00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:16,000
On October 1, 1954, the New York Giants faced the Cleveland Indians at Cleveland Stadium for Game 3 of the 1954 World Series.

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:25,000
The Giants led the best of seven series, two games to none, and this is the mutual radio broadcast of Game 3 featuring announcers Al Helfer and Jimmy Dudley.

4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Good afternoon, fans. And it's really a pleasure to have Al Rosen, all the capable third-best men of the Cleveland Indians, on our direct program this afternoon.

5
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Al, they told me you're not going to play this afternoon.

6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,000
That's right, Frankie. Due to this thigh injury of mine, my right leg has been acting up quite bad. You remember seeing me run.

7
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:50,000
And we feel that possibly I'll be of more value to the team in a 10-centers role or even playing in the later innings of a ball game if necessary.

8
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000
And certainly I can't help the ball club by trying to go all the way.

9
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Well, I know you would help it if you were in then. Now look, Al, what happened in these last two games from a player's viewpoint?

10
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Well, strictly from a player's viewpoint, we feel that one base hit in either ball game or even a fly ball in either ball game, the game might have gone the other way.

11
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
We ran into Magnuson Fitching, a terrific defensive ball club.

12
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Even though I must say for our own sector, I think our pitches were as good as anything we saw from the Giants.

13
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,000
We just didn't get the runs that the Giants did. They capitalized more on opportunities than we did.

14
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
That's right. Winn-Picchi-Cellippi came yesterday. How about that little Adam Ali?

15
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Johnny has come a long way since I saw him this spring, and he certainly deserves the reputation we've received, that we've heard about him.

16
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Johnny certainly is one of the finer left-handers in the game. He's certainly as good as anything we've seen in our league.

17
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Did you hit against him in the All-Star game?

18
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Yes, I did.

19
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,000
How'd you do?

20
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Well, I think John had a bad day, and by the grace of God...

21
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:57,000
I hate him then. You hit two home runs in the All-Star game. Did you hit him all the time?

22
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,000
I did.

23
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Now, what happened yesterday with the man on second base?

24
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Well, I think Johnny was just a better pitcher yesterday. Maybe I was a worse hitter. I don't know.

25
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,000
But Johnny fooled me yesterday. I certainly wasn't looking for a fast ball with the man on second base.

26
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Al, didn't he throw you two fast balls?

27
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Yes, he did. He got one up around my letter, which I think is my long ball, the fast ball up, and then he got another one right down around my knees, and I should have been swinging Frank.

28
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Al, you know we've been hearing so much about playing in a certain ballpark. Do you think a ballpark makes any difference?

29
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:36,000
No, I really don't. I think that sometimes a ballpark looks funny to you when you first walk in it, but most fellows have been around a big league for a few years.

30
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:45,000
They've managed to see most of the ballpark. Now, our club has seen the polo grounds. We've played numerous exhibition games there at the end of our spring training season.

31
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:55,000
So, actually, there's no advantage, I don't believe, to any pitcher working in a certain ballpark or any hitter having to hit against a certain wall in a ballpark.

32
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Well, it's certainly been a terrific series so far. I know Propeller, in my case, has been in as many world series games.

33
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Al, I've been getting a terrific thrill out of this thing. Say Al, I've got a little gift here for you, and it's a new Gillette one-piece razor set.

34
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:18,000
And in the back here is the 1954 World Series record book. I know you'll enjoy that. And just stick around with me for a minute, will you?

35
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:30,000
I want the fans to look for this Gillette display at your favorite store. You will find this big little book filled with baseball bats, and they've got the diagrams of all the ballparks.

36
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:39,000
All the major league ballparks. Now, here's the Cleveland Stadium. Seats 73,500. That's quite a stadium. The seating section and everything is right in there.

37
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:47,000
And you've got 112 pages of real dope on World Series history. And then we turn back here, Al, this is important.

38
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:53,000
I think this is a great little thing in this book. Hands-on winning baseball. And then you've got batting.

39
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:58,000
You know, it's good for little leaguers, good for semi-professional ballplayers, college ballplayers. In fact, I'm going to kick out of reading it.

40
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:07,000
It's got face running, peeling, pitching, and the foil rockers of all clubs. And I hope the fans will get this quick.

41
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Last year a lot of fans waited a little too long, and thousands of fans missed out. So I hope they'll bear down this year and get them soon.

42
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Al, Rosen, lots of luck to you. And I hope that leg comes along, because fans, here's a great guy on the field and off the field. Thanks for being on our program.

43
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Lots of luck to you. And our next guest will be a young fellow that did a courageous job yesterday.

44
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:36,000
I admire this young guy. He walked out his first World Series game. Johnny Antonelli.

45
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
How old are you now, John?

46
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Twenty-four, Frank.

47
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Twenty-four.

48
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Now I want to ask you one question. I felt for you in that first inning yesterday with the three men on.

49
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000
What did Leo say when he walked out of the mound? Were you nervous?

50
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,000
No, I don't think I was nervous. I believe I was trying to be.

51
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Well, I would have been out there.

52
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:02,000
But I mean, he just tried to calm me down, I believe. He didn't actually say much about the game. He just came out there to talk to me, and that was it.

53
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Dave, in the last inning you had a man on 13th third. One out.

54
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Thanks.

55
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000
What were you aspiring to pick worse?

56
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Mostly fastballs at that time, Frank.

57
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,000
That's when you did a...let me brag about you a little. I know you don't care about it too much.

58
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:30,000
But for a young guy, 23, 24 years old, pitching his first World Series game, this kid, the ninth inning, the Giants leading 3-1, did a terrific job to count 3-2.

59
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Right. I think he fell off about five or six pitches.

60
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Five or six pitches, and still you didn't walk.

61
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Right.

62
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:42,000
What about the double play ball? The ball that Regaldo...wasn't that the fellow Rudy Regaldo hit the ball with the shortstop, John?

63
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,000
Yes.

64
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Were you ready to go to the clubhouse in that place?

65
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Actually, I thought we had it, and I was jumping up and down if you had seen me, but I guess I was set to walk on that one.

66
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Say, John, where's your home?

67
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Right now I'm living in Weston, Massachusetts.

68
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Oh, right outside of Boston?

69
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
That's right, about 12 miles.

70
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,000
You're married, aren't you?

71
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Yes, I am.

72
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,000
And how about the little youngsters?

73
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,000
I've got a little daughter, one year old.

74
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
And how about Papa and Mama? Are they here?

75
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Yes, my father and mother are here at Cleveland, right now.

76
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Boy, I bet they got a kick out of that baby yesterday, didn't they?

77
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,000
They certainly did.

78
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Well, John, you're a good kid. You know, I had on my baseball all summer long 25 wins, and you owe me a couple of Coca-Cola's.

79
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,000
You know that, don't you?

80
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:29,000
But look, here's a Gillette Razor, and that little World Series record book, I know you'll like it.

81
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:37,000
I want you to take that little Gillette one-piece razor and a 1954 World Series record book, and you can get your copy at your favorite store.

82
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
And John, I know you'll get a kick out of that.

83
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Thank you very much, Frank.

84
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,000
I can certainly use that.

85
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000
There's a lot of good stuff in there.

86
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
When are you going to pick again?

87
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000
I don't know, Frank. If he needs me Sunday, I'll be ready to pick it now, probably Monday.

88
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Fine, lots of luck to you.

89
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Okay.

90
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Well, fans, the clock says it's time to go until we take you back to Gillette's Broadcasting booth.

91
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
And now, fans, this is your Philly, Jimmy Dudley.

92
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Back to you at New Trolls Readyware booth, and we're ready for today's third game of the 1954 World Series.

93
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,000
This broadcast is authorized under broadcasting rights granted by the Commission of Baseball,

95
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000
And now, ladies and gentlemen, our national anthem.

96
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Oh, can you see by the dawn's early light What the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting In the air, the bombs bursting

97
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Through the land, the land of the free, The land of the free, the land of the free

98
00:07:51,000 --> 00:08:19,000
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting In the air, the land of the free, The land of the free

99
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:35,000
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting

100
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Any publication we broadcast to have a use of the description,

101

102
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,000
And now turning you over to, just before turning you over to our helpers,

103
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000
here are the lineup for today's game.

104
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:59,000
For the Giants, at first base leading off, Whitey Lockman, at shortstop, Alvin Duff, John Mueller, right field,

105
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Willie May, center field, Hank Thompson, third base,

106
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Monty Ervin, left field, Baby Williams, second base, Wes Westrom, catching, and Ruben Gomez, the pitcher.

107
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000
He's won 17 in last nine during the regular season.

108
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:23,000
For the Cruze Indians, the home team, leading off, Al Smith, left field,

109
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Bobby Avila, second base, Larry Dobie, center field, Rick Wirtz, first base, Hank Madeski, third base,

110
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Dave Philly, right field, George Strickland, shortstop, Jim Hegan, catching, and Mike Garcia, the pitcher.

111
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Garcia, during the regular season, won 19 in last eight.

112
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:54,000
The umpires for the third game of the 1954 World Series, falling the balls and strikes back to the play, there's Jaco Conlon.

113
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,000
At first base, Hegan, second base, Al Barlett, third base, Charlie Berge.

114
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,000
On the right field foul line is Ron Warnocky, on the left field foul line is Larry Ness.

115
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Now the Indians have taken the playing field, and today's game is ready to get underway.

116
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000
And here is the man who will get today's game underway for us,

117
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,000
this was Al Helfer, big Al coming in.

118
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Thank you very much, Jimmy Deadley, hi everybody, and we're very happy to say that this speaker,

119
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Bill Gray Eagle, is here in person, he's gotten over his illness, and he's showing out the first ball here this afternoon.

120
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,000
And this speaker throws the first ball out to Jim Hegan, the starting catcher for the Cleveland Indians,

121
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:36,000
and prior to getting started on this game here this afternoon, we have right now, 10 seconds for our four-station identification.

122
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,000
This is mutual, the radio network for all Americans.

123
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,000
This is WGN, this is World Fair Station in Chicago.

124
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:55,000
And now the business in hand here at the vast municipal stadium in Cleveland, Ohio,

125
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,000
where this afternoon Al Lopez is sending a patched-up lineup to meet the New York Giants,

126
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,000
who have won two of the two games already played in the 1954 Classic.

127
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,000
At third base we have Hank Fagetsky, as Jimmy Deadley has already told you.

128
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Hank Fagetsky, one of the veterans of Major League play, taking over for Al Rosen.

129
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Al tried it, his leg was too bad, and he figured that he was in there hurting his ball club rather than helping it.

130
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
So he and Al Lopez got together.

131
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,000
And Al Rosen is on the bench this afternoon and will be utilized as a pinch hitter if needed.

132
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Hank Fagetsky is at third base.

133
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
So let's set the Indians for you defensively now.

134
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,000
As Big Mike Garcia, the vice-salely right-hander, is on the mound for the Cleveland Indians.

135
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Old Val Jess is throwing down to his battery mate, Jim Hegan.

136
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000
At first base is Victor Wirtz, at second base, Bobby Avila.

137
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
At shortstop, George Dickens.

138
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000
At third base, Hank Fagetsky.

139
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Out in left field is Al Smith.

140
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
For center fielder is Laurie Dobie.

141
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000
And at right field here this afternoon is Dave Philly, the kid from Texas.

142
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:54,000
And stepping up to the plate is the first hitter here for the New York Giants, batting at 1-1-1 in the series, 1-9, is Whitey Luchman.

143
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Whitey Luchman hitting left hand, standing deep at the plate.

144
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Now a broad-crossing spot here at Cleveland, who's very fine.

145
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,000
We're right behind home plate, just slightly off on the left-hand side of home plate.

146
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Yoko Conlon, the plate umpire, looks down over the shoulder of Jim Hegan.

147
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,000
And we're about to get started on the third game of the 1954 World Series.

148
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Please remember the Giants have won two, and Cleveland has one run.

149
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
So this is the game, as far as Cleveland is concerned.

150
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Big night, right field, the little fastball, Whitey Luchman swings on, there's a line drive in the right center field.

151
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,000
It's going to be in there for the base hit.

152
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Over is Philly to cut it off.

153
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Luchman down the first base to hold on.

154
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:32,000
So the first hit here this afternoon is a long shot single in the right center field by Whitey Luchman.

155
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:38,000
That is the first hit given up by Garth Thayer, who surrendered only 220 base hits all year.

156
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Now coming up to the plate batting at 375 is Alvin Dark.

157
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:47,000
He has three for eight in the series so far.

158
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Out to a plate from just about straight away.

159
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,000
This is a big ball orchard here, 320 feet down the left and right field line,

160
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,000
to 410 feet to the restraining tension center.

161
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:02,000
A plenty of room to go get them here in this ballpark.

162
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Mike Garth Thayer, the big right-hander from Vitellia, kicks.

163
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Third around the mound, looks down at Alvin Dark, who has that wide, straight eagle stance leaning over.

164
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Whitey Luchman leads off first down comes a pitch fastball fired in at the knee for a called strike.

165
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,000
When Big Mike is right, that fastball of his comes zipping in there.

166
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Hank Majewski, expecting a bunt, is throwing a shallow fur.

167
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:27,000
And Bickford, holding Whitey Luchman on the third base, will come charging in when the next pitch is made.

168
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,000
They're expecting that the New York Giants will try to get that runner down in scoring position.

169
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Whitey Luchman is pretty fast and he's liable to be moving anytime.

170
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
The pitch is made and this time it's flung on.

171
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Alvin Dark hits a foul ball down off the first base line, back into the crowd, out of play.

172
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Hank Majewski, number five, moving back there to take a station third.

173
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,000
It's been a long time since we've seen Hank Majewski start a ball game, but he's always on tap and ready.

174
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:54,000
You know, I've got an interesting note on Hank Majewski for you here in just a moment and I'll pass it along to you.

175
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Like I say, a Texas runner over at first base, that's Whitey Luchman taking a pretty good five lead.

176
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Bickford's on the inside corner.

177
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
We'll look at Alvin Dark now, the pitch is thrown and the swing on.

178
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,000
A pretty good hitting run, man trying to punch the right knee and fouls it off again and that's strike two.

179
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Hank Majewski, the oldest player among all of today's World Series eligible, is playing a third base for Cleveland.

180
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:20,000
He'll be 38 next December the 13th. Now you'll find the ages, the heights, the weights, and the records of all the

181
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,000
first players in the collect World Series books, hope you have yours.

182
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Next pitch to play the swing on by Alvin Dark and this is called strike three.

183
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:34,000
That's the first time Alvin Dark has struck out in the World Series, but he strikes out here for big Mike Garcia.

184
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Mike Garcia had 130 strikeouts over the course of the regular season.

185
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Here's John Mueller, the touchy guy at the plate, nice performance from the standpoint as he's playing that base hit for you.

186
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:53,000
When you're muted the most, John Mueller has two for nine in the series batting a 222, has struck out only one time.

187
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Whitey Luchman, who opened with a line shot single into right center field, is still on the first base for the Giants.

188
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Mike Garcia has to bear down from the opening pitch.

189
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000
He's ready to go here to the left hand of batting John Mueller, the choke hitter.

190
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,000
In comes the first pitch, nice back ball over to him, the first ball strike.

191
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Big Mike when he throws is a little off balance, that is when he finishes up he falls toward first base.

192
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:20,000
When he started out in the spring this year he tried to correct that and finish up in a square away position in order,

193
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:26,000
but he may see in front of balls and balls that were hit back to his right, the left of the pitchers mounted will look out from the diamond.

194
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,000
But he found that he was not as effective with his pitches so he went back to his old style.

195
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,000
He delivers now, pass ball, swing on, hit down off the rubber, a home play to hide down to the availer.

196
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,000
The play goes to Stickland for one to throw back, it's gotten time, gets away from Bigfoot,

197
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Heaghan is backing up, there goes Mueller trying to check and the throw goes down and he's in there.

198
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:49,000
The throw got away from Nick DeWitt who had to reach for it, it was a hurried throw by George Stickland.

199
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
And we'll probably have an error charge on the play.

200
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:58,000
So we'll wait for the official score as Mr. MacCarrie and Mr. George and Mr. Caminto to see what their decision is going to do on this one.

201
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:04,000
They're going to go from first down to second. There's going to be an error on George Stickland.

202
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:13,000
So puts John Mueller on at second base on the error, committed by George Stickland on his over throw at first base trying to get a double play.

203
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:19,000
And incidentally we have not had a double play in the World Series up till now.

204
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:25,000
So Mueller will get first on the fourth out of Wiley-Laxman at second base.

205
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,000
They went from Avila to Stickland so we have two outs, one on and Willie Mays coming up.

206
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,000
We'll get together base at the series.

207
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Starkey opposing the fastball and brushes the uniform drive the batter away from the plate, that's ball one.

208
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Willie Mays in this series so far has walked three times, he struck out once.

209
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:46,000
He has gone 0 for 5, no hits for 5 official times up.

210
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Mays the right handed batter, what a ball hop and the National League Batting Champions.

211
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:59,000
That's away from the plate now, he's down here one ball and no strikes.

212
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Up until just this moment when George Stickland committed the error, the throwing error at first base allowing John Mueller to scoot on down to second.

213
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,000
The Cleveland Indians were absolutely errorless in the World Series.

214
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:23,000
That's it, Texas running with second, delivers a play to soft curve ball, it's one run by Mays and punches back foul right off the right of our Gillette microphone bouncing up near the first section and bounces down into the television camera.

215
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Somebody goes home over there on that camera crew, very happily this afternoon with a souvenir of the World Series.

216
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:35,000
There are two outs here in the top of the first inning, John Mueller is running with second base for the New York Giants.

217
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:40,000
There is no sore here with Leighton overcast skies, sucking the four rings down on us any minute.

218
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,000
The bits of the plate are high and inside to Willie Mays.

219
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000
It's now to two balls and one strike.

220
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:55,000
We've got more airplanes flying over this municipal stadium here this afternoon that even Jimmy Dudley, an old pilot himself, can shake a stick at.

221
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,000
But he's flying high right here in the broadcast and he doesn't have to be in that plane this afternoon.

222
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Jimmy invited me to take a plane ride with him and I said, now what's the simmer down after the series is over, we'll do it.

223
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Willie Mays up at the plate with the count of one ball and two strikes.

224
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Big Mike Garcia as the winner on his second behind him, there are two outs for the Giants here in the top half of the first inning.

225
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,000
There is no sore.

226
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Outfield playing fans around the left and deep as Mike Garcia throws the overhand fastball.

227
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Mays swings and doesn't get it.

228
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,000
That's strike two.

229
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,000
The Vice-Valiant right-hander came right back and tore that ball in over the fifth from the inside corner.

230
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Mays liked it.

231
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Two balls and two strikes.

232
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Now on number 24, Willie Mays.

233
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Jockel Conlon handling the plate here this afternoon in the third game of the World Series.

234
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Down comes the pitch to Mays.

235
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Fastball coming on.

236
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Hit the right field.

237
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,000
The Crandreau.

238
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,000
When he comes in, he cuts the ball.

239
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,000
It bounces off his chest.

240
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
He goes to second base as Wheeler comes on in to score.

241
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000
So Willie Mays gets his first thing hit.

242
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Willie Mays, the single in the right field, driving the run here.

243
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000
And the Giants lead one to nothing.

244
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,000
John Mueller shooting around and coming on in from second base to score.

245
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,000
So the air is up and he has hurt right up until now.

246
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:15,000
That's the second hit of Mike Garcia and run number one.

247
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
So Cleveland's behind here in the top half of the first inning.

248
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,000
The Giants have a runner on the first base and Willie Mays, a pretty good hit-and-run guy.

249
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Up at the third, a pretty good hit-and-run guy with a stick in his hand is Henry Thompson.

250
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,000
He's batting a 333 in the series, two for six.

251
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,000
And Eastlake spectacularly appeared defensively.

252
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:39,000
A fastball, Thompson tying outside as the sun breaks out to cast a shadow here at Cleveland for the first time.

253
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,000
One ball and no strikes.

254
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,000
It's a count on Hank Thompson, a little left-handed hitter, standing deep at the plate.

255
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:49,000
The weatherman said exactly at one o'clock we would expect the heavens to open up and rain the four down on us,

256
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,000
but it hasn't happened so far.

257
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Garcia leans forward, puts back over his left shoulder, checking Willie Mays at first.

258
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,000
The pitch is made to the plate.

259
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Thompson takes it high inside.

260
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Willie Mays holding right on there at first base.

261
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Two balls, no strikes.

262
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,000
It's a count on Thompson.

263
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Hank Thompson batting a 333 in series play.

264
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Hank has walked wide, struck out once in the two games that have preceded this one.

265
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000
Garcia leaning forward to take his sign, checks his runner, Willie Mays.

266
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,000
He's always a threat to goal.

267
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Down comes the pitch.

268
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Mays slips, going, and the pitch is taken at the plate for ball three.

269
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Garcia asks Jaco Conlon for another baseball and gets it.

270
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:39,000
We should like to hear the start of the third game of the World Series to compliment the umpires for the work they have done in this World Series so far.

271
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
We've had two fine jobs behind the plate in the first and second games.

272
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Al Bartick of the National League in the first game, a mighty fine job behind the plate.

273
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:50,000
And Charlie Berry, the veteran in the American League umpire, came up with an equal performance yesterday.

274
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,000
And here's Jaco Conlon, a very fine veteran, working the plate this afternoon.

275
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,000
An overhand fastball.

276
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,000
He's in there for a strike, giving a count on Thompson now, a three-and-one.

277
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:05,000
Garcia back to visit the Rosenberg, number 25, standing down there on the mound.

278
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Gets up, takes the position on the rubber.

279
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Willie Mays will take a lead at first now.

280
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,000
The first hole, green side corner on him.

281
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,000
The check of the runner, down comes the pitch, taken.

282
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,000
It's outside by Scherrard on a leather curveball.

283
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:23,000
So Thompson drives his third base on balls in the series, the first one here this afternoon.

284
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,000
The first walk driven up by Garcia.

285
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Garcia walks 71 over the regular season.

286
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Now hitting right-handed is Monty Urban.

287
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Monty has gone 0-4 in the series.

288
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,000
He's starting the course at 0-0-0.

289
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,000
The right-hand hitter has an opportunity of knocking in his first run.

290
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,000
As Willie Mays has moved down to second on the walk, handed by Arturio DeSampson.

291
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,000
The first pitch to Monty Urban, a strike.

292
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Monty backs his group up a handful of dirt, drives hands.

293
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,000
Hudson downlong his uniform trousers, steps back in, beats the bat down on the rubber of home plate.

294
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,000
Garcia now standing out the sunlight.

295
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,000
The sun is broken forth in all of the printing here for at least a moment.

296
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Delivered to the plate.

297
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,000
It's taken high and inside for ball one.

298
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,000
One ball and one strike to count on Monty Urban.

299
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,000
The big left field is the New York Giants.

300
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Batting number six in the order.

301
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,000
He'll be followed by Davey Williams if he's needed.

302
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Five men have come to the plate.

303
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000
One runner has been scored by the Giants.

304
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,000
They lead one to nothing.

305
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Willie Mays at second.

306
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Hank Thompson's run at first, two down.

307
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,000
OK, a computer with an overhand let-up that sits outside at the shoulder.

308
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Two balls and one strike.

309
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,000
And there's going to be some activity down on the bullpen now for the Cleveland Indians.

310
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,000
The right-hander up and starting to throw for the Braves.

311
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000
That'll be Art Haldeman.

312
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Art Haldeman up throwing for Cleveland in the Cleveland bullpen.

313
00:22:53,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Down back, that'll be right field line.

314
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Interesting notes that Steve Jess just put up here and I believe that the two as I take the grants back through the books,

315
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000
the first team to score in both games that have already been played blocked the ball game.

316
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,000
The book is thrown on.

317
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:16,000
There's a half-foul ball hit off to the right of the plate and way back into the customers.

318
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
Two balls, two strikes on Monty Urban.

319
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Yeah, that's right, Paul.

320
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Cleveland scored first in the first game and scored first in the second game and they went on to lose both of them.

321
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:29,000
And now the Giants play the first time here in the top half of the first inning.

322
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:34,000
Jess, I'm going to be going along in the series that we'd like to know for you.

323
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Two balls, two strikes to count on Monty Urban with runners for first and second, two down top of the first.

324
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:44,000
The Giants leading one to nothing.

325
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Now Garcia as set.

326
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Check his runner, Willie Mays as second.

327
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Belivers plays an overhand fastball.

328
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Monty Urban punches the pile off the first-place line as goes Higgins over near the Cleveland Duggars.

329
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,000
And Higgins is back.

330
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:58,000
He's going to make the catch.

331
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
That's one catch on a fastball by Jim Higgins.

332
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,000
So here in the first inning for the New York Giants one run on a fair bay pitch.

333
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,000
There was one walk mixed in there.

334
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,000
There was another committed by Cleveland and two men were left on.

335
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:15,000
So the score at the end of the top half of the first inning is the New York Giants one.

336
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,000
They're now coming to back Cleveland Indians nothing.

337
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,000
That's all.

338
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:26,000
This is the got to do it game for the Indians if they want to preserve their World Series win record.

339
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:33,000
If you've had the 1954 Gillette World Series record book handy, you know how it steps up your enjoyment of the game.

340
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,000
You'll find it equally valuable this winter and when baseball wins around next spring.

341
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:44,000
This free pocketized book index so anyone can put his finger on what he wants quickly gives all-time series scores.

342
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:54,000
The record of every player modern record breaking performance, basic rules, baseball slang, scoring instructions, and for budding big leaders, there are also hints on winning baseball.

343
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Next to a copy by a Gillette Trooper Speed Racer set for one dollar the regular price.

344
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:08,000
The record book is attached and it's free, but hurry they're running out fast.

345
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,000
Now into the last half of inning number one here at the Minnesota Stadium in Cleveland.

346
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000
One to nothing in favor of the New York Giants.

347
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000
They scored one time on two base hits.

348
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,000
Look at the bandage of a cruiser there.

349
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:25,000
And we have the first unearned run in the 1964 World Series.

350
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,000
Now stepping up to the plate hitting right-handed is Al Smith.

351
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:34,000
Young fellow who led off for Cleveland yesterday by poking a home run out of the park at the Polo Ground.

352
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:39,000
He has three hits for eight at-bats batting at 375.

353
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,000
He crowds up on the plate, stands three quarters deep and is a joke hitter.

354
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Ruben Gomez from Francisco is on the mound for the New York Giants, makes the first pitch, a fast ball that's underneath for ball one.

355
00:25:52,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Ruben Gomez on the regular season for the New York Giants, won 17 ball games last night before shutout.

356
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,000
His battering mate is the very dependable West Westman.

357
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,000
At first base, Wiley Lockman.

358
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Second is David Williams, a shortstop captain Al Vandark.

359
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,000
At third, Hank Thompson, out of left field, Marty Irvin. The center fielder is Lou Mays.

360
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000
And in right field is Don Mueller.

361
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Al Smith up at the plate ready now. Gomez, the right-hander, throws a sidearm fast ball.

362
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:26,000
And the south side, the crossfire, misses the ball too.

363
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Two balls, no strikes.

364
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Down here on Al Smith.

365
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Thompson's playing rather shallow third base on his right-hand hitter.

366
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Right-hander throws another sidearm. It's been off the hip, right side up against the batter, the ball three.

367
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Al Smith will stand around the left.

368
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Al Smith, he'll put that long ball for you.

369
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,000
He proved that yesterday, leading off ball three.

370
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Aware of number 32.

371
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000
Simon looks down over the shoulder of Westman.

372
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,000
Here comes Gomez's pitch.

373
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Sidearm let up, it's up side with all four. Maybe it's up for tying on arms.

374
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,000
That's the second time Smith has lost in a series.

375
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,000
First base on balls given up by Gomez.

376
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Here's Bobby Avila.

377
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Bobby Avila.

378
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:33,000
He's fighting a 222, has two for nine in the series.

379
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:38,000
One on, nobody out here in the last half of the first inning.

380
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:44,000
Ruben Gomez looks over at first base to see what Whitey Luckman's doing about holding him close for the years.

381
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,000
Bobby Avila standing in, batting right-handed.

382
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,000
The American League batting champion.

383
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Gomez throws the pitch, home is going to break the swing on and foul-kicked.

384
00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:02,000
So Al Lopez wanted to get that man down to second, get him around.

385
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,000
Right away the gay senior are playing hit-and-run ball here.

386
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:10,000
Before the thousands that have jammed in here through the municipal stadium in Cleveland.

387
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:15,000
The Giants are leading in the ball game one to nothing by virtue of their one run score at the top of the first.

388
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,000
And aware of number one himself, Bobby Avila.

389
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,000
He'll put in front of the very first Mexico.

390
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Out at the plate here for the Indians.

391
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Comes in with the pitch, there's the bunt.

392
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Down to the left for Mike Gomez, comes off field, throws the first base in time.

393
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,000
There's got Bobby Avila and there is the runner moving down to second.

394
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Flip over and second, almost thrown out.

395
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Whitey Luckman, whips that ball over quickly.

396
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,000
He's got Bob Alvin Dark.

397
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,000
So Avila's out, sacrificing, very successfully.

398
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,000
A very nicely placed bunt for the left-back pitchers now.

399
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:52,000
And if you look out on the diamond, Gomez and a big hurd made to play to Whitey Luckman.

400
00:28:52,000 --> 00:29:00,000
There's Larry Dobie.

401
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Alvin Dark talking to Wilbur Gomez.

402
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:09,000
As this fellow is in right hand to get ready now to pitch to left hand hitting Larry Dobie.

403
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,000
This kind of feeling for the Cleveland Indians has been such a star for them over the years,

404
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:19,000
particularly this year in the run-started-in department and in the home run department.

405
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:24,000
So it snippers on at second base, a pretty free-to-pitch guy who can really move around the bases.

406
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,000
Dobie has a chance to find his ball, get him up to him and come through with a base hit.

407
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Right on fastball, Dobie's low into the base.

408
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:43,000
And that is ball one.

409
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000
Now Gomez hits.

410
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Here comes the pitch, a fastball that drives Dobie back from the pitchers, flipped over the inside center chest,

411
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:54,000
high, right under the level, score called strike.

412
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,000
One ball, one strike to count on Larry Dobie.

413
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,000
He holds up that way down to the end.

414
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Starts to bend his knees as though he were about to get down on him.

415
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Opens his stance just slightly down toward first base.

416
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,000
The outfield is around right and deep.

417
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Hit to him, a let-up curveball is outside knee-high, football through.

418
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000
One ball, one strike on Larry Dobie.

419
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
One out to the Indians here in the last half of the first inning.

420
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:23,000
Al Smith, the leadoff man, walks with sacrifice by Bobby Adair down to second base.

421
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,000
And he's in starting position at second in this one-nothing ball game for the Giants.

422
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Tony Cucinello waiting to wave some traffic by third.

423
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:36,000
He yells upwards with encouragement as Gomez pitches outside again to Dobie for ball three.

424
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Three balls and one strike.

425
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Smith hanging pretty close there at second base.

426
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000
He doesn't want to be caught off.

427
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,000
The Giants use the count plate quite often.

428
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Takes a little whirl around and makes the cross back there,

429
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:00,000
waiting for the man-designated cover.

430
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,000
And in the hopes that he does.

431
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,000
The Giants call as Larry Dobie steps away from the plate and Gomez, about ready to pitch,

432
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
has to break back off the mound.

433
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,000
Now he's set.

434
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Smith takes his lead and comes to pitch.

435
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,000
It's taken by Dobie over on the outside corner for a half-second.

436
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,000
That's the second lead.

437
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,000
Three balls and two strikes.

438
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,000
Well, we've got thousands on fire from the stands here this afternoon.

439
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,000
I can tell you that for sure.

440
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,000
Oh, everybody sees that pitch just a little bit differently.

441
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,000
It all depends on which side you're rooting for, too.

442
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,000
It's the bail pitch now to Larry Dobie for in two.

443
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Gomez checks his runner at second.

444
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,000
Delivers the fake fastball.

445
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Dobie swings at the high-fly ball to his short center field.

446
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,000
Coming in is Willie Mays, as he has it.

447
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,000
And he has.

448
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000
So there's the second out.

449
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Dobie flying out to Willie Mays in center.

450
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Smith holds on at second.

451
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,000
And here is Victor Wirtz.

452
00:31:52,000 --> 00:32:03,000
Victor Wirtz carrying the highest batting percentages of anybody on the field right now.

453
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:08,000
For Cleveland in this area, Victor Wirtz, obtained from the Baltimore Orioles

454
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:14,000
about the middle of the summer, has five for eight, including extra base floors.

455
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,000
And he is batting right this minute at 625 in World Series play.

456
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Big fellow from New York, Pennsylvania, hit from left-handed.

457
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,000
Primitually bald guy.

458
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,000
Steps up to the plate.

459
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:30,000
He's got pretty good-sized wrists and forearms.

460
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Hits him left-handed, stands almost straight away to the pitcher.

461
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,000
The outfield comes around slightly to the right.

462
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:41,000
Particularly, right fielder Don Mueller playing deep in right field.

463
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:47,000
Hits his inside off the hip for a ball run.

464
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,000
Fast half of the first inning. Cleveland has a tying run on its second, two down.

465
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,000
Victor Wirtz up there.

466
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,000
Then comes the pitch.

467
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Again, Wirtz backs off one inside.

468
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:03,000
That's ball two.

469
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Leo DeRosier must really be masterminding the Giants right down to the net field

470
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:15,000
because Westrom keeps checking in for the Giants dugout to DeRosier to make sure what he wants called.

471
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Gomez delivers a knucklehead that's hung on the middle of his side.

472
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,000
Gomez will flash that knucklehead to you every once in a while.

473
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:30,000
And I notice he throws a sidearm pitch, much in the manner of Larry Janton, who is now on the coaching staff.

474
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,000
You know, Larry was taken off of the active staff.

475
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,000
He's now coached, but they tell me he's going to make a comeback for next year.

476
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,000
He's been working with these pitchers.

477
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:43,000
And one of the pitchers, Gomez sort of emulates the old guy from Forest Grove.

478
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:47,000
The three-one delivery. There's the knucklehead again. It's outside.

479
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Three balls and one strike to count on Victor Wirtz.

480
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,000
That's the moment I felt a drop of rain.

481
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000
This was my imagination.

482
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,000
Three balls, one strike to count on Victor Wirtz.

483
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Neff is on his second and scoring position.

484
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
The outfield around to right and deep.

485
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Wirtz comes in free, one with the fastball. Swing on and hits right on the line to Alvin Dark and Short.

486
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Wirtz lands out to Dark and Short.

487
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,000
There's a dog for Cleveland. That's what goes for the board.

488
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
No runs. There were no base hits.

489
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
There were no giant errors.

490
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:31,000
And Cleveland has now left their 27th man on, the first one here this afternoon.

491
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:36,000
As players on the field this afternoon, one guy stands out in my mind.

492
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:41,000
I saw him at the Pittsburgh Magnificent ball game yesterday for five innings before he was dented.

493
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:47,000
And I went down to the locker room and ran into Early Wim in that locker room and he was shaving yesterday.

494
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000
He's a fine guy.

495
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,000
He's as fine as you ever heard from me. And he's a real rooter for Gillette.

496
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,000
He told me, sure I used the Gillette razor round. There's nothing like it.

497
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,000
A quick shave puts me back in form after a tough workout.

498
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:05,000
And finally, here's the stuff, easy shaving, one piece Gillette I've been telling you about, remember?

499
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:14,000
You get the Gillette World Series Record Book with us, please.

500
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Now we move into the second inning here, at Cleveland.

501
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:23,000
The first man up for the New York Giants will be Williams, starting the last third of their batting order.

502
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,000
Williams will be followed by West Westman, and then will come Ruben Gomez,

503
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,000
as Mike Garcia goes back to the mound.

504
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Mike Garcia from Visellia, California.

505
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Big likeable right-hander, working with his battering mate Jim Hagan.

506
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Dave Williams batting in the series at 0-0-0. He's 0-7.

507
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000
He's coming up.

508
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,000
The wearer of number ten.

509
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,000
Davey stands about three-quarters deep at the plate.

510
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Sweetwired spread apart, slightly open, stands down toward bird.

511
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,000
The justy comes up to play shallow at third base.

512
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,000
The justy expands around to the left for Davey.

513
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,000
And all hands are ready to go.

514
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:11,000
1-0 in favor of the Giants here over the Indians at municipal stadium in Cleveland in the third game of the 1954 World Series.

515
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,000
The justy is ready.

516
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,000
Frozen overhand curveball.

517
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Touch guard at ball one.

518
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,000
The justy will give you a little of that big motion in through that close stuff sometimes.

519
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,000
The justy's best pitch is probably quite in the fastball.

520
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,000
There's the fastball.

521
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,000
It's under the knee.

522
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,000
Good ball to strike to count on Davey Williams.

523
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Rest him on deck to go next.

524
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,000
Herman Francis, his coach for the Giants, down behind third.

525
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,000
At first it's ready for Simmons.

526
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Oh, that's ready really.

527
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,000
It was a picture in his day, wasn't it?

528
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Great. Jim is like, you remember him many times.

529
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,000
Ticks. A fastball.

530
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Fired through the knees for a called strike.

531
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,000
He's down to two-and-one now on Williams.

532
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,000
He's taken down the comfort line.

533
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,000
Garfield leads forward to take it.

534
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,000
And they pitch now to Davey Williams.

535
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Garfield overhands the fastball.

536
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,000
It's just low enough right.

537
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,000
That's ball three.

538
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Three balls and one strike.

539
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:13,000
Garfield isn't playing his deep for Davey Williams as they would play, say, for a guy like Weston.

540
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,000
Williams won't hit that long ball too often.

541
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Fastball to him is fired across the knees, an overhand fastball to run the count clean through.

542
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:29,000
Williams moves that stick back and forth rather nervously.

543
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,000
Garfield seems to operate the same way.

544
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,000
He's a header behind.

545
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,000
Delivers three-two to the fastball.

546
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Inside off the knees for ball four.

547
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:42,000
So Williams walks for his first time this afternoon and the first time in the World Series.

548
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,000
He's got the second base on balls given up by Garfield.

549
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
And the batter is West Westrom.

550
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,000
West has two base hits for sixth at bat.

551
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,000
And his percentage for World Series players this year is 333.

552
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Right-hand hitter with a slightly open stance down toward 30.

553
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:03,000
So he's headed corners across batter's box.

554
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,000
Works up somewhat on the handle.

555
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Walks up on the first pitch and takes it under the knees for ball one.

556
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:18,000
Javi Williams opens the second inning by getting a walk here for the New York Giants.

557
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,000
He's on the first base.

558
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:25,000
And Pickworks holds the inside corner.

559
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,000
Larksy is taking plenty of time.

560
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,000
Text is running Williams at first.

561
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Delivers the plate.

562
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,000
An overhand fastball is through there.

563
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,000
First strike right off the base.

564
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Westrom just shook his head as if to say he didn't quite think so.

565
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,000
He's going out home in Franks to pick up the sign.

566
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,000
It's been relayed from the bench.

567
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,000
Williams has that sign.

568
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:49,000
He's already been informed as to what it might be from Freddie Simmons.

569
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:53,000
Counted one ball, one strike on Westrom.

570
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Garcia settles down, deals it off and Westrom's trying to bunch the ball.

571
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Misses it completely.

572
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,000
The ball gets away from Huygen here goes to Williams down to the second base.

573
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,000
So we'll know in a minute whether it's going to be a wild pitch or a fastball.

574
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,000
It's a wild pitch.

575
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,000
So we have a wild pitch moving David Williams down to second base.

576
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Shrugs the wild pitch to Garcia.

577
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:28,000
So David Williams now is in scoring position.

578
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Garcia and Magersky are talking things over.

579
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,000
Williams had a wild pitch yesterday if you recall.

580
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,000
And Lemonhead won the first day.

581
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:44,000
All three of the Cleveland pitchers have come up with a wild pitch now in one of the third games.

582
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,000
Westom at the plate with a count of two balls, one strike.

583
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,000
David Williams now in scoring position.

584
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,000
One to nothing in favor of the New York Giants.

585
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,000
They scored in the top of the first inning.

586
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,000
Garcia pitches.

587
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Westom tries to bunch this one and fouls it off to the right of the plate.

588
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:00,000
So they're trying to get Williams over to third to score him on that sacrifice fly.

589
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,000
It's no other way.

590
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:08,000
But Westom now has a count of strike two so the big danger of the bunch goes to the board.

591
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Two balls, two strikes to count on Westom.

592
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:21,000
This Western's a very determined guy.

593
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,000
Very hardworking guy.

594
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,000
They call him the bulldog behind the plate.

595
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,000
I guess he is in a way.

596
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,000
He's got his 15-year-old time and hangs on.

597
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,000
He's still ready to pitch two and two and two.

598
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,000
He's down.

599
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:38,000
The corner of the miss for strike three.

600
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,000
Gomez setting that fast ball and got him.

601
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,000
That's the second strikeout for him.

602
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:50,000
And Ruben Gomez, a pretty fair-hitting pitcher, comes up to the plate.

603
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,000
West Western from Clearbrook, Minnesota.

604
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,000
Now living in Hyde Park, New York.

605
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Strikes back to the Giants dugout down the third baseline to sit down.

606
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:11,000
Ruben Gomez coming up to the plate.

607
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,000
Ruben Gomez hits him right-handed.

608
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,000
That's the big swim.

609
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,000
Now, quickly for the equal right-hander.

610
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,000
He has an overly close stance.

611
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Let's look forward to the plate.

612
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,000
Fall and slander.

613
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Remember, it serves me rightly.

614
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Ruben Gomez hit a home run with here for the Giants.

615
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,000
And please remember, let's fix it.

616
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,000
Remember, he swings on the first pitch and doesn't get it.

617
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Let's hear Ruben, point that fast ball in there.

618
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Baby Williams still on there at second base.

619
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,000
One out here and they talk to second inning.

620
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,000
Giants leading one to nothing.

621
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,000
As they were working again, take something off the fast ball.

622
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,000
And this is with a bow outside to Gomez.

623
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:52,000
He's down.

624
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,000
There's one ball, one strike with him now.

625
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,000
On back to go next is the Giants leadoff man, first baseman, Whitey Lockman.

626
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:04,000
He started everything off here in this ball game with a line drive single in the right center.

627
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,000
Let's hear again a second runner at second.

628
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,000
That's Baby Williams.

629
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,000
Hooks down to Gomez.

630
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Then delivers to him an overhand fast ball.

631
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,000
Gomez countered in the center field.

632
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Larry Doby offers left to center, takes the line drive, hurriedly rips up the call in,

633
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:20,000
and Baby Williams has to hold on at second.

634
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:24,000
Gomez hit the ball well all right, but lined it right to Larry Doby.

635
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,000
They have a second out here in the top half, Albany number two.

636
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,000
Whitey Lockman moves in.

637
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,000
Here's Carolina Gomez.

638
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,000
He's one of the most quiet guys you'll meet in a long time.

639
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:42,000
Whitey Lockman, he and Don Muir, I think if you put them in a room all by themselves,

640
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:50,000
they probably wouldn't have 50 words of conversation in 24 hours.

641
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Mike Garcia ready to pitch to Whitey Lockman.

642
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Only thing Whitey gets hoppin' mad twice on playing field.

643
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:05,000
And Don Muir only one time.

644
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:10,000
Always steady performance, both of them.

645
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,000
Now Garcia gets set.

646
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,000
Takes his time from Higginafter, shaking one off.

647
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,000
He's ready, looks willing, second.

648
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,000
There's the tape.

649
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:24,000
And breaks back off the mound and chases Williams back into second.

650
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:36,000
Mageski is playing shallow at third base.

651
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,000
Down comes the pitch to the plate now to Lockman at flow.

652
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:46,000
Count is one ball and no strikes.

653
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:51,000
Can you imagine truly something for Hank Mageski to be down there playing the third base in the World Series?

654
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:55,000
He's been a utility man for several years.

655
00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:02,000
He probably figures this is a real opportunity, a rematch, so to speak.

656
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,220
The

657
00:44:04,220 --> 00:44:06,000
fastball is over for Lee.

658
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:16,000
The first strike now is a count on Whitey Lockman.

659
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,000
Garcia taking plenty of time to convert.

660
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,000
Two outs, one on.

661
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,000
Williams is second.

662
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,000
He was lost and was wild-pitched for second.

663
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,000
Garcia trying to get out of his trouble here with the Giants leading on the method.

664
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,000
Dover, Lockman swings and beats one foul.

665
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,000
And while we have the new ball going in play, let's pause for a second for station identification.

666
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,000
This is New T.O., the radio network for all of America.

667
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:47,000
WGM Chicago, your exclusive World Series station.

668
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,000
Right back to the versus of hand here at Cleveland.

669
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,000
It's Mike Garcia picking to Whitey Lockman with the count of one ball and no strikes.

670
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:57,000
And down in the Cleveland bullpen, Art Haldeman.

671
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:02,000
Right hand there warming up for Cleveland just in case Garcia should have any more trouble here in inning number two.

672
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,000
Mike has been touched for one run and two hits.

673
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,000
All of that coming in the first inning.

674
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,000
One error behind him, of course, did not help him.

675
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:11,000
The run incidentally is unearned in case he's feeling in late.

676
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,000
Garcia is ready.

677
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:19,000
Delivers a curveball swung on by Lockman and dribbled up the first baseline where Vic Wirtz picks it up.

678
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,000
One ball and two strikes.

679
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,000
A count on Whitey Lockman.

680
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:28,000
Hanging around, hoping to get a chance to hit the innings, Alvin Dark.

681
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,000
Leaves the midfield, Vic to Wirtz at first.

682
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:43,000
Bobby Avila at second, George Dickman at short, and Hank Brzezki at third.

683
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,000
Lockman choking up on the handle of the bat.

684
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,000
Standing away from the plate with an open stance, flatly down toward first.

685
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,000
Outfield playing him as a punch hitter into left field.

686
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,000
They're not even playing him straight away.

687
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,000
Big hole in the outfield in the right center.

688
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,000
Locked the daylight too.

689
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,000
Down the right field line.

690
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,000
Garcia delivers.

691
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:04,000
Whitey Lockman swings and cuts his foul back to the tree.

692
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:05,000
One ball, two strikes.

693
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:09,000
A count on Whitey.

694
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,000
David Williams.

695
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:17,000
Another second base there so long he's about to grow roots.

696
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:18,000
Cuts down.

697
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Out takes his lead.

698
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:25,000
Garcia keeps checking back there to make sure Whitey.

699
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,000
To make sure David Williams is not taking too much of a lead.

700
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,000
Now he delivers the plate to Whitey Lockman.

701
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:31,000
Swung on.

702
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,000
There's a high fly ball hung along the right field line.

703
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:37,000
It could be trouble for Tindr, but Avila goes back and slips over in foul territory.

704
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,000
Takes that ball and stumbles and turns on there.

705
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,000
Tindr's track and goes down.

706
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,000
He's all right.

707
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:46,000
A very, very nice play by Bobby Avila in foul territory.

708
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,000
Slipped across the line, deep behind first base.

709
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,000
Oh, made a great play out of that one.

710
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,000
So Whitey Lockman is out.

711
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:58,000
Here's a second baseman, Bobby Avila.

712
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,000
Go for the dance.

713
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,000
No runs, no hits.

714
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,000
No errors.

715
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,000
One man was left on.

716
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,000
A round of applause for Bobby Avila as he comes off the playing field.

717
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,000
He richly deserved it.

718
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:14,000
Well, a score at the end of one and a half minutes of play is New York 1 and Cleveland nothing.

719
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,000
My opponent is no good.

720
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,000
Hooray!

721
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,000
My opponent can't even count.

722
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,000
Hooray!

723
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,000
You're wrong.

724
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:25,000
I'm right.

725
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,000
Ooh.

726
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Although we argue politics, on one thing we're a queen.

727
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,000
Force make her better looking gay.

728
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,000
Kick your ass to proceed.

729
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,000
My friend, you came great, 1, 2, 3.

730
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,000
And fast, quick, pay your debt.

731
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,000
Plus, double-edged economy.

732
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:49,000
The people forced to laugh, to look sad.

733
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:53,000
When you paint the world, you feel sad.

734
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:57,000
On the ball, it's easy to just be sad.

735
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:02,000
Kick your ass to proceed.

736
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,000
Your hand raised.

737
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:11,000
Well, don't forget, friends, the valuable Gillette World Series record book is included free when you buy a Gillette Super Speed Racer.

738
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,000
Now Hank Majewski.

739
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,000
He was used as a pinch spatter over in New York.

740
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:21,000
And Hank Majewski's 0 for 1.

741
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:26,000
So he's coming up for his second time in World Series play.

742
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,000
Hank Majewski batting right-handed.

743
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:34,000
He's a little fella, very stockily put together, heavy, he's set through the leg.

744
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,000
Pretty good sized chest on him.

745
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,000
Gomez tries to pass ball on him and misses with it outside.

746
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:44,000
Low, for ball one, he gets away from Western, shoots back and screens.

747
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Majewski came on as a pinch spatter in the ninth inning, the first game of the World Series, and didn't even get a chance to get up to the plate.

748
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:58,000
Mitchell came in to bat for him when Drosser pulled some strategy and shifted pitchers from Little to Grytham.

749
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:15,000
This next pitch is over the low and it counts as ball two on Majewski.

750
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,000
Two balls and one strike.

751
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:23,000
Gomez tried on fast ball, plays the two there at the knees for a cold strike.

752
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,000
Two balls and one strike on Hank Majewski.

753
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:37,000
I can guarantee you that should the closing Indians pop up with anything in this ballgame this afternoon, this crowd, and there's a good one here, will really tear the place down.

754
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:41,000
The Giants have won a pair and the Indians are trying to dent it.

755
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:45,000
There's the third ball to Majewski, good at the knees for a cold strike.

756
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,000
Two balls, two strikes on Hank Majewski.

757
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:53,000
He's the number five hitter in the Cleveland order coming up for his first time in the ballgame, leading off here in the second inning.

758
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:59,000
He's leading one to nothing.

759
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:06,000
Gomez sets the other two to a side on curveball, swung on and bounced foul down to Tony Couturello, approaching behind third.

760
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,000
Clips it over to Gomez.

761
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:21,000
Probably you can hear in the background the rattle of the telegraph key sending the description of this ballgame to parts of the world where radio probably has not been able to get to.

762
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:28,000
And that would be pretty small I think because Evans knows this one's going all over the place.

763
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,000
Fastball is swung on by Majewski.

764
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,000
There's a high tough foul on the first base line.

765
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:36,000
Whitey Rockland gets over under, makes a catch and Majewski is out.

766
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,000
Edmunds on Dave Philly.

767
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,000
Dave Philly is looking for his first World Series hit.

768
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,000
He's also score.

769
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:51,000
The fourth hitter from Paris, Texas will be batting left-handed against Ruben Gomez.

770
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,000
He's been quite a defensive man for Cleveland this year.

771
00:50:55,000 --> 00:51:01,000
Dave Philly, obtained from the Philadelphia Athletics by the Cleveland Indians.

772
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:05,000
Gomez ready to work to him, delivers a sidearm curve that stays outside of our shoulder high.

773
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:12,000
Gomez will throw you the school ball every now and then and he works it particularly to left-hand hitters.

774
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:16,000
Looks like that's what that might have been.

775
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:20,000
Comes down again with an overhand fastball and misses with it again.

776
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:24,000
That's ball two, low and outside.

777
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,000
Two balls, no strikes. One out.

778
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,000
Nobody on last half of the second inning.

779
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:32,000
Cleveland up at bat and trailing one to nothing.

780
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:37,000
Gomez, sort of a spindly leg guy, standing out on the mound, leaning forward, taking a side from Weston.

781
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:49,000
Goes to the top of the pump, comes down with a curve ball that Philly strives into and takes shoulder high for ball three.

782
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:54,000
Three balls, no strikes.

783
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:58,000
Continues to be dark and overcast here at Cleveland.

784
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,000
Now the three-oh delivery.

785
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,000
A fastball inside for ball four.

786
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:08,000
And picks up the second walk, given up by Gomez.

787
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:13,000
Here's George Strickland.

788
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:18,000
George Strickland in the World Series has gone 0 for 6.

789
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,000
So he has no batting suspended.

790
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:25,000
George has been a victim of a strikeout twice.

791
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,000
He has completely closed stance and bats right hand.

792
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:31,000
All thin color from New Orleans, Louisiana.

793
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:36,000
Gomez, textured runner, the potential tying run for Cleveland at first in Dave Philly.

794
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,000
And who is the picker in the plate?

795
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:41,000
Strickland takes it over first strike.

796
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,000
No balls, one strike to count on George Strickland.

797
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:49,000
One out, one on here in the last half of the second inning.

798
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,000
These Cleveland Indians are grim and determined this afternoon.

799
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,000
This is a game they've got to win.

800
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,000
Third ball to Strickland is under the knees.

801
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:00,000
Counted one ball and one strike.

802
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,000
Gomez bouncing that ball around in his mitts.

803
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,000
Steps up, puts his foot on the rubber.

804
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:10,000
Looks around the infield and outfield and then peers down until he's battered George Strickland.

805
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,000
Dave Philly takes his lead at first base, whitey Loughman inside on the corner.

806
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,000
The pitch is hung on by Strickland in the mitts.

807
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:20,000
Gomez came in with a sidearm medium speed pitch.

808
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:25,000
He throws a lot of his stuff three-quarter overhand with some of it sidearm.

809
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:29,000
Very rarely does he go completely overhand with his pitch.

810
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,000
One ball and two strikes.

811
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,000
One little bit surprised that Gomez Daddy might be listening in this afternoon.

812
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,000
There's an overhand pitch outside.

813
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,000
Three-quarter overhand.

814
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:46,000
Ruben Gomez Daddy is the pitcher on his hand down in Puerto Rico.

815
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:54,000
Two balls, two strikes is the count here on George Strickland, the wearer of number two.

816
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,000
Two and two.

817
00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:02,000
Dave Philly ready to run on anything, takes his plate at first base and drives off a couple of steps.

818
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,000
Gomez, two-twos the plate, curve ball, swung on and found it right back to the mound.

819
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Gomez is high off the mound, takes the ball close to David Williams.

820
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:12,000
For the outfield, the first base is not in time.

821
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:15,000
Gomez came off that mound like a small kitten.

822
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,000
Bounced high on that ball, made the throw back to second base to David Williams.

823
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:25,000
He was taken out of that play very nicely by David Williams, but he got it by Dave Philly, but he got his throw off anyway.

824
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:31,000
Jim Hagan, the batsman.

825
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,000
Two down for Cleveland in the second.

826
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:39,000
George Strickland, the runner at first base, and Jim Hagan batting at 125.

827
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:40,000
It's coming up to the plate.

828
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,000
Jim has had one base hit, a double.

829
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,000
He hit into left center field.

830
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,000
That was in the second inning of yesterday's ball game.

831
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:53,000
He was sacrificed down to third, but died there in that second inning.

832
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:58,000
Jim Hagan, right-hand batter.

833
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,000
Massachusetts four leaning over the plate.

834
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:04,000
Takes Gomez fastball outside to ball one.

835
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:12,000
Those fast pickers with his gray overcast here today are going to look even faster.

836
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:15,000
George Strickland takes the lead now at first, two down here in the second.

837
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,000
Pitch to Hagan is a low curve ball under the knees.

838
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,000
That's ball two.

839
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,000
Jim Hagan has struck out just one time in the series.

840
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:28,000
He's cut for Cleveland all through the series with the exception of the time he was lifted

841
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:29,000
and mixed with Gretzky.

842
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:33,000
And the first game came on to catch an inning.

843
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,000
Two balls, no strikes on Hagan, right-hand batter.

844
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:40,000
Side on pure ball, Hagan goes a little bit too far around trying to check himself.

845
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:45,000
This ball, again, seems to strike one.

846
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:48,000
Cleveland has come up with a pitching here in this World Series,

847
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:53,000
but the highly-fonded bats of the Cleveland Indians have been, in a way, rather silent.

848
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:59,000
So that might be the answer to the edge the Giants now have.

849
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,000
Gomez ready with the 2-1 delivery to Hagan.

850
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:06,000
Weaver's a little up there, and Hagan swings on it, sends a bounding ball down to third base line foul.

851
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:09,000
Two balls and two strikes to count on Jim Hagan.

852
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:15,000
Two outs, one on, last half of the second inning, score one to nothing in favor of the New York Giants.

853
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:21,000
It was figured by most of the experts that Cleveland had a pretty good opportunity to win this ballgame this afternoon,

854
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,000
going with Mike Garcia, a pretty good fast baller,

855
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,000
and they still have a lot of time to win this ballgame.

856
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:29,000
We're just in the last half of the second inning.

857
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:33,000
Two downs for Cleveland, one on, the tying run at first.

858
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:39,000
Gomez, pretty tough right-hander in his own right, delivers.

859
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:45,000
The quarter overhand pitch is outside and low, three and two.

860
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:46,000
Three balls, two strikes.

861
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:57,000
Now George Strickland will be off and moving toward second base when Gomez fires away to Hagan.

862
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,000
Strickland about to step off and take his lead.

863
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:03,000
Gomez goes to the top of the stretch, hesitates, and quickly throws over to first.

864
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:09,000
That is, his motion was quick, but his toss was easy because Strickland hadn't wandered away too far.

865
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:12,000
Count remains three and two on Hagan as he digs in his plate.

866
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:13,000
Now Gomez, that delivers.

867
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:17,000
There goes the run of the pitcher, swung run and fouled back to the screen off to our right.

868
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:21,000
Throws right up into the television booth off to our right.

869
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:32,000
There's a good friend, Jack Brickhouse, and that's Hodges working.

870
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:36,000
Count remains three and two on Jim Hagan.

871
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:40,000
Gomez starts to get ready.

872
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:41,000
Checks George Strickland.

873
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:42,000
Down comes Fitzhawker Strickland.

874
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,000
The ball is swung on, hit down to third.

875
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:50,000
Deep behind third Thompson comes up with a throw, sends it to the third at first, but Whitey Loughman comes up with it and Hagan is out.

876
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,000
Throwed up to Towson's side.

877
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:55,000
Loughman taking out Thompson's low throw at first base.

878
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:58,000
And here in the second inning, again, the Cleveland Indians have a tying run on.

879
00:57:58,000 --> 00:57:59,000
Cannot capitalize.

880
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,000
No runs, there were no base hits.

881
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,000
There were no errors and one man was left on.

882
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:11,000
Well, right here at the end of two full innings of play, it's New York 1 and Cleveland nothing.

883
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:20,000
And a ball game that promises to give us just as many throws as we have had in the first two that were played over at the Polo Grounds in New York City.

884
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:25,000
And while Mike Garcia comes out there, he's got to get ready for any number three.

885
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:32,000
I'd like to switch over here to my sidekick, Jimmy Dudley, and see what his comments in the first two innings might possibly be.

886
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,000
Jimmy, how about that? What do you think?

887
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:38,000
Well, Al, I'm getting a great deal of pleasure out of watching this Rielgen Gomez work.

888
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,000
This is the first time that we've actually seen him in tough competition.

889
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:45,000
And I'm telling you, that screwball that he has really has the boys up there baffled.

890
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:50,000
They don't know exactly what they're swinging for and so far he's been master of the situation.

891
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:55,000
But the game has started moving along just like the first two.

892
00:58:55,000 --> 00:59:03,000
The Giants broke on tap and it's one of those days when you sort of figure that the Indians must have the breaks coming somewhere along the line.

893
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:10,000
Well, all right, Jim, and we can expect this afternoon, as it wears on, to see both of these fellows, Gomez and Garcia,

894
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:14,000
firing that fastball right up until the last minute.

895
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:23,000
One thing we can caution you to watch before as far as Gomez is concerned, as the afternoon goes on, he'll come in more and more spite on with these pitches.

896
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:28,000
Mike Garcia, of course, the biggest benefit of fastball pitching is the overhand variety.

897
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:31,000
And now let's see what he's going to do here with the Giants in the top half of the third inning.

898
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,000
He's behind one to nothing as the Giants lead the back margin.

899
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,000
Alvin Dark is the back one who struck out the first inning.

900
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:40,000
They'll be followed by Don Mullen and by Willie Mays.

901
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:45,000
Mike Garcia, big right-hander, delivers an overhand fastball. Dark swings it out into left center field.

902
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,000
That's going to be in there for the base hit.

903
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:51,000
Coming over is Doby to pick it up on the first skip and fire it into George Strickland.

904
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,000
So Dark opens with a single into left center.

905
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:58,000
That'll give him his first hit this afternoon, giving him his fourth World Series hit.

906
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:03,000
And that's at number three of Garcia.

907
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:08,000
So Alvin Dark's first, Don Mullen, who forced out Wadie Lachman at second,

908
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:14,000
and he himself went on to second when George Strickland committed the only Cleveland error in the series by throwing the wild at first base.

909
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,000
Down comes the pitcher to win a break.

910
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:19,000
Pitcher's one-one and hits through the hole between short and third, not into left field.

911
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:25,000
There goes Alvin Dark all the way around the third.

912
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:29,000
Don Mueller hitting through the left side of the infield, into left for a single.

913
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:33,000
Throw-binding ball that died about halfway out into left field, and the trans-switch got it.

914
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:37,000
He was able to make the throw in. Alvin Dark's running on the blow as he moved all the way into third base.

915
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:41,000
So now Garcia is in trouble again. That's the fourth hit given up by Mike.

916
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:47,000
That's the third hit Mueller has picked up in the series, going to battle 11 times.

917
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:52,000
Willie Mays has one base hit for one time up today, and he sees Sammy in.

918
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,000
Runs the first and third.

919
01:00:54,000 --> 01:01:00,000
Majeski playing just off-court, works on the inside corner on Mueller at first, and the second base combination playing a double play depth.

920
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,000
Pitcher's swing on by Mays. There's the drive down to third to Majeski.

921
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:07,000
He's got the ball, fires it into Higgins. That's got Alvin Dark and Horsey between home and third.

922
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:12,000
There is Higgins, packing him up.

923
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:16,000
And while the Horsey was going on for the tag out, the runners moved on down to second and third.

924
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:23,000
So Mueller has moved in to third base on the field of choice.

925
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:27,000
Willie Mays gets all the way down to second.

926
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:34,000
And the play went from Majeski, third baseman, to Higgins.

927
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,000
Back to Majeski and back to Higgins.

928
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,000
Finally made the tag on Alvin Dark.

929
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:42,000
So we have one out here in the top of the third inning, runners in second and third.

930
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:48,000
And the batter coming up now is Thompson.

931
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,000
Alvin Dark caught in the run down.

932
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:51,000
Hank Majeski's first opportunity.

933
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:58,000
The infield pulls up tight now and Hank Thompson on there is going to be, the play is going to be put on intentionally.

934
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,000
They're not going to monkey around with him at all.

935
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:08,000
They're going to put him on and set it up for a possible chance for a double play.

936
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:12,000
Oh, there is ball three. Now ball four.

937
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:17,000
So Thompson is intentionally locked. That will be the third base on balls given up by Garcia.

938
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:23,000
And out there at second base, now Barlich, you know fans of second base umpire are standing in third territory.

939
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:30,000
And that raises the question, if a batter's ball strikes him before reaching a fielder, is the hitter safer out?

940
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:33,000
Well, you'll find the answer in the Gillette World Series record book.

941
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:37,000
You get a copy free just by the new one-piece Gillette razor at the regular price.

942
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,940
Happy

943
01:02:39,940 --> 01:02:47,000
World Series.

944
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:51,000
Well, fans, here's the guy that's been giving the Sweden ending fits.

945
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,000
Dusty Rose with hammer two home run.

946
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,000
In world series play for the New York Giants.

947
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,000
He's fighting for money open with the bases loaded.

948
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,000
One out here in the top half of third inning.

949
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,000
Dusty Rose, R-H-O-D-E-S.

950
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:06,000
He'll probably stay in the ball game to play in the field.

951
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:09,000
First field, delivers for him. Rose swings and it's a base hit for right field.

952
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,000
In comes John Mueller to score the second run right behind him.

953
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,000
Some strikes with Willie May. Thompson moves over the first.

954
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,000
Well, now two more runs batted in.

955
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:21,000
Dusty Rose batting here in the third inning.

956
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:24,000
Check up on this guy, Rose. He's still batting a thousand.

957
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:28,000
That gives him four hits for four at bat.

958
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,000
He has now batted in seven runs.

959
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:33,000
Batted in seven runs for the New York Giants.

960
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,000
Gets through here this afternoon.

961
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:40,000
Hit number five runs two and three up to our stand.

962
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:46,000
And he now ties Dr. Bobby Brown, who held the record as a pink batter in world series.

963
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:50,000
In three hits, now Dusty Rose has three pink hits in world series.

964
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:58,000
Up to the plate is J.B. Williams taking the first pitch over for a called strike.

965
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,000
Rose is in the right field.

966
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:04,000
Moving Johnson around the third and scoring a pair.

967
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:08,000
Draw three nothing and play for the Giants over Cleveland.

968
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:11,000
That's their deliver. J.B. Williams snaps his head back and takes a fastball.

969
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:15,000
It's a ten-point football run.

970
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:19,000
And so what was it they said this morning about Dusty Rose?

971
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,000
Given an inch, it'll take a mile.

972
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:26,000
Boy, he's taking a mile against Cleveland this year.

973
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:28,000
Cardfield ready. It delivers an overhand fastball.

974
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,000
The winner breaking from third, squeeze is on, and the run scores.

975
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,000
There is a throw to first base. It's not in time.

976
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,000
Not in time to fix the work.

977
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:45,000
So the Giants squeeze in their fourth run.

978
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,000
It's now four to nothing.

979
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:50,000
And the official scores are talking over the situation now,

980
01:04:50,000 --> 01:05:10,000
so whether it's going to be a base hit or not, we'll know in a moment.

981
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:14,000
Mike, Jocelyn is going to be charged with an error for holding that ball too long.

982
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:21,000
So it's going to be a sacrifice for Williams and an error on Jocelyn.

983
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:28,000
But the run has been squeezed in.

984
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:34,000
Up at the plate is Lutgren.

985
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:39,000
Hit time is over first strike.

986
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:46,000
Dusty's next delivery, evens the count of one and one.

987
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:51,000
Rhodes on that squeeze play, sacrifice, which was the squeeze play.

988
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:55,000
Move to second to hit to question, blow off the ball too.

989
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,000
Two balls and one strike.

990
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:00,000
So the Giants are sort of broken out in a rash here in the third inning,

991
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:10,000
taking up three runs to go out in front four to nothing.

992
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:17,000
Garcia, Texas runners, bears back, delivers to Westrom, who hits the ball back to the mound.

993
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:21,000
Garcia has it close, first base to work for the Albers.

994
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:26,000
The runners advance.

995
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:29,000
Williams moves down to second.

996
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:32,000
Dusty Rhodes, who batted here in the third inning for Marty Irvin,

997
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:41,000
singled in a pair of runs, has now moved down on the injured out third base.

998
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:42,000
Two outs, two on.

999
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:45,000
The Giants have runners in scoring position, second and third.

1000
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:48,000
About a coming up is Ruben Gomez.

1001
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:51,000
Probably sees a great deal better about the situation.

1002
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:54,000
Down the bullpen for Cleveland, Art Houtemann.

1003
01:06:54,000 --> 01:07:00,000
He's throwing again.

1004
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:04,000
Garcia wheels the pitching there, and Gomez swings on it and doesn't get it.

1005
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:08,000
Last minute he tried to check himself, but he'd gone too far.

1006
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:16,000
Rhodes, who batted for Irvin, is on at third base.

1007
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,000
Williams, the second base runner, first is open.

1008
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,000
Garcia delivers a let-up curve.

1009
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:26,000
Taken. Let-up curve, peak of the cap, runs his count to one and one.

1010
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,000
He's looking through the record book here.

1011
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:34,000
Garreg has nine runs batted in, going through the let-world series record book,

1012
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:39,000
to lead in single series.

1013
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,000
Rhodes now has seven.

1014
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:46,000
Lomax swings on the next 15 spousers down the first base line, way back into the crowd.

1015
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:53,000
So all those guys Rhodes, the third base, has to do to tie Garreg's record in the way of French batted in the single series and pick up a pair now.

1016
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,000
He's got maybe the rest of today.

1017
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:59,000
It all depends on what the Roaches are going to do where they're going to allow Rhodes to stay in left or not.

1018
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,000
He's got the day in tomorrow to do it, for sure.

1019
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:07,000
And if Cleveland should come back and win this one, it'll go more than that.

1020
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:11,000
The pitch to Blake is on managements over for Carl Stike three.

1021
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:17,000
Well, that's all. Eight men come to bat here for New York for the third inning.

1022
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:20,000
Lomax gets his third, or, uh, Cursi gets his third strike.

1023
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,000
I'd roam as the victim.

1024
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:31,000
And in the third inning, three big runs for the New York Giants, picked up on one, two, three base hit.

1025
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:34,000
There was one error and there were two men left on.

1026
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,000
So all that's far here, at the end of two and a half innings of play,

1027
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:44,000
the New York Giants four and the Cleveland Indians nothing.

1028
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:50,000
Well, Alvin Dark certainly has been sparking the spotlight as far as the Giants are concerned on the end of defense.

1029
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:55,000
And Alvin not only goes all out in baseball, but Alvin Dark goes all out on what a clean,

1030
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:58,000
good, relaxed save does for a fellow winning the sport.

1031
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:03,000
Alvin, and by the way, a quick look for Lou Boudreau, Bob Teller and Charlie Grimm.

1032
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:09,000
And by the way, a quick clean save with today's Gillette Super Speed Racer is a real break.

1033
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,000
How about doing a real big thing for yourself?

1034
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:16,000
Get a Gillette Super Speed Racer and discover how much of a less smooth, refreshing save can give you.

1035
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:19,000
The Super Speed is precision made all in one piece.

1036
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,000
There's nothing to take apart.

1037
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:24,000
You clean slaves or rinse it clean in sections.

1038
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,000
Buy a Gillette Super Speed Racer set, one dollar.

1039
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:38,000
Attach three is a pocket size 112 page Gillette World Series record book.

1040
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:42,000
As we had expected, Jesse Rhodes goes into left field now for the New York Giants,

1041
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,000
playing left and left after third.

1042
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,000
And Bob Lemon comes up to bat for Mike Garcia.

1043
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,000
Bob Lemon the pitcher hits him left handed.

1044
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:53,000
Romare feeds him the fastball and is taken over to an eight-foot called strike.

1045
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:57,000
So Garcia is all through here after having hit three and easy with the four runs, five hits,

1046
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:01,000
walked three, struck out three and wild-pitched one time.

1047
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:06,000
The pitch to play taken by Lemon is strike two called.

1048
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:10,000
Time is called for the second while Weston goes out, talks to Romare.

1049
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:15,000
Actually just forgotten to turn the plate and yelled something up to him.

1050
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:22,000
Bob Lemon, who we told you on several occasions, has been used as a pinch batter although he is a pitcher.

1051
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,000
He brings in his pitch to miss and strikes three.

1052
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:29,000
So that's all for Bob Lemon as he goes down pinch batting for Garcia here in the third inning.

1053
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:32,000
And before we have just the drop of the batting order coming up for Cleveland,

1054
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:35,000
let's watch ten seconds of station identification.

1055
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:38,000
This is Newsable, the radio network for all America.

1056
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:49,000
WGM, the Chicago Tribune station, your explosive World Series station.

1057
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:52,000
Ruben Gomez ready now to deliver to Smith.

1058
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:55,000
The first pitch to him is crushed by a low and out strike of ball one.

1059
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,000
One out to Cleveland, last half of the third.

1060
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,000
The score is 4-0 in favor of the Giants.

1061
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:02,000
They scored one in the first inning, three in the big third,

1062
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:04,000
which they sent eight men to the plate.

1063
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:09,000
Gomez delivers, pitch is swung on and hits right back on the line to the pitcher.

1064
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:13,000
Gomez holds his four out number two.

1065
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:18,000
Two down, last half of the third as the Giants continue to handcuff the Cleveland Indians.

1066
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:22,000
Bobby Avila, who sacrificed successfully in the first inning,

1067
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:25,000
coming up now for his first official out bat of the afternoon.

1068
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:29,000
Gomez, who has been old man tough here this afternoon,

1069
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:34,000
he's been ice water personified, is ready to pitch to Bobby Avila.

1070
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:41,000
Down comes that first pitch and Avila takes the trooper across the corner

1071
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:44,000
on the outside at about week half, strike one.

1072
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:50,000
Mike García, in going three innings here this afternoon against the Giants,

1073
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:53,000
used exactly 61 pitches.

1074
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:57,000
Gomez uses one up on a curve ball inside to Avila,

1075
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:00,000
counted one ball, one strike on him.

1076
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,000
Avila wearing number one.

1077
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:06,000
Bought enough in the score in favor of the Giants.

1078
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:10,000
Gomez ready, delivers one run aside on fastball at Mrs. Lowen outside,

1079
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:22,000
and the curve count moves off to two and one.

1080
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:26,000
Avila back into taking stands.

1081
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:27,000
Gomez set.

1082
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:28,000
Rubens fires away.

1083
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:29,000
There's a sidearm fastball.

1084
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:30,000
It's over.

1085
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:34,000
First strike and that's the second one.

1086
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:37,000
That's a pretty rough pitch to look at.

1087
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:40,000
Gomez throws it pretty well.

1088
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:44,000
When he's right, Gomez is right, he's pretty tough.

1089
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:49,000
Artur's seeing some after here too and gets clobbered on occasion.

1090
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:51,000
I guess that happens to any pitchers.

1091
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:53,000
Small is great.

1092
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:57,000
Avila after the next pitch, bounds one down before baseline foul.

1093
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:01,000
Two balls and two strikes.

1094
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:03,000
Last half of inning number three.

1095
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:06,000
Two outs, nobody on for prison.

1096
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:12,000
Let's let two men on and let's go on one in the first inning by virtue of a watch and one in the second.

1097
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:14,000
He got on as a walk.

1098
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:17,000
Gomez delivers fastball, swung on and hit down a third.

1099
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:22,000
Thompson waits for it, picks up now her as he throws a first and Avila is out by one strike.

1100
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:26,000
So Avila grounds out from third to first, Thompson to Lockman to retire the side,

1101
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,000
and to Cleveland in the third inning, nothing across.

1102
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:31,000
No runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left on.

1103
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:36,000
At the end of the third inning, the score is New York 4 and Cleveland nothing.

1104
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:06,000
Inconvenient dispenses with used-blades compartment.

1105
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:13,000
Gillette Blue Blades are $20.00 to $4.98, $10.00 for $49.00.

1106
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:17,000
Now the business of inning number four here at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland

1107
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:20,000
for the New York Giants fair leadoff man, Whitey Lockman.

1108
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:25,000
He'll be followed by number two hitter, Al Van Dork, and then by Don Mueller.

1109
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:31,000
Mueller, Mueller, Al Cleveland.

1110
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:40,000
Whitey Lockman comes up and the new pitcher for the Cleveland Indians will be Art Hulteman.

1111
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:44,000
Art Hulteman relieving for Cleveland.

1112
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:50,000
Right up to the first pitch by Art Hulteman to Whitey Lockman.

1113
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:54,000
Art pumps twice, first, calls an overhand curve.

1114
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:58,000
Let up a parade and it's inside, it's ball one.

1115
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:03,000
Art Hulteman picking up for the Cleveland Indians.

1116
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:08,000
One fellow born in Detroit, Michigan, now lives in Birmingham, Michigan.

1117
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:12,000
Goes to fastball and misses with that, that's ball two.

1118
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:17,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1119
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:28,000
Art pumps twice, twists, throws an overhand fastball and lays it through there.

1120
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:34,000
Whitey Lockman for a strike, down to two and one.

1121
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:39,000
Art takes the time again from Higgins.

1122
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:45,000
Bears down on the next pitch and swung on as the bonding ball hit the shortstop.

1123
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:50,000
Hulteman has it, off to his right, up to the first base and Whitey Lockman's up.

1124
01:15:50,000 --> 01:16:00,000
About an hour for Alvin Darks.

1125
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:12,000
Art Hulteman gets ready to face him now.

1126
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:16,000
Art took year 115 and lost seven in the pairing 32 games.

1127
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:21,000
Art can get it over to Nees for a strike.

1128
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:25,000
Dark stands in late.

1129
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:29,000
Hulteman comes in with a big curve ball, drives dark back in the plate,

1130
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:30,000
lifting off the short hit.

1131
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:36,000
One ball, one strike down on the giant captain.

1132
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:40,000
About this afternoon has one to two, he's struck out the first inning.

1133
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:43,000
Hit a single, but left center field.

1134
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:49,000
He's struck out the third, the third in which the giant scored three times.

1135
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:52,000
Fastball to Darks, swung on as they fly ball to right field.

1136
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:59,000
Getting under the sputty on the routine chance and takes it to round number two.

1137
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:08,000
Two down, nobody on top of the fourth of the giant.

1138
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:11,000
And with the bases empty, Don Mueller comes up.

1139
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:18,000
He's not going to do any damage this time as far as driving men from first to third on the single to left.

1140
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:21,000
That's going to be a fastball inside off the knees.

1141
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:26,000
Don just sort of jackknifed back in place, keeping it in here.

1142
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:27,000
One ball, no strikes.

1143
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:29,000
Don choking up on the wood.

1144
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:36,000
Hulteman with that jangly pumping motion here delivers and the pitch is outside.

1145
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:40,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1146
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:42,000
Four to nothing in favor of the giants.

1147
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,000
They scored one in the first, three in the third.

1148
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:49,000
It will be four-nothing as we move along in the top of the fourth.

1149
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,000
Hulteman delivers two-nothing.

1150
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:56,000
Mueller swings and gets just enough of the pippet ball.

1151
01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:01,000
Two and one.

1152
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:05,000
Now little patches of blue try to peek through the overjazz.

1153
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:07,000
We might get by without rain here this afternoon.

1154
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:13,000
No big hand fastball, punched by Don Mueller out by second base and a half-up by Bobby Avila coming on under it.

1155
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:14,000
He's got it.

1156
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:19,000
Well, that's all here for the Giants.

1157
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:25,000
And toward the top, they're pleased with the fact that the Giants go down a one-two-three order for the first time this afternoon.

1158
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:27,000
Nothing to throw.

1159
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:34,000
And the score at the end of three and one-half an inch of play remains New York 4 and Cleveland nothing.

1160
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:42,000
If you're traveling 21 or have just passed that point, grab your time a moment, William, while I have a word about shaving with the younger guys.

1161
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:44,000
What I want to get across is this.

1162
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:53,000
Far and away, the great majority of men start with Gillette and rely on the Gillette razor to make the job of shaving as thick, easy, and comfortable as can be.

1163
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:56,000
And the reason is as simple as all this.

1164
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:02,000
Day in and day out, only Gillette can give them shaves that feel so good and look so good or last so long.

1165
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:06,000
You'll go along with this at the best when you try the Gillette Super Speed Racer.

1166
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:12,000
It's available at only $1 complete with Blue Blade Dispenser and handy traveling cape.

1167
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:19,000
And remember, you get the World Series record book with it free.

1168
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:21,000
End of the last half of the fourth inning here.

1169
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:25,000
It's Larry Dobie shows up to the plate for shaving the face of Ruben Gomez.

1170
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:32,000
Ruben, like early win yesterday, has been just about as tough as anyone could imagine the pitcher to be.

1171
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:36,000
If you recall, it was early win, pitching for Cleveland yesterday,

1172
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:44,000
and he's promoted the Giants down with surprising rapidity until he ran into a pitfall in the fifth inning.

1173
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:49,000
And let's see what's going to happen with Gomez as he steps into the fourth inning to pitch for Larry Dobie,

1174
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:53,000
Dobie who has gone over one with a fly ball to center field.

1175
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:55,000
Gomez throws him the fast ball and Dobie takes it high.

1176
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:58,000
That's ball one.

1177
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:05,000
That's a ball game can turn right around and it's winking of an eye.

1178
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:08,000
Gomez cuts, delivers, Dobie swings on the slow curve and doesn't get it.

1179
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:10,000
That's like one.

1180
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:12,000
One ball and one strike.

1181
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:22,000
Gomez had him completely fooled on the true ball.

1182
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:23,000
Now the one-one pitch.

1183
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:24,000
There's the fast ball.

1184
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:25,000
It's one-one by Dobie.

1185
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:28,000
Reach out and let's see if that's going to drop in there for the first base hit off, Gomez.

1186
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:31,000
Dobie is on.

1187
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:34,000
Dobie comes in, fires that ball back in.

1188
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:39,000
Dobie opens the fourth with a single, a left field.

1189
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:46,000
Make the work catch a round of applause.

1190
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,000
The first base hit comes off Gomez here in the fourth.

1191
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:53,000
First base hit off early wind came yesterday by the Giants in the fifth inning.

1192
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:57,000
So it may be that the call has gone out just one inning early.

1193
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:00,000
Well on the minutes, four to nothing ball game in favor of New York.

1194
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:01,000
Cleveland trying to battle their way back.

1195
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:06,000
They know this has got to be the game.

1196
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:10,000
Make the work for the batter.

1197
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:17,000
Woods came up in the first inning and retired the side by hitting a tough line drive to Shrutched up to Alvin Darks.

1198
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:19,000
Gomez, Texas runner at first delivers the play.

1199
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:27,000
Woods takes the screwball outside for ball one.

1200
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:29,000
Getting a printable lighter here at Cleveland.

1201
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:32,000
Hope it continues to do so.

1202
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:34,000
Run up and delivery.

1203
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:39,000
Third ball looks like another screwball and that's low on that side.

1204
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:47,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1205
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:50,000
That's the other playing just about straight away for Woods and their flaming beat.

1206
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:56,000
Who wouldn't after he drove Willie Mays to a most surprising catch at the Polo grounds in the first game of the series.

1207
01:21:56,000 --> 01:22:05,000
Pick a hung on by Woods and this is a strike one.

1208
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:09,000
Two balls, one strike on Victor Wirtz, the wearer of number 23.

1209
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:13,000
Trying to drive the bat handle off now as he steps up to the plate.

1210
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:17,000
Laces the bat off on the rubber of home plate.

1211
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:20,000
Takes the preliminary swing, puts the bat up on his shoulder.

1212
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,000
Gomez steps around and delivers to him.

1213
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:24,000
High inside curve ball.

1214
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:26,000
That's ball three.

1215
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:28,000
Third one to count on Victor Wirtz.

1216
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:32,000
Four to nothing to count in the ball game in favor of the Giants.

1217
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:37,000
They walked right out and got one in the first inning and added three more in the third to lead four to nothing.

1218
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:40,000
Cleveland getting their first hit here in the fourth inning.

1219
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:41,000
Hicks the plate to Wirtz is over.

1220
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:46,000
Fast ball at the knees, just like he falls.

1221
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:50,000
Three balls, two strikes from Victor Wirtz.

1222
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,000
The runner at first base is Larry Doby.

1223
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:56,000
He hit a handle, whooped around in blood field.

1224
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:58,000
He's on.

1225
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:00,000
Wasn't a solidly hit ball.

1226
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:02,000
Sort of loops out there.

1227
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:03,000
Down comes the pitch three-two.

1228
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:04,000
Swing on, there's a bounding ball.

1229
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:05,000
Hicks down to Baby Williams.

1230
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:06,000
He goes back to dark.

1231
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:09,000
The one out at second to throw the first not in time.

1232
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:15,000
So Doby is erased on the fourth out at second base from second base from Williams to stretch up Alvin Duff.

1233
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:18,000
Victor Wirtz outlegged the throw to first base.

1234
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:22,000
He's on at first with one down here in the last half before the fourth inning.

1235
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,000
About a reponse for Guckey.

1236
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:24,000
He's gone over one today.

1237
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:26,000
He's over two in the series.

1238
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:30,000
Guckey didn't get a chance to swing one time.

1239
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,000
First time he came up to the plate.

1240
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:44,000
He used Derrick's immediately for a pinch better.

1241
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:45,000
One out, one on.

1242
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:48,000
Last half of the course.

1243
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:49,000
Thanks for Guckey.

1244
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:51,000
Wearing number five, steps up to the plate.

1245
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:52,000
Right hand hitter.

1246
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:54,000
Guckey seems pretty much together.

1247
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:57,000
He's going to pitch over for strike one call.

1248
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:03,000
Ruben Gomez turned that three-quarter flat-on fastball.

1249
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:04,000
A tail around the left and deep.

1250
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:07,000
Guckey will hit that long one for you.

1251
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:10,000
He's got a lot of power in those wrists and forearms of his.

1252
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:12,000
Stuck a little color.

1253
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:13,000
Gomez third ball.

1254
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:16,000
It's hung and fouled on the third baseline.

1255
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:20,000
Out of all two strikes, Jockel Cronin, left-handed umpire, steps out behind Guckey.

1256
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:26,000
Guckey hits that ball back to the mound, a new one back to the mound to Gomez.

1257
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:30,000
That's some combination of left-handed Irishman.

1258
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:33,000
Now the open pitch here on Hank Budjeski.

1259
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:34,000
Gomez eyes his runner.

1260
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:36,000
This works the first.

1261
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:38,000
Second and third open, one out.

1262
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:39,000
Down comes the pitch.

1263
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:44,000
Budjeski snaps his head back and takes a curve right off the corner of the chin for a ball one.

1264
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:54,000
One ball and two strikes.

1265
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:58,000
Gomez not in a bit of a hurry.

1266
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:05,000
Takes not much time, but Budjeski steps away from the plate to get a double handful of dirt to dry his hands.

1267
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:10,000
Squeezes the neck end of the bat and he's ready to step up there now.

1268
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:13,000
There he goes, moving into batting spot.

1269
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:15,000
Rick Wirtz steps off at first.

1270
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:17,000
Lachman's not holding him on.

1271
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:18,000
But way back to his depth.

1272
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:20,000
First swing on by Budjeski.

1273
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:21,000
There's a two-hopper hit to Doc.

1274
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:23,000
He's up with a go to Williams who won the first.

1275
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:27,000
There's the first double play in the World Series.

1276
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,000
Hank Budjeski wrapped into the first double play.

1277
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:36,000
In the 1974 World Series, it goes to Malvin Doc, to Davey Williams, to Widy Lachman.

1278
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:41,000
Wirtz fell on the front end of the double play to retire the side here in the last half.

1279
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:48,000
No running, no runs, one hit, no errors, and there was no one left on.

1280
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:56,000
So the score at the end of four innings of play now is New York 4 and Cleveland nothing.

1281
01:25:56,000 --> 01:26:01,000
Well, in these days of growing international tensions, national defense is everybody's business.

1282
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:05,000
And what is more important than a strong defense against atomic attack by air?

1283
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:08,000
The ground of global core in the United States and Canada

1284
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:13,000
and thousands of civilian volunteers who learn to spot and identify low-flying planes

1285
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:15,000
that cannot be picked up by radar.

1286
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:19,000
Your contribution will be only a few hours a week at an observation post

1287
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:21,000
or a silver center near your home.

1288
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:28,000
The silver wings of the DOC will show your neighbors that you are playing a key role in your country's defense.

1289
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:32,000
Write or call your local Civil Defense Center in Canada

1290
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:40,000
or write to the Air Defense Command, St. Louis, Quebec.

1291
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,000
Now for inning number five.

1292
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:44,000
Willie Mays, the leadoff for the Giants.

1293
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:46,000
He has one for two.

1294
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:50,000
Hit a single to Redfield in the first inning to get his first World Series base hit.

1295
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:54,000
And Tom Thompson followed by Dusty Rhodes, who again has been the difference in the ballgame.

1296
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,000
Art Huddleman delivers to Willie Mays.

1297
01:26:56,000 --> 01:27:00,000
He throws the crossfire across the Japanese first strike.

1298
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:05,000
Art Huddleman and release ball to Mike Garcia.

1299
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:09,000
So it means that we have an entire new Cleveland, we have a new Cleveland battering.

1300
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:13,000
The pitch to the plate for Willie Mays is over.

1301
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:14,000
What low for ball one?

1302
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:21,000
One ball and one strike.

1303
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,000
Huddleman pumps, kicks and throws one-one curve ball.

1304
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:29,000
Willie Mays swings on it and hits a high fly ball to the right side off the left field line.

1305
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:32,000
In a few minutes to go, the Cleveland has a new battery.

1306
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:36,000
That's right, when one man has changed the battery with you, and Art Huddleman is the pitcher now.

1307
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:38,000
That's going to be the name of the word battery.

1308
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:42,000
You know I've been using that term for years without knowing just how it began.

1309
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,000
For years without knowing just how it began.

1310
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:47,000
And now I know because the answer is right there in the select World Series book,

1311
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:50,000
along with the answers of other important baseball questions.

1312
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:54,000
Willie Mays after the next pitch with the high fly ball in the big left center field.

1313
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:55,000
There goes Larry Doeby back.

1314
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:56,000
He's still going back.

1315
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:58,000
He's under it and he makes the catch.

1316
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:02,000
Well, Willie Mays is out.

1317
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:05,000
Doeby taking care of that one.

1318
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:09,000
Doeby slides around out there in center field like Breeze Likens.

1319
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:11,000
Thompson is about an hour for New York.

1320
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:15,000
Hank Thompson is in left-handed.

1321
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:18,000
The Giants have four runs right now and five base hits.

1322
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:21,000
And that's our clear.

1323
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:24,000
They've committed no errors this afternoon.

1324
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:28,000
A slow curve there by Adam Minnis taken by left-handed batting Thompson.

1325
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:30,000
That's not a run.

1326
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:32,000
The Giants took their own established game.

1327
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:33,000
That's 10 to 5 men.

1328
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:36,000
They're under a total of 17 for the series.

1329
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:37,000
Adam Minnis is late.

1330
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:40,000
Thompson takes the curve and it's over.

1331
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:41,000
One ball, one strike.

1332
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:43,000
One out, out to the third.

1333
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:45,000
No base runners for the Giants.

1334
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:48,000
They're leading here by the score of four to nothing.

1335
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:49,000
Doeby has no runs.

1336
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:52,000
On one base hit they've committed a pair of errors.

1337
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:53,000
And that's 10 to 2 men.

1338
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:55,000
Thompson swings on the next pitch, loops it out into left center field.

1339
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:56,000
It's in there for the base hit.

1340
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:57,000
Doeby comes in quickly to pick up.

1341
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:59,000
There's no chance he's going to try for two.

1342
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:10,000
Doeby still comes hurriedly into second slide and Thompson's in there.

1343
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:15,000
Dora Thompson gets a double into left center field.

1344
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:17,000
That'll be hit number one off our Haldeman.

1345
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:19,000
Hit number six.

1346
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:29,000
That's the first extra base hit other than Dusty Rhodes with two home runs for the Giants.

1347
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:30,000
They're not going on here.

1348
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:32,000
Mr. Finney, Dusty Rhodes coming up there.

1349
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:33,000
Here's a real chem.

1350
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:37,000
So this time, Dusty, you're not going to talk it for us.

1351
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:41,000
Dusty Rhodes is bringing in intentional base on ball.

1352
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:47,000
That'll be the first walk by Haldeman, the fourth walk picked up by the Giants here this afternoon.

1353
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:50,000
They respect his bat.

1354
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:53,000
They might not worry too much about him out in the field, but when he comes up there swinging at numbers,

1355
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:57,000
he's an all-time swagger and they say, uh-uh.

1356
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:59,000
So he steps out to first base now.

1357
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:04,000
I'm with one of the runners at second and first.

1358
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:06,000
The batter is David Williams.

1359
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:12,000
David, who sacrificed successfully in the third inning, and I was charged to go here.

1360
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:18,000
He very successfully sacrificed. Please know, I mean, the success of his sacrifice was it was a screen time,

1361
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:20,000
got the run in.

1362
01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:22,000
Now they're ready for Haldeman's delivery.

1363
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:25,000
Pass ball, half a fifth on the inside corner today.

1364
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:28,000
The winnings for Carl Schacht.

1365
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:31,000
Haldeman's setting up the base of the hand, inspects those runners.

1366
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:32,000
Overhand pass ball.

1367
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:35,000
From down his reach, he tries to get a kick and gets it out close to the available one.

1368
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:36,000
He's going over to first base.

1369
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:37,000
There's the count in time.

1370
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:44,000
He comes up for the nice save. A clear into the first.

1371
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:45,000
There they get one.

1372
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:48,000
Williams is the runner at third.

1373
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:51,000
Rhodes with the race going into second base.

1374
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:53,000
And slips them to at the rim.

1375
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:55,000
They take a step back to the second base and covering.

1376
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:57,000
And on fourth our Thompson's.

1377
01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:59,000
He's right over to take second and third.

1378
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:01,000
The other drives have runners at first and third now.

1379
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:03,000
Second is open, two down.

1380
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:05,000
The batter is West Wetland.

1381
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:08,000
The automatic ball game in favor of the New York Giants.

1382
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:11,000
We move along here at the municipal statement in Cleveland.

1383
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:12,000
Very gently they're on third.

1384
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:14,000
The Giants have won two.

1385
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:18,000
They've been trying to win one here this afternoon.

1386
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:20,000
Haltz-Haldeman in the release of back to the end.

1387
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:25,000
He's ready to deliver the rest of the guys in West Lake City pick outside for ball one.

1388
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:28,000
What's in this afternoon is stuck out and passed back to the mound.

1389
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:30,000
He goes for two.

1390
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:33,000
He's not too comfortable with the ball in the first game of the series.

1391
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:37,000
Thompson whippers.

1392
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:40,000
Now the one and old beloved, Haldeman.

1393
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:43,000
He deals off his dreads, throws the pass ball and whips it in the left hip.

1394
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:44,000
Great hit.

1395
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:45,000
Then comes Thompson at the score.

1396
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:48,000
Williams goes to second to hold on.

1397
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:49,000
Got some singles in the left.

1398
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:53,000
Brought the hit ground ball through the hole between fourth and third.

1399
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,000
Williams now the base runner and second base.

1400
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:58,000
Thompson's down to the fourth and fifth Giants run.

1401
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:01,000
And his hit number two and run number one of Haldeman.

1402
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:03,000
Now a four.

1403
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:04,000
By now a five.

1404
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:05,000
Thompson up his back to the ground.

1405
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:09,000
He's taking up his seventh base hit.

1406
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:12,000
A lot of coming up to the plate now is Luton-Jomers.

1407
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:13,000
He's lined up for the field.

1408
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:14,000
The very good, the good in the middle.

1409
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:17,000
He's not getting a third and stuck out.

1410
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:18,000
There's Jomers.

1411
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:21,000
Thompson's up there now looking for his eighth base hit.

1412
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:22,000
He's got a hit.

1413
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:24,000
Haldeman on third.

1414
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:26,000
And Williams activity down the bullpen now.

1415
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:30,000
Cleveland-Wilson.

1416
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:33,000
He's got a second for him.

1417
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:35,000
Hart-Haldeman gets ready.

1418
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:36,000
The limits to go now.

1419
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:39,000
He's going to go down the bullpond on the third base run.

1420
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:40,000
Raynard-Escie.

1421
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:52,000
Ricky-Rick-Hander down on the bullpen for Cleveland.

1422
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:53,000
Hart-Haldeman on the mound.

1423
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:56,000
Ready to put the ball down there.

1424
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:57,000
Williams at second.

1425
01:32:57,000 --> 01:33:03,000
Williams on third.

1426
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:06,000
The first round of eight runs got it in for the Giants.

1427
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:09,000
That's five runs got it in for the Giants.

1428
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:11,000
That's 12 all told.

1429
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:14,000
Jomers and Batten-Levitt are in the Williams is on the second.

1430
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:15,000
Browns is looking for the Giants.

1431
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:19,000
Hart-Haldeman settled down to work on fast pass the ball.

1432
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:22,000
Out charge for the half of that one.

1433
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:32,000
Jomers half from Belmont-Straight.

1434
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:33,000
Jomers on the top of the stretch.

1435
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:34,000
Looks to Jomers.

1436
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:37,000
A little swim overhand pass ball and pours it right through with the knee.

1437
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:40,000
That's like two.

1438
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:51,000
Two balls, one strike.

1439
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:54,000
Williams ready to step off second.

1440
01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:55,000
That just made Jomers come on.

1441
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:57,000
There's a bounding ball hit down.

1442
01:33:57,000 --> 01:33:58,000
The first base run gets it all.

1443
01:33:58,000 --> 01:33:59,000
It's a touch of a line.

1444
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:04,000
Went to the first base ball and kicked out before it went to the back.

1445
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:08,000
That's what is known as a snake hopper.

1446
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:10,000
It's wiggling all over the place.

1447
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:11,000
There's Williams.

1448
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:12,000
He's running on that one half.

1449
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:15,000
He's moving all the way back to second.

1450
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:21,000
Williams got there second.

1451
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:23,000
Jomers on the top of the stretch.

1452
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:24,000
Down.

1453
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:26,000
One run is through the hooker.

1454
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:29,000
The ball's been up and he's over the ground.

1455
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:30,000
The runner's got 60 seconds.

1456
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:31,000
He's down.

1457
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:35,000
Jomers got the time attack of low and he's on the hard.

1458
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:36,000
Number 28, the pitch.

1459
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:39,000
They're made by Hart-Haldeman.

1460
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:45,000
One and two, three.

1461
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:46,000
So that's Jomers.

1462
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:47,000
Right side of the area.

1463
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:48,000
That's Hart.

1464
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:51,000
Right side again with the inning by Jomers.

1465
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:53,000
And that's the pitch from here for number four.

1466
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:55,000
The Giants are running through the fair for New York.

1467
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:57,000
For New York, they're sending one run.

1468
01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:59,000
And she bases it.

1469
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:00,000
There's no worries.

1470
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:02,000
And she makes the ball out of bounds.

1471
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:05,000
Seven men have been standing here now by the Giants.

1472
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:07,000
Going about a third of the time.

1473
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:11,000
And the second run, at the end, the four and one half and eight.

1474
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:15,000
The New York Giants five and the three and the Indians nothing.

1475
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:17,000
All at one stop.

1476
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:19,000
The difference is three, but you'd better hurry.

1477
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:26,000
It was a sellout last year and the new and large division was going even faster.

1478
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:30,000
They're now ready to step into the last half of the first inning and to complete the ball game.

1479
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:34,000
And that means that our good friend Jimmy Dudley takes over right here in his own stompin' ground.

1480
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:38,000
So Jimmy, we're ready to listen to you fellas.

1481
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:39,000
Thank you, Al.

1482
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:41,000
And here we go into the last half of the fifth inning.

1483
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:42,000
There's Dilley.

1484
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:48,000
The Indians right fielder leading off of the drive against Ruman Ruben Gomez with one wail of a pitch of that card.

1485
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:52,000
The first pitch is a strike with a fastball hitting the outside corner of the nine.

1486
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:55,000
Dilley the first time up in the second inning to a base on ball.

1487
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:59,000
The only hit given up by Gomez was a pop-flash from Yobaydobi.

1488
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:00,000
Next pitch is thrown on the ground.

1489
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:05,000
The ball is passed baby-winner, Bender White-Center for a base hit.

1490
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:08,000
Dilley coming through with the Indian second hit of the day.

1491
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:14,000
He's on first with nobody out and the batter is number two, George Strickland.

1492
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:18,000
Gomez has been a very solid pitcher.

1493
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:21,000
Just the second hit he has given up.

1494
01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:29,000
He has struck out only one man, walked through, but has been command in command of the situation throughout the entire game up to this point.

1495
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:34,000
Strickland the right hand got a step turn.

1496
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:37,000
Wings on the first pitch and hits the far ball into left field.

1497
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:38,000
Bestie Rhodes moves in.

1498
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:39,000
Remember this one now.

1499
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:41,000
He has it easily throughout number one.

1500
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:42,000
Strickland five-two.

1501
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:45,000
Bestie Rhodes in left field.

1502
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:46,000
One out.

1503
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:50,000
Runner on first and the batter is Jim Hugen, the Indian second.

1504
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:54,000
May now be a game start to work down on the Indian bullpen.

1505
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:58,000
There is a possibility that Huddleman may be listed for a pinter.

1506
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:00,000
The middle inning of the ballgame.

1507
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:08,000
An hour low pair would like to get something started with a game off to a solid five-to-nothing lead.

1508
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:09,000
Dilley takes the lead.

1509
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:14,000
First pitch to Hugen is a set call with a serve getting the outback runner.

1510
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:20,000
Gomez is not only fast, he has been very quick with all of his pitches.

1511
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:24,000
The serve ball, the free ball, and the fast ball.

1512
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:29,000
He won 17 ballgames during the regular season, losing nine.

1513
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:32,000
Next to Hugen swings and misses a bad pitch.

1514
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:36,000
Good stop by the catcher, wet, wet from.

1515
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:41,000
Going through the count on the batter.

1516
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:43,000
He outfields around to the left.

1517
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:45,000
Hugen is first time up in the second inning.

1518
01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:47,000
Grounded out to the third baseman, Hank Johnson.

1519
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:48,000
Boy, what an incident.

1520
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:51,000
He has played a lot of fine ball in this series.

1521
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:52,000
That's right.

1522
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:55,000
Next to Hugen swings and hits the fly ball out into left field.

1523
01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:58,000
Jones moving in fast, on to the track now, close to the foul line.

1524
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:01,000
He makes the catch, just in fair territory.

1525
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:04,000
And they're a few out.

1526
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:07,000
Hugen glides the road in left.

1527
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:14,000
And the picture of Art Huddeman is blue.

1528
01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:18,000
And we'll catch somebody coming out of there in just a moment.

1529
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:20,000
It's going to be Rudy Rigolato, number eight.

1530
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:32,000
Rudy Rigolato, utility infielder, coming in to bat for Huddeman.

1531
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:38,000
Rigolato is a right-hand batter.

1532
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:44,000
Roy who played one year of organized baseball before moving up to the playing club.

1533
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:50,000
Looks exceptionally good in playing games and was given an opportunity to play third base.

1534
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:56,000
And Al Rosen moves over to play first base for the Indians.

1535
01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:59,000
Now seven into the bat, it's about two out and the runner-on first.

1536
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:10,000
Cilley let off of the single, but he killed it first.

1537
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:13,000
Art Huddeman playing straight away.

1538
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:17,000
From his pick as a strike, the curve ball, knee-high.

1539
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:20,000
That curve has worked to perfection for him this afternoon.

1540
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:24,000
We have noted many of the Indian batters looking back to the young fire

1541
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:29,000
and great goodbyes on the call of the pitch which is in there, just about knee-high.

1542
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:34,000
The next pick, Rigolato fouls into the bridge, it's like two.

1543
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:38,000
Going to the count.

1544
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:41,000
The Giants, after winning the first two games in New York,

1545
01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:44,000
moving out in front of this one, five to nothing.

1546
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:47,000
We're at Cleveland's huge municipal stadium

1547
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:54,000
before approximately 70,000 people this afternoon.

1548
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:56,000
Right to the count.

1549
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:59,000
Batter and deck is out here.

1550
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:01,000
Cilley ready to travel, leads off the pitch,

1551
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:04,000
the point and the ground ball slowly hits to the left out of the infield.

1552
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:07,000
Thompson charges it up a bit, the photo first and Rigolato is out.

1553
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:12,000
Another fine play by Hinchom from the third base on a slow roller down the third base line.

1554
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:14,000
Three guys, man.

1555
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:18,000
And for the Indians in the fifth, no runs, one hit, one man left.

1556
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:25,000
At the end of five, the score is New York, five to nothing.

1557
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:31,000
Early win of the Indians who lost a real heartbreaker yesterday, giving up only four hits.

1558
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:36,000
It's as if when you're all in, there's nothing more breaking than a quick flick to let it go.

1559
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:39,000
It really makes you look good and feel good.

1560
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:41,000
And early's the boy to know.

1561
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:43,000
You do look better and feel better too.

1562
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:54,000
Try a refreshing shaving cream shave with today's one-teethed Gillette racer.

1563
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:58,000
Going into the first half of the sixth inning, we have a new pitcher coming on for the Indians.

1564
01:40:58,000 --> 01:41:00,000
Ray Noleste, young right hander.

1565
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:05,000
While we're waiting for him, he'll charge now ten seconds for patient identification.

1566
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:09,000
This is New Toulouse, a radio network for all America.

1567
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:12,000
Will he be able to?

1568
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:16,000
And now back at municipal stadium.

1569
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:20,000
Here in Cleveland, the Giants leading five to nothing.

1570
01:41:20,000 --> 01:41:24,000
The first half of the sixth inning, the new pitcher, Ray Noleste.

1571
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:28,000
We're leaving on Houghton and we're two innings of the ballgame.

1572
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:33,000
Gave up two hits, lost one, struck out one, and about one run.

1573
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:41,000
Four of the dad runs are charged to my daughter.

1574
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:50,000
Noleste is a member of our Lopez pitching staff in the release department.

1575
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:56,000
With one of the twin firemen, along with Ray Noleste, is John Martin.

1576
01:41:56,000 --> 01:42:00,000
And those two boys have done a whale of a job with him.

1577
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:06,000
The pitcher's record is three and three, but he's started only two ballgames.

1578
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:17,000
Without the regular season, he worked in 42 games and closer to the man's run average of 2.22.

1579
01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:20,000
First man to face him will be Wiley Loughman.

1580
01:42:20,000 --> 01:42:25,000
Outerman came in on the fourth inning, faced the job of the batting order.

1581
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:29,000
And now Ray Noleste, the third Indian pitcher.

1582
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:34,000
A giant lead, five to nothing. The first pitch to Loughman is four, one, two, high.

1583
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:37,000
Noleste is what the boys referred to as a hard nose.

1584
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:43,000
The lad who comes from there in release just wears back and really fires.

1585
01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:46,000
Next pitch is two high, another fastball taking off.

1586
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:50,000
High and outside, this time the count is false and no strikes.

1587
01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:56,000
Last year he played under Verdy Kovitz, then manager of the Indianapolis Indians and the American Association.

1588
01:42:56,000 --> 01:42:58,000
Moved up with the fan club this year.

1589
01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:00,000
The two and nothing pitchers are strike.

1590
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:04,000
Right over about an inch high, the count is two and one.

1591
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:08,000
Hank Magiacchi, the Indian third baseman, is Ray's ballgame.

1592
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:12,000
And on the edge of the infield bat, the outfield straight away.

1593
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:15,000
The two and pitchers high for ball three.

1594
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:18,000
Three and one the count.

1595
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:22,000
Loughman led off with a single in the first inning.

1596
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:24,000
The Giants went on the score run.

1597
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:29,000
Added three in the third and one in the fifth, the lead by a two and nothing.

1598
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:31,000
Here's the wind up in the three one pitch.

1599
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:34,000
A foul hit back into the stand, dropped to the right of the plate.

1600
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:41,000
Out of play and the count is ball three, strike two.

1601
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:44,000
It's a very happy, hot baseball bouncing around.

1602
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:56,000
It's a hot from the upper deck and down below.

1603
01:43:56,000 --> 01:43:57,000
There they pitch to pitch.

1604
01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:00,000
Here's ball four, outside.

1605
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:11,000
Loughman takes the base on balls.

1606
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:13,000
Loughman on first with a base on balls.

1607
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:38,400
He's the first man to show his future as a team Indian

1608
01:44:38,400 --> 01:44:45,400
captain of the New York Giants, one of the two players on this ball club.

1609
01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:47,400
This is a 15th World Series game.

1610
01:44:47,400 --> 01:44:49,400
Next man up is Don Neely.

1611
01:44:49,400 --> 01:44:52,400
He swings on the first pitch and tops it up to the left out of the infield.

1612
01:44:52,400 --> 01:44:57,400
Hank Majeski is under and he has it for the second out.

1613
01:44:57,400 --> 01:44:59,400
They're two gone.

1614
01:44:59,400 --> 01:45:04,400
And coming up there's Willie Maties, number 24.

1615
01:45:04,400 --> 01:45:07,400
The Giants in the field in batting camp in the National League.

1616
01:45:07,400 --> 01:45:12,400
Put out the regular season.

1617
01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:19,400
Neither batting champion has been able to do very much in this World Series up to date.

1618
01:45:19,400 --> 01:45:21,400
Two outs with the runner on second.

1619
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:22,400
Don has his first pitch.

1620
01:45:22,400 --> 01:45:23,400
May's playing to Mary's face.

1621
01:45:23,400 --> 01:45:24,400
Foul ball's going out into right field.

1622
01:45:24,400 --> 01:45:26,400
It's got a drop and that's a base hit.

1623
01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:28,400
And Loughman raising around third.

1624
01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:29,400
It's coming out of store.

1625
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:33,400
The throw in is cut off by Wirt holding May's at first base.

1626
01:45:33,400 --> 01:45:38,400
The May's come through with his second hit today.

1627
01:45:38,400 --> 01:45:45,400
And the Giants take a lead of six to nothing.

1628
01:45:45,400 --> 01:45:48,400
The next batter is Hank Thompson.

1629
01:45:48,400 --> 01:45:52,400
He has a perfect day, two outs and a double.

1630
01:45:52,400 --> 01:45:56,400
And give him a lot of credit for legging out that base hit for a double.

1631
01:45:56,400 --> 01:45:58,400
Last time up in the fifth inning.

1632
01:45:58,400 --> 01:46:02,400
Left hand batter swings on the first pitch and tops it up down the third base line.

1633
01:46:02,400 --> 01:46:08,400
Hank Magestue moves over in the foul territory and now straddle line to make sure he didn't say a pair of fairs.

1634
01:46:08,400 --> 01:46:12,400
Thompson tops to Hank Magestue.

1635
01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:19,400
In the sixth inning for the Giants, score one run on one hit, one walk, one man left.

1636
01:46:19,400 --> 01:46:22,400
And we're going to the last half of the sixth inning with a score.

1637
01:46:22,400 --> 01:46:27,400
New York Giants six to seven, Indians nothing.

1638
01:46:27,400 --> 01:46:32,400
And whether you know your baseball inside or out, our adjusted national fans,

1639
01:46:32,400 --> 01:46:36,400
you'll get a real kick out of a new Gillette World Series record book.

1640
01:46:36,400 --> 01:46:40,400
Small enough to fit in your pocket, big enough to answer thousands of questions,

1641
01:46:40,400 --> 01:46:44,400
this handy reference book will get you more fun out of baseball.

1642
01:46:44,400 --> 01:46:49,400
It has the score of every World Series game, winning tickets, all-time record of every player,

1643
01:46:49,400 --> 01:46:53,400
diagrams, dimensions, and shooting arrangements of every clock.

1644
01:46:53,400 --> 01:46:58,400
This year's fair rushes, basic rules, scoring instructions, just about everything.

1645
01:46:58,400 --> 01:47:03,400
To get a copy free, ask for that Gillette Super Speed Racer set we showed you about.

1646
01:47:03,400 --> 01:47:08,400
A dollar takes home a razor, blue blade dispenser, travel suit, book, and all.

1647
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:19,400
But don't delay, the supply is getting low.

1648
01:47:19,400 --> 01:47:30,400
And now going into the last half of the sixth inning, it will be Al Smith leading off.

1649
01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:34,400
Ruben Gomez has completed his warm-up shows and is all ready to work on Al Smith.

1650
01:47:34,400 --> 01:47:39,400
That's why she walked in the first inning, flying back to the pitcher in the third.

1651
01:47:39,400 --> 01:47:41,400
Swings on the first pitch, it's a bounding ball to the shortstop.

1652
01:47:41,400 --> 01:47:45,400
Big hop taken by a guard to throw the first and the stripper's out.

1653
01:47:45,400 --> 01:47:47,400
One pitch, one man out.

1654
01:47:47,400 --> 01:47:51,400
Six-three in case he is going along with it.

1655
01:47:51,400 --> 01:47:55,400
Give us an idea of how effective Gomez has been.

1656
01:47:55,400 --> 01:48:02,400
The last three, he has thrown just 33 pitches.

1657
01:48:02,400 --> 01:48:13,400
The batter is Bobby O'Helene, 0-1 officially, sacrifice in the first inning.

1658
01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:22,400
He picks it up and Gomez took this ball and went outside, a curve ball breaking away from him.

1659
01:48:22,400 --> 01:48:25,400
The outfield is playing him straight away.

1660
01:48:25,400 --> 01:48:32,400
Bobby O'Helene, Indian second baseman, batting champion of the American League.

1661
01:48:32,400 --> 01:48:40,400
There is ball two, high and outside, two and no count.

1662
01:48:40,400 --> 01:48:46,400
Gomez has given up just two hits, a bargain baseman single for Larry Doby in the fourth inning,

1663
01:48:46,400 --> 01:48:53,400
a single on the ground into right center by Dave Philly to open the fifth inning.

1664
01:48:53,400 --> 01:48:56,400
Next pitch is a strike, hitting the inside corner.

1665
01:48:56,400 --> 01:49:06,400
And that has been Gomez throughout the football game up to this point, hitting that ball just where he wants to.

1666
01:49:06,400 --> 01:49:08,400
Ball two, strike one.

1667
01:49:08,400 --> 01:49:14,400
Into the windup, it's hit there and Gomez now has the count of ball two and strike two.

1668
01:49:14,400 --> 01:49:16,400
A real swung on that ball.

1669
01:49:16,400 --> 01:49:21,400
I believe he foul-tipped it out of the catcher's grab, it dropped to the ground.

1670
01:49:21,400 --> 01:49:28,400
Turn two, umpire Conlon picks up the ball.

1671
01:49:28,400 --> 01:49:33,400
Johnny Cucinello coaching the third base, guarding the third man down to the batter.

1672
01:49:33,400 --> 01:49:35,400
Red press to go through at first.

1673
01:49:35,400 --> 01:49:39,400
One out and nobody on in the last half of the sixth inning.

1674
01:49:39,400 --> 01:49:45,400
Capella steps out.

1675
01:49:45,400 --> 01:49:49,400
Now in position, the two two-pitchers, one on the left, a five-ball hit into left field,

1676
01:49:49,400 --> 01:49:54,400
but that's DeRose moving back, avenged it, and has it all the way for out number two.

1677
01:49:54,400 --> 01:50:01,400
Two gone, as DeRose fired to left fielder, that's DeRose,

1678
01:50:01,400 --> 01:50:08,400
who has certainly been one of the outstanding performers in this World Series.

1679
01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:13,400
Suggesting to work like magic for Leo DeRose, who's a giant manager.

1680
01:50:13,400 --> 01:50:16,400
Barry Doby steps into the batter's box.

1681
01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:18,400
He has one out of two.

1682
01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:22,400
Left hand batter takes a strike with a fast ball, way through the middle.

1683
01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:26,400
Strike one called.

1684
01:50:26,400 --> 01:50:31,400
Strikes are very much overtaxed.

1685
01:50:31,400 --> 01:50:33,400
Well, great day here at Cleveland.

1686
01:50:33,400 --> 01:50:35,400
The next pitch is ball one high and outside.

1687
01:50:35,400 --> 01:50:43,400
The count is even up, one and one.

1688
01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:44,400
Two out and nobody on.

1689
01:50:44,400 --> 01:50:47,400
They're playing DeRose to pull.

1690
01:50:47,400 --> 01:50:49,400
And well around to right.

1691
01:50:49,400 --> 01:51:01,400
The second one pitch is a change up, ball two, with over but high, ball two and strike one.

1692
01:51:01,400 --> 01:51:06,400
Romesh Dexter-Shine from Shackler-Weston.

1693
01:51:06,400 --> 01:51:08,400
He walks into the windup.

1694
01:51:08,400 --> 01:51:11,400
The pitch and Doby swings, it's a top-five into left center.

1695
01:51:11,400 --> 01:51:14,400
Over under this one is Willie Mays, and he makes the catch.

1696
01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:16,400
Mays back-drops from the ball.

1697
01:51:16,400 --> 01:51:20,400
I think you believe he's having trouble, but he just wants to give it that basket treatment.

1698
01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:24,400
He holds the glove right there and around the belt.

1699
01:51:24,400 --> 01:51:26,400
Most of those catches.

1700
01:51:26,400 --> 01:51:28,400
Doby's drive through Mays and center.

1701
01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:30,400
Three up and three down for the Indians.

1702
01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:32,400
No runs, no hits.

1703
01:51:32,400 --> 01:51:40,400
Nothing is lost, and at the end of sixth the score is New York six, Cleveland nothing.

1704
01:51:40,400 --> 01:51:45,400
Merwin Bessie-Rose blasted that long homer yesterday at the Polar Ground to New York.

1705
01:51:45,400 --> 01:51:51,400
I thought about the chapter called Hempstown winning baseball in the New Gillette World Series record book.

1706
01:51:51,400 --> 01:51:57,400
Among other things, it illustrates the draft-like swing that's best for connection with those long low ends.

1707
01:51:57,400 --> 01:52:09,400
This is just one of the many things that makes this book so valuable to have handy anytime baseball is played or discussed.

1708
01:52:09,400 --> 01:52:12,400
Now to six runs in total.

1709
01:52:12,400 --> 01:52:15,400
The Giants have six runs, eight hits, no errors.

1710
01:52:15,400 --> 01:52:19,400
The Indians no runs, two hits, and two errors.

1711
01:52:19,400 --> 01:52:21,400
The Indians have left three men on the bases.

1712
01:52:21,400 --> 01:52:29,400
The Giants have left a total of eight.

1713
01:52:29,400 --> 01:52:33,400
It'll be Bessie-Rose leading off in the first half of the seven-tenning.

1714
01:52:33,400 --> 01:52:46,400
Many of the fans here at the stadium have come up for the Giants half of the seven-tenning, the old lucky seven-tenning stretch.

1715
01:52:46,400 --> 01:52:53,400
Number 26, Bessie-Rose.

1716
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:55,400
Wayne Oleski.

1717
01:52:55,400 --> 01:52:58,400
A swing and a miss on the first six.

1718
01:52:58,400 --> 01:53:02,400
Oleski working into the window very apparently came out with a platform.

1719
01:53:02,400 --> 01:53:06,400
Boy, it's over to the window to put it in late years.

1720
01:53:06,400 --> 01:53:08,400
Strike one.

1721
01:53:08,400 --> 01:53:10,400
The next six, a swing and a miss.

1722
01:53:10,400 --> 01:53:16,400
Six, strike two.

1723
01:53:16,400 --> 01:53:25,400
John Fiery, Al Barlich at second base, now moves over to the first-day side of the keystone.

1724
01:53:25,400 --> 01:53:26,400
Here's the windup.

1725
01:53:26,400 --> 01:53:39,400
The next six, a swing and a miss.

1726
01:53:39,400 --> 01:53:45,400
A rookie by the name of Wayne Oleski, caps the mighty Bessie-Rose.

1727
01:53:45,400 --> 01:53:48,400
He struck him out.

1728
01:53:48,400 --> 01:53:52,400
The fans here get a tremendous kick out of it.

1729
01:53:52,400 --> 01:54:04,400
Henry Williams has got a swing to come up first with the miss and he strikes one.

1730
01:54:04,400 --> 01:54:09,400
George, of course, has been the sensation of this World Series thus far.

1731
01:54:09,400 --> 01:54:13,400
Next pitch by Oleski with Williams is ball one, upside and lower the carry.

1732
01:54:13,400 --> 01:54:15,400
Count is even up, one and one.

1733
01:54:15,400 --> 01:54:17,400
One out of the first half of the seven-tenning.

1734
01:54:17,400 --> 01:54:21,400
The Giants lead six to nothing.

1735
01:54:21,400 --> 01:54:24,400
This is ball two, over but low.

1736
01:54:24,400 --> 01:54:26,400
The count is two and one.

1737
01:54:26,400 --> 01:54:29,400
He doesn't waste any time.

1738
01:54:29,400 --> 01:54:38,400
Takes a short windup and gets pumped.

1739
01:54:38,400 --> 01:54:43,400
He had 52 strikeouts in 89 innings in the regular season.

1740
01:54:43,400 --> 01:54:50,400
Williams swings with miss a strike two.

1741
01:54:50,400 --> 01:54:55,400
Ball two and strike two, the count, one out and nobody on.

1742
01:54:55,400 --> 01:55:01,400
Oleski, the third, Henry and Fiction.

1743
01:55:01,400 --> 01:55:05,400
The circle kick, ball three, over but high and the swing is out.

1744
01:55:05,400 --> 01:55:13,400
Full count of three and two.

1745
01:55:13,400 --> 01:55:18,400
Oleski came on in the sixth inning, walked one man and gave up a hit.

1746
01:55:18,400 --> 01:55:20,400
A single for Willie Mays.

1747
01:55:20,400 --> 01:55:23,400
Next pitch, Williams swings with the ground ball to Fiction, it's short.

1748
01:55:23,400 --> 01:55:27,400
Up with it, there's the short of first and Williams is out.

1749
01:55:27,400 --> 01:55:29,400
Grounding out, short to first.

1750
01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:33,400
There too gone and the batter is Wess Wessam.

1751
01:55:33,400 --> 01:55:36,400
Wessam has one out of three.

1752
01:55:36,400 --> 01:55:39,400
A single is last time, up to drive and a run.

1753
01:55:39,400 --> 01:55:41,400
In the second inning he struck out.

1754
01:55:41,400 --> 01:55:45,400
In the third he's rounded out as he attempted to pull away from a pitch.

1755
01:55:45,400 --> 01:55:49,400
He hit a little rounder right back to the pitch and right back here.

1756
01:55:49,400 --> 01:55:58,400
Oleski's first pitch to him is just right for the curve, working to the outside front of Wessam.

1757
01:55:58,400 --> 01:56:08,400
The Giants lead, quick to nothing, the third game of the 1954 World Series.

1758
01:56:08,400 --> 01:56:11,400
Oleski leads our straight away for Wessam.

1759
01:56:11,400 --> 01:56:13,400
Oleski okays the time.

1760
01:56:13,400 --> 01:56:20,400
That's fastball popping out of Heegans glove, rolling off to the left of the plate.

1761
01:56:20,400 --> 01:56:26,400
Ball one and strike one.

1762
01:56:26,400 --> 01:56:34,400
Now Oleski's dad played for the Boston Red Sox quite some years ago.

1763
01:56:34,400 --> 01:56:36,400
He's an infielder.

1764
01:56:36,400 --> 01:56:39,400
Here's the windup, the one and one pitch.

1765
01:56:39,400 --> 01:56:43,400
Wessam swings and misses, it's strike two.

1766
01:56:43,400 --> 01:56:45,400
One and two the count on the batting.

1767
01:56:45,400 --> 01:56:56,400
Two out and nobody on, the first half of the seventh.

1768
01:56:56,400 --> 01:56:57,400
The one and two pitch.

1769
01:56:57,400 --> 01:57:03,400
Wessam swings and misses, he's struck him out.

1770
01:57:03,400 --> 01:57:07,400
A fine performance by the rookie right-hander.

1771
01:57:07,400 --> 01:57:11,400
In the seventh for the Giants, no runs, no hits, nothing across.

1772
01:57:11,400 --> 01:57:18,400
And the fans now come up with a last half of the seventh inning, no home stretch.

1773
01:57:18,400 --> 01:57:25,400
At the end of six and a half minutes, the short is New York six, even nothing.

1774
01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:28,400
There you could have been with us on the baseball front the last night.

1775
01:57:28,400 --> 01:57:32,400
Four teams were aboard and you never saw a finer-looking bunch of young men.

1776
01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:36,400
They're sharp, they're alert, and they have the money to buy the things they want.

1777
01:57:36,400 --> 01:57:41,400
So when I tell you they shave with a Gillette razor, almost to a man, it ought to mean a lot to you.

1778
01:57:41,400 --> 01:57:44,400
I know how they shave because I see them in the club houses.

1779
01:57:44,400 --> 01:57:47,400
They want to look clean, well-shaved.

1780
01:57:47,400 --> 01:57:50,400
They want the refreshed feeling they get from a shower.

1781
01:57:50,400 --> 01:57:56,400
Shaving cream and a fat, comfortable shave with a Gillette Blue Blade in the Gillette Super Speed razor.

1782
01:57:56,400 --> 01:57:58,400
Those are beautiful blades.

1783
01:57:58,400 --> 01:58:00,400
They're nicely honed, smoothly chopped.

1784
01:58:00,400 --> 01:58:06,400
The quality is so uniform that each of them says, you'll never know how easy until you try.

1785
01:58:06,400 --> 01:58:10,400
Let's give them a hand at the sensors with safety compartments for use rates.

1786
01:58:10,400 --> 01:58:13,400
Twenty for 98 cents, 10 for 49 cents.

1787
01:58:13,400 --> 01:58:16,400
$71,500 at this time.

1788
01:58:16,400 --> 01:58:22,400
Applause.

1789
01:58:22,400 --> 01:58:26,400
And now back here at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium, the home of the American Legion.

1790
01:58:26,400 --> 01:58:28,400
Applause.

1791
01:58:28,400 --> 01:58:31,400
The attendance, $71,555.

1792
01:58:31,400 --> 01:58:35,400
Last of the sevens in this week's league jobs.

1793
01:58:35,400 --> 01:58:44,400
First pitch during by Gomez is ball one, inside and low.

1794
01:58:44,400 --> 01:58:47,400
Ball on the count.

1795
01:58:47,400 --> 01:58:51,400
Bryant's lead, picked him up, and there's ball two, a fast ball.

1796
01:58:51,400 --> 01:59:00,400
Too close to the batting. Ball cannot strike.

1797
01:59:00,400 --> 01:59:02,400
The outfield is shaded around club right.

1798
01:59:02,400 --> 01:59:05,400
Where's it go for two?

1799
01:59:05,400 --> 01:59:06,400
Connected.

1800
01:59:06,400 --> 01:59:08,400
Press call.

1801
01:59:08,400 --> 01:59:12,400
And in the outside corner with the two balls.

1802
01:59:12,400 --> 01:59:19,400
Ball two, strike one.

1803
01:59:19,400 --> 01:59:21,400
What a maze moving around in Tennessee.

1804
01:59:21,400 --> 01:59:25,400
Now it's just about straight away.

1805
01:59:25,400 --> 01:59:27,400
Next pitch is one, a major drive for and get out of the left corner.

1806
01:59:27,400 --> 01:59:31,400
Maze is chasing after that ball, and it is on its way for a home run.

1807
01:59:31,400 --> 01:59:50,400
Applause.

1808
01:59:50,400 --> 02:00:02,400
Big work. Indian's first baseman coming up with hit number three and the Indian's first run of the day, a home run over the right center field fence.

1809
02:00:02,400 --> 02:00:06,400
The low line drive, not a towering moment.

1810
02:00:06,400 --> 02:00:09,400
Missed the ball. That was a very solid big hit.

1811
02:00:09,400 --> 02:00:15,400
And the next batter is Hank Mageski.

1812
02:00:15,400 --> 02:00:17,400
Oh, buddy out, Mageski, right hand batter, steps in.

1813
02:00:17,400 --> 02:00:19,400
Here's go for two.

1814
02:00:19,400 --> 02:00:24,400
And he's going to a double play last time up.

1815
02:00:24,400 --> 02:00:29,400
Seventy-one thousand, five hundred and fifty-five fans.

1816
02:00:29,400 --> 02:00:31,400
Getting a big kick out of things.

1817
02:00:31,400 --> 02:00:34,400
Work comes through with his home run.

1818
02:00:34,400 --> 02:00:36,400
Now new houses.

1819
02:00:36,400 --> 02:00:39,400
Left handers start warming up on the Indian both ends.

1820
02:00:39,400 --> 02:00:41,400
All right, the first pitch to Mageski.

1821
02:00:41,400 --> 02:00:47,400
Ball went outside with a third.

1822
02:00:47,400 --> 02:00:52,400
Ball on the count.

1823
02:00:52,400 --> 02:00:55,400
Batter on deck is very silly.

1824
02:00:55,400 --> 02:00:57,400
The Giants lead six to one.

1825
02:00:57,400 --> 02:01:01,400
The Indians start supporting the white watch with that home run.

1826
02:01:01,400 --> 02:01:04,400
Next pitch is ball two inside.

1827
02:01:04,400 --> 02:01:11,400
Ball two, no strikes.

1828
02:01:11,400 --> 02:01:15,400
The boys down in the Giants, little game, looking in towards the dugout.

1829
02:01:15,400 --> 02:01:22,400
So far there's been no action in the Giants both ends.

1830
02:01:22,400 --> 02:01:23,400
Nobody out, nobody on.

1831
02:01:23,400 --> 02:01:25,400
The pitch is eight strikes, no mares.

1832
02:01:25,400 --> 02:01:29,400
Play the curve right over the heart of the plate.

1833
02:01:29,400 --> 02:01:36,400
Ball two and strike one.

1834
02:01:34,900 --> 02:01:46,400
Giants lead six to one.

1835
02:01:46,400 --> 02:01:55,400
The Giants lead six to one.

1836
02:01:55,400 --> 02:02:05,400
That brings up number 17, Dave Philly.

1837
02:02:05,400 --> 02:02:08,400
In two trips to the plate, he has a walk and a single.

1838
02:02:08,400 --> 02:02:11,400
His single was a ground ball in the right center.

1839
02:02:11,400 --> 02:02:13,400
Looks at ball one outside and low.

1840
02:02:13,400 --> 02:02:15,400
First pitch.

1841
02:02:15,400 --> 02:02:20,400
Ball on the count.

1842
02:02:20,400 --> 02:02:24,400
Batter on deck is George Strickland.

1843
02:02:24,400 --> 02:02:26,400
Go case to time.

1844
02:02:26,400 --> 02:02:29,400
The pitch is eight strikes with a fastball knee high.

1845
02:02:29,400 --> 02:02:37,400
Even up, ball one and strike one.

1846
02:02:37,400 --> 02:02:41,400
Works his home run where his hit number three off go med.

1847
02:02:41,400 --> 02:02:42,400
The one and one pitch.

1848
02:02:42,400 --> 02:02:46,400
Philly takes the strike with a change up.

1849
02:02:46,400 --> 02:02:48,400
Ball one and strike two.

1850
02:02:48,400 --> 02:02:58,400
Now steps back to talk to the umpire, Jaco Conlon.

1851
02:02:58,400 --> 02:03:05,400
Ball one and strike two.

1852
02:03:05,400 --> 02:03:11,400
Philly asking umpire Conlon where that ball was and he told him.

1853
02:03:11,400 --> 02:03:12,400
Right over.

1854
02:03:12,400 --> 02:03:25,400
Ball two high and outside.

1855
02:03:25,400 --> 02:03:29,400
The outfielders are shaded just a bit toward right for Philly.

1856
02:03:29,400 --> 02:03:30,400
Here's the wind up.

1857
02:03:30,400 --> 02:03:31,400
The two to pitch.

1858
02:03:31,400 --> 02:03:32,400
Just swing and a miss.

1859
02:03:32,400 --> 02:03:34,400
He's chucking out.

1860
02:03:34,400 --> 02:03:40,400
Philly goes down swinging.

1861
02:03:40,400 --> 02:03:47,400
That is the second strike out for Ruben Gomez.

1862
02:03:47,400 --> 02:03:53,400
He has walked only two batters.

1863
02:03:53,400 --> 02:03:56,400
Now it's George Strickland stepping into the batter's box.

1864
02:03:56,400 --> 02:04:01,400
Coming up with two out and nobody on.

1865
02:04:01,400 --> 02:04:07,400
Takes a fastball strike right in there.

1866
02:04:07,400 --> 02:04:13,400
Last half of the seventh inning the Giants lead by a score of six to one.

1867
02:04:13,400 --> 02:04:17,400
Next pitch Strickland swings and pops this one up to the right side of the infield.

1868
02:04:17,400 --> 02:04:22,400
Going back on the edge of the grass is Whitey Lockman and he makes the catch.

1869
02:04:22,400 --> 02:04:27,400
The third out and the Indians in the seventh get one run, one hit.

1870
02:04:27,400 --> 02:04:30,400
Big works his home run.

1871
02:04:30,400 --> 02:04:36,400
At the end of seventh the score is New York six Cleveland one.

1872
02:04:36,400 --> 02:04:45,400
New York's New York City batter, who won the American Lake batting title with a 3.41 average, has gone 2 for 11 so far in this World Series of 1954.

1873
02:04:45,400 --> 02:04:51,400
He has quite a jinx to overcome because batting champions generally do poorly in the series.

1874
02:04:51,400 --> 02:04:56,400
To mention a few from the all-time series roster in the Gillette World Series record books,

1875
02:04:56,400 --> 02:05:05,400
Ted Williams averages 200 and Muzio 256 and Jackie Robinson 242.

1876
02:05:05,400 --> 02:05:09,400
The Gillette World Series is the best four out of seven.

1877
02:05:09,400 --> 02:05:21,400
The Giants won the first two games in New York and lead the Indians on their home grounds right here in Cleveland in this third game by a score of six to one as we head into the first half of the eighth inning.

1878
02:05:21,400 --> 02:05:29,400
The Giants will lead off with Richard Gomez getting a nice hand from the crowd as he comes up.

1879
02:05:29,400 --> 02:05:37,400
He's got him a fine performance.

1880
02:05:37,400 --> 02:05:42,400
Right hand got him. He lined the center field and struck out twice.

1881
02:05:42,400 --> 02:05:53,400
Dallas gets first pitch. He swings and misses. Strike one.

1882
02:05:53,400 --> 02:06:03,400
Next tricks to him. He swings on it and pops it up to the infield. Right by second base is George Strickland. He makes the catch. We're out number one.

1883
02:06:03,400 --> 02:06:10,400
Gomez pops to George Strickland, the shortstop.

1884
02:06:10,400 --> 02:06:13,400
And now the top of the batting order.

1885
02:06:13,400 --> 02:06:25,400
Lockman, left hand batter number 25. He has a single and a walk in four trips to the plate.

1886
02:06:25,400 --> 02:06:30,400
Stands deep in the batter's box and chokes up on the bat. Swings on the first pitch. It's a ground ball to Wirtz at first.

1887
02:06:30,400 --> 02:06:34,400
Wirtz takes it, races to the bag. Ahead of the runner, we're up number two.

1888
02:06:34,400 --> 02:06:42,400
Lockman grounded out to Wirtz unassisted. That brings up Alvin Dock.

1889
02:06:42,400 --> 02:06:51,400
And nobody on. First half of the eighth inning.

1890
02:06:51,400 --> 02:06:58,400
Dock, the right hand batter, has one out of three officially. He sacrificed his last trip to the plate.

1891
02:06:58,400 --> 02:07:03,400
And he tries to hold back with swings and hits and easy grounder. Right back to the pitcher. Now let's get takes.

1892
02:07:03,400 --> 02:07:12,400
First to first ends, the Giants are retired in order. Three up and three down. No runs, no hits for the Giants.

1893
02:07:12,400 --> 02:07:19,400
And going into the last half of the eighth inning, the score is New York 6-3-1.

1894
02:07:19,400 --> 02:07:25,400
Say, have you ever noticed that guys who use Gillette razors are pretty good routers for the kind of shape they get?

1895
02:07:25,400 --> 02:07:32,400
And that goes for the men who use Gillette three-piece razors, too. Now here's a very special, how do you do to them?

1896
02:07:32,400 --> 02:07:39,400
And a very special message, too. The Gillette three-piece razor is a fine shaving instrument. No question about it.

1897
02:07:39,400 --> 02:07:46,400
What we'd like to have you try our one-piece Gillette super speed razor. It delivers the same smooth, refreshing shave.

1898
02:07:46,400 --> 02:07:54,400
But they are so much easier to come by. Please change in an instant. Nothing to take apart. And simply rinse under a faucet to clean.

1899
02:07:54,400 --> 02:08:02,400
One dollar will modernize your Gillette shaving equipment. Buy a Gillette super speed razor and blue blade dispenser in a travel case.

1900
02:08:02,400 --> 02:08:09,400
Right now you get the Gillette World Series record book attached free. A pretty big dollar's worth if you ask us.

1901
02:08:14,400 --> 02:08:20,400
And now before we go into the last half of the eighth inning, let's pause ten seconds for station identification.

1902
02:08:20,400 --> 02:08:24,400
This is Mutual, the radio network for all America.

1903
02:08:29,400 --> 02:08:31,400
WGM Chicago.

1904
02:08:36,400 --> 02:08:42,400
And now back at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland, the last half of the eighth and a pinchhead are coming up for Jim Higgins.

1905
02:08:42,400 --> 02:08:53,400
Kyle Lopez calls upon his reserve to get something started for his tribe. Trailing in the series, two games to nothing, and trailing in this ball game, six to one.

1906
02:08:53,400 --> 02:08:59,400
Bill Glenn is batting for Higgins, left-hand batter. Swings on the first pitch and hits the flat ball into right field.

1907
02:08:59,400 --> 02:09:05,400
Coming over hard for it is Gillette. He drops the ball. Gillette's going for two. He runs some under his cap. Gillette picks it up.

1908
02:09:05,400 --> 02:09:13,400
They throw in, but too late. And it's in his second base.

1909
02:09:13,400 --> 02:09:24,400
That is going to be a two-base hit. A fine try by Don Mueller. He got a glove on the ball, but it was a sinking line drive.

1910
02:09:24,400 --> 02:09:30,400
He couldn't handle it. He dropped to the ground for a two-base hit.

1911
02:09:30,400 --> 02:09:44,400
Another pinchhead is coming out. Dale Mitchell, number three, batting for Raynor Lesky. Mitchell is the left-hander.

1912
02:09:44,400 --> 02:09:57,400
Hails from Oklahoma City, product of Oklahoma University. Mitchell, during the regular season, batted 283, but was used mostly in the pinchhead a role.

1913
02:09:57,400 --> 02:10:07,400
Lloyd Wilhelm, a right-hander, and Wendy McCall, a left-hander, starts warming up for the New York Giants.

1914
02:10:07,400 --> 02:10:10,400
First pitch to Mitchell. He swings and hits the ground ball to the first baseman.

1915
02:10:10,400 --> 02:10:15,400
Lachman takes it, races to the bag. As Glenn moves to third, Mitchell is out.

1916
02:10:15,400 --> 02:10:21,400
Mitchell, grounding out on the first pitch. Lachman, unaffected.

1917
02:10:21,400 --> 02:10:31,400
Glenn is on third, and the top of the batting order is coming up.

1918
02:10:31,400 --> 02:10:37,400
Don Mueller, left-hander, is now warming up for the Indians, so is Al Maradon, a catcher.

1919
02:10:37,400 --> 02:10:46,400
Al Smith is the batter. He has to walk in three trips.

1920
02:10:46,400 --> 02:10:57,400
First pitch to him is a strike. Curve ball is good to the knees. Right over, strike one. Glenn is on third with one out.

1921
02:10:57,400 --> 02:11:02,400
Last half of the eighth inning, the Giants lead by a score of six to one.

1922
02:11:02,400 --> 02:11:21,400
Outfield, rolled around toward left. Smith, standing deep in the batter's box, well back of the plate. Takes ball one outside and low with a curve, breaking into the dirt.

1923
02:11:21,400 --> 02:11:33,400
Bobby Avila is on deck. Here's the windup. Glenn makes a false start from third. The pitch is swung on, fouled, down the third baseline. Out of play.

1924
02:11:33,400 --> 02:11:54,400
Ball one and strike two. Gomez, keeping the ball low to Smith. He fouled that one off his foot.

1925
02:11:54,400 --> 02:12:01,400
Quite a bit of pain. He steps again back from the plate.

1926
02:12:01,400 --> 02:12:11,400
Right this way, he was a protected thin guard. Smith is always fouling the ball off onto his own foot, bouncing it up and hitting him in the leg.

1927
02:12:11,400 --> 02:12:27,400
Here's the windup. One and two pitch. Ball two outside. He's started to go forward but held back in time to take ball three.

1928
02:12:27,400 --> 02:12:36,400
Runner on third with one out. Glenn doubles off Mueller's glove and right moved up as Mitchell grounded out.

1929
02:12:36,400 --> 02:12:51,400
The pitch is low into the dirt for ball three. And the string is out. Full count of three and two on Al Smith.

1930
02:12:51,400 --> 02:13:00,400
The Indians bouncing back against the fine pitching of Ruben Gomez, who has given up only four hits.

1931
02:13:00,400 --> 02:13:09,400
Glenn is on third with one out. The count three and two. Here's the payoff pitch. Swung on and fouled off. Down the first baseline, curving back into the crowd. Out of play.

1932
02:13:09,400 --> 02:13:26,400
Whitey Lockman raised over with no chance to get it.

1933
02:13:26,400 --> 02:13:33,400
New ball is tossed into play.

1934
02:13:33,400 --> 02:13:44,400
Gomez is all set. Here's the windup. The three-two pitch. Hit foul down the third baseline and Glenn had to jump out of the way of that ball.

1935
02:13:44,400 --> 02:14:00,400
Dusty Rhodes racing over, taking no chances on whether it was foul. How fair. Feel of that ball right where the boys are warming up. McCall and Wilhelm.

1936
02:14:00,400 --> 02:14:20,400
Smith to bat it with a count three and two. Glenn on third. Yacht field around toward left. Time is called. Smith steps out of the batter's box.

1937
02:14:20,400 --> 02:14:30,400
All right, the three-two pitchers were on the ground ball to the shortstop. Doc is up with it. Glenn is coming on to score. The throw high at the first base. And yellow Smith is second. He races around second.

1938
02:14:30,400 --> 02:14:41,400
Lockman is up with the ball to throw across the diamond. Smith holds up and goes back to second.

1939
02:14:41,400 --> 02:14:51,400
The score is now New York six, Cleveland two, and Smith is on second. That could well be a break for the Indians.

1940
02:14:51,400 --> 02:15:06,400
We'll get the official call on it. It is a base hit and an arrow. A hit to deep shortstop. And an arrow.

1941
02:15:06,400 --> 02:15:18,400
The batter is Bobby Avila. The score is six to two. The run got it in for Al Smith. Glenn scored. Smith is now in second.

1942
02:15:18,400 --> 02:15:31,400
The first pitch to Avila. Ball one high and inside. Smith goes to second on the throwing arrow by Alvin Doc.

1943
02:15:31,400 --> 02:15:43,400
That's the first giant error of the game and the third for both teams. The Indians have two. One out here in the last half of the eighth inning. Smith on second. Takes the lead.

1944
02:15:43,400 --> 02:15:54,400
The next pitch. Avila takes ball two inside and low.

1945
02:15:54,400 --> 02:16:08,400
The Giants now have a total of four errors for the three games of the 54 World Series. The Indians two. Next pitch. Avila takes ball three high and inside.

1946
02:16:08,400 --> 02:16:25,400
Ball three, no strikes. Batter on deck is Larry Dolby. The score is New York six, Cleveland two.

1947
02:16:25,400 --> 02:16:41,400
The outfield playing straight away. Gomez okays the sign. The pitch is a strike. The outside corner, waste time.

1948
02:16:41,400 --> 02:16:55,400
Three and one to count. Avila may not let this one go by. Naturally he'd like to get on if possible. Dolby coming up. There's ball four, too high and Avila takes the wall.

1949
02:16:55,400 --> 02:17:05,400
Coming up is Larry Dolby. And here comes Leo DeRoscia out of the giant dugout.

1950
02:17:05,400 --> 02:17:11,400
We'll have a little conference out there on the mound. Indians have runners on first and second with one out.

1951
02:17:11,400 --> 02:17:20,400
You know fans, this is only the third World Series for Cleveland, yet its players have achieved the greatest single batting and fielding feats possible.

1952
02:17:20,400 --> 02:17:27,400
In 1920, Elmer Smith slammed a homer with the bases loaded. Bill Womgantz made a triple play unassisted.

1953
02:17:27,400 --> 02:17:42,400
Now this is the kind of valuable baseball information that's packed into the 112 pages of the Gillette World Series record book. Be sure to get yours.

1954
02:17:42,400 --> 02:17:51,400
Now umpire Jaco Conlon goes out and it looks like a new pitcher is going to be called into the game.

1955
02:17:51,400 --> 02:18:00,400
Mark Wilhelm. DeRoscia making with the knuckler sign, his right hand.

1956
02:18:00,400 --> 02:18:16,400
And that is going to be all for Ruben Gomez.

1957
02:18:16,400 --> 02:18:27,400
Mark Wilhelm, a knuckleball pitcher, is coming into the game to face Larry Dolby.

1958
02:18:27,400 --> 02:18:37,400
So Gomez, running into a bit of trouble here in the last half of the eighth inning, has worked seven and one third innings.

1959
02:18:37,400 --> 02:18:48,400
He has given up five hits. He has walked three men. He has struck out two.

1960
02:18:48,400 --> 02:19:00,400
And has allowed two runs and is leaving two men on. Should they score, they will be charged against him.

1961
02:19:00,400 --> 02:19:09,400
And now we have a change in our scoring. We've just had word from the official scorers that Al Smith does not get a base hit.

1962
02:19:09,400 --> 02:19:16,400
However, he does get a run batted in. There's a two base throwing error charged to Alvin Dock.

1963
02:19:16,400 --> 02:19:22,400
So Gomez has given up only four hits.

1964
02:19:22,400 --> 02:19:35,400
Got that, and you're scoring seven and a third innings. Given up four hits, walked three, struck out two. Gave up two runs and is leaving two men on.

1965
02:19:35,400 --> 02:19:43,400
Wilhelm, wearing number 49, taking his warm-up throws. He is different from most knuckleball pitchers.

1966
02:19:43,400 --> 02:19:52,400
And that he throws a fast knuckle. It's a knuckleball, but it's very fast.

1967
02:19:52,400 --> 02:19:59,400
Still works the same, and is just as hard, if not harder, to hit.

1968
02:19:59,400 --> 02:20:12,400
Larry Dolby, who was the hitting star of the 1948 World Series against the Boston Braves, now has a chance to come through for his ball club.

1969
02:20:12,400 --> 02:20:21,400
All right, Wilhelm says he's ready to work. Dolby steps in. Smith is on second. Bobby Avila is on first.

1970
02:20:21,400 --> 02:20:33,400
Vic Wirtz is on deck. Indians trailing by four runs.

1971
02:20:33,400 --> 02:20:43,400
Marv Grissom now joins Wendy McCall, the left-hander warming up in the bullpen. Grissom is the right-hander that helped in the first game, actually won it.

1972
02:20:43,400 --> 02:20:49,400
All right, Wilhelm is ready. Here's the stretch. The pitch to Dolby, he swings and misses. Strike one.

1973
02:20:49,400 --> 02:21:00,400
Boy, and there was no question about what he wanted. He was swinging for the distance.

1974
02:21:00,400 --> 02:21:06,400
There's the owl. He was swinging for defense.

1975
02:21:06,400 --> 02:21:15,400
The runners move off. The next pitch, swung around the ground ball is into the first base when Lachman takes it, races to the bag ahead of Dolby, and Dolby is out on a close play.

1976
02:21:15,400 --> 02:21:26,400
The runners move up. Dolby tried a slide into first base, but Lachman beat him there.

1977
02:21:26,400 --> 02:21:35,400
The bullpen is out, and the batter is Vic Wirtz.

1978
02:21:35,400 --> 02:21:39,400
A Giants lead by a score of 6-2.

1979
02:21:39,400 --> 02:21:49,400
Now time is called. Westrom goes out to talk with Wilhelm.

1980
02:21:49,400 --> 02:22:02,400
Wilhelm is in the picture, proving that he can reach into the bag and come up with some fine relief pitching.

1981
02:22:02,400 --> 02:22:06,400
Marv Grissom got credit for winning the first game of the World Series.

1982
02:22:06,400 --> 02:22:09,400
Yesterday was Johnny Antonelli all the way.

1983
02:22:09,400 --> 02:22:12,400
First pitch to Wirtz now, his ball went outside.

1984
02:22:12,400 --> 02:22:21,400
He'll try to keep it away from his power. Batter on deck is a right-hand batter, Hank Majeski.

1985
02:22:21,400 --> 02:22:26,400
Smith is on third, Avila on second. The Giants lead 6-2. They're two out.

1986
02:22:26,400 --> 02:22:31,400
Here's the windup. The next pitch is a strike hitting the outside corner waist-tie.

1987
02:22:31,400 --> 02:22:37,400
Ball one and strike one.

1988
02:22:37,400 --> 02:22:44,400
Wirtz has certainly been the hitting star of the series for the Indians thus far, just as Rhodes has been for the Giants.

1989
02:22:44,400 --> 02:22:50,400
Next pitch fouled back to the screen, and now the pitcher has him in the hole.

1990
02:22:50,400 --> 02:22:57,400
Ball one and strike two.

1991
02:22:57,400 --> 02:23:00,400
One and two count.

1992
02:23:00,400 --> 02:23:05,400
Wilhelm didn't like the ball that he got there, tossed it back into the catcher.

1993
02:23:05,400 --> 02:23:15,400
Another little left-hander, the umpire back of the plate, Jaco Conlon, throws another out.

1994
02:23:15,400 --> 02:23:20,400
Into the windup, the one and two pitch. Wirtz swings and he misses. He struck him out.

1995
02:23:20,400 --> 02:23:32,400
Wirtz goes down swinging, and Mr. Wilhelm did a mighty fine job, a right-hand pitcher against two left-hand batters.

1996
02:23:32,400 --> 02:23:37,400
The Indians in the eighth inning get just the one run on one hit.

1997
02:23:37,400 --> 02:23:42,400
There was one giant error, and two men were left on the bases.

1998
02:23:42,400 --> 02:23:48,400
At the end of eight innings, the score is New York 6, Cleveland 2.

1999
02:23:48,400 --> 02:24:06,400
Look sharp, feel sharp, be sharp and listen, mister, how are your picks for blades? Do you have plenty? How are your picks for blades? You better check. Please make sure you have enough, cause a worn-out blade makes shaving mighty tough.

2000
02:24:06,400 --> 02:24:16,400
How are your picks for blades? Better look to let the blades we need.

2001
02:24:16,400 --> 02:24:26,400
And our fans, we're back at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland, going into the first half of the ninth inning of the third World Series game between the New York Giants and the Cleveland Indians.

2002
02:24:26,400 --> 02:24:34,400
The new triad pitcher is number 12, Don Mossy.

2003
02:24:34,400 --> 02:24:43,400
Mossy is making his second appearance in the World Series, appeared in 40 ball games during the regular season.

2004
02:24:43,400 --> 02:24:51,400
And young Hal Narragun is the Indian catcher.

2005
02:24:51,400 --> 02:25:07,400
Number 18, Hal Narragun, he has just returned from the Marines this year and was carried by the ball club as that extra serviceman.

2006
02:25:07,400 --> 02:25:14,400
He hails from Bobbitton, Ohio.

2007
02:25:14,400 --> 02:25:21,400
He appeared in 45 ball games, posted a batting average of 238.

2008
02:25:21,400 --> 02:25:30,400
And now in the first half of the ninth, it'll be Don Mueller leading off for the Giants, left-hand batter number 22 against left-hand pitcher Don Mossy.

2009
02:25:30,400 --> 02:25:37,400
Mueller has one out of four and has scored two runs, swings on the first pitch and wraps the line drive out of the third baseman's head into left field.

2010
02:25:37,400 --> 02:25:42,400
A base hit, Smith is up with it, the throw to the infield, holds it to a single.

2011
02:25:42,400 --> 02:25:46,400
Mueller lined the first pitch into left.

2012
02:25:46,400 --> 02:25:51,400
His hit into left field in the third inning was a beautiful thing to see.

2013
02:25:51,400 --> 02:25:58,400
With the hit and run on, dark was moving, Mueller hit one through the hole into left field.

2014
02:25:58,400 --> 02:26:04,400
Now here's Willie Mays, he has two out of four, two singles both into right field.

2015
02:26:04,400 --> 02:26:08,400
He's a right-hand batter, nobody out.

2016
02:26:08,400 --> 02:26:22,400
First pitch is a strike, a fastball, let her hide.

2017
02:26:22,400 --> 02:26:26,400
Runner on first, Don Mueller leads away, nobody out.

2018
02:26:26,400 --> 02:26:31,400
The next pitch is high and outside with a curve that refused, ball one and strike one.

2019
02:26:31,400 --> 02:26:39,400
Mays today coming up with his first World Series hits, has two of them now.

2020
02:26:39,400 --> 02:26:45,400
The Giants have a total of nine, has against four for the Indians.

2021
02:26:45,400 --> 02:26:49,400
One and one to count, here's the stretch.

2022
02:26:49,400 --> 02:26:59,400
The pitch is swung on and fouled back into the stands, out of play.

2023
02:26:59,400 --> 02:27:04,400
Count moves to ball one and strike two on the batter, Willie Mays, number 24.

2024
02:27:04,400 --> 02:27:16,400
On deck is Hank Thompson.

2025
02:27:16,400 --> 02:27:22,400
And Marcy O'Kee's the sign from his young battery mate, Al Narragun, checks the runner.

2026
02:27:22,400 --> 02:27:31,400
The one and two pitch is high, ball two, ball two and strike two.

2027
02:27:31,400 --> 02:27:39,400
Mays has made his hits pay off today, two hits, two runs batted in.

2028
02:27:39,400 --> 02:27:41,400
Mueller takes the lead off, ready to travel.

2029
02:27:41,400 --> 02:27:46,400
The two-two pitch and it is ball three, a bit too high.

2030
02:27:46,400 --> 02:27:52,400
Ball three, strike two.

2031
02:27:52,400 --> 02:28:06,400
Mays almost went through with the swing, but held back just in time, did not break the wrist.

2032
02:28:06,400 --> 02:28:09,400
Ball three, strike two, and now Mueller will be moving.

2033
02:28:09,400 --> 02:28:13,400
The stretch and the pay off pitch is swung on, there's a line drive, hits sharply into left center.

2034
02:28:13,400 --> 02:28:15,400
Mueller makes the turn at second, he's going for third.

2035
02:28:15,400 --> 02:28:18,400
He'll be in there standing up, don't be throwing to second.

2036
02:28:18,400 --> 02:28:20,400
Mays holding it first.

2037
02:28:20,400 --> 02:28:25,400
Three hits for Mays and he has come through each time with men on base.

2038
02:28:25,400 --> 02:28:28,400
That's the kind of a hitter you like.

2039
02:28:28,400 --> 02:28:36,400
The guy that can deliver, and there are runners on the sacks.

2040
02:28:36,400 --> 02:28:38,400
Giant runners on first and third, nobody out.

2041
02:28:38,400 --> 02:28:42,400
The winner is Henry Thompson, third baseman.

2042
02:28:42,400 --> 02:28:53,400
He has two walks and a double.

2043
02:28:53,400 --> 02:29:00,400
Getting more action down in the Indian bullpen now as Bob Hooper starts to warm up, right hander.

2044
02:29:00,400 --> 02:29:02,400
First pitch to Thompson, he hits a line drive to Strickland.

2045
02:29:02,400 --> 02:29:05,400
Strickland's throw back to first and Mays has doubled.

2046
02:29:05,400 --> 02:29:10,400
Mays was halfway to second and had not the slightest chance of getting back.

2047
02:29:10,400 --> 02:29:13,400
And with one pitch, Marcy erases two men.

2048
02:29:13,400 --> 02:29:17,400
Mueller is holding at third.

2049
02:29:17,400 --> 02:29:26,400
That's the first double play for the Indians and just the second of the World Series.

2050
02:29:26,400 --> 02:29:30,400
Thompson lined to Strickland who doubled Mays at first.

2051
02:29:30,400 --> 02:29:35,400
Here's Dusty Rhodes up.

2052
02:29:35,400 --> 02:29:37,400
Two out, runner on third.

2053
02:29:37,400 --> 02:29:40,400
Mays was struck out by Norlesky in the seventh inning.

2054
02:29:40,400 --> 02:29:44,400
First pitch to him, he swings and hits a ground ball foul down the first baseline.

2055
02:29:44,400 --> 02:29:50,400
Lot of play in the counter, strike one.

2056
02:29:50,400 --> 02:30:00,400
Seven runs batted in in this World Series and this is just the third game.

2057
02:30:00,400 --> 02:30:03,400
The Giants are leading by a score of 6-2.

2058
02:30:03,400 --> 02:30:09,400
And unless the Indians can pull their forces together, it looks like an abbreviated one.

2059
02:30:09,400 --> 02:30:18,400
Next pitch is ball one high and inside, one and one to count.

2060
02:30:18,400 --> 02:30:28,400
Neither manager has named a starting pitcher for tomorrow's fourth game.

2061
02:30:28,400 --> 02:30:30,400
Here's the windup.

2062
02:30:30,400 --> 02:30:39,400
The pitch is too low for ball two, two and one to count.

2063
02:30:39,400 --> 02:30:45,400
Mueller on third, he let off of the single, moved to third on Mays' hit into left center.

2064
02:30:45,400 --> 02:30:50,400
Thompson lined into a double play.

2065
02:30:50,400 --> 02:30:54,400
The outfield playing straight away.

2066
02:30:54,400 --> 02:31:04,400
The next pitch to Rhodes is ball three, inside and low, three and one to count.

2067
02:31:04,400 --> 02:31:07,400
Ball three, strike one.

2068
02:31:07,400 --> 02:31:18,400
Rhodes came on in the third inning as a pinch hitter for Monte Irvin, singled into right field, driving in two runs.

2069
02:31:18,400 --> 02:31:21,400
Green run the county, maybe gunning for it, here's the windup.

2070
02:31:21,400 --> 02:31:25,400
And the pitch is a strike call, a little high.

2071
02:31:25,400 --> 02:31:31,400
Full count of three and two on the batter.

2072
02:31:31,400 --> 02:31:36,400
Fans start buzzing a little bit as Marcy gets ready for the big pitch.

2073
02:31:36,400 --> 02:31:38,400
The count three and two.

2074
02:31:38,400 --> 02:31:44,400
With two out in the first half of the ninth inning, the Giants lead by a score of six to two.

2075
02:31:44,400 --> 02:31:46,400
Marcy in action.

2076
02:31:46,400 --> 02:31:48,400
The three-two pitch, a swing and a miss.

2077
02:31:48,400 --> 02:31:50,400
He struck him out.

2078
02:31:50,400 --> 02:31:54,400
In the high curve ball and Rhodes went for it, struck him out.

2079
02:31:54,400 --> 02:31:56,400
Second time.

2080
02:31:56,400 --> 02:32:00,400
And two rookies turn the trick.

2081
02:32:00,400 --> 02:32:05,400
So in the eighth inning for the Giants, no runs, they had two hits, one man left.

2082
02:32:05,400 --> 02:32:11,400
And going into the last half of the ninth inning, the scorer is New York 6, Cleveland 2.

2083
02:32:11,400 --> 02:32:18,400
You know, fans, unless you're an expert, you may have missed a few points of today's game.

2084
02:32:18,400 --> 02:32:23,400
So stay tuned after the last out and hear old man baseball himself, Bill Cobb,

2085
02:32:23,400 --> 02:32:37,400
who reviews the game and points up the day's play as only he can.

2086
02:32:37,400 --> 02:32:45,400
Well, it's the last half of the ninth inning, and the Indians have just three outs to get back into this game

2087
02:32:45,400 --> 02:32:47,400
and to get into the World Series.

2088
02:32:47,400 --> 02:32:49,400
They have yet to post a victory.

2089
02:32:49,400 --> 02:33:05,400
The Giants holding the lead two games to none and leading this game by four runs, six to two.

2090
02:33:05,400 --> 02:33:11,400
The Giants have collected 10 hits off Indian pitching, five of them coming off Scott of Garcia,

2091
02:33:11,400 --> 02:33:14,400
two off Art Hodderman, who relieved in the fourth.

2092
02:33:14,400 --> 02:33:19,400
Naleski gave up one hit, and Marcy gave up two, however the Giants failed to score against Marcy

2093
02:33:19,400 --> 02:33:27,400
in the one inning that he worked.

2094
02:33:27,400 --> 02:33:32,400
Hank Majeski will lead off for the Indians.

2095
02:33:32,400 --> 02:33:35,400
Bottom half of the batting order is up.

2096
02:33:35,400 --> 02:33:41,400
Hort Wilhelm, the knuckleball hurler, pitches a strike.

2097
02:33:41,400 --> 02:33:44,400
Worst pitch was right in their waist high.

2098
02:33:44,400 --> 02:33:47,400
Majeski is looking for his first hit today, his 0 for 3.

2099
02:33:47,400 --> 02:33:51,400
Down it out twice and fouled out.

2100
02:33:51,400 --> 02:33:55,400
Wilhelm pitches a strike to the inside corner, and there's that knuckleball.

2101
02:33:55,400 --> 02:34:01,400
Boy, that's a tough one.

2102
02:34:01,400 --> 02:34:04,400
Indian batters have really been silent.

2103
02:34:04,400 --> 02:34:07,400
Ruben Gomez giving up only four hits.

2104
02:34:07,400 --> 02:34:10,400
Wilhelm coming on in the eighth inning to put out the far.

2105
02:34:10,400 --> 02:34:13,400
Getting Doeby and Worst, two left-hand batters.

2106
02:34:13,400 --> 02:34:15,400
There's ball one inside, and low to Majeski.

2107
02:34:15,400 --> 02:34:25,400
The count moves to ball one and strike two.

2108
02:34:25,400 --> 02:34:30,400
The outfield around Todd Left, Wilhelm takes his time with Kechua Weston.

2109
02:34:30,400 --> 02:34:32,400
One and two pitch.

2110
02:34:32,400 --> 02:34:35,400
Ball two outside, and low with a curveball.

2111
02:34:35,400 --> 02:34:39,400
Ball two and strike two.

2112
02:34:39,400 --> 02:34:49,400
71,555 fans in today's ballgame, bringing the total to 183,405

2113
02:34:49,400 --> 02:34:53,400
for the three games of the 1954 series.

2114
02:34:53,400 --> 02:34:55,400
All right, the two-two pitch.

2115
02:34:55,400 --> 02:34:57,400
Majeski takes strike three to the inside corner.

2116
02:34:57,400 --> 02:35:02,400
He's struck him out.

2117
02:35:02,400 --> 02:35:03,400
Went away.

2118
02:35:03,400 --> 02:35:06,400
Well, the Indians have used four pitchers today.

2119
02:35:06,400 --> 02:35:09,400
They can sure use a pair like Dizzy and Paul Dean, right?

2120
02:35:09,400 --> 02:35:14,400
Remember, they pitched and won all four games of the 34 World Series for the St. Louis Cardinals.

2121
02:35:14,400 --> 02:35:17,400
Information like this gives you more baseball pleasure,

2122
02:35:17,400 --> 02:35:23,400
and the deluxe World Series record book is filled with it.

2123
02:35:23,400 --> 02:35:24,400
One out.

2124
02:35:24,400 --> 02:35:25,400
Dave Filiers up.

2125
02:35:25,400 --> 02:35:26,400
Flames on the first pitch.

2126
02:35:26,400 --> 02:35:27,400
It's a ground ball to the second base.

2127
02:35:27,400 --> 02:35:28,400
A knockdown by Williams.

2128
02:35:28,400 --> 02:35:39,400
The third of first, and Filiers out on the close play.

2129
02:35:39,400 --> 02:35:44,400
There's that hustle in that giant infield, and it'll pay off every time.

2130
02:35:44,400 --> 02:35:48,400
When the dice used to say, stop them with your chest, your knee, your elbow, or anything,

2131
02:35:48,400 --> 02:35:52,400
but go and get them and throw that batter out.

2132
02:35:52,400 --> 02:35:57,400
Filiers outing out, second to first, four-three.

2133
02:35:57,400 --> 02:36:02,400
They're two gone, and we're getting a pinch hitter.

2134
02:36:02,400 --> 02:36:14,400
Dave Pope batting for George Strickland.

2135
02:36:14,400 --> 02:36:30,400
Up and two down for the Indians here in the ninth, the Giants lead by a serve, six to two.

2136
02:36:30,400 --> 02:36:34,400
Pope is the left-hand batter.

2137
02:36:34,400 --> 02:36:35,400
First pitch, he swings on it.

2138
02:36:35,400 --> 02:36:36,400
A ground ball to the right side of the infield.

2139
02:36:36,400 --> 02:36:40,400
Williams covers up a pass up at the, but go to first, and on a pretty play.

2140
02:36:40,400 --> 02:36:45,400
Filiers out, Pope grounding out, Williams to first, and the Indians bite the dust.

2141
02:36:45,400 --> 02:36:47,400
One, two, three.

2142
02:36:47,400 --> 02:36:51,400
No runs, no hits, nothing is crossed.

2143
02:36:51,400 --> 02:36:56,400
And the final score, New York, six runs, ten hits, one error.

2144
02:36:56,400 --> 02:36:59,400
Even two runs, four hits, and two errors.

2145
02:36:59,400 --> 02:37:02,400
The winning pitcher, Ruben Gomez.

2146
02:37:02,400 --> 02:37:04,400
The losing pitcher, Mike Garcia.

2147
02:37:04,400 --> 02:37:10,400
Now in just a moment, Bill Corum will review the highlights of today's game for you.

2148
02:37:10,400 --> 02:37:14,400
Ladies and gentlemen, a home permanent that's really trouble-free.

2149
02:37:14,400 --> 02:37:18,400
It's New South Timing Tony with 15-minute waving motion.

2150
02:37:18,400 --> 02:37:22,400
With this New South Timing, you're sure of perfect timing every time.

2151
02:37:22,400 --> 02:37:26,400
There's no clock-setting, no test-curls, no guesswork.

2152
02:37:26,400 --> 02:37:28,400
New South Timing Tony is timed to right.

2153
02:37:28,400 --> 02:37:30,400
Your waves can't go wrong.

2154
02:37:30,400 --> 02:37:35,400
In just a moment, the wave of neutralize gives you months of more carefree waves.

2155
02:37:35,400 --> 02:37:39,400
It's the one permanent that's fast and last.

2156
02:37:39,400 --> 02:37:43,400
And your wave will be soft and natural right from the very first day.

2157
02:37:43,400 --> 02:37:45,400
So no matter how happy you were with your last permanent,

2158
02:37:45,400 --> 02:37:48,400
no matter what kind it was or what you paid for,

2159
02:37:48,400 --> 02:37:52,400
you'll like this New South Timing Tony so much better.

2160
02:37:52,400 --> 02:37:57,400
It's the easiest, fastest, purest way to the most natural wave of your life.

2161
02:37:57,400 --> 02:38:00,400
That's yours today.

2162
02:38:00,400 --> 02:38:03,400
It's the New New Tony, a South Timing Tony.

2163
02:38:03,400 --> 02:38:08,400
It's South Timing, South Timing, South Timing, South Timing Tony.

2164
02:38:08,400 --> 02:38:15,400
Well, these players stop the questions and lead all news, I guess,

2165
02:38:15,400 --> 02:38:20,400
of this third World Series game here in beautiful municipal stadium in Cleveland

2166
02:38:20,400 --> 02:38:26,400
before this great crowd this afternoon was that the Indians finally got Bessie Rhodes up.

2167
02:38:26,400 --> 02:38:31,400
In fact, they got him out twice, Ray Norlesky finding and then Don Morse.

2168
02:38:31,400 --> 02:38:37,400
Last time he was advanced in the ninth inning, the last out the Giants.

2169
02:38:37,400 --> 02:38:41,400
Before that happened, the dusty one had driven in two more runs

2170
02:38:41,400 --> 02:38:44,400
to bring his total up to that point up to seven,

2171
02:38:44,400 --> 02:38:48,400
and the record for four games is only nine held by Lou Gehrig.

2172
02:38:48,400 --> 02:38:53,400
So he was still in there swinging when he went up to pick it, and in this season

2173
02:38:53,400 --> 02:39:00,400
and in this series as a pink hitter he's gone 18-448, and that is some pink hitting.

2174
02:39:00,400 --> 02:39:05,400
And Ruben Ruben, I've been thinking that Gomez was quite a picture out there this afternoon.

2175
02:39:05,400 --> 02:39:10,400
I don't know for sure that when the Indians put on their little serve there in the eighth inning,

2176
02:39:10,400 --> 02:39:15,400
De Roche would have had to take him out, but of course he's got such a tremendous bullpen,

2177
02:39:15,400 --> 02:39:19,400
and that one fellow particularly with the way to go ball that finished up,

2178
02:39:19,400 --> 02:39:24,400
nobody gets him when he's like that much. Tony Cucinelli was over in Brooklyn

2179
02:39:24,400 --> 02:39:28,400
sitting with Tom Kean scouting the Giants, one of those teams over in Brooklyn,

2180
02:39:28,400 --> 02:39:32,400
and Hart came in, Wilhelm, and Presto Thompson, some of them sitting there,

2181
02:39:32,400 --> 02:39:37,400
and they were watching this ball, and if you ever notice it and see Weston try to catch it,

2182
02:39:37,400 --> 02:39:41,400
you have to jump at it, I think. That knuckleball just goes everywhere and anywhere.

2183
02:39:41,400 --> 02:39:47,400
So Thompson said to Cucinelli, said, Tony, maybe you better not knock that starting picture out.

2184
02:39:47,400 --> 02:39:51,400
That's the way Wilhelm finished up here this afternoon for Gomez.

2185
02:39:51,400 --> 02:39:56,400
It was a laughing game for the Giants, you might say, and right now it would look very much

2186
02:39:56,400 --> 02:40:01,400
as if they have the Indians well on the run, even here in their home to feed.

2187
02:40:01,400 --> 02:40:05,400
You know, in mid-rump, they didn't look very good. Their pitching wasn't too strong.

2188
02:40:05,400 --> 02:40:10,400
Mike Garcia, the big bear, just didn't have it this afternoon, and after Roche came in

2189
02:40:10,400 --> 02:40:16,400
and he's daily act, replacing Irving at the bat and made his big pinch hit, driving in the two runs.

2190
02:40:16,400 --> 02:40:21,400
Well, that was pretty much the ball game. Of course, Dick West finally found out how to get a ball

2191
02:40:21,400 --> 02:40:25,400
over Willie May's head. He hit it over the fence for a tremendous home run.

2192
02:40:25,400 --> 02:40:31,400
The ball was really tattooed, and that's one way the Indians can keep from leaving men on bases.

2193
02:40:31,400 --> 02:40:38,400
As things stand now, they've left more men on bases in this series than some armies have told us.

2194
02:40:38,400 --> 02:40:42,400
They have loaded them up and two on and one on right through the series,

2195
02:40:42,400 --> 02:40:47,400
but it seems almost impossible for them to get the big hit when they need it.

2196
02:40:47,400 --> 02:40:51,400
And they needed it badly this afternoon because the Giants had their hitting close on.

2197
02:40:51,400 --> 02:40:54,400
Right down the line, they were whacking that ball solidly.

2198
02:40:54,400 --> 02:41:01,400
Little Willie Mays came up with three rousing hits, good, clean hits, and Darks and all the gang,

2199
02:41:01,400 --> 02:41:08,400
Mueller, the whole bunch, were hitting that ball very well, Whitey Loughlin and West West from driving in the run.

2200
02:41:08,400 --> 02:41:13,400
And it was a team victory for the Giants with a very fine-picking job by Gomez.

2201
02:41:13,400 --> 02:41:16,400
And of course, now tomorrow, DeLotra can do put near anything.

2202
02:41:16,400 --> 02:41:20,400
He's got some other pretty good pitchers in there, and he could use them two or three at a time

2203
02:41:20,400 --> 02:41:25,400
or anything he wants to now. I don't know when an American League team,

2204
02:41:25,400 --> 02:41:29,400
I mean, a National League team ever won four straight from an American League team in the World Series.

2205
02:41:29,400 --> 02:41:34,400
I would have to go back to 1914, the Athletics and Braves, so it probably has happened since,

2206
02:41:34,400 --> 02:41:38,400
but it's been a long time. Now this broadcast is authorized under broadcasting rights
