00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
On June 16, 1957, the St. Louis Cardinals faced the Brooklyn Dodgers for a doubleheader at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,000
The cards were coached by Fred Hutchinson and entered the game with a 30-23 record.

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,000
This was the final season for the Dodgers in Brooklyn before moving to Los Angeles, and they were coached by Walt Alston.

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,000
This is game one of the twin bill featuring Brooklyn announcers Vince Cully, Jerry Doggett, and Al Helfer.

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Unfortunately, the recording of this game is missing the final out.

7
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Rest assured, there were no last-minute heroics after the tape cuts off.

8
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000
The final out was a routine ground ball to first base unassisted.

9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Enjoy the game.

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Dan Muzey will hit third. He'll be at first base.

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Dan hitting fourth, right fielder Del Annis.

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Center fielder Ken Boyer will hit fifth.

13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Dan hitting sixth will be Wally Moon in left field.

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Obie Landis will do the catching. He'll hit seventh.

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Eddie Castro will be at third base.

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
And the pitcher will be Little Murray Dixon.

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
The veteran right-hander has won three. He has lost two.

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000
He has no record with the Brooklyn Dodgers yet this year. He's on or with them.

19
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,000
On the last time, he's 18 and 28. Last year, he had a one-in-five record with Brooklyn.

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000
The batting orders are now being taken up to home plate with the umpires,

21
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Chakor, Landis, Baker, and Daskoly officiating.

22
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
It'll be Chakor behind the plate, Landis at first.

23
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Baker will be at second base and Daskoly will be at third.

24
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
For the Brooklyn Dodgers, they'll line up this way this afternoon.

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Gil Hodge is still out nursing bruised ribs.

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Gillian leads off. He'll be at second base.

27
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Hitting number two will be third baseman Pee Wee Reese.

28
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Hitting third, center fielder Duke Snyder.

29
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Elmer Fallow remains in the cleanup spot. He'll be in left field.

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000
At Gino Somoli, the right fielder, he'll be hitting fifth.

31
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Hitting sixth, Roy Campanella to catch the first game.

32
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Hitting seventh, John Roseborough will be back again at first base for his third straight day.

33
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Charlie Neal will be the shortstop and the pitcher will be young Don Drysdale.

34
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Drysdale has one fire this year, has lost three, and with St. Louis, he is 1-0.

35
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
He defeated the Cardinals 10-4 at St. Louis back on the 20th day of May

36
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
in his only previous lifetime start against them.

37
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000
He pitched out with only seven innings and ran out of gas.

38
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:24,000
In 73 innings this season, Drysdale has allowed only 60 hits with 20 walks and 58 strikeouts

39
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
and has an earned run average of 2.71.

40
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,000
His 1956 earned run average was 2.64.

41
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
The Brooklyn Dodgers coming out now to take the field.

42
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:42,000
And as the day starts, we should like to remind you that Milwaukee is riding in first place in the National League.

43
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Since the 92nd half game off the face, then comes Brooklyn and Philadelphia Tries for third and fourth.

44
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
They're two games behind.

45
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Philadelphia is actually two and a half behind.

46
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000
St. Louis is two and a half games behind.

47
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
So they are the ones that are really tied.

48
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Philadelphia and St. Louis Brooklyn standing in third place in the National League.

49
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Philadelphia and St. Louis actually tied for the three and four positions.

50
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
So we're getting ready to get this one underway.

51
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000
We're expecting a big afternoon of it, a real shape of afternoon.

52
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:21,000
And now stepping up will be a down blessing game to lead things off for St. Louis as Don Drysdale has taken the mound.

53
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Drysdale throwing a few pitches down to get the feel of it.

54
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Frank Secoy the plate umpire standing just outside waiting to call the first batter up.

55
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,000
And on this fine, sun shiny afternoon with a slight wind blowing in from the hard right field,

56
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,000
we're going to get the first game of this doubleheader started.

57
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
This will be the getaway set of games for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

58
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,000
They'll be showing up for a game tomorrow night with the Mild League leading Cincinnati Redlegs.

59
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:51,000
And stepping up to the microphone to bring us the play-by-play for the F&M Shape of Brewing Company Brooklyn on this first game of the doubleheader.

60
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Here's the guy who has just said that this is the greatest day he has ever seen.

61
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Vince Goff.

62
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Thank you. Hi everybody.

63
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,000
And it sure is.

64
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:06,000
We certainly hope things are going just right for you, whatever you may be, for things are just fine right here.

65
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Don Blasingame, Alvin Dark, and Stan Musial.

66
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Should anybody get on, maybe we'll see Dell in it.

67
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
We have a lot of Indians around the ballpark today.

68
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Just to add to the proceedings, we'll tell you about them.

69
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Members of the Shinnecock Tribe who will put on a tribal war dance in between games.

70
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:28,000
They gave out tomahawks to manager Austin, Peewee Reese, and our good friend Jim Murray.

71
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000
And also a big Indian headdress to Herbie Sharpman, the photographer.

72
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Fastball to Don Blasingame in for the strike on one.

73
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:45,000
I wish I could find the big chief of the Shinnecock's in between games while we'd have them do the, well, not the rain dance, the cool weather dance.

74
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000
If you know any Shinnecock Indians, give them a call.

75
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,000
The strike one, the surprising game is outside, one ball, one strike.

76
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Let's make a pact, okay?

77
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
From now on, it's just a nice day.

78
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,000
It's not too hot, not too cold, it's just right.

79
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Just try and forget all about it.

80
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Blasingame batting 298.

81
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Two home runs, 28 RBIs.

82
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Dyesdale ready and the right-handed delivers.

83
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Fastball fouled away, one and two.

84
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Nice crowd on hand.

85
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,000
And friends, if you're anywhere in the vicinity of the ballpark and you decided, well, not too much to do around the house,

86
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,000
well, we still have seats for you out in left field in the shade of the upper deck.

87
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,000
A nice breeze beginning to ripple up from back of the right field corner and slanting over to left.

88
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,000
I'd like to have you with us.

89
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Dyesdale checking signs with Campanella, one and two, the count to Don Blasingame.

90
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Dyesdale ready and the overhand curve cut on and this strike three and that thing looks sharply down at Blasingame's feet.

91
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Oh, Don Dyesdale starts off on the right foot, strikes out Don Blasingame and it brings up Alvin Dye.

92
00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Alvin Dye batting 315 with two home runs, 26 runs batted in.

93
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Dyesdale ready and delivers and the curve over for the strike on one.

94
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Frank Sakoi, the plate umpire, Stan Landis at first, Bill Baker at second, Frank Daskoly on the line at third.

95
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,000
He knows with two X National League managers in the coaching line.

96
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Strike one, Pitch to Dark, fastball, a line drive foul outside of first, on two.

97
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Mr. Terry Moore coaching at first, one of the truly great fielding centerfielders of all time.

98
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:43,000
And around at third, a great third baseman, the smilingest man in the National League I guess, Stan Hax.

99
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:54,000
On two to Alvin Dark, one out on the first, no score on deck, Stan Musial.

100
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Dyesdale ready and the strike two, Pitch, fastball at the knees, call, strike three.

101
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:10,000
So Mr. Dyesdale has chopped down two men, Blasingame and Dark on strikes.

102
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Stan Musial being announced to the crowd and gets an ovation.

103
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Hey, Spiderfellas.

104
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Stan might tear the walls down, but they like him very much over here in Brooklyn.

105
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000
He's batting.357 with 13 home runs, 47 runs batted in.

106
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Fastball hit to the hole and through and Mr. Stan is hitting 15 straight, not do.

107
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,000
A Musial single strike with two out on the first inning.

108
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Hey, somehow you might have missed it.

109
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Waves and Ray Krohn, Danny O'Connell and Bobby Thompson to the Giants and the Giants sent off a redhead, Mr. Chamedeep to Milwaukee.

110
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Understand Ray Krohn is going to be put right into service today, playing the pitch for the Giants.

111
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Stan Musial in first, two out and Dell enters the batter.

112
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Dell hitting.257, Dyesdale ready and the fastball is low, ball one.

113
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
And this was eight home runs, 35 runs batted in.

114
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:14,000
You figured out the Braves, of course, this is more or less what the people around baseball would certainly call a one-year move.

115
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:21,000
It's not anything for the great future, but the Braves want to win so badly this year, so they made the deal.

116
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,000
The one-on-fifth tennis is golfed at and hit up along third foul, one and one.

117
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Meanwhile, the Giants get Danny O'Connell and they'll probably play him at third.

118
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Danny's played second, short and third and I think most people would agree he's better at third base.

119
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Here Bobby Thompson to play in the outfield.

120
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:46,000
And they have a fine young pitcher, Mr. Ray Krohn, who could very well be the sleeper in the deal.

121
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:51,000
The one-on-fifth tennis, curveball, fouled away again outside of third, one and two.

122
00:08:51,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Allen Northen going back through Stan Musial's private war against Brooklyn pitching, finds that that base hit the right field was his second single, that's all, against Brooklyn this year.

123
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,000
He has hit four doubles and two home runs.

124
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Fastball hit to the hole and flew in the left field for the base hit.

125
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Vallow comes on to field it and so Delennis singles to left.

126
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Drysdale at the striking out blasting game in dark now gives up consecutive singles to Musial and Ennis.

127
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Kenny Boyer batting 2.49. He has six home runs, 19 runs batted in.

128
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Playing center field, doing a good job.

129
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:49,000
It's amazing the Cardinals had two of the more prominent young rookies breaking into the National League at one time, both in center field.

130
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,000
And you figured, well, their problems there were certainly solved.

131
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Instead, Rapulski, the left fielder, he went.

132
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Bill Burton, who was the fine center fielder, he left.

133
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Wally Moon, who was the fine center fielder, is now on left.

134
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,000
So the third baseman, the all-star third baseman, Kenny Boyer is now the center fielder for the Cardinals.

135
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Fastball lined to left field, Vallow comes on, it's in for the base hit.

136
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Here's Musial around third coming to the plate. He'll score easily.

137
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:22,000
And so with two out, the Cardinals hit Drysdale for three consecutive base hits and they have a run.

138
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Boyer singles to left.

139
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Musial scoring one-nothing Cardinals.

140
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
All right, the batter is Wally Moon.

141
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Drysdale delivers fastball for the strike on one.

142
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Moon batting 280 as 12 home runs, 31 runs batted in.

143
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Dell at the second base, Kenny Boyer at first.

144
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Musial over with the run.

145
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:59,000
So after striking out Blazingaim and Dye, the Cardinals come up with three consecutive base hits.

146
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Drysdale turns on the rubber, now he's ready. The strike one fits, change up, cut on is a high pop fly.

147
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Charlie Neal backing out on the grass.

148
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Vallow charging in, Neal is calling and makes the play.

149
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,000
On the top of the first inning, the Cardinals come up with one run on three hits, all with two out, and they lead two men.

150
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,000
At the end of half an inning, the Cardinals won and the Dodgers will be coming up.

151
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Then ready for the last half of the first inning, old boy.

152
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Okay, Jim Gilliam, Beewee Reece, and Duke Snyder, last of the first one-nothing Cardinals.

153
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Murray Dixon, been right hot on this Eastern swing for St. Laura's.

154
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,000
He has three consecutive complete game victories.

155
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,000
He leads the majors.

156
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000
I wonder why I got that line. Hold it.

157
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,000
The first pitch now to Gilliam is outside, ball one.

158
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:57,000
He beat, let's see, seven to one at Milwaukee, six nothing at Pittsburgh, five-two at Philadelphia.

159
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,000
He's not started against Brooklyn this year.

160
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Murray Dixon against Don Drysdale in the first game and Willard Schmidt going in the second.

161
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Dixon ready, Murray delivers one-oh, and the pitch is cut on and filed away, one-on-one.

162
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Murray Dixon, of course, a fine pitcher with the Cardinals, then with Pittsburgh.

163
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
He used to throw just about every pitch in the book.

164
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:29,000
He threw fastballs, curveballs, sliders, change-ups, screwballs, knuckleballs.

165
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,000
You come up with it, he had it, sinkers.

166
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Now he's more or less staying with the knucklers.

167
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Knuckler dancing outside, ball two, two-and-one.

168
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Cincinnati did not score in the first inning, so the Giants hit back now.

169
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Two-and-one, the count to Jim Gilliam.

170
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Dixon ready and delivers.

171
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Knuckler and his a line drive to right field, it's a clean base hit.

172
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Jim Gilliam opens up and jumps on a knuckleball and singles to right.

173
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000
The Dodgers were quite surprised.

174
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
They faced Dixon one time in relief.

175
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,000
He got two men out.

176
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,000
And they noticed that night out at St. Louis, and they fonded Dixon a little bit, too,

177
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,000
the fact that all he threw were knuckleballs.

178
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,000
We'll see if they can guess correctly, and if that's all he's throwing,

179
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,000
the Dodger book will have to be changed on Murray Dixon.

180
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Gilliam inching off the bag at first and usual holding as Reese steps in batting 232.

181
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Dixon ready, there's the knuckler, makes him move out of there, ball one, one-and-oh.

182
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Reese has one home run.

183
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Six RBIs.

184
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Eddie Casco on the edge of the infield grass at first.

185
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Dixon's traveling the rubber, now gets up on top.

186
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,000
One-nulling Cardinals, last of the first inning.

187
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
It's a high up fly, going out is Dark.

188
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,000
It could be a little bit of trouble as he makes a complete turn coming in as Boyer to help out,

189
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,000
but Boyer just watches now as Dark takes it.

190
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Alvin going out into left center, making a complete turn to make the play.

191
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:25,000
One out and here's the do.

192
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Good batting, 256.

193
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:33,000
He has 11 home runs, 26 runs batted in.

194
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,000
On deck, Elmavalo.

195
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:42,000
The infield way over shifted around toward first, Dark over to his left to plug up the middle.

196
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000
The outfield deep to right.

197
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Knuckler, the line drive, deep to right field is going to be halfway up the screen.

198
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,000
The ball is finally fielded by Ennis, holding at third is Gilliam Snyder.

199
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Slides at second, he's out at second.

200
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Oh, Duke Snyder is out at second base on a strong throw by Del Ennis.

201
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:16,000
To second baseman Don Blasingame, and going around to third base is Jim Gilliam.

202
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,000
It gives Snyder a base hit and he's outstretching.

203
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Gilliam advancing to third on the play.

204
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Gilliam going, but nevertheless the ball had hit and came right back into Del Ennis' hands,

205
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:40,000
and Junior had no chance to come to the plate.

206
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Two down, Gilliam at third base, and Elmavalo the batter, hitting 346.

207
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:52,000
He has four of the eyes.

208
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Dixon ready, winds and delivers, Knuckler low and inside, and Landryd is fighting that baseball to death.

209
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,000
I tell you, do you ever see a goalkeeper in hockey?

210
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Hobie's doing everything possible to prevent it from squirting through to the backstop

211
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,000
and then of course allowing Gilliam to come over.

212
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Oh, what a battle he's giving that ball.

213
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Ball players call it boxing a few.

214
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
The 1-0 pitch to Landryd.

215
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Knuckler outside and Hobie stayed with it to grab it, ball two.

216
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Landryd looks into the dugout, just shakes his head and gets back behind the plate.

217
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Elmavalo waiting, two and all to count.

218
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Gilliam at third base, we're in the bottom of the first inning.

219
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Cardinals one, Dodgers trying to pick up a run and tie it up.

220
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Dixon staring in, now Murray's ready, looks to Gilliam, the 2-0 pitch to Elmavalo.

221
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Fastball cut on and a little pop-up, just up along third, coming down for it is Casco and makes the play.

222
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,000
So Elmavalo pops up to Eddie Casco and the Dodgers have their bid denied.

223
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,000
In the first inning, no runs, two hits.

224
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
One man left on as Snyder is outstretching.

225
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,000
At the end of one inning, the Cardinals one, the Dodgers nothing.

226
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Dyesdale ready and delivers.

227
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Fastball cut on and missed for a strike, and I imagine Hobie up there now hitting.

228
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,000
It must be a pleasure to him to see a fastball.

229
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000
After handling Murray Dixon's knucklers throughout the first inning.

230
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Hobie batting 182, he has four runs batted in.

231
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Dyesdale back again, the overhand curve misses outside one and one.

232
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Say before we were talking to you about the Milwaukee Braves and the New York Giants trade,

233
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,000
and it's conceivable with a lot of folks perhaps getting up very early this morning and heading out,

234
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000
you might have missed the Yankee trade.

235
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000
The 1-1 pitch, fastball cut on is a high foul.

236
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:45,000
To the left of the plate, Campadella is calling as he shields his eyes from the glare and makes the play.

237
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Well, not one away.

238
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Well, the Yankees in Kansas City had themselves another trade.

239
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:57,000
The Yankees sent to Kansas City, second baseman Billy Martin, infielder, outfielder Woody Held,

240
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,000
who played the infield a great deal at Denver but during the spring played a lot of center field.

241
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
He has a fine arm.

242
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Ralph Terry, a young pitcher, and Bob Martin, N-A-R-T-Y-N,

243
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:13,000
whom the Yankees I think considered the second fastest man on the squad, back of mantle, an outfielder.

244
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Now I'll tell you who the Yankees got from Kansas City.

245
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,000
The pitch to Eddie Casco is down low, ball one.

246
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,000
The Yankees got Harry Simpson.

247
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Harry had a rough spring.

248
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
He had chipped a bone and his ankle was out quite a while.

249
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,000
He's an infielder and outfielder, place first base when he's in the infield.

250
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,000
The 1-0 pitch to Eddie Casco, fastball missing, ball two.

251
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Reinal Duren, and of course that's a name to strike fear in the hearts of any batter.

252
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:45,000
He is very, very fast, but he also has, well, not too good eyesight.

253
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Very wild.

254
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,000
The 2-0 pitch to Casco, fastball, bounce-away foul, 2-1.

255
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000
So Harry Simpson, then Reinal Duren, the Yankees faced Duren this year,

256
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,000
and Gil McDougal came up with quite a quote about Duren.

257
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,000
McDougal said Duren's going to beat a lot of clubs just using fear psychology.

258
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Gil, of course, honest enough to admit that you are afraid up there when a fellow throws that hard

259
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,000
and you're not too sure where the ball's going.

260
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:16,000
2-1 pitch to the curve outside, ball three, 3-1.

261
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,000
The Yankees also got a young outfielder who played some shadow field for Kansas City,

262
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Jim Frisone out of the Texas League, and they got an infielder,

263
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,000
played a lot of second base by the name of Milt Graff, G-R-A-F-F.

264
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:34,000
3-1 pitch to fastball low, ball four, so Eddie Casco walked with one out in the second inning,

265
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000
Cardinals leading 1-0.

266
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
So thumbnail sketches on the men.

267
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,000
To Kansas City, Billy Martin, Woody Hill, Ralph Terry, and Bob Martin.

268
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:55,000
From Kansas City to the Yankees, Harry Simpson, Reinal Duren, Jim Frisone, and Milt Graff.

269
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Murray Dixon, not a bad hitting pitcher, hitting.222 with four runs batted in,

270
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,000
up there with one out, and Eddie Casco at first base.

271
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Cardinals have a run, Dodgers nothing.

272
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:11,000
We're in the second inning, the first game of a double header, a big day in baseball.

273
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Geisdale already takes a peek at first, whirls and fires over there, and Casco's back.

274
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:21,000
Eddie's fast, the Dodgers know about him.

275
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Geisdale turns on the rubber now and goes set.

276
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,000
The pitch to Dixon, sidearm fastball over for the strike on one.

277
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,000
Cincinnati at bat at the Polar Grounds have already picked up three runs.

278
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:38,000
They are still swinging and lead the Giants 3-0 in the second.

279
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,000
It's 2-1, Milwaukee over the Phillies at the end of five,

280
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
and 2-0 Cubs over Pirates at the end of four and a half.

281
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Strike one pitch is bounced slowly down to Gilliam,

282
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,000
with players at second, they get the force, the throw to first is not in time.

283
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,000
Small wasn't it sharply enough to get the double play.

284
00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Fourth play, four to six.

285
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Two down in the second inning in the batter, leadoff man Don Brazingame,

286
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000
who struck out in the first inning.

287
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Went after a sharp curve that drove right down at his feet.

288
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Brazingame forgot his helmet, so he has to go back to the Cardinal dugout now and get one.

289
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Don batting 2-97.

290
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:23,000
He's had a fine series, especially defensively, before he's been all over the field.

291
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:28,000
The pitch is caught on a comeback here, and Drysdale stays with the hot one and throws him out at first.

292
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,000
One bouncer right at the right side of Drysdale's ribs and he made his play.

293
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,000
One to three.

294
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000
For the Cardinals in the second inning, no runs, no hits, they leave a man.

295
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,000
At the end of an inning and a half, the Cardinals won and Brooklyn nothing.

296
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,000
Now we're going to the last half, with Vinnie number two right here on the shape of broadcast.

297
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Addiction back to the mound for the St. Louis Cardinals.

298
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,000
They're leading in the ball game one to nothing.

299
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,000
They have one run on three hits.

300
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Brooklyn no runs on two hits.

301
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Brooklyn's first man will be Gino Cimelli, then Roy Campanon, then Johnny Rose Burroughs.

302
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Vinnie, it's going to be something this afternoon, be a doubleheader, nice one.

303
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,000
I was just thinking while you were talking to the folks out and we had the thoughts or kept looking it up.

304
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000
It came very close.

305
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Murray Dixon will be 41 years old in August.

306
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,000
That's a warm day here in New York.

307
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:27,000
You know that Murray Dixon was pitching professional baseball when Don Drysdale was one year old.

308
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000
That's something, isn't it?

309
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Murray's quite a man that you could stay in the kind of shape he's in.

310
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,000
The boys say, oh, when he reports to spring fanny all this, do take a shower and a shave and he's about ready.

311
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000
No, I'm not looking at you.

312
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,000
I think you were.

313
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
No, no, no.

314
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Heavens to Betsy.

315
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Gino Cimelli batting 339.

316
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,000
He has eight home runs, 25 runs batted in.

317
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,000
One nothing Cardinals bottom of the second.

318
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Cimelli, Campanella and Rose Burroughs.

319
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Dixon ready now and knuckles the first one way high right at Cimelli's helmet and Gino just dances away from it.

320
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:09,000
401.

321
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Drysdale was born in 36.

322
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Dixon was pitching in 37.

323
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
The one on pitch to Cimelli.

324
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
It's cut on a bouncer by the mound down to dark.

325
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,000
It takes it on a big hop close to first and that's it for Cimelli.

326
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,000
One up, one away.

327
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,000
We'll send three games from Cincinnati.

328
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000
Monday night, June the 17th.

329
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Wednesday night, June the 19th.

330
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,000
And Thursday night, June the 20th from Cincinnati, all three.

331
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,000
The air time, 8.55 for each game.

332
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Then a week from Monday, Monday night, June the 24th from St. Louis.

333
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Air time, 8.55.

334
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Wednesday night, June the 26th from Milwaukee.

335
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Air time, 8.55.

336
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,000
And Sunday afternoon, June the 30th, the first game of a doubleheader from Chicago.

337
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Air time, 1.55.

338
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Cavadala up there swings at the first pitch and loops it to center.

339
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Kenny Boyer had no jump on the ball.

340
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,000
It's going to drop in front of him for the base hit.

341
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Boyer seemed to just freeze momentarily.

342
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Perhaps he lost the ball in the white shirt background.

343
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Delayed its start and the ball had dropped in for the singles.

344
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Head off, Murray Dixon.

345
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Remember, all those televised ball games will be sent back to you on WOR TV, Channel 9,

346
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:37,000
and of course all Dodger games, day and night, home and away, on WMGM Radio

347
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,000
and the Brooklyn Dodgers radio network.

348
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:45,000
So we'll be talking to you while we're away.

349
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Johnny Ruinsborough batting 125.

350
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000
John has one base hit in the major leagues.

351
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Mike Bunt against Lindy McDaniel, Friday night's game.

352
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Dixon's knuckleball is on the outside corner for a strike, 0-1.

353
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000
One out, bottom of the second inning.

354
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Cardinals 1, Dodgers nothing.

355
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Roy Campanella at first base.

356
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000
0-1 to Johnny Ruinsborough.

357
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:11,000
On deck, Charlie Neal.

358
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Dixon's bat to strike one pitch.

359
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Knuckleball cut on and missed, 0-2.

360
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000
Murray has to count his way now, Roseborough waiting.

361
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:44,000
The strike two pitch to John, got that and missed, strike three and down he goes.

362
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:51,000
I think maybe it sounds like nothing to me if I keep saying the knuckleball, knuckleball, knuckleball.

363
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,000
It bothers you all, I'll stop using it for a while.

364
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Maybe it does.

365
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:05,000
If we're going to flinch on a hot day like today, we're not trying to get anybody mad.

366
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,000
So we'll just say Dixon pitches for a while, the very thing.

367
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Neal batting 273.

368
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Murray delivers and it's outside, 4-1.

369
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Neal, we have two home runs, 13 runs batted in.

370
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Dixon at first, two out on the second inning, Cardinals one, Dodgers nothing.

371
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Dixon checking signs, Murray ready, delivers and the 1-0 pitch is outside, ball two, 2-0.

372
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000
The Dodgers had two base hits in the first inning.

373
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Gilliams singled and after Reese had popped out, Snyder hit the screen and right.

374
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Delenis threw a strike to second, Snyder was out and Gilliam had to hold it first.

375
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,000
And then Vallow popped up.

376
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Here in the second inning, Sandwich in between outs, Campanella single to center.

377
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,000
Count to Charlie, Neal two balls and no strikes.

378
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Dixon ready and the 2-0 pitch to Charlie, cut on and missed, 2-1.

379
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Dixon ready and decides to throw to first, Campanella's back.

380
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:45,000
Two out on the second, Cardinals one, Dodgers nothing, first game of a double header.

381
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Dixon delivers 2-1 and the pitch is cut on and bounced down to Blasding game.

382
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Who's up with it cleanly, goes to Musial and that's it.

383
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Play going 4-3.

384
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:59,000
In the second inning, no runs, one hit, a man left on.

385
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,000
The other two innings are played, the Cardinals one, the Dodgers nothing.

386
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Right now, Rex Rickard is making an announcement.

387
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
We're not too sure if we can pick up his words.

388
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,000
We know what he's going to say, but we'll just fill you in on it.

389
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,000
Rex is now making the announcement to the folks here at Everett Field that this is Father's Day

390
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:21,000
and we certainly want to welcome all the pappies who are here at the ballpark.

391
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
We have our own pappy at the control.

392
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:30,000
And we have a special Father's Day section in the upper deck, section 17, 19, and 20.

393
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:37,000
And now we have a round of applause for all the dads here at the ballpark.

394
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:42,000
On that corner up there in the upper deck are some of the greatest athletes of all time.

395
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:46,000
No doubt telling their sons just how they did it years ago.

396
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000
And the sons just as proud as they can be.

397
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,000
It makes quite a picture.

398
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Section 17, 19, and 20, we ought to kind of wrap them up a little bit.

399
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,000
There's a special crowd today.

400
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,000
It would be nice if there were a couple of old, nice, easy high fouls up there

401
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,000
and some fathers make the catch.

402
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,000
That's a great thing to see at a ballpark, to see a father catch the ball

403
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
and turn his hand to his son and say, see what I mean?

404
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
I used to do that all the time.

405
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Well, we got anything new on the scoreboard?

406
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Well, I babble away here.

407
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,000
What about when a little eight-year-old boy catches one hand to his dad

408
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000
and says, Pop, this is for you?

409
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000
I'd say the least.

410
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Cincinnati in the Giants at the end of an inning and a half.

411
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Cincinnati 3 to Giants nothing.

412
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,000
At the end of six innings and a half, it is 2-1 Milwaukee over Philadelphia.

413
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,000
First game of the doublehead.

414
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,000
All right, then.

415
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Okay, we'll get a few more scores in as dark fouls are pitched away.

416
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,000
0-1.

417
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Cubs and the Pirates, it's 2-1 Chicago at the end of five and a half innings.

418
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,000
In the American League, not much to report yet.

419
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000
Don't think we're trying to slight the American League,

420
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,000
but the Eastern team's about west.

421
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,000
Again, with the time difference at all, we don't have too much to report.

422
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Yankees at Kansas City, they're not even warming up yet.

423
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Dyesdale ready now, delivers to dark.

424
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:02,000
Changeup is hit off the hands foul outside of first base, 0-2.

425
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Washington and the White Sox are playing a doubleheader.

426
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,000
That just started.

427
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Ramos against Wilson.

428
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,000
And Washington did not score in the first inning.

429
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,000
First of two, Baltimore and Cleveland.

430
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,000
Johnson and Mossy.

431
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:17,000
Three to two in favor of Baltimore at the end of three and a half innings.

432
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Dyesdale ready to strike two pitch.

433
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,000
A changeup, reach for and tap down to short.

434
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Charlie Neal has the hurry.

435
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
His off balance, throw is in time.

436
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Nice play by Charlie.

437
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Dark way out and caught on the chain, just kind of tapped it by the mound.

438
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Neal, who was deep, had to charge and just seemed to risk that ball over to first base.

439
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,000
So dark is out, short to first.

440
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,000
One up, one away, and here's Mr. Mugell.

441
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Dan batting a cool 360.

442
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,000
He's single to right in the first inning.

443
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:51,000
He has hit in 15 straight games.

444
00:30:51,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Dyesdale changes up and misses low and inside for one.

445
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
Dyesdale ready, one-oh pitch to Mugell.

446
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Fastball, foul away, one and one.

447
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Philadelphia Phillies have come to life in the bottom of the seventh inning.

448
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:19,000
They have pushed over a run to tie the Braves two and two, and the Phillies are still at bat.

449
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,000
So we'll watch that for you.

450
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:26,000
And any further report, gladly pass it along.

451
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Dyesdale delivers.

452
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,000
Fastball hit to Neal's right.

453
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Charlie up with it.

454
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,000
He has to make a long throw.

455
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,000
It's in time.

456
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Oh, my goodness, Mr. Neal.

457
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,000
You know that fellow can play shortstop?

458
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,000
He made two plays right there that were just about telling he can do it.

459
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,000
He had to charge a slow ground ball that got dark and flipped it to first.

460
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,000
And that time he had been over-shifted near the bag at second, had to go to his right,

461
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,000
and had to throw from the grass and got Mugell.

462
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Two out.

463
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,000
Here's Dyesdale Ennis, who is single to left.

464
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,000
Dyesdale batting 261.

465
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,000
Dyesdale delivers.

466
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Fastball line drive off Charlie Neal's glove and on out into left field.

467
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Charlie tied a backhand to Bullitt and couldn't do it.

468
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,000
They probably would have elected him mayor if he had held onto that one.

469
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Okay, Ennis singles to left, and he ripped that one.

470
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,000
That's his second hit.

471
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,000
Hit number four for St. Louis.

472
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,000
And the batter, Kenny Boyer.

473
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Campanella had something to say to Dyesdale before Boyer came up.

474
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Well, remember, it was two out on the first inning and runners at first and second.

475
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Boyer's single to left, and Campanella appeared to be a little upset at whatever Dyesdale had thrown

476
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000
or where he had put it.

477
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000
And Dyesdale seemed to agree with Campanella.

478
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,000
He was a little bit mad at himself for the base hit drove in the run.

479
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,000
So let's see how they work on Kenny now.

480
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Boyer batting 253.

481
00:32:53,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Dyesdale ready and delivers overhand curve, low and outside, ball one.

482
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000
Breeze has picked up a bit.

483
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Kind of nice out here at the park now, coming from right field corner,

484
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,000
slanting over to left.

485
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:14,000
The 1-0 pitch to Boyer, fast ball, missing outside, ball two, 2-0.

486
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:26,000
A lot of blue skies up above. Nice to have them with you.

487
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
2-0.

488
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Dyesdale ready, checks first.

489
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,000
The 2-0 pitch, curve outside and backhanded nicely by Campanella.

490
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:41,000
That thing was heading for the backstop, ball three.

491
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Nice crowd on hand today. It is not capacity, anything like that.

492
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,000
There are some scattered empty seats in left field.

493
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,000
Nevertheless, it's a nice turnout.

494
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,000
Glad to have the folks here to kind of say goodbye to Brooklyn.

495
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Be going out on their second Western trip right after the double header.

496
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,000
3-0 pitch, a fast ball at the knees for ball four.

497
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,000
So with 2-0, Kenny Boyer draws a walk.

498
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Dyesdale is advancing to second.

499
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Dyesdale having the 2-0 blues.

500
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Moon came over in the first inning with two outages and jam here in the third as Wally Moon comes up.

501
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Moon pops a short in the first inning.

502
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,000
By the way, we're happy to announce our Schaefer Award winners.

503
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,000
And the young man at shortstop who's been writing his name in capital letters defensively today,

504
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Mr. Charlie Neal, is one of the two award winners.

505
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,000
The other pitcher, Eddie Robuck.

506
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:36,000
The 1-0 pitch to Wally Moon is a fast ball and a bounce into the seats off third.

507
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:43,000
0-1.

508
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,000
Moon batting 279.

509
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,000
Cardinals 1, Dodgers nothing.

510
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,000
We're in the top of the third inning, two out.

511
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Del Ennis at second.

512
00:34:51,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Kenny Boyer at first.

513
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Dyesdale ready and the strike one pitch.

514
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Moon swings and misses 0-2.

515
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,000
I think Moon had guessed correctly that time.

516
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,000
I don't know whether he just guessed at it or what.

517
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,000
But Wally started to move up in the hitters box as if he expected the change and he got it.

518
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:24,000
He swung and missed 0-2 to count.

519
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,000
Dyesdale staring in.

520
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,000
Runners inching away from first and second.

521
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:50,000
The strike two pitch, curve ball inside and low ball one, one and two.

522
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:54,000
The one and two pitch to Wally Moon, cut on a bouncing ball hit to Jim Gilliam,

523
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,000
awaits for Roseborough to get to the bag, then hits him with his throw.

524
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,000
So Moon goes out second to first.

525
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:04,000
In the third inning, no runs, one hit, two men left on.

526
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,000
The Cardinals have got five now and they have three innings.

527
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,000
At the end of two and a half innings of play, the Cardinals won Brooklyn nothing.

528
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:14,000
And as we're being serenaded by Miss Gladys Gooding in the background, let's listen to Ralph.

529
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,000
Oh, fans, what would you say it takes to make a great ball player?

530
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Lots of natural talent?

531
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Oh, sure, that's the material the coaches work with.

532
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,000
But what else?

533
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Ah, you guessed it, experience.

534
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:30,000
Well, you know it takes a thing, combination, fine materials, plus experience,

535
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,000
to make a great beer, Schaeffer beer.

536
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,000
You bet, the Schaeffer people choose rich barley malt and tangy hops,

537
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,000
another fine natural ingredient.

538
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,000
Then they put real old-time brewing skill to work,

539
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,000
skill that's been perfected in 115 years of experience.

540
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:51,000
The result, oh man, for that answer, you just sip a cold golden amber glass of Schaeffer.

541
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:57,000
It's beer at its best, beer that gives you the lively, satisfying flavor you want but don't always find.

542
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:04,000
So remember, fans, when you want real enjoyment, you have a cool foaming glass of Schaeffer beer.

543
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,000
It's real beer.

544
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Now, number 53, Don Drysdale.

545
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Now we go to the last half.

546
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,000
At any number three, Don Drysdale will be the first man up for the Brooklyn Dodgers,

547
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:23,000
and then we'll jump off to the top for batting order for Gilliam and pick up Reese.

548
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Right now, let's pick up Vinn.

549
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Well, while we have a chance before Drysdale comes up,

550
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:32,000
we'd like to say hello and a big, fat welcome to a happy group of folks sitting in the upper deck,

551
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,000
halfway between home plate and first place.

552
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:38,000
Members of the Chamber of Commerce of Southampton, Long Island,

553
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,000
then we certainly greet them and hope they have a fine day.

554
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:46,000
The folks from Southampton are with us.

555
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:51,000
Drysdale, Jim Gilliam, and Peewee Reese, bottom of the third, one nothing Cardinals.

556
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Drysdale is 0 for 22.

557
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Dixon delivers and the first pitch, cut out and fouled away on one.

558
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,000
That was not the you-know-what.

559
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:09,000
Looked more like a curveball.

560
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Dixon pouring at the dirt in front of the rubber.

561
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:16,000
Cardinals have run on four hits, but there's no runs on three hits.

562
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,000
We're in the bottom of the third.

563
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,000
There's the knuckleball.

564
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:28,000
We'll say it now, and that's inside, one and one.

565
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Dixon just staring into Hobie Landry.

566
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Now Murray's ready.

567
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,000
The 1-1 pitch to Drysdale, cut on.

568
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,000
There's a little fly ball in the shallow right center that could be trouble.

569
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:46,000
Don Blasey game out, but it got behind him, and Drysdale safely on with his first hit of the year.

570
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,000
Don Blasey game knew the ball was going to be trouble.

571
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:53,000
He was charging out there, and the ball landed behind him.

572
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:59,000
He was running with his back to home plate.

573
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:05,000
So Don Drysdale, after 22 futal attempts, comes up with a base hit.

574
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,000
Little looper in the right center.

575
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:11,000
That's hit number four for Brooklyn, and it brings up Jim Gilliam,

576
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,000
who's singled a right in the first inning and got around as far as third.

577
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:23,000
Jim batting 247.

578
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,000
Dixon checking signs now.

579
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Drysdale inching off the bag at first.

580
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,000
Musial not holding.

581
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,000
He's back of the runner.

582
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Dixon delivers.

583
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,000
Gilliam tries to punt and piles it away on one.

584
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,000
Jim not trying to drag a bunny.

585
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,000
He's going to dump it up along third.

586
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:43,000
0-1 to count.

587
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:50,000
Dodger fans begin a little hand clapping now in the background.

588
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,000
Gilliam waiting.

589
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,000
0-1 to count.

590
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Dixon ready to strike one pitch.

591
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Cut on and dribbled away foul on a full cut. 0-2.

592
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,000
The Phillies are still out down there in the seventh inning.

593
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,000
They have scored a run against Milwaukee's Granny Henry at a home run.

594
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,000
They would make it 2-2.

595
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,000
No further reports.

596
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,000
Cincinnati 3 Giants nothing at the end of 2-1 half innings.

597
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Strike two pitch is cut on and missed.

598
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Passed by Landriff.

599
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,000
The first base is occupied so there's no need for a throw.

600
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Gilliam strikes out.

601
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,000
One out and leaps the batter.

602
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Peewee popped up the short in the first inning.

603
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:43,000
0-1 batting 2-29.

604
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Dixon looks out.

605
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Alvin Dark has made a sign to him.

606
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,000
And if you read the sign correctly, Dark put his glove to his chest.

607
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:55,000
That means that Alvin will be covering the bag at second if there's a play.

608
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,000
Dysdale emptying off first.

609
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,000
Dixon ready.

610
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,000
Murray delivers to Reese.

611
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Peewee swings and doesn't get it. 0-1.

612
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:09,000
You know there's a lot of guesswork around second base when a batter like Reese is up there.

613
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,000
I figure he might be playing hit and run.

614
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:16,000
But a hit and run man doesn't necessarily have to hit behind the runner.

615
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:21,000
In this case, Dark's figuring that maybe Peewee will so he'd cover the bag.

616
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,000
I'm guessing all the time in this game.

617
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:28,000
That's what makes it so tough.

618
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,000
Dixon ready.

619
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Takes a look at Dysdale.

620
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,000
The strike one pitch to Peewee.

621
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,000
In the dirt.

622
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,000
Jumps away from Landriff.

623
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,000
And there goes Dysdale.

624
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,000
He's around second.

625
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,000
Makes a big turn.

626
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,000
Hesitates halfway.

627
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,000
Swift.

628
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,000
And he's in trouble.

629
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,000
They're going to hang him up.

630
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,000
Landriff throws to second.

631
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,000
Big Don goes diving back like a rag doll and he's in.

632
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:52,000
You know who we just saw between second and third?

633
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,000
Ichabod Crane.

634
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,000
My goodness.

635
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,000
That's just who he looked like.

636
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,000
If you ever studied English in school.

637
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Ichabod Crane.

638
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,000
Oh my.

639
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:08,000
Don Dysdale, 6 feet 5 and about 3 foot 8 of him was going to third.

640
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:12,000
And about 2 foot 7 was going the other way.

641
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:19,000
He almost twisted himself right out of his uniform and big lanky Don finally dove back on his desk and made it.

642
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,000
The wild pitch got him to second.

643
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000
Boy did he look funny.

644
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,000
Excuse me but it was funny.

645
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,000
Alright.

646
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,000
One ball and one strike to Peewee.

647
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,000
The dirtiest pitcher on the Dodger staff right now is Don Dysdale at second.

648
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,000
The pitch to Reese is cut on and missed.

649
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,000
One and two.

650
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:45,000
The knuckle ball went in the dirt, jumped right between the feet of Landriff and went all the way back to the backstop.

651
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:52,000
Dysdale started to stop at second, picked up, continued on and actually got halfway between second and third.

652
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,000
He then made up his mind he had better get back to second and stumbled.

653
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:01,000
So Landriff started to run the ball back to the infield staring at the pitcher making him commit himself.

654
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:08,000
And then he fired just a little to the right of the bag and Dysdale did a swan dive and that's a cool way to describe a swan.

655
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,000
But he made it back.

656
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:14,000
The one and two pitch to Reese is cut on a bounce to the eddy casco at third.

657
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:19,000
He'll hold Dysdale and throws in the dirt and Mugil can't dig it out.

658
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Reese is safely on at first and Dysdale remains at second.

659
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:41,000
Oh, the official scorer figures that Mugil with his glove flat in the dirt should have still been able to come up with it and stands on the arrow.

660
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Oh, it's quite an inning.

661
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,000
There's a meeting at the mound now.

662
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,000
Dysdale at second.

663
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,000
Reese at first.

664
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,000
One out in the bottom of the third inning.

665
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:53,000
Cardinal one, Dodgers nothing and the batter is Duke Snyder.

666
00:43:53,000 --> 00:44:01,000
Oh, gee, I wish I had seen Dysdale going back to second.

667
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,000
Duke Snyder batting 260.

668
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:11,000
He singled off the screen and right field in the first inning and was thrown outside the stretch.

669
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:15,000
Oh, Dixon in the jam.

670
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:19,000
Now he looks to his base runners.

671
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:36,000
Now delivers to Snyder and it's way outside ball one.

672
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,000
One and all the count of the Duke on deck, Elmer Vallow.

673
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,000
No action yet on the Cardinal ten.

674
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,000
One nothing Cardinal, bottom of the third, one out.

675
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,000
Dysdale at second, Reese at first.

676
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,000
The one on pitch to Snyder.

677
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,000
Cut on his high drive to deep right field.

678
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:52,000
That's a way out there.

679
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,000
It's going to be off the screen.

680
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,000
Dysdale had a hell of a up.

681
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Now he's around third.

682
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,000
Come into the plate, he'll score.

683
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:02,000
Dark gloves to the plate, not in time.

684
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,000
And Vallow rejects and fused him on that one.

685
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Don Dysdale is flat.

686
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:14,000
He is absolutely the dirtiest young pitcher in the league right now.

687
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,000
He'll be dirty, but he's carried over the tying run.

688
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:22,000
Newcomb, Alston, Cavadale, half the Dodgers come to greet him.

689
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,000
What happened was the ball had hit the right.

690
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:29,000
Del Ennis did a very fine job of making believe he had a play on it.

691
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:34,000
Dysdale held it's track and Reese was running and he almost ran up Dysdale's back.

692
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:39,000
The throw by Ennis came in towards third base and was cut off by Dark.

693
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:47,000
And Dysdale got in under Dark's throw and Reese advanced to third.

694
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,000
Well, Snyder's second hit.

695
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,000
Run batted in.

696
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,000
It's all tied one and one.

697
00:45:52,000 --> 00:46:00,000
Elmer Vallow the batter and this has been a wild inning.

698
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,000
Vallow winning 333.

699
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:05,000
Takes a pitch low and outside, ball one.

700
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,000
But Dysdale comes over on the base hit.

701
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:12,000
Reese goes around to third.

702
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:23,000
The Dodgers one run on five hits and the Cardinals one run on four hits, one error.

703
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,000
Reese coming down on third.

704
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,000
Snyder at first held on by Stan Musial.

705
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:32,000
The one on pitch to Vallow, cut on tap to the hole on the left side and bare handed by Dark

706
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,000
and they get the fourth to second.

707
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:41,000
A great play by Dark and the throw now will get Snyder at second base.

708
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:47,000
There'll be an argument at second with second base umpire Bill Baker, Billy Herman and Walter Austin

709
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:52,000
arguing that the throw had pulled on Dysdale off the bag.

710
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:57,000
Reese is on the whip around to make it two one-bookers but things aren't bubbling here

711
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,000
at Eversfield.

712
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Austin and Herman are fuming mad.

713
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,000
The argument continues with Bill Baker.

714
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,000
Herman is really the heated man.

715
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Austin kind of standing aside.

716
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,000
Now Walter does a little chewing himself.

717
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:19,000
Alvin Dark made a magnificent play going into the hole.

718
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,000
He could not backhand the ball with his glove.

719
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,000
He actually bare handed it.

720
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,000
Throw at it in the air and fire devising game.

721
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:31,000
We just did Fodan's the bag for the fourth.

722
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:37,000
So Vallow hits into a fourth play, six to four on a great play by Alvin Dark.

723
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:38,000
The run comes over.

724
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,000
It's two one Brooklyn.

725
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,000
Two out on the third.

726
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,000
We'll pause for station identification.

727
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,000
This is the Brooklyn Dodgers radio network.

728
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:50,000
Tomorrow afternoon from one to four, Dean Hutter plays the top hit recordings

729
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,000
on the Wacker Bandwagon.

730
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,000
Tile 1460, WOKO Albany.

731
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:59,000
WOKO, the capital district's most talked about station with downtown studios

732
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,000
in the Hotel Wellington.

733
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,000
All right, Gino Simoli to batter.

734
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:07,000
Not too many runs over here on the third but boy they've been dancing in the air.

735
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,000
It's two one Brooklyn now and Gino Simoli to batter.

736
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,000
Vallow one first with two out.

737
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,000
Dixon delivers.

738
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,000
Simoli takes low.

739
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,000
Ball one.

740
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:20,000
What a great play by Dark.

741
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:25,000
Vallow lobbed at the base hit and instead it's turned into a fourth play at second.

742
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,000
Reese carrying it over.

743
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:28,000
Brooklyn two runs five hits.

744
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:36,000
Cardinal's one run four hits one error.

745
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,000
Simoli waiting.

746
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,000
Dixon delivers one oh and the pitch is down low.

747
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,000
Ball two, two and oh.

748
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:57,000
Herman Wehmeyer continues to loosen up down in the Cardinal bullpen.

749
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,000
Dixon ready.

750
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,000
The two oh pitches cut on lift off his right leg.

751
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,000
It's staggered and he chases it.

752
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:07,000
Pitch it up and throws not in time.

753
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,000
Murray Dixon at a hook one right off his right leg.

754
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,000
It really staggered him on demand but he chased it anyway.

755
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,000
Out on the grass court short.

756
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,000
His draw a little too late.

757
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:24,000
And Simoli literally gets a base hit off Dixon off his right leg.

758
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,000
Oh this is tough.

759
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,000
One is at first and second two out.

760
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,000
Brooklyn two Cardinal one in the third inning.

761
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,000
And Roy Cavanaugh with the batter.

762
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,000
Can't be blue to single the center in the second inning.

763
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:47,000
He's batting 276.

764
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,000
Eversfield rocking today and it's just the beginning.

765
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,000
We've got quite an afternoon in store for us.

766
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:57,000
Hope you have plenty of shapers.

767
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:58,000
Dixon ready now.

768
00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:59,000
Cavanaugh waiting.

769
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:03,000
The pitch to Roy is low at his feet four one.

770
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:07,000
Cavanaugh the seventh man to come to bat here in the third inning.

771
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,000
The Dodgers have scored twice.

772
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,000
They lead two to one.

773
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:12,000
Elmavalo at second base.

774
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,000
Geno Simoli at first.

775
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:23,000
Two out.

776
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:24,000
Dixon ready.

777
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:25,000
Takes a peek at his runners.

778
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,000
Now the one-oh pitch.

779
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,000
Cavanaugh takes on the outside corner for strikes.

780
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,000
One ball one strike.

781
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:46,000
And now Cavanaugh is mad at playing on by Mike Cicari.

782
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:47,000
Red hot ball game.

783
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,000
Shaper weather in New York.

784
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:54,000
Got it all here at Eversfield today.

785
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,000
Dixon ready.

786
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:00,000
The one-one pitch to Cavanaugh is outside a diving lunging block by Hobie Landriff.

787
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,000
Oh, that pitch would have been back to the backstop.

788
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:10,000
Two and one.

789
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:30,000
And back Johnny Roseborough.

790
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,000
Two-one pitch to Cavanaugh.

791
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:33,000
Come on, there's a high drive.

792
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:47,000
The deep left gonna feel a blare going near the wall.

793
00:51:47,000 --> 00:52:01,000
That ball is gone.

794
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:09,000
Roy Cavanaugh whacks his ninth home run, a low line drive, just taking off in the vicinity of left center.

795
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Kenny Boyer ran far out of the wall and finally just disconsolately had to drop his hand to his side.

796
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:20,000
And the ball actually went right down an exit way in the left center field seat.

797
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:24,000
Bertie Hutchinson out to the mound and that will be all for Murray Dixon.

798
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:29,000
Herman Weimar is coming in and the Dodgers have come up with five runs in the third inning.

799
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:34,000
And now lead the Cardinals 5-1.

800
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:38,000
Boyer won an inning.

801
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:41,000
Well, Herman Weimar taking over for Murray Dixon.

802
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:46,000
And Dixon, who had had three complete game victories in a row, has to come out.

803
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,000
And enough things happened to him out there in the field.

804
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,000
He could write a book on the inning alone.

805
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:57,000
Well, Dixon gives way and Herman Weimar takes over.

806
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:04,000
Murray Dixon worked two and two-third innings.

807
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:09,000
Gave up seven hits, five runs.

808
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:15,000
He had a wild pitch, did not walk anybody, struck out one.

809
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:21,000
Well, Herman Weimar taking over.

810
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:24,000
Herman, you remember, perhaps one of the finer performances of his career.

811
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,000
He turned it in against Brooklyn in an extra inning ball game.

812
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,000
He pitched 12 of a 16-inning game.

813
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:34,000
Weimar is making his sixth appearance in relief.

814
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,000
He has guarded seven ball games.

815
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:48,000
He has two wins and four defeats.

816
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,000
We checked with the official scorer and found out that the Dodgers,

817
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,000
having scored five times here in the third inning, to lead five to one.

818
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:58,000
Only one of the runs burned.

819
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,000
Herman Ready and delivers and Rosebough takes a strike on one.

820
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:04,000
So, by the way, any time Kamen Alley hits a home run,

821
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:08,000
he establishes a new record in the National League for most home runs hit by a catcher.

822
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:13,000
He had tied Gabby Harknett at 2.36 and he hit one the other day to break the tie and stand alone.

823
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,000
And now he takes another giant step.

824
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,000
He is now at 238 in his career.

825
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,000
He is a new mark for a National League catcher.

826
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,000
Weimar works to Rosebough outside and low.

827
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,000
One ball, one strike.

828
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:30,000
At the end of eight innings, Milwaukee three and the Phillies two.

829
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:33,000
The end of four innings since 93, Giants nothing.

830
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:36,000
At the end of this inning, we'll give you a complete rundown of the scorers.

831
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,000
One-one to Rosebough, caught on is a high drive to left field.

832
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:43,000
Back goes Moon to the wall, reaches up and grabs it.

833
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:47,000
Oh, Johnny Rosebough came within a couple of feet of hitting his first Major League home run

834
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:50,000
instead at the long out.

835
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:58,000
Now to add it up, five runs on four hits.

836
00:54:58,000 --> 00:54:59,000
There was one error.

837
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:00,000
That's by Musial.

838
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,000
There was a wild fit.

839
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:06,000
There was a wildest rundown between second and third we've seen in a while.

840
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,000
And a chance for Don Griesdell also to get a rest.

841
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,000
I wonder if he went in and changed uniforms.

842
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:12,000
We'll wait and see.

843
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,000
Five runs on four hits.

844
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:15,000
Nobody left on base.

845
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,000
And the big bro, the home run by Campanella.

846
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,000
At the end of three, Brooklyn five runs, seven hits, and no errors.

847
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:25,000
The Cardinals one run, four hits, and one error.

848
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,000
Don Griesdell in a new uniform.

849
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:32,000
He's washed off half a grime that he picked up at second base and also at home plate.

850
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:36,000
There's also a psychological angle too, you know, about putting on a clean uniform.

851
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,000
You feel a little bit better, maybe fresher.

852
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,000
The Dodgers hope it will work.

853
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:44,000
Griesdell was quite a moving man out there in the third.

854
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:48,000
In the three innings of play, Brooklyn five runs, seven hits, and no errors.

855
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,000
Cardinals one run, four hits, and one error.

856
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,000
Another moving man, Mr. Hobie Landryd, will be coming up.

857
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,000
He'll start it off in the fourth.

858
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:01,000
And for the F&M Shape of Brewing Company of Brooklyn, Brewers of America's oldest lager beer.

859
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,000
And for the play-by-play, here's Al Hopper.

860
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:05,000
Thank you very much.

861
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:06,000
Ben, hi, everybody.

862
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:09,000
Well, Ben really got himself a workout in that last half of third.

863
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,000
It was really something.

864
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:15,000
Big runs and four hits for the Dodgers to pick up the lead five to one.

865
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,000
Hobie Landryd is 0 for one.

866
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,000
The first pitch to him is high and outside for ball one.

867
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:30,000
Landryd, a little left-hand hitter, followed out to Roy Campanella to start things in the second inning for St. Louis.

868
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:35,000
Landryd batting 178 as Griesdell comes in with fastball and it's placed down across the carpet for short.

869
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:39,000
Jim Gilliam digs it out, snaps his throw to Roseville, and that's all for Landryd.

870
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:43,000
One up, one down here in the top half of inning number four.

871
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:52,000
Eddie Casco drew a rock when he came up in the second inning, so he's coming up for his first official at bat, hitting a 293.

872
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:53,000
Brooklyn leads it five to one.

873
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,000
They have five runs on seven hits, no errors.

874
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:59,000
And St. Louis one run four hits, one error.

875
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:03,000
Right on fastball, it's fired in there for the strike.

876
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:10,000
Casco, a right-hand hitter, stands about three-quarters deep in batters, boys.

877
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:18,000
Griesdell, tall, skinny right-hander, delivers a sidearm fastball and it's up the mound with a stand-out of play.

878
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:22,000
No balls and two strikes.

879
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:26,000
Following Eddie Casco will have pitcher Herman Wehmeyer coming up.

880
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:30,000
He relieves Murray Dixon after two and two-third innings down to the board.

881
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:35,000
Murray charges all five runs.

882
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,000
Curveball, swung on and lifted off the right field.

883
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:44,000
Off to his right goes Gino Somoli, and they've just got it.

884
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:59,000
Two down, top half of the fourth inning.

885
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:03,000
Coming up to the plate now will be Herman Wehmeyer.

886
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:08,000
He's had two runs batted in for the Cardinals this year, hitting a 235, four to 17.

887
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:13,000
Hits them pretty well.

888
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:17,000
Griesdell takes his time for Campanella.

889
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:18,000
Down comes the first pitcher.

890
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:22,000
Wehmeyer watches the fastball streak across the face for ball one.

891
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,000
Two down, the base is empty, top of the fourth.

892
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:30,000
Brooklyn Five and St. Louis has one.

893
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,000
Griesdell pumps one, kicks and throws.

894
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:37,000
Upside on fastball, Wehmeyer fouls it off to the left of the plate.

895
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:45,000
One ball, one strike count on St. Louis' winning pitcher.

896
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:50,000
Just the beginning of a long afternoon between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Brooklyn Dodgers.

897
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:54,000
Got another one to go after this one.

898
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:58,000
Probably Willard Schmidt going against Opax or Padres in the second game,

899
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:01,000
and it all depends on how this first one comes out.

900
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:02,000
The one-one delivery.

901
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:21,000
Nobaham fastball center, a miss, four, strike two, the ball was fired in just off a letter.

902
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,000
Six, no strike please.

903
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,000
Throw that ball for Wehmeyer, called out on strike.

904
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:30,000
Young Griesdell hangs up his third strike out of the afternoon.

905
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,000
And the score at the end of three and a half innings remains St. Louis one,

906
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,000
and the Brooklyn Dodgers have five.

907
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:41,000
You know what our plans are for tonight?

908
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:45,000
We fly to Cincinnati.

909
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:48,000
Oh well, with or without airplane.

910
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:53,000
Back down.

911
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:56,000
Joleneal coming up now in the last half before it, then he's 0 for one.

912
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:00,000
He closed out the second and he's rolling out to the right side to Don Blossomgate.

913
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:04,000
Herman Wehmeyer ready to go again.

914
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,000
Big blonde Cincinnati Dutchman, twist, kicks and throws.

915
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,000
Big curve ball, it's hit right back to the mound.

916
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:14,000
Wehmeyer's got it, flips over to first base and Charlie Neal is up.

917
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:18,000
One away in the last half of the fourth inning, the better now will be Don Griesdell.

918
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:23,000
Well Don started things off in the third inning with a loopy single into right center.

919
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:29,000
Hats himself a heyday and a quick think on the base pass.

920
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:33,000
Deserves a round of applause he gets as he comes up to the plate right now.

921
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:43,000
Griesdell one hits him 23 at bat, so that gives him the lofty percentage of 0-4-3.

922
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,000
Don waggles that bat around.

923
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:53,000
Herman Wehmeyer now, Griesdell cuts at it and doesn't get it.

924
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:58,000
Strike one.

925
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,000
I go along with Benning what he said about Griesdell.

926
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,000
You should have seen him hanging up between second and third.

927
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:09,000
He was going in all directions, all ways, at all times at the same time.

928
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:15,000
Curve ball is under his knees and Griesdell's counting out the ball on a strike.

929
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:24,000
Ever see one of those cartoons where the subject is running one way and decides to go another and he bends in the middle?

930
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,000
Sort of skips along and then starts back.

931
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,000
That's what Griesdell looks like.

932
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:29,000
The one-one delivery.

933
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,000
Fast ball, one on, it's a long drive.

934
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:32,000
Griesdell gets on a home run.

935
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:41,000
It is well-builted into the sixth home run for Griesdell.

936
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:48,000
Well, Fluckers, Flucker Griesdell, that is, won't have to hang up between second and third.

937
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,000
He comes on in.

938
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:54,000
Don Griesdell, he really built one into left color.

939
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:59,000
Big Don Newcomb shakes his hand as he comes in and the ball comes off it.

940
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:04,000
That's the second major league home run for Don Griesdell, his first this year.

941
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:05,000
He really is smart.

942
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:08,000
He's got his flops this afternoon, hasn't he?

943
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:11,000
Oh, great goodness.

944
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:20,000
This is the kids' day.

945
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,000
That's the number one run, number one out, Waymo.

946
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:26,000
And up there now is Gilliam, punching the first pitch back for strike one.

947
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:30,000
Foul ball to the net.

948
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:34,000
We kept telling the old spring wrong that this Griesdell can hit a ball when he gets a hold of it.

949
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:39,000
The kid just proved it, except the fans wasn't.

950
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,000
Six to one now in favor of Brooklyn.

951
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:44,000
High curve ball to Gilliam is outside, ball one.

952
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:47,000
One ball and one strike.

953
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:52,000
I tell you, Mr. Scully, when we get on that airplane tonight and fly down to Cincinnati,

954
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:57,000
there'll be no holding that Griesdell and he'd be.

955
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:04,000
Women are delivered.

956
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:15,000
Gilliam is in there.

957
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:18,000
That'll be a hit in an hour.

958
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:22,000
Jim Gilliam has successful on his front up the third base line to get a single.

959
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:25,000
And then when Casco's barehand pick up, though the first was wild,

960
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:31,000
he moves on down to second base on the air by Eddie Casco.

961
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:35,000
That's the second air for the St. Louis Cardinals.

962
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,000
And Peewee Reese comes up to the plate now.

963
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:41,000
Weimar has surrendered his second base hit.

964
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:45,000
Gilliam in pretty good scoring position in the 6-1 ball game in favor of the Dodgers.

965
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:49,000
Down comes the pitcher, Reese Alford hits a hard fly ball on a short left field.

966
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:52,000
Wally Moon comes charging in for it, has a good shot at it and takes it.

967
01:03:52,000 --> 01:04:00,000
Gilliam holds right there at second.

968
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:02,000
Duke's got it, gets a round of applause.

969
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:05,000
It's only 20 days.

970
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:10,000
Duke's been going up there to the strains of mixed emotions.

971
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,000
But the Duke has two for two this afternoon.

972
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:13,000
He's driven in one round.

973
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:16,000
He hit two singles high off the screen.

974
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:20,000
Right field, the first inning he was off trying to stretch it into a double on a fine throw

975
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:23,000
might be a liquefiance to Alvin Gotts covering his second base.

976
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:28,000
They're going to put him on and they're going to monkey around with him.

977
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:34,000
Now Schneider will be walking tension-laced.

978
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:37,000
That'll be the first base on balls.

979
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:43,000
Picked up by Pupton this afternoon off the combined pitching on a starting pitcher, Dixon.

980
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,000
And now really we're coming Weimar.

981
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:49,000
First ball for Schneider is off to first base.

982
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:52,000
He's going on Elmavello.

983
01:04:52,000 --> 01:05:00,000
Elmavello, we got the side in the first inning with a pop-up third base.

984
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:04,000
Then in the third hit a rifle shot down to shortstop.

985
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:12,000
Down to second base and he's forced Schneider at second from crossing game to shortstop dart.

986
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:17,000
Elmavello, a left-hand hitter batting in the cleanup spot at 321.

987
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:23,000
I'm a very determined square-shouldered guy, unlikable fellow.

988
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:32,000
After Kerpo, it's about into right center field coming on for it is Ken Boyer and Boyer makes the catch.

989
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:39,000
So in the fourth inning, did not just pick up a run on Drysdale's home run.

990
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:42,000
There were two base hits in the inning.

991
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,000
There was an hour and there were two men left on.

992
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:48,000
So the score at the end of four full innings of play.

993
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:57,000
It is Brooklyn 6 and the St. Louis Cardinals have 1.

994
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:01,000
The first half of this game was brought to you by the F&M Schaeffer Brewing Company of Brooklyn.

995
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:06,000
Brewers of Schaeffer Beer, America's oldest lager beer.

996
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:12,000
Now your host for the next five innings will be Lucky Strike, the best tasting cigarette you ever smoked.

997
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:19,000
Made by the American Tobacco Company. Tobacco is our middle name.

998
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:24,000
Well, still a week's time to enroll your boy in the Dodger Town summer camp at Vero Beach Fort, everybody.

999
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:29,000
If your boy is between 10 and 16, if he likes sports, if you want to place him under expert coaches

1000
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:34,000
and a well-disciplined, well-planned program of sports competition, you couldn't believe me,

1001
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:37,000
you couldn't find a better camp than Dodger Town.

1002
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:43,000
But time's a-wasting, so you'd better telephone first thing tomorrow. Call Maine 45091.

1003
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:49,000
That's Maine 45091.

1004
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:53,000
Now we move into the top half, opening number five.

1005
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:58,000
The first man coming up will be Don Blossomgame for the St. Louis Cardinals.

1006
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:03,000
I'll just light you up a lucky now and we'll see what happens as Blossomgame Dark and Musial

1007
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:09,000
will be facing Don Drysdale. Four innings total, six runs, nine hits nowhere as Brooklyn.

1008
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,000
One run, four hits, two errors, St. Louis.

1009
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:18,000
Drysdale's run of fastball is over for strike one.

1010
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:24,000
At the beginning of play today, the St. Louis Cardinals won fourth place, two and a half games off the page.

1011
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:33,000
Shot on fastball, good foul off the third base side. Check up on the standings once more.

1012
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:40,000
To make sure, caught off in St. Louis, we're tied two and a half games behind for fourth and fifth place.

1013
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:49,000
Brooklyn had third place exclusively since now they was in second and Milwaukee in first.

1014
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:52,000
Drysdale delivers a bit of swing on and laced out into right field.

1015
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:56,000
That's going to be in for base hit. It's up the alley going to the wall. Blossomgame is on his way to second.

1016
01:07:56,000 --> 01:08:01,000
Simone is picked up out there and throws in. Here comes Blossomgame moving all over the third.

1017
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:10,000
It'll be a sliding triple for him. Blossomgame tripled up the alley in right center.

1018
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:17,000
Tip number five given up by Drysdale. One run, five hits, four to go it now.

1019
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:23,000
Blossomgame at third and Alvin Clark. The old quill coming up to the plate.

1020
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:27,000
Clark's out there thinking for you all the time.

1021
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:34,000
Caught out on strikes in the first inning, grounded to short the third.

1022
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:35,000
Drysdale ready to work to him.

1023
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:36,000
Diles hits one on.

1024
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:39,000
Line down in the right center field. That's in the alley too.

1025
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:42,000
Maddic is over to cut it off and knocks the ball down.

1026
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:47,000
The ball is scored easily as Dark Coast is feeling in the second of the double.

1027
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,000
A triple followed by a double both to right center has produced another run.

1028
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:53,000
And before we have New Deal up there, let's pause for station identification.

1029
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,000
This is the Brooklyn Dodger Radio Network.

1030
01:08:56,000 --> 01:09:11,000
Dial 1460WOKO. Alvin AWOKO, the capital district's most talked about station with downtown studios in the Hotel Wellington.

1031
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:15,000
Time New Deal coming up to the plate.

1032
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,000
Nobody on one on. One on scored. Six through the score.

1033
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:22,000
And David Blossom shot on fastball to stand his high off the face.

1034
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:23,000
Ball one.

1035
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:26,000
Manager Austin gets up and looks down at the bullpen.

1036
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:30,000
He notes he wants some action.

1037
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:41,000
Eddie Winkluck gets up and he'll start to throw down in the Brooklyn bullpen.

1038
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:42,000
Good swung on by New Deal.

1039
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:55,000
Thoughtback foul. Got his one on one on him.

1040
01:09:55,000 --> 01:10:01,000
Alvin Dark moving away from second.

1041
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:04,000
Rised down to the top of the stretch. Check stand New Deal.

1042
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:05,000
One one's him.

1043
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:08,000
The curve ball is pined and tossed out in a very short left center field.

1044
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,000
Coming on is John Mazzolo.

1045
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:13,000
And he can't get it. It drops in front of him.

1046
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:17,000
Did a pretty good con job on making Alvin Dark believe he was going to catch that ball.

1047
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:22,000
Dark had to hold up so he moved only down to third base.

1048
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:26,000
New Deal a little popper out in the left center for the base hit.

1049
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:32,000
Alvin Dark moving over to third.

1050
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:36,000
That'll be hit number seven off Young Drysdale.

1051
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:39,000
Nobody out. One is the first and third and the batter coming up will be Dallanet.

1052
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:43,000
Walter Austin's called for time and the manager comes walking out of the Dodger dugout.

1053
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:46,000
He'll block and talk to Young Drysdale.

1054
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:52,000
Eddie Robuck is down in the bullpen, cranking it up.

1055
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:56,000
Hard spot.

1056
01:10:56,000 --> 01:11:01,000
Because here Drysdale is leading by four runs.

1057
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:09,000
Nobody out and one is the first and third and he hasn't pitched these five innings to leave a ballgame with a commanding lead.

1058
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:13,000
So what do you think Walter Austin's going to do?

1059
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:17,000
Leave the kid in there and take a chance or will he bring in Eddie Robuck?

1060
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:20,000
And hopes that they can stop it right here and now.

1061
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:24,000
That's one of the problems the manager has.

1062
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:28,000
He's got to make the first guess and he's got to make his first guess right.

1063
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:37,000
He doesn't have a chance to look back over everything in retrospect or chance to change his decision once he makes it.

1064
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:50,000
The manager cannot be the second guesser. He's got to be the first guesser.

1065
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:53,000
And Walter Austin is going to take Drysdale out of the ballgame right now.

1066
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:55,000
Eddie Robuck is coming off.

1067
01:11:55,000 --> 01:12:10,000
For Drysdale pitches four innings plus three men.

1068
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:13,000
There's the announcement for Robuck.

1069
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:19,000
He'll come on to pitch here to Del Ennis in the fifth inning.

1070
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:21,000
Nobody out, one on the score.

1071
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:30,000
Doug is on it third. Musial is on it first. Del Ennis who has single twice, both to left field, both times left field, will be up to face Eddie Robuck.

1072
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:33,000
While we check up on Robuck's record.

1073
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:38,000
Drysdale takes the long walk and gets the fine round of applause.

1074
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:42,000
We'll get over to Jerry for all of the news off the Electric Strikes 4 ball.

1075
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:48,000
Okay, our one game is over. Milwaukee at Philadelphia, first game of a double header.

1076
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:51,000
The game won it three to two. Three runs, 11 hits, no errors.

1077
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:54,000
Philadelphia two runs, five hits, and no errors.

1078
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:59,000
Pizarro was the winner and Miller, who relieved in the eighth inning, was the loser.

1079
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:04,000
Jones and Hamler had home runs for Philadelphia and both game was none on.

1080
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:12,000
In the first game, single game rather, Cincinnati and the Giants, the Red Legs lead three to nothing at the end of five innings to play.

1081
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:17,000
Gross for Cincinnati against Cromwell, Davis, and Blackley for the Giants.

1082
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:21,000
At the end of seven and a half, Chicago four, Pittsburgh one.

1083
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:28,000
Kaiser and Lowne relieved in the eighth for Chicago and for Pittsburgh, Arroyo faced in Klein.

1084
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:32,000
Golds are a home run, banks a home run, and Moore on a home run for Chicago.

1085
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:35,000
That's the first of a double header.

1086
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:40,000
Yankees at Kansas City in the American League have not started. Cucks against Morgan.

1087
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:43,000
Double header between Chicago and Washington, first game.

1088
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:49,000
Chicago two, Washington nothing at the end of four. Monoso home in the first, one on.

1089
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:53,000
Baltimore Cleveland double header, first game at the end of six and a half.

1090
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:56,000
Baltimore three, Cleveland two, Johnson against Mosse.

1091
01:13:56,000 --> 01:14:00,000
Boston Detroit, one nothing Detroit at the end of three and a half.

1092
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:03,000
For Nealus against Bunnings. That's off, but lucky strike.

1093
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,000
Go board now, back to Al.

1094
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:09,000
All right, Eddie Robuck's ready to go. Here are the pictures to Dale Ennis.

1095
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:11,000
Dale, the big right hand hitter.

1096
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,000
Robuck comes in with a sidearm snicker and a swung on.

1097
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:20,000
Ball tipped for strike one.

1098
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:24,000
No ball, one strike.

1099
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:27,000
Eddie Robuck appearing in his eleventh ball game.

1100
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:32,000
That's one one, he's lost one.

1101
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:34,000
Started one game.

1102
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,000
Curved Ennis, not slow, that's ball one.

1103
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:43,000
One ball and one strike.

1104
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:46,000
Eddie Robuck taking over for Don Drysdale.

1105
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:48,000
Here in inning number five.

1106
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:51,000
One on score, two men on, runners first and third.

1107
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:56,000
Nobody out for St. Louis and the Dodgers lead six-two.

1108
01:14:56,000 --> 01:15:01,000
Robuck sidearms the next pitch in there, swung on and hit off the end of the bat foul of the first base side.

1109
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:08,000
Terry Moore, the first base coach, knocks it down. One ball, two strikes.

1110
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:15,000
Dale Ennis will be followed by Ken Boyer.

1111
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:20,000
Then Moon if needed.

1112
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,000
Runners are first and third.

1113
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:25,000
Nobody out top of the fifth.

1114
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:27,000
Blargin game open with a triple to right center.

1115
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:30,000
Dark scored him with a double to right center.

1116
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:37,000
Now slow on it, long drive, but I feel it's curving now and goes foul.

1117
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:44,000
One ball and two strikes.

1118
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:53,000
We can't close out Young Drysdale's record as yet because the two men on the bases are his responsibility.

1119
01:15:53,000 --> 01:16:02,000
It happens with him before we can put it down, but we do know this, he cannot be the losing pitcher.

1120
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:07,000
Musial at first, Dark is on at third. Second is open, no outs.

1121
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:09,000
Robuck fires in there and then the swing and he doesn't get it.

1122
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:12,000
Strike three.

1123
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:18,000
Ball was actually foul-pitched a bit, Roy Campanella held it.

1124
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:22,000
Robuck comes out of the bullpen, gets the first man he faces, nice strike out.

1125
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:24,000
That will bring on Kenny Boyer.

1126
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:28,000
Kenny drove in a run in the first inning with a line shot single to left field.

1127
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:31,000
He moved Stan Musial in from second base.

1128
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:34,000
The single was caught in the run in the first inning.

1129
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:39,000
He walked in again in the third so he's one for one.

1130
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:45,000
Boyer batting at two fifty-three.

1131
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:48,000
Black hand hitter, tall, rather slender.

1132
01:16:48,000 --> 01:17:04,000
Robuck sidearms, even if it's a swung on, missed for strike one.

1133
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:16,000
Repeating the score down at Philadelphia in the first game of the doubleheader, Milwaukee three and Philadelphia two, that's the final.

1134
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:23,000
Robuck delivers oh one, his pitch is just low, ball one, one ball and one strike.

1135
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:27,000
At the end of sixth inning, Cincinnati continues to lead the New York Giants, their first of two.

1136
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:41,000
Wait a minute, that's a single game, three nothing.

1137
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:46,000
Robuck sets, the one-one pitch sidearmor, swung on and hit down back to third.

1138
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:49,000
Reese is up with it, makes his play to home plate as they run a break.

1139
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,000
Alvondark is back out.

1140
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:54,000
Throw down to Roy Campanella.

1141
01:17:54,000 --> 01:18:00,000
Throw on the fearless choice, Boyer moves up to second and Stan Musial moves over to second base.

1142
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:05,000
Boyer on first, Stan Musial on second on the fearless choice.

1143
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:11,000
Reese throwing out, Alvondark trying to score from third, Roy Campanella covering.

1144
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:19,000
Second out, Musial at second and Boyer is on at first with Moon coming up to the plate.

1145
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:25,000
Repeating in a single ball game, Cincinnati at New York, the Polo grounds at the end of sixth.

1146
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:30,000
Cincinnati three and the Giants have nothing.

1147
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:34,000
Chicago defeat at Pittsburgh, their first of two, four to one.

1148
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:44,000
And Milwaukee took Philadelphia, their first of two, three-two.

1149
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:50,000
The totals on that first game, Chicago four runs, 14 hits, one error, and Pittsburgh one run, seven hits, one error.

1150
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:53,000
Winning pitcher was Kozler, Louis Arroyo lost it.

1151
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:55,000
Thank you, Alan.

1152
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:57,000
Here's Wally Moon hitting left-handed.

1153
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:02,000
Down comes Robert Han Kerpo, hit right back to the mound off of the knee of Robert Gilliam.

1154
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:06,000
Certainly playing it picked up close to first base in time.

1155
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:10,000
Well, that play will have to go one to four to three.

1156
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:13,000
Repetize the side and leaves two men on.

1157
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:20,000
One run in the inning for the St. Louis Cardinals on three bases.

1158
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:22,000
Another score at the end of four and a half minutes of play now.

1159
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:29,000
It is the Brooklyn Dodgers six and the St. Louis Cardinals have two.

1160
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,000
Now let's have a word from Jerry Douglas.

1161
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:34,000
It's time to talk to you folks again about Lucky Strike.

1162
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:39,000
My purpose, of course, is to suggest you buy Lucky's.

1163
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:43,000
In support of this proposal, I might array any number of facts.

1164
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:54,000
For example, I might point out that Lucky's are all cigarettes, all fine tobacco, looks naturally good tasting, that's toasted to taste even better.

1165
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,000
All these facts are true, of course.

1166
01:19:56,000 --> 01:20:00,000
But how are you going to find out until you give yourself a try?

1167
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:05,000
You're lucky, so buy Lucky's, okay?

1168
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:13,000
For the taste that you like, light up a Lucky Strike.

1169
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:24,000
You say a Lucky's the best tasting cigarette you ever smoke.

1170
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:28,000
Last half of the fifth inning, Gino Samole coming on to bat, so let's get right back to Al.

1171
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:36,000
Gino Samole has rounded out the shortstop and he actually got a base hit off Murray Dixon's legs in the third inning.

1172
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:41,000
Samole hitting number five in the order, batting at 3-41.

1173
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:46,000
We have our bumps and fridges and Samole takes a curve on the corner.

1174
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:52,000
Yeah, that's a strike one.

1175
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:58,000
Samole to be followed by Roy Campanella and then by Johnny Roseboro.

1176
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:00,000
Six to two, Brooklyn.

1177
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:06,000
Weimar delivers the Samole, a soft curve and Gino Lange fouls just outside curve.

1178
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:16,000
That'll be strike two on Samole.

1179
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:20,000
Roy Campanella on deck to go next.

1180
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:26,000
Second batter's box now.

1181
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:34,000
Weimar backs Samole, swings and misses strike three.

1182
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:41,000
Weimar, that's his first strikeout.

1183
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:44,000
Coming up now is Campanella.

1184
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:50,000
Roy had a three-run homerun in the third inning.

1185
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:55,000
That's been three of the five runs the Dodgers picked up in that third.

1186
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:59,000
But he's 238th homerun of his major league career.

1187
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:07,000
By establishing himself another record, he's the man of record now in the homeruns for catchers.

1188
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:13,000
Pitch to him low, ball one.

1189
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:18,000
That is, he is the catcher of record in the National League.

1190
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:22,000
Most homeruns hit by catcher, career.

1191
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:31,000
One-on delivery to him, way outside, and that's ball two.

1192
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:36,000
Many times it's been said and observed,

1193
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:42,000
has its two fine catchers as Roy Campanella and Yogi Pera.

1194
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:46,000
They're in the same league at the same time.

1195
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:49,000
Saddam curved, he can't be in there for a strike.

1196
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:57,000
Count us two and one.

1197
01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:01,000
Kobe Landry for started off the ball game catching Murray Dixon.

1198
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:03,000
Had to jump all over the place.

1199
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:08,000
Had a little easier time of it with him and Weimar.

1200
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:10,000
Two-one delivery.

1201
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:18,000
And curve is tapped out in front of a plate and then kicks out.

1202
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:20,000
A lot of English on it.

1203
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:26,000
Two balls, two strikes to count on Roy Campanella.

1204
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:31,000
I hope as you're driving along in your car this afternoon and enjoying your lucky strike

1205
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:36,000
that you'll take it easy and pay attention to all the rules of the road.

1206
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:43,000
Come home safely.

1207
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:47,000
Boy, it's a beautiful day to be out, too.

1208
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:51,000
Fine day to be right here in the ballpark.

1209
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:54,000
Saddam curved, snaps off shoulder high outside for ball three.

1210
01:23:54,000 --> 01:24:06,000
Campanella now has the count of three and two.

1211
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:08,000
Going out, last half of the fifth.

1212
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:09,000
Nobody on.

1213
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,000
Six-two to score for Klinley.

1214
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:18,000
Weimar, the relief pitcher for St. Louis, delivers three-two and the pitcher's outside for ball four.

1215
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:23,000
Campy Watts, that'll be the second base on balls offered by Weimar.

1216
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:27,000
The batter coming up will be John Roseborough.

1217
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:31,000
Struck out in the second ring and just narrowly missed hitting a home run in the third.

1218
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:35,000
Set a ball deep to Moon in left field.

1219
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:40,000
Well, they had to back up against the boards to make the catch.

1220
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:46,000
Oh, Roseborough, moving on, has just one base hit and ten times up.

1221
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,000
That was a front single.

1222
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:49,000
We know he can clip the ball.

1223
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:51,000
He's proved it.

1224
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:52,000
Slender left-hand hitter.

1225
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,000
Weimar tries one on him at the knees.

1226
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:56,000
Johnny doesn't go for it.

1227
01:24:56,000 --> 01:25:12,000
That's ball one.

1228
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:16,000
Swings on the next pitch and it's a high pop-up.

1229
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:21,000
Right back at pitchers mile, first baseman, New Zealand Roof, and calls it in.

1230
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:24,000
Campanella Hall right on there at first base.

1231
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:27,000
Two down in the last half of the fifth inning in about an hour.

1232
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:31,000
It'll be Charlie Neal.

1233
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:33,000
Charlie's been up twice.

1234
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:39,000
He rolled out to the right side to the second baseman's blessing game to retire Brooklyn in the second.

1235
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:42,000
And as the leadoff man in the fourth inning hit back to the mound.

1236
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:50,000
What's going on?

1237
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:56,000
Weimar checks his runner, Campanella, delivers the plate and Charlie Neal hits a high pop-up out into short center field.

1238
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,000
Kenny Boyer flips the grass and comes charging on for it.

1239
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:00,000
Now he's got it.

1240
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:03,000
And that's all in the fifth inning for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

1241
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:05,000
No runs, there were no base hits.

1242
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:06,000
A walk left the man.

1243
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:09,000
Campanella was the man stranded at first base.

1244
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:17,000
Now the score at the end of five full innings of play remains Brooklyn six and the St. Rose Cardinals have two.

1245
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:24,000
End of the sixth inning of the ball game with Landriff, Casco, and Weimar a first-free do up to face Eddie Robuck.

1246
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:28,000
And so now for a lucky strike right back to Al for the play-by-play.

1247
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:30,000
All right, Jerry, the total's at the end of five innings.

1248
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:32,000
It's Brooklyn six runs, nine hits, no errors.

1249
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:40,000
And the St. Rose Cardinals two runs, seven hits, they have two errors.

1250
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:51,000
And on a bullpen, McDaniel up throwing for the St. Rose Cardinals.

1251
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:56,000
Ron McDaniel throwing for the Lindy McDaniel.

1252
01:26:56,000 --> 01:27:02,000
Robuck's first pitch to left-hand hitting Landriff is outside for ball one.

1253
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:08,000
Obie's over to he fouled out to Campanella and was thrown out from second base in the fourth inning by Gilliam.

1254
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:11,000
And now left to knees, gets in, and strike one.

1255
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:21,000
One ball and one strike.

1256
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:26,000
Lucky strike, very happy to be popping it to you from up at field, this first of the double header.

1257
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:41,000
Two balls and off the fists, too tight up against the hitter, that's ball two. Two balls and one strike.

1258
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:47,000
Robuck back to the hitter, Landriff, pitches him inside off the hands, ball three.

1259
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:53,000
Three and one.

1260
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:59,000
That's the second game of today's double header. The Dodgers will afford their brand new Dodger Convair.

1261
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:02,000
They're winging out to Cincinnati.

1262
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:04,000
Touch ball outside, ball four.

1263
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:08,000
Landriff walks to open the six for St. Louis.

1264
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:18,000
That'll be the third base on balls. St. Louis has picked up on the first off Eddie Robuck in relief.

1265
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:24,000
Without it was Eddie Casco. He's walked and he's flied to right. He's 0-1 starting at 2-9.

1266
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:36,000
By the way, that game tomorrow night will be heard over the Dodger Radio Network and WMGM and also will be TV'd right back on Channel 9.

1267
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:42,000
Pitch to Casco, low, ball one.

1268
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:51,000
A trip, you'll see ball games, three of them from Cincinnati. You'll see ball games from St. Louis and from Milwaukee and Chicago.

1269
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:56,000
Curve in off the hips, twisting Casco out of there, that's ball two.

1270
01:28:56,000 --> 01:29:05,000
Two balls and no strikes.

1271
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:10,000
Landriff at first base, nobody out in the top of the sixth inning. The St. Louis Cardinals are bad.

1272
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:14,000
They're trailing full runs, the Dodgers six, St. Louis two.

1273
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:19,000
Second game here this afternoon, Will Schmidt probably against Kofax or perhaps Puddes.

1274
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:34,000
Sidearm curve is low at the knee, right under the ball for Eaves.

1275
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:40,000
The three-nothing delivery, sidearm fastball is in for the strike. Count is three and one.

1276
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:48,000
Ten to six and a half innings, Cincinnati in a single ball game with the Giants. Lead to Giants, three-nothing.

1277
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:54,000
First game of the doubleheader, Milwaukee beat Philadelphia three to two and Chicago took Pittsburgh for one.

1278
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:57,000
Third ball in the inside corner.

1279
01:29:57,000 --> 01:30:05,000
Casco runs his count to three and two. Down the bullpen now for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

1280
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:10,000
Glenn LeBine starting to get that soup going loose.

1281
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:14,000
Nobody out, one on here in the sixth inning. Landriff the runner first.

1282
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:36,000
Holds on the three-two pitch as it's filed away down the third base side.

1283
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:45,000
For the three-two delivery on Casco.

1284
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:48,000
One, strike three.

1285
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:53,000
And before we have Herman Wimba or Ben Schiller up there, let's quickly pause for station identification.

1286
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:56,000
This is the Brooklyn Dodger radio network.

1287
01:30:56,000 --> 01:31:05,000
Dial 1460 WOKO Albany, WOKO the capital district's most talked about station with downtown studios in the Hotel Wellington.

1288
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:12,000
The weatherman says mostly sunny, not quite so warm today with the Giants of thunder showers this afternoon high 85 to 90.

1289
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:27,000
The time, 30 seconds, four o'clock.

1290
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:32,000
Joe Cunningham up there to bat now for Herman Wimba, left hand hitting outfielder infielder.

1291
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:37,000
Batting at 311 takes the first pitch inside for ball one.

1292
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:52,000
Well, this is all Von McDaniel coming on to do the pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals with the seal of open for them, right-hander.

1293
01:31:52,000 --> 01:32:18,000
Drobach is ready. Pitches, fast ball inside off the hills. Two balls, no strikes.

1294
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:25,000
Now, Eddie is ready. Do it with a soft curve and get that in on the balletters. That'll be strike one.

1295
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:28,000
Two balls and one strike.

1296
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:36,000
In the second game down at Philadelphia, Milwaukee will have on the mound Lou Burdette and the Phillies will go with Kurt Simmons.

1297
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:42,000
Burdette and Simmons. Milwaukee took the first game from Philadelphia three to two.

1298
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:49,000
Over the inside corner, enhanced Cunningham, strike two and that's in to John and Horne.

1299
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:57,000
We'll play it on Barstocori.

1300
01:32:57,000 --> 01:33:12,000
Albie Lambert still down that first base. Drobach at the top to stretch. Sullivan and the pitch is low.

1301
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:22,000
Ball three. Three balls and two strikes.

1302
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:28,000
One out here in the top of the sixth inning. One base runner. Score six to two in favor of Brooklyn over St. Louis.

1303
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:31,000
First game in the double header.

1304
01:33:31,000 --> 01:33:35,000
Cunningham batting for Herman Weimar who pitched two in one third inning.

1305
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:39,000
Gave up two hits and a run.

1306
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:43,000
Overhand fast ball and it's inside for ball four.

1307
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:47,000
That'll move Lambert down to second base now as Pinchot or Cunningham takes first.

1308
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:53,000
Two bases on balls given up by Robots and we'll go to the top of the batting order to pick up Don Blottingame.

1309
01:33:53,000 --> 01:34:00,000
Don was called out on strike, stepped back to the mound and then hit a triple to right center field in the fifth inning and was scored as the one run.

1310
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:05,000
Pardon me, snicked up there in the fifth.

1311
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:10,000
Still six to two. That's the score, six to two.

1312
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:17,000
In favor of Brooklyn over St. Louis.

1313
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:21,000
Blottingame standing in now as Robots goes to the stretch. Delivers the plate.

1314
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:32,000
Soft curve. It's over the inside corner of the hands for strike one.

1315
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:38,000
Robots taking plenty of time.

1316
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:44,000
Don Blottingame throwing hard down in Brooklyn both ends. He's just about ready. He stops every once in a while between pitches.

1317
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:49,000
Flips around to see what's going on.

1318
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:53,000
Two outs of place to runners at first and second. There's one out.

1319
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:58,000
Sidearm pitch swung on and trickled up the first-place line foul.

1320
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:07,000
Countdown Blottingame is no balls and two strikes.

1321
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:14,000
The Johns came up with a run in the seventh inning. So at the end of seven, it's Cincinnati three and the New York Johns one.

1322
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:27,000
They're playing a single game at the Polo grounds today.

1323
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:34,000
Don was starting pitching that ball again. He was relieved.

1324
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:38,000
The ball swung on, hit in the center field. It's in for a base hit. Schneider over to cut it off.

1325
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:45,000
Fires in quickly and the bases are loaded. To a strike right into the plate too to Campanella.

1326
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:52,000
Those two walks in the single center have loaded the bases with one out in the top of the sixth inning.

1327
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:56,000
Robots first hit.

1328
01:35:56,000 --> 01:36:00,000
St. Louis now has a total of eight base hits.

1329
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:06,000
That's seven off Young Drysdale who went four innings plus pitching to three men in the fifth.

1330
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:16,000
When he was touched for a triple, a double, and a single, Walter Austin came out and got him.

1331
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:22,000
My robot with one out has the bases loaded behind him as the Brooklyn infield goes to double play depth.

1332
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:27,000
Up there is Dark. He's got the first pitch at the bottom of the needle. He goes back to Gilliam to win the first base.

1333
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:33,000
Time, the run comes in to score. Cunningham winds up at third.

1334
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:37,000
Force out, gives Dark the RBI.

1335
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:41,000
Across the second is Dossingame from a short second.

1336
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:49,000
The run scoring is Landrup from third base. Taking station now third is Cunningham.

1337
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:52,000
Robots cross up a run. It's now six-three in favor of the Brooklyn Dodgers.

1338
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:57,000
And the Sanco's Cardinals have winners at first and third with Sandman Man coming up.

1339
01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:02,000
Musial has two base hits and three drives. Up with singles.

1340
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:11,000
Musial right now batting at three sixty-one.

1341
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:22,000
Robots delivers to Musial. The left-hand batter takes Lowen away for ball one.

1342
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:27,000
Cunningham stepping down off third. Alvin Dark moving away from first.

1343
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:32,000
Two down in the sixth running.

1344
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:37,000
Musial digging in. Robots ready. Five's in there. Musial swings on the pitch.

1345
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:42,000
Alvin, the right fielder, that's here at double. And it is over.

1346
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:53,000
The Wildflow home run for Musial.

1347
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:57,000
Dan Newville, his 14th home run of the year, and he drives in.

1348
01:37:57,000 --> 01:38:00,000
Three runs with it.

1349
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:05,000
Force all rocked up at sixth and sixth.

1350
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:09,000
The first runs that are gotten here in this sixth inning by singles are the property of

1351
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:20,000
Harmon Wehmeyer for whom they hit in the sixth inning.

1352
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:27,000
Robots gives up his second hit. Second, third, and fourth runs.

1353
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:41,000
The one that's at play now is Del Ennis.

1354
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:44,000
Well, if you don't like the complexion of the ball game, just wait a minute.

1355
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:46,000
It'll change.

1356
01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:51,000
Del Ennis takes the curve and it's in there. It's an ease for a strike.

1357
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:55,000
No balls, two strikes to count on Del Ennis.

1358
01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:59,000
Boy, that Musial.

1359
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:07,000
Break up a ball game for you in the twinkling of an eye or cemented up or something.

1360
01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:10,000
Jackson going out of the both end now to throw.

1361
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:11,000
Ready.

1362
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:24,000
Pitch is outside. Del Ennis just counted the ball in two strikes.

1363
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:30,000
Back on the one-two count to Ennis. He pitches in there for strike three.

1364
01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:34,000
Ennis drawing up at the score here. Doesn't seem to like it. That's not going to help him much.

1365
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:40,000
Third strike out for Eddie Robots. That's count up the damage here in the sixth inning.

1366
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:45,000
Four big runs for the St. Louis-Cardinal-Santai for ball game.

1367
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:50,000
Only two hits in the inning. A single in the home run, but two walks were in there and figured prominently.

1368
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:53,000
There were no errors and nobody left off.

1369
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:55,000
The score at the end of five and one-half and he's a play.

1370
01:39:55,000 --> 01:39:59,000
It's the St. Louis-Cardinal six that Brooklyn Dodgers have six.

1371
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:02,000
Jerry, I know you've got something, so speak your piece.

1372
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:06,000
Right, Al. Say, fans, ever hear the expression good balls?

1373
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:12,000
Translated, that's baseball talk for a player with sharp eyes and a good sense of the strike zone.

1374
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:17,000
A guy who takes the bat-room fan gets lots of word on the good ones.

1375
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:21,000
Now try this one. Real smoking enjoyment.

1376
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:25,000
If you want to know what that means, just light up a Lucky.

1377
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:28,000
Why a Lucky? That's easy.

1378
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:35,000
A Lucky is a genuine cigarette, all cigarettes, all fine tobacco that's toasted to taste even better.

1379
01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:38,000
Cleaner, fresher, smoother.

1380
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:46,000
Yes sir, smoking a Lucky is a genuine pleasure, a pleasure you can help yourself to right now.

1381
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:55,000
The best tasting cigarette you ever smoked.

1382
01:40:55,000 --> 01:41:00,000
After the six-winning coming on and Lindy McDaniel's little brother, Bob McDaniel,

1383
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:03,000
now comes on to do the pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals.

1384
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:06,000
Ball game all tied up at six tricks.

1385
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:11,000
The Dodgers six runs on nine hits, the Cardinals six runs on nine hits.

1386
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:18,000
A home run by Muzo got it all caught up after Campanella's home run had put the Dodgers out in front by five to one.

1387
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:22,000
So here we go, last of the six-winning and right back to Al.

1388
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:29,000
Did I hear correct, you correctly hear that Lindy McDaniel's little brother, make it younger brother.

1389
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:33,000
I was just going to say this one out there now is about six feet three. He's a pretty good-sized kid.

1390
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:36,000
He was signed by the Cardinals as a three-aged interbonus player.

1391
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:39,000
On the 23rd of May this year he bats and throws right-handed.

1392
01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:44,000
He was born in 1939 of Hollis, Oklahoma.

1393
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:49,000
Six feet two and a half, weighs about 180 pounds, so he gives you the impression he's pretty much of a string bean right-hander.

1394
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:52,000
Sandy Ambrose will bat against him.

1395
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:56,000
Takes the curve from the kid, good for the strike.

1396
01:41:56,000 --> 01:42:05,000
He appeared as Vaughn McDaniel, a bird against the Philadelphia. He has no record.

1397
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,000
He pitched four innings, came in a relief.

1398
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:12,000
Gangly right-hander pitches to Ambrose.

1399
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:17,000
Batting for Robuck doesn't get it.

1400
01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:24,000
So for Sandy now the count is no balls, two strikes.

1401
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:31,000
Six and six, that's the score. So young McDaniel has to assume this ball game.

1402
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:37,000
Both Dixon, Weimar, down to the boards this afternoon.

1403
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:43,000
Dixon off the hook and Weimar cannot win or lose it.

1404
01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:46,000
Gang of lovers, his curve is low.

1405
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:50,000
One ball and two strikes.

1406
01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:55,000
Scott posted incredible records at R.F. High School.

1407
01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:59,000
Three years he won 44 and lost eight.

1408
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:03,000
He's won in a few ball games.

1409
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:07,000
Glevers and Oberhand curve on Ambrose, beat this one up for first base line foul.

1410
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:13,000
One ball, two strikes on Sandy.

1411
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:15,000
What a combination this boy is, McDaniel.

1412
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:24,000
Probably the reason he gets the word Vaughn, he's German-Scotian-Irish descent.

1413
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:26,000
That's mixing up pretty good.

1414
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:31,000
Now the one-two delivery. Down it comes, Ambrose swings and doesn't get a big curve ball.

1415
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:47,000
Strike three. Ambrose batting for Robuck, strikes out.

1416
01:43:47,000 --> 01:44:04,000
Now Jim Gilliam, we've got a crack, batting against this young fellow.

1417
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:09,000
Eighteen-year-older delivers, the curve ball is inside and low.

1418
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:11,000
One ball and no strikes.

1419
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:23,000
Jim Gilliam, single twice, he struck out once. He's two for three, batting at 249.

1420
01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:28,000
One-all delivery, fast ball, hit back foul.

1421
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:37,000
All tied, six and six. Each side having nine base hits.

1422
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:44,000
Robuck is out of the ball game after actually having pitched two innings.

1423
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:52,000
John LeBons, the sole worker down in the Brooklyn goal fans, looks as though Clem will be coming on.

1424
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:56,000
One-one delivery, the curve, nicely in at the knees.

1425
01:44:56,000 --> 01:45:00,000
One ball and two strikes.

1426
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:05,000
Vaughn McDaniel, Lyndon McDaniel's younger brother.

1427
01:45:05,000 --> 01:45:09,000
He's been pitching on the Cardinal staff.

1428
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:13,000
This one is for bonus, baby.

1429
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:17,000
Out there in the mound, great big heave and a side.

1430
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:21,000
Now he lays the course of the stretch, delivers one and two, and the curve is just outside.

1431
01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:30,000
Ball two, two balls, two strikes.

1432
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:35,000
As I guess I should have said, as far as these McDaniel boys are concerned,

1433
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:42,000
this is the youngest of the bonus babies because they both were shying for about 50 grand apiece, reportedly.

1434
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:46,000
Fast ball, swung on, by Gilliam, hit the center field, Ken Boyer, and he strikes out there,

1435
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:52,000
holds it down at the second out, my staff is extending, the bases remain empty.

1436
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:56,000
The better coming on now will be Reese.

1437
01:45:56,000 --> 01:46:01,000
Reese the veteran facing the kid.

1438
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:08,000
Vaughn has just taken his cap off, the Moppy's brow, and you should see the shock of hair he's got.

1439
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:14,000
Stands straight up like a fright wig and cut off close.

1440
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:22,000
Is it the Ivy League style they call that? We used to call it the crew cut, which is which.

1441
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:27,000
Here's Reese. Pitched to arm as well for ball one.

1442
01:46:27,000 --> 01:46:35,000
I can remember that on this field, Reese playing his very first ball game coming up as a Dodger.

1443
01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:43,000
Hasn't changed a great deal.

1444
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:50,000
One-oh pitch, curve on the inside corner to fifths for a strike. One ball, one strike.

1445
01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:54,000
He's gone 0-3 this afternoon, he's about to show up.

1446
01:46:54,000 --> 01:47:03,000
With the base run on the third on mutuals fielding error, on a low throw, and in the fourth fly to left.

1447
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:08,000
Daniel tries fast ball, gets it in at the knee, strike two.

1448
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:25,000
Ball into the strike.

1449
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:30,000
Look, Daniel, rather goccy and gangly.

1450
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:37,000
That's another pitch loose, and Reese takes that in there at the knee, it's a fast strike three, and that was a fast-breaking curve ball.

1451
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:42,000
Captain's called out on strikes, nothing across in sixth inning.

1452
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:45,000
John McDaniel hangs up two strikeouts in pitching one inning.

1453
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:49,000
Score at the end of sixth inning to play. St. Louis six runs, nine hits, two errors.

1454
01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:51,000
Brookman six runs, nine hits, and no errors.

1455
01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:56,000
That's a bunch of errors all over the place this afternoon, so let's get to the lucky strike scoreboard.

1456
01:47:56,000 --> 01:48:01,000
Jerry, high it out on the ball game with the Polar Grounds at the end of seven and a half.

1457
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:03,000
Cincinnati three, the Giants one.

1458
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:07,000
The first game from Philadelphia, three to two, Ferdow the winner over Melo the loser.

1459
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:11,000
Second game, it'll be Burnett and Simmons, and no score at the end of one.

1460
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:15,000
Chicago beat Pittsburgh four to one, Kaiser the winner over Arloia.

1461
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:18,000
And the second game, it'll be Rush and Perky.

1462
01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:25,000
The Cubs now are beating the Pirates three straight after the Pirates have knocked off the red legs four in a row, so how do you figure it?

1463
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:29,000
The Yankees and Kansas City game at the end of three innings, no score.

1464
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:35,000
Johnny Cooks against Morgan, Washington, Chicago, it's four to two, Chicago at the end of six and a half.

1465
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:38,000
Baltimore, Cleveland, first game, four to three.

1466
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:44,000
Cleveland leads at the end of eight innings of play, and Detroit leads Boston one-nothing at the end of six innings of play.

1467
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:47,000
And that's everything right off the lucky strike scoreboard.

1468
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:52,000
Well, you know, sitting here and watching that young Wendy McDaniel, I wonder how the kid feels.

1469
01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:56,000
A month ago he was a high school student out in a little town in Oklahoma.

1470
01:48:56,000 --> 01:49:03,000
Here he is in the biggest city in the country, facing golfers like Amarose, Gilliam, and Reese, and just whipped cool with a cucumber.

1471
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:04,000
How about that?

1472
01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:08,000
Yeah, reminds of young Bob Taylor who came in and cut the other night for the Braves.

1473
01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:15,000
I wonder how he felt. I guess you could say that they felt about the same because it wasn't so long ago he was catching for his high school too out in Metropolis.

1474
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:21,000
That's what makes baseball a great game, Al, when kids can come out of high school like that and with all that ability come out up here and play it.

1475
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:23,000
Yeah, how old do you feel today, Dad?

1476
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:27,000
Four-foot-sixteen. Hello.

1477
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:28,000
Yes sir.

1478
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:34,000
I don't know. There's something about this great game of baseball that keeps you thinking young, feeling young.

1479
01:49:34,000 --> 01:49:38,000
Young boy who's up there now to face Clem LeBarn who hooks him and is in there for a strike.

1480
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:47,000
Clem LeBarn coming on.

1481
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:51,000
Clem LeBarn has won three and has lost one. He saved eight ball games for Brooklyn.

1482
01:49:51,000 --> 01:50:10,000
This has come on as a long drive deep to left field as the well hit ball and it is gone into the left field stand for a home run for Boyer.

1483
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:13,000
Boyer hitting his seventh home run.

1484
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:15,000
Two home runs have been poked here.

1485
01:50:15,000 --> 01:50:22,000
They send those Cardinals this afternoon. The match is for two, hit by Brooklyn, one by Campanella, one by Drysdale.

1486
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:30,000
Oh, the Cardinals move out in front, seven to six.

1487
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:37,000
Another thousand lucky for our honored hospitals on this broadcast.

1488
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:46,000
By the moon up there taking a strike. Our honored hospitals for this broadcast this afternoon.

1489
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:51,000
The United States Army hospitals at Fort Monmouth down at West Point.

1490
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:57,000
The result so far of today's play at 4,000.

1491
01:50:57,000 --> 01:51:12,000
Lucky's on earmarked and ready for him. Moon swings on the next pitch, misses up strike two.

1492
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:17,000
LeBarn ready to pitch again now to Moon.

1493
01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:40,000
Starts his motion, delivers on to, touch ball, outside, one ball and two strikes.

1494
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:49,000
Moon backing off McCurrball and hooks in over the pitts. That's ball two, two balls and two strikes.

1495
01:51:49,000 --> 01:52:05,000
The other night against the Wave's, LeBarn came in and saved the ball again.

1496
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:11,000
That's ball just outside, down to three and two now to Moon.

1497
01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:18,000
Then came on the 13th.

1498
01:52:18,000 --> 01:52:24,000
And last one, lucky's first ball game. Big walk in the crowd, John Stadding in the last half of the eighth inning.

1499
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:29,000
He'll come up with three runs to move out in front of Cincinnati, four to three.

1500
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:36,000
They're still at bat. LeBarn pitches, low, ball four.

1501
01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:58,000
Clem gives up, first pitch on balls.

1502
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:01,000
Back to the plate now as they catch it for St. Louis.

1503
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:04,000
Toby Landriff, he's gone over two. He walked his last time out.

1504
01:53:04,000 --> 01:53:09,000
It was in the sixth with the leadoff man. He scored one of the seven runs the Cardinals now have.

1505
01:53:09,000 --> 01:53:15,000
LeBarn whittles through to the first. Moon has to dive in on his stomach.

1506
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:24,000
Down on the Brooklyn bullpen, right-hander Don Besson gets up and starts the throw.

1507
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:30,000
LeBarn has been having trouble with his shoulder, his left shoulder.

1508
01:53:30,000 --> 01:53:36,000
Ready to work to Landriff, but he backs away from the plate and calls for time.

1509
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:43,000
Here on the seventh, Boyers leadoff home run has given the St. Louis Cardinals a one-run ball.

1510
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:47,000
Moon has walked, he's on it first. Roseboro holds the corner.

1511
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:51,000
And Landriff is the batter to be followed by Casco.

1512
01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:55,000
The final set delivers. Hit the swung out. Almost hits LeBarn in the face as it goes by.

1513
01:53:55,000 --> 01:54:07,000
Ripped out in the center field. Moon goes down a second to hold on as Landriff singles Chaffee to center.

1514
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:13,000
That's the second hit off LeBarn. Now he's got trouble on the bases behind him. Runners are first and second.

1515
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:18,000
He's given up one run on the home run to Boyer here in the seventh inning.

1516
01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:22,000
That draws the conference to a mound.

1517
01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:56,000
The plate out of Casco. They're expecting him to bump the infield poles in.

1518
01:54:56,000 --> 01:55:00,000
Kerr falls to him as outside. He gives no indication and takes ball one.

1519
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:04,000
Runners are first and second. Nobody out in the seventh.

1520
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:10,000
The Cardinals have gone ahead. On Boyer's home run they lead seven-six.

1521
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:15,000
Putting on the double play here in the seventh inning with Moon at second and Landriff on the first.

1522
01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:20,000
LeBarn ready. Delivers to Casco. A bit swung on and bounded down to shortstop.

1523
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:23,000
Knee ruffles. He goes to second for one to throw on the first.

1524
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:27,000
There's the double play with Moon moving over to third.

1525
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:34,000
Going down to Learmark. Another thousand lucky for a VA hospital.

1526
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:38,000
But one left and right point. That's an Army hospital.

1527
01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:52,000
Casco hitting into a double play.

1528
01:55:52,000 --> 01:55:58,000
Now we're waiting for a batter to come out of there. It should be Vaughn McDaniel.

1529
01:55:58,000 --> 01:56:17,000
He's looking around for a half. Hard half at pitching. And here comes the kid.

1530
01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:20,000
He was out there stuffing that ball in pretty well in the sixth inning.

1531
01:56:20,000 --> 01:56:25,000
Let's see how he is for the backman.

1532
01:56:25,000 --> 01:56:30,000
One up third. That's Wally Moon. One run has been scored.

1533
01:56:30,000 --> 01:56:35,000
Seven to six ball game for every St. Lawrence.

1534
01:56:35,000 --> 01:56:38,000
LeBarn delivers pass ball. Kid takes it low.

1535
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:44,000
He stands about three-quarters deep at the plate. Slightly open stance.

1536
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:47,000
Sort of cautious and holds it that way down with a knob.

1537
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:50,000
Six feet, two and a half. He has plenty of swinging room.

1538
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:54,000
Moon a couple of chopping steps down up third as LeBarn delivers the strike.

1539
01:56:54,000 --> 01:57:12,000
One ball and one strike.

1540
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:17,000
LeBarn taking plenty of time.

1541
01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:28,000
Looks over at third now. Looks down. Delivers one run. The pitch is swung around and missed. Strike two.

1542
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:32,000
First game of the doubleheader. Cleveland pulls it out. Beats Baltimore 4-3.

1543
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:37,000
Ball runs. Six hits and an error. Baltimore three runs. Nine hits. One error.

1544
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:41,000
Johnson lost it. Connie Johnson. And Raynard Lipski won it for Cleveland.

1545
01:57:41,000 --> 01:57:45,000
First game of the doubleheader. 4-3 Cleveland over Baltimore.

1546
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:48,000
Third ball swung around and missed. Strike three.

1547
01:57:48,000 --> 01:57:51,000
Well, that's all. That's McDaniel.

1548
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:54,000
Strikes out. Ten things in the seventh inning.

1549
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:58,000
One run. There were two base hits.

1550
01:57:58,000 --> 01:58:01,000
There was only one man left on thanks to the double play.

1551
01:58:01,000 --> 01:58:04,000
Another score at the end of six and a half innings of play.

1552
01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:10,000
It is St. Louis seven and the Boston Dodgers have six.

1553
01:58:10,000 --> 01:58:17,000
Well, fans, what do you say we listen in on some thoughts as expressed by a Dodger fan who incidentally is also a lucky smoker.

1554
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:20,000
Okay? Well, let's go.

1555
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:25,000
Well, lucky seventh. Time for all the hometown fans to stand up and be counted.

1556
01:58:25,000 --> 01:58:28,000
I guess I'll do likewise.

1557
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:33,000
Stretch way out. Oh boy, that feels good.

1558
01:58:33,000 --> 01:58:39,000
Now, where are my lucky fresh pack? Nothing like it.

1559
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:45,000
Lucky seventh and a lucky strike.

1560
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:47,000
Oh boy, that's crazy.

1561
01:58:47,000 --> 01:58:50,000
They're not just talking when they say luckies taste better.

1562
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:53,000
Tell you how much better. You light one up.

1563
01:58:53,000 --> 01:59:15,000
You'll say a lucky is the best tasting cigarette you ever smoked.

1564
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:24,000
Go with a little hand clapping music by Gladys Giddings. We have had the seventh inning stretch.

1565
01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:29,000
Offensively, we go to the last half of the seventh inning. Snider, Vero and Somoli up in that order.

1566
01:59:29,000 --> 01:59:35,000
It's a seven and six ball game with young Vaughn McDaniel.

1567
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:44,000
Eighteen-year-old youngster on the mound for St. Louis. It's his ball game to win or to lose it. He has the one run and balls to go on.

1568
01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:49,000
Snider standing in has two base hits and an intentional base on balls.

1569
01:59:49,000 --> 01:59:52,000
So he's perfect so far for today, two for two.

1570
01:59:52,000 --> 01:59:57,000
Daniel delivers him. Snider goes after it and doesn't get it.

1571
01:59:57,000 --> 02:00:03,000
Snider batting a two, six, four.

1572
02:00:03,000 --> 02:00:06,000
Del Mazzallo hanging around to be the next batsman.

1573
02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:12,000
Young McDaniel pulls at the peak of his gap, straightens the headpiece, and now he's ready to go.

1574
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:15,000
Waving that bat back and forth menacingly.

1575
02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:20,000
The pitch, Duke backs off and takes a curve in off the fifth for ball one.

1576
02:00:20,000 --> 02:00:27,000
Soon as we find out what happens with Duke-Snider,

1577
02:00:27,000 --> 02:00:35,000
we'll have the stations identify themselves, so stand by close to the switches, fellas.

1578
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:37,000
Off for the one-one delivery.

1579
02:00:37,000 --> 02:00:43,000
McDaniel cuts it loose. Snider looks at it and it costs him. It's in there. Strike two.

1580
02:00:43,000 --> 02:00:53,000
It's a nice curve ball.

1581
02:00:53,000 --> 02:01:00,000
Mopi Lander working behind the plate for St. Louis, trying to help pay Sean McDaniel.

1582
02:01:00,000 --> 02:01:04,000
Now for a little fun. Got to watch out for signs.

1583
02:01:04,000 --> 02:01:10,000
McDaniel's ready. The one-two pitch to Duke-Snider. Down it comes. Curve ball, and it's swung on, hit foul.

1584
02:01:10,000 --> 02:01:16,000
Actually hit foul and hit the foot of Snider and rolled out toward the mound, but foul ball.

1585
02:01:16,000 --> 02:01:22,000
On the count of one ball, two strikes.

1586
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:33,000
Seven-one. On eleven base hits for St. Louis, Brooklyn six runs on nine base hits.

1587
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:37,000
New York Beach, Cincinnati four-three.

1588
02:01:37,000 --> 02:01:39,000
Single ball game.

1589
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:49,000
John's four and the Cincinnati Red Lakes three. Final score.

1590
02:01:49,000 --> 02:02:00,000
One-two delivery. Snider swings. He doesn't get a fast-taking curve ball off the fist.

1591
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:06,000
That's the third strikeout for young Vaughn McDaniel.

1592
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:12,000
In the sixth inning, he struck out Amarose batting for Robuck.

1593
02:02:12,000 --> 02:02:18,000
Had Gilliam Plow to send in and got Reese on cold strikes.

1594
02:02:18,000 --> 02:02:23,000
So his taste for men has struck out three. Now he'll pitch to Elmavalo.

1595
02:02:23,000 --> 02:02:28,000
Eddie Casco comes across in third base to say something young McDaniel.

1596
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:32,000
Skinny right-hander, goes to the rosin side.

1597
02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:36,000
Moves up there, his fellow left-hand hitter digs in.

1598
02:02:36,000 --> 02:02:40,000
Elmavalo this afternoon is 0-3. He scored one run.

1599
02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:43,000
In third, and he was on.

1600
02:02:43,000 --> 02:02:54,000
Now a force out. Takes a curve ball, and that's in there for a strike.

1601
02:02:54,000 --> 02:02:58,000
Young McDaniel is spinning in there pretty well this afternoon.

1602
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:00,000
It's his ball game. The winner doesn't lose it.

1603
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:04,000
He leads it 7-6. St. Louis 7 and Brooklyn 6.

1604
02:03:04,000 --> 02:03:08,000
Pitches. Vallow swings. Hits a fly ball to deep left field. Going back at Moone to the wall.

1605
02:03:08,000 --> 02:03:12,000
He leaps. He cannot get it. He bounces off the wall. Elmavalo on his way to second.

1606
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:15,000
Deans in there with a two-bagger.

1607
02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:20,000
That ball missed just by about a quarter-so. Going into a left field fan.

1608
02:03:20,000 --> 02:03:27,000
Elmavalo hitting an outside pitch for a double for the field.

1609
02:03:27,000 --> 02:03:37,000
Young McDaniel has been jolted for the first time.

1610
02:03:37,000 --> 02:03:40,000
Here's another guy who can jolt you if he gets a hold of it.

1611
02:03:40,000 --> 02:03:43,000
Gino Simoli.

1612
02:03:43,000 --> 02:03:48,000
I'll tell you, the fiscal kid has had one base hit this afternoon in three times up.

1613
02:03:48,000 --> 02:03:50,000
He struck out his last time. That was in the fifth inning.

1614
02:03:50,000 --> 02:03:55,000
The only time he got on base he came in as one of the runs to score when Campanella

1615
02:03:55,000 --> 02:04:00,000
in the third inning unloaded his ninth home run of the year.

1616
02:04:00,000 --> 02:04:05,000
It's 238th in his major league career for three runs.

1617
02:04:05,000 --> 02:04:08,000
7-6 to score. The Dodgers setting the tide here with one out for seventh.

1618
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:11,000
Elmavalo on his second base.

1619
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:14,000
McDaniel set. Looks at second. Delivered.

1620
02:04:14,000 --> 02:04:31,000
Only takes low and outside's the ball one.

1621
02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:33,000
Delavalo takes a short lead at second base.

1622
02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:38,000
Stands up there hands on hips.

1623
02:04:38,000 --> 02:04:43,000
Elvin Dart pulled down a couple steps more on our sort of third base

1624
02:04:43,000 --> 02:04:45,000
and he's back deep at short.

1625
02:04:45,000 --> 02:04:49,000
That feels about straight away to Simoli. They're planning deep.

1626
02:04:49,000 --> 02:04:51,000
Right hand hitter with an overly close stance.

1627
02:04:51,000 --> 02:04:53,000
Gino McDaniel with the stretch.

1628
02:04:53,000 --> 02:04:57,000
Comes up. Delivers. A sidearm curve that's low and away outside.

1629
02:04:57,000 --> 02:05:03,000
Ball two.

1630
02:05:03,000 --> 02:05:11,000
Now this will be the first chance we will have had to watch McDaniel work with pressure on his shoulders.

1631
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:14,000
Elvavalo in scoring position at second.

1632
02:05:14,000 --> 02:05:17,000
Simoli to be followed by Campanella.

1633
02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:22,000
7-6. That's the score. Faber St. Louis.

1634
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:28,000
Brown delivers. His curve is nicely in at the knees for a strike one.

1635
02:05:28,000 --> 02:05:36,000
Two balls and one strike.

1636
02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:43,000
At the end of three innings, the Yankees nothing in Kansas City, nothing in their ball game, not at KC.

1637
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:48,000
Repeating the Giants beat Cincinnati this afternoon, 4-3.

1638
02:05:48,000 --> 02:05:50,000
McDaniel ready.

1639
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:54,000
Two ones to break. Fitz-Fong on. Hit up the first base tie.

1640
02:05:54,000 --> 02:05:55,000
Testos. Makes his play hurriedly.

1641
02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:59,000
The San Mugello is out of hold. Second is the second up.

1642
02:05:59,000 --> 02:06:02,000
Now before we have Campy up there, let's pause for station identification now.

1643
02:06:02,000 --> 02:06:05,000
This is the Brooklyn Dodger, radio network.

1644
02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:08,000
Dial 1460WOKO Albany.

1645
02:06:08,000 --> 02:06:22,000
WOKO, the capital district's most talked about station with downtown studios in the Hotel Wellington.

1646
02:06:22,000 --> 02:06:25,000
Roy Campanella starting to dig in now for the Dodgers.

1647
02:06:25,000 --> 02:06:26,000
Has single.

1648
02:06:26,000 --> 02:06:28,000
Had a three run home run.

1649
02:06:28,000 --> 02:06:30,000
And has walked.

1650
02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:37,000
Campy's batting average stands right this minute at 281.

1651
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:42,000
The Albany, the lone base runner for the Dodgers, non of the second.

1652
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:52,000
McDaniel check-team delivers a curve to Campanella at the knees on the corner for a strike.

1653
02:06:52,000 --> 02:07:01,000
Three years of high school competition. This young fellow won 44 and lost 8.

1654
02:07:01,000 --> 02:07:06,000
Very incredible record.

1655
02:07:06,000 --> 02:07:08,000
Skinny left hander ready.

1656
02:07:08,000 --> 02:07:11,000
Sets. Delivers.

1657
02:07:11,000 --> 02:07:17,000
A curve into the dirt, blocked by the chest of Bobby Landrup, his catcher.

1658
02:07:17,000 --> 02:07:26,000
I don't know of anybody in the business of working behind the plate that scrambles more than Bobby Landrup does.

1659
02:07:26,000 --> 02:07:31,000
He's fighting that ball all the time he's in there.

1660
02:07:31,000 --> 02:07:36,000
He'll dive to his knees, he'll jump out on his chest.

1661
02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:40,000
He'll do anything to get a hold of a baseball.

1662
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:42,000
Now the one-one delivery.

1663
02:07:42,000 --> 02:07:47,000
He hits a swung on the Campanella, bounding ball is short. Dark is up with it. Oops, he threw it across the diamond to Musial.

1664
02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:52,000
And that's all for the Dodgers, left and seven.

1665
02:07:52,000 --> 02:07:58,000
No runs, one hit for Brooklyn. One man was left on. No errors. Underscore at the end of seven.

1666
02:07:58,000 --> 02:08:04,000
Hit a single seven runs, 11 hits, two errors. Brooklyn six runs, 10 hits and no errors.

1667
02:08:04,000 --> 02:08:08,000
And now let's have a word from Jerry Darvidge. You've been resting quite a while, Jerry.

1668
02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:13,000
Now, say you got your copy of the new Shaper Lucky Strike Baseball Guide and Record Book yet?

1669
02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:19,000
This handy little book is a must for baseball fans and particularly Dodger fans.

1670
02:08:19,000 --> 02:08:30,000
159 pages of records, diagrams of the ball parks, team rosters including uniform numbers, World Series and All-Star Game statistics, and much, much more.

1671
02:08:30,000 --> 02:08:38,000
If you want to get your copy, send 50 cents, your name and address to Baseball Guide, Box 35, Brooklyn One, New York.

1672
02:08:38,000 --> 02:08:42,000
Baseball Guide, Box 35, Brooklyn One, New York.

1673
02:08:42,000 --> 02:08:53,000
Yes sir, the Shaper Lucky Strike Guide and Record Book is really something. So order yours right away today.

1674
02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:58,000
Well, we go to the eighth inning now with the top of the Cardinal batting order coming on to face Clem LeVine.

1675
02:08:58,000 --> 02:09:05,000
The Cardinals lead it by 7-6 score. The margin now supplied by Kenny Boyard's leadoff home run against LeVine in the seventh inning.

1676
02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:14,000
Dodgers missed out on a chance by Elmer Vallow there in the seventh inning. Elmer's ball just missed by inches of going into the left field stands to tie it up.

1677
02:09:14,000 --> 02:09:22,000
Elmer got the second, was left-handed there. So we go to play in the eighth inning and again for Lucky Strike, here's Al.

1678
02:09:22,000 --> 02:09:28,000
Don Blessingame will leap things off for these English Cardinals. He'll be starting their fifth batting around.

1679
02:09:28,000 --> 02:09:37,000
He's been called out on strikes. He's tapped to the mound. He's tripled the right center and single the center. He has two for four.

1680
02:09:37,000 --> 02:09:45,000
Don, slender, left-hand batter, going along at 3-0-1. Clem LeVine ready to go to work.

1681
02:09:45,000 --> 02:10:00,000
That's a slender ball game. He's the pitcher of record now for Brooklyn. Delivers the pitcher, the fastball, through to Elmer's strike.

1682
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:26,000
This is Hughes for the pitchers. This is the third one to work for the dots. Fastball, right in there again. That's strike two.

1683
02:10:26,000 --> 02:10:35,000
Ready, D-O-2 pitch. Blessingame looks. A lot of curveball is outside. One ball and two strikes.

1684
02:10:35,000 --> 02:10:40,000
In fact, to remind you all that we have a very interesting between-game show lined up today.

1685
02:10:40,000 --> 02:10:49,000
The Shinnikok Indian Reservation from Southampton, Long Island, going to put on some of their Indian dancers right here on the field.

1686
02:10:49,000 --> 02:11:04,000
That's a song on. Missed. Strike three. That's all for Blessingame. Strikes out for LeVine here in the eighth inning. Clem is first strikeout.

1687
02:11:04,000 --> 02:11:14,000
Back that up. Make that the second strikeout for LeVine.

1688
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:19,000
Alvin Barks about it. That's the first pitch and hits the bounding ball to second. Gilliam gloves it.

1689
02:11:19,000 --> 02:11:29,000
On the come in, throws the Rosebird first, and that's it for the Fedlowe shortstop. Two down. Out of now is Sam Neuvio.

1690
02:11:29,000 --> 02:11:36,000
Like we said a minute ago, we have some interesting goings on here at Epitts Field in between games.

1691
02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:46,000
We have a real live Indian princess. Noah Donah. She'll describe them to the folks.

1692
02:11:46,000 --> 02:11:53,000
Describe them to you too, so stay tuned between games today for the Shinnikok Indians from Southampton, Long Island.

1693
02:11:53,000 --> 02:11:59,000
That'll be something.

1694
02:11:59,000 --> 02:12:06,000
Sam Neuvio. Twice a single, once a small one. And four times up.

1695
02:12:06,000 --> 02:12:22,000
And the lifting that batting percentage up quite well. He's batting at 364. Takes the LeVine pass it ball. A giant football one.

1696
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:31,000
Cranks up again. Fires that pitch in there. Muse you laughter. Peels it back foul. One ball and one strike.

1697
02:12:31,000 --> 02:12:50,000
If you're not keeping score with us and you're looking ahead to the last half of the inning, it'll be Roseboro, Neal, and the pitcher's spot coming up.

1698
02:12:50,000 --> 02:12:56,000
Neuvio letting Muse cool out a little bit while he grinds a new ball around the palms of his hands.

1699
02:12:56,000 --> 02:13:05,000
Now the one-one delivery. A little outside. Ball two. Two balls, one strike.

1700
02:13:05,000 --> 02:13:10,000
On Sam the man. Two down. The bases empty in the top of the eighth inning.

1701
02:13:10,000 --> 02:13:16,000
St. Louis seven. Brooklyn six. New York took Cincinnati this afternoon in the single game at the Polo grounds.

1702
02:13:16,000 --> 02:13:22,000
The final score was four out of three. Jots coming from behind to win it.

1703
02:13:22,000 --> 02:13:29,000
There ball. It's going on. But Muse went back up into right field. Coming on is Gino Somoli looking up into the sun and balls it down.

1704
02:13:29,000 --> 02:13:37,000
So that's the cause of the side in the eighth inning. For St. Louis they go down and bumping across. That's only the second time they've gone down flat.

1705
02:13:37,000 --> 02:13:42,000
Score at the end of seven and a half innings now at St. Louis seven. And the Brooklyn Dodgers have six.

1706
02:13:42,000 --> 02:13:48,000
James, now for a quick trip to the captain's corner. Captain Peely, you're up.

1707
02:13:48,000 --> 02:13:54,000
I'm often asked to name my all-time all-star team of fellas I've played against. It's a tough thing to do.

1708
02:13:54,000 --> 02:14:00,000
And you will notice I have listed quite a few cardinals, but they have had some great clubs during my career.

1709
02:14:00,000 --> 02:14:08,000
Well, here it goes. First base, Johnny Mize. Second base, Red Shandies. Third base, Whitey Kurowski.

1710
02:14:08,000 --> 02:14:16,000
Shortstop, Alvin Dark. Left field, Enos Slaughter. Center field, Willie Maze. Right field, Stan Musial.

1711
02:14:16,000 --> 02:14:21,000
Best pitcher, Ewell Blackwell. Man, he was a nasty one on that mound.

1712
02:14:21,000 --> 02:14:28,000
The all-around best hitter would have to be Stan Musial. I guess it's the kind of a team a manager dreams about.

1713
02:14:28,000 --> 02:14:34,000
Well spoken, Captain Reese. Got a suggestion for you before we focus back on the game, fans.

1714
02:14:34,000 --> 02:14:40,000
Light up a Lucky and enjoy the genuine pleasure of a genuine cigarette.

1715
02:14:40,000 --> 02:14:47,000
You say a Lucky is the best tasting cigarette you ever smoked.

1716
02:14:47,000 --> 02:14:53,000
Last of the eighth Dodgers coming on with Roseboro, Neal and LeBiondo up here to face young Vaughn McDaniel.

1717
02:14:53,000 --> 02:14:56,000
So back to play, and here again is Al.

1718
02:14:56,000 --> 02:15:02,000
Johnny Roseboro has struck out his farthest left, his proper first. He's 0-3 for this one.

1719
02:15:02,000 --> 02:15:09,000
Playing his third game at first base since having been brought in from Montreal.

1720
02:15:09,000 --> 02:15:18,000
And on the way up base hits, Roseboro has one base hit. He got a bunch of singles.

1721
02:15:18,000 --> 02:15:24,000
He's 1-11, hitting at 0-91, the fan batter.

1722
02:15:24,000 --> 02:15:31,000
Vaughn McDaniel, 18-year-old right-hander, kicks and throws a curve. It's a little, the Roseboro for ball one.

1723
02:15:31,000 --> 02:15:35,000
The press and gets up and starts to throw now on the Brooklyn bullpen.

1724
02:15:35,000 --> 02:15:43,000
Probably will have a hitter for LeBion in the last half of this eighth inning.

1725
02:15:43,000 --> 02:15:52,000
Vaughn McDaniel delivers again to this left-hander. Roseboro after, golfs one foul down the first base side, back into the crowd out of play.

1726
02:15:52,000 --> 02:15:55,000
One ball and one strike.

1727
02:15:55,000 --> 02:16:02,000
Three innings of their second game. It's Milwaukee nothing and Philadelphia nothing.

1728
02:16:02,000 --> 02:16:10,000
Lou Bredette going against Kurt Simmons. The first game went to Milwaukee, 3-2.

1729
02:16:10,000 --> 02:16:15,000
Chicago to Pittsburgh in their first game, 4-1.

1730
02:16:15,000 --> 02:16:19,000
Curve ball to Roseboro is high on outside. Two balls and one strike.

1731
02:16:19,000 --> 02:16:25,000
In the second game of the doubleheader at Pittsburgh, at the end of two innings, the Pirates lead the Cubs 2-1.

1732
02:16:25,000 --> 02:16:33,000
And at the end of four and a half innings, Kansas City leads Yankees 2-0.

1733
02:16:33,000 --> 02:16:36,000
Got a final here for you in the first game. We'll give it to you in a minute.

1734
02:16:36,000 --> 02:16:42,000
Last ball, Roseboro cuts and doesn't get it. That's like two. Two balls, two strikes.

1735
02:16:42,000 --> 02:16:49,000
The Chicago Whites are having their first game with Washington. Lead them 4-2. Jim Wilson won another one.

1736
02:16:49,000 --> 02:16:59,000
And Pete Ramos lost it for Washington. 4-2 final, Chicago over Washington, first of two.

1737
02:16:59,000 --> 02:17:05,000
The two-two delivery to Roseboro. Curve ball and he swings and misses, strike three.

1738
02:17:05,000 --> 02:17:12,000
McDaniel's pulling that ball in there. One of them has got four strikeouts now.

1739
02:17:12,000 --> 02:17:22,000
See, he came out in the sixth inning. Set four men down in order, three by strikeouts.

1740
02:17:22,000 --> 02:17:30,000
And then Ballot doubled. Now he's got three more down.

1741
02:17:30,000 --> 02:17:37,000
Facing eight men, he struck out four of them. Charlie Neal about it.

1742
02:17:37,000 --> 02:17:40,000
Charlie's drawn the horse collar so far. He's open three.

1743
02:17:40,000 --> 02:17:48,000
And a pitch hits him on the left hip. Soft curve ball. He twists but can't get away from it. So Neal is on.

1744
02:17:48,000 --> 02:18:05,000
Carl Frillo's going to come up to bat now for LeBine.

1745
02:18:05,000 --> 02:18:12,000
Well, Charlie Neal, face runner, represents the tying line for Brooklyn. John at first base, hit for the pitch.

1746
02:18:12,000 --> 02:18:23,000
Carl Frillo, right-hand hitter, moving on to bat for Kremlin-LeBine.

1747
02:18:23,000 --> 02:18:38,000
Carl batting at 276, 276.

1748
02:18:38,000 --> 02:18:43,000
John went on, last of the eighth inning. Seven to six to score, St. Louis.

1749
02:18:43,000 --> 02:18:49,000
Carl Frillo batting for LeBine. Swings on the pitch and hits a hard-line ball.

1750
02:18:49,000 --> 02:18:54,000
He's straight away from the field. Let's play a ball, and Boyer's under it and holds it down.

1751
02:18:54,000 --> 02:19:01,000
Hersey's throw in and Charlie Neal, halfway to second, has to come back.

1752
02:19:01,000 --> 02:19:08,000
Two down in the last of the eighth inning, about an hour to Jim Gilliam.

1753
02:19:08,000 --> 02:19:14,000
John Fitchburg, at the end of the second inning, out there, doubleheader.

1754
02:19:14,000 --> 02:19:22,000
Wayne has come down and is holding up the ball game. Fitchburg lost the first one. Chicago took them 4-1.

1755
02:19:22,000 --> 02:19:27,000
At the end of four innings, now it's Milwaukee nothing, Philadelphia nothing in their nightcap game.

1756
02:19:27,000 --> 02:19:34,000
Milwaukee took the first from 3-2. John beats Cincinnati in a single game at the Polo grounds for 3.

1757
02:19:34,000 --> 02:19:38,000
At the end of five, Kansas City leads the Yankees 2-0.

1758
02:19:38,000 --> 02:19:44,000
Now let's take a look and see what happens with Gilliam.

1759
02:19:44,000 --> 02:19:51,000
McDaniel checks his runner, looks at Gilliam, feeds a curve into him, and junior slaps a foul on first base.

1760
02:19:51,000 --> 02:19:55,000
No balls and one strike.

1761
02:19:55,000 --> 02:20:00,000
Gilliam's got four times, he's single twice, he's struck out once and fly to center.

1762
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:04,000
Batting at 2.48.

1763
02:20:04,000 --> 02:20:08,000
Dodgers have a tying run on here in the eighth inning at first base.

1764
02:20:08,000 --> 02:20:15,000
The card moves lead them 7-6.

1765
02:20:15,000 --> 02:20:19,000
McDaniel eyes his runner, Charlie Neal, then looks down at Gilliam, delivers, there goes Neal,

1766
02:20:19,000 --> 02:20:25,000
he's going on and looks out into the field, coming on for it, his moon, and he's got it.

1767
02:20:25,000 --> 02:20:28,000
Well that's all in the eighth inning for Brooklyn.

1768
02:20:28,000 --> 02:20:30,000
The run to win O-Base hits.

1769
02:20:30,000 --> 02:20:34,000
The hit by Smith left one man on, Charlie Neal started his first.

1770
02:20:34,000 --> 02:20:40,000
Goal to score at the end of eight, four innings of play. St. Louis 7 and the Brooklyn Dodgers have 6.

1771
02:20:40,000 --> 02:20:42,000
Gilliam, you got a word for it?

1772
02:20:42,000 --> 02:20:46,000
They got the time now, it's exactly 4.55.

1773
02:20:46,000 --> 02:20:52,000
It's Sunday night time here in Brooklyn and it's light up time, time to light up the lucky.

1774
02:20:52,000 --> 02:21:00,000
So stack them up, stretch out and get set to enjoy the best tasting cigarette you ever smoked, Lucky Strikes.

1775
02:21:00,000 --> 02:21:06,000
You know, fans, a lucky stops at any league and no wonder, it's all cigarettes.

1776
02:21:06,000 --> 02:21:14,000
At time with nothing but time, naturally good tasting tobacco, tobacco that's toasted to taste even better.

1777
02:21:14,000 --> 02:21:17,000
Two, striker, smoother, you bet.

1778
02:21:17,000 --> 02:21:21,000
Make your next pack, Lucky Strikes.

1779
02:21:21,000 --> 02:21:25,000
See if you don't say a lucky is the best tasting cigarette you ever smoked.

1780
02:21:30,000 --> 02:21:36,000
Going to the ninth inning, Dallinus do it for the Cardinals and coming on to the Dodgers is Don Besson to replace Levine.

1781
02:21:36,000 --> 02:21:39,000
Levine would opt for a pinch hitter, Carl Flullo.

1782
02:21:39,000 --> 02:21:42,000
So back to the action and here's Al.

1783
02:21:42,000 --> 02:21:46,000
All right, Jerry, Don Besson is appearing in his 11th ball game, all in relief.

1784
02:21:46,000 --> 02:21:48,000
He's pitched 22 innings.

1785
02:21:48,000 --> 02:21:50,000
His record with the league is one win and two losses.

1786
02:21:50,000 --> 02:21:53,000
His earned run average is 5.73.

1787
02:21:53,000 --> 02:21:58,000
Don Besson out there in the mound now, smooth and dirt, standing outside.

1788
02:21:58,000 --> 02:22:01,000
Not his boss waiting to get up there.

1789
02:22:01,000 --> 02:22:05,000
The Del Hennets, then will come Ken Boyer and Wally Moon.

1790
02:22:05,000 --> 02:22:09,000
If you're looking farther ahead than that through the last half of the ninth inning,

1791
02:22:09,000 --> 02:22:12,000
that's going to be the meat end of the batting order for Brooklyn.

1792
02:22:12,000 --> 02:22:14,000
Reese will lead it off, followed by Snyder and then by Vallow.

1793
02:22:14,000 --> 02:22:18,000
If anyone else is needed, Gino Simoli.

1794
02:22:18,000 --> 02:22:22,000
It's a seven to six ball game, with the St. Louis Cardinals leading by the one run.

1795
02:22:22,000 --> 02:22:24,000
They have seven runs on 11 hits.

1796
02:22:24,000 --> 02:22:25,000
They have two errors.

1797
02:22:25,000 --> 02:22:28,000
And for Brooklyn, six runs, 10 hits and no errors.

1798
02:22:28,000 --> 02:22:37,000
The pitchers of record are Vaughn McDaniel for St. Louis and Glenn LeBine of Brooklyn.

1799
02:22:37,000 --> 02:22:41,000
They're now out of the ball game and Besson is on here to pitch in the ninth inning.

1800
02:22:41,000 --> 02:22:45,000
So we shall see what we shall see as Del Hennets steps up to the plate.

1801
02:22:45,000 --> 02:22:52,000
Del single-tries both times to left field and then the next two times up struck out.

1802
02:22:52,000 --> 02:22:54,000
Still for four.

1803
02:22:54,000 --> 02:22:56,000
Hennets batting a 2.63.

1804
02:22:56,000 --> 02:22:59,000
Right-hander hit her.

1805
02:22:59,000 --> 02:23:01,000
Besson, right-hander gets ready.

1806
02:23:01,000 --> 02:23:18,000
She delivers an overhand fastball and pops that one through for a strike.

1807
02:23:18,000 --> 02:23:23,000
Hennets turns and says something to Sir Corey.

1808
02:23:23,000 --> 02:23:26,000
Now Besson says, is that one pitch?

1809
02:23:26,000 --> 02:23:36,000
Another overhand fastball and it's pitched in the corner. That's strike two.

1810
02:23:36,000 --> 02:23:38,000
Second ball game.

1811
02:23:38,000 --> 02:23:44,000
This afternoon we'll have Will Schmidt going for St. Louis and either Colfax or Padres pitching for Brooklyn.

1812
02:23:44,000 --> 02:23:47,000
That'll be the getaway game for the Dodgers.

1813
02:23:47,000 --> 02:23:54,000
Another overhand fastball is blown away and it counters one ball and two strikes on Del Hennets.

1814
02:23:54,000 --> 02:24:00,000
The Dodgers board their conveyor and move out to Cincinnati to begin third Western swing,

1815
02:24:00,000 --> 02:24:06,000
which will carry them to Cincinnati, St. Louis, Milwaukee and Chicago.

1816
02:24:06,000 --> 02:24:10,000
They'll play 15 games in 14 days on this Western trip.

1817
02:24:10,000 --> 02:24:12,000
Fastball outside.

1818
02:24:12,000 --> 02:24:16,000
Look out, it's two balls, two strikes now on Del Hennets.

1819
02:24:16,000 --> 02:24:21,000
By the way, six of those games are going to be televised right back on Channel 9, 3 at Cincinnati.

1820
02:24:21,000 --> 02:24:28,000
That's on June 17, 19th and 20th. One at St. Louis on the 24th, one at Milwaukee on the 26th of June,

1821
02:24:28,000 --> 02:24:38,000
and then the first game of the doubleheader from Chicago on the 30th of June.

1822
02:24:38,000 --> 02:24:41,000
Of course you can hear all the ball games right where you're tuned right now.

1823
02:24:41,000 --> 02:24:44,000
Bits swung on by Hennets. Found it right back to the mound.

1824
02:24:44,000 --> 02:24:49,000
Besson strikes it, fires it first to Roseboro. There's the first out in the ninth inning.

1825
02:24:49,000 --> 02:24:53,000
One down. The batter coming up now, the Boyars, whose home run leading off in the seventh inning

1826
02:24:53,000 --> 02:25:02,000
has given the St. Louis Cardinals their advantage. Hit it off Glenn LeBarn.

1827
02:25:02,000 --> 02:25:05,000
Boyar has two hits and three at bats.

1828
02:25:05,000 --> 02:25:12,000
Got a single left in the first, walked in the third, was a runner in the fifth on a field of his choice,

1829
02:25:12,000 --> 02:25:16,000
but got a run down at the plate, and then home run in the seventh.

1830
02:25:16,000 --> 02:25:20,000
Boyar batting a 2-5-5.

1831
02:25:20,000 --> 02:25:23,000
Besson curves, even a pitcher swung on, and lays down in the right center field.

1832
02:25:23,000 --> 02:25:25,000
It's in for the base hit. Simole goes over, grabs it.

1833
02:25:25,000 --> 02:25:29,000
Boyar holds on and first contends with a single.

1834
02:25:29,000 --> 02:25:33,000
Gives him three base hits, four times up.

1835
02:25:33,000 --> 02:25:35,000
Single to right center.

1836
02:25:35,000 --> 02:25:38,000
That outbets him, who's hit number one.

1837
02:25:38,000 --> 02:25:42,000
On to the Cardinals, they're in fourth.

1838
02:25:42,000 --> 02:25:53,000
Seven runs, 12 hits. They have two more than the Dodgers have, and one more left.

1839
02:25:53,000 --> 02:25:56,000
The batter will be Wally Moon.

1840
02:25:56,000 --> 02:25:59,000
He's gone over three the last time out he walked.

1841
02:25:59,000 --> 02:26:04,000
Moved around the third, but there he died.

1842
02:26:04,000 --> 02:26:11,000
He stopped the second, grounded the second, and went out on a round ball that hit the pitcher

1843
02:26:11,000 --> 02:26:15,000
and came off to Gilliam, and he was thrown out.

1844
02:26:15,000 --> 02:26:18,000
That time batter.

1845
02:26:18,000 --> 02:26:21,000
Besson fires a pitch out. It's called for by Campanella.

1846
02:26:21,000 --> 02:26:29,000
Boyar was not going, so that's ball one now on Moon.

1847
02:26:29,000 --> 02:26:38,000
Mr. Short at Freddy Hudson would like to get himself an insurance run here in the top of the ninth.

1848
02:26:38,000 --> 02:26:41,000
There's the throw to first. It's not in time.

1849
02:26:41,000 --> 02:26:45,000
Grease comes a closing in at third.

1850
02:26:45,000 --> 02:26:53,000
Dodger infield, apparently expecting Moon might be trying to drop a punt, move Boyar down the second.

1851
02:26:53,000 --> 02:26:58,000
Besson carefully in the position out, checks the lineup.

1852
02:26:58,000 --> 02:27:00,000
Now delivers to Moon.

1853
02:27:00,000 --> 02:27:02,000
Rairs back, Moon takes the pitch low.

1854
02:27:02,000 --> 02:27:05,000
No bunt indication that time.

1855
02:27:05,000 --> 02:27:10,000
Two balls, no strikes is the count on Wally Moon.

1856
02:27:10,000 --> 02:27:16,000
Getting pretty close to station identification time, too.

1857
02:27:16,000 --> 02:27:19,000
We'll be sliding that in in a minute.

1858
02:27:19,000 --> 02:27:23,000
See what happens with Moon here.

1859
02:27:23,000 --> 02:27:26,000
Two-nothing delivery from Don Besson.

1860
02:27:26,000 --> 02:27:30,000
He had a break, the pitcher swung on and filed away.

1861
02:27:30,000 --> 02:27:34,000
Count is two balls and one strike.

1862
02:27:34,000 --> 02:27:40,000
He gets a new ball from Played Empire's Sir Cory and starts to rub it up for Don Besson.

1863
02:27:40,000 --> 02:27:49,000
Drysdale started this afternoon, went to four innings and touched it for three men in the fifth and had to come out of there.

1864
02:27:49,000 --> 02:27:59,000
Wellbuff took over for two innings and was touched for two runs, including, or two hits, including a home run, which manufactured four runs, all told.

1865
02:27:59,000 --> 02:28:04,000
Don gave up a run, two hits.

1866
02:28:04,000 --> 02:28:06,000
Besson billetters now on the 2-1 count.

1867
02:28:06,000 --> 02:28:07,000
The winner breaks again, the pitcher swung on.

1868
02:28:07,000 --> 02:28:09,000
There's a half-mile ball to deep left field.

1869
02:28:09,000 --> 02:28:13,000
Bellow back, still going back, under and holds it down.

1870
02:28:13,000 --> 02:28:17,000
Boyer standing on in second base, has to turn and come charging back to first.

1871
02:28:17,000 --> 02:28:19,000
And let's pause now for station identification.

1872
02:28:19,000 --> 02:28:23,000
This is the Brooklyn Dodger Radio Network.

1873
02:28:23,000 --> 02:28:29,000
Peter Tripp plays the nation's best-selling records every Sunday from 5 to 8 on his program, The Nation's Hits.

1874
02:28:29,000 --> 02:28:35,000
This is the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer radio station.

1875
02:28:35,000 --> 02:28:46,000
Dial 1460, WOKO Albany, WOKO, the capital district's most talked-about station with downtown studios in the Hotel Wellington.

1876
02:28:46,000 --> 02:28:55,000
Hit and play drives, single to center in the seventh inning. Besson well scores the first, keeps Boyer close.

1877
02:28:55,000 --> 02:29:01,000
In the last half of the ninth inning, it will be Reese, Snyder, and Bono, the batsmen for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

1878
02:29:01,000 --> 02:29:04,000
Seven to six to score, St. Louis.

1879
02:29:04,000 --> 02:29:11,000
Besson wheels the pitch in there, Landruf hitting left-hander, takes it low into the dirt, and he gets away from Campanella, but Boyer cannot break.

1880
02:29:11,000 --> 02:29:29,000
Ball kicking out in front of Campanella. One ball and no strikes.

1881
02:29:29,000 --> 02:29:42,000
Besson's ready, so is Landruf. There's another throw over the first, can't avoid him from getting too much of a lead.

1882
02:29:42,000 --> 02:29:47,000
Besson's ready. His one-hole pitch to the plate to Landruf comes whistle on in there, and he'll be after.

1883
02:29:47,000 --> 02:29:51,000
Loops one out and left field, it's in for a base hit, Simone comes over, grabs that ball quickly.

1884
02:29:51,000 --> 02:29:57,000
Boyer on his way to third, there goes the throw down, it's not in time. Boyer gets there.

1885
02:29:57,000 --> 02:30:03,000
Landruf, hitting behind Luana, moves him around to third base for two down.

1886
02:30:03,000 --> 02:30:08,000
Looping single hit into right field. That'll be hit number two of Besson.

1887
02:30:08,000 --> 02:30:12,000
That'll be the Cardinals' 13th base hit in the ball game.

1888
02:30:12,000 --> 02:30:17,000
Looking over the situation in the National League, Milwaukee took Commodoffee in the first game 3-2,

1889
02:30:17,000 --> 02:30:21,000
at the end of five innings of the second game, and Commodoffee no score.

1890
02:30:21,000 --> 02:30:27,000
Chicago took Pittsburgh 4-1 in the first game, at the end of two innings with Pittsburgh leading 2-1,

1891
02:30:27,000 --> 02:30:31,000
rain came down, that ball game is being held up.

1892
02:30:31,000 --> 02:30:41,000
In a single affair this afternoon at the Polo grounds, the Giants walked back from behind, took Cincinnati 4-3.

1893
02:30:41,000 --> 02:30:46,000
And at the end of five and a half innings, the Yankees have picked up a lead on Kansas City now 3-2.

1894
02:30:46,000 --> 02:30:50,000
They scored three times in the top six innings.

1895
02:30:50,000 --> 02:30:53,000
At the plate now, hitting right-handed is Eddie Casco.

1896
02:30:53,000 --> 02:31:09,000
Besson's fastball cracks in there low for ball one.

1897
02:31:09,000 --> 02:31:13,000
Two down, two on. Landruf is first, Boyer is third.

1898
02:31:13,000 --> 02:31:20,000
Last half of the ninth inning, St. Louis 7, Brooklyn 6. Besson delivers to Casco, low and outside.

1899
02:31:20,000 --> 02:31:25,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1900
02:31:25,000 --> 02:31:32,000
The last half of the ninth inning, Reese, Snyder, and Vano will be the Dodger backman backed up by Simoli,

1901
02:31:32,000 --> 02:31:41,000
if he should be needed.

1902
02:31:41,000 --> 02:31:46,000
The lead on this home stand, by the way, against the Western Clubs is six and six. They've won six and lost six.

1903
02:31:46,000 --> 02:31:54,000
Bits of swung on. Hit out to right field, backing up to the scoreboard is Simoli, and is able to make the catch.

1904
02:31:54,000 --> 02:31:56,000
He almost stepped back too far.

1905
02:31:56,000 --> 02:32:02,000
He reached down around the shoe tops to make that catch too.

1906
02:32:02,000 --> 02:32:06,000
That's it. End of ninth inning, four St. Louis, no runs, two hits.

1907
02:32:06,000 --> 02:32:10,000
They strand two men, runners are first and third. So no errors.

1908
02:32:10,000 --> 02:32:16,000
St. Louis 4 going into the last half of the ninth inning. St. Louis 7 and Brooklyn has six.

1909
02:32:16,000 --> 02:32:20,000
So let's get back to the action, and for lucky strike, here's Al.

1910
02:32:20,000 --> 02:32:25,000
All right, Jerry, Reese is over four. He's popped the short, a base runner on an error in the third,

1911
02:32:25,000 --> 02:32:29,000
flied to left and was called out on strikes.

1912
02:32:29,000 --> 02:32:40,000
Reese batting a 222. McDaniel was backed up by Larry Jackson in the St. Louis bullpen.

1913
02:32:40,000 --> 02:32:45,000
The total's going into the last half of the ninth inning. Four St. Louis, seven runs, 13 hits, two errors.

1914
02:32:45,000 --> 02:32:50,000
They've got ten on. Six runs, ten hits, no errors. Seven stranded by Brooklyn.

1915
02:32:50,000 --> 02:32:55,000
Reese, that the plate takes a curve low for ball one.

1916
02:32:55,000 --> 02:33:07,000
That's the last chance for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

1917
02:33:07,000 --> 02:33:20,000
One-oh delivering, Reese takes a curve, and that's low. That's ball two.

1918
02:33:20,000 --> 02:33:30,000
McDaniel, young 18-year-old right-hander, bidding for his first ball game either way, delivers a curve,

1919
02:33:30,000 --> 02:33:44,000
and Reese takes high under the 10-crochet. That's ball three.

1920
02:33:44,000 --> 02:33:51,000
Now, I'll just let you lucky up now and stay right with us.

1921
02:33:51,000 --> 02:33:57,000
Three-oh delivered to Reese. Over first strike. Reese got to throw his bat away and go off the course.

1922
02:33:57,000 --> 02:34:11,000
Mike DeCorey called him back. Reese, matter and bellow.

1923
02:34:11,000 --> 02:34:15,000
That's a long time for McDaniel during the St. Louis pitching.

1924
02:34:15,000 --> 02:34:19,000
That's a side from Hopeland. Comes once, throws three-one.

1925
02:34:19,000 --> 02:34:25,000
That's a pitch in for strike two.

1926
02:34:25,000 --> 02:34:38,000
Now, Reese will have to be guarding that plate rather carefully, and young McDaniel will have to be coming in around it somewhere.

1927
02:34:38,000 --> 02:34:47,000
Reese moving back up to the plate now, digs in. Now, the three-two count on McDaniel starts his motion.

1928
02:34:47,000 --> 02:34:53,000
Delivers Reese. That's not the curve, and it's in there for strike three-four.

1929
02:34:53,000 --> 02:35:02,000
That hurts Reese. He's gone on talking to DeCorey. Reese is called out on strike.

1930
02:35:02,000 --> 02:35:20,000
Strike out for young McDaniel. Reese is vehemently protesting as Manager Olsen comes out of the dugout and talks to Reese.

1931
02:35:20,000 --> 02:35:34,000
Strike out. McDaniel faces 12 men and gets five up by strike out. Duke sliders the batter, struck him out to seven.

1932
02:35:34,000 --> 02:35:54,000
Duke has two for three. Driven in one run today. McDaniel's fastball is into the dirt. It's ball one.

1933
02:35:54,000 --> 02:36:00,000
One out, nobody on. Last of the ninth inning, St. Louis seven, Brooklyn six.

1934
02:36:00,000 --> 02:36:06,000
McDaniel pitching from the first base side of Pitcher's River, delivers Snyder-Dix over the fifth first strike.

1935
02:36:06,000 --> 02:36:27,000
That's Snyder's turn. Do a little beeping. One ball, one strike.

1936
02:36:27,000 --> 02:36:30,000
McDaniel delivers and Snyder after hits a bombing ball to second.

1937
02:36:30,000 --> 02:36:35,000
Wapping games got it on the big hop. Throws the first to Mews and Snyder goes down.

1938
02:36:35,000 --> 02:36:48,000
Oh, it's on a film of valor now.

1939
02:36:48,000 --> 02:36:59,000
Brady Hutchinson comes off of St. Louis bench and going out to talk to young Vaughn McDaniel. This is the brother of Lindy McDaniel, the younger brother.

1940
02:36:59,000 --> 02:37:08,000
Kid has his chance to win his first ball game.

1941
02:37:08,000 --> 02:37:16,000
Vaughn O'Rofson comes bouncing off the Dodger bench and meets Mike Secori halfway between the Dodger bench and home plate.

1942
02:37:16,000 --> 02:37:25,000
Before he turned around and put something back to the dugout, it's either Vaughn O'Rofson out of the ball game or somebody else.

1943
02:37:25,000 --> 02:37:31,000
But Vaughn is really chilling and enjoying with him right now.

1944
02:37:31,000 --> 02:37:41,000
Ball popped up on called strikes on Reese and Snyder.

1945
02:37:41,000 --> 02:37:47,000
Unfortunately, the recording of this game is missing the final out. Rest assured there were no last minute heroics after the tape cuts off.

1946
02:37:47,000 --> 02:38:16,000
The final out was a routine ground ball to first base unassisted.
