00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,800
On September 27th, 1973, the Minnesota Twins faced the California Angels at Anaheim Stadium

3
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,960
for a Thursday night game near the end of the season. Both teams were stuck in the middle

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,540
of the AL West with average records, but the excitement of the game centered around fireballer

5
00:00:21,540 --> 00:00:26,700
Nolan Ryan. Ryan entered his last start of the season with 367 strikeouts, which was

6
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:33,840
15 behind Sandy Koufax's single season record of 382 Ks. This is a local California broadcast

7
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,800
featuring announcers Dick Emberg, Dave Nyhouse, and Don Drysdale.

8
00:00:37,800 --> 00:01:00,800
Brian Carew and Oliva against Nolan Ryan and for the play, here's Dick Emberg.

9
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:07,800
As Bry hit the deck, he kicked dirt all over the plate. Jeff Talbork handling the catching

10
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,800
chores. Ryan wastes no time. The 1-0 pitch. Fastball grounded through the right side.

11
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:16,400
On the very second pitch of the game, Ryan loses any chances of a no-hitter as Bry singles

12
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:21,880
sharply into right field. Bry batting 259. These twins are red hot. They've been playing

13
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,040
great baseball. They're fresh from a three-game sweep of the Oakland A's up north. They've

14
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:31,560
now won 80 and lost 78 and need only one victory in the final four games of this series to

15
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,320
clinch third place in the American League West. Here's the American League batting leader

16
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:41,680
and the new champion again this year, Rod Carew, hitting 349. He has 200 base hits.

17
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:49,080
He takes the ball outside. Bry, the leadoff man, is on. Ryan straightens, takes a look

18
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:54,440
at him, and here's the pitch. A curveball drops over the outside corner, one and one.

19
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,880
Tony Oliva, the designated hitter on deck. His twins' team can hit. They've been leading

20
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:05,440
the American League and hitting for a while. The pitch, swing and a miss. Good fastball

21
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:10,800
sailing up and out of the strike zone, and Carew could not resist. One ball, two strikes,

22
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,720
and Rod scored 96. Rounds has 200 hits. Leads the club in stolen bases with 40. It's been

23
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:25,440
a big year for Rod Carew from the Panama Canal Zone. The pitch just inside. Fastball, Carew

24
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,400
backing away. Rod's back foot out of the batter's box. He's that deep trying to get a little

25
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:37,280
extra advantage on Ryan. He is not in the batter's box. Two and two, and Ryan goes to

26
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,160
first base and Bry dances back to the bag. Defensively, Gallagher at third, Schalk to

27
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,360
shortstop Parker at second, McCraw at first with Barry Rivers and Pinson in the outfield

28
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:54,640
from left to right. The two-two pitch. Carew ball just misses again. Carew has looked at

29
00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:59,320
two pretty good pitches. A fastball that was just off the inside edge and a Carew ball

30
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:05,600
that just bended its way around the outside corner, and it's now three and two. Bry goes.

31
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:11,400
The pitch is high, and the twins have the first two men on. Carew walks. Bry goes to

32
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:18,400
second, and with no one out, here's designated hitter Tony Oliva. Tovar goes out to talk

33
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,840
with Ryan. We chatted with Nolan before the game tonight, and he said the key to his performance

34
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:29,400
tonight on a very warm late September night in Southern California is his control. He

35
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,080
feels he could have a big strikeout night if he can hit the corners. He just missed

36
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:40,200
the Carew and finished with a walk. So the twins have something going in the early inning.

37
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:47,880
Harmon Killebrew on deck, and Tony Oliva. He said for the first time all season, he

38
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:54,160
went without a wrap on that bad right knee of his in the Oakland series, and he said

39
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:59,080
it feels much better. Infield looking for two. The pitch. Swing a line drive right over

40
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:04,800
the head of Ryan into center field for a base hit. Around third comes Bry. He will score,

41
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:11,920
and the twins lead 1-0 on a solid single to center by Tony Oliva. They've had their hitting

42
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:19,240
close on, and they come out of swinging against Ryan tonight. That ball came very close to

43
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:25,360
hitting Ryan in the head. He was able to just duck underneath it as it whistled by him out

44
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:32,000
through Mickey Rivers in center field. Carew stopped at second. Killebrew is the batter.

45
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,720
The pitch. The double steal is on. A line drive down the left field line. Fair ball.

46
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:42,440
Carew scores easily. Oliva will be able to come home on a double by Killebrew. It is

47
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:56,120
3-0 Minnesota. And all the balls have been hit hard. So Killebrew on the double steal.

48
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:01,000
Lines went into the left field corner away from Ken Berry. So Carew running on the play.

49
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,760
He walked home, and Oliva, even on the bad leg, was able to score all the way from first

50
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:13,200
base as Carew has his 31st, or Killebrew has his 31st and 32nd RBI's of the season. It's

51
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:18,680
3-0 Minnesota as Tom Morgan goes to the mound to talk with Nolan Ryan, who has not been

52
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:25,160
able to log it out. And Dick, even though Nolan Ryan last Sunday against the twins beat them

53
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:30,360
for his 20th victory in the first inning, he was hit very hard by two of the three men

54
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,240
that started out the thing here this evening. Steve Bryce and Richie Scheinblum to the wall

55
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:40,320
in Minnesota after Rod Garou struck out. Then Tony Oliva lined out to Scheinblum. So he's

56
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,840
been hit hard in both first innings of these last two outings. Jim Holt goes after a bad

57
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:54,360
ball. Strike one. Ryan not able to throw that fastball by Oliva and Killebrew, that's for

58
00:05:54,360 --> 00:06:00,560
the second. Killebrew at second, no one out. The pitch, fastball line foul, what a shot,

59
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,240
down beyond the Ansel dugout on the third-base side. A low, skidding line drive into the

60
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:15,440
crowd. Ryan ahead of Jim Holt, two strikes. Holt is batting 296. He's had a solid year.

61
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:22,120
Minnesota team is batting 272, the American League's top-hitting ball club. Playing for

62
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:27,320
Frank Fulasi, he has been rehired. Two-strike pitch, foul back on the screen. Ryan tried

63
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:34,360
to slip the fastball by Holt and did not. George Midderwald on deck. Midderwald enjoying

64
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:41,240
his finest season in the big leagues, 262 average and 16 home runs. Minnesota leads

65
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:48,880
3-0 in the top of the first inning, no one out, and Killebrew is at second base. Ryan

66
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:54,600
ahead on the count, two strikes. Here's the pitch. Curve ball is just a little high. Red

67
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:59,560
clarity has put the squeeze on Ryan tonight. That's the third borderline pitch and they've

68
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:07,360
all gone for balls. One and two to count. Ryan checks Killebrew, the pitch. Fastball

69
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:15,200
pound and foul off the fist, rolls into the Ansel dugout. First of a four-game series

70
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:23,400
between the Angels and Twins that will conclude the 1973 season. Twins need just one win of

71
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:34,200
the four to lock up third place. The one-two pitch by Ryan, high, two and two. And Ryan,

72
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:40,120
certainly very human and cognizant of all of the publicity, not only regarding his great

73
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:49,200
pitching but primarily the strikeouts. Curve ball, strike three, call. That one fooled

74
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:56,720
home. While Ryan would like very much to win his seventh straight game, he's already set

75
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,800
a New Angel record with his six in a row. The fans that are here tonight, and we would

76
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:07,760
guess around 10,000, are here primarily to cheer the strikeouts. He now has 368. The

77
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:14,640
magic number for a tie is 14. George Mitterwald batting 262. Killebrew at second base. Ryan

78
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:19,280
checks and the pitch. Swung on and fouled out of play. A fastball that Mitterwald hits

79
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,640
into the upper deck down the right field line. And of course, all of the foul balls will

80
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:29,840
be treasured souvenirs tonight, as they will on Sunday, because fans will be able to relate

81
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:36,440
to those who would be interested that it was a ball that was first delivered by Nolan Ryan

82
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:46,280
and finally captured by me, Joe Finn. Mitterwald, 16 home runs, 64 runs batted in. Big year

83
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,800
for the catcher from Hayward, California. The pitch, fastball, and that had plenty on it,

84
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:57,120
but it was too high, one and one. Tomorrow night, it'll be Dan Fife for Minnesota, either

85
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:04,600
Rudy May or Frank Tanana for the Angels. 1-1 pitch. He did not go around, says Flaherty.

86
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:12,520
First base umpire says, yes, he did. It's one and two. Flaherty, after Jeff Tauborg

87
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,720
asked for help, Bill Degan threw up the right hand and said he went around. And Degan is

88
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:23,280
answering some verbal volleys from the dugout of the twins. And Frank Willissey has gone

89
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:28,120
all the way from the near end of the dugout to the far end to get a closer shot at Degan.

90
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:36,600
The 1-2 pitch. High. Ryan overthrowing that fastball. They've all been up. Two and two.

91
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:45,320
And he's had some velocity on them. He's trying to get everything he has on each pitch. There's

92
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:51,040
only one more tomorrow for Nolan Ryan and he'd like to get as much of the job done tonight.

93
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:58,520
And is his goal. The 2-2 pitch to Midderwald. Too high. So Ryan unable to get the fastball

94
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:03,440
over. He's been upstairs with it and the count now full. In the inning, a leadoff single

95
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:09,280
by Bry Carrua. Oliva singled in one run and Killebrew doubled in two more. Hold has struck

96
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:14,120
out and now it's a 3-2 pitch coming up to George Midderwald. Here it comes. Curveball

97
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:25,480
gets him swinging. Apparently Ryan does have a great curve here in the first inning because

98
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:30,120
the men who tried to hit it have looked rather foolish chasing it. The bottom fell out of

99
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:37,800
that one. Three runs, two strikeouts for Ryan in the first inning. Eric Satterholm hitting

100
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:44,480
3-13. Right handed batter. Like the starting pitcher tonight, Dave Goltz. Minnesota boy.

101
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:55,280
Fastball outside and the fans are pulling for each pitch trying to help out Red Flaherty.

102
00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:00,720
Ryan working quickly. The pitch curveball is a beauty. Satterholm was falling out of

103
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:07,120
the batter's box and that one snapped over. Excuse me. Satterholm although with a name

104
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:12,000
like Eric Satterholm he should be from that good Scandinavian Minnesota territory is not.

105
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:18,360
Goltz however is. He's from Pelican Rapids by a galley. Dick Nelson knows where that

106
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:25,080
is. Count is two and one now to Satterholm. Stocky right handed batter. One home run since

107
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:31,120
being recalled. Killebrew still at second. Three nothing Minnesota. And Ryan steps off

108
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:41,000
the rubber as Harmon had a big lead. Ryan has his sign from Talborg. His two one pitch.

109
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,600
Oh way up over the head of Satterholm. A curveball that slipped out of his grasp. It's three

110
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:55,240
and one on deck. Left fielder Mike Adams. Twins jump in front three nothing. Ryan ready

111
00:11:55,240 --> 00:12:04,080
to three one pitch. Fastball is in there. When Ryan gets that fastball in that spot

112
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:10,280
on the outside corner it almost has a crossfire effect. It seems to be running away from the

113
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:17,280
right handed hitter. Three and two. Ryan trying to strike out the side. The pitch. Oh he fouls

114
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:23,520
that one off the plate umpire Flaherty's mask. That one had to sting. And the veteran umpire

115
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:28,120
takes that iron off and make sure it's all in one piece before it puts it back in front

116
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:35,600
of that guardian position. A full count on Eric Satterholm with two outs in the top of

117
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,800
the first. Killebrew at second base. Ryan sets and the pitch. Curveball bends outside

118
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:46,280
ball four. So Ryan has struck out two and walked two in the first inning and has thrown

119
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:54,920
a lot of pitches already. Mike Adams the number eight hitter in the lineup steps up. He's

120
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,200
averaging two thirty two on the season. Little guy right handed batter but he's got quick

121
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:04,400
hands and looks like he's going to be a good hitter. On a former Major League or Bobby

122
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:14,880
Adams the pitch. Check swing foul. Off the press box facing and shoots down there. One

123
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:21,000
strike on Adams. The angels and twins have played a dead even through the first 14 games

124
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,600
of this season. Each team with seven wins here at the big a Minnesota has the edge three

125
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:33,920
and two. Ryan with an exchange of baseball. Paul Borg down with a sign. Killebrew from

126
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:43,080
second Satterholm from first the pitch curveball outside broke too much one and one. It's basically

127
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,640
a right handed hitting lineup for Frank Willis these twins tonight against the right hander

128
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:56,360
Ryan left handers are Karew and Oliva and Holt. The pitch curve is in there. One ball

129
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,880
two strikes. Henry Aaron ran into some tough luck tonight the game with the Dodgers rained

130
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:07,960
out and of course that one will not be made up so he loses four more at bats. Ryan knows

131
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:17,200
how that weather action can hurt you. The pitch swing and a miss. Ryan gives up three

132
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:24,920
runs on three hits. He leaves two and strikes out three and after a half inning Minnesota

133
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:32,200
three the angels against Dave Golds are coming to bat. First pitch to Mickey Rivers has taken

134
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:37,760
low for a ball. Mickey with a 10 game hitting streak needs a hit tonight to tie the longest

135
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:42,360
streak by an angel all year chops this one toward first going to be a tough play. Killebrew

136
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:51,160
up with it the threat of first base is not in the foot. I guess that's one way to slow

137
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:56,960
him down and he goes hobbling down the right field line. Rivers is now hit safely and 11

138
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:02,200
straight games tying Sandy Alomar's longest hitting streak of the season and Mickey has

139
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:08,040
only been here this month when he chops one like that it's almost impossible to throw

140
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:14,640
him out. Commiserates now with John Roseboro. He bends forward just waiting for the sting

141
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:20,400
of that throw to wear off his ankle. Killebrew trying to fire to the pitcher Golds covering

142
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:27,040
but even had to throw gotten the Golds his glove. Rivers had beaten a play. When's lead

143
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:34,640
three nothing bottom of the first inning. Ray Federico out there to see two rivers.

144
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:42,560
Ready. Daughter Roseanne and celebrated her 21st birthday yesterday and we aired and not

145
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,960
sending along our best to her. And Freddie's certainly one of the super people in baseball.

146
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,600
I wish everyone in this ballpark could get a chance to shake the hand of this gentleman

147
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:57,720
from Seattle Washington. He's loved by all and the way he hustles off the field is indicative

148
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:05,160
of the kind of spirit he brings to this club. That guy needs a hot minute trainer in the

149
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:12,080
league. The river is OK. Dave chalk elevated to the number two spot in the order as manager

150
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,760
Bobby Winkle said to do some last minute juggling with Bob Oliver suffering from a mild case

151
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,320
of the flu. Chuck hitting to thirty six right side is open. Rivers leads away. Killebrew

152
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:31,080
holding him on the pitch. Check swing foul. Frank Robinson on deck. Looking ahead to

153
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:38,280
the second inning. Ryan needs one more strikeout to become the first man in major league history

154
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:44,800
to strike out seven hundred in two years. Go back. His record has been tied at six ninety

155
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:51,480
nine. Ryan needs one to break the consecutive year strikeout mark. Golds delivers low and

156
00:16:51,480 --> 00:17:00,880
outside is wearing a bunch of chalk. Just joined us. Ryan gave up three runs before he got

157
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,800
an out in the top of the first then he struck out the side now has three hundred seventy

158
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:13,800
for the year. Twelve behind Kofax. Golds straightens and the pitch. Check swing foul back to the

159
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:25,120
screen. Golds is one and one lifetime against the angels mentioned he's from Minnesota the

160
00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:32,440
eighth native of the state of Minnesota to play for the twins. Outfield playing chalk

161
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:39,680
shade to pull. Carew and Terrell up the middle looking for the double play ball. Here's the

162
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:45,280
pitch outside might have been a check swing foul as the ball popped out of middle wall

163
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,600
glove and his actions as he went after it indicative that he's not concerned about rivers

164
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,440
breaking for seconds. So chalk must have gotten a piece of it and the count would remain one

165
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:59,640
and two. Golds a very deliberate workman. It's a warm warm evening in Southern California.

166
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:09,320
The temperature must be in the 80s at this hour. Chalk waves the wood back and forth

167
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:17,920
rivers and easy lead from first the pitch high and inside ball to a fastball. Now Don

168
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,520
Drysdale not with us tonight. He and his lovely wife Ginger celebrating their 15th wedding

169
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:29,520
anniversary tonight and from all of us the very best. The Drysdale understand they gave

170
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:34,160
each other scuba diving equipment and lessons for their anniversary. Line drive right field

171
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:52,720
and the angels have runners at the corner. Here is Frank Robinson and the angels try

172
00:18:52,720 --> 00:19:04,200
to get back for Nolan Ryan. He is Jeff Burrows for the runner up spot to Reggie Jackson of

173
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:12,440
the Oakland A's Jackson with 32 and Frank at age 38 is the fourth best RBI man in the

174
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:20,160
year. Jackson 117 may vary with 100. George Scott has 98 and Robbie now with 95 and a

175
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,200
chance to pick up at least one in this spot. The infield plays back. They'll give up a

176
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:29,120
run for a double play chance. Golds delivers swing a line drive on the left field line

177
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:37,160
foul off the facing of the box seat railing and comes out in the left. Robbie grabs a

178
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:42,200
good handful of dirt out of that batter's box and rubs the palms together fixes that

179
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:48,800
helmet to top his head. Tom McCraw on deck outfield deep toward left. The ball should

180
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,960
carry well tonight. Anything hit in the air is going to get more distance than normal

181
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:59,520
here at Anaheim at night. Rivers at third chalk at first one strike on Robinson the

182
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:06,560
pitch by gold swing line drive. Rivers scores chalk holds at second it's three to one.

183
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:14,320
Minnesota Robinson's 96 RBI of the season and just as it was for Nolan Ryan. Dave Gault's

184
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:28,200
having trouble getting people out. He's given up three straight singles Robinson needs one

185
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:35,720
more extra base hit to tie Jimmy Fox and Ted Williams number eight all time. That RBI ties

186
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:41,320
him with Bob Oliver and Leon Wagner for the most runs batted in in a month. That was his

187
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:48,320
26th in this month of September. So he has finished with a flourish. Now the time runs

188
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,440
on no and out runners at first and second time across the batter hitting two sixty four

189
00:20:52,440 --> 00:21:00,720
he takes a breaking ball low ball one. McCraw he too has had a good September three twenty

190
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:07,680
four in the last 18 games has been his average. Minnesota three the angels one bottom of the

191
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:13,520
first inning looks like we might be here for a while tonight. Gault straightens. Here's

192
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:24,320
the pitch outside to an old well that heat wave is thrown a curve ball at our big a scoreboard

193
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:31,720
and it's like someone threw a knife right in the center that thing. It's thrown up some

194
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:42,480
funny figures tonight to another count the pitch low three balls Robinson the tying run

195
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:48,560
at first base Dave chalk at second and McCraw the hitter with three balls no strikes and

196
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,760
Frank Wellesley says get somebody loose in that bullpen. A right hander gets up to start

197
00:21:52,760 --> 00:22:00,080
throwing Bill hands the veteran right hander acquired from the Cubs during the offseason

198
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:11,440
Gault says three oh pitch he walked in. The third Robinson to second the bases are loaded

199
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:17,160
and Frank Wellesley walking to the mound. Well he rehired by Calvin Griffith as the

200
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:25,720
Minnesota Twins manager again in 1974 his team has had some excellent streaks this season

201
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:32,520
and a couple of unbelievably bad streaks and we ask him about next year and how he will

202
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:40,160
attempt to keep his team away from the losing strings and he said he felt that the one big

203
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:46,440
need is the bullpen that his play was sloppy. The team's play was during those streets but

204
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:51,320
primarily the fall was on the bullpen. He used as a case in point Joe Decker had something

205
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,800
like four or five games in a row where he left with the lead and wound up Minnesota

206
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:03,520
losing the game. So the twins might be in the market for some relief help. Well as he

207
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:10,080
leaves hands continues to throw and they depend on his the matter hitting to 62 HALO over

208
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:16,560
every base McCraw Robinson and chalk no enough three to one twins in the first the pitch

209
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:22,360
check swing did he go around apparently not her ball was in that five straight balls thrown

210
00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:29,760
by gold third base umpire spring said as the appeal is made shakes his head. No he checked

211
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:39,680
back in field set for two third baseman Satterholm is back high and well off the line. Killer

212
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:45,840
Brew playing behind the runner McCraw as Goltz winds the pitch lined out of play into the

213
00:23:45,840 --> 00:24:00,680
upper deck one and one Ken Berry would be next. Mickey Rivers started it legging out

214
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:07,400
an infield chopper and hits by chalk Robinson now the walk to McCraw one one pitch fly ball

215
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,800
into right center field not too deep over to get it as he Brian makes the catch tagging

216
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:25,560
is chalk everyone is tagging chalk scores and going to third is Robinson. Frank Robinson

217
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,960
showing the hustle of a rookie advances from second to third with only one out he's in

218
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:36,080
position to score the tying run on and out as Ken Berry steps in. We pause for station

219
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:41,360
identification. Now we salute all of those youngsters in the angel organization that

220
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:46,680
are in the winter instructional league down in the Phoenix area listening on KXTC on this

221
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:54,160
the angels radio network and this is KXTC Glendale Phoenix 92.3 FM stereo don't miss

222
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,120
the action of the Phoenix Sun score for needy youngsters in the season opener against the

223
00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:02,920
Seattle Supersonics Wednesday October 10th all proceeds from the game go to the Gazette

224
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:09,920
Youth Fund. Minnesota with three in the first the angels with two only one out McRaw at

225
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,840
first and Robinson at third again the infield plays back the pitch to Barry ground ball

226
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,840
right side that'll get the run in career up with it. Flips the first for the out at the

227
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:31,240
tie game at three. The big play that you won't see in the box score tomorrow Robinson alertly

228
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:36,440
tagging at second and advancing to third where he could score on that infield shot by Ken

229
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:42,400
Berry. So the angels something they've not done much of this year get two runs on out

230
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:48,840
in this first inning and were even at three. Al Gallagher the batter Barry's chopper to

231
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:53,640
the right side did two things that got Robinson in and advanced McRaw the tie breaking run

232
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:58,400
in the scoring position. Dirty Allen the lineup the pitch breaking ball for a strike Gallagher

233
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:04,400
hitting 277. How did that think he'd play anymore this year or at least start any more

234
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,720
games the way Bob Oliver was going. But with the flu dirty Allen there and a chance to

235
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:17,480
give the angels the lead. Galtz looks back at McRaw the pit low with a fastball one and

236
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:26,640
one. You know the twins happy not only about the sweep of the Oakland A's at the Coliseum

237
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,760
they grabbed that up last night but Bert Blylevin getting his 20th win against 16 losses his

238
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:39,160
record identical to that of Nolan Ryan. The 1 1 delivery outside. Nice stop by Mitterwald

239
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:45,800
2 and 1. Blylevin just missed a no hitter last night and infield hit. Carew made a diving

240
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,480
stop on the outfield grass but could not throw the Oakland batter out and that was the only

241
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:57,360
hit off by 11 his second one hitter of the season. Two balls and a strike on Gallagher

242
00:26:57,360 --> 00:27:01,720
the action pitch coming up McRaw at second base with two outs bottom of the first out

243
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:06,480
three three tie Ryan struck out the side in the first curve ball chopped the third right

244
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:11,920
there as solder home he fires across for the out and the inning is over. Three runs for

245
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:17,520
the angels on three hits they lead one and after one the angels in Minnesota tied at

246
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:25,240
three from beautiful Anaheim Stadium on a midsummer baseball night the angels and the

247
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:31,320
twins wrapping up seasons play in a wild first inning. Each team getting three runs and three

248
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:36,960
hits and Nolan Ryan matching that magic number of three as he fan three twins and he stands

249
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:43,920
at 699 tied with Sandy Copax most strikeouts in consecutive years. No man has ever struck

250
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:51,840
out 700 and Ryan is just a few pitches away. Jerry Terrell starts it off the number nine

251
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,760
hitter right handed batter the curve ball is just a little inside ball one. Terrell

252
00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:00,360
crowding the plate backed out of there and didn't miss by much. He's hitting 271 has

253
00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:06,080
done a fine job subbing for Danny Thompson who has had a multitude of injuries this year.

254
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:11,720
One oh pitch fastball wave that a mess and that one was fine. You know Thompson had discovered

255
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:17,200
during the winter that he had a mild case of leukemia that is being treated. That is

256
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,080
not the reason he has not been flying. He is healthy. It's been a lot of other problems

257
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:25,840
muscle pulls and such ground ball to the right side Parker behind second fire the first for

258
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:34,000
the out good play by Billy Parker one gone. Here's the leadoff man Steve Brie. He started

259
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,120
that three run first inning with a base at the right. The quietly angels were in Minnesota

260
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:42,880
last weekend. Danny Thompson suffered a broken toe on his right foot during batting practice.

261
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,960
So he will be out for the rest of the year. And that goes with a groin pull he had in

262
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,840
May and he had a sprained ankle in July. So it's just been a tough year for him all

263
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:57,080
the way around. But Terrell has done an excellent job filling in. Here's Brian a two fifty nine

264
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:02,000
hitter the pitch by Ryan a curve ball is high ball on angels. Baseball is brought to you

265
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:08,760
by Chevrolet. Mighty happy to announce their newest wagon. The Vega has a one oh pitch

266
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:19,200
curve ball outside to know Brian right handed hitter wears twin ones on his back in red

267
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,600
to all pitch all the way to the screen off the glove of catcher Jeff Toe board three

268
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:30,720
balls and no strike. The Phillies got a run in the top of the 13th inning to lead Pittsburgh

269
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:38,400
three to two. The Mets are not scheduled tonight. So if Pittsburgh loses the Mets game that

270
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:43,720
half game would lead by one a victory by Pittsburgh would tie them with a Mets three oh pitch

271
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:54,480
channel down the middle three and one. Mets are 80 and 78 Pittsburgh 79 and 78 starting

272
00:29:54,480 --> 00:30:00,560
this evening in the Phillies. Mighty troublesome three one pitch right to call that one had

273
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:10,320
a little heat on it. The bright thought it sounded a little outside. Full count of Brian

274
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:15,920
one out top of the second a three three time. Ryan rocks. Here's a pitch ground ball by

275
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:21,280
the mound by Parker in the right center field. So Brian hits the ball to the opposite field

276
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:26,760
again for a base hit the angels with Ryan on the mound playing everyone to hit late.

277
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,200
And so Parker was guarding the hole on the right side and although the ball was really

278
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:36,040
not hit that hard he could not range that far to his right to make the play. The bright

279
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:43,720
two for two and here's Rod Carew walked in the first inning. Boy he had a season again

280
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:50,000
200 hits the pitch curve ball low ball on and he just hit it anywhere. You have to play

281
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,120
him straight away because he'll line one down the left field line just as quickly as you'll

282
00:30:54,120 --> 00:31:01,680
pull on into the other corner. The pitch curve ball on the inside is one and one.

283
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:23,600
The rules got that batting title all locked up no one close one one pitch outside. Here

284
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:40,960
it comes curve ball up too high three and one on the title last year with a 318 average

285
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:49,800
three one pitch curve ball fouled at the play. Rod's lifetime Major League average is three

286
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:56,000
oh nine and it's higher than that after his big year this season and he would have won

287
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,120
still another batting title had it not been for that knee injury in 1970 he was hitting

288
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,600
three sixty six at the time he was knocked out for the season three to pitch runner goes

289
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:09,640
on a miss throw to second base not nearly in time. In fact Parker was able to one hand

290
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:15,200
the ball on the shortstop side of the bag to keep it from going into center field. So

291
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:20,600
that's a three to four. That is the seven hundred strikeout for Nolan Ryan. No one in

292
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:25,600
baseball history can make that claim in back to back season seven hundred for Ryan. He

293
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:32,560
now has three hundred seventy one this year. Eleven the magic number to tie Kofax and

294
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:38,680
they want that baseball as Red Flaherty calls for it and throws it into the angel dugout.

295
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,520
That's another to add to the collection and the fans about the message board to spell

296
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:48,240
it out for him. Some realize that that is seven hundred for Ryan. As you mentioned the

297
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:53,880
big one eleven off to tie and actually a bigger one the 12th to go ahead. But he is also now

298
00:32:53,880 --> 00:33:00,120
only seven away from his twelve hundred career strikeout. He is mind boggling really. He

299
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:07,960
is something foul back by Tony Oh nearly beheaded Mr. Nolan Ryan with a line shot single to center

300
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:12,840
field in the first inning to drive in a run one strike on Oliva. Brian has stolen second

301
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:20,840
base a three three tie two outs in the top of the second. You become a bit jaundiced

302
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:26,160
by Ryan straight strikeout abilities and forget truly what he is doing. The pitch strike two

303
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:43,200
and a half. Two strikes on Tony Oliva the tie breaking run. Brian is out there at second

304
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:50,960
base. Ryan delivers. Oh a little high and he had a leave a pool. The labor would have

305
00:33:50,960 --> 00:34:05,520
been late pulling the trigger on that one one into the camp. Right at second base he

306
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:11,280
leads easily away the outfield playing Oliva not to pull one into the cat. Ryan delivers

307
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:22,000
a curve ball. Ryan has struck out five men in the first two innings and his magic number

308
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:33,760
is now reduced to 10 to tie Sandy Kopecks and after one and a half a three three tie.

309
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:40,000
Dave Gault a three three tie. Tunes up with George Midderwood. He'll face Billy Parker

310
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,960
Jeff Tolborg and then the lead off hitter Mickey Rivers. Each team with three runs in

311
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,120
that first inning. Ryan struck out three in the first inning and came back to get two

312
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:53,520
tough outs. Carew and Oliva on strikes in the second. So you now have the total of three

313
00:34:53,520 --> 00:35:02,320
seventy two this year and seven hundred and one in the last two seasons. Oh my Billy Parker

314
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:15,200
hitting two fifteen last game Parker hitting three thirty three. Gault big right hander

315
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:31,960
he takes his time. Ready to work to Parker bat right down on the end. I with a fastball.

316
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:40,360
Stand up and the one oh pitch curve ball in there one and one. You look at the other club

317
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:45,040
records for most strikeouts in a season then you get some perspective on what Ryan's doing

318
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:51,360
here. One one pitch is waved at and miss. Dave McNally has the Baltimore all time record

319
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:58,680
for most strikeouts in a season. Two hundred two Ryan now tonight has three seventy two.

320
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:05,920
You go back to 1912 to get the Red Sox pitcher Smokey Joe Wood struck out two fifty eight

321
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:11,720
some hundred and fifteen less than Ryan for the all time Red Sox record. Ed Walsh for

322
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:19,000
the White Sox 1908 to sixty nine fastball knocks Parker down it's two and two. Of course

323
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:24,040
Bob Feller for the Indians at three forty eight in nineteen forty six. Mickey Lowlitz

324
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:32,320
the all time Tigers strikeout pitcher three hundred and eight two years ago. The pitch

325
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:38,200
line drive by the glove of golf but picked off by Caruso throws him out. Oh that ball

326
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:42,600
was hit hard hit the side of the mound however and that kicked it toward the second baseman

327
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:50,440
Caruso who was able to make the play. Jeff Torborg steps up he's batting to twenty the

328
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:55,400
Kansas City Royals strikeout record held by Bob Johnson he got two hundred and six three

329
00:36:55,400 --> 00:37:01,640
years ago. Milwaukee's all timer hundred and sixty nine by Marty Patton. Minnesota Dean

330
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:06,560
Chance when he struck out two thirty four in nineteen sixty eight for the Yankees. That

331
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:12,440
would be an interesting thing. The New York Yankees all time strikeout pitcher 1904 Jack

332
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:18,440
Chesbro two hundred and forty low ball one Oakland A's or any A's pitcher including

333
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:24,600
the Philadelphia A's would be George Rubio ideal 1904 and for the senators or now the

334
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:30,440
Texas Rangers Walter Johnson's best was in 1910 when he struck out three hundred thirteen.

335
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:36,040
So you start tickling your memory with all of the great men who stood out in the middle

336
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:40,840
of that diamond and try to throw a ball by a hitter whether it be with a fastball or

337
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:47,880
with finesse. I again two and one to Torborg and suddenly Nolan Ryan is the best in the

338
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:53,240
American League and now he is just ten away from the all time major league record and

339
00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:57,040
will repeat something we've said before. I think there would be even more drama if we

340
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:01,920
were in any other city in the United States. The memory of Sandy Koufax is much too fresh

341
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,920
for all of us here. The great left hander ground ball one hopper to the third baseman

342
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:13,840
Sotterholm who throws across for the out to away. By that I mean in Detroit or in Boston

343
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:19,880
or in New York one of the Midwestern cities that have been with baseball so long. Just

344
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,840
the fact that they might have a man to set the new American League record would be exciting

345
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:30,520
enough. Ryan has been pitching in the shadow of a man we all remember very well fresh in

346
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:36,600
our memory. The great left hander the Dodgers Koufax River steps in he beat out an infield

347
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:42,760
hit to start the three run rally the angels tying it in the first inning at three eleven

348
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:50,240
straight games now for Rivers who takes it outside ball one. Rivers with forty one hits

349
00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:58,320
this month. That's out of a slightly open stance and a crouch. Golds delivers curve

350
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:05,560
in there. Minnesota got three without and out being recorded by Ryan in the first inning

351
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:11,720
single by Brian Carreau walked a single in a run and Killebrew doubled in the other two

352
00:39:11,720 --> 00:39:16,680
take two called one and two a good fastball angels came back on straight singles by Rivers

353
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:22,160
chalk and Robinson Robinson knocking in the first run then McCraw walked to load the bases

354
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,760
and drove in the second run with a sacrifice flying very knocked in the tying run with

355
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:30,360
the ground out the pitch ground ball right side Rod Carreau at the edge of the grass

356
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:36,200
quick flip in time for the so Golds gets the angels on three ground balls in the second

357
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:42,560
inning one two three and after two the angels and the twins tied at three. Top of the third

358
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,320
inning the angels and the Minnesota twins are tied at three here at Anaheim Stadium

359
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,720
and this is Dick Henberg with Dave Niehaus and Dick Nelson from the big day hoping you'll

360
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:53,920
be with us final three games of the season tomorrow night at eight Saturday night at

361
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:59,440
seven and two o'clock on Sunday afternoon and Ryan might well be pitching on Sunday against

362
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:04,760
Minnesota in the finale against Bert Blylevin to the third Nolan Ryan ready to work to Harmon

363
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,640
Killebrew and here's Dave I'd take Harmon Killebrew his first time up a line double

364
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:13,240
down the left field line that drove in to Harmon playing and only his fifth game since

365
00:40:13,240 --> 00:40:18,040
knee surgery the day before the All-Star game he takes a fastball upstairs one ball and

366
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:24,400
no strikes that final of Phillies beat the Pirates three to two that was 13 innings the

367
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:29,460
next pitch to Killebrew occur just outside two balls and no strikes George Culver the

368
00:40:29,460 --> 00:40:35,880
winner Zachary took the loss for the Bucks the Bucks drop a half notch the line in the

369
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:41,520
two oh pitch to Harmon Killebrew a curve very high and inside three balls and no strikes

370
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:47,320
so Pittsburgh drops one full game behind the idle New York Mets in that wide open National

371
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:54,200
League East race line to the bill of his cap and the 3 0 pitch now to Harmon Killebrew

372
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,800
a fastball high and inside ball four and on four straight pitches Harmon Killebrew cuts

373
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:03,160
down the first base for Nolan Ryan that is the third base on ball that he is issued in

374
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:12,200
the ballgame and here is Jim Holt Holt was the first of Ryan's five strikeout victims

375
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:17,120
all struck out his first time up in the first inning left handed batting right fielder hitting

376
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,920
a two ninety six the pitch to him a fastball over the outer edge at the knees for a strike

377
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:28,280
ball oh and one Killebrew no threat at first base with that bum left knee Tom McCraw playing

378
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:33,720
behind Harmon Ryan at the belt Killebrew just walks off the bag and the pitch to Holt swing

379
00:41:33,720 --> 00:41:43,080
and a miss like to Ryan walks down a front slope of the mound now back on top Ryan a

380
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,960
quick worker is at the belt again and the 0 2 pitch to hold a curve high and outside

381
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:59,760
one and two Ryan again is ready to go to the belt does so checks Killebrew at first and

382
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,600
the 1 2 pitch to hold change right.

383
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:06,520
Oh that kind of means do that to a big left handed batter.

384
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,000
Ryan gave him the big motion and then floated a breaking pitch over the outside edge of

385
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:17,600
the knee that is number six number three hundred and seventy three nine away from the tie can

386
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:24,040
away from the record second time that he has struck out Jim Holt looking and here is George

387
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:29,040
Mitterwald Mitterwald struck out in the first inning Killebrew with his hands on his hips

388
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:34,880
anchored at the bag at first Ryan stretches and the pitch swung on ground ball to Parker

389
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:39,200
backs up on the ball he goes to short and no he doesn't he drops the ball as he starts

390
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:47,440
to go to shortstop and Billy Parker will be charged with an error.

391
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:52,440
So Parker trying to get rid of the ball in a hurry he did not have to because Killebrew

392
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:57,680
cannot run that well and as he tried to fuck the ball out of his glove he dropped it so

393
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:03,680
it'll be an error on Billy Parker Mitterwald goes to first Killebrew to second and here

394
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:11,440
is Eric Satterholm the stretch by Ryan Satterholm walked his first time and there is a sweeping

395
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,040
curve way outside low on one.

396
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:19,280
I rather want to know what's for Ryan not only is he thinking of the strikeouts but

397
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:23,920
he's thinking in the wind column too and the angels still with a chance to tie the twins

398
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,840
with their they would need a sweep of this four game series however the one office to

399
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:38,080
Satterholm a curve for a strike one and one one man down in the third a three three tie

400
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:42,080
the stretch by Ryan and the pitch fastball high and away one ball and one strike well

401
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:46,760
one of the most precious ingredients in Bush's time time to age naturally time to create

402
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:50,960
its own natural carbonation so settle down to the natural one settle down to Bush the

403
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:57,200
beer that brings you baseball the two one pitch curves like to call two balls and two

404
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:02,080
strikes on Eric Satterholm Satterholm hitting a three thirteen he has one home run he has

405
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:07,680
driven across nine Killebrew is at second Mitterwald is at first Ryan has struck out

406
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:22,800
six the stretch the two to pitch high ball three and strike two Ryan again back on top

407
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:27,640
Satterholm very slightly close to and the stretch by Noli and the payoff pitch a fastball

408
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,760
swung on a ground ball toward short talks got it he goes to Parker Parker's way to the

409
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:39,440
first double play so one more strikeout here in the third six four three double play Ryan

410
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:46,360
and the angels are out of it here in the third inning no runs no hits one error and one left

411
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:56,120
we go to the bottom half of the third it's the angels three the twins three and the bottom

412
00:44:56,120 --> 00:45:00,240
half the third in this three three tie right hander Dave Gose we'll look at Dave Chalk

413
00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:06,480
Frank Robinson and Tom McCraw the angels three runs on four hits the twins the twins

414
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:11,320
three runs on four hits the angels three runs on three hits Mopov's up picking up all three

415
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:16,800
of their runs in the first inning Dave Chalk a line drive base hit to write his first time

416
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:21,400
up David batting average at two thirty six and after getting off to a very slow start

417
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:27,560
after being recalled like talk is picked up in his batting average Dave with five RBI

418
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,320
Dave Gose just stoically staring down to his battery made George Mitterwald in the pitch

419
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:38,720
of the curve for a strike all in one Eric Satterholm is at third Jerry Terrell is at

420
00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:44,640
short Rod Carew is at second Harmon Killebrew is at first Gose one strike delivery chalk

421
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:51,400
runs up on it as if the fun and takes a fastball inside one ball and one strike and I'm resident

422
00:45:51,400 --> 00:46:00,480
Mike Adams is in left field Steve rise in center Jim Holt is around and right Eric Satterholm

423
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:05,040
looking down tall six four right hander to the wine of the one one delivery now chalk

424
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,960
runs up as if the bun again and pulls the bat back out and takes a good one this time

425
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:15,200
a curve for a strike one ball and two strikes you just joined us Nolan Ryan has struck out

426
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:21,120
six through three innings he's already eclipsed the major league record for most strikeouts

427
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:25,320
in two consecutive seasons the one two pitch of the line drive a little dire and a center

428
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:31,040
field a ball in for a base hit and David chalk bleeds one loops it back over the second base

429
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:35,480
bag in the center field for his second base hit of the ball game the hit totals are even

430
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:43,240
at four and here's Frank Robinson Robinson with his ninety six run driven in his last

431
00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:49,160
time up and Frank with a good shot at one hundred RBI to go along with at least those

432
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:54,640
thirty home runs Robinson all of a sudden is very much in that American League home

433
00:46:54,640 --> 00:47:02,400
run derby for nineteen seventy three resting only two behind Reggie Jackson chalk a pretty

434
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:07,200
good lead at first out on my killer brew and the pitch by ghosts the Robinson is last time

435
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:13,080
up and Franklin a good shot at one hundred RBI to go along with at least those thirty

436
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:19,040
home runs Robinson all of a sudden is very much in that American League home run derby

437
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:26,080
for nineteen seventy three resting only two behind Reggie Jackson chalk a pretty good

438
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:30,160
lead at first out on my killer brew and the pitch by ghosts to Robinson fastball for a

439
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:44,080
strike all in one Dave Goltz against the angels this year has no record he is one and one

440
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:57,640
against them career wise so the first diving back in on his hands and he's Dave chalk

441
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:01,200
Goltz again turns around throws the first and chalk again dives back in on his hands

442
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:06,400
and knees into the dirt Harmon killer brew there's a chance that the great slugger of

443
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:12,200
the twins is playing his final four games in a Minnesota twins uniform and we'll pursue

444
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:18,000
that story in a moment or two the stretch one strike delivery to Robinson foul back

445
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:23,960
off the fists onto the screen oh and to Calvin Griffith the president of the twins has two

446
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:28,400
designated hitters and both of them carry hefty salaries way over the one hundred thousand

447
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:35,000
dollar mark Tony Oliva of course much the better average the three time American League

448
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:42,280
batting champion Harmon killer brew with a great power Mr. Griffith is not so sure that

449
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:47,760
he can afford to carry two hundred thousand dollar designated hitters this stretch and

450
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:52,400
the pitch to Robinson curve low and outside fake throw to first base by the catch of George

451
00:48:52,400 --> 00:49:00,840
Mitterwald one and two killer brew's name goes with a Minnesota twins old Washington

452
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:06,400
Senators franchise about the way Henry Aaron does with the Braves franchise but sometimes

453
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:11,560
baseball can be a cruel game to go to first base but still get down the right field line

454
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,440
chasing in a second baseman Rod Garou and while all this happened Dave chalk will seem

455
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:24,120
all the way from first to third so it'll be an error on the pickoff move by Dave Goltz

456
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:28,740
twice before Goltz before going to the stretch and flip toss the first base trying to get

457
00:49:28,740 --> 00:49:32,800
chalk and twice he had David diving back in on his hands and knees this time he tried

458
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:36,680
it and threw it away and chalk did something to show that even though he's a young man

459
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,760
he has learned his baseball lessons well as he broke for second base he did not bother

460
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,680
to waste time looking where the ball was he knew he could make it to second and before

461
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,280
he got to second he was already looking at Parker third to see whether he should come

462
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:53,120
on and Parker waved him on and without hesitation chalk made it to third and actually turned

463
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,560
through that's how well he got over there and Robinson now with a chance to pick up

464
00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:01,680
his ninety-seven far behind the one two pitch to Frank a curve outside two balls and two

465
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:12,680
strikes to Frank Robinson leaning on the bat in the on deck circle is Tom McCraw Goltz

466
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:17,860
just behind the rubber now is ready to receive his sign from middle wall does so chalk just

467
00:50:17,860 --> 00:50:21,520
a couple of feet down the line from third the two two pitch to Robinson a fastball low

468
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:26,560
and outside ball three three balls and two strikes the Angels with the go ahead run at

469
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:32,640
third nobody out and the twins infield playing up trying to cut off the run about halfway

470
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,960
up shortstop Jerry Terrell second baseman Rod Carew Harmon Killebrew playing even with

471
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:43,760
a bag at first just behind the bag at third Eric Sutter home goes with the glove off now

472
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:56,080
puts it back on Robinson waits the wind and the payoff hits the Frank Robinson a curve

473
00:50:56,080 --> 00:51:01,440
outside a little change for a ball for the Angels with runners at first and third nobody

474
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:12,280
out second base on balls given up by Dave Goltz and here is Tom McCraw McCall McCraw

475
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:21,200
walked in the first inning the Angels after they had given up three runs in the top half

476
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,680
of the first came back with three of their own very quickly on an infield base hit by

477
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:31,160
Rivers a base hit by chalk a base hit by Robinson sacrifice fly by Pinson the stretch the pitch

478
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:38,680
to McCraw low and inside ball one one and oh and to stir around down in the Minnesota

479
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:50,400
twins bullpen now right hander begins to get up and throw earlier it had been Bill hands

480
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:59,500
Goltz at the belt one oh pitch to McCraw outside ball two two balls and no strikes

481
00:51:59,500 --> 00:52:05,760
wins three runs four hits one error the Angels three runs four hits and one error center

482
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:10,120
fielder Steve bry pulled around just a little bit in the right center field conference at

483
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:17,200
the mound between Middlerwald and goats now with goats with his hands on his hips finally

484
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:28,080
broken up George comes back behind the plate Tom McCraw hitting a 264 has hit the ball

485
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:35,840
very well a month of September Goltz at the belt the two two delivery a fastball tap foul

486
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:45,920
of the plate two balls and one strike I believe the count should be they have to two on the

487
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:56,320
board now the plate umpire corrects the board it is two balls and one strike on Tom McCraw

488
00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:00,920
plate umpire is red clarity Bill Degan is at first Lou Demuro at second Marty Springstead

489
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:08,000
around a third the stretch by Goltz and the pitch to McCraw swing and a foul tip at the

490
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:14,040
plate gets through the legs of both the catcher Middlerwald and the plate umpire red clarity

491
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:29,960
now the count is two balls and two strikes the first of the final four of 1973 Goltz

492
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:38,240
on top McCraw waving a wood back and forth the twins will concede the run for the double

493
00:53:38,240 --> 00:53:42,240
play the stretch in the picks and a crawl line drive base hit right field in easy the

494
00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:46,040
score is chalkman third base it's four to three angels Robinson makes a turn at second

495
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,840
will hold on there the throw behind him the shortstop Jerry Terrell trying to get him

496
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:55,400
in the billfold right at second base but Robinson was already safe at that bag so Tom McCraw

497
00:53:55,400 --> 00:54:04,720
with another line drive base hit his 24th RBI of the year and it is four to three angels

498
00:54:04,720 --> 00:54:08,800
bring along Beta Pinson who drove in to run his first time up and before he steps in we

499
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:19,680
pause for station identification this is the angels radio network Frank Quillacy at the

500
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:24,620
mound chatting he has a right hander Bill hands warming up in the bullpen and I believe

00:54:24,620 --> 00:54:33,000
he is going to go to the bullpen right now Dave Goltz has given up five hits in the three

502
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:37,000

503
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:43,600
he will go to the bullpen well you know Christmas really isn't that far off here we are the

Chicago Goltz at the belt one strike pitch now to Vada swung on a ground ball toward

536
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:42,760
short right there is Terrell he goes to the bag himself to throw the first for the double

537
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:47,160
play Terrell was already shaded over toward the bag at second it was an easy play for

538
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:52,880
him so the DP going six three with Frank Robinson moving down to third base on the play and

539
00:57:52,880 --> 00:58:00,480
here's Ken Berry.

540

541
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:10,720

00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:12,960
wind by hand the pitch to Ken high and outside one ball and two strikes to get back to the

551
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:19,880
plot as we go to the fourth Nolan Ryan has struck out six after the Angels finish with

552
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:23,240
their offensive show here in the top half of the fourth the wind by hand and the pitch

553
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:26,880
a fastball on the ground ball to the right side Garou gets a nice convenient hop flips

554
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:31,880
over to Harmon Killebrew and the Angels are gone in the third for the Californians one

555
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:38,400
run on a couple of base hits one error and the Angels lead one and the score after three

556
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,960
the Angels four and the twins have three.

557
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:46,880
Nolan Ryan just arriving at the pitching mound as we're set for the bottom half or rather

558
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:51,320
the top half of the fourth inning Nolan with six strikeouts perhaps taking it easy back

559
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:56,440
in the players lounge with the Angels during a rather long half inning in the bottom half

560
00:59:56,440 --> 01:00:03,040
of the third so he is just finishing up his warmup tosses with Jeff Torborg in the fourth

561
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:09,080
he'll look at Mike Adams Jerry Terrell and Steve Brie the Angels four runs five hits

562
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:15,160
the twins three runs on four hits Mike Adams his first time up struck out against Nolan

563
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:25,660
Ryan struck out to end the first inning.

564
01:00:25,660 --> 01:00:30,400
Mike wears number 25 on the back of his blue traveling double nips for the Minnesota Twins

565
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:35,840
Ryan tugs at the bill of his cap goes into the wind and the pitch to Adams outside with

566
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:40,000
a fastball one ball and no strikes.

567
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:46,900
The twins this year drawing just over 900,000 one-oh pitch way outside Nolan Ryan again

568
01:00:46,900 --> 01:00:53,840
overthrowing a fastball two and oh but for Minnesota it was the year that saw them draw

569
01:00:53,840 --> 01:01:02,800
a little over 100,000 more than they did in 1972.

570
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:06,560
The line and two oh pitch to Mike Adams a fastball a big rip and a miss and a batting

571
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:12,200
home it pops off the head of young Mr. Adams Adams hitting at 232 he has three home runs

572
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:22,440
he is driven across six

573
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:26,520
Ryan waiting for Adams to get back in he does so.

574
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:33,520
Ryan's two one delivery now fastball another rip and a miss two balls and two strikes.

575
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:44,200

576
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:48,200
Adams steps back in here is the two two pitch to Mike Adams a fastball strike three called

577
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:55,600
it at 374 Nolan Ryan eight away from the tie nine away from the record.

578
01:01:55,600 --> 01:02:00,960
He cut the plate in half with that fastball I think Adams was looking for that big vendor

579
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:05,520
the yellow hammer and got the good fastball looking for the hammer and he got the express

580
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:09,960
here is Jerry Terrell are grounded out to second baseman Billy Parker his first time

581
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:13,360
up Alan Gallagher in on the grass at third.

582
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:19,880
This is a good ballclub for Nolan Ryan to be pitching against for strikeouts her beautifully

583
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:25,680
thrown what I thought that was on one did you hurry Terrell.

584
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:29,120
Ryan again right back to the plate wasting no time this time he gets the express and

585
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:32,120
it's fouled back.

586
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:46,240
One and two on Jerry Terrell Terrell hitting it to seventy one.

587
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:49,440
The line in the 0 2 pitch fastball strike three.

588
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:57,960
There is three hundred and seventy five and Don Drysdale in the top 10 all time strikeouts

589
01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:02,600
lifetime deserves a little piece of credit for that one because he had noticed during

590
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:06,120
the course of the year every time that Ryan went to the crossfire he always threw the

591
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:11,080
curve never throw the fastball to the hitters knew the curve was coming and that time no

592
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:18,520
curve ball a fastball and strike three called Steve Bride is two for two against Nolan Ryan

593
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:25,080
the line and the pitch slider just outside all and one rather one and no one ball and

594
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:30,360
no strikes to Brian right twice has hit the ball to the right side through for base hits

595
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:31,720
the one 0 pitch.

596
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:37,280
There is the curve strike called and he has the crackling curve ball tonight one ball

597
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:40,000
and one strike.

598
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:45,400
The bright kind of backing away and he bowed to the wishes of the curve the 1 1 pitch.

599
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:51,040
There's the curve again just slow two balls and one strike.

600
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:56,440
The count to Steve Bride Ryan little meditation walk behind the grass on the back slope of

601
01:03:56,440 --> 01:04:02,400
the mound now back on top rubbing up the baseball all the wild tugging at the belly of the cap

602
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:08,120
the 2 1 delivery not a briar fastball foul back on the screen.

603
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:11,440
Ryan after giving up the three runs in the first struck out the side in the first and

604
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:16,520
he is one strike out away one strike away from striking out the side here in the fourth.

605
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:22,320
He has eight Ryan again is ready.

606
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:30,480
Here is the 2 2 pitch to Steve Bride curve high and inside three balls and two strikes

607
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:35,240
Ralph Rowe coaching down at third for Minnesota with his hands on his hips over at first.

608
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:40,800
Very Morgan Ryan again rubbing up a new wrinkle in the baseball count three balls and two

609
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:43,720
strikes and Steve Bride.

610
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,760
One with three hundred and seventy five and here she comes.

611
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:53,480
There's three hundred and seventy six and the record now very much in focus for Nolan

612
01:04:53,480 --> 01:05:01,880
Ryan on this night as that is nine years only six strikeouts away from tying Sandy Colfax

613
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:08,000
his record seven for the record all along nine strikeouts in the game through four innings

614
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:09,000
for Nolan Ryan.

615
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:15,600
We go to the bottom half of the fourth angels for the twins three.

616
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:24,400
The fans still a buzzer at Nolan Ryan strikeout performance so far through four innings he

617
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:26,800
has struck out nine.

618
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:32,880
He has 15 more outs to get six strikeouts for a tie seven strikeouts for an all time

619
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:36,800
record Alan Gallagher leads it off for the angels in the bottom half of the fourth and

620
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:40,200
takes a fastball for a strike the right hander Bill Hanz.

621
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:49,800
No balls and one strike Gallagher his first time up grounded out to third to end the first

622
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:53,360
hands winds in the one strike delivery to Gallagher ground ball to third again right

623
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:54,880
there is not at home.

624
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:55,880
He throws high to kill a bird.

625
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:56,880
The first time in time it pulled off the bag.

626
01:05:56,880 --> 01:06:05,160
I'm not going to write the old side of the bag and he got the ladder to get it.

627
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:13,880
It'll be an error on third baseman Eric Soderholm that'll bring along Billy Parker Soderholm

628
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:16,360
at all the time in the world.

629
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:22,440
But he had Killebrew about five or six feet headed toward right field right down the line

630
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:26,640
Killebrew trying to get back to the bag in time to get the tag on Gallagher but couldn't

631
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:27,640
do it.

632
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:31,600
Billy Parker grounded out to second his first time up.

633
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:35,360
Billy hitting a two fifteen it's a four three ball game angels but that is not really the

634
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:36,360
story.

635
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:41,320
Nolan Ryan with nine strikeouts through four innings.

636
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:48,080
The stretch by hand and the pitch to Parker way outside with a breaking pitch.

637
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:49,760
One ball and no strikes.

638
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:53,600
Angels baseball is brought to you by Continental Airlines where every flight is a flight to

639
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:57,960
remember the people at Continental take a personal interest in you each time you fly.

640
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:00,800
So you remember your trip for a long time after you're home.

641
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:08,320
It's a special way to fly and only on Continental Airlines the proud bird with the golden tail.

642
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:10,480
And at the belt one oh pitch to Parker.

643
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:15,120
Try to spread up around the shoulders of Billy Parker.

644
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:19,600
Red clarity throwing up the right hand one ball and one strike Gallagher is at first

645
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:26,600
to four three ball game angels.

646
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:32,400
Bill holding Gallagher on at first hands at the belt.

647
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:38,120
Token toss to first Gallagher diving back in on his hands and knees.

648
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:39,800
Alan will not wipe off that dirt.

649
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,680
It's part of his uniform when he's flying.

650
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:46,520
Stretch one one pitch to Parker swing and a miss a big rip right up around the eyes of

651
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:54,440
Bill one and two.

652
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:58,120
Bill hands has been somewhat of a disappointment to the twins this year coming over figure

653
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:01,360
to move into the starting rotation.

654
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:05,520
But he has won seven and he has lost ten.

655
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:09,720
The stretch in the pitch to Parker way inside a little chin music to Mr. Parker that time

656
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:13,360
two balls and two strikes.

657
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:18,280
Hands has started 15 games for the twins this year.

658
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:24,280
This is his thirty ninth appearance out of the year.

659
01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:27,600
And run average of three point six one and the pitch to Parker swung out on a ground

660
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:28,600
ball toward short.

661
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:32,000
Right there is a shortstop Terrell to step on the bag at second throw to first for the

662
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:33,640
easy double play.

663
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:38,840
And for the twins they pull off their second six three twin killing Jerry Terrell to Harmon

664
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:41,040
Killebrew two down.

665
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:51,400
Here's Jeff Torborg.

666
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:57,560
Jeff Torborg catching so many of Sandy Koufax's games that chance again to be a part of major

667
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:06,840
league history as he is behind the plate catching Nolan Ryan tonight.

668
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:10,440
And that deep breath into the line and the pitch to Jeff fastball on a ground ball toward

669
01:09:10,440 --> 01:09:12,160
the hole over there to plug it up as Terrell.

670
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:16,560
He's got it the long throw high again but Killebrew up with the letter this time to

671
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:17,840
pull it down.

672
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:23,560
So the angels gone in the fourth no runs no hits one error nobody left and after four

673
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:27,000
the angels four and the twins have three.

674
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:29,040
Good thing you play again for more play here's that.

675
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:30,040
All right down three.

676
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:35,240
Okay sorry I was thinking about Don also three hundred and seventy six strikeout for Ryan

677
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:38,680
six shy and he's off to a tremendous start tonight.

678
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:41,920
He faces Rod Carell here in the fifth the pitch high and away ball one.

679
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:47,320
Jeff Torborg behind the plate Gallagher chalk Parker and McCraw in the infield Barry Rivers

680
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:53,560
and tension in the outfield Ryan rocks back and here's the pitch swing and a man.

681
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:57,720
Through walk and scored in a three run first inning for the twins he struck out swinging

682
01:09:57,720 --> 01:09:59,840
in the second.

683
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:06,920
Well the fans tonight came with fingers crossed that they might see Ryan break the record

684
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:10,720
tonight but really realism said now it'll be Sunday.

685
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:12,760
The pitch straight to call.

686
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:17,360
But you can tell from their reaction after he struck out the side in the fourth inning

687
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:21,360
to get nine in the first four innings they're thinking now as everyone else is that this

688
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:25,520
could be the night he becomes the all time major league strikeout pitcher.

689
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:32,880
He's just broken one after another one two pitch high fastball Oliva and killer grew to

690
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:35,360
follow in the Minnesota fifth inning.

691
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:40,120
Ryan walks down the back slope of the mound rubbing up the baseball the outfield.

692
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:44,480
They've been spectators this far in the ballgame with the exception of feeling the base hits.

693
01:10:44,480 --> 01:10:50,640
They have not had a put out a windup and a two to pitch high and he blistered that one

694
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:56,000
in there but around the bill of the helmet of the roof.

695
01:10:56,000 --> 01:11:02,240
Perhaps to settle an argument or two between Angel and Dodger fans or Ryan and Kofax fans

696
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:10,960
first the three to pitch swing and a man and strikeout for Ryan as Peru chased a bad ball

697
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:18,360
a fastball scaling up and away three hundred and seventy seven he's five away from Kofax

698
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:22,960
when Kofax at the major league record of three hundred eighty two strikeouts in nineteen

699
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:24,480
sixty five.

700
01:11:24,480 --> 01:11:26,760
He had 40 starts.

701
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:29,800
This is Ryan's thirty nine tonight.

702
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:31,200
His 40th would be on Sunday.

703
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:35,800
And that of course with that strikeout of Rod Carew Nolan Ryan again adds to his already

704
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:36,800
major league total.

705
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:40,480
That is the twenty third time that he has struck out ten or more men.

706
01:11:40,480 --> 01:11:43,680
That is amazing.

707
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:48,040
One out in the fifth inning Ryan has 10 already a leave off the pitch high and outside and

708
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:54,920
Ryan just thrusting all one hundred ninety five pound sword the plate on every pitch

709
01:11:54,920 --> 01:12:00,800
twenty six years old and sometimes you figure the pop of that mitt can be heard all the

710
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:06,320
way down to Texas and now a proud son of Southern California.

711
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:07,320
The pitch swing.

712
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:18,960
The crowd cheering every pitch now and we got a lot of time to go.

713
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:23,600
This could be one of the exciting nights of the season here at the big day reacting now

714
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:28,400
to the note that Dave gave you a twenty third time this year Ryan has struck out ten or

715
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:32,040
more to extend his major league record for the season.

716
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:34,440
One ball one strike.

717
01:12:34,440 --> 01:12:38,120
Ryan winds delivers line drive base hit up the middle.

718
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:44,400
So I'll leave it twice and hit that fastball on a shot right back past Nolan Ryan and ends

719
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:47,360
the string a three straight four straight strikeout.

720
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:51,080
Oh Lava with his second hit after he struck out in the second and here's how many kill

721
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:52,080
a brew.

722
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:57,240
He doubled in two runs in the first inning and was safe at first.

723
01:12:57,240 --> 01:13:00,480
He walked in the third and save a second on an air in the third.

724
01:13:00,480 --> 01:13:07,000
So Carmen won for one infield will align itself or two.

725
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:09,800
The game score seems almost incidental at the moment.

726
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:14,840
It's the angels for Minnesota three each team scored three times in the first inning the

727
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:20,360
pitch fastball swung on right into the power of kill a brew.

728
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:24,000
Jim Holt who has struck out twice is on deck.

729
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:31,240
Ryan waste no time he sends it back changes up and in a folder string on a fastball and

730
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:39,160
adjustment lots of folks trying to help Red Flaherty now one ball one strike one out one

731
01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:45,360
run lead for Ryan the pitch swing in the hour against power.

732
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:48,800
The fastball was by kill a brew.

733
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:53,960
Nolan reaches down throw some pebbles off the front slope of the mound.

734
01:13:53,960 --> 01:14:00,320
Nolan drives toward the batter or toward home plate so vigorously that he wears out the

735
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:04,560
toe of that shoe and has had a blister throughout his pitching career.

736
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:09,400
He just wears on the right toe as he follows through the one to pitch.

737
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:17,800
All back as kill a brew nip that one enough to spoil strike three one and two and Ryan

738
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:22,760
thinking about every pitch he takes a slow walk around the first base side of the mound

739
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:29,560
now up on top one and two let the crowd call this pitch here it comes.

740
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:34,840
A curveball strikes out kill a brew.

741
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:38,480
That's the 11th for Nolan Ryan.

742
01:14:38,480 --> 01:14:41,600
Nolan now has three hundred and seventy eight strikeout.

743
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:49,880
He is only four away from Colfax and now it is a very real possibility and everyone cognizant

744
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:55,840
of the fact that they may be sitting in tonight on the all time single season major league

745
01:14:55,840 --> 01:15:00,400
record for strikeout the pitch to hold is outside ball one.

746
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:02,840
Ryan off to a tremendous start.

747
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:07,360
He struck out the side in the first got two in the second one in the third struck out

748
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:10,040
the side in the fourth and he struck out two here in the fifth.

749
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:15,360
He won't get hold who pops it up chalk on the outfield grass is hundred makes the catch

750
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:16,960
and the inning is over.

751
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:21,400
I had the feeling that some of the fans were asking chalk not to catch the ball.

752
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:26,600
Well that's not really in the spirit of things although we can understand folks here wanting

753
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:27,600
to see the record.

754
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:32,000
Ryan nevertheless has the side out in the fifth inning strikes out to allows one hit

755
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:35,880
and leaves one and at the halfway mark in this one four and a half innings in the book

756
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:39,800
angels lead four to three and Ryan has eleven strikeouts.

757
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:45,680
He needs just four more to tie Colfax and five to set the record.

758
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:49,000
Bill Hanson amount in relief of starter Dave Goltz.

759
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:58,000
He faces the top of the order Mickey Rivers one for two right hander delivers a strike

760
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:05,760
Nolan Ryan with eleven strikeouts in the first five tonight an excellent chance of setting

761
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:09,800
the mark this evening and certainly is right there on the doorstep in case he misses tonight

762
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:15,480
swinging a miss by Rivers at two and two and even with the two days rest regardless of

763
01:16:15,480 --> 01:16:20,120
what happens in the final four innings tonight he'll be just a handful away from Colfax if

764
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:22,240
he goes Sunday.

765
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:41,280
Two strikes on Rivers and winds the pitch inside with a fastball.

766
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:46,240
The one two pitch Rivers swings and nubs one back a second crew going out in comes hold

767
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:50,200
it is hold who makes the catch on the run.

768
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:54,160
Little saw fly off the fist of Rivers and hold able to come in and squeeze it for the

769
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:55,160
first time.

770
01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:59,000
Dave Chalk is two for two and he scored two runs tonight.

771
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:02,680
First we pause for station identification from Anaheim Stadium.

772
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:05,800
This is the Angels radio network.

773
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:16,880
And this is KXTC Glendale Phoenix 92.3 FM stereo.

774
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:25,280
The pitch to Chalk is he tried to bond and misses it strike one.

775
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:30,200
One strike on Dave Chalk is he is going to try to bond his way on.

776
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:32,560
Bill hands on the mound.

777
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:37,640
Here's the pitch right up over the helmet of chalk and by the glove of middle wall to

778
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:42,520
the screen one and one to the young angel shortstop Frank Robinson to follow.

779
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:46,240
We're in the bottom of the fifth inning the Angels four runs five hits the twins three

780
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:47,880
runs five hits.

781
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:53,880
But the story Ryan has 11 strikeouts line drive down the left field line hooking foul

782
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:55,160
by about five feet.

783
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:59,960
So chalk misses a double by just that margin.

784
01:17:59,960 --> 01:18:07,120
You can see Dave feeling his maturity as a big league prospect with each plate appearance.

785
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:12,680
He looks more confident swinging that bat better and better and certainly has done some

786
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:14,560
fine work in the field.

787
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:19,200
One ball two strikes to count one out no one on bottom of the fifth inning.

788
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:27,720
The veteran hands getting a sign from middle wall says yes to the sign chalk up on the

789
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:29,200
handle of the bat.

790
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:37,680
Here's the pitch outside with a big breaking ball two and two hands and Decker coming to

791
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:43,920
Minnesota in the deal with the Cubs last winter when Dave LaRoche went to Chicago to two pitch

792
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:44,920
swing and a miss.

793
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:51,080
He got him with a breaking ball that strikeout for Bill hands is his first and the first

794
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:56,720
of the night for Minnesota pitching Frank Robinson RBI single in the first scored himself

795
01:18:56,720 --> 01:19:12,000
and he walked in the third inning and six to and one 90s a New Jersey boy.

796
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:16,880
The pitch swung on a chopper to short third baseman outside of home in front of the short

797
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:20,600
stop throws high but in time for the out of skill a brew has to go up the ladder and spirit

798
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:23,240
and come down in a hurry to get the put out.

799
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:28,800
So hands retires the angels in order in the fifth inning we go to the six angels for Minnesota

800
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:41,280
three five inning totals angels for runs five hits in one error they left to Minnesota three

801
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:44,280
runs five hits and two errors of stranded five.

802
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:49,280
Nolan Ryan has walked three and he has struck out eleven batters through the first five

803
01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:50,280
innings.

804
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:54,480
He has three hundred seventy eight strikeouts this season just four shy of the major league

805
01:19:54,480 --> 01:20:01,440
record George Mitterwald Eric Satterholm and Mike Adams in the Minnesota six inning.

806
01:20:01,440 --> 01:20:04,200
Better wall to struck out and save on Parker's error.

807
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:12,040
Pitch by Ryan fastball strike called on the outside corner.

808
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:19,320
Ryan gets it back and fires curveball strike to Mitterwald got two strikes on him in about

809
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:23,360
10 seconds and now he backs out of the batter's bug.

810
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:26,920
He said yeah at least want my time in the center circle here.

811
01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:33,120
You can hardly blame him if he'd allowed Ryan to throw that next one in at the Venice strike

812
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:37,040
he would have taken the fastest walk to home plate and back maybe in history.

813
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:42,400
All right just getting the ball and just throwing it to wind up in the two strike pitch curveball

814
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,000
bounce the third Gallagher up with it.

815
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:50,320
Fairhands throws over the head of McCraw all the way into the crowd on the fly and his

816
01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:56,520
second base goes the time run Mitterwald Gallagher through the ball not just against the boxy

817
01:20:56,520 --> 01:21:03,040
railing all the way into the crowd and Mitterwald gets two bases on the air.

818
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:10,600
So the tying run and scoring position and Eric Satterholm is the better at when landing in

819
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:18,600
the seats down the only Minnesota dugout about oh nine or 10 seats in the first row.

820
01:21:18,600 --> 01:21:27,080
Satterholm has walked and grounded into a double play angels got three runs in the bottom

821
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:31,240
of the first inning after the twins got three in the top of the first Satterholm hit this

822
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:38,880
one into the upper deck off to the right and a good catch made by a fan angels baseball

823
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:42,760
brought to you by Chevrolet take yourself out to the ball game and a Chevrolet Chevelle

824
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:45,800
strong and right and handling quick responsive and smooth.

825
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:57,160
Chevelle Malibu, Chevelle Laguna they're great to drive curveball on outside one and one

826
01:21:57,160 --> 01:22:02,560
one ball one strike Mitterwald with no one out stands at second base a four three angel

827
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:06,040
lead the pitch fastball hit in the air to right field that should get Mitterwald to

828
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:10,520
third he's tagging his pins and circles makes the catch near the foul line Mitterwald on

829
01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:16,120
his way to third the long throw is cut off by chalk as Mitterwald goes in standing.

830
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:22,160
So a two base throwing error by third base Menell Gallagher and a long fly to right and

831
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:25,840
the twins can score the tying run on and out.

832
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:31,080
The twins could care much less about Nolan Ryan's strikeout performance they would like

833
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:36,560
to get a win tonight and know they have third place clinched in the American League West

834
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:43,480
Adams has struck out twice swinging and called facing Ryan tonight.

835
01:22:43,480 --> 01:22:48,640
Infield plays halfway with one out trying to hold Mitterwald at third outfield toward

836
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:56,560
right for Adams Gallagher chalk Parker and McCraw in close the pitch strike fastball

837
01:22:56,560 --> 01:23:11,880
Ryan is using the windup looks over at Mitterwald as he gets the sign from catcher Jeff Torborg

838
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:17,040
still staring in much more deliberate now now he nods yes sweeps into the windup kicks

839
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:22,400
and deals fastball too low and a good stop made by Torborg is down on those knees to

840
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:29,400
protect that one from going through 82 degrees as this game started tonight nearly October

841
01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:35,720
but it's a warm summer ease in Southern California and Ryan with his fastball making it hotter

842
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:47,280
for the twins 1 1 pitch curveball too high two balls in a strike Jerry Terrell on deck

843
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:52,320
Ryan has at least one strikeout in every inning tonight and struck out the side in the first

844
01:23:52,320 --> 01:24:03,120
and the fourth a total of 11 Mitterwald down the line from third the 2 1 pitch curveball

845
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:09,200
is outside and again a good stop by Torborg is that one bounced in three and one to Mike

846
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:14,760
Adams the left fielder hitting 232 with three home runs six runs batted in he's been with

847
01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:22,880
the club all season long but hasn't played much been up only 56 times but shows surprising

848
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:39,440
power for his size 3 1 delivery hit foul into the upper deck a fastball

849
01:24:39,440 --> 01:24:44,200
Frank Willis he has announced that he will use one less coach next year with Red Worthington

850
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:49,520
the pitching coach taking a college coaching job and ex-angel Bob Rogers will become both

851
01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:56,840
the pitching and bullpen coach the 3 2 pitch foul back that one's sailing into the lower

852
01:24:56,840 --> 01:25:03,720
press level one of the executive boobs off to the right Mr. Ockrey's boo that seems

853
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:07,600
only fair that the chairman of the board and his guest should have a souvenir of this night

854
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:17,120
touch of class by Mr. Adams there at the plate three and two one out Mitterwald at third

855
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:25,400
and here's the pitch just outside a fastball misses Adams walks on that 3 2 delivery the

856
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:30,720
fourth free ticket offered by Ryan tonight and Jeff Torborg calls time and goes out to

857
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:37,280
the mound Jerry Carroll has grounded out and took a third strike right handed batter way

858
01:25:37,280 --> 01:25:47,560
up on the handle tough to throw the fastball by him Adams from Anaheim and Terrell from

859
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:57,080
the San Fernando Valley makes his home in recita runners at first and third one out

860
01:25:57,080 --> 01:26:01,120
four to three angels here in the top of the sixth inning Ryan delivers a curveball bunted

861
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:07,160
foul it was a safety squeeze Mitterwald was not racing in from third he's going to make

862
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:11,320
sure that bunt was down before he made his break Dick we can't help but sit back here

863
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:16,960
and thank as we look at Nolan Ryan about that rain in Kansas City had it not been for that

864
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:22,200
he and Kofax would be tied right this very second and of course he was denied what four

865
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:28,960
more innings of pitch that's right fans might be thinking about 400 strikeouts this year

866
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:34,160
the pitch strike a fastball at the knees gets away from Torborg but not very far and the

867
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:43,840
runners have to hold so twice Terrell going to bunt once he did foul and that when he

868
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:53,920
took low at the knees for a strike Ryan pitch away from a dozen strikeouts Adams at first

869
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:59,200
Mitterwald at third one out the 0 2 pitch grounded to the right side and throw in the

870
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:03,280
right field the run scores there goes Adams around second and he holds as Pinson comes

871
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:08,240
up with a ball and the game is tied Terrell he doesn't get that fastball thrown by him

872
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:12,680
very often he just shot it right through the gap on the right side of the infield to tie

873
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:19,280
the ball game up so the air pays off on the under and run the twins tied up at four a

874
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:25,440
piece Terrell's thirty second RBI this year runners at first and second and Steve Brie

875
01:27:25,440 --> 01:27:32,000
two for three in the game is the batter right handed hitting center fielder Pinson playing

876
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:36,080
shallow in right field so Adams could not advance the third curve ball called strike

877
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:43,120
at the outside corner the run for the first inning in the game does not appear overpowering

878
01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:47,080
with his pitches and this has happened often especially about this time fifth sixth seventh

879
01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:52,080
innings of games pitch by Nolan fastball fouled out of play and again he has two strikes on

880
01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:59,040
a batter however he had two strikes on Sotterhall before he flied out he had two strikes on Adams

881
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:04,160
before he walked and he had two strikes on Terrell before he's single Rod Carew on deck

882
01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:10,240
a four four tie sixth inning the 0 2 pitch from the side oh a great backhanded stop by

883
01:28:10,240 --> 01:28:18,440
Torborg he had to throw his body outside and the fans applaud his effort Ryan side armed

884
01:28:18,440 --> 01:28:22,940
that curveball up there and made sure to keep it away but it started outside and kept breaking

885
01:28:22,940 --> 01:28:30,640
farther away and Torborg had to do a three quarter dive into the dirt to backhanded runners

886
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:35,080
at first and second the 1 2 pitch curveball grounded up the middle could be to chalk flips

887
01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:42,960
to Parker Parker back to first a double play the inning is over and for the first time

888
01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:49,200
tonight Ryan does not get a strikeout one unearned run on one hit and one left we go

889
01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:57,160
to the bottom of the sixth or four four time bottom of the sixth inning we go for all tie

890
01:28:57,160 --> 01:29:01,760
Tom McRaw they depends on and Ken Berry try to get the angels back to run as Dave Goltz

891
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:05,880
the starting pitcher from Minnesota has taken off the hook where the unearned run scored

892
01:29:05,880 --> 01:29:09,400
in the top half of the inning it belongs now to Bill Haynes who gets ready to work the

893
01:29:09,400 --> 01:29:17,040
McRaw who has walked and singled in a run Tommy has exploded in the second half of the

894
01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:21,000
season he's raised that average up to two sixty four takes it high and off the glove

895
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:25,000
the middle walled all the way to the screen.

896
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:32,640
Ryan tonight has become the first major league pitcher in history to strike out over seven

897
01:29:32,640 --> 01:29:35,120
hundred batters in back to back seasons.

898
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:40,920
Kofax is record with six ninety nine and now Nolan with three hundred seventy eight this

899
01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:48,000
season four behind Sandy's record one old pitch McRaw hits one down the left field line

900
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:53,280
slicing away from Adams who races to the chalk to the warning track and makes the catch a

901
01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:59,440
good play by Adams as he braced himself against the box seat railing.

902
01:29:59,440 --> 01:30:04,400
McRaw fouls out to left right fielder Vada Pinson steps up Pinson is driven in one run

903
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:15,240
with a sacrifice fly and grounded into a double play.

904
01:30:15,240 --> 01:30:20,080
Right hander hands against left hander Pinson the outfield plays Vada shade to pull Killebrew

905
01:30:20,080 --> 01:30:24,880
guarding the line at first base and Peru on the edge of the outfield grass at second high

906
01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:29,640
fly ball to left this is routine for Adams coming in on it Terrell goes out and gives

907
01:30:29,640 --> 01:30:35,440
way and Adams makes the play to us.

908
01:30:35,440 --> 01:30:38,560
To pitch his two outs for Bill Hands and here comes Ken Berry.

909
01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:47,240
He is not going to run with the ground ball out he's over to angels for Minnesota for

910
01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:57,400
each team with two errors plans about hit the angels six to five.

911
01:30:57,400 --> 01:31:07,240
Toes the rubber winds the pitch slider hits the corner strike call five against either

912
01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:10,360
May or Tana tomorrow night.

913
01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:19,920
Singer goes Saturday night and Ryan possibly on Sunday inside one and one.

914
01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:26,960
Arreale Monteguto begins to throw in the angel bullpen Ryan must be over 100 pitches already.

915
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:33,120
He was in the high 60s after three innings one one pitch ground ball pulled foul pass

916
01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:34,720
third and backhanded by Satterholm.

917
01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:40,600
The count is one and two on Ken Berry.

918
01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:51,000
Now you certainly have to consider Nolan Ryan for the Salyung award this year.

919
01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:55,240
He has not had much flack much publicity for it.

920
01:31:55,240 --> 01:32:02,560
But I would guess he'll get some votes one two pitches filed out of play several 20 game

921
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:10,160
winners Palmer Blue Hunter Holtzman Colburn split or Joe Coleman of the Tigers Wilbur

922
01:32:10,160 --> 01:32:15,840
Wood Bert Blylevin Bill Singer the angels hope on Saturday night and Gaylord Perry has

923
01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:24,040
19 wins one two pitch fly ball to center over goes the center fielder Brian to right center

924
01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:28,920
to make the catch and for the second straight inning Bill Hanz has the angels down in order

925
01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:35,400
we go to the seventh of four four time from Anaheim Stadium Dick Henberg with Dave Niehaus

926
01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:40,080
and Dick Nelson mighty happier join us Nolan Ryan with the 11 strikeouts through six innings

927
01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:44,360
involved in now in a four four time we go to the seventh and more play here Dave.

928
01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:48,600
I Dick Rodger who has struck out twice in three trips to the plate against Nolan Ryan

929
01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:52,760
leads it off takes a fastball rather swings and fouls back a fastball up against the screen

930
01:32:52,760 --> 01:33:00,520
for a strike on one Rod became Nolan's fourth and tenth strikeout victim last man to strike

931
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:05,160
out against Ryan was Harmon Killebrew back in the fifth in the sixth the only inning

932
01:33:05,160 --> 01:33:10,520
which Ryan did not strike out a man why did the one strike pitch a fastball low and inside

933
01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:18,800
one ball and one strike through all for two Rod steps back out.

934
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:34,720
Ryan likes to work in that fast fashion one one pitch strike to call through has struck

935
01:33:34,720 --> 01:33:44,280
out eight times against Nolan Ryan this year Ryan Wines here is the one two pitch to Rod

936
01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:55,080
Carolla fastball high and two balls and two strikes.

937
01:33:55,080 --> 01:34:01,320
The two two pitch to Rod Carolla curve just inside red clarity gave it that extra long

938
01:34:01,320 --> 01:34:07,680
peak and said no three balls and two strikes Ryan really wanted that when he stares back

939
01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:13,360
down to the red head who doesn't have too much red in the hair anymore mostly silver

940
01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:15,680
three balls and two strikes.

941
01:34:15,680 --> 01:34:32,880
Ryan is ready for the payoff pitch to Rod Garou and here she comes three two pitch 379

942
01:34:32,880 --> 01:34:42,000
three away from the tie or away from the record that is number 12 for Nolan Ryan tonight Tony

943
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:48,640
Oliva has single twice in three trips to the plate against Nolan Ryan.

944
01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:53,000
He struck out the other time Tony O.

945
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:56,360
They get himself a foothold with that left foot calling time to make sure that Ryan is

946
01:34:56,360 --> 01:35:02,800
not going to fast pitch him into the line and Nolan's pitch is a fastball high and tight.

947
01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:07,680
He's going to fast pitch him whether he steps in or not with fastballs I would imagine although

948
01:35:07,680 --> 01:35:13,120
Tony Oliva usually try to keep the breaking pitch low and in on this great hitter from

949
01:35:13,120 --> 01:35:20,880
Cuba and he got the fastball the first time one ball and no strikes.

950
01:35:20,880 --> 01:35:26,480
Ryan bends deep checks with door board the one all pitch to Tony O. change curve inside

951
01:35:26,480 --> 01:35:28,480
two balls and no strikes.

952
01:35:28,480 --> 01:35:32,520
Bush is naturally aged and naturally carbonated it's ruled with the finest of natural ingredients

953
01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:37,000
because that's the way to make a better beer so settle down to the natural one settle down

954
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:40,920
to Bush and remember that Bush is the beer that brings you baseball.

955
01:35:40,920 --> 01:35:45,360
Right hander Bill Campbell warming up for Minnesota Twins in their bullpen aligned in

956
01:35:45,360 --> 01:35:59,480
the two all pitch to Tony Oliva low and inside ball three three and all.

957
01:35:59,480 --> 01:36:02,280
Ryan waiting for Oliva to get back in.

958
01:36:02,280 --> 01:36:10,960
A four four tie the three all pitch fastball inside ball for Nolan Ryan with his fifth

959
01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:16,720
base on balls and here is Herman Killebrew.

960
01:36:16,720 --> 01:36:21,480
Herman has struck out once in three trips to the plate against Nolan Ryan.

961
01:36:21,480 --> 01:36:27,600
He doubled in two in the first walked in the third.

962
01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:31,400
Ryan has struck out Bri once he has struck out Rod Carew three times.

963
01:36:31,400 --> 01:36:38,000
Here is a stretch and the pitch to kill a swing and a miss on one struck out Tony Oliva

964
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:42,200
once kill a brew once Jim Holt twice.

965
01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:46,960
Mitterwald once Mike Adams twice the stretch in the pitch to kill a bruise back to call

966
01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:55,800
her ball inside corner on to Andy has struck out Jerry Turrow once a total of 12.

967
01:36:55,800 --> 01:37:01,520
If he can strike out Harmon Killebrew that would be number three hundred and eighty the

968
01:37:01,520 --> 01:37:02,520
stretch.

969
01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:11,320
Here is the pitch to kill a brew of fastball.

970
01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:25,520
He challenged Killebrew with his best fastball right where Harmon likes it right up around

971
01:37:25,520 --> 01:37:29,040
the eyes and he threw it right by him.

972
01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:33,480
I'm in Killebrew become strikeout victim number three hundred and eighty the stretch.

973
01:37:33,480 --> 01:37:38,960
Here is the pitch to hold a swing and a miss.

974
01:37:38,960 --> 01:37:42,840
If he should strike out the side in the seventh inning they'll give him a standing ovation

975
01:37:42,840 --> 01:37:44,120
all the way into that dugout.

976
01:37:44,120 --> 01:37:47,120
Now they're all in it.

977
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:50,440
Holt waving a whip back and forth Oliva is at first.

978
01:37:50,440 --> 01:38:01,360
Here's the stretch by Nolan the one strike delivery a fastball struck to Nolan one strike

979
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:08,800
away from being one strikeout away from Colfax's all time record and a chance to strike out

980
01:38:08,800 --> 01:38:12,440
the side for the third time in this game the stretch the two strike pitch.

981
01:38:12,440 --> 01:38:17,160
Slow and outside and red clarity really did want to come up with that right arm.

982
01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:20,840
He did kind of a side step to the left and at the last moment said no it was just low

983
01:38:20,840 --> 01:38:23,400
and outside one and two.

984
01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:25,920
Oliva just stationed at first.

985
01:38:25,920 --> 01:38:30,000
Here's the one two pitch line drive left field that'll fall in for a base hit.

986
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:34,560
Oliva will advance as far as second so after going one and two on Holt Nolan comes in with

987
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:42,280
a slow curve ball that hangs over the outer edge and Holt goes to left field with it.

988
01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:46,320
Here's George Middowall a four four tie.

989
01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:54,040
Nolan Ryan has thrown a lot of pitches something else Dave that naturally we would all overlook

990
01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:59,360
but indeed is a possibility is the American League single game strikeout record at 13

991
01:38:59,360 --> 01:39:01,840
inches five away from that.

992
01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:06,520
That's right the stretch and the pitch change.

993
01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:11,720
Also Dick I don't know how long they would let Nolan go but there would be a distinct

994
01:39:11,720 --> 01:39:17,560
possibility of things continue the way they are going that we might go into extra innings.

995
01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:20,240
I don't know how much rubber is left in that arm of his though.

996
01:39:20,240 --> 01:39:22,600
The stretch and the one strike pitch.

997
01:39:22,600 --> 01:39:34,520
Strike two call on the other end again Ryan with a two strike advantage on a hitter Ryan

998
01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:37,120
tugged at the bill of the cap.

999
01:39:37,120 --> 01:39:52,760
Well let the crowd tell you this one the two strike pitch.

1000
01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:57,960
Nolan Ryan is one strikeout away from Sandy Colfax's record he has struck out 14 in his

1001
01:39:57,960 --> 01:39:58,960
ballgame.

1002
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:04,800
He has struck out the side again a standing ovation for the young man from Alvin Texas

1003
01:40:04,800 --> 01:40:09,880
as he disappears into the angels dugout along the third base line.

1004
01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:15,080
Baseball history could be made in the top half of the eighth inning after six and a

1005
01:40:15,080 --> 01:40:16,080
half.

1006
01:40:16,080 --> 01:40:18,680
We have a four four.

1007
01:40:18,680 --> 01:40:21,320
Go to the bottom half of the seventh.

1008
01:40:21,320 --> 01:40:25,960
Well I know selfishly speaking Mr. Richard Enberg a lot of people here would like to

1009
01:40:25,960 --> 01:40:31,280
see Nolan Ryan break the record tonight and you selfishly have to be pulling for him because

1010
01:40:31,280 --> 01:40:33,200
you are not going to be here.

1011
01:40:33,200 --> 01:40:36,560
That's right and I must say this now that Nolan Ryan told me tonight.

1012
01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:37,560
Don't worry about it.

1013
01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:38,560
I'm going to go after it this evening.

1014
01:40:38,560 --> 01:40:39,560
All right.

1015
01:40:39,560 --> 01:40:44,240
Here is Alan Gallagher in this four four tie the pitch swung on and a high fly ball to

1016
01:40:44,240 --> 01:40:48,880
right field in on the ball as Holt out of second baseman Peru and it's Holt for the

1017
01:40:48,880 --> 01:40:50,760
cats one down.

1018
01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:57,400
What did they call that in a in a ballet or an opera when the whole storyline is interrupted

1019
01:40:57,400 --> 01:41:01,120
just to allow you a chance to pull back and enjoy a diverties one.

1020
01:41:01,120 --> 01:41:04,280
This is what the top half of the innings are for Nolan Ryan tonight.

1021
01:41:04,280 --> 01:41:08,000
You kind of just need to relax and wait for his turn to go out on the mound.

1022
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:09,000
Here is Billy Parker.

1023
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:14,880
Parker has grounded out to second and bounced into a double play right hander Bill hands

1024
01:41:14,880 --> 01:41:19,000
into the line and the pitch swung on line drive base hit right center field over the

1025
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:22,400
outstretched love of Rod Carew.

1026
01:41:22,400 --> 01:41:29,520
So while the angels fans at least are waiting for Nolan Ryan to make the appearance the

1027
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:33,360
angels trying to get him to go ahead run here in the seventh with a one out single by Billy

1028
01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:42,560
Parker a four four tie the twins for run seven hits the angels for run six hits in regulation

1029
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:49,640
time the twins have six outs against Nolan Ryan and Ryan has already struck out 14 the

1030
01:41:49,640 --> 01:41:57,680
American League record single game 18 the National League record 19 and Ryan most definitely

1031
01:41:57,680 --> 01:42:00,920
has a shot at both tonight.

1032
01:42:00,920 --> 01:42:05,680
Ryan in his no hitter against Detroit striking out 17 the most ever struck out in a no hit

1033
01:42:05,680 --> 01:42:08,960
game in his no hitter.

1034
01:42:08,960 --> 01:42:19,240
The stretch now by Bill hands throw the first back in time is Billy Parker.

1035
01:42:19,240 --> 01:42:23,360
Hands at the belt and the throw the first base again on his hands and knees Parker this

1036
01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:31,800
time time is called as Parker gets back up time called by Bill Degen firing down at first

1037
01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:38,400
we have a four four tie Nolan Ryan has struck out three hundred and eighty one batters this

1038
01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:46,200
year 14 in the game he is one strikeout away from Sandy Copax is Mark the stretch and the

1039
01:42:46,200 --> 01:42:56,360
throw the first again back in on his hands and knees is Parker.

1040
01:42:56,360 --> 01:43:00,720
And just staring over there is Harmon Killebrewd his little house cleaning after Parker had

1041
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:05,200
died back in on the bag and Billy himself trying to get off some of the Anaheim Stadium real

1042
01:43:05,200 --> 01:43:15,560
estate from his double lift uniform.

1043
01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:22,000
The stretch by hand and again a throw to first this time Parker back in standing up getting

1044
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:28,880
a little impatient with Mr. Hands the pitch to Torborg swing and a message to slider nicely

1045
01:43:28,880 --> 01:43:32,600
thrown by Bill 0 and 1.

1046
01:43:32,600 --> 01:43:40,040
Nolan Ryan in his forty first start of the year attempting to break Copax's record Copax

1047
01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:46,240
established his mark after forty three starts the stretch and a one strike delivery swung

1048
01:43:46,240 --> 01:43:49,920
on the ground ball toward short Terrell has it he goes to second for one Caruso really

1049
01:43:49,920 --> 01:43:55,640
the first in time for the double play and now we go to the top half of the eighth in

1050
01:43:55,640 --> 01:44:02,200
what could be a most historical happening for all of baseball the deep he turned six

1051
01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:12,560
for three no runs a base hit no errors nobody left and after seven it's a four four tie

1052
01:44:12,560 --> 01:44:17,360
after seven a four four tie the angels for run six hits and two errors the twins for

1053
01:44:17,360 --> 01:44:21,200
runs seven hits and two errors will this be the inning.

1054
01:44:21,200 --> 01:44:25,760
Nolan Ryan one strikeout away from Copax's all time mark up three hundred and eighty

1055
01:44:25,760 --> 01:44:28,400
two two strikeouts away from standing alone.

1056
01:44:28,400 --> 01:44:32,320
Ken Burke will tell you the story as we go to the right day.

1057
01:44:32,320 --> 01:44:33,720
Eric Sonderholm steps up first.

1058
01:44:33,720 --> 01:44:37,200
He is the only man that Ryan has not struck out tonight.

1059
01:44:37,200 --> 01:44:41,000
He has walked grounded into a double play and fly to right field a young right handed

1060
01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:43,480
batter hits out of a closed stand.

1061
01:44:43,480 --> 01:44:45,760
Ryan and everyone in the ballpark know the story.

1062
01:44:45,760 --> 01:44:51,680
The pitch passball fouled out of play strike one the crowd as Ryan came out to pitch or

1063
01:44:51,680 --> 01:44:57,360
take his position on the mound to warm up gave him a standing ovation.

1064
01:44:57,360 --> 01:45:02,000
The scoreboard the big a scoreboard inoperative earlier in the game has been working since

1065
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:06,280
about the third inning the pitch in the dirt one and one.

1066
01:45:06,280 --> 01:45:12,280
And as Ryan has struck out each Minnesota batter 14 tonight the scoreboard has electronically

1067
01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:18,120
erased those strikeouts between Ryan and Copax fastball miss is a little low and Paul Borg

1068
01:45:18,120 --> 01:45:21,480
holds the ball right there.

1069
01:45:21,480 --> 01:45:26,920
Red clarity one of the few people in the ballpark not caught up in the spirit of things.

1070
01:45:26,920 --> 01:45:31,960
Two balls and a strike Sonderholm the hitter Ryan rocks.

1071
01:45:31,960 --> 01:45:39,800
Here's the pit fastball is fouled back to and to Ryan stands one pitch away from moving

1072
01:45:39,800 --> 01:45:44,920
up shoulder to shoulder with the ace left hander the Dodger Sandy Copax three hundred

1073
01:45:44,920 --> 01:45:48,800
eighty one and two third strikeout.

1074
01:45:48,800 --> 01:45:50,680
Sonderholm heaves a deep sigh.

1075
01:45:50,680 --> 01:45:54,560
He knows to where he stands perhaps in history.

1076
01:45:54,560 --> 01:45:55,560
Ryan has his sign.

1077
01:45:55,560 --> 01:46:01,680
He winds here's the pitch swung on in line foul down the right field line and out of

1078
01:46:01,680 --> 01:46:02,680
play.

1079
01:46:02,680 --> 01:46:08,200
He hit it on the nose a fastball.

1080
01:46:08,200 --> 01:46:12,600
If Ryan sets the record tonight nine thousand one hundred fans will see it.

1081
01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:13,960
That's the crowd this evening.

1082
01:46:13,960 --> 01:46:17,600
Ninety one hundred although it appears to be more than that tonight.

1083
01:46:17,600 --> 01:46:24,440
I think many folks did not figure on it happening this evening and we're waiting until Sunday.

1084
01:46:24,440 --> 01:46:27,680
Two balls two strikes on Sonderholm Ryan Ryan.

1085
01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:28,680
Here's the pitch.

1086
01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:29,680
Her ball is too high.

1087
01:46:29,680 --> 01:46:38,680
Ryan Foss at the front slope of the mound pitches at the glove.

1088
01:46:38,680 --> 01:46:43,680
Tucked at the bill of the cap the three to pitch fastball is too high.

1089
01:46:43,680 --> 01:46:44,680
Ball four.

1090
01:46:44,680 --> 01:46:48,960
Oh he has thrown a very high amount of pitches tonight.

1091
01:46:48,960 --> 01:46:50,840
Let's pause for station identification.

1092
01:46:50,840 --> 01:46:55,040
This is the Angels Radio Network.

1093
01:46:55,040 --> 01:46:56,040
It's us it's us.

1094
01:46:56,040 --> 01:47:02,480
KXTC Glendale Phoenix 92.3 FM stereo message from the Phoenix Alcohol Safety Action Project.

1095
01:47:02,480 --> 01:47:06,200
A bottle of beer an average glass of wine or a shot of liquor all have about the same

1096
01:47:06,200 --> 01:47:13,000
alcohol content.

1097
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:17,080
First pitch to Mike Adams is right up over the top of the helmet all the way to the screen

1098
01:47:17,080 --> 01:47:22,920
and Adams just laid in the dirt frozen for a moment as if to say did it hit me.

1099
01:47:22,920 --> 01:47:28,280
He really had to get out of the way in a hurry a fastball up and in one ball no strikes and

1100
01:47:28,280 --> 01:47:31,960
on the wild pitch Sonderholm moves into scoring position.

1101
01:47:31,960 --> 01:47:37,880
The game score and we apologize if we have lost that along the way is 4 4 each team scored

1102
01:47:37,880 --> 01:47:39,520
three times in the first.

1103
01:47:39,520 --> 01:47:43,400
The Angels took the lead in the fourth and Minnesota tied it on an unearned run in the

1104
01:47:43,400 --> 01:47:44,400
sixth.

1105
01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:49,400
And now Sonderholm with a walk in a wild pitch stands at second base and the Angel infield

1106
01:47:49,400 --> 01:47:52,840
looking for the sacrifice one ball account on Mike Adams.

1107
01:47:52,840 --> 01:47:56,400
Here's the pitch he's swinging away and grounds at the second up with it is Parker no play

1108
01:47:56,400 --> 01:48:05,480
at 30 flips the mccraw first for the out and on the play moving to third is Sonderholm.

1109
01:48:05,480 --> 01:48:08,080
Jerry Terrell he has singled in a run.

1110
01:48:08,080 --> 01:48:11,080
In fact he tied the game with a base hit the right field in the sixth inning.

1111
01:48:11,080 --> 01:48:14,400
He is grounded out and also took a third strike.

1112
01:48:14,400 --> 01:48:18,640
Tallborg goes out to talk with Ryan and we remind you that Angels baseball is brought

1113
01:48:18,640 --> 01:48:24,040
to you by Continental Airlines the people who give you a flight to remember on Continental

1114
01:48:24,040 --> 01:48:26,540
you get a personal experience worth sharing.

1115
01:48:26,540 --> 01:48:28,040
It happens every day.

1116
01:48:28,040 --> 01:48:31,040
The next chance you get with Continental why don't you fly with them.

1117
01:48:31,040 --> 01:48:36,440
They're the proud bird with a golden tail.

1118
01:48:36,440 --> 01:48:41,160
The possibility of a squeeze in this spot the angel infield draws in and Ralph Rowe

1119
01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:45,760
the third base coach goes through a long series of signs for Terrell.

1120
01:48:45,760 --> 01:48:51,840
A good bunder Ryan works from the stretch the pitch ground ball off the glove of Ryan

1121
01:48:51,840 --> 01:48:54,840
here comes her under the plate the throw by Parker.

1122
01:48:54,840 --> 01:49:06,080
He is out of the infield playing and the ball seemed to take the glove of Ryan as it skipped

1123
01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:10,640
out to Parker and trying to score with Satterholm and he was out by a plenty.

1124
01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:15,440
In fact instead of sliding Satterholm tried to hurdle his way over Tallborg and Tallborg

1125
01:49:15,440 --> 01:49:19,240
nicked him with a glove tag as he leaped by.

1126
01:49:19,240 --> 01:49:23,360
Safe on the field his choice is Jerry Terrell two outs in the eighth inning and now time

1127
01:49:23,360 --> 01:49:25,480
running out in this game for Nolan Ryan.

1128
01:49:25,480 --> 01:49:30,960
He has four outs left and he needs to strikeouts to set the record.

1129
01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:36,000
Steve Bry has struck out once he swings and misses at a curve ball.

1130
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:42,440
He also has single twice and scored a run.

1131
01:49:42,440 --> 01:49:48,080
Terrell a threat to steal at first base he has good speed.

1132
01:49:48,080 --> 01:49:52,040
One strike the count on right handed hitting Steve Bry and Nolan Ryan sets kicks there

1133
01:49:52,040 --> 01:49:53,720
goes the runner the pitcher swung on a miss.

1134
01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:56,760
Tallborg throw to second base is not in time.

1135
01:49:56,760 --> 01:50:08,920
Diving in head first for the field was Terrell two strikes on Bry and the crowd starting

1136
01:50:08,920 --> 01:50:16,200
to build and it's enthusiasm some fans already standing on their feet and there are very

1137
01:50:16,200 --> 01:50:20,360
few as you look at the crowd in the lower deck behind the angel dugout they're up on

1138
01:50:20,360 --> 01:50:24,280
the edge of the seat same in the mezzanine off to the right.

1139
01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:29,480
They start applauding they want one more strike that would tie Colfax Ryan straight and here's

1140
01:50:29,480 --> 01:50:34,480
the pitch he's got it.

1141
01:50:34,480 --> 01:50:58,360
And now they're all standing all on Ryan has got three hundred eighty two men this

1142
01:50:58,360 --> 01:50:59,360
year.

1143
01:50:59,360 --> 01:51:17,000
The crowd has finally quieted they stood for another 30 seconds cheering Ryan almost asking

1144
01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:21,520
if he wouldn't come out and give them a wave but he'll wait for the record for that.

1145
01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:28,000
Three hundred eighty two strikeouts Ryan whose most his highest strikeout performance a single

1146
01:51:28,000 --> 01:51:33,800
game is 17 he did it last September against the twins and in his no hit game on July 15th

1147
01:51:33,800 --> 01:51:37,520
at Detroit has 15 strikeouts tonight.

1148
01:51:37,520 --> 01:51:42,160
He has tied Colfax at three eighty two and looking ahead to the ninth inning he will

1149
01:51:42,160 --> 01:51:45,320
face and it should be this way.

1150
01:51:45,320 --> 01:51:53,200
Rod Carew Tony Oliva and Harmon Killebrew the three biggest names in the Minnesota lineup

1151
01:51:53,200 --> 01:51:58,720
stand in the way of Ryan and a record all for himself tonight.

1152
01:51:58,720 --> 01:52:03,560
Meanwhile new relief pitcher comes in Campbell goes to work for Minnesota.

1153
01:52:03,560 --> 01:52:08,520
He's done a good job and Frank Willis he's very high on this young man Bill Campbell

1154
01:52:08,520 --> 01:52:14,400
hands with five great innings in relief for four time Mickey Rivers now trying to get

1155
01:52:14,400 --> 01:52:21,000
the angels a run and Ryan his seventh straight victory Rivers one for three the pitch high

1156
01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:28,160
ball one.

1157
01:52:28,160 --> 01:52:36,000
A man from Alvin Texas just 26 years old continues to get out the eraser little number behind

1158
01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:40,000
short that's a tough play for Carol going out he reaches can't get it.

1159
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:44,440
Rivers around first base and holds the angels have the speedy leadoff man on in the eighth

1160
01:52:44,440 --> 01:52:50,640
inning a soft fly ball off the head of the bat and Rivers has two more hits.

1161
01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:55,680
He's hit safely in 11 straight games and it's just been a terror since coming to the big

1162
01:52:55,680 --> 01:53:00,560
leagues from Salt Lake City that's 42 hits this month.

1163
01:53:00,560 --> 01:53:03,520
Dave Chalk is two for three tonight he scored a couple of runs.

1164
01:53:03,520 --> 01:53:08,320
We'll see if the angels go to the sacrifice the twins infield aligns itself looking for

1165
01:53:08,320 --> 01:53:09,320
the bunt.

1166
01:53:09,320 --> 01:53:14,600
Siderholm in on the grass at third Killebrew holds on Rivers at first base chalk right handed

1167
01:53:14,600 --> 01:53:17,800
batter stands erect up on the handle.

1168
01:53:17,800 --> 01:53:24,480
Made a good pitch but Rivers able to cue it out over short for the hit he sets chalk squares

1169
01:53:24,480 --> 01:53:25,480
bunted in the air.

1170
01:53:25,480 --> 01:53:28,040
Killebrew with an easy catch for the out.

1171
01:53:28,040 --> 01:53:32,240
So the angels have to go back to school on the sacrifice fun.

1172
01:53:32,240 --> 01:53:35,640
They have been consistently poor in that department all season.

1173
01:53:35,640 --> 01:53:47,120
The Rivers is still at first and Frank Robinson is the batter Robinson not in his 96th run

1174
01:53:47,120 --> 01:53:50,240
of the season with a single to center field in the first inning.

1175
01:53:50,240 --> 01:53:53,000
He has walked and grounded out one for two.

1176
01:53:53,000 --> 01:54:01,440
Ryan with that RBI has 26 RBI this month more than any angels ever been able to deliver

1177
01:54:01,440 --> 01:54:06,720
in September and that's also the most in any month by an angel tying Bob Oliver and Leon

1178
01:54:06,720 --> 01:54:13,680
Wagner Campbell against Robinson eight inning a four four tie throw to first and Rivers

1179
01:54:13,680 --> 01:54:14,680
is back.

1180
01:54:14,680 --> 01:54:23,560
The twins infield supporting Bill Hands with three double plays while he was in there.

1181
01:54:23,560 --> 01:54:25,800
Hands allowed only two hits in the five innings.

1182
01:54:25,800 --> 01:54:26,800
Good pitching.

1183
01:54:26,800 --> 01:54:31,120
Here's the pitch breaking ball down too low.

1184
01:54:31,120 --> 01:54:43,040
Campbell gives that hitter a lot of motion.

1185
01:54:43,040 --> 01:54:45,440
That bat on the end.

1186
01:54:45,440 --> 01:54:46,440
Here's the pitch inside.

1187
01:54:46,440 --> 01:54:50,840
It gets away from middle all that rolls out in front of him and River and Rivers unable

1188
01:54:50,840 --> 01:54:57,280
to advance two balls and no strikes and all the time the big a message board locked in

1189
01:54:57,280 --> 01:55:03,960
position the information one season strikeout leaders Ryan and Kofax three eighty two and

1190
01:55:03,960 --> 01:55:08,440
the years were in the bottom of the eighth inning.

1191
01:55:08,440 --> 01:55:18,080
The game is tied and so are Kofax and Ryan fastball for a strike two and one.

1192
01:55:18,080 --> 01:55:25,560
Bill Campbell hard throwing right hander Rivers at first base one out a four four tie in the

1193
01:55:25,560 --> 01:55:27,560
bottom of the eighth inning.

1194
01:55:27,560 --> 01:55:34,760
Campbell sets the two on pitch curve ball is too high three and one the twins tonight

1195
01:55:34,760 --> 01:55:42,560
must feel like a bridegroom all the attention on the person in white and tonight it's Nolan

1196
01:55:42,560 --> 01:55:43,560
Ryan.

1197
01:55:43,560 --> 01:55:49,800
He's the bride and the twins just are part of the whole exercise.

1198
01:55:49,800 --> 01:55:53,160
Nine thousand one hundred fans here and cheering this evening.

1199
01:55:53,160 --> 01:55:56,000
They're quiet now but they'll be erupting soon.

1200
01:55:56,000 --> 01:56:00,960
Three one pitch Rivers goes check swing and on the second goes Rivers with a steal as

1201
01:56:00,960 --> 01:56:06,680
Mitterwald does not throw the ball the pitch is called a strike.

1202
01:56:06,680 --> 01:56:10,600
Mitterwald perhaps thought it was ball four and that's why he didn't throw River is coasting

1203
01:56:10,600 --> 01:56:15,480
to second with a steal his eighth since being recalled.

1204
01:56:15,480 --> 01:56:18,720
He has done all the little things you want from a leadoff man.

1205
01:56:18,720 --> 01:56:20,720
So it's a full count.

1206
01:56:20,720 --> 01:56:25,720
Rivers in scoring position with one out bottom of the eighth inning and Robinson and McCraw

1207
01:56:25,720 --> 01:56:30,160
with a chance to get the angels on top.

1208
01:56:30,160 --> 01:56:34,720
Campbell sets here's the pitch sidearm curve is way outside ball four.

1209
01:56:34,720 --> 01:56:39,440
So at first base open Robinson wasn't going to get anything too good to hit.

1210
01:56:39,440 --> 01:56:47,960
That is the 80th time this year Robinson is walk Tom McCraw walked an RBI single and he

1211
01:56:47,960 --> 01:56:50,680
fouled out the left.

1212
01:56:50,680 --> 01:56:57,960
Campbell was 10 and five at Tacoma in the Pacific Coast League.

1213
01:56:57,960 --> 01:57:03,560
And Quillis a see his head as he watches the action from the near end of the Minnesota

1214
01:57:03,560 --> 01:57:09,920
dugout Bobby Winkle the same almost the identical position in the angel home the pitch a strike

1215
01:57:09,920 --> 01:57:17,560
at a period he changed or that might have been a forkball came up there a floating the

1216
01:57:17,560 --> 01:57:23,320
totals on the board identical ball run seven hits two errors each side the angels in the

1217
01:57:23,320 --> 01:57:25,840
bottom of the eighth trying to get the lead for Nolan Ryan.

1218
01:57:25,840 --> 01:57:30,760
Here's the pitch curve ball we've done and missed way out in front of a slow curve on

1219
01:57:30,760 --> 01:57:39,600
deck they depends on the marked men or marked man as the case may be in the top of the ninth

1220
01:57:39,600 --> 01:57:50,280
will it be Karoo Oliva or Killebrew or will it be any of them or all two strikes on McCraw

1221
01:57:50,280 --> 01:57:58,600
runners lead away and here's the pitch fastball inside one and two just toss in this aside

1222
01:57:58,600 --> 01:58:04,040
if Ryan should strike out all three of them in the ninth inning he not only would set

1223
01:58:04,040 --> 01:58:09,640
the major league all time single season record he would tie the American League single game

1224
01:58:09,640 --> 01:58:17,440
record three more would give me 18 Bob Feller's record one and two to count McCraw's pitch

1225
01:58:17,440 --> 01:58:23,120
chop foul at the plate another change came up and hit Tom on the backside up around the

1226
01:58:23,120 --> 01:58:34,640
numbers 22.

1227
01:58:34,640 --> 01:58:39,240
Campbell fixes the ball in his glove and pulls it out sets himself on the rubber a ball and

1228
01:58:39,240 --> 01:58:42,520
two strikes on McCraw.

1229
01:58:42,520 --> 01:58:46,480
Rivers from second Robinson leads away from first the pitch swing and a miss a straight

1230
01:58:46,480 --> 01:58:48,920
change and McCraw out in front.

1231
01:58:48,920 --> 01:58:53,760
So he kept Tom off balance in that entire sequence with off speed pitches.

1232
01:58:53,760 --> 01:58:58,320
First strike out for Campbell and it boils down to they depends on with two outs and

1233
01:58:58,320 --> 01:59:08,480
two on data is over to but he not getting a run with a sacrifice line in the first inning

1234
01:59:08,480 --> 01:59:14,040
Rivers and Robinson ready to go and Benson trying to get that base hit to give the angels

1235
01:59:14,040 --> 01:59:17,120
the lead.

1236
01:59:17,120 --> 01:59:19,360
Campbell stares down the chute.

1237
01:59:19,360 --> 01:59:25,720
Mitterwald with a sign and the pit high with a fastball.

1238
01:59:25,720 --> 01:59:31,000
Campbell throws hard and has a very big motion he really throws arms and legs at you when

1239
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:39,520
he delivers the ball.

1240
01:59:39,520 --> 01:59:44,440
Campbell sets the pitch change is in there a curveball and he can get that off speed

1241
01:59:44,440 --> 01:59:47,680
pitch over one and one.

1242
01:59:47,680 --> 01:59:51,000
This is only his third year pro ball.

1243
01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:57,960
1971 he signed and went to Wisconsin Rapids where he was five and three last year at Charlotte

1244
01:59:57,960 --> 02:00:03,080
was 13 and 10 and then to come of this year where he won 10 and lost five.

1245
02:00:03,080 --> 02:00:04,640
The one one pitch.

1246
02:00:04,640 --> 02:00:08,000
Benson swings and hits it high in the air at a shallow right.

1247
02:00:08,000 --> 02:00:12,000
Mitterwald starts back but now he comes in for it makes the catch and we go to the ninth

1248
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:19,720
inning no runs one hit no errors two men left the score after eight four four tie and Nolan

1249
02:00:19,720 --> 02:00:22,800
Ryan gets a hand as he jogs out to the mound.

1250
02:00:22,800 --> 02:00:28,320
We'll have the ninth inning in just a moment.

1251
02:00:28,320 --> 02:00:35,440
This is the ninth inning the twenty seventh of September a date that Nolan and his lovely

1252
02:00:35,440 --> 02:00:40,320
wife Ruth will perhaps long remember they've got to even through eight innings because

1253
02:00:40,320 --> 02:00:42,720
Nolan Ryan has 15 strikeouts tonight.

1254
02:00:42,720 --> 02:00:47,240
He has tied Sandy Kofax is all time single season major league strikeout record Rod

1255
02:00:47,240 --> 02:00:48,240
Carew up.

1256
02:00:48,240 --> 02:00:50,400
He takes it low ball one ninth inning.

1257
02:00:50,400 --> 02:00:53,880
Carew Oliva and Killebrew the best of the twins to face Ryan.

1258
02:00:53,880 --> 02:01:01,320
He needs one to erase Kofax his name the pitch curveball in there one ball and one strike.

1259
02:01:01,320 --> 02:01:07,560
Oh there's so many people I know that field close to Nolan Ryan now not just the fans

1260
02:01:07,560 --> 02:01:10,440
but the people who have been directly involved in his success.

1261
02:01:10,440 --> 02:01:16,040
And of course you start with his wife Ruth the 1 1 pitch fastball lined out of play.

1262
02:01:16,040 --> 02:01:20,960
It's one and two to Carew Carew has struck out the last three times up.

1263
02:01:20,960 --> 02:01:23,120
Wouldn't that be a nice way to get the record.

1264
02:01:23,120 --> 02:01:25,160
The major league.

1265
02:01:25,160 --> 02:01:27,560
Well one of the two top hitters there are two all alone.

1266
02:01:27,560 --> 02:01:32,960
The top hitter in the American League Rod Carew against Nolan Ryan it boils down to

1267
02:01:32,960 --> 02:01:42,760
that 382 strikeouts for Ryan the one to pitch outside and the fans standing ease back down

1268
02:01:42,760 --> 02:01:45,440
in their seats with a groan.

1269
02:01:45,440 --> 02:01:49,520
Ryan takes a slow walk to the back of the mound throws that rosin bag away from the

1270
02:01:49,520 --> 02:01:54,600
dugout a man who has been so helpful to Ryan Freddie Frederico the trainer between the

1271
02:01:54,600 --> 02:01:59,240
heat and the ice and the rubdown he has kept Ryan ready all season.

1272
02:01:59,240 --> 02:02:01,120
Nolan hugs at that glove.

1273
02:02:01,120 --> 02:02:07,400
He's ready to pitch that to delivery fastball fouled out of play way up into the third day

1274
02:02:07,400 --> 02:02:09,160
into the auxiliary press box.

1275
02:02:09,160 --> 02:02:13,960
In fact it remains to and to the career and Ryan with another stroll to the back slope

1276
02:02:13,960 --> 02:02:14,960
of the mound.

1277
02:02:14,960 --> 02:02:20,600
And there's Tom Morgan is pitching coach who has watched his every move from day to day

1278
02:02:20,600 --> 02:02:22,080
since way back in March.

1279
02:02:22,080 --> 02:02:27,280
That's a two pitch curveball five ball on the infield Parker waves everyone away.

1280
02:02:27,280 --> 02:02:28,640
It won't be Karrou.

1281
02:02:28,640 --> 02:02:31,240
Parker's got the out.

1282
02:02:31,240 --> 02:02:33,360
There are two left.

1283
02:02:33,360 --> 02:02:37,000
Tony Oliva two singles in three events.

1284
02:02:37,000 --> 02:02:39,480
He has walked and he has struck out.

1285
02:02:39,480 --> 02:02:45,720
Oliva a two time batting champion having a big season on bad legs as the designated

1286
02:02:45,720 --> 02:02:50,040
hitter for the twins hitting two ninety three as he steps up there at the moment.

1287
02:02:50,040 --> 02:02:55,800
He has 16 home runs and he leads the twins with 92 runs batted in.

1288
02:02:55,800 --> 02:03:04,720
Tony Oh Ryan has thrown we would guess one hundred and fifty pitches tonight.

1289
02:03:04,720 --> 02:03:12,520
He rocks back and here it comes fastball high ball on Oliva has sailed two line drives right

1290
02:03:12,520 --> 02:03:16,120
past the year of Ryan tonight for singles to center field.

1291
02:03:16,120 --> 02:03:21,560
Kellebrew on deck the number five home run hitter all time has struck out the last two

1292
02:03:21,560 --> 02:03:25,800
times up for four time.

1293
02:03:25,800 --> 02:03:31,560
Oliva out of the batter's box now back in the pitch curveball fouled at the plate.

1294
02:03:31,560 --> 02:03:35,440
He ran that breaking pitch right in on the fist of Oliva and he jammed it down off his

1295
02:03:35,440 --> 02:03:42,560
front toe that right foot a ball and a strike.

1296
02:03:42,560 --> 02:03:48,920
And someday Roberts Ryan will be two years old in November will understand what all those

1297
02:03:48,920 --> 02:03:57,200
baseballs mean and the Ryan then back in Alvin Texas Ryan not just the one one pitch fastball

1298
02:03:57,200 --> 02:04:03,400
foul back and again it boils down to one pitch one ball two strikes.

1299
02:04:03,400 --> 02:04:05,120
Ryan needs one more strike.

1300
02:04:05,120 --> 02:04:10,000
Oh knowing the pride of this Texan how he would like to get the strike out against the

1301
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:16,640
caliber of header of a Tony Oliva and Oliva with his great prize up there falling away

1302
02:04:16,640 --> 02:04:17,760
at the batter's box.

1303
02:04:17,760 --> 02:04:21,040
He does not want to be number three hundred and eighty three.

1304
02:04:21,040 --> 02:04:26,120
Ryan and turn animal like pause at the front of the pitching mound and rocks back.

1305
02:04:26,120 --> 02:04:32,080
Here it comes fastball fouled out of play and Oliva hanging tough hit that one back

1306
02:04:32,080 --> 02:04:36,720
on a line into the terrace boxes in the lower deck talking about Rod Carew is going to win

1307
02:04:36,720 --> 02:04:41,920
his third batting title here as a man right now standing there that has three silver bats

1308
02:04:41,920 --> 02:04:43,760
in his den.

1309
02:04:43,760 --> 02:04:49,440
Oh Lava out of the batter's box now back in that widespread characteristic stance.

1310
02:04:49,440 --> 02:04:55,320
Ryan with all those gestures talking to the camp he leans back one to pitch to Oliva popped

1311
02:04:55,320 --> 02:04:56,320
up.

1312
02:04:56,320 --> 02:04:58,440
It'll be Parker again or will it be Pinson.

1313
02:04:58,440 --> 02:05:02,360
It is the right fielder Pinson who comes into shallow right field to make the catch and

1314
02:05:02,360 --> 02:05:11,680
Oliva has the monkey off his back here comes Harmon Killebrew two outs in the ninth inning.

1315
02:05:11,680 --> 02:05:19,800
Nolan Ryan has struck out 15 to tie Sandy Goff back to 382.

1316
02:05:19,800 --> 02:05:23,920
Killebrew doubled in two in the first walked in the third he struck out swinging in the

1317
02:05:23,920 --> 02:05:27,480
fifth and again in the seventh power against power.

1318
02:05:27,480 --> 02:05:35,640
Ryan rocks the pitch fastball high and away ball one that arm has to be tired surely doing

1319
02:05:35,640 --> 02:05:43,920
a lot of this on adrenaline the pitch curve ball is in there one and one.

1320
02:05:43,920 --> 02:05:47,920
Carew has popped up Oliva with a pop fly to right.

1321
02:05:47,920 --> 02:05:50,080
The game score is four to four.

1322
02:05:50,080 --> 02:05:54,480
The strikeout score is three eighty two to three eighty two.

1323
02:05:54,480 --> 02:06:02,840
Ryan and Kofax boils down to the final series in September and Ryan who has set American

1324
02:06:02,840 --> 02:06:07,760
League records eight straight consecutive batters struck out last year the American

1325
02:06:07,760 --> 02:06:13,040
League strikeout champion two straight years now has a 1 1 pitch on Killebrew on its way

1326
02:06:13,040 --> 02:06:20,160
outside a curve and tallboard calls time and goes out to chat with his pitcher.

1327
02:06:20,160 --> 02:06:23,820
Ryan has to be exhausted from the opening pitch tonight.

1328
02:06:23,820 --> 02:06:30,120
You could see that Nolan was throwing everything all of his body into every delivery and with

1329
02:06:30,120 --> 02:06:36,960
the 15 strikeouts and six walks plus seven hits he has worked a lot.

1330
02:06:36,960 --> 02:06:43,520
He's thrown many a pitch as we said he was nearly 70 through the first three innings.

1331
02:06:43,520 --> 02:06:49,280
Ryan perched calling upon some reserve from somewhere takes another walk a nervous walk

1332
02:06:49,280 --> 02:06:50,720
and now back up on top.

1333
02:06:50,720 --> 02:06:58,000
Two and one to Killebrew the wind the pitch curve is low three and one over the plate

1334
02:06:58,000 --> 02:07:02,480
but downstairs and Ryan wants another ball on deck.

1335
02:07:02,480 --> 02:07:09,920
Jim Holt Holt struck out his first two times but then popped up and single ninth inning

1336
02:07:09,920 --> 02:07:14,000
two outs time called Freddie Frederico goes out to the mound.

1337
02:07:14,000 --> 02:07:17,160
It could be that Ryan has developed a blister.

1338
02:07:17,160 --> 02:07:27,280
We'll see Frederico asking Nolan if he's OK and it could be between innings.

1339
02:07:27,280 --> 02:07:32,320
Nolan said that his shoulder was stiffening that he did not feel right and the Angels

1340
02:07:32,320 --> 02:07:38,960
no matter how important that record may be tonight or this season they would not want

1341
02:07:38,960 --> 02:07:43,440
to risk the talent of this fine right hander just to get a record.

1342
02:07:43,440 --> 02:07:50,200
Frederico leaves that could have been just to give Ryan extra breather.

1343
02:07:50,200 --> 02:07:55,960
Nevertheless Frederico is back in the dugout Ryan on the rubber three balls and a strike.

1344
02:07:55,960 --> 02:07:58,840
Here's the pitch fastball lined up the middle for a base hit.

1345
02:07:58,840 --> 02:08:06,100
So Killebrew single sharply on a 3 1 fastball and on a 4 4 tie the twins have the go ahead

1346
02:08:06,100 --> 02:08:10,040
score at first base and Jim Holt is the better.

1347
02:08:10,040 --> 02:08:15,680
You could see Ryan shoulders just sink when that one was hit by him.

1348
02:08:15,680 --> 02:08:22,000
He is acting like a man who knows he doesn't have much left although the bullpen finds

1349
02:08:22,000 --> 02:08:25,960
no one throwing for the Angels.

1350
02:08:25,960 --> 02:08:31,120
Rich Reese veteran first baseman who has gone from Minnesota to Detroit now back to the

1351
02:08:31,120 --> 02:08:37,360
twins will pinch run for Harmon Killebrew and if the game should go extra innings then

1352
02:08:37,360 --> 02:08:42,000
Reese would stay to play first base.

1353
02:08:42,000 --> 02:08:48,400
Jim Holt has struck out twice he is 1 for 4 in the game and now the bullpen bell is

1354
02:08:48,400 --> 02:08:54,320
ringing for the Angels and a left hander begins to throw Steve Barber the veteran Holt the

1355
02:08:54,320 --> 02:09:01,840
batter the pitch by Ryan low and inside ball one and Ryan's shrugging the shoulder as that

1356
02:09:01,840 --> 02:09:03,000
one got away from him.

1357
02:09:03,000 --> 02:09:05,920
Dave Self joins Barber in the bullpen.

1358
02:09:05,920 --> 02:09:13,920
Ryan checks raised the pitch fastball hit foul off to the left and the scramble on for that

1359
02:09:13,920 --> 02:09:19,640
souvenir one ball one strike on Jim Holt.

1360
02:09:19,640 --> 02:09:27,320
It has been an incredible evening in a fantastic year 15 strikeouts tonight one one pitch line

1361
02:09:27,320 --> 02:09:32,760
drive left field charging the ball is Barry he's got it and Ryan fails to get the strikeout

1362
02:09:32,760 --> 02:09:39,280
in the ninth inning but does get the twins no runs one hit and one left to the bottom

1363
02:09:39,280 --> 02:09:43,520
of the ninth inning of four four times.

1364
02:09:43,520 --> 02:09:48,760
Steve Barber and Dave Dave sells continue to throw out in the bullpen for the Angels and

1365
02:09:48,760 --> 02:09:53,960
it could be if the Angels do not score in the bottom of the ninth inning Nolan Ryan

1366
02:09:53,960 --> 02:09:56,600
is through for the night.

1367
02:09:56,600 --> 02:10:01,560
He has to be at a point where he just doesn't have too much gas left.

1368
02:10:01,560 --> 02:10:05,880
The Angels will try to get him a run in the bottom of the ninth inning and if they do

1369
02:10:05,880 --> 02:10:13,360
it would be Ryan's seventh consecutive win just tacking another win onto an angel record.

1370
02:10:13,360 --> 02:10:19,640
Barry Gallagher and Parker to face Campbell a right hander Bill Campbell he winds and

1371
02:10:19,640 --> 02:10:23,040
the pitch fastball in the outside corner for a strike.

1372
02:10:23,040 --> 02:10:28,840
I like what you see in this young right hander he is only 25 years old he's from Michigan

1373
02:10:28,840 --> 02:10:33,720
Highland Park Michigan a suburb of Detroit 6 3 and 185 but he lives in San Diego curveball

1374
02:10:33,720 --> 02:10:38,120
hangs inside one and one.

1375
02:10:38,120 --> 02:10:42,480
He was the strikeout king in the Southern League last year.

1376
02:10:42,480 --> 02:10:49,560
And a great era 2.4 2.

1377
02:10:49,560 --> 02:11:00,040
The 1 1 delivery from the side is grounded foul by Barry 1 and 2.

1378
02:11:00,040 --> 02:11:03,680
All is quiet now at the big a 9100 with us.

1379
02:11:03,680 --> 02:11:08,720
They have been able to cheer Nolan Ryan's 15th strikeout which tied Sandy Colfax's all

1380
02:11:08,720 --> 02:11:12,840
time single season record at 382.

1381
02:11:12,840 --> 02:11:15,280
We're in the bottom of the ninth for a piece.

1382
02:11:15,280 --> 02:11:18,840
The pitch high 2 and 2.

1383
02:11:18,840 --> 02:11:22,360
Campbell has a great assortment of pitches and pitching positions.

1384
02:11:22,360 --> 02:11:25,760
He comes over the top three quarters and sidearm.

1385
02:11:25,760 --> 02:11:29,040
He changes off both the fastball and the curve.

1386
02:11:29,040 --> 02:11:36,440
To two pitch ground ball by the mound off a thrown bat charging his trail he can't make

1387
02:11:36,440 --> 02:11:41,600
the play and Barry has a base hit all rolled out into the grass and shallow center field

1388
02:11:41,600 --> 02:11:43,240
and crew goes out to get it.

1389
02:11:43,240 --> 02:11:46,680
The angels have the winning run on in the bottom of the ninth inning and we're going

1390
02:11:46,680 --> 02:11:49,240
to pause right here for station identification.

1391
02:11:49,240 --> 02:12:04,760
This is the angels radio network.

1392
02:12:04,760 --> 02:12:06,200
Al Gallagher is the batter.

1393
02:12:06,200 --> 02:12:09,240
Rich Reese comes over to talk with the young pitcher Bill Campbell.

1394
02:12:09,240 --> 02:12:13,960
Barry the base runner at first carrying the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning.

1395
02:12:13,960 --> 02:12:19,640
If the angels can score it Nolan Ryan can celebrate his 21st win of the year.

1396
02:12:19,640 --> 02:12:21,240
Gallagher way up on the handle.

1397
02:12:21,240 --> 02:12:25,320
The situation calls for the sacrifice and the Minnesota twins are playing it that way.

1398
02:12:25,320 --> 02:12:27,160
Third baseman Satterholm weighing on the grass.

1399
02:12:27,160 --> 02:12:31,400
They charge as Gallagher squares, bunts and misses the ball.

1400
02:12:31,400 --> 02:12:33,800
Strike one.

1401
02:12:33,800 --> 02:12:39,720
Middle wall goes out to talk with Campbell.

1402
02:12:39,720 --> 02:12:45,720
As soon as the pitch is made is charging hard from first Peru breaking toward first to cover

1403
02:12:45,720 --> 02:12:50,760
shortstop Terrell has second base and of course Satterholm also charging in on Gallagher hoping

1404
02:12:50,760 --> 02:12:56,000
to get the ball if it's funded hard and make the play at second base.

1405
02:12:56,000 --> 02:13:00,080
The outfield very shallow.

1406
02:13:00,080 --> 02:13:02,200
Gallagher squares.

1407
02:13:02,200 --> 02:13:04,600
He's already given himself up.

1408
02:13:04,600 --> 02:13:16,680
Campbell's pitch, but it foul two strikes on Gallagher.

1409
02:13:16,680 --> 02:13:22,040
Well he certainly lived up to the name of the thing he's trying to do sacrifice.

1410
02:13:22,040 --> 02:13:27,360
He had given himself up long before Campbell delivered the ball but went after a high fastball

1411
02:13:27,360 --> 02:13:32,120
and bonded it foul two strikes the cat will see if he's still up there to sacrifice.

1412
02:13:32,120 --> 02:13:40,600
The fans think so and he swears outside one and two.

1413
02:13:40,600 --> 02:13:45,080
Can bury with an infield hit as he bounded one over the mound at behind second base to

1414
02:13:45,080 --> 02:13:51,360
start this ninth inning and again that scoreboard is locked even four runs eight hits two errors

1415
02:13:51,360 --> 02:13:53,760
for each side.

1416
02:13:53,760 --> 02:13:57,060
Billy Parker kneels in the on deck circle.

1417
02:13:57,060 --> 02:14:00,360
One into the count on Gallagher dirty Al way up on the handle.

1418
02:14:00,360 --> 02:14:01,360
Here's the pitch.

1419
02:14:01,360 --> 02:14:04,040
He's got a good response and a good bunch of first but Reese has a play at second get

1420
02:14:04,040 --> 02:14:09,920
one out there back to first base a double play.

1421
02:14:09,920 --> 02:14:17,360
It's got to be terribly frustrating to Bobby Winkle.

1422
02:14:17,360 --> 02:14:22,440
The angels just cannot buy a sacrifice if you know of any around I'm sure the price

1423
02:14:22,440 --> 02:14:24,840
would would not be too high for Winkle.

1424
02:14:24,840 --> 02:14:26,400
He likes like to have fun.

1425
02:14:26,400 --> 02:14:30,320
One man who can bunt the bull.

1426
02:14:30,320 --> 02:14:34,800
He got a bunt but for two outs and here's Billy Parker with two gone.

1427
02:14:34,800 --> 02:14:37,160
That's the fourth double play the angels have hit into tonight.

1428
02:14:37,160 --> 02:14:45,360
It goes three six four the pitch to Parker is low a breaking ball.

1429
02:14:45,360 --> 02:14:53,440
Jeff Torborg on deck the angel bullpen continues to throw some drama involved here as to whether

1430
02:14:53,440 --> 02:14:55,840
Ryan will continue in the 10th inning.

1431
02:14:55,840 --> 02:15:05,800
It's probably up to Nolan himself high and inside to a note of Parker.

1432
02:15:05,800 --> 02:15:17,080
Four double plays that certainly supported the twins pitching tonight to know on Parker.

1433
02:15:17,080 --> 02:15:22,720
Here's the pitch right down the middle to and one.

1434
02:15:22,720 --> 02:15:26,920
Some of the fans of course cheering for this game to go extra innings because understandably

1435
02:15:26,920 --> 02:15:30,760
they're here and they would like to see Ryan set the strikeout record tonight but they

1436
02:15:30,760 --> 02:15:43,400
may not see Ryan in the 10th curve ball is waved at and foul to and to two balls two

1437
02:15:43,400 --> 02:15:46,040
strikes to Parker.

1438
02:15:46,040 --> 02:15:51,840
If we go to the 10th inning George Mitterwald Eric Soderholm and Mike Adams are scheduled

1439
02:15:51,840 --> 02:16:00,520
for Minnesota to and to Parker the batter.

1440
02:16:00,520 --> 02:16:08,000
Young Bill Campbell on the mound right hander has his sign and here's the pitch fly ball

1441
02:16:08,000 --> 02:16:12,720
into right center field over goes Holt the right fielder and the center fielder Brian

1442
02:16:12,720 --> 02:16:15,520
comes over to make the catch in front of him.

1443
02:16:15,520 --> 02:16:19,280
We go to extra innings and let's say we're going to wait to see first if Nolan Ryan is

1444
02:16:19,280 --> 02:16:20,280
going to come out of that dugout.

1445
02:16:20,280 --> 02:16:26,880
As yet he has not made an appearance but that could be because Paul Borgat is catching gear

1446
02:16:26,880 --> 02:16:29,880
off and was in the on deck circle.

1447
02:16:29,880 --> 02:16:33,920
It's a 4 4 tie and here he comes.

1448
02:16:33,920 --> 02:16:38,920
Ryan will pitch the 10th inning.

1449
02:16:38,920 --> 02:16:54,240
After nine innings tonight the totals for the twins and the angels four runs eight hits

1450
02:16:54,240 --> 02:16:55,240
two errors.

1451
02:16:55,240 --> 02:17:01,880
Nolan Ryan has struck out 15 he is tied with Kovacs at 382 needs one more to set a new

1452
02:17:01,880 --> 02:17:06,480
major league record and he'll get the chance in the 10th inning as we turn it back to Dave

1453
02:17:06,480 --> 02:17:14,960
Nehau thank you Dick I have been lucky enough to be on the air for two of Nolan Ryan's epic

1454
02:17:14,960 --> 02:17:19,320
feats this year and I hope that this is the opportunity for the third.

1455
02:17:19,320 --> 02:17:27,360
First of all on the 19th of September he struck out Bill Sudeikis for the 350th.

1456
02:17:27,360 --> 02:17:35,200
Here's the pitch slider outside George Minerall want to know to break through Baudel's mark

1457
02:17:35,200 --> 02:17:38,840
and then his last outing when he struck out Steve Brie next pitch.

1458
02:17:38,840 --> 02:17:44,480
Or is it yes it is strike call one ball and one strike.

1459
02:17:44,480 --> 02:17:50,600
That was number 10 for the 22nd time this year he has done that and now he is only one

1460
02:17:50,600 --> 02:17:55,920
strike cut away from becoming the all time strikeout king the pitch slider outside two

1461
02:17:55,920 --> 02:17:57,200
balls and one strike.

1462
02:17:57,200 --> 02:18:01,520
Dr. Joe Zrasinski the angel position Dave has been kind enough to call us and the reason

1463
02:18:01,520 --> 02:18:05,800
why Ryan has been looked after he has a muscle cramp in the leg.

1464
02:18:05,800 --> 02:18:09,360
The two two pitch line drive they sit over the outstretched glove of Dave Chalk.

1465
02:18:09,360 --> 02:18:14,320
So George Minerall singles sharply to left here in the 10th inning.

1466
02:18:14,320 --> 02:18:18,200
It is in the leg apparently because of the heat of the evening I'm sure that Nolan with

1467
02:18:18,200 --> 02:18:23,360
all the pitches he's thrown has perspired heavily throughout the night and they feel

1468
02:18:23,360 --> 02:18:28,160
that that could be the cause just a muscle cramp due to the loss of body salt and that's

1469
02:18:28,160 --> 02:18:32,680
why there have been some delays between innings and why Freddie Federico went out to the mound

1470
02:18:32,680 --> 02:18:33,680
in the last inning.

1471
02:18:33,680 --> 02:18:39,480
Well here is the only man that Nolan Ryan has not struck out tonight Eric Satterholm

1472
02:18:39,480 --> 02:18:43,520
the pitch to him around a bunch takes a fastball outside one ball and no strikes.

1473
02:18:43,520 --> 02:18:48,320
Satterholm walked in the first bounced into a double play in the third flied out to right

1474
02:18:48,320 --> 02:18:54,000
in the sixth and walked in the eighth the only man that Nolan Ryan has not struck out

1475
02:18:54,000 --> 02:18:55,500
in the lineup.

1476
02:18:55,500 --> 02:18:58,800
That would be now with the exception of Rich Reese who came on defensively in the ninth

1477
02:18:58,800 --> 02:19:00,560
inning for Minnesota.

1478
02:19:00,560 --> 02:19:03,280
The stretch and a throw to first base.

1479
02:19:03,280 --> 02:19:07,680
McCraw was not on the bag at first and George Minerall was back easily.

1480
02:19:07,680 --> 02:19:11,920
One ball and no strikes on Satterholm again the stretch by Ryan and the pitch around a

1481
02:19:11,920 --> 02:19:16,680
bunch he does at the first base line it is a foul ball so called by Red Flairity.

1482
02:19:16,680 --> 02:19:19,320
One ball and one strike the count on Satterholm.

1483
02:19:19,320 --> 02:19:23,360
A 4-4 tie we're in the 10th.

1484
02:19:23,360 --> 02:19:28,160
Nolan Ryan if you've just tuned in we certainly hope you have not just tuned in because Nolan

1485
02:19:28,160 --> 02:19:33,760
has tied the all-time mark in Sandy Colfax by striking out 15 his victim being Steve

1486
02:19:33,760 --> 02:19:34,880
Bry.

1487
02:19:34,880 --> 02:19:39,480
Bry was his 382nd victim this year the stretch.

1488
02:19:39,480 --> 02:19:42,800
Satterholm around a bunch faked a bunch and then pulled the bat back and take a slider

1489
02:19:42,800 --> 02:19:44,960
outside two balls and one strike.

1490
02:19:44,960 --> 02:19:52,600
Alan Gallagher is playing about 45 feet away from Eric Satterholm.

1491
02:19:52,600 --> 02:19:56,560
Satterholm hits one on the button Gallagher doesn't have a chance.

1492
02:19:56,560 --> 02:20:00,480
The stretch Satterholm faking as if to bun swings away and sends a ground ball to second

1493
02:20:00,480 --> 02:20:06,240
chalk goes to the bag himself throws to first that's a double play.

1494
02:20:06,240 --> 02:20:12,520
So Satterholm indeed not bunning as he pulled the bat back and took the full swing but

1495
02:20:12,520 --> 02:20:15,520
grounded a chalk for the 6-4-3 double play.

1496
02:20:15,520 --> 02:20:20,080
Two down in the 10th and here's Mike Adams and Freddy Federico goes out to have a chalk

1497
02:20:20,080 --> 02:20:26,320
chat with Nolan Ryan and Dave Nolan really does not have near the stuff he enjoyed earlier

1498
02:20:26,320 --> 02:20:30,600
in the game and that's to be understood but he is not overpowering the hitters he's getting

1499
02:20:30,600 --> 02:20:35,420
them out and I guess he's just returning to what hitters would call a normal good major

1500
02:20:35,420 --> 02:20:40,440
league pitcher he's not able to really blow that fastball by them now and I guess the

1501
02:20:40,440 --> 02:20:45,480
toll of all the pitches that he has thrown has taken something out of that right arm.

1502
02:20:45,480 --> 02:20:50,800
Mike Adams has struck out two of the four times that he has faced Nolan Ryan.

1503
02:20:50,800 --> 02:20:54,320
The wind and the pitch to the right handed batting Adams is a fastball first strike on

1504
02:20:54,320 --> 02:21:00,760
one and there's a roar and you're going to hear it on every strike from here on out.

1505
02:21:00,760 --> 02:21:10,960
Adams became strikeout victims number 370 and 374 in the Ryan chronology of 1973.

1506
02:21:10,960 --> 02:21:15,680
The line by Nolan and a one strike delivery a fastball high and away and Nolan overthrowing

1507
02:21:15,680 --> 02:21:20,640
the fastball and very awkward in his follow through one ball and one strike.

1508
02:21:20,640 --> 02:21:24,840
He's trying to get everything on every pitch this could be the last man or the last out

1509
02:21:24,840 --> 02:21:25,840
he faces.

1510
02:21:25,840 --> 02:21:31,080
The 1-1 pitch to Adams low with the curve and clarity didn't give him much of a break

1511
02:21:31,080 --> 02:21:32,080
on that pitch.

1512
02:21:32,080 --> 02:21:38,240
Low and outside and just barely low two balls and one strike on Mike Adams.

1513
02:21:38,240 --> 02:21:43,960
The line by Ryan the 2-1 delivery a fastball outside ball three three balls and a strike.

1514
02:21:43,960 --> 02:21:48,600
And Ryan trying ever so hard and just missing again with that pitch.

1515
02:21:48,600 --> 02:21:54,040
3-1 Adams makes his home in Anaheim.

1516
02:21:54,040 --> 02:21:58,560
Time call by clarity as he waits for Adams to get back in.

1517
02:21:58,560 --> 02:22:02,440
The 3-1 pitch to Mike fastball ground ball back over the mound into center field that'll

1518
02:22:02,440 --> 02:22:04,000
be a base hit.

1519
02:22:04,000 --> 02:22:11,120
So Mike Adams risks one into center field and here is Jerry Terrell.

1520
02:22:11,120 --> 02:22:15,120
Ball wasn't hit very hard at all it was almost as if Ryan was too tired to really reach down

1521
02:22:15,120 --> 02:22:16,120
that far.

1522
02:22:16,120 --> 02:22:19,320
He just kind of gave it a little wave as it rolled by him out toward second.

1523
02:22:19,320 --> 02:22:24,040
Jerry Terrell is one for four he single off Ryan in the sixth.

1524
02:22:24,040 --> 02:22:28,000
When the twin scored the tying run tied at four.

1525
02:22:28,000 --> 02:22:31,960
Four runs nine hits for the twins four runs eight hits for the angels.

1526
02:22:31,960 --> 02:22:35,320
Right handed batter Jerry Terrell chokes up on the bat.

1527
02:22:35,320 --> 02:22:37,960
Line and there goes the runner from first goes all the way to the backstop a slider

1528
02:22:37,960 --> 02:22:39,640
Torborg back to get it.

1529
02:22:39,640 --> 02:22:44,840
Sliding on the play was Mike Adams and Adams by the slide may have cost him the extra base

1530
02:22:44,840 --> 02:22:46,320
going to third.

1531
02:22:46,320 --> 02:22:52,520
Be a stolen base given to Mike Adams that's the second for the youngsters this year.

1532
02:22:52,520 --> 02:22:57,240
So the go-ahead run at second base probably more important to Ryan right now than the

1533
02:22:57,240 --> 02:23:01,880
strikeout because the game is tied at four four.

1534
02:23:01,880 --> 02:23:07,080
Nolan twenty and sixteen.

1535
02:23:07,080 --> 02:23:12,880
Jerry Terrell steps back in Adams anchored at second base Ryan to the back slope of the

1536
02:23:12,880 --> 02:23:15,960
mound out of the grass to rub up the baseball.

1537
02:23:15,960 --> 02:23:25,520
Staring at his defense it finds it just about straight away and not too deep for Terrell.

1538
02:23:25,520 --> 02:23:29,960
Adams away from second Ryan at the belt the one-oh delivery to Terrell strike the fastball

1539
02:23:29,960 --> 02:23:36,600
right down the middle again that was not that real good smoke from Nolan Ryan.

1540
02:23:36,600 --> 02:23:40,840
Terrell with his hands on his hips staring down a third base coach Ralph Rowe but the

1541
02:23:40,840 --> 02:23:46,400
two down there's not much that Rowe can tell him.

1542
02:23:46,400 --> 02:23:50,160
Ryan stretches the one one pitch fastball popped up on the right side of the infield

1543
02:23:50,160 --> 02:23:53,880
he'll have to wait for another inning out in foul territory is Billy Parker to make

1544
02:23:53,880 --> 02:23:58,680
the catch and that'll do it for the Minnesota Twins in the top half of the tenth.

1545
02:23:58,680 --> 02:24:01,920
The twins no runs on a couple of hits no errors in a man left.

1546
02:24:01,920 --> 02:24:09,200
We go to the bottom half of inning number ten we have a four four tie.

1547
02:24:09,200 --> 02:24:12,920
Tall string being right hander Bill Campbell works on the Angels in the bottom half of

1548
02:24:12,920 --> 02:24:14,080
the tenth.

1549
02:24:14,080 --> 02:24:18,720
You look at Jeff Torborg and then Mickey Rivers and Dave Chalk Torborg in a conference with

1550
02:24:18,720 --> 02:24:22,840
third base coach Salty Parker before he comes to the plate.

1551
02:24:22,840 --> 02:24:29,560
The Angel both in as they bat in the bottom half of the tenth not throwing should be indicative

1552
02:24:29,560 --> 02:24:36,640
at least right now that Nolan Ryan would probably go on to the 11th inning or that Steve Barber

1553
02:24:36,640 --> 02:24:38,560
is already warm.

1554
02:24:38,560 --> 02:24:42,480
On the other hand Dave and Nolan walked off the mound he didn't jog to the dugout as he

1555
02:24:42,480 --> 02:24:50,120
normally would he walked off almost as if to say that's got to be it for me.

1556
02:24:50,120 --> 02:24:55,640
Jeff Torborg over three right hander Bill Campbell the third twins pitcher in the game

1557
02:24:55,640 --> 02:24:59,640
throws the curve it's been at the third base line it is a foul ball.

1558
02:24:59,640 --> 02:25:04,320
Torborg trying to beat a bun out down the third base line but he fouls it all in one

1559
02:25:04,320 --> 02:25:07,520
on Jeff.

1560
02:25:07,520 --> 02:25:11,320
The twins scored three in the first the Angels came right back with three of their own in

1561
02:25:11,320 --> 02:25:13,320
the first.

1562
02:25:13,320 --> 02:25:17,120
The Angels went ahead four to three with a single run in the third and then the twins

1563
02:25:17,120 --> 02:25:20,440
came back with a single run in the sixth to tie at four four and that's exactly where

1564
02:25:20,440 --> 02:25:25,280
we are right now.

1565
02:25:25,280 --> 02:25:28,440
One strike on Jeff Torborg.

1566
02:25:28,440 --> 02:25:32,280
Bill Campbell a ten game winner in the Pacific Coast League kind of double rocks and the

1567
02:25:32,280 --> 02:25:36,680
one strike pitch is laced foul off the first base side back out of play into the mezzanine

1568
02:25:36,680 --> 02:25:38,960
section no balls and two strikes.

1569
02:25:38,960 --> 02:25:43,400
That tight national league East Bennett race the Phillies a winner over the Pittsburgh

1570
02:25:43,400 --> 02:25:48,840
Pirates and the Cardinals a winner over the Cubs today so the Mets have one full game

1571
02:25:48,840 --> 02:25:52,560
lead on the Bucks two and a half over St. Louis three and a half over Montreal.

1572
02:25:52,560 --> 02:25:56,960
The pitch now inside and low gets off the shin guard to catch your George Middowald

1573
02:25:56,960 --> 02:26:01,560
and bounces about 15 feet to the right of home plate one and two.

1574
02:26:01,560 --> 02:26:04,960
The Cubs are four out there just about out of it and of course the Phillies bring up

1575
02:26:04,960 --> 02:26:12,380
the rear of nine and a devastating blow dealt however by the Phillies to Pittsburgh today

1576
02:26:12,380 --> 02:26:14,800
in 13 three to two and one.

1577
02:26:14,800 --> 02:26:17,800
The one two pitch to Torborg a fastball and a ground ball to the right side.

1578
02:26:17,800 --> 02:26:21,880
Carew is there and takes it on about three hops and throws the first to Rich Reese in

1579
02:26:21,880 --> 02:26:27,440
time for the first out in the bottom half of the tenth.

1580
02:26:27,440 --> 02:26:31,720
Mickey Rivers two for four tonight an infield base hit in the first to ground it out in

1581
02:26:31,720 --> 02:26:36,360
the second flight out in the fifth and single and stole his eighth base of the year in the

1582
02:26:36,360 --> 02:26:39,360
eighth off Bill Campbell.

1583
02:26:39,360 --> 02:26:43,120
Rivers was the first man that Campbell faced in the eighth the angels threatened but couldn't

1584
02:26:43,120 --> 02:26:47,800
do anything about it as chalk attempting to bunt popped out to Carmen Killebrew as he

1585
02:26:47,800 --> 02:26:52,560
bunted Frank Robinson then walked but McCraw struck out and Vincent flight out to end the

1586
02:26:52,560 --> 02:26:53,560
threat.

1587
02:26:53,560 --> 02:26:58,080
Right under Bill Campbell who faced Mickey Rivers I'm sure quite a few times this year

1588
02:26:58,080 --> 02:27:02,720
in a Pacific Coast leg and Rivers sends a high drive to right field over to his left

1589
02:27:02,720 --> 02:27:07,000
is Jim Holt and makes the catch two down.

1590
02:27:07,000 --> 02:27:12,200
Rivers just did miss getting all of this ball hit about 300 feet right down the right field

1591
02:27:12,200 --> 02:27:16,920
line about 30 feet in front of the 330 marker two down.

1592
02:27:16,920 --> 02:27:20,640
Here's David Chalk.

1593
02:27:20,640 --> 02:27:26,000
David two for three single in the first single in the third struck out in the fifth and bunted

1594
02:27:26,000 --> 02:27:30,040
in the eighth make him two for four.

1595
02:27:30,040 --> 02:27:34,120
Getting at 236 as he came into the game that average will move up the wine and the pistol

1596
02:27:34,120 --> 02:27:36,360
chalk fastball outside.

1597
02:27:36,360 --> 02:27:42,800
One ball and no strikes.

1598
02:27:42,800 --> 02:27:47,320
Young Frank Tanana or Clyde Wright tomorrow night and then Sunday builds a Saturday.

1599
02:27:47,320 --> 02:27:53,400
Bill Singer goes for his 20th change nicely thrown for Campbell by Campbell one strike

1600
02:27:53,400 --> 02:27:58,400
one ball and one strike and then depending on what happens later on this evening we'll

1601
02:27:58,400 --> 02:28:01,120
just have to wait and see about Sunday won't we.

1602
02:28:01,120 --> 02:28:04,520
If Nolan Ryan breaks the record tonight I would doubt that the angels would chance hurting

1603
02:28:04,520 --> 02:28:10,480
his arm the one one pitches a curve low outside two balls and one strike on Dave Chalk.

1604
02:28:10,480 --> 02:28:18,920
They have no one throwing in the angel bullpen so apparently Brian will continue on.

1605
02:28:18,920 --> 02:28:23,360
The line and the two one pitch chalk swings and foul tips it at the play reminds me of

1606
02:28:23,360 --> 02:28:24,360
the ballgame.

1607
02:28:24,360 --> 02:28:28,400
I believe we went 12 innings deck when he pitched against Detroit at Tiger Stadium in

1608
02:28:28,400 --> 02:28:29,400
Detroit.

1609
02:28:29,400 --> 02:28:31,960
How many pitches did he throw over 200 right.

1610
02:28:31,960 --> 02:28:36,280
It's got to be right around that mark this evening and he won the ballgame incidentally.

1611
02:28:36,280 --> 02:28:38,280
Two balls and two strikes on chalk.

1612
02:28:38,280 --> 02:28:41,920
Wind by Campbell the two two pitch sidearm fastball grounded to third right there as

1613
02:28:41,920 --> 02:28:46,200
solder on down with a tailgate throws the first and plenty of time and the angels are

1614
02:28:46,200 --> 02:28:48,920
gone in order here in the 10th one two three.

1615
02:28:48,920 --> 02:28:54,080
We will go to the 11th we will see if Nolan Ryan will go to the 11th waiting for his appearance

1616
02:28:54,080 --> 02:28:55,640
nobody warming up.

1617
02:28:55,640 --> 02:29:01,440
You'll hear a round of applause in the background as number 30 appears if indeed he will.

1618
02:29:01,440 --> 02:29:05,080
The gates to the bullpen have not been open.

1619
02:29:05,080 --> 02:29:10,520
John Roseboro bringing Dave chalk helmet back under handing the ball out to Jeff Torborg.

1620
02:29:10,520 --> 02:29:12,520
Ryan has still not made the appearance.

1621
02:29:12,520 --> 02:29:19,080
The crowd standing in anticipation the bullpen gate is being opened or not.

1622
02:29:19,080 --> 02:29:25,880
You see John Stevenson down there standing and Jeff Nolan Ryan has not made his appearance.

1623
02:29:25,880 --> 02:29:26,880
We will wait and see.

1624
02:29:26,880 --> 02:29:29,000
It has not been open.

1625
02:29:29,000 --> 02:29:32,440
Meanwhile the angel infielders just pegging the ball around.

1626
02:29:32,440 --> 02:29:36,320
Ryan perhaps still back being worked on by trainer Freddie Frederico.

1627
02:29:36,320 --> 02:29:40,600
A lot of the fans behind the angel dugout just standing.

1628
02:29:40,600 --> 02:29:44,800
The angel bullpen gate still has not been open which leads one to believe that Ryan

1629
02:29:44,800 --> 02:29:47,160
will eventually make an appearance.

1630
02:29:47,160 --> 02:29:51,160
Red Flaherty is staring over at the angel dugout.

1631
02:29:51,160 --> 02:29:55,400
Again Ryan is tied with Colpax at 382.

1632
02:29:55,400 --> 02:29:58,240
Red Flaherty is asking what are you going to do.

1633
02:29:58,240 --> 02:30:00,280
He steps over and nods yes.

1634
02:30:00,280 --> 02:30:07,240
The angel bullpen gate still is closed and here he comes.

1635
02:30:07,240 --> 02:30:16,320
So Nolan Ryan will go up into the 11th and we remind you that fan appreciation night

1636
02:30:16,320 --> 02:30:20,240
here at the big A this year will include gifts for the youngsters so plan on bringing the

1637
02:30:20,240 --> 02:30:24,400
entire family to see the angels and these twins on Saturday night when Bill Singer will

1638
02:30:24,400 --> 02:30:26,840
be going for his 20th victory of the year.

1639
02:30:26,840 --> 02:30:30,280
The first 8000 youngsters will receive souvenir gifts from the angels.

1640
02:30:30,280 --> 02:30:34,160
It's first come first served for a choice among three ring binders, t-shirts, pennants

1641
02:30:34,160 --> 02:30:35,160
and pictures.

1642
02:30:35,160 --> 02:30:37,080
And remember the game begins at seven o'clock.

1643
02:30:37,080 --> 02:30:40,720
That's on fan appreciation night this Saturday the 29th of September.

1644
02:30:40,720 --> 02:30:45,240
Tickets on sale at the big A box office from nine to five thirty daily at Mutual and Liberty

1645
02:30:45,240 --> 02:30:50,280
agencies and at UCB in Orange Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

1646
02:30:50,280 --> 02:30:53,400
We go to the 11th so does Nolan Ryan so does Dick Ember.

1647
02:30:53,400 --> 02:31:00,240
Thank you Dave Nolan will face the leadoff man Steve Bry, Roger Rue and Antonio Lever.

1648
02:31:00,240 --> 02:31:04,360
Ryan has struck out 15 but he has not enjoyed a strikeout since the eighth inning.

1649
02:31:04,360 --> 02:31:07,720
The pitch to Bry outside with a breaking ball.

1650
02:31:07,720 --> 02:31:12,040
It could be that the delay for Ryan was the fact that with that muscle cramp they may

1651
02:31:12,040 --> 02:31:15,640
have taken him back into the training room and Freddy Federico may have rubbed him down

1652
02:31:15,640 --> 02:31:18,200
try to improve the circulation.

1653
02:31:18,200 --> 02:31:23,160
The 1 0 pitch to Bry curve ball is in there.

1654
02:31:23,160 --> 02:31:27,760
Bry singled and scored in the first, singled in the second, struck out in the fourth,

1655
02:31:27,760 --> 02:31:30,880
hit into a double play in the sixth and he struck out in the eighth.

1656
02:31:30,880 --> 02:31:32,320
The last man that Ryan struck out.

1657
02:31:32,320 --> 02:31:33,320
Fastball is fouled back.

1658
02:31:33,320 --> 02:31:36,320
So Ryan is a strikeout away.

1659
02:31:36,320 --> 02:31:39,320
One ball and two strikes.

1660
02:31:39,320 --> 02:31:44,440
Three hundred eighty two strikeouts are already in the bank for Nolan Ryan to equal Sandy

1661
02:31:44,440 --> 02:31:46,640
Kofax's major league record.

1662
02:31:46,640 --> 02:31:52,160
And now the crowd's asking, pleading, cheering for just one more.

1663
02:31:52,160 --> 02:31:53,760
Right hander against right hander.

1664
02:31:53,760 --> 02:31:55,680
Steve Bry up there.

1665
02:31:55,680 --> 02:31:56,680
One ball and two strikes.

1666
02:31:56,680 --> 02:31:57,680
Ryan into the lineup.

1667
02:31:57,680 --> 02:31:58,680
Here's the pitch.

1668
02:31:58,680 --> 02:31:59,680
He fouls it off.

1669
02:31:59,680 --> 02:32:00,680
The fans cheering that one with their hearts and not their eyes.

1670
02:32:00,680 --> 02:32:01,680
Bry took a swing.

1671
02:32:01,680 --> 02:32:11,040
They knew he hadn't hit it into fair territory but he had clipped it foul off the mask of

1672
02:32:11,040 --> 02:32:12,040
red clarity.

1673
02:32:12,040 --> 02:32:14,160
It was not a strike.

1674
02:32:14,160 --> 02:32:15,160
One and two.

1675
02:32:15,160 --> 02:32:18,160
Steve Barber starts to throw in the bullpen.

1676
02:32:18,160 --> 02:32:24,760
Ryan rocks back the one to pitch her ball grounded a shot up with it is shot.

1677
02:32:24,760 --> 02:32:26,760
He throws the first one away.

1678
02:32:26,760 --> 02:32:31,600
So again, Ryan gets two strikes on a hitter and can't put him away.

1679
02:32:31,600 --> 02:32:35,760
And Ryan now is like the heavyweight fighter with a knockout punch that has gone so many

1680
02:32:35,760 --> 02:32:40,640
rounds that he has his opponent staggering and staggering but doesn't have enough left

1681
02:32:40,640 --> 02:32:45,200
to deliver that one blow that will knock him to the canvas and put him away.

1682
02:32:45,200 --> 02:32:49,600
He's getting the two strikes on the hitters but he can't get that third.

1683
02:32:49,600 --> 02:32:52,360
Rod Carew is 0 for 4 in the game.

1684
02:32:52,360 --> 02:32:53,760
He has struck out three times.

1685
02:32:53,760 --> 02:32:56,760
He has also walked and scored.

1686
02:32:56,760 --> 02:33:01,560
And the fact that you put a collar around Carewsnik is doing enough.

1687
02:33:01,560 --> 02:33:02,760
He's there to get a base hit.

1688
02:33:02,760 --> 02:33:03,760
The pitch.

1689
02:33:03,760 --> 02:33:04,760
Kerr ball outside.

1690
02:33:04,760 --> 02:33:05,760
Ball one.

1691
02:33:05,760 --> 02:33:06,760
Tauborg the catcher.

1692
02:33:06,760 --> 02:33:08,280
The infield Gallagher chalk.

1693
02:33:08,280 --> 02:33:10,240
Parker and McCraw in the outfield.

1694
02:33:10,240 --> 02:33:12,640
Barry Rivers and Pinson from left to right.

1695
02:33:12,640 --> 02:33:13,640
The pitch.

1696
02:33:13,640 --> 02:33:14,640
Kerr ball strike.

1697
02:33:14,640 --> 02:33:22,680
On the inside corner one and one.

1698
02:33:22,680 --> 02:33:26,840
Ryan struck out three in the first two in the second one in the third the side in the

1699
02:33:26,840 --> 02:33:31,960
fourth two in the fifth no one in the sixth but struck out the side in the seventh.

1700
02:33:31,960 --> 02:33:32,960
The pitch.

1701
02:33:32,960 --> 02:33:33,960
High and outside.

1702
02:33:33,960 --> 02:33:38,840
Tried to get a little extra on the fastball and then he struck out Steve Bry as the last

1703
02:33:38,840 --> 02:33:39,960
out in the eighth inning.

1704
02:33:39,960 --> 02:33:44,720
That was his three hundred eighty second but failed to get anyone in the ninth or the tenth.

1705
02:33:44,720 --> 02:33:48,040
And there's one out here in the eleven two and one to count the pitch.

1706
02:33:48,040 --> 02:33:49,240
Kerr ball too high.

1707
02:33:49,240 --> 02:33:50,240
Three and one on deck.

1708
02:33:50,240 --> 02:33:55,120
Tony Oliva.

1709
02:33:55,120 --> 02:33:58,200
And it is a great example for the fans here tonight.

1710
02:33:58,200 --> 02:34:02,480
The nine thousand one hundred to see just the little difference.

1711
02:34:02,480 --> 02:34:07,300
What a little difference it is between an overpowering strikeout pitcher and just a real

1712
02:34:07,300 --> 02:34:08,300
good pitcher.

1713
02:34:08,300 --> 02:34:11,800
The nine one pitches outside ball for breaking ball.

1714
02:34:11,800 --> 02:34:17,160
Ryan has walked his seventh man and here comes Tony Oliva and here comes Bobby Winkle to

1715
02:34:17,160 --> 02:34:18,160
the mound.

1716
02:34:18,160 --> 02:34:19,160
And Winkle.

1717
02:34:19,160 --> 02:34:20,160
Looks for the bullpen.

1718
02:34:20,160 --> 02:34:27,840
Ryan meets him halfway to the third base foul line.

1719
02:34:27,840 --> 02:34:29,440
And it's strictly up to Nolan Ryan.

1720
02:34:29,440 --> 02:34:34,200
Bobby Winkle is not going to take Ryan out of the game just to preserve a win.

1721
02:34:34,200 --> 02:34:35,400
He's not that kind of guy.

1722
02:34:35,400 --> 02:34:37,960
He is going to let Nolan Ryan pitch as long as he wants.

1723
02:34:37,960 --> 02:34:43,760
The only place where Winkle's might interfere with Ryan's thinking is the fact where Ryan

1724
02:34:43,760 --> 02:34:50,680
might be well falsely courageous or foolishly so and might injure himself.

1725
02:34:50,680 --> 02:34:54,520
Winkle's wants to protect against that and just wants to be certain that Ryan is really

1726
02:34:54,520 --> 02:34:55,520
OK.

1727
02:34:55,520 --> 02:35:01,840
Apparently Ryan has convinced his manager Winkle's leave.

1728
02:35:01,840 --> 02:35:08,480
Oliva tough to strike out.

1729
02:35:08,480 --> 02:35:11,320
Ryan got him once but that was way back in the second inning.

1730
02:35:11,320 --> 02:35:14,200
Oliva with two hits and a walk.

1731
02:35:14,200 --> 02:35:16,920
He's two for four.

1732
02:35:16,920 --> 02:35:19,640
One of the truly tough outs in the American League.

1733
02:35:19,640 --> 02:35:22,320
Harmon Killebrew on deck.

1734
02:35:22,320 --> 02:35:25,960
Ryan looks over at Carrow the pitch fastball inside.

1735
02:35:25,960 --> 02:35:37,840
Carrow remember has 40 stolen bases and Ryan isn't paying much attention to him.

1736
02:35:37,840 --> 02:35:39,400
Right side open.

1737
02:35:39,400 --> 02:35:42,840
Parker trying to cover the hole as McCraw is holding Carrow on.

1738
02:35:42,840 --> 02:35:44,760
One ball no strikes to count.

1739
02:35:44,760 --> 02:35:47,520
One out top of the 11th for four tied.

1740
02:35:47,520 --> 02:35:52,880
An unearned run scored by the twins back in the sixth inning tied the game.

1741
02:35:52,880 --> 02:35:56,640
After both clubs got three in the first and the angels took the lead with a run in the

1742
02:35:56,640 --> 02:36:00,880
third when they chased out her day of gold.

1743
02:36:00,880 --> 02:36:06,360
Ryan checks it through at first the pitch way outside with a curve and Ryan with each

1744
02:36:06,360 --> 02:36:08,720
pitch you can see that he's losing a little.

1745
02:36:08,720 --> 02:36:17,560
He does not have much left and he's paid facing some pretty tough hitters to be losing as

1746
02:36:17,560 --> 02:36:20,960
much as he is off that fastball and the curve.

1747
02:36:20,960 --> 02:36:25,160
And as Rich Reese of course was on deck Killebrew leaving the game for a pinch runner after

1748
02:36:25,160 --> 02:36:27,160
he singled the last time up.

1749
02:36:27,160 --> 02:36:32,600
Ryan does go to first and it's a fairly close play as Carrow has to dart back to the bank.

1750
02:36:32,600 --> 02:36:34,160
Two balls no strikes.

1751
02:36:34,160 --> 02:36:35,160
Ryan goes to first again.

1752
02:36:35,160 --> 02:36:36,160
Oh almost got him.

1753
02:36:36,160 --> 02:36:42,640
McCraw thought they had Carrow a good move by Ryan.

1754
02:36:42,640 --> 02:36:48,080
Carrow did not slide and that made it terribly close.

1755
02:36:48,080 --> 02:36:49,080
Ryan from the belt.

1756
02:36:49,080 --> 02:36:50,080
Here's the pitch.

1757
02:36:50,080 --> 02:36:56,080
Fastball swung on and Oliva is trying to hit that one to El Monte.

1758
02:36:56,080 --> 02:36:59,760
Two and one.

1759
02:36:59,760 --> 02:37:04,200
Oliva staggering out of the batter's box and his momentum carried him halfway to the screen.

1760
02:37:04,200 --> 02:37:08,640
Now he walks back up to the plate.

1761
02:37:08,640 --> 02:37:10,120
Ryan has struck out fifteen.

1762
02:37:10,120 --> 02:37:17,120
He has walked seven.

1763
02:37:17,120 --> 02:37:21,160
What a season for Nolan Ryan just wanting one more strikeout.

1764
02:37:21,160 --> 02:37:22,160
Two on pitch.

1765
02:37:22,160 --> 02:37:23,160
The runner goes.

1766
02:37:23,160 --> 02:37:24,680
It's a high fly ball to left center field.

1767
02:37:24,680 --> 02:37:26,160
Rivers easing back under it.

1768
02:37:26,160 --> 02:37:31,800
Carrow playing it halfway will return to first as Rivers makes the catch.

1769
02:37:31,800 --> 02:37:34,520
Let's pause for station identification from Anaheim Stadium.

1770
02:37:34,520 --> 02:37:37,400
This is the Angels Radio Network.

1771
02:37:37,400 --> 02:37:44,360
This is KXTC Glendale Phoenix 92.3 FM Stereo.

1772
02:37:44,360 --> 02:37:54,840
Rich Reese the batter.

1773
02:37:54,840 --> 02:37:55,840
The pitch swung on a miss.

1774
02:37:55,840 --> 02:37:56,840
You can feel it through the crowd.

1775
02:37:56,840 --> 02:38:03,840
A vibration saying maybe this is the guy.

1776
02:38:03,840 --> 02:38:07,440
Reese he hasn't faced him yet tonight.

1777
02:38:07,440 --> 02:38:09,960
Reese batting in Killebrew's spot.

1778
02:38:09,960 --> 02:38:11,280
Harmon was two for four.

1779
02:38:11,280 --> 02:38:12,280
He struck out twice.

1780
02:38:12,280 --> 02:38:13,280
He walked.

1781
02:38:13,280 --> 02:38:15,400
He's been two runs back in the first inning.

1782
02:38:15,400 --> 02:38:20,720
Reese is hitting one fifty one total with the twins and the Tigers this year.

1783
02:38:20,720 --> 02:38:23,600
Three home runs seven runs batted in one strike pitch.

1784
02:38:23,600 --> 02:38:24,600
That goes to a swing and a miss.

1785
02:38:24,600 --> 02:38:25,600
The throw to second base.

1786
02:38:25,600 --> 02:38:26,600
Not in time.

1787
02:38:26,600 --> 02:38:33,600
A close play and the crowd cheers the call of second base umpire Lou DeMiro.

1788
02:38:33,600 --> 02:38:36,600
It was very close.

1789
02:38:36,600 --> 02:38:45,280
The crowd wanted to run to be saved because Ryan now has two strikes on Ryan on Rich Reese.

1790
02:38:45,280 --> 02:38:51,280
So the go ahead scores at second forty one field for a two strike pitch coming up.

1791
02:38:51,280 --> 02:38:52,280
Ryan says here it is.

1792
02:38:52,280 --> 02:39:07,280
It's a major league strikeout king of all time.

1793
02:39:07,280 --> 02:39:12,280
He walks off the mound.

1794
02:39:12,280 --> 02:39:21,280
His teammates come over to greet him one by one.

1795
02:39:21,280 --> 02:39:24,460
From the

1796
02:39:24,460 --> 02:39:49,900
Detroit

1797
02:39:49,900 --> 02:39:55,240
They are still standing and sharing here at Anaheim Stadium.

1798
02:39:55,240 --> 02:40:00,720
Nolan Ryan has already given one on core wave and they're asking him to come out one more

1799
02:40:00,720 --> 02:40:06,360
time as the message board spells it out 383 strikeouts for Nolan Ryan.

1800
02:40:06,360 --> 02:40:09,120
He has broken Colfax's record.

1801
02:40:09,120 --> 02:40:12,360
Bill Campbell, the pitcher from Minnesota, stands out on the mound.

1802
02:40:12,360 --> 02:40:14,880
He has completed his warm up tosses.

1803
02:40:14,880 --> 02:40:19,780
The Angels fans here at Anaheim Stadium asking Ryan to come out just one more time and give

1804
02:40:19,780 --> 02:40:20,780
him away.

1805
02:40:20,780 --> 02:40:26,700
You know, here's where you wish baseball was like track and field when a man performs a

1806
02:40:26,700 --> 02:40:31,620
record breaking run or field event performance.

1807
02:40:31,620 --> 02:40:36,180
He will circle the track and acknowledge the cheers of the fans and that's what the fans

1808
02:40:36,180 --> 02:40:39,020
are asking for right now from Nolan Ryan.

1809
02:40:39,020 --> 02:40:43,300
Ryan, modest man, he's given him a quick wave.

1810
02:40:43,300 --> 02:40:47,180
He is appreciative of the fans and now the champ starts.

1811
02:40:47,180 --> 02:40:48,380
We want Nolan.

1812
02:40:48,380 --> 02:40:50,380
We want Nolan.

1813
02:40:50,380 --> 02:40:57,380
But they're not going to get Nolan.

1814
02:40:57,380 --> 02:41:01,740
Frank Robinson is at the plate ready to hit bottom of the 11th inning.

1815
02:41:01,740 --> 02:41:02,740
Bill Campbell on the mound.

1816
02:41:02,740 --> 02:41:06,900
Oh, that's got to be one of our greatest drills.

1817
02:41:06,900 --> 02:41:08,500
Campbell Wines, here's the pitch.

1818
02:41:08,500 --> 02:41:13,660
Curveball swung on and missed and Robinson now would like to give Ryan a victory.

1819
02:41:13,660 --> 02:41:15,820
The crowd still standing.

1820
02:41:15,820 --> 02:41:19,620
And now the one by one, they settle back in their seats.

1821
02:41:19,620 --> 02:41:23,060
Although they're chanting, we want Nolan.

1822
02:41:23,060 --> 02:41:26,860
And fans themselves, it's interesting the conduct of the people here.

1823
02:41:26,860 --> 02:41:31,580
They're shaking hands with each other as if they were all part of this great night.

1824
02:41:31,580 --> 02:41:35,620
That's swinging a miss by Robinson and well, they should feel that excited.

1825
02:41:35,620 --> 02:41:41,620
Young men, husbands and wives, friends shaking hands, embracing it just to say, yes, we saw

1826
02:41:41,620 --> 02:41:42,620
it.

1827
02:41:42,620 --> 02:41:43,620
We were part of it all.

1828
02:41:43,620 --> 02:41:45,460
And that is what makes this a great game.

1829
02:41:45,460 --> 02:41:50,900
It is perhaps the most personal of all games, all professional activity.

1830
02:41:50,900 --> 02:41:53,060
Robinson with a check swing roller to play foul.

1831
02:41:53,060 --> 02:41:54,980
Oh, and two.

1832
02:41:54,980 --> 02:41:56,740
I guess there are many reasons for that.

1833
02:41:56,740 --> 02:42:01,460
It's a game in which you get to know the players perhaps more than any other game because of

1834
02:42:01,460 --> 02:42:09,340
the length of the season, because it is a game that is set in a more pastoral setting.

1835
02:42:09,340 --> 02:42:12,120
You have a chance to absorb more of the activity.

1836
02:42:12,120 --> 02:42:15,120
There is the drama of the man in the center of the diamond.

1837
02:42:15,120 --> 02:42:16,580
Robinson knows what's going to happen.

1838
02:42:16,580 --> 02:42:19,500
He has the ball and he has to throw it.

1839
02:42:19,500 --> 02:42:23,820
And of course, one by one, all you had to do is count to three to appreciate what Nolan

1840
02:42:23,820 --> 02:42:24,820
Ryan has done tonight.

1841
02:42:24,820 --> 02:42:26,820
And the fans excited tonight.

1842
02:42:26,820 --> 02:42:30,340
9,100 were in on the new record at Anaheim Stadium.

1843
02:42:30,340 --> 02:42:32,740
Two strike pitch to Robbie is grounded toward short.

1844
02:42:32,740 --> 02:42:33,740
A tough play.

1845
02:42:33,740 --> 02:42:37,020
The third baseman cuts in front, throws the first just in time to get Robbie, who was

1846
02:42:37,020 --> 02:42:39,920
giving it all he had trying to beat that one out.

1847
02:42:39,920 --> 02:42:42,540
Now the Angels would like to get Ryan a run.

1848
02:42:42,540 --> 02:42:48,620
You have to feel that Ryan will not pitch in the 12th inning, that his season is over.

1849
02:42:48,620 --> 02:42:55,980
The 383 was his goal and he has it and he has worked very hard to get it tonight.

1850
02:42:55,980 --> 02:43:00,540
And it might be foolish for him to try to go beyond.

1851
02:43:00,540 --> 02:43:01,540
One out.

1852
02:43:01,540 --> 02:43:03,100
It remains tied at four.

1853
02:43:03,100 --> 02:43:06,100
Tom McCraw has a single and three at bats.

1854
02:43:06,100 --> 02:43:10,860
Meanwhile, Bill Campbell continues to pitch superbly in relief for Minnesota.

1855
02:43:10,860 --> 02:43:14,020
The pitch outside corner for a called strike.

1856
02:43:14,020 --> 02:43:20,780
So Ryan got his 380 second strikeout in the eighth inning, his 15th and his 16th of the

1857
02:43:20,780 --> 02:43:22,420
night with two outs in the 11th.

1858
02:43:22,420 --> 02:43:24,180
Rich Reese, the victim.

1859
02:43:24,180 --> 02:43:25,820
Ground ball up the middle to his left goes Terrell.

1860
02:43:25,820 --> 02:43:27,820
It's in the center field for a base hit.

1861
02:43:27,820 --> 02:43:32,180
Oh, what an effort by Terrell as he somersaulted to the second base side of the bag trying

1862
02:43:32,180 --> 02:43:33,820
to come up with the ball.

1863
02:43:33,820 --> 02:43:35,460
McCraw with a one out single.

1864
02:43:35,460 --> 02:43:40,420
The winning run is on and that would certainly cap a beautiful evening for Angel fans and

1865
02:43:40,420 --> 02:43:41,420
for Nolan Ryan.

1866
02:43:41,420 --> 02:43:46,620
If they could also get Ryan a victory, Ryan has given the fans the thrill that they asked

1867
02:43:46,620 --> 02:43:51,220
for and now the Angel teammates would like to present him with a victory his 21st of

1868
02:43:51,220 --> 02:43:52,220
the year.

1869
02:43:52,220 --> 02:43:54,740
Vada Pinson is the batter.

1870
02:43:54,740 --> 02:43:59,220
Pinson is 0 for 3, not going to run with a sacrifice fly back in the first inning when

1871
02:43:59,220 --> 02:44:01,140
the Angels scored three times.

1872
02:44:01,140 --> 02:44:04,300
Rod Carew comes in from second base to talk to Campbell.

1873
02:44:04,300 --> 02:44:06,540
George Midderwald goes out to the mound.

1874
02:44:06,540 --> 02:44:12,500
Well, it's quite an experience, David.

1875
02:44:12,500 --> 02:44:19,940
I'll tell you, it's an experience that I think, I hope that we have conveyed the excitement

1876
02:44:19,940 --> 02:44:25,940
certainly the fans here after Nolan Ryan had struck out 383 and headed for the dugout and

1877
02:44:25,940 --> 02:44:28,260
the shots in the background.

1878
02:44:28,260 --> 02:44:30,940
I'm trying to equate it with what I've been through before.

1879
02:44:30,940 --> 02:44:33,620
I can't come up with anything quite like it.

1880
02:44:33,620 --> 02:44:39,220
The only thing that was missing is about 33,000 more fans.

1881
02:44:39,220 --> 02:44:41,700
That's right.

1882
02:44:41,700 --> 02:44:46,260
Campbell kicks and deals and Pinson swings and misses at that good straight change.

1883
02:44:46,260 --> 02:44:54,100
And I have to think there'll be a day soon when it won't be 9100 but maybe 39,100 and

1884
02:44:54,100 --> 02:44:58,860
the game will not only be just for strikeouts but for the big money and a chance to get

1885
02:44:58,860 --> 02:45:00,100
into the American League playoffs.

1886
02:45:00,100 --> 02:45:04,580
And I guess that's what all fans for every team in the big leagues are hoping for from

1887
02:45:04,580 --> 02:45:06,380
the first day of spring.

1888
02:45:06,380 --> 02:45:10,340
Campbell goes the first and McRaw jumps back to the bag.

1889
02:45:10,340 --> 02:45:16,900
16 strikeouts and Ryan has the all-time record at 383.

1890
02:45:16,900 --> 02:45:19,620
The pitch low and a good stop by Midderwald.

1891
02:45:19,620 --> 02:45:25,300
I've been so lucky to have been part of so many great sports moments, the two of us and

1892
02:45:25,300 --> 02:45:30,140
certainly one that immediately comes to mind, certainly not baseball, but one of the great

1893
02:45:30,140 --> 02:45:31,140
thrills of my life.

1894
02:45:31,140 --> 02:45:36,620
I'm sure it was of yours is Tony Guillory's block punt of that Green Bay game and then

1895
02:45:36,620 --> 02:45:38,940
the touchdown pass.

1896
02:45:38,940 --> 02:45:39,940
Gabriel to Bernie Casey.

1897
02:45:39,940 --> 02:45:40,940
That's right.

1898
02:45:40,940 --> 02:45:44,460
That was one of the great thrills and this has to rank right there with it.

1899
02:45:44,460 --> 02:45:46,940
The 1-1 pitch coming up from Bill Campbell.

1900
02:45:46,940 --> 02:45:47,940
The runner goes.

1901
02:45:47,940 --> 02:45:52,260
The pitch is lined on one hop off the shins of Terrell and McRaw will have to hold at

1902
02:45:52,260 --> 02:45:53,260
second base.

1903
02:45:53,260 --> 02:45:55,980
The ball was not hit as hard as Terrell thought it was.

1904
02:45:55,980 --> 02:46:00,060
It was hit off the end of the bat so Terrell was expecting it to explode at his feet.

1905
02:46:00,060 --> 02:46:05,220
Instead it spun at his feet and kicked off his shins and it's an air charge to Terrell.

1906
02:46:05,220 --> 02:46:09,980
So the angels on a single and an air have the winning run in scoring position here in

1907
02:46:09,980 --> 02:46:16,020
the 11th inning and it is Richie Scheinblum who comes out of the angel dugout.

1908
02:46:16,020 --> 02:46:19,660
McRaw running on the play and that helped to make the play work because Terrell had

1909
02:46:19,660 --> 02:46:22,700
to see out of his peripheral vision.

1910
02:46:22,700 --> 02:46:25,300
McRaw racing to second and Terrell lost the play.

1911
02:46:25,300 --> 02:46:27,660
Quillis he goes to the mound to talk to his battery.

1912
02:46:27,660 --> 02:46:30,660
There's no one throwing in the bullpen.

1913
02:46:30,660 --> 02:46:33,900
Scheinblum batting for Barry.

1914
02:46:33,900 --> 02:46:43,460
I've talked to a lot of people who have been sportscasters in all of the fields hockey

1915
02:46:43,460 --> 02:46:51,420
and basketball, baseball, football and we have enjoyed so many thrills in all the sports.

1916
02:46:51,420 --> 02:46:57,460
But the consensus and I would have to say unanimously the biggest thrill that any man

1917
02:46:57,460 --> 02:47:02,500
can have as a radio play-by-play announcer is to be with a team that wins a pennant and

1918
02:47:02,500 --> 02:47:04,980
goes through and wins a World Series.

1919
02:47:04,980 --> 02:47:09,780
They all say it that there just is no thrill quite like the day-to-day excitement of a

1920
02:47:09,780 --> 02:47:13,820
team headed toward that one World Series championship.

1921
02:47:13,820 --> 02:47:17,620
It's because it is such a long season as Jim Brosnan said.

1922
02:47:17,620 --> 02:47:24,100
By golly you begin in February and it doesn't culminate until October and it is the repetition

1923
02:47:24,100 --> 02:47:28,500
I'm sure seeing a ball club win a pennant and then it even makes it more exciting now

1924
02:47:28,500 --> 02:47:31,840
because you have to go through the playoffs and then the World Series.

1925
02:47:31,840 --> 02:47:35,660
Like making love from April to October.

1926
02:47:35,660 --> 02:47:36,900
Here's the pitch to Scheinblum.

1927
02:47:36,900 --> 02:47:38,140
He takes a low ball on.

1928
02:47:38,140 --> 02:47:40,700
Ritchie batting left-handed and that's his strong side.

1929
02:47:40,700 --> 02:47:45,620
Have you ever had that experience?

1930
02:47:45,620 --> 02:47:49,300
Not going to get into that.

1931
02:47:49,300 --> 02:47:50,940
Scheinblum the hitter.

1932
02:47:50,940 --> 02:47:52,660
McCraw the winning run at second base.

1933
02:47:52,660 --> 02:47:56,900
We're in the bottom of the 11th inning a 4-4 tie on Nolan Ryan night at the big A. The

1934
02:47:56,900 --> 02:47:59,700
pitch to Ritchie inside corners says clarity.

1935
02:47:59,700 --> 02:48:05,020
Scheinblum is jumping away from the plate.

1936
02:48:05,020 --> 02:48:12,500
Scheinblum is hitting 313 but 352 left-handed.

1937
02:48:12,500 --> 02:48:16,180
McCraw at second, Pinson at first, one out.

1938
02:48:16,180 --> 02:48:18,300
The Angels trying to win it for Nolan Ryan.

1939
02:48:18,300 --> 02:48:19,300
Campbell on the mound.

1940
02:48:19,300 --> 02:48:20,300
His 1-1 delivery.

1941
02:48:20,300 --> 02:48:21,300
A change is too high.

1942
02:48:21,300 --> 02:48:22,300
2-1.

1943
02:48:22,300 --> 02:48:28,980
On deck Al Gallagher but remember Bob Oliver although he's suffering from a mild case of

1944
02:48:28,980 --> 02:48:33,140
the flu and was not in the starting lineup is in uniform and available for pinch hitting

1945
02:48:33,140 --> 02:48:34,140
duty.

1946
02:48:34,140 --> 02:48:37,300
At least that's the report we received at game time.

1947
02:48:37,300 --> 02:48:42,300
That was three hours ago and Bob may not have improved and it's conceivable he may have

1948
02:48:42,300 --> 02:48:43,300
retired for the night.

1949
02:48:43,300 --> 02:48:44,300
The 2-1 pitch.

1950
02:48:44,300 --> 02:48:45,300
Swing a line drive slicing the left center field racing over his bribe goes back and

1951
02:48:45,300 --> 02:48:46,300
it's over his head.

1952
02:48:46,300 --> 02:48:47,300
All the way to the wall here comes McCraw.

1953
02:48:47,300 --> 02:48:48,300
The Angels win 5-4.

1954
02:48:48,300 --> 02:48:49,300
Nolan Ryan strikes out 383.

1955
02:48:49,300 --> 02:48:50,300
He gets 16 tonight and the Angels help him to celebrate all of more.

1956
02:48:50,300 --> 02:48:51,300
His seventh straight.

1957
02:48:51,300 --> 02:49:09,380
He's going to be the first to make it to the top of the

1958
02:49:09,380 --> 02:49:16,380
Minnesota Twins 5-4 and 11 innings.

1959
02:49:16,380 --> 02:49:23,380
Shine Bloom's line shot to left center field tearing over the head of Steve Rye and his

1960
02:49:23,380 --> 02:49:30,380
rule to double and the Angels certainly one of the finest moments in Anaheim Stadium's

1961
02:49:30,380 --> 02:49:31,380
history have won a game.

1962
02:49:31,380 --> 02:49:39,380
Nolan Ryan has won the hearts of his many fans with another incredible performance of

1963
02:49:39,380 --> 02:49:40,380
Herculean effort.

1964
02:49:40,380 --> 02:49:45,380
He goes 11 innings to get his 16th strikeout and his 383rd for the year.

1965
02:49:45,380 --> 02:49:50,380
There are so many records to talk about but what really is important now is we get to

1966
02:49:50,380 --> 02:50:02,380
see Nolan Ryan and that's coming up in just a moment.
