The Cleveland Indians faced the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium for a Tuesday night game on May 10th, 1960.
The season was still young, but both teams were off to decent starts.
The Tribe was led by manager Joe Gordon and the Yankees by Casey Stengel.
Cleveland had been an average team for several years after their historic 111 win season in 1954.
The Yankees were coming off a disappointing season in 1959,
having won 79 games and missing the World Series for only the second time in 11 years.
This audio recording is from the New York Radio broadcast featuring announcers Red Barber, Phil Rizzuto, Mel Allen, and Bob Delaney.
This is a video for Ken Kacke of the Northern Association Against Jacksonville.
Casey's debut in organized baseball was with a base hit.
He had a single, stole a base, but his ball club lost the game 3-2.
So Casey has seen a powerful lot of baseball in the last five decades and quite an anniversary
and quite a record that Mr. Stengel has compiled, not only as a manager of the most successful team in baseball,
the New York Yankees, but also a very fine record as a player.
Fifty years and so our congratulations to Casey Stengel.
I wonder if he can remember all the details of that first ball game.
Johnny Chepa leading off while the Cleveland Indians had their play ball time at Yankee Stadium.
Billy Short, the young left-hander into the lineup of the first pitch, gets in low, ball one.
Johnny Temple, right-handed hitter.
Late his career of course, up until his trade to the Indians with the Cincinnati Red Legs.
The pitch, fastball is right in for a called strike.
One and one.
Temple hits a lot to right fielder, at least he did when he was in the national league.
The right fielder, frequently playing very shallow and right, I noticed that Maras in right,
is playing him about straight away.
He used to hit a great deal into short right.
The one-one pitch, a let-up, swung on, hit fair, fast third into the corner and left field.
It's a fair ball and the ball boy almost touched it.
And here is Temple rolling at his second base with a double.
That play was almost compounded by the ball boy, thinking the ball had gone foul.
He almost tried to make a play on the ball.
It went through his leg and it was not interfered with in any way.
But that young fellow is feeling mighty low at the moment, but he was fortunate in that the ball,
which he thought had gone foul, he tried to play and the ball went through his legs.
But he never touched it.
The ball caromed off the fence out there and it landed a double anyway.
Now the Indians have a runner on second and it's time for us now to pick up Red Barber,
who'll continue the action as the hitter is Harvey Keene.
The first pitch, low inside ball one.
Keene, who came to the Tigers, came to the Indians from the Tigers in exchange for Rocky
Colabito in a very controversial deal.
The pitch that Keene has swung on hit foul back up this way.
One ball and one strike.
Red, I think it's about time we picked you up.
We have no score, just the beginning.
The first hitter is the second base, going to come up with a double.
Red Crest pushing his first base to Cleveland.
Sergio White pushing his third.
One-one pitch, here the curve swung on and foul back into Howard's mask.
And he got it else than also on the right shoulder.
All right, one ball, two strikes.
There was a very familiar fellow pitching batting practice tonight for the Indians.
They just brought him up to do that work for them.
Ted Wilks.
He used to be quite a relief man with a shape of a cardinal.
All right, one ball, two strikes.
Good luck to second pitchers.
And Keene pitched a curve low inside ball too.
Two and two.
Two balls, two strikes.
Fifty years ago today out of Tancotillo, Illinois, a young ball player played in his
first ball game, case a single.
They got a base hit and stole a base.
And here fifty years to the day later, over there managing in the Yankee dugout, watching
these kids out for take on these challenging Cleveland Indians.
No score.
Change of pace to call on and left foul back.
First base, guys can't quite come up to it.
And it is still two and two.
It was a good try.
It was a low foul ball.
Couldn't quite get back.
Half step short.
Folks still coming in.
The next two days with Cleveland, three, two o'clock.
Keene holding up that down by the end.
June 5th, all waiting on deck.
The pitch is low inside the curve ball.
Three, three and two.
Three balls, two strikes.
Rotation to forearm fire.
Childlike behind the plate.
McKinley is at first.
Stevens at second.
Holman checks at third.
Short in his pitching position with the runner.
Second delivers low ball four.
So a double by Temple.
It is followed by a base on balls to Keene.
And here is Jimmy Pearsaw.
Who is playing left field tonight.
For the first time he's ever played at a stadium.
Pearsaw hitting three or six.
He just hit his way into the outfield.
Jimmy Pearsaw made some fantastic catches.
Red stocks against the Yankees.
Right hand batter.
Dinfield has to be looking for the bunt.
Runner at first and second.
Nobody out, no score.
Pearsaw blocks the bunt, takes the low curve, ball one.
Short has walked a half a dozen in each of his three previous starts.
Now it's about time to talk to him.
He's out there talking.
Down the left hander.
Not a slow start but the club has been rolling.
That's you back into right on Pearsaw.
They're not playing in the hole.
Temple off second.
Keene off first.
Pearsaw swings a ground ball to short.
Two bucks over to Wickerstand.
One on the first base into the base.
The strong can get with it for a double play.
Temple moves over to third base.
So they let Pearsaw hit.
And he hits short curve balls to short.
And it was two back to Richardson to Scharren.
You can see that double play was just coming.
Now we have Woody Hale with short stops.
Who's been generating a lot of power for the Yankees hitting three or two.
He has 19 hits.
Most hits on the club by Big Power who's the on deck batter.
Hale has hit the home runs for the club.
He's hit Fritz.
He represents the only home run power in this starting batting order.
That's an oddity.
All right, no score.
Two out.
Hale the right hand batter.
Over the close stands.
Swings to the curve and lands it off Scharren.
Short down the right field corner.
Temple scores.
Hale is on his way around first.
Headed to second base.
Marich is up for the ball.
And Hale comes in standing with a double.
That was a Wicket Line drive.
Scharren started over to the line.
Just did ticket for the end of his glove but he didn't even slow it down.
So despite the double play the Indians have scored.
And Hale about to end his sixth run.
His fourteenth run.
That's the most on the club.
And Big Power is better than 12 and has the most hits with 25 is that.
Power has always been a tough hitter for the Yankees to get him out.
So double the right for Hale.
RBI, Power, in a severe crowd, right hand hitter.
Swings and hits a foul ball out of play back of first base.
It's 1-0.
Play for the Indians.
That field is back into right on Power.
Third base coach Joe Joe White keeps reminding Hale to second base to get going on anything.
Two out.
Short is ready to pitch.
He does.
A strike.
Breaking ball on the outside corner.
That was his change.
He took a little off the fast ball and you could see the ball sink.
No ball, two strikes.
Nothing in two.
Two strike pitch.
Swung on and bounced back over the mound.
Slowed it to shortstop.
Kuvec has to hurry and he can't make the play and they get Hale over running third.
And they throw to Mike Duggo, it's Ron Hage, they run him back and Hale is out.
Kuvec came in on the slow bounder that bounced over the pitcher.
If the base hit a single and when Kuvec saw he couldn't make the play at first base,
he very wisely didn't even attempt to throw, looked up and Hale had gone a step around third base.
So he threw to Mike Duggo and then in the ensuing run down he was out to Mike Duggo to catch a howler back to Mike Duggo again.
So Power, a single to short.
And it is one run on three hits, one man left.
Hale was caught in the run down over running.
Shortstop to the third baseman to the catcher to the third baseman.
A lot of action in the top of the first inning.
A lot of base running but the double play really was the key to keeping the Indians from having a big inning.
Came up with three hits but scored only one.
Three hits and a base on balls.
Double play ball plus head work on the part of Tony Kuvec kept the Indians from causing more trouble than they did.
Here's Kuvec and Perry, the fast ballers first pitch breaks inside ball one.
Perry is a long angular boy standing well over six feet tall who broke in so dramatically against the Yankees last season striking out the side in a relief appearance.
The next pitch is swung on a full foul into the seat and right field.
Tony really came around on that and laced it sharply in among the spectators well down the right field foul line.
Defensively it's Strickland at third.
A shortstop is what he held.
Johnny Temple is at second.
At first is Vic Power.
Kersol is in left.
Hardy in center.
Keene in right.
Romano catching and Perry's pitch just a little bit high.
Ball two and strike one.
This is an all young pitching staff for Cleveland.
Pitch, first one on line in the right field.
The base hit for Kuvec.
He may go for two.
He is turning to the left his first.
Here is the throw from Keene and he's in there for a double.
Tony makes it ten straight games as he puts the tying on promptly at second base.
And apparently after a day off both these ball clubs have come out here swinging.
The Indians weren't scheduled for one but they got it because of the weather in Boston yesterday.
So Tony now gets his hitting string into the double figures.
One nothing Cleveland.
And the batter is MacDougall.
MacDougall hitting it to 59.
Gill made that play just now to get the third out top the first inning possible by staying put at third base.
So infielders and outfielders have got to always know where they should be on each play.
Of course if you don't watch them you don't notice that they're doing it.
Kuvec leading down on second.
There's a curve over for a called strike by MacDougall.
Nothing in one.
Jim Perry pitching.
John Romano catching.
Big power at first base.
Johnny Temple.
That's the big fellow they got in the winter from Cincinnati's at second.
Woody Hall is at short.
And the third baseman is George Strickland.
The strike one puts to MacDougall.
The curve hits foul.
Almost got the first base coach Ralph Houch.
But he turns away from it.
Ball goes on down.
Strike two.
Jerry Piaf-Sol is in left field. Carol Hardy is in center and Harvey Keen is in right.
Over all, two strikes.
Cassetti coaching at third base.
Ralph Houch at first.
The right hander delivers a fast ball that is foul tipped.
And it's Nick Chilack that played umpire primarily on his chest protector, outside chest protector.
One nothing Cleveland and the Yankees have had Kuvec lead off five out of eight games with a base hit.
And this one is a double so the tying runs at second base.
Three of the games in the American League are tonight.
The two-strike pitch, fast ball that is foul tipped, and it hits Chilack in the chest protector again.
That's the successive pitches that he has been hit.
You know, that chest protector doesn't exactly absorb at all.
I think this last one shook up Nesta.
Walked in a small circle there for a few seconds.
Boom, boom. And now a pair of emotions for Romano to come out.
Romano is the catcher that they got from the White Sox.
Now Chilack is going out to break up this meeting between the pitcher and the catcher and saying,
let's go, fellas. Big night game. A lot of fine folks there in the stands.
All right, nothing and two.
Mike Dugle, splash stands.
Perry checks the run at second pitch. And Gill swinging, hits the ball foul down on the right field corner.
Still two strikes.
Perry is 6'4", 185 pounds.
So when we say it's all right, Henry, we do mean it.
Perry in position. Two bags left going off second.
The pitch is swung on to the high fly ball off the pier saw in left field.
He's waiting for it, waiting for it. He has it.
So we have one up.
But now it's Mickey Maddell who hits the face in the first 13, batting 321.
Maddell gets a big hand, steps in against this Cleveland right-hander.
Two bats left-handed.
That field is deep and around toward right.
Perry takes the sign from Romano.
The pitch, back ball inside, low, ball one.
He gets straightened above that.
One nothing, play for the Indians.
The pitch is high and inside, ball two. Two and up.
Two balls, no strikes. First base is open.
Back of Maddell is Maris, then Scharron, then Bella, then Howard.
And right now Maris is the hottest hitter in either big league.
Pitch is a curve, inside, ball three. Three and up.
Two balls, no strikes.
Mickey waiting.
Perry gets all set. Pitch is outside, ball four.
And Maddell, Maddell is just 15th walk.
That goes along with 18 hits.
Roger Maris, hitting at 458.
Maris goes out to talk with Perry.
Maris has 10 hits to his last 18 official at bat.
That's a clip of 566.
He's reached base safely 14 times in his last 21 appearances.
That's a clip of 667.
So there he is.
Now, it's a one-nothing game for Cleveland.
The Yankees pressing back with Manett first and second.
One out, first inning.
Maris with a left-hander.
Swings and does not get a high curve ball.
Strike one.
Maris started out his major league career with Cleveland.
He was dealt from Cleveland to Kansas City.
And then he was the big man that the Yankees traded for this winter.
So far he's really made that trade stand up.
Perry checks the lead runner, Kubek, at second.
Delivers a curve that's hung on a miss.
Strike two.
That was a low inside curve.
He started him with a high slider.
Didn't break much, but it broke quickly.
And then he came back with a big curve ball on his side.
Now he's got him two quick strikes.
Perry's taking his time.
He's holding the ball between both bare hands.
Now he slips on the glove.
Holds the ball behind his back as he takes the sign.
Comes down out of his stretch.
Check second.
Head bob.
Pitches.
A fast ball high inside, as it is ball one.
Now we've got around the bill of the cap.
One ball, two strikes.
Kubek at second, Maddly at first.
One nothing.
Played with the Indians.
That'll not happen so far in this first inning.
The pitch is swung on far back.
That was a fast ball that seemed to me to be on the inside, hand high.
Now he's had to protect the plate.
The Indians had two doubles, a walk, and a single first inning, and only got one run.
Now he walks off the mound.
He's got a bit of a strategy when he gets a couple strikes on the head to let him wait.
Some pitchers do that.
One and two.
He throws to first, and Maddly's back.
That was a step flying.
I don't know who gave the sign, but somebody did.
Power broke.
He was deep.
You see, with a runner at second base, Maddly had to come back in on his chest, slide forward with his hand.
Well, I bet you that Hog jumped a foot when he saw that play start.
Right, one ball, two strikes.
Now Rick's waiting.
Maddly's box, left hand hitter.
The six foot four inch right-hander delivers the curve.
Swung on a broken back, the puck fly, and he has automatically added him to the infield fly roll,
and the hitting part of the bat flew into the stands.
I would say a dozen rows back of the Yankee dugout.
Right now the spectators are looking to see if the bat struck anyone.
Of a bumping Bill Fowler.
He must have hit Maris right on the fist, as they say, and snapped off that bat,
because the hitting part went over in the stands back of the Yankee dugout,
all the Yankees on the top of the step looking back in.
The pop fly went to the shortstop, and for the protection of the runner, the infield fly was invoked,
and Maris is automatically out.
And apparently nobody was hurt.
The spectators are a little waving over there while the bat went.
And here is the mighty Moose scouring up, two down, and there's a call strike.
He buzzed that one over the inside hand high.
Scour hitting at 333.
Now, correct, scour hitting at 400.
26 hits, and he's about at in 20.
One nothing Cleveland.
Scour pitching very deliberately.
Since Kubeck opened up one in with a double, he gets Tony Stiller's second, and Madeline at first.
Scour and swing to the curve, strike two.
No balls, two strikes.
And he's looking at the rear of Pitcher's mound, pulling with a rossin' bag, looking at the day.
Lugs up the ball.
And that is certainly his pattern. If he gets two strikes on the hitter, he's going to make him white.
All right, now Jim Perry up on the mound.
Another headbutt check at second Pitcher, the curve, that is foul back.
Scour, strike two.
The lights on for the first night game of the season at the stadium.
This is the start of a big series.
Big for both ball clubs.
We'll see you again in the next two afternoons, Wednesday and Thursday.
Perry delivers and strikes out on a fastball up by his man.
Defending, he's simply overpowering, and he got out of the jam, Kubeck opened with a double, and never got off second base.
One run, one hit.
Well, friends, in the first inning we have had an aggregate of four hits, three of them doubles, two bases on balls,
and yet out of it has only emerged one run, which Cleveland possesses.
So the score at the end of the first inning is Cleveland one and New York nothing, and let's pause for space identification.
You are tuned to 1460 on the radio dial. This is WOKO, Albany, New York.
We're in the 15 seconds on the WOKO clock, 8.30. Temperature is 58 degrees.
Let's check the other ball games for you. Young Bill Short gets ready to pitch the second inning of his fourth major league star.
Chicago has started at Boston, Wynn versus Casale, and the White Sox didn't score that first flick.
Kansas City, Baltimore, all against Wilhelm, and at the end of an inning and a half it is one-nothing in favor of the Athletics.
And at the end of the first inning, Detroit at Washington, Mosley versus Clemenger, it is no score.
Detroit has lost its last hit. Philadelphia, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, I doubt it will have much on that for you.
Chicago, Post-Pon, what's around, and this is the fifth straight post-ponement at Wrigley Field, Chicago.
They just lost the whole series with the Milwaukee Braves. That's rough.
Now we have John Romano, right-hand hitting catcher, much promise that the White Sox gave up in the Monosha deal.
Takes a call strike from Short. The left-hander delivers a change of pace, but the short makes it hold it in the glass.
A line drive that if you hadn't caught it in the glove would have hit him at the point of his right shoulder.
He just stuck the glove up there, and there she was. He pikes you.
Now we have George Strickland, the veteran infielder who returned after a year's absence from baseball last year and what's third.
He used to be the shortstop at Cleveland in his younger days. In fact, when Cleveland last had a pennant winner who played in the World Series against the Giants, he was the shortstop.
Pikes the pitch inside, ball wide.
Strickland hits a high pop fly. Second baseman Richardson is on Rick.
He's got it. I know you think it was over there how important to take it, but pitch is short.
He's directing things out there in the middle of that dam.
All right, two up, two down. A line drive and a pop fly.
One-nothing Cleveland, and the hitter is the young outfielder, and the center fielder is a nice girl, Hardy.
He hit one for six. Strickland wanted that one for six.
Pitch is the curve ball over for a soft strike, and when it looks as though Hardy might have had a bump notion, short was off that mound like a rabbit starting for the third baseline.
Nothing and one.
Hardy right hand batter swings and grounds his foul. Strike two. There's an outside breaking ball.
The ball is retrieved, but to Childlike for inspection, he passes inspection and continues as the ball in play.
And nothing and two.
Short deals outside. Ball one. One and two.
I thought Tommy Holmes in the Hilltrip Bien this morning had a very fine story about this young pitcher and about the Yankee pitching staff, his present status.
One-two pitch, change of pace, swing on and hit foul down in the left field stand. Down in the corner. One and two.
Hardy spent most of last year at Seattle, but part of it was Cleveland.
This was a fellow that was a big football star among the Colorado.
One-two pitch, swing on and a high foul out of play, back of the Yankee dugout.
He out holds one and two. Two out. Bases clear.
One-two pitch is on the ground ball, hits to Skowin who's up with it and Hardy is out. He's swinging late.
And the score at the end of an inning and a half remains Cleveland one and New York nothing.
And Yogi is hitting at 333.
Left hand batter.
He's got to feel around toward right.
Yogi takes a pitch low inside, ball one.
I'm watching where Johnny Temple is playing. He's pretty well over toward first base and at the edge of the grass.
We were interviewing him before the ball game down in the dugout.
He's a very pleasant and intelligent spoken young man.
Pitch high outside ball two and he volunteered the information that it was real tough to come over into another league.
So you didn't know the pitches, how to hit at them, how big their curves are, how hard they threw the ball,
and also that you just did not know how to play the different hitters.
But he's working at it he says.
And he is ready to pitch the ball to an out does and it's over fastball for a called strike.
First to the last and second in England.
One nothing Cleveland. Yankees at bat.
Dallas Swings has a high foul that is close to the stands and back behind the vistas dugout.
We told you that the White Sox did not score their first lick up at Boston.
Well the Red Sox have not been retired in the last of the first inning but Vic Wirtz has hit a grand slam home run.
He's having his troubles getting going this year.
Two and two to Yogi.
He's got a lot of ideas, a curve that's come out of the high five ball to deep right Tennessee.
And now it's Boston Howitz.
He's getting through 18 but he's better than 15.
Right hand hit him, over the close stands.
Feet pretty well spread out.
Takes the fastball too low.
Ball one.
Half swing and a foul back.
One and one.
Make no mistake this Cleveland club has some fine young arms.
And they took the gamble when they traded Michael Ashton the winner that the young fellows could do it.
Fastball is in there, strike two.
One ball, two strikes.
Very deal.
Misses with the fastball low inside to the knee.
Two and two.
One out, nobody on left for second.
That's how it works.
And Howard is out.
Now we have Trudeau and Bobby Richardson stepping in.
Byron's hitting a 2-17 but he's moving up.
He's had five hits in his last 13 official trips.
I feel shades him a step into left.
Very deal.
The Curbs went on to the line drive foul into the seats behind first base.
Folks over there have been kept looking, they've had a couple of line drive fouls and half of a bat.
Nothing in one.
Very delivers, snaps it right over.
All strike two.
He's very tall, 6'4".
He's quite lean and he is very loose.
Trudeau's into his full pitching motion and pumping when there's nobody on.
You can tell he means it.
He's got a curve outside, a foul one.
Trudeau taking his time with two strikes on the bat, two out.
Good deal.
Curbs went on, foul back again.
One, two pitches, a fastball's going on, he's going back, back, back, back on, makes the catch.
So we have an afternoon game.
Jim Perry leads off as we go to the top of the third inning.
Short's first pitch to Perry is swung on and lofted into right center field, Mantle moving over and has plenty of time to make the catch.
He reached across the plate, got under the ball, pops it up into comparatively shallow right center field.
One out and that brings the top of the order up again.
Johnny Temple, who opened the game with a double and came around to score the one run the Indians were able to get in the first inning,
despite the fact that they got three hits, a base on balls.
A double play, however, nullified the chance for a big inning and then a cutoff play, a third base, in which a man was trapped, finally retired the side.
The call strikes to Temple.
He's going off to find stock for Cleveland.
He has 19 hits for 73 at bats.
Good shape in 10 straight now.
Right hand batter. Swing then, fouls the ball to the upper spades like a first base.
Johnny knows that he is small as players go. He doesn't try to hit the ball out of the park.
He doesn't want to park this size.
He's a sharp hitter.
Fine fielder, quite a competitor.
And the word down to Cleveland dugout is that he has become the boss man of that infield.
Unofficial captain.
A two strike pitch. Swung on, grounded down, two short, two back from the holes, and throws him out by two strikes.
So we have two down as the Yankees' young left-hander Bill Short continues working.
He doesn't act like a rookie out there.
Here's Harvey Keene, who's a hard fellow to fool and a tough man to pitch to and got a base on balls in the first inning.
Keene is hitting 300 on the nose right now. He's his last year's batting champion.
He's inside breaking ball, ball one.
On ball, no strikes.
Keene is standing way back in the box with the right hand hitter. He's far back if he can go.
Pitch outside, ball two. He hit.353 last year.
And on the Sunday before the season opened, he and Califito were traded even up.
That news was a detonation in both towns.
Keene was in there for a called strike. Two and one. Two balls, one strike.
Harvey missed some games early in the year for a bad leg. He's quick to change his face outside, ball three.
We were asking him before the game began how the leg was, and he says considerably better.
Gathered by that, that he's not completely well, but he's playing.
All right, three and one.
The pitch is high outside, ball four. And Keene draws his second walk.
On the two walks, given up by short.
And this gets Jimmy Pearsall at the plate. Pearsall came into the game hitting a.306 in the first inning with Keene at first and Temple at second.
He cracked into a double play.
Engineered by Kuback and pivoted on by Richardson and finished the scoundrel.
That was the 16th Yankee double play. One nothing Cleveland.
Fair blow inside, and it is ball one.
They're giving Pearsall the gap in left center. They're not playing into throw very much.
And now there's quite a ways open in the right center field.
Nice as he steps back toward the line.
Pitch is hung on to the ground ball to Kuback. Goes a short wait a second to Richardson to get the force on Keene.
Two. No runs. No hits. One last.
No errors. And the score, end of two and a half innings tonight. First night game of the season at the stadium. The Indians won and the Yankees nothing.
How do you feel about the man who lubricates your car? In a completely unrehearsed interview, one driver expressed his feelings.
Short swings as he throws from the left side.
Very big wind up in his first pitch inside ball one.
Here's the one-oh pitch. Taken right in there for a called strike one and one.
That's ball fouled off.
Sorry, put it in a rather leisurely looking fashion.
Deals and it is strike three. Gave him a quick little curve. Put him out. Second strike out.
One down. Now here is Kuback who doubled in the first inning.
But never got off second base.
They are setting the outfield a step toward right on Tony.
Now they're moving it back.
They're moving hard. He backed over into left center field and giving Kuback the gap in right center.
Right down in there for a strike. He's throwing center of his curve balls. He's throwing everything pretty hard.
He's had a good strike out record since he's been a professional pitcher.
There's a fastball thrown on and hit high toward right side of Hardy going back. He's under it.
Two down. One nothing Cleveland.
Mike Gugel, oh for one, hit a fly ball left field the first inning.
Moves in and Mantle steps in the on deck hitter's circle.
No shading Gill into left.
Pitches a low curve. Too low. Ball one.
One ball. No strikes.
Right handed deals a curve over.
That was on the target. One and one.
Fastball thrown on and hit out of the right field. Keen backing up.
Backing up and has it.
For the third out. Third is nothing across and totaled at the end of three. Cleveland one three all for New York 0 1 0.
And before Rizzuto comes along let's pause for station identification.
You are tuned to 1460 on the radio dial. This is WOKO Albany, New York.
And WOKO clock is now four and one half minutes before the hour of nine. Temperature is 58 degrees.
OK Bill. A moment ago I saw that Short had to pull his back foot out of the way from a curveball. Almost hit him.
What's this tale you tell about swinging at a pitch that did hit you?
Yes that's true. I did swing at a pitch one time and it hit me and I thought I'd be allowed to take my base.
But the umpire told me that I was wrong. I thought you swing no matter what happens to the ball it's a strike.
Do you remember who threw the curve?
No I don't know. Let me see.
Want me to help you?
Yeah go ahead.
Bobby Shantz?
Oh man and he's got oh now I remember. Oh that's when little Bobby was in his heyday boy. He was the MVP in the American League pitching for the Philadelphia Athletics.
And he still got a good curveball but he had a dandy then.
And we've got a dandy of a ball game going on right now between the Indians and the Yankees with Cleveland leading 1-0 here in the top of the fourth.
And coming up to Batman who drove in the only run of the ball game Woody Hale with a double of right field driving in Johnny Tempo.
Billy Short out on the mound.
A left hander ready. Kicks delivers a curveless high ball one.
Woody's off to a good start.
20 base hits and 64 times at bat. That was his first double of the year. He has a triple and six home and 14 runs batted in.
Pitch is inside and low ball two. Two and nothing.
On deck Vic Parr.
Here's the windup by Short. Curve hit deep to right field but curving far.
And Woody Hale has plenty of power.
To all fields.
Leading the Indians in homers and RBI.
Two balls one strike on a power hitting shortstop. Slow curve is on the outside corner. Ball strike two. Two and two the count.
Nesta Shiloh calling balls and strikes. Short goes to the Rosenberg.
Yogi Barrett deep in left field. Mammoth not too deep in center.
Marist deep in right.
The pitch is hit on the ground to the right side. Skaren backhands the ball. Nice play. Flips the short. In time to get held.
A fine play by Bill Skaren. Takes the base hit away from Woody Hale.
And the cheering that went up just moments before Hale hit that ball. Today marks Casey Stengel's 50th year in baseball.
Casey broke into pro ball.
May 10th 1910.
Wow he played center field for Tanki Kia the Northern Association against Jacksonville.
Casey had a single, stole a base but his team lost three to two.
Matter of fact Stengel batted fourth that day.
Ball one outside to Vic Power. Power beat out an infield single.
And on a heads up play by Tony Kuback. A fake throwing the first base. Woody Hale rounded third and a hung held up between home and third. He was thrown out.
One nothing pitch. Slow curve. He's in there for a called strike one on one. And Vic Power has got a puzzle look on his face.
He was walking up on that pitch and just couldn't wait.
And the ball floated right by him about felt high.
Power just swings the bat back and forth. Real low then crouches.
Here's the one one delivery. Another slow curve popped in the air. In short left field. Yogi coming in fast.
And makes the catch.
Yogi got a good jump on that Texas Laker. Hit right off the end of the bat by Vic Power.
And caught it on the dead run. Kuback didn't have a chance for it. Two away.
And it brings up Johnny Romano the catcher.
Who almost tore Billy Short's right arm off with a vicious line drive back through the box.
Short stuck his glove up in self protection and the ball landed right in the pocket. Didn't know he had it. Was hit so hard.
Two out. Nobody on. Cleveland one. Yankees nothing. Top of the four.
On deck George Strickland.
Here's the first pitch to Romano. Fastball inside. Ball one.
This is the fourth major league start.
For Billy Short and of course his first against the Indians. First time they've faced Cleveland this year.
Clear for the ground. A third. McDougall on one hop. Goes to Scaran and that's all for Cleveland.
Yankees have been restricted to one hit over the first three innings. Mantle and Maris.
And Mooscaran.
The power part of the Yankee order. The first pitch. Mantle takes a pitch outside. Ball one.
The Indians pick their run up in the first inning.
On three hits and a base on balls. A double play sandwiched in between. The next pitch. Up high.
Ball two. Mantle has not seen a strike tonight. He walked on four pitches his first time up.
Mantle two and all. Play pitch. Curveball he gets it over. Call strike two and one.
Alright here's the two one pitch. Mantle takes inside. Ball three. Three and one.
About a year ago almost to this day that Jim Perry came in from the bullpen. Pitched a tremendous relief appearance against the Yankees.
And that started him on his great freshman year. But then we remember him as a hard throwing right hand and now he's mixing up his space.
The pitch is hit high in the air to a straight away center field.
Carol Hardy the center fielder moving under it and making the catch. Ball was hit so high that Mantle was all the way down a second before Hardy caught the ball.
That's how high he hit it. But that's the wrong part of the park to hit it in and Mickey knows it.
Perry has got the Yankee hitters hitting the ball in the air.
The only ground ball they have hit was a slow hopper back to the mound. Elston Howard hit that in the second inning. The rest have been fly balls and two strikeouts.
Here's Roger Maris. He takes a curveball. Ball one. Roger fouled out to the shortstop in the first inning.
He ended up with just the handle of his bat in his hand and the barrel of his bat went over the Yankee dugout and hit a fan but not hard. Just grazed him.
In the last row of box seats there's a foul off Maris's leg and that one hurts. Roger is not rubbing but I know it hurts.
He hit it right down off his right leg. One and one on Maris.
Maris came into the game leading the majors in hitting with a 4.58 average.
One one pitch inside ball two. Two and one. Perry is trying to crowd Maris with that fastball and curveball. On deck is Bill Scaran.
Here's the two one pitch. It's a little bit low for ball three. Three and one. One out, nobody on. Cleveland leads one nothing. We're in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Here's the three one delivery. It's fouled back on the screen and it sticks in the screen.
About three rungs from the top. It sticks right up in there.
Full count on Maris. Ready for the payoff pitch. Here it is. It's fouled back and in the mezzanine. Fans are having a lot of fun tonight with these foul balls and there have been plenty of them.
There's a lot of this crowd here but it would have been a lot bigger had the weather been nicer during the day. A lot of people shied away because of the forecaps. The curve inside ball four he lost them.
That's the second walk given up by Jim Perry.
Perry had retired nine men in a row since mantle walk in the first inning up till the walk to Maris right now.
Here's Bill Scowren who struck out in the first inning. Mick Powell holding first base against Roger Maris on deck Yogi Berra. One out infield and double play depth. Strickland guarding the third base foul line.
Pitch to the Mooses. Strike one is swinging a mess at a fast ball. And Perry really blazed that one in.
Scowren steps back out of the box. Now Moose back in ready to go. Frank Crissetti coaching at third and Ralph Hogg down at first for the Yankees.
Perry sets checks Maris throw to first. Roger back. Rick Powell who is really a fancy fielding first baseman. He can do magic with that first base glove.
Again the stretch. Pitch is strike two is swinging a mess and that was a bad high fast ball.
Moose again steps back out of the box. Played on by Anesta Shallock. That's her home plate. Now Scowren is back in.
Seems a little puzzled by the fact that Perry's still in the fast ball by him.
Nothing in two on Scowren. One away.
Perry sets again. Pitch curve hit on the ground to third and foul. Backhanded by George Strickland as Perry tried a sidearm scowren with a curve ball but the Moose was ready.
Cleveland one Yankees nothing in the bottom of the floor.
Here's a stretch. Quick throw to first Maris back in plenty of time.
Pitch to Scowren a high pop to the infield. Vic Powell is coming in the first baseman in foul territory. Makes the catch.
Vic came almost all the way into home plate to make that catch.
And Romano realizing how good power is with the glove. Let him have it. Here's Yogi Berra. Yogi fly deep to center in the second inning.
Two out. And you can see that Perry is pretty fast and as we told you before only one ground ball has been hit by the Yankee batters.
All the rest have been up in the air.
Two out. Maris leading off first base.
Strike a fastball on the inside part of the plate.
On deck Elton Howard swinging a couple of bats around.
Here's a stretch by Perry.
Pitch to Yogi. Popped in the air to the infield. Vic Powell. No now George Strickland the third baseman calling for it near the mound and makes the catch and he almost dropped it.
Perry was yelling for power to take it but it was on the third base side of the pitcher's box.
And another pop up by the Yankee batters. Perry blazing that fastball in making them pop it up for the Yankees in the bottom of the fourth.
No runs. No hits. No Cleveland errors. One man left and a score at the end of four full innings. Cleveland won and the Yankees nothing.
George Strickland who popped to Richardson in the second inning of the batter.
Pretty short out of the mound. The left-hander's first pitch is a curve inside ball one.
Cleveland got all three of their heads off short in the first inning. Two doubles and a single to score their one run.
Yankees have one base hit. Got a double by the lead off of the Coober. Pitch is a strike call on the outside corner.
Carol Hardy on deck.
Here's the one-one delivery. Slow curve is in there. Strike two call.
You know from here, from the stands that change up curve looks easy to hit but when you're up there at the plate
expecting a fastball or a fast breaking curve, that seems like it's stuck on your shoulder. You just can't break it away.
Pitch outside ball two, two and two.
Nobody out, nobody on here in the top of the fifth. Cleveland leads one-nothing.
The two-two delivery is lined inside first base. It's going down the corner for extra bases.
Strickland starts for second and then comes back.
As Roger Maris really feel of that ball quickly. It was deep in the right field corner inside Skaran and first base.
And yet Maris got over there and timed the whole Strickland to a long single.
Hit number four for the Cleveland Indians.
Strickland at first and Gil McDougal coming over to talk with Billy Shaw.
And that is Cal Hardy who bounced to Skaran in the second inning.
Nobody out, Moose holding first base against Strickland. Here's a stretch.
Inside ball one, Gil McDougal playing in at third.
Cal Hardy, the right hand hitting center fielder, takes a curve over for a called strike one-on-one.
JoJo White coaching at third base and Red Crest over at first for the Indians.
Johnny Temple is on deck but Jim Perry is due to be the next batter. Perry's not a bad hitting pitcher.
Short set, slow curve hit down to McDougal on one hop. Gil goes to Richardson for one, back to first. Double play.
And that's as deep a double play as you'll ever see as McDougal's feel of that ball. Just in fair territory.
When he threw it he was in foul territory. The long throw to Richardson who's quick really at a first nip.
Hardee who can go down the line.
That's the second double play of the ball game for New York.
And here's Jim Perry. Perry flying to center field in the third inning.
That was the 17th double play of the year for the Yankees. Perry takes a pitch low outside ball one.
Perry holds that bat right down on the end.
Curve low, ball two, two and nothing.
Two balls, no strikes, two outs. Nobody on top of the fifth. Cleveland won, the Yankees nothing.
First meeting of the year for these two teams.
They met in spring training but I mean regular season play. There's a fastball just above the knees for a called strike.
Short ready to wind up.
Fastball line to left field has a base hit. Yogi feels the ball on two hops and Perry's on with a line single to left.
That's the fifth hit off short.
And it brings up Johnny Temple who opened the ball game with a double.
Just inside third base.
Came around a score on hell's double down the right field line.
Temple got away to a slow start with Cleveland but now he's picking up.
Over 250. He was under 200 for quite a while.
Perry put the jacket on down at first base. Garland playing in back of the bag. There were two men out.
On deck Harvey Keynes.
Nothing in one to count on Chapel.
Pitch, low ball one one one.
Fido Francona one of the leading hitters on the Indians with a 317 average not in the lineup tonight.
I know the Yankees are quite happy about that.
Last year he ruined them in many a ballgame with some long base hits and timely singles.
One on one the count. Slow curve hit.
Just outside of third.
And the ball boys up with that one on Temple's first double the ball boy tried to feel the ball went right through his legs.
Had he touched the ball it would have been an automatic double and the umpire at third base Jim Honachek told the youngster don't get too excited or over excited when a ball's in play.
Never go after it. And of course you can't blame the kid down there.
Who wouldn't be excited being the ball boy at a big league ballgame.
One ball two strikes two outs. Jim Perry down at first base.
Here's a stretch by Billy Short. Fast ball low inside ball two two and two.
Cleveland leads one nothing here in the top of the fifth.
Billy Short goes to the Rosenberg and Elston Howard calls time and goes out to the mile.
Yankees have Barron left Mandlin center and Marison right and here comes Casey Stengel out of the Yankee dugout.
There could be something bothering Billy Short.
Yeah.
He heard his arm.
The umpire Mr. Schallach signaled and pointed to his left arm to tell the Cleveland bench.
That there was something wrong with short pitching arm.
And in the event the Yankees have to bring in a pitcher he will be allowed as much time as needed to warm up ordinarily when a relief pitcher comes in.
He's allowed just eight pitches.
And so Casey is walking out to the mound a little more now and it looks like he's going to call for somebody out of the bullpen.
So Jim Perry takes advantage of the break here and is walking slowly towards the Cleveland Indian dugout as is Johnny Temple.
Oh is the battle with a 2 2 count on him it's two out Cleveland means one nothing.
And that would really be a tough break to the Yankee pitching call with whitey Ford having a sore elbow and Bob Charlie who has been out for quite some time.
And it looks like Bullock Bob might be coming out to the mound just talking about Charlie who has been out quite some time from the last time he pitched.
So Billy Short.
Suddenly comes up with a little something wrong with his pitching arm.
Let's hope it's nothing serious Bob Charlie who has made just one appearance he started at Boston on April the 20th.
He was a losing pitcher he pitched just two innings gave up four hits and three walks and five runs.
So Charlie.
Making his second appearance of the year.
It's been almost three weeks.
Since Bob Charlie last pitch in the ballgame and here comes Billy Short off the mound and he gets a wonderful hand from the crowd here.
He has pitched real good ball in every game that he's been in for the Yankees.
He's won two and lost one.
And in the ballgame that he lost it was a heartbreaker down in Baltimore.
He lost that one two to one and Short drove in the only one of the game for the Yankees that night.
We can take another look at the scoreboard while we've got the time.
At the end of two and a half the Red Sox are still leading the White Sox 4 to nothing.
Early Wendell is having a rough time of it this year looking for his first win of the year.
He's in there for the White Sox and Vic Wurtz had a bases loaded homer up early in the first inning.
And then there's Marcel who is yet to lose this year is on the mound for the Red Sox.
Kansas City is leading Baltimore 10 to nothing at the end of five and a half innings all for Kansas City.
Wilhelm started Fisher in the fifth for Baltimore.
Vic Williams home in the fifth with the bases loaded so that's two bases loaded homers already this night.
And Detroit and Washington nothing nothing at the end of four and a half.
Morsey against Clevenger.
Tigers trying to break their losing streak.
They've lost 10 in a row up till tonight.
The National League Philadelphia San Francisco and Pittsburgh at Los Angeles start later on.
Cincinnati and Chicago postpone and that's a fifth straight postpone game for the Cubs at home.
St. Louis and Milwaukee not scheduled.
There is a rule here in the rule book for some of you who are interested.
The count is two and two two balls and two strikes.
And it says in the rule book that if when pitches are changed and the count is two and two charge that batter and his action to the relief pitcher.
In other words should Charlie walk this man he would be charged with the walk.
Or if he should strike him out Charlie will get the strike out.
Now that also goes at the count as one ball two strikes one ball one strike one ball no strike.
Or no ball two strikes and no ball in one strike.
So this batter is Bob Charlie.
Regardless of the count it's two and two.
Jim Perry comes out of the Cleveland dugout back to first base.
And Johnny Temple stepped out and comes into the batter's box.
Double checking the count with a play on fire.
That's the child like that's the holds up two fingers on each hand to and to the count.
Yogi Bear on left field has been talking to some of the fans.
That's Yogi's favorite past time.
So it's good to see Charlie back on the mound.
Perry leading off first two men out one nothing Cleveland leads here in the top of the fifth a stretch by Charlie.
That is low gets away from Howard but it is next to Charlotte's foot and stays right in McAvely a break for the Yankees.
And that Perry would easily have gone down to second base had the ball not hit Charlotte's right foot.
Full count now on Johnny Temple and of course with the pitch being two out Perry will be gone.
I had a full count on Johnny Temple.
Here's a stretch by Charlie.
Perry leading away.
There he goes.
The pitch is low outside ball four.
And that walk is charged up against Bob Charlie.
Perry down to second temple of first and here's Harvey Keene who has walked twice tonight.
Has not been up officially.
Keene remains at a 300 batting average the way he entered the game 15 for 50.
Three doubles and three runs batted in.
All right here's a stretch by Charlie.
The pitch to Keene is a strike ball the fastball right down the middle.
On deck is Jimmy Pierce.
Harriet second temple at first.
Nettle shading Keene over and right center field.
Maris not too deep and right.
Yogi straight away and left.
That's what hit in the ground to back to his left.
Go back out in front of the ball that was ready to flip it to Bobby Richardson.
When the ball kicked off his glove between his legs.
All hands are safe the bases are loaded.
And here's Jimmy Pierce all who has been up twice and bounce to the shortstop both time.
That was the first error in the ballgame.
On deck Woody Hill.
Charlie will now go to his regular wind up the pitch to Pierce all the pop in the air to short left field.
Yogi Barrett coming in signaling for it.
And the funny thing whenever balls hit the left field everybody stands up to see if Yogi is going to catch it.
But he did and for the Indians in the top of the fifth no runs on one base hit.
One Yankee era to hit rather.
One Yankee era and three men left on base.
In the bottom of the fifth inning Elton Hard Bobby Richardson and Bob Charlie will be coming up to face Jim Perry.
Perry is being allowed a few extra warm up tosses because of the delay.
Now he's ready the Indians fire the ball around the infield and Elton Hard who hit back to the box in the second inning the batter.
Alley is the only Yankee who has hit the ball on the ground in this ballgame.
One nothing the Indians leading the Yankees here in the bottom of the fifth.
This is a curve one and a miss right one one one.
One one delivery hit in the air to short center field.
Bobby Richardson fly the left field in the second inning a leadoff hitter for the Yankees double that was Tony Kubeck and Jim Perry has stifled the Yankees big bad since then.
Here's the pitch to Richardson check swing outside ball one.
There's a ball popped in the infield what he held the shortstop is moving under it and makes the catch.
And here's Bob Charlie.
Nobody on Cleveland one Yankees nothing bottom of the fifth.
First pitch to Charlie is a curve over for a false strike.
Right inside ball one one one.
One pitch is a curve over for a false strike to.
Here's the wind up.
Well, that's the first strike up up at the Yankees go down one to three nothing across and the bottom of the set and the score of the end of five for Lenny for Cleveland one run by hitting no errors and for the Yankees no runs one hit and one error.
top of the sixth what he held
who double the right to drive
in the only one of the ballgame
when he drove in Johnny Temple
that was in the first inning and
in the fourth inning he bounced
out to build scar.
Charlie's first pitch is a ground
ball.
Kubeck to his right up with a
long throw in center for the
out.
That was a nice play by Kubeck
who went deep to his right.
Came up with a short hop to throw
out what he held out one away
has that power beat out an
infield single and then fly to
left here.
Our leads the Indians in batting
into the game batting three
thirty eight Johnny Temple who
doubles the lead off the ball
game.
Crease his consecutive game
hitting three to ten in a row
first pitch to the car is popped
in the air right in front of the
plate.
Right around near the pitches
box McDougal under it and make
the catch right on the mound.
The ball went up it looked like
it was going to be right in
front of all plays but it
carries.
So that's two pitches and two out
Johnny Romano line back to the
box in the second inning and
bounce the third and the fourth
pitch to Romano you have nobody
on first pitch to Romano with a
strike.
So two outside normal fairly
assault.
Three pitches this inning to
men out in the first one a call
Ramon.
Up in the air.
Now it's amazing.
But it looks like it's going
back into the stands out of play
after this.
And a fan put his coat up and
it hit in the coat.
But it didn't stay and look like
it went right through the
sleeve.
Once then and back up third base
try to catch it with his hat a
little while ago.
They don't try and catch him
with their bare hands.
Easy way to get a broken finger.
Nothing and true on Ramon.
Two out and nobody on.
Cleveland won Yankees nothing.
Top of the fifth inning.
Charlie into the windup.
There is a little bit high ball
on one ball to strike one ball
to strike pitches like three
playing after a high fastball
and Charlie really fired that
high on one which is a good time
for Cleveland in the top of the
sixth.
No runs no hits no Yankee errors
nobody left the score at the end
of five and a half innings the
Yankees one rather Cleveland
one and the Yankees nothing.
Did you ever see a great
baseball player who didn't
practice course.
But it takes two things talent
and practice to make a good ball
player.
You know it takes two things to
make a great beer.
A lightness is fine but
lightness alone won't do it.
To really refresh a beer must
have lightness plus flavor and
that's your cue to ask the man
for the crisp refresher
Valentine beer.
You see Valentine proves to more
people every day that a beer can
be light and still give you all
the lager beer flavor you want.
The fact is Valentine is a light
beer with two lager flavor and
it's delicious light lager flavor
is what makes Valentine beer the
crisp refresher.
So if you drink beer for taste
and refreshment then Mr.
Valentine's a beer for you.
Try it.
See for yourself why
Valentine is the most popular
beer from Maine to Florida.
The largest selling beer in the
East.
Treat yourself to the crisp
refresher right now.
Report on Billy Short is that he
felt a slight strain throughout
the game in his elbow.
Didn't get any better while he
was pitching so he decided to
stop pitching.
And right now it's not thought
to be too serious.
Billy felt that there was
something not quite right even
though he was pitching a good
ballgame and he was wise enough
to call a halt.
I Tony Kugel hits the ground
ball at second base Johnny
temple up with it on the first
pitch over the big power one
away.
Kugel is the only man to have a
base hit against Perry so far
tonight.
One out is Gil McDougal slide
to left and fly to right and
that's only the second ball hit
on the ground off very in the
ballgame.
On deck Mickey Mantle.
Very takes time to go back to
the rosin bag.
Are you having a little trouble
reading Ramon O'Shaughnessy.
Now he's got it.
One one pitch curve low outside
ball to two one.
Here's a two one delivery
strike to swing in the midst at
a high curve ball.
Gil walks all around the play.
That's his usual straw.
Two balls two strikes one out
nobody on.
Leave them one Yankees nothing
bottom of the sixth.
Pitch is hit on the ground.
Why the third backhanded nicely
by Strickland but the foul sign
given by third base umpire Jim
Hunter said.
Two and two on go.
Pitch strike three he checked
his swing but the ball had part
of the plate.
He pulled the string on McJugel
for his fourth strike out of the
ballgame.
And here's Mickey Mantle.
Mickey has walked and fly to
the bottom of the plate.
Two men out.
Pitch is a strike call.
Mickey had walked out of the
box didn't ask for time.
And remember you must ask the
time Mickey just walked out of
the box and Harry went right on
through with the pitcher was a
curve over the plate and played
on by and that's the child like
this strike one and Mickey was
standing outside the batter's
box watching it.
There's a wind up pitch inside
ball one one a mark.
Something you very seldom see
in a batter's step out of the
box and pitch a pitch and get
the ball over.
Harry shakes off one time.
He's got the one one one pitch
is popped in the air to left
field Jimmy Piazol moving in
under the ball and makes the
catch for the third out.
So for New York in the bottom of
the six no runs no hits no
Indian errors nobody left in the
score at the end of six full
innings Cleveland one in the
Yankees nothing and Harry has
retired eight men in a row he
had retired nine men in a row
before he walked Roger Maris in
the fourth inning and since he
walked Maris he's retired eight
men in a row.
So he is really pitching a
tremendous game for the
Cleveland Indians.
Another look at the scoreboard
in the American League at the
end of three innings now the
Red Sox scored another run they
lead five nothing win against
Kassel but now in the fourth
inning Roy Severs home it and
Al Smith home and with a man on
so it's a five to three ball
game and Sullivan has come on to
relieve Kassel a white doctor
still batting in the top of the
fourth with the Red Sox leading
five to three Vic Wirtz home in
the first with three on for the
Red Sox Kansas City leads
Baltimore 10 nothing at the end
of seven and a half all against
Fisher Wilhelm was knocked out
Dick Williams home in the fifth
with the bases loaded for Kansas
City Detroit and Washington
Aaron a pitcher's battle Mosby
against Clevinger it's nothing
nothing at the end of six and in
the National League Philadelphia
San Francisco Pittsburgh at Los
Angeles start later on
Cincinnati Chicago postponed at
the fifth straight postponed
game for the Cubs at home and
St. Louis and Milwaukee not
scheduled and we're ready to go
here in the top of the seventh
inning and ready to go is Mel
Allen hello there everybody
it's the first of the seven one
to nothing in favor of the
Indians it's the bottom third of
the Cleveland order in the
seventh George Strickland
leading off Hardy and Perry to
follow surely in relief of short
to the wind up and the pitch in
therefore strike Strickland pop
the second and single the right
and the curve is outside for a
ball they got a sign up there
short separate in the right as
in the left elbow one ball one
strike on Strickland and the
pitch high and inside two and one
and the Indians scored in the
first inning for those of you
may have tuned in late Johnny
Temple opened the game with a
double and with two out what he
held double him home to back
open the last of the first of
the double that's been the only
hit off Jim Perry Germany's 2 1
pitch swung on to high fly ball
and through left center man on
moods under it makes the catch
and there's one away now Carol
Hardy grounded the first and
grounded the third and the third
and a double play Jim Perry to
follow the Yankees overall the
team had been really hitting the
ball this was really the first
game this year that they have
been to do the pitch swung on and
popped up to short to back under
it already running it out catch
made by Kubek for the second out
and Jim Perry will get a hand he
comes out of the dugout because
they'll beat the Yankees with one
run up in Boston but nobody has
pitched as well against them as
Perry has tonight here's a hand
for him he's a switch hitter
against the left hander Billy
Shorty fly to right and single
the left now he's batting left
handed against Charlie takes a
good cut up there Charlie's
pitch fastball is low ball one
Bob's next delivery fastball is
inside around the letters ball
to do nothing to nothing count on
Perry and the pitch inside for
ball three three nothing account
on a slender pitcher Johnny
Temple to follow Bob Charlie
comes in with a pitch and it's
over for strike three and one
account very takes a look at Joe
Joe White down at third see
whether Joe Gordon's got him
swinging or as the big sign on
the three one pitch swung on hit
by the mound Richard's not back a
second up but it throws the
first and I really moved down the
line science retired no runs no
hits no errors no one left on the
pitch and a half running Cleveland
one New York nothing.
With.
The.
Last half of the seventh inning
Roger Maris heading fourth in the
order leads off with scouring on
deck and Barrett to follow Jim
Perry who pitched his best game
in the first night game of the
year at Yankee Stadium last year
in relief as retired 18 out of
the last 20 men he faced gave up
a hit to do back to lead off the
game and walk two men set a pitch
to Roger Maris one on his foul
foul ball a line drive down the
right field line in the stands
like one.
Perry has retired eight in a row
and 18 out of the last 20
years the pitch high for a ball
Maris started to bond.
One one count one to nothing
Cleveland last of the seven right
hander to the wind up in comes the
pitch right in there like to one
and two just laid down and then
I think Roger was looking for
that one to count took a little
bit off his fastball.

Albany New York Elston Howard
heading seventh in the order
leads off he hits the box and
flies to center Richardson on
deck and Charlie schedule Apollo
Jim Perry Perry the magnificent
tonight into the wind up and the
pitch is in there strike one he
has used his fastball to good
advantage but not terribly often
he has mixed it in with his
curves and sliders and changes up
change ups but he may go to the
fastball a lot now curve is
low outside for a ball one ball
one strike the one one pitch
swung on there's a drive to deep
left look out that ball is going
going it is gone high ball game
Elston Howard picked out a fast
ball and timed it and sent it on
a parking line and the left field
seat for the first hit off Perry
sent to back let off in the first
inning and it's one and one
Howard's fourth homer of the
year Richardson fly to left and
pop the short he swings and
files it off upstairs like one
board but both by Howard so it's
one one strike on shortened up
with Richardson at bat protect
against the bus possibility now
period of the wind up delivers
and it's high and inside and
Bobby did have a button motion
he's tried to button had to
really get out of there to get
a board being hit one ball one
strike the one one pitch swung
on line a great shot by
Strickland he leaps and grabs
the ball of a line drive hit by
Bobby Richardson George
Strickland reached as high as
you could go to grab that one
just as what he held it off the
bat of scour in the seventh
inning Bob Curley is due to bat
and I believe he'll be coming
out tremendous play by George
Strickland to take the base set
away from Richardson and that
would have been a double at
least because Richardson rather
Strickland was playing close to
the line play was all the better
but remember he was playing in
an anticipation of a possible
month they delivered it early
swung on and missed strike one
curbing to back on deck
pitch swung on and missed strike
two another curve
no balls two strikes
and the delivery swung on and
fouled off to the right of the
plate out of play and the lower
stands the Indians in the
ninth inning
held and power and Romano do
up here's the pitch and it's
inside for a ball
a one to count on Charlie one
away one run in the eighth one
won the score very pitch swung on
and fouled off to the right of
one ball two strikes in comes the
next pitch and it's inside for
ball to two to
here's the two to deliberate
swung on lined in the left and
there's all and it's over and
there goes Kelly heading for
the two and he'll hold up with
two bases Jimmy Pearsall
misjudged it the ball was hit
hard he started in and then had
to go back and it sailed by and
for a double
Jimmy Pearsall who is generally
a you know a real top flight
fielder didn't pick it up the
ball was a liner and Jimmy
started in on it and then when
he started to go back a little
late
for most players that would have
been a triple
so Charlie now is on second the
batter is too bad to double the
right line to right center and
grounded the second
Romano goes out to talk to Perry
one away in the eight early on
second to back it back
very getting a sign from Romano
into the stretch and the pitch
ball one outside
about a half speed pitch
Charlie leading away from second
not too big a lead and the pitch
swung on line drive basically
the left center but Charlie will
not go I don't believe here's a
throw he's held at third and in
the second goes to back
go back singles to left and take
second on the throw to the plate
Charlie didn't have much of a
lead as we were telling you and
hard line at left center
and over got the ball and fired
high to the plate enabling
Kubek to go to second out of the
dugout now comes Joe Gordon
the flash goes out to talk to Jim
Perry and we'll see whether or not
he makes a change
Gordon out the mound with Romano
and Perry
and the signal goes out for the
relief pitcher left handed
Charlie comes on into the dugout
to rest awhile
well we have to wait and see
could be Dick could be Dick
Stigman who is it? No. Dick
Stigman I think
Dick Stigman who was with San
Diego last year worked in forty
five games
six foot three two hundred pounder
from a town called Nimrod in
Minnesota
this is his fifth appearance and
he's won one and lost one
relieved twice and started twice
beat Kansas City three to one and
a start May 1st and lost to
Baltimore in his last start nine
two
Jim Perry will soon depart and
fans will give him a nice hand
he pitched tremendous ball up to
the center of the inning
Howard's home run sort of shook
him a little
and the misjudgment of Charlie's
liner got him into further trouble
the fans respond with a warm
round of applause for Jim Perry
who put on quite a show tonight
in seven and one third innings
pitching he allowed four hits
three in this inning
walked two struck out four so far
just been charged with one run
got into a little trouble after
that and then a solid homer
four hundred foot plus drive in
the left field seats to open the
eighth for the second hit and the
person's the first inning
Richardson was robbed of at least
a double on a tremendous play by
Strickland and then Charlie's
liner apparently in his judge by
first all went for a double
Bob didn't take too much of a
lead off second and on the base
hit that followed by Kubek into
the center he only got as far as
third but Curse all
racing into the gap and making a
fine throw to the plate on which
Kubek
raced the second
Dick Stigman a left hander
this is the case if this is a case
of where a manager doesn't play it
by the book and a lot of managers
don't go by the book exactly
as they do all the time but
Stigman is a fellow who's got
good curve good slider and keeps
the ball low and that's what
they're trying to do get somebody
here now make them hit on the
ground McDougall fly into left
and right and take a third strike
Charlie on third
Kubek on second one out
infield in for play at the plate
to wind up by the left hander in
the pitch in there for strike
now the pitch just outside for a
ball one and one Stigman gives you
a lot of motion out there
and big fella six three 200 pounds
24 years old
infield in
Charlie leads off third Kubek off
second one out the left hander to
the wind up and the pitch McDougall
swings and misses sinker ball one
and two
one and two the count on McDougall
runners on second and third relief

Mantle who walks fly to center and
fly to left
two men down
two men away
Stigman into the wind up here's the
pitch to Mantle swung on and missed

thinker throws a ball up there and it
just think
very much like Jerry Staley on Sunday
infield back at normal depth
one strike
Stigman of the wind up and the pitch
it's low and inside for a ball blocked
by Romano almost a wild pitch one and
one
we're a lot about Stigman and spring
training engines trained in Arizona
first time we've seen him work
gives you a big motion
throw some wicked breaking stuff out
there
Charlie on third and go back on second
with two outs one all last of the eight
now the pitch hits outside ball to two
and one
Romano looks over into the Cleveland
dugout
gives his sign to the Dick Stigman
left-hander and relief of Perry

Mantle takes ball three low and outside

Charlie on third go back on second two

Polk out on Mantle
Stigman wants a new ball to throw
wind up and the payoff pitch and Mantle
takes high ball for Roger Maris walking
up for the bases loaded
throughout

the second
Mantle had a 13 game hitting streak on
the line tonight and he has failed to hit
the walk twice two outs and Roger Maris

Howard open the inning with a homer to
tie the score and since then the Yankees
have been trying to go ahead they got
to carry out
and the bases loaded in two outs and one
ball and two strikes the count on Roger
Maris here's the wind up the pitch and
Maris takes just outside
there's a wicked curve body laid off
two balls two strikes
relief pitcher Dick Stigman
leans forward goes to the wind up

in the last of the night Yankees will
have scowl and Barra and Howard coming up
and I hope you've got some Valentine
beer coming up an exciting ballgame
yoga getting a hand he comes in let's
have a quick look at the lighter side of
sports how about trying these on for
size the golfer playing a hundred degree
heat hit a ball that traveled all of 75
yards before it suddenly exploded in mid
air and started a grass fire man it was
dry and then there was a famous
university that set a new high in the
care of its athletes that ensured the
thumb of each member of its tiddly
Winx team for $700 got a hand it to him
well let's turn from the lighter side of
sports to the lighter side of beer and
that means Valentine of course
Valentine is the light beer with true
log of flavor lightness and log of beer
flavor two good reasons why folks from
Maine to Florida have made Valentine the
largest selling beer in the East how
about you refresh with a crisp
picture soon
Nick Stigman the six foot three left
hander who came in and put the fire out
before it could
do any damage after Howard Homer
made Paul Perry to tie the score
you have a rough spot for him to be in
bases loaded and three and two on the
batter he's ready to pitch the scour
and struck out foul of the catcher and
lined to short in comes the pitch
swung on grounded out to short and it
is grabbed by held the throw in time
one away
Yogi Barrow be coming up he flied to
right center the third and grounded the
second
there digs in Dick Stigman swings to the
wind up around comes the left arm the
pitch is high ball one
the one nothing pitch on its way to
Yogi in their strike one one and one
the one one pitch to Barrow swung on
play fly ball in the short center temple
going out and he's got it
two away and here's Elston Howard who
Homer to keep the Yankees in the ball
and he's got him the eighth inning
he had hit to the box and fly to center
and let off in the eighth with a line
drive Homer into the left field stand
two down last to the ninth one and one
the score
Dick Stigman to the wind up around comes
the left arm and the pitch is in their
strike one fastball
the next delivery swung on lined out in
the right center for a base hit and
Howard turned first back headed nicely by
Keane the four in the second Howard's in
there with a double
now they are going to put Richardson on
and that's the Charlie I believe
Bobby Richardson who fly to left pop
short in line the third I believe will
be put on first base
you'll be intentionally fast ball one
and the second one
Bobby's or a team they could reach the
ball and the third one
now the fourth one so Richardson is
purposely fast
and Casey and I have to decide whether he
wants to leave turn in there or not
been pitching well
with two out he may make a move we'll
see
the Lopez is going to hit for him
all the game situation is forced Casey
to send up a pinch hitter with two out
for Charlie who in relief of short
after short stain his elbow work for and
one third innings of hitless ball
one struck out one and didn't allow any
runs
and now Ken Hunt's going into run for
Howard Howard getting a hand he leaves
Ken Hunt running for Howard
two outs in the last of the night on
second Richardson on first one and one
the score
Dick Stigman to the stretch the pitch in
there for a strike
no balls one strike two down
left hander again to the stretch here's
the pitch swung on grounded down first
and a throw is in time to first base to
the pitcher who covers and the side
retires
Lopez rounded a big power deep at first
Stigman got over and took the throw to
retire the side no runs one hit no errors
and two left on Yogi Berra will switch
from left field to the plate and Ryan
Duran is coming in to pitch
for those of you who tuned in late in
the first inning temple double keen
walk first all wrapped into a double
play temple going to third scored on
held double and on my last of the first
two back open with a double and that's
the last hit the Yankees got until the
eighth inning when Howard Homer the
Yankees then loaded the bases Stigman
having a relieved Harry and Stigman got
the side out or the Yankees having a
chance of the bases loaded in the three
to count on Maris before he popped up in
the inning and then of course the last
of the ninth situation where the
winning run was on second to us and
Stigman kept that from coming home while
what Ryan Duran loosens up we'll pause
for station identification you are tuned
to 1460 on the radio dial this is WOK
Oh Albany New York the time in five
seconds 1045 present temperature is 58
degrees now on the 10th inning Joe
Gordon is making his move in the switch
department Bob Hale will bat for George
Strickland the left-hand batter Hale
hitting for Strickland he's a guy with
power and then you're going to have a
big rookie Walt Bond a six foot six
left-hand batter coming up to hit for
Carol Hardy
Bob Hale who's two for six
as the power hitters though as well
bond Ryan Duran coming on in the pen
Bob Turley who took over for short in
the fifth with two outs showed his best
form of the year but Casey had to take
him out for the pinch hitter with a
possibility of getting a hit to win the
game the last of the night was not
forthcoming and so in the tenth and
here's Bob Hale up Ryan Duran to the
wind up and the pitch swung on hit foul
down the left field line out of play
strike one
during six the relief appearance last
worked against Kansas City on Friday

rookie you've heard so much about
Walter Bond six feet six he made the
jump from writing to this club with
some sensational spring hitting
he's had 13 for 51 including three
homers and 12 runs batted in
a menacing figure at the plate for
that big bad the heaviest in the league
he can whip it during to the wind up
and the pitch swung on in this back
line or he took a cut at a real good
fastball
if he ever makes connection he's going
to really send that one soaring in
orbit
no balls one strike
urine into the wind up around comes the
right arm the pitch looked out and hit
bond and hit him somewhere on the hand
I don't know where it hit him he gets
up and while he box the trainer comes

right-handed McDougal comes in in the
event of a bunch
Stigman's had one for three this season
throw over to first bonds back
during to the stretch bond with lead

him hitter will commit himself and see
if they'll square around a bin bunning
position so far he hasn't here's the
pitch and it's inside for a ball one

Jimmy is running around the bases
and the Indians come up with a four run
ten thinning and they lead five to one
it's almost a replay of Sunday's game
with the White Sox Jimmy Pearsall hits a
home run to the opposite field his first
of the year a three run homer and now
here's what he held right hand batter
and the pitch high and inside ball one
two out rally by the Indians and they
