1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
The Pittsburgh Pirates faced the New York Mets for a Monday night game at Shea Stadium on June 26, 1967.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:17,000
The Pirates were an above average team, coming off back-to-back 90-win seasons in 1965 and 66, led by manager Harry Walker.

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:29,000
The Mets, on the other hand, were still terrible, although their 66-95 record in 1966 was the first time in team history that they did lose more than 109 games.

4
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:37,000
This audio recording is from the New York Radio broadcast featuring announcers Bob Murphy, Ralph Keiner, and Lindsay Nelson.

5
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
A shot put by Matty Alou, and he's on for a base hit.

6
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Now Bob Shaw is completely unprepared for that.

7
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,000
A shocking start is Matty Alou. What a magician he is at handling that bat.

8
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Pencessional bunter. He bunted that ball so beautifully, Shaw never got off the mound.

9
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Trainball went for the ball. First base was wide open. They had no chance to get him.

10
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,000
A bunting single by Matty Alou, and it brings up Mari Wills.

11
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Wills hitting 295. Now Shaw checks the runner at first. Here's the pitch on the way, and it's a called strike on the inside corner.

12
00:01:50,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Wills has been handicapped to play. He has missed a number of ball games due to an injured knee.

13
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Mari Swisher. Leon Jones, the left-center fielder, playing Wills to hit the ball to the opposite field. He plays him in rather shallow left-center field.

14
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Now the pitch by Shaw. Now it's toward the middle. Hustling for it is Buchak. He can't make a play.

15
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:22,000
He backhands toward his glove and knocks it down, and everybody is safe. That's an infield hit for Mari Wills.

16
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Buchak had a very difficult chance. He had to reach across the body and try and make a backhand pick up on that short hop near second base.

17
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Had he been able to come up with the ball, he would have had a play made easily in second base. It was a very tough hop, and it is a base hit for Wills.

18
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:48,000
So now on a one-single and an infield hit, the Pirates have two on, nobody out, and Roberto Clemente coming up.

19
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Clemente leading the National League in batting. Roberto is hitting.350.

20
00:02:52,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Twelve home runs and 49 runs batted in. And the curve outside, ball one.

21
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Almost before the crowd can get settled into their seats, the Pirates have a threat.

22
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Manny Jimenez, the left fielder, batting clean up, waiting on deck.

23
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Now the pitcher Clemente, bounced toward the middle, moving forward is Haraldson. He steps on second, he throws to first, in time, double play.

24
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Roberto Clemente hitting into a double play, engineered by Bud Haraldson.

25
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Now the hitter is Jimenez, the left fielder.

26
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,000
He has recently been recalled from Columbus of the International League, where he was hitting.338 with seven home runs.

27
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Willie Stardill, the Pirates' regular left fielder, and the Pirates' ace left hand pitcher Bob Beale, both flew back to Pittsburgh this evening.

28
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Beale's elbow has been bothering him. Stardill has a bad shoulder right now.

29
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Both are expected to rejoin the Pirates in Chicago on Wednesday. It is taken high, one ball and no strikes.

30
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Jimenez, three for nine, is joining the Pirate Ball Club, batting.333.

31
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:25,000
To make room for Jimenez, outfielder George Briggs was sent to Columbus.

32
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Now Bob Shaw, out of his windup, here's the pitch on the way, off the outside corner, two balls and no strikes.

33
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Matty Allou is on third, two men down, we're in the top half of the opening inning.

34
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Johnny Pesky on the coaching lines at first, Al Gramis coaching at third.

35
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Now the pitch, fastball, a strike in the inside corner, it's two and one.

36
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Boy, what a beautiful night for a ballgame.

37
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:01,000
An afternoon game tomorrow at two o'clock, and a lot going on before the game tomorrow.

38
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Pitching two and one, he is hit by the pitch. That one got away from Shaw and got Jimenez on the right leg.

39
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Now runners on first and third, two men down, the hitter is Don Glenn Dunham, the first baseman.

40
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Don Glenn Dunham batting.246.

41
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Glenn Dunham, 6 home runs,.25 runs batted in. Ball, rangey right hand batter, a swing and a missed strike one.

42
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Big Don hit.299 last year.

43
00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Well, Mr. Leo DeRosier, Chicago Cubs, won again today. They now have won seven straight.

44
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,000
At the moment, the Cubs are only three and a half out of first place.

45
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Swing and a missed on a slider in the count strike two.

46
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Runners at first and third, two men out.

47
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Dennis Bennett, newest member of the Nuts Pitching staff, is on hand and will work tomorrow.

48
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Just a little bit high, Shaw thought he had him struck out, one ball, two strikes.

49
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Paul Steiner is umpiring behind home plate, Al Barley gets first, Augie Donatelli is second and Stan Landis is third.

50
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,000
The Mets have Jack Lemabe warming up in the bullpen.

51
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Now the pitch on the way, breaking ball just off the outside corner.

52
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Those last two pitches, just missing. Jerry Grody turns around to talk to Steiner about that one.

53
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
It's two and two on Don Glenn Dunham.

54
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Mattie Allou is on third and Manny Jimenez on first.

55
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Now Shaw looking in to get his sign from battery mate Jerry Grody.

56
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,000
The infield has dragged to left. Now the pitch on the way and the curve is popped up.

57
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:24,000
On the right side of the diamond, Ed Cranepool in toward the mound is under it and Eddie has it beside his eye.

58
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Bob Shaw pitching out of a jam in the opening inning.

59
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000
No runs, two hits, no errors, two left on.

60
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,000
And the score in the middle of the first, the Pirates snubbing, the New York Mets coming to bat.

61
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Now here's a word from Rango.

62
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:54,000
March 1967, New York City under the pounding of a North Atlantic storm.

63
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,640
A

64
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:03,000
The

65
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Harbor

66
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
comes aboard to give the little lady a hand.

67
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
What a slow hand, buddy.

68
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,000
The most dangerous time is to bring these ships into the harbor.

69
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,000
You see the pilot, the captain of the ship doesn't do this, but this is the pilot's job.

70
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,000
It's the pilot's job. It's not easy.

71
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Sometimes the view from the bridge can be pretty bleak.

72
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,000
If you're going to take charge in New York, you've got to be good.

73
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,000
There are 302 beers trying to make it in New York City,

74
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,000
but the only one that's made it to the top is the rich dry lager Ringo.

75
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Ringo, in this town either you have it or you don't.

76
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Pitching for the Pirates tonight, right-hander Steve Blass.

77
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Steve is from Lakeville, Connecticut.

78
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,000
25 year old right-hander

79
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,000
stands 6'1", weighs 165.

80
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Last year with Pittsburgh Blass 111 and lost 7.

81
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000
This year he has won 2 and lost 2.

82
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:16,000
He has a lifetime record against the New York Mets of no wins and one loss.

83
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Bud Harrelson batting left-handed leading off against Blass.

84
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:26,000
The young right-hander from Connecticut fires a fastball, though it's ball one.

85
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Pittsburgh has Don Glenn Dunn in playing first, Bill Masurowski in second,

86
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Gene Alley is in short, and Mari Wills in close against Bud Harrelson at third.

87
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Now Harrelson, blessed a bunt, doesn't offer, and the pitcher's low ball to it's 2-0.

88
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,000
In the far right outfield, Manny Jimenez in left.

89
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,000
The center fielder is Matty Allou and around it right field, Roberto Clemente.

90
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Jerry May behind the plate handling Steve Blass.

91
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Waiting on deck for New York, Cleon Jones.

92
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Pitching 2-0, fastball in, a call strike gets 2-1.

93
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Joe Brown, the general manager of the Pittsburgh club, watching the ball game this evening here at Shea from his field box.

94
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Right now he's talking baseball with his scout supervisor for the New England area, Bobby Whalen.

95
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Inside and low, 2-3 and 1.

96
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Bobby Whalen signed Steve Blass to his first pro baseball contract.

97
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:34,000
So he is more than just lightly interested in the progress of Steve Blass.

98
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:45,000
3-1 delivery, it is over for a strike 3-2.

99
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,000
3-2 on the leadoff batter Bud Harrelson.

100
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Bud hitting 2-41, stands up toward the front of the batter's box, chokes up on the handle of the bat, and the pitch to him, a ground ball and a shortstop.

101
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Gene Alley bobbles the ball and Harrelson is on.

102
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Bud Harrelson reaches on the air, chars to the shortstop, Gene Alley, and it brings up Cleon Jones.

103
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Cleon was wielding a big bat in the series against the Atlanta Braves over the weekend.

104
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Over the last five ball games, Cleon has done well.

105
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,000
He's at 3-81, breaking ball outside and lowest ball one.

106
00:11:49,000 --> 00:12:04,000
In his last five games, Cleon has gone 8 for 21, raising his average from 177 to 202.

107
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:09,000
Tomorrow, a battle of left-handers, Woody Freiman, pitching against Dennis Bennett.

108
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Here's the pitch on the way. The runner goes, a swing in the middle, it's the peg, the second to slide, out.

109
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Harrelson on a hip-first slide, it's fagged out by Gene Alley.

110
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Strong throw by catcher Jerry May, it covered the ground in a hurry.

111
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:49,000
One ball, one strike on Cleon, blast the right-hander, winds and pitches, and a high pop-up into short right field,

112
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:56,000
calling for it is Mazurasky. And on the rim of the outfield grass, Maz makes the catch.

113
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:02,000
By the way, the filming for the movie, Ad Couple, which will take place here at Chase Video tomorrow,

114
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:09,000
will run from 1-30 until 1-55. The ball game between the Mets and Parrots starts at 2 p.m.

115
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,000
The Mets will be on the field for the triple play, hit and two by Roberto Clemente,

116
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,000
with Mario Wills, Vern Law, and Mattie Allou on the bases.

117
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:24,000
The crew and equipment will begin to assemble at shale about 11 tomorrow morning.

118
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:39,000
Now the pitch, low and outside, one ball and no strikes. Ken Boyer hitting, Ken batting 2-22.

119
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Slow grounder, foul down the first-base line.

120
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Philadelphia Phillies applied the breaks to the Cardinals yesterday, sweeping 2 from St. Louis.

121
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Reds lost the single game to Pittsburgh 5-4. So the Reds in second place are now 2-1 half games back.

122
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,000
The Cubs won their afternoon game. At the moment, they're just 3-1 half games out of first.

123
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:20,000
And the Parrots, 6 games back. Foul ball, it's slowly over toward the dugout, no play.

124
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:26,000
In the afternoon game at Wrigley Field, the Cubs beat the Phillies, 4-2, and the Cubs now have won 7 straight.

125
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,000
The winning pitcher was left-hander Rich Nye.

126
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Cal Kuntz came on in the 6th inning and Johnny Hartnestein in the 9th.

127
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,000
The loser was Turk Farrell, who was given a start by manager Gene Marks.

128
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000
And Billy Williams and Ron Santo both hit home runs.

129
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Look out, foul ball back into the TV booth, no play.

130
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,000
That one came pretty close to Lindsey's ear.

131
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,000
The 1-2 delivery and the fastball is over, strike three call.

132
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,000
The Mets are out of their half of the first inning.

133
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,000
No runs, no hits, one error, and none left on.

134
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,000
And at the end of one inning, the score, the Parrots nothing, and the New York Mets nothing.

135
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Ralph?

136
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000
I don't forget that special night, July 20th.

137
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:24,000
That Thursday night, the Mets playing against the Houston Astros, and it will be hell of a night here at Chase Stadium.

138
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:33,000
Every boy and girl 16 years of age or under will receive a replica of the Mets batting helmet as he or she enters the ballpark.

139
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Once again, that day, Thursday night, July 20th, helmet night.

140
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:45,000
I'd like to remind you that bus service from Brooklyn and Staten Island is available for fans living in Brooklyn and Staten Island.

141
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Express bus service to Chase Stadium.

142
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:57,000
Buses leaving from Flatbush Avenue and Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn and from Bay Street and Burl Place in Staten Island.

143
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Two hours before game time, and buses departing back from Gatey here at Chase Stadium up to 30 minutes after the ballgame.

144
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Express bus service from Brooklyn and Staten Island and back from Chase Stadium.

145
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Now we're going to the top of the second, once again, Bob Murphy.

146
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,000
All right, Ralph, Bill Mazurowski will be up against Bob Shaw.

147
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,000
The Dodgers are playing at Cincinnati tonight.

148
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Flauto has seen nine and seven, pitching against Mel Queen.

149
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Mel has won eight and lost two.

150
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,000
The Giants open a big series tonight at St. Louis.

151
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Here's the pitcher on the way.

152
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Curveball is over.

153
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:38,000
Strike one call.

154
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,000
In the American League, the Yankees play tonight at Kansas City.

155
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000
It'll be Fred Talbot against Paul Lindblad.

156
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:49,000
The White Sox play at Baltimore. Bruce Howard for the White Sox and Pete Rickards for the Orioles.

157
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Swing and a miss on the slider in the count strike two.

158
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:58,000
The Red Sox are playing at Minnesota and the Senators will be on the west coast playing the Angels at Anaheim.

159
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:10,000
The All-Star game will be played in Anaheim this year on the 11th of July, the home of the California Angels.

160
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Two-strike delivery off the outside corner, ball left.

161
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Bill Mazurowski batting at 283.

162
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Now the windup by Shaw. Here's the pitch off the outside corner, two and two.

163
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:49,000
I would imagine that when the votes have been calculated for the All-Star team, Bill Mazurowski might very well be the All-Star second baseman again.

164
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:56,000
The 2-2 delivery, a slow grounder going foul down the third baseline.

165
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Ron Hunt will draw considerable attention. Ron's batting average is up over 300.

166
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:12,000
He's been playing day in and day out for the Dodgers.

167
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,000
Now the windup by Shaw, the 2-2 pitch, swung on and a miss. He struck him out.

168
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Shaw fans Mazurowski. That brings up the shortstop, Gene Alley.

169
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Alley, like Mazurowski, I'm sure garnered a number of votes in the balloting for the All-Star game.

170
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Alley hitting 279 has four home runs and 24 runs batted in.

171
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:50,000
He hit a surprising 299 last year. They play on the step to left in the outfield, the pitch on the way. He tries to bunt, but misses strike one.

172
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:57,000
In the season series, the New York Mets lead the Pittsburgh Pirates four games to two.

173
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:04,000
One of the most exciting nights of the year, the Mets swept Pittsburgh a doubleheader at Corbsfield.

174
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Swing and a miss, and the count is strike two.

175
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Now Shaw with a two-strike count. Here's the pitch on the way. Over his head, he has to duck under it.

176
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:45,000
On the 6th of June, the Mets swept a Twilight Knight doubleheader at Corbsfield, winning the first game 1-0.

177
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Tom Seaver, Ron Taylor, and Don Shaw combined for the shutout.

178
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:04,000
The Mets won the night cap 3-2. Jack Hamilton was the winner in relief, and Elroy Fates was the loser in both games of that doubleheader.

179
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Dick Salma had pitched the first six. Bill Dunahee won them, and Hamilton the last three.

180
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:16,000
The ball hit down to third. It comes up on a big hop for Boyer. The throw to Crane Boiler's end time, retiring Gene Alex.

181
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:31,000
That one started out as a grass cutter, and hit a little pebble or something out there, and popped conveniently right up in the middle of Kenny Boyer.

182
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:44,000
The batter is Jerry May. May hitting 3-13. He has won the number one backstopping job from the veteran Jim Valeroni, and he takes a fastball on the inside corner for a called strike.

183
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Parrots carrying just two catchers. They send Jesse Gander to Columbus on the acquired Al Luplo from the New York Mets.

184
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Now Shaw swings out of his windup, the pitch to May. A slow breaking ball just off the outside corner. One ball, one strike.

185
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:21,000
Bob Shaw has a lifetime record against Pittsburgh of six wins and eight losses.

186
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Out of the windup by Shaw and the pitch, fastball brushes him away from the plate. Two balls and one strike to Jerry May, the number eight hitter and the batting winner.

187
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:39,000
A day game tomorrow starting at two o'clock, and Dennis Bennett will start his first ball game for New York. His opponent will be Southfall Woody Freiman.

188
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Plan to come early and enjoy all the filming for the sequences for our couple of smash through the hole, a base hit to left field. Just beyond the reach of Ken Boyer.

189
00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Third hit for the Parrots. It brings up the pitcher, Steve Black. Steve has been up just 11 times this year, owns one base hit.

190
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:23,000
The Mets are home now until the All-Star break. The last day of a three-day break for the All-Star. The Nuts have their benefit game of the Yankees, the Mayor of San Juan benefit game at Yankee Stadium this year.

191
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:30,000
And the pitch is over on the outside corner, strike one.

192
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Pittsburgh tonight and tomorrow, the Phillies are here Wednesday night and Thursday night. And the Cardinals for the weekend, Friday night, Saturday afternoon, and a doubleheader Sunday.

193
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Swing and a miss on a breaking ball, strike two.

194
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Now the two-strike pitch by Shaw. Swing and a miss. He struck him out. He got him to go for a curve the way out of the strike zone.

195
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:24,000
No runs, one hit, no errors, and one left. And at the end of an inning and a half, the Mets nothing and the Pirates nothing.

196
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:29,000
Now the last of the second inning and Tommy Davis will be leading off for the New York Mets.

197
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Tommy hitting 3-0-9 with 10 home runs and 35 runs batted in.

198
00:23:45,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Steve Blasswines and the fifth to Tommy fouled back toward the crowd, no play.

199
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Now Blass, not again on his target, delivers. Foul ball and back up into the crowd.

200
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:18,000
And a counterstrike, too. Blass has not been used a great deal this year by Harry Walker.

201
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Steve has started.

202
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Only two other games this year. Otherwise, it's been used in relief.

203
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,000
That is one-two, lost two.

204
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,000
From Lakeville, Connecticut, 25-year-old Rat Hander.

205
00:24:44,000 --> 00:25:04,000
He pitched more frequently last year and won 11, lost seven. Pretty good year.

206
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Now the pitch to Tommy Davis is inside and high. One ball and two strikes.

207
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Eddie Crane, who will be hitting next, and then Rounds will vote him.

208
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,000
The one-two delivery. Fly ball, well hit the right field.

209
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:36,000
The money walking back to the edge of the warning track is there, and he makes the catch, retiring Tommy Davis.

210
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:42,000
Run away.

211
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Eddie Crane, who will brought his average back over 300, now hitting 3-0-7.

212
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Eddie had one for three in the loss yesterday afternoon to the Atlanta Braves.

213
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,000
A smash hit hard in the left center fielder for a base hit.

214
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Mattie Allou, the center fielder, picks it up, plays it back in, and Crane, who reaches with a base hit.

215
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:18,000
He drilled that one just beyond the reach of shortstop Gene Alex.

216
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:26,000
So the next half, they're first two of the game, and it brings up Ron Swabota.

217
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:33,000
Eddie Crane, Bull, and Ron Swabota are roommates on the road, inseparable friends.

218
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,000
And on this ballgame, they're hitting one behind the other in the batting order.

219
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:44,000
Salty Parker calling Ron down between third and home for a powwow.

220
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:50,000
Salty coaching at third, Yogi Berra coaching at first.

221
00:26:50,000 --> 00:27:00,000
We have a real good Monday night crowd here at Shea, and a beautiful, absolutely perfect night for a ballgame.

222
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,000
Don Clinton holding against the baserunner at Crane Pool.

223
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Now blast off the stretch delivers a fastball on the outside corner, strike one.

224
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,000
The Phillies are here Wednesday night and Thursday night, and the Cardinals Friday night.

225
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,000
The Cardinal outfield batting over 300.

226
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:31,000
Lou Brock, Kirk Flood, Roger Marrows.

227
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Now the Pits are underway, and it's under the knees, one ball and one strike.

228
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:42,000
In addition, Tim McCarver is having a big year behind the plate, and Orlando's played a strong year at first.

229
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:47,000
Julian Javier at second is hitting much better than anybody thought he would.

230
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Javier is still over 300.

231
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Cardinals have a team batting average of over 270.

232
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Ground ball bounced to second base.

233
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Mathorovsky to Alley, they have one.

234
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Now back to first, not in time.

235
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:06,000
And it's the throw from Gene Alex.

236
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Two outs and one on, it brings up Jerry Buchak.

237
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,000
Jerry hitting at 230, and right here we pause for station identification.

238
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,000
This is the New York Mets baseball network.

239
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,000
Hi, neighbor.

240
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Wake up with the Chanuclare at 5.45 a.m.

241
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Farm paper goes to press at 12.15 here on WGY Connectivity.

242
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Bob Murphy with Ralph Keiner and Lindsey Nelson.

243
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:47,000
And Jerry Buchak goes after a breaking ball, strike one.

244
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,000
This afternoon at Wrigley Field, Chicago defeated Philadelphia, 4-2.

245
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Billy Williams and Ron Santo both hit home runs, number 13 for each man.

246
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,000
Those Cubs are putting it all together right now.

247
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Much better pitching than any one jump they had.

248
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:10,000
A lot of hitting and good defensive play.

249
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Here's the pitch to Buchak.

250
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Inside, off the fist, one ball, one strike.

251
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,000
The amazing thing so far has been the Chicago pitching.

252
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,000
They're getting outstanding pitching from rookies.

253
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:29,000
New names like Johnny Hartenstein, Rich Nye, Joe Neekro.

254
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Swing and a miss, one ball and two strikes.

255
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Everybody thought the bottom would drop out on Chicago when Kenny Holtsman went into the Army after winning five games without a loss.

256
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Ferguson Jenkins, the ace of the Cubs staff, has already won nine ball games.

257
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Here's the 1-2 delivery, and the breaking ball is inside.

258
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:07,000
The count is 2-2.

259
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:12,000
Don Clementon holding against the baserunner, Ryan Swabota.

260
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Two men away, and it's 2-2 now on Jerry Buchak.

261
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,000
No score, we're in the last half of the second.

262
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Right-hander Steve Blass delivers a swing and a miss.

263
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000
He's struck him out.

264
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,000
In the second, no runs, one hit, no errors, and one left.

265
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:34,000
And at the end of two innings, the score, the New York Mets nothing and the Pittsburgh Pirates nothing.

266
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,000
Mets fans, imagine if you can the glorious Mets in person at Shea Stadium.

267
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Try to visualize the excitement of big league baseball, the triumphant Mets face to face with the St. Louis Cardinals.

268
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,000
All yours absolutely free.

269
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,000
You can see Tommy Davis and Yogi Berra, Wes Westrom, and the whole team.

270
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Win a pair of tickets to the Mets game coming up Saturday, July 1st.

271
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Just send a card to glorious Mets, WGY Schenectady.

272
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:06,000
You may win two free tickets to the Cardinals Mets game on Saturday, July 1st, or the Atlanta Mets game on Sunday, July 9th.

273
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:12,000
What else? Well, make it easy on yourself when you tune in all the evening and weekend Mets games here on WGY.

274
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:20,000
Get a handy dandy WGY program that gives you all the times and dates and places of the Mets baseball on WGY.

275
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:26,000
For a WGY Mets schedule, you write Mets schedule WGY Schenectady.

276
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:31,000
That address again is WGY Mets schedule WGY Schenectady.

277
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,000
You'll be awfully glad you did.

278
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Third inning at Shea Stadium, Mets nothing and Pirates nothing.

279
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:42,000
And as the Mets come back to Shea, it's nice to hear in the background while the teams are changing sides,

280
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:47,000
the wonderful Dixieland music by the group from your father's mustache.

281
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Here's a fellow that doesn't wear a mustache.

282
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,000
All ready to go, Mr. Ralph Keiner.

283
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,000
Thank you, Bob Murphy, and hi everyone.

284
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:04,000
First man up for the Pittsburgh Pirates will be Mattie Allou.

285
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Mattie beat out a bun his first time up in the very first pitch of the ballgame by Bob Shaw.

286
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Now Bob is moving Eddie Cranepole in closer to home plate, about even with the bag, and also over toward second base.

287
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,000
Mattie Allou, a left hand batter.

288
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,000
He has good speed, good speed, and he's got a lot of speed.

289
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:25,000
Mattie is inside at ball one.

290
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:31,000
Mattie is batting 3.30.

291
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Ken Boyer at third base, also playing in very close.

292
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,000
Pitch back to the plate, it's one on line to center field.

293
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000
It's going to be a base it might go through.

294
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Cut off by Cleon Jones.

295
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,000
Allou with a big turn at first base and now stopping.

296
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,000
And going on batting, Mattie Allou is in the third base.

297
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Cleon Jones, Allou with a big turn at first base and now stopping, and going on back as Cleon fires it back into second base.

298
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,000
So Mattie Allou, two for two.

299
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:02,000
And the lead batter on here in the top of the third, a scoreless ballgame with Maury Wills coming up.

300
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Maury bounced the base hit off the glove with Jerry Buchak his first time up.

301
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Wills batting 2.98 and batting from the left-hand side.

302
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,000
Wills has two home runs so far this year.

303
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,000
One of them over the left field wall at Pittsburgh, the other was inside the park.

304
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Next pitch is outside at ball one.

305
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Maury scoring out a slow to bottom.

306
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Scoreless ballgame, the Pirates have four bases, the Mets have one.

307
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Bob Shaw against Steve Blass.

308
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:46,000
Allou off at first base, Shaw throw to first base, just a calling card throw.

309
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Just to let him know he's on the mound.

310
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,000
Mattie Allou has six total bases.

311
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:59,000
This time the throw over to first base is a little bit harder and Allou sort of falls back on his hands and knees toward the bag.

312
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Gets back in safely.

313
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Once again he's off.

314
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Club leader for the Pirates, Maury Wills.

315
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,000
He has a total of 14 stolen bases.

316
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,000
The runner going, the pitch is ground out toward second base.

317
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:17,000
Buchak covering toward second stop, goes over to his left side, comes up with the ball and throws to first base in time for the out.

318
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,000
And the hit and run play moving Mattie Allou on down to second.

319
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:25,000
One away now on the top of the third and the batter coming up is Roberto Comenic.

320
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:33,000
Roberto Comenic, number 21.

321
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Comenic hit into a double play his first time up.

322
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:44,000
They look for the Rangos Chug-a-Mug special display at your local stores in New York and New Jersey.

323
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,000
The Chug-a-Mug looks and sounds just like what it is.

324
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:53,000
A good thirst-quenching drink of beer, 12 ounces of Rangos extra dry and you can drink it right from the mug.

325
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,000
First pitch to Comenic is a slider over the outside corner.

326
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:03,000
It's called a strike.

327
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Comenic batting 3.48.

328
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,000
12 homeruns, 49 runs batted in.

329
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,000
Next pitch, a curve swung on and missed.

330
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Strike two, a perfect pitch by Bob Schong.

331
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:20,000
Comenic full by.

332
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Comenic leads Orlando Cepeda in the batting race in the National League.

333
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Right hand batter deep in the batter's box, Bob Schong to the plate, the ball wild.

334
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,000
On by the catcher, Jerry Grote.

335
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:44,000
It bounces right back to him off the screen, but Mattie Allou goes over to third base on the wild pitch.

336
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Fast ball, it was way outside and Jerry Grote couldn't get his glove on it.

337
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,000
That puts a runner at third with one out.

338
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,000
So far, no score in the ball game.

339
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:01,000
And we'll check to see how manager Wes Westrom plays the infield.

340
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:07,000
So far, the short and second baseman, shortstop and second baseman playing back.

341
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Ken Boyer at third even with the bag and Eddie Creampool also even with the bag for a play at the plate.

342
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,000
One and two to count.

343
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Bob Schong into the windup in the pitch to Comenic.

344
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Change up hit down to second base on through into center field of base hit.

345
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,000
Allou scores from third base.

346
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,000
The ball missed in the outfield and now picked up by Ron Cebola.

347
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,000
The throw as Comenic tries to go to second base is in time to party house and for the out.

348
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:38,000
And now Comenic arguing with all you got to tell you about the call.

349
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:46,000
A rightful throw by Ron Cebola who backed up the play after Cleon Jones had bobbled the ball.

350
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,000
So now the Pirates have the lead one nothing.

351
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:59,000
The Mets picked up their second out and the batter stepping up Manny Jimenez, a left fielder.

352
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Even though Buczek was back, that ball hit so hard he couldn't get to it as it went by on the second base side.

353
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Now a swing at the first pitch by Jimenez, strike one.

354
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:24,000
One batted in for Comenic his 50th this year.

355
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Bob Schong starting to take his windup stopped by the home plate umpire as time was called.

356
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:33,000
Now time back in and the pitch. Change up popped out toward left field.

357
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Tommy Davis moving to his right has plenty of time to get to it.

358
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,000
He does and he makes it catch the retire's aside.

359
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,000
In the inning one run on two hits, no errors and no one left on base.

360
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:50,000
And the score at the end of two and a half innings, the Pirates won the Mets nothing.

361
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:56,000
Bottom half of the third the Mets behind one nothing as they come to bat and the lead off batter will be Jerry Grote.

362
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:00,000
International League the Gumsby Philadelphia for their seventh win in a row, four to two.

363
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:05,000
The winning pitcher was Rich Nye, the losing pitcher was Merrill for the Phillies as the starting pitcher.

364
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Williams got his 13th homerun in the first, Sando got his 13th homerun in the first.

365
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:17,000
First pitch to Jerry Grote, a fastball by Steve Lask. It's inside ball one.

366
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:26,000
Jerry batting 189. He'll be followed by the pitcher Bob Schock and then Bud Harrelson.

367
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,000
And the 1-0 pitch, a slider that swung on a miss that's one and one.

368
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,000
At the end of one the Dodgers nothing, Cincinnati nothing.

369
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:37,000
Badoe's team pitching for the Dodgers against Mel Queen.

370
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:42,000
Also scheduled San Francisco against the St. Louis Cardinals.

371
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Cardinals lead the league by two and a half games over the Cincinnati Reds.

372
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,000
They lost a doubleheader yesterday to Philadelphia.

373
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:54,000
Big curveball over the inside corner called strike two.

374
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,000
One and two. In the American League at the end the two no score.

375
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:03,000
Talbot pitching for the Yankees against Lindblad for the Kansas City Athletics.

376
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:07,000
The end of two and a half, White Sox nothing, Baltimore nothing.

377
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Howard against Rickards.

378
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,000
Now the next pitch is called time. No play at all.

379
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Time has been called just before the delivery.

380
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Boston and Minnesota scheduled, Washington and California scheduled.

381
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,000
Now time is in. The one-two pitch grounded foul.

382
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:40,000
Ball bouncing off to the left side and the count remains at one ball and two strikes.

383
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:46,000
Jerry Grote has two home runs this year. He has driven in eighth.

384
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:51,000
His biggest day coming against Atlanta.

385
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:58,000
And he had a four for five day.

386
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,000
One and two and Steve Glass now back again.

387
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,000
And the fastball hits to deep left field going back to left fielder Manny Jimenez.

388
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:09,000
He's waiting and he has it.

389
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Manny Jimenez in left field going all the way back a step in front of the fence to make the catch of the long fly ball.

390
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,000
First out against the Mets here in the bottom half of the third.

391
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:26,000
They trail one nothing with Bob Shaw coming up.

392
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:35,000
Bob has had one hit in 17 times up.

393
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Mets have had one base hit in the ball game.

394
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Eddie Crane full single of center field his first time out.

395
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,000
The Pittsburgh Pirates have five bases. They lead one nothing.

396
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000
First pitch to Shaw grounded foul.

397
00:40:51,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Ball bouncing off to the right side and picked up by the catcher, Jerry May in foul territory.

398
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,000
A New York Mets against the fourth place, Pittsburgh Pirates.

399
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:11,000
Pirates are six games out of first.

400
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:28,000
And at one strike the pitch to Shaw is going on a miss. Strike two.

401
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:34,000
Glass now into the windup and back at two strikes and messing with the slider just outside.

402
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:42,000
One and two.

403
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:50,000
Steve Glass won his first ball game against the Dodgers.

404
00:41:50,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Now the one-two pitch, again the slider and again outside, this time down low. Two balls and two strikes.

405
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Glass beat the Dodgers four to two back in 1964 for his first major league win.

406
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Two-pitch, swung on a miss. Strike three. And the right-hander picks up his third strikeout.

407
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:33,000
Two men away now in the bottom half of the third and the Mets have their leadoff batter, Bud Harrelson coming up.

408
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:47,000
Bud was safe on an error by Gene Alley his first time up, batting a 240.

409
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:54,000
And the first pitch to Harrelson batting left-hander, just swung on and fouled down in the dirt. Strike one.

410
00:42:54,000 --> 00:43:00,000
After Glass had won five and lost eight his first year in the major leagues, he went back to the minors and pitched it to Columbus.

411
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:08,000
He won 13 and lost 11. That got him back in the majors. And with the Pirates last year he won 11 and lost seven.

412
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:17,000
He had one complete game and 25 game starts. This year he has had two previous game starts with one complete game.

413
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:21,000
A bouncing ball through in the right field by the second-makesman Bill Masurowski.

414
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Bud Harrelson fakes a going to second. And Roberto Comenny after picking up the ball, fakes throwing the first base.

415
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:31,000
And Harrelson hustles back to first. That's where their second base is.

416
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:45,000
And the time run now at first base with Cleon Jones coming up.

417
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:54,000
Cleon popped the second base his first time up. He's batting at 201.

418
00:43:54,000 --> 00:44:00,000
Cleon brought a five-game hitting streak into this ballgame. Harrelson with a good-sized lead at first.

419
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:07,000
And the first pitch is taken with a half swing and it's called strike one.

420
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:20,000
Home plate umpire Mel Steiner indicating that Cleon Jones didn't stop his swinging time.

421
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:32,000
Over the last five ballgames in which Cleon has had a hitting streak he has gone 8 for 21 to raise his average from 177 to 201.

422
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:50,000
D-blast with a pitch back of the plate it's swung on and fouled off the end of the bat. Back of home plate on the ground and the count goes to strike two.

423
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Conference at the mound as Jerry May goes out to talk with the right-hander.

424
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Jerry has taken over the complete catching duties for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

425
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:12,000
He has always been known as a fine catcher but they didn't find out until this year that he was a good hitter. He's batting 313.

426
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:19,000
Harrelson again with a fairly good lead at first base. He has stolen two bases, been thrown out once.

427
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:28,000
The next pitch is a play to fastball inside. Cleon Jones taking the count goes to one and two with two men out here in the bottom half of the third.

428
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:42,000
Harrelson with a bigger lead now at first base.

429
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:48,000
Van Denen making the motion to watch him. He has not joined and the pitch is swung on and missed.

430
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:55,000
The ball down in the dirt dug out by the catcher Jerry May the tag made on Cleon Jones and the strikeout retires the side.

431
00:45:55,000 --> 00:46:01,000
That is the fourth strikeout in the ball game for Steve Blass. That pitch was bounced in the dirt.

432
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:11,000
No runs, one hit. No errors and one man left at first. And the score is through three. Pittsburgh won and that's nothing.

433
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:21,000
Now the first pitch to Don Cleon Denen as we start the top of the fourth inning. Pittsburgh in front one nothing and the pitch is low a ball.

434
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:28,000
Bob Shaw has given up one run, allowed five hits. He comes back with a breaking ball and hits low, ball two.

435
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:37,000
Van Denen tops at first base his first time up with two runners on. Jimenez was on at first base and Matty Lou was on at third.

436
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:44,000
That out retired the side. Now Shaw back and the next pitch is hit high in the air toward the shortstop position.

437
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:53,000
But health and moving back on the edge of the grass now backpedaling a little bit further and he makes the catch.

438
00:46:53,000 --> 00:47:00,000
One away in the top of the fourth and the batter coming up is Bill Maserasti.

439
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Van Denen before the out batting at 2.45. Maserasti coming up batting 2.83.

440
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:17,000
He struck out his first time up. Shaw has struck out two batters in the ballgame. First pitch is fouled off the end of the bat off to the right side over the dugout.

441
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:21,000
Strike one.

442
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:28,000
Barrett's got their run in the third on a base hit by Matty Lou.

443
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:39,000
A ground out on a hit and run play by Maury Will. Now a curve back over strike two. Putting a Lou at second base and a single to center field by Roberto Comenny.

444
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:51,000
Roberto now has 50 runs better than him. He was thrown out after the ball was bobbled by Cleon Jones when Ron Crabort picked it up and threw to second base as Comenny tried to get on down there.

445
00:47:51,000 --> 00:48:11,000
Now the two strike bits high and tight. Maserasti backs away in the count one and two.

446
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Shaw now with the signs and the one-two delivery. It is fouled away. So once again, again they counted one ball and two strikes. On deck batter is Gene Alley.

447
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:47,000
And at one-two the pitch, a breaking ball and Maserasti started to swing, held off in time, the ball breaking way outside. Two balls, two strikes. That ballgame tomorrow will be an afternoon ballgame with the Pittsburgh Pirates, game time at two o'clock.

448
00:48:47,000 --> 00:49:03,000
They're going to shoot the scene. The triple play at one-thirty. Now a two-two. A slider line to left center field. Could be extra bases. Going over Cleon Jones. He cuts it off. Maserasti makes the turn and holds at first base.

449
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:23,000
And Cleon Jones fires the ball in on one hop to second base. Good play to save a double. Six bases for the Pittsburgh Pirates and it brings up the shortstop, Gene Alley.

450
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:33,000
Gene grounded down to third base his first time up. Ball took a bad hop and Ken Boyer had to make a good play on it.

451
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:43,000
Alley batting 279, a right-hand batter. And the first pitch is hit hard down to short. A good shot at two, the throw over to second in time on the first base of double play.

452
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:57,000
Todd Halston and Jerry Buchak and on to Ed Cranepool, a double play to retire this time. That is double play number 52 for the New York Mets this year. No runs, one hit. No errors and no one left on base.

453
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:03,000
And the score is three and a half innings. Pittsburgh won. Met nothing.

454
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:19,000
Armory Garage Central at Colvin in Albany, put your family on the road vacation bound in a top quality tested used car. If you've been putting off that family trip because you're worried about the safety of your present car, drive into Armory Garage's used car lot and leave your worries behind.

458
00:50:53,000 --> 00:51:08,000
Happy vacation.

459
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:19,000
Going to the bottom half of the fourth inning. The Pittsburgh Pirates in front one to nothing with Ken Boyer, the lead off for the Mets. Steve Blass with his first pitch again and a tie for the ball.

460
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:28,000
Boyer was called out on strikes his first time up. Steve got him with a curve ball.

461
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:42,000
Boyer batting 221. He'll be followed by Tommy Davis and Ed Craneball. Now the next pitch grounded slowly down to Maury Wills at third. He has it on the second off, throws over to first base and plenty of time for the out.

462
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:51,000
One man down and Tommy Davis coming up. Tommy flat out to right field his first time up.

463
00:51:51,000 --> 00:52:04,000
Tommy's average at 308 with 10 home runs and 35 runs batted in. He leads the club in both of those departments. He also leads the club and runs scored with 30. Base hits with 73.

464
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:20,000
And the first pitcher swung on a miss strike one. Tommy has played in 63 ball games. Mets have had 64 ball games for this one.

465
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:41,000
In the 1967 season and in 27 days here at J Stadium they have drawn 557,000. Brown ball and a curve ball foul. The count goes up to strike two. 557,552 and a good crowd here tonight. They estimated it at about 27,000.

466
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:56,000
It could be a big weekend for baseball. Also all through the week. St. Louis Cardinals come in for the weekend and after the Pirates tomorrow the Philadelphia Phillies Wednesday night and Thursday night. Friday night St. Louis.

467
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:10,000
Saturday afternoon the Cardinals and Sunday a doubleheader. Now a fastball under the chin of Tommy Davis. He moves away and it's one and two.

468
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:22,000
Steve Glass wants a new ball and gets it from the umpire mill center. Al Barlich the umpire at first base. Augie Donatelli the umpire at second base. Dan Landis at third.

469
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:36,000
And at one two the pitch to Tommy is fouled off the hands into the lower stands down the right field line. That remains at one ball and two strikes. He's had that fastball by Tommy.

470
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:43,000
Alberg Barlich one run and six hits the Mets have no runs and two. One man out bottom half of the fourth.

471
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:49,000
Now once again Steve wants a new ball.

472
00:53:49,000 --> 00:54:06,000
And looks at the one he threw in. Check it out and keeps it. Some pitches like certain balls. Sometimes they don't feel right. A curveball drilled to left field coming over into the corner as Manny Jimenez he goes right into the corner and makes a catch about a strike from the wall.

473
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,000
Right down the left field line three hundred and forty feet away.

474
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:21,000
So Tommy out on a deep drive for the second out here in the bottom half of the fourth and that brings up Eddie Cranepool.

475
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:28,000
Eddie got the first base hit of the ballgame for the Mets in the second his first time up. He's batting three eleven right at the moment.

476
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,000
Eddie leads the club.

477
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:37,000
He has hit three home runs and driven in sixteen runs.

478
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:42,000
Cranepool right on top of the play.

479
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:46,000
And the right hander with the first pitch. It's lined the center field a base hit.

480
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:51,000
So Cranepool two for two he rounds it first and holds there.

481
00:54:51,000 --> 00:55:02,000
That'll bring up Ron Svoboda.

482
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:07,000
Ron ground it out to second base into a fourth play his first time up.

483
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:11,000
He's batting two fifty four with four home runs and twelve runs batted in.

484
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:15,000
Ron taking a couple of practice swings outside of the batter's box.

485
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:22,000
High run is at first base Cranepool there with his second hit of the ballgame. He's now batting three fifteen.

486
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:27,000
And now Steve Blass with the first pitch to Svoboda. It's high and inside a fastball.

487
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:32,000
Svoboda moves away and it's one ball.

488
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:37,000
One and all. Outfield very deep all the way around.

489
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:45,000
The left fielder Manny Jimenez about two steps in front of the warning path in left field.

490
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:49,000
Mattie Allou deep in center. Now Manny deep in right.

491
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,000
Now Blass back and the sliders hit down to second base.

492
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:57,000
And as Arashki has it goes to first base for the out and that retires aside. No runs one hit.

493
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:01,000
No errors and the man left it first and the score through four.

494
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:12,000
Pittsburgh one the Mets nothing.

495
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:18,000
Jerry May the Pittsburgh catcher batting eight from the order will be leading off against Bob Shaw in the fifth inning.

496
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:24,000
Jerry single to left his previous time at bat.

497
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:29,000
May hitting three nineteen. Ground ball hit towards the hole cut off by Ken Boyer.

498
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:36,000
Now Ken straightens up throws the first in time for the off.

499
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:42,000
The pirate pitcher Steve Blass comes up for his second time at bat. His previous time up he was struck out.

500
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:47,000
And while we wait for Steve Blass we pause for station identification.

501
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,000
This is the New York Mets baseball network.

502
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:56,000
This is Phil Edwardson. Make a late afternoon music day to join me weekday afternoon three to six p.m. on the big bright sound.

503
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:02,000
Here on WGY connected.

504
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:06,000
Now swinging a miss by Steve Blass strike one.

505
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:13,000
Pittsburgh one run six hits one error. New York no runs three hits no errors.

506
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:19,000
Shaw wasting little time delivers and he had badly fooled him with a breaking ball off the outside corner.

507
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:27,000
He swung at it strike two.

508
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:35,000
That's for the infield and the outfield straight away against Blass and the curve is foul back into the crowd no play.

509
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:40,000
The game tomorrow starts at two o'clock.

510
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:44,000
The scenes for the movie will be shot from one thirty to two.

511
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:55,000
Swing and a miss he struck him out. Blass banned by Bob Shaw.

512
00:57:55,000 --> 00:58:02,000
Third strike out by Bob Shaw. It brings up the lead off batter Matty Alou.

513
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,000
Matty now has raised his batting average to three thirty three.

514
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:12,000
He bonnet for a single in the opening inning and he's singled a right in the third inning.

515
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:21,000
After he's singled in the third and Matty Alou moved the second on the ground out by Maury Will took third in a wild pitch and scored a hit by Clemente.

516
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,000
It's a strike on the inside corner.

517
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:36,000
But now he's driving home the only run of the game at this point.

518
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,000
Now Shaw picks up his sign from Jerry Grote.

519
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:52,000
Here's the pitch to Matty Alou. It is in the dirt goes all the way to the backstop. No harm done nobody on. One ball one strike.

520
00:58:52,000 --> 00:59:01,000
The afternoon game tomorrow the only day game until Saturday. Saturday a ladies day game between the Mets and the Cardinals.

521
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:11,000
One one pitch swung on and foul tipped. One ball two strikes to Matty Alou.

522
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:19,000
Roberto Clemente leads the national league in batting. Matty Alou is really making a run at it now.

523
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:27,000
The Cardinals Orlando Cepeda is second. Cepeda hitting three forty five.

524
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:39,000
Tim McCarver of the Cardinals is third. Rusty Stab of Houston fourth. Richie Allen of the Phillies is fifth and Matty Alou is sixth.

525
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:52,000
Hit foul over toward the home dugout. No play one ball and two strikes.

526
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:57,000
Matty Alou was quite a story in winning the batting title for the Pirates last year.

527
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,000
He raised his average over a hundred points from the previous year.

528
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:07,000
The one two pitch a change up it on the ground down to first. Crane pulled up with it steps on the bag and the side is up.

529
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:12,000
Bob Shaw gets the Pirates in order. No runs no hits no errors none left.

530
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:26,000
We've come halfway at the end of four and a half Pittsburgh one New York nothing.

531
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,000
Jerry. OK.

532
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:40,000
Last of the footballing New York behind one nothing Jerry Buczak leading off against Steve Blass.

533
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:47,000
Jerry was struck out his first time up and the pitch by Blass low it outside ball one.

534
01:00:47,000 --> 01:01:02,000
Jerry's average to twenty nine seven home runs seventeen runs batted out.

535
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:08,000
Now the pitch underway hit off the end of the bat a foul ball one ball and one strike.

536
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:13,000
Let's have a lot of excitement coming up around here between now and the All-Star break.

537
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:18,000
Five of the top national league clubs visiting Shea Stadium.

538
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:24,000
Philly is here Wednesday and Thursday night the Cardinals Friday night Saturday afternoon doubleheaders Sunday.

539
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:32,000
Then Willie Mayston Giants come into New York over July 4th for a game on the night of the third the afternoon of the fourth and the night of the fifth.

540
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:40,000
Round ball hit down the third baseline foul one ball two strikes.

541
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:44,000
After the Giants series the Atlanta Braves for a weekend set.

542
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:50,000
Then the traditional break for the All-Star game.

543
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:59,000
The All-Star game will be played in California at Anaheim the home of the California Angels.

544
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,000
Pitching one and two.

545
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:11,000
It is inside two and two to Jerry Buczak.

546
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:19,000
The All-Star game is on July 11th and on July 12th at Yankee Stadium the mayor's trophy game between the Mets and the Yankees.

547
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:24,000
All the proceeds going to the mayor of San Laud baseball program.

548
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:31,000
Two to pitch low and outside and the string is at three and two on Jerry Buczak.

549
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:38,000
Jerry a native of St. Louis Missouri.

550
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:52,000
The old timers night is rapidly approaching a week from Saturday night July the 8th for the Mets playing the Atlanta Braves.

551
01:02:52,000 --> 01:03:09,000
He held up on the swing and the slider broke outside ball for Blass and May both objecting to the call by umpire Mel Steiner.

552
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:13,000
That is the first walk surrendered by Steve Blass.

553
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:18,000
Now Jerry Grote checks with Salty Parker to see how manager West Western wants to play this.

554
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:25,000
The pitcher will be hitting next.

555
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:32,000
Jerry got good with on the ball his first time up tonight a fly ball to deep left and him it has caught against the fence.

556
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:43,000
He's around the but doesn't offer his high ball one.

557
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:48,000
Willie Stargell and Bob Beale came into New York.

558
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:51,000
But this evening returned to Pittsburgh for examinations.

559
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:57,000
Stargell with a bad shoulder and Beale's elbow has been bothering him.

560
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:12,000
Here's the pitch on the way a swing and a miss as he took the bum play off one ball and one strike.

561
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:20,000
Don Glenn Dunn and ready to race up the line from first base in the event of a bunch.

562
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:24,000
Mari will shorten up a third against Jerry Grote.

563
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:30,000
Now Blass delivers inside with a curve ball two balls and a strike to Jerry Grote.

564
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:36,000
Jerry May wants to chat with his pitcher Steve Blass.

565
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:44,000
Blass has had very good stuff.

566
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,000
He's a hard thrower.

567
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:55,000
Good live fastball throws a hard slider and a pretty good looking curve ball.

568
01:04:55,000 --> 01:05:00,000
Now Blass rub on to me looking in for his side.

569
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:06,000
The two one-pitch it is high in the air on the left side of the infield.

570
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:14,000
On the stem part of the dam and Gene Alley between the second and third takes it to the off.

571
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:20,000
One out and one on and Bob Shaw now will try and work at his own behalf.

572
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:24,000
Bob was strutting out his first time up.

573
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:35,000
18 times this year he has won him.

574
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:46,000
Mari will is walking over from third for a word here as the Pirates anticipate a sacrifice bunch.

575
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:51,000
Jerry Buchak is on first base one out. New York behind one nothing.

576
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:54,000
Now they move in looking for the but here's the pitch.

577
01:05:54,000 --> 01:06:13,000
Ball swing and a squibbler going foul on the first baseland.

578
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:22,000
The playing field is in beautiful shape here at Shea Stadium. Beautiful green.

579
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:26,000
Now a quick throw to first not in time.

580
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:30,000
Johnny McCarthy and his ground crew do an excellent job.

581
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:35,000
Playing field here at Shea is probably the best looking field in the big leagues.

582
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:48,000
Bunted foul off to the right no play.

583
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:51,000
Now blast with a two strike count on Bob Shaw.

584
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:55,000
Bud Harrelson is the on deck batter.

585
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:58,000
Blast so far has allowed just three hits.

586
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:02,000
Eddie Cranesville has two of the three both singles.

587
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:06,000
But Harrelson has the other a single to right in the third inning.

588
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:11,000
The Mets have had two well hit drives that have been caught.

589
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,000
One by Tommy Davis the other by Jerry Grote.

590
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:30,000
And the breaking ball is outside one ball and two strikes.

591
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:37,000
One and two as Shaw waits on Steve Blass.

592
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:41,000
The Lakeville Connecticut right hander delivers a bouncing ball hit toward the middle.

593
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:46,000
Grabbed by Maserowski. Flips Valley for one on the clandestine double play.

594
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:51,000
Four six three double play on the side is out in the last of the fifth inning.

595
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:55,000
No runs no hits no errors none left on.

596
01:07:55,000 --> 01:08:02,000
So at the end of five Pittsburgh one run six hits and one error in New York no runs three hits and no errors.

597
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:07,000
Ground crew coming out now to manicure the diamond for the last four innings of action.

598
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:13,000
The old timers game will take place one week from the Saturday night here at Shea Stadium.

599
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:19,000
The 1960 Yankees squaring off against the original 1962 New York Mets.

600
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:24,000
A nostalgic night and a fun night here in the big beautiful stadium and flushing.

601
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:29,000
As the Mets talked about original Mets cast will be back on hand.

602
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:32,000
Ken McKenzie coach Sally Hemis.

603
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:37,000
Hobie Landreth who was the first player drafted by the Mets in the expansion draft.

604
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:43,000
I remember Hobie won a big ball game very early in the season for the New York Mets with a home run that year off Warren's five.

605
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:50,000
Frank Thomas is the starting left fielder and Big Frank had 34 home runs but still stands as a Mets club high.

606
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:55,000
Jay Hook won the first ball game the Mets ever won and it was against the Pirates out in Pittsburgh.

607
01:08:55,000 --> 01:09:01,000
Bob Miller and Craig Anderson will be on hand and Slim Roger Craig who had so many heartbreaking losses.

608
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:05,000
Richie Ashburn hit over 300 that first year.

609
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:12,000
Just Bell was in right field and there was the gentleman from Cherryfield, Maine that everybody thought so much of, Carl Willie.

610
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:15,000
Hot Rod Kaniel and Roadblock Jones, Charlie Neal.

611
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:19,000
The Yankees will have such as old reliable Tommy Henry.

612
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:22,000
Whitey Ford, greatest left hander of them all for the New York Yankees.

613
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:31,000
Bobby Shins, Bob Serves, Charlie Kelleher, Joe Page, Eddie Lopat, Bobby Richardson, Art Dittmar and Gil McDougal.

614
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:36,000
Dale Long who humored in eight consecutive games for a record as still stands.

615
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:40,000
Bill Stafford and Bob Turley, Jonah Mastry and Bud Moss.

616
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:44,000
And of course the old professor Casey Stingle will be here.

617
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:49,000
Barry Wills up against Bob Shaw as we go to the sixth inning and the pitch is over strike one.

618
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:03,000
Wills has an infield hit and has rounded out second to first one for two.

619
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:06,000
Barry hitting two and ninety seven.

620
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:12,000
His knee has been bothering him quite a bit lately.

621
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:16,000
He was hit on that knee by a pitch thrown by Ray Sedecky.

622
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:23,000
Shaw out of his wind up the pitch to Wills.

623
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:26,000
Fast ball a strike on the inside corner of the pitch.

624
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:31,000
Wills sitting close to the plate jumped back thinking he was going to be more inside.

625
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:40,000
Roberto Clemente coming out on deck.

626
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,000
Now the pitch on the way.

627
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:55,000
Breaking ball in the dirt in front of the plate.

628
01:10:55,000 --> 01:11:01,000
One ball two strikes to Maury Wills.

629
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:11,000
Now Shaw checking with Jerry Grody.

630
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:14,000
The Dodgers got two runs off Mel Queen in the third.

631
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:19,000
Dodgers to Cincinnati nothing at the end of three and a half of his team against Queen.

632
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:23,000
And it's hit in the air to shallow left center field drifting over is Leon Jones.

633
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,000
And Leon puts it away for the.

634
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:31,000
Now Roberto Clemente.

635
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:36,000
Roberto hit into a double play started by Bud Harrelson in the first inning.

636
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,000
But in the third inning he's single the right center driving home.

637
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,000
Matty Alou with the only run of the ball game.

638
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:46,000
Giants and Cardinals have their big series underway at St. Louis.

639
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:53,000
He Lord Terry is the giant pitcher he's had about as much tough luck as anybody in baseball this year.

640
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:56,000
Harry Walker.

641
01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:00,000
Come out to argue a point with Empire now.

642
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:04,000
I don't know what the point is.

643
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:13,000
Up to this point and it's not really an argument.

644
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:19,000
It is merely an explanation on the part of Mel Sanders regards to whatever Harry Walker is saying.

645
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:30,000
Harry Walker is.

646
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:35,000
And are trying to walk away from him.

647
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:49,000
Harry Walker stays right with it.

648
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:58,000
Now the argument starts to break up and Harry Walker hits back to the dugout.

649
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:05,000
I don't know whether Harry was contending catchers interference and Jerry Grutter or what he was arguing about.

650
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:09,000
Fastball for a strike to Clemente.

651
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:18,000
He was not arguing obviously about the call on a pitch because that would mean banishment from the ballgame.

652
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:23,000
The Giants scoreless in the first inning at St. Louis.

653
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:26,000
Now breaking ball over strike two.

654
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,000
John Kastman is pitching the bat for the Cardinals.

655
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:36,000
He was with the Cardinals during spring training was sent back to the minor leagues on the cut down date and brought back up with Ray Washburn suffering a fractured thumb.

656
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:40,000
Washburn is now on the disabled list.

657
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:50,000
His strike delivery off the outside corner one ball and two strikes.

658
01:13:50,000 --> 01:14:00,000
It might very well have been to that area Walker was talking to Mel Steiner about the possibility of Bob Shaw throwing a spitter.

659
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:06,000
The one to pitch fastball off the outside corner it's two and two.

660
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:10,000
This afternoon the Cubs made it seven straight they beat Philadelphia four to two.

661
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:16,000
Rich Nye the rookie left hander won his sixth game against three losses and Dick Ferrell was the loser.

662
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:21,000
The Williams and the Sando each clubbed a home run for each of the number 13.

663
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:24,000
Now Shaw pitches two and two.

664
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:25,000
A ground ball is through the middle.

665
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:30,000
They've hit back for many.

666
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:38,000
Clemente is now two for three and it brings up Manny Jimenez the left fielder.

667
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:41,000
Yankees nothing Kansas City nothing at the end of five.

668
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:43,000
Fred Fowler to give Paul Lindblad.

669
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:46,000
White Sox nothing the Orioles nothing after four and a half.

670
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:48,000
Bruce Howard pitching against Pete Rickard.

671
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:52,000
The Red Sox Minnesota game not yet underway.

672
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:54,000
Swing and a miss strike one.

673
01:14:54,000 --> 01:15:01,000
And later tonight the Senators and the Angels play at Anaheim.

674
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:04,000
Right here we're in the sixth inning one out and one on.

675
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:06,000
Pittsburgh in front one nothing.

676
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:10,000
Eddie Crane now holding against Roberto Clemente.

677
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:12,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

678
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:24,000
Inside and low one ball one strike.

679
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:28,000
Manny Jimenez was hitting 338 at Columbus in the International League when the

680
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:34,000
Parrots decided to bring him up and send George Briggs down.

681
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:36,000
Now Clemente leading off first.

682
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:38,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

683
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:51,000
Bounced foul into the dirt near home plate one ball two strikes.

684
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:57,000
Pittsburgh one run seven hits New York no runs three hits.

685
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:59,000
The Mets were in Pittsburgh on their last road trip.

686
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:03,000
There were three well-pitched ballgames for the series.

687
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:07,000
The Mets won a Twilight Knight doubleheader winning the first game one to nothing.

688
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:09,000
And the second game three to two.

689
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:16,000
The one to delivery a swing and a miss he struck him out.

690
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:21,000
Strikeout number four by Bob Shaw it brings up Don Glenn-Dennett.

691
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:33,000
First baseman Don Glenn-Dennett has popped the first and popped the short nothing for two.

692
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:41,000
Dennis Bennett pitches tomorrow against Woody Freiman in the battle of left-hander.

693
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:43,000
Now the pitch on the way a ground ball hit the short stuff.

694
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:45,000
Snagged by Harrelson he flips the boot check.

695
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:48,000
Force play on Fennedy and the side is out.

696
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:51,000
No runs one hit no errors one left.

697
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:57,000
After five and a half innings the Pittsburgh Pirates won and the New York Mets nothing.

698
01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:01,000
Whether you're buying your first or tenth car it's time you become a smart car buyer

699
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:07,000
and join the ranks of the thousand satisfied customers who shop Armory Garage central at Colvin Albany.

700
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:10,000
Here are the three basic rules for the smart car buyer.

701
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:13,000
Select a model you want and then one compare quality.

702
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:19,000
Armory Garage boasts the largest selection of quality tested late model used cars in the area.

703
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:21,000
Two, compare service.

704
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:25,000
Armory's expert mechanics are qualified to service all the cars on the Armory lot.

705
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:27,000
Three, compare price.

706
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:31,000
Armory's tremendous volume assures you more for your car buying dollar.

707
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:33,000
Be a wise car buyer.

708
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:38,000
Drive into Armory Garage and talk over your used car needs with sales manager Art Neek.

709
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:41,000
Let him introduce you to Armory's easy terms.

710
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:45,000
You can buy, sign, and pay at Armory, home of 101 time payment plans.

711
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,000
Your credit is wealth at Armory.

712
01:17:47,000 --> 01:18:08,000
Follow the wise car buyer to Armory Garage central at Colvin Albany.

713
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:11,000
Bud Harrelson, the first step in the last of the sixth inning.

714
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:15,000
Bud has reached safely on an error charge to Gene Alley

715
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:21,000
and singled a right field for one of the three hits given up by Steve Blass.

716
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:46,000
So New York will have Bud Harrelson, Leigh-Anne Jones, and Ken Boyer hitting in the last half of the sixth inning.

717
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:51,000
Now the pitcher on the way, foul ball back into the crowd, no play.

718
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:56,000
And the Mets were last in Pittsburgh after winning the Twilight Night doubleheader.

719
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:01,000
The following night they were shut out by right-hander Tommy Sisk.

720
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:06,000
Jack Fisher pitching well in a losing ball game.

721
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:10,000
Bud Harrelson waits, and the pitcher by Blass, a curve up high, that failed to act up for him.

722
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:13,000
One ball and one strike.

723
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:22,000
Bud had a notion about bunning that ball, and Maury Wells came in on the run.

724
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:27,000
Blass has walked only one, struck out four.

725
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:33,000
The 1-1 pitch inside of the low, it's 2-1 on Bud Harrelson.

726
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:42,000
For the month of June, Bud's batting average is probably around 270.

727
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:50,000
Center fielder Mattie Allou, playing Harrelson to hit to the opposite field as he plays him over toward left center.

728
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:56,000
And a swing and a miss on a fastball, it's 2-2.

729
01:19:56,000 --> 01:20:00,000
Roberto Clementi drove home Mattie Allou in the third with the only run of the game.

730
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:12,000
Now we're in the last of the sixth inning.

731
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:14,000
Blass with his sign now from Jerry May.

732
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:19,000
The pitch to Harrelson, a shot through the hole of him, he's hit the left field.

733
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:23,000
So the tying run is on with nobody out, as Harrelson again gets the job done.

734
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:29,000
This time he's single to the opposite field, he hits the ball hard, through the hole.

735
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:36,000
Bud is now 2-3, the fourth hit of the game for New York, and coming up to hit is Leon Jones.

736
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:42,000
Leon has popped up the second and been struck out, nothing for 2.

737
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:47,000
Now a lively Monday night crowd here at Shea starts with a let's go, let's drive.

738
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:51,000
Maury Wills moves in close to third, looking for the bunt.

739
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:53,000
Lendena holding against the runner.

740
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:56,000
Now Blass up in pitching position.

741
01:20:56,000 --> 01:21:04,000
He turns around, doesn't offer, and it's a fastball high, one ball and a strike.

742
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:17,000
Leon bunts the runner over, and that's when we'll have Ken Boyer and Tommy Davis to try and tie the game up.

743
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:20,000
Outfield playing rather deep and a round toward left.

744
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:23,000
Again, Pittsburgh anticipates the bunt.

745
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:26,000
He squares around, doesn't offer, and it's high ball too.

746
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,000
Two balls and no strikes.

747
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:31,000
Now Jerry May trots back to the mound with the ball.

748
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:45,000
And Leon Jones checks with Sally Parker to see if things are still the same, or if they're going to play a waiting game.

749
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:55,000
Two balls and no strikes.

750
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:58,000
Lendena edging up the line toward home.

751
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:04,000
He squares around, bunts, fair ball, Lendena up with it, the play is going to first base in time for the odds.

752
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:09,000
Just for a moment, it looked like Lendena would gamble and fire the second.

753
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:14,000
But against the speed of Halston, he elected to play it safe and threw the ball to Masurowski, covering it first.

754
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:19,000
So Leon sacrifices his turn at bat trying to help build a run.

755
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:34,000
Harrelson goes into scoring position, and the batter's sub again is Ken Boyer.

756
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:48,000
Ken Boyer has been called out on strikes and grounded out third to first, nothing for two.

757
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:54,000
Now Blass looking in for his sign.

758
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:55,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

759
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:57,000
A slow grounder hit right back to the mound.

760
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:58,000
Blass grabs it.

761
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:04,000
He throws to first in time to get Boyer, and Harrelson moves over to third.

762
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:08,000
Now before Tommy Davis steps in, we'll pause for station identification.

763
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:11,000
This is the New York Mets baseball network.

764
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:24,000
This is Bill Edwardson asking you to start your day on the right note with me, 7 to 10 a.m. on the Big Bright Sound, here on WGY Connected.

765
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:33,000
Rod Murphy with Lindsey Nelson and Ralph Keiner from Shea Stadium where the Mets now have Bud Harrelson on third, a few men down, and Tommy Davis coming up.

766
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:37,000
Tommy has flied to right and flied to deep left field.

767
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:52,000
His drive to left was caught right up against the left field wall by Manny Jiminez.

768
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:55,000
Here's the pitcher against right-hand hitter.

769
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:57,000
Tommy Davis hitting three-seven.

770
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:03,000
Fastball outside, one ball and a strike.

771
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:07,000
Right here, Tommy Davis hoping to bag his 36th run batted end of the year.

772
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:12,000
If he can, this game is tied.

773
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:14,000
Beautiful Monday night crowd at Shea.

774
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:17,000
The paid crowd is 27,294.

775
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:21,000
And a total crowd of 28,152.

776
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:22,000
Now the pitch on the way.

777
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:24,000
Swing and a miss on a curveball.

778
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:35,000
One ball and one strike and Tommy Davis took about as hard a swing at that curveball as you can take.

779
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:38,000
Eddie Crane, we won't need a contact.

780
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:40,000
Pittsburgh 1, New York nothing.

781
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:46,000
Last of the sixth inning.

782
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:51,000
Now the windup by Blass, the pitch, swing and a miss and a high hard left.

783
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:53,000
That fastball was up in Tommy's eyes.

784
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:57,000
He went after it.

785
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:02,000
Tommy is strong, an aggressive hitter.

786
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:03,000
He likes the looks of it.

787
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:09,000
He really goes after it.

788
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:14,000
Now one ball, two strikes to Tommy Davis.

789
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:18,000
Speed of Blass, 25-year-old right-hander from Lakeville, Connecticut.

790
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:20,000
Good stuff.

791
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:23,000
Now the one-two pitch, a swing and a miss, he's dragging out.

792
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:27,000
And Blass, a fan of a tough hitter, Tommy Davis.

793
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,000
For Blass, strikeout number five.

794
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:32,000
No runs, one hit, no errors and one left.

795
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:34,000
The tying run, left-stranded on third.

796
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:38,000
At the end of sixth, the Pirates won and the New York Mets nothing.

797
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:45,000
The Big Tire.

798
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:54,000
The Big Tire.

799
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:57,000
The Big Tire, the Gulf Deluxe Crown.

800
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:12,000
The Big Tire.

801
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:15,000
Now in the top half of the seventh inning, it's Bill Masuratsky coming up for the Pirates.

802
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:19,000
The Pirates scored a run in the top half of the third inning, and it has stood up to this point.

803
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:22,000
They're right in front, one nothing through sixth.

804
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:24,000
For the Pirates, one run on seven hits and one error.

805
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:27,000
The Mets, no runs, four hits, no errors.

806
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:32,000
Bob Shaw's pitch to the right-hand batter, and it's one run, hits deep to left-center field, way back.

807
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:35,000
Going, going, gone.

808
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:38,000
A home run for Bill Masuratsky.

809
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:41,000
His fourth of this season.

810
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:46,000
It leaves off here in the seventh and puts the Pirates out in front by a score of two to nothing.

811
01:26:46,000 --> 01:27:01,000
Now it's Gene Alley, who's hitting 276 with four homers and 24 runs about at end.

812
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:04,000
In this game, he grounded out third, the person grounded into a double play.

813
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:06,000
He's a right-hand batter.

814
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:11,000
Bob Shaw's pitch, curve ball, and it's in there for a called strike.

815
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:15,000
Jerry May coming out to the on-deck circle now for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

816
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:23,000
Starting the night in fourth place in the National League standing.

817
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:27,000
And the pitch breaks low for a ball, it's one-one.

818
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:31,000
Now Don Shaw gets up to throw in the Met bow pen.

819
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:37,000
Tonight's baseball quiz, two pitchers share the American League mark for the lowest number of strikeouts to lead the league.

820
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,000
Can you identify them?

821
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:45,000
It's a one-one pitch and it's outside for a ball, two and one.

822
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:51,000
Nobody on, nobody out for the Pirates in the seventh with one run in.

823
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:56,000
On the home run by Masuratsky to make it Pirates two, Met's nothing.

824
01:27:56,000 --> 01:28:01,000
Now swinging a foul ball, off into the corner of the dugout of the Pirates and rebounding out of the playing field.

825
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:05,000
Run down by umpire, Sam Landis.

826
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:13,000
Levels are counted two and two.

827
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:16,000
This is a bobtail series between the Met's and the Pirates.

828
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:18,000
Play again tomorrow afternoon.

829
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,000
Curve ball in up the alley and left center.

830
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:22,000
Tommy Davis coming on, can not get to it.

831
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:28,000
He short hops it and whips it in and holding it first now is Gene Alley.

832
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:33,000
As Tommy Davis short hopped the ball out of the middle and took a quick look to see if he would get a call from the umpire.

833
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:41,000
It has happened, but both are getting down to Tommy and Sam Landis for indicating the ball is in play.

834
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:45,000
So the Pirates have a runner at first base, nobody out and Jerry Mays up.

835
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:53,000
He's one for two.

836
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:56,000
Bob Shaw works off the stretch, runner goes, here's a swing and a miss.

837
01:28:56,000 --> 01:29:04,000
He throws down to Buczak and he is safe at second base.

838
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:06,000
Solemn base for Alley.

839
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:09,000
Number three for Gene Alley.

840
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:18,000
Hidden round was on, Jerry Mays took a hefty cut and missed.

841
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:21,000
Now May steps back out of the batting box for a moment.

842
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:30,000
While umpire Mel Sanders comes around to brush off the plate.

843
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:33,000
Nobody out for the Pirates and the Sevens.

844
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:39,000
Bob Shaw delivers a swing and a high pop foul back into the seat and out of play.

845
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:53,000
Jerry Goodey gives it a run and now turns and goes back toward the plate.

846
01:29:53,000 --> 01:30:00,000
Nothing in two.

847
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:02,000
Shaw now checks.

848
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:09,000
The pitchers run out and hit one off the house and deep and short his play is at first base in time, the runner holds.

849
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:14,000
Alley on the bag at second base.

850
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:16,000
One away, pitcher Steve Blass is coming up.

851
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:30,000
The answer to the baseball quiz, Bobo Newsom and Tex Houston each struck out 113 American League hitters in 1942 to share the title.

852
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:37,000
Blass has been up twice in this game, he struck out both times and all show has struck out four and he's walked none.

853
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:38,000
Checks the runner at second.

854
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:41,000
Here's the pitch swung on and missed for strike one.

855
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:52,000
Maddie Alou has moved out on deck.

856
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:56,000
Again, Bob Shaw checks his runner and here is the strike one delivery.

857
01:30:56,000 --> 01:31:14,000
On the outside corner for a call, strike two.

858
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:18,000
Gene Alley leads the pitchers one out and missed the curve ball.

859
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:24,000
So Steve Blass has struck out three times and the fifth strike out credited to Shaw, they're at two away.

860
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:31,000
When you pull the tab on the Rhine Gold Chug-A-Mug, the top comes off with a hit that sounds like the good Rhine Gold flavor inside.

861
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:42,000
Six 12 ounce mugs to the curtain, you'll find them in the Chug-A-Mug special display at your local stores in New York and New Jersey.

862
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:49,000
Manager West Westrom calls, time goes to the mound now to talk to Bob Shaw about the possibilities here.

863
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:50,000
First base is open.

864
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:53,000
Alley is the runner at second.

865
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:56,000
Maddie Alou is at the plate and Maury Wills is on deck.

866
01:31:56,000 --> 01:32:03,000
So it's a short conference just to decide whether or not they'll put him on or pitch to it.

867
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:05,000
And they're going to put him on.

868
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:15,000
So an intentional walk will be issued to Maddie Alou to set up a fourth play at third and second.

869
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:24,000
They'll put two men out and they will pitch them to Maury Wills.

870
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:28,000
As ball four away outside and Maddie Alou gets rid of the lumber, goes down to first.

871
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:31,000
That is the first walk issued by Bob Shaw.

872
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:34,000
Maury Wills is coming up, switch at your batting left.

873
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:36,000
He's one for three tonight.

874
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:46,000
He's hitting 296 for the season.

875
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:49,000
No pitch as Maury Wills backed out of the bat.

876
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:54,000
It's not sure if he's ready to deliver but umpire Mel Steiner moved out and raised his hand.

877
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:57,000
Now runners lead first and second.

878
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:59,000
Shaw's pitch, swung on it on the ground to second base.

879
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:04,000
Puchak up with it, goes to Craneville and the side is up.

880
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:08,000
Now the Pirates get a run on two hits, no errors and two runs.

881
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:14,000
In the middle of the seventh the score is the Pirates two and the Mets nothing.

882
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:20,000
Say how would you like a trip to the World Series plus $10,000 to blow in a style of which you are unaccustomed.

883
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:24,000
That's the Grand Five and Rynegold score with the Mets game.

884
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:28,000
Along with 500 pairs of free Mets tickets every week.

885
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:30,000
And to play the game all you need is a pencil.

886
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:37,000
Just figure out how many runs the Mets will have scored from their first season's game to the mid-season All-Star break on July 9th.

887
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:39,000
You don't even have to buy anything.

888
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:44,000
Just pick up an official entry flank now at your local store or tavern in New York or Connecticut.

889
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:48,000
Where you see the Rynegold score with the Mets display.

890
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:52,000
Write down your estimates, stick on a stamp and drop it into the mailbox.

891
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:54,000
You can enter as many times as you want.

892
01:33:54,000 --> 01:34:02,000
Which is a good idea because in addition to the Grand Prize each entry is eligible for that week's drawing of 500 pairs of Mets tickets.

893
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:07,000
That's right we're giving away 500 pairs of Mets tickets each week.

894
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:09,000
So enter every week.

895
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:11,000
One of them is bound to have your name on it.

896
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:14,000
Play the $10,000 Rynegold game.

897
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:17,000
It's a great way for a Mets fan to get rich quick.

898
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:20,000
First right turn.

899
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:22,000
And break.

900
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:23,000
Now in the bottom of the 7th.

901
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:25,000
Ed Graenbohm is coming up.

902
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:26,000
He's 2 for 2.

903
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:27,000
The Mets fail by two runs.

904
01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:28,000
Steve Blass is on the mound.

905
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:30,000
He's been in all the way.

906
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:33,000
Limited the Mets before he hits to this point.

907
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:45,000
Blass has the sign.

908
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:47,000
Pitch to the left hand batter.

909
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:48,000
And it's a fastball low.

910
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:50,000
It's ball one.

911
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:51,000
Scheduled up in the inning.

912
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:55,000
Graenbohm, Swaboda and Vuchek for the Mets.

913
01:34:56,000 --> 01:35:00,000
Steve Blass has struck out five at each walk one.

914
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:06,000
1-0 pitch in there for a called strike.

915
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:13,000
Steve Mickelson's now throwing in the bullpen for the Pirates.

916
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:16,000
Late inning insurance, Pete Mickelson.

917
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:25,000
This will be a 1-1 pitch to Ed Graenbohm.

918
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:27,000
Lifts on the way.

919
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:28,000
Wings and misses.

920
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:29,000
Strike two.

921
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:30,000
It's 1 and 2.

922
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:38,000
A fine Monday night turnout to greet the Mets as they open up this home stand.

923
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:43,000
27,294 paid, UHA Stadium on Monday night.

924
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:50,000
It's tomorrow afternoon and the fills will be in the following night.

925
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:54,000
It's a swing and a base hit for Graenbohm in the center field.

926
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:57,000
One hop, half-second baseman Bill Maserati.

927
01:35:57,000 --> 01:35:59,000
Graenbohm is three for three.

928
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:01,000
Leadoff bases here in the seventh set.

929
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:03,000
That's a tying run at the plate.

930
01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:05,000
Graenbohm and Swaboda coming up.

931
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:08,000
Grounded under force play and grounded out.

932
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:16,000
Pete Mickelson continues to throw in the bullpen now for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

933
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:21,000
The Mets fans come alive as the Mets try to get something going here in the bottom half of the seventh inning.

934
01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:26,000
That was base hit number five for the Mets off C-Blast.

935
01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:32,000
Don Glenn Dunham comes over to hold against the runner Graenbohm.

936
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:35,000
C-Blast works off the stretch in the pitch to Swaboda.

937
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:38,000
Sliced foul down the right field line out of play.

938
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:41,000
The counties strike one.

939
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:55,000
Swaboda measures his stand, digs in a little bit at the plate.

940
01:36:55,000 --> 01:37:00,000
Graenbohm takes the short lead at first base.

941
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:03,000
C-Blast is up in set.

942
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:07,000
Here's a pitch that's inside. It's one and one.

943
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:10,000
Jerry Buczak's waiting on Dike.

944
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:23,000
Now the little man, Roy Faith, gets up.

945
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:27,000
Now the little man, Roy Faith, gets up to join Mickelson in the bullpen.

946
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:35,000
When the Mets in Pittsburgh recently took both ends of a twine-eyed double header from the Pirates' face

947
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:37,000
with the losing pitcher in each game.

948
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:41,000
Here's a one-one pitch and it's low and away for a ball. It's two and one.

949
01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:50,000
Glenn Dunham walks over a few steps on the infield grass to yell something across.

950
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:53,000
The pitcher, Steve Blass.

951
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:56,000
Nobody out for the Mets in the bottom half of the seventh inning.

952
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:02,000
The Pirates lead by a score of two to nothing.

953
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:05,000
This will be a two-one pitch to Swaboda.

954
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:20,000
Bow back off the screen and out of play and they count even to two and two.

955
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:32,000
Swaboda again, measures his stance.

956
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:36,000
Defensively the Pirates play Swaboda straight away.

957
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:43,000
This will be a two-two delivery and it's on the way.

958
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:47,000
Swung on and fouled out to the right side into the seats and out of play.

959
01:38:47,000 --> 01:39:00,000
Now the scramble is on for the souvenir.

960
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:10,000
Count holds it two and two to Swaboda with Cranepool at first and nobody out.

961
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:17,000
Blass then forward to take his time. Cranepool leads at first base. Two-two delivery.

962
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:20,000
High hopping ground ball and shortstop.

963
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:23,000
Taking it over to Mets for the fourth.

964
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:26,000
Swaboda going across the bag at first. No relay there.

965
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:32,000
Marty Wills ducks out of the way of the ground ball to allow Gene Alley to steal it and fire it over to Maserowski at second.

966
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:35,000
With a high hopper so there was no chance to double Swaboda.

967
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:40,000
He replaces Cranepool at the runner at first with one man out now and Vuchek coming up.

968
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:46,000
Vuchek struck out and walked.

969
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:52,000
At the end of this half inning we'll bring you up to date on scores of other games all around the major leagues.

970
01:39:55,000 --> 01:39:59,000
So it's Vuchek who's tying run to play now. Pirates lead two-nothing.

971
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:04,000
This pitch is low. Bounds in front of the plate is blocked by Jerry May.

972
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:07,000
No chance for Swaboda to advance.

973
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:10,000
Blass really cranked out on that one.

974
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:15,000
Came very close to being what Choo-Choo Coleman used to call a 55-foot curve ball.

975
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:27,000
Now again, Blass is set.

976
01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:31,000
Swinging a foul ball. Offspin out of play.

977
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:33,000
One and one to Vuchek.

978
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:50,000
The flag on the flag-saving center field, completely motionless at this point,

979
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:57,000
The flag on the flag-saving center field, completely motionless at this point.

980
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:07,000
No one-one delivery. Swung on and missed. It's one and two now to Vuchek.

981
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:10,000
Jerry Grudy waiting on deck.

982
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:18,000
Pirates have nine hits in the Mets at five.

983
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:31,000
One man out on a one-two count. Swaboda takes his lead.

984
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:36,000
He's swinging a high fly ball to right field, and Clemente goes back to the warning track,

985
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:41,000
and he's there and he puts it away. Halfway on the fly ball, the right Swaboda retreats to the bag at first,

986
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:44,000
and there are two men out.

987
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:51,000
Jerry Grudy is the batter, and he is being called back, and Larry Stahl is being sent up to bat for him.

988
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:55,000
Larry Stahl batting for Jerry Grudy.

989
01:41:57,000 --> 01:42:03,000
Stahl is a left-hand batter, an outfielder by trade.

990
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:10,000
Hitting 192 with four runs batted in. Five for 26.

991
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:34,000
Here it is, ladies and gentlemen, for New York, batting for Grudy, number 25, Larry Stahl, number 25.

992
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:44,000
Here comes Clyde King, the pitching coach of the Pittsburgh Pirates, out to the mound now for a word with Steve Blass and Jerry May

993
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:49,000
about the manner in which they will pitch to Larry Stahl.

994
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:58,000
King turns now and runs back toward the Pirate dugout.

995
01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:07,000
Pirates lead in this game two to nothing, with two men out. The Mets have a runner at first and Larry Stahl batting for Jerry Grudy.

996
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:19,000
Steve Blass off the stretch, and the pitch is low for a ball to Larry Stahl.

997
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:27,000
Bob Schaller is waiting on deck.

998
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:38,000
1-0 pitch, swung on and fouled back out of play.

999
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:47,000
Don Schaller still throwing in the bullpen for the New York Mets.

1000
01:43:47,000 --> 01:44:05,000
Steve Blass takes just a moment, taking a big deep breath before getting ready to work again for Larry Stahl.

1001
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:11,000
He has a sign, and this is a 1-1 pitch coming.

1002
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:15,000
Swung on and missed, it's 1-2.

1003
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:23,000
Now it's got a run in the third and another in the seventh.

1004
01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:36,000
Mets have five hits, but they have not been able to get more than one hit in any inning in this ballgame.

1005
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:53,000
1-2 pitch, swung on and missed, and Steve Blass with his sixth strike out of the night gets pinched at a Larry Stahl, and the side is out with no runs or hits, no errors and one left.

1006
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:58,000
The end of seven full innings, the score is the Pirates 2 and the Mets nothing.

1007
01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:11,000
Now scores of other games, first in the National League at Wrigley Field in Chicago this afternoon. Manager Leo DeRosier, Chicago Cubs, made it seven wins in a row with a 4-2 victory over Gene Marks, Philadelphia Phillies.

1008
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:20,000
Rich Nye started and got the win, Cal Coons in the sixth, Jeff Hartenstein in the ninth, Dick Farrell started and took the loss, Grant Jackson in the first and Dallas Green in the seventh.

1009
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:27,000
Billy Williams had his 13th home in the first with nobody on, and Ron Sando had his 13th home in the season in the first with nobody on.

1010
01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:33,000
Tonight at Crosley Field in Cincinnati at the end of five, the Dodgers 2, Cincinnati nothing.

1011
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:37,000
Rod Osteen going for his tenth win of the year against Mel Queen going for his ninth.

1012
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:46,000
In St. Louis at the end of two and a half innings, the league leading Cardinals have managed a red chain beat to the San Francisco Giants nothing.

1013
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:53,000
Jim Cosman who has just called up on the mound for the Cardinals and Gayloid Perry for the San Francisco Giants.

1014
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:59,000
The American League going to the bottom half of the seventh inning now, the Yankees won the Kansas City A's nothing.

1015
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:07,000
Fred Talbot relieved by Billy Mambo getting the seventh for the Yanks, Lindblad going for Kansas City, Tom Tresh, Homer to put the Yanks out front.

1016
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:16,000
Going to the bottom of the seventh in Baltimore, the league leading Chicago White Sox 2 and the Baltimore Orioles 2, Bruce Howard against Keith Rickards,

1017
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:21,000
Kurt Bleffrey and Smokey Burgess have had two run homers.

1018
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:30,000
Boston at Minnesota, latest start to warm up Jim Lomborg against Jim Cotton and Washington at California in a latest start.

1019
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:37,000
Roberto Clemente is up, Johnny Sullivan catching for the Mets, Bob Schaugh's pitch is outside.

1020
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:41,000
It's ball one with the Parrots up in the top half of the eighth inning.

1021
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:51,000
Clemente is two for three in this game.

1022
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:56,000
He's thinking of driving the first one and the third. Here's the pitch in for a called strike. It's one and one.

1023
01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:58,000
Here's the pitch in for a called strike. It's one and one.

1024
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:14,000
Parrots two, Mets nothing. Bob Schaugh has been an all-away, delivers outside to Clemente and it's two and one.

1025
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:17,000
Two and one.

1026
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:27,000
Two and one pitch. Swung on and fouled off to the right side out of play.

1027
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:34,000
Roberto Clemente has to be the finest ball player ever picked up in the minor league draft.

1028
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:39,000
Here's the property of the Brooklyn Dodgers.

1029
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:44,000
The Brooklyn Dodgers, they had them at Montreal and they thought they had them hit out pretty well.

1030
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:49,000
But the Parrots drafted them. He has lost them into a superstar.

1031
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:52,000
Here's the swing and a high pop foul to the right side out of play.

1032
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:58,000
Clemente threw his bat at that ball and he traveled halfway up the first base.

1033
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:03,000
And he stays alive with a 2-2 count.

1034
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:10,000
That year that the Dodgers had Clemente at Montreal, they thought they had him pretty well hit him.

1035
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:15,000
So much so that if there was any thought that a scout was in the stands anywhere, they didn't play him.

1036
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:21,000
Here's 2-2 pitch. Here's the swing and a high drop to deep right. It's way back and going back.

1037
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:25,000
It's for Roberto and he's there to make the catch.

1038
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:29,000
Clemente flying out to deep right field.

1039
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:32,000
Clemente flying out to deep right field.

1040
01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:38,000
Manny Jimenez hit by a pitch ball.

1041
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:41,000
Live to left, struck out swinging.

1042
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:48,000
Bob Shaw pitches it on the ground and Cranepool gloves it in the hole, throws it on to Shaw in time.

1043
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:52,000
A nice fielding play pulled out by Cranepool and Shaw.

1044
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:57,000
Cranepool moves his right one in the hole between first and second to glove the ground smash.

1045
01:48:58,000 --> 01:49:00,000
Third pitch, he's got it in the hole.

1046
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:03,000
Cranepool's got it in the hole.

1047
01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:06,000
Cranepool's got it in the hole.

1048
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:10,000
Bob Shaw, Cranepool moves his right one in the hole between first and second to glove the ground smash.

1049
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:14,000
Took the full pivot and pegged Bob Shaw who's coming full flight.

1050
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:16,000
To the left.

1051
01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:18,000
Don Clemente done it.

1052
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:22,000
Popped out, popped out and grounded into a fourth play.

1053
01:49:22,000 --> 01:49:32,000
And the pitch is low for a ball.

1054
01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:46,000
And this pitch is in for a called strike. It's one and one.

1055
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:53,000
Two in and out, nobody on base. Pirates two in the

1056
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:05,000
Bob Shaw with a one-one offering.

1057
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:09,000
And it's in for a called strike. It's one and two.

1058
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:15,000
And Ron Taylor is up and throwing along with Don Shaw.

1059
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:30,000
Billy O'Dell is throwing down the bullpen of the Pittsburgh Pirates, tuning up.

1060
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:34,000
Wim Dunnan back in and waiting as Bob Shaw deals a one-two curveball.

1061
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:38,000
It's only gone to third and on back and boy in the left field.

1062
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:41,000
It is a base hit.

1063
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:51,000
The official score is a base hit and that will bring up Bill Masurowski who has two hits, one of them a home run and the seventh inning.

1064
01:50:51,000 --> 01:51:03,000
The hit was number ten for the Pirates off Bob Shaw.

1065
01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:09,000
Two minutes with the runner at first. Show off the stretch and the pitch is fine and pops up to shortstop.

1066
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:16,000
Haraldson's there, puts it away and the side is retired with no runs.

1067
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:21,000
On a hit no errors and one left. In the middle of the eighth the score is the Pirates two and the Mets nothing.

1068
01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:24,000
When you buy a new car it's the dealer that makes the difference.

1069
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:32,000
That's why it's time for you to head for Armory Garage central at Calvin in Albany where there's a Plymouth or Chrysler to fit every pocket book.

1070
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:37,000
You know that you can buy the same car from any Plymouth dealer and you'll get the same warranty.

1071
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:43,000
The difference lies in the deals. Armory Garage is the area's volume Plymouth dealer.

1072
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:46,000
Volume sales allow Armory Garage to offer you that new car.

1073
01:51:47,000 --> 01:51:53,000
Bob Johnson's gonna pitch it for Bob Shaw. We pass the station identification. This is the New York Mets baseball network.

1074
01:51:54,000 --> 01:52:00,000
And the night shall be filled with music Monday through Friday 6.35 until midnight on the big bright sound of WGY Schenectady.

1075
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:07,000
This is Lindsay Nelson with Bob Murphy and Ralph Cantor at Shae Stadium in New York. Bob Johnson is up.

1076
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:15,000
The first pitch is a little high and it's off the finger. I'll catch you Jerry May.

1077
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:22,000
We're waiting to see if there were any indications of all the clicks off the bat but there's been none yet.

1078
01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:32,000
Johnson is 5 for 10 as a bench hitter. And now Mel Sanders signifies it is a strike.

1079
01:52:33,000 --> 01:52:40,000
It didn't click off the bat and he's getting the call chains on the scoreboard here at Shae Stadium. It is strike one.

1080
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:44,000
No. Now he's changing it back indicating it's ball one.

1081
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:54,000
Well here's the swing and the ground ball is short and it's taken by Alley and played over to Clint Denham so it's no consequence for his pitch because Johnson is grounded out short to first.

1082
01:52:56,000 --> 01:52:57,000
One away and it's a strike.

1083
01:52:57,000 --> 01:53:09,000
Well here's the swing and the ground ball is short and it's taken by Alley and played over to Clint Denham so it's no consequence for his pitch because Johnson is grounded out short to first.

1084
01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:13,000
One away and Bud Hamilton is coming up now.

1085
01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:17,000
Hamilton is 2 for 3.

1086
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:25,000
Matty Moda is in the ballgame now and left field for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

1087
01:53:30,000 --> 01:53:35,000
Harrison, switch hitter has been on base three straight times. He blasts with a pitch.

1088
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:41,000
In first strike as Harrison bluffs a bunch. So it's clear now what happened on the pitch a moment ago.

1089
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:50,000
When Siner was signaling with the index finger of his right hand so vehemently he wasn't indicating strike he was indicating Matty Moda is playing left field.

1090
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:58,000
Juan Pizarro is up and throwing down there in the pirate bullpen now. Blast delivers high and away and it's one and one.

1091
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:08,000
Leon Jones waiting on deck for the Mets batting in the bottom half of the eighth inning with the Pirates leading here by a score of 2 to nothing.

1092
01:54:08,000 --> 01:54:18,000
A blast for the one one pitch hit on the ground to second. Maseratsky has it to Clint Denham and they're two away for the Mets.

1093
01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:37,000
Leon Jones nothing but two and a sacrifice tonight.

1094
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:39,000
Leon Jones is down.

1095
01:54:47,000 --> 01:54:53,000
Leon settles himself in now. Steve Glass has struck out six and walked one in this game.

1096
01:54:53,000 --> 01:55:08,000
And it's in for a close strike. Ken Boyers on deck.

1097
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:29,000
Bring in a drive in the left center field. Tagged up that ball and it's taken by Moda and played back.

1098
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:34,000
Leon Jones keeps the Mets hopes alive here in the bottom half of the eighth.

1099
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:37,000
The swing of the left Ken Boyers tying run at the plate.

1100
01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:42,000
Leon Jones keeps his hitting streak going at sixth consecutive game.

1101
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:44,000
The Mets are down.

1102
01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:53,000
Base hit number six for the Mets.

1103
01:55:54,000 --> 01:55:56,000
Off Steve Glass.

1104
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:04,000
The pitch to Boyers.

1105
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:11,000
It's way back there. It's going going. It's a home run.

1106
01:56:35,000 --> 01:56:38,000
Ken Boyer with his first home run of this season.

1107
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:45,000
It's a ball out into the pirate bullpen over the left field wall and the score is tied 2-2.

1108
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:51,000
Tommy Davis up now with two men out and nobody on base and we have a brand new ball game.

1109
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:56,000
As the Mets have come from behind to tie the score.

1110
01:56:57,000 --> 01:57:01,000
Glass with a pitch low hits in the dirt comes in on one hop and it's ball one.

1111
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:07,000
Jerry Maycoe's time goes halfway to the mound tosses the ball out to Steve Glass who isn't very happy.

1112
01:57:08,000 --> 01:57:11,000
By having given up a home run to Ken Boyer.

1113
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:17,000
Boyer until that moment has driven in only four runs this entire season.

1114
01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:30,000
Got two RBIs there. Here's a pitch to Davis low and it's 2-0.

1115
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:37,000
Ron Taylor throwing down to the med bullpen. 2-0 pitch now and it is low.

1116
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:42,000
Glass goes behind three and out of Tommy Davis with Ed Crane full on deck.

1117
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:51,000
And Jerry Maycoe shots there. Well statistically now Bob Shaw is off the hook.

1118
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:57,000
He cannot be the losing pitcher. He was removed for a pinch hitter in this inning.

1119
01:57:58,000 --> 01:58:02,000
Here's a 3-0 pitch and it is low ball for it.

1120
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:09,000
The Mets get the go ahead run on it first and Harry Walker the manager of the Pirates is on his way to the mound.

1121
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:12,000
And that's all for Glass. We're going to get a pitching change.

1122
01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:18,000
He's at Pizarro throwing down the bullpen. Perhaps he wants the left hander to pitch to Crane full. We'll find out in a moment.

1123
01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:27,000
Now Juan Pizarro is walking over towards the electric curtain. He's going to get the right end from the bullpen.

1124
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:36,000
And that is all for Steve Glass. Harry Walker standing there at the mound but he's back to Glass looking out for the bullpen.

1125
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:41,000
Pizarro gets the right end to make his sixteenth appearance of this season.

1126
01:58:42,000 --> 01:58:45,000
Overall Pizarro has won three and lost six.

1127
01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:52,000
He pitched against the Mets on the sixth of June for the full nine innings.

1128
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:59,000
Gave up two runs and six hits with the losing pitcher in a 3-2 game.

1129
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:05,000
It went into extra innings I believe.

1130
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:23,000
Of course manager West Western can make a decision of allowing Crane full to hit. Crane full is three for three tonight against the right hander.

1131
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:30,000
Or he can go to his bench and get the likes of Tommy Reynolds or Hawk Taylor or Ed Charles.

1132
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:35,000
Crane full at this moment is going back into the dugout.

1133
01:59:36,000 --> 01:59:44,000
Steve Glass went for seven and two thirds. Gave up two runs on seven hits. Struck out section walk two.

1134
01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:49,000
Now Pizarro is on the mound.

1135
01:59:53,000 --> 01:59:58,000
He is obtained by the parrots from the Chicago White Sox during the off season.

1136
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:09,000
Crane full back out now ready to bat as soon as Pizarro has warmed up.

1137
02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:13,000
The end of three innings in St. Louis is the Cardinal two and the Giants nothing.

1138
02:00:14,000 --> 02:00:18,000
Gaylord Ferry against Jim Cosman at the end of six. Dodgers two something adding nothing.

1139
02:00:19,000 --> 02:00:21,000
Claudio standing against Mel Queen.

1140
02:00:22,000 --> 02:00:24,000
This afternoon the Cavs beat the Phillies four to two.

1141
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:27,000
At the end of seven the Yankees won Kansas City nothing.

1142
02:00:28,000 --> 02:00:31,000
Mamba's got against Sanford now both in relief. Trash Homer for the Yanks.

1143
02:00:32,000 --> 02:00:36,000
The end of seven the White Sox two and the Orioles two. Locker against Watt both in relief.

1144
02:00:36,000 --> 02:00:38,000
Leffrey and Burgess with home runs.

1145
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:42,000
Lost in administer to the warm up Jim Lomborg and Jim Cotts.

1146
02:00:43,000 --> 02:00:46,000
Washington and California late at start.

1147
02:00:47,000 --> 02:00:50,000
Listen to the chat of let's go Mets.

1148
02:00:55,000 --> 02:01:01,000
Crane and Fulgum tries to get the left hander against the right hander. He was three for three tonight.

1149
02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:05,000
That's the batting in the bottom half of the eighth inning with Tommy Davis on his three.

1150
02:01:06,000 --> 02:01:09,000
Two men out and the score is tied two to.

1151
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:17,000
Juan Fizarro is up and set.

1152
02:01:18,000 --> 02:01:22,000
Runner goes and the pitch is low and it's on the second and it's a stolen base.

1153
02:01:23,000 --> 02:01:25,000
The fourth for Tommy Davis.

1154
02:01:25,000 --> 02:01:31,000
Tommy Davis with a stolen base move the go ahead run in the scoring position.

1155
02:01:32,000 --> 02:01:34,000
One and oh the capture Crane boo.

1156
02:01:42,000 --> 02:01:45,000
Now Tommy Davis leads off the bag at second. Fizarro off the stretch.

1157
02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:49,000
One hole pitch to Crane boo. Low and away in the dirt dug out by Jerry May.

1158
02:01:49,000 --> 02:01:54,000
The fire is get your calls time and he goes out to the mound to have a talk with Juan Fizarro.

1159
02:02:02,000 --> 02:02:05,000
Roy Faison Billy Odell and I'll throw in the bullpen for the powering.

1160
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:09,000
Right hander Roy Faison left hander Billy Odell.

1161
02:02:11,000 --> 02:02:13,000
It will be a two oh pitch day at Crane boo.

1162
02:02:13,000 --> 02:02:20,000
The boat is waiting on day. Now the two delivery and it is in for a call strike.

1163
02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:23,000
Two and one the crane.

1164
02:02:31,000 --> 02:02:32,000
Again the pitch.

1165
02:02:33,000 --> 02:02:39,000
Swung on and looked out in the right corner field committee coming on coming on and committee makes the catch on the right.

1166
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:45,000
So the side is out. But the Mets picked up two runs on two hits after two were out.

1167
02:02:46,000 --> 02:02:51,000
No errors and one left. The end of eight full innings the score is the Mets two and the Parrots two.

1168
02:02:52,000 --> 02:02:58,000
When it came to defending home our country the woman's role has been traditionally passive.

1169
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:09,000
But the defense of freedom today requires such a complex structure that there are numerous opportunities for the American woman to take an active part in the service of our country.

1170
02:03:10,000 --> 02:03:18,000
For the college graduate these opportunities are even more inviting because she is eligible to serve as an officer in our Navy waves.

1171
02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:26,000
Today all America recognizes the wave officer as a woman who is more than dedicated to the heritage of our country.

1172
02:03:26,000 --> 02:03:33,000
She wants an honorable position one with responsibility one that she can fill with pride.

1173
02:03:34,000 --> 02:03:37,000
She told her Navy recruiter she'd like to become a wave officer.

1174
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:42,000
If you're a college graduate may we suggest you do the same thing.

1175
02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:55,000
You'll be helping yourself and your country see your Navy recruiter today.

1176
02:03:56,000 --> 02:04:04,000
Now in the do the pitching for the New York Mets is Ron Taylor making his 18th appearance he has won one and lost two.

1177
02:04:05,000 --> 02:04:08,000
Last time out in Atlanta he worked one and two thirds without no runs no hits.

1178
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:12,000
He picked up a victory against the Atlanta Braves by working a third of an inning.

1179
02:04:13,000 --> 02:04:22,000
So it's right hander Ron Taylor and as soon as he is warmed up he'll be working to right hand batter Jean Alley the shortstop of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

1180
02:04:23,000 --> 02:04:32,000
In case you've joined us along the way the Pirates went out in front in the top half of the third inning here tonight when Mattie Allou lined the single to center.

1181
02:04:32,000 --> 02:04:39,000
Moved to second on a hit and run play when Maury Wills grounded out second to first and then Roberto Clemente singled him home.

1182
02:04:40,000 --> 02:04:46,000
That run stood up until the seventh and Bill Masurowski hit a lead off homer and the Pirates had a two run lead.

1183
02:04:47,000 --> 02:04:49,000
And then after two were out in the bottom half of the eighth inning for the Mets.

1184
02:04:50,000 --> 02:04:53,000
Cleon Jones got a single to keep his hitting streak alive at sixth consecutive game.

1185
02:04:53,000 --> 02:05:02,000
And Ken Boyer stepped up and hit his first home run of this season into the Pirates bullpen over the left field fence to make it a 2 2 ballgame.

1186
02:05:04,000 --> 02:05:11,000
Neither of the starting pitchers is around now and the pitchers of record are the pitchers in the ballgame.

1187
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:20,000
Jean Alley grounded out, grounded into a double play and singled a left.

1188
02:05:28,000 --> 02:05:30,000
He's hitting 279.

1189
02:05:30,000 --> 02:05:39,000
Ron Taylor's pitch in for a called strike.

1190
02:05:44,000 --> 02:05:49,000
Flicked off the bat of Jean Alley says umpire Mel Steiner.

1191
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:52,000
Jerry May is waiting on deck.

1192
02:05:52,000 --> 02:06:02,000
Strike one pitch and it's low for a one and one.

1193
02:06:02,000 --> 02:06:10,000
Here's the one one offering low for a ball.

1194
02:06:11,000 --> 02:06:13,000
So Taylor goes behind two and one.

1195
02:06:14,000 --> 02:06:16,000
The Mets have two runs seven hits.

1196
02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:19,000
Pirates have two runs ten hits.

1197
02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:22,000
And the Pirates have a three run lead.

1198
02:06:22,000 --> 02:06:32,000
And the two one delivery is a chopper at a third and Boyer charges a three run lead.

1199
02:06:33,000 --> 02:06:35,000
And the Pirates have a three run lead.

1200
02:06:35,000 --> 02:06:54,000
And the two one delivery is a chopper at a third and Boyer charges comes up with it goes on the run in time.

1201
02:06:54,000 --> 02:07:06,000
So Alley is grounded out third to first and that'll bring up Jerry May who has won for three.

1202
02:07:06,000 --> 02:07:07,000
Number 12.

1203
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:25,000
Andre Rogers is coming out of the on deck circle.

1204
02:07:26,000 --> 02:07:28,000
Here's a swing and a looper and a right and a late start.

1205
02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:32,000
Right field around for butter and it falls in as a base hit for Jerry May.

1206
02:07:32,000 --> 02:07:37,000
Now Andre Rogers looks back to the dugout.

1207
02:07:38,000 --> 02:07:40,000
He is out there on deck as a perspective at it for Juan Pizarro.

1208
02:07:41,000 --> 02:07:46,000
However this might be a sacrifice situation and Rogers is looking now he's being called back.

1209
02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:49,000
And Al Luplo is going over to the bat rack.

1210
02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:55,000
Al Luplo who recently went from the Mets to the Pittsburgh Pirates is getting a bat.

1211
02:07:55,000 --> 02:08:01,000
He does not yet have a base hit with the Pirates.

1212
02:08:02,000 --> 02:08:04,000
He's gone over eight since down in the uniform of the Pirates.

1213
02:08:09,000 --> 02:08:11,000
So his season batting average is down to 177.

1214
02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:23,000
Luplo batting for Pizarro and manager West Westrom comes out now.

1215
02:08:23,000 --> 02:08:28,000
And the talk with Ron Taylor, John Sullivan and Ed Craneville.

1216
02:08:31,000 --> 02:08:34,000
With Luplo batting for Pizarro, Mattie Alou has moved out there on deck.

1217
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:49,000
Story time 2-2 but the Pirates have picked up a base runner here in the top of the ninth with one man out.

1218
02:08:49,000 --> 02:09:00,000
Al Luplo. Luplo is a down. He's a left hand batter.

1219
02:09:00,000 --> 02:09:14,000
Downs the plate and digs in a little bit.

1220
02:09:15,000 --> 02:09:18,000
Craneville holds against the runner Jerry May at first.

1221
02:09:19,000 --> 02:09:23,000
And the pitch is hung on. It's on the ground foul back at first. It's strike one.

1222
02:09:23,000 --> 02:09:30,000
Luplo looks down to sign man Alex Gramis on the coaching line at third.

1223
02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:41,000
Luplo wears contact lenses on the playing field. He wears conventional glasses at other times.

1224
02:09:42,000 --> 02:09:49,000
Ron Taylor sets and the pitch. Low for a ball as Taylor came overhand.

1225
02:09:49,000 --> 02:09:53,000
It's one and one.

1226
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:09,000
Again Ron Taylor looks down to get a sign from Johnny Sullivan.

1227
02:10:09,000 --> 02:10:21,000
The one one pitch. In for a call. Strike two. That's the knee. So it's one and two.

1228
02:10:25,000 --> 02:10:28,000
Pizarro out of the ball game of course with Luplo up here batting for him.

1229
02:10:28,000 --> 02:10:37,000
Roy Face and Vernon Law are throwing in the pirate bullpen.

1230
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:53,000
Jerry May takes his lead. The one two delivery. Low. Two and two.

1231
02:10:53,000 --> 02:11:06,000
Don Shaw is throwing in the med bullpen. A little lefty with a left hand batter Maddie Allou on deck.

1232
02:11:07,000 --> 02:11:12,000
One away for the pirates on the ninth.

1233
02:11:12,000 --> 02:11:23,000
Jerry May leads it first. The two two pitch to Luplo. It's deep to right. It's way back there if it stays there.

1234
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:35,000
And it is a foul ball. Just to the foul side of the foul pole. Way down in the right field corner.

1235
02:11:35,000 --> 02:11:43,000
Edwin was hanging up there a long long time and Jerry May cuts across the infield grass. Coming back to first.

1236
02:11:48,000 --> 02:11:52,000
Now it holds it two and two to Al Luplo as he gave that one a long ride.

1237
02:11:56,000 --> 02:11:58,000
With the match he had three home runs.

1238
02:11:58,000 --> 02:12:02,000
The long ball hitter.

1239
02:12:09,000 --> 02:12:14,000
Two two pitch. And he hits it deep to center. Leon Jones goes way back. He's at the warning track.

1240
02:12:15,000 --> 02:12:19,000
He makes the catch and Jerry May apparently thought there were two men out. He is rounded second.

1241
02:12:20,000 --> 02:12:22,000
He'll have to touch second going back to throw the first and double play.

1242
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:27,000
And so it is a double play that goes eight six three.

1243
02:12:28,000 --> 02:12:34,000
And Jerry May had a middle left. Thought that there were two men out and he ran all the way around almost to third.

1244
02:12:35,000 --> 02:12:37,000
Before Alex Gammis got the word to him.

1245
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:43,000
So on the long fly to center taken by Cleon Jones. And he's turned into a double play.

1246
02:12:44,000 --> 02:12:47,000
The side is out. No runs. They hit no other as man left.

1247
02:12:47,000 --> 02:12:52,000
Now in the middle of the night the score is a match two and the power is two. And now here's a word from Reingold.

1248
02:12:53,000 --> 02:13:00,000
Look. You can't pull the wool over their eyes. You can't hit the public around here.

1249
02:13:01,000 --> 02:13:08,000
You can't put one over on these guys. They'll put you right out on your ear.

1250
02:13:08,000 --> 02:13:19,000
In this town either you have it or you don't. Either you're a pro or you won't get very far.

1251
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:25,000
There are three hundred and two beers trying to make it in New York from all over.

1252
02:13:26,000 --> 02:13:31,000
But only one beer has made it to the top. The rich dry lager Reingold.

1253
02:13:32,000 --> 02:13:35,000
In this town either you have it or you don't.

1254
02:13:35,000 --> 02:13:40,000
In this town either you have it or you don't.

1255
02:13:41,000 --> 02:13:45,000
Either you're a pro or you won't get very far.

1256
02:13:46,000 --> 02:13:50,000
Either you have it or you don't.

1257
02:13:51,000 --> 02:13:53,000
Reingold.

1258
02:13:56,000 --> 02:14:00,000
The picture for the pirates now is little man Elroy Faith.

1259
02:14:00,000 --> 02:14:07,000
On the 6th of June in Pittsburgh the Mets took both ends of a twilight doubleheader from the Pirates.

1260
02:14:08,000 --> 02:14:14,000
Faith worked the last inning of each game and was the losing pitcher each time as the Mets won it one to nothing and three to two.

1261
02:14:15,000 --> 02:14:18,000
Faith overall is making his 25th appearance for the Pirates.

1262
02:14:19,000 --> 02:14:25,000
He has won four and lost only the two games that he lost to the Mets this season.

1263
02:14:25,000 --> 02:14:36,000
In the bottom of the ninth the Mets are scheduled to send up Ron Swabota, Jerry Buchak and John Sullivan to try to pull it out in the bottom half of the ninth inning.

1264
02:14:36,000 --> 02:14:43,000
There he goes, Jerry Mays throw down the second around the horn and Ron Swabota is coming up.

1265
02:14:44,000 --> 02:14:49,000
Round it into a force play, round it out and round it into a force play.

1266
02:14:50,000 --> 02:14:55,000
Of course the fans here chasted him the Mets and the Pirates were the winners.

1267
02:14:56,000 --> 02:14:59,000
The Pirates were the winners.

1268
02:14:59,000 --> 02:15:14,000
Round it into a force play, round it out and round it into a force play. Of course the fans here chasted him the Mets and the hopeful that Swabota or Buchak or Sullivan can get a hold of a one and give it a long ride out of the ballpark to end the ballgame.

1269
02:15:18,000 --> 02:15:20,000
Roy Faith takes the side.

1270
02:15:20,000 --> 02:15:28,000
And the pitch is outside for a ball.

1271
02:15:31,000 --> 02:15:37,000
At third base, Maury Wills is guarding the line, protecting against the extra base hit.

1272
02:15:37,000 --> 02:15:47,000
One open and it's in for a call strike, it's one and one to Swabota.

1273
02:15:50,000 --> 02:15:56,000
Bottom of the ninth with a score tied 2-2. Here's a one-one pitch, swung on and missed.

1274
02:15:56,000 --> 02:16:06,000
A slider and Swabota took a hefty cut, one ball and two strikes. Buchak kneeling in the on deck circle, defensively the Pirates plays Swabota straight away.

1275
02:16:06,000 --> 02:16:28,000
A little man now, and pitches. And it's outside, 2-2, Swabota was ready to go. Moved his body forward but did not swing the bat, so the count's level at 2-2.

1276
02:16:28,000 --> 02:16:35,000
Humpire Mel Santé comes around quickly to brush the plate.

1277
02:16:38,000 --> 02:16:43,000
The voters had four home runs and twelve runs vetted in this year.

1278
02:16:43,000 --> 02:17:08,000
This is a 2-2 pitch. Foul back and out of play and the count continues at 2-2.

1279
02:17:08,000 --> 02:17:15,000
Again Roy Fates, goes to the rubber to take the sign.

1280
02:17:16,000 --> 02:17:24,000
Swinging a ground ball foul back of third, Maury Wills over bare hands and flips it right back to Roy Fates.

1281
02:17:24,000 --> 02:17:37,000
So the count continues 2-2.

1282
02:17:37,000 --> 02:17:53,000
Swabota swings the bat as he waits. The pitch, swung on and missed. Roy Fates strikes out Swabota. First strike out, four-face. Steve Blass struck out sixth.

1283
02:17:54,000 --> 02:18:00,000
Jerry Buchak's up. He struck out, walked and flied deep to right.

1284
02:18:00,000 --> 02:18:10,000
Buchak is a right-hand batter.

1285
02:18:11,000 --> 02:18:17,000
Johnny Sullivan moves out on deck.

1286
02:18:17,000 --> 02:18:29,000
Pitch is in for a called strike. Right-hand pitcher working to a right-hand batter here.

1287
02:18:29,000 --> 02:18:48,000
Bards play Buchak straight away as well. Here's a swing and a ground ball up the middle. Nazarovsky will behind the bag, gets rid of it over the first and not in time. He's there safely. The throw was in the dirt and Glendening tried to scoop it up and could not come up with it cleanly. He sort of scooped it up into the air. It's a base hit for Jerry Buchak.

1288
02:18:49,000 --> 02:18:56,000
He becomes potential winning run. Here in the bottom half of the ninth inning with one man out, left-hand batter John Sullivan coming up.

1289
02:18:56,000 --> 02:19:00,000
John Sullivan, number 28.

1290
02:19:01,000 --> 02:19:09,000
Nazarovsky went in behind the bag a second to get that ground ball, got rid of it in a hurry, but did not have enough on it to get it over there all the way.

1291
02:19:10,000 --> 02:19:20,000
Don Shaw throwing in the bow pin for the mess with Ron Taylor moving out on deck. Score tied 2-2. Buchak leads it first, face for the pitch. Hung on, that missed, strike one.

1292
02:19:20,000 --> 02:19:25,000
Sullivan's up for his first time in the game.

1293
02:19:28,000 --> 02:19:33,000
Hitting 191. We had one run battered in.

1294
02:19:38,000 --> 02:19:45,000
The pitch in for a called strike two to Sullivan who stares at the plate.

1295
02:19:45,000 --> 02:19:52,000
And now Roy Face has gone ahead. He has an 0-2 count to the left-hand batter. Glendening is holding against the runner at first base.

1296
02:19:53,000 --> 02:19:59,000
Here's a swing and a drive in the right field coming on it for Mitty. He can't get it. He goes mostly slow.

1297
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:08,000
Buchak ground second on his way to third. Mitty falls down, gets up with the ball, throws the first. Buchak's at third and Sullivan's at first.

1298
02:20:08,000 --> 02:20:18,000
Well, Clemente was battling it every step of the way and it was battling back out in right field. It was a line smash. Clemente decided he would try to shoestring it.

1299
02:20:19,000 --> 02:20:25,000
It went off his glove and rolled a dozen feet away. If he got to it, he slipped down.

1300
02:20:25,000 --> 02:20:40,000
It is scored as a single. No error. A single all the way. No error on Clemente as it is the opinion of the official scorer that Buchak should have gone from first to third.

1301
02:20:41,000 --> 02:20:48,000
So now the potential winning runner is at third base. We're going to get a pinch runner. Dick Selma comes in to run for John Sullivan at first base.

1302
02:20:48,000 --> 02:21:01,000
Selma runs for Sullivan. Ed Charles is going to come up now to bat for Ron Taylor. One man out. The Pirates will have to play it here to try to choke off the run.

1303
02:21:01,000 --> 02:21:21,000
Ed Charles is batting for Ron Taylor. Dick Selma is running for Johnny Sullivan.

1304
02:21:21,000 --> 02:21:30,000
Now the Pirates move the outfield in because the long play ball will end the ball game anyway. So the outfield is playing shallow.

1305
02:21:31,000 --> 02:21:38,000
The infield is set halfway so they can still try to go for the double play or possibly make a play at the plate.

1306
02:21:39,000 --> 02:21:43,000
Charles is the right hand batter. Roy Faith working.

1307
02:21:43,000 --> 02:21:56,000
He's taking a time. I'm catching Jerry May. Now he goes up and set and the pitch.

1308
02:21:56,000 --> 02:22:12,000
The next win it as the run crosses the plate. Selma goes on to third. Charles with a single to left center and a run batted in and the Mets win it by a score of three to two.

1309
02:22:13,000 --> 02:22:18,000
Getting their tenth hit of the ball game to win it. And again Roy Faith is the losing pitcher in this ball game.

1310
02:22:18,000 --> 02:22:33,000
Ed Charles drives Buczak in from third base. It was a streaming line drive out into left center field. So Ron Taylor is the winner and Roy Faith once again is the losing pitcher in this ball game.

1311
02:22:34,000 --> 02:22:38,000
We'll be back here in a moment with a final summary and totals.

1312
02:22:38,000 --> 02:22:50,000
Right now the repeat this to El Gato is Blanco El Gato is Blanco. We didn't already. El Mundo is Redondo El Mundo is Redondo.

1313
02:22:51,000 --> 02:22:57,000
In the Peace Corps you'll be taught the language of the country you're going to so well. You learn to eat in it. Sleep in it.

1314
02:22:58,000 --> 02:23:05,000
Play basketball in it. Plant crops in it. Build bridges in it. Make roads in it. And even dream in it.

1315
02:23:05,000 --> 02:23:12,000
Peace Corps training must be as tough as Peace Corps work. It's the only way you can get in shape for it.

1316
02:23:13,000 --> 02:23:23,000
Take Dick Olmstead. After he joined the Peace Corps he built eight chicken coops, three lean-to's, dug four latrines and planted a four acre garden.

1317
02:23:24,000 --> 02:23:33,000
Then we sent him overseas. This is how the Peace Corps works for peace. Would you like to work for peace? You may be qualified.

1318
02:23:33,000 --> 02:23:38,000
Write the Peace Corps in Washington for an application.

1319
02:23:48,000 --> 02:23:58,000
Well the New York Mets have come from behind to pull one out here tonight against the Pittsburgh Pirates, winning it by a score of three to two and winning it in the bottom half of the ninth, any one man out when the winning run was scored.

1320
02:23:58,000 --> 02:24:07,000
Starting out it was Steve Blass working on the mound for the Pittsburgh Pirates and Bob Shaw for the New York Mets and the Pirates scored first in the top half of the third inning.

1321
02:24:08,000 --> 02:24:16,000
Mattie Allou singled a center field. On a hit and run play Maury Wills grounded out and moved Allou to second. Roberto Clemente singled a right driving in the first run of the ballgame.

1322
02:24:17,000 --> 02:24:22,000
It stayed one nothing until the seventh inning. Then Bill Maseratky had a lead off home run and the Pirates had a two run lead.

1323
02:24:22,000 --> 02:24:33,000
The Mets meanwhile were getting nowhere against Steve Blass but in the bottom half of the eighth inning with two men out, Cleon Jones kept his hitting streak alive at six consecutive games with a single to left center.

1324
02:24:34,000 --> 02:24:43,000
Ken Boyer stepped up to the plate and on the first pitch by Blass to Boyer he homered into the bullpen over the left field fence and we had a brand new ballgame at 2-2.

1325
02:24:43,000 --> 02:24:52,000
It was Boyer's first home run of this season and then after Tommy Davis threw a walk Blass came out, Pizarro came in, got Craneville to fly out and end that inning.

1326
02:24:52,000 --> 02:25:12,000
Then the Pirates threatened in the ninth inning when they got Jerry May aboard. Ron Taylor was in the ballgame in relief at that point for the New York Mets but the Mets got out when Jerry May suffered a mental lapse and after a long fly ball was hit by Al Luplo batting for Pizarro to center field.

1327
02:25:12,000 --> 02:25:21,000
Jerry May took off all the way around second and was almost at third before he realized there was only one man out until he had no chance to get back from it completing the double play.

1328
02:25:22,000 --> 02:25:29,000
Then in the bottom half of the ninth inning with one man out Jerry Buczak got a base hit when he hit a ground ball up the middle.

1329
02:25:30,000 --> 02:25:33,000
Mazurowski played it over the first but in the dirt and Buczak was on with a base hit.

1330
02:25:33,000 --> 02:25:41,000
Sullivan lined the ball to right field, Clemente decided to try to shoestring it. It was off his glove, rolled a dozen feet away when he got to it he fell down.

1331
02:25:42,000 --> 02:25:49,000
It was scored as a single and Buczak went all the way to third. Then Ed Charles came up to bat against Roy Faius working in relief for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

1332
02:25:50,000 --> 02:25:55,000
And Ed Charles lined a shot to left center to drive in the winning runs and the Mets had won the ballgame.

1333
02:25:55,000 --> 02:26:06,000
In one run ballgames now the Mets have won 12 and lost 7. The Mets are now one game and three percentage points in tonight's play in the National League standing.

1334
02:26:07,000 --> 02:26:15,000
The winning pitcher is Ron Taylor who has won two and lost two. The loser is Roy Faius who has won four and lost three and the Mets have beaten him all three times.
