00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Chicago Cubs faced the Pittsburgh Pirates for a Sunday doubleheader at Forbes Field on June 28th, 1970.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:23,000
The Cubs were optimistic under manager Leo DeRocher, which after decades as a sub-500 team were finally on the rise, having finished in second place in 1969.

4
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,000
The Pirates were coached again by Danny Murtaug, who had managed the team several years earlier before moving up to their front office.

5
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Despite aging stars like Clemente and Masgrowski, the 1970 Pirates had a solid core of youngsters like Stargell, Al Oliver, Dave Cash, and Doc Ellis that would lead the franchise into a lot of success through the 1970s.

6
00:00:42,000 --> 00:01:03,000
This audio recording is from Game 2 of the Doubleheader, from the Pittsburgh Radio broadcast featuring announcers Bob Prince, Nellie King, and Gene Osborne.

7
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:23,000
The game is now on the Cubs, and the final professional Pittsburgh Pirate baseball game will be played in Forbes Field after 61 years.

8
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Today's game will be sent your way by your colorful Pittsburgh paint stealer, where you can select from a rainbow of colors.

9
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000

Both clubs have come back to the Nugouts.

17
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:23,000
The batting order for the Chicago Cubs, the battering Milt Pappas on the mound, and J.C. Martin behind the plate.

18
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,000
For the Chicago Cubs, leading off and playing a shortstop will be Don Kessinger.

19
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Kessinger at short.

20
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Hitting second and playing at second base will be Paul Popovich.

21
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Popovich at second.

22
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Batting third and in left field, Billy Williams. Williams in left.

23
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Batting fourth and at first base, Jim Hickman. Hickman at first.

24
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,000

00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Batting sixth and in right field, Johnny Callison. Callison in right.

26
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Hitting seventh and playing in center field will be Cleon James. Cleon James in center.

27
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Hitting eighth and doing the catching will be J.C. Martin. Martin catching.

28
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
And batting ninth and doing the pitching will be the veteran right-hander, Milt Pappas.

29
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
He will be making his first start.

30
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000
This coming to Chicago from Atlanta.

31
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:24,000
And for the Bucks, who get a fine ovation now as they come out of the Nugouts and head on to the field.

32
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Leading off and playing in center field will be Maddie Halleux.

33
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Batting second, the third baseman, Richie Hefner.

34
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Hitting third and in right field will be Al Oliver.

35
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Batting fourth and in left field, Willie Scarchill.

36
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Batting fifth and at first base, Bobby Robertson.

37
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Hitting sixth, the shortstop will be Gene Alley.

38
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Batting seventh and doing the catching will be Jerry May.

39
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Hitting eighth, the second baseman will be Bill Mazurowski.

40
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,000
And batting ninth and doing the pitching will be Jim Nelson.

41
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Nelson comes into the ball game with a record of two and nothing.

42
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:18,000
By virtue of the victory in the first game of a double header, a real friller here.

43
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:25,000
The Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates are divided by another full game.

44
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:31,000
It seems that as of right now, the Cubs lead them by a game and a half.

45
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
So that victory string was a big one.

46
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000
It's extended to six. It's the longest winning streak for the Bucks this year.

47
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000
For the Cubbies now, they have lost nine in a row.

48
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Nelson, who has turned everything around.

49
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Last Monday night in the second game of the double header,

50
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
will toe the pitching rubber for this one this afternoon, Nelly.

51
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Well, he sure did and a real gutty performance.

52
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Just a kind of a fellow that has the same attitude as Bob Moot.

53
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000
I don't think he's overwhelmed with victory and he's not saddened by any kind of defeat or bad performance.

54
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
He's kind of even tempered.

55
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000
And Steve Blass put it pretty well last night.

56
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,000
We're out at Greengate Mall and he's talking about Jim Nelson.

57
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,000
He said he's the kind of a guy that you can hit with everything you've got.

58
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000
You knock him down and he just keeps coming back.

59
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000
He doesn't know what he's with.

60
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
And it's a kind of intangible.

61
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000
You cannot scout for it, but really great pitches and I think great athletes have.

62
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
And I think this guy can be one of them.

63
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
He doesn't have an overpowering fastball,

64
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,000
but he's got that good palm ball that sets up the fastball good

65
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
and he challenges hitters from the time he walks in and around until he gets out.

66
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Bob, we have nine innings to go and hopefully the Cubs will bow again to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

67
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
But as you come on for the start of this game,

68
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:56,000
there must be a little sadness in one Robert Prince after all these years.

69
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Maggie, Gene, Nellie, hello again everybody.

70
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
There's more than a little sadness.

71
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,000
It's a tremendous overpowering amount of grief in a sense.

72
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:11,000
It's one of the real tough things to do because I realize this is where I received my start.

73
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000
In the late Rosie Rosewell I've seen so many wonderful and great thrills.

74
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:25,000
And to know now that I have approached the final, absolutely totally final end of this ballpark

75
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:31,000
is something that's like losing a dear loved one not quite as bad when you expect them to pass away.

76
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,000
So when it doesn't happen, you're still on grief rips.

77
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000
All right, Kessinger in at 289, one home and an 18 runs batted in.

78
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Coaching in third is Phoenix Lowry over to first, Julian Alpotano, Jimmy Nelson 2-0 on the air.

79
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Now Nelson works and the palm ball is hit foul by the first 0-2.

80
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,000
The Buccos won the front game 3-2 and that's now history.

81
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:08,000
The bat is broken and Kessinger needs a new wedge.

82
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000
I just had the pleasure of being on television in the Chicago area with Jack Brickhouse,

83
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
the veteran Chicago caster.

84
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:21,000
I've had the pleasure of working several All-Star games and the veteran voice of the Cubs.

85
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,000
And we got kind of nostalgic because he and I both had some fine memories of this ballpark

86
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:35,000
and working here in an All-Star game together and elsewhere.

87
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000
But that's something.

88
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000
This is the end of the old lady.

89
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Ball outside, 1-2.

90
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:51,000
And the horse, our Nicky, here, the ground keeper par excellence, Krusty Fitzberg,

91
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
and everything will sometime be over here watching it go.

92
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,000
There's a face hit to left by Kessinger.

93
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Gooped up by Sturgill, he goes to the opposite field off Nelson's palm ball.

94
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Significantly Chicago's Cubs who open here close here,

95
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:16,000
but their opening victory 1909 was by a score of 3-2.

96
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:22,000
We had two close games on the series yesterday afternoon and the first one today, Bob.

97
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Yep, and the score in game one was 3-2, I would.

98
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,000
So we paid them back.

99
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,000
I'd like to do it again, 3-2, and let them know we were any minute.

100
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Throw over to first base, we're Bobby Robertson.

101
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Grab the ball, Kessinger's back.

102
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:40,000
There's Paul Popovich in second baseman, 2-63, three homers in ten runs batted in.

103
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Sturgill, DeLue, and Oliver, the outfield.

104
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Hebner, Alley, Mazarovski, Robertson, the infield.

105
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Let's throw to first base, Kessinger just does scramble back.

106
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Left hand batting Paul Popovich.

107
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Jim Nelson checks it first, delivers.

108
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Swing him up outtips, strike one.

109
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000
He plays Jerry May.

110
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:12,000
He walked to drive in a big run in the late stages of the ball game.

111
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,000
And then Justy got in some trouble and Luke Walker came in striking out banks and

112
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
running out of batter and it was all over, 3-2 with the bases loaded.

113
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000
There's a ball hit off the right side, diving mass can't get it.

114
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000
It's going to be on in for a base hit and the right center, Kessinger's on his way into third.

115
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:35,000
And so we now have runners in first and third with nobody out.

116
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:46,000
And the batter will be the left fielder Billy Williams at 2-9-0, 19 homers and 61 runs batted in.

117
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:56,000
And third, playing left field, number 26, Billy Williams.

118
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,000
And so we're on the outfield here now to Billy Williams.

119
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Billy in the front game, one for four.

120
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Popovich just playing in this game, did not appear in the first game.

121
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,000
There's a drive into the gap in the right center, the ref and Nelson in a hurry.

122
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,000
That'll drive in one run.

123
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Luke fires the ball into Mazarosti, first and third occupied and we're up with action in our both in Orlando, Pennsylvania.

124
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Out of batter is Jim Hickman who is one for three in the first game.

125
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:38,000
He's batting 331, 18 homers, 51 runs batted in.

126
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,000
So the Cubs take a lead here and threaten to pop it open if they can.

127
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Orlando, Pennsylvania shouldn't take a lot of loosening up as he was up several times in the first game.

128
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:55,000
But you'll have to stop Chicago here if they possibly can without further damage.

129
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:00,000
First and third occupied and nobody out.

130
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:07,000
The pitch, palm ball up high, one ball and no strikes.

131
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Kessinger opened up with a two-strike single through the gap in left.

132
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Popovich then single into right center and Williams did likewise, driving Kessinger home and putting Paul Popovich to third.

133
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Palm ball, strike is called, one and one, Hickman checking off.

134
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:37,000
One ball and one strike.

135
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Fast ball into the dirt, blocked down nicely by Jerry May, one and two and one.

136
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Two balls, one strike.

137
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Jimmy Nelson in trouble.

138
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:07,000
The right-hand batting Hickman the pitch, just inside and it's three and one.

139
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Chicago leading here one and nothing in the second and the final game.

140
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Between these two teams are pirates or anybody at force.

141
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Three balls and a strike.

142
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:31,000
Right-hand batting Jim Hickman, now a throw over to first base and the batter or the runner there, Williams, is back.

143
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Three balls, one strike.

144
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Outfield around to the left, Don Hickman.

145
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Now the look by Nelson, three-one pitch and it's driven deep to left hooking and it's going to be foul.

146
00:12:51,000 --> 00:13:02,000
So we have a 3-2 count and we'll watch Williams now.

147
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Popovich is third and Williams is first.

148
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Shots lead, one nothing.

149
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
We're in the top half of the first of game two.

150
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Pirates won the first game three to two before a sellout-thrown standing room only crowd.

151
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,000
And the pitch.

152
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,000
There's the palm ball, hit towards third, Hefner gets it, holds the runner there.

153
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,000
They come to the plate now and they got the run in the mouth as Nelson interferes.

154
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Now Hefner's back down and they got a double play.

155
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Now DeRocchi's going to argue for interference on the part of Nelson.

156
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:45,000
I called interference on the part of Nelson but I don't know whether or not the umpire feels I've had anything to do with a double play.

157
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,000
We're going to have to wait and see.

158
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Now what happened was the ball was hit by Hefner.

159
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Down to Hefner.

160
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Hefner came up with it and held the runner Popovich for a moment.

161
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Then he threw the second base, that's towards Williams by four.

162
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Mazz came home with the ball and as Popovich was coming down the line at third,

163
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,000
he was bumped by Nelson coming across the cover on his way.

164
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
And then they got him in a run down.

165
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:19,000
And it looks as though they're going to hold a rule to DeRocchi but they were definitely bumping around on the part of Jimmy Nelson.

166
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,000
As I called it for you when it occurred.

167
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,000
The ruling will stand and it will be a double play.

168
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:34,000
And Hickman will be at first base on what is a force play.

169
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:45,000
And Williams will be out five to four and Popovich will be out four to Hefner.

170
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,000
With a two in there catching four to five.

171
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:56,000
So you have a very unusual double play and they do not rule interference.

172
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Rather unusual two out.

173
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,000
So over to first Hickman is back.

174
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,000
So put Hickman on first on a force play.

175
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,000
He rates Williams five to four.

176
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Then had Mazz come to the plate.

177
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Swing and a miss by Sento.

178
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:28,000
And then he goes to Hefner who puts down Popovich who claimed he was interfered with as Nelson ran into him.

179
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,000
Coming over to cover up halfway between third and home.

180
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Ron Sento over three in the first game batting at two thirty.

181
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,000
No balls of strike.

182
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Palm ball inside one and one.

183
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:49,000
I have to go on the assumption that the umpires that I know they saw the bumping around.

184
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,000
Any doubt about that bumping around business?

185
00:15:53,000 --> 00:16:00,000
The question is whether or not in their opinion the runner was obstructed in such a way that he could not either get home or go back to third.

186
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:05,000
And it is obviously a rule that he could not do either.

187
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:16,000
That is why I am sure Al Barlich in third base umpire or played umpire bar go felt there was nothing to it.

188
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Two balls and a strike.

189
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,000
It was so far down the line that there was in any way you could get him either way.

190
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,000
That he could get back either way.

191
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
But there was definite bumping.

192
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Alright two balls and a strike.

193
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Sento to batter.

194
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000
Now the two one pitch.

195
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Over the plate for a strike two and two.

196
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:55,000
So Eddie Bargo of Butler, Pennsylvania who as a youngster saw many a game here at Forbes goes the honor of calling the last game in the major league to be performed at Forbes field.

197
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Two balls two strikes.

198
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000
That won't make one with a difference to him behind that plate.

199
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,000
He just knows it is two teams going and that is as far as he knows.

200
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:13,000
From that time on if the ball or a strike you are safe or you are out.

201
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Two balls two strikes.

202
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,000
The look at first to pitch to Sento.

203
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Ball outside three and two.

204
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Hickman will be up and going.

205
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,000
This opened up with a single by Kessinger.

206
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Single Popovich.

207
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Single Williams.

208
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,000
And Pena warming up.

209
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Now he is just lobbing with two down and Hickman the runner at first.

210
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,000
This represents right here I would think for Nelson a very key out.

211
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Three balls two strikes.

212
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Hickman takes off.

213
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Palm ball pops him up.

214
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,000
And Heffner and Alley.

215
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,000
And it is Alley saying I got it.

216
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:54,000
And he is there for the eye.

217
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,000
One run on three hits.

218
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,000
No errors.

219
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,000
And one left.

220
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:03,000
And we go to the bottom of the first Chicago leading one and nothing.

221
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,000
The Arctic Tundra.

222
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Twelve inches of vegetation covering frozen ground a thousand feet deep.

223
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,000
When Atlantic Richfield Company discovered oil on Alaska's north slope,

224
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000
the place we call the Arco Circle,

225
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,000
we found out if you disturb the tundra you cause erosion.

226
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,000
A tire track can cause a 50 foot gorge.

227
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:25,000
We stopped driving our trucks across it and started experiments with 13 different kinds of grass seed

228
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000
so that if erosion occurs we'd be ready.

229
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
The seeding has to be done by hand.

230
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000
The fertilizing has to be done by helicopters.

231
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000
And the grasses will have to be incredibly hardy to make it.

232
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:40,000
But if they do, there will be a way to protect the delicate tundra forever.

233
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000
At Atlantic Richfield Company,

234
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:47,000
we're doing this because we believe drilling for oil and conservation go together.

235
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:52,000
We went all the way to Alaska to drill for oil so we can provide your local Atlantic dealer

236
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,000
the finest Arco petroleum products for your car.

237
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Music

238
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Music

239
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,000
Bill Paffert to that hander, 2 and 2 on the hill.

240
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Howdy, Alou batting.

241
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Music

242
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Here's the pitch.

243
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,000
And Alou owns the foul in the play.

244
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Alou won for four in the first game, batting a 276.

245
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Rusty Staff, it is 11th from Montreal and the 8th with one on, they lead 3 to 2.

246
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:08,000
They're leading the Mets 3-2 and still batting.

247
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Now the 0-1.

248
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,000
Ball inside in account of one ball and one strike.

249
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Try to learn of the passing and Jim Spock, the manager of WLEM on our prior radio network.

250
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:28,000
The manager of WLEM, that's our fierce enemy, the Longer's family.

251
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Curve ball, first strike, 1 and 2.

252
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:42,000
At the end of eight innings in Montreal, the Montreal Expos lead the New York Mets 3-2.

253
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,000
One ball, two strikes, the pitch.

254
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Ball outside, 2 and 2.

255
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Carl Morton and Sadecki are hooked up there and Morton has three outs to go to help the Buccos gain a game.

256
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Hear the crowd roar?

257
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Two balls, two strikes.

258
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,000
Alou hits a high fly ball down the right field line.

259
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Callison running very hard, running, running, running.

260
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:14,000
It's a foul ball if Callison can't get to it.

261
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Funny thing, I was just talking with Jack Brickhouse.

262
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:25,000
We were going around the park looking at things that I'm going to sorely miss just from the way of views.

263
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:31,000
And we showed the scoreboard and said when we take this down, you'll have the only one left in the major leagues

264
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,000
where you see the inning by inning.

265
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:39,000
You can see the charm of that with the crowd roaring when they see Montreal get two up there

266
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,000
because the folks are cognizant of what we did in the first game that are here.

267
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,000
They're aware of what we're doing in this game.

268
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,000
A foul up the long third.

269
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000
It may be a play for Santo this time.

270
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:58,000
The ball's drifting on him and the snatch is a beautiful play by Ron Santo.

271
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,000
And when you saw the two come up here, you heard that crowd roar.

272
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Now when you really hear the roar is if they just start taking down the numbers

273
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,000
and put it up Montreal free in a New York match two.

274
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,000
The way this race is going, we need all the help we can get,

275
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,000
but we can't do anything about what's going on in Montreal.

276
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
What's going on right here we've got to worry about.

277
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Hefner who is one for three in the first game, hitting a three on the hand.

278
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Here's the pitch.

279
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Swing and a miss, strike one.

280
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Cubs lead one and nothing.

281
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Cubs won the first game three to two.

282
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,000
No balls, one strike.

283
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000
The outfielder out to the right.

284
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
There's Hefner.

285
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Al Oliver on deck.

286
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000
That was the right hander works and there's a high fly ball out of the center field.

287
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Three-o-three-o-chain drifting over to the left.

288
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,000
He's there and it's two-outs.

289
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Cubs won and the Pirates nothing.

290
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:02,000
The right field and Al Oliver at two-five-o-five homers and 31 runs batted in.

291
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,000
One thing I'm going to request of you, Nelly, I'm going to want,

292
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,000
I know you can prepare it in due time.

293
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,000
I'd like to score a correct time by everybody that played in the last game.

294
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:20,000
We'll get Chicago and we'll get Chicago and then make me up a little plaque, if you will, ball outside.

295
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:27,000
I'd like to have the plaque, if you don't mind, of the last game I ever called here with the scoring of the game

296
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,000
for both clubs signing in their proper positions.

297
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,000
You'd do that for me?

298
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,000
I'd be happy to do it, huh?

299
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,000
You're making money hand over fist with these firsts.

300
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,000
The foul, I ought to play one and one, but it's all right, old buddy.

301
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,000
No, of all the cost, too.

302
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
I don't want you to do that.

303
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Take your mark up.

304
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,000
It's hard to get.

305
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,000
He's looking for a no-hitter every game, Bob.

306
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,000
He better not get one here.

307
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,000
I won't speak to either of you guys.

308
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000
He threw up a no-hitter in this game.

309
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:03,000
I want to walk out of here saying I never saw a no-hitter in this ballpark.

310
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,000
You joining me, Ned Arthur?

311
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:10,000
We don't want Lady Forbes to give up a no-hitter here, do we?

312
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,000
Two balls and a strike.

313
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Not this far, not after 61 years.

314
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,000
No way.

315
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Two on pitch.

316
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,000
And a swing and it's two and two.

317
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,000
We've already lost our chance to get one.

318
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Now the first hit we get and we can breathe easy.

319
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Come on, Al.

320
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,000
Get it over with.

321
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Two balls, two strikes, two out, the pitch.

322
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Turn it over outside, three and two.

323
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Remember I asked Ang Bowler one day what Pappas do.

324
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,000
He's a fastball slider, gets it up the tower to park.

325
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,000
He'd like to even get a slider up, but he's still closer.

326
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Three balls, two strikes.

327
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Milk Pappa's working out all over the pitch.

328
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
And there she goes.

329
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,000
My giant kiss of goodbye.

330
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:29,000
Cheers and applause.

331
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Good in the second race in the middle, tomorrow night.

332
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Want me to come over?

333
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,000
I haven't missed so far today.

334
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,000
I've been pretty fortunate.

335
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,000
A slider up.

336
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Here's William Starrge at 2.45.

337
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Five balls, he's left field.

338
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,000
Billy Williams back will have a play.

339
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,000
And that will be Tara the Side.

340
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,000
There will never be a no-hitter at Forbes Field.

341
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,000
One run on one hit, a homer by Oliver.

342
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,000
And the one, we're tied up one-one.

343
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Did you ever have a girl show up in a wig and not recognize her?

344
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Well, here's the story somewhat like that.

345
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Some people have received new credit cards and failed to recognize them.

346
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,000
And of course this is understandable.

347
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,000
The big name on the card, and incidentally it's a handsome card,

348
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,000
but the big name is ARCO, A-R-C-O.

349
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:27,000
They didn't realize that this new ARCO card was a replacement for their old Atlantic credit card.

350
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,000
After Richfield and Atlantic merged to become the Atlantic Richfield Company,

351
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:38,000
it made sense to have one national credit card good at thousands of service stations from coast to coast.

352
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Makes it easy for everyone, including the people at Hertz, Ramada and Treadway Inns,

353
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Hyatt House Hotels, Hyatt Lodges, Travelodge Motels, Friendship Inns,

354
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Evans Walker Inns, Incorporated, and Superior Motels.

355
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,000
They all honor this new card.

356
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,000
Now they have only one name to remember, and so do you.

357
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:04,000
ARCO, it stands for all the good products and services you get at your Atlantic station.

358
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:24,000
All right, here we go now into the second inning tied up 1-1, Johnny Callison.

359
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Standing in, Johnny had a 0-3 day in the front game.

360
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,000
He's batting a 2-47.

361
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000
He's homered 34 runs batted in.

362
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:38,000
He's going to miss by one.

363
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:45,000
Those of you who might have missed it earlier, Roberto Clemente who has just made a magnificent gesture.

364
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:50,000
The autographed baseballs for Art McKenna and Gene and Nellie and me,

365
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,000
and I'm quite sure for several other members around here,

366
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:59,000
they sent them up to him with personally autographed baseballs with a message for each one of us

367
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:04,000
what either one of us or any one of us particularly meant to him.

368
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,000
The G1 thing, and of course, and he's only known to you a little bit,

369
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Nellie, a long time to me for some things that I've been involved with him,

370
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:18,000
and it's just a treasure thing, a real treasure, and that's just the word for it, treasure.

371
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Callison, a fellow, what a thoughtful individual.

372
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000
They take one, Arriba, Arriba Clemente.

373
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,000
And there, just walk in with a youngster.

374
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:34,000
I would sort of suspect somehow or other Roberto will play in the last game at Forbes Field.

375
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Would you, Nellie?

376
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000
I imagine he's going to make some sort of an appearance.

377
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,000
If it's, if we're out in front, you can bet he's going to be defensively in the outfield.

378
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,000
If we're behind, he's going to be doing some pinching.

379
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,000
I hope it's the first rather than the latter.

380
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,000
You've got to think positively, my boy.

381
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Positively.

382
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,000
One ball, two strikes to John Callison.

383
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Sails it all the way to the backstop, two and two.

384
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Well, in the first game we had a problem with regard to the, the greasy kidstop,

385
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:15,000
and Al Barty went out and ran his hands through the air in the cap of one Regan.

386
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:21,000
That was a strikeout by Callison.

387
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,000
First strikeout for Nelson.

388
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:31,000
And so we're moving along here right now and the batter's going to be Cleo James batting 198.

389
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,000
That's two hits.

390
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:37,000
He was the fellow, really it was six foot three and Cleo James two in the first game.

391
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,000
He scored a run and drove in the run.

392
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
So that he's responsible for two tallies.

393
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,000
Billy Hans lost a tough ball game.

394
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:51,000
But the Bucks won a big one when they held them off in the night.

395
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Cleo right in batter.

396
00:29:53,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Punched the ball, dropped it right foul, strike one.

397
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Got a sign out there.

398
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Somebody's not going to give it up.

399
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:13,000
I bet she's hanging down, looks like she's saying, does Forbes feel forever?

400
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Well, I'll tell you, it's been great for 61 years, but it's not going to be forever.

401
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Nothing ever is.

402
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Progress will prevail.

403
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000
But this will be a beautiful scene that we'll remember forever.

404
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:31,000
One and one and the fans that have been here will, while you'll enjoy, come into Cleo Breever Stadium and believe me you will.

405
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,000
It's an awe inspiring sight.

406
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Here's the one-one.

407
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Foul ball right down the left side.

408
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,000
One and two.

409
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:51,000
It's never been a ball park.

410
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Never been a ball park.

411
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:01,000
But the background of the Cleo that we have here.

412
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,000
The fans are upset.

413
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,000
The backs slipped out and one of the fans got it with Cleo.

414
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Let me ask you folks something.

415
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
This could be his game back.

416
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
This could be the one that he had the two hits with.

417
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000
I'm going to give him another bat.

418
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Leo DeRozsa's sending it down to him.

419
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
That's all he wanted was his own back back.

420
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Leo DeRozsa sends it back down.

421
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,000
See?

422
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:38,000
You'll find it now.

423
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:45,000
I'll tell you one of the tragic things would be if somebody were somehow or other able to take Billy Mazarovsky's game back.

424
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,000
The one he's kept with him for years.

425
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,000
They don't make them like that anymore.

426
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,000
Don't even.

427
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,000
Send him down and they'll escort him out there.

428
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:01,000
Here's a two-two pitch just underneath three and two.

429
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,000
I'll say that would be a great souvenir.

430
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,000
But let me tell you what it does.

431
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,000
It belongs to the nation.

432
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,000
When Mazarovsky's finished with it, it'll go to Cooperstown.

433
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,000
And that's where it belongs.

434
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Where they can all see it.

435
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Filed it right out of play.

436
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,000
And I'm quite confident that Bill will send that glove to Cooperstown.

437
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,000
It belongs up there.

438
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:24,000
It looks like a glove used in 1909.

439
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:34,000
I've never seen a smaller glove in my life on a Major League ball player.

440
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Three balls, two strikes, one out.

441
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000
We're in the second inning tied up 1-1.

442
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Pirates won the first game three to two.

443
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:50,000
On deck is J.C. Martin, Jimmy Nelson working three-two pitch to Cleo James.

444
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
Foul ball to the right side out of play.

445
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Cleo's choking up just a little bit on his path.

446
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,000
He's not trying for Pumpsville.

447
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:06,000
They're just trying to make contact.

448
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Man, you don't think we're going to be in the middle of a hornets mess when we come flying around into New York next Monday, tomorrow night.

449
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Three-two pitch, a fly ball toward left coming up for it.

450
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,000
Will Stoddell has it.

451
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:30,000
I can't wait for Jane Jarvis and that magnificent Oregon music at Shea Stadium and 55,000 people going wild.

452
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:39,000
And that will be about how many will be there when we play the match tomorrow night and Tuesday night and then again on Wednesday afternoon.

453
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,000
But what if everything goes the way it's going right now?

454
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:49,000
That will be for the lead in the Eastern Division. Cardinals beat the Phillies 5-4.

455
00:33:49,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Pitch to J.C. Martin batting at 149.

456
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,000
One ball and a strike.

457
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Sawed him off inside 2-0.

458
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:15,000
Ladies and gentlemen, Montreal has beaten the Mets.

459
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,000
That's two out of three for them over the Mets.

460
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,000
They win it, 3-6-0, 2-12-1.

461
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:26,000
Morton beats the Dekes, 27,000 at Clark-Curie.

462
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
There's a high fly to left field.

463
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:34,000
Cardinals got it and folks think we're on fire.

464
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:44,000
We're playing three down and we go to the bottom of the second one and a lot.

465
00:34:44,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Here's Bobby Robertson, didn't play in the first game at 296.

466
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:24,000
The Mets 35 runs better than that.

467
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:39,000
The Pirates now right in behind the New York Mets.

468
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:47,000
The interesting thing to hear is the total amount of attendance here today is sent up by John Fitzpatrick, our traveling secretary.

469
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:52,000
We know that it's a sellout and an ineffective standing room only.

470
00:35:52,000 --> 00:36:03,000
And such being the case, that standing room only, it's hard to tell how many people are actually here.

471
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,000
There really is no aisle way in the upper deck or lower deck.

472
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:11,000
They're just packed in there, pitches low for the ball, 1-0.

473
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:16,000
And then in behind the lower deck, just packed in there.

474
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:24,000
To witness the final two games at Wolfsfield, in which the Pirates won the first game, not a pitch.

475
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Now swinging by Robertson on the count of one and one.

476
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:43,000
They're very deep in the outfield and a little bit around to the left.

477
00:36:43,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Pappas working the 1-1 pitch. Strikes the cue, slotted to the outside corner.

478
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,000
One ball and two strikes.

479
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:10,000
Milk Pappas to the right hander, kicks the livers. He's blowing away out of the dirt for the ball, 2-2.

480
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Jack Bland visiting, watching the ball game, and of course very much up to his ears.

481
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:22,000
And the Arnold Palmer festivities for July 21 at the Hilton Hotel, which will benefit Daddy's scholarship.

482
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,000
And the score of the poor ball at Lowell.

483
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Robertson hits a howling fight at Wolfsfield, and Billy Williams, man, comes jogging up 1-1.

484
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:40,000
The Arnold Palmer get-together is open to the public on the 21st of July,

485
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,000
and all the net proceeds will be going toward the benefit of Daddy's scholarship,

486
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:50,000
sponsored by the AMM and the Western Pennsylvania Golf Association.

487
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:56,000
If you'd like to come on at the dinner dance and see all the greats of golf and honor Honey Palmer,

488
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:00,000
you can get your tickets to Jim Potts and the Western Pennsylvania Golf Association.

489
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:05,000
Alley swings are misses, batting at 2-4-0 for Homer, the 13 runs batted in.

490
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Chino in the first game, 0-0 for 3.

491
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,000
No balls in the strike, Pappas over the line up in the face.

492
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:19,000
There's a fly ball felt and routed deep into right center, Chins, sunglasses down,

493
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,000
quarters against the sun, 2-0.

494
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,000
And the batter now will be Jerry May.

495
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:29,000
Jerry walked in the first game with a base of rodent, and thus drove in what proved to be the winning run.

496
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:34,000
And so he was received sudden for a game-winning hit, in a way.

497
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:45,000
After all, he had a game-winning hit before or two, and bases on balls where the sack floated as an RBI.

498
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:49,000
Jerry at 2-0-7.

499
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,000
Biter on the corner for a strike.

500
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:56,000
Minnesota beats the White Sox 9-1.

501
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,000
A lot of double-headers today.

502
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:04,000
No balls, one strike.

503
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,000
Now the 0-1-1.

504
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Fly ball out into right center, Callison going over, drifting now, turning to his right and under for the out.

505
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:25,000
Three up and three down, and at the end of two innings of play, the Pirates and the Cubs are tied at 1-1-1.

506
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:32,000
When Atlantic Richfield Company discovered oil on the north slope of Alaska, the place we call the Arco Circle,

507
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:37,000
it took 100,000 tons of supplies and equipment to get started.

508
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:48,000
It took 100,000 tons of pipe, cement, drill, gravel, pot, glove, pipe, heater, tractor, ladder, radio, and orange juice.

509
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:54,000
It took planes that carry 48,000 pounds and cost $4,000 a trip.

510
00:39:54,000 --> 00:40:01,000
It took 160 flights to set up one camp and five flights a day to keep it going.

511
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,000
It took a specialist instructor's airstrip, Blue Storm.

512
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,000
It took the biggest civilian airlift in history.

513
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:14,000
At Atlantic Richfield, we went all the way to Alaska so we can provide your local Atlantic dealer

514
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:18,000
with the finest Arco petroleum products for your car.

515
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:33,000
The Pirates won the first game of the doubleheaders, 3-2, to extend their winning streak to six straights.

516
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,000
At the same time, and at the Cubs, our ninth consecutive loss.

517
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Now at the end of two complete innings of the second game of the doubleheaders, the game is all tied at 1.

518
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,000
As we go to the top of the third, Milpapas will lead it off.

519
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,000
The first pitch from Nelson is outside for a ball.

520
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,000
What a nutting.

521
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,000
Nobody on and nobody out.

522
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,000
Young right-hander delivers.

523
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,000
Papas swings, broken back blooper.

524
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,000
On the edge of the outfield grass, the shortstop makes the catch.

525
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Looking right into the brilliant sunshine, Galley slips those glasses from under the visor down very quickly

526
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,000
and caught the ball.

527
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Out of the inning here is Don Kessinger.

528
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Kessinger led off the ball game with a base hit in the left field.

529
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,000
He has scored the Chicago run.

530
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,000
Kessinger in the first game went nothing for four.

531
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,000
He has two hits now and nine trips to the plate in the series.

532
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:34,000
He leads the Chicago Cubs in three base hits with seven.

533
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Kessinger the batter.

534
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,000
Third baseman, Hebner, will play him up on the grass.

535
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Right side of the infield, playing about straight away.

536
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:46,000
The outfield, however, playing for him to hit the ball late and in the left.

537
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,000
Bomb ball is fouled over here to our left.

538
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,000
One strike to Kessinger.

539
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Galley coaching at third base and Amal Patano at first.

540
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,000
Bucks are set up defensively.

541
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Scarborough on left, DeLuin center, and Oliver in right.

542
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,000
Forty thousand nine hundred and eighteen.

543
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Tenants here on a drive into light.

544
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,000
Scoop by the scoop.

545
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Al Oliver on a fine play.

546
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:22,000
He came charging in to catch that thinking smash off the bat of Kessinger.

547
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:28,000
He scooped it right up into that big, snapper's bit of his for the second out of the inning.

548
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:32,000
Two up and two down, and the batter now is Paul Popovich.

549
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:39,000
The biggest crowd since 1956, looking on this afternoon.

550
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,000
Second baseman, Paul Popovich.

551
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,000
The batter now is Paul Popovich.

552
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,000
Fitches a dry call.

553
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:53,000
Here's the fellow who turned it all around for the Bucks last Monday night.

554
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Bomb ball is blowed to the left-hander batter.

555
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Ball one and strike one.

556
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,000
Two out, nobody on, and the top of the third.

557
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:08,000
Hubs to the out hits, the Bucks three to one, but the game is tied at one.

558
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,000
And here's the one-one pitch.

559
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,000
Aye, bomb ball.

560
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,000
Beauty that time over the outside part of the plate.

561
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:21,000
One ball and two strikes.

562
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,000
Outfield straight away for Popovich, who did not play in the first game.

563
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Backed away from a breaking ball in close.

564
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Ball two, strike two, two out, and nobody on.

565
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:37,000
Popovich batting at 263.

566
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:41,000
Singled into right center field his first time up against Nelson.

567
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:45,000
The 2-2 pitch backs him out of the batter's box in a hurry.

568
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,000
Three and two.

569
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:52,000
Nelson had a little zip to that pass law of his on that delivery.

570
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,000
Nice meeting of the season between the two teams.

571
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:02,000
The sky's at four.

572
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,000
Nelson reads the signs.

573
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,000
The 3-2 pitch, low into the dirt.

574
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,000
Popovich crosses the bat away and hits short first.

575
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:15,000
That's the first walk given up by Nelson in this ball game.

576
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,000
Two out, Annie Oakley to Popovich.

577
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:21,000
Here's Billy Williams.

578
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:26,000
Williams singing in the center field in the first inning to drive in the Chicago Run,

579
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:36,000
playing in his 1,052nd consecutive game.

580
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,000
Nelson will work with the runner at first.

581
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,000
Robertson will hold the inside corner against him.

582
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,000
The pitch to Williams is outside for a ball.

583
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:55,000
What a nothing.

584
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Runner leads it first.

585
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,000
Nelson looks over the shoulder, draws the arms in.

586
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:00,000
Here's the pitch.

587
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,000
Oh, it's one on and hit into right.

588
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:07,000
It's in the field to play as Oliver in the brilliant sun sun.

589
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,000
All to the end to retire the sun.

590
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:16,000
In the third, no runs, no hits, no errors, one walk, one man left on.

591
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:20,000
We go to the home half of the third at Forbes Field in the second game of the doubleheader,

592
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,000
and our game is tied at one.

593
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:27,000
What would you think of a restaurant that guaranteed good service or your money back?

594
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,000
You'd be ahead of the game either way, right?

595
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:35,000
Well, that's pretty much what happens with Atlantic's Red Ball service.

596
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,000
If your Red Ball service dealer doesn't clean your windshield

597
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,000
or offer to check your oil, weather permitting,

598
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,000
he will refund the price of your gasoline.

599
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:49,000
Red Ball service is your Atlantic dealer's way of assuring you of good service

600
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,000
so that if you are on a trip,

601
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:55,000
you know you are going to get the same good service you get in your neighborhood.

602
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:59,000
So you get the same service from a dealer who doesn't know you

603
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,000
as you do from the guy who's known you for years.

604
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Now, the details may vary slightly from state to state,

605
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,000
but the quality of Red Ball service never varies.

606
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:13,000
If it does, you get your gasoline for free.

607
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:19,000
Atlantic Red Ball service, you're ahead of the game whether you get it or not.

608
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:36,000
The crowd now hearing the announcement from the D.A. announcer, Roger Kinnon,

609
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:40,000
that the crowd at 40,918 is the fourth largest regular season crowd

610
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:45,000
in the World Series as the fifth largest in the history of warm field.

611
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,000
Here's Mazurowski. He played before them all.

612
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:53,000
Bic is cut out of the mid-course right and it's nothing in one.

613
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:59,000
One before the first game, Maz is one out of six on the series.

614
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:03,000
Pappas blows in close for a ball, one and one.

615
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:08,000
Sano at third, Kepinger the shortstop, Popovich at second with Hickman at first.

616
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,000
Williams, James, and Callison around the infield.

617
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:17,000
Martin gives the sign and Milpapas gets ready to go to work, one-one to the batter.

618
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:21,000
That's a breaking ball outside, two balls and a strike.

619
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:28,000
Frank Osiak coaching at third, Don Leppert at first.

620
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:34,000
And he's raised that bat back and forth a couple of times, now holds it steady as Pappas works two-one.

621
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:40,000
Ball is tap foul, two and two for Mazurowski.

622
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:46,000
Nelson in the on-deck circle will be up next and then Mattie Allou in the hole.

623
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:50,000
Cubs score to McCaw for the first, three consecutive hits,

624
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:55,000
and Oliver tied it up with one swing of a bat in the home half of the first

625
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:59,000
for his sixth home run of the season and his 32nd run battered in.

626
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,000
Low for the ball.

627
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:06,000
Swing runs out on Mazurowski, three and two.

628
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:15,000
The crowd had a lot to cheer about in the first game and they're ready to let it all out here in this encounter.

629
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:21,000
Here's the three-two pitch, swing and a foul that will come back on his three.

630
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,000
Still three and two in the batter.

631
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:30,000
Ball involved and strike for the second game and the final game in the history of Forbes Field, Margo.

632
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:38,000
Behind the plate, Payer at first, Dello at second, Malik at third.

633
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:46,000
Bill Pappas leans to the waist, picks up the sign, kicks and throws and Maz breaks out.

634
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,000
One for the breaking ball that time, didn't get it.

635
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,000
That's the first strikeout for Pappas.

636
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:58,000
One out in the home half of the third and the batter is the pitcher, Jim Nelson.

637
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:03,000
Nelson, two for six of the plate, batting 333.

638
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:07,000
As the pitcher, he has won two and lost none.

639
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,000
Fast ball pops in for a strike and it's nothing in one.

640
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,000
Nelson chokes up a bit on the handle of the bat.

641
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,000
Outfield looking at him for the first time.

642
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:19,000
They're playing shallow toward right.

643
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,000
Fast ball.

644
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,000
Get a great cut of that one.

645
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:30,000
No ball, two strikes.

646
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:36,000
Steps out for a moment and then digs back in.

647
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,000
Pappas works, oh, two to the batter.

648
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,000
Ball is hit, plate to the right side and foul.

649
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,000
Rolls just beyond the first base dugout.

650
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:52,000
Connie Perez has just hit his 27th home run of the season for Cincinnati and the ninth inning, nobody on.

651
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:57,000
3-2, Cincinnati.

652
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:03,000
The game is being played in Houston.

653
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,000
The strike, two pitch.

654
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:11,000
A ball outside, he's done with a curve ball that time down around the knees.

655
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:20,000
It's just missed, one ball, two strikes.

656
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:26,000
Rhythmic applause beginning to generate now through the stadium as Nelson swings and misses.

657
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:35,000
We start on strike as we pause for station identification along the Pittsburgh Pirate Radio Network.

658
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:51,000
That is Jack Wheeler from midnight to 6 a.m. on HAA Pittsburgh.

659
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:56,000
Two out, nobody on.

660
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,000
He pops it up into short center.

661
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:06,000
The short pass going out, center fielder coming on and the center fielder comes on to make the catch to retire the side.

662
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:11,000
In the third, three up, three down, no runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left on.

663
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:16,000
At the end of three innings of play in the second game of the doubleheaders, Chicago won, Pittsburgh won.

664
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:23,000
Hey there, you've came for a quiz? Well, then listen carefully because the question won't be repeated.

665
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:29,000
What does ARCO stand for? Now that's spelled A-R-C-O.

666
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,000
Here are a few hints. And hit number one would be this.

667
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:36,000
Many of you recently received a credit card with the name ARCO on top.

668
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,000
It replaced your Atlantic card.

669
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:46,000
Number two, the ARCO card is honored by Hertz, Ramada, and Treadway Inn, Hyatt House Hotels, Hyatt Lodges,

670
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:52,000
Tava Lodge Motels, Friendship Inn, Emmons Walker Inn, and Superior Motel.

671
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,000
Well, the time's up.

672
00:51:54,000 --> 00:52:00,000
Anyone who figured out that ARCO stands for the petroleum products of the Atlantic Richfield Company gets an A.

673
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:05,000
You see, when the Atlantic Richfield Company was formed, it made sense to have one national credit card

674
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,000
good at thousands of service stations coast to coast.

675
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,000
The name selected for the card was ARCO.

676
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,000
And if you'd like to carry on applications, they're waiting for you at all Atlantic stations.

677
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:18,000
If there are no more questions, then class is dismissed.

678
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:34,000
The first three innings were brought to you by Atlantic Richfield Company and your local Atlantic dealers.

679
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:38,000
These next three innings are brought to you by Iron City Beer.

680
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,000
Have an Iron City right now.

681
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:44,000
The batter is Hickman here on the top of the fourth inning.

682
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,000
Pitch is a strike, Saul.

683
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,000
That was a fastball, Neha.

684
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,000
Outfield is shaded toward left and left center.

685
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:58,000
The gap is in right center field and down the right field line.

686
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:17,000
Fling and a foul back.

687
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,000
Nelson picks up the sign from catcher Jerry May.

688
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,000
The pitch to Hickman.

689
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:29,000
It's outside off the corner.

690
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:39,000
The count on Hickman, ball two and strike two.

691
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,000
Nelson very deliberate.

692
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:42,000
Deliberate.

693
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:46,000
The ball is thrown on, broken back five ball into right, fell out center field.

694
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:56,000
And Alou has to angle away, turn his left shoulder into the bright sun and then sort of kept it going away.

695
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:57,000
One out.

696
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,000
The batter will be Ryan Sano.

697
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,000
Sano popped to the shortstop in the first inning.

698
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,000
He has nothing but one against Nelson.

699
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:15,000
He has one hit and eight trips to the plate in this series after being shut out in three drives in the first game.

700
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,000
Fling and a miss.

701
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:18,000
Nelson gave him a fastball.

702
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,000
Nothing in one.

703
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,000
California has edge cancer city two to one.

704
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:28,000
Murphy the winner, Rooker the loser.

705
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,000
The pitch to Sano.

706
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:31,000
Fastball is low.

707
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,000
Ball one and strike one.

708
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:40,000
Light breeze now blowing the American flag out toward right center.

709
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:47,000
Coming across the scoreboard and now toward the seats, all the folks scammed in the double deck right field area.

710
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:50,000
Swing and a foul out of the screen.

711
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:55,000
One ball and two strikes.

712
00:54:55,000 --> 00:55:00,000
Home plate umpire looking over that baseball and he'll throw it out of the game.

713
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:06,000
A new one has gone to the mound.

714
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:13,000
Up to 21 and 16 at home, 14-17 on the road for a 35-33 record.

715
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,000
Foul ball followed away to the right side.

716
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:23,000
Ball is into the third deck and will give that fan an error because it dropped all the way down below.

717
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:32,000
Still one and two on the batter.

718
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:37,000
Sano digging in and waiting.

719
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,000
Delfin kicks and throws.

720
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:40,000
Curve is low.

721
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,000
Two and two.

722
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:53,000
One out, nobody on as the Cubs bat into fourth inning and the game is tied at one.

723
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,000
The two-two pitch.

724
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,000
Curve way outside.

725
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,000
May have a flight out in a hurry that time.

726
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,000
Nobody on so there's no damage done.

727
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:08,000
Full count of three and two.

728
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:14,000
With two out in the third inning, Nelson walked his first and only batter thus far in the ball game.

729
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,000
He gave a walk to Popovich on a three-two pitch.

730
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:25,000
Now for the second time he has gone three-two on a Chicago batter.

731
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:30,000
Delivers, the ball is hung on, hits towards right. Going back is Oliver.

732
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,000
Still back-tapping, he's there.

733
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:40,000
He made a plenty-time test right in front of his body about fell high after he got to the warning track.

734
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,000
Two ups and two downs.

735
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,000
The batter will be Johnny Callison.

736
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:48,000
Oliver gives him the press and he's starting to like playing the outfield.

737
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:49,000
He's a great player.

738
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,000
That was just kind of rookie.

739
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:58,000
He doesn't have that feeling because he seemed to be a little more freer when he was playing out in left field too.

740
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:02,000
Callison struck out in the second inning.

741
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:07,000
Nelson has been one strike out and it was against this left-handed batter.

742
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,000
He's outside a little high and off the corner for a ball.

743
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,000
What a nothing.

744
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:20,000
Montreal defeated New York three-two, St. Louis down Philadelphia five-to-four.

745
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:21,000
The pitch.

746
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,000
Wing of the mayor.

747
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:26,000
That's a fastball right up around his shoulders that time.

748
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,000
He didn't get it.

749
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:34,000
Bucks won the first game three-to-two.

750
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:39,000
Picked up a full game now that New York has lost.

751
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,000
Wing of the mayor.

752
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:47,000
One ball and two strikes to the batter.

753
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,000
Callison would shut out in three tries in the first game.

754
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:58,000
He's now 1-4-8 against pirate pitching in this series, which started yesterday afternoon with a pirate victory.

755
00:57:58,000 --> 00:57:59,000
This is low.

756
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:07,000
Ball doing strike two on Callison.

757
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:14,000
Bucks have won six in a row, four in the Cardinals, and yesterday in the first game this afternoon from Chicago.

758
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:21,000
Fastball is way over the batter's head, and he has gone to three-and-two now to Callison.

759
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,000
On a three-two pitch to Sennel.

760
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:28,000
Sennel hit a fly ball caught by Oliver and Wright.

761
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,000
Now the three-two pitch to Callison.

762
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,000
He takes ball four in close.

763
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:40,000
Second walk issued in the ball game by Nelson, and it brings up Cleo J.

764
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:52,000
Two for three in the front game. Fly to the left fielder. It's his first time around against Nelson.

765
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:57,000
Boston defeated New York 5-3 in the American League.

766
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:05,000
Minnesota 9, Chicago 1, California 2, Kansas City 1, as we mentioned.

767
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:10,000
And he will be working with the runner at first.

768
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:16,000
Callison takes a short lead. Robertson holding the inside corner against him.

769
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,000
Set by Jimmy.

770
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:19,000
And the pitch.

771
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:24,000
Low for a ball. What a nothing.

772
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:31,000
Gargoyne straightaway left field. Allou has moved way over to his right or toward left center field.

773
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:37,000
There's a tremendous gap over second base in the straightaway center and in the right center field.

774
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:40,000
Oliver all alone out there and Wright.

775
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:43,000
It's a set by Nelson to pitch.

776
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:47,000
Breaking ball off the corner.

777
00:59:47,000 --> 01:00:02,000
Ball two with no strike.

778
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:05,000
Nelson looks over the left fielder as the runner takes a short lead.

779
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:12,000
He stays the ball, whiff, foul through the third base coaching box off the railing and in the fair territory.

780
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:19,000
Time will be held up while Starjo gets the ball. He flicks it into the Chicago bullpen down the left field line.

781
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:28,000
Two balls and a strike to Clio James.

782
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:35,000
Big series beginning tomorrow night in New York between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Mets.

783
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,000
Monday night, Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon.

784
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:42,000
St. Louis the runner is back.

785
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:47,000
Thursday will be an open day and the next weekend in Chicago and on to Philadelphia.

786
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:51,000
Poking out before the all-star break in St. Louis.

787
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,000
Pitch is hit.

788
01:00:54,000 --> 01:01:01,000
Right after batter he ducked underneath and turned his head and hit him on his batting helmet and he is all right.

789
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:05,000
He'll go to first.

790
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:08,000
He doesn't seem to get away from that delivery at all.

791
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:12,000
So now we have Johnny Callison in scoring position at second.

792
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:15,000
Clio James in on the batting helmet.

793
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:18,000
The runner at first. Two men on, two out.

794
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:27,000
May has called time and he has gone to the mound to talk to Nelson.

795
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:34,000
Outfield will play straight away for J.C. Martin making his first appearance in the series.

796
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:38,000
Looking at 1.49, one home run, four runs batted in.

797
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:47,000
Hyatt has been catching of the series yesterday afternoon in the first game of the doubleheader today.

798
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:51,000
Orlando Pena walking around in the pirate bullpen.

799
01:01:51,000 --> 01:02:01,000
Ricketts the catcher also loosening up and believe Joe Gibbon will go to work.

800
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:05,000
Here he is, Joe Gibbon loosening up for Pittsburgh.

801
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:08,000
Pitch from Nelson is outside for a ball.

802
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:09,000
What a nothing.

803
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:15,000
Fans are getting a bit anxious now and time has been called as the pitching coach, Don Osborne,

804
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:22,000
will go to the mound to talk to the young right-hander.

805
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:28,000
Now it's the first time that he has been in a situation like that since he has been called up from Columbus.

806
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:33,000
He hasn't been able to throw strikes and that was the thing that has really pleased Danny Murtaugh.

807
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:38,000
And of course Osborne too, but the ability to stay out in front of the hitters and struggling with control.

808
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,000
You're going to run into those kind of games.

809
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,000
You don't pitch shutouts every time.

810
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,000
He's going to find that out himself.

811
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:49,000
Right now it's a one-one ball game with the Cubs batting in the top of the fourth.

812
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:55,000
The first two men were retired, Hickman and Sandlin, and Awoshek Callison and James was hit by a pitch.

813
01:02:55,000 --> 01:03:00,000
Runners lead it first and second time about to be resumed.

814
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,000
J.C. Martin waiting on a one-hole pitch.

815
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:04,000
Here it comes.

816
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,000
It's low into the dirt.

817
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:12,000
Two balls, no strikes.

818
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:17,000
In the first game, Moose started, then Jussie, and then Walker.

819
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:22,000
Now Joe Gibbon began to loosen up.

820
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:25,000
A big step by Nelson and a pitch.

821
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:29,000
Fast ball is high and outside.

822
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,000
Three balls, no strikes.

823
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:35,000
Another wide one would load him up and then bring up the pitcher, Milt Packard.

824
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:47,000
Down through the years, as I remember Milt from Baltimore, the American League, he has an excellent hitting pitcher.

825
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:52,000
He's been around in the Major League Baseball for some 14 seasons now.

826
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:58,000
There's a strike called and it's three and one.

827
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,000
He was involved in a trade between Baltimore and Cincinnati.

828
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:08,000
He was going to Cincinnati and Frank Robinson going from the Reds to the Baltimore Orioles.

829
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,000
Runners lead it first and second.

830
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:14,000
The pitch, swinging around ball foul.

831
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:18,000
Something we'll have to give now, a runner at first, a runner at second.

832
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:21,000
There are two outs and ball free.

833
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:29,000
Strike two count to the left hand of hitting J.C. Martin.

834
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:35,000
Time held up momentarily as that ball came off the wall, rolled out into the playing area, retrieved by Luke Walker.

835
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:41,000
So Nelson goes to the back part of the mound, goes to the rousin sack, squeezes it a couple of times.

836
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:44,000
Now steps back atop the pitching rubber.

837
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:47,000
Runners lead it first and second.

838
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:50,000
J.C. Martin waiting on a ball free.

839
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:51,000
Strike two pitch.

840
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:52,000
To look to second.

841
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:53,000
Here's the pitch.

842
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:54,000
The runner's go.

843
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:56,000
He almost threw it away.

844
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:59,000
That ball was high and away.

845
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,000
Jerry May was lucky to even get it.

846
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,000
The bases are loaded.

847
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:23,000
Callison at third, Cleo James at second, J.C. Martin on a 3-2 pitch is at first and the batter is Milt Pappas.

848
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:26,000
Pappas just acquired from Atlanta steps in.

849
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:27,000
The game is tied at one.

850
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:30,000
Runners lead it first, second and third.

851
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:34,000
Nelson has the windup restored and he will use the windup.

852
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:40,000
Coming down the line, a good distance is Callison.

853
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:44,000
Swing and a miss.

854
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:52,000
Callison, veteran performer, figuring that maybe by darting toward the plate and putting on the brakes and heading back toward third,

855
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:55,000
he could force Nelson into committing a bop.

856
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,000
This fellow has a lot of foils.

857
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:01,000
Now he steps off the pitching rubber and looks over there and Callison goes back.

858
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:05,000
You probably get the message that this kid has a lot of know-how.

859
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:06,000
A fly ball in the center.

860
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,000
Should end the inning without any trouble.

861
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:09,000
Allou is coming in.

862
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:10,000
He's got it.

863
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:13,000
And it retires the side.

864
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:17,000
Nelson gets out of a tough spot in the fourth inning.

865
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,000
No runs, no hits, no errors.

866
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:23,000
And Freeman left on the bases.

867
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:27,000
And we go to the last half of the fourth inning, the game is tied at one.

868
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:31,000
I'd like a few words with you Bucs fans about the fine art of beer drinking.

869
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,000
Not just any beer drinking.

870
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:36,000
I'm talking about good beer drinking.

871
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,000
That's Iron City beer drinking.

872
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:42,000
You know, some people insist that all beers taste the same.

873
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,000
If you're Iron City beer drinkers, then I know it's different.

874
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:47,000
Because that Iron City taste is different.

875
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:51,000
You can tell by looking at Iron City's rich amber color.

876
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:53,000
Iron City delivers your kind of taste.

877
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:56,000
Bold and refreshing, cold and alive.

878
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,000
Just ask any Iron City drinker.

879
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:01,000
He'll tell you that Iron City's taste stays alive.

880
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Glass after glass, bottle after bottle, can after can.

881
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:10,000
That's why Iron City is the number one beer in Pittsburgh.

882
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:13,000
Outselling all other beers combined.

883
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:18,000
So the next time your thirst comes up, wet it down with Iron City.

884
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:22,000
Once you get there, you'll never want to leave.

885
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:39,000
In the last of the fourth inning, Hemner, Oliver, and Starjo will be the first three men to go against Mill Pappas.

886
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:42,000
You haven't heard, you've just eye-on a cross.

887
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:47,000
The Pirates won the first game, 3-2.

888
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:50,000
And tied in this game at one.

889
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:56,000
Here is Hemner, and the folks that like to get something started now, that would make applause.

890
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,000
40,000 plus.

891
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:01,000
There's the foul, back to the stream.

892
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,000
One strike on Hemner.

893
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:06,000
Hemner fly to the center fielder in the first inning.

894
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:09,000
He had one for three in the first game.

895
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:13,000
And three out of eight now against Cubs pitching in the series.

896
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:16,000
For the year, Richie is hitting at 3-0-9.

897
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:19,000
He leads the game in doubles with 16.

898
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,000
The strike one-fifth.

899
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:25,000
Herb bends in a little close to the left-hander batter.

900
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:27,000
Ball one and strike one.

901
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,000
Cincinnati has defeated Houston 3-2.

902
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:34,000
The difference in the ball game for Rez is 27 to home run of the season.

903
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,000
He leads the major leagues in home run.

904
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:40,000
Dangup is popped into the air down the third base line.

905
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,000
Coming down the line is Sano, and he makes the catch.

906
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:45,000
One out.

907
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:48,000
It will bring up Oliver.

908
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:54,000
Oliver ties the game in the home half of the first inning with his sixth home run of the season.

909
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:59,000
And his 30 seconds runs out of hand.

910
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:03,000
Oliver now with two hits and eight trips to the plate in the series.

911
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:09,000
Left-hander batter batting 2-40, 2-50 for the year, 2-5-0.

912
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:19,000
Ooh, he is able to get away from the pitch that backed him off the plate after stepping up to the delivery in a hurry.

913
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:25,000
He moved into the pitch and was real lucky to get out of there.

914
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:36,000
He's still out of the batter's box, leaning on the bat and tapping off the skin part of the mound, walking to the grass, roughing up the baseball.

915
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:41,000
Out the other round towards right and right center.

916
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:45,000
The pitch to Oliver, swing and a foul off to the left.

917
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:49,000
Foul was in on his hands that time.

918
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:55,000
I don't imagine, Billy, that he'll see anything outside from Pappas for the rest of the afternoon.

919
01:09:55,000 --> 01:10:00,000
I don't know. He's been pitch-tight before, and a lot of guys try to brush him off the plate.

920
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:05,000
He doesn't back up on anybody. He's very aggressive, isn't he?

921
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:11,000
Pappas works, and it's outside for a ball, 2-1.

922
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:14,000
If it had hurt, it may have been a retaliation shot.

923
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:19,000
Cleo James got hit. Most things have been known to happen in baseball games before.

924
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:25,000
Yes, the pitch, swing and a foul over near the left and out of play.

925
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:44,000
Ball two, strike two to the batter, Al Oliver, one hour nobody on in the last half of the fourth inning.

926
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:47,000
Oliver waiting on a 2-2 pitch.

927
01:10:47,000 --> 01:11:11,000
Pappas blinds and delivers, swing and a foul back to the screen. It's still 2-2 on the batter.

928
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:17,000
Pappas picks up the side, the right hander delivers, swing and a foul tipped.

929
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:22,000
It was down around the knee, sinking away at that time, and Oliver was able to get just a piece of it.

930
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,000
Still, ball two and strike two.

931
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:30,000
Willie Starjo in the on-deck circle to the right will be up next.

932
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:34,000
And in a final, Cleveland over Detroit, 8-2.

933
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:40,000
McDowell won his eleventh ball game against four defeats and these from Pittsburgh.

934
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:43,000
A kill for the loser, 4-5.

935
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:48,000
Ball is full foul into the feet, just at the top of the first base dugout.

936
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:52,000
Still 2-2 on the batter.

937
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:59,000
40,918 looking on this afternoon.

938
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:09,000
Fourth-largest foul during a regular season, fifth-largest if you count the World Series.

939
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:13,000
Pappas strikes 2-2 to the batter, pops it up into left.

940
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:16,000
Coming hard is Williams, Sano, and Kessinger going out.

941
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:20,000
Kessinger, the shortstop, cuts across and makes the catch.

942
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:23,000
2-2 down in the last half of the fourth inning of the batter.

943
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:26,000
Now is Willie Starjo.

944
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,000
St. Will is way overdue.

945
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:31,000
He leads the team in all runs with 14.

946
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:34,000
He has 37 runs added in.

947
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:38,000
He's right to the left field area in the first inning.

948
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:46,000
He's looking for his first hit in this period.

949
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:56,000
Strikes to the big wheel, nothing in one.

950
01:12:56,000 --> 01:13:01,000
Outfield around toward right and very deep, the pitch.

951
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:08,000
He's headed to the outside corner, didn't get it. Ball one and strike one.

952
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:13,000
In winning six in a row, the Bucks are four over 500 now.

953
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,000
They've won 39 and lost 35.

954
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:19,000
They've won more games in the Eastern Division than any other team.

955
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:22,000
The 1-1 pitch, wing in the middle.

956
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:24,000
Outside about a letter high.

957
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:34,000
One ball, two strikes to Starjo.

958
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:35,000
Willie digs back in.

959
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:39,000
Pappas reads the sign, kicks and throws one-two to the batter.

960
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:43,000
Let up and he strikes him out on a called strike.

961
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:45,000
Third strikeout for Pappas.

962
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,000
Team's tough on him completely that time in the inning.

963
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:51,000
Three up, three down, no runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left on.

964
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:57,000
Through four innings of the second game of the doubleheader, Chicago won, Pittsburgh won.

965
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:01,000
You know, I heard of an interesting thing that happened in a tavern the other night.

966
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:07,000
An Iron City drinker said he could taste the difference between Iron City beer and any other brand.

967
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:10,000
Well, his friend said that it just couldn't be done.

968
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:14,000
So they covered his eyes and he put three glasses on the table.

969
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:19,000
Then they poured a little trick on him and filled all three glasses with Iron City beer.

970
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:22,000
And you know what? They didn't pull the wool over his taste.

971
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:25,000
He said all three were Iron City.

972
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:27,000
Really knew his iron, huh?

973
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:29,000
But most Iron City drinkers do.

974
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:33,000
They can recognize that bold, cold taste anywhere, anytime.

975
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:37,000
Because Iron City drinkers expect a lot of taste from a beer.

976
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:42,000
And Iron City delivers it, glass after glass after glass.

977
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:46,000
Iron City delivers a taste a guy can really sink his first into.

978
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:49,000
Find out what good beer taste is all about.

979
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,000
Taste Iron City.

980
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:58,000
Hey, once you get there, you'll never want to leave.

981
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:02,000
Second game of the doubleheader, the final game at Forbes Field, 61-year history.

982
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:08,000
In the 5-20-and-a-punch game of the doubleheader, 3-2, we tied 1-1 into the top of the third.

983
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:12,000
In the leadoff batter, Don Kessinger will step in for the third time in this game.

984
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:16,000
He single and scored a very low run to the Cubs in the first inning

985
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:19,000
and was robbed of a possible base hit in the third inning

986
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:25,000
on a good grab by Al Oliver, shoestring catch in the third.

987
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:29,000
Kessinger has made himself into a very fine Major League ballplayer.

988
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:32,000
Always had the good defensive tools, but went to switch hitting

989
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:35,000
and has become very effective from the left side.

990
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:40,000
Proved it with a looping single in the center field, and he is 2 for 3.

991
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:51,000
That's the first hit that Jim Nelson has given up since the first inning.

992
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:55,000
Paul Popovich from neighboring West Virginia steps in.

993
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:57,000
He's single in the first inning.

994
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:02,000
He was out on the tail end of a disputed double play.

995
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:05,000
He walked back in the third.

996
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:17,000
Jimmy Sun taking in the final game at Forbes.

997
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:22,000
On ball by Nelson is down low, ball one.

998
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:26,000
Jimmy's only had one, one, two, three innings.

999
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:28,000
That was back in the second.

1000
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:33,000
Callison, Jeames, and Martin went out to strike out and two fly balls to live.

1001
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:38,000
And as Rob likes to say, he's been counter running through the range ups here.

1002
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:44,000
Throw to Furrits, Kessinger back safely.

1003
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:48,000
Bobby Moose, Dave Justy, and Luke Walker in that order,

1004
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:51,000
and Walker with a great clutch performance nailed down the first win.

1005
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:55,000
Throw to Furrits and a good play by Robertson thrown behind the runner.

1006
01:16:55,000 --> 01:17:02,000
Bobby had the backhand of the ball to prevent it from going into the box seat.

1007
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:05,000
The Cubs by nature are not a good running ball club.

1008
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:09,000
They don't have any abundance of speed.

1009
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:15,000
Ball chopped off the first base side if you want to curl foul.

1010
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:20,000
Now Kessinger's second will come back to first.

1011
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:25,000
Giants a couple of years ago, the kind of ball club that's very seldom did any running,

1012
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:30,000
but they picked them up some speed with Bobby Vons in the lineup now.

1013
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:32,000
There's a little bit of a change in there.

1014
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:48,000
The Cubs so far have had only 12 still invasions. Pirates have had 28.

1015
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:51,000
All up to shallow rest, Turgell coming on quickly,

1016
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:56,000
has time to get there and he's got it for the first pitch.

1017
01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:02,000
One out. The score is tied 1-1. We're in the top of the fifth of the second game

1018
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:05,000
of a doubleheader at Forbes.

1019
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:12,000
The runner third, Kessinger, and the better, Billy Williams.

1020
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:16,000
Williams single drove in Kessinger with the first run.

1021
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:19,000
I want you to know, sir, I know how surprised you feel, Chancellor Wesley Posberg

1022
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:22,000
at the University of Pittsburgh. I said, what are you putting in here?

1023
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,000
He said, you're sitting in the middle of our law school right now,

1024
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:29,000
and you should like it.

1025
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:34,000
Rob should know all about law school.

1026
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:46,000
Billy Williams takes a pitch down low, one ball and on the scuff.

1027
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:50,000
Chancellor Wesley Posberg here to take in the final game.

1028
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:53,000
Of course, this is the property of the University of Pittsburgh,

1029
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:56,000
and this is going to be a law school, I understand.

1030
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:00,000
Starting this fall, they're going to do some construction.

1031
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:03,000
Fly ball, deep to left, going back at Sturgill, still going,

1032
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:06,000
and he's near the wall, he makes the grab, oh, he's got the ball.

1033
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:09,000
Holding his second, it catches him. He'll come to third, the long throw it is.

1034
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:12,000
Not in time, he flies ahead of the tag.

1035
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:15,000
Hebner arguing now with Barlich, and he's jaw to jaw with him.

1036
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:20,000
He said he came off the bag. Now Barlich is right on top of him.

1037
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:26,000
And Hebner is really fuming with Hal Barlich at third base.

1038
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:29,000
Sturgill had the ball in his glove, and as we mentioned before,

1039
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:32,000
this has become a very serious problem for outfielders right now,

1040
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:35,000
5'30 or close to it here.

1041
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:39,000
Alou had troubles earlier, and Sturgill at times caught the ball over his shoulder

1042
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:41,000
like a football player going for a touchdown.

1043
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:45,000
The ball bobbled out of his glove, he was about three or four feet from the wall,

1044
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:50,000
picked it up, hustled the throw to third base, and the strong throw almost got Kessinger.

1045
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:52,000
It's going to be over double.

1046
01:19:52,000 --> 01:20:01,000
Kessinger goes to third base, Williams moves on to second base.

1047
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:04,000
The batter coming out is Jimmy Hickman.

1048
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:11,000
He's 0 for 2, but they're going to be gently walking him to take their shot with Roddy Sato.

1049
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:19,000
Sturgill had room, had the ball in his glove, but dropped it.

1050
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:24,000
The walk will be the fourth of the ballgames given up by Jimmy Nelson.

1051
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:37,000
This is the first intentional walk.

1052
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:39,000
And that will do it.

1053
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:41,000
It's a ball four.

1054
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:44,000
So they're loaded up, Hickman at first base, W. Williams at second,

1055
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:48,000
and Don Kessinger has moved it through.

1056
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:52,000
Ron Sato, who is 0 for 2 in this ballgame,

1057
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:57,000
flied to right field his last time up.

1058
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:04,000
Well, the Pits came back with some football last year to finish respectable under Carl DePasca.

1059
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:06,000
They're looking for good things in 70.

1060
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:12,000
They're here and we're hoping this is the start of something big for the Bucks right now.

1061
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:17,000
So let's watch this afternoon in Montreal 3-2.

1062
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:22,000
Here's a pitch to Sato off the frisk, fouled back out of play.

1063
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:26,000
Only one out, the Pirates are hoping for the strikeout here by Nelson,

1064
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:31,000
or possibly the ground ball double play.

1065
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:37,000
They're a whole lot of speed, Hickman at first base through Sato at the plate.

1066
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:43,000
But there's an awful lot of power at the plate, and Sato has only hit seven this year.

1067
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,000
Palm ball just in time.

1068
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,000
One ball, one strike.

1069
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:50,000
Rick Reikert has hit his ninth in the 12th with one on.

1070
01:21:50,000 --> 01:22:00,000
Washington wins that ballgame in 12 innings, 4-3.

1071
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:05,000
Thinking positive for 6-4-3.

1072
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:08,000
Here's one-one. Changeup is just a little bit hot.

1073
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:12,000
Roy Sato just checked you off that bit.

1074
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:21,000
Almost into the letter. Two balls and a strike.

1075
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:24,000
A lot of people you haven't seen in a while, dropping ball to see this game.

1076
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:29,000
Chuck Boyle, former Canada, with KDKA, and now with NBC.

1077
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:32,000
Dropping ball is short, Alley on two hops, and Asuraki to go to first.

1078
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:35,000
It is in time for two.

1079
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:40,000
Nelson flickers out of it.

1080
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:42,000
A six to four to three double play.

1081
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:54,000
Look at the crowd.

1082
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:57,000
Fifth inning for Chicago, no runs, two hits.

1083
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:59,000
There is a stand up there.

1084
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:03,000
We go to the bottom of the fifth, it's still tied one-one.

1085
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:07,000
You know, one of the sweetest sounds a batter can hear is that sort of whack,

1086
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:11,000
that big crack of that ball in the back, right on the back part.

1087
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:15,000
When he hears that, he knows he's got a shot at sending it out of there all the way.

1088
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:19,000
Now, there's a sound that's music to a bird drinker's ears, too.

1089
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:22,000
The sound of an Iron City snap-top can.

1090
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:25,000
When you hear that pop, you know what's coming.

1091
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:27,000
Iron City's great beer taste.

1092
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:32,000
Each snap-top can packs 12 big ounces of bold, cold Iron City beer.

1093
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:37,000
Every sip of every can is alive with a taste you can really sink your thirst into.

1094
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:40,000
And those Iron City six-packs are pure convenience.

1095
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:44,000
They're quick to chill, easy to carry, mighty easy to store.

1096
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:48,000
So the next time your thirst comes up, crack open a cold can of Iron

1097
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:53,000
and try the taste that's made Iron City, Pittsburgh's number one beer.

1098
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:59,000
Iron City, hey, once you get there, you'll never want to leave.

1099
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:05,000
Forty thousand, nine hundred and eighteen, buzzing here at Forbes Field.

1100
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:08,000
The final game at Lady Forbes.

1101
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,000
We'll close it out today.

1102
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:13,000
And, boy, they sure enjoy a whale of a ball game in a second game,

1103
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:15,000
much like they did in the front.

1104
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:18,000
Pirates won the front game three to two.

1105
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,000
Six in a row, we won.

1106
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:29,000
The question leaves it off, curve ball by Pappas is outside, ball one.

1107
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:35,000
Fans try to get something started with some rhythmic applause.

1108
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:38,000
I don't think that a rooting cow doesn't help a ball club.

1109
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:41,000
One-oh-fix, lined in the hole, running it upfield.

1110
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:43,000
Big hit for Robertson.

1111
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:45,000
That's only the second hit off Mel Pappas.

1112
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:48,000
The other one left the ball park, as Bob described,

1113
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:53,000
a long run by Al Oliver with two down on the first.

1114
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:56,000
Pappas has been tough.

1115
01:24:56,000 --> 01:25:00,000
Mixing the pitches effectively, slider, fastball,

1116
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:04,000
and a pitch we haven't seen as usual a lot.

1117
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:11,000
A change up to half a screwball type of thing.

1118
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:15,000
Gene Alley, who can do a lot of things with the bat.

1119
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:16,000
He's funning this time.

1120
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:18,000
He's going to hit the first base out.

1121
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:22,000
It's going to Turrell Fowl, picked up by Jimmy Hickman.

1122
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,000
You know, Alley was funning.

1123
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:29,000
He's had a look, however, at third base coach Frank Oceac.

1124
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:35,000
Bob Robertson, surprisingly, for his size, 200 pounds, just a little bit over,

1125
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:39,000
can pick him up and put him down pretty good.

1126
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:42,000
And Alley's ability to punch the ball to right field is something

1127
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:47,000
that I might be thinking about.

1128
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:50,000
Cubs are fighting that way in the outfield.

1129
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:53,000
Cleo James about 10 feet to right center.

1130
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:56,000
He's going to pitch his foul-tip, held by the catcher,

1131
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,000
throw to second, not in time.

1132
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:04,000
He's sealed it.

1133
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:06,000
The hit and run was on.

1134
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:10,000
Robertson beats the throw to second by J.C. Martin.

1135
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:16,000
It was a foul-tip, held by Martin, but he didn't get Robertson at second.

1136
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:18,000
Bobby, I'll surprise you.

1137
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:26,000
You'll recall, in a recent home stand, he went from first to third on a wild pitch.

1138
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:30,000
Now the go-ahead runner, second base, nobody out,

1139
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:33,000
bottom half of the fifth tie ball game 1-1.

1140
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:35,000
Alley now will try to get him to third.

1141
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:42,000
He's going to pitch a foul-tip, not held by Martin.

1142
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:46,000
Now the counter holds it, nothing in two.

1143
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:51,000
Bobby Ross will be in New York tomorrow, State Stadium.

1144
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:58,000
Gene was checking the water loss percentages, and that's now the loss at 5-35.

1145
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:00,000
We're going to win their second ball game.

1146
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:04,000
We'll be at 5-3-3.

1147
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:05,000
Here's the pitch.

1148
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:11,000
Off the fifth, hopped up on the first base side, giving chase to Hickman in foul territory,

1149
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:12,000
and he's got it.

1150
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:14,000
So Robertson forced a hole at second base.

1151
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:29,000
His alley hops out to the first base for Jim Hickman.

1152
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:35,000
Let's pause for station identification on the pilot baseball network.

1153
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:49,000
Covering all bases, a topic on the perspective, some of these 5-8 PM on KKT.

1154
01:27:49,000 --> 01:28:00,000
Jerry May the batter takes the pitch by Pappas down low, ball one.

1155
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:06,000
Jerry May walks in the front ball game in the eighth inning with the bases loaded off Phil Regan,

1156
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:09,000
produced the winning run in that one, 3-2.

1157
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:16,000
Cups on this wide, he doesn't get it, even to count it, one ball and one strike.

1158
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:21,000
I tell you, Pappas has had excellent control in this one game.

1159
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:34,000
Has not walked anybody, and for the most part, has been out in front of everybody.

1160
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:38,000
Checked Robertson at second to fastball, put foul off the first base side.

1161
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:39,000
Hickman might have a play.

1162
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:52,000
Now he can't get to it, about five rows back and about three.

1163
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:56,000
People out early trying to get into fourth field this morning.

1164
01:28:56,000 --> 01:29:00,000
Boy, that was a welcome sign.

1165
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:03,000
They're going to be late trying to get out, too.

1166
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:05,000
Take two, who gives?

1167
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:09,000
No place to go until seven o'clock tomorrow morning, I guess.

1168
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:15,000
That's the most time you ring in at the old time clock.

1169
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:18,000
Remember, I used to do that with Beth Linton and Steele,

1170
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:23,000
carry that lunch fail in the offseason.

1171
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,000
Seventy-five cents an hour, what do you say?

1172
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:31,000
Third ball, Jeff Smith is outside, count evens, two balls, two strikes.

1173
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:33,000
What are you, a riveter?

1174
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:36,000
Just a good old common ordinary lever.

1175
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:38,000
I used to shovel very well.

1176
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:39,000
I've been there, buddy.

1177
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:41,000
Every time you go by the lock in Rochester, remember,

1178
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:45,000
I lived under that like a sand dog all one summer with a jackhammer.

1179
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:50,000
Trying to burrow out of there and get up alive.

1180
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:52,000
Two-two pitch, checked off by Gary.

1181
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:56,000
Now he goes around, says the first base on fire, foul-of-fire.

1182
01:29:56,000 --> 01:30:00,000
Tried to save the swing, couldn't do it.

1183
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:04,000
Today is the second victim, number four, and Bobby Robertson,

1184
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:08,000
who opened with a single, got the second on a steal, is still there.

1185
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:10,000
Pappas trying to pitch out of it.

1186
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:12,000
They will intentionally walk.

1187
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:17,000
Bill and Ezra, I'd like you to go to Jimmy Nelson.

1188
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:21,000
This is the first walk issued by Pappas.

1189
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:26,000
Scores around the National League, Houston was knocked off by Cincinnati.

1190
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:30,000
Tony Perez did his 27th and the 9th, 3-2.

1191
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:34,000
Wanting pitcher there was Clay Carroll, and released was Nolan.

1192
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:36,000
Wilson lost it.

1193
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:42,000
Los Angeles leads San Diego, 2-0 after 5-1-2, Roberts against Alan Foster.

1194
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:46,000
And in a complete ballgame up at Montreal, the one you're interested in,

1195
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:50,000
the New York Mets were knocked off, 3-2.

1196
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:51,000
Sadecki lost it.

1197
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:54,000
Carl Morton picked up the win.

1198
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:58,000
Marshall homers to New York, Baker and Staub, and Staub's home run,

1199
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:04,000
and he aces one on, one at home for Montreal, and gives the Bucks a chance to

1200
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:13,000
just finish two percentage points after the rage activity from first place in the Houston Division.

1201
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:16,000
Nams is the first, Roberts in the second.

1202
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:21,000
Check swing, it's fouled off the front foot of the pitcher, Jimmy Nelson,

1203
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:23,000
and the count's nothing in one.

1204
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:27,000
Nelson had a bad hitting pitcher by any means.

1205
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:34,000
Had a pretty good debut in the Major Leagues, and hasn't had too bad a performance after that either.

1206
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:46,000
Opened up with a strikeout of maize, got McCurdy in a double play, and then got up and banged a single.

1207
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:49,000
Said he wanted to be a short stopper to catch it, but he's become a pretty good pitcher.

1208
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:53,000
Chopper hits the third base weekly, Sado holds a short outgrowth, and it is in.

1209
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:59,000
How's John Kripke, hits the drop to the wall.

1210
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:01,000
There's safe all around.

1211
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:09,000
Robertson a third, and there's a second, and Nelson, safe a third on the air on Jimmy and Hidra.

1212
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,000
Boy, that was a big break for the Bucks.

1213
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:18,000
Sado, who were right there at the knees, but Hickman lost the ball, and the Pirates have him loaded up.

1214
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:28,000
Robertson a third, Bill Andrews, second, Jimmy Nelson a first, and the pesky guy, Mattie Elu at the plate.

1215
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:32,000
He's also two on this ball game.

1216
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:35,000
And he hits him four times and drops the foul.

1217
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:37,000
Happens, and we'll wind up the pitch to Mattie.

1218
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:43,000
Full foul off the first base shot out of play, strike one.

1219
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:48,000
Really, sometimes on that infield at this time of night throws off that left side of the dime,

1220
01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:51,000
and you're throwing out of the scoreboard numbers and all those white shirts,

1221
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:55,000
and that guy's first base is looking for a ball out of a lot of white.

1222
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:58,000
It's very well happened, because the sun's starting to set down there,

1223
01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:06,000
and it's reflecting off the box seats right back of Sado and where he was coming from.

1224
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:12,000
Come on, Mattie, your one pitch inside a good save by J.C. Martin, prevented a wild pitch.

1225
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:15,000
It's like a hard splatter.

1226
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:19,000
Martin made a great play to prevent a wild pitch on that one.

1227
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:20,000
He had to go way to his right.

1228
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:23,000
I don't know how Elu kept him getting hit.

1229
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:26,000
Now the count is even to the ball on the side.

1230
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:32,000
We're tied, one-one, but a base hit could end that very quickly.

1231
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:34,000
Two down.

1232
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:36,000
We'll wind up the one-one pitch.

1233
01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:41,000
Down low, blocked by Martin, can't find it, but it stays right in front of the plate.

1234
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:47,000
Another good save by Martin.

1235
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:50,000
Two balls and a strike on Mattie Elu.

1236
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:57,000
Pirates took advantage of wildness in the front ball game to win that one as Phil Regan came on,

1237
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:08,000
dropped the base of Rodin, and then walked in the winning run with Jerry Mayer back.

1238
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:12,000
Elroy Fick, the greatest reliever in piracy in Navy Horde,

1239
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:16,000
made it to the big ball, dropped into the booth, viewing the final game.

1240
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:20,000
It's 4-2, one pitch, chopped in the hole.

1241
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:21,000
On to base hit.

1242
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:22,000
Robertson scores.

1243
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:26,000
Razorocky is coming to the point, the throw not in time.

1244
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:55,000
The ball goes to second, and the Pirates lead it 3-1.

1245
01:34:55,000 --> 01:35:02,000
Now I want to win, but I have to feel sorry for Jim Hickman out there at first base.

1246
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:06,000
That guy is going through torches right now, Nelly.

1247
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:11,000
He sure is, but I'll tell you, if there's any reason why the Cubs have been in the spot they are,

1248
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:13,000
you've got to put it right on his shoulders.

1249
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:16,000
He's carried that ball quite often, to be honest.

1250
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:22,000
Hevner, first ball hitting, fouls it off the first base, and strike one.

1251
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:26,000
He's a guy that's made himself into a very fine hitter.

1252
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:31,000
He was not known for anything but striking out a lot and hitting the ground ball double plays.

1253
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:36,000
Last year he suddenly came alive, very good money player,

1254
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:41,000
came up with a very costly 11, an opponent that's taken advantage of it,

1255
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:43,000
and a big single by Matt Ealyard.

1256
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:47,000
3-1 we lead, it's down and going at all.

1257
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:52,000
3-1 changeup, moves outside on Ricky, turned over the fastball.

1258
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:54,000
One ball and one shot.

1259
01:35:54,000 --> 01:36:03,000
It's been a very effective pitch for Kappes in this ball game.

1260
01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:07,000
Now these two halves will be one-and-tally, but it doesn't matter.

1261
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:12,000
We have five on the right, it's going to curve foul.

1262
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:16,000
Ricky hit a shot right down the right field line, curve.

1263
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:19,000
Now ten feet to the right of the foul ball.

1264
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:23,000
Larry Gura, who worked in the front ball game, a left hitter,

1265
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:39,000
is up and popping down the Chicago bullpen.

1266
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:41,000
Jim Nelson at third base.

1267
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:42,000
Matt Ealyard second.

1268
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:46,000
Matt lead away to wind up the one-two pitch, five-ball left field,

1269
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:49,000
giving James Williams, hiding the sun, and near the scoreboard,

1270
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:55,000
he's got it, and a pretty well-eared ball on the opposite field by Ricky Evans.

1271
01:36:55,000 --> 01:37:00,000
The Pirates take the lead, two runs on two hits, one error.

1272
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:05,000
We stand up there, and after five innings of play in the second and final game

1273
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:09,000
at Forbes Field, the Pirates now lead it 3-1.

1274
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:15,000
Most Pirate fans are beer fans, too, and just as they like a lot of action in the game,

1275
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:18,000
they like a lot of taste in a beer.

1276
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:23,000
That's why most Pirate fans ask for a cold iron when their thirsts come up,

1277
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:28,000
because thirst-quenching taste is what Iron City beer is all about,

1278
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:34,000
bold and cold and live every sip of the way, glass after glass, bottle after bottle.

1279
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:39,000
Iron City comes on with a taste you can really sink your thirst into,

1280
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:43,000
and that Iron City taste is fresh, because Iron City beer doesn't have to come

1281
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:48,000
a long way to get to your tavern or your distributor, and once it gets there,

1282
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:50,000
Iron City doesn't sit around.

1283
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:51,000
It sells, my friends.

1284
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:53,000
I mean, it sells.

1285
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:57,000
So every iron you drink is as fresh as can be.

1286
01:37:57,000 --> 01:38:01,000
Next time your thirst comes up, let it down with Iron City.

1287
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:05,000
Hey, once you get there, you'll never want to leave.

1288
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:12,000
Well, let's see.

1289
01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:16,000
Here in the Sixth, Chancellor Wesley Boswell just went to call Milly to say,

1290
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:18,000
I think I better stay for a while.

1291
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:20,000
I'll be a little late for dinner.

1292
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:25,000
And I said, well, I've got to be listening to the game.

1293
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:28,000
A fairly good group of cadets came out of West Point.

1294
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:34,000
Chancellor was there, a fellow named Bill Farr is a great athlete in gymnastics,

1295
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:38,000
and now our financial wizard around here, Roland Capinella,

1296
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:46,000
and there were three other fellows that were rather well-known, Blanchard, Davis, and Tucker.

1297
01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:49,000
They never knew a losing season.

1298
01:38:49,000 --> 01:39:09,000
All right, we have now Johnny Kellerson who's stuck out in the walk standing in.

1299
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:15,000
Jim Nelson leading three to one here in the top of the Sixth.

1300
01:39:15,000 --> 01:39:19,000
He's got over 40,918 and nobody leaving.

1301
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:27,000
The early part of this game, Nelson Pombal, he might as well have put it on the shelf.

1302
01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:29,000
Well, let's not throw it for strikes, just show it.

1303
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:32,000
But he was trying to throw it for strikes and it got him in trouble.

1304
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:35,000
Let's see if he can bring it back.

1305
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:38,000
He could run it through it for strike two.

1306
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:44,000
A lot of times a good pitch, which is that pitch right now, is a Pombal.

1307
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:49,000
But if it isn't coming for you, you just waste it and go to your other stuff,

1308
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:53,000
and then if it comes back, then you go to it.

1309
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:58,000
And Jerry May is the type of a catcher that will bring it back in there for him,

1310
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:07,000
if it's at all possible.

1311
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:11,000
The O2 pitch, there's the Pombal, pull down to Mazurowski.

1312
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:17,000
He'll have him on to Robertson.

1313
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:19,000
John Callison retired four to three.

1314
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:21,000
The batter now will be Cleo James.

1315
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:26,000
He'll line the left and with it five-pitch.

1316
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:32,000
Following this game, we'll have everything going for the fans here.

1317
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:36,000
And I know, of course, that nobody will get out of line

1318
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:38,000
because we're just going to have a few things given away.

1319
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:41,000
All the baseball caps have been autographed.

1320
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:47,000
They'll be awarded some 50 prizes, some of them, and bases and what have you.

1321
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:51,000
But this property here belongs to the University of Pittsburgh.

1322
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:53,000
And there's a strike.

1323
01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:58,000
And Jehovah's Witnesses will be in here for a big contrast.

1324
01:40:58,000 --> 01:41:02,000
That fine-order group will be in here, and then there'll be other things going on

1325
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:05,000
in the University of St. Louis.

1326
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:11,000
There's other plans, and ultimately, of course, this ballpark will be dismantled

1327
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:16,000
and School of Law and other schools involved in the university program

1328
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:19,000
will be in here in the next three to six years.

1329
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:22,000
No balls, two strikes here to Cleo James.

1330
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:30,000
There's a fastball outside all the way to the backstop.

1331
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:36,000
A warning down the left field line for the Cubs.

1332
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:39,000
A left-hander will pick him up in a moment right now.

1333
01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:41,000
That's what they get in and go on.

1334
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:45,000
They want to be ready to hit for Pappas.

1335
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:47,000
Good.

1336
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:52,000
Strikeout.

1337
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:53,000
That's the second now.

1338
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:54,000
Here's J.T. Martin.

1339
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:56,000
He tried to left and he drew a war.

1340
01:41:56,000 --> 01:42:01,000
The Pirates leading three to one, won the first game three to two.

1341
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:06,000
First game ever played here in this park, Chicago won it three to two in 1909,

1342
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:12,000
and Honus Wagner in that year set an all-time high for stolen bases in the World Series

1343
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:18,000
against the Detroit Tigers and Ticots.

1344
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:19,000
Foul back.

1345
01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:25,000
The Pirates played in the first World Series, but not here.

1346
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:30,000
It was against Boston in 1903 in the first World Series ever played.

1347
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:32,000
My memory is they went nine games.

1348
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:34,000
That is, it was a nine-game series.

1349
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:38,000
I don't know how long it went, but they would have gone better than that.

1350
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:40,000
Here's the 0-1 to Martin.

1351
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:45,000
Foul ball off the sinker, 0-2.

1352
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:50,000
That would have been then exposition park for the games that were played here in Pittsburgh

1353
01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:54,000
between the Boatsocks and the Pirates.

1354
01:42:54,000 --> 01:43:02,000
Then Mr. Dreyfus built this ballpark and his son-in-law, Bill Benswanger,

1355
01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:04,000
kept the rich prediction going.

1356
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:09,000
Bill wanted to be here today, but couldn't be,

1357
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:15,000
and he's one of the great pioneers in the game of baseball, Bill Benswanger.

1358
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:20,000
And he's not to be forgotten by all who were dear to baseball in this area.

1359
01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:23,000
One ball, two strikes.

1360
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:26,000
Popped him up, and Ebener is looking for it.

1361
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:29,000
Now he's bird-dogging him behind him, and he'll take it.

1362
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:32,000
Now he takes it, so he's out of the side.

1363
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:37,000
Three up and three down, and we go down to the bottom of the sixth leading three to one.

1364
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:41,000
You know, it will be pretty hard to try and predict a pennant winner this season.

1365
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:44,000
I have to admit the St. Louis Cardinals look pretty good.

1366
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:46,000
Our own Bucks look even better.

1367
01:43:46,000 --> 01:43:50,000
And, of course, there are the ever-amazing Mets.

1368
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:54,000
But I have to say this, too, when it comes to predicting a pennant winner,

1369
01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:56,000
well, that's something else.

1370
01:43:56,000 --> 01:44:01,000
But when it comes to predicting a pennant-winning beer, there isn't any contest at all.

1371
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:06,000
Everybody knows Iron City beer leads the league, been number one for a long, long time.

1372
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:10,000
And Iron City will stay on top, and there's a good reason why.

1373
01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:16,000
Iron City's taste, bold and cold, alive every sip of the way,

1374
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:19,000
glass after golden glass, inning after inning.

1375
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:23,000
Iron City comes on with a taste you can really think you're thirsting to.

1376
01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:28,000
So the next time your beer thirst comes up, whet it down with a winner.

1377
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:33,000
Try the taste of Pittsburgh's number one beer, Iron City.

1378
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:37,000
Hey, once you get there, you'll never want to lose.

1379
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:46,000
All right, ready now to move into the bottom of the sixth,

1380
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:48,180
and the first-inning for the

1381
01:44:48,180 --> 01:44:51,000
U-6 Mother, who hit his sixth mom of the year,

1382
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:55,000
tie up the game back in the first inning, will be the lead-off batter.

1383
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:59,000
Men's star, Gooden, Bobby Robertson, against Milt Pappas.

1384
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:03,000
If we can take what you're hosting with doing in the sixth inning as an indication,

1385
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:06,000
this will be the last inning for Milt.

1386
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:10,000
Ready, we're warming.

1387
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:17,000
G-U-R-A.

1388
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:21,000
Way back she goes, and off the wall.

1389
01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:26,000
Callison comes up firing, and it's a double standing up for Oliver.

1390
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:33,000
That's the fourth DDS, two of them for six baseman.

1391
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:39,000
And the batter now is going to be Willie Stuck, who's open to, by the left end,

1392
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:41,000
what's called an open end.

1393
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:45,000
Now Gooden getting up again.

1394
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:50,000
And Andy Gates is out of the picture for the second.

1395
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:56,000
Milt Pappas with one of the second in the hell out of it.

1396
01:45:56,000 --> 01:46:03,000
Stargill drops a foul down to right field, and our bullpen,

1397
01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:07,000
got it like a cubby of quail.

1398
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:11,000
You know, Bob, if this keeps up, Gooden may be on the ball game a little earlier

1399
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:14,000
than Lee would like to have him in there.

1400
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:21,000
Yeah, but he's going to try to get three out, if he can out of Pappas.

1401
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:24,000
You and I both know because he doesn't want to have to put him in

1402
01:46:24,000 --> 01:46:27,000
and swing out another hitter.

1403
01:46:27,000 --> 01:46:30,000
There's a dive hit very deep to center.

1404
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:34,000
James started in, now drifting back way out toward the monument.

1405
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:41,000
And he makes a strong throw, but Oliver is tagged and come over safely to third.

1406
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:51,000
That'll bring up Bobby Robinson, who's single,

1407
01:46:51,000 --> 01:46:55,000
who leads the Buckeyes into a rally in the fifth inning.

1408
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:59,000
Wow, but two runs that score that anywhere unearned.

1409
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:13,000
Due to an error, it's about to nonetheless accept the loss.

1410
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:18,000
Now they bring the infield up, and Bobby taking a long look at Frank Osiak.

1411
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:26,000
They've switched off Gura to a right-hander.

1412
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:31,000
Bobby Rodriguez.

1413
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:33,000
I feel around the left infield is up.

1414
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:43,000
The pitch from Pappas and there's an error, and now left field line, way out of play.

1415
01:47:43,000 --> 01:48:02,000
That's J.C. Martin, now quickly to say something to Milk.

1416
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:13,000
We don't want to make him the hard way, I'll tell you that.

1417
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:21,000
I think the back line on that's two and a half.

1418
01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:25,000
But we're going to try to make it that way for them.

1419
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:30,000
If we won six in a row, they've lost nine in a row, and that's their season nine.

1420
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:36,000
Make no mistake about it though, Chicago is anything but out of this pinning race.

1421
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:40,000
Anybody has a blocked up.

1422
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:43,000
It's going to be a bubble job right now, that's very hidden.

1423
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:47,000
It's going to bubble your blood for you.

1424
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:54,000
When we come home to three others and we meet those Cincinnati Reds, wowee.

1425
01:48:54,000 --> 01:49:02,000
Fichter-Robinson inside, I think I'd be getting my tickets for that one, 16th of July.

1426
01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:07,000
When the 100 is going to remain open, you won't be able to get your tickets to three of them,

1427
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:09,000
you'll get them at the regular outlets.

1428
01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:14,000
Remember that, ladies and gentlemen, don't write the three rivers, write the Forbes field.

1429
01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:20,000
Come to when the 100, J.C. Murphy store, downtown ticket office, ticket shop, any of those outlets.

1430
01:49:20,000 --> 01:49:24,000
One-one Fichter-Robinson ball inside.

1431
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:43,000
Come on, come on, come on.

1432
01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:46,000
Two ball, then a strike.

1433
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:48,000
And a pitch.

1434
01:49:48,000 --> 01:49:50,000
Well, his deeps were left.

1435
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:54,000
Williams coming up, the tag by Oliver, here's a strong high throw.

1436
01:49:54,000 --> 01:50:06,000
Oliver scores.

1437
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:17,000
So it's four to one.

1438
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:21,000
Dave Say, a Pennsylvania winner in state college.

1439
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:26,000
I haven't said we may never lose another game for so long, it isn't even funny,

1440
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:28,000
but he seems to think I've been saying anything.

1441
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:31,000
Said it would win this one, he wants me to just shut your mouth.

1442
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:40,000
All right, David, you button up your typewriter and we'll be even.

1443
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:43,000
Alley up here, it's all for two.

1444
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:45,000
Ball inside, one and O.

1445
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:49,000
Have you heard me say we may never lose a game for how long is it been?

1446
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:54,000
I know, I first time I heard you say it, and I think the last this year was down in Clayton.

1447
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:56,000
That's right, I did it as a gag.

1448
01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:58,000
I never heard you say it like that before.

1449
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:07,000
Ball inside, two and O.

1450
01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:11,000
Well, I know Dave, he's a good writer, but he's right.

1451
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:16,000
We're not counting any chickens, we haven't been, it's lots of ways to go,

1452
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:19,000
but it's just great to be in the thick of things.

1453
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:21,000
Two O pitch now, Alley.

1454
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:27,000
High ball three, three and O.

1455
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:32,000
This game here is not over.

1456
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:36,000
But we know one thing, it's the last game that will be played here,

1457
01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:39,000
and I can say we may never lose another game in this park,

1458
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:46,000
and we're right, three and O.

1459
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:49,000
I can't believe I can say that.

1460
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:52,000
Three balls and a strike.

1461
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:54,000
I feel it out of the right on Gene Alley.

1462
01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:56,000
Happers into the wind at the three-one pitch,

1463
01:51:56,000 --> 01:52:07,000
hunched it foul back up on the net.

1464
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:10,000
Oliver opened up with a double off the right field wall,

1465
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:19,000
schedule fly deep to center, and Oliver came over after the catch.

1466
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:24,000
And then Robertson scored him over a rope to deep left.

1467
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:26,000
Three-two pitch.

1468
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:30,000
High ball to right field, Jason Callison back, looking up in that murderous sun.

1469
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:32,000
Nice catch by John.

1470
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:35,000
Right on the wall on the warning truck out there.

1471
01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:38,000
A run on one hit, no errors, and nobody left.

1472
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:41,000
At the end of sixth, the parks lead at four to one.

1473
01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:45,000
We want to mention something here that shows how Iron City will go to any lengths

1474
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:49,000
to make you feel at home, all the way to Florida, in fact.

1475
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:55,000
Iron City beer has joined the Thunberg crowd on United Airlines' nonstop flights to Miami.

1476
01:52:55,000 --> 01:53:00,000
When you're flying to and from Miami, ask your stewardess for a nice cold glass

1477
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:04,000
of Pittsburgh's number one beer, Iron City.

1478
01:53:04,000 --> 01:53:08,000
It makes those friendly skies even friendlier.

1479
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:12,000
Iron City beer, the beer drinker's beer.

1480
01:53:12,000 --> 01:53:35,000
Middle three innings are sent your way by Iron City beer.

1481
01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:54,000
The nation's number one halftime is on the world's number one station,

1482
01:53:54,000 --> 01:54:07,000
the Pittsburgh Lums.

1483
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:12,000
Glenn Beckard will bat for Pappas here, as the top of the seventh inning is about to get underway

1484
01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:17,000
at Forbes Field before 40,918.

1485
01:54:17,000 --> 01:54:22,000
In the first game of the doubleheader, Pittsburgh 3 in Chicago 2,

1486
01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:25,000
as the Pirates extended their winning streak to six straights,

1487
01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:28,000
and the Cubs losing streak to nine in a row.

1488
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:33,000
And now through six innings to play, the Bucs have four runs and four hits,

1489
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:36,000
and the Cubs one run and five hits.

1490
01:54:36,000 --> 01:54:40,000
Beckard, the right-handed batter, setting out the second game of the doubleheader,

1491
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:42,000
takes the first pitch low for a ball.

1492
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:43,000
What a nutting.

1493
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:47,000
Beckard batting at 268.

1494
01:54:47,000 --> 01:54:52,000
He has a couple of home runs, 18 runs battered in.

1495
01:54:52,000 --> 01:54:56,000
Curve across, ball one and strike one.

1496
01:54:56,000 --> 01:55:01,000
Larry Gura, who saw action in the first game of this doubleheader,

1497
01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:04,000
continues to keep warming the bullpen down the line.

1498
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:07,000
That is a palm ball that fooled Beckard.

1499
01:55:07,000 --> 01:55:10,000
Oh, he stepped to the front part of the box that time,

1500
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:13,000
and it was leaning and then tried to hold up, then leaned again,

1501
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:15,000
and about that time it was a little too late.

1502
01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:18,000
Beautiful pitch. Here's a one-two delivery.

1503
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:20,000
Fastball to the outside.

1504
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:22,000
It's all the way back to the screen.

1505
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:25,000
Two and two on Glenn Beckard.

1506
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:31,000
John Kessinger in the on-deck circle to the left, and then Paul Popovich.

1507
01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:34,000
Buck outfield playing straight away.

1508
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:36,000
Stargeo, Alou, and Oliver.

1509
01:55:36,000 --> 01:55:40,000
Around the infield, Ebner, Alley, Maseroski, and Robertson.

1510
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:43,000
May catching and Nelson on the mound.

1511
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:48,000
He has won two and lost none since coming up from Columbus.

1512
01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:50,000
Curve is bowled back onto the screen.

1513
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:57,000
It gets over the screen, so the folks down below have a lot of fun fighting for that souvenir.

1514
01:55:57,000 --> 01:56:04,000
And remember, there will be a lot of souvenirs to be given away at the conclusion of this game.

1515
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:06,000
Here's the two-two pitch.

1516
01:56:06,000 --> 01:56:13,000
It is lined to the shortstop, one out.

1517
01:56:13,000 --> 01:56:19,000
We go to the top of the cup batting order, and the left-hander hitting John Kessinger.

1518
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:24,000
Singleton scored in the first inning, Clyde to right in the third, and Singleton in the fifth inning.

1519
01:56:24,000 --> 01:56:32,000
In addition to this being the final game, this would be a wonderful 36th wedding anniversary for Jane and Tom Johnson.

1520
01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:38,000
So congratulations to them, one of our proud owners, and such an investment of the baseball club,

1521
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:45,000
and it would be a great going away, not going away, going away from Forbes Field, but an anniversary present for Jane and Tom.

1522
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:52,000
And many happy years to come, too, to the Johnson family, as the pitch is outside for a ball, one or nothing.

1523
01:56:52,000 --> 01:56:55,000
Kessinger, two out of three in this ball game.

1524
01:56:55,000 --> 01:56:58,000
He was shut out in the first game, nothing before.

1525
01:56:58,000 --> 01:57:04,000
So he is 3-4-11 in the series.

1526
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:25,000
Swing and a foul is hit.

1527
01:57:25,000 --> 01:57:33,000
Here's the pitch, a little high for a ball.

1528
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:40,000
Kessinger the batter, a front-fist underway in Chicago, the second team of the doubleheaders.

1529
01:57:40,000 --> 01:57:42,000
Wow, I'll tell you about it in a moment.

1530
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:46,000
There's a side call, two and two on the batter.

1531
01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:48,000
Minnesota got four on the top of the first.

1532
01:57:48,000 --> 01:57:54,000
Chicago came back with six on the last of the first.

1533
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:58,000
Four to one in favor of Pittsburgh here.

1534
01:57:58,000 --> 01:58:00,000
Oh, he's hit down the left of the line.

1535
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:02,000
Coming hard to star Joe.

1536
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:03,000
He can't get it.

1537
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:09,000
Into the bullpen just out of his reach, still two and two on the batter.

1538
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:17,000
Joe Given, who was boosting up a couple of innings back in this ball game, is again ready should they need him.

1539
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:22,000
And Bruce Delcan, the right-hander, is now throwing also.

1540
01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:31,000
Larry Gura, a left-hander in the bullpen, will the Chicago Cubs.

1541
01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:38,000
He's been joined by Rodriguez.

1542
01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:41,000
Here's the 2-2 delivery.

1543
01:58:41,000 --> 01:58:53,000
Swing and a foul back. It's still two and two on the batter.

1544
01:58:53,000 --> 01:58:55,000
One out and nobody on.

1545
01:58:55,000 --> 01:59:00,000
Boy, the folks are having a great time here this afternoon.

1546
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:02,000
Nelson works 2-2 to the batter.

1547
01:59:02,000 --> 01:59:03,000
Ground ball to the right side.

1548
01:59:03,000 --> 01:59:07,000
Mazurocki to his left side comes up and it throws on the first at times.

1549
01:59:07,000 --> 01:59:11,000
Kessinger is an ECL.

1550
01:59:11,000 --> 01:59:18,000
Two up and two down in the top of the seventh inning and the batter will be the second baseman, Paul Popovich.

1551
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:24,000
San Francisco and Atlanta are tied at four through nine innings of play.

1552
01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:32,000
The game is being played at candlestick.

1553
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:39,000
Popovich, singled in the right center field in the first inning, walked on a 3-2 pitch in the third and then slide to the left.

1554
01:59:39,000 --> 01:59:44,000
So he's 1-2 against Nelson, the pitch.

1555
01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:52,000
Outside, just off the corner for a ball. It's one and nothing.

1556
01:59:52,000 --> 01:59:56,000
Just after six here in Pittsburgh.

1557
01:59:56,000 --> 02:00:02,000
Swing and a high pop-up. May coming down the line. So is Hebner in foul territory.

1558
02:00:02,000 --> 02:00:11,000
Richie stays with him, looking into that brilliant sunshine as he made a one-and-stab of the ball to retire to the side.

1559
02:00:11,000 --> 02:00:15,000
Nothing across in the Chicago half of the seventh inning.

1560
02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:19,000
The Bucks coming in to bat in the pitch half of inning number seven.

1561
02:00:19,000 --> 02:00:25,000
The last time they'll do this tradition in this part, leading four to one.

1562
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:30,000
Start of listening in black and white. See what a difference a coat of Pittsburgh paint can make.

1563
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:32,000
What's going on?

1564
02:00:32,000 --> 02:00:36,000
That spring willow green going on. That microphone, avocado.

1565
02:00:36,000 --> 02:00:39,000
Shouldn't you be painting on color television?

1566
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:44,000
No, no. People at home keep horsing with the knobs until they've turned apricot into banana.

1567
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:47,000
So you're asking them to imagine your color?

1568
02:00:47,000 --> 02:00:52,000
Until they can get into the Pittsburgh dealer and see for themselves, yes. Kill the rainbow.

1569
02:00:52,000 --> 02:00:56,000
Rainbow on radio.

1570
02:00:56,000 --> 02:01:09,000
Was that a colorful rainbow?

1571
02:01:09,000 --> 02:01:13,000
Fantastic. Where can I see Pittsburgh paint in person?

1572
02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:17,000
That man holding his hand over his ear will tell you.

1573
02:01:17,000 --> 02:01:22,000
In Edna, your Pittsburgh paint stealer is Winchell Hardware, 346 Butler Street.

1574
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:34,000
And in East Liberty, there's a Pittsburgh paint center located at 1351 Washington Boulevard.

1575
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:43,000
Forty thousand nine hundred and eighteen looking on as the Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates do battle

1576
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:52,000
and a doubleheader at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh. The Cubs won the first game three to two over the Cubs.

1577
02:01:52,000 --> 02:01:57,000
And we lead in this game four to one. And Nellie, we've got a new left-hander.

1578
02:01:57,000 --> 02:02:21,000
And May will lead it off in the home half of the Saladini.

1579
02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:27,000
The Cubs are beginning to settle back into their seats now. Left-hander ready to go to work.

1580
02:02:27,000 --> 02:02:32,000
Curve ball picked up the outside corner. Started it way out wide that time.

1581
02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:36,000
Broke it in on the corner at it is. Nothing in one to Jerry May.

1582
02:02:36,000 --> 02:02:43,000
May has fly to the right the other and struck out in two trips against Pappas in this ballgame.

1583
02:02:43,000 --> 02:02:47,000
Milled work the first six innings.

1584
02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:53,000
There's a curve, a car. No balls to strike.

1585
02:02:53,000 --> 02:02:58,000
Continuing to have action in the bullpen for Chicago.

1586
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:03,000
Jim Colburn now throwing.

1587
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:10,000
Ball got away from the bullpen catcher and the home plate umpire spotted it and called time.

1588
02:03:10,000 --> 02:03:15,000
In the outfield for the Cubs in the second game, we're looking at William James and Calliphan

1589
02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:19,000
with Sanno Kessinger-Papovich and Nickman on the inter-defense.

1590
02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:23,000
Pitch in close to May. One ball and two strikes.

1591
02:03:23,000 --> 02:03:26,000
Hyatt caught the game yesterday in the first game of the doubleheader.

1592
02:03:26,000 --> 02:03:34,000
J.C. Martin working behind the plate this afternoon.

1593
02:03:34,000 --> 02:03:43,000
Here's the one-two pitch. In close for a ball and it's two and two now.

1594
02:03:43,000 --> 02:03:47,000
Now Zorowski in the on-deck circle to the right.

1595
02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:57,000
Two up next and the third man up in the inning will be the pitcher, Jim Nelson.

1596
02:03:57,000 --> 02:04:00,000
May waiting on the ball to strike to delivery.

1597
02:04:00,000 --> 02:04:03,000
Here comes, he takes low for a ball.

1598
02:04:03,000 --> 02:04:14,000
He's getting ahead of the right-hander better. No balls, two strikes. The string has run out.

1599
02:04:14,000 --> 02:04:20,000
Home plate umpire Vargo looking over the left shoulder.

1600
02:04:20,000 --> 02:04:25,000
May waiting on a three-two delivery. With a flick of the glove, Jury is shaken off the side.

1601
02:04:25,000 --> 02:04:29,000
Now he comes back and strikes him out.

1602
02:04:29,000 --> 02:04:37,000
That's Jury that time on a breaking pitch. Second time May has gone down via the strikeout route in this ball game.

1603
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:43,000
First strikeout for Larry Gura and it brings up Mazurowski.

1604
02:04:43,000 --> 02:04:48,000
New York Yankees have knocked off Bonce at eight to two. Bonce is the winner.

1605
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:53,000
Bonce is the loser.

1606
02:04:53,000 --> 02:05:05,000
May struck out and drawn an intentional walk. This is a strike call and it's nothing in one.

1607
02:05:05,000 --> 02:05:07,000
The pitch.

1608
02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:10,000
Ground ball, down the line. It's a fair ball.

1609
02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:13,000
Heading toward the bullpen. Mazur's going to drive for two.

1610
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:21,000
He cuts the inside corner of the bag and he'll go into second standing up with a double.

1611
02:05:21,000 --> 02:05:25,000
Maz has doubled down the line.

1612
02:05:25,000 --> 02:05:31,000
Runner in score position, one out and it brings up the pitchers in delta.

1613
02:05:31,000 --> 02:05:38,000
It's a ground ball between third base and the third baseman's saddle.

1614
02:05:38,000 --> 02:05:42,000
That is the third extra base hit of the ball game.

1615
02:05:42,000 --> 02:05:45,000
Oliver had the other two, a home run and a double.

1616
02:05:45,000 --> 02:05:50,000
And now Maz has doubled off the left-hander, Jura.

1617
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:55,000
Hits are even at five for each club with the Bucs lead in the payoff department,

1618
02:05:55,000 --> 02:06:04,000
four to one after winning the first game, three to two.

1619
02:06:04,000 --> 02:06:07,000
And remember after this ball game,

1620
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:11,000
the other club will go on the road and tangle with the New York Smith,

1621
02:06:11,000 --> 02:06:18,000
beginning a three-game series tomorrow night at Shea Stadium in New York.

1622
02:06:18,000 --> 02:06:22,000
In the second, the pitch, curve low into the dirt.

1623
02:06:22,000 --> 02:06:28,000
Ball one, no strikes.

1624
02:06:28,000 --> 02:06:30,000
Aubrey continues to throw in the bullpen.

1625
02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:37,000
The bullpen catcher is wearing a mask.

1626
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:40,000
No activity in the pirate bullpen.

1627
02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:43,000
Jim Nelson waiting on a ball one, no strike pitch.

1628
02:06:43,000 --> 02:06:45,000
The hook to second, here it comes.

1629
02:06:45,000 --> 02:06:51,000
The ball outside, two and two.

1630
02:06:51,000 --> 02:06:53,000
Frank Osiyak looking in to Nelson,

1631
02:06:53,000 --> 02:07:00,000
and Nelson steps out of the batter's box for a moment to be sure that he has the time correct.

1632
02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:03,000
Checked again, now steps in.

1633
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:06,000
John Leppard coaching it first.

1634
02:07:06,000 --> 02:07:12,000
Shables are beginning to lengthen here at the stadium, reaching the home plate area now.

1635
02:07:12,000 --> 02:07:18,000
The last ball is over from the left-hander, two balls and a strike.

1636
02:07:18,000 --> 02:07:23,000
Bucks scored a run in the first, two in the fifth, and one in the sixth.

1637
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:30,000
For four, the Chicago Cubs scored a run on three consecutive hits to get the ball game underway.

1638
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:37,000
And then Nelson and the Pirates have been in command.

1639
02:07:37,000 --> 02:07:49,000
A two-one pitch, swing and a foul. The ball will get back into the seats over here to the right.

1640
02:07:49,000 --> 02:07:53,000
San Francisco winning their ball game on a home run by Gallagher,

1641
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:56,000
in second of the year in the 10th inning with one man on.

1642
02:07:56,000 --> 02:08:05,000
Jim Mudcat ran, that's right, so he's not too with San Francisco.

1643
02:08:05,000 --> 02:08:10,000
San Francisco wins six-four.

1644
02:08:10,000 --> 02:08:13,000
There's a ground ball to the right side. It will get the runner on to third.

1645
02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:18,000
Becker backs up, gets on the short hop and throws on to first.

1646
02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:28,000
And Maserowski goes to third, play going four-three.

1647
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:33,000
Here is Allou in a final base camp on Matteo Allou,

1648
02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:43,000
who is a face-off loaded, singled in the right field in the fifth inning to drive in a couple of runs.

1649
02:08:43,000 --> 02:08:48,000
Since then, the Bucks have added another run.

1650
02:08:48,000 --> 02:08:56,000
Allou with one-four-three in the ball game, now three out of 11 in the series.

1651
02:08:56,000 --> 02:09:02,000
He has 88 hits, he leads the Bucks in that department, and now has 27 runs batted in.

1652
02:09:02,000 --> 02:09:04,000
He's quite a bit on the handle to bat.

1653
02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:08,000
Oh, there's a ball behind him now.

1654
02:09:08,000 --> 02:09:14,000
That ball slipped from the left-hander's giraffe, and it went behind Matty,

1655
02:09:14,000 --> 02:09:20,000
and a catcher, Martin, had it move quickly to the right to get to that ball.

1656
02:09:20,000 --> 02:09:24,000
Ball one, no strike.

1657
02:09:24,000 --> 02:09:27,000
The left-hander is fixed.

1658
02:09:27,000 --> 02:09:33,000
Oh, into the dirt. Allou was ready to offer it, and I don't know whether he went around or not.

1659
02:09:33,000 --> 02:09:34,000
He did.

1660
02:09:34,000 --> 02:09:37,000
Oh, tipped the ball. He got down on it.

1661
02:09:37,000 --> 02:09:41,000
Just like getting it off a golf tee that time, then tried to check up on it.

1662
02:09:41,000 --> 02:09:44,000
Loop just sling back.

1663
02:09:44,000 --> 02:09:50,000
Tipped the ball. It drew it one-and-one on Allou.

1664
02:09:50,000 --> 02:09:52,000
Outfield toward left and not very deep.

1665
02:09:52,000 --> 02:09:54,000
The one-one pitch.

1666
02:09:54,000 --> 02:09:57,000
He's going to drag it. It's a fine squeeze of home.

1667
02:09:57,000 --> 02:10:00,000
Oh, is in time.

1668
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:04,000
That's what the pitch dropped him out.

1669
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:08,000
And a throw to first, Nip-to-Loo, the play going one-three to retire to the side.

1670
02:10:08,000 --> 02:10:10,000
And the in-eagle runs, one hit, no errors.

1671
02:10:10,000 --> 02:10:16,000
One man left at the end of the seven, Pittsburgh 4, Chicago 1.

1672
02:10:16,000 --> 02:10:20,000
Pittsburgh paint presents the Breathing House.

1673
02:10:20,000 --> 02:10:29,000
Your house is breathing all the time.

1674
02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:34,000
It expands when it's hot and humid, contracts when it's cool and dry,

1675
02:10:34,000 --> 02:10:38,000
inhales and exhales, stretches and shrinks.

1676
02:10:38,000 --> 02:10:42,000
That's why house paint cracks and bulges and peels.

1677
02:10:42,000 --> 02:10:45,000
So we made a new paint that stretches and breathes.

1678
02:10:45,000 --> 02:10:48,000
New Pittsburgh Sunproof Latex.

1679
02:10:48,000 --> 02:10:52,000
It has four times the stretchability of other house paints.

1680
02:10:52,000 --> 02:10:56,000
It breathes and expands and contracts with your house,

1681
02:10:56,000 --> 02:11:00,000
so it resists cracking and blistering and peeling.

1682
02:11:00,000 --> 02:11:06,000
Pittsburgh Sunproof Latex house paints last longer, years longer than any other house paint.

1683
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:11,000
Try it. Give your house a breather.

1684
02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:24,000
Twenty thousand, nine hundred and eighteen at fourth field for the final game.

1685
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:28,000
And Bob, there's a guy sitting down here that's made history here.

1686
02:11:28,000 --> 02:11:31,000
And this ballpark is synonymous with his name, isn't it?

1687
02:11:31,000 --> 02:11:33,000
Yeah, he made it easy as pie.

1688
02:11:33,000 --> 02:11:36,000
Glad to see him. I guess that's a B-trainer, doesn't it?

1689
02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:40,000
Sure good to see him up and around and know that he's Hale and Hardy.

1690
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:48,000
Well, I think it's quite an honor to just feel and produce two players that didn't produce but saw two players

1691
02:11:48,000 --> 02:11:52,000
and were unanimously selected as the all-time greatest players in their position.

1692
02:11:52,000 --> 02:11:56,000
Trainer, who's here now, played third, and of course the late Onus Lager,

1693
02:11:56,000 --> 02:12:01,000
who played short and is a judge by many as the greatest player of all time.

1694
02:12:01,000 --> 02:12:04,000
Yeah, it's good to see. He's probably out at the ballpark again.

1695
02:12:04,000 --> 02:12:06,000
He's recovering from an illness.

1696
02:12:06,000 --> 02:12:11,000
Billy Williams, who's had two hits in three times at Bat Steps in.

1697
02:12:11,000 --> 02:12:15,000
Fastball by Jimmy Nelson is just outside, ball one.

1698
02:12:15,000 --> 02:12:17,000
Pirates leading four to one.

1699
02:12:17,000 --> 02:12:22,000
We won the front game with a double header, three to two.

1700
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:26,000
Six more outs to go in this ballpark.

1701
02:12:26,000 --> 02:12:28,000
Line drive, center field.

1702
02:12:28,000 --> 02:12:32,000
Dan Lue will play it on about the second half, holding his first base.

1703
02:12:32,000 --> 02:12:42,000
Another well-infall by Williams.

1704
02:12:42,000 --> 02:12:48,000
Stepping in, Jim Hickman and Williams have been about it offensively for the Cubs in this series,

1705
02:12:48,000 --> 02:12:57,000
and I guess they're almost a week too, although Williams had some sort of a slump prior to coming in here.

1706
02:12:57,000 --> 02:13:02,000
And I was on on the fourth play, fly at the center, essentially walked back in the fifth

1707
02:13:02,000 --> 02:13:05,000
when Nelson picked out of a tough jam.

1708
02:13:05,000 --> 02:13:13,000
The bases loaded, got Santo to hit in with double play.

1709
02:13:13,000 --> 02:13:16,000
Curve ball way outside, one ball and a strike.

1710
02:13:16,000 --> 02:13:22,000
Activity now, the Pirates bullpen, left hander Luke Walker, who's got a save on the front game,

1711
02:13:22,000 --> 02:13:27,000
getting the final two outs after the bases are loaded,

1712
02:13:27,000 --> 02:13:40,000
and right hander Dave Juchte, who picked up the win in the front game.

1713
02:13:40,000 --> 02:13:44,000
Nelson, with that shared third base, takes the sign.

1714
02:13:44,000 --> 02:13:51,000
Here is the home ball in, taken by Hickman, one ball, one strike.

1715
02:13:51,000 --> 02:13:57,000
Jim Hickman has to be an all-star player this year for the first time in his major league career,

1716
02:13:57,000 --> 02:13:59,000
having a great year.

1717
02:13:59,000 --> 02:14:03,000
Hitting at 3.30, leaving the club in RBI.

1718
02:14:03,000 --> 02:14:06,000
Home ball, taken, foul tipped.

1719
02:14:06,000 --> 02:14:09,000
Tried to get the bat out of there, couldn't make it.

1720
02:14:09,000 --> 02:14:16,000
And the count now, ball and two strikes.

1721
02:14:16,000 --> 02:14:25,000
Nelson started this one-inch dig for the Bucks when he shut out the Cardinals and ten-an-inch won the nothing.

1722
02:14:25,000 --> 02:14:29,000
He's been fighting the strike cliche, but it has been a pretty good team effort all around.

1723
02:14:29,000 --> 02:14:48,000
One-two pitch, curve ball is outside, count even, two balls, two strikes.

1724
02:14:48,000 --> 02:14:55,000
Kevner deep at third, not five feet off the line.

1725
02:14:55,000 --> 02:15:14,000
Two-two pitch, bounce the shortstop Valley over to Mazuratsky to throw the first double play.

1726
02:15:14,000 --> 02:15:18,000
That's the third double play in this ball game.

1727
02:15:18,000 --> 02:15:25,000
That's the second that Alley and Mazuratsky have turned over.

1728
02:15:25,000 --> 02:15:31,000
1966 was a big year for Oop and Maz with a double play.

1729
02:15:31,000 --> 02:15:35,000
It's good to see both of them back healthy and playing once again.

1730
02:15:35,000 --> 02:15:40,000
Santo, 0-3, bounce into a double play with a base is loaded the last time.

1731
02:15:40,000 --> 02:15:42,000
Pirates leading 4-1.

1732
02:15:42,000 --> 02:15:49,000
Waking ball taken by Santo, strike one.

1733
02:15:49,000 --> 02:15:52,000
Not too many people leaving their seats.

1734
02:15:52,000 --> 02:15:54,000
40,918.

1735
02:15:54,000 --> 02:15:59,000
Boy, they've enjoyed a beautiful day for baseball and two good games.

1736
02:15:59,000 --> 02:16:07,000
Curve ball backhanded by May in the dirt, count even to the ball and the strike.

1737
02:16:07,000 --> 02:16:13,000
Pirate pitching, which has been a question mark in the spring and the early weeks of the season,

1738
02:16:13,000 --> 02:16:17,000
really starting to solidify now.

1739
02:16:17,000 --> 02:16:21,000
Found another arm in this guy, Jimmy Nelson.

1740
02:16:21,000 --> 02:16:25,000
The 1-1 pitch, a little bit high with a fast ball.

1741
02:16:25,000 --> 02:16:34,000
He's behind two balls and a strike.

1742
02:16:34,000 --> 02:16:39,000
He gives Don Osborne a lot of credit for the confidence he has in youngsters

1743
02:16:39,000 --> 02:16:43,000
and installs in youngsters or in spills.

1744
02:16:43,000 --> 02:16:57,000
Home ball inside, three balls and a strike.

1745
02:16:57,000 --> 02:17:02,000
3-1 delivery, just a little bit low, and that blocks Santo.

1746
02:17:02,000 --> 02:17:10,000
For Jimmy Nelson, that's walk number five.

1747
02:17:10,000 --> 02:17:17,000
Nelson, I would have to confess, this is not his best ball game, but he only scored one run, Bob.

1748
02:17:17,000 --> 02:17:18,000
That's right.

1749
02:17:18,000 --> 02:17:20,000
He's been running through some raindrops.

1750
02:17:20,000 --> 02:17:24,000
I remarked a little earlier, Nellie, while you were out getting a sandwich,

1751
02:17:24,000 --> 02:17:28,000
that I felt his palm ball wasn't doing what he wanted it to do.

1752
02:17:28,000 --> 02:17:32,000
He got amazed on the strikeout the first time he came in at the Biggies

1753
02:17:32,000 --> 02:17:34,000
and then got McCubby to go to the double play.

1754
02:17:34,000 --> 02:17:38,000
Then the next time out against the Dodgers, it stayed with him and stayed him out the next time.

1755
02:17:38,000 --> 02:17:39,000
He won the ball game.

1756
02:17:39,000 --> 02:17:45,000
It seemed to me that so far this early part of the game, anyhow, his palm ball wasn't where he wanted it.

1757
02:17:45,000 --> 02:17:47,000
Then he seemed to get it back for a while.

1758
02:17:47,000 --> 02:17:50,000
Now it seems to have deserted him again.

1759
02:17:50,000 --> 02:17:55,000
He's the kind of a guy, though, we mentioned before, that just doesn't know where to give up.

1760
02:17:55,000 --> 02:17:59,000
You've got to battle your way to the end.

1761
02:17:59,000 --> 02:18:01,000
A very good competitor.

1762
02:18:01,000 --> 02:18:09,000
That's something you have to have to be an outstanding pitcher just to make it to the big league.

1763
02:18:09,000 --> 02:18:12,000
Robertson will play behind Shattow at first base.

1764
02:18:12,000 --> 02:18:13,000
Four to one is the score.

1765
02:18:13,000 --> 02:18:14,000
The fire is leading.

1766
02:18:14,000 --> 02:18:15,000
Top of the eighth.

1767
02:18:15,000 --> 02:18:16,000
Callison about her.

1768
02:18:16,000 --> 02:18:17,000
Fouls one.

1769
02:18:17,000 --> 02:18:19,000
Back on the screen.

1770
02:18:19,000 --> 02:18:20,000
Oh, he had a good ball to hit that time.

1771
02:18:20,000 --> 02:18:25,000
A little bit annoyed that he didn't poke it.

1772
02:18:25,000 --> 02:18:36,000
Callison struck out, drew a walk, and bounced to Bill Mazurowski in three trips against Nelson.

1773
02:18:36,000 --> 02:18:41,000
Cubs were able to get only six hits in the front game.

1774
02:18:41,000 --> 02:18:42,000
Chopping ball to second.

1775
02:18:42,000 --> 02:18:48,000
Mazurowski on two hops, the first, and that retires the coach.

1776
02:18:48,000 --> 02:18:49,000
No run.

1777
02:18:49,000 --> 02:18:50,000
One hit.

1778
02:18:50,000 --> 02:18:51,000
No air.

1779
02:18:51,000 --> 02:18:52,000
It's a sad one.

1780
02:18:52,000 --> 02:18:53,000
We go to the bottom half of the eighth.

1781
02:18:53,000 --> 02:18:54,000
The fire is leading.

1782
02:18:54,000 --> 02:18:55,000
Four to one.

1783
02:18:55,000 --> 02:18:56,000
Commercial, right?

1784
02:18:56,000 --> 02:18:57,000
Right.

1785
02:18:57,000 --> 02:19:00,000
And it's good news about the great Plymouth Duster.

1786
02:19:00,000 --> 02:19:05,000
You know, Plymouth sales are soaring in this area, and this duster is one great reason.

1787
02:19:05,000 --> 02:19:06,000
Once you've seen it, you'll know why.

1788
02:19:06,000 --> 02:19:09,000
Small enough, yet big enough, just about says it.

1789
02:19:09,000 --> 02:19:10,000
This is what it says.

1790
02:19:10,000 --> 02:19:11,000
Duster seats five.

1791
02:19:11,000 --> 02:19:15,000
Now, if you've been looking at small cars, you know that's room for one more person than

1792
02:19:15,000 --> 02:19:16,000
most mini cars seat.

1793
02:19:16,000 --> 02:19:17,000
And look at the trunk.

1794
02:19:17,000 --> 02:19:20,000
There's room for just about anything and everything you'll ever want to take along.

1795
02:19:20,000 --> 02:19:21,000
Power, you say?

1796
02:19:21,000 --> 02:19:22,000
Well, power we got.

1797
02:19:22,000 --> 02:19:23,000
More power than most mini cars.

1798
02:19:23,000 --> 02:19:24,000
Power you can use on freeways.

1799
02:19:24,000 --> 02:19:25,000
Power to make that vacation drive a breeze.

1800
02:19:25,000 --> 02:19:26,000
And if a little lady talks style, show her duster.

1801
02:19:26,000 --> 02:19:27,000
Inside, outside, all around the duster, you'll never find anything that looks like a mini

1802
02:19:27,000 --> 02:19:28,000
car except the price.

1803
02:19:28,000 --> 02:19:29,000
Duster.

1804
02:19:29,000 --> 02:19:30,000
Priced like a mini car.

1805
02:19:30,000 --> 02:19:31,000
Built like a lot more.

1806
02:19:31,000 --> 02:19:32,000
There's a Plymouth dealer near you.

1807
02:19:32,000 --> 02:19:33,000
And you're going to be able to get a lot more.

1808
02:19:33,000 --> 02:19:34,000
And you're going to be able to get a lot more.

1809
02:19:34,000 --> 02:19:35,000
And you're going to be able to get a lot more.

1810
02:19:35,000 --> 02:19:36,000
And you're going to be able to get a lot more.

1811
02:19:36,000 --> 02:19:37,000
And you're going to be able to get a lot more.

1812
02:19:37,000 --> 02:19:48,000
And you're going to be able to get a lot more.

1813
02:19:48,000 --> 02:20:11,000
And you're going to be able to get a lot more.

1814
02:20:11,000 --> 02:20:32,000
And you're going to be able to get a lot more.

1815
02:20:32,000 --> 02:20:53,000
And you're going to be able to get a lot more.

1816
02:20:53,000 --> 02:21:20,000
And you're going to be able to get a lot more.

1817
02:21:20,000 --> 02:21:47,000
And you're going to be able to get a lot more.

1818
02:21:47,000 --> 02:21:51,000
Two up and two down.

1819
02:21:51,000 --> 02:21:56,000
Ladies and gentlemen, we see a day-long ride down to his place.

1820
02:21:56,000 --> 02:21:59,000
1956, good with the toker and that thing's still working.

1821
02:22:04,000 --> 02:22:06,000
I'm glad I am too.

1822
02:22:06,000 --> 02:22:09,000
Stijl off the fifth, fly ball to left field.

1823
02:22:09,000 --> 02:22:13,000
Just came back as Billy Williams and he runs it there.

1824
02:22:13,000 --> 02:22:21,000
Now an easy inning for Larry Gura. Free fly ball out, no runs, no hits, no errors, and on left.

1825
02:22:21,000 --> 02:22:27,000
We've completed eight innings of play and the pilots lead the second game four to one.

1826
02:22:27,000 --> 02:22:30,000
Your next car, what will it be?

1827
02:22:30,000 --> 02:22:35,000
Well, if you're on a budget you could settle for a nice little compact, nice and small, nice and cheap.

1828
02:22:35,000 --> 02:22:38,000
But what if you're the luxury type and still on a budget?

1829
02:22:38,000 --> 02:22:41,000
Then you're in trouble unless you see your Chrysler dealer.

1830
02:22:41,000 --> 02:22:47,000
That's right, Chrysler, because right now a full-size Chrysler Newport is priced only a few dollars a month more

1831
02:22:47,000 --> 02:22:50,000
than a Ford LTD or a Chevy Caprice comfortably equipped.

1832
02:22:50,000 --> 02:22:56,000
And that's unloaded Chrysler Newport, a four-door sedan with a big 383 cubic inch V8 engine

1833
02:22:56,000 --> 02:23:03,000
that uses regular gas, power steering, automatic transmission radio, fiberglass-belted white sidewall tires,

1834
02:23:03,000 --> 02:23:05,000
torsion bar suspension, and more.

1835
02:23:05,000 --> 02:23:09,000
Chrysler Newport, that's luxury, that's value.

1836
02:23:09,000 --> 02:23:12,000
That's your next car waiting for you right now.

1837
02:23:12,000 --> 02:23:16,000
And there's a Chrysler dealer near you.

1838
02:23:16,000 --> 02:23:21,000
See Andy Gregg or Carl Sobeck at Gregg Motor Company in Clareton,

1839
02:23:21,000 --> 02:23:26,000
or Phil Duttweiler at Phil Duttweiler Motors in Mason Town.

1840
02:23:32,000 --> 02:23:37,000
Well, Dave Justy has come on now and Nelson has gone eight innings for one run.

1841
02:23:37,000 --> 02:23:39,000
He can win, he cannot lose.

1842
02:23:39,000 --> 02:23:41,000
Justy can pick up a save.

1843
02:23:41,000 --> 02:23:43,000
He was the winner in the first game.

1844
02:23:43,000 --> 02:23:47,000
No question as we talked, he had been struggling.

1845
02:23:47,000 --> 02:23:52,000
But he gave up five walks, he threw a lot of pitches.

1846
02:23:52,000 --> 02:23:55,000
And Danny Murtaugh, you must remember one other thing.

1847
02:23:55,000 --> 02:23:58,000
This boy had a history earlier of a sore arm.

1848
02:23:58,000 --> 02:24:01,000
Danny Murtaugh doesn't want to horse around with that.

1849
02:24:01,000 --> 02:24:07,000
We have Al Oliver in right field and John Jeter has come.

1850
02:24:10,000 --> 02:24:13,000
Jeter's gone to left field.

1851
02:24:18,000 --> 02:24:21,000
Justy will go to Cleo James.

1852
02:24:21,000 --> 02:24:35,000
So we're down to what the Pirates hope are the final three outs before 40,918.

1853
02:24:38,000 --> 02:24:42,000
The Buccos won the first game, 3-2.

1854
02:24:42,000 --> 02:24:47,000
Montreal beat New York 3-2 to take two out of three from the match.

1855
02:24:47,000 --> 02:24:51,000
And now we're here in the ninth inning leading 4-1.

1856
02:24:51,000 --> 02:24:54,000
They outfield around to the left.

1857
02:24:54,000 --> 02:24:56,000
Now the pitch.

1858
02:24:56,000 --> 02:24:59,000
Danny bounces it up the middle and over to the left is Ali.

1859
02:24:59,000 --> 02:25:02,000
Up behind seconds, does he bounce?

1860
02:25:05,000 --> 02:25:09,000
Beautiful ranging play by Gene Ali.

1861
02:25:10,000 --> 02:25:12,000
One away.

1862
02:25:12,000 --> 02:25:16,000
Now J.C. Martin over two.

1863
02:25:16,000 --> 02:25:20,000
He flied to left, he walked and he popped his short.

1864
02:25:25,000 --> 02:25:28,000
Hearts leading 4-1.

1865
02:25:29,000 --> 02:25:33,000
They outfield playing J.C. Martin straight away.

1866
02:25:36,000 --> 02:25:38,000
Now the pitch.

1867
02:25:38,000 --> 02:25:42,000
Ball high.

1868
02:25:43,000 --> 02:25:45,000
Here's the goal.

1869
02:25:45,000 --> 02:25:52,000
The gentleman that started me broadcasting baseball, the late Rosie Rosewell, opened up for us for your broadcasting.

1870
02:25:52,000 --> 02:25:56,000
And now it looks like we're going to close it down.

1871
02:25:56,000 --> 02:26:00,000
One ball, one strike.

1872
02:26:00,000 --> 02:26:05,000
And I'll be honest with you, it's getting to me.

1873
02:26:05,000 --> 02:26:11,000
The 1-1 pitch, palm ball popped into left fielder and Jeter waiting.

1874
02:26:11,000 --> 02:26:13,000
Two out.

1875
02:26:15,000 --> 02:26:18,000
Willie Smith coming up.

1876
02:26:24,000 --> 02:26:29,000
Sixty-one years, almost 5,000 baseball games.

1877
02:26:29,000 --> 02:26:34,000
Lady Forbes is about to retire.

1878
02:26:36,000 --> 02:26:43,000
The Cubs who opened it 61 years ago, close it here with our pirates.

1879
02:26:44,000 --> 02:26:54,000
And just imagine, I doubt if maybe one man was living at the time on this field.

1880
02:26:54,000 --> 02:26:59,000
Could have been Leo Durochi, about the only one.

1881
02:26:59,000 --> 02:27:02,000
And he would have been updated.

1882
02:27:02,000 --> 02:27:07,000
Strike his call, the left hand batting, Willie Smith.

1883
02:27:11,000 --> 02:27:14,000
There is an umpire here that could say that.

1884
02:27:14,000 --> 02:27:18,000
Foul back, strike two.

1885
02:27:18,000 --> 02:27:27,000
I know Leo, he wouldn't leave you, but it's worth taking him in a push.

1886
02:27:27,000 --> 02:27:31,000
When I say Leo, I mean late 60s.

1887
02:27:31,000 --> 02:27:35,000
Here's the 0-2 pitcher, Smith, high for a ball, one and two.

1888
02:27:37,000 --> 02:27:42,000
Les Weddingen, the director of the club over here, just is beaming along with

1889
02:27:42,000 --> 02:27:49,000
the ladies, Joe Brown and Wyatt Cindy, their guest Thomas Johnson on the 36th wedding anniversary, one-two pitch.

1890
02:27:49,000 --> 02:27:52,000
Low, two and two.

1891
02:27:56,000 --> 02:28:03,000
Two balls, two strikes, two out, four-one Pittsburgh, top half of the night.

1892
02:28:03,000 --> 02:28:09,000
And the 2-2 pitch to Smith.

1893
02:28:09,000 --> 02:28:13,000
Base hit, right up the middle.

1894
02:28:19,000 --> 02:28:25,000
Number seven brings up Don Kessinger, he's singled and scored, it's got a long run.

1895
02:28:25,000 --> 02:28:29,000
He flied out to right field in the third, he looped the single to left in the fifth,

1896
02:28:29,000 --> 02:28:33,000
he bounced out the second in the seventh.

1897
02:28:38,000 --> 02:28:42,000
The outfield playing around to the left.

1898
02:28:42,000 --> 02:28:45,000
To the left-hand batting, Kessinger.

1899
02:28:45,000 --> 02:28:49,000
Justy, who won the first game bidding for a save in the second game,

1900
02:28:49,000 --> 02:28:52,000
Nelson, the pitcher of record.

1901
02:28:52,000 --> 02:28:59,000
Now the pitch, Kessinger takes a strike.

1902
02:29:02,000 --> 02:29:07,000
By 25 years from now, 300,000 people would have been here at this game,

1903
02:29:07,000 --> 02:29:09,000
it always is that way.

1904
02:29:09,000 --> 02:29:12,000
Pitch high, ball one, strike one.

1905
02:29:12,000 --> 02:29:16,000
Bidding with Al Barlich, the senior umpire of the National League,

1906
02:29:16,000 --> 02:29:19,000
would call the balls and strikes in the first game with Eddie Vargo,

1907
02:29:19,000 --> 02:29:24,000
born and reared in Butler, Pennsylvania, who spent many a pleasurable hour here

1908
02:29:24,000 --> 02:29:27,000
as a spectator umpire of the last game.

1909
02:29:27,000 --> 02:29:30,000
One ball, one strike.

1910
02:29:30,000 --> 02:29:37,000
A high chopper over the man going over forward is Ness, he got it, it's all over.

1911
02:29:37,000 --> 02:29:40,000
It's all over.

1912
02:29:40,000 --> 02:29:47,000
Sixty-one years, and the Buccos receive a standing ovation.

1913
02:29:47,000 --> 02:29:51,000
They close it out, and the tubs go down to the beach.

1914
02:29:51,000 --> 02:29:54,000
No runs, one hit, no errors, and one left.

1915
02:29:54,000 --> 02:29:58,000
Pittsburgh takes the doubleheader, three-two and four to one.

1916
02:29:58,000 --> 02:30:00,000
Pardon me, sir, I notice you are painting your house.

1917
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:02,000
Yes, I'm painting my house.

1918
02:30:02,000 --> 02:30:07,000
With Pittsburgh sunproofed, the new latex house paint that fights discoloration from air pollution.

1919
02:30:07,000 --> 02:30:08,000
Well, that's what they claim.

1920
02:30:08,000 --> 02:30:10,000
Air pollution quite a problem in this city, is it?

1921
02:30:10,000 --> 02:30:11,000
You're kidding or what?

1922
02:30:11,000 --> 02:30:14,000
I wonder if you'd mind slipping off that gas mask for just a moment,

1923
02:30:14,000 --> 02:30:16,000
we're not picking up too clearly.

1924
02:30:16,000 --> 02:30:19,000
Okay, well, just for a moment.

1925
02:30:19,000 --> 02:30:20,000
That's better.

1926
02:30:20,000 --> 02:30:25,000
Sunproof from Pittsburgh not only allows your house to stretch and shrink with extreme hot or cold weather,

1927
02:30:25,000 --> 02:30:29,000
it has also been developed to fight mildew and the ravages of air pollution.

1928
02:30:29,000 --> 02:30:31,000
Can you hurry it up, please?

1929
02:30:31,000 --> 02:30:35,000
As air pollution from automobiles and industry increases in the seventies,

1930
02:30:35,000 --> 02:30:39,000
isn't it a comfort to know that your house will continue to look great longer

1931
02:30:39,000 --> 02:30:42,000
when it's painted with Pittsburgh's new sunproof?

1932
02:30:42,000 --> 02:30:44,000
It's a kind of a comfort, yeah.

1933
02:30:44,000 --> 02:30:49,000
Good luck to your lungs in the seventies, but at least your house will look great.

1934
02:30:49,000 --> 02:30:53,000
In North Hills, your Pittsburgh paint dealer is John Rogers,

1935
02:30:53,000 --> 02:30:56,000
North Hills Village Shopping Center, McKnight Road.

1936
02:30:56,000 --> 02:31:03,000
In Mount Lebanon, there's a Pittsburgh paint center located at 316 Castle Shannon Boulevard.

1937
02:31:03,000 --> 02:31:07,000
Before we summarize, the doubleheader that has moved the Pittsburgh Pirates

1938
02:31:07,000 --> 02:31:12,000
into a virtual drive for first place in the Eastern Division of the National League

1939
02:31:12,000 --> 02:31:16,000
with the New York Met and the Met coming up tomorrow night.

1940
02:31:16,000 --> 02:31:22,000
Let's pause for station identification along the Pittsburgh Pirate radio network.

1941
02:31:22,000 --> 02:31:40,000
Fielding everything, open mic with Mike Levine,

1942
02:31:40,000 --> 02:31:52,000
6-9, on Katie J.A. Pittsburgh.

1943
02:31:52,000 --> 02:31:58,000
In the first game of a doubleheader, the Pittsburgh Pirates, who were going on to win two games,

1944
02:31:58,000 --> 02:32:04,000
picked up a 3-2 victory, directing their winning streak to six in a row,

1945
02:32:04,000 --> 02:32:11,000
a half game at that stage of the day closer to the league-leading New York Mets.

1946
02:32:11,000 --> 02:32:16,000
In the first game, the Pirates had three runs, seven hits and no errors,

1947
02:32:16,000 --> 02:32:21,000
and for the Chicago Cubs, two runs, six hits and one error.

1948
02:32:21,000 --> 02:32:29,000
The winning pitcher in relief was Dave Justy, his record four and nothing.

1949
02:32:29,000 --> 02:32:38,000
The losing pitcher for the Chicago Cubs was Billy Hans, and his record dropped to nine and seven.

1950
02:32:38,000 --> 02:32:46,000
It was a great first game for the Bucks to win, as they extended their winning streak to six straight

1951
02:32:46,000 --> 02:32:49,000
and the Cubs losing streak to nine in a row.

1952
02:32:49,000 --> 02:32:56,000
And then in the second game of the doubleheader, the Chicago Cubs greeted the young right-hander,

1953
02:32:56,000 --> 02:32:59,000
Nelson, with three consecutive hits.

1954
02:32:59,000 --> 02:33:03,000
There was action in the Pirate bullpen, and the Cubs had a one-nothing lead.

1955
02:33:03,000 --> 02:33:09,000
In the last of the first inning, Al Oliver hit his sixth-goal run of the season and tied the game at one.

1956
02:33:09,000 --> 02:33:14,000
Then in the fifth inning, the Pirates went on top with a couple of runs,

1957
02:33:14,000 --> 02:33:19,000
added another run in the sixth inning, four runs, five hits and no errors,

1958
02:33:19,000 --> 02:33:27,000
for the victorious Pittsburgh Pirates and for the Chicago Cubbies, one run, seven hits and one error.

1959
02:33:27,000 --> 02:33:32,000
The winner in the second game, Nelson, his record is now three and nothing,

1960
02:33:32,000 --> 02:33:37,000
and Justy was credited with his 11th save of the season.

1961
02:33:37,000 --> 02:33:44,000
The starter and loser for the Chicago Cubs was Pappas, with a record of two and two.

1962
02:33:44,000 --> 02:33:54,000
The 40,918 jam forms field was the final game to be played in the history of this park.

1963
02:33:54,000 --> 02:34:05,000
It all began in 1909, and in that year, the Pirates went on to win the pennant and to win the World Series.

1964
02:34:05,000 --> 02:34:11,000
And now they close it out with a sweep of the three-game series from the Chicago Cubs

1965
02:34:11,000 --> 02:34:15,000
within a virtual tie of first place in the Eastern Division.

1966
02:34:15,000 --> 02:34:19,000
New York lost today, their record is 38-33.

1967
02:34:19,000 --> 02:34:26,000
The Pirates, by winning two, now 40 victories, more than any other team in the Eastern Division.

1968
02:34:26,000 --> 02:34:32,000
They have lost 35 times. The percentage for New York is 535.

1969
02:34:32,000 --> 02:34:37,000
The percentage for the Pittsburgh Pirates is 533.

1970
02:34:37,000 --> 02:34:41,000
Nelly, this has been a grand and glorious day.

1971
02:34:41,000 --> 02:34:46,000
I know how Bob has felt beginning his broadcasting career here.

1972
02:34:46,000 --> 02:34:52,000
Your pitching career was right out there on that mound, and before you do close it off,

1973
02:34:52,000 --> 02:34:58,000
I'm sure there must be a goose bump or two along your arms and down your back,

1974
02:34:58,000 --> 02:35:04,000
and maybe a sad note in your voice and a tear in your eye.

1975
02:35:04,000 --> 02:35:10,000
Well, not really, not a tear in my eye, but you get a little nostalgic about these moments, I'm sure.

1976
02:35:10,000 --> 02:35:16,000
I got more goose bumps during the ball game because this ball club has kind of attracted a lot of enthusiasm,

1977
02:35:16,000 --> 02:35:20,000
or brought some enthusiasm back to Pittsburgh and the sports, and I'm happy to see that.

1978
02:35:20,000 --> 02:35:26,000
But as far as my pitching career was brief in the big leagues, I won my first ball game here,

1979
02:35:26,000 --> 02:35:29,000
and it's something I'll always treasure. You can't take it away from you.

1980
02:35:29,000 --> 02:35:33,000
It's something you dream when you're a little kid, a chance to play in the big leagues.

1981
02:35:33,000 --> 02:35:36,000
You always remember the first one you get along.

1982
02:35:36,000 --> 02:35:37,000
It's right here again.

1983
02:35:37,000 --> 02:35:40,000
See, then, Milwaukee Braves.

1984
02:35:40,000 --> 02:35:46,000
O'Lanxion was being played, and players are now bringing their baseball caps out,

1985
02:35:46,000 --> 02:35:48,000
and they're getting a huge response here, Gene.

1986
02:35:48,000 --> 02:35:53,000
It's a real heartwarming thing. The fans are enjoying it, and I think the players are, too.

1987
02:35:53,000 --> 02:35:56,000
And it's seven in a row now for the Bucks.

1988
02:35:56,000 --> 02:36:00,000
That's right. Momentum is a wonderful thing.

1989
02:36:00,000 --> 02:36:09,000
I think Roberto's ovation would be something that the folks along our higher-up network would like to pick up,

1990
02:36:09,000 --> 02:36:13,000
as each player has autographed his baseball cap.

1991
02:36:16,000 --> 02:36:21,000
That is Roberto Clemente. That was for Clemente.

1992
02:36:22,000 --> 02:36:27,000
Bill Maserati will look at a few pretty good cheers, too.

1993
02:36:27,000 --> 02:36:29,000
That's high.

1994
02:36:29,000 --> 02:36:35,000
Well, Mellie, along with everything that goes with the winning of the doubleheader and the closing of Forbes Field and all,

1995
02:36:35,000 --> 02:36:40,000
you can't say, well, that's the season, because the players leave tomorrow morning.

1996
02:36:40,000 --> 02:36:45,000
We go into New York, and they begin a road trip against the New York Mets

1997
02:36:45,000 --> 02:36:52,000
Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday afternoon. Thursday afternoon will be, and Thursday night will be a day off.

1998
02:36:52,000 --> 02:36:59,000
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in Chicago. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday along in Philadelphia.

1999
02:36:59,000 --> 02:37:04,000
And then Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in St. Louis, all before the All-Star Break.

2000
02:37:04,000 --> 02:37:07,000
So they have a lot of work cut out for them yet.

2001
02:37:07,000 --> 02:37:13,000
The next six days are going to be real big ones for this ball club. It's in Shea Stadium.

2002
02:37:13,000 --> 02:37:18,000
And, of course, then the weekend series with the Cubs. They don't want to come back.

2003
02:37:18,000 --> 02:37:22,000
The Cubs is a good ball club, Chicago. They're not beaten. They're going to bounce back. It's too early.

2004
02:37:22,000 --> 02:37:25,000
Their pitching's a little bit hurting right now, and they're not hitting.

2005
02:37:25,000 --> 02:37:29,000
But every ball club goes through that. We've got momentum and they don't.

2006
02:37:29,000 --> 02:37:34,000
But it's going to be a very interesting road trip, and we'll be most happy to bring it to you.

2007
02:37:34,000 --> 02:37:40,000
Well, I guess we'll wind it up from Forbes Field. It's been my pleasure to sit along with Bob Prince for four years,

2008
02:37:40,000 --> 02:37:43,000
and this year to sit along with Gene Osborne.

2009
02:37:43,000 --> 02:37:47,000
That winds up our power of broadcast for today and forever from Forbes Field.

2010
02:37:47,000 --> 02:37:52,000
We'll be back on the air tomorrow at 8 o'clock from Shea Stadium. We take on the New York Mets.

2011
02:37:52,000 --> 02:37:59,000
Now speaking for Bob Prince, the gunner, for Gene Osborne, good old trusty engineer, George Cleave,

2012
02:37:59,000 --> 02:38:04,000
and our loyal statistician, Radio Rich, Nellie King, saying so long for us.

2013
02:38:04,000 --> 02:38:09,000
Your colorful Pittsburgh Thanksgiving, where you can select from a rainbow of colors.

2014
02:38:09,000 --> 02:38:13,000
Pittsburgh Thanksgiving, a product of PPG Industries.

2015
02:38:13,000 --> 02:38:19,000
For Iron City Beer, next time your beer thirst comes up, wet it down with the number one beer out here,

2016
02:38:19,000 --> 02:38:24,000
Iron City Beer. Once you get there, you'll never want to lose it.

2017
02:38:24,000 --> 02:38:31,000
And for Atlantic Richfield Company and your local Atlantic dealer, drive in where you see the Red Ball Center.

2018
02:38:31,000 --> 02:38:38,000
Red Ball Service is your Atlantic dealer's way of assuring you good service every time you come in.

2023
02:38:57,000 --> 02:39:02,000
Once again, the final score is ever from Forbes Field.

2024
02:39:02,000 --> 02:39:07,000
The Pirates beat the Double Headers. The Pirates won the front ball games 3-2.

2025
02:39:07,000 --> 02:39:10,000
They came back to win the night cap 4-1.

2026
02:39:10,000 --> 02:39:14,000
All line time was signed and we'll say it too.

2027
02:39:14,000 --> 02:39:37,000
This is the Pirates, big ball night.
