00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:16,000
The Cincinnati Reds faced the St. Louis Cardinals at Bush Stadium for a Sunday afternoon game on September 29th, 1963.

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
This last game of the season wasn't really about the standings, but it was a big deal in St. Louis.

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
It was Stan Musial's final game, marking the end of an era.

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Cincinnati was in fifth place, coached by Fred Hutchinson. Their season was most notable for the emergence of rookie of the year Pete Rose.

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
St. Louis had a solid season in 1963 under manager Johnny Keene.

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
They finished with 93 wins, but six games behind the eventual World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
But 1963 marked the final season for future Hall of Famer Stan Musial.

9
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:59,000
The three-time MVP won the batting title seven times in his 22-year career and would finish with 3630 hits, 475 home runs, and a lifetime 331 batting average.

10
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
This broadcast is of the final game of his career.

11
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Although it's only a partial recording, the audio was cut off before the seventh inning after Musial was pulled from the game for a pinch runner.

12
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:17,000
This partial audio recording is from the St. Louis Radio broadcast featuring announcers Harry Carey and Jerry Gross.

13
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
And Lutton's right cigarette.

14
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Yet with a taste of fine tobacco, yet Lutton, a taste to start with, a taste to stay with.

15
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Now let's follow the Redbirds in action.

16
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Hello again everyone. This is Jerry Gross with Harry Carey speaking to you from Busch Stadium in St. Louis where it's the Cardinals against the Cincinnati Reds in the final game of the 1963 baseball season.

17
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:26,000
More important, it's the last time that Stanley Frank Musial will don a uniform as an active player, marking the end of a tremendous career.

18
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:37,000
We have an outstanding crowd on hand, over 30,000 fans in the confines of Busch Stadium with a temperature around 62 to 65 degrees.

19
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
The wind is blowing right now out toward the right field foul line from left field.

20
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:49,000
It's an ideal day for baseball. Celebrities from all over the world are here to pay homage to Stanley Frank.

21
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:59,000
A band out on the field right now entertaining the fans who have come out here early. This game has been a sellout, you know, for over a month and a half.

22
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,000
And 30,000 fans jamming tight in here to say goodbye.

23
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:12,000
This broadcast is authorized under rights credit by the St. Louis National Baseball Club, solely for the entertainment of our listening audience.

25
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:31,000
And before we bring you some more of the pregame activities and then the game itself, let's take ten seconds for station identification.

26
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
This is the Cardinals Baseball Network.

27
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
AMOX, AMFM, St. Louis.

28
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Best way to ship food in the heart of America is Wabash Cannonball Freight Service.

29
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:55,000
For the Cincinnati Reds, this is not just another ball game because they're battling for some money as far as the National League race is concerned.

30
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Trailing the league leading and the pennant winning Los Angeles Dodgers by 13 and a half games.

31
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:13,000
And right behind them, close on their heels, only a half game back, the Philadelphia Phillies, they have 185, whereas Cincinnati has 186, but they're all even 75 losses on the year.

32
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,000
And a big ball game here. Other games to report as far as the National League's concerned.

33
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000
We'll give those to you shortly.

34
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Again to remind you that with this the final day of Muceo's playing career.

35
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Photographers were out here about 10 o'clock and when Stan came in to the dressing room, they were waiting for him and it's been mass confusion throughout most of the day, as it has for the last two weeks.

36
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Harry Carrey, the voice of the Cardinals, is down on the field.

37
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:50,000
He will be in on the pregame ceremonies and then he will join us up here at the booth to bring you all the thrilling action of this, the final game in Stan's career.

38
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:56,000
The Dodgers, as you know, have won it, the Cardinals solidifying second place, trailing by seven and a half.

39
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,000
The Giants are 13 games out now and Cincinnati 13 and a half and Philadelphia 14.

40
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,000
So that's the way the First Division in the National League stands right now.

41
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Stan Muceo's family has come out on the field. They're down near home plate.

42
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Harry Carrey goes over to shake the hands of some of the celebrities.

43
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:21,000
And we're just moments away from the opening ceremonies, Ford Frick, the baseball commissioner is on hand.

44
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Joe Cronin of the American League is here.

45
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Mayor Tucker, the mayor of St. Louis, on hand.

46
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
And Governor Dalton in the great state of Missouri is here.

47
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Presentations to be made, Bing Devine, of course, down with his family.

48
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Sid Keener from the Baseball Hall of Fame is here.

49
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
And this is like a World Series.

50
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:45,000
And Stan himself said today, kidding, across with Kurt Klut prior to the game, hey Kurt, this is just like a World Series.

51
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:53,000
With all the writers here and all the photographers, a World Series atmosphere in an autumn day here in St. Louis.

52
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:00,000
The action down below will be getting underway about 2 o'clock and the ceremonies will take approximately a half an hour.

53
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
There'll be gifts to the Muceo family, accolades from the press.

54
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:10,000
And down below, number 6 walks out of the dugout and ladies and gentlemen, he's getting a standing ovation.

55
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:20,000
From not only his teammates, members of the press, and the crowd here rising, 30,000 plus to say hello before the ceremonies have even begun.

56
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Muceo shaking hands with each and every one of the individuals.

57
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
42 years old, a wonder.

58
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:34,000
And a man today, his face, as he gets a kiss from his family, his face looks today with a beaming smile as though he were 22.

59
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:43,000
And the crowd in reckless anticipation, of course, all hoping that Stan will bow with a tremendous deck.

60
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000
We have celebrities from newspapers all over the country on hand.

61
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Jim Toomey is the master of ceremonies.

62
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,000
He's getting set to present all the pregame activity here.

63
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Muceo's great career coming to a close.

64
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:12,000
The entire Cardinal ball club now has come out of the third base dugout and is lining up between the third base line and home plate.

65
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,000
The Cincinnati Reds ball club occupying the first base dugout.

66
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000
And in the ball game today, it'll be Bob Gibson, the right-hander.

67
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:26,000
He'll be going along for the Cardinals against the fine right-hander of the Cincinnati Reds, Jim Belloni.

68
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:38,000
The press all around, preparing to take the pictures on this, the final day of Stan Muceo.

69
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:49,000
At this time, we'd like to welcome to our network the television audience picking up this, the final day of Stan Muceo.

70
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:56,000
And right now, let's go down to the playing field and to Jim Toomey with the pregame ceremony.

71
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, we will hear from Marty of, Mortys of Gaslight Square, Marty Bronson, who will sing our national anthem.

72
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
The national anthem.

73
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000
The national anthem.

74
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
The national anthem.

75
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:49,000
The national anthem of the Reds.

76
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Welcome, welcome everybody to Stan Muceo's day.

77
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:13,000
First of all, speaking for the fans, we will have a man who has probably seen Stan play more games than anyone except Stan himself.

78
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Harry Carrey.

79
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Thank you very much, Jim. Hello again, everybody.

80
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Stan, I'd like to say what I think your greatest friends, your warmest admirers would say if they were here at this microphone.

81
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:43,000
I'm referring to these people, these wonderful people, the fans, your fans.

82
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:53,000
You've given us unforgettable thrills on the field, and you've given us something to be tremendously proud of off the field.

83
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,000
And so we would say to you, thanks for the wonderful memories.

84
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Memories of the years were not dim, but rather enrich and enhanced.

85
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Yours has been a marvelous career.

86
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:16,000
As the years go by, as I talk about these memories, one of the proudest distinctions we'll all have,

87
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:26,000
as we talk of youngsters not yet born and others too young to know now, that we have the privilege of watching Stan the man play.

88
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:48,000
And so, knowing that your future and your success is assured, we can but say to you and your wonderful family,

89
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:57,000
the best of luck, continued happiness, and the best of health.

90
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,000
And now, Stan, just one request we have to make.

91
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Please hit one more out on Grand Aventer today.

92
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:41,000
We're not very good.

93
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:26,000
And now, ladies and gentlemen, it gives me a great deal of pleasure and pride to give you Stan Musel.

94
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Thank you.

95
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Thank you.

96
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Thank you, Mr. Bush.

97
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Thank you, sports fans here at St. Louis, for this wonderful reception.

98
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:38,000
I want to thank Mayor Tucker, Governor Dalton, Mr. Coffin, and of course my friends at the Scouts

99
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:44,000
for the many wonderful, fine things they said about me here this afternoon.

100
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:50,000
And it's the number of pride I want to thank them very, very much.

101
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:59,000
I had so many things I wanted to say here today that I made a few notes,

102
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:21,000
so I hope you can just bear with me for a while, because as long as I live, this is a day I will always remember.

103
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:31,000
And for me, it's a day of both great joy and sorrow, particularly the joy of this wonderful celebration

104
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:37,000
and the sorrow which always comes when we have to say farewell.

105
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:46,000
And it's a day when my heart is filled with thanks for so many who made these 22 years possible.

106
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:52,000
I'm very grateful to the officials of both baseball world who are here today,

107
00:15:52,000 --> 00:16:01,000
Commissioner Frick, Mr. Jowes of the National League, and Mr. Conn of the American League.

108
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,000
I think all baseball players should be grateful to them too,

109
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,000
because they kept professional baseball on such a high level,

110
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:16,000
that I have always been and will be proud to be a part of it.

111
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:25,000
And my sincere thanks go to every manager who helped me and guided me in my baseball career.

112
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,000
And of course, two of the finest gentlemen are here today.

113
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:35,000
I'm referring to Johnny King, who's been my inspiration for the last few years and really kept me going,

114
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,000
and my pal from the Cincinnati Reds, Fred Hutchison.

115
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:52,000
I wish to thank all the players who have been my teammates over the years.

116
00:16:52,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Of course, particularly my teammates of today, and I'm really proud of my mates by the through here,

117
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,000
the run that gave me the dodge of this particular season.

118
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:16,000
They have got me and always been an inspiration to me,

119
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:22,000
and I always thought I was only a part of a great team and a great organization.

120
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,000
So to them I said I'm going to miss baseball, I'm going to miss my teammates,

121
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:33,000
and I certainly appreciate this wonderful ring they presented me today.

122
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:40,000
I think, though, that after today they're going to be kind of happy of me making all these speeches.

123
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:47,000
So how does this defeat a last one?

124
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,000
I'd also like to thank all the owners of the carnals whom I serve,

125
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,000
and particularly thank a man who's done so much for baseball and the city of St. Louis,

126
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:02,000
and that's our boss and my boss, Gussie Bush. He's my buddy.

127
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:15,000
And naturally I appreciate the fact that while I was still playing,

128
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:25,000
why they initiated me into another capacity with the cardinals, and for that I'll always feel grateful, Mr. Bush.

129
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:33,000
And of course I can't say enough about the wonderful statue that is presented to me here today,

130
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,000
and I appreciate that very, very much.

131
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Naturally I want to thank my parents for talking to me about really important things in life,

132
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,000
and I want to thank my wife, Will, and my children.

133
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:53,000
We have been a strong support for our part-time husband and father,

134
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,000
which every traveling athlete has to be.

135
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,000
But then most again I want to thank God for giving me these talents I had,

136
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:10,000
and giving me good health, and protecting me in every way so these 22 years of baseball have been possible.

137
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:27,000
My thanks go out to all the wonderful baseball fans everywhere who have been good to me

138
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,000
and have encouraged me to always do my best.

139
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:39,000
But most of all I want to thank the wonderful people of St. Louis who have adopted me as one of their own.

140
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:56,000
And I'm happy and proud that my entire big league career was right here in St. Louis.

141
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:05,000
No people anywhere could have been more kind, gracious, or warm than you St. Louis fans that they have been to me.

142
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:14,000
And I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making these 22 years the happiest that they could be for any man.

143
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:25,000
In conclusion, I want to thank the sports writers, the radio and television men, and the talkers everywhere.

144
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:31,000
All of them have so paced with me through the years.

145
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:41,000
As I hang up this uniform today, I will leave the pocket a wonderful book of many happy memories.

146
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,000
It's not the book of the records I have been lucky to make.

147
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:54,000
It's a book of pictures of people in it, all of whom that I have tried to thank today.

148
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,000
And for a minute I'd like to strike a serious note.

149
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,000
If my baseball career has taught me anything it is this.

150
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:14,000
You have the opportunity to offer any young man who wants to get to the top in his chosen profession.

151
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Naturally, I hate to say goodbye.

152
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,000
So until we meet again, I want to thank you very much.

153
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Applause

154
00:21:38,000 --> 00:22:01,000
Applause

155
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Needless to say, standing ovation for Stan Musial as he says goodbye and stands near his charming wife, Lil, as the photographers take the picture.

156
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,000
We'll be back with the starting lineups and the play-by-play in just a minute.

157
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Saddleback, enjoy the best of two worlds in one great beer.

158
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Bush Bavarian, with all the old world smoothness of Bavaria's fine beers.

159
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:35,000
And as refreshing as Bavaria itself.

160
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:43,000
Brewed here in America, brewed light and lively, fits perfectly with America's own relaxed way of living.

161
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Only Bush Bavarian brings you the best of two worlds in one great beer.

162
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Enjoy new world lightness, old world smoothness, the best of two worlds in one great beer.

163
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:23,000
Bush Bavarian.

164
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Back at Bush Stadium in St. Louis before we continue with the ceremonies, as Stan Musial is about to drive around the field in an open convertible.

165
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:37,000
We'll take ten seconds for station identification. This is the Cardinals Baseball Network.

166
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:53,000
KMWC MFM St. Louis. Charter. National. Charter National Life Insurance has enjoyed bringing you these messages this season. Thank you for listening.

167
00:23:53,000 --> 00:24:22,000
This is Jerry Gross back at Bush Stadium in St. Louis. Stan Musial is going to drive around the field.

168
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:27,000
In a convertible and the crowd picks up the applause as he moves by them.

169
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,000
In the second automobile, Stan's wife Lil and daughter Janet.

170
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:44,000
And in the third automobile, the open convertible with the tremendous picture of Stan shining an autograph for a little boy which will be placed, of course, near the new stadium in St. Louis.

171
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Stan's son Dick and his daughter Jerry.

172
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:57,000
And as the Musials pass around the field with the band in front of them, the crowd, of course, gives them a very heartwarming ovation.

173
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Let's take a look now at the starting lineups for this afternoon's final game of the 1963 season.

174
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:13,000
For the Cincinnati Reds, manager Fred Hutchinson will lead off with Pete Rose. He'll be at second base. Tommy Harper will bat second. He'll be in right field.

175
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:27,000
The speed merchant in center field hitting third, Beta Pinson. And the man who's had a struggle this year but still one of the most feared hitters in the National League, Frank Robinson will be hitting clean up and Robinson will be in left field.

176
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:34,000
Hitting fifth it will be the first baseman, Gordy Coleman. Coleman batting fifth, he's at first base.

177
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:40,000
Product of Ohio State and a fine young catcher, Johnny Edwards will bat sixth and he'll be working behind the play.

178
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Leo Gico Cardenas. Cardenas will bat seventh. He'll be at shortstop. Hitting eighth it's Eddie Casco, the third baseman.

179
00:25:49,000 --> 00:26:02,000
And out on the mound warming up down to our right now, down the right field line, it's Jim Maloney. Maloney looking for his 24th victory of the current season.

180
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:14,000
A look at the lineup for the Cardinals as manager Johnny Keene will start off with Kurt Flood out in center field. Dick Grode who's had a tremendous season as you know will be batting second. He'll be at shortstop.

181
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Miu Ceil will be hitting third for the final time in his career and he will be in left field. Ken Boyer is the clean up batter at third base. Boyer at third, the captain of the Cardinals.

182
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Bill White is batting fifth this afternoon. He'll be at first base. White batting fifth at first base. Charlie James will hit sixth. James will be in right field.

183
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:48,000
And Tim McCarver who has been a great surprise and a pleasant one for Cardinal fans throughout the country. McCarver hits seventh and McCarver works behind the play.

184
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Batting in the eighth position it'll be Julian Javier, the second baseman. Javier, fast feeling young fella, will be hitting eighth and he'll be down at second.

185
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:07,000
And out on the mound another flame thrower. It'll be Bob Gibson who leads the Redbirds in strikeouts this year. He's won 18 ball games and dropped nine.

186
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:22,000
He goes into this game with a record of 3.47. Miu Ceil is now near the right field bleachers approaching the 310 foot foul mark and goes by Jim Maloney warming up in the bullpen.

187
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:33,000
And saying hello and goodbye to the fans as they reach out and say goodbye. Some trying to shake his hand. Others just trying to get close enough to say hello and goodbye.

188
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:45,000
And some of the great baseball fans in the world now in the right field bleachers in the right field grandstand area, they have a chance to say hello to Stan and hello to his family and take a real good look at that plaque.

189
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:54,000
And a real fine look at the picture which of course will be at Bush Stadium when the new stadium opens up sometime in the near future.

190
00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:04,000
The fan precedes Miu Ceil and the other two automobiles. The color guard is already at center field. The wind is now blowing briskly from left field toward the right field corner.

191
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:20,000
And so the stage is more or less set. The final contest of the 1963 season and looking at last night's scores, we told you earlier it would be a tight race in the National League should Cincinnati win it.

192
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Well the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Dodgers last night by the score of 12 to 3, which now is things up considerably as far as the third, fourth, and fifteenth in the National League are concerned.

193
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:49,000
With the Giants now 12 games behind, the Reds 13, and the Phillies are now 13. So should the Giants lose their ball game and should Cincinnati win this one it's conceivable that the National League race in the battle for third place would be all tied up.

194
00:28:49,000 --> 00:29:03,000
The crowd is settling back in anticipation of this, the final game as Miu Ceil continues his way around the outfield on the track with the three convertibles moving toward the exit down to our left.

195
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:11,000
The Redbirds occupying the third base dugout and of course the Cincinnati Reds occupying the first base dugout.

196
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Looking at the team records as far as this season's concerned, Bob Gibson in particular, the individuals, Gibson has a 1-3 record against the Reds this year.

197
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Overall he has had not too much success, winning some six times and losing eight games to Cincinnati.

198
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:38,000
And this season he has been in four games starting four times and in some 25 innings he has allowed 15 earned runs.

199
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:45,000
On the other hand Jim Maloney whose record is a very fine 23 victories and seven setbacks.

200
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Maloney this year has won one game and dropped none to the Cardinals. His overall lifetime record, one victory and one setback.

201
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:00,000
And this season against the Cardinals, Maloney who continues to warm up in the right field both then.

202
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:08,000
Maloney has been in two games, he's started both games and in 16 innings he has only allowed four earned runs.

203
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:16,000
He's been rough on the Redbirds and the Redbirds have had trouble with the Cincinnati ball club all year long.

204
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Stan Miu Ceil has now gone to the 400 foot mark in left center field and the convertible as they move toward the Leachard fans in that area.

205
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:40,000
And again to reiterate in the second automobile, Lil Miu Ceil Stan's wife with their daughter Janet and Jeannie.

206
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:48,000
And in the final car with the plaque it's Jerry, young lady the 18 year old who is in the Vail Prophet ball here in St. Louis.

207
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:56,000
She is with her brother Dick who recently was married and as you know is the proud father of a brand new baby boy.

208
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:02,000
And that too brings back memories of Stan the man, first time he came to bat as a grandfather.

209
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:09,000
The first pitch he hit for a home run and the crowd reacting to that particular blow as we think back on that day.

210
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:18,000
It was an amazing thing to see grown men standing and giving gramps as the players affectionately called Stan at that time.

211
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Not only a well deserved round of applause for the home run but to see grown men and women in the stands literally crying,

212
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:33,000
unashamed with emotion that this man seems to transpose to all who come in contact with him.

213
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:45,000
One of the unusual people that you'll ever meet and he's having a whale of a time out of the left field line now saying goodbye to some of the truly fine fans in St. Louis history out in that area.

214
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:55,000
So the trip is almost completed for Stan. They'll come down to the box to our left near the third base dugout and walk through.

215
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:03,000
He'll assist his family up to the Bush box and his family of course will have the seat of honor.

216
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:13,000
30,000 some fans on hand with weather ideal a bit nippy perhaps but nonetheless very pleasant here in St. Louis for the final game of the 63 season.

217
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:20,000
And reporters and photographers from all over the country out of the country as well.

218
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:28,000
And as I sit here in the booth with a man who has brought baseball to the Cardinal fans for the past 19 years.

219
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:35,000
I know that there must be so many thoughts in the mind of the voice of the Cardinals Harry Carrey.

220
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:42,000
That's a tremendous sight isn't it Jerry. It's never have you seen more genuine adulation on the part of people for a single man.

221
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,000
I don't believe in the history of sports for that matter.

222
00:32:46,000 --> 00:33:00,000
Anything else to some 32 or 33,000 people whatever they've been able to get in here paying homage to a man who for 22 years has given them the finest in baseball.

223
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:13,000
And now a great career with this ball game will end. Stan holding up pretty well under it all visibly shaken with emotion of course as who wouldn't be.

224
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:23,000
You know the portrait that was given to him was the replica of the statue which will be placed in the new stadium down on the waterfront.

225
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:29,000
It shows the boy and Musial in other words the boy and the man is the title of it.

226
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:39,000
And up to is being prominently displayed now as the convertibles finally come to rest in front of the Cardinal dugout.

227
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:46,000
The preliminaries the occasion that's a groan that's groaned this big crowd are just about to be concluded.

228
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:53,000
The ball game itself is almost an anticlimax with the exception of Musial's turn it back.

229
00:33:53,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Oh if he can hit one out of here what a remarkable achievement it will be and what a thrill not only for he personally before this big crowd.

230
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Stan now helps his wife out of the car in which she was directly behind him his boy Dick out of the third automobile.

231
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Now the field will be cleared and the final game of the season will be played.

232
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:35,000
You know as you look down at Musial and as memory works you find yourself thinking of so many thrills it's almost impossible to isolate any one of them.

233
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:52,000
Just a tremendously rich career one that everybody in America might be proud of because this is a piece of Americana that reflects true democracy at work I believe.

234
00:34:52,000 --> 00:35:15,000
This boy who now is a man did it all with the speed of his legs the power of his arms and hands and the equability of temperament which made him universally loved.

235
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:24,000
You know you go over his record to Harry and you see the many records that he holds which we talked about on our pregame show and I'm sure you talked about with Bing Devine on yours.

236
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:39,000
You can take these records and you can forget them just knowing the man as an individual regardless of his profession would make anyone much more richer because this man possesses the qualities that I guess all of us wish that we had.

237
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:56,000
A fellow who has humility great courage loyalty a fellow that you cannot say enough about and you always hear that sometimes an individual who everyone says is a great guy can't be that great.

238
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:07,000
But the ballplayers the writers those of us here that are broadcasters we know that this man is truly one of the most remarkable people that I guess you'll ever want to meet.

239
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:15,000
And it's been a tremendous thrill for me as I'm sure you feel the same way just to have been associated with it.

240
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:23,000
He's closing out a great career here and all of us wish of course that he go four for four and drive three or four out of the ballpark.

241
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:29,000
How he has put up with the strain of the past few weeks is truly amazing.

242
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:50,000
The players themselves have said so often in the last few weeks under the normal strain of being around the press any other man would have cracked and then the added burden of coming down the line prior to that Dodger series with the writers every moment of the time while he was in the ballpark.

243
00:36:50,000 --> 00:37:01,000
The phone at home ringing constantly no place to rest no place to forget the strain of not only retiring but also being into a possible pennant drive and a World Series.

244
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:18,000
And yet you know Harry as you think of that Dodger series all he did was hit close to 400 and he got a couple of key hits and you truly have to admire him not only as a man for his patience but also as a highly skilled competitor in the closing moments of a tremendous career.

245
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Actually he was the one man of the ballclub that rose to the challenge of the Dodger series.

246
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,000
He had four out of ten as I recall.

247
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:31,000
You remember he hit the home run against Pogras that tied up the ballgame one to one in the seventh inning of the first game the final first game.

248
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,000
Then he got the first hit off Kofax.

249
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:46,000
So even nearing the end of the line he was the one man that could respond to the challenge of a series that was destined to decide the National League Cup.

250
00:37:46,000 --> 00:38:09,000
Standing Ovation.

251
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:24,000
Here's a gesture Harry that will long be remembered standing throwing baseballs into the crowd as he asks for his teammates to throw him some balls so he can respond and toss a few to the fans in the crowd.

252
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:44,000
And now he's loosening up and what a great career he's had and as you look down and see Stash as he is affectionately known by those who travel with him and who have been privileged to see him throughout some of the great years you'd think that here's a young man Tim McCarver number 15 warming up with a great veteran.

253
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:56,000
And what a tribute it must be a great thrill for McCarver to be on this ballclub and to just have the opportunity to loosen up with him on his final day.

254
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,000
I'm sure the kid will never forget it.

255
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,000
Hutchinson is out at home plate now going over the lineup with manager Johnny Keefe.

256
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:10,000
Why don't we get a chance let's give you the umpire alignment as far as this afternoon's game is concerned.

257
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:30,000
It'll be out on a working the plate anyone by the veteran umpire who conceivably could call it quits here today and retire after a splendid career as an umpire talking to him on the pregame show he said I can't tell you if I'm going to retire or not after today but it's conceivably possible.

258
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:52,000
Working at first base it'll be Lee wire wires the taller of the other three umpires. He'll be at first base Eddie Vargo will handle the duties back of second base and running out the umpire alignment for this game it'll be Bill Williams to work the plate the other night and did such a fine job.

259
00:39:52,000 --> 00:40:02,000
So it's Barlich, Wyre, Vargo and Williams.

260
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Before the redbirds take the field.

261
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Let's pause for station identification. This is the Cardinals baseball network.

262
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:26,000
The C-M-F-M St. Louis like to see the sights when you travel next trip to Chicago. Enjoy the wide open view from the relaxing quiet of a Wabash dome liner. Ride the Wabash Bluebird or Banner Blue to the heart of Chicago.

263
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:40,000
Stan Musial leads his teammates out into the field for the final time in the career.

264
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:56,000
The first stadium says Stan Musial for president. Well we have a chance let's run down the defensive alignment for the Redbirds. At first base it will be Bill White who's had an outstanding year perhaps his greatest.

265
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:10,000
And at second base a look at Julian Javier. The shortstop will be Dick Groh. Groh at shortstop and around at third base the captain of the Cardinals Ken Boyle.

266
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:24,000
In the outfield it's Stan Musial in left field and in center field the fine outfielder Kirk Flood just threw his glove in the air after a wild throw from the right fielder Charlie James.

267
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:34,000
So James is in right field. Back of the plate it will be the young catcher Tim McCarver loosening up right now off the right arm of Bob Gibson who will start for the Cardinals.

268
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:41,000
And the leadoff man will be Pete Rose the switch hitting second base for the Cincinnati Reds. And here to bring you the action Pete Rose.

269
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:45,000
In the final game of the season here's the voice of the Cardinals once again Harry Carey.

270
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:54,000
Thank you very much Jerry. Hello again everybody. Here we go with Pete Rose the switch hitter hitting 269. This boy rookie of the year just 21 years old.

271
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Native son of Cincinnati a real hustler Charlie Hussle they call him. Gibson misses the outside corner with a curveball.

272
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Final game of the season and what a setting. The atmosphere is that of a World Series.

273
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Bouncing ball up the middle. So Rose singles sharply to center.

274
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:22,000
He's been doing that throughout the series. He had three hits yesterday you know.

275
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:29,000
A second batter for Cincinnati number 17. There is Tommy Harper who is actually more highly talented at the beginning of the year than Rose.

276
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:33,000
Rose wasn't even on the Cincinnati roster.

277
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:40,000
Harper hitting 264 with 10 home runs 37 runs batted in.

278
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,000
Here's the stretch now the pitch. He's shot enough as if to bunk.

279
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,000
Pitchers high and outside. Final game of the year.

280
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:56,000
The Cardinals will finish second this season. The Reds who may finish as high as tied for third.

281
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:00,000
They're in a battle for the first division.

282
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,000
Low and outside.

283
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Dick Groat goes into the small game trailing Tommy Davis by five points.

284
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:16,000
Groat is hitting 321 Davis 326. So it looks as if Tommy Davis will win the batting championship.

285
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:20,000
It's almost a cinch because it's not likely that Davis will play.

286
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:27,000
There's the strike off. Long enough today to lose many points even should he go Hitlers.

287
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Because I'm doubting the Dodgers will rest some of the regulars.

288
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:36,000
World Series starting Wednesday in New York.

289
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,000
Two balls on the strikes. Matt throw the first the runner back.

290
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:46,000
Tommy Harper.

291
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:51,000
Little pitch to him. A little outside again he's shot enough as if to bunk.

292
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:55,000
So this will be the second year in a row that Tommy Davis will leave the league and hit him.

293
00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:01,000
He led with 346 a year ago. He's hitting 326 this year.

294
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:05,000
So that's a pretty good accomplishment for a boy only 24.

295
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:14,000
Three balls on the strike. Pete Rowe is very fast.

296
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:18,000
The pop foul will be out of play. There's a souvenir.

297
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:23,000
The souvenirs mean something today.

298
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:27,000
Stan Musial's last game.

299
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:31,000
Three balls, two strikes.

300
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:37,000
Never before I guess has such homage been paid to a sports star.

301
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,000
There goes Rose. Pitch fouled. Nobody can reach it.

302
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,000
Another souvenir. That a boy keep fouling under the stands.

303
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:54,000
I'd like to see every wonderful fan get one today.

304
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:58,000
Tommy Harper up there running at first base. Nobody out.

305
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:03,000
Bob Gibson not throwing as hard as we've seen him throw.

306
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,000
It's cool down there today. There goes the runner.

307
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:12,000
Struck him out. The throw. Double play.

308
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:17,000
From McCarver to Grohl the perfect pass and Rose was cut down.

309
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:22,000
So Harper strikes out and Rose is thrown out. McCarver to Grohl.

310
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:28,000
That's two out and here's Beta Pinsen.

311
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:32,000
Getting 314-22, Homer's 106 runs about at it.

312
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:37,000
Two out and nobody on dates. The ball again on the first.

313
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:41,000
A curve ball outside. Beta Pinsen.

314
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,000
One of the outfield stars of baseball.

315
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:47,000
Born and raised with Kurt Flood.

316
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:51,000
Out there in Oakland. Fast ball outside.

317
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,000
Two balls and no strike.

318
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:58,000
Both the same age. Both were originally signed by the Cincinnati Reds.

319
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:03,000
We're happy that Flood is now a Cardinal.

320
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:07,000
Bob Gibson. Say I might tell you. A pitch to Pinsen.

321
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:15,000
A bouncing ball. White's got it. Gibson covers. He's out at the nice ball.

322
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:19,000
One hit. No runs, no errors. And nobody left.

323
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:25,000
He's going to the bottom of the first. No stroke.

324
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,000
Enjoy old world smoothness.

325
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,000
New world lightness.

326
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,000
Only Bush Bavarian brings you the best of two worlds in one great beer.

327
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:45,000
Enjoy smooth, light Bush Bavarian today.

328
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:53,000
Best of two worlds in one great beer.

329
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:58,000
Hello again everybody. This is Harry Carey with Big News for beer drinkers in the St. Louis area.

330
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:03,000
My favorite beer, Bush Bavarian, is now available in no deposit, no return bottles.

331
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Yes sir, now you can enjoy Bush Bavarian in handy disposable bottles.

332
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,000
Perfect for picnics, barbecues, and around the house too.

333
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:15,000
Enjoy bottle beer pleasure with a convenient disposable feature of cans.

334
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:20,000
Stores near you are now featuring Bush Bavarian in no deposit, no return bottles.

335
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:26,000
Say and I'll bet you like the bright new foil label.

336
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:32,000
I don't know what the odds would be against Musial ending a whole run today, but the wind is blowing right.

337
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:36,000
Strongly towards the pavilion roof.

338
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,000
Boy that's a thing we got to...

339
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,000
Pull for today because this crowd would really be thrilled.

340
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,000
Leading off on the Cardinals, number 21.

341
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:48,000
That's Coleman at first, Rose at second, Cardenas at short.

342
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:55,000
Third base Casco and here's Kirk Flood to lead off. Jim Maloney to pitcher.

343
00:47:55,000 --> 00:48:10,000
Flood hitting 303. Maloney a heart throwing right-hander. Fastball low. Maloney is 123 and lost 7.

344
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,000
One ball, no stride.

345
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,000
Dick Grout will be next.

346
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:29,000
Foul out of Flood. Flood was trying to hit that ball in the right field.

347
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:33,000
One ball, one strike.

348
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:39,000
How about those Missouri University football Tigers, huh?

349
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:44,000
What a game and what an upset. Here's the 1-1 pitch. Foul back.

350
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:49,000
Two strikes and a ball.

351
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:58,000
I guess there's only one other group for whom the cup brims over as completely today as it does for Stan Musial and his wonderful family.

352
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,000
That would have to be Coach Dan Devine and his Fighting Tigers.

353
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,000
Two strikes and a ball. Curveball high.

354
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:13,000
The count is even at 2-2. Kirk Flood up there.

355
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:19,000
Maloney's pitch. He struck him out. A fastball.

356
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:26,000
Here's Grout. Needing five points to have a chance at a batting title.

357
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:35,000
A fastback to facing Jim Maloney just about makes it an impossibility.

358
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:39,000
You don't get three out of four, four out of four against this fellow.

359
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:44,000
But you never know, do you?

360
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,000
What a year this guy's had.

361
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:56,000
Certainly a candidate for most valuable player.

362
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:00,000
Topped up. Short right. Rose out. Harper in.

363
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,000
And Rose makes the cap.

364
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,000
Almost got it.

365
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:14,000
Here's Musial.

366
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:24,000
Hal Baleck has been one of his great admirers as the umpire behind the play.

367
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:28,000
The breeze is blowing towards right.

368
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:32,000
Strike call. A fastball and a good one.

369
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,000
One strike and a ball.

370
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,000
Let's see what happens here. Stan's running over.

371
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,000
And tosses the ball to Warren Giles.

372
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:47,000
Gives it to Sid Keener. The first pitch to Musial in his final game will go into the Hall of Fame.

373
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:56,000
Sid Keener was handed the ball by National League president Warren Giles. That's Jim Toomey down there.

374
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:03,000
I think they want Stan to pose for a picture. I don't know. Let him hit one out of here first.

375
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:08,000
Can't concentrate on the ball at all. Or I'd like to see him at a homer.

376
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:16,000
Let's see. They want a picture of Warren Giles and Sid Keener giving the ball to Musial.

377
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Even Hollywood was never like this.

378
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:35,000
Now hit one up there, Stash. Come on. Then just circle the bases and go on home.

379
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:41,000
Oh, the breeze is blowing just right too. Just get hold of it. Meloni's pitch.

380
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:47,000
High pop foul. He didn't have a very good pop at that time. Spag too.

381
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,000
Two strikes and nothing.

382
00:51:49,000 --> 00:52:02,000
Ladies and gentlemen, at the ball and the ball game, the ball was given to Sid Keener to be used as a memento in the Hall of Fame.

383
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:09,000
Two strikes and no ball. The ball I won is the one that may land on the roof here any moment.

384
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:16,000
Strike three is called. Musial called out on strikes and it's one, two, three, nothing across.

385
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,000
At the end of one inning, no score.

386
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:25,000
Smart shoppers know there's one good way to make your dollar go further, and that's to buy at the right time.

387
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:30,000
Well, sir, now's the time to buy a big new 1963 Mercury at the lowest prices of the year.

388
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:35,000
The story is simple. The 64 Mercuries are pouring off the assembly line right now.

389
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:40,000
They'll be here in no time, and that means your Mercury dealer has to clear out his stock butt fast.

390
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:45,000
He's not going to sell those cars at a loss, but he's not going to worry about making a big profit on them either.

391
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,000
All he wants is a nice clean showroom ready for his new cars.

392
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:53,000
So here's your chance to make the deal of a lifetime on the Mercury of your dreams.

393
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:59,000
Big, powerful Monterey's, happy medium-sized Meteors, 50 value-packed Comets, even the Pike's Peak Champion, the Mercury Marauder.

394
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:04,000
And if you come in right now, you'll still find a good selection of body styles and colors.

395
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,000
Trade-ins bigger than ever. Financing's no problem at all.

396
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:14,000
So don't delay, don't miss the boat. See your nearby Mercury dealer now. He's got the hottest deals of the year for you.

397
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,000
The fourth batter for Cincinnati, number 20.

398
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:30,000
We're going to the second inning. Frank Robinson will lead it off to the Reds, hitting 263.

399
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:34,000
21 homers, 91 runs batted in.

400
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:41,000
It's hard to say that a man with 91 RBIs has had a bad year, but this fellow has had.

401
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:46,000
He's such a superstar that there's a strike-off.

402
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:50,000
He's only hit 263 this year.

403
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:55,000
One strike and no balls. Bob Gibson ready.

404
00:53:55,000 --> 00:54:00,000
Wildwood into the dirt. Tim McCarver, one hands the ball.

405
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:06,000
One ball and one strike.

406
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

407
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:17,000
There's a fly ball, a shot left. Musial coming in hard, Groat going out, and Groat makes the catch.

408
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:23,000
Robinson tough to Groat.

409
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:33,000
To give you an idea about Robinson, last year he hit 342 with 30 homers, 136 runs batted in.

410
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:38,000
Here's Gordon Coleman, the first baseman. One out and nobody on. Ball game of the second inning.

411
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,000
No score.

412
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:48,000
This is the finale in baseball. World Series starts Wednesday, the Dodgers and the Yankees.

413
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:54,000
Gordon Coleman with 14 homers this season.

414
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:59,000
Takes a letter pitch low for ball two. Two balls and no strike.

415
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:03,000
One out, nobody on. Ball game of the second inning.

416
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:13,000
Not a pitch. A good fastball to Camille. Two balls and a strike.

417
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:20,000
Some people left their heart in San Francisco. I left my voice in Little Rock.

418
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:29,000
Here's a pitch, high pop ball over near the stand. Ball you might have a play. He does.

419
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:37,000
So, Gordon Coleman fouls to Kenny Boyd. Two men are out. Here's Johnny Edwards.

420
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:45,000
Hitting 260, the catcher of the rest. 11 homers and 67 runs batted in.

421
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:55,000
Gibson gets that. Into the wind if he goes, the pitch is on the way.

422
00:55:55,000 --> 00:56:01,000
He missed a curve ball breaking in on him. One strike and all balls. Two out.

423
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:13,000
Left hand battle at it. Not a pitch on the way. Swings and he misses a fastball.

424
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:26,000
Two strikes and all balls. Two men are out. Here's the wind up on the pitch.

425
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:34,000
And strike three, called over the outside corner. Nothing across. We're going to the bottom of the second. No score.

426
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:40,000
What happens when you're up at bat, dug in at the plate and the pitcher brushes your back with a high tight one?

427
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:44,000
Do you dig right back in or do you back off and play it safe?

428
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:48,000
It's a tough spot to be in, one that separates the men from the boys.

429
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:52,000
In smoking, the cigarette that separates the men from the boys is Lucky Strike.

430
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:57,000
Smoking is a pleasure meant for adults. And Lucky Strike is blended for adult tastes.

431
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:03,000
LSMFT, Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. A rich, full-bodied taste.

432
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:07,000
If you're an adult smoker, get with it. Smoke Lucky Strike.

433
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:14,000
Lucky, separate the men from the boys. But not from the girls.

434
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:21,000
Greatest game that you can buy. LSMFT is fine.

435
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:27,000
Lucky, separate the men from the boys. But not from the girls.

436
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:38,000
Mister, how you like? Lucky Strike.

437
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,000
We're going to the bottom of the second and Kenny Boyer will lead it off.

438
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:46,000
Last year Boyer hit. 24 homers, drove in 98 runs, batted 291.

439
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:53,000
This year he's hit 24 homers, but driven in 111 runs and hit 282.

440
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:58,000
The year before he hit 24 homers. How consistent can you get?

441
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:03,000
He had a much higher batting average two years ago at 329.

442
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:09,000
Boyer coming up. Nobody on, nobody out. Jim Maloney.

443
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,000
Hard throwing right-hander, just 23 years old.

444
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:18,000
He's won 23 and lost 7 for a team that's been in the second division most of the year.

445
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:25,000
Pitch to Boyer. He pulled it back for a strike.

446
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:35,000
Attaboy, another souvenir. They'll have to hit about 33,000 into the stands to satisfy the fans today.

447
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:40,000
One strike, no ball. Jim Maloney in the wind up the pitch.

448
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:46,000
Curving in the dirt, that evens it up. A ball and a strike.

449
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:52,000
Hope you're enjoying the game, wherever you are.

450
00:58:52,000 --> 00:59:02,000
Muceel's final game.

451
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:08,000
They outfield Bunches Boyer towards center and deep.

452
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:18,000
A high-pump foul back. That's a souvenir for somebody in the press box.

453
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:23,000
This for you, Eddie?

454
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:27,000
Autographing an Andy Fray in half.

455
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:31,000
Some of it's for Eddie Michigan. It's for Bob King.

456
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:38,000
There's the pitch. Boyer foul tipped it back. Two strikes and a ball.

457
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:47,000
Boy, I want to grab a few things in my time, but first thing I can recall is an Usher's cap.

458
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:56,000
Charlie Jones, a field announcer, carrying the booze because now he's going to get handed to somebody.

459
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:04,000
He just tossed it into a fan. They booed Charlie because he recovered the foul ball. They thought he was going to keep it, but he tossed it into the stand.

460
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:08,000
Two balls, two strikes.

461
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,000
Here's a pitch.

462
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,000
Foul back.

463
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:19,000
Governor Dalton talking to

464
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:27,000
Mr. Bush's wife, Trudy, down there. I bet he enjoys that more than talking to those legislators up in Jefferson City.

465
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:31,000
Two balls, two strikes.

466
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:36,000
Foul to back. Another souvenir. Back out onto the field.

467
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:39,000
Two balls, two strikes.

468
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:44,000
Bobby Baker, the bat boy, recovers it. Put it in your pocket, Bob.

469
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:54,000
Now Borlick looks it over. Puts it in his own pocket.

470
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:59,000
Kenny Boyer up there hitting 282.

471
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:04,000
Now the pitch on the way. He struck him out.

472
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:08,000
Boyer goes down swinging. Three strikeouts for Maloney.

473
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:13,000
I tell you boys, when you talk about a high hard one, you're talking about Maloney.

474
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:17,000
A great fastball.

475
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:29,000
So with one away, here's Bill White hitting 303. 27 home runs and 109 runs about it.

476
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:33,000
Left hand hitter, Maloney's pitch.

477
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:44,000
Fastball in there, a strike. Maloney comes directly overhand with a good, live, high riding fastball.

478
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:47,000
Now wind up, the pitch on the way.

479
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:52,000
High. That evens it up with a ball and a strike.

480
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:57,000
Well, it's been an exciting year, hasn't it?

481
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:07,000
Too bad we couldn't have won at all, but the boys certainly made a race out of it.

482
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:12,000
White held up in time and the curveball went low into the dirt.

483
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,000
Two balls and a strike. One out.

484
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:19,000
Bottom half of the second inning. It's a cool day.

485
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:24,000
Just about time to turn the stage over to football.

486
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:27,000
Two balls and a strike. The pitch on the way.

487
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:31,000
He swings later to fastball.

488
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:34,000
So that evens it up a two and two.

489
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:43,000
Out of the four men who will face Maloney, three of them are fans.

490
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,000
Two balls, two strikes.

491
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,000
The pitch to Bill White.

492
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:52,000
He was completely fooled on a change up but fouled it off.

493
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:56,000
Two balls, two strikes.

494
01:02:56,000 --> 01:03:01,000
Ford Frick, Warren Giles, Joe Cronin.

495
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:07,000
Mayor Ray Tucker, Governor Dalton, Sid Keener, allies Kaufman, Mrs. Bush all sitting down in a Cuyahoga box.

496
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:12,000
Here's the pitch. Fouled it back.

497
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:17,000
Two balls, two strikes.

498
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,000
We're in the bottom half of the second inning.

499
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:27,000
You know they ought to change the rules of baseball today and let Muceo come up every inning.

500
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:32,000
Two hundred and fifty-four strikeouts this year for Maloney.

501
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:36,000
He's got three more. That makes it two fifty-seven.

502
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,000
High fastball outside ball three.

503
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:43,000
Three balls, two strikes, one out, nobody on.

504
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:46,000
Nothing, nothing.

505
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:49,000
Everybody waiting for Stan to come up again.

506
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,000
Three-two pitch.

507
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:55,000
He fouled it back. He had a cut of the fastball at that time but didn't connect.

508
01:03:55,000 --> 01:04:03,000
Well, I tell you, when you see a fellow like Maloney fire, you can appreciate the reflex of a major league hitter.

509
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:12,000
To be able to swing a thirty-four or thirty-five ounce bat in time to hit a ball traveling that fast is something.

510
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,000
Fouled back.

511
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,000
He's moving here for somebody. Nice catch.

512
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:24,000
Tito Parriere, an electrician here, made the catch.

513
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:29,000
Hey, maybe I'll get one with enough today.

514
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:32,000
Get ready here.

515
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:37,000
Three balls, two strikes.

516
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,000
He fouled it.

517
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:40,000
Oh, he's having some cuts.

518
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:43,000
White is really cutting loose.

519
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:47,000
Fastball hitter. Maloney's a fastball pitcher.

520
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:53,000
And the count is three and two.

521
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:58,000
One man out.

522
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:02,000
There's a windup now, the pitch on the way.

523
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,000
Swung around late. Fouled it.

524
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:06,000
Casco chasing at no play.

525
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:13,000
Hey, put it to serve an air. Somebody else is going to get it.

526
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:26,000
I am sure grateful that they publicized the news about people running on the field, how they're going to be prosecuted, because I imagine that they would have really had a circus out here.

527
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:28,000
Three-two pitch.

528
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,000
Broken bat, pop-flop.

529
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,000
Casco's there. Makes the catch.

530
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:36,000
White again getting around late. Fouled to Casco.

531
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:39,000
That's two out. Five-minute-a-row retired by Maloney.

532
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:42,000
Here's Charlie James hitting 272.

533
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,000
Ten homers and 43 runs batted in.

534
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,000
Two men out on the bottom of the second.

535
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:50,000
Number 43, right fielder, Charlie James.

536
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:56,000
Charlie James up there.

537
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,000
Maloney's pitch.

538
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:02,000
He started to swing and he held up for ball went outside.

539
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:05,000
One ball, no strikes. Two men out. Nobody on base.

540
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,000
Bottom of the second, no score.

541
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:11,000
Stan Musial's farewell again.

542
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:16,000
One ball, no strikes.

543
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,000
Now the windup on the pitch.

544
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:21,000
Pop-foul back.

545
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,000
Almost into the press bar.

546
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,000
Then out again, down to the lower deck.

547
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:30,000
They're scrambling for it.

548
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:32,000
One ball, one strike.

549
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:38,000
Charlie James up there.

550
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:44,000
Boy, that wind blowing perfectly for a left-handed batter.

551
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:47,000
Swung to the fastball and fouled it back.

552
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:50,000
The target was on over the play.

553
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:57,000
All over the roof, the field, the dugouts.

554
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:01,000
They're not photographers, they're cameras.

555
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,000
Two strikes and a ball.

556
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:08,000
World Series atmosphere here today.

557
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,000
Curveball inside.

558
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,000
Two balls, two strikes on Charlie James.

559
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:15,000
Two men are out, nobody on base.

560
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:18,000
Cardinals haven't had a baserunner yet.

561
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,000
Maloney winds and here's the pitch.

562
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:24,000
He struck him out of beauty at curveball.

563
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:27,000
There's four strikeouts and two innings for Maloney.

564
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,000
And this kid might just be the best pitcher in baseball these days.

565
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:33,000
The right-handed compliment of the left-handed copier.

566
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:38,000
From up and across and at the end of two, no score.

567
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:42,000
One of the greatest baseball records of all time was 14 years in the making.

568
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:47,000
It began back in 1925 when a 41-year-old slugger broke into the New York lineup.

569
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:52,000
The youngster hit a turn and simps the job like no other baseball job has ever been since.

570
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:58,000
Because for the next 14 seasons, this baseball hall of famer didn't miss a single game.

571
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:04,000
It was Lou Gehrig, of course, the immortal iron horse of baseball, who played 2,130 consecutive games.

572
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:08,000
A great performance like that really separates the men from the boys.

573
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:11,000
And you know there's a cigarette that separates the men from the boys too.

574
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:13,000
Lucky Strike.

575
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:15,000
Smoking is a pleasure meant for adults.

576
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:18,000
Lucky Strikes, fine tobacco, are blended for adult tastes.

577
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:22,000
So if you're an adult smoker, get all the taste you can ask for.

578
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:25,000
Ask for Lucky Strikes.

579
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:32,000
Lucky separates the men from the boys, but not from the girls.

580
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:36,000
Mr. Matthew Lyons.

581
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,000
Lucky Strikes.

582
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:42,000
We'll be a quarter to that point.

583
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:48,000
KMXA MFM St. Louis. Camera side, the safe bug killer kills all flying and crawling insects instantly.

584
01:08:48,000 --> 01:09:02,000
Safe around children, pets, and food. Get camera side, the safe bug killer.

585
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:07,000
This is Harry Carey with Jerry Gross and Roy May here at beautiful Bush Stadium.

586
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:10,000
Cardenas the hitter. Can't even up the ball in a strike.

587
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:15,000
Hitting 233, here's the pitch. He had a cut and he missed it.

588
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:18,000
Cardenas with seven homers, 40 RBI.

589
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:24,000
We're in the third, there's only been one hit in the ball game, a single by Rose to start off.

590
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:28,000
A bouncing ball to deep short, Groot backhands a long throw.

591
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:30,000
They get him.

592
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:33,000
Groot throws out Cardenas, one away.

593
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:37,000
That'll bring up Eddie Casco, the third baseman, hitting 247.

594
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:53,000
The hit batter for Cincinnati, number 10, the baseball, Eddie Casco.

595
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:56,000
Casco swings at the first pitch and pops up.

596
01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:01,000
Boy, you're getting under it. The wind carries it near the mound, drops it.

597
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,000
And Casco lines up at second base.

598
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:07,000
You can see he was having trouble on that ball, the wind grabbed it.

599
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:10,000
An air on Boyer.

600
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,000
Brings up the pitcher, Jim Maloney.

601
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:17,000
It was a pretty good-hitting pitcher, by the way.

602
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:22,000
A wind-blown air for Kenny Boyer.

603
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:25,000
On a pop fly.

604
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:29,000
So, a man's in scoring position. Maloney up there.

605
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:34,000
Shooting for his 24th.

606
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:38,000
Considering that Cincinnati has been in the second division practically all year

607
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:45,000
and may yet finish there at some accomplishment.

608
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,000
Maloney hits a high pop ball.

609
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:49,000
Boyer chasing it.

610
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:52,000
Can't really throw, nice try, but he couldn't quite reach it.

611
01:10:52,000 --> 01:11:00,000
He banged into the top cylinder down there.

612
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:04,000
One strike and over.

613
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,000
A runner at second base, one out.

614
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:11,000
Ball game in the third.

615
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:21,000
No scores yet.

616
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:25,000
The fast ball pops away from the carver, but the runner can't advance.

617
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,000
Jim Maloney bats left-handed.

618
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,000
Switch-hitter, in fact.

619
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:34,000
Pretty good-hitter.

620
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:39,000
Lead off second base by Eddie Casco.

621
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:42,000
Quite of a start at the inning by bouncing out.

622
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:45,000
A stretch pitch on the left.

623
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:46,000
A ground ball to Boyer.

624
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:51,000
Holds the runner at second. Throws to first in time.

625
01:11:51,000 --> 01:12:00,000
And that'll bring up Pete Rose with a runner in scoring position and two up.

626
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:06,000
The football cardinals lead the Steelers 10 to 6 at the end of three periods.

627
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,000
Baltimore, Green Bay, no score at the end of one.

628
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:13,000
The Bears over the Lions 35 to nothing at the half.

629
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:17,000
Cleveland 13 to Rams 3 at the end of three periods.

630
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,000
Hipster Rose slash foul.

631
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:24,000
Dallas and Washington tied 7-7 at the half.

632
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:28,000
The Giants lead the Eagles 30 to 7 at the end of three periods.

633
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:34,000
Got some football scores up to the minute that you might be interested in.

634
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:37,000
In baseball, Minnesota and New York rained out.

635
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:40,000
Cleveland and Kansas City later.

636
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:43,000
New York and five White Sox 2 in the fifth.

637
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:47,000
Detroit leads Baltimore 6 to 2 in the bottom of the sixth.

638
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:52,000
Rose swings a little looping top foul outside third.

639
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:56,000
Los Angeles and Boston rained out at the final game of the season.

640
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:59,000
Philadelphia and Los Angeles, they're just starting.

641
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:01,000
New York and Houston later.

642
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:05,000
Milwaukee leads the Cubs 1 to nothing in the bottom of the second.

643
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:09,000
Pittsburgh and San Francisco lead.

644
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:17,000
It's still a battle for third, for first division money from second place down.

645
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:24,000
The Giants at the moment are third, one game ahead of Cincinnati and Philadelphia who are tied.

646
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:27,000
So that could end up in a three-way tie.

647
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,000
Here's a pitch to Rose.

648
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:32,000
High pop foul out of play, another souvenir.

649
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:35,000
Sure seems to be more of them today.

650
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:49,000
Couldn't be happier for the fans, because this would be a great memento.

651
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:51,000
Here's a pitch to Rose.

652
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:53,000
The wind might carry that ball deep.

653
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:56,000
James is back near the fence and he makes the catch.

654
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:59,000
Rose flies deep to James.

655
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:01,000
So it is no hits, no runs, one air, one left.

656
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:05,000
We're going to the bottom of the third. No score.

657
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:10,000
If you've been dreaming of driving a great new car, now's the time to make your dreams come true.

658
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:16,000
You and your buy Mercury dealer is right in the middle of his big once a year, clean them all out, final clearance sale.

659
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:19,000
And believe you me, you'll save as you never saved before.

660
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:26,000
What's your heart's desire? A value-packed compact like the Comet or a big handsome luxury car like the Mercury Monterey?

661
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:32,000
Well, Sir, whatever car you want, whether you prefer a station wagon, sedan, or sports model, now's the time to make your move.

662
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:35,000
Those new 64 Mercuries are on the way. They'll be here any day.

663
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:38,000
And your Mercury dealer has to make room for them.

664
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:42,000
So while the 63s last, no reasonable offer will be refused.

665
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:44,000
You'll get a higher trading allowance on your old car.

666
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:46,000
You'll get fast, friendly financing.

667
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:49,000
You'll get immediate delivery on a great new car.

668
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:54,000
And if you want to save still more, there's a great selection of nearly new salesman's cars and demonstrators, too.

669
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:58,000
All at tremendous savings, all with a new car guarantee.

670
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:01,000
See your Mercury dealer right now.

671
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:12,000
We're going to the bottom of the third inning, no score in the ballgame.

672
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:18,000
Timmy McCarver, who certainly has done an outstanding job for the Cardinals.

673
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:24,000
Many think if Timmy had been catching from the beginning of the season, he perhaps would have won the pennant.

674
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:37,000
But now at age 21 established as a regular catcher, something to really look forward to in 1964 because this year's experience under his belt, he's bound to be even better.

675
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:41,000
The seventh batter for the Cardinals, number 15, catcher, Jim McCarver.

676
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:56,000
Our good friend Jack Pickens, who helped us out considerably with his playing yesterday, and who's a rabid Cardinal fan, but also University of Arkansas Razorback fan.

677
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,000
McCarver follows it back.

678
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:07,000
And with so many people from the state of Missouri down there for the game last night, and Jack having a million of friends in the state,

679
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:11,000
he was probably the most chagrin man in Little Rock.

680
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:14,000
One strike, no ball, the pitch, high.

681
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:18,000
They really thought the Razorbacks were going to run the Tigers off the field.

682
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:23,000
And Jack just phoned to say that they'd just changed the Razorback to a Tiger.

683
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:26,000
One ball, one strike.

684
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:28,000
Third ball outside.

685
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:31,000
Now I reckon South Team's a great one.

686
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:34,000
They were out fought last night.

687
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:37,000
Two balls and a strike.

688
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:42,000
McCarver waiting.

689
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:48,000
He had a cut, but he missed.

690
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:50,000
Two balls, two strikes.

691
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:53,000
Nobody on and nobody out, McCarver the batter.

692
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:55,000
Strong wind blowing.

693
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:59,000
Out towards right field.

694
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:02,000
Here's Maloney getting ready.

695
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:09,000
Signal given.

696
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:13,000
Final game of the season.

697
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:16,000
Now the line to the pitch.

698
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:24,000
I tell you, with it raining in New York and 115 degrees in Los Angeles, that ought to be a dandy World Series.

699
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:28,000
Two balls, two strikes.

700
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:31,000
Foul tipped into the stand.

701
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:36,000
Two balls, two strikes.

702
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:47,000
Jesse Bursch has just joined his wife Trudy down in the Cardinal box just to the right of the dugout along with Warren Giles and Fort Frick.

703
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:49,000
Two-two pitch.

704
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,000
He struck him out.

705
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:53,000
Boy, this Maloney is something else.

706
01:17:53,000 --> 01:18:02,000
That's his fifth strikeout, the 259th of the year.

707
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:07,000
The eighth batter for the Cardinals, number 25, second baseman Julian Javier.

708
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:17,000
Here's Javier, only probably thinking, why didn't they give me this day off and let me go on down to Santo Domingo rather than face this guy Maloney?

709
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:24,000
Boy, he is rugged on the right-handed batters and just as tough on the left-handed.

710
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:26,000
Here's the pitcher on the way down.

711
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,000
He swings and misses.

712
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:34,000
One strike and no ball.

713
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:37,000
One strike, no ball. One out.

714
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:40,000
Fighter balling Jim Maloney out there.

715
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:45,000
You know, he played shortstop for the Legion team that Dick Ellsworth pitched for.

716
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:52,000
Side-or-or, that's a dirty trick, Jim, on the last game of the season, to crossfire a man like that.

717
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:56,000
Hooley was bailing out and the pitch was inside.

718
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:58,000
One ball, one strike.

719
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:04,000
By crossfire, he steps over towards third base and then crosses his arm over.

720
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:06,000
One-one pitch.

721
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:08,000
That's a beauty.

722
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:10,000
A sharp breaking curve.

723
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,000
This guy's got everything.

724
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:18,000
Fast ball, curve ball, and a change.

725
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:21,000
Javier hitting 264.

726
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:23,000
Nine homers, 46 on RBI.

727
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:25,000
There's a pitch and he's struck him out.

728
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:27,000
Javier goes down swinging.

729
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:32,000
Strikeout number six in three innings.

730
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:35,000
Maloney hasn't allowed a base run out.

731
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:44,000
Side-court, number 45, pitcher Bob Gibson.

732
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:48,000
Bob Gibson, a good-hitting pitcher.

733
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:50,000
There's a curve ball over.

734
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:52,000
One ball, no strikes. Two out, nobody on.

735
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:55,000
Ball game in the third. No score.

736
01:19:55,000 --> 01:20:00,000
Mucile will come up next inning.

737
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,000
Now the windup on the pitch.

738
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:06,000
A fast ball outside.

739
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:14,000
Ball two and I believe it's the only time that Maloney's been behind ahead of him.

740
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:18,000
The New York football giants beat the Eagles 37 to 14.

741
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:19,000
Here's the pitch.

742
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:21,000
He swings and misses.

743
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:24,000
A fast ball. Two balls and a strike.

744
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:31,000
Two men are out.

745
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:33,000
Now the delivery. Here it is.

746
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:35,000
Outside. Ball three.

747
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:37,000
And it's three and one.

748
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:45,000
Jim Maloney, tall, rangy, with a loose, agile arm.

749
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:47,000
A 3-1 pitch and here it is.

750
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:51,000
He swings and misses. Strike two.

751
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:53,000
Full count of three and two.

752
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:55,000
Maloney's lost seven.

753
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:59,000
He's 123.

754
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:01,000
And time is called.

755
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:08,000
As Maloney's about to pitch, Chico Cardenas, the shot stop, started to chase a paper napkin.

756
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:15,000
And Chico was running after that napkin as if he thought a hot dog with mustard was in it.

757
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,000
Maloney picked up the paper.

758
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:22,000
Three balls, two strikes. Here's the pitch.

759
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:25,000
Luke fouled outside first base.

760
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:31,000
You notice he didn't have much of a cut at it. Nobody's getting much of a swing.

761
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:38,000
Well, I tell you, Gibson is considered fast, but Maloney is just something else.

762
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:42,000
The usher tosses that foul ball towards the screen.

763
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:44,000
Three-two-pitch.

764
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:47,000
He walked him so Gibson becomes the first base runner.

765
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:52,000
Here's Floyd with a runner at first and two out.

766
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:56,000
The Phillies didn't score on the first of Los Angeles.

767
01:21:56,000 --> 01:22:08,000
Boy, I was 118 on the field yesterday.

768
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:13,000
Didn't bother that University of Oklahoma football team any of them.

769
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:18,000
Now the pitch. Curveball outside. One ball and no strikes.

770
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:22,000
The Big Eight certainly did itself proud yesterday.

771
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:26,000
Oklahoma beat the nation's number one team, the Trojans.

772
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:29,000
One ball, no strikes. Pitch is low.

773
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:33,000
The Tigers beat the Southwest's number one team, Arkansas.

774
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:37,000
Kansas beat the East's number one team, Syracuse.

775
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:42,000
Nebraska beat one of the powers of the Big Ten, Minnesota.

776
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:44,000
Two balls, no strike.

777
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:47,000
There's a beauty. A good fastball.

778
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:53,000
Two balls and a strike.

779
01:22:53,000 --> 01:23:02,000
Maroney throwing Asperd-Tablet.

780
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:06,000
Now the stretch. The pitch. A bouncing ball to third.

781
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:09,000
Casco's got it. Over to first. In time.

782
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:12,000
Musial will be the second hitter up in the fourth.

783
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:16,000
So the inning is over with no hits, no runs, no errors in one left.

784
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:21,000
At the end of three innings, there's no score on the ball again.

785
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:24,000
The fans were at the end of another great baseball season,

786
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:27,000
and of course the end of another great summer.

787
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:30,000
I don't know how many more chances you'll have to get outdoors for barbecues or picnics

788
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:33,000
before the cold weather hits.

789
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:39,000
I know that you already are aware of what goes best with barbecues and outdoor fun or indoor fun.

790
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:42,000
Yes sir, premium brewed Bush Bavarian beer.

791
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:47,000
And the reason's very clear. Only Bush Bavarian gives you smoothness and lightness.

792
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:53,000
Yes sir, only Bush Bavarian is brewed with all the old world smoothness of Bavaria's fine beers.

793
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:56,000
The smooth refreshment you want in a beer.

794
01:23:56,000 --> 01:24:00,000
And you get a right and lively taste that goes perfectly with fun and entertainment.

795
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:04,000
Because Bush Bavarian is brewed with new world lightness right here in America,

796
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:06,000
to modern America's taste.

797
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:10,000
So pick up a case and write the neighbors in.

798
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:15,000
And enjoy the brisk fall weather with the beer that gives you both old world smoothness

799
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:19,000
and new world lightness. Bush Bavarian beer.

800
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:29,000
We go to the top of the fort. Tommy Harper leads it on.

801
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:35,000
And all the fans attending today's game were given a full color print of a photograph of Stan Musial.

802
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:38,000
Harper swings and misses a curve.

803
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:45,000
The lovely wives of the baseball personnel who make up the pinch hitters

804
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:48,000
handed them out today.

805
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:53,000
Additional copies of this print are available by the way by sending 75 cents in coin

806
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:57,000
to cover the cost of mailing and handling

807
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:01,000
to the St. Louis Cardinals' Bush Stadium, St. Louis 7, Missouri.

808
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:05,000
So if you want a copy of this full color print,

809
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:09,000
photograph of Stan Musial sends 75 cents in coin

810
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:12,000
to the St. Louis Cardinals' Bush Stadium, St. Louis 7.

811
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:15,000
Harper is caught out on strikes.

812
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:18,000
Bob Gibson rolling along himself.

813
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:22,000
He's the only one hitter left to the lead off man.

814
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:26,000
Here's Beta Prince. One out and nobody on. The ballgame of the fort.

815
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:29,000
No score. Final game of the year.

816
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:34,000
Oh well, where has this year gone?

817
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:36,000
Here's the pitch.

818
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:38,000
A high pop foul. They're chasing it.

819
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:43,000
Musial coming over. Can he reach it? Nope. In the stands.

820
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:46,000
One strike, Canova.

821
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:49,000
Stan will be the second hitter up in the fort.

822
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:54,000
Maybe a zero in on one of Maloney's fastballs.

823
01:25:54,000 --> 01:26:00,000
Give this crowd that one final thrill to remember him by.

824
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:04,000
One strike, Canova.

825
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:07,000
He started a swing trying to stop the pitchers in there.

826
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:10,000
Strike two. Two strikes and nothing.

827
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:15,000
Gibson now throwing harder than he did in the first inning.

828
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:18,000
Two strikes, no balls. The pitch.

829
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:22,000
Strike three, call. The beauty of curveball.

830
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:25,000
That for Gibson is his fourth strikeout.

831
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:27,000
The way this game is going,

832
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:33,000
we might have one of those 18 inning one to nothing affairs.

833
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:37,000
The Dodgers have taken a one to nothing lead at the end of one.

834
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:46,000
Boy, about ten days ago that was an important thing to relay to you.

835
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,000
The pinch to Robinson.

836
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:53,000
No, but now it's only important to the Cincinnati Reds players.

837
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:58,000
As well as the Giants, whose game will be starting shortly.

838
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:05,000
A let up is outside ball two to Frank Robinson who popped out his first time up.

839
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:11,000
Beautiful day. You can tell the weatherman is a Muceo fan too.

840
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:14,000
Two balls, no strikes.

841
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:16,000
A beauty of curveball.

842
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:21,000
Frank Robinson.

843
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:25,000
He jukes up on the bat about an inch from the end, which is unusual for a slugger.

844
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:30,000
He hits a high curve foul now into the stand.

845
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:37,000
Onto the roof. Bounces out onto Spring Avenue, I believe.

846
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:43,000
The photographers chase those foul balls as if they were on the ground.

847
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:48,000
Two balls, two strikes.

848
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:52,000
Gibson ready. The pitch to Robinson.

849
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:55,000
Fastball low and away, ball through.

850
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:58,000
Bob Gibson, the Cardinal leading pitcher for the season with 18 victories.

851
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:05,000
Trying for number 19.

852
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:10,000
A full count on Frank Robinson. Two men are out.

853
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:12,000
But wind up by Gibson, the pitch.

854
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:18,000
Melby stops now, called Stein. Looks for another sign.

855
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:24,000
Full count of three and two.

856
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:29,000
Now the pitch. Strike! Got him. A curveball.

857
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:32,000
And Gibson struck out the side.

858
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:34,000
And so it is.

859
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:38,000
A duel between Gibson and Maloney continues and we go to the bottom of the fourth.

860
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:41,000
Cincinnati, nothing to say about the rate.

861
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:49,000
The Battle Back. Enjoy the best of two worlds in one great beer.

862
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:55,000
Bush Bavarian. With all the old world snootness of Bavaria's fine beer.

863
01:28:55,000 --> 01:29:01,000
And as refreshing as Bavaria itself.

864
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:05,000
Brewed here in America. Brewed light and lively.

865
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:09,000
Fits perfectly with America's own relaxed way of living.

866
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:23,000
Bush Bavarian brings you the best of two worlds in one great beer.

867
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:28,000
Enjoy new world lightness.

868
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:31,000
Old world smoothness.

869
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:44,000
The best of two worlds in one great beer. Bush Bavarian.

870
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:49,000
We go to the bottom of the fourth. The girl that leads it off, Stan Ussilby, next.

871
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:58,000
Maloney hasn't allowed a hit. We're in the bottom of the fourth.

872
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:04,000
Stephen Browns beat the Los Angeles Rams 20 to 7.

873
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:07,000
20 to 6 make it. Here's the pitch to Grogg.

874
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:10,000
He takes a fastball and there's a strike is called.

875
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:13,000
Boy, this Maloney really fires that palota.

876
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:17,000
One strike and over.

877
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:20,000
Now the signal given. Here's the pitch.

878
01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:25,000
And it's a high fastball that evens it up.

879
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:29,000
One ball, one strike.

880
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:31,000
Grogg popped up his first time.

881
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:33,000
The delivery by Maloney.

882
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:35,000
Just barely missed outside.

883
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:38,000
And the count, two balls and a strike.

884
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:40,000
No funny on, nobody out.

885
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:43,000
Bottom of the fourth, no score.

886
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:48,000
Hope you're enjoying the ball game wherever you are.

887
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:51,000
Two balls and a strike.

888
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:54,000
The pitch is on the way.

889
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:57,000
A high pop foul back and out of play.

890
01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:59,000
And it's even up a 2-2.

891
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:05,000
Gibson has fanned five in four innings. Maloney has struck out six in three.

892
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:08,000
With Grogg leading off the fourth.

893
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:10,000
Two balls, two strikes.

894
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:13,000
Out of the way. Jim Maloney gets set.

895
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:15,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

896
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:17,000
Swung on, a fly ball in the left center.

897
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:20,000
Frank Robinson going all the way. Makes the catch.

898
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:22,000
The wind held that ball up.

899
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:25,000
Grogg fly to Robinson.

900
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:33,000
Here's Muehseel now.

901
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,000
Oh, hit one on the rope, stash.

902
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:41,000
And then just circle the bases in.

903
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:48,000
And the most illustrious career in baseball history.

904
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:53,000
And the ball is outside. Boy, this Maloney is not letting up any, I'll tell you.

905
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:56,000
One ball, no strikes.

906
01:31:56,000 --> 01:32:00,000
One man out, nobody on base. Here's the pitch on the way.

907
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:02,000
Slow curve is a beauty.

908
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:04,000
Oh, he really changed up.

909
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:07,000
And the count is even up on a ball and a strike.

910
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:10,000
One out, ball game in the fourth.

911
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:14,000
Maloney getting ready, the pitch is on the way.

912
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:18,000
He's got the middle row to his right.

913
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:21,000
Muehseel gets the first hole of the game.

914
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:23,000
Ascended to center.

915
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:26,000
And the ball gives him a standing ovation again.

916
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:28,000
Wow, there's the hit.

917
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:31,000
They went for baseball again.

918
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:33,000
That might be the final hit. They don't know.

919
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:37,000
They want to be protected for any eventuality.

920
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:50,000
And now on the stand, he gives it to Coach Joe Schultz.

921
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:56,000
Well, if anybody ever thought for a moment that there isn't emotion in baseball,

922
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:59,000
they certainly have learned differently.

923
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:01,000
Here's Boyer and he taps it foul.

924
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:05,000
The ball bounces back and hits him on the side of the head and rolls back.

925
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:08,000
Muehseel returns to first base.

926
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:10,000
So it'll be no no-hitter pitch by Maloney.

927
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:13,000
Stan Muehseel got the first hit.

928
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:15,000
A single to center.

929
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:18,000
One out.

930
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:21,000
Ball game in the fourth.

931
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:28,000
Kenny Boyer up there.

932
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:34,000
Crowd hungry for a rally.

933
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:36,000
He had a cut, but he missed it.

934
01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:38,000
Two strikes and nothing.

935
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:45,000
We're in the bottom of the fourth. No score.

936
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:51,000
Muehseel, playing it safe in first base, will go away.

937
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:53,000
Now Maloney's fifth.

938
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:54,000
High and inside.

939
01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:57,000
Two strikes and a ball.

940
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:08,000
One gone. Four pinning.

941
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:12,000
On behalf of our sponsors,

942
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:13,000
Boyer.

943
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:15,000
Now Maloney's pitch.

944
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:17,000
High and inside.

945
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:20,000
Two strikes and a ball.

946
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:21,000
One gone.

947
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:31,000
Four pinning.

948
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:34,000
On behalf of our sponsors,

949
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:36,000
certainly hope you're enjoying the broadcast.

950
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:39,000
Here's the pitch, low and outside.

951
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:47,000
And Amon's on up with two and two.

952
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:49,000
Muehseel, the runner at first.

953
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:51,000
One out.

954
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:54,000
Now the signal given.

955
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:59,000
Tossed to first, the runner back.

956
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:03,000
Now he gets a kick out of Maloney thinking Muehseel might steal.

957
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:04,000
There's the pitch.

958
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:08,000
Bounces away, wild pitch. He's going to go to second.

959
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:13,000
Muehseel is the first man in this ball game

960
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:18,000
for the Cardinals to reach base.

961
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:19,000
Prefer to reach second base.

962
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:21,000
One man for the Reds got to second base.

963
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:23,000
On an air.

964
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:24,000
It's a wild pitch.

965
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:36,000
Boyer up there now on the count of three and two.

966
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:38,000
Now the signal given.

967
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:41,000
Three balls, two strikes.

968
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:42,000
The pitch to Boyer.

969
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:45,000
He's stuck in on the ball, gets away from the catcher.

970
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:48,000
There goes Boyer to first base, a throw.

971
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:50,000
He's out on a close play.

972
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:53,000
Edwards first left Muehseel.

973
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:55,000
Makes sure he held second.

974
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:58,000
And then threw to first in time to get Boyer.

975
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:02,000
As the third strike had gotten away but he threw him out.

976
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:05,000
That's strikeout number seven for Maloney.

977
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:11,000
So Boyer strikes out but has to be thrown out.

978
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:13,000
So here's Bill White who found out his first time.

979
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:15,000
The pitch.

980
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:19,000
High almost got away from Johnny Edwards.

981
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:20,000
Maloney's in the sunshine.

982
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:24,000
The plate is gulped in the shadow of the stands.

983
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:29,000
As hard as Maloney throws it might be a little bit tough to follow.

984
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:31,000
Swung at a curve and missed.

985
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:34,000
That evens it up with a ball and a strike.

986
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:35,000
Two men are out.

987
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:39,000
Fourth inning, no score.

988
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:45,000
A memorable day in St. Louis.

989
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:48,000
Now the glance at second, the pitch on the way.

990
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:50,000
High.

991
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:54,000
Stan Sandick who's a lieutenant.

992
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:57,000
Now at Fort Riley.

993
01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:00,000
Saw his dad play an exhibition game earlier this year in Kansas City.

994
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:04,000
He's near to the...

995
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:06,000
Fort Riley, here's the pitch low and inside.

996
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:10,000
But actually I guess I've seen him the first time in the National League game this season.

997
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:17,000
Three balls and a strike on Bill White.

998
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:20,000
The outfield straight away and deep.

999
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:21,000
Three one pitch.

1000
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:22,000
Here it is.

1001
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:25,000
Ball four, he walked him.

1002
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:27,000
Here's James now.

1003
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:30,000
Let's pause for a station identification.

1004
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:32,000
This is the Cardinals baseball network.

1005
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:37,000
AMLX, AMF, AMC, St. Louis.

1006
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:48,000
Best way to ship chemicals in the heart of America is Wabash Cannonball Freight Service.

1007
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:53,000
This is Harry Carey with Jerry Gross and Roy May here at Fort Stadium.

1008
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:56,000
Charlie James with runners at first and second.

1009
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:59,000
Misses the first pitch for a strike.

1010
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:02,000
One strike and no ball.

1011
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:05,000
Runners at first and second.

1012
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:09,000
Jim Maloney into the stretch.

1013
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:11,000
A bouncing ball to strike the inning out of the open.

1014
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:13,000
Cardinals to second base.

1015
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:14,000
Force play.

1016
01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:16,000
So James force play.

1017
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:19,000
And it's one hit, no runs, no errors on two left.

1018
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:22,000
At the end of the four, there's no score.

1019
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:25,000
There's no time to lose, no time at all.

1020
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:33,000
Right now, today, your nearby Mercury dealer is slashing prices on every last 63 Mercury in the house to the lowest prices of the year.

1021
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:34,000
Think of it.

1022
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:37,000
A big powerful Mercury Marauder, winner of the Pike's Peak Climb.

1023
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:39,000
An action-packed Mercury Meteor.

1024
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:40,000
A value-packed Mercury Comet.

1025
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:44,000
All now in all popular styles and colors at the lowest prices ever.

1026
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:46,000
You see, your Mercury dealer has a problem.

1027
01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:48,000
Those new 64s are on the way.

1028
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:49,000
He has to make room for them now.

1029
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:51,000
And there's just one way to do it.

1030
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:53,000
By offering you, the customer, the best buys ever.

1031
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:56,000
That means that you'll get a higher trade-in allowance than ever.

1032
01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:59,000
It means you'll get the fast, friendly, low-cost financing you want.

1033
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:02,000
It means you can just about write your own deal.

1034
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:05,000
Because he can't afford to turn down any offer that's at all reasonable.

1035
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:07,000
Yes, you played the waiting game and won.

1036
01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:10,000
But now is the time to come in and take your savings.

1037
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:14,000
Remember, these 63 Mercuries won't last long at these final clearance prices, so hurry.

1038
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:25,000
See you in nearby Mercury Meteor now.

1039
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:28,000
Foreman to lead it off in the fifth.

1040
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:31,000
First pitch, a high-fly ball to right center that ought to be caught.

1041
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:33,000
That's Charlie James.

1042
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:35,000
And he makes the fly.

1043
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:40,000
One out.

1044
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:41,000
One out.

1045
01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:43,000
And there's Johnny Edwards.

1046
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:46,000
Left-handed batter.

1047
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:52,000
Ball game in the fifth.

1048
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:55,000
No scores yet.

1049
01:39:55,000 --> 01:39:57,000
Musial's had the only hit for the Cardinals.

1050
01:39:57,000 --> 01:40:00,000
A single center with one out in the fourth.

1051
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:02,000
Here's the pitch to Johnny Edwards.

1052
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:04,000
And it's a curveball low.

1053
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:08,000
One ball, no strikes.

1054
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:11,000
We're in the fifth.

1055
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:13,000
Now the pitch on the way.

1056
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:15,000
A ground ball, white to his right.

1057
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:20,000
Javier feels that Gibson covers a nice play.

1058
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:22,000
White couldn't reach the ball, but Javier did.

1059
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:24,000
Bob Gibson was alert and covered.

1060
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:26,000
And it's an easy out.

1061
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:28,000
Two men up, two men down.

1062
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:31,000
And here's Chico Cardinals.

1063
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:33,000
Right-handed batter.

1064
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:36,000
Ball game in the fifth.

1065
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:39,000
Pittsburgh on the Giants, nothing, nothing at the end of one.

1066
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:41,000
The Reds are watching that one closely.

1067
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:45,000
They got a chance to finish in a third-place tie.

1068
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:48,000
Cardinals takes a slider over the outside corner.

1069
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:50,000
Started a swing.

1070
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:54,000
Didn't, thought it was outside. It wasn't.

1071
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:58,000
One strike, no ball.

1072
01:40:58,000 --> 01:40:59,000
The pitch missed.

1073
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:01,000
Boy, he had a cut that time.

1074
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:03,000
Two strikes and no ball.

1075
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:07,000
Two out and only on, fifth inning.

1076
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:13,000
Delightful day in St. Louis with a cool breeze blowing.

1077
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:17,000
Bob Gibson getting ready.

1078
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:20,000
Just barely missed outside.

1079
01:41:20,000 --> 01:41:25,000
Two strikes and a ball. Two out, fifth inning.

1080
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:28,000
Chico Cardinals digging in.

1081
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:30,000
He got him swinging.

1082
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:33,000
And that's a six-strike on now for Gibson.

1083
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:36,000
And it's nothing across in the fifth.

1084
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:41,000
And we go into the bottom half of the fifth inning, no score in the ball game.

1085
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:46,000
There are lots of relief pitchers in baseball, but only a select few deserve the nickname, firemen.

1086
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:51,000
That's the reliever who can come in on the heat of a game and really snuff out a rally.

1087
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:55,000
It's a special job, a job that separates the men from the boys.

1088
01:41:55,000 --> 01:41:59,000
And in smoking, the cigarette that separates the men from the boys is lucky strike.

1089
01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:01,000
You know, smoking is a pleasure meant for adults.

1090
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:05,000
Lucky strikes, fine tobacco, are blended for adult tastes.

1091
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:08,000
If you're an adult smoker, remember, LSMFT.

1092
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:10,000
Lucky strike means fine tobacco.

1093
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:14,000
So get all the rich, full-bodied taste you can ask for.

1094
01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:18,000
Ask for lucky strike.

1095
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:24,000
Lucky separates the men from the boys, but not from the girls.

1096
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:28,000
Brave and dazed, that's a cute step-by.

1097
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:31,000
LSMFT is white.

1098
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:37,000
Lucky separates the men from the boys, but not from the girls.

1099
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:41,000
Fear stirs, you like.

1100
01:42:41,000 --> 01:43:01,000
Lucky strike.

1101
01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:05,000
Regardless of the bottom of the fifth, the Cardinals and the Reds are nothing, nothing.

1102
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:08,000
Tim McCarver will lead it off. He fanned his first time up.

1103
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:11,000
Maloney has fanned seven men in four innings.

1104
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:14,000
Gibson has struck out six and five.

1105
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:16,000
We're in the last of the fifth.

1106
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:19,000
There's McCarver leading it off. Here's the pitch.

1107
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:20,000
There's a high pop line.

1108
01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:22,000
In the short center, Rose backing up.

1109
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:24,000
Under the ball, he's got it.

1110
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:27,000
So McCarver popped the road.

1111
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:31,000
Maloney is shooting for his 24th victory of the year.

1112
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:34,000
Gibson's trying for number 19.

1113
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:44,000
A real duel for a capacity crowd on his memorable day, September the 29th.

1114
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:49,000
Stan Huseel's farewell is a play.

1115
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:51,000
The pitch to Javier.

1116
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:54,000
Swung late and foul back.

1117
01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:56,000
Into the lower deck, strike one.

1118
01:43:56,000 --> 01:43:58,000
One strike, can't hold off.

1119
01:43:58,000 --> 01:44:04,000
One out and nobody on base.

1120
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:07,000
The Cardinals, who of course have already clinched second place,

1121
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:11,000
but the Reds fighting for a first division berth.

1122
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:15,000
At the moment, they're tied for fourth one game on a third.

1123
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:17,000
Now the pitch.

1124
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:19,000
High pop line, a short right field.

1125
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:20,000
That might be trouble.

1126
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:23,000
Everybody chasing it. Harper on the run makes the gap.

1127
01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:26,000
Lost his cap and caught the ball.

1128
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:30,000
Javier popped out to Harper.

1129
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:33,000
He made a good running catch on the right field line.

1130
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:36,000
Here's Bob Gibson.

1131
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:41,000
Gibson, the leading hitter among Cardinal pitchers, batting 2-12.

1132
01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:43,000
And he has had three home runs.

1133
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:46,000
20 runs batted in.

1134
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:50,000
One ball and all strike as the fastball is high.

1135
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:55,000
Gibson makes his home in Omaha.

1136
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:57,000
The delivery.

1137
01:44:57,000 --> 01:44:59,000
High pop ball coming back.

1138
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:02,000
Edwards, no play.

1139
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:06,000
On the screen but not close enough to us.

1140
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:11,000
Here, I wish I didn't went up this way today. I'd be lucky.

1141
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:16,000
One ball, one strike.

1142
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:19,000
Two men are out.

1143
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:22,000
Bob Gibson after.

1144
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:26,000
And when he gets set, the pitch is on the way.

1145
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:30,000
A beauty curveball strike to call.

1146
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:32,000
Man, this fella really snaps one off.

1147
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:34,000
Directly overhanded.

1148
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:37,000
Two strikes and a ball to pitch on the way.

1149
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:40,000
Curveball that Gibson really bailing out of there.

1150
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:42,000
But it was inside.

1151
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:46,000
Two balls, two strikes.

1152
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:47,000
Two men out.

1153
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:51,000
We're in the fifth.

1154
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:53,000
No one outside, ball three.

1155
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:56,000
Three and two.

1156
01:45:56,000 --> 01:45:59,000
Had a girl in her.

1157
01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:01,000
Full count of Bob Gibson.

1158
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:04,000
He became the Cardinals' first baserunner in the third when he walked.

1159
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:06,000
Three-two pitch.

1160
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:08,000
He struck him out.

1161
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:09,000
Swinging hard.

1162
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:11,000
Strikeout number eight.

1163
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:12,000
Four men warming.

1164
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:14,000
Nothing across.

1165
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:18,000
At the end of five, no score.

1166
01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:22,000
Lucky strikes.

1167
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:26,000
Lucky separates the men from the boys.

1168
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:29,000
But not from the girls.

1169
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:31,000
Smoking is a pleasure meant for adults.

1170
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:34,000
And Lucky strikes fine tobacco is a blend for adult taste.

1171
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:38,000
If you're an adult smoker, remember, L.S. and F.T.

1172
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:41,000
Lucky strikes means fine tobacco.

1173
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:44,000
So you get all the rich, full-bodied taste you could ask for.

1174
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:47,000
Ask for Lucky Strike.

1175
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:52,000
Lucky separates the men from the boys.

1176
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:55,000
But not from the girls.

1177
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:58,000
Greatest case that you can find.

1178
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:01,000
L.S. and F.T. is fine.

1179
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:05,000
Lucky separates the men from the boys.

1180
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:08,000
But not from the girls.

1181
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:11,000
Mr. Actual Life.

1182
01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:18,000
Lucky Strikes.

1183
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:22,000
Well, it's bad news for the football fans.

1184
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:27,000
The football Cardinals were beaten at Pittsburgh 23-10 by the Steelers today.

1185
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:29,000
But you can't win them all.

1186
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:34,000
Out of the first three games on the road, the Cardinals have won two and lost one now.

1187
01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:37,000
So here's Casco to lead it off.

1188
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:42,000
We're in the sixth.

1189
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:45,000
And there's a good fastball in the first strike off.

1190
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:52,000
One strike and a ball.

1191
01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:54,000
Casco swings a ground ball down to Grove.

1192
01:47:54,000 --> 01:47:57,000
He'll throw him out.

1193
01:47:57,000 --> 01:48:02,000
One gone as Dick Grove throws out Eddie Casco.

1194
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:07,000
Beautiful day in St. Louis.

1195
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:09,000
Where does Maloney and Gibson are pitching?

1196
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:14,000
You wonder how anybody's going to score.

1197
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:20,000
And in this game you can't even kick a field goal.

1198
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:23,000
One out, nobody on. Maloney left handed batter against Gibson.

1199
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:25,000
He takes a fastball strike off.

1200
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:27,000
One strike and a ball.

1201
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:32,000
One out, nobody on. Sixth inning, no score.

1202
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:35,000
Really rolling along.

1203
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:38,000
There's a beauty at the knees. Strike two.

1204
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:46,000
Two strikes and nothing.

1205
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:49,000
There's the pitch outside.

1206
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:54,000
Warren Spahn is pitching that game today in Milwaukee against the Cubs.

1207
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:58,000
Henry Aaron gave him a lead in the first inning of the home run.

1208
01:48:58,000 --> 01:49:00,000
Two strikes and a ball.

1209
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:04,000
There's a drive deep center, blood back. He's there.

1210
01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:09,000
Makes the catch. Maloney hit that ball sharply.

1211
01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:12,000
It's out two men up, two men down.

1212
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:18,000
Boy I tell you if it hadn't been for the air on the pop line, the third.

1213
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:21,000
Gibson would be pitching town on to a perfect game.

1214
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:25,000
Rose the leadoff man, single, but was retired in a strikeout double play.

1215
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:33,000
And the only other man to reach base was Casco when Boyer dropped his windblown pop fly for an error in the third.

1216
01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:36,000
So each team has had one hit. Here's the pitch to Rose.

1217
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:43,000
He had a home run cut.

1218
01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:47,000
One out of two. Rookie of the year, Pete Rose.

1219
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:52,000
Started a swing held up. Town is even up with a ball and a strike.

1220
01:49:52,000 --> 01:49:59,000
They're in the sixth. Two out. Nobody on base. No score.

1221
01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:03,000
Gibson delivers. Swing on a high pop fly.

1222
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:07,000
In the left field, a right drop. You'll see him chasing it. It's a foul ball.

1223
01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:28,000
Just to the foul side of the line.

1224
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:41,000
Well we just saw it.

1225
01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:54,000
Two strikes and a ball. Two out. Rose up there.

1226
01:50:54,000 --> 01:51:08,000
Another pitch outside. Aaron's forty fourth home run of the year has given Spahn a one to nothing lead at the end of two in Milwaukee over the Cubs.

1227
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:12,000
Going outside McCovey's got forty four so Aaron has tied him.

1228
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:19,000
The home run championship is at stake. It looks like Tommy Davis has won the batting title.

1229
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:24,000
Three two pitch to Rose. Swung on bouncing ball up the middle but Javier cuts in on it. Has it.

1230
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:29,000
Throws him out on a close play. One two three and out again.

1231
01:51:29,000 --> 01:51:35,000
Nothing across. We're going to the bottom half of the sixth. No score.

1232
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:44,000
He who waits is lost so don't delay another day. Right now your nearby Mercury dealer is trading high wide and handsome on all his remaining sixty three Mercury's.

1233
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:52,000
He has to because the sixty fours are on the way. So be here soon and he must make room. He must move every last brand new Monterey, Midior and Comet.

1234
01:51:52,000 --> 01:52:01,000
He's slashing prices on his showroom cars, his demonstrators, salesman's cars too. And because everything must go you have a wide variety to choose from if you move right now.

1235
01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:08,000
So whether you've got your IRC Dan, station wagon, convertible or sports model, see your Mercury dealer right now. Chances are he's got just the car you want.

1236
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:14,000
And needless to say they've never been priced lower. So bring in your old car for the highest trade in offer you've ever heard.

1237
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:23,000
Get yourself the deal of a lifetime on any brand new Mercury in stock. But and we can't repeat this too often you must act now because he's really moving cars.

1238
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:42,000
See your Mercury dealer today about a sixty three Mercury and save as you've never saved before.

1239
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:54,000
Bottom half of the sixth no score. It'll be flood, growth and mucil coming up this inning. I would imagine this perhaps might be the last time that Stan Musial will bat. Here's the pitch.

1240
01:52:54,000 --> 01:53:01,000
Fastball low. I'm sure the manager Johnny Keane will want to give this crowd a final opportunity.

1241
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:15,000
I'm a farm a deal as a player one ball no strike. What takes it for a strike off. So we might be seeing in this inning.

1242
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:37,000
The greatest career of all and one ball one strike as a fly ball.

1243
01:53:37,000 --> 01:53:45,000
One hundred and ninety nine hit the season that road has two hundred and one one has a hundred and ninety nine.

1244
01:53:45,000 --> 01:54:01,000
White has a hundred and ninety eight. There's a chance to score a lead off double by blood Cardinals won the first game this season at New York.

1245
01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:16,000
Now this the final game I will like there.

1246
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:31,000
A great pitching performance to remember the season by remember even more importantly this day by.

1247
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:50,000
The roads can't find the ones who strikes and nothing is trying to get one over the third base. So two strikes no ball runner at second base the ball game in the sixth.

1248
01:54:50,000 --> 01:55:02,000
Jim Maroney gets ready. He's struck him out strike number nine.

1249
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:23,000
Here's your sale.

1250
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:27,000
First pitch. Oh what a cut he had and he filed it back.

1251
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:32,000
He really had a swing at that one.

1252
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:41,000
He'll see a man who's had three thousand six hundred and twenty nine hits during his fabulous career.

1253
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:57,000
Jim Maroney.

1254
01:55:57,000 --> 01:56:12,000
And the swing. Unlikely to say his wife's again.

1255
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:26,000
And got the first hit off the loading single center the only other hit was the lead off double by blood.

1256
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:46,000
The bullies are losing one to nothing before the Los Angeles.

1257
01:56:46,000 --> 01:57:04,000
One here we go.

1258
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:07,000
How.

1259
01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:15,000
hit. His first base hit gave the Cardinals a 3-2 victory. Now listen, Gary Coleman is going to replace Newfield.

1260
01:57:18,000 --> 01:57:25,000
There he goes! The end of a great career. A standing ovation for Newfield.

1261
01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:31,000
The game is team to lead, 1-0.

1262
01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:38,000
He's got a second hit. And there it is. Here's the way he racks it up.

1263
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:44,000
3,026 games. 10,973 at-bats.

1264
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:48,000
1,949 runs scored.

1265
01:57:49,000 --> 01:57:51,000
3,630 hits.

1266
01:57:51,000 --> 01:58:03,000
725 doubles. 177 triples. 475 home runs. 1,950 runs batted in.

1267
01:58:07,000 --> 01:58:14,000
Boy, you're up there. You throw the first. I had a hunch maybe that would happen. That's why I tried to alert you to it because...

1268
01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:20,000
Curve a little bit outside. Yes, sir.

1269
01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:32,000
His first major league hit against the Boston Braves and against a knuckleballer named Jim Tobin. His last major league hit against a fireballer named Jim Maloney.

1270
01:58:33,000 --> 01:58:36,000
Each drove in runs. The double against Tobin.

1271
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:45,000
Back in 1941 gave the Cardinals a 3-2 victory driving in two runs. And the single-hair gives them a 1-0 lead in the sixth.

1272
01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:49,000
Unfortunately, the remainder of the game is missing.

1273
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:56,000
The original recording was stopped with the Cardinals up 2-0 after Musial was pulled from the game for a pinch runner.

1274
01:58:57,000 --> 01:58:59,000
The ending of the game did prove to be dramatic, however.

1275
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:08,000
The Reds tied the game in the top of the ninth against Bob Gibson after three consecutive hits by Gordy Coleman, Don Pavluczak, and Leo Cardenas.

1276
01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:12,000
The Cardinals loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth but failed to score.

1277
01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:29,000
The game remained tied until the bottom of the 14th when the Cardinals Jerry Buczek and Kurt Flood singled and then Dale Maxwell doubled to end the game.
