00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:15,000
The Brooklyn Dodgers faced the Philadelphia Phillies at Connie Maxx Stadium for opening day in Philadelphia on Tuesday, April 16th, 1957.

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:22,000
The Dodgers were looking to make it back to the World Series for the third consecutive season under manager Walt Alston, who was in his fourth year as skipper.

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:30,000
The Dodgers had won 90 or more games in seven consecutive seasons, including four trips to the fall classic in the past five seasons.

5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Philadelphia had been a 500 team for several seasons after their surprising trip to the World Series in 1950.

6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000
They entered the 1957 season under manager Mayo Smith in his third year with the club.

7
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:48,000
This audio recording is from the Dodgers radio broadcast featuring announcers Vince Scully, Jerry Doggett, and Al Helfer.

8
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:57,000
For real enjoyment, Brooklyn Dodger baseball. For real enjoyment, get Schaeffer. It's real beer.

9
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Yes, here come the Dodgers. And this is Jerry Doggett with Al Helfer and Vince Scully, inviting you to stay with us now as they invade Connie Maxx Stadium to play the Philadelphia Phillies.

10
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:17,000
All the doings are sent your way with the compliments of the F&M Schaeffer Brewing Company of Brooklyn, brewers of America's oldest lager beer, Schaeffer.

11
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:28,000
And also with the compliments of the American Tobacco Company, America's leading manufacturer of cigarettes on behalf of Lucky Strike, the buzz-pasting cigarette you ever smoke.

12
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Now as the game gets underway, for real enjoyment, have yourself a foaming glass of Schaeffer. It's real beer.

13
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,000
We have a meeting at home plate now between manager Walt Alston and manager Mayo Smith.

14
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:49,000
We're going to have the forum part for tonight's ball game and this National League season for the Dodgers and the Phillies is going to be opening up here in just a very few moments.

15
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Let's give you a rundown now on the starting lineup. For the visiting Dodgers, it'll be Jim Gilliam at second base.

16
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Geno Samoley in left field. Duke Snyder in center field. Carl Ferrello in right field.

17
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Gil Hodges at first base. Randy Jackson at third. Roy Campanella will do the catching.

18
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Don Zimmer at shortstop and Don Newcomb on the mound to do the pitching.

19
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Big Don, of course, the most valuable player of the year last year in the National League, won 27 games and lost seven.

20
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:38,000
For the Phillies, it'll be Richie Ashburn in center field. Chico Fernandez at shortstop. Ed Busce at first base.

21
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Rip Raposki in left field. Willie Jones at third base. Stan Lopata, the catcher. Bob Bowman in right field.

22
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Ted Kazanski at shortstop and Robin Roberts on the mound to do the pitching.

23
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,000
There's the umpire for tonight's ball game. Dusty Boggess at the plate. Tom Gorman at first base.

24
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Hal Dixon at second and Ken Burkhart is at third base.

25
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Right now, Robin Roberts burning down a few warm-up crosses and we'll have the National League season for the Phillies and Dodgers underway.

26
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,000
This afternoon, the other clubs got busy. The Pirates beat the Giants 9-2. Milwaukee beat the Cubs 4-1.

27
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:25,000
And St. Louis beat Cincinnati 13-4. An American League activity. The Yankees beat Washington 2-1.

28
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Boston beat Baltimore 4-2. Chicago beat Cleveland 3-2. And Kansas City beat Detroit 2-1.

29
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,000
So now, on the mound. Robin Roberts tuning up with catcher Stan Lopata.

30
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:44,000
The practice side to second base and standing by ready to call the play-by-play for you for the F&M Schaeffer Brewing Company of Brooklyn and Schaeffer Beer.

31
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Here's Al Helfer. Al, let's go with the season.

32
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000
All right, Jerry, thank you very much. And hi, everybody.

33
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:59,000
The 82nd National League season about to break forth in Philadelphia where the first major league ball game was played.

34
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:05,000
The first game in the National League was played right here in Philadelphia on the 22nd of April in 1876.

35
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000
And Roberts fires the first pitch through to Gilliam for strike one.

36
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Thus, this one has begun. Jim Gilliam, who last year hit an even 300 with six home runs and 43 runs batted in, is up there taking the next pitch.

37
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,000
And that's good too for a strike.

38
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:31,000
So Robin Roberts seems to be his old sharp self here tonight as he begins the season for the Philadelphia Phillies.

39
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Jim Gilliam standing in, hitting left-handed against the right-hand offerings of Roberts.

40
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:47,000
There's a little fastball swung on and hit deep to right field. Bob Bowman is going back, back on the cinder track and hauls it down for the outs.

41
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,000
So the 1957 season has now begun.

42
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,000
One out for the Dodgers here in the top half of any number one. And the batter coming up is Gino Simoli.

43
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:04,000
This sort of culminates for Simoli, a tremendous attempt this year to become a member of the Dodger varsity.

44
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Gino Simoli, who when he came to spring training this year, made one statement, a very quiet one.

45
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:18,000
He said one night, we were sitting around talking, he said, this has got to be my year. I've got to make it this year.

46
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:25,000
We said to him, Gino, do you think you'll be in the starting lineup opening day? He said, I'm going to give it everything I've got.

47
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Gino Simoli, ladies and gentlemen, stepping up to the plate. He hit 111 last year for the Brooklyn Dodgers, had four runs batted in,

48
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:41,000
and the first pitch and hit the highest foul ball off the first base line. That goes to the roof and to the light tower out of play.

49
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:50,000
This will be quite a day or a night, as the case may be, for a couple of young fellows on the field.

50
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Mr. Simoli is one of them. Roberts comes in with a right arm pick that's swung on and pops foul off to the right of the plate.

51
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Looks how to dig it over to the stands. Can he get it? He cannot. It's into the box.

52
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Gino Simoli is still up there swinging with the counter strike, too.

53
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Dusty Boggess will play down fire, gives out a brand new baseball to Robin Roberts.

54
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:28,000
We're in the top half of the first inning of the opening game of the 1957 season.

55
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Roberts comes down 0-2 to Simoli. The pitch is swung on and lined in the center field. Richie Ashburn has the range on it and hauls it in.

56
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000
So Simoli hits the ball well, but lined it right to Richie Ashburn, the center fielder.

57
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,000
There are two outs in the top half of the first inning. There are no base runners.

58
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Coming up to the plate now is Duke Snyder, who during the springtime, as is his custom, hits rather lightly.

59
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,000
But the bell has rung and the chips are down. They're big and they're blue.

60
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Snyder has a determined step to his jaw these days.

61
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Roberts delivers him. Snyder swings and pops a foul off to the left of the plate. That comes to the top of the roof on play.

62
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,000
No balls, one strike to count on Duke Snyder.

63
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Schaefer Beer, very happy to be sending it to you tonight from Coneymax Stadium in Philadelphia.

64
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Hope you're relaxing right now with a tall fool Schaefer. That's real beer.

65
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:36,000
That on fastball swung on, popped off off the third baseline. Coming over for it is Jones near the stands and he's got it.

66
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:43,000
So the first half of the first inning is over. And for the Brooklyn Dodgers, they have nothing across.

67
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:52,000
And the score at the end of the top half of the first inning, the Dodgers nothing, the now coming to bat Commodocie Phillies have nothing.

68
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Gary's got something, let's find him an error.

69
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:02,000
You know, when friends stop in to visit, it's part of the American way to make them sit right back and kind of feel at home.

70
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Man, that's where Schaefer Beer does you proud.

71
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:13,000
There's just no better way to make the folks feel welcome than to pass around tall, cool, golden amber glasses on Schaefer Beer.

72
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,000
It's your way of saying you want your friends to really enjoy themselves in your home.

73
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,000
No question about it, because Schaefer is beer at its best.

74
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Beer that's brewed only of rich barley malt, tangy hops, and other fine natural ingredients.

75
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Schaefer, that's where you get the light, lively, satisfying flavor you want but don't always find.

76
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,000
The lilt and lift of truly great beer.

77
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:50,000
The next time you expect the Klan or the neighbors to gather around your living room, make sure you have plenty of Schaefer Beer on ice.

78
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:57,000
For real enjoyment, make it Schaefer. It's real beer.

79
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Well, a couple of real control artists working here tonight.

80
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Robin Roberts in the first inning didn't offer up a ball if they're all strikes.

81
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:11,000
John Newcomb has a real good arm as far as that fifth strike zone is concerned too, so here we go.

82
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,000
Last to the first, right back down.

83
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Richie Ashburn coming up as the leadoff man for the Philadelphia Phillies.

84
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Last year he hit.303 at three home runs and 50 runs batted in.

85
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Stilled in the box with the flyer and hit some left-handed and is always a threat to drop the bunt down the third base line.

86
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Thus, Randy Jackson plays up shallow at third base.

87
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:38,000
The outfield playing straight away and not too deep to Ashburn as Big Don Newcomb takes his time from Roy Campanella.

88
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Now let's see the Dodgers defensively for 1957.

89
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,000
There's the fast ball fired through but low for ball one.

90
00:09:46,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Richie Ashburn to be followed by former Dodger Chico Fernandez and then by Ed Bucci, the first baseman up from the Miami Ball Club of the International League.

91
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Newcomb kicking dirt out of the mound.

92
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,000
The Dodgers defensively, Don Newcomb on the mound, 27-game winner.

93
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000
His better-amate, Roy Campanella.

94
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Down comes the next pitch, fast ball fired high for ball two.

95
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Two balls and no strikes.

96
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,000
The Dodger infield of Hodges at first base, Jim Gilliam at second.

97
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,000
At shortstop, Don Zimmer, a big night for Don.

98
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:36,000
And as he said just prior to the ball game, he said he was deeply thankful and grateful for having the opportunity of playing at shortstop for the Dodgers,

99
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,000
but he hated to do so at the expense of a grand guy named Reese.

100
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,000
The third ball is over.

101
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Denise for a strike.

102
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,000
We sincerely hope that if Captain Reese is listening in at the St. George Hotel in Brooklyn,

103
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:55,000
that he knows just exactly how the boy taking his place tonight on the field feels about him.

104
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,000
He wants him to come back just as soon as he possibly can.

105
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Because Zimmer, well, Reese happens to be his item.

106
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,000
The pitch is flung on.

107
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,000
There's a fly ball hit to left field.

108
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Gino Somoli over near the line, hauls it in.

109
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Gino had that one played just right.

110
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Ashburn jumping an outside pitch down the left field line and Somoli played it tight.

111
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Oh, there's one away in the last half of the first inning.

112
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Brandy Jackson is third for the Dodgers.

113
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,000
That completes their infield.

114
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
The outfield is Gino Somoli in left.

115
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Duke Snyder in center.

116
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,000
And Carl Ferrello in right.

117
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Chico Fernandez stepping up to the plate.

118
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,000
As a Dodger last year, he hit 227, hit one home run and had nine runs batted in.

119
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:44,000
He takes a crossfire that's under the letters good for a strike.

120
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Fernandez, the right-hand hitter, bats McCrouch.

121
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Stands about three-quarters deep at the plate.

122
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000
This is a big opportunity for Chico.

123
00:11:52,000 --> 00:12:00,000
He is starting his first big league season as a starter.

124
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,000
That ball swung on by Chico and popped back foul to the stands.

125
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Strike two.

126
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:20,000
I don't suppose I'll ever forget the look on Chico's face when he was informed that he'd been sold to the Philadelphia Phillies.

127
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Sort of mixed emotions.

128
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000
He didn't want to leave the ball

129
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Who would want to leave a bunch of guys like these Dodgers?

130
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Noverhand Curveball is tied to Chico right off the face for ball one.

131
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,000
And yet Chico knew that moving into Philadelphia, where they were hungry for infield talent,

132
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:45,000
he would have an excellent opportunity to play a lot of baseball and start his career solid.

133
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:55,000
So he's down at the plate right now, number 45, leaning over with a count of one ball, two strikes with Don Newper.

134
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Big Don starts his pumping motion. Here's the one-two pitch.

135
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:17,000
An overhand fastball swung on and hit down into the ground foul.

136
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:46,000
The bench.

137
00:13:46,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Now the two-two delivery.

138
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,000
And it's the batter with a count of three balls and two strikes.

139
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Big Don Newcombe out on the line for the Dodgers tonight.

140
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,000
Starts his motion. His three-two pitch is whipped in there.

141
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Over for cold strike three.

142
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Oh, Fernandez sadly turns and walks away.

143
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Newcombe wrecks up the first strike out of the ball game.

144
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:43,000
The first to play now will be Ed Pucci. He spells his name B-O-U-C-H-E-E.

145
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Edward Francis Pucci.

146
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,000
I think the pronunciation for his name actually is Pucci.

147
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,000
He was recalled by the Finners from Miami on the 4th of September last year.

148
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Left-hand hitter swings on the first pitch and fouls it to the roof off the third-base side to strike one.

149
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:10,000
The ball was born in 1933 out at Livingston, Montana.

150
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,000
He now lives in Miami, Florida where he played ball last year.

151
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Graduated from Lewis and Clark High School out in Foucault back in 1951.

152
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Swings on the next pitch and dribbles it up the first baseline foul.

153
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,000
No balls, two strikes.

154
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:44,000
The boy who went to Washington State College and then went to Gonzaga played baseball, football, basketball.

155
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Ed Pucci, French-Canadian, English descent, stands about three-quarters deep at the plate,

156
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,000
takes a look at a pitch and that's outside.

157
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,000
One ball and two strikes.

158
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:04,000
Ed Pucci began his organized baseball career with Spokane, the Western International League, 52,

159
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:11,000
and then he was on the national service list until 55 when he came back disconnected in the Eastern League.

160
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,000
56 he was with Miami and was up for nine games with the Phillies last year.

161
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Swings on the slow curve and fouls it to the roof.

162
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
One ball and two strikes.

163
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Last year with Philadelphia he hit 273 and with Miami the International League he appeared in 144 ball games and batted 294.

164
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:37,000
That's Mayo Smith giving him a good look over this year and an opportunity to start tonight as a Philadelphia regular.

165
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Ed Boucher, Newcomb flaps his wings, comes in with a fast ball and that's up above the shoulders.

166
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Two balls, two strikes.

167
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Ed Boucher with two down, no base runners in the last half of the first inning and no score.

168
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:58,000
And Schaefer Beer sending it all to you from Conny Mack Stadium down from Adelphi Way.

169
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Open date tomorrow but come Thursday it'll be the home opener with the Pittsburgh Pirates at Ebbets Field.

170
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Hope you've got your ticket.

171
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,000
Two-two delivery, fast ball, cold strike three.

172
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Fired right in off the fifth.

173
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Newcomb starts to walk off the mound as he picks up his second strikeout tonight.

174
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,000
And the first inning for Philadelphia, nothing across, the score at the end of one.

175
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
It's the Dodgers, nothing.

176
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Just Philadelphia Phillies have nothing.

177
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Adelphi, Jerry, what do you got for us?

178
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Well you know how one of the handy things about the Schaefer Six Pack is that they're so easy to spot in the store.

179
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:43,000
You just look around for scenes of folks doing the things folks do, fishing, having a picnic,

180
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:50,000
working in the shop, watching TV, enjoying a glass of Schaefer Beer in each of these situations.

181
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Those are the pictures right on the sides of the Schaefer Six Pack.

182
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Pictures of enjoyment, real enjoyment.

183
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Naturally they go hand in hand with what's inside the Schaefer Six Pack.

184
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,000
The real beer flavor that gives you so much enjoyment.

185
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,000
So when you stop by the store, pick up a Schaefer Six Pack or two.

186
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Just look for the white background and the pictures of young folks enjoying themselves.

187
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,000
You'll enjoy Schaefer yourself.

188
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,000
It's real beer.

189
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Well there we go on the second inning.

190
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Carl Perillo, Gil Hodges, and Randy Jackson.

191
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,000
The three do the face drop and Roberts goes right back down.

192
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Last year in the National League, Brooklyn's right fielder Carl Perillo, very steady ball player, batted 289.

193
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,000
He had 21 home runs and 83 runs batted in.

194
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Against the Phils he hit 268 in the springtime after a late start.

195
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000
He settled for a 2-5-4 batting effort.

196
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Carl, the right hand hitter, standing in.

197
00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Big square-shouldered right-hander delivers. A lot of fastball that misses outside for ball one.

198
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000
Robin Roberts on the mound, Stan Lopata behind the plate.

199
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Ted Boucher at first base, Ted Kizanski at second.

200
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,000
The shortstop Chico Fernandez and at third for the Phillies.

201
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,000
Foot and head jump.

202
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
We'll get the outfield for you in a moment.

203
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Sidearm curveball that's outside and low.

204
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,000
Fiorello's count is two balls and no strikes.

205
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Out of left field, Ripper Pulsky for Philadelphia, new face here at City of Brotherly Love.

206
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,000
In center field, Richie Ashburn and in right field, Bob Bowman.

207
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Roberts ready, delivers two and nothing.

208
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Sidearm curve and Fiorello fouls it back to the screen.

209
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Two balls, one strike.

210
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,000
No score on this one here tonight.

211
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,000
However, the scores this afternoon had Milwaukee beating Chicago 4-1,

212
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:58,000
St. Louis defeating Cincinnati 13-4, and Pittsburgh taking the Giants 9-2.

213
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Roberts ready, two ones to plate.

214
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Fiorello takes the pitches outside by shape for ball three.

215
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Three balls, one strike on Carl Fiorello, who now looks around and checks up with Herman,

216
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:16,000
coaching down to third base to see what kind of sign is on the pennant.

217
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Roberts to the 3-1 delivery.

218
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000
Down it comes, fastball, wrapped deep into left field.

219
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Back and up for it is Ripper Pulsky.

220
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Can he get it? He cannot.

221
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,000
It's in, the left field stands.

222
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Is it? No, it's not.

223
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Not quite. Did not quite make it.

224
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Right up against the board.

225
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,000
The left fielder was able to reach up and make the catch.

226
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
So Ripper Pulsky handles that one.

227
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:45,000
He started to look up until that ball was gone, and then suddenly reached up and nailed it.

228
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Joe Fiorello is out on a high fly ball driven deep to the wall in left field.

229
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Kind of hard, that ball, settling down out of the night to see exactly where it has gone.

230
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Really have to watch the fielder.

231
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,000
The battery punches with one out on the top of the second inning.

232
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Roberts delivers the fastball. It's low and outside for ball one.

233
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Boy, it looked almost for the moment.

234
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Joe Fiorello had really gotten started.

235
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Robin Roberts ready to pitch again now to Yellow Hodges on the one-nothing count.

236
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Pitch is swung on. There's a high fly ball hit out into short center field.

237
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Coming on for it is Ashburn calling for it.

238
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,000
It's Ashburn making the catch.

239
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,000
So two out in the top of the second inning.

240
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:46,000
The batter now will be Randy Jackson.

241
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Randy Jackson hit 274 last year.

242
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,000
That's nine percentage points more than Hodges, who preceded him here in the batting order tonight.

243
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Had eight home runs and 53 runs batted in that, Randy.

244
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Right-hand hitter takes the lead up fastball over for a strike.

245
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Two down. The bases are empty and there is no score.

246
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Roberts back with a three-quarter overhand fastball, and that's fouled into the stands off the first-base side.

247
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,000
No ball, two strikes. The count remaining on Randy Jackson.

248
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Two out.

249
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Sidearm pitch is upstairs.

250
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Number two, Randy Jackson to play.

251
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000
We're in the second inning.

252
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,000
There are two out. There is no score.

253
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Sidearm is swung on. Broken batter Roller down to third. Jones off to his left.

254
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Plays it up to the post. The boots here first, and that's all for Jackson.

255
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Second back roller to third base.

256
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:15,000
The hardest and loudest hit ball so far off this guy Robin Roberts with Perillo's drive deep to the wall in left field.

257
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Look for the moment as Oaks was all the way out.

258
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Let's see. Top of the second is over with nothing across for the Dodgers, and the score at the end of an inning and a half hits the Dodgers nothing.

259
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,000
The Pumadoufus Phillies have nothing.

260
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:36,000
You know, fans, the mark of a great pitcher is being able to give the catcher just the kind of a pitch he calls for.

261
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,000
And when you think about it, well, that's the same way with brewing beer.

262
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:48,000
The mark of a great brewer is being able to give the customer just the kind of beer he calls for.

263
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Well, that's exactly what the Shaper people have been doing for well over a century.

264
00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:01,000
You just give the signal for a tall, golden amber glass of Shaper, and you'll get exactly what you like in beer.

265
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Yes, sir. The light and dusty flavor you want, but don't always find.

266
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,000
You see, that's the way Shaper is brewed.

267
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:18,000
It's brewed carefully, expertly, to develop all the true beer character and smooth, satisfying flavor you expect in beer.

268
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Every glass of Shaper beer is right in the strike zone, right there for real lip-smacking enjoyment.

269
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Put a cool, foamy glass of Shaper in your hands now. You'll see it's real beer.

270
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Second inning, Raposki the batter, and here again is Al.

271
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,000
Raposki hits him right-handed.

272
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Last year, Rip batted 277, had 11 home runs and 55 runs batted in.

273
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Newcom Ready comes to him with a fastball, a little higher for ball one.

274
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Last half of inning number two, Raposki to be followed by Jones and then by Stan Lopata.

275
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:07,000
So far, this has turned out to be quite a duel, as far as pitchers are concerned.

276
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:12,000
Newcom Ready comes down one and all with a fastball, and there's a line shot hit into left field.

277
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:35,000
The fastball is chases over near the line in the wall, up with it, fires in, and it's a long single for Rip Raposki.

278
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Al and Raposki get the first base blow in the meeting of these two clubs tonight.

279
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:50,000
Coming up now is Jones, third baseman, right-hand hitter.

280
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:57,000
Jones last year hit 277, had 17 home runs and 78 runs batted in.

281
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:10,000
The fastball leads it first. The pitchers make to the plate, the lead of fastball is over for strike one.

282
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Lodge is holding the corner at first base on Raposki.

283
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Rip's ready to move.

284
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Newcom checks him. Now delivers the plate. Jones looks at a slow curve, and that hangs outside.

285
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:37,000
One ball and one strike. Jones checking up signs with Whitlow wide down at third base.

286
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,000
Raposki first has his signs also.

287
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Walter Moses coaching him off down there. Lodge is holding him on.

288
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:50,000
Newcom delivers, the runner goes, it's a pitch out. Roy Campanella fires down to Gillian, the second baseman.

289
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:56,000
They've got him, and then the ball is stuck.

290
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:05,000
And the safe sign is immediately put on by Hal Dixon.

291
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:11,000
So Raposki draws his light at second base on Jim Gilliam's error.

292
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:17,000
Roy Campanella has fired that ball in there and they had him.

293
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Raposki is on at second base. Error on Jim Gilliam. First error of the season.

294
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,000
Jones up there with a count of two balls, one strike.

295
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Down rides the pitch, swung on, and off to the right field for a base hit.

296
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Coming over is Carl Perillo. The run is rounding third and coming in to score.

297
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Riding in the second with a double, Jones.

298
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:05,000
At number two, run number one off Newcombe, and the Phillies lead it here in the last half of the second inning.

299
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:10,000
The attitude of one that up in Jones at second base having doubled in the run.

300
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,000
And Lope out of the catcher standing in for his first setback in the season.

301
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,000
He hit 267 last year, 32 home runs, 95 runs batted in.

302
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,000
That's a very severe cut.

303
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Here's Fowl-Pips, the first pitch into the ground, so strike one.

304
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,000
One to nothing Philadelphia, last half of the second inning.

305
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Newcombe to the stretch, the check of the runner at second.

306
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:51,000
One point, Lopata takes, the slow curve is outside.

307
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:59,000
One ball, one strike, the count on catcher stand, Lopata.

308
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:05,000
A single, followed by an error, and then a double to right field by Jones,

309
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:11,000
has scored Philadelphia's first run, and has scored the first run of the ballgame.

310
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Lopata strikes a look back at Jones at second, delivers the plate to Lopata on a lead up curve ball,

311
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,000
and it's swung on and fouled back to the screen.

312
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:24,000
One ball, two strikes on Stan Lopata.

313
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Oh, this could be a hair-raising evening down here at Philadelphia.

314
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Hope you've got plenty of shaper on hand.

315
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:36,000
Lean back and relax.

316
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,000
Stay right with it.

317
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Newcombe's one-two pitch, down the grad, curve ball is high.

318
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Two ball, two strike count on Stan Lopata.

319
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,000
On deck to go next is Bob Bowman.

320
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,000
In case you're just tuned in with us, we're in the last half of the second inning,

321
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:11,000
and the Phillies are leading one to nothing, with Jones at second base, nobody else.

322
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Newcombe sets, delivers two-two, there's the pass ball swung on,

323
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,000
and Bob Bowman will come to the roof.

324
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,000
That's out of play.

325
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Two balls and two strikes.

326
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,000
In the very first inning, when the Dodgers came to bat,

327
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Gilliam flied to right, Somoli lined out to Ashburn and Centner,

328
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,000
and Snyder fouled out to third baseman Jones for nothing across.

329
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,000
The Phillies went quietly as Ashburn flied to left to Somoli,

330
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,000
and Fernandez and Bouschi both struck out.

331
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,000
Then the Dodgers went down one, two, three in the second.

332
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Pass ball hit down across the carpet to shortstop.

333
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,000
The play by Zimmer is to Randy Jackson for the target, third base on the runner coming in.

334
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:02,000
So it's the fielders' choice, cutting Jones down from Zimmer to third baseman Randy Jackson.

335
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,000
Very nice play by Lowes-Zimm and by Randy Jackson to get the front runner,

336
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,000
and place Lopata on at first base.

337
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,000
The hole went away here in the last half of the second.

338
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:19,000
That brings on Bob Bowman, up from Miami.

339
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:27,000
They had six ball games last year for the Philadelphia Phillies, batted 188 for them.

340
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Newcomb delivers to this right-hand hitter, pitches outside for ball one.

341
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Bowman, for Miami in the International League last year, played 126 games in their outfield, batted 278.

342
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Hit 19 home runs for them, had 81 runs batted in.

343
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Bowman with a little of the pressure taken off his shoulders now, the front runner having been gotten,

344
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:57,000
looks over at Lopata at first base, then delivers the plate with a sidearm pass ball,

345
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:06,000
and that cracks over the corner for a strike.

346
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Bob Bowman, hitting number seven in the order, he's the Philadelphia right fielder.

347
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Has a widespread stance, stands about three-quarters deep at the plate with a slightly open stance.

348
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:25,000
Holds that bat way down to the knob.

349
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Let up clear ball, he's hung on, hit down to Jackson, he knocks it down as he goes through his left.

350
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Zimmer backs him up at the time he gets it, he can make no throw.

351
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:45,000
That'll blow us a single, and we have runners now at first and second.

352
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,000
That's at number three.

353
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,000
Off Newcomb, all three of them coming here in the second inning.

354
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,000
Goal with one-half, the Philadelphia Phillies now have runners at first and second.

355
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Their batter is Ted Kizanski, their big tall second baseman, who hits that handed.

356
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Last year, Kizanski batted 211.

357
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Newcomb checks his runners, delivers, curve ball, Kizanski swings, pops it into right field.

358
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:17,000
Coming on for it is Carl Perillo, and the runners huckle back through their bases to hold on.

359
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:26,000
At number two in the second inning, and the batter coming up now will be Robin Roberts, who in winning 19

360
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:32,000
and losing 18 last year, picked up a batting percentage of 200.

361
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:39,000
He had one home run and eight runs batted in.

362
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:45,000
When Roberts went to Michigan State, it was then college, now university.

363
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:52,000
He was a first baseman and was quite a disappointed young man when his college baseball coach

364
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,000
insisted he become a pitcher.

365
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Runners at first and second.

366
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Pitch, two left-hand hitting Roberts, is low and outside.

367
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Call one.

368
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Newcomb gets that again, checks his runners at first and second, delivers,

369
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,000
Roberts swings, hits the ball right back to the mound.

370
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:33,000
Newcomb smothers it, turns and throws over to first base, and the inning is over.

371
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,000
In the second inning, the Phillies pick up one run.

372
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,000
There were three base hits.

373
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,000
There was one L.I. and there were two men left on.

374
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,000
The score at the end of two full innings of play tonight at Connemack Stadium in Philadelphia.

375
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,000
The home-standing Philadelphia Phillies have one.

376
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000
The visiting Brooklyn Dodgers have nothing.

377
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,000
Now before we get to Jerry, let's pause quickly for station identification.

378
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,000
This is the Brooklyn Dodger Radio Network.

379
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:00,000
Dial 1460, WOKO Albany, the capital district's most talked about station

380
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,000
with downtown studios in the Hotel Wellington, 831,

381
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Teen Time Jam away tomorrow night from 8 until 1030.

382
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:14,000
MGM New York.

383
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Well, fans, this is only the beginning for our Dodgers in this opening game business.

384
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:24,000
They've got two more big openers coming up, and these two you folks can enjoy in person.

385
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Opening day Thursday at Ebbets Field, another pennant goes up.

386
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Newcomb-Rees and Drysdale get special honors.

387
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:36,000
National League Championship rings and watches for all of last year's teams.

388
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Everett McCoy sings the national anthem.

389
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,000
The 14th Regiment band entertains with a concert.

390
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Borough President John Cashmore throws out the first ball.

391
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:50,000
Excitement fanfare and your first National League Baseball of 1957.

392
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:54,000
And then on Easter Monday afternoon, Monday, the opener at Jersey City,

393
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,000
music by the Hudson County American Legion Band,

394
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:02,000
national anthem sung by the Jersey City YMCA boys, and a lot of fun over at Jersey.

395
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,000
So let's go back to play here now, and here's Al.

396
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Roy Campanella standing in, hitting right-handed.

397
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Gropich tries a soft curveball and misses with it outside for ball one.

398
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Campanella hit 219 last year, it was a rather disappointing year for Roy.

399
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,000
But it's hoped that he's in A-1 shape now.

400
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,000
He swings on this pitch and hits a high drive to right center field.

401
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Bob Bowman back to the scoreboard, leaps up and holds it down right to the scoreboard.

402
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:37,000
The ball was back, but Bowman was able to get under it.

403
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Oh, one hop, it's off the third inning, that'll bring along Zimmer.

404
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,000
Don Zimmer last year hit 300.

405
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:53,000
And he was sent with the National League Champions, two runs batted in, no home runs.

406
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:58,000
He hit 275 in spring exhibitions and tagged the ball well.

407
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Robert Slivers to him, the pitch is outside for ball one.

408
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Zimmer, right-hand hitter.

409
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,000
If you're keeping score with us tonight, the run,

410
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,000
if it's only picked up in the first inning, is not figured to have been earned.

411
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000
It's an unearned run.

412
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
They lead one-nothing.

413
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Robert Slivers, didn't swing, got to get the hole up,

414
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:23,000
but there's a long drive deep into left center field, a well-hit ball,

415
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:38,000
and it is in the left center field, stands for a home run for Don Zimmer to tie up the ball game.

416
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Boy, that little fellow really leaned in the button.

417
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:46,000
That's the first hit and the first run off Robert.

418
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:53,000
And I can bet you right now, Mr. Doggett, that the fellow cheering the loudest for this kid who just hit that home run is Captain Pee Wee Reek.

419
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Oh, you're right, Al.

420
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,000
Sure is.

421
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:04,000
Don Newcomb, feeling better about the entire thing, thank you, is up there right now.

422
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Roberts comes in to Newcomb, a big left-hand hitter, and he jumps back to take a fast ball, brushing the chest for ball one.

423
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:24,000
So the Dodgers have begun their home runs free, at least what Manager Walter Alston hopes to be a home run free for 1957.

424
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Fast ball to Newcomb is high, in account, it's two balls, no strikes.

425
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:40,000
Well, let's see, prior to the one that was just hit by Don Zimmer, the National League had posted four home runs for their openers today.

426
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:48,000
Thomas hit one for Pittsburgh, Logan hit one for Milwaukee, and Bobby Smith and Wally Moon hit for the St. Louis Cardinals.

427
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:54,000
Right on fast ball, Newcomb tips it from foul.

428
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Big Newcomb's got two balls and one strike.

429
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:04,000
Boy, I bet you the happiest guy in the world is that Don Zimmer sitting down on that bench right now.

430
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,000
He was all grinning ear to ear.

431
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Just as happy as he can be, just as happy as you can be too if you just pour that glass of Schaeffer out and enjoy it and the ball game at the same time.

432
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:26,000
That Schaeffer is a real bear.

433
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,000
Two ball, one strike count.

434
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Robert delivers, Newcomb swings, and Potter's one to center field, Ricky Ashburn going back, Bill going back, reaches up in the night and halts it down.

435
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,000
Two down in the third inning.

436
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,000
The Dodgers, they've scored one time to tie it up.

437
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:50,000
Don Zimmer leaning into one, hitting a home run.

438
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:56,000
We had occasion tonight to ask Don Zimmer in an interview

439
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:02,000
standing in against a fellow who was throwing that fast ball at him, bothered him because of the two beatings he'd previously had.

440
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,000
He said, no, it didn't. He proved it tonight.

441
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Jim Gilliam up there swings on the first pitch and hits a high fly ball to deep right field.

442
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:15,000
Bob Bowman back on the cinder track, halts it in.

443
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,000
All the Dodgers here in the top half, the third inning, tie it up.

444
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,000
One run, one hit. Don Zimmer's home run.

445
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,000
The Dodgers, nobody left on.

446
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,000
The score at the end of two and one half, it's a play.

447
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,000
Here's Kynermack Stadium in Cunhaidulphia.

448
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:35,000
It's the Brooklyn Dodgers one, the home-standing Cunhaidulphia Phillies have one.

449
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:40,000
Well, say, Jerry, what do you think baseball is such a popular sport?

450
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Oh, there are a lot of reasons, Al, but I guess we all add up to one thing.

451
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,000
People enjoy it.

452
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:50,000
You know, you can say the same thing about Schaeffer beer.

453
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,000
There are a lot of reasons why it's good and people really enjoy it.

454
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Oh, sure, it's just pure pleasure made out of the finest natural ingredients,

455
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:04,000
including rich barley malt and the most delectable hot blossoms grown.

456
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,000
And it's made in a slow, careful way by skilled brewmasters.

457
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,000
It's packed with all of Schaeffer's 115 years of experience, too, Jim.

458
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Boy, it's got flavor, man, and that light, dusty, exciting flavor you always want but don't always find.

459
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,000
And no wonder people enjoy it.

460
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,000
It's beer at its best.

461
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,000
So, brother, why don't you join the happy throng?

462
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,000
Try Schaeffer beer.

463
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,000
You'll enjoy it.

464
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,000
You'll always enjoy Schaeffer beer.

465
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,000
It's real beer.

466
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Well, the Dodgers had the long-range artillery going that time against Mr. Robin Roberts.

467
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,000
Two fly balls deep to right, one deep to center,

468
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:48,000
and one lost in the left field stands in a tied-up ball game at one and one.

469
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:55,000
So we're ready to play now on the bottom of the third and right back to Al.

470
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:59,000
In the last half of the third inning, it'll be the lead-out man for the Philadelphia Phillies,

471
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,000
Richie Ashburn starting the second batting goal round.

472
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,000
Ashburn flies the left in the first.

473
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:10,000
The fastball fired to the left-hand hitter is inside off the hips for ball one.

474
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:26,000
The second batting.

475
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,000
Wilcoms set.

476
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,000
Delivers Richie Ashburn, takes the fastball, fired through at the knees,

477
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,000
and is countered with one ball, one strike.

478
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:39,000
Randy Jackson playing up tight at third base.

479
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:43,000
He's guarding against the bunch.

480
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:48,000
That field stands slightly around the left and playing rather shallow.

481
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,000
Newcomb delivers one-one, led a fastball, and hit fast them out on the second base.

482
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:57,000
Gilliam gobbles it up, fires over to first in time, and Richie Ashburn is up.

483
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:01,000
So in the bottom of the third inning, one out for the Phillies,

484
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:08,000
and coming up will be Chico Fernandez, struck out in the first inning for Don Newcomb.

485
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:15,000
Newcomb has two strikeouts, has given up three base hits, has walked nobody.

486
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,000
Roberts has given up one hit and one run. That was Zimmer's home run.

487
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,000
He's walked nobody and has struck out no one so far.

488
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,000
Chico Fernandez, hitting right-handed, takes the fastball,

489
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:30,000
fired through under the letters for strike one.

490
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:44,000
Go balls, one strike.

491
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:48,000
Newcomb takes his shot from Campanella, starts his motion, kicks and throws.

492
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,000
Down it comes, overhand fastball, and hit out the right field.

493
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:57,000
Carl Perla, off to his right, comes up three steps, grabs it.

494
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,000
Two down, last half of the third inning, the batter now is Ed Boucher.

495
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:17,000
The first baseman struck out in the first inning to retire the side.

496
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Ed Boucher standing in, left-hand hitter slightly opens stance down the first baseline.

497
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:31,000
Newcomb pumps once, kicks high and throws a soft curve and floats it right through there for a strike.

498
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:36,000
Newcomb gave him all the motion in the world, no speed whatsoever.

499
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:43,000
Just got it up there.

500
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,000
Two down, last half of the third, no baserunners.

501
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,000
Fills one, the Dodgers one.

502
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:59,000
Sidearm fastball, that's right under the chin, Boucher hits through the dirt.

503
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:07,000
Tomorrow, an open date for the Brooklyn Dodgers, but on Thursday, oh, that's it, opening day at Ebbets Field.

504
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:12,000
Pittsburgh Pirates are in town, they want those Giants today.

505
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:20,000
Let up pitch is low and outside, count of two balls, one strike now, one Boucher.

506
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:26,000
Final score of that ball game was Pittsburgh 9 and New York 2 and Antonelli was the losing pitcher.

507
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:30,000
Antonelli, Grissom, and Jones worked in that one and Bob Friend went all the way for the Pirates.

508
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,000
Thomas hit a home run for the Buccos.

509
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,000
So he got himself started in the right direction too.

510
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:42,000
This is like Zimmer, let up pitch, swung on and foul-tipped.

511
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:48,000
Two balls and two strikes to count on first baseman Boucher and the number three hitter in the Philadelphia order.

512
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:53,000
The bases are empty in the last half of the third inning.

513
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:58,000
Philadelphia drew first blood tonight with an unearned run in the second inning.

514
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:02,000
Zimmer went right back out and got it back for Brooklyn.

515
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:07,000
A field run into the left center field stands.

516
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:12,000
Home run, two-two pitch, Boucher takes home strike three.

517
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,000
Fired right in off the fist.

518
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:20,000
So that's all for Philadelphia in the last half of third inning.

519
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,000
And for Newcomb the third strikeout.

520
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:26,000
Score at the end of three, Philadelphia one and Brooklyn has one.

521
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:31,000
The Milwaukee Braves behind Warren Spahn beat the Chicago Cubs 4-1.

522
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,000
For Milwaukee four runs, eight hits no errors.

523
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,000
And Chicago one run, four hits one error.

524
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:42,000
Reisch, Stratt, Valentinetti for Chicago and Spahn all the way for Milwaukee.

525
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:46,000
Johnny Logan a home run for the Braves and the sixth with one on.

526
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:54,000
And St. Louis, Clobbert, Sintonetti 13-4 as Herm Wehmeyer went all the way against Johnny Klippstein, Fowler, Gross, Freeman.

527
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,000
Bobby Smith a home run and the sixth one on for St. Louis.

528
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,000
Wally Moon on the eighth with two on.

529
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:04,000
And 15-17-0 for St. Louis, 4-8-1 for Cincinnati.

530
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:09,000
In the American League the Yankees beat Washington 2-1, two runs, seven hits one error.

531
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:14,000
For the Yanks and one run, six hits one error for Washington was forward against Stops.

532
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:20,000
And Boston beat Baltimore 4-2, Chicago beat Cleveland 3-2, and Kansas City beat Detroit 2-1.

533
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,000
That's the scores on the Shaper scoreboard now back to play and here again is Al.

534
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:32,000
And then they top half of the fourth inning, Gino Simoli who lines sharply to center field to Richie Ashburn in the first inning comes up for his second at bat in 57.

535
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:37,000
Roberts crossfires him and misses low and outside, football one.

536
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:47,000
Gino Simoli to be followed by Snyder and then by Perillo.

537
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:56,000
Roberts back with an overhand curve ball and Simoli punches at it and pops it back foul.

538
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,000
One ball and one strike on Simoli.

539
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:07,000
The totals at the end of three innings, both from Adelphia one run three hits, no errors for the Dodgers, one run one hit one error.

540
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:11,000
All tied at one apiece.

541
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Gino Simoli, up there is the leadoff man in the fourth.

542
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:22,000
Roberts with a slow curve, middle outside, two balls and one strike.

543
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:30,000
The outfield for Simoli, unless the word has gotten around, they're playing him deeper than they would have played him last year.

544
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:37,000
The 2-1 delivery to Gino, fastball, Gino wraps it, a line shot right into the glass of second base from Kazansky who makes a nice leaping catch.

545
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,000
One out, top half for fourth inning.

546
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Gino Simoli hits the ball well but he's hit it right at somebody. Here's Duke Snyder.

547
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:50,000
The curve is over but low to Duke for ball one.

548
00:48:50,000 --> 00:49:06,000
Snyder retires to the side in the first inning fouling out the third baseman Willie Jones.

549
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:10,000
Swings on the next pitch and fouls it back off Lopata's shin guard.

550
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:14,000
One ball and one strike is the count now on Snyder.

551
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:27,000
Last year Snyder had a grand total of 43 home runs, a hit and 101 runs, about a 2-92 and against Philadelphia hit 2-77.

552
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:32,000
Roberts tries the fastball and misses low and outside to a left hand hitter.

553
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:40,000
Two ball, one strike count on the Duke. One out, top of the fourth, no base runners, all locked up at one apiece.

554
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:44,000
Schaefer Beer, very happy to be sending it to you.

555
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:50,000
From Karnimak Stadium in Philadelphia, Roberts pitches, lead up is high.

556
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:57,000
Snyder's count, three balls and one strike.

557
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:04,000
Thursday the opener at home, then Saturday, that's ladies day, Pittsburgh and Sunday, big double hitter.

558
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,000
Pittsburgh's viral.

559
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,000
It's a swung on by Duke.

560
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:15,000
D.C. Billabee, Snyder swings, there's a line drive over the outstretched rubble of the first base from Fuchsia into the corner.

561
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:20,000
Joe Snyder's digging for second. He tries, he's in there with a double.

562
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,000
A double rips up the right field side.

563
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:29,000
Snyder's on the second base with a second hit off Robin Roberts.

564
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:37,000
That bushy went up as far as he could go. Ball just over his fingertips.

565
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:42,000
The ball hits off Robin Roberts, has an extra base blow.

566
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:47,000
Don Zimmer's home run with one out, nobody on in the third inning.

567
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:51,000
And it was hit with a 40 into the left center field stand.

568
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,000
Now Snyder's ripper up the right field side for two.

569
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:59,000
The batter is called Perillo, who almost hit a home run in the second inning.

570
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,000
Slight deep to left.

571
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:05,000
Roberts ready, delivers, sidearm curve ball and Perillo hammers it out into the right center field.

572
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,000
That could be in the alley into the scoreboard.

573
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,000
It is up against the scoreboard. Perillo's digging for second.

574
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,000
Snyder's loafing around 30, coming on in to score.

575
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:17,000
And it's a two to one ball game in favor of the Dodgers.

576
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,000
Perillo doubles up the alley and right center to the scoreboard.

577
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:25,000
So give him the run battered in.

578
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:29,000
That is hit number three of Roberts.

579
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:39,000
Run number two and the Dodgers lead it, two to one.

580
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,000
With Perillo in pretty good scoring position in second base,

581
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:46,000
Giel Hodges is going to fly ball to center field to Richie Ashburn in the second.

582
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:51,000
Coming up for his second at bat.

583
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,000
Roberts checks Perillo at second, delivers a plate.

584
00:51:53,000 --> 00:52:09,000
Hodges takes the sweeper over for a strike.

585
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,000
Roberts right back with a lead up curve.

586
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,000
That snaps off outside.

587
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,000
Two to one ball and one strike.

588
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,000
That's the count on Hodges.

589
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:29,000
Quite an opener in Philadelphia tonight.

590
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:33,000
The 82nd year of National League players.

591
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,000
Shot arm curve is outside.

592
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:39,000
Ball two, the count on Hodges two and one.

593
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,000
Of course as far as age is concerned,

594
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:46,000
they haven't begun to match up with Schaeffer.

595
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,000
They've been going 115 years.

596
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:54,000
That's real bear too.

597
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,000
That's his oldest son.

598
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:59,000
Side arm curve just outside the Hodges for ball three.

599
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,000
Down the bullpen, got some Philadelphia activity.

600
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:11,000
Got a right hander up there throwing.

601
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:15,000
In the combo Jim Hearn, formerly with the Giants.

602
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,000
Now Roberts ready.

603
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,000
Side arm pack ball and Hodges trots at it

604
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,000
and dribbles it up the third base line foul.

605
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:26,000
Three balls and two strikes.

606
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,000
Two to one the score, the Dodgers lead it.

607
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:33,000
The Philly scored an unearned run in the second.

608
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,000
And the third with one out, nobody on.

609
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,000
Jim are hitting number eight in the Dodger order.

610
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:41,000
The rifle one in the left center field stands to tie it up.

611
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,000
And here in the fourth inning with one out,

612
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:48,000
Snyder doubled down the right field line and Prillo hit him home.

613
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,000
The pitch is hung on the Hodges.

614
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,000
There's a long drive deep in the left field.

615
00:53:51,000 --> 00:54:03,000
It's starting to slice off now and goes foul.

616
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:06,000
Oh yes Mr. Doggett, I would say that when they do get the number

617
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:13,000
on the ball here tonight, they're really spanking it.

618
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,000
Three hits, the Dodgers possess.

619
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,000
All of them extra base flow.

620
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,000
It's a home run and two doubles.

621
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,000
Off Prillo stepping off at second base, one out.

622
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:26,000
Roberts delivers a side arm pitch and Hodges starts to go,

623
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:30,000
checks himself in time and takes the pitch low for ball four.

624
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,000
Oh there's the first free ticket.

625
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:36,000
Roberts tops it up.

626
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:40,000
Two to one favor the Brooklyn Dodgers here in the top half

627
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:41,000
for fourth inning.

628
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:46,000
Randy Jackson hit a ball wide of third and Jones made a nice stop

629
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:47,000
and threw him out.

630
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,000
Jackson is coming up now for his second at bat.

631
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:56,000
One out, runners at first and second.

632
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,000
Campanella on deck to follow.

633
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,000
Roberts in a jam.

634
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,000
Jim Hearn in the Philadelphia bullpen.

635
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:04,000
There's a side arm curve.

636
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:16,000
Jackson laid in there for a strike.

637
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:19,000
Roberts takes his time for Umbo Pata.

638
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,000
Hodges leading off at first, Prillo at second.

639
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:26,000
Side arm press ball is dribbled up the third base line.

640
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,000
Top roller, that's foul.

641
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:34,000
Jones picks it up and fires it back to the mound to Roberts.

642
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:39,000
Old 36, Robin Roberts.

643
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:43,000
Began his organized baseball career in 1948.

644
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:53,000
Wilmington in the interstate league.

645
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,000
Came right up in 48 with some of the other two.

646
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:59,000
Jackson after the next pitch hit the foul ball to the light tower

647
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,000
off the first base side.

648
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,000
It's up on top of the roof.

649
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:12,000
Jackson's counter strike two.

650
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,000
As to this guy, Roberts has been a fixture with the Philadelphia Phillies

651
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,000
since 1948.

652
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,000
He's played in 20 games for them.

653
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,000
He's been grinding them out ever since.

654
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,000
Fires in there and Jackson again dribbles it away,

655
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:28,000
again up the third base side, foul.

656
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:32,000
Downholes right on to Randy, strike two.

657
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,000
Top of the fourth inning, one out.

658
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,000
Schneider doubled down the right field side right along the line

659
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,000
over first base.

660
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,000
And Prillo hit one up the alley and right center to the scoreboard

661
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,000
for a couple and that got Schneider home.

662
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,000
Prillo was on at second.

663
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:54,000
And Hodges is on at first now having been walked on the free two pitch.

664
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,000
Roberts ready, checks up with the runners, delivers.

665
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:05,000
Jackson takes outside for one.

666
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:09,000
Jim Herring continues to crank up down on the sum of the out your bullpen.

667
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:13,000
It isn't too often you see somebody backing up Robin Roberts.

668
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,000
Usually it's Roberts backing up somebody else.

669
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,000
One-two delivery.

670
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:21,000
A low curve ball outside.

671
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:25,000
No matter how you get down to the knee to block it, that's ball two.

672
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,000
Got on Jackson, two balls, two strikes.

673
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:30,000
Two on, number two at bat.

674
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:34,000
And the score is two to one in favor of the Dodgers.

675
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:38,000
Now let's see what Roberts offers up to Jackson, right hand hitter.

676
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,000
The two-two pitch.

677
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,000
Down it comes, Jackson swings on it and pops it up.

678
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:47,000
This one in foul ground off to the left of the plate coming down is Jones.

679
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:52,000
And Jones has it.

680
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:56,000
That's the second Dodger out in the fourth inning.

681
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,000
Dan Lopata could have handled that also, but Jones had a better shot at it

682
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,000
and Lopata kept calling him on to take it.

683
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,000
Jones did.

684
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,000
It's about an Osroy Campanella.

685
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:13,000
Campy spanked the ball well in the third inning, his first time up, hit it deep

686
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:18,000
to the right field and Bowman went wandering back by that high board fence,

687
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:22,000
or rather, high fence going to look bored tonight.

688
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,000
Haul it in.

689
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:29,000
Sweeping curve ball to Campanella is low and outside.

690
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,000
Ball one.

691
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,000
Three hundred and twenty-nine feet down the right field line here.

692
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:40,000
Four hundred and forty-four down the left side. Four forty-seven to center field.

693
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,000
Bigger sized ball park.

694
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:45,000
Roberts delivers, Campanella takes.

695
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:48,000
That pass ball fired through for a strike.

696
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,000
One ball and one strike.

697
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:56,000
To the right side, right center by the forty-two foot scoreboard.

698
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,000
Four hundred and five feet.

699
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:03,000
So the outfielders can roam, particularly the center fielder.

700
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,000
That's a good one by Campy.

701
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,000
One out of it.

702
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:11,000
Royce spinning all the way around, but he didn't get that one.

703
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,000
One ball, two strikes.

704
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,000
The count on Campanella here in the top half of the fourth inning with two downs,

705
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:23,000
two long, one run scored and the Dodgers leading two to one.

706
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,000
Hodges the runner at first, Burlowe the runner at second.

707
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:31,000
Sidearm lit up. One out of it. Strike three.

708
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:37,000
Roberts records his first strike out of the night and gets out of it rather cheaply at that.

709
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,000
One run.

710
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,000
There were two base hits. There were no errors and two men were left on.

711
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:49,000
So at the end of three and one half inning to play, it's the Brooklyn Dodgers two

712
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:53,000
and the home-standing Philadelphia Phillies have one.

713
00:59:53,000 --> 01:00:06,000
End of the last half.

714
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,000
End of the last half, about inning number four.

715
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,000
Rip Rapovsky coming up there.

716
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,000
He's got the first hit off.

717
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,000
He'll come back in the second inning.

718
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,000
He'll do a life at second.

719
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:20,000
When Gilliam dropped the ball for an error,

720
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:24,000
he took the pitch outside on the outside corner for strike one

721
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:34,000
and then came in to score the unearned run when Jones doubled the right field.

722
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:39,000
Rip Rapovsky, right-hand hitter, seems to carry all of his weight on his right leg,

723
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,000
leans into the pitch and swings on it,

724
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,000
brings a high-fly ball into short left center field.

725
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:50,000
Comes over and calls for it, waves Somoli away, and Snyder takes it to the out.

726
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:51,000
Went out.

727
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,000
Last half of the fourth inning.

728
01:00:53,000 --> 01:01:02,000
About an hour's Jones who doubled the right field to drive in, Rip Rapovsky.

729
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:06,000
Willie, who started back in 1947 with para-hoes,

730
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,000
sidearm fastball, swung on, hit down to short, stops in,

731
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:14,000
up with it, fires the first base and that's all for Jones.

732
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:19,000
So everyone is gathered around at Farsna for that station identification.

733
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:22,000
This is a Brooklyn Dodger radio network.

734
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:27,000
Style 1460 WOKO Albany, the capital district's most talked-about station

735
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:30,000
with downtown studios in the Hotel Wellington.

736
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:32,000
It's now 9 o'clock WOKO time.

737
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:39,000
Team time jamboree tomorrow night from 8 until 1030.

738
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:43,000
Labatta to play now with two down, nobody on to Stan Lopata.

739
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:46,000
Right-hand hitter batting from a crouched take to curve,

740
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:51,000
low and outside for ball one.

741
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:53,000
Labatta was a base runner and a second on a fielder's choice

742
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,000
when Zimmer came up with his hard smash at shortstop

743
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:00,000
and fired to Randy Jackson at third base for the tag out

744
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:04,000
and Jones trying to move over to third.

745
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:10,000
The one man nothing delivery to Lopata is taken, low and outside for ball two.

746
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:13,000
We said we'd tell you why we always alerted the boys around the network.

747
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:20,000
I can remember many times going down the hall for a glass of water or something

748
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,000
and all of a sudden somebody's singing through the network,

749
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:29,000
they're lying in queue and well, there was nobody there to make station breaks.

750
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:32,000
The bosses don't seem to like that too well.

751
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:37,000
Labatta curve ball is over the load of Lopata, ball three.

752
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:50,000
Three balls and no strikes.

753
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:55,000
Jerry laughing about that business of the standby identification.

754
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:57,000
I bet you've missed more than one dude, Jerry.

755
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:04,000
Three nothing delivery, a fast ball to Lopata, inside off the chest for ball four.

756
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,000
Now with two down, Lopata has walked.

757
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:11,000
That'll be the first base on balls given up by Newcomb.

758
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:15,000
Beach pitcher and I surrender to base on balls.

759
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:19,000
Bob Bowman, right hand hitting right fielder, comes striding up to the plate.

760
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:22,000
He's got a single wide of third base.

761
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:29,000
Randy Jackson was able to knock it down but he had no play back in the second inning.

762
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:35,000
Bob Bowman, aware of number ten.

763
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:39,000
Newcomb looks over, first base, then fires to the plate.

764
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:48,000
He's fast when he's through there for a strike.

765
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:52,000
This is not the only year Bowman has had a look over by Philadelphia.

766
01:03:52,000 --> 01:04:00,000
You may recall that in 55 he played three games for the Phillies.

767
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:08,000
He was Syracuse for 141 ball games in 55, 56, Miami, and Philadelphia for six games.

768
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:11,000
Swings on his pitch and hits a line drive in the right field.

769
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,000
Perillo comes in to play it on the skip.

770
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:20,000
Bobopata goes to second base and holds on quickly as Perillo's throw comes into Jim Gilliam.

771
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:23,000
Long and a single in the right field.

772
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:29,000
Well, the Phillies are trying to get their way back into this one in the last half of the fourth inning.

773
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:33,000
They have two down, two on, and the batter is Ted Kizansky.

774
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:43,000
Ted's fly to right field in the second inning. He's 0-1 tonight. He's sort of a pesky type.

775
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:49,000
Another product is Sarah Holt, where he started his baseball career in the free-eye league.

776
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:54,000
That was back in 51.

777
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:57,000
Climbed up to Philadelphia in as early as 53.

778
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,000
It's all skinny right-hander.

779
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:04,000
Newcomb delivers a fast ball and hits up inside third down into corner for a base hit.

780
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:06,000
Bobopata comes in to score the tie-up.

781
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:09,000
Somali is up for the ball, throws it into third base.

782
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:14,000
But Foreman slides in there, moving around from first.

783
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,000
On the single to left field.

784
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:24,000
So it's all tied up.

785
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:43,000
Run number five, run number two of Newcomb.

786
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:56,000
Robin Roberts gets a round of applause.

787
01:05:56,000 --> 01:06:00,000
All tied up to a base. Runners are first and third and two down.

788
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:23,000
First pitch to Roberts. Low, ball one.

789
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:32,000
Down comes a pitch to Roberts. Makes it a flow, that's ball two.

790
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:48,000
Another wing ding going here tonight.

791
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:53,000
The ball game has been tied up and the situation has been set up after two were down here in the fourth inning.

792
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,000
Roberts waiting, but do nothing delivery to him.

793
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:58,000
Roberts swings, hits a fly ball deep to right field.

794
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:19,000
Good going back, still going back. That's getting us off the wall.

795
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:45,000
Down in the Brooklyn bullpen, right-hander Don Fetton gets up and starts to work in a hurry.

796
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:52,000
Three runs have been scored here by the Fills in the fourth inning as they come roaring back to take the lead now.

797
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:57,000
Four to two. Four runs on six hits up, Big Newb.

798
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:05,000
The Dodgers two runs on three hits.

799
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,000
Robin Roberts is second.

800
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:09,000
Not the drifty Ashburn.

801
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,000
He's also true tonight.

802
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:32,000
Newcomb ready, delivers a soft curve and Ashburn takes it low inside for ball one.

803
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:36,000
Ashburn right foot forward to the plate, actually ahead of it.

804
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:44,000
Roberts leads off second, Newcomb checks in, delivers a fast ball and Ashburn takes it across at the knees for a strike.

805
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:57,000
One ball and one strike.

806
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:01,000
It's off to the second time in tonight's ball game. The Philadelphia Phillies are leading it.

807
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:04,000
Now four to two in their favor.

808
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:07,000
Newcomb checks up at second, then delivers a soft curve.

809
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:12,000
It slips over the outside twice at the knees for a ball strike two.

810
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:25,000
Ashburn turns around and mumbles something to play down by our dusty buckets.

811
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:28,000
Sixth man have come to bat in the fourth inning.

812
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:32,000
This is the seventh.

813
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:36,000
The Philadelphia Phillies have scored three times.

814
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:38,000
Three base hits.

815
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:47,000
Newcomb fast ball and Ashburn swings on it and lines it down the left field line small.

816
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:52,000
Three hits and a walk mat mixed in there with a fast ball.

817
01:09:52,000 --> 01:10:01,000
And given the Philadelphia Phillies their opportunity, they seize the bonnet and it's now four to two.

818
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:05,000
That's Mayor Smith's charges.

819
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,000
Now the four to two counts.

820
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,000
Let's see if it changes.

821
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,000
Soft curve ball is coming on and lined up to right field.

822
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:14,000
Cruller coming on, makes the grab.

823
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,000
So Ashburn is up.

824
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:19,000
Signing out to Carl Cruller on right field.

825
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:24,000
So three big runs for Philadelphia on three base hits.

826
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,000
There was a man left with no errors.

827
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,000
There was one fast ball.

828
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:31,000
Now the score at the end of four full innings are played.

829
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:34,000
The Philadelphia Phillies have four.

830
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:41,000
The Brooklyn Dodgers have two.

831
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:46,000
Well the first half of this game was brought to you by the F&M Schaeffer Brewing Company of Brooklyn.

832
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:51,000
Brewers of Schaeffer beer, America's oldest lager beer.

833
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:55,000
Now your host for the next five innings will be Lucky Strike.

834
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:58,000
The best tasting cigarette you ever smoked.

835
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:01,000
It's made by the American Tobacco Company.

836
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:05,000
Tobacco is our middle name.

837
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:11,000
Well folks you're going to enjoy baseball a lot more this year at Ebbets Field because of an added attraction.

838
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:16,000
Come on out early and see Emmett Kelly, the world's most famous circus clown.

839
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,000
And now the newest Dodger pumps.

840
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:22,000
You'll get a terrific bang out of the circus gag he pulls at Ebbets Field.

841
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:26,000
Perhaps you'll meet him personally as he roams around the stands.

842
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:29,000
He's a great guy and one of the top comedians of our time.

843
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:35,000
Silence Emmett Kelly and his final portal of the sad, forlorn, unwanted circus punk.

844
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:51,000
Well he'll beat the Dodger home game at Ebbets Field in Jersey City.

845
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:53,000
And now we'll see the Dodger's training in this one.

846
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:55,000
They come to bat in the top half of the fifth inning.

847
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:58,000
It'll be a little Don Zimmer stepping up there, stepping up to the microphone.

848
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,000
Boy Lucky Strike into the play-by-play.

849
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,000
Here's Gary Dawkins.

850
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:04,000
Thanks Al and hi again everyone.

851
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:06,000
Zimmer steps in, had a home run last time.

852
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,000
First pitch is full on dribble up the third base line, bounces foul.

853
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:14,000
Played by Jones and it's just a long strike for Zimmer.

854
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:20,000
Little Don making his big league debut tonight with a home run in the lower stands in the third inning.

855
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:29,000
The Dodgers four and the, or two and the Phillies four and the Phillies got three runs in that fourth inning off Dianukum.

856
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:34,000
And the Dodgers were real busy against Robin Roberts in the top half of the fourth.

857
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:38,000
But left two men stranded.

858
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:43,000
The Phillies got their runs in that fourth after two outs.

859
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,000
Zimmer back with a strike one count.

860
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:50,000
Dianukum on deck and then Jim Gilliam to follow.

861
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:53,000
Fine crowd on hand tonight at Philadelphia.

862
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:57,000
Robbins delivers and it's a little on the outside corner.

863
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,000
It's the corner for a called strike.

864
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:02,000
And on Zimmer it's nothing and two.

865
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:06,000
Robin Roberts on the firing line for the Philadelphia Phillies.

866
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:10,000
Jones, Fernandez, Kuzanski, and Boussie the infielders.

867
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:13,000
Zaboski, Ashford, and Blomman in the outfield.

868
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:17,000
There's a curve ball up high and it's ball one strike two.

869
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:24,000
One and two to Zimmer.

870
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,000
The Phillies now have six base hits.

871
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:30,000
The Dodgers have three.

872
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:33,000
The one-two pitch on the way.

873
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:38,000
Outside again with a fast ball and the count even to two-two.

874
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:49,000
Two balls, two strikes.

875
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:55,000
Number 23, shortstop Don Zimmer.

876
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:57,000
Down it comes.

877
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:01,000
Curve ball misses again and the count goes full now, three and two.

878
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:05,000
So the string is out to Zimmer.

879
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:08,000
Jim Gilliam is in the on deck circle off to the right side.

880
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:10,000
Newcomb is due next.

881
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:20,000
The Dodgers occupy the dugout back of first.

882
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:22,000
Here's the pitch to Jim.

883
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:26,000
Outside ball four and Zimmer is on with a walk.

884
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:31,000
And that is the second walk given up by Robin Roberts.

885
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:34,000
So the Dodgers have one on, nobody out and Don Newcomb

886
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,000
comes up out of the dugout.

887
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:47,000
Don hit one deep to center field last time.

888
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:49,000
Don Newcomb, number 36.

889
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,000
On the mound Robin Roberts.

890
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:58,000
Likewise, number 36.

891
01:14:58,000 --> 01:14:59,000
Newcomb swings left.

892
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:02,000
Roberts also swings left and Roberts drove in two big runs

893
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:08,000
with a double to the right field wall in the bottom of the fourth.

894
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,000
Four to two, the field's lead.

895
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:11,000
Newcomb waiting.

896
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:13,000
Runner on first, Zimmer moves off.

897
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:14,000
Here's the pitch.

898
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,000
Going to drive to right field.

899
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:18,000
It's going to be in for a base hit.

900
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:19,000
Going over to cover it off.

901
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:22,000
Here's Zimmer digging for third and is in standing as Newcomb

902
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:24,000
rips the single to right field.

903
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:28,000
And the Dodgers now are trying to get something going.

904
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:31,000
Don Newcomb is first hit for the Dodgers base hit number four.

905
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:38,000
Runner's on at first and third and up now will be Jim Gilliam.

906
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:41,000
Gilliam has flat out twice to right field of Bob Bowman

907
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:45,000
and both times fairly deep.

908
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:50,000
Gilliam steps in with two on.

909
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:51,000
Nobody out.

910
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:54,000
Top of the fifth inning.

911
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:57,000
Gilliam's got one in the second and three in the fourth,

912
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:01,000
but Dodgers got one in the third and one in the fourth.

913
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:05,000
Roberts checks the sign now with catcher Stan Losada.

914
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:09,000
Newcomb off first, Zimmer off third, and here's the pitch to Gilliam.

915
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:10,000
Pull on him.

916
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:17,000
Let's strike one.

917
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:24,000
Robin Roberts has one strike out of walk to and is allowed four base hits.

918
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:29,000
Sitting doubles for Snyder and Furlough and a homerun by Zimmer.

919
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,000
Here's a drive to right for a base hit.

920
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:32,000
Zimmer into score.

921
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:35,000
Newcomb goes to second base to turn and holds on there

922
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:40,000
as the Dodgers now pull up a little closer to four to three.

923
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:42,000
Gilliam slapping a single to right field.

924
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:44,000
His first hit of the game.

925
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:47,000
Newcomb into second base.

926
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:50,000
Zimmer across the score the third Brooklyn run.

927
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:56,000
And again Jim Hearn gets busy on the bullpen for Philadelphia down in left field.

928
01:16:56,000 --> 01:17:11,000
Up now will be Gino Tremoli and Stan Losada goes to the mound to have a talk with Robin Roberts.

929
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:16,000
Jake Settler talking to Gilliam at the first base bag.

930
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:24,000
And Billy Herman standing alongside the third base coaching box saying something out to Don Newcomb.

931
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:26,000
And now we'll see how the colors are going to play it.

932
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:32,000
Lucy and Jones on the corners move in now expecting a bump from Tremoli.

933
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:37,000
Newcomb at second, Gilliam at first, edge off to pitch to Gino, butted foul at the plate,

934
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:38,000
right in the batter's box.

935
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:43,000
Don't fire a dusty bag that picks it up and fires it back out.

936
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:49,000
Go to strike one to Gilly, to Tremoli, Gilliam at first and Newcomb is at second.

937
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:52,000
Tremoli lined out the center and lined out the second.

938
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:55,000
So he's none for two in tonight's game.

939
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:58,000
And the Phillies looking for the bunt.

940
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:04,000
First and third, second and close, the pitch hung on and fouled up from the wire.

941
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:11,000
And it's strike two as Gino had a cut that time and drilled her back foul.

942
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:15,000
So now Jones, the third, and Boushey at first will back up.

943
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:19,000
Fernandez and Kuzansky play a double play-off that's short and second.

944
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:24,000
And the outfield is around to the left of it and deep against Tremoli.

945
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:29,000
Gino's got a very fine spring and a very determined effort as one in the left field job,

946
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,000
at least for the present.

947
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:32,000
Here's the O2 look.

948
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:41,000
Roberts delivers high and inside the ball on the count one and two to Tremoli.

949
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:49,000
On deck is Snyder in the hole for Rillo.

950
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:51,000
Four to three.

951
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:55,000
Phillies lead and the Dodgers have the tying run on at second.

952
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:58,000
The lead run is at first.

953
01:18:58,000 --> 01:18:59,000
Roberts with the stretch and the look.

954
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:04,000
Here's the pitch to Tremoli, breaking ball down and outside and it's ball two.

955
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:10,000
Even up now at two and two.

956
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:14,000
Two balls, two strikes.

957
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,000
Tremoli a right end batter.

958
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:23,000
Has a close stance, the front foot pointed a little bit toward first.

959
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:24,000
Two-two offering.

960
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:29,000
Tremoli a drill right back to the middle for a base hit.

961
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,000
Newcombe turns third, heads home and here's the fill coming in.

962
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:33,000
It'll be not in time.

963
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,000
And on the play Tremoli goes to second.

964
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:36,000
Gilliam to third.

965
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:39,000
The ball game is tied.

966
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:42,000
As Tremoli rips the ground ball right back through the box.

967
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:46,000
Newcombe around third and the score from second base on the play.

968
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:48,000
Gilliam wants the third and on the throw to the plate.

969
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:51,000
Tremoli down to second.

970
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:54,000
The ball is going to be a little bit more.

971
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:57,000
He's got a brand new one going here and Duke Snatter is that.

972
01:19:57,000 --> 01:20:09,000
With two on and nobody out for the Dodgers in the fifth inning.

973
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:13,000
Go for Tremoli a base hit or run battered in.

974
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:19,000
And a four-four ball game with Snatter coming on.

975
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:22,000
And a four-four down in the bullpen for the Philadelphia Phillies.

976
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:27,000
And Lucky Strike sending you all the action from Cuddymash Stadium in Philadelphia.

977
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:32,000
And Duke Snatter is going to get an intentional loss.

978
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:45,000
The fans start raising a howl about that.

979
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:54,000
That's where the fans really let up a real howl as the Trenors go purposely fast.

980
01:20:54,000 --> 01:21:07,000
And that will be the third walk given up by Robin Roberts.

981
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:10,000
Base is loaded now.

982
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:16,000
Snatter purposely fast to load him up and it brings on Ferullo who doubled to the scoreboard

983
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:24,000
and right center and drove in a run in the fourth inning.

984
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:26,000
Roberts in a jam.

985
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:32,000
Dodgers have two in and three on and none out.

986
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:35,000
Ferullo had a real fine spring and has one for two tonight.

987
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:40,000
It's going to be a long five ball to right center field.

988
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:41,000
Ripping over for it at Dysbren.

989
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:42,000
Runners are tagged.

990
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:47,000
Here's the grab and in the score comes Gilliam going to third and down to second.

991
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:49,000
Out of second base is Snatter.

992
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:52,000
So the third not in time for Tremoli.

993
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:57,000
All the runners were moving and Snatter is caught in the trap going into second base.

994
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:01,000
Dysbren's throw came to Ted Kuzminski for the tag out there.

995
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:07,000
So Ferullo sacrificed five, gets in a run but it also gets Snatter going to second.

996
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:10,000
Dodgers lead five to four.

997
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:16,000
Tremoli in the third on the play and across the plate to score with Jim Gilliam.

998
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:17,000
No play was made on Gilliam.

999
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:20,000
The play was made on Snatter.

1000
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:23,000
So give Ferullo a sacrifice five.

1001
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:27,000
And how about that Alan, an RBI for a double play?

1002
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:29,000
On that case yes.

1003
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:34,000
Double play for the Fills, eight to four.

1004
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:39,000
One of the few rare instances when a batter can get a run battered in for a double play ball.

1005
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:43,000
Sacrifice five by Ferullo and Snatter out going to second.

1006
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:47,000
Center field to Richie Ispren to the second base from Ted Kuzminski.

1007
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:51,000
Tremoli on third.

1008
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:53,000
And the pitch to Hodges.

1009
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:54,000
Strike one.

1010
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:55,000
Roberts deals again.

1011
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:58,000
Gilliam checks up but it's ball one.

1012
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:01,000
Even up now one-one.

1013
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:07,000
Three runs in and the Dodgers lead five-four.

1014
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:11,000
Long fly ball to right center by Ferullo and everybody tried to advance.

1015
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:15,000
Snatter was out going into second.

1016
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:17,000
Here's the one-one pitch to Hodges.

1017
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:18,000
Low and outside.

1018
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:19,000
Ball two.

1019
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:23,000
Two and one.

1020
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:26,000
Tremoli at third.

1021
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:33,000
Double play, Brooklyn batting in the fifth.

1022
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:35,000
The hits in the game were all even now.

1023
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:36,000
That's six a piece.

1024
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:38,000
They run five-four Dodgers.

1025
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:40,000
The pitch.

1026
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:47,000
Roll foul off to the left out of play and it's turned to on Gill Hodges.

1027
01:23:47,000 --> 01:24:09,000
Jackson on Beck and Roy camping under the follow so they can keep it going.

1028
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,000
Line up and pitch.

1029
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:25,000
Up high, outside, ball free, a full count now to Hodges.

1030
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:27,000
Gill waiting.

1031
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,000
Tremoli wandering off third a few steps.

1032
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:31,000
The pitch then is four on him.

1033
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:32,000
Strike three.

1034
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:36,000
Dropped by Lopato but he tags Hodges in time for the out.

1035
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:39,000
So Roberts gets his second strike out.

1036
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:41,000
And the Dodgers go down in the fifth inning.

1037
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:45,000
They show three runs on three bases.

1038
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:48,000
No errors and add one man left.

1039
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:54,000
So at the end of the top of the fifth inning the score, the Dodgers five, the Phillies have four.

1040
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:58,000
Well, fans, here's a word picture of real smoking enjoyment.

1041
01:24:58,000 --> 01:24:59,000
Yes, sir.

1042
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:03,000
All it takes is you, your lighter, and a lucky.

1043
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:05,000
Then light up.

1044
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:11,000
Man, you'll find there's nothing like a lucky because it's all cigarettes, all fine tobacco,

1045
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:16,000
mild, naturally good tasting tobacco that's supposed to taste even better.

1046
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:17,000
Try a pack of lucky.

1047
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:20,000
Better yet, make it a carton.

1048
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:22,000
One thing's for sure.

1049
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:29,000
You'll say it's the best tasting cigarette you ever smoked.

1050
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:35,000
Light up a lucky. It's light up time.

1051
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:42,000
Be happy. Go lucky. It's light up time.

1052
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:46,000
For the taste that you like.

1053
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:50,000
Light up a lucky strike.

1054
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:57,000
You'll say it's the best tasting cigarette you ever smoked.

1055
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:03,000
Well, everybody, we're very happy tonight to be able to salute our honor hospital,

1056
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:10,000
the VA hospital at Sun Mountain, New York, with a quota of 10,000 free luckies being earmarked for them

1057
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:12,000
and some of the near marks.

1058
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:14,000
We've had a home run. We've had a double play.

1059
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:16,000
So the ball had already been started.

1060
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:19,000
Fellas and gals, it's hang right on. More coming.

1061
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:21,000
More play by play, too, and here's Jere.

1062
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:26,000
Chico Fernandez first batter up to be followed by Ed Boucher and then Rip Raposte.

1063
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:30,000
Newcomb delivers and Chico takes it up high, ball one.

1064
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:35,000
Fernandez is struck out and flying to right in two trips tonight.

1065
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:38,000
Five to four, Dodgers lead, each side with six base hits.

1066
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:41,000
The Phillies get three hits in the second and three more in the fourth.

1067
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:49,000
Dodgers get one hit in the second, two in the third, two in the fourth, and three in the fifth.

1068
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:52,000
Here's a fastball for a strike on the outside corner.

1069
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:56,000
Here's to Fernandez, one and one.

1070
01:26:56,000 --> 01:27:02,000
Chico hitting in the number two spot.

1071
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:06,000
And is destined, of course, to become the regular shortstop for Philadelphia,

1072
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:12,000
getting the opening night bid here.

1073
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:14,000
One-one, wind up and pitch.

1074
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:18,000
Foul ball straight back on the count goes to one and two.

1075
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:22,000
Has a fine crowd on hand tonight at County Mac Stadium in Philadelphia,

1076
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:27,000
and this could be an opening night, opening day attendance record for Philadelphia.

1077
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:37,000
The previous record was 29,074 set in 1950 in a ballgame with the Dodgers.

1078
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:40,000
And we don't see too many empty seats here tonight.

1079
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:43,000
Here's a foul ball upstairs off to the right,

1080
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:48,000
with a count on Fernandez stays at a ball and two strikes.

1081
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:57,000
So just to remind you to be out Thursday when the Dodgers open up against the Pirates

1082
01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:02,000
that have a field Thursday afternoon.

1083
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:05,000
Big Don winds and fires.

1084
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:07,000
A roller hit off the third baseline.

1085
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:09,000
Newt comes up with it.

1086
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:14,000
Not in time, Fernandez legs it out for a base hit.

1087
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:19,000
Long and captive along the third baseline, and before Newcomb could make the play,

1088
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:21,000
Fernandez had his feet out.

1089
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:27,000
So Chico, who is very fast, legs one out, hits number seven for Philadelphia,

1090
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:31,000
and he brings on Ed Boushie, the first baseman.

1091
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:33,000
He has struck out twice.

1092
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:35,000
Left hand hitter.

1093
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:39,000
Newcomb has three strikeouts and Roberts has two.

1094
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:41,000
Newcomb has walked one, Roberts has walked three.

1095
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:46,000
One of those was an intentional fast slider.

1096
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:50,000
So the Phillies now come right back in the fifth inning and put the tying run on.

1097
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:54,000
It's Fernandez dribbles in up the third baseline for a base hit.

1098
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:56,000
Newcomb now out of a stretch delivers.

1099
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,000
Passball comes in tight.

1100
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:04,000
Ball one to Boushie.

1101
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:15,000
Rip Leposki is on deck with Willie Jones down in the hole.

1102
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:17,000
Now again, Newcomb ready.

1103
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:20,000
Eyes Chico at first.

1104
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:23,000
Bichit's pulling and dribbling along the right field line for a base hit.

1105
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,000
Fair ball into the bullpen.

1106
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:29,000
Fernandez coming around second, heads for third, around third, and in the score,

1107
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:31,000
Lucina heads for third.

1108
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:46,000
The relay from Gilliam is not in time and the ball game is tied up.

1109
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:52,000
Ed Boushie building a line drive down the right field line, fair ball about two feet.

1110
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:56,000
Then it's peeled off into the Dodger bullpen and before Ferilla can make the play,

1111
01:29:56,000 --> 01:30:02,000
Boushie has come around to third and Fernandez has scored a tie up.

1112
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:11,000
Now the go-ahead run is the third and Hodges comes over to the mound to talk to Don Newcomb.

1113
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:19,000
Hit number eight for Philadelphia and Don Besson now gets busy again on the Dodger bullpen down in the right field.

1114
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:26,000
Rip Rapulski will be up, Willie Jones to follow and Stan LaFont after that.

1115
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:31,000
So Roberts and Newcomb having a little tough time driving here tonight.

1116
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:38,000
Big Don, wide and fires, infield in a pop foul, back over the top, strike one.

1117
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:47,000
The entire infield with the exception of Zimmer playing it upside and Don lays back about three steps.

1118
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:56,000
Strike one count on Rapulski and this is now able to develop into a real old-fashioned scoring bee here tonight.

1119
01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:59,000
Newcomb, wide and fires.

1120
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:05,000
Pull on a miss, strike two.

1121
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:16,000
Rip Rapulski to clean up batter and left fielder.

1122
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:22,000
Strike two count, Dodger infield up tight and rolled the runner at third.

1123
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:27,000
Ed Boushie who triples to drive in Fernandez and fire up.

1124
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:30,000
Big Don, wide and fires to Rapulski.

1125
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:33,000
Fastball is outside, ball one.

1126
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:40,000
One and two.

1127
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:45,000
One ball, two strikes.

1128
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:48,000
Very enthusiastic crowd here tonight at County Mac Stadium.

1129
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:55,000
They're really whooping it up.

1130
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:58,000
Now the one-two pitch.

1131
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:11,000
Just look at that side and the county even gets going too.

1132
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:22,000
Don Bechman firing away on the Dodger bullpen in right field.

1133
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:25,000
The two-two pitch to Rapulski.

1134
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:32,000
Drop foul off to the left of the plate and the count stays there at two and two.

1135
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:39,000
Dodger's five, totally spying at County Mac Stadium in Philadelphia.

1136
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:50,000
Roberts against Newcomb and the hitters so far have dominated the ballgame up to this point.

1137
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:52,000
Here's the windup and the two-two pitch.

1138
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:54,000
Bull running, stop foul again at the plate.

1139
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:58,000
Campanova picks it up.

1140
01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:05,000
Newcomb retired the first three men to base him and then was tied for a base hit and a run in the second.

1141
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:11,000
Roberts retired the first seven men before Zimmer hit a home run to tie it up.

1142
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:16,000
And from that point on, the hitters have taken over.

1143
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:21,000
Newcomb had a one-two-three inning in the third.

1144
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:23,000
Here's the two-two pitch.

1145
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:25,000
Change up, bounce to third.

1146
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:27,000
Jackson up with it, holds the runner.

1147
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:29,000
Throws to first in time and it's one away.

1148
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:33,000
Rapulski bounces out third to first.

1149
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:35,000
Now it will be Willie Jones.

1150
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:37,000
He doubled in the second, rounded out in the fourth.

1151
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:42,000
And while Willie steps in, we'll take a few seconds for station identification.

1152
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:45,000
This is the Brooklyn Dodger Radio Network.

1153
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:53,000
Dial 1460 WOKO Albany, the Capital District's most talked about station with downtown studios in the Hotel Wellington.

1154
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:57,000
933 WOKO time.

1155
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:02,000
Team time jamboree tomorrow night from 8 until 1030.

1156
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:05,000
Willie Jones up and in.

1157
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:07,000
One for two tonight.

1158
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:10,000
And the Dodgers play it up close again with one out.

1159
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:12,000
Newcomb goes to the lineup and delivers.

1160
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:17,000
Passball outside, all one.

1161
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:23,000
Atfield stated to the left now against the right-hand batter.

1162
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:25,000
Infield up close, Gilliam back a couple steps.

1163
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:28,000
And Zimmer at third is back about three steps, rather at short.

1164
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:31,000
And Jackson at third is back about two.

1165
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:34,000
So they give a little against Jones.

1166
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:40,000
Newcomb delivers low and it's ball through.

1167
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:45,000
Five-five score, bottom of the fifth inning.

1168
01:34:45,000 --> 01:35:00,000
And the Phils and the Dodgers have an edit on opening night.

1169
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:03,000
Newcomb into the lineup and down it comes.

1170
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:05,000
Curveball, top-draught foul.

1171
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:07,000
That is the plate, Campanella grabs it.

1172
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:17,000
And it's two balls, one strike.

1173
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:21,000
Two and one.

1174
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:25,000
As far as the eye can see, the fans in this ballpark all the way around.

1175
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:29,000
Looks like a real capacity crowd.

1176
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:31,000
Here's the two-one pitch.

1177
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:35,000
Ground ball hit back behind second through the middle for a play-six.

1178
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:37,000
The runners end the Phils lead.

1179
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:42,000
Jones makes a big turn and holds up now with a single to center.

1180
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:48,000
Ground ball just beyond the outstretched glove of Don Zimmer.

1181
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:55,000
We see in the score, and it's now six to five Phils, Jones at first base with a single.

1182
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:59,000
And Stan LaFatta comes on.

1183
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:04,000
That is hit number nine off Dan Newcomb, three this inning.

1184
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:10,000
A little older by Fernandez to start it, a triple by Boussé and a ground single by Jones up the middle.

1185
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:12,000
Stan LaFatta up, there's nothing for one tonight.

1186
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:17,000
It's a one-shorter run, was on on a field of choice.

1187
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:20,000
So LaFatta at bat, one out here in the fifth inning.

1188
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:22,000
Newcomb with a stretch in the pitch.

1189
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:25,000
Third ball, high five ball to the short left.

1190
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:26,000
Zimmer backs up.

1191
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:27,000
Somoli comes on.

1192
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:30,000
Zimmer waves him off and has it for the up.

1193
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:34,000
So LaFatta pops out to Zimmer in short left field, two away.

1194
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:38,000
And here's Bob Bowman, the rookie right fielder who's at two for two.

1195
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:46,000
And a nice game and a scored one run.

1196
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:49,000
So with two out, Jones on first.

1197
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:59,000
The Pills lead six to five.

1198
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:03,000
Now the stretch by Big Newcomb and the pitch to the plate.

1199
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:05,000
Curve ball is in for a strike.

1200
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:10,000
Newcomb has been slowing up a bit in the last couple of hitters,

1201
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:19,000
leaving the fast ball and going to the breaking stuff.

1202
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:24,000
Strike one on Bowman, right hand batter.

1203
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:25,000
Stretch again, but down on the pitch.

1204
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:28,000
Fast ball there, it's locked to right field.

1205
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:30,000
Furlough on his tack, moves in two steps now,

1206
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:33,000
bounds the glove but he has it and the side is retired.

1207
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:37,000
So for the Pills in the fifth inning, there were two runs picked up.

1208
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:41,000
On three they hit, no errors and they left one man on.

1209
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:47,000
So at the end of five, the score, the Phillies six, the Dodgers five.

1210
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:50,000
Well, we've had five innings of play in this one tonight.

1211
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:52,000
And here are your totals.

1212
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:54,000
For Brooklyn, five runs six hits one error.

1213
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:57,000
For the Phillies, six runs nine hits no error.

1214
01:37:57,000 --> 01:37:59,000
Randy Jackson to the plate to start the six.

1215
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:01,000
All right, Jerry, ready to go.

1216
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:03,000
Randy is over two tonight.

1217
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:07,000
And Robin Roberts on the firing line, but well,

1218
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:29,000
he's going to have a conference now with catcher Stan Lopata.

1219
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:33,000
And as Jackson is outside high, ball one.

1220
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:39,000
Randy over two, Kemp and Alondick and then Don Zimmer to follow.

1221
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:42,000
And a six to five ball game through the first five.

1222
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:46,000
Third ball, Mrs. Low, and it's ball two.

1223
01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:54,000
Two and nothing.

1224
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:56,000
Two-oh count.

1225
01:38:56,000 --> 01:39:00,000
Robin Roberts set the pitch to Jackson.

1226
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:03,000
And the fastball finds the strike zone on the outside corner.

1227
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:05,000
It's two and one.

1228
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:12,000
Two balls, one strike.

1229
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:13,000
Robin Roberts ready.

1230
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:14,000
Jackson waiting.

1231
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:16,000
Two on pitch.

1232
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:18,000
Pull in and bounce to shortstop.

1233
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:19,000
Big hop to Fernandez.

1234
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:21,000
Long throw is in time.

1235
01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:23,000
One away.

1236
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:28,000
Jackson bounces out, short to first.

1237
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:31,000
And it brings on Roy Campanella.

1238
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:36,000
Right out deep to right and struck out in two tries.

1239
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:40,000
Nine hits for Philadelphia and six hits for the Dodgers.

1240
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:43,000
And one error in the ball game, Jim Gilliam.

1241
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:51,000
Drops the throw from Campanella on Rapulki in the second inning.

1242
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:56,000
Rapulki later scored in what was an unearned run.

1243
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:58,000
Now Roberts ready to go to Campy.

1244
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:03,000
Foul ball coming back upstairs and this one is just under the press box.

1245
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:07,000
Strike one on Campanella.

1246
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:11,000
Very fine vantage point here at Philadelphia.

1247
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:14,000
Under the roof, looking right down on the home plate,

1248
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:18,000
with an angle off on the first face line, looking down the line.

1249
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:22,000
Rapulki takes a high curve outside and it's ball one.

1250
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:25,000
One ball, one strike to Campanella.

1251
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:28,000
Zimmer on deck and then Newcomb to follow.

1252
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:33,000
The game is in the sixth inning.

1253
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:38,000
The pitch is fouled off and here comes one up our way, but it's on top.

1254
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:42,000
And hits the edge of the roof and goes bouncing back downstairs.

1255
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:47,000
So it is one and two on Campanella.

1256
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:55,000
One and two the count.

1257
01:40:55,000 --> 01:41:01,000
Here's one right here and bang, just missed.

1258
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:05,000
Foul ball, Campanella chopping one up here.

1259
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:10,000
Well, we'd kind of like to get that opening day of baseball souvenir from County Mac Stadium.

1260
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:16,000
So Mr. Campy, bring it over here about ten feet.

1261
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:18,000
Here's the pitch.

1262
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:20,000
Strike three.

1263
01:41:20,000 --> 01:41:23,000
Campy went over, tried to check his swing, the ball tipped off,

1264
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:28,000
the bat was held on by Lafatta and it's a strike out for Roberts.

1265
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:32,000
Campanella down on strikes on a foul tip actually.

1266
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:36,000
And for Roberts, strike out number three.

1267
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:43,000
And Tiredusty Vargas gave the foul tip sign very quickly.

1268
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:50,000
The signs dimmer up now, Holman on the walk and Zip the score twice tonight.

1269
01:41:50,000 --> 01:42:00,000
Foul ball hit off to the right and it is the Dodger dugout on the first base guide, strike one.

1270
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:05,000
The Philly is sixth and the Dodger is five.

1271
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:10,000
Robin Roberts firing them in.

1272
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:13,000
37,657.

1273
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:16,000
We're going to miss for Zimmer strike two.

1274
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:20,000
So we were close to a record but not quite.

1275
01:42:20,000 --> 01:42:23,000
Wait a minute, over a record, way over it.

1276
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:25,000
37,000, the record was 29.

1277
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:28,000
I'll see what he says.

1278
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:30,000
Well, there's a real fine job.

1279
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:32,000
That's well over capacity.

1280
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:35,000
Here's a dry foul down the left field line.

1281
01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:42,000
37,667, the previous record was 29,074.

1282
01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:49,000
So that's a new record by 8,000 plus.

1283
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:51,000
Fine crowd for the opener tonight.

1284
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:53,000
Here's the pitch.

1285
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:55,000
Then swings in with the strike three.

1286
01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:56,000
Down he goes.

1287
01:42:56,000 --> 01:42:58,000
Badly tied.

1288
01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:01,000
Strike out number four for Robin Roberts.

1289
01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:05,000
So for the Dodgers in the sixth inning, free up, free down.

1290
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:09,000
No runs, no hits, no errors, and none left on.

1291
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:13,000
So that's the end of the top of the sixth inning of the score and the ball game,

1292
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:19,000
the Philadelphia Philly sixth, and the Brooklyn Dodgers have five.

1293
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:27,000
Well stepping up the streak is no other than that baseball great and renowned Brooklyn backstop, Mr. Roy Campanella.

1294
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:30,000
You know what two questions folks ask me most?

1295
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:34,000
First is who's the fastest pitcher I've ever caught?

1296
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:37,000
That's easy, Don Newcomb.

1297
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:39,000
That man is really quick.

1298
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:43,000
The second question is do you really smoke Lucky's?

1299
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:44,000
Of course I do.

1300
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:47,000
And do you know why I smoke them?

1301
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:49,000
Because Lucky's tastes better.

1302
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:52,000
That's all there is to it.

1303
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:54,000
Well said, Mr. Campanella.

1304
01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:56,000
Makes sense.

1305
01:43:56,000 --> 01:44:02,000
Because Lucky's is a genuine cigarette, all cigarettes, all fine tobacco,

1306
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:07,000
naturally good tasting tobacco that's toasted to taste even better.

1307
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:12,000
Take the signal from Roy Campanella and declare a light up sign.

1308
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:22,000
Be happy, go Lucky, right now.

1309
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:27,000
Well as we go to the last of the sixth inning it will be Ted Kavinsky, Robin Roberts, and Richie Eispern

1310
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:48,000
do up there to face Don Newcomb in a six to five ball game going into Philadelphia.

1311
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:58,000
Okay, Kavinsky up one for two and Big Don ready to fire.

1312
01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:00,000
The lineup and the first pitch.

1313
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:02,000
Over for a call strike one.

1314
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:13,000
Good pass ball in the outside corner.

1315
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:22,000
And ready again gets signed from his teammate Roy Campanella and the pitch to Kavinsky.

1316
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:26,000
Up high outside for ball and the count goes one-one.

1317
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:30,000
Jackson came charging in from third that time.

1318
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:36,000
Halfway expecting Kavinsky to try to punt.

1319
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:38,000
One-on-one.

1320
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:41,000
Big Don rocks and fires.

1321
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:46,000
No curve with upstairs and it's ball two, two and one.

1322
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:51,000
Jackson, Zimmer, Gilliam and Hodges on the infield.

1323
01:45:51,000 --> 01:46:02,000
Somali, Snyder, and Perillo in the Dodger outfield from left to right.

1324
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:06,000
The attendance tonight is somewhat over capacity of the ballpark.

1325
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:09,000
Here's the ground ball backhanded by Jackson at third.

1326
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:12,000
By the first that's in time, nice play by Randy Jackson.

1327
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:15,000
Hard smash down there by Ted Kavinsky.

1328
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:21,000
And Randy just wheeled over and backhanded her and made the play.

1329
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:31,000
The all-time record in the Philadelphia ballpark was 40,720 against Brooklyn in 1947 for a double header.

1330
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:37,000
Night game record 40,000 against Cincinnati in 1946.

1331
01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:44,000
And a single day game record 36,765 against Pittsburgh.

1332
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:47,000
Here's Roberts coming on and gets a nice hand as he steps in.

1333
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:52,000
Robin helps him stuff in the fourth inning with a double to drive in two runs.

1334
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:55,000
So Robin Roberts up now swinging from the left side.

1335
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:57,000
Newcomb goes into the windup band.

1336
01:46:57,000 --> 01:46:58,000
Down it comes.

1337
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:03,000
A bouncer foul trickles off toward the Dodger bow dug out and it's strike one.

1338
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:19,000
A rear-fired opening night crowd here at Philadelphia PA.

1339
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:23,000
There's a long fly ball, a high fly ball to center rather.

1340
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:24,000
Zimmer going out.

1341
01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:29,000
In for it comes Somoley in left center and he's got it for the out.

1342
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:38,000
Roberts out on a high pop fly into short left center picked off by Geno Somoley.

1343
01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:39,000
Here's Ashburn coming up now.

1344
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:42,000
Ritchie is 0-3 in the night's game.

1345
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:46,000
Line to left, down to the second, line to right.

1346
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:50,000
Ashburn, nothing for three.

1347
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:54,000
Nine hits for the Fills, six hits for the Dodgers.

1348
01:47:54,000 --> 01:48:03,000
And a six to five ball game in the bottom of the sixth inning.

1349
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:05,000
Here's the pitch.

1350
01:48:05,000 --> 01:48:19,000
Fastball high inside, ball one.

1351
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:24,000
Newcomb checks the sign from Campanella.

1352
01:48:24,000 --> 01:48:25,000
Ashburn waits.

1353
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:30,000
Curveball is in and over for a strike.

1354
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:32,000
Count evens at 1-1 on Ashburn.

1355
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:35,000
There are two outs, none on, six things.

1356
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:40,000
Lucky strikes sending you play-by-play from County Mac Stadium in Philadelphia.

1357
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:46,000
The 1957 opener between the Dodgers and the Phillies.

1358
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:48,000
1-1 pitch on the way.

1359
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:50,000
Ashburn bounces one wide a third.

1360
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:51,000
Jackson one-handed.

1361
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:55,000
Play the first in time for the outside retire.

1362
01:48:55,000 --> 01:49:00,000
So that's all for the Fills and in the sixth inning both sides go up and down in order.

1363
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:02,000
No runs, no hits, no errors, none left on.

1364
01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:09,000
And so at the end of sixth inning to play the score, the Phillies sixth, the Dodgers five.

1365
01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:15,000
Well, let's kind of get up to date here on what happened around and all the other openers around the baseball world today.

1366
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:18,000
So from the Lucky Strike scoreboard, here's Al.

1367
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:25,000
Well, otherwise in the National League at Pittsburgh, the Pirates defeated the Giants 9-2 behind Bob Friend.

1368
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:27,000
Pittsburgh 9 runs, 8 hits, one error.

1369
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:30,000
Giants 2 runs, 10 hits, three errors.

1370
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:31,000
Antonelli started, he's the loser.

1371
01:49:31,000 --> 01:49:34,000
Grissom in the eighth and Jones in the eighth.

1372
01:49:34,000 --> 01:49:39,000
Thomas hit a home run his first of the year in the second with nobody on for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

1373
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:41,000
Milwaukee defeated Chicago 4-1.

1374
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:43,000
Milwaukee 4 runs, 8 hits, no errors.

1375
01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:45,000
Warren's fallen all the way for the victory.

1376
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:48,000
Chicago 1 run, 4 hits, one error.

1377
01:49:48,000 --> 01:49:51,000
Rush started, dropped in the seventh and Valentinetti in the ninth.

1378
01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:56,000
Logan hit a home run in the sixth with one to board for the Milwaukee Braves.

1379
01:49:56,000 --> 01:50:00,000
St. Louis defeated Cincinnati 13-4 on 17 hits and no errors.

1380
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:03,000
Weimar all the way for the St. Louis win.

1381
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:05,000
Cincinnati 4 runs, 8 hits, one error.

1382
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:08,000
Slipstein, Fowler in the sixth, Gross in the sixth, Freeman in the eighth.

1383
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:14,000
Bobby Smith in the sixth with one on, Wally Moon in the eighth with two on, hit home runs for St. Louis.

1384
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:16,000
The Yankees defeated Washington 2-1.

1385
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:19,000
The Yankees 2 runs, 7 hits, one error, foured all the way.

1386
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:21,000
Washington 1 run, 6 hits, one error.

1387
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:25,000
Sobs all the way to take the loss, the battle of the left handers.

1388
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:28,000
Severs hit a home run for Washington in the seventh with the bases empty.

1389
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:32,000
And Barra hit one in the seventh with none on for the New York Yankees.

1390
01:50:32,000 --> 01:50:34,000
Boston defeated Baltimore 4-2.

1391
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:36,000
Boston 4 runs, 9 hits, no errors.

1392
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:38,000
Baltimore 2 runs, 9 hits, one error.

1393
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:41,000
And in 11 innings, Chicago defeated Cleveland 3-2.

1394
01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:44,000
Kansas City defeated Detroit 2-1.

1395
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:45,000
All right, Jerry.

1396
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:50,000
Darin Newcomb waits and swings a foul back into the stands, strike one.

1397
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:57,000
Robin Roberts on the firing line and the Dodgers now come up on the seventh inning, need a run to tie and two to go ahead.

1398
01:50:57,000 --> 01:51:02,000
6-5 ball game here at Philadelphia tonight.

1399
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:08,000
Newcomb has one hit, two tries, singles in the fifth inning and then score the run.

1400
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:13,000
Takes outside, ball one, McCown evens it 1-1.

1401
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:18,000
Robin Roberts, who leads all active National League right-handers in career victories with 179,

1402
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:24,000
tonight is the first player in modern baseball to pitch in eight season openers.

1403
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:30,000
Fastball back, Newcomb awaits, and there it's ball two, strike one.

1404
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:34,000
In the seven previous, Roberts has won four and lost three.

1405
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:38,000
He's beaten Brooklyn three times in opening day efforts.

1406
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:43,000
The Dodgers have not beaten him.

1407
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:45,000
There's a pop-up on the first baseline.

1408
01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:51,000
Ed Boussee comes down near the bag, now steps across the line and makes the grab for the out.

1409
01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:55,000
So Newcomb bowels out to the first baseman, Ed Boussee.

1410
01:51:55,000 --> 01:52:00,000
It will be Jim Gilliam who has one hit, three tries.

1411
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:08,000
Roberts beat the Dodgers 9-1 in 1950 and in 1951, 5-2, last year he beat them 8-6.

1412
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:19,000
He beat Newcomb twice in 1950 and last year.

1413
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:22,000
Gilliam waiting, here's the pitch.

1414
01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:25,000
It's close and it's ball one.

1415
01:52:25,000 --> 01:52:35,000
In 1955, Roberts beat the Giants 4-2 and had a no-hitter for eight and one-third innings.

1416
01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:37,000
Here's the pitch.

1417
01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:42,000
Fastball low inside and it's ball two.

1418
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:51,000
Well, I guess maybe Bob Seller was the last pitcher to pitch an opening day no-hitter, Alan, is that right?

1419
01:52:51,000 --> 01:52:53,000
We don't have none this year either.

1420
01:52:53,000 --> 01:52:55,000
Here's the pitch.

1421
01:52:55,000 --> 01:53:08,000
Bouncer foul up the first baseline and Jake Pitler makes his first play of the new season, lobs it back into Roberts.

1422
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:12,000
It counts to Gilliam, two balls, one strike, one out, down on top of the seven.

1423
01:53:12,000 --> 01:53:15,000
Bills leads 6-5.

1424
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:19,000
Roberts into the windup and down it comes.

1425
01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:34,000
Here's a ground ball hit foul down the first baseline, goes all the way to the wall and bounces along and a couple of fans lean out and grab a baseball souvenir for the Knights opener.

1426
01:53:34,000 --> 01:53:47,000
Turn two.

1427
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:49,000
Here's the pitch to Gilliam.

1428
01:53:49,000 --> 01:53:50,000
Swung right in.

1429
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:57,000
This one is drilled foul down the right field line and bounces up against the boxy ridding.

1430
01:53:57,000 --> 01:54:00,000
And the count stays at two and two.

1431
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:03,000
County Mac Stadium is double-decked all the way around.

1432
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:07,000
There are no stands in right field.

1433
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:11,000
In other words, the field's surrounded by stands on three sides.

1434
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:19,000
There's a foul back upstairs up to the first box and it's still two and two.

1435
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:30,000
The stands go all the way down the left field line to the plate, then all the way down the third baseline, and then all the way across left field at the center field.

1436
01:54:30,000 --> 01:54:36,000
There's nothing in right field except the scoreboard under high wall all the way across.

1437
01:54:36,000 --> 01:54:39,000
There's a drive hit right back to the middle for a base hit.

1438
01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:41,000
Gilliam is on.

1439
01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:49,000
Ashburn Field quickly fires into second base and Jim Gilliam gets a long single into left center field.

1440
01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:54,000
That's for Gilliam, hit number two, and for the Dodgers, number seven.

1441
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:56,000
And here's Geno Somolia.

1442
01:54:56,000 --> 01:55:00,000
Line to center, line to second, single to center, and drove in a run.

1443
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:06,000
So Geno has one, four, three in the Knights game.

1444
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:09,000
Dodger left fielder, one out, one on.

1445
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:11,000
Roberts now with a stretch to look.

1446
01:55:11,000 --> 01:55:16,000
Here's the pitch to Geno, strike called on the outside corner.

1447
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:22,000
Fernandez and Kazansky play it in a step or two now and double play it after Jones.

1448
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:29,000
Fairly close in his third and Busce, of course, holding Gilliam at first base.

1449
01:55:29,000 --> 01:55:32,000
Top of the seventh, one out, one on.

1450
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:37,000
Roberts deals a swing and a miss, strike two on Geno Somolia.

1451
01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:55,000
Duke's batter on deck and then Kyle for a little follow.

1452
01:55:55,000 --> 01:56:04,000
Oh, two pitch. Sworn and rolled back to the mound, Roberts bare-handed, throws to first base in time and on the play, Gilliam goes into second.

1453
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:11,000
Roberts slipped and came up from our distance time to bare-hand the ball and make his play to first base.

1454
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:14,000
Had no chance for a play on Gilliam.

1455
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:17,000
So the tying run moves to second base and Duke's batter comes on.

1456
01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:25,000
Foul out, doubled to right and was intentionally walked.

1457
01:56:25,000 --> 01:56:32,000
So Snyder up now with Perolo on deck and his second base is Gilliam with two away.

1458
01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:43,000
Six-five ball game in favor of the Philadelphia Phillies over the Dodgers here at County Mac Stadium in Philadelphia.

1459
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:52,000
Roberts now with a stretch, now delivers fresh ball up high outside, ball one.

1460
01:56:52,000 --> 01:57:08,000
One ball, no strikes on Duke's batter.

1461
01:57:08,000 --> 01:57:14,000
Bow ball right up here underneath the stand, out of play, one-on-one.

1462
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:23,000
Snyder had another one of his miserable springs hitting 177, but as Duke says, he never hits in the spring, he just waits until the bell rings and then off he goes.

1463
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:28,000
The only time that he had a good spring, he had a bad season.

1464
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:32,000
So Duke anxious to get off to a good start here with a season underway.

1465
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:38,000
Rose one back toward the third base side of the mound, Roberts slips, goes 10 times for the out.

1466
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:49,000
Nice play by Robin Roberts, who came to the third base line, slips as he grabbed the ball, flew from one knee and got his man for the out to retire the side.

1467
01:57:49,000 --> 01:57:57,000
So that's all for the Dodgers in the seventh inning, no runs, one hit, no errors and one man left on.

1468
01:57:57,000 --> 01:58:04,000
That's the end of the top of the seventh, the score, the Phillies six, the Dodgers five.

1469
01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:08,000
Well, seventh inning stretch, here's Al to tell us all about it.

1470
01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:14,000
Yes sir, that seventh inning stretch is coming right up and hey Jerry, by the way, touch me that cycle, lucky.

1471
01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:16,000
Okay, here you go.

1472
01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:18,000
Ah, thank you.

1473
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:20,000
Now for a match of tea.

1474
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:30,000
Oh, you're right here, got a lighter.

1475
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:34,000
What a cigarette, a genuine cigarette.

1476
01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:36,000
Say, how about joining me?

1477
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:38,000
Declare a light up sign.

1478
01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:43,000
Put a match to a lucky and then settle back and watch the rest of the ball game and listen to it.

1479
01:58:43,000 --> 01:58:54,000
Enjoy the best tasting cigarette you ever smoked.

1480
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:55,000
Oh, I like that.

1481
01:58:55,000 --> 01:58:57,000
Yeah, it's good.

1482
01:58:57,000 --> 01:59:01,000
All right, Jerry, I guess we're getting ready for some more action, huh?

1483
01:59:01,000 --> 01:59:06,000
Right over Al, it'll be Chico Fernandez who's scratched single on the third base line,

1484
01:59:06,000 --> 01:59:14,000
started the Phillies off to a two run inning in the fifth, the inning that put them out in front.

1485
01:59:14,000 --> 01:59:19,000
The Phillies scored first in the second, the Dodgers tied it in the third and went ahead in the fourth.

1486
01:59:19,000 --> 01:59:25,000
The Phillies came back a three in the fourth to make it four-two, the Dodgers got three in the fifth to make it five-four.

1487
01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:29,000
The Phillies got two in the fifth to make it six-five and here we are.

1488
01:59:29,000 --> 01:59:35,000
Fernandez up one for three tonight, Ed Boussillon on deck and Rook Rapovsky to follow.

1489
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:38,000
Newcomb and Roberts have gone all the way.

1490
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:42,000
In fact, we have not had a lineup change on either side.

1491
01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:46,000
Roberts, one of the line drives, one hop to Zimmer.

1492
01:59:46,000 --> 01:59:55,000
Up with it, play is in time, nice play by Don Zimmer, a line drive, one hop in front of Don, almost handcuffed him.

1493
01:59:55,000 --> 02:00:04,000
He knocked it down, retrieved in time to get the speedy Chico Fernandez for the first time.

1494
02:00:04,000 --> 02:00:09,000
Roberts in his innings on the mound has walked three and struck out four.

1495
02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:12,000
Newcomb has walked one, struck out three.

1496
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:18,000
Nine hits for the Phillies and seven for the Dodgers.

1497
02:00:18,000 --> 02:00:22,000
One out, here's Ed Boussillon up.

1498
02:00:22,000 --> 02:00:27,000
The wind up in the pitch to the rookie first baseman, up high for a ball one.

1499
02:00:27,000 --> 02:00:33,000
Boussillon struck out in the first, again in the third, but in the fifth inning he tripled to right field.

1500
02:00:33,000 --> 02:00:41,000
He went in the tying run and then came across with a lead run on a single by Willie Jones.

1501
02:00:41,000 --> 02:00:45,000
Left hand batter, Ed Boussillon.

1502
02:00:45,000 --> 02:00:49,000
Newcomb winds and fires, change up his high and it's ball two.

1503
02:00:49,000 --> 02:00:54,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1504
02:00:54,000 --> 02:00:58,000
Outfield swung around to the right against the left hand batter.

1505
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:05,000
And the infield way around, Jackson way wide at third, Zimmer lined up almost behind second.

1506
02:01:05,000 --> 02:01:08,000
Gilliam with the edge of the grass on the right side.

1507
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:17,000
Pass ball high and it's ball free.

1508
02:01:17,000 --> 02:01:25,000
We'll see one of the rookies on the Philadelphia squad and it might be it'll take the teams around the league a while to get a book on him.

1509
02:01:25,000 --> 02:01:29,000
Or they might have a pretty good idea already.

1510
02:01:29,000 --> 02:01:31,000
Sometimes they do.

1511
02:01:31,000 --> 02:01:40,000
Pass ball is over first strike and it's three and one.

1512
02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:50,000
Of course some of the clubs that'll look at Boussillon and Bowman last year at the tail end of the year in a few ball games.

1513
02:01:50,000 --> 02:01:54,000
But sometimes it takes longer than that to get things figured out.

1514
02:01:54,000 --> 02:01:56,000
Three and one pitch for Big Don.

1515
02:01:56,000 --> 02:02:08,000
Fouled off on the ground, it is three-two.

1516
02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:11,000
Newcomb against Roberts, they've met 12 times.

1517
02:02:11,000 --> 02:02:15,000
Roberts won seven, lost three, was not involved in two decisions.

1518
02:02:15,000 --> 02:02:18,000
Newcomb has won three, lost nine.

1519
02:02:18,000 --> 02:02:20,000
Twelve games he started against Roberts.

1520
02:02:20,000 --> 02:02:26,000
There's a long drive to right center field, Schneider huffing back, back, back, turns, he's got it.

1521
02:02:26,000 --> 02:02:29,000
Right in front of the scoreboard in right center field.

1522
02:02:29,000 --> 02:02:35,000
We'll see, watched that one well, but Schneider was able to get there and hold it down.

1523
02:02:35,000 --> 02:02:38,000
So it's two-goin' now and here's Rip Rapolsky on the left fielder.

1524
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:55,000
A single flat out and rounded out. Rip Rapolsky right hand batter.

1525
02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:57,000
Newcomb winds and fires.

1526
02:02:57,000 --> 02:03:11,000
Bouncer hits down the third baseline foul, strike one.

1527
02:03:11,000 --> 02:03:15,000
Newcomb now has retired the last seven men in a row since Jones singles.

1528
02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:21,000
In the fifth inning, the sender crossed the go-ahead run for Philadelphia.

1529
02:03:21,000 --> 02:03:23,000
Big Don delivers.

1530
02:03:23,000 --> 02:03:34,000
Third ball for a strike, nothing and two on Rip Rapolsky.

1531
02:03:34,000 --> 02:03:39,000
Lucky strike sending it all to you from County Mac Stadium in Philadelphia.

1532
02:03:39,000 --> 02:03:46,000
Hope you get plenty of luckies on hand to enjoy the ball game a little better.

1533
02:03:46,000 --> 02:03:53,000
The 0-2 pitch. Fastball strike three called on Rip Rapolsky out on strike.

1534
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:59,000
And for Newcomb now eight men in a row have been retired and that is strikeout number four.

1535
02:03:59,000 --> 02:04:02,000
So the Fills go up and down in the seventh inning.

1536
02:04:02,000 --> 02:04:06,000
No runs, no hits, no errors and them left on.

1537
02:04:06,000 --> 02:04:10,000
So at the end, seven full of means of play at the score.

1538
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:14,000
The Phillies six, the Dodgers have five.

1539
02:04:14,000 --> 02:04:20,000
For the fourth for station identification, this is the Brooklyn Dodgers, Radio Network.

1540
02:04:20,000 --> 02:04:25,000
Dial 1460, WOKO Albany, the capital district's most talked about station

1541
02:04:25,000 --> 02:04:28,000
with downtown studios and the Hotel Wellington.

1542
02:04:28,000 --> 02:04:31,000
Two minutes past ten, WOKO time.

1543
02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:40,000
Tomorrow night from eight until ten-thirty, listen to Teen Time Jam already.

1544
02:04:40,000 --> 02:04:45,000
The two-fine co-sponsors Schaefer Beer and Lucky Strike Cigarettes in cooperation with the Brooklyn Dodgers

All right Jerry, how about some more of that action?

1558
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:51,000
Ready to go, Perlow first batter and takes the curve ball down low, ball one.

1559
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:55,000
Kyle flied to left in the second, doubled in the fourth and drove in a run

1560
02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:58,000
and had to sacrifice fly to center in the fifth inning.

1561
02:05:58,000 --> 02:06:01,000
So he's one for two in the night's game.

1562
02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:04,000
Roberts into the windup and here's the pitch.

1563
02:06:04,000 --> 02:06:11,000
Call strike, curve ball at the letters and it's one and one.

1564
02:06:11,000 --> 02:06:15,000
Off day tomorrow and Thursday as the Dodgers open up at Everett Field.

1565
02:06:15,000 --> 02:06:17,000
We hope you'll be there.

1566
02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:24,000
The Pittsburgh Pirates come in to see the guest team as the Dodgers open up the season.

1567
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:27,000
Fastball way outside and it's ball two.

1568
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:32,000
Then there'll be an off day on Friday, Good Friday, Saturday, Ladies Day at Everett Field against the Pirates

1569
02:06:32,000 --> 02:06:37,000
and Sunday a big double header and next Monday the opener with the Phillies at Jersey City.

1570
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:50,000
A lot of baseball.

1571
02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:54,000
Here's the pitch to Perlow, it's in for a strike and it's two-two.

1572
02:06:54,000 --> 02:07:03,000
Sal Magley due to pitch the home opener at Everett Field on Thursday.

1573
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:10,000
Game time, one-thirty.

1574
02:07:10,000 --> 02:07:13,000
As the roller hits the third, in fast comes Jones.

1575
02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:19,000
Up will it go to first, him time to get the roller.

1576
02:07:19,000 --> 02:07:24,000
Rolls out Jones to Boucher.

1577
02:07:24,000 --> 02:07:30,000
Well he had to come very fast to make the play that time and get Perlow by a step and a half.

1578
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:35,000
One away and here's Hodges, right out, walked and struck out.

1579
02:07:35,000 --> 02:07:39,000
Seven hits for Brooklyn and nine for Philadelphia.

1580
02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:53,000
Six to five ball game, top of the eighth inning.

1581
02:07:53,000 --> 02:08:00,000
Fastball on the corner for strike one.

1582
02:08:00,000 --> 02:08:06,000
Both Roberts and Newcomb were on the ropes in the early innings in the third, fourth and fifth.

1583
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:10,000
But now a subtle down in the last two innings and have really been firing away.

1584
02:08:10,000 --> 02:08:14,000
With the high foul feeling off and back into the stands,

1585
02:08:14,000 --> 02:08:20,000
Well, Paddock comes back to give it a try but it's into the first row of boxed seats.

1586
02:08:20,000 --> 02:08:26,000
So on Hodges the count is strike two.

1587
02:08:26,000 --> 02:08:33,000
Well the Dodgers two hits by Gilliam, one for Somoli, Snyder, Perlow, Zimmer and Newcomb.

1588
02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:45,000
Two to a piece for Jones and Bowman, one for Fernandez, Boucher, Rapolsky, Gavansky and Roberts.

1589
02:08:45,000 --> 02:08:48,000
Strike two count, Hodges waits.

1590
02:08:48,000 --> 02:08:56,000
Foul ball straight back to the wire and it's still nothing in two.

1591
02:08:56,000 --> 02:09:08,000
Standing room crowd of 37,667 at County Mac Stadium in Philadelphia.

1592
02:09:08,000 --> 02:09:12,000
One out, eighth inning.

1593
02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:18,000
Hodges swings and there's a long one on that field, this one's going, going, this one is up in the upper deck

1594
02:09:18,000 --> 02:09:33,000
and it's a tied up ball game as Gil Hodges felt one out of here tied up by 6-6.

1595
02:09:33,000 --> 02:09:40,000
So we've got a brand new one going now, the eighth inning as Gil Hodges rips off his first home run of the 1957 season

1596
02:09:40,000 --> 02:09:46,000
and sends a thousand lucky's along to the VA hospital at St. Matthew, New York.

1597
02:09:46,000 --> 02:09:52,000
That's the third thousand lucky's to go tonight.

1598
02:09:52,000 --> 02:09:55,000
Two home runs and a double play.

1599
02:09:55,000 --> 02:09:59,000
Here's Jackson at bat now in a 6-6 ball game.

1600
02:09:59,000 --> 02:10:04,000
Randy Dix the first pitch, strike one.

1601
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:07,000
Jackson nothing for three in tonight's game.

1602
02:10:07,000 --> 02:10:11,000
One out, one on and Roberts into the windup.

1603
02:10:11,000 --> 02:10:15,000
Foul ball on the ground off to the right of the plate, strike two on Randy Jackson.

1604
02:10:15,000 --> 02:10:27,000
Hodges and Zimmer have been home runs and the one for Gil is a tighter up.

1605
02:10:27,000 --> 02:10:33,000
One in the upper deck in left field.

1606
02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:37,000
Here's the pitch, low for ball.

1607
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:44,000
Well among his other achievements Robin Roberts has the dubious distinction of being the National League soft at home run touch.

1608
02:10:44,000 --> 02:10:55,000
Forty-six home runs last year, a major league record of home runs allowed or hit off of or any way you want to play it.

1609
02:10:55,000 --> 02:10:59,000
Curve ball on the corner for strike three on Jackson.

1610
02:10:59,000 --> 02:11:06,000
Randy turns and walks off, got a word to say don't fire dust to Boggess, but doesn't say too much.

1611
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:14,000
That's for Roberts' strike out number five and oncoming now will be Roy Campanella.

1612
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:28,000
Roy has struck out twice and flat out to right field.

1613
02:11:28,000 --> 02:11:31,000
First pitch, curve outside ball one.

1614
02:11:31,000 --> 02:11:50,000
Six-six ball game here in the eighth inning. Two down, none on, Campanella waiting with Zimmer on deck and Newcomb to follow.

1615
02:11:50,000 --> 02:11:55,000
The Dodgers tagged Roberts for 12 home runs in 55 in the third inning last year.

1616
02:11:55,000 --> 02:12:03,000
Here's the swing and a miss, strike two.

1617
02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:09,000
Pamela Byron who has been in the bullpen comes on down to the Dodgers dugout now.

1618
02:12:09,000 --> 02:12:12,000
Maybe he's going to go to work here in the last of the eighth inning.

1619
02:12:12,000 --> 02:12:20,000
Campy takes outside for ball and the count evens it two and two.

1620
02:12:20,000 --> 02:12:31,000
Two balls, two strikes.

1621
02:12:31,000 --> 02:12:38,000
Campy swings and it's a line drive right to second baseman Ted Kvansky for the out to retire to five.

1622
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:42,000
So the Dodgers pick up a tying run in the eighth inning on a homer by Gil Hodges.

1623
02:12:42,000 --> 02:12:46,000
One run, one hit, no errors and none left on.

1624
02:12:46,000 --> 02:12:55,000
So at the end of the top of the eighth inning we've got a brand new one going, the score, the Dodgers six and the Phillies have six.

1625
02:12:55,000 --> 02:12:59,000
Well, we got it going here and what to say?

1626
02:12:59,000 --> 02:13:03,000
Well, we've got it going here too.

1627
02:13:03,000 --> 02:13:04,000
Really something.

1628
02:13:04,000 --> 02:13:07,000
I wonder how the folks are going.

1629
02:13:07,000 --> 02:13:09,000
I can see them right now though.

1630
02:13:09,000 --> 02:13:12,000
Sitting back in an easy chair, dial all set for baseball.

1631
02:13:12,000 --> 02:13:16,000
And a pack of Lucky's where you can reach them really easy.

1632
02:13:16,000 --> 02:13:21,000
Man, you've got it made for a perfect evening filled with lots of real deep down smoking enjoyment.

1633
02:13:21,000 --> 02:13:26,000
That's the smoking enjoyment, one thing you can always be sure of with a Lucky.

1634
02:13:26,000 --> 02:13:33,000
It stands for reason too because a Lucky's all cigarettes, all fine tobacco.

1635
02:13:33,000 --> 02:13:37,000
Naturally mild, good tasting tobacco that's toasted to taste even better.

1636
02:13:37,000 --> 02:13:41,000
Cleaner, fresher, smoother.

1637
02:13:41,000 --> 02:13:54,000
Say friends, why not light up a Lucky right now when the clock here says about eight minutes past ten o'clock.

1638
02:13:54,000 --> 02:13:57,000
So that's light up time here in Philadelphia.

1639
02:13:57,000 --> 02:14:07,000
You know when you light that Lucky up you'll find it's the best tasting cigarette you ever smoke.

1640
02:14:07,000 --> 02:14:11,000
Well, we've had seven and a half innings of a ball game all tied up now.

1641
02:14:11,000 --> 02:14:16,000
The Dodgers six runs eight hits one error and the Philadelphia Phillies six runs nine hits no error.

1642
02:14:16,000 --> 02:14:20,000
We're changing pitchers on the mound for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

1643
02:14:20,000 --> 02:14:24,000
So to give us all the information, let's get right back to chair.

1644
02:14:24,000 --> 02:14:30,000
Claren LeBine coming on, 10 and six last year against the Phillies, a lifetime mark of seven and six.

1645
02:14:30,000 --> 02:14:38,000
Well, Don Newcomb gives way after going seven and easy allowed six runs five earned nine hits struck out four on walk one.

1646
02:14:38,000 --> 02:14:43,000
First batter for the Phillies will be Willie Jones who has two for three in tonight's game.

1647
02:14:43,000 --> 02:14:53,000
Claren LeBine, number one fireman for the Brooklyn Dodgers in now here in the eighth inning.

1648
02:14:53,000 --> 02:14:59,000
Claren Wines and Fires, Jones a fastball is in for strike one.

1649
02:14:59,000 --> 02:15:05,000
Newcomb allowed nine hits but the Phillies were only able to punch them in three.

1650
02:15:05,000 --> 02:15:11,000
Three in the second, three in the fifth, three in the fourth.

1651
02:15:11,000 --> 02:15:15,000
Here's a curveball for strike two.

1652
02:15:15,000 --> 02:15:17,000
Nothing and two on Willie Jones.

1653
02:15:17,000 --> 02:15:22,000
Sam will pat on deck and then Bob Pullman to follow.

1654
02:15:22,000 --> 02:15:29,000
All game tied at six and six here in the eighth inning.

1655
02:15:29,000 --> 02:15:34,000
Clem checks the time with Roy Campanella.

1656
02:15:34,000 --> 02:15:42,000
Down it comes, curveball low outside for ball on the count one and two.

1657
02:15:42,000 --> 02:15:46,000
Jones doubled in the second to drive in a run, single in the fifth inning to drive in a run.

1658
02:15:46,000 --> 02:15:59,000
He's been a real spark for the Phillies tonight.

1659
02:15:59,000 --> 02:16:03,000
Clem checks the time with the one-two offering.

1660
02:16:03,000 --> 02:16:19,000
Here's a fastball chop down foul of the plate on Firedusty Boggess, picks it up and rubs it up, throws it back out.

1661
02:16:19,000 --> 02:16:23,000
One and two on Jones.

1662
02:16:23,000 --> 02:16:29,000
Big number six on the back of Willie's white uniform.

1663
02:16:29,000 --> 02:16:36,000
A bouncer hit right back to LeBarn on one hop, played a Hodges and it's one away.

1664
02:16:36,000 --> 02:16:40,000
One up, one down and here's Sam Lofata.

1665
02:16:40,000 --> 02:16:42,000
He's known for two tonight.

1666
02:16:42,000 --> 02:16:46,000
On on the field is Joyce, walks in, scored and pops out.

1667
02:16:46,000 --> 02:16:53,000
Sam Lofata, the big backstop for Philadelphia.

1668
02:16:53,000 --> 02:17:03,000
They play them around to the left, last half of the eighth in a six-foot ball game.

1669
02:17:03,000 --> 02:17:23,000
LeBarn ready, delivers curveball outside, ball in.

1670
02:17:23,000 --> 02:17:29,000
Clem deals again, overarm curve is in for a strike and it's one and one.

1671
02:17:29,000 --> 02:17:37,000
LeBarn likes to mix up the curveballs, overarm and three-quarter and once in a while sidearm, but not too much sidearm.

1672
02:17:37,000 --> 02:17:47,000
And one of his most effective pitches of course is a sinker ball.

1673
02:17:47,000 --> 02:17:53,000
One-one, a windup in pitch, fastball bounced along to the left side, Zimmer comes in, gets a big hop,

1674
02:17:53,000 --> 02:17:59,000
score the first in time and it is two up and two down.

1675
02:17:59,000 --> 02:18:03,000
Oh, Zim really gets rid of that ball in a hurry.

1676
02:18:03,000 --> 02:18:08,000
Every time he fires that ball over there you think that runner's going to be there.

1677
02:18:08,000 --> 02:18:12,000
But he's usually out by about six or eight steps.

1678
02:18:12,000 --> 02:18:15,000
But Zim wastes no time.

1679
02:18:15,000 --> 02:18:20,000
And on the other hand you've seen fellows who will grab the ball and have a real fine arm and they'll kind of look at it.

1680
02:18:20,000 --> 02:18:25,000
And then finally they'll beat the runner by about a step or step and a half every time.

1681
02:18:25,000 --> 02:18:29,000
Bill Serena the Cubs is one guy who would do that.

1682
02:18:29,000 --> 02:18:34,000
He'd kind of read the trademark and then let her rip.

1683
02:18:34,000 --> 02:18:38,000
First pitch is outside, ball one.

1684
02:18:38,000 --> 02:18:44,000
Billy Cox, same way.

1685
02:18:44,000 --> 02:18:51,000
One-oh pitch, curveball in for a strike and it's one and one to Bob Bowman.

1686
02:18:51,000 --> 02:18:54,000
Two down in the eighth inning.

1687
02:18:54,000 --> 02:19:00,000
Newcomb had retired eight in a row from the fifth inning on and now LeBine has tacked on two more.

1688
02:19:00,000 --> 02:19:07,000
So the Pills have been ten up and ten down here against LeBine and Newcomb.

1689
02:19:07,000 --> 02:19:12,000
One-one pitch, down ball to the left side, Zimmer scoots over to his right up with it.

1690
02:19:12,000 --> 02:19:17,000
The long throw is in time but again the Pills go up and down in order.

1691
02:19:17,000 --> 02:19:19,000
Nothing to cross in the eighth inning, three up, three down.

1692
02:19:19,000 --> 02:19:23,000
No runs, no hits, no errors and them left on.

1693
02:19:23,000 --> 02:19:27,000
So at the end of eight we've got a new ball game all tied up at six and six.

1694
02:19:27,000 --> 02:19:30,000
The Dodgers and the Phillies.

1695
02:19:30,000 --> 02:19:32,000
Well Al, what'd you say there?

1696
02:19:32,000 --> 02:19:36,000
Well Al, let's give the folks a total for the end of eight innings in this tied up ball game, Jerry.

1697
02:19:36,000 --> 02:19:42,000
For Philadelphia six runs, nine hits, no errors and for Brooklyn six runs, eight hits and one error.

1698
02:19:42,000 --> 02:19:48,000
The Phillies scored one in the second, three in the fourth and two in the fifth for their six.

1699
02:19:48,000 --> 02:19:54,000
While the Dodgers have scored one in the third, one in the fourth, three in the fifth and one in the eighth to tie it up.

1700
02:19:54,000 --> 02:19:56,000
Otherwise, the scores today in the National League.

1701
02:19:56,000 --> 02:20:00,000
Pittsburgh defeated the Giants nine to two, Friend beating Antonelli.

1702
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:05,000
Milwaukee defeated Chicago four to one, Warren Spahn beating Bob Rush, Logan a home run.

1703
02:20:05,000 --> 02:20:11,000
St. Louis defeated Cincinnati, Weimar beating Klipschra and Smith and Moon hitting home runs for the Cardinals.

1704
02:20:11,000 --> 02:20:18,000
And in the American League, the Yankees defeated Washington two to one, Ford beating Stubbs with Severs and Thera hitting home runs.

1705
02:20:18,000 --> 02:20:24,000
Boston and Baltimore, a victory for Boston four to two over Baltimore with Brewer beating White.

1706
02:20:24,000 --> 02:20:27,000
Chicago and Cleveland in 11 innings.

1707
02:20:27,000 --> 02:20:31,000
Pearson's score went all the way. Chicago won that over Cleveland three to two.

1708
02:20:31,000 --> 02:20:35,000
And Kansas City defeated Detroit two to one, Morgan and Larry going all the way.

1709
02:20:35,000 --> 02:20:42,000
Morgan beating Larry and Zirniel hitting a home run in that ball game for the Kansas City ball club in the sixth.

1710
02:20:42,000 --> 02:20:47,000
The winnets. Well, that's about it as far as all the scores and so forth are concerned.

1711
02:20:47,000 --> 02:20:51,000
We'll see if there's going to be any more scoring in this one as we go to the top of the ninth inning.

1712
02:20:51,000 --> 02:20:54,000
Don Zimmer coming up to the plate. Let's get back to Jerry.

1713
02:20:54,000 --> 02:20:57,000
Little Zip has a home run, a walk and a strike out.

1714
02:20:57,000 --> 02:21:01,000
So he's one for two. He's scored twice. Roberts delivers.

1715
02:21:01,000 --> 02:21:05,000
Zimmer swings a drive to left field. It's in for a base hit.

1716
02:21:05,000 --> 02:21:13,000
Lepofsky over to play it. Fires back in and Zimmer is on with hit number nine for the Dodgers.

1717
02:21:13,000 --> 02:21:23,000
That's two for Zimmer tonight.

1718
02:21:23,000 --> 02:21:28,000
In the bullpen now for Philadelphia, Bob Miller, a right-hander.

1719
02:21:28,000 --> 02:21:37,000
LeVine coming on with one on in the ninth inning as Zimmer leads it off with a swing to left field.

1720
02:21:37,000 --> 02:21:43,000
So now Gilliam and Zimmer each have a fair base hit. The Dodgers have nine.

1721
02:21:43,000 --> 02:21:54,000
And the totals are almost identical except for one error on the Dodgers side of the ledger and none for Philadelphia.

1722
02:21:54,000 --> 02:21:59,000
Here's LeVine up and of course that brings Jones up on the grass of third looking for LeVine.

1723
02:21:59,000 --> 02:22:05,000
And Boushie playing the bag against Zimmer ready to break down the first base line.

1724
02:22:05,000 --> 02:22:10,000
Here's the pitch-budded foul off on the first base side, strike one.

1725
02:22:10,000 --> 02:22:17,000
LeVine trying to make Boushie play the ball because Jones was right in on top of him.

1726
02:22:17,000 --> 02:22:23,000
Zimmer moves on back to first. On the butt nearly everybody moves.

1727
02:22:23,000 --> 02:22:28,000
The right fielder is over on the line backing up first base.

1728
02:22:28,000 --> 02:22:32,000
Second base moving toward first. First base went down the line, et cetera.

1729
02:22:32,000 --> 02:22:36,000
Here they go. The pitch-budded on the first base line and again foul.

1730
02:22:36,000 --> 02:22:42,000
Boushie after makes a play on it, grabs it before the ball has a chance to get back in.

1731
02:22:42,000 --> 02:22:49,000
So it is strike two on LeVine.

1732
02:22:49,000 --> 02:22:58,000
About the only players not running when the bunt goes on like that are the pitch and the catcher and the hitter.

1733
02:22:58,000 --> 02:23:05,000
Everybody else in motion.

1734
02:23:05,000 --> 02:23:07,000
It's a two-and-a-three. We'll see what Clem's going to do now.

1735
02:23:07,000 --> 02:23:11,000
The pitch, he's around the bunt, takes the call, strike three.

1736
02:23:11,000 --> 02:23:14,000
LeVine out on strike.

1737
02:23:14,000 --> 02:23:21,000
And for Robin Roberts, strikeout number six.

1738
02:23:21,000 --> 02:23:26,000
Up now will be Jim Gilliam who has singled twice, flat out twice.

1739
02:23:26,000 --> 02:23:37,000
He's going to run and score the run.

1740
02:23:37,000 --> 02:23:40,000
Six-six ball game, ninth inning.

1741
02:23:40,000 --> 02:23:58,000
Gilliam waits. Here's the pitch to him. Fast ball is in for a strike.

1742
02:23:58,000 --> 02:24:01,000
Gilliam waiting, nothing in one count. Zimmer off first.

1743
02:24:01,000 --> 02:24:10,000
Jim backs up from a low fast ball and it's one and one. One ball, one strike.

1744
02:24:10,000 --> 02:24:13,000
Dodgers up from the top of the ninth, top of the batting order.

1745
02:24:13,000 --> 02:24:16,000
Gilliam and then Simoli and then Snyder.

1746
02:24:16,000 --> 02:24:20,000
One out, one on.

1747
02:24:20,000 --> 02:24:23,000
Roberts ready again, looks and delivers.

1748
02:24:23,000 --> 02:24:26,000
A swing and a drive hits through the hole, the right field for a base hit.

1749
02:24:26,000 --> 02:24:31,000
Zimmer turns second, six for third. Here's the throw across, it'll be cut up.

1750
02:24:31,000 --> 02:24:36,000
It came on through and Zimmer is out of third.

1751
02:24:36,000 --> 02:24:38,000
It looks like Fernandez is going to cut it off.

1752
02:24:38,000 --> 02:24:41,000
And at the last minute he let it go through and it was in time.

1753
02:24:41,000 --> 02:24:44,000
We got Zimmer fighting the third.

1754
02:24:44,000 --> 02:24:58,000
Here's the throw by right fielder Bob Holman all the way through.

1755
02:24:58,000 --> 02:25:03,000
At the last instant, Willie Jones hollered to Fernandez to let it go and he did.

1756
02:25:03,000 --> 02:25:07,000
Fernandez was in the middle of the infield to cut that throw.

1757
02:25:07,000 --> 02:25:17,000
And Jones told him to let it come through and it came one hop through into third base with Jones and he put the tag on Zimmer.

1758
02:25:17,000 --> 02:25:21,000
Out trying to go from first to third on a perfect segue by Bob Holman, the right fielder.

1759
02:25:21,000 --> 02:25:24,000
Great play.

1760
02:25:24,000 --> 02:25:30,000
Here's Simoli up now with Gilliam on first and two outs in the ninth inning.

1761
02:25:30,000 --> 02:25:36,000
Jim was digging, came in first and it took a perfect segue to beat him and that's exactly what Holman offered up.

1762
02:25:36,000 --> 02:25:38,000
Here's the pitch.

1763
02:25:38,000 --> 02:25:44,000
Swung on and bowtip back, strike one.

1764
02:25:44,000 --> 02:25:57,000
Boy that was a fine throw by Bolman.

1765
02:25:57,000 --> 02:26:01,000
Strike one count to Simoli.

1766
02:26:01,000 --> 02:26:02,000
Two outs.

1767
02:26:02,000 --> 02:26:04,000
Gilliam dancing around off first.

1768
02:26:04,000 --> 02:26:09,000
The pitch to Simoli is swung and a liner hit over short and the left fielder for a base hit.

1769
02:26:09,000 --> 02:26:16,000
Gilliam turns and holds up that second base as the throw from Ashburn comes in to third.

1770
02:26:16,000 --> 02:26:24,000
So the Dodgers have had three singles this inning but now have runners on at first and second with Duke Sadler coming up.

1771
02:26:24,000 --> 02:26:33,000
For Simoli his second into the game, Gilliam now has three and the Dodgers have a total of 11.

1772
02:26:33,000 --> 02:26:36,000
The fielder at bat has had one hit three tries.

1773
02:26:36,000 --> 02:26:41,000
He doubled in the fourth inning and the later team in to score.

1774
02:26:41,000 --> 02:26:43,000
So Gilliam is on second.

1775
02:26:43,000 --> 02:26:47,000
Simoli on first.

1776
02:26:47,000 --> 02:26:59,000
Then we're out trying to go to third on a beautiful peg by Bob Bolman that possibly kept the Dodgers out of the scoring column at least up to this moment.

1777
02:26:59,000 --> 02:27:04,000
In the second inning, Roberts delivers, Duke takes it high outside, ball one.

1778
02:27:04,000 --> 02:27:07,000
Top of the ninth.

1779
02:27:07,000 --> 02:27:11,000
Two outs, two on.

1780
02:27:11,000 --> 02:27:17,000
Scores all knotted up at sixth and sixth.

1781
02:27:17,000 --> 02:27:22,000
Roberts again with a stretch and now Snyder steps out.

1782
02:27:22,000 --> 02:27:29,000
Second baseman Kazanski is playing about two steps on the grass and right field now backs up another step.

1783
02:27:29,000 --> 02:27:32,000
Lushy is right on the line and way back at first base.

1784
02:27:32,000 --> 02:27:35,000
Outfield shifted well around against Duke.

1785
02:27:35,000 --> 02:27:40,000
There's a high pop foul from his back and this will be out of play up on top.

1786
02:27:40,000 --> 02:27:50,000
And on Snyder to count one and one.

1787
02:27:50,000 --> 02:27:55,000
Outfield shifted way around against Duke.

1788
02:27:55,000 --> 02:27:58,000
The outfield shift is not too great.

1789
02:27:58,000 --> 02:28:01,000
In fact Ashburn is almost straight away in center.

1790
02:28:01,000 --> 02:28:06,000
But right fielder Bolman is pulled over a bit toward the line.

1791
02:28:06,000 --> 02:28:08,000
Here's the one-one look and the pitch to Duke.

1792
02:28:08,000 --> 02:28:11,000
Swung on and foul steps out of Lefato's glove, strike two.

1793
02:28:11,000 --> 02:28:13,000
One and two on Snyder.

1794
02:28:13,000 --> 02:28:16,000
And Duke had a real big cut.

1795
02:28:16,000 --> 02:28:18,000
Robin Roberts ready again.

1796
02:28:18,000 --> 02:28:19,000
Snyder waiting.

1797
02:28:19,000 --> 02:28:20,000
Runners poised.

1798
02:28:20,000 --> 02:28:22,000
The pitch pulled in a miss.

1799
02:28:22,000 --> 02:28:26,000
Strike two.

1800
02:28:26,000 --> 02:28:31,000
Snyder goes down and comes right down to seven for Robin Roberts.

1801
02:28:31,000 --> 02:28:32,000
Throw in the ninth for Brooklyn.

1802
02:28:32,000 --> 02:28:33,000
No runs.

1803
02:28:33,000 --> 02:28:35,000
Three hits.

1804
02:28:35,000 --> 02:28:36,000
No errors.

1805
02:28:36,000 --> 02:28:38,000
There were two left on.

1806
02:28:38,000 --> 02:28:45,000
The Dodgers had a real tense that inning but Robin Roberts was equal to the occasion and got out of the jam.

1807
02:28:45,000 --> 02:28:50,000
So that's all for the Dodgers in the top of the ninth and at the end of the eighth and a half inning to play the score.

1808
02:28:50,000 --> 02:28:52,000
The Dodgers six.

1809
02:28:52,000 --> 02:28:54,000
The Phillies have six.

1810
02:28:54,000 --> 02:28:55,000
Right down to the clutch, Jerry.

1811
02:28:55,000 --> 02:28:57,000
How about the last half of that night?

1812
02:28:57,000 --> 02:29:00,000
It'll be Ted Kavinsky, Robin Roberts, or a hitter.

1813
02:29:00,000 --> 02:29:03,000
And then Richie Ashburn.

1814
02:29:03,000 --> 02:29:04,000
Last of the ninth.

1815
02:29:04,000 --> 02:29:06,000
LeBine on the firing line.

1816
02:29:06,000 --> 02:29:07,000
Wines and delivers.

1817
02:29:07,000 --> 02:29:08,000
Kavinsky takes the strike.

1818
02:29:08,000 --> 02:29:11,000
Nothing in the one.

1819
02:29:11,000 --> 02:29:15,000
Well, the Dodgers had a lot of ilts in that top of the ninth inning after Zimmer let off.

1820
02:29:15,000 --> 02:29:19,000
Had LeBine been able to move him across, they'd have gotten a run.

1821
02:29:19,000 --> 02:29:23,000
And had Bowman throw that fence throw two to the mark, getting Zimmer third.

1822
02:29:23,000 --> 02:29:25,000
Here's a roller back to the mound.

1823
02:29:25,000 --> 02:29:28,000
LeBine comes off, makes his play, in time for the first stop.

1824
02:29:28,000 --> 02:29:31,000
One away.

1825
02:29:31,000 --> 02:29:36,000
Had the throw been not quite so good to get Zimmer.

1826
02:29:36,000 --> 02:29:38,000
They'd have had a run.

1827
02:29:38,000 --> 02:29:43,000
But as it is, Philadelphia came through there and held him back.

1828
02:29:43,000 --> 02:30:04,000
And now Robin Roberts comes on to get the tremendous round of applause from the fans here.

1829
02:30:04,000 --> 02:30:09,000
Robin Roberts in waiting, left-hand swinger.

1830
02:30:09,000 --> 02:30:11,000
LeBine delivers.

1831
02:30:11,000 --> 02:30:17,000
Curveball for strike one.

1832
02:30:17,000 --> 02:30:23,000
Twelve fillies have now been retired in order by Brooklyn pitching.

1833
02:30:23,000 --> 02:30:24,000
Newcomb got eight.

1834
02:30:24,000 --> 02:30:27,000
LeBine now has four.

1835
02:30:27,000 --> 02:30:29,000
Roberts ran up to Bud and takes the strike.

1836
02:30:29,000 --> 02:30:42,000
Nothing and two.

1837
02:30:42,000 --> 02:30:47,000
0-2 count on Robin Roberts, last half of the ninth inning.

1838
02:30:47,000 --> 02:30:49,000
LeBine winds and fires.

1839
02:30:49,000 --> 02:30:53,000
Roberts takes low overball on the count one and two.

1840
02:30:53,000 --> 02:31:00,000
Well, the Dodgers, of course, now pulling for an overtime ball game.

1841
02:31:00,000 --> 02:31:07,000
Hoping to get another shot at him in the tenth.

1842
02:31:07,000 --> 02:31:09,000
Here's the pitch.

1843
02:31:09,000 --> 02:31:10,000
Small on the ground ball, the shortstop.

1844
02:31:10,000 --> 02:31:12,000
Zimmer comes in, scoops up, fires to Hodges.

1845
02:31:12,000 --> 02:31:13,000
In time for the out.

1846
02:31:13,000 --> 02:31:15,000
Two away.

1847
02:31:15,000 --> 02:31:18,000
Roberts out on the ground ball, short to first.

1848
02:31:18,000 --> 02:31:24,000
LeBine brings up Richie Ashburn, who has none for four in today's game.

1849
02:31:24,000 --> 02:31:29,000
You'll recall the fillies in the fourth inning scored three runs after the first two batters had been retired.

1850
02:31:29,000 --> 02:31:35,000
One lapota walk, Goldman singles, Devanski singles, and Roberts doubles.

1851
02:31:35,000 --> 02:31:37,000
So hold on to your hats.

1852
02:31:37,000 --> 02:31:42,000
Last half of the ninth, two outs, score tied, six-six.

1853
02:31:42,000 --> 02:31:49,000
And LeBine ready to work to the left-hand batter, Richie Ashburn.

1854
02:31:49,000 --> 02:31:51,000
Wind up and pitch.

1855
02:31:51,000 --> 02:31:55,000
Passball comes down low and it's ball one.

1856
02:31:55,000 --> 02:31:59,000
Well, the fans on hand tonight here at County Mac City have really had their monies worth.

1857
02:31:59,000 --> 02:32:02,000
A real thriller all the way.

1858
02:32:02,000 --> 02:32:08,000
Got a little bit of everything in this one.

1859
02:32:08,000 --> 02:32:10,000
LeBine ready pitching to Ashburn.

1860
02:32:10,000 --> 02:32:12,000
Low inside for ball.

1861
02:32:12,000 --> 02:32:15,000
The count goes to nothing.

1862
02:32:15,000 --> 02:32:18,000
Ashburn chokes up on that bat.

1863
02:32:18,000 --> 02:32:22,000
That two or three inches off the end.

1864
02:32:22,000 --> 02:32:27,000
Real fine hitter.

1865
02:32:27,000 --> 02:32:32,000
It's 3-0-3 last year.

1866
02:32:32,000 --> 02:32:34,000
LeBine with a 2-0 pitch.

1867
02:32:34,000 --> 02:32:39,000
In for a strike and it's 2-1.

1868
02:32:39,000 --> 02:32:42,000
He has a lifetime average of 3-13.

1869
02:32:42,000 --> 02:32:44,000
Gives you an idea of what he can do with that bat.

1870
02:32:44,000 --> 02:32:50,000
He's almost a magician.

1871
02:32:50,000 --> 02:32:52,000
Two and one the count.

1872
02:32:52,000 --> 02:32:53,000
Two outs, none on.

1873
02:32:53,000 --> 02:32:55,000
Ninth inning, LeBine into the windup, delivers.

1874
02:32:55,000 --> 02:32:59,000
Little high after ball and the count goes three and one now.

1875
02:32:59,000 --> 02:33:08,000
Chico Fernandez on deck.

1876
02:33:08,000 --> 02:33:09,000
A capacity crowd.

1877
02:33:09,000 --> 02:33:14,000
In fact, standing room crowd tonight at Philadelphia.

1878
02:33:14,000 --> 02:33:17,000
And a really highly enthusiastic crowd.

1879
02:33:17,000 --> 02:33:19,000
Really whooping it up.

1880
02:33:19,000 --> 02:33:21,000
Here's a liner hit, one hop to Zimmer.

1881
02:33:21,000 --> 02:33:22,000
Great stop.

1882
02:33:22,000 --> 02:33:23,000
Turn through.

1883
02:33:23,000 --> 02:33:25,000
Not in time.

1884
02:33:25,000 --> 02:33:26,000
Ashburn is on.

1885
02:33:26,000 --> 02:33:28,000
The ball bounced away from Rogers.

1886
02:33:28,000 --> 02:33:30,000
And it'll be a base hit.

1887
02:33:30,000 --> 02:33:31,000
Fine play by Zimmer.

1888
02:33:31,000 --> 02:33:32,000
Breaking quick with his left.

1889
02:33:32,000 --> 02:33:35,000
Came up with the ball on a great stop.

1890
02:33:35,000 --> 02:33:39,000
He's been fielding through but was not in time to get the flying Ashburn.

1891
02:33:39,000 --> 02:33:43,000
The ball skidded away from Rogers down the line a little piece.

1892
02:33:43,000 --> 02:33:46,000
But Ashburn had a deep for a base hit.

1893
02:33:46,000 --> 02:33:48,000
That breaks the string.

1894
02:33:48,000 --> 02:33:51,000
Gives Ashburn a single and is up number 10 for Philadelphia.

1895
02:33:51,000 --> 02:33:56,000
And it brings on Chico Fernandez who has one to four.

1896
02:33:56,000 --> 02:34:00,000
Got an infield hit in the fifth inning.

1897
02:34:00,000 --> 02:34:02,000
Ashburn had that play beat.

1898
02:34:02,000 --> 02:34:05,000
And the ball was hit sharply to shortstop.

1899
02:34:05,000 --> 02:34:09,000
Zimmer had a great play on the ball but by the time Don could turn and throw,

1900
02:34:09,000 --> 02:34:14,000
the throw was not in time and even though it was low it bounced away from Rogers.

1901
02:34:14,000 --> 02:34:17,000
It's a throw to the base hit.

1902
02:34:17,000 --> 02:34:22,000
Fernandez waiting now as LeBion worked out of a stretch for the first time this evening.

1903
02:34:22,000 --> 02:34:24,000
Here's the pitch.

1904
02:34:24,000 --> 02:34:34,000
LeBion off to the right and it's strike one.

1905
02:34:34,000 --> 02:34:36,000
Two outs, one on, ninth inning.

1906
02:34:36,000 --> 02:34:51,000
The filly's batting.

1907
02:34:51,000 --> 02:34:57,000
Taking plenty of time now, wants to be careful with Chico.

1908
02:34:57,000 --> 02:35:03,000
Chexton delivers a looper hit back in the middle in the center field for a base hit.

1909
02:35:03,000 --> 02:35:11,000
Ashburn goes into second and holds on and the filly has got something going now with two outs and a ninth.

1910
02:35:11,000 --> 02:35:17,000
For Fernandez, his second hit as he just reached out and swapped one in the center field.

1911
02:35:17,000 --> 02:35:26,000
Ashburn into second and up will be Ed Boushee who has struck out twice, tripled and flat out.

1912
02:35:26,000 --> 02:35:30,000
He drove in a run in the fifth and scored a run.

1913
02:35:30,000 --> 02:35:33,000
The run that put the fillies ahead at the time.

1914
02:35:33,000 --> 02:35:38,000
Dodgers tied that one with a home run by Hodges in the eighth inning.

1915
02:35:38,000 --> 02:35:41,000
Left hand batter, rookie first baseman Ed Boushee at bat.

1916
02:35:41,000 --> 02:35:45,000
LeBion looks, checks the runners and delivers.

1917
02:35:45,000 --> 02:35:48,000
Curve ball is inside, ball one.

1918
02:35:48,000 --> 02:35:55,000
In on the hands, Boushee.

1919
02:35:55,000 --> 02:35:57,000
Left hand hitter waiting.

1920
02:35:57,000 --> 02:36:00,000
Ashburn is second and he can fly.

1921
02:36:00,000 --> 02:36:03,000
Fernandez is on first.

1922
02:36:03,000 --> 02:36:06,000
Looks like he can ignore him.

1923
02:36:06,000 --> 02:36:10,000
The big run is at second, Richie Ashburn.

1924
02:36:10,000 --> 02:36:12,000
LeBion will distract the left.

1925
02:36:12,000 --> 02:36:16,000
Now a pickoff try, throwback is not in time.

1926
02:36:16,000 --> 02:36:24,000
Ashburn fighting in ahead of the tag by Don Zimmer.

1927
02:36:24,000 --> 02:36:28,000
Six-six ball game right down to the wire here in the last of the ninth inning.

1928
02:36:28,000 --> 02:36:31,000
LeBion with the stretch to pitch.

1929
02:36:31,000 --> 02:36:37,000
Little low outside for ball two and it's two-numping now on Ed Boushee.

1930
02:36:37,000 --> 02:36:42,000
He's the filly, a rookie first baseman, batting in the number three spot.

1931
02:36:42,000 --> 02:36:45,000
To Vance Ginn-Roberts, the first two batters retired easily.

1932
02:36:45,000 --> 02:36:52,000
Then Ashburn got an infield hit to shortstop and Fernandez looped a single to center.

1933
02:36:52,000 --> 02:37:00,000
The Pills have two outs, two on and a two-all count on Boushee as LeBion comes to the stretch.

1934
02:37:00,000 --> 02:37:03,000
Curve ball is inside, ball three.

1935
02:37:03,000 --> 02:37:07,000
Three and nothing now.

1936
02:37:07,000 --> 02:37:16,000
LeBion trying to work on him.

1937
02:37:16,000 --> 02:37:25,000
Clem 110 lost six last year and a seven and six lifetime I guess to the Phillies.

1938
02:37:25,000 --> 02:37:28,000
Now the look, check of the runner and the pitch.

1939
02:37:28,000 --> 02:37:31,000
In first strike with a fastball.

1940
02:37:31,000 --> 02:37:36,000
And it's three and one and LeBion didn't fire that one right down the middle.

1941
02:37:36,000 --> 02:37:39,000
He came in around the knees on the inside corner.

1942
02:37:39,000 --> 02:37:43,000
Didn't want to give him anything fat.

1943
02:37:43,000 --> 02:37:46,000
Three balls, one strike.

1944
02:37:46,000 --> 02:37:48,000
Left hand batter waiting.

1945
02:37:48,000 --> 02:37:50,000
Ashburn off second.

1946
02:37:50,000 --> 02:37:52,000
Here's the pitch.

1947
02:37:52,000 --> 02:37:58,000
Full on a chopped foul off behind the plate and the count is full and we can turn him loose now.

1948
02:37:58,000 --> 02:38:01,000
Two and two out last of the night.

1949
02:38:01,000 --> 02:38:10,000
Here we go.

1950
02:38:10,000 --> 02:38:14,000
Okay, a tight spot all the way around.

1951
02:38:14,000 --> 02:38:15,000
Pressure's on everybody.

1952
02:38:15,000 --> 02:38:16,000
The runner's ready to move.

1953
02:38:16,000 --> 02:38:20,000
LeBion ready to fire and Boushee's standing at the plate.

1954
02:38:20,000 --> 02:38:22,000
And the crowd waiting expectantly.

1955
02:38:22,000 --> 02:38:26,000
Here's the three-two pitch now on the way.

1956
02:38:26,000 --> 02:38:28,000
Ball for him.

1957
02:38:28,000 --> 02:38:32,000
Walks him to load him up.

1958
02:38:32,000 --> 02:38:35,000
Off LeBion, walk number one.

1959
02:38:35,000 --> 02:38:37,000
And the third goes Ashburn.

1960
02:38:37,000 --> 02:38:39,000
The second goes Fernandez.

1961
02:38:39,000 --> 02:38:44,000
Up will be Raphosky who has one for four.

1962
02:38:44,000 --> 02:38:46,000
And now conference at the mound.

1963
02:38:46,000 --> 02:38:51,000
Jackson, Hodges and LeBion gather around to talk it over.

1964
02:38:51,000 --> 02:38:54,000
Bottom of the ninth and that's the two outs.

1965
02:38:54,000 --> 02:38:57,000
LeBion getting into trouble.

1966
02:38:57,000 --> 02:39:04,000
Two singles in a walk to fill them up and Raphosky, the cleanup batter, comes on.

1967
02:39:04,000 --> 02:39:08,000
And now we'll see.

1968
02:39:08,000 --> 02:39:17,000
Short side, six-six, last half of the ninth and the big run is the third and LeBion trying to get the big out here in the bottom of the inning.

1969
02:39:17,000 --> 02:39:24,000
LeBion hits Raphosky up high for ball one.

1970
02:39:24,000 --> 02:39:32,000
Time call to Campanella wants to go out and talk to Clem.

1971
02:39:32,000 --> 02:39:36,000
Delroy takes his time, walks slowly out, rubs up the ball.

1972
02:39:36,000 --> 02:39:49,000
Says a few words, talking to Clem.

1973
02:39:49,000 --> 02:39:53,000
Delroy's blowing them down a bit to give them a little time.

1974
02:39:53,000 --> 02:40:01,000
Gives him a pat on the arm and comes on back.

1975
02:40:01,000 --> 02:40:06,000
All right, here we go. Ball one count on Raphosky. Bases loaded.

1976
02:40:06,000 --> 02:40:09,000
Fillies on every sack.

1977
02:40:09,000 --> 02:40:17,000
Bottom of the ninth, six-six ball game.

1978
02:40:17,000 --> 02:40:19,000
LeBion ready into the windup.

1979
02:40:19,000 --> 02:40:21,000
Down it comes.

1980
02:40:21,000 --> 02:40:23,000
A high popup on the infield, a short stop.

1981
02:40:23,000 --> 02:40:29,000
Zimmer comes in, waits a step, pounds the ball, he's got it and will have overtime tonight.

1982
02:40:29,000 --> 02:40:32,000
Raphosky pops up to the short stop.

1983
02:40:32,000 --> 02:40:43,000
And so in the ninth inning, no runs, two hits, no errors, and three left on for the Phillies in the ninth inning.

1984
02:40:43,000 --> 02:40:49,000
So that's the end of nine and the score is all tied up at six and six.

1985
02:40:49,000 --> 02:40:54,000
Well, fans, the last half of this game has been brought to you by the American Tobacco Company,

1986
02:40:54,000 --> 02:41:03,000
America's leading manufacturer of cigarettes on behalf of Lucky Strike, the best tasting cigarette you ever smoke.

1987
02:41:03,000 --> 02:41:08,000
And now to take over is the F&M Schaefer Brewing Company of Brooklyn,

1988
02:41:08,000 --> 02:41:15,000
brewers of Schaefer Beer, America's oldest lager beer. It's real beer.

1989
02:41:15,000 --> 02:41:20,000
Well, before we go to the tenth inning, let's pause for station identification.

1990
02:41:20,000 --> 02:41:23,000
This is the Brooklyn Dodger Radio Network.

1991
02:41:23,000 --> 02:41:31,000
Dial 1460, WOKO Albany, the capital district's most talked about station, with downtown studios in the Hotel Wellington.

1992
02:41:31,000 --> 02:41:42,000
It's now 1037 WOKO time.

1993
02:41:42,000 --> 02:41:49,000
Tenth inning, it'll be Ferillo, Hodges, and Jackson to face Robin Roberts, and in now it's called the play-by-play for Schaefer Beer.

1994
02:41:49,000 --> 02:41:52,000
Here's Al Helper. Al?

1995
02:41:52,000 --> 02:41:59,000
All right, Jerry, here are your totals for the end of nine innings, six runs, 11 hits, and one error for the Brooklyn Dodgers,

1996
02:41:59,000 --> 02:42:04,000
six runs, 11 hits, and no errors for the Philadelphia Phillies.

1997
02:42:04,000 --> 02:42:11,000
Carl Ferillo batting in the cleanup spot will be the first man up for the Dodgers in the top half of any number 10.

1998
02:42:11,000 --> 02:42:18,000
Carl, by the way, was cleanup man more times last year than anybody else on the ball club, so it's not surprising to see him in there now.

1999
02:42:18,000 --> 02:42:24,000
Robin Roberts makes the first pitch, and Ferillo whacks that ball to center field with the ash bearing going over off to his right,

2000
02:42:24,000 --> 02:42:28,000
calls it down for out number one.

2001
02:42:28,000 --> 02:42:32,000
One away in the top half, any number 10.

2002
02:42:32,000 --> 02:42:40,000
By the way, the Dodgers have stranded six base runners tonight, and the Philadelphia Phillies have stranded a total of seven.

2003
02:42:40,000 --> 02:42:46,000
Gil Hodges got this ball game back on an even footing with his home run in the eighth inning,

2004
02:42:46,000 --> 02:42:53,000
one of the two home runs hit here tonight, one hit by Don Zimmer and one hit by Gil Hodges, both solo affairs.

2005
02:42:53,000 --> 02:43:09,000
Gil is moving in now. He's walked one time, and he's one for three. Takes a curve ball, it's over for a strike.

2006
02:43:09,000 --> 02:43:15,000
Shot on fastball, gets right back to the mound. Robin Roberts knocks it down. It knocks him down, too.

2007
02:43:15,000 --> 02:43:18,000
He makes his play and is still down on his hands and knees on the diamond.

2008
02:43:18,000 --> 02:43:21,000
That ball could have hit him in the pit of his stomach.

2009
02:43:21,000 --> 02:43:27,000
There was one hopper back to the mound. Hit Roberts, he stayed with it, knocked him down, he made his play.

2010
02:43:27,000 --> 02:43:33,000
He's up walking around now.

2011
02:43:33,000 --> 02:43:37,000
He's rubbing his wishbone. That hit him right in the chest.

2012
02:43:37,000 --> 02:43:43,000
He's going to be all right. It's a hard smash right back to the mound.

2013
02:43:43,000 --> 02:43:53,000
So two down in the top half of the tenth inning. Bob Miller gets up and starts to throw her lay down in the Philadelphia bullpen.

2014
02:43:53,000 --> 02:43:58,000
All lanky right-handers.

2015
02:43:58,000 --> 02:44:04,000
Coming up to the plate now will be Randy Jackson with two down and the bases empty in a 6-6 ball game.

2016
02:44:04,000 --> 02:44:10,000
There was another extra inning ball game today. That was over in the American League.

2017
02:44:10,000 --> 02:44:16,000
They took 11 innings before the White Sox were able to beat Cleveland and score 3-2.

2018
02:44:16,000 --> 02:44:19,000
Pitch is hung on, but Jackson knocks back to the mound.

2019
02:44:19,000 --> 02:44:26,000
Roberts, puts himself out on the grass, picks it up, fires the first and that's it.

2020
02:44:26,000 --> 02:44:29,000
Oh, Roberts has had a rough time of it.

2021
02:44:29,000 --> 02:44:33,000
Nothing of cost for the Dodgers here in the top half of the tenth inning.

2022
02:44:33,000 --> 02:44:38,000
Roberts justly deserves a round of applause he's getting right now.

2023
02:44:38,000 --> 02:44:43,000
At the end of 9 1 half innings of play remains a Dodgers 6 to throw it off your filly's half-stick.

2024
02:44:43,000 --> 02:44:46,000
I think you've got a score there too, haven't you, Jarron?

2025
02:44:46,000 --> 02:44:50,000
Why, you said it, Al. You know, I say a man's home is his castle.

2026
02:44:50,000 --> 02:44:52,000
Well, you take my word for it.

2027
02:44:52,000 --> 02:44:59,000
Nothing makes a guy feel more like a king in his castle than having a refrigerator that's well stocked with Schaeffer beer.

2028
02:44:59,000 --> 02:45:07,000
Man, it gives you a royal feeling to be able to step out to the kitchen any time and pour yourself a tall, cool glass of Schaeffer.

2029
02:45:07,000 --> 02:45:14,000
You just watch that golden amber Schaeffer rise up in the glass with a snowy white stone and a foam at the top.

2030
02:45:14,000 --> 02:45:19,000
And you're looking at the promise of enjoyment, real enjoyment.

2031
02:45:19,000 --> 02:45:21,000
And Schaeffer just never lets you down.

2032
02:45:21,000 --> 02:45:27,000
No, sir, it gives you the light, fleshy, satisfying flavor you want in beer.

2033
02:45:27,000 --> 02:45:33,000
The tang and sparkle of a crisp winter day on even the warmest afternoon.

2034
02:45:33,000 --> 02:45:35,000
What's Schaeffer's secret?

2035
02:45:35,000 --> 02:45:38,000
The finest brewing ingredients in the world.

2036
02:45:38,000 --> 02:45:41,000
What's Schaeffer's old-time brewing skill?

2037
02:45:41,000 --> 02:45:50,000
So for real, deep-down enjoyment, stock up your refrigerator with Schaeffer beer right away tonight or the first thing tomorrow.

2038
02:45:50,000 --> 02:45:52,000
It's real beer.

2039
02:45:52,000 --> 02:45:56,000
Bottom of the pants, and here's Willie Jones and back again to Al.

2040
02:45:56,000 --> 02:45:59,000
Willie Jones has been one of the heroes for Philadelphia tonight.

2041
02:45:59,000 --> 02:46:02,000
He's batted in a couple of runs for them.

2042
02:46:02,000 --> 02:46:12,000
LeBiont ties that fast curve on him and moves it over waist-high for strike one.

2043
02:46:12,000 --> 02:46:17,000
Jones tonight has doubled and he's singled in four times up and has driven in two runs.

2044
02:46:17,000 --> 02:46:26,000
LeBiont throws the fastball and Jones after it, hodders one into very short right field coming on to Carl Perillo and makes the catch.

2045
02:46:26,000 --> 02:46:32,000
Well, Jones goes down, has the first batter up in the last half, inning number nine.

2046
02:46:32,000 --> 02:46:35,000
That'll bring on Stan Lopata.

2047
02:46:35,000 --> 02:46:40,000
Stan has forced the man. He's walked. He's popped the short and he's rolled the short.

2048
02:46:40,000 --> 02:46:43,000
So they've pulled out the catcher tonight, his 0-3.

2049
02:46:43,000 --> 02:46:47,000
One out, the bases empty, last half of the 10th inning.

2050
02:46:47,000 --> 02:46:52,000
Wouldn't you know that the Dodgers would get one started like this?

2051
02:46:52,000 --> 02:46:57,000
Six and six were in the last half of inning number 10 at Conny Mack Stadium in Philadelphia.

2052
02:46:57,000 --> 02:47:01,000
Schaefer Beer happy to be sending the extra innings down.

2053
02:47:01,000 --> 02:47:09,000
Sidearm fastball to crouching Lopata is taken outside for ball one.

2054
02:47:09,000 --> 02:47:16,000
This is LeBiont's ball game to win or lose, just as it is Robin Roberts.

2055
02:47:16,000 --> 02:47:22,000
He's given up two base hits, delivers, his pitch is outside to Lopata for ball two.

2056
02:47:22,000 --> 02:47:26,000
Then got himself in a whale of trouble in the ninth inning.

2057
02:47:26,000 --> 02:47:36,000
One or two men on, he walked Boche to load the bases, but he bore down then to get Big Rip Propulski to pump up the short, thereby got out of the inning.

2058
02:47:36,000 --> 02:47:43,000
Old rubber arms out there now working the tenth. He's got one man down. There's nobody on behind him. He's got to count with Lopata ball two.

2059
02:47:43,000 --> 02:47:49,000
He delivers an overhand curve and Lopata leans back and takes one, flips in for a strike.

2060
02:47:49,000 --> 02:47:52,000
Counting Lopata, two and one.

2061
02:47:52,000 --> 02:47:58,000
If you haven't seen Lopata at bat, it sort of reminds you of a guy about to sit down in a kiddie's rocking chair somewhere.

2062
02:47:58,000 --> 02:48:01,000
That's the way he gets down fast.

2063
02:48:01,000 --> 02:48:05,000
What's that Jerry? The way you swingers off the air.

2064
02:48:05,000 --> 02:48:09,000
Now the two-one delivery on Stan Lopata.

2065
02:48:09,000 --> 02:48:17,000
LeBron comes in with it. Lopata backs off and takes another fast one in there, right over the fifth, what's called strike two.

2066
02:48:17,000 --> 02:48:24,000
Two balls and two strikes.

2067
02:48:24,000 --> 02:48:27,000
We'll duck in the other scores off today's openers.

2068
02:48:27,000 --> 02:48:31,000
That's as soon as we get an opportunity right off the chief of scoreboard.

2069
02:48:31,000 --> 02:48:36,000
Many of you may not have heard all of the final scores.

2070
02:48:36,000 --> 02:48:39,000
Overhand curve, Lopata takes low and outside.

2071
02:48:39,000 --> 02:48:43,000
Full count now on Stan, three balls, two strikes.

2072
02:48:43,000 --> 02:48:45,000
One out in the bottom of the tenth inning.

2073
02:48:45,000 --> 02:48:54,000
There are no base runners and the score here is locked up at six and six at Tonyamax Stadium in Summit, Alabama.

2074
02:48:54,000 --> 02:48:59,000
Opening day activities for the Dodgers and the Phillies.

2075
02:48:59,000 --> 02:49:05,000
Everything else is over.

2076
02:49:05,000 --> 02:49:08,000
Stan LeBron gets ready to bend that three-two pitch in there.

2077
02:49:08,000 --> 02:49:12,000
That's what he does and it's outside and half a ball for.

2078
02:49:12,000 --> 02:49:14,000
Lopata drops off the first base.

2079
02:49:14,000 --> 02:49:18,000
That'll be the second base on balls given up by Stan.

2080
02:49:18,000 --> 02:49:23,000
Coming up to the plate now, wearing the number ten on the back of his shirt, Bob Bowman, the right fielder.

2081
02:49:23,000 --> 02:49:32,000
He's driven in one run.

2082
02:49:32,000 --> 02:49:37,000
Two base hits for beautiful right fielder and four times up tonight.

2083
02:49:37,000 --> 02:49:41,000
Stan Lopata, not too fleet of foot, is on the first base.

2084
02:49:41,000 --> 02:49:46,000
LeBron, back over his left shoulder with a branching check of that base runner.

2085
02:49:46,000 --> 02:49:48,000
Looks down to this right-hand hitter now and is ready to go to work.

2086
02:49:48,000 --> 02:49:53,000
He delivers, the pass ball is low and outside.

2087
02:49:53,000 --> 02:49:56,000
One ball and no strikes.

2088
02:49:56,000 --> 02:49:59,000
Six-six here, otherwise in the National League.

2089
02:49:59,000 --> 02:50:02,000
Pittsburgh defeated the Giants 9-2.

2090
02:50:02,000 --> 02:50:04,000
Milwaukee defeated Chicago 4-1.

2091
02:50:04,000 --> 02:50:08,000
And St. Louis took Cincinnati 13-4.

2092
02:50:08,000 --> 02:50:12,000
We'll get the American League for you in a moment.

2093
02:50:12,000 --> 02:50:14,000
Now they won and owe delivery.

2094
02:50:14,000 --> 02:50:18,000
The Bowman, in it comes, pass ball, Bowman swings on it and pipes it up.

2095
02:50:18,000 --> 02:50:20,000
Roy Campanella lost it for the moment.

2096
02:50:20,000 --> 02:50:25,000
Now he has it and fouls ground off to the left of the plate and hauls it in.

2097
02:50:25,000 --> 02:50:32,000
Should have seen Dusty Buggers heading out of the way of that one.

2098
02:50:32,000 --> 02:50:34,000
Dusty couldn't have moved that fast last year.

2099
02:50:34,000 --> 02:50:38,000
He weighed about 40 pounds more than he does this year.

2100
02:50:38,000 --> 02:50:40,000
Boy, he's trimmed down to a mere nothing for Dusty.

2101
02:50:40,000 --> 02:50:43,000
I took his fish in this one around and slimmed him up a little.

2102
02:50:43,000 --> 02:50:45,000
Yeah, I know, you scared it out of him, Jerry.

2103
02:50:45,000 --> 02:50:47,000
He rocked the boat, I hear.

2104
02:50:47,000 --> 02:50:50,000
Out of the plate now is Ted Kizanski.

2105
02:50:50,000 --> 02:50:52,000
Lopata still at first, two down.

2106
02:50:52,000 --> 02:50:55,000
Kizanski one hit in four times.

2107
02:50:55,000 --> 02:50:58,000
Got a single to left field in the fourth inning.

2108
02:50:58,000 --> 02:51:10,000
LeBion delivers to him and Kizanski backs off and takes the sweeping curve ball over the outside corner for strike one.

2109
02:51:10,000 --> 02:51:13,000
Know something that goes good on those fish and drips, Jerry?

2110
02:51:13,000 --> 02:51:16,000
A table beer, you bet your life.

2111
02:51:16,000 --> 02:51:19,000
Now the 0-1 delivery on Ted Kizanski.

2112
02:51:19,000 --> 02:51:25,000
Lopata at first base, the pitch in there for a cold strike two.

2113
02:51:25,000 --> 02:51:43,000
LeBion reared back.

2114
02:51:43,000 --> 02:51:52,000
LeBion sets, looks at Lopata, delivers, Kizanski starts to go and changes his mind and the lead of fastball is outside.

2115
02:51:52,000 --> 02:51:55,000
One ball and two strikes.

2116
02:51:55,000 --> 02:52:01,000
Last half of inning number ten.

2117
02:52:01,000 --> 02:52:05,000
Overtime night affair at Philadelphia.

2118
02:52:05,000 --> 02:52:11,000
People will long remember this one regardless of which way the cat happens to jump.

2119
02:52:11,000 --> 02:52:14,000
LeBion had six runs and 11 hits.

2120
02:52:14,000 --> 02:52:18,000
LeBion delivers, Kizanski takes the curve is just outside.

2121
02:52:18,000 --> 02:52:21,000
Campanella thought it was in there.

2122
02:52:21,000 --> 02:52:28,000
Turns and says something over his shoulder to Dusty Bargit.

2123
02:52:28,000 --> 02:52:35,000
Got a 2-2 count on Ted Kizanski, the number eight hitter in the Philadelphia quarter.

2124
02:52:35,000 --> 02:52:40,000
Robin Roberts will be the next man up if needed.

2125
02:52:40,000 --> 02:52:42,000
2-2 pitch on this right-hand hitter.

2126
02:52:42,000 --> 02:52:44,000
Feet wide spread apart as Kizanski.

2127
02:52:44,000 --> 02:52:46,000
Lopata takes the lead at first base.

2128
02:52:46,000 --> 02:52:49,000
Down.

2129
02:52:49,000 --> 02:52:52,000
Iron wins his way out of this one.

2130
02:52:52,000 --> 02:52:54,000
Strikeout did.

2131
02:52:54,000 --> 02:52:57,000
Oh, for Clem, that's his first strikeout.

2132
02:52:57,000 --> 02:53:00,000
And in the tenth inning for Philadelphia, no runs, there were no base hits.

2133
02:53:00,000 --> 02:53:02,000
They leave a man, they strand the race.

2134
02:53:02,000 --> 02:53:04,000
Score at the end of ten.

2135
02:53:04,000 --> 02:53:09,000
The Dodgers six, left Philadelphia Philly's half six.

2136
02:53:09,000 --> 02:53:12,000
They're ready to go here in the eleventh inning, Roy Campanella standing in.

2137
02:53:12,000 --> 02:53:16,000
Roberts comes into him with a curveball, it's low and outside for ball one.

2138
02:53:16,000 --> 02:53:20,000
Down in the Brooklyn bullpen, he's got a left and right-hander warming up.

2139
02:53:20,000 --> 02:53:25,000
Johnny Pudras, the left-hander, and the right-hander is Don Besson.

2140
02:53:25,000 --> 02:53:28,000
Sidearm curveball and Campanella drills it to center field.

2141
02:53:28,000 --> 02:53:33,000
Ashburn is off to his left, still going back, reaches up and hauls it down.

2142
02:53:33,000 --> 02:53:48,000
Campanella, a long fly ball to center field for the first out in the eleventh inning.

2143
02:53:48,000 --> 02:53:52,000
Coming up to the plate now will be little Don Zimmer.

2144
02:53:52,000 --> 02:53:55,000
Don is homered, he's walked, he's struck out, and he's singled.

2145
02:53:55,000 --> 02:53:57,000
He's driven in one run.

2146
02:53:57,000 --> 02:53:59,000
Two hits for three at best tonight.

2147
02:53:59,000 --> 02:54:10,000
Roberts comes into him with a curveball and Zim after it, hits a foul right back to the screen for strike one.

2148
02:54:10,000 --> 02:54:14,000
Six runs, 11 hits for the Dodgers, six runs, 11 hits for Philadelphia.

2149
02:54:14,000 --> 02:54:20,000
One error committed, the Dodgers have that chalked up on their record.

2150
02:54:20,000 --> 02:54:27,000
Zim is swung on a miss for the second strike.

2151
02:54:27,000 --> 02:54:29,000
The Dodgers have stranded six men tonight.

2152
02:54:29,000 --> 02:54:34,000
Philadelphia Phillies have left on a total of eight.

2153
02:54:34,000 --> 02:54:42,000
Roberts out there still going, guns the ball in again to Zimmer, sidearm fastball, and that's low and outside.

2154
02:54:42,000 --> 02:54:46,000
One ball, two strikes.

2155
02:54:46,000 --> 02:54:55,000
Hope you've got plenty of shaper on hand, this ballgame could go on for quite a spell.

2156
02:54:55,000 --> 02:55:02,000
Zim pitch, outside, Roberts trying to crossfire on Zim to get him to bite at it.

2157
02:55:02,000 --> 02:55:04,000
Two balls, two strikes.

2158
02:55:04,000 --> 02:55:07,000
One out, top of the 11th.

2159
02:55:07,000 --> 02:55:12,000
The bases are empty, and Zim of the batter.

2160
02:55:12,000 --> 02:55:16,000
Roberts pitches to him, outside and high, the ball three.

2161
02:55:16,000 --> 02:55:22,000
So having gotten out in front to Zimmer, he's wasted three now and it's a full count.

2162
02:55:22,000 --> 02:55:27,000
Zimmer standing just off the plate, midway in batter's box.

2163
02:55:27,000 --> 02:55:30,000
Roberts checking up with Lopata for the signs.

2164
02:55:30,000 --> 02:55:32,000
Now comes the 3-2 delivery.

2165
02:55:32,000 --> 02:55:37,000
Sidearm fastball, and Zimmer pops it back foul to the screen.

2166
02:55:37,000 --> 02:55:42,000
Still riding the 3-2, down on the bullpen for Philadelphia.

2167
02:55:42,000 --> 02:55:48,000
Bob Miller gets up and starts to throw.

2168
02:55:48,000 --> 02:55:53,000
One out, top of the 11th.

2169
02:55:53,000 --> 02:55:55,000
3-2 pitch by Robin Roberts.

2170
02:55:55,000 --> 02:56:00,000
Sidearm curve, again his pop back foul, this is Wupp on top of the roof.

2171
02:56:00,000 --> 02:56:05,000
3-2 count on Don Zimmer.

2172
02:56:05,000 --> 02:56:14,000
One out, no base runner, top half of the 11th inning.

2173
02:56:14,000 --> 02:56:19,000
3-2 pitch, curve ball, Zimmer certainly hits back toward the mound, Zim tried to check his swing.

2174
02:56:19,000 --> 02:56:24,000
Roberts comes off the mound, feels fire to Bucing, and that's all for Zimmer.

2175
02:56:24,000 --> 02:56:27,000
Little Don tried to check his swing on a high curve ball.

2176
02:56:27,000 --> 02:56:31,000
Ball hits the bat anyway and trickles back toward the mound.

2177
02:56:31,000 --> 02:56:34,000
So all the two outs, top half of the 11th inning.

2178
02:56:34,000 --> 02:56:38,000
The batter will be Clem LeBine, not hit for himself.

2179
02:56:38,000 --> 02:56:42,000
This is Clem's ball game, the winner-lose.

2180
02:56:42,000 --> 02:56:49,000
He's been on a couple of jams, but he's been able to stay right in there and move out of them.

2181
02:56:49,000 --> 02:56:55,000
So this kind of sets the scene, doesn't it, for the Thursday opener with the Pittsburgh Pirates at Ebbets Field come Thursday.

2182
02:56:55,000 --> 02:57:01,000
Game at 1-30, we'll be on the air with you at 1-25.

2183
02:57:01,000 --> 02:57:04,000
Hope you've got your tickets for that one, that should be a score to two.

2184
02:57:04,000 --> 02:57:07,000
Those Pirates taking a jaunt today, 9-2.

2185
02:57:07,000 --> 02:57:13,000
Ball to LeBine, he checks his swing and takes it outside, 4-1.

2186
02:57:13,000 --> 02:57:19,000
That's Bob Friend went ripping right through today to beat Johnny Antonelli, one of the best left-handers in the business.

2187
02:57:19,000 --> 02:57:24,000
Sidearm curve swung on by LeBine and missed 4-1.

2188
02:57:24,000 --> 02:57:28,000
One ball, one strike. Two down, the bases empty, top of the 11th inning.

2189
02:57:28,000 --> 02:57:33,000
The ball game tied at 6-6.

2190
02:57:33,000 --> 02:57:36,000
LeBine, a right-hand hitter, waits.

2191
02:57:36,000 --> 02:57:40,000
Roberts tries to curve and it swung on, foul-tips.

2192
02:57:40,000 --> 02:57:42,000
Strike two.

2193
02:57:42,000 --> 02:57:50,000
That's how it froze right on the batman.

2194
02:57:50,000 --> 02:57:53,000
Now Roberts is ready again.

2195
02:57:53,000 --> 02:57:54,000
LeBine waits.

2196
02:57:54,000 --> 02:57:56,000
The 1-2 delivery.

2197
02:57:56,000 --> 02:57:59,000
Sidearm curve is hit back to the mound, it's knocked down by Roberts.

2198
02:57:59,000 --> 02:58:02,000
He scampers after, picked up, throws easily to first.

2199
02:58:02,000 --> 02:58:04,000
And LeBine is up.

2200
02:58:04,000 --> 02:58:09,000
Roberts in the past couple of innings has been a pretty busy fellow, not only firing him, but fielding him.

2201
02:58:09,000 --> 02:58:19,000
Nothing across for Brooks, in top of the 11th inning.

2202
02:58:19,000 --> 02:58:29,000
Robin Roberts, strong-armed right-hander, is a quick hitter, and of course tonight he's been batting all the way as a left-hander.

2203
02:58:29,000 --> 02:58:34,000
Coming out to meet Glenn LeBine here in the last half of the 11th inning.

2204
02:58:34,000 --> 02:58:38,000
Pretty good hitting pitcher, Roberts.

2205
02:58:38,000 --> 02:58:42,000
In case you're tuned in with us late, we'll set the Brooklyn defense for you in just a moment.

2206
02:58:42,000 --> 02:58:44,000
LeBine delivers, Roberts after it.

2207
02:58:44,000 --> 02:58:46,000
Curls one up the first base line foul.

2208
02:58:46,000 --> 02:58:49,000
Strike one.

2209
02:58:49,000 --> 02:58:55,000
Glenn LeBine, who came on in the eighth inning out there to win or lose it for Brooklyn, is better remade as Roy Campanella.

2210
02:58:55,000 --> 02:58:58,000
LeBine relieves Big John Newcomb.

2211
02:58:58,000 --> 02:59:00,000
The first base is Gil Hodges.

2212
02:59:00,000 --> 02:59:02,000
The second baseman is Jim Gilliam.

2213
02:59:02,000 --> 02:59:03,000
Shortstop Zimmer.

2214
02:59:03,000 --> 02:59:05,000
Third base, Randy Jackson.

2215
02:59:05,000 --> 02:59:09,000
He knows Somoli in left field, Snyder in center, Carl Cirillo in right.

2216
02:59:09,000 --> 02:59:10,000
LeBine is ready.

2217
02:59:10,000 --> 02:59:11,000
Delivers a one.

2218
02:59:11,000 --> 02:59:13,000
His pitch is swung on and hung out in the center field.

2219
02:59:13,000 --> 02:59:18,000
Snyder comes up to it and makes the catch.

2220
02:59:18,000 --> 02:59:24,000
Roberts is out, one away in the last half of the 11th inning.

2221
02:59:24,000 --> 02:59:33,000
Reggie Ashburn comes moving along now to start another batting go-around for the Philadelphia.

2222
02:59:33,000 --> 02:59:37,000
All tied, 6-6.

2223
02:59:37,000 --> 02:59:41,000
Ashburn is sort of the pesky type leadoff guy.

2224
02:59:41,000 --> 02:59:44,000
He'll punch you, he'll work you for a walk.

2225
02:59:44,000 --> 02:59:46,000
Very fast.

2226
02:59:46,000 --> 02:59:49,000
Can move well.

2227
02:59:49,000 --> 02:59:50,000
LeBine ready.

2228
02:59:50,000 --> 02:59:53,000
Delivers to him and Ashburn hits it right back to the mound in one hop.

2229
02:59:53,000 --> 02:59:58,000
LeBine takes it, turns, fires the first and that's all for Ashburn.

2230
02:59:58,000 --> 03:00:00,000
Oh, two up, two down.

2231
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:10,000
Last half of the 11th inning and the batter coming up is Chico Fernandez.

2232
03:00:10,000 --> 03:00:16,000
Chico, the former Dodgers.

2233
03:00:16,000 --> 03:00:19,000
With a five-time snipe, two bases and five tries.

2234
03:00:19,000 --> 03:00:20,000
He struck out one time.

2235
03:00:20,000 --> 03:00:21,000
That was for Don Newton.

2236
03:00:21,000 --> 03:00:26,000
LeBine fires to his former teammate and his pitch is high off the face.

2237
03:00:26,000 --> 03:00:28,000
The ball won.

2238
03:00:28,000 --> 03:00:30,000
Two down, last half of the 11th inning.

2239
03:00:30,000 --> 03:00:34,000
No base runner, score 6-6.

2240
03:00:34,000 --> 03:00:36,000
LeBine on the line.

2241
03:00:36,000 --> 03:00:46,000
Starts his motion, delivers an overhand fastball and cuts that one right through for a strike.

2242
03:00:46,000 --> 03:00:50,000
The outfield for Fernandez, laying around a bit to left and not too deep.

2243
03:00:50,000 --> 03:00:53,000
Chico Molley is playing the deepest in left field.

2244
03:00:53,000 --> 03:00:56,000
Randy Jackson pulled about a step and a half off the line deep behind Fird.

2245
03:00:56,000 --> 03:01:00,000
Jim Deep at shortstop, plugging up the hole.

2246
03:01:00,000 --> 03:01:05,000
An overhand curveball in there nicely for a called strike and that's the second one.

2247
03:01:05,000 --> 03:01:12,000
That one flipped in there about waist-high on the outside plate.

2248
03:01:12,000 --> 03:01:16,000
Last half, inning number 11.

2249
03:01:16,000 --> 03:01:21,000
The other extra inning ball game was an 11-inning affair over in the American League today.

2250
03:01:21,000 --> 03:01:27,000
Sidearm curve, called strike three, got him at the waist.

2251
03:01:27,000 --> 03:01:29,000
Fine work that crossfire in there very neatly.

2252
03:01:29,000 --> 03:01:31,000
That's going to be the second strike out of the clem.

2253
03:01:31,000 --> 03:01:33,000
So the 11th inning is over.

2254
03:01:33,000 --> 03:01:37,000
Kim Gilliams, Chico Molley and Snider, first three batters up against Robin Roberts.

2255
03:01:37,000 --> 03:01:39,000
And here again for Chico Molley and Al Helper.

2256
03:01:39,000 --> 03:01:43,000
This is the sixth batting around being started by Gilliam in tonight's play.

2257
03:01:43,000 --> 03:01:47,000
Jim has three singles and five times up, he's three for five.

2258
03:01:47,000 --> 03:01:50,000
Standing in on the top half of the 12th inning in the sixth-six ball game.

2259
03:01:50,000 --> 03:01:54,000
Hitting left-handed against Roberts, Gilliam is ready.

2260
03:01:54,000 --> 03:01:59,000
Roberts comes in there with the first pitch and Gilliam after hits a high fly ball in the straightaway right field.

2261
03:01:59,000 --> 03:02:01,000
It's an easy chance for Bowman.

2262
03:02:01,000 --> 03:02:03,000
Camps under it and takes it.

2263
03:02:03,000 --> 03:02:07,000
All one away, open the 12th inning.

2264
03:02:07,000 --> 03:02:14,000
So it would be the longest ball game of the opening day games.

2265
03:02:14,000 --> 03:02:20,000
Eleven inning went over in the American League between Chicago and Cleveland.

2266
03:02:20,000 --> 03:02:25,000
And the Dodgers and the Phillies participating now in a 12-inning ball game.

2267
03:02:25,000 --> 03:02:27,000
One out, nobody on top of the 12th.

2268
03:02:27,000 --> 03:02:30,000
Gino Somoli standing in.

2269
03:02:30,000 --> 03:02:38,000
Roberts delivers to him and Somoli takes the fast one over for a strike.

2270
03:02:38,000 --> 03:02:40,000
Somoli's been up five times.

2271
03:02:40,000 --> 03:02:42,000
This is his sixth whack at it tonight.

2272
03:02:42,000 --> 03:02:45,000
He has two base hits, two singles.

2273
03:02:45,000 --> 03:02:47,000
Pitch way outside to get away from Lopata.

2274
03:02:47,000 --> 03:02:51,000
That'll be ball one.

2275
03:02:51,000 --> 03:02:57,000
Soon as we find out what happens with Gino, we'll have time for station identification.

2276
03:02:57,000 --> 03:03:01,000
That'll get us in near that 11 o'clock spot.

2277
03:03:01,000 --> 03:03:03,000
Shot on curve, Somoli after it.

2278
03:03:03,000 --> 03:03:06,000
It's a long ball, a steep drive to left field.

2279
03:03:06,000 --> 03:03:15,000
And it is into the left field stand for home run for Gino Somoli to break the 6-6-5.

2280
03:03:15,000 --> 03:03:20,000
He kept telling you that boy could hit that long ball this year and he just did it.

2281
03:03:20,000 --> 03:03:24,000
Drive into left center field stands to put the Dodgers out in front.

2282
03:03:24,000 --> 03:03:27,000
Seven to six, now let's pause for station identification.

2283
03:03:27,000 --> 03:03:30,000
This is the Brooklyn Dodger radio network.

2284
03:03:30,000 --> 03:03:35,000
Dial 1460 WOKO Albany, New York.

2285
03:03:35,000 --> 03:03:43,000
Virgil Finkeley, usually heard at this time, will be delayed until after the ballgame.

2286
03:03:43,000 --> 03:03:46,000
LWS.

2287
03:03:46,000 --> 03:03:48,000
They're standing in.

2288
03:03:48,000 --> 03:03:51,000
Takes the first pitch in there for a strike.

2289
03:03:51,000 --> 03:03:55,000
Yeah, like and well imagined, Gino Somoli will long remember tonight.

2290
03:03:55,000 --> 03:03:58,000
Put the swung on, hit down to the right side,

2291
03:03:58,000 --> 03:04:03,000
gobble up at second base to throw the first in time and Sider goes down.

2292
03:04:03,000 --> 03:04:07,000
Two down in the 12th inning.

2293
03:04:07,000 --> 03:04:11,000
Gino Somoli, by parking that ball into left center field lower deck,

2294
03:04:11,000 --> 03:04:16,000
hits his first major league home run.

2295
03:04:16,000 --> 03:04:20,000
From now on we'll have to call him Muckle Somoli.

2296
03:04:20,000 --> 03:04:23,000
He's hitting that ball well this year, believe me.

2297
03:04:23,000 --> 03:04:26,000
Here's Carl Perillo standing in now.

2298
03:04:26,000 --> 03:04:29,000
The Dodgers lead it, seven to six on 12th.

2299
03:04:29,000 --> 03:04:33,000
Sidearm curve for Perillo is low and outside.

2300
03:04:33,000 --> 03:04:37,000
Ball one.

2301
03:04:37,000 --> 03:04:39,000
The Dodgers have hit three home runs tonight.

2302
03:04:39,000 --> 03:04:42,000
Zimmer and Somoli, the two young fellows who wanted to play in this ball club,

2303
03:04:42,000 --> 03:04:45,000
have hit home runs and the veteran Gil Hud.

2304
03:04:45,000 --> 03:04:46,000
Next pitch is swung on by Perillo.

2305
03:04:46,000 --> 03:04:49,000
He pops it up right up over our heads.

2306
03:04:49,000 --> 03:04:52,000
That goes to the roof out of play.

2307
03:04:52,000 --> 03:05:05,000
One ball and one strike.

2308
03:05:05,000 --> 03:05:09,000
Perillo back in batter's box now.

2309
03:05:09,000 --> 03:05:11,000
Sidearm pitch by Roberts is way outside.

2310
03:05:11,000 --> 03:05:14,000
He gets away from Lopata.

2311
03:05:14,000 --> 03:05:18,000
Two balls and a strike to count on Carl Perillo with two down.

2312
03:05:18,000 --> 03:05:22,000
The ball is empty and the Dodgers by virtue of Somoli's home run,

2313
03:05:22,000 --> 03:05:27,000
leading it seven to six.

2314
03:05:27,000 --> 03:05:30,000
Shapr Bear send it to you from Philadelphia.

2315
03:05:30,000 --> 03:05:34,000
Sidearm curve is low.

2316
03:05:34,000 --> 03:05:36,000
Down on Perillo, three and one.

2317
03:05:36,000 --> 03:05:43,000
Miller up throwing again down in the Philadelphia bullpen.

2318
03:05:43,000 --> 03:05:49,000
He's up right now. You're enjoying America's oldest lager bear, Shapr.

2319
03:05:49,000 --> 03:05:52,000
Sidearm pitch is in there for a strike.

2320
03:05:52,000 --> 03:05:58,000
A three-two count on Carl Perillo.

2321
03:05:58,000 --> 03:06:01,000
Boy, over 37,000 folks here tonight have been enjoying this one.

2322
03:06:01,000 --> 03:06:04,000
It's been nip and tuck all the way.

2323
03:06:04,000 --> 03:06:06,000
It's seen plenty of action.

2324
03:06:06,000 --> 03:06:08,000
Plenty of it.

2325
03:06:08,000 --> 03:06:11,000
Twenty-three base hits, 13 runs.

2326
03:06:11,000 --> 03:06:14,000
Sidearm curve low and outside for ball four.

2327
03:06:14,000 --> 03:06:17,000
Perillo throws his stick away and drops off the first base on the fourth base

2328
03:06:17,000 --> 03:06:19,000
on balls given up by Roberts.

2329
03:06:19,000 --> 03:06:22,000
Coming up to the plate now is Gil Hodges.

2330
03:06:22,000 --> 03:06:26,000
Gil has hit one of the three home runs the Dodgers have manufactured tonight.

2331
03:06:26,000 --> 03:06:32,000
That's his only base blow and he has a run driven in with it, of course.

2332
03:06:32,000 --> 03:06:39,000
He won for four. He walked one time.

2333
03:06:39,000 --> 03:06:42,000
Roberts to the stretch, checks Perillo at first.

2334
03:06:42,000 --> 03:06:46,000
Delivers the plate to the sidearm pitch that's a little high.

2335
03:06:46,000 --> 03:06:49,000
One ball and no strikes.

2336
03:06:49,000 --> 03:06:52,000
No ball game tomorrow for the Brooklyn Dodgers,

2337
03:06:52,000 --> 03:06:55,000
but they'll be getting ready for the big one Thursday afternoon

2338
03:06:55,000 --> 03:06:58,000
with the Pittsburgh Pirates opening day at Ebbets Field.

2339
03:06:58,000 --> 03:07:00,000
Sidearm pitch, they hit down to second base.

2340
03:07:00,000 --> 03:07:02,000
Through Kizansky's legs and out in the right field.

2341
03:07:02,000 --> 03:07:05,000
Carl Perillo goes down to second base and holds on.

2342
03:07:05,000 --> 03:07:07,000
That ball was hit right through Kizansky.

2343
03:07:07,000 --> 03:07:12,000
He went down to field it, didn't come up with it, so it's an error.

2344
03:07:12,000 --> 03:07:15,000
On Kizansky.

2345
03:07:15,000 --> 03:07:19,000
Each side now has a miscue, both charged to second base.

2346
03:07:19,000 --> 03:07:27,000
Perillo at second holding on.

2347
03:07:27,000 --> 03:07:31,000
The batter coming up is Randy Jackson.

2348
03:07:31,000 --> 03:07:34,000
Randy's been popping that ball pretty well this spring, too.

2349
03:07:34,000 --> 03:07:35,000
He's got started.

2350
03:07:35,000 --> 03:07:37,000
However, tonight he's been handcuffed.

2351
03:07:37,000 --> 03:07:41,000
He's 0-4-5.

2352
03:07:41,000 --> 03:07:45,000
Seven to six to score in favor of the Dodgers.

2353
03:07:45,000 --> 03:07:46,000
Roberts fits.

2354
03:07:46,000 --> 03:07:53,000
Delivers the runner's move to pitch a swing on a missed strike three.

2355
03:07:53,000 --> 03:07:56,000
Let's see, that'll be strike out number eight for Roberts.

2356
03:07:56,000 --> 03:08:01,000
And in the 12th inning, the Brooklyn Dodgers pick one up.

2357
03:08:01,000 --> 03:08:05,000
First baseman is up to face Ben LeBine in the last half of 12th.

2358
03:08:05,000 --> 03:08:07,000
That ball gets hit down to the right side.

2359
03:08:07,000 --> 03:08:09,000
Gillian in front of it scoops it out of the dirt.

2360
03:08:09,000 --> 03:08:11,000
Hodges covers first base across and that's the first out.

2361
03:08:11,000 --> 03:08:12,000
Two balls, no strikes.

2362
03:08:12,000 --> 03:08:14,000
The count on the pulse.

2363
03:08:14,000 --> 03:08:15,000
Campanella sets the middles of target.

2364
03:08:15,000 --> 03:08:18,000
LeBine throws the pass ball and it's ripped down to second on one big hop.

2365
03:08:18,000 --> 03:08:20,000
Gillian's got it, goes to first.

2366
03:08:20,000 --> 03:08:21,000
There's the second out.

2367
03:08:21,000 --> 03:08:24,000
Willie Jones hits one down to third.

2368
03:08:24,000 --> 03:08:26,000
Jackson's got it, goes to first base.

2369
03:08:26,000 --> 03:08:27,000
That's it.

2370
03:08:27,000 --> 03:08:29,000
It's all over.

2371
03:08:29,000 --> 03:08:34,000
And the Dodgers win the opener at Sonny McStadium in Philadelphia as the

2372
03:08:34,000 --> 03:08:37,000
National League starts its 82nd season of play.

2373
03:08:37,000 --> 03:08:39,000
Nothing across for the Phils in the 12th.

2374
03:08:39,000 --> 03:08:43,000
12 beginnings and a successful start to the defense of their

2375
03:08:43,000 --> 03:08:44,000
National League championship.

2376
03:08:44,000 --> 03:08:48,000
For the Dodgers, seven runs, 12 hits, one error, eight men left on.

2377
03:08:48,000 --> 03:09:04,000
And for the Philadelphia Phils, six runs, 11 hits, one error, and eight men left on.
