00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
The Detroit Tigers faced the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park for a Friday night game on April 15, 1983.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Detroit was managed by Sparky Anderson and they were a team on the rise.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,000
The farm system had produced a young crop of talent throughout the center of the diamond including Lance Parrish, Jack Morris, Lou Whitaker and Alan Trammell.

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:32,000
They had finished over 500 in each of Anderson's four seasons and were looking to make a run for the AL East Pennant in 1983.

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Chicago was managed by Tony LaRusso and they were looking to make a push for the AL West Pennant after LaRusso brought them out of the cellar and turned them into a third place team in both 1981 and 82.

7
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,000
This audio recording is from the Chicago Radio broadcast featuring announcers Joe McConnell and Early Win.

8
00:00:47,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Without giving away any spoilers, this turns out to be an extremely exciting game from one viewer or another. So at the end of this game we've also added the ninth inning call from the Tigers radio broadcast featuring announcers Ernie Harwell and Paul Carey.

9
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Here in the top half of the first inning, Joe McConnell along with Early Win.

10
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Well, he's chicken if he takes that way out, Joe and Bunt put a cold night.

11
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Fastball strike called a high inside corner like challenging the hitters much more this year he used to try to pick and finesse his way down and away a lot.

12
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Keep that ball away even for the left handed hitters but now he's coming in with it this year.

13
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,000
There's a swing and a little wrist foul looped out of play on the third base side behind the White Sox dugout the board has two balls and a strike.

14
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:41,000
I could have sworn that Joe Brickman on play up by a shot that right arm up just a little bit late after that second pitch but apparently not.

15
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000
I think you're right Joe I think he did.

16
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:52,000
And you're right also with hard challenging Johnson there because he really popped a good pass and right it on his handle boards got two and one will just have to wait him out here.

17
00:01:52,000 --> 00:02:01,000
White rocks into the wind up here's the pitch swung on a little squibber passed about rolling on the grass rebound up to the first he got him out.

18
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Where does our charge in and make a quick pickup. He used the glove and threw a quick side arm underhand left to Walker at first to get Johnson by a stride.

19
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Bernard made the only play he could. I don't think he could have held on that ball and got a good hold on it if he tried to catch it with his hand as slippery as everything is tonight as well as it is just lost it.

20
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:27,000
He just barely had time to go from glove to hand to Larry Herndon big tall lanky right handed hitting left fielder hitting three twenty four up to a good start.

21
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:37,000
He had a good year last year for the Tigers coming over from the San Francisco Giants he has twelve hits and thirty seven at bats two homers and six runs batted in his one for eight with an RBI against the White Sox.

22
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Boyd starts him off with a slow curve that hangs inside just below the knee ball one.

23
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,000
I feel fairly deep and just a bit around to the left favoring Herndon's power.

24
00:02:48,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Crosswind here tonight blowing out of the West at 14 it'll help the balls to write there's a swing and a foul field back up on the net behind home plate and it jumps up off the net into the seats below us here the open deck the gold seats here at

25
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:19,000
the Mesquite Park in the count is even a one on one down to Herndon he was 0 for 4 against like in Detroit temperature 45 degrees game time on the lakefront we're about five minutes away here at 40 degrees at O'Hare and it's supposed to get down into the 20s tonight.

26
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Swing and a miss on a pitch down and in one and two the camp to her did with two out nobody on the top half of the first inning.

27
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Boyd a chunky right hander at 6 1 about 222 that full full beard bushy hair sticking out at each side of the baseball cap the big leg kick and the delivery check swing didn't mean to hit it rolls it foul down the first base side.

28
00:03:45,000 --> 00:04:00,000
And solo is still the first base coach for Sparky Anderson's Tigers Billy Consolo and longtime third base coach Alex Gramis still over there. Gramis himself a former Major League manager.

29
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:09,000
So Larry Gerr got his third win this afternoon on opening day spoiling the Brew Crews first game at County Stadium and prison Mary picked up his third save.

30
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
So the veteran left hander off to a fine start.

31
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,000
One and two the camp to her didn't straight up and down stance slightly spread straight.

32
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Good heart slider thrown by the right hander.

33
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:40,000
One two three inning for the Tigers and their half of the first inning at the Mesquite Park one half inning in the books Detroit nothing the White Sox coming to that.

34
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:53,000
You know you do you know the king of business coming through.

35
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Oh you do.

36
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:17,000
This is coming through.

37
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:28,000
This was for you.

38
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000
And I was saying Louis Missouri.

39
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Hi Pat Summerall to say true value hardware stores can help you get a head start on your summer do it yourself projects.

40
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Their spring and summer catalog has great values on everything you need for repairs and remodeling jobs. You'll get high torque power with the power grip three in one screwdriver just six forty nine.

41
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:52,000
And you can enhance wood fencing paneling and cabinets with select latex redwood stain.

42
00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:06,000
It's only three ninety eight a gallon in the spring and summer catalog and at participating true value hardware stores and home centers and say that Pat Summerall sent you play trivia with Jim Tyler each afternoon here on sixty seven WMAQ Chicago America's most listened to country music.

43
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Station 42 degrees.

44
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Defensively the Detroit Tigers will have heard it in left lemon and center Wilson and right.

45
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Our Johnson the glove man at third travel a short win.

46
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:26,000
You're at second Rick Leach at first and big Lance Parish the catcher right hander and milk milk Wilcox 32 years of age.

47
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,000
He's got a birthday coming up next week on the 20th of April.

48
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Now there's eleven big league season came up with the Cincinnati Reds in 1970 spent three years at Cleveland partial year with the Cubs in seventy five he was sent down to Wichita.

49
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,000
And since joining the Tigers he's been the most consistent right handed starting pitcher in baseball.

50
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Over the last five years he has won between twelve and thirteen ballgames and has lost between nine and twelve he was thirteen and twelve.

51
00:06:52,000 --> 00:07:01,000
And twelve and ten thirteen eleven twelve and nine and eighty one even though that was a strike interrupted season last year he was twelve and ten.

52
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:09,000
He's a highball pitcher has a good forecourt to his slider pitcher most of the most of the way and occasionally will help up on a fastball.

53
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,000
He is six and seven against the White Sox with a loss earlier this year and he's one ninety big league ballgames.

54
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,000
He can be cute at times.

55
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,000
He'll face Rudy Law Tony Bernard and Harold Baines a trio of left handed swingers.

56
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Rudy hitting two twenty two with four hits and eighteen at bats one of them a double two for four against Wilcox in Detroit for Rudy and he had that two base hit against Wilcox.

57
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000
They play him around to the left of the outfield expecting him to hit late.

58
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:39,000
That's stiff legged open stance.

59
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Wilcox rocks into that double puff wind up here's the pitch and the breaking ball is high ball one.

60
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Sox trying to make it three straight over to twine there three and one against the East with all three losses three of the four losses against the Texas Rangers in that opening sweep down in Texas.

61
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Rudy goes after that pitch a bit late slices it foul upstairs right below us here over the top of the net.

62
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
The count is a ball and a strike.

63
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Kurt Gibson the big play put it right fielder Gus who was injured a bit in that recent series at Detroit with the White Sox went under what arthroscopic knee surgery on Monday could be available to play they say possibly this weekend.

64
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,000
They took a tiny piece of cartilage out of his knee.

65
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,000
He's going to be all right.

66
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Which is a bit close at the day ball to strike one to count to Rudy Law leading it off in the bottom of the first for the White Sox.

67
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Well I don't see how he could run as fast he does with something in his knee or something wrong with it.

68
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:40,000
You know Wilcox is one of the guys very few guys that gets away with picking high consistently.

69
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000
There's a one half liner belt high to travel.

70
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,000
He's got it over the first and Rudy's out by a step flag on that line.

71
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000
He was nothing more than a blur running down from home plate to first base.

72
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:56,000
In fact all the people in the know about baseball say that you can't win consistently by pitching high.

73
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,000
It is tough to do all right.

74
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000
No doubt about it.

75
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Wilcox losing to the White Sox.

76
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Worked six and two thirds innings gave a big hit six runs for earned in Detroit.

77
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Dennis Lamp was a winner that day.

78
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Here's what you're getting second.

79
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Sackard Tony Berners-Arndt is it safely in six straight.

80
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:21,000
He's been counted only in the opener is hitting three twenty three with ten hits and thirty one at bats a double a triple a homer and five runs batted in.

81
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000
He takes strike at the knees all one.

82
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:31,000
He's already the left handed hitter hitting only two thirty five he's much better average wise as a right handed hitter so far this year.

83
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:36,000
In fact his home run was hit here as a right handed swinger on opening day last Tuesday.

84
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Wilcox pumps and deals swung on smashed up the middle high bounce over the bag taken by travel over the first they got him out.

85
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:51,000
That ball hit the pitching rubber went right by Wilcox and that came up miraculously almost for travel who never would have made the play had the ball on the ground.

86
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:57,000
No I thought for a moment it had hit Wilcox but when I saw he didn't flinch I knew it didn't hit him.

87
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Well that ball looked like it was ticketed for center field.

88
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Instead slowed it down and everything just right for travel travel made the play behind the bag and Berners-Arndt was out by two steps.

89
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Here's right fielder Harold Bayes.

90
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
He's hit safely in six out of seven.

91
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Two ninety two average for Bayes seven hits twenty four at bats still looking for that first home run.

92
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000
He and Glenn Wilson are the Tigers who tied for the early lead in triples with two apiece.

93
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,000
He feels a foul upstairs behind old play out of play going after a little high pitch.

94
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,000
The count is on one.

95
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Bayes with six RBI's two for three including one of his two triples and three runs batted in against Wilcox.

96
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Last Sunday in Detroit.

97
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,000
The pitch on the way to Bayes.

98
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,000
He swings and pops a foul again third base side.

99
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000
It's going to drift back into the third row.

100
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:50,000
The upper deck below the luxury boxes on the third base side the count is on to one of the things that may have changed.

101
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Those people thought are those who didn't know about pitching high and winning is the slider and a sticky fastball.

102
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
If you got those two you can get away with it.

103
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Wilcox on to fastball high one and two to camp the base with two out nobody on Luzinski on deck.

104
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Took a tour of one of these luxury boxes out here and they're all sold out but to they expect that they might be sold for the weekend.

105
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Well they've got those big heat lamps out there for those outside seats and they really are nice.

106
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:24,000
There's a chopper to the right side glove wide of the bag by leech underhand flip to Wilcox reaches back for it and makes the play at first.

107
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000
A three one put out on Bayes and a one two three inning for Milt Wilcox against the White Sox in the first.

108
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000
After one completed at Kavisky Park no score the Sox and the Tigers.

109
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,000
After the game it's Jimmy Pearsall on WMAQ.

110
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:54,000
People love eating Jay's delicious thick cut and thin cut dip at potato chips so much it's practically impossible to get him to stop.

111
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:00,000
I stopped eating Jay's thick cut dipettes. You did? I started eating Jay's thin cut dipettes.

112
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Both dipettes are tailor made for dipping. Thick cut dipettes with their crunchy wide rows and thin cut dipettes with their crispy thin rows.

113
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Confucius say man who claim to eat just one Jay's dipette have rest of bag hidden in his Bermuda's.

114
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Confucius also say man with Jay's and Bermuda's gonna sit down to one big crunch.

115
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Try Jay's thick cut and Jay's thin cut dipettes soon. Don't go for a dip without a dip.

116
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:42,000
No matter what the score is the biggest hit of every Sox game is Dubuque White Sox Plumpers.

117
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Because Dubuque White Sox Plumpers are bigger than ordinary hot dogs.

118
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Bigger on a bun. Bigger on taste. Filled with so much mild meaty flavor. Your satisfaction's guaranteed.

119
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000
But the best part is you don't have to go to the game to get that great Dubuque taste.

120
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Just pick up a package of plumpers at your supermarket. You'll find plumpers are a hit wherever you enjoy them.

121
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Dubuque White Sox Plumpers, the official hot dog of the Chicago White Sox.

122
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:13,000
67 WMAQ Chicago winner of the 1983 United Press International Station of the Year Award for News.

123
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Right now at 7.50 on your radio station.

124
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,000
You set a record for American League catchers of the year with 32 off runs last season.

125
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:25,000
We'll step in to lead off the Tigers second. He's hitting just 148 this time around.

126
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Four hits, one of them a double and 27 at bats, four RBIs.

127
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,000
He was 0 for 2 against Hoyt. He's 1 for 5 on the ribby against the White Sox.

128
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Check swing on a slider, low and away. Ball one.

129
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,000
Hoyt took something off of that pitch. Outfield deep and around to the left.

130
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000
So is the infield. Back on the rim of the grass for Parrish.

131
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:47,000
He'll be followed by Johnny Grubb the DH tonight and Gibson stead and then Glenn Wilson.

132
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Big sweeping curve over but low. Ball two. The cap to Parrish leading off the second.

133
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:58,000
No score. Neither team has had a base runner yet.

134
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Hoyt has now struck out nine men in 17 in the third innings.

135
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,000
He leads the Sox staff in innings pitch. This is his third start.

136
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,000
There's a deep drive. Right center field in the gap. It's hooking a little bit towards Paine.

137
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,000
He's way out there on the warning track and he plays it off bullpen number two.

138
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Out on the right center field wall. The throw comes back in at Parrish.

139
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
He's in the second base standing with a long opposite field double.

140
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Hoyt tried to stop that pitch. That's why Hart was throwing his breakers though.

141
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Trying to keep it away from him. Keep him off stride.

142
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Taking something off of it.

143
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:33,000
How would you kids like to have an official replica of the rings they all serve will get this year for playing in the 1983 All-Star game at Comiskey Park?

144
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Well you can get one courtesy of True Value Hardware stores by attending the Sox game with the Tigers Sunday April 17.

145
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:46,000
It's All-Star Ring Day with a free All-Star ring to the first 15,000 kids 14 and under accompanied by an add-up.

146
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Stop at Comiskey Park or call Ticketmaster for the best seats 559-1212.

147
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Johnny Grubb left-handed hitter. An outfielder by trade in the lineup as a DH.

148
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Came over just before the start of the year for right-handed reliever Dave Tolpik who was sent to the Texas Rangers.

149
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Grubb hitting 429. Three hits and seven at bats and he waves and misses.

150
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Had a good secure down just below the knees. The count is on one.

151
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Grubb has three RBIs and a double among his three hits.

152
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,000
And he knocked in a game winner up at Minnesota in the first two games of the year.

153
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Outfield straight away and medium deep. Parish at second. Nobody out.

154
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
We're in the top half of the second inning. Hoyt working out of the stretch for the first time.

155
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000
The big leg kick and he deals. Low it inside. A ball and a strike to Grubb.

156
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:36,000
The number five hitter in Sparky Anderson's Tiger lineup today.

157
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:42,000
More like football weather here in Chicago. Temperature expected to drop into the 20s tonight.

158
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:47,000
And it's probably under 40 degrees here. Now start of tonight's ballgame.

159
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Hoyt delivers to Grubb. Swing and a foul tip into the dirt. Fist couldn't hang on. One ball and two strikes.

160
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,000
It must be tough on a catcher to be catching a guy like Hoyt tonight.

161
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:04,000
Good fastball and first back there was nothing but a little sponge between his hand and the leather.

162
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,000
That ball pounded in there. Really rough on a sickleball pitcher.

163
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,000
There'll be a lot of bees in the bat handle as well. Here's the pitch. Bouncer to the right side.

164
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000
It's sharply backhanded by Walker. Nice play.

165
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Wiel throws to Hoyt who staggers but caught the ball down around knee high.

166
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,000
And continued across the bag at first for a rather tricky 3-1 put out. Parish moved to third.

167
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:30,000
It's very tricky and that was Walker's fault. It was a little bit because he threw the ball overhanded.

168
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000
And instead of running into it a little bit, he threw the ball just about knee high.

169
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Maybe a little bit below to Hoyt.

170
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:42,000
The best thing a first baseman can do is run in a little bit, toss the ball underhand and get it up about shoulder high.

171
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,000
He was backpedaling away from the bag at an angle to flag that one down.

172
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,000
He's a right-handed fielding first baseman although he bats left-handed from the plate.

173
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,000
He had time though to turn around and toss that ball underhand.

174
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Here's Glenn Wilson, right-handed hitting right fielder. A swing and a miss.

175
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000
A little bit late and a pitch down around the knees all at once.

176
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,000
He was 1-4 with an RBI and a triple when he faced Hoyt in Detroit.

177
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,000
He's hitting 3-20 with 8 hits and 25 advance.

178
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,000
He has a double, two triples, tying in for the league lead with Harold Baines.

179
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000
He has also hovered this year and he's knocked in 7 runs already.

180
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,000
Slight crowd straightaway stance. He takes a pitch down low.

181
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Just a bit closer to the knees for a ball.

182
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,000
One ball and one strike. Parish at third, one out.

183
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,000
We're in the Tigers' second. No score here early in Chicago.

184
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Tigers beat the Yankees 2 out of 3. They lost last night.

185
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,000
The White Sox now have won 3 out of 4 after dropping their first 3 in Texas.

186
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Two against this ball club.

187
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Fastball low, ball 2.

188
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Chad Lemon, former Sox outfielder on deck.

189
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000
He's the number 7 hitter for the Tigers tonight.

190
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Our congratulations to the Chicago Blackhawks who outskated the Minnesota North Stars 7-4

191
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000
before 17-5 at the stadium this afternoon.

192
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,000
They've taken a two-game lead in their best of seven second round Stanley Cup playoff series.

193
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000
High ball to right field. That ought to score the run.

194
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Near the line and it falls. Oh foul by less than a foot.

195
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Boy Gus, I thought that ball was in there for sure,

196
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,000
but it just drifted across the foul line and dropped out of Baines' reach in foul territory.

197
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,000
So Parish will have to go back to third.

198
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,000
I was sitting in the same seat with him because I certainly thought it was fair

199
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,000
and it didn't go foul but just a couple of feet.

200
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,000
You know, we're going to have to readjust a little bit this year

201
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:27,000
with the home plate and the entire infield moved out further away by 8 feet.

202
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,000
We have a little bit different angle to judge down the foul lines here.

203
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000
A year ago the ball that looked like that would have been fair,

204
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,000
but this one dropped foul by maybe 10 inches or so and so White got a break.

205
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Yes, they're also closer this year.

206
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
That was Worry City right there.

207
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Looked like a blooper nobody could get to.

208
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Wilson cracked his bat on the previous swing,

209
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,000
so he comes back to the plate now with a blank-tire rag and a new handle.

210
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,000
One on one out, Parish over at third for the Tigers here in the top of the second inning.

211
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Tomorrow afternoon Floyd Bannister will get another start after being shelved from the mound

212
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,000
and is outing here on Tuesday.

213
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Bannister will pitch against the ace of the Tigers staff right into Danny Petrie,

214
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,000
who's 2-0 already.

215
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000
There's a swing deep, drive right center field in the gap.

216
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,000
That's going to score the run even if it's caught.

217
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Long way out there, up off the wall and one bounce.

218
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Wilson around second, going for three.

219
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Here's a relay to the third base back.

220
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Here's a relay to the third base back.

221
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
He is in there with a slide, he is safe.

222
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Just a bit to the outfield side was Bernisard's relay.

223
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Otherwise, they might have had Wilson on a close play,

224
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,000
but he tripled in the gap to right center.

225
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,000
His third free-banger of the year and he takes over the American League lead,

226
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,000
and that's his eighth run batted into the Tigers lead, it's one to nothing.

227
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,000
That was the same one that Parish hit, same spot.

228
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Only thing was it was about 20 foot shorter.

229
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,000
It hit at warning track there, just at the base of the wall,

230
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:56,000
about 10 or 15 feet slow, but Parish is hit up on top of it, almost on top.

231
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Darn, your home run for Parish, but that one was well hit, no doubt about it.

232
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Now, a runner at third with one out and a run in.

233
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Here's Chad Lemon, two for four, including a ninth inning homer in Detroit against Hoyt.

234
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,000
He's hitting free-23 with 10 hits and 31 at bats.

235
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,000
One homer, one RBI, first pitch, he whacks a foul upstairs.

236
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,000
The unknown player on the first base side of the screen is Hoyt came inside,

237
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,000
hand high, with a good fastball.

238
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Well, tonight's a perfect night to challenge those hitters by throwing the ball in on the fist.

239
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Yeah, there'll be some of them back away from that.

240
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,000
They don't want to feel those bees.

241
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Got to get it inside though, you can't get it out over the plate.

242
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Jet crowds that plate with a slightly open stance.

243
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Swing and a foul chop into the dirt, right by Lemon's feet.

244
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,000
The count is on two. Outfield straight away and fairly deep.

245
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,000
One-nothing Tigers late here in the top of the second inning on a couple of extra base hits.

246
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:02,000
A leadoff double by Parish and a one-out triple by Glenn Wilson,

247
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:07,000
scoring them both almost to the identical part of the ballpark in the deep gap in right center.

248
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Infield is pulled in, hoping to cut down Wilson in the third if he tries to score.

249
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,000
There's a little loop in the right field. That's going to score Wilson a base hit for Jet Lemon.

250
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:21,000
Fielded out there by Harold Baines, and the Tigers lead it to the nothing on Lemon's second RBI of the year

251
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,000
as he just inside out of that pitch and flared it in the right field over the pulled-in infield.

252
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Well, here we go again.

253
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:34,000
Oh, it's first two outings. He picks well enough to win both of them.

254
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,000
But he's being cuffed around a bit here in the second inning of this ballgame tonight.

255
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,000
Two-nothing Tigers. Here's Rick Leach, former football quarterback at Michigan and native of Ann Arbor.

256
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Left-handed hitting first baseman at 286 average on the year.

257
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Two hits and seven advanced. Two RBIs.

258
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Straightaway stance, slightly closed.

259
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Quite goes over to first base to keep Jet close to the bag.

260
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:01,000
Leach did that play against the White Sox the day Hoyt pitched in Detroit.

261
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Hoyt to the belt. Look at first, and he steps off the rubber.

262
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Ian Cheddar playing games over there.

263
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Still only one out here in the top of the second. Hoyt had a one-two-three inning in the first.

264
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:18,000
But he's running into a bit of trouble here in the second as the Tigers have nicked him twice.

265
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Two runs on three hits. Still only one out.

266
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,000
I feel straightaway for Leach and medium deep.

267
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Ground ball, beat into the dirt foul. Gloved by Greg Walker over near first base coach's box.

268
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,000
And the count is all one down to Rick Leach. He's the number eight hitter.

269
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Alan Trammell, the shortstop, is one down.

270
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Hoyt appears to have good stuff tonight, Joe, but a lot of times a guy will have good stuff.

271
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,000
He'll know he's got good stuff.

272
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,000
And he depends on it. Challenge the hitter a little bit too much with just everything.

273
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Not wearing the right clothes.

274
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,000
And it gets him in trouble.

275
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Leach steps back in there. The Red Sox beat the Rangers at Fenway four to one.

276
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000
So Texas now drops to six and three.

277
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
And at the moment, Oakland tied with them for the Western Division lead.

278
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Both clubs at six and three. There's a line drive left field.

279
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,000
Base hit for Ricky Leach.

280
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Hittle comes into shallow left, picks up the ball.

281
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,000
And rounding second and hanging on there is Chet Lemon.

282
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,000
That's a fourth Tiger hit of the inning.

283
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,000
That was a solid line drive to the opposite field.

284
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:18,000
Right now, let's pause to remind all of our stations, you're listening to the Chicago White Sox Radio Network.

285
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,000
This is your radio station, 67 WMAQ Chicago, coming up right after tonight's game.

286
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Time providing the instant request hour after Jimmy Pearson.

287
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Well, Fisk goes out to have a word with Hoyt.

288
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,000
Runners at first and second. Still only one out.

289
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Four hits of the inning off Hoyt.

290
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Tigers came in hitting 3-0-8, a man.

291
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,000
Wow, that was built up with a great start at Minnesota.

292
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Here's Alan Trammell hitting 3-45 with ten hits and 29 advance.

293
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,000
He has three doubles, six runs batted in.

294
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,000
0-3 previously against Hoyt.

295
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,000
And 2-6 an RBI and a run batted in against the Tigers this year.

296
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Right-headed hitter.

297
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000
They play a medium in the outfield. Here's the pitch.

298
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,000
And he jumps away from the pitch that comes inside Belt Hive.

299
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
All-one.

300
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Alan Trammell from Garden Grove, California makes his home now in San Diego.

301
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Has had a couple of back-to-back years.

302
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Not too well at the plate. He's hit.258 in each of the last two years after hitting.300 in 1980.

303
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,000
The pitch to Trammell.

304
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,000
There's a wide sweeping curve and it's in there.

305
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Knee high on the outside corner for a call strike.

306
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Joe Brickman shot the right arm of the air and the count is even at one and one.

307
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Dibzhinsky at short tonight getting his first strike for the White Sox.

308
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Hoyt looking in to get the side.

309
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,000
Trammell at the plate.

310
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Bat cocked over his right shoulder.

311
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Double steal. Swing and a miss.

312
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Rout of third. Plenty of time.

313
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,000
Hit first time and Chet Lemon is out.

314
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Trammell swung late trying to protect the runners as Parky pulled a double steal.

315
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:56,000
But even a head-first dive and third couldn't save Chet Lemon on this peg.

316
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:01,000
Right on the bag to Vasselhoff.

317
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Well, Parky's trying everything, isn't he?

318
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,000
That ball was inside to Trammell and he just couldn't handle it.

319
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,000
That's the second out.

320
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Now Leach is at second.

321
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:20,000
Trammell still at the plate with one ball and two strikes to go.

322
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Tigers are now six and one.

323
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Tigers are now six out of 11 on the base pass.

324
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,000
Chet 0 for two.

325
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,000
Here's the pitch to Trammell.

326
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Swing and a miss.

327
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
He tried to check his swing cutting this.

328
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
He missed the breaking ball all the way.

329
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Two strikeouts in the game for Hoyt.

330
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,000
It could have been worse, but the Tigers did score two on a total of four hits and one left.

331
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,000
After knitting and a half in Chicago, it's Detroit 2, the Sox nothing.

332
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:51,000
I recently saw what a Honda Civic ran the Indy 581.

333
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Hmm, must be a mistake.

334
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,000
So I called Honda.

335
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,000
No, it was official, they said.

336
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:08,000
The U.S. Auto Club drove three 1983 Honda Civic 1300 FE hatchbacks around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway until they ran out of gas.

337
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:13,000
They ran 578 and 581 and 604 miles.

338
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,000
The EPA went even farther, I was told.

339
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:21,000
They made the Civic FE the best gasoline mileage car in America.

340
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,000
EPA estimated 46 miles per gallon and 59 highway.

341
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,000
Used 46 for comparison only.

342
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,000
And you can expect actual highway mileage to be less.

343
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,000
But it was no mistake.

344
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,000
The Honda Civic ran the Indy 581.

345
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,000
The Indy 581, hmm, kind of grows on you.

346
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Honda, we make it simple.

347
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Now to present the Star Power High Octane Awards, Bob Hope.

348
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Hi, tonight's awards are for the highest octanes you can get.

349
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Envelope, please.

350
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:01,000
And the winners are Texaco Unleaded with ethanol at 89 octane.

351
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,000
New Super Regular with ethanol at 91.

352
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,000
And Premium Unleaded with ethanol at 92.

353
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Texaco Star Power helps knock out the knocks for the highest octanes you can get.

354
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Texaco Star Power for car power.

355
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:21,000
WMAQ Chicago weather forecast sunny skies tomorrow, a high of 45.

356
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Tonight's low 25.

357
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Right now it's 43 at WMAQ.

358
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Big boys are up for the White Sox here and they're half of the second.

359
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Luzinski, Kittle and Walker to face Milt Wilcox who has a 2-0 lead.

360
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Raggedy 261 with four RBI's.

361
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000
First pitch to the chunky right-handed hitter, a strike at the knees.

362
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,000
Good slider for Wilcox.

363
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:44,000
Luzinski has a couple of doubles this year, six hits and 23 at bats.

364
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000
And he is tied for the league lead with Mike Ivey of the Tigers.

365
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
And game-winning RBI is with two.

366
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Swings and scribs, one foul.

367
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Down the first base side, they're going to let a roll that stays foul about 30 feet from home plate.

368
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Harris was running the pounce on it and it rolled back.

369
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Little back-up English there and caught any part of the shot to the stripe.

370
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,000
Luzinski, two for seven.

371
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Including a game-winning RBI in Detroit against the Tigers that came against Jack Morris who was beaten last night at Yankee Stadium.

372
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,000
One for three though, Luzinski was against Wilcox, the man he's facing here tonight.

373
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000
There's that double quick pop, pitch a curve, hide away.

374
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,000
One ball and two strikes.

375
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Wilcox has got that short-arm delivery but he's got a kind of a double pump down around belt high as he brings the ball in his arms up into throwing position.

376
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Outfield around to the left, sells the infield.

377
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Big gap up the middle, pitch to Luzinski, swung on, broken bat, little pop fly, first base side drops into coaches' boxes.

378
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Leach can't get there in time.

379
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Got holes and one ball and two strikes to Luzinski, the leadoff batter here in the home half of the second.

380
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,000
It is a little bit different trying to judge the fly ball.

381
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,000
The ball goes into the air anywhere, infield or outfield.

382
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:59,000
I thought that one might have a chance to be fair and be caught.

383
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Wilcox goes to his mouth on the grass portion of the infield behind the cutout circle around the pitcher's mound.

384
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Apparently they haven't gotten permission although I'm sure they're able to blow into their hand on the mound tonight with the chilly temperatures.

385
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
Luzinski waiting, Wilcox into the windup.

386
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Here's the one-two delivery.

387
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Loan away, gets away from Parrish.

388
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Ball into the dirt, couldn't handle it.

389
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Ball two, strike two.

390
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Wilcox might have been trying to get a little something on beside the warm air.

391
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Well, Toronto got two in the first in New York, the Yankees came back with four in the second and they lead it four to two down to third in Yankee Stadium.

392
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Billy Martin's club in the basement right now with a three and five start.

393
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Here's the pitch to Luzinski, swung on and popped up right over the plate.

394
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:44,000
Parrish tosses the mask away, running down the line, gloves it in foul territory just about 20 feet away down the first base side.

395
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,000
One gone.

396
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Yeah, Billy's back in pinstripes.

397
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,000
He brings his Yankees to town Tuesday, Wednesday, April 19th and 20th.

398
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:56,000
Tuesday is True Value Baseball Card Night, baseball card for two stocks players for every stocks fan.

399
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Tickets on sale now at Ticket Master Center.

400
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:03,000
Then, sports mark, Rose record, fast and clothing and Carson Parry, Scott Storrs.

401
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Top in our call to charge, 559-1212.

402
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Here's the man of the hour of the week at least, Ron Kittle.

403
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Who in the last three games has hovered three times and knocked in a league high of 12 RBIs.

404
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,000
He checks swings and it's inside corner, about high for a call strike.

405
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Kittle started his onslaught last Sunday against the Tigers and Jack Morris when he hit a three run homer into the upper deck in left.

406
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,000
He swings and misses, all in two.

407
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Kittle was hitless in three at bats in the first game of that series against Wilcox.

408
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,000
He's hitting 3-0-8.

409
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Tied to the league lead in home runs with three and leads the league.

410
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,000
In fact, he leads all of baseball with 12 RBIs, all in three games.

411
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
He had six here yesterday.

412
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Swing and a miss.

413
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Oh, he's got on three pitches. Wilcox threw him a sharp breaking slider down high and away.

414
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Two-one.

415
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Wilcox gets his first strike out.

416
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
He didn't mess with Kittle at all.

417
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Here's another rookie left-handed hitting Greg Walker.

418
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,000
He's been a teammate of Kittle's the last couple of years in the minors.

419
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,000
In fact, they've been roommates.

420
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Walker one for nine, a triple down in Texas with two RBIs, a 1-11 average.

421
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Should have shaken off the effects of that disastrous opening night by now.

422
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
That pitch is inside a fastball just below the letters.

423
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,000
Ball one.

424
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000
Walker with great power.

425
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,000
Good swing. He's a left-handed hitter.

426
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,000
They play him straight away and deep.

427
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Rocking back and forth, waiting for Wilcox's delivery.

428
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Little Scribber off the handle.

429
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
Grabbed under the third base side by Johnson.

430
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Sidearm flip across the diamond and Walker is gone.

431
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
Little roller to the third baseman, Howard Johnson.

432
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,000
No runs, no hits, nobody left.

433
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,000
Wilcox with two innings of play has put down six straight Chicago White Sox hitters.

434
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,000
After two, Tigers two, Sox nothing.

435
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,000
After the game, it's Jimmy Pearsall on WMAQ.

436
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Hey, Fred, how you doing?

437
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Hey, real good, Stan.

438
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Hey, what's this? You're not running the Thompson's Cottage this year.

439
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,000
No way. This place is mine.

440
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,000
You bought? Fantastic. How did you swing it?

441
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,000
I got a home equity loan from General Finance.

442
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,000
Yeah? How's that work?

443
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Well, my house in the city has really increased in value.

444
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,000
General Finance loaned me money on that increased value.

445
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000
And I didn't have to touch my original mortgage.

446
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:18,000
The fact is, a General Finance home equity loan can be for as much as $25,000.

447
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,000
That's why I own this cottage and other folks rent it from me.

448
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaking of renting, Fred, do you think I could rent your new spread for a couple of weeks later this year?

449
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Sorry, Stan. It's all booked up.

450
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,000
You too may be able to take advantage of the increased value of your home

451
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:37,000
with a General Finance home equity loan, possibly for as much as $25,000

452
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,000
without affecting your present mortgage.

453
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,000
And you can use a General Finance home equity loan as you see fit.

454
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,000
Call General Finance for a large home equity loan up to $50,000

Make sure you have room for all your money.

460
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,000
Erwin, what are we going to do?

The safe behind Uncle Frank's portrait is filled to the gills with cash.

462

466
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,000
with Terry Stevens Monday morning at 10 on WMAQ.

467
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Top of the order for the Tigers here to third.

468
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Little Lou Whitaker, who fouled out the Kittle and left, takes a curve in there,

469
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
about high inside corner for a call strike.

470
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Again, shortened up on the handles, zipped a butt, and Vance Law came hurrying in from third.

471
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,000
They play him way around to the left, expecting him to hit late.

472
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000
White delivers.

473
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
Check swing, didn't mean to hit it.

474
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
Taps it foul off to the third base side.

475
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Get off your church clubs, civic organizations, or youth groups just like baseball.

476
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,000
The White Sox group rates are just the ticket.

All tickets have price for every Monday night game.

481
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,000
High fly ball left center field.

482
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Rudy Law coming in and over, and he flags it down for the first down.

483
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Whitaker is gone.

484
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,000
One out here in the Tiger third.

485
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,000
They bunched all four of their hits, scored their two runs in the second against Hoyt.

486
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Here's Howard Johnson who tapped out on a little roller to Bernisart at first.

487
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,000
The first time up.

488
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:34,000
Bernisart made a nice play on it to get him.

489
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,000
2-0 Detroit, we're in the third.

490
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Locking into the windup is Hoyt.

491
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,000
The pitch to Johnson, a sicker, a bit low, ball one.

492
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,000
The Cardinals, the Pirates, and the Expos atop the standings in the National League East.

493
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000
The Cubs in the basement at one and seven.

494
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,000
Atlanta with a seven and one start leading the West.

495
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Dodgers are again out at six and two, followed by the Reds at five and three.

496
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,000
Houston still winless in nine trips in the National League West.

497
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Those are a quick look at the National League standings.

498
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Bouncer to the right side, a one hopper taken wide of the bag by Walker.

499
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,000
He'll make the play unassisted and Howard Johnson's gone.

500
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,000
And there's two out here in the top of the third.

501
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Hoyt's had no problems with the first three hitters, Gus.

502
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,000
It's been the bottom two thirds of the order that's given him problems.

503
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Yeah, but, Joe, you notice that there's no weak spot in this Tiger lineup.

504
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:27,000
Every once in a while in the lineup you expect to find a 220 or a 240 hitter.

505
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,000
But so far the Tigers don't have one of those.

506
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:37,000
Larry Herndon struck out swinging to end the first inning his first time up.

507
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Hoyt starts him off with a big wide sweeping curve and it's in there.

508
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Knee high for a call strike. That pitch looked like it was on rails.

509
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:48,000
Without a sharp break you're kind of a slow sidewinder bend.

510
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,000
I feel straight away and deep for Herndon. He's got that upright straightaway stance.

511
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,000
This time Hoyt turns it over and runs a fastball down and in for a ball.

512
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:02,000
And the count is even a one and one.

513
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Larry Herndon, a good year last year, knocked in over 90 runs for the Tigers at 23 homers.

514
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Check swing, the pitch is low. The Fiss asked for an appeal.

515
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:17,000
And Nick Premigan at first base denies it. Two balls and a straight.

516
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Herndon and Enos Cabell both came over by way of San Francisco in the Schatzader deal.

517
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Two and one pitch. Curve and a beauty in there at the knees for a call strike. Two and two.

518
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,000
Lamar may have to go to that pitch a little bit more often.

519
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:40,000
He looks like he's got a good fastball. I don't know whether he's getting the right location on it or not.

520
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:45,000
Two balls, two strikes to Herndon. With two out and nobody on here in the top of the third, Tigers by a pair.

521
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,000
Hoyt with a high leg kick in the delivery. A curve, a swing and a mercy.

522
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,000
He struck him out again on a breaking ball.

523
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,000
Hoyt has knocked three strikeouts and three innings.

524
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:57,000
He's gotten Herndon twice. No runs, no hits, nobody left. Midway through the third.

525
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Tigers two, Sox nothing.

526
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:39,000
For all you do, and it's fuzz to you.

527
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:46,000
So here's to you, for all you do, you're now the king of fuses.

528
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:58,000
I'm going through for all you do, how far all you do, is fuzz to you.

529
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,000
And like the Bush St. Louis, Missouri.

530
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:09,000
For an old fashioned way towards fitness or just some peddling fun, invest in a quality Murray bicycle from True Value Hardware stores.

531
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:16,000
I've had somewhere else to say you'll get plenty of exercise during the warm weather months on a new Murray 10 or 12 speed racer.

532
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,000
Or enjoy a relaxing ride on a comfortable touring bike.

533

For the younger riders, see the selection of BMX models plus boys and girls high risers and sidewalk bikes.

541
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Fisk, Vance Law, and Jerry Dibzhinski to face Wilcox who has bowed down six straight hitters here tonight.

542
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,000
We're at the bottom of the third, Joe Picado along with early Lynn.

543
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Roger with us. There's a swing and a high soft pop up into the left field coming on his hermit and he makes the catch and shot a left.

544
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:26,000
As Fisk went after the first pitch, he tripled and had two for three against Wilcox in Detroit.

545
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:35,000
Getting 222 with two RBIs coming in. So there's one gone and that's seven in a row retired by Milt Wilcox, a native of Honolulu.

546
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,000
Here's Vance Law hitting 208. Five hits and 24 advance to RBIs.

547
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,000
Over two with a run batted in against Wilcox.

548
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,000
Vance won for seven with an RBI against Detroit.

549
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:51,000
They play him straight away in the infield and the outfield.

550
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:57,000
Although she had just a bit, maybe a step or two in the hole and deep at short is Trammell. Here's the pitch to Vance Law.

551
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,000
Fast ball just a bit close about Lunderheide. Ball one.

552
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,000
Cubs and the Pirates snowed out at Pittsburgh tonight.

553
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:11,000
Baltimore postponed with Cleveland and Baltimore. They'll play two and Baltimore tomorrow. Jim Palmer will make his first start tomorrow.

554
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:17,000
There's a sharp one hopper to Johnson at third. Easy play and there's two gone.

555
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Got to kick out of the notes tonight. The Tigers notes they said that Wilcox was the only native born Hawaiian on the Tigers ball club wearing number 39.

556
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:29,000
That's a big deal, isn't it?

557
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:39,000
Jared Dibzhinsky is going to get his first at bat in the regular season. He's been in five ballgames either as a pitch runner or as a late defensive replacement for Scott Fletcher at short.

558
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:47,000
In eighty ballgames with Cleveland last year, he hit two thirty one with no homers. Twenty two runs batted in. He doesn't have any power. He has only one major league home run.

559
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:55,000
He also had a few games early in the year, thirty of them precise with the Charleston Charlies. He looks at a pitch into the dirt ball one.

560
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:03,000
Jared Dibzhinsky, the Dipper with those wicked like legs or maybe be more correct to say, rickety like legs.

561
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:12,000
He has got the best set of bowed legs in the big leagues. He swings and loops a foul into the lower seats behind the tagging first base dugout.

562
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:18,000
He's going to try to go to right tonight. He's going to be a bit rusty up there and the count is one of the one he cracked his bat on that one.

563
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Joe got it on the handle a little, I guess. Wilcox crowd him a little bit. That might be what he tapes up and uses for BP.

564
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:32,000
By the way, speaking of BP, Britt Burns was sent down to Florida Tuesday after being introduced here at opening day through batting practice yesterday.

565
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:40,000
He's going to throw BP four times. He's going to pitch in four instructional games, work to get his strength back up and Tony is hoping to use him.

566
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:46,000
Possibly in New York. He's due to come off the disabled list as early as Monday, but he won't be ready by then.

567
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Although there's nothing physically wrong with him. He's just got to rebuild that strength. Pitch is up and in ball two down to Dibzhinsky.

568
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:59,000
The Yankees follow Detroit in the year after this three game weekend series.

569
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Yankees will be here Tuesday night and Wednesday night to wrap up the seven day stand.

570
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:12,000
Two gamer. There's a spinner right back to the bat on one hop. Wilcox feels it falling down, gets back up and throws him out.

571
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:19,000
Nine in a row, retired for the Tiger right hander. Again in the third, nothing going for the White Sox and after three the Tigers lead it two to nothing.

572
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,000
Talk baseball with Pearsall after the game on WMAQ.

573
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:29,000
Swung on, deep fly left field, way back, that ball is going to be out of hand.

574
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:35,000
Over deck, Paul Wright, Carlton Fisk and a $670 payoff to Jack Kixson.

575
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:41,000
Last year WMAQ gave away almost $30,000 to excited baseball fans during the famous big payoff innings.

576
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:46,000
The biggest payoffs in Major League Baseball. This season WMAQ's big payoff inning is even bigger.

577
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:53,000
If your White Sox batter hits a single, it's worth $67. A double $167. A triple $267.

578
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:58,000
A White Sox homer puts a big 25 inch Zenith console color TV in your home.

579
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:04,000
And a Grand Slam home run is worth a fabulous 45 inch Zenith space screen remote control projection TV.

580
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:12,000
To enter, send your name, address and phone number to WMAQ big payoff inning, post office box 3465 Chicago 60654.

581
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:21,000
The big payoff inning starts April 24th, so get your entry in today to your White Sox flagship station 67 WMAQ.

582
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Ever notice how good the hot dogs taste at Comiskey Park? That's because they're Dubuque White Sox Plumpers.

583
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:32,000
They're bigger than ordinary hot dogs. Bigger on a bun, bigger on mild, meaty flavor.

584
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:36,000
But you don't have to go out to the game to get that great hot dog taste.

585
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:41,000
All you have to do is pick up a package of regular beef or cheese plumpers at your supermarket.

586
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,000
You'll find plumpers taste great wherever you are.

587
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:50,000
Dubuque White Sox Plumpers, the official hot dog of the Chicago White Sox.

588
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,000
And all instant request music hour follows tonight's game.

589
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:57,000
And Jimmy Pearsall right here on WMAQ.

590
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:06,000
One of the same three guys that got in trouble in the second inning will start things off for the Tigers here in the fourth.

591
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:11,000
Lance Parrish doubled the right center and scored the first of the two Tiger Rams in the second, his first time up against Hoyt.

592
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:16,000
Parrish now two for six on the year against the White Sox.

593
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Hoyt delivers to the big right-handed hitting catcher. That breaking ball is wide, ball one.

594
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:28,000
Well, Mr. Steve and Alexander, the two starting pitchers in the Yankee-Toronto game in New York having problems.

595
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Now five to four, Toronto on the fourth.

596
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:35,000
There's a line drive whacked into left field, past the glove of Jerry Dibczynski.

597
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:41,000
Parrish pulled that one sharply, a sinking liner between short and third and the left and he's two for two.

598
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Hit number five off Hoyt.

599
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,000
That'll bring up Johnny Grabo bounced out.

600
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Walker to Hoyt covering it first, but on the play Parrish was able to move to third where eventually he scored when Wilson tripled him in.

601
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:02,000
I have no idea how hard Parrish hit the pitch to the first time, up right center about 410 feet.

602
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Now he drilled one in the left field.

603
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Well, he had only four hits in 27 of bats till tonight, so he was due to break out of it and he's two for two.

604
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,000
And this one, upfield straight away and deep for Grubb.

605
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Tall, likey left-handed hitter, feet fairly close together, deep in the box, slightly closed stance.

606
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:23,000
Hoyt takes his foot off the rubber, now turns and flips over to first base driving Parrish back.

607
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,000
You know, the...

608
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:35,000
Welcome White Sox Luncheon sponsored by the Chicago Business Magazine, Crane's Chicago Business, coming up this Monday featuring Tony LaRusso and his coaching staff.

609
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,000
Here's the pitch, not a Grubb, and it's a bit low ball.

610
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:42,000
The luncheon will be held at the Midland Hotel in downtown Chicago located in the Salad Adams.

611
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,000
We'll begin at 1130 Monday.

612
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:50,000
Tickets for the luncheon can be purchased for $12 each by calling the Midland Hotel at 332-1200.

613
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:54,000
332-1200, the Midland Hotel.

614
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,000
Right to the belt, here's the pitch to Grubb.

615
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:02,000
A curve and a beauty in there, just above the knees inside corner for a call strike, and the count is even a one-on-one.

616
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:09,000
Grubb has been around. He's hit over 300 twice in his big league career, once with the Padres when he first came up in the last league.

617
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:16,000
He managed to hit over 300 a couple of years ago with the Texas Rangers. He was also previously with Cleveland.

618
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:22,000
Hoyt goes over to first to keep Parrish around the bag at first.

619
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:29,000
Denver Bears open their season tonight, as all minor leagues do, so this is quite a baseball night around the United States.

620
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:36,000
The Denver Bears, the Sox, knew AAA at three, and the American Association will open up their season against the Aiders in Oklahoma City.

621
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:43,000
Side-lining right-hander who saw some brief action with the White Sox last year, Jim Seawey, will pitch the opener tonight for the Bears.

622
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:47,000
Pitch out, runner wasn't going. They must be spelling something here.

623
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,000
Parrish, not much of a threat to Steele. They might have been looking for a hit-and-run that time.

624
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,000
Two balls and a strike now to count the Johnny Grubb.

625
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:59,000
I think it has to be the hit-and-run. I think it had it on last time when Grubb was up.

626
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:03,000
Makes contact when he got Parrish around a little bit.

627
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:08,000
Well, all Grubb was supposed to do that time was pull the ball to the right side and advance the runner, which he did.

628
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,000
There's a little slow tap to second. That's going to advance the runner, too.

629
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,000
Bernisart up and over to Walker at first in time to get Grubb.

630
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:18,000
No chance to get the lead man as he packed his bat on that little roller to Bernisart at second.

631
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Grubb, on Parrish at second.

632
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:26,000
So Grubb, even though he's 0-2 in the box score, did advance the runner both times.

633
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:31,000
That'll bring up Glenn Wesselt, who tripled the right center his first time up his third triple of the year at his eighth hour behind.

634
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,000
He later scored as well.

635
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:39,000
Now he stands in. This time, Parrish is on with one out.

636
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,000
Parrish at second instead of third.

637
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:48,000
We're in the fourth inning. Tigers lead it 2-0. The pitch point to Wilson. A tap to the right side.

638
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:53,000
A three hopper to Bernisart. He waits on it. Throws and Wilson is out by a step.

639
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,000
Parrish moves to third.

640
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,000
Now the ball got away.

641
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,000
Yeah, Parrish didn't see it.

642
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,000
The ball got away and Greg Walker chased it down.

643
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:13,000
I looked down to put the out of the book. I don't see, I don't know what happened there.

644
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:18,000
Well, you can't call a play over with a white Sox until it's back to the pitcher's mound.

645
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:22,000
Deb Zinske was way over there backing somebody up. I don't know what happened.

646
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:26,000
He might have got a hold of the ball somewhere over there.

647
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:30,000
Oh, Walker thought it was three outs.

648
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:37,000
Walker turned and flipped the ball to Bernisart and Bernisart had turned away.

649
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:41,000
Well, here's Chad Levin who's single in a run his first time up. He's got a runner at third now with two outs.

650
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,000
That's what happened. Walker thought that was a third out of the inning.

651
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:50,000
Boy, that's got to be embarrassing for a rookie who's already had trouble making the defensive plays over there.

652
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,000
Yeah, it certainly doesn't make your stock go up in it, does it?

653
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,000
No.

654
00:48:54,000 --> 00:49:00,000
Well, he steps out of the box for a minute now. Parish at third with two out here in the top of the fourth inning.

655
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:05,000
Oh, Walker would have found a hole. He could have crawled into it if the runner had scored on that play.

656
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,000
There's a breaking ball in there for a call strike.

657
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,000
Bell high right into the hands. That jammed Levin.

658
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:19,000
Oh, it was a very dangerous pitch for Lemon though up around letter high.

659
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,000
Of course, you'll have to hit him on the elbow with it.

660
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:26,000
Chad now three for five this year against Hoyt, one for one tonight and three for eight on the year.

661
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:30,000
Against the White Sox, his former teammates. There's a swing and a foul chopped down and back.

662
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,000
It jumped over Fishead and rolls back to the base of the screen.

663
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:42,000
On to the count as Hoyt staying hand high and inside against Lemon.

664
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,000
In the bottom of this inning, the White Sox will set up the top of the order.

665
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,000
So far they haven't had a baserunner in three innings.

666
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:52,000
One complete turn at bat against Wilcox.

667
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:56,000
Bannister and Petrie tomorrow and then on Sundays wrapped up with the Tigers,

668
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:00,000
Dennis Lamp will try to make it five straight over the Tigers in two years.

669
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:04,000
And he'll be opposed by Jerry Ujir.

670
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:09,000
Off day on Monday.

671
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,000
Now there's a rain delay in New York.

672
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:17,000
Here's the pitch to Chad Lemon, fastball high.

673
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,000
They're in the fourth inning at Yankee Stadium.

674
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,000
Toronto jumped off to a two-nothing lead.

675
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,000
The Yankees caught him down.

676
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:27,000
Toronto is ahead again five to four when the Reigns have held up play.

677
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,000
The stretch by Hoyt, the one-two pitch to Lemon.

678
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,000
Fastball outside, two and two.

679
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:35,000
And Hoyt is using the stretch now with a runner at third and two out.

680
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:40,000
He seems to prefer pitching out of the stretch with a runner at third.

681
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,000
At the end of three in Oklahoma City, as we mentioned, Denver with Jim Seawey

682
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,000
pitching tonight in the opener leading Oklahoma one to nothing.

683
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,000
There's a swing and a miss.

684
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:52,000
He struck him out on a change-up curve, a wide-sweeping breaking ball.

685
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,000
And that's the fourth strikeout and one in inning for Lamar Hoyt.

686
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,000
No runs, a wasted single and a man left.

687
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:01,000
Midway through the fourth year in Chicago, the Tigers two, the Sox nothing.

688
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:11,000
The new prelude from Honda.

689
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:21,000
It began as a clean piece of paper.

690
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:26,000
Designers sketched an aerodynamically superior shape.

691
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:37,000
Once the shape was perfected, engineers made it into a car with startling effect.

692
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,000
The new prelude from Honda.

693
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:45,000
When you first drive one, you'll think you're in something else.

694
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:52,000
You'll be right.

695
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:59,000
The new prelude from Honda.

696
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:04,000
Fasten your seatbelts.

697
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,000
Hey, guess who has the highest octane for your car?

698
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:08,000
Texaco, that's who.

699
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,000
Hi, Bob Starpar Hope here.

700
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:15,000
Now Texaco Starpar knocks out the knocks with the highest octanes you can get.

701
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:19,000
Texaco Premium unleaded with ethanol at 92 octane.

702
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,000
New Super Regular with ethanol at 91 octane.

703
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,000
Unleaded with ethanol at 89 octane.

704
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:30,000
Get Texaco Starpar, the highest octanes you can get to help knock out the knocks in your car.

705
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,000
Texaco Starpar for car power.

706
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:39,000
WMAQ Chicago weather forecast a low of 25 tonight, tomorrow, sunny high 45.

707
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:44,000
Along the lakefront 43 right now at WMAQ.

708
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:51,000
John McConnell along with Gus Wehmeier and Chilly Kamiski Park with the temperatures about 35 or 36 degrees now.

709
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:56,000
As we go into the home half of the fourth inning, the White Sox will send up their top three hitters.

710
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:59,000
Law, Berndes, Ayrton, Baynes to face Wilcox for the second time.

711
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,000
Milt, the right-handed from Detroit, is retired nine straight.

712
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:10,000
And the White Sox have only had one ball out of the infield, and that was a shallow flight of left off the bat of Carlton Fisk leading off the third.

713
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:11,000
Rudy Law tapped out the short.

714
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:21,000
He's hit the best ball off Wilcox, a sharp one-hop liner, belt-high to trample it short to start the ballgame in the first inning for Chicago.

715
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:26,000
Wilcox sort of a broad-beam right-hander looking in to get the sign from Big Lance Parish, his catcher.

716
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,000
The right-hander delivers.

717
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:33,000
Swing and a miss, there was that fork ball, and Rudy swung over the top, 0-1.

718
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,000
Wilcox has one strikeout so far.

719
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:40,000
He fanned Kittle on three straight pitches midway through the second.

720
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,000
Well, Hoyt now has not four strikeouts for the third time this year.

721
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:49,000
He's had four in all three of his starts, and he's gotten his four tonight, or at least four in the first four innings.

722
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,000
Either pitcher is issued a walk.

723
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,000
The 0-1 count pitched out to Rudy Law.

724
00:53:54,000 --> 00:54:07,000
A fast ball just a bit outside as Parish tried to yank that one over the outside edge but didn't get the call from Joe Brickman, one-on-one.

725
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,000
Rudy Law who can fly on the base pass, but he has to get on first.

726
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,000
Tigers lead it 2-0 here in the bottom of the fourth.

727
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,000
Wilcox with a double pump with a delivery.

728
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,000
A curve load and side ball too.

729
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:22,000
Sharp breaker down and in.

730
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:26,000
Over in the National League, they're in the fourth at Bush Stadium in St. Louis.

731
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:32,000
The World Champion Cardinals off to a 4-1 start despite a couple of rainouts leading the Mets tonight 3-0.

732
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:35,000
Montreal has a 1-0 lead over Windlass Houston in the fourth.

733
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,000
At Houston, the Astros have lost nine straight.

734
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:39,000
Pitch to Rudy.

735
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,000
Spike on the outside corner at the knees.

736
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,000
That pitch was right on the black.

737
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,000
That evens the count at 2-2.

738
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,000
Checked with Jimmy Leland, the third base coach.

739
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:54,000
Davey Nelson at first for the White Sox.

740
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,000
Wilcox shook off the first side as the one he wants from Parish.

741
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,000
Here's the 2-2 delivery.

742
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:00,000
And a breaking ball.

743
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:07,000
Looked like the slider or maybe the fork ball on inside a full count down of Rudy Law leading off the fourth for the White Sox.

744
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:14,000
Wilcox has just recently started that fork ball, Joe, and it helped him quite a bit with the secret he has.

745
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,000
A little difficult for the batter to pick it up.

746
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,000
Here's the payout pitch to Law.

747
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,000
He swings and pops it up foul to a third base side.

748
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,000
Howard Johnson over near the camera box.

749
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,000
Can't reach it. Out of reach.

750
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:32,000
Gets the top of the White Sox dug out, bounces high in the air, comes down and about the back row of the first set of boxes.

751
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:37,000
So the count holds at 3-2.

752
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:44,000
Ball had to fight the wind to get out of play as the wind coming over the top of the double deck stadium here, blowing out to right.

753
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:51,000
14 mile an hour out of the west at game time.

754
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,000
Now Rudy steps out as Wilcox rubs up a new ball.

755
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:58,000
He turns his back on the batter. Full count here leading off the bottom of the fourth.

756
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,000
Sox needs some base runners.

757
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:08,000
Wilcox had a 3-0 lead early in Detroit against the White Sox, but the Sox came back to knock him out in the seventh and post a 6-3 win.

758
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,000
Lyon got the victory.

759
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:11,000
Kuzma in the same.

760
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,000
Here's the payout pitch to Rudy Law.

761
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,000
He pops it up again. Foul territory this time.

762
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:16,000
There will be a play.

763
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,000
Parrish over near the on deck circle for the Tigers.

764
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,000
He hauls it in.

765
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:24,000
Ten in a row, retired by Wilcox.

766
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:28,000
You know Wilcox has a long record of hanging in there for a while, being tough.

767
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,000
And you can get to him finally.

768
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:39,000
I don't know if he gets tired or not, but he's a consistent pitcher to be, you know, gotten to it late in it like he has been.

769
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:45,000
First year might have been 12-9 two years ago when the season was shortened by a month and a half for the strike.

770
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:48,000
He's been right at 12 or 13 wins in each of the last five years.

771
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,000
Here's Bernisard. He bounced the short his first time up.

772
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,000
Got a six-gamer intact here tonight.

773
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,000
Check swing. It's high. Ball one.

774
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,000
I followed him all through his career, Joe.

775
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:04,000
I was scouting for Minnesota when he was pitching for Minneapolis.

776
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:08,000
And he had that same tag on him down in the minor.

777
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:11,000
Pitch to Bernisard and he waves and misses at a letter high pitch.

778
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:15,000
That might have been the sicker, although it was up.

779
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,000
And the count is even at one and one.

780
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,000
But he's come on been a good pitcher for the Tigers.

781
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:23,000
The other play at the Metrodome tonight, Gus and Frank Viola has a one-nothing lead in the third.

782
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,000
The twins over the Angels.

783
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,000
They got the roof pumped up.

784
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:30,000
Yeah, the roof didn't come down. This time they closed the airport.

785
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,000
One-one pitch to Bernisard. It's high and away. Ball two.

786
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:40,000
Viola, that talented young left-hander, they signed right off the college campus a year ago.

787
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:45,000
Twins are right now three and five and in a virtual tie for the basement with the Mariners.

788
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:51,000
Both are two under. White Sox are one under. So they're a half game up out of the basement.

789
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:55,000
Strike at the knees. Good slider, two and two.

790
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:05,000
Reggie Jackson has homered, I believe, for the California Angels in the fourth.

791
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:10,000
That would tie the score up there. That's Ken Force pitching for the Angels.

792
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:13,000
There's a shot, ground ball. The Whittaker is right.

793
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:17,000
He moves over, picks it up, and Bernisard is out at first.

794
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,000
Hit it sharply, but a skimmer.

795
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,000
Just about four steps to Whittaker's right. Two gone.

796
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:33,000
That was Reggie's first four-bagger of the year, and it ties the score in the fourth at Minnesota.

797
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,000
Here's Harold Baines. He was thrown out.

798
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,000
Leech to Wilcox covering at first base.

799
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:43,000
This is his first time up.

800
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,000
Wilcox pups into the motion.

801
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,000
Brings it up high and away. Ball one.

802
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:57,000
For a guy that's a high ball pitcher, he's certainly going to, not a ground ball, Joe.

803
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:00,000
He's got seven put outs on ground ball so far in the ball game.

804
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:05,000
Yeah, he moves it around. He comes upstairs with it, but he throws a lot of pitches around the knees as well.

805
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:11,000
Baines, jammed with that pitch, fouls it away right up in front of Nancy Faust.

806
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:16,000
High on the upper deck on the third base side, right under those outdoor seats on the luxury boxes.

807
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,000
Wilcox is certainly not the most graceful pitcher you ever see.

808
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,000
He looked like he had to put a lot of effort into all his pitches.

809
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,000
Looks like he's pumping himself up.

810
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:25,000
He does.

811
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:28,000
The pitch to Baines, down and in. Ball two and strike one.

812
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:34,000
Harold hit four homers and knocked in 13 runs against the Tigers last year, but he had three of those homers.

813
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:41,000
And eight of those RBIs and one ball game here one night, the seventh of July a year ago.

814
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,000
What a night that was.

815
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,000
Two and one to count.

816
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:50,000
Baines leading out over that play for that widespread slightly closed stance.

817
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:57,000
Here's the pitch by Wilcox. He fouls it back upstairs off the window of the owners box.

818
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:04,000
Here on our press level, the guy don't play, so the count is two and two. Baines a bit late on that pitch. It was up and away.

819
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:08,000
Looks at the handle of his bat before he settles back into the batter's box.

820
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:14,000
Two and two to count. Wilcox trying to put down his 12th straight batter here with Dugan in the fourth.

821
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:17,000
The deliberate swung on field foul coming right back below us.

822
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:20,000
Landing in the open goal seats and rolling back down the net.

823
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:24,000
They couldn't hold it. Can't hold it two and two.

824
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,000
Some fan is really getting the good natured ribbing here.

825
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:31,000
You know, we got a good crowd on hand here tonight considering the coldest of the night.

826
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:34,000
A lot of them here to see the fireworks, I assume.

827
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,000
There's a bouncer down the first base side glove by Leach behind the bag.

828
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:41,000
He runs up and makes the play unassisted and that's four perfect innings for Milton Wilcox.

829
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,000
He has retired 12 straight.

830
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,000
And at the end of the four here at Chicago, the Tigers still lead it two to nothing.

831
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:50,000
After the game, it's Jimmy Pearsall on WMAQ.

832
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:56,000
For any part to speed your car, drive real smooth to get really far.

833
01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:02,000
Place to know to go for more is the one stop to shop Blue Star Auto Store.

834
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:08,000

01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:13,000
Blue Star for your car. Blue Star, Blue Star Auto Stores.

836
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:19,000
It's time to get rid of the shakes in your car because Blue Star Auto Stores has grand free shocks by Monroe

837
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,000
for as low as $5.99.

Monroe shocks help you restore that new car feel and Blue Star's prices are never shocking.

839

So for $5.99, drive like new on shocks by Monroe and for a great deal more, shop Blue Star.

840
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,000

842

Blue Star for your car. Blue Star, Blue Star Auto Stores.

843
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:50,000
There's seven Blue Stars near you like 8533 South Cottage Grove in Cicero and 1221 South Cicero.

844
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:54,000
It's that season, it's time for baseball, time for home runs, hits and fun.

845
01:01:54,000 --> 01:02:00,000

852
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:39,000
Just below the belt for a called strike and a late call it was by Joe Brickman.

853
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:45,000
0-1. White has had the one bad inning where the Tigers butch four of their five hits to score two runs.

854
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:49,000
That came in the second. Those are the only runs of the game.

855
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:56,000
Down we're in the top half of the fifth. Leach chops one on three bounces rolling to Burtisard.

856
01:02:56,000 --> 01:03:00,000
On the rim of the grass deep at second he throws him out. One gone. Leach it single this first time up.

857
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:08,000
Every Monday night home game is family bargain night. All $7, $5, $4 and $3 tickets will be half price.

858
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:12,000
First half price family bargain night is Monday, May the 2nd against Milwaukee Brewers.

859
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:19,000
If you get your tickets at Comiskey Park or by calling Ticketmaster 559-1212.

860
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:23,000
Allen Trammell one of four strikeout victims for Hoyt on a check swing third his first time up.

861
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:28,000
One gone here in the Tiger fifth. The big right handed starts him off with a wide sweeping curve a bit low in the way.

862
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:35,000
Ball one. Tigers about hit the White Sox five and nothing can lead it to nothing here in the top of the fifth.

863
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:38,000
Wilcox has pitched a perfect game through four.

864
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:46,000
Fastball inside a bit close just above the knees. That straightened Trammell up out of that crouch and a count his ball too.

865
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:49,000
Trammell the number nine hitter in the Tiger order.

866
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:53,000
Lou Whitaker the leadoff batter on deck.

867
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:58,000
To and on a travel swung on fly ball looked in the right field. Vane's jogging in.

868
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:03,000
Waiting for it. He puts it away. There's two gone.

869
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:07,000
Too many fly balls to either outfield or night.

870
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:12,000
It's only the third outfield put out for the Sox outfield. One by each of the three fielders.

871
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:18,000
Kittle and Whitaker every or rather Whitaker has been retired by Kittle and Rudy Laws.

872
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:24,000
He steps in there. He found out the Kittle in the first and he fly to shadow left center in the third.

873
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:30,000
Two gone here in the fifth.

874
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:38,000
Fastball strike call good pitch just above the knees inside corner as point crossed up Whitaker and came inside with a hard one.

875
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:43,000
Oh and one. Whitaker's matured now. He had his best year at the plate a year ago.

876
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:49,000
Little guy pumped out 15 home runs. Most of them at Detroit. That pitches down and in a ball one and one.

877
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:56,000
Before that the most he'd ever hit in a year was three.

878
01:04:56,000 --> 01:05:01,000
There's a curve and a beauty right in there at the knees for a call strike one and two the cup.

879
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:06,000
I believe Whitaker pulls more in Tiger Stadium than he does anywhere else.

880
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:10,000
They've got a short porch to right field. Yes sir. So I guess he can pull when he wants to.

881
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:16,000
One two pitch to Whitaker. He tried to pull that one and nubs it foul down the first base side of the ground and the count holds at one and two.

882
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:25,000
Well if he can pull when he wants to I don't know why he wouldn't pull here when especially the ballpark them playing the other over to the left like they are.

883
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:29,000
He's got a lot of space in right center and he can hit the ball with a third to right center.

884
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:40,000
Of course he's the guy who's trying to pull the pitcher comes inside with it. For the most part they'll work him away.

885
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:51,000
Now he has a sign. Here's a one two pitch to Whitaker and he misses low and away with that one two and two.

886
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:55,000
Tomorrow afternoon Floyd Bannister against Dan Petrie. Here's the pitch.

887
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:59,000
Swung on and a roll foul past the on deck hitter.

888
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:00,000
Larry Herndon.

889
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:06,000
What took a little off that one had him out in front and he pulled that one right back in the on deck circle for the Tigers.

890
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:09,000
You know we've talked about Hoyt's five on one record with the Tigers.

891
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:13,000
Lamp four and all against Detroit all the last two years. He goes Sunday.

892
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:17,000
Dan Petrie is six and one against the White Sox.

893
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:21,000
The only time he beat him was with that two out two run pitch homer by Hairston here last year.

894
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,000
There's a dry roll to center field.

895
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:27,000
Boy did Whitaker get a hold of that one and he really spanked it cleanly in the center field.

896
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:31,000
A solid line drive hit. That's his 13th hit of the year.

897
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:37,000
And the Tigers have a two out single here in the fifth hit number six off Hoyt.

898
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:44,000
Whitaker hit a rope to center.

899
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:48,000
Howard Johnson has tapped the second and rolled out the first unassisted.

900
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:52,000
He's 0 for 2 and 0 for 8 on the year against the White Sox.

901
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:55,000
He hit 316 last year after starting the year at Evansville.

902
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:59,000
And that's why they platoon him a lot at third base although he is a switch hitter.

903
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:02,000
He has been batting nothing but left handed up here so far in the bigs this year.

904
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,000
There goes the runner Whitaker.

905
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Ground ball. Pulled foul down the first base side.

906
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:11,000
Scattering moving the first base coach Billy Consolo out of there although it wasn't hit that hard.

907
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:15,000
Talking about moving, Dan Mars had to move on Whitaker's line drive.

908
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:18,000
Kind of flinched.

909
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,000
The hit and run was applied there but Johnson fouled the pitch off.

910
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:25,000
0-1 Whitaker at first with 2 out in the top of the fifth inning.

911
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:34,000
Hoyt had retired five in a row.

912
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:38,000
Alomar has a sign from Carlton Fiske's catcher.

913
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:41,000
Johnson waiting with that batcock tie over his shoulder.

914
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:44,000
There's a fastball strike. Throw to second and time.

915
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:48,000
Yes, they got Whitaker as Jerry Dibsinski put the tag on him.

916
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:51,000
Whitaker now 3 out of 5 on the bases.

917
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:54,000
Tigers 0 for 2 tonight. No runs, one hit.

918
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:56,000
Nobody left. We reached the halfway point here.

919
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,000
Midway through the fifth at Koniski Park the Tigers lead it 2 to nothing.

920
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:09,000
The Tigers lead it 2 to nothing.

921
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:19,000
This bus for you, for being on the job and working hard all day.

922
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:28,000
So here's to you, you know there's no one else who does it quite the way you do.

923
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:48,000
For all you do, this bus for you.

924
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:58,000
This bus for you, this bus for you.

925
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:01,000
Anheuser-Busch, St. Louis.

926
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:05,000
Installing new gutters and downspouts on your house can be a snap

927
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:08,000
with the Genova Rain-Go system from True Value hardware stores.

928
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:13,000
I've had somewhere all to tell you these solid vinyl parts can be easily installed by one person

929
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:17,000
because they snap together with the help of just a handsaw and screwdriver.

930
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:21,000
They're guaranteed not to rust, rot or corrode and never need painting.

931
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:25,000
Plus the gutters exclusive triangular ridges help prevent clogging.

932
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:28,000
See the lightweight Genova Rain-Go vinyl gutters and downspouts

933
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:31,000
at participating True Value hardware stores and home centers.

934
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:34,000
Hi, this is Jim Tyler and have I got some questions for you.

935
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:38,000
Now according to Mary Poppins you'd always sound precious if you said what?

936
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,000
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

937
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:43,000
July 20th, 1969, named the event.

938
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:46,000
I think that was the first day somebody walked on the moon.

939
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:47,000
You got it.

940
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:49,000
Everybody's gonna win.

941
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:54,000
67 WMAQ

942
01:09:54,000 --> 01:10:00,000
So join in the fun with Tyler's trivia 3 to 7 p.m. on your radio station.

943
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,000
Well it's time to go to work on this guy.

944
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:04,000
Here's Leszczynski who foul out to the catchers.

945
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:07,000
First time up he takes a check swing and a pitch a sicker a bit low.

946
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:10,000
Ball one. Leszczynski, Kittle and Walker in that order.

947
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:13,000
12th in a row have been mowed down by the right-hander Milt Wilcox

948
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,000
who has a 2-0 lead here in the bottom of the fifth.

949
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:21,000
The pitch to Leszczynski, a swing and a miss and a count is even a ball and a strike.

950
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,000
BALL

951
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,000
BALL

952
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,000
BALL

953
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:31,000
Mel Hall, a fine fleet-footed rookie outfielder for the Cubs.

954
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,000
Gonna be put on the disabled list it looks like.

955
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:36,000
There's a pitch, long away ball to the count to Leszczynski.

956
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:40,000
One of the preseason baseball magazines.

957
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:46,000
Hall was listed as the top rookie candidate coming into either league.

958
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,000
Kittle was rated tenth.

959
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,000
Here's the 2-1 pitch.

960
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,000
The ball takes, strike two, go.

961
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:56,000
Good pitch, knee-high outside corner and that evens it at 2-2.

962
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,000
Well he's got Leszczynski searching up there.

963
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,000
He hasn't had a good rip at him yet.

964
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,000
Like we have met many hitters that has.

965
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:04,000
No, he's keeping everybody off-ball.

966
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,000
2-2 delivery, fastball.

967
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:10,000
Peel foul coming back and it's gonna land right on the roof,

968
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:12,000
skidding over the top of the roof behind home plate.

969
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:14,000
2-2 the count to Leszczynski.

970
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:18,000
He delivers a little quick, has that fast pump.

971
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:21,000
And then he changes speeds on him.

972
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:24,000
Post-boned and filling tonight, the Phillies and the Braves.

973
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:27,000
So another arena, there's a slow curve over for a call, strike three.

974
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,000
Leszczynski caught flat-footed.

975
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:31,000
Second strike out of the game for Wilcox.

976
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,000
Let's hope the 13's the unlucky number for him.

977
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:36,000
And here comes Kittle.

978
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,000
Kittle struck out on three pitches this first time up.

979
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,000
He went down hacking.

980
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:49,000
Wilcox really pulled the string on that slow-breaking ball to Leszczynski.

981
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:53,000
Yeah, he feed you that hard-breaking stuff and the sinker.

982
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:56,000
And when he takes something off of that breaking pitch, he's tough.

983
01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:01,000
He's got about two different deliveries and about five different pitches.

984
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:04,000
And if you're a guess-hitter, boy, you got your work cut out for you.

985
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:07,000
He throws Kittle a sinker, but it's low, ball one.

986
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:10,000
Like a guy playing bridge, you got to remember the cards.

987
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:11,000
Better count them.

988
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:12,000
Yes, sir.

989
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,000
Well, he threw me this one last time, threw me the other one before.

990
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:17,000
I feel him feel both deep around to the left.

991
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:21,000
There's a pitch and it is low, ball two.

992
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:24,000
To it out, a Ron Kittle, one of the few batters ahead of Wilcox

993
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:27,000
who has not walked a man nor has he been close tonight.

994
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:31,000
He did have a three and two count to one batter, Rudy Law, leading off the fourth.

995
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:35,000
Now the wind up and here's the pitch.

996
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:38,000
Kittle swings and misses and a breaking ball down around the knees.

997
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:40,000
Two balls and a strike.

998
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:47,000
Johnson's only about four or five steps off the line and deep at third.

999
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:48,000
Trammel on the edge of the grass.

1000
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,000
Whitaker pulled around at second and deep.

1001
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:52,000
So's the outfield.

1002
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:53,000
The pitch to Kittle.

1003
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:54,000
Swung out.

1004
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:55,000
He had a good one.

1005
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:57,000
The pitch to Kittle swung out.

1006
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,000
He had a hack and he files it back to the wire.

1007
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:00,000
To it too.

1008
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,000
That was a good fastball away.

1009
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,000
Kittle trying to go back to the middle then.

1010
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:08,000
Two balls, two strikes with young Greg Walker on deck.

1011
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:12,000
Wilcox shakes off the first side from Parrish.

1012
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:13,000
Now has the one he wants.

1013
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:14,000
To it to the Kittle.

1014
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:15,000
Kirby got him out looking.

1015
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:19,000
Oh, Kittle rocked back on his heels and that ball snapped right over the heart of the play.

1016
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:24,000
Two in the inning and three strikeouts for the game from Will Wilcox.

1017
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,000
Well, he has been a dandy here tonight.

1018
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:31,000
There's Walker who tapped out to Howard Johnson at third.

1019
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:32,000
His first look at Wilcox.

1020
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,000
Walker in a major league uniform.

1021
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:44,000
Looks like he's about 17.

1022
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,000
He's got that boyish looking face.

1023
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:47,000
He swings and misses.

1024
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,000
Ball popped out of Parrish has met.

1025
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:52,000
Walker almost fell across the plate with the force of his cut.

1026
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:53,000
All in one.

1027
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:56,000
Trying to loosen up that right shoulder before he stepped back in.

1028
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:59,000
A bone chilling night here at Kineski Park.

1029
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:02,000
Although the wind fortunately is not gusting like it was yesterday.

1030
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:05,000
There's a swing and a little looper.

1031
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,000
And Leach right in front of Whitaker hauls it in.

1032
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:10,000
Just a little spinner.

1033
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:11,000
A bad handle spinner.

1034
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:13,000
For a minute it looked like he was headed for right field.

1035
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:15,000
But Leach crossed right in front of Whitaker to glove it.

1036
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:19,000
And that's 15 men in a row through five innings put down in order.

1037
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:21,000
By Wilcox.

1038
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:24,000
At the end of five here in Chicago the Tigers lead it 2-0.

1039
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:28,000
After the game it's Jimmy Pearsall on WMAQ.

1040
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:32,000
Hi this is Terry Stevens of WMAQ's Afternoon Affair.

1041
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:34,000
Radio's original dating game.

1042
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:39,000
And here are just a few of the happy folks who have gotten together on our daily show.

1043
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:44,000
I would like to meet someone like the Knight Rider.

1044
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:47,000
The chemistry is just right.

1045
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:48,000
Everything and anything.

1046
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:49,000
I like to be varied.

1047
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:50,000
I like to shoot pool.

1048
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:51,000
A hustler huh?

1049
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:53,000
Not exactly.

1050
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:54,000
You remember your first date.

1051
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:55,000
It was just on a heat ride.

1052
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:56,000
What are your goals and aspirations?

1053
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:57,000
To go out.

1054
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:59,000
Oh you're just looking to meet somebody right?

1055
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:00,000
Right.

1056
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:06,000
Yeah you're 5'2", 125 pounds, light brown hair and brown eyes, a Virgo and you look just like Cheryl Ladd.

1057
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:07,000
Oh yeah.

1058
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:08,000
You do?

1059
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,000
Um, not really.

1060
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:15,000
151 marriages and thousands of great dates.

1061
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:22,000
You can register for the Afternoon Affair no charge starting at 10 a.m. Monday through Friday.

1062
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:26,000
Right here on 67 WMAQ.

1063
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:28,000
Let's see, 12 typewriters cost us.

1064
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:31,000
You've invested a lot in the tools of your trade.

1065
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:32,000
Two word processors.

1066
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,000
You want them to pay off.

1067
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:35,000
Three copiers.

1068
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,000
You want to keep them busy.

1069
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:39,000
Six phone lines are going in this column.

1070
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,000
That's why you also invest in the Yellow Pages.

1071
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:45,000
Where your ad is on the job in homes and businesses.

1072
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,000
Executive chairs, brown leather, leprosy.

1073
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:49,000

1074
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:53,000
It's the small investment that keeps your big investments paying off.

1075
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:55,000
15 not so executive chairs.

Hi this is Jim Tyler and I have great trivia questions for you at 3 to 7 p.m. weekdays right here on 67 WMAQ Chicago.

1077
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:07,000
Howard Johnson, the number two hitter in the Tiger Order, has popped out twice.

1078
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:11,000
He was at the plate when Whitaker was thrown out attempting to steal a base in the last inning.

1079
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:14,000
We'll lead it off here in the sixth.

1080
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:16,000
Warr in on the edge and shallow at third.

1081
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:18,000
Here's the pitch.

1082
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:20,000
Swing and a foul tipped into the dude.

1083
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:22,000
It all for the best in baseball coverage.

1088
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:47,000
Wilcox has thrown only 59 pitches through five innings.

1089
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:49,000
Firing 15 straight batters.

1090
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:54,000
There's a little loop or foul into the Tiger first base dugout on the second hop.

1091
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:56,000
All into the cap to Howard Johnson.

1092
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,000
Herndon and Parrish to follow.

1093
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:03,000
Tiger's got four of their six hits in both runs in the second.

1094
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:06,000
And a hit in the fourth and a hit in the fifth.

1095
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:08,000
Point delivers.

1096
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:09,000
Almost hit him.

1097
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:12,000
That pitch was down and in right at ankle high.

1098
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:16,000
And Johnson had to walk the tightrope to get out of the way of that one.

1099
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:18,000
One ball and two strikes.

1100
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:21,000
That was a good attention getter.

1101
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,000
Got Johnson's attention.

1102
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:25,000
Try to straighten him up.

1103
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:27,000
Going to deliver it.

1104
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:28,000
Fastball ripped up the middle.

1105
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:30,000
Base hit and a center field on the ground.

1106
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:35,000
So Johnson lays off the Tiger's six with a smash just to the glove side of Hoyt.

1107
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:40,000
And to the right field side of the bag at second it went out in the center field.

1108
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:41,000
That's two straight hits off Hoyt now.

1109
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:45,000
Counting the one the Whitaker got with two out in the fifth.

1110
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,000
However, he didn't seem to get his attention too much though.

1111
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:49,000
He stepped into that pitch and lined it right in the center.

1112
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,000
Well hit ball.

1113
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:54,000
Hit number seven for the Tigers.

1114
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:56,000
And they have a lead off man on.

1115
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:58,000
Sparky's tried to steal a couple times tonight.

1116
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,000
And unsuccessful both times.

1117
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:04,000
Here's Herndon who has struck out twice on curve balls.

1118
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:08,000
See what Hoyt feeds the left fielder this time.

1119
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:10,000
A curve and it's just a bit wide at the bell.

1120
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:11,000
Ball one.

1121
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:14,000
That was a much tighter breaking curve.

1122
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:17,000
You got Herndon on those wide sweeping breakers the first two times up.

1123
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:23,000
He checks with third base coach Alex Grammis before he steps back in.

1124
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:24,000
Two nothing Detroit.

1125
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:28,000
And the sixth Wilcox has been masterful tonight for the Tigers.

1126
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:32,000
Retired 15 straight through five.

1127
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:36,000
Hoyt turns and throws to first driving Howard Johnson back to the bag.

1128
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:39,000
That was only Howard's third hit now on 16 at bats this year.

1129
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:40,000
One for three tonight.

1130
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:44,000
His first hit at nine at bats this season against the Whitesides.

1131
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,000
He stretches late a bit at first.

1132
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:48,000
Walker holding.

1133
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:52,000
Herndon might try to putz the ball through the right side.

1134
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:54,000
Here's the pitch.

1135
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:55,000
Swing and a foul down and back.

1136
01:18:55,000 --> 01:19:00,000
A ball on the strike.

1137
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:04,000
Several postponements tonight due to cold weather, rain and snow.

1138
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:07,000
Not only in the Midwest but the East as well.

1139
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:11,000
Baltimore postponed with Cleveland.

1140
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:17,000
The Angels now with a four to one lead at the Metrodome in Minnesota against the Twins in the sixth inning.

1141
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:23,000
Reggie is homing up there.

1142
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:24,000
The stretch for the right hander Hoyt.

1143
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:25,000
Here's the pitch now.

1144
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:28,000
Herndon swings and misses a sicker down around the knees.

1145
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:29,000
One and two to count.

1146
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:33,000
Good low breaking ball.

1147
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,000
Hoyt trying to fan him for the third straight time.

1148
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:38,000
He has four strikeouts tonight.

1149
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:41,000
Wilcox has three.

1150
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:45,000
Neither pitcher has been close to walking a batter as of yet.

1151
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:49,000
In fact Hoyt hadn't gone to ball free on anybody.

1152
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:51,000
One and two to cap to Herndon with that.

1153
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:53,000
Ball upright stance.

1154
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:55,000
Feet straight away widespread.

1155
01:19:55,000 --> 01:20:02,000
Hoyt turns lobs to first.

1156
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:11,000
Upcoming road trip the Sox will go to Cleveland and up to Toronto and then over to Milwaukee before coming home for our second home stand of the year.

1157
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:14,000
Red Sox the Yankees will come calling them.

1158
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:15,000
Here's the pitch.

1159
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:16,000
Swing and a pass.

1160
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:18,000
He struck him out as he pulled the strike on a breaking ball.

1161
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:19,000
Quick snap throw to first.

1162
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:20,000
Johnson is back.

1163
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:22,000
That's three straight times.

1164
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:25,000
Herndon's gone down swinging and five in the ballgame for Lamar Hoyt.

1165
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:36,000
One out here with a man on first here in the Tigers sixth.

1166
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:38,000
Here's Parrish.

1167
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:42,000
Well Herndon has been duck soup for the big guy Lamar Hoyt.

1168
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:43,000
But Parrish has been trouble.

1169
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,000
He has doubled.

1170
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:46,000
Singled and scored a run.

1171
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,000
He's two for two.

1172
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:52,000
Both times he's let off an inning he has hit safely.

1173
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:55,000
Now he's up with a man on and one out here in the sixth.

1174
01:20:55,000 --> 01:21:01,000
Check swing and the pitch is a bit low and Parrish in checking his swing staggered out across the plate.

1175
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:07,000
I gotta believe Parrish had intention to go in for the long ball because he had trouble stopping that swing.

1176
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:08,000
Looks like he was loved.

1177
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:09,000
Yeah he was.

1178
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:11,000
He was ready for it.

1179
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:13,000
They've resumed in New York.

1180
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:16,000
They're down the fifth the Blue Jays with a five to four lead over the Yankees.

1181
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:17,000
They had a slight rain delay there.

1182
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:22,000
Swing and a foul back to the wire and Parrish goes down on his right knee.

1183
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:23,000
Boy did he unload on that cut.

1184
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,000
One ball and one strike.

1185
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:26,000
He's trying to yank one out of here.

1186
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:30,000
Well he's about due to hit one.

1187
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:35,000
He hasn't homered yet this year and he had 32 last year to set a single season American League record for a catcher.

1188
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:38,000
Maybe you're trying to go for the cycle.

1189
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:41,000
On one swing.

1190
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:42,000
No.

1191
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:43,000
But he's got a.

1192
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,000
You think he wants to get the hard part now.

1193
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,000
I think the hard part for him would be the three bagger.

1194
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:50,000
Yeah he's got half of it already.

1195
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:52,000
Quick throw to first Johnson.

1196
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:54,000
Almost leading the wrong way.

1197
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:55,000
Drove back in there.

1198
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:58,000
Head first.

1199
01:21:58,000 --> 01:21:59,000
The ball and the strike.

1200
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:00,000
They got the lance Parrish.

1201
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:05,000
They may have the steal in mind with Parrish at bat.

1202
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:10,000
Got that up right close dance on a quick throw to first and again Johnson dives back in under the tag.

1203
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:12,000
Let's pause for station identification.

1204
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:15,000
You're listening to the Chicago White Sox radio network.

1205
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:23,000
And all instant request hour follows tonight's game and Jimmy Pierce all right here on 67 WMAQ Chicago.

1206
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:27,000
Right hander doing Lamar Hoyt gazing in to get the side.

1207
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:29,000
The stretch and the pitch.

1208
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:35,000
Parrish swings one left field way back is kind of over his head off the wall and a hop gets away.

1209
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:41,000
That's going to score the runner Howard Johnson being waved on in and Parrish pulls in a second base with a run scoring double.

1210
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,000
It's three nothing Tigers.

1211
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:49,000
Parrish hit a rope over Kittles head off the left field wall out there in front of the bull ring and a short hop.

1212
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:53,000
Parrish is three for three tonight with two doubles.

1213
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:57,000
Boy he's been some kind of trouble and he hasn't been fooled on anything.

1214
01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:05,000
He kept the pitch he almost went over the plate and fell down on like he might have been trying to go for the real long ball there.

1215
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:07,000
But he hit that ball hard enough.

1216
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:10,000
All he had to do was get it a little bit more into the air.

1217
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:12,000
That gives him three doubles on the year.

1218
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:18,000
That's his fifth RBI three nothing Tigers hit number eight off the bar Hoyt.

1219
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:26,000
And Parrish has been almost a one man wrecking crew here tonight with a pair of doubles and a single a run scored and a run batted in.

1220
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:28,000
Parrish is at second with one out.

1221
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:31,000
And here's Johnny Grubb who's tapped out twice.

1222
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:40,000
First pitch a check swing on a fastball a bit high just above the letters ball one.

1223
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:45,000
We're in the sixth the Tigers now with a three run lead.

1224
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:50,000
And so far Mr. Wilcox hasn't given the White Sox an inch.

1225
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,000
There's a smash up the middle.

1226
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:56,000
That's a ski wheels throws wide in the bag the runner is safe.

1227
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:57,000
That'll be a hit.

1228
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:00,000
That's a ski world three hundred sixty degrees.

1229
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:08,000
He loved that ball deep behind the bag at second but his throw tail towards the home plate side and pull Walker off the bag and Grubb will be given credit for a hit.

1230
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,000
Butters at first and third.

1231
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:19,000
Now that was if you went over to the grass right behind second base he had a world around Joe said make a complete turnaround to throw the ball had to do it in a hurry.

1232
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:29,000
But he didn't make the good throw that has hit the bird nine off point and we got a couple of pitchers heating up in a hurry and the White Sox bullpen.

1233
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:35,000
Oh wait a minute they're going to get to be a ski an error.

1234
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:39,000
Oh boy that is one tough error on the Zitzke in this kind of weather tonight.

1235
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:43,000
Here comes Dave Duncan.

1236
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:46,000
Dave Duncan the pitching coach comes out to have a word with light.

1237
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:51,000
So change your score sheets throwing air on the Zitzke.

1238
01:24:51,000 --> 01:25:05,000
He did a great job in getting to the ball but the throw of course looked like it would have had the hitter grub beaten and so the throw allowing the runner to reach.

1239
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:06,000
Yes he did.

1240
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:10,000
He made a good stop went over behind second base and made the throw.

1241
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:14,000
He would have had to make a perfect throw if he got him and I don't know if he got him then or not.

1242
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:16,000
He might have had him by half a step or a step.

1243
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:20,000
According to the scorer's decision he would have had him and so that's why they charged the air.

1244
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:26,000
That is a very tough error.

1245
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:27,000
All right.

1246
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,000
Here's Glenn Wilson he's tripled in a run and scored.

1247
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:31,000
He's one for two last time up he bounced out to second.

1248
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:33,000
Sox need a double play here.

1249
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:34,000
First pitch a swing and a miss.

1250
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:39,000
As White took something off of that pitch pulled a string on it and White.

1251
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:41,000
Fooled the hitter Glenn Wilson that time.

1252
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:45,000
Butters at first and third one out here the Tigers sixth the runners in.

1253
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:50,000
Parrish over at third he's three for three the big bat tonight for the Bengals.

1254
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:52,000
Over at first is Johnny Grubb.

1255
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:54,000
White working out of the stretch.

1256
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:58,000
Swing and a miss on a pitch down and then Wilson waved at that one.

1257
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:06,000
Fiddle in the cat is on to.

1258
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:09,000
We've got some no hit information to pass along your way.

1259
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:15,000
If Wilcox goes another inning or so.

1260
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:17,000
On to the cat.

1261
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:21,000
To Glenn Wilson here's the pitch fastball inside he had a hop out of the way of that one.

1262
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:24,000
One ball and two strikes.

1263
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:29,000
The last no hitter pitched in this ballpark was September 10th 1967 by right handed Joel Harlan.

1264
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:34,000
The White Sox over the same Detroit Tigers.

1265
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:40,000
So it's been 16 15 and a half years since they've had a no hitter pitched in this ballpark.

1266
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:44,000
Pitch is a bit low on inside and Wilson laid off of it.

1267
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:46,000
Two balls and two strikes to go.

1268
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:51,000
Ted Rowe is one of the two pitchers heating up for the White Sox.

1269
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:56,000
It's all right hander.

1270
01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:58,000
And a lefty.

1271
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:00,000
Might be Kevin Hickey.

1272
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:04,000
Two to deliberate.

1273
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:06,000
Just a little bit low.

1274
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:09,000
Fisk couldn't hang on and a full count now to Glenn Wilson.

1275
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:12,000
Johnny Grubb with a three run lead over at first will probably be off with a pitch.

1276
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:19,000
Parrish of course will hold at third and see what happens.

1277
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,000
Full count to Glenn Wilson.

1278
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,000
The stretch there goes the runner at first.

1279
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:25,000
The pitch is swung on a comeback right to the mound.

1280
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:27,000
They've got the runner caught in the box at third.

1281
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:29,000
Point throws to Fisk who runs it back to third.

1282
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:31,000
You want to make sure you get a man here out of the baseline.

1283
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:34,000
He's called out.

1284
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:35,000
They didn't tag him that time.

1285
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:36,000
They didn't have to.

1286
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:38,000
Parrish ran out of the baseline.

1287
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:41,000
So Fisk will be given credit for the put out.

1288
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:43,000
And the Tigers have runners at first and second.

1289
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:46,000
Nobody moved to third on the play.

1290
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:52,000
So fielder's choice by Hoyt on the ball hit back to the box.

1291
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,000
A one hopper to Hoyt off the bat of Glenn Wilson.

1292
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,000
A one to fielder's choice.

1293
01:27:56,000 --> 01:28:02,000
Wilson safe at first. Rub stayed at second after he broke for third.

1294
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:03,000
So that's one run down.

1295
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:04,000
The fourth of the year the first one.

1296
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:08,000
The White Sox have turned to their favor.

1297
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:11,000
I don't think I'll ever forget that play at second base yesterday.

1298
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:12,000
Two gone now.

1299
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:13,000
Runners at first and second.

1300
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:15,000
Here's Chet Fleming who's singled in around in the second.

1301
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:22,000
Struck out his last time up.

1302
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:23,000
Hoyt to the belt.

1303
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:24,000
Looks at second.

1304
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:25,000
The pitch a fastball strike call.

1305
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:30,000
The ball is high outside corner all in one.

1306
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:36,000
That's the last no hitter pitch to the American League was on the 15th of May in 81 by Len Barker.

1307
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:40,000
Against Toronto that was that perfect ball gave me through against the Blue Jays.

1308
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:43,000
I saw that game Joe and boy he had great stuff.

1309
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:45,000
About 13 strikeouts that game.

1310
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:46,000
I reckon he did.

1311
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:50,000
For the swing and a loop on the right field that's going to score a run.

1312
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:52,000
Bates picks it up in the right field corner.

1313
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:55,000
The runner from second and hit first time at second.

1314
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:57,000
Oh and it's second base.

1315
01:28:57,000 --> 01:29:04,000
Chet Lemon out trying to stretch a RBI single into a double as Bates cut him down.

1316
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:09,000
Chet second hit second RBI of the game and the Tigers add to their lead.

1317
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:13,000
They double it here in the sixth with two runs on three hits in an era.

1318
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:15,000
One man left and at the end of five and a half,

1319
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:22,000
Detroit leads it 4-0.

1320
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:25,000
My neighbor Sam is impressed by titles.

1321
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:32,000
When he found out Miss New Jersey drives a Honda Accord four door sedan, same as mine,

1322
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:34,000
he couldn't wait to tell me.

1323
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:36,000
But I wasn't surprised.

1324
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:40,000
After all I said Miss New Jersey and the Honda Accord have a lot in common.

1325
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:44,000
They're both beautiful and highly regarded by the competition.

1326
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:51,000
Yes but Miss New Jersey, cried Sam, a reigning beauty queen with the same car as you.

1327
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:55,000
So what I said, a lot of beautiful people drive Honda Accords.

1328
01:29:55,000 --> 01:30:07,000
It's the best selling front wheel drive four door sedan in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Oregon, Virginia and Washington.

1329
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:09,000
No New Jersey, ah Sam?

1330
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:10,000
No.

1331
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:12,000
New Jersey was a miss.

1332
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:19,000
Honda, we make it simple.

1333
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:22,000
Hi, Bob Hope for Texaco.

1334
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:24,000

1341
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:54,000
WMAQ Chicago weather forecast fair and cold, a low of 25 tonight, tomorrow's high 42 partly sunny.

1342
01:30:54,000 --> 01:31:00,000
43 right now at WMAQ.

1343
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:05,000

Call them today.

1346
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:17,000
Joe McConnell along with early wind.

1347
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:22,000
So far tonight the White Sox haven't had a lick to cheer about or even get excited about.

1348
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:25,000
Wilcox has retired 15 straight hitters through five innings.

1349
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:30,000
He's thrown only 59 pitches and now he has a 4-0 lead working for him as we go to the bottom of the sixth.

1350
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:32,000
He'll face the tail end of the order.

1351
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:38,000
Fisk, Law, and Dabczynski. Fisk lied to shadow left his first time up.

1352
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:41,000
And that has been the only ball hit out of the infield against Milt Wilcox.

1353
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:44,000
Tonight has been letter perfect.

1354
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:52,000
The pitch on the way to Fisk, up and in, a bit close for a ball, ball one.

1355
01:31:52,000 --> 01:32:00,000
Nolan Ryan has pitched a fifth career no-hitter for himself on September 26th at 81 by beating the Dodgers 5-0.

1356
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:03,000
That is the last previous no-hitter in the big leagues.

1357
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:06,000
And there's a breaking ball on the way, ball two to Fisk.

1358
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:08,000
Tigers have four runs on nine hits off Hoyt.

1359
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:13,000
He's had two bad innings, the second, which he gave up two runs on four hits.

1360
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:16,000
And in the top half of this inning, the sixth, he gave up two runs on three hits in an error.

1361
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:19,000
One of the four runs off Hoyt is unearned.

1362
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:22,000
That was a tough error on Jerry Dabczynski.

1363
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:25,000
To another count to the leadoff batter, Carlton Fisk.

1364
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:26,000
Here's the pitch for the right-hander.

1365
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:31,000
Fastball just a bit high, ball three.

1366
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:35,000
Right now, I'll take base runners anywhere we can get them, Gus.

1367
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:38,000
And a case like this, yes, Joe, we gotta take it.

1368
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:39,000
We need a bunch.

1369
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:40,000
So he's gotta be taken for sure.

1370
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:49,000
Real pitch to Fisk, fastball right down the pipe at the knees for a call strike, three and one.

1371
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:53,000
Wilcox now makes his off in West Bloomfield, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit.

1372
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:56,000
Here's a three-one delivery.

1373
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:58,000
Strike at the knees, the slider.

1374
01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:03,000
Now the count is full, three and two.

1375
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:07,000
Wilcox has three strikeouts, no walks.

1376
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:08,000
Second full count of the night.

1377
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:10,000
This one to punch Fisk leading off the bottom of the sixth.

1378
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:18,000
Now he calls time, just as Wilcox starts his motion.

1379
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:23,000
Angels now with a five-run lead at the Met, the Metrodome, six to one in the sixth over the Twins.

1380
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:27,000
There's a swing, pop foul, gonna be out of play, first base side.

1381
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:34,000
This misses the upper deck, bounces off the camera deck, suspended from the mezzanine, and drops into the lower deck.

1382
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:42,000
Still three and two to Fisk.

1383
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:48,000
Red to the count, Fisk waiting. Wilcox into his line, appears the payoff pitch.

1384
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:53,000
Swing and a miss, hey, struck him out on that slip pitch, that's the porkball, a sinker.

1385
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:58,000
And that is three strikeouts for the last four batters and four on the night for Wilcox.

1386
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:02,000
He seems to be getting tougher.

1387
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:06,000
So that's 16 Monroe retired, that brings up Vance Law, who bounced out to third his first time.

1388
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:11,000
Vance is gonna break it up right here.

1389
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:17,000
Wilcox is throwing harder tonight, and I believe he, you know, consistently, and I've seen him in quite some time.

1390
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:23,000
Not letting up. The pitch to Vance Law, fastball strike, felt high inside corner, 0-1.

1391
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:31,000
Maybe he knows what he's going for, and they say you're not supposed to know it.

1392
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:37,000
Wilcox delivers to Law, a curve, and it dropped just a bit low. That was a beauty, a sharp...

1393
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:42,000
Breaking ball, down and in, but it just missed the strike zone, 1-1 to count.

1394
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:47,000
Vance Law taps the dirt out of his spikes with the end of his bat, now settles back in there.

1395
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:52,000
Law, an avid pupil of batting instructor Charlie Lowe, rocks back and forth on his feet.

1396
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:58,000
Here's the pitch, and it's a bit high with a slider, ball two and strike one, as Wilcox

1397
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:02,000
patted his glove after he threw that pitch, he knew it was up.

1398
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:07,000
The pitchers, especially, are very superstitious about having one going, no hitter going, and somebody

1399
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:12,000
misses it on the bench. One time, a pitcher had, a Cleveland pitcher had a no hitter going,

1400
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:16,000
somebody walked down to him and said, hey, you know you got a no hitter going?

1401
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:21,000
Swing and a miss, who? Law swung right through that pitch and accounted for two to Vance.

1402
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:24,000
And sure enough, the next inning, he got a hit off of him.

1403
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:26,000
What did you do to the guy?

1404
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:29,000
Everybody was about to kill him.

1405
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:32,000
How long did you carry a no hitter into a ball game?

1406
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:36,000
Oh, I've gone into the ninth, eighth time or so, seventh few times.

1407
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:37,000
Never made it though.

1408
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:38,000
Not in the majors.

1409
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:43,000
Swing and a miss, he pulled the string, and Law was out in front of off-stripe and waved

1410
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:46,000
that at Fiddley on that darting breaking ball down and away.

1411
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:49,000
Five strikeouts for Wilcox.

1412
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:53,000
Four in the last two innings.

1413
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:56,000
Jerry Dibczynski has got a bat now.

1414
01:35:56,000 --> 01:36:01,000
He tapped to the mound his first time up.

1415
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:06,000
Wouldn't it be funny if Dibczynski in his second at bat this year break up a perfect game.

1416
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:12,000
Wilcox has retired 17 straight with five strikeouts, four in the last five batters in fan.

1417
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:14,000
We're in the bottom of the sixth.

1418
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:18,000
The Tiger right hander working on a 4-0 lead as well.

1419
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:24,000
Well, it would certainly be a pleasure to all of us to see the Dibber get something started here.

1420
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:26,000
Pitch is a strike at the knees.

1421
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:29,000
He watched that one all the way into Parrish's myth.

1422
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:37,000
I think it was pretty evident that I've never seen Wilcox as tough as he is tonight.

1423
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:39,000
The 0-1 pitch to Dibczynski, a swing and a miss.

1424
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:41,000
Oh, he went after a letter high fastball.

1425
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:43,000
Went down to one knee, onto the count.

1426
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:46,000
And as Wilcox threw that pitch, he done a little dance.

1427
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:49,000
Yeah, I think he wanted it back as soon as he let it go.

1428
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:50,000
I think he was worried.

1429
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:55,000
That pitch was right up in the wheelhouse.

1430
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:56,000
On to the count.

1431
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:59,000
In fact, I think Wilcox has gotten away with a couple of pitches this inning.

1432
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:01,000
Here's the 0-2 pitch to Dibczynski.

1433
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:03,000
Oh, a late cut and a swing and a miss and a fastball.

1434
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:05,000
He struck out the side.

1435
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:08,000
Six strikeouts in the game, five in the last two innings.

1436
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:12,000
And at the end of six innings of play here, Wilcox working on a perfect no-hitter.

1437
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:15,000
The score, Detroit 4, the White Sox nothing.

1438
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:19,000
Talk baseball with Pearsall after the game on WMAQ.

1439
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:22,000
Hey, Ted, are you still leaving other coach for Little League?

1440
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:25,000
What's this, Carl? I thought you were going to move.

1441
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:27,000
No way, neighbor. I'm staying right here.

1442
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:28,000
What happened?

1443
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:31,000
Well, after looking at the cost of a bigger house and the high mortgage rates,

1444
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:33,000
we decided to put on an addition instead.

1445
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:34,000
Hey, good thinking.

1446
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:37,000
Good thinking and a home equity loan from General Finance.

1447
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:38,000
Let me get this right.

1448
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:42,000
Is your home equity the difference between what you owe on your mortgage

1449
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:44,000
and what your home is now worth?

1450
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:48,000
Right, and that equity was more than enough to cover the loan for the addition.

1451
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:49,000
I see.

1452
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:53,000
So, you used your house to borrow money from General Finance

1453
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:56,000
to put on an addition that increases the value of your house.

1454
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:57,000
You got it.

1455
01:37:57,000 --> 01:37:59,000
And the Little League's got a new coach.

1456
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:00,000
All right.

1457
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:08,000
As a homeowner, you may be able to borrow $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, $20,000, up to $25,000.

1458
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:13,000
Money you can use as you see fit when you get a home equity loan from General Finance.

1459
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:18,000
Call General Finance for a large home equity loan up to $50,000 or for a smaller consumer loan.

1460
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:55,000
You can talk to White Sox owner Eddie Einhorn Sunday morning at 10 right here on 67 WMAQ, it's 916.

1461
01:38:55,000 --> 01:39:00,000
We go to the seventh and to call it for you, here's early.

1462
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:02,000
And it's a tough job tonight.

1463
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:04,000
Lamar Hoard having a little bit of trouble.

1464
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:10,000
First pitch to the batter, Mark Leach, the first baseman, is inside corner, breaking pitch for a call strike.

1465
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:11,000
Hoard's been in trouble two innings.

1466
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:16,000
The second inning, two runs, the sixth inning, two runs, and the Tigers lead 4-0.

1467
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:18,000
Pitch is inside to Leach.

1468
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:20,000
Now the count is even, 1-1.

1469
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:25,000
On the other side of the corn, Milt Wilcock, who's really breezing along.

1470
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:31,000
Never seen him have better stuff than he's had tonight, and it's quite evident with the no hitter he's got going, the perfect ballgame.

1471
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:34,000
Pitch swung on by Leach, and that's a drill down the left field line.

1472
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:36,000
Foul, going to go down into the seat.

1473
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:39,000
Left-hander Jerry Kuzma now throwing in a bullpen.

1474
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:44,000
By the way, the days of buying a poor seat to a Sox game at a remote ticket outlet are over.

1475
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:54,000
You can get the best seat available at the ballpark at any one of 35 ticket master centers, located in Sports Marts, Rose Records, Baskin Clothing, or any Carson Perry Scott stores.

1476
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:58,000
The pitch swung on by Leach, he went after a bad pitch, and he strikes out.

1477
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:02,000
So that's strikeout number six for Hoard in the ballgame.

1478
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:13,000
By the way, the number to call in case you'd like to buy a Sox ticket at any one of the 35 ticket master centers, 559-1212.

1479
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:21,000
Lamar hasn't had bad stuff by any means, he's had good stuff, but Lance Parrish has solved it every time he's been up to the plate.

1480
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:24,000
He's three for three tonight, he's scored one run, driven in one.

1481
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:29,000
This is Alan Trimble, a shortstop, takes the first pitch over for a call strike by Hoyt.

1482
01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:34,000
Hoyt has six strikeouts, Gus, but he's fanned Herndon three times.

1483
01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:37,000
Yeah, he should have scattered those around, maybe got Parrish once or twice.

1484
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:38,000
Yeah.

1485
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:40,000
And he windspires, that's what is outside.

1486
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:44,000
Now this has been Wilcox and Parrish night.

1487
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:47,000
Parrish is really having a night for himself.

1488
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:50,000
Hoyt looking in, getting the sign.

1489
01:40:50,000 --> 01:41:03,000
Trimble is ready, he swings on a breaking pitch high, misses for a strike two.

1490
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:09,000
Let's give up a couple other base hits at different innings, that's a swing on a high breaking pitch, going into center field,

1491
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:13,000
really long coming in, he can't get it, just a little blooper out behind second base.

1492
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:18,000
Now Trimble is on, that's the tenth hill of the ballgame for the Tigers.

1493
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:26,000
And the Tigers have another base runner, a little bloop single into center field, Texas Laker.

1494
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:29,000
We'll go back to the top of the batting order, Lou Whitaker.

1495
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:38,000
Whitaker is one for three tonight, had a fly ball into the left side of the field, caught by Ron Kittle.

1496
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:45,000
Now I do believe we're going to have a pitching change as Tony LaRusso comes out,

1497
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:55,000
and he's going to let the left-hander, probably Jerry Kuzman, come in to pitch to Lou Whitaker.

1498
01:41:55,000 --> 01:42:04,000
Yes, he is taking Lamar Hoyt out, and we're going to get a new pitcher, so we'll take this time out and be right back.

1499
01:42:04,000 --> 01:42:11,000
Central Tire keeps you on the road, Central Tire has brand names you know.

1500
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:15,000
While the team is changing pitchers, think about changing to new General Tires for your car.

1501
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:19,000
Central Tire in Chicago and Cicero, your local General Tire store has quality General Tires,

1502
01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:24,000
including the top of the line Dual Steel 3 with Gin Seal Sealant, to the popular price to Marist Red.

1503
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:28,000
Central Tire also carries tires for light trucks, vans, recreational vehicles and more.

1504
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:31,000
Check on your tires, they may need some relief too.

1505
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:34,000
Stop in at Central Tire today and see the complete lines of Generals.

1506
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:38,000
Quality, choice, price, General Tire has a tire for you.

1507
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:41,000
Central Tire has a price for you.

1508
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:44,000
Central Tire's there with follow through.

1509
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:47,000
We'll pitch your car with the best deal in town.

1510
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:51,000
At Central Tire, we're always around.

1511
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:56,000
At Central Tire, we're always around.

1512
01:42:56,000 --> 01:42:57,000
Central Tire!

1513
01:42:57,000 --> 01:43:03,000
Central Tire with four General Tire locations, including 18th and Indiana, and 12040 South Doty in Chicago.

1514
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:09,000
And all instant request music hour follows tonight's game and Jimmy Pearsall right here on WMAQ.

1515
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:19,000
Well, veteran left-hander Jerry Cousman, 40 years young, comes on to relieve Lamar Hoyt through 96 pitches

1516
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:24,000
in working six and a third innings in his quest for a sixth career victory over the Tigers,

1517
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:26,000
which will not be forthcoming tonight.

1518
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:29,000
Hoyt gave up four runs at the moment, three earned on 10 hits.

1519
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:32,000
He struck out six, did not walk a batter.

1520
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:35,000
And as Gus mentioned, he had two bad innings, the second and the sixth,

1521
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:40,000
when the Tigers bunched seven of their ten hits for all four runs.

1522
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:45,000
Cousman has no wins nor losses, but he picked up a save in three innings of shutout relief

1523
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:49,000
of Dennis Lamp against these Tigers in Detroit.

1524
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:55,000
This is his third appearance. He's worked four innings, given up five hits, three runs, all earned a 6.75 ERA.

1525
01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:59,000
Cousman with 191 lifetime victories, including 11 last year.

1526
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:02,000
He was the most effective starter for the Sox in the final two months of the year.

1527
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:05,000
He won seven of his last nine.

1528
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:11,000
So he's on in relief now to try to keep the Tigers at four and hoping, of course,

1529
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:16,000
the White Sox bats will wake up here in the last three turns against Wilcox

1530
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:18,000
and can turn this ballgame around.

1531
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:24,000
Looked like Hoyt had good stuff, however, the stats do not show it with 10 hits in there,

1532
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:26,000
but he was throwing the ball very hard.

1533
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:31,000
Now Cousman comes on, it'll be a little different change of pace probably.

1534
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:35,000
He won't throw as hard as Hoyt did and or near as often.

1535
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:39,000
He'll sneak that fastball in there once in a while, but he's going to pitch to the left-hander now.

1536
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:43,000
Lou Whitaker, the second baseman. Whitaker is a left-hand batter.

1537
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:47,000
Infield is going to shorten up the double play with the runner on first.

1538
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:51,000
That's Alan Trammell. And only one away.

1539
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:57,000
Of course, Whitaker will be playing footsie with Vance Law down at third base trying to drag him in.

1540
01:44:57,000 --> 01:45:01,000
Cousman goes to first base, the ball gets away from Walker, goes down the line,

1541
01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:04,000
and there goes Alan Trammell going down to second base.

1542
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:07,000
And he's in there safely.

1543
01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:12,000
Cousman made a quick throw at the first base.

1544
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:17,000
And it was a low pitch, which is where he should be over the first base to try and catch the runner off.

1545
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:20,000
Now Walker didn't hold on to it.

1546
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:23,000
Didn't bounce very far, rolled down to the edge of the grass.

1547
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:27,000
However, in the meantime, Trammell, wide awake, took off for second base.

1548
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:30,000
So he's on second base, one away.

1549
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:35,000
It's going to be an error on Walker. That's his third of the year.

1550
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:40,000
Cousman is all set. He's got the sign delivered and Whitaker swings and he misses.

1551
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:46,000
Our official score tonight, Dave Nightingale, formerly of the Chicago Tribune, now of the Sporting News.

1552
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:53,000
Cousman and Walker should have handled it.

1553
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:55,000
Cousman looking in. Trammell's got a good lead.

1554
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:57,000
And a pitch, swung on.

1555
01:45:57,000 --> 01:46:00,000
And Cousman's going to take it on the first hop, throw to first base.

1556
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:01,000
And they got Whitaker.

1557
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:09,000
In the meantime, Alan Trammell comes on over to third base, but there's two away.

1558
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:14,000
That put out was made to picture the first baseman.

1559
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:18,000
Now we'll see if they're going to bring, let Howard Johnson come up to.

1560
01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:22,000
No, they're going to pitch it. He's going to go with the right-handed hitting third sucker.

1561
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:26,000
Tommy Brookens, Sparky not satisfied at all with a four-run lead.

1562
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:34,000
And now right-hander Steve Mura, who has yet to pitch in a regulation game of the White Sox, heating up in the bullpen.

1563
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:40,000
Brookens swings a good bat.

1564
01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:49,000
He's got the best contact most of the time, and he's also a pretty good glove man around third base.

1565
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:52,000
Brookens had a couple of hits against the White Sox in Detroit.

1566
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:59,000
He's hitting 4-0-9 with nine hits and 22 at bats, one homer and four runs batted in.

1567
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:04,000
Johnson was one for three with a run scored.

1568
01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:08,000
Now Cousman's got his work cut out for him, trying to save that run.

1569
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:11,000
White Sox have got to stay in there.

1570
01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:18,000
Wilcox is too strong tonight to let another run come in, or anymore.

1571
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:23,000
A good pitch by Cousman, just about knee-high breaking pitch. It's over for a called strike.

1572
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:26,000
Count goes to one on Brookens.

1573
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:31,000
He will no doubt pitch very cautious to Brookens.

1574
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:35,000
Trammel planted on third with Cousman putting him in the set position.

1575
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:40,000
He's hitting a grounded down to third base side foul.

1576
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:49,000
So Cousman is way ahead of Brookens. Count is on two.

1577
01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:55,000
Cousman probably play mousy with Brookens, trying to mess him up there.

1578
01:47:55,000 --> 01:47:59,000
Has a little bounce down to third base side, beat into the ground, it's foul.

1579
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:04,000
Barely rolled down to the third base coaching box.

1580
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:09,000
Another pitch inside, a little breaking pitch, looks like a slider.

1581
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:11,000
So it's still a one-two count on Tom Brookens.

1582
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:17,000
Third baseman will be third baseman when the Tigers take the field again.

1583
01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:20,000
Cousman pitches from the set position again with a run on third.

1584
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:23,000
Pitch and it's outside.

1585
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:28,000
Now it's one and two.

1586
01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:30,000
It's a four to nothing ball game here at Comiskey Park.

1587
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:35,000
They were the Tigers. They have ten hits and the White Sox have none.

1588
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:39,000
Cousman kicks, delivers, ball swung on and miss, he struck him out.

1589
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:46,000
So Cousman comes in and puts out the fire with a strikeout, strike it out, pitch hitter.

1590
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:50,000
The Tigers got a hit, they got no runs, they leave one man on base.

1591
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:54,000
After six and a half innings, the Tigers four and the White Sox nothing.

1592
01:48:54,000 --> 01:49:02,000
I recently saw what a Honda Civic ran the Indy 581.

1593
01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:04,000
Hmm, must be a mistake.

1594
01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:05,000
So I called Honda.

1595
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:07,000
No, it was official they said.

1596
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:13,000
The U.S. Auto Club drove three 1983 Honda Civic 1300 FE hatchbacks

1597
01:49:13,000 --> 01:49:18,000
around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway until they ran out of gas.

1598
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:23,000
They ran 578 and 581 and 604 miles.

1599
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:26,000
The EPA went even farther I was told.

1600
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:30,000
They made the Civic FE the best gasoline mileage car in America.

1601
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:34,000
EPA estimated 46 miles per gallon and 59 highway.

1602
01:49:34,000 --> 01:49:37,000
Used 46 for comparison only.

1603
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:40,000
And you can expect actual highway mileage to be less.

1604
01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:42,000
But it was no mistake.

1605
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:46,000
The Honda Civic ran the Indy 581.

1606
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:51,000
The Indy 581, hmm, kind of grows on you.

1607
01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:55,000
Honda, we make it simple.

1608
01:49:55,000 --> 01:50:01,000
Now to present the Star Power High Octane Awards, Bob Hope.

1609
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:04,000
Hi, tonight's awards are for the highest octanes you can get.

1610
01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:06,000
Envelope please.

1611
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:11,000
And the winners are Texaco Unleaded with ethanol at 89 octane.

1612
01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:14,000
New Super Regular with ethanol at 91.

1613
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:18,000
And Premium Unleaded with ethanol at 92.

1614
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:23,000
Texaco Star Power helps knock out the knocks with the highest octanes you can get.

1615
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:26,000
Texaco Star Power for car power.

1616
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:30,000
Hi, this is Jim Tyler and have I got some questions for you.

1617
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:34,000
Now according to Mary Poppins you'd always sound precious if you said what?

1618
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:36,000
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

1619
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:38,000
July 20th, 1969, named the event.

1620
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:41,000
I think that was the first day somebody walked on the moon.

1621
01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:42,000
You got it.

1622
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:43,000
Give me a lampstand.

1623
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:44,000
Everybody's gonna win.

1624
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:49,000
67 WMAQ

1625
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:56,000
So join in the fun with Tyler's Trivia, 3 to 7 p.m. on your radio station.

1626
01:50:56,000 --> 01:51:00,000
I'm early win with Joe McConnell here at Comiskey Park where we have quite a game going tonight.

1627
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:04,000
After all the wild hitting and scoring ball games we've had,

1628
01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:07,000
we've got a game going now that is a perfect game for Milt Wilcox.

1629
01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:09,000
Only thrown 74 pitches so far.

1630
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:13,000
Pitching a perfect game, has retired the first 18 batters to facing.

1631
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:16,000
Rudy Law steps into the batter's box to be the first man in this inning

1632
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:18,000
followed by Berndesard and Harold Bain.

1633
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:22,000
First pitch is high and outside for ball one by Wilcox.

1634
01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:24,000
Wilcox hasn't walked anybody.

1635
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:28,000
He's only been three in 201 batter.

1636
01:51:28,000 --> 01:51:32,000
Third baseman playing in on there to the grass so that Law can't bunt.

1637
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:38,000
Now Wilcox gets the pitch over and count is even at 1-1.

1638
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:39,000
It's 4 to nothing.

1639
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:43,000
They have a total of 10 hits and the White Sox have nothing.

1640
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:45,000
They say that you can get to Wilcox if you stay with him,

1641
01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:47,000
but he's staying with everybody tonight.

1642
01:51:47,000 --> 01:51:49,000
All the hitters and nobody's gotten to him so far.

1643
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:52,000
Pitch is outside a seeker.

1644
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:58,000
And Rudy Law is now ahead of Wilcox, two balls and a strike.

1645
01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:03,000
Outfield shifted over to the left as they do normally on Rudy Law.

1646
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:07,000
He has a lot of space on right center field and a lot of space down the right field line.

1647
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:09,000
Wilcox winds and he fires.

1648
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:12,000
A breaking pitch inside and low.

1649
01:52:12,000 --> 01:52:13,000
And it's three balls and a strike.

1650
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:19,000
This is the first time he's been three and one, I do believe.

1651
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:22,000
Last inning, the sixth inning, Wilcox struck out the side.

1652
01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:27,000
Struck out Carlton Fifth, Vance Law, and Jerry Dabdinski.

1653
01:52:27,000 --> 01:52:30,000
Struck out a total of six.

1654
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:32,000
Goes into the pump, winds and delivers.

1655
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:34,000
Law swings the grounder going down the first base side,

1656
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:39,000
taken by the first baseman, leaps and Rudy Law is out by the first baseman unassisted.

1657
01:52:39,000 --> 01:52:41,000
That's one away.

1658
01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:44,000
So now that is 19 batters retired in a row.

1659
01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:47,000
And it'll bring up Tony Bernizard.

1660
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:49,000
Tony is a switch hitter.

1661
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:52,000
Got about left-handed against Wilcox as he's done all night.

1662
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:54,000
Tony is 0 for 2 as everybody else.

1663
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:58,000
Who is not 0 for 3.

1664
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:01,000
Grounded out to the shortstop first time.

1665
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:04,000
Then he popped up to the...

1666
01:53:04,000 --> 01:53:08,000
or grounded out to the second base, but his second time up in the fourth inning.

1667
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:10,000
Wilcox winds delivers.

1668
01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:14,000
And a high pop-up on the first base side in foul territory.

1669
01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:16,000
And the first baseman leaps calling for it.

1670
01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:18,000
He almost jumps into the air to get it.

1671
01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:20,000
And he takes it in foul territory.

1672
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:23,000
That's out number two.

1673
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:29,000
That is 20 batters in a row.

1674
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:32,000
Looks like the players themselves know that there's a perfect game going.

1675
01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:36,000
And you play in a perfect game.

1676
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:42,000
We'll get your name in the record books for sure in big press.

1677
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:45,000
This will bring up Harold Baines, right fielder.

1678
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:49,000
Baines grounded out to the...

1679
01:53:49,000 --> 01:53:52,000
first baseman, thrown over to the pitcher the first time up in the first inning.

1680
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:55,000
Then he grounded out to the first baseman unassisted in the...

1681
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:57,000
back and the four.

1682
01:53:57,000 --> 01:54:04,000
Pitchers on the inside corner breaking pitch by Wilcox for call strike.

1683
01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:09,000
The players will dive and run and jump and everything to catch a ball in this ball game.

1684
01:54:09,000 --> 01:54:11,000
Swing and a foul going down the left side.

1685
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:14,000
And that's going to be out of play on the left.

1686
01:54:14,000 --> 01:54:22,000
The White Sox dugout just down below it.

1687
01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:26,000
I guess it's every player's dream to play in a perfect game.

1688
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:31,000
If you're on the winning side only.

1689
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:35,000
Wilcox has been the master tonight.

1690
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:42,000
So far, the Sox don't have much time left.

1691
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:46,000
Wilcox winds, he fires, Baines swings, pops up back over the...

1692
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:49,000
Sox dugout to our left.

1693
01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:52,000
That was going to go into the upper deck.

1694
01:54:52,000 --> 01:55:03,000
0-2 on Harold Baines, two men away here in the bottom of the seventh inning.

1695
01:55:03,000 --> 01:55:09,000
The pitch and a way outside ball one.

1696
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:16,000
Wilcox being ahead on two sides, if Baines wanted to go fishing, he'd have to have a long line.

1697
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:20,000
That pitch was about three foot outside.

1698
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:23,000
Airplane Baines, kindly straight away in the outfield.

1699
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:26,000
The pitch, Baines swings and he's drilled one into left field.

1700
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:30,000
Hearned and started back, then he had to stop and he takes it for the out.

1701
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:32,000
21 batters in a row.

1702
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:37,000
As Baines winds to left field for the third out here in the bottom of the seventh inning.

1703
01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:41,000
We will go into the top of the eighth with the Tigers leading 4-0.

1704
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:46,000
After the game, it's Jimmy Pearsall on WMAQ.

1705
01:55:46,000 --> 01:55:52,000

Central Tire with four General Tire locations including Cottage Grove near Sir Mack and Roosevelt Road near Austin and Cicero.

1717
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:47,000
Jerry Taft of the American Meteorological Society.

1718
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:51,000
Well Chicago's probably one of the toughest cities in the country to forecast for.

1719
01:56:51,000 --> 01:56:55,000
That's why to do the best job possible you have to have the latest technical equipment.

1720
01:56:55,000 --> 01:57:00,000
Now we have a satellite receiver. It gives us a detailed look from space every 30 minutes.

1721
01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:05,000
We've got digital color radar and probably the best computer system in the country.

1722
01:57:05,000 --> 01:57:12,000
I don't always get it right but I want you to know that I've got all the tools to give it my best shot right here on WMAQ.

1723
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:15,000
Let's check Jerry Taft's forecast and see if he's right.

1724
01:57:15,000 --> 01:57:19,000
Fair and cold tonight, low 25. High tomorrow, 42, partly sunny.

1725
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:24,000
Right now it is 43 on WMAQ.

1726
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:26,000
Well here we go to the eighth inning.

1727
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:29,000
The first pitch Kuzman delivers to Herndon Lowen inside ball one.

1728
01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:34,000
Herndon struck out three straight times against the starter Lamar Hoy to work the first six of the third innings.

1729
01:57:34,000 --> 01:57:39,000
Kuzman came on, wiggle out of any further damage in the seventh,

1730
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:43,000
replacing Hoyt with one on and one out and knocked his first strike out of the game.

1731
01:57:43,000 --> 01:57:49,000
But the story now is secondary.

1732
01:57:49,000 --> 01:57:54,000
Milt Wilcox is the story of tonight's ball game. He has pitched perfect baseball through seven innings.

1733
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:57,000
He has retired 21 consecutive White Sox batters.

1734
01:57:57,000 --> 01:58:00,000
And has a four to nothing lead here in the top of the eighth inning.

1735
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:04,000
And Kuzman delivers to Herndon. Fast ball at the knees for a called strike.

1736
01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:06,000
Kuzman looks plenty quick tonight, Gus.

1737
01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:11,000
I imagine he'll feel pretty fast and pretty strong tonight in this cool weather.

1738
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:14,000
See if he can handle Herndon as good as Lamar Hoyt did.

1739
01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:16,000
One on one the cap, the left-hander kicks and deals.

1740
01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:19,000
Curve ball lined in the right field. That ball is trouble.

1741
01:58:19,000 --> 01:58:22,000
And it is a fair ball just inside the line.

1742
01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:26,000
Rolling up against that low boxy Reilly out there as Bates picks it up.

1743
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:30,000
He's going to send him back to second I believe.

1744
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:34,000
Sparky Anderson out there with first base up by Nick Bremigan who called fan interference.

1745
01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:39,000
That'll be a ground rule lead off double down into the right field corner off the bat of Larry Herndon.

1746
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:45,000
That's the first time we've seen that happen this year.

1747
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:49,000
That's one thing that fans shouldn't do is interfere with plays on the field.

1748
01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:51,000
We've been saying that forever.

1749
01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:54,000
Yeah, I know it.

1750
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:58,000
I don't understand it myself.

1751
01:58:58,000 --> 01:59:05,000
Someday one is going to run into a fielder trying to feel that ball and probably get hurt.

1752
01:59:05,000 --> 01:59:10,000
Or else hurt a fielder.

1753
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:14,000
Here's the big bat for the Tigers tonight. The guy who's catching the perfect game.

1754
01:59:14,000 --> 01:59:19,000
Lance Parrish. He has doubled twice and single. He has scored a run and knocked it around.

1755
01:59:19,000 --> 01:59:23,000
He's played a part in all the Tiger offense tonight.

1756
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:26,000
Now he's up with the runner at second. Nobody out here in the eighth inning.

1757
01:59:26,000 --> 01:59:29,000
First pitch, slow curve and a beauty over the outside corner.

1758
01:59:29,000 --> 01:59:31,000
Knee high, all in one.

1759
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:33,000
Herndon at second.

1760
01:59:33,000 --> 01:59:34,000
Nobody out.

1761
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:38,000
We're in the eighth inning. The Tigers lead it 4-0. That was the 11th Detroit hit.

1762
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:42,000
Herndon at the plate has rather Parrish at the plate has three of them.

1763
01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:46,000
Guzman working out of the stretch delivers. Fastball. He almost chased it into the dirt.

1764
01:59:46,000 --> 01:59:47,000
And he did.

1765
01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:51,000
Tried to check his swing. Nick Bremigan shot the right arm in the air. His fist looked down there.

1766
01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:54,000
And so the count is two strikes on Parrish.

1767
01:59:57,000 --> 02:00:01,000
In the Sox eighth, it'll be Luzinski, Kittle and Walker.

1768
02:00:01,000 --> 02:00:05,000
And if Wilcox retires them in the ninth, it would be the bottom third of the order.

1769
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:08,000
Probably a couple of pitch hitters following Fisk.

1770
02:00:08,000 --> 02:00:12,000
Guzman to the bell. Check second. Here's the pitch. Swung on high.

1771
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:17,000
Fly ball, twisting foul. Way down the upfield side. Back out of play into the upper deck.

1772
02:00:17,000 --> 02:00:22,000
Bounced off the top of the auxiliary scoreboard. He wound up in the walkway down in the lower deck.

1773
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:28,000
So the count holds it on to Parrish.

1774
02:00:28,000 --> 02:00:35,000
The last time the White Sox were no hit was on the 1st of August, 1962.

1775
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:42,000
Here at Comiskey Park, Bill Manbuket, a class of little right-hander for the Boston Red Sox, beat them 1-0 in 62.

1776
02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:45,000
It's been a long time. 21 years.

1777
02:00:45,000 --> 02:00:48,000
Swing, little tap down the third base side. Fair ball. No. Rolls foul.

1778
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:52,000
Just as it got to the bag, there would not have been much of a play on Parrish at first.

1779
02:00:52,000 --> 02:00:54,000
That ball stayed fair.

1780
02:00:54,000 --> 02:00:58,000
So the count, still on to the Parrish.

1781
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:03,000
Muro, the right-hander, was up and throwing. Guzman, the second pitcher used tonight.

1782
02:01:05,000 --> 02:01:08,000
Burned it at second. Nobody out. We're in the eighth.

1783
02:01:10,000 --> 02:01:12,000
In case you've just joined us.

1784
02:01:12,000 --> 02:01:17,000
Milt Wilcox has a perfect game through seven innings. He's retired 21 consecutive batters.

1785
02:01:17,000 --> 02:01:20,000
We're in the eighth. Right-leading, 4-0.

1786
02:01:23,000 --> 02:01:27,000
Guzman to the back, the left-hander kicks and deals. Swung on, bounce, foul again.

1787
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:30,000
Pass third base coach Alec Grimas. Still on to.

1788
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:52,000
One team has gone longer than the White Sox without being a no-hit.

1789
02:01:52,000 --> 02:01:55,000
You know who that club is, Guz?

1790
02:01:55,000 --> 02:01:56,000
Nope.

1791
02:01:56,000 --> 02:02:02,000
New York Yankees. The last time they were shut out was when I was in college by Hoyt Wilhelm in 58.

1792
02:02:02,000 --> 02:02:04,000
Last time they were no-hit.

1793
02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:05,000
There's a line drive foul.

1794
02:02:05,000 --> 02:02:08,000
Yanked into the low seats down to third base side off the bat of Parrish.

1795
02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:12,000
As Guzman took a little bit off of that breaking ball and Lance was out in front.

1796
02:02:12,000 --> 02:02:16,000
That was a guy, Wilhelm, that I expected to pitch a no-hitter every time he walked out.

1797
02:02:16,000 --> 02:02:21,000
Well, he didn't start too many. That was one of the few starts he ever had in his major league career.

1798
02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:25,000
He came out of the bullpen to face the Yankees late.

1799
02:02:25,000 --> 02:02:29,000
In fact, it was September 20, 1958 and shut him out in Baltimore.

1800
02:02:29,000 --> 02:02:31,000
Shut him out, he no hit him.

1801
02:02:31,000 --> 02:02:33,000
There's a high pop-up off the bat of Parrish.

1802
02:02:33,000 --> 02:02:36,000
Foul-tipped or at best coming back near the railing.

1803
02:02:36,000 --> 02:02:38,000
One hand's right up against the wall.

1804
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:43,000
And that is the first ball we've seen caught this year that definitely would have been out of reach a year ago.

1805
02:02:43,000 --> 02:02:50,000
That was a tough catch and he backhanded the ball leading over that low boxy drilling over the first row.

1806
02:02:50,000 --> 02:02:53,000
Well, that's a moral victory to get Lance Parrish out.

1807
02:02:53,000 --> 02:02:55,000
First time he's been gotten out tonight.

1808
02:02:56,000 --> 02:02:58,000
Good piscis time for that one.

1809
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:00,000
One gone, runners still at second.

1810
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:04,000
Here's Johnny Grubb who reached out a rather good a pull grub.

1811
02:03:04,000 --> 02:03:07,000
It's going to be Johnny Walkenfuss, a right-handed hitter batting for Johnny Grubb.

1812
02:03:07,000 --> 02:03:10,000
He was 0 for 3 tonight although he did score a run.

1813
02:03:10,000 --> 02:03:14,000
He reached on the tough throwing error against Jerry Dibzhinski the last time up.

1814
02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:21,000
Walkenfuss hit 300 for the Tigers a year ago.

1815
02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:28,000
He's hitting 214 this time with 3 hits and 14 at bats to RBI's.

1816
02:03:31,000 --> 02:03:34,000
Walkenfuss has got that unorthodox stance.

1817
02:03:34,000 --> 02:03:36,000
Left foot right in front of the right foot.

1818
02:03:36,000 --> 02:03:41,000
Strides into the pitch, takes a change-up curve in there at the knees for a call strike.

1819
02:03:52,000 --> 02:03:54,000
Guzman to the stretch. Here's the pitch.

1820
02:03:54,000 --> 02:03:57,000
Swung on, high deep drive, left field.

1821
02:03:57,000 --> 02:04:02,000
At the wall is Kittle and he hauls it into the warning track.

1822
02:04:02,000 --> 02:04:05,000
The ball died. It was a little bit too high to go.

1823
02:04:05,000 --> 02:04:08,000
Yesterday that ball might have hit the roof.

1824
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:11,000
That ball would have traveled a lot farther yesterday than it did tonight.

1825
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:13,000
When he first hit it I thought it was going to go out.

1826
02:04:13,000 --> 02:04:15,000
He got good wood on it, just lifted it too high.

1827
02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:19,000
Too gone. Kittle caught that ball right at the base of the left field wall.

1828
02:04:21,000 --> 02:04:25,000
That'll bring up Glenn Wilson who has tripled in a run and 3 trips tonight.

1829
02:04:25,000 --> 02:04:28,000
Also scored. He tripled and knocked in the first run of the ball game,

1830
02:04:28,000 --> 02:04:31,000
which right now stands as the game winner in the second inning,

1831
02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:34,000
and then scored on 11 single last time up.

1832
02:04:34,000 --> 02:04:38,000
Get a one hopper back to the mound and they ran down, parrish it through.

1833
02:04:38,000 --> 02:04:40,000
One for three. Swung on, line drive, right field,

1834
02:04:40,000 --> 02:04:42,000
Mates coming on, coming on, plays it on a hop.

1835
02:04:42,000 --> 02:04:44,000
Here comes a throw to the plate. Here comes the runner.

1836
02:04:44,000 --> 02:04:48,000
He is safe and going to second on the throw to the plate.

1837
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:50,000
There's Glenn Wilson and it's 5-0 Detroit.

1838
02:04:50,000 --> 02:04:54,000
Dead run charged to Jerry Guzman as Wilson drives in his second run

1839
02:04:54,000 --> 02:05:04,000
of the ball game in his ninth of the year with a single to right.

1840
02:05:04,000 --> 02:05:10,000
The Tigers are taking any little bit of mystery that might have remained

1841
02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:15,000
in this ball game out. It's going to be Wilcox now.

1842
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:18,000
A big story for the last two innings. Here comes Laroussot.

1843
02:05:18,000 --> 02:05:22,000
That may be it for Guzman who has just surrendered his first run tonight.

1844
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:26,000
And the Bluebirds are on Tony's back again.

1845
02:05:26,000 --> 02:05:31,000
That's it for Jerry Guzman. He leaves having given up a run earned on two hits.

1846
02:05:31,000 --> 02:05:33,000
Tigers now with five runs, 12 hits in the ball game.

1847
02:05:33,000 --> 02:05:38,000
And Steve Bure, a right-hander who won 12 ball games for the World Champion Cardinals last year

1848
02:05:38,000 --> 02:05:43,000
and was acquired with the White Sox as payment for the loss of Steve Kemp

1849
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:49,000
in the free agent re-entry draft, is coming on to get his first assignment

1850
02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:52,000
as a member of the White Sox since the regular season began.

1851
02:05:52,000 --> 02:05:55,000
We'll be back in just a moment.

1852
02:05:55,000 --> 02:06:01,000
Central Tire keeps you on the road. Central Tire has brand names you know.

1853
02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:05,000
While the team is changing pitchers, think about changing to new General Tires for your car.

1854
02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:10,000
Central Tire in Chicago and Cicero, your local General Tire store, has quality General Tires

1855
02:06:10,000 --> 02:06:13,000
including the top of the line dual steel three with gin seal sealant

1856
02:06:13,000 --> 02:06:15,000
to the popular price to Marist spread.

1857
02:06:15,000 --> 02:06:19,000
Central Tire also carries tires for light trucks, vans, recreational vehicles and more.

1858
02:06:19,000 --> 02:06:22,000
Check on your tires. They may need some relief too.

1859
02:06:22,000 --> 02:06:25,000
Stop in at Central Tire today and see the complete lines of Generals.

1860
02:06:25,000 --> 02:06:29,000
Quality, choice, price. General Tire has a tire for you.

1861
02:06:29,000 --> 02:06:35,000
Central Tire has a price for you. Central Tire's there with follow through.

1862
02:06:35,000 --> 02:06:42,000
We'll get your car with the best deal in town. At Central Tire we're always around.

1863
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:48,000
Central Tire, we're always around. Central Tire.

1864
02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:54,000
Central Tire with four General Tire locations including 18th and Indiana and 12040 South Doty in Chicago.

1865
02:06:54,000 --> 02:07:05,000
You can talk to White Sox owner Eddie Einhorn Sunday morning at 10 exclusively on WMAQ.

1866
02:07:05,000 --> 02:07:13,000
Dave Bureau is making his first appearance for the White Sox in the 83 season forever.

1867
02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:17,000
He's six foot two, a right-hander with 190 pounds.

1868
02:07:17,000 --> 02:07:20,000
He's the same size as Joe Toyo, 12 and 11.

1869
02:07:20,000 --> 02:07:28,000
He had the earned run out with a 4.05. He got in 35 ball games last year.

1870
02:07:28,000 --> 02:07:31,000
That's seven complete games. Pitched 184 headings.

1871
02:07:31,000 --> 02:07:36,000
He gave up 196 hits, walked 80 batters, took out 84.

1872
02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:40,000
I'm sure he'd much rather come in at a ball game as that.

1873
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:46,000
The guy, as Wilcox says, with the hits tonight, he hasn't given up any hits.

1874
02:07:46,000 --> 02:07:51,000
As we've said a hundred times, I guess, he's pitching a perfect ball game.

1875
02:07:51,000 --> 02:07:55,000
So he's just going to come in and try to hold him here and hope that the White Sox can get something started.

1876
02:07:55,000 --> 02:07:58,000
They trail by five now. It's five to nothing for the Tigers.

1877
02:07:58,000 --> 02:08:03,000
The Tigers come on with a barrage of hits. They are a good-hitting ball club.

1878
02:08:03,000 --> 02:08:08,000
They've scored a lot of runs just about all year except a time or so.

1879
02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:09,000
Good-hitting ball club.

1880
02:08:09,000 --> 02:08:13,000
They're 28 years of age, a native of New Orleans.

1881
02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:16,000
That makes his home in Metairie.

1882
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:19,000
Just married.

1883
02:08:19,000 --> 02:08:20,000
Over the winter.

1884
02:08:20,000 --> 02:08:23,000
He's 29 and 38. His big league career.

1885
02:08:23,000 --> 02:08:28,000
He came up with a pod race late in 78 for the Cardinals last year's best year.

1886
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:34,000
Well, he's going to face Chet Lemon, who is single, twice knocked in two runs tonight.

1887
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:36,000
Chet is two for three against his old teammates.

1888
02:08:36,000 --> 02:08:41,000
He's batting here with a runner at second and two out.

1889
02:08:41,000 --> 02:08:43,000
Vera delivers up and in the lemon.

1890
02:08:43,000 --> 02:08:44,000
Ball one.

1891
02:08:44,000 --> 02:08:52,000
Steve did not have a good spring, and the Sox really were in a quandary as to what to do with him when Brit Burns went down with that mysterious virus.

1892
02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:57,000
The virus in his left shoulder, the final week of spring training, and so they kept Vera on the roster.

1893
02:08:57,000 --> 02:09:00,000
Otherwise, they were going to have to release him as a free agent.

1894
02:09:00,000 --> 02:09:02,000
Take their chances on somebody else claiming it.

1895
02:09:02,000 --> 02:09:04,000
There's a fastball strike.

1896
02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:09,000
He got into Whitey's doghouse late last year, did not pitch in the playoffs nor the World Series.

1897
02:09:09,000 --> 02:09:12,000
And everyone was wondering what happened to Vera, the fifth starter.

1898
02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:17,000
It was so very effective in the middle portions of the season for the Cardinals.

1899
02:09:17,000 --> 02:09:18,000
There's a slider and a beauty.

1900
02:09:18,000 --> 02:09:25,000
There's a sharp breaking curve that had Lemon rocking back and bent on his heels, and the count is one and two.

1901
02:09:25,000 --> 02:09:26,000
Vera was hit hard during the spring.

1902
02:09:26,000 --> 02:09:31,000
In fact, he even gave up a two-run homer and came against the Bulls of South Florida.

1903
02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:37,000
That was his final spring outing.

1904
02:09:37,000 --> 02:09:38,000
Down the stretch here is the one-two pitch.

1905
02:09:38,000 --> 02:09:42,000
Dounced in, gets away from fifth, and the runner goes to third.

1906
02:09:42,000 --> 02:09:47,000
That'll be a wild pitch as Vera snapped that one off into the dirt.

1907
02:09:47,000 --> 02:09:51,000
So Wilson advances to third with two out.

1908
02:09:51,000 --> 02:09:57,000
They're uncharged to Guzman, and of course if Lemon would drive in his third run of the ballgame, that too would be charged to Jerry.

1909
02:09:57,000 --> 02:09:59,000
He worked an inning in the third.

1910
02:09:59,000 --> 02:10:00,000
Gave up two hits.

1911
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:04,000
So far one run, he struck out one.

1912
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:05,000
We're in the eighth, five-nothing.

1913
02:10:05,000 --> 02:10:10,000
It's been all Detroit and Milton Wilcox here tonight with a lot of help from his friends.

1914
02:10:10,000 --> 02:10:17,000
Basically Lance Parrish and Chet Levin, the guy at the plate.

1915
02:10:17,000 --> 02:10:19,000
Vera looking in to get the side.

1916
02:10:19,000 --> 02:10:20,000
Two and two to count.

1917
02:10:20,000 --> 02:10:22,000
The right-hander working out of the stretch.

1918
02:10:22,000 --> 02:10:23,000
Swung on.

1919
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:25,000
One-hop liner knocked down by Bernazard.

1920
02:10:25,000 --> 02:10:26,000
Picks it up quick for the first.

1921
02:10:26,000 --> 02:10:29,000
Head first, I have saved, but first to run scores.

1922
02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:31,000
Chet's third hit at third RBI of the game.

1923
02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:35,000
The ball hit it out of Bernazard's glove as he tried to backhand it.

1924
02:10:35,000 --> 02:10:38,000
By the time he picked it up, he couldn't get much on the throw.

1925
02:10:38,000 --> 02:10:41,000
Bernazard was going away from first base when he knocked that one down.

1926
02:10:41,000 --> 02:10:42,000
It was a hard hit.

1927
02:10:42,000 --> 02:10:45,000
Smashed down just to his right.

1928
02:10:45,000 --> 02:10:48,000
So he had to go over to the right, going away from first base.

1929
02:10:48,000 --> 02:10:50,000
Couldn't get much on the throw.

1930
02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:52,000
Of course, Levin is not the slowest man in the league.

1931
02:10:52,000 --> 02:10:55,000
He dove head first in the first base.

1932
02:10:55,000 --> 02:11:00,000
It's one of the few times he's been safe on that maneuver.

1933
02:11:00,000 --> 02:11:04,000
That run charged to Kuzma.

1934
02:11:04,000 --> 02:11:06,000
Runner at first with two outs, six-nothing Tigers.

1935
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:08,000
They've had three two-run innings tonight.

1936
02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:11,000
They second, the sixth, and here in the eighth.

1937
02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:12,000
The pitch is a bit low.

1938
02:11:12,000 --> 02:11:14,000
Ball one to Rick Leach, who is single and three trips.

1939
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:17,000
He's also bounced a second and struck out.

1940
02:11:17,000 --> 02:11:20,000
They say you have a much better chance by continuing to run.

1941
02:11:20,000 --> 02:11:23,000
You lose at least a full step by sliding in head first.

1942
02:11:23,000 --> 02:11:27,000
They tried to tell Chet that about over a five-year period.

1943
02:11:27,000 --> 02:11:30,000
Which is high ball two.

1944
02:11:30,000 --> 02:11:31,000
13 hits now for the Tigers.

1945
02:11:31,000 --> 02:11:32,000
He was right one time.

1946
02:11:32,000 --> 02:11:36,000
So that doesn't make it unanimous, I guess.

1947
02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:37,000
Well, I'm not sure he was right.

1948
02:11:37,000 --> 02:11:40,000
He beat the play, but maybe he'd have been already by the bag.

1949
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:43,000
I think he would have, Joe.

1950
02:11:43,000 --> 02:11:45,000
You're working out of the stretch.

1951
02:11:45,000 --> 02:11:49,000
The 2-0 delivery to Leach swung on high, pop up left side.

1952
02:11:49,000 --> 02:11:50,000
Vance Law at third base.

1953
02:11:50,000 --> 02:11:52,000
Bras is back in the fair-tip.

1954
02:11:52,000 --> 02:11:54,000
He takes it for the third out.

1955
02:11:54,000 --> 02:11:56,000
The Tigers pad their lead once again.

1956
02:11:56,000 --> 02:11:58,000
Another two goes on the board for Detroit.

1957
02:11:58,000 --> 02:12:00,000
Two runs on three hits.

1958
02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:02,000
We go to the bottom of the eighth.

1959
02:12:02,000 --> 02:12:03,000
Wilcox with a perfect game.

1960
02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:30,000
The Tigers lead it six to nothing.

1961
02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:41,000
Next we go to the fair in our second half.

1962
02:12:41,000 --> 02:12:46,000
Sh Lo Grandma and Dar interpreted.

1963
02:12:46,000 --> 02:12:59,000
They're going to show us that they come easy at the end.

1964
02:12:59,000 --> 02:13:05,000
I love love love

1965
02:13:05,000 --> 02:13:06,800
Anheuser-Busch, St. Louis.

1966
02:13:06,800 --> 02:13:11,000
If you'd like to provide added privacy and protection around your yard or garden

1967
02:13:11,000 --> 02:13:15,200
without overstepping your budget, stop by a True Value hardware store.

1968
02:13:15,200 --> 02:13:21,000
Hi, Pat Summerall to say their quality Gilbert & Bennett welded fencing is ideal for dividing property lines

1969
02:13:21,000 --> 02:13:25,300
and it's just $16.99 for a 36 inch by 50 foot roll.

1970
02:13:25,300 --> 02:13:29,500
And keep small animals out of your garden with Gilbert & Bennett Rabbit Guard Fencing.

1971
02:13:29,500 --> 02:13:36,200
A 28 inch by 50 foot roll is now just $13.99 at participating True Value hardware stores and home centers.

1972
02:13:36,200 --> 02:13:41,600
Pick up your free Energy Waste Watchers catalog filled with energy saving tips and valuable True Value coupons.

1973
02:13:41,600 --> 02:13:47,700
It's available at participating True Value hardware stores and home centers or any Commonwealth Edison office.

1974
02:13:47,700 --> 02:13:52,200
Joe McConnell along with early wind here at Chile Comiskey Park.

1975
02:13:52,200 --> 02:13:58,400
But it certainly hasn't been too cold for right-hander Milt Wilcox who has retired 21 consecutive batters.

1976
02:13:58,400 --> 02:14:02,000
It has a 6 to nothing lead to work with as we head to the bottom of the 8th.

1977
02:14:02,000 --> 02:14:13,000
Luzinski, Kittle and Walker in that order. Luzinski has found out to the catcher Parrish and struck out on a change of curve.

1978
02:14:13,000 --> 02:14:25,400
Wilcox has struck out 6. 5 of them coming in the 5th and 6th innings.

1979
02:14:25,400 --> 02:14:29,000
Milton Edward Wilcox into the line up here is the pitch.

1980
02:14:29,000 --> 02:14:35,800
A strike at the knees. Here's a note, Gus a year ago on his birthday the 20th of April he had a one hit shutout against the Royals.

1981
02:14:35,800 --> 02:14:43,200
Well tonight he's no hitting the White Sox through 7. A couple of days in advance of his birthday. 5 to be exact.

1982
02:14:43,200 --> 02:14:46,400
Luzinski out in front of off-strikes. Two strikes to count.

1983
02:14:46,400 --> 02:14:52,300
Well I'll tell you one thing, you're going to see everything he's got for the rest of this ball game unless something happens.

1984
02:14:52,300 --> 02:14:55,400
Until something happens. He's really going to work on the batter.

1985
02:14:55,400 --> 02:14:59,400
Oh, two-pitch to Luzinski. It's a breaking ball a bit wide at the letter.

1986
02:14:59,400 --> 02:15:05,600
One ball and two strikes. You can tell by looking at him he's really pumped up too.

1987
02:15:05,600 --> 02:15:12,400
Wilcox rocking back and forth. Last steps into the line up. One-two pitch to Luzinski. Curve just a bit low.

1988
02:15:12,400 --> 02:15:17,200
That snake just dipped below the knee. Ball two and strike two.

1989
02:15:17,200 --> 02:15:21,000
Fans are booing now. I think the fans that are here, we've got a good crowd on the end.

1990
02:15:21,000 --> 02:15:25,800
Well as long as the White Sox are going to lose they might as well see a bit of history.

1991
02:15:25,800 --> 02:15:30,800
This will be the headline game tomorrow. Make no mistake about it. One way or the other.

1992
02:15:30,800 --> 02:15:35,800
Wilcox in the two-two pitch on the way to Luzinski. Checks, wait, strike, three, go! He's out of there!

1993
02:15:35,800 --> 02:15:39,800
That's seven strikeouts for Wilcox at twenty-two minute a-row gone.

1994
02:15:39,800 --> 02:15:46,800
Yeah, he's making good pitches. He come in there with that breaking pitch that time to the ball.

1995
02:15:46,800 --> 02:15:51,800
Here's Kittle. He has struck out twice tonight.

1996
02:15:51,800 --> 02:15:58,800
His string of three games with home runs and RBI's in jeopardy. Needless to say,

1997
02:15:58,800 --> 02:16:03,800
White Sox have not had a base runner. Wilcox has not pitched out of the stretch tonight.

1998
02:16:03,800 --> 02:16:09,800
And we got one gone on the eighth.

1999
02:16:09,800 --> 02:16:14,800
Kittle waits at the plate. Here's the pitch for the right-hander. Swung on, high-fly ball.

2000
02:16:14,800 --> 02:16:18,800
Medium deep right center. Giving ground as Chet Lemon waving everybody away. He's got it!

2001
02:16:18,800 --> 02:16:23,800
Five steps in front of the warning track. Got him deep right center. And there's two gone.

2002
02:16:23,800 --> 02:16:32,800
Twenty-three in a row now. That is only the second ball hit to the outfield tonight.

2003
02:16:32,800 --> 02:16:41,800
Now here's Greg Walker. He has bounced a third and popped up to the first baseman leech on a broken bat blooper the last time up.

2004
02:16:41,800 --> 02:16:46,800
I got a feeling this might be the guy. I said earlier I thought Vesla was going to break it up,

2005
02:16:46,800 --> 02:16:50,800
but he fooled him badly with a change of breaking ball that struck him out.

2006
02:16:50,800 --> 02:16:55,800
Here's Walker. One hit all year. He'll have an advance over to tonight.

2007
02:16:55,800 --> 02:16:59,800
Wilcox delivers. Fast ball high and away. Ball one to Greg Walker.

2008
02:16:59,800 --> 02:17:07,800
Well, Walker is overdue and he's capable, needless to say, Wilcox is a little bit overdue to get a hit against him.

2009
02:17:07,800 --> 02:17:10,800
However, he's really pumping. You can tell he knows he's got it.

2010
02:17:10,800 --> 02:17:16,800
The pitch to Walker. A slider in there. A high slider into the inside corner for a call strike. What a one.

2011
02:17:16,800 --> 02:17:21,800
And you're getting to the point now where you're sure that umpire is not going to take anything away from him.

2012
02:17:21,800 --> 02:17:27,800
The umpire is going to try to call, make good calls all the way. He's not going to give him a lot, I don't think.

2013
02:17:27,800 --> 02:17:33,800
Here's the pitch Walker takes just off the corner at the knee. Just a bit low. Ball two and strike one.

2014
02:17:33,800 --> 02:17:40,800
Because it's too far away right now. You've still got four out. Anything can happen in one inning.

2015
02:17:40,800 --> 02:17:47,800
Two gone here in the bottom of the eighth. Wilcox flirting with the history of the baseball book.

2016
02:17:47,800 --> 02:18:01,800
Now the right hander into the wind up here is the 2-1 pitch. Walker swings and misses on a water high fastball. 2-2.

2017
02:18:01,800 --> 02:18:10,800
Wilcox, a member of the Cubs back in 75. They thought he was washed up then. But he's put five fine years together.

2018
02:18:10,800 --> 02:18:16,800
A very consistent fourth, fifth starter for the Tigers. Two and two to count. Walker waiting at the plate.

2019
02:18:16,800 --> 02:18:22,800
Wilcox into the line up. Here's the 2-2 pitch. Fastball. Strike free call. He's got it going through eight.

2020
02:18:22,800 --> 02:18:27,800
Eight strikeouts for Wilcox on a call. Third strike. Fastball knee high. Inside corner.

2021
02:18:27,800 --> 02:18:33,800
That 24-minute-a-row has gone down here at Comiskey Park tonight. At the end of eight, Detroit 6 to the White Sox.

2022
02:18:33,800 --> 02:18:38,800
Nothing, nothing, nothing. And in the game it's Jimmy Pearsall on WMAQ.

2023
02:18:38,800 --> 02:18:44,800
When you make a mortgage payment, you add to the equity in your home. Over the years, inflation adds to its value too.

2024
02:18:44,800 --> 02:18:48,800
Now you can cash in on that investment without selling your home.

2025
02:18:48,800 --> 02:18:55,800
Come into General Finance and learn how a home equity loan can provide five, fifteen, twenty thousand dollars or even more

2026
02:18:55,800 --> 02:18:59,800
for a daughter's wedding, a vacation, or for remodeling. Whatever you want.

2027
02:18:59,800 --> 02:19:04,800
A General Finance home equity loan. It's on the house. The weight prices are going up.

2028
02:19:04,800 --> 02:19:10,800
It's often smarter to make a major purchase this year than to buy at next year's higher prices.

2029
02:19:10,800 --> 02:19:14,800
That's why a General Finance consumer loan might make a lot of sense for you.

2030
02:19:14,800 --> 02:19:22,800
We'll help you apply for a consumer loan. We'll help you get the cash you need to beat rising prices by buying now instead of waiting.

2031
02:19:22,800 --> 02:19:26,800
A General Finance consumer loan. A very smart way to shop.

2032
02:19:26,800 --> 02:19:31,800
Call General Finance for a large home equity loan up to fifty thousand dollars or a smaller consumer loan.

2033
02:19:31,800 --> 02:19:34,800
See the white pages for the office nearest you.

2034
02:19:34,800 --> 02:19:40,800
It's baseball time and time for you to reserve your home box seat now on a new American quality Zenith TV.

2035

American ingenuity goes into every Zenith color receiver from 13 to 17 and 19 inch portables to beautiful 23 and 25 inch consoles.

2037
02:19:57,800 --> 02:20:00,800
Zenith, the first choice in millions of American homes.

2038
02:20:00,800 --> 02:20:04,800
Zenith, the quality goes in before the name goes on.

2039
02:20:04,800 --> 02:20:10,800
And all instant request music hour follows tonight's game and Jimmy Pearsall right here on 67 WMAQ.

2040
02:20:10,800 --> 02:20:21,800
Joe Mercado and Gus Wendt as we go to the ninth here in Chicago.

2041
02:20:21,800 --> 02:20:26,800
The Tigers lead at six to nothing but the story is Milt Wilcox three outs away from a perfect game.

2042
02:20:26,800 --> 02:20:30,800
Here's Trammell leading off against Steve Murad. He takes a letter high fastball for a call strike.

2043
02:20:30,800 --> 02:20:32,800
Trammell is single and three trips.

2044
02:20:32,800 --> 02:20:34,800
He'll be followed by the top of the Tiger order.

2045
02:20:34,800 --> 02:20:41,800
What a cure in Brooklyn. Bill Wilcox has thrown just 96 pitches through eight innings and struck out eight.

2046
02:20:41,800 --> 02:20:51,800
There's a looper hit down the right field line drifting foul Walker a long run can't reach it up against the type role advances into the lower seats.

2047
02:20:51,800 --> 02:20:56,800
So it's all to not a travel leading off the night.

2048
02:20:56,800 --> 02:21:01,800
They're going to have a pool feed of course with Wilcox if he gets the no hitter tonight.

2049
02:21:01,800 --> 02:21:12,800
We will probably get all probability try to get Lance Parrish because we're set up in the clubhouse now.

2050
02:21:12,800 --> 02:21:16,800
There's a pitch down low ball one and two to count.

2051
02:21:16,800 --> 02:21:22,800
If somebody breaks up the no hit bet for the White Sox tonight then we'll probably try to talk to him as well.

2052
02:21:22,800 --> 02:21:26,800
So stay tuned to our postgame show tonight.

2053
02:21:26,800 --> 02:21:31,800
There is a breaking ball and it's just a bit high.

2054
02:21:31,800 --> 02:21:40,800
Brickman was all set to ring up Trammell and then for some reason didn't throw the right arm to the count.

2055
02:21:40,800 --> 02:21:49,800
During the wind up the two to pitch swung on smashed up the middle base hit in the center field hit number 14 for the Tigers and Trammell has two hits tonight.

2056
02:21:49,800 --> 02:21:52,800
Let's pause right now to allow our stations to identify themselves.

2057
02:21:52,800 --> 02:21:55,800
You're listening to baseball on the Chicago White Sox radio network.

2058
02:21:55,800 --> 02:22:02,800
You can wake up tomorrow morning with Jim Tyler right here to keep you company on 67 WMAQ Chicago.

2059
02:22:02,800 --> 02:22:06,800
Right now it's 10 o'clock.

2060
02:22:06,800 --> 02:22:12,800
Hit number two off Muir and his first ever appearance for the White Sox.

2061
02:22:12,800 --> 02:22:16,800
Here's Lou Whitaker one for four with a little tagger lead off batter.

2062
02:22:16,800 --> 02:22:19,800
Single in the fifth inning and was out attempting to steal.

2063
02:22:19,800 --> 02:22:24,800
Muir to the belt here's the pitch to Whitaker outside of all ball one.

2064
02:22:24,800 --> 02:22:28,800
Gus we have netted hits on our side of the ledger but the Tigers haven't come up short tonight.

2065
02:22:28,800 --> 02:22:30,800
They've found it at 14 of them.

2066
02:22:30,800 --> 02:22:32,800
That's a lot of hits in one ballgame.

2067
02:22:32,800 --> 02:22:36,800
We've seen quite a few here lately.

2068
02:22:36,800 --> 02:22:37,800
Stretched by Muir.

2069
02:22:37,800 --> 02:22:41,800
Here's the pitch Whitaker shot ground ball on the whole backhanded by Dibsinski on the second for one.

2070
02:22:41,800 --> 02:22:46,800
That's all I get the relay is much too late to get the force.

2071
02:22:46,800 --> 02:22:50,800
Trying to figure out.

2072
02:22:50,800 --> 02:22:55,800
With the bottom three hitters in the lineup coming up in the bottom of this inning.

2073
02:22:55,800 --> 02:23:00,800
Wilcox will face Harald and Fisk leading off.

2074
02:23:00,800 --> 02:23:02,800
Well I'm sure you're going to say at least two pitchers.

2075
02:23:02,800 --> 02:23:03,800
Yeah one at least two.

2076
02:23:03,800 --> 02:23:06,800
I think Squires might be Tony's choice.

2077
02:23:06,800 --> 02:23:07,800
Good contact man.

2078
02:23:07,800 --> 02:23:12,800
The bat for Vance Law and then Harrison would probably pitch it for Dibsinski.

2079
02:23:12,800 --> 02:23:19,800
Well you have to go right down the line because many many times there's been more than six runs scored in one inning.

2080
02:23:19,800 --> 02:23:24,800
Pitch is high a fastball to Tommy Brookins who struck out against Kuzmin.

2081
02:23:24,800 --> 02:23:29,800
In the seventh inning Brookins batted for Howard Johnson who was one for three as the starter at third base.

2082
02:23:29,800 --> 02:23:33,800
Trying to figure out why Steve Murik comes straight overhand it nearly all the time.

2083
02:23:33,800 --> 02:23:35,800
Maybe it's to get the seeker a lot.

2084
02:23:35,800 --> 02:23:40,800
The ground ball passed him out out to short Dibsinski shovels the bird as hard for one over the first.

2085
02:23:40,800 --> 02:23:56,800
And with two gone that'll bring up Herndon with a runner aboard.

2086
02:23:56,800 --> 02:23:58,800
To gone here in the top of the ninth.

2087
02:23:58,800 --> 02:24:05,800
Herndon has doubled and four trips scored one of the two runs in the eighth inning against the starter tonight he struck out three straight times.

2088
02:24:05,800 --> 02:24:13,800
The Rocks have had two chances at double plays tonight but both times the ball hits off not hit hard enough really.

2089
02:24:13,800 --> 02:24:16,800
Yankees and the Blue Jays are tied at five in the ninth in New York.

2090
02:24:16,800 --> 02:24:21,800
That was a slight brain delay there in the early middle innings.

2091
02:24:21,800 --> 02:24:24,800
Here's Herndon with two out.

2092
02:24:24,800 --> 02:24:27,800
Brookins at first in the tagger night.

2093
02:24:27,800 --> 02:24:37,800
The pitch to Herndon into the dirt block by a punch.

2094
02:24:37,800 --> 02:24:41,800
You know Hoyt through 96 pitches in sixth to third innings.

2095
02:24:41,800 --> 02:24:44,800
Wilcox has thrown 96 pitches in eight perfect innings against the White Sox.

2096
02:24:44,800 --> 02:24:46,800
That's how good he has been.

2097
02:24:46,800 --> 02:24:47,800
He has not walked a better.

2098
02:24:47,800 --> 02:24:51,800
Nobody has reached.

2099
02:24:51,800 --> 02:25:05,800
Here's the pitch now and a strike at the knees Larry Herndon one ball and one strike.

2100
02:25:05,800 --> 02:25:11,800
One and one the count two minutes after 10 here in the Windy City a cold Chicago land tonight.

2101
02:25:11,800 --> 02:25:15,800
The pitch to Herndon it's a bit low ball to strike one.

2102
02:25:15,800 --> 02:25:27,800
Anytime you have a game like this is going to be a low number of pitches made but I've seen hits and ball games with well Tommy John once made 76 pitches in Baltimore.

2103
02:25:27,800 --> 02:25:30,800
Pitch nine innings and he gave up his head.

2104
02:25:30,800 --> 02:25:34,800
Mr. Herndon is field foul upstairs on the first base side.

2105
02:25:34,800 --> 02:25:36,800
The ball's two strikes.

2106
02:25:36,800 --> 02:25:43,800
They're underway at the second inning out the kingdom in Seattle the A's the Mariners no score.

2107
02:25:43,800 --> 02:25:52,800
Milwaukee's opener was spoiled by Larry Gerard the Royals today four to three before more than fifty four thousand at County Stadium Cleveland and Baltimore Post.

2108
02:25:52,800 --> 02:25:54,800
They'll make it up with a doubleheader tomorrow.

2109
02:25:54,800 --> 02:26:00,800
Jim Palmer will get his first start of the year tomorrow.

2110
02:26:00,800 --> 02:26:01,800
Angels lead by six at the Met.

2111
02:26:01,800 --> 02:26:03,800
Here's the pitch bounces in gets away from this.

2112
02:26:03,800 --> 02:26:08,800
That'll be another wild pitch by Vera has second.

2113
02:26:08,800 --> 02:26:14,800
The second base.

2114
02:26:14,800 --> 02:26:20,800
Vera has uncorked two wild pitches here in an inning and a third this first appearance of the year.

2115
02:26:20,800 --> 02:26:24,800
Now with two out Brookings in scoring position second and a count of three and two to Larry Herndon.

2116
02:26:24,800 --> 02:26:27,800
We have had a walk tonight.

2117
02:26:27,800 --> 02:26:29,800
Either side.

2118
02:26:29,800 --> 02:26:39,800
A lot of strikeouts eight for Wilcox six for one for Kuzma a total of fifteen.

2119
02:26:39,800 --> 02:26:40,800
Herndon has fan three times.

2120
02:26:40,800 --> 02:26:43,800
He's waiting.

2121
02:26:43,800 --> 02:26:48,800
Europe looks and gets a sign hung out by Carlton Fisk right hander checks the runner at second.

2122
02:26:48,800 --> 02:26:55,800
Here's the payoff pitch to her and then he pops it foul again coming back and it's off the window of the press box to our right.

2123
02:26:55,800 --> 02:27:07,800
The Rangers are housed here in the upper deck still free and to.

2124
02:27:07,800 --> 02:27:11,800
Red Sox beat the Rangers at Fenway today four to one.

2125
02:27:11,800 --> 02:27:16,800
Should catch up on all the rest of the American League activity today.

2126
02:27:16,800 --> 02:27:23,800
Now the stretch by right hander Steve Vera the pitch is swung on and popped up in the right field going out as Berners aren't coming on Harold Bates.

2127
02:27:23,800 --> 02:27:25,800
He's got it.

2128
02:27:25,800 --> 02:27:27,800
And we got to the bottom of the night.

2129
02:27:27,800 --> 02:27:29,800
One hit one tiger left bottom of the night.

2130
02:27:29,800 --> 02:27:31,800
Three to go.

2131
02:27:31,800 --> 02:27:35,800
A perfect game so far for Wilcox as Detroit leads it going into the home half of the night.

2132
02:27:35,800 --> 02:27:37,800
Six to nothing.

2133
02:27:37,800 --> 02:28:01,800
To the high.

2134
02:28:01,800 --> 02:28:04,800
Now you're cold from sight.

2135
02:28:04,800 --> 02:28:07,800
You're going for that rich smooth taste.

2136
02:28:07,800 --> 02:28:11,800
The taste of Michelob Light.

2137
02:28:11,800 --> 02:28:16,800
Yeah, go ahead, pour yourself a cool Michelob Light.

2138
02:28:16,800 --> 02:28:21,800
Ah, just compare that rich smooth taste to any beer you like.

2139
02:28:21,800 --> 02:28:25,800
With one taste, you'll know why. It's Michelob Light.

2140
02:28:25,800 --> 02:28:31,800
Make a love light for the winner.

2141
02:28:31,800 --> 02:28:34,800
Make a love light.

2142
02:28:34,800 --> 02:28:36,800
Anheuser-Busch, St. Louis, Missouri.

2143
02:28:36,800 --> 02:28:38,800
You've made a big investment in your business.

2144
02:28:38,800 --> 02:28:39,800

Make a small investment in the green pages of the Bell System Yellow Pages.

2146

The green pages section of the neighborhood and suburban directories is the place people turn to for all kinds of vital information.

2147
02:28:49,800 --> 02:28:52,800
Each page has just one ad, so your message is sure to get noticed.

2148
02:28:52,800 --> 02:29:00,800

2149
02:29:00,800 --> 02:29:07,800

Joe McConnell and early win, all set to bring you the final inning, the final half inning here at Kavisky Park.

2151
02:29:25,800 --> 02:29:27,800
Possible history in the making.

2152
02:29:27,800 --> 02:29:36,800
Whiteheader Milt Wilcox, five days shy of his 33rd birthday, has retired 24 consecutive White Sox banners tonight, free to go for a perfect game.

2153
02:29:36,800 --> 02:29:38,800
He's got a six-nothing lead.

2154
02:29:38,800 --> 02:29:41,800
Carlton Fisk, one of two banners to hit the ball out of the infield tonight.

2155
02:29:41,800 --> 02:29:43,800
A fly ball to the left and a strikeout.

2156
02:29:43,800 --> 02:29:46,800
It is two previous tips to the plate tonight.

2157
02:29:46,800 --> 02:29:48,800
Wilcox has struck out eight. He has walked nobody.

2158
02:29:48,800 --> 02:29:56,800
In fact, he's only gone to ball three, a total of twice tonight, both on a full count.

2159
02:29:56,800 --> 02:29:58,800
Fisk waiting before he steps in.

2160
02:29:58,800 --> 02:30:02,800
A battle of nerves now.

2161
02:30:02,800 --> 02:30:05,800
Wilcox looking in to get the side.

2162
02:30:05,800 --> 02:30:08,800
The right-hander into the wind appears the first pitch at the bottom of the night.

2163
02:30:08,800 --> 02:30:12,800
Swung on, fly ball left field, coming over and in is heard and he's waiting.

2164
02:30:12,800 --> 02:30:14,800
He's got it, two more to go.

2165
02:30:14,800 --> 02:30:23,800
That's 25 in a row, retired by Milt Edward Wilcox.

2166
02:30:23,800 --> 02:30:30,800
You know, I was watching him on the monitor sitting on the bench and he was sitting there wiping out, face with a towel,

2167
02:30:30,800 --> 02:30:37,800
keep dry all sitting by the pitching coach, as expected, as expected, Mike Squires batting for Vance Law,

2168
02:30:37,800 --> 02:30:39,800
who bounced out and struck out on two trips tonight.

2169
02:30:39,800 --> 02:30:41,800
Squires did not have a hit all year.

2170
02:30:41,800 --> 02:30:45,800
Wouldn't it be ironic if he's the guy that breaks it up with one out of the night?

2171
02:30:45,800 --> 02:30:49,800
And you can tell that Wilcox is just chomping at the bit to get back on the mound.

2172
02:30:49,800 --> 02:30:53,800
Squires, 0 for 6 this year. 0 for 2 in pinch-hitting roles.

2173
02:30:53,800 --> 02:30:55,800
He started one ballgame in Detroit.

2174
02:30:55,800 --> 02:30:57,800
He's a tough contact hitter, a left-handed batter.

2175
02:30:57,800 --> 02:30:59,800
They play him just a little bit left to center.

2176
02:30:59,800 --> 02:31:02,800
The infield around to the right, maybe three steps.

2177
02:31:02,800 --> 02:31:05,800
Wilcox into the line-up. Here's the pitch to Squires.

2178
02:31:05,800 --> 02:31:07,800
A sicker is a bit low on inside ball one.

2179
02:31:07,800 --> 02:31:13,800
And the fans here, 19,483 of them, here to watch the ballgame of the first fireworks display of the year,

2180
02:31:13,800 --> 02:31:17,800
are all pulling for Wilcox now. They want to be a part of history.

2181
02:31:20,800 --> 02:31:22,800
Ball on the count to Mike Squires.

2182
02:31:22,800 --> 02:31:24,800
Wilcox into the line-up. Here's the pitch.

2183
02:31:24,800 --> 02:31:27,800
Spanky, check, swing, loop, or foul under the upper deck in the third base side.

2184
02:31:27,800 --> 02:31:29,800
A ball and a strike.

2185
02:31:30,800 --> 02:31:33,800
Wilcox has never been sharper, at least in this reporter's opinion.

2186
02:31:33,800 --> 02:31:39,800
He's mixed up his off-speed breaking ball, high-fast ball, slider, curve.

2187
02:31:39,800 --> 02:31:43,800
He has had superb control and command over all of his pitches today.

2188
02:31:44,800 --> 02:31:47,800
He tugs on the bill of his cap, steps up on the pitching rubber.

2189
02:31:47,800 --> 02:31:49,800
One ball and one strike to Mike Squires.

2190
02:31:49,800 --> 02:31:52,800
25 men up, 25 men down.

2191
02:31:52,800 --> 02:31:56,800
Wilcox takes a deep, cool breath of fresh air here in the Chicago.

2192
02:31:56,800 --> 02:31:59,800
A right-hander into the line-up. Here's the pitch.

2193
02:31:59,800 --> 02:32:02,800
Slug on and foul back right in front of us into the upper deck.

2194
02:32:02,800 --> 02:32:04,800
One and two down to Squires.

2195
02:32:04,800 --> 02:32:06,800
Jerry Herston already on deck.

2196
02:32:13,800 --> 02:32:16,800
Another irony about Squires, if he should be the guy to break it up,

2197
02:32:16,800 --> 02:32:19,800
if anybody does, Squires is a native of Michigan.

2198
02:32:20,800 --> 02:32:24,800
Born, raised, went to Western Michigan, that is hometown of Kalamazoo.

2199
02:32:24,800 --> 02:32:28,800
Well, Mike is just trying to make contact. He's not swinging hard.

2200
02:32:28,800 --> 02:32:29,800
He's going into the ball.

2201
02:32:29,800 --> 02:32:32,800
Here's the one-two pitch outside of all.

2202
02:32:32,800 --> 02:32:34,800
One deep and close, two and two to count.

2203
02:32:36,800 --> 02:32:42,800
Now the fans, this is one of the rare times when the fans are really into the ball game on the side of a visitor.

2204
02:32:43,800 --> 02:32:47,800
Two balls, two strikes to Squires. One out, nobody on, bottom of the ninth.

2205
02:32:47,800 --> 02:32:49,800
Wilcox with a perfect game going. Leading.

2206
02:32:49,800 --> 02:32:54,800
The score really incidental at this point because it's one side and Detroit has a six-nothing edge.

2207
02:32:56,800 --> 02:32:58,800
Wilcox gets the side from his catcher, Lance Perry.

2208
02:32:58,800 --> 02:33:00,800
So right-hander into the line-up. Here's the pitch.

2209
02:33:00,800 --> 02:33:03,800
Outside and high, ball three in the count of four.

2210
02:33:06,800 --> 02:33:08,800
Yeah, you're wondering if they're pulling the umpire for calling out a ball.

2211
02:33:08,800 --> 02:33:11,800
The ball is up above the shoulders on Squires.

2212
02:33:11,800 --> 02:33:15,800
No question about whether it was a ball or not.

2213
02:33:15,800 --> 02:33:19,800
Well, he can't go any farther with Squires. It's three and two.

2214
02:33:20,800 --> 02:33:22,800
Wilcox kicking and scraping around the rubber.

2215
02:33:22,800 --> 02:33:25,800
He's got to be as tight as a mainspring out there.

2216
02:33:28,800 --> 02:33:31,800
He's got the side. The right-hander into the line-up. Here's the payoff pitch.

2217
02:33:32,800 --> 02:33:34,800
Swung on. Ground ball. Head to the first base.

2218
02:33:34,800 --> 02:33:36,800
But Leach, he runs up the line and there's two out of the ninth.

2219
02:33:36,800 --> 02:33:38,800
One more to go.

2220
02:33:38,800 --> 02:33:41,800
Twenty-six up and twenty-six down.

2221
02:33:42,800 --> 02:33:46,800
There have only been a handful of perfect games pitched in Major League history.

2222
02:33:50,800 --> 02:33:55,800
The last guy to do it, ironically enough, was the last guy to pitch a no-hitter in the big leagues.

2223
02:33:55,800 --> 02:33:57,800
Len Barker.

2224
02:33:58,800 --> 02:34:00,800
And Gus was there then. He's there now.

2225
02:34:01,800 --> 02:34:04,800
And here's Jerry Hurston switch hitting out the ball.

2226
02:34:04,800 --> 02:34:07,800
Fitzhitter for Jerry Dibsinski with two gone in the night.

2227
02:34:08,800 --> 02:34:13,800
Yeah, I've seen one already and this one here and both of them have been against me.

2228
02:34:14,800 --> 02:34:16,800
Budding pitched one.

2229
02:34:17,800 --> 02:34:21,800
Charlie Robertson to the White Sox in 1928. Pitched one at Tiger Stadium in Detroit.

2230
02:34:21,800 --> 02:34:26,800
And that was the only perfect game in many years until the World Series and Don Larson.

2231
02:34:26,800 --> 02:34:28,800
There's a smash at the middle.

2232
02:34:28,800 --> 02:34:30,800
Base hit! Jerry Hurston!

2233
02:34:30,800 --> 02:34:35,800
Break's up! Bill Wilcox has been for immortality with two out in the night.

2234
02:34:35,800 --> 02:34:38,800
He had retired twenty-six in a row.

2235
02:34:38,800 --> 02:34:41,800
And Hurston hit the first pitch at the middle, his first hit of the year.

2236
02:34:42,800 --> 02:34:45,800
I kind of thought he might be the man to do it.

2237
02:34:45,800 --> 02:34:48,800
He's a good pitcher. Comes off that bench swinging.

2238
02:34:50,800 --> 02:34:53,800
Well, Wilcox was one man shy.

2239
02:34:53,800 --> 02:34:55,800
It was a clean single, fortunately.

2240
02:34:55,800 --> 02:34:57,800
And he's been a great player.

2241
02:34:57,800 --> 02:35:02,800
And that's a picture of the Jetson's head ball shot out over the second base bag in the center field.

2242
02:35:03,800 --> 02:35:06,800
So, with two out of the night, Hurston breaks up.

2243
02:35:06,800 --> 02:35:08,800
Wilcox is good for a perfect game.

2244
02:35:08,800 --> 02:35:10,800
And that'll bring up Rudy Long.

2245
02:35:11,800 --> 02:35:18,800
And you can see Wilcox. He just kind of, been down forward and threw his heart down towards his feet.

2246
02:35:20,800 --> 02:35:23,800
Out of the stretch for the first time is Wilcox to Rudy Long.

2247
02:35:23,800 --> 02:35:24,800
Bouncer to first.

2248
02:35:24,800 --> 02:35:27,800
Leach has got it. He runs to the bag.

2249
02:35:27,800 --> 02:35:29,800
A one-hit shutout for Milt Wilcox.

2250
02:35:30,800 --> 02:35:32,800
The Tiger dug out empty.

2251
02:35:32,800 --> 02:35:37,800
Hand shakes all around for the veteran right-hander who pitched a one-hitter almost a year ago.

2252
02:35:37,800 --> 02:35:41,800
Five days shy of a year ago on his 32nd birthday against Kansas City.

2253
02:35:41,800 --> 02:35:46,800
Tonight, five days early, he pitches a brilliant one-hit shutout to beat the White Sox.

2254
02:35:46,800 --> 02:35:51,800
Losing a perfect game mid with two out of the night on a base hit by Jerry Hurston.

2255
02:35:51,800 --> 02:35:55,800
Final score as the Tigers take the opener of this three-game series.

2256
02:35:55,800 --> 02:35:57,800
Detroit 6, the White Sox nothing.

2257
02:35:57,800 --> 02:36:02,800
Stay tuned for the postgame show, tonight's game on the Chicago White Sox Radio Network.

2258
02:36:02,800 --> 02:36:06,800
Talk baseball with Pearsall after the game on WMAQ.

2259
02:36:09,800 --> 02:36:12,800
My neighbor Sam is impressed by titles.

2260
02:36:12,800 --> 02:36:18,800
When he found out Miss New Jersey drives a Honda Accord four-door sedan, same as mine,

2261
02:36:18,800 --> 02:36:21,800
he couldn't wait to tell me. But I wasn't surprised.

2262
02:36:21,800 --> 02:36:26,800
After all, I said Miss New Jersey and the Honda Accord have a lot in common.

2263
02:36:26,800 --> 02:36:30,800
They're both beautiful and highly regarded by the competition.

2264
02:36:30,800 --> 02:36:33,800
Yes, but Miss New Jersey drives it, Sam.

2265
02:36:33,800 --> 02:36:36,800
A reigning beauty queen with the same car as you.

2266
02:36:36,800 --> 02:36:41,800
So what, I said, a lot of beautiful people drive Honda Accords?

2267
02:36:41,800 --> 02:36:46,800
It's the best-selling front-wheel drive four-door sedan in the world.

2268
02:36:46,800 --> 02:36:55,800
Four-door sedan in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Oregon, Virginia, and Washington.

2269
02:36:55,800 --> 02:37:01,800
No New Jersey, I said. Nope. New Jersey was a miss.

2270
02:37:07,800 --> 02:37:11,800
Hey, guess who has the highest octane for your car? Texaco, that's who.

2271

Jerry Taft of the American Meteorological Society.

2296
02:39:03,800 --> 02:39:07,800
Well, Chicago's probably one of the toughest cities in the country to forecast for.

2297
02:39:07,800 --> 02:39:11,800
That's why to do the best job possible, you have to have the latest technical equipment.

2298

Now, we have a satellite receiver. It gives us a detailed look from space every 30 minutes.

2299

We've got digital color radar and probably the best computer system in the country.

2300

I don't always get it right, but I want you to know that I've got all the tools to give it my best shot right here on WMAQ.

2301
02:39:30,800 --> 02:39:34,800
Joe McConnell back here at Chicago's Comiskey Park.

2302
02:39:34,800 --> 02:39:40,800
Milt Wilcox, a 32-year-old right-hander due to have a birthday in five days, had a brush with destiny tonight.

2303
02:39:40,800 --> 02:39:44,800
And with us in the victorious Tiger Clubhouse is his catcher, Lance Parrish,

2304
02:39:44,800 --> 02:39:49,800
who provided all the offense the right-hander needed with three hits and RBI and a run score tonight.

2305
02:39:49,800 --> 02:39:53,800
Lance, boy, the adrenaline had to really be pumping in that ninth inning.

2306
02:39:53,800 --> 02:39:55,800
Oh, it was. It was really exciting, let me tell you.

2307
02:39:55,800 --> 02:39:57,800
Have you ever caught a no-hitter in the big leagues before?

2308
02:39:57,800 --> 02:39:59,800
No, I haven't. No, I haven't.

2309
02:39:59,800 --> 02:40:05,800
And I was hoping that I'd get the opportunity tonight, but I guess that's just the way fate has it.

2310
02:40:05,800 --> 02:40:08,800
Well, I'll tell you, he couldn't have pitched a better ball, gave me through only 105 pitches.

2311
02:40:08,800 --> 02:40:12,800
He struck out eight, didn't walk anybody, only went to ball three on three batters.

2312
02:40:12,800 --> 02:40:16,800
What did you talk about in the dugout before you came out to pitch that fateful ninth inning?

2313
02:40:16,800 --> 02:40:21,800
I didn't say anything to him. I was afraid to. I just wanted to let him go through his usual routine

2314
02:40:21,800 --> 02:40:24,800
and get a chance to keep himself relaxed and whatever he needed to do.

2315
02:40:24,800 --> 02:40:29,800
And I just tried to keep it away from him as much as I could. I didn't want him to think about it.

2316
02:40:29,800 --> 02:40:33,800
And he went out and did a heck of a job, but that's too bad he didn't get it.

2317
02:40:33,800 --> 02:40:35,800
It looked like he had command of just about everything he threw tonight.

2318
02:40:35,800 --> 02:40:38,800
His off-speed stuff looked great. He was up a few times.

2319
02:40:38,800 --> 02:40:43,800
He might have gotten away with a couple of pitches early, but really there wasn't any kind of a thing close to a hit

2320
02:40:43,800 --> 02:40:45,800
until Baines got a hole-in-one with two out in the seventh.

2321
02:40:45,800 --> 02:40:48,800
Well, this is by far the best game I've seen Milt throw.

2322
02:40:48,800 --> 02:40:53,800
He's come close on occasion to throwing ball games close to this, but nothing like it.

2323
02:40:53,800 --> 02:40:59,800
I was excited just as well as everybody else was, and I was really hoping that he'd get it.

2324
02:40:59,800 --> 02:41:02,800
And gosh dang it, he didn't do it, and I feel really bad for him.

2325
02:41:02,800 --> 02:41:06,800
But he did pitch a super ball game, and he got the W, and that's what counts.

2326
02:41:06,800 --> 02:41:11,800
Did you catch that one hitter he threw last April 20th against the Royals?

2327
02:41:11,800 --> 02:41:14,800
You know, I don't know if I did or not, to be honest with you.

2328
02:41:14,800 --> 02:41:15,800
Can't remember, huh?

2329
02:41:15,800 --> 02:41:19,800
Well, obviously, even though he had pitched a previous one hitter a year ago,

2330
02:41:19,800 --> 02:41:22,800
he didn't come as close to immortality as he did tonight.

2331
02:41:22,800 --> 02:41:27,800
Well, this would have been just as much of an excitement for me as it would have been for him.

2332
02:41:27,800 --> 02:41:31,800
You know, I was hoping and praying there that he'd let one more out to go, and it didn't happen.

2333
02:41:31,800 --> 02:41:34,800
But, you know, he pitched a super ball game. He has nothing to be ashamed of,

2334
02:41:34,800 --> 02:41:37,800
and I'm very proud of him just like everybody else is.

2335
02:41:37,800 --> 02:41:39,800
Well, it's got to be a big win for your ball club as well,

2336
02:41:39,800 --> 02:41:42,800
because the White Sox have been very tough for your team to handle,

2337
02:41:42,800 --> 02:41:44,800
not only earlier this year, but last year as well.

2338
02:41:44,800 --> 02:41:48,800
Well, they certainly have, and I hope that this is going to change the tide a little bit.

2339
02:41:48,800 --> 02:41:51,800
They've been awful rough on us, and I hope this turns things around for us.

2340
02:41:51,800 --> 02:41:53,800
Lance, thanks for coming on with us after the ball game. Congratulations.

2341
02:41:53,800 --> 02:41:54,800
All right. Thank you.

2342
02:41:54,800 --> 02:41:58,800
You know, the catcher sometimes deserves almost as much credit as the pitcher

2343
02:41:58,800 --> 02:42:00,800
for calling a great ball game.

2344
02:42:00,800 --> 02:42:03,800
We'll be back to talk to the villain as far as the Tigers are concerned.

2345
02:42:03,800 --> 02:42:08,800
Pitch hitter Jerry Hurston, who broke up the perfect game bid with two out of the ninth with a pitch single.

2346
02:42:08,800 --> 02:42:10,800
He's waiting in the White Sox clubhouse,

2347
02:42:10,800 --> 02:42:12,800
and we'll be back to talk with Jerry in just a moment.

健 lod Watney Baseball

2364
02:43:39,800 --> 02:43:48,740
the first pitch standing by

2365
02:43:48,740 --> 02:43:50,440
with us today I would imagine a

2366
02:43:50,440 --> 02:43:52,280
very subdued clubhouse is White

2367
02:43:52,280 --> 02:43:54,040
Sox pinch hitter par excellence

2368
02:43:54,040 --> 02:43:56,040
Jerry Hurston who picked tonight

2369
02:43:56,040 --> 02:43:57,420
of all nights to get his first

2370
02:43:57,420 --> 02:43:58,720
hit of the year it came with two

2371
02:43:58,720 --> 02:44:00,420
outs nobody on in a perfect game

2372
02:44:00,420 --> 02:44:02,560
bet by right handed Bill Wilcox

2373
02:44:02,560 --> 02:44:03,760
and Jerry you came up swinging

2374
02:44:03,760 --> 02:44:04,860
you jumped on the first pitch.

2375
02:44:05,520 --> 02:44:06,660
Yeah I was in inside the

2376
02:44:06,660 --> 02:44:08,760
clubhouse you know being keeping

2377
02:44:08,760 --> 02:44:11,100
the ball and I was taking a few

2378
02:44:11,100 --> 02:44:13,060
practice swings and Jerry Kuzma

2379
02:44:14,060 --> 02:44:15,140
he told me Jerry just take it

2380
02:44:15,140 --> 02:44:17,000
right up the middle and I said

2381
02:44:17,000 --> 02:44:18,240
okay because I was up on that

2382
02:44:18,240 --> 02:44:20,680
first pitch and fortunately it

2383
02:44:20,680 --> 02:44:22,180
was a fastball right there and I

2384
02:44:22,180 --> 02:44:23,940
just swung and days hit up the

2385
02:44:23,940 --> 02:44:24,280
middle.

2386
02:44:24,780 --> 02:44:25,480
I haven't checked the record

2387
02:44:25,480 --> 02:44:26,640
book but have you had that much

2388
02:44:26,640 --> 02:44:27,880
success against Wilcox in the

2389
02:44:27,880 --> 02:44:28,220
past.

2390
02:44:29,080 --> 02:44:30,680
Well the only time I ever faced

2391
02:44:30,680 --> 02:44:33,160
him was in the minor leagues and

2392
02:44:33,420 --> 02:44:34,460
it was only a couple of games

2393
02:44:34,460 --> 02:44:36,360
that I faced him and I guess I

2394
02:44:36,360 --> 02:44:38,320
got a few hits there here and

2395
02:44:38,320 --> 02:44:39,160
I think that's the only thing

2396
02:44:39,160 --> 02:44:39,920
that I could have done.

2397
02:44:40,160 --> 02:44:41,100
Have you ever been in a

2398
02:44:41,100 --> 02:44:42,400
situation where you came up in

2399
02:44:42,400 --> 02:44:43,800
the ninth inning at home with a

2400
02:44:43,800 --> 02:44:45,260
fans all wanted you to make out

2401
02:44:45,960 --> 02:44:46,740
no never.

2402
02:44:48,040 --> 02:44:49,900
But you know the situation like

2403
02:44:49,900 --> 02:44:50,740
that you're not going to

2404
02:44:50,740 --> 02:44:52,100
understand the fans understand

2405
02:44:52,100 --> 02:44:53,640
the fans they want to see this

2406
02:44:54,480 --> 02:44:56,240
no hitter perfect game whatever

2407
02:44:56,240 --> 02:44:57,840
and you know they were really

2408
02:44:57,840 --> 02:44:59,920
cheering for the other team and

2409
02:45:00,080 --> 02:45:01,680
once I came out to warm up the

2410
02:45:01,680 --> 02:45:05,560
pitcher and I told the wrong guy

2411
02:45:05,960 --> 02:45:07,220
you know so I know that they

2412
02:45:07,220 --> 02:45:08,720
were really excited and it was

2413
02:45:08,720 --> 02:45:11,220
really a thrill to be associated

2414
02:45:11,220 --> 02:45:14,420
with an occasion like this and I

2415
02:45:14,420 --> 02:45:15,500
was really giving them my best

2416
02:45:15,500 --> 02:45:17,460
shot and fortunately I was able

2417
02:45:17,460 --> 02:45:19,360
to get a hit well I had pride at

2418
02:45:19,360 --> 02:45:20,560
stake for our team you know we

2419
02:45:20,560 --> 02:45:22,140
wanted to rush hitting ball

2420
02:45:22,140 --> 02:45:23,600
clubs in the major leagues and

2421
02:45:24,100 --> 02:45:25,400
you know everybody was pulling

2422
02:45:25,400 --> 02:45:26,500
for me and you know I was just

2423
02:45:26,500 --> 02:45:27,700
trying to do my best.

2424
02:45:27,940 --> 02:45:29,300
Well your name is going to be

2425
02:45:29,300 --> 02:45:30,840
linked with Wilcox's tomorrow I

2426
02:45:30,840 --> 02:45:32,780
can assure you of that and of

2427
02:45:32,780 --> 02:45:33,980
course you'd trade it all in for

2428
02:45:33,980 --> 02:45:34,680
a victory tonight.

2429
02:45:34,920 --> 02:45:35,180
Right.

2430
02:45:35,780 --> 02:45:37,180
Well good luck Jerry and maybe

2431
02:45:37,180 --> 02:45:38,120
tomorrow's going to be hot for

2432
02:45:38,120 --> 02:45:38,920
you the next couple of weeks.

2433
02:45:39,120 --> 02:45:40,320
Hopefully so I feel real good

2434
02:45:40,320 --> 02:45:40,380
now.

2435
02:45:40,780 --> 02:45:40,860
All right.

2436
02:45:41,120 --> 02:45:41,660
Thank you very much.

2437
02:45:41,880 --> 02:45:41,980
All right.

2438
02:45:42,460 --> 02:45:43,660
Jerry Hairston who broke up

2439
02:45:43,660 --> 02:45:45,520
Wilcox has been for a perfect

2440
02:45:45,520 --> 02:45:46,620
game with two out of the night

2441
02:45:46,620 --> 02:45:47,960
with a clean pitch single up the

2442
02:45:47,960 --> 02:45:48,220
middle.

2443
02:45:48,700 --> 02:45:49,860
The only base runner the White

2444
02:45:49,860 --> 02:45:51,500
Sox had against the red hot

2445
02:45:51,900 --> 02:45:53,560
right hander the Tigers pitching

2446
02:45:53,560 --> 02:45:54,940
in 35 degree weather here

2447
02:45:54,940 --> 02:45:55,100
tonight.

2448
02:45:55,660 --> 02:45:57,700
It certainly wasn't any holding

2449
02:45:57,700 --> 02:45:59,640
Wilcox back who threw only 105

2450
02:45:59,640 --> 02:46:01,140
pitches to get his one hit shut

2451
02:46:01,140 --> 02:46:01,700
out victory.

2452
02:46:02,480 --> 02:46:03,700
We've also added the ninth inning

2453
02:46:03,700 --> 02:46:04,980
call from the Tigers radio

2454
02:46:04,980 --> 02:46:06,740
broadcast featuring announcers

2455
02:46:06,740 --> 02:46:08,140
Ben Harwell and Paul Carey.

2456
02:46:14,580 --> 02:46:16,060
Here's Carlton Fisk the first

2457
02:46:16,060 --> 02:46:18,620
man to face Milt in the ninth

2458
02:46:18,620 --> 02:46:18,960
inning.

2459
02:46:19,360 --> 02:46:21,500
Fisk so far batted twice he's

2460
02:46:21,500 --> 02:46:23,960
flied to left the soft fly and

2461
02:46:23,960 --> 02:46:25,460
the last time up Wilcox struck

2462
02:46:25,460 --> 02:46:25,800
him out.

2463
02:46:26,360 --> 02:46:27,560
Three to go and it'll be a

2464
02:46:27,560 --> 02:46:29,040
perfect game for Wilcox.

2465
02:46:34,480 --> 02:46:36,640
He has seemed to very composed

2466
02:46:36,640 --> 02:46:38,540
and he seems to be on the brink

2467
02:46:38,540 --> 02:46:40,140
of this historic moment.

2468
02:46:41,340 --> 02:46:42,820
Now he heaves a sigh looks in to

2469
02:46:42,820 --> 02:46:43,580
get his side.

2470
02:46:43,620 --> 02:46:45,080
Here's the pitch on the way

2471
02:46:45,080 --> 02:46:46,680
Fisk swings there's a fly ball

2472
02:46:46,680 --> 02:46:47,120
to left.

2473
02:46:47,480 --> 02:46:48,720
Here comes turned and digging

2474
02:46:48,720 --> 02:46:50,760
he's there he's got it and it's

2475
02:46:50,760 --> 02:46:51,560
two to go.

2476
02:46:52,720 --> 02:46:55,020
A soft fly down the line and

2477
02:46:55,020 --> 02:46:56,900
left field picked off by Larry

2478
02:46:56,900 --> 02:46:57,300
Herndon.

2479
02:46:58,560 --> 02:46:59,360
Fisk is out.

2480
02:46:59,360 --> 02:47:04,360
And Mike Squire the left hand

2481
02:47:04,360 --> 02:47:06,300
batting first baseman comes up

2482
02:47:06,300 --> 02:47:07,340
now as a pet hitter.

2483
02:47:08,600 --> 02:47:10,280
He'll be batting for Vance Law

2484

Wilcox is two outs away from

2489
02:47:34,060 --> 02:47:35,460
perfection in this game.

2490
02:47:35,500 --> 02:47:36,940

2505
02:48:32,820 --> 02:48:36,660
Wilcox has a perfect game and

2506
02:48:36,660 --> 02:48:37,900
the right hander delivers.

2507
02:48:37,900 --> 02:48:39,960
He's got a three and a foul back

2508
02:48:39,960 --> 02:48:40,540
to the screen.

2509
02:48:42,200 --> 02:48:44,200
One into the count on Squires

2510
02:48:46,400 --> 02:48:48,740
Wilcox has been behind only on a

2511
02:48:48,740 --> 02:48:49,340
couple of batters.

2512
02:48:49,580 --> 02:48:54,620
He got behind a three and oh on

sixth inning and got him on

2515
02:48:57,720 --> 02:48:58,060
strike.

2516
02:49:00,960 --> 02:49:03,020
That was his biggest obstacle

2517
02:49:03,020 --> 02:49:05,020
that he got by in this

2518
02:49:05,020 --> 02:49:08,100
game so far now I say one two

2519
02:49:08,100 --> 02:49:09,300

2520
02:49:09,900 --> 02:49:12,800
He takes the wide one to the

2521
02:49:12,800 --> 02:49:16,640
count on him one out in the

2522
02:49:16,640 --> 02:49:20,280
ninth inning a no hitter and a

2523
02:49:20,280 --> 02:49:21,880
perfect game on the line for

2524
02:49:21,880 --> 02:49:26,020
Wilcox two more batters to go

2525
02:49:30,120 --> 02:49:32,380

2526
02:49:32,380 --> 02:49:35,360

2527
02:49:35,360 --> 02:49:35,620

2528
02:49:35,860 --> 02:49:39,820
He's got a leaning in Wilcox has

2529
02:49:39,820 --> 02:49:41,800
a sign here's the wind up is the

2530
02:49:41,800 --> 02:49:43,660
fifth Squires takes it is

2531
02:49:43,700 --> 02:49:44,260

02:49:46,500 --> 02:49:47,500
Oh count on him.

2533
02:49:47,560 --> 02:49:48,840
That was a breaking ball.

2534
02:49:53,840 --> 02:49:57,140
Wilcox takes his cap off backs

2535
02:49:57,140 --> 02:49:59,380
off the mound looks at the

2536
02:49:59,380 --> 02:50:02,580

2537
02:50:02,580 --> 02:50:04,420
