00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
The New York Yankees faced the Milwaukee Brewers at County Stadium for a Saturday afternoon game on April 10th, 1976.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:23,000
The Yankees hadn't been to the postseason in 12 years, its longest drought since 1920, but there was some new excitement in town thanks to the hiring of manager Billy Martin.

4
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:36,000
This was the year before the signing of Reggie Jackson, but the Yankees had also made some big moves prior to the season when they acquired Willie Randolph, Mickey Rivers, Doc Ellis, Oscar Gamble, Doyle Alexander, and Carlos May.

5
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
The 1976 Brewers were managed by newcomer Alex Gramis.

6
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Following the success of his coaching involvement under Sparky Anderson's Big Red Machine, the Brewers set their sights on Gramis as their next skipper and signed him to a three-year contract in November of 1975.

7
00:00:50,000 --> 00:01:00,000
1976 also marked the final season for home run king Hank Aaron. Aaron left the Braves and joined the Brewers in 1975 in order to return back to Milwaukee.

8
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:21,000
This audio recording is from the New York Radio broadcast featuring announcers Phil Rizzuto, Frank Messer, and Bill White.

9
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,000
...to Mickey Rivers, oh and two. John Milton Rivers, where do you get the nickname Mickey?

10
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000
When he grew up in Florida, he was a big Mickey Mantle fan and that's how it all started.

11
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Oh two pitch coming, take it outside on the fastball, ball one.

12
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,000
One ball, two strikes to Mickey Rivers leading it off for the Yankees here in the top of the first.

13
00:01:52,000 --> 00:02:01,000
And the one-two pitch swung on, popped up into the air, George Scott under it in fair territory in the first base and puts it away.

14
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:10,000
So Mickey Rivers pops up too, George Scott, there's one away from the Yankees here in the top of the first and it'll bring up left fielder Roy White.

15
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,000
White sets the collar Thursday afternoon, an 0-3 performance.

16
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:23,000
White this afternoon batting left-handed, right-handed that is, against the left-handed pitching Bill Travers.

17
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Wind blowing out to left and the first pitch fouled away to the right up over the Milwaukee dugout, strike one.

18
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:41,000
They play white medium deep, left fielder Charlie Moore shaded a bit to the left.

19
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,000
And the 0-1 pitch coming out of Roy White, bumped it on at the plate, fouled away, strike two.

20
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:55,000
So Bill Travers gets ahead of White at Rivers one and two before Mickey pops up to George Scott at first base.

21
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000
And now a quick 0-2 count on Roy White.

22
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
White a 2-72 hitter last year for the Yankees.

23
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:09,000
And the 0-2 pitch line fouled down the first base line into the stand, count holds 0-2.

24
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,000
White just trying to get a piece of it, punching it foul.

25
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,000
And Travers still ahead of the hitter, throwing only one ball to the first two batters.

26
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000
0-2 pitch curve ball down low and inside, ball one.

27
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
One and two to White.

28
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Thurman Munson, the Yankee designated hitter is on deck.

29
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,000
And the 1-2 pitch, swung on and missed, strike three.

30
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Bill Travers gets his first strikeout, Roy White and now Thurman Munson, counts to the plate.

31
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Munson went 0-4 Thursday, coming off a 3-18 season.

32
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:59,000
And the first Yankee to drive home more than 100 runs in more than a decade.

33
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Rick Dempsey doing the catching until Munson's finger heels, he can swing that bat but Thurman says he just can't really throw the baseball the way he'd like to.

34
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,000
So here's Munson stepping in, they play Thurman full.

35
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,000
And the first pitch breaks in there, strike one, call.

36
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,000
0-1.

37
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Bill Travers, a left-hander, used the fork ball quite a bit.

38
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Pitch with no spin, breaks down and around a lot, kind of like a knuckleball.

39
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Next pitch outside, ball one.

40
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:42,000
One and one to Thurman Munson, two outs, top of the first.

41
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
No score in the ball game.

42
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:51,000
And the 1-1 pitch, fastball low and inside, two and one.

43
00:04:51,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Ground crew was working on that mound feverishly prior to the start of the ball game.

44
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Following Yankee manager Billy Martin's protest of Thursday afternoon's game.

45
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Two and one pitch, left-hander kicks and throws, curve ball breaks low and inside, and the count goes 3-1 to Thurman Munson with Chris Shambles on deck.

46
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Travers getting ahead of the first two hitters, getting rivers to pop out, white to strike out, and here's the 3-1 pitch.

47
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Long on, bounce to short, three hops, Robin Young has it, comes up throwing a shot, inside, side retired, Yankees go down, one, two, three.

48
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000
No runs, no hits, no errors.

49
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,000
The score after half an inning of play, the Yankees nothing, the Brewers coming to back.

50
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:54,000
The program, that's Chris Shambles at first, rookie Willie Randolph at second, Fred Fanley at the shortstop, Greg Nettles at third, Roy White in left field, Mickey Rivers in center, Luke Pennella is in right.

51
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Charlie Moore will lead it off for the Brewers.

52
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Moore a converted catcher, moving to the outfield, very aggressive ball player.

53
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Alex Gramis, all night comparing him to Pete Rose as far as ability is concerned, is telling me he compares him in many ways in his desire and his aggressiveness.

54
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Going out to left field, still says he prefers catching, but he'll play anywhere.

55
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:28,000
First pitch by Ed Figueroa, the Yankees, taking in their strike one.

56
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Figueroa, right-handed pitcher, and they play Charlie Moore to pull the ball, center fielder Mickey Rivers shaded way over to the left, and the pitch taken in there, strike two, call.

57
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Figueroa goes out in front, oh and two on Charlie Moore.

58
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Figueroa doesn't strike out many, but then again he doesn't walk too many.

59
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Last year, 84 bases on balls and 139 strikeouts.

60
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Oh and two pitch, check swing, swung on and missed those, as played on fire George Maloney, strike three.

61
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,000
So Charlie Moore goes down on three pitches and there's one man away.

62
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
It'll bring up third baseman Don Money.

63
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Money was one of the keys for the Brewers Thursday afternoon.

64
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,000
After Catfish Hunter got Moore in a pop-up, he went ahead oh and two on Don Money.

65
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Money fouled off about a half dozen pitches, finally worked the count to three and two and then bounced one hard down the third baseline in between nettles in the bag for a double, and the Brewers were off and running for three runs.

66
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,000
First pitch by Figueroa, taking up high ball one.

67
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Figueroa throws an excellent sinker, gets the sign from Rick Dempsey, and the pitch, fastball, strike one, one and one.

68
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:54,000
So Don Money, Money wound up the afternoon two for four, coming off a 277 batting season last year.

69
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,000
And the one-one pitch, swung on, fouled at the plate, strike two.

70
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:07,000
So Figueroa gets ahead of Don Money with George Scott on deck.

71
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Scott the big man for the Milwaukee Brewers, for the league and RBI's.

72
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Tied Reggie Jackson for the league lead and home run.

73
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Figueroa gets the sign, one-two pitch, hit high into the air, right field, curving foul, moving over Panella, and it bounces into the stands up and about the fourth row, so the count holds one ball, two strikes.

74
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Long run for Sweetmoo Panella, and he heads back now to his position in right field.

75
00:08:47,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Who can't believe we're sitting here in our shirts, please, this afternoon, temperature around 60, and they say it may snow tomorrow. Fastball, strike three, and Figueroa has struck out two in a row, called third strike to Don Money, and it'll bring up George Scott.

76
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:09,000
George Scott, the power hitter for the Milwaukee Brewers.

77
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:21,000
One-oh for three Thursday, super fielding third baseman, five times winner of the American League's Golden Glove Award, five years in a row overall, seven times.

78
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:32,000
First pitch to Scott, fastball high and inside, and Scott hits the deck, and the crowd responds.

79
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:45,000
He's now up and wiping the dirt from his pants legs, as plate umpire George Maloney calls third.

80
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Figueroa ready, the one-oh pitch, taking high and inside, ball two. Scott just backing away a bit.

81
00:09:52,000 --> 00:10:08,000
George Scott coming off the best season of his major league career, this is 11th year in the big leagues, his fifth in Milwaukee, 202 career home run, 222 against the Yankees last season.

82
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:22,000
And Figueroa looks in now to Dempsey, around comes the right arm, in comes the pitch, swung on and missed, strike one. George Scott with a heavy cut, and the count now two and one, Roy White playing him extremely deep and left.

83
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Mickey Rivers just about straight away in center. Shortstop Stanley about three steps from the outfield grass, two-one pitch up, eyeball three.

84
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:48,000
On deck for the Milwaukee Brewers, catcher Darrell Porter.

85
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:58,000
And the three-one pitch coming, taking up high, ball four, so George Scott works the walk with two men away, and Darrell Porter.

86
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:11,000
The catcher went one for three. Thursday afternoon comes to the plate. Porter's just 23 years of age, just a real young ball club these Milwaukee Brewers have.

87
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:25,000
At 18 home runs last season, it's 232. Two of those homers were grand slammers, and both came against Baltimore. Now Yankee manager Billy Martin goes out to the mound to talk with that Figueroa.

88
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Rick Dempsey joins him, along with Greg Nettle, and perhaps a discussion of the mound. Billy wanting to ask, but you're at Figueroa, the mound is okay. Now Martin returns.

89
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:58,000
And Darrell Porter steps in. George Scott leads away from first base with two outs. Here in the bottom of the first, no score. The stretch and the pitch, high on outside, ball one.

90
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Figueroa got more and money on strikes than walks Scott. The stretch, Scott takes the lead, the pitch taking high on outside, ball two, and the fastball, and it's 2-0.

91
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Looking down to third base, Darrell Porter to coach Jimmy Bragan.

92
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Hit or take, we'll see. 2-0 pitch coming. Outside again, ball three. Figueroa trying to keep the ball away from Darrell Porter, keeping it too far away.

93
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:45,000
And he's falling behind, 3-0, with Henry Aaron on deck.

94
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Ganks play Porter to really pull that baseball. Fretz Stanley just about six-eighths steps to the left of second base. And the pitch, down low, ball four.

95
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:13,000
Four straight pitches, Darrell Porter walks, and the cheers for Hammer and Henry Aaron.

96
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Aaron in his first time up, Thursday afternoon, single home, two off, catfish hunter. And in the second inning, he single home a third run.

97
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:37,000
And that's really all the Brewers needed. Two outs, two runners lead away. Figueroa throws to Aaron, and the pitch up, high ball, one.

98
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:43,000
George Scott leads away from second, Darrell Porter from first. The Brewer fans start the rhythmic applause.

99
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:50,000
To the stretch, yet Figueroa checks the runners and the pitch taken in their strike one call.

100
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:57,000
At Zinkerball, just above the knees, and the county.

101
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Two outs, bottom of the first, no score, Brewers threatening.

102
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Wind blowing out to the left, Aaron now calls time at the plate.

103
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Greg Nettles about six-eighths steps off the third baseline, Roy White deep in left.

104
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:23,000
And the one-one pitch to Henry, bounce to short, two hops to Stanley, throws to Randolph at second for the fourth, and the side is retired.

105
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:30,000
For the Milwaukee Brewers, there were no runs, no bases, there were no Yankee errors, and there were two men left on base.

106
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:35,000
So through one inning of play, the score, the Yankees nothing, the Brewers nothing.

107
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:41,000
No score in the ball game, the Brewers threatening without a base hit in that bottom half of the first inning.

108
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:48,000
When that Figueroa had a touch of wildness, walking George Scott and Darrell Porter, but he got Henry Aaron, the bounce into the force play.

109
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Leading it off for the Yankees, left-handed swinging, Chris Shambliss, the first baseman to be followed by Luke Fenella and Greg Nettles.

110
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Shambliss went 0-4 in the opening game, slow curve, taking up high ball one.

111
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Left-hander Bill Travers, they play Shambliss straight away.

112
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:16,000
And the one-one pitch fastball lined to center, Sisto Lescano has a beat on it and puts it away.

113
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Well-hit baseball, but right to Sisto Lescano, and there's one away.

114
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Luke Fenella is first at bat of the 1976 season.

115
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Luke suffered, really suffered through the 1975 season with an inner ear infection, hitting only 196 after a Super 305 season back in 1974.

116
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:48,000
The even years seem to be Fenella's best, 74, 72, and 70, batted over 300.

117
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:55,000
First pitch bowled away at the plate, up off the screen, strike one.

118
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:05,000
No balls, one strike to Luke Fenella.

119
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Luke's super line drive hitter does not hit that many home runs.

120
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:18,000
His career high 11 with Kansas City, curveball breaks inside and checking his swing was Fenella.

121
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,000
First base umpire Jim McKeon was asked by George Maloney if Fenella went around.

122
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:28,000
He said no, so the count evened one-on-one.

123
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Travers looks in for the side, and the one-one pitch fastball inside, ball two.

124
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,000
On deck, Greg Nettles, the Yankee third baseman.

125
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Should anybody get a board, catcher Rick Dempsey.

126
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Fenella now steps out.

127
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000
The cows be coaching his third.

128
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Now to first base, one of the all-time great Yankees, Elston Howard.

129
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Two-and-one pitch.

130
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Swung on, bounced to short, three hops, Robin Yonk gets it on the short one, flips the shot inside for the out, and there are two quick ones for the Yankees here in the top of the second.

131
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,000
And it'll bring up Greg Nettles.

132
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Nettles 0 for 3.

133
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Thursday afternoon.

134
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,000
A big season for Greg back in 1975.

135
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Nettles at 267 with 21 homers, 91 RBI.

136
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Left-handed hitter against the left-handed pitching Bill Travers.

137
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,000
First pitch fastball inside, ball one.

138
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:43,000
They're playing Nettles just about straight away and deep.

139
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:51,000
The pitch up high and tight, ball two, 2-0 to Greg Nettles with two men out here on the top of the second inning.

140
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:57,000
From the school of ball game, Rick Dempsey on deck.

141
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Travers gets the side from Porter, 2-0 pitch again inside, ball three, trying to jam Greg Nettles, keep it on the inside corner, and Travers is falling behind.

142
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:27,000
He's set, gets the side from Porter, and the 3-0 pitch, taken in there, strike one, go. Nettles taking all the way.

143
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Greg will be swinging at this one if it's a good one. 3-1 pitch, swung on, bounced the first, curving foul.

144
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Played there by George Scott who flips it back to Travers.

145
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Nettles gets a light with a count remaining at three and one and a long walk back to home plate.

146
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Opening day at Yankee Stadium, next Thursday afternoon against Minnesota, and now it already is still out.

147
00:18:52,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Make it to the new Yankee Stadium Saturday or Sunday afternoon as the Yankees go against Rod Carew and the Minnesota Twins.

148
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:10,000
They win 2-2 pitch, swung on and missed, strike three. So Travers recovers and gets Greg Nettles for his second strike out of the ball game.

149
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Nothing across for New York in the top of the second. No runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left on base.

150
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Throw an inning and a half. The Yanks nothing, the Brewers nothing.

151
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:28,000
For the second inning now, the Brewers send out center fielder, 6th-dollars, Scott-O, Bill Sharp, and Robin Yarns.

152
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,000
They're telling a super play on Greg Nettles, robbing him at least a triple Thursday afternoon.

153
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:39,000
First pitch by Figueroa, taking up high ball one. Scott-O has one for four.

154
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:45,000
He was one of the problems last year, so to speak, for manager Del Crandall.

155
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Line drive, center field, base hit.

156
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Nicky Rivers plays it on two hops, flips it back in his second, taking the turn with Scott-O.

157
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:59,000
He holds on with a first base hit of the ball game, a line single to center.

158
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,000
The Brewers with the lead runner on it, right fielder Bill Sharp coming to the play.

159
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Early in the ball game, let's see what Alex Dramis does.

160
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Greg Nettles standing on the grass, down the third baseline.

161
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Taking the lead from first is Lescano. Bill Sharp, left-handed hitter.

162
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,000
Figueroa to the stretch, and the Yankees call for the pitch out.

163
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,000
Lescano was not going. He stole a dozen bases last year.

164
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:46,000
That was tops for the twins. They are not particularly a running ball club.

165
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,000
The Brewers, Bill Sharp at the plate.

166
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:56,000
And the 1-0 pitch taken up by ball two, 2-0.

167
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:06,000
For Bill Sharp, who was not traded to the Minnesota Twins in the last five minutes, he is still a Milwaukee Brewer.

168
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:11,000
At Figueroa, his first appearance as the New York Yankee coming off a strong spring

169
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,000
and a 16-game winning season out in California.

170
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,000
And the pitch up high, ball three.

171
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Figueroa had control problems back in the first inning.

172
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:32,000
After striking Joe Charlie Moore and Don Money, he walked the couple before pitching out of the jam.

173
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Short conference between Rick Dempsey and Figueroa.

174
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Greg Nettles joining it for a moment.

175
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Leading away from first, six-0 Lescano.

176
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Let it off here on the bottom of the second with a single.

177
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,000
The pitch taken in there, strike one, call.

178
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Three and one.

179
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Shortstop Robin Yantzi on deck batter.

180
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Yankees play sharp straight away.

181
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
To the stretch, Figueroa.

182
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Throw over to first, Lescano diving back.

183
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:10,000
And he is safe.

184
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Figueroa trying to keep them close.

185
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Here is over again.

186
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Goes to the stretch.

187
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Lescano takes about a six, seven foot lead.

188
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,000
And the pitch.

189
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Line grabbed by Shamblett who will double Lescano off first base.

190
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Super play by Shamblett who grabbed a hard hit line drive and easily doubled off sixth

191
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,000
to Lescano at first for the double play.

192
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,000
If you are scoring, that goes as three on the double play.

193
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Shortstop Robin Yant comes to the play.

194
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Yant went 0 for three in the season opener.

195
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Coming off a 267 season and no longer a teenager.

196
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Third full season in the bigs.

197
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,000
He is only 20.

198
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Takes the first pitch high and inside ball one.

199
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Center fielder Mickey Rivers playing relatively shallow.

200
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,000
The pitch fouled into the stands behind the plate.

201
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Lescano is even one ball one strike to Robin Yant.

202
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Jimmy Bragan coaching down at third.

203
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Harvey Keane down at first.

204
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,000
And the pitch.

205
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,000
Line left field just over the glove.

206
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,000
Shortstop Stanley Bay fifth.

207
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Stanley timed his lead perfectly.

208
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,000
But just up over his outstretched glove for the Bay sixth.

209
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,000
On at first is Yant with a single.

210
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000
And right here, we pause for station identification.

211
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,000
This is the New York Yankee baseball network.

212
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:47,000
This is WMCA Straus Communications in New York.

213
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Pedro Garcia the batter with two men out.

214
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,000
And the pitch taking up high ball one.

215
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Robin Yant down at first with a two out single.

216
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Spencer Ross for Frank Messer, Phil Rizzuto and Bill White at Milwaukee County Stadium.

217
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,000
In a scoreless ball game in the bottom of the second.

218
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Brewers with two Bay sixths in this inning.

219
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Double play getting the Yankees out of a bit of trouble.

220
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,000
The pitch pops up into the air.

221
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Catcher Rick Dempsey down the line.

222
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Wave settles off and he makes the catch for the third out.

223
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:28,000
So again, Figueroa pitches out of a jam and leaves two runners on base.

224
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
For the Brewers, no run.

225
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
There were two Bay sixths.

226
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,000
There were no Yankee errors.

227
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,000
And two left.

228
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Two innings complete.

229
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,000
The score, Yankees nothing, Brewers nothing.

230
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:43,000
For the New York Yankees, leading it off will be catcher Rick Dempsey.

231
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000
And joining me in the broadcasting booth,

232
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Coro Rizzuto's favorite sportscaster at shortstop, the Scooter, Phil Rizzuto.

233
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,000
All right, Spence, I see you put a couple more hundred miles on your flying time.

234
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Flying Spencer Ross.

235
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,000
Here is Rick Dempsey and he hits one deep to right center.

236
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,000
I couldn't know it was hanging up there.

237
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,000
And Lascano is over there making the catch.

238
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,000
Didn't have time to serve it.

239
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Didn't hear Spencer either, but Dempsey caught this kid Bill Travis in the Puerto Rican Witter League.

240
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,000
And every one of his pitches and he claimed he was going to have a good day against him.

241
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,000
And he did hit that ball well.

242
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,000
But the wind is blowing from right field to left field.

243
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Strong wind and it held it up so it's one away.

244
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,000
And young Bill Travis has retired the first seven Yankees.

245
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Here's Willie Randolph who takes the strike on the outside corner.

246
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Yankees got to get started.

247
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:45,000
You get in a rut like this for a while where it's tough to get a base hit, base run to score one.

248
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,000
Once you break out of it, things are good.

249
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
But you get a little tight when you haven't scored.

250
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000
And there's strike two to Willie Randolph.

251
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,000
There was shutout opening day here at the Yankees.

252
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,000
And even though Billy Martin protested the game, Russ Getz said he didn't have a chance of winning it.

253
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Right, Spencer?

254
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,000
That's right.

255
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000
You begin to think too much too when these things start happening.

256
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,000
That's right.

257
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,000
You tighten up a little more.

258
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:11,000
You try a little harder instead of just relaxing and hitting that ball.

259
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,000
One ball, two strikes on Willie Randolph.

260
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Travis winds and the pitch swing there with that fork ball.

261
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,000
He swung over it.

262
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,000
And that's the third strikeout.

263
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,000
He's had one in each inning.

264
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Wow.

265
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Fred Stanley will be the batter.

266
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Fred did not play opening day.

267
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Well, we'd like to welcome Mr. R. David Ridgeway, WDOE Radio, from Dunkirk, New York.

268
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,000
It's a very famous town.

269
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,000
I have a lot of Yankee fans up there.

270
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,000
That I know.

271
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,000
It was the famous battle, too.

272
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,000
But I'm talking about Dunkirk.

273
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:49,000
I remember I've seen that in the movies many times.

274
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:57,000
Also from Ellenville, Mr. Al Dresner from WELV Radio, Ellenville, New York.

275
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,000
Next pitch to Stanley is inside and it's one-on-one.

276
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Glenfall, that's one of my favorite towns.

277
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,000
I go through that when I go up to visit my daughter up in Vermont.

278
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,000
All then on board, WBGA Radio.

279
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,000
There's a foul back in the crowd, not a play.

280
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,000
And Gloversville.

281
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,000
Now, I have a very fond attachment to Gloversville.

282
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
I used to be signed with a glove company from Gloversville, New York.

283
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,000
Where else would a glove company be?

284
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,000
That's right.

285
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
That's what that town was named after.

286
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Mr. Larry Peck, WENT Radio.

287
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Gloversville, New York.

288
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000
High to Stanley and it's two and two.

289
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
But you know how long ago that's been?

290
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Everybody connected with that firm has passed away.

291
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Now, nobody remembers me and I don't get any more gloves.

292
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,000
What does a glove company do?

293
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,000
I don't know.

294
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,000
I guess they do, otherwise it would have changed the name of the town.

295
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,000
You're right.

296
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
High and it's three and two to Stanley.

297
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,000
No score here in the top of the third inning.

298
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,000
And we have been blessed with some very nice weather,

299
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,000
although tomorrow might be a drastic change.

300
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,000
I don't believe it, though.

301
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,000
I don't either.

302
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,000
It cannot snow tomorrow.

303
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Well, they say, you know, when you're on this lake, Lake Michigan, anything can happen.

304
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000
The ball is pitched to Fred Stanley.

305
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Outside ball four and the Yankees finally get a base runner.

306
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,000
Travis had retired eight in a row.

307
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,000
Stanley gets to walk and the batter will be Mickey Rivers.

308
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Rivers popped her first his first time up.

309
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Well, it's got to be sad news for a lot of Yankee fans

310
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,000
and people who like to attend openers,

311
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:34,000
knowing that it's a complete sellout and not a ticket available.

312
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,000
In fact, the Yankees are asking people not to arrive at the ballpark that day,

313
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,000
unless you have a ticket because it is a definite 100 percent sellout,

314
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
but Saturday and Sunday.

315
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Yeah, they got time to get them in, right?

316
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:50,000
All right, the pitch to Rivers, a curve breaks a little low, ball one.

317
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Yeah, some of the twins will still be in town,

318
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,000
and there are tickets available for those games.

319
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Scooter, you worked on Rivers bunting, didn't you?

320
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Yep, but this is not a time to bunt.

321
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,000
No.

322
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Pitch to Rivers popped up.

323
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Oh, he hit it pretty well in right field, shots moving back to the warning track.

324
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
And make the catch, oh, he lost his hat.

325
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,000
I thought he dropped the ball, his hat came off.

326
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Here I thought Rivers popped it up,

327
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,000
and the ball went all the way to the warning track in deep right center.

328
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,000
So for the Yankees, no runs, no hits, no errors.

329
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,000
The man left at the end of two and a half.

330
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,000
Yankees, nothing in the Brewers, nothing.

331
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Festeros with Phil Rizzuto, Bill White and Frank Lester,

332
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,000
and best wishes go out to Frank.

333
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000
You get back here to this broadcasting booth, Frank,

334
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,000
who underwent an operation recovering,

335
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,000
and he's going to be back here shortly, Scooter.

336
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,000
We're all rooting for him to make it real quick.

337
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Okay, Spencer's very nice here.

338
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Charlie Moore, who struck out his first time up when fishing for a bad curve ball,

339
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,000
facing Ed Figueroa for the second time.

340
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Kingston, New York, the home of Fred Davy.

341
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:07,000
We'd like to welcome Mr. Joseph Shuler from WKNY Radio in Kingston, New York.

342
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,000
Pitch is in there, strike one call to Charlie Moore.

343
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Figueroa has set Moore up with all breaking pitches the first time up.

344
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Came in with a fastball, looked like Moore was leaning, looking for the breaking pitch.

345
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,000
The next pitch, there's one, again inside, and it's one-on-one.

346
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,000
How about the way he low-bridged the big George Scott, Spencer?

347
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
In fact, the back third.

348
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Wouldn't want to get that guy mad at me.

349
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,000
One-one delivery is high ball two.

350
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,000
He has not had good control of his fastball.

351
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,000
His breaking pitch has been his best pitch so far early in this ball game,

352
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,000
talking about Figueroa.

353
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Actually, he makes the game look easier than Catfish Hunter out there.

354
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,000
What's the score?

355
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,000
I'm a line drive, yeah.

356
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,000
I got two-shores.

357
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,000
On the ball, right.

358
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,000
Okay.

359
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Don Money struck out his first time up.

360
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Foul's run back.

361
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,000
That'll be out of play.

362
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Dempsey chasing it, but it's back into the seats well back.

363
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Right now, I'll pick Stanly who's ahead of Chambliss.

364
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Well, again, you've got to take into consideration,

365
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,000
had that ball gotten by Chambliss, one and any,

366
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,000
because the next guy singled after that, after two were out.

367
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Stanly's was the more difficult play, you're right.

368
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Except it hurt Chambliss a little more.

369
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,000
Yeah.

370
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,000
That had a smart.

371
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,000
That was from wicked line drive.

372
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
Pitch is on the inside corner.

373
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:40,000
0-2, and it looks like Figueroa is trying to pitch all the right-hand hitters inside.

374
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:46,000
And of course, the good play has helped for the shape of the stars of the game.

375
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:51,000
I think he's hardly had anybody worth a star opening day, Spencer.

376
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000
I know you gave the points out.

377
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,000
I gave Oscar Gamble three points, Sparky Lyle one.

378
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,000
That's about it.

379
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,000
No fibers.

380
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,000
No.

381
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,000
Bouncer hitting the hole, nettles by him.

382
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,000
Greg got to that ball, and it looked like it pulled him.

383
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,000
He thought it was going to come up higher than it did, it went under his glove.

384
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,000
And that'll go for a base hit.

385
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Well, that reminds me, and I was not a consideration on that particular play,

386
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,000
but that infield, the grass, is very rocky.

387
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,000
That meant it's an alibi because it does not take a bad hop on nettles.

388
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,000
That is incredible.

389
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,000
It is.

390
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Looks like they had that battle of Dunkirk right down there.

391
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Looks like Prospect Park.

392
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,000
Hey, that was a good ball.

393
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,000
Wait a minute.

394
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Diamond one was too mental.

395
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Sure.

396
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,000
Here's George Scott, who walks, played many a game out there.

397
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Well, he's a good base runner.

398
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,000
They have to watch him.

399
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Net the ball, hits deep to right field.

400
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000
And over there is Spinella near the line, near the wall.

401
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,000
He can't get it, but it's a foul ball.

402
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,000
Oh, man, that was close and missed by about six inches of being fair.

403
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,000
It hit the base of the wall.

404
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Spinella got there.

405
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:58,000
But the way the wall just out, Spencer, he didn't have an opportunity to go hard at it.

406
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,000
And it was a difficult play also because if it just out, it also just in.

407
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,000
And that wall hit Spinella a little quicker than I think he thought it was going to happen.

408
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,000
And he bounced off it hard, but he seems to be okay.

409
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,000
He could have gotten hurt badly had he been going full tilt.

410
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,000
And he played it well.

411
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,000
So it's just a long strike on George Scott.

412
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Money leads away.

413
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:30,000
The kick and the pitch is a curve outside one-on-one.

414
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,000
No score in the bottom of the third inning.

415
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Figure over to the belt.

416
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
His pitch popped up on the right side.

417
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Chambliss going back, calling for it in fair territory.

418
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Chris makes the catch and air it two out.

419
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:52,000
And that brings up Darrell Porter, who walked his first time up.

420
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Lev Cain comes through again with a very, very small assist from Jerry Kelly.

421
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:05,000
He's just bringing Spencer Roth and either two hard workers a little sustenance.

422
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,000
It's coffee, folks.

423
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,000
I wonder if people are on the idea, too.

424
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,000
All right.

425
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,000
Left-hand batter Porter hits one high in the air to right.

426
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Didn't get a hold of it.

427
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Pennella should have no problem.

428
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,000
In fair territory, Lew makes the catch.

429
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,000
And that's out number three.

430
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,000
No runs to hit.

431
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,000
No errors.

432
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,000
The man left at the end of three.

433
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,000
It's the Yankees nothing and the Brewers nothing.

434
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:34,000
Here at County Stadium in Milwaukee, the Brewers no runs through yet.

435
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,000
No errors.

436
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,000
And the Yankees still looking for their first base hit of the ballgame.

437
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:46,000
So Travers has retired the first eight Yankees before Fred Stanley drew a walk in the third inning.

438
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Now Roy White is struck out swinging his first time up, 0-4 on the season, batting right against the left-handed pitching Travers.

439
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,000
They play Roy just about straight away.

440
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,000
The pitch bounced slowly past the mound.

441
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Scott has it.

442
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Travers over to cover.

443
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Not in time.

444
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,000
White beats it out.

445
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:15,000
Scott got the baseball, but Travers a little slow in getting over to first base as he thought he had an opportunity first at getting that baseball.

446
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:21,000
And Roy White will get an infield single, the Yankees' first base hit of the ballgame.

447
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,000
And it brings up designated hitter Thurman Munson.

448
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Munson bounced the short back in the first inning, 0-1, 0-5 on the season.

449
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:37,000
Looks down to third base coach Dick Hauser.

450
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Four aside.

451
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:50,000
Grave infield back at normal depth as Munson steps in.

452
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,000
At this point, not looking for the butt.

453
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,000
White leads away.

454
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Travers to the stretch, the pitch, fastball, in there, strike one.

455
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,000
No balls, one strike to Thurman Munson.

456
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Again, peers down to Dick Hauser at third base for a side.

457
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,000
White takes the short lead at first.

458
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Scott holding him on tight.

459
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Travers looks in for the side from Darrell Porter.

460
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,000
And the 0-1 pitch.

461
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,000
Line to the center field.

462
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Escoto on the run, makes the catch.

463
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:36,000
White half-way, has to hustle back to first base, and there's one away.

464
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:42,000
Escoto got a good jump on the baseball to retire Thurman Munson.

465
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,000
And it brings up Chris Shambliss.

466
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:49,000
Shambliss flied to center his first time up.

467
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:53,000
Came up with a super defensive play back in the second inning,

468
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:58,000
taking a double away from Bill Sharp and a hard hit line drive.

469
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Could have produced a big inning for the Milwaukee Brewers.

470
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Instead, they wound up with zero.

471
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Shambliss a 300-hitter last year, super year for Chris.

472
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,000
Day in, day out.

473
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:19,000
First pitch, curve ball, breaks in, strike one.

474
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Twenty-three-year-old Bill Travers.

475
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,000
Through the stretch, checks white, and the pitch, taking up high.

476
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Ball one, one and one.

477
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,000
Travers won his first four decisions last season,

478
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:47,000
and then lost seven in a row, wound up six and eleven on the year.

479
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,000
Goes through the stretch, and the one-one pitch, there goes white.

480
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Porter's throw to second is low in the dirt, picked up by Garcia,

481
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:59,000
but white is in there safely for the stolen base.

482
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Darrell Porter got the throw off, played nicely by Pedro Garcia on the short hop,

483
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,000
and then white was in there with the steal.

484
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:15,000
So the Yankees were there, first runner in scoring position of the afternoon.

485
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,000
The pitch was appalled to Shambliss, the count goes two and one,

486
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:23,000
and white now leading away from second.

487
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:28,000
Score is ball game, top of the fourth.

488
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Travers through the stretch, checks the runner.

489
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:44,000
Two-two pitch, swung on and missed, strike two.

490
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:51,000
Travers throws that fork ball, no spin, to an extent similar to an uphill ball.

491
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Two-two pitch, swung on and missed in the curve, strike three.

492
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Travers gets Shambliss, his fourth strike out of the ball game,

493
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,000
and it's up to Sweet Lou Pennella.

494
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:08,000
Pennella bounced the short back in the second inning.

495
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:13,000
In the lineup this afternoon with the left-hander Bill Travers on the mound,

496
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Thursday Oscar Gamble played right field with right-hander Jim Slayton pitching.

497
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:25,000
Greg Nettles on the on-deck circle, and they are going to walk Lou Pennella intentionally

498
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:33,000
to get the left-hander hitting Greg Nettles.

499
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:47,000
Milwaukee manager Alex Grammis playing the percentages, count goes to two and oh now.

500
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:52,000
It's the kind of situation that gets a batter with the power of a Greg Nettles,

501
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,000
with his adrenaline flowing.

502
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:00,000
You walk him to get to me, and I'm going to show you.

503
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:06,000
So Nettles steps in, Yankees now with the runners at first and second

504
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,000
as Pennella is given the intentional base on ball.

505
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:15,000
First walk issued by Travers, two men out, two men on.

506
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Roy White leads from second, Lou Pennella from first,

507
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,000
left-hander Bill Travers pitches, Nettles flings, bounces in the hole,

508
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Garcia over the high second base, hooks the on in time for the fourth play,

509
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,000
and the side retires.

510
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Pedro Garcia taking a base hit away from Greg Nettles by going behind the bag

511
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:38,000
at second to retire the side on the fourth, four to six,

512
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,000
and the Yankees threat goes by the board.

513
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Four to York, no runs, one base hit, there were no Milwaukee errors,

514
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:49,000
and the Yankees lead two to four through three and a half innings of play.

515
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:55,000
The score, Yankees nothing and the Brewers nothing.

516
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,000
Elsewhere in the American League this afternoon, Boston and Baltimore,

517
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,000
Schoolers going to the bottom of the fourth, Wise against Holton,

518
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,000
Detroit leads Cleveland three nothing through four,

519
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Willie Horton had a two run home run for the Tigers,

520
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,000
Joe Coleman against Dennis Ecker's lead.

521
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,000
In the National League, the Nets and Montreal,

522
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,000
Dallas in the first, Pittsburgh leads Philadelphia two one

523
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,000
through four and a half innings of play,

524
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Cincinnati five, Houston one after an inning and a half,

525
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,000
Chicago two, St. Louis nothing through four.

526
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Henry Aaron leads it off for the Milwaukee Brewers

527
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,000
and takes the first pitch in their strike one call.

528
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:34,000
Ed Figaro has given up three bases thus far,

529
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:41,000
and Bill Travers just won and that an infield hit.

530
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,000
Aaron bounced into a force play back in the first inning,

531
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,000
with the runners at first and second and two men away.

532
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,000
Lines it in the left field, that'll be in there for a base hit.

533
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:54,000
White up for the ball, lost it back at his second base,

534
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,000
and Henry Aaron onto the line, single to left,

535
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:00,000
to lead it off for the Brewers here in the fourth inning.

536
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,000
Aaron went two for three Thursday afternoon,

537
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,000
and now another line smash to left field.

538
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:12,000
He had been quoted as saying he was going to start punching the ball

539
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,000
to right this year.

540
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,000
After the game Thursday I spoke to him about it,

541
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,000
and he said despite those two bases,

542
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,000
he's looking forward to going to right field this year,

543
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,000
hasn't done it yet.

544
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Nick Deloscano, the center fielder,

545
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,000
with Aaron at first, nobody away.

546
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:33,000
Deloscano, single to left his first time up,

547
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,000
and the pitch swung on, bowed at the plate,

548
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:40,000
off the chest protector of plate on fire George Maloney.

549
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,000
Jimmy Bragan, the coach down at third base,

550
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:47,000
Deloscano looking down the line, four aside.

551
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,000
Henry Aaron leads away from first base.

552
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,000
A leadoff single here on the bottom of the fourth.

553
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Scoreless ball game.

554
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,000
Tigger over to the stretch, and the pitch outside,

555
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:08,000
ball on the curve ball, one and one.

556
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:14,000
Tigger on, gets the side, the stretch, the pitch outside,

557
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,000
and the count goes two balls in one strike.

558
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:22,000
They play Deloscano just about straight away.

559
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:27,000
In field and double play depth.

560
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,000
Scoreless ball game, bottom of the fourth.

561
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Scoreless ball game, bottom of the fourth.

562
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,000
Two on pitch, line deep to center field.

563
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,000
Rivers way back, one handed over the shoulder.

564
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Aaron more than halfway, scoops back to first base,

565
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,000
and there is one man away.

566
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,000
Deloscano with a wicked line drive to center,

567
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,000
and Rivers goes back to put it away,

568
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,000
and it'll bring up Bill Sharp.

569
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,000
Cincinnati got three more in the bottom of the second.

570
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:00,000
They now lead Houston by a score of 8-1 after two,

571
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,000
and the Mets have taken the lead for Montreal,

572
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,000
one-nothing now in the bottom of the fifth.

573
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,000
Priming against Matlack at J. Stadium.

574
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:12,000
Bill Sharp, pitch change up down low, ball one.

575
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:17,000
Sharp, line to Chris Shambliss back in the second inning.

576
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,000
Shambliss took a double away from him,

577
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,000
and wound up doubling Deloscano off first base,

578
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,000
ending a potential Milwaukee rally.

579
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,000
We have one out in the bottom of the fourth.

580
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,000
Henry Aaron leading off first.

581
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,000
Siguroa goes to the stretch, and the pitch.

582
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,000
Bounce to second, could be two.

583
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,000
Randolph, the Stanley for one,

584
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,000
and unable to get the throw off,

585
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,000
as Aaron came into second.

586
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:43,000
Just the fourth play, goes four to six.

587
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,000
Randolph, the Stanley, and they're a two-man away.

588
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,000
Sharp reaches on the fourth play.

589
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,000
And shortstop Robin Young.

590
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,000
The single to left his first time up.

591
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:59,000
Now one for four around the season.

592
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Right-handed hitter.

593
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,000
Sharp, the runner, leads away from first,

594
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,000
and the throw over by Siguroa.

595
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,000
Sharp back and side.

596
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:15,000
...

597
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Siguroa, the stretch, and the pitch up,

598
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,000
five-ball one.

599
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,000
Sharp, not much of a threat to Steath.

600
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:27,000
He has stolen only two bases in his major league career.

601
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:31,000
That came back in 1973.

602
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,000
One and 0 to count.

603
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,000
The pitch to Young.

604
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,000
Fastball, strike one.

605
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:40,000
One ball, one strike for Robin Young.

606
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,000
Scoreless ballgame.

607
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,000
We're in the bottom half of inning number four.

608
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,000
Yankees looking to break the shire

609
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,000
to get their first run of the season.

610
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,000
The pitch, that's the short,

611
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,000
and we can't get it in the center field

612
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:54,000
for the base hit.

613
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,000
Rivers up with it, holding it second,

614
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,000
taking a big turn.

615
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,000
Here's Bill Sharp, the Brewers now

616
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,000
with runners at first and second,

617
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:02,000
two-man away.

618
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,000
Here in the bottom of the fourth,

619
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,000
and right here,

620
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:05,000
let's ball for station identification.

621
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:09,000
This is the New York Yankee Baseball Network.

622
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:13,000
This is WMCA, Straus Communications in New York.

623
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,000
Hi, this is Mel Allen.

624
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,000
An air freight company has to know the ground rules, too.

625
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,000
That's why you should call Emory.

626
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,000
The shortest distance between two points.

627
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,000
Pedro Garcia at the plate now for the Brewers.

628
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,000
Milwaukee threatening in the bottom half

629
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,000
of the fourth inning.

630
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,000
The pitch, right, left field.

631
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:33,000
It'll be in there for a base hit.

632
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,000
Roundy Kirk coming out of the fourth shot.

633
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,000
Digging for third is Scott.

634
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:38,000
He's in there easily.

635
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,000
Round the floor, going down to second is Pedro Garcia.

636
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,000
And the Brewers lead it by a score of two to nothing.

637
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:52,000
Second one to nothing.

638
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,000
Yonk moving to third.

639
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:59,000
And Sharp scoring.

640
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:04,000
And Pedro Garcia with the RBI single.

641
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,000
The second he goes on the throw-in.

642
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:13,000
And we go to the top of the order, Charlie Moore.

643
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,000
The first lead, one nothing.

644
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,000
More 0 for 2.

645
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,000
Struck out swinging.

646
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,000
Bounced to short.

647
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,000
Pitch taken up by ball one.

648
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,000
But Stanley took the base hit away from him in the third inning,

649
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:29,000
going far to his left to throw him out.

650
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,000
Brewers with three base hits in this inning.

651
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,000
Six in the ball game.

652
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,000
1-0 pitch.

653
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,000
Fastball.

654
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:39,000
Right one to Charlie Moore.

655
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,000
Robin Yonk down to third.

656
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:46,000
Pedro Garcia at second.

657
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,000
Milwaukee has gotten on the board.

658
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:51,000
They lead it one nothing.

659
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,000
Ed Figueroa gets the side from Rick Dempsey.

660
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,000
The pitch, fastball outside.

661
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,000
Ball two.

662
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,000
Two balls, one strike.

663
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:04,000
To Charlie Moore with third baseman Don Money on deck.

664
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,000
They play Moore to pull the ball.

665
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,000
Pretty good power.

666
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,000
2-1-6.

667
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,000
One-nine foul at the plate.

668
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,000
Strike two for the county even.

669
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:18,000
Two balls, two strikes to Charlie Moore.

670
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:23,000
Plate on fire, George Maloney goes out, dusts off on plate.

671
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,000
Ed Figueroa steps out behind the mound, rubs up the baseball.

672
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:28,000
Now comes back.

673
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:32,000
Just the cap on his head.

674
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,000
Looks around, he got it third.

675
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,000
He'll go to the full windup.

676
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,000
Robin leads off third.

677
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,000
Pedro Garcia from second.

678
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,000
Two-two pitch coming.

679
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,000
To Charlie Moore.

680
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,000
Now Moore steps out.

681
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:52,000
Figueroa taking a great deal of time.

682
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,000
Brewer's lead one nothing.

683
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:59,000
Pedro Garcia single just moments ago.

684
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,000
And the two-two pitch coming.

685
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,000
Full windup.

686
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,000
Page up a five-ball three.

687
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,000
Three balls, two strikes.

688
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:11,000
To Charlie Moore.

689
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,000
Figueroa has for a new baseball.

690
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,000
Now he wants another one.

691
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,000
And that's that aside with this one.

692
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:25,000
And plate on fire, George Maloney throws him yet another ball.

693
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,000
Aaron let it off with a single.

694
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,000
There's still a runaround first with just two men away.

695
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,000
Then Yacht single to left.

696
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:37,000
And Darcy goes home the game's first row with a line single to left field.

697
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:41,000
The counter full of Charlie Moore.

698
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,000
Figueroa into the full windup.

699
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,000
The pitch taken up by ball four.

700
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:51,000
And the Brewers have loaded the bases.

701
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:55,000
Third base on balls issued by Ed Figueroa.

702
00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:00,000
And it brings up Don Money.

703
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,000
Money's one for two.

704
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:06,000
Took a tall third strike back in the first inning then single to left.

705
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:10,000
Brewers have six bases to the Yankees one.

706
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,000
Yacht leads from third.

707
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:15,000
Garcia from second.

708
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:25,000
And the pitch up high for a ball.

709
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:32,000
Bases full of Brewers.

710
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,000
Figueroa.

711
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,000
Around comes the right arm of the pitch inside ball two.

712
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:41,000
Rick Densley now calls time out to go out and talk with that Figueroa.

713
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,000
Figueroa had some control problems back in the first inning.

714
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:49,000
After striking out Moore and Money, he walked George Scott and Darrell Porter.

715
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:54,000
And regained his control and until walking Moore just moments ago.

716
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,000
He had not issued another pass.

717
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,000
Now Depthi finished with his conversation.

718
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,000
Moved back behind the plate.

719
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,000
Robin Yacht leads off third.

720
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,000
Pedro Garcia from second.

721
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,000
Charlie Moore from third.

722
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,000
Brewers have a run in here at the bottom of the fourth.

723
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,000
And Ed Figueroa trying to work himself out of this jam.

724
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,000
Around comes the right arm of the pitch.

725
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,000
In there strike one.

726
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,000
Goal.

727
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:22,000
Two and one.

728
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:25,000
Figueroa stands on the mound.

729
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,000
Now looks out toward the outfield for a moment.

730
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,000
Now looks in for the side from Rick Depthi.

731
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:32,000
The two on pitch.

732
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:33,000
Coming to down Money.

733
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:34,000
Swings.

734
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:35,000
Bounces at the third.

735
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,000
Nettles backs up.

736
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:37,000
Bakes the play.

737
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,000
Dives to third and he gets the runner.

738
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,000
Pedro Garcia coming in.

739
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:42,000
Super play by Nettles.

740
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,000
Saw he could not run to third.

741
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,000
And beat Garcia with a tag.

742
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,000
And instead Nettles slid into third base.

743
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:53,000
And just beat Garcia by half a stride to retire the side.

744
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,000
The four of the Brewers in the fourth inning.

745
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,000
They come up with one run on three bases.

746
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,000
There were no Yankees errors.

747
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:00,000
And the bases were loaded.

748
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,000
Three left on.

749
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:02,000
So through four.

750
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:03,000
The score now.

751
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:08,000
The Brewers won and the Yankees nothing.

752
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,000
That's a rock for Frank Messer with Bill Resuno and Bill White.

753
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,000
We go to the fifth inning.

754
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:16,000
Yankees now trailing the Brewers by a score of one to nothing.

755
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Opening day at Yankee Stadium.

756
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:19,000
The new Yankee Stadium.

757
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:20,000
Next Thursday.

758
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,000
That's a complete sellout.

759
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:25,000
And fans without tickets are asked please not to come.

760
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:26,000
But you're cordially invited.

761
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:32,000
Saturday and Sunday afternoon when the Yankees go against the Minnesota Twins once again.

762
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:37,000
Tickets are available for these games and all other home games at the Yankee Ticket Office.

763
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,000
Rick Dempsey leads it off as we go to the fifth.

764
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:40,000
Takes the first pitch.

765
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,000
Up five ball one.

766
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,000
Dempsey.

767
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:46,000
Fly to center his first time up.

768
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,000
Pitched by Travers.

769
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,000
Curve ball breaks in.

770
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:52,000
Inside that is.

771
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:58,000
And the count goes to it all.

772
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,000
Big opportunity for Rick Dempsey.

773
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,000
With Herman Munson unable to play behind the plate.

774
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,000
Lines the ball.

775
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,000
Hits the right field on the run.

776
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,000
A sharp one.

777
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,000
Hands it over his head.

778
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:13,000
Now Dempsey was saying after having played in the Winter Leagues with Travers.

779
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:14,000
He can hit this guy.

780
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,000
And he sure has sucked the ball two consecutive times.

781
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,000
But right at fielders.

782
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:25,000
The first time to Liscano and this time Bill Sharp making a long run to put it away.

783
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:29,000
So there's one man away and it's up to Willie Randolph.

784
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,000
Randolph struck out swinging back in the third.

785
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,000
Right handed hitter against Bill Travers.

786
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:35,000
And the pitch.

787
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,000
Taken down low ball one.

788
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:41,000
The fourth ball.

789
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:42,000
Travers has looked strong.

790
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:46,000
He's given up only one base hit that an infield hit by Roy White.

791
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,000
The pitch fouled at the plate.

792
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,000
Bounced off Willie Randolph's leg out in front of the plate.

793
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:55,000
But a foul ball.

794
00:53:55,000 --> 00:54:01,000
On deck shortstop Fred Stanley.

795
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,000
Wind blowing out to the left.

796
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,000
315 down the lines here at County Stadium.

797
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,000
402 to straightaway center.

798
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,000
392 on the power alleys in left and right.

799
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,000
The pitch bounced to third slowly and foul.

800
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,000
Money gloves it.

801
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:20,000
Flips it back to Travers on the count one and two to Willie Randolph.

802
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,000
Randolph out of Samuel Tilden High School in Brooklyn.

803
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,000
Product of the Pittsburgh Pirate Organization.

804
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:30,000
He hit 339 last year at Charleston in the International League before being called up for the Pirates.

805
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,000
Came to the Yankees and the deal had sent Doc Medich to Pittsburgh.

806
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:35,000
Pitch inside.

807
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:36,000
Ball two.

808
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,000
Two balls, two strikes to Randolph.

809
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,000
Austin and Baltimore now scoreless through five.

810
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,000
Detroit leads Cleveland three-nothing, five and a half.

811
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,000
Pitch lined left field.

812
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,000
Moore comes in and puts it away.

813
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,000
Again right on the money.

814
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,000
Randolph hitting the baseball but right at Charlie Moore.

815
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,000
And there are two outs.

816
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,000
Fred Stanley.

817
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:06,000
He became the Yankees' first base runner in the third inning after Travers had retired the first eight Yankees to come to the plate.

818
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:14,000
A base on ball.

819
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:19,000
In the National League, and that's leading Montreal one-nothing through five.

820
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:23,000
Pittsburgh three, Philadelphia one in the bottom of the seventh.

821
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:26,000
First pitch to Stanley up five, ball one.

822
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,000
Cincinnati eight, Houston one after three.

823
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,000
Chicago and St. Louis tied at two.

824
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,000
They played five.

825
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:37,000
A one-oh pitch to Stanley down low, ball two.

826
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:47,000
On deck Yankee leadoff hitter Mickey Rivers.

827
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,000
Two-oh pitch lined to right field.

828
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,000
Sharp comes in, has to play it on the bounce.

829
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:56,000
And Fred Stanley comes up with the Yankees' second base hit of the ball game.

830
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:57,000
The first part hit one.

831
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,000
A line single to right.

832
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,000
And it brings up Mickey Rivers.

833
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:07,000
Stanley with a perfect day thus far, a walk and a single.

834
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,000
Yankees have hit a lot of hard outs.

835
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:15,000
Right at Milwaukee fielder, Rick Dempsey.

836
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:21,000
On two occasions, Willie Randolph with a line shot to Charlie Moore.

837
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,000
Mickey Rivers at the plate.

838
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:24,000
Stanley leads away from first.

839
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:25,000
Travers to the stretch.

840
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:31,000
The pitch, a fast ball up five, ball one.

841
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,000
They play Rivers straight away.

842
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:37,000
Second baseman, Pedro Garcia, back on the edge of the outfield grass.

843
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,000
Any little kind of bouncer over Travers.

844
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:45,000
No way Garcia's going to get Mickey Rivers, who Travers now throws over to first.

845
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:52,000
Stanley back easily.

846
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:56,000
Don Money shortening up on the infield grass down the third baseline.

847
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:57,000
One-and-oh pitch to Rivers.

848
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:58,000
Bounce to second.

849
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:02,000
Garcia goes to second to Robin Yacht for the fourth play.

850
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,000
And the side is retired.

851
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,000
A four to six force out.

852
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,000
And for the Yankees, no runs.

853
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:10,000
They had one base hit.

854
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:11,000
No Milwaukee errors.

855
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,000
And they leave one through four and a half.

856
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,000
Halfway home now, the score.

857
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,000
The Brewers won, the Yankees nothing.

858
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:18,000
Bottom of the fifth.

859
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:22,000
Takes the first pitch for Matt Figueroa in their strike one.

860
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:31,000
Figueroa has been touched for six base hits.

861
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:32,000
One run change up.

862
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,000
Ryan Leffield base hit.

863
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:35,000
Roy White over.

864
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:36,000
Has it on three hops.

865
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,000
Scott makes the third.

866
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,000
White throws it into Stanley.

867
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:42,000
And George Scott on with the single.

868
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,000
His first base hit of the season.

869
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:49,000
He had walked and popped the first baseman, Shambliss.

870
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:50,000
Brewers with the lead runner on.

871
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,000
Darrell Porter, the catcher next.

872
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,000
Walks, slides to right.

873
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,000
So he's 0 for 1.

874
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,000
1 for 4 on the season.

875
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:02,000
Left handed hitter.

876
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,000
Scott leads away from first.

877
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,000
And the pitch, right center field.

878
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:08,000
It'll be in there for a base hit.

879
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,000
Rivers has it on one hop.

880
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:11,000
Scott hits second.

881
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:15,000
And doesn't even make the third as Rivers throw comes into the infield.

882
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:18,000
But the Brewers have opened up the bottom half of the fifth inning

883
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,000
with back to back singles.

884
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,000
Runners on first and second and nobody out.

885
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,000
And Hammer and Henry Aaron coming to the plate.

886
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:30,000
And both base hits in this inning have been hard hit shots.

887
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,000
Line drive.

888
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,000
Whistlers.

889
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,000
Aaron, 1 for 2.

890
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,000
Bounced into a fourth play.

891
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,000
Single to left.

892
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,000
So he's 3 for 5 in the early part of the season.

893
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,000
Figueroa to the stretch.

894
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:45,000
And the pitch.

895
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:46,000
Fastball.

896
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:51,000
Strike one call.

897
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:54,000
George Scott leads away from second.

898
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,000
Darrell Porter from first.

899
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,000
Yankees trail 1-0 here in the bottom of the fifth.

900
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,000
Figueroa goes to the stretch.

901
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:02,000
And the pitch.

902
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:03,000
Line to center.

903
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:04,000
It'll be in there for a base hit.

904
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,000
George Scott, now third.

905
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:07,000
On his way to the plate.

906
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,000
Rivers throw at the third.

907
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:10,000
Cut off by Stanley.

908
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:11,000
In there safely.

909
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,000
This Darrell Porter and Henry Aaron.

910
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:26,000
He's on with a run scoring single and the Brewers lead it 2-0.

911
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,000
And there is action in the Yankee bullhead.

912
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Full pen.

913
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:34,000
Right hander Dick Sidro and the left hander is Sippy Martinez.

914
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:38,000
Scott scores the Brewers second run of the ball game.

915
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,000
Porter moves all the way to third.

916
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:44,000
And Henry Aaron is on at first with a second base hit of the ball game.

917
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,000
Nick Soloscano, the center fielder.

918
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:53,000
Single to left and fly to center.

919
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:54,000
Brewers with men at the corner.

920
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:55,000
Quarter at third.

921
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:56,000
Aaron at first.

922
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,000
Still nobody out.

923
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,000
Nine base hits off Figueroa.

924
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,000
It goes to the stretch.

925
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:03,000
And the pitch.

926
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:04,000
Taking in there.

927
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,000
Strike one.

928
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:10,000
Soloscano is only 22 years of age.

929
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:15,000
His 247 last season, 333 against the Yankees.

930
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:18,000
This is a young ball club.

931
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,000
First man at first base by baseball standards.

932
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,000
Not too young, but young at heart.

933
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:24,000
Henry Aaron.

934
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,000
Strike two called out of Soloscano.

935
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:31,000
Who asked home plate umpire George Maloney.

936
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:34,000
So please have a look at the baseball.

937
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:38,000
Maloney exchanges it.

938
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:39,000
And throws the other one out.

939
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:46,000
And now Figueroa says he doesn't like the one he got from Maloney.

940
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:52,000
That's Figueroa at his first start for the New York Yankees.

941
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:56,000
That's a hit for two runs, nine hits.

942
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:57,000
There's action in the Yankee both end.

943
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:01,000
The Brewers with three consecutive hits here in this fifth inning.

944
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,000
Still nobody out.

945
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:11,000
Tidro and Martinez continue to work in the Yankee bullpen.

946
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,000
The pitch to Lescato.

947
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,000
Taking up high ball one.

948
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:21,000
One and two.

949
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:22,000
Darrell Porter down at third.

950
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:27,000
Henry Aaron at first.

951
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:31,000
And Figueroa trying to work out of a jam.

952
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,000
The pitch change up.

953
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:34,000
Pounce to third.

954
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:35,000
Nettles backs up.

955
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:36,000
Goes to Randolph for one.

956
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,000
Backs to Shambliff to throw high.

957
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,000
Off his glove.

958
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,000
Digging for second out of Lescato.

959
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,000
And the ball goes into the Yankees.

960
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,000
Into the Brewers dugout.

961
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,000
And Lescato is on his second.

962
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,000
The run scores.

963
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:53,000
And it's now a three to nothing ball game.

964
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,000
Randolph had a Taylor May double play.

965
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:04,000
The ball high and Shambliff could not control it.

966
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:08,000
Porter scores from third.

967
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:12,000
Aaron is wiped off the base pass.

968
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:18,000
And here is Bill Sharp, the right fielder.

969
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:25,000
That'll go as an error to second baseman Willie Randolph.

970
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:30,000
Enabling Lescato to advance to second.

971
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:31,000
One man away.

972
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:34,000
The pitch by Figueroa way high.

973
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:38,000
And in third.

974
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,000
And Bill Sharp looking out to the mound.

975
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:50,000
At Ed Figueroa.

976
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:51,000
Figueroa into the stretch.

977
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,000
The pitch is high in the air to left field.

978
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:57,000
Troy White moves back a couple of steps in front of the warning track.

979
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:58,000
Makes the catch.

980
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,000
Lescato playing halfway.

981
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:01,000
Moves back to second.

982
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:04,000
And they're now two men away.

983
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,000
And it brings up shortstop Robin Young.

984
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,000
Is that a perfect day for this ball?

985
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:10,000
Two for two.

986
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,000
Single to left in the second.

987
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:16,000
Single to left in inning number four.

988
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:25,000
That's when the Brewers finally got on the board.

989
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,000
Right handed hitter.

990
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:35,000
The pitch by Figueroa outside ball one.

991
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,000
Yankee's play on just about straight away.

992
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:41,000
The sun is gone behind the clouds here in Milwaukee.

993
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:44,000
The afternoon began with it shining brightly.

994
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:46,000
The pitch to Young.

995
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:47,000
Strike one.

996
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,000
One and one.

997
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:52,000
Six to Lescato down at second.

998
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:55,000
Brewers have scored two here in the bottom of the fifth.

999
01:03:55,000 --> 01:04:00,000
And lead the Yankees three to nothing.

1000
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:01,000
Figueroa to the stretch.

1001
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:02,000
The pitch to Robin Young.

1002
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:03,000
Bounce to the bottom.

1003
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,000
Good play by Figueroa.

1004
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:06,000
Takes his time.

1005
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,000
Throws on over to Shambliss.

1006
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:09,000
It's time for the out.

1007
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:10,000
The side retires.

1008
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:16,000
But not before the Milwaukee Brewers come up with two more runs on three base hits.

1009
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:17,000
There was one Yankee error.

1010
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:20,000
That's by second baseman Willie Randolph.

1011
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:21,000
And the Brewers leave one.

1012
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,000
It's a five complete inning.

1013
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:26,000
The score, the Brewers three runs, nine hits, no errors.

1014
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:31,000
The Yankees, no runs, two hits, one error.

1015
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:35,000
That's a round for Frank Messer, Phil Rizzuto, and Bill White in Milwaukee.

1016
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:38,000
We've just received a revised weather forecast.

1017
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:43,000
The temperature is now 70 degrees in Milwaukee, and the snow is out of the forecast.

1018
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:48,000
Turning colder tonight with a low in the 30s and maybe some thundershowers.

1019
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:49,000
Tomorrow partly sunny.

1020
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:50,000
That's good news.

1021
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:51,000
Now the Yankees need a few runs.

1022
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:56,000
Roy White leads it off here in the sixth inning against Bill Travers, who has given up only

1023
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:59,000
two base hits in the ballgame thus far.

1024
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,000
One of them, the White, an infield hit.

1025
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,000
Bounce foul at the plate.

1026
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:06,000
Count goes even one and one.

1027
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:11,000
Bounce one over Travers to the right side of the mound.

1028
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:17,000
George Scott made the fielding play, but Travers just a shade late in getting over to cover,

1029
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:18,000
and White beat it out.

1030
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:21,000
That was back in the fourth inning, the Yankees' first base hit.

1031
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:25,000
Next pitch taken outside, ball two.

1032
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:33,000
Yankees trail three nothing here in the sixth inning.

1033
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:37,000
And the 2-1 pitch by the left-hander lined a left-field base hit.

1034
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:41,000
Robin Yant, dope for the baseball, couldn't come up with it.

1035
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:46,000
Roy White gets the Yankees' third base hit of the ballgame, his second of the afternoon,

1036
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:53,000
and it'll bring up Thurman Munson, the designated hitter.

1037
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,000
Munson's 0-2.

1038
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:58,000
Bounce to short, fly to center.

1039
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,000
0-6 on the season.

1040
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:05,000
Chris Shambliss moves him to the on-deck circle.

1041
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:11,000
Yanks looking to get something going here in the sixth inning against left-hander Bill Travers,

1042
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:17,000
a 23-year-old who once sixth lost 11 last year for Milwaukee.

1043
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,000
White leading away from first.

1044
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,000
They play Munson straight away and deep.

1045
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:26,000
Thurman hits it to all fields and with power.

1046
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:36,000
And the pitch, up high, ball one.

1047
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:44,000
Munson coming off his best season in the Major League.

1048
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:49,000
It's 3-18, the pitch taken inside for a ball, ball two.

1049
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:54,000
He became the first Yankee since 1964 to drive home more than 100 runs.

1050
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,000
He drove home 102.

1051
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Seventh big league season with the Yankees, and he's had three 300 seasons.

1052
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,000
Do another count to Thurman.

1053
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,000
Roy White leads from first.

1054
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,000
The pitch popped up into the air, down the first baseline.

1055
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:15,000
George Scott makes a run at it right in front of the railing.

1056
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:21,000
He stumbles momentarily, and the ball hits inside the railing, but no play.

1057
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,000
Scott with a good run.

1058
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:26,000
And it came mighty close.

1059
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,000
Finest fielding first baseman in the American League.

1060
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:35,000
Five times consecutively the American League's Golden Glove Award winner,

1061
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:40,000
overall seven times in his career.

1062
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:46,000
Munson steps out now.

1063
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:51,000
With Roy White leading away from first, he's being held on by George Scott.

1064
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:54,000
The count is two and one.

1065
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:57,000
Travers to the stretch.

1066
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:00,000
And the two-one pitch lined in the center field.

1067
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:04,000
Sixth to Lescano, however, comes on and makes the play.

1068
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,000
White halfway, moves back to first.

1069
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:09,000
There's one man away.

1070
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:11,000
He'll bring up Chris Shamblin.

1071
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:13,000
Yankee first baseman is 0 for two.

1072
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:17,000
Flied to center, struck out swinging.

1073
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:23,000
Travers began this ballgame by getting the first eight Yankees and gave up a walk to Fred Stanley.

1074
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:30,000
It was an infield hit in the fourth inning and an intentional walk to Lou Pennella.

1075
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:35,000
Singles by Stanley and another base hit by White here in the sixth.

1076
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,000
First pitch to Shamblin's hit into left center field.

1077
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:39,000
Lescano moves over.

1078
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:42,000
Moore waves him off the left fielder, and he puts it away.

1079
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:46,000
And there are two men away.

1080
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:51,000
And it'll bring up Lou Pennella.

1081
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:57,000
Sweet Lou bounced his short and then was walked intentionally back in the fourth inning.

1082
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:03,000
Greg Nettles became the batter and bounced one in the hole right beyond second base.

1083
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:13,000
Pedro Garcia made a good play to get the fourth play, Garcia to Yan.

1084
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:17,000
White leads away, pitch lined in a center field, base hit.

1085
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:22,000
White hits second, doesn't take the turn, as Lescano throws it back into the infield,

1086
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:28,000
and the Yankees now with a tying run at the plate in the person of Greg Nettles.

1087
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:37,000
As White moves down to second, Nettles is 0 for two, struck out swinging, bounced into that fourth play.

1088
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:43,000
Pennella fourth inning, Garcia to Yan, which retired the side.

1089
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:49,000
And Greg coming off a 91 RBI season, looking for number one here.

1090
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:52,000
Yankees looking for their first run.

1091
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:59,000
Shutout Thursday, 5-0.

1092
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:07,000
Travers goes to the stretch, White and Pennella lead away, first pitch curveball, breaks outside, ball one.

1093
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:14,000
Travers has walked two this afternoon, one of them intentionally, that was Pennella, back in the fourth inning.

1094
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:20,000
Left-handed pitcher to the stretch, checking the runners, the pitch, high and inside, ball two.

1095
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:25,000
2-0 now to Greg Nettles with catcher Rick Dempsey on deck.

1096
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:34,000
Yankees trail, 3-0, we're in the top of the sixth inning, second game of a three-game series.

1097
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:39,000
And the 2-0 pitch coming, high and inside, ball three.

1098
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:46,000
So Travers falls behind on Nettles, who represents the tying run at the plate,

1099
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:59,000
and catcher Darrell Porter now moves out to have a chat with the 23-year-old left fielder, who hails from Norwood, Massachusetts.

1100
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:09,000
And he's a big fella, 6'4", 187 pounds.

1101
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:15,000
Conversation ended on the mound, Porter returns back behind the plate.

1102
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:23,000
The young boy, White, resumes his lead off second, blue Pennella, leads away from first.

1103
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,000
They play Nettles to pull.

1104
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:31,000
And the pitch, in there, strike one, 3-1 to Greg Nettles.

1105
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:35,000
Right side of the infield, playing back just about on the grass.

1106
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:39,000
Garcia on the grass, got a couple of strides in.

1107
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:42,000
The outfield grass, that is.

1108
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:45,000
3-1 pitch to Nettles, taking down low, ball four.

1109
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:50,000
The Yankees have loaded the bases, and it'll be up to Rick Dempsey.

1110
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:56,000
Now Dempsey has hit the ball well on all two occasions against Bill Travers.

1111
01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:08,000
They played together in the Puerto Rican League during the winter, and Rick is being called back.

1112
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:16,000
He just went out to get some pintar, as Alex Gramitz goes to the mound, and that's going to be it for Bill Travers.

1113
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:21,000
It's one visit to the mound, and Gramitz making up his mind very quickly.

1114
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:25,000
So we'll have a new pitcher in there for the Milwaukee Brewers.

1115
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:48,000
The new pitcher is now making his way to the mound.

1116
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:49,000
We're at the top of the sixth inning.

1117
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:51,000
The Yankees are threatening.

1118
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:53,000
They have the bases loaded.

1119
01:12:53,000 --> 01:13:01,000
There are two men out, and Milwaukee has come on with a new pitcher.

1120
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:07,000
And it's going to be Ed Rodriguez.

1121
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:17,000
Replacing Bill Travers, who pitched excellent baseball, Travers gets credit for six and two-thirds innings, gave a four-base hit.

1122
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:24,000
He walked two, struck out four, is responsible for all three men on base.

1123
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:28,000
And Ed Rodriguez will come on to pitch.

1124
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:39,000
Rodriguez, a right-handed thrower, appeared in 43 games for the Brewers last year, was undefeated 7-0.

1125
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:44,000
Travers is pitching it up to get credit for this ballgame if the Brewers can win it.

1126
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:49,000
And now the Yankees threatening, now 3-0, but with the bases loaded.

1127
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,000
And we have an opportunity to check the scoreboard.

1128
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:57,000
In Baltimore, the Orioles are trailing the Red Sox, 1-0, playing the bottom of the seventh.

1129
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:03,000
Wise against Holtzman, Detroit leading Cleveland, 3-0 in the bottom of the seventh.

1130
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,000
Joe Coleman started for the Tigers.

1131
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:06,000
John Hill around in the seventh inning.

1132
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:09,000
Dennis Eckersley all the way for Cleveland.

1133
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:10,000
Oakland at California.

1134
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:12,000
Minnesota, Texas later starts.

1135
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,000
In the National League, it's Shea.

1136
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:15,000
The Mets won.

1137
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:17,000
And Montreal nothing through seven.

1138
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:18,000
Breiman against Matlack.

1139
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:22,000
They've gone seven and a half now at Philadelphia.

1140
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:26,000
And the Pittsburgh Pirates lead the Phillies by a score of 3-1.

1141
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:28,000
Doc Medich started for the Pirates.

1142
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:29,000
Dave Justy in the eighth.

1143
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:31,000
Cott for the Phillies.

1144
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:33,000
Christensen on an inning number eight.

1145
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:38,000
Houston at Cincinnati in the red, lead by a score of 8-2.

1146
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:39,000
They've gone four innings there.

1147
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:44,000
Johnny Bench with a three-run homer in the first inning for the Reds when they scored five times.

1148
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:48,000
Jack Billingham in all the way for the Cincinnati Reds.

1149
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:51,000
Larry Durker, the starter for the Houston Astros.

1150
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,000
He didn't make it out of the fourth inning.

1151
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:56,000
Chicago at St. Louis all even at two.

1152
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:58,000
One-sixth inning complete.

1153
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,000
A bill bottom against Bobby Forch.

1154
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,000
LA at San Francisco.

1155
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:03,000
And Atlanta at San Diego.

1156
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:08,000
Those are later starts.

1157
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:15,000
So Ed Rodriguez comes on now for the Milwaukee Brewers.

1158
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:21,000
With the Yankees at all corners.

1159
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:23,000
And a third base.

1160
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:24,000
It is Roy White.

1161
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:26,000
Lou Pennella is at second.

1162
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:27,000
Greg Nettles is at first.

1163
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:30,000
And it's up to Rick Dempsey.

1164
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:34,000
And Dempsey hit that baseball hard against Travers both times.

1165
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:37,000
Now he has to go against Rodriguez.

1166
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:42,000
He had an earned run average of 3.49 last season.

1167
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:45,000
He's a right-handed thrower.

1168
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,000
Looks in for the side from Porter.

1169
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:49,000
Goes to the full lineup and the pitch.

1170
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:51,000
Up high ball one.

1171
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:57,000
One and O to Rick Dempsey.

1172
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:01,000
They play Rick straight away and deep.

1173
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:02,000
White away from third.

1174
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:03,000
Pennella from second.

1175
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:04,000
Nettles from first.

1176
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:07,000
One O pitch outside.

1177
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:08,000
Ball two.

1178
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:11,000
Two and O now to Dempsey.

1179
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:12,000
On deck for the Yankees.

1180
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:17,000
Rookie Willie Randolph.

1181
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:21,000
Rodriguez is set.

1182
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:22,000
Around comes the right arm.

1183
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:23,000
In comes the pitch.

1184
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:24,000
Fast ball.

1185
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:25,000
Strike one.

1186
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,000
So it's two and one.

1187
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:29,000
To Rick Dempsey.

1188
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:30,000
For the Yankees.

1189
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:33,000
Trailing it by a score of three nothing.

1190
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:35,000
And the time runs on base.

1191
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,000
The two on pitch to Dempsey.

1192
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:39,000
Line deep to left field.

1193
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:41,000
Moving back is Charlie Moore.

1194
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:43,000
At the edge of the warning track he makes the catch.

1195
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:45,000
And the side is retired.

1196
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,000
Dempsey again hits the ball hard.

1197
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:50,000
This time right to left fielder.

1198
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:51,000
Charlie Moore.

1199
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:53,000
A threat by the Yankees.

1200
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:54,000
Goes by the board.

1201
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:55,000
Four New York.

1202
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:56,000
No runs.

1203
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:57,000
They had two base hits.

1204
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,000
There were no Brewer errors.

1205
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:01,000
And the Yankees leave three.

1206
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:03,000
Through five and a half innings of play.

1207
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:04,000
The score.

1208
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:08,000
The Brewers three and the Yankees nothing.

1209
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,000
Well the Yankees with a threat.

1210
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:12,000
But nothing on the board.

1211
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:15,000
And still down by a score of three to nothing.

1212
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:18,000
As we go to the bottom half of inning number six.

1213
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:19,000
And for the Brewers.

1214
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:22,000
Leading it off will be second baseman Pedro Garcia.

1215
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:24,000
The ninth man in the Milwaukee batting order.

1216
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:28,000
Be followed by Charlie Moore and Don Money.

1217
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:29,000
At Bigarowas.

1218
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:32,000
First pitch is up high ball one.

1219
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:35,000
Garcia one for two in the ball game.

1220
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,000
Popped to Dempsey.

1221
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:38,000
And single to left.

1222
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:40,000
To drive home the Brewers first run of the ball game.

1223
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:42,000
That was back in the fourth inning.

1224
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,000
And a big gust of wind.

1225
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,000
Blowing up the dirt right around home plate.

1226
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:48,000
And Garcia steps out.

1227
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:50,000
Fortunately for Garcia he's a right handed hitter.

1228
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:52,000
And even a left handed hitter.

1229
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:55,000
That just would have flown right into his face.

1230
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:56,000
One and oh pitch.

1231
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:57,000
Bounced to third.

1232
01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:00,000
Nettles backs up. Pops off his glove.

1233
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:03,000
And Garcia's in it first.

1234
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:07,000
And will await the official score's ruling on this one.

1235
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:12,000
Nettles backing up on the ground ball.

1236
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:15,000
And Garcia is on safely.

1237
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:20,000
A lead off batter for the Brewers here in the sixth inning.

1238
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:21,000
And it'll be an error.

1239
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:24,000
Charge to Greg Nettles according to the official score.

1240
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:27,000
And it brings up Charlie Moore, the left fielder.

1241
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:28,000
Moore's over two.

1242
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:30,000
Struck out swinging.

1243
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:31,000
Bounced to short.

1244
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:34,000
A great play by Fred Stanley to take a base hit away from.

1245
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:36,000
And then he walked.

1246
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:38,000
Garcia leads away from first.

1247
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:40,000
And Figueroa throws over.

1248
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:49,000
Garcia back safely.

1249
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:52,000
To the stretch once again.

1250
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:54,000
And the pitch, busted on.

1251
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,000
Figueroa has nowhere to go but the first.

1252
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:58,000
Randolph covers the sacrifice.

1253
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:01,000
Works successfully for the Brewers.

1254
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:03,000
As Garcia moves down to second.

1255
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:05,000
On the sacrifice if you're scoring.

1256
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:09,000
It goes one to four.

1257
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:12,000
And Garcia moves in the scoring position.

1258
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:18,000
And it'll bring up Don Money in the third baseman.

1259
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:19,000
Money's one for three.

1260
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:24,000
Second call, third strike back in the first inning, single to left.

1261
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:27,000
And grounded out to Greg Nettles.

1262
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:31,000
A force play as he touched third base.

1263
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:37,000
The retired Garcia was.

1264
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:39,000
One for three in the first pitch.

1265
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:46,000
Tinkerball down low, ball one.

1266
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:49,000
One ball, another strike to Don Money.

1267
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:50,000
We're in the bottom of the sixth.

1268
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:54,000
The Anks are trailing three nothing.

1269
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:57,000
They play Money deep in left and toward the line.

1270
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:59,000
Playing the full of baseball.

1271
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:02,000
Now Figueroa steps off the mound.

1272
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:04,000
Seems to be pointing back to the mound.

1273
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:10,000
Remember Thursday Yankee manager Billy Martin protested the ball game.

1274
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:15,000
Due to what he considered to be poor conditions on the mound.

1275
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:20,000
He's filing a protest with American League president Lee McPhail.

1276
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:23,000
Now Figueroa's ready.

1277
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:25,000
Garcia leads from second.

1278
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:26,000
There's one out.

1279
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:27,000
We're in the bottom of the sixth.

1280
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:30,000
Figueroa to the stretch for pitch fastball.

1281
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:32,000
In there, strike one call.

1282
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:37,000
One and one.

1283
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:40,000
Nettles down the line at third.

1284
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:47,000
Five or six strides off the power.

1285
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:49,000
Figueroa goes to the stretch.

1286
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:51,000
Checks Garcia and the pitch.

1287
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:52,000
Bounce to short.

1288
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:53,000
Stanley with a hole in his left.

1289
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:54,000
Loves it.

1290
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:56,000
Comes up, has no play to make.

1291
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:59,000
But he saves the run from Seurich.

1292
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:03,000
Brett Stanley gets that ball from going to the outfield.

1293
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:06,000
And Garcia advances wholly to third base.

1294
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:07,000
That had gotten by Stanley.

1295
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:09,000
It would have been a four nothing ball game.

1296
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:17,000
An infield hit for Don Money.

1297
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:19,000
So Garcia over to third.

1298
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:20,000
Money out at first.

1299
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:23,000
And big George Scott to the plate.

1300
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:24,000
He's one for two.

1301
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:25,000
Walks.

1302
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:26,000
Pops the first.

1303
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,000
Single the left and scored a run.

1304
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:32,000
Brewers now at ten bases off that Figueroa.

1305
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:34,000
Still activity in the Yankee both end.

1306
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:40,000
Dick Tidro and Tippi Martinez continue to work.

1307
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:41,000
Figueroa's pitch.

1308
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:42,000
Swung on.

1309
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:43,000
Fouled at the plate.

1310
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:44,000
Strike one.

1311
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:46,000
Right off George Scott's left foot.

1312
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:52,000
He is shaking it around a bit.

1313
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:53,000
Very spring training.

1314
01:21:53,000 --> 01:22:01,000
Senator Alex Gramis is telling me that Bobby Darwin hit with about 450 feet to center field over a big high wall.

1315
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:05,000
Gramis said to George Scott, let me see you hit one like that.

1316
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:07,000
You see the altitude.

1317
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:10,000
Scott's comment was, I don't worry about altitude.

1318
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:12,000
I got enough altitude.

1319
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:15,000
And I can hit them as far as anybody.

1320
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:16,000
He sure can.

1321
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:18,000
Thirty-six homers last season.

1322
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:22,000
The O-1 pitch coming now from Figueroa.

1323
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:23,000
Up high.

1324
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:24,000
Ball one.

1325
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:25,000
One and one.

1326
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:43,000
Let the American League and RBI's with 109.

1327
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:44,000
One-one pitch coming.

1328
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:46,000
Figueroa goes to the stretch.

1329
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:47,000
The pitch up high.

1330
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:49,000
Ball two.

1331
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:53,000
The sun begins to come out once again here in the Waukesha County Stadium.

1332
01:22:53,000 --> 01:23:04,000
Two and one.

1333
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:07,000
The Brewers got one run in inning number four.

1334
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:10,000
Pedro Garcia singled it all.

1335
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:12,000
Henry Aaron.

1336
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:22,000
And Joel Foam, yet another one in inning number five for Milwaukee.

1337
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,000
Figueroa to the stretch.

1338
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:24,000
And the pitch.

1339
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:26,000
Right center field.

1340
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:27,000
Could be up the alley.

1341
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:28,000
Garcia scores.

1342
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,000
The ball goes all the way to the wall.

1343
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:53,000
Harding's gonna score.

1344
01:23:53,000 --> 01:24:07,000
And Yankee manager Billy Martin has gone out to the mound and he is gonna remove that Figueroa

1345
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:08,000
from the ball game.

1346
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:13,000
As the Brewers have come up with two more runs here in the sixth inning and they now

1347
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:17,000
lead it by a score of five to nothing.

1348
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:25,000
Garcia scoring from third, Don Money scoring all the way from first on George Scott's big

1349
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:26,000
triple.

1350
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:33,000
And the Brewers with a 5-0 lead.

1351
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:35,000
Scorless ball game through three.

1352
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:39,000
The Yankees got one in the fourth, two more in the fifth and now the Brewers that is,

1353
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:44,000
one in the fourth, two more in the fifth and two more here in the sixth.

1354
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:48,000
And that closes the book on Ed Figueroa.

1355
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:56,000
Who officially pitches five and two thirds innings and gives up 11 base hits.

1356
01:24:56,000 --> 01:25:01,000
He walked three and he struck out by two.

1357
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:05,000
Opening day Thursday against the Minnesota Twins.

1358
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:08,000
That's the new Yankee Stadium, a complete sellout.

1359
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:12,000
Fans without tickets are asked please not to arrive at the ballpark.

1360
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:15,000
There just aren't any more left folks.

1361
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:18,000
Cooperation of thousands of workers in the city of New York.

1362
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:21,000
The stadium virtually entirely complete.

1363
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:25,000
Fans are asked however to understand that there may be some normal opening day and conveniences

1364
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:31,000
but in the spirit of Yankee baseball we trust everyone will be understanding of the situation

1365
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:34,000
and enjoy the new stadium and the ball game.

1366
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:37,000
Big crowds expected Saturday and Sunday with the Twins.

1367
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:42,000
With American League batting champion Rod Carew at the big opening weekend of the new stadium.

1368
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:46,000
Tickets are available for the Saturday and Sunday games and all other home games

1369
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:49,000
at the Yankee ticket offices.

1370
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:55,000
Zippy Martinez will come into the Yankee lineup on the mound.

1371
01:25:55,000 --> 01:26:00,000
Tickets to Yankee home games are on sale throughout the season at the Yankee Stadium

1372
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:06,000
as they have ticket windows from 9 to 5 Monday through Saturday and from 10 to 5 on Sunday

1373
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:08,000
and through the conclusion of all night games.

1374
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:13,000
Tickets also available at the more than 100 Ticketron locations throughout the metropolitan

1375
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:20,000
left-handed center replacing Ed Figueroa who started off fairly strong

1376
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:26,000
but then the Brewers breaking through to grab themselves a 5 to nothing lead.

1377
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:28,000
And they're still at bat here in the sixth inning.

1378
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:32,000
George Scott with the big hit that not Figueroa out of the ball game.

1379
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:37,000
A line triple up the alley to right center field.

1380
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:42,000
Martinez last season appeared in 23 ball games for the Yankees.

1381
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:44,000
Picked up a couple of saves.

1382
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:47,000
A record of one victory and two defeats.

1383
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:50,000
And an earned run average of 2.68.

1384
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:57,000
Checking the saves, Zippy had eight of them last year and that was top four of the New York Yankees.

1385
01:26:57,000 --> 01:27:03,000
Martinez 25 years of age from Mahuta, Colorado.

1386
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:05,000
That's where he still lives.

1387
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:11,000
First pitch to Darrell Porter. Swung away at the plate. Foul. Strike one.

1388
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:14,000
George Scott leading away from third.

1389
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:17,000
Still only one man away.

1390
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:22,000
And the Yankee infield comes in on the grass looking for the play at the plate.

1391
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:27,000
Swung on and missed. Strike two, 0-2.

1392
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:34,000
A shortened up Yankee infield with Nettle, Stanley, Randolph, and Shamblin.

1393
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:38,000
Virtually in on the infield grass with just one out.

1394
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:42,000
And the pitch. Strike three. Call.

1395
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,000
So three straight pitches.

1396
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:48,000
And Zippy Martinez gets Darrell Porter.

1397
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:59,000
And here is Henry Aaron.

1398
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:01,000
Aaron's two for three.

1399
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:03,000
Mastinor force play.

1400
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:05,000
Single to left. Single to center.

1401
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:08,000
And drove home a run. And Yankee manager Billy Martin.

1402
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:12,000
Once again out to the mound. That's going to be it for Zippy Martinez.

1403
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:14,000
Who faces just one batter.

1404
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:17,000
And we'll get the right hander in here now for the Yankees.

1405
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:26,000
Believe it will be Dick Tidro.

1406
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:29,000
Martin does not want any more runs to cross the plate.

1407
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:33,000
Yankees still with three opportunities to get on the board.

1408
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:37,000
Against these Milwaukee Brewers.

1409
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:40,000
And the runner at third, George Scott.

1410
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:44,000
Still the responsibility of Yankee starting pitcher Ed Figueroa.

1411
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:48,000
Checking the scoreboard. They've gone to the bottom of the eighth now at Baltimore.

1412
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:56,000
And Boston in a ballgame which has the New Yorkers trailing now by a score of five to nothing.

1413
01:28:56,000 --> 01:29:02,000
Tidro made 37 appearances for the Yankees last season.

1414
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:05,000
He was converted to a relief pitcher last year.

1415
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:10,000
Picked up six wins, five saves, and the run average of 3.12.

1416
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:17,000
A record of six victories and three defeats.

1417
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:20,000
Tidro is 28 years of age.

1418
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:22,000
He dies in Kansas City, Missouri.

1419
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:26,000
And broke into the big leagues with the Cleveland Indians back in 1972.

1420
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:29,000
Had a couple of 14 game winning seasons.

1421
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:31,000
And came over to the Yankees on that deal.

1422
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:34,000
It also brought Chris Shambliss and the Cecil Upshot in New York.

1423
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:40,000
A big change for Chris Peterson, Steve Klein, Fred Bean, and Tom Buskey.

1424
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:43,000
Dick Tidro, 6 feet 4, 230 pounds.

1425
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:45,000
Yankees trailing five-nothing.

1426
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:50,000
We're in the bottom of the sixth and Henry Aaron set to step into the plate.

1427
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:54,000
Milly Martin bringing in Martinez for just one batter.

1428
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:57,000
And he got Darrell Porter on three straight pitches.

1429
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:59,000
Tidro goes to the stretch with the runner at third.

1430
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:02,000
The pitch to Aaron outside ball one.

1431
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:04,000
Henry's two for three.

1432
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:06,000
Bounced into a forced play.

1433
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:09,000
Single to left, single to center, drove home a run.

1434
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:12,000
He was two for three Thursday afternoon.

1435
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:16,000
And the pitch hit down the left field line foul up into the upper deck.

1436
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:23,000
So the count goes one and one.

1437
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:26,000
Bill Travers started for the Brewers.

1438
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:28,000
They shut out baseball until the sixth.

1439
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:30,000
The Yanks loaded the bases.

1440
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:32,000
Rodriguez came on to retire the side.

1441
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:33,000
One-one-fifth to Aaron.

1442
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:39,000
Fast ball down low, ball two.

1443
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:43,000
Center fielder Mickey Rivers shaded to the left, looking for Henry to pull that baseball.

1444
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:46,000
A lot of room down that right field line.

1445
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:48,000
Two balls, one strike to Henry.

1446
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:53,000
Fast ball, strike two, call.

1447
01:30:53,000 --> 01:31:00,000
Aaron has been saying he's going to start punching to right.

1448
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:03,000
And Tidro going to the stretch.

1449
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:05,000
Scott with a short lead at third.

1450
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:07,000
The pitch down low, ball three.

1451
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:13,000
Three and two to Henry Aaron with six to Los Canos on deck for the Milwaukee Brewers.

1452
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:19,000
Yankees trail by a score of five-nothing here on the bottom half of inning number six.

1453
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:23,000
And the full count pitch taken down low, ball four.

1454
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:31,000
So Aaron walks and it'll bring up six to Los Canos.

1455
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:33,000
As the Brewers keep it going.

1456
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:37,000
Los Canos single to left, line to center.

1457
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:39,000
That's an all-force play.

1458
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:43,000
The Brewers took advantage of that also as the runs scored.

1459
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:49,000
Second baseman Willie Randolph throwing high, the first to pick up the error.

1460
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:51,000
Shamblitt's unable to control the throw.

1461
01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:53,000
Right-handed hitter.

1462
01:31:53,000 --> 01:32:00,000
Fast ball outside, ball one.

1463
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:03,000
Yankees with their big threat in the top half of this inning.

1464
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:04,000
They loaded the bases.

1465
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:12,000
Rodriguez came on to get Rick Dempsey and a long fly ball to left field.

1466
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:15,000
Tidro to the stretch and the pitch.

1467
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:17,000
Taking in there, strike one call.

1468
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:20,000
One and one to six to Los Canos.

1469
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:22,000
George Scott down at third.

1470
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:26,000
He drove at Figueroa from the ball game with a two-run triple.

1471
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:29,000
Tippi Martinez came on to strike out Darrell Porter.

1472
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:31,000
And now Tidro is on.

1473
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:33,000
The pitch in there, strike two.

1474
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:37,000
One and two to Los Canos.

1475
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:39,000
Tidro walked Aaron.

1476
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:43,000
And now he's ahead of Los Canos.

1477
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:44,000
And the one-two pitch.

1478
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:45,000
Right, left field.

1479
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:46,000
Roy White comes in.

1480
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:47,000
Cannot get it.

1481
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:48,000
Blades it on about.

1482
01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:49,000
Scott scores.

1483
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:56,000
Aaron holds it second at the six-nothing ball game.

1484
01:32:56,000 --> 01:33:01,000
So the Brewers continue to hit the baseball.

1485
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:04,000
And Scott scores from third.

1486
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:07,000
And it'll bring out Billy Sharp, the right fielder.

1487
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:10,000
Sharp is 0 for 3.

1488
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:13,000
Hit into a line drive double play.

1489
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:17,000
Chris Shambliss making the play, taking a double away from him in the second inning.

1490
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:20,000
Austin will force score to run and fly to left.

1491
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:22,000
Takes the first pitch outside, ball one.

1492
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:24,000
Left-handed hitter.

1493
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:26,000
Sharp 1 for 3 yesterday.

1494
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:30,000
So 1 for 6 thus far in this series.

1495
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:32,000
Getaway day tomorrow afternoon.

1496
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:35,000
The Yankees and the Brewers.

1497
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:37,000
And the 1-0 pitch down low.

1498
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:48,000
Ball two.

1499
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:52,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1500
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:53,000
To Bill Sharp.

1501
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:54,000
And the pitch.

1502
01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:55,000
Bounce to second.

1503
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:56,000
Two hops.

1504
01:33:56,000 --> 01:33:57,000
Randolph loves it.

1505
01:33:57,000 --> 01:33:58,000
Goes on to Shambliss.

1506
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:00,000
The side retires.

1507
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:02,000
But not before eight Brewers come to the plate.

1508
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:05,000
Milwaukee picks up three runs.

1509
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:07,000
There were three base sets.

1510
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:09,000
There was one Yankee error.

1511
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:11,000
And two men left on base.

1512
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:22,000
So through six innings of play, the score of the Brewers 6 and the Yankees nothing.

1513
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:25,000
Censor off for Frank Messer, Phil Rizzuto, and Bill White.

1514
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:29,000
We've gone six Yankees trailing by a score of 6 to nothing.

1515
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:31,000
And joining me in the broadcasting booth right now,

1516
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:33,000
Bill White.

1517
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:35,000
Bill, leave a couple of runs.

1518
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:36,000
Yes, they do, Spencer.

1519
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:40,000
And Willie Randolph will try to get something started here in the top of the seventh.

1520
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:43,000
Yankees down six nothing to the Milwaukee Brewers.

1521
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:44,000
Willie Randolph is in.

1522
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:45,000
He's struck out.

1523
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:46,000
He's lying to left field.

1524
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:47,000
He's 0 for two.

1525
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:49,000
The pitch to him is a little bit high of all.

1526
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:53,000
Ed Rodriguez, who came on last inning in relief of Bill Travers in there now,

1527
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:58,000
against Willie Randolph.

1528
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:02,000
The pitch is in a called strike.

1529
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:04,000
And the Brewers have made a defensive change.

1530
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:08,000
Gorman Thomas out in center field moving six stole less, can't hold it left.

1531
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:12,000
Down low the next pitch, and it skips pass porter.

1532
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:18,000
And it's two balls and a strike on Randolph.

1533
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:22,000
We'll have Randolph, Fred Stanley, and Mickey Rivers for the Yankees

1534
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:24,000
against Ed Rodriguez.

1535
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:33,000
Check swing is high, it's three and one now on Willie Randolph.

1536
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:39,000
We've got a pitcher, it looks like, on deck to bat for Fred Stanley, Spencer.

1537
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:42,000
High ball for Randolph walks.

1538
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:49,000
And Oscar Gamble will bat for Fred Stanley.

1539
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:52,000
Alex Gramis didn't waste much time pulling Bill Travers out of the ball game

1540
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:54,000
the way Dempsey was hitting the baseball again.

1541
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:59,000
Well, not only that, you know, Gramis was third base coach for Sparky Anderson

1542
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:00,000
over at Cincinnati.

1543
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:04,000
And Sparky Anderson didn't let his starting pitcher stay around too long either,

1544
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:06,000
so he probably picked that up from Sparky.

1545
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:11,000
He wants a fresh arm in there all the time.

1546
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:15,000
Here's Gamble, he picked up a couple of hits in the opener on Thursday.

1547
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:19,000
The set now by Rodriguez and the pitch, the check swing is down low ball.

1548
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:23,000
Scott playing behind Randolph at first base.

1549
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:26,000
With the top of the seventh, the Brewers lead the Yankees six to nothing.

1550
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:30,000
Randolph at first base, no outs.

1551
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:33,000
Now the set, the check of the runner, and the 1-0 pitch.

1552
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:38,000
It's in there on the outside corner called strike one ball and one strike on Oscar Gamble.

1553
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:40,000
They're playing Gamble straight away in the outfield.

1554
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:45,000
Infield back looking for two, that's Money at third, Yonk the shortstop.

1555
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:49,000
Garcia at second, Scott playing behind Randolph at first.

1556
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:56,000
The next delivery, too high this time, two and one.

1557
01:36:56,000 --> 01:37:02,000
Brewers have six runs on 12 hits, the Yankees no runs on four.

1558
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:05,000
Now the set, and the two-one delivery.

1559
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:12,000
Swung on and missed, it's two balls and two strikes on Gamble.

1560
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:22,000
Alex Grams was telling me he was happy to see Gamble get that haircut because he couldn't understand how a helmet could help him on his head prior to this.

1561
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:24,000
Here's the two-two pitch.

1562
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:27,000
Swung on, bounced forward first, off the glove of Scott out of the right field.

1563
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:36,000
Around second base and going to third is Randolph and going into second base standing up is Oscar Gamble and the Yankees have a little life here in the top of the seventh.

1564
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:37,000
Give Gamble a double.

1565
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:43,000
Let's take 15 seconds for station identification on the New York Yankee Home of Champions Radio Network.

1566
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:48,000
WMCA, soft communications in New York.

1567
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:49,000
I'm the on-going.

1568
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:52,000
Text me on the weekend, Saturday and Sunday, 4 p.m. until 8.

1569
01:37:52,000 --> 01:38:04,000
And we'd like to say hello to Mr. Adrian Frazier, General Manager of WMCA Radio in Mustena, New York.

1570
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:11,000
WMSA in Mustena.

1571
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:14,000
MCA, that's our top station, right?

1572
01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:16,000
So hi to Adrian Frazier.

1573
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:19,000
Hope you all appear and join Yankee baseball.

1574
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:22,000
Of course, that double by Gamble will make you enjoy it a little bit more.

1575
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:24,000
We have runners at second and third, nobody out.

1576
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:25,000
Here's Mickey Rivers.

1577
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:28,000
He's popped up, flying out and bouncing to a four-side.

1578
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:32,000
Brewers have their infield back except for the third baseman, Don Money.

1579
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:35,000
He's weighing on the grass as Rodriguez sets.

1580
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:38,000
The pitch is swung on a bit.

1581
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:40,000
We're in the top of the seventh.

1582
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:42,000
The Brewers lead the Yankees six to nothing.

1583
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:45,000
Yankees have runners at second and third, nobody out.

1584
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:50,000
On deck is Roy White.

1585
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:52,000
Rodriguez taking a lot of time.

1586
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:54,000
Now he looks in his quarter.

1587
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:56,000
Doesn't like the sign.

1588
01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:57,000
Still looking.

1589
01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:59,000
Shakes another one off.

1590
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:01,000
Now he sets.

1591
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:02,000
And the one-strike pitch.

1592
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:04,000
Swung on it on the ground a second.

1593
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:05,000
A runner scored.

1594
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:06,000
Garcia digs it up.

1595
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:07,000
Goes on the first base.

1596
01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:08,000
Rivers is out.

1597
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:10,000
But Randolph scores.

1598
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:19,000
Gamble goes on the third base and the Yankees get on the board for the first time in, let's see, 16 innings.

1599
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:21,000
So it's 6-1 Brewers now.

1600
01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:24,000
Gamble at third base and the batter is Roy White.

1601
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:29,000
You know, a lot of times, Spencer, once you get that first run, the floodgates seem to open and everything's easy from then on in.

1602
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:34,000
So when I was talking about that, you begin to think, am I ever going to get one?

1603
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:36,000
And the Yankees were wondering a little bit.

1604
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:38,000
They're on the board now.

1605
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:40,000
And the pitcher White is in there for a called strike.

1606
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:41,000
Gamble down at third base.

1607
01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:42,000
Infield back once again.

1608
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:44,000
Money the third baseman, though, is even at third base.

1609
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:46,000
Outfield straight away.

1610
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:49,000
The next delivery to White.

1611
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:51,000
Called strike to a good breaking ball.

1612
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:52,000
Knee high on the inside corner.

1613
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:54,000
White is struck out.

1614
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:55,000
He's got an infield in.

1615
01:39:55,000 --> 01:39:56,000
He's stolen the base.

1616
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:57,000
Knee single to left field.

1617
01:39:57,000 --> 01:39:59,000
So he's two for three.

1618
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:03,000
He has two of the Yankees' five base hits.

1619
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:04,000
Here's a wind.

1620
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:06,000
And the two-strike pitch.

1621
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:07,000
Breaking ball.

1622
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:08,000
Luke to right field.

1623
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:09,000
That's going to be in for a base hit.

1624
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:10,000
Gamble will score easily.

1625
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:13,000
And White will hold at first base.

1626
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:17,000
And the Brewers now lead the Yankees six to two.

1627
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:19,000
And beginning to happen.

1628
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:26,000
Bill, correcting this assumption, when you're going well, you grab the bat and say, let me get up there and hit.

1629
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:30,000
When you're not going well, you grab the bat and you say, wait a second.

1630
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:32,000
What's he going to throw at me now?

1631
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:33,000
Yeah.

1632
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:35,000
A little hesitant.

1633
01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:36,000
Here's Munson.

1634
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:38,000
Thurman looking for his first base hit.

1635
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:39,000
He's over seven.

1636
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:41,000
So far, he was over four on the opener.

1637
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:42,000
He's bounced to short.

1638
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:45,000
Flied to third field twice here in the second game.

1639
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:46,000
What's my mean opener?

1640
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:50,000
When I say opener, I mean the opener back on Thursday.

1641
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:51,000
Pitch to Thurman.

1642
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:52,000
Too high a ball.

1643
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:58,000
Backs him out of there.

1644
01:40:58,000 --> 01:41:01,000
White at first base with one out.

1645
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:03,000
Top half of the seventh inning.

1646
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:05,000
Yankees scored twice here in the seventh.

1647
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:07,000
But the Brewers lead at six to two.

1648
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:09,000
Now Munson wants to look at the baseball.

1649
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:15,000
And George Maloney will throw it out.

1650
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:20,000
Brewer Enfield back looking for two with Scott holding on White.

1651
01:41:20,000 --> 01:41:22,000
Now they're set by Rodriguez.

1652
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:24,000
And the one-oh pitch to Munson.

1653
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:27,000
Swung on and fouled back out of play.

1654
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:36,000
And it's a ball on the strike.

1655
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:38,000
See, Boston leading Baltimore one to nothing,

1656
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:42,000
but they've used a couple of pitchers in that eighth inning.

1657
01:41:42,000 --> 01:41:44,000
Rick Wise started.

1658
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:46,000
House came on.

1659
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:48,000
Now they've got another pitcher in there.

1660
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:50,000
One-one pitch to Munson.

1661
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:51,000
Hit deep to left.

1662
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:52,000
More going back.

1663
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:54,000
That ball is out of here.

1664
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:56,000
Home run for Thurman Munson.

1665
01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:58,000
And the Brewers now lead six to four.

1666
01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:03,000
A two-run home run for Thurman Munson.

1667
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:06,000
And that's his first base hit of the year.

1668
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:08,000
A Getty Round Tripper for Thurman Munson.

1669
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:13,000
A drive over the 362-foot marker in left field.

1670
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:15,000
And for his Getty Round Tripper,

1671
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:17,000
Thurman Munson receives Getty gift certificate.

1672
01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:20,000
Good towards the purchase of Getty premiums.

1673
01:42:20,000 --> 01:42:23,000
The gasoline that, according to a recent survey,

1674
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:26,000
sells from two to two and a half cents less per gallon

1675
01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:28,000
than most other major premiums.

1676
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:31,000
Getty's got what's best for your car.

1677
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:33,000
And that may be all.

1678
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:37,000
It's going to be all for Ed Rodriguez,

1679
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:41,000
who comes up with a rather inauspicious debut in this 1976 season.

1680
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:44,000
The Yankees right back in the ball game.

1681
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:49,000
A two-run homer by Thurman Munson.

1682
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:52,000
First base hit of the year.

1683
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:59,000
So Thurman Munson getting a fastball

1684
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:02,000
and driving it deep into the seats in left field.

1685
01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:04,000
Of course, that wind's blowing out that way.

1686
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:06,000
The left fielder, 6-0 Lescano, started back,

1687
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:08,000
but he had no chance at all

1688
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:12,000
as it went about ten rows back over the 362 mark.

1689
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:14,000
Munson, as Spencer mentioned to you,

1690
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:17,000
with his first base and his first runs back at the end of the year,

1691
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:20,000
and the Brewers now, their lead has been cut to two runs.

1692
01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:22,000
Seventh base hit for the Yankees.

1693
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:24,000
Who's the pitcher, Spencer?

1694
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:26,000
It might be Jerry Augustine.

1695
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:31,000
He's coming in the automobile right now.

1696
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:33,000
It's hard to tear through the windshield,

1697
01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:36,000
but I believe it's Augustine.

1698
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:41,000
And he will face Chris Shamblin.

1699
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:48,000
Yankees had trouble with Bill Travers.

1700
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:51,000
And Rodriguez came on in the bottom of the sixth

1701
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:54,000
to get Dempsey with the bases loaded.

1702
01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:57,000
But here, the Yanks have scored four runs.

1703
01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:02,000
Jerry Augustine comes into pitch now for the Milwaukee Brewers

1704
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:07,000
in the bottom half of this, in the top half of this seventh inning.

1705
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:10,000
Third pitcher of the afternoon for the Brewers.

1706
01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:12,000
And we got a ball game, will you?

1707
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:13,000
Oh, yeah.

1708
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:15,000
You know, it's bound to break open sometime.

1709
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:17,000
Yankees lost five-nothing in the opener,

1710
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:20,000
and they hit the ball hard here early against Bill Travers.

1711
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:22,000
Of course, the Brewers ran them down.

1712
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:26,000
Dempsey had a couple of balls hard.

1713
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:28,000
Randolph hit a ball hard.

1714
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:31,000
So the hits are beginning to fall over the Yankees.

1715
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:33,000
Milwaukee's still leading six to four.

1716
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:36,000
Plenty of time left as left-hander Jerry Augustine

1717
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:39,000
now out taking his warm-up throw.

1718
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:41,000
He came to the Brewers in September,

1719
01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:44,000
and he won his first start in the major leagues

1720
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:46,000
against the New York Yankees.

1721
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:48,000
That came on September 16th.

1722
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:52,000
Finished with a 2-0 record and earned an average of 3.04.

1723
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:57,000
Only 23 years of age, he's a left-hander.

1724
01:44:57,000 --> 01:45:00,000
Brewers had counted on him a bit earlier in the season.

1725
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:04,000
He suffered a knee injury in spring training

1726
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:08,000
and wound up missing the first two months of the season.

1727
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:10,000
He's a left-hander Jerry Augustine.

1728
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:15,000
It is now a two-run ball game, and Chris Shambliss

1729
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:17,000
will be coming to the plate.

1730
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:19,000
Lundsen just got off the Schneid.

1731
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:21,000
Let's see what Chris can do.

1732
01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:24,000
All right, Benson, we like to tell the Mr. Bob Rogers

1733
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:29,000
of WJJL Radio in Niagara Falls

1734
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:31,000
on our Yankee Radio Network.

1735
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:32,000
Here's Shambliss.

1736
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:34,000
He's flying the center field, struck out,

1737
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:39,000
so he's 0 for 3.

1738
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:41,000
First pitch to Chris.

1739
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:42,000
Breaking ball is outside.

1740
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:43,000
A ball.

1741
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:44,000
One out, nobody on.

1742
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:46,000
Brewers lead 6-4.

1743
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:48,000
We're in the top of the seventh.

1744
01:45:48,000 --> 01:45:51,000
Yankees have exploded here in the seventh inning for four runs,

1745
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:54,000
including the two-run home run by Thurmond.

1746
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:56,000
Augustine misses again outside.

1747
01:45:56,000 --> 01:45:58,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1748
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:02,000
Baltimore leading Boston 5-1 after 8.

1749
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:04,000
That's why they used all those pitchers.

1750
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:07,000
Willoughby had come on.

1751
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:09,000
Two-hole pitch, one hopper to the shortstop.

1752
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:10,000
Grabbed by Yacht.

1753
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:11,000
Good hand.

1754
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:12,000
Good throw to first base.

1755
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:13,000
Shambliss is out.

1756
01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:18,000
Two away.

1757
01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:20,000
Here's Lou Pennella, the right fielder.

1758
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:22,000
He's bounced the short, bounced up the middle,

1759
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:25,000
and single to center field.

1760
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:26,000
Bounce went up the middle.

1761
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:28,000
The Travers got his glove on.

1762
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:38,000
Garcia got it behind second and made the force a second.

1763
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:39,000
No, check that.

1764
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:41,000
Pennella bounced the short, walked intentionally,

1765
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:43,000
and single to center field.

1766
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:45,000
The play was made on nettles on a bounce out of the middle.

1767
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:48,000
A good play by Garcia.

1768
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:49,000
Down low to Pennella.

1769
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:53,000
One ball, no strikes.

1770
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:55,000
They play Pennella straight away.

1771
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:57,000
Bill Sharp not too deep in right field.

1772
01:46:57,000 --> 01:46:58,000
Third ball, looped up the middle.

1773
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:00,000
Base hit.

1774
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:01,000
Out of reach of the shortstop, Yonah.

1775
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:03,000
Quickly, Gorman Thomas, the center fielder,

1776
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:06,000
and Pennella will hold at first base.

1777
01:47:06,000 --> 01:47:08,000
So Lou Pennella at first base with his second base

1778
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:09,000
into the ball game.

1779
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:10,000
They're two men out.

1780
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:15,000
And the batter, Greg Nettles, the Yankee third baseman.

1781
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:18,000
Nettles has struck out, bounced into a force out,

1782
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:22,000
and he's walked, so he's over two.

1783
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:25,000
Augustine, the third pitcher used by the Milwaukee Brewers.

1784
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:27,000
Left-hander Bill Travers started.

1785
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:28,000
He went five and two-thirds.

1786
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:30,000
Ed Rodriguez came on fish two-thirds.

1787
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:34,000
Now it's Jerry Augustine, who sets kicks and deals to Nettles.

1788
01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:40,000
Curve ball, it's swung on him.

1789
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:42,000
Now George Scott, the first baseman,

1790
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:46,000
saying something to Pedro Garcia at second.

1791
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:50,000
And Garcia moves a couple of steps back on the grass.

1792
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:52,000
Now the one strike fish to Nettles.

1793
01:47:52,000 --> 01:48:00,000
That's a fast ball in the dirt, it's a ball that strikes.

1794
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:02,000
Dick Hauser, the Yankee third base coach.

1795
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:05,000
Ellie Howard, the Yankee first base coach.

1796
01:48:05,000 --> 01:48:07,000
With that and a little more action here in the second game

1797
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:12,000
of this set than in the first game.

1798
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:15,000
Here's a 1-1 pitch now to Nettles.

1799
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:20,000
Outside low, two balls and a strike.

1800
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:23,000
Brewers scored a run on the fourth, added two more on the fifth,

1801
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:27,000
three in the sixth, and they took a six-to-nothing lead into the seventh.

1802
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:31,000
Yankees scored four times here in the seventh inning.

1803
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:33,000
Two-one delivery.

1804
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:34,000
Nettles takes outside.

1805
01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:38,000
Ball three, it's three and one.

1806
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:45,000
Rick Dempsey's on deck.

1807
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:48,000
We've got action out in the bullpen for the Milwaukee Brewers.

1808
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:51,000
It's a bullpen is hitting, but it's a right-hander.

1809
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:54,000
Looks like Murphy might be out there throwing.

1810
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:57,000
Nettles bounces one foul outside of first base.

1811
01:48:57,000 --> 01:48:59,000
And the count is full.

1812
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:02,000
Bonilla halfway down to second, we'll have to go back to first.

1813
01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:09,000
So he'll be off and running with the three-two count and two outs.

1814
01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:17,000
They'll play eight in Cleveland, and the Tigers lead Cleveland three to one.

1815
01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:20,000
The Phillies tied up 4-4 after that.

1816
01:49:20,000 --> 01:49:21,000
Here's the payoff pitch, not a Nettles.

1817
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:23,000
The runner's going, the pitch is in.

1818
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:25,000
Nope, just hit his bat and caught by Porter.

1819
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:26,000
He's out.

1820
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:27,000
Nettles strikes out.

1821
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:30,000
Greg's got it out of the way of ball inside and hit his bat.

1822
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:32,000
Porter grabs it.

1823
01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:33,000
So Nettles strikes out.

1824
01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:37,000
Yankees four four times here in the seventh inning.

1825
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:41,000
On one, two, three, four base hits, they leave a man on base.

1826
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:47,000
So the bottom half of the seventh inning, the Brewers six, the Yankees four.

1827
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:50,000
Jim Mason moves to shortstop for the New York Yankees,

1828
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:53,000
replacing Fred Stanley who left for a pinch hitter.

1829
01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:55,000
Yankees trail it by a score of six-four.

1830
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:57,000
We go to the bottom of the seventh.

1831
01:49:57,000 --> 01:50:00,000
Elsewhere in the American League now, eight innings complete.

1832
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:02,000
Baltimore five, Boston one.

1833
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:06,000
Cleveland trailing Detroit three-one as they go eight innings.

1834
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:08,000
And now that is a primal.

1835
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:12,000
Baltimore beats Boston by a score of five to one.

1836
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:15,000
Leorio's getting five runs in the eighth inning to do it.

1837
01:50:15,000 --> 01:50:17,000
And here's Robin Yantz to lead it off for the Brewers.

1838
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:18,000
Here's Bill.

1839
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:19,000
All right, Spencer.

1840
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:21,000
Yantz so far in the game is two for three, both singles.

1841
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:23,000
One's to left center and the other in the center field.

1842
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:25,000
He's also bounced back to the mound.

1843
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:28,000
How's Tidrow's pitch back and into the screen?

1844
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:31,000
No balls and a strike.

1845
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:34,000
Down the bottom part of the Brewer batting order, Robin Yantz,

1846
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:38,000
Pedro Garcia, and Charlie Moore.

1847
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:40,000
Tidrow's next delivery.

1848
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:51,000
Breaking ball on the inside corner to call strike two.

1849
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:54,000
Six to four Brewers, bottom of the seventh.

1850
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:56,000
Tidrow's two-strike delivery.

1851
01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:58,000
Just misses outside.

1852
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:02,000
One and two.

1853
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:05,000
And we've got a note that Ron Bloomberg has been placed on the

1854
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:10,000
21-day disabled list, effective the 8th of April.

1855
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:11,000
Swing and a miss.

1856
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:13,000
Yantz goes down swinging, went away.

1857
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:16,000
So that's not good news at all, Spencer.

1858
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:19,000
No, speaking of the Boomer here, it's Thursday, and he was just so down,

1859
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:20,000
so disappointed.

1860
01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:23,000
He was looking forward to this season, hoping he could help the Yankees

1861
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:26,000
after last year's injury problems.

1862
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:28,000
And just want to wish him the best of luck.

1863
01:51:28,000 --> 01:51:31,000
He'll be heading out, I believe, to Los Angeles to see Dr. Curlin,

1864
01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:34,000
the gentleman who treated Sandy Koufax through all those years,

1865
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:38,000
and hope he can get the Boomer back quickly.

1866
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:40,000
Here's Pedro Garcia.

1867
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:44,000
He's fouled out, doubled in a run, got on on an error in the sixth inning

1868
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:47,000
and scored.

1869
01:51:47,000 --> 01:51:50,000
Garcia bats right in.

1870
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:51,000
One for three.

1871
01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:55,000
Tidrow's first pitch is printed down the third-base side, but it's fouled.

1872
01:51:55,000 --> 01:51:58,000
Nettles lets it go, grabs it in foul territory.

1873
01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:03,000
No balls and a strike.

1874
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:11,000
The Brewers lead it 6-4 when the bottom of the seventh went out, nobody on.

1875
01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:14,000
Tidrow, the third hurler used by the Yankees, Ed Figueroa started.

1876
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:19,000
He went five in the third, gave up six runs, five of those earned on 11 hits.

1877
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:22,000
Tippie Martinez came on and struck out Darryl Porter.

1878
01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:23,000
Then Dick Tidrow came on.

1879
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:25,000
He's still in there.

1880
01:52:25,000 --> 01:52:27,000
Tidrow came on on the sixth.

1881
01:52:27,000 --> 01:52:30,000
Outside, a ball to strike on Garcia.

1882
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:32,000
Nettles guarding the line at third base.

1883
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:37,000
Mason, the new shortstop playing in the hole, they play Garcia to pull.

1884
01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:39,000
White deep in the corner and lets field.

1885
01:52:39,000 --> 01:52:40,000
Tidrow winds.

1886
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:42,000
Kick steals the 1-1 pitch.

1887
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:45,000
Swung on and fouled back.

1888
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:46,000
One ball, two strikes.

1889
01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:50,000
You know, Bill, Mickey Rivers plays the center field position

1890
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:52,000
kind of like Dominic DiMaggio did.

1891
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:56,000
He kind of flanks to the side instead of facing straight up.

1892
01:52:56,000 --> 01:53:02,000
That's the whole point.

1893
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:06,000
One ball, two strikes to count on Pedro Garcia.

1894
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:09,000
Tidrow now rocking, kicking, dealing the 1-2 pitch.

1895
01:53:09,000 --> 01:53:11,000
Swung on and fouled off.

1896
01:53:11,000 --> 01:53:14,000
Off the shin guard to Rick Dempsey.

1897
01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:17,000
Grabbed by the home plate on par, George Maloney looks at it

1898
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:21,000
and gives it back to Dempsey who flips it back to Tidrow.

1899
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:25,000
The count remains, a ball and two strikes.

1900
01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:27,000
You know, they changed the weather forecast.

1901
01:53:27,000 --> 01:53:29,000
We're not going to get snow, Bill.

1902
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:31,000
How about the cold weather?

1903
01:53:31,000 --> 01:53:33,000
It's going to be about 50 tomorrow, maybe a little bit of rain.

1904
01:53:33,000 --> 01:53:37,000
It won't be bad.

1905
01:53:37,000 --> 01:53:39,000
Here's Tidrow's 1-2 delivery to Garcia.

1906
01:53:39,000 --> 01:53:41,000
Swung on, popped up, shallow left.

1907
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:43,000
Mason going back near the line, waiting.

1908
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:49,000
And the shortstop puts it away for out number two.

1909
01:53:49,000 --> 01:53:55,000
With two outs and no body on, we'll get Gorman Thomas.

1910
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:58,000
Thomas went into the ball game for defensive purposes

1911
01:53:58,000 --> 01:53:59,000
in the sixth inning.

1912
01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:02,000
He went into play center field, and the six-to-less Donald

1913
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:04,000
moved from center field to left field.

1914
01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:13,000
So Gorman Thomas is up.

1915
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:15,000
Big right-handed hitter.

1916
01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:16,000
Tidrow's first delivery.

1917
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:19,000
Chuck Swing bounced back to the screen.

1918
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:22,000
No balls and a strike.

1919
01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:24,000
Brewers have six runs on 12 hits.

1920
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:26,000
The Yankees four runs on eight hits,

1921
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:29,000
including the two-run homer by Thurman Munson,

1922
01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:33,000
where the bottom of the seventh, two outs and no body on.

1923
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:44,000
Fast ball is inside and lower ball and a strike on Thomas.

1924
01:54:44,000 --> 01:54:47,000
Tidrow is taking a lot of time reading Dempsey's signs.

1925
01:54:47,000 --> 01:54:49,000
Now he rocks and deals.

1926
01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:59,000
Curve ball swung on and missed, one and two.

1927
01:54:59,000 --> 01:55:06,000
Now Thomas backs out, gets back in.

1928
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:08,000
And Tidrow is one-two delivery.

1929
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:13,000
Swung on, Luke fouled into the seats down the left side.

1930
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:15,000
And the count remains one and two.

1931
01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:20,000
Tidrow came sidearm and jammed Thomas.

1932
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:25,000
44,000 Brewer fans were here a Thursday afternoon.

1933
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:28,000
They've got about 10 or 12 here this afternoon.

1934
01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:31,000
Final game of the set will be tomorrow.

1935
01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:34,000
They're expecting a good crowd tomorrow afternoon.

1936
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:36,000
Well, they should be a little better after a year

1937
01:55:36,000 --> 01:55:38,000
of this revised weather forecast.

1938
01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:40,000
They thought it was going to snow.

1939
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:43,000
One-two pitch now to Thomas.

1940
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:45,000
Luke's in the shallow center.

1941
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:46,000
It's going to be trouble.

1942
01:55:46,000 --> 01:55:48,000
Panela's after still digging and he can't get to it.

1943
01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:49,000
Ball's in front of him.

1944
01:55:49,000 --> 01:55:52,000
And Thomas with a wide turn at first base will go back there

1945
01:55:52,000 --> 01:55:54,000
as Panela gets the ball back in.

1946
01:55:54,000 --> 01:55:58,000
So Gorman Thomas has just picked up the Brewers' 13th base.

1947
01:55:58,000 --> 01:56:01,000
He's at first base with two outs.

1948
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:08,000
And the batter will be Don Money, the third baseman.

1949
01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:09,000
Money has struck out.

1950
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:12,000
He has singled a left, bounced into a four south,

1951
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:22,000
and he got an infield hit and scored in the sixth inning.

1952
01:56:22,000 --> 01:56:23,000
He was two for four in the opener,

1953
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:25,000
and he's two for four this afternoon.

1954
01:56:25,000 --> 01:56:30,000
So he's four for eight against Yankee pitcher.

1955
01:56:30,000 --> 01:56:31,000
Right-handed batter.

1956
01:56:31,000 --> 01:56:34,000
Likes the ball up, likes the ball straight.

1957
01:56:34,000 --> 01:56:36,000
Gidros sets and the pitch.

1958
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:40,000
In the air, two shallow lefts that are white coming on,

1959
01:56:40,000 --> 01:56:42,000
crawling now, waiting.

1960
01:56:42,000 --> 01:56:45,000
He's got it for out number three.

1961
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:47,000
No runs on a base hit and the Brewers leave a man.

1962
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:51,000
We'll play seven and the score, the Milwaukee Brewers six,

1963
01:56:51,000 --> 01:56:53,000
the New York Yankees four.

1964
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:55,000
The Brewers leave the Yankees six to four,

1965
01:56:55,000 --> 01:56:58,000
and here to see if they can keep this Yankee rally going,

1966
01:56:58,000 --> 01:56:59,000
Spencer Ross.

1967
01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:00,000
Okay, Bill, you got us four.

1968
01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:02,000
And it's six-four now.

1969
01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:06,000
The Yankees are behind with two more opportunities,

1970
01:57:06,000 --> 01:57:10,000
and Jerry Augustine on the mound for the Milwaukee Brewers.

1971
01:57:10,000 --> 01:57:13,000
Third pitcher of the afternoon for Milwaukee.

1972
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:17,000
Augustine came on following Thurman Munson's two-run home on the left,

1973
01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:22,000
which made it a six-four ball game.

1974
01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:25,000
There was just one out in that seventh inning.

1975
01:57:25,000 --> 01:57:30,000
Yankees unable to muster anything else, and Rick Dempsey lead it off.

1976
01:57:30,000 --> 01:57:37,000
He has hit the ball hard on all three occasions, each time to each outfielder.

1977
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:43,000
Line drive to center, line drive to right, and line drive to left.

1978
01:57:43,000 --> 01:57:52,000
So he's 0 for three, and Rick 0 for six in the two games of the set thus far.

1979
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:58,000
Open to California just underway, Vita Blue pitching for the A's,

1980
01:57:58,000 --> 01:58:02,000
and no score in that ball game after one inning of play.

1981
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:04,000
California pitching Nolan Ryan.

1982
01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:07,000
Detroit beating Cleveland this afternoon.

1983
01:58:07,000 --> 01:58:11,000
That's a final now, 3-1, Joe Coleman beating Dennis Eckersley.

1984
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:15,000
The two finals in the American League, Baltimore 5, Boston 1,

1985
01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:18,000
Kenny Holzman winning it for the Orioles,

1986
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:21,000
and they got five in the eighth to take the decision.

1987
01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:25,000
Detroit 3-1 over Cleveland, and Oakland to California just getting underway.

1988
01:58:25,000 --> 01:58:29,000
In the National League, the Mets got a shutout pitching performance from John Matlack at Shea,

1989
01:58:29,000 --> 01:58:33,000
and beat Montreal and Woody Priman by a score of 1-0,

1990
01:58:33,000 --> 01:58:36,000
the game's lone run coming in the fourth inning.

1991
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:42,000
Pittsburgh at Philadelphia, the Phillies got three in the bottom half of the fifth inning.

1992
01:58:42,000 --> 01:58:45,000
Pittsburgh out in front of that ball game now, 4-3,

1993
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:49,000
with the Phillies batting in the bottom half of inning number seven.

1994
01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:51,000
Check that, it's a 4-4 ball game now.

1995
01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:56,000
Rick Dempsey steps to the plate for the New York Yankees as we go to the top of the eighth

1996
01:58:56,000 --> 01:58:59,000
to face Jerry Augustine.

1997
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:07,000
Don Money now protecting the line down at third base, first pitch down low ball one.

1998
01:59:07,000 --> 01:59:13,000
It'll be Dempsey, Willie Randolph, and shortstop Jim Mason.

1999
01:59:13,000 --> 01:59:18,000
Pitch line right to Robin Yacht for the out.

2000
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:24,000
And for the fourth time, Rick Dempsey getting good wood on the baseball.

2001
01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:31,000
For the fourth time, not making the fielder move, hitting it right at him.

2002
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:38,000
And that, of course, a frustrating afternoon for Rick Dempsey.

2003
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:42,000
Getting an opportunity to play with Thurman Munson suffering from the dislocated finger,

2004
01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:45,000
hitting the ball well each time, right at a fielder.

2005
01:59:45,000 --> 01:59:50,000
Willie Randolph, the batter, swings at the first pitch, bounces his foul down the third base line,

2006
01:59:50,000 --> 01:59:56,000
where it's glove by, well, that glove is handled by a pretty good feeling shortstop in his day,

2007
01:59:56,000 --> 02:00:05,000
Dick Houser, Kansas City, and the Yankees.

2008
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:09,000
They put the lights on here in Milwaukee, pitched to Randolph, flung on,

2009
02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:15,000
flied away at the plate up to the screen, and a count-oh and two.

2010
02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:23,000
Willie Randolph, and I don't know if Les moves out in the on-deck circle.

2011
02:00:23,000 --> 02:00:29,000
He will undoubtedly be the pinch hitter for Jim Mason.

2012
02:00:29,000 --> 02:00:34,000
And the oh-two pitch inside ball one, one and two to Randolph.

2013
02:00:34,000 --> 02:00:41,000
Willie Zolper two struck out, flied to left, walked and scored a run.

2014
02:00:41,000 --> 02:00:46,000
Curve ball breaks low and inside ball two, two and two.

2015
02:00:46,000 --> 02:00:51,000
They play Willie straight away.

2016
02:00:51,000 --> 02:00:54,000
Two-two pitch inside ball three.

2017
02:00:54,000 --> 02:01:00,000
Augustine went out in front of Randolph, oh and two, the count now goes full.

2018
02:01:00,000 --> 02:01:04,000
The Yankees looking for a base runner.

2019
02:01:04,000 --> 02:01:10,000
Three-two pitch bounce from the hole to his right goes Yacht, long throw to first inside.

2020
02:01:10,000 --> 02:01:17,000
Robin Yacht going to his right and throwing out Willie Randolph, and they're a two away.

2021
02:01:17,000 --> 02:01:26,000
And it will bring up Otto Velez as a pinch hitter for Jim Mason.

2022
02:01:26,000 --> 02:01:33,000
This is Otto's first appearance of the 1976 season.

2023
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:36,000
We have two men out.

2024
02:01:36,000 --> 02:01:46,000
Otto hit the ball very well this spring.

2025
02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:53,000
Right-handed hitter, Jerry Augustine, wheels and deals inside ball one.

2026
02:01:53,000 --> 02:01:58,000
The Syracuse last year hit two fifties.

2027
02:01:58,000 --> 02:02:01,000
Played points in the last three seasons with the Yankees.

2028
02:02:01,000 --> 02:02:05,000
The pitch, big cut, big swing, big strike.

2029
02:02:05,000 --> 02:02:10,000
And it's one and one.

2030
02:02:10,000 --> 02:02:13,000
The fielder, six throw, Liscano playing deep and toward the line.

2031
02:02:13,000 --> 02:02:16,000
And a one-one pitch by Augustine, low and inside ball two.

2032
02:02:16,000 --> 02:02:19,000
Jerry Augustine working very quickly.

2033
02:02:19,000 --> 02:02:25,000
Twenty-three-year-old left-hander, rubs up the baseball.

2034
02:02:25,000 --> 02:02:31,000
Dips his cap, gets the sign from Porter, two-one pitch, check swing, outside ball three.

2035
02:02:31,000 --> 02:02:34,000
Three and one to Velez.

2036
02:02:34,000 --> 02:02:41,000
The Yankee leadoff hitter, Mickey Rivers on deck.

2037
02:02:41,000 --> 02:02:46,000
Velez checks down for the sign from third base coach Dick Houser.

2038
02:02:46,000 --> 02:02:49,000
And here comes the three-winner.

2039
02:02:49,000 --> 02:02:53,000
Fastball right down the pipe, three-two.

2040
02:02:53,000 --> 02:02:58,000
Three and two to Otto Velez with two outs in the top of the eighth.

2041
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:00,000
And the pitch popped up into the air.

2042
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:02,000
George Scott moves back into the grass.

2043
02:03:02,000 --> 02:03:07,000
Second baseman Garcia waves him off, under it and he one-hands it for the out.

2044
02:03:07,000 --> 02:03:13,000
The wind began to pull that ball a bit to the left, but Garcia stayed with it for the third out.

2045
02:03:13,000 --> 02:03:18,000
The Yankees in the eighth inning, nothing across, no runs, no hits, no errors.

2046
02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:20,000
There was nobody left on base through seven and a half.

2047
02:03:20,000 --> 02:03:23,000
It's the Brewers six and the Yankees four.

2048
02:03:23,000 --> 02:03:27,000
George Scott checks swing, pops it up down the first baseline in foul territory.

2049
02:03:27,000 --> 02:03:31,000
Chris Shambliss makes the play, one pitch, one out.

2050
02:03:31,000 --> 02:03:35,000
Here in the bottom half of the eighth inning.

2051
02:03:35,000 --> 02:03:41,000
George Scott with quite an afternoon, two for three.

2052
02:03:41,000 --> 02:03:45,000
With two RBIs and a couple of runs scored.

2053
02:03:45,000 --> 02:03:48,000
Catcher Darrell Porter now comes to the plate.

2054
02:03:48,000 --> 02:03:54,000
Porter one for three, walks, slides to right, single to center, scored a run, and took a call, third strike.

2055
02:03:54,000 --> 02:03:57,000
Nick Tidro's first pitch, bounce to the ball hole.

2056
02:03:57,000 --> 02:04:01,000
Between second and short and beyond, Randolph for a base hit.

2057
02:04:01,000 --> 02:04:04,000
Center fielder Mickey Rivers throws it back in.

2058
02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:08,000
And Darrell Porter has a second base hit of the ball game.

2059
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:11,000
A ground single to center.

2060
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:16,000
And it brings up Henry Aaron, who is at another Brewers performance.

2061
02:04:16,000 --> 02:04:22,000
Aaron two for three, bounced into a fourth, single to left, then single to center to drive home a run.

2062
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:24,000
His fourth in two ball games.

2063
02:04:24,000 --> 02:04:27,000
And he walked in the sixth inning.

2064
02:04:27,000 --> 02:04:30,000
Yankees trail, six four, we're in the bottom of the eighth.

2065
02:04:30,000 --> 02:04:36,000
Tidro to the stretch and the pitch, right foul, down the left field line into the ground.

2066
02:04:36,000 --> 02:04:45,000
Aaron ripping the baseball, but out in front of it.

2067
02:04:45,000 --> 02:04:50,000
Henry Aaron, 42 years of age.

2068
02:04:50,000 --> 02:04:57,000
The all-time major league home run hitter.

2069
02:04:57,000 --> 02:05:01,000
Nick Tidro looks in for the sign, checking Porter at first.

2070
02:05:01,000 --> 02:05:06,000
The pitch, bounce down the third baseline, just foul to the left of the bag.

2071
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:14,000
Third base up by Russ Getz, making the call. Mighty close.

2072
02:05:14,000 --> 02:05:18,000
Aaron with 745, lifetime home run.

2073
02:05:18,000 --> 02:05:24,000
His average dipped to 234 last year, 12 homers, 60 RVIs.

2074
02:05:24,000 --> 02:05:28,000
He's already got four in two days here against the Yankees.

2075
02:05:28,000 --> 02:05:37,000
Oh and two pitch coming. Change up inside, ball one, Dempsey loses control momentarily, drops the mask and picks it up.

2076
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:44,000
And Porter's not going anywhere.

2077
02:05:44,000 --> 02:05:51,000
Henry Aaron, holder of numerous records, most runs batted in a lifetime.

2078
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:54,000
Most home runs.

2079
02:05:54,000 --> 02:06:00,000
Stretched by Tidro and a one-two pitch in the inside corner, strike three call.

2080
02:06:00,000 --> 02:06:08,000
Tidro catching the corner to pick up the strikeout and predict that it's his second.

2081
02:06:08,000 --> 02:06:13,000
And it'll bring up 6'0' Escano. Escano with a two for four ball game.

2082
02:06:13,000 --> 02:06:23,000
Single the left, fly to center, hitter to a fourth play, reached on an error on that particular fourth.

2083
02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:28,000
Going to second and then single the left to drive home a run.

2084
02:06:28,000 --> 02:06:31,000
First pitch fastball outside.

2085
02:06:31,000 --> 02:06:35,000
1-0 to 6'0 Escano.

2086
02:06:35,000 --> 02:06:39,000
Darrell Porter down at first, we have two men out.

2087
02:06:39,000 --> 02:06:41,000
They're in the bottom of the eighth.

2088
02:06:41,000 --> 02:06:45,000
Yankees who are down 6-0 have cut it to 6-4.

2089
02:06:45,000 --> 02:06:50,000
Fastball inside, ball two, 2-0 to Escano.

2090
02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:56,000
Looks down to third base coach Jimmy Brake and it flashes the side.

2091
02:06:56,000 --> 02:07:03,000
They play Escano straight away and deep.

2092
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:08,000
Stretched by Tidro, 2-0 pitch, fastball on the outside corner, strike one.

2093
02:07:08,000 --> 02:07:13,000
Tidro hitting the corner as well.

2094
02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:23,000
Darrell Porter down at first, on a single to center.

2095
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:27,000
Two on pitch, take it inside, ball three.

2096
02:07:27,000 --> 02:07:31,000
Three and one now to Escano.

2097
02:07:31,000 --> 02:07:38,000
With Bill Sharp, the right fielder on deck.

2098
02:07:38,000 --> 02:07:41,000
Escano a right handed hitter.

2099
02:07:41,000 --> 02:07:46,000
Lots of twos, two balls, two strikes, two outs and the pitch.

2100
02:07:46,000 --> 02:07:48,000
That is inside ball four.

2101
02:07:48,000 --> 02:07:51,000
Scoreboard set two and two, it's three and two as I said.

2102
02:07:51,000 --> 02:07:55,000
And a base on balls issued by Dick Tidro.

2103
02:07:55,000 --> 02:08:02,000
Moving down to second is Darrell Porter and Yankee manager Billy Martin going out to the mound.

2104
02:08:02,000 --> 02:08:06,000
And with left handed hitting Bill Sharp coming to the plate,

2105
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:11,000
we may see a left handed Yankee pitcher.

2106
02:08:11,000 --> 02:08:14,000
Sparky Lyle warming up in the bullpen.

2107
02:08:14,000 --> 02:08:16,000
And that's who it's going to be.

2108
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:20,000
Sparky Lyle will come in to replace Dick Tidro.

2109
02:08:20,000 --> 02:08:25,000
Tidro came on in the sixth inning.

2110
02:08:25,000 --> 02:08:29,000
After Tippi Moore Artina has struck out Darrell Porter,

2111
02:08:29,000 --> 02:08:33,000
Martina's facing only one batter.

2112
02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:52,000
And Tidro leaves having given up one base hit to three base hits.

2113
02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:57,000
In two innings.

2114
02:08:57,000 --> 02:09:01,000
He walked one, struck out two.

2115
02:09:01,000 --> 02:09:05,000
And he is responsible for the runners on base right now.

2116
02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:10,000
Sparky Lyle, who pitched a very strong inning Thursday,

2117
02:09:10,000 --> 02:09:14,000
getting the Brewers in the eighth inning striking out two, comes on.

2118
02:09:14,000 --> 02:09:21,000
I want to say hello to some of our other stations on the New York Yankee Homa Champions Baseball Network.

2119
02:09:21,000 --> 02:09:26,000
Up in Walton, New York, Mr. Amos Finch of WDL Radio in Walton.

2120
02:09:26,000 --> 02:09:31,000
Right near Alexandria Bay, Mr. Tom Bruce of WWNY Radio.

2121
02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:35,000
Mr. Bob Klotz of WAVR Radio in Waverly.

2122
02:09:35,000 --> 02:09:41,000
And in Connecticut, in Manchester, Mr. Jeff Jacobs at WINF.

2123
02:09:41,000 --> 02:09:46,000
Up in New London, Mr. Paul Bernardo at WNLC.

2124
02:09:46,000 --> 02:09:49,000
And Mr. Fred Irwin at WATR Radio in Watertown.

2125
02:09:49,000 --> 02:09:53,000
And switching over to, in Waterbury that is,

2126
02:09:53,000 --> 02:09:58,000
switching over to Pennsylvania in Potsdam, Mr. Ralph Price of WAVT.

2127
02:09:58,000 --> 02:10:08,000
And Mr. Bob Klotz of WATS Radio in Sayre.

2128
02:10:08,000 --> 02:10:11,000
Sparky Lyle comes down for the OX.

2129
02:10:11,000 --> 02:10:21,000
Is Sparky looking for the comeback year after what was an off year for him?

2130
02:10:21,000 --> 02:10:29,000
A lot of action in the spring and pitched rather effectively for the New York Yanks.

2131
02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:33,000
Lyle, the fireman of the year in the past.

2132
02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:38,000
Last season just was not one of his better performances as he appeared in sporting games.

2133
02:10:38,000 --> 02:10:41,000
A record of five up and seven down.

2134
02:10:41,000 --> 02:10:44,000
In 89 innings he gave a 94-base hit.

2135
02:10:44,000 --> 02:10:47,000
And an earned run average of 3.13.

2136
02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:51,000
The park rifer with figures of 19.74.

2137
02:10:51,000 --> 02:10:55,000
And Sparky, 1.9, lost three.

2138
02:10:55,000 --> 02:11:00,000
And in 114 innings of pitching gave up 93 hits.

2139
02:11:00,000 --> 02:11:05,000
And an earned run average of 1.66.

2140
02:11:05,000 --> 02:11:10,000
So the left-hander Sparky Lyle brought in by manager Billy Martin

2141
02:11:10,000 --> 02:11:13,000
to face the left-hander hitting Bill Short.

2142
02:11:13,000 --> 02:11:18,000
Fourth pitcher of the afternoon for the Yanks who trail in the ballgame by a score of 6-4

2143
02:11:18,000 --> 02:11:22,000
here in the bottom of the eighth.

2144
02:11:22,000 --> 02:11:27,000
The fluttery audio has nothing to do with the duplication process.

2145
02:11:27,000 --> 02:11:32,000
It is found on the master reels.

2146
02:11:32,000 --> 02:11:37,000
Sharp in the ballgame is 0-4.

2147
02:11:37,000 --> 02:11:41,000
First pitch by Sparky breaks in strike one.

2148
02:11:41,000 --> 02:11:43,000
No balls, one strike.

2149
02:11:43,000 --> 02:11:47,000
Final from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh.

2150
02:11:47,000 --> 02:11:51,000
Got a run in the 11th to beat the Phillies by a score of 5-4.

2151
02:11:51,000 --> 02:11:53,000
Tug McGraw taking the loss.

2152
02:11:53,000 --> 02:11:54,000
Larry Demery the winner.

2153
02:11:54,000 --> 02:11:55,000
Pitch hit into the air.

2154
02:11:55,000 --> 02:11:58,000
Right field, moving her over is Luke Pennella.

2155
02:11:58,000 --> 02:12:02,000
And we're out cutting in front of him, center fielder Mickey Rivers who makes the courage.

2156
02:12:02,000 --> 02:12:05,000
And at his ovaries the center fielder's ball.

2157
02:12:05,000 --> 02:12:07,000
He owns that very story out there.

2158
02:12:07,000 --> 02:12:09,000
Rivers puts it away for the Brewers in the eighth inning.

2159
02:12:09,000 --> 02:12:10,000
No runs.

2160
02:12:10,000 --> 02:12:12,000
They get one base hit.

2161
02:12:12,000 --> 02:12:13,000
There were no Yankee errors.

2162
02:12:13,000 --> 02:12:14,000
There were two men left on.

2163
02:12:14,000 --> 02:12:16,000
So we go to the ninth inning.

2164
02:12:16,000 --> 02:12:17,000
The Yankees leading 2-2 tie.

2165
02:12:17,000 --> 02:12:25,000
The score, the Brewers 6 and the Yankees 4.

2166
02:12:25,000 --> 02:12:27,000
To Frank Messer, Phil Rizzuto and Bill White.

2167
02:12:27,000 --> 02:12:30,000
This is Spencer Ross from Milwaukee County Stadium.

2168
02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:31,000
And into the ninth inning we go.

2169
02:12:31,000 --> 02:12:35,000
The Yankees lead 2-2 tie, 3 to grab the lead.

2170
02:12:35,000 --> 02:12:39,000
And we're down 6-0 in this ballgame.

2171
02:12:39,000 --> 02:12:42,000
They come up with four runs in the seventh.

2172
02:12:42,000 --> 02:12:44,000
And it'll be the top of the Yankee order.

2173
02:12:44,000 --> 02:12:48,000
Mickey Rivers, Roy White, Thurman Monson.

2174
02:12:48,000 --> 02:12:50,000
And should anybody get aboard, Chris Scherbler's to follow.

2175
02:12:50,000 --> 02:12:57,000
Mickey Rivers is 0-4, bounce to first, fly to right, hit into a forced play.

2176
02:12:57,000 --> 02:12:59,000
And then Juro Fomer run with a ground ball.

2177
02:12:59,000 --> 02:13:01,000
First pitch taken down, low ball one.

2178
02:13:01,000 --> 02:13:03,000
Rivers shortened up to bunt.

2179
02:13:03,000 --> 02:13:08,000
And third baseman Don Money way in on the infield grass there on the third baseline.

2180
02:13:08,000 --> 02:13:12,000
Rivers can scoot and Billy Martin will take him anywhere right now.

2181
02:13:12,000 --> 02:13:18,000
But, oh whatever, Monday night in Fort Lauderdale the Yankees winning a ballgame from the Mets.

2182
02:13:18,000 --> 02:13:21,000
Double steal, a squeezed play.

2183
02:13:21,000 --> 02:13:23,000
Billy likes to play it that way.

2184
02:13:23,000 --> 02:13:24,000
One and one pitch.

2185
02:13:24,000 --> 02:13:26,000
Bounce in the hole toward short.

2186
02:13:26,000 --> 02:13:27,000
Up with it is gone.

2187
02:13:27,000 --> 02:13:29,000
Long throw gets away from Scott.

2188
02:13:29,000 --> 02:13:31,000
And Mickey Rivers is aboard.

2189
02:13:31,000 --> 02:13:34,000
And can he fly down that line?

2190
02:13:34,000 --> 02:13:39,000
It was chopped over third baseman Don Money's head.

2191
02:13:39,000 --> 02:13:44,000
And he got it in the hole, threw on the first.

2192
02:13:44,000 --> 02:13:49,000
Chopped over third baseman Don Money's head.

2193
02:13:49,000 --> 02:13:54,000
And he got it in the hole, threw on the first.

2194
02:13:54,000 --> 02:13:56,000
And it's ruled a base hit.

2195
02:13:56,000 --> 02:13:58,000
Mickey Rivers beat it out.

2196
02:13:58,000 --> 02:14:02,000
An infield single.

2197
02:14:02,000 --> 02:14:07,000
Just about a definite out for anybody else although Scott did not hold the baseball.

2198
02:14:07,000 --> 02:14:10,000
And now Alex Gramits moving out to the mound.

2199
02:14:10,000 --> 02:14:15,000
And he wants to talk with Jerry Augustine.

2200
02:14:15,000 --> 02:14:18,000
Roy White the scheduled batter.

2201
02:14:18,000 --> 02:14:20,000
Roy of course will stay in there.

2202
02:14:20,000 --> 02:14:24,000
Thurman munching the fire and that's going to be it for Jerry Augustine.

2203
02:14:24,000 --> 02:14:27,000
So Augustine leaves.

2204
02:14:27,000 --> 02:14:30,000
And he pitched well in relief for the Brewers.

2205
02:14:30,000 --> 02:14:42,000
He came on in that seventh inning when the Yankees erupted for four runs.

2206
02:14:42,000 --> 02:14:45,000
Got the Yankees one, two, three in the eighth.

2207
02:14:45,000 --> 02:14:55,000
And the new pitcher coming into the ball game for the Brewers will be Tom Murphy.

2208
02:14:55,000 --> 02:14:59,000
So Murphy becomes the fourth pitcher of the afternoon for Milwaukee.

2209
02:14:59,000 --> 02:15:03,000
Each club is gone with four.

2210
02:15:03,000 --> 02:15:05,000
Bill Travers started for Milwaukee.

2211
02:15:05,000 --> 02:15:07,000
Ed Rodriguez came on.

2212
02:15:07,000 --> 02:15:09,000
He got rocked for the four runs.

2213
02:15:09,000 --> 02:15:11,000
Jerry Augustine followed.

2214
02:15:11,000 --> 02:15:15,000
And Jerry Augustine pitching very well in relief.

2215
02:15:15,000 --> 02:15:21,000
One and two-thirds innings for Augustine.

2216
02:15:21,000 --> 02:15:24,000
And he gave up a one-base hit.

2217
02:15:24,000 --> 02:15:26,000
Struck out one.

2218
02:15:26,000 --> 02:15:27,000
Did not walk anybody.

2219
02:15:27,000 --> 02:15:37,000
And he is responsible for the runner, Vicki Rivers, down at.

2220
02:15:37,000 --> 02:15:42,000
Zern Run average was a rather anemic 4.60.

2221
02:15:42,000 --> 02:15:50,000
He won one and lost nine.

2222
02:15:50,000 --> 02:15:54,000
The right-hander, Tom Murphy, 30 years old from Cleveland, Ohio.

2223
02:15:54,000 --> 02:15:57,000
We'll try and save it for the Brewers as the Yankees.

2224
02:15:57,000 --> 02:16:00,000
Trying to come back from a six-run deficit.

2225
02:16:00,000 --> 02:16:02,000
Quickly checking the scoreboard in the American League.

2226
02:16:02,000 --> 02:16:05,000
Baltimore beat Boston 5-1 with five in the eighth.

2227
02:16:05,000 --> 02:16:08,000
Detroit over Cleveland 3-1.

2228
02:16:08,000 --> 02:16:11,000
Oakland and California just getting underway in the first.

2229
02:16:11,000 --> 02:16:12,000
There's no score.

2230
02:16:12,000 --> 02:16:14,000
Vita Blue against Nolan Ryan in the National League.

2231
02:16:14,000 --> 02:16:15,000
Metz won.

2232
02:16:15,000 --> 02:16:16,000
Montreal nothing.

2233
02:16:16,000 --> 02:16:18,000
Pittsburgh 5-4 over Philadelphia.

2234
02:16:18,000 --> 02:16:20,000
Cincinnati beat Houston 13-7.

2235
02:16:20,000 --> 02:16:24,000
And it was Chicago edging St. Louis by a score of 4-3.

2236
02:16:24,000 --> 02:16:26,000
Tom Murphy is ready.

2237
02:16:26,000 --> 02:16:28,000
Ready to pitch to Roy White.

2238
02:16:28,000 --> 02:16:31,000
Vicki Rivers, the runner down at first base.

2239
02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:36,000
Rivers got his first stolen base of the season Thursday.

2240
02:16:36,000 --> 02:16:39,000
He had 70 last year.

2241
02:16:39,000 --> 02:16:41,000
And Murphy goes to the stretch.

2242
02:16:41,000 --> 02:16:43,000
The pitch fouled away behind the plate.

2243
02:16:43,000 --> 02:16:46,000
Up into the upper deck, strike one.

2244
02:16:46,000 --> 02:16:49,000
It's been a good afternoon for Roy White after striking out in the first.

2245
02:16:49,000 --> 02:16:54,000
He's got an infield single and single to left, then single to right to drive home a run.

2246
02:16:54,000 --> 02:16:58,000
So three for four for Roy White.

2247
02:16:58,000 --> 02:17:01,000
Fighting left against the right-handed throwing Murphy.

2248
02:17:01,000 --> 02:17:03,000
Murphy to the stretch.

2249
02:17:03,000 --> 02:17:05,000
Gets the sign and the pitch.

2250
02:17:05,000 --> 02:17:06,000
Swung out and missed.

2251
02:17:06,000 --> 02:17:07,000
Strike two.

2252
02:17:07,000 --> 02:17:12,000
Tom Murphy gets out ahead of Roy White.

2253
02:17:12,000 --> 02:17:15,000
Don Money close to that line at third.

2254
02:17:15,000 --> 02:17:17,000
Doesn't want to let anything get by.

2255
02:17:17,000 --> 02:17:19,000
This could be an extra base hit.

2256
02:17:19,000 --> 02:17:23,000
The rest of the Brewers playing White straight away.

2257
02:17:23,000 --> 02:17:25,000
Murphy to the stretch.

2258
02:17:25,000 --> 02:17:26,000
Rivers leads away.

2259
02:17:26,000 --> 02:17:27,000
0-2 pitch.

2260
02:17:27,000 --> 02:17:32,000
Upside ball one.

2261
02:17:32,000 --> 02:17:36,000
On deck, Thurman Munson.

2262
02:17:36,000 --> 02:17:40,000
Got the Yanks back into this ball game with a two-run homer in the seventh.

2263
02:17:40,000 --> 02:17:41,000
The 1-2 pitch by Murphy.

2264
02:17:41,000 --> 02:17:42,000
Taking in there.

2265
02:17:42,000 --> 02:17:44,000
Called strike three.

2266
02:17:44,000 --> 02:17:50,000
Murphy let up on him a little and hit it on the outside corner to pick up the strikeout.

2267
02:17:50,000 --> 02:17:54,000
So there is one man away here in the ninth inning.

2268
02:17:54,000 --> 02:17:58,000
And Thurman Munson comes to the plate.

2269
02:17:58,000 --> 02:18:00,000
Thurman, one for four, bounced the short,

2270
02:18:00,000 --> 02:18:07,000
tied the center twice, and then uncorked his first home run of the 1976 season.

2271
02:18:07,000 --> 02:18:12,000
Over the wall in left field, up beyond the 362-foot marker,

2272
02:18:12,000 --> 02:18:14,000
and that made it a 6-4 ball game.

2273
02:18:14,000 --> 02:18:21,000
Now Darrell Porter goes out to the mound to talk to Tom Murphy.

2274
02:18:21,000 --> 02:18:24,000
They play Munson.

2275
02:18:24,000 --> 02:18:26,000
Deep and straight away.

2276
02:18:26,000 --> 02:18:30,000
Thurman with excellent power to Hall Field.

2277
02:18:30,000 --> 02:18:36,000
Nicky Rivers leads away from first base.

2278
02:18:36,000 --> 02:18:39,000
The stretch by Murphy.

2279
02:18:39,000 --> 02:18:40,000
And the pitch.

2280
02:18:40,000 --> 02:18:46,000
Outside corner, strike one, called.

2281
02:18:46,000 --> 02:18:50,000
George Maloney, unlike some umpires, doesn't come with that call quickly.

2282
02:18:50,000 --> 02:18:55,000
He mows it over for a second, then raises that right hand or does not.

2283
02:18:55,000 --> 02:18:56,000
The 0-1 pitch.

2284
02:18:56,000 --> 02:18:57,000
There goes Rivers.

2285
02:18:57,000 --> 02:18:58,000
Taking low.

2286
02:18:58,000 --> 02:18:59,000
Porter's throw to second.

2287
02:18:59,000 --> 02:19:02,000
Rivers in there by quite a distance.

2288
02:19:02,000 --> 02:19:07,000
And Rivers steals his second base of the season into ball games.

2289
02:19:07,000 --> 02:19:12,000
And he eliminates the potential double play ball.

2290
02:19:12,000 --> 02:19:19,000
And the pitch was taken for a ball, one-on-one to Thurman-Munson.

2291
02:19:19,000 --> 02:19:21,000
The Yanks get out of the double play possibility.

2292
02:19:21,000 --> 02:19:25,000
Rivers in scoring position down at second base.

2293
02:19:25,000 --> 02:19:27,000
On deck, Chris Shamblin.

2294
02:19:27,000 --> 02:19:31,000
Thurman-Munson at the plate.

2295
02:19:31,000 --> 02:19:33,000
One-one pitch coming.

2296
02:19:33,000 --> 02:19:35,000
Murphy goes to the stretch, checks Rivers.

2297
02:19:35,000 --> 02:19:39,000
And the pitch, swung on, fouled away down the first baseline.

2298
02:19:39,000 --> 02:19:44,000
Up into the crowd, and the count goes one ball, two strikes to Munson.

2299
02:19:44,000 --> 02:19:47,000
Murphy gets ahead of Thurman.

2300
02:19:47,000 --> 02:19:48,000
Tom taking plenty of time.

2301
02:19:48,000 --> 02:19:50,000
Walks out back beyond the mound.

2302
02:19:50,000 --> 02:19:53,000
Throws up the baseball, now steps up to the dirt portion.

2303
02:19:53,000 --> 02:19:57,000
And on to the rubber.

2304
02:19:57,000 --> 02:19:58,000
Now he's set.

2305
02:19:58,000 --> 02:20:03,000
Looks in for the side from Porter.

2306
02:20:03,000 --> 02:20:05,000
Rivers leads away.

2307
02:20:05,000 --> 02:20:07,000
Murphy to the stretch.

2308
02:20:07,000 --> 02:20:08,000
One-two pitch to Thurman.

2309
02:20:08,000 --> 02:20:10,000
Swung on, bounced to short.

2310
02:20:10,000 --> 02:20:13,000
Backhanded by Yacht, but he will not have a play.

2311
02:20:13,000 --> 02:20:15,000
In field single for Thurman-Munson.

2312
02:20:15,000 --> 02:20:18,000
Yacht prevented it from going into the outfield.

2313
02:20:18,000 --> 02:20:22,000
Even with Rivers' speed, had that ball gotten to the outfield,

2314
02:20:22,000 --> 02:20:27,000
it is doubtful that Mickey would have scored because he held up at second.

2315
02:20:27,000 --> 02:20:30,000
For fear the Yacht would come up with it.

2316
02:20:30,000 --> 02:20:35,000
But nevertheless, the Yankees now have the tying run on base on an in field single by Thurman-Munson.

2317
02:20:35,000 --> 02:20:38,000
And here is Chris Shambliss.

2318
02:20:38,000 --> 02:20:40,000
Shambliss 0 for 4.

2319
02:20:40,000 --> 02:20:43,000
Left-handed hitter against the right-handed pitching Tom Murphy.

2320
02:20:43,000 --> 02:20:45,000
Yanks trail 6-4.

2321
02:20:45,000 --> 02:20:46,000
We're in the top of the night.

2322
02:20:46,000 --> 02:20:48,000
There's one man away.

2323
02:20:48,000 --> 02:20:54,000
The pitch by Murphy, taken down low, ball one.

2324
02:20:54,000 --> 02:20:58,000
Rivers lead it off with an in field single off Augustine, Alex Gramis,

2325
02:20:58,000 --> 02:21:04,000
and brought on Murphy who struck out White and Munson for the in field base hit.

2326
02:21:04,000 --> 02:21:08,000
First and second, one away.

2327
02:21:08,000 --> 02:21:10,000
Chris Shambliss steps in.

2328
02:21:10,000 --> 02:21:13,000
Murphy kicks and throws outside ball two.

2329
02:21:13,000 --> 02:21:23,000
2-0.

2330
02:21:23,000 --> 02:21:25,000
Murphy taking plenty of time.

2331
02:21:25,000 --> 02:21:28,000
Getting the side from Porter, goes to the stretch.

2332
02:21:28,000 --> 02:21:30,000
Rivers lead from second, Munson from first.

2333
02:21:30,000 --> 02:21:35,000
The pitch, strike one, call, fastball, and it is 2-1.

2334
02:21:35,000 --> 02:21:44,000
On deck for the Yankees, Lou Fenella.

2335
02:21:44,000 --> 02:21:48,000
Shambliss steps back in now, and Murphy is set to the stretch.

2336
02:21:48,000 --> 02:21:50,000
Here comes the 2-1 pitch.

2337
02:21:50,000 --> 02:22:02,000
It's swung on, fouled away, up on the screen, right below us, and the count goes even 2-2.

2338
02:22:02,000 --> 02:22:07,000
Nicky Rivers standing on second base with his hands on his hips.

2339
02:22:07,000 --> 02:22:09,000
Now begins his lead.

2340
02:22:09,000 --> 02:22:12,000
Munson away from first.

2341
02:22:12,000 --> 02:22:14,000
And the 2-2 pitch.

2342
02:22:14,000 --> 02:22:16,000
Lined up the alley, left center field.

2343
02:22:16,000 --> 02:22:18,000
It's going to be in there for extra bases.

2344
02:22:18,000 --> 02:22:20,000
He will score.

2345
02:22:20,000 --> 02:22:21,000
Munson rounding third.

2346
02:22:21,000 --> 02:22:22,000
He's coming to the plate.

2347
02:22:22,000 --> 02:22:23,000
He will score.

2348
02:22:23,000 --> 02:22:28,000
The ballgame's tied in the second with a stand-up double, as Chris Shambliss.

2349
02:22:28,000 --> 02:22:37,000
The Yankees have come from behind to try this ballgame at 6-6, here on the ninth inning.

2350
02:22:37,000 --> 02:22:47,000
After being down 6-0 in the seventh, 4-7, 2 here in the ninth, and Chris Shambliss with his first base end of the season.

2351
02:22:47,000 --> 02:22:51,000
And what a biggie, up the alley and left center field.

2352
02:22:51,000 --> 02:22:55,000
And we are all even, as Munson scores all the way from first.

2353
02:22:55,000 --> 02:22:59,000
Rivers comes in easily from second.

2354
02:22:59,000 --> 02:23:07,000
And now, Lou Pennella with a lead run in scoring position.

2355
02:23:07,000 --> 02:23:09,000
Lou is 2-3.

2356
02:23:09,000 --> 02:23:14,000
Bounced to short, was walked intentionally, and single to center twice.

2357
02:23:14,000 --> 02:23:19,000
Right-handed hitter against Murphy. Lines and deep down the left field line, but curving foul.

2358
02:23:19,000 --> 02:23:25,000
Into the stands, long strike one.

2359
02:23:25,000 --> 02:23:31,000
Pennella getting just a bit out in front of that one.

2360
02:23:31,000 --> 02:23:35,000
Milwaukee got 1 in the fourth, 2 in the fifth, 3 in the sixth.

2361
02:23:35,000 --> 02:23:38,000
Open up a 6-0 lead.

2362
02:23:38,000 --> 02:23:43,000
And the Yankees storming back with 4 in the seventh, 2 here in the ninth.

2363
02:23:43,000 --> 02:23:45,000
Shambliss down at second.

2364
02:23:45,000 --> 02:23:47,000
The 0-1 pitch coming to Lou Pennella.

2365
02:23:47,000 --> 02:23:50,000
Line left field, on the move is Wisconsin.

2366
02:23:50,000 --> 02:23:53,000
It is off the wall, extra bases.

2367
02:23:53,000 --> 02:23:55,000
Shambliss comes in to score.

2368
02:23:55,000 --> 02:23:56,000
Digging for second Pennella.

2369
02:23:56,000 --> 02:23:57,000
He's going to go for third.

2370
02:23:57,000 --> 02:24:00,000
Center fielder, Gorman Thomas throws in and Pennella hits a dirty save.

2371
02:24:00,000 --> 02:24:03,000
For the triple.

2372
02:24:03,000 --> 02:24:05,000
Lou Pennella, triple zone, the lead run.

2373
02:24:05,000 --> 02:24:08,000
And the Yankees lead it by a score of 7-6.

2374
02:24:08,000 --> 02:24:20,000
Three runs for the Yankees, here are the Knights in it.

2375
02:24:20,000 --> 02:24:26,000
And Lou Pennella coming back after last year's problems.

2376
02:24:26,000 --> 02:24:32,000
The inner ear infection, unable to get a track all season.

2377
02:24:32,000 --> 02:24:39,000
The Brewers are going to walk, Greg Nettles intentionally.

2378
02:24:39,000 --> 02:24:43,000
To get to Rick Dempsey, who is at a frustrating day.

2379
02:24:43,000 --> 02:24:47,000
Been up four times, hit the ball hard each time.

2380
02:24:47,000 --> 02:24:50,000
And he's over four.

2381
02:24:50,000 --> 02:24:52,000
Had three balls to Nettles.

2382
02:24:52,000 --> 02:24:55,000
And Murphy's fourth pitch coming up.

2383
02:24:55,000 --> 02:25:01,000
And Greg Nettles moves down to first base on the intentional walk.

2384
02:25:01,000 --> 02:25:05,000
First and third now for the Yankees.

2385
02:25:05,000 --> 02:25:08,000
Who have gone out in front, 7-6.

2386
02:25:08,000 --> 02:25:11,000
And Alex Gramisch moves to the mound.

2387
02:25:11,000 --> 02:25:15,000
And he is calling for another pitcher.

2388
02:25:15,000 --> 02:25:19,000
Big ninth inning for the Yankees.

2389
02:25:19,000 --> 02:25:21,000
We had Bill Whiten here for the seventh inning.

2390
02:25:21,000 --> 02:25:22,000
Yankees scored four times.

2391
02:25:22,000 --> 02:25:27,000
I was beginning to think all the Yankee runs were reserved for when Bill O'Fill come in.

2392
02:25:27,000 --> 02:25:29,000
For the Yankees, they're turning that around.

2393
02:25:29,000 --> 02:25:35,000
Murphy leaves as New Yorkers score three here in the ninth.

2394
02:25:35,000 --> 02:25:41,000
And Billy Champion will come in to pitch for the Brewers.

2395
02:25:41,000 --> 02:25:44,000
Tom Murphy just did not have it.

2396
02:25:44,000 --> 02:25:47,000
He got Roy White on a called third strike.

2397
02:25:47,000 --> 02:25:49,000
He has not gotten anybody since.

2398
02:25:49,000 --> 02:25:52,000
One third of an inning.

2399
02:25:52,000 --> 02:25:57,000
Augustine charged for the run which made it a 7-5 ball game.

2400
02:25:57,000 --> 02:26:00,000
One third of an inning though for Tom Murphy.

2401
02:26:00,000 --> 02:26:04,000
He gives up three bases.

2402
02:26:04,000 --> 02:26:09,000
He walked one and struck out one.

2403
02:26:09,000 --> 02:26:14,000
And he has given up two runs responsible for the runners on base.

2404
02:26:14,000 --> 02:26:20,000
And Billy Champion will try and put out the fire for the Brewers here in the ninth.

2405
02:26:20,000 --> 02:26:23,000
Yankees go to Baltimore.

2406
02:26:23,000 --> 02:26:25,000
Monday night and Tuesday night.

2407
02:26:25,000 --> 02:26:30,000
The Monday night game by the way will begin at 8.25.

2408
02:26:30,000 --> 02:26:33,000
The on deck circles show.

2409
02:26:33,000 --> 02:26:36,000
Spencer Ross for Frank Metz for Phil Rizzuto and Bill White.

2410
02:26:36,000 --> 02:26:38,000
We're in the top of the ninth inning.

2411
02:26:38,000 --> 02:26:40,000
Yankees have scored three times.

2412
02:26:40,000 --> 02:26:46,000
And they have taken a 7-6 lead over the Milwaukee Brewers.

2413
02:26:46,000 --> 02:26:52,000
Billy Champion who began his major league career with the Philadelphia Phillies

2414
02:26:52,000 --> 02:26:58,000
is the fifth pitchers of the afternoon for the Milwaukee Brewers.

2415
02:26:58,000 --> 02:27:03,000
Came over to Milwaukee in the 1973 season.

2416
02:27:03,000 --> 02:27:14,000
Along with Don Money and John Bukovic for pitchers Jim Lombort, Ken Sanders, Ken Brett and Earl Stephenson.

2417
02:27:14,000 --> 02:27:20,000
And Champion last year a record of six victories, six defeats.

2418
02:27:20,000 --> 02:27:25,000
He's about half and half in either a starting or relieving role.

2419
02:27:25,000 --> 02:27:30,000
And an earned run average of 5.89.

2420
02:27:30,000 --> 02:27:32,000
Oakland, California, their scoreless after four.

2421
02:27:32,000 --> 02:27:34,000
Vita Blue against Nolan Ryan.

2422
02:27:34,000 --> 02:27:37,000
And here's Rick Dempsey.

2423
02:27:37,000 --> 02:27:41,000
Rick Ofer for has hit the ball hard each time.

2424
02:27:41,000 --> 02:27:48,000
Line to center, line to right, line to left, and line to shortstop Robin Young.

2425
02:27:48,000 --> 02:27:51,000
Down to third, Luke Pennella.

2426
02:27:51,000 --> 02:27:54,000
On it first, Greg Nettles.

2427
02:27:54,000 --> 02:27:58,000
And shortening up the bat, the squeeze is out and Dempsey works it perfectly.

2428
02:27:58,000 --> 02:28:05,000
Pennella comes in the score, ball gets by, Garcia at second, and all the way to third goes Greg Nettles.

2429
02:28:05,000 --> 02:28:07,000
A perfect squeeze.

2430
02:28:07,000 --> 02:28:11,000
And the Yankees lead it now by a score of 8-6.

2431
02:28:11,000 --> 02:28:15,000
The bun was on and Dempsey didn't hit the ball hard that time,

2432
02:28:15,000 --> 02:28:18,000
but he has his first base hit of the season.

2433
02:28:18,000 --> 02:28:22,000
On the squeeze play.

2434
02:28:22,000 --> 02:28:30,000
And moving down the line was Luke Pennella to score the RBI for Rick Dempsey.

2435
02:28:30,000 --> 02:28:32,000
And here's Willie Randolph.

2436
02:28:32,000 --> 02:28:37,000
And all the way to third on the play goes Greg Nettles.

2437
02:28:37,000 --> 02:28:39,000
The ball got through Garcia.

2438
02:28:39,000 --> 02:28:41,000
So Nettles at third.

2439
02:28:41,000 --> 02:28:48,000
On it first base it's Rick Dempsey and we get a timeout called Yankee first base coach Elston Howard.

2440
02:28:48,000 --> 02:28:51,000
Wanting to tell Rick Dempsey something.

2441
02:28:51,000 --> 02:28:54,000
And now we're set.

2442
02:28:54,000 --> 02:28:57,000
Let's see if the Yankees do it again.

2443
02:28:57,000 --> 02:28:59,000
But Willie Randolph at the plate.

2444
02:28:59,000 --> 02:29:01,000
Greg Nettles is down at third.

2445
02:29:01,000 --> 02:29:05,000
The Yanks lead 8-6. They scored four times here on the night.

2446
02:29:05,000 --> 02:29:10,000
And the pitch, Randolph takes strike one.

2447
02:29:10,000 --> 02:29:18,000
Willie championed the fifth pitcher of the afternoon for the Milwaukee Brewers.

2448
02:29:18,000 --> 02:29:23,000
Lights have been on since the eighth inning here in Milwaukee.

2449
02:29:23,000 --> 02:29:24,000
Champion of the stretch.

2450
02:29:24,000 --> 02:29:25,000
Two runners lead away.

2451
02:29:25,000 --> 02:29:27,000
The pitch hit deep to center field.

2452
02:29:27,000 --> 02:29:30,000
Moving in Gorman Thomas now a couple of steps.

2453
02:29:30,000 --> 02:29:31,000
Makes the catch.

2454
02:29:31,000 --> 02:29:33,000
Tagging up at third is Nettles.

2455
02:29:33,000 --> 02:29:35,000
Here comes the throw all the way to the plate.

2456
02:29:35,000 --> 02:29:38,000
Nettles slides in safely for the Yankees' ninth run of the ball game.

2457
02:29:38,000 --> 02:29:41,000
And moving on to second on the throw, Rick Dempsey.

2458
02:29:41,000 --> 02:29:47,000
So an RBI for Willie Randolph on the sacrifice fly.

2459
02:29:47,000 --> 02:29:52,000
Scoring Nettles to make it 9-6 in favor of the Yankees.

2460
02:29:52,000 --> 02:29:58,000
Five runs in here in the ninth inning.

2461
02:29:58,000 --> 02:30:13,000
And Sandy Alomar comes to the plate.

2462
02:30:13,000 --> 02:30:17,000
Alomar, the third Yankees shortstop of the afternoon.

2463
02:30:17,000 --> 02:30:21,000
Both Stanley and Mason were pinch hits for.

2464
02:30:21,000 --> 02:30:22,000
So Sandy taking over.

2465
02:30:22,000 --> 02:30:33,000
Swings and misses at the first pitch, strike one.

2466
02:30:33,000 --> 02:30:35,000
Rick Dempsey leads away from second.

2467
02:30:35,000 --> 02:30:41,000
The Yankees have scored five here in the ninth.

2468
02:30:41,000 --> 02:30:44,000
Sandy Alomar with his first appearance at the plate during this season.

2469
02:30:44,000 --> 02:30:45,000

02:30:45,000 --> 02:30:48,000
Strike two called.

2471
02:30:48,000 --> 02:30:53,000
Nine to six Yankees out in front.

2472
02:30:53,000 --> 02:30:57,000
And Alomar at the plate.

2473
02:30:57,000 --> 02:31:07,000
Sandy batting left-handed against the right-handed pitching bill champion.

2474
02:31:07,000 --> 02:31:11,000

2475
02:31:11,000 --> 02:31:16,000
Looking ahead to the bottom of the ninth for the Brewers, Robin Yacht, Pedro Garcia,

2476
02:31:16,000 --> 02:31:26,000
and Gorman Thomas, the scheduled hitters.

2477
02:31:26,000 --> 02:31:28,000
One-two pitch coming.

2478
02:31:28,000 --> 02:31:29,000
Dempsey leads away from second.

2479
02:31:29,000 --> 02:31:31,000
The pitch bowed back out of the screen.

2480
02:31:31,000 --> 02:31:32,000
Count holds.

2481
02:31:32,000 --> 02:31:36,000
One ball, two strikes.

02:31:56,000 --> 02:31:57,000
Count holds.

02:31:57,000 --> 02:32:00,000
One ball, two strikes.

2491
02:32:00,000 --> 02:32:02,000
Rick Dempsey down at second.

2492
02:32:02,000 --> 02:32:07,000
Pedro called the Yankees eighth run of the ball game on a perfect squeeze play

2493
02:32:07,000 --> 02:32:12,000
with Lou Pennella scoring from third.

02:32:44,000 --> 02:32:46,000
Three balls, two strikes.

2500
02:32:46,000 --> 02:32:49,000
Top of the ninth inning.

2501
02:32:49,000 --> 02:32:54,000
And Sparky Lowe will be sent out to protect the Yankee lead.

2502
02:32:54,000 --> 02:32:57,000
Yanks at one time down by six, now up by three.

2503
02:32:57,000 --> 02:33:01,000
Pitch bowed away behind the plate right back here out of the screen.

2504
02:33:01,000 --> 02:33:04,000
And the count remains full.

2505
02:33:04,000 --> 02:33:09,000
Temperature got up as high as 70 this afternoon in Milwaukee.

2506
02:33:09,000 --> 02:33:11,000
We began the day.

2507
02:33:11,000 --> 02:33:15,000
The word was we might get a snow storm tomorrow.

2508
02:33:15,000 --> 02:33:18,000
Two years ago, just about to the day, today is April 10th,

2509
02:33:18,000 --> 02:33:23,000
they had 16 inches of snow in Milwaukee.

2510
02:33:23,000 --> 02:33:27,000
And the pitch hit high up into the air, down the third base line, Don Money,

2511
02:33:27,000 --> 02:33:30,000
out onto the outfield grass, puts it away.

2512
02:33:30,000 --> 02:33:31,000
The side is retired.

2513
02:33:31,000 --> 02:33:33,000
The Yankees got around.

2514
02:33:33,000 --> 02:33:36,000
And the New Yorkers come up with five runs.

2515
02:33:36,000 --> 02:33:40,000
And there are one, two, three, four, five bases.

2516
02:33:40,000 --> 02:33:42,000
There were no Milwaukee errors.

2517
02:33:42,000 --> 02:33:44,000
And the Yankees lead one.

2518
02:33:44,000 --> 02:33:46,000
So we go to the bottom of the ninth inning with a score.

2519
02:33:46,000 --> 02:33:54,000
The New York Yankees nine and the Milwaukee Brewers six.

2520
02:33:54,000 --> 02:33:59,000
To the bottom half of inning number nine with the Yankees leading it by a score of nine to six.

2521
02:33:59,000 --> 02:34:02,000
And it is up to Sparky Lowe.

2522
02:34:02,000 --> 02:34:06,000
And Sparky can pick up the victory here, he has a pitcher of records.

2523
02:34:06,000 --> 02:34:10,000
He came on with two outs in the eighth inning for Dick Tidro.

2524
02:34:10,000 --> 02:34:13,000
And he got Bill Sharp to fly to center field.

2525
02:34:13,000 --> 02:34:17,000
Leading it off for the Brewers will be shortstop Robin Yant.

2526
02:34:17,000 --> 02:34:21,000
Yant on the day, two for four, single to left, single to left,

2527
02:34:21,000 --> 02:34:31,000
bounce to the pitcher and took a call, third strike.

2528
02:34:31,000 --> 02:34:34,000
Yant steps in, right-handed hitter against the Sparky.

2529
02:34:34,000 --> 02:34:40,000
And the pitch-taker strike one call, 0-1.

2530
02:34:40,000 --> 02:34:44,000
They play Yant a shade to pull.

2531
02:34:44,000 --> 02:34:55,000
And the pitch fouled at the plate, 0-2.

2532
02:34:55,000 --> 02:34:59,000
Sparky Lowe.

2533
02:34:59,000 --> 02:35:03,000
The Yankees need a strong inning Thursday, and the Yankees need a strong one from here.

2534
02:35:03,000 --> 02:35:05,000
Some bad news from Philadelphia.

2535
02:35:05,000 --> 02:35:08,000
Johnny Oates suffered a broken left flavicle at the shoulder.

2536
02:35:08,000 --> 02:35:09,000
He'll be out from six days weeks.

2537
02:35:09,000 --> 02:35:13,000
It happened in the ninth inning when one of the Pirates Dave Parker crashed into him,

2538
02:35:13,000 --> 02:35:16,000
forcing Oates to drop the ball and Pittsburgh tied the game.

2539
02:35:16,000 --> 02:35:19,000
Next pitch fouled away by Robin Yant, can't hold.

2540
02:35:19,000 --> 02:35:22,000
One ball and two strikes.

2541
02:35:22,000 --> 02:35:26,000
And Pittsburgh wound up winning the ballgame by a score of five to four.

2542
02:35:26,000 --> 02:35:28,000
Larry Demery beating Sutton-LeGraw on relief.

2543
02:35:28,000 --> 02:35:40,000
1-2 pitch inside ball two for Robin Yant with Pedro Garcia on deck.

2544
02:35:40,000 --> 02:35:45,000
Pitch fouled away, and the count holds 2-2.

2545
02:35:45,000 --> 02:35:49,000
Sparky not taking much time.

2546
02:35:49,000 --> 02:35:52,000
He's up on the mound, looks into the side from Rick Dempsey.

2547
02:35:52,000 --> 02:35:55,000
Down comes the left arm, in comes the pitch, fouled away again.

2548
02:35:55,000 --> 02:36:04,000
Up over the Brewer dugout, into the crowd, and a souvenir for one of the 10,871 on hand here.

2549
02:36:04,000 --> 02:36:06,000
We're mighty happy through sixth inning.

2550
02:36:06,000 --> 02:36:08,000
Their club led it six-nil.

2551
02:36:08,000 --> 02:36:13,000
The Yankees got four in the seventh, a big hit, a two-run homer by Thurman Munson.

2552
02:36:13,000 --> 02:36:19,000
And the 2-2 pitch lined into the hole, the center field for Ovae Smith.

2553
02:36:19,000 --> 02:36:23,000
They sit for Robin Yant to lead off the ninth inning.

2554
02:36:23,000 --> 02:36:30,000
And the Brewers get the lead runner on, and Pedro Garcia will come to the plate.

2555
02:36:30,000 --> 02:36:38,000
Garcia is one for four, pop to the catcher, single the left to drive home a run,

2556
02:36:38,000 --> 02:36:47,000
reach down an error and score, and then pops the short.

2557
02:36:47,000 --> 02:36:49,000
Nobody out, top of the ninth, bottom of the ninth inning.

2558
02:36:49,000 --> 02:36:55,000
Yankees lead it nine to six, and they got five more in the ninth after four in the seventh.

2559
02:36:55,000 --> 02:37:01,000
Sparky's first pitch to Garcia, taken down low, ball one.

2560
02:37:01,000 --> 02:37:07,000
On deck for the Brewers, the top of the order, Gorman Thomas.

2561
02:37:07,000 --> 02:37:12,000
Bobby Darwin has stepped out, and he will be the pinch hitter for Gorman Thomas.

2562
02:37:12,000 --> 02:37:19,000
The pitch, a high ball, too, and Darwin, a man with great power.

2563
02:37:19,000 --> 02:37:27,000
Sparky doesn't want to lose Garcia, so looks down to get the side from third base coach Jimmy Bregan.

2564
02:37:27,000 --> 02:37:28,000
They play Garcia to pull.

2565
02:37:28,000 --> 02:37:32,000
Mickey Rivers shaded way over to the left, Roy White close to the line.

2566
02:37:32,000 --> 02:37:41,000
The pitch, strike one, call, two and one.

2567
02:37:41,000 --> 02:37:48,000
Left-hander Sparky Lyle against right-handed hitting Pedro Garcia.

2568
02:37:48,000 --> 02:38:03,000
Nine-six, Yankees lead it, bottom of the ninth, exciting ball game in Milwaukee, a high ball, three, three and one.

2569
02:38:03,000 --> 02:38:08,000
Sparky now steps off the mound on the backside of it, now steps back.

2570
02:38:08,000 --> 02:38:19,000
The Justice cap goes to the stretch, checks the runner, and the three-one-six, rolling inside, ball four.

2571
02:38:19,000 --> 02:38:24,000
And the Brewers now have the tying run at the plate.

2572
02:38:24,000 --> 02:38:33,000
And the person of Bobby Darwin, who will hit for Gorman Thomas.

2573
02:38:33,000 --> 02:38:41,000
Darwin had been a pitcher for the first seven years of his professional career, and he has become a home run hitter.

2574
02:38:41,000 --> 02:38:47,000
And Billy Martin out of the Yankee dugout makes his way to the mound.

2575
02:38:47,000 --> 02:38:55,000
And we may be getting a new pitcher to face the right-handed hitting Bobby Darwin.

2576
02:38:55,000 --> 02:39:03,000
There is action in the Yankee bullpen.

2577
02:39:03,000 --> 02:39:12,000
Darwin had 25 home runs for the Minnesota Twins in 1974, and a total of 13 last year for Minnesota and Milwaukee.

2578
02:39:12,000 --> 02:39:21,000
Came to Milwaukee in a deal with Santiani Briggs to the Twins. Sparky Lyle leaves.

2579
02:39:21,000 --> 02:39:26,000
And we're awaiting the next Yankee pitcher.

2580
02:39:26,000 --> 02:39:37,000
The bullpen is partially hidden from us, and as soon as the pitcher comes out from behind the wall, he hops into an automobile.

2581
02:39:37,000 --> 02:39:41,000
And unable to tell just who it is.

2582
02:39:41,000 --> 02:39:44,000
But Sparky Lyle leaves.

2583
02:39:44,000 --> 02:39:49,000
He still has the pitcher of record on the wind side. He can win it, he cannot lose it.

2584
02:39:49,000 --> 02:39:53,000
The Yankees lead it by a score of 9-6.

2585
02:39:53,000 --> 02:39:58,000
And Sparky will put the first two batters on here in the ninth inning.

2586
02:39:58,000 --> 02:40:05,000
Robin Yard on a single to center. Pedro Garcia on a base-down ball.

2587
02:40:05,000 --> 02:40:10,000
And Dave Pagan will come out for the Yankees.

2588
02:40:10,000 --> 02:40:13,000
Hard-throwing right-hander.

2589
02:40:13,000 --> 02:40:20,000
Getting the call from manager Billy Martin.

2590
02:40:20,000 --> 02:40:24,000
Pagan makes his way to the mound, and he'll start throwing in his warm-up tosses.

2591
02:40:24,000 --> 02:40:33,000
It's a 9-6 ball game. The Yankees, who were down six-nothing, scored four in the seventh, five in the ninth, to take the lead.

2592
02:40:33,000 --> 02:40:39,000
And now Milwaukee has put the first two runners on here in the bottom of the ninth inning.

2593
02:40:39,000 --> 02:40:45,000
Tomorrow getaway day in Milwaukee, then it's on to Baltimore.

2594
02:40:45,000 --> 02:40:52,000
So Dave Pagan goes through his warm-up tosses now.

2595
02:40:52,000 --> 02:40:57,000
Pagan, who has been up a couple of times with the Yankees.

2596
02:40:57,000 --> 02:41:03,000
Hey, we just got word that Andy Messersmith has signed a contract with the Atlanta Braves.

2597
02:41:03,000 --> 02:41:07,000
A four-year deal, worth a dollar.

2598
02:41:07,000 --> 02:41:12,000
I don't know how many dollars, but it's a bunch.

2599
02:41:12,000 --> 02:41:17,000
So Messersmith signed. The Braves under new ownership this year said Turner.

2600
02:41:17,000 --> 02:41:21,000
But he wants to turn things around there, so he signed Messersmith.

2601
02:41:21,000 --> 02:41:25,000
Dave Pagan appeared in 13 ball games for the Yankees last year.

2602
02:41:25,000 --> 02:41:29,000
And that's a big one for him right here at the outset.

2603
02:41:29,000 --> 02:41:34,000
Right-handed pitcher, 6'2", 176 pounds.

2604
02:41:34,000 --> 02:41:40,000
A native Canadian from Saskatchewan, first pitch pass ball inside, ball one to Bobby Dorland.

2605
02:41:40,000 --> 02:41:47,000
Robin Young is down at second. Pedro Garcia on at first.

2606
02:41:47,000 --> 02:41:50,000
With nobody out here in the ninth.

2607
02:41:50,000 --> 02:41:57,000
And Dave Pagan, the fifth Yankee pitcher of the afternoon, facing plugging Bobby Dorland.

2608
02:41:57,000 --> 02:42:00,000
And a one-oh pitch coming. Flung up, bounced to third.

2609
02:42:00,000 --> 02:42:06,000
Neto cannot handle it. Gets away from Yankees, he will not go any further.

2610
02:42:06,000 --> 02:42:08,000
And the bases are loaded.

2611
02:42:08,000 --> 02:42:21,000
The bases are loaded for Milwaukee.

2612
02:42:21,000 --> 02:42:25,000
And there's an error on Greg Neto, says the official score.

2613
02:42:25,000 --> 02:42:29,000
And it brings up Don Money.

2614
02:42:29,000 --> 02:42:35,000
Pagan got Darwin and hit the ground ball.

2615
02:42:35,000 --> 02:42:37,000
But Neto's unable to handle it.

2616
02:42:37,000 --> 02:42:41,000
And here's Don Money.

2617
02:42:41,000 --> 02:42:44,000
Yoncich serves, Garcia second.

2618
02:42:44,000 --> 02:42:51,000
And Darwin at first. The pitch, the money down low, ball one.

2619
02:42:51,000 --> 02:42:55,000
Dave Pagan looks in for the sign.

2620
02:42:55,000 --> 02:42:59,000
The ball is in the right hand. He goes to the stretch. The pitch, what a team left field.

2621
02:42:59,000 --> 02:43:02,000
Way back, long right, go back.

2622
02:43:02,000 --> 02:43:07,000
It's ball in the corner. A grand slam home run for Don Money.

2623
02:43:07,000 --> 02:43:11,000
From a four-pointed play by a score of ten times.

2624
02:43:11,000 --> 02:43:15,000
Incredible.

2625
02:43:15,000 --> 02:43:20,000
An incredibly disappointing finish for the New York Yankees.

2626
02:43:20,000 --> 02:43:25,000
And Don Money is in a grand slam home run.

2627
02:43:25,000 --> 02:43:36,000
The left field. And Yankee manager Billy Mark out there arguing, failingly, with a first base up five.

2628
02:43:36,000 --> 02:43:38,000
And kicking up the dirt.

2629
02:43:38,000 --> 02:43:43,000
The Yankees have lost this ball game.

2630
02:43:43,000 --> 02:43:50,000
It's a yellow, I guess. But that appears to be it.

2631
02:43:50,000 --> 02:43:56,000
The ball game is over. The Milwaukee Brewers come up with four runs.

2632
02:43:56,000 --> 02:44:01,000
In the ninth inning, a grand slam home run by Don Money wins it.

2633
02:44:01,000 --> 02:44:05,000
And that is it. The final score is the Milwaukee.

2634
02:44:05,000 --> 02:44:10,000
Hold it, hold it. Hold it. The Brewers are being told to come back out.

2635
02:44:10,000 --> 02:44:16,000
I believe what happened is we had a timeout, possibly called, by the Yankees.

2636
02:44:16,000 --> 02:44:19,000
And Billy Martin kicks up a storm.

2637
02:44:19,000 --> 02:44:29,000
And the umpires are telling the Brewers to come back.

2638
02:44:29,000 --> 02:44:34,000
Billy Martin argued, argued, argued.

2639
02:44:34,000 --> 02:44:40,000
And now Alex Grannis is going to argue, argue, argue.

2640
02:44:40,000 --> 02:44:45,000
His ball club was back in the dugout.

2641
02:44:45,000 --> 02:44:50,000
Ready to go home with a 10-9 victory.

2642
02:44:50,000 --> 02:44:57,000
But the umpires are calling him back.

2643
02:44:57,000 --> 02:45:02,000
And Grannis now begins his protestations through the umpiring crew.

2644
02:45:02,000 --> 02:45:09,000
Alex out of the dugout. And he'll begin to kick the dirt.

2645
02:45:09,000 --> 02:45:13,000
He's being told this ball game is not over.

2646
02:45:13,000 --> 02:45:19,000
Don Money jumps on a fastball and a 1-0 pitch by Dave Vegas.

2647
02:45:19,000 --> 02:45:22,000
And rocks it into the left field stand.

2648
02:45:22,000 --> 02:45:28,000
No doubt from the moment that ball left the bat, it was going to go out of here.

2649
02:45:28,000 --> 02:45:33,000
And then, after everybody crossed the plate, the Yankees stayed in the field.

2650
02:45:33,000 --> 02:45:37,000
Manager Billy Martin began to argue.

2651
02:45:37,000 --> 02:45:49,000
I believe the argument concerned a timeout at first base, called by the Milwaukee Brewers.

2652
02:45:49,000 --> 02:45:52,000
Martin won his point.

2653
02:45:52,000 --> 02:45:55,000
The Brewers are being told the ball game is not over.

2654
02:45:55,000 --> 02:46:03,000
The bases will remain loaded, although Alex Grannis has not told his ball club to go back out onto the field.

2655
02:46:03,000 --> 02:46:07,000
This has been an incredible ball game.

2656
02:46:07,000 --> 02:46:13,000
The Yankees trailing 6-0 at 4 of the 7, 5 of the 9 to take a 9-6 lead.

2657
02:46:13,000 --> 02:46:17,000
The Brewers load the bases with nobody else.

2658
02:46:17,000 --> 02:46:29,000
And listen to this crowd.

2659
02:46:29,000 --> 02:46:40,000
There are 6,871 on hand, and every one of them is doing.

2660
02:46:40,000 --> 02:46:44,000
Don Money will have to go back to the bat rack, get himself a bat,

2661
02:46:44,000 --> 02:46:51,000
and come to the plate again, against Dave Fagan.

2662
02:46:51,000 --> 02:46:58,000
The Milwaukee base runners have not gone back out onto the field.

2663
02:46:58,000 --> 02:47:05,000
Robin Yott on third, Pedro Garcia on second, and Bobby Darwin on first.

2664
02:47:05,000 --> 02:47:15,000
But Alex Grannis hasn't sent them out yet.

2665
02:47:15,000 --> 02:47:20,000
There's no doubt Grannis will play this game under protest.

2666
02:47:20,000 --> 02:47:22,000
So we'll have two games this season, two protests.

2667
02:47:22,000 --> 02:47:31,000
Yankee manager Billy Martin protests the Thursday's loss, due to the conditions of the mound.

2668
02:47:31,000 --> 02:47:35,000
But she said it affected Catfish Hunter's performance in the early going.

2669
02:47:35,000 --> 02:47:43,000
It's going to get adjusted to it.

2670
02:47:43,000 --> 02:47:47,000
First face up by Reggie McKeegan, along with both way to the fire,

2671
02:47:47,000 --> 02:47:52,000
George Maloney over there, sending everybody out onto the field.

2672
02:47:52,000 --> 02:47:55,000
And this crowd is set.

2673
02:47:55,000 --> 02:47:59,000
A couple of fans have jumped up on the Brewers dugout,

2674
02:47:59,000 --> 02:48:12,000
and are being asked to leave by one of the utters.

2675
02:48:12,000 --> 02:48:17,000
So the end of the ball game that wasn't the end of the ball game.

2676
02:48:17,000 --> 02:48:22,000
And we're going to continue.

2677
02:48:22,000 --> 02:48:24,000
Don Money back at the plate.

2678
02:48:24,000 --> 02:48:29,000
Robin Yonko back to third, down at second, Pedro Garcia.

2679
02:48:29,000 --> 02:48:36,000
Bobby Darwin is at first, and Don Money with a 1-0 count.

2680
02:48:36,000 --> 02:48:38,000
And the crowd booing and booing and booing.

2681
02:48:38,000 --> 02:48:41,000
The pitch taking a high ball, too.

2682
02:48:41,000 --> 02:48:46,000
2-0.

2683
02:48:46,000 --> 02:48:50,000
On deck, George Scott.

2684
02:48:50,000 --> 02:48:52,000
This is incredible.

2685
02:48:52,000 --> 02:49:05,000
2-0 count, and the pitch piled away, strike one.

2686
02:49:05,000 --> 02:49:11,000
The timeout was called by first face umpire Jim McKeegan.

2687
02:49:11,000 --> 02:49:13,000
And that's the reason for the delay.

2688
02:49:13,000 --> 02:49:18,000
2-1 pitch, down low, fastball ball 3, 3-1.

2689
02:49:18,000 --> 02:49:22,000
The Brewers have the tying run at first.

2690
02:49:22,000 --> 02:49:25,000
A potential winning run is at the plate.

2691
02:49:25,000 --> 02:49:28,000
They thought they'd win, but Don Money cracked a grand slam home run,

2692
02:49:28,000 --> 02:49:31,000
but Jim McKeegan is all time out.

2693
02:49:31,000 --> 02:49:33,000
Here's the 3-1 pitch.

2694
02:49:33,000 --> 02:49:36,000
Hit up for the big air to right field.

2695
02:49:36,000 --> 02:49:39,000
Moving over, Lou Fenella tagging at third is Scott.

2696
02:49:39,000 --> 02:49:41,000
Fenella makes the catch.

2697
02:49:41,000 --> 02:49:46,000
Yonk fakes the run and goes back to third, and Chambliss cuts the ball off.

2698
02:49:46,000 --> 02:49:49,000
So there is one away.

2699
02:49:49,000 --> 02:49:52,000
And it remains a 9-6 ballgame.

2700
02:49:52,000 --> 02:49:57,000
And now it brings up George Scott.

2701
02:49:57,000 --> 02:50:06,000
Scott on the afternoon, which is rapidly becoming the night, is 2-4.

2702
02:50:06,000 --> 02:50:12,000
Popped the first, single the left, drove both two runs with a triple and a six,

2703
02:50:12,000 --> 02:50:13,000
and then popped the first.

2704
02:50:13,000 --> 02:50:19,000
Right-handed hitter, and the pitch, change of fate, a pie ball one.

2705
02:50:19,000 --> 02:50:21,000
Robin Yonk is down to third.

2706
02:50:21,000 --> 02:50:22,000
Pedro Garcia at second.

2707
02:50:22,000 --> 02:50:24,000
Bobby Darwin at first.

2708
02:50:24,000 --> 02:50:28,000
Dave Pagan, the fifth Yankee pitcher of the afternoon.

2709
02:50:28,000 --> 02:50:31,000
9-6, Yankees lead it.

2710
02:50:31,000 --> 02:50:33,000
And around comes the right arm.

2711
02:50:33,000 --> 02:50:34,000
In comes the pitch.

2712
02:50:34,000 --> 02:50:35,000
Hit to center field.

2713
02:50:35,000 --> 02:50:37,000
Mickey Rivers has a beat on it.

2714
02:50:37,000 --> 02:50:41,000
Yonk will tag and score from third as Rivers makes the play.

2715
02:50:41,000 --> 02:50:44,000
Down to third is Pedro Garcia, and there are two men away.

2716
02:50:44,000 --> 02:50:46,000
It is now a 9-7 ballgame.

2717
02:50:46,000 --> 02:50:48,000
Bobby Darwin holds it first.

2718
02:50:48,000 --> 02:50:55,000
Sacrifice fly for George Scott.

2719
02:50:55,000 --> 02:50:58,000
As Yonk scores from third.

2720
02:50:58,000 --> 02:51:09,000
So now runners on first and third, and it will be up to Darrell Porter.

2721
02:51:09,000 --> 02:51:12,000
And Billy Martin back out onto the Yankee mound.

2722
02:51:12,000 --> 02:51:21,000
And we may be seeing pitcher number six of the afternoon against left-handed hitting Darrell Porter.

2723
02:51:21,000 --> 02:51:28,000
There goes the automobile out there again.

2724
02:51:28,000 --> 02:51:33,000
That's the kind of baseball, the exciting baseball that Billy Martin,

2725
02:51:33,000 --> 02:51:39,000
hoping to interject to this Yankee ball club, not so much this disputed golf.

2726
02:51:39,000 --> 02:51:44,000
That's the squeeze play on the ninth inning, which drove home a run.

2727
02:51:44,000 --> 02:51:49,000
Now it's a now 9-7, that run extremely important.

2728
02:51:49,000 --> 02:52:03,000
It drove home the final run of the inning, as the Yankees scored five times.

2729
02:52:03,000 --> 02:52:09,000
In this ninth inning, Sparky Lyle was in there, gave up a leadoff single to Robin Yonk.

2730
02:52:09,000 --> 02:52:16,000
Pedro Garcia, Lin Wong, Yankee manager Billy Martin, decided to go once again to his bullpen.

2731
02:52:16,000 --> 02:52:26,000
Dave Pagan came out. Dave Pagan got Bobby Darwin to bounce the ground ball to third base.

2732
02:52:26,000 --> 02:52:31,000
Greg Nettles could not handle it. That loaded the bases.

2733
02:52:31,000 --> 02:52:37,000
Ken Brett now coming in for the Yankees to make his first appearance as a Yankee pitcher,

2734
02:52:37,000 --> 02:52:41,000
replacing Pagan, who pitches two-thirds of an inning.

2735
02:52:41,000 --> 02:52:46,000
As far as the Brewers concerned, he gave a four-run, but he did not.

2736
02:52:46,000 --> 02:52:52,000
Following Darwin, reaching on Nettles' error, Don Money took a ball.

2737
02:52:52,000 --> 02:52:59,000
On the second pitch, he cracked one over the wall and left field for an apparent grand slam home run.

2738
02:52:59,000 --> 02:53:06,000
The Yankees remained on the field, and Billy Martin leaving the field as the crowd is throwing paper soda cups at him,

2739
02:53:06,000 --> 02:53:11,000
takes a deep bow and a curtsy as he heads into the dugout.

2740
02:53:11,000 --> 02:53:16,000
And it's hit by a couple of more paper cups.

2741
02:53:16,000 --> 02:53:22,000
And now a half-dozen fans have moved into the outfield.

2742
02:53:22,000 --> 02:53:30,000
That's Ken Brett. The left-hander comes in to face Darrell Porter.

2743
02:53:30,000 --> 02:53:40,000
Don Money's home run was called back when first-base umpire Jimmy Keegan ruled that the at-call timeout,

2744
02:53:40,000 --> 02:53:48,000
Martin saw it. First-base, first-base, Kamlin also saw it and heard it.

2745
02:53:48,000 --> 02:53:54,000
And Pagan's home run pitch does not go into the record book.

2746
02:53:54,000 --> 02:53:58,000
After the Brewers had gone to the clubhouse, they were told, come on back.

2747
02:53:58,000 --> 02:54:03,000
And they did. Pagan then got Don Money to fly to right.

2748
02:54:03,000 --> 02:54:08,000
George Scott sent in a sacrifice fly, scoring Robin Young from third.

2749
02:54:08,000 --> 02:54:16,000
We now have runners at first and third for the Brewers. Bobby Darwin is at first. Pedro Garcia at third.

2750
02:54:16,000 --> 02:54:22,000
The tying runs are at base, and Darrell Porter is at the plate.

2751
02:54:22,000 --> 02:54:29,000
The Yankees lead 9-7. Porter, two for four in the ball game, flies to right, single to center, score the run.

2752
02:54:29,000 --> 02:54:35,000
First pitch, low and outside, Dempsey, good defense to play, blocks the baseball.

2753
02:54:35,000 --> 02:54:39,000
Porter flies to right, single to center, took a call, third strike and single to right.

2754
02:54:39,000 --> 02:54:52,000
So he's two for four, three for seven in this two-game series. And the pitch outside, ball two.

2755
02:54:52,000 --> 02:55:02,000
On deck for the Brewers is Henry Aron. Porter now steps out.

2756
02:55:02,000 --> 02:55:12,000
Here's the 2-0 pitch outside, ball three. A base on balls would send the tying run in a scoring position down at second base.

2757
02:55:12,000 --> 02:55:17,000
Third base on fire, Russ Getz.

2758
02:55:17,000 --> 02:55:28,000
Is now calling the whole plate on fire, George Belloni.

2759
02:55:28,000 --> 02:55:37,000
And another timeout was called. This one by third base on fire, Russ Getz. So it is not 3-0, it is 2-0.

2760
02:55:37,000 --> 02:55:41,000
The Brewers are losing the timeout battle.

2761
02:55:41,000 --> 02:55:48,000
Two balls, no strikes. And the pitch, check swing, strike one.

2762
02:55:48,000 --> 02:55:55,000
Right in front of the Yankee dugout, it is entirely littered with debris. Mostly paper cups, a couple of cans.

2763
02:55:55,000 --> 02:56:00,000
Two-one pitch bounce over the mound. Randolph has only one plate of shambles at first.

2764
02:56:00,000 --> 02:56:04,000
He gets them and the ballgame is over. The New York Yankees have won it.

2765
02:56:04,000 --> 02:56:09,000
The Yankees have beaten the Milwaukee Brewers in an incredible, exciting finish.

2766
02:56:09,000 --> 02:56:13,000
Here at the county stadium of Milwaukee, it is the Yankees heading to the dugout.

2767
02:56:13,000 --> 02:56:17,000
They are hit by paper cups, but they have won the ballgame.

2768
02:56:17,000 --> 02:56:23,000
The ballgame is over. The final score, the New York Yankees, nine, and the Milwaukee Brewers, seven.

2769
02:56:23,000 --> 02:56:27,000
We'll be back with today's game totals right after this message.
