00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
The Kansas City Royals faced the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium for a Tuesday night game on May 1st, 1973.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:22,000
In 1971, Bob Lemon had guided the Royals to their first winning season since the franchise began as an expansion team in 1969.

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:30,000
In 1972, however, the Royals finished below 500, and Royals owner Ewing Kaufman fired Lemon as manager, saying he wanted someone younger.

5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,000
He hired assistant coach Jack McKeon, who was getting managerial offers from other clubs during the offseason.

6
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Kaufman later admitted he fired Lemon because he did not want to lose Jack McKeon.

7
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:49,000
The Yankees were managed by Ralph Hauk, and pressure was on Hauk in 1973, as he had only managed to finish above 500 three times in his eight seasons and had never made the playoffs.

8
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,000
This audio recording is from the New York Radio broadcast featuring announcers Frank Messer and Bill White.

9
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000
We'll be watching clients every move, especially early in this fall game.

10
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Steve doesn't feel that that strained shoulder affects his sinker, and just threw his first pitch.

11
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
It looks like he's throwing freely.

12
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000
I remember in Milwaukee after he threw the pitch and hurt the shoulder, he pushed the ball up there.

13
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Now he finished the inning out and then had to leave.

14
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Of course it was cool up there in Milwaukee that day. It's cool here tonight.

15
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,000
But Steve just broke off a good breaking ball, so it looks like he's got at least all his pitches.

16
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:01,000
I think he was a little bit worried about being able to throw the breaking ball, but he just threw a good breaking ball.

17
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000
So it looks like Steve Klein's ready.

18
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,000
All right, the KC coaches. Harry Dunlop moves into a new position, coaching at third base.

19
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,000
And Charlie Lau, who is also the Kansas City batting coach, is coaching down at first base.

20
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
And if I'm not mistaken, well, I know that Charlie Lau was a catcher during his playing days,

21
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:27,000
and it seems to me that Harry Dunlop was too.

22
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,000
All right, here we go as Freddie Patek steps in, and we're all set for action here at Yankee Stadium,

23
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:40,000
getting underway all about 25 minutes or so past the normal starting time because of the rain.

24
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Patek is batting 265. He's a right-hander.

25
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Steve Klein into the windup. Here comes the first pitch. It's over for a called strike, and this game is underway.

26
00:02:52,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Patek has been up 83 times with 22 hits, five doubles, one triple, one home run, and he has already stolen six bases.

27
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:11,000
The windup by Klein, the pitch coming. Popped up. Foul. A fair territory down. The third base line played on a hop by Nettles.

28
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:26,000
He throws on to first base in time. Patek is out one down.

29
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
So there's one out, and here is Cookie Rojas, the second baseman.

30
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:37,000
And between him, Patek and Rojas give this club a good double play combination. They are strong up the middle defensively.

31
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,000
And Rojas comes in with a hot bat, hitting 310, 27 base hits.

32
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,000
More than any other starter in this ballgame tonight, as far as the Royals are concerned, and eight of those hits have been doubles.

33
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
He takes long away, ball one.

34
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Backlings say Rojas has more base hits than any other player in this game.

35
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Thurman Munson of the Yankees leads them with 26. Rojas, the right-hand batter, the one-hole pitch.

36
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Breaking ball just outside. Two balls and no strikes.

37
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Rojas can also steal a base.

38
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:20,000
He is at three. We look at the top three men in the batting order. Between them, they have 12 stolen bases.

39
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:28,000
The first ball on inside makes it ball three, three and all. Rojas steps out, looks down at Dunlop, the third base coach.

40
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Still looking down there, taking a couple of practice swings, and now with a final look, he moves back in.

41
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Feet spread, and the three-hole pitch. Inside, ball four.

42
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000
So Rojas draws a walk, and the Royals get the game's first baserunner.

43
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,000
The batter will be Amos Otis, the center fielder.

44
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,000
There's a man who can also do a lot of things.

45
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:03,000
He's got a 295 batting average, 26 base hits, six doubles, one triple, four home runs, 12 runs batted in.

46
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:12,000
This club scores a lot of runs, Bill. I'm just looking down. He seems like nearly everybody's in double figures and runs score.

47
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:20,000
They also then must drive in a lot of runs. Yep, nearly everybody's in double figures in RBIs, too.

48
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:26,000
All right, one out, a runner at first, no score. Bloomberg's holding on the runner, Rojas, and here's the pitch to Otis.

49
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Breaking ball is outside, ball one. Amos Otis hitting 295.

50
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Looking down the run score column, Potak 19, Rojas 15, Otis 17, Mayberry 17, Kirkpatrick 13, Penella 10.

51
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Runs batted in. They have five men in double figures.

52
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Rojas 14, Otis 12, Mayberry the big man, 19, Kirkpatrick 14, Penella 15.

53
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Stretched by Klein, he stamps the left foot, checks the runner and deals.

54
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,000
That's a fast ball over the outside corner for a strike, and it's one and one.

55
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,000
One ball, one strike to the right hand hitting Amos Otis.

56
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,000
This club, Frank, Kansas City's averaging over four and a half runs a game.

57
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Hmm.

58
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:26,000
All right, again, Rojas takes his lead. Throw over there, and he's back.

59
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Bill told you the umpires tonight are Bill Holler at the plate.

60
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Rookie Joe Brinkman at first base, Ron Luciano is at second base, and Dave Phillips at third.

61
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:43,000
It's good to see Ron Luciano again. It was here that he became ill before a game last year and missed the rest of the season.

62
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Quick throw to first state.

63
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Ball and a strike to count on Amos Otis.

64
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,000
These two clubs meet again out here tomorrow night.

65
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Seven-thirty ball game, and then the Yankees go on the road.

66
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:07,000
The order, Chicago, and out to the Twin Cities, Minnesota, a beautiful part of the country.

67
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Klein ready again, comes off the stretch, sets below the belt and deals, and the pitch is cut on and fouled back.

68
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Ball and two strikes.

69
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Otis has stepped out again. He steps out after every swing.

70
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:36,000
He can do a lot of things. He has good speed, good arm, good defensive outfielder.

71
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,000
He can hit for average, hit for distance.

72
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Six doubles, one triple, four homers.

73
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Twelve runs, but it ends. Quick throw to first, no play.

74
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Rojas gets back.

75
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:00,000
And Otis has stepped out again.

76
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Now Klein looks down. The throw to Munson, picks up his side.

77
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Wide and left, Mercer in center, Matty Lowe in right, is spread out on Otis.

78
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
White, the deep man, in left field. Here comes the pitch.

79
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Cut on, ground ball, left side. Nettles up with it, throws it second out there, back to first save.

80
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000
And going in hard at second base, Rojas, and he's shaken up.

81
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Rojas is slow getting up, and now the umpire out there at second base, Ron Luciano, is calling Charlie Lowe and Harry Dunlop out to check on Rojas.

82
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
He went in hard to the bag.

83
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Nettles went to his left to field that ball and had a little trouble getting it out of his glove.

84
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:44,000
The trainer, Jim Dudley, comes out now to take a look, and Rojas under his own paw, and up he's limping a little bit though.

85
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000
We'll have to see whether he can continue in this game or not.

86
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Right now we'll say this is the New York Yankee Baseball Network. We pause for station identification.

87
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Hope you're enjoying the game. This is Bill Edwardson, the host of Breakfast with Bill.

88
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,000
In the morning we have music, we have comedy on the Grub Club, we have Dave Smith on sports.

89
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:08,000
The only thing we lack is you. Where have you been? Join us in the morning on WTVK FM Rensselaer.

90
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:14,000
All right, right now, time is called as Munson goes out to the mound.

91
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,000
That was not really a good double play ball. Nettles had to go deep to his left.

92
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Then he had a little trouble getting the ball out of the glove, and there was a lot of speed to contend with there too.

93
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Otis gets down the line very quickly.

94
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:32,000
It's all with two outs, a runner at first. Here is John Mayberry, the big first baseman.

95
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Mayberry is hitting 224, but he has five home runs and 19 runs let in.

96
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:45,000
He's a left-hand hitter. Now he steps out.

97
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Now he's back in again.

98
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Brian checks his runner and deals down low, ball one to Mayberry.

99
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Just happened to think, Bill, what our first night game at Yankee Stadium.

100
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Did it? No? Did it? Friday we were rained out. We didn't get to play that one, but this one is, isn't it?

101
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:26,000
By the one-hole pitch, to Mayberry. Low and outside, ball two, two balls and no strikes.

102
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Mayberry is a big kid, 6'3", 220 pounds, 23 years old from Detroit, Michigan.

103
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,000
He has attended the University of Michigan.

104
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:47,000
He bounces around there on that batter's box. Up on his right toes and his left toes.

105
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Holds the bat. Here's the pitch. Check swing and it's fouled straight back.

106
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Two balls and one strike to Mayberry.

107
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Mayberry was up and down with the Houston Astros.

108
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Last year was the first time he had a chance to play a full season for a major league team.

109
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:16,000
He got 149 games and responded with a 298 batting average, 25 home runs, and even 100 runs let in.

110
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Two balls and a strike to him. Two outs, a runner at first, no score.

111
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:28,000
There's the set by Klein. Spins, throws to first, save.

112
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Yodas can steal a base. He has three stolen bases.

113
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Klein keeping a close eye on him.

114
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Adioulu couldn't get much deeper out there in right field. He's back almost to the track.

115
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Don't blame him. Here's the next pitch. Outside to Mayberry, ball three, three and one.

116
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:50,000
That would appear that Klein is trying to keep the ball away from this big slugger.

117
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Now Mayberry is going to think about it, walk slowly over toward the on deck circle.

118
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,000
And he gets the tar rag from Ed Kirkpatrick.

119
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Now he's going to walk over there and talk to Kirkpatrick, picks up the rosin bag.

120
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Here he comes back.

121
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Takes a couple of practice swings.

122
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:24,000
I don't guess McKeon has told his folks, make that pitcher wait out there. Everybody stamp it out.

123
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Three balls and a strike, two outs.

124
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Otis leads away at first base, the set by Klein. There goes Otis. The pitcher's taking ball four outside.

125
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,000
So with the runner going, Mayberry draws a walk.

126
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:50,000
And the next batter will be Ed Spanky Kirkpatrick.

127
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:56,000
We see an infielder, Bobby Floyd, running down toward the bullpen, perhaps to warm up.

128
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Could be an indication of Rojas, but his leg to the point where he will not be able to continue in this game

129
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:08,000
because Floyd has gone down to the bullpen and he will start throwing, loosening up his throwing arm down there.

130
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:15,000
We'll have to see whether Rojas can come out for the bottom half of the inning or not.

131
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:23,000
All right, two men on with two outs. Ed Kirkpatrick, left hand hitting right fielder. He can also catch.

132
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,000
And he can play first base.

133
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:34,000
First pitch joined. Strive gets called. Strive got it over with the knees. Kirkpatrick is hitting 375.

134
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:47,000
18 base hits, including six doubles and three home runs with 14 runs batted in.

135
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Fine check second for Otis. And his pitch to Kirkpatrick. Cut out, hit on the ground, a clock.

136
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:58,000
He's up with a clip to Gene Michael at second base. They have the fourth on Mayberry to retire the side.

137
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:06,000
A 4-6, force out. And for the KC Royals, no runs, no hits. There were two walks and two men left.

138
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:12,000
At the end of the top half of the first inning, the straw. Kansas City nothing and New York coming to bat.

139
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Where you believe the world, the world gets around. Where you believe the world, the world gets around.

140
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Abso Financial Services believes in people from Hoboken, New Jersey to Hilo, Hawaii, from Missoula, Montana to Melbourne, Australia.

141
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Over one million people every year with over one million loans for everything from appliances to x-rays.

142
00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:01,000
So when you come into Abso, you come into money. Because if you deserve the credit at Abso, you get it.

143
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Where you believe the world, the world gets around. Where you believe the world, the world gets around.

144
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:22,000
The Yankees and the Royals will play here again tomorrow night. It will be young, hard-throwing right-hander George Koch Medich on the mound with the Yankees.

145
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:29,000
And Slitdorf, Paul Slitdorf, a left-hander, will be going for the Kansas City Royals.

146
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Medich has won two games and lost none. Slitdorf has won three, and he's lost one.

147
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:42,000
All right, right. And Bobby Floyd has come in to play second base for Rojas, hurting his leg going in a second as a baserunner is out of the ballgame.

148
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:56,000
The pitch to Horace Clark is low ball one. Clark is hitting 274. He has 20 base hits, one double, five runs done at him.

149
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:06,000
This ball, too, had to play for low again, two balls and no strikes. Ken Wright is making his third start and sixth appearance of the season.

150
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:17,000
He's relieved three times. He comes in with a strike, two and one. Wright has won one, lost none.

151
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:23,000
He's pitched 17 innings, and Clark swings a misser.

152
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:30,000
This guy's supposed to be what you call super swift. He has all the pictures, a good hard fastball, a curve ball, and a slider.

153
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
But he relies mainly on his fastball.

154
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Oh, there it was, and he struck Clark out with a high fastball. Wright tens of times to be a bit wild.

155
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:49,000
He so far this year has given up a walk for each inning pitch and a base hit for each inning pitch.

156
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:55,000
He struck out a man for each inning pitch.

157
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:01,000
All right, Clark down on strikes. Here is Roy White.

158
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Third ball is in on White for a strike. Roy is batting 176, 13 hits, all of them singles, five runs let it in.

159
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Wright finds, puts the fastball inside, spins wide away from the plate.

160
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,000
One ball, one strike, one out, nobody out, and no score here in the first inning.

161
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Next pitch, fastball is in for a strike, two calls.

162
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Wright looks over to his dugout. Six-two, 225 pounds.

163
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:52,000
These are big ones. One-two deal, fastball inside at the shoulders, two and two.

164
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Wright last year won one and lost two in 17 games, all in relief.

165
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Two-two pitch, low and inside, ball three.

166
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:17,000
Wright appeared in 30 games, all in relief, at Omaha last year as well, and there he won four and lost three.

167
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,000
This year he has won it all in his lifetime record against the Yankees, one win and two losses.

168
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:28,000
Three-two pitch to Roy White, swung on and lying out on the right field. That's going to be in for a base hit.

169
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:36,000
And on the roll by the right fielder, Ed Kirkpatrick, and Roy White is on with a one-out single.

170
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:43,000
So the Yankees get the first base hit in this ballgame, and the batter will be Matty Allou, the right fielder.

171
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Matty is hitting 333, based on 16 for 48.

172
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:55,000
The 11 singles, four doubles, one home run, and five runs done and in.

173
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Bobby Mercer is out on deck.

174
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Berman Munson is the only right-hand batter in the Yankee lineup tonight.

175
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Well, of course, the three switch hitters, Clark, White, and Michael.

176
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Pitch to Matty, strike, one is called, over at the knees, and the third baseman, Paul Shaw, came charging in to protect against the Bunch.

177
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,000
A report is being made on the condition of Cookie Rojas, and Bill White will pass it along.

178
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Pitch is inside, backs Allou up.

179
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Horace Clark, when he came down in second, Frank, stepped on the ankle of Rojas, and he's been spiked.

180
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000
He expects to be back within a day or so.

181
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:49,000
That's the story on Rojas, spiked in the ankle, going in to break up a possible double play.

182
00:19:49,000 --> 00:20:07,000
One-one pitch here, and Allou runs up to button, takes it low, ball two, and that pitch crossed up the catcher, Fran Healy, and he goes out there now to talk to Ken Wright.

183
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:21,000
Two balls and one strike to Matty Allou.

184
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Matty chokes out several inches on the bat handle.

185
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,000
Roy White takes his lead, the pitch is low and inside.

186
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Three balls and one strike.

187
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:46,000
And we'll keep an eye on White. He's looking across the diamond, that third base coach, Dick Hauser, Elston Howard, of course, coaching him first for the Yankees.

188
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:52,000
We'll see if White is running on a three-one pitch. He does not go, and it is taken outside, ball four.

189
00:20:52,000 --> 00:21:00,000
So Matty Allou draws a walk. That moves White to second, and with two on and one out, the batter is Bobby Mercer.

190
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:07,000
The Yankees' center fielder is hitting an even 300, 21 for 70.

191
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Two doubles, three home runs, and 11 runs got it in.

192
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Mercer leads the Yankees in runs scored with 14.

193
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:26,000
He is second in runs that had ended with 11. Greg Nettles, who comes out on deck, leads the club at RBIs with 12.

194
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Mercer wants Bill Haller to take a look at the baseball, and Haller checks it out, and he takes it out of play.

195
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Clips another one to Ken Wright.

196
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Very possibly, Matty Allou noticed something on that baseball. It's all Bobby.

197
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,000
At any rate, without a pitch being made, Greg Mercer gets the ball thrown out. He swings on it, and it's a fly ball.

198
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,000
It's fairly deep left-center field. Back goes Panella, the left fielder. He's there, and he makes the catch.

199
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:03,000
And the runners were playing it halfway. They go back.

200
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Mercer flies to Panella in deep left center. Two outs. The batter will be Greg Nettles, the Yankee third baseman, hitting 206,

201
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:22,000
but leading the club in home runs with four, and in runs got it in with 12.

202
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:38,000
Nettles, another left-hander, and Ronnie Bloomberg comes out on deck.

203
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:43,000
Nettles down on the end of the backhand. The runners again take their lead. They play Nettles as full hitter,

204
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:55,000
the infield and the outfield around to the right side. The pitch splits the plate for a called strike.

205
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Infield is backed off.

206
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Now the 0-1 delivery. Fastball is low, 1-1.

207
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Panella shades over towards center. The center fielder, Amosota, is well over in the gap toward right center field.

208
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:22,000
And Kirkpatrick deep and right. The pitch, cut on, hit on the ground, a second base.

209
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Dug up there by Bobby Floyd. He puts on the first to retire the side.

210
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:31,000
And for the Yankees, no runs, a base hit, two-manter left. At the end of one inning, the score, the Yankees nothing,

211
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,000
and Kansas City nothing.

212
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:41,000
All the power mowers on the market today start a job you have to finish, except one, the new Bowlands mulching mower.

213
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:47,000
It cuts your grass. It also cuts and recuts the clippings into a fine mulch that disappears down into your lawn,

214
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:55,000
out of sight, so you have no clippings to rake up, no cumbersome grass bags to empty. The job is finished in one pass.

215
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:01,000
The Bowlands mulching mower is not only quicker, it's safer because there's no dangerous discharge shoot.

216
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,000
This also means you can trim close to lawn borders with both sides of the mower.

217
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:11,000
So if you've been emptying grass bags or raking up unsightly clippings, try the new Bowlands mulching mower,

218
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,000
the one that does the whole job in one pass.

219
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:23,000
In 22-inch push and self-propelled models, as well as an 18-inch trimmer, manual or electric start, the Bowlands mulching mowers.

220
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:30,000
They'll keep you a good yard ahead. See them now. There are 21 Bowlands servicing dealers in the WQBK listing area.

221
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:35,000
See the one near you. Distributed by ACA Outdoor Power Equipment, Inc.

222
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Looking at the scoreboard, the California Angels did not score their half of the first inning in their game against Detroit and Detroit,

223
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:53,000
senior against the Primon. And one other score, Texas nothing, Boston nothing, in Boston after two innings of play and against Lee.

224
00:24:53,000 --> 00:25:03,000
And the National, Houston Philadelphia, no score after two. Royce against Carlton. A couple of former Cardinal left-handers pitching against each other.

225
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Right here, the score is nothing, nothing. We're going into the top half of second inning.

226
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,000
Luke Pennella's in, and here's Frank Messer.

227
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,000
Luke Pennella, right-hand batter.

228
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Pennella hitting 289. He has hit only one home run, but has 15 runs battered in.

229
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:32,000
And he can't hit the long ball. He takes a pitch right in there for a call strike from Steve Klein.

230
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Al McCray on deck, and then Paul Shaw.

231
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
No ball, one strike count to Luke Pennella.

232
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:47,000
Pretty well up front in the batter's box. Bans quite a bit at the knees. Swings on a pitch, bouncing ball hits a third.

233
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Greg Nettles has it. Fires out across. That's all for Pennella. There's one away.

234
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:04,000
So all of the outs so far have been on ground balls, and if you're a Yankee fan and a Steve Klein fan and knowledgeable about Klein,

235
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:11,000
you know that that's an indication he has his stuff, because basically, like Scott Elmire, he is a sinker ball pitcher.

236
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,000
One out, nobody out, and Hal McCray in the batter. McCray, the designated hitter tonight, a right-hand batter.

237
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:23,000
And the pitch to him. Curb ball for a strike. Beautifully thrown curve. McCray is hitting 175.

238
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Two home runs, nine runs, battered in.

239
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:37,000
No score in this game. The windup by Klein and his pitch. Another curve ball hit deep down the left field line, and it is foul.

240
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:46,000
In the seats, but foul.

241
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:54,000
He got a lot of it. Pulled it just foul.

242
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Steve Klein's lifetime record against Kansas City, one win and two losses.

243
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:05,000
Steve, making his pitch start this year, he has pitched to one complete game. It was a two-hit shutout against Cleveland.

244
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Steve with an earned run average of 3.86.

245
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Into the line, the 0-2 pitch. Low and outside, a waste pitch, one and two.

246
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:29,000
The temperature at game time tonight was 60 degrees here at Yankee Stadium.

247
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:39,000
Klein has the sign, into the windup, and here's his pitch. Breaking ball. Oh, Mutsen brought that was a strike, but Haller says no.

248
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:47,000
A breaking pitch. Ball two, two and two.

249
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Paul Shaw, the third baseman, is on deck.

250
00:27:52,000 --> 00:28:09,000
Klein ready. The kick and the pitch. Low and outside, and the count is full, three and two.

251
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:15,000
Klein peers down to Mutsen and delivers. Pitch is hit on the ground foul.

252
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Just past the third base coach, Harry Dunlop. Count Rye, three and two. At Texas at Boston game, in the third inning,

253
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Stratus. Cleveland at Minnesota, rained out. California, Detroit, Baltimore at Chicago, and Oakland at Milwaukee, slightly later starts.

254
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Three-two pitch again. Fastball, drill foul, just outside of third.

255
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Again, McCray got around well on a Klein pitch. Looks like McCray is a lowball hitter, Frank.

256
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:51,000
He really rips that ball the batter around, and the ball's down low.

257
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Quick bat. Yep.

258
00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Again, the three-two pitch. Get on the ground, just foul, again outside of third, and that ball was stung.

259
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Again, McCray comes back. No score in this game. We're in the top half of the second inning.

260
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:18,000
If you're wondering about the lateness, we had about a 25-minute delay because of a light rain that fell before the start of the game.

261
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:24,000
To wind up, the three-two pitch again. Curbball is fouled back.

262
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Back off the mast of Bill Haller, the plate umpire, and the count holds three and two.

263
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:37,000
One National League score. Houston at Philadelphia, nothing to nothing. They're in the third inning.

264
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Mets are off tonight. Three-two pitch again. Get down the left field line. It is a fair ball, going for base seven, probably two.

265
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:53,000
McCray on his way to second base, and pulls in standing up with a double.

266
00:29:53,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Looks like he about went right down off the bat handle, looked it down the third base line, and he, as Bill White notices, he is holding his hands down there. That one's stung.

267
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:14,000
I think his hands are a little sore. He got really jammed. Fine, you know, he's basically a thicker ball pitcher, so all his pitches will be low.

268
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:20,000
It looks like McCray's a low ball hitter. That time, he's got the ball up a little bit and in a little bit, and really jammed him,

269
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:27,000
but now, really strong enough to get enough wood on the ball just above his hands and loop it out on the left for a couple.

270
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:36,000
All right, that's the first base hit for the Royals, and the batter is Paul Schaal, third baseman, right-hand hitter. Schaal is hitting 270.

271
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Stretched by Claw, and he checks the base runner, and the pitch to Schaal. Low ball work.

272
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Michael over toward the hole on Schaal. The outfield is spread out, with the deep man being white in left.

273
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Nettles does not play tight to the line. He is fairly wide. Clark shades toward second.

274
00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:00,000
The right side of the infield is pretty well open, and a 1-0 pitch will be coming.

275
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Here it is. A ball must have been just a bit inside. Two balls or no strikes.

276
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:20,000
Schaal has been up 74 times with 20 hits, four doubles, nine runs, got it in.

277
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:27,000
He came back from a very serious beating up a few years ago.

278
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Fine, checks McCray at second. Kicks and deals. Pitch is hit in the air out toward shallow right center. Back goes Clark. In comes Mercer. Clark calls and makes the catch.

279
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:51,000
Morris Clark going back into shallow right center to retire Schaal. Two outs, and the catcher, Fran Healy, steps in.

280
00:31:51,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Healy has a right hand batter hitting 158. Three hits in 19 trips. Two of his three hits have been doubles.

281
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Fine looks back at second for Hal McCray. No score here in the top of the second inning. There's the set by the young Yankee right hander and his pitch breaking ball on the outside corner. Strike one.

282
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:35,000
On deck, Freddie Patek.

283
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:47,000
Healy straight away in the batter's box down at the end of the bat handle. Gloves on both hands. Pitch is inside, drives him back.

284
00:32:47,000 --> 00:33:02,000
No, Healy was originally selected by the Royals and the Cleveland Indians back in 68. And the Royals sent him to the San Francisco Giants for a Bob Garibaldi pitchers in 1970. And now he's made the return back to the Royals.

285
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Okay, Bill. One-one pitch will be coming to him. Slowing outside. Two balls and one strike. From Holyoke, Massachusetts. Fran Healy. Big kid, 6'5", 210.

286
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Got a long way to get down there behind the plate. Like Tom Heller. Oh, giant catchers. Big fella. Alright, two-one pitch coming. Get on the ground at third. Dug up by Nettles.

287
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:43,000
He throws to first. We gotta tell you why we're laughing. The base runner McCray ran right into it. All Heller had to do was reach out and tag him for the out. He threw across instead.

288
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:52,000
And the side is retired. No runs of base hit. A man left. And at the end of the top half of the second inning, the score. Kansas City, Norfolk, and New York nothing.

289
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:23,000
You know, regardless of what every kind of product you've been there, there's one brand that stands you cut above the other.

290
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:31,000
When it comes to a beer, the one that you cut above, Schaefer comes on first beer bright, first beer rewarding, every beer through.

291
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:38,000
The first Rossi cold glass you're very lucky. That's why Schaefer is the one beer to have when you're having more than one.

292
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:56,000
And brother, that's the beer you've got coming.

293
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Bottom half of the second inning, Rodney Bloomberg will lead off with the Yankees to be followed by Thurman Munson and then Johnny Callison.

294
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Bloomberg is hitting 278. Had quite a second game Sunday, four base hits.

295
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:20,000
Bloomberg left hand on her. Rodney has the deciding hit in the first game Sunday.

296
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:31,000
And he looks at the fastball outside.

297
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:35,000
And he winds again and deals. Fastball is fouled back upstairs.

298
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:41,000
Trying to get a fastball by Bloomberg. He's a good fastball hitter.

299
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:46,000
And the fastball, of course, as Bill White mentioned before, is Wright's. Big pitch.

300
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:51,000
It's going to be interesting. One-one deal. Fastball has gone out in this.

301
00:35:51,000 --> 00:36:02,000
So right now is challenging Bloomberg with his fastball. A ball and two strikes.

302
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:08,000
One-two pitch. Fouled back upstairs.

303
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:15,000
He's telling quick this guy can't right, Frank, because Ron, who is a good fastball hitter, is fouling that ball off on the left side.

304
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Fouling it off.

305
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Wind the pitch again, and it's high. Two balls, two strikes.

306
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Thurman Munson is on deck, and then Johnny Callison here in the bottom half of the second. No score.

307
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:42,000
Wright delivers. This time he curves him and just missed with it. Three balls, two strikes.

308
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:50,000
The second baseman, Bobby Floyd, playing back to the edge of the grass down on Bloomberg with Pup-Tex shaded toward the bag at second.

309
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:55,000
The outfield slightly to right. The pitch. High. Ball four.

310
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:01,000
He curved him and missed up high again. Bloomberg is on, and that is the second walk allowed by Ken Wright.

311
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:06,000
As we told you, Wright has averaged a walk-in inning so far this year.

312
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:12,000
He walked one man in the first.

313
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Actually, in the first inning, he matched his yearly figures with giving up one walk, struck out one man, and allowed one base hit.

314
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:23,000
And he has averaged one of each for an inning so far.

315
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:31,000
The Yankees on the right-hand hitter now, Thurman Munson. Thurman batting 382.

316
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Best start of his major league career, a 10-game hitting streak going. Takes low ball one.

317
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:47,000
Munson is currently second among the top ten hitters in the American League.

318
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:56,000
Matt Kelly of Chicago is the number one hitter. You know, Munson hitting 382, second to Kelly, and Kelly is about 100 points ahead of him.

319
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:02,000
Matt Kelly is off to an unbelievable start for tuning. Kelly is hitting, what, Bill, 486, you tell me?

320
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:07,000
You've got Munson by 104 points.

321
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:18,000
He takes a strike. The count evens one and one.

322
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,000
Runner at first, nobody out. Mayberry holding on Bloomberg. The pitch.

323
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:31,000
On the outside, corner of strike two called. Munson is arguing the call with plate umpire Bill Haller.

324
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:37,000
Thurman told him it sounded outside.

325
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,000
Haller's saying, not to me it didn't.

326
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:44,000
Looks like it was on the outside corner.

327
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Thurman too. Gallison on deck.

328
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,000
Stretched by right is Fetch. Fast ball. It's slowly right side of the mound.

329
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,000
Fielded by the pitcher. Flips to Mayberry at first. In time to get Munson.

330
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:03,000
On the play, Bloomberg goes to second. Munson is out and we're going to step out.

331
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:07,000
This is the New York Yankee Baseball Network. We pause for station identification.

332
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:13,000
Hi, this is Jack Hopkey. There are sports in the afternoon at WQBK FM Rensselaer, even when they're on at Yankee games.

333
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,000
Dave Smith is with me on my show at a quarter before each hour between three and seven.

334
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:26,000
OTB results, socks, and a lot of good music too. So stop by the Jack Hopkey Show three to seven.

335
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,000
Here is Johnny Callison, the Yankees' designated hitter tonight.

336
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:35,000
And right starts him off with a fast ball inside. Ball one.

337
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Callison is hitting 167. He has five base hits, three singles, two doubles, and three runs better than.

338
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:50,000
Gene Michael is on deck. The pitch. Popped up.

339
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Right near the play. Healy looking for it. Now in foul territory. He's under it and one hands it.

340
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:04,000
He almost lost it. He had to reach back over his left shoulder and got it actually in the webbing of his catcher's mitt.

341
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:12,000
So Callison pops out to the catcher Fran Healy in foul territory.

342
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Two outs, one bag at second. And the batter is Gene Michael, the Yankee shortstop.

343
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Michael is hitting an even 200, 11 for 55. He has nine singles, one double, one home run, and six runs better than.

344
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:35,000
Switch hitter up there batting left. Right straddles the rubber. Out throws in again and looks down to Healy for his side.

345
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:55,000
Checks Bloomberg at second and fires a fast ball on inside. Ball one.

346
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Right looks back to second and delivers the plate. Swing and a miss. Got around late on the fast ball. One and one.

347
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:13,000
They allow Bloomberg a good lead off second. Put Pottsack over in the hole.

348
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:31,000
And Floyd backed off. The next pitch inside spins him out. Two balls and a strike.

349
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:37,000
Right checks back and comes in with a fast ball inside at the hands. Ball three.

350
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:44,000
So right behind the count now to Gene Michael, three and one. Two outs, Bloomberg at second base.

351
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:52,000
No score here in the second inning. It's a set. Three one six. Come on, pops up again and fouls round.

352
00:41:52,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Back comes Healy. He may have room, may not. Back to the screen, can't get to it. Ball is on the screen.

353
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Freeze that time, blew it away from him and back on the screen. Wolf count three and two.

354
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:27,000
These two teams play again here tomorrow night. Then the Yankees go on the road for a short spell to play the White Sox in Chicago.

355
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:32,000
And the Minnesota Twins out in Bloomington, Minnesota. Three two pitch to Michael.

356
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,000
Bloomberg leads at second. Michael rides a face hit into right field.

357
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:42,000
After the ball Kirkpatrick may be a play to play. Here comes Bloomberg. Here's the throw. He slides, he's straight.

358
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:47,000
Throw gets away. Change down by the pitcher right all the way to the backstop.

359
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:53,000
And on to second base goes Michael. The Yankees make the lead, learn nothing.

360
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:59,000
Kirkpatrick firing through from right field trying to shut down Bloomberg.

361
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:03,000
Rodney scores as the throw gets away from the catcher Healy.

362
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:09,000
It's a single and a run butted in for Michael. And Michael goes to second base on the throw home.

363
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:21,000
And on the throw home a frank message to catcher Fran Healy was given an error for allowing that ball to go through it.

364
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:25,000
To allow Michael to go to second base.

365
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Alright here's Ars Clark. He's struck out his first time up and he is almost hit by the pitch.

366
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:36,000
Inside almost got in.

367
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:42,000
He really got out of there in a hurry. That's a, might have to say a tough error to say.

368
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:46,000
It is. Evidently the official scorer saw Gene Michael stop at first base.

369
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:51,000
The first base for Mayberry gave a good fake. We kept him there. Then there's the ball that's by. Gene went on to second.

370
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:57,000
Okay. Clark gets a base hit up the middle. The line put over second. Michael around third. He'll score.

371
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,000
And the Yankees really turn up it.

372
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:14,000
Gene Michael dropping the plate. On a base hit by Clark.

373
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:18,000
Now the Yankees break on top of the Royals 2 to nothing.

374
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:28,000
And the batter now is Roy Wy. Roy single in the first inning.

375
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:35,000
The runs about to end for Michael number seven. And for Clark number six of the year.

376
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:45,000
The fighter's now hitting 187. Swings on the first pitch. And he fouls it down off his right foot.

377
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:58,000
White fouling one straight down off his foot. Strike one.

378
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:13,000
Clark at first. Mayberry holding him on. Quick throw over there by Wright. No tag. He is back in plenty of time.

379
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:29,000
And Manny Alou is on deck. There goes Clark. The pitch is taken low. The throw to second base. He's safe.

380
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:44,000
Stolen base for Horace Clark is second of the year. White took the pitch for a ball one and one.

381
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:50,000
Set by Wright. His next pitch. Inside with a fastball. Almost hit White.

382
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:56,000
I'll tell you one thing. They're not going to dig in on Ken Wright.

383
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:02,000
Oh he's been missing inside even and away from right handers. So evidently he's got a groove in there.

384
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,000
When the right hand is up there he's been aiming at the inside part of the plate.

385
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:11,000
And when the left hand is up there he's still bringing a fastball inside. And when he misses inside he's further inside.

386
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:18,000
He almost hit Clark. And then Clark almost hit him with a line drive back up the middle. And he almost got White there.

387
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:22,000
Two balls in one strike. The catcher here he had gone after the mound. He's back now.

388
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:29,000
In the crotch, gives the side, sets up a target and here's the pitch. Cut on and miss.

389
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:36,000
That one got away from Healy up the third baseline. But he kept the ball in front of him. No chance for Clark to move up.

390
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:45,000
Two and two to count. Yankees in front two nothing here in the bottom half of the second inning.

391
00:46:45,000 --> 00:47:05,000
Two outs. Clark at second. Two balls two strikes to White. Wright brings it and it's high. Ball three full count.

392
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Wright ready with a three-two pitch. It's on the way and he's up high with an off-speed pitch. Ball four.

393
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:21,000
Delroy White goes down to first base. Time is called and here comes Jack McKinn.

394
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:29,000
The manager of the Kansas City Royals. That is the third walk.

395
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:34,000
Given up by Wright. The Yankees have runners at first and second.

396
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:46,000
Looks like McKinn wants a pitcher. He didn't waste much time as he got to the third base foul line. He motioned with his left hand so he must want a left-hander.

397
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:51,000
Looks like Mike Jackson, a left-hander, getting ready to get into the Dots and then come on into the ball game.

398
00:47:51,000 --> 00:48:00,000
So super swift Kenny Wright is taking a super swift exit. And while they bring in the next pitcher I'll give you some scores.

399
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:08,000
The Texas Rangers picked up three runs in the top of the third and they lead the Boston Red Sox 3-0 after three full innings of play.

400
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:13,000
And against Lee in that ball game. The California Angels picked up a run in their half of the second inning.

401
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:21,000
And the Tigers are batting in the last of the second. The Angels ahead 1-0. Zinger against Primus.

402
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:30,000
And the National League, the Houston Astros and the Philadelphia Phillies putting up a lot of zeros. No score with the Phillies batting in the bottom of the fourth.

403
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:40,000
Royce against Steve Carlton, Montal and Atlanta. No score after two. More against Gentry.

404
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:51,000
So Steve Wright leaves. Kenny Wright leaves. And it's Mike Jackson, a left-hander who's from Patterson, New Jersey.

405
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:59,000
Still lives in Patterson. They call this fellow Twiggy. He's a left-hander. 6-3, 195. Fits last year at Kansas City.

406
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,000
Split the Cs between Kansas City and Omaha.

407
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:10,000
Well, I may have... No, they just announced over to PA, Wayne Simpson, but that's not Simpson.

408
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,000
Simpson's a little right-hander. That's right. You're right.

409
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:17,000
Bob Shepard shook me up there for just a second. He misread the number.

410
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:26,000
Simpson's a right-hander who pitched for the Cincinnati Reds. He's a big fella, too. He's a little chubbier than Mike Jackson.

411
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:38,000
This is a left-hander, Mike Jackson. Here's a correction. Jackson split last year with Omaha and Kansas City.

412
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:44,000
At Kansas City, he started three games for them. He was in seven total, so he relieved in four others.

413
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:57,000
He won one, and he lost two. So Mike Jackson in there now a left-hander pitching for the Kansas City Royals.

414
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:05,000
All right, first man to face him will be Matty Alou.

415
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:13,000
And the Aggie switch hitters will be swinging around and batting from the other side.

416
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:18,000
He completes his warm-up throws. The Yankees have runners at first and second.

417
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:31,000
Two outs. Matty Alou walked in the first inning. McKinney has allowed two runs, three hits. Walked three and struck out one.

418
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:35,000
And now the tall left-hander, Mike Jackson, ready to work for Matty Alou.

419
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:45,000
The runners edge away, and the pitch. Strike call to slider.

420
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:56,000
Matty Alou hitting 333. Bobby Mercer is on deck.

421
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:00,000
A look back to second, the kick and the pitch. Down low this time, one and one.

422
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:09,000
Mike Jackson's first start last year. In fact, the first major league start was against the Yankees, and he won that ballgame.

423
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:14,000
He won seven innings, gave up seven hits, and he won five to one.

424
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:22,000
Okay, Bill. He deals again, and this one is in the dirt, blocked nicely by the catcher, Fran Healy.

425
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:35,000
Well, that was his only win last year, too. He won one and lost two.

426
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,000
And in the dirt again, ball three.

427
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:46,000
Folks over in Patterson, New Jersey may remember Jackson. He was quite a pitcher at Patterson's Central High School.

428
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:53,000
He had two consecutive no-hitters, in which he struck out 42 batters in 20 innings.

429
00:51:53,000 --> 00:52:00,000
You don't forget things like that. He misses here, ball four. Matty Alou walks, and the bases are loaded.

430
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:07,000
Clark goes on to third, white to second. Matty Alou on at first, drawing his second walk in the ballgame.

431
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:18,000
And now Bobby Mercer with the bases loaded and two outs.

432
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:27,000
Mike Jackson won game in high school, Bill, struck out 22 men in the ballgame, and lost it. That's tough.

433
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:34,000
He's ready to work the Mercer, and the pitch. He gets a breaking ball in, strike one.

434
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:40,000
Mercer is hitting 296. He flat out deep to the left fielder, Pennella, his first time up.

435
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:47,000
They play him to full, the outfield and the infield.

436
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:53,000
No balls and one strike. Bases loaded, two outs. Clark at third, white at second, Matty Alou at first.

437
00:52:53,000 --> 00:53:00,000
Greg Nettles is on deck. Short stretch by Jackson. He kicks and deals, and he's low and outside,

438
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:10,000
heeling to his knees to save it, one and one.

439
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:14,000
Yankees have scored twice here in the second inning, leading the ballgame 2-0.

440
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:19,000
Next pitch, Jack swaying in a strike ball, the ball and two strikes.

441
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:34,000
Bobby started to go, changed his mind, and now Jackson has the count in his favor. One ball, two strikes.

442
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:38,000
And then when Mercer comes up, the fans sort of edge up on their seats. Here it comes, hit on the ground,

443
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:43,000
a first base, out it is a fair ball, it hits a bag. Mayberry takes it, steps on first.

444
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:50,000
Mercer is out and the side is retired. It hit the bag, took a crazy hop, but Mayberry came up with it.

445
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:56,000
So Mercer is out to Mayberry unassisted. The Yankees get two runs on two hits.

446
00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:00,000
There was one error and three men are left on base. At the end of two innings of play,

447
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:09,000
the score is New York 2 and Kansas City nothing.

448
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:16,000
At the Getty Oil Company, we sell premium gasoline for a few cents less per gallon than most other major premiums.

449
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Now there are three ways of looking at what that difference in price can mean to you.

450
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:30,000
One, the money you save. If you drive around 12,000 miles a year and use Getty premium instead of another major premium,

451
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:35,000
you save around $30. Two, the extra gas you get.

452
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:43,000
The $30 you save by using Getty premium is enough money to buy another 75 gallons of Getty premium.

453
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:53,000
And three, the extra miles you get. That 75 extra gallons of Getty premium is enough gas to take you about 1,000 miles.

454
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:59,000
A $30 savings, 75 more gallons or 1,000 more miles.

455
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:07,000
That's the difference between Getty premium and most other major premiums.

456
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:11,000
All right, a quick look on the scoreboard. California 1, Detroit nothing at the end of two.

457
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:14,000
Bill Singer for the Angels and Woody Friedman for the Tigers.

458
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:21,000
Cleveland and Minnesota rained out. Texas 3, Boston nothing at the end of three and one-and-a-half innings of play.

459
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:25,000
Rich hand for Texas. Bill Lee starting that ballgame for Boston.

460
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:31,000
And those are the American League scores. Bill White will give you the National League scores as he takes over the play-by-play.

461
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:32,000
Bill?

462
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:37,000
All right, Franklin. Here's friendly Poptek against Klein. And Steve misses outside with the breaking ball.

463
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:42,000
We're going into the top half, the third inning. The Yankees ahead, two-nothing. Poptek has been up once.

464
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:48,000
He bounced the third. He bats right at it. He's only 5'4". Weighs about 145 pounds.

465
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,000
The next bench is inside. It's one-and-one.

466
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:57,000
Meadows enclosed at third for him. Michael is a halfway short. Clark straight away at second.

467
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,000
And Ron Bloomberg, a step-a-doo behind the bag and wide at first.

468
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:07,000
Here's a 2-0 pitch. Ball three outside. Three balls, no strikes.

469
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:13,000
Steve Klein so far has given up just one hit to the Royals.

470
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:19,000
Here's a 3-0 pitch to Poptek. Ball outside. Ball four.

471
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:24,000
This fellow's hard to pitch to. He's only 5'4".

472
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:31,000
Better roll it up there and hope it hits a pamphlet or something and jumps up in the strike zone.

473
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:37,000
So Poptek walks. He's on it first. And here's Bobby Floyd, the second baseman.

474
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,000
Floyd got into the ball game when Kukiroa slid in the second.

475
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:45,000
Kukiroa got spiked by the Yankees' second baseman, Horace Clark, and he had to leave the ball game.

476
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,000
Floyd came on and took his place in the bottom of the first.

477
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:52,000
So Floyd's making his first trip to the plate here tonight.

478
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:56,000
Klein stretches. Checks Poptek. A pitch. Swung on.

479
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,000
Wide drive. Pace in. Left field. Roy White in quickly.

480
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:03,000
He bobbles the ball and Poptek strikes it bad and he'll make it standing up.

481
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:08,000
White throws the ball in the second. And held it first. Paces Floyd.

482
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:15,000
So if Bobby Floyd had a single left field and as White bobbled that ball out there in left field,

483
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:20,000
Poptek shifted gears and went into third base. So White has given an error.

484
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:29,000
So Poptek down at third. Floyd on it first. And here's Amos Otis, the center fielder.

485
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:34,000
Otis bounced into a force out his first time up. Hits right-handed. Having a good year.

486
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:38,000
Just under 300. He has four home runs, 12 runs better than.

487
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:42,000
Swings right-handed.

488
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:47,000
Yankee Enfield looking for two with Michael playing away from second base. He's in the hole.

489
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:51,000
He'll have a long way to go if the ball's hit to the right side.

490
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:57,000
Bloomberg holding Floyd there at first. A stretch by Klein. The pitch. Swung on.

491
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:05,000
And tipped. Dropped by Munch. One strike down on Otis. Yankees ahead 2-0 here in the top half of third.

492
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:10,000
Royal threatening with runners at first and third and no outs.

493
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:17,000
Outfield plays Otis straight away. White, Mercer, and Matty Alou in the outfield.

494
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:25,000
Otis with a little more pine tar.

495
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:32,000
He gets ready to get back into the box.

496
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:40,000
On deck, John Mayberry. Yankees ahead 2-0. Royal threatening.

497
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:45,000
Now the stretch by Klein. Checks the runners. The 0-1 pitch.

498
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:54,000
Swung on. Line drive right to nettle. And he cannot make another throw, but he does grab that line drive off the bat of Otis.

499
00:58:54,000 --> 00:59:02,000
I tell you, that was a large base running by Potech at third and Bobby Floyd there at first. They got back in time.

500
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:12,000
Nettle so high to his left he came down with that line drive. Usually a runner will start moving, but Potech stayed at third.

501
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:19,000
Floyd still at first. Went away. Here's John Mayberry.

502
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:26,000
Big stab there by Greg Nettles. Robbing. Amos Otis with a base hit.

503
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:32,000
The Yankees still with a chance to make two here against John Mayberry. Runners still at first and third one out.

504
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,000
Klein comes to the belt.

505
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:43,000
The pitch. Line drive. Mason up the middle. Potech scores. Around second to Floyd. He'll go to third.

506
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:51,000
He and John Mayberry will hold there at first. So Mayberry just picked up his 20th RBI of the year. He leads the league in that category.

507
00:59:51,000 --> 01:00:00,000
And the Royals now have got the Yankee leading high-ass. The Yankees lead 2-1.

508
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:08,000
Mayberry didn't get that ball. He hit it well. But hit in the right spot. The Yankees are playing the full and they hit it up the middle.

509
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:16,000
Potech scored. Floyd went to third. Mayberry still at first. Went away. And here's Ed Kirkpatrick, the right fielder.

510
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:23,000
Kirkpatrick bouncing to a fourth. Otis first time up. He hits left-handed.

511
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:28,000
Mayberry hops off at first. Bloomberg holds him. Floyd leads in third.

512
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:36,000
The pitch to Kirkpatrick. Brown ball to short. Michael Hatton, he'll take it himself for one. The first. Double play.

513
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:43,000
The throws in the dirt for Bloomberg. So Kirkpatrick comes into a sixth to three double play.

514
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:50,000
And that's it for the Royals. They do pick up one run. On two hits. And the Eagle Man on base.

515
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:55,000
In the middle of the third, the Yankees 2-Royals 1.

516
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,000
Quasar!

517
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:04,000
Bill Edwardson and Jack Hopke here for Motorola and the new Pornaboo sensibly priced at your Motorola-Quasar dealer.

518
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:09,000
Bill, I'm over here with the Solid State Motorola Deluxe new personal portable black and white TV.

519
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:14,000
It's called the Escort. It has a nine-inch picture measured diagonally and it will actually go anywhere with you.

520
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:19,000
And it comes with a cigarette lighter adapter so you can use it in a parked car, a boat, or a camper.

521
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:23,000
There's an optional battery pack so you can take your Escort personal portable TV anywhere.

522
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:31,000
There's even an outdoor sun shield included. The price is low, only $104.95, and the battery pack is only $19.95 more.

523
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:36,000
Jack, this Escort personal portable by Motorola is the champion at $104.95.

524
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,000
Now, at your Motorola dealers.

525
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,000
Latham!

526
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,000
By Motorola.

527
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:50,000
Motorola television products are available at Exchange TV, 67 Waterville Avenue in Albany, phone IV2-1255.

528
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:57,000
At Irwin's Television, 689 Eulowdon Road in Latham, phone 785-5022.

529
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:08,000
And at Ray E. Shaver TV Sales and Service, 347 Moriahville Road in Schenectady, 355-7338.

530
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:14,000
Probably so, right? And here's Nettles against Mike Jackson.

531
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:18,000
Again right, a big fireballing right-hander serving a ball game for the Royals.

532
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,000
First pitch is a high-breaking ball cut on by Nettles.

533
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:27,000
He hits it on the ground to the first baseman, Mayberry, who gloves it and wins the race of the bag, and is one away.

534
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:32,000
Ken Wright went one and two-thirds innings. He allowed the two runs, both earned on three hits.

535
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:35,000
Struck out one, walked three.

536
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:40,000
Mike Jackson came on in his second. He's in there now.

537
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:44,000
Here's Ron Bloomberg, the first baseman.

538
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:47,000
Pitch to Boomer is a breaking ball. It's too low.

539
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:53,000
Ron walked the first time up the score to run, so he has not been in battle patiently yet.

540
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:59,000
Jack McKeon, the manager of the Royals, going with the left-hander since the Yankees have a predominantly left-handed batting order in.

541
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:03,000
There's a fastball on the inside corner, and it's one and one on Bloomberg. One on, nobody on.

542
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:09,000
Here in the bottom half, the Yankees ahead, two to one.

543
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:16,000
Jackson winds. The left-hander deals. Down low, and in the dirt, it's two balls and a strike.

544
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:21,000
Top field plays Bloomberg to pull, so does the infield. They bury deep under the line at first.

545
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:26,000
Second baseman Floyd is playing over toward first and back on the grass.

546
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:32,000
Breaking ball is swung on and missed by Bloomberg. It's two and two.

547
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:38,000
Thurman and on deck.

548
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:46,000
The two-two pitch. Breaking ball, chopped back to the mound. Jackson has it turned, throws the first base, and Bloomberg's out. Two outs.

549
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:51,000
A little check swing by the Boomer. Chopped it back toward the mound, just on the first base side.

550
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:55,000
Jackson hustled out of the mound and threw him out.

551
01:03:55,000 --> 01:04:01,000
Oh, here's Thurman Munson. Munson working with a thin game hitting streak.

552
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:13,000
Went from 219 to 382, which is second in the American League. Now he's batting at 377 since he's 0-1. Bounced back to the pitcher his first time.

553
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:22,000
The Royals play him to hit to the opposite field with the center fielder Otis over toward right center. Jackson misses outside with a fastball.

554
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:30,000
Salarino-Sanchez has moved under the on deck circle. He would evidently take Callis's place as a designated hitter.

555
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:39,000
Two outs, nobody on here in the bottom of the third. Jackson misses outside again. It's 2-0 on Munson. Yankees ahead, 5-4 up 2-1.

556
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:49,000
Yankees two runs on three hits have made one error. The Royals, one run on three hits, have also made an error.

557
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:59,000
Here's the two-hole pitch to Munson. Swung on, foul off in the upper deck on the right side. It's 2-1.

558
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:11,000
Dick Hauser coaches third for the Yankees. Ellie Howard at first.

559
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:15,000
Munson out of the batter's box. Now he's back in.

560
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:23,000
And the 2-1 pitch. Head on the ground toward short. Shaw, the third baseman, cuts in front of Popdeck, throws the first base. They've got him.

561
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:30,000
So Munson bounces out five degrees. Shaw, the Mayberry for the third out. For the Yankees, the third three up three down.

562
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:47,000
At the end of three, Yankees two, Royals one.

563
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:53,000
Every day is Dad's Day at McDonald's because McDonald's has something Dad can really sink his teeth into.

564
01:05:53,000 --> 01:06:02,000
It starts with a quarter pound, 100% beef patty. We cook it up just right, then serve it with ketchup, mustard, pickles and onions on a sesame seed bun.

565
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:15,000
McDonald's new Quarter Pounder, a quarter pounder with cheese. It's just right for a dad.

566
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:27,000
Try McDonald's great new sandwich, the Quarter Pounder, available right now at all McDonald's in the capital district and throughout the great northeast.

567
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:34,000
There's some exciting Greek music. And here's some exciting news for those who want to expand their intellectual horizons. Would you like to learn how to speak Greek?

568
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:40,000
Well, Greek language classes are now being held at St. Sophia Greek Church every Monday at 7 o'clock.

569
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:55,000
Information can be obtained by calling Dr. Spirovan Koudouris. The doctor's number is 482-5377. That's 482-5377.

570
01:06:55,000 --> 01:07:01,000
He needs 35 more to tie.

571
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:10,000
Cameron Hanks still pounding. Right here the score is 2-1 Yankees. We're going to the top of the fourth and Lou Pennella will lead off with the Royals.

572
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:18,000
Pennella bounced to the third base, Pennello's his first time up so he's 0-1. Lou batting at 2-8-6.

573
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:25,000
Steve Klein over the head and the first pitch. A breaking ball that's too low.

574
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:33,000
Pennella, Hal McCrae and Paul Shaw in that order for the Royals as we go into the top of the fourth.

575
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:42,000
Pennella usually hits the ball very sharp. Doesn't run well. Good hitter. The 1-0 pitch from Klein.

576
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:52,000
Fastball hit on the ground and shortstop right at Michael. He takes it up, throws it over to Bloomberg and Pennella's out. One away.

577
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:57,000
This is the New York Yankee baseball network. Let's follow up with the station identification.

578
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:00,000
This is WMCA New York. Hi, this is John Stewart.

579
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:14,000
I'm here with an invitation to all sports fans to give me a call some night on Sports Talk. I'm here weekday nights from 7 till 9 working around the Yankees this season, Sundays 2. This is WQBK FM Rensselaer.

580
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:22,000
Here's Hal McCrae, the designated hitter. Swings on her first pitch and chops the third. Charged by Nettle's quick throw to first their two outs.

581
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:28,000
Hey, that's McCrae getting ready to fly down the line. He hustles. They just got him by half a step.

582
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:34,000
Two away now. Here's Paul Shaw, the third baseman.

583
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:47,000
Nobody on here in the fourth. The Yankees ahead 2 to 1. Shaw 0 for 1. Popped to the second baseman Clark. Back in the second inning.

584
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:56,000
They play Shaw straight away with White deep in the left. Klein over the head and the first pitch. Swung on. Chopped up and way up in the air. Klein has it.

585
01:08:56,000 --> 01:09:04,000
That was the first. They've got him. Paul was chopped off to play to Baltimore chop. Went way up in the air. Steve Klein a couple of steps to his right for a third base off the mound.

586
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:10,000
Got the ball and got it over to Bloomberg and turned it over to third out. And he's getting for Klein. He kept the Royals in the infield.

587
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:19,000
Three up, three down. In the middle of the fourth. The Yankees lead the Kansas City Royals 2 to 1.

588
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:28,000
Well, some big dates coming up here soon at Yankee Stadium after this next road trip. A big Sunday doubleheader with Baltimore. A very special occasion. That will be on Sunday, May 13th.

589
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:37,000
A holiday afternoon game with the Texas Rangers on Memorial Day, Monday, May 28th. And for the Young fans, Bat Day with the California Angels on Sunday, June 3rd.

590
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:43,000
We also want to call your attention to the fabulous Yankee yearbook for 1973, which is on sale here at Yankee Stadium.

591
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:51,000
It's really two books in one. A colorful yearbook with biographies, marvelous photos and features, plus an extra 32-page book inserted right in the middle.

592
01:09:51,000 --> 01:10:01,000
This is a compilation of great newspaper clippings of Yankee Stadium history from 1923 to 1973. A real keepsake. On sale at a dollar and a half from stadium vendors and by mail for a dollar seventy-five.

593
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:12,000
You can order now by sending a dollar seventy-five reach copy to Yankee yearbook, Bronx Central Post Office, Bronx 1973, Bronx, New York.

594
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:19,000
All right, so, like Yankees make a change right now, and instead of Johnny Kellison, now the Bulls and is out there for Kansas City, Celareno Sanchez.

595
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:26,000
And Celareno takes the ball. Sanchez batting a 222. No home runs, two runs, bat it in.

596
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:32,000
The next pitch is down low. Ball two. Two balls, no strikes.

597
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:37,000
Word about Jim Rayard, the report just now is that he's not playing because his knees bothering him.

598
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:46,000
Balls too high, ball three. Mike Jackson has thrown three straight balls to the Yankees new designated hitter, Celareno Sanchez.

599
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:52,000
3-0 pitch. Call strike, it's three and one. Sanchez started the first base, but Tom Haller called him back.

600
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:58,000
Bill Haller called him back. Tom Haller selling insurance. Yes, he retired from baseball didn't he?

601
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:05,000
Here's a 3-1 pitch. Put on, foul straight back in the upper deck.

602
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:14,000
Still 3-2 on Sanchez. It'll be Sanchez, Michael, and Horace Martin.

603
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:20,000
Here's a pay-all pitch. High ball for Lutton. Sanchez walks leading off of the Yankees here in the fourth.

604
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:24,000
And here's Gene Michael. Sick heel turnaround bat right handed against Jackson.

605
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:28,000
He's got a big net back in the second goal in the Yankees first round of ball game.

606
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:33,000
With two outs he singles Sharpey to right field, scoring Ron Bloomberg.

607
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:38,000
What a ball skipped by Healy. Michael with the second base after Clark got decked by a fastball from Fin right.

608
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:42,000
Off got up and singles Sharpey to center for the second run.

609
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:46,000
The Yankees lead 2-1 here. No outs, Sanchez down at first here, here's Michael.

610
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:54,000
Jackson comes to the belt, and the pitch. Too low a ball.

611
01:11:54,000 --> 01:12:00,000
They play Michael in shallow in the outfield, and Amos Otis moves three or four steps now over toward right center.

612
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:04,000
Kirk Patrick, the right fielder, moves another step or two toward the line.

613
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:12,000
The 1-0 pitch. Ball two outside, 2-0. Jackson has lost the play.

614
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,000
Mike came into the ball game back in the second.

615
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:22,000
And relief of Ken Wright who was knocked out. Wright went one and two thirds, gave up the Yankees two runs.

616
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:25,000
Now Jackson, 2-0 pitch, runners going, the ball's looped to center.

617
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:31,000
Amos Otis is there, he's got it. Now to throw the first, Sanchez is saved.

618
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:37,000
That was close. Mayberry got the ball in the stretch, he scooped it but bobbled it.

619
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:40,000
And Sanchez makes it back in the first base safely.

620
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:43,000
Cellarino running with his head down.

621
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:51,000
Decided better look up on a hit and run, and Otis got the ball easily, and his throw was a good throw to the first baseman in the dirt just a bit.

622
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:55,000
And Mayberry bobbled it, allowing the Sanchez to get back to first safely.

623
01:12:55,000 --> 01:13:09,000
So there's one way as Michael flies off to the center fielder Otis, Sanchez still at first base, and here's Horace Clark, the second baseman.

624
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:13,000
Clark is struck out and single, and that single drove in the Yankees second run back in the second.

625
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:22,000
Hoss turns around, he bats right-handed against Jackson. The left-hander deals, ball's too high.

626
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:30,000
Yankees ahead 2-1, you're in the bottom half of the fourth, one-off Sanchez at first base.

627
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:39,000
Jackson working quickly, too quickly for Horace Clark, who steps out and time is called.

628
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:45,000
Jackson 6'3", weighs 190 pounds, over in Patterson, New Jersey.

629
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:55,000
Now he's ready, so is Clark. The pitch, pop foul, a lot of play in the upper deck on the right side, and it's 1-1.

630
01:13:55,000 --> 01:14:01,000
Tomorrow night, it'll be young, sensational right-hander, George Medich.

631
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:10,000
He'll be going up against the left-hander, ball's split to her. Medich has won two games and lost none so far this year for the Yankees.

632
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:18,000
Now the stretch by Jackson, the 1-1 pitch to Clark, outside ball two, it's 2-1.

633
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:27,000
Paul Shaw is the third baseman. Freddie Potech is the shortstop. Bobby Floyd is the second baseman, and John Mayberry holding Sanchez there at first.

634
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:33,000
It's the first baseman. Through the first, Sanchez back.

635
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:41,000
Lou Pennella, Amos Otis, and Ed Kirkpatrick, the outfield for the Royals. They're playing in shallow for Clark.

636
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:49,000
Here's the stretch, 7-2, 1 pitch, and it's part of the runners' goal, and he is out at second base.

637
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:56,000
The throw, Kirkpatrick to Floyd covering the second baseman.

638
01:14:56,000 --> 01:15:06,000
Pelee, the catcher, 2-4, the second baseman covering for the second out.

639
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:10,000
And the board has 3-1, so Clark must have taken the bat back.

640
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:17,000
And there's a small strike, it's 3-2. Looks like Clark kept that bat down there, trying to protect Sanchez, but he got it back in time.

641
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:30,000
Here's a payoff pitch from Jackson. This is outside ball 4, so Clark walks, and that's the third walk, giving up by Mike Jackson.

642
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:40,000
The right walk, 3-1, and the 1-2 fairs, they were, so the Yankees have drawn 6 walks from Kansas City pitching.

643
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:50,000
Here's Roy White. Orr sparked down at first with 2 outs. Yankees ahead 2-1, bottom of the fourth.

644
01:15:50,000 --> 01:16:00,000
First pitch to White is too low. Roy has single and walk, so he's got a perfect day going, a perfect night. He's 1-1.

645
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:08,000
Jackson comes to the belt, looks at Clark at first, goes there, hops back easily.

646
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:16,000
Mattie Allou is on deck. Yankees trying to put some insurance together here. They lead 2-1, but they need more runs.

647
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:24,000
1-0 pitch. Swung right on the ground hole. Paul Shaw at third base and bubbles it, and they cannot make a play.

648
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:37,000
Shaw, ball right at him, went through him for an error. Clark in his second base, White at first, here's Mattie Allou.

649
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:43,000
2 outs, Allou has been up twice, walked both times.

650
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:48,000
At third base is a huge sparkdown. I just figured that.

651
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:53,000
Here's a pitch to Mattie. Looped up in the air to the first baseman. Mayberry's under it, he's got it.

652
01:16:53,000 --> 01:17:00,000
Check's swinging off the bat of Allou, and he popped the ball up to John Mayberry, the first baseman.

653
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:08,000
Over the Yankees, in the fourth, no runs, no hits. There was one error, and two men were left on base.

654
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:16,000
At the end of four, the New York Yankees, two, the Kansas City Royals, one.

655
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:26,000
What do you think a disaster sounds like? If you live in a city, maybe it's the sound of sirens racing to a fire.

656
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:30,000
But you don't have to live in a city to know the terrible sound of a fire.

657
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:34,000
You don't have to live in a country to know the sound of a tornado.

658
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:39,000
Floods can spike anywhere, too, and sometimes with very little warning.

659
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:44,000
At Red Cross, all of these sounds and many more mean disaster.

660
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:49,000
The sound of disaster is people. People homeless.

661
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:55,000
All our clothing, furniture, everything's gone. We're just thankful we got our kids out of there safe.

662
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:59,000
People who must start building their lives all over again.

663
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:02,000
I wish I had a thing ahead. I've been working for many years.

664
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:07,000
At Red Cross, we think people are the most important sound.

665
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:11,000
We're there to help when families need help most.

666
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:18,000
Because Americans care about their neighbors, Red Cross is there to help.

667
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:27,000
Welcome to scoreboard. The California Angels lead the Detroit Tigers 4-0 after 3. Oakland won the walk of nothing after 1.

668
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:31,000
Texas 3, Boston nothing after 3 1 half innings of play.

669
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:36,000
In the nice league, Houston 1, Philadelphia nothing after 5 1 half.

670
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:38,000
Montchal in the Atlanta Tide up 2-2.

671
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:42,000
Right here, the Yankees ahead 2-1, and here to take you through the 5th is Frank Messick.

672
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:49,000
Okay Bill, Fran Healy leads off and he bumps the first pitch. Klein stabs it, throws the first, he's got in.

673
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:54,000
Steve Klein go towards the third base tie to the pitcher's mound.

674
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:59,000
Stabbed that far and threw Healy out in a fine play by the Yankee pitcher, Klein.

675
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:04,000
One away. At the top of the order, Freddie Potec.

676
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:12,000
Bobby Floyd is out on deck.

677
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:17,000
Potec at 5-4 on 140 pounds.

678
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:20,000
Takes a breaking ball on outside, ball on.

679
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:24,000
Anvil White, to my knowledge, still the smallest man in the major leagues.

680
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:26,000
Might be the smallest man in all of baseball.

681
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:28,000
And he can do a lot of things.

682
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:31,000
1-0 pitch time, right hand batter.

683
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:37,000
Begging for a strike right across. Potec is hitting 262.

684
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:40,000
He is grounded out, walked, and scored.

685
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:44,000
The Royals only won. A run. The Yankees leading 2-1.

686
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:47,000
Let's pitch it off the end of the mound on the ground a second.

687
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:49,000
Potec digs it out, throws on the first base.

688
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:52,000
Potec is out, 2-down.

689
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:57,000
You know Frank, looking at that little fellow Potec, you mentioned he might be the smallest man in the majors.

690
01:19:57,000 --> 01:20:02,000
How big was that midget that Bill Vecque used back when he was at San Luis Brown?

691
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:03,000
Do you remember?

692
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:07,000
No, 3 feet something, wasn't he?

693
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:08,000
Oh, that golf was small.

694
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:14,000
I remember that guy who created a lot of publicity back in those days.

695
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:17,000
Oh, he was 3 feet 7 inches.

696
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:20,000
First pitch to Bobby Floyd. Hit him, he had a shallow left.

697
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:24,000
White coming on for it, and he makes the catch.

698
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:29,000
Another easy inning for Steve Klein as Roy White retires Floyd.

699
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:32,000
The Royals go down 1-2-3, nothing across.

700
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:39,000
At the end of the top half of the fifth inning, the score, Yankees 2 and Kansas City 1.

701
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:43,000
Here's a way to cope with the current fuel shortage and beat the rising cost of gasoline,

702
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:47,000
and still enjoy all the comforts and safety of a quality-built automobile.

703
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:53,000
Switch to Saab, the Swedish-built car with rack and pinion steering, front-wheel drive, four-wheel disc brakes.

704
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:56,000
All the quality and safety features you want in your personal car.

705
01:20:56,000 --> 01:21:01,000
According to Fred Carl, you'll get 24 to 27 miles a gallon, depending on how you drive.

706
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:03,000
How's that compare with your present gas mileage?

707
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:08,000
Fred Carl's New Salem Garage has a full line of 73 Saabs in stock for immediate delivery,

708
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:12,000
and he'll allow your top dollar for your present car in trade.

709
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:18,000
New Salem Garage, the oldest and largest Saab dealer in the area, is the largest exclusive Saab dealer upstate.

710
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:23,000
Full service and a complete parts department assure you the most trouble-free driving in a Saab.

711
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:28,000
It's the one car made for people who have to get around in all kinds of weather year in and year out.

712
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:34,000
And if economy and operations, savings on gasoline are important to you, drive out to New Salem and look them over.

713
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:43,000
Test drive a Saab at Fred Carl's New Salem Garage, Route 85, just a few miles southwest of Albany, New Salem, New York.

714
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:48,000
The fellow that Bill Beck used at St. Louis, I think his name was Eddie Goodell.

715
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:54,000
And Bill Kane just called Bob Fischl, the Yankee Public Relations Department, the head of it.

716
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:59,000
And Bob signed that fellow, and as I mentioned, he was three feet seven inches.

717
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:03,000
Can you imagine somebody trying to cross-strike a guy three feet?

718
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:06,000
I just have to roll the ball up their underhands.

719
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:08,000
He did. He walked it.

720
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:12,000
But he didn't get a second chance. I think it was a Ford-Frix engine race there, and he couldn't play anymore.

721
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:18,000
All right, Bobby Mercer is a little bit more than three foot seven.

722
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:21,000
Going to lead off in the Yankees. Bobby's more like five-ten.

723
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:25,000
And the first pitch to him from the left-hander, Jackson Lohan outside. It's ball one.

724
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:30,000
Mercer has flied deep to left and grounded out unassisted to the first baseman, Mayberry.

725
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:38,000
Bobby wants times. He goes back to the on-deck circle and gets the far towel from Greg Nettles.

726
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:43,000
Yankees leading two to one. Both clubs have three hits.

727
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:47,000
Royals have committed two hours. The Yankees won.

728
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:52,000
Mercer, Nettles, and Bloomberg, all left-hand hitters here in the bottom half of the fifth inning.

729
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:56,000
Now right-hander Ken Wright started for Kansas City.

730
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:59,000
He did not survive the second inning.

731
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:04,000
Gave up two runs, all three hits. He walked three and struck out one.

732
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:08,000
Mike Jackson's coming on as walk-free man, but allowed no hits.

733
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:10,000
This pitch is hit deep and foul.

734
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:14,000
Get to the upper deck in right field with a foul ball.

735
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:29,000
Mercer steps away for a moment or two. Now back in.

736
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:37,000
The wide, the pitch coming. Wide drive in the right field. It is foul, just foul into the lower deck.

737
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:46,000
Frank, I just see an old buddy of yours down behind the Kansas City deck out.

738
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:52,000
It's Joe Garagiola, who's here filming some shots on the new Kansas City manager, Jack McKeon,

739
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:55,000
for future use on his Monday night baseball game of the week.

740
01:23:55,000 --> 01:24:00,000
Right, okay. Pitch is low and away from Bobby. They got cameras all over the place.

741
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:07,000
Down by the Kansas City dugout, over by the Yankee dugout up here in the broadcast area.

742
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:12,000
2-2 pitch. Mercer swings and misses, and Jackson picks up his first strikeout.

743
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:20,000
Mercer out on strikes, and the batter will be Greg Nettles.

744
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:25,000
Joe does the pregame shows for those Monday night broadcasts, right?

745
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:39,000
Greg Nettles has grounded out twice. Swings on the first pitch, pops it up.

746
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:45,000
In foul territory comes Mayberry, near the thief. He leans in, and now has to lean back and makes the catch.

747
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:50,000
He was leaning in, and then the ball drifted back toward the playing area.

748
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:53,000
He reached back for it, and there were two down.

749
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:57,000
That'll drop Nettles batting average. He stayed below 200.

750
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:04,000
And Felipe Alou now comes out to bat for Ronnie Bloomberg.

751
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:09,000
Felipe Alou will bat for Bloomberg, and the winner of the ball game is first base.

752
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:14,000
Felipe, right hand hitter of course.

753
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:22,000
And the left-hander, Jackson deals a strike.

754
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:27,000
Felipe Alou is hitting 2-29.

755
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:34,000
He's had two home runs and seven runs done at it.

756
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:37,000
This one is blowing away from him, a ball, one-on-one.

757
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:43,000
Yankees out in front, 2-1. Nobody out, and 2-9 out here in the bottom half of the fifth inning.

758
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:45,000
Next.

759
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:53,000
In a year when you have to clear your throat to cheer, here's something to hear.

760
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:56,000
Pay attention, dear. Your husband is near.

761
01:25:56,000 --> 01:26:04,000
You'll find that Home Savings Bank sends kids to college, buys houses for people, ensures lives, remodels homes,

762
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:09,000
rents money, safeguards your valuables, lets your bank from the nearest mailbox,

763
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:14,000
and pays the highest interest the law allows on your savings.

764
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:19,000
All because we're a savings bank serving people.

765
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:22,000
Growing not to be big, just to be better.

766
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:27,000
Home Savings Bank of upstate New York. Our name tells the story.

767
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:32,000
Offices in Albany, Colony, Greenwich, Hoosick Falls, and Gilderland.

768
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:38,000
Now open Saturdays at the Central Avenue, Greenwich, and Colony branches.

769
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:59,000

770

01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:10,000
Simply send your check of money order in the amount of $1.75 to cover mailing costs to 1973 Yankee Air Book.

772
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:15,000
Bronx Central Post Office, Box 1973, Bronx, New York, ZIP Code 104-51.

773
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:18,000
Address again, 1973 Yankee Air Book.

774
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:29,000
Bronx Central Post Office, Box 1973, Bronx, New York, 104-51.

775
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:36,000
Well after really first two innings, both pitchers got into a little bit of trouble.

776
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:40,000
In fact, Klein hadn't been on the first three innings, they've settled down.

777
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:43,000
Of course, Kenny Wright has been knocked out by the Yankees.

778
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:46,000
He went one and two-thirds, but Mike Jackson's come in and he's settled down.

779
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:54,000
And Steve Klein, after giving up the one run on two hits and an error back in the third, has settled down.

780
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:59,000
He's gotten out, let's see, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight men in a row.

781
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:05,000
My bill, the first man to face him will be Amos Otis here in the top of the sixth inning.

782
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:08,000
Otis, the right-hand batter.

783
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:12,000
He's rounded to third and lined out to third.

784
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:22,000
He had a real bullet that was stabbed by Nettles in the third inning, and that was a big play for Steve Klein.

785
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:28,000
Game with runners at first and third and nobody out.

786
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:36,000
Well, Steve into the windup, and the first pitch down to Otis, breaking ball down low, ball one.

787
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:40,000
The line drive hit by Otis that Nettles caught was followed by a base hit by Mayberry,

788
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:42,000
and then Kirkpatrick rounded into a double play.

789
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:49,000
So Klein could have had a real rough inning and it not been for some good play in the field behind him.

790
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:52,000
He winds and delivers one and all.

791
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:56,000
Fast ball, low and inside, two balls and no strikes.

792
01:28:56,000 --> 01:29:03,000
But they play a little now at first base for the Yankees, having batted for Bloomberg, stayed in the ballgame.

793
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:07,000
Clark at second, Michael at short, Nettles at third.

794
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:19,000
And they play Otis around to the left side on the infield, straight away in the outfield.

795
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:23,000
Klein looks in to windup, and here comes the pitch.

796
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,000
Get in the air to shuttle left.

797
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,000
Back goes Michael, in comes White.

798
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:28,000
It's Michael who is under it.

799
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:35,000
The shortstop makes the catch, and Otis is retired, one down.

800
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:39,000
Now John Mayberry, the first baseman, strong left-hand hitter.

801
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:53,000
Mayberry has walked and singled and driven in the one run for Kansas City.

802
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:56,000
Mayberry digs around in the batter's box, steps out.

803
01:29:56,000 --> 01:30:01,000
First time he came up tonight, he was in and out over to the on-deck circle.

804
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:04,000
Now he's in there, bounces back and forth.

805
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:08,000
Toes of his right foot, and to the toes of his left foot.

806
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:09,000
Here's the pitch to him.

807
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:15,000
Changeup is high on outside, ball one.

808
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:22,000
When the Yankees come back from their next road trip, their first game will be against the New York Mets at Shea Stadium.

809
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:27,000
Thursday, May 10th at 8.05, the annual Mayors' Trophy game.

810
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:28,000
1-0 to Debrey.

811
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:30,000
Get in the air to center field.

812
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:32,000
Mercer started back, now comes in.

813
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:35,000
Gets under it and Mercer makes the catch.

814
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:37,000
Retire Mayberry.

815
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:40,000
Two down.

816
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:43,000
Ed Kirkpatrick the batter.

817
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:50,000
Kirkpatrick is grounded out to Clark at second and grounded into a double play, started by Gene Michael at short.

818
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:55,000
Michael fielded the ball, going toward second base, took the play there himself, threw on to first base.

819
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:58,000
And that was a mighty big play right there for Steve Fly.

820
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:03,000
Got him out at the third inning with only one run scoring.

821
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:06,000
Two outs, the bases empty.

822
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:07,000
Fine.

823
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:08,000
Kicks and fires.

824
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:13,000
And this is low and away, ball one.

825
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:21,000
Tickets for the Mayors' Trophy game to be played at Shea Stadium Thursday, May 10th, are available at all Yankee and New York Mets.

826
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:24,000
Check it out, that's 1-0 pitch coming.

827
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:27,000
Fastball is in, strike called.

828
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:29,000
Kirkpatrick can do a lot of things.

829
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:30,000
He's playing right field tonight.

830
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:31,000
He can also play first base.

831
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:33,000
I've seen him play third.

832
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:37,000
He can catch.

833
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:38,000
And he can hit.

834
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:40,000
And he can hit right field.

835
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:42,000
360 right now.

836
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:47,000
Swings at a breaking pitch, ground ball right side, past Clark in the right field.

837
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:50,000
Clark runs the ball down himself.

838
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:53,000
Clark going to his left, could not come up with it.

839
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:58,000
So Kirkpatrick is on with a ground single in the right.

840
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:10,000
That will be base at number four for Kansas City, and it brings up Lou Penella.

841
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:20,000
Five retired, nine men in a row.

842
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:23,000
Penella right hand batter is grounded to third and grounded to short.

843
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:27,000
He's hitting 282 at the moment.

844
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:33,000
Yeah, he's going to wander around to play a little while.

845
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:36,000
He wears those pants pulled down as far as they'll go, doesn't he, Bill?

846
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:41,000
Doesn't have them tucked up under at all.

847
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:47,000
First pitch, get on the ground left side, dug up by Nettles, thrown on to Clark in time.

848
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:52,000
The fourth, Kirkpatrick, and that's all for the Royals in the sixth inning.

849
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:54,000
No runs, a base, and a man left.

850
01:32:54,000 --> 01:33:00,000
And at the end of the top half of the sixth inning, the Yankees two and Kansas City one.

851
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:07,000
The reason I'm writing you, because when I was in fifth grade, I had an ecology chapter in social studies, and I loved it.

852
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:10,000
And I wish you could tell us what to do about it.

853
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:16,000
For one month, my girlfriend and I got up early in the morning and picked up papers and other things from the grounds.

854
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:18,000
Now we wish we could do more.

855
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:20,000
Gentlemen, I'm a lawyer.

856
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:23,000
Possibly I could be of some help to veterans.

857
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:29,000
In any event, if you can suggest areas where I could help, I will do my best.

858
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:32,000
A P.S. My wife will help, too.

859
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:41,000
If you don't know what to volunteer for, call a volunteer service in your town, or write to Volunteer Washington, D.C. 20013.

860
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:46,000
We can tell you who needs your help, and what we need, money can't buy.

861
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:48,000
We need you.

862
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:54,000
This public service message brought to you on behalf of the National Center for Voluntary Action and the Advertising Council.

863
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:04,000
Two games that will be played here tomorrow night.

864
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:10,000
It will be George Mettich on the mound with the Yankees against Left-Hander Falls-Plettoff with the Kansas City Royals.

865
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:17,000
The Yankees have an off day, and they go on a six-game road trip, three games in Chicago and three in Minnesota,

866
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:23,000
before returning back to New York to meet the New York Mets in the annual Mayors' Trophy game.

867
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:28,000
The game will be played on Thursday, May 10th, a night game, 8.05 at Shea Stadium.

868
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:34,000
And after that ball game, the run for the American League East title starts again,

869
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:40,000
with Baltimore coming in for a big four-game series over the weekend of May 11th,

870
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:45,000
a Friday night game through a doubleheader on Sunday, May 13th.

871
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:48,000
That's going to be a pretty important series, Frank, isn't it?

872
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:50,000
It certainly is. One to mark down.

873
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:53,000
Thurman Munson, the leadoff here for the Yankees in the bottom half of the sixth.

874
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:57,000
He swings and he misses out in front of a breaking pitch, strike one.

875
01:34:57,000 --> 01:35:02,000
Munson is 0 for 2, and he's seen his batting average dip to 3.71.

876
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:07,000
Next pitch, down low, bounces off the foot of Fran Healy, the catcher.

877
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:09,000
Rolls down the third baseline.

878
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:14,000
Dick Hauser wants to be sure that plate umpire Bill Haller checks that ball for shoe polish.

879
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:18,000
And sure enough, it comes out of the game.

880
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:21,000
One ball and one strike.

881
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:26,000
Munson is bounced back to the pitcher and grounded out the third.

882
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:29,000
The Yankees have not had a base hit off Mike Jackson.

883
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:32,000
Jackson has walked three men, another reached on an error.

884
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:35,000
There's ball two inside of Munson.

885
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:39,000
Southerino Sanchez, the designated hitter, is on deck.

886
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:47,000
And then she, Michael, lower third of the batting order here in the sixth inning.

887
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:51,000
Jackson deals and Munson fouls one back upstairs.

888
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:54,000
Count evens two balls, two strikes.

889
01:35:54,000 --> 01:36:02,000
They play Munson up the middle, deep and left.

890
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:05,000
Kirk Patrick, straight away on right field.

891
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:08,000
The outfield does not play Munson to full.

892
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:10,000
He pops this one up on the right side.

893
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:13,000
Coming after it is Healy, the catcher, the first baseman Mayberry,

894
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:19,000
and they let the ball drop the play to him in foul territory.

895
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:23,000
And Alphonse and Gaston, and no play.

896
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:32,000
So it will not be an error.

897
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:35,000
Ball hit over in front of the Yankee dugout.

898
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:39,000
With both Healy and Mayberry going after it, all of a sudden they both stop,

899
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:44,000
look at each other, and the ball hit directly between them.

900
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:45,000
Two balls, two strikes.

901
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:49,000
Munson stays alive.

902
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:58,000
Foul back.

903
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:02,000
Yankees leading two to one.

904
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:05,000
Rounds have been driven in by Gene Michael and Horace Clark,

905
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:08,000
both crossing in the second inning.

906
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:13,000
Munson swings on this one, fouls it back.

907
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:16,000
Got just a little piece of it.

908
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:19,000
Down holes two and two.

909
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:25,000
These same two clubs meet out here again tomorrow night at 7.30.

910
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:27,000
Doc Medich pitching for New York.

911
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:33,000
South ball, Paul Splittorf for the KC Royals.

912
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:35,000
Jackson taking a little too much time.

913
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:38,000
The suit Munson, Berman steps out.

914
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:40,000
Now back in and here we go.

915
01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:42,000
Two-two pitch coming.

916
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:49,000
It's a swing, it's just outside, ball free.

917
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:51,000
Frank Thurman changes hands a little bit there.

918
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:54,000
He's way back off the plate and he's hitting the inside face,

919
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:57,000
sharply to the left, and the outside face, he's going the right field.

920
01:37:57,000 --> 01:38:01,000
And Jackson is trying to get a needle on the outside part.

921
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:06,000
He misses outside, ball four, and Munson is off.

922
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:10,000
That is the fourth walk given up by Jackson, the seventh by Kansas City pitching.

923
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:13,000
This is the New York Yankee Baseball Network.

924
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:16,000
We pause for station identification.

925
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:19,000
Hi, I'm John Watson extending an invitation for all of you sports fans

926
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:23,000
to join me weekdays and Saturday nights in John's World.

927
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:28,000
We not only have music, but also weekdays we have the UPI financial reports

928
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:43,000
at 15 before the hour on WQBK FM Rinsler.

929
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:47,000
When the left-hand pitcher Jackson was brought in in relief of right-hander Ken Wright,

930
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:52,000
Ralph Houch switched to Sanchez and Sutterino walked in the fourth inning.

931
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:54,000
Munson at first being held on by Mayberry,

932
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:59,000
and Sanchez it's a long drive to left center, but it's all can of corn.

933
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:03,000
Out there for the center fielder Otis, Munson tags up but does not go

934
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:06,000
as Otis gets a good throw in.

935
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:11,000
Both Otis and Panano were there, and they're discussing that play.

936
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:14,000
They almost collide, and I thought they both knew what they were doing,

937
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:18,000
but there's a little discussion between the two of them now.

938
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:22,000
Otis is the one who made the catch, and Munson after tagging up,

939
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:26,000
left going to second, made Otis throw and then went back to first.

940
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:33,000
One out and here is Gene Michael.

941
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:41,000
Pitch out. Munson was not going, it's ball one.

942
01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:51,000
Michael taking a long look down at third base coach Dick Houser.

943
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:55,000
He swings and misses one and one, full cut.

944
01:39:55,000 --> 01:40:03,000
Elston Howard was talking to the first base umpire, Joe Brinkman.

945
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:06,000
My guess would be asking him to watch Brinkman.

946
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:09,000
Well, he may think that Brinkman balks in his motion to first base.

947
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:11,000
He looks over there, the left-hander deals.

948
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:17,000
Michael takes low and outside, two balls and one strike.

949
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:22,000
On each pitch, Mutek breaks just a bit toward the bag at second.

950
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:30,000
They think that Munson will be going.

951
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:31,000
And he made.

952
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:33,000
He goes and they got him picked off.

953
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:39,000
He stops halfway, Mayberry running him toward second, and Mayberry tags him out.

954
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:44,000
Munson was picked off.

955
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:50,000
One-three, Mayberry never did throw the ball again as Munson stopped halfway.

956
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:55,000
Mayberry chased him and finally tagged him.

957
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:57,000
Left arm off, Mayberry's a little upset.

958
01:40:57,000 --> 01:41:01,000
Thuram came back and almost ran through Mayberry.

959
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:04,000
Michael takes a pitch up high.

960
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:15,000
One-three, three and one.

961
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:18,000
Next offering, he's taking a strike call.

962
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:26,000
Three and two.

963
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:28,000
Two outs, nobody on.

964
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:30,000
And the three-two pitch to Michael.

965
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:38,000
Michael Jackson fouls it back upstairs on the first-base side in the upper deck.

966
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:46,000
I gather from the crowd reaction that a pretty good play was made up there.

967
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:52,000
Three-two pitch again, swing and a miss struck him out.

968
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:57,000
Mike Jackson picks up his second strikeout and for the Yankees in the sixth inning, no runs, no hits.

969
01:41:57,000 --> 01:42:00,000
There were no errors and nobody left on base.

970
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:05,000
So at the end of six full innings, the score, New York two and Kansas City one.

971
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:10,000
If you're fed up with the high cost of automobile financing, you're not alone.

972
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:16,000
But Boston Spa National Bank offers you an alternative, the lower cost direct new car loan,

973
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:22,000
which can include enough to cover insurance and incidentals and still save you money.

974
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:25,000
And Boston Spa National doesn't care where you buy your car.

975
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:31,000
You get a check for the amount you need so you can pay cash for your new car at any dealership anywhere.

976
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:40,000
These lower cost direct new car loans are available at any of the three decision-making offices of Boston Spa National.

977
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:44,000
Burn Hills on Route 50, Boston Spa at 87 Front Street,

978
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:49,000
and the Milton Crest Office north of Boston Spa on Rolland Street at Geyser Road.

979
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:58,000
Owners, stop in before you make that deal on your new car and arrange with your personal banker at Boston Spa National for a direct new car loan.

980
01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:04,000
Enjoy complete personalized financial services with the folks who want to be your banker.

981
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:08,000
Boston Spa National Bank, member FDIC.

982
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:14,000
In National League games, Houston 3, Philadelphia nothing at the end of seven,

983
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:17,000
Montreal 4, Atlanta 2 at the end of four and a half,

984
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:19,000
Henry Aaron has hit his sixth home run.

985
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:22,000
The rest of the games later starts and no report.

986
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:25,000
Right now we go to the seventh and ready with the action, here's Bill White.

987
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:30,000
All right Franklin, Hal McCray heading against Steve Klein. Yankees ahead by a score of 2 to 1.

988
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:36,000
First pitch, line drive, base hit right field, Matty Alou and quickly he'll get the ball back in the infield.

989
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:40,000
And Hal McCray's on two for three.

990
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:47,000
So McCray leads off to seventh for the Royals by lining a single with sharply to right field.

991
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:50,000
He's there, here's Paul Schall.

992
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:54,000
Schall on the third baseman is over two, he's popped a second and bounced a third.

993
01:43:54,000 --> 01:44:02,000
Looking down at Harry Dunlop for a sign, Schall bats right handed.

994
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:08,000
Schall batting at 2, 6, 3.

995
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:11,000
Yankees with the infield back looking for 2.

996
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:14,000
Steve Klein hides the ball on his right hip, now he comes set.

997
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:22,000
Chex McCray, the pitch to Schall. He swears a bunch but takes inside the ball.

998
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:28,000
Now Schall back out once again looking down at Harry Dunlop who just picked up the sign from his skipper,

999
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:31,000
Jack McKeon relays it back to Schall.

1000
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:36,000
Time's call, now Greg Nettles wants to talk to Steve Klein.

1001
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:43,000
Gleap that little old McCray at first, he'll release and charge quickly.

1002
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:49,000
Nettles bows in on the grass now, maybe a step or two off the grass.

1003
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:51,000
One ball, no strike count on Schall.

1004
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:55,000
Yankees ahead 2 to 1, you're in the top of the seventh.

1005
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:57,000
Royals have a man at first.

1006
01:44:57,000 --> 01:45:00,000
The one-hole pitch, all strike.

1007
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:07,000
Schall took that, he started to swing but took it on the outside corner, it's 1 and 1.

1008
01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:09,000
Now the guessing game starts.

1009
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:13,000
Schall back out again looking at his third-phase coach.

1010
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:15,000
McCray also looking over there.

1011
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:19,000
McCray leads off first. He doesn't have a big lead there.

1012
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:21,000
Klein checks it.

1013
01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:23,000
The 1-1 pitch.

1014
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:29,000
Inside, ball 2, it's 2 balls and a strike.

1015
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:32,000
On deck is Fran Healy.

1016
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:38,000
The Yankees picked up both their runs in the second inning.

1017
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:42,000
The Kansas City Royals came back and picked up their one run in the top of the third.

1018
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:46,000
Well, the Yankees are ahead 2 to 1, Royals threatening.

1019
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:49,000
Stretch and the 2-1 pitch.

1020
01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:51,000
Line drive, base hit right field.

1021
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:57,000
Malou in quickly and McCray will have to hold his second as Matty Lowe makes a strong throw there to second base.

1022
01:45:57,000 --> 01:46:00,000
Almost hit McCray in the head.

1023
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:10,000
So the Royals, with back-to-back singles from Hal McCray and Paul Schall, have runners now at first and second.

1024
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:14,000
Still no outs and here's Fran Healy, the catcher.

1025
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:17,000
Now Nettles and Klein and Munchen meeting on the mound.

1026
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:22,000
Nettles leads, Munchen's got there talking to Steve.

1027
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:25,000
The Yankees evidently expecting a punt here.

1028
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:28,000
They lead 2 to 1 over the Royals.

1029
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:30,000
Kansas City threatening.

1030
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:33,000
Runners at first and second and no outs.

1031
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:38,000
Nettles in close at third, so is Felipe Malou at first.

1032
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:41,000
Upfield straight away for Healy, who's 0 for 2 in the ball game.

1033
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:44,000
He's bounced to third and bounced back to the pitcher.

1034
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:45,000
That's right-handed.

1035
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:46,000
Here's a pitch to him.

1036
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:48,000
He squares and butts down up to Steve Klein.

1037
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:49,000
Klein's up.

1038
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:53,000
He'll go to first base and he gets the foot out there.

1039
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:55,000
The runners advance.

1040
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:59,000
Hal McCray goes to third.

1041
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:01,000
Paul Schall to second.

1042
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:03,000
Give Healy a sacrifice.

1043
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:09,000
He was thrown out 1 to 4 as Klein threw to Horace Clark covering first base.

1044
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:10,000
So there's one away.

1045
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:18,000
Ralph Hauk out to the mound as the Yankees decide what they're going to do with Freddie Potech.

1046
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:22,000
Nettles, Munchen, Hauk and Klein out discussing Potech.

1047
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:24,000
Potech is 0 for 2 in the ball game.

1048
01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:26,000
He has scored a run though.

1049
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:28,000
He scored the Royals' only run.

1050
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:35,000
In the first inning, he bounced to third, walked and scored in the third, and bounced to second and the fifth.

1051
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:42,000
Oh, the Yankees now have a big conference going out on the mound.

1052
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:46,000
And it looks like we're going to get a new pitcher.

1053
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:48,000
That's going to be all for Steve Klein.

1054
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:56,000
You remember, Klein hurt a muscle, strained a muscle in the ball game up in Milwaukee.

1055
01:47:56,000 --> 01:47:58,000
And it's cool here tonight.

1056
01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:03,000
So Ralph Hauk evidently feels that Steve Klein has gone far enough.

1057
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:07,000
And it's Markie Lyle.

1058
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:11,000
Lyle in here replacing Klein.

1059
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:16,000
So Steve goes sixth in one third innings.

1060
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:19,000
He's given up just one run so far.

1061
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:24,000
Of course, the runners at second and third are his responsibility.

1062
01:48:24,000 --> 01:48:35,000
Klein's given up also six hits.

1063
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:39,000
He's walked three.

1064
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:45,000
And he has not struck out a batter.

1065
01:48:45,000 --> 01:49:00,000
So it's Markie Lyle, isn't there, now relieving Steve Klein.

1066
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:06,000
Lyle is making his fifth appearance for the Yankees so far this year.

1067
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:16,000
He made a decision in Boston when he gave up a ninth inning home run to Orlando Cepeda.

1068
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:19,000
And he lost one in Milwaukee.

1069
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:24,000
Gave up a three-run home run by Johnny Vukovich in the seventh.

1070
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:27,000
That's when he came in to relieve Steve Klein.

1071
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:31,000
He lost that ball game.

1072
01:49:31,000 --> 01:49:34,000
So Markie Lyle is in.

1073
01:49:34,000 --> 01:49:37,000
Now this year, Spouse, Markie's given up three home runs,

1074
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:40,000
and he only allowed three home runs all of last year.

1075
01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:46,000
So Ralph Howe getting a chance to look at Sparky Lyle as Markie makes his fifth appearance on the mound this year.

1076
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:54,000
Last year, Sparky made 59 appearances, setting the American League record with 35 saves.

1077
01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:59,000
He'd like to get that hard slide of working here on Freddie Potec.

1078
01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:05,000
The Yankees were sailing along with a 2-1 lead going into this inning, a 7,

1079
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:08,000
when Hal McCray singled sharply to right field.

1080
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:12,000
That was followed by another sharp single to right by Paul Shaw.

1081
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:14,000
McCray held at second.

1082
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:18,000
Then Fran Ealy, but it sacrificed successfully, back to Klein.

1083
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:20,000
Both runners advancing.

1084
01:50:20,000 --> 01:50:26,000
So there's one out, runners at second and third, and here's Freddie Potec and against Sparky Lyle.

1085
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:27,000
Let's see how the Yankees play this.

1086
01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:29,000
First of all, they're going to pitch to Potec.

1087
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:31,000
They're going to make him fling the bat.

1088
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:35,000
Netto's enclosed at third, so is Felipe Alou at first.

1089
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:39,000
Michael and Clark are at their normal position.

1090
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:42,000
Sparky Lyle's over the head, and here's the first pitch.

1091
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:45,000
High, a ball.

1092
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:47,000
McCray at third.

1093
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:51,000
Shaw down at second with one out here at the top of the seventh.

1094
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:54,000
The Yankees are ahead 2-1.

1095
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:56,000
Now Potec looks down at third.

1096
01:50:56,000 --> 01:51:00,000
John Lopp gives him the sign.

1097
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:05,000
Lyle with that big char to back in his left-cheek nods agreement pumps and deals a 1-0 pitch.

1098
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:10,000
All strike at 1-1.

1099
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:12,000
On deck is Bobby Floyd.

1100
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:15,000
Now Lyle back off the backside of the mound.

1101
01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:19,000
Goes to his mouth, goes to the rosin bag, to the cap.

1102
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:23,000
Now he's back on.

1103
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:27,000
Lyle's lead, McCray from third, Shaw from second.

1104
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:30,000
Lyle looks over to McCray.

1105
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:33,000
Looks back in, doesn't like the sign, wants a new one.

1106
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:35,000
Gets it, likes it.

1107
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:39,000
Now time's call, Potec backs up.

1108
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:44,000
Bill Aller, the home plate on fire, calls time.

1109
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:49,000
War of nerves going on between Lyle the pitcher and Potec the hitter.

1110
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:53,000
Now we're ready. Here's the 1-1 pitch coming down to Potec.

1111
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:56,000
Inside a ball, two balls and a strike.

1112
01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:59,000
Lyle wanted that pitch.

1113
01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:02,000
Back out, Bucky Lyle.

1114
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:05,000
Trying to pick up his first save of the year.

1115
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:09,000
He picked up 35 last year, his set a new American League record.

1116
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:12,000
And this is a tough situation.

1117
01:52:12,000 --> 01:52:15,000
Yankees ahead 2-1, 1-0.

1118
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:17,000
McCray from third.

1119
01:52:17,000 --> 01:52:20,000
Yankees from second. Lyle likes the sign.

1120
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:22,000
He winds. It's a 2-1 pitch to Potec.

1121
01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:30,000
Swung on top foul outside of third, and it's 2-2.

1122
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:35,000
Sparky Lyle trying to regain the form he had last year

1123
01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:38,000
when he was the number one pitcher in the American League,

1124
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:43,000
possibly the number one pitcher, relief pitcher in all of baseball.

1125
01:52:43,000 --> 01:52:47,000
Cincinnati had a pretty good year.

1126
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:52,000
Play Carroll.

1127
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:55,000
Carroll had 36 saves last year.

1128
01:52:55,000 --> 01:52:58,000
Here's a 2-2 pitch, not a Potec.

1129
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:01,000
Swung on, bounce to third, Nettles has it, looks to run her back to third,

1130
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:03,000
throw her first, they've got him.

1131
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:06,000
Two out.

1132
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:10,000
Lyle inside Potec, they hit a sharp ground ball to Nettles,

1133
01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:14,000
who looks McCray back to third, took his time, threw Potec out at first,

1134
01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:31,000
so they're two out, and we're going to get a pitch hitter for Bobby Floyd.

1135
01:53:31,000 --> 01:53:37,000
Kurt Savakwa, the Royals' acquire from the Cleveland Indians,

1136
01:53:37,000 --> 01:53:47,000
will bat for Bobby Floyd.

1137
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:50,000
So Lyle now has done a job.

1138
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:54,000
He's got his man out, and he did not allow the runners to score.

1139
01:53:54,000 --> 01:53:58,000
He's got two outs, and Savakwa now will bat for Floyd.

1140
01:53:58,000 --> 01:54:00,000
Savakwa bats right-handed.

1141
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:03,000
Kuki Rojas started the game at second base for the Royals,

1142
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:07,000
and he would normally be in this position.

1143
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:11,000
Rojas was spiked as he went into second base trying to break up a double play,

1144
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:13,000
or his clerk came down on him.

1145
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:18,000
And Rojas is one of the RBI leaders on this ball club with 14.

1146
01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:22,000
Bobby Floyd went into play second base, and he's single and fly it out.

1147
01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:25,000
Now it's Savakwa in-pitch hitting for Floyd.

1148
01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:29,000
Runners at second and third, two outs, Lyle's ready, and the pitch.

1149
01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:35,000
A breaking ball, the jump side corner to called strike.

1150
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:40,000
Yankees ahead 2-1, you're in the top of the seventh, two outs.

1151
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:43,000
McCray leads from third, Shaw from second.

1152
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:45,000
Lyle checks McCray.

1153
01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:46,000
Wines and deals.

1154
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:53,000
Pull on and missed the breaking ball, no balls and two strikes.

1155
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:55,000
Marky Lau going to the overhand curve ball,

1156
01:54:55,000 --> 01:55:00,000
found the outside corner with the first one, got the next one down and in.

1157
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:02,000
And Savakwa swung over it.

1158
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:09,000
So Lyle ahead, now no balls, two strikes, two outs.

1159
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:13,000
The Royals threatening with runners at second and third.

1160
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:16,000
Lyle looks under Munchen, he's got the sign.

1161
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:20,000
Likes it, nods agreement, checks McCray, he winds.

1162
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:22,000
Here's the 0-2 pitch.

1163
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:25,000
Swung on and called off.

1164
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:32,000
It's no balls and two strikes yet.

1165
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:37,000
Lyle on the back part of the mound, gets a rosin.

1166
01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:42,000
Marky came in this inning with runners at second and third, one out.

1167
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:44,000
He got Patek to bounce to third.

1168
01:55:44,000 --> 01:55:48,000
Nettles held McCray at third, threw Patek out for the second out.

1169
01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:51,000
Now to count, no balls and two strikes on Savakwa, batting for Floyd.

1170
01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:53,000
Here's the one, the 0-2 pitch.

1171
01:55:53,000 --> 01:55:55,000
Swung on, hit on the ground and short.

1172
01:55:55,000 --> 01:56:00,000
Charged by Michael, he's got it, throws to first and they've got him there for the third out.

1173
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:05,000
Marky Lyle has come into the ball game and he's done a job.

1174
01:56:05,000 --> 01:56:07,000
Oh, that's it for the Royals.

1175
01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:10,000
No runs on two hits and he leaves him on base.

1176
01:56:10,000 --> 01:56:17,000
In the middle of the seventh, the Yankees 2, the Kansas City Royals 1.

1177
01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:26,000
We at Getty have been telling you that you can save money on our premium gasoline

1178
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:31,000
because it's priced a few cents less per gallon than most other major premiums.

1179
01:56:31,000 --> 01:56:36,000
Well, now we'd like to tell you just how much money you can save at Getty Premium.

1180
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:37,000
Fill it up, please.

1181
01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:41,000
With your first gallon of Getty Premium, you save about three cents.

1182
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:44,000
With five gallons, about 15 cents.

1183
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:47,000
A 20-gallon fill-up saves about 60 cents.

1184
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:50,000
Use Getty for a month and you can save about $2.50.

1185
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:54,000
Use it for six months and save around $15.

1186
01:56:54,000 --> 01:57:01,000
And if you use Getty for a year or around 12,000 miles of driving, you can save around $30.

1187
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:05,000
$30 for doing nothing more than filling up with Getty.

1188
01:57:05,000 --> 01:57:12,000
That's enough to buy another 75 gallons, which is enough gas to take you about 1,000 miles.

1189
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:15,000
At Getty, we give you more gas for your money.

1190
01:57:15,000 --> 01:57:22,000
So you get more miles for your money.

1191
01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:31,000
Well, Kurt Babacka, who batted for Bobby Floyd, stays in the ballgame to play second base.

1192
01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:34,000
So you can mark that defensive change down.

1193
01:57:34,000 --> 01:57:36,000
And we go to the bottom half of the seventh inning.

1194
01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:38,000
Yankees leading 2-1.

1195
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:41,000
And the top of the order, here's Bill.

1196
01:57:41,000 --> 01:57:43,000
All right, Frank, the first pitch in to Horace Clark.

1197
01:57:43,000 --> 01:57:45,000
The breaking ball is a called strike.

1198
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:48,000
Mike Jackson on the mound for the Royals.

1199
01:57:48,000 --> 01:57:49,000
Getting a right start.

1200
01:57:49,000 --> 01:57:51,000
He only lasted an inning and a third.

1201
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:52,000
Clark lines the next pitch to left field.

1202
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:54,000
It's going to be a curveball.

1203
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:57,000
It bounces into the deep, profound rule of double.

1204
01:57:57,000 --> 01:58:02,000
Horace Clark in an 0-1 curveball and winds it down to left field line.

1205
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:05,000
Just hit inside the line and bounces into the sand.

1206
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:09,000
So Clark leads the Yankees 7-0-5 doubling.

1207
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:11,000
And here's Roy White.

1208
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:13,000
Bill, that's a first hit.

1209
01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:19,000
The Yankees have had off the left-hander Mike Jackson and their fourth in the ballgame.

1210
01:58:19,000 --> 01:58:20,000
Let's see now.

1211
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:23,000
Why didn't they're batting right-handed?

1212
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:25,000
Roy was expecting a punt.

1213
01:58:25,000 --> 01:58:26,000
Here's a stretch.

1214
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:27,000
And the pitch.

1215
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:28,000
Too low a ball.

1216
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:29,000
White did not offer to punt.

1217
01:58:29,000 --> 01:58:30,000
Call.

1218
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:31,000
The third baseman's in close.

1219
01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:33,000
And Mayberry, the first baseman, heads in.

1220
01:58:33,000 --> 01:58:35,000
Now he moves back a couple of steps.

1221
01:58:35,000 --> 01:58:36,000
Yankees 2-0.

1222
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:37,000
Royals 1.

1223
01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:39,000
He's in the bottom of the 7th.

1224
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:40,000
No outs.

1225
01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:42,000
Clark leading from second.

1226
01:58:42,000 --> 01:58:44,000
The 1-0 pitch to White.

1227
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:45,000
Takes a punt, takes it back.

1228
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:46,000
Back it's too low.

1229
01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:49,000
Ball 2.

1230
01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:53,000
White's been up three times, officially twice, because he's single to right field.

1231
01:58:53,000 --> 01:58:54,000
He's walked.

1232
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:57,000
And he got on on an error.

1233
01:58:57,000 --> 01:59:00,000
So he is 1 for 2.

1234
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:01,000
2-0 pitch to White.

1235
01:59:01,000 --> 01:59:04,000
Swung on and fouled off.

1236
01:59:04,000 --> 01:59:07,000
2-1.

1237
01:59:07,000 --> 01:59:08,000
On deck is Matty Lou.

1238
01:59:08,000 --> 01:59:12,000
Yankees ahead by a score of 2-1 here in the bottom of the 7th.

1239
01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:17,000
Or as Clark led, the inning off by doubling into the left field corner.

1240
01:59:17,000 --> 01:59:18,000
2-1 pitch.

1241
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:19,000
Outside ball.

1242
01:59:19,000 --> 01:59:20,000
3-1.

1243
01:59:20,000 --> 01:59:27,000
Now time for any one to talk to Jackson.

1244
01:59:27,000 --> 01:59:31,000
Yankees picked up their two runs back in the second inning.

1245
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:33,000
Ron Bloomberg walked.

1246
01:59:33,000 --> 01:59:38,000
After Munson bounced out and Kikallisen fouled out.

1247
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:41,000
Gene Michael, single in a run.

1248
01:59:41,000 --> 01:59:45,000
And then Oras Clark, single in the Yankees' second run.

1249
01:59:45,000 --> 01:59:47,000
Royals picked up their run in the top of the third.

1250
01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:48,000
Here's the stretch foul.

1251
01:59:48,000 --> 01:59:49,000
3-1 pitch to White.

1252
01:59:49,000 --> 01:59:51,000
Breaking ball to call strike 2.

1253
01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:56,000
Full count.

1254
01:59:56,000 --> 02:00:02,000
They play White straight away with Otis at center field or a step or two over toward right center.

1255
02:00:02,000 --> 02:00:05,000
Roy batting at 1-8-4.

1256
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:07,000
Jackson checks far and gets second.

1257
02:00:07,000 --> 02:00:08,000
Payoff pitch.

1258
02:00:08,000 --> 02:00:10,000
Pulling off the middle off Jackson's leg.

1259
02:00:10,000 --> 02:00:11,000
Over toward third.

1260
02:00:11,000 --> 02:00:14,000
And Roy White will get a base hit.

1261
02:00:14,000 --> 02:00:18,000
Oras Clark could not move to second base, but White's on same foot first.

1262
02:00:18,000 --> 02:00:22,000
Give him an infield hit.

1263
02:00:22,000 --> 02:00:26,000
White smashed that ball up the middle and hit Jackson on his leg.

1264
02:00:26,000 --> 02:00:29,000
Bounced over toward Paul Shawl at third.

1265
02:00:29,000 --> 02:00:30,000
Shawl was moving toward third.

1266
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:33,000
Justin Blase might be going that way.

1267
02:00:33,000 --> 02:00:35,000
He had no chance to recover and make the play.

1268
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:39,000
So the Yankees now run at first and second here in the seventh.

1269
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:40,000
No outs.

1270
02:00:40,000 --> 02:00:42,000
And the batter is Matty Alou.

1271
02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:47,000
And Galen Siscoe goes out to the mound.

1272
02:00:47,000 --> 02:00:50,000
And he's joined there by Shawl, the third baseman.

1273
02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:53,000
His catcher, Fran Healy and Mike Jackson.

1274
02:00:53,000 --> 02:00:58,000
Galen Siscoe, the former Mets pitcher, is the pitching coach on this ball club.

1275
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:03,000
Right, and he's not out there to make a pitching change.

1276
02:01:03,000 --> 02:01:09,000
Just to pass along some information, they're plotting a little strategy.

1277
02:01:09,000 --> 02:01:12,000
As to what to do with Matty Alou.

1278
02:01:12,000 --> 02:01:18,000
What kind of strategy can you devise around a guy like Alou who can hit the ball just about anywhere, Bill?

1279
02:01:18,000 --> 02:01:19,000
There is none.

1280
02:01:19,000 --> 02:01:22,000
Throw him down the middle and he'll be able to hit you straight away.

1281
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:25,000
Now the play down by Bill Haller goes out there now to break up the conference.

1282
02:01:25,000 --> 02:01:30,000
Siscoe heads back toward the dugout.

1283
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:38,000
McCann, Jack McCann when he came in, kept three of his coaches, three coaches that were left over.

1284
02:01:38,000 --> 02:01:41,000
Siscoe was the pitching coach.

1285
02:01:41,000 --> 02:01:48,000
Under Bob Levin, Dunlop was the first base coach and Charlie Vowell was the batting instructor.

1286
02:01:48,000 --> 02:01:49,000
And who was third base coach?

1287
02:01:49,000 --> 02:01:51,000
George Strickland, wasn't he?

1288
02:01:51,000 --> 02:01:52,000
Strick is gone.

1289
02:01:52,000 --> 02:01:53,000
They only have three coaches.

1290
02:01:53,000 --> 02:01:54,000
Okay, Bill.

1291
02:01:54,000 --> 02:01:55,000
Here's Matty Alou.

1292
02:01:55,000 --> 02:01:56,000
Throw to second.

1293
02:01:56,000 --> 02:01:59,000
Clark is back.

1294
02:01:59,000 --> 02:02:00,000
Horace Clark is second.

1295
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:01,000
Roy White is first.

1296
02:02:01,000 --> 02:02:04,000
Noah out there in the bottom of the seventh.

1297
02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:06,000
Yankee is trying to get a few insurance runs here.

1298
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:07,000
They lead two to one.

1299
02:02:07,000 --> 02:02:10,000
Matty batting at 3.27.

1300
02:02:10,000 --> 02:02:11,000
Throw to second again.

1301
02:02:11,000 --> 02:02:12,000
Clark is back.

1302
02:02:12,000 --> 02:02:15,000
This time to the shortstop Patek.

1303
02:02:15,000 --> 02:02:22,000
I think the Royals are trying to set up a play where Patek will really hustle to third and try to beat Clark there in case of a bunt.

1304
02:02:22,000 --> 02:02:25,000
If Matty Alou can really handle a bat, he sees a vacate that spot.

1305
02:02:25,000 --> 02:02:26,000
He'll go there.

1306
02:02:26,000 --> 02:02:27,000
Here's the pitch.

1307
02:02:27,000 --> 02:02:31,000
Hung on and miss.

1308
02:02:31,000 --> 02:02:34,000
Mayberry really charging from first.

1309
02:02:34,000 --> 02:02:38,000
He's moving back behind first looking at Alou.

1310
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:40,000
And Matty can't pull the ball.

1311
02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:44,000
We saw that the other day when he had a two-run homer here.

1312
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:45,000
Clark from second.

1313
02:02:45,000 --> 02:02:46,000
White from first.

1314
02:02:46,000 --> 02:02:47,000
No outs.

1315
02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:49,000
Jackson comes to the bell.

1316
02:02:49,000 --> 02:02:50,000
The stretch.

1317
02:02:50,000 --> 02:02:51,000
The pitch to Matty.

1318
02:02:51,000 --> 02:02:55,000
Down low, one and one.

1319
02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:57,000
Matty's 0 for one.

1320
02:02:57,000 --> 02:02:58,000
He's walked twice.

1321
02:02:58,000 --> 02:02:59,000
Pop to the first baseman.

1322
02:02:59,000 --> 02:03:01,000
Mayberry.

1323
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:06,000
On deck is Bobby Mercer.

1324
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:08,000
Patek holding Clark close at second.

1325
02:03:08,000 --> 02:03:09,000
The 1-1 pitch.

1326
02:03:09,000 --> 02:03:11,000
Cold strike two.

1327
02:03:11,000 --> 02:03:19,000
One fall and two strikes.

1328
02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:22,000
Jackson looking out in the outfield.

1329
02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:24,000
He was owed a straightaway out there in the center.

1330
02:03:24,000 --> 02:03:28,000
Now, Oda's backed up a couple of steps.

1331
02:03:28,000 --> 02:03:29,000
And the stretch.

1332
02:03:29,000 --> 02:03:30,000
Clark leads from second.

1333
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:31,000
White from first.

1334
02:03:31,000 --> 02:03:33,000
The 1-1 is down the dirt.

1335
02:03:33,000 --> 02:03:39,000
Two balls and two strikes.

1336
02:03:39,000 --> 02:03:47,000
Matty Alou batting a 3-27.

1337
02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:50,000
Matty has a homerun five runs batted in.

1338
02:03:50,000 --> 02:03:52,000
Here's a 2-2 pitch to Alou.

1339
02:03:52,000 --> 02:03:53,000
Down in the dirt.

1340
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:54,000
Ball three.

1341
02:03:54,000 --> 02:03:56,000
3-2.

1342
02:03:56,000 --> 02:04:01,000
Now, Horace Clark and Roy White look over at Dickhouser for sign.

1343
02:04:01,000 --> 02:04:02,000
Time's call.

1344
02:04:02,000 --> 02:04:06,000
Now, Paul Shaw, the third baseman, wants to talk to his pitcher.

1345
02:04:06,000 --> 02:04:09,000
Will the Yankees be running here on a 3-2 down on Alou?

1346
02:04:09,000 --> 02:04:12,000
Well, they might, Bill, because Alou doesn't strike out that often.

1347
02:04:12,000 --> 02:04:13,000
But we'll see.

1348
02:04:13,000 --> 02:04:17,000
Now, Mayberry, the first baseman, comes in.

1349
02:04:17,000 --> 02:04:19,000
He wants to join that conference at the mound.

1350
02:04:19,000 --> 02:04:20,000
And the umpires won't let him.

1351
02:04:20,000 --> 02:04:22,000
They say one man at a time unless the manager's out there.

1352
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:24,000
And that one man is Shaw.

1353
02:04:24,000 --> 02:04:25,000
So Shaw goes back.

1354
02:04:25,000 --> 02:04:31,000
And now Mayberry is going to get his two cents worth in with the pitcher, Mike Jackson.

1355
02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:33,000
Matty's been up 49 times.

1356
02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:34,000
He struck out eight times.

1357
02:04:34,000 --> 02:04:38,000
Let's see what they'll do.

1358
02:04:38,000 --> 02:04:41,000
Horace Clark leading down from second.

1359
02:04:41,000 --> 02:04:47,000
Roy White takes the short lead off at first.

1360
02:04:47,000 --> 02:04:48,000
Jackson looking at it.

1361
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:49,000
Healy has a sign.

1362
02:04:49,000 --> 02:04:50,000
Comes to the bell.

1363
02:04:50,000 --> 02:04:52,000
And he throws the first base.

1364
02:04:52,000 --> 02:04:57,000
But White's back there safely.

1365
02:04:57,000 --> 02:04:59,000
Mayberry snuck in behind White.

1366
02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:00,000
That's a pretty good play.

1367
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:01,000
It didn't work that time, though.

1368
02:05:01,000 --> 02:05:02,000
Now the stretch.

1369
02:05:02,000 --> 02:05:03,000
Runners lead.

1370
02:05:03,000 --> 02:05:04,000
They're not going.

1371
02:05:04,000 --> 02:05:06,000
Breaking ball is looked for.

1372
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:11,000
And Roy White not trying to go to third.

1373
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:12,000
It goes off the bag.

1374
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:13,000
And he goes to third.

1375
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:22,000
So the Yankees with Matty Lou lopping the single out of the left field to drive in their

1376
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:23,000
third run.

1377
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:25,000
Roy White got hung up between first and second.

1378
02:05:25,000 --> 02:05:26,000
He really faked Penella.

1379
02:05:26,000 --> 02:05:33,000
And when Penella got his arm at the top, White went on in the third.

1380
02:05:33,000 --> 02:05:34,000
And the throw was off the back.

1381
02:05:34,000 --> 02:05:36,000
So White made it there safely.

1382
02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:40,000
Matty Lou at first base with his sixth run batted into the air.

1383
02:05:40,000 --> 02:05:42,000
And the Yankees lead three to one.

1384
02:05:42,000 --> 02:05:46,000
Yankees got a little bit of a break there on Roy White because that Penella's throw

1385
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:47,000
been good.

1386
02:05:47,000 --> 02:05:49,000
And to the bag, I think they would have had him.

1387
02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:51,000
About 20 feet.

1388
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:53,000
By just about 20.

1389
02:05:53,000 --> 02:05:55,000
Jack McKeon, the manager, is out there.

1390
02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:57,000
And he is there to make a pitching change.

1391
02:05:57,000 --> 02:06:04,000
So Jackson came up with one, two, three, four, and a third, a hitless inning.

1392
02:06:04,000 --> 02:06:07,000
But here in the seventh, Clark's leadoff double.

1393
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:09,000
It bounced into the left field seats.

1394
02:06:09,000 --> 02:06:12,000
White's ground ball off Jackson's leg.

1395
02:06:12,000 --> 02:06:17,000
And now Matty Lou's little easy swing single out into left center field.

1396
02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:24,000
That's driven Jackson from the ballgame.

1397
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:27,000
Let's see who it is coming in.

1398
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:29,000
Donnie Bergmeyer.

1399
02:06:29,000 --> 02:06:30,000
He's another left-hander.

1400
02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:32,000
Bergmeyer.

1401
02:06:32,000 --> 02:06:33,000
He wastes no time.

1402
02:06:33,000 --> 02:06:36,000
He gets out of the dots and then runs out to the mound.

1403
02:06:36,000 --> 02:06:37,000
He wants that baseball.

1404
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:39,000
And let's get down to business.

1405
02:06:39,000 --> 02:06:43,000
So he'll be facing Mercer and Nettles.

1406
02:06:43,000 --> 02:06:47,000
And then Felipe Alou with White now at third.

1407
02:06:47,000 --> 02:06:53,000
There was no air on the last play, incidentally, even though White would not have gone to third,

1408
02:06:53,000 --> 02:07:00,000
had the throw been good.

1409
02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:07,000
So the log on Jackson, four and a third innings.

1410
02:07:07,000 --> 02:07:13,000
So far he has allowed one run, but the two base runners are his responsibility.

1411
02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:14,000
Three hits.

1412
02:07:14,000 --> 02:07:20,000
He walked four and he struck out two.

1413
02:07:20,000 --> 02:07:23,000
And right now it's the left-hander Bergmeyer starts his warm-up throws.

1414
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:26,000
Let's see what he's done so far this year.

1415
02:07:26,000 --> 02:07:29,000
Bergmeyer has been in five ballgames prior to this.

1416
02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:31,000
All in relief.

1417
02:07:31,000 --> 02:07:37,000
He has pitched only eight innings, allowed 10 hits and five runs, walked four and struck out three.

1418
02:07:37,000 --> 02:07:42,000
So from that he would say he has not had eight of the best innings of his career.

1419
02:07:42,000 --> 02:07:48,000
And an earned run average of 5.63.

1420
02:07:48,000 --> 02:07:53,000
That California-Detroit game is now in the bottom half of the sixth inning,

1421
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:56,000
with California leading by a score of 6-1.

1422
02:07:56,000 --> 02:07:59,000
Cleveland and Minnesota got rained out in Minnesota.

1423
02:07:59,000 --> 02:08:03,000
Baltimore and Chicago are tied 1-1 in the bottom half of the fourth inning.

1424
02:08:03,000 --> 02:08:05,000
Dick Allen has Homer in that ballgame.

1425
02:08:05,000 --> 02:08:08,000
Oakland leads Milwaukee 1-0, I think, at the end of 2.

1426
02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:14,000
And time has been called because of rain in Milwaukee.

1427
02:08:14,000 --> 02:08:19,000
Texas and Boston are tied up 6-6 at the end of 7.

1428
02:08:19,000 --> 02:08:20,000
Okay, Bill.

1429
02:08:20,000 --> 02:08:25,000
All right, Frank, here's Bobby Mercer against the left-hander, Clint, and Tom Bergmeyer.

1430
02:08:25,000 --> 02:08:27,000
Yankees ahead 3-1 here in the bottom of the seventh.

1431
02:08:27,000 --> 02:08:30,000
They have runners at first and third and no outs.

1432
02:08:30,000 --> 02:08:34,000
Mattie Lewitt first, Roy White down at third.

1433
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:37,000
White, with a bit of daring running, got to third.

1434
02:08:37,000 --> 02:08:39,000
Here's a stretch and the pitch to Mercer.

1435
02:08:39,000 --> 02:08:45,000
Down low on the knees, a called strike.

1436
02:08:45,000 --> 02:08:47,000
One strike count on Mercer, who's 0-3.

1437
02:08:47,000 --> 02:08:49,000
Bobby's flying to left field.

1438
02:08:49,000 --> 02:08:53,000
He's bounced to the first baseman on assistant, and he's struck out.

1439
02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:55,000
Jack McKeon going with a lot of left-handers.

1440
02:08:55,000 --> 02:08:59,000
After the Yankees got rid of his right-hander's starter, Ken Wright, the 0-1 pitch.

1441
02:08:59,000 --> 02:09:09,000
Plung onto the deep right center field.

1442
02:09:09,000 --> 02:09:30,000
Listen to that crowd as the Yankees make their first run.

1443
02:09:30,000 --> 02:09:32,000
All right, quite a crowd reaction.

1444
02:09:32,000 --> 02:09:36,000
Bobby Mercer hitting on into the right center field bleachers.

1445
02:09:36,000 --> 02:09:39,000
Mercer does not hit too many balls into the bleachers.

1446
02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:44,000
He'll hit the most his own runs from the bulls back toward the power line.

1447
02:09:44,000 --> 02:09:48,000
And the Yankees lead a trick-through on that was Bobby's fourth home run of the year.

1448
02:09:48,000 --> 02:09:54,000
Here's Greg Nettles breaking balls, taking it outside.

1449
02:09:54,000 --> 02:09:59,000
Yankees 6, Royals 1 here in the bottom of the seventh.

1450
02:09:59,000 --> 02:10:02,000
Still no outs.

1451
02:10:02,000 --> 02:10:06,000
Burke Barr winds a 1-0 pitch.

1452
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:08,000
Plung on and foul straight back.

1453
02:10:08,000 --> 02:10:27,000
Nettles with a thick cut.

1454
02:10:27,000 --> 02:10:29,000
Here's the 1-1 pitch to Nettles.

1455
02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:32,000
Plucked up in the shallow center field.

1456
02:10:32,000 --> 02:10:33,000
The second baseman for Locke was out.

1457
02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:34,000
He's called off by the center field.

1458
02:10:34,000 --> 02:10:37,000
The Otis and Amos Otis one-handed.

1459
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:39,000
This is the New York Yankee baseball network.

1460
02:10:39,000 --> 02:10:42,000
Let's pause for station identification.

1461
02:10:42,000 --> 02:10:43,000
Hope you're enjoying the game.

1462
02:10:43,000 --> 02:10:45,000
This is Bill Edwardson, the host of Breakfast with Bill.

1463
02:10:45,000 --> 02:10:50,000
In the morning we have music, we have comedy on the Grub Club, we have Dave Smith on sports.

1464
02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:51,000
The only thing we lack is you.

1465
02:10:51,000 --> 02:10:52,000
Where have you been?

1466
02:10:52,000 --> 02:11:00,000
Join us in the morning on WQBK FM Rensselaer.

1467
02:11:00,000 --> 02:11:01,000
One out, nobody on.

1468
02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:03,000
Here's Felipe Alou.

1469
02:11:03,000 --> 02:11:04,000
Pitch is inside.

1470
02:11:04,000 --> 02:11:05,000
Backs Felipe off.

1471
02:11:05,000 --> 02:11:07,000
Yankees ahead 6-1.

1472
02:11:07,000 --> 02:11:14,000
Picked up three quick one runs this inning on Pauly Mercer's fourth home run of the year into the right center field seats.

1473
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:16,000
The next pitch is hit on the ground to first.

1474
02:11:16,000 --> 02:11:18,000
Mayberry has it.

1475
02:11:18,000 --> 02:11:19,000
Takes his time.

1476
02:11:19,000 --> 02:11:20,000
Goes to first base.

1477
02:11:20,000 --> 02:11:22,000
Two is out, two outs.

1478
02:11:22,000 --> 02:11:24,000
Felipe Alou bounces out.

1479
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:26,000
Mayberry unassisted.

1480
02:11:26,000 --> 02:11:33,000
Here's Thurman to the catcher.

1481
02:11:33,000 --> 02:11:40,000
Yankees have picked up four runs so far this inning.

1482
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:41,000
Munson is 0-2.

1483
02:11:41,000 --> 02:11:44,000
He's got a 10-game hitting streak going and he'd like to keep it going.

1484
02:11:44,000 --> 02:11:47,000
He's batting at 371.

1485
02:11:47,000 --> 02:11:52,000
He bounced back to the pitch or he'd bounce a third and walk.

1486
02:11:52,000 --> 02:11:54,000
Bergmar looking in.

1487
02:11:54,000 --> 02:11:56,000
The left-hander's over the head and the pitch.

1488
02:11:56,000 --> 02:12:02,000
Swung on, chop, foul, back behind the plate.

1489
02:12:02,000 --> 02:12:05,000
Bobby Mercer is tied now in home runs with Greg Nettles.

1490
02:12:05,000 --> 02:12:07,000
They both have four.

1491
02:12:07,000 --> 02:12:09,000
Mercer goes ahead in RBIs.

1492
02:12:09,000 --> 02:12:11,000
He's got 14 now.

1493
02:12:11,000 --> 02:12:13,000
Nettles has 12.

1494
02:12:13,000 --> 02:12:14,000
Munson has 10.

1495
02:12:14,000 --> 02:12:26,000
The 0-1 pitch, outside ball one, one-on-one.

1496
02:12:26,000 --> 02:12:28,000
Yankees really mashing the ball this inning.

1497
02:12:28,000 --> 02:12:29,000
A double by Clark.

1498
02:12:29,000 --> 02:12:31,000
An infield hit by White.

1499
02:12:31,000 --> 02:12:34,000
RBI single by Alou.

1500
02:12:34,000 --> 02:12:42,000
And then a three-run home run over the auxiliary scoreboard out in right-center field by Bobby Mercer.

1501
02:12:42,000 --> 02:12:46,000
Yankees are ahead 6-1.

1502
02:12:46,000 --> 02:12:48,000
Here's the 1-1 pitch to Munson.

1503
02:12:48,000 --> 02:12:49,000
Outside ball two.

1504
02:12:49,000 --> 02:12:53,000
It's 2-1.

1505
02:12:53,000 --> 02:12:57,000
On deck, Estella-Renos-Centus.

1506
02:12:57,000 --> 02:13:02,000
They play Munson to hit to the opposite field.

1507
02:13:02,000 --> 02:13:05,000
The left fielder's straight away.

1508
02:13:05,000 --> 02:13:06,000
The 2-1 pitch.

1509
02:13:06,000 --> 02:13:09,000
Outside ball three, 3-1.

1510
02:13:09,000 --> 02:13:10,000
Left fielder, Panela, straight away.

1511
02:13:10,000 --> 02:13:13,000
The right fielder's near the line and in.

1512
02:13:13,000 --> 02:13:18,000
And Amos Otis, the center fielder, is three or four steps over toward right center.

1513
02:13:18,000 --> 02:13:22,000
So there's a big gap between Panela and Otis.

1514
02:13:22,000 --> 02:13:24,000
That's out in left center field.

1515
02:13:24,000 --> 02:13:26,000
Here's the 3-1 pitch to Munson.

1516
02:13:26,000 --> 02:13:27,000
Swung on.

1517
02:13:27,000 --> 02:13:29,000
It's fouled on the right side.

1518
02:13:29,000 --> 02:13:30,000
It'll be in the mezzanine.

1519
02:13:30,000 --> 02:13:34,000
It goes over the upper deck.

1520
02:13:34,000 --> 02:13:38,000
And it's 3-2.

1521
02:13:38,000 --> 02:13:40,000
Big inning here for the Yankees in the seventh.

1522
02:13:40,000 --> 02:13:43,000
They picked up four runs.

1523
02:13:43,000 --> 02:13:46,000
They go with the two they had in the second.

1524
02:13:46,000 --> 02:13:47,000
And they lead 6-1.

1525
02:13:47,000 --> 02:13:50,000
Six runs on seven hits.

1526
02:13:50,000 --> 02:13:51,000
Here's the payoff pitch to Munson.

1527
02:13:51,000 --> 02:13:52,000
Swung on.

1528
02:13:52,000 --> 02:13:53,000
Fouled off.

1529
02:13:53,000 --> 02:13:57,000
Straight back out of play.

1530
02:13:57,000 --> 02:14:03,000
They continue to pitch Munson outside.

1531
02:14:03,000 --> 02:14:07,000
Looking at the scoreboard, Chicago leads Baltimore 1-0 there in the second inning.

1532
02:14:07,000 --> 02:14:11,000
Boston 6, Texas 3, they're in the sixth inning.

1533
02:14:11,000 --> 02:14:15,000
And in the fourth inning, California 4, Detroit nothing.

1534
02:14:15,000 --> 02:14:17,000
Lead of Minnesota both-both.

1535
02:14:17,000 --> 02:14:18,000
Payoff pitch to Munson.

1536
02:14:18,000 --> 02:14:19,000
Swung on.

1537
02:14:19,000 --> 02:14:25,000
Fall back once again to the mezzanine.

1538
02:14:25,000 --> 02:14:34,000
In the national league, Houston and Philadelphia.

1539
02:14:34,000 --> 02:14:42,000
They're 3-0, Houston with Philly batting in the last of the night.

1540
02:14:42,000 --> 02:14:43,000
Payoff pitch to Munson.

1541
02:14:43,000 --> 02:14:44,000
Swung on.

1542
02:14:44,000 --> 02:14:45,000
Hit on the ground.

1543
02:14:45,000 --> 02:14:46,000
The whole Potech's got it.

1544
02:14:46,000 --> 02:14:47,000
The short stop with the long throw.

1545
02:14:47,000 --> 02:14:50,000
It's in the dirt and past the first baseman.

1546
02:14:50,000 --> 02:14:59,000
So Munson will be given second base as a fan grabs that ball as it got back by the screen.

1547
02:14:59,000 --> 02:15:01,000
So give Munson a base hit.

1548
02:15:01,000 --> 02:15:02,000
An infield hit.

1549
02:15:02,000 --> 02:15:06,000
He got that ball and the whole Potech had to go all the way over there, couldn't throw him out.

1550
02:15:06,000 --> 02:15:07,000
The throw was in the dirt.

1551
02:15:07,000 --> 02:15:10,000
Now they're going to call Munson back.

1552
02:15:10,000 --> 02:15:12,000
Munson gets an infield hit.

1553
02:15:12,000 --> 02:15:15,000
And they're going to call him back to first base.

1554
02:15:15,000 --> 02:15:21,000
The first base umpire, Joe Brakeman, originally sent Munson to second because a fan touched the ball.

1555
02:15:21,000 --> 02:15:24,000
Then Bill Haller, the home plate umpire, went down there.

1556
02:15:24,000 --> 02:15:30,000
I guess Haller felt that if the ball had stayed in play, John Mayberry would have held Munson in first base.

1557
02:15:30,000 --> 02:15:32,000
Well, Thurman's being called back to first.

1558
02:15:32,000 --> 02:15:38,000
But he does get his hitting streak or keeps his hitting streak intact.

1559
02:15:38,000 --> 02:15:43,000
He has now hit in 11 straight games.

1560
02:15:43,000 --> 02:15:46,000
Same play, Bill, earlier this season.

1561
02:15:46,000 --> 02:15:48,000
Throw over there and they did allow the runner to go to second.

1562
02:15:48,000 --> 02:15:53,000
But then the umpire said they felt that the ball would have bounced into the seats even if a spectator had not touched it.

1563
02:15:53,000 --> 02:15:56,000
This one obviously would not have.

1564
02:15:56,000 --> 02:16:00,000
The fan reached well over the railing and the ball would not have bounced into the seats.

1565
02:16:00,000 --> 02:16:04,000
So I think it has to be a fair call on the part of Bill Haller.

1566
02:16:04,000 --> 02:16:06,000
All right, here's Salarino's sentencing.

1567
02:16:06,000 --> 02:16:08,000
The stretch by Bergmeier.

1568
02:16:08,000 --> 02:16:11,000
The pitch is a fastball on the outside corner to call strike.

1569
02:16:11,000 --> 02:16:15,000
John Callison was the Yankees' original designated hitter.

1570
02:16:15,000 --> 02:16:16,000
He only batted once.

1571
02:16:16,000 --> 02:16:21,000
The sentenances went in when McKeon, the skipper of the Royals, switched to a left-hander.

1572
02:16:21,000 --> 02:16:23,000
And Salarino walked and he's flied out.

1573
02:16:23,000 --> 02:16:25,000
So he's 0 for 1.

1574
02:16:25,000 --> 02:16:29,000
The next pitch is swung on and missed the ball with two strikes.

1575
02:16:29,000 --> 02:16:31,000
Kenny Wright started the ball game for the Royals.

1576
02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:33,000
He only went one, two-thirds innings.

1577
02:16:33,000 --> 02:16:35,000
Gave up two runs.

1578
02:16:35,000 --> 02:16:37,000
Mike Jackson came on in the second, pitched well.

1579
02:16:37,000 --> 02:16:39,000
He went five and a third.

1580
02:16:39,000 --> 02:16:42,000
And he was responsible for three runs.

1581
02:16:42,000 --> 02:16:47,000
The other run is charged to Tom Bergmeier, the guy who's in there now.

1582
02:16:47,000 --> 02:16:52,000
Here's the 0-2 Pista Sanchez outside at 1-2.

1583
02:16:52,000 --> 02:16:59,000
When Mercer hit his home run off Bergmeier, the two runners on, White and Alou,

1584
02:16:59,000 --> 02:17:04,000
the responsibility of Mike Jackson.

1585
02:17:04,000 --> 02:17:08,000
Well, the Yankees are ahead 6-1 here in the bottom of the seventh, two outs, months to the first.

1586
02:17:08,000 --> 02:17:16,000
The next pitch is outside, ball two, 2-2.

1587
02:17:16,000 --> 02:17:20,000
They're playing Sanchez straight away.

1588
02:17:20,000 --> 02:17:22,000
Well, the White Sox have gone ahead of Baltimore.

1589
02:17:22,000 --> 02:17:28,000
Dick Allen has hit two home runs in that ball game, his fourth and fifth of the year.

1590
02:17:28,000 --> 02:17:33,000
The next pitch, swung on by Sanchez, and he strikes out.

1591
02:17:33,000 --> 02:17:35,000
But the Yankees have a big inning.

1592
02:17:35,000 --> 02:17:43,000
They pick up four runs on five hits, including a big three-run over by Bobby Mercer.

1593
02:17:43,000 --> 02:17:45,000
They left the man on base.

1594
02:17:45,000 --> 02:17:51,000
And at the end of seventh, the Yankees sixth, the Kansas City Royals, one.

1595
02:17:51,000 --> 02:17:55,000
We're all familiar with those TV commercials that picture a youngster shouting,

1596
02:17:55,000 --> 02:17:58,000
Daddy, Daddy, only one cavity.

1597
02:17:58,000 --> 02:18:04,000
With all due respect to toothpaste commercials, a healthy set of teeth is due in part to proper care

1598
02:18:04,000 --> 02:18:07,000
and regular dental visits for checkups.

1599
02:18:07,000 --> 02:18:13,000
Blue Shield, recognizing the fact that all too often regular dental care is often related to the income of the family,

1600
02:18:13,000 --> 02:18:17,000
has designed a dental program which everyone can afford.

1601
02:18:17,000 --> 02:18:21,000
At this time, it's only available to employee groups of 50 or more.

1602
02:18:21,000 --> 02:18:25,000
Blue Shield's dental program encourages regular checkups to prevent tooth decay.

1603
02:18:25,000 --> 02:18:28,000
The whole emphasis is on preventive care.

1604
02:18:28,000 --> 02:18:31,000
However, the program is not designed for children alone.

1605
02:18:31,000 --> 02:18:33,000
It covers the whole family.

1606
02:18:33,000 --> 02:18:37,000
If you're employed where there are 50 or more and don't have a dental program,

1607
02:18:37,000 --> 02:18:39,000
ask your boss to look into it.

1608
02:18:39,000 --> 02:18:43,000
Blue Shield believes a healthy smile is everyone's right.

1609
02:18:43,000 --> 02:18:44,000
Don't you agree?

1610
02:18:44,000 --> 02:18:48,000
If you're an employer of 50 or more and want to know more about this plan,

1611
02:18:48,000 --> 02:18:56,000
contact the Dental Services Department at Blue Shield in Albany.

1612
02:18:56,000 --> 02:18:59,000
Well, Phil Rossitto is away from us for a couple of days,

1613
02:18:59,000 --> 02:19:06,000
but he'll be rejoining us in Chicago Friday night for the first game of the upcoming Yankee road trip

1614
02:19:06,000 --> 02:19:10,000
as the Yankees go to Chicago and then on to the Twin Cities,

1615
02:19:10,000 --> 02:19:15,000
Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota to take on the twins in their backyard.

1616
02:19:15,000 --> 02:19:21,000
Right now, the Yankees enjoying a five-run lead, six to one, and we go to the eighth inning.

1617
02:19:21,000 --> 02:19:25,000
All right, Frank, and a win by the Yankees here.

1618
02:19:25,000 --> 02:19:28,000
These scores keep coming in the way they've been coming in.

1619
02:19:28,000 --> 02:19:31,000
The Yankees can be tied for first place.

1620
02:19:31,000 --> 02:19:34,000
The ball game is over.

1621
02:19:34,000 --> 02:19:36,000
Baltimore is losing to Chicago.

1622
02:19:36,000 --> 02:19:40,000
Dick Allen is at two home runs, and the White Sox lead at least two to one

1623
02:19:40,000 --> 02:19:43,000
in the fourth inning with Chicago batting.

1624
02:19:43,000 --> 02:19:48,000
Dick Allen hit his fourth in the first and his fifth in the fourth.

1625
02:19:48,000 --> 02:19:53,000
Here's Amos Otis, and he fouls the first pitch off into the upper deck off Sparky Lyle.

1626
02:19:53,000 --> 02:19:57,000
So the White Sox lead Baltimore at least two to one with the White Sox still batting

1627
02:19:57,000 --> 02:20:03,000
in the last half of the fourth inning in their ball game in Chicago.

1628
02:20:03,000 --> 02:20:09,000
California's sixth, Detroit one, with Detroit batting in the bottom of the sixth.

1629
02:20:09,000 --> 02:20:16,000
The Tigers are playing an even 500 baseball, and Oakland leads Milwaukee one-nothing after two.

1630
02:20:16,000 --> 02:20:21,000
And Milwaukee's in third place with a 9-9 record, so the Yankees can jump over everybody.

1631
02:20:21,000 --> 02:20:26,000
Time has been called in that ball game because of rain in Milwaukee.

1632
02:20:26,000 --> 02:20:31,000
There are balls in in the air, right field, Matty Lewis way back, way back, up near the wall.

1633
02:20:31,000 --> 02:20:36,000
He's got it right in front of the scoreboard in deep right center field.

1634
02:20:36,000 --> 02:20:40,000
So Otis drives Matty all the way back to the board there, all in his long fly.

1635
02:20:40,000 --> 02:20:45,000
There's one away here in the eighth.

1636
02:20:45,000 --> 02:20:48,000
And in that fourth inning, the White Sox picked up a couple more runs,

1637
02:20:48,000 --> 02:20:53,000
and they lead Baltimore four to one after four full innings of play.

1638
02:20:53,000 --> 02:20:55,000
Play hard against Fisher.

1639
02:20:55,000 --> 02:21:01,000
Couple home runs in that ball game by Dick Allen, his fourth and fifth of the year.

1640
02:21:01,000 --> 02:21:06,000
The Yankees, chances of getting in the first place, improving with each inning.

1641
02:21:06,000 --> 02:21:09,000
Here's John Mayberry, Lyle over the head, pumps and deals.

1642
02:21:09,000 --> 02:21:13,000
Sidearm fastball is too low.

1643
02:21:13,000 --> 02:21:19,000
Mayberry batting at 231, but he leads the American League and runs batted in with 20.

1644
02:21:19,000 --> 02:21:22,000
He's picked up one in this ball game. He's one for two.

1645
02:21:22,000 --> 02:21:25,000
Lyle over the head, the one-oh pitch.

1646
02:21:25,000 --> 02:21:27,000
Swung on and missed it one-and-one.

1647
02:21:27,000 --> 02:21:32,000
Mayberry, John, hits the ball all the way out of the stadium.

1648
02:21:32,000 --> 02:21:35,000
On deck is Ed Kirkpatrick, who are in the top of the eighth.

1649
02:21:35,000 --> 02:21:38,000
The Yankees ahead, six to one.

1650
02:21:38,000 --> 02:21:40,000
They play Mayberry to pull.

1651
02:21:40,000 --> 02:21:41,000
Lyle's ready.

1652
02:21:41,000 --> 02:21:45,000
The one-one pitch, breaking ball, checks wing, bounce foul out in front of the play.

1653
02:21:45,000 --> 02:21:48,000
As it kicked up, it hit Mayberry on the arm.

1654
02:21:48,000 --> 02:21:51,000
So it's a ball and two strikes.

1655
02:21:51,000 --> 02:21:53,000
They really play Mayberry to pull.

1656
02:21:53,000 --> 02:21:55,000
Malu back behind the bag at first.

1657
02:21:55,000 --> 02:21:58,000
Horace Clark on the grass at second.

1658
02:21:58,000 --> 02:22:04,000
Michael, about five steps from first base on the third, from second base on the shortstop side.

1659
02:22:04,000 --> 02:22:07,000
And Nettle playing wide at third.

1660
02:22:07,000 --> 02:22:09,000
Here's the one-two pitch to Mayberry.

1661
02:22:09,000 --> 02:22:13,000
Inside it's two and two.

1662
02:22:13,000 --> 02:22:20,000
Maddie and Lue playing back up on the track in right field in front of the 344-foot side.

1663
02:22:20,000 --> 02:22:21,000
Horace is straight away at center.

1664
02:22:21,000 --> 02:22:23,000
So is White and left.

1665
02:22:23,000 --> 02:22:24,000
Two-two pitch.

1666
02:22:24,000 --> 02:22:27,000
Cold strike three got him looking.

1667
02:22:27,000 --> 02:22:36,000
Spocky Lyle got the outside corner with a hard fastball, tailing away from the left-hander.

1668
02:22:36,000 --> 02:22:38,000
And they're two outs.

1669
02:22:38,000 --> 02:22:42,000
And here's Ed Kirkpatrick, the right fielder.

1670
02:22:42,000 --> 02:22:48,000
And the way Lyle has pitched this ball game, it might be a bigger game for him than the actual win.

1671
02:22:48,000 --> 02:22:51,000
Lyle has given up three home runs in his previous starts.

1672
02:22:51,000 --> 02:22:53,000
He's making his fifth appearance.

1673
02:22:53,000 --> 02:22:56,000
He's only given up three home runs in 59 appearances last year.

1674
02:22:56,000 --> 02:22:58,000
So it looks like Lyle is back.

1675
02:22:58,000 --> 02:23:01,000
Breaking ball is too low.

1676
02:23:01,000 --> 02:23:07,000
And with Lyle pitching the way he pitched last year and with Lindy McDaniel pitching this year as well as he's pitched,

1677
02:23:07,000 --> 02:23:12,000
it'll be a great boon to the Yankee chances in the American League each.

1678
02:23:12,000 --> 02:23:14,000
Six pitches outside.

1679
02:23:14,000 --> 02:23:17,000
It's two balls and no strikes.

1680
02:23:17,000 --> 02:23:19,000
Yankees ahead by a score of 6-1.

1681
02:23:19,000 --> 02:23:21,000
They have six runs on eight hits.

1682
02:23:21,000 --> 02:23:25,000
The Kansas City Royals one run on six hits.

1683
02:23:25,000 --> 02:23:28,000
That's six on my mind.

1684
02:23:28,000 --> 02:23:30,000
Two-oh pitch coming down to Kirkpatrick.

1685
02:23:30,000 --> 02:23:37,000
Cold strike two and one.

1686
02:23:37,000 --> 02:23:38,000
And he's been up about three times.

1687
02:23:38,000 --> 02:23:40,000
He's one for three.

1688
02:23:40,000 --> 02:23:43,000
Bounce into a forced out, bounce into a double-plant single.

1689
02:23:43,000 --> 02:23:48,000
The next pitch is too low. It's three and one.

1690
02:23:48,000 --> 02:23:49,000
Two outs, nobody on.

1691
02:23:49,000 --> 02:23:54,000
You're at the top of the eighth.

1692
02:23:54,000 --> 02:23:55,000
Yankees up by five.

1693
02:23:55,000 --> 02:24:00,000
They lead six to one.

1694
02:24:00,000 --> 02:24:01,000
There's the wind by Lyle.

1695
02:24:01,000 --> 02:24:03,000
The pitch flung on and missed.

1696
02:24:03,000 --> 02:24:06,000
Stuck him out.

1697
02:24:06,000 --> 02:24:14,000
Up is three and two.

1698
02:24:14,000 --> 02:24:16,000
Full count on Kirkpatrick.

1699
02:24:16,000 --> 02:24:19,000
Did he say he didn't go around on that?

1700
02:24:19,000 --> 02:24:22,000
That counts three and two.

1701
02:24:22,000 --> 02:24:23,000
Here's the payoff pitch.

1702
02:24:23,000 --> 02:24:25,000
That's a strikeout.

1703
02:24:25,000 --> 02:24:27,000
If Kirkpatrick waves a double.

1704
02:24:27,000 --> 02:24:32,000
So Lyle strikes out the last two men, he says.

1705
02:24:32,000 --> 02:24:35,000
He's got to tell me, we're in Kirkpatrick, and that's it for the Royals.

1706
02:24:35,000 --> 02:24:37,000
Three up and three down.

1707
02:24:37,000 --> 02:24:43,000
In the middle of the eighth, Yankee six, the Royals one.

1708
02:24:43,000 --> 02:24:51,000
Miss Lena Horne.

1709
02:24:51,000 --> 02:24:59,000
Shaffer is the one day to have when you're having more than one.

1710
02:24:59,000 --> 02:25:07,000
Shaffer, there's your duck bait even when your first is done.

1711
02:25:07,000 --> 02:25:16,000
The most rewarding thing in this man's world for people who are having fun.

1712
02:25:16,000 --> 02:25:27,000
Shaffer is the one day to have when you're having more than one.

1713
02:25:27,000 --> 02:25:45,000
Shaffer is the one day to have when you're having more than one.

1714
02:25:45,000 --> 02:25:48,000
The final game on this home stand will be played here tomorrow night at 730.

1715
02:25:48,000 --> 02:25:53,000
The Yankees and the KC Royals and the Yankees with newfound power.

1716
02:25:53,000 --> 02:25:54,000
Banging away, Bill.

1717
02:25:54,000 --> 02:25:58,000
All right, here's J. Michael against Burt Beier, and six fouls the first pitch off,

1718
02:25:58,000 --> 02:26:01,000
great backing in the seats.

1719
02:26:01,000 --> 02:26:04,000
We're in the bottom half of the eighth inning, Yankees ahead six to one.

1720
02:26:04,000 --> 02:26:07,000
It'll be Michael, Clark, and White in that order.

1721
02:26:07,000 --> 02:26:09,000
Yankees picked up two runs in the second inning.

1722
02:26:09,000 --> 02:26:12,000
The Royals came back with one in the third.

1723
02:26:12,000 --> 02:26:14,000
The Yankees picked up four in the bottom of the seventh.

1724
02:26:14,000 --> 02:26:18,000
Change up, line drive, face hit left field by Michael.

1725
02:26:18,000 --> 02:26:23,000
Six around first base, but he'll hold there as Fenella gets the ball back into the infield.

1726
02:26:23,000 --> 02:26:27,000
So Michael leads off the eighth by singling sharply to left field.

1727
02:26:27,000 --> 02:26:31,000
He's now a two for four in the ball game with an RBI, and he's also a four to run.

1728
02:26:31,000 --> 02:26:33,000
Here's Horace Clark.

1729
02:26:33,000 --> 02:26:37,000
Clark is two for three.

1730
02:26:37,000 --> 02:26:45,000
He's got a stolen base and RBI, and also he's four to run.

1731
02:26:45,000 --> 02:26:53,000
House batting a right-handed against the left-handed Tom Bergmeier.

1732
02:26:53,000 --> 02:26:59,000
Mercer's three-run home run last inning, the big hit so far for the Yankees.

1733
02:26:59,000 --> 02:27:10,000
Pitch to Clark, outside of ball.

1734
02:27:10,000 --> 02:27:12,000
Michael leads from first.

1735
02:27:12,000 --> 02:27:15,000
Mayberry holds it, the stretch by Bergmeier.

1736
02:27:15,000 --> 02:27:24,000
The 1-0 pitch foul straight back into the upper deck by the Hawks, and it's 1-1.

1737
02:27:24,000 --> 02:27:30,000
Well, Henry Aaron just hit his 680th lifetime home run.

1738
02:27:30,000 --> 02:27:32,000
That's his second tonight.

1739
02:27:32,000 --> 02:27:37,000
It's numbers 6-7-9 and 6-8-0.

1740
02:27:37,000 --> 02:27:38,000
The 1-1 pitch to Clark.

1741
02:27:38,000 --> 02:27:42,000
Swung on, fouled off into the upper deck on the right side.

1742
02:27:42,000 --> 02:27:45,000
1-2.

1743
02:27:45,000 --> 02:27:55,000
So Aaron moves within 34 of Babe Ruth.

1744
02:27:55,000 --> 02:27:58,000
That's his seventh home run this year.

1745
02:27:58,000 --> 02:28:00,000
Here's a stretch by Bergmeier.

1746
02:28:00,000 --> 02:28:01,000
He checks Michael at first.

1747
02:28:01,000 --> 02:28:04,000
The pitch, in there in the right center field.

1748
02:28:04,000 --> 02:28:08,000
Davis Otis is there, and he one-hands it for the first out.

1749
02:28:08,000 --> 02:28:11,000
Michael goes back to first base.

1750
02:28:11,000 --> 02:28:12,000
One away.

1751
02:28:12,000 --> 02:28:19,000
Here's Roy White, the left fielder.

1752
02:28:19,000 --> 02:28:25,000
White's two for three.

1753
02:28:25,000 --> 02:28:27,000
A single to right field, then field it, and he got on in there.

1754
02:28:27,000 --> 02:28:29,000
He's also a walk.

1755
02:28:29,000 --> 02:28:30,000
Yankees six.

1756
02:28:30,000 --> 02:28:31,000
Royals one.

1757
02:28:31,000 --> 02:28:34,000
Bottom of the eighth, one out, Michael at first base.

1758
02:28:34,000 --> 02:28:37,000
Maddie Lou, leading on the on-deck circle.

1759
02:28:37,000 --> 02:28:39,000
Here's a pitch to White.

1760
02:28:39,000 --> 02:28:43,000
And Bergmeier misses outside with a fastball.

1761
02:28:43,000 --> 02:28:46,000
Royals with the infield back looking for two here.

1762
02:28:46,000 --> 02:28:49,000
They're down by five.

1763
02:28:49,000 --> 02:28:52,000
Yankees ahead, six to one.

1764
02:28:52,000 --> 02:28:54,000
White batting at 195.

1765
02:28:54,000 --> 02:28:55,000
The next pitch.

1766
02:28:55,000 --> 02:29:00,000
Swung on, fouled straight back.

1767
02:29:00,000 --> 02:29:12,000
It's one and one.

1768
02:29:12,000 --> 02:29:14,000
Here's a stretch.

1769
02:29:14,000 --> 02:29:16,000
The one-one pitch to White.

1770
02:29:16,000 --> 02:29:18,000
Curveball it in the air to right center.

1771
02:29:18,000 --> 02:29:19,000
Out there is Fitzpatrick.

1772
02:29:19,000 --> 02:29:20,000
He's under.

1773
02:29:20,000 --> 02:29:21,000
He's got it.

1774
02:29:21,000 --> 02:29:22,000
Kirkpatrick's over there and under.

1775
02:29:22,000 --> 02:29:23,000
He's got it.

1776
02:29:23,000 --> 02:29:30,000
He's got two outs.

1777
02:29:30,000 --> 02:29:36,000
Here's Maddie Lou.

1778
02:29:36,000 --> 02:29:38,000
Michael is still at first base.

1779
02:29:38,000 --> 02:29:39,000
The Lou is one for two.

1780
02:29:39,000 --> 02:29:40,000
He's walked White.

1781
02:29:40,000 --> 02:29:43,000
Pop to the first base.

1782
02:29:43,000 --> 02:29:45,000
Joel Ben-Aranda with a single left field.

1783
02:29:45,000 --> 02:29:46,000
That was a key single.

1784
02:29:46,000 --> 02:29:50,000
Maddie got back on the second in the seventh inning.

1785
02:29:50,000 --> 02:29:55,000
Yankees that runner is at the second and first.

1786
02:29:55,000 --> 02:29:58,000
And Alou looped the ball in the left center, scoring one of them.

1787
02:29:58,000 --> 02:30:01,000
The first pitch from Bergmeier finds the outside corner.

1788
02:30:01,000 --> 02:30:05,000
It's a strike.

1789
02:30:05,000 --> 02:30:07,000
Maddie hitting from a closed stance.

1790
02:30:07,000 --> 02:30:09,000
Chokes way up on the bat.

1791
02:30:09,000 --> 02:30:10,000
Bergmeier comes to the belt.

1792
02:30:10,000 --> 02:30:11,000
The O-one pitch.

1793
02:30:11,000 --> 02:30:14,000
Breaking ball popped up behind the plate.

1794
02:30:14,000 --> 02:30:15,000
Healy's back.

1795
02:30:15,000 --> 02:30:18,000
He's huffing back and he's got it.

1796
02:30:18,000 --> 02:30:22,000
So Alou fouls out to Fran Healy back by the screen.

1797
02:30:22,000 --> 02:30:24,000
And that's it for the Yankees.

1798
02:30:24,000 --> 02:30:27,000
Here in the eighth, no runs on one hit and they leave a base runner.

1799
02:30:27,000 --> 02:30:33,000
After eight full innings of play, the Yankees lead the Royals by a score of six to one.

1800
02:30:33,000 --> 02:30:36,000
Where is the ball?

1801
02:30:36,000 --> 02:30:38,000
By Motorola.

1802
02:30:38,000 --> 02:30:39,000
Hi Yankee fans.

1803
02:30:39,000 --> 02:30:40,000
This is Bill Edwardson.

1804
02:30:40,000 --> 02:30:46,000
And Jack Hoppe here enjoying a show on a beautiful Quasar portable color TV by Motorola.

1805
02:30:46,000 --> 02:30:51,000
The instrument color tuning button automatically balances the color intensity, the hue, the

1806
02:30:51,000 --> 02:30:55,000
brightness and the contrast and even activates the fine tuning.

1807
02:30:55,000 --> 02:30:58,000
And there's no waiting for your color TV enjoyment.

1808
02:30:58,000 --> 02:31:04,000
As soon as you turn on this Motorola Quasar portable TV, the picture and sound come on

1809
02:31:04,000 --> 02:31:05,000
immediately.

1810
02:31:05,000 --> 02:31:10,000
Now these are only a few of the reasons to buy a Quasar portable color TV by Motorola.

1811
02:31:10,000 --> 02:31:16,000
Especially, Bill, when it can be yours for only $369.95.

1812
02:31:16,000 --> 02:31:20,000
By Motorola.

1813
02:31:20,000 --> 02:31:25,000
Motorola television products are available at Frasier's radio and TV service 14 Van Rensselaer

1814
02:31:25,000 --> 02:31:28,000
Road in Albany, phone 489-8214.

1815
02:31:28,000 --> 02:31:35,000
At Jack's TV service, RD4 Box 15, Mechanicville, phone 371-7420.

1816
02:31:35,000 --> 02:31:43,000
And at the TV clinic, 2557 Hamburg Street in Schenectady, phone 355-0812.

1817
02:31:43,000 --> 02:31:46,000
For the KC Royals.

1818
02:31:46,000 --> 02:31:50,000
And as we go along here, Bill, let me cut in once a while with a few scores.

1819
02:31:50,000 --> 02:31:52,000
Catch everybody up to date.

1820
02:31:52,000 --> 02:31:54,000
Right now, California leads Detroit 6 to 1.

1821
02:31:54,000 --> 02:31:56,000
They're in the bottom half of the seventh inning.

1822
02:31:56,000 --> 02:32:01,000
Bill Singer for the Angels, Woody Flan and Tommy Timmerman.

1823
02:32:01,000 --> 02:32:03,000
And now, Laren Legro pitching for Detroit.

1824
02:32:03,000 --> 02:32:08,000
Cleveland and Minnesota get rained out.

1825
02:32:08,000 --> 02:32:11,000
Chicago 4, Baltimore 1 at the end of 4.

1826
02:32:11,000 --> 02:32:15,000
A couple of home runs by Dick Allen and Ed Herman has also homered for Chicago.

1827
02:32:15,000 --> 02:32:17,000
So they're long balling Quasar tonight.

1828
02:32:17,000 --> 02:32:21,000
And Eddie Fisher, the knuckle baller, trying to make them hold up.

1829
02:32:21,000 --> 02:32:24,000
All right, Frank, here's Lou Pennella leading off for the Royals.

1830
02:32:24,000 --> 02:32:27,000
We're at the top of the ninth. Yankees ahead 6 to 1.

1831
02:32:27,000 --> 02:32:31,000
Lyle throws a breaking ball that's too high.

1832
02:32:31,000 --> 02:32:37,000
Pennella's 0 for 3. He's bounced out twice and he's bounced into a fielder's choice.

1833
02:32:37,000 --> 02:32:39,000
That's right-handed. Hits from a closed stance.

1834
02:32:39,000 --> 02:32:41,000
Lyle over the head. The pitch.

1835
02:32:41,000 --> 02:32:44,000
Swung on at this point and won.

1836
02:32:44,000 --> 02:32:48,000
Milwaukee 3, Oakland 2 in the bottom half of the fourth inning.

1837
02:32:48,000 --> 02:32:50,000
Gene Tennesse is homered there for Oakland.

1838
02:32:50,000 --> 02:32:57,000
And that Texas-Boston game is in the eighth inning tied 6 to 6 at Fenway Park.

1839
02:32:57,000 --> 02:33:01,000
Lyle looking in at Munson.

1840
02:33:01,000 --> 02:33:03,000
That's down to Wyne. Pumps and deals.

1841
02:33:03,000 --> 02:33:06,000
Foul back. A ball and two strikes.

1842
02:33:06,000 --> 02:33:12,000
Quickly in the National League. The Phillies are batting in the bottom half of the ninth inning with Houston leading 3-0.

1843
02:33:12,000 --> 02:33:17,000
Let's see. It's Atlanta 5, Montreal 4 in the bottom half of the seventh inning with, as Bill told you,

1844
02:33:17,000 --> 02:33:21,000
Henry Aaron hitting two home runs in that ballgame.

1845
02:33:21,000 --> 02:33:24,000
And the rest of the National League games later starts.

1846
02:33:24,000 --> 02:33:27,000
All right, Frank. Pennella waits. Lyle's ready.

1847
02:33:27,000 --> 02:33:29,000
The 1-2 pitch to Pennella.

1848
02:33:29,000 --> 02:33:33,000
Change up is popped up. Gene Michael, the shortstop ball.

1849
02:33:33,000 --> 02:33:36,000
Over there in the bag. He's under it. He's got it.

1850
02:33:36,000 --> 02:33:39,000
That was a new pitch from Lyle. It's like a change or a knuckleball.

1851
02:33:39,000 --> 02:33:43,000
This floated up there and Pennella got out front, got under it, and popped it up.

1852
02:33:43,000 --> 02:33:48,000
So there's one away here in the ninth and here's Hal McCrae, the designated hitter.

1853
02:33:48,000 --> 02:33:53,000
McCrae's 2 for 3 in the ballgame. Double the left, bounce the third, and single the right.

1854
02:33:53,000 --> 02:33:57,000
Yankees ahead 6-1 here in the top of the ninth. One out, nobody on.

1855
02:33:57,000 --> 02:34:01,000
It's Pacquiao looking for his first save of the year.

1856
02:34:01,000 --> 02:34:04,000
In relief of Steve Klein who started.

1857
02:34:04,000 --> 02:34:07,000
The breaking ball is a called strike.

1858
02:34:07,000 --> 02:34:11,000
They play McCrae straight away.

1859
02:34:11,000 --> 02:34:14,000
He's a right-handed hitter.

1860
02:34:14,000 --> 02:34:17,000
Lyle's ready. The 0-1 pitch.

1861
02:34:17,000 --> 02:34:26,000
Fastball inside 1-1.

1862
02:34:26,000 --> 02:34:29,000
1-1 count on McCrae.

1863
02:34:29,000 --> 02:34:32,000
And the pitch. Fastball dribbin' deep to left wheel.

1864
02:34:32,000 --> 02:34:36,000
White's there though. Now he comes in and he's got it.

1865
02:34:36,000 --> 02:34:39,000
Ball almost full wide. It was a line drive out there.

1866
02:34:39,000 --> 02:34:46,000
He started back and moved in quickly and got it just deep top high for the second out.

1867
02:34:46,000 --> 02:34:49,000
McCrae hits the ball hard all evening.

1868
02:34:49,000 --> 02:34:55,000
Got robbed there by White. Two outs now. Here's Paul Shaw, the third baseman.

1869
02:34:55,000 --> 02:35:02,000
Shaw 1 for 3 in the ballgame. He's popped the second, bounced the third, and single the right.

1870
02:35:02,000 --> 02:35:08,000
And that single right field along with it back in the seventh inning along with the sacrifice by Fran Healy got Lyle into the ballgame.

1871
02:35:08,000 --> 02:35:13,000
As Parky did his job with runners at second and third Potech cups, he got Potech to bounce out.

1872
02:35:13,000 --> 02:35:16,000
The runner's holding.

1873
02:35:16,000 --> 02:35:21,000
The ball's too high to Shaw.

1874
02:35:21,000 --> 02:35:26,000
Then he got Bavacqua pinch hitting for Floyd to bounce out and go out of the inning.

1875
02:35:26,000 --> 02:35:29,000
There's the strike, 1-1.

1876
02:35:29,000 --> 02:35:36,000
And since then, Lyle has retired at seven straight batters. So it looks like Lyle of last year.

1877
02:35:36,000 --> 02:35:38,000
1-1 pitch. 1-1 bounce at third.

1878
02:35:38,000 --> 02:35:43,000
Neto's got it. Long throw the first and the ballgame is over.

1879
02:35:43,000 --> 02:35:47,000
A great job of relief pitching by Parky Lyle.

1880
02:35:47,000 --> 02:35:52,000
And an excellent job of hitting by the New York Yankees.

1881
02:35:52,000 --> 02:35:56,000
For the Royals in the ninth inning, 3-up and 3-down.

1882
02:35:56,000 --> 02:36:03,000
Final score, the New York Yankees, 6. The Kansas City Royals, 1.

1883
02:36:03,000 --> 02:36:07,000
What do you think a disaster sounds like?

1884
02:36:07,000 --> 02:36:12,000
If you live in a city, maybe it's the sound of sirens racing to a fire.

1885
02:36:12,000 --> 02:36:16,000
But you don't have to live in a city to know the terrible sound of a fire.

1886
02:36:16,000 --> 02:36:20,000
You don't have to live in the country to know the sound of a tornado.

1887
02:36:20,000 --> 02:36:25,000
Floods can strike anywhere too, and sometimes with very little warning.

1888
02:36:25,000 --> 02:36:30,000
At Red Cross, all of these sounds and many more mean disaster.

1889
02:36:30,000 --> 02:36:35,000
The sound of disaster is people. People homeless.

1890
02:36:35,000 --> 02:36:39,000
All our clothing, furniture, everything is gone.

1891
02:36:39,000 --> 02:36:42,000
We're just thankful we got our kids out of there safe.

1892
02:36:42,000 --> 02:36:46,000
People who must start building their lives all over again.

1893
02:36:46,000 --> 02:36:49,000
I look at everything I have. I've been working for many years.

1894
02:36:49,000 --> 02:36:53,000
At Red Cross, we think people are the most important sound.

1895
02:36:53,000 --> 02:36:57,000
We're there to help when families need help most.

1896
02:36:57,000 --> 02:37:03,000
Because Americans care about their neighbors, Red Cross is there to help.

1897
02:37:03,000 --> 02:37:10,000
There are the totals on the ballgame.

1898
02:37:10,000 --> 02:37:13,000
For the New York Yankees, six runs on nine hits. They committed one error.

1899
02:37:13,000 --> 02:37:17,000
Kansas City one run, six hits, and they committed two errors.

1900
02:37:17,000 --> 02:37:21,000
Steve Klein, the winner, evens his record at two wins and two losses.

1901
02:37:21,000 --> 02:37:25,000
And Ken Wright, who started for the Kansas City Royals, was the loser.

1902
02:37:25,000 --> 02:37:28,000
His record is one win and one defeat.

1903
02:37:28,000 --> 02:37:33,000
The Kansas City Royals are the best.

1904
02:37:33,000 --> 02:37:38,000
They're the best.

1905
02:37:38,000 --> 02:37:43,000
They're the best.

1906
02:37:43,000 --> 02:37:58,000
They're the best.
