The New York Yankees faced the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park for a Tuesday-day game on May 30, 1961.
New York was looking to make it back to the World Series in 1961 under new manager Ralph Hauk.
Casey Stengel had left the team after the loss of the Pirates in the 1960 World Series,
the Yankees' 11th appearance in the Fall Classic in the past 14 years.
But the main attraction that was starting to brew in New York was the emergence of Mantle and Maris.
They hit 40 and 39 home runs respectively in 1960 and were coming into this game red hot,
with 11 home runs for Mantle and 9 for Maris.
The Red Sox were an average team in the early 1960s.
They were managed by Pinky Higgins, who had led the team throughout the late 1950s
before being moved to the front office.
Red Sox owner Tom Yockey swapped around five managers in two years with little success.
Higgins returned again as the full-time manager for the 1961 season.

A lovely day in Boston today.
And we're just about set to join Phil Rizzuto, who'll be sending us the starting lineups.
For those of you who did not remain up until the wee hours,
we remind you that the Red Sox last night,
Red Sox winning 2 to 1.
This afternoon Ralph Terry goes for the Yankees
and Gene Connolly for the Boston Red Sox.
The temperature today in Boston is about 65 degrees.
It's quite comparable to the weather we're enjoying in New York.
The bullpen brigade has just made its way out towards the bullpen in right field.
And so it's time now for us to join Bill Rizzuto with the starting lineups.
Now we have the starting lineups for you.
Ralph Hauke has really shaken up the Yankee lineup.
Matter of fact, driving home in the bus last night after the ball game,
Ralph was saying that he's not going to go with the old theory
that you need a lot of right-hand hitters here at Fenway Park
because whenever you put the right-hand hitters in,
they try to hit the ball over the fence.
And as a result, they're swinging at best.
So he stacked his batting lineup with left-handed power.
He has five left-hand hitters.
Leading off today, playing third base Cleeds Boyer,
an unusual spot for Boyer in the lineup.
Tony Kubek moved down in the second spot in the batting order.
Tony playing shortstop.
In right field will be Roger Maris batting third.
Mickey Mantle will be in center field hitting clean up.
In left field today, in batting fifth, Yogi Berra.
Bill Scaram will be at first base batting sixth.
During the catching and batting seventh, Johnny Blanchard.
Bobby Richardson will be at second base,
batting in the eighth position and doing the pitching
and batting ninth, Ralph Terry.
For the Boston Red Sox, leading off playing second base,
Chuck Schilling.
In center field and batting second will be Gary Geiger.
Vic Wertz, who got the winning hit last night,
driving in Jackie Jensen.
The Red Sox defeated the Yankees 2-1.
Wertz will be at first base batting third.
Jensen, who along with scoring the winning run,
had a homer last night,
will be in right field hitting the clean up spot
at third base batting fifth, Frank Malzone.
Jim Pagliarone will be the catcher,
batting in the sixth position.
Carol Hardy, batting seventh and playing left field.
The shortstop batting eighth will be Don Budden.
And doing the pitching and batting ninth, Gene Conley.
The umpires for today's game, and right now they are gathered
at home plate with Ralph Halk and Mike Higgins.
Calling balls and strikes, Bob Stewart.
At first base, Charlie Berry.
Umpiring at second, Joel Insalata.
And Frank Umott will be calling them at third base.
They break up the huddle at home plate.
And we'll be ready to go down in the field in just a little while.
As we told you, there were no other games
in the American League yesterday,
so the Yankees dropped a half game to Detroit, to Cleveland,
well to everybody except for the Red Sox
who picked up a full game on them.
But Baltimore, now tied with the Yankees,
they're just percentage points actually behind New York.
But the Yankees and the Orioles are both five games
behind the league leading Detroit Tigers.
Cleveland in second place three and a half games out.
And in the National League,
Cincinnati defeated the league leading Giants 5-1.
And Los Angeles behind Sandy Koufax
defeated the St. Louis Cardinals
and Larry Jackson last night 2-1.
So the Dodgers picked up a full game and they're now a game
and a half behind the Giants.
And the Red Sox are leading the Yankees
and the Pittsburgh follow.
And there go the Red Sox out in the field.
And walking out to the mound is Gene Conley.
Right now we'll have our national anthem.
Another good-sized crowd here today,
not quite as large as last night.
It's always a good baseball city, Boston.
Gene Conley has won two and lost three in the year.
No record against the Yankees.
It's Conley's eighth appearance of the year
and the seventh as a starter.
Remember he pitched against the Yankees last time out.
And against Ralph Terry,
Conley allowed just two runs in seven innings on seven hits.
He walked one and struck out three.
Both of Conley's wins have been shut out.
The last one was against Detroit on May the 18th.
It's a four-hitter.
Lee Boyer will be leading off for the Yankees today.
Frank Crissetti goes to the coaching box at third.
Wally Moses down the first.
Conley is six feet, eight inches tall.
The coach is a little bit more than a half a foot tall.
Conley is six feet, eight inches tall.
The tallest ball player in the major league, 227 pounds.
And he's played basketball for the Boston Celtics
since the 1958-59 season.
He's the only man to play two major professional sports
in the same city.
And as you know, basketball is a grueling game.
But it didn't take Conley long to get in shape for baseball.
He played about 10 days, went out and pitched the game and won it.
Conley's been in the big leagues since 1954.
Actually, he was up with the old Boston Braves in 52,
but only for four ball games.
Lee Boyer steps in at a batter's box.
Boyer batting 243.
Four doubles, one triple, two homers, and 12 RBI.
Big Gene Conley checks the sign from Pagliaroni.
Mitch De Boyer is a swing and a miss strike one at a high fast ball.
Pagliaroni is six feet, three inches tall,
so this must be the tallest batter in both leagues.
The one strike curve ball is low outside, one on one.
Here's the one-one delivery.
It's over the inside corner, strike two, score.
Outfield straight away on Boyer.
Pitch is a line drive base hit to left field.
In the hole between third and short, Carroll Hardy up with it.
Boyer opens the ball game with a line shot to left.
That brings up Tony Kubek.
Tony's batting 299, dipped under the 300 mark last night.
He has nine doubles, one triple, three homers, and 12 RBI.
Dick Wirtz holding the bag against Boyer.
Malzone is in at third.
Here's the stretch.
The pitch to Kubek is bunned foul down a third base line.
So Malzone must have had a hunch he was playing in on Kubek.
Still Tony trying to drop one down, bunned foul.
Starting to cloud up a little bit, though there's no threat of rain today.
Boyer with the short lead off first.
The stretch, the pitch is fouled out of play and back up third base, strike two.
Roger Maris on deck.
Tapping in two on Kubek, the stretch and the pitch is outside, ball one.
For some of you fans driving around or near the stadium,
the Yankee Stadium advance ticket window is open today until 5 o'clock
for your ticket shopping convenience.
One of Grand Central Terminal is not open today, though.
All right, Conley sets.
Pitch is a swing and a miss, strike three.
That's a fastball by Kubek.
Conley's first strikeout and here's Roger Maris.
Roger batting 231, two doubles, nine homers and 23 RBI.
Very enthusiastic fans up here in Fenway Park.
And adds something to the ball game.
Puts up the ball players and everybody around.
Boyer leads off first. Pitch to Maris is hit deep, but foul the right field, way back there.
And up on top of the roof and right on out of the ballpark.
Maris really got a hold of an inside fastball.
Drilled it deep over the roof, but foul.
A long strike.
Outfield shifting around towards right on Maris and deep.
Here's a stretch by Conley.
His pitch is a line drive, base hit, pass to second baseman, a right center.
Boyer around second, digging for third, and Maris holds it first with a single.
Second hit off Conley.
And all the noise because Mickey Maddow's coming up there.
Mickey batting 306, five doubles, one triple, 11 homers and 27 RBI.
Nick accounted for the lone Yankee run last night with his long home run into the Yankee bullpen in right field.
In field and double play depth with one out run as a first and third.
At the top of the first inning, no score in this ballgame.
On deck, Yogi Berra.
Stretch by Conley. Pitch to Maddow. Inside ball one.
Maris at first, Boyer at third.
Conley sets. Pitch is outside ball two. Two and nothing.
Conley ready again.
Maddow takes a strike on the outside corner. Two balls, one strike.
Conley throwing hard here in the top of the first inning.
Ready for the 2-1 delivery. A check to swing and it's just a little bit high, ball three.
Three and one.
Three balls, one strike on Mickey.
The pitch is swung and it missed strike two and Mickey let go at bat with one hand and swings that right arm up in the air.
He has his wrist heavily taped and is also having a little trouble with his right shoulder.
Not counting the legs.
Full count on Maddow with one away. Let's see if Maris will be going.
Boyer is at third. Maris at first.
Here's the stretch. There goes Maris. It's strike three. He dropped the ball.
No wait, he foul tipped it.
He must have just gotten a little piece of that ball and Pagliaroni dropped it.
Catch a pick up some dirt and throws it down. Maris was going with the pitch.
I wondered why Pagliaroni didn't bounce on the ball and throw it a second but Maddow just nicked it.
So he's got a life.
Still three and two on Mickey. Here's the stretch.
There goes Maris. There's a drive through deep right field way back there.
The ball is in the ball pen for home run for Maddow.
And there's a difference. They say baseball is a game of inches.
And Pagliaroni held on to that foul tipped. Maddow would have been out of there.
He got a life and hit the free run homer into the Yankee bullpen.
So Maddow comes up with his 12th home run of the year and he now has 30 runs batted in.
The Yankees lead three to nothing and here's Yogi Berra batting three oh nine.
Four doubles, five homers and 18 runs batted in.
This is Yogi's foul tipped back strike one.
Funny about Mickey, he looked there swinging up two pitches and missing even the foul tipped and then he hits one nine miles.
Yogi hits one to right center field.
Going back is Jensen in the center fielder and the center fielder, Geiger makes a one handed catch against the Red Sox bullpen wall.
It didn't look like that ball was going to travel that far but Geiger at the last second leap caught it one handed and then just brushed lightly against the wall in front of the Red Sox bullpen.
So it's two outs.
And here's Bill Scarron.
He's batting two eighty two seven doubles one triple six homers and twenty five runs batted in.
Three nothing the Yankees lead top of the first.
Hanley Fitch is outside ball one.
Fastball is low ball two.
Two nothing Fitch is high ball three three and nothing.
Strike call three and one the count on Scarron on deck is Johnny Blanchard.
Here's the wind up by Connelly.
Fitch is a swing in the line drive.
They hit two left center field and Scarron's on with a solid single as the Yankees have gotten to Connelly here in the first inning.
Hit number four off Connelly and it'll bring up Johnny Blanchard.
Blanchard batting two twenty two one double three homers and seven runs batted in.
Two outs.
That's why Connelly hits the Blanchard is a curve outside ball one.
Blanchard pops one to short left center field the shortstop button moving back and makes the catch with his back to the infield.
So for the Yankees in the top of the first inning three runs on four base hits no Red Sox errors.
One man left the score at the end of one half inning the Yankees three and the Red Sox coming to bat.
For pleasure driving that is a pleasure.
You need something more than a freshly washed car on a bright sunny day.
For one thing you need to be sure that your carburetor is clean to do its job at peak efficiency.
And that's why more and more motorists from New England to Florida have started to use Atlantic Imperial gasoline regularly.
This quality gasoline cleans your carburetor as you drive and keeps it clean.
You see Atlantic Imperial removes the harmful deposits of dirt that get past your engines air cleaner and build up on the lower walls of your carburetor.
These deposits can cause rough idling stalling and gasoline waste.
But once you've used Atlantic Imperial for a while you'll feel the difference.
And as long as you use it Atlantic Imperial will keep new deposits from forming in your carburetor.
See your Atlantic dealer soon.
Use Atlantic Imperial the gasoline that cleans your carburetor as you drive and keeps it clean.
Ralph Terry is out on the mound for the New York Yankees. Terry has won two and lost none this year and he's one and all against the Red Sox.
Lifetime against Boston 10 wins and five defeats.
This is Terry's ninth appearance of the year and his eighth is a starter.
The Yankees have won five of the games that Terry has started.
Chuck Schilling batting 233 stepping in at about his box leading off to the Red Sox has seven doubles one homer and 17 runs batted in.
Yankees three and the Red Sox nothing. This is the first inning.
Terry first pitch is right over strike one call.
Schilling bats him right handed.
Curve is low ball one one one.
Terry is six three and one hundred ninety pound. He looks small compared to that Conley out on the mound.
One one pitch curve ball hit on the ground foul outside of third Billy Herman knocks it down.
Couldn't hold on with the third base coach for the Red Sox Rudy York is coaching over at first.
Couple of pretty good hitters in their day.
Herman one of the best hit and run men ever in baseball in Europe one of the big powerhead.
Curve is outside low ball two two and two.
Terry pitching with factically and no wind up delivery.
The two true pitch hit in front of the plate and bounces back to the screen ball three three and two.
Field and beautiful condition here at Fenway Park.
Ready now for the payoff pitch to Schilling.
He swings and lines it foul down the left field line back into the seat.
Holds it three and two.
Yogi bears in left field for the Yankees defensively.
The pitch is a ground ball in the hole.
Richardson was left his upper that is throw is in time on a beautiful play by Richardson and Scar.
Bobby went back on the edge of the outfield grass picked it up had a throw off balance and threw it in the dirt and scarring backhanded scooped it out of the dirt.
Just did nip Chuck Schilling.
Richardson has more than made up in his feeling and defensive play and his low average shows as far as batting goes.
Here's Gary Geiger batting to 13 for doubles a triple for homers and eight runs batted in.
He's a man hitting center fielder.
The curve is inside ball one a guy on deck that works three nothing the Yankees are leading last half of the first inning.
The one nothing pitch is popped in the air.
Boy are the third baseman moving back under it.
He's in fair territory and makes the catch for the second out.
He's a man who's in the way and here's Rick word.
We're spanning to sixty seven five doubles three homers and twelve runs batted in.
Hit it with an open stand big powerful man takes a pitch high ball one.
Fastball high outside ball to Johnny Blanchard rifles the ball back to Terry.
The ball goes to the rosin bag on deck is Jackie Jensen.
The outfield deep metal deep and shading in right center a little bit for it.
Fastball is lined up left center field Yogi going back and it's over his head bouncing off the wall.
We're around first digging for second and he'll be in with a stand up double.
So Rick word with mantle playing in right center at a solid line giant left and a one half off the wall and comes up with a sixth double of the year.
Jackie Jensen and batting to ten has three doubles for homers and twelve runs batted in.
Jackie has two of his four homers against the Yankees and both of them are quite a four.
They're out.
Harry said that's the Jensen is high ball one.
They have painted the walls olive green this year instead of the light green and it really is pretty.
The left field wall runs from the left field far line almost straight across the center field.
One reason why right hand hitters love to hit in this spot curve is over strike one one on one on deck Frank Malzone
Blanchard out to the mount and talk with Terry Jensen steps back to have a little chat with Bob Stewart the plate on fire.
Rick works leading off second base Harry stretches fastball is low ball to two more.
He's played a red sox again tomorrow night and then on Thursday afternoon.
We're going out to Chicago for three game series Friday night Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon.
Harry said touches in their strike to two and two two balls two strikes and two out.
Harry leans over and checks the sign from Blanchard works with a good size leadoff second and Jensen asked for time and steps out of the box.
Harry taking a little too long getting the sign.
I not very fit very far back out of play.
Jensen doing a lot of work around that batter's box two balls two strikes on Jen.
Very ready curve low and it's a full count three and two Blanchard having a little trouble picking up the ball or worse does not advance when the crowd gets on Johnny.
Three balls two strikes two off the Yankees three the Red Sox nothing bottom of the first inning.
Now we're ready for the payoff pitch.
Here's the stretch.
It is like three.
Jackie was curved on a three to pitch and caught looking for the Red Sox in the bottom of the first no run one hit no Yankee errors one man left the score at the end of one full inning.
The Yankees three and the Red Sox nothing and we pause for station identification. You are in tune with quality modern radio 1460 on your dial. This is W.O.K.O. Albany New York W.O.K.O. time 26 and a half minutes past two.
On the scoreboard in the American League Los Angeles at Washington it's 1 1 at the end of two Garver against Hobart early April home in the second with nobody on for L.A. Minnesota Cleveland for a pair in the first game at the end of three.
Minnesota to the Indians nothing Pasquale against Hawkins Baltimore that Chicago for two the first game just getting underway at Barbara against your Kansas City at Detroit and a doubleheader Archer against Mosse in the first game in the National League Cincinnati at San Francisco playing two games at the end of two and a half innings.
It's Cincinnati three the Giants nothing Maloney for Cincinnati Jones started Fisher in the third pension home in the first with nobody on and Maloney helping his own cause in the third with a man on St. Louis is at Los Angeles for a single game Milwaukee at Philadelphia for a pair in the first game it's nothing nothing at the end of two and a half Buell against Ferris Chicago at Pittsburgh for two and at the end of five innings all tied up one one Ellsworth against myself Andre Rogers home in the fourth for the Cubs with nobody on.
Bobby Richardson leads off the Yankees here in the top of the second Bobby batting to 0 5 as one triple and 10 RBI Conley's pitch to Richardson inside ball one Bobby by the way has resigned as Yankee player representative and he's going to be replaced by our
is alternate who'll serve until the players hold their election Bobby felt that the position was too time consuming with his family up there as a drive to deep right center field and going over and makes the running catch and deep right center that ball just seemed to hang up there it was in the hole and went a long way from right field but he caught it one away.
brings up Ralph Terry Terry batting three thirty three five to fifteen one double one RBI.
Terry batting three thirty three five to fifteen one double one RBI.
Nobody on.
That's the Terry is in there strike one call.
Foul back in the seats and out of place like to
nothing into one Terry is kindly said it's a ground ball to the shortstop button and up with it throw the Vick words in time to get Ralph it's two way.
It'll bring up Cleve Boyer who opened the ballgame with a single left field and score along with Maris on mantle's 12th home of the year in the first inning.
Boyer taking plenty of time giving Terry a little more time to get into the bench and rest a little before you have to get back out on the mound to pitch.
You are nobody on.
Conley's pitch the boy is in there strike one call Yankees last night added another bonus player to their minor league system.
He's a left hand hitting 16 year old catcher.
Boy it takes a pitch low one on one.
18 years old I said 16 but he's 18 years old.
The one one pitch low outside ball to two months.
The pitch is a ground ball pass the pitcher to shortstop near second up with a throw to first Justin time to get boy.
That was a fine play by Don Button on a ball that was hit off the end of the bat.
And which finally misjudged the speed and button had to come up fast with it for the Yankees in the top of the second nothing across the score at the end of an inning and a half New York three and the Red Sox nothing.
You know something new has been added to the do it yourself list.
Yes now you can claim the carburetor of your car remove dirt in the vital throttle plate area without even raising the hood.
How just use Atlantic Imperial regularly you see dirt deposits build up on the lower walls of most carburetors in time.
These deposits can affect the action of the throttle plate and cause it to feed the wrong mixture of air and gasoline to your engine.
Now this results in rough idling frequent stalling and actual gasoline waste.
But after a few thousand miles of driving with Atlantic Imperial gasoline this carburetor dirt will be gone washed harmlessly away.
And for as long as you use Atlantic Imperial you need not worry about new deposits forming.
That's why more and more people these days are using Atlantic Imperial.
It's the quality gasoline that cleans your carburetor as you drive and keeps it clean.
Frank Malzone leads off with the Red Sox in the bottom of the second.
Frank just can't seem to get going.
Here's a fellow has a batting average close to 300 lifetime wise that is in the American League.
And right now he's batting 141 has one double two homers and six RBI.
He's too good a ball player to be down there.
Three nothing the Yankees lead. Terry pitched to Malzone as low ball one.
Next pitch is hit on the ground of the shortstop.
Kubek on a big hop is throw to Scarron in time to get Malzone.
That's one away.
Brings up Jim Pagliarone the catcher batting 261.
Big Jim is three doubles three homers and ten runs batted in.
Pagliarone credits his catching ability right now to the hard work of Mickey Owen when he was with the Red Sox.
Mickey worked with him every day every day.
Pitch to the right hand hitting catcher is in there strike one called.
Bill Dickey helped Yogi Barrow quite a bit when Yogi first came to the Yankees.
When you get that good coaching and training it pays off.
Curve inside one on one.
One out nobody on Yankees leading three nothing bottom of the second.
Pitch is outside ball two.
Man I can't wait for that hot weather to get here.
Around August we'll probably be looking for some cool weather but this weather has been ridiculous.
The pitch is low ball three three and one.
Now the clouds are getting blacker out there.
The wind is getting colder.
Three and one on Jim Pagliarone.
Harry's pitch is in there strike two called three and two.
Full count.
The payoff pitch.
Drag deep to left field that ball is going to be off the wall.
Yogi plays it off the wall on one hop and Pagliarone is held to a long single.
As Barrow played that wall out I said Williams out there.
Oh splendid splendid play him off a solid line drive.
That hit the wall Yogi caught it on one hop and had the ball in the second base just as a big catch around it first.
A line single or left.
When I was a kid I used to hear games broadcasts from Fenway Park and they'd say a ball hit the wall and he's held to a single I couldn't believe it until I came up here to play.
Cal Hardy the left field of the batter hitting two twenty four four doubles a triple and five runs about it in.
That's the heart is a curve in there strike one called.
On deck is done but in the shortstop.
Garron holding first against the Red Sox catcher.
Here's a stretch by right ball brought it down.
It's a good one that's going to be a base hit.
Boy it doesn't even make a play.
Beautiful by Cal Hardy.
That is one of the best if not the best.
But I've seen all year by a right handed batter.
He's pulled everybody laid it down and boy it didn't even make it I just picked it up caught him flat footed and that's hit number three off Terry and now the tying runners at the plate.
Don button the shortstop batting two forty five six doubles and four runs battered in one way.
Yankee's leading three nothing.
That's the button like that ball right down the pipe.
Party at first.
Thank you.
Only a second.
That's by Terry.
When you get those curveballs in the dirt.
And I get your body and of course you have a lot of gear on a protector the chest protector machine guards in the math.
A ballplay is calling the tools of ignorance jokingly because if you're a good catcher you can get to the big leagues faster than any other position.
That's inside ball to two and one.
Gene Conley due to be the next batter is a pretty good hitting pitcher.
First and second Harry said to one pitch curve high ball three three and one.
Harry changes the rosin bag and moves that rosin bag around like it's diamonds or something.
But to the very gently move it from the right side of the rubber to the left side.
Three balls one strike and one out.
Runners at first and second.
That is a curve in their strike two and it's a full count. So Terry Currimont a three one pitch.
Once again we have a full count on the Red Sox batter.
Is Terry stretch fastball foul back up on the roof out of play.
Ralph try to sneak the fast one by him hoping that button was looking for the curve.
Not a good idea to guess with two strikes on it because if you're looking for the curve and they throw the fastball you can't get around.
And Terry ready for the three to pick fastball popped in the air.
The infield fly rule is called button is automatically out.
Richardson makes the catch at second base and it's two away.
Here comes Gene Conley.
Only has one base hit this year that one against the Yankees and it was a double.
He is driven in one run.
Two out two on Yankees lead three nothing in the bottom of the second.
A plane flying around above us with a big banner in back of it advertising WEI which is a CBS affiliate up here in Boston.
I think Gene Conley steps into the batter's box. The bat looks like a toothpick in his hands. He's so big.
Terry said that's the Conley is fouled back on the screen and out of play.
How hard he at first Jim Tagliaroni is at second with two outs.
Terry ready.
Curve is fouled off the left of the plate strike two.
Nothing until on the big right hand hitting pitcher for the Red Sox. Gene Conley.
Terry taking a lot of time getting the signal.
Now he's ready. Here's a stretch. It is bad that I think if it didn't hit his bat it would have hit Conley. It was in on him would have hit him right on the chest and he swung that bat self defense.
A fastball coming right in towards his chest.
He just got his bat out there and deflected it off into the stands for the right of the plate.
Terry ready. Ground ball hits a short. Kubek coming in up with it. He's throw to first base in time to get Conley and he can move down that line for a big color.
The Yankees three and the Red Sox nothing.
Now that we're approaching the boating and lawn mowing season remember Atlantic outboard motor oil keeps your engine running clean and smooth views Atlantic outboard motor oil.
Quick look at the scoreboard Washington one Los Angeles one at the end of two and a half. Minnesota to Cleveland nothing at the end of four and a half.
Baltimore Chicago hasn't started Kansas City scored one on the top of the first playing Detroit a doubleheader.
Cincinnati leads San Francisco. Four to nothing at the end of three and a half innings.
St. Louis that L.A. has not started.
Milwaukee and Philadelphia nothing nothing at the end of four and Chicago at Pittsburgh one one at the end of six innings.
Don't forget fans the Yankee Stadium advanced ticket office is open today until five p.m. and tickets for all future Yankee games will be available.
The Grand Central ticket office will not be open today.
After this week's road trip to Boston and Chicago the Yankees return to the stadium for 11 games on eight dates early in June.
The big week opens the season first twine I doubleheader on Monday June the fifth with the slugging Minnesota Twins featuring Armand Killibrew Bob Allison Jim Lemon and Earl Batty.
And of course the pitch is Camilo Pasquale and Pedro Ramos.
The twins will be at the stadium for the twine nighter on Monday the fifth for a night game on Tuesday June the sixth and an afternoon contest on Wednesday the seventh.
The twine nighter starts at six p.m. so make your plans now to attend a perfect date night as the school year draws to a close.
Why does that always make kids happy when the school year draws to a close.
You know I guess I was always happy when it was over.
I had Tony Kubek who struck out in the first inning leading off against Gene Conley here in the top of the third.
Pitch to Kubek is fouled back out of play one strike on Tony one strike pitch is hit high in the air to right field Jackie Jensen is moving back under it and is there to take the catch in front of the Yankee both and one away.
Here's Roger Maris who lined the single right center field in the first inning and on deck Mickey Maddow.
That's the Maris is a ground foul outside of first like one.
The wind up by Conley and the pitch is now he checked the swing Bob Stewart started to put the right hand up and draw it back quickly.
Maris started a swing held up one on one on Rod Conley curve is hit deep to right field Jensen going back way back and the ball is in the seat for a home run for Roger Maris and that was a line drive.
He's been to the right field seat which gives the Yankees now a four to nothing lead and for Maris is 10th home run of the year and a 24th run batted in brings up Mickey Mantle hit a three run home in the first inning.
That's Mickey's 12th of the year.
Over Mickey's head and back to the screen ball one.
Next got a grin on his face.
That's all was mighty close.
Little extra on that fastball.
It's the mantle outside ball to
have some action in the Red Sox bullpen.
Dave Hillman, the right hander is up.
That'll take the curve over strike one two balls one strike.
Yankee born the Red Sox nothing.
Top of the third.
On the concrete as the fans didn't want any part of that high foul.
Two and two on metal.
I'm least pitches foul set off the chest protector of the catcher Bagley running.
Remember the first time that was up to strike on a man just did a pitch and Bagley only had in his glove and dropped it on the next pitch.
Mantle hit a home.
Now the payoff pitch to Mickey.
He's like three.
He was a bad pitch and Mickey trying to check his swing couldn't do it.
The curve actually hit in the dirt.
Second strikeout for Connelly at two away and his Yogi Barrow who slides deep to right center field in the first inning.
Nobody on.
Connelly's that the Yogi is in there strike one call.
I've hit on the ground to the second base and Schilling is up with it goes to worse and time for the out.
Yankees pick up another run thanks to the homer by Maris one run on one hit.
No red sox there is nobody left the score at the end of two and a half innings the Yankees poor and the Red Sox nothing.

In the bottom of the third inning it'll be the top of the Red Sox batting order Schilling Geiger and Wirtz to face her out there.
Schilling bounce the second base in the first inning.
Bobby Richardson making a fine play along with a nice scoop up of a low throw by Skaran.
Yankee defense in the infield has been tremendous this year.
Even though the pitching has not been up to par the double plays and the fine feeling of the infielders helped the Yankees tremendously Schilling swings and misses a curve strike one.
Schilling from Brooklyn New York.
The foul chip off the umpire just protect and the ball bounces all the way down to first base picked up by Rudy York.
Nothing into on Schilling.
Here's the two strike pitch curve hit on the ground a third foul.
Boy is charging the ball had the ball go under his glove and he kicked it with his foot to the shortstop Kubek but it was foul.
Nothing into on Schilling.
Short wind up curve foul down the first base line.
Ralph not wasting any pitches on Schilling.
Nothing into count.
Ball and back of his head that time ball one Schilling hit the dirt.
Now the one ball two strike pitch curve is high ball to two and two.
Maris playing very shallow in right field.
It's a tough right field to play here at Fenway it's a lot like Yankee Stadium's left field including the sun.
The two to pitch a lot of playing back of first.
Oh man they were battling for that ball and the kid went right over the railing.
Nobody gets hurt.
Pitch is high ball three and it's another full count.
Three and two on Schilling.
Yankees four Red Sox nothing bottom of the third.
Here's the payoff that foul hit back.
Again the three to say he lost some ball for that's the first man Terry has walked.
But he's had three to count on about six hitters.
First walk given up by either pitcher and it brings up Gary Geiger who popped up to boyer at third base in the first inning.
Karen holds the bag again feeling.
Mr. Geiger is in there strike one call.
I go is enjoying his best year in the big leagues last year if you remember.
He came up with a collapsed lung and it was feared his baseball career was ended but he had snapped back out of fine spring training but he's a little slow and getting off him in the game batting to 13 as for home is a
pitch to Geiger is popped to left field.
Yogi coming over and in and he can't get it.
It's a fair ball and going to third is going to second is Geiger.
Over left center field for Geiger and he had a little twisting fly down the left field line.
It looked like it was going to curve foul.
Yogi couldn't get to it either.
Good to back it hit on the dirt part of the field and then kicked against the wall running along the left field foul line.
It's a double for Geiger hit number four off Terry and now there are runners at second and third with nobody out in the bat of it worse worse rips a double a left center field in the first inning.
Let's say hitting first base pitch to where it's curveball is high ball one wind up by Terry pitches I'll sit back strike one one of one.
Bill Stafford is getting up in the Yankee bullpen right hander Bill Stafford loosening up one ball one strike on worth Geiger leads off second killing off third pitches high ball to two and one.
That was Geiger's fifth double of the year by the way.
It is right off the end of his back on deck is Jackie Jensen.
Here's the wind up pitches high ball three almost a wild pitch at length and had a lunge to his left and go high for it.
Just got in the webbing of his glove one handed three and one on Ralph rather on the work as Ralph Terry suddenly getting a little wild here in the bottom of the third inning.
Now Ralph asked for a new baseball.
Nobody out.
Here's a 3 1 pitch to work all back on the.
Terry checking the time from Blanchard runners lead off second and third ready for the payoff pitch to the inside ball for the bases are loaded.
Second walk given up by Terry is worth his down the first and his Jackie Jensen up with three men on and nobody out the Yankees leading four to nothing.
Jensen was called out on strike in the first inning went on a three to pitch.
He took a curve ball a ball strike three on deck as Frank Malzah.
All right the bases full of red sox to wind up by Terry the pitch the Jensen is low outside for one.
No staff and heat nothing to hurry out there.
Now outstanding on the step for the Yankee dugout.
Curve is high ball to do enough to be working a little faster whenever he gets in a jam he seems to work faster now Blanchard runs out to the mound he'll try and slow him down a little bit.
Terry seems to lose his rhythm when he works that works at first Geiger at second shilling at third with nobody on the bottom of the third the Yankees leading by four runs for nothing.
Two balls no strikes on Jackie Jensen.
Here's the windup.
That's just low outside almost a wild pitch backhanded by Blanchard at the three nothing count.
Terry has suddenly lost home plate here in the bottom of the third.
The three nothing pitch right for three and one.
Jensen digging into the plate.
Harry takes off one time I always enter the wind up.
The pitch is found on the right field line going out of play back up on the roof as a matter of fact.
And again a full count on Jensen Jackie wants to rise and beg from Frank Malzone was on deck.
Jensen who is a great athlete in college.
He's had a fine career in the American League.
Three and two bases loaded nobody out.
Here's a payoff.
He hit the deep.
And here comes Ralph House.
Jackie Jensen ripped the double off the left field wall driving into run.
That ball was not quite high enough to have been a home run he really tagged it.
And Yogi went back and this time he didn't play the ball off the wall it came back over his head.
Two runs scored worse went to third Jensen is his second.
And it's now a four to two ballgame in favor of the Yankees but there's nobody out.
Here in the bottom of the third and Ralph House has signals for Bill Stafford to come in.
Now while staff is taking the long walk will pause for station identification.
This is W.O.K.O. all but a good sound broadcasting for 1961 reminding you drivers patience pays especially at curves hills and intersections.
Drive carefully today and every day.
So that's all for Ralph Terry.
Oh at pitch two scoreless innings even though he was in trouble in both innings.
And here in the third didn't get anybody out he walked to gave up two doubles two runs of scored and Terry is out of the ballgame.
Ralph cannot be the losing pitcher and that's the kind of year it's been for Terry.
He has been knocked out of quite a few ballgames but fortunately for Ralph and the Yankees the Yankees have been able to come back tie him up and go on to win most of them.
Bill Stafford coming on had an excellent relief appearance the last time he pitched for the Yankees he's making his 11th appearance of the year.
Stafford has one run and lost two.
The last time out he pitched three and two thirds innings gave up one unearned run.
Stafford will be pitching a Frank Malzone Jim Pagliarone and Carol Hardy with Jensen at second and Wirtz at third.
Nobody out in the bottom of the third and the Yankees leading four to two.
All the Yankee runs came as a result of home as a three run homer by Mantle in the first inning and a solo homer by Marison the third.
Jensen starting to pick up now.
You remember Jensen had a slow start and then suddenly decided he was going to quit baseball didn't want to be the 25th man on the club.
You can appreciate Jackie's feeling.
We told you he was a great athlete in college and a great athlete in professional baseball and was a big gun for the Red Sox when he decided to retire for a year.
That was all last season.
He came back and thought that his timing had left him and was ready to quit went home to talk with his lovely wife.
Zoan Olsen who was an Olympic diving champion for the Yankees and then Jensen decided to return and now he's picking up and hitting like the Jensen of all at least against the Yankees.
He had a good series against New York and New York and now up here in Boston.
He had two hits last night including a homer and he's had a double here today with the bases loaded driving in two runs.
Frank Malzone who bounced the short in the second inning the batter the infield back.
They're giving a run that the ball hit on the ground.
They're going to play for the batter.
Unless it's it's a the pitcher of course.
I built staff at all in the mound in place of Ralph Terry.
Here's the wind up.
That's the male zone is high ball one.
Red Sox have an exciting young team.
Of course without Williams they don't look the same but no team would without Williams.
But they've got a future.
Good young ballplay.
Now zone a curve over strike one one on one as staff at game side off.
Here's the wind up by staff.
Curve outside ball to do one.
The staff that came over hand that time he can mix up his types of deliveries and speed on the ball.
Sun shining brightly now and you notice the right side of the Yankee infield and Maris shading their eyes looking up at the sun flipping their glasses down in case.
It's the mouse on inside ball three three and one.
Now John looks down at the third base coach Billy Herman.
Three one count on Frank.
The pitch is hit in the air to right field not too deep Maris is under it worth his tagging Maris makes the catch it comes right here comes Maris throw and he slides and he's in there and going to third is Jackie Jensen.
On the sacrifice fly even though Maris made a good throw worse slides across safely and RBI from our zone Jensen tagging up once the third.
So it's now a four to three ballgame.
The tying run is the third base with one out in the batter is Jim Pagliarone who lined a single off the left field wall.
Now the infield is in half way not all the way in but halfway.
They've still got a shot at Jensen at the plate of a ground ball is hit one way for three ballgame.
That's it. Pitch the Pagliarone in their strike one call.
It's just low ball one one one on deck is Carol Hardy.
Here's staff at another wind up curve low outside ball to come up for the Yankee starting pictures pictures with the exception of why before I have not had very good luck this year.
Just have not been pitching well.
Here's a two one pitch curve over strike to Pagliarone started to swing held up the ball broke over the plate to and to one away.
Jensen at third.
That's it. Ready. Side on curve low outside of the full count that the trip to the little delivered that bit look back at the mound. You'll do a little kicking out there now.
Especially with Conley out there he can really foul up a pitching mound with that big stride he takes.
Full count on Jim Pagliarone Jensen leading off third is the wind up by staff. Pitches hit on the ground a short go back is up with a chance and holds it there at the throw to first in time and the infield playing halfway.
Jensen didn't have a chance. So it's two away and here's Don Budden rather Carol Hardy who beat out a bunch single in the second inning.
Jensen is on deck. That was a big out for Bill Stafford and the Yankees. Two out now on the tying run of third.
Well just as staff it was ready to pitch button rather Carol Hardy got something in his eyes at the back played on by a Bob Stewart giving him a hand.
This is a ground ball hit down a fair baseline boy and he lets it roll and it goes.
There was a play that boy but not have thrown Hardy out on as he hit a high chopper off the home plate.
It rolled two thirds of the way right on the far line and at the last second kick ball and boy a bounce down quickly make sure it stayed.
Jensen would have scored easily and the ball game would have been tied up.
So it goes as a strike for Hardy.
The pitch is a curve pop in the short left field Kovac back going back and makes the catch and short left field ball almost dropped in there for a Texas League single.
So the Red Sox bounce back here in the bottom of the third with three runs on two base hits and a sacrifice fly no Yankee errors and one man left and the score now at the end of three full innings.
The Yankees four runs five hits no errors. The Red Sox three runs five hits and no error.
We're telling you about the Minnesota series which will be a twine nighter on June the fifth Monday night a night game Tuesday the sixth and afternoon game on Wednesday the seventh and after the Minnesota series.
We'll have another important why night doubleheader on Thursday June the eighth at six p.m. against the Kansas City A's.

The Angels feature the slugging of Leon Wagner L.A. wrote Texas and others and the brilliant pitching of Ken McBride.
And of course our old buddy Ryan Duren will be pitching against the Yankees in relief.
So stay loose and come on out for that ballgame and that's serious.
Quickly on the scoreboard in the American League Washington three Los Angeles one at the end of four Minnesota three Cleveland nothing at the end of six Baltimore Chicago nothing nothing at the end of one and Kansas City one Detroit nothing at the end of two.
The National League Cincinnati for the Giants nothing at the end of five Milwaukee nothing the Phillies nothing at the end of four at the end of six is the Cubs won the Pirates one St. Louis is at Los Angeles tonight.
Bill Skaren leads off for the Yankees here in the top of the fourth and Gene Connolly who was on the verge of being taken out when the Red Sox had somebody warming up after Marissa's Homer in the third inning is still out there on the mound Yankees lead four to three.
Skaren single a center field in the first inning.
That's the most is high ball one.
On deck Johnny Blanchard.
Skaren takes the pitch I bought to do nothing.
Don't have it did some fine relief touching that any.
He knew it was one of them second and third and nobody out.
He scored one run on a sacrifice fly but he got back Lear only in the hearty.
The two nothing says is it deep the left field that one is way out of here.
Back up on the screen another home run for the Yankees and all the Yankee runs that come as a result of all the damage action in the Red Sox bullpen again.
Bill Skaren getting a second hit of the ballgame and his seventh home of the year is 26 run batted in the Yankees now lead five to three.
Brings up Johnny Blanchard.
Dave Hillman the right hander is up in the Red Sox bullpen once again.
Finally pitch the Blanchard is high ball one.
You always notice the next batter up after fellow has hit a home run he's a little loose.
Either take the pitcher is stepping in the bucket.
Those pitches get mad when you hit a home run they throw a little close to the next batter.
There's a swing and a ground ball foul outside of first picked up by Vic works one on one on Blanchard.
Johnny pops to the shortstop in the first inning.
So the Yankees have had three homers in this game a three run homer by mantle in the first solo homers by Maris and the third and Skaren here leading off the top of the fourth.
Conley ready is curved low outside ball two to a mile.
As a ground ball hit the second base Schilling coming in up with it on the big hop let's the words for the out that's one away.
One out and Bobby Richardson who's flying to deep right center field in the second inning the better.
One out nobody on.
Mr. Richardson is low ball one.
Nothing such as a ground ball hit the third foul now don't have backhanded it and was ready to throw one third base on fire.
Frank you might yell foul ball so now don't save the throw.
Which is an across first base with close one on one on Bobby.
Richardson takes the curve low ball to two and one.
Which is high ball three three and one the count Bill Stafford due to be the next batter.
Three one pitch is lying at center field coming in fast is Geiger and he makes the catch and boy Richardson is it two on the nose.
And hasn't been able to find that hole for the base hit solid line drive ball just took off instead of thinking so it's two way.
And here's Bill Stafford who's been up three times without a base hit this year.
Five three the Yankees lead we're in the top of the fourth inning.
Terry who started for the Yankees can neither be the winning nor losing pitcher in this ballgame.
The pitch to Stafford is a strike a starting pitcher must go at least five innings to be able to get credit for the win in unless of course in case of an injury.
There's a foul out of place like to.
But this game is staffers to win or lose and Jane Connolly was out on the line now for the Red Sox.
Strike on staffer.
Curve is over strike three call.
There's strikeout for Connolly and 40 Yankees in the top of the fourth one run on one hit the home of by scarring no Red Sox errors and nobody left in the score at the end of three and a half innings New York five and Boston three.

For the Red Sox in the bottom of the fourth inning Don Budden will lead off. Red Sox shortstop Budden popped out to second base in the second inning.
Bill Stafford out on the mound.
Ralph Terry went just two innings didn't get anybody out in the third.
Pitched to Budden inside ball one.
Terry allowed five hits he walked to struck out one and allowed three runs.
Stafford's next pitch is pop foul going out of play and back up third.
Bill Stafford goes back to the rosin bag.
Here's his wind up. His pitch is a ground ball to the shortstop Kubek up on a big hop throw to Skaren in time that's one away.
But Conley is going to bat for himself. Conley bounced the short in the second inning.
There's a long drink of water. Gene Conley coming to the plate.
The home run ball has hurt him today. The Yankees have three of them.
Stafford's curve is a strike on the outside corner.
One strike delivery another curve this one's outside one on one.
Chuck Schilling on deck. Fastball in there strike two one ball two strikes.
Sidearm curve almost hit Conley dances back out of the way two and two.
Now the two two pitch a foul that hit the plate and kicked up and hit Conley's left leg.
Here's a two two pitch curve inside ball three three and two.
Stafford pitching a little too carefully to Conley had a full count on him.
Here's the payoff pitch strike three hold the phone he foul tipped it.
Conley started to run Blanchard had in his glove it popped up in the air trying to grab it bare handed just missed the ball.
And Conley's got a life.
Again the three two delivery I fly to short left center Yogi moving over to his left and Nettle and Nettle makes the catch.
Two way here's Chuck Schilling bounce the second on the first inning.
Started the Red Sox rally in the third with a walk.
Schilling had a chance to sign with the Giants but didn't want to go out to the coast wanted to stay in the East.
So he signed with the Red Sox the pitch to Schilling is low ball one.
Actually Chuck worked out with the Yankees at Yankee Stadium not this year of course.
They had a look at him.
One nothing pitches line foul look out into the box seats and back of third base.
Well that's a dangerous place to sit.
We told you before the fans are closer to action on the ball field here than any other part.
And that third base section just out towards the foul line.
Those line fouls and somebody got hit on the arm and they'll take them to the first aid station.
Curve is low ball two two and one.
Foul back out of play. Two and two on Schilling.
Two curve ball is low ball three full count.
A lot of full counts in this ball game and yet only two base on balls those given up by Ralph Terry.
Conley has not walked anybody yet.
The payoff pitch a fly ball to right field Roger Maritz flips the glasses down under it and holds it in for the third out.
Throw the Red Sox down in order in the bottom of the fourth nothing across and the score at the end of four full innings.
The Yankees five run six hits no errors the Red Sox three runs five hits and nowhere.

Boyer takes the fastball ball one.
Connolly's next pitch is lined past Malzone in the left field.
Boyer second hit as Carol Hardy fires the ball into the infield.
And that's the seventh base hit off Connolly and once again the Red Sox full time goes in action.
Dave Hillman up for the third time in this ballgame.
Wirtz holds the bag against Boyer.
Here's Tony Kubek struck out flying to right.
The stretch by Connolly the pitch to Kubek is hit high in the air to right field.
Jensen moving back flips the glasses down he's under it.
Boyer is tagging. Jensen makes the catch and Boyer bluffs going and Jensen's throw comes in true to second base.
Cleve was just fluffing drawing a throw and he drew a good one.
That brings up Roger Maris who singled and scored in the first inning and then homered to right field in the third inning.
One away.
Pitch to Maris is a ground ball to second base. Chilling over to Button for one back to first.
No Wirtz dropped the ball.
So it's a fourth play. We'll wait and see if Wirtz gets an error or just what it is.
The ball did not hit the ground as Wirtz tried to backhand it but it came out of his glove.
There's been no error put on the scoreboard or from the official scorer.
Here's Mickey Mantle. Mantle homered to drive in three runs in the first inning struck out in the third.
Here's Mickey is low ball one.
So it doesn't look like they're going to charge Wirtz with the error.
Throw is in plenty of time.
Double Maris. Mantle takes the pitch high. Ball two. Two and nothing.
Looks like Wirtz brought that ball on his thumb. He keeps taking the left hand out of the glove and shaking it.
Mickey takes the curve low ball three. Three and nothing.
Maris leading away. Mickey tried to get out of the way the pitch and hit his bat malzone up with it over to Wirtz for the out.
On a three nothing pitch Mantle tried to duck out of the way of a high inside fastball and bounced the third.

The score at the end of four and a half innings. New York five and the Red Sox three.

They have played 38 ballgames this year. 20 of them have been one run ballgames have been decided by one run.

Red Sox have won nine of the 21 run games and lost 11.
Inside one of one of the words.
One one pitch a ground ball a short Kubeck is up with it near second it throw the first in time to get word and it's two way.
Here comes Jackie Jensen.
Jackie called out on strikes in the first inning doubles a left with the bases loaded in the third the drive in two runs.
Jackie gets the kind of treatment that man will get around the league and at Yankee Stadium even some booze mixed with the cheers.
To out nobody on five three the Yankees lead Jensen takes a curve over strike one.
Fastball is inside one of one.
Fastball hit on the ground Richard Juneau is left is up with it. So is the scour and in time for the out.

This has been a bulletin from the WOK newsroom.
Pretty soon the Yankees are going to take off on their longest road trip of the season.
They return to the stadium against the new Washington Senators on Friday night June 30th.
That's the holiday weekend that weekend will be featured by a fourth of July doubleheader at home between the Yankees and the amazing front running Detroit Tigers.
Tickets for this big attraction are moving well. They better order yours as soon as possible.
And don't forget old time as they sat there afternoon July the 29th Baltimore's red hot Orioles against the Yankees following the greatest old time as program ever.
This year we feature the all time Yankees all time Dodgers from Brooklyn days and the all time New York Giants.
Here's one of that old time fans and the new ones to want to miss the order old time as tickets now while good choice of seats are available.
Yogi Berra who's over to today flying to center and bounce the second leads off in New York here in the top of the six.
It'll be better scouring and blanching.
Gene Conley out of the mound.
Big right handers pitch the yogi is hit to right field Jackie Johnson going back way back in that ball is in the deep for a home run.
All the Yankee runs have come as a result of homers.
Yogi hit the first pitcher curve ball into the right field.
Hit number eight or family run number six for the Yankees and for better is six home of the year and his 19th run batted in Rick words call time and goes over to the mound and talk with Conley as once again we have action in the Red Sox both.
And Dave Hillman is up again for the fourth time in this ballgame.
So Conley is serving up the home run pitch today that he and he.
And words are stalling out of the mouth down magna the pitching coach is ready to come out and here comes down now out of the Red Sox dugout.
And that's it.
Second base umpire Joel in Salado running out to the bullpen waving in Dave Hillman.
And rather changing pitches here as a result of the Indianapolis 500 mile speedway race.
AJ point from Houston Texas is the winner and Eddie Sacks is second.
That was a big upset.
ruling grind out in Indianapolis 500 mile race.
You deserve that boy even if you finish you deserve something in that race.
So Conley is out of there.
Conley has picked five innings.
He's allowed a basis.
Didn't walk anybody struck out three and has allowed six runs.
But Conley has given up for home runs one to metal in the first inning with two on and then solo homers to Maris Garan and Vera.
So it looks like Ralph Halk had the right punch when he said he would play all of his left handed power instead of going to the right handed hitters in the short left field fence.
And the left hand hitters have come through with a little added help from some of the right hand hitters like Boyer and scarring.
Garan has a single in a home run and he'll be the first batter to face Dave Hillman.
Hillman is 511 only weighs 168 pounds.
Now living in Kingsport Tennessee.
Last year one none lost three with the Red Sox.
Hillman is making his 12th appearance of the year.
All of them in relief.
He is one two and lost one as an earned run average of one point six so so he's having a fine year.
Garan watching Hillman loosen up from just outside the batter's box.
All right now the moose is ready steps into the batter's box on deck is Johnny Blanchard.
Six three the Yankees lead.
Hillman's pitch to scarring is a curve outside ball one.
Wind up and the fastball is pop style coming out of play back into the deep.
One one on Moose curveball hit deep to right center field way back there.
Jensen digging it into the ball for a home run.
And into the Red Sox bullpen.
Garan second home of the day and his third hit.
The Yankees really have a home run going today.
Moose the second RBI and the Yankees lead seven to three.
What a shot that was that was more of a line drive and it started to curve away.
It looked like Jensen might have a shot at it.
But at the last second it just zoomed right over the fence and into the Red Sox bullpen.
So Moose is it to home it today is seventh and eighth gives him twenty seven RBI.
And here's Johnny Blanchard.
Blanchard popped the short bounce the second.
Five home runs for the Yankees in the ballgame. That's the Johnny is low ball one.
Garan Tomahawk that ball looked like it was up around his eyes.
He looked like a tennis player serving the ball.
Curve low ball two to another.
Here's a wind up by Hellman. This is on the outside corner for a call strike.
Nobody out here in the top of the six back to back home is by Baron Garan open the inning.
Blanchard fouls the pitch back on the screen.
Two two pitches fouls that just got a piece of the count holds it to and to.
Hellman's curve is swung at a missed strike three as he took a little bit off the pitch.
His first strike out brings up Bobby Richardson Bobby line to right center and line to center.
It's a ball hard twice without a base hit.
Bobby takes a curve on the outside corner like one.
Another curve this one low one on one.
Down curve over strike two one ball to strike.
Here's a wind up by Hellman one one curve hit on the ground up the middle and back a second and button has a close the first not in time he beat it out a fine play by button.
But he couldn't get anything on the floor as he feels the ball actually on the second base side of the bag going from short over towards second and infield single for Richardson.
Here's a wind up by Hellman in the 10th hit for the Yankees in the ballgame and it brings up Bill Staffin who replaced Ralph Perry and happened in his one appearance was called out on strike.
One away.
Strike three first half of the sixth inning.
Red Sox infield looking for the sacrifice quick sort of first Richardson back.
That's my helmet.
The ball is bonded down the first base line and it goes far picked up by Hellman.
The second base line is a little bit of a stretch.
Richardson leading away and the sort of first he's back just in time looks like Bobby had ideas that time about going.
Here's the stretch.
And there he goes and the ball is filed back they have a hit and run on with that and Bobby had a good jump and stuff and had a good cut but he filed it back.
Nothing in two.
Hellman said curve is hit between first and second but killing comes up both the first 40 hours. There's a ball that's reversed English in favor of the Red Sox second base and I staff it hit one off the end of his bad it looked like it was going to kick away from
why it takes back the other way I don't know but feeling made a fine play as he caught it wheeled around and fired to work. Richardson moved to second base and it's two way brings up Cleve Boyer who is two for three two single to left field and bounce to the shortstop.
Cleve scored one run.
Still a minute into the stretch position.
That's the boy is low outside ball one.
It's in a good lead off second.
Tillman's curve is high ball to two or nothing.
Tony Kubek kneeling on deck next batter.
He's got a hand of stretches.
Cleve serves a boy or it's one out in this strike one two balls one strike.
Ready for the two one delivery.
Ground ball hit that the pitches like one is going to have to hustle he can't make the play. He tried to pick it up there handed at the base of the boy.
Actually have a hustle that play. I don't know whether he had to try and get it bare handed it was bouncing, which is a tough play for an infielder to come in on a bouncing ball of it's rolling you can pick it up there handed.
He tried to grab it bare handed it kicked off his wrist and it's an infield single for Boyer his third base head of the day the 11th for the Yankees and here's Tony Kubek who struck out and fly to right field twice.
Richardson moved a third on the play Yankees lead 7 3 top of the 6 to out.
That's my home and the pitch to boy is right in the Red Sox dugout. Oh man that's got to the players. They came out all the way to the steps of the dugout.
He rifled a one hopper in there and there's somebody threw a towel up in the air, which is a signal to cease firing.
We surrender and a youngster throws it back into the bench.
One strike on Kubek
Boyer off first Richardson off third
Pitches line to left center field at the base that coming in to score Richardson moving the third base is Boyer Kubek rounds and holds on at first base with an RBI single a left center.
The Yankees have their hitting shoes on today.
Fourth hit off Hillman a second run off Hillman Yankees lead 8 3 and now have 12 base hits and it brings up Roger Maris who has a single a homer and bounced into a fourth play.
Boyer at third and Kubek at first.
Five hits this inning for the Yankees.
Stretched by Hillman.
Pitch to Maris the curve swung at a missed strike one.
Here's the stretch.
Slow curve swung at a missed strike two.
Kubek dancing off first and Hillman steps off the rubber Boyer leading off third.
Stretched curve is high ball one Kubek bluff going and Pagliarone jumped out of the catcher's box red is throw.
One ball two strikes and two outs two men on.
Change up hit file outside of first.
I think he scored three in the first one the third one of the fourth and three here in the sixth.
Change up popped in the air to short left there.
Carol Hardy is moving in under it and the left field the halls it in for the out as eight men went to bat that inning for the Yankees.
They come up with three runs.
Five hits.
No Red Sox errors.
Two men left the score at the end of five and a half innings the Yankees eight and the Red Sox three.

all the good things you want in beer are here today in Ballantine beer
the brewers of Ballantine beer friends have found that today's beer drinkers demand two things in the beer that they enjoy
one lightness and two flavor now Ballantine has put over a hundred and twenty years of know-how into brewing a beer
that combines the best of both of these important qualities
today's Ballantine therefore is sunny light as you like it with all the mellow lager flavor you want
this special combination makes it the crisper pressure enjoy Ballantine
your first swallow and each one to follow will tell you why more than five million glasses of Ballantine beer enjoyed every day
but try golden glass full yourself and you'll find out why and you'll get all the good things you want in beer
in the crisper pressure Ballantine beer Ralph Howe is bringing in Jim Coates as we go to the last of the seven
Bill Stafford worked four innings in which he retired every man he faced that is the longest he has been able to go so far this season
and in view of his late reporting spring training and the development of a so arm short path of the start of the season
you might find the reason for bringing coach in at this point
Ralph didn't want to run the risk of another so arm Ralph Terry started and was lifted in the third inning after having given up five hits
a walk a double a walk and a double drove in two runs and Stafford came in runners on second third nobody out
first man up at a sacrifice fly to get the third run home charged to Jerry and Bill did a tremendous job in relief a perfect job
and now Jim Coates comes along and Don Budden the first man he'll face in the seventh inning pops the second and grounded the short
coach's delivery in their strike one nothing in one Pete Ronald is out on deck to hit for Hillman
coach delivers high ball on one and one Jim Coates making his 14th appearance his 13th relief job has worked 33 and a half innings
about 21 hits and run average of 2.7 to a one lost record of five and two given up ten earned runs the one one pitch to Budden
swung on as a fly ball into short left to back out Yogi and and to back makes the catch one away Pete Ronald coming up to hit for Dave
Hillman batting 300.
The pitch is low and inside for a ball one ball no strike coach delivers fastball in their strike one we've just gotten information over the
inner communication system from the press box that Stafford's arm did begin to tighten previous inning but he wants one more now the
delivery is high and our speculation proved to be a fact.
To one count on Pete Ronald American League batting champion last year and the pitch is in their strike to to to two balls two strikes
right hander into the wind up and the pitch fastball swung on it missed strike three two away now Chuck Schilling grounded the second
drill walk and fly to right center Yankees eight Red Sox three it's the last of the seven.
The right handers delivery inside ball to two balls no strike.
Gary Geiger on deck Jim into the wind up and the next pitch is a little low ball three three nothing.
Jim named this one and it's high ball for couldn't locate the plate for Schilling.
So with two down Schilling draws a walk first Red Sox base runner and Johnson doubled in the third inning.
Gary Geiger popped the third dropped a double along the left field line and popped the third left hand batter hitting the opposite
field and the way you pull this time or not.
They fit swung on and popped up in the air over near the stands of me.
The plan should got to play on it.
He has and one handed that ball failed back and he one handed it.
Boyer was right behind him though.
The Red Sox retired as Geiger files out to Blanchard no runs no hits no errors and one left on at the conclusion of seven innings.
The Yankees eight runs twelve hits no errors five left on Boston three runs five hits no errors and five men left on base.
Do not make case because haste makes waste.
I want you to stop and carry.
Did you be sure and carry plenty of those six pack jack.
Get that funny mouth taste this lightness of the pressure like a cool dip on a warm summer's day.
Those are the things you want and beer the things you get in today's Valentine talking about the Chris profession.
Washington beat Los Angeles five to one.
They only played one play one beat Minnesota four to three in the first game Baltimore one Chicago nothing ended six in the first game.
Kansas City to Detroit nothing and the six and a half first game.
Nationally Cincinnati seven San Francisco to end of eight and a half innings first game of a day and morning and afternoon doubleheader St.

Milwaukee beat Philadelphia three and one first game Chicago five Pittsburgh three first game.
At the Indianapolis Speedway 500 mile Memorial Day Atlantic.
The winner was AJ point Eddie Saks second and Roger Ward third.
We don't have their time.
Mike for Nellis comes in to work for the Red Sox as we go to the eighth inning Bobby Richardson up.
Swings the first pitch and grounds at the short buttoned his left up with it throws on the first one away.
Bobby who had tried to right center line the center and single the short on a slow roller actually single through the middle and slow hit ball button made a fine play.
But Bobby beat Bobby grounds out the short to open the eighth and here is Jim Coates.
For Nellis in his 14th appearance has a record of one and two second time out against New York.
That my loosening up in the New York bullpen for Nellis pitch one on his missed strike one.
Now the delivery bonnet bow coming back in the stand.
Jim by another ball and came spinning back.
We had a lot of fun after the ballgame last night for a while.
A great many of the people who were here for the celebration of the president's 44th birthday came from Hartford and other points in Connecticut including the National Democratic Committeeman Bailey.
Coach takes low outside for a ball and many of the state officials the governor led by the governor and he just wanted to talk baseball.
A good ad mixture of Red Sox and Yankee fans.
They pitched to Coates strike three calls.
Cleet Boyer coming up single left grounded to short single left and single to short three for four.
Eight to three New York eighth inning.
For Nellis delivers over the outside corner for a strike.
Red Sox have gotten some pretty good pitching.
I mean over this season.
Next pitch is low outside for a ball.
Now the team pitching staff earned run average of three point six one for the start of today's game as opposed to the Yankees for now the pitch swung on line and the left field for a base hit and Cleet Boyer lines a single left for his fourth hit.
Four for five the Yankees 13th hit.
That comes Tony Kubek struck out single right.
I mean I find the right twice and single left center one run batted in.
For Nellis delivers to Tony who swings and lines up in the right field for a base hit.
Boyer goes on to second boy your stop halfway between first and second he forgot there were two out.
Jensen charged the liner but they already threw out the just he's probably computing his batting average you know and didn't often a fellow gets four five.
Then the sudden you realize there are two out he couldn't gotten past second anyway the ball is lined out there in a hurry.
Roger Maris single center hit a solo homer grounded the second fly to left to on to out.
A pitch is over strike one.
Of course we could have helped played out and told him and he jumped his average from 243 to 267 today.
24 points
for Nellis the two away delivers and Maris takes it low outside ball one eight to three New York eight thinning.
Runners lead away from first and second here's the pitch inside ball to two and one.
To on to out Mike pitch on the way is inside ball three three and one.
Three balls one strike for your on second to back on first two out and the pitch swung on there's a drive at the deep right field that ball is going going in a dog Maris.
Getting his second home of the day Yankees six home of the ball game too short of the record of eight and one game Maris being off way back getting his 11th homer four runs batted in the game.
The seven the season one homer and one hour and three RBI behind man with a three run homer in the first thing struck out grounded third fly to center 11 to three New York and had six home runs.
They pitch to mantle swung on and fouled off upstairs.
Strike one the third three run in 11 to three New York.
Darren hit two Maris to make text the strike right in there mantle Barra and the two strikes pitch swung on there's a drive to deep right center field and that ball is going going on into the bleachers.
The Yankees and one short of the record.
And the second back to back deal for the Yankees in the game. Man of 13 and 31 runs batted in and is long drive about four hundred and twenty five feet under the bleachers.
The Yankees and one short of the three New York.
And barre takes a bit it's not it's a 1 1 count.
one one count he swings and
lines it into right field for
a base hit.
So with two outs in this inning
there have been five
consecutive hits and up comes
the move.
Single the center hit two homers
and walk.
12 to 3 New York for Neal is
ready delivers and scarring
look out that almost hit him up
on the shoulder.
One ball no strike.
They lose most and the pitch
swung on foul back upstairs.
Oddly enough only one homer has
been hit into the friendly left
field screen.
One of Moses Moses second man
was hit over the Red Sox bullpen
just about the spot where a man
will hit his and right center.
All the others have been to the
deep part change up curve over
one and do the Yankees and
enjoyed their finest hour and
a long while.
Here's the pitch the Skyron

hits no errors. Yankees are stranded six and the Red Sox six. Game highlighted by
six New York home run seven New York home runs one short of the Major League record

American League Washington beat Los Angeles 5 to 1 Hobart the winner Garver the loser
Averill Homer. First game a doubleheader Cleveland beat Minnesota 4 to 3. The winner
in relief of Hawkins Pasquale the loser the second game will be Ramus and Grant.
Baltimore for Chicago nothing and the seven innings Barber against Shaw with

the first of the night at Fenway John Blanchard up takes low and inside. St.
Louis Los Angeles play tonight Milwaukee beat Philadelphia 3 to 1.
Buell beat Perez a Thomas homer in the seventh in the first game. Blanchard
takes low for a ball. William Mahaffey in the second game Chicago beat Pittsburgh
5 to 3 Ellsworth beats Mizelle Rogers and Kendall homer in second game 2
nothing Cubs at the end of the first inning Cardwell and friends. Mike Corny
of his pitches and it is in there for a strike. The Indianapolis Speedway Memorial
Day race was won by AJ point of Houston Texas Eddie Sack second Roger Ward third
for Neal is flipped and Blanchard hits a fly ball in the straightaway center.
Gary Geiger hundred takes it for the out John popped the short rounded the
second struck out and hit the box before just now flying the center and he is the
only regular other than the pitchers and failed to hit. Boyars had four out of
five to back two out of five Maris three out of five including two homers
mantle two out of five including two homers pitch to Bobby Richardson in for
a strike Maris driving in for a mantle for Barra that two for five including a
homer scaring three for four including two homers. The pitch is in there for a
strike and Richardson who is up has had one before flying to right center line
to center singled and grounded to short.
Mike Cornyless delivers and Bobby ellipse a high pop foul off first pick
works move hundred and take it to a way and here's Jim Coates or Jim might keep
it alive but from the standpoint of tying the record for most homers in the
game by one team which is eight the Yankees are one short.
You've had seven the records eight.
You've had seven the records eight. Cornyless pitches time inside to Jim
Coates.
The count next pitch hit the coast in the back. Jim goes by and says something
to him and now Bob Stewart goes out and says something to for me. And Stewart is
calling Higgins out. I think Bob is in the thing that he deliberately threw it
so back there only a thing something and I Higgins coming over.
Jim next Jensen.
And now Higgins is arguing with Stewart Stewart went out I think to warn
the other. Charlie Berry comes over to get into the
scapegoat.
So Jim Coates is aboard hit by a pitch ball.
Mike Cornelius is working to boyer.
He's had four for five.
He swings and fouls it back.
Strike one.
And the pitch.
No outside for a ball.
Next pitch to boyer is outside and low.
The most home runs by a team in the game eight, the Yankees in 1939, the Braves in 1953,
and the Reds in 1956.
The Yankees have hit seven in this one.
Another thing I may want to bring up here in a moment.
Here's the pitch and over the outside corner for a strike.
Two, two.
Please boyer.
He's had four out of five.
Raised his average twenty four points to sixty seven.
And that's what coats on first in the ninth inning, twelve to three New York.
Mike Cornelius delivers.
Pitch is swung on.
It's a high fly ball in the right field.
Jackie Johnson is under it.
The catch and the side is retired.
No runs.
No hits.
No errors.
One left on the end of eight and a half innings.
The score.
The Yankees twelve and the Red Sox three.
Never see a ballgame quite like this one.
You see different kinds.
But it's had two ingredients.
The long ball and some exciting plays.
Makes a good ballgame.
The two very important things are going to truly find beer.
The first is likeness.
The second flavor.
To really refresh a beer must have likeness plus like a beer flavor.
Where a Ballantine beer comes in.
Ballantine combines the best of both delivered to the taste you've been searching for in
beer.
A taste that's sunny, mellow and just as crisp and refreshing as all outdoors.
So if likeness alone won't do for you, if you want a beer with flavor too then make
the good old three ring sign and ask the man for Ballantine.
People know quality when they taste it.
And that's the reason why over five million glasses of the CRISPR Pressure enjoy it every
day.
So try it friends and enjoy it.
Ballantine beer, the CRISPR Pressure.
The other thing I wanted to bring up is the Yankees tied a record of having as many as
three players at two home runs in one game.
Bill and Maris and Scarron have done it today to tie a record.
As we go to the last half of the ninth inning, Carroll Hardy up and Coates' pitch is swung
on in line foul.
Left field stands strike one.
Pittsburgh had Keiner, Greenberg and Cox do it in 1947.
The Red Sox had Doerr, Dropo and Williams do it in 1950.
The Giants had May Spencer and Westrom in 1956.
The Reds had Thurman, Robinson, Kluszewski in 1956.
The Yankees today have had Maris, Mantle and Scarron.
So it hasn't been done very often.
They pitch to Hardy just outside for a ball, one and one.
One ball, one strike.
Coates' pitch is swung on lined out into right field for a base hit.
Maris takes it on a hop.
They throw in the second.
Hardy really traveled around first and hits the dirt going back in.
Single to right.
Now Don Button swings in with a strike one.
So this was the second time that it's been done in the American League.
One team having three players hit as many as two homers.
He's done the National League three times.
Here's the pitch and it's low outside for a ball.
One ball, one strike and the pitch is over the outside corner for a strike.
Jack Reed has gone into center field by the way in place of Mantle.
Coates delivers and it is over that outside corner.
All strike three.
Budden took it a good look but it was over there.
And we'll have Russ Nixon coming up the bat for Mike Forneilis.
Russ Nixon batting for Forneilis.
Left hand batter and the pitch.
High ball one.
One ball, no strike.
Here's the delivery.
Just outside, ball two.
Twelve to three New York last of the night.
Here's the delivery.
High for ball three.
Three nothing count.
We have a night game tomorrow and we'll be on the air at 855.

Game's at eight o'clock.

Time to the second, walk, fly to right center and walk.
One out the ninth inning, twelve to three New York.

Two balls, two strikes.
Now the delivering, swung on and foul back out of play.

In the very short right, Richardson backing up, still going back and makes the catch and
the ball game is over.
No runs, two hits, no errors and two men left on and the Yankees win the second game of
the series.
Twelve to three where the home run class included seven.
Ten short of the record for most homers in a game by one team and tighter record for
most men to hit as many as two homers in a game with Mantle, Maris and Skaren each hitting
two.
So as we check the totals, check your Ballantine beer, fill up the glass and have a ball.
