00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
The New York Yankees faced the Cleveland Indians at Cleveland Stadium for a Sunday afternoon game on May 25, 1958.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,000
The Yankees were off to a brisk start in 1958, entering this game with a 24-6 record.

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:26,000
They were managed by Casey Stengel and had been to the World Series in the previous three seasons, having lost to the Braves in 1957.

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:36,000
The Indians went to the World Series in 1954 under the momentum of their historic 111-win season, but manager Al Lopez left Cleveland two years later to lead the White Sox.

6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
The Indians then fell below 500 in 1957 for the first time in 11 years.

7
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
They then decided to give the managerial reins to Bobby Bragan for the 1958 season.

8
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Bragan was recruited away from Pittsburgh, where he managed under Branch Rickey, his long-term protege dating back to his playing days in Brooklyn.

9
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,000
This audio recording is from the New York Radio broadcast featuring announcers Phil Rizzotto and Mel Allen.

10
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000
This is the Atlantic dealer for Atlantic Imperial Gasoline.

11
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,000
For Cleveland, Ray Narleski out there on the hill.

12
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Leading off are the New York Yankees, Harry Simpson coming out of the Yankee dugout, Yogi Berra moving into the on-deck circle, and shortstop Tony Kuback will bat third.

13
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Stadium.

14
00:01:50,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Ray Narleski has won five and lost three. Through the years, he's been one of the mainstays of the Cleveland Indians Relief Corps, but he has had to be pressed into service as a starter.

15
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:12,000
When such pitches as Bob Lemon came up with a bad arm, Herb Score was injured, and Bob Lemon was put on the disabled list. Lemon was just put back on the active list yesterday.

16
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Bob has been working out, and he's ready to go.

17
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:24,000
And now, as we get ready to go here in the top of the first inning, Harry Simpson stepping up, leading off for the New York Yankees.

18
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Simpson batting an even 200. Been up just 15 times with three base hits, one triple, one run batted in.

19
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Harry's right wrist just starting to get strong again. He had it broken in spring training.

20
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Ray Narleski checks the sign from Dick Brown. Here's the windup, and the first pitch is strike one over the outside corner, and the ball game's underway.

21
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:58,000
And it looks like we're going to have a real good crowd here today. Coaching at third, Frank Crisetti down at first base, Ralph Houch.

22
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Narleski ready. The pitch to Simpson has occurred low, ball one, one-on-one.

23
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:12,000
The municipal stadium in Cleveland, Ohio.

24
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:20,000
One of the biggest fields in the big leagues. Of course, you can't say the biggest anymore because Los Angeles Coliseum is bigger.

25
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000
There's a foul back on a play strike two, high on the upper deck.

26
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:39,000
One ball, two strikes to count on Harry Simpson.

27
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:46,000
This park is so tremendous, they had to put a temporary fence running from left field all the way over to right field to make it possible to hit a few more home runs.

28
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,000
We'll give you the dimensions in just a moment. One ball, two strikes to count on Harry Simpson.

29
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Narleski checking the sign from Dick Brown.

30
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Here's the windup, and the slow curve is hit over the mound. Shortstop, Billy Harrell coming in up with it.

31
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Fires to first, and it's one away.

32
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Harry Simpson bounces out short to first, and the batter will be Yogi Berra.

33
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:30,000
And the fans greet Yogi with mixed emotions. Yogi has always had real good days here at Cleveland.

34
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
He's really worn out this Cleveland pitching staff, when it was at its best, too.

35
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Yogi's batting 218, just starting to shake the slump he's been in most of the year. He has four doubles, four homers, 13 runs batted in.

36
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,000
First pitch is strike one on the inside corner.

37
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Down the left field and right field lines at 320 feet.

38
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:55,000
And in left center and right center is 365, and dead center, 410.

39
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,000
The pitch to Yogi is outside, ball one, one-on-one.

40
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:08,000
There have been some tremendous home runs hit in this park. I remember one Johnny Lindell hit deep into the bleachers, which is 465 feet away in left center field.

41
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,000
And one Luke Easter hit here in the upper deck in right center field. Must have gone about 500 feet.

42
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,000
The one-one pitch to Yogi is outside, low ball two, two and one.

43
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
On deck, Tony Kubek.

44
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,000
This has always been one of the best kept-up fields in the big leagues.

45
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Their ground crew is terrific, just like they are at Yankee Stadium.

46
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Keeps the field immaculate, the infield free of as many pebbles as they can.

47
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
The infielders love to play here at Municipal Stadium. Very few bad hops.

48
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Here's the two-one pitch, a ground foul wide at first.

49
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:54,000
And almost all the ballparks now have installed these ball boys sitting down the right field and left field line, and it speeds up the game.

50
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,000
As they can chase the foul ball, and keep the outfielders in their position.

51
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,000
For Cleveland, they have Mnoso on left, Marathons center, Carlavito in right.

52
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Harris-Gillett third, Harrell is short, Avila is second, Ward at first, Brown catching. Now let's keep pitching.

53
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000
The foul is just over our heads.

54
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,000
And the count holds at two and two.

55
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,000
We're going to get them an ace. Be ready.

56
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Two balls, two strikes to count on Yogi Berra.

57
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:36,000
One man out here on the top of the first, no score in the ball game.

58
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Narleski, full right-hander ready.

59
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:48,000
The pitch to Yogi is another foul, just to our left and out of play.

60
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Wayne Narleski is six feet, one inches tall, 175 pounds. Born in Camden, New Jersey, now lives in Palmer Heights, Ohio.

61
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Last year he won 111 and lost five.

62
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Had a 2.94 earned run average.

63
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,000
And has always been one of the Indian's most effective pitches.

64
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Here's the two-two pitch.

65
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Brown balls.

66
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Shorts up, Billy Harrell up with it.

67
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,000
By at the first. Not in time. Yogi falls as he crosses first base.

68
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,000
He fell heavily to the ground, but he gets up now. Ralph Houch gets him up.

69
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Yogi with that long, last lunge at first base, tripped over the bag.

70
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,000
And Billy Harrell, at shortstop, took a little bit too much time getting rid of that ball.

71
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,000
He had it in plenty of time.

72
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:42,000
And took a couple of extra steps, and that's what enabled Yogi to beat it out for an infield single.

73
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Here's the first hit of the ball game, and it brings up Tony Kubek.

74
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Tony batting 323, four double-six runs batted in.

75
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Preston Ward holding first base against Farah. The first pitch is inside, ball one.

76
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:07,000
On deck, Mickey Mantle.

77
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Yankee dug out on the third base side. Cleveland over on the first base side.

78
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,000
The stretch by Nalewski. The pitch is a high fly to straightaway center field.

79
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Roger Maris with the glasses down under it and takes it for out number two.

80
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Two away, and here comes Mickey Mantle.

81
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Mickey batting 306. Eight doubles, four home as 14 runs batted in.

82
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Mantle has still not hit his stride.

83
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Last year, Nalewski won twice over the Yankees and didn't lose at all.

84
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,000
He has a 4-1 lifetime record against the Yankees.

85
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,000
And is one of the few American League pitchers with a winning mark against the Bronx Bombers.

86
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:26,000
The first pitch to Mantle, strike one, swing and a miss.

87
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Yogi Berle leading off first base. Preston Ward playing in back of Yogi now with two away.

88
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Top of the first, no score on the ball game.

89
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:40,000
The pitch to Mantle is another swing and a miss, strike two.

90
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Nalewski put a little extra on that fastball and was up around Mickey's letters.

91
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:56,000
On deck, Gail McDougall.

92
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Nothing into the count on Mantle.

93
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:21,000
The pitch, a little bit low, ball one, one ball and two strikes.

94
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Brian Oleski, cleaning off the mound a little bit, habit that most pitchers have,

95
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000
kicking the dirt around from one spot to another.

96
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Just a little nervous habit. One ball, two strikes on Mantle, two away.

97
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Here's the stretch. The pitch is a ground ball at second base.

98
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Ward cuts in front, takes it, throws to Oleski, covering, he's safe at first.

99
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Preston Ward, cut in front of Bobby Avila, took the ball back in and had it tossed to Oleski,

100
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,000
covering and Mickey Mantle beat the play. It's a base hit for Mickey.

101
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Another infield single for Mickey Mantle.

102
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Sends Yogi Berra down to second base and with two away, the batter Gail McDougall.

103
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:22,000
McDougall batting 369. Six doubles, five homers and 17 runs batted in.

104
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,000
That was a tough play as Ward had to cut to his right backhand of the ball

105
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000
and had to throw back across his body to Oleski.

106
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000
He grabbed it with one hand and reached for the bag, but Mickey was across first.

107
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Berra at second, Mantle at first, two away.

108
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,000
The stretch, the pitch to McDougall is a curve, a low, ball one.

109
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:55,000
On deck, Jerry Lumpy.

110
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:02,000
Here's the stretch. Pitch is fouled at the plate, strike one, one, one.

111
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:07,000
And here at Municipal Stadium, the photographers also are allowed to be on the field,

112
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,000
like they are in Detroit.

113
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000
And they are right close to the plate and it's a very dangerous spot.

114
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Any fouled ball that hits sharply off the bat, they'd never have a chance of getting out of the way.

115
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,000
We've seen a lot of cameras ruined out here.

116
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:36,000
The pitch to McDougall is nine, ball two, two and one.

117
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Two balls, one strike, two men out.

118
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,000
We're in the top of the first inning of this first game of a double head-up.

119
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:48,000
No score in the ball game.

120
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Now, that's the stretch. The pitch to McDougall is high, ball three, three and one.

121
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Three balls and one strike.

122
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:14,000
And this has been a familiar pattern in the last nine or ten games with Baron Mantle on base and McDougall at bat.

123
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:33,000
One moment please.

124
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,000
We're experiencing technical difficulty along the home of Champions Network.

125
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,000
The Yankees and the Cleveland Indians out of Municipal Stadium in Cleveland.

126
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:54,000
As soon as the technical difficulty is cleared up, we will rejoin the Yankees and the Indians in Cleveland.

127
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:36,000
The Yankees and the Indians out of Municipal Stadium in Cleveland.

128
00:14:36,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Well, our technical difficulty seems to be cleared up, so we'll rejoin the Yankees and the Indians out in Cleveland.

129
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:10,000
The first batter for the Cleveland Indians will be Billy Harrell, the shortstop, and he'll be facing Whitey Ford.

130
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Whitey has won four and lost two this year with an earned run average of 1.75.

131
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Whitey's lifetime record against Cleveland, he's won 11 and lost seven.

132
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Harrell last year was with San Diego and Cleveland, most of the year with San Diego.

133
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Harrell's pitch is a curve. It hits Harrell on the right foot.

134
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:43,000
And he's hit by a pitch ball. Yogi Farah is claiming that the ball didn't hit him.

135
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:48,000
And Harrell is hit by a pitch ball.

136
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:56,000
And on that play, played on fire Ed Hurley did not even ask to see if the ball had any shoe polish on it.

137
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:04,000
He would show positive that the ball hit Harrell on the foot, and he's right on the play.

138
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:09,000
Harrell, 6'1.5, 180 down at first base. The batter, Bobby Avila.

139
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Harrell was batting 239, still is. Here's Avila batting 282.

140
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
The first pitch is a fly ball right field.

141
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Nelson Howard over near the line takes it for out number one.

142
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:33,000
That's Bobby Avila trying to go to the opposite field. One away.

143
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
And here's Minimanoto.

144
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Although he's been a great favorite around the leagues, at Chicago he was the darling of the White Sox fans.

145
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Here at Cleveland he's won them over already.

146
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Minis batting 263, two doubles, six homers, 19 runs batted in.

147
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Whitey Ford into a stretch position. The pitch to Minoso is strike one, a fair ball on the outside corner.

148
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Minis by 10, 175 pounds.

149
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Born in Montanjas, Cuba. Lives in Mariano, Cuba.

150
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Last year batted 310 with 12 homers and 103 runs batted in.

151
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Mark Throneberry holding first base against Billy Harrell.

152
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Here's the stretch.

153
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Another curve high outside, ball one, one-on-one. Yankees line up with Harry Simpson in left, Mickey Mantle in center, Elston Howard in right.

154
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Jerry Lumpy at third, Tony Kubek at short, Gil McYogle at second, Mark Throneberry at first.

155
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Yogi Berkacchi, Whitey Ford on the mound in a stretch position.

156
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,000
One-one pitch is a curve outside, ball two, two and one.

157
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,000
On deck, Preston Rores.

158
00:17:49,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Curve ball is set on the ground in short step. Kubek to McYogle for one, back to first.

159
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Not in time, not in time.

160
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:20,000
The throw beat Minosso to the bag, but Throneberry had to come off the bag to get the low throw by McYogle, so it goes to the fourth play.

161
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:27,000
From six to four, a racing Billy Harrell starting in a second, but Minosso's safe at first.

162
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:34,000
And with two out, here's Preston Moore at the first base.

163
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Ward is off to a real fine start.

164
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:51,000
He's batting 371, two doubles, two homers, nine runs batted in.

165
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Here's a stretch by Whitey Ford.

166
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Minosso leads off first.

167
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:05,000
The pitched award is a fly ball, Kubek going back at short stop, flips the glasses back under it, takes it for out number three.

168
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Well, the Indians in the last to the first.

169
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000
No runs, no hits, no Yankees.

170
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:15,000
There is one man left to score at the end of one full inning of play.

171
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000
The Yankees nothing and the Indians nothing.

172
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:26,000
That's springtime without long drives in the country, trips to the seashore, family picnics, vacations, and all the pleasures you get from your car.

173
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Well, there have been some days this spring that didn't look exactly like spring weather.

174
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,000
We're hoping for better days and they should come along, especially as we move on toward the summer season.

175
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:41,000
And with increased driving ahead, your car is in for some mighty tough going, especially where the tires are concerned.

176
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaking of tires, here's good news for every motorist today.

177
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Right now through May and June, your Atlantic dealer is running a big swing to safety tire sale.

178
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:58,000
That's right, brand new tires every size and every type, white walls and black, with tubes and tubeless.

179
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,000
It's on sale right now at every Atlantic dealer.

180
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Just stop in and have him check your tires.

181
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:09,000
He's an expert trained to look for those weak spots and to know just how good those tires are.

182
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:16,000
If you need replacements, your Atlantic dealer has the right quality and size at these special swing to safety prices.

183
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:21,000

184
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Keep your car on the go and ask him, too, about the PowerMate for 58, Atlantic Imperial Gasoline.

185
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:32,000
In the scoreboard, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, post-Paul Grahame, San Francisco, and Pittsburgh, two games.

186
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
We'll get to the others in a moment.

187
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Nelson Howard leading off, batting 343, still.

188
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:45,000
The triple-two home is eight runs batted in.

189
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Now let's get ready. The right-hander's first pitch to Howard is outside ball one.

190
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Howard stands deep in the batter's box, a right-hand batter, close stance.

191
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Pitch is hit deep down the left-field line.

192
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Minosso going over, and the ball is just fouled.

193
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,000
It was far enough for a home run and bounced into the left-field seat that hit the top of the world.

194
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:16,000
And bounced into the left-field seat, I'd say fouled by about five or six feet.

195
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:21,000
And even though he didn't even move from his left-field spot, he knew he had no chance to get that ball.

196
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:27,000
And his best shot was a caram off the wall, if it did hit the wall.

197
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:35,000
One strike and a long one on Nelson Howard.

198
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Now let's get ready.

199
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:44,000
One-one pitch is a little bit outside ball two, two and one.

200
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:53,000
On Jack Marv Throneberry.

201
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Here's a two-one pitch to Howard.

202
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Curveball popped in the air foul and back of the play.

203
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Dick Brown coming over and Preston Ward.

204
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:07,000
And Dick Brown makes the grab as he presses lightly against the front of the wall in front of the box seat

205
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000
just to the right of the Indian dugout.

206
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Nice play by Dick Brown.

207
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Always a tough play when you're chasing a foul ball near the stands.

208
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,000
And here's Marv Throneberry.

209
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,000
The first baseman for the New York Yankees batting 227.

210
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Throneberry has three doubles, two home as four runs batted in.

211
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:39,000
The first pitch is a change-up hit down the right-field line and foul.

212
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,000
Slow curve that Throneberry got out in front of but hit the ball well.

213
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:52,000
And he's been having a little bit of trouble with that slow step.

214
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:59,000
One strike to count on Marv Throneberry.

215
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:09,000
Right-hander ready kicks delivers a fastball swing and a miss strike two.

216
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,000
Nothing in two to count on Marv Throneberry.

217
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,000
On deck, Harry Simpson with whitey Ford due to hit next.

218
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
Whitey resting in the dugout.

219
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Here's a pitch high, ball one.

220
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:36,000
One ball, two strikes.

221
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
One ball, two strikes, one out.

222
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:43,000
Marv Throneberry has been playing first base since the moose Bill Scowron was injured at Yankee Stadium.

223
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Happy to hear Scowron coming along very well.

224
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Here's the pitch, a swing and a foul back.

225
00:23:51,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Out holds a one ball and two strikes.

226
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Ahead Hurley to play on pirates with some more baseballs and the attendant runs out with him.

227
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Now we're ready to go.

228
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Marv Throneberry steps back in the batter's box.

229
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Drain Oleski into his wind-up.

230
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,000
The slow curve is fouled just to our right.

231
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Nice play by Hal Ebowitz.

232
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Perfect catch right at him.

233
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:47,000
He's got big enough hands to catch him, I'll tell you that.

234
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Puts it in his pocket and Hal's got a nice souvenir.

235
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Getting a lot of foul balls hit back here today.

236
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Here's the pitch, a foul back against the screen.

237
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Count holds a one ball and two strikes.

238
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Quite a few of the writers have a wire screen in front of them because there are times when they're bending down writing something

239
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:23,000
and if a foul ball's ever hit, you could really get creamed.

240
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Now let's get ready again.

241
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:34,000
Here's the one ball, two strike pitch to Throneberry swinging a missed strike three.

242
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
First strikeout for Drain Oleski.

243
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Two away here in the top of the second, no score in the battle, Whitey fourth.

244
00:25:44,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Whitey batting 125, two for 16, he has one double.

245
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Here's the wind-up, the first pitch to Whitey is high outside ball one.

246
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Frank Crocetti coaching at third, Ralph Hough down at first.

247
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:32,000
The one-upting pitch is strike one, a fastball right down the middle, Whitey taking all the way.

248
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Here's the one-one pitch, a foul just to our left.

249
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Strike two, one ball and two strikes.

250
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,000
And again, Ed Hurley needs some new baseball.

251
00:26:49,000 --> 00:27:01,000
There have been an awful lot of foul balls this early in the ball game.

252
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Oleski now steps back off the mound, opening up that new baseball, close to the rosin bag.

253
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,000
Two men out here in the top of the second, nobody on.

254
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,000
One ball, two strikes to count on, Whitey fourth.

255
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:31,000
Here's the wind-up, the pitch is strike three, swinging on a high fastball.

256
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Strikeout number two for Ray Noleski for the Yankees in the top of the second, no runs, no hits.

257
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,000
No Indian errors and nobody left on base, the score at the end of an inning and a half.

258
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,000
The Yankees nothing and the Indians nothing.

259
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,000
No doubt about it, is there, fans, when you're on the go exploring the open highway,

260
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,000
you like that card about a thousand in the smooth power department.

261
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,000
So here's a good suggestion, fill up with Atlantic Imperial gasoline.

262
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:00,000
It's your car's power mate for 58, made to bring out the best possible performance

263
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000
in today's demanding high compression engines.

264
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,000
It'll make it a habit to drive with Atlantic Imperial everywhere you travel.

265
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,000
In the long run, it's today's best super octane buy.

266
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Get Atlantic Imperial gasoline, a home run, favored if there ever was one.

267
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:18,000
Your car's power mate for 58 from your friendly, reliable Atlantic dealer.

268
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,000
From the highway ahead of you or near your home, a place of business.

269
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Just look for the friendly Atlantic sign, it's an automatic invitation to try the world's finest petroleum product.

270
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Drop by and meet up with the fellow who keeps your car on the go.

271
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:36,000
San Francisco at Pittsburgh in the first game, Gomez for the Giants, Schmitz catching,

272
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Vernon Law on the slab for the Pirates, Travis the backstop.

273
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,000
The end of three innings, it's tied 1-1.

274
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Warm up features, starting for St. Louis, Brosnan recently traded from the Cubs.

275
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000
For Cincinnati, it'll be Robbie.

276
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,000
St. Louis, Cincinnati a doubleheader.

277
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000
In Chicago, Milwaukee two games today.

278
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000
Boston, Chicago against the White Sox a doubleheader.

279
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Washington, Detroit a twin bill.

280
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,000
It's a doubleheader here at Cleveland at a single game, Baltimore, Kansas City.

281
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Right now, bottom of the second inning, Nick Brown the catcher, Carascal and Colabito.

282
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Bill?

283
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:13,000
The first pitch is outside ball one.

284
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Nick Brown was with Cleveland, Omaha and Mobile last year.

285
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,000
The slow curve is high for ball two.

286
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:32,000
With Omaha, he batted 261 in 46 games.

287
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,000
In 34 games with the Indians, he batted 263.

288
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:41,000
And in 40 games for Mobile, he batted 312.

289
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,000
First ball is a swing and a miss, strike one.

290
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Two balls and one strike.

291
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:58,000
24 years old from Shinston, West Virginia.

292
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,000
The 2-1 pitch is a curveball popped in the air back of the mound.

293
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Gil McDougal right there under it and takes it for out number one.

294
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:11,000
As Whitey Ford hits young Dick Brown on the fist with a curveball.

295
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,000
And here's Chico Carascal.

296
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Chico has been switched to third base as manager Bobby Bregan feels that Billy Harrow can cover a little more ground than Carascal is short.

297
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Chico is batting 238, four doubles, two homers, 17 runs batted.

298
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:35,000
And there's a high foul over by the Indian dugout, Throneberry chasing it and makes the grab.

299
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,000
Makes the grab.

300
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Shining away from the wall, he backhanded the ball for out number two.

301
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Shining away and the bat of Rocky Colavito.

302
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Colavito batting 253, has four doubles, two homers, 12 runs batted.

303
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,000
And Rocky got off to a real good start.

304
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,000
Was up there leading the league for a while, then got into a slump.

305
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,000
The first ball is in there, strike one call.

306
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:15,000
A boy named Rocco Colavito born in the Bronx, now lives in Temple, Pennsylvania.

307
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,000
He's 6'3", 190 pounds.

308
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,000
The first ball is in there, strike two.

309
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Nothing is true on Rocky.

310
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Rocky has tried to model his style of play with that of the great Joe DiMaggio.

311
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:38,000
And as a matter of fact, he resembles Joe spatially and in his build.

312
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,000
The third ball is a swing and a miss, strike three.

313
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:49,000
And so, all the Indians in the last of the second, no runs, no hits, no Yankees,

314
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,000
there's nobody left to score at the end of two full innings.

315
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,000
The Yankees nothing and the Indians nothing.

316
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,000
It's up to the data and up to the minute.

317
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,000
So it's up to you fans, fill her up today with Atlantic Imperial gasoline.

318
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Your car's power, a mate for 58.

319
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,000
And as we told you, this is our first look at the season at the revamped Cleveland Indians

320
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,000
who have been the surprise of the league so far.

321
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:18,000
The Yanks and Indians were rained out of a three game set at the stadium earlier this month.

322
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:23,000
So you'll have your first look at such prominent newcomers as Mudcat Grant, Carol Hardy,

323
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000
Gary Geiger and others next month.

324
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,000
And veteran Bob Lemon and Speedy Herb's score are expected back in action by then too.

325
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,000
So you'll be seeing Bobby Breger's new club near full strength.

326
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:39,000
The Indians, always a popular attraction in New York, will be stadium visitors the first weekend of June.

327
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,000
The Yanks and Tribes hang under the lights on Friday, June the 6th.

328
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,000
A ladies day game on Saturday, June 7th.

329
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,000
And a make-up doubleheader on Sunday afternoon, June the 8th.

330
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:54,000
For best choice of seats, we suggest you get your tickets as quickly as possible.

331
00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:01,000
The Stadium Advance Ticket Office will be open for your convenience this afternoon until 5 p.m.

332
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:07,000
We'll have you people out driving, stop in and let's pause for station identification.

333
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Remember your dollars at $14.60, WOKO, first in Albany, New York.

334
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,000
The Troy Buick Roundup follows this game.

335
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:25,000
Here's Harry Simpson up for his second time.

336
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,000
He bounced out short to first in the first inning.

337
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:32,000
The curve is a little bit high, ball one.

338
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Yogi Beron-Dek.

339
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Best ball is ball two, a little bit high. Simpson started off with that pitch and just did hold up.

340
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Two balls, no strikes on Harry Simpson.

341
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Perfect day for baseball here at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland.

342
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:14,000
The curve is inside, ball three, three and nothing.

343
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,000
And Nalewski is behind the first batter here in the top of the third.

344
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:26,000
Harry Simpson, three balls and no strikes.

345
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Nalewski checks the sign from Dick Brown.

346
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:34,000
Here's the windup and the three-nothing pitch is low outside, ball four, he lost them.

347
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:39,000
He's got four pitches, Nalewski walks his second man and here's Yogi Beron.

348
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:46,000
He'll beat out an infield single in the first inning.

349
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:53,000
And then as he beats a throw to first base, he tripped and fell heavily on the ground.

350
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,000
But he's all right.

351
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,000
A little embarrassed, but feeling all right.

352
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Preston Ward holding first base against Harry Simpson.

353
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,000
The Indian infield and outfield shifted around towards right.

354
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Here's the first pitch to Yogi, strike one as Yogi squared around to bunt, took the pitch.

355
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Chico Taraskela, third, is playing in front of the bag near the edge of the infield grass.

356
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,000
Billy Harrell at shortstop, two steps close to second base.

357
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Avila in the hole between first and second.

358
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,000
And Ward holding the bag against Harry Simpson.

359
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,000
Here's the stretch, Simpson leads away.

360
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,000
The pitch is a fly ball to short right field.

361
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:41,000
Avila back, Colabito in, Colabito called for it, takes it for out number one.

362
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,000
One away as Yogi pops through Colabito and short right and here's Tony Kuback,

363
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:57,000
who flies to center field in the first inning.

364
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:02,000
The Yankee player sitting on the edge of the bench, soaking up some of the sunshine.

365
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:09,000
And we've really had real fine weather so far on this Western trip.

366
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000
Here's the stretch by Naliski.

367
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:15,000
The pitch to Kuback is bunted down to third base line, a good one, that's going to be a base hit.

368
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:23,000
No throw at all, a beautiful punt by Tony Kuback.

369
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:29,000
He caught, Taraskela flat-footed and Taraskela came in, picked the ball up, did not even throw the ball.

370
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,000
That's how perfect a bunt it was.

371
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,000
And now the Yankees have runners at first and second.

372
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Kuback at first, Simpson at second, one away.

373
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:48,000
And Mickey Mantle will beat out an infield single in the first inning to run his consecutive game hitting streak to 13 in a row.

374
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:52,000
Mick's not satisfied with the way he's hitting, even though he's hitting over 300.

375
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,000
He says he's getting too many of these leg hits.

376
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,000
He wants to hit them where they don't have to run.

377
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,000
The first pitch is a low foul ball down the left field line, but curving into the seats.

378
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:06,000
And out of play.

379
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:14,000
As a matter of fact, that ball just went on the playing field, not in fair territory.

380
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
And Manoso now looking over at the spot.

381
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,000
He either had a long run, I doubt if he could have got to the ball.

382
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,000
He plays Mickey a little over and lets set up.

383
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:27,000
But it fell in among the ground crew who were sitting just where the lower grandstand ends.

384
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,000
Here's the pitch to Mickey outside ball one, one-on-one.

385
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:41,000
And there is a low fence in front of the ground crew, which the ball landed in back of.

386
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:51,000
And so the wind, very little wind today, but when it gets above the stadium there is some wind blowing as we can see the flags.

387
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,000
The curve ball is low inside, ball two, two and one.

388
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:03,000
And Pappy Durkin just hands me the temperature and the wind velocity at 62 degrees and a 20 mile per hour wind.

389
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Now of course in this vast stadium we don't feel it.

390
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,000
We are completely covered by the stands and the walls and back of us.

391
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:18,000
But above the stadium the flags are flying and that foul ball when it got above the stadium was affected by the wind.

392
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:26,000
Pitch to Mickey outside ball three, three and one.

393
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Three balls, one strike, one hour and the top of the third no score in the ball game.

394
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Harry Simpson is down at second base over at first.

395
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Tony Kubek, the batter Mickey Mantle and on deck Gail McDougal.

396
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:53,000
Joe Ripley just got some information on that foul ball and I'll pass it along right after this pitch.

397
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:59,000
As Naleksi steps off the rubber we can tell you now Joe said that it is a separate box and it is not in play.

398
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:05,000
In other words the ball hit there is not in play even if you should catch it.

399
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,000
The player cannot go in there to catch the ball.

400
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:11,000
He can lean over the front as you do on any foul ball but you cannot go in in back of the seat.

401
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,000
Okay Joe, thank you. Here's the stretch.

402
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:20,000
The 3-1 pitch is a foul out of play this time definitely going back into the seats in the upper deck.

403
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:36,000
Full count on Mantle now three and two and let's see how manager Casey Stengel works this whether he'll have the runners going on a 3-2 pitch with only one out or whether he'll be playing it safe.

404
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:42,000
Frank Crisetti coaching at third gives some signs to Simpson and Kubek down at second and first.

405
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,000
Ralph Popover at first base.

406
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,000
Here's the stretch.

407
00:39:46,000 --> 00:40:00,000
They don't go the ball is swinging in the midst Frank Crisetti.

408
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Ray Naleksi comes through with a very important strike out but that time Casey Stengel's strategy did work.

409
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:11,000
He did not have the runners going and Simpson would have been thrown out.

410
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:21,000
Not definitely but he did not take a big lead at second base and had he been running with Mickey striking out it could have been a double play.

411
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:34,000
So now it's two out. Naleksi has three strikeouts on the day so far and here's Gil McDougall who walked in the first inning.

412
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:41,000
Naleksi stretches. Pitch to Gil is a swing and a foul back off the chest protector of plate umpire Ed Hurley.

413
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Ben Ricochet back and hit Dick Brown on the back of his head.

414
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,000
Dick rubs his head gently.

415
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:55,000
These foul balls are dangerous today.

416
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:05,000
One strike on McDougall on deck Jerry Lumpy.

417
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:12,000
Stretch by Naleksi. The pitch is inside as Gil started to step in and then had to really lean out of the way of that high inside fastball.

418
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:20,000
One on one.

419
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Yankee bullpen and Cleveland bullpens are deep in left center field and right center field and back of the temporary fence.

420
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:31,000
There's a curve outside ball two, two and one.

421
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:36,000
And they have a car here at municipal stadium. They always have had.

422
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:42,000
When a relief pitcher is due to come in the car goes and picks them up although the Yankees do not use it.

423
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,000
The Cleveland Indian pitchers use it in right center field.

424
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Big cinder path runs all around the park.

425
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Pitch to Gil is high ball three, three and one.

426
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Naleksi thought he had that pitch.

427
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,000
Little put out out there on the mound.

428
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:03,000
Three balls one strike on McDougall. Two out top of the third no score.

429
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Yankees have runners at first and second.

430
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Elston leads off second. Kubek off first.

431
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,000
Naleksi into a stretch position.

432
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Three one pitch is high ball four. He lost them.

433
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,000
And the bases are loaded.

434
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,000
Walk number three issued by Ray Naleksi.

435
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:45,000
And here's Jerry Lumpy who bounced out with the bases loaded in the first inning, second to first.

436
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:53,000
On deck Elston Howard.

437
00:42:53,000 --> 00:43:01,000
Simpson at third. Kubek at second. McDougall at first. Two away.

438
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,000
First pitch to Lumpy. Is it swing and a line drive to left field.

439
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:13,000
Minimanoto back under it. Takes it for half number three.

440
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,000
And for the Yankees in the top of the third no runs one hit.

441
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,000
No Indian errors and three men left on base.

442
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,000
The score at the end of two and a half innings.

443
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,000
The Yankees nothing and the Indians nothing.

444
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:32,000
It's a big moment on an automobile assembly line when a high compression engine is mounted into the chassis.

445
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:39,000
And when you see the size of that engine today you know it will need a lot of fuel power to keep the car on the go.

446
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:48,000
Now that's exactly why Atlantic Refining has developed a super octane gasoline specially designed to power today's high compression cars.

447
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,000
It's Atlantic Imperial by name.

448
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:56,000
Atlantic Imperial gasoline provides that high compression engine with all the power it will ever need.

449
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,000
Together they work in harmony smoothly and powerfully.

450
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,000
Modern gasoline, modern car engine.

451
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:05,000
And give you that power make travel. Acceleration without hesitation.

452
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,000
And long, long mileage.

453
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:12,000
Atlantic Imperial, the gasoline that provides this power made drive 58.

454
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:19,000
See your Atlantic feeler. Remember, travel safely everywhere.

455
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Bottom of the third inning. First game of a Sunday double header.

456
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,000
Cleveland Indians entertaining the New York Yankees.

457
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:32,000
The Yankees are in the top of the third no runs.

458
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,000
The game continues.

459
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:38,000
The Yankees are hit next. Curved ball is fouled at the plate as he tries to check his swing.

460
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:44,000
The ball just hit the end of his bat. One and one.

461
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:51,000
Maris is 6 feet tall, 197 pounds from Hibbings, Minnesota. Now lives in Fargo, North Dakota.

462
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,000
Last year about a 235.

463
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:57,000
The sidearm fastball is a swing and a miss and the let go of the bat.

464
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:03,000
And it hits a double hit. It hits Ed Hurley in the right hand and Yogi Berrin back of the head.

465
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:07,000
Roger Maris let go of that bat. I've never quite seen that before.

466
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:13,000
I've seen players let go of bats and they've sailed into the stands or into the clubhouse or into the dugout.

467
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:17,000
But this one he let go of follow through.

468
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:21,000
It came all the way back, hit Ed Hurley in his right hand, ricocheted off Yogi's head.

469
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,000
Fortunately it hit Yogi in the head.

470
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,000
If it hit him any other place he might have been hurt.

471
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,000
It's a one ball two strike pitch outside ball two, two and two.

472
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,000
I'm only kidding though.

473
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,000
Yogi in his head.

474
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:41,000
That's if his wife's listening and it hit Ed Hurley right on the forefinger of his right hand.

475
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:49,000
Here's a two-two pitch. Curved ball low, full count, three and two.

476
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,000
That's the strike finger hit that Joe.

477
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,000
Now Roger Maris wants some rosin.

478
00:45:53,000 --> 00:46:00,000
Reminds me of Dominic DiMaggio who always let go of the bat, not always but more often than any other player.

479
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:04,000
Dominic always carried a rosin bag in his back pocket.

480
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,000
All right here's the payoff pitch to Maris.

481
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:12,000
A foul down the left field line and out of play. Count holds it three and two.

482
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,000
Different players use different methods of getting a good grip on that bat.

483
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,000
Some of them use a little tar and rosin to make it sticky.

484
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,000
Some of them use oil and rosin.

485
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,000
That's what Joe D used to use, oil mixed with rosin.

486
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,000
Side on fifth, well it's hit on one hop to shortstop Kovac.

487
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,000
Nice play by Tony. Throw to first for out number one.

488
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:37,000
A nice play by Tony Kovac who caught that ball on a short hop right against his stomach.

489
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:43,000
He blocked the ball well and then threw to first for the out.

490
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:48,000
One away and here's Ray Naleski.

491
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:52,000
Head early showing his finger to Yogi Berrin and showing where it hit off his chest protector

492
00:46:52,000 --> 00:47:00,000
and bounced and hit Yogi up the back of his head.

493
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,000
One man out here in the last of the third, no score.

494
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,000
Nothing, nothing in the ball game.

495
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:12,000
Naleski, right-hand hitter, takes a curve in there, strike one.

496
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:19,000
Naleski is batting 0-59, he's one for 17.

497
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,000
Another curve is hit slowly down to third.

498
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,000
Jerry Lumpy on one big hop takes it.

499
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,000
By at the first, that's out number two.

500
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:33,000
Two away and a bat of Billy Harrell who was hit by a pitch ball on his right foot in the first inning.

501
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:52,000
Now we'll hear from Norristown, Pennsylvania, now lives in Troy, New York.

502
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:58,000
Right-hand hitter, first pitch by Yogi Ford is a curve, strike one on the outside corner.

503
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:11,000
On deck, Bobby Avila.

504
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,000
Eddie Stanky coaching at third, red crest down at first.

505
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,000
Curve ball is strike two.

506
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:24,000
He started to swing check it but he went far enough.

507
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Eddie the Brat Stanky down at third base.

508
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,000
Here's a two-strike pitch to Harrell.

509
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:48,000
Low ball, one, one ball, two strikes.

510
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,000
Two out, nobody on here in the last of the third.

511
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:59,000
Whitey Ford into the windup, fast ball is hit on the line into center field for a base hit.

512
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,000
And that's the first base hit off Whitey Ford, a solid single at center field.

513
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,000
That's Billy Harrell down at first base.

514
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:15,000
And here's Bobby Avila who flied to right field in the first inning.

515
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:28,000
Roberto Francisco Avila, born at Veracruz, Mexico.

516
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:33,000
In 1954 led the American League in hitting with an average of 3.41 since then.

517
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,000
He has not regained his batting eye.

518
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:40,000
Right-hand batter wearing a golf glove on his left hand.

519
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,000
Takes a curve high outside ball one.

520
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:49,000
Lots of players have been doing that now wearing golf gloves on their right hand hitting their left hand,

521
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,000
a left hand hitting their right hand.

522
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:59,000
Keeps them from getting these big calluses and also if they have a tender hand absorbs some of the shock.

523
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:04,000
Pitch to Bobby, the curve hits foul down the third base line, just foul.

524
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:08,000
Little ball boy kicks the ball around a little bit down the left hairline.

525
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,000
One ball, one strike.

526
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:15,000
That's a big thrill for these youngsters to be ball boys at any big league park.

527
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,000
They have a regular Cleveland uniform on.

528
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:23,000
Sit on a little stool down the right field corner and left field corner.

529
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:24,000
Here's the 1-1 pitch.

530
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,000
Fastball hit.

531
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,000
Foul, just foul.

532
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:33,000
Oh man, that ball was fouled by a quarter of an inch.

533
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:41,000
It actually hit the foul line about a foot in front of third base and just kicked to the left of the bag.

534
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:46,000
Now a ball does not have to hit on the ground in back of third base to be a fair ball.

535
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:53,000
If that ball had hit in fair territory and then just went over a corner of the bag and still landed in foul territory,

536
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,000
it would have been a fair ball.

537
00:50:55,000 --> 00:51:00,000
But Joe Papparello, the third base umpire, standing right on the line, had perfect view of the ball,

538
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:04,000
saw that the ball did not go over any part of the bag before it hit in foul territory.

539
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,000
Called it right away.

540
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,000
One ball, two strikes on Avella.

541
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:11,000
Court stretches.

542
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:12,000
Howell leads off first.

543
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,000
There goes the runner.

544
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:14,000
The pitch is swung and a missed strike.

545
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,000
Three.

546
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,000
And that howell can go down that line.

547
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,000
It's a strikeout.

548
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:22,000
Strikeout number two for Whitey Ford for the Indians in the last of the third.

549
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,000
No runs.

550
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:24,000
One hit.

551
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:25,000
No Yankees errors.

552
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:26,000
One man left.

553
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,000
The score at the end of three full innings.

554
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:33,000
The Yankees nothing and the Indians nothing.

555
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,000
And let's take another look at the scoreboard.

556
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,000
All the other games start later in the American League.

557
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,000
Washington at Detroit a double header.

558
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,000
Baltimore at Kansas City a single game.

559
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,000
And Boston at Chicago a double header.

560
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,000
They start just a little bit later on.

561
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:51,000
In the National League, St. Louis at Cincinnati in the first of two, nothing, nothing at the end of one.

562
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:56,000
Brosnan against Harabi.

563
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,000
Chicago at Milwaukee a double header.

564
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:03,000
The starting pitches in the first game, Phillips against Trowbridge.

565
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:10,000
Trowbridge Phillips a former brave now with the Cubs.

566
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,000
LA at Philadelphia have not started.

567
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,000
And San Francisco at Pittsburgh at the end of four.

568
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,000
Pittsburgh two to Giants one.

569
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:20,000
Gomez against Lowe.

570
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:37,000
Now we're ready to go here in the top of the fourth inning in this nothing, nothing ball game,

571
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:41,000
a pitches duel between Ray Narleski and Whitey Ford.

572
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:55,000
And for the Yankees, Elston Howard who popped to the catcher in the second inning leading off.

573
00:52:55,000 --> 00:53:09,000
First pitch to Howard is inside ball one.

574
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,000
The fastball is fouled at the plate.

575
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:16,000
Strike one, one ball one strike.

576
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:20,000
Correction on the pronunciation of the pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, it's Rabe.

577
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:26,000
I said Robbie, it's spelled R-A-B-E pronounced Rabe.

578
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:30,000
That was courtesy of Til Ferdinand of the Journal American.

579
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:35,000
There's a foul in the upper deck.

580
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:40,000
The Yankees didn't try to check his swing but the ball hit his back and just ricocheted back into the seats.

581
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,000
One ball two strikes on Howard.

582
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:47,000
On deck Mark Throneberry.

583
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:54,000
The Yankees and the Indians here at Big Municipal Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio.

584
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,000
Right off Lake Erie, the lake right in back of us.

585
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:04,000
There's a curveball just outside ball two, two and two.

586
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:12,000
One of the reasons this is such unusual weather, being so close to the lake at this time of the year we usually get real cold weather.

587
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:15,000
But it is a beautiful day here at Municipal Stadium.

588
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,000
Here's a two-two pitch.

589
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:20,000
Another foul back.

590
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:26,000
Now it holds at two and two.

591
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:31,000
I wonder if they got any statistics for a record number of foul balls hit in one game.

592
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:38,000
I doubt it why they'd want to keep it except the owners to see how many baseballs they lose.

593
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:44,000
So far in three full innings we've had an awful amount.

594
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:53,000
More than I've ever seen in such short time.

595
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,000
Ray Norlesky ready now.

596
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:59,000
The pitch to Howard is a grind ball, a high hop, a harrow coming in a short.

597
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,000
Throws the first in time for the out.

598
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,000
That was a nice play by Billy Harrell.

599
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,000
It was a high Baltimore shot.

600
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,000
Harrell had it come charging in and the dead run.

601
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:08,000
Pick it up and fired a first.

602
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,000
Just didn't hit.

603
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:11,000
Elston Howard went away.

604
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:28,000
Here's Mark Throneberry who struck out in the second inning.

605
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:32,000
The slow curve is hit.

606
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,000
Between first and second out to right field a base hit for Mark Throneberry.

607
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,000
Rocky Colavito up with the ball.

608
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:44,000
And Throneberry is on with a single.

609
00:55:44,000 --> 00:56:07,000
And that's hit number four for the Yankees, Orton Norlesky.

610
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:14,000
He went away with Mark Throneberry at first base and the battle Whitey Ford.

611
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:24,000
And now they're looking into the Yankee dugout as Casey Stengel jumped up in the top step and hollered something.

612
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:29,000
Casey Stengel is pointing down to first base.

613
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:33,000
The Indian infield on the alert for a possible sacrifice attempt.

614
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:43,000
Whitey takes a pitch on the outside corner strike when he is squared around and is owed a bunt.

615
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:51,000
And they're taking something that was, perhaps Houch had, it could be Harry Simpson's glasses.

616
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,000
That's just what it is.

617
00:56:52,000 --> 00:57:01,000
Simpson when he gets on base gives his glasses to Houch and he forgot to retrieve them the last time after he had gone out to the outfield.

618
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,000
So Harry doesn't want to go up there at a disadvantage.

619
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:07,000
He sees better with the glasses and you've got to take all the breaks you can get.

620
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,000
All right the runner leaves away at first.

621
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:13,000
Whitey swings at the ball and sends a base hit between third and short.

622
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:18,000
Throneberry holds his second and Whitey's safe at first on a crossed up base hit.

623
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:21,000
Let me tell you what happened there.

624
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,000
Chico Carrasco was charging in at third.

625
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:30,000
Billy Harrell at short was coming in at the edge of the infield grass and Whitey faked a bunt and then just punched the ball.

626
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:36,000
What Casey Singel calls a put your boy swing between third and short out to left field for a base hit.

627
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,000
And the Yankee pitchers have really been crossing up the opposition this year.

628
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:46,000
That's about the fourth or fifth time that Casey has let the pitcher hit away when a bunt seemed to be in order.

629
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:51,000
And now the Yankees have runners at first and second with one away here in the top of the fourth in the bat of Harry Simpson.

630
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,000
Harry bounced out short to first and walked.

631
00:57:54,000 --> 00:58:16,000
The stretch point I left here to Pitcher Simpson is strike one a slider on the outside corner on deck Yogi Berra.

632
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:20,000
The stretch and a change up curve is in this strike two.

633
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:24,000
Beautiful change up curve nipped the inside corner.

634
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:29,000
Nothing in two to count on Harry Simpson with one away in the top of the fourth no score in the ball game.

635
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:33,000
Marv Throneberry down at second base Whitey forward at first.

636
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:39,000
You can tell it's a beautiful day Whitey didn't even ask for his jacket to put on.

637
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:46,000
The stretch the two strike pitch is swinging amidst strike three.

638
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:52,000
And I want to tell you you can see Narleski when he's in trouble put that little extra on that fastball.

639
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,000
Man he really fires it.

640
00:58:55,000 --> 00:59:01,000
That's strike out number four for Narleski.

641
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:10,000
And it brings up Yogi Berra who beat out an infield single in the first inning and flying to right in the third.

642
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:22,000
Two away now with runners at first and second.

643
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,000
Narleski into a stretch position.

644
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:29,000
This Yogi is a high fly deep to right field way back.

645
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:35,000
Narleski and it's a hard run for Yogi Berra.

646
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:43,000
And as Yogi saw the ball go over the fence he jumps up in the air and threw his arms up in the air.

647
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:48,000
The way Yogi's been going he figured Colavito was going to catch that ball.

648
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:58,000
Yogi Berra hits a three run home run off Ray Narleski with two out here in the top of the fourth inning.

649
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:04,000
And the Yankees now lead in the ball game three to nothing.

650
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,000
Colavito came close to catching that ball.

651
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:12,000
He went as far back as he could to the temporary fence that runs from left field over to right field.

652
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:18,000
Leaped high in the air and the ball just went over his glove.

653
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,000
Here's Tony Kubek.

654
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:23,000
Tony fouls the first pitch back out of play strike one.

655
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:37,000
Kubek fly to center and beat out a bunch one for two.

656
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:53,000
Frank Ricetti runs in a third and picks up an orange that fell down on the field.

657
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:57,000
One strike to count on Tony Kubek.

658
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,000
Narleski ready.

659
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:03,000
Foul just below a strike two.

660
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:08,000
And Joe Trimble gets one of the easiest fouls I've ever seen.

661
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:13,000
It hit the screen, bounced back up into the seats and rolled back.

662
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:20,000
Just missed John Jorberges head.

663
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:38,000
Two strike pitch inside, ball one, one ball and two strikes.

664
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,000
Wind up.

665
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:45,000
And the curveball foul just below it.

666
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:53,000
One ball and two strikes.

667
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,000
Yeah, they're shooting at us today, I tell you.

668
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:59,000
All balls are coming back hot and heavy.

669
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:03,000
Another supply for pay them fire out early.

670
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:11,000
One ball and two strikes.

671
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:30,000
The pitch is inside ball two, two and two.

672
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:38,000
Narleski checking the sign from Dick Brown.

673
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:43,000
The pitch is a slow curve, hits into left field, Mennie Minoso over to his right under it.

674
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:50,000
Takes it for number three and for the Yankees in the top of the fourth, three runs on three hits.

675
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:53,000
No Indian errors, nobody left the score at the end of three and a half innings.

676
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:58,000
The Yankees three and the Indians nothing.

677
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:03,000
Well now the driving season is reaching that point where it's best described as full swing.

678
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:07,000
You probably already stopped in to see an Atlantic dealer for a spring tire check.

679
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:09,000
Well you're planning to do so very shortly.

680
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,000
It's a mighty good idea too.

681
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:17,000
You see right now May through June, the Atlantic dealer is featuring a swing to safety tire sale.

682
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,000
Special sale prices on all new tires.

683
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:24,000
He has a full assortment of tires, white balls and black, jubilous types.

684
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,000
You may think your tires are in pretty good shape.

685
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:29,000
Well why not make sure, make absolutely sure.

686
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,000
You know good tires are such an important safety factor in your travel.

687
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:40,000
Stop by the Atlantic dealer, a fellow who's trained to check them over carefully and let you know just how good they are.

688
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:43,000
And if you should require replacements, now is the time to get them.

689
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:49,000
See your Atlantic dealer Monday or at your earliest convenience in the shopping days of the week,

690
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:56,000
swing to safety with that man who keeps your car happily super powerfully as economically on the go.

691
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,000
Atlantic and baseball, bottom of the fourth inning.

692
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,000
Yankees spring to the lead three to nothing.

693
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:03,000
Yogi's home run into right field.

694
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:09,000
Last to the fourth, Minosso, Preston Ward and Dick Brown, the third, fourth and fifth hitters in the order.

695
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:12,000
Swings in, misses at a curve ball, strike one.

696
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:30,000
Minosso with that open stance of his, his right foot almost in back or home plate. Another curve, this one bounces away from Barra for ball one, strike one.

697
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:42,000
Minosso forwards for station identification.

698
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:53,000
All Yankee baseball games are brought to you by Valentine Beer and Ale and Atlantic Gasoline exclusively in the Capital District over WOKO 1460 on the dial.

699
01:04:53,000 --> 01:05:01,000
On deck, Preston Ward.

700
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:05,000
The 2-1 pitch, a slow curve hit in left field, a line drive base hit.

701
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:10,000
Harry Simpson on one hop grabs it.

702
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:15,000
As Minie Minosso took that high slow curve right in his eyes and lined it in the left field.

703
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:31,000
Hit number two of Whitey Ford and here's Preston Ward who popped the short in the first inning.

704
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:37,000
Preston Ward a left hand hitter.

705
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:53,000
Stretched by four. Best ball is high, ball one.

706
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:57,000
Minosso leads off first. Sidearm first, well hit in the ground.

707
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:08,000
Mark Thornberry's got McDougall, throws to Ford for the out. A nice play by Gil McDougall, that play goes from three to four to one.

708
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:13,000
As Mark Thornberry got his glove on the ball.

709
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:20,000
He gets an assist on that play and Preston Ward is out and Minosso moving down to second base.

710
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:36,000
And the batter, Dick Brown who popped to McDougall at second base in the second inning.

711
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:40,000
Dick Brown a right hand batter.

712
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:49,000
Slightly open stance, not as much as Minosso but with his left foot back from his right foot, sort of facing the pitcher.

713
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:55,000
Curve is inside ball one. McDougall has given many a hard time on his second running him back.

714
01:06:55,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Minosso's a real good base runner.

715
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:11,000
Here's a stretch by Whitey.

716
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:28,000
The curve is hit through the middle out to center field, a base hit. Here's Minosso around third and he scores.

717
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:33,000
Dick Brown hits a single up the middle out to center field, scoring many Minosso from second base.

718
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:37,000
It's now a 3-1 ball game in favor of the Yankees.

719
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:48,000
And with one away, Dick Brown at first is Chico Carrasqueda who popped to first base in the second inning.

720
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:52,000
Brown looks like a pretty good hitter.

721
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:57,000
He's got four home runs already this year.

722
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:23,000
Since the Chico has hit, off fourth league and it's a base hit for Chico Carrasqueda.

723
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:30,000
That was a hot shot right back to the mound. Before Whitey could get his bat down, he hit him on the inside part of his left foot

724
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:37,000
and ricocheted over to third base. And before Lumpy could come up with the ball, Carrasqueda passed first down to second.

725
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:41,000
Dick Brown and the Indians have runners at first and second.

726
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:46,000
One man is out here in the left. To the fourth they have one run in. The Yankees lead 3-1.

727
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:58,000
Rocky Colavito, the boy from the Bronx, he's got a lot of power.

728
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:13,000
Third ball is outside in high ball one.

729
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:20,000
Here's a stretch. And the pitch, the curve is hit. Oh, down the left field line.

730
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:29,000
Back in the seat out play. Man, that was a vicious foul ball.

731
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:34,000
It looks like we're going to have a little action in the Yankee bullpen.

732
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:40,000
Art Ditmar gets the call. Start limbering up.

733
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:48,000
Three solid base hits off Whitey and so K.P. Stengel taking no chances.

734
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:54,000
Curve is in the dirt. Yogi blocks it nicely. Ball two, two and one.

735
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:58,000
Man, we not only got a big crowd today, we got a noisy crowd here.

736
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:09,000
They're really whooping it up.

737
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:13,000
The ball stretches. A 2-1 pitch. Low curve hit.

738
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:16,000
Trev and McDougal up with it.

739
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:20,000
First to first in time to get Colavito. A nice play.

740
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:24,000
Rocky hit that ball right off the end of his bat and it's squibbed by Ford.

741
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:29,000
McDougal playing it back at second. Had a run in. Scoop it up and throw to first.

742
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:34,000
Both runners advanced. There are men at second and third.

743
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:39,000
Two out in the bat of Roger Maris. Maris bounced out short to first in the third inning.

744
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:10,000
Roger Maris, a left hand hitter. Whitey, Ford on the mound. Into his windup.

745
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:29,000
And the curve ball is strike one as Maris stepped out of the way of the curve and it broke over.

746
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:37,000
Again, Ford into his windup. Curve is a little outside ball, 1-1-1.

747
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:42,000
There's action in the Indian bullpen too.

748
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:53,000
It's Joe Ripley's got to put the glasses on him. They're a mile away from here.

749
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:59,000
Here's the windup. Sidearm curve is low outside. Ball through 2-1-1.

750
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:17,000
Grant and Faresi warming up. Grant the right hander, Faresi the left hander.

751
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:25,000
Two balls and one strike to count on Roger Maris.

752
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:36,000
Here's the 2-1 pitch. Low outside, ball three, 3-1.

753
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:40,000
Rod Dittmar warming up all alone in the Yankee bullpen.

754
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:47,000
And Jim Mudcat Grant, a right hander. And Don Faresi, a left hander, warming up for the Indians.

755
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:55,000
Here's the windup. The 3-1 pitch. Outside, ball four, he lost them.

756
01:12:55,000 --> 01:13:00,000
The first walk given up by Whitey Ford and the bases are loaded.

757
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:11,000
Maris is down at first base. Kara Skellig second. Dick Brown over third.

758
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:16,000
And they're getting somebody from out of the bullpen.

759
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:21,000
Gary Geiger is running out to the bullpen.

760
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:30,000
And coming in from the bullpen, as a pinch hitter.

761
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:37,000
And J.W. Porter is coming on to pinch hit for Ray Lalesky.

762
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:42,000
J.W. Porter, who was with the St. Louis Browns or Detroit Tigers.

763
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:47,000
He is a catcher and an outfielder, a right hand batter.

764
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:52,000
He's batting 250 so far for Cleveland. He's been up just four times with one base hit.

765
01:13:52,000 --> 01:14:13,000
He has one run battered in.

766
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:20,000
J.W. Porter, a right hand hitter, comes on to pinch hit for Ray Lalesky.

767
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:32,000
And for Lalesky, he went four innings, giving up six hits, walk three, struck out four, and allowed three runs.

768
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:36,000
So here's Porter digging in with the bases loaded and two out.

769
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:40,000
The Yankees leading 3-1 here in the last of the quarter.

770
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:43,000
The curve is hit on the ground and shot.

771
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:48,000
Go back to McGoogle for out number three for the Indians in the last of the fourth.

772
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:51,000
One run on three base hits. No Yankee.

773
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,000
Eris Freeman left the score at the end of four.

774
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:57,000
The Yankees three, the Indians one, and now Joe Ripley.

775
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:59,000
Okay, Phil, let's run down the scores.

776
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:06,000
The American League first, a single game, Baltimore, Kansas City has not yet got underway.

777
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:13,000
Boston at Chicago, a double header, first game it will be Bauman against Dunovan.

778
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:22,000
Two games in Detroit, Washington in Detroit, first game Kemmerer against Bunning, no score there yet.

779
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:26,000
In the National League, St. Louis plays a double header at Cincinnati,

780
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:29,000
and in the first game at the end of an inning and a half,

781
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:37,000
for St. Louis 2, Cincinnati nothing, Brosnan and Raid.

782
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:42,000
Chicago at Milwaukee playing two games.

783
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:49,000
First game, Batteries Phillips for Chicago and Crowbridge for Milwaukee.

784
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:53,000
The Dodgers play Philadelphia, nothing there yet.

785
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:57,000
And San Francisco plays a double header at Pittsburgh.

786
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:01,000
Second game, at the end of five full innings, it's all tied up 2-2.

787
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:13,000
Gomez going for San Francisco and Law going for Pittsburgh.

788
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:16,000
Now that will be over in just a moment.

789
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:23,000
Give you the play-by-play here at Municipal Stadium Cleveland.

790
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:28,000
Beautiful day, still sunshiny, bright, warm, blue sky.

791
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:34,000
Weatherman this morning had said something about the weather turning rainy,

792
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:40,000
but so far there's certainly no sign of that here.

793
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:46,000
First batter up for the Yankees, who lead by a score of 3-1.

794
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:51,000
The first batter will be Mickey Mantle.

795
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,000
Now here's Mel.

796
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:58,000
And as we get ready to move into the first half of the fifth inning,

797
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:02,000
your host is Ballantine Beer, the CRISPR professor.

798
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:04,000
Enjoy a glass of Ballantine Beer along with the game.

799
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:10,000
It's icily light, smooth and delicious, precisely right.

800
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:17,000
Don Floresse coming in to pitch for the Indians.

801
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:22,000
The left-hander that went to the ninth inning once against the Yankees

802
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:29,000
with a no-hitter in his grasp and lost it then.

803
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:34,000
Mickey Mantle, one for two,

804
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:38,000
standing right-handed against the left-handed pitching, Floresse.

805
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:53,000
The left-hander throws and it's in there for a strike.

806
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:59,000
In comes the next pitch and it's over, strike two.

807
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:09,000
There is nothing in two, this is his eighth appearance.

808
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,000
No balls, two strikes and the pitch.

809
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:18,000
Swung on it, missed, strike three.

810
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,000
One away.

811
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:28,000
And here's Gil McDougal, who twice has walked.

812
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:30,000
Jerry Lompe to follow.

813
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:42,000
Three to one, New York, first half of the fifth inning.

814
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:57,000
Don Floresse delivers, McDougal takes it inside, ball one.

815
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:16,000
The next pitch is inside, ball two.

816
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:24,000
A do-nothing pitch to Gil, right over, strike one.

817
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:30,000
Raynard Lesky worked the first four innings, allowed six hits and three runs.

818
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:32,000
Walked three and strike out four.

819
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:39,000
Buried a three-run homer with two out in the fourth inning.

820
01:19:39,000 --> 01:20:00,000
Next pitch, swung on and missed, strike two, two-two.

821
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:11,000
The two-two pitch, ball three inside.

822
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:18,000
Ferressi had an 11-5 record for Vancouver last year and won one in Baltimore.

823
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:20,000
Now the delivery.

824
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:29,000
It's low inside for ball four and McDougal walks for the third straight time.

825
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:37,000
Into the plate comes Jerry Lompe, who grounded the second and lined the left.

826
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:52,000
Alston Howard on deck.

827
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:55,000
The delivery to Jerry, swung on, it's a high fly ball to the center.

828
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:59,000
Ferressi getting back, flips the glasses down and makes the catch.

829
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:05,000
McDougal, a little better than a half-way to second, retreats to first.

830
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:10,000
Two men down and Alston Howard steps in, fouled out the catcher and grounded a short.

831
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:29,000
Three to one New York, it's the fifth inning.

832
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:33,000
Ferressi checks with Dick Brown.

833
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:46,000
The pitch is a little outside, ball one.

834
01:21:46,000 --> 01:22:06,000
Left hander ready, in comes the pitch, swung on, it missed, strike one, one and one.

835
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:33,000
The pitch is over the inside corner, strike two, one and two.

836
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:38,000
The ball two strikes.

837
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:41,000
Here's the pitch, swung on, it missed, strike three.

838
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:47,000
And down Ferressi turns in a fine bit of pitching here in the fifth inning in relief.

839
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:52,000
No runs, no hits, no errors and one man left on.

840
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:59,000
At the end of four and a half innings, the score remains the Yankees three and the Indians one.

841
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:04,000
After all these years, you know, there's nothing I enjoy more than a good baseball game.

842
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:15,000
The action, the thrills, the cumulative things that just build up to the various climaxes in one game or a series really makes the sport great.

843
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:18,000
Just like Ballantine's got everything that makes a beer great.

844
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:21,000
No wonder it's called the Crisp Professor.

845
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:29,000
Ballantine beer is icily light, crisply clear, smooth and downright delicious as a beer can be.

846
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:36,000
Just lift a glass to your lips and you'll see what we all mean when we say Ballantine beer is the Crisp Professor.

847
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:44,000
From that frothy white head to the last lively golden swallow, Ballantine beer has really got what you want in beer.

848
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:49,000
So look for the three ring sign, make the three ring sign and ask the man for Ballantine.

849
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:54,000
Ballantine beer, enjoy the Crisp Professor.

850
01:23:54,000 --> 01:24:09,000
It's the last half of the fifth inning and the top of the Indian order, Billy Harrell, Bobby Avila and Manny Minoso.

851
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:15,000
Harrell's at one for one, the pitch is outside, ball one.

852
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:21,000
What a bunt to bring Lumpy in a little.

853
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:28,000
Forward into the windup and the pitch is low, ball two.

854
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:39,000
Whitey has not been too sharp today.

855
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:57,000
The two-nothing delivery is high, ball three.

856
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:02,000
The three-nothing pitch inside ball four.

857
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:07,000
Harrell walks.

858
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:20,000
Out of the plate comes Bobby Avila who flied to right and struck out.

859
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:34,000
Indian fans start that rhythmic applause again.

860
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:43,000
The three forward ready and the pitch, it's high, ball one.

861
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:52,000
Whitey's fighting out there to regain his control touch.

862
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:56,000
The left-hander sets, delivers inside, ball two.

863
01:25:56,000 --> 01:26:01,000
Six straight pitches that have failed to hit the strike zone.

864
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:19,000
And Turner signals to the bullpen for our dip mar to get up again.

865
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:38,000
Two balls, no strikes and the pitch, it's over two and one.

866
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:55,000
And the next delivery, over, strike two, two-two.

867
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:58,000
Two balls, two strikes.

868
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:01,000
Curve ball is looped out in the right field for a face hit.

869
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:04,000
There goes Harrell stopping at second.

870
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:09,000
He rounded it and then came right back quickly as Howard threw in.

871
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:13,000
And the Indians have runners on first and second, nobody out.

872
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:23,000
And Mindy Minoso coming up.

873
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:28,000
Art Ditmar warming up for the Yankees.

874
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:32,000
Preston Ward's on deck, Dick Brown to follow.

875
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:39,000
Minoso grounded to short and single to left.

876
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:44,000
Two on, nobody out.

877
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:51,000
Forward to the stretch, pitch to Minny, outside, ball one.

878
01:27:51,000 --> 01:28:00,000
Throneberry is in close at first.

879
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:05,000
Here's the delivery and it's in there for a strike, one and one.

880
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:09,000
And now Minoso has another look at Eddie Stanky.

881
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:11,000
The take was on on the last pitch.

882
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:19,000
One ball, one strike.

883
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:22,000
Billy Harrell on second, Vilon first.

884
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,000
They've got speed on the bases and power at the plate.

885
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:30,000
Three to one New York, fifth inning.

886
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:32,000
Ford again to the stretch.

887
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:35,000
Throw to second and the runner's back.

888
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:37,000
Pickoff effort.

889
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:38,000
White hit it, whirled and threw to the bag.

890
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:41,000
McDougall jumped over and grabbed it.

891
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:49,000
He was deployed over toward the bag with a full hitter up.

892
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:51,000
Again the stretch by Ford.

893
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:52,000
Here's the pitch.

894
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:54,000
He's sprung on and bowled back out of play.

895
01:28:54,000 --> 01:29:03,000
Strike two.

896
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:12,000
One ball, two strikes.

897
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:20,000
Casey backs Throneberry up now.

898
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:22,000
A one-two count on Minny.

899
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:25,000
Ford into the stretch and the pitch.

900
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:28,000
Swung on, hit bowled on the first baseline.

901
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:48,000
Count remains one and two.

902
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:50,000
Again the stretch by White.

903
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:52,000
The two runners lead away.

904
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:53,000
Here's the pitch.

905
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:56,000
Minosa takes high.

906
01:29:56,000 --> 01:30:13,000
Slow curve, two-two.

907
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:14,000
The stretch by Ford.

908
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:16,000
Here's the delivery.

909
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:19,000
Swung on, it's a pop-up to third.

910
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:21,000
And the infield fly rule is called.

911
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:23,000
The batter is automatically out.

912
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:25,000
The umpire has had a delay a little bit on the call

913
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:27,000
because so close to the line,

914
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:30,000
it must be a fair ball for an infield fly rule to be invoked.

915
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:39,000
If it's a foul, the infield fly rule does not prevail.

916
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:40,000
The rule of course which says,

917
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:43,000
this is for the newer fans and with runners on first and second

918
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:46,000
or first, second and third,

919
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:48,000
less than two out if the batter hits a pop-up,

920
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:51,000
which in the judgment of the umpires can be handled by an infielder,

921
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:53,000
the batter is automatically out.

922
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:55,000
But it must be a fair ball, that's why they had to wait.

923
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:57,000
Here's Preston Ward.

924
01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:04,000
Left-hand batter takes high and inside, ball one.

925
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:11,000
Ward flying to left and grounded to McDougall.

926
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:14,000
Carroll on second, Avila on first.

927
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:20,000
Whitey Ford's pitch, curve, is swung on foul, back out of play.

928
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:33,000
A one-one count on Preston Ward.

929
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:38,000
One ball, one strike.

930
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:43,000
Ward to the stretch, a look around, and the pitch.

931
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:53,000
Outside, ball two, two and one.

932
01:31:53,000 --> 01:32:01,000
A two-one count on the first baseman.

933
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:04,000
Ward again to the stretch, a look around to two runners, and the pitch.

934
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:12,000
Swung on, a looping foul, a third, and it's out of play.

935
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:33,000
A two-two count.

936
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:37,000
McDougall's two strikes went out, Carroll leads off second, Avila off first.

937
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:43,000
Whitey Ford pitches, Preston Ward swings and misses, strike three.

938
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:47,000
Two men out, and Dick Brown coming up.

939
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:53,000
He's at one for two.

940
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:55,000
He's a good hitter.

941
01:32:55,000 --> 01:33:08,000
A six-foot, 275-pounder, 23 years old, from Herb Scores, hometown, Lake Worth, Florida.

942
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:10,000
Herb originally is from New York.

943
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:11,000
He was a kid.

944
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:18,000
He moved to Lake Worth.

945
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:31,000
New York, two out, two on.

946
01:33:31,000 --> 01:33:51,000
Whitey into the stretch, and the pitch, swung on and missed, strike one.

947
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:57,000
Dick Brown at the plate, Aron on second, Avila on first.

948
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:01,000
Forward to the stretch, and here's the delivery.

949
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:10,000
Swung on, a bouncer hits the third, Lumpy takes it, steps on third for the four-side of Harrell, and the side's retired.

950
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:15,000
No runs, one hit, no errors, two men left on.

951
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:20,000
And at the end of five innings of play, the Yankees three runs, six hits, no errors, seven left on.

952
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:24,000
The Indians one-one-five hits, no errors, and seven men left on base.

953
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:36,000
We pause for station identification.

954
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:40,000
All Yankee football games brought to you by Valentine Beer and Ale and the Atlantic Gasoline,

955
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:53,000
exclusively in the capitalistic OVOK 01460 on the dial, first in Albany, New York, five minutes after three.

956
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:55,000
And that's pretty music, huh?

957
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:58,000
And Valentine makes pretty music, too.

958
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:00,000
And at this, Professor.

959
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:05,000
And on the Valentine scoreboard, no report Baltimore-Candace City is yet one game.

960
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:09,000
Chicago leads Boston one-to-nothing, ten to the first inning.

961
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:11,000
Donovan against Bauman.

962
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:14,000
Washington leads Detroit one-to-nothing, ten to the first inning.

963
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:16,000
Kemmerer and Funning, they're playing double-headers.

964
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:20,000
Washington will be at the stadium Friday for the holiday double-header.

965
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:25,000
National League, Cardinals four, Cincinnati one, ten to three innings, Brosnan and Rabe.

966
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:30,000
Chicago, Milwaukee, no score, end of two innings, Phillips and Trowbridge.

967
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:31,000
And they're playing double-headers.

968
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:35,000
Los Angeles and Philadelphia, rained out, single game.

969
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:38,000
San Francisco at Pittsburgh, 2-2 at the end of six innings.

970
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:53,000
As for San Francisco, a lot for Pittsburgh, but Blackburn has come on in the seventh.

971
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:58,000
As we move into the sixth inning, Marv Throneberry hitting eighth in the orders,

972
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:09,000
24 to follow, and then Harry Simpson, who's in the leadoff spot.

973
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:17,000
And Don Foresse, a left-hander who relieved Nileski at last inning,

974
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:25,000
into the windup and the pitch to Throneberry is in there for a strike.

975
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:29,000
The outfield playing Throneberry straight away, well spread out,

976
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:46,000
protecting the foul lines as much as possible, and the pitch, it's high, ball one, one and one.

977
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:49,000
One ball, one strike.

978
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:56,000
And the one-one pitch, look out, high and inside, gets away from Brown to the screen.

979
01:36:56,000 --> 01:37:15,000
A 2-1 count on Throneberry.

980
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:19,000
Foresse into the windup, in comes the pitch, Throneberry swings and fouls it on the ground

981
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:22,000
over to the right of the plate near the Indian dugout.

982
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:37,000
A 2-2 count.

983
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:40,000
Two balls, two strikes.

984
01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:44,000
Foresse pitches and Throneberry takes it outside into the dirt.

985
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:57,000
Ball bounces back to the screen, 3-2.

986
01:37:57,000 --> 01:38:13,000
Full count on Marv.

987
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:17,000
New York 3, Cleveland 1, sixth inning.

988
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:21,000
Three balls, two strikes.

989
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:24,000
Don Foresse checking with Dick Brown.

990
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:29,000
Swings to the windup, around comes the left arm, the pitch is inside for ball four.

991
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:33,000
Throneberry walks.

992
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:37,000
That's the second pass given up by Foresse.

993
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:41,000
And Whitey Ford wanders up to the plate, struck out and single to left.

994
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:43,000
It helped to keep a rally alive.

995
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:47,000
It was climaxed in the fourth inning by Yogi Berra's three-run homer.

996
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:50,000
Throneberry had singled his run out in the fourth.

997
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:55,000
Ford singled and with two down, Berra hit the home run.

998
01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:57,000
Whitey has his look at Frank Presetti.

999
01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:00,000
Chico Kairoskala, third, moves in close.

1000
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:03,000
Preston Moore holding against Throneberry.

1001
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:10,000
Foresse pitches, Ford takes it inside for ball.

1002
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:18,000
He almost offered at it.

1003
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:22,000
And the delivery, Bunt it, and Ward will make his play to second base.

1004
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:27,000
For one, they throw back to first and he gets away from Abela and in the Indians' dugout,

1005
01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:30,000
and Ford goes down to second.

1006
01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:36,000
Carroll threw the ball away, trying to double up Ford at first with Abela covering.

1007
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:42,000
And Bunt, for the attempted sacrifice, it resulted in a force out at second.

1008
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:54,000
Throneberry wore it to Harrell, whose throw then to Abela, covering, to try and double Ford,

1009
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:59,000
was low, bounded by Abela and an Indian dugout, and the ground rule prevailed,

1010
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:04,000
and Ford was motioned on to second.

1011
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:10,000
Here's Harry Simpson, who grounded a short, walked, and struck out.

1012
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:14,000
Don Foresse to the stretch, the pitch to Simpson, high and inside.

1013
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:20,000
So the effect of the attempted sacrifice actually took place,

1014
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:26,000
but with Ford on second instead of Throneberry, they'd rather have had Ford in the dugout resting.

1015
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:44,000
And to there, Bridget Simpson, inside, ball two.

1016
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:59,000
And here's the pitch to Harry, and it's over for a strike, two and one.

1017
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:04,000
Two balls, one strike, and the pitch, swung on, there's the loop over short to left for a base hit,

1018
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:09,000
but Ford, Ford's being waved in and he couldn't pick the ball up and throws too late.

1019
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:12,000
And Ford scores.

1020
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:21,000
It was a single to short left, but Noera is charged on the play,

1021
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:34,000
although many had trouble picking the ball up, and Ford was going to stop at third and then throw-waved him on.

1022
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:50,000
Now right of it, double check. Noera. Noera.

1023
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:58,000
Ford to one, New York.

1024
01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:05,000
Yogi Berra steps in, he's at two for three, a single and a three-run homer.

1025
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:21,000
Feressi's pitch, low, ball one, Yogi checked his swing.

1026
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:28,000
And the pitch, swung on, hit by first to right field for a base hit, but Simpson stops at second.

1027
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:33,000
Colabito cuts loose with his good throw, cut off by Billy Harrell.

1028
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:37,000
Berra gets his third hit, single to right.

1029
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:43,000
Tony Kubek steps in, fly to center, beat out of front to third, fly to left.

1030
01:42:43,000 --> 01:43:12,000
The Indian bullpen gets the call.

1031
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:28,000
Don Feressi, ready to work to Tony Kubek.

1032
01:43:28,000 --> 01:43:43,000
Another pitch, outside, ball one.

1033
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:53,000
Next pitch is swung on and fouled off. Bob Lemmon's up and throwing.

1034
01:43:53,000 --> 01:44:03,000
Kelly and Lemmon warming up. Bob Kelly and Bob Lemmon. Lemmon was reinstated yesterday, he'd been on the disabled list.

1035
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:17,000
Gerald Hardy was put on the disabled list after suffering attack of appendicitis.

1036
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:25,000
One ball, one strike on Kubek. One run in on the sixth inning, 4-1 New York. Simpson on second and Berra on first.

1037
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:48,000
Don Feressi to the stretch. And the 1-1 pitch, swung on, hit foul, back a third out of play.

1038
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:59,000
One ball, two strikes.

1039
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:16,000
Feressi's pitch, curve ball low outside, 2-2.

1040
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:23,000
A 2-2 count.

1041
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:35,000
Don Feressi into the stretch once more. Here's the pitch to Kubek, swung on, hit back to the box. Feressi throws to Harrell for one, back to first double play.

1042
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:49,000
And the side's retired. One run, two hits, one error, and one left on. And the score's down to five and a half innings of play. The Yankees four, the Indians one.

1043
01:45:49,000 --> 01:46:05,000
Valentine's beer is a crisp refresher. And we will tell you why. To be crisp, a beer must be ice-ly light, ice-ly light, ice-ly light.

1044
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:19,000
Smooth and delicious, it's ice-ly right, it's ice-ly right, it's ice-ly right. Lightly golden, freshly clear, it's a crisp refresher, it's a crisp refresher. Valentine, Valentine's beer.

1045
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:36,000
Hey, get your bottle. Hey, get your bottle. Hey, get your bottle. Hey, get your bottle. Hey, get your right hand's Valentine's beer.

1046
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:50,000
The only one thing, those boys really sing the story well. And what do you look for in a glass of beer? For smooth and delicious taste, the crisp refresher? Well, friends, that's precisely what you get in every single glass of Valentine's beer.

1047
01:46:50,000 --> 01:47:06,000
It's the crisp refresher. Last half of the sixth inning. Chico Carrascau, Rocky Colabito, and Roger Maris, first three men up. Six, seven, eight positions in the order.

1048
01:47:06,000 --> 01:47:21,000
Bob Lemma and Bob Kelly continue to warm up, so there's always the possibility of a pinch hitter for Foresse, who is fourth up in this inning if somebody gets bored.

1049
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:44,000
The Yankees will be home on Friday for the holiday doubleheader. After that, a two-game visit to Boston and back to New York to open a stand against the West starting Monday night, a make-up game of the Chicago White Sox, Monday night, June 2nd, Tuesday night, June 3rd, Wednesday afternoon, June 4th, and a doubleheader, June 5th, for the White Sox.

1050
01:47:44,000 --> 01:48:02,000
A doubleheader with these Indians awake from the day, or two weeks from today, rather, at the stadium. Board pitching now to Carrascau. Fast ball is high, ball one.

1051
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:16,000
A whine into the wind up delivers. Curve ball, and it's a little high, ball two, two and nothing.

1052
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:41,000
A two-nothing pitch to the right-hand hitter. Carrascau takes high and away, ball three. Whitey's been laboring out there today. His three-nothing pitch. It's inside, ball four, and Carrascau walks.

1053
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:54,000
Now Rocky Colabito moves up to the plate, and is struck out and grounded to second.

1054
01:48:54,000 --> 01:49:04,000
Third walk, issued by Ford. He's been having trouble ever since the third inning.

1055
01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:15,000
A pitch over the inside corner, strike one.

1056
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:25,000
Although he's only given up one run and five hits, he's been in frequent trouble.

1057
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:35,000
Check for the runner. A pitch inside, ball one, one and one.

1058
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:44,000
And now the Yankee bullpen gets called, and Ryan Duren gets up.

1059
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:55,000
Whitey delivers, swung on. There's a drive in the center, a manhole going over, and makes the catch in left center, a high liner. One down.

1060
01:49:55,000 --> 01:50:07,000
Roger Marist comes to bat, grounded to short and walk, left-hand hitter.

1061
01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:17,000
Colabito walking in the Indians' dugout, slams the water cooler.

1062
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:26,000
Last of the sixth, the Yanks for Indians one. Carrascau moves off first. A pitch to Marist, curve ball over, strike one.

1063
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:31,000
Casey's got Elston Howard playing way over to the right field line.

1064
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:39,000
Marist goes in the right center. Simpson almost straightaway left, leaving a big gap in left center.

1065
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:53,000
Whitey pitches, Marist takes fastball outside, and accounts one and one.

1066
01:50:53,000 --> 01:51:18,000
Ball one, strike. Whitey to the stretch. Carrascau leading away, and the pitch. Curve ball way outside, ball two, two and one.

1067
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:27,000
Whitey's been behind a lot of these batters, which in itself is proof he's not on his game, because when he's sharp, as most pitches are, they stay ahead of those hitters.

1068
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:32,000
Here's the delivery, swung on and grounded foul over toward the Indians' dugout.

1069
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:57,000
Count two, two now. Mann leaned over to try to get the ball, and hit just below his hand, and he missed it. Zick ricocheted back to the playing field.

1070
01:51:57,000 --> 01:52:07,000
Two balls, two strikes. Whitey into the stretch, then steps off the rubber. Marist steps out for a moment.

1071
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:12,000
Now he's back in, Whitey is back on, and Carrascau's back off of first.

1072
01:52:12,000 --> 01:52:24,000
A stretch by Ford, a look over Carrascau, the pitch is swung on, high fly ball to right. Elston Howard's under it and makes the catch.

1073
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:32,000
Carrascau retreating to first, two down, and Don Faresi is the scheduled batter.

1074
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:53,000
Lemon and Kelly still warming up in the bullpen, and Mickey Vernon is going to come up to hit for Don Faresi.

1075
01:52:53,000 --> 01:53:20,000
Vernon's batting 371.

1076
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:31,000
Forty-year-old Mickey Vernon, an outstanding performer through the years. Ford's pitch, curve ball is over, strike one.

1077
01:53:31,000 --> 01:53:39,000
Billy Harrell, the leadoff man on deck. It's the last of the sixth inning, four to one, New York.

1078
01:53:39,000 --> 01:53:45,000
Carrascau moves off first, Ford delivers, and Vernon swings and fouls it to the left of the plate, out of play.

1079
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:51,000
Two, he's trying to punch that one to the opposite field.

1080
01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:56,000
Ryan Duren continues to loosen up for New York.

1081
01:53:56,000 --> 01:54:02,000
Either Bob Lemon or Bob Kelly will be coming on.

1082
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:10,000
Here's the pitch, and it's in there for golf strike three, curve ball, retiring the side.

1083
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:15,000
Four runs, no hits, no errors, and one left on, the end of six innings.

1084
01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:19,000
The Yankees, four runs, eight hits, no errors, and eight left on.

1085
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:24,000
Cleveland, one run, five hits, one error, and eight men left on.

1086
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:35,000
And Bob Lemon, already getting a hand, gets into the automobile that swings around from beyond the right field fence where the Indian bullpen is located.

1087
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:43,000
And he'll be coming in to pitch. He just reinstated after being put on the disabled list, and he'll get a hand. Bob Lemon, listen.

1088
01:54:43,000 --> 01:55:06,000
Lemon gets out of the car, walking the mound, and the fans continue applauding. A great ball player.

1089
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:21,000
Lemon made two appearances this year, a record of nothing in one, worked only three in the third innings.

1090
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:28,000
He had his arm operated on last winter, and he acted up on him, and he was put on the disabled list.

1091
01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:43,000
He just reinstated yesterday, North Carol Hardy, being taken off the roster for the nephandectomy.

1092
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:59,000
So Bob Lemon's coming on, a six-foot, 190-pound, 38-year-old right-hander, and not quite 38, who will be in a couple of months.

1093
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:19,000
Bob, last year, had a 6'11 record, developing that sore arm.

1094
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:33,000
He has a lifetime record of 207 wins, 128 losses. Seven times he was a 20-game winner.

1095
01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:40,000
He started pitching for the Indians in 1946. One of the all-time greats in my book.

1096
01:56:40,000 --> 01:56:46,000
The first man he faces, Mickey Mantle, first of the seven. The pitch, swung on, supply ball hit the left.

1097
01:56:46,000 --> 01:56:54,000
Manosa getting back for it, right near the fence, and makes the catch.

1098
01:56:54,000 --> 01:57:18,000
Went away in the seventh. Mantle, one for four. Gail McDougall has walked three times.

1099
01:57:18,000 --> 01:57:24,000
11 to the wind. Up around comes the right arm. The pitch is inside, ball one.

1100
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:32,000
The Indians are wearing pinstripe uniforms this year, a la the Yankees. They used to always have just plain white.

1101
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:45,000
Now the delivery. It's over there for a strike, one and one.

1102
01:57:45,000 --> 01:58:00,000
The next pitch, over, strike two, one and two. Got a fastball over the inside corner.

1103
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:05,000
Don Perezzi worked two innings, allowed two hits, walked two, struck out two, gave up one run.

1104
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:08,000
Ray Naleski, who started, worked the very first four innings.

1105
01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:11,000
Next pitch, DeGale swung on and popped up toward third.

1106
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:18,000
Tarasco moves in on the infield grass, makes the catch, two down.

1107
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:25,000
And out of the plate comes Jerry Lumpy, who grounded the second, lined the left, and flied the center.

1108
01:58:25,000 --> 01:58:41,000
Lemon has a good sinker in his repertoire of pitches, which include, of course, good fastball and curve and slider.

1109
01:58:41,000 --> 01:58:48,000
Lemon's pitch to Lumpy's bun it, and missed, strike one.

1110
01:58:48,000 --> 01:58:52,000
Four to one, New York, seven pinning.

1111
01:58:52,000 --> 01:59:00,000
Johnny Cooks and Vic Tominak are the pitchers for the second game.

1112
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:21,000
Lemon's one strike offering. It's over, strike two, nothing and two.

1113
01:59:21,000 --> 01:59:50,000
Two strike pitch. It's low outside, one and two. Ball gets away from Vic Brown.

1114
01:59:50,000 --> 02:00:10,000
Now the one-two pitch on its way to the left-hand hitter. It's low inside, two-two.

1115
02:00:10,000 --> 02:00:28,000
Two balls, two strikes, two outs.

1116
02:00:28,000 --> 02:00:41,000
Lemon to the windup, around comes the right arm, the pitch, and Lumpy takes it just outside, ball three, three and two.

1117
02:00:41,000 --> 02:00:50,000
A full count on Jerry.

1118
02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:59,000
Lemon studies the sign given to him by Vic Brown. He's ready as the windup, the payoff pitch, swung on him, missed, strike three.

1119
02:00:59,000 --> 02:01:03,000
No runs, no hits, no errors, no one left on.

1120
02:01:03,000 --> 02:01:09,000
And the score, they have a six and a half innings. The Yankees four, and the Indians one.

1121
02:01:09,000 --> 02:01:18,000
And Lemon gets a hand. He comes in after being reinstated from the disabled list and pitches a fine inning.

1122
02:01:18,000 --> 02:01:26,000
You know, for over 300 years, your neighborhood Tavern has been known as the place of good fellowship, and May is National Tavern Month.

1123
02:01:26,000 --> 02:01:32,000
Yes sir, your tavern's a great place to meet old friends and win new ones. You ought to stop in and see just what we mean.

1124
02:01:32,000 --> 02:01:39,000
You'll find good conversation, a few laughs, and of course plenty of that crisp refresher, Ballantine beer.

1125
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:45,000
Brother, if you want the tops in refreshment, crisp refreshment, then you want Ballantine beer.

1126
02:01:45,000 --> 02:01:52,000
Ballantine is ice-ly light, smooth and downright delicious as a beer can be. Really refreshes you.

1127
02:01:52,000 --> 02:02:00,000
Now how about it friends, stop in at your friendly tavern during National Tavern Month, and while you're there, make that good old free-ring sign.

1128
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:06,000
Ask the man for Ballantine, Ballantine beer, the crisp refresher.

1129
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:14,000
For it's one, two, three strikes you're out. Happy Old Dog Day.

1130
02:02:14,000 --> 02:02:26,000
All Yankee baseball games are brought to you by Ballantine beer and ale and Atlantic gasoline, exclusively in the Capital District over W.O.K.O. 1460 on the dial, Albany's first station.

1131
02:02:26,000 --> 02:02:32,000
Jimmy Harrell was hit by a pitched ball, single to center, and walked.

1132
02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:48,000
4-1 New York, last for 7. Whitey Ford's pitch is high and inside, ball one.

1133
02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:52,000
One ball, more strikes.

1134
02:02:52,000 --> 02:02:59,000
And the delivery. It's in there, strike one, winning one.

1135
02:02:59,000 --> 02:03:03,000
One ball, one strike.

1136
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:08,000
On to the windup, in comes the pitch, swung out, lined to third.

1137
02:03:08,000 --> 02:03:15,000
Hot slider, head high, Jerry Lumpy grabbed it.

1138
02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:35,000
Bobby Avila, lined to right, struck out, and single to right. He's at one out of three. Miniminosa on deck.

1139
02:03:35,000 --> 02:03:42,000
Board into the windup, and the pitch is curved, swung on, and fouled off over toward the Yankee dugout.

1140
02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:51,000
Bobby's a one-time American League batting champion.

1141
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:59,000
From Veracruz, Mexico, the one-strike pitch, it's inside, ball one.

1142
02:03:59,000 --> 02:04:14,000
Avila's wearing a golfer's glove on his left hand, a little tender.

1143
02:04:14,000 --> 02:04:19,000
Here's the one-one pitch, swung on, it's a high drive to left.

1144
02:04:19,000 --> 02:04:25,000
Simpson getting back near the barrier and makes the catch about five feet from the fence.

1145
02:04:25,000 --> 02:04:31,000
Two men away, and the last of the seventh.

1146
02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:51,000
Now coming up is Miniminosa, grounded to short, single to left, and popped to third.

1147
02:04:51,000 --> 02:05:00,000
Open stance, the rear foot in close to the plate, the front foot, left foot, pulled away.

1148
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:12,000
Half-paces the pitcher head-on. The delivery is high outside, ball one.

1149
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:17,000
One ball, no strikes.

1150
02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:29,000
Board into the windup, and the pitch on its way. Curve is in there, strike one, slow curve.

1151
02:05:29,000 --> 02:05:37,000
One ball, one strike.

1152
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:50,000
Two-one pitch, the right-handed, curve in tight, ball two. He started to swing and held up, Whitey, broke the curve ball in on the best of the hitter.

1153
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:56,000
Two-and-one, the count on Miniminosa, and leans over that plate in the pit of the crouch.

1154
02:05:56,000 --> 02:06:05,000
And the two-one pitch, fast ball, hit to the box. Whitey grabs it on the hop, throws on over the thrown barrier, and the side is retired.

1155
02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:14,000
No runs, no hits, no errors, no one left on. At the end of seven-inning supply, the Yankees lead four to one. Four runs, eight hits, no errors. To one run, five hits, one error.

1156
02:06:14,000 --> 02:06:22,000
As refreshing as a cool breeze on a hot summer day, that's the Crisp Professor, Valentine Beer. Enjoy some along with the game.

1157
02:06:22,000 --> 02:06:31,000
Valentine Beer is icily light, smooth, and delicious, precisely right. Phil will be on in to finish up the game for you as we switch back to TV.

1158
02:06:31,000 --> 02:06:36,000
In the meantime, Joe Ripley will run down the scores for you.

1159
02:06:36,000 --> 02:06:42,000
Okay, well, the batteries, the game between Baltimore and Kansas City.

1160
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:52,000
Going for Baltimore and Garber for Kansas City. First of two, Boston and Chicago. At the end of three full innings, Boston three, Chicago one.

1161
02:06:52,000 --> 02:07:08,000
Second with two on. And a double header between Washington and Detroit. First game at the end of two and a half. Washington two, Detroit nothing.

1162
02:07:08,000 --> 02:07:23,000
The camera again is running. Blues, home run for Washington in the third. In the National League, St. Louis and Cincinnati playing two games. First game at the end of four and a half innings.

1163
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:30,000
St. Louis four, Cincinnati one. Brosnan for St. Louis. Rafe started for Cincinnati, relieved by Acker in the fourth.

1164
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:41,000
Chicago and Milwaukee playing a double header. At the end of four full innings, the first game, Chicago one, Milwaukee zero. Phillips against Trollpreech.

1165
02:07:41,000 --> 02:07:51,000
Los Angeles to Philadelphia, rained out. San Francisco defeated Pittsburgh first of two, five, fifteen, three. Pittsburgh two runs nine, hits one error. Here's the pitch and Phil.

1166
02:07:51,000 --> 02:08:09,000
Austin Howard hits the first pitch to shortstop the third of first in time for the out. One away as Ellie Howard is now 0-4 on the day.

1167
02:08:09,000 --> 02:08:23,000
Yeah Joe, you got some help? I just want to say Gomez was the winning pitcher and Law the losing pitcher in the first game San Francisco. Okay Joe. Here's Marv Throneberry who is one for two, struck out, single a right and walked.

1168
02:08:23,000 --> 02:08:41,000
Bob Lemon on the mound. The fastball is on the outside corner, strike one. Bob Lemon will receive such a thunderous ovation on his first start since being on the disabled list. Curveball is low inside, ball one, one and one.

1169
02:08:41,000 --> 02:09:07,000
Lemon is one of the top pitchers in the big leagues. Walk in as an infielder outfielder. Will Bejoe switched him over to pitching. Here's the one-one pitch. Curve low inside, ball two, two and one.

1170
02:09:07,000 --> 02:09:26,000
When Lemon is right, which means when he's got his good stuff, he's as tough to hit as anybody in the big leagues. Never gives you the same pitch twice. Ball's always doing something, never a straight ball, curve, sliders, sinkers, knuckle balls, change of places.

1171
02:09:26,000 --> 02:09:45,000
The two-one pitch is just outside low ball three, three and one.

1172
02:09:45,000 --> 02:10:05,000
Lemon ready. The three-one pitch is outside ball four. He lost him. Down to first base goes Marv Throneberry. And coming to the bat, Whitey four.

1173
02:10:05,000 --> 02:10:17,000
Whitey struck out in the second and he singles a left field in the fourth. And reached on an error by the shortstop in the sixth inning. One for three.

1174
02:10:17,000 --> 02:10:42,000
And with one away, the Indian infielder looking for the front. This is the third time that Whitey is up with a bunt situation in order. He does that same play and singles the center field. Exactly the same play as he pulled in the fourth inning when he squared around his other bunt and then turned around and just punched the ball into center field.

1175
02:10:42,000 --> 02:10:58,000
The first hitter, Bob Lemon, and man, Whitey Ford has got that play down perfectly. He squares around his other bunt. As the pitch comes in, he just steps back and punches at the ball, not hard.

1176
02:10:58,000 --> 02:11:15,000
And so the Yankees have runners at first and second, one away in the bat of Harry Simpson. Harry's one for three. Bounced out short to first, Warf struck out single to left. First pitch is low outside ball one.

1177
02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:40,000
And that Whitey will have plenty to talk about tonight. And on that ride to Kansas City. A stretch and a pitch to Simpson low inside ball two, two or nothing. Those pitchers like to get their base hits.

1178
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:55,000
Two balls, no strikes. One away here in the top of the eighth. Yankees lead four to one.

1179
02:11:55,000 --> 02:12:22,000
Tomorrow at the plate, strike one, two balls and one strike.

1180
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:32,000
Lemon stretches. A 2-1 pitch is fouled back out of play, strike two, two and two.

1181
02:12:32,000 --> 02:12:49,000
Two balls, two strikes and one out. Another big game coming up after this one.

1182
02:12:49,000 --> 02:12:58,000
Throneberry leading with second base, four to first. Two and two to count on Simpson. Here's the stretch by Bob Lemon.

1183
02:12:58,000 --> 02:13:26,000
And the pitch is low in the dirt ball three, three and two as Bob tries to get that sinker down around his knees.

1184
02:13:26,000 --> 02:13:45,000
Full count now on Harry Simpson. Lemon stretches, gets the sign. The pitch is.

1185
02:13:45,000 --> 02:13:54,000
And to run from first to home might have tired him out. And any time a pitcher gets tired running the bases, it shows in the next inning.

1186
02:13:54,000 --> 02:14:00,000
His control isn't quite as good and his fast ball isn't quite as fast and as a result he could be hit pretty hard.

1187
02:14:00,000 --> 02:14:14,000
For Presetti very wisely, has them up and now they're going to walk Yogi Berra to load the bases and pitch to Tony Cooper.

1188
02:14:14,000 --> 02:14:27,000
Here's Lemon giving an intentional pass to Yogi Berra and Yogi's had himself quite a first game here. He singles a deep short, fly to right, home it over the right field wall and then line the single in the right field.

1189
02:14:27,000 --> 02:14:38,000
Three for four on the day and as ball four Yogi gets an intentional pass and it brings up Tony Kubek.

1190
02:14:38,000 --> 02:14:52,000
He throws one for four, fly to center, beat out a bunt, fly to left and hit into a double play.

1191
02:14:52,000 --> 02:14:58,000
One man out and the base is loaded here in the top of the eighth.

1192
02:14:58,000 --> 02:15:09,000
First pitch by Bob Lemon is low outside ball one.

1193
02:15:09,000 --> 02:15:15,000
Bob Kelly gets up in the Indian bullpen.

1194
02:15:15,000 --> 02:15:28,000
Wind up and the pitch to Kubek is a slow ground ball to second base. A run will score but Kubek is out at first base and Tony gets himself an RBI.

1195
02:15:28,000 --> 02:15:40,000
And it's now a six to one ball game as Whitey Ford comes across the score and here's Mickey Mantle.

1196
02:15:40,000 --> 02:15:47,000
And now let's see if they're going to walk Mantle to pitch to McDougal.

1197
02:15:47,000 --> 02:15:58,000
Dick Brown is looking in towards the Cleveland dugout to see what they're going to do and they're putting him on.

1198
02:15:58,000 --> 02:16:03,000
They're going to put Mantle on. Mickey says he doesn't need the helmet but he's got a bat up there with the helmet.

1199
02:16:03,000 --> 02:16:11,000
Ed Hurley is telling Mickey that he's got to put the helmet on. Mickey saw the sign to pass him intentionally so he said to Ed,

1200
02:16:11,000 --> 02:16:16,000
he threw the helmet away and told Hurley that as long as they weren't going to pitch to him he didn't need the helmet.

1201
02:16:16,000 --> 02:16:21,000
But the rules say that you have to wear the helmet when you're at bat.

1202
02:16:21,000 --> 02:16:25,000
And now Ralph Hough has had the helmet on down at first base. You see what the batters do.

1203
02:16:25,000 --> 02:16:31,000
When they get to first base, when they get to first base they take the helmet off, they wear it right over their regular cap,

1204
02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:38,000
and throw it to Ralph Hough coaching and Ralph puts it on his head to save time.

1205
02:16:38,000 --> 02:16:43,000
And now we're ready to go.

1206
02:16:43,000 --> 02:16:49,000
And they're walking Mickey intentionally.

1207
02:16:49,000 --> 02:16:56,000
The fans are booing. Of course they want to see Mantle hit but the strategy of the ball game is to walk Mantle with the base open

1208
02:16:56,000 --> 02:17:01,000
and pitch to the next batter who is a right-hand hitter, Gil McDougal,

1209
02:17:01,000 --> 02:17:08,000
where the percentage of a right-hand pitcher getting a right-hand batter out is greater than of getting a left-hand hitter out.

1210
02:17:08,000 --> 02:17:13,000
There's ball four. Mickey walks.

1211
02:17:13,000 --> 02:17:19,000
And here's Gil McDougal. Gil has walked three times and popped a third.

1212
02:17:19,000 --> 02:17:37,000
Go for one.

1213
02:17:37,000 --> 02:17:42,000
The bases are loaded with two out here on the top of the eighth. The Yankees lead six to one.

1214
02:17:42,000 --> 02:17:55,000
Pitch to McDougal is a curve outside ball one.

1215
02:17:55,000 --> 02:18:00,000
Here's the one-up and pitch to Gil. They foul back out of play.

1216
02:18:00,000 --> 02:18:05,000
Strike one, one-on-one.

1217
02:18:05,000 --> 02:18:14,000
The seminars walk three men in this inning, two of them intentionally. They walk better to load the bases and then Mantle will walk the bases.

1218
02:18:14,000 --> 02:18:25,000
To load the bases.

1219
02:18:25,000 --> 02:18:32,000
One ball, one strike on McDougal.

1220
02:18:32,000 --> 02:18:52,000
Two outside, two outside. Two curve low outside. Ball two, two and one.

1221
02:18:52,000 --> 02:18:59,000
Two balls, one strike and two out. Frank Crisetti coaching a third. Ralph Hock over at first.

1222
02:18:59,000 --> 02:19:18,000
Pitch is outside ball three, three and one.

1223
02:19:18,000 --> 02:19:30,000
The Yankees are getting ready now to three-one pitch. A line drive to right three and Rocky Calavita over 100. Takes it for a round number three.

1224
02:19:30,000 --> 02:19:40,000
And so for the Yankees in the top of the eighth, two runs on two base hits. No Indian errors and three men left on base.

1225
02:19:40,000 --> 02:19:54,000
Seven and a half innings. The Yankees six and the Indians one. And now here's a song about Ballantine beer, the crisp refresher.

1226
02:19:54,000 --> 02:20:11,000
The crispy crisp of beer must be ice and light. The food and delicious is crisp, ice and light. The lively golden, christenly clear.

1227
02:20:11,000 --> 02:20:24,000
The crisp refresher. The crisp refresher. Valentine, Valentine's beer.

1228
02:20:24,000 --> 02:20:44,000
Hey, get your cold cold beer. Hey, get your Valentine's. Hey, get your cold cold beer. Get your ice cold Valentine beer.

1229
02:20:44,000 --> 02:21:04,000
All right, here we go back at municipal stadium for the last half of the seventh inning. The Yankees are leading the ball game six to one.

1230
02:21:04,000 --> 02:21:17,000
Righty-pulled all the way for the Yankees. The Indians have three pitches so far. Ray Nalewski started, Don Foresse, and Bob Lennon.

1231
02:21:17,000 --> 02:21:34,000
And here's Creston Moore, the first baseman who's over three. Popped his short, bounced out to second base, and struck out.

1232
02:21:34,000 --> 02:21:50,000
First pitch is a fast-forward strike one on the outside corner. One-nothing pitch is a curved swing and a missed strike two.

1233
02:21:50,000 --> 02:21:57,000
Bob Kelly continues to warm up in the Indian bullpen because Bob Lennon is making his first appearance since being put on the disabled list,

1234
02:21:57,000 --> 02:22:06,000
and they might let Bob go with a two-winning job to sort of strengthen his arm, maybe not give him too much work the first time out.

1235
02:22:06,000 --> 02:22:20,000
One-one pitch is hit in the right field, a base hit. It looked like he was pulling on the curve, just struck his bat out and sent a liner between first and second off the right field.

1236
02:22:20,000 --> 02:22:31,000
That's hit number six for the Indians, and here's Dick Brown, the catcher, who popped a second single at center to drive in the only run for the Indians so far and popped a third base.

1237
02:22:31,000 --> 02:22:41,000
Rather he hit it grounded at third and lucky grabbed it and stepped on third to the unassisted course play.

1238
02:22:41,000 --> 02:22:53,000
The best ball of ground ball is short. Kubek to McDougall. To Thornberry, he's safe as McDougall's throw pulled him off the bag.

1239
02:22:53,000 --> 02:23:01,000
Tony Kubek almost took that double play himself, and he could have. He was that close to second base at the last second decided to flip it to McDougall.

1240
02:23:01,000 --> 02:23:13,000
The first throw to first base was a little high, pulled Thornberry off the bag, so it's a force play. Six to four, and here's Rocky, now Chico Carascale.

1241
02:23:13,000 --> 02:23:32,000
Chico's one for two, popped a third single, and walk. Service high outside for one.

1242
02:23:32,000 --> 02:23:43,000
That's why he stretches. First ball is hit on the line in left center field. Maddlin over, Howard over, and Maddlin makes the grab over his shoulder.

1243
02:23:43,000 --> 02:23:49,000
That was Maddlin Simpson chasing that ball. Howard is out in right field. Mickey Maddlin makes the grab in left center field.

1244
02:23:49,000 --> 02:24:06,000
And here's Rocky Colavito. Rocky struck out, bounced out second of first, and lined Maddlin's center field.

1245
02:24:06,000 --> 02:24:23,000
He's out here in the last of the eighth, the first pitch to Colavito outside ball one.

1246
02:24:23,000 --> 02:24:37,000
Here's Rocky Colavito, right hand hitter. Forth stretches. Curve is hit in the air to short left center. Pull back back, Simpson in, and Simpson makes the grab.

1247
02:24:37,000 --> 02:24:53,000
So the Indians in the last of the eighth, no runs, one hit. No Yankees, there is one man left. The score at the end of eighth full innings, the Yankees six and the Indians one.

1248
02:24:53,000 --> 02:24:59,000
Take another look at the scoreboard in the American League in a single game. Baltimore at Kansas City at the end of one half inning of play.

1249
02:24:59,000 --> 02:25:07,000
Baltimore nothing, Kansas City at that. Compass against Garver. Boston leads Chicago five to one at the end of four in their first game.

1250
02:25:07,000 --> 02:25:14,000
Bauman for Boston. Donovan started. Forth is in the fourth. Lepsio had a home in the second with two on.

1251
02:25:14,000 --> 02:25:21,000
Washington at Detroit tied two-two at the end of four and a half. Kemmer against Bunning. Blue is the home in the third.

1252
02:25:21,000 --> 02:25:30,000
In the National League, Cardinals lead Cincinnati four to one at the end of five and a half. Bosnian for St. Louis. Graves started for Cincinnati.

1253
02:25:30,000 --> 02:25:37,000
Acker in the fourth. Nuxhole in the sixth. Chicago leads Milwaukee one and nothing at the end of five and a half. Phillips against Trowbridge.

1254
02:25:37,000 --> 02:25:45,000
Los Angeles at Philadelphia postponed because of rain. And the Giants defeated the Pirates in the first game for double out of five to two.

1255
02:25:45,000 --> 02:25:51,000
Gomez the winner. Schmidt and Relief in the eighth. Law the loser. Blackburn in the seventh. Porterfield in the eighth.

1256
02:25:51,000 --> 02:26:01,000
And they have another game to go and starting pitch is Monzant for the Giants. Raiden for Pittsburgh.

1257
02:26:01,000 --> 02:26:07,000
And as there are no pitchers coming in for Cleveland, we'll pause for station identification.

1258
02:26:07,000 --> 02:26:22,000
W. O. Kill, 1460 on your dial. First in Albany. The Troy Buick baseball roundup follows the game.

1259
02:26:22,000 --> 02:26:29,000
Bob Kelly comes in to take over for Bob Lemon. On the air he's one-none and lost one. Has no record against the Yankees.

1260
02:26:29,000 --> 02:26:44,000
His first appearance against the Yankees. This is his seventh appearance of the year. He started three games. This will be his fourth Relief appearance.

1261
02:26:44,000 --> 02:26:56,000
So Bob Lemon while he was in there worked two full innings. He gave up two hits. Walked through two of them intentionally. He struck out one and allowed two runs.

1262
02:26:56,000 --> 02:27:12,000
So Bob did very well. Bob Lemon, that is not Bob Neal, on the mound. Very happy to see Bob Neal again. He's been on a diet, very slim.

1263
02:27:12,000 --> 02:27:33,000
Didn't even recognize him. Oh, Pappy Durkin and I didn't recognize him as he walked in. And Bob Kelly on the mound for the Cleveland Indians pitching to Jerry Lumpy as we get ready to go here in the top of the ninth inning with the Yankees leading 6-1.

1264
02:27:33,000 --> 02:27:42,000
Lumpy's 0-4. Hits a ground ball to second base. Off of Heeler's leg in a short right field. And Lumpy's safe at first base and that will be an error.

1265
02:27:42,000 --> 02:27:54,000
And error charged to Bobby Avila. That was a hot shot but right at Bobby and he lifted his glove a little too soon and went underneath and hit him on the left leg, hopped in a short right field.

1266
02:27:54,000 --> 02:28:08,000
And that will bring up Elston Howard who was 0-4, popped in a catcher, bounced out short to first twice and struck out.

1267
02:28:08,000 --> 02:28:15,000
Preston Ward holding the bag against Jerry Lumpy.

1268
02:28:15,000 --> 02:28:29,000
Here's the stretch by Bob Kelly. The pitch is a line drive to right field. Rocky Colivito going back under it and takes it for out number one.

1269
02:28:29,000 --> 02:28:45,000
And that away is Howard hit a hard shot right out Colivito in right field. And that will bring up Mark Throneberry who's 1-2, struck out single right and walked twice. Scored two runs. Kelly on the mound is a real good palm ball.

1270
02:28:45,000 --> 02:28:52,000
Palm ball is a pitch where you hold it with your little finger and your thumb and just let it slide out. It works a little like a knuckleball and change of pace.

1271
02:28:52,000 --> 02:29:05,000
There it is, strike one. That Throneberry ducking back on the pitch.

1272
02:29:05,000 --> 02:29:23,000
Lumpy leads away. Pass ball is in the dirt ball, one-one-one.

1273
02:29:23,000 --> 02:29:42,000
One ball, one strike. Here's the stretch by Bob Kelly. There's a ground ball right out of Villa, up at it to Howard for one. Back to first, double play.

1274
02:29:42,000 --> 02:29:54,000
And for the Yankees, in the top of the ninth, no runs, no hits. One Cleveland error and nobody left. A score at the end of 8-1 half innings. The Yankees 6 and the Indians 1.

1275
02:29:54,000 --> 02:30:04,000
Well, this is a beautiful day. Now we've got another ball game to go so let's go to the lighter side of baseball. Here's one they tell about a well-known manager.

1276
02:30:04,000 --> 02:30:15,000
When he was managing the Cleveland Indians he showed up one day with a bad cold and kept his handkerchief pretty busy. Right from the start every Cleveland Indian who reached first immediately tried to steal second.

1277
02:30:15,000 --> 02:30:27,000
After a while the manager was puzzled by this unusual display of larceny until one of his coaches reminded him that his steal time was the handkerchief and advised him to come up with a new signal until he got rid of that cold.

1278
02:30:27,000 --> 02:30:34,000
That was a dandy. But now for the lighter side of something else. Let's talk about Valentine beer, the Crisp Refresher.

1279
02:30:34,000 --> 02:30:42,000
Man, just lift a glass of Valentine to your lips. So icily light, so smooth and delicious. Precisely right.

1280
02:30:42,000 --> 02:30:49,000
And on top of that it's lively, golden, crisply clear. That's the Crisp Refresher Valentine beer.

1281
02:30:49,000 --> 02:30:59,000
So make the three ring sign and ask the man for Valentine. Valentine beer.

1282
02:30:59,000 --> 02:31:14,000
And now the Indians are down to their last three outs if they want to stay in this ball game. The Yankees lead them by a score of 6 to 1 as we're playing the last of the night.

1283
02:31:14,000 --> 02:31:23,000
Whitey Ford has gone all the way so far for the Yankees on the mound.

1284
02:31:23,000 --> 02:31:49,000
He'll be facing Roger Maris. Maris is open two, bounce out short to first walk and fly to right field. Left hand hitter, swings at a curve, doesn't get a strike one.

1285
02:31:49,000 --> 02:32:03,000
The one strike pitch is taking high ball one, one and one. You can hear those cowbells in the back of the Cleveland fan who's got on an old black derby.

1286
02:32:03,000 --> 02:32:30,000
Trying to get a rally started here some way. One, one pitch, a slow curve on the inside corner, strike two, one ball, two strikes.

1287
02:32:30,000 --> 02:32:42,000
There's a swing and a miss, strike three. Roger Maris goes down on strikes.

1288
02:32:42,000 --> 02:33:00,000
And with the pitcher, Kelly Dunex, Billy Moran comes down to finch it. Moran's batting 160.

1289
02:33:00,000 --> 02:33:14,000
He's got a team for 81. He has two doubles and four runs about it and a right hand hitter.

1290
02:33:14,000 --> 02:33:40,000
Moran is a fastball lower, ball one. Fastball is inside, ball two, two and nothing.

1291
02:33:40,000 --> 02:33:51,000
Two balls and one strike.

1292
02:33:51,000 --> 02:33:57,000
Here's the two, one pitch, a slow curve foul, a little by the Yankee dugout.

1293
02:33:57,000 --> 02:34:11,000
Two and two to count. On deck, Billy Howell. Well, the bells are ringing.

1294
02:34:11,000 --> 02:34:19,000
A two, two pitch, inside ball three, three and two.

1295
02:34:19,000 --> 02:34:28,000
Brian Dune is up again in the Yankee bullpen. When he gets around that eighth and ninth inning, he's the man that Casey Stengel has been calling on more than anybody else.

1296
02:34:28,000 --> 02:34:34,000
A playoff pitch, a five ball to left field. Harry Simpson over near the line.

1297
02:34:34,000 --> 02:34:41,000
Takes the ball in bad territory near the wall for out number two. Two away.

1298
02:34:41,000 --> 02:34:53,000
And here's Billy Howell, the leadoff man, who has been on base three times, has hit by a pitch ball, single a center walk and then lined a third baseman, Jerry Lumpy.

1299
02:34:53,000 --> 02:35:04,000
And the Indians are down to their lowest out.

1300
02:35:04,000 --> 02:35:17,000
Here's the first pitch to Howell, high ball one.

1301
02:35:17,000 --> 02:35:20,000
The one nothing pitch. There's a ground ball, a third Lumpy up on a big hop.

1302
02:35:20,000 --> 02:35:26,000
The throw to first, the ball game's over and the Yankees win it by a score of six to one.

1303
02:35:26,000 --> 02:35:33,000
For the Indians in the last of the ninth, no runs, no hits, no Yankees, nobody left.

1304
02:35:33,000 --> 02:35:40,000
And that's all for the first game. For the Yankees, six runs, ten hits, no errors, 11 men left.

1305
02:35:40,000 --> 02:35:43,000
For the Indians, one run, six hits, two errors, nine men left.

1306
02:35:43,000 --> 02:35:47,000
The winning pitcher, Whitey Ford, who went all the way, his record now five wins and two defeats.

1307
02:35:47,000 --> 02:36:14,000
The loser, Ray Nolenski, who started and went four innings, his record now five wins and four defeats.
