2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
The New York Mets faced the Pittsburgh Pirates at Forbes Field for a Thursday night game on June 3rd, 1965.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:22,000
The Mets were led by Casey Stengel, whose only real goal in 1965 was trying to avoid losing more than 109 games for the fourth consecutive year.

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,000
From 1961 to 1964, the Pirates had only one season over 500.

5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:34,000
And after the conclusion of the 1964 campaign, longtime manager Danny Murtaugh stepped down as skipper and moved up to the Pirate front office.

6
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:41,000
The Pirate hired Harry Walker to manage the 1965 season after he led the Jacksonville Suns to the 1964 International League pennant.

7
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Pittsburgh started off this season slow, however, entering the game near the bottom of the National League with a 21-24 record.

8
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:57,000
This recording begins with a 27-minute special radio broadcast of the launching of the Gemini Titan IV space mission, which included the first American spacewalk.

9
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,000
This historic moment occurred shortly before the game began, and after this special report is over,

10
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:10,000
the recording returns to the pregame broadcast of the Mets and Pirates game featuring announcers Ralph Keiner, Bob Murphy, and Lindsay Nelson.

11
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:19,000
...is ready to fly, and the operations director at Mission Control in Houston reports the worldwide tracking network is ready.

12
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Now, of all of these people, thousands of them and the hundreds of pieces of equipment needed for the flight report, they are ready to go.

13
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Flight director Chris Craft is notified that the Mission Control center in Houston, that the Gemini Titan IV is now ready and is committed for launch.

14
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000
So we're coming up at five and a half minutes before liftoff. From this point on, the count is controlled automatically.

15
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,000
This is what is called the terminal portion of the count, where an automatic sequencer takes over to make the final checks electronically.

16
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:58,000
If anything in the maze of wires, tubes, and pipes that make up this 11-story tall Gemini Titan rocket poses a threat to the safety of the flight, the count will be stopped automatically.

17
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Otherwise, in a few moments, astronauts Mac Bidditt and White should be airborne.

18
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:10,000
We will be getting another report momentarily on the status of the flight. At this point, everything seems to be proceeding smoothly.

19
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,000
And if it is, if it continues so, the launch should take place in about five minutes.

20
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Control will be from launch time on at the Mission Control center, a spanking new room in a new three-story building costing something over $100 million at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston.

21
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:39,000
And we expect to get a report within just a few seconds on the latest status in these final moments of the countdown on the launch of Gemini 4.

22
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Paul Hady in Houston.

23
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,000
This is Gemini Control Houston in the count. T minus five minutes in county.

24
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,000
At T minus seven minutes, we completed a spacecraft test conductor status check and all elements were green and go.

25
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:03,000
At the conclusion of that status check, spacecraft test conductor Frank Whittick of the Kennedy Space Center signed off too.

26
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
We should make that a short message of anything we said.

27
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Okay, Jim, have a good flight.

28
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,000
In the last minute, the launch vehicle test conductor Frank Kerry of the Martin Company is conducting his status check.

29
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
The bird looks just as green as the spacecraft.

30
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000
We have four minutes and 30 seconds and proceeding.

31
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000
This is Gemini Control Houston.

32
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:39,000
We're in the final minutes of the countdown as the Gemini Titan Rockets guidance system is given its commands to fly the astronauts to a point 100 miles above the island of Bermuda,

33
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,000
where McNivet in white will begin the longest flight yet attempted by the U.S.

34
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:52,000
If all goes well, they will spend almost 100 hours in their conchaired seats to come within less than one day of the longest manned space flight,

35
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,000
that of Russian cosmonaut Valery Bochitsky, made two years ago this month.

36
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,000
The Russian colonel came within one hour of spending five days in orbit.

37
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Medical men are calling this flight the most critical yet by the U.S.

38
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000
They will constantly monitor the pilots of Gemini 4 as they orbit the Earth.

39
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,000
They are gravely concerned about man's ability to survive and sustain weightlessness.

40
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:22,000
There's evidence that without the effect of gravity, man's heart and nerve systems and his bone structure will decay according to the length of time he spends in space.

41
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:28,000
We're counting at T-minus three minutes now on the flight of Gemini Titan 4.

42
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,000
This will be the beginning of the longest flight yet for the U.S., the longest yet attempted.

43
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
If all goes well, it will triple the time.

44
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,000
We're getting ready now for reports from the Mission Control Center here on Cape Kennedy.

45
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
This is the one that will be monitoring the flight during the first few minutes,

46
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:54,000
and we have Information Officer Jack King standing by to give us a last few status reports here on the situation on the pad.

47
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Now to Jack King at Mission Control.

48
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,000
This is Gemini Launch Control at the Cape.

49
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
We are now at two minutes and 41 seconds in time.

50
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:10,000
At this final phase of the top down, we're just finishing up our final guidance set for the launch vehicle.

51
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:18,000
All systems are good, both in the Gemini four-space craft with pilots Jim McGibbet and Ed White, and with the launch vehicle on the pad.

52
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,000
This is Gemini Launch Control at two minutes and 20 seconds and counting.

53
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Here's the latest statement from John W. King, Jack King, and the Mission Control Center here as the excitement begins to mount

54
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,000
for the second manned launch in the Gemini program.

55
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,000
The astronauts are James McDivitt and Edward White,

56
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,000
and it promises to be the most dramatic flight in the history of U.S. manned space.

57
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,000
That is with the rendezvous coming up in just about three hours from now.

58
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Edward White's dramatic walk through space, a 12-minute walk that is, in orbit across the United States from California,

59
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,000
northern Mexico, to across Georgia off Savannah.

60
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:05,000
He will take it in about 12 minutes and possibly touch the second stage of the Titan rocket booster

61
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,000
that will boost him hopefully into orbit in about a minute and a half.

62
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Minus 90 seconds and counting, the launch vehicle has gone to internal power.

63
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000
The launch vehicle is now on its own battery power.

64
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,000
All systems still looking good in the spacecraft and with the launch vehicle itself.

65
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,000
You will be receiving reports from Gemini Control here along.

66
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Right now we have NBC's Herbert Kepler outside our vantage point.

67
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
He's standing by to give you a description of the launch as it takes place.

68
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,000
We're going to switch you to Herb Kepler.

69
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000
It's the virtually clearest cloud this night and we should be able to see the booster

70
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,000
for a considerable portion of the powered flight, perhaps two minutes.

71
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Sometimes on a clear day you can actually see the burnout of the first stage.

72
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000
You see in the pump of smoke which would mean the ignition of the second stage.

73
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000
It comes about two and a half minutes into the flight.

74
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:02,000
It's warm, fun, hardly any breeze, and as we said, not a cloud that I can see in the sky over the Cape.

75
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Shortly after launch, there constantly will be a couple of jet fighter planes.

76
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,000
We're looking good at this time.

77
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,000
We see two wisps in the sky, but we're not sure that they're in second or they're the fighter aircraft,

78
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:22,000
which I just have Leaper trails in there skewing forth from the career of the airplane.

79
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:33,000
That's ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, zero.

80
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,000
First the plane starts with smoke.

81
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Then in a few seconds it will start with a yellowish transparent flame.

82
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Coming forth on the forked effect, then the sound starts to rumble as the spacecraft moves up.

83
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:57,000
In a few seconds it will start its roll program, which is for guidance.

84
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:15,000
As far as we can tell, it seems to be performing well.

85
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:21,000
It is now about three miles high.

86
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Now they are moving into the second phase of the pilots.

87
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:31,000
If they would have to end the mission, they would go into a different procedure than the one that carried them through the first 50 seconds.

88
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:37,000
We can no longer see it, but we can hear the last sounds.

89
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,000
As far as we can tell, everything is going well.

90
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,000
The G-forces should be building up slowly,

91
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,000
perhaps to a maximum on the power part of the flight.

92
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:55,000
There is a puff of smoke, which indicates the separation is about to take place in about a minute.

93
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:01,000
We see some of the fighter airplanes, two of them, that climb alongside the booster trying to make motion pictures.

94
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:08,000
There is a second trail from one of the airplanes making motion pictures in the altitude area of six to ten miles.

95
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,000
It is a little bit of a slow journey for a spacecraft of one minute and twenty seconds.

96
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:19,000
It is necessary, it doesn't look like it is necessary at this point.

97
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,000
We are having some transmission difficulty from the spacecraft.

98
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:29,000
The transmissions are intermittent.

99
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Twenty miles down the range, probably now about 30 miles.

100
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,000
In about twenty seconds, the first stage of the booster should burn out.

101
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Then the second stage engines would start.

102
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:59,000
The G-forces report Gemini for his go for staging, which will occur in a very few seconds.

103
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,000
We have updated data on the computer onboard that spacecraft.

104
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:11,000
We have staging and it is taking the ground.

105
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Now about 50 miles, 77 miles down range from Cape Kennedy.

106
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:27,000
All we can see in the sky over Cape Kennedy at this point are the aircraft.

107
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Three minutes into the mission, three minutes.

108
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:41,000
The trajectory is right on the line.

109
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Everything looks great, Jim.

110
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Jim has displayed the spacecraft.

111
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Flight forward, final speed.

112
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,000
You are listening to the description of the flight from all angles.

113
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,000
The capsule communicator.

114
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Everything is real good here, Mike.

115
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,000
The trajectory is crap, going from console to console here.

116
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:21,000
From each one, he gets a complete big confidence in the G-forces report.

117
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Everything looks good.

118
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,000
We are four minutes into the mission.

119
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Mcdivitt has a very, very calm voice and it looks great up here.

120
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Craft has advised the stand-by for a final status check here.

121
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:44,000
I know we got a little bit of a bite a minute ago or a little cut off.

122
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Craft has told Chris and Mcdivitt to give him a go.

123
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:54,000
It has been received and Mcdivitt advises he also is go.

124
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:08,000
The gait is not very good.

125
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Four minutes and fifty seconds.

126
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Our batteries are out.

127
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Right on the money.

128
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:23,000
A hundred miles an hour, speed twelve and a half thousand miles an hour.

129
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Standby for point eight.

130
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,000
We are point eight, that point where we have achieved eighty percent of the required velocity.

131
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Eighty percent.

132
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Five minutes and seventy seconds in.

133
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Where's the flight?

134
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Both systems, the guidance says we're starting.

135
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Second load system is the primary system in the booster and the radio guidance during the system.

136
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,000
Five minutes and thirty seconds.

137
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Stand-by for a sustainer engine cut off.

138
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Here we go, Mcdivitt says.

139
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Anderson confirms here on the ground that we have a single system.

140
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Okay, looks a little short to me.

141
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Looks like it's going to cost up the advantage.

142
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Right.

143
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,000
You can hear the voices of the astronauts in the background talking to one another.

144
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:13,000
Right away, we have a call from Mcdivitt to give him a go.

145
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Five minutes and thirty seconds.

146
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Right.

147
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:32,000
There's the repeat, here goes, seventy-four.

148
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,000
We've been informed President Johnson is one-stop-several.

149
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,000
He's getting a second from twenty-eight.

150
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000
Go ahead, five seconds for the first.

151
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000
He's got a minute when he separates from that second.

152
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,000
He's getting the switch to U-H-F-10, Capcom.

153
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Everything right on the money.

154
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Red Craft, the mission director has given Mcdivitt and White a goal for their mission.

155
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
They should be in orbit.

156
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Six minutes and fifty seconds, sir.

157
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Seventy-four has been asked to switch to another channel to clear up some.

158
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Here we go.

159
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:23,000
This is being relayed through the Bermuda tracking station, through the mission control center now.

160
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:29,000
We will shortly be getting Mcdivitt advises he has an incremental velocity indicator

161
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:34,000
when in the spacecraft during the separation maneuver, which has occurred within the last minute.

162
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Red is following him, he's moving forward, he's moving right, and he's two down.

163
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,000
This is where he will pull away slowly about three and a half miles an hour

164
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,000
to separate only three hundred to four hundred feet from the booster.

165
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:54,000
He's turning around at this time to face the booster.

166
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,000
This will give him a direct check with the distance to the booster.

167
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:04,000
He says the second stage, which he now has in view, looks pretty.

168
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,000
He says he's also tumbling slightly.

169
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,000
He can't get him on one alpha.

170
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Right hand, oh, you're clear to go on the space.

171
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Right, go ahead.

172
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Eighty-seven by one fifty-three, our Buna data coming in.

173
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,000
That is a problem with the Alpha G.

174
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Eighty-seven by one fifty-three, our Buna data coming in.

175
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:34,000
That is a nautical mile, which would be in round figures, a little less than a hundred to a hundred eighty-five.

176
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:41,000
This orbit, the lowest point, eighty-seven miles versus Gemini Control, yes, in eight minutes and thirty-six

177
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,000
into the mission, eighty-eight minutes and thirty seconds into the mission.

178
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:50,000
The address of the here in the Kessler Renewing Area is just past two,

179
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Gemini Control, in Ed White via our Buna station, the following orbital elements,

180
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:04,000
one hundred statute miles at parity, one hundred and seventy-five statute miles at apathy.

181
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:09,000
This is exactly what the book calls for.

182
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,000
We're nine minutes in.

183
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:21,000
And stand by and we'll be prepared in a very few minutes to play the booster phase tape conversation for you.

184
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Stand by.

185
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:30,000
We might mention that the orbital figure saw here in apathy, this is a high point, is a hundred and eighty-five miles.

186
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000
We don't know that this was a mistake on Mr. Hady's part.

187
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
He could have made a mistake here with this hundred and seventy-five.

188
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,000
We're going to receive the tape here in just a moment of the actual conversation between the astronauts

189
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,000
during the powered portion of flight and capsule communicator,

190
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Josh Grissom, who made this flight a little more than two months ago.

191
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Should be coming up any time.

192
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Some of those voices in the background are that of the astronauts, some of them the capsule communicator,

193
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,000
which would be Virgil Grissom, and then of course we're hearing some of, perhaps, the Bermuda tracking station.

194
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,000
I'm not sure whether that's one of the voices coming in there.

195
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:13,000
It is at this point, it would be interesting to see whether the second stage is tumbling too much.

196
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,000
They mentioned it was tumbling, and this will determine largely whether White decides,

197
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:24,000
when he steps out on the health side of the spacecraft activity, whether or not to try and touch it.

198
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,000
They did say, but he did report, McIntosh reported that it was tumbling a little.

199
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000
As he said, it was pretty.

200
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,000
I think it was his turn.

201
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,000
No, he actually said it was tumbling.

202
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Yeah, and pretty, I think.

203
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000
So whether it's too much, we'll see.

204
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
We're in a pretty close to novel in-circuit.

205
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,000
We're at eighty-seven by one-five-three.

206
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
He has the one alpha time.

207
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,000
We're listening now to orbital information coming from Bermuda,

208
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:54,000
talking about the altitudes of the orbit, and not yet listening to the Kate,

209
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,000
made for the flight.

210
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,000
He is on UAF number two.

211
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Actually, this spacecraft is already out of communication contact of the Kate here.

212
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:15,000
It's in communication contact with Bermuda fast approaching the Canary Islands tracking station.

213
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:20,000
All of this information is relayed very rapidly to the Mission Control Center in Houston.

214
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,000
He should be somewhere between Bermuda and the Canary Islands on his first orbit.

215
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Supposed to hit the Canary Islands at about, oh, about 14 minutes, I think.

216
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,000
He will be in communication contact. He'll be over in about 20 minutes.

217
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,000
That's right.

218
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000
And apparently everything so far seems to be going fine.

219
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,000
They're in orbit. The second stage is in orbit.

220
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:56,000
And now the two gentlemen will be, we haven't heard yet whether they are in that 300-foot separation between the two space objects,

221
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
but we'll probably get a report momentarily.

222
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:03,000
The first orbit will be used largely by the two men to check the systems in the spacecraft

223
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:10,000
before they go into the very important and intriguing second orbital operations.

224
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:16,000
I think we're going to get that tape coming up now from Mission Control Center.

225
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,000
I hear something sounding like the roar of the rocket in the background here.

226
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Yes, this is a rocket roar. This is a part portion of the tape playing playback.

227
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:43,000
We are now 13 minutes into the flight, somewhere between Bermuda and the Canary Islands.

228
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,000
And as far as we can tell, to this point, the flight is proceeding well.

229
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:53,000
The first of what is hoped to be 62 encirclements of the Earth.

230
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,000
That sounds like one of the chase planes.

231
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,000
This is probably a recording of the first moments of launch where the chase planes,

232
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,000
the two fighter planes, go up alongside and climb parallel to the booster,

233
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,000
trying to take motion pictures at some of the higher altitudes.

234
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Of course, they can't stick around very long. The chase planes don't have the altitude capability.

235
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Let's see where we are. We're 13-plus minutes into the flight.

236
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:22,000
We should have astronaut Edward White at this time going into his compartments under the seat,

237
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:27,000
taking out his blood pressure bulb, his Hufflepuff Blast Camera and his film packs,

238
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,000
the 16-millimeter movie camera and its magazines and lens and other equipment

239
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,000
that will be needed to carry out the mission during the next two hours here.

240
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000
They should be getting some interesting photographs along about now of that booster trailing them.

241
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Of course, we would like to know just how far behind that booster is.

242
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Well, that's the big question at this point, whether they're able to –

243
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,000
they will be able to get as close as they'd like.

244
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,000
They have just now moved into communication contact with the Canary Island tracking station.

245
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,000
This means the Gemini 4 spacecraft is more than 100 miles above the Atlantic.

246
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,000
It's flying backwards. It's less than five minutes from shooting over the west coast of Africa.

247
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,000
The Gemini 4 is in orbit with its back in forward

248
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,000
so that the astronauts can keep a close eye on the Titan second stage.

249
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:16,000
We understand from astronaut McNivet, the command pilot, that it is tumbling over and over

250
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:22,000
and hopefully it is tumbling less than one rotation every 36 seconds

251
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,000
or will be by the time we have our spacewalk by astronaut Ed White.

252
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:36,000
Well, you said, I believe, that the low point of the first orbit is 87 nautical miles and the high point 153.

253
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:41,000
You ought to figure out the statute miles. You multiply that by 1.15.

254
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,000
We ought to have our own computer to do it.

255
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:52,000
But it's certainly, if not right on, extremely close to what the designer high and low points were for the first orbit.

256
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Of course, they do change orbits later on as they maneuver.

257
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,000
They try to perform certain of the operational schedule for the flight.

258
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,000
I think that is pretty close to what they say nominal here.

259
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:13,000
87 nautical miles would be 100 and 153 would be plus 17 and a half plus four would be 150, 17,

260
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,000
so around 170 miles.

261
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,000
They're short. They're lower. They're 10 miles or so lower.

262
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Right at this moment, command pilot James McNivet should be giving his control systems a full checkout.

263
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:33,000
And this is, of course, to see if he can yaw and roll and pitch the spacecraft in slow motion and everything.

264
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,000
And he is feeding all this information through the Canary Islands tracking stations.

265
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000
He's now in communication control.

266
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:44,000
During this first orbit, the astronauts will physically check every part of their spacecraft

267
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,000
to make sure that it is in operating condition for the extravehicular activity,

268
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:56,000
that is astronaut Ed White's walk in space, which should be coming up in less than three hours now.

269
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Actually, he would step out into space.

270
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000
They left at 16 minutes after 11 Eastern Daylight Time.

271
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:10,000
That would mean at 17 minutes after 2 Eastern Daylight Time.

272
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000
He should be starting his spacewalk.

273
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:18,000
He will open the hatch about 10 minutes before this, which would be about 6 minutes after 2 Eastern Daylight Time,

274
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,000
if everything goes as planned.

275
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,000
The launch took place here 17 and a half minutes ago.

276
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:32,000
And we are now approaching the west coast of Africa on this first orbit.

277
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000
And we're still waiting for the tape.

278
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000
We're going to hear now in just a few moments.

279
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,000
We're going to get a report from Mission Control out in Houston, Texas.

280
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:45,000
The voice you will hear is Information Affairs Officer Paul Haney out there.

281
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Possibly we'll know the position of the spacecraft and the Titan rocket second stage, what the situation is.

282
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Any moment now we'll be hearing from Paul Haney at Mission Control.

283
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,000
We have about 30 seconds to go.

284
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,000
We understand and we'll have that report.

285
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Meanwhile, the Gemini 4 spacecraft is now over the western coast of Africa.

286
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,000
It has passed over the Canary Islands approaching the continent.

287
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Now let's go out to, we're 18 minutes into the flight.

288
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:26,000
We're up on this report from Mission Control in Houston.

289
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:32,000
We're having some difficulty, it appears, receiving this report from Mission Control in Houston.

290
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:39,000
And we're over the western coast of Africa with a flight.

291
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,000
We assume that what Haney is doing in Mission Control is gathering all the pertinent data

292
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:48,000
to try and give a status report on the life of the orbit.

293
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:53,000
And some of the other essential details is particularly interesting to us

294
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,000
because of what people hope to achieve in the second orbit,

295
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:02,000
which would be for White to step out of his spacecraft at the end of a 20-hour report.

296
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Here we go for that report from Paul Haney now.

297
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,000
This is Gemini Control in Houston.

298
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,000
The spacecraft at this time is directly over a Canary Island station.

299
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:17,000
It is beginning its passage across the African continent.

300
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,000
We are in excellent voice contact now.

301
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,000
The crew has switched to a second, or a backup UHF channel,

302
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:31,000
which reads much clearer than the other UHF channels they were using in the launch phase.

303
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Communications are coming through their X-Mobile upon contacting the Canary Station.

304
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Excellent. Jim McPivott was advised that his status was excellent from the ground.

305
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,000
And the pilot came back with a Roger. Thank you.

306
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:56,000
They ran out their onboard quantities, which appear to be quite nominal at this point in the spacecraft.

307
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:03,000
They are being updated as to the time and the exact time references.

308
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:09,000
For a recovery, should one be come necessary at the end of the first revolution.

309
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:14,000
We see nothing in this first 20 minutes of flight, which would make such a recovery necessary,

310
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,000
but it's standard procedure to pass this along.

311
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:23,000
We can hear it light the big marathons, voice building in now into the Canary Station.

312
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000
We can relay it back here.

313
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,000
This is Gemini Control in 20 minutes after the hour.

314
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:35,000
You have been listening to a description of the blast-off and start of the historic four-day Gemini two-man spaceflight,

315
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,000
which is scheduled to continue until Monday morning.

316
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:43,000
The experiment in which Major White leaves the spacecraft and the craft itself is to be maneuvered

317
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,000
close to the burned-out second stage of the booster,

318
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:51,000
occur near the end of the second orbit, which will be sometime after 2 p.m.

319
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,000
This afternoon, some minutes before the beginning of the experiment,

320
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:01,000
WGY will rejoin NBC for continuous coverage of the spectacular phase of the flight

321
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,000
and always, of course, will bring you regular bulletins on its progress.

322
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:10,000
You are listening to stations WGY and WGSM in Schenectady.

323
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:17,000
Now, Casey Stengel coming out to home plate with his lineup guide to present to the umpire,

324
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:22,000
the home plate umpire in this game, Mel Steiner, out for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Coach Alex Bremman.

325
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
And this is the way the card reads.

326
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000
For the New York Mets, Bobby Krause to lead off.

327
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
He'll be back at second base.

328
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,000
At Greenpool, batting second at first base.

329
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Joe Christopher, right field.

330
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Batting in the third batting position.

331
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Batting in the cleanup spot, Charlie Smith back in the lineup at third base.

332
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Juan Sobota has removed to left field.

333
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,000
He'll be batting fifth.

334
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,000
Jim Eklund in center field, batting sixth.

335
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Melom the shortstop, batting seventh.

336
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
And Chris Catazel the catcher, batting eighth.

337
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Galen Siskofitch, he's batting ninth.

338
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Mets are using Joe Christopher in right field for the first time this year,

339
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,000
mainly because he has played right field here in Forbes Field.

340
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,000
It's a very difficult field to play because of the flaning wall

341
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
that extends from the foul pole out toward right center field.

342
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Juan Sobota moved over to left field, playing left field for the first time,

343
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,000
and left field a little more regular in play.

344
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,000
For the Pittsburgh Pirates, who have moved up in these standings,

345
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,000
they have a record now of 21 wins and 24 losses,

346
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,000
having won their last 12 consecutive ball games.

347
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,000
Bob Manning will be leading off and playing third base.

348
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Phil Burton playing in center field, batting second.

349
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Roberto Gomeni in right field, batting third.

350
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Willie Sajul in left field in the cleanup spot.

351
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Don Flandenda in first base, batting fifth.

352
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Bill Mazurowski at second base, batting sixth.

353
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Henry Rogers, a shortstop, batting seventh.

354
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,000
The catcher will be Jim Faliarone.

355
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,000
He is batting eighth, head on the mound, Joe Gevin batting ninth.

356
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,000
And now the Pirates take the field.

357
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Still some twilight here in this area.

358
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,000
Lights are not taking too much effect.

359
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,000
And this ball game, the first of a five-game series.

360
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000
Tomorrow night, the Mets will play against the Pirates,

361
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,000
and the starting pitchers for that ball game will be Jack Fisher against Bob Grant.

362
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,000
And now, ladies and gentlemen, our national anthem.

363
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Beautiful playing.

364
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Thank you very much, Ralph.

365
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Hello, everybody.

366
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Left-handed Joe Gevin is out there on the mound.

367
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000
This is Ralph Fogelman.

368
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,000
He's a Pirates that won 12 consecutive games.

369
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000
The longest win streak in the Major League season.

370
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,000
They were rained out here last night.

371
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,000
They'll do it against the Philadelphia Phillies.

372
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,000
I'd like to take you to a fantastic stewards' night here as a former Pirate.

373
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Now, first baseman for the Phillies wants to have been honored.

374
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000
However, that was washed away.

375
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,000
And the New York Mets are in town now for a single game tonight,

376
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,000
one tomorrow night, Saturday afternoon, and a doubleheader on Sunday.

377
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Bobby Klaus is up to lead.

378
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Offy's hitting through 13.

379
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,000
He has one home run and seven runs out at end.

380
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Joe Gevin with a record of no wins and four losses.

381
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Gips into the motion, and here's the first pitcher.

382
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
The ball game flung on and pops up.

383
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Down towards first, across the line, and Klaus Erichard.

384
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,000
McClendon is there, and Clinton makes the game.

385
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Klaus has fouled out the first on the first pitch of the game.

386
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,000
The first one away, and Ed Cranesville is coming up against the left-hander.

387
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,000
Cranesville tonight is batting second in the lineup.

388
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,000
He's hitting 340.

389
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000
He has four homers and 26 runs out at end.

390
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Cranesville is the leading net batter among the regulars at 340.

391
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:47,000
And Don Glenn-Denham, the Pirate's first baseman, is the leading batter among the Pirate regulars, also hitting 340.

392
00:31:47,000 --> 00:32:01,000
Here's the pitcher, and it's high for a ball.

393
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Gevin pitches a net for a call strike, as Ed Cranesville was taking.

394
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Gevin looks for a sign from Pagliaroni.

395
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,000
That's it, and here's the 1-1 delivery. Breaking ball, and this is blown away.

396
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000
So it's two balls and one strike.

397
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Joe Gevin started against the Mets in New York last Saturday.

398
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,000
He faced five men while pitching one-third of an inning.

399
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000
He allowed a three-run homer to Joe Christopher.

400
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000
The Pirates finally won that game seven to four.

401
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Don Chua got the win in relief.

402
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Here's 2-1 pitch, and it's in for a call strike.

403
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000
He went to the fastball. It's 2-2.

404
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Last year, Joe Gevin against the Mets, 1-2 and lost one.

405
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:47,000
His lifetime record against the Mets is four wins and two losses.

406
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Now the 2-2 delivery.

407
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,000
Swung on and fouled back into the seats and out of play.

408
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,000
The count holds at 2-2 with one man out and nobody on base.

409
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Yogi Berro on the coaching line for the Mets at first base,

410
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,000
and Don Hefner's on the line at third.

411
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,000
The Mets, of course, were rained out yesterday afternoon in Chicago,

412
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,000
so they came on to Pittsburgh a little early.

413
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,000
2-2 pitch. Low for a ball.

414
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:15,000
The count is run full. The Crane Bulls, 3-2.

415
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,000
So the Mets had one tie in Chicago and one rained out and won the other two games,

416
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000
so they swept the Pirates.

417
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Here's a playoff pitch. Swung on and missed.

418
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Trug him out.

419
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Joe Gevin chalks up his first strike out of the evening.

420
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,000
There are two away, nobody on base, and Joe Christopher is coming up.

421
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:36,000
Joe, a former Pittsburgh pilot himself, has a nine-game hitting streak going.

422
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,000
He's hitting 250 for the season with two homers and 20 runs batted in.

423
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Joe Christopher.

424
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:50,000
Christopher batting number three in manager Casey's singles batting order.

425
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,000
In Milwaukee this evening, at the end of a half inning, the Giants nothing

426
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,000
and the Braves coming to bat. Bob Shaw against Ken Johnson making his start for the Braves.

427
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,000
It's all-night action in the National League.

428
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,000
The Dodgers are at St. Louis. Houston at Cincinnati.

429
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Here's a pitch in for Carl Zeich.

430
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,000
The Philadelphia Phillies and the Chicago Cubs are not scheduled.

431
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:14,000
In the American League, the Minnesota Twins this afternoon beat the Boston Red Sox 4-3.

432
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000
The Twins are on top in the American League.

433
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Gamilow Pasquale got his seventh straight win. He has lost nine.

434
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Billy Mambo's catch started and picked the last five out.

435
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
It's now the two-run homers.

436
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000
Here's a pitch swung on and missed. Slow curveball.

437
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
A two-side count.

438
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:36,000
Here's Christopher. The afternoon game between Boston and Minnesota, the only American League game scheduled.

439
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Two and a half. Nobody on base here on the top half of the first.

440
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Joe Gibbon from Newton, Mississippi, has a BS degree from the University of Mississippi,

441
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:52,000
where he was an outstanding athlete.

442
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,000
And here's the two-strike delivery.

443
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,000
It's one and two. The umpire behind the plate is Mel Steiner.

444
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Al Varlich is at first. Augie Donatelli is at second.

445
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:07,000
And Sam Landis is around at third.

446
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
The one-two pitch.

447
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:16,000
In there for Carl. Strike three as he got Christopher looking for his second strike out of the inning.

448
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,000
No runs, no hits, no errors, none left.

449
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Score at the end of a half and he gets a mess nothing and the power is coming to bat.

450
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,000
It's hard to imagine New York City without every kind of jazz from Dixieland to Progretti.

451
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:38,000
Fortunately you don't have to.

452
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,000
That's Backstreet Rag, a uniquely American sound.

453
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:47,000
It came up from Mississippi out of New Orleans with the Negro Jazzmen who played it to the world.

454
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:57,000
They didn't stop with Dixieland and the blues.

455
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:02,000
Little David's Fugue by John Lewis is a new sound that's part of a new generation.

456
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,000
But whether it's the old jazz or the new, it's thirsty work for the musicians.

457
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:11,000
And when they put down their instruments, they'll pick up a cold beer, often wrangled, extra dry.

458
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:19,000
In fact, in New York City, where there are more kinds of jazz than in any other city in the world, more people drink Reingold than any other beer.

459
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Why do so many people like Reingold? We don't know, but we must be doing something right.

460
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:37,000
We'll be going out of the bottom half of the first inning and Bob Bailey will be up to face Galen Fisco with one man in line two so far.

461
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Most of the meds spent most of the day at the hotel watching and listening to the progress of the American astronauts.

462
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:55,000
And with regard to that, Orbit Number 7 started about a half hour ago and everything is going normal now with American astronauts, White and McZivot.

463
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:03,000
We'll keep you posted if there is any news to report with regard to their further progress during the course of this ballgame.

464
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Bob Bailey up now, he's hitting 245. He has three almost and 13 runs about a damn near to swinging the foul ball back and out of play.

465
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:19,000
He's strike one.

466
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Fisco is making his fourth start of the season. He hits the pitch twice in relief against the Pirates for a total of two innings, in which he'll have four hits and three runs.

467
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:40,000
Here's a pitch and it's half a ball. Last season, Fisco was nothing in one against the Pirates. Here's lifetime back against them is nothing in four.

468
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Fisco looks in to get a tie from Chris Canisero. And here is a one-one pitch. Fitch is way out, out off the glove of Canisero, comes all the way back, it's two and one.

469
00:37:52,000 --> 00:38:04,000
This is the first appearance of the New York Mets here at Fort Field this season. It is the last ballpark for the Mets that they did before starting the second time around.

470
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:09,000
So here it is early June and the Mets are just now making their first appearance at Fifth Brigade.

471
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:25,000
And as you know, under the 162-game schedule, each team plays in every other park a total of nine games. So the Mets will play five of their nine against the Pirates in this homestand.

472
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:29,000
Here is the swinging of it, two and two.

473
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:42,000
This weekend, the Mets and the Pirates played four games at Shea Stadium in New York. Each team plays every other team a total of 18 times during the course of the season, nine at home and nine away.

474
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:50,000
So when this series is complete, the Mets will have played half of their season's total with the Pirates.

475
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:59,000
Two and two is the count of Alias to play, Cisco deals, and it's in there for a call strike three, a fastball by him, and Galen Cisco starts up a strikeout.

476
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:06,000
That brings up centerfield to Bill Burton of the Pirates, hitting 303 at one home run, and eight runs that it ends.

477
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,000
And playing centerfield, and let me see.

478
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:16,000
On the coaching line for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Johnny Pesky is at first base and Alex Jamis is the coach at third.

479
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:23,000
The Pirates manage to get here by Harry Walker, Harry the Hatch.

480
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:29,000
Burton is a left-hand batter, started out originally in the Yankee system.

481
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:37,000
Here is the pitch that is outside for a ball.

482
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,000
Yankees gave up Burton to the Cardinals when they got Enos Flutter.

483
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Here's a one-oh pitch, change, and it hit on the ground to second.

484
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:48,000
Clouse is over up with it, Craneville goes to the bag, and there's a suggestion, time two away.

485
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Craneville started for the ball at first and then saw Clouse, which gets good, so then had to hustle over to the bag, six-two.

486
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,000
Two away, and Roberto Cementi is up now.

487
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,000
Lennon, against the New York Mets, has been going like a house of fire.

488
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:07,000
He's 11 for 19, that is a clip of five, 79.

489
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Mets couldn't get him out last weekend.

490
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:14,000
This season's batting average is up now to 308, he has 17 runs batted in.

491
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Right-hand batter.

492
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Galen Sisco with the pitch, to the right-hand batter and it's inside for a ball.

493
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:29,000
The Mets with an end field of Ed Craneville at first, Bobby Clouse at second, Roy Mcmillan at shortstop, and Charlie Smith at third.

494
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Ron Favota in left field tonight, Jim Hickman in center, Joe Christopher in right field.

495
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Here's a pitch inside. Right field can be a tough one here at Forksfield because there is a wall out there and there is a screen also off which the ball is in play.

496
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:54,000
Joe Christopher, having played with the parrots here, is familiar with it and the Mets management figured they'd rather have Christopher over there than to have Favota over there.

497
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,000
Favota never having played at this ballpark at all.

498
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,000
He's just playing in a foul ball, backing out of play.

499
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:05,000
So it is Favota playing left field and Christopher playing right.

500
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:13,000
Last year, of course, Christopher was the regular right fielder for the Mets throughout most of the season.

501
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:24,000
He was switched over to left at the start of sling training this year because the Mets were breaking at that time, but Johnny Lewis would be given a good shot at being the regular right fielder.

502
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Here's a 2-1 pitch, high for a ball.

503
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:46,000
For now, Cusco goes behind 3-1 to Roberto Clemente and Willie Sargill is on deck.

504
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:56,000
Cusco with a 3-1 delivery and it's low. He walks Clemente. Coming with two men out here in the bottom of the first and Willie Sargill is coming up.

505
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:02,000
Sargill is another man the Mets are getting up. He's got 7 for 16. That's 438.

506
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:11,000
This season's running average is 241. Sargill leads the Paracen home runs with 10 and he is second and runs that at end with 23.

507
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Clemente leads the Paracen RBI to 27. Two men out in the runner's first. No score in the bottom half of the first inning. Forbesfield in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

508
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:40,000
Clemente leads at first base. Cusco's pitch is low and away from all. Clemente is kneeling in the on deck circle.

509
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:49,000
Forbesfield, scene of a 1960 World Series between the Yankees and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

510
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:56,000
One old pitch, low and hit on the ground to second. Second by Clouetown. Throw it on in time and Sargill ground-dragged Clouetown to Plainville.

511
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:03,000
No runs, no hits, no one left and the score at the end of the inning is the Mets nothing in the Pirates.

512
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:12,000
Mets to be coming home to Shea Stadium Tuesday night, Wednesday night, Thursday night against the San Francisco Giants. Friday night, Saturday afternoon and a doubleheader on Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

521
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:14,000
We pass now for station identification. This is the New York Mets baseball network.

522
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:27,000
This is WGY, 8 Tenant Isles, connect with me. The time is 8.31.

523
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:32,000
This is Lindsay Nelson with Ralph Keiner and Bob Murphy at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

524
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,000
And Charlie Smith is up for the Mets. Joe Gibbon deals the pitch.

525
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:42,000
Swung on and popped up foul. Coming on back is Kechup Calderoni, but it's in the deep and out of play.

526
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:51,000
Well, there's a big Ron Swaboda banner in the third deck here at Forbes Field.

527
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Only banner, I say, of any kind around the ballpark.

528
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:04,000
Charlie Smith, after having been out of the Mets lineup with a cold and a respiratory infection, is back in the night at third base.

529
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Here's the pitch, swung on and Charlie Smith is a little bit out of here doing batting practice.

530
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:16,000
He says he feels fine. He's hitting 276 for the PZ at five homers and 20 runs battered in.

531
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:20,000
He was in the midst of a hot streak when he went out of the lineup.

532
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:25,000
The two-strike delivery, and it's a little tight for Charlie. It's one and two.

533
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:32,000
Swaboda is waiting in the on-deck circle. Ron, of course, was out of the lineup during the Chicago series, but he's back in the night.

534
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:36,000
He just pulled off for a day or two to try to get himself reorganized.

535
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:40,000
Here's the one-two pitch, swung on and missed for strike three.

536
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:47,000
Actually, he tipped it a little bit back into the glove of Al Joroni, says umpire Steiner.

537
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:54,000
One away, and now Ron Swaboda, who has 11 home runs and 28 runs battered in, is hitting 273.

538
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:59,000
Ron Swaboda, one!

539
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:04,000
The same boost, Swaboda, about here, there, about previously.

540
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:08,000
The pitch to the right hand battered, swung on and missed for strike one.

541
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:12,000
Hickman drove in four runs, and each of the next runs in Chicago.

542
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,000
Now it's going, aren't we?

543
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:28,000
We are missing the play-by-play for Hickman's at bat, but he did fly out to Roberto Clemente in right field.

544
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:35,000
There was nothing across for the Mets in their second inning.

545
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:47,000
We're going out to the bottom half of the second inning, and first baseman Don Glenn Dunnant is up to lead off for the Pirates.

546
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:52,000
Glenn Dunnant, off to a great start with a 340 batting average.

547
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,000
He has three home runs with 27 runs battered in.

548
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,000
And the number three, Don Glenn Dunnant.

549
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:10,000
And Glenn is a tall, rangy right hand batter, facing right hand pitcher Galen Sisco.

550
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Inside for ball, it's 1-0.

551
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:23,000
Mr. John Galbraith, the owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, is here tonight.

552
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,000
Sisco, back off the rubber, Don Glenn Dunnant steps out.

553
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:39,000
Sisco was the captain of the 1958 Ohio State football team.

554
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,000
Mr. John Galbraith was one of his big backers, of course.

555
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:49,000
Here's a swing and a ground ball to clear it, taken by Charlie Flint, and he throws on in time, so there's one away.

556
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:55,000
John Galbraith is one of the big, big supporters of the Ohio State football team.

557
00:47:55,000 --> 00:48:00,000
And Sisco was linebacker and captain of the 1958 team.

558
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,000
Here's Joe Masurowski coming up.

559
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:09,000
Mas is hitting 316 with two homers and 12 runs battered in.

560
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,000
Well, you wonder where you find baseball players.

561
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,000
Sometimes you just find them.

562
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,000
He was signed, as was right out of a tryout camp.

563
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,000
Here's a pitch low for a ball.

564
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:30,000
One away, nobody on base, and the bottom of the second.

565
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:54,000
One-oh pitch and it's low for a ball, two and 0.

566
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,000
We're still sort of in twilight time here in Pittsburgh.

567
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:05,000
Here's a pitch low for a ball, as there is a mixture now of daylight and artificial light.

568
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,000
Sisco's gone behind three balls and no strikes to Masurowski.

569
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,000
Sisco has struck out one and walked one so far.

570
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:26,000
Waiting on back is the shortstop, Andre Rogers.

571
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,000
Three-oh pitch and it's done for a call strike.

572
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:38,000
It's three and one.

573
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:43,000
And the three-one delivery, misses low and away, ball four.

574
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:48,000
Second walk issued by Sisco puts Mas out at first with one man out and Andre Rogers coming up.

575
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:58,000
The shortstop is hitting 340, one homer and 10 runs battered in.

576
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:06,000
For the past three seasons, Rogers was the regular shortstop of the Chicago Cubs.

577
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:15,000
Came to the park in exchange for shortstop Bobby Panger, who now is the regular shortstop for the Cubs.

578
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:21,000
And there was some cash in the deal as well.

579
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:30,000
There's a pitch and it's in for a call strike and it's thrown down to first not in time.

580
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:34,000
Rogers originally was the property of the Giants.

581
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:43,000
He was signed when a visiting high school principal happened to see him playing softball.

582
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:56,000
Here's a pitch and it's thrown on and bowled back, two strike counts.

583
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:00,000
The usher here at Forbes Field has been re-outfitted this season.

584
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:13,000
They are wearing jackets and matching hats this year.

585
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:18,000
This is a two-strike delivery to Rogers and it's a little tight, one and two.

586
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:26,000
One man out and Andre at first, no score in the bottom of the second.

587
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:38,000
At the end of an inning and a half now, the Giants nothing to braves, nothing, Bob Shaw against Ken Johnson.

588
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,000
Zizko looks for a sign, Mataloski leads it first.

589
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:49,000
Zizko steps off and does not throw.

590
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:54,000
One-two pitch, thrown on and hits on the ground through the hole in the left for Bay Fit.

591
00:51:54,000 --> 00:52:04,000
The drive by Swoboda and Mataloski second and that's the first hit of the game coming off the bat of Andre Rogers with one man out here in the bottom of the second.

592
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:09,000
The pilots have runners in first and second with one man out and Gaglione is coming up.

593
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:23,000
Gaglione is hitting 232 with four homers and 13 runs to batting death.

594
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:33,000
As we promised, we'll try to keep you posted on the progress of the American astronauts White and Mcdivitt throughout the course of this fall game.

595
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:37,000
Here is the pitch and it's in for a call strike to value running.

596
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:43,000
Astronaut White is now asleep and Mcdivitt is piloting the capsule.

597
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:51,000
Gemini control has given the go-ahead to do 18 orbits.

598
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:58,000
Ed White had quite a time walking around outside that kept through the day.

599
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:02,000
Here's the swing and a foul ball off and out of play.

600
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:07,000
And Andy Rogers at first thought that it was a pass ball and he had moved up and was trying to get Mazz to move on.

601
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:12,000
It was off the end of the batter's value on it, the two-strike count.

602
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:25,000
Also a bulletin. President Johnson has just announced that he is withdrawing all remaining United States Marines from Santo Domingo.

603
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,000
One man out, runners first, second, no score.

604
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,000
Two-strike count to Paglione with pitcher Joe Gibbon on deck.

605
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:34,000
And here's the pitch just missed inside, one and two.

606
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,000
There is action down in the mid-bow pin.

607
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:40,000
Now Tom Parsons, the long man in the bow pin, in more ways than one.

608
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,000
He's up and throwing.

609
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:49,000
He was formerly the property of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

610
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:56,000
Here's the one-two pitch, both tied, it's two and two.

611
00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:03,000
Paglione last year was out hit on the Pirate's Bow Club only by Roberto Comete.

612
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:18,000
Paglione had a season's running average last year of 295.

613
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:25,000
Mazarski at second, Rodgers at first, Sisco off the stretch.

614
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:38,000
And he steps off the rubber. Paglione steps out of the batter's box.

615
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,000
Now we're set once again.

616
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,000
Two-two pitch, swung on in mid.

617
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:47,000
Sisco strikes out Paglione for his second strike out of the ninth.

618
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,000
Two away runners holding for his second and Joe Gibbon's coming up.

619
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,000
Joe Gibbon is a pretty good hitting pitcher.

620
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:57,000
He's been a four-team down this year and he's had two hits.

621
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,000
But he's a fine all-around athlete.

622
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:20,000
Started his baseball career as a first baseman.

623
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:24,000
Gibbon is a right-hand batter. Here's the pitch and it's a check swing foul ball.

624
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:29,000
Back in the thick and out of play for strike one.

625
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:35,000
Danny Murtagh, who retired last year as manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates,

626
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:39,000
is on hand here tonight and he was in the Mets dugout before the ball game,

627
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,000
renewing a few acquaintances.

628
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,000
He's still in the Pirate organization.

629
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:50,000
Murtagh took over here in 1957 from Bobby Reagan.

630
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,000
Here's the pitch and it's in for a called strike.

631
00:55:52,000 --> 00:56:09,000
A two-strike count, not a Gibbon.

632
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,000
Runners lead for his second.

633
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:16,000
Here's the pitch, breaking ball swung on and missed and dropped by Canada.

634
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:21,000
He picks it up and Tag's Gibbon, the side, is retired.

635
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:25,000
No runs, one hit, one walk, no errors, two left.

636
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:31,000
The score at the end of two is the Pirates nothing and the Mets nothing.

637
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:36,000
Well, here's the date you want to make a note of, Saturday afternoon, July 24th,

638
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:40,000
because that will be the date of the annual Old Timers Day at Shade Stadium.

639
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,000
The top stars of the old New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers will be assembled

640
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:47,000
from all over the country to appear once again before the local fans.

641
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,000
We'll be telling you who they are throughout the next few weeks

642
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,000
as their acceptance has come in.

643
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,000
The Mets will play host to the Philadelphia Phillies that day

644
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:58,000
and that game will take place right after all the colorful and nostalgic ceremonies

645
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:03,000
that make Old Timers Day one of the most popular events of the year.

646
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:08,000
The date again, Saturday, July 24th, so make your plans to attend right now.

647
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:11,000
By the way, that will also be Lady's Day.

648
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,000
We're going to the third inning, no score on the ballgame,

649
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,000
and if anybody should be familiar with these surroundings,

650
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:22,000
it's a fellow named Ralph Keiner because during his fabulous career in the National League,

651
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:25,000
there were seven seasons when he was in a powered uniform

652
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:29,000
that nobody in the National League hit more home runs than Ralph Keiner.

653
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,000
Here he is.

654
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,000
Thank you, Lindsey, and hi there, everyone.

655
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:39,000
Top of the third, the first time up for Roy McMillan as he comes up against Joe Gibbons.

656
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:45,000
So far Joe has retired six in a row, striking out three in the process.

657
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,000
Roy, a right-hand batter, and the first pitch by the left-hand pitcher

658
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,000
is taking a fastball in for a strike.

659
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:01,000
McMillan batting at 2.56, one home run and 14 runs battered in.

660
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:06,000
He'll be followed by Chris Candacero and Galen Cisco here in the top of the third.

661
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,000
No score on the game.

662
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,000
And a swing and a miss at strike two.

663
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:18,000
All this game being beamed around the world through the Armed Forces,

664
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:24,000
by Armed Forces Radio, and salute from us right here in Forbes Field to all of you everywhere.

665
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:28,000
Two-strike delivery is way inside a slider, and Roy has to pull away the count now.

666
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:30,000
middle of Bay City. The Mets have their free kick.

667
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,000
It's one ball and two strikes.

668
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,000
It's the first pitch.

669
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,000
And the Mets have their free kick.

670
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,000
It's a two-strike delivery.

671
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:40,000
Twilight still taking some of the effect away from the lights here at Forbes Field.

672
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,000
And a swing and a miss.

673
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,000
It's a pitcher's night right up to now.

674
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:45,000
It's a two-strike delivery.

675
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:49,000
And the Mets have their free kick.

676
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,000
It's a two-strike delivery.

677
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:56,000
It's a two-strike delivery.

678
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:13,000
Well picked up by Bill Burton in center field.

679
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:18,000
Roy McGrillon, the first man to reach for the New York Mets.

680
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:24,120
in 36 games. At the end of two, Milwaukee won San Francisco nothing. Bob Shaw pitching

681
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:28,920
for the Johns against Ken Johnson for the Braves. Starting pitchers at St. Louis, the

682
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:34,920
Dodgers there. Sandy Koufax going for the Dodgers and Bob Perkey pitching for the St.

683
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:41,920
Louis Cardinals. First pitch to Chris Cannazeros, swung on and fouled at strike one. Bob Perkey

684
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:47,920
is taking over the starting rotation from Tracy Stalart. Tracy coming up with a back

685
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:54,920
injury in Houston. Also scheduled in the National League, Houston at Cincinnati, Philadelphia

686
00:59:55,120 --> 01:00:00,680
and Chicago not scheduled. One game complete in the American League, Minnesota playing

687
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:05,400
Boston winning 4-3 behind Pasquale in seventh wind. The runner goes, a swing and the ball

688
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:10,920
dropped by the catcher and Roy McMillan goes in the second. Dolan Bates for Roy. Chris

689
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:15,320
Cannazeros on the pitch, swinging at a pitch that was low and inside protecting the runner.

690
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:19,840
Good play by Chris Cannazeros. It bothered Pallieroni and he dropped the ball. There

691
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:26,840
was no play at second. So the Mets have a runner at second base. No one out. Top of

692
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:33,840
the third. And the two strike pitch. Back to play. It's off of the club and it actually

693
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:39,640
hit Cannazeros. McMillan was off to third. He'll have to go back to second and Chris

694
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:43,080
Cannazeros who is rushed by the pitches on at first. So the Mets for the first time have

695
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:50,080
runners at first and second. Still low and away and Galen Sisco coming up. They are young

696
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:55,080
people's future depends on your hiring them today. Call your local State Employment Service

697
01:00:55,080 --> 01:01:10,080
office for details on this summer's youth opportunity campaign. Galen Sisco the batter.

698
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:17,080
And it has been up one time and had four hits. Correction, it has been up four times and

699
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:22,840
had one hit. Now the Barrett's looking for a punt and he swings away and fouls the ball

700
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:28,680
down the right field side. By Don Glendinan who didn't close. Both Glendinan and Bob Bailey

701
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:35,680
charging in and Galen Sisco not funny with the defense so tight. One strike count. Roy

702
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:42,680
McMillan at second base. A base hit and a stolen base is first this year. Chris Cannazeros

703
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:58,360
first and now fake and a throw at second base as Joe Gibbons swings around. No one covering

704
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:05,360
the ball. McMillan back to the back. Don Glendinan already at about 60 feet away from Galen Sisco.

705
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:13,920
He's just completely ignoring the runner at first base. Correction, Cannazeros there has

706
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:20,920
to worry about Bill Mazurowski. The second baseman. Now the pitch back. Taking inside

707
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:26,240
off the glove of Pali Rodin. McMillan trying for third. He gets in there and no play. Going

708
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:31,240
behind the play down to second base is Chris Cannazeros and a throw at a wild pitch. All

709
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:36,240
off the glove of Jim Pali Rodin. He picked it up right behind the batter and it looks

710
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:41,240
as though he might have a shot at third base but he didn't let go of the ball and Roy slid

711
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:47,480
in with no throw being made. So the Mets now have runners at second and third. No one away

712
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:54,480
in the top of the third. No score in the game. And the pitch back to Cannazeros to Chris.

713
01:02:54,480 --> 01:03:15,480
And he swings and fouls it off. The count goes at one ball two strikes once again. One and

714
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:22,480
two on Galen Sisco. The wind up and the pitch back to the right hand batter. A foul ball

715
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:29,480
again this time on the right side into the stands and the count holds at one and two.

716
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:40,480
Infield playing it against the Mets here in the top of the third hoping to cut off a run.

717
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:45,480
On deck batter Bobby Clough. Now once again at Joe Gibbon back to the play. And the pitch

718
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:49,480
bounce to the middle. It goes on through in the center field. Throwing easy Roy McMillan

719
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:54,480
for third but holding at third base moving over from second is Chris Cannazeros. Chris

720
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:58,480
had to wait at second base to see whether or not Bill Mazurowski could come up with

721
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:02,480
a play. He almost got to the ball. It was a high bouncer right through the middle. But

722
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:06,480
it went around through and then Cannazeros moved over to third. So the Mets have taken

723
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:10,480
the early lead here by scoring a run in the top of the third. Joe Lowe went away. Galen

724
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:15,480
Sisco on at first base with his second hit this year. He's been up five times. And the

725
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:30,480
second coming up is Bobby Clough. Bobby a right hand batter hit the first pitch his

726
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:39,480
first time up. Cloughed out to the first baseman. Joe Gibbon in the stretch side and to the

727
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:51,480
right. And Clough takes the strike in the outside corner. One strike down on Bobby Clough.

728
01:04:51,480 --> 01:05:01,480
Bobby batting at two-thirteen. Now the left hander back again and the curveball filed

729
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:08,480
away coming straight back from home plate. The cow moves up to hole in two. Tommy Sisco

730
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:13,480
the right hander warming up in the bullpen for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Mets lead one

731
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:17,480
nothing with no one out. We're in the top of the third inning. Runners at first and

732
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:26,480
third for the New York Saints. Two strike count on Bobby Clough. Infield back looking

733
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:29,480
for the double play with the exception of the third baseman Bob Bailey. And the pitch

734
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:39,480
back is low and away. One ball and two strikes. Don Glennendon at first base holding against

735
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:47,480
the runner there. Lights are starting to take much better effect now here at Forbes Field.

736
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:52,480
Twilight sort of disappearing. One-two pitch bounce slowly foul down the third base side

737
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:59,480
taken by Don Hefner. He looks at it and tosses it out to the mound. Count stays at one and

738
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:07,480
two on Clough. First 45 minutes of this game suddenly a difficult time for the hitters

739
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:15,480
to see as the Twilight had more effect than the field lights here at Forbes Field. Now

740
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:20,480
one ball and two strikes. Joe Given back to the plate and the pitch taken inside a fast

741
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:39,480
ball. Count evens at two and two. Two balls, two strikes. Given sets again. And his next

742
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:45,480
pitch is his hind here on the first base side. Bill Mazurowski and Don Glennendon there.

743
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:50,480
Don Glennendon makes the call and makes the catch. So the Firehouse have picked up their

744
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:55,480
first out here at the top of the third. Runners holding at first and third and it brings up

745
01:06:55,480 --> 01:07:05,480
left hand hitting Eddie Craneball. Craneball struck out swinging at a three-two fastball

746
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:15,480
at first time up. One of the three strikeouts registered by the left-hander Joe Given. Mets

747
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:23,480
have one run and two hits. The Pirates have no run and one base hit. Runners at first

748
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:29,480
and third. The pitch by Joe Given is hit foul off to the left side and with a stand strike

749
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:40,480
one, Craneball behind a fastball fouling the ball off to the left side. One strike out

750
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:48,480
with one away in the top of the third. Mets in front one nothing. And given back to Craneball

751
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:52,480
and the ball is fouled again to the left side. This time a curveball fouled off the end of

752
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:59,480
the bat. So Joe Given out in front 0-2. John has scored a run in the top of the third against

753
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:04,480
Milwaukee that scored outside at 1-1 with the Braves coming up in the bottom half of the

754
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:12,480
third against Bob Shaw. Ken Johnson pitching for the Braves. Now the two strike pitch.

755
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:17,480
Curveball hits deep to center field. This will score a run. Tagged up a third is Cannadero.

756
01:08:17,480 --> 01:08:22,480
Holding halfway at first base as the run scores across the plate to Mets take a lead 2-0 Galen

757
01:08:22,480 --> 01:08:29,480
Sisko. So a fly ball, a sacrifice fly for Eddie Craneball. His 27th run batted in this

758
01:08:29,480 --> 01:08:35,480
year. He leads the club in that department with the exception of runs for Bota who has

759
01:08:35,480 --> 01:08:45,480
28. And the batter coming up is Joe Christopher. Joe, right hand batter, was called out and

760
01:08:45,480 --> 01:08:58,480
strikes his first time up. Joe has a nine game consecutive game streak going. Over that

761
01:08:58,480 --> 01:09:05,480
period he batted 382. And his first pitch is outside of Lowell. Fastball moving away

762
01:09:05,480 --> 01:09:22,480
at ball one. Mets lead 2-0 with two outs in the top of the third. Larks with a 12 game

763
01:09:22,480 --> 01:09:28,480
streak going for them, the longest in the league this year. Now the one-oh delivery slipping

764
01:09:28,480 --> 01:09:32,480
out of the hand to give it a good play on it by Pagliaroni. Ball two. Ball is high and

765
01:09:32,480 --> 01:09:43,480
away. Two balls, no strikes. Roy McMillan got it going with a single through the middle

766
01:09:43,480 --> 01:09:48,480
of the first hit for the Mets in the third. Chris Catazero is hit by a pitch ball. McMillan

767
01:09:48,480 --> 01:09:53,480
had stolen second for that put runner at first and second. A long fly ball to right. Galen

768
01:09:53,480 --> 01:09:59,480
Sisko single in a run and a fly ball by Craneball got the other now done. Roberto Clemente makes

769
01:09:59,480 --> 01:10:05,480
the catch to retire to size. Two runs in the inning for the Mets on two hits. No errors

770
01:10:05,480 --> 01:10:10,480
and one man left on and the score at the end of two and a half the Mets two, the Pirates

771
01:10:10,480 --> 01:10:15,480
nothing. You know there's a lot more to beer drinking than meets the eye and you'd be

772
01:10:15,480 --> 01:10:20,480
surprised at what strong feelings people have about what they drink their beer out of. Some

773
01:10:20,480 --> 01:10:24,480
people like to drink beer from a can and some from a bottle. And there are those who wouldn't

774
01:10:24,480 --> 01:10:29,480
drink it anyway but from a glass. We think a lot of rangle drinkers are going to be happy

775
01:10:29,480 --> 01:10:35,480
with our new Chug-A-Mug. The Chug-A-Mug is a wide mouthed glass mug that holds 12 ounces

776
01:10:35,480 --> 01:10:40,480
of rangle extra dry. It doesn't even feel right when you pick it up. A little cold brown

777
01:10:40,480 --> 01:10:46,480
mug has a shape and weight and gurgle of a good third crunching drink of beer. Of course

778
01:10:46,480 --> 01:10:51,480
that's what you get because there's rangle inside. You don't need an opener either. You

779
01:10:51,480 --> 01:10:56,480
just pull the tab and the top comes off with a hint that sounds like the good rangle flavor.

780
01:10:56,480 --> 01:11:01,480
Look for the special Chug-A-Mug displays in your area. Drink the beer that's number one

781
01:11:01,480 --> 01:11:07,480
in New York City and drink it from our little drink shaped rangle Chug-A-Mug. We think you'll

782
01:11:07,480 --> 01:11:14,480
agree that we must be doing something right. Right now we pause for station identification.

783
01:11:14,480 --> 01:11:33,480
This is a New York Mets baseball network. A ten-on-the-dial WGY is connected. Ralph

784
01:11:33,480 --> 01:11:38,480
Keiner along with Lindsay Nelson and Bob Murphy from Forts Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

785
01:11:38,480 --> 01:11:44,480
The Mets leading 2-0 as the Pirates come up in the bottom half of the third. It'll be

786
01:11:44,480 --> 01:11:49,480
the job of the batting order for the Pirates. Bob Bailey, Bill Burton and Roberto Cameni.

787
01:11:49,480 --> 01:11:54,480
And on the mound for the Mets, Galen Cicco who has picked through two innings giving

788
01:11:54,480 --> 01:12:02,480
up no runs allowing one base hit. He walked two and struck out three in that period. Bailey

789
01:12:02,480 --> 01:12:09,480
struck out. He was gone looking at a slider first time. On his average it's 2-44. Right

790
01:12:09,480 --> 01:12:17,480
hand batter. Bailey playing the third base wearing number seven. And Cicco with his first

791
01:12:17,480 --> 01:12:28,480
pitch. The curve ball low at ball one. Now on the left field line in Forts Field at 3-65.

792
01:12:28,480 --> 01:12:34,480
Right field line 300 feet. Area there guarded by a high fence. Pitch back is low and it's

793
01:12:34,480 --> 01:12:43,480
ball two. Just a shade to the right of center field, 4-36. Just a shade to the left in center

794
01:12:43,480 --> 01:12:52,480
field over 450 feet. Left center 406 feet and right center 3-75. So this is a big ballpark.

795
01:12:52,480 --> 01:12:57,480
Totally the biggest park in the National League. Pitch back of the plate and it's in for a

796
01:12:57,480 --> 01:13:04,480
strike. Two balls, one strike. Out in the center field area, beautiful background of

797
01:13:04,480 --> 01:13:11,480
trees and vines. Back of that of Green Hill. So it's a good hitters background. Now Cicco

798
01:13:11,480 --> 01:13:16,480
misses low again and the count goes to three balls and one strike. Ballpark located in

799
01:13:16,480 --> 01:13:28,480
a very pleasant area. And Cicco now at 3-1 and the pitcher's bounce in the hole going

800
01:13:28,480 --> 01:13:33,480
over McMillan in the backhand and he has a long draw and he can't get it there in time.

801
01:13:33,480 --> 01:13:40,480
But what a play by Ross. Great backhand stop by McMillan. He got something on it. Made

802
01:13:40,480 --> 01:13:46,480
a great throw but Bailey beat it out by about a step. So the Pirates have a runner at first

803
01:13:46,480 --> 01:13:50,480
base in the bottom half of the third with no one out. Their second base hit off again

804
01:13:50,480 --> 01:14:03,480
and Cicco, the batter will be Bill Burton, left hand hitting center fielder. Bill grounded

805
01:14:03,480 --> 01:14:13,480
off at second base his first time up. His average is 3-0-1. And Cicco now in the set

806
01:14:13,480 --> 01:14:17,480
position. Now look at first base, the pitch of the plate. It's going on a miss. Fastball,

807
01:14:17,480 --> 01:14:27,480
he was late on it. Strike one. Burton, the second man in the batting order beyond deck

808
01:14:27,480 --> 01:14:39,480
batter is Roberto Comenzi. Met's lead, 2-0. And the pitch back to the plate is inside

809
01:14:39,480 --> 01:14:44,480
of the middle of the first base and Bailey dives back in safely. Close play and a good

810
01:14:44,480 --> 01:14:51,480
tag on the play by a crane ball after a good throw by Chris Ganadero. One ball, one strike

811
01:14:51,480 --> 01:15:05,480
count. No one out, bottom half of the third. Now Cicco look at first base and back again

812
01:15:05,480 --> 01:15:20,480
and the pitch is on the outside corner. Ball strike two. One and two on Bill Burton. Cicco

813
01:15:20,480 --> 01:15:25,480
looking for his first win this year. Both pitchers have not registered a victory. Cicco

814
01:15:25,480 --> 01:15:33,480
is on two and Joe Given is on four. Given the only man of the starting rotation not

815
01:15:33,480 --> 01:15:37,480
to win a game in the prior 12 game winning streak. Now the pitch back swung on him and

816
01:15:37,480 --> 01:15:42,480
strike three and Cicco with a fastball on the inside corner picks up his fourth strike

817
01:15:42,480 --> 01:15:55,480
count. Now your face Comenzi. Roberto Comenzi getting the hand as he comes up. He walks

818
01:15:55,480 --> 01:15:59,480
in the three one pitch his first time up. He's batting the 3-0-8. Against the Mets he

819
01:15:59,480 --> 01:16:09,480
has 11 for 19 in a four game series. The first time these two teams met. 5-79 average. So

820
01:16:09,480 --> 01:16:16,480
he's still at that average against the Mets so far this year. And Galen Cicco with his

821
01:16:16,480 --> 01:16:21,480
first pitch. It hard to the hole in the left field of base six. Now on the second base

822
01:16:21,480 --> 01:16:27,480
goes Bob Batey and he holds there as the field comes in from Ron Svoboda. So that put runners

823
01:16:27,480 --> 01:16:42,480
at first and second was going away and brings up Willie Starjow. Third hit for the Pirates.

824
01:16:42,480 --> 01:16:48,480
On Starjow the big home run man for the Pirates coming up. He has 10 home runs and 23 runs

825
01:16:48,480 --> 01:16:58,480
to get it in. He's batting at 2-39. First time up he ground it out hard to second base.

826
01:16:58,480 --> 01:17:04,480
Galen Cicco with runners at first and second. And his first pitch to Starjow is a ball pitch.

827
01:17:04,480 --> 01:17:10,480
Good play on it by Catazero. He moves out to his left to take it just off the ground.

828
01:17:10,480 --> 01:17:20,480
Ball almost getting by. It's ball one. Bob Shaw has been knocked out of the box by the

829
01:17:20,480 --> 01:17:24,480
Milwaukee's Rays in the bottom half of the third. No runs in that we have on our sheet

830
01:17:24,480 --> 01:17:31,480
here but in pitching Ron Herbaugh. James Had one-one going to the bottom half of the third.

831
01:17:31,480 --> 01:17:40,480
Swing at a low curve ball. One ball one strike. Ken Johnson pitching for Milwaukee. He was

832
01:17:40,480 --> 01:17:47,480
a Guaric bum. They used to natural about two weeks ago. Now Tom Parsons warming up again

833
01:17:47,480 --> 01:17:53,480
in the bullpen for the Mets. He was up in the second when the Pirates threatened on

834
01:17:53,480 --> 01:18:01,480
a base hit and a walk. But Cicco worked out of the jam. A change curve bounce to the dirt.

835
01:18:01,480 --> 01:18:06,480
It gets away and goes over to the Pirates. And the runners move up. Bob Bailey going

836
01:18:06,480 --> 01:18:14,480
to third base and Roberto Cammini on down to second on the wild pit. So the jam run

837
01:18:14,480 --> 01:18:37,480
at second base now and Galen Cicco in the middle of the jam. Two ball one strike in

838
01:18:37,480 --> 01:18:43,480
and Chris Gennazer off to talk it over with Cicco. In the stands today the owner of the

839
01:18:43,480 --> 01:18:49,480
Pittsburgh Pirates, the principal owner, Mr. John Galbraith. He was very instrumental

840
01:18:49,480 --> 01:18:54,480
in Galen Cicco playing at Ohio State on the football team. John a very strong benefactor

841
01:18:54,480 --> 01:19:04,480
of the Ohio State University. Galbraith makes his home in Columbus, Ohio and of course has

842
01:19:04,480 --> 01:19:13,480
businesses here in New York and many other places. He brought into the Pirates in 1947

843
01:19:13,480 --> 01:19:21,480
along with Frank McKinney of Indianapolis. Buying the ballclub from William Bensranger

844
01:19:21,480 --> 01:19:26,480
who had the ballclub for many years there in Pittsburgh. He in turn had the ballclub

845
01:19:26,480 --> 01:19:36,480
from Willie Dreyfus. Now the pitch as Darjeel takes outside misses and it's a ball three.

846
01:19:36,480 --> 01:19:47,480
Three balls one strike. And Galen Cicco a pitch away from having the bases loaded. On

847
01:19:47,480 --> 01:19:56,480
deck batter Don Glendinus. Now the three one delivery. It has taken Lone away ball four

848
01:19:56,480 --> 01:20:10,480
and that loads him up. Third walk by Galen Cicco. Base is now loaded and Don Glendinus

849
01:20:10,480 --> 01:20:21,480
a batter. Don ran it out the third his first time up. Bob Bailey at third base. Now Manny

850
01:20:21,480 --> 01:20:27,480
at second base. Darjeel at first. Glendinus batting at three thirty seven with three home

851
01:20:27,480 --> 01:20:33,480
runs and twenty seven runs battered in. That's leading by a score of two nothing with the

852
01:20:33,480 --> 01:20:41,480
fire at the end of the pitch. It is hit off the handle. Little fly ball back to the short

853
01:20:41,480 --> 01:20:48,480
top Roy McMillan. He backs up on the grass takes it and makes the play. Bill Cicco picks

854
01:20:48,480 --> 01:20:53,480
up his second out now. Runners holding all the way around and Cicco will take on Bill

855
01:20:53,480 --> 01:21:05,480
Mazurowski. Mazurowski walked his first time up on a three one pitch. He has an average

856
01:21:05,480 --> 01:21:18,480
of three sixteen with two home runs and twelve runs battered in. That's the lead of two nothing

857
01:21:18,480 --> 01:21:23,480
in jeopardy here with runners at first second and third. Two men away bottom half of the

858
01:21:23,480 --> 01:21:30,480
third. And Galen Cicco working hard in the mound. He has a sign and wind up at fifth.

859
01:21:30,480 --> 01:21:37,480
I picked almost getting away at zero one handed over the top of the head of Bill Mazurowski.

860
01:21:37,480 --> 01:21:49,480
It was a high curve ball flipping out and almost going on back to the trees. One ball

861
01:21:49,480 --> 01:21:58,480
no strikes. Infield set deep they have a play at any pace. Outfield shaded toward left field

862
01:21:58,480 --> 01:22:06,480
and fairly deep against the right hand batter. Wind is going in from left field here tonight.

863
01:22:06,480 --> 01:22:14,480
See the wind blows toward that field. It's been a pleasant cool day all day. Wind from

864
01:22:14,480 --> 01:22:19,480
that direction usually brings that type of weather. Now the pitch back to the play. The

865
01:22:19,480 --> 01:22:23,480
drive to left. It's in the air coming over Sopota. He has a chance for it and he makes

866
01:22:23,480 --> 01:22:28,480
the play. On Sopota about two shifts away from the foul line taking that line drive

867
01:22:28,480 --> 01:22:34,480
to retire the side. Throw the Mets get out of the jam as Galen Cicco leads three on.

868
01:22:34,480 --> 01:22:41,480
Two base hits. And the score at the end of three. The Mets do the power of nothing. Now

869
01:22:41,480 --> 01:22:48,480
word from Cool Filter King. Back for the fourth. The Mets in front do nothing as they come

870
01:22:48,480 --> 01:22:53,480
up against Joe Gibbons. First man up will be Charlie Smith. Charlie batting for the

871
01:22:53,480 --> 01:22:58,480
second time. He struck out of the curve ball his first time up. Right hand batter and Joe

872
01:22:58,480 --> 01:23:07,480
Gibbons a left hander with his first pitch. It's fouled off and out of play. Strike one.

873
01:23:07,480 --> 01:23:12,480
Charlie batting 274. He's been hitting well for the Mets. In fact was hitting extremely

874
01:23:12,480 --> 01:23:17,480
well and was sidelined because of a heavy call. Now back in the regular lineup for the

875
01:23:17,480 --> 01:23:22,480
first time in about five days. A one strike delivery. It has taken away and it's ball

876
01:23:22,480 --> 01:23:34,480
one. One ball one strike. Charlie with five home runs and 20 runs batted in. Mets score

877
01:23:34,480 --> 01:23:38,480
two runs in the third. They take the lead. They hold it at two nothing. Back to Charlie

878
01:23:38,480 --> 01:23:42,480
hit hard. In the hole. It's in the left field of base hit. Coming in is Willie Satchel the

879
01:23:42,480 --> 01:23:47,480
field of ball and Charlie Smith has it going again. He's on his first base. The Mets were

880
01:23:47,480 --> 01:23:58,480
no one away now have Ron Favota coming up. Hit number three off Joe Gibbons. It's all

881
01:23:58,480 --> 01:24:04,480
even at three at base with the Mets in front two nothing. Ron grounded out slowly back

882
01:24:04,480 --> 01:24:11,480
to the pitchers mound his first time up. Batting the 271 with 11 home runs and 28 runs batted

883
01:24:11,480 --> 01:24:16,480
in. And his first pitch is taken outside. Fastball missing just off the plate. One ball

884
01:24:16,480 --> 01:24:29,480
no strikes. Ron playing for the first time in this ball park. He has now seen them all.

885
01:24:29,480 --> 01:24:35,480
One ball no strikes. And the pitch is taken on a swing and fouled away. They count down

886
01:24:35,480 --> 01:24:43,480
one ball and one strike. Mets playing against Chicago and Pittsburgh in this trip. Playing

887
01:24:43,480 --> 01:24:51,480
in these ball parks for the first two times this year. For the first time to be more dramatically

888
01:24:51,480 --> 01:24:58,480
correct. Now the pitch back to Ron hit the right field. Roberto Camini moving to his

889
01:24:58,480 --> 01:25:04,480
left now waiting and he puts it away. One out. Back to first base Charlie Smith and

890
01:25:04,480 --> 01:25:15,480
brings up Jim Hickman. Jim Favota to right field his first time up. Batting at 167.

891
01:25:15,480 --> 01:25:20,480
Jim a three home runs and 11 runs batted in. He picked up eight runs batted in and the

892
01:25:20,480 --> 01:25:26,480
three home runs against the Cubs. In an abbreviated two game series. It was scheduled for four

893
01:25:26,480 --> 01:25:32,480
but the Mets tied one game which will have to be replayed. And another game rained out.

894
01:25:32,480 --> 01:25:39,480
Both the Cubs and the Pirates rained out yesterday. Hickman a right hand batter and Joe Gibbon

895
01:25:39,480 --> 01:25:45,480
with his first pitch. Blowing away at ball one. Fast ball away. Joe Gibbon's fast ball

896
01:25:45,480 --> 01:25:54,480
moves away for right hand batter. He throws a slider and curve. At the end of one the

897
01:25:54,480 --> 01:26:01,480
Dodgers nothing. St. Louis nothing. Colfax against Bob Berkey. Pitch back to Jim on the

898
01:26:01,480 --> 01:26:07,480
inside corner. Breaking pitch one ball one strike. Houston at the top of the first with

899
01:26:07,480 --> 01:26:16,480
no runs. Reds coming up. Not about going for the Astros and Gary O'Rico pitching for

900
01:26:16,480 --> 01:26:24,480
Cincinnati. Philadelphia and Chicago not scheduled. They don't have two days off in a row. One

901
01:26:24,480 --> 01:26:29,480
one pitch. A check on the swing but it's in there for strike two. Pitch in the inside

902
01:26:29,480 --> 01:26:36,480
corner to count down. One ball and two strikes. One man away at the top of the fourth. The

903
01:26:36,480 --> 01:26:45,480
Mets in front two nothing. This game the Percival five. Friday night a single game. Saturday

904
01:26:45,480 --> 01:26:50,480
afternoon a single game and a doubleheader on Sunday coming up. Pitch back to Jim Fowler.

905
01:26:50,480 --> 01:26:56,480
Pitch down low around the knees. One ball two strikes. They can't hold it. Tomorrow night

906
01:26:56,480 --> 01:27:04,480
it's going to be Jack Fisher pitching for the Mets against Bob Prince. Game time will be

907
01:27:04,480 --> 01:27:12,480
at 8.15 New York time. We'll be on the air at 8.10. One ball two strikes. Time to pitch

908
01:27:12,480 --> 01:27:19,480
back to Jim. Swung on and missed strike three. Joe Gibbons picks up another strikeout. That

909
01:27:19,480 --> 01:27:24,480
is his fourth in the ball game. He now has two away in the top of the fourth. The batter

910
01:27:24,480 --> 01:27:31,480
Roy McMillan now stepping in. Roy started the Mets rally in the third when they scored

911
01:27:31,480 --> 01:27:35,480
two runs when he got the first hit of the game for the Mets when he singled the center

912
01:27:35,480 --> 01:27:46,480
field. Roy with that base hit. Getting his average up to 260. He too has been hitting

913
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:54,480
well for the Mets. Right hand batter. And Joe Gibbons with his first pitch. It's outside

914
01:27:54,480 --> 01:28:02,480
ball one. Roy going to a heavier bat and crediting that to the success that he's had of raising

915
01:28:02,480 --> 01:28:09,480
his average from under 200 up to 260. Roy using a bat of about 38 ounces now which is

916
01:28:09,480 --> 01:28:16,480
heavy. Most batters use bats around 30. In the old days they used them all around 40

917
01:28:16,480 --> 01:28:23,480
or over. Now to one open. Swung on and missed. Roy going for a pitch out of the way in the

918
01:28:23,480 --> 01:28:27,480
count now. One ball one strike. Donnie Smith still at third base for the Mets. He singled

919
01:28:27,480 --> 01:28:31,480
the lead off the inning but runs for a ball to fly out the right field and Jim Hickman

920
01:28:31,480 --> 01:28:42,480
struck out. One ball one strike on Roy McMillan. And the left hander now. Look at first and

921
01:28:42,480 --> 01:28:46,480
back to the plate. And the pitch foul off to the right side. The cam moves along the

922
01:28:46,480 --> 01:28:58,480
one and two. Only one game scheduled in the American League. Minnesota won that to increase

923
01:28:58,480 --> 01:29:02,480
the lead to one and a half games. Defending Boston four to three. It's past ball. Picked

924
01:29:02,480 --> 01:29:09,480
up his seventh win. He has not lost one this year. Billy Marmboquette the losing pitcher.

925
01:29:09,480 --> 01:29:14,480
Allison Olmgren in the second with the man on. Now the one two pitch. And down the right

926
01:29:14,480 --> 01:29:19,480
field line. Extra bases on this one. If it bounces off the wall cleanly he'll get second.

927
01:29:19,480 --> 01:29:23,480
Comenny holds him at first base even though he juggles the ball. And going over to third

928
01:29:23,480 --> 01:29:29,480
base is Charlie Smith. Aferto Comenny taking that line shot off the wall playing it perfectly

929
01:29:29,480 --> 01:29:33,480
and that was what stopped Roy McMillan. It was then juggle but Roy had already made up

930
01:29:33,480 --> 01:29:38,480
his mind not to go against the thrown arm right fielder. Roy with his second hit. The

931
01:29:38,480 --> 01:29:43,480
Mets now have runners at first and third with two away. And the batter coming up is Chris

932
01:29:43,480 --> 01:29:49,480
Canazaro. That ball had bounced away. Charlie Smith could have scored with no trouble. He

933
01:29:49,480 --> 01:29:54,480
hit the third base very easily. But Comenny who plays that ball well and who can throw

934
01:29:54,480 --> 01:30:02,480
as well as anything. Waited perfectly although he did juggle the ball. Chris Canazaro the

935
01:30:02,480 --> 01:30:06,480
batter. He was hit by a pitch ball his first time up. And the first pitch to him is low

936
01:30:06,480 --> 01:30:14,480
and inside for ball one. Down the right field line as we mentioned earlier at three hundred

937
01:30:14,480 --> 01:30:19,480
feet that ball hit against the wall on the fly about three hundred and twenty feet away.

938
01:30:19,480 --> 01:30:27,480
Caromed off to Comenny who was about fifty feet away from the wall right into his hand.

939
01:30:27,480 --> 01:30:32,480
Joe Given back to the plate and the pitch taken outside ball two. On deck batter is

940
01:30:32,480 --> 01:30:41,480
Galen Sisco. So Joe Given working carefully to Chris Canazaro. Matsonori Murray Covey

941
01:30:41,480 --> 01:30:53,480
has now relieved Ron Herbal for the time. All this action coming in the third. A two

942
01:30:53,480 --> 01:30:58,480
all pitch to Canazaro. Low for ball three and Joe Given now at three and all with

943
01:30:58,480 --> 01:31:12,480
the batters in first and third. That's the way two runs on four hits. All right now no

944
01:31:12,480 --> 01:31:17,480
runs on three hits. Three balls no strikes. Given sets again and look at first base and

945
01:31:17,480 --> 01:31:23,480
back to Canazaro. The slow and away ball four and that loads him up. Push down to second

946
01:31:23,480 --> 01:31:27,480
base and the walk to Canazaro. The first walk is by Joe Given. It's Raleigh McMillan holding

947
01:31:27,480 --> 01:31:31,480
the third base Johnny Smith in the battered game and Sisco. Eddie Matthews has hit a home

948
01:31:31,480 --> 01:31:36,480
run in the third for the Milwaukee Braves. They lead by at least a score of three to

949
01:31:36,480 --> 01:31:40,480
one and they're still batting. Two pitcher changes. Ron Herbal taking out he relieved

950
01:31:40,480 --> 01:32:01,480
Bob John that inning. Matsonori Murray Covey also in the ball game for the Jack.

951
01:32:01,480 --> 01:32:11,480
Bobby Sisco right hander has appeared in 13 previous ball games. He has won three and

952
01:32:11,480 --> 01:32:19,480
lost none in that time. That's the total of 18 and two thirds innings and he'll be working

953
01:32:19,480 --> 01:32:33,480
to Bobby Clouse. Bobby is 0 for 2. And the first pitch to Clouse is a curve ball low

954
01:32:33,480 --> 01:32:39,480
ball one. Bases are loaded for the Mets. Roy McMillan at third base. Chris Canazaro is

955
01:32:39,480 --> 01:32:50,480
at second base. Then game and Sisco at first. Mets leading by a score of three to nothing.

956
01:32:50,480 --> 01:33:01,480
And the fifth back to the plate is ball two. Two balls, no strikes. Joe Given credited

957
01:33:01,480 --> 01:33:09,480
with three and two thirds innings worth giving up three runs so far on five hits. In that

958
01:33:09,480 --> 01:33:15,480
time he struck out four and lost one. That's going two runs on two hits in the third off

959
01:33:15,480 --> 01:33:23,480
given. Have one run on three hits here in the fourth. Now the pitch back to Clouse.

960
01:33:23,480 --> 01:33:27,480
It's in there for a called strike. So the count goes to two balls and one strike. The

961
01:33:27,480 --> 01:33:31,480
Milwaukee Braves scored nine runs in the bottom half of the third against the San Francisco

962
01:33:31,480 --> 01:33:37,480
Giants. They lead by a score of ten to one. One home run. Eddie Matthews in the third

963
01:33:37,480 --> 01:33:43,480
with one on. Now the two one delivery. It's ball for ball three. And the count at three

964
01:33:43,480 --> 01:33:55,480
and one with Bobby Clouse batting. Bases loaded so Donnie Sisco has nowhere to put him. Bobby

965
01:33:55,480 --> 01:33:59,480
Clouse checking with Don Hefner as to whether or not he'll be hitting or taking the three

966
01:33:59,480 --> 01:34:06,480
and one. Now Sisco right hander into the windup. His pitch to the plate is taken in there for

967
01:34:06,480 --> 01:34:11,480
a called strike two. So a full count now at three and two with two men away. And the runners

968
01:34:11,480 --> 01:34:25,480
will be going. There's a big pitch in the ball game. Three balls two strikes. Two men

969
01:34:25,480 --> 01:34:29,480
out. Top of the fourth. Eddie Matthews runs three nothing. They have the bases loaded.

970
01:34:29,480 --> 01:34:33,480
Now the pitcher going into the stretch position so the runners can't start too soon. The pitch

971
01:34:33,480 --> 01:34:38,480
back to the plate. Low at four four and another run comes in. Forth game from third base.

972
01:34:38,480 --> 01:34:43,480
Roy McMullen. Chris Cannaville moving over to third base. Gavis Sisco down to second

973
01:34:43,480 --> 01:34:48,480
and on at first base with a run batted in. Here's Bobby Clouse. He took a close pitch.

974
01:34:48,480 --> 01:34:53,480
It was coached at the time slightly by Kim Pallieroni. But the Mets now lead by a score

975
01:34:53,480 --> 01:35:02,480
of four to nothing on the one. That run charged against Joe Gibbons. Don Swalwell now throwing

976
01:35:02,480 --> 01:35:06,480
in the bullpen for the fires. And the batter coming up for the Mets is Eddie Cranesville.

977
01:35:06,480 --> 01:35:18,480
And he looks low at ball one. And now out to take a look and to talk with Tommy Sisk.

978
01:35:18,480 --> 01:35:28,480
15 coach five king. Former Brooklyn Dodgers. And while he's out there talking we'll pause

979
01:35:28,480 --> 01:35:34,480
for station identification. This is the New York Mets baseball network. A ten of a dial

980
01:35:34,480 --> 01:35:46,480
WGY is connected. Ralph Kynel on with Lindsey Nelson and Bob Murphy from Forbes Field. And

981
01:35:46,480 --> 01:36:00,480
now the pitch back to the plate is all the way again ball two. Two balls no strikes.

982
01:36:00,480 --> 01:36:05,480
Two and oh on Eddie Cranesville. Ed Robyn a run on the third with a sacrifice fly to centerfield.

983
01:36:05,480 --> 01:36:09,480
He's home for one of the games. And his next pitch is looked at for a called strike. It's

984
01:36:09,480 --> 01:36:21,480
got around the knees. McAd now at two and one. Cranesville batting at three thirty eight.

985
01:36:21,480 --> 01:36:25,480
Now into the set position in the windup now and there comes a pitch. It's hit into left

986
01:36:25,480 --> 01:36:30,480
center field. Cook left in a long run for Bill Burton. He can't get to it. A run scored.

987
01:36:30,480 --> 01:36:34,480
Kendall-Jerro is going for third. Galen Siskill trying from second base. He scores and going

988
01:36:34,480 --> 01:36:39,480
into second base with a double as Eddie Cranesville. And Bobby Foulkes moves to third. Go away.

989
01:36:39,480 --> 01:36:44,480
Take two outs. Two balls. Two strikes. Double by Eddie Cranesville driving in two more runs.

990
01:36:44,480 --> 01:36:52,480
And the Mets play five score six to nothing. Ball was a slicing looping line drive in the

991
01:36:52,480 --> 01:36:56,480
left center field. Bill Burton tried for it. He couldn't quite get to it. Ball dropping

992
01:36:56,480 --> 01:37:00,480
in and Cranesville had to slide in a second as a throw came in. But he beat the throw

993
01:37:00,480 --> 01:37:15,480
and the Mets have the lead by a score of six to nothing. The batter coming up is Joe Christopher.

994
01:37:15,480 --> 01:37:22,480
Joe is 0 for 2 in the game. And he takes the first pitch. It's low for ball one. Dug out

995
01:37:22,480 --> 01:37:29,480
by Pallieroni. One ball and no strikes. Cranesville now with three runs batted in the ball game.

996
01:37:29,480 --> 01:37:37,480
Leeds the club and runs batted in with 29. One more than Ron Sopota. And Joe Christopher

997
01:37:37,480 --> 01:37:43,480
at one and all. He's the ninth man to bat in this inning. And the next pitch is in there

998
01:37:43,480 --> 01:37:59,480
for a strike. One ball, one strike. All six runs in this game go against Joe Givens' record.

999
01:37:59,480 --> 01:38:05,480
One ball, one strike. And the right hander back again and a drive to left. Going back

1000
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:09,480
to left fielder. He can't get to it. It's over his head. Off of the wall. Going from

1001
01:38:09,480 --> 01:38:13,480
second base is Bobby Klaus. And from second base is Eddie Greenpool. The Mets now lead

1002
01:38:13,480 --> 01:38:20,480
on a long single. That throw was played off the wall in the second base by a score of eight

1003
01:38:20,480 --> 01:38:25,480
to nothing. And Joe Christopher with a 370 foot single off the wall and left. A line shot

1004
01:38:25,480 --> 01:38:32,480
over Willie Chargel that Chargel played it off the wall perfectly and fired it on in.

1005
01:38:32,480 --> 01:38:36,480
So the Mets have batted around. And batting now for the second time, Johnny Smith is single

1006
01:38:36,480 --> 01:38:43,480
to start the inning. And Joe Christopher has now extended his consecutive game streak to

1007
01:38:43,480 --> 01:38:52,480
10. These two runs in on Joe's single going against the record of Tommy Siss. And the

1008
01:38:52,480 --> 01:39:07,480
first pitch to Johnny Smith is inside ball one. Eight to nothing ball game is the Mets

1009
01:39:07,480 --> 01:39:11,480
lead in the top of the fourth. And the pitch back to Johnny is put on a miss. The count

1010
01:39:11,480 --> 01:39:29,480
evens at one and one. Now the right hander looks at first, comes back again to Smith

1011
01:39:29,480 --> 01:39:34,480
and a line drive to center of base hit. Joe Christopher going to second base. Ball bobbles

1012
01:39:34,480 --> 01:39:39,480
but picked up quickly by Bill Burton and Christopher holds it second. And Johnny Smith has had

1013
01:39:39,480 --> 01:39:43,480
two hits in this inning. Two for two for Johnny Smith. Mets getting their sixth base hit and

1014
01:39:43,480 --> 01:39:55,480
now out to the mound is Harry Walker and that will be all for Johnny Smith. Tommy came into

1015
01:39:55,480 --> 01:40:02,480
the ball game to pitch to Bobby Krause with two men away. He pitched to four batters, gave

1016
01:40:02,480 --> 01:40:13,480
up a walk, a double and two singles in that time. Two runs tied against his record. And

1017
01:40:13,480 --> 01:40:20,480
Don Swal who was warming up the ball pen is coming into the ball game. Now throwing down

1018
01:40:20,480 --> 01:40:26,480
into the ball pen is Wilbur Wood, a left hander. So Don Swal is coming in the ball game. The

1019
01:40:26,480 --> 01:40:33,480
third picker used in this inning, Joe Gibbon with Johnny pitches. Joe pitched first to Johnny

1020
01:40:33,480 --> 01:40:38,480
Smith, gave up a single then got two outs. Runner left at first base but then the Mets

1021
01:40:38,480 --> 01:40:44,480
exploded for a single, a walk, a single and that was all for Joe Gibbon. Don Smith came

1022
01:40:44,480 --> 01:40:50,480
in, he gave up a walk, a double and two singles. The Mets lead by a score of eight to nothing.

1023
01:40:50,480 --> 01:40:54,480
They have runners at first and second, still two men away and the batter is Ron Favota.

1024
01:40:54,480 --> 01:40:59,480
Officially Tommy says he did not pitch or get credit for any inning to work although

1025
01:40:59,480 --> 01:41:04,480
against his record two runs and two hits in the walk. And again here's Lindsey Nelson

1026
01:41:04,480 --> 01:41:08,480
to bring us up the date of the score. Alright Ralph in the National League it's all night

1027
01:41:08,480 --> 01:41:12,480
action and at the end of three innings it's the Milwaukee Braves 10 and the San Francisco

1028
01:41:12,480 --> 01:41:17,480
Giants 1. Bob Shaw starts with the Giants, Ron Hervel in the third and Masanori Muratami

1029
01:41:17,480 --> 01:41:22,480
in the third. When the Braves got nine runs including a two run home run by Eddie Matthews,

1030
01:41:22,480 --> 01:41:26,480
Ben Johnson pitching for the Milwaukee Braves. At the end of an inning and a half the Los

1031
01:41:26,480 --> 01:41:31,480
Angeles Dodgers three and the San Luis Cardinals nothing. Sandy Colfax going against Bob Perky.

1032
01:41:31,480 --> 01:41:36,480
At the end of an inning and a half the Houston Astros three and the Cincinnati Reds nothing.

1033
01:41:36,480 --> 01:41:41,480
Don Nott of Wright going against Jerry Arrigo, Rusty Shaw at a three run homer in the second

1034
01:41:41,480 --> 01:41:45,480
inning. Philadelphia and Chicago are not scheduled in the National League. The American League

1035
01:41:45,480 --> 01:41:49,480
only one game scheduled today and that was an afternoon contest in which the league leading

1036
01:41:49,480 --> 01:41:54,480
the Minnesota Twins defeated the Boston Red Sox 4-3. Camilo Pascual the winner with help

1037
01:41:54,480 --> 01:41:58,480
from twice in the eighth, fifth down in the eighth and Nelson in the ninth. But Pascual

1038
01:41:58,480 --> 01:42:03,480
and Alex won seven games and lost none. Billy Mombroo gets started and hits the loss for

1039
01:42:03,480 --> 01:42:08,480
Boston with early relieving in the seventh inning. Bob Allison at a two run homer for

1040
01:42:08,480 --> 01:42:13,480
Minnesota in the second inning. And right here the New York Mets are leading the Pittsburgh

1041
01:42:13,480 --> 01:42:19,480
Pirates by a score of eight to nothing. And we are in the top half of the fourth inning.

1042
01:42:19,480 --> 01:42:23,480
First game of a five game set. The Pittsburgh Pirates having won 12 games in a row and with

1043
01:42:23,480 --> 01:42:28,480
Ryan Svoboda coming up coming back in here around town. Okay Lindsey, John Svoboda the

1044
01:42:28,480 --> 01:42:33,480
pitch against Ron Svoboda. He has appeared in eight previous ballgames, worked 17 innings.

1045
01:42:33,480 --> 01:42:41,480
He has an earned run average of 4.76 per nine innings. And he has a record of two and two.

1046
01:42:41,480 --> 01:42:45,480
John a right hander and Ron Svoboda right hand batter. Rod in his innings right out

1047
01:42:45,480 --> 01:42:52,480
the right field. He is 0 for 2 in the game. Runners at first and second two away and the

1048
01:42:52,480 --> 01:42:58,480
pitch to Svoboda is high and it's ball one. One ball no strikes. Ron the eleventh man

1049
01:42:58,480 --> 01:43:10,480
to bat here is the Mets have scored a total of six runs on six hits. One ball no strikes.

1050
01:43:10,480 --> 01:43:14,480
And Svoboda back to the plate. The pitch taken at the knees on the inside corner. One ball

1051
01:43:14,480 --> 01:43:21,480
and one strike. Mets have not won a ballgame from the Pirates this year. The Pirates swept

1052
01:43:21,480 --> 01:43:33,480
the series in New York when they played winning four. Now Svoboda in the set position has

1053
01:43:33,480 --> 01:43:38,480
won one delivery. He has flung on and fouled off. That makes it a one two count on Ron

1054
01:43:38,480 --> 01:43:44,480
Svoboda. Ron has his man's right here. One of his many now. Up in the tap deck the third

1055
01:43:44,480 --> 01:43:51,480
deck here in Forbes field. A batter which says O.A.I. loves Ron Svoboda. Now this could

1056
01:43:51,480 --> 01:43:59,480
be Ron's country around here. One ball two strikes. John Swal working and the pitch back

1057
01:43:59,480 --> 01:44:03,480
to the plate is flung on and fouled off the end of the bat. Another count of six one and

1058
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:07,480
two. Swal going to his side on pitch and Ron getting just a piece of the end of the bat

1059
01:44:07,480 --> 01:44:17,480
on the ball. Mets leading by a score of eight and up against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Not

1060
01:44:17,480 --> 01:44:23,480
time called as the ball gets away in the bullpen down the right field line. Ron Lockett losing

1061
01:44:23,480 --> 01:44:32,480
up in the bullpen for the Mets. It's been a long inning. And the pitch back to the plate.

1062
01:44:32,480 --> 01:44:53,480
A second of swing in time. A good look at it by down in the count now two and two. Two

1063
01:44:53,480 --> 01:45:03,480
balls two strikes. And Swal back to the plate. A swing and a miss strike three and that ends

1064
01:45:03,480 --> 01:45:08,480
the inning. Up to the inning the Mets add to their lead. They've scored six runs on six

1065
01:45:08,480 --> 01:45:13,480
hits there with two walks. Two men left on base. And the score at the end of three and

1066
01:45:13,480 --> 01:45:18,480
a half innings the Mets eighth to Pittsburgh Pirates nothing. Bottom half of the fourth

1067
01:45:18,480 --> 01:45:23,480
inning the Mets leading by a score of eight to nothing. Going six runs from the top of

1068
01:45:23,480 --> 01:45:28,480
the fourth. Their biggest inning of the year five times now they have scored six runs and

1069
01:45:28,480 --> 01:45:33,480
won anything. On the mat for the Mets with the big lead is Gannon Zisco. Gannon looking

1070
01:45:33,480 --> 01:45:38,480
for his first win. He's contributed to the Mets cause with two singles and two runs batted

1071
01:45:38,480 --> 01:45:43,480
in. Gannon also has held the Pirates to no runs and three hits. He has struck out four

1072
01:45:43,480 --> 01:45:46,480
and walked three and he'll be pitching to Andre Rogers who had a single his first time up

1073
01:45:46,480 --> 01:45:52,480
in a high curve. Rogers a right hand batter and the first pitch is hit off the hands looped

1074
01:45:52,480 --> 01:45:56,480
toward right field going back Bobby Clough. He can't get to it. It drops in back of him

1075
01:45:56,480 --> 01:46:06,480
and the Pirates have a runner first base with no one out and their fourth hit. Rogers batting

1076
01:46:06,480 --> 01:46:11,480
at three fifty two before the base hit. So he's headed on a couple more points. The batter

1077
01:46:11,480 --> 01:46:16,480
is Jim Valerone who struck out looking at a curve his first time up. Jim batting two

1078
01:46:16,480 --> 01:46:30,480
thirty. And the first pitch to the catcher is a called strike strike one. Jose Fagan

1079
01:46:30,480 --> 01:46:35,480
is in the on deck circle. The pitcher is due up next to Jose who was acquired from San

1080
01:46:35,480 --> 01:46:44,480
Francisco for Scofield. He'll be batting for the first time against the Mets in a Pirate

1081
01:46:44,480 --> 01:46:50,480
uniform. A change up and it's fouled down the dirt. Now moving to oh and two on the catcher

1082
01:46:50,480 --> 01:46:57,480
Valerone. Ball bounced up and got the home plate umpire and for a while there Candice

1083
01:46:57,480 --> 01:47:02,480
Airol didn't know about. Now he's getting some assistance as Chris holds on to him as

1084
01:47:02,480 --> 01:47:06,480
he's doubled over. Coming down from first base Al Bollock and also Danny Whelan the

1085
01:47:06,480 --> 01:47:13,480
trainer of the Pirates coming out. Ball bounced down the dirt and bounced up. And now Mel

1086
01:47:13,480 --> 01:47:20,480
Steiner doubled over in apparent pain. Dan Landis walking in along with Augie Donatelli

1087
01:47:20,480 --> 01:47:28,480
as they all had their sympathy. Say why don't you come to the Rango Talent Quest every Friday

1088
01:47:28,480 --> 01:47:33,480
at 8 p.m. at the World's Fair. Amateur vocal and instrumental groups will compete for prizes

1089
01:47:33,480 --> 01:47:39,480
in the singer ball. Mission is free so you can go to the show and enjoy yourself. Maybe

1090
01:47:39,480 --> 01:47:48,480
see some new young talent discovered. No time call but Mel Steiner waving off everyone and

1091
01:47:48,480 --> 01:47:54,480
he's okay. It's a man here. Probably a good sized crowd in Phelpsville but not nightly

1092
01:47:54,480 --> 01:47:59,480
good all day. Barrett came into the ninth game with a 12 game winning streak and the

1093
01:47:59,480 --> 01:48:11,480
box office has picked up. John scored two runs to the top of the fourth to cut Milwaukee's

1094
01:48:11,480 --> 01:48:17,480
lead now to 10 to 3. Milwaukee scored nine runs in the bottom half of the third. Two

1095
01:48:17,480 --> 01:48:22,480
strike count on Jim Pallieroni. Time is in. A runner at first base. A curve ball hit foul.

1096
01:48:22,480 --> 01:48:26,480
Cisco coming in with a change curve ball. The ball pulled down the left field line and

1097
01:48:26,480 --> 01:48:42,480
bounced against the stands and went out in the left field and picked up by Ron Svoboda.

1098
01:48:42,480 --> 01:48:52,480
Jim and Cisco making their fourth strike for the Mets. Enjoying at this point an eight

1099
01:48:52,480 --> 01:48:56,480
game eight run lead. And the right hander now back to the play and the pitch foul off

1100
01:48:56,480 --> 01:49:14,480
the play. Straight back at home plate and count stays at O and 2. Barrett had a record

1101
01:49:14,480 --> 01:49:20,480
of nine and 24 before they started a 12 game winning streak. They are now 21 and 24. Again

1102
01:49:20,480 --> 01:49:24,480
a change up. It's in the dirt dug out by Cannazero. Fake throw to first base and Rogers back to

1103
01:49:24,480 --> 01:49:36,480
the back. Mets have a record of 18 wins and 29 losses. There are only two wins. Back to

1104
01:49:36,480 --> 01:49:45,480
the Philadelphia Phillies and the Chicago Cubs. One ball two strikes. Cisco now sets

1105
01:49:45,480 --> 01:49:49,480
again. His pitch curve ball bounced slowly towards short. Coming over Roy McMillan. He's

1106
01:49:49,480 --> 01:49:54,480
up with it. He throws to Bobby Clouse covering at second base for the fourth there. And exchanging

1107
01:49:54,480 --> 01:50:15,480
at first base is Jim Valeroni on the out. That'll bring up Jose Fagan. Jose fighting

1108
01:50:15,480 --> 01:50:19,480
for John Schwalb out in a 2-0-5. We'll see another pitch in the ball game. It'll be left

1109
01:50:19,480 --> 01:50:23,480
hander Wilbur Woods. Fourth pitcher to be used by the Pirates. He'll come in at the top of

1110
01:50:23,480 --> 01:50:37,480
the fifth. They got a right hand batter. Off runner at first base. And a hard swing at

1111
01:50:37,480 --> 01:50:46,480
the first pitch. Strike one. Mets leading 8-0. Mets have a modest two game winning streak

1112
01:50:46,480 --> 01:51:06,480
going for them. One strike count on Fagan. And the next delivery a curve ball. Swing and

1113
01:51:06,480 --> 01:51:12,480
a miss. Strike two. Fagan pulled completely on a big rolling curve. It was sort of a surprise

1114
01:51:12,480 --> 01:51:16,480
when the Giants traded Fagan off because there was never an indication in any previous years

1115
01:51:16,480 --> 01:51:26,480
that they were thinking about another shortstop. Taking up Schofield from Pittsburgh was not

1116
01:51:26,480 --> 01:51:31,480
too much of a surprise because Schofield was never really considered a strong contender

1117
01:51:31,480 --> 01:51:39,480
for the shortstop position. They liked him but he had not measured up. Now the pitch

1118
01:51:39,480 --> 01:51:43,480
back to the plate. One ball, two strikes. Pitch low and away. And a good play by Ken

1119
01:51:43,480 --> 01:51:48,480
O'Zerro to get out in front and keep the ball from going by. Schofield was scheduled to

1120
01:51:48,480 --> 01:51:53,480
take over and be the regular shortstop when Dick Grode was traded away. And of course

1121
01:51:53,480 --> 01:51:58,480
they must have felt very highly about Schofield when they got rid of Grode. He never did quite

1122
01:51:58,480 --> 01:52:07,480
measure up although with the Giants now he's going like a house of fire. One, two pitch

1123
01:52:07,480 --> 01:52:19,480
just outside. A slider missing off the outside corner to count it two and two. The Pirates

1124
01:52:19,480 --> 01:52:25,480
have been using three shortstops and dispersing their men getting good results. Andre Rogers

1125
01:52:25,480 --> 01:52:30,480
has been the top man because his bat has been red hot. Their number one fielding shortstop

1126
01:52:30,480 --> 01:52:38,480
is Gene Alley. He's batting at 260. Now a ground ball hit hard to short. Taken on a

1127
01:52:38,480 --> 01:52:43,480
short hop by Roy McMillan. The throw to second base for the fourth play is in time on the

1128
01:52:43,480 --> 01:52:48,480
first base for a double play. And the Mets with their 48 double play to retire the side.

1129
01:52:48,480 --> 01:52:55,480
6-4-3. No runs, one hit, no errors and no one left on. And the score at the end of four,

1130
01:52:55,480 --> 01:53:05,480
the Mets eight, the Pittsburgh Pirates nothing. And now once again Lindsay Nelson.

1131
01:53:05,480 --> 01:53:09,480
All right Ralph, you know during the brief history of the Mets there have been many fabulous

1132
01:53:09,480 --> 01:53:14,480
moments for Mets fans and now they can relive them right in their own home just by getting

1137
01:53:39,480 --> 01:53:46,480
you'd like to get a copy of the Let's Go Mets record album just send three dollars to Mets

1138
01:53:46,480 --> 01:54:03,480
album J Stadium Flushing, New York. Wilbur Wood is the pitcher in the ball game now for

1139
01:54:03,480 --> 01:54:22,480
the Pittsburgh Pirates. He's a left-hander and he is the fourth Pirate pitcher of this

1140
01:54:22,480 --> 01:54:29,480
ball game. Joe Gibbons started is the pitcher of record. Gibbons hits three and two thirds,

1141
01:54:29,480 --> 01:54:35,480
gave up six runs on five hits. This came in, faced four batters, was charged with two runs

1142
01:54:35,480 --> 01:54:41,480
and allowing three hits. Don Schwalp pitched a third of an inning, he retired one man and

1143
01:54:41,480 --> 01:55:04,480
was removed from the pinch hitter and now it's left-hander Wilbur Wood. And Jim Hickman

1144
01:55:04,480 --> 01:55:11,480
steps in now to lead off of the Mets. Jim has flied to right and struck out swinging

1145
01:55:11,480 --> 01:55:17,480
so far in this ball game. Wood looks for his side and Jim Pagliarone and here's the pitch.

1146
01:55:17,480 --> 01:55:22,480
Fung on, hit on the ground to third base, second deep by Bob Bailey, a long throw but

1147
01:55:22,480 --> 01:55:27,480
a clean done and in time and Hickman is out. One away here in the top half of the fifth

1148
01:55:27,480 --> 01:55:36,480
inning and Roy McMullin is the batter. Roy is two for two tonight. Wilbur Wood is making

1149
01:55:36,480 --> 01:55:45,480
his eleventh game appearance. He has no one or loss record. He has pitched a total of

1150
01:55:45,480 --> 01:55:53,480
seventeen innings in which he's allowed four runs, three of them earned. And the pitch

1151
01:55:53,480 --> 01:56:01,480
to Matt is in there for a cause strike. Wilbur Wood has an earned run average of 1.58. He

1152
01:56:01,480 --> 01:56:10,480
has struck out eighth, he has walked eleventh. One away, nobody on base. The Mets are leading

1153
01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:24,480
their score of eighth to nothing. Left-hander Wood pitches low for a ball. One and one, the

1154
01:56:24,480 --> 01:56:34,480
count's a nine. Wood with a one-one delivery and admits he's outside for a ball. He goes

1155
01:56:34,480 --> 01:56:42,480
behind two and one. St. Louis Cardinals have scored five runs off Sandy Kofax in the bottom

1156
01:56:42,480 --> 01:56:47,480
half of the second inning. So at the end of two it is the Dodgers three and the Cardinals

1157
01:56:47,480 --> 01:56:55,480
five. Here's a swing and a fly ball to right field. Going back is Clemente. He has it lined

1158
01:56:55,480 --> 01:57:00,480
up. He's there and he makes the catch. Ball is well hit by McMullin to right. Clemente

1159
01:57:00,480 --> 01:57:05,480
gets a good jump out there. Two away, nobody on base and Chris Cannadaro is coming up.

1160
01:57:05,480 --> 01:57:16,480
He's been hit by a pitch ball and walks. Right-hand batter. Tug McGraw is throwing in the Matt

1161
01:57:16,480 --> 01:57:25,480
bullpen. Left-hander number 45, Tug McGraw. Suddenly Larry Miller has reported he's going

1162
01:57:25,480 --> 01:57:35,480
to side number 35. Here's a pitch. It's in there for a called strike. We're in the top

1163
01:57:35,480 --> 01:57:40,480
half of the fifth inning of the first game of a five-game series here at Forbes Field

1164
01:57:40,480 --> 01:57:54,480
in Pittsburgh. The pitch to Cannadaro, breaking ball low. It's in the dirt. One and one. Forbes

1165
01:57:54,480 --> 01:58:00,480
Field is equipped with the only automatic field cover in the National League. It extends

1166
01:58:00,480 --> 01:58:05,480
from home plate up the third base line out to short left field. Here's a swing and a

1167
01:58:05,480 --> 01:58:12,480
foul ball back up first. A check swing and line just foul back up first base. The Milwaukee

1168
01:58:12,480 --> 01:58:17,480
Braves were the first in the National League to install an automatic field cover, but it

1169
01:58:17,480 --> 01:58:22,480
never did really work out there and they finally just dug it up and covered the trench over

1170
01:58:22,480 --> 01:58:26,480
and filled it in. So there's just no sign of it left at County Stadium, but the one

1171
01:58:26,480 --> 01:58:34,480
here at Forbes Field does work. Here's a breaking ball that goes high. And so there is no other

1172
01:58:34,480 --> 01:58:40,480
field covering here. For a year or two they used to keep the tarp rolled up around handy

1173
01:58:40,480 --> 01:58:44,480
just in case, but the automatic field cover works so well they dispensed with that. Two-two

1174
01:58:44,480 --> 01:58:48,480
pitch. Breaking ball swung on. In the air a high fly ball to the right. Clemente dribbles

1175
01:58:48,480 --> 01:58:53,480
back. He's underneath and waiting and Roberto makes the catch. So Wood gets the side in

1176
01:58:53,480 --> 01:58:58,480
order here at the top of the fifth. Wood no runs, no hits, no runs, no left. Scores the

1177
01:58:58,480 --> 01:59:07,480
end of four and a half innings. Here's the mess eight and the Pirates nothing. Here at

1178
01:59:07,480 --> 01:59:12,480
Forbes Field the Pittsburgh Pirates will be coming up and Bob Bailey will be up to lead

1179
01:59:12,480 --> 01:59:19,480
off in the bottom half of the fifth. We're keeping you posted on the progress of American

1180
01:59:19,480 --> 01:59:25,480
astronauts White and Mcdivitt. And they are now one hour into their seventh orbit. They

1181
01:59:25,480 --> 01:59:33,480
have 55 more of it to go. And White who has been asleep his past hour is about to relieve

1182
01:59:33,480 --> 01:59:38,480
Mcdivitt as the pilot so that Mcdivitt can get some sleep now. And in something like

1183
01:59:38,480 --> 01:59:47,480
20 minutes they'll pass the 10 hour mark of this particular project. Right here the Mets

1184
01:59:47,480 --> 01:59:53,480
are leading. The Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of eight to nothing. Galen Sisco on the mound

1185
01:59:53,480 --> 02:00:02,480
for the Mets. Bailey is one for two. He's a right hand batter. Sisco deals a pitch that

1186
02:00:02,480 --> 02:00:12,480
goes high up of all one. Pirates were scheduled to have played the Philadelphia Phillies here

1187
02:00:12,480 --> 02:00:16,480
last night and they were rained out. Mets were scheduled to have played the Cubs in Chicago

1188
02:00:16,480 --> 02:00:22,480
yesterday and they were rained out. The pitch went on and hit on the ground foul back at

1189
02:00:22,480 --> 02:00:29,480
third on down and to left field west of Obota now. It was, it was, it was actually off the

1190
02:00:29,480 --> 02:00:37,480
foot of Mark's Policemen down there and Fulvoda has retrieved it. One and one to count to

1191
02:00:37,480 --> 02:00:42,480
lead off man Bob Bailey of the Pirates who was signed originally for a bonus estimated

1192
02:00:42,480 --> 02:01:02,480
at $175,000. Here's the pitch low. Two and one. Bill Burton is waiting on deck. Dodgers

1193
02:01:02,480 --> 02:01:07,480
did not score in the top of the third so at the end of two and a half it's Cardinals five

1194
02:01:07,480 --> 02:01:12,480
and the Dodgers three. Here's a swing and a drive foul down across the Mets both then

1195
02:01:12,480 --> 02:01:20,480
out of play in the left field corner. Two and two. Well when the Dodgers picked up three

1196
02:01:20,480 --> 02:01:25,480
runs for Sandy Kopacz you might have thought he'd be in pretty good shape but the Cardinals

1197
02:01:25,480 --> 02:01:35,480
came back to get five off Kopacz and take the lead. Sisco looks in to get a side. Chris

1198
02:01:35,480 --> 02:01:40,480
is going to counter zero and the two-two delivery swung on. Hit deep to center and right there

1199
02:01:40,480 --> 02:01:45,480
Jim Hickman and he makes the catch. There's a lot of room in center field and Forbes field.

1200
02:01:45,480 --> 02:01:51,480
One away and I bring up Bill Burton who has rolled those acres out there for a number

1201
02:01:51,480 --> 02:01:56,480
of years so very well. He's nothing but two tonight. He has grounded out second. The person

1202
02:01:56,480 --> 02:02:05,480
struck out swinging. Burton started out in the Yankee system, went to the Cardinals and

1203
02:02:05,480 --> 02:02:11,480
the deal is brought in a slaughter through the Yankees. Here's a swing and a ground ball

1204
02:02:11,480 --> 02:02:15,480
to first. It is a fair ball taken by Cranesville behind the bag. He jogs over to make the play

1205
02:02:15,480 --> 02:02:21,480
unassisted. Two away and Roberto Clemente is coming up now. He has walked and guarded

1206
02:02:21,480 --> 02:02:31,480
out. Clemente was married last November. Batting champion of the National League. He is twice

1207
02:02:31,480 --> 02:02:47,480
all that out. Galen Sisco with the pitch to the right hand batter. It's bunned up into

1208
02:02:47,480 --> 02:02:54,480
the air foul over right hand to the med dugout. He was studying at Charlie Smith playing

1209
02:02:54,480 --> 02:03:07,480
a deep third base and he was trying to bun his way out. Strike one to Clemente. Cardinals

1210
02:03:07,480 --> 02:03:13,480
have picked up another run off Sandy Copac. Here's the pitch and it's just for a call

1211
02:03:13,480 --> 02:03:25,480
strike. Ken Boyer of the Cardinals has homeward off Copac to make it 6-3. Two strike deliveries

1212
02:03:25,480 --> 02:03:34,480
one run and foul back. Upstairs and out of play. Got hold of two strikes. Come up to

1213
02:03:34,480 --> 02:03:43,480
cool for the most refreshing coolness you can get in any cigarette. Smoke cool filter

1214
02:03:43,480 --> 02:03:56,480
king. Here's the swing and the ground ball up to first base line. Canadero recovers.

1215
02:03:56,480 --> 02:04:04,480
Fires out in time. A little number and Chris got out there and heard a pass run and threw

1216
02:04:04,480 --> 02:04:07,480
out the speedy Roberto Clemente. The side's out in order. No runs, no hits, no is not

1217
02:04:07,480 --> 02:04:14,480
left to score. At the end of five is the Mets eighth and the Pirates nothing. Well, Roy

1218
02:04:14,480 --> 02:04:18,480
McMillan's had a couple of base hits in this game. He has been going great in his usual.

1219
02:04:18,480 --> 02:04:22,480
He turns in a spark through two. He should tell you that the Mets play and you can find

1220
02:04:22,480 --> 02:04:28,480
out all about Roy McMillan and all the other Mets in the brand new revised 1965 Mets yearbook.

1221
02:04:28,480 --> 02:04:33,480
It has all the up to date facts and figures on the Mets plus 258 action photographs. As

1222
02:04:33,480 --> 02:04:38,480
you know, from time to time player personnel changes during the course of the season and

1223
02:04:38,480 --> 02:04:44,480
for that particular reason, the yearbook is updated from time to time with revised editions

1224
02:04:44,480 --> 02:04:49,480
and the first revised edition is now available with information on new Mets such as Chuck

1225
02:04:49,480 --> 02:04:54,480
Miller who came to the Mets from the San Francisco Giants. There's a special section on Yogi

1226
02:04:54,480 --> 02:05:00,480
Burrow and one on Warren Spahn, plenty of pictures of them. So to get the new 1965 Mets yearbook

1227
02:05:00,480 --> 02:05:05,480
send 50 cents to Mets yearbook Shea Stadium Flushing, New York. Repeating the address

1228
02:05:05,480 --> 02:05:11,480
Mets yearbook Shea Stadium Flushing, New York. We'd like to call your attention too to an

1229
02:05:11,480 --> 02:05:16,480
event coming up at Shea Stadium Friday, July 9th will be date night at Shea Stadium when

1230
02:05:16,480 --> 02:05:21,480
the Mets meet the Houston Astros. There'll be Dixieland bands and other entertainments.

1231
02:05:21,480 --> 02:05:25,480
A Y board date accompanied by a mail escort will be admitted to the general admission area

1232
02:05:25,480 --> 02:05:30,480
for 50 cents. Right now we've got a station identification. This is the New York Mets

1233
02:05:30,480 --> 02:05:48,480
may phone at work. A gentleman WGY is connected. This is Lindsay Nelson with Bob Murphy and

1234
02:05:48,480 --> 02:05:53,480
Ralph Keiner at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh and Gail and Cisco is up for the Mets. It

1235
02:05:53,480 --> 02:05:58,480
is low inside the ball when Cisco has had two big hits in this game. The Mets is driving

1236
02:05:58,480 --> 02:06:08,480
the run each time and it keeps the rally alive. Wilbur Woods the fourth pirate pitcher of the

1237
02:06:08,480 --> 02:06:16,480
evening is on the mound. That pitcher is in for a call striking its one and one to Cisco.

1238
02:06:16,480 --> 02:06:28,480
We're in the top half of the sixth inning. And the one one delivery. Slow breaking ball

1239
02:06:28,480 --> 02:06:34,480
low and it's two and one. The same umpiring crew is working this game that worked the

1240
02:06:34,480 --> 02:06:42,480
Mets series in Chicago. Umpires came on over last night. Here's a two one delivery and

1241
02:06:42,480 --> 02:06:46,480
the Mets are on a high hopper towards second. Mazurowski charges gets rid of it in a hurry

1242
02:06:46,480 --> 02:06:54,480
in time and Cisco grounds five second to first. That'll bring up Bobby Klout. Bobby is nothing

1243
02:06:54,480 --> 02:07:00,480
for two but he hung in there to draw a walk. Where's the bases loaded and the top of the

1244
02:07:00,480 --> 02:07:24,480
second inning. And of course gotta run better than. Here's the pitch to Klout and it's low

1245
02:07:24,480 --> 02:07:33,480
and it's a one and one. Klout's back at second base tonight for the Mets with Charlie Smith

1246
02:07:33,480 --> 02:07:40,480
back in the lineup at third. There's a one oh pitch and it's in there for a call strike.

1247
02:07:40,480 --> 02:07:52,480
One and one. Ed Craneville waiting around on deck. Wilbur Woods with a one one delivery

1248
02:07:52,480 --> 02:08:00,480
of breaking ball. Swung out and missed. It's one and two. We'll be on the air tomorrow

1249
02:08:00,480 --> 02:08:07,480
night at eight ten p.m. with radio and television coverage of the second game of this series.

1250
02:08:07,480 --> 02:08:13,480
Here's a one two pitch. It's in the dirt. Bounds off the arm of Jim Pagliarone. He retrieves

1251
02:08:13,480 --> 02:08:29,480
it. Count levels at two two. Pagliarone came with Don Schwal. Two of the parrots from Boston

1252
02:08:29,480 --> 02:08:33,480
in the deal that sent pitcher Jack LeMay back first baseman Dick Stewart to Boston. Here's

1253
02:08:33,480 --> 02:08:55,480
a swing and a foul ball back and out of play. Two two count. And the two two deliveries.

1254
02:08:55,480 --> 02:09:05,480
A little never foul coming back out of play. Count holds at two two. Well I think that

1255
02:09:05,480 --> 02:09:11,480
anyone who was around here in 1960 will never forget the closing days of the National League

1256
02:09:11,480 --> 02:09:18,480
campaign and the final day of the World Series here in 1960 when the parrots won the World

1257
02:09:18,480 --> 02:09:26,480
Championship. Here's a two two pitch. And it's taking a high way. Count runs full at

1258
02:09:26,480 --> 02:09:33,480
three and two. It was one of the wildest scenes imaginable around here when the parrots clinched

1259
02:09:33,480 --> 02:09:38,480
the championship and when they won the World Championship. Here's a playoff. Pitch long

1260
02:09:38,480 --> 02:09:44,480
on as a high pop foul back a third. Bailey's over at the barrier and this one's going in

1261
02:09:44,480 --> 02:09:56,480
the seats out of play. Count holds full at three and two. One man out nobody on base

1262
02:09:56,480 --> 02:10:01,480
for the Mets batting in the top half of the sixth inning. There's one thing about the

1263
02:10:01,480 --> 02:10:07,480
National League in recent seasons that excitement of winning the championship and playing in

1264
02:10:07,480 --> 02:10:17,480
the World Series has been sort of spread around. The parrots won it in 60 Cincinnati in 61.

1265
02:10:17,480 --> 02:10:23,480
Giants in 62. Dodgers in 63. Here's a swing and a ground ball going through the hole in

1266
02:10:23,480 --> 02:10:31,480
the left field for a base hit for Bobby Clouse. Willie Stajula up with it plays it's act.

1267
02:10:31,480 --> 02:10:36,480
Mets have a base run over the one man out and Ed Crane is the batter. Ed is not in three

1268
02:10:36,480 --> 02:10:41,480
runs. He had a big double and the six run rally in the top of the fourth and he had

1269
02:10:41,480 --> 02:10:52,480
a sacrifice by the Sunniston drive and a run in the third. He is one for two officially.

1270
02:10:52,480 --> 02:10:57,480
Right now Crane Poole is hitting 342 for the seat. The left hander deals a pitch long on

1271
02:10:57,480 --> 02:11:01,480
it on the ground to Clint Denham at first. He goes across to Rogers for one to throw

1272
02:11:01,480 --> 02:11:08,480
back and not in time. That's Crane Poole beats the relay. Woods took the relay there. He

1273
02:11:08,480 --> 02:11:12,480
moved over to take the throw after Clint Denham had gone for the ball and played it to Rogers

1274
02:11:12,480 --> 02:11:17,480
for the force. Two away. Joe Christopher coming up. The Mets are leading by a score of eight

1275
02:11:17,480 --> 02:11:30,480
to nothing. Christopher had a single to drive in two runs in the sixth inning fourth. He's

1276
02:11:30,480 --> 02:11:45,480
one for three. Joe has a hitting streak going now. Out ten consecutive games. Wood checks

1277
02:11:45,480 --> 02:11:49,480
the runner first. Here's the pitch long on it and land over the head of Maseratski second

1278
02:11:49,480 --> 02:11:55,480
into right field and Clemente comes up with the ball underhanded back and Crane Poole

1279
02:11:55,480 --> 02:12:04,480
second. Christopher with his second hit of the night and that will bring up Charlie Smith.

1280
02:12:04,480 --> 02:12:11,480
Charlie coming back into the line up tonight is two for three. He had been sidelined with

1281
02:12:11,480 --> 02:12:25,480
an upper respiratory infection. Two men out, two men on. The Mets leading by a score of

1282
02:12:25,480 --> 02:12:36,480
eight to nothing in the top half of the sixth inning at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh. Wilbur

1283
02:12:36,480 --> 02:12:41,480
Wood is up and set. Runner's lead first and second. Here's the pitch to Charlie. Swung

1284
02:12:41,480 --> 02:12:49,480
out in mids for strike one. Charlie Smith has a season's batting average right now of

1285
02:12:49,480 --> 02:13:04,480
286. And he is hitting clean up tonight and manages singles batting order. There's a

1286
02:13:04,480 --> 02:13:18,480
breaking ball that's in there for a called strike. A two strike catcher Smith. Rons for

1287
02:13:18,480 --> 02:13:34,480
the Mets. Wood looks for a sign as runners lead first and second. Two strike delivery

1288
02:13:34,480 --> 02:13:39,480
and it's a check swing pop out toward the bag at second and then D. Rogers makes the

1289
02:13:39,480 --> 02:13:45,480
catch. So the side is out with no runs. Two is in or two left and the score at the end

1290
02:13:45,480 --> 02:13:55,480
of five and a half is the Mets eight and the Parrots nothing. Here at Forbes Field tonight

1291
02:13:55,480 --> 02:14:08,480
the official paid attendance is 9,169. Ladies, 2,070 and total in the ballpark 11,239. We'll

1292
02:14:08,480 --> 02:14:12,480
be going to the bottom half of the sixth inning and Willie Stargell will be up to lead off

1293
02:14:12,480 --> 02:14:18,480
for the Pittsburgh Parrots. The Houston Astros have scored another run in the fourth inning.

1294
02:14:18,480 --> 02:14:24,480
So going to the bottom of the fourth it is Houston seven and Cincinnati nothing. A regal

1295
02:14:24,480 --> 02:14:30,480
out of the ball game. Saturas in the fourth inning. For Cincinnati, Don Nottabart still

1296
02:14:30,480 --> 02:14:34,480
pitching for the Houston Astros. Rusty Saab at a three run homer in the second inning

1297
02:14:34,480 --> 02:14:40,480
for Houston. Stargell has grounded out and walked so far tonight. Big left hand batter.

1298
02:14:40,480 --> 02:14:48,480
This goes pitch for on and lined. The second where it is off the webbing of the glove of

1299
02:14:48,480 --> 02:14:53,480
Plowett on out of the right field for a paid hit. It was a line shot and Plowett went up

1300
02:14:53,480 --> 02:15:01,480
into the air. The try just to smear it but he couldn't flag and went down. It was a shot.

1301
02:15:01,480 --> 02:15:05,480
Went on out of the right where it was picked up by Christopher and played back in and that's

1302
02:15:05,480 --> 02:15:15,480
when Don Nott is up. That's when Don Nott is grounded out and off that so far.

1303
02:15:15,480 --> 02:15:23,480
This goes off the stretch and the pitch to the right hand batter is inside for a ball.

1304
02:15:23,480 --> 02:15:27,480
The Mets are leading by a score of eight to nothing in the bottom half of the sixth inning.

1305
02:15:27,480 --> 02:15:42,480
Stargell leads it first. Crane Poole playing behind the runner. Here's a pitch a breaking

1306
02:15:42,480 --> 02:15:53,480
ball low. This goes behind to and on out of Don Glenn Dunnett. Let's play him straight

1307
02:15:53,480 --> 02:16:07,480
and he has excellent speed. This goes touch for the two-oh delivery. On and on the ground.

1308
02:16:07,480 --> 02:16:11,480
The shortstop. They come on over to cross for one. The relay to first and he's safe.

1309
02:16:11,480 --> 02:16:17,480
That's when Don Nott beats the relay with his good speed. First they got the ball. This

1310
02:16:17,480 --> 02:16:23,480
goes touch for the two-oh delivery. On and on the ground. The shortstop. They come on

1311
02:16:23,480 --> 02:16:26,480
over to cross for one. The relay to first and he's safe. That's when Don Nott beats the

1312
02:16:26,480 --> 02:16:31,480
relay with his good speed. First they got the lead man Willie Stargell as he went McClurn

1313
02:16:31,480 --> 02:16:36,480
DeClause one away and Bill Mandarocki is getting up. He has walked and lined out to left field

1314
02:16:36,480 --> 02:16:46,480
so far. With the bases loaded in the bottom of the third has lined the ball to left field

1315
02:16:46,480 --> 02:16:58,480
but Ron Favota at good position and blanked it down to the off. This goes off the stretch

1316
02:16:58,480 --> 02:17:03,480
to the right hand batter. On the ground is short. They get there by macking over to cross

1317
02:17:03,480 --> 02:17:09,480
for one. The throw to first this time a double play. It goes six four three and the side

1318
02:17:09,480 --> 02:17:26,480
is on with no runs one. It's a net eight and the par is nothing. In the seventh inning

1319
02:17:26,480 --> 02:17:32,480
the New York Mets have Ron Favota leading off against left-hander Wilbur Woods. Wilbur

1320
02:17:32,480 --> 02:17:37,480
took over for Pittsburgh back in the fifth inning. He's worked two innings a lot. No runs

1321
02:17:37,480 --> 02:17:41,480
in the first inning. He's got a nice run up to his. Here's the pitcher Ron a swing and

1322
02:17:41,480 --> 02:17:46,480
a fastball strike one. Ron has bounced out of the mound lined to right hand been struck

1323
02:17:46,480 --> 02:17:55,480
out nothing for three. The Mets have eight runs on ten base hits. A curve of swing and

1324
02:17:55,480 --> 02:18:03,480
a miss strike two on Favota. Probably the key RBI's of the game to date. The two driven

1325
02:18:03,480 --> 02:18:15,480
in by Galen Susco. He drove in the first run. The bases loaded two men down. He drove in

1326
02:18:15,480 --> 02:18:22,480
the second to the third run. Way inside Ron had to bail out in a hurry. They're double

1327
02:18:22,480 --> 02:18:27,480
checking. Actually Galen drove in the first run with runners on second and third. Nobody

1328
02:18:27,480 --> 02:18:33,480
had they pulled the infield down and he's single. Drainful sacrifice fly drove in the

1329
02:18:33,480 --> 02:18:39,480
second run. A towering infield pop fly by the mound. Coming in is Don Clendenin called

1330
02:18:39,480 --> 02:18:44,480
out by Bailey on third base when Bailey grabs it. Middle way between home plate and the pitcher's

1331
02:18:44,480 --> 02:18:54,480
mound. But the biggest hit of the mall for Galen came in the sixth run fourth inning.

1332
02:18:54,480 --> 02:19:01,480
The Mets had the bases loaded. There were two men away. Galen Susco single to right.

1333
02:19:01,480 --> 02:19:05,480
For his second hit in the second RBI that made it three nothing and the Mets went on

1334
02:19:05,480 --> 02:19:11,480
to score five more runs. They got all six runs in the fourth inning after two were down.

1335
02:19:11,480 --> 02:19:19,480
Now Jim Heckman batting against Wood as he whacks it foul back upstairs and out of play.

1336
02:19:19,480 --> 02:19:24,480
For Wood young left hander from Belmont, Massachusetts was originally given a large bonus to down

1337
02:19:24,480 --> 02:19:31,480
with the Red Sox. Fenway Park and Boston a very tough ballpark for a left hander unless

1338
02:19:31,480 --> 02:19:37,480
you're overpowering or have a great fangirl. Here's the pitch on the way whacked foul as

1339
02:19:37,480 --> 02:19:43,480
Hefner had to get out of the way in a hurry. Wilbur had a good minor league record. He

1340
02:19:43,480 --> 02:19:48,480
won 15 games out of Seattle last year with the Red Sox in that field. But he had to count

1341
02:19:48,480 --> 02:19:53,480
his stuff for a small ballpark and an inviting target for right hand hitters. Pittsburgh

1342
02:19:53,480 --> 02:19:57,480
on the other hand has a big ballpark for a pitcher and particularly big for the right

1343
02:19:57,480 --> 02:20:07,480
hand hitters they felt Wilbur Wood could help them a great deal. Inside letter high. One

1344
02:20:07,480 --> 02:20:22,480
ball and two strikes on Jim Heckman were in the seventh. A one two delivery. Check swing

1345
02:20:22,480 --> 02:20:42,480
and a foul ball drifting back toward the visiting dugout. Roy McMillan is the on deck batter

1346
02:20:42,480 --> 02:20:48,480
that's sitting in the visiting seventh. A swing and a miss he got him on a big curveball.

1347
02:20:48,480 --> 02:20:58,480
Strike out for Wilbur Wood. His first as he took over in relief. Now there are two away

1348
02:20:58,480 --> 02:21:15,480
on the batter is Roy McMillan. Roy has two hits and two times at bat. Two hits and three

1349
02:21:15,480 --> 02:21:21,480
times at bat. They got him out the last time up. And the curve is over for a call strike.

1350
02:21:21,480 --> 02:21:27,480
In the fourth inning he's singled a right field with two men. In the fourth inning he's

1351
02:21:27,480 --> 02:21:31,480
singled a right field with two men down and Charlie Smith on first. Charlie went around

1352
02:21:31,480 --> 02:21:37,480
to third. Canazaro walked and loaded the bases and Francisco singled in a run. Off the outside

1353
02:21:37,480 --> 02:21:52,480
corner one ball and one strike. Fitching one and one. A ground ball hit toward the hole

1354
02:21:52,480 --> 02:21:57,480
running to his left side is Maserowski. He comes up through to Clinton and in time on

1355
02:21:57,480 --> 02:22:07,480
the side is up. Three up and three down in the visiting seventh inning and the score

1356
02:22:07,480 --> 02:22:11,480
at the end of the six and a half inning. The New York Mets eight and the Pittsburgh Pirates

1357
02:22:11,480 --> 02:22:24,480
nothing. Last half of the seventh inning the Bucks coming up against Galen Fisco. Andy

1358
02:22:24,480 --> 02:22:30,480
Rogers will be leading off and Rogers has two hits and two times at bat. He has two

1359
02:22:30,480 --> 02:22:45,480
of the five given up by Galen Fisco. So Rogers is now hitting 364. Rogers came to the Pittsburgh

1360
02:22:45,480 --> 02:22:50,480
Pirates in the winter in a deal with Chicago in which Pittsburgh gave up a rookie short

1361
02:22:50,480 --> 02:22:59,480
stop Roberto Peña and quite a bit of money. Here's the wind up and the pitch a drive

1362
02:22:59,480 --> 02:23:04,480
hit deep toward left center field. Rob Swabota won't be able to reach it. This is an extra

1363
02:23:04,480 --> 02:23:09,480
base hit rolling back toward the wall and Rogers comes in the second standing up with

1364
02:23:09,480 --> 02:23:22,480
his third into the game. Lead off double in the seventh inning by Rogers. That'll bring

1365
02:23:22,480 --> 02:23:30,480
up Jim Pagliarone and the Pittsburgh catcher has been struck out. He's been a force play.

1366
02:23:30,480 --> 02:23:34,480
Warm up action and the Pirate bullpen. Andy getting to the very water will go to a pinch

1367
02:23:34,480 --> 02:23:39,480
batter. Andy Mota has come out on deck to hit the Welber Woods and the curve is over.

1368
02:23:39,480 --> 02:23:51,480
It's Frank Wundell. Frank Crappana left hander is warming. If he comes in he'll be the third

1369
02:23:51,480 --> 02:23:59,480
south ball that Harry Walker has used tonight. Now the pitch back. Galen low and inside.

1370
02:23:59,480 --> 02:24:09,480
One ball one strike to untie Yaroni. Bag a right hand batter and he'll pull the ball.

1371
02:24:09,480 --> 02:24:20,480
Throw the Mets play him around toward left of the outfield. Breaking ball outside is

1372
02:24:20,480 --> 02:24:29,480
low. Two balls to the strike. Larry Miller is now loosening up for the New York Mets.

1373
02:24:29,480 --> 02:24:37,480
Larry joined the ball club in Pittsburgh. Larry had one-sixth and lost only one of the

1374
02:24:37,480 --> 02:24:48,480
2.5 ERA at Buffalo. Did he wrap that or take it his place on the Buffalo pitching staff?

1375
02:24:48,480 --> 02:25:11,480
2-1 delivery. Outside ball three. Galen is behind now three and one on value running.

1376
02:25:11,480 --> 02:25:18,480
Galen slowing himself down. This is the longest stretch that Cisco has worked this year. 3-1

1377
02:25:18,480 --> 02:25:24,480
delivery. Bounce foul. He went after it. It's back toward the visiting dugout behind third.

1378
02:25:24,480 --> 02:25:43,480
So now the string is at three and two. Outfielder Manimoto is out of the undocked circle. He'll

1379
02:25:43,480 --> 02:25:50,480
be batting for pitcher Wilbur Wood. The Mets eight and the parents seven were in the last

1380
02:25:50,480 --> 02:25:56,480
two to seven. The three-two is popped high in the air. Back toward the backstop. Cannavero

1381
02:25:56,480 --> 02:26:13,480
hoping for a play. Half rim and grab. So Pagliarone on three and two fouls out to Cannavero.

1382
02:26:13,480 --> 02:26:24,480
Now Manimoto right hand batter will be hitting against Galen Cisco with one out and one on.

1383
02:26:24,480 --> 02:26:31,480
Mani has been platooning in center field with Bill Burton. Burton playing against the right

1384
02:26:31,480 --> 02:26:50,480
hand pitcher. Manimoto is pitching and Manimoto against the left handers. Manimoto is the

1385
02:26:50,480 --> 02:26:56,480
second pinch hitter that Harry Walker has felt on. He used Jose Pagan in the fourth

1386
02:26:56,480 --> 02:27:05,480
inning and Jose hit into a double play. Pitch by Galen Cisco. Baltimore chop off the plate.

1387
02:27:05,480 --> 02:27:11,480
Hit toward second. Grabbed by Clouse. He throws just in time to get him. Moving on to third.

1388
02:27:11,480 --> 02:27:26,480
Goes Andy Rogers. Bobby had to hurry. That ball bounced off on plate and it went out

1389
02:27:26,480 --> 02:27:28,480
toward second. Lead off batter Bob Bailey has one hit in three times at bat. He beat

1390
02:27:28,480 --> 02:27:39,480
out a base hit to deep shortstop back in the third inning. And until Andy Rogers tossed

1391
02:27:39,480 --> 02:27:43,480
over to third while Manimoto was being thrown out Bailey has been the only pirate runner

1392
02:27:43,480 --> 02:28:00,480
as far as third base. Breaking ball over strike one. Galen trying to win his first victory

1393
02:28:00,480 --> 02:28:06,480
over the Pittsburgh Pirates. He tried to punt and he missed to take the third save and it

1394
02:28:06,480 --> 02:28:16,480
was close. Rogers was almost picked off. Canozero whipping the ball to Charlie Smith. Bailey

1395
02:28:16,480 --> 02:28:33,480
trying to punt for a base hit and get a run home but he missed on the bun and temp. Now

1396
02:28:33,480 --> 02:28:43,480
Galen out of his wind up here with a pitch low and outside one and two. Will be on the

1397
02:28:43,480 --> 02:28:49,480
air at 810 tomorrow night with a second of this five game series. Saturday afternoon

1398
02:28:49,480 --> 02:29:07,480
the game will be on at 130. And on Sunday the double header at 1pm. Now Fusco delivers

1399
02:29:07,480 --> 02:29:11,480
one and two outside at low. Chris digging it out of the dirt. It's two balls and two

1400
02:29:11,480 --> 02:29:22,480
strikes. Bobby Clouse playing almost behind second against full hitter Bob Bailey. Andy

1401
02:29:22,480 --> 02:29:42,480
Rogers on third with two men down. Pitching two and two. Outside ball three and the string

1402
02:29:42,480 --> 02:29:52,480
out four. Allows no runs and a six base hit. This has been Galen's most impressive pitching

1403
02:29:52,480 --> 02:30:05,480
performance and this is the longest stretch he has worked. Ball four he lost it. So that

1404
02:30:05,480 --> 02:30:10,480
is the fourth walk surrendered by Fusco. Now the Bucs have runners at first and third.

1405
02:30:10,480 --> 02:30:15,480
Two men down and Burton coming up. Burton has bounced to second and been struck out

1406
02:30:15,480 --> 02:30:25,480
and bounced to first nothing for three. The veteran outfielder hitting at 297. Left hand

1407
02:30:25,480 --> 02:30:36,480
hitter against right hand pitcher. Here's the pitch to him a drive in the air to center

1408
02:30:36,480 --> 02:30:44,480
field drifting back at Jim Hickman. He's there. Makes the catch the side is up. Burton skies

1409
02:30:44,480 --> 02:30:49,480
to rather deep center on the first delivery and the side is out. No runs one hit. No errors

1410
02:30:49,480 --> 02:30:54,480
two left. At the end of seven it hangs the score of the New York Mets eight and the Pittsburgh

1411
02:30:54,480 --> 02:31:06,480
Barrett's nothing. Bob Murphy with Leslie Nelson and Ralph Kanner. We go to the eighth

1412
02:31:06,480 --> 02:31:11,480
inning here at Pittsburgh. The Mets in front of eight nothing. Cannazero leading off against

1413
02:31:11,480 --> 02:31:16,480
Carpenter. Bowels it back to the crowd. Strike one. This has been hit by a pitch. They're

1414
02:31:16,480 --> 02:31:22,480
on a walk and fly to right. Frank Carpenter is on a relief for the fourth time. A bouncing

1415
02:31:22,480 --> 02:31:27,480
ball whacked to short. Handled by Andy Rogers to play the first of the downs and then in

1416
02:31:27,480 --> 02:31:35,480
one down. One out and nobody on. That'll bring up Galen Susco. Well Galen has had quite a

1417
02:31:35,480 --> 02:31:41,480
night. He has shut out the Pirates over seven innings. He's had two hits driving and he runs

1418
02:31:41,480 --> 02:31:53,480
full time. And Galen gets a hand as he comes up. But now Galen steps in against Brooklyn

1419
02:31:53,480 --> 02:32:03,480
born Frank Carpenter. Frank a 25 year old south ball was born in Brooklyn. Makes his

1420
02:32:03,480 --> 02:32:16,480
winter home now at Richmond, Virginia. He originally started out at the Yankee farm

1421
02:32:16,480 --> 02:32:24,480
system and was drafted by Pittsburgh from Columbus, Georgia in the 64 winter meetings.

1422
02:32:24,480 --> 02:32:38,480
One ball, one strike on Susco and now Galen steps up. Carpenter cranks up. Down comes

1423
02:32:38,480 --> 02:32:44,480
his pitch and it's outside to Galen. Frank Carpenter was really used out of that bullpen

1424
02:32:44,480 --> 02:32:55,480
last year. He was in 69 ball games. One five and lost three and had a 2.7 earned run average.

1425
02:32:55,480 --> 02:33:06,480
Pitching two and one. Foul ball hit down the right field line and up into the upper deck.

1426
02:33:06,480 --> 02:33:12,480
In the second inning with runners on second and third and nobody out. The infield playing

1427
02:33:12,480 --> 02:33:16,480
again, Galen bounced one through the middle scoring Roy McMillan with the first run of

1428
02:33:16,480 --> 02:33:26,480
this ball game. Grainful sacrifice fly made it two nothing. A swing and a miss he struck

1429
02:33:26,480 --> 02:33:34,480
him out. Galen is fanned by Frank Carpenter. The big explosion came in the fourth inning.

1430
02:33:34,480 --> 02:33:40,480
The bases loaded and two men down. Galen Susco single to right scoring McMillan once again.

1431
02:33:40,480 --> 02:33:46,480
That made it three nothing. Bobby Klaus walked on three and two with the bases loaded forcing

1432
02:33:46,480 --> 02:33:52,480
in a run. That made it four to two. Eddie Crane pulled in double to left center driving

1433
02:33:52,480 --> 02:33:57,480
in the fifth and sixth runs and Joe Christopher singled off the wall and left driving in the

1434
02:33:57,480 --> 02:34:05,480
seventh and eighth. Outside to Bobby Klaus one ball and no strikes. Bobby got a hit his

1435
02:34:05,480 --> 02:34:17,480
hand up as one for three and a one. Pitch by Carpenter is over for a strike one ball

1436
02:34:17,480 --> 02:34:36,480
one strike. Slow curve the drift fin of the knees for a strike one and two on Klaus.

1437
02:34:47,480 --> 02:34:54,480
The one two pitch. It's inside of the knees two and two. Eddie Crane goal waiting on deck.

1438
02:34:54,480 --> 02:35:00,480
That's the Rangool Chugga Mug is a wide mouthed last buck that holds 12 ounces of beer and

1439
02:35:00,480 --> 02:35:04,480
it even feels right when you pick it up. They're just about the handiest thirst quenchers in

1440
02:35:04,480 --> 02:35:16,480
town. You'll find special Chugga Mug displays in your area. Bobby takes the count goes to

1441
02:35:16,480 --> 02:35:26,480
three and two. Now Carpenter over the head down comes the pitch. Bow ball walks it back

1442
02:35:26,480 --> 02:35:48,480
out of play and the counter remains three and two. Three two delivery a bouncing ball

1443
02:35:48,480 --> 02:35:57,480
hit towards second. He comes up throwing and it's in time for the off. Frank Harpen comes

1444
02:35:57,480 --> 02:36:02,480
on to get the side one two three in the eighth inning. No runs no hits no errors done left.

1445
02:36:02,480 --> 02:36:13,480
At the end of seven and a half innings the score the Mets eight and the Pirates nothing.

1446
02:36:13,480 --> 02:36:18,480
Roberto Clemente will be up against Galen Fisco in the last of the eighth inning. Clemente

1447
02:36:18,480 --> 02:36:23,480
is trying to walk single to left and been thrown out by Chris Cannazero when he tapped

1448
02:36:23,480 --> 02:36:29,480
one out in front of the plate.

1449
02:36:29,480 --> 02:36:50,480
Fisco Wines here's the pitch outside and low he came sidearm with it one ball and no strikes.

1450
02:36:50,480 --> 02:36:54,480
Big swing and a scribbler fouled on the third base and once again he went for a high breaking

1451
02:36:54,480 --> 02:36:59,480
ball. Very similar pitch to the one that he was thrown out on by Cannazero his last time

1452
02:36:59,480 --> 02:37:07,480
up. The Mets were rained out yesterday Tuesday afternoon and beating Chicago ten to five

1453
02:37:07,480 --> 02:37:16,480
they had a six run inning in the fourth. Now tonight the Mets had a six run inning. Five

1454
02:37:16,480 --> 02:37:25,480
times in the young season the Mets have scored as many as six runs in one inning. Foul ball

1455
02:37:25,480 --> 02:37:36,480
hit down the third baseline by Clemente.

1456
02:37:36,480 --> 02:37:48,480
They're in the ninth inning now in Milwaukee. Braves leading the Giants ten to three. In

1457
02:37:48,480 --> 02:37:55,480
the fourth inning in St. Louis the Dodgers came up with four runs and chasing Bob Perky.

1458
02:37:55,480 --> 02:38:00,480
The Dodgers and the Cardinals are now tied seven to seven after three and a half. Low

1459
02:38:00,480 --> 02:38:08,480
and outside. Now it's two and two on Roberto Glimini. Both of the starters, Sammy Kovacs

1460
02:38:08,480 --> 02:38:13,480
and Bob Perky are out of it and the game is tied seven to seven after three and a half

1461
02:38:13,480 --> 02:38:32,480
in it. Long drive, it's deep to left center field, way out by the wall in left center

1462
02:38:32,480 --> 02:38:48,480
field. Four hundred and six foot dribble by Roberto Glimini. The ball struck in the

1463
02:38:48,480 --> 02:38:54,480
vines that just about covered the brick wall. Then dropped the right screen down on the

1464
02:38:54,480 --> 02:39:03,480
track right at the four hundred and six foot mark. What a cloud by Glimini. Willie Sargell

1465
02:39:03,480 --> 02:39:11,480
is the batter. Sargell has passed the second, drawn a walk single to right. A long hit by

1466
02:39:11,480 --> 02:39:20,480
Roberto, the seventh in the ball game for the Bucks. Fusco into his land up now to pitch

1467
02:39:20,480 --> 02:39:38,480
outside to Willie Sargell. Don Glenn Dunn is on deck. Gary Crowell and Frank Leary who

1468
02:39:38,480 --> 02:39:54,480
are midway between starts are losing in the bullfist. And the change up is a high drive.

1469
02:39:54,480 --> 02:40:14,480
Willie Sargell hit a change up to glad he's throwing power and hit the ball in the head

1470
02:40:14,480 --> 02:40:14,780
corner. That pin HTV is

1471
02:40:44,480 --> 02:40:51,480
to work in the bullpen. Along with Tom Parsons, Gary Krull, and Frank Larry were just tuning

1472
02:40:54,600 --> 02:40:59,600
up for future starting assignments Saturday and Sunday. And so now Larry Miller is coming

1473
02:40:59,600 --> 02:41:05,800
in the ball game and he's coming in having thrown only about four warm-ups. Larry was

1474
02:41:05,800 --> 02:41:12,800
not in the bullpen, Larry Miller that is, when Casey went to the mouse. And now Larry

1475
02:41:12,800 --> 02:41:19,800
Miller is being brought in. He'll have eight tosses on the mat and that's all he'll be

1476
02:41:19,800 --> 02:41:46,800
getting with him, although he did warm-up earlier in the ball game tonight. So now the

1477
02:41:46,800 --> 02:41:53,800
first two runs gave up eight hits. He walked four and struck out four. And hard-throwing

1478
02:41:53,800 --> 02:42:00,800
Larry Miller is now in the ball game for New York. Larry acquired during the winter and

1479
02:42:00,800 --> 02:42:05,800
a swap with the Dodgers. It was impressive in the spring, the best felt that he needed

1480
02:42:05,800 --> 02:42:12,800
this. Work under fire, he opened with Buffalo, he had one-sixth and lost only one and had

1481
02:42:12,800 --> 02:42:18,800
a DRA of 2.5. So did he, right then, has been sent to Buffalo and Larry Miller now takes

1482
02:42:18,800 --> 02:42:25,800
his place in the Miss Pitching staff. Larry was with the Dodgers most of last year. He

1483
02:42:25,800 --> 02:42:29,800
got off to a fast start to the Niners, the Dodgers brought him up, he was fishing well,

1484
02:42:29,800 --> 02:42:36,800
he hurt his knee in September and that hampered him the rest of the way. The hitter is Dan

1485
02:42:36,800 --> 02:42:45,800
Glenn Dunn. Glenn Dunn is 0-3, that counts the third, stops the short, reaches in a fourth

1486
02:42:45,800 --> 02:42:52,800
play. Bonnet down a third base flat, a beauty of a block, a play by Spiti, he's out of

1487
02:42:52,800 --> 02:43:03,800
base fifth. Glenn Dunn and Bunny for a base fifth and the Pirates are picking up momentum.

1488
02:43:03,800 --> 02:43:07,800
The Pirates are back in base fifth, he's got his foot made to play perfectly but simply

1489
02:43:07,800 --> 02:43:11,800
not in back. He raced in, picked it up with his fair hand through accurately, all in the

1490
02:43:11,800 --> 02:43:24,800
same motion but not in back. Now the hitter is Bill Masurowski. Doug McGraw and Tom Parsons

1491
02:43:24,800 --> 02:43:30,800
are warming up for New York. Masurowski, right-hand batter facing Larry Miller. Curve a little

1492
02:43:30,800 --> 02:43:36,800
bit outside, one ball and no strike. Larry Miller has been winning as a starting pitcher

1493
02:43:36,800 --> 02:43:45,800
at Buffalo. Now Larry will be pitching out of the bullpen with a New York miss. Nobody

1494
02:43:45,800 --> 02:44:01,800
out if he pitches to Masurowski. A foul ball hit towards the middle, a base fifth to center.

1495
02:44:01,800 --> 02:44:15,800
That hot grounder was just an entrance ball beyond the reach of the bellies. It was almost

1496
02:44:15,800 --> 02:44:20,800
a twin kill. It was hit hard by Masurowski through the middle of the base fifth, four

1497
02:44:20,800 --> 02:44:30,800
hits in a row by Fitzburg. Now the runner is on first and second, still nobody out of

1498
02:44:30,800 --> 02:44:36,800
the hitter is Andre Rogers. He is really hot. He's had three for three in the ball game

1499
02:44:36,800 --> 02:44:46,800
today. Last time up a long double. He's hitting.364. The Fitz-Pan Miller is fouled upstairs

1500
02:44:46,800 --> 02:44:53,800
and out of play. Larry had very little time to get ready. He was not warming up in case

1501
02:44:53,800 --> 02:44:59,800
he went to the mat. So he had only four or five quick warm-ups in the bullpen and then

1502
02:44:59,800 --> 02:45:12,800
came to the mat. Runners at first and third. The pitch, a line drive in the air, but right

1503
02:45:12,800 --> 02:45:18,800
here it's going to be a base fifth. Five in a row. The third foul is run. Four gets away

1504
02:45:18,800 --> 02:45:30,800
from Christopher. Giving on the third goes Masurowski and Rogers goes to second. It's

1505
02:45:30,800 --> 02:45:38,800
one and one, a base fifth and an error. And the Pirates are very quickly fighting back

1506
02:45:38,800 --> 02:45:44,800
into the football game. The crowd's standing here at Bucks Field. The Bucks have a 12-game

1507
02:45:44,800 --> 02:45:50,800
streak on the line. They now have rattled off five straight hits. Once again, Casey goes

1508
02:45:50,800 --> 02:45:57,800
to the mat. That's four hits and four times the pass for Rogers. He went on to second

1509
02:45:57,800 --> 02:46:20,800
on the error and drives to Christopher in the outfield. It's eight to three now and

1510
02:46:20,800 --> 02:46:32,800
Tom Parsons is coming in to see what he can do about it. Jim Paliorone will be coming

1511
02:46:32,800 --> 02:46:40,800
up. And Harry Walker still has a lot of bench hitting that he can call on. He has men like

1512
02:46:40,800 --> 02:46:47,800
Jerry Lynch and Gene Freeze still in the dugout, along with Ozzie Virgil, Gene Alley, and

1513
02:46:47,800 --> 02:46:53,800
Del Randall. Earlier in the ball game, he used two of his left-hander centers, Ozzie

1514
02:46:53,800 --> 02:47:17,800
Sagat and Manny Modus. Now Tom Parsons is the third pitcher of the inning. Tom's going

1515
02:47:17,800 --> 02:47:23,800
to be the second and third and nobody out. The Pirates have five straight hits. Manny's

1516
02:47:23,800 --> 02:47:31,800
406-foot double to left center. Virgil's 11th home run of the year, a two-run shot. A bunch

1517
02:47:31,800 --> 02:47:36,800
single by Glenn Bannon, a ground single through the middle by Nazarovsky, and a lying single

1518
02:47:36,800 --> 02:47:44,800
to right by Rogers. It's over at County Stadium in Milwaukee. The Braves beat the Giants tonight

1519
02:47:44,800 --> 02:47:53,800
10-3. Ken Johnson all the way was the winning pitcher. Starter Bob Shaw, the loser for the

1520
02:47:53,800 --> 02:48:09,800
Giants. Braves scored nine of their ten runs in the third inning. The only American League

1521
02:48:09,800 --> 02:48:14,800
game schedule was played this afternoon with Minnesota tightening the grip on first place

1522
02:48:14,800 --> 02:48:23,800
by beating the Red Sox 4-3, a fastball, one of your seventh game without a loss. Here

1523
02:48:23,800 --> 02:48:39,800
we go. Jim Palioroni, 6-foot-3-inch right hand batter stepping in against Tom Parsons.

1524
02:48:39,800 --> 02:48:54,800
The Pirates, if they pick up the two in scoring position, are really back at it. Dean Freeze

1525
02:48:54,800 --> 02:49:09,800
is the first to score. Jerry Lynch is also around the bat rack. Here's the pitch on the

1526
02:49:09,800 --> 02:49:15,800
way. Inside, ball one. Parsons started against the Bears over the weekend at Chase City.

1527
02:49:15,800 --> 02:49:24,800
The ball is in the starting role. The tall right-hander, Wyanton Fitch, is a high drive

1528
02:49:24,800 --> 02:49:27,800
to deep right center. Way back, the fifth-over, he's getting under it, makes the catch in

1529
02:49:27,800 --> 02:49:32,800
deep right center. Mazurowski comes down the line to score, and Rogers takes and goes to

1530
02:49:32,800 --> 02:49:46,800
third after the catch. The ball is up deep enough in the right center so that it's not

1531
02:49:46,800 --> 02:49:51,800
only a score to run, but moves the runner from second to third. Now, pinch hitter deluxe,

1532
02:49:51,800 --> 02:50:20,800
Jerry Lynch, will bat for blank curve in the fifth-over center. Jerry Lynch, better on

1533
02:50:20,800 --> 02:50:27,800
the right side. The ball is in the center, and one of the best games ever known. A high

1534
02:50:50,800 --> 02:51:02,800
drive to deep right center. Jerry Lynch getting a tremendous two-run honor on the first pitch

1535
02:51:02,800 --> 02:51:11,800
thrown by Parsons. His fourth home run of the year is fifth and eleventh, runs down and

1536
02:51:11,800 --> 02:51:34,800
again, KC has gone to the mound. Now, Jambucky and Blank-Larry are warming in the bullpen.

1537
02:51:34,800 --> 02:51:42,800
That was the 17th pinch hit home run in Jerry Lynch's career, which is a Major League record.

1538
02:51:42,800 --> 02:51:49,800
Billy Cowan and Shani Lewis are quickly warming their arms up for defensive maneuvers, and

1539
02:51:49,800 --> 02:51:53,800
the Pirates are on the verge of making one of the greatest comebacks in a ball game that's

1540
02:51:53,800 --> 02:52:04,800
been pulled off in a long, long, long time. Parsons remains in. Larry and Besky are warming

1541
02:52:04,800 --> 02:52:09,800
in the bullpen, and now KC comes out of the dugout. He was stalling for more time for

1542
02:52:09,800 --> 02:52:16,800
his bullpen. And now the changes are going to be in the outfield. Cowan and Lewis have

1543
02:52:16,800 --> 02:52:20,800
been warming up down the left field line. You need a lot of speed in the outfield with

1544
02:52:20,800 --> 02:52:27,800
this big ballpark. But now KC goes over to the third base umpire, Dan Landis, to signify

1545
02:52:27,800 --> 02:52:32,800
the changes that KC once made in the outfield. Shani Lewis will replace Joe Christopher in

1546
02:52:32,800 --> 02:52:57,800
right field. Shani Lewis goes to right, relieving Joe Christopher as a defensive move. Blank

1547
02:52:57,800 --> 02:53:03,800
Larry and Jim Besky warming up as rapidly as they can in the bullpen. KC has gone back

1548
02:53:03,800 --> 02:53:07,800
to his dugout. He's trying to get as much time for his bullpen as he can, and you cannot

1549
02:53:07,800 --> 02:53:12,800
blame him for that. It's a chilly night, and things are happening so fast, he's trying

1550
02:53:12,800 --> 02:53:22,800
to stop the momentum. Six runs are in for the Pirates. Six runs in on six hits, only

1551
02:53:22,800 --> 02:53:38,800
one out. Now Billy Cowan goes to left field, replacing Ron Swabota. Billy Cowan to left

1552
02:53:38,800 --> 02:53:43,800
field, Ron Swabota coming up. New York in the outfield now has Billy Cowan in left,

1553
02:53:43,800 --> 02:53:51,800
Jim Hickman in center, and Johnny Lewis in right. Barsen's a safe two hitter, Pal Yaroni

1554
02:53:51,800 --> 02:53:57,800
hit one about 390 to drive it a run it was caught. Jerry Lynch hit one over the screen

1555
02:53:57,800 --> 02:54:02,800
for a two run homer. The Bucks have had two home runs in this inning, they've got six

1556
02:54:02,800 --> 02:54:07,800
runs in on six hits. The Mets have a two run lead, now the wind up by Barsen, and the pitch

1557
02:54:07,800 --> 02:54:16,800
to Bailey is high, one ball to no strike. The Mets came in to the last of the eighth

1558
02:54:16,800 --> 02:54:23,800
inning with a lead of eight to nothing, it is now eight to six. Here's the wind up pitch

1559
02:54:23,800 --> 02:54:38,800
on the way, fouls by Bailey, one ball, one strike. Bill Burton is the on deck batter.

1560
02:54:38,800 --> 02:54:43,800
Bailey is the eighth man up in the inning, but many led the inning off and so the big

1561
02:54:43,800 --> 02:54:48,800
pirate guns are about set to come up again. Bailey a long ball hitting for the batter

1562
02:54:48,800 --> 02:55:08,800
now, though he's the lead off hitter. The one one pitch, low and outside, two and one.

1563
02:55:08,800 --> 02:55:15,800
Down to Parsons, pitching in relief. The doll right hander whines and pitches a smash on

1564
02:55:15,800 --> 02:55:20,800
the ground to short, he's filling up with it. The peg across the dam and two men down.

1565
02:55:20,800 --> 02:55:28,800
Bailey grounded hard to shortstop, two men out. Now Bill Burton is coming up, Burton is

1566
02:55:28,800 --> 02:55:48,800
down for four. Bill Burton is the ninth man to battle the inning. Parsons trying to get

1567
02:55:48,800 --> 02:55:54,800
on his target, here's the pitch on the way, outside and high, it's ball one. As you can

1568
02:55:54,800 --> 02:55:59,800
bet, Parsons would love to get Burton, so he'd have some money as a lead off hitter

1569
02:55:59,800 --> 02:56:09,800
instead of coming up with somebody on base. Now the left hand hitter waits and the pitch

1570
02:56:09,800 --> 02:56:20,800
gets the outside corner for a strike. One ball and one strike. Six runs are in on six

1571
02:56:20,800 --> 02:56:30,800
hits, including two two run homers. Each team has had a six run inning. A smash right back

1572
02:56:30,800 --> 02:56:36,800
to the mound, knocked down by Parsons, he thrills to first to side his outs. That was

1573
02:56:36,800 --> 02:56:41,800
a line drive but it was hit right back at Parsons who knocked it down with his glove.

1574
02:56:41,800 --> 02:56:50,800
And then through to first for the third out. Six runs, six hits, one error, none left off.

1575
02:56:50,800 --> 02:56:54,800
But the Pirates throw a tremendous scare into the Mets in the last of the eighth inning

1576
02:56:54,800 --> 02:56:58,800
and they'll be within reach when they hit the ninth. At the end of the eight innings

1577
02:56:58,800 --> 02:57:06,800
the score now of the New York Mets eight and the Pittsburgh Pirates six. Bob Murphy with

1578
02:57:06,800 --> 02:57:13,800
Lindsey Nelson and Ralph Keiner. Al McPean is now the new pitcher. Jerry Lynch who hit

1579
02:57:13,800 --> 02:57:20,800
a two run homer as a pinch hitter and established a major league record by doing so. Stays in

1580
02:57:20,800 --> 02:57:26,800
the ball game and goes to left field. Al McPean will be hitting in Bill Burton's spot. Burton

1581
02:57:26,800 --> 02:57:32,800
made the last out. So the Pirate outfield has Jerry Lynch in left. Roberto Clemente is

1582
02:57:32,800 --> 02:57:48,800
flying center and Willie Sargell has moved over to right. Now the eighth fan on the Pittsburgh

1583
02:57:48,800 --> 02:58:05,800
staff. Al McPean is pitching to Eddie Crane Poole as we go to the ninth. Outside and highball

1584
02:58:05,800 --> 02:58:15,800
once. McPean is the sixth pitcher that Harry Walker has called on. Right in for a strike

1585
02:58:15,800 --> 02:58:21,800
to Eddie. Eddie has driven in three runs tonight for the Mets with a sacrifice fly and a two

1586
02:58:21,800 --> 02:58:27,800
run double. So Eddie has one for three and three RBIs. He now leads the club in RBIs

1587
02:58:27,800 --> 02:58:32,800
taking over the leadership from Ron Swaboda. A liner hits beyond the reach of Rackers in

1588
02:58:32,800 --> 02:58:37,800
the left center for a base hit. Lynch plays the ball back in and Eddie Crane Poole has

1589
02:58:37,800 --> 02:58:50,800
his second hit. Now Johnny Lewis will be hitting for the first time. He went to the right field

1590
02:58:50,800 --> 02:59:07,800
replacing Christopher to tighten up the defense when the Pirates were scoring runs. Johnny

1591
02:59:07,800 --> 02:59:12,800
Lewis the batter against Al McPean. McPean has been given credit for saving eight victories

1592
02:59:12,800 --> 02:59:17,800
for the Pirates this year. They look for the punch. The pitch to Johnny Lewis a strike

1593
02:59:17,800 --> 02:59:30,800
on the outside corner. Bob Skinner a former Pirate has been a two run homer for the Cardinals

1594
02:59:30,800 --> 02:59:34,800
in the last of the fifth innings. Adam had a high scoring battle between the Dodgers

1595
02:59:34,800 --> 02:59:39,800
and the Cards. The Cards are back in front. He bumps it foul. No play on the count strike

1596
02:59:39,800 --> 02:59:47,800
two. Wayne Lewis nine to Los Angeles Dodgers seven with the Cardinals hitting in the last

1597
02:59:47,800 --> 02:59:57,800
of the fifth innings. Houston behind Don Nadebort out in front of Cincinnati eight to one. They're

1598
02:59:57,800 --> 03:00:04,800
the last of the seventh of Cincinnati. Right here what was an eight to nothing ball game

1599
03:00:04,800 --> 03:00:19,800
is now eight to six in favor of New York. Pitch to Lewis a ground ball to second base.

1600
03:00:19,800 --> 03:00:35,800
Mazalasky goes to second for one. Rogers the first. Not in time. Lewis gets there ahead

1601
03:00:35,800 --> 03:00:38,800
of the throw. One out and one on. Charlie Smith coming up. Charlie has two for four.

1602
03:00:38,800 --> 03:00:45,800
Frank Lary and Larry Banaras are warming up for New York. Pittsburgh in the ninth inning

1603
03:00:45,800 --> 03:00:57,800
will have Clemente, Sargell and Glenn Benning. There are three big hitters coming up. Now

1604
03:00:57,800 --> 03:01:05,800
the pitch. Chopped foul off the plate going off to the left side. No play. So Harry Walker,

1605
03:01:05,800 --> 03:01:11,800
the Pittsburgh manager has the three men he would call on first to come up and hit. As

1606
03:01:11,800 --> 03:01:15,800
the Bucks hit in the last of the ninth innings. So the Mets would love to pick up another

1607
03:01:15,800 --> 03:01:24,800
runner too if they possibly can. Off to the left side. No play. So Harry Walker, the Pittsburgh

1608
03:01:24,800 --> 03:01:29,800
manager has the three men he would call on first to come up and hit. As the Bucks hit

1609
03:01:29,800 --> 03:01:33,800
in the last of the ninth innings. So the Mets would love to pick up another runner too if

1610
03:01:33,800 --> 03:01:49,800
they possibly can. Throw to first. Not in time. Now the pitcher on the way. It's too

1611
03:01:49,800 --> 03:01:58,800
high. Charlie lets it go. One ball, one strike. Billy Cowan in the on deck circle. He relieved

1612
03:01:58,800 --> 03:02:12,800
rounds for Bota in left field. Now the 1-1 pitch. Foul ball hit him off the fist with

1613
03:02:12,800 --> 03:02:34,800
a good pitch. Back toward the first box. One out and one on in the ninth innings. They've

1614
03:02:34,800 --> 03:02:43,800
been in front on the count. The 1-2 pitch. Inside the letters two balls and two strikes.

1615
03:02:43,800 --> 03:02:47,800
Another Cardinal homer against Dodger pitching in the fifth inning by Hoolie and Havie or

1616
03:02:47,800 --> 03:02:53,800
Nobody on. So the Cardinals have at least three runs in. And they're leading the Dodgers

1617
03:02:53,800 --> 03:03:00,800
by at least 10 to 7 in the last half of the fifth inning. The 2-2 pitch. A ground ball

1618
03:03:00,800 --> 03:03:06,800
foul down the third base line. You usually won't score 10 runs off the Dodger pitching

1619
03:03:06,800 --> 03:03:35,800
staff in three or four ball games. 2-1-2. Johnny Lewis is on first. Charlie Smith is

1620
03:03:35,800 --> 03:03:43,800
the batter. Al McBean and relief. Down comes the pitch and it's a foul ball that's not

1621
03:03:43,800 --> 03:03:51,800
playable back up into the crowd. Quite a few of the fans left before that six run explosion

1622
03:03:51,800 --> 03:03:57,800
by the Bucks. The Mets were sailing along with an 8 to nothing lead coming into the

1623
03:03:57,800 --> 03:04:11,800
last of the eighth innings. Roberto Clementi's 406 foot triple started things up. Here's

1624
03:04:11,800 --> 03:04:21,800
the 2-2 delivery. Low and outside. Now a full count 3-2. Charlie has hiked his batting average

1625
03:04:21,800 --> 03:04:33,800
out of 283. Charlie has real good power. And Jerry Lynch the left fielder is playing him

1626
03:04:33,800 --> 03:04:40,800
almost back to the track in left field. Now Lewis edging off. There he goes. Here's the

1627
03:04:40,800 --> 03:05:00,800
pitch. A foul ball that lost it out of play over behind the third base dugout. Johnny

1628
03:05:00,800 --> 03:05:05,800
Lewis is the base runner at first with one out at 3-2. Let's see if Casey has him running

1629
03:05:05,800 --> 03:05:17,800
in. Now the stretch by McBean. There goes Lewis. A high fly to center field. Lewis slams

1630
03:05:17,800 --> 03:05:27,800
on the break. Lameni drifting in. He's under it. Makes the catch. Two men down. Throw two

1631
03:05:27,800 --> 03:05:40,800
outs to the top of the ninth inning and Billy Cowan will be up for the first time. Billy

1632
03:05:40,800 --> 03:05:48,800
went to the outfield for Ron Sloboda. Ron had gone headless and four times up. Here's

1633
03:05:48,800 --> 03:05:53,800
the pitch by McBean. A foul ball that knocked the Hellman right off of Cowan's head. Billy

1634
03:05:53,800 --> 03:05:58,800
grabs his forehead. Trainer guffs my turning out of the dugout but Billy says I'm alright.

1635
03:05:58,800 --> 03:06:04,800
Don't worry about me. That ball came back. It fouled off the bat handle into the dirt.

1636
03:06:04,800 --> 03:06:25,800
Bounced up and knocked the Hellman right off of Billy's head. Larry Minneth and Frank Larry

1637
03:06:25,800 --> 03:06:30,800
are keeping warm in the New York bullpen. Here's the pitch. Ground ball hit down to

1638
03:06:30,800 --> 03:06:36,800
third. Handle by Bailey. He throws the second. Fourth play on Lewis. The side is out. So

1639
03:06:36,800 --> 03:06:41,800
we'll be going to the last of the ninth inning. The side is trailing by two and there are

1640
03:06:41,800 --> 03:06:46,800
big hitters coming up. No runs, one hit. No errors, one left on. At the end of eight and

1641
03:06:46,800 --> 03:06:52,800
a half innings the score of the New York Mets eight and the Pittsburgh Pirates six. If

1642
03:06:52,800 --> 03:06:57,800
you've been wondering what Swedish Americans sing after the smorgasbord, listen to this.

1643
03:06:57,800 --> 03:07:14,800
Touralerie is a song that Swedish Americans sing over and over at their parties and picnics

1644
03:07:14,800 --> 03:07:28,800
until they raise a fearful thirst. Then they change their tune. Halon Gorr is the traditional

1645
03:07:28,800 --> 03:07:35,800
Swedish drinking. Unfortunately we are missing the audio for the Pirates last of the ninth.

1646
03:07:35,800 --> 03:07:43,800
Here's a recap of what happened. Roberto Clemente struck out and Willie Stardew grounded out

1647
03:07:43,800 --> 03:07:51,800
from pitcher to shortstop to first. And Don Clendenin fly to right field. Nothing across.

1648
03:07:51,800 --> 03:07:59,800
The final score was the Mets eight, Pirates six. Mets had eight runs, 11 hits, one error

1649
03:07:59,800 --> 03:08:08,800
and six left on base. And Pittsburgh had six runs, 12 hits, no errors and eight left on

1650
03:08:08,800 --> 03:08:31,800
base.
