The Texas Rangers faced the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium for a Saturday doubleheader on June 17, 1972.
Texas was managed by Ted Williams in his fourth year with the team.
It was the franchise's first year in Texas after moving from Washington when they were known as the Senators.
The Rangers had never made the playoffs in their history and they were coming off a 96 loss season in 1971.
New York was managed by Ralph Hauke in his sixth full season as skipper.
The Yankees were an average team, hovering around 500 for the past few seasons including missing the post season for seven straight years.
This audio recording is from Game 1 of the doubleheader featuring New York announcers Phil Rizzuto, Frank Messer and Bill White.
They don't strike. Then the Kansas City Royals, a bobbin limit come in for a night game on Tuesday, June 20, 6th Tuesday and an afternoon game on the 21st.
Kansas City and the rest of the team had shut the Yankees out a couple of times as they've been getting good pitching.
Shut the Yankees out in two ball games, one nothing.
Rooker shut them out and also a tech drago.
Let's start it will be Steve flying for the Yankees. Steve is pitching to a record of four and two.
He beat the Rangers the first time he saw him down in Texas and Arlington, Texas and he'll go against Dick Bosman, a right hander who's won four ball games and lost five.
Bosman beat the Yankees the first time he saw them down at Arlington Park.
To Arlington Park and outside of Dallas. Between Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas.
So these two right handers both have won one and lost one against each other or each other's team.
And they're both on winning streak. The Yankees have won two straight.
Pitching staff has allowed only one run in 18 innings.
They beat the White Sox 3-0 in 1-B and 8-1 on Thursday night.
The Rangers pitching staff has been doing well also. The Rangers pitching has permitted only two runs in 10 hits and their last three games all victories.
The Rangers batting has also faired up a bit in recent games of just about 270 in their last 10 ball games.

Well, the umpire is just coming out.
And we'll give it to you first.
It's a new group. I believe it's the first time we've seen them.
Ludamere will be behind the plate.
Bill Degan at first. Larry McCoy at second. And Jim Honnichick down at third.
Ralph Holt of the Yankees and Ted Williams of the Rangers are both out now giving their line-ups to the umpires.
And their line-ups will look like this. Dave Nelson will lead off to play second base for the Rangers.
Dalton Jones will play second and he'll bat second. Don Mentcher will bat third and play first base.
Batting fourth and catching Dick Pillings. Ted Ford will be in right field. He'll bat fifth.
Larry Bittner will play in left field and he'll bat sixth.
Lenny Randall, for the second time this year, playing the outfield, will play center field and bat seventh.
Elliott Maddox, New Jersey's Elliott Maddox, has a full groin muscle. He usually starts in center field.
But Randall will play center field and bat seventh.
Toby Harris at shortstop will bat eighth. And Dick Bosman, a right-handed pitcher, will bat ninth.
For the Yankees, Forrest Clark will lead off to play second base. Clark batting 239.
Johnny Callison in right field will bat second. He's batting 219.
Bobby Mercer, batting 273, will play center field. Roy White in left field, batting 264, will bat fourth.
Ronnie Bloomberg at 275, will bat fifth to play first base.
Batting the sixth and playing third base will be Bernie Allen, Bernie now batting 269.
Thurman Munchen will catch and bat seventh, Munchen at 250.
Jerry Kinney moves into play shortstop for this first game of two.
Jerry is hitting 100 and just a little bit of change, 154.
Batting ninth and pitching will be Steve Klein.
It'll be Klein and Munchen. The batteries for the Yankees.
Bosman and Cilling. The batteries for the Texas Rangers.
The second ball game of the Yankees will send off Noah Sottlemire against Mike Paul.
If you're listening, you still have time to come in and see plenty of baseball.
It's just that we thought the rain was going to keep you away. It doesn't look like it's going to rain.
It's cleared off here, although it is cloudy. And it isn't too hot, it isn't too cold.
Perfect game of sitting in the seat here and watching baseball.
Ralph Halkin and Ted Williams are really going over the ground rules with the umpires.
The first time the Rangers have been in here and Williams wants to know every quirk of the stadium.
He doesn't want to lose this ball game because of some ground rules that he doesn't understand.
They talked about the monuments out in the center field, the ball getting behind the monuments there.
Another pointing out in the left center field and everybody's happy.
The Rangers with a three game winning streak and the Yankees with a two game winning streak.
Something's got to give here in the afternoon.
We're waiting for them to come out and I think they're going to have to play.
Here they come. Here comes the Yankees.
There goes the Yankees.
And Debbie Fox just went down the first place. He'll coach there for the Rangers.
Wayne Zerwilliger will coach a third as Steve Bynes rides out toward the mouth.
Before this game starts, we're being asked to rise for the playing and the singing of our national anthem.
Thezzarellalelelelelelelela hacerlo familiarity
Oh, sing that you'll sing,
by the dawn's early light.
What's around me be fair,
as the twilight's past gleaming,
full of broad light and bright sun,
through the perilous fight,
through the long-perceived,
through the gallant's sweet gleaming,
and the rocket's red glare,
the bombs bursting in air,
came through through all night,
when a flag was still there,
through the day the best of spades
was made to fly away,
through the land of the free,
as the home of the brave.
For every home run hit today by Yankee Player,
your friends at AAPCO Financial Services
will donate a set of nine baseball gloves
to a deserving youth group in the Yankee broadcast area.
So listen closely, your group may be a lucky recipient.
So far, AAPCO has given away, let's see,
27 sets of nine baseball gloves.
Bobby Mercer's been responsible for seven of those.
Roy White, four.
Ronnie Bloomberg, three.
And Thurman Munson, three.
Johnny Callison has a couple of home runs.
And several other players have won.
So listen closely, you just might get
a nine baseball gloves courtesy of AAPCO.
Well, the Yankees defensively have
client-facing Munson catchings.
Bloomberg's his first base, Clark's his second.
Jerry Kenney is a shortstop as Gene Michael
gets a little rest in his first game with two.
The third baseman is Bernie Allen.
Let's field a Roy White,
center of field are Bobby Mercer.
And the right fielder, Johnny Callison.
Stepping it now for the Rangers will be Dave Nelson
as we're just about ready to get underway.
Nelson's playing third base, that's right-handed.
Sitting 275 with one home run, 18 runs battered in.
Allen and Bloomberg at the corner,
shorting up for Nelson, an excellent runner.
Finds ready with the first base.
And it's Fuddick Fowle outside of third.
Nelson's right away trying to fun on Allen.
Bernie was way in, throwing him out anyway.
The ball went foul.
It'll be Nelson, Jones and the Mitcher in that order.
Rangers' base, the Yankees two out of three down in Arlington.
Yankees have his quarter-settle here.
Now Clans ready with the old one-pitch.
Fastball's going on and missed, no ball to two strikes.
Last time out, Clans got shot out one-nothin'.
By the Royals in Kansas City.
Two pitches unwell today, he should win.
He'll two-pitch now, and Nelson.
Sidearm curve in the dirt, locked five months.
And it's one and two.
Nelson's right away for Nelson, so is the infield.
As Allen has moved back to third now.
One-two-pitch is outside of slider, just missed.
Taken by Nelson, and the count's two and two.
Got to have good eyes to take that pitch.
He's ready.
And the two-two-pitch, no.
Fastball hit on the ground at Kenny and Short.
Jerry with the big hop, fires across the diamond, and there's one away.
Here's Dalton Jones, the second baseman.
Jones from the Red Sox, the Tigers, now with the Texas Rangers.
He's been in the Kansas player every day.
With the Tigers, he was simply a pitch hitter.
Or if someone would get hurt, he might get an opportunity to play.
Here he's playing.
Plings on a first pitch, bounces and fouls to the first-paced coach of Fox.
Jones is batting 138 with the home run and five runs battered in.
Taken, he's playing to pull.
Calluson deep in right field, Mercer playing in right center just a bit.
Roy White straight away, just shaded maybe a little bit for what left center.
Plines ready with the old one-pitch, and it's a fastball hit on the ground.
And Kenny backs up, loves it.
You have a long throw to make, and he makes it.
Just to get him by the step.
Two outs.
Very Kenny's got an assist on both plays, and Ronnie Bloomberg will put out.
And that'll bring up the dangerous Don Mentor, the first baseman.
Mentor is not hitting for average, but this big fellow, this left-handed hitter has five home runs
and has 26 runs battered in.
He only got 20-ish.
First fish to him.
Strike.
If he's playing to pull, Kenny almost behind second, short stop.
Third baseman, Allen, Bernie Allen, playing wide of third, and in close.
Don Mentor wants to see the baseball, that must have sucked on him.
And Lou DeMuro applies, and the ball's a little bit too dirty, and he'll throw it out.
So Steve Cron was a new faceball with two outs, and nobody on the count, no balls, and strike on Mentor.
Well, try to work on the big fellow now.
Mentor with a closed stand.
That's Tato is left shoulder.
Tuts on the next pitch and fouls it off.
Then the upper deck on the left side.
Climb ahead, 0-2.
Don't forget bat day tomorrow here at the stadium.
All kids 14 and under will get a genuine little league bat.
That doesn't mean you, Barry Lander.
You're about three times that, eh?
Easy.
Ah, here's your two-pitch now, up and flying.
Strike three, call.
Got him looking.
Got him with a fastball, and that's it for the Rangers in the first three up.
And three down.
Nobody got the ball out of the infield.
After the half-finning, the Texas Rangers, nothing, and the Yankees are coming to bat.
Ever notice how many employment ads include information such as Blue Cross and Blue Shield provided?
It's one of the most important fringe benefits an employer can provide for his employees.
And here's another important fact.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans are flexible.
In other words, you can practically write your own health care plan.
You start with the basic Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans.
Depending on the number of employees you have, you can then expand your coverage in almost any area you want.
Dental coverage.
Blue Shield has a great dental plan available to employee groups of 50 or more.
Prescription drug coverage.
It's also available to groups of 50 or more.
Master Medical.
There is an a better plan than ours in the country, at least not one that we've heard of.
Today, flexibility is the name of the game in writing health coverage.
And since Blue Cross and Blue Shield practically invented group health care coverage,
isn't it logical that our plans would be the most flexible on the market?
It is logical.
And they are.
Well, the weatherman says it isn't going to rain, and there's still plenty of time to come out and see most of this ball game and also the second ball game.
See some pretty good pitching.
Mel Sautelmire will be on the mound for the Yankees, and Mike Faw will start the second ball game for the Texas Rangers.
So still plenty of time to come out the Yankee Stadium for ball games.
Dick Bosman will face horse Clark, Johnny Callison, Bobby Mercer in that order as we go into the live after first inning.
Jim Turner coaching John at first base for the Yankees this afternoon.
He's taking an Ellie Howard plays.
Ellie has gone to Cincinnati to play in an old-timers game for which she is by age well qualified.
And Dick Howes is coaching out at third.
Mark is in.
House batting 239 with a home run and 14 runs batted in.
Bosman gets a strike in the first pitch.
Dave Nelson, the third baseman, is then closed there.
Hope Barlene went with him to Cincinnati, so she won't tell him about my little remark about his age.
That's Howard.
Next pitch is popped up on the left side, right there is the left fielder, Bittner.
Under it now, and he has it for the first time.
So, horse flies to the left, and that'll bring in Johnny Callison.
Ellie's only 44 years old, right?
44?
We'll find out when it comes time for him to play.
We'll find out when it comes time for him to get his pension.
A lot of guys open 44 to 49 off of quick.
Callison's batting 219, two home run, seven run batted in.
Bat's left handed.
First pitch from Bosman, the call strike, a slider on the outside corner.
The Rangers really play Callison's full.
Four deep in right field.
Randall, the center fielder, is playing in right center.
There's a big gap in left center, and then Bittner, the left fielder, is there.
Outside, one and one, the Callison.
And the infield also overshifts on Callison.
Venture deep at first, Jones back on the grass at second.
Herald, the shortstop, not too far from second.
And the third baseman Nelson, wide at third.
Foul foul, straight back.
And it's one and two on Callison.
There's no score where the last half of the first inning.
The Yankees have an out, and they do not have a base runner.
Bosman looks at his fillings as assigned.
Right hand rolls ahead, the one-two pitch.
Hit on the ground at the first baseman.
Venture, who bobbles at the ball behind, he throws to Bosman,
covering the gut Callison by step.
Venture, bobble that ball, just go too far behind.
He picked it up and just lost it to Bosman, covering.
And there's two outs.
This hand is for Bobby Mercer.
Mercer batting 273 with seven home runs and 22 runs batted in.
Bosman beat the Yankees 6-3 on June 6th.
He allowed only one hit in six innings.
He gave up a couple of runs early without giving up any hits.
He was taken on, he gave him the bottom half of six-foot pinch hitter.
Venture singles for him.
Bosman was saved by Paul Lindblad.
Now he's ready for Mercer and gets the slider on the outside corner for strikes.
A lot of room dead away center for Mercer.
He hits the ball out that way and he'll have to reach the monument.
Grads isn't too soft to start because of the rain we had yesterday last night.
He really always shook for Mercer.
And surprisingly, Bosman threw him outside.
He'll catch your one pitch, another pitch outside, one on one.
Usually a pitcher, if he's going to pitch you away, he'll have the outfielders and the infield straightaway.
Or even pagers on the left side.
They're pitching Mercer away and playing him to pull.
One-one pitch, change up, driven to right field, nobody will get that.
Face in, inside the line.
Three of them in first base, it was five for two and he'll make it standing up.
Now that's Mercer's tenth double.
Surprisingly, Bobby has no triple.
He has seven-one run, so Mercer on his second was two outs.
And the last half of the first inning and that'll bring in Roy White.
White and Mercer share the lead in home runs for the A.G.
and runs batted in for the A.G.
Each with 22, so Roy here with an opportunity to go one up on Mercer.
Always good to have two guys sort of in conversation with each other.
RBI, home run.
Make each do a little bit more.
Bosman stretches now, they'll check first or second.
Pitch to White, fouled off.
That's five Bloomberg on the on-decks.
White's batting 264.
In addition to his four home runs and 22 runs batted in, Roy Leity-Ake is with ten stolen bases.
Two outs here in the last half of the first inning.
Mercer on his second with not too big a lead there.
Now Harrow moves a step behind him as Bosman comes second.
Check Mercer, the old one pitch, outside one or one.
Bosman pitching carefully to White here with two outs and the last is a personal chore yet.
The one one pitch, that gets the outside corner of basketball tailing away from White and it's one and two.
Ball to more leads the American League, along with Detroit.
Both were 29 ball games in last 22, leaving five games out.
The Yankees six, no the Boston Red Sox six, the Yankees seven.
And then the Milwaukee Brewers five games behind the Yankees.
Here's the one two pitch, not a White. Cut on and fouled off, breaking ball.
And it's still one and two.
There's still plenty of time for the Yankees to move up in the American League each race.
They really haven't got a real long winning streak going yet.
So you figure every team should have one of those over a year.
And the West also leads by three games over the Chicago White Sox, Minnesota's sixth Sox.
California, Canada, City of Texas all bunch together.
Now the stretch by Bosman, he'll check Mercer's second, pitch to White.
Swung on and miss the struck him out.
So Bosman gets out of danger by striking out White for the Yankees in the first, no runs on one hit, then a double by Mercer.
There were no ranger errors and Mercer was left to second base.
After one, the Yankees nothing and the Texas Rangers nothing.

Cleveland's it open. Baltimore is it's Minnesota and Baltimore is 1-8 straight ballgame.
Kansas City is at Milwaukee.
Tonight, the guard will play California.
Boston, Chicago will play a day-night double header.
We'll get two separate ballgames in there.
I'll give you the nice little scores in just a moment.
Six fillings will step in for the Rangers against Fyne.
As we go into the top of the second, the fillings take the strike on the outside corner.
The fillings batting 2.75 with three home runs, 18 runs batted in.
And he did Yankee pitching well.
Fyne is ready. Over the head, the old one-pitch.
Breaking ball, that's too high, one-on-one.
Yankee's play this right-handed hitter straight away.
In the nice league, the Mets play Cincinnati tonight.
Montial at Atlanta tonight.
San Francisco in St. Louis at the day game.
As the game LA at Chicago.
1-1 pitch now.
Mount foul outside of third five fillings.
1-2.
San Diego will play Pittsburgh at the day game.
And the fillings are at Houston for games tonight.
That's the schedule.
And today's official score, Jim Ogle of the North Star Legger.
Here's the 1-2 pitch to Billy.
Bounce down the third base.
It's going to be a fair ball.
Up with a zowl and throws, not in time.
Ball looked like it was going to go foul.
He pops it down the third base line.
Allen charges near the line, came up.
And threw but not in time.
So, fillings will get an infield hit.
That's the first hitoff climb.
That'll bring in Ted for the right fielder.
Four to right-handed hitters batting 276 with five home runs.
And 14 runs battered in.
1-1.
The fillings, Bill Gain reminds me, is hitting 6-15 against the Aggies.
Now he's 8-13.
Stretch by Klein and the pitch to 4.
Slung on and missed.
That's right.
8-13.
He's got a lot of RBIs in those 8-2.
A home run and 3-runs battered in.
It's averaging an RBI game.
That's not too bad.
Here's the stretch now by Klein.
He checks Bill Gain.
He throws there, and Bill Gain's back easily.
Aggies looking for 2 with Allen, the third baseman, in close.
He's even with the back outfield straight away.
No score with the top of the second.
He's team with a hit.
Stretch by Klein.
And the old one pitched to 4.
Hit on the ground, and Kenny had short.
Could be 2.
He goes the Clark for 1.
Return to first, and it's a double play.
And that's 6 double plays in the last two ball games with the Aggies.
Made 5 against the White Sox in their last ball game, 1-year.
So a 6-4-3 double play, and there's 2 out here in the second.
That was started by Jerry Kenny.
Gene Michael had been on the other 5 against the White Sox.
So the short stops are busy.
Here's Fitton, our left-handed hitter.
Takes the strike and flies.
Fittner batting 2-44, and the Aggies claim to 4.
No score with the top of the second.
The Yankees and the Texas Rangers.
The next pitched it on the ground to Clark.
Clark moves near second, comes up with it.
Clips over to Blue Bergen first, and they've got Fittner there.
So the Rangers in the second inning.
No runs on one hit.
No errors, and by a double play, nobody's left on base.
After 1-1.5, the Yankees nothing, and the Texas Rangers nothing.
Taking a double head around a hot summer day, and you'll know how the bleachers got their name.
Before you know it, you've got yourself a scorching thirst.
A thirst for a couple of beers.
So today, there's only one beer that'll do.
Shaper, shaper, shaper, shaper, shaper is a beer.
One beer to have when you're having more than one.
Shaper, pleasure doesn't fade even when you're first to die.
The most rewarding way better in this best world.
Better people who I have been far, shaper in love.
One beer to have when you're having more than one.
I'd say we go into the last half of the second inning.
The Yankees will send up Bloomberg, Allen, and Munston in that order.
I got sick by the time there's no score.
Hey, don't forget bat day tomorrow here at the stadium.
All kids 14 and under who are coming by in the dawn will get a bat.
Dad, you can bring your whole ball club.
A little league team, about 15, 16 guys, and you can outfit them.
The rest of this year and next year.
Got some pretty good hitters, so I'm sure you don't break bats.
You might use those bats in a long time.
Bat day tomorrow, it's all so far this day here at the stadium.
Bloomberg's there, Ronnie batting 275.
Takes the breaking ball high.
Ronnie with three home runs, 17 runs, about it is.
They play them to full as they do all the left handed hitters on the Yankee team.
Here's the one old pitch now, to Ron.
Swung on, driven to right center field, is the bat race in half.
Randall's out there in a ball through the bobbin.
For a base hit, so Bloomberg singles in front of the center field of Randall.
And that bat broken hat, he's got to be a strong fella.
That breaks an average single out in the right center.
Now, keep in mind that Randall is normally a second baseman and an infielder,
and this is only the second time that he's played the outfield for the Rangers.
Elliott Maddox, who normally plays center field, who has great range, has a full groin muscle.
So, Bloomberg is on it first, and Venture will play behind him.
And the batter is Bernie Allen.
Allen's playing third, batting 269.
Plays on the first pitch and follows the bat.
Bernie took a half-week.
Bosman, he's pumping that ball on the outside corner.
The absence of Maddox has got to hurt this Texas ball club.
You've got to have a center field or who's got your ball.
She Maddox and the dugout now looking out at center field.
Now, the special spot buzzer, Bloomberg leads the first.
And the pitch, too low, one-on-one on Allen.
The Rangers continue to play behind the Yankee base runners.
There are no outs with the last half of the second inning.
Bosman likes to sign from Billy.
He comes set now.
Checks Bloomberg throws the first.
No chance at all as Venture, who reminded me earlier, is playing behind the boomer.
And on the special spot buzzer, Allen waits.
The one-on-one pitch is punted down the third base side,
and it's now snuffed up with it, throws the first, they get him there.
Allen is out, Bloomberg on his second base, and we'll be back to it to sacrifice.
We'll be back with a certain months in just a moment.
This is the New York Yankee Base ball net.
We're at Paul's Station identification.
You are listening to Radio 81 WGY, a General Electric broadcasting station in Schenectady, New York.
So give Bernie Allen the sacrifice.
He's out five to three.
Bloomberg down his second, and the batters sermon Munchen.
Munchen batting and even 250.
Free home run, 15 runs battered in.
That's right-handed, and the off-field straight is up just a bit for him,
although they still leave a lot of room in left-center field.
Bosmans come to the bell, and the fish come on.
The slider on the outside corner for strikes.
No score yet, where the last half is second inning.
Yankees with their second base runner at second base in his fourth position.
Mercer doubled in the first inning, was left there as white struck out.
Bloomberg sings sacrifice second by Allen this inning,
and he's there waiting to come home as Bosmans checks him.
The old one pitched to Munchen, is down low one-on-one.
After Munchen, it'll be Jerry Kinney.
Bloomberg with a short lead off and six.
As Bosmans will take a peek at him.
The one-on-one pitched to Munchen.
Sit on the ground and shortstop.
Bloomberg's trying for third.
He'll make it there.
They'll throw the first, and they've got Munchen.
Boomer took a chance with the ball hit to the shortstop, and he made it.
But Munchen was thrown out five to six to three.
There are two outs, and here's Jerry Kinney.
Billings takes a peek at Ted Williams to see what they want to do with Kinney,
because Steve Klein, the pitcher, is next up.
And Billings is reminding Bosmans of that fact, and to be careful here with Kinney.
Kinney batting 154.
He has an RBI.
Jerry hitting left-handed.
Now the outfield plays him straight away, and they're in close.
Randall's in very close to center field.
Those of the left field are Fittner, and he's near the line.
Bosmans will wind.
And he gets a breaking ball.
It's too low.
Kim Turner making his debut as the first basecoach is here.
Ellie Howard, and Cincinnati for the all-four Old Tiemers game.
Now Bosmans wind.
And the pitch is a strike call.
Kinney's got a check and swing, but the ball just sticks the outside corner, breaking ball.
Counts one and one.
The boomer leading off down to third.
Not too big a lead, as Bosmans reads the signs of Billings.
He likes it, and he won.
Here's the one-one pitch to Kinney.
Outside of fastball, ball two.
So, nice league, the Metro half-game behind the Pirates in the east.
The Cubs are four and a half games off.
Cardinals, Montreal, Philadelphia, all bunched.
As Kinney calls time, he backs off.
And the nice league west, though, as Cincinnati Reds continue to run,
the big red machines, two and a half games ahead of Houston and Los Angeles.
Atlanta's eight off.
Two-one pitch to Kinney is too low, ball three.
San Francisco and San Diego are out of sight in the west.
Three and one on Kinney with two outs.
Bloomberg down third.
No score in the last of the second.
Here's three-one pitch.
Breaking ball misses outside.
He walks.
He didn't want to pitch to him too much because Klein's next hitter.
Bosmans giving up his first walk, and the Yankees now has runners in first and third,
and Steve Klein's a hitter.
Klein looks like a hitter, and he gets a piece of the ball,
but he doesn't get too many base hits.
He is one for 23, batting 0-43.
What's he like to get one here?
Toaks up on the bat, hits right-hand.
Venture behind Kinney at first.
Bloomberg with a short lead off third.
Outfield still straight away for Klein.
Here's a pitch.
Breaking ball backs him off, but he gets the plate.
Strike.
Bosmans throws a sidearm breaking ball.
He throws a sinker.
Doesn't throw that hard, but he is an excellent control pitcher.
Here's your one pitch now to Klein.
Kinney's moving.
The ball's in on his line drive to the second baseman, Andrews,
and he gloves it.
Andrews started to go the first base.
He was waiting on a sign from the second base umpire, Larry McCoy.
So Jones, the second baseman,
picks up that line, drive off the bat of Klein,
for the third out, and for the Yankees in the second.
No runs on one hit.
There were no errors, and two men left on base.
After two, the Yankees nothing, the Rangers nothing.
At the Getty Oil Company, we sell premium gasoline for a few cents less per gallon
than most other major premiums.
So you get extra gas for your money.
In fact, if you drive around 12,000 miles a year,
and you use Getty Premium, you'll get enough extra gas to get you from New York,
across Delaware.
What's that thing you can find, Ben?
That's a cow, son.
Down through Charleston, South Carolina.
Look at all the fuss on that cow, Dad.
That's a horse, son.
And into the Sunshine State, Florida.
A total of about 1,000 extra miles.
Come on, Dad.
That's a monkey, son.
Getty, the company that gives you more gas for your money.
So you get more miles for your money.
Now, tomorrow, it'll be Mike Kekic against Pete Robur again.
It'll be Bat Day here at the stadium tomorrow.
Also, Father's Day.
Chance for all youngsters, boys who go up 14 and under to get a Hilberton Bratsby bat.
Lennie Randall, the center fielder, will lead off for the Rangers in the third.
Randall Bat's right-handed. He's batting 2-13.
Bunt's the first pitch.
Bunt's the fixed up.
Throw's the first and got him by 2-7.
Ball was fluttered right out in front of the mound, in front of the plate.
Munson, one of the quicker catchers in the American League, bounced out and got Randall, who can fly by 2 steps.
That might stop them from trying to fun.
So Randall is out 2-3, and there's one out here in the third, and that'll bring in Toby Herron.
This right-handed hitter is batting 2-42.
For a while, he let the Rangers and RBI's with 23.
Mentor now has 26. As Herron follows the first pitch down the first baseline, Bloomberg is out, but he can't get to it.
Too far back in the seats.
Last time we saw the Rangers in Arlington, Texas, Herron was having a lot of trouble defensively at shortstop.
He was hitting the ball well, and so a couple runs against the Yankees.
You've got to catch once in a while too.
Herron with a brown bat, Docks over his right shoulder, and Klein is ready for him. Here's the old one, pitch.
Swung on, loop to center field, Mercer's huffing in, Bobby has the range now, and he has it for the second half.
And that is the first put out for a Yankee outfielder.
And 2-2-3 innings. Here's Dick Bosman in the pitches.
No score with the top of the third.
Rangers no runs on one hit, the Yankees no runs on two.
Yankees have had a couple of men in scoring position, one as far as third base, but that they'll break through on Bosman.
Bosman hits right handed.
Bounces the first pitch right back to Klein, who loves it.
Goes to Bloomberg at first, and Bosman is out 1-3, and the Rangers are out 1-2-3.
And after 2-1-2 innings of play, the Yankees nothing, and the Texas Rangers nothing.
These are the sounds of a friendly little game of basketball. And that's not all.
The rules are the sounds of a thirst in the making.
A more than one beer at first. A thirst that's big enough for a couple of beers at least.
A thirst that's big enough for a shake.
Shaper has the unmatched quality of flavor that never fades.
First cold frosty glass to last. Shaper is made for the more than one beer man.
Always has been. Always will be.
Shaper is the one beer to have when you're having more than one beer.
Well, tomorrow's Bat Day game, it'll be Mike Kekic, a flame thrower against Pete Roper, who also throws a little heat.
There should be a plenty of guys carrying lumber back to the dugouts tomorrow.
Broberg can get the ball to play pretty quick, and Kekic can also get it up there.
So Broberg and Kekic, a fireballing left-hander, and a right-hander who throws aspirin.
We'll see them tomorrow here at Bat Day.
Here in the last half of the third inning, Morris Clark will lead off with the egging.
It'll be Clark Callison and Mercer.
The horse has been up once, he's flying the left field his only time up,
and Bittner is out there waiting again in close.
As Bozman misses with a breaking ball, Haas has dropped a couple of points,
spouting 237 now, hitting the left-hander to get Bozman.
The one old bitch is a fastball of bitches outside, ball two.
They spread out for the horse and claim in close the outfield.
Nelson, the third baseman, also plays shallow.
As Bozman's ready with the two old bitch, inside ball three, three balls in those strikes.
The horse is not walking this year as much as he walked last year, he's only walked 15 times.
As here comes the three old bitch and his take, it's a strike, three and one.
And the three one bitch, outside ball four, so Clark.
Dog's down to first on a three one bitch as he's walked, and that is a walk number two given up by Bozman.
He has a strike off and Johnny Callison will be in.
Callison's over one, he bounces the first baseman, goes through the Bozman covering, back on the first inning.
John now batting 216, couple of home runs, seven runs batted in,
and the Rangers now swing around, they play Callison to pull.
Still that big gap in left-center as Bozman will check Clark.
He goes to Mentor who's still playing behind the Yankee runners.
And Clark has six stolen bases, now the stretch by Bozman, off with a big lead.
Another throw, Clark is back.
Time to call all this Callison, tired of waiting.
Steps out, now he's back in.
No score, we're in the last half of the third inning, the Yankee with the runner at first, no out, and Callison's a hitter.
The pitch to John, swung on, pops up in the left field.
Bittner with a long run, the shortstop here is out there too, Bittner, error call for it, and what hands it?
And it looks like that outfield is a bit damp.
Saw some flashes of water coming up as Eric got under that ball.
So Callison pops out to the shortstop, pair up for the first out here in the third, Clark still at first, and the batter's Bobby Mercer.
Mercer doubled down the right side his first time up, so Bobby's one for one, he's batting now 277, that hit was worth four points to him.
As Bozlin comes set, Clark leads.
The pitch, swung on, loose out in the left center field, Bittner's way back after, the left field has the range now, under it, and he has it for the second out.
Mercer trying to hit the ball in the gap that the ranger's giving in the left center field, got a little bit too close to the left field,
and Bittner ran it down for the second out, so Clark now still at first base, and the batter will be Roy White.
With one out, also wanted to stay pretty close to first base, but with two outs now, you might see him run, especially with Mercer still behind him at first.
Mercer is not holding him on, although he's stationed between Clark and a bag.
Throw the first, Clark is back.
White's over one, he's struck out in the first.
Two outs, Clark at first base, no score when the last of the third.
The rangers and the Yankees.
Here's the pitch to White, and it misses outside.
Roy batting 263.
Left handed, he came into the game batting 250, right handed, he hits 288.
The stretch, and the pitch.
Loop to left field, that's going to be trouble.
It's going to fall, fair bounce into the seats.
Ground rule double, Clark will have to stop at third.
Well, they're going the right way, but they got a bad break there, if that ball is stayed in play, it was a possibility Clark might have tried to score.
But when the ball bounced into the seats, down the left field line, Clark was held at third by the umpire down there, Jim Honichick.
White crews on in the second base with a ground rule double, and that'll bring in Ronnie Bloomberg, who's single to right field at first time up.
Yankees at second and third, with two outs here in the last half of third inning, and the boomers in.
The base hit the bloomer last time up with worth seven points, he's batting 282 now, left handed hitter, strong. Waves the battle with the plate.
First pitch to him, it's outside of ball.
Now Bosman just might rather pitch to Bernie Allen the next hitter than to pitch to Bloomberg, let's see.
Of course, he'll try to make him bite on a bad pitch if he can.
Second baseman, Joe, is playing on the grass there.
One old pitch, that's a breaking ball, it's in there for a strike, one and one.
Clark at third, White at second. First base is unoccupied, there are two outs, count one and one on the boomer.
Neither team scored yet, Bosman looking into bat fillings is captured.
Now he looks over Clark leading from third, White, so one one fish to the boomer, fastball is fouled back.
Now he's fishing to the bloomer and is ahead of him now, ball and two strikes.
There's got to be 75 yards between the center fielder, Randall, and the left fielder, Bittner.
Now Randall moves back over, now he's closed the gap to about 70 yards.
And Bosman likes the sign, he's going to win.
One two-pitch at a moment, breaking ball is too low, blocked by a fillings.
And the count's all even, two balls and two strikes.
I've never seen such an extreme shift. Everybody hits straight away.
Most everybody plays straight away and you're going to catch anything.
You ask for trouble when you use extreme shifts like this.
You've got to hit the ball though.
Kurt Simmons, you go over hitters and one guy would say play him the pull, play this guy the pull.
Every time you go over here Kurt Simmons just plays straight away.
Once in a while he's got to pull everything he's said to play the pull.
Here's a two-pitch not a boomer.
Hit on the ground to the first baseman, Mettler, who waits on it and he'll go to first himself and beat Bloomberg there for the third eye.
Well the Yankees threaten but they get no runs.
They get one hit a double by a white, there were no ranger errors and two men were left on base.
At the end of three the Yankees nothing and the Texas Rangers nothing.
Lake Washington was in bad trouble and getting worse and so a few of us got together.
And when the movement got rolling thousands of people became involved.
The whole region came to life.
We saved the lake and we were willing to pay for it.
Life will be saved only if each one of us acts, acts upon the simple truth that I can do it.
Then we will see how much we can achieve together.
For information write U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Washington, D.C. 20460.
We're going to a new way of doing it.
Well Dave Nelson will lead all four of the Rangers as we go into the top of the fourth.
No score.
Steve Klein has shut out the Rangers so far as Dick Fosman has handcuffed the Yankees.
Nelson's over one, he bats right at it, takes a breaking ball too low.
Nelson the third baseman.
Used to be the property of the Cleveland Indians.
Good speed.
One old pitch to him.
Swung on, bounced foul outside a third.
And the count's one and one.
Ball games today, Cleveland's it open.
Minnesota Kansas City, Milwaukee and Chicago, White Sox playing the Boston Red Sox in Boston.
All day games.
The one night game between playing California.
Klein's ready, the one one pitch.
Line drive, face it, left field.
And the ball stops out there to White as the wet grass grabs it.
But Nelson will have to stop at first with a single.
That's only hit number two off of Klein.
Nelson leads off the fourth for the Rangers with a line single to left field.
And the batter will be Dalton Jones, the second baseman.
Jones bounces the short his first time, he's over one.
Dalton the left hand editor.
He'll be followed by Don Venture who's in the on deck circle.
Klein comes set now.
Nelson the next one baserunner.
He's a called strike a fastball.
Nelson has 18 stolen bases.
Well he had 18 last time we saw him in Arlington so he hasn't stolen any since then.
But he's a threat to steal the throw there and he just slides back in safely.
Another throw and he's safe.
That was a little closer.
Counts the ball to strike on Jones.
As Klein comes set.
Another throw to first and he's safe again.
All three plays at first base have been closed but Nelson has just gotten a tip of his fingers
back and on the bag before Bloomberg's gotten tagged him.
Klein's really giving him the once over.
He comes set and the pitch, fake running by Nelson.
The ball's outside.
Nelson gives you that ball of start at first base.
He realizes that Munson can get that ball down the second pretty quick and another throw to first and Nelson's back.
Part of Klein's job is keep that man close. If he keeps him close enough Munson can throw him out.
Nelson takes it, Lee is Klein checking.
Here's the one-one pitch with Jones. He's going, hit on the ground with Klein.
He knocks it down. His only play will be the first base and he gets Jones there for the first stop.
Nelson went on in the second.
Steve tried to hurry that. He knew Nelson was running.
He wanted to grab the ball and go to second. Still tried for two.
Being in a hurry, the ball came out of his glove,
dropped in front of him and he picked it up and got it to Bloomberg for the out.
Nelson went on in the second, unmolested and there's one away and here's Don Mentor.
Now Munson wants to talk to Steve Klein.
Mentor is a tough man with men in scoring position.
He's got only 20 hits but 26 runs batted in.
Don Mentor struck out his first time up.
Got looking at a fastball on the inside corner.
No score with the top of the fourth.
Nelson leaves from second.
Kenny tries to hold him there. Throw a second and they've got him there.
Yes sir, Jerry Kenny stuck in behind Dave Nelson.
Klein, Wurl and threw a perfect strike there. All Kenny had to do was drop his glove.
And that scoring thread's gone by the board.
And as Nelson's wiped out from one to six, a pretty pick off play
and Mentor will have to bat now with nobody on it too fast.
Bind's ready and the pitch to Mentor is outside of ball.
That pick off play is a big play.
There's a one-old pitch to Mentor. Outside ball too.
And that's the third pick off by the Yankees this year.
Munson's picked a couple of guys off a third.
So now Steve Klein and Kenny have worked.
That's embarrassing to be picked off second base.
That's a two-old pitch to Mentor.
Swung on. It's down the first base. Bloomberg has it on the line.
It's a fair ball. Ronnie jogs in, touches first for the third out.
For the Rangers in the fourth, no runs on one hit. No errors and since Nelson got picked off a second,
nobody was left on base. After three and a half, the Rangers nothing and the Yankees nothing.
Why don't you cast it over there right by that rock?
These are the sounds of a more than one beer day.
A hot summer day that makes you build a more than one beer thirst.
You sit and you wait for the big ones to bite.
But the one thing you're sure to catch is a whopping thirst.
A thirst that's big enough for a couple of beers at least.
So today, only Shaefer will do.
Oh, we got him!
Shaefer pleasure stays first beer smooth, first beer bright, first frosty glass to last.
You see, we started practicing on more than one beer thirst.
Back before most blues even started brewing and practice makes perfect.
Shaefer is the one beer to have when you're every more than one.
After fat day tomorrow here at the stadium, which is also Father's Day, the Kansas City Royals will come in.
Bob Lemon will bring his nine in for a night game on Tuesday and an afternoon game on Wednesday.
Chance to see little Freddy Potech, all you guys that aren't six feet.
Think you can't play baseball. You come out and watch that little fellow play.
And you realize that no matter how big you are, you can play baseball.
Potech will leave the Royals in.
Bernie Allen will lead off with the Yankees and the fourth takes the strike from Boswell.
Bernie's been up once, he sacrificed.
No score yet. Both pitchers have been send you with it.
Yankees have three hits. The Rangers only two off of five.
The next pitch is too low from Boswell and the counts one and one on Bernie Allen.
Yankees are picked up ahead in each inning, but they have not scored yet.
They have anything on the board.
Here's a one-one pitch to Allen.
Outside, driven deep to the right center field.
No one's going to get that way out there.
That ball is up against the floor board, bounces back in and Bernie Allen is doubled.
That ball is atop the floor board.
And four to right fielders on the fly off of the board.
But by the time he got the ball back on the infield, Bernie Allen had a stand-up double.
So the Yankees now have at least a hit in each inning up here in the fourth up until the fourth.
And the batter is Sermon Bunsen.
Bunsen's been up once, bounces short.
Serm batting a point now under 250.
Three-hole run, 15 run, batted.
And he'll try to hit the ball to the right side as Boswell comes set.
Bunsen starts the bounce and gets the bat back.
He's going to butt down the right side and the ball is too low.
One ball in those strikes all month.
Bernie Allen leading from second with no outs here in the fourth. No score yet.
Sermon standing deep in the box.
He's got his feet a little bit close together now there and he usually hits.
The pitch to him. Hit the right field, that'll be out of play.
The upper deck.
Serm trying to do his job.
He wants to hit this ball on the ground on the right side, get a base hit to the right side.
He wants to get Allen over third.
For Jerry Kenny, who was in the on-decks here.
Boswell looking a long time at Billings.
Really reading it.
Now here, a couple of steps over in there second and that chases Allen back there.
Bunsen steps out.
Now the stretch. Allen leads from second. Here's the one-one pitch.
Best ball is too low.
And time's all now as Billings wants to talk to his catcher.
He wants to talk to his pitcher.
It's like this might have, I wonder if he'd chew. He might have swallowed some tobacco juice.
Now he's talking the home plate on fire a little bit more often.
He counts two balls in a strike on Bunsen. Bernie Allen purges the second base.
We're in the last half to fourth inning. There are no outs. And there is no score yet.
Now everybody's ready.
Bunsen's back in.
Billings is given a sign. And now Thurman backs out again.
Still that big gap in left center field as Boswell comes set.
Too low ball three, three and one.
Bernie Allen who led the inning off with a double has 12 hits and 31 drips over his last nine games.
She started from doing a third to second. That's a 387 clip.
Now the stretch by Boswell. The pitcher's ball four outside.
And just before Jerry Kenny steps in, this is the New York Yankee Baseball Network.
Let's pause for station identification.
You are listening to Radio 81 WGY, a general electric broadcasting station in Schenectady, New York.
Jerry Kenny's ahead. Bosman has just given up his third walk of the ball game.
And Munson's on it first. Allen's on it second. There are no outs.
Bosman walks Kenny back in the second inning.
So now let's see how the Yankees live.
Kenny Bunner will head away. Steve Klein is on deck.
Pitch the Kenny's. The breaking ball is wide of the plate.
And Jerry did not square it apart.
The second base with Jones are really playing around down there with Bernie Allen.
They're trying to keep him close. Here's the stretch.
One-oh-pitch to Kenny. Luke to left field. That should be easy for Bittner.
He's under and he has easily for the first half.
So Kenny lines to Bittner and left field for the first half.
The runners hold. Allen goes back a second. Munson back to first.
And the batter will be Steve Klein.
Klein is all for one.
The line doubted first time up.
Matthew Lyons and Jones, the second baseman.
The Rangers now look for Bunn.
Mention the first baseman's been close.
So has Nelson, the third.
Bittner gets the ball quickly into the infield.
He gets to the set off band Dave Nelson in between third and old.
So Klein, instead of Bunning, as the Rangers expected,
swung on the first pitch and lined the base head to left field.
And the bases are loaded with the Yankees.
Klein at first. Munson down at second. Allen at third.
One out and the batter is Ors Clark.
That's helping your own cause.
That's hit number five off Bosley.
And Ors Clark batting left handed steps in.
The Rangers will play back. They'll look for two with one out.
Clark with a home run and 14 runs batted in.
Looks like Bosley's going to wind up. He will not stretch.
He's going to run, hearing it, feeling it.
And he goes over the head and a pitch.
Brick the ball. Is it in the air to center field?
Randall's back and runs to score.
He's under it. Allen ties and he hustles in and he will score.
As Randall threw the ball to third.
Munson held at second.
Klein at first and the Yankees laid the ball game one-nother.
Dave Clark, a sacrifice flight to center and RBI.
It's RBI number 15 for the Hals.
Munson still at second. Klein at first.
Two outs now. Here's Callas.
John's over two. He's bounced down and popped up.
Halsfield plays him before. Jones to second base and still on the grass.
Come set. Pitch is a fastball too high.
Yankees have been chipping away at Bosley and he's chitting.
They've picked up at least one hit each inning.
And now they've picked up their first run, the first run of the ball game.
Big right hander comes set.
Munson is back. The pitch is swung on and fouled off.
Allen by Billings and the count's one and one.
Callasen has two home runs. John has seven runs battered in.
He plays that battle with a plate. Coxsville has left shoulder now and the one one pitched to him.
And that ball is thrown out as DeMiro does not like it.
Says it's too dirty. Rolls it out of play and Bosman gets a new baseball.
Two outs. Munson down at second. Klein on at first.
Here's a two one pitch down to Callas.
Fastball is swung on and missed two and two.
John tried to check his wing on that pitch but he went too far.
Jones all even.
Forget that day here tomorrow.
Here's a big day at the stadium.
A lot of bats waved around here tomorrow afternoon.
Here's a stretch by Bosman and the two two pitch to Callas.
Fastball is it foul.
Right back out of play.
Here's a two two pitch to Callas.
Breaking ball is too tight. Full count.
On deck.
Bosman just took a peek at him.
It's Bobby Mercer.
And you know he'd like to get Callasen out here rather than Faze Mercer.
With a base is loaded especially.
And there they go. The pitch to breaking ball is fouled straight back.
And the count still three balls to two struts.
Yankees lead this ball game one nothing.
We're in the last half of the fourth inning.
And a full count on Johnny Callas.
Runners will be moving again.
There they go. Three two pitches hit on the ground to mentor the first base when he gloves it easily.
And he will make the play himself for the third out.
Doesn't hit the ball hard but writes it's on.
But the Yankees in the fourth they picked up the one run.
On two hits.
There were no errors by the Rangers and a couple men will have to on base.
After four. The Yankees leads the Texas Rangers one to nothing.
Ladies and gentlemen in the center ring the one and only Terry Morris back with a great twin performance.
Terry Morris Ford and Mercury your double good auto dealer two great lines of cars to outstanding locations.
Morris Ford and Mercury.

See why everyone is excited. Terry Morris is back.
See Ford's newest twin dealer Morris or to Mercury one mile north of the Burd Hill traffic light on route 50 and Milton Avenue in downtown Bolston Spa.
Six feelings will lead off for the Rangers as we go into the top of the fifth Yankees.
This ball game one nothing. It picked up that run last inning on a double five Bernie Allen and a sacrifice fly by Horace Clark.
Remember this building sitting 615 against the Yankees. He's eight for 13.
Those eight hits include a home run and this right handed hitting catcher has three runs better than Yankees.
Yankees play him straight away as fine's ready for Steve Oday at Bumson deal is the first pitch and bounce the short can he charge it takes a good hop throws the Bloomberg and there's one away.
So billing first ball hitting bounces out six to three and there's one out here in the fifth.
The Rangers have only gotten one ball in the air to the outfield.
Toby Herald flight out to Mercer. The Rangers have two hits. Billings got an infield hit and Dave Nelson also saying.
This is Ted for these things on the first 15,000 straight back just under us and it's no balls in a strike.
The first four of the Chicago Boston game have been announced. It's Wilbur Wood against Ray Cole Wood looking for victory number 11.
One pitch to four is too tight also too high and it's one and one and LA at Chicago Chicago Cubs it'll be downing against Milt Tapas.
What's been doing as well this year is it last year. 120 ball games with the Dodgers last year.
This ball hit in the air and left field. White's under it draws a beat on it and holds it in for the second.
So four flies the white and left field and there are two out here in the fifth Yankees lead one nothing and the batter will be Larry Bissner.
Bissner has been up once he bounced the second. Why this year downing has won three ball games and lost two.
That's really hustle if he wants to win 20 this year. Bissner bats left hand. Client's ready for it and the pitch is too far outside.
The Giants are playing the Cardinals. It's Bryant for the Giants. Reggie Cleveland for the same little Cardinals.
Here's the one old pitch to bit. Fastball misses outside ball two. Two balls in those trucks.
Yankees ahead one nothing. Top of the fifth Yankees run one run on five hits. The Rangers no runs on two.
Blind bumps and deals a two oh pitch outside ball three really working bit their way. It's not found the play getting three pitches on deck is Lenny Randall.
Two outs and nobody on base. Three oh pitch is ball four walking.
That is the first walk given up by Klein. He has a strikeout and Lenny Randall is there.
Understand Randall team Arizona State lost to Southern Cal in the college World Series. So Cal beat him two games in a row and they are the champions.
And the second baseman for Clark. Back on the grass under and he has it for the third out. So Randall pops up the Clark and for the Rangers in the fifth no runs on no hits.
No errors as a walk in a man left on base after four to half. The Yankees one the Texas Rangers nothing.

Bosman deals the first pitch and gets the outside corner with a fastball Yankees ahead one nothing.
Now in double and a sacrifice by by Horace Clark sandwich in there was a key hit by Steve Plank. You want to get one on top of the center field.
Randall's back out there. Now he backs up three or four steps. Hundred and the little fella has it for the first time.
Roy White's then White's also one for two he doubled the ground rule double into the left field seats back to the third.
He also has a strikeout to go along with that.
Roy is now batting.

Takes outside.
Ronnie Bloomberg on deck.
Play white to pull.
Here's the one old pitch.
Swung on bounce foul outside of third.

The Yankee dug out there almost hit the cameras of WPIX.
So the count's all even one and one.
Bosman staring at fillings. Bikes aside. Here's the one one pitch to White.
Down in the dirt scooped up on one hop five fillings. Two and one.
Here's the two one pitch to Roy.
Outside ball three three balls in a strike.
It's that day tomorrow. Here's the stadium and also the Yankees will have an autograph session a couple hours before the game.
That'll start at noon in left field. There's section 38.
Tomorrow will be Munson, Mercer, Klein and Blassingame.
White swings on a three old pitch he doesn't get. Three and two. Three one pitch.
Swung over it and the count now is full. Three balls and two strikes.
Also tomorrow a couple of future Yankee pitchers. George Medich and Rick Earl. Earl from down here in Jersey.
With no batting practice.
Rich has won six ball games and lost three up in West Haven.
White fouls next pitch off and it's still three and two.
Hey that Earl's going to be some kind of pitch. He's a big fella. Has a good pass ball.
And his ERA at West Haven's under three. The other fellow Medich. He's a medical student.
He's won three ball games and lost none and he hasn't given up a run yet and earned run.
Don't pitch batting practice here tomorrow. Pay off pitch to White's foul outside of first.
You'll hear a lot of hitters complaining tomorrow.
Because these young kids come in here and the first thing they want to do is impress Jim Turner that they shouldn't be in West Haven.
They should be pitching here in Yankee Stadium. And they'll be throwing their best stuff at these major leaders.
And the guys who like the ball, Tony Ferrari throws batting practice. He just lobs it in for him.
White gets to be, he learns the ball in right field base hit in front of four.
So White's winging on a three-two pitch has picked up the Yankees six hit.
And that keeps their streak going. They've got at least one hit off a pass underneath any.
So Roy on it first. Let's see what Metscher will do. He'll still play behind you.
Which is not too...well it's a little dangerous with two...with the one out.
And the batter's Ronnie Bloomberg.
The Yankees lead this ball game one-nothin'. And Roy is now five for six.
Last six at bat. He has five hits. Not too bad as Boston Jackson.
Pitch to the boomer. Swung on. Popped up on the left side. It will fade into foul territory.
Nelson to the third baseman's under. Backs up now into the coaching box. And he has it for the second half.
So the boomer fouls to the third baseman Nelson. And here's Bernie Allen.
Allen 12 for 31 over the last nine games. Has a double to show for two trips.
And he scored the only run the Yankees have. In fact, the only run of the ball game.
Yankees lead one-nothin' as White takes his lead off at first.
Bernie now batting 283. Boseman comes seventh.
There goes White. The thrower first hasn't picked off. Throwed on his second by Mitter.
And Mitter tags him out as Hera gets the ball back to him.
Let's see. So White picked off at first for the third out. And that put out goes one to three, six to three.
They pitcher to the first baseman to the shortstop. Back to the first baseman.
Over the Yankees in the fifth, no runs on one hit. There were no errors and nobody left on base.
After five, the Yankees won the Texas Rangers nothing.

Well, the scooter is in Buffalo and taking its place here behind the mic right now is my good buddy, Frank Messon.
Okay Bill White, thank you very much. And Bill will be going down to the television booth as we go to the sixth inning here at Yankee Stadium.
Yankee's late in the ballgame, one to nothing.
So the hour leads off for the Rangers. Right hand hitting shortstop, squares to Barlin takes a pitch high, ball one.
Yankee's at one run six hits, Klein is allowed only two hits. Next pitch, cut out and fouled back. One ball to one strike.
Howard's hitting 241 after flying out the center field his first time at back.
Steve Klein, bends down to take the side for Munson right hand there, kicks and deals.
Kerbald has putted down the third baseline, picked up by Klein, throw the first base. No, he's safe.
Howard bumps himself on. Now the pitcher Dick Bosman will come up and they see another bun.
They have Bosman butting. His right hand batter bounce back to Klein his first time at back.
Lumberg will hold the runner on at first base, that's the third hit in the ballgame and the second infield hit.
Bosman is not what you would call a good hitting pitcher. Is that what you would call a hitting pitcher?
He's one for 20, squares to bar the pitches high and tight over his right shoulder, ball one.
There's the set, Allen in from third, here's the pitch. It is butted foul. Behind the plate, one more one strike.
I'll tell you, Bosman can handle the bun. He has eight sacrifices, over twice as many, nearly three times as many as the next closest man with three.
One one pitch to him. He bumps it down the first baseline, Klein chases the ball down, flips the clerk covering in time. Sacrifice one four moves Howard a second base.
So for the second time in the ballgame, only the Rangers have a runner as far as second. They got Nelson there in the fourth after he let off with a single. Moved up when Jones hit back to the pitcher Klein.
But then Steve Klein picked Nelson off at second base. Much to the chagrin of skipper Ted Williams, threw his hands up down the dugout, turned his back on the infield.
Maybe had a choice word of due to say. All right, first pitch here. Nelson takes, ball one high. Nelson has grounded out this short and single to left field.
There's a big stretch by Steve Klein, comes down to the set position, not turned to loose. Curveball has popped up near the plate. Thurmond Munson looking for it, throws the mask away now and foul territory he's got it.
And it's a three-dose baseline. In foul ground at the third baseline, Thurmond Munson retires Nelson, two outs. And it'll bring out the second baseman, Dawson Jones.
Jones left hand batter has grounded out and hit back to the mound. Yankees late in the ball game, wanted nothing. Rangers have a runner at second, two outs here in the top half of the sixth inning.
One strike pitch, fouled at the upper deck on the third base side. And almost caught by a young lady, but she lost the ball. There's a scramble for it. I hope she gets it back.
Ball hitter in a bad spot, in the hands. Oh two pitch, down low, one ball, two strikes.
Runner at second, two away, ball and two strikes now, and Dawson Jones, he's grounded out this short, as we told you, and hit back to five.
Don Minscher, foul-heading left hander is on deck. One two pitch, number foul up to the right side. Second game this afternoon, we'll have Mel Stubblemeyer pitching for the Yankees.
And left hander, Mike Paul, for the Texas Rangers. Just for curiosity's sake, Bill Cain, when was the last time you remember Mel Stubblemeyer pitching the second game with Double Headers?
When Wadi Ford was here, Bill said.
Volunteer strikes to Jones, once it had gone out to talk to Klein. Now the young right hander is ready. Kicks the leg and delivers, pitches it right back to him on one hot.
Klein's got it, goes over to first base, Jones is out and the start is retired.
Over the second time, Jones has hit back to the pitcher. Well, the Rangers no runs ahead, no errors, the man is left at the end of five and a half to score. The York one and Texas nothing.

This is the New York Yankee Baseball Network. We pause for station identification.
Firstly, send these guys to the Albany County Airport, 73 degrees. This is WGY and it's connected in New York. It's 230.
Bernie Allen will lead off the bottom half of the sixth inning. Bernie has hit safely in eight of his last nine ball games. Today is sacrifice, doubled and scored the games on the run. He takes down low ball one.
Bernie Allen is now hitting 283. He has 15 hits and 53 at bats. Five of them doubles.
Next pitch, curve is outside from Bartlett, ball two. In his last nine games, Bernie Allen has gone 12 for 31. That figures out to a 387 clip. He's had a hot bat.
They stopped his inning streak night before last, but he had two sacrifice flies in that game. This one well hit the right field. Four is over to the corner. Can I get it? It's in for the base hit.
Four plays the ball on one half and Bernie Allen has his second hit of this ball game as he pulls a line drive to the right field corner.
That is the Yankees' seventh inning game and it brings up Thurman Munson. Bernie Allen will a single to go with a double and a sacrifice. He has been a big man on attack today for the Yankees.
First pitch will be coming to Thurman Munson. Here it is, down low with a breaking ball, ball one.
Here he will be right with the charge on the organ there. It reminds me of former Yankee stadium organist Eddie Layton is here the first time he's been out to a ball game since he stopped playing the stadium organ.
They had a C form in the VIP section, but where did he go to set? You guessed it. Down by the organist. There's a ball at the shut-stop. Allen was going no double play. The throw to first Munson is out.
Allen throws out Munson. As Allen broke with the pitch, there was no chance to get Allen at second base. The pitching coach Sid Hudson comes out now.
There's something to say to Bosman, perhaps about Jerry Kenny, who hit the ball well in the left field his last time up. It was caught by Bittner, but it was a line drive.
The Chicago White Sox had broken on top of Boston three to nothing at the end of one inning on a three-round homer by Belton Bill Milton, his seventh home run of the year.
All right, Kenny will step in now as Hudson goes back to the dugout. Kenny has walked in line to left. Yankees leading one-nothing.
Now, trying to hold Allen on a second base, and a curve ball has the plate but low. Ball one. Steve Klein is on deck.
As the sat here is the pitch by Bosman, fastball that sliced foul to the upper deck, down the left field line.
One-on-one, God. Allen leads away again. Bosman looks at him, now deals the plate, breaking ball low on inside. Two balls in one strike to Jerry Kenny.
You aren't with us, the Yankees scored in the fourth. Allen led off with a double off the auxiliary scoreboard in right center.
Hudson walked. Kenny lined out. Klein single to load the bases, and Hans Clark brought the run in with a fly ball to center.
Two ball, one strike pitch. Here it comes. Curve ball is lined back up the middle base in the center field. Allen has started back to second thinking the ball might be caught.
Now goes to third, and the Yankees have runners at the corners. Bernie Allen has stopped and started back towards second thinking that's all he had.
Well, the Hara might be able to catch Allen, but it was beyond his reach. Allen gets only to third. Basin number eight for the Yankees, and it brings up pitchers Steve Klein.
Klein is lined to the second baseman and single to left field. Hara, the shortstop, and Dalton Jones, the second baseman, set their side.
A lot of meetings going on now. Billings goes out to the mound, and Nick Hauser comes down to Steve Klein.
Jerry Kenny at first base talking to coach Jim Turner. So we'll see what the strategy is.
Klein, basins he throws right handed his base hit back in the fourth inning was only his second hit of the year.
Now the first pitch coming to him. Here it is. Cut on and fouled off to the left side.
Rolled slowly over to the third base dugout. Strike line. Yankees lead one-nothing.
Both these teams have modest win streak. The Yankees have won two in a row, the Rangers three in a row, and the old one pitch will be coming.
Here it is. He cleans his eye and pops it down the first base line. No play at the play. Fixed up by Bosmer.
Got a first base shot by Dalton Jones. The run spurs. Everybody is safe.
Bosmer with the suicide on. The other debuts down the first base line. Good.
Over for an hour. Good over the first base where it was dropped by Dalton Jones covering for an hour.
And everybody is safe. The run is across the plate. The Yankees lead two-nothing.
It will be a sacrifice credited to Steve Klein. Also credit Klein with a run that it in.
And put Klein at first base on an error four. An error charge to the second baseman who dropped Bosman's throw.
The bot was actually popped up down the first base line but Bosman could not get through. Bosman is coming out of the ballgame now as Hudson is out to make a pitching change.
Sid Hudson the pitching coach. And the Yankees now lead by a score of two-nothing.
Left-hander Paul Lindblad comes on. The pitch for the Texas Rangers.
Lindblad left-hander is making his twenty-fourth appearance. Good gracious.
Lindblad is one-two. He is one-two. And Lindblad has six saves. Lindblad saves both Ranger wins down in Arlington, Texas.
Saving one for Bosman and one for Broberg. As he pitched six and two-thirds innings allowed only one run six hits.
Walked one and struck out two Yankees. One of the hits off of it was a home run by Rusty Thorrie.
Son has broken through here at Yankee Stadium finally after he's had a quality day. But as we saw it earlier, no thread of rain and it did not rain. Now the son is off.
You can still come out to see a lot of baseball. Mark Clark steps in with runners at first and second. One out. One run home.
Bernie Allen has scored both Yankee runs in the game. The pitch to Clark batting right-handed. Now he's in on the ground in the second base.
And Jones has it flipped to Hauer out at second back to first double play. So one pitch from Lindblad and the start is retired on a four-six-three double play.
But the Yankees score one run on two hits. There was one error and one man is left on base. At the end of sixth the score, Yankees two and the Rangers nothing.

All right, looking at the scoreboard, White Sox leads the Red Sox 3-0 in the afternoon and a half of a day night double letter that's Wilbur Wood against Ray Kulp, the three runs on a home run by Bill Milton. Later starts Cleveland at Oakland, Baltimore at Minnesota, Kansas City at Milwaukee where Paul Slydor goes against Bill Parsons.
Tonight, Detroit at California. In the National League, the Dodgers and the Cubs score at the end of one, outdowning against Milf Mappas. San Francisco nothing, St. Louis nothing at the end of one, Bryant against Reggie Cleveland.
Night games in the National League, the Mets at Cincinnati, Montreal and Atlanta, Philadelphia at Houston, and San Diego players at Pittsburgh.
Don Menscher will leave things off as we go out of the 7th inning. Menscher, the first baseman, left hand batter. Takes a breaking pitch, outside ball run. Menscher is hitting now 168, but even without anemic batting average, he leads this club and runs about it in with 26.
One-0 pitch, and on the ground, a first base. Played on two hops by Bloomberg, he'll take it by himself. Menscher is out.
Second dive, Menscher is grounded out to Bloomberg. Now to catcher, Dick Billings. Billings got an infield hit his first dive up. He's batting 279 and over 600 against the Yankees.
Billings beat out a ground ball down the third base line and the second inning, grounded out to Kenny at short and the fifth.
Here's the right hand batter, has a lot of face buzz. Mutton chops sideburns, mustache. In fact, the hair goes all the way around from one sideburn, comes down, joins the mustache, right across joins the other one.
Looks like he's right out of the game at it, he takes a ball outside. Death forward is on deck, the next pitch, down low. Two balls and no strikes.
And the next pitch, down, hit in the middle left field. Roy White is there though and makes the catch, that's all for Billings.
As is very often the case when flying pitches, 12 of the 20 outs have been on ground balls. That includes one double play.
Here's the ball to Ford, this is low ball one. There have been only three fly balls to the outfield, one pop up caught by Thurman Mutton.
One strike out, one man picked off. Wind up the next pitch to Ford, right hand batter, taking hide outside. Ford is batting 270.
Came in as the leading hitter on this club, has given that over now to Billings who is batting 275. Here ball in on the ground is third, played on one hop by, I don't know, but a first base low, but dug up by Bloomberg and the side is retired.
Three up three down, an easy inning for Clyde, nothing across from the Rangers and at the end of 6.5, the score, Yankees two and Texas, nothing.
On this, here we can play with the UC, here in his hand, you know who real on this beer drinker wants the real on this beer.
That's why we make Utica fun, there's nothing funny about Utica fun, it's a real on this beer.
There are no phony flavorings in UC, no phony surfs, no phony anything, Utica club, there's nothing phony about it.
That's the day at Yankee Stadium where all the young fans, 14 and under, accompanied by an adult, will get a free bat, gift of the Yankees.
Rusty Torres will bat for Johnny Kellison, last time Torres hit against Lynn Blatty in a home run over 400 feet down in Arlington, Texas.
First pitch to Rusty, foul back out of play, Torres the switch hitter is up there right handed, the right hand batter is hitting 185, left handed 213, overall 200.
Two of his three home runs have been right handed, he golped this one foul past Dick Hauser, the third base coach and a nice catch made by a youngster who got the ball on a nice little chest high hop down there in the box feet.
Had a baseball glove on, just put it away for souvenir. No ball, two strike pitch to Rusty, here comes a pie, one and two.
And the one two pitch, outside. You know tomorrow you'll not only get a bat here at Yankee Stadium, but if you get out here around noon, you can get Bobby Mercer's autograph, also Thurman Munson's, Steve Clyde's and Wade Blazingame's, they'll be autographing.
Out there in left field tomorrow at noon. Two two pitch, just missed the outside corner, Billings thought that was a strike.
Torres and the plate on fire, Lou DeMiro did not. Torres let it go and DeMiro says it's ball three, three and two.
The off pitch will be coming down to Rusty Torres, Limblatt turns it loose and it is popped up on the infield, in comes the second base from Dalton John, he's under it, and he makes the catch on the skin of the infield to retire Torres.
And now Bobby Mercer had a double his first time up, since then he has climbed to left and climbed to center. They're out, always reacts when Bobby moves in on the plate.
Roy White is on deck, one away. Left handed left handed, Yankee thought so it might better field, back goes Randall back near the wall, one handed on the track right in front of the 407 drive.
Mercer sends Randall back almost as far as he can go on the running track at the 407 marker to pull in his long drive. Two off.
The body will be Roy White. White has had five hits in his last six at bat. Two for three in this ball game, three for three, nine before last.
And the first pitch to him, second for a strike. That's a pitch coming, strike two calls, Limblatt nibbling at the outside corner and getting it, has White in the hole now and two.
Yankee is leading two nothing. The wind up the left handed delivers and White checks his swing in time, pitch was high and away. One ball and two strikes. They play Roy up the middle at the right hand hitter.
Outfield is spread and the pitch. Check his swing again and it's outside. Two balls, two strikes. Everything has been away from Roy. Two strikes just got the outside corner and now two balls and missed outside.
Let's see what Limblatt does now on two and two. He rocks and delivers and the pitch is swung on and missed. Strike three. White chased it across the plate and couldn't find it.
So Limblatt has retired four men in a row now. Yankee's got down and order at the end of seven innings. The score is New York two and Texas nothing.
Nothing.
The No-Bowl, the No-Bowl, the No-Bowl, it's an all new action for your machine. You're a man of action that can happen as the dynamite action has the meaning of No-Bowl.
What a feeling when you're out there in your machine and the road's wide open ahead. Answer the calls, the action.
The No-Bowl, the No-Bowl, it's an all new action for your machine. You're a man of action that can happen as the dynamite action has the meaning of No-Bowl.
Action. The No-Bowl makes it happen with a custom blending pump. It blends 260, the highest octane gasoline at any station, into every gallon of premium, little premium, even regular. That's 260 action and it can really turn your engine on.
On the slow-moard, Baltimore and Minnesota, no score at the end of two innings. Dobson against Blyland, the Orioles have won eight in a row.
Well, let's see, Chicago three Boston nothing at the end of two in the first game of a day night double hunter. Giants in the Cardinals' squad at the end of one and a half. Jose caught it out as it a two-round homer for the Cubs. They lead the Dodgers two nothing at the end of two.
And the rest of the game is not yet underway. Two changes for the Yankees, Rusty Torres in right field and Felipe Alou as at first base. Felipe Alou replacing Bloomberg at first.
Torres in right on another change. Harold Lanier has come on to play third, replacing Bernie Allen. First batter is Larry Bittner here in the eighth inning. Takes high on outside, ball one. Bittner is hitting 241.
Bittner is hitting 241.
And lined up by Clive the Fitch outside again ball two. Bittner is grounded out at walk. Came in at 244 and out down to 241.
Bill Cain off producer and superstatistician. Compiling the batting averages. Of course after each and that, keeps you right up to date on what the guys are hitting.
Bittner, big strong left hand batter, has not been up that many times.
Next pitch, foul the way to the left side. This guy is strong, I'm surprised he does not have a home run.
19 bases, three doubles, 16 singles. And the next pitch to him. One on and line to left center, it's going to be in for the base hit. Roy White gets to it on one half. And Bittner is on with a lead off single.
This is the fourth inning in which the Rangers have had the lead off man on.
It brings up the center fielder, Lenny Randall, the right hand batter. And Toby Harris out on deck.
Thurmond Muntzman out of the mound talking to Clyde. Lenny Randall is hitting 211. He was thrown out on a punt in front of the plate by Thurmond Muntzman leading off the third. Then he popped up to end the fifth inning. Two horse points.
Clyde takes the sign, starts the stretch, hands now below the belt. The kick and here's the pinch. Cut on, granted, a third. Lenny Randall has it go to Clark out at second. Back to first, double play.
Yankees turn over their second double play in the ball game, 5-4-3 around the horn. Yankees now have seven double plays in their last two ball games. Manager Ralph Hock was saying that the Yankees lead the American League in double plays.
Now, it's a little bit upset when people keep saying Yankees can't turn over the double play.
I read where he told somebody that he was pretty sure the Yankees led the league in DPs after the five and the ball game out here night before last.
First time the Yankees had five double plays in one ball game since September 18, 1965.
Donny Howard takes the strike. Howard's hitting 2.45 and a bunch single his last arm up after flying out to center field his first trip. The base is empty, two down. Lanier playing him tight to the line and tight to the bag at third.
The pitch. Kirtball foul back just off the facing of the upper deck goes back downstairs and bounces out of the field.
One ball two strikes now to 20-hour.
Next pitch going in the dirt, jog out by one-six.
Got even two and two, two outs, nobody out. Yankees leading two to nothing. We're in the top half of the eighth inning, first game of two.
Donald Meyer goes in the night gap against left-hander Mike Paul of the Rangers.
Two ball two strikes pitch. Now waiting here comes. Get on the ground, a short shot. Jerry Kenny digs it up, fires the first, he's out and the side is retired.
No runs, a base hit. No errors and with the double play, nobody left on. At the end of seven and a half, the score. The New York Yankees two and the Texas Rangers nothing.
This time you're heading home all hot and thirsty, simple, up that noisy summer street into the cool, quiet of a friendly tavern.
Now we've got your right where we want you, in the perfect place and with a perfect thirst for trying frosty cold, shaver beer.
Shaver please, come on up.
Your first one takes great, smooth and bright, but today one cold beer just isn't enough. So today you really appreciate the quality that makes shaver unique.
The wave shaver actually gives you first beer pleasure, first from two lads to lads.
You see we started practicing on more than one beer through before most breweries even started brewing and practice makes perfect.
The shaver is the one beer to have when you're happy more than one.
Well, it's not a little leaves off the bottom half of the eighth inning.
He's hitting 264, batting for the first time on the pitch soil.
Strike, what is called.
Bloomberg started at first with the right-hander, Bosman pitching, but now with Lindblad in there.
A little hat to take it over for Bloomberg at first and now bats for the first time.
Now more of a pitch, one-on-one.
That day tomorrow here at Yankee Stadium, two o'clock ball game with the Texas Rangers and every youngster 14 and under accompanied by an adult gets a free bat.
One-on-pitch, ball to his lower.
Mark Kegage will pitch for the Yankees tomorrow against Pete Groberg.
Groberg with five wins leads the Rangers' path.
Two-on-pitch, hit right back to Lindblad. He's got it in there, he had it.
Two is over to first base, the Lewis out.
Lindblad threw the glove up, then started looking around for the ball.
He thought he had knocked it down, but the ball was right there on the webbing of his glove.
Took him a second or two to realize he had it.
They just played a first base so in time, the Lewis out.
One down.
And here is Bernie, a rather pal, Lanier batting in the spot they get it by Bernie Allen.
Lanier will be up for his first time, it's been a hot spot in the batting order.
Allen was two for two with a sacrifice, a double and a single and scored both runs.
Lanier bounces the first one and fouls outside a third.
Lanier right hand batter, next pitch score from the left hander, swung out a missed right two.
Pal Lanier with a batting average of 182, he has six base hits all single, three runs but it is.
Yankees lead two-nothing, one out, you're in the eighth inning, next pitch.
Checked his swing, a foul tip and it's strike three.
Foul tip on a check swing, this is the New York Yankee baseball network we pause for station identification.
At the Albany County Airport, mostly sunny skies, 74 degrees.
One minute after three, WGY is connected in New York.
Brownman months in the batter.
Eastonard wants with a walk, sandwiched in between, ground balls for the shot shot.
Lindblad deals, months in swing, that looks one out of a second base and a set of field bases.
Once and big turn around first base, now comes back as Lenny Randall gets the ball back to the infield.
Once and gets the first hit off Lindblad and base hit number nine in the ball game for the Yankee.
The batter will be Jerry Kenny.
Kenny has walked, lined to left and singles.
Kenny started the game hitting 154, he's now up to 171.
And a pitch for Jerry, going outside, ball was hit.
Lindblad looks for the sign, ready to work now, left hander kicks and deals and pitch gets through the catcher,
billing, rolling towards the backstop, months and goes to second.
It'll be a pass ball, the pitch was a call of strike.
Billings must have been crossed up on it because the pitch was in the strike zone, called a strike but Billings could not handle it.
Went right through his hands and drew his legs and he'll be charged with a pass ball as months and moves to second.
From once and in scoring position, the count is a ball and a strike to Jerry Kenny.
Left hander Lindblad deals and Kenny takes a ball.
Still at one.
Both Yankee runs, charged to the starter Dick Boswell who worked five and a third in it.
Next pick to Jerry, bouncing ball past the mound, they're going to have to hurry to get it, he's digging hard, Harrod can not make a play.
Everybody is straight, months and a third and Kenny has an infield hit, his second hit in the ball game and that will be base hit number 10 for the Yankee.
Slow bouncer, once that ball got by the pitcher's mound, it's extremely doubtful that they'd have a play on this speedy Jerry Kenny.
Tell me how the truck stopped, got to the ball on the first base side of second, realized he did not have a play and wisely held on to it.
Always a chance of throwing it away in your haste and that would have let the run score.
So, months and a third, Kenny on it first base and Steve's flying with a chance to give himself a little insurance.
There goes Kenny on the first pitch, they make the throw to third instead and months and slides back into the bag.
So, stolen base for Kenny, building fire to third base and Munson who was not coming home, slid back in.
As they have thrown the struck it on Kenny, Munson might have come home.
So, stolen base of course for Jerry Kenny, got his one ball and those strikes on Steve's fly.
Next pitch to Steve, got on, bound to the third, taken there by the third base from Nelson, fires to venture it first, flying his out and scores the side.
So for the Yankees no run, two hits, there were no errors, two men and a half down base and at the end of eight, full inning to play.
The score, the New York Yankees two of the Texas Rangers nothing.
When you say back, you've said a lot of things nobody else can say.
When you say back, you say you're counting off, you only want some king of tears.
There is no other one, there is only something left, because the king of tears is leading over it.
When you say back, you've said it all.
The SS Hope is the most welcome ship in the world.
And no wonder, she has brought medical care and training to millions of people on four continents.
But Project Hope is more than a ship, it is land based program two and home and abroad.
Help Hope, help others, Project Hope, roommate, Washington, D.C.
Now we go to the ninth inning and they'll have a pinch-itter, Joe LaVito to bat for Paul Lindblatt.
LaVito is the left hand in it.
First pitch to him, track one goal, third ball of it. LaVito is batting 182.
This is his 100th at bat this year. He has 18 base hits.
18 for 99 as of the moment, one strike-pitch.
Now the curve on the ground is second base.
Clark has it, LaVito is 18 for 100, as Clark throws him out.
One down and Dave Nelson about it. One out, nobody on.
One down, nobody on.
One delivers to Nelson, breaking pitch for strikes.
Nelson is one for three, ground it is short.
Singles are left, he pops this one up in a shallow center. Bobby Mercer coming in, sets up under it.
And Mercer has it for the second out.
Two down and now Dolan Jones.
Jones has not had the ball out of the infield today, he's grounded out once for the shortstop and bounced twice back to the pitcher cry.
He's on a fan batter.
Bitch doing his low ball one.
One ball, no strikes.
Ryan again ready to work. Right at it, Kixon Deals, pitches, pops up, bounce out a third.
LaNear may have a play over to the seats he goes, it is in the seats, he cannot reach it.
One ball, one strike.
One ball, one strike on Dolan Jones.
Flying to the windup, right under Deals, Jones winds it down, let's see a line, it is fading a foul ball.
One more, two strikes.
Two out, nobody out, a one two pitch coming down to Dolan Jones.
Find winds and delivers, Jones winds this one to Sutter, it's going to be in for the base hit.
Bobby Mercer surrounds it, gets it back to the infield and the Rangers are still alive as Dolan Jones gets the fifth Ranger hit in the ball again.
Ralph Harp will go to the mound at a tough left-hander.
Don Minscher coming up and I'm sure there's a tough left-hander throwing out in the Yankee bullpen just in case and I'm talking about Sparky Lyles.
We'll see what Ralph decides, he decides to stick with Steve Plein.
Steve Plein.
Although Minscher is hitting but 167, he leads this team and runs better than with 26.
He also has five home runs.
Plein delivers, Minscher fouls it off, strike one.
Yankee is leading, good or nothing.
Steve Plein trying to get the last out in the ball game.
Takes the time from Thurman Munson and the pitch.
Lyne drives, knocked down on one half by Clark, he's up with it, spins, throws the first seed out and the ball game is over.
A well-hit ball but played by Harp's court to get Minscher for the final out.
In the ninth inning no runs, a hit, no errors, a man left.
I'll be back in one minute with a total time to recap the final score of the New York Yankees 2 on the Texas Rangers Nothing.
