Game 1 of the 1962 Major League Baseball All-Star Game took place on July 10, 1962.
For a few years beginning in 1959, Major League Baseball held two All-Star games during the summer, a couple weeks apart.
The National League was managed by Fred Hutchinson of the Cincinnati Reds, who had won the pennant in 1961.
Hutchinson would send the Dodgers' Don Drysdale to the mound, who had amassed a 15-4 record going into the break.
The American League was managed by the Yankees' Ralph Houch, who had won the World Series over the Reds in 1961, his first year as skipper in New York.
He would send the Detroit Tigers' Jim Bunning to the mound to face the powerful National League lineup.
This audio recording is from the NBC Radio broadcast featuring announcers Lindsey Nelson and John McLean.
Good afternoon baseball fans, this is John McLean with Lindsey Nelson welcoming you to the District of Columbia Stadium in Washington, D.C., and the first All-Star Baseball game.
Brought to you by the Gillette Safety Razor Company, maker of the new Gillette adjustable razor,

The capacity crowd at beautiful D.C. Stadium in Washington is awaiting the arrival of President John F. Kennedy.
Here in Washington today, the nation's capital, you couldn't ask for a finer day for this first All-Star game of 1962.
The temperature at noon a little over 45 minutes ago was a comfortable 78 degrees.
There isn't a cloud in the sky. There's a little bit of a refreshing breeze blowing from the right field corner toward home plate.
The fans at D.C. Stadium are so high that not too much air gets down onto the field at play.
So with the temperature at 78 degrees, the wind is west northwest 9 miles per hour and the humidity a very comfortable 41 percent.
The capacity crowd, which has been a set off for weeks and will reach 45,015 the official listed capacity seating of D.C. Stadium,
all standing now as we said, awaiting the arrival of President Kennedy.
In the meantime, the two squads are being introduced over the public address system. That is the voice you hear in the background.
The manager Fred Hutchinson of the National League and the defense manager of the New York Mets, Charles Dillon Casey Stengel.
There won't be many greater ovations today than that accorded to Mr. Casey Stengel, the manager of the New York Mets.
As the players are being introduced, we'll give you the starting lineup for this afternoon's game.
Since we are in D.C. Stadium, the home of the Washington Senators, the American League squad is the home team and will occupy the dugout off the first baseball line.
The National League, the visiting squad, will bat first and occupy the dugout off the third base line.
For the National League today, leading off and playing at shortstop is Dick Groat, Groat of the Pittsburgh Pirates playing shortstop.
Batting second and playing in right field, Roberto Clemente. Clemente in right field, also of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Batting third, playing in center field, from the San Francisco Giants, Willie Mays. Mays in center field.
Batting fourth, also from the San Francisco Giants, first baseman Orlando Sofeda. Sofeda at first base.
Batting fifth and in left field, from the Los Angeles Dodgers, Connie Davis. Tom Davis, left field.
Hitting sixth and at third base is Ken Boyer of the St. Louis Cardinals. Boyer at third base.
Hitting seventh and catching, Joe Trangle of the Milwaukee Braves.
Trangle catching and batting seventh. That ovation, in case you're in doubt, was for Lawrence Bond, the winningest active major league pitcher, who was just introduced.
The number eight hitter for the National League is second baseman Billy Mazuratsky of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Mazuratsky at second base hitting eighth. Fishing and batting ninth is the side-arming right-hander of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Don Drysdale.
Who has won 15 games and lost only four. Drysdale brings the most wins into an all-star game of any National League pitcher in the history of this game.
Only two other pitchers, both American Lakers, Bob Seller, the Cleveland Indians, and Whitey Ford, the New York Jackies, have brought more victories into this game.
He's had 16 and there is Sam the Man Mugell being introduced.
The great veteran Sam Mugell of the St. Louis Cardinals drawing a tremendous ovation from the crowd at BC Stadium.
Now the starting lineup for the American League All-Stars. Leading off and playing at third base, the sensational rookie of the Minnesota Twins, Rich Rollins.
Rollins at third base. Batting second and playing second base from the Los Angeles Angels, Billy Moran. Moran at second base.
Hitting third and playing in center field is Roger Maris of the Yankees. Maris in center field.
Batting fourth and playing in right field from the New York Yankees is Vicki Matto. Matto playing right field.
Batting fourth and at first base from the Baltimore Orioles, Jim Peele. Jim Peele at first base.
Hitting sixth from the Los Angeles Angels, the left fielder Leon Whitener. What he made to Shelfton introduced.
Draws a tremendous hand. The number seven hitter for the American League from the Minnesota Twins, catcher Earl Batty.
Batty the catcher. Hitting eighth, playing at shortstop from the Chicago White Sox, Luis Aparicio. Aparicio at shortstop.
Fishing and batting ninth from the Detroit Tigers, right-hander Jim Funnings with a record of nine wins and four defeats.
Draw your starting batteries for this All-Star game. For the National League, Don Drysdale pitching,
Al Crandall catching. For the American League, Jim Funnings pitching, Earl Batty is the catcher.
This All-Star baseball game is being brought to you from District of Columbia Stadium in Washington, D.C.
Don Drysdale, the National League starter, beginning to warm up. Say, Lindsay, haven't you got a tape you made with Don?
Yes, Don, and here it is.
I know you're an adjustable razor user, Don, but have you tried Gillette's newest, the Slim Adjustable?
Matter of fact, Lindsay, I bought one in the clubhouse the other day. You know it handles even better than the old one.
I'll get one of my own.
Like Don, men everywhere are switching to the new Slim Adjustable razor, and why don't you try it?
You'll find it streamlined from head to handle with a summer compact design. It's longer and lighter,
slimmer too for hard to shave areas like around the lips and under the nose.
The new Slim is the very first adjustable razor at a low, low price of only $1.50.
It's got Gillette's exclusive micrometer dial with nine different settings.
You'll pick the one that's just right for your combination of skin and beard.
With the Slim, you get a supply of easy-shaving Gillette's Super Blue Blade.
A new experience in shaving comfort you shouldn't miss.
See the new Gillette's Slim Adjustable razor at the low, low price of only $1.50 on display at a store near you.
Now once again, John McClane.
The American League All-Stars are being introduced.
Manager Ralph Popp is coach's early hip-stuck, while the Orioles and Mickey Vernon, the manager of the Washington Senators.
It will be very difficult to say who drew the greatest amount of applause when the National Leaguers were introduced,
but I guess you'd have to say it was a draw.
Casey Singles, Willie Mays, Warren Spahn, and Sam Musial all drew tremendous ovations from the capacity crowd at D.C. Stadium in Washington.
The umpires for this afternoon's game, and unlike the days when one All-Star game was played,
when they used to change the umpires around, rotate them at the end of four and one happenings,
now that they're playing two All-Star games, the umpires will remain at their starting positions throughout the game.
And they will be, back to the plate, Ed Hurley of the American League.
At first base, Augie Donatelli of the National League.
At second base, Bob Stewart of the American League.
At third base, Tommy Benson of the National League.
And along the foul line, it will be Al Foreman of the National League, stationed along the right field line,
and Harry Schwartz of the American League, will be stationed along the left field line.
And in the event of injury or illness to one of the working umpires,
now signer of the National League is a standby umpire at this All-Star game.
With Carmel on the field, before the ball game, in company with Augie Donatelli, Ed Hurley, Harry Schwartz, and Tony Benson.
The American League All-Stars are being introduced.
And while they are being introduced, it will give us an opportunity to catch you up to date on this huge, federally built D.C. stadium in Washington.
It's a structure which is combined for baseball and football, and has an unusual feature,
in that there is no lower deck of stands, no leacher seats as such, in the outfield.
There's a double deck from the right field corner, completely around to the left field corner,
and then only a top deck or a single deck from the foul line to foul line.
And in between, from the left field foul corner, is a huge, high, brownish colored wall,
and along that is a track, like a railroad track, and the stands, the lower stands, just at the front edge of the visiting dugout at third base,
around to the center field area where the green batter's background begins.
This entire stand can be pulled around by a half track or a tractor, some sort of mechanism,
so that they become the sideline seats for football. Then straight away in center field is the green batter's background,
and just to the right of straight away center field is what is billed here in Washington as the world's longest scoreboard.
It's 102 feet long, extending from the just to the right of straight away center, over to the right field foul line.
And first, we won't have to worry about scores of other games. This is the game today, the all-star game at DC Stadium,
Mickey Meadows of the New York Yankees, being introduced and drawing a tremendous roar from the crowd.
The two pitchers, seemingly oblivious to it all, along the first base side, Jim Bunning, the side armor from the Detroit Tigers,
has been one of the American League's most effective pitchers in all-star game competition. And along the third base side is Don Drysdale,
who with 15 wins in all-star game time, with luck and continued good pitching,
and with the great hitting of his Dodger ball club, could become the first 30-game winner in the National League since the Disney team did it back in 1934.
The American League has not had a 30-game winner since the left-hander Bob Moe's Grove, the Philadelphia Athletics in 1930, when he won 31 and lost only 4.
The foul line distance is at DC Stadium, 335 feet to left and right field. To almost straightaway right field is 378 feet.
Straightaway center, the deepest spot in the ballpark, is 410 feet. To slightly left center, 381 feet, and as we said at the line, 335 feet.
President John F. Kennedy is making his appearance to the playing of ruffles and flourishes by the band stationed in Sharp Center Field,
a presidential party, moving now into the box. And this, to my knowledge, is the first time that a president of the United States has ever attended an all-star game.
There was one played previously in Washington in 1956 at Old Griffith Stadium, and Mr. Kennedy, and also an all-star game played here in Washington in 1937 and 1956,
also at the Old Griffith Stadium, which is soon to be dismantled. The sad portion, much of it, of this new DC Stadium was that which was dug up and transported from the Old Griffith Stadium.
Beautiful ballpark, and at this moment, the speaker of the House, Mr. John McCormick of Massachusetts, is meeting Stan Musial. Commissioner Frick is introducing Stan to President Kennedy.
They are exchanging pleasantries at the moment, and very shortly it will be play ball at DC Stadium before again, back up.
The president throws out the first ball to catcher Earl Batty of the American League All-Stars.
It's begun the custom the last few years for the president to make two tosses on opening day.
Whether or not he's going to throw another one here, we don't know. He lost the ball to Earl Batty, the catcher.
Earl has gotten into the box to shake hands with President Kennedy, and apparently Mr. Kennedy is going to blot up his right arm again.
And Earl Batty offers the ball to the president, gives it to Frank Slocum, assistance to Commissioner Frick, and presumably that baseball, too, will find its way to the trophy room that Mr. Kennedy has won.
At the White House as a memento and a souvenir of his appearance at the 1962 All-Star Game in Washington.
Beautiful, beautiful day. You couldn't have asked for finer weather than we have in Washington today to watch the stars in action.
As the gates were open here at 10 o'clock this morning, lines were formed long before that time so that they could get in the seats
and watch these great stars of both leagues participate in batting practice.
And the biggest oohs and ahs from the early gathering crowd reserved for Willie Mays who get at least a half dozen shots into the top deck in left field.
It's only been done three times during regular season play at DC Stadium.
The American League All-Star squad is taking the field. The bullpen crew for the American League squad will go down to left field.
Both bullpens are back to back. The American League bullpen or the bullpen of the home squad is out behind the wire fence, which forms the off-field barrier at DC Stadium.
And the National League bullpen will be in left center field. Photographers are still taking their pictures as the president is being implored again to pose for just one more.
Now we're about ready to start this All-Star Game. So it's a great pleasure for me to introduce my working partner today.
The man whose voice is known to millions as the broadcaster of the New York Mets, the National League, Lindsay Nelson. Lindsay?
Thanks very much, John McLennan. Thanks for a very fine job of setting up the color of one of the most colorful of all the athletic spectacles, the All-Star Game here in Washington, D.C.
This is the 32nd All-Star Game. The first one was played in 1933 at Comiskey Park in Chicago. Up to right now the American League has won 16 games.
The National League has won 14. There has been one tie. Now stepping into the ladder box, the lead off for the National League, the field captain and shortstop of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Dick Groat.
Dick Groat is a right-hand batter, wears number 24 on his back, called double dozen by Pittsburgh followers. This is his first start in an All-Star Game.
He says it ranks high on his list of personal thrills. In 1960, of course, Groat captained the Pittsburgh Pirates to the World Championship.
In 60, he was the most valuable player in the National League, and that same year he led the National League in batting with an average of 325.
Jim Bunning, looking in for a sign, has it now. And here comes the first pitch of the All-Star Game. It's the curve ball that is missing high for ball one.
And the game is underway here under perfect weather conditions in Washington, D.C. Temperature is 78 degrees, humidity 41 percent.
Catch your old batty going out to get checked out on signs with Jim Bunning.
Bunning brings into this ball game a record in the American League this season of nine victories and four losses.
Time is being called for the moment while the bullpen crew of the National League goes around the outfield warning path out to the bullpen area.
So play has been suspended for this moment.
Dick Groat standing still in the batter's box, swinging the bat loosely.
Groat's batting average last season dropped off an even 50 points from 325 to 275.
However, this is a comeback year for Groat. He is batting 320 in National League play thus far this season.
He's still looking for his first All-Star hit. He played in both games in 1959 and in 1960, but he had only two at-bats in the four games.
Did not start either of the games. Here is a pitch fastball inside and low. It's ball two, two and 0 to Dick Groat.
Dick Groat never played a single day of minor league baseball. He came off the campus of Duke University directly to the major leagues.
That's a fastball in there for a call strike. It's two and one.
Groat also was an All-American basketball player at Duke University. He is 31 years of age.
One of the finer bat manipulators in the game is a swing in the ground by the shortstop.
Luis Afericio is up with it, plays across to Gentile in time. Groat has grounded out from short to first.
He's a little bit away and that will bring up Roberto Clemente, the right fielder of the Pittsburgh Tarot.
This season in the National League Clemente is batting 342. He has eight home runs.
Clemente was the batting champion of the National League last season when he hit 351 over the course of the season.
Originally he was the property of the Brooklyn Dodgers, but drafted by Pittsburgh from the Dodger farm at Montreal.
Check swing, but he took it too far enough for the strike. He stands deep in the batter's box to Roberto Clemente.
The strike zone is anything he can reach with the bat.
Slow curve ball, swing out and miss, or a strike two, and you hear the gasp of the crowd as Clemente turns
and asks for the rosin bag to be flipped out to him from the area of the on deck circle.
Dusts his hands and now comes back.
Jim Bunning, chosen by manager Ralph Hulk of the American League All-Stars because he is reputed to be extremely rough on right hand batters.
Here's a swing and a drive into right field for a base hit down the right field line.
Coming over is Mickey Mantle up with it and Clemente is down to 22nd to 32nd and he's fighting it safely with a double.
The third base Clemente with a double lined down into the right field corner.
Mickey Mantle playing right field came over to field the ball and played it to second but simply not in time.
Clemente, base hit of the game four, National League All-Stars a double to right and here comes Willie Mays.
Willie Mays right hand batter hitting 304 this season.
There are no left hand batters in the National League starting lineup.
Bunning is into the stretch now as Clemente leads at second base and here is the pitch in there for Carl Strykes.
Curve ball inside and Willie turned out of there a little bit.
Jim Bunning says that he likes to use a tight pitch on batters who are known not to like it
and is apt to pitch more inside to that type batter.
That pitch is outside football.
One and one.
In his second year in the Major League in 1956, his first full season with the Detroit Tigers, Bunning won 20 games and lost eight.
A pitch to Willie Mays, swung on and foul back and out of play. One ball and two strikes to Mays.
Willie came to the Major Leagues when he was 19 coming to the New York Giants from Minneapolis.
He is now 31 years of age.
He has a very excellent all-star batting average. In all-star competition he has hit 425.
Willie has made the All-Star squad every year since his first full season with the Giants in 1954.
He's a little tight inside. It's 2-2.
Willie Mays has the record for the most runs scored in an all-star competition, 13.
Last year he broke the record which had been previously held by Stan Musial.
Roberto Clemente is at second base.
There is one man out here in the top half of the first inning.
Bunning with the pitch, cut on and drove foul just outside the bag at third and on down the line.
Two and two the count to Willie Mays as he expects the bat.
It appears to be cracked and he is asking that the bat boy bring him out another one.
Orlando Cepeda starts up to offer him one. However, he doesn't want that one.
Now a bat comes out of the National League dugout and Cepeda relays it on up to Willie Mays.
Willie steps back in with that familiar wide stance.
Jim Bunning on the mound, 6 feet 3 inches tall, 195 pounder.
Bunning is 30 years of age, lives at Fort Thomas, Kentucky.
Here's a 2-2 pitch. It's high and it's out full to Willie Mays.
Three and two.
Bunning was the winning pitcher in the 1957 All-Star Game.
He led the American League in strikeouts in 1959 and in 1960.
It was a sidearm delivery, not unlike that of his opposite number today, Don Drysdale.
Payout pitch, curve ball, cut on and pull foul.
Johnny Keene in the coaching box at third, fields it and fires it right on back out to the mound to Jim Bunning.
Coaching at third base, Johnny Keene.
And coaching at first base for the National League All-Stars, Casey Stengel, the manager of the New York Mets.
Casey on the lines at first base for the first time since he managed the Boston Braves.
Here's a payout pitch to Mays, swung on and popped up in foul territory, back of the bag at first.
Big Jim Gentile is there. He makes the catch. He's out no advance by Clemente at second base.
So Willie Mays has fouled out to first. Two men out are running around and Orlando Cepeda is coming up.
Cepeda batting 309 this season for the San Francisco Giants, has 18 home runs.
In Cepeda's first season in the National League, 1958, he was rookie of the year.
He was almost a unanimous choice for first base on this National League starting lineup.
He was the starting left fielder in both All-Star games last year.
Cepeda also was the National League home run champion last year when he hit 46.
And he has drawn the cleanup slot in the National League All-Star batting order,
although he does not always bat cleanup for his own Giants.
Here's a pitch outside for ball.
Cepeda's manager, Alvin Dark, of the Giants is in the crowd here this afternoon,
and are most of the managers and general managers of the major leagues.
Again Jim Bunning has the sign and the pitch is on the way. It's high and tight.
Two balls and no strikes to Orlando Cepeda.
Jim Bunning last pitch last Friday against Baltimore when he won his ninth game of the season.
He's set to work. There's a swing and a miss.
Two and one as Orlando Cepeda took a rip at the 2-0 pitch.
No score in the ballgame here in the top half of the first inning.
Sign on the Magic Message board out in right field says, welcome Mr. President.
John F. Kennedy is located on the American League side behind the American League dugout.
There's a pitch cut on. He handles it right up over the plate in foul territory.
Earl Batty is there. Makes the catch for the out.
He retires the side. He did right on the handle and pops it up just over the plate in foul territory.
So Cepeda has fouled out to the catcher in the top half of the first inning.
The National League got no runs, one hit, no errors and one left.
And so at the middle of the first inning the score is the National League nothing,
the American League nothing, Earl Batty making the catch there on that foul pop.
You know, Earl can really puff up those pitchers.
Don't know exactly what he says to them, but I do know what he said to Kurt Gowdy the other day.
Let's hear it Mr. Engineer.
I see you've got one of Gillette's new slim adjustable razors there Earl.
What blade are you using?
Are you kidding? As far as I'm concerned, there isn't any other kind but the super blue blade.
Earl's not alone by a long shot.
Since their introduction just two and a half short years ago, Gillette's super blues have become the most popular razor blades in the free world by a wide, wide margin.
Men and women by the millions agree they've never before experienced such shaving comfort.
All but insetable. These amazingly keen, smooth edges are a real scientific breakthrough.
The product of a special engineering process that's exclusively Gillette's.
And they're double edged for extra convenience and economy.
Pick up a dispenser of Gillette's super blue blades at a store near you.
Ten blades for 69 cents, 15 for a dollar.
Or get a supply with the new Gillette's slim adjustable razor at the low, low price of only a dollar fifty complete.
The blade, the blade, the blade, Rich Rolland.
Going now to the bottom half of the first inning and the leadoff man for the American League All-Stars is rookie third baseman Rich Rolland.
Rich Rolland's coming into the ball game today with a season's batting average of 318.
That includes 12 home runs from the Minnesota Twins.
Don Drysdale's first pitch misses outside for ball one.
Rich Rolland crowds the plate, stands up there just about as close as the law allows.
He's known as a pool hitter.
He's inspired in there for a call strike. Don Drysdale with a season's record of 15 victories and 4 losses on the mound for the National Leaguers.
His 15, the most victories ever brought into an All-Star game by a National League pitcher.
Swing and a foul ball coming back out of play.
One and two, the count to Rich Rolland. He is one of only two, three hundred hitters in this starting lineup for the American League.
Mickey Mantle is the other. Rolland is 24 years of age.
And he is hit by a pitch ball.
Peer ball coming in close and Nick Bimmi goes on down to first base and becomes the American League's first base runner.
With nobody out now, Billy Moran, the second baseman of the Los Angeles Angels is coming up.
Batting 287 this season with 11 home runs.
Moran is one of the big reasons for the Angels' lofty perch in the American League standings.
He was previously up with the Cleveland Indians but played all of the 1960 season and part of last season at Toronto.
Here's a pitch tight. It's ball one.
Moran is 28 years of age.
Don Drysdale, the winningest pitcher in the Major Leagues at present.
Here's a swing and a drive into right field.
Roberto Clemente comes over and hauls it down for the out.
Halfway on the drive to right, Rich Rolland goes back to the bag at first.
No advance.
One away and Roger Maris is coming up, the center fielder.
The American League All-Star is nothing and the National League All-Star is nothing here in the bottom half of the first inning.
Roger Maris, left-hand batter, who wrote his name indelibly into the record books last year when he hit 61 home runs.
That pitch is outside for a ball.
Maris is playing center field today and Mantle is playing right field with the permission of the Commissioner of Baseball as a concession to manager Ralph Hough of the American League All-Stars.
Here's a pitch to Maris.
It is low for a ball, 2-0.
Maris was voted onto the team as a right fielder and Mantle was voted on as a center fielder but as of late when Mantle has been out with ailing legs.
When Hough is brought him back to the lineup, he has played him in right field.
And so he is allowed to play him that way in the All-Star game.
Here's a swing and a foul tip.
It's 2-1 to Roger Maris.
He has 21 home runs thus far this season.
Batting average of 249.
Roger Maris for the past two seasons has been named the most valuable player in the American League.
Drysdale's pitch went on and fouled off into the stands and out of play, back of the bag at third.
Kenny Boyer gives it a run over.
So the count is 2-2 now to Roger Maris.
Defensively around the infield, the National League All-Stars have Orlando Cepeda at first base, Bill Masurowski at second,
Dick Groat at short and Kenny Boyer at third.
Tommy Davis is in left field, Willie Mays in center field, Roberto Clemente in right field,
Dale Crandall the catcher, Don Drysdale the pitcher.
Here's a swing and a miss. He struck him out on an inside pitch.
So that is the first strikeout for Don Drysdale and we'll bring up Mickey Mantle.
Mickey Mantle is a switch hitter with a batting average for the season of 333.
Batting left handed here of course and here's a swing and a miss for strike one.
Mantle has 17 home runs this season.
Playing right field as he has been doing with the Yankees to take some of the strain off his ailing legs with less territory to cover out in right.
Violent leads at first, the pitch is in there for Carl Strike two to Mickey Mantle.
He is the all-star veteran of this squad having started every all-star game since 1953 with the exception of the first game in 59.
He has twice been the most valuable player in the American League.
He has led the American League in home runs four times.
In over 11 previous seasons he's averaged 34 home runs a year.
There's a swing and a miss. He struck him out.
He's got it up and picked it up and tagged Mantle as he stands there. So Drysdale gets two strikeouts here.
And in the bottom half of the first inning the American League got no runs on, no hits, no errors and one left.
And so at the end of the first inning the score is the National League nothing and the American League nothing.
Thousands of fans at this historic all-star game today are keeping their own scorecards so they can relive every thrill in the days to come.
Just imagine running out of ink in the middle of a big inning. You'd really be out of luck.
But not with a famous Papermate Piggyback pen.
Because the Piggyback pen carries its own spare refill.
When you run out of ink you simply unscrew the cap, reverse the sections inside and in seconds you're ready to write again.
You see the Piggyback pen has two points, two ink supplies, a Papermate exclusive.
You never have to worry about running out of ink.
Like all Papermate pens the Piggyback positively won't skip. It even writes over butter.
And it's unconditionally guaranteed to perform or we replace it free.
So don't take a chance on running out of ink at a ball game or anywhere.
Get the world's only pen with a built-in spare refill, the Papermate Piggyback.
Get a Papermate Piggyback in mixed or matched color combinations only at $1.69.
Now to the top half of the second, Tommy Davis standing in and the first pitch to him is low for ball one.
The left fielder of the Los Angeles Dodgers with a season's batting average of 353 and 15 home runs.
Right hand batter.
Here's a swing and a foul ball coming back.
Out of play and it's one and one.
Tommy Davis leads the National League and the Major Leagues in batting with a mark of 353.
Swings and sends a fly ball into center.
Roger Maris has it lined up and makes the catch for the out.
So Tommy Davis has flied to center in his first time up and brings up the third baseman of the St. Louis Cardinals, Ken Boyer.
American League nothing, National League nothing.
Boyer has a season's batting average of 293 with 15 home runs.
This is the fifth season that Kenny has been on the All-Star squad and he owns an All-Star batting average of 455.
Some men perform well in All-Star games and some do not.
Boyer apparently does. There's a pitch low for ball one.
Jim Bunning of the Detroit Tigers looking in for a sign has it now.
Pitch is in there for a Carl strike fastball. Bunning is the father of six children.
He pitched a no hitter against the Boston Red Sox in 1958.
Here's a curve ball. I'm in low and it is two and one.
To win this starting assignment today at third base, Kenny Boyer had to beat out such a star third baseman as Jim Davenport of the Giants,
D. Matthews of the Braves, Don Hoak of the Pirates.
Here's a swing and a foul ball backing out of play.
Boyer's best season in the majors was last year when he hit 329, third highest in the National League.
He has the highest lifetime batting average among the veteran active third baseman in baseball.
Bunning takes a moment to remove his cap and mop his brow.
One man out, nobody on base for the National League All-Stars.
And the 2-2 pitch is coming in. Curve ball off the outside corner. It's full at three and two.
Del Crandall kneeling in the on deck circle for the National League.
Defensively the American League has Jim Gentile at first, Billy Moran at second,
Luis Aparicio at short and Rich Rolent at third, Leon Wagner in left, Marison Center, Mandel in right.
There's a swing and a miss. Strike three. Strike him out.
That is the first strike out for Jim Bunning as he gets Ken Boyer swinging.
Two away, nobody on and catcher Del Crandall of the Milwaukee Braves is coming up.
Crandall in a comeback year, hitting 291. That's three home runs.
He missed practically all of last season with an arm ailment.
Played in only 15 games last year. The year before he hit 294, his top major league season.
The veteran Del Crandall, he was barely 20 years of age when he came to the majors
of Boston Braves in 1949. Now he is 32 years of age.
Bunning with the pitch to the right hand batter, low and away for ball one.
No score in this ball game in the top half of the second, the 32nd annual all-star game.
The 32nd annual all-star game.
Bunning's pitch misses outside for ball. It's two and oh.
This is the third all-star game to be played in Washington. It was played here in 1937
and again in 1956. Previously, the American League won one and the National League won one
in the nation's capital.
Pitch is low and away.
Ball three to Crandall so he looks down to Johnny Keene, coaching at third to get a sign
to see what he's doing here on three and oh. Whether he is taking or if he is free to swing away.
Three oh pitch is right down the pike. He was taking all the way at the call strike three and one.
National League managed by Fred Hutchinson of the Cincinnati Reds and the American League managed
by Ralph Halk of the New York Yankees.
Three one pitch, swung on and foul back out of the screen. Out of play, it's full at three and two
with two men out.
You may recall that last year at San Francisco in the all-star game, Warren Spahn started to the
National League and pitched three perfect innings, retiring nine straight batters.
Spahn is on the squad this season.
Three one pitch, cut out and foul back out of the screen and out of play.
There were two last minute changes in the squads.
Henry Aaron sliding into second base at Chicago last Friday injured his right leg and was removed from the
squad replaced by Warren Spahn of the Milwaukee Braves.
And Hoyt Wilhelm came up with a sore arm and was replaced by Milt Pappas, both pitchers of the Baltimore Orioles.
Here's a three two pitch, swung on and fouled out.
Kendall going far to the outside, getting out of him just on the end of the bat so the count continues to hold him
with two men out and nobody on base.
For the National League All-Stars.
Again Jim Bunning works and the pitchers swung on and popped up in the short left field.
Coming on is Leon Wagner.
Wagner calls for it and he makes the catch in left field.
So Crandall is out and in the top of the second the National League All-Stars get no runs on, no hits, no errors
and nobody left and at the end of an inning and a half the score is National League All-Stars nothing,
the American League All-Stars nothing.
One of the finest second basemen in baseball, Bobby Richardson is on the squad here today as a backup man for Billy Moran
and listen to what Bobby told Mel Allen the other day.
Bobby I see a can of Rite Guard deodorant in your locker, how do you like it?
I go for that power spray Mel, it's fast, really does the job quick.
Gillette Rite Guard's push button power spray is a fine aerosol mist that gets right through for complete coverage,
complete protection from odor causing bacteria.
It's not like messy creams you have to rub in to get down where odor begins,
not like gummy roll-ons that leave a sticky uncomfortable film,
not like grippy wasteful hit or miss squeeze bottle sprays that soak the underarm.
There's no muss or fuss with convenient Rite Guard, like the song says, two seconds give you 24 hour protection.
Two seconds by the clock, Rite Guard, tick tock.
Two seconds gives you 24 hour protection, safe all day with power spray.
24 hour protection.
Cool, refreshing Gillette Rite Guard deodorant, 79 cents, or the new economy king size, only one dollar plus tax.
Going to the bottom half of the second inning and the American League sends up the number five man into batting order, Jim Gentile,
first baseman of the Baltimore Orioles, left hand batter with 21 home runs this season, batting average of 280,
facing right hander Don Drysdale.
That pitch is high and away for a ball.
You may have seen Don Drysdale in the movies or in a television drama.
He appears in the extra parts frequently. Here's a swing and a miss, one and one.
Starting to warm up in the American League bullpen, right hander Camilo Pasqual of the Minnesota Twins.
Nothing, nothing ball game to this point. It's a fastball inside to Jim Gentile.
Two-one pitch, one out and miss. It's two-two to big jump.
The players on the starting lineup, with the exception of the pitchers, are named by a poll of the players themselves.
The pitchers and the remaining squad members are named by the managers.
And the managers, of course, are those of the previous Falls World Series.
In this case, Fred Hutchinson of the Cincinnati Reds and Ralph Hough of the New York Yankees.
The two-two pitch to Gentile, tight, drives him out of there. It's three and two.
Barring injury, the starting lineup, except pitchers, must play the first three innings.
Pitchers cannot pitch more than three innings unless the game goes into extra innings.
Manager Ralph Hough indicated before the ball game that Camilo Pasqual probably would follow Jim Bunning.
Manager Fred Hutchinson indicated that Juan Marischal of the San Francisco Giants probably would follow Don Drysdale.
The pitch to Gentile, high and away, ball four, and he walked him.
And so that is the first walk given up by Don Drysdale. He gives the American League a baserunner with nobody out and Leon Wagner coming up.
Leon Wagner leaves the American League in home runs with 25 from the Los Angeles Angels, a left-hand batter.
Pitch is outside for ball.
The two-two pitch to Gentile, tight, drives him out of there. It's three and two.
Barring injury, the starting lineup, except pitchers, must play the first three innings.
Pitchers cannot pitch more than three innings unless the game goes into extra innings.
Manager Ralph Hough indicated before the ball game that Camilo Pasqual probably would follow Jim Bunning.
Manager Fred Hutchinson indicated that Juan Marischal of the San Francisco Giants probably would follow Don Drysdale.
The pitch to Gentile, high and away, ball four, and he walked him.
And so that is the first walk given up by Don Drysdale.
Baserunner with nobody out and Leon Wagner.
Leon Wagner leads the American League in home runs with 25 from the Los Angeles Angels, a left-hand batter.
Pitch is outside for ball.
There's nobody out.
Drysdale into the stretch. Pitch is swung out and missed. It's one and one.
Leon Wagner is the real Cinderella man of this dream game. He was once with the Giants, was traded away to the Cardinals.
The Cardinals sent him to Rochester in the International League, and that's where the Angels found him last season.
Swing and a miss. One and two.
Leads the American League in home runs with 25. He is tied to the RBI lead in the American League with 65.
Here's a swing and a ground ball to first, taken by Cepeda. He goes across to Groat. He's out there. The relay back to first. He's safe there.
He beat the relay, but on the ground ball to first base, Cepeda turned and fired to Dick Groat at second for the force there.
The relay from Groat back to Cepeda at the bag, not in time to get Leon Wagner.
So he becomes the baserunner at first, one away, and catcher Earl Batty is coming up.
Earl Batty of the Minnesota Twins, hitting 280, four home runs.
This is his first time in the All-Star squad. Drysdale now into the stretch.
Here is the pitch in there for a Carl's Strike one. Ed Hurley of the American League is behind the plate.
Huggie Donatelli of the National League at first base, Bob Stewart of the American League at second, and Tony Benson of the National League at third.
Harry Schwartz of the American League down the line and left. Al Forman of the National League down the line and right.
Swing and a ground ball, taken by Cepeda at first. He plays to Groat for the force. The relay back to Drysdale covering. He's out. A double play.
A 3-6-1 double play. Earl Batty with the ground ball fielded in backhand style by Cepeda at first base.
Played across to Groat and on back to the pitcher, Don Drysdale covering it first, so that in the bottom half of the second, the American League got no runs on, no hits, no errors, and nobody left.
And at the end of two innings, the score is National League nothing, the American League nothing.
The other night in Boston, Kurt Gowdy got talking to Rich about his hitting Rich Rollins, and then they got onto another subject, so listen.
Trying the new Gillette Slim Adjustable Razor, Rich?
I just did, Kurt. Take a look.
Easy, man, easy. My face feels repressed, too.

Going on to the top of the third, and Bill Maserowski is up.
Pitch is spun out and has a fly ball to the left. Over is Leon Wagner in the left field corner, and he makes the catch for the out.
Bill Maserowski swinging on the first ball pitch has fly it out to the left.
And that is going to bring up pitcher Don Drysdale up for his first time in this ball game.
No score yet in the 32nd annual All-Star Game District of Columbia Stadium in Washington, D.C.
Drysdale is a big right-hand batter, facing Jim Bunning.
Swing and a miss for strike one.
When this stadium was constructed here in Washington, D.C., a presidential box was constructed for the use of the president.
However, he's not using that position today. Here's a pitch in there for Carl Strike.
The president of the United States is seated behind the dugout along the right field line, behind the American League dugout.
Two-strike count to Drysdale. Bunnings pitches a curve ball, cut out and foul back. He got a little bit of it to stay alive at two strikes.
And the president has shed his jacket and is in his shirt sleeves behind the American League dugout,
enjoying the sunshine, a very pleasant afternoon here at the stadium.
Two-strike pitch to Drysdale. Almost knocked him down. Had him ducking and he ended up in the dirt.
He started to lean back to take his tight across the chest and buckle at the knees and went down in the dirt.
It's one and two to Drysdale.
So here is the one-two pitch. Swung on and foul back onto the screen and out of play.
Count holds at one and two.
No score in this ballgame as yet. And the top half of the third inning.
Jim Bunnings set to work and the one-two pitch. Swung on and missed strike three. He struck him out two away and nobody on.
That is strikeout number two for Jim Bunnings.
And we'll bring up Dick Groat for his second time in the ballgame in the first inning. He grounded out short to first.
Here at District of Columbia Stadium it's 335 feet to the foul pole down the line and left.
335 to the foul pole down the line and right. 410 feet to straightaway center.
Here's a low wire fence extending all the way around from the left field corner around to the right field corner.
Seven feet high. Anything over that low wire fence a home run.
Here's a pitch in there for Carl Streit, the right-hand batter Dick Groat.
Slight breeze blowing here and that's a little unusual in this stadium. Here's a curve ball, a slow curve in there for Carl Streit.
That pitchers employ sidearm deliveries and off the sidearm Bunnings came in with a slow curve ball that time and Dick Groat looked it over and has a count of two strikes.
That pitch is way outside, missed everything, came right on back. No damage done. There are no baserunners. Came all the way back to the backstop.
On the count of two strikes, Bunnings was taking no chances of getting anything good in there and so it was way outside, one and two.
The scoreboard located in right field here is 275 feet long, it's 35 feet high and cost $397,000.
The one-two pitch swung on as a ground ball to third. Rich Rollins has it. He's up with it, plays across to Jim Thiel in time and Groat is grounded out third to first.
And so in the top of the third, the National League got no runs, no hits, no errors and nobody left.
And so at the end of two and a half innings, the score is the National League all-stars nothing, the American League all-stars nothing.
One of the top National Leaguers, Ken Boyer, going out now to take his position at third base.
Incidentally, Ken had a word for me the other night and here it is. Listen.
Ken, I'm just checking. What's your opinion of instant laddies?
I like them, Lindsay. Personally, I use Gillette Foamy and I'm all out for it.
So many people agree with Ken that Foamy is a top favorite.
Just touch the nozzle and out billows rich full-bodied lather that softens your beard, keeps it soaked throughout your shave from first easy gliding stroke till last.
Yes, Foamy is the cream of all instant ladders. Next time you buy shaving cream, won't you remember this jingle?
For a shave that puts you on the board, Gillette Foamy gets the call. Shave is easy, clean and fast. Get through the shave that lasts and lasts. Shave Gillette.
Get cool, refreshing Gillette Foamy. Regular only 79 cents or the Giant Economy size almost twice as much for only 98 cents. Like menthol, we've got that too, same price.

Afericio on his way to second, out around towards third. Roberto Clementi and Willie Mays after the ball up with it and pulling up at third base. It's Luis Afericio with a triple. An extra base hit for Luis.
And now Lee Thomas is going to bat here for Jim Bunning. Lee Thomas of the Los Angeles Angels is going to bat here and has a swing and a miss. He's a left hand batter at strike one.
Afericio opening up with a triple to the right center field and in betweener that went all the way to the low wire fence. And it's a strike one count to left hand pinch hitter Lee Thomas.
A swing and a drive out into center field. It is taken by Grode out there in short center. Holding is Afericio at third. A little bloop actually that appeared to be going farther than it did.
And Grode took it, ranging over to his left. No advance. One away and Rich Rollins now coming up for his second time. He was hit by a pitch ball in the bottom half of the first inning.
Still no score in the ball game at the American League threatening here in the bottom of the third with a runner at third and one man out.
The National League All-Stars have pulled the infield in, trying to make a play at the plate.
Don Drysdale looking in to get a sign from his battery mate Del Crandall.
Wind up in the pitch as a fastball low for ball one. Jim Bunning is now out of the ball game having been removed for the pinch hitter.
Camilo Pasquale continues to throw in the ball fin area for the American League All-Stars. Bunning has pitched eight consecutive scoreless innings of All-Star competition.
Drysdale again into the wind up and the pitch. Play out and missed. It's one and one to Rich Rollins.
Don Drysdale of course trying to work on Rich Rollins to get him there so he can drop that infield back after the second out.
Big right hander has the sign now again into the wind up and the pitch. It's low and away for a ball two and one to Rollins with Aparicio the base runner at third.
Now action in the National League All-Star bullpen. Juan Marichal of the San Francisco Giants, a right hander is throwing.
Juan Marichal heating up in the bullpen of the National League All-Stars. No score yet in the ball game.
Again Drysdale set the 2-1 pitch. Strongman popped up to the infield to the right side.
Second baseman Bill Maseroski is there. Takes it on the edge of the outfield grass. There is no advance. Two away.
So Rollins popped out to Maseroski who went back about two steps on the edge of the outfield grass and right to make the catch.
Drysdale had come off the mound on down behind the plate to back up any possible throw. There was none. He is returning to the mound now.
So Aparicio led off the inning with a triple but he is still at third base and coming up is Billy Moran, the second baseman of the Los Angeles Angels.
He's been up one time and he flied out to Roberto Clemente in right field.
Drysdale with an eye on Aparicio into a full windup and the pitch to Moran swung on and tipped back into the big glove of Del Crandall. Strike one.
They play Moran almost straight away. He is known to be able to peck that ball in all directions.
Again Aparicio leads down the line at third and the pitch to Moran. Swung on and popped up in foul territory into the stands and out of play.
Back over into the stands behind President John F. Kennedy who stood up and looked back into the crowd and is still standing in shirt sleeves and dark glasses looking back to see where that foul ball landed.
Aparicio who opened up here with a triple went up into the stands to shake the hand of President Kennedy before the ball game and the President asked that Stan Musio come by also and Mr. Musio went by.
Here's a swing and a miss. Strike three. Struck him out to retire to the side. So Moran is out swinging and that is strike out number three for Drysdale in the bottom half of the third inning of the American League.
Got no runs on one hit. A triple by Aparicio. No errors and one left as Aparicio died at third and so at the end of three innings the score is the National League nothing, the American League nothing.
Billy Moran up there in a spot to do some damage however Don Drysdale got him as he took a hefty cut. You know Bill's a man of few words but what he says makes sense.
Here's what he said to Mel Allen the other day in the clubhouse. Say Bill I see you're shaving with that new Gillette Slim adjustable razor. How do you like it?
It's great Bill. It's easier to handle and I believe it gives me even more comfortable shave than my old adjustable.
Yes the new Gillette Slim is streamlined from head to handle lighter for easier handling, longer for better balance, slimmer for hard to reach shaving areas.
And it's the first adjustable razor ever at the low low price of only a dollar fifty. To adjust it just twist the micometer dial to one of the nine different settings that's exactly right for your skin and beard.
You get clean refreshing shaves every time. Included with your new Slim adjustable is a dispenser of remarkable Gillette Super Blue Blades.
They shave you so quick so easy it's hard to believe there's a blade in the razor. See the Gillette Slim adjustable razor. It's on display now at the low low price of only a dollar fifty.
Coming in now to pitch for the American League All Stars, the curveballing right hander of the Minnesota Trends, Camilo Pasqual in relief of Jim Bunning.
We have come three innings in the 32nd All Star game with no score. The National League nothing, the American League nothing.
As Jim Bunning pitched three scoreless innings to give him a run of eight consecutive scoreless innings of All Star pitching.
He gave up only one hit, a double to Roberto Clemente in the first inning. He struck out two and he walked nine. A fine performance for right hander Jim Bunning here in the nation's capital this afternoon.
Now Camilo Pasqual who has a seasons record of 12 victories and four losses.
And on to have one of the finest curveballs in the game.
He will be facing Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays and Orlando Cepeda here in the top half of the fourth inning.
As this All Star game is moving right along.
A packed house of more than forty five thousand on hand here this afternoon.
In this beautiful new District of Columbia Stadium in Washington D.C.
Roberto Clemente, right hand batter standing and now waiting for the first pitch from Pasqual.
It's on the way and it's in there for our call strike. Clemente sort of strided away from the plate to take a good look at that first pitch.
Willie Mays kneeling in the on deck circle for the National League All Stars.
As a curveball swung on and drilled out into left field a broken bat hit into left. Clemente turns first, holds on.
As Leon Wagner comes up with the ball fires it back into second and Clemente has his second base hit of the day.
Broke the bat and the bat half of it traveled down about as far as the coaching box at third.
Where Johnny Keene flipped it over. But the ball continued on a low trajectory right on out into left field.
So the National League has opened up here in the top half of the fourth inning.
Getting speedster Clemente on it first with Willie Mays at the plate.
Willie's been up one time and he fouled out back in the back at first.
The wonder boy of the San Francisco Giants, Willie Mays.
Here's a pitch of curveball that is inside. Turn Willie out a little bit. It's ball one.
Again Camilo Pascual is ready. Fires the fastball on the outside low and away and it's ball two.
The defense shading Willie just slightly toward left almost straight away.
Of course Willie Mays has power to all fields.
He is that rare combination of speed and power. Pitch is inside. Throw to first Clemente gets back safely.
Big Jim Gentile the first baseman down there.
Jim Gentile of course was once a National Ligger once with the Dodgers.
Count of three balls and no strikes to Willie Mays.
Squares to take it and it's an effort called strike three and one.
In taking the pitch Willie Mays shortened up, bluffed the butt.
Nothing nothing here in the top half of the fourth inning.
Clemente leads off the bag at first and here's the pitch to Willie Mays.
Low and away ball for any walk game.
So Mays goes to first base that pushes Roberto Clemente up to second.
That is the first walk given up by American League pitching in this ball game.
And will bring up Orlando Cepeda.
Cepeda has been up one time and he fouled out to the catcher.
He's got a tight pitch right off the handle straight up into the air.
San Francisco backers call him the baby ball. He has raw power to spare.
Big right hand batter.
Batting in the clean up position in the National League batting order.
Here's the pitch thrown as the ground ball fouled.
Down pass Johnny Keene coaching at third. Now on deck Tommy Davis.
Tommy Davis has the highest batting average in the starting lineup here this afternoon.
Davis hitting.353.
The National League had five 300 hitters in the starting lineup.
The American League had only two 300 hitters in the starting lineup.
One strike count to Cepeda. Runners leading at first and second.
Here's the pitch swung on and pulled on the ground foul.
Back toward the National League dugout. A two strike count.
National League has plenty of speed on the bases.
Roberto Clemente of the Pitchbury Pirates at second and Willie Mays of the San Francisco Giants at first.
National League all-stars have only two hits in the ball game this far.
Both of them by Roberto Clemente.
Danielo Pascual takes a moment straightening out the dirt there around the rubber.
Now I said looks in for a sign from battery mate Earl Batty as it goes into the stretch position.
And here's the pitch to Cepeda. It's high football.
Here's the fastball. It's one and two.
Juan Marischal of the San Francisco Giants continues to throw in the bow pen.
For the National League all-stars pitches can only go three innings of course.
Now Don Drysdale has completed his three inning stint, which he allowed only one hit to the American League as the triple by Luis Aparicio.
One ball, two strikes to Orlando Cepeda.
Here's the pitch. Curveball. High and tight it's two-two.
Milo Pascual takes a moment to rub up the ball. Now it turns to look in for a sign.
There's the pitch tight. Throwing back out of there.
And it's out full now at three and two to Orlando Cepeda with runners at first and second.
And nobody out for the National League all-stars.
Making a bid here in the top half of the fourth inning of a game that has been scoreless up to this point.
Milo Pascual turns again to rub up the ball a little bit.
Goes to the Rosenberg.
He is faced with the proposition of a payoff pitch to Orlando Cepeda.
He has the sign.
They're running and here's the swing and it was to throw to third and he is on his third.
A double play. A double play.
Manager Grant Hutchinson of the National League has the runners going.
On three-two, nobody out. Cepeda took a cut at a curveball, struck out.
And Maddie's throw to Rich Rollins at third was on the money to get to Mene as Mays moved to second.
Two men out, a runner at second and Tommy Davis coming up.
Tommy Davis has been up one time and he flied out to center.
So Camilo Pascual with a big pitch there, a three-two pitch to Orlando Cepeda.
Got himself out of trouble when it was turned into a double play.
Here's a curveball breaking in there for a call strike to Tommy Davis.
Tommy Davis with 90 runs batted in and 126 base hits leads the major leagues in both departments.
He's 23 years of age, born in Brooklyn.
Mays is running and there is a pitch that Maddie drops and Mays pulls up at third.
It is a call strike to Tommy Davis and in his haste to throw the ball, Maddie drops it and so Willie Mays gets a stolen base.
Mays got a good jump, was off and running and the pitch was in there for a call strike to Tommy Davis.
And as Earl Maddie started to cock his arm, dropped the ball.
So Mays is at third with two men out and a two-strike count to Davis.
We're in the top half of the fourth inning, no score.
Mays bluffs the start and here's a pitch blown away.
Almost getting by but Maddie managed to dig it up.
One ball and two strikes.
Everyone broke way outside, blown away and Earl Maddie the catcher had to reach far over.
Willie Mays had bluffed the start down the line from third on the pitch.
Again, Camilo Pascual has the sign working straight away.
Now the one-two pitch cut on and fouled off.
He's still alive at one and two.
Tommy Davis in his first All-Star game in his third year with the Dodgers blossomed in the stardom this season.
He bats clean up in the batting order for manager Walter Alston's Los Angeles Dodgers.
Here at the All-Star break the Dodgers of course are on top in the National League standings,
one-half game ahead of the second place San Francisco Giants.
There's a pitch hit on the handle and booped out the shortstop taken by a reach, a parecio there for the out.
So Tommy Davis in a blooper taken by a parecio and so on the top of the fourth the National League got no runs on one hit,
no errors and one lift and at the end of three and a half innings the score is National League nothing, American League nothing.
Well of course every team is represented here and the New York Mets are represented by star outfielder Richie Ashburn.
I see a lot of Richie of course because he's with my home team, the Mets,
and here's what he said to me in the clubhouse a few days ago while shaving.
Every time you get to talking about shaving Lindsay you're bound to hear about Super Blue Blades.
Yes Richie they are pretty popular all right.
After I first tried one it was the only blade for me.
Millions upon millions throughout the free world agree with Richie.
Gillette Super Blue Blades give you an experience in shaving comfort you'll never forget.
Fast clean shave with so little effort is all but incredible.
Super Blues have double edges for extra convenience and extra saving.
It is produced by a unique engineering process that is Gillette's alone.
They're so keen and smooth you'll find it hard to believe there's a blade in your razor.
A dispenser of Super Blue Blades is included with the new Gillette's Slim Adjustable Razor.
The first adjustable ever at the low low price of only a dollar fifty.
Or the blades alone are ten for sixty nine cents and fifteen for a dollar.
Try them soon won't you? You'll feel a big difference in easy shaving.
Juan Marichal has come into the ball game.
Now to pitch for the National League Don Drysdale having pitched his three innings giving up no runs on one hip struck out three and walked one.
And the twenty four year old right hander of the San Francisco Giants has come on now.
Juan Marichal with a season's record of eleven victories and five losses.
And here in the bottom half of the fifth inning he will face Roger Maris, Mickey Madeline, Jim Gentile.
This is Lindsay Nelson with John McClain at the thirty second All-Star Game in Washington D.C.
Maris has been up one time he struck out swinging.
Marichal with the pitch swung on and now to fly ball deep to left center field chasing it over to Willie Mays,
pounce the glove and makes the catch at the edge of the warning track in left center field.
Willie Mays ranging across and pounded the glove on the way and if you watch Willie over the years when he pounded the glove on the way
it's a pretty good indication that he thinks he's going to make the catch and usually he does as he did.
One away Mickey Madeline coming up he has been up one time and was called out on strikes.
So far this has been a pitcher's All-Star Game. No score here in the bottom half of the fourth inning.
National League All-Stars have two hits and the American League All-Stars have one.
Luis Sapericio with a triple off Don Drysdale the only American League hit to this point.
Mickey Madeline had the highest batting average in the starting lineup hitting three thirty three and the only other three hundred hitter
was Rich Rollins at three eighteen in the American League starting lineup. That pitch is high.
Ball one to Madeline.
Maraschel kicks and fires on its outside for a ball two and all.
The President of the United States in attendance here this afternoon he made his entry through the dugout through the American League dugout
just before the start of the ball game. Vice President Lyndon Johnson is here as well.
Two and all pitch is inside. It's three balls and no strikes to Mickey Madeline.
Starslugger of the New York Yankees.
Of course at the time of this All-Star break the New York Yankees are on top in the American League standings.
One game ahead of the second place Cleveland Indians.
That is a pitch high and he has walked Madeline on four pitch balls.
That is the second walk issued to the American League All-Stars today.
It gives him a baserunner at first and Jim Gentile coming up and we are going to have now a pitch runner from Madeline.
It's going to be Rocky Colavito.
Rocky Colavito is coming in to run from Mantle. Mantle is out of the ball game.
And it is a good bet that Colavito was staying in the ball game in left field and that Leon Wagner will be moved over to right next inning.
Colavito of the Detroit Tigers running for Mickey Mantle at first base.
Jim Gentile a left hand batter waiting for a pitch and it's on the way.
Swung on and popped a foul. Back of the National League dugout.
Mickey Vernon the manager of the Washington Senators is coaching at first base this afternoon for the American League All-Stars.
And Billy Hitchcock the manager of the Baltimore Orioles is coaching at third base.
Here's a pitch run and missed for strike two.
Jim Gentile took a riff at that one.
Gentile walked in the bottom half of the second inning.
He's the only previous appearance at the plate in this ball game.
Colavito leads out the bag at first and there's a pitch high for ball.
No attempt being made by first baseman Orlando Cepeda to hold the runner on it first.
Marischal into the stretch position.
And the one-two pitch to Gentile. Cut on and popped up into left field.
Tommy Davis is called for it. Has the sunglasses snapped down.
He waits and Tommy Davis makes the catch for the out.
Halfway on the fly ball to left Rocky Colavito returns to the bag at first.
Two away. Colavito still at first and Leon Wagner is coming up.
Slugging left fielder of the Los Angeles Angels. Actually he's played left and right.
Playing of course under Bill Rigney at Los Angeles.
Rigney managed him when both were with the San Francisco Giants.
He's been up one time in this game and hit into a force play.
That pitch is high and away for a ball.
Leon Wagner of course was delighted when he learned that he was going to be the third man in an all-star high field of Mantle, Marischal and Wagner.
He watches high and away. It's ball two.
Marischal with the pitch. Cut on and fouled up into the stands and out of play.
On deck now for the American League All-Stars is Earl Batty wearing a special protective face guard attached to the helmet.
Marischal into the stretch position.
And he leads it first. The 2-1 pitch is low for a ball. It's 3-1.
Whenever you think of pitchers in all-star games of course you must think of Carl Hubbell at the Polo Grounds in 1934 when he authored one of the greatest pitching feats in all-star history.
Striking out in succession, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Fox, Al Summitt and Joe Cronin.
Marischal with a 3-1 pitch. Letter pitch swung on and fouled on the left field line chased down there by Ken Boyer.
And he is there and he makes the catch in foul territory for the odds that retires the side.
So Wagner has fouled out and in the bottom of the fourth the American League All-Stars get no runs on, no hits, no errors in one left.
And so at the end of four innings the score is the National League nothing, the American League nothing.
One of the big ball players in this game of course, Tommy Davis, who has blossomed into a real start in this season.
Tommy's big news and when he's being interviewed it's hard to get a question in edgewise but I did. Listen.
Tommy have you tried the new Gillette Slim Adjustable Razor yet?
Yeah, Lindsay. Been using one a couple of weeks now. I sure like the way it handles. Real easy shaving.
It's a safe bet you'll go along with Tommy when you try the Gillette Slim Adjustable Razor.
It sells for the low, low price of only $1.50, a real saving.
If that's just part of the news about the Slim Adjustable, it's streamlined from head to handle.
Lighter, longer for better balance, slimmer too for hard to shave spots under the nose and chin.
One of nine different settings on its exclusive micrometer dial is exactly right for your combination of skin and beard.
With it you get a dispenser of Gillette Super Blue Blades. They're double-edged for economy, so keen and easy shaving you hardly know there's a blade in your razor.
Look for the new Gillette Slim Adjustable Razor at a nearby store. Only $1.50, the lowest price ever for an adjustable razor.
And now for the American League, Rocky Colavito has gone into the ballgame in left field and Leon Wagner has moved over to right.
And Leon Wagner has moved over to right.
So if you're keeping a scorecard, put Colavito into left field and Leon Wagner into right field.
Colavito, of course, will bat number four in the batting order in Mickey Mantle's place in the American League batting order.
Right now, Ken Boyer, St. Louis Cardinal third baseman, is up.
There's a swing and a foul ball. Back out of play for strike one.
Boyer's been up one time and he's struck out swinging.
A perfect baseball afternoon here at District of Columbia Stadium. Low humidity, sunny and completely clear and comparatively cool.
Pitch is swung in as the ground ball is short. Luis Aparicio on a big hop, wings it across to Gentile in time and Boyer has grounded out short to first.
One away and that'll bring up Darrell Crandell. The American League nothing, the National League nothing.
And we're in the top half of the fifth inning. Crandell has been up one time and he flied out to left field.
Speaking a moment ago as we were about the five strikeouts by Hubbell, strangely enough, the National League did not win that game.
Despite the great feat by Hubbell, the American League won that ball game in 1934.
Pitch is in there for a call strike. Of course the All-Star series has been a series of tremendous baseball feats as you would figure with the very best in the game competing.
Strike one pitch, swung on and fouled off. It's strike two to Crandell.
The summer's second All-Star game will be played at Wrigley Field in Chicago on July 30th.
The President of the United States having quite a time now watching Casey Stengel on the coaching lines at first base.
Here's a two strike, kind of curve ball that comes in high and it's one and two.
We were asking Casey before the ball game when he was last on the coaching lines.
He said in Boston when he managed the Braves and he said, I had a piece of the club so actually I came out on the lines to count the house.
One and two of the count to Dale Crandell.
Pasquale with the pitch, swung on as a little number right back to Camilo Pasquale.
He gloves it, fires over to first end time to get Crandell.
Grinding out Pitcher to first, two away, nobody on for the National League and Bill Maserowski coming up batting number eight in the National League batting order.
Second baseman to the Pittsburgh Pirates and everybody remembers what Bill Maserowski is most noted for in his career.
In the seventh game of the World Series in 1960 against the New York Yankees he hit a home run in the bottom half of the ninth inning to win the World Championship for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
He's been up one time in this ball game, fly to left. Ducks under a curve ball, takes it high, ball one.
In the late innings of the ball game we can expect all sorts of changes to be made. Of course there's a pitch missing outside, it's ball two.
Both manager Ralph Hawke and manager Fred Hutchinson said yesterday at a press conference that they like to get as many ball players in the game as possible.
It's a great honor to play in the game and they hate to see ball players come a great distance and sit on the bench.
However, this is a scoreless ball game. Here's a swing and a pop out toward second.
Aparicio moves over and takes it just behind Billy Moran. Aparicio taking it in short center and so Camilo Pascual got the National League out in order with no runs on, no hits, no errors and nobody left.
And so at the end of four and a half innings the score is the National League all-stars nothing, the American League all-stars nothing.
The first half of today's game was brought to you by the Gillette Safety Razor Company. The second half of today's game is brought to you by the Chrysler Corporation.
If you're looking for value, look twice at Valiant during All-Star Value Days.
Fun time, summer time, best time to buy, best time to drive a new Valiant, a new Valiant.

Valiant is priced less than most other compacts and low price is just the beginning. You'll keep on saving when you drive a Valiant.
Its sizzling Slant Six engine gives you a lot more action on a lot less gas.
Valiant won its class in the recent mobile gas economy run and you save again with Valiant's battery saving alternator.
The alternator keeps the kick in your battery when others are cocking up. It's another first on all Chrysler Corporation cars.
Further proof that nobody beats Valiant for value. See your dealer now. Nobody will beat the trade you'll get on Valiant during All-Star Value Days.
Going out of the bottom half of the fifth and it is my pleasure to introduce your play-by-play announcer for the second half of today's game,
the voice of the Washington Senators who feels right at home here at D.C. Stadium, John McLean.
Thank you very much, Lindsay, and hello again everybody.
Earl Batty, the catcher, leads off against right-hander Juan Maréchal of the Giants who kicks high and throws overhand and misses outside.
Fastball on the way and it's one and nothing.
Batty has been up once and grounded into a double play.
A fine-feeling play by Sepeda.
The pitch coming is hit down the right-field line, twisting out foul.
Racing for it, Sepeda. Mazurowski-Quimetti coming over. They can't get it. It lands untouched.
On the box, seed railing. He hit right field.
Ball one and strike one to Earl Batty.
Lindsay made reference to the special face guard that Earl Batty wears. American League fans are very familiar with it.
Batty, twice in his Major League career, has been hit by pitched balls.
He was advised by the doctors that he should protect the left temple to keep from being injured seriously.
The pitch to him is a high curve for a ball. It's two and one.
Ball two and strike one. Activity starting in the National League.
All-star bullpen Bob Perkey of the Cincinnati Reds, a right-hander working.
Maréchal pumps twice this time. Kicks and throws. Fastball hits to right field.
Backing is the right-fielder Quimetti. He's got it and there's one out.
Batty sliced a line drive to right field. Roberto Quimetti of the Pirates drifted back easily and took it for the up.
And now here is little Louie, Luis Aparicio of the White Sox, the American League All-Star shortstop.
He has the American League's only base hit this afternoon, a triple hit into the alley between Quimetti and Mays, all the way to the fence in right center field.
The 26 came off Drysdale with nobody out, but Drysdale got the next three.
Pitch from Maréchal is high outside. Sidearm pitch that time from Maréchal and it's one and nothing.
The outfield plays Aparicio straight away. The infield is one left and up a step in deference to Louie's great speed.
Here's the pitch coming. Outside high, a fastball missed and it's two and nothing.
Ball two and no strikes, no score in the game. Last half of inning number five at beautiful D.C. Stadium in the nation's capital.
The 2-0 pitch on its way. Fastball accidentally fouled, slicing into the lower stands to the right of the screen.
Ball two and strike one, McCuff. Aparicio is trying to get the bat out of the way and it's sliced foul into the lower stand.
Ball two and strike one, McCuff. Fetcher pass foul, the UF next. Here's the pitch.
Ground ball hit sharply to the shortstop. Drogh is up with a throw to first end time. Aparicio is up by three steps.
Two down now for the American League in the fifth inning.
And in a strollous ball game, pass foul is a good bat freestyle in the fifth inning.
That pass foul is a good hitting pitcher. And the bat's with two off and the base is empty in the last half of the fifth inning.
Only three hits in the game as the pitchers have been in command. Two by the national, one by the American.
Aparicio's delivery hit on the ground sharply, pass them out. They caught the grope. The shorty throws to first.
Pass foul is out and the side's retired in order. For the American League All-Stars in the fifth inning, no runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left on.
And so at the end of the fifth inning, the score is National League All-Stars nothing, American League All-Stars nothing.
Hey, friend, can I borrow your field glasses?
Sure.
Here you are. What's going on?
I want to check the price of that Plymouth Savoy on the billboard in center field.
No.
It can't be.
Well, what is it?
2206.
Let me see those glasses.
You must be looking at the scoreboard.
That's the right price, my friend. 2206. And right now you can get a low-price high-trade deal on all Plymouths during All-Star Value Days.
And the low price includes the famous built-in value from Chrysler Corporation.
Unibody Construction, the battery-saving alternator, 32,000 miles between major loop jobs.
You'll get the buy of the year on a Plymouth Savoy during All-Star Value Days.
Only 2206, based on manufacturer-suggested retail price, exclusive of destination charges.
You were right, buddy. That Plymouth's only 2206.
Well, here he comes. Stan the Man, Ucio, is going to bat for one hundred shawls.
And there's the roar from the crowd before Ucio is even introduced.
Ucio, the granddaddy of them all in All-Star competition, 19 All-Star games.
For Stan Ucio, as he bats against Camilla Pasquale, the leadoff at the top of the sixth inning,
takes a call strike as Pasquale barreled a fastball through at the knees, nothing in one.
Stan, at the age of 41, getting 330 in regular season plays.
At the first of the knees, he takes a curve over, strikes to call.
Pasquale cheered up beautifully that time and had his leadoff curve on the outside corner above the knees.
So, Ucio batting for Marischal is behind nothing and two in the top of the sixth inning.
Nationally, all stars, the American league all stars, no score.
Ucio, a little while in the easy motion, kicks and throws, there's a right side,
takes it to right field, strikes it by Ucio.
And we've got a runner now for Stan Ucio.
Mary Will, the Los Angeles Dodgers, is trying to third base and hits a home run for the first time.
So, Stan Ucio delivers with a leadoff single, hit number three with the answer to all stars.
And Marty Will, the Dodgers, is running for the U.S. first base.
And keep an eye on this fellow, he has stolen 46 bases in the National League this year,
and he's a Washington boy.
Shortstop, Dick Grode, a good hit and run man at the plate,
and with Wills who can fly at first and nobody out,
Pasquale will have to keep an eye on Marty Wills.
Jenseel holding tight to the bag to set the pitch coming a bluff front by Grode, a strike call by plate umpire, Ed Hurley.
Grode squared around his empty button and took a breaking ball on the outside corner for a strike.
The outfield shading Grode, chart right, even though he's a right-hand batter, they do not claim to pull.
The infield is up a step, Rollins into the edge of the intergrass at third, looking for the button.
Pasquale ready, there goes Wills, the pitch is hung on and missed, and Daddy makes no throw to second base.
It's a clean steal by Marty Wills.
Swing to protect the runner, lost his bat and threw it past the on-deck hitter, Bob Clemente.
Wills got a tremendous jump on Camillo Pasquale, and Earl Batty saw that he had no chance, no point in throwing.
A steal of second by Marty Wills with nobody out and a two-strike count to Dick Grode.
Grode is 0-2, he's grounded the short, grounded the third. Pasquale's pitch curveball placed foul out of play.
Down the right-field side, two strikes, the count to Dick Grode.
The big hole in the outfield against Grode is in left center.
Dick hits out of an overly close stance, chokes up on the bat a couple of inches.
Marty Wills at second base with nobody out. Top of the sixth, no score.
Pasquale ready, rocks and throws a foul as Grode was trying to go to right field with the ball.
Swung late and just nicked it foul.
In the American League bullpen is the Cleveland Indians' ace right-hander, Dick Donovan.
Bob Perkey of the Cincinnati Reds and the National League All-Stars heating up in the visiting bullpen.
Two strikes to Dick Grode, no score. Four hits in the game.
The National has three, the American League has one.
Pasquale pitching with Wills at second base.
Nobody out, two-strike pitch coming to Grode.
Swing on, hit up the middle, makes it on into center field.
Around third, back to the plate is Wills and the National League lead 1-0.
Dick Grode rounds a Jack Singles through the box to the center field, scoring Marty Wills from second base.
For the first round of the ball game, breaking the Scarlet's deadlock, it's the National League All-Stars 1, the American League All-Stars nothing.
And here is Bob Clemente, who has two of the National League's total of four hits.
Dick Grode now steps off first base. His time is called to talk to Casey Stengel.
Stengel points toward the National League All-Star dugout, indicating to Grode, young man, get your sign for Mr. Hutchinson.
Jim Jenfield holding against the runner Grode at first.
Clemente doubled to right in the first. He's single to left in the fourth inning.
Hit by Pasquale, the pitch is inside. Get high, Pasquale, ball one.
Clemente stepped back out of the batter's box and gave Pasquale plenty of room at the plate, but Camillo missed inside.
1-0 to God, it's 1-0 National League leading.
Yuzio batted for Marischal and Singles. Wills ran for it and stole second.
And then Grode Singles on a two-strike pitch on the ground in the center field to get Wills home easily.
Pasquale, deliberate worker, sets at the waist and throws.
Good ball, hit can't be, throw a hole in the left field of base hit.
Grode is down to second, ground second and holds as Calovito comes up with the ball.
And there are two on with nobody out for the National League.
A run is in and three straight singles off Pasquale.
And that is Bob Clemente's third straight hit.
A double and two singles. And all Pasquale has to do now is pitch to Willie Mays with runners at first and second and nobody out.
Mays has fouled at first and won.
He turns now and looks into the National League dugout.
Bob Clemente at first base, Nick Grode at second base, the National League All-Stars lead 1-0.
Top half of the sixth inning at D.C. Stadium in Washington.
Pasquale has his sign from Batty. He delivers to Mays who swings and drives it into the center field.
Backing is Mays, still backing, it's a warning flag. He's got it.
Putting out, tagging his second, moving to third, is Grode tagging his first, drive to second, is Clemente.
A play ball hit over 400 feet to strike away center field by Willie Mays.
It's hot at the base of the fence by Roger Maris, but the ball was hit so deep that Grode, the runner at second, tagged easily and moved to third.
And Clemente took second after the catch.
That'll bring up Orlando Cepeda, the first baseman who was fouled to the catcher and struck out into a double play with runners at second and third in the fourth inning.
A 3-2 pitch to Cepeda. Pasquale struck him out swinging and Batty threw out Clemente at third base.
Cepeda ducks under a high curve, ball one.
Most American League observers agree that Pasquale has just about the finest curveball seen in the league since the heyday of Tommy Bridges from the Detroit Tigers.
The infield is drawn in now for play at the plate. Cepeda swings, it's a slow tap, short third, cut off by Rollins.
He has to go to first to get Cepeda the run scores, and on to third moves Bob Clemente.
A slow trickler, short shortstop that was cut off by the third baseman Rich Rollins.
His only play was at first base to get Cepeda, with Grode scoring from third the second run of the ball game, and Clemente moving from second to third.
It's a run batted in for Cepeda. The National League All-Stars have Clemente at third base with two out, two runs are in, and it's two nothing the National League All-Stars leading.
The batter is Tommy Davis of the Los Angeles Dodgers. He takes a curve outside low, ball one.
Davis has flied to center and popped a short. He is 0 for 2. Two nothing the National League All-Stars lead.
Top of the sixth running, Pasquale kicks and throws, a ground ball hit toward the hole. Beautiful stop by Rollins, he throws to first.
Davis is out of fine play by rookie third baseman Rich Rollins of the Minnesota Twins.
One of the sixth running, the National League All-Stars score two runs on three hits. There were no American League All-Stars errors. One runner left on for the Nationals.
And after five and one half innings of play, the score is the National League All-Stars 2, the American League All-Stars nothing.
If you're looking for value, look twice at Valiant during All-Star Value Day.
Fun times, summer times, best time to buy, best time to drive a new Valiant, a new Valiant.
Right now you'll save plenty on Valiant, America's most rugged compact, during All-Star Value Days from Chrysler Corporation.
Valiant is priced less than most other compacts, and low price is just the beginning. You'll keep on saving when you drive a Valiant.
Its sizzling Slant-6 engine gives you a lot more action on a lot less gas. Valiant won its class in the recent mobile gas economy run.
And you save again with Valiant's battery-saving alternator. The alternator keeps the kick in your battery when others are cocking up.
It's another first on all Chrysler Corporation cars. Further proof that nobody beats Valiant for value.
See your dealer now. Nobody will beat the trade you'll get on Valiant during All-Star Value Days.
The National League All-Star manager, Freddie Hutchinson of the Cincinnati Reds, making changes now.
We have a complete new infield for the National League stars. Ernie Banks of the Chicago Cubs is at first base.
Frank Boling of the Milwaukee Braves at second base. Jim Davenport of the San Francisco Giants at third base.
Maury Will of the Los Angeles Dodgers at shortstop. In the outfield, Felipe Alou has gone to right, replacing Bob Clemente.
Mays remains in center and Tom Davis in left. The new pitcher for the National League All-Star, the East-Right Ender of the Cincinnati Reds, Bob Ferchi.
The announcement of the changes over the public address system now. Wills, who would end a run for Musial, who had batted for the pitcher, will have to bat number nine.
Now it will depend on the manager Hutchinson where he wants to bat his pitcher, Bob Ferchi.
Juan Mauricio of the Giants went suiting, giving up no runs, no hits. Juan Juan, no strikeouts.
So Ferchi is the new pitcher. Crandall is still the catcher.
Ferchi has a record of 13 wins and one defeat. With a nerd run average of 2.55 from Pittsburgh, Ferchi will soon be 33 years old and stands 6'2", 195.
So we'll check and as soon as we find out the batting order, where pitcher Ferchi bats, we'll let you know.
Rollins swings on the first pitch, hits a looper over the head of the first baseman Banks down the right field line, a base hit.
Ernie running it down and Rollins is on with a blue single down the right field line.
So Rollins greets Bob Ferchi with a broken bat Texas League single down the right field line. Hit number one on Ferchi and only the second hit in the game for the American League All-Stars.
That will bring on second baseman Billy Moran with Rollins at first. Rollins had been hit by a pitch and popped a second prior to his single.
Moran has flied to right and struck up. The infield against him, a double play depth.
Bob Ferchi, a towering right-hander, checks the runner and delivers to Moran at the plate.
A line for the left center fielder, that's going to be it for a big hit.
Around second, headed for third is Rollins and holding with a long single into the left center fielder, that is Billy Moran at the American League strikeback.
As they get the first two men on, here on the 6'30", a single by Rollins and a single by Moran.
What fires at the corner is with nobody out and brings to the plate Rod Gimaras, the center fielder from the New York Yankees who has gone over two, struck out in the first inning and chased Mays deep to the warning track in left center for his fly ball in the fourth inning.
Two to nothing, the next league All-Stars lead it. Two runs on five hits for the Nationals. No runs, three hits for the Americans.
The headfield is back, hoping to come up with a double play. They'll give up the run to get the double play. Ferchi to the set, he throws, bowels straight back for his strike and it's nothing in one.
One strike to gov. Nick Donovan continues to work for the American League All-Stars and now we're going to get another pitcher going in the National League All-Star bullpen.
Maris is back for the one strike gov. It's Bob Gibson in the National League bullpen.
Rollins at third, Moran at first, nobody out. Tying runs are on. The pitch to Maris is outside a breaking ball. One ball, one strike.
Ferchi has been a tremendous pitcher for Freddie Hutchinson, Cincinnati Reds this year. Throws a lot of breaking pitches, a knuckle ball. Usually will waste the fast ball.
Once in a while he'll try to slip it past you. Here's the pitch to Maris. There's a drive deep in the right center field. Mays breaking back to 18. He's at the fence. He jumps, he grabs and it's really up.
Hanging at third and scoring is Rollins and all the way to second, Moran as the hot way back to first. A great leading catch by Willie Mays.
Against the top of the wire fence in right center field.
Back to the fight line. No time at bat for Ferris and a run back and in. As Rollins shorties slowly after the catch, Moran was all the way to second on the hurry back to third.
And with that catch, President Kelly was on his feet. A great pass by Willie Mays to the right of a 410 foot sign, hit by Rod Jimenez.
And there's Rocky Colabito at the back for the first time. He went in to run for Mickey Maddow in the fourth inning and then took over in left field with Leon Wagner moving to right.
Maris still hobbled by leg injury. Check by Perky. The pitch to Colabito.
The drive ball back to the box. Perky falls down, picks it up, throws to first to get Colabito and on to second goes Willie Moran. Colabito in a smash to the box. Perky fell down, feeling the ball.
Had to get up and chase his charge second base. Threw quickly to first to get Colabito. On to second, both Willie Moran and the American the Golf stars now have a tying run at second with two outs.
And Dallas Randall is going out to talk to Bob Perky at the mom.
Well, after being a very quiet ball game for the first five innings, suddenly this one has erupted.
The National League scoring two in the sixth. The American League coming up with a run in their half of the sixth inning.
We have Jim Gentile at the plate with Moran, the tying run at second base. Gentile walked in the second, he flied to left in the fourth inning.
Perky to the set position, he throws. Inside at the knees. Pass ball to Gentile, ball one.
Infield, shading Gentile deep toward right. Yawning gap between Mays, shaded into right center and Tommy Davis straight away and left.
The infield is deep toward right. Perky checks Moran at second and delivers inside low. A curve ball under the knees, ball two, no strikes to Gentile.
Ernie Banks, the National League All-Star first baseman, is only about a step and a half off the foul line and almost pulled back to the rim of the outfield grass.
Balling at second is at the beginning of the outfield grass. The shortstop will almost directly behind the runner Billy Moran at second.
Two and 0 and the pitch coming to Gentile. Inside and it's fouled as Gentile tried to get out of the way of an inside fastball.
It nicked the bat foul, skipping onto the base of the screen. It's ball two and strike one now to Jim Gentile.
For the moment at least, Woody Mays has saved the National League with a tremendous leaping catch against the fence in right center field.
Ball two and strike one to Gentile. Wills slipping in behind Moran, the runner at second, flopping in close. The pitch, check, swing, strike two. Call to Jim Gentile.
Gentile started to go on a high outside fastball. Checked his swing but the pitch was over anyways, said Ed Hurley, the playdump player.
And it's ball two and strike two. Perky and Prandtl, the National League battery, Banks at first, balling at second, Davenport at third, Wills at short.
Tom Davison left and Mays in center. Teddy Thalu in right. Perky ready, 2-2 pitch. The knuckleball is strike three called and Gentile is not looking.
So Perky strikes out Gentile to wrap it up in the sixth inning with the American League All-Stars pick up a run on two hits. No National League errors, one runner left on.
And so at the end of the sixth inning, the score is National League All-Stars 2, the American League All-Stars 1.
Chrysler is going great and making great news wherever it goes. And one of the newsmakers, the red-blooded Chrysler 300.
It's easy to own this direct descendant of the famous sports series. During All-Star Value Days you'll get the kind of trade that lets you move up to Chrysler quality.
See your Chrysler dealer now. You'll enjoy the luxury and power of the 300. And there are no junior additions in the Chrysler line to cut down your high resale value.
Test drive the Chrysler 300 during your Chrysler dealer's All-Star Value Days.
A new pitcher in the ball game, Dickson Gavin of the Cleveland Indians. Replaces to video pass 12, Brooks Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles is playing third base.
Second base is Bob Richardson of the New York Yankees.
Now playing center field is Jim Landis of the Chicago Whiteside.
Colabito remains in left and Leon Wagner in right. John Romano is the catcher now for the American League All-Stars.
He is Dick Donovan's battery mate at Cleveland. We move to the top of the seventh inning of the 2-1 ball game with the National League All-Stars leading.
Camillo passed 12 and pitches three innings. He is charged with two runs and four hits.
He lost one and for high foul he's reached out one minute. So Dick Donovan comes on in the seventh inning.
First man he will face is Ernie Banks playing at first base batting in Cleats' Ken Boyers' number six spot in the order.
Donovan delivers a tip foul and it hits Romano on the right kneecap and bounces away. A strike to Ernie Banks.
The batting order now for the National League leading off Jim Davenport playing third base.
Batting second, Philippe Ballou the right fielder, Willie Mays remains to game bat third.
Toucher Bob Turkey is batting fourth in the National League batting order. Tommy Davis remains in left field hitting fifth.
Ernie Banks playing first base batting sixth. Del Crandall stays in the ball game.
Frank Bowling at second base batting eighth and Maury Wills with short hits ninth.
One strike pitch coming to Banks. Swung on grounded sharply foul outside of third.
Strike two the cup to Ernie Banks.
Donovan who was with the Washington Senators in 1961 winning 10 and losing 10 was the earned run leader in the American League.
Traded over to the Indians during the off season in exchange for outfielder Jim Carthall.
Donovan has been a tremendous pitcher for Cleveland. Banks swings and lines the foul.
Down stairs in left field and the count stays at two strikes.
Donovan has a record of 11 wins and three defeats.
A New Englander from Quincy, Massachusetts.
Dick is 33, stands sixth three, weighs 205 pounds. These records we are giving you are through July the 1st.
Two strike pitch coming to Ernie Banks. Keck swing of all down low and it's one and two.
Four one, strike two, the count to Banks.
Ernie who has played shortstop many years for the Cubs. Also at third base now seems to have found a home at first base.
One two pitch coming from Donovan. A ground ball to third.
Up with it is Brooks Robinson. He throws across to Gentile at first in plenty of time and Banks is up.
Robinson at third. Throws out Banks at first. And here is Dow Crandall the catcher.
Dow has gone over two. He flied to left in the second inning and rolled out the pass cloud with a mound in the fifth inning.
It's the National League All Stars two. The American League All Stars one.
All runs coming in the sixth inning.
Two runs on five hits, no errors for the National Leaguers. One run, three hits, no errors for the American League All Stars.
Donovan kicks and throws a strike called a sinking fastball.
Hit the outside corner at the knee.
Donovan has a very pitching assortment, good fastball.
He is off pitch. He has a hard slider.
Has excellent control.
One strike pitch to Crandall. He has lined to right field coming on in a big hurry is Wagner and he makes the catch at the knees for the out.
Crandall hit a sinking line drive into right field. Leon Wagner getting a jump, charged in and grabbed the ball for the out.
Two down for the National League All Stars in the seventh inning.
Second baseman Frank Bowling of the Milwaukee Braves.
Bowling, the star of second baseman of the Detroit Tigers in the American League for several seasons before being traded over to the Milwaukee Braves a year ago.
Frank has had a lot of illness problems this year. Takes a called strike.
Fastball across the knees from Dick Donovan.
Number 21, the National League All Stars lead it.
Donovan checking his sign with battery mate John Romano.
Now into the motion, here's the pitch. Foul at the plate.
Strike two. Defensively the American League has Donovan on the mound. Romano back at the plate.
Gentile at first, Richardson at second, Robinson at third, Aparicio at short, Colabito in left, Landis in center and Wagner in right.
Quiet for the moment, over 45,000 here at the All-Star game.
Here's the pitch to Bowling. Broken bat pop-up back into shallow left. Aparicio going back, shields his eyes from the side.
He makes the catch for the out. And that's all for Frank Bowling.
And the National League All Stars in the seventh inning as they go down in order before Dick Donovan.
No runs, no hits, no errors. Nobody left on.
And so at the end of sixth and what happens, the score is the National League All Stars 2, the American League All Stars 1.
You get excited when you see a home run. You get excited over a new car.
How about getting a new car for $29.64?
Well, how about a full-size Chrysler for $29.64?
Now you're talking.
It's the Chrysler Newport, still only $29.64.
It's one big reason why Chrysler is going great and why thousands of motorists are moving up to Chrysler quality.
Other good reasons, the Newport standard engine delivers 265 horsepower and it uses regular gas.
Really?
How about you? If you've been thinking of moving up to Chrysler, now's the time for action during your Chrysler dealer's All Star value days.
Trading's easy. You'll get a big trade and a great buy.
Test drive the car that's really going great, the Chrysler Newport.
Manufacturers suggested retail price exclusive of destination charges, still only $29.64.
$29.64? That's great!
Here is the American League batting order now after the changes by All Star manager Ralph Hough.
Brooks Robinson leads off at third base. Bobby Richardson at second base batting second.
Jim Landis in center field hitting third. Rocky Colavito bats fourth. Jim Jenteel fifth.
Leon Wagner, the number six hitter, fields a foul into the upper deck of first base.
One strike to Leon. John Romano, the catcher, bats seventh.
Paprizio stays in hitting eighth and the pitcher, Donovan, will bat ninth.
Wagner is 0-2.
Rafe Stonoporsod in the second and he fouled the third in the fourth inning.
Bob Perky ready. He delivers the knuckleball to her and it's one and one.
Bob Fulfins working now. Milton Pappas, young right-hander, the Baltimore Orioles for the American League.
And Bob Shaw, the Milwaukee Braves for the National League.
Perky's knuckler dressed high outside. Ball two, strike one.
Wagner with 25 homeruns. He became the first American League hitter to hit for the cycle as a homerun in each American League ballpark now.
Ball three from Perky. Three and one to count. Two to one to score, the National League lead.
They broke the scoring deadlock with two in their half of the sixth inning. The American League came back with one.
The defensive gem so far, Mays leaping catch against the top of the fence in deep right centers.
Three-one offering coming to Wagner. There's a high fly ball hooking foul way back into the upper deck.
And it's three and two now to Leon Wagner.
They have said about Yankee Stadium that there never has been and probably never will be a fair ball.
Get out of there. I doubt that you could even hit a foul ball out of this one. It's so high.
Three-two to Wagner. Ground ball hit sharply to the second baseman.
Boling to his right. Up first to first. He's out. And there's one out in the seventh inning.
Boling at second. Throws out. Leon Wagner at first.
That'll bring on the catcher, John Romano, the Cleveland Indians.
Two-to-one National League All-Stars made it. Drysdale's back to the National League.
Orr-Charl in the fourth. Perky in the sixth inning.
Jim Budding started for the American Leaguers. Pasquale in the fourth. Dottabon in the seventh.
A check swing. Rolled a strike to John Romano.
Romano at bat for the first time today.
And Bob Perky, side-arming right-hander of Cincinnati.
Perky swings in motion. He throws the curved ball up around the eyes of Romano.
Sent John ducking away and it's one and one.
Ball one and strike one. The count to Romano.
Two-to-one the score. National League leading.
Last of the seventh inning with one out and the base is empty.
Perky swings to his wind-up. Around comes the arm. The knuckleball hits shortly.
Deep to third. Good stop by Davenport. Jim throws to first and Romano's out by five-steps.
Davenport at third. Throws out Romano at first.
Two out in the American League seventh and here's the shortstop.
Luis Aparicio, one for two, a triple in the third inning.
Round it up, short to first in the fifth inning.
And as you might expect from an all-star, any one of these fellows can hit the ball over the fence.
There's a sharp smash, one hop to bowling.
Frank has it. He throws on to first. Aparicio is out.
And it's a strong inning for Bob Perky, setting the American League stars down in order.
No runs, no hits, no errors. Nobody left.
And so at the end of the seventh inning, the score is National League all-stars, two American League all-stars, one.
All-star value days are here from Chrysler Corporation.

The attendance today at EC Stadium for this All-Star game, 25,480,
which is about the illicit peak capacity and the largest crowd ever to see a baseball game in this stadium.
They get more in for football because they had additional seats.
45,480 paid at DC Stadium today.
Here is Marty Wills, the shortstop. He runs up to butt, takes high from Dick Donovan, ball one.
Wills, a switch banner, getting left-handed against the right-hander Dick Donovan.
Ball on the cob. Donovan swings into these, he winds up, spins and throws.
There's a pop-fly into shallow left-center field coming out in a hurry.
Here's Colavito, and he can't get there. The ball drops.
Aparicio picks it up, throws on to second, and Wills holds at first with a Texas League single in the shallow left field.
Aparicio went out. Colavito came in. Colavito was calling for the ball.
He could not catch up to it. It dropped for a single.
Get number six for the National League All-Stars. They lost it.
The American League 6-3 on the day. And they lead 2-1 in the top of the eighth inning.
Third baseman Jim Davenport of the San Francisco Giants.
One of the great glove men in baseball.
Batting off, former football star at Mississippi Southern University.
Donovan checks Wills, delivers as a ground ball through the hole, a base hit to left field.
Wills around second, and he'll hold there. Colavito throws in behind the runner.
Wills drives to third to throw to third. He is safe at third.
Safe at third, and Robinson and Aparicio are good now with the third base up by our Tony Benson of the National League.
Jim Davenport rounded a single between Aparicio and Robinson to left field.
Wills made a big turn around second base. Colavito fired in behind the runner to Bobby Richardson.
Wills broke for third. Richardson threw to Brooks Robinson.
And the tag play on Wills was not in time. So the National League has a big threat throwing.
Runners at first and third, nobody out. And the batter, Salip Alou, the right fielder of the San Francisco Giants.
Donovan checking at first, delivers to Alou, who hits a high fly ball down the right field line.
Maybe fair, maybe foul. Racing for it is Wagner. It's a foul ball. He makes the catch for the out.
Here comes Wills to the plate to throw, and he is safe at the plate. He scores.
But Wills breaks the gutting ball.
It's a run batted in. Scored as a sacrifice fly for Salip Alou.
And he will not be charged for the time at bat. On the throw to the plate, Davenport held it first.
So again, speed was the difference.
As the ball was hit foul down the right field line, Wagner made a good running grab and a good throw to Romano at the plate.
But John's diving tag of Wills not in time as Murray split across.
For the run that makes it, the National League All-Stars 3. The American League All-Stars 1. And here's what he made.
Once again, the National Leaguers have a two run ball. That is hit number two. Two hits now off Dick Donovan.
Davenport at first and one out. The pitch is hung on and Mays fell to one knee.
Well, Willie might not have hit that one out of here if he had connected.
But he did hit it pretty far. The force of his swing dropped him to one knee.
One strike to Willie Mays. He's fouled the first. Locked, fly to center. He has also stolen the base.
The infield is double played up against Mays. He outfield deep toward left.
Donovan to the set position. Checks Davenport. Delivers outside low.
Fitching away from Willie now. The count is even at one and one.
Ball one and strike one to Willie Mays. The National League 3. The American League All-Stars 1.
This has been quite a ball game before 45,480 days. A D.C. Stadium record for baseball.
One and one the count. Donovan ready. Sepsum throws there to drive.
Rips to the backfield. Hooking. Foul. Over the backfield foul deep into the left field corner.
A long strike two to Willie Mays.
Willie got out in front of Donovan's curve ball and ripped it.
But he had it fouled by 15 feet into the left field corner.
Ball one and strike two to Willie Mays. One and two.
3-1 the score of the National League leading the American League All-Stars.
Dick Donovan on the mound. And touched up for a run on two hits.
Here's the pitch to Mays. He reaches for an outside pitch and taps it foul up in the air to the right of the plate.
Romano the catcher grabs it. The ball not hit too high in the air.
And Mays, lunging at an outside pitch, popped it up to the catcher Romano in foul territory off toward the American League All-Stars dugout along the first base side.
So there are two men up. And we're going to get a banner for pitcher Bob Perkey.
John Callison. Johnny Callison, young left-hand hitting outfielder.
He's going to bat for the pitcher Bob Perkey.
Callison for a number of years, an outstanding prospect in the Chicago White Sox minor league organization.
Traded away a couple of years ago and he's become a good one. Swings on the first pitch and fouls it off.
Strike one. Bob Shaw, the right-hander of the Milwaukee Braves.
Well, apparently beyond the pitch for the National League All-Stars in the bottom of the eighth inning.
The National Lakers have a run in. The lead 3-1. They have Davenport at first base with two men out.
Callison batting for the pitcher Bob Perkey. Donovan delivers outside a ball and it's one and one.
Donovan and Callison should know one another. They were teammates together with the Chicago White Sox.
Ball one and strike one to John Callison. Stocky free-swinging left-hand batter.
Donovan to the set position. The check of Davenport. The pitch is popped up. Foul.
Coming back toward the screen. Romano coming back and he can't get it. It lands right on the edge of the screen. Foul.
So Callison stays alive with a counterball one and strike two.
John was born in Wallace, Oklahoma.
23 years old, 5'10", 180 pounder.
He's developed into the ball player of the White Sox.
Thought he well might become when they traded him over to the Phillies.
But the White Sox got Gene Freeze for one in that deal.
And Freeze, that's in fair years with Chicago.
A quick swing by Callison as Donovan tied him up with a fastball in on the thumbs and it's two and two.
Ball two and strike two to John Callison. Batting for the pitcher, Bob Perky.
Romano sets the signs for Donovan. Check of Davenport. The pitch is going on. Ground ball.
Base hit pass. Again, field to right field. Around second. Headed to third is Davenport. He'll make it easily. Wagner's throw comes to the cutoff man, Bobby Richardson.
And the national league now has Callison at first. Davenport at third. Two outs. And the batter is the left fielder, Tom Davis.
Off Dick Donovan. It is base hit number three.
Who came into this game today with a batting average of 353.
While the Los Angeles Dodgers in regular season play has gone over three.
Swings on the first pitch. It's a high fly to shallow setter. Landis trotting in. Jim is there. Makes the catch.
The retire the sides for the National League All-Stars in the eighth inning.
But the National Leaguers pick up a run on three base hits. There were no American League errors. Two runners left on for the National League All-Stars.
And so at the end of seven and a half innings, the score is the National League All-Stars three, the American League All-Stars one.
What's so good about the good old summertime dodge? It's one of the quickest cars on the road.
It gets you to the lake or ball game in nothing flat. Six cylinder or V8, the dark moves with more power than almost any car in its class.
You get a lot more action on a lot less gas. That makes it fun to drive. And it's plenty roomy for those long weekends or vacation trips.
So see your Dodge dealer during All-Star value days. Pick a size. Pick a price. Pick Dodge Dart.
We have a new pitcher in the ball game now for the National League All-Stars.
Right-hander Bob Shaw of the Milwaukee Braves.
And the bat for pitcher Dick Donovan will be first baseman Norm Seaborn of the Kansas City Athletics.
Seaborn, one-time member of the New York Yankees.
Big left-hand batter wears glasses.
The American League All-Stars needing two to tie and three to take the lead.
With two in his left in regulation play.
Leading off from the bottom of the eighth inning against Shaw, it's Norm Seaborn. Shaw to the windup he delivers.
Fouls on the ground to the right of the plate, strike one.
One strike that counts to Norm Seaborn batting for Dick Donovan.
Milton Tapas of the Orioles is the pitcher warming up in the American League bullpen.
He will be on the end of the top of the ninth. Pitch to Seaborn.
Trickle foul, hit him in the foot and roll all the way to Cepeda at first base.
But the ball was rolled foul immediately by Ed Hurley, the plate umpire.
The doggy Donatelli of the National League at first base looks at the ball, discovers the scuff mark or shoe polish mark, and throws it out of play.
The National League got two in the sixth and one in the eighth. The American League won in the sixth inning.
The outfield against Seaborn is deep toward right.
Playing with tremendous power, Shaw delivers. Low inside the ball, one and two, breaking ball.
Shaw, another sinker ball specialist, started off with the Detroit Tiger organization, then dealt to the White Sox on to Kansas City, and then over to Milwaukee last winter.
Shaw nods in agreement to the sign posted by Del Crandall, swings in motion and delivers.
Down ball hits sharply wide at first. Banks has it. Robsy's toss to Shaw inside. Seaborn is out.
And there's one out here in the bottom of the eighth inning.
That'll bring on Brooks Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles.
Playing a third base now, Mitch Rollins, sighted. And there's Robinson, first appearance at the right.
Robinson of the Magic Club. He's strong.
He has hit 14 home runs for the Orioles this year.
The outfield shades him slightly toward left and deep. Kenfield set up the same way.
One out, nobody on. Shaw into the windup. The pitch is a strike call.
Fast ball hit the outside corner above the knees. Nothing in one account.
Shaw and Crandall, the battery. Crandall has gone all the way back to the plate for the National League All-Stars.
And here's the pitch from Shaw. Look out. And that hit Robinson.
And Robby is setting up at the plate as Shaw decked him with a fast ball.
And Robinson is showing trainer Joe Soares of the New York Yankees where that ball hit him.
Ralph House, the American League manager, comes out.
He appeared to hit Robinson in the vicinity of the left bicep under the shoulder.
This is a real hummer from Shaw. This got away. Robinson's up.
He had a batter's box, but the ball hit him.
Second hit batsman of the day for the American League.
Rich Rollins was hit by dry sail in the first inning.
Robinson is all right. On at first, the batter Bobby Richardson of the Yankees swings and pops a foul.
A lot of play. And behind the American League dugout.
Again, President Kennedy stands up, keeping a wetter eye out.
The gentleman down there with a straw hat has a glove seated one seat away from President Kennedy.
Apparently he has the gloves for the protection of the president.
Touch to Richardson. A shot drive. One hop to the truck stop.
Wills goes to bowling out at second. Back to first. Not in time.
No double play, but forced at second was Brooks Robinson as Laurie Wills went quickly to his right into the hole to pick up the one hop smash off Richardson's bat.
He whirled and fired the bowling at second for the force out on Brooks Robinson.
The relay throw to first, not in time to double up the fleet.
Bobby Richardson and here's Jim Landis for the Chicago White Sox, the back for the first time.
The pitcher's off record right now. The win would go to Juan Mari Chau of the San Francisco Giants.
The loss would be charged to Camilo Pasqual of the Minnesota Twins.
Nationally, the golf stars lead it 3-1.
Bottom of the eighth inning, Landis represents the tying run at the plate.
He swings and slices a foul down the right field line. Thanksgiving chase.
And he won't get it. It's 20 rows back in the seats.
In the event you missed it, 45,480. The biggest crowd ever to see a baseball game in D.C. Stadium.
They had upwards of 44,000 for the opening here back on the 9th of April when the Senators make this ballpark their home, played the Detroit Tigers.
One strike to pitch to Landis is low of all.
Both ends are quiet now. Pappas is warmed and will be on to pitch top of the ninth inning for the American League golf stars.
3-1, the National League All-Stars lead it. Landis at the plate. One and one the cup. Richardson leads it first to pitch his slashed foul.
Fast third base coach, manager Billy Hitchcock of the Orioles.
Mickey Vernon, skipper of the Washington Senators, one of the finest men in baseball, coaching it first.
One and two, the cup to Jim Landis. Bobby Richardson, the runner at first.
And with two off, Ernie Banks is not holding tight to the bag against the runner.
Playing in behind him, pitch to Landis. A looper foul. It will be out of play.
Again down the right field side, Ernie Banks gives chase.
Banks who belies his great power when you look at him. He's tall, very crumbly built.
Doesn't appear to have the strength to hit the ball as far as he does, but he has great wrists.
Pitch to Landis is too high, just missing. Shaw started toward the National League dugout. He thought he had Landis struck out.
A day tailor-made for the All-Star game. Temperature at noon was 78.
I imagine now it's up to about 82, no more. Pleasantly comfortable, sun shining brilliantly. Beautiful setting.
The pitch is low, ball three and it's three and two. Shaw dealt Landis a curve down into the dirt.
Blocked well by Del Crandall. And now with two out and a 3-2 count to Landis. Richardson, the runner at first, can break.
The outfield against Landis, almost straight away in deep. Three to one, the National League All-Stars lead it.
We're in the eighth inning. There goes Richardson, 3-2 to Landis. Swing to the miss, he's stuck him out to retire the side.
Jim Landis goes down swinging. Bob Shaw's first strikeout. And for the National American League in the eighth inning, no runs, no base hits, no National League errors.
One runner left off. And so at the end of the eighth inning, the score is the National League All-Stars three, the American League All-Stars one.
Powerful, quick, a real performer. America's first sports compact, the Dodge Lancer GT.
Open the door of this sporty-spirited Lancer. Settle back in one of the twin contour bucket seats. You'll feel luxury in every detail.
Lancer's your kind of car and plenty easy to own during your Dodge dealer's All-Star value day.
Fun time, thunder time, best time to buy, best time to drive a Dodge Lancer, a Dodge Lancer.
Your kind of compact with Chrysler Corporation's advanced engineering features, unibody construction and seven-soak rust proofing to make Lancer your kind of compact in all kinds of weather.
And now during your dealer's All-Star value days, you get the best deal on all Dodge cars, the biggest trades.
Take a size, take a price, take Dodge Lancer, another of the great action cars from Chrysler Corporation.
By request, Casey Stengel, manager of the New York Mets of the National League and coaching at first base today,
was invited into the box of President John F. Kennedy to have his picture taken with the President. And Casey now is explaining it all to Augie Donatelli, umpire at first base.
Let's enter Sandy Kovacs beginning to warm up for the National League All-Stars in the bullpen.
We have a new pitcher for the American League All-Stars, the young right-hander Milton Pappas of the Baltimore Orioles.
Dick Donovan pitches the seventh and eighth innings, and in two innings he gave up one run. It was earned on three hits.
Donovan did not block anybody, nor did he strike on anyone.
Pappas will pitch to Ernie Banks, Del Prandtl, and Frank Bowie if they all hit.
Here in the top of the ninth inning, the National League All-Stars leading three to one.
Pappas first pitch is hung on. There's a high fly to left field coming on is Colabito.
Getting there makes the catch for the out, and Banks is retired on one hit.
It's all Ernie O for two. He got it out third to first in the seventh inning.
One out in the ninth, and the batter is catcher Del Prandtl.
The other National League All-Star catcher is John Roseborough of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Ralph Hauk has the used Earl Batty of the Minnesota Twins, and John Romano of the Indians.
He also has available to him Elston Howard of his own Yankees.
Prandtl is bad against Pappas.
The catch for Milton is a tall strike. Change of speed as Pappas took something off his fastball.
Get the inside corner above the knee. Pappas works quickly, comes back with a fastball high, leaving the count at one and one.
Running fastball, Donovan and Pappas, that fits for the American League.
One-one pitch coming from Milton. Curved back Prandtl out of the plate, and it's two and one.
The National League All-Stars three, the American League All-Stars one.
We're in the top of the ninth inning. The American League All-Stars with one more shot in the bottom of the ninth.
Here's the two-one pitch, tap foul. Off the hand, the third base coach, Johnny Keene.
John, who manages the St. Louis Cardinals.
Ball two and strike two to Del Prandtl.
Pappas into the windup, he throws. Fastball, hit up in the air.
Second baseman Bobby Richardson waiting under it. Backs up a couple of steps, he has it, and Prandtl has gone 0-4.
The American League All-Stars now have left-hander Hank Aguirre and right-hander Ralph Terry beginning to throw.
And Gary of the Tigers and Terry of the Yankees.
The batter is second baseman Frank Bowling. If he gets on, the shortstop Marty Wills to bat.
Pappas delivers too high, a ball.
Three runs on eight hits, no errors for the National League Stars. One run, only three hits.
No errors for the American League All-Stars.
Touched the ball, Bowling is flung on, hits straight away to center.
Now moving to his left and in is Landis. He makes the catch and a strong inning for Milt Pappas as he retires the side in order.
For the National League in the ninth inning, no runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left on.
So at the end of eighth and one-half an ease of play, it's the National League All-Stars three, the American League All-Stars one.
And coming to the bottom of the ninth inning, the American League All-Stars will have the heart of their batting order up against right-hander Bob Shaw, the Milwaukee Braves, Rocky Colavito, Jim Gentile, and Leon Wagner, the first three.
And this has been quite a ball game at G.C. Stadium for the largest crowd ever to see a baseball game in this magnificent new ballpark.
Someone apparently had a leftover firecracker from the fourth.
Shaw throwing down to his catcher, Del Crandall.
The American League hits, three of them, a triple by Aparicio off Dryasdale in the third.
That opened the inning and then Dryasdale bore down and got the next three men.
Lee Thomas batted for Bunning and popped out. Rich Rollins popped out and Billy Moran struck out.
And in the sixth inning, the American League got a Tony run when Rollins singled Dryasdale.
Moran setting the third with a sing to the left center.
Then Willie Mays made the catch of the day, a leaping grab against the top of the 7th and right fairfield. That might have been a home run. And Mays not made the play.
The game is being delayed by the same thing that happened very often.
A young man decided to go out and have a chat with Willie Mays and not waste the ballgame. It's over.
It's all just being distorted from the premises by the park police.
Shaw continues to warm up with his catcher, Del Crandall.
A left-hander and a right-hander in the American League both hand, and Gary and Terry, and left-hander Kovacs in the National League both hand.
Colavito has set up one and bounded off set to the first. Shaw ended the wind up and throws the lead up high ball one.
Three to one, the National League All-Stars leading. The American League has to come up with two at least to stay alive in this game.
The pitch fouled on the ground over towards the National League dugout.
To even account at ball one and strike one, the Rocky Colavito.
For the most part, the pitching has predominated.
Game was scoreless for the first five innings.
And the Nationals got two in the sixth. The American League had got their run in the sixth.
The National League added a run in the eighth inning.
And so Fred Hutchinson and his National League stars have the insurance run. There's a fastball too low. Colavito ball two, strike one.
First the American League All-Star team misses the presence of a great ball player like Al Kailin over the Detroit Tigers.
Injured, ball three is up high and inside to Colavito.
The crowd is three and one to Rocky who now cuts his eyes to Billy Hitchcock.
Coaching his third base for a sign on the three one fifth.
Into the windup is Shaw and the pitch coming. Ball four, he walks Colavito to strike the bottom of the ninth inning.
Here's Bob Shaw's first pass and here is Jim Gentile who has gone all the way at first base for the American League today.
Gentile walked in the second, he flied to left in the fourth and he took a called third strike in the sixth inning.
Colavito leading at first, the pitch to Gentile, spun on a ground ball pass of outstrikes by Bowling.
He walks to second, the fourth player, no play on Gentile as Colavito is forced on a slow roller to Frank Bowling at second base.
Bowling lobbing to Wills for the force out on Colavito. Gentile reaching on the fourth play.
Now with one out, here's Leon Wagner. Started the game playing left field.
And Mickey Mantle left in place of Rocky Colavito. Wagner moved to right with Colavito taking over in left field.
Wagner, 0 for 3. Pitch to him, foul straight back, got a play, strike one.
One strike to Cubs. Ball got away from Bob Shaw, come on. Maury Wills raced in to pick it up.
Gentile the runner at first base with one out in the last of the ninth inning.
And the National League All-Stars lead 3-1.
Shaw to the set position, he delivers. There's a high fly ball down the left field line.
Racing for it is the left fielder Davis and it's a foul ball and Davis grabs it for the out.
A good play by Tom Davis, a throw back to first is knocked down by the pitcher Bob Shaw
to prevent an overthrow by Tom Davis attempting to double up.
Gentile the runner at first. Tom Davis had a long run for that ball and made a good catch down near the box deep ridding.
The American League now down to its final out with John Romano at the plate.
Gentile the runner at first base and two outs. The score is 3-1 the National League lead.
Time called, Romano backs out, he has something in his eye.
President Kennedy is staying right to the end.
Leading back to the American League dugout, here's the pitch to Romano. Change up over the head of John for a ball.
One ball to count to John Romano.
Romano's been up once, he grounded up third to first.
Shaw checks Gentile, the pitch swung on, ground ball, base hit in the left field.
The American League stays alive as Gentile moves to second and holds.
And the American League All-Stars have the tying runs on.
And the batter is the shortstop, Luis Aparicio.
Hit number one off Shaw and the base hit number four is a ball game for the American League All-Stars.
Aparicio has one of the four, a triple, hammered into the alley and right center in the third inning.
Since that he's grounded to short and grounded to second, one for three, Luis.
Gentile the runner at second, Romano the runner at first, and Aparicio at the plate takes outside, ball one.
And Del Frandel runs the ball out now to pitcher Bob Shaw.
Well at the moment the American League All-Stars do not have great speed on the bases.
Neither Gentile nor Romano, above average speed.
But Aparicio at the plate, he can move with the best.
One up, he pitched to the way, outside, ball two.
And Romano has quite tried to hit the outside corner away from Aparicio and missed the pitch.
Two on and two out in the last of the ninth inning.
The tying runs are on base for the American League All-Stars.
They trail the National League three to one.
Two and O the couch, shot at his set position, check of Gentile, the pitch coming, there's a high drive to deep right center field.
He's not at Maze, he's setting there, he has it and the ball game's over.
Aparicio flies deep to Willie Maze in right center field for the final out of the game.
And in the ninth inning, the American League All-Stars, no runs, one base hit, no National League errors, two runners left on.
And the final score, the National League All-Stars, three runs, eight hits, no errors, the National League left five men on base.
The American League All-Stars, one run, four hits, no errors, and the American League left seven men stranded.
In a moment, we'll review the highlights of the game for you.
If you're the kind of a man who enjoys the very best, you'll enjoy the magnificent Imperial, America's most carefully built car.
And to prove it, we'd be pleased to arrange a thorough comparison drive for you as we have for key executives of America's leading corporations.
Most of the people who have already taken the test drive have found that Imperial was everything we claimed.
So why don't you make this comparison drive? Your Imperial dealer will be happy to arrange it.

Now it's a pleasure to turn you back to my broadcasting partner for this All-Star game. For a recap of this game, Lindsay Nelson.
Thanks very much, John McLean. The starting pitcher is Jim Bunning and Don Drysdale.
Set the tone of the game at the start. Bunning in three innings allowed no runs, only two hits, a double and a single by Clemente.
Drysdale allowed no runs, only one hit. Avery Seale led off in the bottom half of the third with a triple, but Drysdale got the next three.
The first scoring came in the top half of the sixth inning when manager Fred Hutchinson sent Steph Seale up the bat for one Marischal.
And he got a single and Maury Wills was inserted to run for Musial and Wills promptly stole second base.
Dick Grote single on the ground up the middle, scoring to Speedy Wills. Clemente single, his third hit of the day.
And then Mays flat to deep center field, runners advancing to second and third after the catch. It was that deep.
Cepeda grounded out from third to first, but Grote scored on the end field out.
And then Davis grounded out to end the inning with the National League without in front by a score of two to nothing.
Coming right back in the bottom half of the sixth inning, the American League hopped on Bob Perkey,
greeting him with successive singles by Rich Rollins and Billy Moran.
Rollins scoring to third on the single by Moran. And then Rollins scored on a fly to center by Roger Maris.
A tremendous catch made by Willie Mays in the deepest part of the ballpark against the low wire fence.
That was the only run scored after the catch in the bottom half of the sixth by the American League.
And then in the eighth inning, the insurance run was added by the Nationals when Maury Wills dropped to Texas League single to left,
Davenport single to left, and when Colabita threw in behind Wills to second base, Wills went on to third, sliding in safely.
And then he scored on a sacrifice foul fly down the right field line off the bat of Philippe Ballou.
That made the score to three to one, and that's the way it stood.
The fielding player of the day, the catch by Willie Mays in center field in the sixth inning on the long drive by Roger Maris.
One of the highlights of the day, the penchant by Sam Musial, who sets new records every time he comes up.
This was his 22nd All-Star game, his 19th season of All-Star participation.
And a stolen base by Maury Wills was a highlight. He leads the National League in stolen bases with 46. He leads the Major League.
On hand today, 45,480 fans on a perfect baseball afternoon in the Nation's capital with President John F. Kennedy on hand.
He stayed for the entire contest, Vice President Johnson here, and of course, military leaders and distinguished baseball men from around the Nation.
In that All-Star competition now, the American League has won 16, the National League has won 15, and there has been one tie game.
Final totals for this, the 32nd All-Star game, the National League, three runs on eight hits and no errors.
The American League, one run only, four hits and no errors.
The winning pitcher, Juan Marischal of the San Francisco Giants, the losing pitcher, Camila Pasqual of the Minnesota Twins.
And that just about wraps up the first 1962 All-Star game.
