00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:16,000
The 1976 Major League Baseball All-Star game took place at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia on Tuesday, July 13th, 1976.

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
This was the third All-Star game to be played in Philadelphia, but the first at Veterans Stadium.

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
The game was held at Shy Park in both 1943 and 52.

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
This was the first All-Star game that featured both O Canada and the Star Spangled Banner during the pre-game ceremonies.

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Even though the Montreal Expos had been in the league since 1969, the American League planned to expand into Toronto with the Blue Jays in 1977,

7
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
so it took this opportunity to start this new tradition.

8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000
The American League starting lineup included two future Hall of Famers, Rod Carew at first and George Brett at third.

9
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,000
They were managed by the Red Sox' Daryl Johnson, who would start Detroit rookie phenom Mark the Bird Fittich on the mound.

10
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Mark entered the game with a 9-2 record, which included nine complete games and his 11 starts.

11
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
The National League was managed by Sparky Anderson, who led the Reds to the championship in 1975,

12
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,000
and they were still flying high in 1976 with the 53-33 record entering the break.

13
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
This game featured seven Cincinnati batters, including five that were in the starting lineup.

14
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:22,000
This audio recording is from the CBS Radio broadcast featuring announcers Jack Buck, Brent Musburger, and Andy Musser.

15
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Randy Jones, the left-hander, a 16-game winner, will pitch to Ron LaFleur.

16
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
The thing about Jones is he seldom gives you anything good to hit.

17
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
He won't let you hit his fastball. He's a secret ball pitcher.

18
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000
He keeps those infielders busy, rolls his in at third base.

19
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,000
As Frank Robinson coaches at first base and Gene Mark coaches at third for Daryl Johnson.

20
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:50,000
The umpire waits until the field is clear, and then he says, play ball, and the 47th annual All-Star game is underway.

21
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
The first pitch is low, ball one.

22
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,000
And most of the pitches from Randy Jones will be right down around the knees.

23
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Here it comes, swing and a foul at the feet of the catcher, Johnny Bench, one ball, one strike.

24
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:14,000
They say that Jones' strike zone is from below the knee to the top of the knee, and I don't think they stretch the point very much.

25
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
One ball, one strike from the floor. They play him straight away with the left fielder, Luzinski, deep.

26
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
The curveball is hit on the ground, through the hole, and a left up base hit.

27
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
And that's the way it starts, and the speedy Ron LaFleur is on base.

28
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Luzinski gets it back in, and that's reflective of what we're talking about.

29
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
The tiny ball ball and the fastball between the two.

30
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:43,000
That's exactly what you were pointing out just prior to the start of the game, Jack, with Randy Jones not being the strikeout pitcher

31
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,000
and inviting the ball players to hit the ball on the ground. They could get them through in the hole, as they did.

32
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Jones is a nut-head.

33
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Now, let's see if we can get a few of these things in the hole.

34
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,000
One strike to count on Karoo.

35
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,000
I think Jones came pretty close to a balk move that time, but nothing was called.

36
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:30,000
A lead by the runner, the pitch to the plate, and the curveball stays inside to even it up, the ball and the strike on Karoo.

37
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000
The on-deck hitter is George Brett.

38
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:39,000
And even though the National League is favored, a lot of people like the chances of the American League this year

39
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
because of the speed and power that they have that they didn't have before.

40
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
The pitch is up and in. Two balls and a strike. Bench came up ready to throw.

41
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,000
The interesting thing you see, LaFleur with his great speed and Bench with his fine throwing arm match up here.

42
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Come on, Ron, go ahead and run.

43
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Two balls and a strike, the pitch and a swing, and a double play ball.

44
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000
To Morgan, to Concepcion, over to Perce, a double play.

45
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
That was made to order. A big bounce to Morgan.

46
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,000
And despite the running speed of Karoo, who knew that he had plenty of time and they turned it over easily.

47
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Four, six, three, two out, and George Brett is the batter.

48
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:24,000
So Jack Fox, Marty Anderson can start with Morgan and Concepcion, and then late in the game he can switch to the Philadelphia and field.

49
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000
He can have Cash in second and Boyd short, and those are men who have worked together all along.

50
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000
He's not going to lose a thing when he puts in those substitutes, and now the base is empty.

51
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,000
And there again is another of the secrets of Jones pitching. You get on base and he'll throw that double play ball.

52
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Here is ball one loaded George Brett, who has the most hits this year of any player in either lineup, with a total of 122.

53
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
The Kansas City infielder is batting 365.

54
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Now if you'll place him to the opposite field, the pitch from Jones is a curve ball that misses.

55
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:01,000
It's inside for ball two. Jones, as you know, seldom walks anybody, so Brett can look for something to hit right here.

56
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:07,000
But even when he's behind on the count, he won't give in. The pitch is high for a ball, ball three.

57
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000
I get to walk him just to make me look bad.

58
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Two men out, nobody on base. First inning, the American League batting, Jones pitching to Brett in his low ball, before he draws the walk.

59
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,000
So, the second base runner of the opening inning, and that gives the number four hitter, Thurman Munson, a chance to bat.

60
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,000
The Yankee catcher is batting 319.

61
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Most everybody, Brent, is a threat at the plate to hit the long ball in this ballpark.

62
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Well, particularly Thurman Munson is having an excellent year with the bat, Jack Burke, even though he was injured in a collision at home play,

63
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Charlie Spikes of the Cleveland Indians charged into him a couple of weeks ago.

64
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:56,000
He had to play some games in the outfield. He's back now behind the plate. I think we'll see the National League try to test his throwing on.

65
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:06,000
On at first base is George Brett. Jones checks him, brings it into the right-handed batter, Munson. He hits it up the middle, and it's fielded by Concepcion to Morgan for a force-out,

66
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:16,000
and the inning is over. And you can tell by the coolness of the infielders that they've been through the heavy fireworks before in that Cincinnati ball club.

67
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:23,000
One hit and one left for the American League after one half inning, no score.

68
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Well, we're anxious to catch the act of Mark Pidrich, the right-hander of the Detroit Tigers, who is affectionately called the Bird.

69
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:45,000
I have never seen him hit myself. Brandy spells his name, F-I-D-R-Y-C-H. He was born in Worcester, Mass., lives in Northboro, and he is 9-2, and only the second rookie to ever start an All-Star game.

70
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:58,000
And Jack the First, of course, was Dave Stenhouse of Washington in back in 1968. You have not seen Pidrich or Innes retreat, but what I want to see tonight is whether or not he will go through all of the antics in front of an All-Star game.

71
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Will he talk to the baseball as much as he has during the first half of the season?

72
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:15,000
We'll see if he's intimidated by his surroundings. George Brett, the third baseman, is over to talk to the youngster, and the leadoff man is going to be Pete Rose, who possesses 117 base hits already this year.

75
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds, the switch hitters, will be up there batting left-handed against Pidrich, the tall right-hander, who is 6'3".

76
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:55,000
The catcher is Thurman Munson. They have Brett at third base for the American League, with Toby Harrah at shortstop, the second baseman Bobby Gritch and Rod Carew at first.

77
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:02,000
On the floors and left, Freddie Lynn in center field, and the right fielder is Rusty Stout.

78
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,000
John McNamara coaches at third base. He's the manager of the San Diego Padres.

79
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:15,000
The Philadelphia manager is the first base coach, and the first pitch of the night from Mark Pidrich is on the way.

80
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:22,000
And it stays outside. It's ball one, according to Harry Wendelstedt, the playdumb player.

81
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:29,000
They play Rose about straight away, and he swings and gets a base hit to center. A line drive single to center.

82
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Brett Lynn gets it back in, and Pete Rose is safely on, and I'm sure that the American Leaguers are saying, come on, Mark, hold us in.

83
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:43,000
We've lost enough of these games as of late. Four in a row they've lost to the National League.

84
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Jack, Mark has spent so much energy the last couple of days just talking to media representatives here in Philadelphia.

85
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:57,000
He has entertained everyone at the press conference. He was a nonstop talker for about 30 minutes, and he kept it up for another hour.

86
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,000
He's going to be a very tired young man tonight. Rose takes his lead. Seldom does any running.

87
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Steve Garvey is the batter. The Dodger first baseman takes a pitch which sinks low, ball one.

88
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:12,000
A little more power at the plate now on the first with Garvey. Seven home runs and even 300 batting mark.

89
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,000
He was the most valuable player in the All-Star game a couple of years ago. Strong right-handed batter.

90
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
They're playing the ball. The pitch coming, and it's low for a ball. Ball two.

91
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:30,000
So, Fenrich gave up a base hit to feed Rose, and he used two balls, no strikes on Steve Garvey with Joe Morgan on deck.

92
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000
What a great night for baseball at this time of year in Philadelphia.

93
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Garvey hits one in the right field. Rusty Stobb on the move. Can't get it.

94
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Base hit, and it goes to the wall. Stobb falls down, and Rose is going to score.

95
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Garvey's going to end up at third base. Rose scores. Standing up. One-nothing actually. Garvey has heard nobody else.

96
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,000
And Jack, there we saw one of the problems presented by the artificial playing surface.

97
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:03,000
The ball was stroked out into right field. It started to curve as Rusty Stobb was coming over.

98
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:09,000
It struck in front of him and bounced away quickly, and as Stobb fell, the ball rolled back to the wall.

99
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
And by the time he could retrieve it, the National League had scored.

100
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:18,000
That's the problem for outfielders on the Astro Derby. You get too close to this baseball, and it'll bounce over your head.

101
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Now the infield is playing back. Off the stretch is Fenrich Morgan, the batter, and he swings and misses.

102
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Strike one. Garvey's at third. Nobody else.

103
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Garvey is now five out of eight in National League play.

104
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:40,000
They give him a three-base hit all the way. Morgan trying to get the run home. He swings and pops it up.

105
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,000
That will not get the run home with nobody out. I don't think Garvey will try it.

106
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Stobbs under the ball, makes the catch, and stays at third as the throw comes in.

107
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:57,000
And he throws strikes. Not throws strikes in the play, but Garvey stayed at third, and it'll be up to George Foster with one out to chase Garvey home from third.

108
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:09,000
George Foster is enjoying a remarkable season for the Cincinnati Reds. Jack Plyer, the game's Marky Anderson, was saying that he thinks Foster this year is the most improved player in the National League.

109
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Brother, can he get those runs home? He's driven in 72 this year. He has more runs added in than any player on the field here tonight.

110
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:22,000
He has drilled 17 home runs, and when he hits the ball, it just goes and goes and goes.

111
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:30,000
He's slender, but he's strong. The infield is still back, so a ground ball to anybody who's at the third baseman or first baseman will get the runner home.

112
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Strike one called as Fidrich gets ahead, and he could go for the strikeout here. He needs it.

113
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Off the stretch, a check on Garvey, the pitch to Foster, and a ground ball will get the runner home. It's hit to the second baseman, Grip. He's up. He throws two out, but it's good or nothing as Garvey caught it home.

114
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:57,000
I was sort of surprised here on the after court that they played the infielders back as far as they did to allow the run score, and here's a big hand for Drake Lizinski.

115
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Lizinski has scored the only starter in the Philadelphia Phillies lineup, the big favorite. What a team they've got this year, Jack. A 10-game lead here at the All-Star Game. Blake and the Pirates have played very well.

116
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Lizinski on the first one pops it up. It'll be caught. Foul ball, Karou, chases it. That will end the first inning, and Rod has it for the off, but the National League has jumped on top.

117
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Two runs, two hits, nobody left after one, two-nothing National League.

118
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Campaign 76, the Democratic National Convention, led by Claire Gordon in New York.

119
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:47,000
Jack, you know it's a privilege tonight to have this game carried around the world by the American Forces Radio. We've been listened to by servicemen on either side of the globe, and I know that many of your games, your St. Louis Cardinal broadcasts, have already been carried across the world, and occasionally you hear from servicemen over there.

120
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Yes, we do, and we're always pleased to hear from the folks, and we better include the gals in there, Brent, too.

121
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000
I've forgotten. They've changed the Army today.

122
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:10,000
I was surprised, Brent, with a runner on it third and one out, that the American League played it as loosely as they did with the second baseman and shortstop as deep as they were on this fast turf. They seemed to give up that run very, very easily. Had they been playing in, the run would not have scored.

123
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,000
They must be expecting an explosion here with the bats.

124
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:28,000
I guess they think they can score runs of their own, and Fred Lynn will lead it off. In the first inning, the American League had a base hit by Ron LaFleur, a double play off the batter of Rod Carew, George Brett DeRualk, and then Munson forced him with a ground ball to shortstop.

125
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:39,000
So it's Fred Lynn, the Rookie of the Year last year in the American League, leading off, and he's up to his old tricks, batting 324. Left-handed batter, first pitch, swing and a miss, on the curveball from Randy Jones.

126
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:51,000
And the National Leaguers are up to their old tricks. They're out in front, 2-0 after one. Outfield straightaway for Lynn, Jones brings it in, fastball is hit on the ground foul, and that's strike two, Garvey gets it back into play.

127
00:13:51,000 --> 00:14:04,000
It'll be Lynn, then Toby Hara, then Rusty Staub. Staub made the mistake in that opening inning of getting a little bit too close to that ball. He thought he could catch it, and when he was unable to do so, it bounced by him for a three-base hit.

128
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:15,000
A foul by Lynn keeps him at the plate. No balls, two strikes. And frequently when Randy Jones is pitching, you'll look up and you'll see that count, no balls, two strikes.

129
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:28,000
And then he'll get you to go for that sicker ball, or the bad fastball off the plate. He'll seldom let you hit his fastball. The pitch coming, curve, and a little tap foul, still on two.

130
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Several players, Jack, have made derogatory comments about the velocity of Jones' pitches, but I think it is a testament to what you can do with good control and the good sicker ball.

131
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:48,000
And a lot of youngsters who don't have that overpowering fastball should follow his lead. The pitcher curveball is popped straight up by Fred Lynn. It's a foul ball back near the stands.

132
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:58,000
This bench has a crack at it near the dugout, and one-handed by Garvey. He the one could have caught it, but Garvey did, and Lynn has fouled out.

133
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:13,000
I'll tell you this about Randy Jones. If you think he doesn't have a fastball, start crowding the plate and reaching for that outside pitch, and he'll spin you around and show you a little better fastball than he does when he wants you to hit his fastball.

134
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:27,000
The batter is Toby Harrah. Here's a shortstop with power. That's an unusual commodity. He is belted eight for the Rangers and batting 278. Right-handed batter, the pitch is low ball.

135
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Johnny Bench behind the plate. Rose guards the line with Harrah at the plate, and Concepcion is in the hole. The pitch is swung on and hit to Rose on one bounce. Plenty of time. He throws him out. Seagull.

136
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:53,000
Jones keeps those infielders busy, and Rose throws out Harrah. Rusty Stobb will bat with the bases empty. Here's the fellows at the privilege of being on three National League All-Star games, and now he wears the uniform of the Detroit Tigers.

137
00:15:53,000 --> 00:16:02,000
In the offseason, he was traded for pitcher Mickey Lulich. He got off to a terrible start with the New York Mets, but he's been coming on. A lot of it, Jack, was lack of support. The Mets didn't score for him.

138
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:14,000
He's a tough out. The first pitch is outside from Randy Jones. You'd expect Rusty to take this pitcher up the middle or go the other way, and he's capable of that. Or he can hit with power. He's hit six home runs. Strike called.

139
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Off the inside corner. Jack, it's amazing to me that a player who's as good as Rusty Stobb has been traded as many times as he has. Here's the pitch, and it is a curve ball inside. Ball two, two and one.

140
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Started with Houston, and then it was with Montreal and the New York Mets, and now with the Detroit Tigers. He's choked up on the bat a bit and takes a strike over the inside corner. He bailed out on a curve ball, and Jones dropped it over the edge. Two balls, two strikes.

141
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Bases empty. Two men out as the American League bats second inning, two nothing National League. Fastball inside as Jones tried to slip it by him. He throws so slowly that when he throws his fastball, it looks like Bob Feller cut it loose.

142
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:11,000
It's a full count and the pitch, and a line drive base hit to right. Stobb singles with two men out, giving Bobby Gritch a chance to hit, and that's the second hit for the American League, and that's another part of Jones' philosophy.

143
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Three and two, here, hit it. He won't put you down. Let the fielders do the work, which has of course contributed greatly to his 16 victories as he comes into this All-Star game. That is the most victories by any pitcher at an All-Star break.

144
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:38,000
Bobby Gritch is the batter, and the American League could use some of his power, and he is capable. He has hit seven home runs. A right-handed batter, the first pitch coming. It's a ball, low and outside as Jones turned it over.

145
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:51,000
He ran away from the right-handed batter a bit. They play Gritch to pull. The Bluzinski back near the track and left field. Here it comes, and it's high and away, and that's ball two.

146
00:17:51,000 --> 00:18:00,000
The National Leaguers are leading here, two to nothing in the second inning. Stobb on it first for the American League, two out, and Gritch waiting at the plate and digging in.

147
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:10,000
A 2-0 count and a ground ball and a half swing to the charging Concepcion. He throws him out. I had to chuckle because even on 2-0 Gritch didn't get a good swing.

148
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:17,000
6-3 on the putout, a hit and one left, two left for the American League. They trail after an inning and a half, two to nothing.

149
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Campaign 76, the Democratic National Convention. Back here in Philadelphia, and right now Mark Federich is out there warming up, and Jack so far he has not been talking to the baseball.

150
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:50,000
We've seen none of the antics which has attracted so much attention. Here at the ballpark they point out that baseball has dedicated this All-Star game to the United States Navy, where we are hopeful of having the pleasure of visiting with a U.S. Navy representative here during the course of the game.

151
00:18:50,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Brent Busberg, your home is Billings, Montana, and tomorrow night an old friend of ours, Max Petkin, will be up there entertaining at the ballpark. He is a great performer, I guess one of the last of the old-time clowns.

152
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:15,000
I remember Price was a performer. He used to travel around with a Jeep and catch a lot of flyballs. Max of course goes out, I think he does a little coaching during the game. He's trying to get Bill Beck to put him on the third base line back in Chicago.

153
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:28,000
He's going to be in Billings tomorrow and Denver on Thursday and El Paso, Texas on the 16th. Johnny Bench lays it off for the National League, National League on top to the melting. They bat in the home half of the second inning.

154
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Bench has belted nine thus far. First pitch to him from Fidrich is low for a ball. It will be Bench, Kingman, and Concepcion. And of course the pitchers will bat, this being a National League ballpark. Here is a strike call as Fidrich got his fastball in there.

155
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:59,000
He does not have an overpowering fastball. He has a good sinker ball as does Randy Jones. He's a slider pitcher. Swing and a miss. Foul tip into the glove of the catcher. Permanence and one ball, two strikes. I think Mark was beginning to talk just a little bit more that time.

156
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:21,000
He's loosening up a little bit now. Bench leading off, takes it low for a ball, two and two. Fidrich looks at the scoreboard to check the count. Nobody on or out here in the home half of the second. The pitch. Bench quirks one in the left and that's a base hit in front of the left fielder. The four gets it back. Now I tell you, Bench really hung out a rope.

157
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:37,000
He should have. Jack, let's pause ten seconds for station identification. This is the CBS Radio Network. All American country. WTHI Terre Haute.

158
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Jack with Johnny Bench on first base is a guy who's a threat to power one out. Dave Kingman. He lets a high foul ball that will be caught by Rod Carew. The first pitch from Fidrich got him out and there's one gone. Kingman was a threat to make it four to nothing here, but it's still two to nothing as he fouls out.

159
00:20:53,000 --> 00:21:10,000
And Concepcion is the batter. Watch John McNamara coaching down at third base to see if we can pick up any of the signs, but it looks like they have nothing going. I happen to know the signs. Somebody squealed to me, Brent.

160
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:24,000
That must have been baked McBuy. The Cardinals. No, no, I won't tell you anyhow. Bench is going. Swing and a base hit up the middle will send Bench on to third base without a play and it's first and third with one man out. Evidently I missed the sign.

161
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:41,000
A hit run single by Concepcion. Bench goes to third. The pitcher Randy Jones is due to hits. Parky Anderson, the manager of the squad, talks to him. And Jones will bat for himself.

162
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Now there have been four hits by the National Leaguers, two in each inning and Fidrich isn't pulling anybody. It looks like they've been hitting his fastball. Exactly. Jackie has not been overpowered here tonight. One other thing about the young man. He's been rushing his pitches more than he normally does.

163
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:07,000
I caught him against the Boston Red Sox one night up in Fenway Park and then I've seen him work in Tiger Stadium. And when he's at his best, he takes his time. He's more deliberate than he has been here so far.

164
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:23,000
John McNamara coaching a third is talk to Jones and now he talks to Bench and we might see Jones bump the ball here to try to move the runner down to second without trying to squeeze Bench home from third, a throw to first and it's late.

165
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:35,000
First and third with one man out here in the second inning. Concepcion is a threat to steal another throw and he's back. It was close. Fidrich evidently has a good move.

166
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Jones throws left and bats right. And there's a mixed up creature.

167
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Check on the runner, the pitcher on the way and Jones takes a strike. It gets away. Concepcion goes to second and Bench stays at third and that'll be a fastball.

168
00:22:53,000 --> 00:23:00,000
Second and third with one man out.

169
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:06,000
It is a fastball. It popped right out of the glove of the catcher Thurman Munson.

170
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000
And now the infield is in and Jones swings and misses.

171
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,000
And it's strike two. Fidrich could go for the strikeout here once the strikeout.

172
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Brett, Harrah, Rich and Carew all playing in. The pitch to Jones struck him out for the second out.

173
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,000
The first strikeout for Fidrich and it's up to Pete Rose.

174
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:32,000
See if they pitch to him or take their chances with Garvey.

175
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:37,000
He rose, started the ballgame with a base hit. Which is not unusual for him.

176
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:44,000
What an amazing performer Jack Buck. He has played at four different positions in all-star competition. Third, second and twice in the right and left.

177
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:52,000
First pitch is a strike call as Fidrich got one over the outside corner down around the knees. Rose with a base hit could make it four to nothing.

178
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:58,000
And Cepsio on the runner of second with fine speed. Here's the pitch. Pete swings, hits it to first.

179
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Carew to the pitcher covering. This will be not close and he's out. The inning is over.

180
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Carew to Fidrich and the inning is over and the National Leaguers get two hits and lead two.

181
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,000
After two they lead the American League two to nothing.

182
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,000
And we're back in Petron Stadium. Jones is running out to the mound.

183
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Jones prepared here to work his last inning. I guess the rules have always been that a pitcher can go but three innings unless we go extra innings.

184
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:31,000
This is what they sang about in the Fiddler on the Roof tradition. They don't like the break from it.

185
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,000
So we're going into the third inning with the National League leading two to nothing.

186
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:43,000
They had another threat but left him on. And the American League will be anxious to get back in it at the expense of Randy Jones.

187
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:48,000
And their pitcher is going to be lifted right here. That's the item we were talking about where you're going to have a pinch hitter.

188
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Looks like Al McCray coming out to bat for Mark Fidler.

189
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Al McCray of Kansas City will indeed be the hitter.

190
00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:07,000
Jackal, we've got a moment. I can remind everybody that the Summer Olympics begin Saturday, July 17th and CBS Radio Sports will be on the job with special broadcasts from Montreal and regular bulletins and all our sportscasts here on the CBS Radio Network.

191
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:17,000
We've been joined in the booth tonight by Wynn Elliott who does such a great job for us on the weekends. He'll be headed up to Montreal. The fire reports out of there. I'll be going. Jim Kelly will be up there.

192
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,000
Jack, you better jump away from the Cardinals and come up there for a week.

193
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:28,000
We'll leave Wynn to handle that. He can put 30 minutes of coffee in a 15-minute show better than anybody I've ever heard.

194
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,000
He can do that.

195
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:38,000
The pinch hitter is going to be Al McCray, the Kansas City outfielder who is having a very fine season with the front-running Royals.

196
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:45,000
A couple of these races in both divisions of both leagues have disintegrated a little bit.

197
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,000
And the closest one involves Kansas City and Texas at the moment.

198
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:56,000
And McCray has played a big part in the success of the Kansas City Royals. He'll be followed by LaFleur and then Carew.

199
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:06,000
McCray is batting.347. Here's the swing and a miss. Strike one, former member of the Cincinnati Reds. Otherwise, I guess the Reds would have another player on the all-star.

200
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Randy Jones working his third inning. McCray batting for Pidrich.

201
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:18,000
We're in the third. The National League leads 2-0. The pitch is coming and it's high and away. Pidrich worked two innings.

202
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,000
And he allowed two runs.

203
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:30,000
A total of four hits. McCray on a half swing hits it back to the pitcher. Jones gets it and flips it out as Garvey helped him.

204
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Jones was in an awkward throwing position. Somehow the left-handed pitcher just can't throw the ball to first base.

205
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:42,000
I don't know if it was the fact he was left-handed or the fact he seemed to stumble on a seam out there on the artificial surface for just a moment.

206
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
And indeed he did throw off balance.

207
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Pidrich worked two innings. He allowed two runs, four hits.

208
00:26:51,000 --> 00:27:00,000
He struck out one and he walked none. The batter is Ron LaFleur and he takes the ball.

209
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:14,000
American League looking for a baserunner here in the third. The pitch is a fastball at the knees and a strike called. One ball, one strike.

210
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:23,000
And the pitch. A little tap is fouled off to the left. And now Randy Jones is ahead on the count. One ball, two strikes.

211
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:30,000
This hitter, Jack, has to be a great inspiration for a lot of people in America. Ron LaFleur spent some time in a prison in Michigan.

212
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,000
He's come out and earlier this year he tore up the American League. He hit in 30 consecutive games.

213
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:39,000
A swing and a miss and LaFleur missed the off-speed breaking ball.

214
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:49,000
And down he goes for Jones' first strikeout of the night. And there are two men going.

215
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,000
And Ron Carew bats with the bases empty.

216
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:59,000
Jones works very, very rapidly. Throws a lot of strikes and he has a lot of fastball game.

217
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,000
There's a breaking ball in there and a called strike one to Carew who grounded into a double play his first time up.

218
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Carew, for all of his accomplishments in the game, has done poorly in all-star competition.

219
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Breaks the bat and grounds the ball to Morgan. He waits for Jones to cover. He throws him out.

220
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:19,000
And the inning is over. And Carew was very polite. He could have run over Randy Jones, but he didn't do so.

221
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,000
4-1 on the putout, down and ordered the American League. And after two and a half, two-nothing, National League.

222
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Campaign 76, the Democratic National Convention from Madison.

223
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:35,000
And back here in Philadelphia with the national leading the American by a score of two to nothing, Jack Buck, the American League, has turned it over to a millionaire right-hander, Catfish Hunter.

224
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Catfish Hunter with a record of 10-8. And I guess Randy Jones will take a shower only as a formality.

225
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:46,000
He earned the focus out there while pitching three innings, no runs, two hits, struck out one, walked one.

226
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:51,000
He's one of the few people who can gain weight while he pitches out there. He works so easily.

227
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,000
And by the way, he now has four consecutive scoreless innings as an all-star pitcher.

228
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:02,000
And usually when a fellow is having a great year, Randy comes into an all-star game like this and doesn't do so well.

229
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:08,000
But that was not the case with Randy Jones.

230
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Now we have the Catfish with a cheek full of tobacco out there getting ready to pitch to the National League and Steve Garvey in the home half of the third inning.

231
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,000
What's the score you say? Well, the National League's on top, two to nothing.

232
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Got two in the first and a single by Rose, a triple by Garvey and a ball that bounced past Rusty Stobb and then an infield out by George Foster.

233
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:40,000
Two to nothing for the National League as they bat Steve Garvey in his white home Dodger uniform with the blue helmet, blue trim, and the pitch from Catfish Hunter.

234
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,000
And it's punted and it's fouled off to the left.

235
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Garvey trying to get on base, front of the ball foul. He'll be followed by Morgan and then Foster.

236
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:58,000
The National League threatens to make it five in a row in front of a crowd of 61,000 at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia.

237
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:06,000
They had the first night all-star game here in Philadelphia right a few years back, 1943.

238
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:16,000
Garvey pops it foul and there's a play for Rod Carew. He's under it and has it one yard.

239
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:23,000
Garvey fouls out and Morgan comes up flying to right his first time, left-handed hitting.

240
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Jack you were talking about that night game. One of the big reasons why the Cincinnati Reds are leading the Dodgers by six full games.

241
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:43,000
The pitch from Hunter is high and away, ball one. We have a Yankee battery now of Hunter and Thurman Munson.

242
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:48,000
High and away to Morgan again. That's ball two. One of the best batting eyes in the business, Joe Morgan.

243
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Jack you were talking about that night game, the last all-star game. Of course here was 1952, rained out after five.

244
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Here the foul ball hit down into the seats off the bat of Joe Morgan. Two balls and the strike.

245
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:08,000
They still have, talking about the American League, Brett at third, Harrods short, and Griff at first.

246
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Four and left, Lin in center field and Staub in right. With one out, Morgan swings and it's a base hit to the right of Bobby Griff.

247
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:25,000
That's the fifth hit for the National League and Morgan, a base-stealing Brett, is on base with one out.

248
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,000
National League had four hits off of Mark Fidleritz and Stunner.

249
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:37,000
And now a base knock off Catfish Hunter and Foster is up. Drove in a run with a new field out, the opening inning.

250
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:43,000
Foster has driven in 72 runs already this year for the Reds.

251
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:52,000
They play him deep into the left. Right-handed batter, Brett near the line at third, throw to first, Morgan is back.

252
00:31:52,000 --> 00:32:02,000
He's being held by Rod Carew. Hunter looks over there. Morgan is not going and there's a foul by Foster.

253
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Line drive down into left field. Strike one, Morgan bluffed a break but didn't go.

254
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:24,000
American Legion baseball is well represented. 35 former American Legion baseball players are on the rosters of the American League.

255
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Hunter checks Morgan. Not going and a five ball to deep left by Foster. Way back, Mike Go and go it by Holman.

256
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:43,000
That makes it four to nothing. There's something about Foster and the way he hits that ball. When he gets into it, it just goes and goes and goes.

257
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:51,000
That makes it four to nothing. And Catfish Hunter is big.

258
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:57,000
Foster has driven in three of the four National League runs.

259
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:04,000
He's a very heavy fat and when he hits that baseball, it just doesn't stop.

260
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:10,000
The batter is Luzinski who really showed off during batting practice tonight. He must have hit ten out of here.

261
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,000
Here's a high five ball to short left that will be caught by LeBlanc.

262
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:22,000
The crowd got excited but the catch is made and there are two men out. Luzinski took a dead aim. Got it up in the air for the second half.

263
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:27,000
You can do that against Catfish Hunter because of course he has marvelous control.

264
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:34,000
He brings the pitch around the plate all the time so hitters like George Foster can stand in there and if they get the pitch they want they can power it up.

265
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:40,000
And with two men out the batter is Johnny Bench. He fouls one away. Strike one and everybody's pumping on the first one.

266
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:46,000
And in an all-star game like this, it's the truth that these pitchers won't be knocking people down or spinning their hands around.

267
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:53,000
They can dig in a little more here. With two men out Bench swings and Hunter threw it by and Bench got a base hit his first time.

268
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:59,000
We're in the home half of the third and it's four to nothing now.

269
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:04,000
And the pitch. Bench fouls one away to stay alive. Oh and two.

270
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,000
That home run by George Foster.

271
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,000
It's typical of the home runs you get in this ballpark.

272
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:19,000
There would have been an out in a good many other ballparks but not here. It carries Bench with two out. Makes a ball in the dirt.

273
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:26,000
One ball two strikes.

274
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Hunter has been treated rudely in all-star competition. One ball two strikes and a foul by Bench.

275
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,000
Back and out of play.

276
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:39,000
And an all-star souvenir is a coveted item here.

277
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Great weather.

278
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Mesa's empty. Bench strikes out on a low pitch from Captain Hunter.

279
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Two runs on two hits. A home run by Foster after three.

280
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,000
National League four. American League nothing.

281
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:58,000
And back here in Philadelphia with the National League All-Stars leading the American by a score of four to nothing.

282
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Tom Seaver has come on now for the National League.

283
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Well if the American Lakers were complaining that Randy Jones didn't throw the ball hard enough for them to hit it.

284
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,000
They've got all the fast balls they want right now. Maybe a little too much from Seaver.

285
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:15,000
What about this for a high powered all-star battery. Tom Seaver and Johnny Menn.

286
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Jack it was interesting that the crowd here in Philadelphia booed when Bench went out the last time because they think their catcher Bob Boone deserves to be the all-star starter.

287
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:31,000
And I guess they're trying a little early psychological warfare on Bench who probably will be back here in October in the playoffs.

288
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,000
They want to get under his skin if they can.

289
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Listen there's some fans out in Los Angeles who want to agree with you right now.

290
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,000
I know that.

291
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Bob Lemon who is the honorary captain with the American League is coaching his first base during this half inning.

292
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,000
And Robin Roberts will coach down there during the next half inning.

293
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:52,000
And we go into the top of the fourth with Tom Seaver on the mound and George Brett at the plate.

294
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,000
The Kansas City third baseman.

295
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:00,000
Hitting a lusty three sixty five drew a walk in the opening inning. A left handed batter in the pitch to him.

296
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Strike off. Brett is one of those people who plays the game with a tank full of enthusiasm.

297
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:12,000
Malapet rose and others.

298
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:16,000
First pitch a blistering fastball a called strike and now breaking ball low.

299
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000
One and one.

300
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,000
Tom Seaver on the mound fourth inning for the nothing National League.

301
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,000
American League has had two hits but they left both runners.

302
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,000
Got a walk and hit into a double play.

303
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Brett leading off swing and didn't get the fastball.

304
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:37,000
One and two a high fastball and Seaver blew it right by him.

305
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,000
It will be Brett and Munson and Fred Lin.

306
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:47,000
And the pitch from Seaver swing and a high fly ball into right will be caught by Dave Kingman.

307
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Big right fielder is under it and has it for the up.

308
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:56,000
He's not the most graceful outfielder in the world but he made the catch one go.

309
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Earlier this season John Matlak a teammate who is also on this all-star team criticized Dave Kingman for not taking outfield practices.

310
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Shortly thereafter the Mets went on a tear. A long winning streak and Dave Kingman turned red hot with a bat.

311
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:14,000
He didn't criticize him when Kingman was standing next to him with a bat in his hand.

312
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Munson is up with one out. The Yankee catcher hit into a force out his first time.

313
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,000
A right handed batter and the pitch from Seaver on the way.

314
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,000
A foul off to the right.

315
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Seaver relieved on Sunday and Johnny Bench was hit by that foul ball.

316
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:32,000
Bench was hit by that foul ball and the turner comes out to check him out.

317
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Boy he's got a tough year for this man.

318
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,000
And the Philadelphia fans are on him.

319
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:42,000
I tell you they can just take a look at the scar on the top of his lip so little.

320
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:47,000
The scar across his back from the operation that he had or some of the aches and ailments which have plagued him.

321
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,000
I don't think they'd be doing him like that.

322
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Bench was really stunned on the right shoulder by that foul ball.

323
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:59,000
We want booms for all of your fans here.

324
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:08,000
One man out. One strike to count on Munson and Seaver gets ready to work again.

325
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,000
His pitch is low with the ball.

326
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000
One ball, one strike to count.

327
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:19,000
The bases empty for the American League.

328
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,000
They trail 4-0 here in the fourth inning.

329
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,000
And the pitch on the way.

330
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,000
It's a low and away ball too.

331
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,000
Seaver waits for the batter to get set again and brings it in.

332
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,000
The Munson, the right handed batter, swinging a foul back to the right.

333
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:43,000
Now to play in the upper deck here in Philadelphia.

334
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,000
One ball, two strikes.

335
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,000
Red Lin waiting to bat next to the American League.

336
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,000
Olszczynski back near the track and left with Munson at the plate.

337
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,000
He's popped eight home runs this year.

338
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,000
Seaver kicks and fires.

339
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Munson swings and got a piece of it.

340
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Foul back to the screen.

341
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,000
It's still 1-2.

342
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,000
What a wonderful job the Philadelphia Phillies organization has done in hosting this

343
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,000
all-star game.

344
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Everything has been top-rate.

345
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,000
Pre-game activities here tonight ran like clockwork.

346
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Seaver brings it in and Munson swings and a high fly ball behind second.

347
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:25,000
Concepcion, the shortstop, fades out, waits and has it two up.

348
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Two men gone.

349
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Munson was jammed and popped out.

350
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:36,000
With two gone, Fred Lin takes a little while getting to the plate.

351
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,000
We're Admiral McClinton.

352
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,000
The U.S. Navy is here with us.

353
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,000
I'll let him share the microphone while you talk to him.

354
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,000
This all-star game has been dedicated to the U.S. Navy.

355
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,000
It was interesting, Jack, to find out that the Navy was founded here in Philadelphia

356
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,000
as Tom Seaver throws a ball inside to land in next.

357
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,000
You have to be a Phillie fan, too.

358
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,000
I have to tonight.

359
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,000
I'm a National League fan from way back, Fred, so this is really a thrill for us.

360
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,000
The Navy was founded back here on the 13th of October of 1775.

361
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Today we're almost 201 years old now.

362
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Tom Seaver throws another ball, and of course I know many of your Navy men

363
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,000
are listening around the world on American Forces Radio.

364
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,000
They are indeed, and they're just as thrilled as those of us who are here tonight.

365
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:21,000
Here's Lin with a long one to ride, and it's all now Tom Seaver putting the American League on the board.

366
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Fred Lin, who has hit six for the Red Sox, really got into it,

367
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,000
and two former Southern Cowboys athletes hooked up there,

368
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,000
and Lin got the better of Tom Seaver.

369
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:35,000
It's 4-1 now, and the fans like that because they love the action.

370
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,000
They don't want to see a one-sided game here.

371
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,000
And check out Magic the American League with like-minded Admiral Robert McClinton

372
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,000
to sit right here for the rest of the game.

373
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,000
What's the game here?

374
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,000
It'll bring Toby Harrah to the plate.

375
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,000
Harrah ground it out his first time up.

376
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:55,000
So we've had a couple of home runs tonight, one by George Foster of the Reds,

377
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:00,000
and one just now by Fred Lin, strike one call to Harrah.

378
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,000
He's batting with two men out.

379
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Lin's home run hooks the American League on the board here in the fourth inning.

380
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:11,000
Swing and a foul tipped, and that's strike two, and Seaver is quickly ahead of Harrah.

381
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:16,000
Must be stopped on deck.

382
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Seaver is seemingly unperturbed by the home run caught by Fred Lin.

383
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,000
Goes right back to work, and a swing and a foul keeps Harrah at the plate.

384
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,000
Admiral, we like your hard-sightedness.

385
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:32,000
You're getting more and more women involved in the U.S. Navy, including the Naval Academy.

386
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,000
We have 81 ladies who entered just seven days ago, as a matter of fact, Jack,

387
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:39,000
and they're well ensconced down to the Naval Academy, and apparently starting off very nicely.

388
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Harrah batting with two men out.

389
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:47,000
Seaver pitches a swing and a pop fly, will be caught by the second baseman, Joe Morgan.

390
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,000
One run on one hit, the Lin all run.

391
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:54,000
He's going to the bottom of the fourth, and that's the league lead by the score of 4-1.

392
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Once in a while you find someone who knows what to do

393
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:04,000
And that's someone you can talk to

394
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,000
Once in a while you find someone who knows what to do

395
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:10,000
Personal service, and that's special expertise in making the future secure.

396
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,000
Your life, Underwriter. Only a phone call away.

397
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:18,000
We all need someone to talk to once in a while

398
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Someone to tell our dreams to

399
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,000
To help make those dreams come true

400
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:28,000
Your life, Underwriter. Wants to see you smile

401
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,000
That's certain special someone

402
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,000
You're going to talk to once in a while

403
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,000
A message from your National Association of White Underwriters.

404
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,000
You imagine...

405
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:42,000
Campaign 76, the Democratic National Convention.

406
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:50,000
Philadelphia crowd came alive when they saw Larry Bow and Mike Schmidt head for the Wolf End to warm up along with Cesar Stadano of Houston.

407
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:54,000
David Cunha will leave off, and the home half of the fourth will be followed by Kirsten Saehmann.

408
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:58,000
And Saehmann is due to hit against Catfish Hunter.

409
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,000
The score is 4-1.

410
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:04,000
This is Brad Lynn's homer, he's put the American League on the board.

411
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,000
And Kingman's Swingsman, and this is strike one.

412
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:11,000
Kingman fouled out his first time, he possesses 30 home runs.

413
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,000
The next point of view is the all-star break.

414
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:19,000
He's ahead of Wilson, the National League record pace of swinging and infighting.

415
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,000
And that strike two.

416
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,000
He strikes out a lot, Kingman Doug.

417
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,000
He throws the ball where he's swinging.

418
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,000
He'll lose it for him.

419
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Outfield, deep to the left, and Hunter pitches.

420
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,000
Swing, and that's a fan ball.

421
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,000
And he struck him out. Second strikeout for Hunter.

422
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:43,000
Brent, let the Admiral get a plug-in for Navy recruiting before we see what happens to Concepcion.

423
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,000
This is a thrill for the Navy here tonight, Brent, I can tell you that.

424
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:51,000
And the kind of people we see in the crowd like this are those we like to see come into the Navy.

425
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,000
There are a lot of youngsters here who are our style tonight, I can tell you that.

426
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,000
Admiral, thanks for dropping by.

427
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,000
Pleasure to be here. Thank you.

428
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,000
Dave Concepcion with a swing and a miss, strike one.

429
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:05,000
Concepcion's single, his first time up, so he's trying for his second hit of the night.

430
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,000
And he pops it into short left field.

431
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,000
The floor broke back, now comes higher.

432
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,000
He'll get there, and on the move he has it for the outs.

433
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,000
Two men gone.

434
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:20,000
Two men gone, and the batter will be Tom Siever, who bat for himself here in the fourth inning.

435
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:26,000
We mentioned earlier that Catfish Hunter has been bopped around, and after previous innings,

436
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,000
he had given up four runs and less than four innings in all-star competition.

437
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,000
Siever can handle that bat, but against Hunter, why,

438
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:37,000
he can say the odds were great of a base hit, and he takes a strike.

439
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:45,000
National League has out hit the Americans, 6-3, and the National League leads 4-1, fourth innings.

440
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,000
Why you not ask Mike Siever?

441
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,000
He looks overmatched on that swing, strike two.

442
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Hunter, working in a hurry, needs a fresh chew of the back of his, strikes him out, the inning is over.

443
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,000
Three strikeouts and two innings for Hunter, down and order of the National League,

444
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,000
and after four, 4-1, the National League lead.

445
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,000
And here's the all-star game with the National League leading the Americans, 4-1, Jack Buck.

446
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:12,000
The crowd gave a rose in hand to Bob Boone, the Philadelphia catcher who has replaced Johnny Finch.

447
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,000
And out on the outfield, I see a couple of changes.

448
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:20,000
Siever Sabanio, who has gone into centerfield, and George Buster, switching over to right,

449
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,000
which means that Dave Payne, one of the New York Mets, is coming out,

450
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:29,000
and the new shortstop will be Larry Bowe of the Philadelphia Phillies, who will work alongside of Joe Morgan.

451
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:33,000
Luke Rose and Steve Garvey still out there, and of course the pitcher is Tom Siever,

452
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,000
and the left fielder, Greg Musinski of the Phillies.

453
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:42,000
Well, we've got a moment here as Siever completes his warm-up to remind everybody

454
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,000
that because we've had a lot of surprises in the tennis world,

455
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,000
it should be signed U.S. Open coming up from Forest Hills.

456
00:45:48,000 --> 00:46:10,000
That begins on August 31st. CBS Radio Sports will bring you an exclusive outside report.

457
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:14,000
Some changes for the National League, with Siever on the mound, Bob Boone,

458
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:19,000
who takes over the Cancun Jetties, and he's batting in the number seven spot, replacing Kamen.

459
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:24,000
They have Boa at shortstop, and he is batting eighth.

460
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,000
And Sabanio's playing centerfield.

461
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,000
Swing on this by Rusty Stopp, who starts the fifth inning of this game.

462
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:36,000
George Buster has moved from centerfield to right, and Sabanio, of Houston, is taking over in center.

463
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:44,000
And Sabanio is batting.

464
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:49,000
He's got a single this first time. It's a foul now for strike two against his former teammate, Tom Siever.

465
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:56,000
Payed attendance here tonight at 63,974, the third largest All-Star crowd ever,

466
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:01,000
exceeded only in Cleveland in the years 1935 and 1954.

467
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:07,000
A receipt of $772,000 taken in in this All-Star game in Philly.

468
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,000
Stopp with a swing and a foul right over our head.

469
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,000
He keeps the count one and two.

470
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:17,000
I mean, right over my head, not over your head, perhaps, but mine.

471
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:21,000
You need a souvenir, don't you? Tell them to hit it toward you.

472
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,000
Take it over to one of the children.

473
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,000
Stopp leading off with a base hit against Siever here in the fifth inning.

474
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:36,000
And the American League, trailing by the score of 4-1, puts its leadoff man on for the second time in the game.

475
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:43,000
You might see quite a few American League pitchers here tonight, particularly if they go for a pink hitter in this setting.

476
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:51,000
And the American League does have a pitcher warming up right now.

477
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:59,000
The batter is Bobby Gritch of Baltimore, swinging a miss, strike one.

478
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:08,000
Four base hits for the visitors, the American League, as Perez, Cash, and Al Oliver head down to the National League hole for them to warm up.

479
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Here's a swing and a miss for strike two. Gritch down to the short his first time.

480
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,000
And the fifth inning, and Stopp is leadoff with a hit.

481
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:23,000
Garvey plays behind him in first base. Siever looks over there and pitches.

482
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,000
Gritch took a half swing, held up ball one.

483
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,000
One and two. County bench.

484
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,000
Gave way to Bob Boone, who's behind the plate now.

485
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,000
And Louis Teon, one with a counter. Seriously, I'm in.

486
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,000
All of all.

487
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,000
Stopp with the lead, Siever with the pitching.

488
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:46,000
Gritch looks at it, going away.

489
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,000
Nicky Rivers is on deck.

490
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:53,000
There's no pinch hit for Catfish Hunter.

491
00:48:53,000 --> 00:49:06,000
Stopp with two hits in this game, leads away. Gritch hits it on the ground foul, and Rusty is now three to five in an all-star competition.

492
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:15,000
You can get a good hit by this whether you're making batting practice in a regular season game or an all-star game or whatever, and Stopp can hit the ball.

493
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,000
Gritch trying to follow it up with a base hit.

494
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:21,000
Waits, swings, fouls it out of play. It's still two and two.

495
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:30,000
We're in the fifth inning for the American League, the visiting team batting in the National League on top, four to one.

496
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,000
He's scored two in the first.

497
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:37,000
Singled by Rose, tripled by Garvey in a ground ball, and two in the third on the two-run home run by George Foster.

498
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,000
Redland is giving the American League their only run.

499
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,000
The pitch to Gritch. Swing and a double play ball.

500
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:46,000
De Morgan has it. Over the short to Boa. Out for the first double play.

501
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,000
Out of the top hop for Joe Morgan.

502
00:49:48,000 --> 00:50:00,000
This is an all-as-to-turf field except for the sliding hits, and that ball hit off the turf, off the dirt on the short hop to Morgan, but he stayed right with it, got it to Boa, and over to Garvey.

503
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,000
And it was the second double play that Joe Morgan has started at second base.

504
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:08,000
Back in the first inning, he fielded a ground ball by Rod Brew and doubled it for Rod LaFleur.

505
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:15,000
A couple of double plays. One bailed out the starter, Randy Jones. This one helps Tom Seeger.

506
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,000
And Mickey Rivers.

507
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:23,000
The Yankee outfielder is at the plate batting left-handed and hitting for Cat 300.

508
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:29,000
Rivers chokes up on the bat a bit and hits a foul, strike one.

509
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,000
Rivers is batting three-ten.

510
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:37,000
With a lot of his base hits of the infield variety, he can run.

511
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:44,000
Two men out, nobody on. Seeger goes into a full wind-up. Here it comes and hits both.

512
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:55,000
Well, Hunter, worth only two runs, two hits, struck out, three walk-nots.

513
00:50:55,000 --> 00:51:02,000
Rivers with two outs. Takes a strike from Seeger, looks at the umpire, doesn't believe it. One and two.

514
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:10,000
Harry Wendelstedt is the man in blue behind the plate, Jerry Newdecker, Andy Olson, John Denkenshire,

515
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:14,000
Satch Davidson, and Jim Evans, the other umpires.

516
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:20,000
Seeger, with his swing, a foul by Rivers out of play to the left.

517
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Well, the American League put the leadoff man on base in this inning.

518
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,000
The old double play followed.

519
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:30,000
The National League has Rose, Boa, Morgan, and Garvey on the infield.

520
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,000
The boom catching, the pitch is low from Seeger.

521
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:42,000
Two and two. Zdinski's still playing. He's in left, the day he went center, and Foster in right.

522
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:46,000
Seeger's 2-2 delivery. Struck him out on a high fastball.

523
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:50,000
Seeger gets his first strikeout. No runs, one hit, a double play, nobody left.

524
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:57,000
And after four and a half, four to one, National League.

525
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:03,000
And Jack Baseball's year-long Most Minimal Moments campaign came to a climax here in Philadelphia today

526
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:10,000
with the announcement earlier of Henry Aaron's 750th home run as the most memorable moment ever in baseball.

527
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,000
And Babe Ruth as the most memorable personality.

528
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Bobby Thompson shot her around the world back in the 1951 National League playoffs

529
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:23,000
for the Giants against the Dodgers. Met with second Aaron and both Thompson and Aaron.

530
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:28,000
Bobby Thompson handles himself with a lot of grace and dignity.

531
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:32,000
Hey, he reminds me a lot of Joe DiMaggio in this day and age.

532
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:37,000
The charm that DiMaggio has, Thompson possesses the same.

533
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:42,000
Wherever he goes, people eyeball him and enjoy seeing him.

534
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:45,000
We have Louis T. I'm coming into the game here now.

535
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,000
He's the third American League pitcher of the night.

536
00:52:47,000 --> 00:53:02,000
And he's a favorite over here because, well, I guess he doesn't get so old.

537
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:07,000
Campaign 76, the Democratic National Convention at New York City's Madison Square Garden.

538
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:11,000
I'm George Furman, CBS News, reporting on the CBS Radio Network.

539
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:15,000
And just minutes ago, a moment of supreme, wholly understated drama.

540
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,000
A man played briefly while a ramp was placed in the rostrum.

541
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:23,000
And then Governor George Wallace of Alabama took the rostrum to speak out against government red tape.

542
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:27,000
Discarding his glasses after a moment, he warmed to one of his favorite themes,

543
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:33,000
bureaucrats and their briefcases, which he said ought all to be thrown in the Potomac, the briefcases, presumably.

544
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:40,000
And then cheers, warm but very brief, for Governor George Wallace and a smiling wave from the governor and a kiss from his wife.

545
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:45,000
And then George Wallace's farewell from all appearances from the stage of presidential politics.

546
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:51,000
And the convention moved on to the next part of the platform now being presented by Bess Meyerson of New York City.

547
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,000
That's it for the moment from the Democratic National Committee.

548
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,000
I'm George Furman, CBS News.

549
00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:01,000
Jack, back here in Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium, we see quite a few changes for the American League.

550
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:05,000
Louis Teon is out there on the mound. It will be an all-Boston battery.

551
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,000
His teammate Carl Fisk is joining him at shortstop.

552
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:13,000
The manager of Baltimore, the outfield, Carl Jaskinski has gone out there to play now.

553
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,000
And Mickey Rivers has moved in to right field.

554
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,000
Lin will stay in center.

555
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:26,000
Now we'll find out how they're batting for you folks as Louis Teon takes over as the third American League pitcher of the night.

556
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:32,000
And I'm sure that the Latin American fans of American baseball get a kick out of the fact that Louis is into the game.

557
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:37,000
This contest is being broadcasted in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic of Venezuela.

558
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:47,000
And as we mentioned here on CBS and around the world, the American forces radio.

559
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,000
Teon takes his warm-up classes.

560
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:57,000
No scores of other games to give tonight's red as baseball has come to a standstill except for this all-star game.

561
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:04,000
All of the eyes of the baseball world are on Veterans Stadium.

562
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:09,000
The girls laid off against Teon against who only batted in the World Series last year.

563
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:13,000
Louis spins pitches and a swing and a miss by Rhodes.

564
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:18,000
He's won for two tonight, got a base hit in the opening inning, then ground it out.

565
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:23,000
National League is on top, 4-1. We're in the home half of the fifth inning.

566
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:27,000
Teon's next one is a curveball drilled in the right center for a base hit.

567
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,000
If it might get in between, it does.

568
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,000
It goes to the wall and Rhodes is going to get two.

569
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:36,000
He's got a chance at him, head first, save the third.

570
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:44,000
Steve Rose with a leadoff triple, beats Louis Teon in the fifth inning.

571
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,000
And you knew he was going to try for three, Brent.

572
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:55,000
What a remarkable performer Pete Rose is in a game that doesn't mean a thing, that head-first dive into third base.

573
00:55:55,000 --> 00:56:00,000
Here is Rose in an exhibition and who will ever forget back in 1971 down in Cincinnati

574
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:05,000
when he barreled into Ray Fossey and he broke Fossey's collarbone with a winning run in that all-star game.

575
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:09,000
The center owes to Canada to compete in the diving competition up there.

576
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:15,000
Head-first slide in the third, the infield is in, the batter is Garvey who could increase the National League lead.

577
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:18,000
Teon's pitch is a ball outside.

578
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:22,000
Garvey is one for two, a three-base hit and a run batted in.

579
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:29,000
They select the most valuable player in this game and George Foster has a leg up on that trophy with three RBIs tonight.

580
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,000
Garvey waiting.

581
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:37,000
The pitch is a strike ball with a breaking ball, Rose in third, nobody out.

582
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:43,000
He'll make sure that the ball is beyond the infielders before he breaks for home on a ground ball.

583
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,000
The right fielder, Mickey Rivers, is playing in a bit.

584
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:51,000
Other outfielders deep in around to the left with Yaskromski in the left and Lin in the center.

585
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:55,000
Garvey is jammed by a pitch ball to two and one.

586
00:56:55,000 --> 00:57:00,000
So we have Yaskromski in left, Lin still in center, Rivers in right.

587
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,000
Still Brett at third but the line here is at short.

588
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:08,000
Richard second base, Carrou at first, Carlton Fisk is catching.

589
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:20,000
The pitch to Garvey with the runner at third is swinging a miss, two and two.

590
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:23,000
Garvey trying to get the runner home.

591
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:29,000
The official league leading, four to one, home half of the fifth inning, a leadoff triple by Pete Rose.

592
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:33,000
His second hit of the night, Garvey calls time.

593
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:39,000
One tobacco chewer has followed another here as Catfish Hunter gave way to Louis Teon.

594
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,000
Mark Fidrich started the game.

595
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,000
This is the third American League hurler.

596
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:49,000
The pitch on the way and Garvey looks at a fastball, three and two.

597
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:54,000
Fastball out and away from Garvey but he wouldn't chase it.

598
00:57:54,000 --> 00:58:03,000
Garvey's dad is here visiting from Florida.

599
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:09,000
Lead by Rose and the pitch, swinging at a ground ball to third.

600
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,000
Clear ball, fielded by Brett.

601
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:16,000
He throws out at first, but Garvey's scooped in out of the dirt and Rose stayed at third.

602
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,000
Jack, there were two nice fielding plays.

603
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:25,000
George got down at third base, picking that up on the short bounce and then Rod Carew over first base with that scoop.

604
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:31,000
There's a heck of a play by both as Brett had to battle with Pete Rose for a fielding room down there.

605
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,000
And he took a swipe at Rose, tried to tag him to the ball, just missed him.

606
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,000
Rose got back to third.

607
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,000
And it's up to Morgan to get Pete home from third with one man up.

608
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:43,000
Morgan has flied to right and single, the infield's still in.

609
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,000
First one from T-Nav and Morgan swings and pops it out.

610
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,000
That'll be the second out.

611
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:52,000
Second baseman Bobby Gritch has it two-go on and it's smack up.

612
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:57,000
And George Foster has already driven in three of the four national league runs.

613
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:01,000
That's not like Joe Morgan, failed to get that runner home from third.

614
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:05,000
That's twice now that Joe Morgan has failed to produce a runner from third base.

615
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:08,000
Steve Garvey had the hole back in the first inning after tripling.

616
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,000
Joe Morgan flied out to right field.

617
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:16,000
Morgan got the game-winning hit in the World Series against Teon, but Teon got him this time.

618
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,000
And of course he received three million votes.

619
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:22,000
He was the most popular of the All-Stars, Joe Morgan of Cincinnati.

620
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:26,000
Infield drops back now. Rose to third, two out, Foster the batter.

621
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:30,000
George takes a swag, a good fastball call over the inside corner.

622
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:35,000
Foster drawing it on with an infield out in the first and pops the two-run homer in the third inning.

623
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:40,000
Teon wants to get him out and keep the American League in the game.

624
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:48,000
Foster wants to pop another and widen the margin, take some of the drama out of this contest.

625
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:53,000
A full windup by Louis, his pitch is high, and Carlton Fisk had to reach for that one.

626
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,000
One ball, one strike.

627
00:59:55,000 --> 01:00:00,000
Now this game is dominated by Boston players with a batter of Teon and Fisk.

628
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:05,000
With the Estrumski and Lynn in the outfield, the four of the nine are wearing the Red Sox uniform.

629
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,000
One ball, one strike.

630
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:14,000
George Foster waits and takes outside ball, too.

631
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:18,000
And speaking of Boston, what's sad news this week of the death of Tommy Yawkey.

632
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:27,000
What a marvelous man he was, the millionaire owner of the Boston Red Sox, one of the true sportsmen who stayed in baseball through the years.

633
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,000
Loved his Boston Red Sox.

634
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:34,000
Foster trying to get Rose home from third with two men out.

635
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:39,000
The pitch from Luis Teon and a swing and a foul on a curveball, two and two.

636
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:43,000
A leadoff triple by Rose, but he's still there with two out.

637
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:55,000
Brett Musinski waits on deck, but for the moment it's a battle between Teon, who wants a new baseball, and George Foster.

638
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:59,000
John McNamara, the San Diego manager, coaching the third.

639
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:03,000
Andy Ozark, the Phillies skipper, coaching the first.

640
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,000
Foster waiting. Fisk gives the sign.

641
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:13,000
Teon looks at third at Pete Rose and goes to work.

642
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,000
The pitch, swing and a smash to short.

643
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,000
One hop-couple injury as it imposed.

644
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:22,000
He's out, and Rose died at third base after the leadoff triple.

645
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,000
Great pitching by Teon. No runs, one hit, one left.

646
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:30,000
Three left for the National League, but after five they leave the American League 4-1.

647
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:34,000
To me, a lot of car advertising sounds something like this.

648
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:37,000
Mr. Average, tell us about your new car.

649
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:44,000
In my own words, my new car is truly a great automobile.

650
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:53,000
And I know who I am, and I believe that I'm always a car for the man who knows who I am.

651
01:01:53,000 --> 01:02:00,000
Well, America, we did it. We made a big car small and a small car big.

652
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:04,000
Push aside the tons of car advertising, and of all the cars in the world,

653
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:08,000
no test magazine, Subaru, Carline, or Deere.

654
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:11,000
Maybe it's because only we have a four-wheel drive wagon,

655
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:15,000
or because every Subaru has front-wheel drive, the CT engine,

656
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:19,000
and a price tag that makes us an economy car for today's economy.

657
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:24,000
At Subaru, we don't have to manufacture great things to say about our car,

658
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,000
because we manufacture a great car.

659
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:34,000
Test drive at Subaru, a true local Subaru dealer.

660
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:37,000
At home or on the road, it's always a thrill to see that ball scale right out of the park.

661
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:43,000
I'm Mike Schmiller of the Phillies, and I'm here to tell you how to drive in the winning run for your future in the Navy.

662
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:47,000
Great training, a challenging job, travel, and some real adventure.

663
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,000
That's the Navy lineup of opportunity.

664
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:52,000
So get your high school diploma and join the Navy team.

665
01:02:52,000 --> 01:03:00,000
For more information, call your Navy recruiter toll-free at 800-841-8000.

666
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:05,000
Nice gesture right now by Sparky Anderson, the manager of the National League, Jack.

667
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:09,000
He has all five members of the Philadelphia Phillies on the field.

668
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:13,000
As Dave Cash has come on to play second base, and Mike Schmidt will be at third.

669
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:17,000
Lozinski at first stays in left. Boyd shortstop, Boone is the catcher.

670
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:23,000
The new pitcher for the National League is going to be the count, John Matapisco, out of San Francisco.

671
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:29,000
And out in right field, Al Oliver, the Pittsburgh Pirates, who right now is leading the National League in hitting.

672
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:32,000
And the first baseman is Sparky Anderson's Tony Perez.

673
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:38,000
He's in the sixth inning, it is 4-1, and the National League has dominated this game from beginning to end.

674
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:49,000
You can hear the crowd reacting to the introduction of the other Phillies players.

675
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:53,000
Here's the batting order now with numerous changes for the National League.

676
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,000
Al Oliver is leading off, he's in right field.

677
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:58,000
Dave Cash of the Phillies at second base, hitting second.

678
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,000
Tony Perez of the Reds, playing first base and hitting third.

679
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:04,000
Mike Schmidt of the Phillies in third base batting fourth.

680
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:07,000
Lozinski is still in the game in left field.

681
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:10,000
Cesar Cedeno is in center field and batting sixth.

682
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:14,000
Bob Boone behind the plate of the Phillies, of course.

683
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:18,000
Harry Ball of the Philadelphia Club is the shortstop batting eighth.

684
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:25,000
And John Matapisco, another of the characters in baseball, becomes the third National League hurler of the night.

685
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,000
Following Jones and Sieber to the mound, we're going into the sixth inning.

686
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:32,000
The National League on top, and go to one of the American League.

687
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:37,000
And Carl Hruszynski of the Boston Red Sox will step into the batter's box.

688
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:46,000
He's had a marvelous career as an all-star performer out of the American League.

689
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:52,000
Hruszynski at the plate for his first and bat.

690
01:04:52,000 --> 01:05:02,000
Carl batting 264, but he's a better hitter than that, is he not? And strike one is called from Matapisco, the tall right-hander.

691
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:07,000
And Sieber worked two innings, allowed one run, two hits, struck out, one walk, none.

692
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:12,000
Hruszynski, the left-handed batter, courts a foul back here, and that's strike two.

693
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:17,000
Hruszynski will be followed by Carew and then George Brett.

694
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:25,000
Philadelphia Phillies are represented now by Schmidt, Boah, Cash, and Boone, and Hruszynski.

695
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:32,000
The pitch to Hruszynski, misses outside, ball one. Hruszynski leading off in the sixth inning.

696
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:37,000
National League leading 4-1, two runs in the first, two in the third.

697
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:40,000
Two runs in the third, an all-run by George Poston.

698
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:44,000
Brett Lynn, home run for the American League. A ball to Hruszynski.

699
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:53,000
Two balls, two strikes.

700
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:58,000
Nobody on or out. The pitch, Matapisco pitches. Hruszynski hits it high in the air behind third.

701
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:02,000
Fair ball, Boah out. Shortstop has it. Fair ball, good play.

702
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:09,000
He covers some ground and all it is.

703
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,000
Hruszynski pops to short to start it.

704
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:23,000
And that in-league is such a thing to run with it, Brett. They have like split batting in the number nine spot with Matapisco hitting fourth.

705
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:27,000
Jack again on that catch by Boah, the familiarity with the ballpark helped him.

706
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:30,000
He knew exactly where that rail came in down there.

707
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:35,000
And he knew that Hruszynski left field, if he left field he wouldn't bother.

708
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:39,000
So there's one out and Rod Carew, 0 for 2, is that the play?

709
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:46,000
A standard batter against Matapisco and a swing and a miss and Matapisco blew it by.

710
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:50,000
Carew is a distinctive character boy can he hit.

711
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:53,000
Five American League batting titles.

712
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:56,000
Hitch goes low. Here you think about it.

713
01:06:56,000 --> 01:07:02,000
The size of his forearms is greater than the size of his biceps.

714
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:05,000
That's where his hitting strength comes from.

715
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:10,000
He takes it low for ball and he can bunk. Perez is cheating in a step.

716
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:14,000
Cash is rather deep at second.

717
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:17,000
American League needs some runners here.

718
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:19,000
Couple of double plays at the four of them tonight.

719
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:24,000
The pitch goes low inside, 3 and 1.

720
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:28,000
Schmidt is in even with the base at third base to guard against the bunt.

721
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:31,000
Carew the batter with George Brett on deck.

722
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:35,000
The pitch is low and Carew draws a walk.

723
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:39,000
Many a rally has been started with a base on ball.

724
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,000
Well let's see what happens with Brett coming up.

725
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:44,000
He has walked and he's 0 for 1.

726
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:47,000
We're at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia.

727
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:52,000
Andy Musser alongside. He'll be conducting the post game show here on CBS Radio.

728
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:57,000
Brent Mussberger at the other microphone. I'm Jack Buck and we've had some action.

729
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,000
Carew takes a good size lead.

730
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:03,000
The pitch on the way. Brett swings and a long one to very deep center field.

731
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:04,000
Sabina's going to get it.

732
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:08,000
Way back near the track he has it and Carew returns to first.

733
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:11,000
Brett hit it to the deepest part of the ballpark.

734
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:16,000
High and out and two men gone.

735
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:24,000
So it's back up to Carlton Fisk who's at the plate for his first time this year.

736
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:31,000
He's one of the most dramatic home runs in the history of baseball during the World Series last year.

737
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:38,000
Batting 255. He has nine home runs.

738
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,000
Carew walked earlier and is at first with two outs.

739
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:51,000
In the sixth inning now a throw to first and a late tag by Perez.

740
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:53,000
Each club has used three pitchers.

741
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,000
So has followed Randy Jones and Tom Siever to the hill.

742
01:08:56,000 --> 01:09:06,000
First pitch to Fisk is high and away.

743
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:11,000
In time called is the plate umpire Harry Windelstedt sends a new ball to the mound.

744
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:14,000
Another Cincinnati player.

745
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:18,000
Ken Griffey is sufficiently warm. He comes in from the both end of the dugout.

746
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:26,000
Soon as the lineup evidently pesky with a swing and a miss. One ball one strike.

747
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:32,000
As much as Fisk is about as confident a guy as you'll ever encounter in baseball.

748
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:37,000
And cocky might be a better word than confident but he backs it up.

749
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:40,000
He can pitch.

750
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:46,000
Took him a long time to get signed. He had to beg to be signed by professional baseball.

751
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:50,000
Carew is running the pitchers low and Boone cannot make a throw.

752
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:54,000
So Carew steals the base with two men out.

753
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:56,000
Stolen base for Rod Carew.

754
01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:02,000
Now Yaskomsky can change his hitting tactics with two men out.

755
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:09,000
Now he's gone to two balls and a strike to the Boston catcher.

756
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:13,000
Schmitz deep behind the base at third. Bola playing a deep short.

757
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:18,000
Here's the pitch and a high pop foul behind the plate. Boone has the play.

758
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:21,000
Should end the inning. He has it. The inning is over.

759
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:25,000
Fisk leaves the runner stranded. No runs, no hits. One left.

760
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:28,000
There have been three left for the American League. They've been in the two double plays.

761
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:32,000
Middle of the sixth inning. National League leading 4-1.

762
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:35,000
And let's pause. Ten seconds for station identification.

763
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:38,000
This is the CBS Radio Network.

764
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:41,000
All American country.

765
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:46,000
WTHI.

766
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,000
Terrahoot.

767
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:52,000
I came home one day, my wife says, remember when you turtle waxed the car.

768
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:56,000
It still looks great. That part show stood up to everything.

769
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:59,000
I said terrific. But how'd the car get in the dining room?

770
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:03,000
She says easy. I took a left when I came out of the kitchen.

771
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:07,000
Wax is a hot tub, isn't it?

772
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:13,000
That turtle wax is so easy. I could polish my car faster than my girlfriend puts on her lipstick.

773
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:17,000
But with her mouth, that takes half an hour.

774
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:22,000
Wax goes on like that. Easy turtle wax.

775
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:27,000
That turtle wax shine is so much like a mirror. Somebody could save their private life shadow every question.

776
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:31,000
As a matter of fact, ladies and gents, speak up. I win.

777
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:36,000
WTHI.

778
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:41,000
The Lakewood Orchids.

779
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:46,000
WTHI.

780
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:51,000
The Democratic National Convention.

781
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:56,000
George Verman reporting on the CBS Radio Network.

782
01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:01,000
And apparently we'll work late tonight, perhaps to midnight.

783
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:06,000
We had Sharon Lovejoy tonight at a Carter raid. Mark Zwicker at the presence of Massachusetts delegates.

784
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,000
If they didn't go along with Carter tomorrow night.

785
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:13,000
They did say that if we did not want to go along with Carter, that we would be blacklisted.

786
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:18,000
And that Governor Carter already did not like Massachusetts.

787
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:23,000
And this could even further that division.

788
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:27,000
Ezekiel told CBS News he's asked for an apology from the Carter people.

789
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:31,000
Not from Carter himself, but perhaps from campaign manager Hamilton Jordan.

790
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:34,000
They haven't been able to get any reaction from the Carter people yet.

791
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:38,000
Meanwhile the platform goes on. That's it at the Democratic National Convention for now.

792
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:41,000
I'm George Verman, CBS News.

793
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:46,000
And here at CBS Radio, we're keeping you up to date with the all-star action as well as the Democratic Convention.

794
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:49,000
Jack, you've got a couple of changes out there defensively.

795
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,000
Only a couple in this half, Benny. The new third baseman, Don Money.

796
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:55,000
The new second baseman, Phil Garner. Money of Milwaukee, Garner of Oakland.

797
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:59,000
Luzinski leads off against Teon. Strike one, call it the knees.

798
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:01,000
We're in the bottom of the sixth inning.

799
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:05,000
The National League is a home club and they're leading 4-1.

800
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:08,000
Luzinski leads it off here.

801
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:15,000
And takes the ball inside. He's 0-2.

802
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:20,000
Cesar Cedeno waits on deck. Luzinski has played the entire game.

803
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,000
And takes it along away. Ball 2.

804
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:26,000
Luzinski is well up in the batter's box.

805
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:31,000
He's rather close together. A short stroke, but he backs a wallop.

806
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:36,000
Nobody on or out the pitch. From Luis Teon, a swing at a high, pop fly behind first.

807
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:41,000
Near the foul line, Mike Jopper goes foul and caught by Carrell.

808
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:44,000
By Carrell, who ran a mile for that one. I made a dandy play to retire.

809
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:47,000
Greg Luzinski who's 0-3.

810
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:50,000
Jack Phil Garner, the new second baseman, was over there.

811
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:55,000
Of course, he was added to the team because of an injury to the Yankees' Willie Randolph.

812
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:59,000
And Garner on that particular play was playing Luzinski to fall and he couldn't get there,

813
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:02,000
but Carrell made the catch. 1-0.

814
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:10,000
Now scoring off Teon thus far. Two runs charged to the starter, Midrich, and two to Catfish Hunter.

815
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:14,000
Cesar Cedeno, heading for the first time tonight.

816
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:19,000
And the fellow can do it all. You're supposed to say that about every member of both All-Star teams.

817
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:27,000
Cedeno a right-handed batter against Teon. Swing! That misses strike one.

818
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:34,000
Cedeno from the Dominican Republic, Luis Teon, native Cuban.

819
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:37,000
He plays Cedeno to pull the ball.

820
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:48,000
He's batting 2-97 and he has been torrid lately. Swing and a miss at a bad ball high. Strike two.

821
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:55,000
Cedeno batting with one out in the sixth inning. The National League on top, 4-1 over the Americans.

822
01:14:55,000 --> 01:15:00,000
Cat Teon kicks, spins, and fires high with a breaking ball, one and two.

823
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:06,000
Teon comes at you and every conceivable angle.

824
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:11,000
He spins and kicks and flails his glove around and finally out comes the baseball.

825
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:16,000
Now to Cedeno. High with a fastball, two and two.

826
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:21,000
Jack, it's amazing that Luis Teon can pick up his target the way he turns his back on the catcher.

827
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:24,000
So many of those people just concentrate all the time on that bit.

828
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:26,000
I guess he can do it with his eyes closed.

829
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:28,000
He's been around so long now.

830
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:31,000
Cedeno calls time.

831
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:34,000
Now back in and waiting.

832
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:37,000
Batting with one out, nobody on base.

833
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:39,000
Here it comes.

834
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:40,000
He looks head and load.

835
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:51,000
And a full count of three and two, and then I want Cedeno on base because he can run.

836
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:55,000
Bob Bloom of the Phillies waits on Beck.

837
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:59,000
Cedeno with a 3-2 count.

838
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:03,000
Teon brings it to him, swing and a foul, and will do it again.

839
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:06,000
The National League has out hit the American League, 7-4.

840
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:16,000
The National League leading 4-1, George Foster of the Reds has driven in three of the runs for the leaders.

841
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:22,000
Steve Garvey plated the other.

842
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,000
Teon to Cedeno once more.

843
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:29,000
Swing and a miss, he's struck him out.

844
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:34,000
Down on strikes goes Cedeno, and that's five and a roll retired by the Boston right-hander.

845
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:37,000
Here's a big hand for Bob Bloom.

846
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:39,000
Put him out to a catch.

847
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,000
Son of Ray Bloom, former American League insurer.

848
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:45,000
Boom, what a year he's having, batting 3-0-9.

849
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:49,000
He's driven in, 40 runs.

850
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:54,000
Well, then only 20 runs all of last season.

851
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:58,000
So he has found himself a fine defensive catcher also.

852
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:00,000
Swing and a high, puff fly will end the inning.

853
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:01,000
Who wants it?

854
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:06,000
It's up to Blanger, down in order goes the National League, 1-2-3.

855
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:14,000
And after six, National League four, American League one.

856
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:16,000
The American League's offense is due up.

857
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:20,000
That would be Lynn who hit that line drive home run into right field.

858
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:22,000
It is 4-1 with the National League ahead.

859
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:26,000
Jackie pointed out that Tim Griffey had been warming up down in right field.

860
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:30,000
He has come in to play right field now without all of us pitching over the left.

861
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:33,000
If one of the five fillies has come out, that would be Greg Lesinski.

862
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,000
Lesinski was all for free while he was in there,

863
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:38,000
and he has left after playing the first six innings.

864
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:43,000
We're going into the seventh inning with Lonepisco on the mound for the National League club.

865
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:46,000
Bob Bloom catching, Smith at third, Boa at short,

866
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:49,000
Cash at second, first baseman is Tony Perez,

867
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:54,000
Al Oliver in left, Sedanio in center, and Griffey in right.

868
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:56,000
Looks like we'll have a pinch hitter in the setting.

869
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,000
Fred Lynn will lead it off, and then Blanger and Teon is due to bat third.

870
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:02,000
Tony Markham, a bullpen, is busy once again.

871
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:06,000
Because, Jack, CBS radio sports are pleased to be here in Philadelphia

872
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:08,000
covering this All-Star game, and then later this fall,

873
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:12,000
we look ahead to the league championship playoffs and the World Series.

874
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:16,000
They'll all be broadcast on radio exclusively over the CBS network.

875
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:21,000
This is the start of a four-year contract with CBS radio and professional baseball.

876
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:26,000
CBS radio will be broadcasting the All-Star game, the playoffs, and the World Series.

877
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:29,000
We hope you're enjoying our broadcast this evening.

878
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:33,000
Fred Musburger, Andy Musser, and Jack Buck from Betterton Stadium, Philadelphia.

879
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:37,000
Ken Conner and McConniff, Lonepisco will take on the Rookie of the Year

880
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:39,000
from last year in the American League.

881
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:45,000
Fred Lynn, first pick to the left-handed batter, foul into the sixth straight line.

882
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:48,000
Lynn has given the American League their only marker.

883
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:52,000
After fouling out in the second, he founded a home run in the fourth inning.

884
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:57,000
A home run tonight, one by Lynn, one by George Foster of the Reds in the National League.

885
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:59,000
Lynn with a swing up out of the screen, strike two.

886
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:02,000
What a sweet, lovely swing this guy.

887
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:06,000
What a fine young athlete, and of course he is one of a handful of players

888
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:08,000
who still has not yet signed a contract.

889
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:11,000
It was troubled by that earlier this year with the Red Sox.

890
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:13,000
Here's the ball outside to Lynn, and along those lines,

891
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:17,000
a very important meeting will take place here tomorrow and put it off you.

892
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:21,000
Agreement with the new proposal, which the players seem to think is okay.

893
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:24,000
Here's a swing and a miss, and he struck him out.

894
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:26,000
The ball in the dirt, and boom, tagged him in Montefiasko.

895
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:31,000
Wisely reminded the catcher, Pagan, what she did, all the strikeout,

896
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:35,000
and no hits against Montefiasko in an inning and a third.

897
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:38,000
It started early here at the Reds, the National League is one corner off.

898
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:42,000
They got two in the first, and not much going for the Americans.

899
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:45,000
Right now, Jack, warming up for the American League is Frank Tanana

900
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:48,000
for the California Angels. He's an outstanding left-hander.

901
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:52,000
Some people tell me that he is the best left-hander in the game.

902
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:56,000
Name all the others, Randy Jones, not like, whoever you want.

903
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:58,000
Ballenger took a strike and now a ball.

904
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:01,000
Mark Ballenger, the Orioles batting for the first time this evening,

905
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:04,000
a right-handed hitter, they play him straight away.

906
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:07,000
In the seventh inning, the American League cannot generate any offense.

907
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:10,000
Breaking ball, he bailed out, but it went low.

908
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:12,000
In balls and a strike.

909
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:14,000
Ballenger batting 273.

910
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:19,000
The Oriole Weaver is charging in Baltimore.

911
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:23,000
Here he comes, slamming in a high up fly in a short right.

912
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:27,000
Riffey comes in, gets there easily, and has it before the up.

913
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:29,000
It seems to be the big question tomorrow.

914
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:33,000
Can the owners agree in one very up session?

915
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:36,000
I think some of the owners want more time to study this proposal

916
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:40,000
that will be put on the table in front of them now.

917
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:44,000
In fact, they've only been picking around a lot more than the owners have.

918
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:46,000
They know a little bit more about it.

919
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,000
At least they're approaching a compromise,

920
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:50,000
and from what we have heard here in Philadelphia,

921
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:53,000
it would bind each player to his cause for six years,

922
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:55,000
and then one option here beyond that.

923
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:58,000
What we don't know is whether or not players like Leonard who have not signed

924
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:00,000
will be affected by the ruling,

925
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:02,000
and all these things will have to be hammered out.

926
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:04,000
At least finally we're close to an agreement

927
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:07,000
and we can go back to concentrating on just baseball.

928
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:10,000
The plate, the switch-hitting catcher of the Minnesota Twins,

929
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:13,000
and he becomes the youngest player to ever play in an all-star game.

930
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:16,000
Now what a fine young man and a great baseball talent he is,

931
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:21,000
batting left-handed against Montefioreco with two men out.

932
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:25,000
He is only 20 years old.

933
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:31,000
He's quite a while away, about eight months away from his 21st birthday.

934
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:34,000
And probably odds on at this moment to be the rookie of the year

935
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:37,000
in the American League, Butch Weininger.

936
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:41,000
Swinging on this, one ball, two strikes, as Montefioreco got by.

937
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:45,000
Previously, Jerry Walker, who is now a scout for the Yankees, I believe,

938
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:48,000
was the youngest player.

939
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:51,000
That honor now belongs to Butch Weininger of the Twins.

940
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:54,000
He looks at the ball down and in, two and two.

941
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:57,000
Jack was walking that young pitcher with Baltimore.

942
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:59,000
Right.

943
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:02,000
He tuned around for a while and a hot shot for a while,

944
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:05,000
but I think it's so hard to soundline him and he's with the Yankees now,

945
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:09,000
scouting to two-pitch low from Montefioreco to Weininger.

946
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:12,000
Win the seventh inning, two out, nobody on.

947
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:16,000
National League four, American League one, as Weininger battles Montefioreco.

948
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:19,000
Trying to get on base ahead of Phil Garner who's on deck.

949
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:22,000
Swinging a foul keeps Weininger at the plate.

950
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:26,000
Dean Mark, who's coaching at third base, is really proud of this youngster,

951
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:31,000
one of his Minnesota twins.

952
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,000
And when you meet him, glad it's yes sir or no sir,

953
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:37,000
and if he plays, I certainly will.

954
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:40,000
Here's Andy Young-Pillard.

955
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:47,000
Weininger fouls another one off the mask of the catcher, Bob Booth.

956
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:50,000
Booth catching.

957
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:53,000
National League lineup dominated by Phillies now with Schmidt at third,

958
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:59,000
Booth short, Cash at second base.

959
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:02,000
Montefioreco's full count delivery.

960
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:05,000
High and away and Weininger draws the walk.

961
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:09,000
That's the second pass by Montefioreco.

962
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:14,000
And it is the third walk given to the American League tonight.

963
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:16,000
Double plays at this time of the night.

964
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:19,000
They've left, they're running on with two out and Phil Garner,

965
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:23,000
right-handed hitting second baseman, is at the plate.

966
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:29,000
Garner is batting 257 with the Oakland A's.

967
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:31,000
And batting for the first time tonight.

968
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:37,000
Fouls run away, strike one.

969
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:40,000
The action came early in this contest.

970
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:43,000
Two runs in the first for the National League,

971
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:48,000
two in the third on the George Foster homer.

972
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:54,000
And the second by Lin came in the fourth inning for the only American League run.

973
01:23:54,000 --> 01:24:00,000
Weininger leads away at first and Garner fouls one away, strike two.

974
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:05,000
Waiting on Dexter, bat next to Mickey Rivers.

975
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:08,000
Jack Rickford is now warming up for the National League,

976
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:13,000
the Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher.

977
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:16,000
First it was Randy Johns and Tom Sieber.

978
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:20,000
Dexter on a swing and a miss and a high hard one and Garner strikes out.

979
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:25,000
Second strike out in the inning for one of Dexter's two-pitch two-score descendants.

980
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:29,000
A walk in one left, four-stranded for the Americans.

981
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:33,000
At seventh inning, stretch time, National League four, American League one.

982
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:37,000
To me, a lot of car advertising sounds something like this.

983
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:41,000
Mr. Average, tell us about your new car.

984
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:47,000
In my own words, my new car is truly a great automobile.

985
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:51,000
The Javallero, I know who I am.

986
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:56,000
And the Javallero is a car for the men most who I am.

987
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:59,000
Well, America, we did it.

988
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:03,000
We made a big car small and a small car big.

989
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:08,000
Precious times of car advertising and all the cars in the world.

990
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:12,000
The new test magazine, Subaru, car lining is here.

991
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:15,000
Maybe it's because only we have a four-wheel drive wagon,

992
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:18,000
or because every Subaru has front-wheel drive,

993
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:24,000
the CT engine and a price tag makes us an economy car from today's economy.

994
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:28,000
At Subaru, we don't have to manufacture great things to say about our car,

995
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:31,000
because we manufacture a great car.

996
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:35,000
Test drive at Subaru at your local Subaru dealer.

997
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:38,000
Campaign 76, the Democratic National Convention.

998
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:41,000
I'm George Berman reporting on the CBS Radio Network.

999
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:44,000
That question of whether a Carter worker, Mark Zwicker,

1000
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:47,000
tried to lean on dissidents in the Massachusetts delegation

1001
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:50,000
and threatened them with some kind of blacklisting

1002
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:53,000
has drawn a reaction from the Carter people at last.

1003
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:55,000
And CBS's Sharon Lovejoy reports.

1004
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:59,000
I talked with Jody Powell, Carter's press secretary, just a few minutes ago.

1005
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:02,000
He said the remark was made by a student who jokingly said,

1006
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:06,000
you people better straighten up or you're going to be on Hamilton Jordan's blacklist.

1007
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:10,000
Powell said that the Carter staff regret the remark was taken seriously

1008
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:12,000
and has extended an apology.

1009
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:14,000
Pretty much what old Tom was here with that extra,

1010
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:17,000
and Carter has it too safely in the bag to invite trouble

1011
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:20,000
with any kind of strong-arm tactics at this point.

1012
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:22,000
Eleven more platform presenters to go on the floor,

1013
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:26,000
and the convention may disprove Chairman Robert Sprouse's prediction

1014
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:29,000
that we'd be out of here before midnight every night.

1015
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:32,000
That's it at the Democratic National Convention for now.

1016
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:34,000
George Herman, CBS News.

1017
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:39,000
And back in Philadelphia, we are coming into the bottom half

1018
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:41,000
of the seventh inning of this All-Star game

1019
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:43,000
with the National League leading the American 4-1.

1020
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:46,000
Jack Buck already has praised Frank Panana,

1021
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,000
and now we're going to get a chance to see him working.

1022
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:51,000
Jack Allen's shortstop is a remarkable story.

1023
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:55,000
Buddy Potek, only five for the smallest man ever to play on All-Star.

1024
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:57,000
That's one of the great things about baseball.

1025
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:59,000
It's great to be able to play this game.

1026
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:02,000
You don't have to be anything but talented.

1027
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:04,000
And he can do a lot of things.

1028
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:05,000
He's a strong little fella.

1029
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:07,000
He'll pull you when you look at him.

1030
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:12,000
He gave out one of the favorite quotes of all time, I think,

1031
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:16,000
when they asked him how it felt to be the shortest man in the big leagues.

1032
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:19,000
He said it's better than being the shortest man in the minor leagues.

1033
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:22,000
And Potek has taken over a short batting six,

1034
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:25,000
and Frank Panana, a talented left-hander,

1035
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:27,000
follows Luis Tion to the mound.

1036
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:30,000
Luis gave up only one hit, no runs in two innings,

1037
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:32,000
struck out one walk none.

1038
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:37,000
And Frank Panana, a California left-hander,

1039
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:40,000
comes into the game to pitch to the National League in the bottom of the seventh.

1040
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:42,000
It's been a while since we've had any action.

1041
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:47,000
We had Larry Bullock, and his first at bat will try to get something going.

1042
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:55,000
He'll be followed by Mike Smith, and then Al Ho.

1043
01:27:55,000 --> 01:28:01,000
So we have Don Money at third base,

1044
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:03,000
Freddy Potek at short for the American League,

1045
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:05,000
Bill Garner at second base,

1046
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:07,000
and Rod Carell, who's played all the way at first,

1047
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:10,000
called the fist behind the plate with Frank Panana on the mound,

1048
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:12,000
and Krumski on the left,

1049
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:14,000
and Loonan Center in the right through those Mickey Rivers.

1050
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:18,000
Larry Bullock, no leader off,

1051
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,000
switch hitting shortstop with the Phillies,

1052
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:23,000
that's right-handed against Panana.

1053
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:27,000
Hold on, the National League leading here in the bottom of the seventh.

1054
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:29,000
Not much action lately.

1055
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:31,000
Here's the pitch, followed away.

1056
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:34,000
It seemed when DeRose let off with a three-base hit in the fifth

1057
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:38,000
and Bill to score, that might pick up things for the American League,

1058
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:42,000
but they didn't cash in on the psychological lift.

1059
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:49,000
And here's the next one, DeBoer, inside for the ball.

1060
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:51,000
Larry likes to bunt the ball.

1061
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:54,000
Money knows him well, having played with the Phillies,

1062
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:57,000
but still he's rather deep behind third.

1063
01:28:57,000 --> 01:29:02,000
He steps behind the base, the pitch, breaking ball low,

1064
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:05,000
ball two, to the north.

1065
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:10,000
And DeBoer whoops him over, a good batting eye, draws a lot of walks.

1066
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:13,000
The crowd will come alive when Schwick comes to the plate,

1067
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:15,000
the big home run threat.

1068
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:20,000
Here's a foul by Boy, and it is two and two.

1069
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:30,000
A lot of baseball scouts tell me that Panana might be the best left-hander in the game.

1070
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:33,000
Ball leading off here in the home half of the seventh inning,

1071
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:35,000
four to one, National League.

1072
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:39,000
The pitch, curve, in the dirt, ball three, three and two.

1073
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:44,000
And going forward, both clubhouses tonight took hands with each of the players individually

1074
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:49,000
and they have some of the quotes of the conversations which took place

1075
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:54,000
between the president and the players, and Brent will select some of the hotter items for you.

1076
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:59,000
There's a five-ball into right, chase by Rivers, and he catches up with it and holds it in.

1077
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:02,000
Looks like that ball might get down, the Rivers can run.

1078
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:09,000
Full across the outfield, a retired ball, and here's Mike Schmidt.

1079
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:12,000
Any of those conversations strike you, Brent?

1080
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:16,000
He walked up to Robin Roberts in the National League locker room, Robin of course the honorary captain.

1081
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:19,000
He said, how many games did you win, 240?

1082
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:22,000
And Roberts told the president, 286.

1083
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:25,000
The president then was blushing slightly and said, I should have known.

1084
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:28,000
So one of his advisors didn't get the right figure there.

1085
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:36,000
Mike Schmidt is at the plate, the slugging third baseman of the Phillies, right-handed batter, ball one is high.

1086
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:40,000
That's while it really gets into the ball with a short scope.

1087
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:43,000
It flies off his bat when he makes contact.

1088
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:47,000
He's got 22 home runs, driven in 60.

1089
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:53,000
And the pitch, right call, and then I got one in on him.

1090
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:58,000
Schmidt, Dayton, Ohio, Ohio University.

1091
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:00,000
Here's an Atkins, Ohio.

1092
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:05,000
One ball, one strike, the pitch and a ground ball, the short contact scoops and throws.

1093
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:07,000
He is out at first base.

1094
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:13,000
That was an example of a shortstop being able to play very deep on this curve and handle a hard-hit ball.

1095
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:16,000
Schmidt has retired and Oliver bats for the first time.

1096
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:21,000
I think Bob Blake has just summed up that conversation between President Ford and Robin Roberts.

1097
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:26,000
He said that a Michigan man would never give a Michigan state man full credit, and that's still true.

1098
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:31,000
Robin, of course, an outstanding smart man, made it to the President's place in football at Michigan.

1099
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:35,000
Here's a solid hitter, Al Oliver, the center fielder of the Pirates.

1100
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:37,000
Hits one on the ground to the right side.

1101
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:41,000
The pitcher covers, takes it from Carew, and Kanana sets them down.

1102
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:44,000
One, two, three, and not much action lately after seven.

1103
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:47,000
National League Four, American League One.

1104
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:50,000
At last, Meece brings you fine liberty since you can toss in the washer and dryer.

1105
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:57,000
You choose the style three-piece trio, a suit with an extra pair of contrasting slacks or three-piece vest and pay just $77.

1106
01:31:57,000 --> 01:32:02,000
A savings of $33 because these suits were made to sell for $110.

1107
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:08,000
Made of background polyester, these suits are guaranteed watchable and come in six colors, sizes 38 to 46.

1108
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:16,000
Choose the style three-piece trio or three-piece vest and pay just $77 at Meece, downtown Plaza North in Looney Creek.

1109
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:20,000
A good plumbing contractor is as much a guardian of your health as your doctor.

1110
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:29,000
Why? Because improper plumbing installations made by unqualified persons can lead to expensive corrections and even serious illness.

1111
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:34,000
Whenever your home needs some plumbing repairs, remember to call one of the plumbing pros.

1112
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:41,000
They're trained and licensed to work to standard and quality only learned through years of apprenticeship and public health education.

1113
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:47,000
The Piping Industry Fund suggests that you get the bill, your plumber. Be sure he's qualified to work for you.

1114
01:32:47,000 --> 01:33:12,000
We're prepared to start the eighth inning and here's the fourth pitcher for the National League, Rick Rosen who's out there and he'll be backed up by his own shortstop.

1115
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:17,000
The whistle of the Dodgers. Boone continues to be the National League catcher.

1116
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:24,000
Tony Perez is over there at first, Dave Cash at second, Mike Schmidt is in the third baseman and in the outfield from left to right we have Al Oliver of the Pirates,

1117
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:34,000
Cesar Cervano of Houston and Ken Zippy of Cincinnati over in right field and we've got Mickey Rivers and Carl Yostromski waiting to take on Roden.

1118
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:38,000
Jack, as you pointed out, it's been very quiet. The American League's got to get something going.

1119
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:50,000
Well, it's been Randy Jones, Tom Siever and John Manufusco and now it's Rick Roden, the undefeated Dodger right-hander with a record of 8-0 and they'll see some smoke now in the minor innings.

1120
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:58,000
We're going into the eighth inning with the National League on top, 4-1 and Roden, R-H-O-D-E-N, can throw as hard as anybody in baseball.

1121
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:02,000
And he's the pitcher to work against the American League here in the top of the eighth inning.

1122
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:10,000
The muscle of the Dodgers takes over at shortstop and he's batting in the number four spot, just vacated by Manufusco.

1123
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:20,000
Manufusco pitched two innings and allowed it. No runs, no hits. He's banned three.

1124
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:26,000
He's banned two and he walked two. And Roden is the fourth pitcher on the home side.

1125
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:34,000
It's Tom Siever, Manufusco and Roden. So each club has used four hitters. Nicky Rivers leads it off and it's only a bat in this game.

1126
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:39,000
Trying to get something generated for the American League. They need some baserunners.

1127
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:44,000
Roden, the big right-hander, goes to work and it's high away for a ball.

1128
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:52,000
The Dodgers have brought Roden along rather slowly to the point now where he is a very, very effective hitter.

1129
01:34:52,000 --> 01:35:05,000
As witnesses record of eight, no. Rivers with a foul to the screen evens the count. One ball, one spade.

1130
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:13,000
Rick Roden, he's from Florida. Six-four, 200 pounder.

1131
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:18,000
Broken in 71 with a ton of beach, been with the Dodgers system throughout.

1132
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:25,000
Nicky Rivers takes a strike call on the outside corner. One ball, two strikes.

1133
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:33,000
Rivers will be followed by Jaskromski and then Rod Carew. Carew is one of the few who has played the entire game to this point.

1134
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:40,000
Nicky jumps back. Ball two, two and two. Roden's got that good size like Don Drysdale.

1135
01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:45,000
And he uses it. He'll intimidate those hitters. He'll move them off the plate.

1136
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:51,000
Not very polite out there. We're in the eighth inning, nobody on or out.

1137
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:58,000
They play Rivers to hit the left, the pitch on the way and a high foul backing out of play.

1138
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:02,000
Leads the leadoff man up there.

1139
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:12,000
Rivers is one of the additions to the Yankees, which made them, at this point, runaway leaders in the American League East.

1140
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:17,000
Tony Priman warms up now for the National League.

1141
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:21,000
Cage Roden gets into trouble.

1142
01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:27,000
Two balls, two strikes. Right-hander pitches to Nicky Rivers and a swing and a chopper to the mound.

1143
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:32,000
He'll beat it out. Roden throws to Hayden and Rivers streaks down the line.

1144
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:36,000
I had a stopwatch on him, right?

1145
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:43,000
I got him in 3-9 going down there and he'd beat that way easily.

1146
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:46,000
And he has helped change the image of the New York Yankees completely.

1147
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:49,000
When they used to dominate, of course, they hit all of those home runs.

1148
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:54,000
And now they've worked together a couple of singles and sacrificed and stolen base into one of his rivers.

1149
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:56,000
And he's added that great dimension speed.

1150
01:36:56,000 --> 01:37:01,000
The old Baltimore chop, Nicky Rivers on his first base. Leading off here in the eighth inning.

1151
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:06,000
What an excitement. R. Yostemsky, 0-1 in the game at the plate against Rick Roden.

1152
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:12,000
Roden fielded that ball, hit by Rivers, and might be doing some running here despite the score.

1153
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:18,000
Here's a strike call, the ads on the outside corner. Roden made a play, but much too late at first base.

1154
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:25,000
Now the infield of Schmidt, Russell, Cash, and Perez is holding against the runner, but for the double play.

1155
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:32,000
Throw to first, the runner back. The National League has pulled off two twin killings tonight.

1156
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:41,000
We have Oliver on left, Cedeno in center, and Griffey in right. A throw to first base and nothing to it.

1157
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:52,000
And that ain't getting late for the American League and Harold Johnson outside to Yostemsky.

1158
01:37:52,000 --> 01:38:00,000
One ball, one strike. The visitors now have five hits.

1159
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:05,000
On a home run by Fred Lind for their only run. The National League has seven hits.

1160
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:16,000
Rivers, a big lead. Throw over there, he's back in time.

1161
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:22,000
Lead off infield hit by Rivers, a shorter lead now. The pitch, Yostemsky, swing and a miss.

1162
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:31,000
One and two.

1163
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:36,000
Rick Roden following Randy Jones, who stands to be the winner if it stays as is.

1164
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:40,000
Then Tom Seaver, Montefiusco, and now Roden here in the eighth.

1165
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:47,000
The pitch, Yostemsky hits a double play ball to catch. Over to second out and on to first out.

1166
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:52,000
Bill Russell was almost taken out of the play by Mickey Rivers, but he continued on with the throw.

1167
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:57,000
And that's the third D.P. tonight. And again, that was the speed of Rivers.

1168
01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:02,000
I don't think Russell anticipated Mickey being down on top of him as quickly as he was.

1169
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:05,000
Rivers sliding a bit to his right to get out of the way.

1170
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:09,000
So he was playing tough baseball and trying to break that up in an all-star game.

1171
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:12,000
Today, a lesser shortstop would not have been able to get out of the way.

1172
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:19,000
But Russell was able to avoid the sliding Rivers and complete the double play in the third of the night for the National League.

1173
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:22,000
And Carew has to bat with the bases empty.

1174
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:28,000
High for ball one, so earlier Carew hit into a double play.

1175
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:33,000
And Bobby Gritch hit into a D.P. and now Yostemsky has the honor.

1176
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:42,000
Bases empty, two out, Carew with a high foul. Out of play, one ball on strike.

1177
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:56,000
63,974 watching the action. Better than the stadium in Philadelphia.

1178
01:39:56,000 --> 01:40:01,000
Carew with the bases empty and a 1-1 count. Swings and hits a foul back and out of play.

1179
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:05,000
We have a quote from Mark Fidrick who started for the American League.

1180
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:09,000
He said, I don't know what happened. I was up for the game, felt good, wanted to throw good.

1181
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:12,000
It's hard to believe I'm here. Wow, I can't believe I'm here.

1182
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:15,000
It's a great honor. All my friends got to see me.

1183
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:21,000
So I'll give up a couple of runs. Stands to be the loser, unless it changes.

1184
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:25,000
Carew battling to get on with two men out. Rick Roden pitches.

1185
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:35,000
High with a blistering fastball, two and two. Looks like he's throwing harder than anybody here tonight.

1186
01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:40,000
Down money in the on-deck circle.

1187
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:44,000
The pitch to Carew is high.

1188
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:47,000
Carew is all for two with a walk and a stolen base.

1189
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:53,000
Else hasn't done well in all-star game.

1190
01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:57,000
A full count from Rick Roden.

1191
01:40:57,000 --> 01:41:00,000
Carew with a bat right down on the end waiting.

1192
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:03,000
Here it comes and a shot into left center field.

1193
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:06,000
On the run is the left fielder Oliver and he has it for the out.

1194
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:10,000
Some money will lead off in the night. A hard hit ball but out.

1195
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:13,000
Now runs one hit, a double play and nobody left.

1196
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:16,000
So the American League is in in a three-double play and is in left four.

1197
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:20,000
Bottom of the eighth, National League four, American League one.

1198
01:41:20,000 --> 01:41:23,000
Castle towers shrouded with mist.

1199
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:26,000
Streets that knew Napoleon's troops.

1200
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:28,000
Echoes of the Chauvinist waltz.

1201
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:31,000
Towns that were old when the pilgrims sailed.

1202
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:40,000
Here in Europe you'll find Kelly Springfield radial tires proving themselves on the now winding cobblestone streets or the punishing Autobahn.

1203
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:46,000
Kelly Springfield tires have won over Europe's drivers with their new round all-weather performance.

1204
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:52,000
In 76 countries on five continents, Kelly Springfield tires are quality leaders.

1205
01:41:52,000 --> 01:42:00,000
Now in America, Kelly Springfield announces an incredible new tire cord, Aramid Plus, as strong as steel with less weight.

1206
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:05,000
Tire cord is one of the many factors that affect performance, quality and strength.

1207
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:10,000
Put this fiber on a radial tire and have a ride smoother than a steel-belted radial tire.

1208
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:13,000
Aramid Plus, a step ahead of steel.

1209
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:19,000
Kelly Springfield, tires that make a world of difference.

1210
01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:24,000
Campaign 76, the Democratic National Convention.

1211
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:28,000
George Herman, CBS News, reporting on the CBS radio network.

1212
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:33,000
The speaker for the platform at the moment is Coretta King, the widow of Dr. Martin Luther King.

1213
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:38,000
And she reminded the delegates that in 200 years we've come a long, long way,

1214
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:43,000
but she added, as anyone who was black knows, we still have a long, long way to go.

1215
01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:47,000
And now she's talking more about the progress of 200 years.

1216
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:59,000
Against this fragile background, with the most careful and cautious consideration of the language they would use,

1217
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:04,000
they found it impossible to declare the logic of their decision.

1218
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:10,000
And she will end by asking the party, its people and its leaders to assert with bravery, love and passion for justice

1219
01:43:10,000 --> 01:43:13,000
that the nation must rise up and live out the meaning of its creed.

1220
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:19,000
That's it at the Democratic National Convention. This is George Herman, CBS News.

1221
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:24,000
And here in Philadelphia, the All-Star Game, it is the pitchers who have taken charge.

1222
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:30,000
The last run was scored back in the top of the fourth when Fred Lynn powered a home run for the American League.

1223
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:36,000
The only run and the score right now, Jack Buck 4-1, and it's been all matched in the league except for that one.

1224
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:42,000
Only a total of four picks in the game, seven by the National League, five by the Americans,

1225
01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:47,000
Frank Sinanah of the Angels will try to prevent the National League from scoring here,

1226
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:52,000
with Dave Cash leading off in the eighth inning to give his American Leagueers the chance of things in the night.

1227
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:56,000
Oh, one inside to Dave Cash.

1228
01:43:56,000 --> 01:44:00,000
A right-handed batter who crowds the plate and ordinarily hits the ball to the opposite field.

1229
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:03,000
He'll be followed by Tony Perez.

1230
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:08,000
And then a six to seven, sets him down in order, and throws inside ball two.

1231
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:12,000
Jack, this is my first opportunity to see a baseball game in Philadelphia.

1232
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:16,000
I must say that the message boards here keep the fans well informed.

1233
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:20,000
Who's warming up in the bullpen? They've got the lineups, they've got the up-to-date average of everybody.

1234
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:22,000
It's a pleasure to watch baseball here.

1235
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:26,000
As they come to the ballpark, you won't miss a thing here in Philadelphia

1236
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:30,000
and most of the modern ballparks around the country.

1237
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:34,000
Cash followed on the way, two balls and a strike to count.

1238
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:42,000
From the honor out is Dave Cash, choked up on the bat handle, rips it in the left for a base hit.

1239
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:49,000
A leadoff single here in the eighth inning by Dave Price, and it gives the Philadelphia fans a chance to cheer.

1240
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:57,000
Roz Lewinsky did nothing, and Cole is retired, Moon is retired, Cash gets a base hit.

1241
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:02,000
And Tony Perez is the batter.

1242
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:09,000
Tony is batting for the first time tonight, the big RBI man of the, one of the big RBI men of the Cincinnati Reds.

1243
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:17,000
Cash can run, but doesn't try to steal very often, draws a throw, and he is back in time.

1244
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:23,000
At this point, this is the lowest scoring All-Star game since 1968.

1245
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:31,000
Cash with the lead, and Anna Jackson pitches. Perez takes it high and away, ball on.

1246
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:39,000
John McNamara coaching at third base, Danny Ozark, the first base coach for the National League.

1247
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:44,000
They're in good shape, batting in the bottom of the eighth, leading 4-1 over the American League.

1248
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:52,000
Monique Patek garnered, the crew looking for the double play ball, disc behind the plate is given the sign.

1249
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:57,000
And Anna brings it in, and a foul to the screen, one ball, one strike.

1250
01:45:57,000 --> 01:46:02,000
Wally Fingler's warm hook to the American League, Woody Freiman warmed up earlier for the National League.

1251
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:13,000
63,974, almost 64,000 in attendance here in Philadelphia.

1252
01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:19,000
Cash draws another throw and gets back in time.

1253
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:31,000
Frank Tanana, he followed, Mark Fidrich, Catfish Hunter, Louis Tion to the mound, Fidrich gave up two, Hunter gave up two.

1254
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:36,000
The fish is low for a ball to Tony Perez.

1255
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:44,000
Not many squawks with the plate umpire Aaron Mendelstam tonight, no tough calls for the base umpires or the power line umpires.

1256
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:53,000
Money near the line at third, lead off single by Dave Cash.

1257
01:46:53,000 --> 01:47:03,000
And Perez, waiting at the plate in the power stance of his, takes a breaking ball in the dirt and a snap throw to first by Fiske, who made a good play on the ball.

1258
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:06,000
Check the second base umpire Andy Olson has an interesting background.

1259
01:47:06,000 --> 01:47:11,000
He was a minor league pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, putting it in the left hand and then he came down with a sore arm.

1260
01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:18,000
Andy and I went to Al Somers umpire in school together back down in the late 50s and look what's happened to him.

1261
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:19,000
And to you.

1262
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:21,000
Bob Bragg just off in the Asceta Glacier.

1263
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:26,000
Here's the flip to Perez, a foul to the screen and makes it a full count of three and two.

1264
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:33,000
And it's our guess that Dave Cash will be off and running your first base.

1265
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:36,000
The rule holds against Cash.

1266
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:39,000
Outfield, deep to the left for Tony Perez.

1267
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:41,000
Batting here in the home half of the eighth inning.

1268
01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:43,000
Four to one, Nashville League.

1269
01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:48,000
Cash is running, ball four, puts him in on base and nobody out.

1270
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:53,000
And that's the fourth walk given to the Nashville League tonight to go with their eight hits.

1271
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:55,000
And the batter is Bill Russell.

1272
01:47:55,000 --> 01:48:00,000
One thing about Russell, he's come together in the double play so this is going to be a tough game.

1273
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:06,000
One thing about Russell, he's come together in the double play so this might be a score I'm getting for the Nashville League.

1274
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:14,000
Russell batting at three on nine.

1275
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:18,000
He's at the plate for the first time this inning.

1276
01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:21,000
Wearing that white Dodger home uniform.

1277
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:24,000
The American League players tonight are wearing their road uniforms.

1278
01:48:24,000 --> 01:48:29,000
The Nashville League players are wearing their own individual farm uniforms.

1279
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:32,000
Russell takes a strike call.

1280
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:37,000
I guess in some ball games this situation would call for a front.

1281
01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:40,000
Russell banged in an all-star game.

1282
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:43,000
Sparky Anderson is not going to ask him to do that.

1283
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:45,000
Give him a chance to swing.

1284
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:47,000
Ball one from Kananen.

1285
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:50,000
Fingers in the bullpen for the American League.

1286
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:53,000
The pitch curve is rounded to money.

1287
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:56,000
Grads it, throws to second out and over to first and they got them both.

1288
01:48:56,000 --> 01:48:58,000
Cash goes to third and he's there with two outs.

1289
01:48:58,000 --> 01:49:01,000
So the American League comes up with a double play on their own.

1290
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:06,000
Five-four-three and Darnagher with that ball in a big hurry down there at second base.

1291
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:11,000
Cash went off with the single and got third with two outs.

1292
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:16,000
And one of the fastest men in the game, Ken Griffey, at the reds.

1293
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:18,000
That's for the first time.

1294
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:23,000
Here's a fellow having a great year.

1295
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:29,000
As are most members of that Cincinnati club, Griffey's batting 340.

1296
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:34,000
He'll feel back with two outs, strike one call from Kananen.

1297
01:49:34,000 --> 01:49:39,000
A good many of Griffey's hits are the infield variety because of his great running speed.

1298
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:42,000
They play him to hit the left field.

1299
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:43,420
He is from the

1300
01:49:43,420 --> 01:49:48,420
Denora, Pennsylvania.

1301
01:49:48,420 --> 01:49:53,420
They'll almost stand the man.

1302
01:49:53,420 --> 01:49:57,420
Cash at third.

1303
01:49:57,420 --> 01:49:59,420
Oh wind up by the tall left-hander.

1304
01:49:59,420 --> 01:50:02,420
And in a picture, the curve is fouled.

1305
01:50:02,420 --> 01:50:07,420
And that's strike two.

1306
01:50:07,420 --> 01:50:12,420
The night's inning for the American League and they're trailing right now 40-50.

1307
01:50:12,420 --> 01:50:19,420
Money will lead it off and then Fisk and then Fred Lynn.

1308
01:50:19,420 --> 01:50:24,420
And an L-dine check with only five hits thus far.

1309
01:50:24,420 --> 01:50:28,420
Nationally trying to win their fifth in a row, the pitch to Griffey.

1310
01:50:28,420 --> 01:50:30,420
Low and away.

1311
01:50:30,420 --> 01:50:33,420
One and two.

1312
01:50:33,420 --> 01:50:40,420
Savino is in the on deck circle.

1313
01:50:40,420 --> 01:50:44,420
Here's another pitch with Cash at third and two outs.

1314
01:50:44,420 --> 01:50:47,420
Fastball hit on the ground, base hit.

1315
01:50:47,420 --> 01:50:49,420
And it's five to one nationally.

1316
01:50:49,420 --> 01:50:52,420
First scoring since the fourth inning.

1317
01:50:52,420 --> 01:50:58,420
Griffey didn't get around on a fastball but hit a hard to the left of the shortstop Freddie Potts.

1318
01:50:58,420 --> 01:51:04,420
And in the score is Dave Cash making it five to one nationally.

1319
01:51:04,420 --> 01:51:06,420
Griffey drives in a run.

1320
01:51:06,420 --> 01:51:11,420
Foster is driven in three, driving with the other RBI.

1321
01:51:11,420 --> 01:51:20,420
And Savino, a strikeout victim his first time in bat, appears at the plate again.

1322
01:51:20,420 --> 01:51:23,420
Griffey on it first two outs.

1323
01:51:23,420 --> 01:51:28,420
So a run against Tenana.

1324
01:51:28,420 --> 01:51:31,420
First one to Savino inside ball.

1325
01:51:31,420 --> 01:51:34,420
Hidrich gave up two runs, 102 runs.

1326
01:51:34,420 --> 01:51:38,420
Now one is charged to the California left hander.

1327
01:51:38,420 --> 01:51:46,420
Jack you watch Cesar Savino play with Houston here in an all-star game and physically he's got everything that a ball player has to have.

1328
01:51:46,420 --> 01:51:53,420
If he would concentrate as hard as somebody like a Willie Mays or a Stan Musial did, he would be one of the all-time greats.

1329
01:51:53,420 --> 01:51:56,420
Here's the pitch to Savino. It's a strike call.

1330
01:51:56,420 --> 01:52:00,420
He's young yet and he has ample opportunity to put it all together but you're right.

1331
01:52:00,420 --> 01:52:04,420
He's about as talented as anybody who ever played the game.

1332
01:52:04,420 --> 01:52:09,420
One ball, one strike to Cesar.

1333
01:52:09,420 --> 01:52:12,420
On the first base is Griffey.

1334
01:52:12,420 --> 01:52:14,420
He won't be going anywhere early.

1335
01:52:14,420 --> 01:52:17,420
He'll let Savino handle the situation.

1336
01:52:17,420 --> 01:52:20,420
High with a fast ball, ball two.

1337
01:52:20,420 --> 01:52:26,420
I don't know if we mentioned the Popsville Pennsylvania High School Band before they came.

1338
01:52:26,420 --> 01:52:33,420
We wanted to give them a mention because they did a good job.

1339
01:52:33,420 --> 01:52:37,420
Runner at first, two outs.

1340
01:52:37,420 --> 01:52:40,420
Caru holds against Griffey.

1341
01:52:40,420 --> 01:52:46,420
Pitch to Savino, high outside. Ball three, three, one.

1342
01:52:46,420 --> 01:52:52,420
While Pogba was waiting on deck, might get a chance to get it.

1343
01:52:52,420 --> 01:52:56,420
Five to one now. The National League is scored here in the eighth inning.

1344
01:52:56,420 --> 01:52:59,420
They've led all the way and they're on top five, one.

1345
01:52:59,420 --> 01:53:05,420
And then a call's time, stepped off the rubber.

1346
01:53:05,420 --> 01:53:10,420
These players will all go home with mementos.

1347
01:53:10,420 --> 01:53:18,420
All-star ring from Val Flora plus gifts that they are allowed to select.

1348
01:53:18,420 --> 01:53:21,420
And they've had a good time.

1349
01:53:21,420 --> 01:53:24,420
All except the American League on the field here tonight.

1350
01:53:24,420 --> 01:53:30,420
Savino pulls one foul past third and it's three and two and Griffey will go with the next delivery.

1351
01:53:30,420 --> 01:53:36,420
What do you think the MVP of this game is going to be, Brent?

1352
01:53:36,420 --> 01:53:38,420
I guess Costco.

1353
01:53:38,420 --> 01:53:40,420
Costco with the three out of the eyes, Jack.

1354
01:53:40,420 --> 01:53:44,420
All the way a two on over and a three run batted in evening.

1355
01:53:44,420 --> 01:53:46,420
You can't overlook Randy Jones though.

1356
01:53:46,420 --> 01:53:48,420
He puts three very strong innings off the top.

1357
01:53:48,420 --> 01:53:52,420
In fact, all the pitchers of the National League have done well.

1358
01:53:52,420 --> 01:53:54,420
The National League pitchers have dominated.

1359
01:53:54,420 --> 01:54:00,420
Two on the left by Savino and it is good-bye.

1360
01:54:00,420 --> 01:54:02,420
Three's are Savino.

1361
01:54:02,420 --> 01:54:06,420
He'll furl the Latin American fans and the Houston fans with that one.

1362
01:54:06,420 --> 01:54:09,420
A two round home on exit seven to one.

1363
01:54:09,420 --> 01:54:13,420
Is there any doubt about this ball shot?

1364
01:54:13,420 --> 01:54:15,420
Savino locked in one here.

1365
01:54:15,420 --> 01:54:17,420
He's got a ball up in the air at Leonard Stadium.

1366
01:54:17,420 --> 01:54:22,420
There's not much chance to keep it in the ball.

1367
01:54:22,420 --> 01:54:25,420
Yeah, it started this all with a base hit.

1368
01:54:25,420 --> 01:54:30,420
Griffey kept it going with two out and Savino hit one high in the air.

1369
01:54:30,420 --> 01:54:33,420
That was a Ruthenian sort of home run.

1370
01:54:33,420 --> 01:54:37,420
A majestic home run off the bat of Savino.

1371
01:54:37,420 --> 01:54:41,420
Savino has given up three.

1372
01:54:41,420 --> 01:54:46,420
I just won the bull.

1373
01:54:46,420 --> 01:54:51,420
What has been a fun time here in Philadelphia for everybody who loves his game of baseball.

1374
01:54:51,420 --> 01:54:56,420
Great job by the Phillies of hosting it.

1375
01:54:56,420 --> 01:55:01,420
The National League now has banged out ten hits and they lead seven to one.

1376
01:55:01,420 --> 01:55:05,420
The pitchers on the way to Bob Boone and that is ball one.

1377
01:55:05,420 --> 01:55:10,420
Boone is open wide.

1378
01:55:10,420 --> 01:55:14,420
With the bullpen that the National League has remaining and Rick Roden in there now,

1379
01:55:14,420 --> 01:55:20,420
the odds of the National League losing this game with a 7-1 lead and the eighth inning a rather slant.

1380
01:55:20,420 --> 01:55:22,420
Boone is batting with two men out.

1381
01:55:22,420 --> 01:55:29,420
Nobody on base. They still have Ken Force, Woody Friedman, John Metlack, and Dick Ruthen in the bullpen.

1382
01:55:29,420 --> 01:55:34,420
Here's a high flat ball to right by Boone who will be caught by Rivers.

1383
01:55:34,420 --> 01:55:39,420
Back near the track he one hands it, but the National League has come up with a three run inning.

1384
01:55:39,420 --> 01:55:45,420
Three runs on three hits and after eight they lead the American League seven to one.

1385
01:55:45,420 --> 01:55:47,420
Honda, be a general.

1386
01:55:47,420 --> 01:55:51,420
This colorful bicentennial issue is now available by mail.

1387
01:55:51,420 --> 01:55:58,420
Just send $2.50 to All Star Program Philadelphia Phillies, box 7575.

1388
01:55:58,420 --> 01:56:04,420
That's box 7575, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1901.

1389
01:56:04,420 --> 01:56:11,420
And one of the stars the program will be talking about is the right handed pitcher Kenny Force of the Houston Tavors.

1390
01:56:11,420 --> 01:56:15,420
Come on now, the pitcher in the ninth inning against the American Tavors.

1391
01:56:15,420 --> 01:56:19,420
Rick Roden worked only one, the Dodger right hander.

1392
01:56:19,420 --> 01:56:21,420
His inning gave a hit.

1393
01:56:21,420 --> 01:56:23,420
Struck out none, walked none.

1394
01:56:23,420 --> 01:56:31,420
Ken Force takes over and Ron Say of the Dodgers is in at third base.

1395
01:56:31,420 --> 01:56:38,420
Say replaces Mike Schmidt.

1396
01:56:38,420 --> 01:56:43,420
And the pitcher is Ken Force, the tall and talented right hander of the Houston Astros.

1397
01:56:43,420 --> 01:56:51,420
He talks it over with Bob Boone and he has a seven to one lead as Don Money leads it off for the American League.

1398
01:56:51,420 --> 01:56:54,420
There have been two runs scored tonight against Mark Fitts.

1399
01:56:54,420 --> 01:56:57,420
He'll be the loser if it doesn't change.

1400
01:56:57,420 --> 01:57:02,420
Hunter gave up two and Kanana gave up three runs, three hits and two innings.

1401
01:57:02,420 --> 01:57:08,420
And gave the only walk that was given to the National League.

1402
01:57:08,420 --> 01:57:14,420
Well one from Ken Force and now Don Money pops it up on the infield. Who wants it? Dave Cash.

1403
01:57:14,420 --> 01:57:19,420
And that will be the first out in the ninth inning. It is one draw.

1404
01:57:19,420 --> 01:57:27,420
Money pops up.

1405
01:57:27,420 --> 01:57:31,420
Carlton Fisk is lifted for the pinch hitter Chris Kamlitz.

1406
01:57:31,420 --> 01:57:42,420
That was an interesting young man, a very articulate fellow. Left handed hitting force baseman in the Yankees. His father is a chaplain in the United States Navy and the active Navy.

1407
01:57:42,420 --> 01:57:46,420
And this game has been dedicated to the U.S. Navy so it's fitting that he can end the game.

1408
01:57:46,420 --> 01:57:55,420
Ball one high outside from the hard throwing force. Brother Bob pitches for the Cardinals.

1409
01:57:55,420 --> 01:58:03,420
Here is the pitch. Swung on a broken back ground ball to short. Russell gets it close. Out at first. Kamlitz can run for a big man.

1410
01:58:03,420 --> 01:58:09,420
He was throwing up a goal. Russell is the business end of the bat when passed the pitcher's mouth.

1411
01:58:09,420 --> 01:58:16,420
The National League which lost 12 of their first 16 All-Star games now has a 10 game edge.

1412
01:58:16,420 --> 01:58:23,420
They win this one 28 to 18. Leading they've won 24 out of the last 30 including five in a row.

1413
01:58:23,420 --> 01:58:30,420
The National League players really think they have more camaraderie on their club than the American League players.

1414
01:58:30,420 --> 01:58:34,420
They care more about this game. I don't know if it's true or not.

1415
01:58:34,420 --> 01:58:40,420
Well certainly when you saw Pete Rose take that head first slide into third base you would have to think there's something to it.

1416
01:58:40,420 --> 01:58:45,420
But overall the National League players in this game tonight Jack have a lot more experience in the American League.

1417
01:58:45,420 --> 01:58:51,420
I think the American League now is trying to groom and bring along some young stars like Amos Otis who's here at bat.

1418
01:58:51,420 --> 01:58:56,420
Otis is batting for Fred Lynn and he swings and misses strike one.

1419
01:58:56,420 --> 01:59:01,420
They're too quick out here in the ninth inning as the National League leads by the score of 7 to 1.

1420
01:59:01,420 --> 01:59:12,420
And the ball gets away from Boone to even it up one and one on Amos Otis of the front running Kansas City club.

1421
01:59:12,420 --> 01:59:24,420
Forrest trying to end it here. Otis swings and misses and now he's in the hole one and two.

1422
01:59:24,420 --> 01:59:28,420
It's been all National League since they scored two in the first.

1423
01:59:28,420 --> 01:59:32,420
They have out hit the American League 10 to 5 and they lead 7 to 1.

1424
01:59:32,420 --> 01:59:34,420
There have been no errors in this game.

1425
01:59:34,420 --> 01:59:38,420
Forrest pitches. Otis fouls it and keeps the ball game underway.

1426
01:59:38,420 --> 01:59:43,420
Well we've enjoyed our description of the game.

1427
01:59:43,420 --> 01:59:46,420
Jack Buck along with Brent Musburger and Andy Musser.

1428
01:59:46,420 --> 01:59:54,420
And in charge of programming CBS Radio Frank Miller has been producing this game.

1429
01:59:54,420 --> 02:00:00,420
Here's a swing and a miss and Otis goes down and the National League has now won five in a row.

1430
02:00:00,420 --> 02:00:02,420
7 to 1 National League.

1431
02:00:02,420 --> 02:00:14,420
Music
