The 1954 baseball All-Star game took place at Cleveland Stadium on Tuesday, July 13, 1954.
The Los Angeles Dodgers had the right for their manager to lead the All-Star team after they won the nationally pennant in 1953 under manager Chuck Dresden.
But Dresden was pushing the Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley for a long-term contract and O'Malley wasn't having it.
He let the contract expire at the end of 1953 and hired minor league manager Walt Alston to manage the team in 1954.
He would manage the Dodgers for another 23 years.
The American League All-Stars were managed by Casey Stingle thanks to their victory over the Dodgers in the 1953 World Series, which would be their fifth consecutive championship.
This audio recording is from the Mutual Radio broadcast featuring announcers Al Helfer and Jimmy Dudley.
Quickly we'll get to the lineup of today's great team. These are the men who will start the game, men chosen by U.S. fans of America.
After the first three innings, the managers will be free to call upon whom they like.
Here is the shouting lineup and the batting order for the national league team.
At second base, number two, Rene Hamner of the Philadelphia field.
Number 19 at Short Dap, Alvin D'Arts, great Short Dap of the New York Giants.
In center field, number four, Duke Schneider, one of the stars of other All-Star games.
A great player of the Brooklyn Dodgers in center field.
In right field, number six, Dan Musial.
As far as seniority is concerned, he is the All-Star of all All-Stars.
He has been on his 11th All-Star team.
He has been in the box store of all of the previous 10, truly one of the game's great stars.
At first base, number 18, Ted Pazuski, powerful dad of the Cincinnati Red Lays.
At third base, Jabrancki, left field, Jackie Robinson, catching Roy Knappanella and picking Robin Roberts.
The American League. And in left field, Manny Manosco, second base, Robby Avila.
Center field, Mickey Mantle, catcher, Yogi Berra, first base, Al Rosen.
Marzelline up, later, right now, ladies and gentlemen, our national anthem.
There are the crowders, each and every one of these fans.
Now settle back in their seats, ready for the team competition coming this afternoon.
We gave you Al Rosen at first base, at third base, fighting at the number six spot, is Ray Boone.
In right field, Hank Howard, set-up, Kiko Carousel and picking Whitey Ford of the New York Yankees.
The American Leagueers have already taken the playing field.
This whole game will be getting underway shortly.
Right now, we've paused 10 seconds for station identification. This is the Mutual Broadcasting System.
WGP.
Our fans, back-jet, prove them, huge municipal stadiums, the scene of the captain of all star games.
And ready to get underway, is Whitey Ford, ready to fix the belief of batter stepping into the batter's box.
And here, after the right, is one of the American's soft broadcasts, ready to bring you the play-by-play.
Mutual Big Alhelfer, Alton in.
Alright, Jim, thank you for your time.
But after that, ladies and gentlemen, we are ready for the start of the 24th annual All-Star Game.
It's Whitey Ford, who has won seven this year.
Lost Six has fixed two shutouts, including a two-hitter open to call the White Sox.
It's about ready to make his first pitch to Grandville Hatchery, the fan second baseman of the Pivotoff Ufiles,
who has been chosen here this afternoon by U-Fans to lead off for the National League Ball Club,
as one just hates hardly 20 ball games that have been played between these two teams as a mid-summer class.
Grandville Hamner, who is batting at 3-23, is the number eight-hitter at this moment in the National League.
Grandville Hamner to be followed by Shortstop Alvin Dark, and then by Centerfielder Duke Snotty.
If there is a change in the line-up, it has been a last second change,
so we'll check the line-up as we go along, as given by Jim Dudley.
However, at this particular time, it seems to be after the Alpenny.
That rumble of the American League handling the balls and strikes behind the play here in the first four and a half,
and he's quick with Bill Stewart, who is the man in Zoro down behind first. He's the National League gunman.
Now, we'll set the American League for you defensively. Whitey Ford on the mound, the New York boy,
is battering Major Shoget Bear, and the first pitch now to Grandville Hamner is a fastball that is funded down the first-place line foul.
Grandville Hamner trying to put his lay on, hot-spot down the first-place line for strike one.
So the 21st annual All-Star game, the second win to be played here in the City of Cleveland, is underway.
Now, around the Indian field for the American League. Cleveland's fine competitor Al Rose in his first base.
His money-made body of era, at second. At Shutt's top, Chico Garg-Gal, one of the fancy-feeling Shutt's top, for the business.
At third base, Ray Boone, who comes back to Cleveland here in front of the Triumph and Grove,
are the left field minimum-low-star of the Chicago White Sox.
There is a fix to the plate now. Fastball taken high on outside.
So the counters one ball and one strike here on the leadoff man, Grandville Hamner,
who is making his appearance in his third All-Star game.
The rest of the outfield defensively for the American League.
In center this afternoon is Mickey Maddell and it writes his hang-power both of the New York Yanks.
The fix to the plate a big hook, a curveball, up to the base.
That runs for half the two balls and one strike to Hamner.
Grandville Hamner, who was born in Richmond, Virginia, now makes his home in Clearwater, Florida.
Five eleven hundred and sixty pounds.
One of the struck plugs on that Philadelphia infield in the national lead.
He stands just off the plate with his feet wide spread apart, and his straight waist down to the big.
Two balls, one strike to cover. And then he's ready for it.
He's ready to bend the next one in.
He deals with all the fastball, swing on, and Hammer down into right field.
Getting under the hang-power.
He waits for it to come down and makes the catch.
So we have all number one here, the top half of the inning.
All comes Alvin Garth.
Can you catch him?
I'll be New York Yanks.
I'm batting number two here for the national lead.
Alvin Garth.
So he's got so many telegrams from his friends down in Lake Charles, Louisiana, that they had to wheel him out, to him in a wheelbarrow.
How about that?
He comes from Lake Charles, Louisiana now, all born in Comanche, Oklahoma.
A right-handed hitter batting in 293, making his third appearance in the All-Star game.
Four delivery manos, lot of curveball, a kick-off, off the first-aid 500-quack-walk.
Go, James.
Down at first-aid for the All-Stars is Charlie Grimm, very immutable manager of the Milwaukee Braves,
and the currently leading manager of the National League, Leo DeRosier, is doing his work down behind third,
for Walter Austin, who is running the power club from the bench.
Now, ready for the next pitch on the Ohio Tigers?
No ball is one strike to Charlie, right-handed batting Alvin Garth.
Here comes the pitch, Garth takes it high off the face.
Garth is one ball and one strike.
Alvin Garth to be followed by Duke Snyder, the National League's number one hitter.
That is percentage-wise.
Duke's up there in a lot of things, too.
He can really go.
The man who's up in the side here, the umpire, the many blue.
So, as we give you a just a moment, this far pitch is a lot of curve.
It's high, it's a ball too, and I got a score in London now on Alvin Garth.
Ed Blomowla is working to play the first four-and-a-half game.
At first base, he's the National League's better umpire, and he's balance-backed.
Joe Paparello of the American League is second, and Bill Stewart is down at third.
He's the National League umpire.
Jim Honojeck and Tom Roman on the line.
The Dark Swings on the next pitch has a high pop-up in the short. Let's see you.
Going out for it behind third base, the shortstop, Kerrascale.
Next for catching, we have Alvin with you here.
Coming up now is Duke Smith.
After four, five, six, five, six, five, six, five, six, five, six, five, six.
That's Duke Snyder weighing number four, standing in the play-by-now.
Kicking, Bill is getting ready to go.
Yogi Barrault, the American League catcher, is about to get down on the cross from the line.
Duke Snyder, the number one hitter in the National League, with a percentage of 367.
367.
Duke is fifth this year in the National League, and one side of him was 70.
Ford pumps with two downs, it's just a curve.
It's not so long outside to Duke Snyder, like Ann Hitter, next ball one.
Duke Snyder making his fifth appearance in the out-stop classic.
Golden Pioneer, rather shallow third base.
Alvin's down around right, Wendy.
Big curve for Alvin, Snyder's strong on there, the high-slide ball hits down.
The left field line, Minoso has the very easy comes over, near the power line,
and he's shallow left, and makes the catch, Alvin goes lead.
Well, Duke Snyder pops up to Minimozo in the field, and that's the third out here,
made off the first inning.
No run to the National League, no run, no hit, no errors, nobody left saw.
The other's smaller, at the end of the top half of the first inning.
The star is the National League, nothing, the American League, nothing.
When you face that south room mirror this morning, you'll get quick, wonderfully refreshing shades
if you use the Genet Super Speed Racer.
This quick shaving instrument teams up with any good shaving cream
to make your look and feel your downright face.
The one-piece gelatration changes the face instantly.
It gives you cool and, as the young fellas say, real cool shave
that look good and feel good.
Keening is a cinch too, what's for grins, those for drinks.
What's more, the gelat supersede is double S, so you save money on blades.
Get next to the all-star gelat shaving thing.
I'm asking for a gelat supersede laser, complete with dispenser,
super shot group blades, inspiring double-gates, or only a dollar.
Always set them to the last half of the first inning.
The total score game between the National and the American League
is in this summer's final round, inter-sustaining agreement.
The first time I saw the American League 12-star
will be Chicago's Minimino, so I'll bang in the field.
We'll cut the national league forward offensively now.
It's Robin Roberts from Swingdale, Illinois,
and now living in Medebrook Central when you take some off.
Robin Roberts, known as a fairly good control figure in the National League,
is one of the best in the business.
This year, Robin Roberts has won 11 ball games, has lost eight.
He has six-ball shutouts, two of which have been one-hitter.
He has so far posted pretty magnificent records.
As far as the league is concerned,
Robin Roberts had a one-hitter against Milwaukee back on the 29th of April in a night game,
and the one-hitter over Cincinnati at Philadelphia.
He pitched to Minoso, hitting right-handed,
and it swung on and crawled back into the screen just like that.
Robin Roberts has covered off the one-hitter spoiled by Bobby Adams
for Cincinnati's first baseman when he led off
in the top half of the first inning, smacking his first home run of the year.
Robin Roberts, the pitcher, is battered by this Roy Campanella.
Now the pitcher to Minoso, batting his 3-13 is swung on.
It's half-boss on the straightaway center field.
He's got it backing up, still going back on with extra catch, and we have our number one.
Win the Minoso, a very unique fourth-all for our game.
A quick slide off the center field to the left-hand, and Bobby Avila comes up.
Here's young color who's the cutting-slide of Aero II's Mexico.
Bobby Avila, a fine second baseman for the Cleveland Indian,
and bearing in his second off-star game.
Minoso is the number two hitter in the American League for Sunday's
RISE decision, how many is batting? It's 341.
Roberts makes first six short, I'm gonna say. Sure, the break was across under the ladders for strike one call.
Avila stands about three-quarters deep at the plate, he's two feet pretty much together.
Roberts comes, and delivers.
What looks like an after in the ball, and just down he's short-stopped through, and the field's a little bit bit.
There's the first play fit in the all-star game.
Roberts gives it up here through the right-handed batting Bobby Avila, and on the college,
he's the first hitter, Mickey Mantle from college, Oklahoma.
Mickey Mantle is the tremendous favorite around the league.
He's batting a 3-16 hitting fourth in the American League right now, leading in home runs at 18.
He's also one of the leaders in the burn side of it.
Roberts's liver's torn, a fast ball, and Mickey's calls are brought out into center field.
Roberts's batter puts the front-glock, just comes on board, waits every half-way to second.
Retreats of the catch is made by Snatter's in center field for number two.
Yogi Berra, batting a 2-91 comes up now.
So a two down and one on, for the American League here in the last half of the first inning.
Yogi Berra, the left-hand catcher of the New York Yankees, makes his way after the plate, hitting left-handed.
A little follow-up where he's got a choose to call the ball of fur,
because the way he moves around,
leaves over the plate.
Roberts puts over to Zuzki first and watches the winners try to wait,
and pitches the plate to Berra outside on a half-season, fast ball for ball one.
At second base, it's Randall Hander defensively.
The shot stops at Alvin Gauke, at third is Cardinals' Ray Jeplanski.
Out in left field, more than that, the National League this afternoon is Jackie Rothenstein.
The pitch of the plate is outside and high in Campanella.
Whereas Rand quickly, thinking maybe Avedo, who is very fast from the base side,
maybe off the break.
So the count is all two on Yogi Berra.
Two balls, no strike.
Bilkatter defensively in center field, in right field, Sam and Amirzio.
The Duke of Gamara.
A lot of ball, a full-on, hits the call off the first base line.
Zuzki gloves it and tries it right back to the mound to pitch it off.
So now it is a two-ball and one strike count on Yogi Berra.
In the last half of the first inning, the goal is all game.
While the one hit has been produced so far, Avedo hit one through the hole between Shorty third and Inglef field.
Here in the last half of this first inning after Minotaur flies to center.
Madeline flies to center.
And Avedo forces to go on the first with Kruzuzki on the inside corner.
Robert delivers the plate.
Fast ball, it misses outside to Berra for ball three.
And one on Yogi Berra.
The closest quality American league.
Freddie Hutchinson, the manager of the good and bad coaches, is still team first.
And Mali Marian.
One of the coaches of the club of White Sharks is working out at third base.
Now Robert is ready. Check just one over the shoulder with the pitchers right there.
He's going to break in the pitchers well for ball four.
And he's going to hold up on Trotting to second as Farrell walks.
And the best round of applause for their fine competitor.
As the president is saying last night, young fellow who has made a start.
And so simply because he was determined to do so.
He's playing today with a stiff finger on the stiff index finger on his right hand.
It was broken. Al-Horzen first base.
Twins on first base and doesn't get it.
Just enough to get the foul on X-Rike line.
Al-Horzen is tied to the number five and number six position in the American league.
As the bat comes to Sunday's wise.
At 3.13 with minimum outflow of the starting up fielder here this afternoon.
Al-Horzen hitting right handed.
Dan's three quarters keeper to the weight and keeps him feet pretty much together.
So the American league here has a push going in the last half of this first inning.
He's lost but he was passed only 24 men in the regular season.
He lost his first man. He had to put him under his first and second and two down.
There's cross cross fire to the plate.
If over to me it's the Rosens' right-hand ball.
Yogi Berra is on his first.
Bobby Ebeler, after having singles.
Has been pushed down to second on the loss given to Yogi Berra.
The outfield fans are on the left and play pretty deep for Rosen.
He's hit 14 home runs in the regular season.
Let's put forward to the plate now.
This is cross ball and misses outside and low with it for ball one.
One ball and two strikes.
Roberts moves back up to the top of the rubber.
Looks down, takes his shot and more at Campanella.
Check his runner back over his right shoulder.
Goes to the bottom of the stretch and delivers a curve.
It misses outside and low to Al-Horzen to Wrennys down to two and two.
And Campanella calls for time.
Lots of cross for Roberts. The two of them are meeting now in the middle of the diamond.
And Paul, Campanella who is struggling with a left hand that seems to be partially paralyzed.
Another fellow is for the great competitor in baseball.
Right Campanella?
And everyone here in this park looks at it.
It's just a scare and that's all of you playing through with the run and all.
That's for all of Rosen's first and the third.
Roberts gets the half-pipes off the fifth.
And that's all here in the last half of the first inning is Rosen Streiktoff giving Robin Roberts his first dunk out of the ball game.
And it's first when affected by either pitcher.
Roberts is struck from 99 out in regular season.
And here in the last half of the first inning for the American League is Threstford no more.
No runs. One base hit by the Avila single to left.
One lock given to Barrow.
Leave Shulin on, they were nowhere.
So the score at the end of the first inning is the National League nothing and the American League nothing.
Well put, comfortable shaves that look swell and make you feel great.
All for shaving cream and an up-to-date one-piece Gillette razor.
Well, it's a lovely way of seeing quite a first inning here, Admiral Fellow.
Absolutely, Al and when Roy Campanella went out to talk to Robin Roberts,
a couple of boys who play on different teams,
Campi Evans definitely knew what he was talking about.
When he wanted Roberts to come in with that fast ball on Al Rose, that's down to and due.
Well, I think we can see a lot of that this afternoon because these characters see pretty good books in that.
But Barrow's all over the things that they've kept back in their memories will avail themselves here this afternoon.
And, well, actually what happens with Stan Murcio?
He'll be the first man up here for the National League team in the second inning.
Well, appearing in his 11th All-Star Day, Stan the Man Murcio,
Adamson St. Louis was born and raised in the city of DeLore, Pennsylvania on the Monaca Hill River.
Here's one of the nice guys in this race.
A fellow that you're always glad to see.
He competes pretty much together, but from a very severe start.
Don getting himself wiggled into position, 24-ready now.
The liver's going a big curveball that's messed off low and outside for power.
Stan Murcio is tied with his teammate Red Shading from St. Louis.
As the number five and six hitter for some reason he's wise in the National League is at this moment.
Murcio's about to get 3-31, has a total of 26 home runs,
and leaves everybody in the Major League with 82 runs out of in.
No wonder they pitched to him carefully.
And Ford is doing just that.
Overhand curve, Mews is playing well,
there's a lot of left-rights coming up as power,
and he's got the ball, Mews goes to the first base, throws in,
and it's a single for Sam and I.
There's the rifle shot by Mews here in the right field.
Now I had to come up fast for it,
Clint had to get off his shoe top, had to drop it.
So Ford is giving up his first hit.
Here is Zek Zuzzi from Cincinnati.
Zek Zuzzi's game.
So now makes his home in the city of Cincinnati,
was thrown in Argo and a little high.
Big left hand hitter.
He's out of your 3-12.
That's Jordan as a fastball, the missus just outside, about shoulder high.
All one on six hits.
So Sam Mews, he leaves it off here in the top of the second inning,
giving the National League their first advantage.
He's on the first with nobody down,
Rose on the inside corner first, Ford pitches the plate to Zuzzi,
swings there, the ball is on the second,
up with the Zabita plays it's the second for one off,
and over to first, double play.
Zek Zuzzi hitting his old fastball play from Bobby Avila,
Kiegelstahl, and over to first base, the flip rose.
That's the first twin killing in the All-Ireland.
Rocking up for the All-Ireland league.
Here comes Wage Uplunski, the number nine hitter in the National League,
batting at 3-22.
So our twin killing breaks the back of any threat tonight,
the league might have had in the back of their head right now.
And with the bases empty, two down.
Gieblunski batting at 3-22, takes the first pitch, the ball one.
Great, he keeps his feet pretty much together.
Ford has a crowd just slightly bent at the knees,
stands about midway in batter's box,
Ford goes to the corner, that's one on there,
the grass covers the short, Kara Skellen,
son of a pick-up, her is he,
Ford goes to first base to Rose in the inside, and Gieblunski is up.
Quickly in, the National League is put out here in the back half of second inning.
And for the National League, no runs, there was one base hit,
there were no errors, and nobody was left on.
So again, the one and one half inning to play,
there's only first annual All-Star game from Crescent,
the four is, the National League nothing, the American League nothing.
One, two, three, four.
A couple of years back, Ray Bullen sadly left the city of Crescent
because he's been traded over to Detroit.
He became a very fine third baseman for the Tigers,
and he's making his appearance for the first time in the All-Star game,
hitting right handed.
He's been chosen by U-Fans for his stellar work,
a box corner four Detroit,
first pitch home, and both of our walks.
Ray Bullen hitting right handed,
starting at 3-0-3, the number 10 hitter in the American League.
The third ball, Joy McClone outside the ball too.
Ray Bullen,
starting number six in the order here this afternoon,
up for his first half out of the day,
as we step into the last half of second inning here from Cleveland.
Robin Roberts on the mound for the National League,
touches motion,
quick, kick controls.
The sweepers that misses outside,
and Roberts who is usually very sharp on controls,
are coming behind to Ray Bullen,
of the California 3-0.
Ray Bullen from San Diego, California,
leans over the plate as Roberts switches him a curve,
over for Scott, just a little wrinkle, not too much.
Now the top of 3-1.
Scott Bullen can cut that long ball for you.
The left home runs this year,
Ray Bullen has weighed in with the 14.
Roberts drives fast on in 12 minutes for a second.
Bullen had his sights set.
On defense, 365 feet away from home plate.
It's 320 feet down the left and right field far lines here at Cleveland.
Play find ball far,
365 to right and left center, and straight away center 410 feet.
Got a playing field here, and a prayer well kept.
Now the 3-2 pitch through Bullen.
In the whistles,
fast ball thrown on by Bullen, there's a high pop up,
right behind first base,
Ted Kruzucki going back for it,
and he's off to the left to make the catch.
He's right handed hitter,
and he's going to the left field for a base hit.
The last half of second inning,
ball hit from John to left field,
and the batter coming up to Cicco's character.
Here's the guy that says the captain tried to direct his center to the left.
One of the fine fielding short shots for the baseman.
Cicco Kershaw hitting right handed,
batting at 263,
and fairing in the third all-star game.
Right handed batter standing deep at the plate,
he's sitting much at heart straight away,
and a fast little pitch.
Kruzucki playing a shallow third,
as the first pitch is made over.
Off the hands on the inside corner for strike one call.
One off, one on here in the last half of second inning.
The outfield playing quite the around the left.
Robinson playing a deep left field.
Now Robert's checks his runner,
whistles the pitch into the plate,
that's one off.
Hopped right out of the mid-off,
campin' L.A.
The care scale cuts just enough to put the tip of the ball.
Well, the count on Cicco's care scale
is no ball, it's in two strikes.
There is one off, there is one off,
in the last half of inning number two,
in the squallest ball game,
the 21st annual off-star classic
from municipal segment pleasant.
He's sent you away with a very good pleasure
of the Gillette Safety Razor Company.
Now the old two pitchers,
who care scale,
a fast ball that sheds off outside the ball one.
One ball into strike.
In case you're tuned in like with us,
it's Robin Roberts on the mound.
Regular season is 111,
has lost 864, shut off, two one-hitters.
The delivery, care scale,
swings in a big change of curve,
and there's a good one, that's strike three.
That's second strike out for Mr. Roberts,
here this afternoon.
Coming up to the plate now will be Whitey 4.
He was sort of a surprise starter in a way.
Whitey the New York boy,
coming up to the plate,
getting there around the clock,
he's close.
Whitey has won seven of lost pitch this year,
six two shut offs.
I've pitched one two-hitter,
I've pitched over the shoulder-legs off.
Whitey 4 choking up on about hitting with handed.
Takes the Roberts fast ball outside,
and high at the ball one.
One ball into strike.
Jabowski comes in shallow at third base,
play almost up on the rim of the infield grab.
The outfield straight away,
and up to the right side of the infield deep,
and they're plugging the hole between first and second.
Pitch the plate on, and this is for Whitey 1.
Whitey 4, now with the plate with two down and one on,
and the last half of the second inning.
Either team has been able to score,
Roberts has been hit quite,
two singles from that field,
and starting pitch at 4,
and hits for just one.
Usually a single,
going in the second inning to right.
Pitch the plate to 4,
it is all the nice ways to knee for a foul strike.
One ball through strikes,
he's got on board,
hard-tipped that up on his left shoulder,
and waits for Roberts to go through his shenanigans with a mound.
Roberts is ready,
again a glance over at first base,
over his left shoulder,
watching Hank Bauer stride away.
In comes the pitch,
towards Twink,
hits for Aitlin,
runs his foul down the third base line.
That fouls his over the road,
with Kansas is back into the crowd.
And somebody goes over,
and Hathley with the two of them air.
Roberts gets the new ball,
lots of first-brace and he's fouled,
settles his gap back down,
gets his hands all dried up on his uniform.
Gavin Ellis stays down on the crowd,
pumps the foul,
hops to Mr. Zuckett.
Here's the one to delivery,
a lot of curve,
outside the whitey forth,
the foul two.
Two balls and two strikes.
Hank Bauer,
ready to fly on anything down at first base,
he sees the single to left field,
with one down here in the second inning,
then care of scale struck out behind him
to effect the second out.
Ford leaning over the plate very drastically now,
hits his leg to a McFlinger on there,
the slow bounding ball taps off to the right of the plate,
Roberts coming over, picked up.
Eddie Rommel, the plate on fire says he wants to see the ball,
looks it over,
and then takes it out of play.
The count of two balls and two strikes on Waddy Ford,
the number nine hitter in the American League order,
laying his first all-star game.
The long guy gets things upset at the plate now,
and Roberts straightens out of his trouser leg
and moves up to the base of the plate on the left.
Two ball, two strikes, the count on four.
Bauer tries to wait in first base,
Roberts checking them delivers a lot of hits
from places taken at the need for called strike three.
So that's all for Ford decides to retire here,
in the last half of the second inning,
that's three third strikeouts for Robin Roberts,
and here in the last half of the second inning
for the American League,
no runs, there was one base hit,
Hank Bauer single to left field,
seven all-errors, and one man, Hank Bauer,
left at first base.
So the score at the end of two full innings of play now
is the National League nothing, the American League nothing.
In the third inning here,
it will be the last third of the National League
fighting order, Jackie Robinson,
a left fielder followed by Rod Campanel,
a capture, and Robin Roberts, the pitcher.
Robin Roberts and the number is the switch hitter.
Coming out to the mound, Robert Slally is 24.
Moving on out to Pitchard's mound,
Rose Setty, American League's full year defensively now
as we get ready to come out to the third inning.
It's toward on the mound with a record of seven wins
and six losses in the regular season,
making his first appearance in the All-Star game,
his better remaining is Yogi Berra.
Berra has appeared in seven All-Star games,
that is this year's year seven.
At first base, the crowd rose.
At second base, Bobby Adela,
all-star, the Cleveland Indian,
the yellow-garage scale of the Schmuckleite shot.
Third is Leibbun, the Pitchard's striker.
Out in left field is Minimanosa, the light shot.
In center field, Mickey Matlow, the Yankees,
and in right field, Hank Barrow, the Yankees.
All these men have been voted by you, the fans of America,
to start this All-Game here this afternoon.
Now, Jackie Robinson, the number 10 hitter in the National League,
he's presented twice,
starting at 3-21,
stepping up there. Jackie's appearing in his sixth All-Star game.
He's up for his first set back here this afternoon,
hitting right-handed, standing in the deep of the plate.
Big, powerful guy, can hit that all-round layup, boy,
although the extra base blow,
under the home run, is more of his specialty.
He's hit only nine home runs this year,
finding in 30 rounds.
First off, he has gone out of the sixth base.
Robinson hitting right-handed,
has four closing fastball,
and fires the great two-end of the lettuce for a call strike.
All these starting teams here this afternoon.
For the National League of Storm, 23 bases,
the next few players over to wrap in Superstar 2.
Last ball, will be timed by Whitey Claw.
Now, the home run hit 230 by the spot,
of National League of 116,
has been hit by the starting eight.
Here's to the National League.
They have the power here this afternoon,
as the paper figures are used as the main.
More taking too much time,
and Robinson back to waiting the plate on him.
He's back up there now, and starts to notice
the home run back.
The old two-pitch by Whitey 40.
Rare as back, deals with off-fastball,
front-line, there's a high-bounder, hit the schlucks,
carousel, gloves are down the big hole,
and the one.
Robinson bouncing out from short,
carousel, the road.
And we have one down here,
top to third inning, and that brings on Roy Cappanella.
Roy Cappanella!
Roy Cappanella, who says he's going to go on and play,
as long as that left hand of his will permit him to do so.
Roy hitting right-hand, the big spot,
usually when he has all of his strength,
he's one of the toughest guys in business to pitch to.
Roy towards him a hook, that's high,
off the shoulder part, the ball one.
Cappanella is starting at only 215.
However, he has driven in 32 runs for his father,
he's a 13-home run, and belazers in that,
he has gone in one base this year.
Roy can do a change-up curve,
and Cappanella bounces right back to the screen.
Cappanella bounces right up by the TV cameras over there,
where Gene Kelly and Malala are working out.
Roy Cappanella, who's got a total of
43 innings in the all-star game, not counting this one.
He's been running for a while, he's been quite a figure.
One more one strike down to him,
and now nobody on top of the third.
No score in the ball game.
Cappi opens his hands down towards third,
he keeps his feet wide spread apart.
Cappi's still a loose, and Cappi's gone against Longhorn.
This one hits back to the screen,
and that might go up over the screen in the crowd.
As far as the breeze is concerned,
here's Raffa-Noon, everybody, there just isn't any.
All the flags are just limping flag balls,
got quite brilliant sunshine,
and a blue cloud of sky, and it is warm.
Real warm.
After being used, scorecards, fans,
well, it's really tough.
That's the kind of baseball what you dream about.
Now, forward ready, here's the one, two, pitch, two, Campanella.
Passball, high and outside, with ball two.
Right now on to Slaysn identification time, too.
We'll find out what happens with Campanella.
We'll be able to...
...fell out.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
Balls, forward ready, here's the two, two, pitch.
A curve ball, a column, the Campanella and foul shift.
Right back into the master plate, I'm trying to get Rommel.
Guy had Rommel himself with about a major league picture.
Rommel, the umpire, and she's behind the plate.
Three ball and ten of the National League at first.
Joe Paparello of the American League at second.
Bill Stewart of the National League at third.
He'll work three balls and strikes.
In the last four and a half, anyway.
Now, off to the next two, two, delivery, to Roy Campanella.
He decides for it again, is taking too much time,
and he backs out, just as Robinson did.
Right back after the plate goes Roy, digs in, gets his strikes down in good.
There, holds him in up into the pocket.
Forward, umpire, delivers two, two, a curve ball,
front on the Campanella and his foul again, back to the screen.
He then bounces off the screen up into the first section.
I like to have the vantage point here at Cleveland,
and the final spot, guys, these thoughts you have along baseball row.
Give me that leg here with my left,
as we get vantage over working here for 77 ball games a year.
Look right down over, catch your shoulder,
look right straight up the dam.
They do two pitch, a let up, pitch is outside.
The cop is three balls and two strikes,
and Roy Campanella.
One off, nobody arms off of the third inning.
Neither team has been able to score here
in the 21st annual All-Star Game.
Being played at the Unisport Stadium in Cleveland.
24, get ready, go through the top of the poppin' delivery,
the big curve, and Campanella swings in again, fouls the back.
One thing for sure, Campanella is giving 24 quite a work out.
The fans are getting quite a bounce out of it here this afternoon.
Campanella calling for the batter's rosin bag,
it's off his hands, his wrist and dry mouth.
Drives back out to the plate now.
Rocher moving back and forth to coach the ball.
Rocher's back to the third.
Charlie Graham moving back and forth to first.
Hasn't been much fake traffic this afternoon.
Three to pitch to Campanella.
Pass ball, Campi takes it high, there's fake traffic, that's ball four.
And before we get to Roberts,
that's ball ten seconds for station identification.
This is the Miss World, right?
This is WGM, the Chicago Tribulation, serving the middle west.
Look here to Robin Roberts as your batter.
Big number 36 standing in his plate there right now.
Getting right handed.
He'll come up somewhat on the handle of that.
He had one time patching himself as the first baseman
when he was going to Michigan State College.
He went up on the first pitch and fended right back to a tomorrow.
That's 24th fielding.
The pitcher goes first base in time.
And just a moment, the play down fire
had Ronald says that ball was in foul territory.
And hits the foot of Robin Roberts,
so he's calling the play back as a foul ball.
That's where Campanella, who's often moving
on that offensive sacrifice, has come back to first base.
And Lee Bowlin, man, has called him back.
Casey Sangle comes up.
There he is standing on his own plate now,
rocking to round a lot of the feeling
to a first base up by Lee Bowlin's man.
And Bowlin's man is coming down to claim
that it was a foul ball.
So it'll be straight to Robin McCobb on Robin Roberts.
There's a high curve on Roberts trying to run it.
He's got the break down in foul territory
off to the left of the plate and it rolled up toward the mound.
The whitey board coming off very nimbly like the cap to field it.
But it was rolled out at his hip, Robert.
In foul territory, and that was a foul ball.
That was cracked down off to the left of the plate anyway.
Don't forget there's no balls in one strike on Robin Roberts.
Campanella leads the first pitchers made.
There he is about this time.
It's time to start.
Bloom goes back to second base
to carestell for the fourth foul on Campanella.
He'll throw the first.
George, an offensive sacrifice that results in the fourth foul.
Bloom handling very well at third base.
He came in charging quickly over toward pitchers mound.
Playing effective carestell
with a shoal stop for the fourth on Roy Campanella.
Well, we have second out here in the top half of third inning.
It's a five to six fourth foul on the offensive sacrifice.
It's a good start with the extra-none.
And that brings on the top of the batting order,
Grandville Hamner, who flies the right field back in the first inning.
Got it off today, hitting it 3-23.
Well, a check is run at first.
And look at the place.
Hamner's clean.
There's a high pop up.
Hit down shortstop way.
Carrot scale, flip the glasses, get down there.
He's got it.
That's all.
The national lead has been retired here.
And they've done half pop in the number three.
I'll pop up by Hamner's shortstop.
No runs, no base hits.
No errors.
One man was left off.
And at the end of two and a half
he needs to play on the All-Star game.
Four is the national league nothing.
The American league, nothing.
By today's one-feet Gillette for smooth, refreshing shape.
You've changed blade so easily,
an quick rinse cleanser razor.
Just as for the Gillette super speed razor,
it's only $1 including blue blade dispenser
and firing travel case.
The last half of inning number three
on the All-Star game from Cleveland.
It's the top of the batting order now for the American league.
And we've had a wrist motor so promised
that nothing and nothing really stands up thick, doesn't it?
Now it's really something to watch.
And of course, this Robin Roberts is again proving
why he's one of the game's great pitches.
With those three strikeouts, he's only three away from the record
held by Carl Hubble and Vandermeer, Johnny Vandermeer.
But I'm glad you injected that
because we'll be watching from now on as
Minimum Enoso right-hand hitter swings on the first six,
six of all at the end of the bat file
down the first place line for strike one.
Enoso a 313 hitter at game time.
Died for the fifth and sixth shots
in the American league with Al Rosen at 313.
Glad to center field in the first inning
so he's open one the other afternoon.
Roberts delivers him a pass file.
Piles of the screen for strike two.
Now he'll stand around the left and playing deep.
The left side of the end field playing deep
with their positions.
Get lunch yet third, a couple of steps behind third.
Roll the centrifuge in the line.
Short shot.
In the hall between second and third playing deep.
Lend a hammer back on the rim of the outfield grass
in right center.
Hit the plate right after all they've
taken the captain Enoso who sits down to take it.
One ball and two strikes to count on many.
He keeps himself loose as action as the boys say
and the trade keeps himself loose up there
and always ready to hop either way.
Right the open stance down towards third base.
Sort of crouched on one knee.
Looks as though he's about to spring off his right foot.
One two pitch going to pass ball
that's high off the base for ball two.
Two balls and two strikes on minimum.
Enoso leading off here in the last half of the third inning
for the American League.
That's the oldest ball game we've had.
Only three hits in the game.
Two for the American League.
Both singles, one single hit for the National League
back down Muzio.
That arms curve is inside under the chin.
That's ball three to Enoso.
That's Enoso.
Got my passes to give out.
Hit the right handed.
Three two count on him as Robert.
He's around with that ball now.
Watch this captain that looks at the middle of the target.
A pass ball off the base.
High off the ball four.
The other third inning is open.
Arm Enoso's drawing the second base on ball
is giving up by Robert.
And you know there's an old baseball adage.
It says to walk the first man in an Indian cradle.
We've so many times seen that go over the boards
and down the drain.
The way these pitchers go today.
Let's see if that should happen in this case.
Bobby Avila.
The number two hitter in the American League at game time
comes up to the plate.
Bobby hitting right handed.
He's singled into left field in the first inning.
Getting the first hit of the ball game.
Enoso who can fly is on the first.
Kuzuski holds against him.
The pitch is made and there's a hot pop ball coming right back here.
Look at that ball.
Right back here to our broadcasting booth.
We always like to call out to the fellas that are in the first with us
when a pop off is back because
quite often that fellow will be a little busy
working over some statistics or something.
And if he doesn't see it he's probably gonna get hurt.
So we try to keep each other's eyes
just to whether or not pop balls are coming back this way.
So if you hear either Jimmy or me
shout out to one of our working to break these here.
That's the reason for it.
Now the whole one pitch to Bobby Avila.
There goes Enoso. The pitch is made.
Come on. There's a landslide hit.
Now the first place flyer.
Boy Enoso had a good jump there at first place.
He was off and going.
He's gotta come all the way back.
This casey single had the boys plan hit and run.
And this Enoso can go as we told you.
We'd have to watch him.
Robert's pitch.
But he was gone before Robert to throw that ball.
Look out on Bobby. Avila has no balls in two strikes.
So as this guy again holds the impact on Harvind.
Now though he may be going again.
Robert goes to the top of the stretch.
Hesitates.
Hesitates HeESS grandmother.
Iveso estará
the Buckley now headed the second one.
Let you back into the winning wave.
You all start there.
keluar both there and Camp!
All the American League.
We'll have to get back into the winning ways in the All-Star game.
Have a quick run here.
And let's see if we're going to have any action down in the bullpen.
Yep, sure enough, Johnny Hadsamelli.
The left hander from the New York Giants is down in the bullpen throwing for the National League.
Johnny Hadsamelli.
He's had quite a record this year too.
Hadsamelli.
I think left hander is Mickey Matl.
Well, as always, the left hander is underfield in the first inning.
He's 4-4-1.
Runners taking their lead.
Down comes the pitch to Matl.
Up the stride and high for Ballwa.
Jabonski crawls up shallow at third base.
The second foul may be trying to drop the front down in the third base line and thereby get on below the base.
The right side playing deep.
Yadsfield slightly shaded the right playing very deep.
Pitch a fast ball.
Ball falls straight.
Battle standing deep at the plate hitting left handed.
Against the right hander pitching to Roberts.
Well, the American League's Anvilio Kuntz-Legre is down in the bullpen warming up for them.
Now Roberts, to the top of the stretch.
Check his runners.
Delivers.
Matl swings.
He's got a high curveball.
That Matl was really trying to pull the pine of that one.
Well, the American League has him on here.
First and second.
Nobody out last half of the third.
This is the goal of opportunity so far.
Matl scouts one ball and two strikes.
He leans over the plate.
Now Roberts checks his runner.
Delivers the plate.
Matl is out of there.
Click out number four for Robert Roberts.
Now he has to pitch to Yogi Berra, who is always a tough man.
This guy, Yogi Berra, is known around the trade as one of the best basketball hitters in the business.
I asked a couple of the American League pitchers one time, and that's a long go.
I said, what do you pitch to Yogi Berra?
It doesn't make any difference.
He was pointing whatever he thinks of that moment looks good to him.
Then for Vick to Yogi, he walks in the first.
He's coming up to his first official at that now.
That man hitter.
Runners first and second.
One out.
Last of the third.
No scorer.
The pitch is a fast ball.
Outside by Shea, Berra for ball one.
Runner taking their lead.
Down comes the pitch to Matl.
It's outside and high for ball one.
Jabonsky crawls up the shuttle at third base expecting Matl maybe trying to drop a front down in the third base line and they'll by get on below the base.
The left side is playing deep.
Yogi Berra slightly shaded the right and playing very deep.
The pitch is a fast ball.
Powered right to go up the way for a call straight.
Battle standing deep at the plate hitting left handed.
Against the right handed pitching to Robert.
The American League's Ndelioprince Slega is down on the bullpen warming up the van.
Now Roberts to the top of the stretch.
Jester's runners delivers.
Matl swings.
Come on, he's got a high curve ball.
That Matl was really trying to pull the pie into that one.
Well, the American League has them on here.
First and second.
Nobody out last half of the third.
This is the growth of opportunity so far.
Matl counts one ball and two strikes.
He leans over the plate.
Now Roberts checks his runner.
Delivers the plate.
Fast ball.
Four.
That looks like three.
Matl's out of there.
Breakout number four for Robert Roberts.
Now he has to pitch to Yogi Berra who is always a tough man.
This guy Yogi Berra is known around the trade as one of the best bad balls hitters in the business.
I asked a couple of the American League pitchers one time.
Not so long ago.
I said, what do you pitch Yogi Berra?
It doesn't make any difference.
He'll swing it whatever you think.
So that moment looks good to him.
The unpredictable Yogi walked in the first inning so he's coming up for his first official half back now.
That's hand hitter.
Runners first and second.
One out last to the third.
No score with a pitch.
Shares a fast ball.
Outside by Shade.
The barrel for ball one.
Yogi Berra who came from the hill in St. Louis.
Certainly has become quite a figure in this big national fast time of ours.
Bobby of Eilish-Tetzlop first.
Minozo out second.
Hotfield and slightly around the right and deep.
This is one of the high level hung down right field line.
Coming over for it is the right fielder and Van Katkevitz.
He's in the stands and foul territory.
That ball was pretty well poked.
That's a loud strike.
That sort of electrified the fouls instead of jammed in here at the municipal stadium.
Well, a full stop that Yogi got in the hole a while.
Got on him with one ball and one strike.
One out, two on, last half to the third.
No score.
Right side of the infield playing deep.
Suzuki, by the way, back to his fielding depth.
The runner's the first in second.
In comes the pitch from the plate.
Very sweet.
Well, that struck something off the fast ball that time.
Yogi tried to tie it.
Got another walk shot in front of the plate.
Hotter's that ball back to the bottom of the rubber.
OK, marrying down behind the third.
Holds up fingers.
Showing one out.
One out, last half to the third.
No score.
Second, a V last first.
Robertson trouble.
And an alien of all time.
In comes the pitch.
Yogi swings hit the foul ball right up over our 2S microphone.
In comes the pitch.
Yogi swings hit the foul ball right up over our 2S microphone.
Now holds one and two on Yogi better.
And a new supply baseball is being brought out to play down bar at Rommel.
You don't notice a difference in the umpires.
The American League wears the wind pad.
How much strapping over the outside of the court
and holds it up on each pitch while the National League wears the protector under the coat.
And then off hampered by that cleaning round out in front of him.
So when Bill Stewart comes in behind the plate,
he won't be hampered by the wind pad.
Now we're ready. The one-two pitch.
There's a high bounding ball to first. Kuzuski backs up, takes it, wins over Setson first place.
The only play he can make.
The runners move up a notch and we have the second out.
Down to the bar for Al Rosen.
On Yogi better, it's round out to first base.
Bobby Abito, of course, moving over to second.
Admin Imanoso moving down to third.
There's two outs here in the last half of third inning.
It's been placed fairly up to Al to do something about it.
He committed the third out of the first inning with a man on his second base and a one on his first.
Stuck out.
Al would like to a tone forward if he possibly can.
Right hand hitter standing in.
Roberts pulls the top of the stretch.
The livers, Rosen swings, hit the ball ball back to the screen.
You can see Al is hampered by the stiff right finger on his index hand.
He's the right hand, the index finger on his right hand.
We had the opportunity of interviewing Al Rosen last night on the show.
Clive to the broadcast with the ball game, head over to this network.
And he was explaining what trouble he was having with that right hand.
I said, well why don't you give it some much damage that I can?
This is how it's going to work.
Al Rosen, this right hand at all.
Al Rosen, over to the left field, has three-one home run to put the American League ahead to read nothing.
At Cleveland, Al Rosen.
Al, the fans really chose a guy there.
The man's way going up to play now.
Takes the first pitch outside the ball one.
Robin Roberts, that's up for a three-round home run here in the last half of third inning.
Al Rosen did it with his little sledgehammer.
Set on curveball to, what is outside the ball to.
The interesting Chris Feigler, the old gray eagle here this afternoon.
He's really helping to rest his right comfortably.
Al Rosen, over to the left field, has three-one home run to put the American League ahead to read nothing.
Al Rosen, over to the right field, has three-one home run to put the American League ahead to read nothing.
Right on curve ball, throw it off the shoulder point.
On the inside, go right hander, hit her, and bar her, count dollars, one ball and no strikes.
These two home runs back to back have electrified the thousands who have come here to the Lakefront Stadium this afternoon.
Robert Tready delivers an overhand pass ball, it's through there, the way for strikes.
One bottom, one strike.
You know there's always something good about seeing a fellow get up there and achieve something despite the use of handicap.
Touch ball is thrown on the bar and hit the ball, count is one ball and two strikes.
Knowing that several of these men playing here this afternoon are playing under the handicap of injury, those move one of them.
One two pitch, one on by baller and hit the ball right back to the screen, so it's count holds it's run into.
A lot of rattles had to give up on the all-star game because of a groin hip injury.
Mike Garcia, the flying Cleveland pitcher, out of my city of California had to give up, he had a broken blood vessel and the little finger be sticking in.
Now baller swings on a high curve and the first was like three.
That's the side here in the last half of third inning, but it was a way up for the American League, that's because of strike after Robert Tready.
Here in the third inning, for the American League they come up with four big runs on just three days hit, so no errors, nobody was left off.
Goal of the four at the end of three followingings of play in the all-star game here at Cleveland, it's the American League four and the National League nothing.
It's been a lot of ball game here so far, but hey mister, how you fix the blades?
Cleveland blue blades of course with the sharpest edges ever home.
Bottom in defense is with used blade compugnants and keep a couple of extra facts on hand.
To the top half of the fourth inning, I'm going to have a new pitcher now for the American League, it's Sandelia Consuigra.
Sandia Consuigra who is made to take the place of Garcia, he's a thunder right hander.
Consuigra, holding in there now as the new pitcher.
All that means is that the court is all through here, and we'll look at that after having fixed the three innings.
And the Consuigra is just pinned on Sunday, so take the place of Mike Garcia.
So Sandia Consuigra doesn't have much warning that he was going to play in the all-star game, but here he is out here now with a record of 10 wins and 3 losses, it's two shutouts this year.
Here's Sandia Consuigra, slender right hander, the tee coming off.
He'll pitch first of all to Alvin Dark here in the top half of the fourth inning.
Alvin Dark standing in, Roger Wigler makes the first pitch to him and Dark takes it over for a strike.
Dark is all for one this afternoon, he came up the first inning and popped up the shortstop.
Dark nervous, he comes back, back, back and forth.
Consuigra sweeps low in these pumping motions, delivers curve ball and stays high off the shoulder for ball one.
One ball and one strike.
And the Consuigra now doing the pitching for the American League, he has been handed the ball of holding, they fall on the advantage the American League has given.
This ball, their ball to Dark is high, that's when he gets off the pace, that's ball two, two balls and one strike.
Consuigra is sort of a nervous guy, very wiring, very thin, sort of spindly or full-leg.
He comes with the pitch now to Dark and swings, out of the loop, that's why ball out into shortness.
And the tee is coming on, it's making him out and makes a fine running catch to three-power Alvin Dark.
Now we have one out to top the fourth inning, Sandy Consuigra now has gotten rid of Dark and he must face Duke Snyder.
In three innings of pitching here this afternoon, Whitey Ford gave up only one hit pass, one man, start out nobody.
But that was pretty good pitching chore for a young fellow who wasn't figured to get a catch starting here this afternoon, but he leaves the ball game with a full run advantage.
Consuigra now pitching to Duke Snyder, who's gone over a lot, the ball to him is good for a strike.
Started with a straightaway stand for the pitcher, over five figure to Snyder, plays some mighty fine baseball for the faithful over at Hebbitt's Field.
The ball to him is far on hit, right back through the middle, up to center field where they hit Duke Snyder is off.
That ball right where it was pitched, now that's the first hit off for Consuigra and the second hit from the National League and here's Sam Mizzio.
You know those four runs, made in the last half of the third inning by the American League.
It's been the largest since the first inning of the 1949 All-Star game at Hebbitt's Field. The American League also scored four in an in-in this.
Sam Mizzio who's got the first hit, the ball game for the National League, queens on the first pitch and hit the high foul ball, coming right back this now, up on top, in the spectators, strike one on stand.
Mizzio bumped the single in the right field in the second inning, was cut down a moment later when Ted Kruzewski hit into a fast double play as the second hitter in the top second inning.
So the last in the league has gotten just two base hits, one by Stan Mizzio left by right now and one by Snyder who was on the first time at first base with one out.
Walter Nuffins, everything's made in the American League, comes to work, pitches, fast balls, one on, hit it, and the ball goes in first and second into the right field. Mizzio has single, there goes the runner, Snyder moving on into the first base on the ball.
So Sam Mizzio for two.
Now Walter Mizzio made a dive at that ball, trying to stop it, but couldn't get near it.
All the National League trying to retaliate here, like to wait back and get into the ball again, is Ted Kruzewski who can get that ball in the long run for him.
Ted Kruzewski, back in the lead, and the ball goes in the long run, and the ball goes in the long run, and the ball goes in the long run.
Ted Kruzewski from Argo Illinois in Allen, Cincinnati, plays this kid this year, has his 22 home runs for him, and is on his 67 run for him.
What a powerful guy, and the ball goes in the long run.
Got in the ball, Sam, looks to call Bob Lemon, he's starting to warm up for the American League. Bob Lemon.
Now comes the leg red, Texas runners, the first and second, with one out here, the first and third.
The pitch is for one as they come in, hit the ball in the first base, down into the right field corner, Snyder comes into the stall, Mizzio comes into the third base and holds up there.
Ted Kruzewski, hits the high pounder over the road, and steps down along the right field line.
What he means the long and third is going to get started from third easily with the first National League run.
Now it's their 4-1 ball game, and for Kruzewski, is for a young batter in here this afternoon, hit number three up on Slickler, run number one.
The batter coming up is Jeff Lunski.
If you think it's a little spot on the third base from the range of Lunski, you can hit that long ball for you too.
I've seen an exact couple that really took off and out of the park.
Jeff Lunski always tied for the number three in fourth position in the National League, it's game time here.
He runs that in with 73, he's tied with only Mays of the New York Giants who is on the fence right now.
And here's 11-1 run, that's the number he uses on the back of his uniform, block 2 number 11.
And Swayder delivers to him, it's a crossfire outside 4-1.
All started when after dark, the batter hit through the middle for a single and Stan Musial moved him around the third on the single hit on the right field.
Then Kruzewski found the high in the right field for a single to get to run in and put Musial on.
It's the plate is low, Paul Tzotowicz of Lunski, Scott Hoss of Osmo Strike,
Leo DeRosha's opening it up big behind third, gets to Lunski's attention, yells something at him, leading down off third, Stan Musial, hands on hips.
Conthrack there, in trouble here, waiting around in hot water on the top of the court.
Four to one ball game, the American League.
Conthrack with Livers' curve, it's taken the faster, over for Strike off the hand, right on the In-Triple, it's got the top of the line.
Two and one, two balls, one strike, down off Ray Jeff Lunski.
He'll be followed by Jack Robinson.
One out here on the top of the court, one is in first and third, one run has been scored by the National League, they're trying to get back into the ball game.
And Jeff Lunski at the plate represents the trying run for the National League.
Conthrack ready, delivers, the pitch is shot on, it's a long shot, it's a long shot, it's in the front of the field for the base track.
Luzzi, the second to hold on as Musial comes in to score the second run.
Conthrack almost slips the glove right off the hand, I'll put the con pleasure.
They'll give Ray a run, Vannevin.
That's the fourth hit of Conthrack with run number two, and they lead, and the American League has come half and two as the National League comes fighting back here in the top half of the court.
Mr. Dudley, I wouldn't have missed this one for the world.
I wouldn't have missed it for the world, Jeff.
You know, Casey has been back plate for 15 stops this afternoon now.
Sandy Consuelo Group was a substitute, and of course Casey is without the help of his big chief, Wahu Ali Reynolds, and without the big pair, Mike Garcia.
Albert is far ahead of the plan record behind him. This is what the fans like to know, action and plenty of it.
Well, they got action right now, and Jackie Robinson, they're hoping to produce even more for the National League here in the fourth inning.
They picked up two runs, and the American League leads four to two.
On the way to the pitchers, Robinson has to go to the first foul, it's a half foul on the first play five.
Over to do the fans go to the opposing camp, Jeff.
The opposing fans back to the American League dugout. Let's strike one down, Robinson.
Moving on, Robinson first to second. Big head, Kruszyski on the second. Jeff Lunski is on the first.
Both Kruszyski and Jeff Lunski have hammered in runs for the National League.
And Robinson, who's rounded out as the first hitter in the third inning, rounded out from Shroff first, is up there right now.
Robinson, who's worked game time, was starting at 321.
Come to Edgar, goes to the top of the stretch. As it takes, Shroff takes his run on the second base.
He's hit Kruszyski, backs off the mound and chases head back into second.
Jeff Lunski moves away from first, closing back to the field.
He's feeling death. In comes the pitch now. Robinson trying to hit the right field fouls it off the first base line.
And while we have a few seconds, let's pause 10 seconds for a station identification.
This is the mutual broadcasting system.
This is WGN, the Chicago Tribune station serving the middle west.
WGN, the Chicago Tribune station serving the middle west.
Right back to the business of hand.
Watching Johnson's go-ahead try to get out of the dip stalling. He has gotten in.
Watching Robinson, he delivers on the second base line shot, hitting the right field foul on the mound.
He's left in there for the next activation, up against the 380 foot sign.
This comes for Kruszyski, in the third run.
The renaissance over the plate. Jeff Lunski scores a straight up, a double for Robinson.
Robinson coming on to release Guns-Wig-Rab.
Guns-Wig-Rab came on, if you recall the pitch here in the North Ending.
And coming out real fast as Bob Lemmon has come on.
The man on the second base, Robinson, is the responsibility of the now departing Sandy Guns-Wig-Rab.
Now let's see, Jeff and Ella will be the man that Lemmon will face, here in the North Ending.
Bob Lemmon, he's been one of the mainstays of the Cleveland 15 staff, and one of the five figures in this game.
The bottom of the thoughtful Lemmon coming in and Sandy comes later going out.
Bob Lemmon, in the very 19 games for the Cleveland Indians this year.
As close to the record of nine wins and five losses. He's the sixth off that you might hander.
Lemmon is on the scene.
There's the anaconda for him.
That is one of the last.
That is the only one left.
Bob Lemmon with the record of nine wins and five losses.
I have pitched one shutoff this year.
And a tee down there now, standing on the mark, throwing the warm up pitches out of his battery and making Yogi better.
Bob Lemmon, from San Bernardino, California.
Bob number 21.
He's now living in Long Beach, California. I believe his memory serves for that being.
Jack got off into the second base. He drove in through here.
Died it up into the top of the fourth inning. So it's all tied. 4-4. The runner Robin to the second.
The responsibility out there for the parking zone swagger. He'll take stone in one-third of his fourth inning.
Bob Campanella, who often the third inning. I've pushed that back now, officially.
Lemmon, catches the runner back at second.
The winner of the plate, Campanella takes a high curve from Bob for ball one.
One bottom of the strike.
Bob Lemmon is no stranger as far as play in the All-Star game is concerned.
Bob's been chosen before.
Now we're ready for the pitch.
There it comes. Swarov by Campanella and popped up down third base way.
Led on the foul line. It's Ray Burrill in fair territory. Making the catch for the second half.
So Lemmon comes around, gets Campanella on a high foul ball to third base.
And that brings up Robin Roberts to pitcher.
But it's not going to be Roberts. It's going to be Don Mueller of the New York Giants.
Don Mueller coming up the bat.
There's an answer for Don.
So Roberts goes three innings here, which he gave up four runs and five hits.
Walked two and struck out five. And Don Mueller is coming up right now for it.
Don Mueller of the New York Giants.
Playing in his first All-Star game. Getting an opportunity here to pitch back.
He's left handed hitter and as far as Don Mueller is concerned, in the way of about batting percentage,
he's a fellow that's been up there very high in the National League.
Bob Lemmon will be the guy to pitch to him now.
Don Mueller is actually the number two hitter in the National League with a percentage of three, five, six.
He is second.
All-Nate to Duke Snyder.
Bob Brooklyn who holds a percentage of three, sixty-seven.
Don Mueller, quiet guy.
Leans over to play, takes the first pitch down to the shins on the inside.
Ball ball one.
Don Mueller batting for Robin Roberts. Down in the bullpen and all warmed and ready to go.
And I expect maybe Austin may use him left hander Johnny Antamelli.
He'll be probably on here to pitch the last half before then.
Lemmon gets set. Delivers an overhand curveball.
All the sinks blow on that side.
So the guy on Don Mueller now has two balls, no strikes.
Jackie Robbins in representing the five-breaking run for the National League.
Big stepping off at second base. It was his two-base blow on the right center field.
Between Madeline Barr.
Lot in the time run here in the top of fourth inning.
Two down. Robinson, the sole base runner at second.
Lemmon checking. Delivers a play.
Mueller swings there's a five into right center field.
That might be in the duper basis.
He can't get this.
Mueller's on his way to second.
He's five to four of the National League.
Bob Lemmon gives up a hit.
The run is charged to Sunday.
He can't swig grab.
Who now can be the losing pitcher in this ball game if it should end this way.
A third double.
I've done a trick here.
Robinson coming in easily.
Down second base to star on Don Mueller's pinch hit.
Double the right center field.
So give me a learn.
I run about it in.
Five to four now.
In favor of the National League we go to the top of the batting order for Grenville Handler.
And the first pitch to him is outside the ball one.
The last man to come to bat here for the National League will come run back not only to make up the deficit,
but to go one run ahead as they leave five to four.
Mueller sets off second.
Lemmon delivers.
The third ball that seemed to be just under the knee.
Don Mueller from St. Louis, Missouri.
On a second base.
Randall Hammers-Lunges on the next pitch is a high bounding ball to Brunette 30.
He's up with it.
First base to Roseland's arm.
And the Mike Pan retires to recover the shot.
So I was about to beginning here.
In the fourth ball of the National League.
They come up with five big runs.
Let's see.
Five six-page hits.
There were no errors.
And there was a man left off.
So after three and one half innings of play here at the All-Star Game in Cleveland,
the score is the National League five, the American League four.

So ended the last half of the 4th inning.
which the markruk scored six times in a 5th inning.
This is the second bigger than The Null Star play.
Johnnie Agile, the fire left hander of the New York Giants coming on.
This is the guy who, before the season started, many people doubted the fact that he was going to be shot for the New York Giants,
but my old friend Russ Rogers said to me, how do you watch this boy? He's going to be good, and he is.
Johnnie Antonetti, 15th pass to Cal.
Look down into left field and sit there for a base hit.
Keep on pass here, leading off here in the fourth inning for the American League.
Look to the left.
Antonetti is giving up his first hit.
Johnnie Antonetti.
And that's 15 now. He's won 13-years-old, 0-6-4 shutout.
Check with him. Listen to the calls.
Nice ball feet in the hook and on in his three.
Well that's happening now, hitting left handed.
Facing Johnny Attenami who fires the fastball to him and pucks it over to Mies for call strike one.
Attenami fighting for Lemons who pitches two-thirds of an Emmy here for afternoon.
We'll have a new pitcher for the American legion that's off half of their finish.
Ted Williams.
Having a three-sixty-seven to the regular season playing in 40 ball games.
Injuries and all, he's been right in there.
Lean-sucked behind curveball under the chin.
The shot is one-bottom one strike.
The shot is one of the most significant figures in this game.
A career interrupted tricep over water service and by any number of injuries,
he's still dead in there back.
Right, he's no kid.
Ted Williams firing for Tom Lemons.
Tickle, carousel.
Let off here in the inning with a single.
That swings on the next pitch and peeps a ball right into the cloud for strike two.
His shot is one ball and two strikes.
Sonny Attenami standing out on the 5-11 of the ball.
Park forward with a tie run on now for the American legion for space.
Attenami came on here in the fourth inning.
Pitch is now to whatever is inside.
Right, that's all two.
Two balls and two strikes.
That's what I think will all remember.
The all-star game here this afternoon.
We all have a feeling this is going to be one of those all games that a lot of people have talked about for a long, long time to come.
There's a three-star back and forth already.
Park forward off a national league.
Williams, swing off.
That's the first ball.
That's what I'm gonna say.
My personal achievement.
I'll only be striking out.
I'll just run this one.
Williams goes back to the house.
Coming up is Minoso.
Who's played the federal role.
Minoso was on in the third inning and worked around on the single.
A round out and then when Rose and Eddie three-round won the most, it was one of the members four for the American League.
Minoso leading off with a play.
That's another ready.
So, it was a big lead up.
So far, high on that side.
Minoso for ball one.
Johnny Hansen on it.
He's a great pitcher for the national league.
Record of 13-2 and four shutouts.
Raven Roberts.
I'll say we have the last field.
We'll pick it up for him.
It's in there for a face in.
And the flow comes on in.
So, second base.
That's going to be last third.
Minoso, swing to any right side.
The second we have field for you now.
All right, that's the shankers.
That's the shankers.
In left field, Muzio moves over to play left field for the national league.
Sam Muzio moves over here in the ball setting to play left field.
William A. comes in center.
Look nice in front of field.
We'll check that right fielder for you.
I think that's Duke Sutter moves over to right.
I think Duke Sutter has moved over to right field.
Got to have another now facing Avila.
In comes a pitch to Avila.
And it's a little to ball one.
Sutter has moved over to right field everybody.
The footwork of Sutter in right field in the fourth inning when it mazes by in center.
Coming out of the ball again will be Robinson.
So you have to put mazes in Robinson's spot.
It's now to right handed batting Bobby Avila.
Here's a close curve.
He'll check on the first swing.
He's playing center field nationally here in the fourth inning.
And also on the first.
Garry Scow is on the third.
One out.
9-1 for the American League on at third base.
So Mr. Anthony Nellie has his work cut out for him.
Avila looks around at Marty Merriam.
Coaching down at third.
See if there's a sign of any kind.
Is Jablonsky moves up Scallow at third.
Holding Scallow as close as possible.
And another check she's got.
Delivers a curve ball.
Come on.
There's a loopy slide to left.
News he'll come in for.
Granted there's a backup.
And the curve ball to second base.
And the run comes in fourth.
Back to right fly in the left field.
Gives Bobby Abira a run back in.
The run scores up Johnny Anthony Nellie.
And it's now five and five.
So a death penalty small game to win a move.
And a whole run.
Got all being gotten here by the American League.
And the fourth inning belong to Bob Lemon.
So Lemon.
Much more to be the winning pitcher.
If any more runs come into score.
And the American League remains ahead.
Of course that all remains from the last of the baseball.
Garg and we'll have to wait and see.
Coming up and playing out of Mickey Mouse.
And also of course on that fly ball to left field.
Holding on to the first base.
When the curve came in to second base.
From San Mujil.
So one run has been slowed here to five and five.
And Mickey Mouse for the first time.
The first time the start of the new running right hash.
There's a full to first.
And also just to remember him ahead of him.
He's just the farthest the ball back to the mark.
Johnny Anthony has given up the one run inside the ball game.
And the foul ball with the man on is up to the play.
In comes the pitch Mickey take.
Outside the ball one.
There are two down here in the fourth inning.
To the tie breaking run.
And very sweet for the Mini Minosa.
Horizontal for his base.
Mickey Mouse left that try to do something about it.
He's gone over two today.
Slide to center and stuck out.
Swing to the fifth and doesn't get it.
A big lot of bad balls.
Mickey left that ahead of him.
On to that end taking a slap in Kaplanala.
So should the play then close over the first Minosa.
Has been warned of Anthony's quick motion to first base.
Back to the head of it.
And Kuzuski still remains on the inflight corner.
That was it.
Down comes the pitch.
Tell on the manlers and high bounding call to first.
Jablonski has it goes to first base for the after Kuzuski.
And that's the third one to retire the foul.
So all the man will pass the ball to the side of the side.
Here first to first in the fourth inning.
But it was a protective inning for the American League.
It seems I'm getting back into the ball game on an even footing.
One run for the American League here in the fourth inning.
There were two base hits.
One sacrifice to lie.
That's for the tie breaking run.
Seven or errors.
One man was left on.
Four men have been left on out by the American League
and going to that fourth time.
And the fourth inning to play now
is the American League five.
The National League five.
Well I don't know Mr. Dudley if you could have anything more even
in the baseball game than we've had here this afternoon in Cleveland.
Well I don't know when they started this back in 1933.
They turned it a fan stream game.
And that's what the fans are witnessing this afternoon.
Already the score is five and five.
The National League is at two pitches.
The American League is now coming on with its fourth pitch of all port of field.
And they say how that a ball club is no better than your bench.
When Ronald Alston pulled out of John Mueller
with that double into right center
he knew just what he was doing.
But this is the way the fans like it.
A thriller second.
Score is five and five.
Same number of hits.
Seven or eight.
And right now one of the American League's top right handers
Bob Porterfield got victory of last year
in the junior circuit coming on to pitch.
It looks like we're going to get the same amount of excitement
and gene play in the second half that we've had in the first half.
Well it's the Bob Porterfield as you saw the first coming on here.
He has one guard.
And it's all seven.
It's and five to httpumnesota.
And right under the right field here.
And four and five..
And one of those got to ride next way for Ted Williams.
he's
coming on.
He's
in
He's
When we make him out of the right field, we have Mini Manosov, the latest Alvin Darksbott,
Porterfield, pitches to a left curve, but inside for ball one.
Ball has come out of the ball game, so Porterfield has to win in the end spot of the batting order.
That'll be the number seven spot.
Porterfield delivers, dark takes.
Low, and outside on the fast curve ball for ball two.
A put Porterfield in and in the end spot.
That's a not Porterfield ball game to win or lose, as it is Antonelli.
The two-nothing delivery is a fast ball fired through under the letters to strike one call.
Five and five between the National and American League here, a top half of the fifth inning.
Dark to be followed by Schneider and then by Muzio.
All the changers have Williams and left field, while Porterfield on the mound.
Those are for two changers.
Porterfield pitching, Yogi Berwick catching.
Infield remains the same as started the ball game.
Williams now in left, Madeline Center, and in right field Manosov, ours out of the ball game.
Porterfield ready, delivers two long dark takes under the knees for ball three.
Muzio's in the lead, and a foul from one strike.
Porterfield getting set.
Looks out of Yogi Berwick, gets the time.
Dark waits for four of the three-one delivery.
Old command she's gone, hole for two.
Locked up from Schneider, brings on a six-cent or five-hour center field.
Madeline will ease the end.
It makes the catch foul number one.
It's a good time for our darkest driver center field to make him out.
That'll bring up Duke Schneider, who ended the inning in the first with a slap on the left field,
Manosov who's then playing in left.
And then he came along in the fourth inning and smacked one right back through the middle.
It's off a base hit, so Schneider now eyes one for two.
Duke, number four standing in, another California boy.
And another fellow who, by sheer determination, has become a fine baseball player.
Jose from that foul, does Porterfield outside.
Ah, I forgot the ball one this matter.
The front-tander batter started off today as the number one hitter in the Lachlan League,
batting a three-sixty-seven.
One hole pitch towards an overhand curveball.
It's coming across right up the street like to it.
Oh, no scuff that.
But Duke, I would have had it through the near.
Jimmy, you should have warned me about that.
I had my hand on it, but that was all.
That's one two-bleak tee.
One-on-one, there's a guard here on Duke Schneider.
Of course, you can't catch a baseball and you got a handful of pencil.
Another one-one pitch to Duke Schneider.
Porterfield comes twice to a little bit of a pass ball.
Schneider swings on it and hits the through in the right field.
Or a base hit.
Duke Schneider's been a ground ball between first and second and the right.
Big college drive, didn't make it.
That's the eighth base hit.
Well, the national league.
5-1, 28 hits.
That news hill coming up to the plate now is batting a three-sixty in all-star competition.
He's had 13s and 36s.
And news hill this afternoon has had two for two.
So with one-on, there's one-on.
Here, represents the tie-back he runs for the national league at first base.
Porterfield delivers, news hill takes the curve.
Over the out-star corner, nice to be first-front.
Stan news hill, playing in the leg-front stadium here for the first time in his baseball career.
And a lot of occasions, there's a lot of problems to our game.
Stan leans over to plate, wiggles himself into position.
There's a throw to first.
It's not in time, as matter gets back to it.
Rosen slips the ball back to the mound of Porterfield.
White-Luck-Boff delivers, curve ball, news hill swings on.
There's a high pop up out into the very short-Luck-Field.
Going back for it, his counter-scaler shuts off.
Williams comes on, but it's counter-scaled to make the catch.
And Satter, hurries back to first base.
Checking it out here in the top half of the inning.
Light up ball, game at 5-5.
The batting ball is hit for Zuzki.
Head's batted in one of the three-five runs.
The National League here today.
Rub it in in the fourth inning of the single.
Head into right field.
Satter.
That's Zuzki hitting right down.
Game time batting at 3-12.
The National League first baseman for the Cincinnati Reds.
Porterfield ready.
The Lippers in the fastball.
That after the rules, there is a hard-ratch kick into right field.
But also close back kick, but up there,
the goal's into right field.
Satter, head to field.
Head to field.
Satter, head to field.
Head to field.
He's got a hollow on the corner field fastballs and ready to go.
3-1 batted in now for Zuzki.
Here's Jeff Lunski.
7-5 ball game.
Head to the National League.
Porterfield ready.
The Lippers.
Jeff Lunski swings into high-bounded ball down back up third.
Poon is up with it.
There is his go to first base in time and Jeff Lunski is up.
Well, we've had some action here in the first...
a lot of happenings with this ball game.
Let's see, here in the fifth inning.
Two big runs for the National League for the Matic Park.
Two runs on a single and a home run.
The home run hit by Zuzki.
Those are the only two hits.
They were no arrows and nobody's left on.
The National League is left on two and a half.
He's going to backfire time.
At the end of the third one and a half inning,
I'll play here at Cleveland.
The ball stands...
...leaked by...
...the wide Gillette's newest and lathered shaving cream.
It's called foamy.
And it gives you billows of rich creamy lather at the flick of a finger.
And what a lather it is.
Foamy really prepares your beard properly.
Soaks it soft for quickly easy shaving.
Because of its convenience,
many of the manners which into this type of cream.
You'll get a kick out of using it too.
You simply press the valve of the container and press it off.
You've got to press supply of lather.
We're ready for use.
You can also find Gillette's foamy a mighty thrifty shaving cream to use.
In fact, the three month supply costs only 79 cents.
So next time, get foamy.
And get cool, refreshing shaves.
And give you a real win.
What's up with the five?
We are the National Candles in the National League set up.
Also in the National League set up.
We'll have a change of one fire.
So if Bill Stewart comes back behind to play with Mary Romo,
it goes over to take the third.
And it's my pleasure and pleasure to introduce the five known for the right time.
All those games, hard of reputation here in the middle of the night.
And the five must get.
Would you like to introduce Bill for the last half of the ball game?
Jimmy Dunn. Come on, Jim, it's all yours.
Thank you very much, Al.
And let's hope that the second half of his building is the first half.
He gives himself well.
He's leading seven to five, a couple of changes.
Randy Jackson of the Chicago Cups is now at third base in place of Randy Hamlet.
And Red King Deans is at second base in place of...
Our King Deans is at second base in place of Hamlet.
And in place of Diplomps, he at third, is Randy Jackson.
Yogi Berra leads off.
The first pitch joined me, tries the punt.
Foul down the third baseline for strike one.
National League seven.
American League five. As the National League has came up with two beginnings.
Five runs in the fourth and two in the fifth.
Yogi Berra attempting to get on base,
but he lost that in the 5,000th pitch.
Johnny Encinelli, one of the...
And it's my pleasure.
And for everybody to introduce the five,
I'm Bill for the right time.
All those games, hard of reputation here in the middle of the night.
And the five must get.
Would you like to introduce Bill for the last half of the ball game?
Jimmy Dunn. Come on, Jim, it's all yours.
Thank you very much, Al.
And let's hope that the second half of his schooling was successful.
He gave it so well.
The National League leading seven to five, a couple of changes.
Randy Jackson of the Chicago Cup is now at third base in place of Randy Hamlet.
And where's Candice?
Is at second base in place of...
Our Candice is at second base in place of Hamlet.
And in place of Diplomps, he at third, is Randy Jackson.
Yogi Berra leads off.
The first pitch joint, he flies the punt, fouled down the third base line for strike one.
National League seven, American League five.
As the National League has came up with two beginnings,
five runs in the fourth and two in the fifth.
Yogi Berra attempting to get on base,
but he's off better here in the last half of the fifth.
Johnny Anthony, one of the...
Fires left-handers of the National League,
obtained by the New York Giants from the Milwaukee Braves,
into the windup. The pitch is one of those lines left,
out of the shortstop, better than that field of 8-5.
Stan Learfield coming over five, the color makes the turn.
He's held it first, a single, on the throwback to the end field.
And there we go again.
As the American League bounces right back.
Stepping into the batter's box is number seven, Al Rosen,
whose home run in the third inning has counted for three of the American League's runs.
American League led, four to nothing at the end of three.
Right-hand batter.
Anthony, the pitch is a strike to the outside corner of the aisle.
Bill Stewart, veteran officers back to the plate
for the last half of the ballroom.
Anna Pickers at first, balance planters at second.
Eddie Ramos moves to third base.
Strike one to count, the run leaves.
The pitch is inside, Rosen holding back on his wings.
The ball one, down his evens evens.
Ball one and strike one.
And the red coming up with his first hit of the ball
for him, he had had a walk previously.
So the American League has now have a total of eight years.
Here's the stretch.
The pitch is high and outside.
The count is two and one.
Ball zero and strike one to count.
The odd field is at least, and well around the left.
Van Muir's the old deep and straight away,
almost back to the edge of the track in left field.
And William A. of the New York Giants,
the red center towards the 380 mark.
They're on the trace, there's nobody out in the last of the fifth.
Here's the pitch, one on the left.
Balling, balling and it is down, well behind.
Here ladies and gentlemen, is Sully and all four of the farmers.
Two home runs and two turns to pass.
Well, Rosen and five runs, let it in.
This ball game is again tied up, deadlocked at seven and seven.
Nobody out, Ray Brown stepped in.
He hit a home run his last time up.
Longs and LA pitches, ball one high.
Ball one to count.
That ties the all-star record for most home runs in the game.
Two, set by Orquivon of the Pittsburgh Clarence back in 1941.
Orquivon, at least, the Pittsburgh Clarence.
The next pitch, ball two high and out five,
but got it through and nothing.
And now Roy Campanella moves out the drop to the pitch
with Johnny Antonelli.
Antonelli has been one of the big reasons
why the New York Giants are leading the national league.
This year, he has come along in great strides.
Leo DeRosha is very happy about that field.
Here's the wind up, but you and nothing stick.
Well, on a ground ball down the third base line,
taken by Jackson on the big hop.
The sort of person who moves out, one away.
And now Gritzen, warming up down in the bullpen.
One out.
And the score is 7-7.
Right now, it's far 10 seconds for station identification.
This is the mutual broadcasting system.
And this is WGN, the Chicago Tribune Station,
Chicago, in up and saving the middle west.
Back at Cleveland's municipal stadium.
The last half of the fifth inning, one out, Bob Protofield.
The right-hand batting, and the first pitch.
And Lyons running through that field,
but Newfield, most of them out, and it makes the catch.
The Lyons drive into left field,
off about a pop water field, one of the better hitting pitchers
in the major league today.
There are two outs, and nobody outs.
By the way, Al Rosen has not only tried the home run record
in all-star competitions, but the record for most runs
batted in in a single game.
In the first half of the fifth inning,
he has tried that one.
But Williams, of Boston did it in 46.
Tico Garrys-Gell is the batter.
Right-hand hitting shot-shot.
First pitch, he fouls it, off to the right of the plate.
Mike Lund.
Bob Grissom, the oldest player on the National League squad
for this year's All-Star Game,
is warming up down in the low back.
Like Lund account, Ansonelli into the wind-up.
The pitch is high and outside for ball one.
One-and-one account.
Fans are getting a big kick out of the National League umpire,
Bill Stewart, who is very dramatic, spectacular in his work.
Fine umpire.
The next pitch is a straight call to the inside corners.
Ansonelli both the serves in on the right-hand batter.
Ball one and strike two with two out, and nobody on.
Two runs at home, the ball game is tied up 7-and-7.
On deck is Ted Williams.
If Garrys-Gell can get on, you can bet your boots.
The fans will be calling for more action.
Lotfield is around to the left, big hole open in right center.
The one-and-two pitch, Ace bringing a miss.
Tone change-up, he struck him out.
Garrys-Gell goes down for the third out, retiring the side.
That is Ansonelli's second strikeout from Pearson in the ball game.
In the fifth inning for the American League, two runs on two hits.
And the score at the end of five innings is National League 7, American League 7.
Fans know of the Razor Honour is in the same league with the one-feet Gillette.
It gives you easy shade, and talk about convenience, you change plays in a different...
Now going into the first half of the sixth inning with the National League at bat, number 24,
William Mayne, making his first appearance in an all-star game.
Just a couple of years ago, an unknown in organized baseball, as far as the major league are concerned,
he has come on to become one of the most spectacular, amazing stars of the 1954 season.
31 home runs to his credit. This year, a National League competition.
Mayne's heat spread far apart, waiting for the pitch.
The wind up, the pitch is on and grounded fouls, down the third base line, out of play.
Right one.
Now warming up in the National League, well, then, is number 21, Lawrence Farm, prep fender.
Right one to come on, William Mayne, for the field pitches, ball went high and outside.
Strong right-handers from the Washington, Connecticut, like Leninghamna, another fine Virginia boy.
The OK's the time, the pitches went on and fouled high over toward the American League dugout.
Howlersen moving over, but he won't be able to get it. It drops back in the trial, out of play.
There's the usual scramble for a foul ball, a souvenir of the all-star game of 1954.
Connect with that $85 fruit. There's a $2.85 fish ball rolling around over there.
Roll one and strike two on the batter, William Mayne.
Mayne does come along so fast that he is now being reckoned as one of the top stars of the game.
Connects, just one, there's a half-drive going on at the left field.
And the Oaks, Ted Williams moves back on the track in front of a pension he has there.
William Mayne is first time up in the all-star game, giving the fans a real thrill as he drove one deep into left field.
One out of the National League is here in the first half of the sixth inning.
The score is tied 7-7. The batter is number 39, Roy Campanella.
Well, he certainly has done a humans job in all-star play in his career.
He speaks power as he stands there and takes the first pitch outside and lower the curve ball.
The famous American League striker. The O'Dhammers ask you where it came from.
Nobody seems to know. One O'Dhammers said it was a nickel curve.
The next pitch, Campanella fouls the back of the screen. Strike one.
Roll one and strike one to count. National League seven runs, nine hits.
American League seven runs, nine hits. It has been an early contest. That's why.
The boxfielders are on short-lift. They recognize the ability of this boy, Roy Campanella, to drive one out of here.
Here's the wind-up. The pitch is outside and higher.
Ball two. Turn one to count.
Ted Williams in left field. Mickey Matlin in center. Many men also in right.
Williams never still a minute. He's out there. Studies every plate of grass.
The two-one pitch is thrown on and fouled back to the screens. Strike two.
Hit your count.
You've all been shocked into play by the Empire Bill Stewart.
Jay Brun, the third baseman from Detroit, covering right close to the line. Roll back to the bag.
Frank Thomas is on deck. Looks like we'll have a pinch at him for Anthony Nellie.
One out. We're on the first half of the sixth inning.
What a field of action. Pitch is in there. The line draft. How don't you like center for a base hit?
Rolling out short, the center field are coming over fast. Manler's up with it.
The throwback to second. Holding it through a single. Campanella is on first base.
That is his first hit. And the 10th hit of the game for the National League.
That's the number 15, Frank Thomas of the Fifth World Cup.
Batting for Anthony Nellie. Here comes the National League's second century.
Tom Miller of the Giants is the first to be doubled and drove in a run.
Run-around first, Roy Campanella.
Thomas has a batting average of 304 in National League competitions this year.
After the All-Star game. First pitch, he shrank and fouled it back into the upper deck.
How to play. Into the first pass.
And learn the many writers. There from all over the country.
Frank Thomas playing with the Fifth World Pirates also happens to be the pride and joy of Fifth World fans.
Barn and bread. Right there in the great video pitch.
Here's the stretch. The next pitch. Bound into the deck right at his feet, Frank Thomas.
Strike two. Throw into the can on the batter.
The outfielders began a throw to well around left.
Playing in stricter to throw. That was the way they played Roy Campanella when he smashed one into right center.
Campanella is the base runner. First is one out.
One out. Seven and seven. Barn's spawn continues to warm up in the broke end for the National League.
The next pitch is ball one outside and lower with a curve.
Breaking down and away from the right hand batter.
Barn's next. Ready to come up for his first time.
And this game is one of the National League great stars, Red Shandy.
Time is called briefly.
And away from the boys over in the broke end. Throwed out into left field.
Alright back in action. Frank Thomas.
Barn looking out for you to right hand batter.
Waiting for the pitchers to right free ball. He struck him out.
Now fastball plays right by him. Let it pass.
That is the first strikeout for an American League pitcher.
24 that nun.
Guns break them.
And lemon.
They'll come up with a strikeout.
American League pitchers have worked only one batter.
Red Shandy left hand hitter is up.
Twins on the first pitch and fouls it down the left field.
And Williams racing fourth towards Bruin.
But neither can get to it.
Drops on the strikeout of play.
That's the foul strike one.
Shandy gives a switch hitter.
Getting left against right hand pitch.
There's a pitch.
On the first day of the pop-up.
Williams digging hard.
He makes the catch.
That requires the size.
The National League has failed the score.
In the sixth inning for the National League.
No runs. One hit.
Napa Nella single in the right center.
One man left.
And we're going to the last half of the sixth inning for the score.
The National League seventh. American League seventh.
Look sharp.
In the top.
Inside.
To the breaks.
Now loading at Grand Four.
For future travel.
Through the moon.
Not made through.
You will get.
What's that?
And now for smooth.
A few still will be through.
In other places.
You'll take place in a tree.
No razor yet.
And pop to left.
For comfort, speed and ease.
Full of shots.
Every time you dare to feel shy.
On the ball and feet.
Just being young.
And you'll win.
And now fans back at Cleveland.
Huge municipal stadium.
Going into the last half of the sixth inning.
We have a new pitcher.
For the National League.
Barnes-Fawn number 21.
From the Milwaukee Brains.
Barnes-Mike Rubble has had previous experience in the All-Star game.
He's lost all star games.
Barnes is ready to pitch to Ted Williams, the left hand butter.
He lined up in the first pitch as Bar 1, July.
Barnes with a Milwaukee Brains has a record of eight runs and ten losses for the 54 campaign.
Ted Williams left hand butter.
Against left hand pitcher.
Barnes fires.
Ball two.
Over but high with a curve ball.
Williams was up as a center in the fourth inning.
Batting for Bob Lemon.
He struck out.
This is 1s-Fawn 7s All-Star game.
What do you guys think of it?
Here's the wind up.
The two and nothing pitchers outside.
Ball three.
Attempting to keep the ball away from Big Ted Williams.
He has just missed on a couple of them.
Ball three no strikes.
The outfield is around Ted Wright and deep in all fields.
Right out of the empty of each.
The three and nothing pitch.
Two highs for ball four.
And Williams opens the last of the six with a base on ball.
That brings up the top of the batting order.
The ball goes many minors though.
And Mellie worked two innings.
Give up three runs.
Four hits and struck out two.
Walk none.
That's the third base on balls.
Given up by National League pitches.
Many minors though.
Right hand batter.
He has to walk and the single in three steps to the plate.
Sort of first by Spahn.
He has a good motion.
This is covering Williams back in time.
Manoso steps out.
That field is shifted around Ted left from Manoso.
However they are very worried of this boy.
He hits to all fields.
Another sort of first has Spahn.
Side to catch Williams meaning toward second.
Number 21.
Here's the pitch.
Inside and low ball one.
Manoso holding back on his swing.
Manoso has been the harrier.
Now they should cover a white cross attack this year.
Crossed in RBI.
And in home run.
Another sort of first.
Spahn starts to ball down to Williams.
That's the pitch.
The pitch is the arm from Ted Kudiski.
225 pounds.
Williams leads up.
The pitch is a strike.
Pass ball to the outside front of Bel Tide.
Ball one and strike one the chance.
When the last half of the sixth inning was restored to Tide.
National League 7.
American League 7.
Nobody out.
Manoso crossed over the plate.
The next pitch.
He changed up his left for Lyons drive in the right field.
Williams facing around 7.
8% is going on the third.
Matt is still coming over.
He's cut off.
Five is shot up Alvin Dahl.
Holding Manoso at first.
And Dahl was really playing heads up baseball.
Realizing that Manoso would have attempted to go to second.
He cut it off.
And he realized he throws out of line.
Here's Manoso's second straight yet.
Reynolds on first and third.
With nobody out.
The American League is starling back again.
Only this time they have an opportunity to forge in front.
Bobby Avila just in.
Lawrence Bond on the left-hand.
Just down three times.
Here's the church.
The pitch is a strike.
Pass ball right over.
Right one on Bobby Avila.
Avila has two hits and has many times for the plate officially.
Got to run that again with his fireball to let the other guys trip up.
Manoso leaves off first.
Williams off third.
Bond pitches and there's a foul-stiff out of the catch this time.
Strike two.
New ball starts in the play.
Bondek is Mickey Lamble.
The American League has a total of ten hits now.
Each team has a total of ten hits.
Bond finds himself in a rough spot.
The left-hand he takes off with a sign from Cappanella.
OK, it's the next.
The count on two.
In position.
The pitch is thrown on and fouls.
Down to right field line.
Saving back into the fans.
Got to play.
Virgil five-straps.
Running up in the American League bullpen.
All right, the orange of pitch is thrown into the dirt.
A fine stop by Roy Cappanella.
And that's the way catcher.
Strike two to count now.
Dead-chain beam.
Second baseman moves in a step of two to sharpen and curing words for a catcher.
The outfield is a plane just about straight away for Abila.
What he may is.
He's going to field him up through these.
It's not one and two.
Runner's on first and third.
Bond pitches and there's a loop.
We're going out to left field.
That's all.
He's going to be in there for a pace.
He's gone through the way from here.
He recovers Manoso's one to third before coming in.
And Manoso is out.
He's just a second on the call.
Williams scores easily from third.
He waited to make sure the ball would fall in there.
It is Abila's third hit and his second run batted in.
And also, attempting to go to third was out.
Here's the old two.
Third baseman Jackson seven-five in your score.
Abila is on second.
Moving to second on the throw into the play-face.
That is Mickey Mabel.
Again batting right-handed against left-hand pitch.
American League leading eight to seven.
Great pitch by Spahn to Mabel.
He's four-one high and outside.
Mabel is 0-3.
Five to center field struck out and down to down.
Abila on second takes the lead.
There's a stretch by Spahn.
The pitch is drawn on a ground ball.
One's last to third baseman of a shot.
That's easy.
And that can't make a play.
It's last to second.
Hopeings and Seton start the Abila off.
And it is a basic by Mickey Mabel.
Well, the fans got a big kick out of it.
Watching the fusion of the 11,000 dogs.
As he tried to come up with one of the unusual plays,
what would have been, how's the game,
that he'd been able to get Abila?
Abila had to bat back.
It's an in-field hit for Mabel.
Very fast of course.
So I've got no chance to get him.
Runner's on fifth and second.
One out.
And Yogi Berra is up then.
Not that bad.
First pitch.
Berra is outside to get away from the catch.
He's having a left.
But as long as he's not moved,
just right away from him, the short ways,
he's leaving inside.
Fall on the count.
Berra.
Berra has to walk into Senkul
and three trips to the play.
American League leading by a score of 87.
Well, in OK's the sand chips for Runner's.
The pitch has 20 minutes for strike one.
All one and strike one.
The count on Yogi Berra.
Little fella that came up to get a hill
in St. Louis some years ago
to become one of the major league's top stars.
There's the stretch.
The pitch is fouled back into the radio booth, yeah?
Big Al, don't tell me you missed that one.
I sure did.
After second time, I tried to catch it
with a pencil and it doesn't work.
I hope you better get that to our vibes.
Strike sure to count.
Probably a few of those on second.
Mickey Mantle is on first.
That's where the blank straight away
is the end of the fact that he throws hard to right field.
The runner's on the move.
The pitch is popped into a shot right field.
Second baseman.
Red chain, moving back his 100th.
He makes the catch.
That's you out.
And the roar of the crowd.
Leap now heard when the beat comes up.
Alvila goes for third on the pitch.
But quickly he plays his step
and he's shot a ball of pop-up in his short right field.
Howlers are now stepping in.
There's two homeruns in second of the plan.
His last is just to the plate.
Five runs right again.
First pitch he swings and fouls 50.
End of the day.
Strike one.
Lawrence Spahn, the left-hander on the mound
for the National League.
The left-hand Williams gave up a hit to Minoso.
And a hit to Alvila.
Those singles.
That's her.
And a foul fly.
Minoso is now trying to go to third on Alvila's hit.
There's two away.
One run home.
Ball one is high and outside.
A curve ball to refusing.
Barn rubbing his hand.
Now looking at it.
Flanners even sweeping.
Ball one and strike one.
Last half of the sixth inning.
For eight to seven American ladies.
Pass ball is swinging a miss for strike two.
And Spahn has a fast ball.
A real blue starter when he wants to rear back and let it go.
Ball one and strike two to count.
End of the session.
Spahn takes the runners.
Ball one and strike two.
Ball two and strike two.
Marv Grissom again warming up for the National League.
Down the left field line.
Virgil Trout warming up for the American ladies.
In for Bisham Chouas.
Spahn steps off the rubber.
The boys were taking too big a lead.
Alvila on second.
Man along first.
Here's the trick.
Ball two and strike two.
Marv Grissom again warming up for the National League.
Down the left field line.
Man along first.
Here's the trick.
The Tudor pitch is fired into the base.
As Rosen attempts to protect the plate.
You notice one thing about Al Rosen.
You watch him play.
From the count in his favor.
He's right down on the end of his bat.
Ready to go for that long one.
Then the pitcher gets two strikes on him.
He'll shorten up.
Choke up on the bat just to catch.
Man along lead off first.
Tudor pitch again filed into the base.
Ball two and strike two.
Barn and Coralfield are the two pictures of record.
As of right now.
The air ball games are won early.
Then the last half of the sixth inning
with the American League leading 8-7.
The Tudor pitch.
400 yards to hard smash off the pitch.
Now, Clark comes over to pick it up.
But can't make a play.
The bases are loaded.
It is a basic for Al Rosen.
The hard smash.
All-flanders Jackson's left.
Alvin Jackson came up with it.
But was unable to make a play.
A deal on.
And Manville both fast and then moving up.
And that's who they want to go with two outs.
Rosen's third hit.
And here comes Walt Orson.
Number 24.
The Brooklyn manager of the National League All-Star team.
We may get a new pitcher.
Mark Bisson has been warming up.
Down in the growth end.
And is ready to come in if they need him.
They are calling for Bisson to come in.
Well, I'll help you.
You've got a lot of All-Star games.
And I guarantee you haven't seen any more action
than you're watching today, have you?
Well, I'm sure you're right.
The last one we saw had a lot of action in it.
Jimmy was the one that came up in the park in 1950.
One of the next innings.
Right here this afternoon we're seeing a parade of the stars.
And I think that's where everyone came out to see.
Right now, as you said, Mark Bisson is coming on.
The final release of the New York Giants in the American League.
It was making his first appearance in All-Star play.
And in the Liberty All-Star League pitcher.
So, Mark Bisson is coming on.
The All-Star games were filled with the Giants
and has lost three fifths-one shutouts.
He's been used principally in the relief by Leo de Rocher.
But he certainly has turned out to be one of the fine stoppers
as far as the Giants are concerned.
So, Mark Bisson, well in his studies.
And he's the hooky-judge right-hander.
Glippers were sort of a broken-on delivery.
Right now, talking to Roy Campanello.
So, Jimmy, it looks as though they're going to the bullpen
into the best win this one in the All-Star game this afternoon.
Well, this is what makes the fans happy now.
The greatest stars, as you noted a moment ago.
Bisson has been one of the great finds of the 54 seasons
as far as Leo de Rocher and the New York Giants are concerned.
He has saved a lot of ball games for the de Rocher men.
And they're drive for the 54 of Tennessee.
Long ways until September.
But the Giants are riding high.
And view the fact that they've been able to take
the course's contender, the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The Cleveland Indians leading the American League
by a stand-up game.
All teams will return to action again first.
All right, Bisson takes just a couple of warm-up draws
and signifies he's ready to work.
The base is eluded.
Bobby O'Vealer is on third.
Mickey Manville is on second.
Al Rosen is at first.
The base runner with a single.
The base is 12.
There are two outs.
The American League leading by a score of 8-7.
Ray Boone is about it.
Chris Fitch by Bisson to Boone is 4-1 outside and low.
Boone has been up three times.
There's one hit.
He's playing in his first all-star game.
He's moving to Detroit.
He's become a fine ball player.
The next pitch is playing in a mid-final fastball.
Like one.
Down is even one-on-one.
O'Vealer is around good left.
One-on-one to count.
Bisson looks down to his catch-in.
Laura Campanella.
The two outies working strictly on the batter.
One-on-one to strike two.
Better high at the pitch, isn't there?
All one and strike two.
Marty Marion.
Caught him in third base.
Now with a Chicago White Sox.
Brady Hutchinson.
Manager of the Detroit Tigers at first.
Here's the one and two pitch.
Inside for ball two.
Boone started fourth with Hellback.
And now for ball two.
Two to count.
The all-star game of 1954.
Coming through you from Cleveland's municipal stadium.
American League 8 leading by a score of 8-7.
Basers have loaded the two out.
There's the fifth corner.
There's a five-all going into the right center.
William May is raised his own position under the net.
And he has it.
Giving with a fastest catch.
To fill the crowd.
He made it easily.
And Bisson pulled out of it.
Just the one-run score.
Williams who had walked earlier to lead off.
One run for a total of four hits.
And three minutes left.
And the score at the end of six innings.
The American League leading 8-7.
Right now it's for 10 seconds for station identification.
This is the Mitzuo broadcasting system.
Here's the WGM.
Michigan-Govatribune station.
Third in the middle west.
All right.
That's great.
All right.
So, we're going to go on the right side.
We're going to go on the left side.
We're going to go on the right side.
We're going to go on the left side.
We're going to go off the left side.

The ball is coming up for the seven-bending stretch here.
The other thing to do is the attendance of today's game.
The attendance record was set right here in Cleveland in the 1935 World Cup game.
That had been 69,000.
All right, let's play ball. Alvin D'Arc steps in.
First pitch by Puerto Fielder. Go into the game. Go one.
First stop by Larry Vera.
Vera, going into the seventh inning, catching this ball again.
The single calls on his best to take that lead, eight to seven.
The next pitch is ball two over but low with a curve ball, breaking down away from a right hand batter.
Ball two, no strike.
Here's the lineup, but two and no fifth. Deliverance from Anstowell, back of the plate.
Larry Vera moving back, close to the screen.
And he makes the catch. Ball first out.
One away.
Puerto Fielder came in with a ball game in the fifth inning.
That's the ball lemon that's given way to a pen shitter.
It is his ball game to win. We can protect that eight to seven lead.
Looks like the American League is enjoying it the present time.
One out and Duke's net is the batter. He has two for three, both singles.
And like many of the National League players capable of the long ball, there's ball one.
And the ball into the disc. Ball on the count.
The right hander warming up in the emergency blow then right now is Bob Keegan of the Chicago White Sox.
Ball on the count on Duke's net. On Decker's New Deal.
American League without hitting the National League, 13 to 10.
Here's the wind up. What a field pitch is, ball two over but low.
Ball flying deep and straight away back to the edge of the track in right field.
Making a manhole. Ball around into the right center.
Turn up and count. The next pitch is a strike call.
Little half pitch got the outside corner. The counter's now turn one.
The batter is not very happy about the call.
Bill Stewart, the National League umpire, one of the best in the business,
gives him a little motion of a hand. Say the pitch is right across the ladies.
The two-one pitch. Swirl on and foul back into the upper deck. Out of play.
Off to the left of the press box.
Ball two and strike two.
The official attendance at today's All Star game, 68,751.
Here's where they fail to come up with a new record.
Turn to the count. One out and nobody out. American League leading, 8 to 7.
First half of the 7th inning.
Luke Smatter, the Brooklyn Dodgers waiting. Here's the wind up from the pitch.
The line's out of the ground to left field. That ball is going all the way to the wall.
William's casing it. Knight is fiddling for two.
He goes into second, standing up with a double.
Into left field by Bill Smatter.
As he went for a night-side pitch.
And the fans start pressing as New Zealand comes up. Another left-hand batter.
Here truly is one of the game's most dynamic players.
His late personality on and off the field.
He's been nice for his flowers wherever he goes.
That baseball fan, John, an old alike.
Playing in his 11th All Star game. He has two hits and three trips to the plate.
Kings and misses the first to make change up.
What a feeling there, how much the figure that New Zealand would be eager.
Chased up on him. Like one.
Runner on second with one out. Good Snider.
They put this one on and passed out.
Into shot by C. O. Bobby O'Villard.
Playing in perfect lane. Moves around into position.
And he's headed for the second out.
Here's the ball.
And the ball is going all the way to the wall.
Here's the ball.
And the ball is going all the way to the wall.
He's in perfect lane. Moves around into position. And he's headed for the second out.
Two down.
Coming up now is Dave Cruise.
They call him down around Cincinnati.
Dave Kruzinski.
225 pounds, six for two.
He has his baseball shirt.
And he's set off right after the shoulder.
Standing there in the batter's box.
Yogi Berra.

Better double.
Coming up with the 11th gift of the National League.
He represents the tying run here in the first half of the 7th inning.
The National League is out facing one of the best in the American League.
Bust what a field.
In position.
Look back to the run of the pitch is ball one.
Outside and low.
Ball on the count.
Because Duke Snider is a single on the home run.
That's given him three runs.
When he hits them they're long gone.
Swings on the next pitch and grounds it foul.
Down the first base line out of play.
Colley Grimm.
The manager of the Milwaukee Braves.
Field of that one.

Clutching his third.
Minersa has moved back onto the track in right field.
He saw that first home run for Duke.

What a field.
He's ready to pitch a swing and a foul tip into the court.
Ball one and strike two.
Porterfield is very quick.
Extremely fast.
That's a good start.
That was tough.
Duke Snider in the base runner.
Second American League leading by a score of eight to seven.
There are two outs.
Very warm here in Cleveland.
The guys were overclassed this morning but cleared beautifully.
The perfect day for base ball.
Ball one.
Strike two to count.
All right, Porterfield takes off one side.
OK's the next.
Looks back to the run of the pitch.
There's one out of ground.
Balls to Rosin.
It's clear she's up with it.
Pitches to the bag ahead of the runner.
And for this year's out, retiring this time.

End of the seventh inning for the National Lakers.
No runs.
One hit.

We're going to have a pension, eh?
Number two, Nelson Fox from the Chicago White House.
Nelson Fox, the great little pepper pot second baseman, and the Paul Richards, the Chicago White House.
That big cheer of the faculty in his mouth, always rhythm. Left hand batter.
Listen, first pitch is fouled back to the screen, strike one.
American Lake Pitches will tell you that here is one of the most...
Well, the best gift guy in baseball, that's just about the way you have to describe him when you listen to them.
It's one of the most consistent hitters in the business.
If there's a hole in the infield, you'll find it.
The next pitch is fouled back into the stand, a mutual engineer almost coming up with a souvenir on that one.
American League leading by a score of 8-7, when the last half of the seventh inning.
Undebted Chico Carri-Skel.
The other half of the Chicago White House double play combination.

The American Lakers are readying another strong regender, Bob Keegan, down in the bullpen.
Bob's field shallow and left, the next pitch is fouled down the third baseline, by Fox, can't remain.
He has been known to pull a ball right down the first baseline.
Wins the Harvard, doesn't land a pitch in that particular fashion, they're playing him around to the left.
Luke Snyder has a lot of right field of cover.
The next pitch is swinging a miss, he struck him out, and that is something you do not see very often.
Nelson Fox going down swinging.
That happened until a couple of weeks ago, he had faced Indian pitchers, for example, almost 400 times
before Don Moss, a rookie left hander, struck him out.
He called Carlos Keller's the batter, shortstop, takes, ball on outside and low, ball on the count.
Bob Griffin, serving for the National Lakers, into the wind-up, the pitchers ball through into tights,
too close to the batter, ball to most rights.

The American Lakers are readying another strong right-handed, Bob Keegan, down in the both ends.
Fox feels shallow and left.
The next pitch is fouled down to third base line, by Fox, down for Mayne.
He has been known to throw a ball right down the first base line, with the Harvard, doesn't plan to pitch him.
That's the figure of fashion, they're playing him around to the left.
Good Snider, has a lot of right-fielder coverage.
The next pitch is swinging him in, he's struck him out.
And that is something you do not see very often.
A thousand blocks going down swinging.
That happened a couple of weeks ago, he had faced Indian pitches, for example, almost 400 times,
before Don Marcy, a rookie left-handed, struck him out.
He called Harris-Cowellers the batter, shortstop, takes ball on outside and lowers.
Ball on the count.
Mark Griffin, calling for the National Lakers.
End of the wind-up.
The pitch is ball to Renzi Tice, he goes to the batter, ball to No-Strikes.
He's on the Jackson, a third base, and just about even with the bag, in case of a front drive.
One out, nobody on.
The outfielders are around to the left.
That's where nothing fits.
Balls back to the screen.
Ball to N-Strike 1.
Ted Williams is on deck.
Now moves back into the shade of the shadows.
The turn-1 pitch is going, he takes his bat, he grounds one of his shortstop.
Don covers over nicely, he's up with it.
The first, Harris-Cowellers out, number two.
Don Griffin for Soski, 6-3.
Don Griffin.
Ted Williams is about it with two out.
And nobody on, in the last half of the seventh inning.
Now the outfield should be way around to right.
Alvin Dodd, the shortstop, moves over close to the second.
First pitch is a strike call to the outside corner, Neyhav.
Red chain beams to the second baseman.
Midway between first and second, is back on the edge of the outfield grass.
First Krasinski, right along the line.
The next pitch is strike two with another fastball, Neyhav.
On to the count.
And Vissom has come two very fast pitches.
Going around the knees, here's the windup.
Pitch is outside for ball one.
Ball one and strike two.
Vissom uses a screwball, and he has great control over it.
All right, the one and two pitch, outside.
Again the screwball, that was ball two.
Vissom has one of these, odd stance is a faceball.
He's always working up there, pulling a new shirt.
And the great pair of eyes.
The two pitch, he swings and fouls it back into the upper depth.
Ball two and strike two.
Vissom, of course, remembers some of his great feats in all-star competitions.
Regular season play.
One of the game's great stars.
Ball two and strike two with two hours, nobody odd.
Here's the windup.
There's some pitches, fouled into the deck.
Williams still alive.
Muzio has pulled all the way over into left center.
In the American League, quite often they use what they repair, too, as the Williams shift.
With the shortstop actually on the first base side of second.
And this fellow's up.
The two pitch, he swings and he misses, he's stuck him out.
Williams goes down swinging.
That's the second strikeout for Vissom.
Re-upp and free down for the American League, no runs, no hits, nothing is lost.
And at the end of seven, with four, American League eight, National League seven.
There you know what Brooklyn Starship's night of days.
Well, really smooth, easy shave,
nor the racer can touch today's one piece Gillette.
I would be the last guy in the world to argue with you about that.
Try today's Gillette and see why.
So how after a slug test in the middle three innings,
it looks like this is going to blow down to a fan pitches battle.
Well, things are going to be tough from here on out.
Jimmy, you can bet your last bottom dollar on that.
Pretty tough guy coming out to do some pitching here now for the American League boss Latin.
That's Virgil Trucks, the left climbing ham.
Virgil Trucks is one-twelve, is one-five this year in the American League.
He's picked three shut-offs.
Virgil Trucks has been one of the five pitchers.
He's a double no hitter in the American League.
And actually this year he's pitched a one-hitter to over the Detroit Tigers.
That happened to Detroit on the sixth day of this month.
Virgil Trucks almost had another no-hitter to join the Europe-Russeinist Bob Treller with three no-hitters.
That's Virgil Trucks coming out now.
He's a one-hitter this year with a record of twelve and five on the year.
Three shut-offs.
So things can be pretty tough for those National League players from here on out, Jim.
Absolutely Al. Well, we still have plenty of action coming up.
American League leading by a score of eight to seven.
I know. I'm sorry, Jim. I just don't see that it's not going to be Trucks.
It's going to be Keegan coming out to pitch for the Chicago White Sox.
How far the American League is from the White Sox.
Victor Nelson-Clock going to stand at second base, Jim.
All right, Al. The White Sox are well represented on the American League squad for this year.
You know, one of the truly great stars of past All-Star competition is one of the game's greatest players.
Who's unable to be here today.
Joden Joe, the Yankee Clipper.
A man who has thrilled thousands and thousands of baseball fans all over the world.
Joden Marshall out in San Francisco, probably hoping he would be here today.
But according to his friend Bob Ardman of the Oakland Express,
Joe was unable to make the trip for the All-Star game this year.
Business too pressing.
All right, Bob Keegan is ready to work and Randy Jackson leads off.
Jackson, the third baseman, takes a strike to the outside quantity high.
Keegan into the wind up for pitch.
They're swinging them in for strike two.
Keegan has posted a fine record with the White Sox this year.
He's one, twelve and mark three.
On to the count on Randy Jackson.
Representing the Chicago Cup different national leagues.
Leading off, here in the eighth, the pitch is low into the deck.
Fine stop by Barra.
The count moves to ball one and strike two.
On deck is what he may use.
I imagine a million thoughts are running through his mind as he wakes to come up.
Probably hoping that Jackson gets the board.
Playing in his first All-Star game.
Randy Jackson has been one of the standout players of the Chicago team this year.
Understand hack.
One and two counts.
Keegan checks his time.
Wants to read it again.
And Jackson steps out to break the spell.
Dan Hack, you know, moved up from Los Angeles to take over his manager of the Cubs this year.
The one and two pitch is ball two, inside.
Desmond.
Ball two and strike two.
The right hander warming up for the National League at the present time is Dean Conway.
Jackson has posted a batting average of three tenths with the Cubs this season.
The pitch is ball three, high on our side and the string is out.
World count of three and two on the batter.
Leo DeRoship having it up at third base.
American League leading by a score of eight to seven.
When the first half of the eighth inning with nobody on, Jackson leading off for count three two.
All right, the payoff pitch. The difference on a ground ball pass for pitchers of the shortstop.
Thumbel's momentary by Carrick.
Can he pitch it up?
That's what it first is inside.
A beautiful recovery on the part of Keiko Carrick's down.
He was just on the verge of being charged with the first error of the ball game.
But he recovered his own fumble and got Jackson at first on a wicked throw.
That brings up Willie Mays, number 24. His first time up the flat to left field.
Ted went him stacking up to the fence to make the catch.
He's a fine save by Harris-Gall.
Keegan's first pitch to Mays is ball one outside.
Eight to seven, the American League lead.
Seven, 24, hit, 15 runs.
The ball goes up to the left field.
The ball goes up to the right field.
The ball goes up to the left field.
Seven, 24, hit, 15 runs.
Our field is around Jordan, Mays.
The next pitch is fouled back to the screen for strike one.
Ball one and strike one, McCount.
Back too long ago, they were drawing a foul out.
Green, Willie Mays and Jim Schneider.
Arguments, weights, throw and con,
but it's wonderful that both of them could make the All-Star team
and both playing at the same time.
Mays and Schneider, Jim Schneider in right.
One and one to count, with one out.
The pitch is thrown on and fouled down the right field line,
curving back into the stands out of play.
Back two.
On deck is Roy Campanella.
The American League looking for its first victory since 1949.
The National League has taken four in a row.
Our fielders are deep on the round-trip left.
Keegan locks into the wind up.
The pitch is thrown on, there's a line drive in the center field.
Mandel coming in, but he can't get it.
Takes it on the hop.
A sizzling line drive in the center for Mays.
The All-Star hit.
And it brings up number 39, Roy Campanella.
Well, there have been 25 hits.
Both teams are just one short of tying.
The All-Star record of 26 hits made in 1937.
Each team has 13 hits.
Should Campanella come through,
that would tie that record in identical pressure.
The American League has 13, the National 12.
Mays on first with one out.
Throw the first by Keegan.
He works the first quite often with a base runner aboard.
Mays is very fast and Keegan wants to keep an eye on him.
He represents the tying run with one out.
Never throw the first.
Rosen had to reach for it.
And he was cut in for distance.
Roy, if he had hit that,
wouldn't he would have landed right out in Lake Erie.
Strike one to Camp.
No question of what he wanted.
Mays leads away.
In position, Keegan,
and the All-Star.
And he's got a good one.
Mays leads away.
In position, Keegan checks.
The pitch is too low for ball one.
He had a strike there, but the umpire calls him.
And those men in blue do a wonderful job.
Umpires are the American and National League.
They are the All-Stars.
Just as the players are.
Representing the various teams, they represent the commissioners.
Throw the first by Keegan.
Mays is back.
The coach of baseball, no ice to see that though.
They'll go it away, maybe.
The next pitch, Campanella swings with misses.
Strike two.
Now Keegan's ahead of him.
Account ball one and strike two.
On deck number 25, Dutch Bell.
Only one out.
Campanella though is hoping to stay alive with a basic.
American League leading 8-7 over the National League.
Mays on first with one out.
The pitch is swinging to miss.
He struck him out.
He down.
Well, that is the second strikeout for American League pitchers.
One by Porterfield and one by Keegan.
Dutch Bell is the pincer.
Number 25.
Dutch Bell batting for Marv Grissom.
He is the number three hitter in the National League.
Batting average 3-43.
Ailing from Cincinnati.
Cincinnati red legs under birdie feathers.
Two outs.
Run around first.
The left hand batter swings on the first pitch
and piles it down the left field line.
Into the seat.
Out of play.
Strike one.
Al Vera walks out toward the pitchers mound.
Wants to talk to Bob Keegan.
Every time you pick up a sports page,
you read where the Cincinnati red legs have been
pounding the ball out of the lot.
Birdie Tebbets taking over as manager of the Cincinnati
ball club.
After turning in a fine job at Indianapolis in the American
Association last year, has been doing a great job
with that ball club.
And they gave Paul one of baseball's fine personalities.
Woody Mays is the base runner with two outs.
He represents the tying run.
To the first by Keegan.
To Rosen.
Runner is back safely.
On deck is red shamedies.
He'll come up if Bell can stay alive.
Bell, the left hand batter, hitting for the pitcher,
Marv Grissom.
Keegan's imposition with a stretch.
Touch the runner.
The pitch is high and inside.
Ball one. Even up. One and one.
Gene Conley continues to warm up down in the
both ends for the National Lakers.
He's the right hander.
Ailes from the Milwaukee Braves.
American League leading by a score of 8-7.
Upfield is around toward right for Bell.
Up for his first time.
And also back on the track.
Mays is ready to travel.
He'll go with the crack of the bat.
There's a throw to first. The fast one by Keegan.
He's the right hander.
One and one to count.
Thank you, Mannell.
Keegan right center.
Bell, left hand batter, crunched over the plate.
The pitch is 100. There's a foul ball going
to the right center.
Mannell is reaching back to the pitch.
And Bell for home run.
That foul pinching for Marv Gissom
has put the National League ahead.
By a score of 9-8.
A home run over the right center field fence.
With William Mays aboard.
And the National League leads 9-8.
This is now Marv Gissom's ball game.
And they have tied the record of 26-6
by both teams.
Red Sheen-Dies to the batter.
Keegan's first pitch.
The inside's gone away side.
Bell put a lot of work on that ball.
It's a throw.
Over Mannell's head.
Just over the fence at the 3-80 mark.
That's the second pinch hitter that has come through.
For Walt Olson,
the National League manager.
Here's the windup. The pitch is fouled back into the upper deck.
It's one of the field girders.
The counter strike too.
Red Sheen-Dies.
The St. Louis Cardinals.
Flashy second baseman.
Yes, we've really seen it today.
And we wish each and every one of you
fans who helped pick this all start
team to be here.
The next pitch is from under there.
It's a top line to Shrop-Right field.
Now the props are racing back.
Miniminoso's coming in and it's Minoso.
He's got the ball, he's coming in with it.
That's going to be a tough one for the official
star to call. It is the first error of the ball game.
It looks like Nelson Fox was going to make me catch.
But Nellie at the last second was called off.
Miniminoso kept shouting, I've got it.
And he couldn't handle it.
He hit his glove and dropped to the ground.
It's a two base error for Miniminoso.
The first error of the game.
Right now, that's part 10 seconds
for station identification.
This is the Mitzuo broadcasting system.
WGM, the Chicago Tribune Station,
serving the middle west.
Now back at Cleveland's huge municipal stadium.
We're in the first half of the eighth inning
leading by a score of 9 to 8.
Alvin Dark is up with two outs.
Chained each on second.
The first pitch is fouled back into the stands out of play.
We have really seen baseball here this afternoon.
Almost 69,000 fans filling in on today's
game. 17 runs, 26 hits.
There's a runner on second with two out here on the top of the eighth.
Keegan-Pitchers, the dark takes track two of basketball.
That's about me high.
Left hand at Dean Stone from the Washington Senators.
Warming up down in the American League World Cup.
Dean Conley has finished his warm-up draws
and is ready for action in the last of the eighth.
He will attempt to preserve this game for Mark Bissom.
Hotfielders are around to have met the dark.
The pitch is swung on the boundary down the third baseline.
Stay still and Alvin attempts to make a play on Chained East
when he plays the third.
Alvin attempted to make a play on Chained East
at third. He would not have been able to get dark at first base.
He realized that.
The ball is a high-bounder and Boone had to wait for it to come down.
It's an infield hit for Alvin Dark giving him his first hit
for today's game.
Runner's on first and third.
And here comes Casey Fingal.
Out of the American League dugout, back to first.
The batter is Duke Schneider.
The National League leading by a score of 9-8.
That is the 14th hit for the National League.
Well, Alvin looks like Casey Fingal really has himself a problem right now.
That's right. He was going pretty well with Quarterfield and Derrick Bob
and got Nelly Parkson out of hit form.
Now he's going to have to take Keegan out of the ballgame.
And the left hander, he's going down the bullpen
as you've already told the folks,
as he isn't just about ready to come into this ballgame.
And as it now stands, it's Keegan's ballgame to lose.
It's Mark Bissom's ballgame to win.
And of course, as you'll also have already told the folks down in the bullpen,
that's Gene Conley, as he isn't ready now, to take over for the National League.
So Casey Fingal is taking out Bob Kagan and bringing on Dean Stone.
There in the eighth inning, two-thirds of the eighth inning is all that Keegan is able to fetch
and Casey Fingal is going to take him out of there.
So that's quite a ballgame cooking along here.
9-8 affair.
In favor of the National League in the game of C-Sought back and forth
we're going to give a big hand to the delight of all the fans that have come in here
to the Lakebunch Stadium equipment.
And we're sincerely sorry, as we said earlier in the broadcast,
that Chris Steger isn't here with us.
The old gray eagle won one of the five stars of yesteryear
and now with the Cleveland organization suffered a mild heart attack yesterday
and is resting in the hospital very comfortably today.
And we sincerely hope that he's enjoying the ballgame
and we're, well, God, we'd just like to see Chris allow these real great guys.
Big Al, I'm awfully happy you brought that up
because I know that Chris would love to be here today.
I don't believe he's ever missed one.
And he loves baseball.
Of course, as you know, and we all know, he was one of the game's great players.
Speaking of people unable to be here, as you know, Ed Burns,
the sports writer with the Chicago Tribune,
is still in the hospital up in Boston.
Ed is probably wishing you a well.
He's one of the other writers and the fans covering today's ballgame.
We sure hope that he's listening in to it and feeling much better.
I'll bet you about that he's got his ear glued to that radio up there in Boston.
He's quite a sportsman. I know Carl Conwell, he has somewhere out there.
We got a kick out of Kenny Smith, a New York writer.
And he has been carrying messages from all of the fellas.
He had it for the All-Star game to spin it up to big head.
We hope he's going to be all right soon.
My team's stone is the new pitcher for the American League.
The left hander who has turned in a good record for Bucky Harris,
the manager of the Washington Center this year.
Stone has won seven and lost two.
This is his first mania in the major leagues.
Casey Stingle knows from watching this fella that he can do all right.
He's whipped the Yankees a couple of times.
Left hand pitcher against left hand batter. Duke Snedder steps in.
Runners on first and third with two outs.
First pitch is two high ball one.
Ball on the count.
We're still in the first half of the eighth inning with a national league leading.
Biascorp nine to eight.
Seldon comes up with a stretch. It's all lanky boy.
Pitch is a fast ball. We're going to miss with strike one.
Seldon was cut in for a little distance there. The pitch was up around the shoulders.
Sennersing to watch the various sluggers to see what they like.
Larry Dolby for instance. The Indians great centerfielder loves a pitch low.
Snedder is trying to seal home. The post is coming in and he's out.
The team's attempting to seal home.
And now Calvin Carrick, Neo de Rocha and Sonny Cama arguing with Stone Ball.
All that Neo de Rocha is really mad. Look at him go.
The manager of the New York Giants is picked up a hand full of dirt.
He throws it away.
Bill Stewart very calmly goes about his business of pressing off home plate.
And now Charlie Grimm gets into the act.
And there are two of the greatest characters in baseball.
Charlie Grimm and Neo de Rocha.
And the Indian star goes out as he attempts to seal home.
Ron Fair.
It's it to the catch of Cabernola. Cabernola was pulled over and he was out.
And they score going into the last half of the eighth inning.
National League nine. American League eight.
Slugging Hang-Bauer of the New York Yankees.
There's the biggest nine out of ten big liggers here with Gillette Racers.
That's an awfully high percentage.
And there's an awful lot of Gillette Racers sold.
And the United States alone bought over nine million last year.
They went to brand new shavers.
To older men who retired their trusty three-piece Gillette.
For today's hand here, one-piece model.
And to men who switch from other types of Racers.
But can't give a clean looking, refreshing shave.
Which have put Gillette so far out front.
It's tough to name a runner up.
Gillette steadily increasing popularity.
Points up one thing.
The way to get invigorating shaves is last for hours and hours.
It's with shaving cream and the one-piece Gillette Racers.
So as for Gillette's super speed racers.
Complete with Blue-Braid dispenser and Cyrene travel case.
One dollar.
We are the race.
And now going into the last half of the eighth inning.
We have some changes here.
Three of these totals.
They are in the eighth inning for the National League.
Two runs on three hits.
And one man was left.
There was also one error.
The only error of the ball game that's far.
And now the changes.
Smoky Burgess number 21 is catching for the National League.
Gene Conley is the pitcher.
Number 22.
And the first base is number 14 Gill Hodges.
And number 19 is Markie Griffin Dodgers.
Smoky Burgess from the Philadelphia field.
Catching.
Gene Conley right-hand there from the Milwaukee Braves.
Gill Hodges.
Griffin Dodgers at first.
Conley has won seven and lost four.
A big right-hander.
Into the windup pitcher to Manoso.
One outside.
is one of the tallest men in baseball.
And in Manoso the batter, finally had a fine season last year with Toledo, moving him up
to the current club this year.
There is ball two in shot and low to Manoso.
Ball to Nostrax.
Manoso is two singles in a walk and four trips to the plate.
The National League leading by a score of 9-8.
And a real pillar here at Breven for the 1954 All-Star Games.
Outfield around Gillette.
The next pitch is a strike call to the outside corner.
Manoso attempted to make a forward target,
moved up into the batter's box,
just one of it.
The rest of the lineup is for the same.
With hard-dissip first base,
new batter, connor pitching and Virgis catch.
Fast half of the eighth.
The two-one pitch, one on a grand ball to be shot down.
That's it.
The first and Manoso.
The speed merchant is out.
A fine play by Alvin Dahl.
Very pretty play.
One gone in the last of the eighth.
They're getting a 10-fitter, number 14, Larry Dahlby.
That in for Team Stone.
Larry Dahlby.
They're sure wondering why he's batting for Stone.
Stone was put in the number two spot when Fox came in.
The play second base and play for Bobby Abelo.
First pitch to Dahlby,
the ball went high and outside.
Dahlby leads the Cleveland Indians
and runs batted in this year.
And also in home run for the total of 14.
One out, nobody on.
Next pitch, he swings any misses.
Had a good ripple.
Ball one and strike one.
Virgil trucks warming up for the American Lakers.
Dahlby crouched over the plate.
Finally pitches, Dahlby swings and misses, strike two.
One out, nobody on.
They play Dahlby, stricter to pull.
Second baseman, back on the edge of the outfield grass,
midway between first and second.
Center field of maze, well over into right center.
Here's the wind up.
The pitch is following,
the first one to drive, one to the left center, and that ball is over the crack for home run.

Howl Rosen is it two, Ray Brun is it one.

First pitch to Burrow, he fouls it down, they let's be aligned.
Strike one.
I'll always remember the words of George Twinkle-Dowe Southkirk when he was managing the Newark Bears in 1946.
He said, this little fella, Yogi Burrow, will swing at bad pitches and hit him better and farther than anybody.
The next pitch is a strike, a beauty over the outside corner.
Remember those days that the stadium there in Newark, the Newark Bears, that's such a great team.
Yogi had hit him two feet over his head, lying him over the fence for home runs.
On to count, with a run around first, one out, Mantle leads off, a pitch for one high and outside.
Mokie Burr just the catcher, had to go up for it.
And that's how Rosen.

Another star of National League play of the past, who would like to have been here and had planned for it, but couldn't make it.
There's a former giant and card player, Big Hank Lieber, out in Arizona.
So many of you would like to be here.
The next pitch is swung on and fouled, on to the left of the line, off to the plate. Nobody would be able to get to it.
They're playing Burr, well around to right.
Jackson started to run for it, so did Muzio, but no chance for it.
The count remains, ball one and strike two.
Burr just heads back into the batter's box, holding that bat right down on the very end.
One and two, one out.
The pitch is swung on, there's a pop-fly going to the shot-left center.
Mokie's racing back, still going back and can't get through it.
Muzio's not reached it.
Ten minutes for a base hit.
And it'll move to second. Al Rosen is coming up.

The next pitch, ball two, Ryan inside.

Rosen started off as if he was going to care American League pitching apart this year,
but then came up with an injury to his, on his right hand.
That's just too high.
Ball three, three and no count.
Connelly, your fans have chose the All-Star teams of 1954.
Were you the manager?
One out, Runner's on first and second.
Would you let him go?
I hope for that walk.
Move that runner over to third.
Where is the end scoring position on a five-all?
Ray Brun is on deck.
We're in the last half of the eighth inning with a score tied, nine and nine.
Willie May is pulled over into left center.
The pitch is a strike.
Right in there, the old catch-up pitch.

Marty Marion shouting out to Mantle.
The pitch is strike two and the string is out.
Low cat of three and two.
And now it blows down to that battle between pitcher and batter.
After all, there's the basis of the great game of baseball.
The never-ending battle that goes on between pitcher and batter.
Here's the stretch.
The payoff pitch, the runners are moving at ball four.
In the start and low, he walked in.
The bases are loaded.
Mantle moves to third.
Werner takes over at second.
And Ray Brun was due, but we're getting a pinch at it.
And here comes Walt Austin out of the National League dugout,
taking the slow, long walk out to the pitchers mound.
And Mickey Brennan is coming out of the American League dugout
as a pinch at it for Brun.
How have you ever seen such an opportunity for opposing managers
to work with the strategy?
Absolutely right, Jimmy.
I haven't seen the opportunity presented before,
but it certainly has been presented here this afternoon.
And we've had two pinch hit home runs.
We have a record of pinch hit home runs in the off-car play.
But here's a guy coming up to play to contract that long a chore.
It's Mickey Brennan who is coming up as you said the bat for Ray Brun.
Now, there's going to be a check show on our part,
but wouldn't it be surprised that Mickey Brennan would stay right in there
to play at first base and then move Flip Rosen over from first over to third
because after all, Rosen has been playing third, hasn't he?
Now we're going to have Luke Carlisken who's going to come on
to take over on the mound for the National League and read Gene Connelly.
So you'll have some changes there, Jimmy.
Yes, Al.
And as you say, more than likely, Stingel will have Brennan play first base
and Rosen will move to third base.
He was chosen as the first baseman for the Emerging League All-Star
game by the fans of America.
A fine tribute to a fine ball player
who last year was voted the most valuable player in the Emerging League
by unanimous vote on the part of the baseball writers.
Then he was called upon to switch to first base.
He did so for a while,
and now he's moved back to his position at third.
In the regular season, he'll probably go to the hot corner in the ninth inning.
Carl Erskine, number 17, right hander from the Brooklyn Badgers,
is the new pitcher.
Carl Erskine, Carl Erskine, Carl Erskine,
Erskine and Smokey Burgess, the catcher.
Avalo conference out there.
It seems sort of strange to see these fellas in different uniforms
gathering for conferences, working out strategy,
plan of attack, plan of defense.
And during the regular season, they battle one another through the mail.
Many of them personal friends.
But as so many of the great competitors will tell you,
once the bell rings and that ball game gets underway,
you're wearing a different uniform, we're not friends.
Carl Erskine, he has won 10 and lost 8 as a member of the Dodgers this year.
He comes into a very difficult situation,
with the bases loaded and only one out.
Taking his warm-up doors, and Mickey Brennan, wearing number 3,
from the Washington Senators, stands off to the first base out of the plate,
trying to get a lion on this fella.
A ball game jammed with excitement.
Beautiful defensive play, fine catches, great base running.
And as most fans like it, a lot of scoring and a lot of pitting.
Nice purchase again goes out to the mound for a final conference with Carl Erskine.

Then gave up a home run to Larry Doughy, the top of the ball game.

The bases loaded, the infield is drawn in, they'll attempt to close the door on this runner.
They wind up, and the first pitch to Brennan is Bar one high and out-side.
Carl Erskine, the fine right-hander from the Brooklyn Dodgers,
in a tough spot, the bases loaded, Mandel, passman on third.
The pitch is ball two, low into the dirt.
Ball two, no strikes, the score is tied.
The American League right now has the upper hand, with only one out, and the bases loaded.
Mandel, Barra and Rosen are ready to rise.
Erskine into the wind up, the turn-up thing pitch is fouled off to the right.
He came on with a change-up, Brennan just got a piece of it on the end of his bat.
Brennan was the American League batting champion of last year.
Always dangerous to ever a threat after the plate.
As fancy a fielding first base, as many of you'll find in the game, anywhere.
Currently batting 309 in the American League campaign.
After a bad start, he's come along very fast to pick it up to 309 at the All-Star Low.
Here's the wind up for the turn-1 pitch, chase, swing and miss.
Strike two, Erskine 30-morten under the hand.
Ball two, strike two.
The next pitch fouled back to the screen.
Brennan got a piece of it to stay alive.
At tense moment, Erskine is really barring down.
On deck is Nelson Fox.
The second baseman is the only member of the end field not in tight.
He's playing back in case of a ground ball, might be good for a double play.
It's a good pitch, just low into the dirt, almost got away from the catcher.
Hit the umpire's foot and roll down, ball three.
Hit the umpire and that's a good save for Erskine and Smokey Burgess.
Three and two, the swing is out, full count on the batter.
That was a good break for Erskine. That pitch was low into the dirt.

Three and two count. Here's the wind up.
The runner's going to go down.
One out, the pitch, like three called a pad for a f**king outside corner.
Brennan is called out on strike.
Erskine really sneaks the pass and by. Two gone.
Well, you can always say that was a great sent there but there's still one more death to come.
Nelson Fox. Fox struck out his first time up.
Right now he has a chance to put the American League in the sun but the fireball will not do it anymore.
It will have to be a base hit.
Ball three. Hit the umpire and that's a good save for Erskine and Smokey Burgess.

Big Snider. The gadget outside, straight away in right.
And fairly deep. Erskine comes into action.
The pitch is thrown on the vessel. The loop is going on the second base.
And South
Leslie and Veller goes again.
A little looping foul ball that rejects out of the reach of Alvin D'Arts.
Race for it. All more sector.
Hunder looks for Nelson Fox. And he'll run some home.
Mandel and Veller scores. Rosen stops at second.
And Fox is on first.
That was...
The two lines are tied to Gene Connelly.
And of course they go to the center on the winning side to Bob Keegan.
Excuse me, how do you like?
Gene Stone, the left hander, with the last pitcher in there.
Schalers' job is up now. Erskine's first pitch down to car one high.
It's for American League, 11 National League nine.

Here's the stretch by Erskine.

They have 17 hits.
Four teams for the National League.

He has one hit.

And because you need to stretch back to the run-on second,
pitches are strike. That on high right over.
Go count of three and two.
Now with two outs, the runners will be moving with a pitch.
The American League is leading. Now it's called 11 to 9.
Erskine is ready.
They've had the runners, the pitches went on and tapped up to the left half of the infield.
Calvin Dahl.
The hundredth, saving his hours, he missed the catch.
The outtie retires the side.
But the damage has been done.
Whereas the American League has come home with three runs.
On a total of four hits.
One base on balls and two men left.
The score at the end of the evening,
American League 11, National League 9.
For fast, easy shaves, you can count on to make you look good and feel refreshed.
Offer new appeared with saving theme and skim it off with today's one-feet collect racers.
Now while we're waiting for the National Leagueers to come up in the ninth inning,
let's pause ten seconds for station identification.
This is the ritual broadcasting system.
WTM, Chicago Tribune Station, serving the middle west.
And I'll pass back that Manipulate 30 here in Cleveland, Ohio.

New York field.
The next pitch, ball two, a sad and a good low.

It's a nothing pitch, well beauty right over at St. Paul's.
Big time was on, the national league needs to get men on the base.

Here's the wind up.

Going through a few of the addicts that have made them famous.
On the coaching path, the Rocha starts back and forth.

The 11-9 ball game with the American League on top.
Dutch goes to the Larson bag, the outfield is a deep and well around to right.
The old saying, it's so cute, the ball game is never over until the last man is out.
The wind up to the playoff pitch delivered before four, up flat and roll.
The ball is there, working for a while.
Number 33, Bob Spurley is warming up for the American Ligas and the first baseline.
He suffered an injury during getting faster today when he ran into the fence in the outfield
and suffered a minor cut near his tire.
It's supposed to be all right. It's one of those little unfortunate incidents.
Then the injury gets down to the man, Brad and Jerry of the Northup and Corvina.
He has two hits out of four tips to the plate.
Nobody else in the first half of the ninth inning, Luke Schneider, the base runner.
First pitch to five, there's a foul far down the right field line.
Here's Joe, came out plugging. He ripped one a cut through mile into the feet of the foul.

That brings up Gil Hudson, right hand batting, first base.
New Deal's landing out, turning on the system.
There's a lucky place for Brennan at the American Lig, that the ball drops dead as it hit his glove, and his arm, arms up his arm.
That had rolled away from him, and he didn't, and New Deal might have been able to beat it out.
One away is Gil Hudson, some drop.

And the final score of a truly great and thrilling ball game here at Cleveland's Minerva Stadium.
The American League, winning by a score of 11-9.
The American League had 11 runs, 17 hits, one parry.
The National League, 9 runs, 14 hits, no errors.
In just a moment we'll review the highlights of the game for you.
So I'm here at Cleveland's here at the Minerva Stadium.

And the fans, almost 59,000 of them are making their way out from the ball slide.
But they certainly seen it, Philly, here this afternoon. A total of 21, 31 hits, and a dozen pitches.

The final score once again, 11-9 in favor of the American League over the National League as they get back to winning ways.
Good home run structure this afternoon, four by the American League, and two by the National League.
The home run hitters, Al Rosin had a pair, and Govind five runs this afternoon for the American League.
Govind had a pincher home run, and Ray Boone had a home run for the American Lakers in the third inning.
As far as home runs and concerns hit, for just the hit one from the National League in the fifth and just fell a pincher home run.
For the National League in the eighth inning.
So home runs played a vital part as was expected here in this ball game.
And the final score was 11-17 hits one, and nine men left on here for the American League.
And for the National League, nine runs, 14 hits, no errors, five men left on.
There were a parade of six pitcher-jewers by Walter Austin and the National League this afternoon,
with Connelly coming on to pick one third of the inning being the loser.
And the first man losing his first time in the very end of the match in the outside class.
As far as the American League is concerned, the oddity is that another rookie won the ball game this afternoon,
deemed the star of the Washington Nationals.
So two rookies figured in the one and last column, as far as the records are concerned for this day,
the 21st annual playing of the mid-summer classic baseball all-star game.
It was a fine game all the way, everyone here particularly enjoying what they saw on the field this afternoon.
