The New York Mets faced the Cincinnati Reds at Crosley Field for a Saturday afternoon game
on July 21, 1962. This was the Mets' inaugural season and they were managed by Casey Stengel.
In his 12 years with the Yankees, Casey only lost more than 62 games once. The Mets were
halfway through the season and they already had 68 losses.
The Reds had lost to the Yankees in the World Series in 1961 and were playing well in 1962.
They entered this game with a 51-41 record but were 10 games back from the league leading
Dodgers and Giants. They were managed by Fred Hutchinson in his fourth season in Cincinnati.
This audio recording is from the New York Radio broadcast featuring an Alters Ralph Kiner,
Bob Murphy and Lindsay Nelson.
Right now the ace right-hander of the Cincinnati Reds, Bob Perkey, warming up and warming up
for the New York Mets, the young right-hander from Washington, D.C., Craig Anderson. Right
now would be a good time for you to check up on your supply of fine-cold rain gold.
Rain gold extra dry. Yes, sir, put some rain gold on ice. It can add a lot to your enjoyment
of the game. Now, here is a beer with a clean, clear taste, brisk and bright all the way
through. Rain gold is beer as beer should taste. Dry tells you why. And say, right now
would be a good time to light up a viceroys. Viceroy's not too strong, not too light. Viceroy's
got the tasteless right. That's right.
Right now Casey Stingle moving out to home plate to meet with Reggie Otero of Cincinnati
and the three umpires. So here are the lineups and batting orders for today's game. For

Cigarettes. The last of the nights the score of three to old. The bases were loaded and
wouldn't you know two men fans they missed by a mile then Casey stepped up to the plate
with a smile. Now Casey smokes filters but knows it's true that even some filters are
rough on you while other brands in the filter crowd are just like smoking a warmed over
cloud. But Vice Roy tastes the way you'd like a filter cigarette to taste. Not too strong.
Not too light. Vice Roy's got the taste that's right. That's right. Well Casey won the game
with as long as Tomer yet the manager's daughter said. And the cigarette. Today they're a family
with a girl and a boy and it all began with a vice Roy. That's right. So Casey wants you
to know when you'll take all bets if you smoke all seven filters cigarettes you'll find some
too strong. Some too light. But Vice Roy's got. The taste that's right. That's right.
That's right. That's right. The umpires for today's game here in Cincinnati working the
plate will be big Stan Landis at first base. Benny Smith and a third. Just the bag. Right
now here are the reds taking the field. Just a moment we'll have the singing of our national
anthem by Clyde Williams. Breeze blowing hard from left toward right the prevailing direction.
You please see harmless appearing cumulus clouds dotting here and there on a hot summer
day and right now ladies and gentlemen our national anthem.
Yeah.
Now with the playing of our national anthem. Just about set for action here at Grodzley
Field and other games. They have a real slugfest underway at Forbes Field today for Lando
Sopeta and Tom Haller at Pomeran the third inning both of the bases empty. The Giants have
been knocked out of the box and now lead the Pirates five to four while hitting in the top half of the
third inning. Al McPheon has been knocked out of the box and Jack LaMabe has taken over for
Danny Murthaus Pittsburgh Pirates. They had thirty seven thousand in Pittsburgh last night all the
place will hold the biggest crowd in two years as the Giants grab the opener of that important
series and knocked the Pirates three and a half games off the pace. The Dodgers beat the Cubs
in the first half of the afternoon eight to two. The Giants winning last night to stay a game
behind the first place Los Angeles Dodgers. Billy O'Dell is pitching today for San Francisco
the warmups in Chicago Don Drysdale the winningest pitcher in the major leagues going for the
Dodgers against Dick Ellsworth of the Cubs. The Cardinals and Cole forty five will play a
day night double header a cold quarter affair. Houston won the game last night Milwaukee
Philadelphia after an inning and a half in the American League Washington won the Yankees one
Rudolph against Terry White Sox and Red Sox no score at the end of one Bizarro against
Conley Fisher against Bonacosky Baltimore at Minnesota Detroit at Kansas City tonight and
Cleveland at Los Angeles tonight. That's the rundown of the action elsewhere and for the
rundown of the action right here as we get set for the first pitch of the afternoon here is
Ralph Kiner. OK Bob Bob Perkey pitching against Richie Asperin Perky 14 and three in the year
93 and 84 lifetime and one and all against the New York Mets and the first pitch of the game
filed off down the left field side for strike one Richie Asperin batting 294 six home runs
and 23 runs batted in. This is Perky's 22nd appearance of the year and all of them have been
as a starting pitcher. Big right hander from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania six foot two hundred
and ninety nine pounds and the one strike pitch. Knuckleball inside and low ball one one ball one
strike. Perky primarily a slider pitcher and a knuckleball pitcher. His two best pitches he
does so good fastball not blazing fast as good knowledge is a tremendous competitor started
by a Pittsburgh part organization. Here's the wind up and the one one pitch to Richie and this
one's fouled straight back for strike two and Eddie Casco the third baseman now moving back to
a fairly average position at third base he was playing in against Asperin defending against
the but I feel straight away in center and right and the left fielder Jerry Lynch playing
over by the left field line. It's Gordy Coleman at first base Don Blasen game at second the
first stop Leo Cardenas the third baseman Eddie Casco. Here's the wind up in the one two pitch
and knuckleball again fouled away the count will stay at one ball and two strikes in the
outfield Jerry Lynch in left field. Beta Pinson in center and Frank Robinson the National
League's most valuable player in nineteen sixty one in right field as Bob told you a beautiful
day for baseball when going towards right field aiding the left handed batters again the one
two pitch inside ball to three sixty six down the right field line three sixty and straight away
right field a little bit closer there good hitting target three ninety just the shade towards
right field in center three eighty three in left center and three twenty eight down the left
field line. All storm runs hit by Cincinnati player hit by Ted Kuzuski in one season he hit
forty nine. Now the two two pitch it's hit through the middle in the air coming on now as
Beta Pinson he can't get to it a base it he takes it on the first bounce and the Mets now
have the first base hit of the game. Richie Asperin has the lead off man and it brings up
Felix Mantia. So Richie who was one for three in last night's game a game won by the Red
Three to one fine pitching by both Joy J and Craig and should say Roger Craig and Felix
Mantia stepping in Felix had one hit four times up in the opener of this four game series
last night batting two sixty eight playing shortstop batting right handed and the first
pitch is popped up in the infield Tom Blassen game at second base now moving back towards
the grass after he moved in the wind taking the ball out and he made the catch when going
fairly strongly in the right field could be a big factor in the game one out now on the
batters Jean Woodley well Jean last night playing his first game officially in this park at
two straight hits off Joy J and that was the first time that he had batted against J
International League game and two for four for the night but he made two outstanding
catches in the outfield to help Roger Craig keep the score down Jean batting at two thirty
five one home run thirteen runs batted in and now time calls home plate umpire stay on land
this is the first base finish meant the second base umpire Dusty Boggess throw the first base
and back plenty of time now the first pitch to Woodley hit on the ground to the second
baseman a chance for two they get the first one at second base over the first base in
time a double play four to sixty three to retire the side in the inning for the Mets
one no runs on one hit there were no errors and no one left the runner erased in the double
play in the score at the end of the top half of the first the Mets nothing in the
Cincinnati Reds coming to bat and now a word from Vice Royce cigarettes I have this band
and it really swings that we have this singer who really sings we just finished playing
for a nice bunch of folks when I discovered I was out of smoke someone handed me an
unfiltered back too harsh for me I gave it back and builders they either taste strong
or too thin them a cute little singer said where you been
by Troy taste the way you'd like a filter cigarette to take not too strong not too
light by Troy's guy that taste that's right that's right now the singer still with
me but I got a new van it's round and it's gold and it's on my left hand that's right
so now I know and I'll take all bets if you smoke all seven builder cigarettes you'll
find some too strong some too light but by Troy's guy that taste that's right that's
right that's right that's right that's right
bottom half of the first inning and the Reds coming to bat for the first time they
lead the Mets in the season series four to nothing winning last night's game three
to one and the leadoff man against Greg Anderson will be Eddie Castor the third
baseman Anderson with a record of three wins and nine losses for the year he has a
lifetime major league record of seven and twelve and he has all in one against the
Cincinnati Reds he's making his sixth start in twenty ninths appearance of the season
he lost to the Reds on April twenty fourth seven to three worked one inning in that
one and the first pitch of the game to Casco is down low ball one
Greg Anderson from Washington DC six foot two two hundred and fifteen pounds a right
hander and he comes back low again for ball to Casco batting two fifty six one oh run
and sixteen runs battered in yet one hit last night and four times up it was a but
batting from the right hand side where's glasses now the wind up in the two oh pitch
this one's through their strike one call Mark Roomba third base Johnny Neal at
the second man Tia Felix man Tia short and Rod Guineal at third catchers Chris
Canazaro and he gives a sign for the two one pitch it's on the corner a slider for
strike two two balls and two strikes to Eddie Casco leadoff man for the Reds no
score in the game Frank Thomas playing left field Richie Asperin in center Richie made
a couple of good plays last night and Jim Woodling in right there's the wind up in
the game and he's down low for ball three full count now Casco leads off on deck
batter Don Blasping game he'll be followed by a Vada Benson second day of a ten day
trip all games to be played and the three to pitch misses low ball four so Craig
Man puts him on by a lot and it brings up time watching him a left handed batter
I'm betting two seventy one home run nineteen runs battered in one for three last
night he also beat out a bun little fella originally started out in the St. Louis
football organization as a famous father in law there's a throat of first base but
Casco back by the name of Walker Cooper quick throw the first chasing Casco back
Casco wearing tape and a patting on his left hand he has a bruise on that hand now
the stretch position to look at first base and shake it ahead and to the play it's
a right call the fastball through right on the inside corner there at crowds and
field the scoreboard located in left center field indicates the batting averages of
all the players big high scoreboard any ball off the scoreboard in place sort of
like the scoreboard and right center field in Abbots field about the same size and
of course this one located in left center instead of right center throw the first
facing Casco back ballpark dimensions here fairly small not a one strike pitch and
this one's inside a throw the first base by Canada's arrow but the runner back
safely count now one ball one strike Chris with a good arm and he likes to throw
the ball a national a great still mighty tight Dodgers leading by one game over the
Giants Pittsburgh and losing to the Giants last night now back three and a half and
third place there goes the runner and the pitches on the ground they'll have to go
to first base Charlie Neal takes it throws the first base and moving over on the hit
and run play Eddie Casco so by moving the man along Freddie Hutchison the manager
the cardinal stays out of the double play and it brings up a defensive with a man
in scoring position a debate about a two eighty nine seventeen home runs and fifty
seven runs batted in last night a single and a run batted in one for four
Craig Anderson into the stretch position was one out and the pitch defences the
curve ball it's low inside ball one and one of the fastest runners in baseball so
the infield short enough just to try to do to be able to make a play at first base
there's a pitch back and this is a strike call Vincent check this swing with the
pitch cut the inside corner one ball one strike
last year Princeton loved the club and hitting with three forty three now the
one one pitch inside and low ball two moving pincin out of the batter's box two
balls and one strike every time pincin hits the home run here beta pincin that is
they play show me the beta go home to one pitch inside again and it's ball three
three balls and one strike the on deck batter is Jerry Lynch so Craig Anderson
falling behind now in his life in a trouble with a runner at second base and
one out got a good ladies day crowd on hand here for the single game in the
game on Saturday double head of the mall coming your way in New York at one fifty
five now the three one pitch inside in the dirt bouncing away from Canada zero but
holding that second base Pascal and moving on down to first base on the second
walk of the game issued by Craig Anderson here in the bottom half of the first
made up in and coming to bat Jerry Lynch Jerry batting two ninety three with six
home runs and thirty one runs batted in left handed batter last night's game one
two-fifth ball three-four he too started in the Pittsburgh Pirate Organization
there's the stretch position in the fish to Lynch inside down in the ground again
and blocked by can a cell that time a curveball and can a cell decides to walk it
back to the mound. Craig Anderson yet to give up a base it but walking to the first
base again that he is faced here in the game. Lynch last year hit three fifteen for
the National League champions but his real value coming mostly as a pinch hitter he
actually Prince defendant for the Reds against the Cubs when he hit a two run home
Bob Anderson in the eighth inning that Chicago on September twenty six now the
pitch to Jerry Lynch inside ball two so now two old count after two walks and now
Casey Stengel coming out to give the sign for left hander to warm up. Casey walking
out of the dugout had to move out about fifteen or twenty feet so he could see the
bullpen the Mets bullpen down the right field line and he's single with his left
hander getting that Ken McKenzie should get up and warm up. Here's a two old pitch
right through strike one fastball two balls and one strike. Mackenzie was up last
night in the bullpen although Roger Craig puts the fine seven hit game he was a
victim of a two run home run by Gordy Coleman Coleman Red Hot for the Cincinnati
Reds. Next pitch lying the right field that they said Casco rounding the third base
the throat of that goal there Casco will score moving over easily the third on the
single by Jerry Lynch. Beta Benson Cincinnati Reds lead it one nothing now with
one out in the bottom of the first inning. What as usual the walks proving to be
detrimental to a pitcher and also the dirt of a manager. That's Frankie Frisch used
to say oh those base on ball a man in and Frank Robinson now the batter runners at
first and third infield playing back looking for the double play. Robinson hitting
three thirty three. Fighting from the right hand side and the first pitch it out the
left field this will score a run Thomas will catch it though he does there comes
better than easily from third base throw knocked down by Camille after Camille
slip but holding that first base Jerry Lynch it's to nothing in favor of the Reds
and that run batted in for Frank Robinson on the sacrifice by the left field his
seventy six of the year. Two outs now on the batter coming on Gordy Coleman big left
handed hitting first baseman for the Cincinnati Reds he has nineteen home runs
and forty nine runs batted in and the first pitch to him is a curveball hit high
in the air the wind will take it a little bit back when that's far enough
what he does there and he makes the catch to retire the side in the inning for the
Reds two runs on only one hit there were no errors but two walks mixed in and one
man left and the score at the end of one the Reds do the match nothing what I take
a look at the scores in the national and American leg in a real slugfest as Bob
told you earlier the Pittsburgh Pirates now have taken the lead over San Francisco
at the end of three sixty five now pitching for the Giants to Miller and pitching
for Pittsburgh LaMade the beta hit is twenty first in that game that came in the
third with no one on and Tom Holler also had a home run the third inning with no
one on all saying this plane at Chicago and Drysdale is the starting pitcher for
the Dodgers he'll be pitching against Dick Ellsworth rock a home run in the
bottom half of the first giving the Cubs a one nothing lead through one inning to
play in a day night game the St. Louis Cardinals are scheduled against Houston
and also in a night game Milwaukee scheduled against Philadelphia in the
American League through three innings of play the Yankees in Washington tied up
one to one the Yankees winning yesterday three to one on a home run by Mickey
Mantle Whitey Ford picking up the win and they leave the American League by three
and a half games Rudolph pitching for Washington and Ralph Jerry going for the
Yankees Chicago the White Sox scoring two runs in the top of the third lead Boston
to do nothing through two and a half for Zorro and Connolly the pitchers there
Baltimore with one run in the first inning leading Minnesota one to nothing
in the bottom half of the first Fisher and Bonacowski the starting pitcher
Detroit scheduled at Kansas City and Cleveland at Los Angeles both under the
lights right here at the two nothing games half of the second inning
Cincinnati leading and Frank Thomas leading off for the Mets Frank batting for
the first time scored the only run of the game for the Mets last night when he hit
his sixteenth home run of the year he's hitting 294 and at 65 runs battered in
and the first pitch by Bob Burkey is low ball one Thomas started to go then
held off as the ball broke down below the knees
Burkey and Thomas former teammates with the Pittsburgh Pirates
now the right hander into the lineup and back to the plate and this one said in
the air to left field chasing Lynch back it could go all the way it is on the
screen a home run so Frank Thomas picked up a home run his second and two days
and he had not hit a home run since July 4 so Frank now back in the home run
grew Frank coming around third base now scoring and being congratulated by the
next batter Mark from very in the score now two to one in favor since then
as Thomas picks up the first run of the game for the Mets
there's a high screen above the outfield wall in left field to protect the cars
located in the parking area right behind the fence and any ball off of that screen
is a home run sort of similar to the screen at Boston there's a pitch outside
the Throneberry left handed better ball one the fence though not nearly as high as
a fence in Boston this one about 12 feet high so it's a home run off of the screen
and that ball hit upon the screen about five feet above the wall pitch back to
Throneberry outside two balls no strike Marv betting 247 with four home runs and
18 runs battered in
our perky winding and dealing in and it's a strike as Throneberry swings and misses
two balls and one strike
perky back to the plate and this one has swung on and fouled away out of play
they can't we'll go to two and two just a beautiful day for baseball right here in
Cincinnati the second game of a four game series the double header tomorrow and
then the Mets move on to Milwaukee to one game in favor Cincinnati
as perky winds up and comes back to the plate and it's on the corner strike three
call Throneberry watching now talks to home plate umpire staying landless and
then moves away first strike out by Bob Perky that's out number one here in the
top of the second and it brings up Charlie Neal
Charlie batting 252 with seven home runs and 32 runs battered in
right in the batter and the first pitch to Neal on attempt at a bump but going
foul strike one Charlie trying to catch Eddie Casco the third baseman a little
bit deeper third that's a matter to runs on one hit the Mets have one run on two
hits they out hit the Reds last night eight to seven but lost the verdict three to
one now the right hander into the wind up and back to the plate on the one strike
pitch it's a slider that's outside and high one ball one strike Reds are in fifth
place in the National League race they trail the Dodgers by 10 games but they
feel with Gene Freese coming back to the lineup very shortly now that they will be
in strong contention there's a pitch inside ball to two balls and one strike
they also have the benefit of a better schedule better than the Dodgers and the
Giants and also Pittsburgh the two one pitch by Perky inside again and it's
three and one Dodgers Pittsburgh and San Francisco all playing the majority of
their remaining games on the road Dodgers have proven to be a good road club San
Francisco not too good although not bad they're just over 500 on the road which
is enough if you can win at home and they can do that there's a three one pitch on
the corner strike two three balls and two strikes San Francisco has lost only 14
games in Candlestick Park so it's anybody's guess who will win the National
League pen it and the three two pitch by Neil hit off of the ankle of Perky Perky
over in a hurry picks it up towards the first base not in time that was a smash
right through the box and Perky got a piece of his glove on it to halfway
slow it down and it bounced off his leg to roll over towards third base about half
way from the pitchers mound to third he also over picked it up but in throwing the
first base his foot slid out a little bit he didn't get much on the ball and Neil
beat the throw it's a base hit so now the Mets with three hits of Bob Perky a man
at first base and one out in the bar batters Rod Koneal Rod betting 287 two for
four last night batting from the right hand side three home runs and eleven runs
battered in and the first pitch to Koneal is outside and low ball one dug out by
the catch of John Edwards one ball no strike deal at first base Koneal the
batter and a throw to first chasing Charlie back now Perky to the plate and
Koneal takes it to the call strike one ball one strike Perky into the stretch
and back to the plate as Neil runs and the pitchers hit in the air to right field
Neil coming back towards first base as Frank Robinson comes in and makes the
catch out number two so the hit and run play not coming off as the ball was hit
in the air and with two outs Chris Canazaro comes to bat Chris batting 226 he
has no home runs and seven runs batted in to one game Cincinnati leading top of
the second inning on your baseball yet to come right sunshine a day here in the
Ryan land and Bob Perky with his first pitch it swung on and fouled away and

to the right handed batter lying in the center field of base hit going to
second base Charlie Neil and holding there's Vincent comes up and throws over
the third finds row by Vader Vincent holding Neil at second base and now the
Mets with runners at first and second bring up the pitcher Craig Anderson
three hits in the ending off of Bob Perky total of four in the game for the Mets
and Craig Anderson the right handed batter comes into the batter's box
Craig looking for his first base hit for the Mets this year he is 0 for 13
Bob Perky who last year won 16 and lost 12 for the National League champions
to the plate with his first pitch it's a fastball and foul away strike one
Perky an all-star player this year and last comes back and the ball is hit right
back at him a comebacker he picks it up so as to Coleman for outnumbered three to
retire the side and the inning for the Mets one run on the home run by Frank
Thomas they had three hits there were no errors two men were left in the score at
the end of one and a half innings of play the Reds to the Mets one and now a word
from Vice Roy cigarette I was at the races and the track was fast and the horses
I back grand dad last I couldn't believe it but the gal next to me and just finished
picking three out of three it was plain to see I could use the advice so I offered
her a smoke just to break the ice she said I only smoke filters but some are so mild
you can hardly taste them and I just smiled I said I sure I taste the way you'd like
a filter cigarette to taste not too strong not too light nice Roy's got the taste
that's right that's right that's right now when I go to the track I win I bring
along my next to give so I want you to know and I'll take all bets if you smoke
seven filters cigarettes you'll find some too strong some to light but I was got the
taste that's right that's right that's right that's right
bottom half of the second inning the two one game here in favor of Cincinnati and a
quick look at the National League scores Pittsburgh 6 San Francisco 5 to 3 and a
half Miller and LaMade the pitchers now Chicago won the Dodgers nothing to one and
a half Drysdale and Ellsworth St. Louis schedule at Houston in the day night

Detroit at Kansas City and Cleveland at Los Angeles at night now leading off for
the Reds in the red half of the second John Edwards the catcher and the first
pitch to John is a fastball on the outside corner strike one Edwards 0 for three
last night batting 261 he was robbed of two base hits once by Gene Woodling in
right field and once by Richie Ashburn in left center and he takes low for ball one
one ball one strike Edwards with five home runs and 28 runs batted in catch by
Woodling off Edwards one of the best that Gene has ever made now the one one pitch
a leadoff swung on a missed strike to talking to Gene before this game and
kidding him about his outfield defensive feats he says that's enough for that
stop he says that running hasn't got it he made a great catch on Edwards going
away from the field and running up the incline as an incline all the way around
the outfield area to the fence Edwards takes a curve that bounces in the dirt
ball to two balls and two strikes of course Gene has a few miles on him he's turned
up at thirty nine at least he's had thirty nine birthday parties on the card
born in 1922 to two pitch hit out the left field on the line Thomas starts
him and stops quickly puts his glasses down and makes the catch that ball will
hit so Edwards looking for his first hit in this series hitting the ball well but
not coming up with any luck one out now the batter will be the shortstop Leo
garden is to one game in favor since that he partners the two sixty six hitters with
six home runs and twenty six runs batted in senators out in the top of the fifth
score still one to one with New York first pitch to garden as a strike call
now Anderson working quickly picks up the second strike on the outside corner
garden is looking at both on to now
there's a two strike pitch to the right-handed batter outside ball one one
ball two strikes garden is a little fellow being played as a full hitter by
the infield there's a ball hit right back in Anderson a good place he stopped
it from going to center field taking the ball on one hop throw the first base in
time out number two one to three that brings up Bob Perky
perky a right-handed batter with good power he is at two home runs so far this
year his average one thirty six though speaking of home runs the runs batted in
Tommy Davis of the Dodgers had four runs batted in against the Cubs yesterday as
the Dodgers one at eight to two and those four home runs giving him one hundred
four the year the first man in Major League ball this year to break into the
hundred mark area there's a first pitch to Perky a swing in a miss strike one
major league record for RB eyes and one season held by Hack Wilson he had a hundred
and ninety one year out of one strike pitch outside one ball one strike that was
a year that accept the National League mark for home runs a fifty six one one
pitch outside the Perky hundred and ninety runs batted in in one season that's
almost unbelievable there's a swing and a five all hit to shuttle center field
Richie Ashburn waiting makes the catch to retire the side three up three down the

get quite a hand he was a big favorite here over the years he fits the ball game
for Cincinnati when he was only 15 years old this has been an interesting year for
Joe Nuxall he was in spring training in Miami with a Baltimore Orioles they cut
call strike on the outside corner three and two the Los Angeles Angels picked
Nuxall up and he pitched only very briefly for them and was handed his pink
slip is released he made a deal for himself with any leash from the general
manager of the San Diego Club and it's so well at San Diego which is a Cincinnati
farm club that the Reds brought him up Nuxall at 1 9 and lost two in the
Coast League with San Diego big left-hander despite all of his experience is still
only 33 years old count three and two on Ashburn the pitch by Perky a fly ball at
the left field standing up Pat is Jerry Lynch now he comes in a step and makes
the catch for the out one away nobody on in the visiting third inning and the
hitter now will be Felix Bantia Felix 0 for one hit a pop fly taken by second
baseman blasting game his first time up and the Cincinnati club will have to
pair still another man off their roster when Gene freeze becomes an active player
probably on Monday Gene Woodling waiting on deck swing animus and a breaking
ball strike one it's thrown by a perky a grunder hit down a third handled by Eddie
Casco on the rim of the grass he throws the first in time to mend down
the grass to ask nobody on that Gene Woodling up Gene Boston to a double play
started by blasting game his first time up now blasting game moves over toward
the hole on the right side of the infield and back to the rim of the on field
grass against Gene Woodling and the shortstop Leo Cardin this pulls way
over towards second base line drive in the air to right field coming in hard
as Robinson he has to trap it plays it on a hop it's a base hit for Gene Woodling
Robinson made a pretty good play on that to keep the ball from going under his
glove and onto the wall and right field so that is a base at number five now off
by perky the Reds were opportunists in the opening inning they received two walks
from Craig Anderson and cash both of the walks in Casco and Benson drew walks
both came into score Casco scored on the base hit by Jerry Lynch made a
pence and crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly hit by Frank Robinson the
Mets scored their run on a home run a lying drive into the screen and left field
by Frank Thomas so Frank is up now for the second time he has two home runs
and two games this series now perky up in pitching position outside in the dirt
can't be handled by Edwards goes all the way to the backstop and Woodling goes down
a second and takes the turn while pitch charged to Bob perky now the New York
Mets has a potential tying run Gene Woodling in scoring position at second
two men down the hitter Frank Thomas Frank's home run was his 17th of the year
he holds up on the swing and the sliders over one ball one strike in the
boroughs double header Casey will be pitching South for Al Jackson in the
first game Bob Moore had his pitch so well in relief over the last three weeks
that he's being rewarded with a starting assignment here's the one one pitch he
lets it go outside and low ball two two and one Monday will be an off day and
the Mets will spend the off day in Milwaukee they'll be the only baseball team

into the teeth of the wind a lion drive that carried well through the wind and
up against the screen pitching three and two he swings and messes the ball gets
away from Edwards he's after it he throws the first in time getting Thomas
Thomas struck out on a breaking ball it got away from Johnny Edwards but Edwards
went back to get it in time to throw Thomas out on a pretty close play at first
battery tired in the third inning no runs one hit no errors one left on and now at
the end of two and a half innings the score the Reds two and the Mets one now

the Cincinnati batting order now down blasting game the second baseman
lasting game 0 for one was thrown out by Charlie Neal his first time up he's
hitting a two seventy on the year Yankees with a four to one lead at the end
of five in the stadium against Washington on a three run homer by Roger Maras
number twenty four for Roger Anderson winds in comes he's pitch a swing
and a miss and Craig really has the mustard on that one Craig Anderson right
hander with youth and good science going for him Washington DC signed with the
Cardinals out of Lehigh University a smash caught in the glove by Craig Anderson
a hard shoulder high line drive and Craig reacting quickly got his glove up
there took a look and right in the pocket of the glove was that little old white
pearl to mend down to ask nobody on now here's Veta Benson Veta differently
from Frank Robinson and Gordy Coleman who got off very slowly this year.
Benson got off to a lightning fast start then went into a batting slot inside
and lowest ball one.
Benson was well over 300 for quite a while but has failed off now to two eighty nine
he said 17 home runs and not 57 runs in inside and lowest ball to two and nothing
really has the speed going for him he could run alongside a jackrabbit and tickle him.
Greg Anderson to an on Veta Benson to ask nobody on next pitch by Craig a fast
ball that's high ball three that one took off on Craig Anderson so he goes behind
Veta Benson three and nothing beyond that batter and clean up hitter is Jerry Lynch
the left fielder pitching three and all ball four he walked him on four pitches
second time that Craig Anderson has walked Veta Benson and the third walk
given up by Craig now Jerry Lynch comes up he's single to right field driving home
Eddie Casco in the first inning that's hitting it two ninety three Jerry left
hand better now Craig Anderson turns and just laughs the ball over to Throneberry
at first Veta Benson of course with that wonderful running speed of his is always
a threat to go and a hard throw to first this time is not in time Frank Robinson
timing his swing in the on deck circle last thing game hit a hard line drive that
Craig Anderson three is love up and cut shoulder high for the second out ball one
it's outside reds with their win in the opener of the series last night are now

the Bucks leading the Giants six to five they have a real pair six brawl going in
that one either starter lasted very long Billy Odell or Al McBean for the first he
almost got him Veta Benson came back in a hard at first base and almost slid off the base
now Benson asking for time as though he might have heard his leg a little bit
now the throw on the first not in time Anderson up in pitching position there goes
Benson a high fly at the left field backing up goes Rod Coneal in the short
left the wind carrying it away from him and Rod catches up with it right on the
end the rim of the grass and left field ball appeared at first as though it might
carry a little bit deeper and the wind started sweeping it over that wind is
going from left to right and Coneal caught the ball on the edge of the outfield

across the field of score the Mets two and the Reds two Mr. Ralph I didn't talk
to New York today so I don't know how the weather is back home but I do know out
here in this part of the country in the right land is somewhat of a sizzler
boy is a real woman right here Bob but whether you're in Cincinnati or New
York you know what the people are doing don't you well chances are they're
enjoying a frosty glass or two of rain gold extra dry because rain gold takes
the edge off your thirst in a hurry you know when it comes to refreshment rain
gold is in a class by itself it's a quicker quencher because it's extra dry
yes sir those two little words extra dry tell you that rain gold is proved the
long slow costlier way for a taste that's brisket bright and clean clear through
so if you haven't already done it wouldn't this be a good time to open up or
order up a nice gold bottle or can of rain gold extra dry your first taste will
be a million say my bear is rain gold the dry bear I think argue has a lot of
confidence in this when he puts a line in there such as a quicker quencher but
that's exactly what it is at Forbes field the Giants got a run in the top half of
the sixth inning and that's not tied up Giants six and the Pirate six after
the second inning Frank Robinson up against Craig Anderson and the pitchers

the Cubs one at the end of three and a half one and one on Frank Robinson
pitch by Craig Anderson bounding ball it towards short Cadeo trying to cut it
off can't man Tia throws the first wide of the bag.
It will be an error charged to man Tia on the wide throw at first base that
full Thronebury off the bag play became a tough one for man Tia when Rod
Caniel going to his left trying to cut it off failed to reach it and moved in
front of man Tia but Felix handled it then through but through wide so the
Reds have a runner in Frank Robinson in the batter now is Gordy Coleman
Coleman flag to write his first time up he's been red hot now Craig Anderson

last year he's a young ball player left hand hitter fine defensive performer and
the Reds feel they have their catching problem solid for a long time with him
hit hard it hits the first base back goes over Thronebury's head and down the
right field line for an extra base hit Edwards will go into second base with
the double a double to write for Johnny Edwards he had a hard grounder that
hit the cushion at first base and when it hit the base it took a high hop and
what over Thronebury said it on down the line for a double that is only the
second hit given up by Craig Anderson at the ball on hit the base Thronebury
would have been in front of it to cover it for an out now the batter is the

out of the way of that one one ball in those strikes white socks lead the red
socks two to nothing after five and a half in Fenway Park with Juan Pizarro
dueling against six foot eight inch Jean Conley
Ashburn one for two in the game Casco in closer third he's around a bunch
bumps down the first baseline and it is a foul ball it is a foul ball and now
the argument is on cookie lava Jettler and Richie Ashburn thought both thought it
was a fair ball Stan Landis and Benny Smith trying to get together on it now
and what's it going to be Ashburn but of the ball long down the first baseline
and as the first baseman Gordy Coleman came up and tried to handle these
juggled it around for a moment losing any chance he might have had for a play on
Craig Anderson and it appears to Stan Landis had called it one way Benny Smith
the other Ashburn is standing on first base right now and here comes Freddie
Hutchinson at first Benny Smith called it a foul ball he was then overruled by the
umpire and chief of the game big Stan Landis and now Landis is talking to
Freddie Hutchinson near home plate it'll be a base hit for Richie Ashburn
Mets will have runners on first and second nobody out and this argument isn't
over as yet by a long shot Freddie Hutchinson is talking to Stan Landis
near home Benny Smith the first base umpire had called the ball foul Stan Landis
had overruled him and called it a fair ball and it will stand up as a fair ball
and a base hit for Ashburn so it goes as a base hit for Richie Ashburn on the
bunt down the first baseland as Coleman had trouble in fielding and Richie beat
him to the bag and after the argument is over it is ruled a base hit for Ashburn
one umpire saw it as a foul ball one is a fair ball but it was the plate umpire
Stan Landis who called it a fair ball now Felix Mantilla is hitting runners on
first and second nobody out they scored a hit the eighth hit of the game for the

glove on it and knocking it partially down then he got to his feet one after
it picked it up tried to get to the back ahead of man Tia he was stumbling
and falling trying to get back on his feet and could not beat man Tia to

baseball
to have now runners at first and second still in the batter charlie neal
charlie was one hit three times up

factors to giving the sister that are reds another run and they have a two run
edge with Bob Perkey now coming up the bat well one thing for sure throughout the

alright Ralph can arrive can you let's come around a step into the batters box
for the New York Metro in the top of the ninth can you let's slide the right
slide the center and ground it out to first place
as the Cincinnati Reds
have five runs on seven hits and no errors in the Mets have three runs on
eleven hits and two errors
both starting pitchers have come all the way
now all the warm-up action in the bullpen of the Cincinnati Reds has stopped
as Perky goes into the wind up in the pitches in there for a call strike to
ride Keneal
Ed Boucher has come out to the on-deck circle
for the Mets
and a prospective pinch hitter for Chris Canisaro who is due up next
Perky again with a wind up in the pitch it is Bunny foul
backing out of play as
Rod Keneal tried to bun it down the third baseline instead it went way back foul so it
strikes two and out of Keneal
last night in similar circumstances Choo Choo Coleman was sent up as a pinch hitter
Rod Keneal in the top of the night from the Mets trailing by two runs
that pitch is inside for Ball close pitch it's one and two
wind blowing out to right field at Crosley Field in Cincinnati
as Perky looks in for a sign from catcher Johnny Edwards
as it goes into the wind up and the pitch is tight to Rod Keneal
it's two and two
again Perky looks in for a sign shakes off one has the one he wants now the wind
up and the pitch is on the way swung on and pulled foul on the ground
so the count holds at two two
in the American League this afternoon the New York Yankees defeated the
Washington Senators 4 to 3 and the Chicago White Sox shut out the Boston
Red Sox 5 nothing Minnesota 27 the Baltimore Orioles 4 at the end of
5 here's a 2-2 pitch to Keneal and it's tight the count is 4 at 3 and 2 now
to the first man up for the Mets in the top half of the ninth inning so we'll
have a payout pitch from Bob Perky to Rod Keneal it's on the way it's tidy
walk the ball for that is the first walk given up in this ballgame by Bob
Perky who is struck out only two and that will bring up now Ed Boucher batting
for Chris Camisaro at Boucher is a left hand batter recently recalled from
Syracuse one game at Syracuse he had three home runs in one game and a total
of six during his tenure there Boucher represents potential tying run at the
plate for the New York Mets batting here in the top half of the ninth inning
Jim Hickman has come out now swinging about as a perspective pinch hitter for
pitcher Craig Anderson do up next it's taboo she is outside for ball
perky goes to the rosin bag coming back in now takes off the glove rubs up the
ball he is under the stretch now and the pitch is in there for Carl strike
one and one the counter Ed Boucher at the plate there's a pitch low and away it
is ball two two and one and again there is action in the bullpen for the Cincinnati
Resid started this inning everybody stopped and went back to the bench but
now they're up and throwing once again in earnest it is Bill Henry the left
hander down there working now in the bullpen for the Cincinnati Reds along
with Jim Brosnan Brosnan and Henry they get a lot of work in the course of a
season there's a pitch outside to Boucher it is three and oh not Ed Boucher
there is action also in the bullpen of the New York Mets Ken McKenzie is up
and throwing and Bob Miller is up and throwing double barrel action and both
bullpens at carsly feeling Cincinnati Boucher looking down to Salahim as the
coach at third doesn't have the sign clearly himself back out of the batter's
box to be sure to find out what he is doing on three and oh he asked him us
to run through the repertoire again and he does there's nobody out for the
Mets batting in the top half of the ninth inning Jim Hickman kneeling in the
on-deck circle Marty Keoh is the first baseman for the Cincinnati Reds here's
a swing and a foul ball as Ed Boucher took a rip at three and oh and fouled it
back under the screen it's check it he was three and one it is not three and
two took a rip at three one and it's not three balls and two strikes it's since
Perky again with the rosin bag Keoh is not trying to hold Rod
Kineal on it first base defensively the Reds have a two run lead
Perky is up into the stretch position he's running on three two and here is a
ground ball a second base passing game up with it makes the play over the first
base to Keoh but by running on the pitch Kineal is able to pull up safely at
second so there's one man up Kineal is at second base and Craig Anderson is
being removed now for pinch hitter Jim Hickman
Jim Hickman has a season's batting average of 266 including seven home runs
the Reds lead here by a score of five three with a match batting in the top of
the night against the right hand bat and out third baseman Eddie Casco moved over
towards the line to protect against the possibility of an extra base hit here's
the pitch low went away for ball one
Richie Ashburn is due up next for the New York Mets
Perky has a sign into the stretch as Kineal leads off the bag at second base
and here's a pitch to Hickman it is high for ball two it's two and oh Hickman
steps out to look down to the sign man now and the pitch is swung on and as a
line drive to right Frank Robertson is there Kineal tags up at third tags up
at second and does not go he draws the throw but then goes back to second so
they're two men out on a runner at second as Robinson moved in to take the
line drive off to better Hickman and he'll tag through the throat is not going
Richie Ashburn is coming up so for the New York Mets it is up to Ashburn here
in the top half of the ninth inning Cincinnati Reds 5 and the New York Mets

Perky checks and deals it's just way outside and it's two to breaking ball way out there
Ashburn backs out of the batters box after spikes and gets set to come back in
Perky working a little bit around the rubber out there and set now up on the
rubber looking in to get a sign into the stretch position and the two to fix
strong enough to come out of the right side mighty Keo takes it makes the play
