New York Yankees faced the Kansas City Athletics at Municipal Stadium for a Sunday double header
on September 14, 1958.
The Yankees were managed by Casey Stengel and were looking to make it back to the World
Series after losing to the Braves in 1957.
They entered this game with a magic number of one, looking to clinch their 10th pennant
in 12 seasons.
The Kansas City was managed by Harry Kraft in his first season leading the athletics.
They entered this game with a 67-74 record and were on their way to having a respectable
year after five straight seasons with more than 90 losses.
This audio recording is from the Yankees Radio broadcast of Game 1 of the Double Header,
featuring announcers Phil Rizzuto and Mel Allen.
Looking out on the ballpark, it's a pretty daylight scene, of course.
Blue sky around bright sunshine.
You see that Kansas is corn country or wheat country, and the greatest harvest is usually
a yellow or a gold color.
Today in the ballpark at Kansas City, I'd say that the green grass is greener than it's
ever been.
The management under the direction of their consultants concerning the grass and keeping
it afield, glad it's a new seed, and it's really coming to a bloom, apparently, because
the Kansas Park, Kansas City Park is one of the greenest of any in the league at this
point in the season.
They'll be playing on the time of the moment.
Here's the batting order for today in the first game.
Starting lineup for the visiting New York Yankees, Norm Siebern in left field, Norm Siebern
leading off playing in left field.
Batting second at second base, Gil McDougal, Mickey Mantle, M Centerfield, batting third.
Batting cleanup today in game number one, playing in right field will be Enos Country
Slaughter.
Batting fifth and catching Elston Hard.
Batting sixth at first base, Louis Scowen.
Batting seventh at shortstop, Tony Kubeck.
Batting eighth today at third base will be Bobby Richardson, and batting ninth and pitching,
Duke Moss.
While the Kansas City athletic hallman standing, Bill Tuttle will lead off and play on center
field, batting number one, Bill Tuttle in center field.
Roger Marath will bat second in right field.
Hector Lopez will bat third and play a second base.
Batting cleanup, a homerun leader in the league for, well, almost since his beginning.
This year Bob Cerf in left field.
Preston Ward will bat fifth at first base.
First baseman, Preston Ward, batting number five.
Batting sixth at third base will be Al Smith.
Batting seventh and catching will be Frank House.
Batting eighth at shortstop, Gilda Bastery.
Batting ninth and pitching.
A fellow who was at one time a Yankee property, fated to Kansas City, is most anxious always
to show a victory against the old team.
So he'll face them again probably for the last time this year, Ralph Terry.
Ralph Terry, as they probably, it is the last time that he'll have a starting assignment
against them in the second game.
The pitcher for Kansas City hasn't been posted, but he probably will be during the first
game.
The umpires are due at the moment as home plate with Vanity Casey Stengel and the Kansas
City athletic spot.
And the two of them will once again check the infield road and playing dimensions and
then we'll have a double header in full swing.

The Yankees by winning a game, maybe the first or second, or the Chicago White Sox should
say lose, would give the Yankees their pennant for 1958.
Of course they're so close now as the assurance of the tie after Gil McGoogle's being the
hero of yesterday's game, put them ahead with a three-run home run blast, final score five
to four.
They'd like to go out and win the game that will give them their flag.
But should they lose the first, meanwhile Chicago should win or lose their first game
today, as the Yankees would either win it or be backed into the play.
The situation remains to put it bluntly that today is the day that the Yankees will clinch
their flag and it's just a matter of minutes or hours as to when it comes.
And the outfielders then bring up throwing the ball around.
In the background you can hear that electric organ that is part of a scene here all with
Kansas City.
We might as well turn it over to Phil Rizzuto.
I have to play by play.
Mike, you're following me and telling me more about that.
Pretty scene.
Fresh green grass and a beautifully cultivated diamond that wears sunny bright.
The 121 strikeout this year.
He leaves the Kansas City pitching staff in that department.
Ed Garver leaves the eight and total amount of wins with 12.
And the lead up spot today swinging two big bats talking with Hill McDover.
Yankees kind of keyed up a little bit.
They would like to win this game and leave no doubt as to who was the best team in the
American League.
The magic number is one.
Any combination of a white-sox defeat or Yankees victory will cinch the 24th clinic for the
New York Intergate and the night under the management of Casey Sinclair.
Frank Lucetti goes down to third base coaching box.
Ralph Hout is over at first.
He whips the ball around and fails.
We're ready to go.
Seabrood, batting 304, 17-double, four trebles, 12 homers and 46 runs batting in.
Steps in on the bat at the start.
The wind whipping the ball players' pants and shirts.
Seabrood steps in.
Here's the first pitch of the ball game.
The curve is low ball one.
How Smith's playing even with third is the wind-up.
The curve is strike one cold on the outside corner.
Jerry has thrown two exchange-up curve balls up there with this wind blowing out.
Looks like Ralph wants Yankees to supply their own power.
When you throw the fastball, any connect, of course, it goes a lot further.
Here's the 1-1-6 fastball that's hit in the ground at first base.
Fastballed up with it.
Flips the carry-carving in time for the out.
Ralph Terry coming over to cover first base.
Had a difficult play.
Fastballed through the ball over again.
And it's one away.
And the first base comes to the pitcher and he has killed McGoogal.
A hero of yesterday's ball game.
He'll hom it with 202 out in the eighth inning.
He'll batting 248.
He has 16-doubles.
One triple.
13 homers and 60 runs batting in.
Terry pitching with a modified no wind-up delivery.
Hodes the ball in front of him and then brings his hands down and then over his head.
Here's the first pitch to Gale.
The curve is strike one cold on the outside corner.
A tremendous crowd here again today to see the final appearance of Yankees here at Municipal Stadium.
There's always been a terrific town attendance wise for the Yankees to come in.
Here's the one strike pitch to McGoogal.
Outside ball one one one.
And there was a threat of rain.
As a matter of fact the weather man last night gave a prediction of rain early in the afternoon.
But this wind that's been blowing seems to have blown the dark clouds away.
There are some light clouds overhead but pretty clear.
Here's the one one pitch to Gale.
Ball two just above the letters.
Two and one on McGoogal.
Now Terry checks the turn from Frank Hauss.
Here's the pitch to McGoogal.
The curve is just above the letters again.
Ball three three and one.
He's around the plate but just a little high with his pitches.
On deck Mickey Mato.
Terry sets in the mound.
A three one pitch to McGoogal swings and misses strike two as...
Well Terry took a little bit off his curve ball.
Here looking for the fast ball and a three one pitch going for the long ball.
It was way out in front. Now we're ready for the playoff pitch to McGoogal.
Here it is.
Low outside ball four. He changed up on the curve and missed the corner.
There's the first base runner of the afternoon. Gale McGoogal.
And here's Mickey Mato.
Mickey is batting three oh four. Nineteen doubles one triple. Forty homers and eighty seven runs batting in.
Preston Ward holding first base against Gale McGoogal.
Here's the stretch.
Low inside ball one.
Here's the stretch as McGoogal leads off first. Fast ball is low ball two two nothing.
Two balls no strike to count on Mato. One away. We're in the top of the first no score.
First game of the big double head up.
Harry sets on the mound. Pitch to Mickey is strike one call on the outside corner.
He wants to know how you'll be able to here build some and yell out straight or foul.
Or if they ever get hit with a foul tip on his foot you'll hear him scream.
The second one pitch is Jack swing in the short center field. Tuddle digging hurt and make the catch.
Short center field. Mickey has had trouble like that in the last three days.
But the only difference is in Chicago he came up with two base pitch ducking out of the way of inside pitches.
That time he ducked out of the way. The ball went his best.
And with the wind blowing the ball went into short center field for our number two in his country's slaughter batting in the cleanup spot.
The slaughter batting 319 has two doubles. One triple. Four homers and 16 runs battered in.
Harry ready to pitch the slaughter. There's a quick strike one call on the inside corner.
Harry sets again. Pitch the slaughter swing and a miss. Great two on a changeup.
Beautiful motion on that pitch and in the country was really fooled by it.
Matter of fact the swan whoop his front foot the left one was high in the air trying to regain his balance.
Now begin two on slaughter. Here's the stretch. The pitch. He's in the dirt house knocked it down.
He goes to Google the second throw and Gillis takes the second and a beautiful fade away snipe by Gail McDougal
who's put driver bag in tag with his hand as the mainstream lungs form.
And that will probably cause a wild fish as the ball hit the dirt in front of the plate.
Frank House blocked it. Wild fish.
Official scorers is seeing that eye with me as he can leave me here.
I'm seeing that eye with that. That's the difference. But there the score is. OK Ripley.
McDougal is in scoring position down at second base. Very stretches.
Curve is fouled in front of the plate and House made a nice play. A very smart play by Frank House
who as the ball hit the ground slapped at it to keep it in fair territory because he saw that slaughter was not running.
There was a little bouncer in front of the plate that was curving foul.
So House very widely slapped the ball in a fair territory but Bill Summers on the play said the ball hit in foul territory
and on the ball. Frank House got his glove on the ball.
These ball players are always thinking. One ball two strikes on slaughter. Two out. McDougal at second.
In the top of the first no score in the ball game.
Old glory really blowing up the center field.
The stretch by Terry. That's the slaughter is just outside ball two two and two.
Terry steps back off the mound. Now he's ready. Put his glove on his left knee.
He's hiding the ball behind his back as he checks the sign from Frank House.
There can plenty of time out there. Throw the no step out of the box.
Got me nervous up there and slaughter finally steps out of the box.
I mean when you're set up there and that pitch it takes extra time you sort of tighten up
and the best thing to do is step back or take that deep breath that Bob Turley takes between pitches.
Now we're ready. The pitch to slaughter. The curve is hit.
Face hit the right field and slaughter. McDougal will score that slaughter around first.
He goes to the plate and knocked down and gets play.
Frank House has wrapped Terry hit the ball with his bare hands.
Slaughter goes down to second base. Grounds it and then holds on.
That'll be a single for Slaughter driving in Gil McDougal and there will be an error on the play.
Ralph Terry is charged with an error as he stuck out his bare hand and deflected the ball away from Frank House.
So Ines Slaughter singles to drive in Gil McDougal and the Yankees lead one or nothing here on the top of the first inning.
For Slaughter that says 17th RBI of the year.
Country used mostly as a pinch hitter and a real good one. Here's Elston Howard.
Now we're doing the catching today, betting 329.
The first pitch to Howard is a curve swings and misses strike one on a high curve ball.
Kelly has 18 doubles, 5 trebles, 11 homers and 64 runs battered in.
Terry sets.
That's what was hit in the ground, in the hole, the Mastry there. The long throw to first.
He and Simon have beautiful play by Joe the Mastry.
I tell you that ball was way in the hole. He fielded on the edge of the outfield grass
and it's throw just in time to get Howard for the Yankees in the top of the first one run.
One hit, one Kansas City error, one man left on base.
The score at the end of one half inning of play, the Yankees won and Kansas City coming to bat.

Chokes up a little bit on the right hand here. Swings a slow ground ball.
Rages and cuts in front of. Go back, flips the scour and 40 out, one away.
Oh, that makes it easy for a short step. When you've got a third baseman that can come in and get those slow hops,
you can play a lot deeper and cover more ground. One out here is Roger Maris.
The right fielder. Maris, betting only 246 but he has 18 doubles, 4 triples, 25 homers and 73 runs.
That's fair heading out, Fielder. Plenty of power.
Here's the first pitch to Maris. Swings and follows the pitch in the seats down the right fielder. Strike one.

That ball is at high in the air, right fielder, way back there.
And curving far over the fence, way back up on the hill, situated between the fence on the playing field
and the double fence, which is about 60 or 70 feet back of the first fence, with a real landing hill.
Fielder runs up and gets the ball. That ball had plenty of distance, but just pulled far.
And as we told you, anything that's hit fairly good up in the air is going to be trouble.
Wind is blowing from 20 to 25 miles per hour today and blowing out in favor of the batters.
One ball, two strikes on Roger Maris. One out, nobody arm around the bottom of the first. The Yankees lead one or nothing.
Moss swings into his windup. The curve is high ball two. Maris starting to swing checks in time. Two and two.

Fucking bad at the play but then he'll come back and hit everything in sight.
That she is high inside. Most has to duck out of the way. Two and two of the counts.
This time Terry goes into a double pump. The pitch to Scowern has hit high in the air to center field.
But he got the ball on the handle part of the bat. Tuttle under it.

Well some of the play on fire is having one of the photographers who is down in the field put his gear away and get off the field.
He's in back of home plate and actually it's for the photographers own safety because those small balls come back there so fast that you don't have chance to get out.
The way he's really taking his time.
That's what's holding up the start of this bottom half of the third inning.
He finally gets his case closed up picks up the camera one of the fans applies and we open the gate and then he goes.
The summer's back in the umpire spot and back about how and we're ready to go.
Duke Moss on the mound for the Yankees.
Three to nothing in favor of the Yankees were in the bottom of the third.
First pitch to Frank House is a line drive right at cool back and short.

Terry, that was his first strikeout.
Kubeck is batting 2-72.
First pitch to Tony is popped in the air.

Coming in, it makes the catch in fair territory.
Fair out number three.
Many chased off, Haas, who had it back up on the ball.

That's the score at the end of 3-1.5 inning.

Fischer Roger Maris, outside Ball 1, Bill.
Here's the wonderful Fischer Maris.
One hop-line drive and go to Backhanded.
Both are scouring, it's time for the outs.
One away, and a nice play by Gilmick Jogel.
Now it's hit the ball hard.
Look, for the Yankee players right there.
Here's Hector Lopez, who bounced out there
the first in the first inning.
Lopez, batting 260.
Nice ball.
This ball is hit on one hop to third again,
Richard Tnopoulos.
Maris is scouring in time for the outs, two-way.
And here's Bob Serr, who'll fly out to center field in the second inning.
Serr was given a thick night here in Kansas City.
Fans show their appreciation to Bob for the great year he's having.
Two-way and nobody on the bottom of the court.
Here's a pitch to Serr, a curve is low, ball one.
Serr swings that big bat from down the end.
Pitch is a clear hit, foul pass, third, spike one, one-on-one.
One-on-one on Bob Serr.
Duke Moss, passing out a baseball, trading it in.
One ball, one strike, two outs.
Here's a pitch.
Not a grand foul outside the pitch.
Count holds.
Now one ball, two strikes.
Duke Moss rubbing up that new ball.
Duke's not in a hurry today.
Taking 20 time out on the mound.
Double punch this time to Serr.
Low-curve, bouncing in the dirt, all the way back to the screen.
Now it's a two-two count.
Serr's had to lunge at that ball, just to hold up the swing.
Moss trying to throw Serr off stride with that double pump.
Two balls, two strikes and two outs.
Pitch, curve is in a third ball three.
Full count on Serr.
In the dirt, ball four.
Serr gets the base on ball.
First one given up by Moss.
And that'll bring up Preston Moore.
Duke trying to work very carefully on Bob Serr,
because he knows if he makes a mistake with his wind blowing out,
it'll be a quick run against him.
So he lost Bob Ward,
and he got out to San Jose on the second inning, starting 295.
First pitch to Warden, side corner strike one call.
Preston Ward had jumped back out of the way of that first ball.
And it looks a little surprised that Bill Summers called it a strike.
Serr leading off first.
Next ball, next roomie. And back on the curve in the dirt.
Knocked it down, it's out of the plate, one on one.
Stretch by Duke.
Pitch is a ground foul outside of first.
One ball, two strikes on board.
Two out here in the bottom of the fourth.
Yankees lead three to nothing.
That's another baseball.

Make the catch in short right center field.
For out number three, for Kansas City in the bottom of the fourth.
No runs, no hits, no Yankees, one man left.
His score at the end, four full innings.
The Yankees three, Kansas City nothing.
And the Yankees three, Kansas City nothing.
Look at the scoreboard.
In the American league, the White Sox four, Washington one at the end of seven.
Four double-headed. Cleveland defeated Baltimore seven of four in the first game.
The Tigers lead Boston six to nothing at the end of seven in the first game.
In the national league, Milwaukee three, the Dodgers two at the end of six.
Another single game, another single game.
The Cardinals defeated the Phillies six to three.
In the first of two, the Pirates defeated the Cubs five to four.
In the second game, it's one one at the end of one.
And in the first of two, Cincinnati defeated the Giants four to three.
They have another game to go.
We have another big game to go here.
But right now we pause for a station identification.
Our Yankee baseball games are brought to you by Valentine's beer and ale and Atlanta gasoline companies
exclusively in the Capital District over WOKO 1460 first in Albany, New York.
Now, Mel Allen and I are going to switch positions.
Mel will be right here in a couple of seconds.
As we get ready to play ball in the fifth inning, hello everybody.
Your host is Valentine beer, the largest selling beer in the East.
Enjoy a glass of Valentine right along with the game.
It's lovely light, smooth and delicious. Man, but it's good.
As the pitch for a strike, Richardson pounds it back.
One and two.
Richardson takes fine inside. One and two. One ball, two strikes.
One and two to count.
The ball is just swung on foul off to the right of the plate out of play.
The uproar you heard in the background was due to the fact
that somebody pumbled around the foul ball.
Bobby Richardson takes it low outside.
It's swung on, looped out over short and the ball is dropping in there for a base hit.
I don't really care about that rock and roll.
I'm not going to get the basic rhythm, but there once was something that comes out like that.
Duke Mars punched the ball down the first base line to Preston Ward.
He tosses the hecto lopez covering for the sacrifice.
I don't know if it's a good thing, but I'm going to give it a second.
There's no one to see, but ground it to Preston Ward.
There's no rock and roll in the night or something like that.
I keep dialing on the radio driving home. I thought I could get.
Norm Siebrin takes the strike over the inside corner.
The ball is up against the wall and here is Richardson heading for third, rounding it.
He goes in with a triple off the right center field fence at the 387 foot mark.
Norm Siebrin, narrowly missing a homer, had racked it high off the right center field fence.
He scored a nothing in favor in New York.
Neil McDougal takes the ball outside for a ball.
Norm Siebrin's fifth triple and 47th run batted in.
Dougal walked and homered. Pitch is outside, ball two.
The next pitch is swung on the foul off the right of the plate strike one, two and one.
Infield is in for plate to plate. Terri to the wind up the pitch to Gill. In there for a strike, two to.
Two off, two strikes.
Ralph Terrier to the wind up the pitch and McDougal takes it outside, ball three, three and two.
Infield in, the wind up round comes right on the three two pitch, swung on a smash to short, knocked down by Demacry, picks it up, throws the first in time with Siebrin having the whole third.
Gill really tagged it, but right at Demacry and the ball hit his feet, bounced up and hit him on the chest chin, somewhere around the pinar on my hand.
It was a hard shot boy, he made a remarkable play on the ball.
Jimmy Uol, the ace trainer goes out to check with Demacry.
A remarkable play on it. Jimmy Uol checking with Joe Demacry right now and it keeps her on from coming home.
Okay, hangs in there. Two down now, Siebrin remains on third and here's Maddole, flies to center and fouled out to third, hitting three oh three.
Two men away, one run in and the fifth inning.
Four to nothing, New York, in field back, of course, at normal depth, the pitch to Mickey, it's in there for a strike, nothing in one.
One strike pitch, swung on as fly ball right in the right center, Bill Tuttle getting under it and the sides retired.
One run, two hits, no errors and one left on.
And at the end of four and a half innings of play, the Yankees four, Kansas City, nothing.
You know, you've been hearing a lot about the crisp pressure. Oh, Siebrin, I got to thinking of these thoughts sort of tell you just what the crisp pressure is like.
For example, it won't be long before a fall, although officially be here.
And you know how pleasant it is to take a hike through the woods, how crisp the air feels.
This is the kind of satisfaction you get with Valentine beer, the crisp pressure.
This is the kind of satisfaction that is made Valentine, the largest selling beer in the East.
All you have to do is just look at a cool, palm-top, glass bowl, lively, golden and crisply clear, and then taste it.
Smooth and delicious as can be.
That's the crisp pressure, Valentine beer.
So make the three-ring sign and ask the man for Valentine.
Enjoy the crisp pressure soon.
Last half of the fifth inning.
Hal Smith, Frank House and Joe Demastre first three men up.
Newt Mars, the wind up around, comes the right arm, in comes the pitch, and it's in their first strike.
Nothing in one.
White Sox lead the Senators 7-1 as they go to the ninth inning, first game.
Mars pitches, swing-outs are high, pop foul over near the stands.
Scarron getting under the ball makes the catch and there's one away.
Smith fouls out to Scarron.
Frank House, line to Shorten, the third inning, batting 273, or 271 at present time 273 in the game began.
The pitch is swung on a foul back out of play.
No balls, one strike.
Mars flips, curve, swung on, and missed, strike two, let up, curve, nothing in two.
Two strike offing, swung on a ground ball hit to Scarron and he outruns House to the back.
Mars actually delayed starting over, and Moose had to go take it himself, two down.
And now Joe Demastry, single left field in the 13th.
The only hit, by the way, off Mars plus five.
Bud Daly limbering up the bullpen. Demastry gets on, aircraft might make a move.
Mars's pitch, swung on, fouled off, strike one.
Chicago beat Washington 7-1, Billy Pierce defeating Bill Fisher.
The only runoff, Pierce receivers 37, 38, color.
The delivery is outside ball one, which means that the Yankees cannot clinch the pennant
unless they win this game.
They'd rather clinch it winning a game rather than having it clinched while the White Sox were losing.
The one-one delivery, swung on, say, pop up out into short center, mantel coming in fast,
and can't get it, ball drops, make jizzles, and two back and madder all out there, and it's scored as a base hit.
Now let's see whether Terry's gonna bat or not with Bud Daly limbering up.
Ralph hadn't pitched bad ball at all, but he's out of the game gonna have a pinch hitter.
Like Bob Martin, batting for the Kansas City of the Crescent, and Larry here, and there's 32 Bob Martin.
So there's the viewers who were interested in the American baseball and baseball,
and they had one hit in the first game today.
Steve Reynolds and Jonathan had one hit in the first game today.
Bob Martin coming up to it for Ralph Terry.
With the American League batting race so close, Williams was leading this morning with 3-20.
Reynolds second 3-18, chain and serve tied for the next spot with 3-16, and Big Power was next with 3-15.
Still part of the day, serves nothing for one, Power in the first game had one for four,
Reynolds had one for four, Williams was nothing for four.
Bob Martin batting for Terry, forgot something, I don't know what, it's a wrong bat I guess.
Bill Summers walks over to see what's going on.
We can't see inside the dugout, I don't know what Bob's doing.
Summers goes over to see what's going on.
They got something in his eye.
Now Herzog's going to hit for Martin.
Martin got something in his eye.
That's a strange one.
Bob Martin was up there in the back, got something in his eye.
Now why did Herzog hit for Martin?
He both left handers.
I don't think I ever heard of anybody, Bill's over here on the TV side.
You ever heard of anybody batting for somebody because you got something in your eye?
Another oddity.
Here's a pitch now to Herzog and it's inside for a ball.
Summers checks the runner and the pitch.
It's in there, fast ball, strike one, twenty-one.
Right here's Herzog hitting for Bob Martin who is hitting for Ralph Terry.
Herzog hitting two-thirty-two.
The one-one pitch curve is swung on.
A ground ball hit out by second of McDougalooce and throws the first and gets him just in time.
Almost booted the ball too long. No runs, one hit, no errors and one left on.
And at the end of five innings of play, New York, four runs, four hits, no errors and two left on.
The Yankee Upton, a rather big can de cittiers, no run, two hits, one error and three men left on.
The only thing left is after that, the employee to the pitcher of the meantime,
but Bailey's been warming up on the Valentine's School Board in the American League,
the White Sox beat Washington, seven to one, Billy Pierce beat Bill Fisher.
The Seabrook guy is thirty-eight Homer.
The first game with all the double headers in the American League.
Cleveland beat Baltimore seven to four for SEB Johnson with big power homering of two on
and Rocky Colabito hitting two homers, is thirty-six and thirty-seven.
Second game, Baltimore leads, Cleveland three to nothing, ten of an inning and a half,
for the Clarell against Grant Woodishick in the second.
For the Clarell, Homer in the second inning.
Detroit beat Boston six to one, Fort Jack beats Sullivan.
Now let's see, wait a minute, Fort Jack couldn't have won this game.
If the ticker is right and Fornilas came on in the third inning,
then Fornilas would have to be the winning pitcher.
Did you say Fort Jack on the ticker, Joe?
Well if Fornilas came on in the third, he'd have to be the winning pitcher because the starter has to go five.
Sullivan the loser, Clarell, Sullivan in the ninth.
In the National League, Milwaukee and Los Angeles end of seven innings.
It is five to three Los Angeles, Tupstein for Dryasdale in the sixth,
Pizarro for Bewell in the sixth, Demeter, Homer to the one on and Adcock to the one off.
Playing one game. St. Louis, Pete, Philadelphia in there.
A single, a bare singer, just to say, just one game scheduled.
Jones, Pete, Sandberg, Homerons, Norrin, two for Cunningham, one with two on.
And a double header of Pittsburgh beat Chicago first game five to four,
Portofi in the relief of Braden the winner, Hillman relief of Anderson, the loser, Tanner, Homer with two on.
Pittsburgh four, Chicago one, end of two innings for second game, Brandon Phillips, Masarovsky, Homer to the second.
Cincinnati beat San Francisco four to three, Perky beat Miller, Robinson, Homer to the fourth,
Monsant and Newcomb, the pitchers in the second game.
Mudd Daly coming into pitch for Kansas City as we go to the sixth inning.
Ralph Terry in five innings, about four hits and four runs.
He walked two men and struck out one.
You know Slaughter swings the first pitch and hits it to short up with it on one half as the maestry is throw to first and tie.
Slaughter who had single run home in the first thing and grounded the second was after the first pitch.
Hit it hard but right at the maestry.
One away, Anas was hitting 322.
Now Elston Howard, grounded to short twice, batting 327.
Four to nothing, New York sixth inning.
Left hander, but Daly to wind up the pitch inside ball one.
Next delivery is high ball two.
Daly has a record of two and two, it's just 24th currents.
Came up with Cleveland went to Baltimore, straight from Baltimore, Kansas City for quarter-colonel.
Here's the pitch in there for strike, 21.
He's sending there with a buffalo and he was recalled some time ago.
The left hander is 2-1 pitched to Elston Howard, it's over, strike 2-2-2.
Boy that wind is really whipping. Somebody gonna get hurt with the ball hit up in the air pretty soon.
And the right one over that fence. Daly hit one over, pitched to Howard, swung on, ground ball hit up through the middle and the center for a base hit.
Bill Tuttle tossing back in.
And here's the moose who applied to center and struck out, hitting 279.
But Daly delivers the scouring. Over the inside corner for a strike, they whipped a fast ball in tight, had moose lean in.
Daly sets pitches, change up his inside, now the second goes Howard and he steals second, the ball bounced out of house, his mid.
I believe a hit and run was on. Now they've called it a wild pitch.
Howard was running before the ball was ever thrown to the plate, so he had to give him stolen base even though the ball got away from the catcher.
Now we have to go with the official ruling a wild pitch. Here's the delivery to the moose, swung on and missed strike 2, a wild swing.
One ball, two strikes.
Daly ready. Here's the pitch, swung on, hit foul, back the first out of play.
One, two count.
But Daly the stretch, Howard to lead off second, pitch to scouring, swung on, the ground ball hit out to second. Up with it as low pass throws on the ward, Howard advances to third.
Two away.
And Tony Kubek coming up, grounded to second and popped to third.
Tony batting 270.
Hal Smith shortened up to third. Two away, pitch to Kubek, swung on and missed strike one.
He tried to punch that one by a third, took sort of a half swing.
The left hander delivers and Kubek takes out the side for a ball on him one.
The one-one pitch, swung on, little roller, hit down the ward, he's up with it, steps on, first the side's retired.
No runs, one hit, no errors, one left on, 10 to 5 and a half innings.
Now to York 4, Kansas City nothing. Here's a song about Valentine beer, the crisp professor.
To be crisp, you'll be crisp, a beer must be ice cream ice, ice must be ice cream and delicious, food and delicious.
Like a golden crystal clear
The crystal clear pressure
Down the bottom, down the bottom, down the bottom
Here
Oh, oh, oh
Hey, yes you come here
Hey, yes you balance the time
Hey, yes you come here
Come to me and yes you like
All balance right here
Oh, oh, oh
Last half of the sixth inning
Oh, oh, oh
It's the top of the order for Kansas City
Tuttle, Maris and Lopez
Tuttle grounded to third and short
Getting 238
Newt Mars to the wind up around
Comes the right arm, the pitch
A little outside ball one
Mars to the wind up again
And the pitch
Swung on it, missed the slack one
One ball, one strike
Newt Mars next pitch, Tuttle swings
Hit the ground, ball out to short
Cougbeck has left up with it
Throws on to Skyron in time

One and two
One ball, two strikes
Bobby Richardson short enough
Third wide of the bag
Cougbeck deep over near second
McGoogle on the grass
Well into the first base hole
Skyron deep at the line
One, two pitch on its way
To the left hand batter
And it is low outside, Tutu
Two balls, two strikes
Duke into the wind up
And the pitch, curve hits him
As in the dirt and hit Maris on the foot
Hit by a pitch strong
Roke off a curve into the dirt
And pass the aim on the foot
And here is Hector Lopez
Grounded to third twice
Batting to 16, Bob served to follow
Duke tried to throw a lot of curve
Pulled a string on it too much
That feels straight away in field
And toward third the pitch is
Swung on it, missed the strike one
Went for an inside, fast ball
No balls, one strike
Here is the pitch
Swung on, foul off beneath the strike two
Nothing in two
No balls, two strikes, one out
Maas again to the stretch
Maris with a lead
Got good speed
And the pitch
Swung on, a ground ball hit out
To Quebec, over to McDougall
McDougall back to first double play
And the sides retired
No runs, no hits, no errors
And no one left on
Father Yankees 167th double play
And at the end of six innings
New York four runs, five hits, no errors
Three left on, Kansas City no runs
Two hits, one error, three left on

Four to nothing New York
Duke Mars
Bud Daley
The left-hander pitches
A little outside, ball one
Bud Daley and relief for Ralph Terry
Southpaw's next pitch
In there for a strike one-on-one
Duke's had five hits
At 44 times at bat
The one-on-one delivery
Turned ball over, strike two, one and two
One ball, two strikes
And the pitch
Swung on it, foul back
A one-two count on Mars
Bud Daley to his wind-up
Here's the pitch
All strike three, curfew
Two men away
Baby's got a real good slow curve
Now Norm Sebron
Granted the first block in triple to right center
Hitting 305
Two men out in the seventh inning
Four to nothing New York
Bud Daley to the wind-up delivers
Sebron takes inside, ball one
The one-nothing pitch
Fair ball over, strike one, one-one
Bud had an accident to his right arm
And it's considerably shriveled
But his left arm works magic with that baseball
The delivery in there, strike two, one and two
Fastball got the outside corner
One ball, two strikes
And the pitch
Swung on to high fly ball into short center
Lopez is out under it and makes the catch
Sides retired, no runs, no hits, no errors, no one left on
And at the end of six and a half inings of play
New York, four Kansas City, nothing
Ball game, take me out to the park, buy me some Valentine
And I'll stay around until it gets dark
Root, root for Valentine
The largest selling beer in the east
You can have a fine time with Valentine
In fact, you can enjoy it at a feast
Now the latter side of baseball
They tell about a well-known manager
Matt Cleveland had a cold one day
He kept his handkerchief pretty busy
And right from the start, every Indian who got the first base
Tried to steal second
After a while, the manager was puzzle ball
That and to what his coaches said
Remember, his Keppler, your steel sign is with a handkerchief
Up to the nose
The manager hadn't realized with that cold
He kept giving him the steel sign
On the latter side of something else
Let's talk about Valentine beer, the Chris Professor
A lifted glass of Valentine to your lips
So icily lights are smooth and delicious
And on top of that, Valentine is now
The largest selling beer in the east
So enjoy a tall, foam-top glass bowl
Just make the three-ring sign
And ask the man for Valentine
Valentine beer, the crisp refresher
It's the last half of the seventh inning
Bob Servup
Getting 3-15, flying to left center and walked
4-0 New York
Duke Mars starts to wind up
Around comes the right arm, the pitch
Swung on to high fly ball to left field
Sebron under the ball and makes the catch
And he dropped it!
And there goes Serv in the second
He had it and then dropped it
And it's a two-base error for Norm Sebron
The runner on second with nobody out
The Yankees are trying to get humance to say
And he had it and was taken it out of the club
He just dropped the ball
And he's going to wait for a moment
Franchive a second, but never a possession
So Bob serves on second base
The equivalent of a double
But it's a two-base error charged to Norm Sebron
And here's Preston Ward
And now he's having a start
Ward flying to right center
And straight away center, hitting 294
Duke Mars to the stretch
Pitch to the left hand batter
Swung on, hit the foul, and out of play
Back a third strike one
That was a funny kind of thing
It was a high ball
He must have had tremendous overspin
And got in the glove and just spun out of it
Norm is standing under
He didn't have to move anywhere
Something like that of course
Can change everything around
Put more pressure on the pitcher
Serve on second, nobody out
Kubeck tried to sneak in behind serve
Now we're ready
Pitch to Ward, low inside
Ball on, one and one
Howard talking to Mars now
Trouched back behind the plate
Preston Ward the batter
Smith and House to follow
Serve on second
Nobody out
Here's the pitch
High fast ball accounts two and one
Ready for the 2-1 pitch
Swung on, a ground ball
Bounced out to McDougall
And he's doing his way
And here's the third
Coming in to score
And it's 4-1
McDougall makes an error on Ward
Two straight errors and one run home
Stephen and McDougall
Two consecutive errors
Here in the seventh inning
That's the ball rolling in the other direction
Now Jim Turner signals the Yankee bullpen
Sometimes the pitcher is tuned very fine
For a game, can get upset over such situation
And then start to struggle
Now here's Hal Smith hitting 264
Mars checks the runner and the pitch
Swung on and foul back
Of course Duke has pitched a brilliant ball up to now
Two hitters and deserve to be working at two outs
And nobody on
Instead one on in, one on and nobody out
Ryan Duren gets up to throw over New York
Got some action in the A's bullpen
Mars into the stretch, check the runner
And the pitch
Swung on, it's a high puff foul
The wind's blowing it and he drops it
How about that?
Bow ball, that's three outs
That Yankees have failed to handle
The wind kept carrying it away
And I knew he had trouble
And he dropped it
And banking every got a glove on it
So wait the official score is ruling
Now Duke Mars, by his pitching has retired
To first three batters but he still hasn't got anybody out
Richardson could have had the ball
They have not turned over the error
Because the ball went and blew it away
Although Richardson was staying there
Could have gotten it but Howard was making the play
On the ball
So Smith is still alive, two strikes
Isn't this fantastic at that?
Mars getting a sign
Here's the pitch
Swung on and fouled off behind the plate
Count remains nothing in two
Dick Tomineck is throwing for Kansas City
A rough break for Duke
Mars all set and the pitch
Swung on, fouled back out of play
Count remains two strikes
Frank House is on deck
Mars again to the stretch
Ward leading off first
The pitch to Smithy
Swung on a bouncer hit to Quebec
Over to McDougal for one
Back to first a double play
That's five outs that Mars has gotten in this inning
But he's only been credited with two
The big DP, number two in the ball game
168 for New York
Now Frank House
Aligned to short and grounded to first
Four to one New York seventh inning
Mars delivers
Swung on to a fly ball into left center
Lay it on calling for it
And Mickey makes the catch
The side's retired
One run
No hits, two errors and no one left on
And at the end of seven innings
The Yankees four runs, five hits
And three left on
Kansas City one run, two hits
One error and three men left on
And as the follow says that's the way it goes
How about you trying that Chris

With a possibility that, well we'll tell you about that later
Depends on how things look around about the end of the eighth inning
He's coming over right now
Ready to go here in the top of the eighth
Hill McDougal leading off
McDougal walk home and bounce out short to fair
He's driven in two and scored twice
Strike one on Gill
Bud Daly the left hander on the mound
One strike, Chris McDougal is low ball one one one
Ricky Mantle on deck
One one pitch is outside ball two two and one
Pitch is popped in here from outside of first person war going over
Can't make the catch the ball goes into the box seats and back of first base
Point two on Gill
Here's the two two pitch
Low outside ball three three and two
Ready for the payoff pitch to McDougal here it is
Gill swings and lines it to left field way back there way back
And off the wall to left center field McDougal around first heading for second
He slides and he's in there with a double
Gill McDougal hits a long double off the left center field
Just about five or six feet from going over for another home
Gill is starting to hit now
Timely hits and here's Mickey Mantle batting right handed against the left hander
Bud Daly Mickey has twice fly to center and popped to fair
Mantle down to three oh two
Here's the stretch by Daly
Sheriff is over strike one call
Daly steps back off the mom
Now he's ready
Here's the stretch
Here's the low ball one one one
McDougal leading off second base
The one one pitch
Ball two two and one
Mickey's jump that pitch, picked it up McDougal started but went back to second
Mickey holding that bat way down on the end
He gets one up in this wind
Looks on where it'll go
Oh the off is left foot
He's up with a ball coaching a third
And thank you Matt wants to look at the ball
Now good and I saw it out of play
From shoot polish on it by Mickey's foot
Two balls two strikes and nobody else
Mickey's lead four to one
Here's the stretch
Pitch to Mickey way inside gets by house but still not far enough for Mantle
By the McDougal with that it's full count on Mickey three and two
Daly's got a pretty good nut load
Enough to handle when this wind blowing
The attend is a win it helps the knuckle ball pitch it
Stretch and a payoff fetch
Oh back against the screen
Now holds it three and two
What Daly checked the sign from Frank House
Pitch is strike three on a change of curve ball
That Mantle swinging Mickey was really reaching for that one
One out here is the Enos Slaughter who was single in the first inning driving in McDougal
Counts out second to first and short to first
Slaughter betting for each one
Here's the pitch to Slaughter high inside ball one
One way here in the top of the eighth Yankees four Kansas City one
The catch is popped in the air in foul territory
Going back under it makes the catch in foul territory for out number two
Smitty thought that was three out started to run in but he saw
But Daly and Joe Demis be covering third and he had a little surprise look on his face
Happens once in a while to figure out how many out there are
Two out that'll bring our belts in hard
Hours one for three bounce out short to first twice a single of center
Captain betting three twenty nine
Frank House out in the mouth talking with what Daly
Two away
That's just as far down a third base line going out in the Yankee bullpen
One strike on Ellie the Google who let off the inning with a double still down a second base
The first ball is outside ball one one one
The stretch the catch is not far out of play and back up first one ball two strikes
One ball two strikes two out
Daly checks the sign
Now it gets tired of waiting steps out of the box
Ellie steps back in the box for ready to go two out four to one for every Yankee
That's it slowly out towards short house with cuts in front of the shortstop
The first in time for the out so for the Yankees in the top of the eighth no runs on one hit
Kansas City errors one man left the score at the end of seven and a half innings of play
Yankees for Kansas City one Valentine Bear is a crisp refresher and we'll tell you why
Valentine Bear is a crisp refresher and we will tell you why
To be crisp a bear must be ice to be ice ice to be ice ice to be ice smooth and emission
To be my idol even funny someone play quickly squished realmente

Valentine beer their crisp refreshment yes sir it figures that a beer so fine would be

wow we're in the bottom of the eight Yankees lead 4 to 1 since embedding 245 takes the
curve low ball on the pitch is a ground ball out towards the man up with it flips under
here in the scour and it's two away two away and bill trouble who bounced out third to
first hit into a force plan bounced out short to first batting 237 two out nobody on in the
bottom of the eight or one outside son which has been hidden behind some clouds suddenly
pops out the wind up and the curve is low outside ball to tune up now let's pause for
a station identification if I was set at 1460 wokl first in old bennie new york and remember
the twilight roundup follows the game today with jack macname you're nothing to count
on bill subtle is wind up by mars this ball is low ball 3 3 nothing three balls no strikes
here's a three nothing pitch strike one call here's the wind up and the pitch is round ball
the short to back up over the scour and out number three for Kansas City in the bottom
of the eight no runs no hits no Yankee errors nobody left the score at the end of eight
the Yankees four and Kansas City one one favor the Yankees athletics are just two bases and
the score is one one in the seventh inning and on earned run quick look at the score

game coming up to enter is coming on for Kansas City he will be there third pitch with the
afternoon Ralph Terry started and now mill Allen will take over and now we're getting
to move into the main funding bill scowren Tony Kubek and Bobby Richardson are the first
three men to come to bat and for those who are watching on television if we talk a little
more than usual during the play we are doing a simulcast here just in the ninth inning
in order to give the bill time to get down to the Yankee clubhouse in case we may or may
not have something after this game big common a pitching to build scowren strike one these
have Maris and Lopez and serve all coming up in the night so the game's not over by any
means scowren lift a high foul out of play to the right of the plate strike two bill
five the center struck out and grounded the second hitting two seventy eight no balls
two strikes big common a third ace pitcher scowren swings and grounds one out the second
and it's through for a set off the club and Lopez he went over to his left man to get
a bit of a glove on it but couldn't hold it and it's a base it for builds carot now coming
up to school back to ground at the second top the third and grounded the first now smith
shortens up the third there's a strike a fastball in there nothing in one ninth inning New York
for Kansas City one back swing to lift the high foul on the left the alliance Smith and
to make me chasing it in smithy makes the catch going away who back fouls out to how
Smith has been playing a fine third base for a fellow who's caught most of the time now
Bobby Richardson grounded third single about them grounded the third hitting two nineteen
one dancing off first Richardson swings and lines it down the right field line strike
one nothing in one on Bobby do up next field is straight away now smith still short of
the third Richardson takes inside for a ball 21 but daily turned in a nice three innings
six seven to eight allowed two hits no runs Ralph Terry worked first five allowed four
hits and four runs Richardson swings a little foul ball out of play back first one ball two
strikes Washington and Chicago are tied to two at the end of two innings of the second
game Washington rather Chicago beat Washington in the first game Bobby Richardson takes a
high pitch for a two to count two balls two strikes Richardson hits a ground ball by a
third short and there's no play anywhere as the mainstream backs up the base hit but
it kept the ball going through the left and kept scouring for moving to third smash off
Smith's glove as the mainstream backing up neatly and now Duke Mars is the batter flying
to right sacrifice to the third strike do takes a look now see what case wants him to
do bank for setting the sign along Smith and Ward are shortened up with one out you have
to wonder it was nobody out you'd pretty well know what he was going to do the delivery
is by foul and by the plate strike one Mars has had five four forty five takes another
look at Corsetti know Impala actions the reason for the bar
to small bar doubly is one of theبل and no one started out on for first more swings
My swing hit the smith who throws on to second for one back to first that's due eight.
Going to third is Bill Scarran as Richardson helped nudge Lopez out to play a little.
Tell you one thing that was a good play by Smitty because Duke hits the ball real hard.
He throws out at second, Richardson. The damaging aspect from the fact that the ball didn't go through,
from the Yankee standpoint is that Mars had to run pretty hard.
I say that because pitching coaches, if you're ahead, they from the game they tell a pitcher,
don't run through, it takes some strength out of you.
Scarran comes up to hit the norm, Siebron.
Scarran, Hank Mauer.
Mauer hitting four, Siebron. They pitch to Hank as high, a ball one.
Mauer bang 271.
Go third and Mars on first. Moose and Mars aboard. No pitch. Time has asked for and called by Bill Summers.
One ball, no strikes.
Mauer out in the length of 41 New York. Hank Mauer swings and fouls it back out of play. Strike one, 21.
Dick Dominick on the mound. And now Mauer swings and loops one out over second and it is in there for a big fit.
Mars rounds second on his way to third as Scarran scores.
Hank Mauer comes through with a pinched signal to center and it's five to one New York.
Now Jim Turner signals his bullpen because Mars has had to run pretty hard in the thing.
Getting a little winded.
Hank Mauer drives in a run with a single to center.
It's 47. Run back again.
And now just about what I was telling you when Mars had to race to third, Jim Turner means he's got it.
He's signaled his bullpen and Ryan Duren is up. Right now, Bill McDougal is at plate.
Walk, homers, doubles, down at the shore.
McDougal takes the fast ball first strike. Getting 251.
Bill McDougal. There's a pitch out, nobody's running. One in one.
One ball, one strike, two outs. Five to one New York, nine-thinning.
McDougal swings the lifters. They've got a good cut of the good fast ball. One and two.
Ryan Duren loosening up.
Mars on third, power on first.
One ball, two strikes on McDougal.
And Gill takes inside, two to. Jominick crowded him.
Two balls, two strikes, two outs, two outs. Game one of two.
Runners lead away. And McDougal swings and grounds it to short.
The maistria put it, throws on over to Lopez to force power.
And the sides retired. One run, three hits, no errors, and two left on.
And the late-and-a-half, I think, is New York five, Kansas City one.
You know, somebody asked you to describe a crisp for pressure in your own words.
When it goes something like this, you'd say,
well, a crisp for pressure is like that wonderful morning swim
when I'm on a summertime vacation up at the lake.
The air is so clear and clean, the water so sparkling and inviting.
The whole thing's so refreshing that, well, that's the way I describe it,
because for pressure.
Well, now, if you said that, you've just done a great job of describing
the kind of refreshment you get with Valentine beer.
Because Valentine beer is the crisp for pressure.
You can prove that by pouring yourself a cool foaming glass bowl.
Look at it. See how golden and clear it is.
And then taste it. Taste how smooth and delicious it is.
And then, the swallow reminds you of the refreshment of that morning swim in the lake
or maybe of a punch into the surf on a summer day.
That's crisp refreshment.
The special kind of refreshment that's made Valentine the largest selling beer in the East.
How about enjoying a tall foaming glass of Valentine beer right now?
Thank you.
The last time for the late-and-a-half in Kansas City,
one that could be another historic one.
On the other hand, that moment could be delayed.
Roger Maras is the first batter, Hector Lopez on deck and Bob served the bottle.
Ryan Durham, warming up to the bullpen.
Keith Mars, slow coming out.
Having been on the bases.
Interactionally.
You know, a lot of people don't realize how much
it's taken out of a pitcher, working a ball game,
and now in the late innings when he has to run hard,
take the little bit out of the legs.
And that's what's important, the old underpinning.
The underpinning is what makes a fellow stand up, so to speak.
And no pun intended.
He's going to get weak in the leg before that ball doesn't do tricks he wanted to do.
So we'll see now as Roger Maras steps in.
Hank Bauer is in right field, and Slaughter has switched over to left.
Roger Maras applied to right, center, grounded,
the second was hit by Pitch-Ball.
Mr. Holmram, the first inning by a little bit, went foul.
Spike Warns.
Keith Mars.
I know what he's given for Yoss right now.
He's a great thrill for a guy to just join the ball club in short time ago.
He's a great player outside, ball one-on-one.
Roger Maras swings and grounds it to Scowern, who tosses to Mars covering in time,
and there's one away.
The hard ground ball, well tagged ball, one down.
And here's Hector Lopez, who twice grounded to third, and once grounded to short.
Then into a double play, hitting 259.
Last night, Yanks 5-A's Wart.
Ryan Durin, who he'll bring up in the bullpen.
Hector Lopez, the batters serve on Deccan Ward.
Follow him, if anyone gets on.
Ball one inside.
Lopez swings and lands it foul over the Yankee bullpen in the left field.
Strike one-on-one.
Oh, they have a lot of scenes they chase that one first over here.
The ball is a 30th batter.
One ball, one strike.
There's a high foul off first down, and Dicks after, still going after, still going after,
and he's getting dropped it.
He's got himself a day-to-day, I'll tell you that.
That's an error for Scaram.
Four balls, and only three errors have been charged to Yankee.
He makes a big difference to a fellow out there trying to put it away for you.
One ball, two strikes.
Strike one-on-one.
Big five on Deccan.
The end of the dirt, ball two-two-two.
Two balls, two strikes.
Dicks after Lopez, at the plate, and Lopez swings and hits a base hit through the middle.
The third hit, ball pause, and the first man to get a hit other than DeMaster,
you have the only other two hits.
Here's Bob's serve, blind to center, walk, and reach second on a two-base center by Sebert.
He's got a serve hitting 3-4-10.
They are by the loose, keeps the pressure on, and Lopez taking advantage of the life to get himself a base hit.
Sebert swings and misses.
He stepped into a pitch, and he went with, and by the plate, and he deep-tagged, and he padded, and that one.
Preston Moore gone back.
He's given that ball plumb out of sight.
Lopez with a lead.
Bob's serve takes his 35th home run, and drives in his 97th and 98th runs.
Casey now is taking Mars out and going to bring Duran in.
Now, the thing is, it's a tough break for the Duke.
He could have been operating with two outs in the serve, but it would have made a big difference.
Duran is coming in, but just one out, one more man gets on the time runs at the plate.
The Duke Mars, who pitched two hit balls to the 9th inning, one run scored on two errors, gives up two hits.
After a third error here on the 9th inning, has given Lopez another shot, and he's single.
Mars, an 8th and a 3rd innings, allows four hits, walks one land, no strikeouts, and has given up three runs, two of them are in.
And deserves a real hand.
Young man turned in himself a great performance.
The better defense, which he would normally get, he didn't get today, and he's leaving through the accompaniment of a bomb.
The oldie bearer goes over and can't shoot on the back. He's leaving and he gets the ball to the end.
Ryan Duran coming in for the 39th time this year, the record of 6-4.
The American plate, now 54 New York, now 26.
Ryan Duran.
What really should have been a real easy game for Mars was, at the present time, it's been turned into a tough one.
Preston Ward is the batter and Hal Smith, scheduled to follow.
Kent Handley, down on deck, to get for Hal Smith.
Right now, Preston Ward.
Flying to right center, flying to center, and we're safe on an airbound to Kissel.
One out in the ninth inning, Kieran's in. Ward swings and misses, strike one.
Now field round to the right.
Duran works very slowly.
Preston Ward takes inside for a ball, one and one.
One ball, one strike.
Preston Ward swings and pounces back for strike two, one and two.
Whitey Ford and Bob Grimm in the second game, which will be on radio only due to two hour difference in time and conflicting schedules.
One ball, two strikes.
Duran the Rosenbach.
He works very slowly.
Ward dicks in, and Ward takes high for ball two, two-two.
Lippmann-Dixon, leading up.
Two balls, two strikes.
Preston Ward takes inside to Bargo's back to the screen, ball three.
The ball counts now, and Casey is going out to talk to Duran.
He's going to see what Duran is like.
He's asking Duran something.
He's going to see what Duran is like.
Three balls, two strikes.
And the crowd is darting to Rourke.
Preston Ward takes very high, ball four, and brings the tying run to the plate.
Tom Gorman, warming up for Kansas City.
And Casey's on the steps now.
Kent Hadley is coming up to bat for Hal Smith.
Hadley.
Now from Little Rock where he hit 34 homers.
Hadley left hand batter.
And he takes high, ball one.
Casey and Jim Turner up in front of the dugout now.
The wheels are really spinning the other direction now.
Hadley swings and misses.
Frank Ward, one-and-one.
Frank House on deck.
Duran and Dittmar warming up.
Hadley are waiting to pitch.
Swings and misses strike two, one-and-two.
And the line is running one-and-one on two ends, five-three New York.
Kent Hadley hitting for Smith.
Hadley takes high, ball two, two-two.
Two balls, two strikes.
Preston Ward leading off first.
Hadley digs in.
And it is in there for 12 strike three.
Two went out.
And here's Frank House.
And it's the eighth.
Now Spatsman left-handed.
Duran taking a long look for the sign.
Ward moving off first, unmolested.
Ball one, half-five.
One ball, no strikes.
House digging in.
High ball two, two-nothing.
Casey and Jim Turner talking things over.
Nixon and Dittmar getting ready.
Two-nothing count on House.
Inside ball three, three-nothing.
Jim Turner signaling for Dittmar.
He's up and hurry.
They're fair down and he's warming up.
And it's ball four.
House ball.
And Casey's out of the dugout.
Ward goes to second.
And we're going to have a runner.
A runner for House.
And we're going to have a finch hitter for Demastry.
Milton Grant is going to run for House.
And Art Dittmar is coming in to relieve Duran.
And he's going to run for House.
And the Yankee baseball games are brought to you by Valentine Burenail and Atlantic
gasoline companies exclusively in the Capital District of WOKO 1460, first in Albany, New York.
And Harry Cheedy is going to hit for Demastry.
Harry Cheedy coming up to hit for Demastry.
Art Dittmar taking his warm-up pitches with Howard.
Harry Cheedy.
And so here in the last of the line, funding with the Yankees, at leading five to one,
the A's have rallied for two.
Dittmar's got the first man out and then one scarring dropped a foul pop for an arrow.
And Lopez took advantage of it.
The single and serve fall over the homer.
Duran walked Ward, struck out badly, but walked House, graphed running for it.
And Harry Cheedy's up and represents the winning run.
Ward on second and Grant on first running for House.
Harry Cheedy swings and fouls it off strike one, fouling it off to the left of the plate.
Art Dittmar taking his 33rd appearance.
Duran is leaving away from first and second.
And it's inside, ball one, one and one.
Ward leads off second, graph off first.
Harry Cheedy takes strike two, third ball one and two.
Ward moves off second, graph off first.
Duran takes in and Cheedy swings and misses, break three, the Yankees win the penalty.
Duran takes the third ball, and the Yankees win the penalty.
