00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:17,000
On October 4, 1977, the Philadelphia Phillies faced the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium for Game 1 of the 1977 NLCS.

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Philadelphia had won 101 games for the second consecutive season under manager Danny Ozark,

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,000
and they were returning back to the NLCS after being swept by the Reds in 1976.

5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Los Angeles was managed by Tommy LaSorda in his first full season with the Dodgers after taking over from Walt Ulston at the end of the 1976 season.

6
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:42,000
The Dodgers had a great team throughout the 1970s but finished in second place in the NLCS in sixth of the past seven seasons.

7
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:49,000
This audio recording is from the CBS Radio broadcast featuring announcer Ralph Kiner and Jerry Coleman.

8
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:56,000
So, Big McBride stepping up into the batter's box, making the lead opposition at 3-16 for the area,

9
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:04,000
15-home run, 61 runs vetted in, has great speed, a left-hand batter in the first pitch, breaking ball of time inside for ball one.

10
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:13,000
So the game underway. Tommy John in the regular season had 11 complete games, with three shutouts.

11
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,000
And at 1-0, the pitch back to McBride, locked over the first baseman, set a base hit into right field.

12
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Moving over to field at Reggie Smith, he bobbles the ball, McBride started to go to second base,

13
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
put on a brace, when Smith, who has a great arm, fired it into second base.

14
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,000
No McBride has single the right field as the game just underway and the batter coming up will be Larry Ball.

15
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
The throw by Smith, Ralph, was something we couldn't see last year.

16
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
He had an operation in the offseason and that certainly has made a difference.

17
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000
One of the great arms in baseball, one of the outstanding talents in the game today.

18
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Reggie Smith started his career with a Boston Red Sox, came to the Dodgers from the St. Louis Cardinals.

19
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000
And Tommy John from the set position, here's the pitch.

20
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,000
It is bunnidon and fouled out of the dirt.

21
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Boy had 2-8 in the regular season with four home runs and 41 runs vetted in.

22
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Nobody's led the National League in team betting with a team betting average of $2.79.

23
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,000
They had 186 home runs, they had 135 stolen bases, had 68 men thrown out.

24
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Now John, ready again, here's the pitch.

25
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
And a fastball ground of the court, ball filled by Bill Wusser,

26
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
and on the first base a double play.

27
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Russell, the baby loop, on the derby on the Dodgers day, it went from crick to crack.

28
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
And on to Popeye, the nicknames of the infielders.

29
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
That third base the thing went.

30
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000
And though the base hitters erased, and that'll bring up Mike Smith.

31
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
I just led the National League in double plays this year.

32
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Tough to double up, Larry Boy, he has that good speed.

33
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Last three years, Mike Smith led the National League in home runs.

34
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000
This year he was beaten.

35
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:06,000
George Foster had 52, Mike had 38, his teammate Greg Luzimki had 39.

36
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
And Smith takes the first base, lowest ball one.

37
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Smith hit it 274 this year with 101 RBI.

38
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Something you might be interested in, Ralph, Mike Smith had 14 home runs in June to tie your record.

39
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
That's back in 1947.

40
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,000
I was splitting that one out, Gary.

41
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000
14 home runs in the month of June.

42
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Mike Smith had an injury in a fight that really delayed some of his progress this year.

43
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
And a ground ball hit to the shortstop.

44
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Russell, it's deep as short.

45
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Russell backs up those wide the first base in Smith.

46
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,000
And it's late, Barbie arguing that he came off the bag and made the pass.

47
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000
What first plays umpire, Bob Engel, disagreeing with Garvey.

48
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,000
That'll be an error charged to Mill Russell the shortstop.

49
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
And the Phillies have a run around with Greg Luzimki coming up.

50
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,000
When you've got speed like Mike Smith and you start backing up on the ball,

51
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000
that's what Russell did, you've got a big problem on your head and that's tough to display.

52
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Had to hurry the throw and the throw was wild.

53
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,000
There's a threat as a base runner, he's had 15 solo bases.

54
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,000
What's the big ball?

55
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Greg Luzimki the batter and the first base to Luzimki has chopped foul down the third base side.

56
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Luzimki, wrong candidate for the most valuable player in the National League.

57
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Batted 309 with 39 home runs, 130 runs batted in.

58
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000
We're seeing a pattern here of what Tommy John does best, Ralph Kiner,

59
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,000
that's the big ball on the ground and if those big fluggers keep trying to pull that little fade away fastball and change up,

60
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
they're going to be in for trouble with that.

61
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Reminds me a little bit of Eddie Lopot.

62
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:58,000
One strike count, the Greg Luzimki and Tommy John with his next pitch of breaking ball all on inside.

63
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Luzimki with a hard swing over the top of it.

64
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:15,000
So now Tommy John reading the sign from his catcher, Jager and the pitch back to the plate is a fastball.

65
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:21,000
It's all the first base in the dirt is taken by Garvey and an error is saved.

66
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Garvey holds the record for few of the errors in the National League in a single season with three.

67
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,000
He is a fine fielding first baseman.

68
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:39,000
The player is calling Popeye for his muscles but he can handle that glove.

69
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,000
One ball, two strike counts.

70
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Tommy John a triple look at first base, mid-running, the ball is hit in the air to center field,

71
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:56,000
deep center field going back is Glenn Burke, it's going, going, it has gone, goodbye.

72
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Greg Luzimki with a home run and the filly is laid by a score of 2 to nothing.

73
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000
When he opened up the gate to the Philadelphia filly with a Luzimki up there,

74
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:17,000
that third out on the missed play by Bill Russell and Dr. Kurchap turned into two runs with Philadelphia.

75
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000
That could be critical before the afternoon is over.

76
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Two runs are unearned in the course of the regular season, Tommy John gave up only 12 home runs.

77
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Luzimki had a total of 39.

78
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000
So the filly is leading by a score of 2 to nothing and Dave Johnson coming up.

79
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Johnson batted 320 for the year, he's playing first base tonight, right hand battered,

80
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
and the first pitch is outside of ball.

81
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Dave Johnson holds the record for most home runs by a second baseman, 43.

82
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000
During that with the Atlanta Braves, he played in Japan for a couple of years

83
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,000
and then came back to the station, the filly picked him up and signed him as a free agent.

84
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:00,000
That home run given up by Tommy John, the first four to fillies this year,

85
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:13,000
and the left hander back and he is outside and low, two balls and one strike.

86
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,000
And now Tommy back and missing again at 3-1.

87
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:25,000
In the course of the regular season, Tommy John walked only 50 batters, three of them on purpose,

88
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,000
in 220 innings and his next pitch is ground as slowly to the shortstop, Bill Russell,

89
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,000
who feels it throws the first base and the side is retired.

90
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000
But in the ending two runs they were unearned on two hits,

91
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,000
a big home run by Greg Luzimki, one error and no one left on base.

92
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,000
The score after one half, I mean the fillies two and the Dodgers coming up.

93
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,000
It's like for a moment or two that Tommy John would get out of it after giving up a lead off

94
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
single and double play and an error, that's it.

95
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,000
And like Frankie Fish has said, the walks and the errors will kill you.

96
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Well, big Greg Luzimki, the fillies said earlier before the ball game

97
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,000
that he figured that last year's playoff experience gives his team the edge.

98
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Yeah, I think definitely, I think last year's playoff really helped us.

99
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000
I think the same guys are back this year, they're going to be on the field

100
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000
and we went through that playoff and it was a little bit of a different experience for us,

101
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
a little bit of pressure on us.

102
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,000
That's where the pressure amount is in the playoff because you have to win a playoff to go to the series

103
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,000
and we feel that it's our advantage that we're up around the road this time

104
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000
and we will finish off with three at home.

105
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Comments from the ball, big Greg Luzimki, he clobbered one.

106
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,000
They got Schmidt, but they couldn't get the other half of that power combination

107
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,000
of Schmidt and Luzimki.

108
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,000
So now Steve Carlson, 20 game winner, getting settled amount

109
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:51,000
as he will be pitching to the home team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, as we go back to LA Stadium.

110
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:58,000
After the first half ending of play, we just tuned in.

111
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,000
The toy loft, he had slowly picked up a couple of runs.

112
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,000
With two down, Mike Schmidt was saved by the shortstop Bill Russell

113
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,000
and then Greg Luzimki popped one over that center field wall 400 feet away

114
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,000
and the Phillies were on top, do nothing.

115
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,000
We go to the Dodgers first, but spring back Ralph Geiger.

116
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,000
In the course of the season, each team won six games of the 12 play.

117
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,000
The Phillies did not do well here.

118
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:27,000
They were 2-4 in this ballpark against the Dodgers and at home, they reversed that.

119
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:32,000
A.B. Loafs deleted off, batted 283 for the regular season, a right hand batter,

120
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,000
a lead and the first pick by Steve Carleton, who swung on and grounded foul.

121
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Carleton with a record of 23 wins and 10 losses, the most in the major league.

122
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000
He was one-on-one against the Philadelphia Phillies.

123
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,000
He had an earn run average of 2.64 in the season.

124
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,000
There's a drive to left field Luzimki going over and he makes the catch.

125
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,000
A big goal, running hard and far to his left, actually got up with that ball

126
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
and had to catch it right in front of his body.

127
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000
So a hard out as Loafs lines to left field.

128
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,000
That will bring up Bill Russell with a shortstop.

129
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Russell batted 278 with four home runs and 51 RBI's, started his career as an outfielder.

130
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,000
And the first pick by Steve Carleton, a call strike.

131
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Carleton had 17 complete games this year, picked two shutouts,

132
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:30,000
worked 283 innings, gave up 89 walks, struck out 198 in a line 25 home run.

133
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
One ball and one strike as Carleton comes back inside.

134
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000
He worked fast. Here's the pitch back to the plate, a curve ball that hangs high.

135
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,000
His catcher Tim McCarver, McCarver catching every game that Carleton pickers.

136
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,000
He caught him when he were both with a St. Louis Cardinal.

137
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Then he comes back inside and misses for ball three.

138
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Carleton against the Dodgers this year, 1-1 and lost one.

139
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,000
And the next pitch is popped up in the shallow center field, coming hard as McBride.

140
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000
And he is there and he makes the catch.

141
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,000
At least playing without the services of Gary Maddox who batted 293.

142
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Maddox an excellent center fielder. McBride also is an outstanding center fielder.

143
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Maddox injured the knee and he is not available for this game and maybe not for a couple more.

144
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,000
That will bring up Reggie Smith who batted 307 in the regular season.

145
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,000
He's home runs, 87 runs batted in.

146
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Reggie is a split hitter and the first pitch is a curve ball, too low for a ball.

147
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,000
In one game Carleton lost to the Dodgers. He was wild. He walked six and six innings.

148
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Gave a free hit, loud four runs.

149
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Rick Rodin was the one he pictured that much. Now ball two, two balls and no strikes.

150
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Smith holds the bat high. Pitch back is fouled back.

151
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:57,000
He's a ball up around the letter. Two balls and one.

152
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Carleton 32 years of age from Chesapeake, Missouri.

153
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,000
And the next pitch is grounded foul for the count of two and two.

154
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,000
In 1972 he won 27 and lost 10.

155
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,000
But 310 strikeouts his way this year.

156
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Now the left hander back and a curve ball is gone over and that's strike three.

157
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Carleton's first strikeout and he has retired this side in order.

158
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,000
And the score at the end of one, the Phillies still and the Dodgers nothing.

159
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
They're shaped up as a pitcher's side.

160
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Only it still could be even though the Phillies were off to a two nothing lead with that two run homer by Luzinsky.

161
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Before the game the Dodgers Tommy John figured that he'd have to pitch an exceptional game tonight to beat the Phillies.

162
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:43,000
You have to be on the top of your game. There's no question about that.

163
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,000
I don't think I can pitch from behind in count.

164
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,000
I don't think I can pitch two or no.

165
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:57,000
I think I've got to pitch out in front and hopefully try to get them to chase some bad pitches because they're a very, very intelligent ball club.

166
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:09,000
And I don't know. I think I would have to pitch a kind of game that I pitched against Siever down in Cincinnati tonight that I'd be treated to on the first game of four game series.

167
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:18,000
And I'll have to pitch that kind of a game and you know, you cannot beat any ball club in the National League by pitching a poor game and especially when you pitch one of the best team in the East.

168
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:23,000
And comments from the Dodgers pitcher tonight lefty Tommy John.

169
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:31,000
We've gone through one inning of play here. The Dodgers and the Phillies Dodger Stadium and the Phillies sitting on top two nothing.

170
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Steve Carls had a remarkable pitcher in 1977 with a record of 23 and 10 and yet with all of that he has not been effective on the road.

171
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:45,000
He's got a record of 17 and 3 at veteran stadium in Philadelphia and 16 on the road.

172
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,000
So when he loses Rob Tanner is usually on the road but after that first inning it didn't look too bad.

173
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:55,000
The Phillies are very tough at home and they are now playing on the road.

174
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:02,000
The first batter for the Phillies in the top of the second inning will be Jerry Martin playing right field. Martin batted 260.

175
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,000
He is a platoon player. He alternates with J. Johnson most of the time.

176
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Wayne in today's game because of himatic not being able to play.

177
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Field now has been completely blocked out. There are no sun spots on the field.

178
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:28,000
There's no difficulty right now from the sun. Playing this ball game right now at 5.33 Los Angeles time.

179
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:34,000
They make a lot about the dust problem here just between daylight and darkness.

180
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Is there that much of a factor in your mind really?

181
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:43,000
I think probably the only real problem would be an high pop of fly balls if you do have a tendency to lose.

182
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,000
But at the plate with the modern day life I don't think it means that much difference.

183
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Well they were giving the Phillies the edge or many baseball experts were because of Carl this big curve ball at speed

184
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,000
and yet the odds make there's a lot to think. You see the dodgers are going to do it.

185
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:03,000
You know the one thing Jerry when I was playing I had trouble with when you did play in twilight was the change of speed.

186
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Off speed or breaking ball right.

187
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Now we're ready to go. Jerry Martin stepped into the baddest match and Tommy John with his first pitch.

188
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:19,000
And he catches that outside corner with a might what it might be called a screwball.

189
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:27,000
It's sort of a half way screwball not as slow as a screwball that normally is thrown by a screwball pitcher like Tom McGrath.

190
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:32,000
That's called straightens Martin back and it's one ball and one strike.

191
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:38,000
And Tommy John comes back outside. He likes to work low on outside. Two balls and one strike.

192
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:46,000
He's nine and three and Dodgers stadium. It's free shutout.

193
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:55,000
And the next pitch to Martin swung on and grounded foul. He has won 14 of his last 17.

194
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:00,000
And he is six and oh here at home against the Eastern Division clubs.

195
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:05,000
The Phillies are from the Eastern Division of course with the Dodgers representing the Western Division.

196
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:12,000
The game of the fast ball is strike three. Martin struck out. Tommy John first and it brings up Tim McCarver.

197
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Carver a left hand batter hitting 320 for the year with six home runs and 30 runs.

198
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Better and left hand catcher. He actually was released by the Boston Red Sox and he called the Philadelphia Phillies up for a job to be a broadcaster.

199
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:36,000
They said we don't need any broadcasters but we need a backup catcher and they brought him in and he had caught all the games that Carlton pitches.

200
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:44,000
And here's the first pitch to call strike. Phillies have won only one full season game in their history.

201
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,000
They won and played in the World Series of 1915 and lost four to one.

202
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:58,000
In 1950 the Wills kids lost four straights to the Yankees and last year Cincinnati defeated them three straight in the playoffs.

203
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:08,000
And it fits for a strike so it strikes two and now Tommy John back low on inside one ball and two strikes.

204
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Dodgers have a long record of course of being in World Series and that curve ball is one on a miss.

205
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Two on a roll for Tommy John. That'll bring up this size more.

206
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Get that at 281 in the regular season with full run and 47 runs better than the umpires for this game.

207
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,000
We have six of them all prior behind home plate Bob Engle at first base.

208
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Terry Wendell Stad is second. Bruce Brome in the third Dutch runner that the left field station and Paul Runge.

209
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:51,000
And the right field station. Size more of right hand batter and Tommy John with his first delivery and he gets the call strike.

210
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:57,000
One strike job. Phillies leading two to nothing on a two run home run by Greg Lozinski.

211
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:03,000
In a curve ball at center dirt it bounces away from the catcher Steve Yeager and the catcher 1-1.

212
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Then he's home run way over the center field fence when he gets the bat on it it goes.

213
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:16,000
He is an awesome slugger.

214
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,000
One ball and one strike and Tommy John back to work.

215
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:26,000
And it's by the end of the third base line foul the ball picks up Justin Foul character.

216
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Size more of running ahead of Steve Carlton with two men out but there is a fairly good explanation for that. Carlton is a good hitting pitcher.

217
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Not only that size more may have a little word on what's going on around here.

218
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,000
He played for the Dodgers last year. They got his big break of first win day's catch.

219
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Came back in the re-entry draft and what's the Montreal Phillies needed a second baseman desperately and played it for the Dodgers where four size more for Johnny Yoke.

220
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,000
So he has to get a big break. He's playing this year whereas last year he was watching.

221
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:08,000
That size more started with the Dodgers was rookie of the year went to the same bill as Cardinals was traded back to the Dodgers and then when he was not playing he has to be traded and went to the Philadelphia Phillies and he has been an asset to the Phillies.

222
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:23,000
One ball and two strikes as size more gets back into the batter's box. Here's the pitch and Ted takes it outside. It's two balls and two strikes.

223
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:29,000
And now Tommy John back and the next delivery is grounded over the top of the mound coming up the field with his bill ruffling.

224
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:41,000
He feels it just in front of the bag at second and throws the first base for the outfield and the score at the end of one and a half and he's a Phillies two and the Dodgers nothing.

225
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:49,000
Roger Skipper, Tomulus sort of feels the team has been consistent most of the season and that was the key to the Western Division title.

226
00:19:49,000 --> 00:20:00,000
It's a great character. It's a team that's really played hard all year. They never make too many mistakes. They know how to play the game.

227
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:15,000
They do the little things that it takes to win. They execute the game fundamentally and they've got a lot of courage. They've got a lot of togetherness and this is something that I've said about them the entire season.

228
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:28,000
They've got a lot of desire. They believe they can win and they can do the job. So I think the answer is that when you get the ability and capacity together then you have a good ball club and that's what they did.

229
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Dodgers manager Tommy Lestora, I'd make a Jimmy DeGree. He's tabbed the Dodgers and the Yankees to playoff favorites.

230
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Dodgers listed the six to five favorites to win this opener tonight and he's picking the Yankees to open home on Wednesday against Kansas City at 7-5 for the first game.

231
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Jerry Coleman and the first batter will be Ron Sey for the Dodgers. They'll have the two runs on two hits and the Dodgers have no runs and no hits.

232
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:09,000
These draw them, we've got the Dodgers in order in the first inning and now the first batter for LA will be Ron Sey. Sey ended the year in terrible shape. He went old for 31 to drop as that was down to 241.

233
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:26,000
He set a record in the month of April when he drove in 29 runs. The whole time high for runs driven in an April. Got off to a fantastic start and like most baseball players, he reached the level.

234
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Ron Sey did not play in the lineup game and now home plate umpire Paul Fier is looking at his back. Dodgers have already lost one to the umpire.

235
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:47,000
When the Lassey had the home plate area all doctored up and the umpire said no, you got too much dirt there, take it off.

236
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Sey stepped into the batter's box. The first pitch by Carlton was low at ball one. Carlton has won 191 games in his major league career, started with St. Louis Cardinals.

237
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:06,000
And the pitch back of fastball on the outside part of the plate at the knees is one ball and one strike. Right time against the Dodgers, he has won 12 and lost 9.

238
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Sey's a curve ball, a hard slider more than a curve and it's inside for a ball. 2-1. Carlton with the big overhand curve, a hard slider and a good fastball.

239
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Sey comes back inside with a slider and Sey. Grounds is fouled on the third base side. Ron Sey with 30 home runs on the 100-gen RBI for the year.

240
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:46,000
In at 2-2, the big left hander back to the plate. A back ball line, Sey makes a turn at first base and holds there and the Dodgers have their first batter on.

241
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:57,000
You might mention Ralph about the examination of the bat. You can have no form left that's more than 18 inches to the bottom of the bat and that may be what the umpire was checking on.

242
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Also, there can be no bruise in the hitting surface of the bat and it cannot be flattened out. Sey passed the test, he kept the bat so it is all alright.

243
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:15,000
So Sey is on and Steve Garvey coming up and the first pitch to Garvey, a half swing he went too far. It's a swinging strike.

244
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Garvey has hit in 14 of his last 18 games coming to the series and over that period he batted 4-36, the raises average to 2-97.

245
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:33,000
The led the Dodgers in home runs with 33 the most by any Dodger in Los Angeles and he drove in 115 runs.

246
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:40,000
Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958 and the next pitch is rounded foul right off the end of the bat.

247
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Carlton has a two strike count on the dangerous Steve Garvey. Once again Carlton steps up, checks the runner at first base and the pitch.

248
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:16,000
That's all hit in the field, it will be a base hit. This is the second base in the hole there and the Dodgers have run into first and second in the low house.

249
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:29,000
The capacity crowd anticipating a time to rally. The Phillies ready to do nothing. Dusty Baker coming up. He hit in 17 of his last 18 games at 15 runs batted in.

250
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:39,000
And he has reached first base 44 of his last 45 games. Dusty Baker a great comeback here and he takes the first pitch to call strength.

251
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Baker batted 291 with 30 home runs and 86 RBI. There's quite a story about his 30th home run. Three Dodgers that had 30 home runs or more.

252
00:24:50,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Next pitch is taken high. A breaking ball is one ball and one strike. Dusty Baker if he could get one more home run on his 29 would become the fourth Dodger to have 30 or more home runs.

253
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:18,000
There's a swing in the midst and it's one and two. And he won a week trying to get it and finally in his last at bat he had a home run off JR Richards for his 30th and the Dodgers had an all time record of having four ball players with 30 or more home runs.

254
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:30,000
No other team has done that. One ball two strikes. Steve Carlton in a jam comes back with a curve ball. It's grounded foul.

255
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:39,000
I caught the Macarver before the ball game route and I asked him would he be in trouble. That is Steve Carlton if he didn't have a curve he said yes but he'll have it.

256
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:53,000
He's been getting the curve ball over course. It's hard for any pitcher to win on just two pitches even if you've been drawn harder than anybody else to pitch back as a new ball or putting players at bat ball just inside two and two.

257
00:25:53,000 --> 00:26:01,000
We have a message from the president of the National League, Chuck Vinnie regarding the home plate discussion prior to the game.

258
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Yampard thought the ground was too soft in front of the home plate and they asked the head ground keeper to remove the excess dirt.

259
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Now a high pop up and foul territory. Playable for the first baseman Dave Johnson and he makes the catch.

260
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:24,000
So one away and that'll bring up the centerfielder Glen Burke who is a rookie. Burke was brought up during the season and batted 254.

261
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Rick Mundy who was the starting centerfielder for the Dodgers had a lot of back problems and he was not able to play during the minor stage of the season.

262
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:43,000
He did get back into action near the end of it and Glen Burke playing in center field in his first playoff game.

263
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Burke had one home run in 13 for the year. He has good speed and the first pitch by Carlson is taken high a breaking ball ball one.

264
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:01,000
Well he's leading two to nothing. The Dodgers with runners at first and second. One man up. We're in the bottom half of the sixth inning.

265
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:11,000
And a pick back again the curve ball. It's outside. Two balls no strike.

266
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:22,000
And the left hander sets up again. Here's the pitch. Fastball foul back. On the two old county he got the fastball.

267
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Burke was behind it and fouls it back.

268
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:41,000
Once again the left hander ready and the pitch is a fastball hit the center field. Back is McBride. He is under it. The runner is halfway and he makes the catch.

269
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,000
And say goes back to second base. And Garvey back to first.

270
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Sooner than away and the batter will be the catcher of Steve Garvey.

271
00:27:51,000 --> 00:28:02,000
And last Sunday's ball game Jaeger was in the on deck circle and a bat shattered and hit him in the head and knocked him unconscious.

272
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:16,000
And they took him to the hospital but he was alright. Earlier in his career he was almost killed while bats were half of it sucked near his jugger vein in the throat and they had to do a very serious operation.

273
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Steve Jaeger and he takes the first pitch a call strike. Throughout that half of San Diego that bat actually impaled him and it took six hours to remove the splinter.

274
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Very close to casualty in baseball. Jaeger is a rugged type catcher and he is a good one. One strike down. Time's up. The home plate on fire. Paul Farah now Jaeger out of the box is back in.

275
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:52,000
And Garvin ready to go. And his one strike did. Popped up out into shallow right field. Actually right on the edge of the outfield.

276
00:28:52,000 --> 00:29:10,000
And Garvin is back into the ball of Tysenor. He ain't put it away. So after back to back singles with no one out in a second. Garvin comes back to retire the side with no run.

277
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:22,000
In outfielder J. Johnstone figured a split at LA will give the Phillies an edge coming back to veteran stadium. He went two and two to Dusty Baker and that's as far as he wanted to go.

278
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Had he gone with runners at first and second nobody out and Baker up there. He said man we're going to go for the downs right now. No one's going to but. We're going to see what we can do with it.

279
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:40,000
He might be second guessing himself a little bit but when you got a guy that hit 30 home runs you go for the big inning and that's what happens.

280
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:46,000
So as we go through the first two innings of play it's Philadelphia's two. Jaeger's nothing.

281
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Here in the top of the third the leadoff batter four the fiddled out of the Phillies will be Steve Carlton.

282
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:08,000
Carlton a good hitting pitcher will be betting against the left ender which might take some of the advantage that he would have as a pitcher away.

283
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Tommy John completing his warm up pitches.

284
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Carlton's two sixty eight betting averages looks as good as some that I see the play every day. He's good with that back and he can hit the ball out of the ballpark.

285
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:45,000
And a ball game back on August 7th against the Dodgers really wanted three to one with Carlton on the mound. He had two hits and drove in one of the runs and now it's Tommy John with the first pitch of curve and it's popped up out in the shallow right field.

286
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Loeb's going back he's the only one there and he had trouble with it. It's wrapped in.

287
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:59,000
Going back no left no right fielder no center fielder and looks at the only goal at it and he was turned in the wrong direction and couldn't get his job on it.

288
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:09,000
Well if I think both the right fielder Reggie Smith and the center fielder Glenn Burson seated that play too soon and suddenly Loeb found himself as the only man around it.

289
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Cliff may have had a shot at it he come all the way or Loeb wasn't quite sure what to do.

290
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:22,000
The other option might be Jerry that in the twilight the one thing that you really do have trouble with is finding the ball in the air. They might not have seen it.

291
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:36,000
So Carlton is on. It is scored as a base hit and the Phillies have a run around with no one out and Bakeman's bride batting for the second time and bride single this first time up.

292
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:43,000
The end of the season with a 12 game hitting three.

293
00:31:43,000 --> 00:32:00,000
The bride hit three 16 for the year and with the Philadelphia Phillies he batted over three 30 came with the Phillies from the St. Louis Cardinals for Tom Underwood and the first pitches inside a breaking ball right on the corner called strike.

294
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Nobody's leading two to nothing two runs on three at the Dodgers have no runs on two.

295
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:20,000
No one out in the top of the third and Tommy John with his next delivery and he tries a curve ball to miss his outside ball down around the knees one ball and one strike.

296
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:30,000
Tommy John was a comeback player of the year last year when he won 10 and lost 10 after going through a serious arm operation it was so serious it had never been done before.

297
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Now it's slow and the count two balls and one strike.

298
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:50,000
There he plays to ruptured ligament in his left elbow with an tendon from his right forearm.

299
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:59,000
And after the 10 and 10 year last year he has won 20 and lost seven this year. Now it's a two ball and two strikes.

300
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:11,000
In 1974 when the Dodgers played the Pittsburgh Pirates in the championship series Tommy John throughout the first ball with his right hand left hand was in a sling because of the operation.

301
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:21,000
And now a high pop up the right field Reggie Smith sees this one makes a routine catch and McBride is out.

302
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:31,000
He will bring up Larry Ball ball grounded into a double play his first time up and he is a tough man to double.

303
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:44,000
When Tommy John accepted his award for being the comeback player of the year his opening line was I hope I never get one of these things again.

304
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Ball betting from the right hand side against the left hander say the third baseman about 80 feet away to guard against the possibility of a bun in the first pitch on the outside corner down around the knees it's a call strike.

305
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Carlton is not being held on by Steve Garvey the first baseman Garvey playing about four steps from the back.

306
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:15,000
One strike on a Tommy John comes back with a curveball he gets it over breaking off the strike two.

307
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Tommy John said that after that arm operation there was nothing that could phase him not even pitching in a situation like this he also plans to race in the Baja Road Race let's take a few.

308
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:39,000
This is a good one.

309
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:49,000
Long with Steve Carlton the one two pitch is grounded hard down the line backhand play by Ron say the third or second base is a one man throw but in time.

310
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:59,000
What a brilliant play.

311
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:08,000
That ball gone by say or had he missed it the Phillies have something rolling here with their big guys coming up but when he made that one that just broke the back of what looks like a voting rally.

312
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:19,000
That ball and foul territory with a backhand play of it had gone by with a man runners at least on second and third and the big batters Mike Smith and Greg Luzinski do up.

313
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Now Smith steps in the batter's box the runner at first base Larry Ball there he's a threat to steal had thirty two out of thirty five this year.

314
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:38,000
Two seventy four thirty eight home runs on one RBI and Tommy John with his first pitch and it's too low for ball.

315
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Tommy John is a number he likes to pitch around the strike zone to make you go after his pitch.

316
00:35:44,000 --> 00:36:05,000
For a stolen fifteen in a row and he had thirty two out of thirty five for the year the pitch back to Smith is fouled back in the stands and Smith looks as though he was trying to hit that ball to right field.

317
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:30,000
One ball one strike Tommy John working the pace going to down out this point really leading to nothing human out on the top of the third throw the first base and ball back easily little calling card throw nothing on it.

318
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:44,000
John moves out the dirt in front of the pitch and slam and now sets up checks the catcher sign goes to the threat and comes to the plate and Smith checks the swing and foul hits the ball in the catcher's block.

319
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,000
One and two.

320
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:55,000
An interesting side light here the defense with the defense they've got the outfield in the right center and the infield pulls on the left side it's rather unusual the guy like Schmidt who is a big pull hitter.

321
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:04,000
Really isn't usual because if he hits it he can hit it to left field with no problem he has a great quick back.

322
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:14,000
One and two and it's outside for ball two what that would mean to me Jerry Coleman is that they're going to fit him a lot of screwballs outside.

323
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:22,000
Randy Jones of the San Diego Padres has beaten the Phillies the last four times around and has given him one run in those four games.

324
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,000
John's a lot like Jones.

325
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Very close there goes the runner the pitch is going on in this and that's in the end.

326
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:32,000
Smith is struck out the third one for Tommy John.

327
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:40,000
Any one hit by the pitchers Steve Carroll and the runner left at first and the score at the end of two and a half and he's a Phillies two and the Dodgers have it.

328
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:47,000
Well Carlton got a slow start on that we look like he had plenty of time if he had a hustle and they got a big break being a pitcher on the bases.

329
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:54,000
The Phillies were almost unbeatable at home during a regular season with a 60 and 21 record.

330
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:02,000
An outfielder Jay Johnstone who's not playing tonight figures a split at Los Angeles will give the Phillies an edge coming back to veteran stadium.

331
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Our main objective is come away winning one of these games.

332
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:12,000
You know everyone would like to win two that's being very optimistic and of course you know it's a...

333
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:17,000
If we win one we go back to the three games to play here we got a pretty good chance.

334
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:29,000
Marty Springstead an American League umpire for 13 years and heading up the crew of six umpires for the American League championship series beginning Wednesday at Yankee stadium with New York meeting Kansas City.

335
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Springstead umpire previously in the 1970 and 74 American League playoffs as well as the 1973 World Series.

336
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Working with him will be Jerry Newdecker, Russ Goats, Bill Diggins, Jim McKean and Nick Brumigan.

337
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:50,000
We're going now to the bottom of the third.

338
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:54,000
The Phillies leading by a score of 2-0 and for the Dodgers, Stanley John to lead off.

339
00:38:54,000 --> 00:39:03,000
It'll help you to run three hits and the Dodgers no runs on two and the two runs the Phillies have are unearned.

340
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:08,000
They came after an error by the shortstop Bill Russell with two minutes out to the Zinski.

341
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,000
He hit a home run over the center field fence.

342
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:16,000
Tommy John a right hand batter.

343
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:24,000
And he is taking a lot of time getting in the batter's box.

344
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:29,000
And Steve Carroll then starts off with a fast ball that's popped into shallow right.

345
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:36,000
And we're going back also coming up in the ball is Jerry Martin and Martin runs size more off the play and makes the catch.

346
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,000
One Vincent, one away.

347
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:48,000
That'll bring up Davey Loeb, who is batting for the second time and first time up he lined out to the left field with Greg Loeb.

348
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Loeb is generally considered the catalyst here on this ball for Alstiner and if he can have himself a good day get on the base and start running.

349
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:03,000
You know he led the league in stolen bases in the last couple of years although fell short this year but still had himself a good season on stolen bases.

350
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:08,000
Davey Loeb is a guy that can activate a ball club. They've got to get something rolling here now.

351
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:15,000
47 stolen bases this year and the winner this year in stolen bases was Frank Sovere for the Pittsburgh Bar.

352
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,000
And the first pitch to Loeb's the fast ball that's bound back out of play.

353
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:24,000
Right in there on the hands right around letter I.

354
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:29,000
Garland has not walked about it he has struck out one.

355
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:33,000
He has given up two hits.

356
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:42,000
And the pitch back is inside Loeb's has to turn away one ball and one strike.

357
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:48,000
And now the left hander back again and again he misses this time high with a fast ball.

358
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,000
Garland when he first came to the major leagues had great velocity.

359
00:40:52,000 --> 00:41:01,000
He got two on the pitch. It is a fast ball popped up in play of all the first baseman Johnson is there and Dave puts it into the glove.

360
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Carlson was the first man in the history of baseball to strike out 19 batters.

361
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:15,000
He did that against the New York Mets in 1969 but he lost the ball game when Ron Febord had two to run home run drop of a.

362
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:21,000
He is the only man to strike out 19 and lose.

363
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Now the batter coming up Bill Russell and he takes the call strike.

364
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,000
Russell flight out the center field is last time up.

365
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,000
Russell as the shortstop had 16 stolen bases.

366
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:38,000
He is all time high and he strikes with one down the left field strike just found by a matter of a minute.

367
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:43,000
That's far five seconds for station identification. This is the CBS radio network.

368
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:48,000
This is the American Forces Radio and Television Service.

369
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:52,000
This is the end of the bell.

370
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:58,000
Ralph Kiner along with Jerry Coleman from Los Angeles California.

371
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:06,000
Billy's leading two to nothing. Bottom half of the third two minute away and the next pitch to Russell has taken out 19-2.

372
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:11,000
And a curve ball bounced to the shortstop Larry Boyd and he picks it up.

373
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:18,000
He got the first base and it's every third in order and the score at the end of three the Phillies two in the dodgers nothing.

374
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Tom Watson bidding for a victory which would give him the single season money-winning record will start the 4-1 favorite in the field of 16 Wednesday

375
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:32,000
and the $225,000 World Match Play Golf Championship at Virginia Water, England.

376
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:42,000
The American Masters and British Open Champion needs to add $43,000 to his $310,653 winning so far this year.

377
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:52,000
The top to top Johnny Miller's 1974 all-time record and the first prize at Virginia Water of $52,500 would do it nicely.

378
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:59,000
British bookmakers have made Hale Irwin attempting to snag the title for the third time in four years a sixth one shot

379
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:05,000
followed by US Open Champion Hubert Green and Lanny Watkins at 7-1 Ray Floyd at 10-1.

380
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:11,000
For the first time in his 14-year history the championship has been doubled in size to 16 players

381
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:19,000
and the winner faces the possibility of having to play 144 holes in four days making endurance the key factor.

382
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:28,000
In Wednesday's first round 36-hole matches Watson will face a Taiwan opponent while Irwin has a much stiffer test against British rider-coupler Peter Usterhaus.

383
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:41,000
Watson flew in from California Monday with a bad case of jet lag and could not use Tuesday as a practice day on the 6,969 yard Bermarrow course at Wentworth.

384
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:51,000
Green takes on former winner Graham March of Australia, Floyd meets Ernesto Acosta of Mexico, individual winner of the 1976 World Cup.

385
00:43:51,000 --> 00:44:01,000
Watkins will face British veteran Neil Cole.

386
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:09,000
It's the top of the fourth inning the Phillies leading two to nothing on a two run home run by Greg Luzinski and now Greg Vatting for the second time.

387
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:15,000
Luzinski's home run went over the center field fence and drove in by Schmidt who was safe on an air.

388
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:21,000
The air flowed on the inning so the runs were unearned and the first pitch to Luzinski is a ball.

389
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:28,000
Greg hit an eight of his last nine regular season games, had three doubles, three home runs and drove an eight run.

390
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:36,000
And the ball had 39 home runs at late to club. He takes outside for balls too, two balls and no strikes.

391
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:44,000
That is three-oh-nine for the year and again the pitch is out of the strike zone low this time for ball three.

392
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:49,000
Dodgers had the best team run average in the National League with a 3.22 ERA.

393
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:55,000
Actually it was the best in the major leagues and Tommy John with his next pitch to call strikes.

394
00:44:55,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Three-and-one. Dodgers hit an all-time attendance record last season, just past year.

395
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:15,000
And a pitch that is low on outside Luzinski-Wach. Dodgers drew two million, nine hundred fifty-five thousand eighty-seven and all-time record.

396
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Greg hit a record or a day at Hells.

397
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:26,000
And a pitch that is low on outside Luzinski-Wach. Dodgers drew two million, nine hundred fifty-five thousand eighty-seven and all-time record.

398
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:31,000
Greg hit a record. Or a day at Hells.

399
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:35,880
from sort of a tennis affiliate had a great year they drew 2,700,070

400
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:39,940
throughout the Dodgers would have gone over 3 million with ease they had three

401
00:45:39,940 --> 00:45:44,240
rainouts here in Los Angeles and that is one of the great preach of all time

402
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:49,760
but other without that they would have made 3 million easier. Amazing year for the Dodgers.

403
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:55,520
Now Luzinsky is running the pitches taken by Dave Johnson to throw a high over the head of

404
00:45:55,520 --> 00:46:02,520
Luzinsky has a solo base he had four in the regular season in 6th September.

405
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:08,200
That was a big throw that just got away from Jager out there no more you can say

406
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,640
as a matter just sailed into center field Jager with a shotgun has a ball

407
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:16,960
there plenty of time but it went in center field that ball was 10 feet over

408
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:23,040
second base and no chance for Luzinsky to get to it. I believe Luzinsky surprised everybody in this ballpark

409
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:29,040
I know he surprised me he was not being held on by Garvey Garvey is playing

410
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,720
about two steps back of him and he took off for a second and the ball went in the

411
00:46:32,720 --> 00:46:37,760
second with a big slide and the ball went to center field and the next pitch

412
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:45,200
to Johnson has fouled off and the count had one ball and one strike. Luzinsky had four in the regular season

413
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:57,200
they might have all been on the back end of a double steal. He's had 16 solo bases in his major league career.

414
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:05,200
Next pitch back to Johnson is low on inside two balls and one strike. Dave Johnson.

415
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:18,200
Once again Tommy John set the go he takes the run at second this time and throws the plate misses outside for ball three.

416
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:26,200
The boating for the most valuable player award and award and rookie of the year award has

417
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:35,200
taken place so that anything done in the playoff of the World Series will not affect a boater's thinking.

418
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:42,200
A ground ball hits the third, he moves to his left to field and the bend wind comes up with a ball throw to the first base for the out.

419
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:48,200
Luzinsky holding the second base and the batter will be Jerry Martin. If you're going to wait for back to back

420
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:56,200
based on balls from Tommy John you might be here until it's over because he doesn't do it often. He only gave up 50 in the regular season

421
00:47:56,200 --> 00:48:15,200
and working 220 innings. Jerry Martin was struck out his first time up. Right hand batter playing right field.

422
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:30,200
And now the pitch and Martin takes the breaking ball low on inside. One ball no strike.

423
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:37,200
Luzinsky a short lead at second base is Tommy John. Missed into the side.

424
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:41,200
Goes to the set position and the next pitch back is taken outside.

425
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:47,200
Well I forget the feeling John has lost his pattern out there for the first time in the ball game other than the bad pitch to Luzinsky.

426
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:54,200
This is the first inning where he seems to have lost the pattern. He's been high and low on outside and he just hasn't been as sharp as he was in those middle two innings.

427
00:48:54,200 --> 00:49:03,200
He hasn't been around the plate right on the edges so to speak. He's been missing by a considerable margin for him and that pitch was low and was low down around the ankle.

428
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:15,200
There was not close to the lead. Three balls and no strike.

429
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:25,200
And again Tommy John with the delivery and he gets a strike. White Anthony's on the outside corner. His type of pitch is three and one.

430
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:40,200
With the Dodgers Tommy John has won 70 and lost 32 in five years. And his next pitch it is granted to the third baseman say who has to wait for a high half to throw the first base is just in by.

431
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:58,200
And then he's got a line out by a very close margin. He also held a second base for that out and it will bring up Jim McArthur the catcher. McArthur was struck out his first time up.

432
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:11,200
Early is leading two to nothing. Two men out were in the top of the fourth inning. I see you got your name in the message board out there Jerry.

433
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:32,200
Jerry Coleman live casting the National Championship Series on CBS radio. And we're happy to be here. Delighted. I'd say this looks like a good story. And here's the pitch now to Jim McArthur and the pitch is low inside the ball.

434
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:44,200
McArthur is a very personable young man. As aspirations to be a broadcaster when he gets out of baseball. But he has pulled on his career by going to the Phillies and catching Steve Crowder.

435
00:50:44,200 --> 00:51:01,200
And a pitch again for a ball. There's two balls and no strikes and Tommy John working behind the hitter. And the next pitch is grounded foul. So the count had two balls and one strike.

436
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:10,200
We might mention Ralph tomorrow, Wednesday October the fifth, the New York Yankees, and the Kansas City Royals to get off the ground with Ernie Harwell and Ned March.

437
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:23,200
Calling the game from Yankee Stadium. Airtime will be 307 Eastern Daylight on many of these same CBS radio stations and we'll once again get underway at 807 Eastern Daylight time here at Dodger Stadium.

438
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:36,200
Okay, Jerry, a 2-1 pitch and McArthur takes it inside three balls and one strike. With Steve Carleton pitching and McArthur hitting, McArthur is at 3-36 with five home runs.

439
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:47,200
But he has been a real asset both handling Carleton, it was not easy to handle, and hitting for Carleton.

440
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:57,200
And the next pitch is inside, McArthur walks and that will bring up Ted Feismore, who is runner to the first and second. The second and walker to the end, given up by Tommy John.

441
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:09,200
Feismore glided after the shortstop his first time up. And he owes the manager of the Phillies talking about Steve Carleton's bed.

442
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:18,200
I never completely understand him, but I know enough to give him the ball every fifth day, meaning that he can pitch.

443
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:31,200
Human away, runners at first and second base. We're in the top of the fourth inning, the Phillies leading by two. And the first pitch by Tommy John, outside of the strike zone again is ball one.

444
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:51,200
The most pitchers I've seen Tommy John make, around the plate and out of the strike zone. And we get some action going in the bullpen for the Dodgers and a fifth for a ball, that's two balls, no strike.

445
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:59,200
Feismore is batting in the eighth batting position, so it's not a matter of life or death if he walks because the pitchers do up.

446
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:05,200
Mike Garmin, a right-handed throwing in the bullpen and another pitch out of the strike zone, it's 3-0.

447
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:13,200
Tommy John and the Berger doing something he probably hasn't done too many times in his baseball career, walking the bases full.

448
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:28,200
3-0, runners at first and second base, he's set up. And here's the pitch, and it's a strike zone. Feismore taking all the land, he can't have three balls in one strike.

449
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:32,200
Mike Garmin warming up in the bullpen for the Dodgers, it flies to McCuff.

450
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:39,200
3-1 pitch on the way and it's round to the third, they make a good play on a hard smash as the defense is in.

451
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:43,200
It throws the second base for the fourth play that we saw at the side.

452
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:48,200
And the inning no runs, no hits, two walks, and two men left on base.

453
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:53,200
And the score at the end of three and a half innings, the Phillies two in the Dodgers nothing.

454
00:53:53,200 --> 00:54:00,200
Woody McCovey, a one-time most valuable player who had to earn his spot on the roster of his old team, the San Francisco Giants,

455
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:05,200
was named nationally comeback player of the year, Tuesday by the sporting news in St. Louis.

456
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:15,200
Eric Satoholm, sidelined in 1976 by knee surgery and resulting complications earned the American leg owners for his play with the Chicago White Side.

457
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:24,200
At 39, McCovey was one of the few bright spots for the Giants this season, climbing 28 homers, batting 282, and driving in 86 runs.

458
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:28,200
The big first baseman also hit a 17 grand slam home-er, setting a league record.

459
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:36,200
For those of you who may have just tuned in, we have a two-nothing ball game going here at Dodger Stadium, the Phillies are leading.

460
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:40,200
The scoring came in the first inning, Bates McBride started with a single to right,

461
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:48,200
but was erased on the front end of a double play when Boa bounced to the shortstop, a 6-4-3 double play, retired the first two hitters.

462
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:53,200
But then Mike Schmidt hit a ground ball to Bill Russell, and he backed up on it just a little bit.

463
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:57,200
His throw to first was high as Schmidt, with good speed, beat it out.

464
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:04,200
Russell was charged with an error, and after that, Greg Lusinski, the ball came on and popped one over that center field wall,

465
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:09,200
with the only two runs in the ball game, and that's the way we stand right now, going into the fourth inning.

466
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:15,200
Carlton had some problem in the second inning when Sey and Garvey opened it up with following singles,

467
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:20,200
but after that, Bates, Burke and Jaeger went down, and that's been it as far as Los Angeles.

468
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:26,200
Certainly have a couple hits, the back-to-back singles, but no real threat in the ball game.

469
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:32,200
Steve Carlton, taking a little extra warm-up, is ready to go now as we move to the bottom of the fourth round.

470
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:36,200
The championship series began back in 1969, a year at the Maricall Mets,

471
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:40,200
and the Mets swept the man on three games and went on to beat Baltimore in the World Series.

472
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:45,200
Cincinnati made a clean sweep of the LCS in 1970, taking three straights from the park,

473
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:51,200
but Pittsburgh made the best of a return trip in 1971, beating San Francisco three to one.

474
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,200
First pitch to Reggie Smith's disrounded foul.

475
00:55:54,200 --> 00:56:03,200
Cincinnati beat Pittsburgh three games to two in 1972, a five-game series the first one,

476
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:09,200
and the Reds took the series to a five-game limit again in 1973 before losing to the Mets.

477
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:19,200
The Reds have dominated the LCS the past two seasons, creeping past Pittsburgh in 1975 and Fiddled Elphi in 1976.

478
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:27,200
Now a pitch for a ball, it's one-on-one, the Reggie Smith. Smith has been voted the Dodger's most valuable player

479
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:31,200
in his last two games before the end of the season, he had hit a home run innings.

480
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:37,200
Now a two-on, the pitch to Smith is in the air to shallow left center field,

481
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:40,200
coming over from center field as Bake McBride, he makes the check.

482
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:47,200
It's remarkable when you can lose a center fielder like Gary Maddox and come up with a man like Bake McBride,

483
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:52,200
and really not even lose a little bit of your stride because you're about Matt Diedrich.

484
00:56:52,200 --> 00:57:00,200
Reggie Smith having a great year, Bake McBride going from the Cardinals to the Phillies having a great year.

485
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:05,200
Phillies had a swing of 13 consecutive wins with McBride playing center field.

486
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:12,200
Here's Juan Céstebian, he's single his first time up, and Carlton starts off with a curve ball.

487
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:22,200
He's got one of the most beautiful sights here in Los Angeles looking out over into the San Gabriel Mountains and over the hills.

488
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:26,200
With the sun shining brightly on the hills and the mountains and the far distance.

489
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:33,200
Now it fits back to swinging strike at strike two.

490
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:38,200
And it two strikes, it fits to say, taken low in the count one and two.

491
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:44,200
There is Carl Chavez-Raveen and has been beautified by this beautiful stadium,

492
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:51,200
the last one built with private capital going back to Yankee Stadium in 1922.

493
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:58,200
Now it's one two, the pitch to say, a back ball, swung on a miss and say is out.

494
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:07,200
He's making a strike out with Carl, then it will bring up Steve Jarvis.

495
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:23,200
Jarvis, single the left field his first time up, he played in 162 games for the second straight year.

496
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:29,200
No one on, two men out, bottom of the fourth inning, the Phillies leading by a score of 2-0 and Carlton fits.

497
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:38,200
The back ball is outside, right around the letters, one ball and no strike.

498
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:44,200
And Carlton working quickly comes back with a curve ball that's shot foul down the third base side.

499
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:47,200
He counted one ball and one strike.

500
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,200
Garvey has quite a story here with the Dodgers, Ralph as you know.

501
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:57,200
He had no position and was almost on the brutes of being traded until Billy Butner entered his ankle at first base.

502
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:06,200
They put Garvey at first, the position he had not played, he was at third base and he found his place away from home and no one has moved him since, that's four years ago.

503
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:09,200
But he had a very inaccurate arm and couldn't play third well.

504
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:15,200
Quickly a problem of throwing, he could catch it, another 1-1-5, Garvey fouls it back out of play.

505
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:23,200
His father used to drive a bus in Tampa, Florida that used to take the different teams around with the different ball parts.

506
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:33,200
And Steve Garvey would get a board and ride when he was a kid and his idol was Gil Hodges, the great ball player of Florida Dodgers, later on a manager.

507
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:36,200
And was the manager when the next one in 1969.

508
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:43,200
Pitch for a ball with two balls and two strikes and it fits back, it's lining by the short-clutch in the left field.

509
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:53,200
Both Garvey continue as he gets to second base hit and they have a runner on with two men out and just two bankers coming up.

510
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:04,200
It's all even at three apiece but the Billy is laid two to nothing.

511
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:14,200
Baker fouled out his first down up.

512
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:28,200
And the first pitch to the right hand batter, two ball on inside the ball.

513
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:35,200
And it's all at first base and Garvey back easily.

514
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:40,200
Carlton led the National League with 22 pick offs and there is a lot of controversy about his moves at first.

515
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:43,200
Most people that play against him say he's a boss.

516
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:47,200
Here's his next delivery, it's inside and he counted two balls and no strikes.

517
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:52,200
Well, that great move it is is the reason that Tim McArthur can stay in there behind the plate.

518
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:58,200
And the runner on Calvin is hard to play MacArthur whose arm is rather weak.

519
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:01,200
Two balls, no strikes.

520
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:05,200
And the pitch back is high and they count three and off.

521
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:10,200
Blind up to Baker looking Glenn Burt.

522
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:19,200
Baker would rock the time limit, it would be at first base with two men away in the bottom of the fourth inning.

523
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:25,200
And the next pitch is taken high at ball four and again the Dodgers have runners at first and second.

524
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,200
This time the old Westview men away.

525
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:33,200
They and Garvey were on in the second, it was no one on but they did not event.

526
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:45,200
So MacArthur asked the mother to talk to Carlton, talked to him briefly and he now stands and comes back behind on plate as Glenn Burt comes up to the batter's box.

527
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:55,200
Carlton's first walk of the ball again and of course with a regular season he walks a total of 89.

528
01:01:55,200 --> 01:02:00,200
And the first pitch to the right hand batter, very high for a ball.

529
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:06,200
Burt was called from Albuquerque on June 3rd where he was hitting 309 in the Pacific Coast League.

530
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:19,200
Now time is called by Ted Seismore, he wants to come in and talk to Steve Carlin.

531
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:25,200
If it gets down to the fact of the bullpen it may be the Phillies will have the edge as we look at it now.

532
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:28,200
They've got four pretty good ones, Dr. Strudler.

533
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:45,200
Big bullpenage as the experts say and the next pitch back is in the strike zone, a fastball foul back out of play, one ball and one strike.

534
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:57,200
One ball, one strike and Carlton pitches with Seismore standing about a foot away from the bag, a hole open on the right side but Burt cannot take advantage of it as he swings and fouls it over toward the Dodger dugout on.

535
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:07,200
Carlton pitching with his second baseman out of position.

536
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:17,200
And the next pitch hits to the third baseman Smith who feels it hits through the second base his side but taken with a one hand grab by Seismore and that's the tire of the side.

537
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:25,200
So once again the Dodgers leave two on a walk in a base hit and the score at the end of four it's the Phillies two and the Dodgers nothing.

538
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:35,200
The Cincinnati Reds announced today that they have signed center fielder Cesar Geronimo to a new four year contract which extends through 1981.

539
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:44,200
The 29 year old Geronimo is regarded as one of the finest offensive outfielders in the National League and has won a gold glove award for feeling excellence the last three years.

540
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:54,200
He was charged with just two errors in 147 games during the 1977 season, his sixth year with the Reds and he batted 265.

541
01:03:54,200 --> 01:04:01,200
Terms of the contract were not the slow.

542
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:06,200
Tommy John warming up on the mound for the Dodgers has met at Bursa-D twice.

543
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:14,200
Several years ago while he was with the Chicago White Sox he had his left shoulder separated when he and Dick McGullibbe, the taggers got into a couple.

544
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:18,200
He came back from that to be an outstanding pitcher.

545
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:32,200
Three years ago he snapped a bone or a ligament in his left arm and I've got to tell you if you saw the results after that operation the entire left forearm had atrophied almost to the bone.

546
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:36,200
Looking at it no one would have believed that Tommy John would have come back.

547
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:43,200
But he persevered, he stayed out an entire year and his Ralph Golger came back to win 10 a year ago and 20 this year.

548
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:54,200
And if there was ever a pitcher who came back from the grave, Tommy John is a man and here he is opening up in the opening of the championship series here in Los Angeles for the Dodgers.

549
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:57,200
Pretty an outstanding person.

550
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:05,200
He is like Will Rogers used to be. He has never met a man he has in life and he is a real gentleman.

551
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:17,200
And the left hander will be working out to Steve Carleton. Carleton got a lucky base hit his first time up on a ball that dropped between the center fielder and the right fielder and Davey Loeb.

552
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:21,200
Loeb was back to dry and catch it when the outfielder weren't there and it dropped in.

553
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:32,200
And Carleton falls away from the plate as a half swing, one ball and one try.

554
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:49,200
And it has not been easy for Tommy John in this ball game but he is hanging tight after giving up two runs in the first that were both unearned on a home run to Greg Lersensky with Mike Schmidt on base and a fifth grounded foul at 1-2.

555
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:52,200
He's had 1-2-3 innings.

556
01:05:52,200 --> 01:06:01,200
Carleton swings and grounds the ball foul at 1-2. Carleton batted 2-6-8 in the regular season with three home runs and 15 runs batted in.

557
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:05,200
Good hitting pitch and he gets hit right in the head.

558
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:14,200
He all bounces over to the on deck there so when he appears to be alright he's wearing the protective helmet, the fiberglass helmet and he is not even bothering to take a look at it.

559
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:22,200
It was a, I believe, slow curve ball.

560
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:31,200
Actually looking at the replay again it was down around the right arm so they did not get him on the helmet.

561
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:36,200
Paul was not a hard thrown pitch so he's alright and he hasn't even rubbed.

562
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:46,200
So Carleton on his first base, going out and the batter coming up will be BAKE McGride who has a single and two times up.

563
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:59,200
And again action starting up on the bullpen for the Dodgers. Mike Garmin was warming up before and it appears to be Garmin again.

564
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:06,200
Now Tommy John with his pitches, spun it out to the mound. John picks it up, throws the second in-dime for the fourth play at second.

565
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:30,200
And McGride is on at first base, running into a fourth play. So with Mike Garmin throwing in the bullpen the Dodgers get a quick add on the one attempt and the batter now coming up will be Larry Bohr.

566
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:37,200
Bohr is 0 for 2.

567
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:50,200
Bohr, granted into a double play his first time up and granted into a fourth play his second.

568
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:55,200
We're in the top of the fifth inning. Somebody's leading two to not being one man out.

569
01:07:55,200 --> 01:08:05,200
McGride, a good runner on his first base, a hard smack to second. Loved one hand that closed the second base in-dime for the fourth play and they cry for...

570
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:16,200
And now wait a minute, there's going to be a change in the decision. In shortstop, Bill Russell was not in the bag at second base as Loved flew there and the runner called safe at second.

571
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:28,200
McGride was leaving the bag and was about four steps away when he heard the call and he quickly got back. So the Dodgers trying for two got none and the Phillies have runners at first and second.

572
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:38,200
And Tom was sort of off to argue where second base on from far and far he was close to that. The call was safe at second.

573
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:49,200
The throw was taken by Bill Russell at shortstop and he was standing about three or four inches off the bag.

574
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:56,200
And when you look at it on a video safe replay there is no doubt about the call being the right call.

575
01:08:56,200 --> 01:09:04,200
That was an excellent call by Harry Wendelstead and one that isn't the normal routine play if the ball beats the runner, he's automatically out.

576
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:09,200
And that could be a critical play in the ball game. There's been a couple up there. That is a big one.

577
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:14,200
Something that's going to be hung with the air is the shortstop, Bill Russell.

578
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:23,200
Second air by the shortstop, Bill Russell, and I was worried about the fact that he was not on the bag. He was not touching the bag at any time.

579
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:31,200
Sometimes if you come across that bag you can take the throw as you're leaving it and get away with it. This time he never got to the bag.

580
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:36,200
So now runners at first and second with one man out and the batter will be Mike Smith.

581
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:44,200
And there are charged to the shortstop, Bill Russell.

582
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:52,200
Great stop in the ball by David Olpz at second baseman and a very good throw.

583
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:56,200
Smith is all for two.

584
01:09:56,200 --> 01:10:06,200
And the first pitch by Tommy John, routed to the third baseman, say he has to wait for it and he picked up a fourth play after making the catch as he goes to the bag at third.

585
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:09,200
No chance at all for the double play.

586
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:17,200
Olpz moves down to second and Mike Smith on on the fourth play at third.

587
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:34,200
That'll bring up Greg Luzinski who has been in the only run for this long. He had a two run all run in the first.

588
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:42,200
Luzinski has his own run over the center field fence. There was a tremendous cloud of over 420 feet.

589
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:52,200
Now batting with runners at first and second base. We're in the top of the fifth inning, two men out.

590
01:10:52,200 --> 01:11:04,200
And Tommy John with his first pitch is low and it's ball one.

591
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:13,200
Once again Tommy John starting this inning by hitting it better, starting with Wildness and he comes back and misses low again, two balls and no strikes.

592
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:18,200
Charlie Huff is going along with Mike Garmin now on the bullpen.

593
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:24,200
Muscle baller Charlie Huff.

594
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:39,200
And Tommy John's next pitch, way outside ball three, back ended by Steve Yeager, three balls no strikes.

595
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:44,200
So the anticipation of Luzinski being given a hit sign here makes it tough on Tommy John.

596
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:56,200
He comes back way outside as ball four and the bases are loaded. And that'll bring up Dave Johnson.

597
01:11:56,200 --> 01:12:11,200
And as a result of the year, if any run score in this inning, they will be unearned as they were in the first inning when an error prolonged the inning for Greg Luzinski's home run.

598
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:21,200
The third walk by Tommy John, he also has hit it better, working under extreme pressure in the first game of the best of three out of five.

599
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:29,200
And now working from the lineup, the first pitch today is Johnson to curve ball, low with ball one.

600
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:33,200
It has to be ground.

601
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:41,200
The first two games are right here in LA and then we move on to Philadelphia. The next pitch is lined into center field of base pitch.

602
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:49,200
A run score and now the second and Philadelphia Phillies laid by a score of four to nothing.

603
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:56,200
And our clutch face hit by Dave Johnson who played his last two years in Japan.

604
01:12:56,200 --> 01:13:00,200
And here comes Tom LaSorda to the mound.

605
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:07,200
This was not a Tommy John specialty tonight. He simply was not the pitcher that he has been winning those 20 games for the Dodgers.

606
01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:10,200
He was erratic and at times ran into problems.

607
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:17,200
He's walked three, which is unusual in itself and then the hit matter wasn't each case that he was burned.

608
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:26,200
It was a high curve ball Luzinski went over the center field wall and a high pitch possibly a flight screwball to Dave Johnson that was set to fail in the center field.

609
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:34,200
It drove in two more and the Phillies right now with their big guy Steve Carleton doing so well are in pretty good shape.

610
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:42,200
They're out in front by four. This game is a long way from over, but when you've got a pitcher of Carlton's caliber going strongly for the four nothing lead,

611
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:45,200
you've got a lot of problems to try to make it up.

612
01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:52,200
And it looks as though they are going to wave to the bullpen and it's going to be Mike Garmin, the right hander coming in.

613
01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:57,200
So Mike Garmin coming on to take over for Tommy John.

614
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:01,200
Garmin has ripped it around a little bit.

615
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:04,200
His record now is four and four.

616
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:08,200
He earned an average of 2.71 appearing in his 50th game.

617
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:14,200
He was in 49 during the regular season and of course this is his first game in playoff action.

618
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:22,200
Garmin was not a very effective relief pitcher in the latter stages of the season.

619
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:27,200
In fact, the Dodgers is a whole route, kind of, struggle through the final three months.

620
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:35,200
They got out to that 22 and four start and then from there on they played better than 500, but not the kind of baseball it takes to win a penalty.

621
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:40,200
They got so far ahead of everybody they just wiped them out before things got started.

622
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:47,200
So Tommy John is leaving the field and getting a hand and Mike Garmin is the first pitching change in the ball game.

623
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:49,200
Phillies are on top four to nothing.

624
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:54,200
They got two on the first on Lysinski's home run, two here in the fifth inning on a single.

625
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:59,200
The center field by Dave Johnson with the bases loaded.

626
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:06,200
And once again we can point to the Philadelphia Phillies and that bench of theirs depending on who is pitching and how.

627
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:10,200
They can play Johnson at first or Richie Hevner.

628
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:15,200
They can switch to see an Ollie Brown, Gary Maddox, Bate McBride, Jerry Martin.

629
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:20,200
They've got a lot of things going for them where they can move players around and come off the bench with them.

630
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:21,200
Pretty good pitchers as well.

631
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:28,200
They have an outstanding ball club and they have taken advantage of the extra out in the two innings they have scored.

632
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:35,200
All four runs have been unearned and they have used the extra out given to them by the Dodgers.

633
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:43,200
Garmin had 12 saves in his regular season, pitched in 50 ball game and he came from the Chicago Gubs.

634
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:48,200
He'll be working to Jerry Martin to write Ambatis.

635
01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:53,200
Now the Phillies have the luxury of switching to Jay Johnson, a good left hand hitter,

636
01:15:53,200 --> 01:16:04,200
but Annie Ozark with a four nothing lead is thinking about later on and he is not making that change.

637
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:13,200
He had a stretch, Mike Garmin had a stretch from June 15th to July 30th where he gave up only one earned run in 18 or a third inning.

638
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:17,200
So the right hander, Mike Garmin, coming in to pitch to Jerry Martin.

639
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:20,200
Martin has struck out and granted out in the two appearances.

640
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:27,200
Phillies four runs unearned on four hits, the Dodgers no runs on three.

641
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:34,200
Tommy John getting better for four and two-thirds innings, struck out three in walk three and he also hit a better.

642
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:43,200
And the first pitch by Garmin is it foul, back home plate out of play.

643
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:48,200
Martin was an outstanding basketball player at Furman.

644
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:54,200
That's Furman to its first Southern Conference title.

645
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:57,200
He is not that tall a ball player.

646
01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:02,200
He is a fine defense ball player and he is used mainly as Luzinski's caddy.

647
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:09,200
And they take Greg out and let a part of the ball game and he usually goes in for the final inning.

648
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:13,200
And the pitch back by Garmin in the dirt, dug out by Yeager a good play to run his hole.

649
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:25,200
Luzinski at second base and Dave Johnson at first.

650
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:27,200
One ball, one strike.

651
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,200
Crowd here.

652
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:35,200
Very quiet after the Phillies are taking this lead of four to nothing.

653
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:52,200
And here's the pitch back, it's on the outside corner of the track.

654
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:56,200
Tommy John out of the game, strong candidate for the Cy Young Award.

655
01:17:56,200 --> 01:18:05,200
Along with John Candelary and Steve Carver, and Garmin does his job, he strikes out Jerry and Martin to end the inning.

656
01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:09,200
But two runs in the inning on just one base hit.

657
01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:13,200
Two men left on base and of course the end of four and a half.

658
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:21,200
It means the Philadelphia Phillies four and the New York should take the LA Dodgers nothing.

659
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:28,200
While the Dodgers using the approach of the Phillies in 1976, compiled the best winning percentage in Los Angeles history,

660
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:41,200
winning 22 of their first 26 games, that equals the marks of the 1955 Dodgers when they played in Brooklyn and the 1946 Boston Red Sox after the first 26 games.

661
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:43,200
It really had a great start.

662
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:51,200
The month of April saw the Dodgers compile their best winning percentage ever in the city of Los Angeles in 850 record.

663
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:56,200
The Dodgers jumped off to a seven and a half game lead, the biggest lead after the first month ever.

664
01:18:56,200 --> 01:19:00,200
The lead was extended to 14 games by July 31.

665
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:08,200
And the closest to the big red machine, the two-time world championship Cincinnati Reds, ever got was eight games back.

666
01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:16,200
And with all this, the Dodgers became the first team to draw two winning fans by their 52nd playing date, which was August 11th,

667
01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:22,200
and they set the all-time attendance record of 2,955,087.

668
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:28,200
We're going now to the bottom of the fifth inning.

669
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:37,200
The Phillies leading by a score of four-nothing and as we go to the bottom of the fifth, it is indeed my pleasure to once again bring in Jerry Coleman

670
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:38,200
to the microphone.

671
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:46,200
Jerry and I are standing in here for the New York Yankees back in some of their greatest days and now broadcasting for the San Diego Padres.

672
01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:49,200
So here for the rest of the ballgame, Jerry Coleman.

673
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:52,200
Okay Ralph, and it's the four-nothing ballgame.

674
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:59,200
The Phillies on top of the Dodgers right now, Steve Yeager coming on to hit with Lee Lacey in the on-dixer.

675
01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:01,200
So Lacey will be in there for Mike Garmin.

676
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:03,200
So Garmin has done his thing.

677
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:11,200
He's struck out a man in a key spot and will leave the ballgame and we'll have another pitcher coming on against the Phillies in the sixth inning.

678
01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:15,200
Dean Carlton, a giant left-hander who has been in control.

679
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:19,200
He's had a couple of innings where two men have been on in the second.

680
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:22,200
First two batters, got back-to-back singles, but he stopped them.

681
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:25,200
A little trouble in the fourth, but no real trouble.

682
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:32,200
The first pitch to Yeager is a one-hopper to the third baseman, Smith, over the first base and Yeager is set down.

683
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:39,200
So Steve Yeager is out of there five to three, one up, one down, and the fifth, and that'll bring on Lee Lacey.

684
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:47,200
Lacey started out his career over the Los Angeles Dodgers, was traded onto the Atlanta Braves and traded back here to the Dodgers.

685
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:56,200
Lacey has been a jack-of-all trade. He's got a good job with the bat. He's hitting a 266 so far this year.

686
01:20:56,200 --> 01:21:03,200
And that's no home run from Sticharvea. Right-hand batter coming off from Mike Garmin.

687
01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:09,200
So the Dodgers are deep into their bullpen now. We'll see how it stands when the game is over.

688
01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:13,200
The first pitch foul back by Lacey Strike-Watt.

689
01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:17,200
He pents at Schmid at third, Boa the short stab, dies more at second.

690
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:22,200
Johnson at first base with Tim McIver, the veteran catcher behind the plate.

691
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:27,200
Outfield dead straight away, Lezynski and left McBride in center, Martin and right field.

692
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:34,200
And Carl in the sixth floor, left-hander, fires low and inside. One ball, one strike.

693
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:42,200
B-1-1 pitch by Carl and Lacey hits it up the middle, base pitch.

694
01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:47,200
So Lee Lacey, a pitch single up the middle, gives the Dodgers a start.

695
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:54,200
The fourth pitch off Steve Carl, then with Dave Loak stepping in.

696
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:57,200
That line score is rather unusual.

697
01:21:57,200 --> 01:22:04,200
Philly's four runs four hits, the Dodgers no runs and four hits, and all four Philly's runs happen on Earth.

698
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:09,200
Couple of errors by short-stab Bill Russell and then the catalyst for Philadelphia.

699
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:12,200
Lacey at first.

700
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:18,200
Dodgers trailing in the ball game four-nothing, one away.

701
01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:21,200
Here's Davey Loak, who lined left field and fouled the first.

702
01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:27,200
Infield tight double play depth, Loak third ball, low and inside, ball one.

703
01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:33,200
Loak, who had his best year ever, average-wise, a 285 hitter.

704
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:38,200
Waiting for the next one, shows up about an inch, but the throw goes to Perth and there's a Boc Paul.

705
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:42,200
A Boc Paul of Steve Merlin.

706
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:59,200
Carlton picked off Davey Loak from the ball game two times earlier this year,

707
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:04,200
and there's been a lot of debate about whether or not he botts or does throw the correct way.

708
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:08,200
Alright, here's the next one on the way to Loak, line, drive right side of field.

709
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:15,200
Lacey racing for the plate, the throw by McBride is cut off by Johnson and Loak is in the second.

710
01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:33,200
Well, that was quite a meeting at second base.

711
01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:39,200
Harry Wendelstead, Dave Loak, and the shortstop all been bridging out there,

712
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:43,200
and Loak beats the throw into second, a big play.

713
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:47,200
And Dodgers get on the board, it's a four-to-one ball game.

714
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:55,200
Now Bill Russell stepping in, Bill, fly to center, bounce to short.

715
01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:59,200
Dodgers starting to fight back here in the fifth inning.

716
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:06,200
A chopper to the shortstop, Larry Boll, he'll make the play to first with Loak sailing over the third.

717
01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:11,200
So Loak over the third, and Russell bouncing about six to three.

718
01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:15,200
Two gone, and now Reggie Smith stepping in.

719
01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:23,200
Smith had a composite 307 batting average,

720
01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:30,200
but a much better hitter left handed, a 360 in the right handed, where he's standing in an out 282.

721
01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:33,200
Large slider, low on his side, ball one.

722
01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:35,200
Sink to the center and a box.

723
01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:40,200
Now field spread out a little and fairly deep, the infield way back.

724
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:43,200
Get it, sir, it about as deep as you'll ever see a third base.

725
01:24:43,200 --> 01:24:45,200
Third ball, one on this.

726
01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:50,200
One ball, one strike, and there might have been a back swing on that that nailed McCarver.

727
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:55,200
McCarver got out of there, and I think stumbled out of there.

728
01:24:55,200 --> 01:25:02,200
Smith with a big swing came back, and on the back swing may have nailed McCarver, but nothing serious.

729
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:05,200
One ball, one strike, two down, Loak to third.

730
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:07,200
Four to one, Philly's leading.

731
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:12,200
Ground ball, certainly hit to the shortstop, Boll, a tough, fast cutter, and he's got him at first base.

732
01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:17,200
Man, I'll say it, that ball had air written all over it, and Boll managed to handle it.

733
01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:23,200
One run, a couple of base hits and a man left, and after five innings of play, Philly's four.

734
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:25,200
Dodgers one.

735
01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:31,200
Muhammad Ali will defend his heavyweight title early in February against the winner of the Leon Sphinx, Elfio.

736
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:36,200
Elfio Regetti bowed, this is announced by Bob Aram, the president of Top Rank Incorporated.

737
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:42,200
Aram said he has signed contracts with Ali and his manager, Herbert Muhammad, plus Sphinx and Regetti,

738
01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:50,200
calling for the champion to receive $3.5 million, the challenger between $200,000 and $300,000.

739
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:53,200
Aram, the capital of Iran, is the leading site, he says.

740
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:59,200
Other potential sites are New York Madison Square Garden and the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas.

741
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:05,200
Aram added negotiations are now underway with all three networks for home telecast of the bout.

742
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:10,200
Aram said he expects to announce an exact date and location for the bout by early next week.

743
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:17,200
The fight between Sphinx, the Olympic Light Heavyweight Champion from St. Louis, and Regetti, the unbeaten 26-0 Italian heavyweight,

744
01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:19,200
will take place in November.

745
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:25,200
The bout also promoted by Top Rank probably will be held in Las Vegas.

746
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:37,200
saying, wait till next year.

747
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:43,200
Aram, your favorite team is planning for 1978. You should too by ordering season tickets.

748
01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:48,200
Now is the time when the best locations are available for your family or business.

749
01:26:48,200 --> 01:26:56,200
So if you miss any of Baseball's excitement this past season, act now and ensure choice seats for all the fun of 1978.

750
01:26:56,200 --> 01:27:01,200
You'll find yourself saying, I just can't wait till next year.

751
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:06,200
Proceeding has been brought to you on behalf of Major League Baseball.

752
01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:11,200
Well, a new picture is coming in the ball game and Jerry Coleman as a player.

753
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:16,200
And also when I played, knuckleball pictures are enough to drive you crazy.

754
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:19,200
And Jerry, Charlie Huff is a new picture in knuckleball.

755
01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:22,200
He's kind of a guy, you know what's coming or out, there's no question about it.

756
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:26,200
It will be the knuckleball except in rare cases, and still you can't hit it.

757
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:33,200
But Charlie Huff, in the first half of this season, had 18 saves and in the second half only 4.

758
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:39,200
So he really was a diminished member of that bullpen in the last half of the season.

759
01:27:39,200 --> 01:27:47,200
Overall, Huff ended the season 6 and 12 under an average of 3.33 and he appeared in 70 ball game.

760
01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:56,200
So Charlie Huff, who was the light vapor of the Dodgers in the first half, did not have that second half to live up to the first.

761
01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:57,200
So he's had a little battle.

762
01:27:57,200 --> 01:28:06,200
Right now he'll be going up against Tim McCarver, Ted Seismore and Steve Farrell.

763
01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:11,200
I love the story that Tom the sort of the manager tells about Charlie Huff when he had him in the minor leagues.

764
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:18,200
He said you got a double A fastball, a double A curve, and in a foot race with a pregnant woman you finished third.

765
01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:20,200
So you better come up with another pitch.

766
01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:22,200
And he did.

767
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:25,200
And he just threw over his catcher, crazy Steve Yeager.

768
01:28:25,200 --> 01:28:30,200
All right, Tim McCarver, struck out and walked, 4-1 Philly's leading, we're in the sixth inning.

769
01:28:30,200 --> 01:28:34,200
Add an awful ball of sales now for ball one.

770
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:40,200
The outfield swung out to the right, infield way over there.

771
01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:41,200
The 1-0 pitch.

772
01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:45,200
The climbers took a fastball in there for a strike, one-on-one.

773
01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:50,200
Grant say the third baseman is 20-25 feet off the line and even with a bag,

774
01:28:50,200 --> 01:28:53,200
Russell shading well over towards shortstop near second base.

775
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:58,200
At a chopper in the hold of Bill, it's going to be tough, he can't handle it in the left field.

776
01:28:58,200 --> 01:29:00,200
Now let's see how they rule out with it.

777
01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:07,200
A high hopper, Russell just ran by it, tried to steer it and couldn't handle it, it goes for a base hit.

778
01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:09,200
I would have to score that a base hit.

779
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:13,200
That was one of the most difficult plays in the game at short as you well know.

780
01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:20,200
And although it's been a tough night for Bill Russell and the fans will continue to believe that was an error, it was too tough a chance.

781
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:25,200
It's due or die, you took a swipe at it and missed and that's about all you can do.

782
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:29,200
Here's Ted Seismore stepping in. Seismore bounced the short and the first.

783
01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:34,200
Runner at first base, nobody out, 4-1 Philadelphia 6-inning.

784
01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:39,200
Double plate combination of Loops and Russell inside as the front goes on the third base side.

785
01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:42,200
There, hands it makes the play to first.

786
01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:46,200
Seismore is an easy out for McCarver, moves into scoring position.

787
01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:49,200
So the sacrifice is good.

788
01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:52,200
The play, they're keeping book with us.

789
01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:56,200
1-4.

790
01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:58,200
Now here's Steve Carlin stepping in.

791
01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:03,200
Carlin had a blue single in the third inning and then was hit by a pitch in the fifth.

792
01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:11,200
If you missed the start of the ball game, Tommy John went the first 4-2-3, gave up 4 hits, 4 runs, all of the runs unearned.

793
01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:13,200
Struck out 3 and he walked 3.

794
01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:18,200
Garmin for a third of an inning, struck out a man and now Charlie up in the sixth.

795
01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:22,200
First pitch to Carlin, swung on a missed strike one.

796
01:30:22,200 --> 01:30:29,200
Carlin as we mentioned, an excellent hitting pitcher.

797
01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:33,200
From the left side, Carlin waits and huffs the livers.

798
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:38,200
It's fouled back, strike two, no ball, two strikes.

799
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:43,200
Outfield, just about straight away.

800
01:30:43,200 --> 01:30:49,200
The first in the best three of five, the National League playoffs.

801
01:30:49,200 --> 01:30:51,200
The two strikes hit.

802
01:30:51,200 --> 01:30:56,200
A line drive over the head of Dave Loach, the drop to the base hit.

803
01:30:56,200 --> 01:31:01,200
Racing for the plate is McCarver, the throw is wide and over the head of the catcher.

804
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:05,200
McCarver's in the stores of 5-1 ball games.

805
01:31:05,200 --> 01:31:09,200
And Reggie Smith showed his arm, but he showed it so well that Charlie huffed.

806
01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:13,200
35 to 40 feet behind the plate was a man that picked it up.

807
01:31:13,200 --> 01:31:18,200
Holding his first base and not attempting to go further was Steve Carlin.

808
01:31:18,200 --> 01:31:23,200
So Ralph Kiner, it looks as though the Dodgers simply can't game ground on the Philly.

809
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:25,200
They're making that team a take here and there.

810
01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:30,200
Not their ball game tonight and they've always said that the best way to handle a knuckleball pitcher

811
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:36,200
is to put nine pitchers in against him and Steve Carlin just proved that with the base hit the right field.

812
01:31:36,200 --> 01:31:41,200
So Harvey I Single by Carlin, he's two for two helping his own cause.

813
01:31:41,200 --> 01:31:44,200
Now we go to the top of the batting order, Bake McBride of his singles,

814
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:52,200
fly to right field, and an attempt at Buster Sacrifice and a runner for the second base.

815
01:31:52,200 --> 01:31:58,200
So Bake McBride stepping in there, he's playing for Gary Maddox tonight who's got a bad knee.

816
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:03,200
The knuckle outside, McBride ball once.

817
01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:07,200
Dodger in field, very close double play depth.

818
01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:12,200
Carlin is not their problem, the man at the plate if they're going for two is the big problem.

819
01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:15,200
McBride can go down that line with anybody.

820
01:32:15,200 --> 01:32:23,200
High pop up, Ron Stey, foul territory, calling for it, is under it and he's got it for the second half.

821
01:32:23,200 --> 01:32:29,200
So in the sixth inning there are two gone for the Phillies, one run in at first base B Carlin,

822
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:36,200
and now looking on the shortstop Larry Boa.

823
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:42,200
Larry Boa wrapped into a double play in the first inning and the Dodgers believe me turned that one.

824
01:32:42,200 --> 01:32:45,200
That was a Russell Deload, back to Garvey.

825
01:32:45,200 --> 01:32:52,200
Then Boa bounced the third in the third inning, it was safe on that key here by the shortstop Russell in the fifth inning.

826
01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:54,200
It led the two runs a little later.

827
01:32:54,200 --> 01:33:00,200
They first hit the ball, a ball one.

828
01:33:00,200 --> 01:33:05,200
Tony Taylor, a veteran of many years, is a major league with the Phillies coaching at first,

829
01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:09,200
Billy DeMarz observes and the pitch on the way to Boa popped up,

830
01:33:09,200 --> 01:33:13,200
calling for this one is Garvey, a huff over there to help him out and Steve has it,

831
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:17,200
and that's safe here in the Phillies in the sixth inning.

832
01:33:17,200 --> 01:33:22,200
One run, a couple of base hits and a man left after five and a half,

833
01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:27,200
Philadelphia five run six hits, the Dodgers one run five hits.

834
01:33:27,200 --> 01:33:32,200
South Park is done, Gullit and Paul spitt off, both of whom seem to thrive in pressure cookers.

835
01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:40,200
Welcome, one there popped up on the firing line for Wednesday's pivotal first game of the American League championship series between the Yankees and Royals.

836
01:33:40,200 --> 01:33:49,200
Gullit who has done very well in the baseball games this year, he played very well in the National League with the Cincinnati Reds.

837
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:53,200
Gullit off his 16-6 this year, he's two and nothing against the Yankees,

838
01:33:53,200 --> 01:34:02,200
and was very enthusiastic about pitching in that first game on Wednesday.

839
01:34:02,200 --> 01:34:09,200
191 home runs, the leads of National League and they have not been able to use that weapon here tonight.

840
01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:15,200
And the Dodgers became the first team in major league history to have four players in 30-year-more home runs.

841
01:34:15,200 --> 01:34:20,200
Garby led the group with 33, Reggie Smith, both of the most valuable Dodger at 32,

842
01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:28,200
Hans Sey at 30 and on his last time at bat on the final day of the season, Dusty Baker got his 30th.

843
01:34:28,200 --> 01:34:33,200
The feet have caused the Dodgers' out-scampanets, the architect of the ball,

844
01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:41,200
so I have to say this was the greatest psychological lift Notre Dame was ever more fired up even for the Gipper.

845
01:34:41,200 --> 01:34:46,200
Well, the Dodgers have to get fired up because they are training now by four,

846
01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:51,200
it's the Philadelphia Phillies five and the Dodgers one as we go through the bottom half of the sixth inning.

847
01:34:51,200 --> 01:34:56,200
Steve Carlton has been very strong here tonight in the Clutches, but that's something he has been known to do.

848
01:34:56,200 --> 01:35:05,200
He won 27 ball games one time in his career and he also has been a 20-game winner three other times.

849
01:35:05,200 --> 01:35:10,200
The veteran Steve Carlton still with a good fastball, a good slider, and here tonight he's had good command of his pitches.

850
01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:15,200
Now as we go to the bottom of the sixth once again, Jerry Coleman.

851
01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:21,200
Ralph, you mentioned Carlton's 19th strikeout, Steve Rennold and Ryan have not said that,

852
01:35:21,200 --> 01:35:27,200
but when you think about a feet of striking out, 19 of 27 hours is impossible and lose.

853
01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:30,200
And lose is really impossible.

854
01:35:30,200 --> 01:35:35,200
Man, that's tough. All right, here's Ron Sey. He's single and he struck out leading up to sixth.

855
01:35:35,200 --> 01:35:42,200
The Dodgers trailing five to one. Third hit, hits to the third baseman, Schmidt, and Sey is set down five to three.

856
01:35:42,200 --> 01:35:53,200
So Steve Carlton gets a break there, one pitch, one out, and that'll bring on the number five hitter, Steve Garvey, who's gone two for two tonight.

857
01:35:53,200 --> 01:35:57,200
Phillies five run six hits, Dodgers one run five hits.

858
01:35:57,200 --> 01:36:04,200
Garvey's single in the second inning behind a single by Sey, and he's single with two out in the fourth inning.

859
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:13,200
Garvey out of Michigan State University had no position until they found first base for him.

860
01:36:13,200 --> 01:36:18,200
It's still a remarkable story. Bunk one high and foul coming back out of play.

861
01:36:18,200 --> 01:36:28,200
Steve Garvey, as you know, was suggested to by his manager, Tommy LaSorta, that they would like to see more power.

862
01:36:28,200 --> 01:36:34,200
Well, he didn't do a bad job when you think about it. Led the club at home runs with 33.

863
01:36:34,200 --> 01:36:40,200
The one strike pitch foul away by Garvey, and that is more than any other Dodger player, Los Angeles Dodger player.

864
01:36:40,200 --> 01:36:45,200
Now let's not go back to Brooklyn, but more than any other Dodger player has been here on the West Coast.

865
01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:49,200
Garvey on top of that, batted 297 with a 192 base hit.

866
01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:58,200
So by those 33 home runs and the 115 RBI's, he did what he had to do and still kept everything else up there.

867
01:36:58,200 --> 01:37:02,200
There's a foul away by Steve, no foul, two strikes.

868
01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:09,200
Garvey to this point had had just, I believe, 21 was his top home run mark before this year.

869
01:37:09,200 --> 01:37:13,200
Howell plays him a little bit straight away, and a pitch on the way to Steve in the dirt.

870
01:37:13,200 --> 01:37:21,200
And there's a foul away by minimalist. And it's a two-ball two strike.

871
01:37:21,200 --> 01:37:27,200
The little board has one ball, two strikes, it will go over the board right now.

872
01:37:27,200 --> 01:37:38,200
One away. We're in the bottom of a sixth inning.

873
01:37:38,200 --> 01:37:43,300
Miss very deep of third probably plays as deep of third base as anybody in baseball

874
01:37:44,260 --> 01:37:47,880
They shoot to delivery to Garvey's round ball in the hole is short

875
01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:51,180
Bro is gonna have a long cross. They make it in time. He got it

876
01:37:51,680 --> 01:37:58,020
And I play by Larry bow and it wasn't so much the strength of the throw, but the way he got rid of it

877
01:37:58,020 --> 01:38:10,620
Though the play goes six to three he's two down of a six inning as Dusty Baker comes on

878
01:38:10,620 --> 01:38:17,940
Dusty Baker finished strong in September with seven home runs 18 RBI's and 11 ball games

879
01:38:17,940 --> 01:38:24,780
He had some spring there in that final month and as Brown told you went into that 30 mark on the last day of the season

880
01:38:24,780 --> 01:38:28,060
That brought him up with the rest of the big

881
01:38:40,540 --> 01:38:46,300
You know Jerry you can't believe how he could throw the ball at well sitting on his

882
01:38:46,620 --> 01:38:53,260
Barrier and he made it perfectly and almost got it there in time a slower man is out

883
01:38:53,260 --> 01:38:58,060
We've got a couple of left fielders here who are saved by knee operation

884
01:38:58,060 --> 01:39:02,700
Dusty Baker had a terrible year for the Dodgers last season. He was created from Atlanta

885
01:39:03,140 --> 01:39:09,460
Had his knee operated on the off year and it turned his career around same for Greg was into you had a knee operation earlier

886
01:39:10,660 --> 01:39:14,660
I stepping in right now Glenn Burke and the first big foul back first strike

887
01:39:14,660 --> 01:39:22,340
Was too many years ago an operation on the arm and the elbow or whatever and out about into this but now they have

888
01:39:22,900 --> 01:39:26,140
Got it to such a size and degree that anything can happen

889
01:39:27,260 --> 01:39:30,020
First takes low one ball one strike one and one

890
01:39:31,780 --> 01:39:39,300
Last half of the six inning Phillies leading the Dodgers five to one Baker at first first they hit her throw to first base

891
01:39:39,300 --> 01:39:41,300
I

892
01:39:43,300 --> 01:39:47,420
Already blocked the man to second who later scored on a single by low

893
01:39:48,860 --> 01:39:52,380
Here's the one one pitch and Bert fouls it away

894
01:39:58,740 --> 01:40:05,300
When Monday who had back fathoms in his back that lasted almost the final three and a half months of the season

895
01:40:05,300 --> 01:40:08,420
First played a lot of baseball

896
01:40:08,420 --> 01:40:13,980
Monday not playing tonight because of an ailing back and possibly the fact that curls on the left handers on the mound

897
01:40:14,500 --> 01:40:17,220
That's all is outside the birth two balls two strikes

898
01:40:18,340 --> 01:40:21,460
So in birth waiting now Baker drifting off the first

899
01:40:21,900 --> 01:40:28,340
The two-two delivery on the way ground ball in the hole grab I spent what a plan they make the fourth the second

900
01:40:28,980 --> 01:40:30,980
Mike Smith came from nowhere

901
01:40:30,980 --> 01:40:38,180
Nighting at the shortstop forcing Baker at second phase. You know the defense for the Phillies

902
01:40:39,220 --> 01:40:45,700
Really comes to life. No run the face hit one left. That's a six inning Phillies five Dodgers one

903
01:40:46,500 --> 01:40:54,900
Unbeaten Texas on the heels of a 72 to 15 triumph over rice last Saturday continues to dominate the NCAA division one team

904
01:40:55,060 --> 01:41:00,300
Statistics this week the first place standings and rushing scoring rushing defense and scoring defense

905
01:41:00,300 --> 01:41:03,120
The long horns have now outscored their opponent

906
01:41:03,780 --> 01:41:05,780
184 to 15 in three games

907
01:41:05,980 --> 01:41:11,140
Averaging 61 3.3 points per game against an average of just five

908
01:41:14,340 --> 01:41:19,220
Texas with its multiple set offense averaging 392.3 yards per game on the ground

909
01:41:19,820 --> 01:41:23,540
While healing an average rush of just 38.3 yards per game

910
01:41:23,540 --> 01:41:31,780
That fourth ranked Texas will be hard pressed to maintain its incredible offensive and defensive pace when he plays third ranked Oklahoma Saturday in Dallas

911
01:41:32,300 --> 01:41:38,820
Grammling meanwhile, this is place Brigham young in two offensive categories taking over the total offense lead with a

912
01:41:39,420 --> 01:41:42,180
536 yard average and passing offense with a

913
01:41:43,020 --> 01:41:44,460
374 yard average

914
01:41:44,460 --> 01:41:50,380
Louisiana Tech is this week's total defense leader with average yield of a hundred fifty two point seven yards per game

915
01:41:50,380 --> 01:41:59,140
That's three yards less than what Texas allowed or Southern University is tops and past defense by allowing just 14 completions

916
01:41:59,140 --> 01:42:02,100
in four games for an average yield of

917
01:42:02,740 --> 01:42:04,980
49.5 yards per game

918
01:42:05,700 --> 01:42:10,860
Tennessee is the net punting leader with a 45 point two yard average

919
01:42:11,460 --> 01:42:18,500
Grammling leads and putt returns with a 26.2 average and Minnesota is another one and kickoff returns

920
01:42:18,500 --> 01:42:20,980
With a 36 yard average

921
01:42:28,140 --> 01:42:32,980
In the seventh inning the bottom third of the ball game coming your way here from Dodger Stadium

922
01:42:32,980 --> 01:42:39,820
And the Phillies are sitting on top five to one Mike Schmidt Greg was in she's Dave Johnson the heart of the power of the Phillies

923
01:42:39,820 --> 01:42:41,820
Tipping in there against Charlie Huss

924
01:42:42,900 --> 01:42:45,100
Tommy John started it. He's on the hook

925
01:42:45,100 --> 01:42:52,100
Mike Garmin for a third inning and now Charlie Huss who gave up a run on the sixth the step again over the second inning out there as

926
01:42:52,660 --> 01:42:54,660
Schmidt takes outsize for a ball

927
01:42:55,580 --> 01:43:02,380
Mike safe on an error scored ahead of Lijewski's home when the first struck out and he bounced the third right hand batter

928
01:43:02,780 --> 01:43:04,780
big power

929
01:43:04,980 --> 01:43:06,420
Right in there

930
01:43:06,420 --> 01:43:08,260
One ball one strike

931
01:43:08,260 --> 01:43:14,940
Schmidt is reportedly to be the highest paid baseball player of them all at about five hundred thousand a year

932
01:43:16,020 --> 01:43:18,020
You won't say yes, and he won't say no

933
01:43:19,060 --> 01:43:21,060
The one-one pitch coming up to Schmidt

934
01:43:21,700 --> 01:43:24,540
The knuckleball swung on a miss the ball and two strikes

935
01:43:28,180 --> 01:43:30,740
Mid another big year thirty eight home runs

936
01:43:32,260 --> 01:43:36,860
101 RBI walked a hundred four times and scored over a hundred runs

937
01:43:36,860 --> 01:43:40,980
He did it all and one of the finest defensive third baseman in baseball

938
01:43:43,540 --> 01:43:47,860
The one two pitch coming on and it's low and outside two balls two strikes

939
01:43:50,340 --> 01:43:55,060
Rarely will you get a man with that kind of hitting talent that can play his position with any of

940
01:43:59,060 --> 01:44:02,740
The two-two pitch one out of this dropped by the catcher

941
01:44:02,740 --> 01:44:07,820
Yeah, there's up with it has to make the play the first and doesn't time so Smith strikes out

942
01:44:08,380 --> 01:44:12,060
Given a stiff the Jager is a play goes two to three

943
01:44:13,740 --> 01:44:19,100
Let's watch five seconds for station identification. This is the CBS radio network

944
01:44:19,220 --> 01:44:22,980
This is the American forces radio and television service

945
01:44:22,980 --> 01:44:24,980
It's the end of the

946
01:44:30,540 --> 01:44:35,980
Here's Greg was it's a you homework and walk twice one for one on this game and takes a strike in the middle

947
01:44:37,180 --> 01:44:43,620
After the air by the short-term bill Russell in the first inning was it's the hit one over that center field wall off of Tommy John

948
01:44:44,620 --> 01:44:46,620
The knuckleball dances in there

949
01:44:46,620 --> 01:44:55,180
Right to the zesty having a chat with the plate on fire ball prior first time we've seen any discussion with a plate on fire this evening

950
01:44:56,020 --> 01:44:58,620
Here's the two strike this the knuckleball

951
01:44:59,220 --> 01:45:02,460
Long and fouled away and Jager got that in the arms

952
01:45:03,660 --> 01:45:10,280
The zesty if you ever get mad to catch that knuckleball ball and just take a bite out of it. He may have some day

953
01:45:10,280 --> 01:45:17,960
I think I'm gonna be combined for more home runs 77 than any other two Philly the old mark was 75 in

954
01:45:18,440 --> 01:45:20,880
1929 by Chuck Klein and left the O'Doell

955
01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:27,000
But it's far short of the Roger Maris Mickey Mattlemark of 61 and 54 back in 61

956
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:29,000
You point against those colors in

957
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:37,560
a swing in a miss

958
01:45:39,440 --> 01:45:42,760
You have two down seven sitting a day's Johnson steps in

959
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:47,760
1961 a year when

960
01:45:48,680 --> 01:45:53,600
Mantle and Maris went down to the wire both of them into the 50s and certainly

961
01:45:53,600 --> 01:46:00,480
Madelgard the only came up with a virus there and faded and marriage went on to break the record and if anybody wants to say anything

962
01:46:00,480 --> 01:46:06,000
About Roger Maris. He just broke the wrong record any other record would have been alright. That was the wrong one

963
01:46:06,800 --> 01:46:10,360
Here's Dave Johnson stepping in there. He's one for three and he takes strike one

964
01:46:14,760 --> 01:46:16,760
The one strike pitch coming on

965
01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:25,600
Right to five to one Philly leading. We're in the seventh inning. We're also getting into the spot on the ball game with a Philly bullpen

966
01:46:27,200 --> 01:46:32,000
Could be in a position to help out and they've got a good one the two strike pitch in the dirt

967
01:46:32,320 --> 01:46:34,720
Dancers away and kicks off the shin guard

968
01:46:35,480 --> 01:46:39,160
The eager let's it fail off and he'll try another ball a ball and two strikes

969
01:46:39,160 --> 01:46:46,760
Yeah, you're always said there is no best way to catch the knuckleball. You just try to corral it Bob Uker says that you

970
01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:48,960
Let it roll and pick it up with a stop

971
01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:53,960
the one two pitch coming on that's another way gets away from

972
01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:56,280
Steve Jager

973
01:46:56,280 --> 01:47:00,040
Actually, I have in the latter part of the 77 season

974
01:47:00,440 --> 01:47:02,440
Jerry Grootie, you know very well

975
01:47:02,840 --> 01:47:04,840
for the men for many years

976
01:47:04,840 --> 01:47:11,360
Several times been to be a better with a glove behind a plate. I mean, he's got great hands that you do this

977
01:47:12,080 --> 01:47:14,080
And what on a miss?

978
01:47:14,080 --> 01:47:16,080
Charlie have right now to start

979
01:47:16,160 --> 01:47:18,160
Dave Johnson goes down swinging

980
01:47:18,720 --> 01:47:23,360
It's a one two three inning for the Phillies here in the seventh. We go to the last

981
01:47:24,840 --> 01:47:27,000
Philadelphia leading the Dodgers five to one

982
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:36,720
How to do a Reggie Jackson of the New York Yankees hit by two million dollar lawsuit for allegedly kicking a 13 year old boy following

983
01:47:36,880 --> 01:47:43,640
The all-star game that was announced to do it now today according to his attorney Nicholas arena as a result of the occurrence

984
01:47:43,640 --> 01:47:51,840
Chris Howell required psychiatric treatment as a suffered permanent injury the incident allegedly occurred in the parking lot outside Yankee Stadium

985
01:47:51,840 --> 01:47:56,400
Irina who said that Jackson would be served with court favors in the next 24 hours

986
01:47:56,760 --> 01:48:01,560
Said that the psychiatrist as well as the attending physician has indicated physical injury

987
01:48:01,880 --> 01:48:08,080
Involving laceration the boys wrist and he's well now though on his way to a recovery as to other damages

988
01:48:08,080 --> 01:48:13,760
They seem to be permanent as if other damages referred to mental problems the attorney said yes

989
01:48:14,160 --> 01:48:19,800
Of course Jackson the Yankees opened the American League playoff series against Kansas City at Yankee Stadium

990
01:48:19,800 --> 01:48:21,200
on

991
01:48:21,200 --> 01:48:22,960
Wednesday

992
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:30,760
We have a story on the national football league the Patriots concerning John Hanna and Leon Gray and we'll chat about that next break we get

993
01:48:34,480 --> 01:48:39,920
We're going out to the bottom of the seventh inning the Phillies leading by a four five and one

994
01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:45,840
They got two runs in the first inning on a two-run home run by Greg Luzinski after an error had prolonged the inning

995
01:48:45,840 --> 01:48:49,040
And they got two more in our runs in the fifth inning

996
01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:55,600
We don't better Steve Garland was hit by a pitch ball that brought up a McBride who ran into a fourth place

997
01:48:56,000 --> 01:49:00,200
And then Larry Bull hit a ground ball to the left side of the second baseman

998
01:49:00,600 --> 01:49:07,000
Davey Lopes mostly the great play to get it fired it through the shortstop covering the second and Bill Russell was not in the bag

999
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:09,000
in all hands with safe

1000
01:49:09,200 --> 01:49:11,040
After another following

1001
01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:17,760
Of course play by Mike Smith walked the greats who's in he loaded up the bases in the single the center field by Johnson made of the

1002
01:49:17,760 --> 01:49:21,920
Four-nothing ball game now here's the bottom of the seventh and Jerry Coleman

1003
01:49:23,200 --> 01:49:28,880
Okay, Steve Yeager coming on he'll be followed by a pinch shooter for Charlie Huff and then back to the top of the order

1004
01:49:28,880 --> 01:49:33,880
And the Dodgers are down five to one and in trouble against deep Carl there the first pitch

1005
01:49:34,480 --> 01:49:36,680
Low and inside the Eager ball one

1006
01:49:36,680 --> 01:49:44,360
Preston Gomez coaching at third for Los Angeles Jim Gilliam over at first base for the Dodgers

1007
01:49:45,640 --> 01:49:47,640
The one-hole pitch on the way

1008
01:49:48,840 --> 01:49:52,360
Low and outside Yeager now runs the Cow two balls no strikes

1009
01:49:54,800 --> 01:50:01,600
Yeager met Dave Parker about a month and a half ago at home plate and was out for two weeks, but he's recovered completely

1010
01:50:01,600 --> 01:50:07,560
The two-hole pitch on the way to Yeager is good for a strike

1011
01:50:07,800 --> 01:50:13,880
Unlike the Steve Rose Ray bossy all-star collision bossy really never recovered well from that

1012
01:50:14,800 --> 01:50:21,240
Rathford six five two thirty got Yeager the same way and Steve managed to come out of it, but he was sore for some time

1013
01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:22,920
Here's the two one-pitch

1014
01:50:22,920 --> 01:50:25,320
One on a mess. Carl and his zipped at bio

1015
01:50:25,960 --> 01:50:27,960
two balls two strikes

1016
01:50:27,960 --> 01:50:31,960
Still nobody in the on deck circle

1017
01:50:32,160 --> 01:50:36,240
Second baseman size more is back on the lip of the outfield grad

1018
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:45,680
Here's the two-two pitch to Yeager and he struck him out just just a fastball by on the second time around

1019
01:50:46,320 --> 01:50:50,040
So Carl and has not really had a strikeout pitch going for him

1020
01:50:50,040 --> 01:50:53,360
It's only the third of the night, but he'll get it in spots when he needs it

1021
01:50:53,360 --> 01:51:04,760
Now Jerry Grody is coming on the hits for Charlie Huss that's speaking of Ralph Kanner's old buddy from the New York Mets

1022
01:51:07,760 --> 01:51:13,000
He almost retired this friend I understand he did retire he said he was all through playing baseball

1023
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:16,640
He's had a lot of back trouble, but then the Mets got him to come back

1024
01:51:16,640 --> 01:51:23,240
He played when he did play very well for the Mets and was fitted to the Dodgers as a backup free-agre and understand

1025
01:51:23,240 --> 01:51:25,240
He's done very well here for the Dodgers

1026
01:51:25,240 --> 01:51:29,280
Well, he's got a composite to 68 for the year and 60 ballgame

1027
01:51:29,280 --> 01:51:32,840
So Jerry Grody up there from the right side with one away and nobody on

1028
01:51:37,600 --> 01:51:41,440
Steve Carl, then who's finished 16 and they said 17

1029
01:51:41,440 --> 01:51:46,560
Game so far this year as a guy who usually does finish what he starts

1030
01:51:46,560 --> 01:51:53,560
He's into the seventh inning leading five to one and the first pitch is through at white spy go ready for strike one

1031
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:56,880
Carlton and 36 start

1032
01:51:57,240 --> 01:51:59,240
Completed 17 games this year

1033
01:51:59,720 --> 01:52:05,320
It's all left-hander it's complete control tonight. I've had a couple of moments, but not too many

1034
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:08,520
There's another fastball. It's right in a strike two

1035
01:52:08,520 --> 01:52:15,160
And Carlton doing what you'll see many good pitchers do when a man comes off that bench

1036
01:52:15,160 --> 01:52:17,160
They know they're cold they go right after

1037
01:52:18,480 --> 01:52:20,480
That two strike delivery

1038
01:52:20,640 --> 01:52:26,640
Filed away give her pinch as much as I did my last year and it's one of the worst jobs. I can think of

1039
01:52:27,520 --> 01:52:29,520
Never did like to do

1040
01:52:29,680 --> 01:52:31,680
No balls two strikes one away

1041
01:52:31,680 --> 01:52:41,160
Brody that's been catcher waiting on deck Dave Lopes. They pitch coming up by Carlton high and outside a

1042
01:52:43,400 --> 01:52:46,640
Ball of two strikes a capacity crowd here Dodger stadium

1043
01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:52,840
It's the first in the playoffs series between the Phillies and the Dodgers will go again tomorrow night with Longboard going against

1044
01:52:52,840 --> 01:52:58,600
The one-two pitch by Carlton

1045
01:52:59,200 --> 01:53:04,520
German bowled off roadie stayed with that night. So that ball dip hard. He got his bad off to stay alive

1046
01:53:07,760 --> 01:53:09,760
One ball two strikes one block

1047
01:53:11,080 --> 01:53:15,800
Outfield skating a little to the right side they give him left center out roadie back

1048
01:53:16,840 --> 01:53:20,000
Getting a better feel into the batter's box. He's about even with a plate

1049
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:26,400
He won two pitch on the way by Carlton low went for the slider and missed it two balls two strikes

1050
01:53:33,360 --> 01:53:35,360
To ball two strikes one away

1051
01:53:38,120 --> 01:53:42,880
Farrell then again into the line a band of two pitch a breaking ball low for three and two

1052
01:53:42,880 --> 01:53:48,720
I was just a baker on the fourth inning

1053
01:53:54,280 --> 01:53:58,560
Exchange of baseballs the counters three and two lobes in the on deck circle

1054
01:53:59,560 --> 01:54:03,360
Dodgers trailing five to one needs something and they needed a hurry

1055
01:54:03,360 --> 01:54:10,640
All right Carlton again gets a sign from a carver the pitch on the way to grody ground ball sharply third foul on the left side

1056
01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:14,360
That ball outside of the bag may be three or four feet

1057
01:54:18,280 --> 01:54:25,520
It is completely dark here Dodger stadium and has been the last inning and a half we started in brilliant sunshine clear skies

1058
01:54:25,520 --> 01:54:27,520
Weathers close to the 80s

1059
01:54:27,520 --> 01:54:32,920
Out of the way off a little the three to pit and he lost a ball for low and inside

1060
01:54:34,440 --> 01:54:38,040
Second walk given up by Carlton as fincheter Jerry grody

1061
01:54:38,640 --> 01:54:41,640
Trots down to first base and that's one of those situations

1062
01:54:42,640 --> 01:54:48,280
Where a veteran pitcher rarely let's it get away Adam no balls and two strikes and locked him to a walk

1063
01:54:48,680 --> 01:54:53,880
He did battling hard and foul a couple balls off and better like Jerry grody did not

1064
01:54:53,880 --> 01:55:01,240
He has played in two championship series and a message in both of those two series with grody catching one the more

1065
01:55:02,600 --> 01:55:08,880
Dave lobes who is one foot three in there right now grody at first and the pitch coming on is a line drive

1066
01:55:09,880 --> 01:55:11,880
They sit the left field

1067
01:55:13,280 --> 01:55:15,280
So lobes keeps it going

1068
01:55:16,280 --> 01:55:18,280
Incidentally we have a new first baseman

1069
01:55:18,280 --> 01:55:25,280
Tommy Hutton has come into play for Dave Johnson

1070
01:55:25,280 --> 01:55:28,280
He missed out on foot Hutton at first base

1071
01:55:28,280 --> 01:55:30,280
Johnson out of the ball game

1072
01:55:30,280 --> 01:55:34,280
The Dodgers have runners at first and second

1073
01:55:40,280 --> 01:55:42,280
Tommy Hutton has slipped in on us now

1074
01:55:42,280 --> 01:55:44,280
The Dodgers have runners at first and second

1075
01:55:44,280 --> 01:55:48,280
Here's Bill Russell who's gone 0-3 in the first pitch

1076
01:55:48,280 --> 01:55:52,280
Outside for a ball and a billy bullpen is starting to loosen up

1077
01:55:55,280 --> 01:55:59,280
One down runners at first and second moving on a 1-0 pitch

1078
01:55:59,280 --> 01:56:03,280
Bounce to third, Smith has it to race for the bag for one to throw to first

1079
01:56:03,280 --> 01:56:05,280
Not in time

1080
01:56:06,280 --> 01:56:11,280
Smith raced for the bag and threw off balance to first base and Russell feed it out

1081
01:56:11,280 --> 01:56:16,280
But grody has forced the third on an unassisted play by Mike Smith

1082
01:56:16,280 --> 01:56:18,280
Down to second goes Lobe

1083
01:56:19,280 --> 01:56:22,280
At first base Bill Russell and here comes Reggie Smith

1084
01:56:32,280 --> 01:56:38,280
Gene Gubber a short right hander throwing as Lobe hits the third base and Smith hits one high in here

1085
01:56:38,280 --> 01:56:41,280
But foul on the left field side

1086
01:56:41,280 --> 01:56:43,280
Davey Lobe with two outs was taking off

1087
01:56:43,280 --> 01:56:46,280
Russell wasn't with him

1088
01:56:46,280 --> 01:56:50,280
Smith did a long high drive down the left field line for strike one

1089
01:56:50,280 --> 01:56:55,280
That's rather an unusual play in a spot like that trailing five to one

1090
01:56:55,280 --> 01:56:57,280
You better make it

1091
01:57:01,280 --> 01:57:03,280
Lobe's obviously going on a zone

1092
01:57:03,280 --> 01:57:05,280
Russell was not running with him

1093
01:57:05,280 --> 01:57:08,280
Goes back to second base

1094
01:57:08,280 --> 01:57:10,280
A one strike countdown

1095
01:57:11,280 --> 01:57:16,280
And there's sort of an awkward attempt to pick off a second that doesn't know anywhere

1096
01:57:16,280 --> 01:57:18,280
It goes round again

1097
01:57:25,280 --> 01:57:28,280
Here's Cowlin's pitch on the way to Smith and it dies

1098
01:57:28,280 --> 01:57:30,280
One ball, one strike

1099
01:57:30,280 --> 01:57:34,280
Keith Cowlin missed the plate by a foot and a half that time

1100
01:57:34,280 --> 01:57:39,280
And when those pitchers start to lose that groove and their pattern starts to become upset

1101
01:57:39,280 --> 01:57:42,280
The manager starts to look for something

1102
01:57:42,280 --> 01:57:45,280
Now one one delivery on the way to Smith

1103
01:57:45,280 --> 01:57:48,280
It's Cop foul, a good curve ball and he took a little off

1104
01:57:49,280 --> 01:57:52,280
One ball, two strikes, two outs

1105
01:57:54,280 --> 01:57:58,280
Billy's five runs six hits, the Dodgers one run and seven hits

1106
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:01,280
So the Dodgers at the moment have out hit the Phillies

1107
01:58:01,280 --> 01:58:05,280
But the Phillies have the run, four unearned runs

1108
01:58:05,280 --> 01:58:09,280
Dave's pitch coming up and this one is inside

1109
01:58:09,280 --> 01:58:12,280
Macarver thought he had to go two balls and two strikes

1110
01:58:15,280 --> 01:58:17,280
Will Russell at first

1111
01:58:17,280 --> 01:58:20,280
Davey lobes the second two and two on Reggie Smith

1112
01:58:20,280 --> 01:58:22,280
Ron Say and the on-deck curve ball

1113
01:58:22,280 --> 01:58:25,280
Here's the two-two delivery, curve ball fouled away again

1114
01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:30,280
You get the feeling here the way the Dodgers are getting closer and closer to Carl

1115
01:58:30,280 --> 01:58:34,280
And there's something good to explode if you make that one team a safe

1116
01:58:38,280 --> 01:58:41,280
Miss waiting from the right side, runners moving off again

1117
01:58:41,280 --> 01:58:43,280
And it's two-two, one more time

1118
01:58:43,280 --> 01:58:46,280
It's a check swing, they're asking for an appeal

1119
01:58:46,280 --> 01:58:48,280
They don't get it from the first base up by her

1120
01:58:48,280 --> 01:58:50,280
And it goes to three and two

1121
01:58:54,280 --> 01:58:57,280
So Reggie Smith, 0-3 in the ballgame

1122
01:58:57,280 --> 01:59:00,280
From the count ball, the runners will be going

1123
01:59:00,280 --> 01:59:03,280
5-1 Phillies, bottom of the 7

1124
01:59:03,280 --> 01:59:08,280
And there's a play at first base, the Tommy Hutton is way off the bag

1125
01:59:08,280 --> 01:59:12,280
Obviously, it holds the haven, they might get lobes going to third

1126
01:59:15,280 --> 01:59:17,280
Hutton is standing 30 feet off the bag

1127
01:59:17,280 --> 01:59:19,280
Alright, here's the three-two delivery

1128
01:59:19,280 --> 01:59:23,280
The kick, and it's on its way, a chopper on the third base side foul

1129
01:59:23,280 --> 01:59:28,280
This is the Dodgers' biggest threat in the ballgame

1130
01:59:28,280 --> 01:59:30,280
They got a run on a fifth inning

1131
01:59:30,280 --> 01:59:34,280
Right now they've got the men coming up there that can make it work

1132
01:59:34,280 --> 01:59:37,280
And now Reggie Smith with runners at first and second

1133
01:59:37,280 --> 01:59:40,280
Getting back in with a count of three balls and two strikes

1134
01:59:40,280 --> 01:59:43,280
Ron Stey waiting in the on-deck circle

1135
01:59:45,280 --> 01:59:48,280
Smith's 32 home runs this year, holds the bad high

1136
01:59:48,280 --> 01:59:50,280
Here it is, it's on the way and it's

1137
01:59:50,280 --> 01:59:52,280
Ball four, they're loaded up

1138
02:00:13,280 --> 02:00:15,280
The base of their loaded

1139
02:00:15,280 --> 02:00:20,280
Lobes at third, Russell at second, Smith at first

1140
02:00:20,280 --> 02:00:23,280
And Mr. Vitting the tying run, Ron Stey

1141
02:00:23,280 --> 02:00:28,280
Carlton into his wind-up, fastball, high and over, and hit ball one

1142
02:00:38,280 --> 02:00:41,280
Here's Carlton once again, and the 1-0 pitch

1143
02:00:41,280 --> 02:00:45,280
One on a miss, one ball, one strike, a fastball, that's a letter

1144
02:00:47,280 --> 02:00:52,280
Jean Garver, analyzing with a right-hand pitcher, throwing in a silly bullpen

1145
02:00:55,280 --> 02:01:00,280
Dodgers trying to climb back into the ballgame, there's three-lane, five to one, bottom of the seventh

1146
02:01:00,280 --> 02:01:04,280
Carlton in his only severe jam of the game

1147
02:01:05,280 --> 02:01:09,280
Get the size of McHarver, here is Carlton's delivery at its high

1148
02:01:09,280 --> 02:01:11,280
Two balls and a strike

1149
02:01:21,280 --> 02:01:27,280
Carlton again, ready, the 2-1 pitch to say, and it's high for three balls, one strike

1150
02:01:27,280 --> 02:01:34,280
The ball is back to the ballgame, and it's high for three balls

1151
02:01:34,280 --> 02:01:38,280
So Steve Carlton is digging a hole for himself out there

1152
02:01:38,280 --> 02:01:42,280
Three balls, one strike, two away, base is loaded, here's the pitch

1153
02:01:42,280 --> 02:01:44,280
Bow back three and two

1154
02:01:49,280 --> 02:01:54,280
Ron Stey into the season, over 31

1155
02:01:54,280 --> 02:01:59,280
He's tangled in the second inning in his first set-back, struck out about the third

1156
02:01:59,280 --> 02:02:02,280
And now Carlton will come to a set position

1157
02:02:03,280 --> 02:02:07,280
Runner's moving off, they'll be on the way, here's the kick and the delivery

1158
02:02:07,280 --> 02:02:09,280
Bow back, we'll do it again

1159
02:02:13,280 --> 02:02:17,280
Loak going back to third, Russell to second, Smith to first

1160
02:02:17,280 --> 02:02:20,280
Ron Stey, batting in that queen of fucks

1161
02:02:20,280 --> 02:02:24,280
Right behind him, Steve Garvey, another dangerous hitter

1162
02:02:26,280 --> 02:02:28,280
Three balls, two strikes

1163
02:02:28,280 --> 02:02:36,280
Carlton ready, he sets, the big left hander unloads and say, when after a third ball might have been questionable

1164
02:02:37,280 --> 02:02:42,280
The ball looked like it was low on inside and out of the strike zone, but it was a good curveball and a good spot

1165
02:02:42,280 --> 02:02:45,280
And he just couldn't stop his swing, he did foul a long

1166
02:02:45,280 --> 02:02:52,280
The Phillies are holding a four run lead, but the Dodgers try to climb back into the game

1167
02:02:52,280 --> 02:02:57,280
They have the bases loaded, two outs, three and two on the batter, Rocks say

1168
02:02:57,280 --> 02:02:59,280
And Carlin is set again

1169
02:03:00,280 --> 02:03:04,280
Here it is, it's on the way to stay and he hits it hard, left batter field

1170
02:03:04,280 --> 02:03:15,280
That's what's tied up, it's going, going, going

1171
02:03:34,280 --> 02:03:36,280
That's what's tied up

1172
02:03:36,280 --> 02:03:47,280
The Dodgers are going to play a game

1173
02:03:47,280 --> 02:03:54,280
That's what's tied up, that's what's tied up

1174
02:03:54,280 --> 02:03:56,280
That's what's tied up, that's what's tied up

1175
02:03:56,280 --> 02:04:17,280
And the Dodgers are going to play a game

1176
02:04:17,280 --> 02:04:38,280
And the Dodgers are going to play a game

1177
02:04:38,280 --> 02:04:48,280
And the Dodgers are going to play a game

1178
02:04:48,280 --> 02:04:58,280
And the Dodgers are going to play a game

1179
02:04:58,280 --> 02:05:08,280
The Phillies sitting on top of a five to one lead, as seen at Meltz, it's all even at five

1180
02:05:08,280 --> 02:05:14,280
And now Garvey is on her first base, and here comes manager Danny Ozark

1181
02:05:14,280 --> 02:05:30,280
Incredible drama here, the electricity in this ballpark, unbelievable

1182
02:05:30,280 --> 02:05:41,280
And that's all for Steve Carlin, and we'll be looking to the bullpen to see who comes in more

1183
02:05:41,280 --> 02:05:57,280
And the little guy, Gene Garver with a full beard is coming in, and he'll be taking up the pitching chores for going off

1184
02:05:57,280 --> 02:06:00,280
Yeah, he'll be going up against Dusty Baker

1185
02:06:00,280 --> 02:06:03,280
If he gets just tuned in, we'll set the stage for you

1186
02:06:03,280 --> 02:06:12,280
And the first inning with two outs, Mike Schmidt safe on an error, followed by a Greg Lozinski home run, gave the Phillies two on earned runs

1187
02:06:12,280 --> 02:06:20,280
In the fifth inning, Steve Carlin started it by getting hit by a pitch, he was forced to second base

1188
02:06:20,280 --> 02:06:27,280
Then an error by the shortstop, Bill Russell kept things rolling

1189
02:06:27,280 --> 02:06:35,280
Greg Lozinski walked, Dave Johnson drilled a single, and it makes it loaded for two more runs

1190
02:06:35,280 --> 02:06:43,280
Phillies got another run on the sixth inning, and a single by McFarver, a second by Seyforn, a single by Farleden

1191
02:06:43,280 --> 02:06:57,280
The Dodgers got a run on the fifth to make it five to one, a single by Lacey, he was the second base, he came in on Dave Lozinski

1192
02:06:57,280 --> 02:07:02,280
And then the Dodgers here in the seventh inning

1193
02:07:02,280 --> 02:07:16,280
DJ Gers started it by Waukeha, striking out rather, Jerry Grootie, who's getting for Charlie Huff through a walk, Dave Lozinski, Bill Russell, forced Grootie at third

1194
02:07:16,280 --> 02:07:25,280
A walk to Smith, and then a grand plan home run by Rod Sey, where the base is loaded, brought the Dodgers right back into it at five

1195
02:07:25,280 --> 02:07:33,280
That was followed by Steve Garvey's single, and that's all for Steve Garvey, and now the little guy, Dean Garver, coming on

1196
02:07:33,280 --> 02:07:43,280
Ron Sey had grand slam homeruns on April 24th against Atlanta and on May 5th against Tom Siever of the New York Mets

1197
02:07:43,280 --> 02:08:00,280
So Ron Sey was a grand slam home run here in the championship playoff game, getting his third of the year, and it was a dramatic home run to tie up the ball game here in the seventh inning in the proud capacity crowd going wild

1198
02:08:00,280 --> 02:08:16,280
Ok, Dean Garver coming in, he is four and one with nine of the days this year, going up against Dusty Baker, and the Dodgers crowd is delirious, the ball even at five

1199
02:08:16,280 --> 02:08:36,280
We're in the last half of the seventh inning, five, five ties, Garvey at first base belongs to Carlton, so if he's just four, then the run will be charged to Carlton

1200
02:08:36,280 --> 02:08:54,280
The pitch on the way to Baker is right on their first strike, the grand slam home run by Ron Sey was the first in National League Championship Series history, and it was a low streaming line drive over that 370 mark in left center field

1201
02:08:54,280 --> 02:09:09,280
The least five runs six in, Dodgers five runs nine in, Dusty Baker one for two in the ball game, last time up, had an infield hit the third, that's right of first and Garvey gets back

1202
02:09:09,280 --> 02:09:27,280
Garver is ready, little right hander, there goes Garvey, the third and second base, not in time, Garvey steals it

1203
02:09:40,280 --> 02:09:58,280
The Dean Garvey, steals up the wreath, he represents the tie breaking run at second base, a one one count of Dusty Baker, and suddenly the Dodgers who appear to be dead buried are back alive and kicking

1204
02:09:58,280 --> 02:10:16,280
The one one pitch, one on a missed by Baker, a ball and two strikes, Garvey during the season, goal nine base, this is a six one on a brain here in the playoffs and it's a big one

1205
02:10:16,280 --> 02:10:38,280
The one two count on Baker, Garver's next pitch, close, her ball, he stuck him out, so Dean Garver ends it all by flaking out Dusty Baker, but the Dodgers pick up four runs, on three base, just in a man left, we go to the eighth inning, Billy's five, the Dodgers five

1206
02:10:38,280 --> 02:11:03,280
In 1976 when the Phillies won the national championship in the Eastern Division, they came out of the gate like Seattle's flow in a six four long race, they had a 15 and a half game lead in late August, August 24th, to be exact, then saw that made Gwinno the three games over to Pittsburgh by Hawks on September 17th, but then they recovered the win by nine

1207
02:11:03,280 --> 02:11:26,280
This year the Phillies started like two people in the gunny sack race, the Dodgers lost to home opener, they weren't just one of their first seven, and by the end of the month of April they had a record of seven and nine, and were dead last, it wasn't until a month into the season that they reached the 500 level for the first time, it was on May 12th when the Dodgers won their fourth game on its way to a second consecutive 20 game season,

1208
02:11:26,280 --> 02:11:39,280
Phillies won 12th on the next 15, they lost 4-0 and by the end of the month of May, Phillies were four three games back, but they went on to win it by five and the Phillies now tied up here in Los Angeles

1209
02:11:39,280 --> 02:12:06,280
Soler joins the top of the eighth inning, the Phillies five runs on six hits, the Dodgers five runs on nine, and back for the play-by-play, Jerry Coleman, Elias Sosa right-hander who's been the most effective of all the Dodgers of both then pitchers is coming on right now, when the Dodgers clinched the title at San Francisco on September the 20th,

1210
02:12:06,280 --> 02:12:25,280
Sosa slips on the west floor and sprained his wrist and was out of weak, but he apparently is okay now, his last 44 appearances covering 63-2-3 innings, his earned run average is a spark like 1.97, he's not allowing earned runs in his last nine appearances

1211
02:12:25,280 --> 02:12:38,280
So Jay Johnstone is coming in now to back for Jerry Martin as manager Danny Ozarka is starting to go to that celebrated back of his, Elias Sosa, the fourth Dodger pitcher

1212
02:12:38,280 --> 02:12:59,280
This is turning into a real street fight out there, we're in the eighth inning all even at five, Johnstone waiting at Sosa Deliverers, high for ball one, Jay Johnstone and Jerry Martin generally, fear right field depending on what kind of a pitcher's out there

1213
02:12:59,280 --> 02:13:13,280
Johnstone waits for the next one and hits it high in the air, foul territory, say maybe over by the Dodger dugout and catch right get it, that landed on top of the dugout and say try to leap after it, couldn't reach it

1214
02:13:13,280 --> 02:13:35,280
Johnstone this year battled at 284, 15 home runs and 59 RBI, this is along to the California angles many years ago and then drifted around to the White Sox and finally fouled his niche in life with a filly, that a big year last season

1215
02:13:35,280 --> 02:13:51,280
Jay Johnstone, from the left side has a one ball one strikeout, here's Sosa Delivery and hit into center field, that's where he strikes back as Russell moving around a little more and the trick stops after

1216
02:13:51,280 --> 02:14:12,280
Johnstone is out on a short top into center field, one away in the eighth inning and that'll bring out Jim Macarver, Macarver struck out he walked, he singled and he scored the fifth Philadelphia run and as it stands right now a mighty big run

1217
02:14:12,280 --> 02:14:29,280
Dodgers five the Padres five, pardon me the filly five, five five strikes, Macarver waiting from the left side and swings and this is a fast ball first strike, Sosa looks like his fast ball is riding

1218
02:14:29,280 --> 02:14:56,280
Johnstone, rather Macarver waits and he checks inside, one ball one strike, one and one Macarver, Jim Macarver, that's when the left pad hitting catcher waiting, Elia Sosa

1219
02:14:59,280 --> 02:15:08,280
gets the side from Jaeger and the Delivery, a hard shot grabbed by Garvey, Garvey pulled it down and was headed for right field and Steve comes up for the good one

1220
02:15:08,280 --> 02:15:37,280
Johnstone, Macarver robs to the base hit and now Ted Seismore is about it, Seismore bounce the short to third and lay down a sacrifice bunch, top of the eighth inning, Philadelphia five runs six hit, Dodgers five runs nine hit, outfield plays Seismore to the right side and gets him left center, all of left center

1221
02:15:38,280 --> 02:15:48,280
Sosa, Macarver asks for an appeal on a check swing and the first place umpire, Bob Angle says he did not go around, ball one Macarver, two down, nobody on, top of the eighth

1222
02:15:48,280 --> 02:16:17,280
Here's Sosa's delivery and a tie, two balls no strike, Sosa now waiting, it's all right, enter from the Dominican Republic, fires away and this one is sitting in the center field, a real keen play for Glenburne, third time in the game,

1223
02:16:18,280 --> 02:16:31,280
and the ball is drifting in, Casualia takes the corner bird out for Philadelphia in the eighth, three up and three down, after seven and a half Philadelphia five, Los Angeles five

1224
02:16:31,280 --> 02:16:55,280
John Hanna and Leon Gray have returned to the New England Patriots camp today, they two all pro linemen have walked out before the start of the season, they will remain with the club for the rest of the year and resume contract talks after the final game, return marks the major victory for club owner Bill Sullivan who felt he would be letting all national football league owners down if he gave in demands of two players,

1225
02:16:55,280 --> 02:17:03,280
Coach Chuck Fairbanks welcome to play his return, so the Patriots will negotiate their contract in good faith at the end of the season

1226
02:17:03,280 --> 02:17:26,280
All of Philadelphia Phillies this year had to come from way back to women's camp and chip, month of July thought of Phillies make their move, helped considerate considerably by the pumping times they had lost the services of their ace and relief-efficient new suitors,

1227
02:17:26,280 --> 02:17:47,280
and the game is back in the cup, the record for July was 19 and 10, Phillies took over the league for the first time of the year with an 8-3 win over the Dodgers on August the 4th, so that's the way the Phillies got going and they hit them back in the past, in April, May and then in July started to make their move

1228
02:17:47,280 --> 02:17:56,280
and right now we're going to the bottom of the 18th and Phillies tied now with the Dodgers 5-5, the Dodgers coming up and once again here's Jerry Coleman

1229
02:17:56,280 --> 02:18:06,280
Ok several changes, some defensive changes, Bob Boone has moved in to do the catching for Philadelphia, Jay Johnson stays in Ricefield

1230
02:18:06,280 --> 02:18:19,280
Tommy Hutton first base, has the tie for head second, Larry Ball, that short stuff, Mike Schmidt at third, on the mound, Gene Garber, now Rick Mundy is coming on to hit for the Dodgers, he plays in Glenn's first

1231
02:18:19,280 --> 02:18:45,280
and the Dodgers are ready for the first place, Rick Mundy, Mundy a left hand batter hit 230 in the regular season, 15 homers, 48 RBI's, he had back spasms almost throughout the entire year, here's Garber's first pitch to Mundy, a thinker low on outside for ball one

1232
02:18:45,280 --> 02:18:56,280
we're in the last half of the eighth inning, Phillies 5-5, the Dodgers 5, Dodgers tied it up on Ron Faye's grand slam home run on the bottom of the seventh

1233
02:19:00,280 --> 02:19:06,280
Mundy waits, Garber fires, then a swing and a miss, right one, one ball, one strike

1234
02:19:06,280 --> 02:19:24,280
Mundy's average dipped badly after he hurts that back and that was back on May the 31st, third ball, outside, two balls, one strike, two and one

1235
02:19:24,280 --> 02:19:37,280
Mundy on May the 31st was batting at 272 and we mentioned he finished the season at 230 after hurting that back, there's a swing and a miss by Rick for strike two, two balls, two strikes

1236
02:19:37,280 --> 02:19:48,280
Mundy the first ball player ever drafted by the then Kansas City A's when the new draft system came into effect back in 1965

1237
02:19:48,280 --> 02:19:57,280
3-2-2 delivery moving in, strike three, got him, last ball right at the knee, so Mundy walks away, called out on strike

1238
02:19:57,280 --> 02:20:06,280
Garber is pitch to two men, he struck out Baker at the end of seventh and gets Mundy open up in the eighth, now here's Steve Yeager stepping in

1239
02:20:06,280 --> 02:20:16,280
Yeager pops the second, bounce the third and he struck out, over three, right hand hitter

1240
02:20:16,280 --> 02:20:30,280
One down, nobody on, five, five, tie, last half of the eighth, Garber's delivery is a hard slider outside for a ball

1241
02:20:30,280 --> 02:20:52,280
Garber's only about five, ten, 155 with 60 rounds, turns his back on the hitter, that throws that slow curveball, that's a one hopper right back to him, he, underhand cost goes over to Hutton and that's all for Yeager, play goes one to three

1242
02:20:52,280 --> 02:21:06,280
Now Elias Sosa coming on to bat himself, the Dodgers who have used four pitchers in the ballgame, Tommy John, Mike Garmin, Charlie Huff and now Elias Sosa

1243
02:21:06,280 --> 02:21:12,280
and the pitchers are record right now are Sosa at the plate and Garber on the mound

1244
02:21:12,280 --> 02:21:39,280
Sosa as a hitter is one for four this year, right hander waiting, two down, nobody off and the pitch, a hard drop all to second, one hopper, ties more hazard, over to Hutton and Sosa's cut down, that play goes four to three

1245
02:21:39,280 --> 02:21:47,280
Very quick innings for Gene Garber, three up and three down, we go to the ninth, Billy's five and the Dodgers five

1246
02:21:47,280 --> 02:22:10,280
The NCAA has placed the University of Houston and Portland State University on a one year probation in football, both teams are barred from participating in postseason games and appearing in televised games, the NCAA Committee on Infraction is found violation by Houston in recruiting inducements, excessive recruiting contact and improper transportation

1247
02:22:10,280 --> 02:22:23,280
The Portland School was put on probation for allowing two ineligible players to compete, the committee statement said the Houston violation resulted in what it called a distinct competitive advantage in recruitment of a young man

1248
02:22:23,280 --> 02:22:41,280
The University of Houston was considered by many observers to be one of the top football prospects in the country, University's most promising recruit this year was considered to be Darrell Shepherd, a quarterback more desid, Texas high school, Shepherd had publicly said he would sign with the University of Texas but changed his mind just before the Southwest

1249
02:22:41,280 --> 02:22:54,280
The NCAA statement said the University would publicly reprimand head football coach Bill Yeoman as well as one of his assistants

1250
02:22:54,280 --> 02:23:12,280

1252
02:23:35,280 --> 02:23:46,280
We go to the top of the ninth inning and Richie Hefner, formerly with a Pittsburgh Fires who played out his options, signed all of the Phillies coming on to take his wife, Ed Healy and Sosa

1253
02:23:46,280 --> 02:24:04,280
Hefner left hand batter waiting for the first one to add a Pittsburgh strike, over the year Hefner battered his 285 with 18 homers and 62 RBI, Doug McGraw throwing in the Philly Bullpen, Rick Roaden doing some work in the Dodger Bullpen

1254
02:24:04,280 --> 02:24:24,280
Hefner swings him to strike two and Sosa has been on the money, he's been coming on on the eighth inning, he retired the side in order on the eighth, he's after Hefner now, no balls and two strikes and it is the top of the ninth inning a 5-5 tie

1255
02:24:24,280 --> 02:24:41,280
Hefner waits, the two strike pitch, high and in, way up there, one ball, two strikes, the outfield is spread out, Smith on the line and right, Baker on the line and left and Monday shading a little into left center

1256
02:24:41,280 --> 02:25:01,280
Hefner, in field or Steve Garvey, the first baseman near the line, say the same as third, everybody protecting against that extra base hit, Hefner, a ball and two strikes waits and here's Sosa's next delivery, the high kick and the check swing that goes into the Dodger dugout, one ball and two strikes

1257
02:25:01,280 --> 02:25:29,280
So Sosa very calm, one match held up here as he grew up to the next inning, there's a high pop up way up there, coming after it is Garvey almost to the plate as Steve is under and makes the play

1258
02:25:29,280 --> 02:25:37,280
Steve Garvey came to within 20 feet of all play to get that one but he had the angle on it and Yeager, why is he with him having?

1259
02:25:37,280 --> 02:25:56,280
Yeager says, you got it. So there's one away here in the ninth inning for Philadelphia, then opening on the top of the order, Bates McBride, Bride, Bengald, fly to right, pass to the pitcher on a buck and popped up to third, left hand hitter

1260
02:25:56,280 --> 02:26:12,280
Sosa gets the sign from his catcher Yeager and the first pitch on the way and McBride fouls it away, right watch

1261
02:26:12,280 --> 02:26:27,280
Zilly's at one time, let it, four to nothing, then four to one, then five to one and the grand slam home run by Ron Sway and the bottom of the seventh, even things up at five apiece and that's where we stand here in the ninth inning

1262
02:26:27,280 --> 02:26:54,280
The one strike pitch moving into McBride is a check swing called two strikes, no balls and two strikes, McBride tried to check a swing, couldn't quite keep the bat from rolling around, third base umpire Bruce Breming, raised the right arm and it's no balls, two strikes, one down, nobody on

1263
02:26:54,280 --> 02:27:07,280
The right handers Sosa ready again and the pitch almost hit him, way inside a slider that kept coming out of him, one ball and two strikes

1264
02:27:07,280 --> 02:27:14,280
McBride continues to throw in the bullpen for the Philadelphia Phillies

1265
02:27:14,280 --> 02:27:24,280
Here's the one two pitch, coming up and McBride chopped it to the right side base hit, so the Phillies get one of the fastest men in the league on its first base with one away

1266
02:27:24,280 --> 02:27:41,280
McBride with that single, put the potential winning runner's first base with one away and baked McBride with 36 stolen bases this year, led the Phillies in that department, he was cut down only seven times

1267
02:27:41,280 --> 02:27:57,280
Now Larry Bowler the batter, Bowler get into a double play, bounce the first, save one of the error and popped up the first, infield very shallow, man are they in there, almost looks like they're playing at the plate

1268
02:27:57,280 --> 02:28:08,280
Bowler waiting, take low, say he was possibly looking for the but, he kept creeping in thinking Bowler might try to dump one that way

1269
02:28:08,280 --> 02:28:23,280
Ball one to count, out to you, way off to the left side, low shallow at second, Russell the famous short, stay way in a third, Garvey holding against McBride at first base, and Jaeger ready behind the plate

1270
02:28:23,280 --> 02:28:32,280
Sosa kicks and the pitch on the way, a line drive over the head of Lowes, McBride goes to second and has to hold on, the ball has hit that hard

1271
02:28:32,280 --> 02:28:40,280
On the other hand Reggie Smith because of Bowler, lack of power was way in there and had a chance to keep McBride at second

1272
02:28:40,280 --> 02:28:53,280
So back to back singles for the Phillies, McBride and Bowler, Bowler at first base, McBride at second, here's Mike Schmidt who's had the collar so far tonight

1273
02:28:53,280 --> 02:29:03,280
Schmidt was safe on an error on the first inning, struck out in the third and the seventh and bounced the third and the fifth

1274
02:29:03,280 --> 02:29:21,280
So the Phillies come up with two bases with one away off, Elias Sosa, Phillies five runs, Payton, Dodgers five runs and nine hits, and Mike Schmidt now with a chance to turn this game around

1275
02:29:21,280 --> 02:29:39,280
Sosa pulling at the back of his cap, Bowler a big lead at first, McBride not too big at second

1276
02:29:39,280 --> 02:29:48,280
Sosa checks and the pitch on the way to Schmidt, foul back, a fast ball he got on, Mike one

1277
02:29:48,280 --> 02:30:10,280
When you get the big hitters like Levincky and Schmidt, you run into one fatal flaw and that's the strikeout, Schmidt has struck out 122 times this year on Levincky 140

1278
02:30:10,280 --> 02:30:25,280
Here's the one strike pitch, line drive, Payton, now getting McBride in, Bowler is racing the third and the Phillies take the lead, 65 on a clutch strangle by Mike Schmidt

1279
02:30:25,280 --> 02:30:52,280
Successive base hit by McBride, Bowler and Schmidt and the Phillies are on top again by a run with Ray Glezynski stepping up

1280
02:30:52,280 --> 02:31:08,280
Ray Glezynski now with runners at the corners and the one thing that he wants to stay out of is that double play, Lance Rotson throwing in the bullpen for the Dodgers and left hander

1281
02:31:08,280 --> 02:31:24,280
And there's the ball, oh man can you imagine that, oh how do you like that, Elias Sosa's body is dipped off the rubber and fake the throw to first, both umpires

1282
02:31:24,280 --> 02:31:38,280
That second base, Wendell Stad at first base angle, yells for the block and the Dodgers fall to behind and I'll tell you Ralph Kiner in a spot like that if anything that can break your back, that was it

1283
02:31:38,280 --> 02:31:47,280
Rottor is arguing that he did break contact with a 50 rubber before making the move to first base, if he did that it would not be a block

1284
02:31:47,280 --> 02:31:55,280
Both umpires, that second and first, they'll call it immediately

1285
02:31:55,280 --> 02:32:09,280
So now the Phillies have a 7-5 lead, Schmidt is down at second base, coming in to score was Larry Boeck and here's Greg Glezynski with a chance to put the Phillies out in front by three

1286
02:32:09,280 --> 02:32:25,280
Glezynski takes low in inside, ball one, it's been a wild first ball game here in this National League playoff series, the Dodgers and the Phillies and the Phillies currently leading at 7-5 in the top of the ninth

1287
02:32:25,280 --> 02:32:34,280
The Dodgers have one more big lick and they've got all of their top men coming in, there's a foul back by Glezynski, one ball, one strike

1288
02:32:34,280 --> 02:32:42,280
The Dodgers will be setting up low, Russell and Reggie Smith to open up the bottom of the ninth

1289
02:32:42,280 --> 02:32:52,280
Glezy seven runs nine hits, Dodgers five runs nine hits

1290
02:32:52,280 --> 02:33:00,280
Alright sir sir, set, looks to Schmidt at second and Glezynski swings a missus strike two

1291
02:33:00,280 --> 02:33:15,280
The Dodgers gave away four unearned runs and now here in the ninth inning they have bought Pomeran

1292
02:33:15,280 --> 02:33:32,280
One ball, two strikes, one out, Greg Glezynski with that two run home on the first inning, put the Phillies on the board, the ground ball foul on the third base side, a ball and two strikes

1293
02:33:32,280 --> 02:33:53,280
Don't forget tomorrow night at 8-07 Eastern Daylight Time, Jim Lawnborn will be going for Philadelphia in that second ball game and he'll be up against Don Sutton, two X-Wap right handers, both veterans both know how to work

1294
02:33:53,280 --> 02:34:04,280
So for now a one-two count on Glezynski fires it away and this one is fouled away, hit the bat, Glezynski came back behind the plate

1295
02:34:04,280 --> 02:34:13,280
On Friday at Philadelphia, scheduled pitchers are Larry Christiansen, a youngster and Bert Hoot

1296
02:34:13,280 --> 02:34:19,280
So Christian Hoot will be going for the Phillies, Bert Hoot is for the Dodgers, that'll be on Friday in Philadelphia

1297
02:34:19,280 --> 02:34:29,280
Right now though the Dodgers are trailing in this one, seven to five, ninth inning, Greg Glezynski waiting, right hand batter

1298
02:34:29,280 --> 02:34:36,280
So if this pitch to Glezynski is high, a throw to second base and back at Schmidt

1299
02:34:36,280 --> 02:34:47,280
Two balls, two strikes, the way the National League umpires work, they work inside the bag and Harry Wendellstatt hit the deck as that throw is heading towards second base and make sure he wasn't in the way

1300
02:34:47,280 --> 02:35:00,280
Wendellstatt was cozyed up in a play at second base, with a runner, the offensive runner and the defensive player out there about the fifth inning and looked like all three of them were on the bag at once

1301
02:35:00,280 --> 02:35:14,280
Two balls, two strikes, one away, here's those who delivery, ground ball hit on the end of the bat at the second baseman, lobes as that he makes the play the first and moving the third as Mike Schmidt

1302
02:35:14,280 --> 02:35:28,280
So the play goes forward, a brachianist heads for third, he holds on and now Tommy Hutton, a former Dodger, comes on the bat in the spot that was started by Davey Johnson

1303
02:35:28,280 --> 02:35:37,280
Hutton came in defensively, he's a left hand hitter and an excellent first baseman, he came on defensively for Dave Johnson before the Dodgers tied it up

1304
02:35:37,280 --> 02:36:01,280
He's coming on right now to take his licks against Elias Sosa, Hutton left hand hitter, Sosa now waiting for Yeager's sign, Tommy Hutton bat at 300 this year, an 107 ball game but mostly in defense

1305
02:36:01,280 --> 02:36:18,280
He pulls one hard and foul off on the right side for strike one, Hutton in that 107 ball game was up over 81 times, he's had a couple of home runs, 11 RBI's, he primarily came on in the late innings as a defensive player

1306
02:36:18,280 --> 02:36:24,280
He's not a big man as first baseman Joe and has played some outfields for Philadelphia

1307
02:36:24,280 --> 02:36:37,280
Mike Schmidt at third, 7-5, Billy's leading the Dodgers ninth inning, Hutton hits a one hopper draft by Garvey and nice play by Dave Garvey to retire Tommy Hutton

1308
02:36:37,280 --> 02:36:46,280
The play is on his visit and that ends it but the Phillies pick up two runs on three base hits, no errors in a man left

1309
02:36:46,280 --> 02:36:55,280
As we go to the last half of the night, the Phillies lead the Dodgers 7-5

1310
02:36:55,280 --> 02:37:04,280
In tennis today in Atlanta, Janet Newberry of La Jolla, California defeated Jeannie Everett at Fort Lauderdale Park, that was in a first round match, a women's pro tennis tournament, scored 6-4, 6-1

1311
02:37:04,280 --> 02:37:11,280
Jeannie's sister, top seeded Chris Everett, is scheduled to play Bridgette Piper of South Africa tonight

1312
02:37:11,280 --> 02:37:18,280
So, play this for night competition of Billie Jean King, Virginia Wade and Dr. Renee Richards

1313
02:37:18,280 --> 02:37:27,280
Montana State fell from its perch as the number one team of the NCAA Division II ratings following last weekend 26-0 setback to Boise State

1314
02:37:27,280 --> 02:37:35,280
South Carolina State is now ranked number one ahead of New Hampshire, Jacksonville State, Boise State and Montana State

1315
02:37:35,280 --> 02:37:44,280
Whittenberg retained its spot as the head of Division III, Baldwin Wallace, which travels to Whittenberg this weekend is ranked second

1316
02:37:44,280 --> 02:37:51,280
Ithaca is third, followed by two Minnesota schools, Concordia and St. John

1317
02:37:51,280 --> 02:37:55,280
Top of the batting order now for the LA Dodgers

1318
02:37:55,280 --> 02:38:11,280
Well, a new pitcher in the ballgame for the Philadelphia Sully Sugma-Graw, veteran pitcher of playoff championship, was the star in one for the New York Met back in 1973 when he helped the Met take over the Cincinnati Red

1319
02:38:11,280 --> 02:38:19,280
So as we go to the bottom of the ninth, we look ahead to the Dodger batting order, it'll be two runs that they need and the leadoff batter will be Davie Loeb

1320
02:38:19,280 --> 02:38:25,280
So coming back for the play-by-play, Jerry Coleman

1321
02:38:25,280 --> 02:38:37,280
OK Ralph Tuck McGraw, 7-3 this year appearing in his 46th game, he was in 45 regular season games, earned an average of 2.67

1322
02:38:37,280 --> 02:38:51,280
The Sully's early in the year, you heard Ralph Tuck, Jim Lawnborn, the man who'll start tomorrow night's ballgame on the disabled list, and Chuck McGraw also on the disabled list and low and new whether they would take or for how long

1323
02:38:51,280 --> 02:38:57,280
On top of that, Jim Tuck's there, Vessel Epstein, who can hardly throw the ball across the infield

1324
02:38:57,280 --> 02:39:07,280
And that leaves both McGraw and Lawnborn done well and Chuck gives him to help out some guys at the time and the Sully's made a cake walk of it in the National League East

1325
02:39:07,280 --> 02:39:21,280
And now Chuck McGraw, coming on against Dave Loeb, Bill Russell and Reggie Smith, Sully's are leading at 7-5 but don't go away, this is not a pitcher's battle, it's a wild one

1326
02:39:21,280 --> 02:39:30,280
They came back from a 4 run-down and they put the tie up on Stays Grand Slammer on the 7th, they first picked the Loeb, his ball was

1327
02:39:30,280 --> 02:39:44,280
McGraw with that good through ball, wide out curve and a fast ball, and he can get them all over and he throws a good change on

1328
02:39:44,280 --> 02:39:53,280
Loeb's waiting, McGraw taking a lot of time and the 1-0 pitch by the Tuckers, outside 2-0

1329
02:39:53,280 --> 02:40:08,280
Tonight the 10 and 55,968th, the second largest Dodger Stadium crowd in history, it's back here, the 2-0 pitch, and it's in there for a strike, 2-1, 2 balls, 1 strike

1330
02:40:08,280 --> 02:40:19,280
Loeb's just 2-4 tonight, his last 2 times up the Ascingle, here's the 2-1 pitch by McGraw, there's a through ball, hit the 3rd, knocked down by Smith, bobbled and up with it over the 1st

1331
02:40:19,280 --> 02:40:28,280
Mike Smith looked like a juddler on that when it came up with a tough rest on it, it hit him in 3 spots before he finally held on to it

1332
02:40:28,280 --> 02:40:42,280
That play goes 5-3, one down, now Bill Russell moving in

1333
02:40:42,280 --> 02:40:50,280
Russell right hand batter is 0-4 for 4 tonight, Bill had a tough night on the field, has made a couple of critical errors and they led the 4 on there and rushed

1334
02:40:50,280 --> 02:40:56,280
Russell takes strike 1

1335
02:40:56,280 --> 02:41:03,280
The pitcher of record right now, Elias Surtse and Gene Garber

1336
02:41:03,280 --> 02:41:10,280
There's a through ball low, 1 ball, 1 strike to Bill Russell

1337
02:41:10,280 --> 02:41:20,280
It's the first game of the championship series in the National League between the Dodgers and the Phillies, and the Phillies hold a 7-5 lead with 1 away, last of the night

1338
02:41:20,280 --> 02:41:25,280
Russell chops one to the shortstop, up with it is Bola, the long throw, 2-0 away

1339
02:41:25,280 --> 02:41:32,280
The Larry Bola who gets rid of that ball with any of them, nails Bill Russell, this one goes 6-3

1340
02:41:32,280 --> 02:41:49,280
And now the Dodgers are down to their final outs, and here comes Reggie Smith

1341
02:41:49,280 --> 02:41:57,280
They first missed the Smith, hit on the ground, the second size were almost set on it to make sure, and this ball game is over

1342
02:41:57,280 --> 02:42:04,280
In the ninth inning, Cutmer-Graw came on and stopped them cold, 3-3 down for the Dodgers

1343
02:42:04,280 --> 02:42:18,280
The final score on this one, Philadelphia, 7 runs, 9 hits, no error, Los Angeles 5 runs, 9 hits and 2 errors

1344
02:42:18,280 --> 02:42:27,280
While there was an interesting ball game all the way around, the 20-6 had said that the Dodger pitching would be strong enough, but it was not picking in this ball game

1345
02:42:27,280 --> 02:42:32,280
Although Steve Carlton did pitch a very strong game up to the 7th inning

1346
02:42:32,280 --> 02:42:39,280
Fielding was the important part of the ball game, and also a very important call by second base umpire Harry Wendell-Satz

1347
02:42:39,280 --> 02:42:49,280
Filly scored first in the first inning, first man up McBride, single, but he was erased on a double play, and then Mike Smith was safe on an error by Bill Russell with a shortstop of the Dodgers

1348
02:42:49,280 --> 02:42:56,280
Greg Luzinski followed with a home run over the center field fence, and the Phillies had 2 runs, and they were both unearned

1349
02:42:56,280 --> 02:43:07,280
They added 2 more in the 5th inning, Alita Vatter was Steve Carlton, he was hit by a pitch ball, and then Bakeman-Bride, rounded the ball down to the second base man

1350
02:43:07,280 --> 02:43:15,280
The throw to the shortstop covering, Bill Russell was a good throw, but the shortstop Russell was not on the back

1351
02:43:15,280 --> 02:43:22,280
He returned the throw on the first base, but it was late, and there was a call of safe at second base, and that was the key to the inning

1352
02:43:22,280 --> 02:43:28,280
The Phillies were on the score 2 more runs on a single by Dave Johnson with 2 minutes, and they were leading by a score of 4-0

1353
02:43:28,280 --> 02:43:34,280
Dodgers got their first run of the ball game in the bottom of the 5th inning, Lee Lacey is a fence hitter, single to center field

1354
02:43:34,280 --> 02:43:42,280
David Lopes followed with a single, after a block and put Lacey down the second, and on that play, Lopes drove in the first Dodger run

1355
02:43:42,280 --> 02:43:46,280
They always didn't get another run to make it a 5-1 ball game in the 6th inning

1356
02:43:46,280 --> 02:43:55,280
A high copper throw to the shortstop, Bill Russell the went through 4 bases, head-sized Moore sacrificed the runner on down to second base

1357
02:43:55,280 --> 02:44:01,280
And then Steve Carlton batting against Charlie up, with a single to right field, and the Phillies were leading by a score of 5-1

1358
02:44:01,280 --> 02:44:10,280
It looked like Carlton was going to have an easy day of it with that big of lead, but in the 7th inning after striking out Steve Yeager

1359
02:44:10,280 --> 02:44:16,280
Jerry Groty worked out a walk on the 3-2 pitch, Dave Lopes single to left field, and Groty moved on down to second

1360
02:44:16,280 --> 02:44:25,280
Bill Russell was rounded into a fourth play, and runners were left on the base, but then Reggie Smith walked in and it was a bases loaded situation

1361
02:44:25,280 --> 02:44:31,280
Ron Say worked the count to 3-2, he had been 0-31 prior to this ball game at the end of the season

1362
02:44:31,280 --> 02:44:39,280
He fouled off a real tough pitch, a low-inside curve ball, and then hit a 3-2 fastball into the stands at left field to tie up the ball game at 5-5

1363
02:44:39,280 --> 02:44:43,280
