00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:18,000
On Sunday, October 9th, 1977, the New York Yankees faced the Kansas City Royals at Royal Stadium for Game 5 of the 1977 ALCS.

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:27,000
The series was tied at two games apiece. The Royals had stolen Game 2 in New York, and the Yankees counteracted with a big win in Kansas City facing elimination in Game 4.

4
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:33,000
For this fifth and final game, Royals manager Whitey Herzog sent Game 1 winner Paul Splittorf back to the mound.

5
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Billy Martin counteracted with starter Ron Guidry, who was the winning pitcher in Game 2.

6
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:47,000
This audio recording is from the New York WMCA radio broadcast featuring announcers Phil Rizzuto, Frank Messer, Bill White, Mel Allen, and Bert Knapp.

7
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:55,000
WMCA, Real People Radio.

00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:04,000
The Mel Allen-John Sterling pre-game show is brought to you by Cart Blanche. Since no credit card is accepted everywhere, you should have Cart Blanche.

9
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:15,000
The credit card, you need no matter what other credit card you have. And by Emory, the Air Force and Air Freight.

10
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Well, good evening everyone. For those of you who were up at about 11.30 on Friday night, heard me talking to myself here at WMCA and trying to get a clear line through to Miami, Florida where Mel Allen was.

11
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:45,000
We signed off that if the Yankees didn't win tomorrow, Saturday, I told Mel I was seeing all the old familiar places, wherever that is, wherever they are.

12
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:59,000
And he said, yeah, he said that the Yankees are going to have to find the winning recipe in Kansas City so that they had not done with any regularity the past few years.

13
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:09,000
And I allowed as to how I thought that, figure O had a little bit edge of agor and Mel agreed. And anyway, as you know, the Yankees did win and this is it.

14
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:20,000
This is the fifth and final game. It is the same. Two teams in the fifth and final game as last year. History repeats itself last year at Yankee Stadium.

15
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Chris Chambliss, homeward in the last of the ninth and the Yankees beat Kansas City. I don't know what's going to happen tonight.

16
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Mel, we have a lot of things to talk about. Usually I come in and do these shows with you and I say, you know, we're going to have to analyze.

17
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:44,000
How can you ever analyze? But tonight there really are a lot of things to do. And one thing I'm going to do tonight, which I'll tell you at the very top of the show, is I'm going to second guess.

18
00:02:44,000 --> 00:03:04,000
I'm going to have a chance to second guess. I really am. Hey, did we say, let me ask you a question, Miss Engineer. Did we say that the John Sterling Bell Allen pregame show was brought to you by, we did.

19
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Okay. So we've taken care of that. And it is 717. I could have answered that question because I was in there involved in reading some news reports about the weather, believe it or not, because I couldn't find anything else to read.

20
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
And I suddenly heard that and I came running into the studio.

21
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:41,000
I'm glad you did. Tonight it's Paul Splittoff of Kansas City and Ron Guidry for the Yanks. And I guess Mel, that maybe you ought to begin by perhaps allaying some fears of Yankee fans about Guidry, because he's pitching with two days rest.

22
00:03:41,000 --> 00:04:03,000
This is not abnormal at all for playoff or World Series competition. You'll be able to perhaps speak a little more since you were on the scene. In some of the instances I'm going to bring about, one occurs in 1957 when Milwaukee Braves were in unknown quantity.

23
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:19,000
And they started three pitchers. But as the series got down, they found that Lou Bredet was pitching best form. So they came to the seventh game and Bredet had pitched the fifth game and shut out the Yankees one to nothing.

24
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:30,000
He had won an earlier game in the series and so they came back with Lou Bredet with two days rest. And I slept outside the stadium. As a matter of fact, to get into the bleachers.

25
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:49,000
I think Bredet did too. Unfortunately, at the time, unfortunately for you, you were broadcasting the game on television. And Bredet finished his shutout again. But the point I'm making is that it's not abnormal and it wasn't in Bredet's case.

26
00:04:49,000 --> 00:05:04,000
So he won three games that year. Of course, he wasn't the first pitcher to win three games in a World Series. It hasn't happened too often. I wasn't around this time either, John, just to go back to a previous generation or so.

27
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:22,000
But it just cost my mind, believe it or not, this summer at Cooperstown. I went up to see the induction of the Hall of Famers, one of whom was from my university. He joined the Cleveland Indians in 1920.

28
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:38,000
I'm talking about Joe Sewell. His last three years in the Major League were spent with the Yankees. They traded him over to New York from Cleveland. And the interesting story about that. He was voted in by the Veterans Committee of the Hall of Fame.

29
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:54,000
But a Yankee pitcher named, he was a submarine pitcher, Carl Mays, inadvertently threw a pitch that beamed Cleveland shortstop Ray Chapman and killed him.

30
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:08,000
And of course, that's one of the historic things in baseball. And so they hurriedly called up this young University of Alabama graduate named Joe Sewell, who was getting some minor league experience down in New Orleans, called him up, played shortstop.

31
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:17,000
They won the penalty on a trist speaker. He was the shortstop when Bill Wamsgans made the only unassisted triple play in the history of a World Series.

32
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:30,000
To hear him tell about, he was standing around when that happened. He was in the 1932 World Series of the Yankees when Babe Ruth, allegedly pointed against Charlie Root to the center field, beaches and hit the home run.

33
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Although that's rather apocryphal, according to Joe McCarthy, who was managing the Yankees then after having managed the Cubs.

34
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:47,000
He's asking an answer, a question, and he gets way off in the left field, but I'm coming back. Stanley Kovalevsky, anyway, won three games for the Indians in that World Series.

35
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,000
I wasn't going to accuse you of being there either.

36
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,000
No.

37
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:56,000
It has happened before Harry Burkine did it, of course. But I'm just talking about people coming back with two days of rest.

38
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:08,000
That's done often in a series because you do it within, say, a week. Sometimes you don't have a day off with traveling. Sometimes you do. Speck Shays a rookie started the seventh game in 1947.

39
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:16,000
He volunteered because of the Yankee pitching short, so he didn't last long. But still, he made a third start.

40
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:27,000
In 1965, Sandy Kovacs pitched the last day of the season against Philadelphia in the second game of Doubleheader. The Dodgers didn't want to use them, but they lost the first game.

41
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:37,000
They went a race with the Giants and with the Pirates down the last day of the season. So they had to start Kovacs in the second game of the Doubleheader.

42
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Then the first day of the World Series fell on a Jewish holiday, and Kovacs was a very religious person, would not pitch on that Jewish holiday.

43
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:55,000
So they started Drivesdale. For those who are baseball fans, they know this anyway, so we should explain from the non-basable fans,

44
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:03,000
World Series falls with the regularity so that you can, with a day off, a travel pitch, one, four, and seven. You can pitch those games.

45
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:14,000
They came down to the seventh game, and Alston had a decision. Does he pitch a guy named Don Drivesdale with three days rest or Kovacs with two?

46
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:23,000
I was doing a show in Baltimore, Mel, and you know this writer who's rather a surpic individual. I asked him this question. His name is Neil Eskridge, the writer.

47
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:30,000
He said, well, you know, he said about whether or not they're going to pitch Kovacs. He said, you know, the other guy doesn't exactly have a broken arm.

48
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:38,000
But Alston did pitch Kovacs with two days rest rather than Drivesdale and Kovacs went on and beat Minnesota.

49
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:46,000
And that is going to, you're going to love this night, because I was standing on the platform in Baltimore trying to get a train today.

50
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:54,000
You obviously stood in a runway trying to get a plane out of Miami in the ring. And I thought to myself, you know, I haven't second-guessed all year,

51
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:01,000
fans second-guessed all the time, leads to arguments on the talk show. This time tonight, I'm going to second-guess, I'm going to second-guess both managers,

52
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:08,000
because I think they really need second-guessing. Now, we're going to get back with some of Mel's thoughts on the issues I'm going to bring up.

53
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Remember the Yanks and Royals, it's the final game of the year for one team. One team is going home losing...

54
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
It's like a one-game World Series.

55
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Absolutely. And boy, let me tell you something, there's much more pressure tonight than there will be in the World Series.

56
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Because if you lose this game, no one knows you are there. If you lose the World Series, you get paid very well and you've got that natural national spotlight.

57
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:38,000
And believe me, it's much tougher to lose the championship series than lose the play of the World Series. No one will know you're there.

58
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Anyway, it's 24 after 7, we'll be going to Kansas City at 8 o'clock and Mel and I'll be back right after this.

59
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Coarse recorder, oxygen masks, you're listening to the sound of one of the world's great air forces.

60
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,000
An air force with more planes at its disposal than Russia or even America.

61
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Ground equipment, clear.

62
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:08,000
An air force that flies more often and to more places than any airline in the world. It's Emory, the air force in air freight.

63
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:18,000
At Emory, we have more than just a fleet of planes at our command. We have a fleet of airlines where we reserve space on key flights of practically every airline carrying packages.

64
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:24,000
And we use hundreds of offline commuter and charter planes, even planes of our own where airline service is weak.

65
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:30,000
We also have thousands of people, thousands of trucks and hundreds of offices waiting for us on the ground.

66
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Control this as TWA 463, ready for takeoff.

67
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:42,000
The next time you have a package to ship, don't just ship it with an air freight company or even a package only airline, ship it with an air force.

68
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Emory, the air force in air freight.

69
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,000
It's 25 minutes after 7, what am I going to second guess about?

70
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Well, you'll find out right after this word about carte blanche from Mel Allen.

71
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Friends, the next time you have an appetite for fine French food, go directly to Bea Pierre at Duncoe, Long Island.

72
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Right here in the area of New York.

73
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000
And carte blanche it.

74
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Bea Pierre is one of many fine restaurants in New York where your carte blanche card will allow you to spoil, indulge and treat yourself to the kind of food nobody can make at home.

75
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Dinner somehow always tastes a little better when you have it with style, you know.

76
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Not that you don't have it with style at home, but you know how it is when you go out and you're more in style with your carte blanche card because people know carte blanche denotes more than an average measure of distinction and taste.

77
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,000
With a carte blanche card, you can travel with style too.

78
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:53,000
You can carte blanche your airline tickets, for example, carte blanche your rented car, carte blanche your hotel bill, and even carte blanche a vacation tour through Cart & Tour's.

79
00:11:53,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Keep your carte bill wherever you go, and carte blanche your way through over 250,000 doors all across the country, including Bea Pierre.

80
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:08,000
carte blanche it. You know you're going first class and so will everyone else.

81
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Okay, now anyway, I'm standing on this railroad station and waiting for the train to come in.

82
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,000
It was raining like crazy in Baltimore as I guess it did just about everywhere else in the east.

83
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000
I thought about the game today, Bell, and I thought about the show that we're going to do, both shows we're going to do.

84
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,000
It's kind of exciting. A final game, one game.

85
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,000
And here are my second guesses. First, let me second guess why they're Herzog, okay?

86
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,000
I got a story to tell you. I can almost read your mind.

87
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:44,000
You see, I can look at you now. Like you said, when you were in New York, Baltimore, and I was in Florida getting each of us getting ready to do football games,

88
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:51,000
it's hard to talk to one another or to anyone in conversation without being able to see each other's faces.

89
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,000
But I do have a story to tell you. Go ahead.

90
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:01,000
I'm not going to go into the long traditions or histories of this because everything in baseball is history and tradition.

91
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Also, not only do fans second guess as they do on my show all the time, but players second guess their manager.

92
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:15,000
I've never been associated with a manager or coach, including some of the best. Al Arbor and hockey, Gene Shoe and Red Holzman,

93
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Kevin Lockery and basketball, Earl Weaver and baseball, down Shule in football without that guy being second guessed by his players behind his back.

94
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:28,000
And, however, I think this is a first guess and not a second guess.

95
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Kansas City Royals, Whitey Herzog decided to pitch two left-handers in Yankee Stadium against the Yankees.

96
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,000
One of them, Paul Spodoff, pitched great. The other one, Andy Haslop, pitched very, very good.

97
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:50,000
But it isn't that they didn't pitch well. Mel, it's that Dennis Leonard didn't pitch till game three, so he can come back on one day's rest.

98
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:59,000
And he is their number one best pitcher. And the only thing I can think of is Casey Stengel in 1960, and I talked about it Friday night.

99
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:09,000
You remember it. He had it in his mind because Ford had only pitched half a year and he hadn't had his greatest year not to pitch him till the third game in New York,

100
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:17,000
even though Pittsburgh's four of his field was just as big as Yankee Stadium. And it cost him dearly because he had four pitched three and six.

101
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:25,000
And then in the World Series, your top pitcher pitches one, four and seven, your second pitcher, two and five, your next pitcher, three and six.

102
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:34,000
And Stengel's line was, we won't win the seventh game unless they're three days of rain. Of course, they scored nine runs, but lost it 10-9.

103
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,000
And I really believe.

104
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,000
The year of Manus Rasky.

105
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:44,000
That's right. Here is a blatant second guess. But I really thought at the time that I would have started Dennis Leonard, not that Spodoff didn't pitch well,

106
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000
and not that Haslop didn't pitch well. Gour did not pitch well, and the White pitched him.

107
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:57,000
But just so Leonard could pitch, if you pitch one, you can pitch five. Now, what are your thoughts on that? I'm going to get to Gidry in a moment.

108
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Well, quite obviously, everybody's been riding here, and most of us, you and I, in fact, talked about it.

109
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Everybody who was able to, particularly the first third of the season, threw left-handers against the Yankees because the Yankees' long ball power was all left-handed.

110
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:32,000
Left-handed hitters, Jackson and Nettles, Chambliss. And of course, while not in the category of a long ball hitter, still a guy that you want to keep off the bases,

111
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Mickey Rivers, a left-hand batter, they haven't been able to keep him off the bases too well up until now.

112
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:53,000
But whatever happens tonight is, of course, a different night. But that was the reason most people throw left-handers against the Yankees to neutralize their power.

113
00:15:53,000 --> 00:16:03,000
And they have been a team, somewhat like some of the old Yankee teams, who went to the beginnings this year, instead of playing like they did last year.

114
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Getting Rivers on, let us say, as an example, sacrificing him or moving him over, playing hit-and-run, stealing the bases, doing everything.

115
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:26,000
For example, Kansas City has been doing this year, utilizing their speed, making contact. And although I don't have my statistics with me for the year,

116
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:36,000
yet the teams were fairly even in total strikeouts. And I was surprised when I happened to check on that since I saw you last.

117
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:45,000
They're not too far off from one another in that department. Yet your long ball hitters do strike out more often than the fellows who are spray hitters,

118
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,000
or go for the doubles and triples. And this is something that Kansas City specialized in.

119
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,000
But I think that's, Whitey Herzog is a gambler, so is Belly Martin.

120
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:03,000
And Whitey Herzog decided he'd go along with the left-handers who seemed to have done so well against New York, particularly over the first third of the season.

121
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:16,000
It wasn't until after they got Johnson and then started putting Penala in there that they started turning the figures around and began to win against left-handers rather consistently.

122
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:26,000
But I'm sure that's what was in his mind. But I don't know why he hasn't pitched Coburn for now.

123
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Well, honestly, I would have pitched a split-off in Leonard in the stadium, but Leonard in game one, he's my best pitcher.

124
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:39,000
And I certainly would have pitched Coburn. Just bring up to mind a great line, get out of the 1960 series, I remember.

125
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:45,000
And you, I know, were there. It was a spring training game in 1961, the Anks and Pirates.

126
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,000
And I don't know if it was in Fort Myers or St. Petersburg.

127
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,000
But as you remember in the World Series, the Anki started Dittmore twice and he got clubbed.

128
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Pirates started Bob Fren twice. He got murdered.

129
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:03,000
And that day they both pitched in this exhibition game after the game, not too well. And Pirates said, I don't know why they keep pitching Dittmore against us.

130
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,000
He's, what are they going to learn? He said, then again, when are we going to learn not to pitch a friend against them?

131
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:14,000
I thought of that because Nettles is second guessing Herzog saying, why are they keep pitching Gura against us, you know?

132
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Well, last year they knocked Gura out in a couple of ball games in the playoffs. He hasn't had success against them.

133
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:27,000
They keep bringing up the fact he wants revenge against Martin because Martin didn't treat him right.

134
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:35,000
A ball player is a professional. He's out to make a living and this revenge bit to me, I don't go for it in particular.

135
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Sure, it could be a little something that might make the adrenaline flow a little bit better.

136
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:49,000
But a man has personal pride in performance. And whether you like a guy, whether you don't like him, you've got to play golf with him.

137
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:54,000
I remember a rizzuto played golf of win one afternoon, which is typical.

138
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Let's say the next night, Phil comes up bleeding off and wins first pitch, almost took his head off.

139
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Phil said, hey, what's the matter? Well, I can't say over there, but when you yelled at him, but anyway, wound up, we're not playing golf now.

140
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:12,000
The quick story I wanted to tell you, the fellas did color with me on the game Saturday, Miami against Kansas.

141
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Instead of paying attention, talking about, you know, before we went on the air getting things ready, you know how you do before you hit the air, especially in the football game.

142
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:37,000
He happened to be a graduate of Kansas. And right next door to us at the Orange Bowl was the staff that broadcast the University of Kansas football games out of Kansas City.

143
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:50,000
And this is a fellow has been broadcasting a few years. It was doing a color with me. He leans out. He knows all the people, you know, from Kansas City.

144
00:19:50,000 --> 00:20:01,000
He said, gee, can you beat that? That hurts. I guess because he played with the Yankees started that year just because you want to see the Yankees win.

145
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:07,000
I thought I'd fall out of the booth about the man was, you know, kidding. Honestly, this is exactly what he said.

146
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:21,000
And the answer he got, of course, the fellas sort of agreed with him at, but in the sense of second guessing, Herzog, they didn't go that far as if to say Herzog deliberately did it so the Yankees could win.

147
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:29,000
I just, I looked at him and said, you got to be kidding. He said, no, he said, what other reason could there be for him in starting the Euro?

148
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Well, I'll tell you what, if a guy really feels that he has to be put away in a home. I mean, that's, I'd say that's the height of irrational thinking.

149
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,000
I just didn't believe it was on my mind for about the whole first half.

150
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Now, let me second guess, Billy Martin. First of all, let me get back. You mentioned the thing that's written up in newspapers, but that's a newspaper thing.

151
00:20:51,000 --> 00:21:01,000
It's written to fill all, you know, we know this Mel, usually during the season, whether it's hockey, basketball or baseball, not football, since that's once a week, but the other sports.

152
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:08,000
One writer is assigned by the newspaper and he writes a story of the game. It is a game story.

153
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Now running.

154
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Right. Now, running account.

155
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:23,000
During, during big games, big series or do or in World Series or playoff, they then assign one or two other writers and one covers the other teams clubhouse.

156
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:32,000
The other writes a gossip notes and quotes thing and they have to fill up their columns. That's how these, these are the other stories, the feature stories.

157
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,000
One guy does the game story. The other guy does the feature story or two feature stories.

158
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:44,000
And that's a feature story by Gore and Martin. He played it. Well, they've all been around. Everybody's played with everyone else.

159
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:56,000
And if Gura to win the fourth game of a best of five championship series to propel his team into the playoffs needed the revenge motive, then, then he's, he's in a lot of trouble.

160
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,000
He's got big, he's got big problems. You go out to win cause you go out to win.

161
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:08,000
And by the way, if Gura was pitching for the WMCA, no star softball team was out of the mound, wouldn't he try to win? We mean he's going to go out there to look lousy.

162
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,000
No one ever goes out to embarrass himself.

163
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:20,000
I always put it this way. Take the manager or the coach of a football team or any other sport. Take him alone.

164
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:26,000
He is selfish enough just as you and I want to make a living or anyone listening in. He wants to win.

165
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Right.

166
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:38,000
He's going to throw what he thinks is the very best under the circumstances that might help him win. There are certain little refinements that do exist.

167
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Now he might not have thrown Gura against a nuthaball club that didn't have the same balance as the Yankees.

168
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:53,000
But against the Yankees, he thought that was his thing. He thought the left hander would be the type of pitcher to throw against him.

169
00:22:53,000 --> 00:23:04,000
And I think it's a good second guess and I have. Now, Billy Martin, I haven't second guessed all year long and the answer is not when you second guess a manager or a coach.

170
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:16,000
The answer isn't that they somehow don't even know this or don't want to win as much as you do. The answer lies in simply what they perceive to be the right strategy.

171
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:23,000
I think there's a question I have to ask Mel, which I will. And depending on your answer, we'll find out how good a second guess mine is.

172
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:31,000
But mine is really a first guess. If those who listen to my show avidly will remember that I raised this before the playoff series began.

173
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:38,000
By the way, Pablo Guzman is here tonight. We interrupted his program and he had a question on Mel.

174
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:46,000
They want to answer about who holds the record for home runs. Some guy called him and said my friend wasn't sure if it was the Reds or the Giants.

175
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
You mean team home run?

176
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Team home run. Giants and Reggie to 221. And in what had to be your most fun year, I would think it was your most fun year.

177
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Maybe 49 was the most fun year, but 1961 had to be maybe your most fun year, was it?

178
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,000
You mean the M&M boys?

179
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Yeah, was it? Was that the great year?

180
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Remember the play on Broadway, Dial M for Murder? It was a perfect thing for an answer to grab to use as we came with Clashay.

181
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:26,000
Dial M for Murder, Manlyne Maris. No, it wasn't the greatest fun. Of course, I don't want to get into that now because we have other things to talk about.

182
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:41,000
I think 49 had to be because the Yankees were one game behind. Well, in a sense, it's relevant because here they were one game behind Kansas City with two to play.

183
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:50,000
And that was the situation in 1949 for the penalty. Only they were at home and against the Red Sox behind two games, two to go.

184
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:57,000
They were behind 4-0-0 on Saturday, which was Joe DiMaggio's day, I remember, and a little sidebar.

185
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:05,000
His mother was here. He had lost his father. She was wearing black. Playing the Red Sox, Joe McCarthy managing the Red Sox.

186
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Dom is in the dugout. I was MCing at home plate. This was not in the script guidelines, so I got an idea and I said, well, if I get fired for this, I'll just get fired for it.

187
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:23,000
It seemed like such a natural. Here is Joe out at home plate to commit and all that. They were going to give his mother flowers.

188
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:34,000
And I just decided what a perfect setup. And I called Joe McCarthy out to home plate. I called Dom DiMaggio out to home plate.

189
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:39,000
They weren't aware of it. Now, what needed all of a sudden, you know, I would wing something, I'd live it.

190
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:48,000
I'm going to make a beautiful picture, a historic picture, actually, and it was as it turned out. Sometimes you do something's right.

191
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:56,000
They were standing there. Joe had played under McCarthy. Here was Dom DiMaggio's brother who had robbed him of many a base hit.

192
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:04,000
They'd fought one another on the field of play. And I called his mother out.

193
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:10,000
I had one of the attendants bring her out to home plate. And Joe always tells this story even to the day.

194
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:18,000
She came up to home plate accompanied by the attendant and then she pulled away from him as she approached home plate and walked right by Joe,

195
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:26,000
whose day it was, and walked over and kissed Dominic. Because she'd already seen Joe, you see, but Joe loves to tell the stories.

196
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Here it is my day. Yankee Stadium fell. She walks right by me and hugs Dom. But anyway, the game starts and the Yankees fall behind,

197
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,000
four to nothing. They battled back, tied the score at four all.

198
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Then Dell hits a homer in the eighth inning. The Yankees win at five-four. They go into Sunday and, of course, they win the ball game.

199
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Five to three. Rizzotto got a triple in the first inning. Henrik got him home with a ground ball. And that was the only run.

200
00:26:53,000 --> 00:27:02,000
Ellis Kinder pitching against Big Ration to the last of the eighth inning. The Yankees got four and the Red Sox got three in the ninth.

201
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:11,000
But it was a team that just refused to give up. And we did, you and I did talk about this.

202
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:18,000
While the Yankees are thin in pitching, we said, are they going to come back and at least go to the fifth game?

203
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:23,000
If you remember, we said, well, they're a team that does have tradition behind them.

204
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Though they, most of them, weren't part of that tradition I speak of. Yet, by being on the team, they naturally are exposed to it

205
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:39,000
and have had it drilled into them by Billy Martin and George Steinbrenner.

206
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:50,000
And I knew that they wouldn't quit and they would try as hard as they could. But here we are on the last day of the regular season

207
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,000
because the playoff is part of that. And so it's a similar situation.

208
00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:01,000
But do you remember what happened in 1948, just the year before, talking about second guessing?

209
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:11,000
When the Red Sox tied Cleveland on the last day after knocking the Yankees out of the penalty on Saturday, and they had the only playoff in the history of the American League on Monday,

210
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:17,000
and Lou Boudreau starts the left-hander at Fenway Park. Do you remember whom the Red Sox started?

211
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,000
I can't. I remember the background after all that. It started with a G.

212
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Jenny Galehouse.

213
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Jenny Galehouse. And everybody in the world jumped on Joe McCarthy.

214
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,000
By the way, in case people are wondering, my Nana told me about that.

215
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Jenny Galehouse is an old right-hander, but it worked for Connie Mack with Howard Emke going back when my nanny told me about that one.

216
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:44,000
But that was against the Cubs, I think, in 1929.

217
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:50,000
Actually, Bearden really was probably the great... You know, these stories are remembered by baseball fans.

218
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:55,000
That's why they are recited by Rote, people say to me, too.

219
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,000
And we're not talking about Kyle, Rote.

220
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,000
I'll walk out of the studio now. I'll walk out now.

221
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:05,000
How do you know that? What a memory it is in that at all. Any great baseball fan, someone who loves baseball, could recite those things.

222
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Because Bearden was a rookie and was a left-hander.

223
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,000
And with the Yankees.

224
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,000
Yes, way back.

225
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:17,000
And when Boudreau made that announcement, the Cleveland Clubhouse, the story goes that he said,

226
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:22,000
if any of you people want to argue with me, looking to his older players, because he had a lot of older players,

227
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:27,000
he was like the same age as his players, Keltoner and Gordon and such, he said,

228
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:33,000
argue with me, is anyone think is wrong to start Bearden, a left-hander in Fenway Park?

229
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:38,000
And they said, hey, you know, you got into the playoff after 154 games, we'll stick with you.

230
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
Well, Boudreau also had two home runs to help win.

231
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,000
Right, and one of them was in a very first inning.

232
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Well, it goes along with pitching.

233
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,000
You know, again, that was 49, you're talking about 48, nothing has changed.

234
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000
That's why baseball is so great.

235
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Here it is 77.

236
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:59,000
It's just the names of change, the same arguments, the same fights, the same jealousies,

237
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,000
the same problems, again, paid a lot more money, but the same complaining,

238
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,000
the same second guessing behind the manager's back, and it will always go on.

239
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,000
And by the way, you know, you talk about 49, Joe McCarthy had managed the Yankees,

240
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,000
and it got acrimonious at the very end.

241
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,000
You would return from the service and were announced, and again, I don't know if you were there then,

242
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,000
were you there when it got very bitter at the very end?

243
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,000
46.

244
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,000
Okay, and now when he came back a couple years...

245
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Larry's failing, he...

246
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,000
But when he came back a couple years later in 49, you think he wanted to beat the Yankees?

247
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Of course he did.

248
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Of course he did. So it hasn't changed anyway.

249
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:37,000
My second guess of Martin and what has to do with tonight's coming up right after this.

250
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Have you ever gone to the airport to get your package on a plane?

251
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Taxi, the airport, please.

252
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,000
I don't know what it is about this cab, but it just refuses to go to the airport at rush hour.

253
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Probably afraid of planes.

254
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Taxi!

255
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000
When you finally get there, you're almost sorry you did.

256
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Could either of you gentlemen tell me where the World International counter is?

257
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Sure, it's right over that way.

258
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
No, Charlie, it's over that way.

259
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,000
And when you get to where you're going, you have to be lucky to get your package to where it's going.

260
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Hi, I'd like to get this package on your next plane to Fargo, North Dakota, please.

261
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Why are you shaking your head?

262
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
See that plane taking off?

263
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,000
Yeah.

264
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,000
That was our next plane to Fargo, North Dakota.

265
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,000
There's an easier way. Call Emory.

266
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,000
We'll pick your package up and rush it to the airport.

267
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,000
And instead of your package waiting for a plane, chances are you'll find a plane waiting for your package.

268
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:33,000
You'll also find that Emory goes to more places both here and abroad than any other air freight company.

269
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Hello, Emory. Help!

270
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Emory, the Air Force in Air Freight.

271
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:49,000
15 minutes before 8 and we'll get back up right after this word for Carp Walsh from Mel Allen.

272
00:31:49,000 --> 00:32:01,000
By the way, friends, next time you have an appetite for anything in the eating line and flying around and about,

273
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,000
sometimes you don't always eat on schedule.

274
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:09,000
And so John and I both have been traveling and we haven't had our dinner and I'm sure you're not concerned about that.

275
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,000
I hope you enjoyed. Yours will have ours in a little while.

276
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:21,000
But next time you have an appetite for fine-selling food, go directly to Horn of Plenty at 91 Charles Street in New York and Cart Blanchett.

277
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Horn of Plenty is one of many fine restaurants in New York where your Cart Blanch card will allow you to spoil and dodge

278
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,000
and treat yourself to the kind of food nobody can make at home.

279
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,000
Oh, I know some of you say I can cook better at home than some of these restaurants.

280
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Probably certain dishes, as they say, is nothing like home cooking, but it's nice to get out once in a while,

281
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,000
especially to a very nice place like Horn of Plenty.

282
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:52,000
Dinner somewhere always tastes a little bit better when you eat out every now and then,

283
00:32:52,000 --> 00:33:01,000
especially when you have it with style with your Cart Blanch card because people know Cart Blanch denotes more than an average measure of distinction and taste.

284
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,000
With a Cart Blanch card, you can travel with style, too.

285
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:13,000
You can Cart Blanch your airline tickets, your rented car, your hotel bill, and even Cart Blanch a vacation tour through Cartan Tours.

286
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:20,000
So keep your card with you wherever you go and Cart Blanch your way through over 250,000 doors across the country,

287
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,000
including Horn of Plenty, that good old Southern cookin'.

288
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Cart Blanch it! You'll know you're going first class and so will everyone else.

289
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Now, before the playoff series began, and Martin announced that Gullit and Gidry would be his first two pitches in that automail,

290
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:44,000
we talked about it on the show, the talk show with some of the callers, and I made this point,

291
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,000
and so that's why I don't think it's really a second guess. I think this really is a first guess.

292
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:57,000
I said the only reason that you should start Gullit is that you want him to pitch two games, Game 1 and Game 5,

293
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:05,000
because the Game 1 pitcher in a 3 out of 5 series with no day off is the only pitcher who's able to come back with his normal allotment of rest,

294
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:10,000
and Gullit has had arm trouble every year he's been in the big leagues since 1970 with the Reds,

295
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:16,000
when he broken his an 18-year-old, and he's had serious arm trouble during the year.

296
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:22,000
And Gidry, I felt, was the number one pitcher, although Gullit had been down the stretch and was pitching great in September,

297
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:29,000
which probably influenced Martin more than anything else. Your best pitcher, Gullit, let him get you out to 1-0 lead, then come back with Gidry.

298
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:35,000
But I have to admit, I'll second guess, because I think Gidry was the number one pitcher during the year,

299
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:41,000
and I don't know if Gullit could have come back even with three days rest, such were the problems that he had with his arm,

300
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:49,000
and anyway, it's gotten to the point now where Gidry pitched as well as he did, and by the way, I think there's more pressure on Game 2 pitcher if you don't win Game 1.

301
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Sure there is.

302
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Now, now, if you want to talk pressure, this is the season in one game and you pitch Gidry,

303
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:05,000
and I think that's a worthwhile second guess. What I'm saying is that they should have started Gidry in the first game so they'd have him rested for Game 5.

304
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:15,000
Well, after you had said that, I thought about that for a little while. As a matter of fact, on my way home, and by the time, long before I'd gotten home,

305
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:27,000
I certainly came around to your way of thinking. Gidry had been physically sound all year, and Gullit had not, and as you just pointed out,

306
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:39,000
he's had a history of getting hurt, and we never know how deeply a fellow may be injured, the extent of his injury, or his ailment.

307
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:45,000
All of a sudden, we thought that Hunter was going to be completely out of the picture, but here he is suddenly warming up a little bit,

308
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:52,000
and then we got another report on what the trouble with him actually was. It was a different report than the original one.

309
00:35:52,000 --> 00:36:02,000
So, you know what managers and coaches do? They sometimes try to play, either play down or play up an injury to get the psychological edge on somebody else,

310
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:08,000
and even being with a ball club, you sometimes would be given sort of a wrong answer and a matter of degree.

311
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:21,000
But, didn't Gullit start for Cincinnati in 75? I believe he started a second game, didn't he? First or second game, but I could check that in a hurry.

312
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:34,000
But in any case, I agree with you. Picture sound this picture first, in case you have to keep coming back with him, and certainly when you add to the physical soundness,

313
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,000
the fact that he has become your best picture.

314
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:45,000
Okay, that's really what I'm saying. Really what I'm saying is, Herzog should have started with Leonard in game one so he could have pitched him twice,

315
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:53,000
and the same goes for Billy Martin and Ron Guidry. And by the way, here's nothing to contemplate if you will.

316
00:36:53,000 --> 00:37:05,000
You know, a lot has been made in the newspapers that New York has lost Tom Siever and Joe Namath and Julia Serving and now Walt Frazier.

317
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:10,000
But, you know, the names remain the same, but the abilities change, Mel.

318
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:25,000
And at the beginning of this year, if I had said to you, or anyone else, any baseball fan, you, Bob Fischel, Marty Appel, anyone we know, okay, Joe Reichler, anyone we know, okay,

319
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:39,000
it's six months from now, it's game five in Kansas City. Who's going to be your picture? Someone has said Hunter, Hulsman, Doc Ellis, Figueroa, Don Gullit,

320
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:50,000
and then after the deal was made, Mike Torres. And the picture is Ron Guidry. A couple years ago, Catfish signed that contract,

321
00:37:50,000 --> 00:38:05,000
and he was interviewed by everyone in the world. I mean, there wasn't anyone who didn't interview him, including Network News commentators and Network News anchorman, okay.

322
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:12,000
And he was the Catfish, and now he's another guy. And that's how people are in life. People don't recognize.

323
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:23,000
Just another guy shagging flies, pepper, playing pepper, shagging flies during batting practice, and Ron Guidry, people would have known Ron Guidry from that wall over there, and he is the...

324
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,000
Except his parents and relatives.

325
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:32,000
And he is the last game pitcher, and that's some honor. That is an unbelievable honor. One thing we said Friday, he worked.

326
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:41,000
You know, we said that there's the terrible cliché, there's no tomorrow. You've got to bring all your people in. Tidra will come in early. Lyle will come in early.

327
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:49,000
And Billy Martin did that, and Lyle came through the... I did not see the game, I won't lie about it. I was doing a football game, but he had a bit of a fag with this game.

328
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:57,000
He did. My game happened to be Saturday night, so I watched the game. He pitched one of his... It was one of his strongest efforts.

329
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:09,000
He went over five innings, I think five and two-thirds innings, and his control was excellent. And of course, his big pitch is that slider.

330
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:19,000
It's one of those situations. You can know what's coming, whether it be baseball or football or whatever. So long as you execute your play, perfectly, there's nothing much the other team can do about it.

331
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:29,000
And he was throwing his pitches where he wanted. Great location. The ball was snapping off, and when he threw his fastball, he had that extra on it.

332
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:38,000
And everything was just great, but you've seen Lyle here and there. Any great pitcher, have a day when nothing works. The ball flattens out. It doesn't move.

333
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,000
And this is the chance you take.

334
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:54,000
Sure. And a lot of people going into tonight's game who worry about the acts, I don't know who's going to win, and there isn't anyone in the world who knows who's going to win, including people like Billy Martin and Whitey Herzog.

335
00:39:54,000 --> 00:40:06,000
They hope for the best. Gidry may go out and pitch fabulously. He may not. The same is true of Splitoff. One thing, though, that I kind of laugh a little about, because there hasn't been this kind of a game in the series.

336
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:19,000
There hasn't been a 10-9 game where eight pitchers are used. A lot of people say, well, but Kansas City will have in the bullpen and ready to go. Jim Colborne, Marty Patton, Steve Mngoury, Markle-Tale, Doug Byrd.

337
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Well, they fortified their chances with all those pitches, but it won't help them because this series has proved that if your starting pitcher doesn't do it, it doesn't matter who you bring in.

338
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Yesterday was a good example. Marty Patton pitched well, but the game was already gone by the time Goury came in, and the same goes for Lyle the other night. The game was out of Torres hands by the time that Lyle came in, et cetera.

339
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:50,000
Well, we'll get some final thoughts on this when we return to our...

340
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:58,000
Just before you do that, I remember Gullet started his first game last year. Here I'm trying to think of two years ago. He started opener last year and the second game here before last.

341
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Go ahead. I just want to get it straight.

342
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:12,000
Yeah, but he's never come back. And remember in the series a couple of years ago, and they had all the rain, and Anderson kept saying, well, I don't think I'll bring him back. I don't want to hurt his career.

343
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:22,000
And what he was really saying was that he doesn't have the kind of arm that comes back that responds. And does Gidry? No one knows because he's never pitched for two days' rest before.

344
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:31,000
In fact, most times he's pitched with four days' rest, but he only has to pitch well for five innings or so. And you know that Lyle and Tidjo and Torres will come in.

345
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:46,000
So the Yankees have four pretty good pitchers tonight. And Kansas City has six, seven good pitches, but if Spodoff doesn't do the job, even a three-to-one lead could be enough for the Yankees to have and to win this game.

346
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,000
And of course, the winner goes to the World Series.

347
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:57,000
In case anybody comes out about a space, John, got it open last year for Cincinnati against New York. We'll get back with more right after this.

348
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Herman, go to sleep. It's late.

349
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,000
I can't.

350
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:14,000
It's two o'clock in the morning. Your factory in Fresno should have just received that package you sent, that package that was holding up a production line of who knows how many people costing you who knows how much money. So you can't sleep.

351
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,000
I wonder if they got it.

352
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,000
Got what, Herman? Who are you talking to at two o'clock in the morning?

353
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Nothing. Forget it.

354
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,000
And when you try to count sheep, you wind up counting dollars and cents instead.

355
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Maybe I should call them.

356
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Maybe you should call them, Herman, but call them in the other room.

357
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:49,000
So you decide to call your air freight company just for a little assurance. But nobody's home. Maybe you've got the wrong number or maybe what's worse, you've got the wrong air freight company because at Emory air freight, no matter what hour of the day or night you call us, we'll not only answer the phone, we'll answer your questions.

358
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:58,000
So the next time you want an air freight company that's in when you call, call us in the first place. Emory, the Air Force in Air Freight.

359
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:08,000
This is Dave Kingman. It's a great feeling to be a winner. That's why when I need a car to depend on, there's only one place to go for it. Jim Smith Chevrolet in Spring Valley.

360
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:21,000
At Jim Smith Chevrolet, they treat everyone like a winner every time. And you'll feel like a winner when you see the complete selection of fabulous new 78 Chevy's and use cars and trucks, including hard to get models you thought no one carried.

361
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:31,000
If you're like me, your time is valuable. With 52 service bays and 18 factory trained mechanics at your disposal, you'll get immediate attention and service for your car.

362
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:43,000
They even have their own paint and body shop and over $175,000 worth of parts and stock. If you live anywhere within an hour or so of South Route 45 in Spring Valley, Jim Smith Chevrolet should be your dealer.

363
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:53,000
You'll hop in and tell them Dave Kingman sent you. You'll get the finest care and attention. And if you're a licensed driver, you'll even get an autographed baseball, one per family while they last.

364
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:58,000
You're really a winner with Jim Smith Chevrolet.

365
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:12,000
The next time you have an appetite for fine Italian food, go directly to Valarie at 147 West 4th Street in New York and cart Blanche it. Valarie is one of the many fine restaurants in New York where your car Blanche card will allow you to spoil, indulge and treat yourself to the kind of food that nobody can make at home.

366
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:21,000
Dinner always tastes a little bit better when you have it with style with your car Blanche card because people know that car Blanche denotes more than an average measure of distinction and taste.

367
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:29,000
With a car Blanche card, you can travel with style too. You can cart Blanche your airline tickets and cart Blanche your rented car. Car Blanche your hotel bill.

368
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:41,000
Even cart Blanche your vacation tour through cartin tours. Keep your card with you wherever you go and cart Blanche your way through over 250,000 doors across the country including Valarie.

369
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Car Blanche, you'll know you're going first class and so will everyone else. Well Mel Allen, will they be champions when we get back on the air or will there be more bitter problems in a very, very unpleasant finish to a weird season?

370
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:06,000
I just hope that the guys get out there and play baseball. Don't fight and they both have covered themselves with enough glory.

371
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:14,000
We'll see you right after the game when we find out whether the Yanks are going on to the World Series or to a divorce court and we'll see you then.

372
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:23,000
The Mel Allen John Sterling pregame show is brought to you by Cart Blanche. Since no credit card is accepted everywhere, you should have Cart Blanche.

373
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:31,000
The credit card, you need no matter what other credit card you have and by Emery, the Air Force and Air Freight.

374
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:40,000
Start thinking straight, start thinking white castle straight, white castle burgers are so straight we even made them square.

375
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:46,000
A different burger with a different taste, day and night, everywhere.

376
00:45:46,000 --> 00:46:04,000
The Yanks 3 game show is brought to you by ClaySarc Quality TV, the best way to watch the World Series and by Spotten Beer, importers of Spotten Oktoberfest beer and by New York New Jersey Pawdiak dealers.

377
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:17,000
Here's one in your area.

378
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:25,000
Good evening everybody, this is Frank Messer on the New York Yankee Pregame Show just before the final game of the 1977 American League Championship Series.

379
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:35,000

380
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:46,000

My guest tonight on the New York Yankee pregame show is a man who has appeared now in six championship series, four World Series Yankee outfielder Paul Blair and Paul before we go any further I make note of the fact that you are starting tonight out in right field.

388
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:19,000
Yes, I am Frank. It's a surprise to me and you know I just hope I can do the job tonight and help us win a ball game.

389
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:27,000
Paul Blair, let's talk about the first four games of this series. They've all donated Kansas City one and the Yankees then Kansas City then the Yankees.

390
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:35,000
So, so far in the two years of playoffs between the Yankees and Kansas City Royals no team has won two games in a row.

391
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:44,000
Well, that's you know something I've never even paid any attention to but so far this series it seems to me like we have won the games that we had to win.

392
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:54,000
That second game in New York we had to win yesterday and you know I like to think to hear again we have to win and I think we're going to go out and do the job because everybody knows what's at stake.

393
00:48:54,000 --> 00:49:02,000
You know there's no more tomorrow so I think everybody's ready and I hope we can put together a real consistent ball game today and win this thing and go into the World Series.

394
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:11,000
Paul Blair, what about the first four games? Any pivotal plays in the games, the Yankees have won? Anything that's any one or two things that have happened to sort of turn this club around?

395
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:23,000
Well, I would like to think that the incident with Hal McCrae and Willie Randolph kind of lit a fire in us and I noticed after he did that to Willie the team got a little more inspiration.

396
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:37,000
They got a little bitter about you know the chief shot that he did take. You know I don't mind good hard aggressive plan but that was a chief shot because you know he threw a body block at Willie and you know you can slide hard without trying to hurt somebody as you know McCrae did.

397
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:44,000
But I think that lit a fire in us and you know now we're back here and we want to win just to show them that we are a better ball club.

398
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:52,000
My guest on the Yankee Pre Game Show tonight is outfielder Paul Blair starting tonight in right field in place of Reggie Jackson and I'll be back with Paul in just two minutes.

399
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:59,000
Say you important beer drinkers, if you've tried spot and beer and liked it we've still got another great taste experience for you.

400
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:05,000
Every year during the last week of September the Lord Mayor of Munich, Germany walks over to a certain keg of beer in Tampson.

401
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:10,000
When he drinks the first glass that's the signal Munich's famous Oktoberfest has begun.

402
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:14,000
You know what that first keg of beer Tampson is? Spot and Oktoberfest beer. That's right.

403
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:21,000
It's specially brewed in March. Soak and age properly and be ready for the wonderful fall festival held in the city so famous for beer.

404
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:25,000
Spot and Oktoberfest. What a celebration and great beer taste.

405
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:32,000
Spot and the original Oktoberfest beer is between light and dark in color with a delightful aroma of malt and hops.

406
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:36,000
This crisp brown brew has a taste so right for the autumn season.

407
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:40,000
Spot and quality you can trust in 1397.

408
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,000
Spot and probably the world's most expensive beer to brew.

409
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:50,000
Spot and Oktoberfest. Imported for your pleasure every fall by SEAB Distributors Brooklyn, New York.

410
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:58,000
It's that time of year again. Time to see and compare all the new 78 cars and Pontiac is ready with the finest lineup in their history.

411
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:08,000
No wonder they're calling 78 their best year yet. Your Pontiac dealer has a real winner in every size from the sporty subcompact sunbird all the way up to the super luxurious Bonneville.

412
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:16,000
The biggest news is the new mid-sized Pontiacs, Grand Prix and Le Mans. Both these long time superstars have been completely redesigned for today's driving.

413
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:21,000
They're trimmer than last year but there's more headroom, legroom and usable trunk space.

414
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:26,000
And for sheer looks inside and out, Grand Prix and Le Mans live up to their legendary reputations.

415
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:34,000
So stop in at your Pontiac dealer and let him show you the newest looks on the road. It's his best year yet and he wants to deal.

416
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:39,000
Remember if you haven't talked to your Pontiac dealer, you haven't shopped for a car.

417
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:45,000
Bob Blair would seem to me that the Yankee right hand hitters have been carrying the ball club in the games.

418
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:55,000
They have won Thurman Munson with some key RBIs and from the lower part of the batting order, Bucky Nett and Willie Randolph not to leave out Cliff Johnson and Lupinella.

419
00:51:55,000 --> 00:52:03,000
Well this is the thing, because they've thrown and this will be the fourth left hand in this whole series and if the right hand hitters didn't come through we would have been in a lot of trouble.

420
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:08,000
Because it is a little tougher for a left hand to hit a right hand pitcher even though Chris and Nettles they did it all year.

421
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:13,000
But you know in a situation like this I'm sure that they're trying, this is hard, maybe as hard as anybody else.

422
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Even Nettles have came through with a couple of key base hits to help us win ball games.

423
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:25,000
But right now if the right hand didn't come through we were going to be in a lot of trouble but we still need those left handed bats. We need that power.

424
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:32,000
And right now if Mickey, you know when he gets thrown I think the club really goes and both games we won.

425
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:40,000
He's been a pivotal part and as long as he does his job and the rest of us can chip in a little bit here and there I think we can beat this ball club.

426
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:46,000
Alright Paul Blair what about the pitching tonight? Paul split off a left hander making his second start of the series against the Yankees.

427
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:50,000
He won the first game and he's sort of been a jinx pitcher against the Yankees.

428
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:58,000
Well that's been true too but here again I think we might can overcome this today because we're going to put a couple more right handers in there.

429
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:04,000
So far in my career I've hit a split off pretty well. I'm not saying that I'll hit him tonight but I will be swinging at him.

430
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:08,000
I just hope to think if we don't make mistakes I think we can beat this ball club.

431
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:15,000
If we can play good sound defense I think we'll beat him easy because so far the two games that they won we made little mental mistakes

432
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:21,000
and a couple errors that threw us right out of the ball game and if we don't do that I think we'll beat him.

433
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:28,000
Alright let's look at the Yankee pitcher Ron Gittery's coming back up to two days rest pitching an excellent ball game to win game number two of this series.

434
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:32,000
Well I think Gittery even though it's just two days rest he's going to be pumped up.

435
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:38,000
You know it's time for him. You know you hate to say he's going out for personal glory but I don't think this is the thing.

436
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:46,000
I think that he knows the job he has to do and he's got so much confidence in himself and I think this year has really proven and made Ron Gittery

437
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:54,000
an established pitcher on this ball club and he feels that he can win and he's confident he can win and I think he's going to do the job regardless of the two days rest.

438
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:59,000
I think that emotions may run a little bit higher with a youngster like Gittery out there on the mound.

439
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:04,000
He's 27 years old but you almost think of him as a rookie. He is not but this is the first big year he's had.

440
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:07,000
How much will emotions play in the ball game tonight?

441
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:12,000
Well if it doesn't get carried too far I think emotions are going to be a big factor in this.

442
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:17,000
Whoever is going to want it the most and I think right now this ball club really wants it the most.

443
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:23,000
I'm sure Gittery wants it because it will really establish himself as a clutch pitcher and this is what everybody wants to feel.

444
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:31,000
They can do the job in the clutch and Gittery is going to be out there and I'm sure he's going to be pumped up and I'm sure everybody else on the ball club is going to be pumped up.

445
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:39,000
I do believe we're going to give them a good game. I certainly hope we run them out of the ball park and don't give them any kind of shot but it will probably be a tight game but I think we're going to win it.

446
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:44,000
And if everybody on the ball club feels the way Paul Blair does I'm sure the Yankees will win it.

447
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:50,000
For appearing as a guest on our pregame show Paul you'll receive Son of a Gun, Clare Aul's new 1200 watt prototype lightweight hair dryer.

448
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:56,000
Fast, powerful, your hair will look terrific. Son of a Gun by Clare Aul. Paul Blair best of luck tonight.

449
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:57,000
Thanks for that Frank.

450
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:01,000
I'm Frank Musser and I'll stay tuned for New York Yankee baseball.

451
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:08,000
The New York Yankee pregame show is brought to you by ClaySar Quality TV.

453
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:34,000
Here's one of your area.

454
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:45,000
There is a law on the books in Nassau County. It requires perishable items on supermarket shelves be clearly marked with an expiration date beyond which that item cannot be sold.

455
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:49,000
It is the law and violators are subject to stiff fines.

456
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:54,000
The man who made that law a reality is Hempstead Town Supervisor Al D'Amato.

457
00:55:54,000 --> 00:56:03,000
The computer price code in supermarkets was confusing and misleading so D'Amato sponsored legislation which requires a legible price on each item.

458
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:08,000
Consumers have a right to know what the price is. That's why Supervisor D'Amato wrote that law.

459
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:16,000
D'Amato along with Councilman Gene Weisbren, Jim Bennett and Marty Bernstein are working together for consumers and the residents of Hempstead Town.

460
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:23,000
Both to make Al D'Amato presiding supervisor. Then both the entire D'Amato Bennett team on election day.

461
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:31,000
You'll find them on row B working hard for the consumer. Just one reason why you should vote to make Al D'Amato presiding supervisor.

462
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,000

00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:11,000
Tonight the final game of the 1977 American League Championship Series.

474
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:18,000
The New York Yankee is facing the Kansas City Royals with the series all evened up two to two.

475
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:24,000
Good evening everybody. This is Frank Messer along with Phil Rosito and Bill White at Royal Stadium in Kansas City.

476
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:35,000
As we look down on this beautiful playing field Yankee manager Billy Martin and Royals manager Whitey Herzog are at home plate with the umpires exchanging lineup cards.

477
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:43,000
Ron Goodry will be on the mound tonight for the New York Yankees and Latander Paul Splitoff will be on the mound for the Kansas City Royals.

478
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:49,000
Both managers have made drastic changes in their lineups for tonight's deciding ball game.

479
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:55,000
And I'll be back with the lineups and all the play by play from Kansas City in just two minutes.

480

If all you need is money to pay off your monthly bills come on into HFC. With an HFC bill payer loan you can consolidate your bills and maybe make one payment every month that could be less than the total you're paying now.

481

Come on in, come on in, come on in to HFC.

482
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:31,000
HFC an equal opportunity lender.

483
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:38,000
So come on in, come on in, come on in to HFC.

486
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:19,000
Sure, that's the Bill White system. Everybody knows I'm crazy about Butterfingers. All those crispy layers of peanut butter, crunchy candy, chocolatey coating.

487
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:32,000
Well there's one thing you can do. Give me some. That's the Bill Rizzuto system.

The Bill's helps you do it better because they have it all.

490
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:19,000
The New York Yankee batting order, Nicky Rivers will lead off and play center field, Willie Randolph will be at second base in bat second, seven months in catches and hits third, Lou Panella will be the clean up header and play left field, Cliff Johnson the designated header will bat fifth,

491
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:38,000
Greg Metals will be at third base in bat sixth, Chris Chambliss at first base batting seventh, in right field and batting eighth, Paul Blair and at shot stop batting ninth, Bucky Dent, pitching for the Yankees, Ron Guidry, one and oh in the championship series, 16 and seven on the regular season.

494
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:34,000
The surprises of course, Paul Blair in right field in place of Reggie Jackson who will not start tonight's ball game. And for the Royals the big surprise, the designated hitter, the veteran Cookie Rojas who may be playing his last game as a baseball player.

495
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:48,000
Mickey Rivers is set to lead off against Paul Splitar. Splitar on the year one sixteen and lost six, Dar left hand, rid of a wind up and here we go, the first pitch of the ball game is bounced foul past third base coach Dick Hauser.

496
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:55,000
No balls and a strike on Mickey Rivers as he tried to slap the ball past the third baseman, George Brett and slapped it foul.

497
01:02:55,000 --> 01:03:06,000
Pontiac and White at shot and second play him straight up the middle, the outfield is spread out shadow and left, the wind to kick the pitch he bumps out at misses, the drippers strike two.

498
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:12,000
Mickey Drive the running bump did not make contact, no balls and two strikes.

499
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:22,000
The left field of the Royals is Hal McCray, the center fielder Amosotus and the right fielder Al Collins. John Wathen replacing John Mayberry as the first baseman.

500
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:30,000
Darrell Porter gives Split off the side, the left hand a rocks over the slab, kicks and deals, Rivers takes high and tight, one ball two strikes.

501
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:36,000
Rivers in the playoffs has seven hits at eighteen at bats, one run batted in.

502
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:44,000
Left hand hitter moves up toward the front part of the batter's box, the wind up by Split off the one two pitch, he swings and misses.

503
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:55,000
What a blue run by him and there's one away. And now Woody Randolph, the Yankee second baseman.

504
01:03:55,000 --> 01:04:05,000
Randolph a right hand hitter, four for fifteen in the series with one run batted in.

505
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:11,000
Woody straight away in the batter's box and Split off's first pitch to him, breaking ball misses.

506
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:20,000
Again Pottack and White are straight up the middle, the outfield is spread with the left fielder McCray, shaded a couple of steps more towards center than he was for Mickey Rivers.

507
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:27,000
Brett is backed off at third, the pitch coming, taken for a strike over the inside corner one and one.

508
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:34,000
Thurman Munson is the on deck hitter and this is it, this game winds up the regular season of 1977.

509
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:46,000
From here it's either next year or the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. One one delivery, foul back and out of play on the right side into the crowd and talk about a crowd.

510
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:56,000
This appears to be the largest crowd of the three games out here in Kansas City. Not a vacant seat anywhere in this ballpark.

511
01:04:56,000 --> 01:05:04,000
It's been a beautiful day in KC, the night is no different, one two pitch, breaking ball a bit low, Porter thought that might have been a strike.

512
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:19,000
Two balls and two strikes on Woody Randolph. Split off rocks back, two two delivery, bouncing ball towards short, Pottack has it, the throw to first base in time.

513
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:34,000
Randolph is out two down. Now Yankee catcher and captain Thurman Munson. Munson has had a good playoff series, five hits in 16 drips and four runs butted in.

514
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:45,000
One of Munson's five hits, a two run homer. Accounting for the Yankees only runs in the opening game of the championship series.

515
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:53,000
Well the pattern held last year and so far this year, neither of these teams has ever won two games in a row in the championship series.

516
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:58,000
The Yankees will have to break that pattern tonight if they want to win the penalty.

517
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:07,000
Thurman Munson on the season batted three oh eight, drove in a hundred runs. The pitch swung on and fouled over toward the Yankee dugout off the hand of Billy Martin on the top steps.

518
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:15,000
He knocks it down, picks it up, crosses it over the dugout roof to a youngster. No balls and a strike on Thurman Munson.

519
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:26,000
Lou Penella is on deck. The umpires tonight, Nick Bremigan calling balls and strikes. Bill Deegan at first base, Jerry Newdecker at second, Marty Springstead at third.

520
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:40,000
The oh and one pitch to Munson. Get on the ground to deep short. Pottec back ends at long draw to first base and he's out at first base. An excellent play by Pottec. A good strong throw by the five foot four inch shot stop.

521
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:45,000
And the Yankees are required in order. At the end of one half inning, the Yankees nothing under Royals are coming to back.

522
01:06:45,000 --> 01:07:02,000
Using a time you knew you who you who chocolate drink yourself a favor and try the super flavor of America's David and chocolate drink. It's got real goodness, protein goodness and refreshing taste.

523
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:17,000
It's the chocolate charge up that's non carbonated doesn't even have to be refrigerated. So isn't it time to do you who you chocolate drink. It's so delicious. You who chocolate drink.

524
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:33,000
When a chocolate soft drink is number one in the USA, it's got to have something going for you who does great taste rich and creamy really refreshing and you who chocolate drink contains high quality protein made from 99% fat free milk.

525
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:47,000
Isn't it time you knew you who America's favorite chocolate drink. It's Yogi Beres favorite to you who chocolate drink the action drink for action people you who is another fine product of Iroquois brand.

526
01:07:47,000 --> 01:08:04,000
Ripple helps you do it better do it better with the Ripple. Ripple has it all all the wall coverings hardware plumbing and paint all the linens and carpeting all the power tools building materials and accessories you need to do it yourself.

527
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:11,000
All the energy savers to lower your home fuel bills come in to Ripple for quality value and selection they have it all.

528
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:17,000
Ripple helps you do it better do it better with the Ripple.

529
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:27,000
Now we go to the bottom half of the first inning and the question how well will Ron Goodry pitch in this ballgame.

530
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:41,000
Today is rest from his last start. Ronnie is making his second start of the ALCS. He started the second game in New York and beat Andy Hasler 62. Goodry won nine innings in the ballgame gave up only three hits.

531
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:53,000
A double the pot back singles to George Brett and Frank White. He walked three men and he struck out seven over the course of the season. Goodry won 16 and lost seven with an end run average of 2.82.

532
01:08:53,000 --> 01:09:04,000
Fred Patek leads off the Royals leading hitter in championship play and he hits the first pitch on the ground as short bucking net is up with it goes down to first base and Patek is out one away.

533
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:15,000
And that is what Goodry needs in this ballgame. A lot of first ball hitting by the Royals to save the arm. Get as much out of it as possible.

534
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:28,000
How McCrae the batter the left fielder for the Royals. The right hand hitter as was project McCrae is five for 14 with two runs batted in in the series.

535
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:44,000
Goodry Wines slender youngster deals a strike letter high McCrae spins around it looks at playing umpire Nick Brumigan patrolling left field on the foul lines Russ gets and Jim McKean is the umpire out in right field.

536
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:57,000
Goodry pops high kicks and deals in the dirt dug up by Munson one and one Yankees have Lou Penella in left field Mickey Rivers and center Paul Blair replacing Reggie Jackson in right.

537
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:13,000
The story on that when we get a chance now the one one pitch with one out it is low ball to on the infield Greg nettles who played must have yesterday's ball game with a spell of dizziness after a collision at second base in the first inning.

538
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:27,000
To one deal foul back got him in on the hands a good pitch from Goodry to and to lucky dad as it shuts off Willie Randolph is at second and Chris Chambliss at first German Munson catching.

539
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:37,000
Two balls two strikes on right hand hitting McCrae George Brett is on deck. Goodry has the sign the wind up for the two to pitch at its foul back on the screen.

540
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:49,000
Paul Blair in right field in place of Reggie Jackson for two reasons tonight. One the Kansas City Royals pitcher Paul Split off Reggie Jackson two for 15 against Paul Split off.

541
01:10:49,000 --> 01:11:02,000
The other reason defense Reggie having trouble defensively on the artificial surface to two pitch high. It is three and two on Hal McRae.

542
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:14,000
That and Randolph playing up the middle metals is back down very deep at third base the outfield with rivers shaded toward right three to delivery powled out of play on the right side headed toward the upper deck.

543
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:32,000
McCrae can hit it always he can pull the ball down the left field line he can punch the ball down the right field line with power. He had two ninety eight over the regular season twenty one homers ninety two runs better than fifty four to base it.

544
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:46,000
Goodry kicks and offers McCrae fouls another one back in the crowd on the right side. We mentioned a beautiful day here in Kansas City bright sunshine not a cloud in the sky as the game started tonight the temperature was 60 degrees.

545
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:56,000
The wind is out of the south at twelve miles per hour slanting toward the left field corner. It could be strong enough to be a factor in the ball game three and two pitch again to McCrae.

546
01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:07,000
Here it is at another foul out of play on the right side. All is back in the upper deck.

547
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:22,000
Ron Goodry finished off the regular season winning eight of his last nine games. He lost his final start. The pitch line and played on a hop by Bucky that drove the first base is not in time.

548
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:33,000
Now McCrae beats out an infield hit digging hard down the line. Now the Royals have their most aggressive base runner on at first base.

549
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:53,000
McCrae involved in two incidents at second base one in which he knocked the ball out of the hands of shot stop Bucky that the other in which he put a rolling block on second baseman Willie Randolph both players protested by the Yankees to no avail McCrae is aboard Brett the batter the third

550
01:12:53,000 --> 01:13:07,000
baseman is five for seven in the series with a run batted in red hit three twelve twenty two homers eighty eight ribbies over the season left hand hitter deep in the batter's box feet fairly close together.

551
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:15,000
Rivers is shortened up in straightaway center the pitch swung on and fouled off months and shin guards.

552
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:25,000
Lou Pinella kicking around something out there in the artificial turf and left Lou pretty much straightaway and so is right fielder Paul Blair.

553
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:50,000
Brett looks down a third base coach. Chuckler for a sign Steve Borel's coaches down at first base for the Royals. Chambliss holding McCrae on the look over there by Gidry and the old one pitch fast ball is low and the counters one and one to George Brett one ball one strike one out.

554
01:13:50,000 --> 01:14:00,000
Gidry comes back the pitch bouncing ball.

555
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:22,000
The foul ball foul ball just foul signal given immediately by Bill Deegan the first base umpire no argument from coach Steve Borel George Brett little discredited very very close. Chambliss could not get to it. The ball was just foul by inches.

556
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:35,000
Brett will come back and pick up a one ball two strike not the undecadre Al Collins.

557
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:45,000
The Royals won the first game of the series seven to two the Yankees came back to win the second six to two the Royals won the third game six to two and the Yankees won yesterday six to four.

558
01:14:45,000 --> 01:15:04,000
So now we're down to the fifth and final game and everything rests on the outcome of this one the pitch to Brett. Just this must have been low months and held it there for a second look by played on by our Brennan and its two balls and two strikes.

559
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:17,000
The ball is passed to the ball and he walks off a short lead at first now stretches it out a bit both people in the dirt part of the sliding bit at first to to the Brett lined up to a right center field.

560
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:24,000
Mickey Rivers is after it can he get it and he cannot the ball is passed him all the way to the wall and one will score. The play is around 30 he's coming home.

561
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:35,000
He's on his way to third Randolph's relay he's safe at third base George Brett and Greg Nettles got a fight at third Ron Getery is it on the fight. So is Chuck Hiller both benches empty.

562
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:45,000
Everybody is on the field. Brett and Nettles Brett went in hard to nettles both bullpen crews are charging in the benches have emptied on May Lee down around third base.

563
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:55,000
Now it has to all intents and purposes been broken up. And now the peacemaker Cliff Johnson the last man to go out from the Yankee bench.

564
01:15:55,000 --> 01:16:06,000
He is the man that could go out there and break it up single handedly cooler heads prevail and they get Ron Getery away from the gray Darrell Porter is being led away.

565
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:19,000
Ron Getery had jumped right in and you don't want to see that happen. Your pitcher your number one pitcher must not be injured in something like this.

566
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:22,000
The umpires are restoring order.

567
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:46,000
Ron has scored Brett was safe at third base and what after Nettles he went in hard. He hit metals the punches started flying. And now cooler heads have prevailed Billy Martin in conference with one of the umpires.

568
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:59,000
And now the players are being separated.

569
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:04,000
Still a big huddle with the managers. Whitey hers off.

570
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:08,000
The umpires all six umpires.

571
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:12,000
Restoring order.

572
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:17,000
And now the bullpen crews are back in the air.

573
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:33,000
And we have had the first battle in American League championship play.

574
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:43,000
The Yankee bench man walk back toward the Yankee dugout.

575
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:48,000
Brett will be stationed at third.

576
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:54,000
Lou Penella the Yankee left fielder now complaining about something to one of the umpires.

577
01:17:54,000 --> 01:18:04,000
Penella is told to get back into left field a free base hit for George Bratt a run driven in the Royals lead one to nothing.

578
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:11,000
Brett drilled the ball to right center field. Mickey Rivers going to his left made a bid for the ball went over his head into the wall.

579
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:22,000
Order has been restored. We'll pause right now for station identification on the New York Yankee home of champions radio network WMCA Strauss communications in New York.

580
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:27,000
This is Mel Allen. If you think a Reggie Jackson home run travels far.

581
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:31,000
Emery travels over 250,000 miles a day.

582
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:40,000
Emery the Air Force and Air freight.

583
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:56,000
Good read taking a few warm up throws now as Al Collins will step in bread at third only one out and one runners home for Kansas City. The Royals are leading by a score of one to nothing.

584
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:11,000
George Brad went in hard to nettles.

585
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:23,000
Right hand running right fielding. Collins is three for 15 with three runs better than in the series. The Yankees will pull the infield in and Collins wants the baseball exam and before he steps into the batter's box.

586
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:26,000
Prennigin takes a look at it gives it back to Munson.

587
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:28,000
Munson sends it back to Goodread.

588
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:38,000
The outfield spreads out on Collins. Penella deep and left. The infield is in tight. Nettles is the deep man on the infield.

589
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:46,000
Goodread will work from the stretch and set position. The left handers pitch breaking ball for a strike.

590
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:50,000
No balls in the strike on Al Collins.

591
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:59,000
Amos Otis is on deck.

592
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:21,000
Collins over the course of the season hit 3 12. 23 runs better than or 23 homers. 112 RBS. He swings and he misses for strike two. No balls and two strikes.

593
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:26,000
Goodread bends for the sign. Collins has stepped out. Time is being no point.

594
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:34,000
Chuck Miller the third base coach has simply decided George breath the running and the own two picks bouncing ball to Nettles.

595
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:41,000
The run will score. Nettles filled a first in time. Collins is out. Brett scores and the Royals lead to nothing.

596
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:49,000
Five shuffle off the carpet. No chance for Nettles to make the play at the plate. The only play had was first base and it was close over there.

597
01:20:49,000 --> 01:21:02,000
So on RBI for Collins his fourth of the series. There are two outs. Nobody on the batter Amos Otis.

598
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:07,000
Otis the center fielder right hand.

599
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:15,000
He is one for 13 in the series that one base hit a two run pinch hit.

600
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:24,000
The average 15 home runs 71 runs but it in and 29 stolen bases in eight seasons as a Royale.

601
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:34,000
At an off year this season for average batting 251 he did hit 17 home runs and drove in 78 runs.

602
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:42,000
Back off the outfield is bunched the pitch he wants foul off the third base side.

603
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:50,000
Mala plays the alley in left center ball Blair in right center giving both foul lines to Amos Otis.

604
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:55,000
Lucky Dan shades him over in the hole at shortstop while he ran off a couple of steps toward second base.

605
01:21:55,000 --> 01:22:02,000
Nettles is deep but not guarding the line. Jambles backed off and wide at first.

606
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:08,000
Now Nettles takes a step toward the foul line as Goodry waits for Otis to step in.

607
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:13,000
He's better John Waffin.

608
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:18,000
There's the line by Goodry the 0 1 pitch. He bunch again this time down the third base line.

609
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:27,000
Goodry up with the throws to first base hit.

610
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:36,000
Amos Otis but it foul then but it fair this time. He got the ball in the dirt in front of home plate to take the back spin off of it.

611
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:43,000
The third base line. Goodry fielded the ball cleanly through the first base but not in time.

612
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:50,000
Base hit number three and the batter will be John Waffin who has replaced John Mayberry at first base.

613
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:56,000
We learned after the ball game yesterday that John Mayberry was playing despite a spell of dizziness.

614
01:22:56,000 --> 01:23:01,000
We're told brought on by a pain reducing medicine.

615
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:06,000
The pitch to Waffin is high. Ball one. Waffin a right hand hitter. Oh for four in the series.

616
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:12,000
Over the season he batted three twenty eight. Two home runs. Twenty one runs batted in.

617
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:20,000
Jambles holding on the base runner Amos Otis. Throw over there. No play.

618
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:24,000
The Royals lead to nothing. You're in the bottom half of the first.

619
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:29,000
Outfield is spread out for the right hand hitting Waffin. The infield up the middle.

620
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:37,000
Goodry throws the first base a lob shot.

621
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:42,000
Goodry over the season in two hundred eleven innings struck out a hundred seventy six men.

622
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:53,000
Throwes again to first no play. He walked but sixty five.

623
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:57,000
Otis again takes his lead. Right foot on the carpet left foot on the dirt.

624
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:10,000
He bluffs going the pitches fouled out of play on the right side. One ball and one strike.

625
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:18,000
Two outs. Otis at first a ball and a strike on right hand hitting John Waffin.

626
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:28,000
And the pitch swing and a miss on a fastball strike two.

627
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:36,000
One ball two strikes. Goodry takes the sign with the gloves hand on the right knee.

628
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:41,000
Now straightens up drops the hands Otis goes the pitches swung on and missed strike three.

629
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:47,000
The side is retired but the Royals pick up two runs on three hits. They leave a man at the end of one.

630
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:51,000
Goody throw the Aggies nothing.

635
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:27,000
Hello there everybody. This is Mel Allen. You know I've spent a lot of years broadcasting baseball games.

636
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:37,000
But man what I wouldn't have given the broadcast a fight a championship fight with heavy weights like Lewis Alley or middleweight like grassy and on sugar rate.

637
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:53,000
Well I finally got my chance to broadcast the champion the lightweight beer champion new Reingold extra life friends you're going to hear a lot more about this premium beer because extra life got it all together.

638
01:25:53,000 --> 01:26:03,000
Less filling round after round only eighty seven calories of canned but the full body taste still goes the distance.

639
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:17,000
I mean this is the one that will set you beer fans cheering less filling round after round the new title holder the lightweight bear champion Reingold extra life.

640
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:24,000
Go get him champ. Reingold Burry New York.

641
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:31,000
We move to the second inning. The Yankees are down by two loop and I will lead off to be followed by Cliff Johnson and Greg Nuttles.

642
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:51,000
Ponella is five for sixteen with two runs better than in the series during the season he had three thirty twelve homers forty five RBI's right hand hitter and the first pitch to him from split off is inside ball one Bobby Cox the first base coach for the Yankees

643
01:26:51,000 --> 01:27:03,000
and the second pitch by the encouragement down to Ponella Dick House are coaching it's there split off one the left hander kicks and deals and gets a strike.

644
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:26,000
That field spreads out for Ponella the infield plays him to Paul and Ponella wants the baseball exam and McRamegan looks at it leaves it in play one ball and one strike and the pitch to Ponella

645
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:41,000
is going to the left center field that'll be in for the base that is going quickly to cut it off. Ponella is on his way to second throw the second base and he is safe at second base it as Ponella hustles it on down to second base

646
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:56,000
and he's made a good play cutting the ball off in the gap in left center field but he's thrilled his second was not in time and Ponella is in with a double Yankees first hit of the ball game Ponella's sixth hit of the series

647
01:27:56,000 --> 01:28:18,000
and he's got a good one. Cliff Johnson the Yankees designated hitter Johnson five for 13 with two runs but it in Cliff Johnson went one for three against split off in the opening game of the series.

648
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:36,000
And now it's time to get out request time. Now we're ready. Ponella leads at second base they play Johnson the pole and the pitch is low in ball one.

649
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:52,000
He's got him behind the bag at third base pot that deep and well over in the hole at shot stop center field or other shades just a bit to it left a gap in right center field for Cliff Johnson split off one and no pitch to him.

650
01:28:52,000 --> 01:29:07,000
And now it is called breaking ball on the inside part of the plate one ball and one strike Johnson batted 296 during the season for the Yankees with 12 homers 31 runs batted in.

651
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:23,000
And now it's time for the Yankees with 12 home runs for the Houston Astros before the Yankees obtained him on June 15 split off drops the hands below the belt the kick the pitch swing.

652
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:38,000
And now it's time for the breaking ball one ball and two strikes on Cliff Johnson.

653
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:53,000
Ponella turns around to check the outfield keeps his eye on Frank White who's trying to shorten up his lead at second base nothing pot take and do his way over in the hole one to pitch to Johnson.

654
01:29:53,000 --> 01:30:07,000
Coming forward Collins the right fielder he calls and makes the catch. Ponella makes him throw and ducks back to second base Johnson is out on a fly ball to the right fielder Collins one away and the batter is great.

655
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:25,000
And now it's time for the Red Bulls three for 16 with one run batted in on the series he led the Yankees and home runs during the regular season with thirty seven he drove in 100 and seven runs

656
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:36,000
The Yankee left hand hitters with the exception of Rivers have not had a good championship series.

657
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:46,000
Spladoff's pitch, slain and missed that one.

658
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:57,000
Rivers has had seven hits. Nettles has had three. Chris Chandlers has had the one. Reggie Jackson not playing tonight has had the one.

659
01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:11,000
The 0-1 delivery. Bouncing ball is hit towards second. Frank White is up with it. Makes his throw to Waffin at first in time, but on a move to third there were two out.

660
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:22,000
And now for Chris Chandlers. At the end of the season, Chandlers was not swinging well and it's held over through the championship series so far.

661
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:32,000
But he's the man who was the hero last year winning the deciding game, game number five with that dramatic ninth inning lead off home run.

662
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:41,000
The Royals have to be thinking about that. They swing him well around on the right side defensively with a shortstop pot-tack almost behind second.

663
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:55,000
Panela leads from third, the pitch to Chris low and outside a fast ball. One ball and no strikes.

664
01:31:55,000 --> 01:32:05,000
Panela really joined with the third base umpire. The pitch is cut on in this. One ball, one strike.

665
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:13,000
Panela having words that appears with Marty Springstead. Umpiring at third.

666
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:28,000
The pitch is cut by Split off the pitch. Sliced foul into the crowd down on the left field side. One ball, two strikes on Chris Chandlers.

667
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:34,000
Panela walks off his lead in foul territory. The Royals are leading 2-0 here in the top half of the second.

668
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:43,000
One, two, delivery. Bouncing ball through the shortstop pot-tack from near second base. He throws on the retired aside.

669
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:52,000
The Yankees no runs, a base hit, a man left and out the end of one and a half the scores. Kansas City 2 and the Yankees nothing.

670
01:32:52,000 --> 01:33:06,000
Go Ozark! We make it easy for you. Go Ozark! We make it easy for you.

671
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:14,000

679
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:41,000
We'll lead off the bottom half of the second for Kansas City. Rohan has announced his retirement as a player as of the end of the 1977 season and he gets a standing ovation from many of the fans here in Kansas City.

680
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:46,000
He's been an outstanding player.

681
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:56,000
Over his career, he will continue in baseball in a coaching capacity but not with the Royals. Gidry's first pitch to the right hand hitter is high, ball one.

682
01:34:56,000 --> 01:35:05,000
Rohan is making his first appearance in this year's championship series. Over the season he batted 250, no home runs, 10 RBIs.

683
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:15,000
Fastball is over and the strike is called one-on-one on Rohan.

684
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:25,000
And the next pitch just missed the outside part of the plate. And again, Munson thought that might have been a strike.

685
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:31,000
A lot of conversations going on. Steve Bors and the first base umpire Bill Deegan.

686
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:46,000
Two-one pitch to Rohan. Hit in the air toward left center field. Panella going hard and he makes the catch and holds on. Panella made a diving catch, hit the ground and held on as that ball was sinking.

687
01:35:46,000 --> 01:36:06,000
He got there and Rohas is retired on a good play by Lufanella. That brings up left hand hitting Darrell Porter, the catcher, 4 for 11 in the series, no runs batted in.

688
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:17,000
He batted 275, he had 16 homers and had 60 runs batted in. Over the regular season for Kansas City, quite an acquisition. For the Royals the first pitch join.

689
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:27,000
Checks swing, pitches low for a ball.

690
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:38,000
The left handers box, feet close together. Idry Wines, the left handers pitch, breaking ball is up high. Two balls and no strikes. The Royals are leading two to nothing.

691
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:52,000
In field hit by Hal McCrae at triple by George Brett and the ground out by Cowan is getting the two runs in. Porter takes a rip and fouls it down. Two balls and a strike.

692
01:36:52,000 --> 01:37:04,000
He weren't with us in the first inning as Brett tripled over Rivers Head in right center field. He went in hard to third base, hit nettles and the fight broke out. It did not last long.

693
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:23,000
He was in the first run. Ball three. Had to play for low, three and one on Porter. Idry pumps, three-one offering. Line one hop off the glove. A grand off out of the right center field.

694
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:36,000
Porter is on, makes his turn, stops and comes back as the thrill comes in from Paul Blair. That is a basic. Sinking line drive came up on a hard hop, kicked away from what he ran off.

695
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:50,000
And Porter is on with the Royals fourth hit of the game. One on, one on and Frank White the batter.

696
01:37:50,000 --> 01:38:05,000
Right hand hitting second baseman batting ninth in the order. Four for 14 in this series with two runs batted in. White batted 245. He had five home runs, drove in 50 during the season.

697
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:24,000
And he takes a strike as he left the bunch. Frank White was the top fielding second baseman in the American League this year. Fielding 989.

698
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:38,000
Darrell Porter with his fifth hit of the series down at first base. Short lead. Idry looks at him and the pitch. White hits a fly ball to the left. That is deep. But back goes Penella. Backpedaling makes a one hand catch on the wanting track.

699
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:57,000
Penella fires back in towards second base as Porter retreats to first. White is out. Two down. It brings up the shot stop. Fred Pate. Pate routed out to Bucky Depp in the first inning. Right hand hitter.

700
01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:18,000
He is now seven for 14 in the series with five runs batted in. Idry deals on the outside corner strike one. Mickey Rivers has shaded a stepper two toward left field.

701
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:41,000
Penella straight away in left ball Blair guarding the alley and right center on the right hand hitting Patek. The old one pitch join. Bowl back on the screen strike two.

702
01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:54,000
Patek had a good year average wise. He batted 262. He led the American League and stolen bases with 53. He's had an excellent championship series.

703
01:39:54,000 --> 01:40:13,000
Idry off the set position checks Porter the pitch to Patek. Popped up on the behind the plate. Back comes Munson may have a play and does near the screen to retire to side. No runs at base at the man is left and at the end of two the score is Kansas City two the Yankees nothing.

704
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:29,000
You can't listen to radio watch television or read a newspaper without some auto manufacturer telling you what great gas mileage his car gets. They quote the EPA. They tell you how many miles per gallon they get in the city and how many they get on the highway.

705
01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:40,000
Well all these facts are great to know. But if there's anything you need as much as cars that make your gasoline go a little further. It's a gasoline that makes your dollar go a little further.

706
01:40:40,000 --> 01:41:01,000
At the Getty Oil Company we have a gasoline that's perfect for your car. Getty Unletted Regular with the octane performance of regular and the clean running smoothness of unleaded. But most important we sell Getty Unletted Regular for less than most other major unleaded.

707
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:14,000
So now you can choose a car and a gasoline that gives you more miles for your money. Getty Premium and Getty Unletted Regular. We've got what's best for your car.

708
01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:31,000
Gentlemen the ale master's ale is here. McSawley's cream ale. McSawley's has all the hearty full bodied flavor that an ale should have plus a smoothness that no other ale has. McSawley's is the macho ale for men of courage and daring men with a taste for life.

709
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:47,000
Gentlemen order a bottle at your tavern or club or pick up a six pack at the supermarket and you'll thank me for telling you about the ultimate in ales the ale master's ale McSawley's cream ale McSawley's limited orange New Jersey.

710
01:41:47,000 --> 01:42:07,000
Paul Blair will lead off with the Yankees. He's been to bat just one time in the series and he has one base hit. Over the season he batted 262 four home runs 25 runs batted in. Blair a veteran of six championship series now and four World Series.

711
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:23,000
Right hand hitter feet close fairly deep in the batter's box. He has always hit split off well in his career the pitch to him is lying but foul into the seats down in left field. Blair really got around on it folded foul.

712
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:32,000
Blair starting in place of Reggie Jackson. Jackson has never hit split off well. Blair has always been a good hitter against the Lattanner.

713
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:42,000
The old one pitch. He has it on the ground sharply the third dug up though by Brett the throw to first is high. He is out.

714
01:42:42,000 --> 01:43:08,000
But he came down on the back ahead of Blair. One way. With a good play there handling a bad throw from the third baseman Brett. Now shots got bucky down. Bucky is 2 4 11 in this series with two runs batted in the right hand hitter.

715
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:09,600
Brett shortens up at third on him,

716
01:43:09,600 --> 01:43:12,200
plays him even with the bag.

717
01:43:12,200 --> 01:43:15,400
Lucky takes a breaking ball low.

718
01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:18,100
Then batted 247 during the regular campaign,

719
01:43:18,100 --> 01:43:23,000
eight homers, 49 runs batted in.

720
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:24,800
Split off next pitch.

721
01:43:24,800 --> 01:43:26,600
Last ball fouled back.

722
01:43:26,600 --> 01:43:30,600
One and one.

723
01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:31,900
The Royals lead to nothing.

724
01:43:31,900 --> 01:43:36,000
We're in the top half of the third inning.

725
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:39,800
Jan Pack crowd here at Royal Stadium.

726
01:43:39,800 --> 01:43:43,100
At the hotel where those of us in the Yankee party stay,

727
01:43:43,100 --> 01:43:46,200
people around the lobby all day asking if tickets were available.

728
01:43:46,200 --> 01:43:46,800
They were not.

729
01:43:46,800 --> 01:43:48,000
One-one pitch.

730
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:49,400
Slow breaking ball is over.

731
01:43:49,400 --> 01:44:01,000
Strike two.

732
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:03,600
Split off into the line.

733
01:44:03,600 --> 01:44:04,600
Big kick.

734
01:44:04,600 --> 01:44:06,000
And the pitch hits his bat.

735
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:07,800
Power ball.

736
01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:09,200
Pitch was high and inside.

737
01:44:09,200 --> 01:44:11,400
Bucky Dent tried to get out of the way of it.

738
01:44:11,400 --> 01:44:12,700
It hit his bat.

739
01:44:12,700 --> 01:44:15,400
Power straight down behind the plate.

740
01:44:15,400 --> 01:44:19,000
Cattle to the ball and two strikes.

741
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:21,200
Split off lifetime against the Yankees.

742
01:44:21,200 --> 01:44:24,700
Has won 11 and lost five.

743
01:44:24,700 --> 01:44:27,000
He has always pitched well against the New York club.

744
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:28,100
One-two pitch to Dent.

745
01:44:28,100 --> 01:44:30,900
Fast ball is low.

746
01:44:30,900 --> 01:44:36,000
And the count is two and two.

747
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:43,000
And we tell you the breeze here in Kansas City blowing toward the left field corner.

748
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:44,200
At 12 miles an hour.

749
01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:47,200
The two-two pitch hit in the air to shuttle right.

750
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:53,300
Collins had him played perfectly and makes the catch.

751
01:44:53,300 --> 01:44:55,000
Two off.

752
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:56,400
That will bring up the top of the order.

753
01:44:56,400 --> 01:44:57,800
Mickey Rivell.

754
01:44:57,800 --> 01:45:03,000
The quick struck out in the first inning.

755
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:13,100
Rivers is the Yankees leading header in the series with now seven for nineteen.

01:45:16,500 --> 01:45:27,500
Low outside ball one.

758
01:45:27,500 --> 01:45:29,100
And the one O deal.

759
01:45:29,100 --> 01:45:31,600
Line up the middle base set.

760
01:45:31,600 --> 01:45:35,800
Frank White the second baseman made a bid to his right could not reach it and Rivers is on.

761
01:45:35,800 --> 01:45:39,800
Mickey's eighth hit of the series will pause for station identification.

762
01:45:39,800 --> 01:45:43,500
This is the New York Yankee home of champions radio network.

763
01:45:43,500 --> 01:45:47,600
WMCA Strauss communications in New York.

764
01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:49,600
This is Mel Allen.

765
01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:55,500
Emory doesn't discriminate against packages because of their size, weight or destination.

766
01:45:55,500 --> 01:46:01,200
Emory the Air Force and Airbreak.

767
01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:10,700
What a round off the batter Frank Musser along with Bill Rosito and Bill White in Kansas City and the pitch to round off his low a breaking ball from split off ball one.

768
01:46:10,700 --> 01:46:19,900
Randolph granted after the shot stop pot tag his first time up.

769
01:46:19,900 --> 01:46:25,800
The one O pitch bounce foul outside a third flag down by coach Dick Hauser.

770
01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:32,500
Hauser looks it over rubs it up and tosses it back to split off.

771
01:46:32,500 --> 01:46:38,600
Mickey Rivers moves back to first base.

772
01:46:38,600 --> 01:46:44,000
The Royals are leading two to nothing top half of the third two outs Rivers on.

773
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:50,100
The ball is out of gives Mickey a look.

774
01:46:50,100 --> 01:46:54,100
He is going the pitches taken for a ball throw to second base high.

775
01:46:54,100 --> 01:46:58,100
He's safe stolen base Rivers almost over slid the bag.

776
01:46:58,100 --> 01:47:05,100
Frank White took the throw a high throw from the catcher Darrell Porter Rivers had it beaten anyway and almost over slid Frank White double tagging.

777
01:47:05,100 --> 01:47:08,100
But Rivers kept his foot on the bag.

778
01:47:08,100 --> 01:47:20,100
The other third out is two balls and a strike on what he ran off.

779
01:47:20,100 --> 01:47:23,200
That is the Yankees second stolen base of the series.

780
01:47:23,200 --> 01:47:25,500
They have not had a man thrown out.

781
01:47:25,500 --> 01:47:35,200
The other theft Reggie Jackson.

782
01:47:35,200 --> 01:47:41,100
One strikeout on Willie Randolph out in the number two spot in the order tonight.

783
01:47:41,100 --> 01:47:42,300
Splilloff drops the hands.

784
01:47:42,300 --> 01:47:45,300
Here's the pitch breaking ball is over strike ball.

785
01:47:45,300 --> 01:47:57,300
He picked something off of Ellen just walked it over the plate.

786
01:47:57,300 --> 01:48:01,500
Randolph steps out.

787
01:48:01,500 --> 01:48:06,400
He's in the house.

788
01:48:06,400 --> 01:48:10,200
No one tells one.

789
01:48:10,200 --> 01:48:14,600
Now he's in and ready.

790
01:48:14,600 --> 01:48:18,600
Split off just dropped the hands no stretch to kick the pitch.

791
01:48:18,600 --> 01:48:20,300
It is low ball three.

792
01:48:20,300 --> 01:48:22,000
Pull count three and two on Randolph.

793
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:23,900
The outfield is spread out with the right fielder.

794
01:48:23,900 --> 01:48:27,600
Cowan shallow.

795
01:48:27,600 --> 01:48:35,200
The back soft deep at second base both on the edge of what would be the outfield grass.

796
01:48:35,200 --> 01:48:36,900
Three to pitch to Randolph.

797
01:48:36,900 --> 01:48:41,900
It is ball for Randolph is on on the first walk given up by Splilloff.

798
01:48:41,900 --> 01:48:48,900
The Yankees have two on with two gone and German Munson the batter.

799
01:48:48,900 --> 01:48:55,200
Munson routed out to Patek it short who made an outstanding play to throw him out in the first inning.

800
01:48:55,200 --> 01:49:02,500
Patek went deep in the hole back into the ball and got Munson in a close play at first.

801
01:49:02,500 --> 01:49:04,700
Patek will play Munson deep.

802
01:49:04,700 --> 01:49:06,600
Brett is backed off at third.

803
01:49:06,600 --> 01:49:12,500
The outfield stays spread out.

804
01:49:12,500 --> 01:49:16,500
Now Munson wants the baseball looked at and Brummington calls for it.

805
01:49:16,500 --> 01:49:26,300
The Empire crosses it back to Splilloff.

806
01:49:26,300 --> 01:49:32,500
Splilloff beat the Yankees seven to two in the opening game of this championship series.

807
01:49:32,500 --> 01:49:36,000
Worked in two games out of the bullpen last year against the Yankees.

808
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:38,900
Here's pitched to Munson ball one.

809
01:49:38,900 --> 01:49:46,400
It was outside Porter grabs the outside pitch pulls it back into strike zone but it doesn't pull anybody.

810
01:49:46,400 --> 01:49:50,500
One ball and no strikes.

811
01:49:50,500 --> 01:49:54,600
The Royals lead to nothing.

812
01:49:54,600 --> 01:50:01,900
Rivers at second ran off at first and the one over Munson lined out of the right field.

813
01:50:01,900 --> 01:50:04,500
That's going to be a base hit played on one hop by Collins.

814
01:50:04,500 --> 01:50:08,800
Here comes Rivers headed for the plate a throw up the third baseline from Collins.

815
01:50:08,800 --> 01:50:10,300
The Yankees have a run.

816
01:50:10,300 --> 01:50:16,500
Randolph stops at second base and Munson has driven in his fifth run of the championship series.

817
01:50:16,500 --> 01:50:19,900
It is now a two to one ball game.

818
01:50:19,900 --> 01:50:23,400
Munson in a line drive to right field.

819
01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:30,100
Collins played the ball in a hurry fired back in his throw was up the third baseline.

820
01:50:30,100 --> 01:50:36,700
Porter got to it and Randolph had to hold at second base.

821
01:50:36,700 --> 01:50:47,400
So it's a two to one ball game and now with Lupinala stepping in Galen Cisco the pitching coach for the Royals walks out to the mound.

822
01:50:47,400 --> 01:50:54,800
Right hander is throwing out in the Kansas City bullpen.

823
01:50:54,800 --> 01:50:56,900
Could very well be Jim Colborn.

824
01:50:56,900 --> 01:51:02,800
That's what appears to be.

825
01:51:02,800 --> 01:51:10,000
Now the announcement is made it is Doug Bird who is throwing in the bullpen a right hander.

826
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:16,300
Munson wants to talk to first base umpire Bill Deegan about something so time is called on a first base.

827
01:51:16,300 --> 01:51:17,900
Galen Cisco leaves the mound.

828
01:51:17,900 --> 01:51:20,500
Penella steps in.

829
01:51:20,500 --> 01:51:25,900
Penella doubled to left center field his first time up.

830
01:51:25,900 --> 01:51:33,200
Penella now has six hits in the series.

831
01:51:33,200 --> 01:51:34,700
But Johnson is on deck.

832
01:51:34,700 --> 01:51:41,800
Split off pitches foul back strike one.

833
01:51:41,800 --> 01:51:53,400
Bobby Cox now talks to Munson down at first.

834
01:51:53,400 --> 01:52:01,200
The Royals to the Yankees one here on the top of the third Randolph at second months and at first a one strike pitch to Lupinala with two outs.

835
01:52:01,200 --> 01:52:10,200
Here it is inside one ball one strike.

836
01:52:10,200 --> 01:52:16,700
The outfield is very much spread out against Penella.

837
01:52:16,700 --> 01:52:21,500
In field shades of a couple of steps to the left side.

838
01:52:21,500 --> 01:52:24,400
Penella getting some dirt on his hands.

839
01:52:24,400 --> 01:52:32,100
I stepped out of the batter's box now he moves back in.

840
01:52:32,100 --> 01:52:37,900
Randolph and Munson take their lead.

841
01:52:37,900 --> 01:52:45,800
And the one one pitch line foul into the seats on the right side.

842
01:52:45,800 --> 01:52:57,500
Two ball and two strikes on Lupinala.

843
01:52:57,500 --> 01:53:04,400
Johnson is in the on deck circle.

844
01:53:04,400 --> 01:53:09,100
Split off looks for his son.

845
01:53:09,100 --> 01:53:11,200
Drops the hands no stretch.

846
01:53:11,200 --> 01:53:21,600
Here's the pitch upstairs to balls two strikes.

847
01:53:21,600 --> 01:53:34,700
The Yankees win this ball game the World Series will start Tuesday night in New York at the Royals win it the World Series will start Tuesday night here in Kansas City.

848
01:53:34,700 --> 01:53:42,100
Here's the pitch to the Penella slow breaking ball is set on the ground at third bread is up with it makes his throat a first in time to get Penella.

849
01:53:42,100 --> 01:53:45,500
And the Yankees are retired one run two hits two man left.

850
01:53:45,500 --> 01:53:59,200
And at the end of two and a half the stores Kansas City two and the Yankees one.

851
01:53:59,200 --> 01:54:09,400

Hal McRae leads off the bottom half of the third. Right hand header beat out an infield hit to shortstop his first trip and scored.

884
01:55:53,900 --> 01:55:56,900
He hits one deep toward the left field corner. That's going to be trouble.

885
01:55:56,900 --> 01:55:58,900
Canola can't get to it. One hops off the wall.

886
01:55:58,900 --> 01:56:09,900
Canola plays the car and Hal McRae is in with a double.

887
01:56:09,900 --> 01:56:24,900
A two base hit for Hal McRae. A shot into the left field corner off Goodreads.

888
01:56:24,900 --> 01:56:35,900
For McRae, his sixth hit and third double of the series. His seventh hit and third double.

889
01:56:35,900 --> 01:56:42,900
A two base hit for two in this game. Now George Brett, who tripled the right center field in the first inning to drive in a run and later scored.

890
01:56:42,900 --> 01:56:45,900
Left hand header takes a low fastball. Ball one.

891
01:56:45,900 --> 01:56:56,900
And activity will start in the Yankee bullpen.

892
01:56:56,900 --> 01:57:04,900
One-hole pitch. Powered by Mike Torres who started to throw in the Yankee bullpen. Big right hander warming up.

893
01:57:04,900 --> 01:57:08,900
Blair in right field plays Brett in the alley in right center.

894
01:57:08,900 --> 01:57:15,900
Rivers is shaded to the left. Canola is shaded towards center. They give Brett both corners.

895
01:57:15,900 --> 01:57:19,900
Try to cut off the extra base in the alley. Now Rivers is straightened up in center.

896
01:57:19,900 --> 01:57:23,900
The pitch is rolling inside. The counters two balls and no strikes on George Brett.

897
01:57:23,900 --> 01:57:29,900
Al Collins is on deck. In the first inning with one out McRae beat out an infield hit.

898
01:57:29,900 --> 01:57:32,900
Brett doubled over Rivers head in the right center.

899
01:57:32,900 --> 01:57:36,900
And later scored on a ground out. He swings chops one. George first.

900
01:57:36,900 --> 01:57:40,900
Chandler has it. Gidrie over the cover. Takes the throw in time. Brett is out.

901
01:57:40,900 --> 01:57:44,900
On the play. McRae moves to third. So Brett has done his job.

902
01:57:44,900 --> 01:57:50,900
He has moved Hal McRae over to third base. There is only one out. And the batter Al Collins.

903
01:57:50,900 --> 01:57:57,900
And Billy Martin is on his way out to the mound.

904
01:57:57,900 --> 01:58:06,900
He's on with his hands in his hip pockets. Crosses the foul line. He calls Thurman Munson out.

905
01:58:06,900 --> 01:58:11,900
The Royals have a runner at third. Only one out and they are leading two to one.

906
01:58:11,900 --> 01:58:16,900
After the Royals got their two runs in the first inning the Yankees came back here in the top half of the third.

907
01:58:16,900 --> 01:58:22,900
With two out. Mickey Rivers who makes things happen. Single the center field. He stole second.

908
01:58:22,900 --> 01:58:27,900
And the Yankees ran off. Walked in Thurman Munson. Lined a base hit in the right field.

909
01:58:27,900 --> 01:58:32,900
Getting Rivers home with the Yankees run. Now played on by Nick Brunigan.

910
01:58:32,900 --> 01:58:36,900
Will go out to break up the mound conference. Billy Martin turns around.

911
01:58:36,900 --> 01:58:42,900
And now starts jogging back to at the Yankee dugout down the third base line.

912
01:58:42,900 --> 01:58:53,900
The right hand batter has driven in four runs in the series. With three base hits in 16 drips.

913
01:58:53,900 --> 01:59:04,900
Now Munson out again to talk to Ron Gidry. Mike Torres is throwing in the Yankee bullpen.

914
01:59:04,900 --> 01:59:08,900
The Yankees will bring the infield in with a runner at third and one away.

915
01:59:08,900 --> 01:59:17,900
The outfield is spread out with Panela deep and left. Where not too deep in right field.

916
01:59:17,900 --> 01:59:23,900
Gidry works off the set position and the pitch. The Cowins is lined to left. That will be a base hit.

917
01:59:23,900 --> 01:59:31,900
In comes McCray with run number three and the Kansas City Royals lead three to one.

918
01:59:31,900 --> 01:59:42,900
And that will be all for Ron Gidry. Now Cowins gets his second RBI this ballgame.

919
01:59:42,900 --> 01:59:46,900
He gets his fourth hit of the series. A solid line shot to left field.

920
01:59:46,900 --> 01:59:53,900
And now with Amos Otis and John Waffin both right hand hitters and following them Cookie Rojas.

921
01:59:53,900 --> 01:59:57,900
Billy Martin is out to pull Gidry in favor of Mike Torres.

922
01:59:57,900 --> 02:00:05,900
Right now the new Yankee pitcher Mike Torres is making his way to the mound.

923
02:00:05,900 --> 02:00:11,900
If you're thinking about a far away vacation but money's keeping you close to home come on into HFC.

924
02:00:11,900 --> 02:00:25,900
With an HFC travel loan you could get away from it all. HFC an equal opportunity lender.

925
02:00:25,900 --> 02:00:30,900
Household finance where people use our money to get the most out of life.

926
02:00:30,900 --> 02:00:34,900
Come on into HFC.

927
02:00:34,900 --> 02:00:45,900
In a time you knew you who you who chocolate drink. Do yourself a favor and try the super flavor of America's favorite chocolate drink.

928
02:00:45,900 --> 02:00:51,900
It's got real goodness protein goodness and cool refreshing taste.

929
02:00:51,900 --> 02:00:57,900
The chocolate charge up that's non-carbonated doesn't even have to be refrigerated.

930
02:00:57,900 --> 02:01:05,900
So isn't it time to do you who you who chocolate drink. It's so delicious. You who chocolate drink.

931
02:01:05,900 --> 02:01:11,900
When a chocolate soft drink is number one in the USA it's got to have something going for it.

932
02:01:11,900 --> 02:01:15,900
You who does great taste rich and creamy really refreshing.

933
02:01:15,900 --> 02:01:21,900
And you who chocolate drink contains high quality protein made from 99% fat free milk.

You who is another fine product of Iroquois brand.

936
02:01:37,900 --> 02:01:45,900
Now Porter also had two hits off of him.

937
02:01:45,900 --> 02:01:51,900
First man he works to coming into this game Amos Otis who had a bunch single in the first inning.

938
02:01:51,900 --> 02:02:00,900
Otis did not face Torres in that ballgame.

939
02:02:00,900 --> 02:02:08,900
So Mike Torres on after Ron Goodry goes only two and one third innings. Goodry is charged with three runs.

940
02:02:08,900 --> 02:02:21,900
He allowed six bases. He did not walk anybody and he struck out one man.

941
02:02:21,900 --> 02:02:33,900
Mike Torres 6 5 2 10 came to the Yankees early this season from the Oakland A's in the trade for Doc Ellis Marty Perez and Larry Murray.

942
02:02:33,900 --> 02:02:39,900
He was the top winner on the Yankee staff with 17 victories during the season.

943
02:02:39,900 --> 02:02:48,900
He won seven consecutive complete games in late July and early to mid August on sliding with the Yankees run to the top.

944
02:02:48,900 --> 02:02:56,900
Torres certainly contributed this year and will try now to stop the Kansas City Royals working here in relief.

945
02:02:56,900 --> 02:03:03,900
Amos Otis will step in against him.

946
02:03:03,900 --> 02:03:14,900
Torres overall this year won 17 and lost 13 in 35 starts he had 17 complete games and two shutouts.

947
02:03:14,900 --> 02:03:22,900
Right hand hitting Amos Otis with talents at first one out the Royals are leading three to one here in the bottom half of the third inning.

948
02:03:22,900 --> 02:03:29,900
Torres stretches high into the belt checks the runner of the left shoulder throws the first safe high throws sale.

949
02:03:29,900 --> 02:03:45,900
And the Chambliss had to reach up for it. Rivers straight away inside against Amos Otis.

950
02:03:45,900 --> 02:03:47,900
That and Randolph lay up the middle.

951
02:03:47,900 --> 02:03:49,900
Nettles is back down the third.

952
02:03:49,900 --> 02:03:57,900
Chambliss holding Collins on Torres pitch swing and a miss strike one.

953
02:03:57,900 --> 02:04:05,900
Amos Otis not starting the game Torres started as a pitcher for the Yankees was bad Amos Otis had never hit Torres that well.

954
02:04:05,900 --> 02:04:08,900
That was from Whitey Herzard.

955
02:04:08,900 --> 02:04:22,900
Otis did not get a start when Torres went out Otis was employed as a pinch hitter against Sparky Lyle and double.

956
02:04:22,900 --> 02:04:34,900
Nettles checks the runner at first and the pitch strike two call the fast ball at O and two.

957
02:04:34,900 --> 02:04:42,900
Kansas City leads three to one. Collins at first one away.

958
02:04:42,900 --> 02:04:57,900
And the ball is now offering high and tight one ball and two strikes.

959
02:04:57,900 --> 02:05:06,900
There are Yankee fans here in Kansas City but it is a predominantly Kansas City Royal crowd.

960
02:05:06,900 --> 02:05:14,900
As Torres stretches time is called by the plate on fire Nick Remigan.

961
02:05:14,900 --> 02:05:32,900
Allons walks off his lead again at first and the one two pitch to Otis foul back.

962
02:05:32,900 --> 02:05:40,900
Yankees will be flying back to New York after the ball game tonight.

963
02:05:40,900 --> 02:05:51,900
They will be flying into Newark Airport on their United Airlines DC 8 shutter.

964
02:05:51,900 --> 02:05:53,900
Here's the pitch.

965
02:05:53,900 --> 02:05:54,900
Foul.

966
02:05:54,900 --> 02:05:55,900
How to play on the right side.

967
02:05:55,900 --> 02:05:59,900
Well back in the seats and that makes the upper deck.

968
02:05:59,900 --> 02:06:04,900
Now Thurman Munson walks out of the mound attract the Mike Torres and Torres looking down at the mound

969
02:06:04,900 --> 02:06:12,900
and may be having a little trouble with it.

970
02:06:12,900 --> 02:06:34,900
He's looking around around and comes back.

971
02:06:34,900 --> 02:06:36,900
One ball two strikes on Otis.

972
02:06:36,900 --> 02:06:42,900
Don's at first one away. The sat here is the pitch swing and a miss struck him out.

973
02:06:42,900 --> 02:06:49,900
Torres fans Otis threw it to down.

974
02:06:49,900 --> 02:06:54,900
Now John Waffin who was struck out by Goodry to end the first inning.

975
02:06:54,900 --> 02:07:01,900
Waffin is a right hand batter playing for John Mayberry.

976
02:07:01,900 --> 02:07:09,900
We are told suffered a reaction from a pain killing medicine that he took for a two-fake.

977
02:07:09,900 --> 02:07:15,900
Developed busyness in yesterday's game had to leave.

978
02:07:15,900 --> 02:07:17,900
Waffin right hand hitter.

979
02:07:17,900 --> 02:07:30,900
Torres pitch going outside ball on breaking off.

980
02:07:30,900 --> 02:07:39,900
Torres stretches checks counts at first the pitch strike call the Waffin got the outside corner one and one.

981
02:07:39,900 --> 02:07:49,900
Cookie Rojas is on deck.

982
02:07:49,900 --> 02:07:59,900
The stretch by Torres to look to first one one pitch a pitch out when it was not going it's two balls in a strike.

983
02:07:59,900 --> 02:08:05,900
Waffin calls for the pitch out now Munson looks over to Billy Mugman the Yankee dugout.

984
02:08:05,900 --> 02:08:09,900
Billy up on the top steps gives Munson a sign.

985
02:08:09,900 --> 02:08:13,900
Collins is going the pitches one out and fouled back.

986
02:08:13,900 --> 02:08:18,900
They had to hit and run on and Waffin fouled it back so Collins will turn around and come back to first.

987
02:08:18,900 --> 02:08:31,900
Waffin strikes on Waffin.

988
02:08:31,900 --> 02:08:42,900
Waffin is stepped out now back in.

989
02:08:42,900 --> 02:08:49,900
Torres stretches checks counts with a look to pitch to Waffin struck him out slinging a miss and that retires the side.

990
02:08:49,900 --> 02:08:59,900
But the Royals pick up one run on two hits they leave a man and at the end of three innings of play the score is Kansas City three and the Yankees one.

991

1003
02:10:39,900 --> 02:10:44,900
First pitch to Johnson he backs off a fastball that's inside.

1004
02:10:44,900 --> 02:10:53,900
Cliff has been up one time in the ballgame so far he flies to Al Cowans in right field.

1005
02:10:53,900 --> 02:11:02,900
Johnson five or fourteen in the series so far. Here's a line by Split Orphan the pitch curveball is fouled back.

1006
02:11:02,900 --> 02:11:11,900
It's one and one. The Royals have three runs on six base hits in this ballgame the Yankees one run on three.

1007
02:11:11,900 --> 02:11:15,900
The Royal runs have been driven in by George Brett Al Cowans.

1008
02:11:15,900 --> 02:11:25,900
In fact Cowans has two runs batted in in this ballgame and a total of five in the series he protect and Mutson all have five runs batted in.

1009
02:11:25,900 --> 02:11:30,900
Johnson backs off a fastball inside two and one.

1010
02:11:30,900 --> 02:11:36,900
There are Mutson of course has driven in the Yankee run.

1011
02:11:36,900 --> 02:11:46,900
Long way to go in the ballgame six more at bats for the Yankees and the Royals two one to Johnson.

1012
02:11:46,900 --> 02:11:57,900
He checks the swing takes it on the inside corner two and two.

1013
02:11:57,900 --> 02:12:06,900
That call Johnson took a little walk out of the batter's box.

1014
02:12:06,900 --> 02:12:11,900
He says something out of home plate on fire Nick Brumigan as he settles back in the box.

1015
02:12:11,900 --> 02:12:20,900
Split Orphan winds and the two to pitch to Johnson curveball is bounced foul back to the screen count remains two and two.

1016
02:12:20,900 --> 02:12:35,900
The ball is gone with a lot of breaking balls so far this ballgame especially to Cliff Johnson and also to Willie Randolph.

1017
02:12:35,900 --> 02:12:37,900
Johnson out of the box.

1018
02:12:37,900 --> 02:12:42,900
He stands in stands right up on the plate.

1019
02:12:42,900 --> 02:12:45,900
Here's Split Orphan with the two to delivery.

1020
02:12:45,900 --> 02:12:50,900
The ball is fouled back to two and two.

1021
02:12:50,900 --> 02:12:55,900
And Cliff got a piece of it.

1022
02:12:55,900 --> 02:13:01,900
George breaded third for the Royals ready pot that playing shortstop actually playing out in shallow left field.

1023
02:13:01,900 --> 02:13:10,900
Frank White the second baseman and John Woffin playing first base in place of John Mayberry.

1024
02:13:10,900 --> 02:13:12,900
Here's a two to pitch to Johnson.

1025
02:13:12,900 --> 02:13:17,900
Swung on and line fouled into the seats out left field.

1026
02:13:17,900 --> 02:13:21,900
John Mayberry by the way was bothered by a sore tooth yesterday.

1027
02:13:21,900 --> 02:13:27,900
Took a couple of pain killing pills and had a bad day and today he had that tooth extracted.

1028
02:13:27,900 --> 02:13:29,900
He's not in the ball game.

1029
02:13:29,900 --> 02:13:34,900
Just rolling jaw.

1030
02:13:34,900 --> 02:13:36,900
Here's a two to now to Johnson.

1031
02:13:36,900 --> 02:13:39,900
Swung on and pulled fouled again outside third.

1032
02:13:39,900 --> 02:13:45,900
This one made Dick Houser get out of the way and the count remains two and two.

1033
02:13:45,900 --> 02:13:56,900
Royal outfield has how McCray and left Amos Otis in center playing a deep center field and Al Cowan's out in right field.

1034
02:13:56,900 --> 02:13:58,900
Two balls two strikes on Cliff Johnson.

1035
02:13:58,900 --> 02:14:04,900
He'll be followed by Greg Nettles and then Chris Chambliss.

1036
02:14:04,900 --> 02:14:14,900
Put the orphan in the wind up and the two to pitch curve is outside three and two.

1037
02:14:14,900 --> 02:14:19,900
When blowing toward left here at Royal Stadium yesterday was blowing a gale toward right.

1038
02:14:19,900 --> 02:14:21,900
Here's a payoff pitch to Johnson.

1039
02:14:21,900 --> 02:14:26,900
Curve ball line fouled into the seats left side and Johnson might have broken his back.

1040
02:14:26,900 --> 02:14:28,900
Yes he has broken his back.

1041
02:14:28,900 --> 02:14:46,900
Well Cliff will walk over to the Yankee dugout and get some new lumber and we'll take 15 seconds for station identification while Cliff Johnson gets a new lumber on the New York Yankee Home of Champions Radio Network.

1042
02:14:46,900 --> 02:14:49,900
WMCA Strauss communications in New York.

1043
02:14:49,900 --> 02:14:51,900
This is Mel Allen.

1044
02:14:51,900 --> 02:14:57,900
If Yankee pitchers want to see someone with a really great delivery they ought to call Emory.

1045
02:14:57,900 --> 02:15:05,900
The Air Force and Air Freight.

1046
02:15:05,900 --> 02:15:09,900
Don't play down by Nick Brimigan that went over and he's trying to hurry John Snupp.

1047
02:15:09,900 --> 02:15:15,900
Cliff went and got his bat and then went to the on deck circle and picked up some pine tar.

1048
02:15:15,900 --> 02:15:17,900
Brimigan wants him in the batter's box.

1049
02:15:17,900 --> 02:15:21,900
Count three to nobody out Johnson leading off fourth inning for the Yankees.

1050
02:15:21,900 --> 02:15:29,900
The ball goes ahead by a score of three to one.

1051
02:15:29,900 --> 02:15:32,900
The dwarf in the wind up and the payoff pitch.

1052
02:15:32,900 --> 02:15:43,900
Swung on it to left field McCray going back into the corner still back up against the wall and it's up against the wall and bounces back in and Johnson goes in the second base.

1053
02:15:43,900 --> 02:15:49,900
That ball hit that reigning on top of the wall between the fence and the wall and stayed up there then bounced back in.

1054
02:15:49,900 --> 02:16:00,900
And when it got to look like it might have been a home run but it hit the railing and bounced back in and Johnson seemed in the second base with a double.

1055
02:16:00,900 --> 02:16:04,900
I think that wind really helped the ball then McCray went back like he thought he had a chance.

1056
02:16:04,900 --> 02:16:07,900
He kept back pedaling finally got up against the wall there.

1057
02:16:07,900 --> 02:16:09,900
The ball hit off the top of the wall.

1058
02:16:09,900 --> 02:16:16,900
There's a railing running around the wall from the 3 30 mark down the line to the Yankee bullpen.

1059
02:16:16,900 --> 02:16:19,900
And the same thing is down the right field corner.

1060
02:16:19,900 --> 02:16:22,900
So Johnson is double leading off here's nettles.

1061
02:16:22,900 --> 02:16:32,900
Pitch to Gray swung on and missed.

1062
02:16:32,900 --> 02:16:38,900
For Cliff Johnson that's his sixth base hit and 15 times up.

1063
02:16:38,900 --> 02:16:48,900
And feel playing nettles to pull his job here is to get Johnson to third base or hold pops it up on the left side of the end field.

1064
02:16:48,900 --> 02:16:57,900
George Brett the third baseman in foul territory makes it catch.

1065
02:16:57,900 --> 02:17:14,900
One away Johnson still down at second base not a bring on Chris Campbell.

1066
02:17:14,900 --> 02:17:28,900
The ball game so far has been up once bounced a short royal play him to pull pot that the shortstop was up behind second base.

1067
02:17:28,900 --> 02:17:44,900
Swung on bounced a short has a big up throws on the Woffin and they've got Campbell on the play.

1068
02:17:44,900 --> 02:17:50,900
The batter is Paul Blair the right fielder.

1069
02:17:50,900 --> 02:17:59,900
Blair has been up three times in this area so far.

1070
02:17:59,900 --> 02:18:08,900
Got a single up the middle yesterday after he went into the ball game in the ninth inning to play defense for Reggie Jackson getting a start here.

1071
02:18:08,900 --> 02:18:11,900
And this final game.

1072
02:18:11,900 --> 02:18:16,900
George Brett the third baseman through Blair out his first time up.

1073
02:18:16,900 --> 02:18:31,900
The ball strike on the outside corner on deck is Bucky did Royals leading three to one Yankees have a runner at third base with two outs in the top half before the inning.

1074
02:18:31,900 --> 02:18:49,900
The ball runs tough with three points and the one strike pitch inside one ball one strike left Johnson just missing a home run by about three feet.

1075
02:18:49,900 --> 02:18:56,900
Here's a 1 1 pitch to Blair inside two balls in a strike.

1076
02:18:56,900 --> 02:19:00,840
the left field corner right on

1077
02:19:00,840 --> 02:19:03,240

1078
02:19:03,240 --> 02:19:04,680
bounced back onto the field

1079
02:19:06,040 --> 02:19:09,480
Johnson double he's now a third

1080
02:19:09,480 --> 02:19:10,980

1081
02:19:10,980 --> 02:19:12,780

retire no runs on one base hit

1088
02:19:38,400 --> 02:19:40,240
and a man left on by the

1089
02:19:40,240 --> 02:19:41,500
Yankees were going to the bottom

1090
02:19:41,500 --> 02:19:42,940
of the fourth inning the Royals

1091
02:19:42,940 --> 02:19:44,580

1092
02:20:07,120 --> 02:20:08,720

the

1095
02:20:23,000 --> 02:20:34,140
americans

1096
02:20:34,140 --> 02:20:37,440
the

1097
02:20:37,440 --> 02:20:39,340
th

1098
02:20:39,340 --> 02:20:57,480
RICO has it all, quality, value and selection in every department.

1099
02:20:57,480 --> 02:21:02,360
Come in and check out the hardware, plumbing, power tools, paint, linens, draperies, house

1100
02:21:02,360 --> 02:21:04,840
wares, carpets, building materials.

1101
02:21:04,840 --> 02:21:09,980
Tools save on energy savers, installation, caulking, storms, screens and more.

1102
02:21:09,980 --> 02:21:12,860
RICO's helps you do it better because they have it all.

1103
02:21:12,860 --> 02:21:23,140
RICO helps you do it better, do it better with RICO.

1104
02:21:23,140 --> 02:21:28,980
Mike Torres, hot warming up as we get ready to go into the bottom half of the fourth inning

1105
02:21:28,980 --> 02:21:29,980
at Royal Stadium.

1106
02:21:29,980 --> 02:21:32,580
The Royals leading the A&K's five score three to one.

1107
02:21:32,580 --> 02:21:39,340
Little note on Torres, he's making his first relief appearance since August 14th of 1974.

1108
02:21:39,340 --> 02:21:44,500
Back in that year, Mike Torres was with the Montreal Expos and he made that relief appearance

1109
02:21:44,500 --> 02:21:45,500
against the Atlanta Braves.

1110
02:21:45,500 --> 02:21:53,620
Of course, this is the final game of his five game series and it will be the final game of

1111
02:21:53,620 --> 02:21:57,620
the season for one of these two clubs, so everybody's got to get ready.

1112
02:21:57,620 --> 02:22:03,060
Cookie Rojas stands in against Mike Torres and Cookie takes outside ball one.

1113
02:22:03,060 --> 02:22:09,060
Rojas has been up once and Lupin Alamedo fine diving catch of his line drive in left center

1114
02:22:09,060 --> 02:22:11,580
field in the second inning.

1115
02:22:11,580 --> 02:22:14,580
Rojas takes the strike, it's one and one.

1116
02:22:14,580 --> 02:22:20,380
Rojas a surprise starter as a designated hitter tonight.

1117
02:22:20,380 --> 02:22:23,380
One-one pitch up the middle through, they hit.

1118
02:22:23,380 --> 02:22:30,380
Rivers gets the ball back in and Rojas goes his first base.

1119
02:22:30,380 --> 02:22:39,380
First hit against Mike Torres, he struck out the first too many-faced, relieving Ron

1120
02:22:39,380 --> 02:22:42,380
Gidwin in the third inning, struck out Otis and Wathen.

1121
02:22:42,380 --> 02:22:47,380
Rojas on his first base, nobody else but batter Darrell Porter the catcher.

1122
02:22:47,380 --> 02:22:51,380
He's been up once single to right center.

1123
02:22:51,380 --> 02:22:57,380
Porter has hit well against Yankees in this series and also during the year he's five

1124
02:22:57,380 --> 02:23:00,380
or twelve in a series.

1125
02:23:00,380 --> 02:23:07,380
Rojas off first base, he is not a threat to steer.

1126
02:23:07,380 --> 02:23:12,380
Pitch supporter is high and away ball one.

1127
02:23:12,380 --> 02:23:24,380
They hit by Rojas, the seventh hit in this ball game for the Kansas City Royals.

1128
02:23:24,380 --> 02:23:32,380
Now Torres is at the belt, the one-one pitch, high and away ball two.

1129
02:23:32,380 --> 02:23:43,380
Mike Torres behind in the count, Darrell Porter two balls and no strikes.

1130
02:23:43,380 --> 02:23:51,380
Now Mike is at the belt, two-one pitch, swung on it in the center, field, Rivers going back, still going.

1131
02:23:51,380 --> 02:23:55,380
And that ball is cut by Mickey Rivers up against the wall.

1132
02:23:55,380 --> 02:23:59,380
Rojas all the way down to second base has to hustle back to first.

1133
02:23:59,380 --> 02:24:06,380
Mickey Rivers making use of every inch of his height as he went to the wall and straight away center field,

1134
02:24:06,380 --> 02:24:10,380
got their lead high upon the wall and made the catch.

1135
02:24:10,380 --> 02:24:15,380
Got to give Rivers a five-seven stars, even the partisan royal fans have to clap for that catch.

1136
02:24:15,380 --> 02:24:18,380
Good running grab by Mickey Rivers.

1137
02:24:18,380 --> 02:24:23,380
There's one away.

1138
02:24:23,380 --> 02:24:27,380
That'll bring on Frank White, the second baseman.

1139
02:24:27,380 --> 02:24:30,380
White's been up once, flies to the left.

1140
02:24:30,380 --> 02:24:38,380
Now Mickey Rivers saved at least one run with that running catch in straight away center.

1141
02:24:38,380 --> 02:24:40,380
White's a right-handed batter.

1142
02:24:40,380 --> 02:24:43,380
Torres sets and the pitch.

1143
02:24:43,380 --> 02:24:49,380
Two high, ball one.

1144
02:24:49,380 --> 02:24:52,380
Ron Goodry started the ball game for the Yankees.

1145
02:24:52,380 --> 02:24:58,380
He went two and one third innings.

1146
02:24:58,380 --> 02:25:02,380
Gave up three runs on six base hits.

1147
02:25:02,380 --> 02:25:07,380
The 1-0, White takes in there, called strike hits one and one.

1148
02:25:07,380 --> 02:25:12,380
Goodry had pretty good control, he didn't walk anybody and he only struck out one.

1149
02:25:12,380 --> 02:25:17,380
Little tough to come back with just two days' rest.

1150
02:25:17,380 --> 02:25:23,380
Now Torres sets, one-one pitched away, curve ball is high, two and one.

1151
02:25:23,380 --> 02:25:27,380
Royals three Yankees, one bottom half before the inning.

1152
02:25:27,380 --> 02:25:31,380
Cookie Rojas at first base for the Royals and one away.

1153
02:25:31,380 --> 02:25:35,380
Yankees sets their infield up, looking for two.

1154
02:25:35,380 --> 02:25:37,380
Offfield shades White toward right.

1155
02:25:37,380 --> 02:25:40,380
Time is called now Torres wants a tie-shoot string.

1156
02:25:40,380 --> 02:25:42,380
Nettles is the third baseman for the Yankees,

1157
02:25:42,380 --> 02:25:55,380
then to shortstop Randall playing a second and Chandler is holding Rojas at first.

1158
02:25:55,380 --> 02:25:57,380
Chuck Hiller, a coach, is third base for the Royals.

1159
02:25:57,380 --> 02:26:01,380
Steve Morales is the first base coach.

1160
02:26:01,380 --> 02:26:03,380
Torres with a new ball.

1161
02:26:03,380 --> 02:26:07,380
Checks Rojas, two-two pitch, clung on and missed.

1162
02:26:07,380 --> 02:26:10,380
Mike Torres threw a fastball by Frank White.

1163
02:26:10,380 --> 02:26:13,380
So White strikes off for the second, second out.

1164
02:26:13,380 --> 02:26:15,380
That's the third strikeout for Torres.

1165
02:26:15,380 --> 02:26:20,380
And that'll bring on Freddie Potec at shortstop.

1166
02:26:20,380 --> 02:26:22,380
Potec has had a good series with the Royals.

1167
02:26:22,380 --> 02:26:27,380
He's seven for fifteen with five runs batted in.

1168
02:26:27,380 --> 02:26:31,380
Right hander batted.

1169
02:26:31,380 --> 02:26:34,380
Now Torres sets and the pitch to Potec.

1170
02:26:34,380 --> 02:26:43,380
Two high ball one.

1171
02:26:43,380 --> 02:26:45,380
Torres working quickly.

1172
02:26:45,380 --> 02:26:46,380
The one-oh pitch.

1173
02:26:46,380 --> 02:26:48,380
Two high ball two.

1174
02:26:48,380 --> 02:26:58,380
On deck is Hal McCrae.

1175
02:26:58,380 --> 02:27:00,380
Now Torres is ready.

1176
02:27:00,380 --> 02:27:04,380
And Rojas is going. The pitch is taking a strike and no throw.

1177
02:27:04,380 --> 02:27:11,380
Cookie Rojas as soon as Torres got to the belt took off.

1178
02:27:11,380 --> 02:27:15,380
Mike Torres had already made up his mind to come home and instead of stepping off,

1179
02:27:15,380 --> 02:27:18,380
he threw, got it in for a strike.

1180
02:27:18,380 --> 02:27:20,380
It was taken by Potec.

1181
02:27:20,380 --> 02:27:22,380
No throw down to second base.

1182
02:27:22,380 --> 02:27:24,380
Rojas is stolen the base.

1183
02:27:24,380 --> 02:27:28,380
He's down there with two outs to count two balls and a strike on Freddie Potec.

1184
02:27:28,380 --> 02:27:30,380
The pitch.

1185
02:27:30,380 --> 02:27:36,380
Lines to right field. Blair is after it on the run and can't get to it.

1186
02:27:36,380 --> 02:27:38,380
Ball slides foul down the right field line.

1187
02:27:38,380 --> 02:27:45,380
Ball Blair couldn't get to it.

1188
02:27:45,380 --> 02:27:48,380
Close down the right side.

1189
02:27:48,380 --> 02:27:54,380
Oh it's two and two on Freddie Potec.

1190
02:27:54,380 --> 02:28:02,380
Rojas back at second base and Potec comes back to the plate.

1191
02:28:02,380 --> 02:28:15,380
Blair now moves a little closer to the right field line for Freddie Potec.

1192
02:28:15,380 --> 02:28:17,380
Two balls, two strikes, two outs.

1193
02:28:17,380 --> 02:28:23,380
Freddie Potec number two at bat and a runner down at second base.

1194
02:28:23,380 --> 02:28:24,380
The pitch.

1195
02:28:24,380 --> 02:28:27,380
Outside ball three.

1196
02:28:27,380 --> 02:28:32,380
Three balls and two strikes.

1197
02:28:32,380 --> 02:28:48,380
Royals ahead three to one and pressuring the Yankees and Mike Torres in the bottom half of the fourth inning.

1198
02:28:48,380 --> 02:28:50,380
Torres does not like the first time for much.

1199
02:28:50,380 --> 02:28:53,380
Now he's ready and the three to pitch.

1200
02:28:53,380 --> 02:28:55,380
Swung on top of the nettles at third base.

1201
02:28:55,380 --> 02:28:56,380
He's got it.

1202
02:28:56,380 --> 02:29:00,380
Long for the first test in time and the side has retired.

1203
02:29:00,380 --> 02:29:02,380
Potec bounces on five to three.

1204
02:29:02,380 --> 02:29:04,380
No run to face it and the man left.

1205
02:29:04,380 --> 02:29:09,380
At the end of four the Royals three the Yankees one.

1206
02:29:09,380 --> 02:29:15,380
Gentlemen it is a great pleasure to introduce the new lightweight beer champion of the world.

1207
02:29:15,380 --> 02:29:18,380
Langold extra light beer.

1208
02:29:18,380 --> 02:29:24,380
Langold extra light beer is much less chilling round after round yet robust and full body.

1209
02:29:24,380 --> 02:29:26,380
He tried his new premium light beer.

1210
02:29:26,380 --> 02:29:29,380
It's brewed by Langold the originator of low calorie beer.

1211
02:29:29,380 --> 02:29:32,380
Langold extra light as a winner.

1212
02:29:32,380 --> 02:29:35,380
It's the lightweight beer champion of the world.

1213
02:29:35,380 --> 02:29:38,380
Langold Brewery's Orange New Jersey.

1214
02:29:38,380 --> 02:29:45,380
For nearly a hundred years HFC has tried to bring you the best service possible.

1215
02:29:45,380 --> 02:29:52,380
And if there's ever any way we can improve ourselves just let us know HFC an equal opportunity lender.

1216
02:29:52,380 --> 02:29:59,380
Oh come on in come on in come on in come on in HFC.

1217
02:29:59,380 --> 02:30:03,380
Household finance where people use our money to get the most out of life.

1218
02:30:03,380 --> 02:30:07,380
Come on in to HFC.

1219
02:30:07,380 --> 02:30:18,380
Oh Mike Torres pitched himself out of trouble in the bottom of the fourth and we're going to the top half of the fifth inning at Royal Stadium.

1220
02:30:18,380 --> 02:30:25,380
But the Royals leading the Yankees by score three to one and Fucky Dent will lead off against Paul Splitdoor.

1221
02:30:25,380 --> 02:30:36,380
Dent's been up one time against Splitdoor but this ball game fly to right field so he's 0 for one two for twelve in the series.

1222
02:30:36,380 --> 02:30:50,380
Those two base hits have been productive he's driven into runs.

1223
02:30:50,380 --> 02:31:02,380
It'll be Bucky Dent Mickey Rivers and then Willie Randolph against Paul Splitdoor here in the top of the fifth left handers first pitches line base at Centerfield for Bucky Dent.

1224
02:31:02,380 --> 02:31:13,380
Over quickly Amazotus and right away Doug Bird gets up in the Kansas City bullpen and the right hander will start throwing.

1225
02:31:13,380 --> 02:31:20,380
The matter now is Mickey Rivers who was struck out and single up the middle stolen a base and scored the Yankee run.

1226
02:31:20,380 --> 02:31:23,380
Driven in by Thurman Mutson in the third inning.

1227
02:31:23,380 --> 02:31:32,380
Mickey's having a fine series eight base hits in 20 times up.

1228
02:31:32,380 --> 02:31:34,380
Brett closes in a third base for Rivers.

1229
02:31:34,380 --> 02:31:41,380
Woffin has to hold a dent at first base as Splitdoor sets and a pitch.

1230
02:31:41,380 --> 02:31:50,380
Paul Stroud.

1231
02:31:50,380 --> 02:31:54,380
Doug Bird right hander throwing for the Royals near bullpen.

1232
02:31:54,380 --> 02:31:58,380
Splitdoor set the belt and the old one pitched to Rivers.

1233
02:31:58,380 --> 02:32:00,380
Swung on a high bouncer toward first base.

1234
02:32:00,380 --> 02:32:02,380
Splitdoor has it underhand.

1235
02:32:02,380 --> 02:32:06,380
Woffin and they just get Rivers at first base.

1236
02:32:06,380 --> 02:32:10,380
Black Rivers might have stepped on Woffin's foot.

1237
02:32:10,380 --> 02:32:13,380
Moving into second base is Bucky Dent.

1238
02:32:13,380 --> 02:32:23,380
He put out one to three. One away Dent now down at second base and the batter is Willie Randolph.

1239
02:32:23,380 --> 02:32:27,380
Randolph has bounced a short walk in the ball game so far he's over one.

1240
02:32:27,380 --> 02:32:33,380
Splitdoor has been throwing Randolph a lot of curve balls.

1241
02:32:33,380 --> 02:32:37,380
Paul's breaking down and in on Willie Randolph.

1242
02:32:37,380 --> 02:32:44,380
Wynn still blowing toward left here at Royal Stadium. Not hard.

1243
02:32:44,380 --> 02:32:47,380
Not like it blew out toward right yesterday.

1244
02:32:47,380 --> 02:32:49,380
Pitch to Randolph.

1245
02:32:49,380 --> 02:32:53,380
Curve ball is low ball one.

1246
02:32:53,380 --> 02:32:55,380
Royals have three runs on seven base hits.

1247
02:32:55,380 --> 02:33:01,380
The Yankees one run on five base hits playing the fifth inning.

1248
02:33:01,380 --> 02:33:05,380
Splitdoor sets the 1-0 to Randolph.

1249
02:33:05,380 --> 02:33:08,380
Curve ball bounced a short. Potec is there.

1250
02:33:08,380 --> 02:33:10,380
Gobbles it up throws on the first.

1251
02:33:10,380 --> 02:33:12,380
They've got Randolph.

1252
02:33:12,380 --> 02:33:18,380
Dent had to hold at second base.

1253
02:33:18,380 --> 02:33:21,380
Two outs.

1254
02:33:21,380 --> 02:33:27,380
And the batter is Thurman Mutson.

1255
02:33:27,380 --> 02:33:32,380
And this is going to be a conference between home plate and the pitchers mound between Paul Splitdoor

1256
02:33:32,380 --> 02:33:37,380
and his catcher Darrell Porter. Mutson drove in the Yankee round the only run scored by the Yankees

1257
02:33:37,380 --> 02:33:43,380
in this ball game in the third inning with a single to right field.

1258
02:33:43,380 --> 02:33:47,380
Thurman's fifth run batted into the series and his sixth base hit.

1259
02:33:47,380 --> 02:33:50,380
He's six for 18.

1260
02:33:50,380 --> 02:33:58,380
And as usual Mutson wants to look at the baseball.

1261
02:33:58,380 --> 02:34:09,380
On the air Thurman batted 308 for the Yankees at 18 home runs and drove in 100 runs.

1262
02:34:09,380 --> 02:34:19,380
Two outs. Dent down at second.

1263
02:34:19,380 --> 02:34:24,380
Mutson taking plenty of time getting set in the batter's box.

1264
02:34:24,380 --> 02:34:31,380
Now he's ready. And Splitdoor sets the pitch to Mutson.

1265
02:34:31,380 --> 02:34:35,380
He checks his wing takes it down low ball one.

1266
02:34:35,380 --> 02:34:38,380
The umpires for this ball game Nick Brimigan is behind the plate.

1267
02:34:38,380 --> 02:34:43,380
Bill Deegan at first Jerry Newdecker at second and Marty Spring said a third base.

1268
02:34:43,380 --> 02:34:52,380
Russ gets down the left field foul line and Jim McKean down the right field foul line.

1269
02:34:52,380 --> 02:34:55,380
Dent with a short lead off second base.

1270
02:34:55,380 --> 02:34:58,380
Now he takes another step. The one over to Mutson.

1271
02:34:58,380 --> 02:35:01,380
Thurman hit on the ground the second base. Frank White digs it out.

1272
02:35:01,380 --> 02:35:05,380
Thurman's on the first to get Mutson and the side is retired.

1273
02:35:05,380 --> 02:35:09,380
The run's on one base hit and a man left on base.

1274
02:35:09,380 --> 02:35:14,380
At the end of four and a half innings of play. The Royals three, the Yankees one.

1275
02:35:14,380 --> 02:35:19,380
If you were to rate the importance of athletes put on a scale of one to ten what would you give it?

1276
02:35:19,380 --> 02:35:22,380
How about a two? Let's face it's a dumb disease.

1277
02:35:22,380 --> 02:35:27,380
Well we make Desinex and what do we mean when we say don't blame Desinex? Simple.

1278
02:35:27,380 --> 02:35:30,380
A lot of you are still suffering the itching and soreness of athletes foot.

1279
02:35:30,380 --> 02:35:33,380
Desinex has helped millions get rid of it fast.

1280
02:35:33,380 --> 02:35:40,380
So if you're doing sneakers and socks instead of running the sand through your toes then maybe this message is very important.

1281
02:35:40,380 --> 02:35:45,380
Athletes foot, don't blame Desinex. A product of Penwald Corporation.

1282
02:35:45,380 --> 02:35:50,380
The guys out on the field aren't the only ones that get Jock Itch. Any guy can get it.

1283
02:35:50,380 --> 02:35:58,380
Even a popcorn vendor like me. But I don't put up with it. I use Crux Medicated Powder.

1284
02:35:58,380 --> 02:36:03,380
Crux goes to work immediately to help relieve the itching, chafing and rash.

1285
02:36:03,380 --> 02:36:06,380
And its special medication helps fight the causes of Jock Itch.

1286
02:36:06,380 --> 02:36:10,380
Don't put up with Jock Itch. Get Crux.

1287
02:36:10,380 --> 02:36:16,380
C-R-U-E-X. It made a fan out of me.

1288
02:36:16,380 --> 02:36:18,380
Say Frank, what's another word for action?

1289
02:36:18,380 --> 02:36:19,380
Yoo-hoo. Yoo-hoo?

1290
02:36:19,380 --> 02:36:21,380
Right Phil, Yoo-hoo chocolate drink.

1291
02:36:21,380 --> 02:36:22,380
Why is that?

1292
02:36:22,380 --> 02:36:27,380
Because Yoo-hoo not only has the best chocolate taste of any soft drink but it also contains high quality protein.

1293
02:36:27,380 --> 02:36:28,380
And?

1294
02:36:28,380 --> 02:36:35,380
And it's made from 99% fat free milk. Yoo-hoo keeps your action going. That's why it's Yogi's favorite drink.

1295
02:36:35,380 --> 02:36:38,380
Yoo-hoo is the action drink for action people.

1296
02:36:38,380 --> 02:36:42,380
Right. The chocolate drink of champions. Join me in a Yoo-hoo?

1297
02:36:42,380 --> 02:36:43,380
I'll drink to that.

1298
02:36:43,380 --> 02:36:47,380
Drink Yoo-hoo. Another fine product from Iroquois Brands.

1299
02:36:47,380 --> 02:36:57,380
Bottom of the fifth and the Royals will send in Hal McRae, George Breton and then Al Cowan against Mike Torres.

1300
02:36:57,380 --> 02:37:00,380
Torres has pitched strong baseball so far.

1301
02:37:00,380 --> 02:37:16,380
He's faced six men, struck out three of them.

1302
02:37:16,380 --> 02:37:20,380
McRae is two for two in the ballgame, a single and a double and he scored two runs.

1303
02:37:20,380 --> 02:37:26,380
He now has seven base hits and 16 times at bat against the Yankees in the series.

1304
02:37:26,380 --> 02:37:35,380
Torres deals high ball one.

1305
02:37:35,380 --> 02:37:40,380
Mike right back, fastball lined and grabbed by Willi Randolph.

1306
02:37:40,380 --> 02:37:44,380
Well even when they get McRae out he hits the ball hard.

1307
02:37:44,380 --> 02:37:51,380
McRae lining the Yankees second base with Willi Randolph for the first down in the bottom of the fifth.

1308
02:37:51,380 --> 02:37:57,380
The batter now is George Breton, the third base. He's tripled in a run, scored a run and also bounced the first.

1309
02:37:57,380 --> 02:38:03,380
Breton's one for two in the ballgame.

1310
02:38:03,380 --> 02:38:12,380
Left-handed hitter takes high and away, ball one.

1311
02:38:12,380 --> 02:38:17,380
Torres winds and the 1-0 pitch. High and away again, two balls, no strikes.

1312
02:38:17,380 --> 02:38:24,380
Torres gone a pitch, Bret away and high to try to get the fly ball.

1313
02:38:24,380 --> 02:38:30,380
Two-0 pitch, a pen and back to him out of there, three balls and no strikes.

1314
02:38:30,380 --> 02:38:37,380
Standing on deck is Al Cowan, the right fielder.

1315
02:38:37,380 --> 02:38:45,380
Three-0 pitch to Bret. He backs away from fastball up and in, ball four.

1316
02:38:45,380 --> 02:38:53,380
So Bret walks on four pitches and that'll bring on Al Cowan.

1317
02:38:53,380 --> 02:38:59,380
Cowan's has driven in two runs in this ballgame with a bounce out and a single.

1318
02:38:59,380 --> 02:39:03,380
He has a total of five in the series.

1319
02:39:03,380 --> 02:39:11,380
Four base hits, 17 times that bad against the Yankees.

1320
02:39:11,380 --> 02:39:17,380
Yankees straighten up for Cowan, claims straight away and field back looking for two.

1321
02:39:17,380 --> 02:39:22,380
There goes Bret, pitches high, throw the second and he put it on Bret for the out.

1322
02:39:22,380 --> 02:39:27,380
Willie Rand putting the tag on George Bret, good throw from Munson.

1323
02:39:27,380 --> 02:39:32,380
So Bret has cut down two to four, two outs.

1324
02:39:32,380 --> 02:39:40,380
The pitch was a strike on Al Cowan.

1325
02:39:40,380 --> 02:39:47,380
The Royals have now stolen four bases and they've been caught three times in the series.

1326
02:39:47,380 --> 02:39:54,380
Yankees are two for two against Royal Catching and that's of course Darrell Porter.

1327
02:39:54,380 --> 02:39:58,380
The one strike pitch to Cowan, breaking ball outside, one and one.

1328
02:39:58,380 --> 02:40:05,380
Missed with a slider high.

1329
02:40:05,380 --> 02:40:10,380
Torres Wines and the one-one pitch, fastball is high two and one.

1330
02:40:10,380 --> 02:40:18,380
Yankees in the sixth inning will have Finella, Cliff Johnson and Greg Nettles against Paul Splittor.

1331
02:40:18,380 --> 02:40:26,380
Royals ahead three to one, fifth inning.

1332
02:40:26,380 --> 02:40:28,380
Here's a two-one pitch to Cowan.

1333
02:40:28,380 --> 02:40:34,380
Swung on, foul tipped held by Munson it's two and two.

1334
02:40:34,380 --> 02:40:39,380
The Royals pushing Al Cowan for the most valuable player award.

1335
02:40:39,380 --> 02:40:51,380
Of course the writers have already voted on that award so whatever Cowan's or Rivers or Munson or Jackson or Nettles doing this series doesn't count.

1336
02:40:51,380 --> 02:40:53,380
Foul back.

1337
02:40:53,380 --> 02:41:03,380
The writers supposedly have already made their decision.

1338
02:41:03,380 --> 02:41:09,380
Two and two on Cowan's.

1339
02:41:09,380 --> 02:41:14,380
Royce Rod-Carrou's name has been mentioned also in the most valuable player award.

1340
02:41:14,380 --> 02:41:19,380
Goating.

1341
02:41:19,380 --> 02:41:24,380
Jim Rice from the Boston Red Sox, Butch Hopson.

1342
02:41:24,380 --> 02:41:26,380
Two-two pitch.

1343
02:41:26,380 --> 02:41:32,380
Slow bouncer, pass and knocked down Victor Pone and save at first base.

1344
02:41:32,380 --> 02:41:34,380
Paul was just out over the head of Torres.

1345
02:41:34,380 --> 02:41:41,380
Willie Randolph went in and grabbed the ball, threw it to Chambliss and Cowan's is called safe at first base.

1346
02:41:41,380 --> 02:41:46,380
Billy Martin now out arguing.

1347
02:41:46,380 --> 02:41:52,380
Al Cowan picks up his second infield hit.

1348
02:41:52,380 --> 02:41:58,380
Paul just got over the glove of Mike Torres going toward Randolph at second base.

1349
02:41:58,380 --> 02:42:04,380
Willie scooped the ball, threw it the same motion and Cowan's was called safe.

1350
02:42:04,380 --> 02:42:08,380
Martin still arguing with first base umpire Bill Deegan.

1351
02:42:08,380 --> 02:42:16,380
Chambliss had bumped Deegan a bit and so had Mike Torres.

1352
02:42:16,380 --> 02:42:22,380
So Cowan's on at first base, two outs.

1353
02:42:22,380 --> 02:42:41,380
And when Martin finishes arguing with Bill Deegan, Amos Otis will be the batter.

1354
02:42:41,380 --> 02:42:49,380
So Martin jogs back to the Yankee dugout and on the way as a few words for the home plate umpire Nick Premigan.

1355
02:42:49,380 --> 02:43:07,380
And the first inning struck out in the third.

1356
02:43:07,380 --> 02:43:10,380
Two men out.

1357
02:43:10,380 --> 02:43:15,380
Royals leading three to one.

1358
02:43:15,380 --> 02:43:18,380
Yankees play Otis straight away.

1359
02:43:18,380 --> 02:43:22,380
Mike Torres at the belt and the pitch swung on and missed.

1360
02:43:22,380 --> 02:43:26,380
No balls in one strike.

1361
02:43:26,380 --> 02:43:37,380
Whitey Herzog does not normally use Amos Otis against Mike Torres or against Bert Bleilever or Nolan Ryan.

1362
02:43:37,380 --> 02:43:39,380
One strike pitch, swung on, bounced up the middle.

1363
02:43:39,380 --> 02:43:45,380
It might go through the Randolph is there, throw the first, scooped up by Chambliss and have got Otis.

1364
02:43:45,380 --> 02:43:49,380
Played by Chris Chambliss. No runs, one head, no errors.

1365
02:43:49,380 --> 02:43:51,380
One man left on base.

1366
02:43:51,380 --> 02:43:53,380
At the end of five, the score.

1367
02:43:53,380 --> 02:43:56,380
The Royals three, the Yankees one.

1368
02:43:56,380 --> 02:44:00,380
In 1915, the owner of Nicarbaca beer bought the Yankees.

1369
02:44:00,380 --> 02:44:06,380
He opened Yankee Stadium, foot roof, Garreg, DiMaggio and pinstripes and Yankee history was made.

1370
02:44:06,380 --> 02:44:08,380
This was a man with a natural instinct for the best.

1371
02:44:08,380 --> 02:44:11,380
You can taste it in Nicarbaca natural beer.

1372
02:44:11,380 --> 02:44:16,380
We say Nicarbaca natural.

1373
02:44:16,380 --> 02:44:20,380
Nothing should come between you and your beer.

1374
02:44:20,380 --> 02:44:26,380
Two great traditions, the Yankees and Nicarbaca from one great man, Jacob Rupert, ain't Orange, New Jersey.

1375
02:44:26,380 --> 02:44:42,380
Fill her up, fill her up, fill her up with Chambliss.

1376
02:44:42,380 --> 02:44:46,380
In case you haven't looked at a calendar lately,

1377
02:44:46,380 --> 02:44:49,380
Witte's going to be honest before you know it for once.

1378
02:44:49,380 --> 02:44:53,380
And the colder it gets, the hotter it gets via car to start up every morning.

1379
02:44:53,380 --> 02:44:56,380
That's where a fresh set of Champion Squawk Floods comes in.

1380
02:44:56,380 --> 02:44:59,380
Because the fresher your club, the shirrier your stars.

1381
02:44:59,380 --> 02:45:03,380
So this winter, don't let your old Squawk Floods leave you in the cold.

1382
02:45:03,380 --> 02:45:08,380
Fill her up with Chambliss, World's number one seller.

1383
02:45:08,380 --> 02:45:16,380
Fill her up, fill her up, fill her up with Chambliss.

1384
02:45:16,380 --> 02:45:20,380
Pull off the old, plug in the new.

1385
02:45:20,380 --> 02:45:26,380
Fill her up with Chambliss.

1386
02:45:26,380 --> 02:45:29,380
Now, Lou Pinello will lead off the Yankees in the sixth inning.

1387
02:45:29,380 --> 02:45:31,380
Royals lead three to one.

1388
02:45:31,380 --> 02:45:33,380
Royals have three runs on eight bases.

1389
02:45:33,380 --> 02:45:39,380
The Yankees one run on five.

1390
02:45:39,380 --> 02:45:42,380
Waiting off the Yankees, the last spieler.

1391
02:45:42,380 --> 02:45:46,380
Lou Pinello's had a fine series, not only with the bat but with the glove.

1392
02:45:46,380 --> 02:45:48,380
He's really done a pretty good job.

1393
02:45:48,380 --> 02:45:51,380
Doubled in the second inning but was left stranded.

1394
02:45:51,380 --> 02:45:53,380
Bounced the third in the third.

1395
02:45:53,380 --> 02:45:56,380
So Pinello's one for two in this ball game.

1396
02:45:56,380 --> 02:46:00,380
Six for 18 in the series with two runs bad at it.

1397
02:46:00,380 --> 02:46:19,380
It'll be Lou Pinello, Cliff Johnson and then Greg Nettles against Paul Splittor in the sixth inning.

1398
02:46:19,380 --> 02:46:21,380
Here's Splittor's first pitch to Pinello.

1399
02:46:21,380 --> 02:46:29,380
Swung on and fouled back.

1400
02:46:29,380 --> 02:46:35,380
The Yankees and the Royals fighting for the right to face the Los Angeles Dodgers.

1401
02:46:35,380 --> 02:46:37,380
And the World Championship.

1402
02:46:37,380 --> 02:46:41,380
It will start on Tuesday in the American League City.

1403
02:46:41,380 --> 02:46:53,380
Two games in the American League City then back out to the nice league city Los Angeles for three.

1404
02:46:53,380 --> 02:46:55,380
And the final two if necessary.

1405
02:46:55,380 --> 02:46:57,380
Back at the American League City.

1406
02:46:57,380 --> 02:46:59,380
Two strike pitch now.

1407
02:46:59,380 --> 02:47:03,380
Swung on and fouled back.

1408
02:47:03,380 --> 02:47:06,380
0-2.

1409
02:47:06,380 --> 02:47:15,380
Pinello uncharacteristically trying to hit a home run.

1410
02:47:15,380 --> 02:47:17,380
Here's a two strike pitch to Pinello.

1411
02:47:17,380 --> 02:47:18,380
Inside.

1412
02:47:18,380 --> 02:47:23,380
Splittor one ball two strikes.

1413
02:47:23,380 --> 02:47:28,380
And the Yankees are going to be a little bit more aggressive.

1414
02:47:28,380 --> 02:47:31,380
Here's a one two to Pinello.

1415
02:47:31,380 --> 02:47:33,380
Swung on it in the air to right field.

1416
02:47:33,380 --> 02:47:34,380
Cowan's going back.

1417
02:47:34,380 --> 02:47:35,380
He's got plenty of time.

1418
02:47:35,380 --> 02:47:36,380
Back fiddling.

1419
02:47:36,380 --> 02:47:42,380
And he makes the catch.

1420
02:47:42,380 --> 02:47:46,380
One away.

1421
02:47:46,380 --> 02:47:48,380
That'll bring on the designated hitter for the Yankees.

1422
02:47:48,380 --> 02:47:50,380
Cliff Johnson.

1423
02:47:50,380 --> 02:47:54,380
Johnson has applied to right field and double.

1424
02:47:54,380 --> 02:47:56,380
Double on top of the wall in left field.

1425
02:47:56,380 --> 02:47:57,380
The ball hit on top of the wall.

1426
02:47:57,380 --> 02:47:59,380
Bounced up against a mesh railing.

1427
02:47:59,380 --> 02:48:03,380
And came back on the field.

1428
02:48:03,380 --> 02:48:06,380
Johnson one for two in the ball game.

1429
02:48:06,380 --> 02:48:10,380
Six for fifteen in the series.

1430
02:48:10,380 --> 02:48:21,380
Pitch to Johnson outside ball one.

1431
02:48:21,380 --> 02:48:25,380
Splittor winds and the one oh pitch.

1432
02:48:25,380 --> 02:48:29,380
Inside a curveball two balls and no strikes.

1433
02:48:29,380 --> 02:48:35,380
Red playing deep at third base and pot tag playing Johnson to pull a shortstop and.

1434
02:48:35,380 --> 02:48:37,380
Way deep.

1435
02:48:37,380 --> 02:48:41,380
Got a step or two on what would be the outfield grass.

1436
02:48:41,380 --> 02:48:46,380
White to second baseman shading Johnson over near the bad and deep.

1437
02:48:46,380 --> 02:48:56,380
Two oh pitch curveball is high ball three on deck is Greg Nettles.

1438
02:48:56,380 --> 02:48:59,380
No action in the Royal Bullpen.

1439
02:48:59,380 --> 02:49:05,380
The Royals lead three to one in the sixth inning.

1440
02:49:05,380 --> 02:49:08,380
Splittor rocks and the three oh pitch.

1441
02:49:08,380 --> 02:49:12,380
Low ball for Johnson walks on four pitches.

1442
02:49:12,380 --> 02:49:18,380
We'll take 15 seconds for station identification on the New York Yankee home of champions radio network.

1443
02:49:18,380 --> 02:49:22,380
W. M. C. A. Strauss communications in New York.

1444
02:49:22,380 --> 02:49:24,380
This is my Alan.

1445
02:49:24,380 --> 02:49:27,380
If you have a package that has to get somewhere fast.

1446
02:49:27,380 --> 02:49:29,380
Call in the Air Force.

1447
02:49:29,380 --> 02:49:36,380
The Air Force and Air Freight.

1448
02:49:36,380 --> 02:49:38,380
Here's a pitch to Greg Nettles.

1449
02:49:38,380 --> 02:49:40,380
Wings and doesn't get a fastball.

1450
02:49:40,380 --> 02:49:42,380
No balls in the truck.

1451
02:49:42,380 --> 02:49:48,380
Time is being called by the umpire coming in from right field Jim McKean.

1452
02:49:48,380 --> 02:49:51,380
McKean cannot get anybody's attention.

1453
02:49:51,380 --> 02:49:56,380
Now he sets the splittor fan the pitch outside it's one and one.

1454
02:49:56,380 --> 02:50:00,380
Now McKean is yelling toward the second base umpire Jerry Newdecker trying to get his attention.

1455
02:50:00,380 --> 02:50:05,380
And time is finally called.

1456
02:50:05,380 --> 02:50:07,380
Object loose out in right field.

1457
02:50:07,380 --> 02:50:10,380
Some kids glove it looks like.

1458
02:50:10,380 --> 02:50:12,380
Throwing back in the seats.

1459
02:50:12,380 --> 02:50:19,380
Count is one ball and one strike on that'll say that happened with Don money on a bases load at home in Milwaukee.

1460
02:50:19,380 --> 02:50:21,380
I think it was Jim McKean with the umpire.

1461
02:50:21,380 --> 02:50:25,380
Nettles takes low two and one McKean had called time.

1462
02:50:25,380 --> 02:50:28,380
Money at a grand slam home run didn't count.

1463
02:50:28,380 --> 02:50:33,380
Had to play it over Yankees won the ball game.

1464
02:50:33,380 --> 02:50:36,380
Two balls one strike on that'll go through out.

1465
02:50:36,380 --> 02:50:46,380
Johnson on at first base the Royals leading three to one in the sixth inning.

1466
02:50:46,380 --> 02:50:48,380
Splittor sets.

1467
02:50:48,380 --> 02:50:50,380
The pitch to Nettles.

1468
02:50:50,380 --> 02:50:52,380
Swung on and missed.

1469
02:50:52,380 --> 02:51:04,380
Breaking ball it's two and two.

1470
02:51:04,380 --> 02:51:08,380
Woffin playing behind Johnson at first base two to pitch.

1471
02:51:08,380 --> 02:51:10,380
Swung on and fouled.

1472
02:51:10,380 --> 02:51:23,380
Nettles goes down swinging for the second out.

1473
02:51:23,380 --> 02:51:26,380
Going to second strike out for Paul Splittor.

1474
02:51:26,380 --> 02:51:28,380
That'll bring on Chris Chambliss.

1475
02:51:28,380 --> 02:51:30,380
The Yankee first baseman.

1476
02:51:30,380 --> 02:51:33,380
Chambliss has been up twice bounced out both times.

1477
02:51:33,380 --> 02:51:35,380
Shortstop ready pot deck.

1478
02:51:35,380 --> 02:51:39,380
Pot deck plays Chambliss will almost behind second base.

1479
02:51:39,380 --> 02:51:44,380
A lot of formation because the second base and white plays him straight away.

1480
02:51:44,380 --> 02:51:52,380
Chambliss takes the curve for a strike.

1481
02:51:52,380 --> 02:51:57,380
Chambliss won for 15 in the series so far.

1482
02:51:57,380 --> 02:51:59,380
Splittor sets.

1483
02:51:59,380 --> 02:52:07,380
The one strike pitch outside a curve ball it's one and one.

1484
02:52:07,380 --> 02:52:12,380
But the last 10 days of the season Chambliss started into a mini slump.

1485
02:52:12,380 --> 02:52:16,380
Lost his timing and it's carried over into the series.

1486
02:52:16,380 --> 02:52:18,380
The one one pitch.

1487
02:52:18,380 --> 02:52:22,380
Swung on it on the ground the second Frank White digs it out he'll play at the first base.

1488
02:52:22,380 --> 02:52:25,380
And the side is retired.

1489
02:52:25,380 --> 02:52:28,380
No run. No hit to walk and a man left on base.

1490
02:52:28,380 --> 02:52:30,380
We're going to the bottom of the sixth.

1491
02:52:30,380 --> 02:52:33,380
The Royal Three. The Yankee one.

1492
02:52:33,380 --> 02:52:39,380
The Wreckle helps you do it better do it better with the Wreckle.

1493
02:52:39,380 --> 02:52:50,380
Wreckle has it all all the wall coverings hardware plumbing and paint all the linens and carpeting all the power tools building materials and accessories you need to do it yourself.

1494
02:52:50,380 --> 02:52:57,380
All the energy savers to to lower your home fuel bills come in to Wreckle for quality value and selection they have it all.

1495
02:52:57,380 --> 02:53:03,380
Wreckle helps you do it better do it better with the Wreckle.

1496
02:53:03,380 --> 02:53:06,380
Eat too much drink too much.

1497
02:53:06,380 --> 02:53:08,380
Take brioche.

1498
02:53:08,380 --> 02:53:17,380
You remember that jingle millions of men and women remember because that jingle means brioche and brioche has meant fast effective relief to millions for almost 100 years.

1499
02:53:17,380 --> 02:53:19,380
That's product integrity.

1500
02:53:19,380 --> 02:53:23,380
We believe that a manufacturer should stand behind his product don't you.

1501
02:53:23,380 --> 02:53:29,380
Then let me ask you has any company ever offered you double your money back on an ant acid liquid tablet or seltzer.

1502
02:53:29,380 --> 02:53:36,380
Because we know that brioche will give you the fast relief you want when you suffer from heartburn acid indigestion or sour stomach.

1503
02:53:36,380 --> 02:53:44,380
We make the brioche consumer pledge simply stated if brioche doesn't give you the fast relief you want we'll send you double your money back.

1504
02:53:44,380 --> 02:53:53,380
So the next time you have heartburn acid indigestion or sour stomach just take pleasant lemon tasting brioche and discover what those millions before you have experienced.

1505
02:53:53,380 --> 02:54:01,380
If for any reason you don't get the fast relief we promised send us the unused portion in its original package plus sales receipt and we'll send you double your money back.

1506
02:54:01,380 --> 02:54:08,380
That's the brioche consumer pledge.

1507
02:54:08,380 --> 02:54:16,380
On the bottom of the sixth year Royals stadium the Royals lead the Yankees by a score of three to one and we're going to get a pinch at her for John Woffin.

1508
02:54:16,380 --> 02:54:34,380
Pete LeCocca left handed batter will battle off and lead off against Mike Torres and LeCocco will probably stay in the ballgame and go play first base.

1509
02:54:34,380 --> 02:54:45,380
John Mayberry who normally plays first base with the Royals had a two pull today and his job was rolling and with the pain killing the pills you had to take.

1510
02:54:45,380 --> 02:54:50,380
Of course also took him yesterday with the two then and he made an error.

1511
02:54:50,380 --> 02:54:56,380
He's not playing LeCocco takes a strike on the inside corner.

1512
02:54:56,380 --> 02:55:05,380
This is LeCocco's first appearance in the American League Championship series backs off of basketball inside one and one.

1513
02:55:05,380 --> 02:55:13,380
LeCocco gets just about everything the other way Yankee Flames straight away both in the infield and the outfield.

1514
02:55:13,380 --> 02:55:25,380
Torres winds in the one one pitch gets foul up her deck left side one ball and two strikes.

1515
02:55:25,380 --> 02:55:37,380
Royals picked up two runs against Ron Gidry in the bottom of the first Yankees picked up a run their only run in the ballgame in the top of the third Royals came back right back in the bottom third with one more.

1516
02:55:37,380 --> 02:55:42,380
That's what's the next one off down the left field line.

1517
02:55:42,380 --> 02:55:48,380
Down remains a ball and two strikes.

1518
02:55:48,380 --> 02:55:52,380
Three one Royals six minutes.

1519
02:55:52,380 --> 02:55:55,380
One two pitch.

1520
02:55:55,380 --> 02:55:58,380
And missed LeCocco goes down swinging.

1521
02:55:58,380 --> 02:56:01,380
There's one away.

1522
02:56:01,380 --> 02:56:04,380
That's the fourth strikeout from Mike Torres.

1523
02:56:04,380 --> 02:56:06,380
Torres game in the ball game in the third inning.

1524
02:56:06,380 --> 02:56:14,380
Pinch hitting or actually relieving relieving Ron Gidry.

1525
02:56:14,380 --> 02:56:18,380
Chuck out the first too many faced Otis and Woffin.

1526
02:56:18,380 --> 02:56:21,380
Here's Kokey Rojas one for two in the ball game.

1527
02:56:21,380 --> 02:56:23,380
Kokey swings and doesn't get a slider.

1528
02:56:23,380 --> 02:56:31,380
No balls in the strike.

1529
02:56:31,380 --> 02:56:36,380
Rojas the right handed batter the one strike pitch low one in one.

1530
02:56:36,380 --> 02:56:42,380
Rojas is already announced is in pitch and to retire after this season.

1531
02:56:42,380 --> 02:56:46,380
This is it for him 16 years a big league baseball.

1532
02:56:46,380 --> 02:56:57,380
One one pitch takes a strike which slide or letter high on the outside corner one and two.

1533
02:56:57,380 --> 02:57:01,380
Kokey's been around the Philadelphia Phillies has sent Snotty Reds the same

1534
02:57:01,380 --> 02:57:07,380
with Cardinals and Dodgers one to swung on bounce to short charge by dead nice hop

1535
02:57:07,380 --> 02:57:15,380
throws on the first base of God Rojas two outs.

1536
02:57:15,380 --> 02:57:20,380
That'll bring on Darrell Porter the catcher Porter is single to right center

1537
02:57:20,380 --> 02:57:25,380
and he drove Rivers all the way back to the wall and straight away center field

1538
02:57:25,380 --> 02:57:35,380
Rivers had to leave high off the wall the raw board of at least a double Darrell Porter one for two

1539
02:57:35,380 --> 02:57:44,380
Porter left handed batter on deck is Frank White Royals ahead three to one sixth inning.

1540
02:57:44,380 --> 02:57:49,380
On top of the seventh the Yankees will have Blair Denton Rivers against Paul Clitor.

1541
02:57:49,380 --> 02:57:55,380
In the air right center left center actually canella back on the warning track backing up

1542
02:57:55,380 --> 02:58:03,380
and makes the catch in deep left center field and this side has retired three up and three down at the end of sixth to score.

1543
02:58:03,380 --> 02:58:06,380

1553
02:59:05,380 --> 02:59:12,380
Sure is great being back in Yankee Stadium all the terrific new seat and all the terrific new candy counters with baby Ruth bars.

1554
02:59:12,380 --> 02:59:18,380
As a matter of fact I think I'll run down to one of those terrific new candy counters right now and get some baby roots.

1555
02:59:18,380 --> 02:59:23,380
I can just taste that rich chocolatey coating over chewy caramel fudge and peanuts.

1556
02:59:23,380 --> 02:59:28,380
Frank the reason you can just taste them is because you just ate a whole bag of fun sized baby Ruth.

1557
02:59:28,380 --> 02:59:31,380
Don't you think that's enough baby Ruth bars for anyone.

1558
02:59:31,380 --> 02:59:38,380
Well Frank Musser is not just anyone and when you've got to have one you've got to have one.

1559
02:59:38,380 --> 02:59:44,380
At the end of six inning here Royal Stadium the Royals lead the Yankees three to one they have three runs on eight base hits.

1560
02:59:44,380 --> 02:59:51,380
The Yankees one run on five against Paul Splitor and here to see if we can't do something about that to scooter Phil Rizzuto.

1561
02:59:51,380 --> 03:00:00,380
All right William Paul Blair bounce the third pops a second and at first Pete LaCotte who pinched

1562
03:00:00,380 --> 03:00:05,380
for John Watton Splitor pitch right one call.

1563
03:00:05,380 --> 03:00:14,380
I think Splitor is going harder now in the last two innings than he did through the first five innings.

1564
03:00:14,380 --> 03:00:17,380
Three to one the Royals lead.

1565
03:00:17,380 --> 03:00:23,380
Deep to left but it's going to curve foul that would have been plenty far enough to have been a home run.

1566
03:00:23,380 --> 03:00:37,380
Look at Blair he knew he just missed it boy I said he got a slider just got a little bit out in front of it way back into the left field seats.

1567
03:00:37,380 --> 03:00:47,380
Three beginnings to go for the Yankees only trail by two but they need some base runners and split off once another sign Blair steps out.

1568
03:00:47,380 --> 03:00:55,380
It'll be Blair Dent and Rivers.

1569
03:00:55,380 --> 03:01:03,380
The O2 pitch curve bounce the third Brett waits for the hop fires the first in time.

1570
03:01:03,380 --> 03:01:09,380
Good gun by George Brett at third base one away.

1571
03:01:09,380 --> 03:01:28,380
Now Bucky Dent fly the right single center.

1572
03:01:28,380 --> 03:01:43,380
Split off kicks curve down low ball one. Split off is allowed five hits walk to struck out two and just one run.

1573
03:01:43,380 --> 03:01:58,380
The pitch to Bucky that curve is in one on one.

1574
03:01:58,380 --> 03:02:19,380
The low two and one left hand a wine fastball hit in the air to right field counts is right there.

1575
03:02:19,380 --> 03:02:32,380
Now Mickey Rivers make a struck out single stolen a base and scored and bounced out.

1576
03:02:32,380 --> 03:02:34,380
Richard at first base.

1577
03:02:34,380 --> 03:02:36,380
That was a big play in the ballgame.

1578
03:02:36,380 --> 03:02:45,380
Dent had let off with a single Mickey hit a Baltimore chop that almost got over split off head.

1579
03:02:45,380 --> 03:02:49,380
To Mickey low ball one.

1580
03:02:49,380 --> 03:03:16,380
The ball with the bag at first and Brett laying in as he normally does against Rivers.

1581
03:03:16,380 --> 03:03:30,380
The one pitch foul down the left field line ball and two strikes.

1582
03:03:30,380 --> 03:03:36,380
Beautiful day here and another beautiful night.

1583
03:03:36,380 --> 03:03:40,380
The kick and the pitch ground ball at Frank White he's got it.

1584
03:03:40,380 --> 03:03:51,380
The first in time to get Rivers and the Yankees are down in order at the end of six and a half or three Yankees one.

1585
03:03:51,380 --> 03:04:11,380
I'm feeling good.

1586
03:04:11,380 --> 03:04:15,380
I'm feeling good.

1587
03:04:15,380 --> 03:04:20,380
I mean, I'll leave is really feeling good.

1588
03:04:20,380 --> 03:04:28,380
I'm not a burger that tastes as good as it looked to all be burgers packed with all the trim is taking from my Lee.

1589
03:04:28,380 --> 03:04:56,380
I know that it's the greatest next to me.

1590
03:04:56,380 --> 03:05:00,380
It has it all quality value and selection in every department.

1591
03:05:00,380 --> 03:05:12,380
Come in and check out the hardware plumbing power tools paint linens draperies housewares carpets building materials you'll save on energy savers installation caulking storms screens and more.

1592
03:05:12,380 --> 03:05:34,380
Rickles helps you do it better because they have it all.

1593
03:05:34,380 --> 03:05:42,380
All right, we're going to the bottom of the seven stands the city fans are going bananas.

1594
03:05:42,380 --> 03:05:44,380
The ball game is not over yet.

1595
03:05:44,380 --> 03:05:45,380
Right.

1596
03:05:45,380 --> 03:05:56,380
White has played the left and struck out.

1597
03:05:56,380 --> 03:06:05,380
I think a lot of people sound like me tomorrow where they've been yelling for the through these first seven innings.

1598
03:06:05,380 --> 03:06:08,380
It's the white ground ball of third nettles knocked it down.

1599
03:06:08,380 --> 03:06:11,380
They got him.

1600
03:06:11,380 --> 03:06:13,380
Oh man, that nettles really hounded that ball.

1601
03:06:13,380 --> 03:06:21,380
Beautiful play by Greg on a hard shot that bounced off his chest.

1602
03:06:21,380 --> 03:06:31,380
One away his pot deck bounce the short foul of the catcher and thrown out on a fine play by Greg nettles.

1603
03:06:31,380 --> 03:06:48,380
Pot deck has it in every game but this one in every playoff game he's participated in last year in this year ball one.

1604
03:06:48,380 --> 03:07:04,380
No pitch strike call one on one.

1605
03:07:04,380 --> 03:07:12,380
One one pitch line to right field deep player backing up and makes the catch.

1606
03:07:12,380 --> 03:07:21,380
They've held the pot deck and toe and now Hal McRae and he has been a tough out in the last couple of games.

1607
03:07:21,380 --> 03:07:31,380
He's single and scored in the first double and scored in the third and lined up to Willie Randolph.

1608
03:07:31,380 --> 03:07:34,380
Two out nobody on three to one the Royal's lead.

1609
03:07:34,380 --> 03:07:43,380
McRae tough man to defense against high ball one steps into the pitch and go to right.

1610
03:07:43,380 --> 03:07:47,380
Pull the ball as he pulled that double down the left field line.

1611
03:07:47,380 --> 03:07:50,380
Rounder in the hole base.

1612
03:07:50,380 --> 03:07:52,380
His third base hit of the ball game.

1613
03:07:52,380 --> 03:07:55,380
That'll go for a second and they got him.

1614
03:07:55,380 --> 03:08:01,380
He is out McRae trying to look at Lou Penelope saying what do you think you're playing with kids.

1615
03:08:01,380 --> 03:08:04,380
He had him up by 10 feet.

1616
03:08:04,380 --> 03:08:07,380
Good play by Penelope is really hustling.

1617
03:08:07,380 --> 03:08:13,380
He threw the ball a bucky dental was confused turned around still at plenty of time that's egg McRae.

1618
03:08:13,380 --> 03:08:15,380
No runs ahead.

1619
03:08:15,380 --> 03:08:16,380
No errors.

1620
03:08:16,380 --> 03:08:18,380
Nobody left at the end of seven.

1621
03:08:18,380 --> 03:08:24,380
It's the Royal's three and the Yankees one flavor of Venetian cuisine.

1622
03:08:24,380 --> 03:08:28,380
The satisfying taste of La Cucina's Siciliana from Palermo to Milano.

1623
03:08:28,380 --> 03:08:33,380
You can cook your way through all the delectable regional dishes of Italy with food products from Palio.

1624
03:08:33,380 --> 03:08:36,380
Smooth creamy Palio ricotta cheese.

1625
03:08:36,380 --> 03:08:41,380
Luscious fast melting Palio mozzarella from peppers to pepperoni tomatoes to macaroni.

1626
03:08:41,380 --> 03:08:50,380
Palio has a complete variety of real Italian food products all made to help you make dishes that would charm a pomin or make a Roman feel at home in.

1627
03:08:50,380 --> 03:08:53,380
Palio always in the best Italian taste.

1628
03:08:53,380 --> 03:09:01,380
Fill her up fill her up fill her up with champion.

1629
03:09:01,380 --> 03:09:06,380
We'll have the old plug in the new fill her up with champion.

1630
03:09:06,380 --> 03:09:12,380
All the problems that last winter was this one you probably forgot how hard it was to start your car everyone.

1631
03:09:12,380 --> 03:09:15,380
This winter a fresh set of champions Park plug can help.

1632
03:09:15,380 --> 03:09:20,380
While we're on the subject there's one thing that's probably going to be worse than last winter gas price.

1633
03:09:20,380 --> 03:09:25,380
Champions can help their true because fresh champions can help you make the most of every gallon.

1634
03:09:25,380 --> 03:09:30,380
So this winter is not faster go far fill her up with champion.

1635
03:09:30,380 --> 03:09:35,380
Fill her up fill her up fill her up with champion.

1636
03:09:35,380 --> 03:09:46,380
We'll have the old plug in the new fill her up with champion fill her up fill her up fill her up with champion.

1637
03:09:46,380 --> 03:09:55,380
We'll have the old plug in the new fill her up with champion.

1638
03:09:55,380 --> 03:10:04,380
All right Yankees got to get something going here they trailed three to one of the top of the eighth Willie Randolph bounce the short twice and walk.

1639
03:10:04,380 --> 03:10:10,380
Split off pitch strike on the outside corner.

1640
03:10:10,380 --> 03:10:14,380
It'll be Randolph Monson and Penella.

1641
03:10:14,380 --> 03:10:18,380
They have had only five hits or split off.

1642
03:10:18,380 --> 03:10:24,380
Curved as a base hit Willie Randolph starts off the top of the eighth with a single center.

1643
03:10:24,380 --> 03:10:28,380
And now the Yankees have the men coming up that they want.

1644
03:10:28,380 --> 03:10:31,380
Monson Penella and Johnson.

1645
03:10:31,380 --> 03:10:36,380
German has driven in the one Yankee run with a clutch two out singles.

1646
03:10:36,380 --> 03:10:39,380
Monson at his best under pressure.

1647
03:10:39,380 --> 03:10:50,380
He's robbed of a base hit and a fine play by Patek in the first single right in the third and bounce the second and the fifth and here comes Whitey Herzog.

1648
03:10:50,380 --> 03:10:59,380
Mingori and Bird Mingori the left hander and Bird the right hander are up in the bullpen.

1649
03:10:59,380 --> 03:11:07,380
Normally when Whitey Herzog comes out he makes a change but let's see.

1650
03:11:07,380 --> 03:11:13,380
The Yankees split off and Gidry were told to throw as hard as they could and go as long as they could.

1651
03:11:13,380 --> 03:11:21,380
Everybody would be ready in the bullpen.

1652
03:11:21,380 --> 03:11:24,380
And they want Doug Bird.

1653
03:11:24,380 --> 03:11:32,380
I like that I said to the last time that Whitey Herzog took out a pitcher was pitching well it cost them.

1654
03:11:32,380 --> 03:11:37,380
And now they're out and the Hasler, Warden Bird and the Yankees went on to win the ball game.

1655
03:11:37,380 --> 03:11:39,380
So let's see if history repeats.

1656
03:11:39,380 --> 03:11:44,380
Right now we'll take a quick break.

1657
03:11:44,380 --> 03:11:48,380
WMCA Strauss Communications in New York.

1658
03:11:48,380 --> 03:11:50,380

1663
03:12:16,380 --> 03:12:22,380
Well Doug Bird has come in and I said it had split off but it's another beautiful ball game.

1664
03:12:22,380 --> 03:12:27,380
He went seven innings plus one batter here in the eighth allowed six hits.

1665
03:12:27,380 --> 03:12:33,380
He walked only two, he struck out only two and has allowed just the one run so far.

1666
03:12:33,380 --> 03:12:36,380
Randolph is at first base with nobody out.

1667
03:12:36,380 --> 03:12:47,380
He will be split off responsibility and Doug Bird comes on.

1668
03:12:47,380 --> 03:12:52,380
Bird is making his third appearance of these playoffs.

1669
03:12:52,380 --> 03:12:58,380
He's only worked in inning in two-thirds allowing two hits and no runs.

1670
03:12:58,380 --> 03:13:10,380
And he'll be facing Munson, Vanilla and Johnson and we just might see Reggie Jackson is swinging a bat and a dugout come up and pinch hit for somebody.

1671
03:13:10,380 --> 03:13:18,380
I tell you that would be a fitting ending to a very unusual season if Reggie would pinch hit and hit one out.

1672
03:13:18,380 --> 03:13:22,380
That would be beautiful.

1673
03:13:22,380 --> 03:13:27,380
All right, Thurman Munson getting ready outside the batter's box.

1674
03:13:27,380 --> 03:13:37,380
Bird has completed his warm-up and as per usual Munson wants to look at that ball and Bremengan keeps it in play.

1675
03:13:37,380 --> 03:13:43,380
So Munson got one ball thrown out out of four looks.

1676
03:13:43,380 --> 03:13:46,380
Randolph at first, nobody out.

1677
03:13:46,380 --> 03:13:52,380
Yankees trailing three to one in the top of the eighth.

1678
03:13:52,380 --> 03:14:06,380
Stretched by Bird, pitched to Munson down low ball one.

1679
03:14:06,380 --> 03:14:10,380
Thurman taking plenty of time.

1680
03:14:10,380 --> 03:14:16,380
Bird to the belt, the pitch is winging in the midst.

1681
03:14:16,380 --> 03:14:22,380
One-on-one.

1682
03:14:22,380 --> 03:14:26,380
Wheatley-Cock holding first against Randolph.

1683
03:14:26,380 --> 03:14:30,380
Outfield straight away in deep on Munson.

1684
03:14:30,380 --> 03:14:40,380
Quick throw to First-Willie-Bach.

1685
03:14:40,380 --> 03:14:43,380
Bird sets and the pitch is winging in the midst.

1686
03:14:43,380 --> 03:14:47,380
Good slide of that time by Bird, one ball, two strikes.

1687
03:14:47,380 --> 03:14:52,380
Every once in a while, Doug Bird will quick pitch your batter.

1688
03:14:52,380 --> 03:14:55,380
He does not, he did it on that pitch.

1689
03:14:55,380 --> 03:14:59,380
He does not come to a complete set.

1690
03:14:59,380 --> 03:15:01,380
He struck him out.

1691
03:15:01,380 --> 03:15:06,380
He jammed Munson with a fastball.

1692
03:15:06,380 --> 03:15:11,380
Good strikeout for Doug Bird.

1693
03:15:11,380 --> 03:15:15,380
And now Lou Penella.

1694
03:15:15,380 --> 03:15:19,380
And coming out on deck is Reggie Jackson.

1695
03:15:19,380 --> 03:15:23,380
Looks like he'll bat for Cliff Johnson.

1696
03:15:23,380 --> 03:15:30,380
Penella has doubled, bounced the third and fly to right.

1697
03:15:30,380 --> 03:15:33,380
One man out in the top of the eighth.

1698
03:15:33,380 --> 03:15:48,380
Yankees trailing three to one.

1699
03:15:48,380 --> 03:15:53,380
Willie Randolph let off the inning with a base hit at first base.

1700
03:15:53,380 --> 03:16:03,380
Throw to First-Willie-Jumps-Bach.

1701
03:16:03,380 --> 03:16:07,380
Bird sets and the pitch is a base hit to center field.

1702
03:16:07,380 --> 03:16:10,380
Randolph's going to go to third base, yes he is.

1703
03:16:10,380 --> 03:16:12,380
He kind of hesitated and then went it.

1704
03:16:12,380 --> 03:16:14,380
Now the Yankees have run as at first and third.

1705
03:16:14,380 --> 03:16:19,380
And now he's going out and Reggie Jackson is coming up to bat.

1706
03:16:19,380 --> 03:16:25,380
Holy cow, wouldn't this be something?

1707
03:16:25,380 --> 03:16:29,380
Reggie Jackson who did not start tonight and took it.

1708
03:16:29,380 --> 03:16:35,380
Like a man, I said, he said he took a lot of guts by Billy Martin to make that kind of a call.

1709
03:16:35,380 --> 03:16:36,380
Take him out.

1710
03:16:36,380 --> 03:16:38,380
But he did it and he's resigned to it.

1711
03:16:38,380 --> 03:16:41,380
Now he's up as a pinch hitter.

1712
03:16:41,380 --> 03:16:55,380
Run as at first and third and the Royals leading three to one.

1713
03:16:55,380 --> 03:16:59,380
The bird gets the sign.

1714
03:16:59,380 --> 03:17:07,380
Here's the stretch and the pitch down low ball one on Dick Greg Nettles.

1715
03:17:07,380 --> 03:17:18,380
The Nellad first, Randolph at third.

1716
03:17:18,380 --> 03:17:22,380
Jackson now getting set in the box.

1717
03:17:22,380 --> 03:17:24,380
Bird sets and the pitch.

1718
03:17:24,380 --> 03:17:36,380
Power back, he had a good cut and found it back off the mask and onto the screen.

1719
03:17:36,380 --> 03:17:44,380
The bird gets the sign.

1720
03:17:44,380 --> 03:17:52,380
The pitch, power back, he had his pitch that time and just got under it.

1721
03:17:52,380 --> 03:18:01,380
One ball, two strikes.

1722
03:18:01,380 --> 03:18:06,380
Drop spot for Jackson.

1723
03:18:06,380 --> 03:18:09,380
Run as lead at the corners.

1724
03:18:09,380 --> 03:18:11,380
Bird sets.

1725
03:18:11,380 --> 03:18:13,380
There's one hit to center field, it'll get a run in.

1726
03:18:13,380 --> 03:18:15,380
Otis coming on, he can't get it.

1727
03:18:15,380 --> 03:18:17,380
It's a base hit and a run score.

1728
03:18:17,380 --> 03:18:19,380
Otis was fooled on that ball.

1729
03:18:19,380 --> 03:18:22,380
Jackson comes through with a clutch single.

1730
03:18:22,380 --> 03:18:26,380
Stopping at second pin, that was a sinking line drive that Jackson hit in.

1731
03:18:26,380 --> 03:18:29,380
Here comes Whitey Herzog.

1732
03:18:29,380 --> 03:18:33,380
I told you the last time that Herzog came out to take Andy Hesler out,

1733
03:18:33,380 --> 03:18:38,380
who was pitching a beautiful ball game, it turned around and the Yankees won it.

1734
03:18:38,380 --> 03:18:42,380
And now the Yankees right back in this ball game is three to two.

1735
03:18:42,380 --> 03:18:46,380
Run as that first and second only one out.

1736
03:18:46,380 --> 03:18:55,380
And it looks like the left hand of Mingori is coming on.

1737
03:18:55,380 --> 03:19:00,380
I said what a tough spot for Reggie Jackson and he came through it.

1738
03:19:00,380 --> 03:19:03,380
Beautiful, beautiful clutch base hit.

1739
03:19:03,380 --> 03:19:06,380
All right, Bart Lucheev, I'll give you a station break.

1740
03:19:06,380 --> 03:19:09,380
Right now, take it.

1741
03:19:09,380 --> 03:19:12,380
WMCA Strauss Communications in New York.

1742
03:19:12,380 --> 03:19:14,380
This is Mel Allen.

1743
03:19:14,380 --> 03:19:17,380
Unlike other air freight carriers,

1744
03:19:17,380 --> 03:19:24,380
Emery doesn't just go to the major cities, they also go to the minors.

1745
03:19:24,380 --> 03:19:34,380
All right, Steve Mingori has come on.

1746
03:19:34,380 --> 03:19:38,380
Greg Nettles is scheduled to be the batter.

1747
03:19:38,380 --> 03:19:41,380
Now anything can happen in a short series.

1748
03:19:41,380 --> 03:19:44,380
Billy Martin as you know, rested Reggie Jackson.

1749
03:19:44,380 --> 03:19:49,380
And now with the left hand of Mingori coming up and Nettles having his problems in this series,

1750
03:19:49,380 --> 03:19:53,380
we'll see what Billy Martin is going to do.

1751
03:19:53,380 --> 03:19:57,380
No, no, no.

1752
03:19:57,380 --> 03:19:59,380
Greg is coming out.

1753
03:19:59,380 --> 03:20:05,380
In this game, Nettles has bounced the second, fouled the third and struck out.

1754
03:20:05,380 --> 03:20:12,380
But Nettles has come through with so many clutch bases all year.

1755
03:20:12,380 --> 03:20:19,380
Yankees have Penella at second, Jackson at first,

1756
03:20:19,380 --> 03:20:26,380
and Greg Nettles will be the batter.

1757
03:20:26,380 --> 03:20:31,380
Three to two, the Royals are leading only one out.

1758
03:20:31,380 --> 03:20:35,380
Yankees have had three bases here in the eighth inning.

1759
03:20:35,380 --> 03:20:42,380
One off split off, two off bird.

1760
03:20:42,380 --> 03:20:46,380
And Nettles now will really have to guard that plate.

1761
03:20:46,380 --> 03:20:50,380
Just dunk that ball, hit one off the end or break the bat,

1762
03:20:50,380 --> 03:20:54,380
get one over the infield, who'll take anything.

1763
03:20:54,380 --> 03:20:58,380
Or a home run, yeah, that wouldn't be bad.

1764
03:20:58,380 --> 03:21:02,380
All right, Jackson off first, Penella off second.

1765
03:21:02,380 --> 03:21:08,380
One man out of the Royals leading three to two in the top of the eighth.

1766
03:21:08,380 --> 03:21:10,380
Stretch by Mingori.

1767
03:21:10,380 --> 03:21:12,380
The curve almost hits Nettles.

1768
03:21:12,380 --> 03:21:17,380
So Greg tried to get hit with that one, just missed his right shoulder.

1769
03:21:17,380 --> 03:21:24,380
Mark Littel is up in the Royals bullpen and on deck is Chris Chambliss.

1770
03:21:24,380 --> 03:21:26,380
That bring back memories.

1771
03:21:26,380 --> 03:21:31,380
The kick and the pitch popped up, but it's going to go in the stands out of play.

1772
03:21:31,380 --> 03:21:41,380
LeCocque looking at it, it goes back over the Royals, dug out, it's one-on-one.

1773
03:21:41,380 --> 03:21:48,380
LeCocque goes to the Rosin bag.

1774
03:21:48,380 --> 03:21:51,380
Jackson leads off first, Penella off second.

1775
03:21:51,380 --> 03:21:57,380
Luth got to get a pretty good jump because they sit best and good throwing outfield,

1776
03:21:57,380 --> 03:22:00,380
swing and a miss at a side-on curve.

1777
03:22:00,380 --> 03:22:04,380
Greg really fooled with that pitch.

1778
03:22:04,380 --> 03:22:15,380
It's one ball, two strikes.

1779
03:22:15,380 --> 03:22:22,380
And I mean, Gori looks in for the sign, comes to the belt and the pitch.

1780
03:22:22,380 --> 03:22:25,380
Deep to right field, but Cowan's is back there.

1781
03:22:25,380 --> 03:22:29,380
Penella did not tag, now he goes back, it's too late.

1782
03:22:29,380 --> 03:22:35,380
Penella put a tag and easily gone a third as that full-fault Cowan's center back to the

1783
03:22:35,380 --> 03:22:42,380
warning track in front of the bullpen in deep right field.

1784
03:22:42,380 --> 03:22:48,380
And now Chris Chambliss.

1785
03:22:48,380 --> 03:22:52,380
Boy, I'd said if Nettles got under that another eighth of an inch,

1786
03:22:52,380 --> 03:22:56,380
and that would have been way back in the bullpen.

1787
03:22:56,380 --> 03:23:02,380
And now Chris Chambliss, Chris is really overdue.

1788
03:23:02,380 --> 03:23:06,380
And I would just love to see him stroke one of the opposite field.

1789
03:23:06,380 --> 03:23:13,380
He has had one hit in 16 at bats in his playoff series,

1790
03:23:13,380 --> 03:23:16,380
looking for his first run batted in.

1791
03:23:16,380 --> 03:23:19,380
And what a play by Frank White.

1792
03:23:19,380 --> 03:23:22,380
He throws the second.

1793
03:23:22,380 --> 03:23:25,380
He's toppled that ball.

1794
03:23:25,380 --> 03:23:31,380
And the Jackson is arguing, Potsack has hurt as Jackson went into him hard.

1795
03:23:31,380 --> 03:23:38,380
It looked like Potsack bobbled that ball, but a great play by Frank White as he dove to his right.

1796
03:23:38,380 --> 03:23:44,380
Smothered the ball on a short hop and flipped to Potsack for the out.

1797
03:23:44,380 --> 03:23:50,380
And Potsack is down as Jackson went into him hard.

1798
03:23:50,380 --> 03:23:55,380
And it really looked like Potsack had bobbled the ball, but the umpire called him out.

1799
03:23:55,380 --> 03:23:59,380
That has to be the clutch play of the series right there.

1800
03:23:59,380 --> 03:24:03,380
Frank White, unbelievable diving backhand grab,

1801
03:24:03,380 --> 03:24:10,380
and then flipped to Potsack for the fourth play on Jackson.

1802
03:24:10,380 --> 03:24:13,380
Remenders play by Frank White.

1803
03:24:13,380 --> 03:24:15,380
Chris Chambliss just can't believe it.

1804
03:24:15,380 --> 03:24:19,380
He hit that ball as hard as he could hit it.

1805
03:24:19,380 --> 03:24:23,380
Potsack now up, and he's being helped off the field.

1806
03:24:23,380 --> 03:24:29,380
Yankees pick up a run, three hits, no errors, two men left.

1807
03:24:29,380 --> 03:24:35,380
Big hand for Potsack, and now at the end of 7 1 1 1 1,

1808
03:24:35,380 --> 03:24:38,380
innings is the Royal 3 and the Yankees 2.

1809
03:24:38,380 --> 03:24:42,380
Next time you have an appetite for fine steak and seafood,

1810
03:24:42,380 --> 03:24:48,380
go directly to Ponteys at Des Brasses and West Street, here in New York, and Cart Blanchett.

1811
03:24:48,380 --> 03:24:52,380
Ponteys is one of many fine restaurants in New York,

1812
03:24:52,380 --> 03:24:56,380
where your Cart Blanchet card will allow you to spoil and dudge

1813
03:24:56,380 --> 03:25:00,380
and treat yourself to the kind of food nobody can make at home.

1814
03:25:00,380 --> 03:25:03,380
Dinner always tastes a little bit better when you have it with style,

1815
03:25:03,380 --> 03:25:05,380
with your Cart Blanchet card,

1816
03:25:05,380 --> 03:25:11,380
because people know Cart Blanch denotes more than an average measure of distinction and taste.

1817
03:25:11,380 --> 03:25:15,380
With a Cart Blanchet card, you can travel with style, too.

1818
03:25:15,380 --> 03:25:21,380
You can Cart Blanch your airline tickets, Cart Blanch your rented car, Cart Blanch your hotel bill,

1819
03:25:21,380 --> 03:25:25,380
and even Cart Blanch a vacation tour through Cart Ann Tours.

1820
03:25:25,380 --> 03:25:28,380
Keep your card with you wherever you go,

1821
03:25:28,380 --> 03:25:34,380
and Cart Blanch your way through over 250,000 doors across the country, including Ponteys.

1822
03:25:34,380 --> 03:25:39,380
Cart Blanchet, you'll know you're going first class, and so will everyone else.

1823
03:25:39,380 --> 03:25:48,380
Alright, we're going into the bottom of the eighth inning on a disputed call at second base.

1824
03:25:48,380 --> 03:25:53,380
When it really looked like Potec had bobbled the ball as Jackson hit him hard,

1825
03:25:53,380 --> 03:26:00,380
it's the Royals three, the Yankees two,

1826
03:26:00,380 --> 03:26:03,380
and George Brett will lead it off.

1827
03:26:03,380 --> 03:26:09,380
He has dribbled, driven in a run and scored, bounced the first and won.

1828
03:26:09,380 --> 03:26:15,380
Mike Charest's first pitch is a curved low ball one.

1829
03:26:15,380 --> 03:26:20,380
Look ahead to the top of the ninth schedule, batters, Blair, Dent,

1830
03:26:20,380 --> 03:26:37,380
and Rivers is a foul out of play, one-on-one.

1831
03:26:37,380 --> 03:26:47,380
Next pitch, a bouncing ball is shot, Dent has it, fires the first one away.

1832
03:26:47,380 --> 03:26:54,380
That'll bring up Al Cowan, who has bounced the third single a left at an infield hit.

1833
03:26:54,380 --> 03:27:03,380
He's driven in two runs tonight, going right down to the wire.

1834
03:27:03,380 --> 03:27:07,380
This final game of the playoffs to see who gets in the World Series,

1835
03:27:07,380 --> 03:27:12,380
and it's not over yet by a long shot.

1836
03:27:12,380 --> 03:27:18,380
The Royals scored two in the first, with alert defensive play, they would not have scored any,

1837
03:27:18,380 --> 03:27:24,380
they scored one in the third, Yankees picked up one in the third, one in the eighth.

1838
03:27:24,380 --> 03:27:35,380
Pitch to Cowan's low ball one.

1839
03:27:35,380 --> 03:27:41,380
The kick and the pitch strike call one-on-one, Cowan took it, but it hit the outside corner.

1840
03:27:41,380 --> 03:27:51,380
And on deck, Amos Otis.

1841
03:27:51,380 --> 03:27:59,380
Cowan's got three hits in the first game, then the Yankees held him hitless until his second time up tonight.

1842
03:27:59,380 --> 03:28:03,380
Line drive left center, Rivers digging and makes the catch.

1843
03:28:03,380 --> 03:28:07,380
Man was that ball tag, that looked like a base hit that just took off.

1844
03:28:07,380 --> 03:28:12,380
Mickey Rivers made the play two out.

1845
03:28:12,380 --> 03:28:14,380
And now Amos Otis.

1846
03:28:14,380 --> 03:28:37,380
Otis had a bust single struck out and bounced out to second base.

1847
03:28:37,380 --> 03:28:42,380
Two out, nobody on in the bottom of the eighth, there's nobody leaving this ball box.

1848
03:28:42,380 --> 03:28:57,380
With a game like this, Pitch to Otis, high ball one.

1849
03:28:57,380 --> 03:29:15,380
This crowd is yelling themselves hoarse tonight. The 1-0 delivery, strike call one-on-one.

1850
03:29:15,380 --> 03:29:26,380
One ball, one strike, two out.

1851
03:29:26,380 --> 03:29:33,380
Otis taking a long time getting ready.

1852
03:29:33,380 --> 03:29:47,380
The kick and the pitch strike two call, one ball, two strikes.

1853
03:29:47,380 --> 03:30:03,380
Ready for the 1-2 delivery. Here it is, low it's 2-2.

1854
03:30:03,380 --> 03:30:11,380
Two balls, two strikes, two out. The kick, the pitch, oh, he just missed the outside corner.

1855
03:30:11,380 --> 03:30:21,380
3-2.

1856
03:30:21,380 --> 03:30:32,380
Three balls, two strikes, two out, nobody on bottom of the eighth, Royals in front three to two.

1857
03:30:32,380 --> 03:30:36,380
Pitch by Tauri, both four.

1858
03:30:36,380 --> 03:30:43,380
And half the watch Otis. That's only the second wall given up by Tauris.

1859
03:30:43,380 --> 03:30:49,380
Badapeep LaCocque will pinch it for John Wappen in the sixth and struck out.

1860
03:30:49,380 --> 03:30:52,380
Billy Martin's coming out.

1861
03:30:52,380 --> 03:30:57,380
And it looks like he's going to bring Sparky Lyle in.

1862
03:30:57,380 --> 03:31:05,380
We're waiting to see he has not signaled as yet.

1863
03:31:05,380 --> 03:31:13,380
Tauri's tying his shoelace out there.

1864
03:31:13,380 --> 03:31:16,380
Billy has not made a move yet.

1865
03:31:16,380 --> 03:31:18,380
And he's going to let Tauri stay in.

1866
03:31:18,380 --> 03:31:24,380
I'd say the mic has really been thrown that ball tonight.

1867
03:31:24,380 --> 03:31:30,380
So LaCocque steps in.

1868
03:31:30,380 --> 03:31:34,380
Two out, Otis at first. Billy went out to remind Tauris

1869
03:31:34,380 --> 03:31:39,380
who did not pay too much attention to Cookie Rojas back in the fourth

1870
03:31:39,380 --> 03:31:42,380
and Cookie stole a base.

1871
03:31:42,380 --> 03:31:46,380
Stretch by Tauris. There goes, they run a pitch out. Throw to second.

1872
03:31:46,380 --> 03:31:48,380
And he stays.

1873
03:31:48,380 --> 03:31:52,380
The throw was in the dirt. Randolph caught it, came up with the glove,

1874
03:31:52,380 --> 03:32:01,380
and by the time he came down, it tagged him on a pitch out, Otis steals second base.

1875
03:32:01,380 --> 03:32:09,380
Once the throw was a one hop at a Randolph, that was a ball to LaCocque.

1876
03:32:09,380 --> 03:32:18,380
And they're moving the outfield around towards left and left center.

1877
03:32:18,380 --> 03:32:24,380
Tauri is to the belt. The pitch foul and he's trying to hit to left field.

1878
03:32:24,380 --> 03:32:39,380
Strike one on LaCocque, one on one.

1879
03:32:39,380 --> 03:32:55,380
And the pitch down low, two and one.

1880
03:32:55,380 --> 03:32:57,380
Two men are out.

1881
03:32:57,380 --> 03:33:05,380
Stretch by Mike. Pitch low is three and one.

1882
03:33:05,380 --> 03:33:16,380
Cookie Rojas.

1883
03:33:16,380 --> 03:33:20,380
Royals leading three to two on the bottom of the eighth.

1884
03:33:20,380 --> 03:33:23,380
Three one pitch. Strike ball.

1885
03:33:23,380 --> 03:33:28,380
Three and two kind of a delayed strike ball by the plate umpire.

1886
03:33:28,380 --> 03:33:38,380
Full count.

1887
03:33:38,380 --> 03:33:41,380
Tauri is ready for big payoff pitch.

1888
03:33:41,380 --> 03:33:46,380
Here it is and he's, holy cow, he must have just missed with that one.

1889
03:33:46,380 --> 03:33:52,380
Here comes Billy Martin.

1890
03:33:52,380 --> 03:33:59,380
And he wants pocky lyle.

1891
03:33:59,380 --> 03:34:03,380
So that's going to be all for Mike Tauri and Mike pitched beautifully.

1892
03:34:03,380 --> 03:34:08,380
He pitched one, two, three, four.

1893
03:34:08,380 --> 03:34:15,380
In two thirds. Five and a third innings.

1894
03:34:15,380 --> 03:34:22,380
He allowed just three bases.

1895
03:34:22,380 --> 03:34:31,380
Walk three struck out four has not allowed any runs and pocky lyle will come on.

1896
03:34:31,380 --> 03:34:37,380
And the batter is Cookie Rojas.

1897
03:34:37,380 --> 03:34:47,380
Rojas has lined hard to left single, stole a base and then bounced a short.

1898
03:34:47,380 --> 03:34:49,380
There it is. And he run.

1899
03:34:49,380 --> 03:34:51,380
Gidry started this game.

1900
03:34:51,380 --> 03:34:55,380
And in the first inning, the Royals picked up two runs on three hits.

1901
03:34:55,380 --> 03:35:01,380
One of them a bunch single which didn't mean anything but ground ball to pocky dents.

1902
03:35:01,380 --> 03:35:04,380
Pocky had trouble getting it out of his glove, getting a good grip.

1903
03:35:04,380 --> 03:35:08,380
McRae beat it out and then Brett hit a line drive that Mickey Rivers kind of missed.

1904
03:35:08,380 --> 03:35:11,380
George went for a triple and slid in the third.

1905
03:35:11,380 --> 03:35:14,380
A big fight between Nettles and Brett.

1906
03:35:14,380 --> 03:35:19,380
Both teams erupted and were out in the field scuffling around.

1907
03:35:19,380 --> 03:35:26,380
And then Brett, when order was restored, scored on a high ball of more chop by Al Cowan.

1908
03:35:26,380 --> 03:35:30,380
Royals picked up another run in the third inning on a double by McRae.

1909
03:35:30,380 --> 03:35:35,380
A ground up by Brett that sent McRae to third where he scored on Al Cowan's single.

1910
03:35:35,380 --> 03:35:37,380
That was all a scoring for the Royals.

1911
03:35:37,380 --> 03:35:41,380
Yankees picked up a run in the third with two-out Rivers single, stole second.

1912
03:35:41,380 --> 03:35:45,380
Randolph walked and Munson lined a single right to drive in Rivers.

1913
03:35:45,380 --> 03:35:49,380
And they scored their second run in the eighth, a single by Randolph,

1914
03:35:49,380 --> 03:35:52,380
single by Penelope and a single by Jackson Pinchettie.

1915
03:35:52,380 --> 03:35:56,380
But then a great play by Frank White on the disputed call at second.

1916
03:35:56,380 --> 03:36:01,380
And Reggie Jackson said Pottek bobbled a ball when Reggie slid on Omaha

1917
03:36:01,380 --> 03:36:05,380
and Pottek had to be helped off the field.

1918
03:36:05,380 --> 03:36:07,380
But the umpire didn't change his calls.

1919
03:36:07,380 --> 03:36:32,380
Falkie's ready and Rojas will be stepping in.

1920
03:36:32,380 --> 03:36:38,380
All right, Otis at second, LaCocque at first.

1921
03:36:38,380 --> 03:36:48,380
And Cookie Rojas-Tabata, Falkie Lyall who was outstanding in last night's relief job.

1922
03:36:48,380 --> 03:37:00,380
He kicks, delivers, swing and a foul, strike one.

1923
03:37:00,380 --> 03:37:11,380
Falkie looking around at his defense, gets back on the rubber now, gets the sign from Munson.

1924
03:37:11,380 --> 03:37:24,380
And the pitch to Rojas, high one-on-one.

1925
03:37:24,380 --> 03:37:29,380
Ready for the one-one pitch.

1926
03:37:29,380 --> 03:37:33,380
And here it is, foul back and out of play.

1927
03:37:33,380 --> 03:37:37,380
Upstairs, one ball, two strikes.

1928
03:37:37,380 --> 03:37:43,380
Falkie doesn't like the feel of that ball.

1929
03:37:43,380 --> 03:37:47,380
Gets another one.

1930
03:37:47,380 --> 03:37:53,380
Walks in back of the mound, get a little rise in.

1931
03:37:53,380 --> 03:38:06,380
Big short a backer, looks the ball from his glove to his pitching hand, gets the sign from Munson.

1932
03:38:06,380 --> 03:38:11,380
And the pitch, struck on Maud, how do you like that Falkie Lyall?

1933
03:38:11,380 --> 03:38:14,380
He is unbelievable.

1934
03:38:14,380 --> 03:38:19,380
No runs, no hits, no errors, two men left at the end of eight.

1935
03:38:19,380 --> 03:38:29,380
It's the Royal 3 and the Yankees 2.

1936
03:38:29,380 --> 03:38:31,380
Hey everybody, this is Mel Allen.

1937
03:38:31,380 --> 03:38:38,380
You know I've spent a lot of years broadcasting baseball games, but man, what I wouldn't have given the broadcast a fight,

1938
03:38:38,380 --> 03:38:45,380
a championship fight with heavy weights like Lewis, Alley, or middle weights like Graziano and Sugar Ray.

1939
03:38:45,380 --> 03:38:54,380
Now I've finally got my chance to broadcast the champion, the lightweight beer champion, new Rhyme Gold Extra Light.

1940
03:38:54,380 --> 03:39:01,380
Friends, you're going to hear a lot more about this premium beer because Extra Light got it all together.

1941
03:39:01,380 --> 03:39:10,380
Less filling, round after round, only 87 calories a can, but the full body taste still goes the distance.

1942
03:39:10,380 --> 03:39:17,380
Believe me, this is the one that'll set you beer fans' cheering, less filling, round after round.

1943
03:39:17,380 --> 03:39:24,380
The new title holder, the lightweight beer champion, Rhyme Gold Extra Light.

1944
03:39:24,380 --> 03:39:30,380
Go get them champ, Rhyme Gold Burry, New York.

1945
03:39:30,380 --> 03:39:40,380
And you're going to like when we do things at Amco Transmission because if you take your car to Amco in the morning,

1946
03:39:40,380 --> 03:39:43,380
chances are you'll have a very same evening.

1947
03:39:43,380 --> 03:39:50,380
That's one day service, and that's just another reason we're the world's largest transmission specialist.

1948
03:39:50,380 --> 03:40:00,380
You're going to like the way we do things at Amco because at Amco we get most cars done in one day.

1949
03:40:00,380 --> 03:40:06,380
Amco AA MCO.

1950
03:40:06,380 --> 03:40:19,380
Well, Dennis Lennon now who came on and beat the Yankees here at Royal Stadium in a starting role.

1951
03:40:19,380 --> 03:40:26,380
He pitched the full nine innings allowing just four hits and two runs as Camargo to do the pitching.

1952
03:40:26,380 --> 03:40:32,380
Whitey Herzog sending the right hander out there at the stadium.

1953
03:40:32,380 --> 03:40:39,380
He pitched nine innings and that on can't rebound that quickly.

1954
03:40:39,380 --> 03:40:47,380
He'll be working to Paul Blair and then Roy White is on deck as a pinch hitter for Bucky Dent.

1955
03:40:47,380 --> 03:40:55,380
And then Mickey Ribbon.

1956
03:40:55,380 --> 03:41:05,380
So Paul Blair has bounced the third twice and popped the second.

1957
03:41:05,380 --> 03:41:07,380
Lennon the right hander.

1958
03:41:07,380 --> 03:41:19,380
We're in the top of the ninth Yankees trail by a run. That's low ball one.

1959
03:41:19,380 --> 03:41:23,380
Dennis Lennon winds.

1960
03:41:23,380 --> 03:41:30,380
Blair went after a pitch out of the strike zone would have been two and all, but Paul was guessing and looking to hit one out of here.

1961
03:41:30,380 --> 03:41:33,380
A little over anxious.

1962
03:41:33,380 --> 03:41:39,380
And then the Yankee bench players getting up walking around.

1963
03:41:39,380 --> 03:41:50,380
One one pitch fastball fouled back on the screen. Strike two.

1964
03:41:50,380 --> 03:41:56,380
One ball two strikes.

1965
03:41:56,380 --> 03:42:04,380
And then the third.

1966
03:42:04,380 --> 03:42:12,380
Three Yankees two in the top of the ninth.

1967
03:42:12,380 --> 03:42:13,880
will not be able to reach it.

1968
03:42:16,320 --> 03:42:17,820
And it's still a ball and two

1969
03:42:17,820 --> 03:42:18,320
strikes.

1970
03:42:31,560 --> 03:42:33,200
Tension all the way through this

1971
03:42:33,200 --> 03:42:35,040
ballgame has been unbelievable.

1972
03:42:36,340 --> 03:42:38,280
Again the one to press he held

1973
03:42:38,280 --> 03:42:44,280
it to and to.

1974
03:42:45,160 --> 03:42:47,120
The job to hold up on that kind

1975
03:42:47,120 --> 03:42:49,660
of a pitch to ball to strike

1976
03:42:49,660 --> 03:42:51,360
nobody out nobody on top of the

1977
03:42:51,360 --> 03:42:51,660
ninth.

1978
03:42:52,200 --> 03:42:53,900
He's need to run the tie.

1979
03:42:54,800 --> 03:42:56,640
The pitch fastball foul that'll

1980
03:42:56,640 --> 03:42:57,940
be out of play back into the

1981
03:42:57,940 --> 03:42:58,300
seats.

1982
03:43:05,580 --> 03:43:07,320
When it doesn't like the feel of

1983
03:43:07,320 --> 03:43:09,240
that ball gets a new one from Nick

1984
03:43:09,240 --> 03:43:09,680
Bremigan.

1985
03:43:10,720 --> 03:43:11,920
Roy White is on deck.

1986
03:43:20,220 --> 03:43:21,900
All right the wind up by Linus

1987
03:43:22,960 --> 03:43:24,660
pitch is lying to set a field

1988
03:43:24,660 --> 03:43:25,800
and that ball is going to drop

1989
03:43:25,800 --> 03:43:26,860
in for a base hit.

1990
03:43:27,440 --> 03:43:29,900
Holy cow ball Blair hung in

1991
03:43:29,900 --> 03:43:31,540
there as well as I've seen him

1992
03:43:31,540 --> 03:43:33,580
hang in there all year off a

1993
03:43:33,580 --> 03:43:34,840
tough right hand pitcher.

1994
03:43:35,480 --> 03:43:36,740
And now Roy White's going to get

1995
03:43:36,740 --> 03:43:40,580
down and talk to Dick Houser for

1996
03:43:40,580 --> 03:43:42,020
these Yankees out there.

1997
03:43:42,980 --> 03:43:44,320
Never say that.

1998
03:43:45,620 --> 03:43:47,220
White has got his instructions

1999
03:43:47,220 --> 03:43:48,560
from Houser who got him from

2000
03:43:48,560 --> 03:43:49,060
Martin.

2001
03:43:52,060 --> 03:43:54,020
Roy White has been about five

2002
03:43:54,020 --> 03:43:56,960
times in the series with two base

2003
03:43:56,960 --> 03:43:57,200
hits.

2004
03:43:59,740 --> 03:44:01,100
And both of them have been

2005
03:44:01,100 --> 03:44:03,700
doubled on deck Mickey Rivers

2006
03:44:03,700 --> 03:44:05,400
with Willie Randolph to follow

2007
03:44:05,400 --> 03:44:06,000
the ball.

2008
03:44:06,800 --> 03:44:07,800
Brett is in a third.

2009
03:44:09,600 --> 03:44:12,200
La Cac holding first against

2010
03:44:12,200 --> 03:44:13,040
Paul Blair.

2011
03:44:22,720 --> 03:44:24,020
Which throw to first base.

2012
03:44:24,620 --> 03:44:25,520
Blair is back.

2013
03:44:29,660 --> 03:44:31,020
There's a banner hanging over

2014
03:44:31,020 --> 03:44:32,700
the fence near the bullpen they

2015
03:44:32,700 --> 03:44:33,660
want to pull back.

2016
03:44:33,660 --> 03:44:34,920
And they do.

2017
03:44:36,960 --> 03:44:37,560
All right.

2018
03:44:37,560 --> 03:44:38,320
Nobody out.

2019
03:44:38,320 --> 03:44:40,100
Paul Blair with a big clutch

2020
03:44:40,100 --> 03:44:41,660
single leading off the top of

2021
03:44:41,660 --> 03:44:42,060
the ninth.

2022
03:44:47,440 --> 03:44:48,940
White digging into the plate

2023
03:44:48,940 --> 03:44:50,200
here's the stretch by Leonard

2024
03:44:51,280 --> 03:44:53,380
pitch to White is outside ball

2025
03:44:53,380 --> 03:44:53,840
one.

2026
03:44:53,840 --> 03:44:55,340
Roy had not squared around a

2027
03:44:55,340 --> 03:44:55,780
bunch.

2028
03:45:00,720 --> 03:45:03,180
Mark Lutel and Larry Gora right

2029
03:45:03,180 --> 03:45:04,620
hander and a left hander are up

2030
03:45:04,620 --> 03:45:07,280
in the Royals bullpen Blair

2031
03:45:07,280 --> 03:45:10,020
leading off first Leonard wheels

2032
03:45:10,020 --> 03:45:11,520
and throws the first Blair is

2033
03:45:11,520 --> 03:45:11,860
back.

2034
03:45:18,700 --> 03:45:20,200
Nobody out another quick throw

2035
03:45:20,200 --> 03:45:21,300
and Blair is back.

2036
03:45:21,300 --> 03:45:22,640
Boy that was a good move that

2037
03:45:22,640 --> 03:45:28,080
time by Leonard Blair getting a

2038
03:45:28,080 --> 03:45:29,640
good lead in case of a ground

2039
03:45:29,640 --> 03:45:30,780
ball he wants to break up a

2040
03:45:30,780 --> 03:45:33,240
possible double play.

2041
03:45:33,240 --> 03:45:34,980
It's the Roy outside drop by

2042
03:45:34,980 --> 03:45:37,080
Porter no advances to a nothing

2043
03:45:38,180 --> 03:45:39,480
and now Leonard wants still

2044
03:45:39,480 --> 03:45:40,420
another baseball.

2045
03:45:46,100 --> 03:45:48,260
Two balls no strikes nobody out

2046
03:45:54,000 --> 03:45:55,500
Blair with a good lead at first

2047
03:45:55,500 --> 03:45:56,740
but he's got to be careful.

2048
03:45:56,740 --> 03:46:00,300
Leonard has that good move.

2049
03:46:00,300 --> 03:46:02,380
He comes down to the belt a

2050
03:46:02,380 --> 03:46:04,580
pitch to Roy high ball three

2051
03:46:04,580 --> 03:46:07,420
three and nothing and now

2052
03:46:07,420 --> 03:46:09,340
Porter called time and goes out

2053
03:46:09,340 --> 03:46:11,080
to talk with Dennis Leonard.

2054
03:46:17,060 --> 03:46:18,920
Anky players getting fidgety

2055
03:46:18,920 --> 03:46:20,160
down in the dugout.

2056
03:46:21,300 --> 03:46:23,000
Herman Munson loosening up his

2057
03:46:23,000 --> 03:46:23,500
leg.

2058
03:46:23,500 --> 03:46:25,540
Mickey Rivers goes down to

2059
03:46:25,540 --> 03:46:27,080
change bats comes out on deck

2060
03:46:28,340 --> 03:46:30,080
three balls no strikes on Roy

2061
03:46:30,080 --> 03:46:34,780
White Leonard sets and the pitch

2062
03:46:34,780 --> 03:46:36,920
strike ball three and one.

2063
03:46:49,500 --> 03:46:50,960
The Yankees play a little hit

2064
03:46:50,960 --> 03:46:52,160
and run here or something to

2065
03:46:52,160 --> 03:46:53,560
stretch by Leonard.

2066
03:46:54,200 --> 03:46:55,960
No Blair does not go swing.

2067
03:47:10,780 --> 03:47:12,380
All right a full count on Roy

2068
03:47:12,380 --> 03:47:12,780
White.

2069
03:47:13,820 --> 03:47:15,160
Leonard had missed the plate with

2070
03:47:15,160 --> 03:47:16,480
three straight pitches came in

2071
03:47:16,480 --> 03:47:17,320
with two strikes.

2072
03:47:18,820 --> 03:47:20,960
There goes Blair fouled back on

2073
03:47:20,960 --> 03:47:22,860
the screen Blair had some jump

2074
03:47:22,860 --> 03:47:24,760
I'd said it but of course Roy

2075
03:47:24,760 --> 03:47:25,960
White with two strikes on him

2076
03:47:25,960 --> 03:47:27,100
had to protect the plate.

2077
03:47:30,960 --> 03:47:34,160
So Roy stays alive and the Yankees

2078
03:47:34,160 --> 03:47:37,300
stay alive still nobody out and

2079
03:47:37,300 --> 03:47:38,880
the Yankees trailing by a run.

2080
03:47:44,280 --> 03:47:45,680
Leonard nods his head at the

2081
03:47:45,680 --> 03:47:46,180
sign.

2082
03:47:46,580 --> 03:47:48,180
Quick throw to first Blair jumps

2083
03:47:58,060 --> 03:47:59,460
Leonard had stepped on the mound

2084
03:47:59,460 --> 03:48:00,960
and stepped off almost stumbled

2085
03:48:03,700 --> 03:48:04,800
he comes set.

2086
03:48:06,840 --> 03:48:08,900
Blair is going fouled back and

2087
03:48:08,900 --> 03:48:09,740
out of play.

2088
03:48:11,180 --> 03:48:12,340
Boom man.

2089
03:48:13,540 --> 03:48:15,140
Tension is unbelievable.

2090
03:48:15,140 --> 03:48:16,900
Both teams battling to get in a

2091
03:48:16,900 --> 03:48:17,700
world series.

2092
03:48:19,440 --> 03:48:21,280
The biggest prize in baseball is

2093
03:48:21,280 --> 03:48:22,280
to get in the series.

2094
03:48:26,080 --> 03:48:27,980
Why so many times the playoffs

2095
03:48:27,980 --> 03:48:30,680
are much more exciting than the

2096
03:48:30,680 --> 03:48:31,580
world series.

2097
03:48:32,220 --> 03:48:34,060
I player with a good lead again.

2098
03:48:36,220 --> 03:48:38,520
Leonard said he's going again to

2099
03:48:38,520 --> 03:48:39,760
pitch both four.

2100
03:48:40,020 --> 03:48:42,200
Holy cow Roy White with a great

2101
03:48:42,200 --> 03:48:42,760
eye.

2102
03:48:42,760 --> 03:48:46,840
Runners that first and second

2103
03:48:46,840 --> 03:48:48,300
nobody out here comes Whitey

2104
03:48:48,300 --> 03:48:48,860
Herzog.

2105
03:48:55,080 --> 03:48:57,080
While Whitey Herzog is walking

2106
03:48:57,080 --> 03:48:59,340
out to the mound we'll pause for

2107
03:48:59,340 --> 03:49:00,880
station identification.

2108
03:49:02,420 --> 03:49:04,920
WMCA Strauss Communications in

2109
03:49:04,920 --> 03:49:05,560
New York.

2110
03:49:06,260 --> 03:49:07,220
This is Mel Allen.

2111
03:49:08,060 --> 03:49:09,320
Emery goes to play in the

2112
03:49:09,320 --> 03:49:13,000
places everyone else goes to as

2113
03:49:13,000 --> 03:49:14,960
well as the places no one else

2114
03:49:14,960 --> 03:49:15,560
goes to.

2115
03:49:16,200 --> 03:49:18,940
Emery the Air Force and Air

2116
03:49:18,940 --> 03:49:19,340
Prey.

2117
03:49:27,780 --> 03:49:30,820
Well Whitey Herzog has really

2118
03:49:30,820 --> 03:49:32,380
been over managing in this ball

2119
03:49:32,380 --> 03:49:32,780
game.

2120
03:49:34,820 --> 03:49:36,620
First he took split off out of

2121
03:49:36,620 --> 03:49:37,020
his pitch.

2122
03:49:37,020 --> 03:49:39,420
In a tremendous game put in Doug

2123
03:49:39,420 --> 03:49:39,860
Bird.

2124
03:49:40,260 --> 03:49:42,120
They cream bird for two bases

2125
03:49:43,020 --> 03:49:43,560
and a run.

2126
03:49:43,920 --> 03:49:45,300
Then he started this inning

2127
03:49:45,300 --> 03:49:49,400
with Dennis Leonard who had

2128
03:49:49,400 --> 03:49:51,540
pitched nine full innings just a

2129
03:49:51,540 --> 03:49:52,640
couple of days ago.

2130
03:49:53,440 --> 03:49:54,600
Leonard couldn't do it as Blair

2131
03:49:54,600 --> 03:49:55,700
Singleton Whitewalk.

2132
03:49:55,700 --> 03:49:57,600
Now he's bringing in Larry Goura

2133
03:49:58,240 --> 03:50:01,040
and Goura was cream pretty hard

2134
03:50:01,040 --> 03:50:02,440
by the Yankees in the game he

2135
03:50:02,440 --> 03:50:03,040
started.

2136
03:50:03,040 --> 03:50:06,120
Which was yesterday.

2137
03:50:06,120 --> 03:50:07,120
Larry Goura.

2138
03:50:08,420 --> 03:50:10,420
So Goura is out there and Mickey

2139
03:50:10,420 --> 03:50:12,660
Rivers will be the batter and

2140
03:50:12,660 --> 03:50:14,620
Mickey had four bases in

2141
03:50:14,620 --> 03:50:16,120
yesterday's game he's one for

2142
03:50:16,120 --> 03:50:17,620
four in this game with a stolen

2143
03:50:17,620 --> 03:50:18,900
base and a run scored.

2144
03:50:21,700 --> 03:50:23,540
And following Rivers is Rand

2145
03:50:23,540 --> 03:50:26,480
off and Monson with the

2146
03:50:26,480 --> 03:50:28,000
first base in the game.

2147
03:50:28,000 --> 03:50:29,540
And then he's going to play

2148
03:50:29,540 --> 03:50:33,040
Rivers is Rand off and Monson with

2149
03:50:33,040 --> 03:50:34,820
the Royals leading three to two

2150
03:50:36,040 --> 03:50:37,720
and the top of the ninth inning

2151
03:50:43,920 --> 03:50:46,220
and everything riding on this

2152
03:50:46,220 --> 03:50:47,460
last inning.

2153
03:50:49,360 --> 03:50:52,100
162 game schedule about thirty

2154
03:50:52,100 --> 03:50:53,800
five games in spring training.

2155
03:50:53,800 --> 03:50:58,560
The fifth playoff game.

2156
03:51:01,560 --> 03:51:03,400
And all for that pot of gold at

2157
03:51:03,400 --> 03:51:04,900
the end of the rainbow the World

2158
03:51:04,900 --> 03:51:05,800
Series.

2159
03:51:08,440 --> 03:51:09,980
Goura still taking his warm up

2160
03:51:09,980 --> 03:51:10,640
pitches.

2161
03:51:16,120 --> 03:51:18,020
Yankees with an outstanding

2162
03:51:18,020 --> 03:51:20,580
chance right here to other

2163
03:51:20,580 --> 03:51:23,560
fastest men on base and their

2164
03:51:23,560 --> 03:51:25,660
fastest men definitely at bat

2165
03:51:25,660 --> 03:51:27,460
Mickey Rivers players at second

2166
03:51:28,320 --> 03:51:29,660
white is at first.

2167
03:51:31,900 --> 03:51:33,500
I've had more coffee tonight.

2168
03:51:33,660 --> 03:51:35,460
This game goes in extra innings

2169
03:51:35,460 --> 03:51:36,660
Gene Michael's going to have to

2170
03:51:36,660 --> 03:51:39,000
finish on the air for me because

2171
03:51:39,840 --> 03:51:41,500
my voice was shot when I got

2172
03:51:41,500 --> 03:51:41,940
here.

2173
03:51:43,580 --> 03:51:45,280
All right Mickey Rivers steps

2174
03:51:45,280 --> 03:51:49,980
in with player had second and

2175
03:51:49,980 --> 03:51:51,620
white at first LaCocca is in at

2176
03:51:51,620 --> 03:51:53,620
third.

2177
03:51:54,620 --> 03:51:56,220
Look at this weird defensive

2178
03:51:56,220 --> 03:51:56,880
alignment.

2179
03:51:56,880 --> 03:51:59,020
Holy cow pot tech is playing

2180
03:51:59,020 --> 03:52:01,860
third base and Mickey Rivers

2181
03:52:01,860 --> 03:52:03,760
started a bunch takes it high

2182
03:52:03,760 --> 03:52:04,300
ball one.

2183
03:52:04,300 --> 03:52:05,460
I tell you this is quite a

2184
03:52:05,460 --> 03:52:07,860
defense and now how's this going

2185
03:52:07,860 --> 03:52:09,700
to talk with River because on

2186
03:52:09,700 --> 03:52:11,540
this play if Rivers Buster third

2187
03:52:11,540 --> 03:52:12,640
Brett's going to grab a turn

2188
03:52:12,640 --> 03:52:14,200
around throw to pot tech they'll

2189
03:52:14,200 --> 03:52:17,280
force Blair white the second

2190
03:52:17,280 --> 03:52:18,740
baseman is standing about two

2191
03:52:18,740 --> 03:52:20,040
steps from second base.

2192
03:52:20,040 --> 03:52:21,640
Pot Tech is closer to third than

2193
03:52:21,640 --> 03:52:25,320
he is to second when they let

2194
03:52:25,320 --> 03:52:26,420
Mickey swing away there's no

2195
03:52:26,420 --> 03:52:27,420
way they're going to double

2196
03:52:27,420 --> 03:52:28,660
Rivers up for sure.

2197
03:52:31,620 --> 03:52:32,860
Three to two the Royals lead

2198
03:52:32,860 --> 03:52:34,020
why never saw a defensive

2199
03:52:34,020 --> 03:52:35,060
alignment like this.

2200
03:52:35,060 --> 03:52:35,900
Here's a stretch.

2201
03:52:36,400 --> 03:52:37,860
Mickey swings and misses he went

2202
03:52:37,860 --> 03:52:40,500
after a bad pitch one on one.

2203
03:52:47,200 --> 03:52:47,700
That's it.

2204
03:52:47,700 --> 03:52:50,300
Herzog's got that infield so

2205
03:52:50,300 --> 03:52:51,380
confused they don't know what

2206
03:52:51,380 --> 03:52:52,380
they're doing out there.

2207
03:52:53,340 --> 03:52:54,640
The clock looks in at the bench

2208
03:52:54,640 --> 03:52:55,980
white looks in at the bench

2209
03:52:56,640 --> 03:52:59,620
stretch by Gore and Mickey runs

2210
03:52:59,620 --> 03:53:01,320
up the Bunt takes it low to him

2211
03:53:01,320 --> 03:53:01,680
one.

2212
03:53:02,320 --> 03:53:05,760
Oh I tell you you've got a bunch

2213
03:53:05,760 --> 03:53:07,460
at first base if he wants the

2214
03:53:07,460 --> 03:53:09,600
third they got a fourth easy at

2215
03:53:09,600 --> 03:53:13,000
third base and now how's it

2216
03:53:13,000 --> 03:53:15,160
yells Mickey Rivers out of the

2217
03:53:15,160 --> 03:53:16,000
box and says.

2218
03:53:16,000 --> 03:53:19,000
Swing away make don't but now

2219
03:53:19,000 --> 03:53:20,440
that might be a decoy.

2220
03:53:22,440 --> 03:53:23,600
We'll wait and see.

2221
03:53:25,000 --> 03:53:27,840
Larry Gore comes to the belt and

2222
03:53:27,840 --> 03:53:29,840
the pressure swings and files it

2223
03:53:29,840 --> 03:53:31,080
back on the screen.

2224
03:53:32,780 --> 03:53:33,920
And now Brett wants to know

2225
03:53:33,920 --> 03:53:34,620
what to do.

2226
03:53:34,620 --> 03:53:36,320
Pot Tech goes back to his normal

2227
03:53:36,320 --> 03:53:36,920
position.

2228
03:53:37,620 --> 03:53:39,160
I said you Mickey had a lot of

2229
03:53:39,160 --> 03:53:40,520
things going for him there that

2230
03:53:40,520 --> 03:53:42,120
weird defensive alignment.

2231
03:53:43,120 --> 03:53:44,920
A ground ball anyplace but he

2232
03:53:44,920 --> 03:53:46,720
had a ground ball anyplace but

2233
03:53:46,720 --> 03:53:50,800
right at Brett Blair leads his

2234
03:53:50,800 --> 03:53:53,000
second white leads at first two

2235
03:53:53,000 --> 03:53:54,340
and two on Mickey Rivers.

2236
03:53:55,040 --> 03:53:56,340
He's just got to get a piece of

2237
03:53:56,340 --> 03:53:58,640
it at a slow ground ball the

2238
03:53:58,640 --> 03:54:00,540
pitch and he gets a base at the

2239
03:54:00,540 --> 03:54:01,240
right field.

2240
03:54:02,080 --> 03:54:03,240
There's going to score.

2241
03:54:03,880 --> 03:54:05,880
What's going to go to third only

2242
03:54:05,880 --> 03:54:07,680
how Mickey Rivers come through

2243
03:54:07,680 --> 03:54:08,380
with that clutch.

2244
03:54:09,020 --> 03:54:11,280
Holy cow I got to say it again

2245
03:54:11,280 --> 03:54:12,920
the ball game is tied three

2246
03:54:12,920 --> 03:54:42,460
apper NIKE

2247
03:54:42,920 --> 03:54:48,360
But Mickey Rivers comes through with a clutch single a right field driving in Paul Blair.

2248
03:54:49,720 --> 03:54:55,080
That run is charged to Dennis Leonard who could be the losing pitcher in this game.

2249
03:54:55,080 --> 03:54:59,480
The Yankees have runners at first and third and Willie Randolph will be the batter.

2250
03:55:00,440 --> 03:55:06,520
And we got another pitcher coming on and we said that both clubs would have everybody in the bullpen

2251
03:55:06,520 --> 03:55:09,240
and Whitey Herzog's going to try and use them all tonight.

2252
03:55:09,240 --> 03:55:13,160
Let's see who's can anybody know who this is.

2253
03:55:17,640 --> 03:55:19,160
Mark Littell.

2254
03:55:21,240 --> 03:55:23,880
You know I don't even have room to put him down on my store.

2255
03:55:25,800 --> 03:55:27,160
Mark Littell.

2256
03:55:27,720 --> 03:55:32,440
One two three four this is the sixth royal pitcher of the night.

2257
03:55:32,440 --> 03:55:39,400
Hey Bart Lutzi you got any music you can play back in the studio give me a minute rest.

2258
03:55:40,680 --> 03:55:43,160
Well Gene Michael anything you'd like to say on the air.

2259
03:55:44,120 --> 03:55:46,360
Well if you want to sing now forget that.

2260
03:55:47,800 --> 03:55:49,480
This is unbelievable.

2261
03:55:49,480 --> 03:55:57,400
I want to talk about a team that did not give up all year under the most adverse conditions.

2262
03:55:57,400 --> 03:56:01,800
Press radio television.

2263
03:56:01,800 --> 03:56:03,640
Ball players fighting.

2264
03:56:05,640 --> 03:56:11,480
To come up win their divisional title to be the tough red sox and ballamore club.

2265
03:56:12,200 --> 03:56:14,440
Battles royals down to the last game.

2266
03:56:15,240 --> 03:56:19,480
Coming into the eighth inning trailing by two they picked up one in the eighth one of the

2267
03:56:19,480 --> 03:56:27,880
ninth the scores tied and now they got one of that first and third with nobody out.

2268
03:56:27,880 --> 03:56:31,320
We're not conceding the game to the Yankees but to be able to come back

2269
03:56:32,440 --> 03:56:38,920
with a partisan crowd rooting on every pitch they are very quiet right now I can tell you that.

2270
03:56:41,080 --> 03:56:46,200
And again the Yankees nothing but speed out there whiter third rivers that person ran off the

2271
03:56:46,200 --> 03:56:51,160
batter and the infield is playing halfway which gives the Yankees another advantage.

2272
03:56:53,800 --> 03:57:03,080
So Mark Luttrell comes to the belt checking the runners the pitch to Rolly Randolph high ball

2273
03:57:03,080 --> 03:57:13,240
one on Dick Thurman Munson Reggie Jackson doing some cheerleading on the bench boarded he

2274
03:57:13,240 --> 03:57:21,800
got a clutch pinch hit single Luttrell steps off the rubber Randolph steps out of the box.

2275
03:57:28,680 --> 03:57:35,400
Stretched by Luttrell and the pitch low on a way almost a wild pitch it's doing nothing.

2276
03:57:36,360 --> 03:57:43,080
Suddenly all the pressure is on the royals as the Yankees had nine innings of constant pressure

2277
03:57:43,080 --> 03:57:59,640
on them three free the score stretch by Luttrell and the first ball is in their strike ball two months.

2278
03:57:59,640 --> 03:58:14,360
All right rivers off first wide off third

2279
03:58:16,440 --> 03:58:21,800
Luttrell checking them these steps back off the mound worried about Mickey Rivers over there.

2280
03:58:21,800 --> 03:58:32,120
All right Willie Randolph back in the batter's box as Luttrell sets

2281
03:58:34,440 --> 03:58:38,200
and the pitch outside and high three and one.

2282
03:58:40,600 --> 03:58:47,480
Oh Billy Martin with a lot of options right now nobody out he could send rivers on a hit and run

2283
03:58:47,480 --> 03:58:52,200
he could let Randolph take Randolph swing away

2284
03:58:55,480 --> 03:59:04,040
three balls one strike nobody out Luttrell to the belt and the pitch and that'll get him in deep

2285
03:59:04,040 --> 03:59:10,360
the center field Rivers is going to tag up and all way back on the warning track Otis catches

2286
03:59:10,360 --> 03:59:17,240
it white scores easily Rivers easily in a second the Yankees lead four to three look at that Yankee bench

2287
03:59:17,240 --> 03:59:23,880
going bananas Willie Randolph hit one four hundred feet that Otis had to go back to the track and catch

2288
03:59:26,040 --> 03:59:33,880
and the Yankees are out in front and that run by the way is charged to Dennis Leonard so he is

2289
03:59:33,880 --> 03:59:41,160
the pitcher of record right now and the batter is Thurman Munson Munson is one for four with a

2290
03:59:41,160 --> 03:59:46,120
single and a run batted in and it looks like they're gonna are they gonna put them on wait a minute

2291
03:59:46,680 --> 03:59:52,280
Porter is saying something to Luttrell with Rivers he's saying watch Rivers at second base that's

2292
03:59:52,280 --> 03:59:57,640
what he's saying he'll pick your pockets you know keep an eye on him man he got the second before

2293
03:59:57,640 --> 04:00:06,360
white cross on plate all right the stretch by Luttrell and the pitch to Munson bouncing ball

2294
04:00:06,360 --> 04:00:13,000
a short Rivers goes what that's grow to first low but scooped up by LaTox Munson is out Rivers is

2295
04:00:13,000 --> 04:00:22,120
at third there are two away and now Lou Pinella Lou has doubled single bounce the third fly to right

2296
04:00:22,120 --> 04:00:29,240
one more run would look beautiful on my lineup card

2297
04:00:31,560 --> 04:00:37,720
Mickey Rivers at third I don't believe I've ever seen Mickey try and steal home

2298
04:00:38,360 --> 04:00:46,840
for Gail and Cisco is coming out now remember Reggie Jackson went in for clip Johnson so Jackson

2299
04:00:46,840 --> 04:01:01,800
remained the designated hitter and Reggie is on deck Gail and Cisco talking with George Brett

2300
04:01:01,800 --> 04:01:06,920
Darrell Porter and Mark Luttrell and now Dick has it comes in to talk with Lou Pinella

2301
04:01:10,440 --> 04:01:15,000
modern meetings going on all over this ballpark Jerry Walker and Gene Michael

2302
04:01:15,000 --> 04:01:21,080
having a big meeting at the bottom of the night everybody goes back

2303
04:01:25,720 --> 04:01:31,560
and Lou Pinella throws his gum away as he usually does when he comes up to bat

2304
04:01:34,200 --> 04:01:37,560
and Luttrell will pitch from a stretch position to keep an eye on Rivers

2305
04:01:37,560 --> 04:01:44,760
is two out two runs in the Yankees late four to three

2306
04:01:53,000 --> 04:01:54,120
stretch by Luttrell

2307
04:01:57,240 --> 04:02:01,640
and the pitch to Pinella bouncing ball towards the hole Brett one handed to his left

2308
04:02:01,640 --> 04:02:09,640
throw the first half and throw all he's down he threw it six feet over the Cogshead River scores

2309
04:02:09,640 --> 04:02:15,720
and there's that run I wanted and the Yankees lead five to three and my voices come back I can't

2310
04:02:15,720 --> 04:02:24,680
believe it an error by George Brett and going to second base is Lou Pinella and the Yankees are

2311
04:02:24,680 --> 04:02:32,520
out I can't believe my voice is back the Yankees are out front five to three that run is charged to

2312
04:02:32,520 --> 04:02:43,240
Larry Gore and suddenly a lot of silence here at Royal State Reggie Jackson who got one of the

2313
04:02:43,240 --> 04:02:48,520
biggest hits of the year for him and the Yankees when he pinched it in the eighth to driving the

2314
04:02:48,520 --> 04:02:55,240
runners up there and they'll add second which Sir Reggie swings and fouls it off strike one

2315
04:03:04,440 --> 04:03:05,960
on deck Greg Nettles

2316
04:03:09,960 --> 04:03:13,160
Yankees have scored three times here in the top of the ninth

2317
04:03:13,160 --> 04:03:21,240
they lead five to three Luttrell kicks delivers a ground ball and white to his left pass it

2318
04:03:21,880 --> 04:03:29,640
throws Jackson out Reggie hit the ball well but the Yankees pick up three runs on two bases

2319
04:03:29,640 --> 04:03:43,160
one big error one man left at the end of eight and a half the Yankees five in the Royal Street

2320
04:03:43,160 --> 04:03:47,800
all right we're going to the bottom of the ninth inning the scheduled batters are Darryl Porter

2321
04:03:48,600 --> 04:03:53,640
Frank White and Freddie Patek and on the mound is Farky Lyles

2322
04:03:53,640 --> 04:03:59,960
Farky has pitched to one man in this game and struck him out that was cookie Rojas

2323
04:04:02,520 --> 04:04:04,040
Darryl Porter has singled

2324
04:04:04,040 --> 04:04:23,400
by deep to center Micky Rivers made a great play on him and flying to left

2325
04:04:23,400 --> 04:04:30,920
Farky Lyles

2326
04:04:37,880 --> 04:04:44,440
I had left hand hitting Darryl Porter is in there Lyles in the wind up his pitch popped up on the

2327
04:04:44,440 --> 04:04:51,320
left side Fred Stanley who took over for Bucky Dan is out and makes the catch and it's one out

2328
04:04:51,320 --> 04:04:59,160
the chicken kind of sneaked in there lucky dent was pinch hit four and so Stanley went out to play

2329
04:04:59,160 --> 04:05:05,960
short one out and there goes the helmet out of the dugout I think it's why the Hurzad helmet

2330
04:05:06,760 --> 04:05:09,800
Frank White that's why the left struck out bounced the third

2331
04:05:09,800 --> 04:05:18,360
the wind up by Lyles and the pitch is right in there strike one ball

2332
04:05:23,080 --> 04:05:27,720
that whole Yankee benches up Lyles winds again

2333
04:05:27,720 --> 04:05:38,680
and the swing in a miss like two Yankees five Royal scree we're in the bottom of the ninth inning

2334
04:05:42,600 --> 04:05:46,680
White taking a little time now he's back in

2335
04:05:48,200 --> 04:05:51,720
Farky Kits delivers lined up base hit the center field

2336
04:05:51,720 --> 04:05:59,720
one Micky Rivers that was a tricky play by Micky it looked like he wanted White to think he had

2337
04:05:59,720 --> 04:06:07,560
lost the ball fired it in so Farky Lyles had gotten two quick strikes on Frank White

2338
04:06:09,240 --> 04:06:15,320
and you've got to slide her up a little bit ready protect bounces short foul to the catcher bounce

2339
04:06:15,320 --> 04:06:25,160
the third fly to right time is called

2340
04:06:28,200 --> 04:06:29,560
Yankees lead by two

2341
04:06:34,920 --> 04:06:40,120
good drawing Gulliter up in the Yankee bullpen is a swing in a miss by pot thick strike one

2342
04:06:40,120 --> 04:06:45,800
and that's where spark he's got to keep that slider he does it 95 percent of the time once in a while

2343
04:06:45,800 --> 04:06:49,960
the old hand one is he did the white

2344
04:06:57,320 --> 04:07:04,440
miles sets again the kick and the pitch swinging a miss strike two nothing in two on little freddy

2345
04:07:04,440 --> 04:07:12,120
pot deck gambler's holding first against Frank White

2346
04:07:19,240 --> 04:07:25,160
stretched by sparky the kick the pitch bouncing ball of third nettles goes to second one

2347
04:07:25,160 --> 04:07:31,000
back to first double play and a full game is over and the Yankees are in the world series

2348
04:07:31,000 --> 04:07:38,360
flip Johnson lost issue and they are all over sparky lyles you talked about a comeback this

2349
04:07:38,360 --> 04:07:45,240
has got to be one of the greatest comebacks in all of baseball history and by the way for you

2350
04:07:45,240 --> 04:07:51,560
Yankee fans reserve bleachers seats for games one and two of the world series will go on sale

2353
04:08:13,960 --> 04:08:24,120
to win the ball game unbelievable finish the Yankees win it five to three and once again the Royals

2356
04:08:39,000 --> 04:08:48,520
had in baseball really unbelievable what are we gonna do

2357
04:08:54,040 --> 04:08:58,440
yeah let's go into a commercial going to the commercial back there while I regain my wits

2358
04:09:00,040 --> 04:09:04,200
oh the score yes the final score the Yankees five and the Royals three

2359
04:09:04,200 --> 04:09:19,160
well we are back here very very wide ballpark but in that Yankee clubhouse right now the ball players

2360
04:09:20,040 --> 04:09:27,560
and deservedly so are going wild I'd say to this club you've got to give Billy Martin

2361
04:09:27,560 --> 04:09:32,200
if he doesn't get manager of the year I'll be greatly surprised I know Earl Weaver's going to get a lot of votes

2362
