00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Los Angeles Dodgers faced the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium for Game 6 of the World Series on Tuesday, October 18, 1977.

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Tommy Lasorda's Dodgers had a big win in Game 5 at home to avoid elimination after Billy Martin's Yankees won two close games in Los Angeles in Games 3 and 4.

4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:32,000
In this Game 6, the Dodgers sent Game 2 winner Bert Hootendt to the mound to face the Yankees Game 3 winner Mike Torres.

5
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:51,000
This audio recording is from the radio broadcast featuring announcers Bill White and Wynne Elliott.

6
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:31,000
This is your world series station in New York, WCBS News Radio 88 and immediately following our broadcast of the game,

7
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:40,000
we'll bring you up to date on all the latest news, weather and sports including details on all the racing at Yonkers and the Metal Lags.

8
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:50,000
All the stages set for the sixth game of this World Series and the best of four out of seven, only three teams have won the World Series after being down three to one in games.

9
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:59,000
And the Dodgers were just that down three to one to the Yankees. They won in Los Angeles and now they are one down to the Yankees as the sixth game is coming up.

10
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:06,000
The teams that have scored first in this series have won four of the five games and they have won the last four straight.

11
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:17,000
And the Dodgers, if you're interested in numbers, have never lost a World Series in an odd numbered year. They won in 1959, 1963 and 1965.

12
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,000
And here tonight it's going to be Bert Hootendt on the mound for the Dodgers hoping to keep their hopes alive.

13
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Hootendt pitched nine innings in a winning ball game earlier in the series and he allowed only one run on five hits while striking out eight and walking one.

14
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Hootendt in the regular season had a record of 12 wins and seven losses and going for the Yankees, Mike Torres, Mike with a record of 17 and 13 in the regular season

15
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,000
and he also pitched a complete game, a winning effort for the Yankees.

16
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000
More of our pregame activities after this message.

17
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Hey, sports fans, did you know that now there's a great new way to enjoy this series at home?

18
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Sure. I'm talking about new metal roast coffee and grain beverage.

19
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Metal roast starts with three kinds of rich, robust coffees, then blends in roasted grain to take away the bitter edge.

20
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,000
So you enjoy full flavored coffee taste without the bitterness and that should make any sports fan a metal roast fan too.

21
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Pick up some metal roast at your supermica today. It's new from General Booth.

22
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:26,000
All the New York Yankees had a press conference earlier this afternoon in a statement by Gay Paul, president of New York Yankees.

23
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:36,000
He said, we are pleased to announce that Billy Martin will continue as Yankee manager and has been rewarded with a substantial bonus and recognition of the fine job he has done.

24
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,000
We hope this will put to rest the unfounded rumors that a change was about to be made.

25
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Billy's contract runs through the 1979 season.

26
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Billy Martin said, I'm very pleased and happy after talking with Gay Paul about this year, next year and 79.

27
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Yankees were extremely good to me and everything is going to be great.

28
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,000
I want to thank George Steinbrenner, the top partner in the Yankees,

29
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Gabe and the New York Yankees for this kind reward and expression of confidence.

30
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,000
And of course, my warm thanks to our players whose great performances have made this all possible.

31
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Well, that's the way it sets up. That should get Billy Martin a little bit easier as far as he is concerned.

32
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,000
I don't think it has much to do with the players, but Billy Martin has been given a bonus and a vote of confidence.

33
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:32,000
We talked with Lou Pinella of the New York Yankees. He's having quite a season about his observations on Bert Hooten and this game.

34
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,000
I think that Bert Hooten surprises a little bit the first time with his good fastball.

35
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,000
We didn't think he threw that hard from our Scouting Reports, but he pitched an excellent game against us.

36
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:51,000
I think most of our hitters were more preoccupied with his knuckle curve than they were with the fastballs.

37
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000
And I think that this time around, you'll see the hitters looking more for the fastball.

38
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,000
If he makes a good pitch with the curveball, you're not going to hit it anyway, so I look for it.

39
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000
If he hangs it, you should be able to hit it off the fastball.

40
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Lou, did you find anything special about the knuckle curve that it breaking a pattern or just break down and out or down and in?

41
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Well, the early part of the ball game, the knuckle curve was quick and it was breaking down and away.

42
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Towards the middle part and latter part of the game, it slowed down somewhat and was hanging a little more.

43
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,000
We've been talking with Lou Pinella. Lou, of course, having an outstanding series. Thank you very much, Lou.

44
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Thank you, Rob.

45
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Well, the crowd is filing in and it looks as though we'll have another standing room only crowd on this very nice evening for baseball.

46
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:43,000
It's a little bit chilly. The temperature will be down in the high forties and also there's a little bit of a breeze going, but not too bad.

47
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:50,000
As we get set for the ball game, the Yankees are going with their same lineup, with the exception of the pitcher that they used in the opening game of this World Series.

48
00:05:50,000 --> 00:06:02,000
And the Dodgers have made just one change from their opening lineup. They are playing Rick Mundy in center field in place of a rookie Glenn Burke who started in the first game of this series.

49
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:09,000
The national anthem will be sung by Robert Merrill and Joe DiMaggio will be the man who will throw out the first ball.

50
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Don Sutton pitched the Dodgers back to even in the LCS, the league championship series and back to New York where they tend to fall one over the Yankees in LA.

51
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,000
And the fifth game, here's what he thought of Bert Hootens chances tonight.

52
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Well, I don't think that it bothered me that much on Sunday. I think that I have the approach to ball game that to those kind of games that it's more fun to play when there's something on the line.

53
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,000
And having watched Bert Hootens for the last couple of years, I think that he is a better pitcher when there's something on the line too.

54
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
So I think we're in good hands tonight.

55
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000
That's good news for Dodger fans and of course you are playing in this ballpark.

56
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Hootens with that knuckle curve throws a lot of ground balls as Casey Stengel would say so the ballpark shouldn't make a whole lot of difference to him.

57
00:06:49,000 --> 00:07:02,000
No, I don't think so and I think he's a tight pitcher that if he gets behind with the curve ball and they don't swing at it, he can pitch up and away with enough velocity to use that straight away center field in those alleys where you really have to hit a tee shot to get it out of here.

58
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:13,000
We talked with Lou Pinella and he said that he was surprised by the velocity of the fastball that Bert Hootens threw and that he felt that Yankees would be sitting on the fastball more and not worrying about the knuckle curve.

59
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Well, who knows if that's a con job that he's trying to get us to believe that he's going to do it or if it's a truth.

60
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:28,000
I think Bert Hootens gets underestimated by a lot of people. He has three good pitches. He has a change up that not too many people are really aware of who don't see him every day and he knows how to pitch.

61
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
So like I say, I think we're in good hands.

62
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Talking with Don Sutton. Don, thank you very much.

63
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Okay, Ralph.

64
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
We'll continue in just a moment.

65
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Nowadays, 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.

66
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:53,000
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.

67
00:07:53,000 --> 00:08:04,000
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.

68
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:14,000
At the Getty Oil Company, we have a gasoline that's perfect for your cars. Getty Unletted Regular.

69
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:25,000
With the octane performance of regular and the clean running smoothness of unleaded. But most important, we saw Getty Unletted Regular for less than most other major unleaded.

70
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:34,000
So now you can choose a car and a gasoline that give you more miles for your money. Getty Premium and Getty Unletted Regular.

71
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,000
We've got what's best for your car.

72
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:46,000
All the New York Yankees are being introduced right now. And of course, they get the thunderous applause from these partisan Yankee fans.

73
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:55,000
The Dodgers have just been introduced. And the Yankees are getting set to go here at home at Yankee Stadium in the sixth game of the seven game series.

74
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,000
If it goes one more, we'll have seven.

75
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:06,000
We'll return to the 1977 World Series in one minute on the CBS Radio Network. This is Ralph Kiner, CBS Radio Sports.

76
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
WCBS, New York.

77
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Getty Unletted, Polyester Court and economical four-ply nylon cord tires. Or go with a sporty look of wide letter whites.

78
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:52,000
They all incorporate general 62 years of tire building know-how. Quality, choice, price. General has the tire for you.

79
00:09:52,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Check your yellow pages for the general tire headquarters nearest you.

80
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Hello again from Yankee Stadium, where CBS Radio Sports is pleased to present the sixth game of the 1977 World Series between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers.

81
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:33,000
With Ross Porter and I'm Win Elliot. And things are just about ready to get underway as Bob Merrill sings the National Anthem.

82
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Join in the singing of our National Anthem, which will be left by Wepis Merrill.

83
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:41,000
And his red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

84
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

85
00:11:52,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,

86
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:27,000
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

87
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:36,000
We'll be right back to Yankee Stadium after this word.

88
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:42,000
If you're like most car owners, getting an oil change is a pain in the neck. Here's how to relieve that pain.

89
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Mobile one, the oil that does it all. Mobile one.

90
00:12:48,000 --> 00:13:01,000
With mobile one, you don't have to change oil every 3,000 miles or even every 7,500 miles. You can drive mobile one for an incredible 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, before changing oil.

91
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:12,000
If your car is new, use mobile one and just follow warranty rules. Mobile one offers relief in other ways. It saves you gas, reduces engine wear, and you don't have to change oil when the seasons change.

92
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:33,000
As for that other big pain, cold weather starting, mobile one helps start a well-tuned engine clear down to 35 degrees below zero. Why settle for partial relief when there's mobile one, the oil that does it all?

93
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Game 6 Yankee Stadium, win earlier with Ross Porter, we're just about to get underway and so the last of the necessities, the umpires at home plate, John McSherry, first base, Nester Shilak, second base, Ed Sudahl, Larry McCoy's at third base, left field, it's Jerry Dale's area, and Jim Evans is patrolling right field.

94
00:13:53,000 --> 00:14:05,000
And we're awaiting the toss of the first pitch, the ceremonial, that'll get this game underway, Game 6. I suspect you know that the Yankees have the lead in games, 3-2.

95
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:25,000
And I tell you that in all World Series, a team trailing by one game at this point in the series, one out of four, so the odds are four to one against the Dodgers if you want to put it that way. And I see him now in the Yankee dugout, the greatest living ball player, Joe DiMaggio.

96
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Comes out, waves his hand, you hear it, coming out is actually going to the mound. That's the first time I've ever seen that.

97
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Joe Di is actually going to the pitchers mound to deliver the first pitch and there's a little embarrassed grin on his face. Ben's down, not quite to the Rosenback, here it comes. God loves it.

98
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:18,000
You know, Joe for all the things he's done in the world of baseball, always has that shy, little embarrassed grin on his face. He's never quite relaxed in front of the public as he was in the batter's box or loping around in center field.

99
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:42,000
It's a very attractive little grin and there it was and he had a ball. Insofar as Joe Di can express the fact that he's having a ball, awfully nice guy, very contained however, contained to the point when he thought he had had it in baseball that he couldn't perform as the greatest in center field.

100
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:57,000
He packed it in, he didn't wait for anybody to tell him or anybody to offer him any lesser or offer him any more. He said, I've had it as long as I can't perform the way the public has come to accept my performance, I'm through.

101
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:17,000
So that was Joe Di through under field but obviously never through, at least in Yankee Stadium here and I suspect all over the world at baseball. And the Yankees take the field. It'll by Mike Torres, who is one of the four pitchers to go all the way in this series.

102
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:29,000
That's the first time that's ever happened or ever happened since 1971 that is. Torres and Gidry for the Yankees, Houten and Sutton for the Dodgers. And so it'll be two guys who went all the way.

103
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Houten and Torres, I might tell you that Torres with three days rest prefers it that way. In his winning streak of seven games earlier in August, that's the way he did it. As for Sutton, he's plenty rested. Whether it's a nickel curve, a knuckle curve or whatever, he's had five days to rest.

104
00:16:49,000 --> 00:17:06,000
So this is the game the Dodgers must win. You must be tired of hearing that. And this is the game that the Yankees feel, I think secretly, that it's got to knock out those guys from West Coast today or it may be too late.

105
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:20,000
It's what I said out in California. When you've thrown your best punch, he wobbles the knee shake, but he doesn't go down. You know, it's going to be a long night. Well, this may be the longest of all series, the seventh game type.

106
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Torres is out there warming up. About the seventh game. In 1963, the last time these two guys met, that is the Dodgers and the Yankees, it was the shortest possible of all series. Los Angeles won it, four nothing.

107
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Koufax vested or Koufax vested forward in the fourth game, and that was the famous game when Junior Gilliam hit the ball to third base, boyard threw it to Pepitone. Pepitone lost it in the sun, Gilliam went to third, and on the next play, sacrifice fly, he came in and that was the winning margin, two to one.

108
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:16,000
The Yankees, of course, have a large margin in play against the Dodgers, both from Brooklyn and Los Angeles. The Brooklyn style, they beat the Dodgers seven series to one. However, the Los Angeles group holds the edge in World Series play against the Yankees, as I've just explained.

109
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:33,000
So this is the tenth. The Yankees lead it at the moment, three to two, and everybody's tense with excitement here. The only thing that's changed here in New York, it's nighttime, it's on the cool side, and the cheers you will hear coming from the Yankee fans.

110
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,000
And by my side, ready to get underway with play by play, Ross Porter.

111
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Thank you very much, Gwynale, good evening everyone from Yankee Stadium, New York, where over 56,000 have crowded in on a cool autumn night. The temperature might be in the high 40s by the time this game is over.

112
00:18:49,000 --> 00:19:00,000
The wind blowing out toward left center field, as Mike Torres, the winner of Game 3, looks down to Thurman Munson and Dodger second baseman, Davey Loeb, stands in, and the sixth game is about to begin.

113
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Torres to the wind up, and the right handers first pitch is high for a ball, one ball and no strikes. Torres got Loeb's all four times he faced him in Los Angeles last Friday night, Davey 3 for 20 in the series.

114
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:24,000
He swings and misses a good fastball from Torres, and it's one ball and one strike. Torres lost Game 3 of the American League Championship Series in Kansas City, 6-2, but he pitched five and a third of an inch of shutout relief in the deciding game of the playoffs.

115
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:31,000
There's a ground ball by Loeb, shot the bucket in it short and he throws him out.

116
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:39,000
So one away for the Dodgers, that'll bring on shortstop Bill Russell. Russell like Loeb's was all for four against Torres the first time they faced in this World Series.

117
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Russell overall in the series is 4-4-23.

118
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Torres beat the Dodgers Friday night in Los Angeles 5-3, he allowed a 3 run home to Dusty Baker, but he struck out 9, breaking ball for a called strike to Russell.

119
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Nationally gun fired John McSherry working behind the plate tonight.

120
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Torres is ready, the right hander winds and delivers, and Russell grounds went out to the second baseman Willie Randolph, a two hopper, he feels it and throws out the Dodgers shortstop.

121
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:16,000
So two infield grounders off the bats of Loeb and Russell, two out and nobody on and up comes Reggie Smith, the bat left hander against Torres.

122
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Ross, one of the indications as to how effective Torres might be tonight is the speed with which he pitches, not the speed of his pitch, but how frequent his pitches come.

123
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,000
So far he's wasted no time and that's a good sign for Torres.

124
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Torres up to the wind up now and the pitch to Smith, a swing and a miss, a good high fastball. Reggie was 1-4-3 against Mike.

125
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:42,000
In game three, Torres retired the last 11 Dodgers to face him the other night.

126
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:49,000
He's working with three days rest, no wind up delivery, Smith grounds one to the left side, get back hands, it bobbles it, no play.

127
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Smith will be aboard, Bucky Dent the shortstop had to come back two strides to his right to get the high hopper, batted it down and we'll wait and see what the scoring will be.

128
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,000
It'll be an error on Bucky Dent.

129
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:11,000
So that's the third error of the World Series on the Yankees. Remember they didn't have any until the game in Los Angeles Sunday and then there were errors committed by Greg Nettles and Lou Pinella.

130
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:20,000
We've only had four errors in the series. So Smith is the first base runner of game six and that'll give Ron Sey at chance here in the first inning.

131
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Sey 0-3 against Torres, 3-4-18 overall in the series.

132
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Sey takes high and away for a ball.

133
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Two out and runner at first, no score just the start of the ball game.

134
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Torres to the stretch, looks at Smith, the pitch to say, fouled on. No the ball gets away from Munson and down to second goes Reggie Smith.

135
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:50,000
So there was no foul tip, the ball bounced off to the left of the plate, Munson went over to get it.

136
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:57,000
But Smith trots in the second base and the Dodgers have a managed scoring position on Thurmond Munson's pass ball.

137
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:02,000
We count to say one ball and one strike.

138
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Sey has appeared now in ten World Series games including 1974.

139
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:13,000
He's only 171 in the series in those two years.

140
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,000
The stretch by Torres, the 1-1 pitch.

141
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Slider misses outside ball to two balls and one strike.

142
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Sey during the series has only three hits and he's hitting just 167.

143
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:31,000
But Ron has been retired on outfield flies nine different times.

144
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Here's the 2-1 pitch.

145
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Low ball Thurry, Thurry in one.

146
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,000
On deck, Steve Garvey.

147
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:44,000
More runs have been scored in the first inning this year than in any other inning during the series.

148
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Dodgers have five, the Yankees have four.

149
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,000
The pitch to Sey.

150
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Low ball four, the Dodgers have two on with two out.

151
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:58,000
And this in general has been a two out series so much of the havoc has been raised by each club.

152
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Now in this particular inning, Thurry seemed to be going along very well.

153
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:07,000
He threw three ground balls with the third one to Reggie Smith, bounced on the lip of the grass,

154
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:15,000
fooled Dent and put him on and now they based on balls with the pass ball in between and the Dodgers are threatening.

155
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Steve Garvey's had seven hits in the series, the same as Thurman Munson of the Yankees, they've been the top men there.

156
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Garvey hitting 350 as he stands in.

157
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Torres has pitches low for a ball, one ball and no strikes.

158
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:33,000
So Torres, who should have been out of the inning, now has to work out of a scrape with Smith at second,

159
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:38,000
safe on an error by Dent and Sey aboard on five pitches on a walk.

160
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:44,000
The next one to Garvey, low ball two, two and oh.

161
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Surprisingly win in this World Series so far, almost half of the runs,

162
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:53,000
20 of the 42 we've seen have been scored in the first three innings.

163
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,000
Well it shows you what Jettards will do.

164
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Garvey waiting, Torres at the belt, but two oh pitch.

165
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Blind rod, base set down the right field line into the corner. That'll score Smith, say halfway to third.

166
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,000
As Jackson picks up the ball, Sey is 10 feet from third turning to coming home.

167
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:17,000
The throw will be nowhere, two to nothing Dodgers as Sey scores and Garvey winds up at third base with a triple.

168
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,000
So Garvey conked it right over the bag down the right field line scoring.

169
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Smith and Sey, two unearned runs, but the Dodgers lead it to nothing.

170
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Steve Garvey and analyzing the success of the Yankees early in the series says they're smart hitters.

171
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,000
They go with the pitch. They don't try to necessarily put it in the stands.

172
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:41,000
If it's outside, they go with it. Muntzin did that. Jackson did that.

173
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:46,000
So Steve came up and put his bat where his mouth had been.

174
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Chambles was playing him way off the line and had no chance.

175
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Here's Dusty Baker taking a fastball inside from Torres for a ball, one ball and no strikes.

176
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Baker collected three hits on Sunday and as we pointed out he had a three run homer off Torres in game three.

177
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,000
The next one to Dusty outside ball two, two and 0.

178
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:09,000
So with two out in the first inning and Torres sailing along, he got a ground ball to the shortstop, but Dent bobbled it.

179
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Sey walked and Garvey chased home two runs with a triple in the right field corner.

180
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Baker takes low ball three, three and 0 and Thurman Muntzin walks out in front of the plate hollers something to Mike Torres.

181
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:27,000
If you're going to lose the plate, the best place to lose it however is low.

182
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:34,000
He didn't quite get it low enough nor far enough outside to Garvey and that's why the Dodgers with the two on run, on run run.

183
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Let's see if they turn Baker loose. He's taking and it cost him right in there three and one.

184
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Dodgers got two runs here in the first inning of game one, but the Yankees came back to win that one in 12, four to three.

185
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:51,000
The three one pitched to Baker, pop foul back three and two.

186
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Torres out of Topeka, Kansas came to the Yankees in April from Oakland and won 14 ball games for New York.

187
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,000
He lost 12.

188
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Torres won seventh straight though between the last of July and the last of August.

189
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Garvey down the line from third, now time out for the moment.

190
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Torres checking something with plate on by John McSherry now back up on top and Baker waiting.

191
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:22,000
The one end up in the three two pitch, strike three call, slider got the outside corner, Baker yells at McSherry,

192
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:27,000
but Torres works himself back from a three and zero deficit to get the Dodger left fielder.

193
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:34,000
However Los Angeles breaks on top with two runs, one hit, Garvey's two run triple, a big error by Bucky Dent.

194
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:49,000
And at the end of a half inning in game six, the Dodgers two and a Yankees coming up to face Bert Houghton for the first time.

195
00:26:49,000 --> 00:27:12,000
When do you say, but wiser, whenever the moment is right for a great big?

196
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:20,000
When you're feeling easy after the word is done, what's the time to say it?

197
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Any time for right time, the king of years is waiting for your call.

198
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:34,000
When do you say, but wiser, what's the beautiful rainy time at all?

199
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:43,000
When you say, but wiser, you say it all.

200
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:51,000

202
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:06,000
If you've joined us late, the Dodgers scored twice in the top half of the first inning, two on-earn runs.

203
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Torres got the first two batters, Dossley, with ground balls, Reg Smith hit one of the shortstop Bucky Dent, it took a fairly bad bounce.

204
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:20,000
He foosled it nevertheless, then Mike tried to be careful with say through four low ones.

205
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Steve Garvey, who had been the leading hitter in terms of number of hits the Dodgers had, but only had one RBI to his credit.

206
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Then, pickled a low outside ball right down the right field line, he went the third, the two Dodgers in front of him scored and that was it.

207
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Dick Tidwell started to get up in the Yankee bullpen, but that was obviated by the fact that John Dusty Baker struck off.

208
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:50,000
And so it is, two nothing, as Bert Houten now comes to see if he can do it again.

209
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:59,000
He met the Yankees here and shut them out, or rather and defeated them, he went the entire nine innings, he had an easy time of it,

210
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:07,000
because the starter in that game, Catfish Hunter, was touched up for five runs in the first three innings and the game was over quite early.

211
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:13,000
However, Bert has been a consistent pitcher for the Dodgers all year round.

212
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:21,000
He's had five days rest, let's see what he does as Mickey Rivers comes to bat for the Yankees Ross.

213
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:28,000
This marks the third straight time at Yankee Stadium, all the games played in New York this year, that the Dodgers have scored two runs in the first inning.

214
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:36,000
It wasn't enough in game one, it was enough in game two when Houten won six to one with a complete game five hitter, a night in which he struck out eight.

215
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:46,000
The first pitch to Rivers is a pop flight on the left field line, Baker coming fast, Russell going out, Baker near the foul line, reaches across the line and makes the catch.

216
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Good catch by Dusty Baker, lost the hat and it took the left field umpire Jerry Dale to tell us about it, since Baker went out of sight,

217
00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:00,000
but a good one handed catch by Baker, apparently in foul territory, about about a strike.

218
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:08,000
I think he actually tumbled in over the low barrier there, the low stands in his momentum, carried him over.

219
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Yes, he did win over, it was sort of a half gainer that he did into the stands, but he had it.

220
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Here's what he ran off the Yankee, second to aceman, taking the knuckle curve low for the ball, one ball and no strikes.

221
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Houten in game two against the Yankees, retired 14 of the last 15 New York batters to face him.

222
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,000
Randolph takes the low ball too, two balls and no strikes.

223
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:34,000
The 79th World Series game ever played at Yankee Stadium since 1923, the year it opened.

224
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Game six, Yankees leading three games to two, the Dodgers ahead the night two nothing.

225
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Houten swings to the wind up and the two oh pitched to Randolph is high, ball three, three and oh.

226
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Houten has had a strikeout walk ratio this year of two and a half to one.

227
00:30:52,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Here's the three oh pitched to Randolph on the way, called strike, outside corner of the letters three and one.

228
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,000
One out, nobody on, bottom of the first, the three one pitch.

229
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Hutsmash to the left, the Russell he planks it down, turns and throws the Garvey in time, good play by Russell on a hot shot by Randolph.

230
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Two away in the New York first, just as the Dodgers had two out with nobody on in the top of the inning when they erupted for two.

231
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Thurman Munson, who's had a good series with seven base hits and 21 advance, strives up to the plate from the right side.

232
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Munson went one for four against Houten the first time they faced last week.

233
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:38,000
One of the reasons Houten was so effective against the Yankees in game two was the fact that he got Rivers 0 for four and Randolph 1 for four.

234
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:43,000
He kept the two leadoff mid off the base bats.

235
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,000
First win to Munson is low for a ball, one ball and no strikes.

236
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,000
Bert Houten has not lost a game in over two months, it's been ten weeks.

237
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,000
August the 11th, the last time he fell Cincinnati beat him.

238
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:03,000
The 1-0 pitch to Munson, tapped out to the shortstop, Russell charges, gloves, one handed, throws the Garvey, pulled him off the Garvey came back and tagged the bag.

239
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Munson is gone and so are the Yankees in order.

240
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,000
And at the end of one inning in game six, Dodgers two, Yankees nothing.

241
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:27,000
When you're buying or leasing a new car or truck, Ford Credit wants to give you credit for being you.

242
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,000
Maybe you're wondering just who is Ford Credit?

243
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Well our full name is Ford Motor Credit Company and we're the sales financing subsidiary of Ford Motor Company.

244
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:41,000
In other words, we're the people who want to give you credit on any Ford or Lincoln Mercury product.

245
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:49,000
So have your dealer call us if you're buying or leasing a new Ford, Lincoln or Mercury car, a Ford truck, tractor or recreational vehicle.

246
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:58,000
You see, we believe in the people who buy Ford products and you can believe we'll do everything we can to put you on wheels fast.

247
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:11,000
When you're buying or leasing a new car or truck, Ford Credit wants to give you credit for being you.

248
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,000
And now a commercial from the makers of Bayer Aspirin.

249
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:20,000
In Washington, the Food and Drug Administration released important news about aspirin and aspirin substitutes.

250
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:27,000
The news release reports that a panel of medical experts in one of their findings found no basis for the claim that aspirin substitutes

251
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,000
are safer than aspirin.

252
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,000
That's right. Aspirin substitutes were not found safer than aspirin.

253
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,000
When you want relief, get Bayer aspirin.

254
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:42,000
Bayer has relieved more pain than any medication in history. Use only as directed.

255
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,000
Going into the top of the second hit, Yankee Stadium gained number six.

256
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
It's Dodgers two to nothing over the Yankees.

257
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Mike Torres against Burt Hoot and both pitchers pitched well.

258
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Torres victimized by an error at short, a walk and then a triple down the right field line by Steve Garvey.

259
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Both runs scoring unearned.

260
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Hootin had no problems with the top three in the Yankee batting order, a foul fly off of rivers and then two ground balls.

261
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Now the Dodgers to bat for their half of the second inning.

262
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Rick Mundy, Steve Yeager and Burt Hootin will face Mike Torres as we go to the second.

263
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Hootin only threw eight pitches in the first inning to the Yankees.

264
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Mundy 0-4-4 against Torres in game three is 1-4-7 in the series.

265
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Mundy's had the last two games off. He hits a ground ball to Chambliss at first.

266
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Crystal carried over the bag, one away.

267
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:45,000
Steve Yeager has been a pleasant addition to the Dodger attack here in the playoffs and also in the World Series.

268
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Yeager hit 16 home runs during the regular season.

269
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,000
But here in the World Series, he has five runs battered in.

270
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,000
He and Dusty Baker had the most of the two.

271
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Any two players in the series were either team.

272
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:02,000
And Yeager drove in four of those five runs. Sunday the Dodgers did him in game five.

273
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:07,000
The three-run homer of Don Gallop the Big Blow giving the Dodgers a five-nothing lead in the fourth inning that day.

274
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Here's a hopper foul up along third.

275
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Preston Gomez feels that he's coaching a third again for the Dodgers.

276
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Jim Gilliam, who celebrated his 49th birthday yesterday in the coaching lines at first for Los Angeles.

277
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Two nothing Dodgers as Steve Garvey went the other way in the first inning.

278
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Ripped one past the first base bag into the corner, scores Smith and Sey.

279
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:38,000
Yeager takes low for a ball, one ball and one strike.

280
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:44,000
There have been 39 World Series which reached the sixth game and in 26th of the 39, two-thirds of them,

281
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,000
the trailing team forced a deciding seventh game.

282
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:51,000
There's a roller up along third. It goes foul in the last 10 feet before Nettles feels it.

283
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,000
So Yeager will have to come back to count one and two.

284
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:59,000
Yeager is no gazelle yet he would have beaten that one out had it been fair.

285
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:07,000
And I notice that Greg Nettles in regards to the temperature tonight in between pitches puts both his hands in his armpits

286
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:12,000
to keep them warm and of course the batters come out thoroughly garb in those golf gloves.

287
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,000
This is not Los Angeles weather.

288
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:20,000
It does Ross mentioned earlier it probably will get down to about 40, no precipitation,

289
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,000
but there'll be a little creaky out there.

290
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Torres ahead on the count of Yeager, one ball and two strikes. The pitch got him swinging.

291
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Torres gets his second strike out. He closed out Baker in the first inning.

292
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,000
Now with two away, Bert Houten will come up.

293
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Houten was 0 for three as a batter in game two.

294
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,000
Houten, 27 year old, former University of Texas All-America.

295
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,000
Once pitched a no-hitter for the Chicago Cubs.

296
00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:00,000
And he said that was on a cold night against Philadelphia.

297
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Torres pitches Luke to right field.

298
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Reggie Jackson coming up. He's there now. One hand zip to the final out.

299
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Torres didn't have to throw too many pitches himself in the second inning.

300
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,000
He gets the Dodgers easily at the end of an inning and a half.

301
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Dodgers two, Yankee is nothing.

302
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Take your contact. Take it now.

303
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,000
Give your call.

304
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Can your cold medicine fight the congestion, shrink the swollen membranes,

305
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:30,000
help relieve the runny, sneezey, cloggy misery caused by every known cold virus? Are you sure?

306
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Contact, Ham. Today's contact does all that up to 12 hours, all day, all night.

307
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,000
No matter what cold virus attacks, that's the one that contacts.

308
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,000
Give your call to contact.

309
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,000
Take only his direct.

310
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,000
Looks like there's going to be some fingernail biting at the stadium here tonight.

311
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Of course, there's plenty of sports action here on CBS Radio all the time.

312
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,000
The weekend of January 14th and 15th, for instance.

313
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,000
I'm going to have a Super Bowl weekend for you.

314
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:04,000
Seventeen broadcasts recalling all the color of Super Bowl's past and the one that's growing now.

315
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Then on Sunday, January 15th, the spectacular game itself, pro football for you,

316
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,000
when CBS Radio Sports brings you the Super Bowl.

317
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,000
That from New Orleans.

318
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,000
Well, as we look out at the field and we hear the murmur of the crowd in the back,

319
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,000
Hooten has taken his time getting back to the Dodger dugout,

320
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,000
make his way to the mound.

321
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:29,000
Now he's manicuring the spikes because he was the last batter up,

322
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:34,000
though he didn't run very vigorously on that little loop or to right field.

323
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Nevertheless, it's always the pitcher's prerogative to take his time,

324
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,000
presumably to conserve his energy.

325
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,000
He's the guy that does the most work out there.

326
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Right now, he's doing a deep knee bend or two.

327
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Hooten is had a very successful season. You'd never know it when you talk to him.

328
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,000
Or does he react that way? I understand his nickname is happy.

329
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Give him to him by Tom LaSorda, basically because he never smiles.

330
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,000
Well, when you're winning, you don't have to smile.

331
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:08,000
LaSorda, for instance, will tell you, interminably, most of the time,

332
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:12,000
that he loves his job and he loves his players and he loves the game.

333
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,000
I had a chance to ask him, has he ever had a losing season?

334
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,000
I was wondering how much of a lover he would be there.

335
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:24,000
He looked at me and surprised, mocked, surprised and said, losing season, what's that?

336
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Okay, he maintained that he did.

337
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:33,000
Well, you hear the response to the right fielder, number 44, Reggie Jackson.

338
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,000
Well, LaSorda wasn't exactly honest with you,

339
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:41,000
when because he did have a club that spoke hand in 1971 that finished third

340
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:45,000
and lost seven more than they won.

341
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,000
He's had winners everywhere else.

342
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,000
I would suspect he would maintain a spoke hand aside,

343
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,000
that that wasn't part of the United States or something.

344
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Reggie Jackson has had five hits in the last three series games

345
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,000
and he scored two runs in each of those three.

346
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,000
He takes a high pitch from Hootin for a ball, one and a half.

347
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,000
Reggie's six for 17 in the series, three runs battered in.

348
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,000
Jackson with two home runs.

349
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:11,000
The next one from Hootin, inside for ball two, two and a half.

350
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Jackson was 0 for four against Hootin, the first time they faced here last Wednesday night.

351
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,000
Two balls and no strikes to Reggie Jackson leading off in the last of the second.

352
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Hootin's pitches alone outside ball three, three and a half.

353
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:29,000
Hootin finished third this year in the National League and earned a run average.

354
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,000
He wound up the year at 2.62.

355
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Only John Candelaria of the Pirates and Tom Siever of the Mets and then Reds had a better ERA.

356
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:42,000
The 3-0 pitch to Reggie, a high ball four and four pitches. Jackson walks.

357
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,000
And the fact that he gets on base at this particular instant

358
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000
makes him the most popular man in town.

359
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:55,000
He's been quoted, misquoted, listened to, unlistened to.

360
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,000
You know the story.

361
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Chris Chambliss was also 0 for four against Hootin in game two.

362
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,000
Chris has had five hits in the series and 20 at bats.

363
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Bird Hootin out of a stretch.

364
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,000
The pitch to the Yankee first baseman is low.

365
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Ball one.

366
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,000
So Hootin is missed on five straight, opening up the second inning.

367
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Dodgers two Yankees nothing with that one hit in the game, a two run triple

368
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,000
over the first base bag by Steve Garvey of the Dodgers in the first inning.

369
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,000
The next one to Chambliss sets a strike on the inside corner at the belt

370
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,000
and it's one ball and one strike.

371
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,000
I suspect the Yankee stadium crowd is trying to emulate the veteran stadium crowd

372
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:37,000
in Philadelphia when Hootin was presumably upset by the constant noise.

373
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,000
Now the stretch by Hootin. He looks at Jackson.

374
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,000
There goes Reggie Abloh. The pitch is low and outside and Jackson comes back to the bat.

375
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Two balls and one strike to Chris Chambliss with Greg Nettles on deck.

376
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Hootin is ready working quickly.

377
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,000
Two one pitch to Chambliss.

378
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,000
A drive the right center field indeed.

379
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:22,000
Way back going, going a home run for Chris Chambliss and we're tied to two.

380
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:28,000
That's the first real blow that Chris Chambliss has struck in the series.

381
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:35,000
He's got the back part of the bat on it and smashed it 385 feet into the right center field stand.

382
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:40,000
And the Yankee bet is a whirlpool of activity.

383
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:46,000
And Tom Lasorda, no that's Red Adams, comes out to speak to the Dodger pitcher.

384
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:52,000
I noticed just before Chambliss took his place at bat, Billy Martin was up on the top step.

385
00:42:52,000 --> 00:43:00,000
We're dragging furiously, fake and false and real signs, giving him the rolling fist, the fight sign.

386
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Billy, as you probably have heard, got a vote of confidence from owner Steinbrenner and General Manager Gabe Paul this afternoon.

387
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:14,000
A bonus for the year. He will be retained for the remaining two years of his contract.

388
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Red Adams has come out to settle down for aided and abetted in part by the Yankee Stadium, which has thrown the unrolling kind of tissue paper up.

389
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:40,000
And the stadium group has had to go out and clear the field and the den has not let up as it is now 2 to no outs second inning Yankee's at bat and Ross, who is it?

390
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:50,000
In the associate's throwing win in the Dodger bullpen, Chris Chambliss, who had 17 home runs during the American League season, has noted it with a two run blast to right center.

391
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:54,000
Greg Nettles takes the knuckle curve low for a ball, one ball and no strikes.

392
00:43:54,000 --> 00:44:01,000
Houten only gave up 14 home runs during the National League season. That was the second low total on the Dodger staff.

393
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,000
Tommy John gave up only 12.

394
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:11,000
Here is Nettles 4 for 17 in the series. The ground smashed at Garvey. One handed behind the bag and carries it over one away.

395
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:16,000
So Nettles ripped it, but right at Garvey and we have one gone in the New York second inning.

396
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:23,000
And this is Lou Ponella. That is the, ooh, you hear in the background. That's Lou, not Boo.

397
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:29,000
A knuckle ball, whether it's a curve or just an inexplicable dancer, when it doesn't break is duck soup.

398
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,000
And it looked like Chambliss caught one that didn't do any breaking.

399
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:37,000
He got all of it and drove it at least 400 feet into the right center field seats.

400
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:43,000
Lou Ponella, one for three against Houten in the first outing between the two fouls one back for a strike.

401
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:52,000
Ponella, 6 for 19 on the series, but Lou fighting a mild slump at the moment. He's 0 for 7.

402
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,000
2-2, bottom of the second.

403
00:44:54,000 --> 00:45:02,000
Bird hit into the wind up and the 0-1 pitch to Ponella, high pop fly on a middle of the infield, and a shot a right center.

404
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Reggie Smith coming in calling for it, loses the cap and makes the catch.

405
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:10,000
Two away as Ponella pops up to Smith. Here's shortstop Bucky Dent.

406
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,000
Bucky Dent.

407
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,000
Bucky Dent.

408
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:20,000
It was Dent's two out error in the first inning, which set up the Dodger two run salvo.

409
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:29,000
Dent, Boblin, Reggie Smith hopper, and then after Ron Saywalk, Garvey whacked the triple down the right field line to chase in two.

410
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:34,000
Houten to the wind up to pitch the Dent, knuckle curve swung on a missed strike one.

411
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:39,000
Dent, 1 for 2 against Houten in the series and 5 for 17 against Dodger pitching.

412
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,000
Crowds over from the right side, hits the ground ball at the Davey looks.

413
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,000
Two hopper, Davey's got it and throws him out.

414
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:48,000
So Houten settles down after Chambliss' two run homer.

415
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,000
Dent locks the ball again. Two runs, one hit, nobody left.

416
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:56,000
At the end of two innings in game six, Dodger's two Yankees two.

417
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,000
Music playing

418
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Someday you'll own

419
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,000
Someday you'll own

420
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:13,000
Sooner or later you'll own generals

421
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Don't pay extra for long mileage tires until you see the expert at your nearest general tire headquarters.

422
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,000
They've got the famous General Dual Steel II radial.

423
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:31,000
The same tire that you'll see on many of Detroit's finest cars at a price that's right for today's budget.

424
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:38,000
You get two steel belts, radial ply construction, and smooth riding polyester cord.

425
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:45,000
Stop in today. Check your yellow pages for the general tire headquarters nearest you.

426
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,000
Sooner or later you'll own generals

427
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:55,000
Sooner or later you'll own generals

428
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:06,000
Okay, we're about to go to the top of the third and both pitchers now are even.

429
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Mike Torres was touched for a triple after an era and a walk that put him in jeopardy.

430
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:18,000
Then Bert Houten having walked Jackson, a home run by Shambles.

431
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:22,000
So it was really only one hit apiece.

432
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:30,000
You may missus Carter came all the way from California.

433
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:36,000
He's really wrapped up in a series win and this Carter is here to see game six.

434
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:40,000
As he was for games four and five in Los Angeles.

435
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:46,000
Another warm welcome for another guest seated near home.

436
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:51,000
The Attorney General of the United States, Mr. Griffin Bell.

437
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:59,000
Attorney General Griffin Bell is also here at Yankee Stadium tonight along with 56,000 plus other baseball fans.

438
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:04,000
And they're seeing a stirring start to game six of the 1977 classic.

439
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:09,000
Dodger is getting two runs in the first on an era walk and Steve Garvey's triple.

440
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:15,000
And the Yankees coming back to square it in the second on a walk and a two run home run by Chris Shambles.

441
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:23,000
And out in Southern California they may be about to revoke Chris Shambles' UCLA alumni card.

442
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,000
Here's Davey Loek taking loan outside from Mike Torres as we go to the third inning.

443
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:31,000
The third inning has been the most productive of the World Series so far for the Dodgers.

444
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,000
They have scored seven runs in the third inning.

445
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,000
Loek's foul is one back. One ball one strike.

446
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:43,000
Ross you sound like they may issue you a UCLA card unless maybe you already have one I don't know.

447
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:47,000
No, no. Mine is at the University of Oklahoma win.

448
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,000
The next pitch to Loek's popped up foul.

449
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,000
It'll make the stands off to the right back out of play.

450
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,000
One ball and two strikes to Loek's.

451
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:59,000
Davey granted out the bucket dent to open the ball game.

452
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:05,000
The last time a World Series was completed in six games was 18 years ago.

453
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,000
Can you believe that?

454
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,000
And the Dodgers took the White Sox in 1959 four games to two.

455
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:14,000
Torres is one two pitch to Loek's has hammered foul back on the screen again.

456
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,000
So the count remains the same.

457
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,000
18 years ago. I'm not that old.

458
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:28,000
I found it hard to believe that ever since them have all gone four five or seven.

459
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,000
Mike Torres back even in the ball game.

460
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:35,000
Steps up on the slab looks down the Munson now ready to go to work.

461
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:44,000
Six foot five inch right hander deals one to the Loek's low ball two two and two.

462
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,000
Two runs one hit for each team.

463
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:50,000
Yankees have an error that helped cost them two runs.

464
00:49:50,000 --> 00:50:01,000
Loek's wetting the two two pitch low outside ball three three and two.

465
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:05,000
Torres threw a hundred and thirty three pitches in game three so they'll watch him closely.

466
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,000
There's a hopper back the Torres reaches up and loves it turns and throws the

467
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:18,000
channels in the dirt.

468
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,000
And then he almost threw it away but channels dug it out.

469
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,000
And that went away.

470
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,000
Here's Russell.

471
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,000
That was not an easy play on either end.

472
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:28,000
He leaped up and then it seemed to me he aimed the ball instead of just chucking it over there.

473
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:35,000
And now Chris Chandler says the home run and the out quencher on Davey Loep's the young man from Providence, Rhode Island.

474
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,000
Who it's often been said as Dave goes so go the Dodgers.

475
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:43,000
Russell granted out the second his first time up Billy bounces one of the shortstop dent this time.

476
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:51,000
Bucky up throwing to away.

477
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:57,000
Reggie Smith got things started for the Dodgers in the first inning with his hopper to the left side which didn't

478
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,000
bop old for the error.

479
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:03,000
Reggie much better percentage hitter and power hitter from that left side.

480
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:09,000
And I think by all odds his home run in the second game has been the longest hit of the series.

481
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,000
Reggie takes low for a ball.

482
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:18,000
Smith leads the Dodgers in runs during the series with six now including the one tonight in the six games.

483
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,000
Torres is one oh pitch.

484
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:20,000
He's swung on a miss.

485
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Good fastball by Mike.

486
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Billy Martin was not going to start Torres tonight but he was told that figure was index finger ten to nine.

487
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,000
This was not a hundred percent healed so he went back to Mike.

488
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:33,000
The one one pitch to Smith.

489
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:38,000
There's a drive to center field and deep rivers turns that was going to be gone again in the right center field.

490
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:45,000
The big and the Dodgers regain the lead three to two on Reggie Smith's third home run of the World Series.

491
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:53,000
That was almost exactly where the one he hit in the second game was deposited well over the three hundred and eighty five foot mark

492
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,000
easily four hundred.

493
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,000
The fact part of the bat you could tell from the crack in the trajectory.

494
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,000
There was no question about it at all.

495
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:04,000
And so the Dodgers go back into the lead three to two.

496
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:12,000
The Dodgers now have had nine home runs in the series the most since the nineteen fifty five Brooklyn Dodgers had nine.

497
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:21,000
And so the nine here this year by the Dodgers equals the National League high the nineteen fifty seven Braves that had eight home runs.

498
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:30,000
Ron say takes inside for a ball the nineteen fifty six Yankees all the all time record twelve home runs in a series.

499
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:34,000
Say take some outside corner for a strike one ball and one strike.

500
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:45,000
So three to Los Angeles as Reggie Smith unloads say waiting one on one.

501
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:50,000
The pitch from Torres is high inside two and one.

502
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:57,000
The Dodgers then have scored all three of their runs here tonight after two or out.

503
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:03,000
Say wait here's the two one pitch here's a ground blow to the left side nettles bubbles and has no play.

504
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:07,000
Greg runs to his left in front of Dent to get his glove on the ball.

505
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:13,000
And while prone tried to come up and throw and couldn't do it it'll be a base hit for Ron say.

506
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:19,000
So say who walked and scored in the first inning is on again with two out here in the third three hits now for the Dodgers.

507
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,000
Mike Torres.

508
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:28,000
I'm not sure that Greg hadn't let it go through that was in position to feel the ball but whether his long throw would have been quick enough.

509
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,000
I'm not sure.

510
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:39,000
It's a very good point when it also reminds us of the ball hit out of Los Angeles in game three when say cut in front of Russell and the ball go off his glove where Russell had been allowed to get the ball.

511
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,000
They would have had probably forced out at second at worst.

512
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,000
So the little things all add up in a great classic like this.

513
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:50,000
Here's Garvey who tripled into his first time up. Torres misses outside for a ball.

514
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,000
Let's pause five seconds for station identification.

515
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,000
This is the CBS radio network.

516
00:53:55,000 --> 00:54:01,000
WCBS New York.

517
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:05,000
The 1 0 pitch to Garvey inside ball two to an O.

518
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,000
No activity now in either bullpen.

519
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:12,000
Dodgers three Yankees to the top of the third inning in New York.

520
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:18,000
Game six if there's a game seven will be on the air tomorrow night on CBS at 8 0 7 Eastern time.

521
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:25,000
Torres is set to pitch to Garvey foul back.

522
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:30,000
Tommy John would pitch game seven if there is one for Los Angeles and run.

523
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,000
Get ready.

524
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:37,000
Apparently now is Billy Martin's choice for game seven.

525
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,000
Although there were reports here yesterday Martin wouldn't use good ring game seven.

526
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,000
Garvey's floods one to center field and deep but rivers going back.

527
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,000
You'll have a play in front of the warning track and make the gap.

528
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,000
The Garvey had a close to 400 feet.

529
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:53,000
The deepest part one of the deepest parts of the ballpark and an easy out for Mickey Rivers.

530
00:54:53,000 --> 00:55:06,000
The Dodgers though go back in front one run two hits one left at the end of two and a half innings Dodgers three Yankees to.

531
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:10,000
In an age when so many products do only what they have to.

532
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,000
It's almost a shock to find one that does a lot more.

533
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:32,000
Mobile one the oil that does it all mobile one is a synthetic motor oil made by man to do things mother nature never dreamed of mobile one makes your gas go farther and you can drive mobile one for 15000 miles or one year whichever comes first without an oil change.

534
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:47,000
If your car is new use mobile one and just follow warranty rules. Mobile one also reduces engine wear helps your engine run clean and work so well in hot weather that you don't have to change oil when the seasons change and mobile one can help start a well.

535
00:55:47,000 --> 00:56:06,000
The Masters racing the triple crown baseball all star league championships and next year's World Series in case you like tennis to how about the U.S. Open if sports turns on turn to CBS radio sports all year long on many of these CBS radio network stations.

536
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:27,000
So it's Reggie Smith who's done it before and he did it again in that third inning of the Dodger half the one blow putting the Dodgers back up on top reruns to the Yankees to 3 3 0 the score for Dodgers 2 1 1 1 error by Bucky Dent the line for the Yankees.

537
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:43,000
OK Ross Mike Torres swings and misses the first pitch from Bert Houten as we go to the Yankee half of the third inning. The Ark is not scored in this series in the third inning or in the ninth and Torres takes high for the ball one on one.

538
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:54,000
Los Angeles has been blanked in the seventh and eighth innings. Now the wind up by Bert Houten and here comes the one one pitch it's swinging a miss strike two one and two.

539
00:56:54,000 --> 00:57:07,000
Torres was all for three when he hit in game through in Los Angeles. Houten ready the one two pitch knuckle curve got him swinging one out on the Yankee third inning for Bert Houten his first strike out of the game.

540
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:25,000
He had eight remember the first time he faced New York. Here's Mickey Rivers who fouled out the Dusty Baker in the first inning. Baker reaching into the front row of the seats along the left field line to make the catch.

541
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:42,000
He's not had a hit in his last eight at bats against the Dodgers. He bounced up along the first baseline Laurel foul. Mickey now four for twenty four in the series. Of course when Rivers gets on the Yankee offense is certainly boosted and encouraged.

542
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:52,000
He does cause the defense to anticipate so many possibilities with him on first day almost every single becomes a double.

543
00:57:52,000 --> 00:58:06,000
Ron say playing way in the grass for Rivers here's Houten one strike pitch knuckle curve in the dirt one and one until Chambliss hit the two run homer in the second. No Yankee had driven in more than one run in any World Series game this year.

544
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:26,000
Rivers fouls it out of play along the left field line and it's one ball and two strikes. So the Yankees over the last week have had a lot of people with RBI totals of one but nobody had to until Chambliss. Rivers takes way upstairs ball two two balls and two strikes from Houten.

545
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:47,000
Of course the Dodgers about score the Yankees prior to tonight twenty four to eighteen. It's been a very even series at the plate to pitch the Rivers foul back our way upstairs. Still to.

546
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:58,000
Dodgers now have scored 17 of their twenty seven runs in the series as the result of home runs. Rivers bounces one out toward Davey Lopes. Lopes has got the high hopper and throws him out.

547
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:09,000
So two way in the New York third inning. Second baseman Willie Roundoff grounded at the short his first time up.

548
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:21,000
I think back to the 1960 World Series when remember the pirates and Yankees went around and around the Yankees wound up outscoring the pirates fifty five to twenty seven in Pittsburgh when the World Championship.

549
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:32,000
So the run sometimes that doesn't tell all the story pitch inside the Randolph the Yankees that year won sixteen to three ten to nothing and twelve to nothing at Pittsburgh one of the other four games.

550
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:40,000
One of the pitch to Randolph five ball two there is an instance of too much of a good thing.

551
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:48,000
Well Yankees have won all the close games this year the Dodgers have won the two lopsided contest. Randolph takes a high strike two and one.

552
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:59,000
New York is one by one run in twelve innings by two runs by two runs Los Angeles is one by five runs and by six runs.

553
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:06,000
Two balls and one strike the Yankees second baseman Willie Randolph Bert Houten's pitch popped up down the middle of the diamond Rick Monday coming in.

554
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:15,000
Davey Lopes going out. Lopes gives way. Monday loses the cap and makes the catch and Bert Houten just as he did in the first inning gets the Yankees in order in the third.

555
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:22,000
And at the end of three innings in game six at Yankee Stadium is the Dodgers three the Yankees two.

556
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:35,000
Hello Mama hello Papa greetings from camp. We had an old day. Cook out here later on I got a case of diarrhea.

557
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:46,000
I was feeling kind of dismal. Counselor gave me Pepto Bismol. Now I'm feeling much much better. That's the news for now.

558
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:53,000
I hope you liked my letter. Pepto Bismol for common diarrhea read and follow label directions.

559
01:00:53,000 --> 01:01:06,000
Now for a brief update from CBS News. I'm David Jackson reporting on the CBS Radio Network a clarification today from the State Department on U.S.

560
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:14,000
Israeli working papers for Geneva peace talks. The U.S. says Israel has the right to block participation by the PLO.

561
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:23,000
A hero's welcome today in Frankfurt for West German commandos returning from Somalia after storming a hijacked airliner and freeing 86 hostages.

562
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:36,000
Violent demonstrations broke out in Rome and Athens leftists protesting the commando raid. And in Washington a Pentagon spokesman says the United States has specially trained forces prepared to cope with terrorist incidents.

563
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:44,000
House Senate conferees working toward a compromise energy bill ended their first day of debate today at odds on the first issue discussed.

564
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:54,000
Should utility companies finance and install home insulation the House says yes the Senate no. A House committee today approved an extra $500 million for the Postal Service.

565
01:01:54,000 --> 01:02:05,000
The money is to keep some small town post offices open and keep the mail coming on Saturdays. Now back to the World Series in New York I'm David Jackson CBS News.

566
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:14,000
A comparatively quiet Yankee Stadium as we've gone through the first three innings here in game number six with the Dodgers holding a three to two lead.

567
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:22,000
Reggie Smith's third home run of the series the first of the night giving the L.A.'s that lead in the top of the third as Mike Torres goes to work Ross.

568
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:29,000
Dusty Baker leads off he struck out his first time up he checks his swing on a high pitch from Torres for ball one one and oh.

569
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:41,000
The team which has scored first has won four of the five series games the last four Baker takes inside ball two to an old the Dodgers led here two to nothing in game one as we told you.

570
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:54,000
But the Yankees came back to win that one in twelve innings four to three. Torres is two old pitches outside the Dusty for ball three and it's three and oh Baker steps out looks down to Preston Gomez to see if they might let him swing three and oh.

571
01:02:54,000 --> 01:03:11,000
Monday and Yeager to follow in the Los Angeles for the pitch called strike three and one three runs three hits no errors for the Dodgers two runs one hit one error for the Yankees Mike Torres is three one pitch popped into the right center field.

572
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:25,000
Fairly deep though the ball carrying Reggie Jackson going back to the warning track and got a play so that one fooled me when I was headed didn't look like I would carry that far. The Jackson wound up about three hundred and seventy five feet or so away making the catch and Baker went the opposite way.

573
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:40,000
He's been one of the few Dodgers the last couple of days to try to go to right center field. The length of that blow didn't fool Billy Martin he's got Dick Tidrow up warming up in the Yankee bullpen.

574
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:50,000
Rick Monday bounced out to Chris Chambliss his first time up Chris playing deep on the dirt part of the infield at first and Monday takes a call strike from Torres.

575
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:55,000
If you join us late the Dodgers got two runs after two men were retired in the first inning.

576
01:03:55,000 --> 01:04:07,000
Monday takes inside and it's one and one. Smith was aboard on Bucky Dent's air at shortstop Ron say walked and Steve Garvey line went over the first base bag into the right field corner to drive in two runs.

577
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:17,000
Yankee's got two in the second on Jackson's walk and Chris Chambliss is long homer. Monday lines a base head over shortstop in the left field and the Dodgers have their fourth hit on Mike Torres.

578
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:34,000
Vanilla falls down but he gets the ball back in and Monday with a long sweep around first holds on with a single Dodgers have had a hit now and every inning except the second near Steve Yeager.

579
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:45,000
Yeager was one of Mike Torres's two strikeout victims after now when he went down swinging in the second inning Baker had been called out in the first.

580
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:52,000
Torres is pitched to Yeager the smash past third fair ball off the railing on left field. Here's Monday on the way to third base.

581
01:04:52,000 --> 01:05:05,000
Penelope throwing a second they got a shot at Yeager. He is out at second base. Good throw by Lou Penelope played the carom off the railing and throughout the Dodger catcher who went in stomach first.

582
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:13,000
But Billy Martin is on the way out to the mound and even though Bird Ooton is due up it could be that Billy thinks Mike Torres is going far enough.

583
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:23,000
So Lou Penelope with a great defensive play for the Yankees. Otherwise the Dodgers would have had two men in scoring position with one out.

584
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:38,000
But that's what you call being familiar with the grounds. Penelope has played that bounce before and he was honored in a hurry and the perfect strike in the second baseman will he ran off and they got Mike Steve Yeager.

585
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:44,000
So Mike Torres is aided by a great throw by Penelope and Billy Martin is going to stay with him as Bird Ooton comes up.

586
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:56,000
I remember a play in the playoffs in the American League where Lou was not quite that gracious in his playing the bounce. He had thought a fan touched it and a lally gag to throw in and everybody was running around like mad.

587
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,000
Nobody had touched it. So you know they all even up I guess.

588
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:05,000
Here's Ooton with Monday at third and two out Torres delivers and the pitch is low for the ball one and all.

589
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:09,000
Ooton had a soft fly ball to Reggie Jackson his first time up tonight.

590
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:16,000
So two out a runner at third instead of second and third and one out called strike the Hootman Penise and it's one and one.

591
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:21,000
So that could be a big play in this ball game. Only time will tell.

592
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:26,000
Five hits now for the Dodgers off Torres including two this inning.

593
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:31,000
But all Los Angeles has to show for it as a runner at third with two away.

594
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:38,000
And Steve Yeager is training out to be the big batter for the Dodgers and the other six to the series to less than Garvey.

595
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:44,000
Hootman swings through a pitch from Torres and it's one ball and two strikes when the Yankees bat on the fourth.

596
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:51,000
They'll soon up Thurman Munson Reggie Jackson and Chris Chambliss three to two Dodgers in the top of the fourth inning Monday down the line.

597
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:56,000
The one two pitch the Hootman got him swinging.

598
01:06:56,000 --> 01:07:12,000
So Torres thanks to a fine play by Lou Pinella on Yeager's base hit gets the Dodgers no runs to hits one left at the end of three and a half innings in game six Dodgers three Yankees two.

599
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:19,000
American Motors proudly announces an exciting all new luxury compact the AMC Concorde DL.

600
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:26,000
There's never been a car quite like this before because when American Motors builds a luxury compact the luxury is standard.

605
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:27,000
Remember Super Bowl Sunday January 15 CBS Radio Sports is going to be on hand to provide you with all the play by play action from New Orleans on most of these CBS radio network stations.

606
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:38,000
Bert Hooten once again the last batter in the inning takes the pitchers prerogative he'd been the last batter in the second inning as he was in this inning.

607
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:51,000
And he's lullagagging out to the mound after a few deep breaths there in the dugout just taking his time he's going to try to go nine of course and anything he can keep from doing other than pitching is to his advantage.

608
01:08:51,000 --> 01:09:06,000
As for Mike Torres his infield did them in in the first inning on a lot to honor and runs well on that fourth inning they can snap back and help them out that to base blow or normally it would have been with Steve Yeager's glass the left field.

609
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:26,000
And then the ball and he threw out Steve Yeager who is not exactly a sprinter and that got Torres out of the inning that and the National League's refusal to have a D.H. didn't help their cause that time.

610
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:39,000
That's not the point but that's what happened. So as we go into the last half of the fourth ritual Reggie Smith's home run in the third inning the Dodgers lead it three to two and the Yankees captain to the play.

611
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:56,000
Thurman Mutson has a nine game hitting string in World Series competition. He's hit safely in nine of the 10 postseason games this year hitting it a three 10 clip coming to play off. Mutson granted out the short his first time up.

612
01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:09,000
Thurman has struck out seven times in the series. That's the most of any player on either team. Herditton goes to the wind up with a three to two lead and delivers and off speed pitches high for a ball one and all.

613
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:24,000
He used only 36 pitches in the first three innings. Chris Chambliss ripped him for a two run homer in the second but the Dodgers got the lead back on Reggie Smith's third homer of the series and the third the pitch to Mutson drive the left field.

614
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:30,000
That's going to be a base hit. Dusty Baker over to get it cuts it off. Mutson around first we'll have to hold the long single.

615
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:43,000
So Mutson extends his hitting string and World Series play to 10 game. That's the Yankees second hit off Houghton the other one was Chambliss's homer.

616
01:10:43,000 --> 01:11:00,000
And here's Reggie Jackson. Jackson walked on four pitches his last time up there. There's a drive the right field and deep. Smith going back away back. It's gone.

617
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:35,000
Well Bert Houten threw the wrong ball and Reggie Jackson made it the long ball. Two swipes of the bat for the Yankees in the second and fourth inning.

618
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:59,000
Chris Chambliss left handed Reggie Jackson left handed each time with a man aboard and the Yankees take the lead four to three and we're having a blizzard of paper here in left field right field and a momentary halt as Davey Loops comes in to settle down as pitcher Bert Houten said it before when that

619
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:14,000
knuckle curve doesn't break. It's a gone goose. Now the big guy who hit the first two run homer for the acts Chris Chambliss Ross the Yankees ahead for the first time tonight on Reggie Jackson his third home run of this World Series.

620
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:30,000
Here's Chambliss knuckle curve for a called strike and Reggie Jackson with two more runs scored tonight. Remember he walked and came across in front of Chambliss's homer. Jackson has scored eight runs in the last four games to for contest by Houten his long the dirt to

621
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:46,000
the Yankees. He's got a long ball one and one. So Jackson has scored eight of the Yankees twenty two runs in this series and it's four three New York on a couple of two run homers by a pair of left handed sluggers Chambliss and Jackson

622
01:12:46,000 --> 01:13:00,000
has scored a goal ball two two and one. And Lea Sosa throwing again in the Dodger bullpen and here comes Tommy LaSorta when Jackson's ball wound up in the lower deck in right field Steve Yeager had gone out in front of the plate and he's

623
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:16,000
got a good signal as if to say he's lost it. He doesn't have much on it. Now LaSorta going out to talk to when LaSorta goes out. He's a man who usually brings the hook with him. So said thrown earlier in the ball game. And now let's see whether LaSorta decides the Yankees pitcher.

624
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:27,000
There is no tomorrow for Los Angeles. The Yankees have an opportunity to make some gambles tonight knowing that would be a seventh game tomorrow but not so for the Dodgers.

625
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:40,000
And once again Ross it's the person of Reggie Jackson. Reggie had been a thorn in Los Angeles side when it was an Oakland A World Series as you might remember. That one went five games.

626
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:54,000
In that series it was Holtsman Hunter and Jackson of this current Yankee squad and Tom LaSorta has had enough for the talk with Bird Hooten. He's called for a relief pitcher to come in. I presume it will be Sosa.

627
01:13:54,000 --> 01:14:10,000
Sosa who pitched a couple of strong relief innings here against the Yankees. He didn't do that well against the Phillies. And one inning he gave up two hits. And you recall a book in the game, the second game that the Dodgers lost.

628
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:28,000
But thereafter Sosa has been the kind of relief pitcher you need. He's not allowed anything. Of course the Yankee crowd invigorated by Reggie Jackson's line drive blast to right field, likely about 340 feet.

629
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:44,000
Two big blows for the Yankees that put them on top. After Jackson walked in the second, Chris Shambles put it into the Babe Ruth porch. And then in the fourth inning after Captain Munson did what he's done in every World Series game he's played in.

630
01:14:44,000 --> 01:15:06,000
Wacked a safe hit to left field. Reggie Jackson came up and loving the life-flight as he does. He has the ability, the verve and the jazz to come to it when it's necessary. He put it into the porch and gave the Yankees the 4-3 lead.

631
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:16,000
Well most baseball fans are all around sports fans and CBS Radio Sports Accord, so knows that and includes you in all our thinking.

632
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:36,000
And the most season football, that's the Fiesta, Son and Cotton Bowls, the NFC Championship game and the Super Bowl game. And for golf fans there's the Masters, the Triple Crown for the horse racing buffs. Oh hey, the Washington D.C. International too on November 5th.

633
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:50,000
And next summer all the big ones, the Playoffs, the World Series. Sure, plenty of sports all here on many of these CBS radio network stations.

634
01:15:50,000 --> 01:16:11,000
One 27 year old right hander replaces another. A Leah Sosa out of the Dominican Republic comes on for the Dodgers. Sosa has not seen service in this World Series since six nights ago. He came in in game one you might recall in the eighth inning with the Yankees leading 3-2 and the bases loaded and won out.

635
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:24,000
And Sosa proceeded to strike out Lou Penella and get buckied in to bounce into a fielder's choice. Those are the only two men he faced. Yankees saw the Dodgers tired in the ninth on Lee Lacey's Pinsengeloch Sparky Lyle.

636
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:37,000
But New York came back to winning 12. So it's been a while since Sosa has worked. A Leas who throws a good breaking ball, good slider, finished third among National League relievers this year and earned run average.

637
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:44,000
By year's end he had dropped the DRA down to 1.97.

638
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:50,000
And Rossy comes in to pitch to Chambliss with the count two balls and one strike.

639
01:16:50,000 --> 01:17:01,000
So Chambliss technically belongs to Bert Hooten. Nobody out, nobody on. Two runs over for the Yankees in the fourth inning on Reggie Jackson's third home run of the series.

640
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:08,000
So both Reggie's, Jackson of the Yankees and Smith of the Dodgers, have clubbed three home runs here in this year's series.

641
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:15,000
Four-three New York. Here Sosa's pitched to Chambliss. Outside ball three, three and one.

642
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:24,000
Greg Nettles on deck. Lou Penella will follow. But the first time this evening the Yankees are ahead. Four to three.

643
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:31,000
Sosa to the wind up. The three one pitch. Popped up. On the left side Russell going out and shallow left. Baker coming in.

644
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:36,000
Russell calling. Bull drops. One to win a second Chambliss and he'll make it.

645
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:42,000
Baker and Russell got messed up on their communications. They both lost their caps going for it.

646
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:47,000
It looked like Russell was going to get it. And in the last second Bill shied away.

647
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:56,000
And the ball didn't get there. And just like that, Chambliss goes into second base. And I guess it'll have to be a gift double. Nobody touched him.

648
01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:04,000
That should have been an easy catch for Baker. We could see that as Russell was angling over, it was going to be a real tough play for him.

649
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:14,000
He actually overran the ball. And Baker had to hold off. He could have taken it easily. And a little crack in the Dodger composure now.

650
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:19,000
So it's a double for Chambliss. He's out at second base with the second extra base hit of the game.

651
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:28,000
And here's Greg Nettles that grounded out the Garvey his first time up. Sosa ready to pitch. Sinker low for a ball. Want to know.

652
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:41,000
Sosa calls time. He wants to talk to Yeager. It might also be win that the noise of the crowd ground out either Baker or Russell calling for the ball and led to that boo boo.

653
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:50,000
Well, but Baker had it in front of him all the way. It was Baker's play. He should have made the play. Although he had a long run.

654
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:59,000
Well, you remember earlier Nettles with all that range he has outdid himself, got in front of a ball that Dent could have handled.

655
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:07,000
It's just the tension and the desire to do all out to overdo occasionally in a World Series game.

656
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:15,000
Big balloon came out of the stands on the field. So Dick Houser came down from third and stepped on it. Bobby Cox coaching at first for New York.

657
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:30,000
So set the belt. Nettles waiting one and oh Chambliss away from second. Nobody out the pitch outside ball to an oh Nettles is a very dangerous threat in Yankee Stadium.

658
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:35,000
Although you can't prove it by his play in this World Series. He has not really hit a hard ball.

659
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:41,000
Nettles and Willie Randolph were named today to the Sporting News All-Star team for this year along with Steve Garvey of the Dodgers.

660
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:53,000
So says two oh pitches. The ground ball to second. That'll get the runner over. Loeb's feels it throws out Nettles but Chambliss goes to third one away.

661
01:19:53,000 --> 01:20:01,000
Lou Pinella coming up. He applied out the right field his first time up. The Dodgers treading by a run don't want to give up anymore.

662
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:09,000
So they bring the infield in here in the fourth inning with Chambliss over at third. That could be a big run in this ball game.

663
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:13,000
And it could be a gift if New York can cash it in.

664
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:22,000
And I might say Ross for an infield to come in on Pinella he is the best bat mechanic with the possible exception of Diamond Munson on this Yankee squad.

665
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:26,000
He can place the ball as though we're on top of a pool table.

666
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:33,000
Sosa will work out of a stretch to Pinella who is all for eight the last few games.

667
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:38,000
So ready the pitch. Grounded foul over toward the Dodger dugout.

668
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:45,000
Four runs four hits one error for the Yankees three runs five hits no errors for the Dodgers.

669
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:52,000
We're in the last of the fourth Los Angeles got two in the first New York came back with two in the second Los Angeles got one in the third.

670
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:59,000
New York has two in here in the fourth inning and we've had a three home run this two for the Yankees.

671
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:04,000
Pinella waiting no balls and one strike. Chambliss off the bag at third.

672
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:11,000
Here is Sosa's pitch inside and low one and one shortstop Bucky Den is next.

673
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:23,000
So the Dodgers and Sosa will be careful with Pinella who hit 3 30 during the regular season.

674
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:28,000
Remember we told you Sosa struck out for Nella the other time he faced him here in the series.

675
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:36,000
He'd like a strikeout now the stretch the one one pitch breaking ball line left field indeed Baker going back he'll catch it.

676
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:48,000
And the Sosa and the Chambliss will score after the catch and the Yankees lead five to three.

677
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:57,000
For Pinella his third RBI of the series and the Yankees cash in a Dodger mistake for the third run of the frame.

678
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:04,000
That should have been the third out and Sosa the Dodgers should have been back on the bench trailing only four to three.

679
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:11,000
Because of the misplay in left field the Yankees and another here's Bucky Den with two out and nobody on.

680
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:23,000
Then granted at the second his first time up checks his swing and didn't go around according to first base umbar Nestor Shilac on an appeal by play them by John McCherry.

681
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:33,000
Yankees five Dodgers three bottom of the fourth the next one to dent inside ball two to an O when the Dodgers bat in the fifth they'll have the top of the lineup.

682
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:50,000
Lopes Russell and Smith it's the first time tonight the Dodgers have found themselves behind Sosa no wind up delivery inside the dent ball three three and O the Dodgers have out hit the Yankees five to four.

683
01:22:50,000 --> 01:23:09,000
The Yankees have a couple of two run homers and a gift double which they just cashed in for another run. Sosa winds the pitch to dent called strike scoreboard shows it to two but it's actually three and one since the first pitch was a ball.

684
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:12,000
Make sure he trying to get the scoreboards attention.

685
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:19,000
Well he got the three and two there's still a little off Sosa's next pitch breaking ball hammered bowed on the left field side.

686
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:48,000
So now it's three and two the Bucky Dent the ball boy down the third baseline made a beautiful play on that one reached across his body and got it back handed and the Yankees have done it both ways this round power and then inch him along and fly out to the field and get him in full count pitch on the way from Sosa to dent inside ball four.

687
01:23:48,000 --> 01:24:02,000
That's the second walk by Dodger pitcher who walked Reggie Jackson the second inning and it cost him when Chris Chambliss followed with a home run. Here comes Mike Torres up and he becomes the seventh man to bat at the New York fourth inning.

688
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:23,000
But to be perfectly honest and fair to Houghton he did not walk him in the fourth inning and it caused more costly in the fourth inning because Jackson put it into the stands with Watson on first and that put the Yankees ahead four to three then the Fuselin left field the ground ball and the sacrifice flyers made it five to three.

689
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:34,000
Mike Torres went down swinging in the third inning he's over four in the series so sad of a stretch the pitch got the outside corner for a strike.

690
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:43,000
Mike Torres one of eight children from a Mexican American family which lives in Topeka Kansas. His dad worked for the railroad out there.

691
01:24:43,000 --> 01:25:01,000
He catches in the peek in the Santa Fe there's a bouncer out the left side Bill Russell's got it to make the long foot a guardly and they get Torres but New York goes in front with three runs on three hits and one left at the end of four innings and game six Yankees five Dodgers three.

692
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:23,000
Listen to the game today whether you're rooting for the Yankees or the Dodgers here's something new I know all of you out there can cheer. New metal roast coffee and grain beverage metal roast coffee and grain beverage metal roast starts with three kinds of rich robust coffee then blends in roasted grain to take away the bitter edge.

693
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:42,000
Now you enjoy full flavored coffee taste without the bitterness with the new metal roast everybody comes out a winner pick up some metal roasts at your supermarket today it's new from General Food and now a commercial from the makers of Bayer aspirin in Washington the food and drug

694
01:25:42,000 --> 01:26:11,000
has been released important news about aspirin and aspirin substitutes the news release reports that a panel of medical experts in one of their findings found no basis for the claim that aspirin substitutes are safer than aspirin that's right aspirin substitutes were not found safer than aspirin when you want relief get Bayer aspirin Bayer has relieved more pain than any medication in history use only as directed.

695
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:14,000
The Dodgers come to bat on the top of the fifth.

696
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:28,000
They went into the bottom of the fourth leading by Iran now they trail by two and the guy out in right field who does everything is picking up papers now Reggie Jackson number 44 he seems to.

697
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:43,000
Need adversity seems to need turmoil to bring out the best in him he was a part of the.

698
01:26:43,000 --> 01:27:04,000
Yankee stadium this year of 77 remember the near fester cups with his manager in a Boston dugout the various magazine articles Jackson seems to have a genius for saying something two months before it comes out by the time it comes out and pretty wishes he hadn't said it maybe he didn't mean it but this.

699
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:29,000
Remember the old pinstripe Yankees this year it's been the pinstripe Yankees nevertheless here they are through four innings leading the Dodgers five to three in what could be the last game of the series Ross Yankee manager Billy Martin was given a nice bonus today by the Yankee front office of course he has a couple of more years on his present contract so they had to thank him for.

700
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:35,000
He's going to go to confidence and Martin will be back next year.

701
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:40,000
Davey Lopes leads off in the Dodger fifth runs up the button take slow for a ball one ball in those strikes.

702
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:45,000
Lopes has bounced out twice tonight to Dan in the first inning and back to Torres in the third.

703
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:56,000
Maybe it's been on base five times in the last two games in Los Angeles and clean a home run into triple Torres is pitch low ball to two and oh Yankees leading now but two runs as we go to the fifth inning.

704
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:59,000
Lopes steps out and looks down to Gomez at third.

705
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:07,000
They're not together yet on their signs Gomez has a different set of signs for each Dodger player to oh pitch popped up on the left side.

706
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:19,000
Bucky Dent going out Lou Penella coming in same play that the Dodgers had this time the Yankees make it work though and Penella has.

707
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:26,000
One away for Bill Russell who's been a victim of two infield grounders tonight one the second one to short.

708
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:37,000
Mike Torres never played high school baseball out in the Pica he played American Legion ball and 17 he signed with the Cardinals for a twenty thousand dollar bonus.

709
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:48,000
Russell takes inside Mike later went to Montreal from St. Louis then Oakland now to the Yankees.

710
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:58,000
He's a pitch load of Russell for ball to two balls and no strikes and that brings Billy Martin on the run out of the Yankee dugout and it brings Sparky Lyle to his feet in the Yankee bullpen.

711
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:15,000
And incidentally Ross Mike Torres has not signed a Yankee contract he says they have not offered him one that's sweet enough and here he conceivably could win two of the necessary four in a series and not be a member of the Yankees next year or ever more.

712
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:21,000
Martin's had his say he's back down the steps of the dugout and Torres ready to go to work to Russell two balls and no strikes.

713
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:23,000
Reggie Smith on deck.

714
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:33,000
Torres winds of the pitch had misses outside ball three three and oh Torres is allowed five hits to walk one he struck out three.

715
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:43,000
He's leading for the first time five to three three oh pitch to Russell is taking it's inside ball four.

716
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:52,000
So the second walk given up by Torres he walked saying the first inning and the Dodgers made that payoff for two runs when Garvey followed with a two run triple down the right field line.

717
01:29:52,000 --> 01:30:01,000
Reggie Smith hammered his third home run of the series with two out on the third inning and nobody aboard and gave the Dodgers a short live three to two lead Yankees got three in the fourth.

718
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:03,000
Ground ball is short.

719
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:08,000
Then Scott had over to Randolph for one back to first double play.

720
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:13,000
Taylor made one hopper to Bucky Dent near the bag at second.

721
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:22,000
He turns it into a six four three 20 Kelly the Dodgers are gone in the fifth but at the end of four and a half the game six Yankees five Dodgers three.

722
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:27,000
If you buy unleaded gasoline you may have noticed that lead isn't the only thing missing.

723
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:30,000
It's probably pretty low on performance too.

724
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:37,000
That's because most unleaded just don't have a high enough octane rating to give you the performance you want the performance you used to get from your regular.

725
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:48,000
In fact according to standards set by the American Society for testing and materials the people who set gasoline standards used by the federal and state governments very few unleaded gas

726
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:58,000
Leans have a high enough octane to be called regular to help you choose between them one usually sells for less.

727
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:06,000
Getty getty unleaded regular gives you the clean running engine you expect from an unleaded plus the octane performance you want and you pay less.

728
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:09,000
Then you would for most other major unleaded.

729
01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:16,000
Now think a minute why settle for an unleaded gasoline that's below regular when you can get one that's regular.

730
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:24,000
Getty unleaded regular once again we've got what's best for your car.

731
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:32,000
You're not a championship team as the Dodgers have been in their play in the National League and not have the ability to come back.

732
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:39,000
There is one fact however they want it so easy so quickly.

733
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:49,000
Well their metal is certainly going to be tested now and we're going to find out Ross what goes in the last of the fifth.

734
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:55,000
The double play by the Yankees was their first in the series that Dodgers had the other four.

735
01:31:55,000 --> 01:32:07,000
But that was Taylor made it to round off the Chambliss on a hot smash on one hot by Smith making rivers when they ran off and then Thurman Munson here in the New York Fifth inning.

736
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:09,000
Five three Yankees.

737
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:16,000
A Leo Sosa in his second inning of work goes to the lineup of the pitch of the ground ball at the middle face.

738
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:26,000
And then he hurries in to get the ball rivers a long turnaround first you'll hold on.

739
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:34,000
With his fifth hit of the series in that is twenty sixth and bad and the Yankees have even the hit totals and five apiece.

740
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:43,000
Two hits off Sosa the other one was a blooper and the left field and Baker and Russell couldn't get together on a dead drop that led to a Yankee run the third of the fourth inning.

741
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:51,000
The Dodgers ran off his over to Sosa the football over to Garvey and Rivers back on the bay.

742
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:57,000
The Dodgers not thirty three come from behind victories during the year.

743
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:59,000
They'll have to do it tonight if they're to stay alive.

744
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:10,000
Another third of first base and Rivers back in time Yankee is trying to win a world championship for the first time since nineteen sixty two.

745
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:16,000
The last time a New York team was a world champion was eight years ago when the nineteen sixty nine Mets did it.

746
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:20,000
Dodgers haven't won one in a dozen years way back in nineteen sixty five.

747
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:26,000
They beat Minnesota in seven Sosa ready looks at Rivers the pitch to Randolph around the but takes a called strike.

748
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:38,000
Oh and one and everybody on the baseball field in motion lobes towards first the shortstop to cover the middle of the diamond say in.

749
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:50,000
Randolph fighting the slump at the moment he's had one hit in his last sixteen advance in the series four for twenty three overall Sosa again the first base.

750
01:33:50,000 --> 01:34:02,000
Rivers back Ross Porter and well it from Yankee Stadium New York game six of the World Series Yankees five Dodgers three New York trying to wrap it up tonight.

751
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:10,000
So ready the pitch to Randolph around a bunch does but Yeager's got it he's going to second base to Russell in time to get the force on Rivers.

752
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:17,000
The throw is on the right field side of the bag but Russell kept his foot on a long enough according to National League umpire Ed Sudol.

753
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:31,000
And so they get the lead man Rivers and Randolph aboard on a fielders choice and that's about the third time in the series when we've seen a Dodger catcher the other two times being Jerry Grody take a but and turn it into an out that second.

754
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:42,000
This was a little more difficult on the bounce that Jerry Grody handled they jumped right into his right hand and he didn't have to waste any time but this one Yeager had to go out and gobble.

755
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:55,000
And there was a question as to whether his throw well it was good enough it didn't draw him off the base that quickly and so they erased Rivers but Randolph on first now is himself very fast.

756
01:34:55,000 --> 01:35:04,000
Thurmond Munson an outstanding World Series hitter over the last two years got his 17th in two years of series competition here tonight.

757
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:09,000
And first thing Munson does is ask by John McSherry to look at the baseball.

758
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:14,000
Elias Sosa is using and McSherry throws it out has nothing to do with Sosa regardless.

759
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:26,000
Thurmond Munson asked for that ball to be looked at as a matter of habit.

760
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:45,000
The series nine for 17 last year eight for twenty three this year one on one out Sosa stretches to pitch the thermon a pitch out nothing in the works.

761
01:35:45,000 --> 01:36:01,000
The ball in those strikes left hander Doug Raub against the throw in the Dodger bullpen he pitched one inning plus in game four in Los Angeles on Saturday five to three New York bottom of the fifth inning.

762
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:04,000
Willie Randolph leads away from first with one away.

763
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:14,000
Here comes the one old pitch the Thurmond Munson breaking ball low ball to two and all the Yankees tonight trying to make it seven World Series championship.

764
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:32,000
Over the Dodgers and their nine meetings Dodgers beat him only in 1955 while in Brooklyn in a 1963 in Los Angeles Sosa ready again good lead by Randolph and deciding to go after him.

765
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:35,000
Sosa tosses over to Garvey too late.

766
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:48,000
This is a vital part of the game because the Dodgers trail by a not insurmountable two runs but to let the scrappy Yankees get any more ahead of you would be a debilitating feeling.

767
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:56,000
Now the stretch by Sosa Munson waiting to go the pitch broken back looper to center field Monday coming up he's got it.

768
01:36:56,000 --> 01:37:08,000
Randolph had gone two thirds of the way and he draws a throw at first base but it gets back so Munson cracked the bat and fly out the Monday and Thurmond shaking his head as he goes back down the steps of the dugout.

769
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:22,000
To a way and here's Reggie Jackson who had walked homeward and scored two of the Yankee five runs and Jackson now in World Series history has 20 basets and a 3 28 career average in the series.

770
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:33,000
1973 1974 and this year in his own run tonight was his fifth World Series home run he now has 12 runs battered in and 14 runs scored.

771
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:37,000
So when they start playing for the money Reggie gets ready.

772
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:45,000
So Sosa again a flip over to first base and Randolph back to out a runner at first for New York in the bottom of the fifth.

773
01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:52,000
The Yankees five the Dodgers three when the Dodgers hit in the sixth they'll send up Ron say Steve Garvey and Dusty Baker.

774
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:58,000
So Sosa set the pitch right field indeed way back going going going.

775
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:24,000
Another home run for Reggie Jackson and the Yankees laid seven to three and Tom LaSorta is out to talk to his pitch.

776
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:29,000
And what can you say about Reggie Jackson.

777
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:33,000
His second home run of the game.

778
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:42,000
He was walked his first time up which now is a matter of hindsight proves to be the best way to pitch to him.

779
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:53,000
However it backfired in that second inning when Chris Shambles right after him hit the ball into the right field course.

780
01:38:53,000 --> 01:39:04,000
In the fourth inning Thurman Munson slashed a single to left field and the Dodger pitching staff at that point Bert Hooten made a mistake and pitched to Jackson.

781
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:16,000
And he hit a line drive some 15 feet high about three hundred and forty feet into the right field stand.

782
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:27,000
That gave the Yankees a four three lead and unsettled the Dodgers to the point that on the next play Chris Shambles hoisted a high fly to left field.

783
01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:32,000
Russell and Baker got confused and let the ball drop.

784
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:43,000
Shambles was advanced to third ground ball to the right side and then Lou Pinella a long fly to left field brought him home.

785
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:51,000
When the Dodgers went down Dossley and their half of the fifth Mickey Rivers rounded a single into center field.

786
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:58,000
He was forced at second as Willie Randolph attempted to pun him along.

787
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:13,000
Red Thurman Munson hit a liner a soft one a broken back soft liner to center field and then Reggie Jackson hit an almost duplicate blow.

788
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:20,000
But our two home runs redundant when you do the same thing twice with the same result.

789
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:39,000
A line drive to ref field by the right field about 15 feet high two more runs and the Yankees now lead at seven to three in the sixth possibly deciding final game of the 1977 World Series.

790
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:45,000
In the first five games of the series when the Yankees had had four home runs two of those by Reggie Jackson.

791
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:50,000
And here tonight they clout three home runs in five innings and Jackson has two of those.

792
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:56,000
And as I look at the World Series record book I believe that's a new record.

793
01:40:56,000 --> 01:41:09,000
Reggie Jackson's four home runs in a six game series Babe Ruth at three home runs in a six game series in 1923 Ted Klaussoski at three for the White Sox in 1959.

794
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:17,000
And Reggie Smith it is third here tonight. But the two by Reggie Jackson giving him four.

795
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:27,000
And if it's all over tonight that would be a new World Series record in fact four is also the seven game series record.

796
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:32,000
So for a six game series this would be it if it's over tonight.

797
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:40,000
Doug Rao picks up for a Lea Sosa as the Yankees double their lead and now it is seven to three with two more here in the fifth inning.

798
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:47,000
And the long ball has propelled New York to that margin.

799
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:50,000
Chris Chambliss hit the first home run for the Yankees.

800
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:57,000
That came in the second inning with Jackson aboard and wiped out the Dodgers early two nothing lead.

801
01:41:57,000 --> 01:42:15,000
Chambliss up again. He's got a double in addition to his home run. So three home runs in a double counting for four of the six hits for the Yankees and Rao sends one inside off the chest of Chris Chambliss for a ball two out two over seven three New York in the fifth

802
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:26,000
Rao's pitch low ball to two and over and anything you might say about Reggie Jackson that we have neglected to say up to now it isn't necessary to say.

803
01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:38,000
Two balls and no strikes to Chambliss the pitch by Rao gets the outside corner for his strike Reggie now with three runs tonight that gives him nine runs in the six game series.

804
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:46,000
He has been on base and the Yankees have brought him around breaking ball hammered on one half the Garvey behind the bag at first and he'll take care of Chambliss.

805
01:42:46,000 --> 01:43:00,000
But the Yankees get two more runs on two hits and at the end of five innings in game six Yankees seven Dodgers three.

806
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:06,000
Whatever your occupation here's something you should know about financing a new car or truck.

807
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:15,000
If you're a teacher farmer or have any occupation with an unusual or seasonal pay schedule you may encounter some problems when it comes to financing.

808
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:16,000
Well not with us.

809
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:19,000
We're the Ford Motor Credit Company.

01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:27,000
We finance all Ford and Lincoln Mercury products and we give special consideration to people who have unusual pay schedules.

When you're buying or leasing a new car or truck Ford credit wants to give you credit for being.

815
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:05,000
This time of the year you often hear baseball fans saying wait till next year.

816
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:16,000
And while your favorite team is planning for that you ought to order season tickets because now is the best time the best locations are available for your family or your business.

817
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:24,000
So if you missed any of baseball's excitement this past season act now and ensure choice seats for all the fun of 1978.

818
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:28,000
And you'll find yourself saying I just can't wait till next year.

819
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:32,000
The preceding was brought to you on behalf of Major League Baseball.

820
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:40,000
When Reggie Jackson ambled out to right field his port crowd rose in unison and greeted him.

821
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:48,000
He took off his hat and that was the signal for the third the first base side just to the right of home plate on home plate.

822
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:52,000
He got half the ballpark breeding him as he lifted his cap.

823
01:44:52,000 --> 01:45:01,000
This has been Reggie Jackson's night and oh how he must love it.

824
01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:03,000
We go to the sixth inning at Yankee Stadium.

825
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:07,000
New York seven Los Angeles three and Ryan say leads off to the Dodgers.

826
01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:17,000
He has walked and singled towards his first pitches low for a ball one and oh the Dodgers have had runners in four of their first five at best only in the second inning was Torres able to get him in order.

827
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:24,000
There's ball two high to say to an oh three Yankee home runs.

828
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:38,000
Two by Reggie Jackson and one by Chris Chambliss and the Yankees leading by four say takes ball three high three and oh Billy Martin had Sparky Lyle of earlier and he's going back to the bullpen now to get somebody else up and throwing.

829
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:49,000
And it looks like Sparky again the three oh pitched Iran say it called strike three and one Babe Ruth one time at three home runs in a series game.

830
01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:54,000
In fact he did it twice.

831
01:45:54,000 --> 01:46:04,000
Ruth at three home runs in a game in 1926 and again three in 1928 one night or one day at that time three to pitch got say swinging.

832
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:14,000
So Mike Torres fell behind three and oh and then fan Ron say that was Mike's fourth strike out of the night.

833
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:21,000
And you can just see him swelling to his chest with the help of those long blows that have put him four runs ahead.

834
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:25,000
He's really on his game now.

835
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:33,000
Steve Garvey tripled in the Dodgers first two runs in the opening inning he applied to center a deep drive his last time up Garvey Buntz but it's foul back into the stands.

836
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:42,000
So Garvey likes to lay the ball down and as a very adept runner pop that one back into the seats at his own one.

837
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:47,000
Reggie Jackson's nine runs in the six games would also be a New World Series record.

838
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:54,000
Babe Ruth and somebody named Alvin Powell had eight runs each in two six game series.

839
01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:59,000
Ruth and Gary in separate years had nine runs scored in only four games.

840
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:02,000
That's hard to do murder is wrong.

841
01:47:02,000 --> 01:47:04,000
The oh one pitch to Garvey popped up in the right field.

842
01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:06,000
Jackson coming up for it waiting.

843
01:47:06,000 --> 01:47:07,000
He's there now.

844
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:18,000
He's got it to a way the Dodgers are down to their last 10 outs trailing seven to three in the sixth inning.

845
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:24,000
Here's Desti Baker has been called out on strikes and fly to right field.

846
01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:32,000
I remember a game in Philadelphia where they were down to their last out and two runs behind with nobody on base in the ninth inning.

847
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:37,000
They're called strike to Baker.

848
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:41,000
So Torres is adrenaline pumping as one said because of the Yankee offense goes to work to Baker again.

849
01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:46,000
There's a drive to left field but now going back for it at the warning track you'll have a boy waiting.

850
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:48,000
He got it.

851
01:47:48,000 --> 01:48:00,000
Baker out on a long flight of left Torres gets the Dodgers in order in the sixth and at the end of five and a half innings Yankee seven Dodgers three.

852
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:07,000
The words you are about to hear should always be thought of together in the J. S.

853
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:13,000
J. Peptobismol in the J. S.

854
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:20,000
J. Peptobismol in the J.

855
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:29,000
Peptobismol it coats soothes relieves for occasional use only as directed.

856
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:33,000
Now a brief update from CBS News.

857
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:36,000
This is Doug polling reporting on the CBS radio network.

858
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:43,000
Powerful explosions wrecked three showrooms for German made automobiles in two northern Italian cities during the night.

859
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:50,000
Anonymous callers said the bombs were planted in memory of three West German anarchists whose deaths in prison were announced on Tuesday.

860
01:48:50,000 --> 01:49:05,000
U. N. Secretary General Voltaim says there's a move to give immediate attention by the world body to the problem of terrorism and hostage taking that in reply to world airline pilots who are threatening to strike unless the U. N. acts to stop this type of violence.

861
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:11,000
House and Senate conferees this afternoon opened a meeting to try to come up with a compromise energy bill.

862
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:16,000
The effort met an immediate impasse and the lawmakers will try again tomorrow.

863
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:23,000
The House today approved funds to prevent the closing of small town post offices and to keep the Saturday delivery of mail.

864
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:26,000
Now back to the World Series game in New York.

865
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:31,000
This is Doug polling CBS News.

866
01:49:31,000 --> 01:49:38,000
73 Yankees last half of the sixth inning on the Yankee who had more home runs than anybody during the regular season.

867
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:44,000
The third baseman Greg Nettles who just made all star third baseman today.

868
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:47,000
He's coming up against Doug Rao.

869
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:54,000
Nettles has hit a couple of ground balls to the right side tonight one to Garvey one to Lopes.

870
01:49:54,000 --> 01:50:12,000
Seven runs six hits one error for the Yankees including three home runs three runs five hits no errors for the Dodgers one home run breaking ball from Ralph recall strike the Nettles.

871
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:19,000
Rao who worked in the name on Saturday goes to the wind up and the pitches swung on a miss by Nettles strike two 0 and 2.

872
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:31,000
The Dodger scouting report said jam Reggie Jackson with hard stuff a lot of fastballs will appear tonight that both times Jackson hit fastballs and hit him over the ball over the wall and right field for home runs.

873
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:38,000
Next pitch the Nettles is outside and one ball and two strikes.

874
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:56,000
Now ready again the one to pitch ground it foul toward the Yankee dugout over the first base side Dodgers led to nothing Yankees caught him Dodgers led 3 2 Yankees went ahead five to three and seven to three.

875
01:50:56,000 --> 01:51:06,000
That's where we are in the bottom of the sixth inning Nettles waiting Doug Rao Wines in the one to pitch got him swinging on a hard fastball inside.

876
01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:11,000
The second strikeout by the three Dodger pitchers who have struck out Mike Torres.

877
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:32,000
Here's Lou Penella Penella 0 for one tonight a sacrifice fly his last time up after a pop fly to right but Penella made a defensive play in this ballgame in the fourth inning which really helped the Yankees out.

878
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:37,000
They were trailing at the time three to two.

879
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:55,000
Penella hits a foul out of play along the right field line back into the second deck with Monday at first and one out of the Dodger for the Yeager hit a smash off the box seats halfway down the left field line but a ricochet back to Penella Monday went to third but Penella went after Yeager and nipped him at second.

880
01:51:55,000 --> 01:52:08,000
The Dodgers potential beginning was thwarted pitches inside the Penella for a ball one on one.

881
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:18,000
Texan delivers there's a drive up in a center field Monday turns goes back he's there now in front of the warning track to make the catch.

882
01:52:18,000 --> 01:52:32,000
To I'm Bucky Dent has bounced out and walked tonight. I don't imagine I'll make the Dodgers Reuters feel any better but Bakers fly ball to left field that ended the previous half for the Dodgers would have been a home run in right field.

883
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:39,000
That Penella smash had had gone to right field instead of center it would have been a home run.

884
01:52:39,000 --> 01:52:49,000
Dent waits for Rouse pitch was his hide away from all one and all when the Dodgers bat on the seventh inning they'll send up Rick Monday Steve Yeager and a hitter for Doug Ralph.

885
01:52:49,000 --> 01:53:06,000
So the Dodgers have somebody else up in the bullpen and right field it looks like Charlie Huff Dent sends a fly ball down the left field line that's going to be foul Baker coming over and it'll go back out of play Ross it is hot one ball and one strike to Bucky Dent Charlie Huff.

886
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:19,000
Pitch well in Los Angeles in game three of the series when it took over from Tommy John and pitch three hitless Emmins or he gave it one hit no runs in three Emmins.

887
01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:30,000
Dent waits for Rouse one one pitch swing and a miss strike two one and two.

888
01:53:30,000 --> 01:53:38,000
The Dodgers have been in an incredible amount of their games this year they bet out of contention and only six of the 171 games they have played.

889
01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:42,000
There's a ball low in the dirt to dent two and two.

890
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:50,000
So when they are behind by four runs it's very unusual.

891
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:56,000
They were routed one day in Pittsburgh this year 11 to four lost a couple of other games by five runs or six.

892
01:53:56,000 --> 01:54:02,000
There's a ground ball to the left side Russell comes in gloves that one hand it throws in time.

893
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:15,000
Justin's I'm Garvey at the ticket out on a hop and they get Bucky Dent Yankees going order but at the end of six in game six New York seven Los Angeles three.

894
01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:19,000
I was really up in the air about what kind of a car to buy.

895
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:25,000
I wanted a compact for the economy and maneuverability but I wanted a car with luxury to well I not only got one.

896
01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:33,000
I got it for a lot less than I expected because now I drive a 1978 AMC Concorde DL two door sedan.

897
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:37,000
The Concorde DL is an all new model this year and it's a beauty.

898
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:50,000
It has a land out vinyl roof with opera windows crushed for lure interior with individual reclining seats whitewall tires with color keyed wheel covers wood grained instrument panel and a lot more all standard.

899
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:56,000
Sure other compacts offer those features but why pay extra when you can get them all standard.

900
01:54:56,000 --> 01:54:57,000
That's not all.

901
01:54:57,000 --> 01:55:04,000
I also get the protection of AMC's buyer protection plan and Concorde DL smooth quiet ride.

902
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:11,000
I guess Concorde DL is exactly what they say the luxury Americans want the size American needs.

903
01:55:11,000 --> 01:55:16,000
See the new Concorde DL now at your nearby AMC dealers.

904
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:21,000
Let's pause five seconds for a station identification.

905
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:26,000
This is the CBS radio network WCBS New York.

906
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:38,000
So we go to the top of the seventh with the Dodgers trailing before but let's remind ourselves that the Yankees four runs that they lead by worse.

907
01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:50,000
Whiffed incoming Reggie Jackson a home run and the third and another one in the fourth each time with a man aboard a miscue by the Dodgers although it won't go as an error and a sacrifice fly.

908
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:52,000
And that's how the Yankees are in the lead.

909
01:55:52,000 --> 01:55:57,000
So with one swing of the bat the complexion can turn immediately.

910
01:55:57,000 --> 01:56:04,000
We go to the top of the seventh at Dispin Los Angeles it would be followed by two choruses.

911
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:06,000
Take me out to the ball game.

912
01:56:06,000 --> 01:56:12,000
Let's see how the Dodgers react in the seventh inning.

913
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:14,000
Rick Monday will lead off for the Dodgers.

914
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:21,000
He is bounced out in single tonight Monday two for nine in the series.

915
01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:34,000
Now one for six against Mike Torres the first one to Monday a ground ball to the right side will round off plugs the gap feels it throws the chambliss one away.

916
01:56:34,000 --> 01:56:44,000
For the Dodgers first ball hitting frequently denied against Mike Torres in Monday makes the first out of the seventh inning.

917
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:47,000
Steve Yeager got the last Dodger hit.

918
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:58,000
That was the ball that he shot off the box seats on a hop along the left field line in the fourth inning and then was thrown out on a great peg by Lou Pinella the second base.

919
01:56:58,000 --> 01:57:04,000
Since then the Dodgers have had only one runner Russell who walked in the fifth and was doubled up on Smith's ground ball.

920
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:12,000
Yeager swings and misses again the first ball but in all honesty they Mike has only walked two people tonight.

921
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:19,000
Torres is fan for he's allowed five hits he's leading seven to three in the seventh inning.

922
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:24,000
The next one of the Dodger catchers low for a ball one on one.

923
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:30,000
The Dodgers to show you what they've done have surrendered seven or more runs now in 24 games this year.

924
01:57:30,000 --> 01:57:36,000
And before tonight they had lost 19 of the other 23 when they gave up that many ground ball right back to the pitcher.

925
01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:43,000
Torres grabs it and throws out Yeager twice tonight.

926
01:57:43,000 --> 01:57:45,000
The Torres has helped himself with the glove.

927
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:55,000
He's also the third inning and now Yeager for the second out in the seventh and the Dodgers are down to their last seven outs as Ed Goodson comes out to hit for Doug Rao.

928
01:57:55,000 --> 01:58:00,000
I don't know whether Billy senses that Torres is tiring or lost his stuff.

929
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:11,000
He's had Sparky Lyle up on the bullpen and now Billy is out at the pitchers mound discussing Torres both with Mike and catcher Thurman Munson and the third baseman Greg Nettles is over there.

930
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:15,000
I suspect Billy is not going to take the slightest bit of chance.

931
01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:17,000
He's back to the dugout.

932
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:25,000
Lyle is still working in the bullpen and Mike Torres is still on the mound.

933
01:58:25,000 --> 01:58:31,000
Ed Goodson a left handed hitter used as a pinch hitter by the Dodgers this year.

934
01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:35,000
Takes a call strike from Mike Torres.

935
01:58:35,000 --> 01:58:40,000
This is the first time Goodson has batted in the World Series.

936
01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:42,000
The maximum Torres is a ground ball foul.

937
01:58:42,000 --> 01:58:54,000
I belong first base and so quickly Torres jumps ahead 0 and 2 to Ed Goodson.

938
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:57,000
Seven to three Yankees at the seventh inning of Game Six.

939
01:58:57,000 --> 01:59:08,000
Torres is pitch low for a ball one and two to Goodson.

940
01:59:08,000 --> 01:59:10,000
The ball is out.

941
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:12,000
Nobody aboard.

942
01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:16,000
Torres ready the one to pitch got him swinging.

943
01:59:16,000 --> 01:59:34,000
The last seven Dodgers to face him since the walk to Russell and at the end of six and a half innings in Game Six Yankee seven Dodgers three.

944
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:38,000
Goodson fight the congestion shrink the swollen membranes help relieve the runny,

945
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:41,000
sneezey, cloggy misery caused by every known cold virus.

946
01:59:41,000 --> 01:59:42,000
Are you sure?

947
01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:44,000
Contact, Ann.

948
01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:48,000
Today's contact does all that up to 12 hours all day all night.

949
01:59:48,000 --> 01:59:54,000
No matter what cold virus attack, that's the one to contact.

950
01:59:54,000 --> 01:59:58,000
Take only his direct.

951
01:59:58,000 --> 02:00:08,000
The New York Yankee Stadium crowd taking a leaf in the songbook of the Los Angeles fans is now doing take me out to the ball game themselves.

952
02:00:08,000 --> 02:00:17,000
A little disorganized somewhat cacophonous in fact and no no substitution that's go go go the Yankees.

953
02:00:17,000 --> 02:00:24,000
Let's take this moment while we may to recognize and to thank all the folks who've helped in this broadcast.

954
02:00:24,000 --> 02:00:35,000
That means the secretary's operations personnel the technical people both the New York and Los Angeles boy you've been so much help to Ross and Bill and Mr.

955
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:39,000
kinder and Mr. Coleman out there in San Diego.

956
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:40,000
We want to thank you.

957
02:00:40,000 --> 02:00:44,000
We're proud of your efforts and we want everybody to know you.

958
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:47,000
Thanks again boys and girls.

959
02:00:47,000 --> 02:00:51,000
We're down to the last half of the seventh and this kind of a holiday spirit.

960
02:00:51,000 --> 02:00:54,000
Now I don't know whether it's premature.

961
02:00:54,000 --> 02:00:58,000
You've seen any number of ball games blow up in the eighth inning and the ninth inning.

962
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:08,000
But right now you're going to have a hard time convincing the Yankee fans here that their Yankees are not going to be the world's champions in 1977.

963
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:17,000
Right now they hold a lead of seven to three and they're going to face a new Dodger pitcher Charlie Huff the knuckleball specialist.

964
02:01:17,000 --> 02:01:22,000
The Dodgers got off front in the first inning bang bang two to nothing.

965
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:29,000
But the Yankees came back in the second inning to run Chris Shambles homerun tied it up.

966
02:01:29,000 --> 02:01:36,000
Then Reggie Smith hit one into the right field porch in the third inning to give the Dodgers a three to lead.

967
02:01:36,000 --> 02:01:46,000
But that was the last time Reggie Jackson a two run homer in the fourth inning a misplay in left field and eventually a sacrifice fly.

968
02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:54,000
Made it another run in that fifth inning rather the fourth inning for the Yankees and then would you believe it again.

969
02:01:54,000 --> 02:01:58,000
A two run homerun by Reggie Jackson in the fifth inning.

970
02:01:58,000 --> 02:02:00,000
And we are now where we are.

971
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:11,000
Seven to three New York Yankees last half of the seventh and the big guy from Topeka Kansas already nine innings a winner.

972
02:02:11,000 --> 02:02:17,000
Did say to go the route again Mike Torres.

973
02:02:17,000 --> 02:02:23,000
Torres gets a standing ovation as he comes to the plate to lead off for New York at the bottom of the seventh inning.

974
02:02:23,000 --> 02:02:27,000
Go face knuckleball or Charlie Huff.

975
02:02:27,000 --> 02:02:30,000
Torres has struck out and bounced out tonight.

976
02:02:30,000 --> 02:02:34,000
Mike taps one foul behind the plate.

977
02:02:34,000 --> 02:02:40,000
Huff and his three scoreless innings of relief in Los Angeles in game three Friday night.

978
02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:44,000
All out only a base hit a single to Mickey Rivers in the ninth inning.

979
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:48,000
Torres holds up on a knuckleball outside one on one.

980
02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:53,000
Huff this year for the Dodgers one six games saved 22 others.

981
02:02:53,000 --> 02:02:57,000
He was instrumental in the Dodgers fast getaway in April and May.

982
02:02:57,000 --> 02:03:03,000
One one pitch knuckleball swung on a miss strike two one and two.

983
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:11,000
Reggie Jackson was the most valuable player of the 1973 World Series and he might very well be the MVP in 1977.

984
02:03:11,000 --> 02:03:12,000
The way things are going.

985
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:16,000
Torres swings and misses striking out on a dancer from Charlie Huff.

986
02:03:16,000 --> 02:03:20,000
But the fans applaud him anyway as he goes back to take a seat.

987
02:03:20,000 --> 02:03:31,000
Mike if Reggie isn't the guy who's going back to the dugout Mike Torres who bids fair to a pitch two and one to complete games without a contract.

988
02:03:31,000 --> 02:03:39,000
It's going to be pretty hard to talk to Mike after this is over as he hasn't signed and he is a two game winner in the series.

989
02:03:39,000 --> 02:03:40,000
Wow.

990
02:03:40,000 --> 02:03:44,000
And he's led the Yankees staff and victories win with 17.

991
02:03:44,000 --> 02:03:47,000
Rivers takes a knuckleball outside of all bounces behind the plate.

992
02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:49,000
Want to know.

993
02:03:49,000 --> 02:03:57,000
Torres of course also had the most starts for the Yankees this year the most complete games with 17 the most innings pitched 244.

994
02:03:57,000 --> 02:04:04,000
So he was a big cog in the wheel knuckleball from Huff is outside the Rivers ball to two and 0.

995
02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:11,000
Even not keeping score with us when the Dodgers come up in the eighth they'll have a low up for Russell and Smith to face Mike Torres.

996
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:15,000
Huffs to a pitch line drive base hit by Rivers into the right field corner.

997
02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:16,000
Smith over to get it.

998
02:04:16,000 --> 02:04:23,000
Rivers around first he'll hold as Smith gets it back in a hurry and Mickey Rivers has got his second straight hit his sixth of the series.

999
02:04:23,000 --> 02:04:29,000
A one out single here in the seventh inning.

1000
02:04:29,000 --> 02:04:33,000
That's the Yankees seventh hit.

1001
02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:36,000
Dodgers have five.

1002
02:04:36,000 --> 02:04:52,000
Willie Randolph is 0 for three tonight he tried to but Rivers to second base in the fifth inning wound up a force out at second but Randolph scored when Reggie Jackson powered his second home run of the game into the right field seats.

1003
02:04:52,000 --> 02:05:03,000
Huff stretches the pitch knuckleball strike pops out of Yeager's glove rolls in front of the plate but he's out to get it 0 and 1.

1004
02:05:03,000 --> 02:05:06,000
Another welcome tonight to all of our military personnel around the world.

1005
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:09,000
American forces radio.

1006
02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:10,000
Hope you're enjoying our account.

1007
02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:19,000
Ross Porter with one Elliott from New York game six the Yankees trying to sell up their first world championship since 1962.

1008
02:05:19,000 --> 02:05:22,000
And there are four runs ahead in the bottom of the seventh inning.

1009
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:25,000
How throws the first Rivers back.

1010
02:05:25,000 --> 02:05:36,000
Rivers stole a base off of the ninth inning of game three after he singled but he was left at second Randolph taps and foul behind a plate of lunging for a knuckleball 0 and 2.

1011
02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:40,000
The Yankees don't see that many knuckleballers during the American League campaign.

1012
02:05:40,000 --> 02:05:44,000
Of course Wilbur Wood from the White Sox will throw that dancer up there.

1013
02:05:44,000 --> 02:05:46,000
You don't see much of a knuckleball anyway.

1014
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:50,000
Well the Negro boys in the National League have got it down pretty well Joe and Phil.

1015
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:51,000
But you're right.

1016
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:54,000
There are not that many around.

1017
02:05:54,000 --> 02:06:01,000
Randolph waiting 0 and 2 1 out 1 on 7 3 New York knuckleball high inside and Randolph leans out of the oil.

1018
02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:10,000
Lance Rotson a left hander begins to throw in the Dodger bullpen.

1019
02:06:10,000 --> 02:06:18,000
Yankees trailed two to nothing caught up at two fell behind three to lead five three and now seven three.

1020
02:06:18,000 --> 02:06:20,000
The pitch to Randolph got him swinging knuckleball.

1021
02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:21,000
Wait a minute.

1022
02:06:21,000 --> 02:06:23,000
Did he fall out of the glove.

1023
02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:25,000
Apparently so is the Randolph still alive.

1024
02:06:25,000 --> 02:06:27,000
Yeager couldn't hold on to it.

1025
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:29,000
Chase the high knuckle.

1026
02:06:29,000 --> 02:06:31,000
But got just enough of it on the bat.

1027
02:06:31,000 --> 02:06:32,000
To tip it off.

1028
02:06:32,000 --> 02:06:41,000
So it's one and two.

1029
02:06:41,000 --> 02:06:48,000
Now the stretch by Charlie Huff he looks at rivers and now backs off the mound.

1030
02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:56,000
Huff was about through as a pitcher when a scout for the Dodgers named Goldie Holt told him how to throw the knuckleball.

1031
02:06:56,000 --> 02:06:58,000
There's a high outside pitch.

1032
02:06:58,000 --> 02:07:08,000
They thought maybe Rivers was going to pitch you out of this two and two.

1033
02:07:08,000 --> 02:07:17,000
Here in the seventh Torres struck out but Rivers single now Randolph waiting two and two the pitch knuckleball fell back off Yeager's right shoulder.

1034
02:07:17,000 --> 02:07:24,000
Count is still even to two.

1035
02:07:24,000 --> 02:07:27,000
The long ball has been the Yankee power story tonight.

1036
02:07:27,000 --> 02:07:29,000
Two run homer by Chambliss in the second inning.

1037
02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:31,000
Two run homer by Jackson in the fourth.

1038
02:07:31,000 --> 02:07:34,000
Two run homer by Jackson in the fifth.

1039
02:07:34,000 --> 02:07:38,000
So the three long shots have accounted for six of the seven New York runs.

1040
02:07:38,000 --> 02:07:39,000
There goes Rivers.

1041
02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:42,000
Randolph bounces one to say looks at second but his only play is the Garvey.

1042
02:07:42,000 --> 02:07:46,000
They get Randolph and Rivers moves up 90 feet to second base.

1043
02:07:46,000 --> 02:07:50,000
So by sending Rivers the Yankee stayed out of a double play.

1044
02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:55,000
And here's Thurman Munson coming up.

1045
02:07:55,000 --> 02:07:59,000
Munson has a single tonight and three at bats.

1046
02:07:59,000 --> 02:08:03,000
Thurman with eight hits in this year's series.

1047
02:08:03,000 --> 02:08:07,000
Reggie Jackson has eight for the Yankees in the six games.

1048
02:08:07,000 --> 02:08:12,000
Steve Garvey has eight for the Dodgers.

1049
02:08:12,000 --> 02:08:24,000
And you get the feeling that this stadium crowd already is consigning the games to the world's champions and they're saluting their heroes giving them their accolades as they come to bat.

1050
02:08:24,000 --> 02:08:30,000
Charlie Huff looks at Rivers deals to Munson of all is tapped off of Munson's foot at the plate foul.

1051
02:08:30,000 --> 02:08:35,000
And Yeager goes out to help his fellow catcher up.

1052
02:08:35,000 --> 02:08:41,000
Their friends they had dinner together in Los Angeles the other night after one of the series games.

1053
02:08:41,000 --> 02:08:44,000
So the catchers for turn today had a little meeting.

1054
02:08:44,000 --> 02:08:51,000
And Yeager is looking over to the Yankee dugout where big Cliff Johnson another catcher is giving it in business.

1055
02:08:51,000 --> 02:08:59,000
And they're both grinning at each other.

1056
02:08:59,000 --> 02:09:02,000
Munson digging a toe hold in from the right side.

1057
02:09:02,000 --> 02:09:06,000
Rivers the runner at second for the Yankees here in the bottom of the seventh inning.

1058
02:09:06,000 --> 02:09:10,000
New York seven Los Angeles three two out Huff at the belt.

1059
02:09:10,000 --> 02:09:14,000
And now balloons come out of the field and Huff steps back.

1060
02:09:14,000 --> 02:09:16,000
So we've got a yellow balloon in front of the plate.

1061
02:09:16,000 --> 02:09:21,000
A green balloon making its way up toward the first base bag.

1062
02:09:21,000 --> 02:09:23,000
John McSherry goes out to get the yellow balloon.

1063
02:09:23,000 --> 02:09:28,000
Yankee Batboy gets the green one.

1064
02:09:28,000 --> 02:09:32,000
At least they're not throwing things tonight when just balloons.

1065
02:09:32,000 --> 02:09:37,000
Well the mood's a little different.

1066
02:09:37,000 --> 02:09:41,000
All is well with the world right now for the Yankee fans are four runs ahead.

1067
02:09:41,000 --> 02:09:46,000
Now this is the second half of the season.

1068
02:09:46,000 --> 02:09:50,000
The Yankee Belcevs and swings and misses at a knuckleball from Huff.

1069
02:09:50,000 --> 02:09:53,000
Oh and to he's got a good one.

1070
02:09:53,000 --> 02:10:00,000
Charlie Huff came under a lot of criticism in Los Angeles this year and much of it was unjust.

1071
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:04,000
Charlie Huff had hurt his arm being overworked from the fans didn't know it.

1072
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:08,000
As a result he started coming three quarters that over the top.

1073
02:10:08,000 --> 02:10:10,040
then Mike Garmin pulled a hamstring muscle

1074
02:10:10,040 --> 02:10:12,080
and Garmin couldn't go in the bullpen.

1075
02:10:12,080 --> 02:10:13,400
So he had to stay with Huff

1076
02:10:13,400 --> 02:10:15,800
and it was then that Huff hurt the shoulder.

1077
02:10:15,800 --> 02:10:17,720
Altered his delivery and the opposing batter

1078
02:10:17,720 --> 02:10:18,880
started to rock him.

1079
02:10:18,880 --> 02:10:20,240
Two-two pitch.

1080
02:10:20,240 --> 02:10:21,960
Swung on a miss, ball gets away from Yeager

1081
02:10:21,960 --> 02:10:23,680
but not far enough and the throw down to Garvey

1082
02:10:23,680 --> 02:10:25,720
retires Munson after the strikeout.

1083
02:10:26,620 --> 02:10:28,680
So no runs, one hit, one left.

1084
02:10:28,680 --> 02:10:30,400
Huff gets two strikeouts.

1085
02:10:30,400 --> 02:10:32,720
But at the end of seven innings in game six.

1086
02:10:32,720 --> 02:10:35,160
It's still Yankee seven and the Dodgers three.

1087
02:10:35,160 --> 02:10:40,800
Music

1088
02:10:41,880 --> 02:10:43,840
Someday you'll own

1089
02:10:45,200 --> 02:10:46,900
Someday you'll own

1090
02:10:48,080 --> 02:10:51,480
Sooner or later you'll own generals

1091
02:10:51,480 --> 02:10:55,600
Don't buy tires until you visit your general tire headquarters

1092
02:10:55,600 --> 02:10:57,800
You'll find a tire that's right for you

1093
02:10:57,800 --> 02:11:00,200
and a price that's set for today's budgets.

1094
02:11:00,200 --> 02:11:03,280

1095
02:11:03,280 --> 02:11:08,800
polyester cord and economical four-ply nylon cord tires or go with a sporty

yellow pages for the general tire headquarters nearest you Mike Torres out

1099
02:11:40,720 --> 02:11:44,960
in the mound warming up as we go into the top of the eighth with Mike and his

1100
02:11:44,960 --> 02:11:49,400
Yankees holding a seven to three lead Mike has occasionally struggled in this

1101
02:11:49,400 --> 02:11:54,600
game but whenever he had to dig down and get it like the ball players say he did

1102
02:11:54,600 --> 02:12:00,280
it cost him in the first inning wasn't really his fault two out a ground ball

1103
02:12:00,280 --> 02:12:07,280
to short mishandled by Bucky Dent and then trouble Steve Garvey a triple down

1104
02:12:07,280 --> 02:12:23,440
the line drove in not only Reggie Smith

1105
02:12:37,280 --> 02:13:07,240
the series the first pitch of call

1106
02:13:07,280 --> 02:13:15,920
strike Mike Torres a pitch 88 pitches in the first seven innings we told you

1107
02:13:15,920 --> 02:13:19,640
through 133 the last outing lobes the ground ball base hit up the middle of

1108
02:13:19,640 --> 02:13:23,840
the left of dead in the center field so lobes collects the Dodgers sixth hit and

1109
02:13:23,840 --> 02:13:28,120
the speedy second baseman is aboard and Billy Martin at Sparky Lyle up and

1110
02:13:28,120 --> 02:13:32,920
throwing before Mike Torres ever went to the mound here in the eighth inning

1111
02:13:32,920 --> 02:13:39,400
Sparky has not appeared in the last four games to possibly the entire series we

1112
02:13:39,400 --> 02:13:43,160
haven't seen him since game one well he did throw an eight through an any that's

1113
02:13:43,160 --> 02:13:46,040
right Garvey at the home run off of him in the ninth inning right six days ago

1114
02:13:46,040 --> 02:13:51,120
here's Russell is over two plus a walk tonight Torres goes to first and lobes

1115
02:13:51,120 --> 02:13:56,920
back Mike Torres served up 21 pitches in the first inning six in the second

1116
02:13:56,920 --> 02:14:02,960
nineteen and the third and then 13 912 and eight Russell takes inside on the

1117
02:14:02,960 --> 02:14:07,360
corner for a strike on one the Dodgers need base runners they got the big guns

1118
02:14:07,360 --> 02:14:11,760
coming up but there are four runs behind lobes with the leadoff single here in

1119
02:14:11,760 --> 02:14:16,080
the Los Angeles eighth inning Torres is ready the pitch to Russell takes outside

1120
02:14:16,080 --> 02:14:20,440
for a ball one on a word about Lyle he's always maintained that he pitches best

1121
02:14:20,440 --> 02:14:25,200
when he pitches most often the time off he's had for a spark he is almost a

1122
02:14:25,200 --> 02:14:29,200
sabbatical I wonder what his touch will be like if he comes in the pitch to

1123
02:14:29,200 --> 02:14:33,120
Russell did he go around yes he does that John McSherry couldn't check his

1124
02:14:33,120 --> 02:14:41,160
swing right inside pitch and Russell's behind one and two twenty three times this

1125
02:14:41,160 --> 02:14:45,960
year the Dodgers scored five or more runs in an inning only need five right now

1126
02:14:45,960 --> 02:14:49,680
to go ahead and it's the eighth inning they're running out of time Torres is

1127
02:14:49,680 --> 02:14:55,080
ready to one to pitch outside two and two twenty seven times this year the

1128
02:14:55,080 --> 02:15:00,000
Dodgers batted around and almost half of their games they scored five or more

1129
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:05,240
runs so they have the offensive capabilities but they're gonna need them

1130
02:15:05,240 --> 02:15:10,080
now in a hurry the stretch the two to pitch to Russell outside ball three

1131
02:15:10,080 --> 02:15:14,640
three and two and it could be when if Torres walks Russell he's gone

1132
02:15:14,640 --> 02:15:22,440
Martin is on his feet Reggie Smith on deck seven to three Yankees nobody out

1133
02:15:22,440 --> 02:15:25,880
of the eighth and loops away from first doubtful he will run on this pitch the

1134
02:15:25,880 --> 02:15:29,600
three to Russell find right the right field but it's gonna hang up long enough

1135
02:15:29,600 --> 02:15:34,880
for Jackson to make a one handed catch over his head to Russell went the other

1136
02:15:34,880 --> 02:15:39,720
way but not far enough and Jackson had enough room to stretch high and glove it

1137
02:15:39,720 --> 02:15:44,840
one away in the Dodger eighth inning and the Yankees are five outs away from

1138
02:15:44,840 --> 02:15:50,280
their first world title in 15 years and here's their big gun the guy who already

1139
02:15:50,280 --> 02:15:55,120
has a homer in this game three on the series Reggie Smith Smith has scored

1140
02:15:55,120 --> 02:15:58,800
two of the Dodgers three runs tonight safe on an errand scored in the first

1141
02:15:58,800 --> 02:16:02,560
homer to the third and into a double plays last time up and Smith takes inside

1142
02:16:02,560 --> 02:16:07,560
from Mike Torres for a ball Torres making his 14th career appearance against

1143
02:16:07,560 --> 02:16:11,720
the Dodgers 13 of those with the Cardinals and Expos he's been two and

1144
02:16:11,720 --> 02:16:15,280
five against them over the years but the night he's ahead there's a fastball for

1145
02:16:15,280 --> 02:16:22,080
a call strike to Smith leveling the count at one ball in one strike the other

1146
02:16:22,080 --> 02:16:26,520
day in Los Angeles Lopes with the Dodgers behind attempted to steal stealing

1147
02:16:26,520 --> 02:16:30,640
was snuffed out I don't think he'll do it tonight not four runs behind now the

1148
02:16:30,640 --> 02:16:37,840
stretch the pitch to Reggie low inside ball to two and one Ron say on deck

1149
02:16:37,840 --> 02:16:43,200
Steve Garvey to follow the Dodgers bringing their big thunder up for maybe

1150
02:16:43,200 --> 02:16:48,820
the last time this year two balls and a strike to Smith Mike Torres stretches

1151
02:16:48,820 --> 02:16:53,280
looks at a loax the pitch pop found out of play behind the plate two balls and

1152
02:16:53,280 --> 02:17:00,200
two strikes if the Dodgers lose tonight they will fly home immediately after the

1153
02:17:00,200 --> 02:17:06,440
game and they'll be back in Los Angeles sometime between 3 30 and 4 o'clock in

1154
02:17:06,440 --> 02:17:13,040
the morning West Coast time and a celebration would still be going on in

1155
02:17:13,040 --> 02:17:16,880
New York about that time I'm sure of the Yankees win to pitch to Smith

1156
02:17:16,880 --> 02:17:20,160
ground ball to first channelist gloves it down to the shortstop covering for one

1157
02:17:20,160 --> 02:17:29,800
back the first double boy for the second straight time Reggie Smith

1158
02:17:29,800 --> 02:17:36,080
grounds into a double play shambles made it look easy three six three the

1159
02:17:36,080 --> 02:17:40,040
Dodgers turned away with one hit in the eighth inning and the Yankees are three

1160
02:17:40,040 --> 02:17:44,080
outs away from a world championship at the end of seven and a half innings

1161
02:17:44,080 --> 02:17:50,360
Yankees seven Dodgers three while the Yankees are coming up to bat I'd like to

1162
02:17:50,360 --> 02:17:53,840
take this opportunity to tell you about something I know all of you'd enjoy

1163
02:17:53,840 --> 02:18:00,080
along with the game tonight and that's new metal roast coffee and grain beverage

1164
02:18:00,080 --> 02:18:05,600
starts with three kinds of rich robust coffee and then blends in roasted grain

1165
02:18:05,600 --> 02:18:10,880
to take away the bitter end so you enjoy full-flavored coffee taste without the

1166
02:18:10,880 --> 02:18:15,960
bitterness and with all that going for it new metal roast is sure to be a hit

1167
02:18:15,960 --> 02:18:21,400
pick up some metal roast at your supermarket today it's new from General

1168
02:18:21,400 --> 02:18:27,240
and now a commercial from the makers of Bayer aspirin in Washington the food and

1169
02:18:27,240 --> 02:18:30,720
drug administration released important news about aspirin and aspirin

1170
02:18:30,720 --> 02:18:34,880
substitutes the news release reports that a panel of medical experts in one of

1171
02:18:34,880 --> 02:18:39,040
their findings found no basis for the claim that aspirin substitutes are

1172
02:18:39,040 --> 02:18:44,040
safer than aspirin that's right aspirin substitutes were not found safer than

1173
02:18:44,040 --> 02:18:48,920
aspirin when you want relief get Bayer aspirin Bayer has relieved more pain

1174
02:18:48,920 --> 02:18:54,080
than any medication in history use only as directed

1175
02:18:55,440 --> 02:19:00,120
wouldn't you know it first up to bat for the New York Yankees in this last half

1176
02:19:00,120 --> 02:19:07,760
of the eighth Reggie Jackson in the series he scored nine driven in what seven

1177
02:19:07,760 --> 02:19:13,520
earlier in this series Reggie said about his manager and the strife they've

1178
02:19:13,520 --> 02:19:20,400
known that Billy Martin deserved the Nobel Peace Prize for keeping the peace

1179
02:19:20,400 --> 02:19:27,640
well that's a hand for Reggie Jackson when I wouldn't have guessed it since

1180
02:19:27,640 --> 02:19:33,600
Nobel was the scientist who invented or discovered dynamite perhaps part of that

1181
02:19:33,600 --> 02:19:38,680
prize should go to Reggie Jackson Jackson with four runs batted in since a

1182
02:19:38,680 --> 02:19:43,960
fly ball is center field indeed that's gonna be way back and that's gonna be gone Reggie Jackson

1183
02:19:43,960 --> 02:20:08,600
as it is for the home run of the game Reggie Jackson becomes

1184
02:20:08,600 --> 02:20:14,560
the second man in World Series history they had three home runs in a game we

1185
02:20:14,560 --> 02:20:20,960
told you earlier Babe Ruth did it on two occasions in 1926 and in 1928 and

1186
02:20:20,960 --> 02:20:27,120
Jackson just crunched one over the center field wall that must have been 440

1187
02:20:27,120 --> 02:20:31,280
feet or more away and they want Jackson to come out and take a bow with the

1188
02:20:31,280 --> 02:20:35,440
Yankees leading eight to three in the eighth inning and Reggie Jackson with

1189
02:20:35,440 --> 02:20:41,840
three home runs and five are behind and there he is takes his head off waves his

1190
02:20:41,840 --> 02:20:48,240
acknowledgement to the Yankee fans says thank you very much what a performance

1191
02:20:48,240 --> 02:20:52,120
tonight by Reggie Jackson who has been in the center of controversy with the

1192
02:20:52,120 --> 02:20:58,280
Yankees all year long I don't know there isn't anything to say or at least it's

1193
02:20:58,280 --> 02:21:07,280
beyond me the championship of heroics Reggie Jackson three million dollars to

1194
02:21:07,280 --> 02:21:13,680
get him here he has often said he doesn't want to come back here I don't

1195
02:21:13,680 --> 02:21:18,880
believe it for one second I never had Reggie Jackson could have had more money

1196
02:21:18,880 --> 02:21:23,120
by going to Montreal he could have had more money probably going to three other

1197
02:21:23,120 --> 02:21:31,000
places but he came here because this is where the newsmakers are and ready has

1198
02:21:31,000 --> 02:21:39,240
made it good and or bad and that's what he wanted and then this sixth and

1199
02:21:39,240 --> 02:21:46,760
obviously deciding game of the world series ready just took charge three home

1200
02:21:46,760 --> 02:21:53,120
runs to back up Mike Torres put it here's Chris Chambliss taking a knuckleball

1201
02:21:53,120 --> 02:21:57,760
from Huff for a ball so Reggie Jackson with five home runs in this year's

1202
02:21:57,760 --> 02:22:03,960
world series and three of them in game six all kinds of records four runs scored

1203
02:22:03,960 --> 02:22:09,160
tonight by Reggie Jackson ten runs scored in the series in six games by Reggie

1204
02:22:09,160 --> 02:22:14,560
knuckleball loaded Chambliss ball to Huff is ready the next pitch ground ball to

1205
02:22:14,560 --> 02:22:18,080
the right side looks over to his left to glove it turns and throws the garbys for

1206
02:22:18,080 --> 02:22:23,840
the out but the fans still buzzing over the spectacular performance tonight of

1207
02:22:23,840 --> 02:22:28,880
Reggie Jackson you know we told you was the MVP in the 1973 World Series with

1208
02:22:28,880 --> 02:22:33,840
Oakland you know how many home runs he hit in that World Series one I want to

1209
02:22:33,840 --> 02:22:37,840
tell you that last home run he hit we didn't get around to telling you about

1210
02:22:37,840 --> 02:22:44,960
it it was almost dead center that's no man's not it must have been 450 feet

1211
02:22:44,960 --> 02:22:50,040
here's Greg Nettles his 0 4 3 tonight 8 to 3 New York Nettles grounds at foul

1212
02:22:50,040 --> 02:22:56,360
outside of first so these New Yorkers ready to erupt three outs away from a

1213
02:22:56,360 --> 02:23:04,640
world championship Jackson's had nine hits in the series and five have been

1214
02:23:04,640 --> 02:23:08,760
home runs knuckleball and Nettles loan inside one and one and it's we're number

1215
02:23:08,760 --> 02:23:14,080
one from all sides of Yankee Stadium as far as the crowd is concerned the game

1216
02:23:14,080 --> 02:23:20,520
is over it's time to celebrate more on Reggie Jackson is now hitting 450 in

1217
02:23:20,520 --> 02:23:26,560
this series nine for 20 pitch the Nettles swung on and missed one and two he

1218
02:23:26,560 --> 02:23:32,400
scored 10 runs he's had nine hits a double five home runs and eight runs

1219
02:23:32,400 --> 02:23:37,440
battered in five of those tonight they can give him the car right now for the

1220
02:23:37,440 --> 02:23:42,560
MVP knuckleball inside called strike three on the corner and Nettles is out

1221
02:23:42,560 --> 02:23:47,360
that's half third strikeout but the Yankees have opened up a five run

1222
02:23:47,360 --> 02:23:53,520
cushion to take to the ninth inning I guess if anybody's happier than Reggie

1223
02:23:53,520 --> 02:23:57,720
and I doubt that anybody is at the moment it's the owner of the New York

1224
02:23:57,720 --> 02:24:01,520
Yankees or the principal owner George Steinbrenner who's been in the midst of

1225
02:24:01,520 --> 02:24:07,040
this all the way through but the indication tonight knuckleball to

1226
02:24:07,040 --> 02:24:10,160
Lupinella's inside for ball one and oh they're gonna be a lot of people claim

1227
02:24:10,160 --> 02:24:15,040
win that George Steinbrenner bought a world championship but this ball club

1228
02:24:15,040 --> 02:24:19,240
really gel this year here in New York knuckleball outside to know well they

1229
02:24:19,240 --> 02:24:24,080
had a magnificent season last year and then fell apart in the world series this

1230
02:24:24,080 --> 02:24:27,760
year they didn't clinch until they were sitting in the dressing room while it was

1231
02:24:27,760 --> 02:24:32,040
raining outside the day before but they've done it in the series the 2-0

1232
02:24:32,040 --> 02:24:36,880
pitch to Penella's bounce foul over toward the Dodger dugout when the Dodgers

1233
02:24:36,880 --> 02:24:41,880
bat on the ninth their last hopes will rest on the shoulders of Ron say Steve

1234
02:24:41,880 --> 02:24:46,960
Garvey and Dusty Baker I think it's fair to say about the Yankee

1235
02:24:46,960 --> 02:24:51,560
organization too and we'll say it after this pitch but now the loops had fell

1236
02:24:51,560 --> 02:24:56,400
back on the stand in the stands behind home plate two balls to strike beyond

1237
02:24:56,400 --> 02:25:02,400
the purchases by mr. Steinbrenner the first second short third baseman left

1238
02:25:02,400 --> 02:25:08,040
fielder center fielder were all trades the right fielder was a free agent the

1239
02:25:08,040 --> 02:25:12,160
catcher grew up in the organization Penella pops one back at first Garvey

1240
02:25:12,160 --> 02:25:16,280
going back to get it straddling the line and foul territory makes a catch but

1241
02:25:16,280 --> 02:25:21,240
the Yankees get another run on one hit Reggie Jackson's third home run of the

1242
02:25:21,240 --> 02:25:26,960
night and their underfated Jackson races out the right field at the end of eight

1243
02:25:26,960 --> 02:25:36,080
innings in game six Yankees eight Dodgers three you hear that for Reggie Jackson

1244
02:25:36,080 --> 02:25:44,520
going to right field takes off his hat salutes his fans even as they salute him

1245
02:25:44,520 --> 02:25:50,080
go go go Reggie in one of the most spectacular World Series performances

1246
02:25:50,080 --> 02:25:57,520
in history Reggie Jackson adored at the moment occasionally Abhorred but

1247

currently adored and what a way to end the season oh boy you can read all about

1254
02:26:38,640 --> 02:26:43,600
talking about the biggies remember the Super Bowl Sunday January 15th right

1255
02:26:43,600 --> 02:26:49,480
here all the play-by-play action from New Orleans on most of these CBS radio

1256
02:26:49,480 --> 02:26:57,560
network stations and it's the top of the ninth the Los Angeles Dodgers after a

1257
02:26:57,560 --> 02:27:03,720
fantastic season one of the fastest getaways in the history of baseball

1258
02:27:03,720 --> 02:27:09,920
great play by almost all their players Ronnie say those 29 RB eyes in the month

1259
02:27:09,920 --> 02:27:16,640
of April the most magnificent comeback by left-handed Tommy John Steve Garvey

1260
02:27:16,640 --> 02:27:23,880
the shortstop they've had a great year and it looks like it's now down to the

1261
02:27:23,880 --> 02:27:28,000
last three outs Ross when you're certainly right in those comments about

1262
02:27:28,000 --> 02:27:32,400
this Dodger ball club it was good enough to win 103 games this year and

1263
02:27:32,400 --> 02:27:35,760
certainly the fans in Southern California and around the country are

1264
02:27:35,760 --> 02:27:41,640
proud of this Dodger ball club they've come a long way at one year Ron say

1265
02:27:41,640 --> 02:27:45,680
takes a called strike from Mike Torres as we go to the ninth inning that was

1266
02:27:45,680 --> 02:27:50,200
Torres is 100 and second pitch of the evening the next one to say low for a

1267
02:27:50,200 --> 02:27:55,760
ball one and one eight runs eight hits one error for the Yankees but three of

1268
02:27:55,760 --> 02:27:58,760
those hits were home runs by Reggie Jackson and another was a home run by

1269
02:27:58,760 --> 02:28:02,720
Chris Chambliss half of their hits have been home runs say blokes one foul

1270
02:28:02,720 --> 02:28:05,760
it'll be out of play although great nettles goes over takes a look at the

1271
02:28:05,760 --> 02:28:11,600
lands back along the left field line one and two to Ron say who broke his bat

1272
02:28:11,600 --> 02:28:17,840
and we'll have to get a new one so the Yankees one game one and twelve innings

1273
02:28:17,840 --> 02:28:22,400
the Dodgers came back here on Houten's five hitter and then perhaps the big

1274
02:28:22,400 --> 02:28:27,240
surprise of the entire fall classic the Yankees ability to win two straight in

1275
02:28:27,240 --> 02:28:31,680
Los Angeles put the pressure on the Dodgers LA came back in game five but

1276
02:28:31,680 --> 02:28:36,680
tonight the Yankees equal to the challenge and four home runs have given

1277
02:28:36,680 --> 02:28:42,920
them the lead the pitch to say misses for a ball two balls and two strikes not

1278
02:28:42,920 --> 02:28:46,400
many people figured the Yankees could take two out of three a Dodger stadium

1279
02:28:46,400 --> 02:28:51,080
but they did it Friday and Saturday the pitch to say it foul back upstairs

1280
02:28:51,080 --> 02:28:56,040
again outstanding pitching on Friday by Mike Torres and on Saturday by Ron

1281
02:28:56,040 --> 02:29:00,240
Gittery gave the Yankees this three to one lead in the series the Dodgers kept

1282
02:29:00,240 --> 02:29:04,960
it alive Sunday but tonight too much power here at Yankee stadium mostly

1283
02:29:04,960 --> 02:29:12,800
supplied by Mr. Reggie Jackson to pitch to say strike three ball six

1284
02:29:12,800 --> 02:29:19,840
strikeouts for Mike Torres one away in the ninth inning here's Garvey Ross I

1285
02:29:19,840 --> 02:29:25,000
think you put your finger on it the big surprise and the gilded pitching and the

1286
02:29:25,000 --> 02:29:31,040
Yankee staff that came into this series wounded severely wounded gullet hunter

1287
02:29:31,040 --> 02:29:36,440
Torres had had a bad shoulder figure oh I had a bad finger nobody knew that Mike

1288
02:29:36,440 --> 02:29:41,000
would pitch two games such as he has that gullet would win that first game

1289
02:29:41,000 --> 02:29:45,120
Garvey grounds one to the left side bucky Dan takes the big hop almost falls

1290
02:29:45,120 --> 02:29:48,000
down throws the chambliss not in time

1291
02:29:48,000 --> 02:29:52,320
American League umpire Nestor Shylock on top of the play he saw Chris Chambliss do

1292
02:29:52,320 --> 02:29:56,680
the splits but then had slipped as he tried to station himself and get

1293
02:29:56,680 --> 02:30:01,560
something on the throw bucky almost did it but Garvey legs it out for his ninth

1294
02:30:01,560 --> 02:30:05,200
hit of the series the Dodgers have a runner with one away on the ninth inning

1295
02:30:05,200 --> 02:30:09,440
and here comes Dusty Baker and it was the Yankee pitching because until

1296
02:30:09,440 --> 02:30:17,760
tonight the Yankee power did not show itself overpower first pitch to Baker

1297
02:30:17,760 --> 02:30:22,720
ball one and oh Garvey's hit is only the second hit by the Dodgers since the

1298
02:30:22,720 --> 02:30:26,760
fourth inning looks gotta lead off single in the eighth but he was erased on a

1299
02:30:26,760 --> 02:30:31,280
double play Torres to the stretch the pitch to Dusty wind right base at

1300
02:30:31,280 --> 02:30:36,160
Lafayle Garvey to second and holding and the Dodgers have to a board and

1301
02:30:36,160 --> 02:30:40,560
they're not through yet they're gonna go down fighting if they're gonna go down

1302
02:30:40,560 --> 02:30:46,760
Baker with his seventh into the series as eight hits off Torres Lyle has been

1303
02:30:46,760 --> 02:30:50,600
throwing a ballgame in itself in the Yankee bullpen and he's back out there

1304
02:30:50,600 --> 02:30:55,040
again but now with a five run lead Billy Martin knows that even a grand slam

1305
02:30:55,040 --> 02:30:59,800
Homer cannot get the Dodgers even so he's gonna stay with Torres to at least

1306
02:30:59,800 --> 02:31:06,320
face Rick Monday Monday has a single and three at bats Garvey a second Baker at

1307
02:31:06,320 --> 02:31:14,280
first Torres stretches the pitch swing and a miss Reggie Jackson three home

1308
02:31:14,280 --> 02:31:20,840
runs tonight only Babe Ruth ever did that before in a world series game and

1309
02:31:20,840 --> 02:31:24,920
you're joining some pretty elite company when you go with a Bambino five

1310
02:31:24,920 --> 02:31:28,520
homers in the series another record for Reggie Jackson Monday's gonna but leaves

1311
02:31:28,520 --> 02:31:33,120
it foul and Munson's gloves strike two not a bad thought by Rick Monday because

1312
02:31:33,120 --> 02:31:36,920
the Dodgers got to get some people on base about that like Vic Davalio did in

1313
02:31:36,920 --> 02:31:43,320
that game in Philadelphia game number four the Dodgers are not giving up they

1314
02:31:43,320 --> 02:31:48,240
trail by five they have two on 0 and to the count Mike Torres to the stretch

1315
02:31:48,240 --> 02:31:54,320
the pitch to Monday bounce foul behind the plate Monday playing for his 11th

1316
02:31:54,320 --> 02:32:02,400
manager in 12 years Tommy LaSorta missed 44 games this year with back problems

1317
02:32:02,400 --> 02:32:12,080
11 out of 12 never on Monday surprisingly is a lot of his home runs on Monday

1318
02:32:12,080 --> 02:32:18,480
two on one out 938 three Yankees Torres goes to the stretch the 0 2 pitch to

1319
02:32:18,480 --> 02:32:27,120
Monday foul back the Dodgers have left three men on base tonight the Yankees

1320
02:32:27,120 --> 02:32:33,880
only two the home runs have helped clear the sacks four home runs by New York

1321
02:32:33,880 --> 02:32:38,760
three by Jackson one by Chambliss one home run for Los Angeles by Smith

1322
02:32:38,760 --> 02:32:42,600
Garvey away from second Baker from first and Monday steps out as Torres

1323
02:32:42,600 --> 02:32:52,560
takes a little too much time now the stretch here comes the 0 2 pitch low

1324
02:32:52,560 --> 02:33:00,120
one and two Steve Yeager on deck the Yankees looking for the double play that

1325
02:33:00,120 --> 02:33:05,920
could give them their first world title in 15 years hard to believe it's been

1326
02:33:05,920 --> 02:33:13,720
19 62 since the last bagged one Torres set the 1 2 pitch low ball to Monday

1327
02:33:13,720 --> 02:33:22,360
had a good eye to look at that one two and two the Yankees went ahead tonight

1328
02:33:22,360 --> 02:33:26,000
in the fourth inning with three runs that bit at five to three they got two

1329
02:33:26,000 --> 02:33:30,640
in the fifth and one of the eighth on two more home runs by Reggie Jackson and

1330
02:33:30,640 --> 02:33:34,200
it's eight to three in the ninth Chambliss comes in from first base to talk

1331
02:33:34,200 --> 02:33:44,920
to Torrez Monday waiting two balls and two strikes eight runs eight hits one

1332
02:33:44,920 --> 02:33:50,440
error for the Yankees three runs eight hits no errors for the Dodgers Torres

1333
02:33:50,440 --> 02:33:55,440
is set checks his runners the 2 2 pitch there's a fly ball to right field and

1334
02:33:55,440 --> 02:33:59,040
deep Reggie Smith though may have a place on the warning track in front of the

1335
02:33:59,040 --> 02:34:04,400
wall he's got it to away Garvey tags up and moves over to third base Baker

1336
02:34:04,400 --> 02:34:09,880
stays at first and by a matter of maybe 10 feet or less Rick Monday misses a

1337
02:34:09,880 --> 02:34:13,400
three-run homer that would have gotten the Dodgers right back into the ball game

1338
02:34:13,400 --> 02:34:19,240
at eight to six but now two away and Vic Davolio is gonna hit for Steve Yeager as

1339
02:34:19,240 --> 02:34:26,200
the Dodgers are down to their last out of the season and to see to it that

1340
02:34:26,200 --> 02:34:31,600
Yankee Stadium will stay a viable stadium if this game should end on the

1341
02:34:31,600 --> 02:34:38,080
next out there are now at least 50 policemen on each foul line or

1342
02:34:38,080 --> 02:34:43,960
approximately stretched out around the box seats they're going to try to get

1343
02:34:43,960 --> 02:34:50,160
out there to restrain what in a moment probably will be well you use the word

1344
02:34:50,160 --> 02:34:55,600
before Ross an eruption the right field porch they're all sitting on the top of

1345
02:34:55,600 --> 02:34:59,960
the stands and it's going to be a race to see whether the policemen can get out

1346
02:34:59,960 --> 02:35:05,440
there first or whether the fans can drop down onto the field first we're down to

1347
02:35:05,440 --> 02:35:13,720
the last down there's two on Vic Davolio to pinch it and Mike Torres trying to

1348
02:35:13,720 --> 02:35:19,600
wind it up for his second nine inning full game series when Davolio spent much

1349
02:35:19,600 --> 02:35:22,440
of the year in the Mexican league waiting from the left side he bunched down

1350
02:35:22,440 --> 02:35:26,160
a third good but nettles bearhand pick up throw the plate not in time Garvey

1351
02:35:26,160 --> 02:35:31,000
scores is eight to four Baker at second Davolio at first with another one of

1352
02:35:31,000 --> 02:35:35,160
those drag bunts that he does so well that one down the third base line good

1353
02:35:35,160 --> 02:35:39,960
for an RBI the Dodgers are down now eight to four with loophs coming up or

1354
02:35:39,960 --> 02:35:43,720
maybe Lee Lacey I'm sorry Lee Lacey is gonna hit for the pitcher first and then

1355
02:35:43,720 --> 02:35:49,520
loophs if they get that far so the Wiley Vic Davolio who many people say is at

1356
02:35:49,520 --> 02:35:53,400
least 41 years old a man the Dodgers acquired from the Mexican league for

1357
02:35:53,400 --> 02:35:57,560
twenty five hundred dollars in August keeps them alive on the ninth inning

1358
02:35:57,560 --> 02:36:05,400
Billy Martin on his way out the talk to Torres with Lacey do up I think that's

1359
02:36:05,400 --> 02:36:12,080
going to be it for Mike I'm not sure nope Billy's gonna let him stay there is

1360
02:36:12,080 --> 02:36:20,440
now for runs difference is too on Lacey at bat should he get on it would bring

1361
02:36:20,440 --> 02:36:26,320
the tying run to the plate and Vic Davolio as he did in Philadelphia with

1362
02:36:26,320 --> 02:36:31,640
one difference in Philadelphia he dragged one down the first base line here he

1363
02:36:31,640 --> 02:36:36,280
punched one down the third base line the idea was to get on and he did

1364
02:36:36,280 --> 02:36:42,800
firecrackers explode in right field and Reggie Jackson comes in from the right

1365
02:36:42,800 --> 02:36:51,960
field I don't know whether he got hit oh he's going to get a helmet I'm told I

1366
02:36:51,960 --> 02:36:58,560
don't blame him Reggie Jackson for the final out with some of the overzealous

1367
02:36:58,560 --> 02:37:03,880
fans in right field throwing firecrackers on the field Reggie has come in for the

1368
02:37:03,880 --> 02:37:08,760
protection of his batting helmet the police are out in the right centerfield

1369
02:37:08,760 --> 02:37:14,080
area swinging their clubs above their heads trying to keep the fans off the

1370
02:37:14,080 --> 02:37:19,240
edges trying to keep them from jumping into the area when the game is over and

1371
02:37:19,240 --> 02:37:24,000
we see that they've just grabbed one brought him into the dugout I understand

1372
02:37:24,000 --> 02:37:28,400
to that anybody who is caught on the field will spend an equal amount of time

1373
02:37:28,400 --> 02:37:37,080
in the judge now Reggie has come to the dugout he has his batting helmet and

1374
02:37:37,080 --> 02:37:41,960
now he's heading back to the field of battle but now the field of play in

1375
02:37:41,960 --> 02:37:51,760
right field and the announcement goes again on the public address the system

1376
02:37:51,760 --> 02:37:59,600
please control yourself don't throw things on the field including yourself

1377
02:37:59,600 --> 02:38:05,440
Lee Lacey comes out to hit now for Charlie Huff two out ninth inning a

1378
02:38:05,440 --> 02:38:09,560
run over for the Dodgers Baker at second Davilio with a bunch single at first

1379
02:38:09,560 --> 02:38:16,720
base Torres to the stretch in the pitch to Lacey outside for a ball Lacey got

1380
02:38:16,720 --> 02:38:19,840
the pinch single here in the ninth inning of game one off Sparky Lyle which

1381
02:38:19,840 --> 02:38:25,000
got the Dodgers even Torres is ready the 1 0 pitch called strike one and one

1382
02:38:25,000 --> 02:38:30,200
the Dodgers need to get Lacey on to get the time run to the plate they're four

1383
02:38:30,200 --> 02:38:35,520
down Torres who's pitched the nine-hitter stretches deals but popped up

1384
02:38:35,520 --> 02:38:41,160
Torres has got under the Yankees of the world champions for the 21st time and for

1385
02:38:41,160 --> 02:38:46,880
the first time in 15 years Lee Lacey tried to put his way on he popped it up

1386
02:38:46,880 --> 02:38:51,840
it was caught by Mike Torres and New York wins eight to four over Los

1387
02:38:51,840 --> 02:38:57,880
Angeles and takes the world championship four games the two the first time in

1388
02:38:57,880 --> 02:39:03,280
18 years that a world series was completed in six games and the Yankees

1389
02:39:03,280 --> 02:39:08,680
have done it beating the Dodgers the final turtles the Yankees eight runs eight

1390
02:39:08,680 --> 02:39:13,040
hits one error the Dodgers four runs nine hits and no errors the fans are

1391
02:39:13,040 --> 02:39:18,000
swarming on the Yankees stadium and now this is Ross Porter turning it over to

1392
02:39:18,000 --> 02:39:21,440
win Elliott I enjoyed working with you win they too Ross it would have taken

1393
02:39:21,440 --> 02:39:26,760
2,000 cops to keep the ants it looks like an anthill down there the kids have

1394
02:39:26,760 --> 02:39:44,720
come from every section of the stand we will be back I hope in a minute

1395
02:39:56,760 --> 02:40:02,920
right here that's right hey after the work is done while you're still having fun

1396
02:40:02,920 --> 02:40:07,760
anytime the right time to say it

1397
02:40:08,280 --> 02:40:16,120
but why is it a bus to be for any time at all

1398
02:40:16,120 --> 02:40:22,200
that's right after the work is done while you're still having fun looking a

1399
02:40:22,200 --> 02:40:34,880
busy waiting for your call you said you said it every time and I suppose St. Louis

1400
02:40:34,880 --> 02:40:39,760
the signboard in center field is saying we're number one the kids down in the

1401
02:40:39,760 --> 02:40:43,760
field say who cares we're a thousand strong it wouldn't have made any

1402
02:40:43,760 --> 02:40:48,400
difference how many cops are attendance tried to keep them they poured over the

1403
02:40:48,400 --> 02:40:53,200
fences they poured onto the field they're doing snake dances victory dances

1404
02:40:53,200 --> 02:40:57,800
ripping up the bases there'll be no more baseball at Yankee Stadium this year

1405
02:40:57,800 --> 02:41:02,800
the Yankees are the world's champions they won the fourth game eight to four

1406
02:41:02,800 --> 02:41:07,360
they did it with a decimated pitching staff they did it with a superhuman

1407
02:41:07,360 --> 02:41:12,520
effort by Reggie Jackson and this deciding game Mike Torres was the

1408
02:41:12,520 --> 02:41:19,240
pitching hero with two complete series wins 155 pounds of Louisiana Cajun

1409
02:41:19,240 --> 02:41:24,480
but the name of Ron Gidry came in and did what he had to don gullet with hope

1410
02:41:24,480 --> 02:41:29,320
and faith and an injured left arm surprisingly won the first game and had

1411
02:41:29,320 --> 02:41:34,560
we known it then that was really it when gullet came out of nowhere with that

1412
02:41:34,560 --> 02:41:40,360
injured duck arm and won his game it was really all over we didn't know it

1413
02:41:40,360 --> 02:41:45,840
maybe it isn't true but man they're ripping up the patch now we'll continue

1414
02:41:45,840 --> 02:41:51,640
our wrap up in just a moment if you're like most buyers of regular gasoline you

1415
02:41:51,640 --> 02:41:56,480
probably think unleaded gasoline's just don't perform sure unleaded gives you a

1416
02:41:56,480 --> 02:42:01,680
nice clean engine but it just doesn't have the pep of your regular or for that

1417
02:42:01,680 --> 02:42:12,080
matter the low price well you regular buyers are in for a little surprise

1418
02:42:12,080 --> 02:42:18,240
getty unleaded regular get his unleaded gasoline has a high enough octane to be

1419
02:42:18,240 --> 02:42:24,200
classified as regular most unleaded don't yet getty unleaded regular actually

1420
02:42:24,200 --> 02:42:29,080
sells for less per gallon than most other major unleaded so if you want the

1421
02:42:29,080 --> 02:42:33,400
octane performance of regular plus the clean running smoothness of unleaded and

1422
02:42:33,400 --> 02:42:41,560
you want to pay less you want getty unleaded regular getty once again we've

1423
02:42:41,560 --> 02:42:44,800
got what's best for your car

02:42:55,880 --> 02:43:02,960
bars jumping around strange wonderful impossible it's Reggie Jackson's three

1426
02:43:02,960 --> 02:43:08,800

1437
02:44:28,960 --> 02:44:32,820
from our vantage point here in the Yankee clubhouse at Yankee Stadium in

1438
02:44:32,820 --> 02:44:37,080
New York this is Ralph Conner and in the Yankee clubhouse we have bedlam just

1439
02:44:37,080 --> 02:44:41,200
taking place here champagne is being poured all over the opening round was

1440
02:44:41,200 --> 02:44:45,200
spilled all over Bill White the Yankee announcer as he was talking to the

1441
02:44:45,200 --> 02:44:51,160
commissioner baseball also a quick toast to manager Billy Martin Billy Martin

1442
02:44:51,160 --> 02:44:54,520
said he'd be here in just a second but we have maybe a hundred two hundred

1443
02:44:54,520 --> 02:44:58,840
people in the clubhouse and it's hard to get anybody to move around but the Yankees

1444
02:44:58,840 --> 02:45:02,640
coming into the clubhouse coming in somewhat quietly at the beginning they

1445
02:45:02,640 --> 02:45:06,640
came in the young boys came in first running in and congratulating each other

1446
02:45:06,640 --> 02:45:09,580
and then finally it was Billy Martin coming in and receiving the

1447
02:45:09,580 --> 02:45:14,000
congratulations of Bill White and then right after that Reggie Jackson coming

1448
02:45:14,000 --> 02:45:18,440
in and Reggie going over to his locker in the clubhouse very quietly taking off

1449
02:45:18,440 --> 02:45:22,240
his glasses no one at first noticing that he had arrived in the clubhouse and

1450
02:45:22,240 --> 02:45:27,200
then after getting the glasses off he sort of sat in his area there and I'm

1451
02:45:27,200 --> 02:45:31,560
sure was more or less contemplating the tremendous emotion that must have come

1452
02:45:31,560 --> 02:45:36,580
out as he hit the three home runs that really put the Yankees over the top so

1453
02:45:36,580 --> 02:45:40,680
we're waiting as we try to come up with someone that we can talk to as this

1454
02:45:40,680 --> 02:45:44,520
crowd keeps milling around keeps milling about us and right now our

1455
02:45:44,520 --> 02:45:48,520

Take only as directed

1466
02:46:17,880 --> 02:46:22,880
Back in 1973 Reggie Jackson was the hero of the last ball game the seventh game of the World Series

1467
02:46:22,880 --> 02:46:24,880
against the New York Mets and Reggie you've done it again

1468
02:46:24,880 --> 02:46:29,840
Well thanks a lot Ralph it's a great feeling I'm just glad that there are a lot of people

1469
02:46:29,840 --> 02:46:30,840
that shared along with me

1470
02:46:30,840 --> 02:46:34,840
You know I watched you come into the clubhouse and you came in rather quietly took your glasses off

1471
02:46:34,840 --> 02:46:38,840
and what was going through your mind at that point must have been tremendously emotional

1472
02:46:38,840 --> 02:46:43,840
I was beat I was a little afraid of getting off the field the fans were out there and it was a struggle

1473
02:46:43,840 --> 02:46:48,840
and I wore glasses and I get to the point where I lose my depth perception you know and I was kind of frightened

1474
02:46:48,840 --> 02:46:53,840
because I don't know where I'm stepping or anything you know but I just want to get inside and get my breath

1475
02:46:53,840 --> 02:46:54,840
because I was really tired

1476
02:46:54,840 --> 02:46:56,840
Then you got the champagne all over you

1477
02:46:56,840 --> 02:47:03,840
That's always like a you know the taste of victory and it symbolizes victory and championship and it's just nice

1478
02:47:03,840 --> 02:47:09,840
You know Reggie three home runs in the final game is a feat that Babe Ruth once did and I'm sure that you'll be thinking about that

1479
02:47:09,840 --> 02:47:11,840
It's fantastic accomplishment

1480
02:47:11,840 --> 02:47:20,840
Well Ralph I don't know there's you guys throw the word superstar around a lot and you know guys like Maze and Aaron and Ruth and DiMaggio and Mantle

1481
02:47:20,840 --> 02:47:23,840
and at least for one day I can say I had a day of one

1482
02:47:23,840 --> 02:47:26,840
You've been saying that New York is not quite your town and might be now

1483
02:47:26,840 --> 02:47:32,840
Well we'll see it's I can't do much more neither can the team and either can the town they were very supportive

1484
02:47:32,840 --> 02:47:38,840
I'm glad we won for the fans and I'm glad we won for just a lot of people here I think it's good for the town

1485
02:47:38,840 --> 02:47:41,840
I'm sure it'll be a happy winner for people in New York they need it

1486
02:47:41,840 --> 02:47:43,840
And certainly good for Reggie Jackson

1487
02:47:43,840 --> 02:47:52,840
Well it's great for me but I'm I really don't count I'll have a good time and you know I'll relish in the things that will happen to me

1488
02:47:52,840 --> 02:47:58,840
but I can say I know there's a God out there and everybody will be happy and that's what's important

1489
02:47:58,840 --> 02:48:00,840
What do you got planned for tonight?

1490
02:48:00,840 --> 02:48:04,840
Well go to a little place over on 76th Street

1491
02:48:04,840 --> 02:48:12,840
Jimmy McMullins to have a couple of beers and share good times with some friends and my father's here and he's real happy so I'm excited

1492
02:48:12,840 --> 02:48:15,840
Thank you very much Reggie Jackson a great series

1493
02:48:15,840 --> 02:48:16,840
Thanks Ralph thanks very much

1494
02:48:16,840 --> 02:48:22,840
Reggie Jackson of course Reggie with a fantastic series having three hormones in the final game

1495
02:48:22,840 --> 02:48:26,840
Now more details after this message

1496
02:48:26,840 --> 02:48:30,840
Recently a survey was taken of the prices of premium gasoline

1497
02:48:30,840 --> 02:48:35,840
The survey covered hundreds of service stations in the northeastern United States

1498
02:48:35,840 --> 02:48:38,840
Virtually every major oil company was included

1499
02:48:38,840 --> 02:48:46,840
Right now I'd like to tell you the results of that survey

1500
02:48:46,840 --> 02:48:50,840
In Portland, Maine, Getty premium sold for less per gallon

1501
02:48:50,840 --> 02:48:54,840
In Boston, Getty premium sold for less

1502
02:48:54,840 --> 02:49:00,840
In northern New Jersey, Philadelphia and New York, Getty premium sold for less

1503
02:49:00,840 --> 02:49:08,840
In fact in every state survey Getty premium sold for less per gallon than most major premiums

1504
02:49:08,840 --> 02:49:11,840
More premium gas for your money

1505
02:49:11,840 --> 02:49:15,840
That has to be the best mileage ingredient you can buy

1506
02:49:15,840 --> 02:49:20,840
So the next time you pull in for gas, pull in for Getty premium gasoline

1507
02:49:20,840 --> 02:49:32,840
Getty once again we've got what's best for your car

1508
02:49:32,840 --> 02:49:36,840
Right now here in the clubhouse we have the commissioner baseball Bowie Kuhn and Bowie

1509
02:49:36,840 --> 02:49:39,840
This is one great day for you and of course a great year for baseball

1510
02:49:39,840 --> 02:49:43,840
Well I think it's a fine culmination to what has been an outstanding year Ralph

1511
02:49:43,840 --> 02:49:46,840
I think this has been an exciting series

1512
02:49:46,840 --> 02:49:51,840
I don't know when we've seen such a home run barrage in the series and Reggie of course was super spectacular today

1513
02:49:51,840 --> 02:49:56,840
As was Mike Torres so it's been a great win for the Yankees and we're all proud of in baseball

1514
02:49:56,840 --> 02:50:02,840
Well it took place in this big city here and I think the fans riding the ups and downs of the Yankees throughout this whole season

1515
02:50:02,840 --> 02:50:06,840
Finally realized that it's over and it really ended with a bang

1516
02:50:06,840 --> 02:50:08,840
Well you know it's been a roller coaster for the Yankees this year

1517
02:50:08,840 --> 02:50:12,840
They've been a very dramatic team with a lot of contention on them

1518
02:50:12,840 --> 02:50:16,840
But they've been an exciting team and I think they showed today that they're real champions

1519
02:50:16,840 --> 02:50:19,840
Alright Bowie Kuhn the commissioner of baseball thank you very much Bowie

1520
02:50:19,840 --> 02:50:21,840
Okay Ralph nice to be with you

1521
02:50:21,840 --> 02:50:25,840
So here in the Yankee clubhouse where you still have this tremendous crowd milling around

1522
02:50:25,840 --> 02:50:29,840
It's hard to get to anybody it's almost impossible as a matter of fact

1523
02:50:29,840 --> 02:50:34,840
And the big story the home runs by Reggie Jackson the fine pitching by Mike Torres

1524
02:50:34,840 --> 02:50:37,840
Mike the winning pitcher and two of the ballgains for the Yankees

1525
02:50:37,840 --> 02:50:42,840
As they won the series four games to two the first game going to the Dodgers

1526
02:50:42,840 --> 02:50:45,840
Pardon me but to the Yankees by a score of four to three and twelve innings

1527
02:50:45,840 --> 02:50:49,840
In that ball game the winning pitcher was Sparky Lyle the second game

1528
02:50:49,840 --> 02:50:54,840
Going to the Dodgers six to one as Burt Hooten pits the winning victory of that ball game

1529
02:50:54,840 --> 02:50:57,840
And then the Yankees going to Dodgers stadium winning out there

1530
02:50:57,840 --> 02:51:00,840
They defeated the Dodgers by a score of five to three four to two

1531
02:51:00,840 --> 02:51:03,840
And then LA coming back to move it back to New York City

1532
02:51:03,840 --> 02:51:07,840
As the Dodgers won the fifth game by a score of ten to four

1533
02:51:07,840 --> 02:51:11,840
And the sixth game going to the Dodgers by a score of eight to four

1534
02:51:11,840 --> 02:51:13,840
More after this word

1535
02:51:13,840 --> 02:51:15,840
New mellow roast is here

1536
02:51:15,840 --> 02:51:18,840
This can't be coffee cause it tastes so smooth

1537
02:51:18,840 --> 02:51:21,840
They took the bitter taste out

1538
02:51:21,840 --> 02:51:24,840
This can't be coffee cause it tastes so smooth

1539
02:51:24,840 --> 02:51:26,840
How they take the bitter taste out

1540
02:51:26,840 --> 02:51:30,840
New mellow roast starts with three kinds of rich robust coffees

1541
02:51:30,840 --> 02:51:33,840
Then blends in roasted grain to take away the bitter edge

1542
02:51:33,840 --> 02:51:37,840
So you enjoy a delicious full flavored coffee taste

1543
02:51:37,840 --> 02:51:40,840
Mellow roast coffee and grain beverage new from General Foods

1544
02:51:40,840 --> 02:51:44,840
They took the bitter taste out

1545
02:51:44,840 --> 02:51:47,840
I'm talking with the president of the National League, Chubb Feney

1546
02:51:47,840 --> 02:51:50,840
And Chubb I know that you went down to a tough defeat here tonight

1547
02:51:50,840 --> 02:51:54,840
As the Yankees really prevailed with their home run hitting in the final game

1548
02:51:54,840 --> 02:51:56,840
Well we're really very disappointed

1549
02:51:56,840 --> 02:52:00,840
You know the Dodgers are a super ball club and I think they played very well

1550
02:52:00,840 --> 02:52:02,840
It's just one of those things

1551
02:52:02,840 --> 02:52:05,840
Too much power, too much Reggie Jackson tonight

1552
02:52:05,840 --> 02:52:07,840
Wish we had another day at him tomorrow

1553
02:52:07,840 --> 02:52:11,840
Well it's all over Chubb and I'm sorry you'll have to wait until next year as they say in Brooklyn

1554
02:52:11,840 --> 02:52:14,840
That's right it's a long time but we'll make it in 78

1555
02:52:14,840 --> 02:52:17,840
Okay Chubb Feney, president of the National League

1556
02:52:17,840 --> 02:52:19,840
Right here we have the winning manager

1557
02:52:19,840 --> 02:52:21,840
We have Billy Martin and Billy congratulations

1558
02:52:21,840 --> 02:52:23,840
Thank you Ralph it was quite a season

1559
02:52:23,840 --> 02:52:26,840
You came into the clubhouse kind of quietly

1560
02:52:26,840 --> 02:52:28,840
The emotion of it all sort of getting to

1561
02:52:28,840 --> 02:52:30,840
It caught up to me finally

1562
02:52:30,840 --> 02:52:34,840
How about in that last inning do you have any doubts about the fact that Mike Torres would finish the ball game?

1563
02:52:34,840 --> 02:52:37,840
Well he was throwing hard and I had to spark you ready for about four innings

1564
02:52:37,840 --> 02:52:39,840
So I wasn't worried if I had to go to sparking

1565
02:52:39,840 --> 02:52:42,840
I know one thing you did well you gave that home run sign enough times

1566
02:52:42,840 --> 02:52:44,840
Well I wish I could take the credit for that Ralph

1567
02:52:44,840 --> 02:52:48,840
But our guys are just their battlers and they probably been reading in the paper

1568
02:52:48,840 --> 02:52:51,840
Where they haven't been hitting any home runs and then maybe they decided to bust loose

1569
02:52:51,840 --> 02:52:53,840
I can see them coming around the last three or four days

1570
02:52:53,840 --> 02:52:55,840
I can see the left handers bats starting to come around

1571
02:52:55,840 --> 02:52:58,840
Billy Martin and winning manager Billy thank you very much

1572
02:52:58,840 --> 02:53:04,840
Well there it is the Yankees have defeated the Dodgers to win the 1977 World Series in six games

1573
02:53:04,840 --> 02:53:09,840
Once again tonight's score the New York Yankees eight and the Los Angeles Dodgers four

1574
02:53:09,840 --> 02:53:12,840
This broadcast has been sponsored by Ford Motor Credit Company

1575
02:53:12,840 --> 02:53:15,840
The people want to give you credit for being you

And by the brewers of Budweiser King of beers

1579
02:53:25,840 --> 02:53:29,840
Now for Winelid and Ross Porter our statistician John Gallagher

1580

Our engineers Joe DeBona and Steve Kersh

1581
02:53:32,840 --> 02:53:36,840
Our producer Dave Kerman and our executive producer Frank Miller

1582
02:53:36,840 --> 02:53:41,840
This is Ralph Kiner saying so long from Yankee Stadium on the CBS Radio Network

1583
02:53:41,840 --> 02:53:45,840
This is WCBS in New York as one minute before 11 o'clock

1584
02:53:45,840 --> 02:53:50,840
As you just heard the Yankees won the World Series with an eight to four victory tonight over the Dodgers

1585
02:53:50,840 --> 02:53:55,840
In the NBA the Pistons beat the Jersey Nets one ten to ninety three tonight

1586
02:53:55,840 --> 02:53:58,840
And it was the Knicks over the Kansas City Kings one twenty to one thirteen

1587
02:53:58,840 --> 02:54:01,840
Islanders in Los Angeles ended up scoreless

1588
02:54:01,840 --> 02:54:03,840
Spencer Ross was covering the Knicks game for News 88

1589
02:54:03,840 --> 02:54:06,840
Ed Engels and Art Athens covering the Yankees game up at the stadium

1590
02:54:06,840 --> 02:54:10,840
We'll be hearing from all of them later on in this night as New York celebrates

1591
02:54:10,840 --> 02:54:13,840
It's 55 degrees in Manhattan with humidity at 64%

1592
02:54:13,840 --> 02:54:15,840
A Southwest wind at ten miles per hour

1593
02:54:15,840 --> 02:54:19,840
Barometer just under 30 inches and going up a partly cloudy night

1594
02:54:19,840 --> 02:54:22,840
Breezy and cool with a chance of showers developing after midnight

1595
02:54:22,840 --> 02:54:24,840
Temperatures of 43 to 48

1596
02:54:24,840 --> 02:54:28,840
Overcast damp and cool tomorrow with occasional rain high in the middle 50s

1597
02:54:28,840 --> 02:54:31,840
And again in the city now 55 degrees

1598
02:54:31,840 --> 02:54:35,840
I'm Robert Vaughan now stay tuned as CBS covers the world at 11

1599
02:54:37,840 --> 02:54:41,840
CBS News the New York Yankees win the World Series in six games

1600
02:54:41,840 --> 02:54:44,840
Defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight eight to four

1601
02:54:44,840 --> 02:54:47,840
I'm David Jackson reporting on the CBS Radio Network

1602
02:54:47,840 --> 02:54:51,840
And we have a report from Yankee Stadium and win Elliott of CBS Sports

1603
02:54:52,840 --> 02:54:55,840
Dave the center field scoreboard and signboard says it

1604
02:54:55,840 --> 02:55:02,840
Yankees 1977 World's Champions the second complete game pitching win by Mike Torres

1605
02:55:02,840 --> 02:55:06,840
He struggled for a while but he stayed in it allowed only four runs and eight hits

1606
02:55:06,840 --> 02:55:12,840
The Yankees trailing to nothing after an error opened the gates for the Dodgers in the first inning

1607
02:55:12,840 --> 02:55:16,840
Chamble as a two run homer Reggie Smith gave them back to lead the Dodgers

1608
02:55:16,840 --> 02:55:21,840
With a singleton in the right field stands and the rest of the way it was all Reggie Jackson

1609
02:55:21,840 --> 02:55:24,840
A two run homer in the fourth, a two run homer in the fifth

1610
02:55:24,840 --> 02:55:27,840
And a two run homer in one run homer in the eighth

1611
02:55:27,840 --> 02:55:32,840
It was one of the superior performances in all World Series history

1612
02:55:32,840 --> 02:55:36,840
And the guys who were supposed to do it did it the hard way

1613
02:55:36,840 --> 02:55:44,840
The pinstripe champions of all baseball the New York Yankees win Elliott for CBS News from Yankee Stadium

1614
02:55:44,840 --> 02:55:51,840
Reggie Jackson's three home runs in one World Series game equals a record held only by Babe Ruth

1615
02:55:51,840 --> 02:55:55,840
So for the Yankees tonight a lot of champagne and celebrating for the Dodgers

1616
02:55:55,840 --> 02:55:59,840
As it was so many times when they were in Brooklyn it's wait till next year

1617
02:55:59,840 --> 02:56:02,840
More news in a minute

1618
02:56:29,840 --> 02:56:34,840
On Sunday January 2nd we'll take you to Dallas to find out who will come out on top of the Cotton Bowl College Classic

1619
02:56:34,840 --> 02:56:41,840
Moving to the weekend of January 14th at 15th you'll hear about Superbowl's pass from win Elliott on a spectacular Super Bowl weekend special

1620
02:56:41,840 --> 02:56:46,840
17 broadcasts recalling exciting moments for football's greatest event of the year

1621
02:56:46,840 --> 02:56:51,840
Then we wrap it up with all the play by play action of the Super Bowl itself on Sunday January 15th

1622
02:56:51,840 --> 02:56:54,840
It may sound like there's a lot but that's just what we mean

1623
02:56:54,840 --> 02:57:03,840
The best in postseason college and pro football is yours this winter from CBS Radio Sports over most of the CBS Radio Network stations

1624
02:57:03,840 --> 02:57:10,840
Terrorist bombs exploded overnight in northern Italy violent footnotes to the end of a hijacking

1625
02:57:10,840 --> 02:57:15,840
Blasts wrecked three showrooms for German-made cars in Turin and Leghorn, Italy

1626
02:57:15,840 --> 02:57:20,840
No injuries are reported anonymous callers said bombs were planted in memory of three anarchists

1627
02:57:20,840 --> 02:57:28,840
Reportedly committed suicide in jail. Those deaths came after West German commandos stormed a Lufthansa airliner in Somalia

1628
02:57:28,840 --> 02:57:32,840
Freed 86 hostages and killed three of the four hijackers yesterday

1629
02:57:32,840 --> 02:57:36,840
Freedom for the jailed anarchists had been one of the hijackers' demands

1630
02:57:36,840 --> 02:57:42,840
The end of the hijacking also prompted violent demonstrations by leftists in Rome and Athens

1631
02:57:42,840 --> 02:57:48,840
But in Frankfurt the commandos returned to a hero's welcome and praise from many world leaders

1632
02:57:48,840 --> 02:57:55,840
At the UN today, Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim said there's a move for immediate consideration of the issues of terrorism and hostage taking

1633
02:57:55,840 --> 02:58:01,840
This under threat of a two-day strike by many of the world's airline pilots if no UN action is taken

1634
02:58:01,840 --> 02:58:07,840
House Senate conferees began work today on an energy bill saying they were in a compromising mood

1635
02:58:07,840 --> 02:58:13,840
The mood apparently didn't last long after four hours of debate they got stuck on the first issue discussed

1636
02:58:13,840 --> 02:58:19,840
Whether utility companies should be allowed to finance and install home insulation. The House says no, the Senate says yes

1637
02:58:19,840 --> 02:58:25,840
After a meeting with President Carter today, Senator Abraham Rybakov said the conferees would work closely with the White House

1638
02:58:25,840 --> 02:58:28,840
Energy, he says, is a very important issue

1639
02:58:28,840 --> 02:58:37,840
We're talking about taxes that will raise between now 1985 and the neighborhood of $50 billion

1640
02:58:37,840 --> 02:58:46,840
But with a nation that needs a trillion dollars in the next 10 years to develop ultimate sources of energy

1641
02:58:46,840 --> 02:58:56,840
There's a lot of money that's needed and we have to make sure that we husband our scarce tax dollars for developing ultimate sources of energy

1642
02:58:56,840 --> 02:59:03,840
Senate and House conferees resume work on the energy bills tomorrow afternoon. More news in a minute

1643
02:59:03,840 --> 02:59:11,840
Say this is Bob Hope. I've spent a happy lifetime on radio and television and I'd like to put in a good word for the hobby that made broadcasting possible

1644
02:59:11,840 --> 02:59:17,840
You see about 60 years ago some early radio experimenters developed our first stations

1645
02:59:17,840 --> 02:59:22,840
Today there are nearly a million amateur radio operators around the world talking to each other

1646
02:59:22,840 --> 02:59:30,840
Standing ready to provide us with emergency communication in time of disaster and still developing new electronic techniques

1647
02:59:30,840 --> 02:59:35,840
They have their own amateur television stations and even satellites circling the globe

1648
02:59:35,840 --> 02:59:42,840
On some of our trips to isolated spots overseas, my troop and I kept in touch with home through amateur radio stations

1649
02:59:42,840 --> 02:59:52,840
You want to know how you can join in? Now that many people are discovering the fun of talking by personal radio, maybe you'd like the really exciting and wonderful world of amateur radio

1650
02:59:52,840 --> 02:59:54,840
It takes study but it's worth it

1651
02:59:54,840 --> 03:00:01,840
Now free information right to the American Radio Relay League Newington, Connecticut 06111

1652
03:00:01,840 --> 03:00:05,840
Like they say tune in the world with amateur radio

1653
03:00:05,840 --> 03:00:10,840
A warning today from Vice President Mondale to South Africa

1654
03:00:10,840 --> 03:00:19,840
In a Johannesburg newspaper interview Mondale says it will be increasingly difficult for the United States to maintain good relations with the white South African government

1655
03:00:19,840 --> 03:00:23,840
Unless political changes take place in Johannesburg

1656
03:00:23,840 --> 03:00:29,840
It is crucial, he says, for the South African government to open a dialogue with non-white leaders

1657
03:00:29,840 --> 03:00:31,840
I'm David Jackson, CBS News

1658
03:00:31,840 --> 03:00:38,840
Robert Vaughan on News 88 where you heard the Yankees win it all tonight at six minutes after 11 o'clock WCBS News time

1659
03:00:38,840 --> 03:00:41,840
More on that Yankees game, Reggie Jackson's three homers

1660
03:00:41,840 --> 03:00:45,840
Connie Breesy and Kool, a chance of showers developing after midnight

1661
03:00:45,840 --> 03:00:49,840
Temperatures of 43 to 48 with southerly winds at 8 to 16 miles per hour

1662
03:00:49,840 --> 03:00:53,840
Overcast damp and cool tomorrow with occasional rain and a high in the middle 50s

1663
03:00:53,840 --> 03:00:56,840
Southeast winds at 10 to 20 miles per hour

1664
03:00:56,840 --> 03:01:00,840
Thursday clearing Breesy and Kool, high 55 to 60 degrees

1665
03:01:00,840 --> 03:01:04,840
Looking just a little further ahead from Dr. Bob Harris and our weather center on Friday

1666
03:01:04,840 --> 03:01:09,840
Increasingly cloudy, shower and that should come sometimes late in the day

1667
03:01:09,840 --> 03:01:13,840
A high in the upper 50s on Friday against 54 degrees now in New York

1668
03:01:13,840 --> 03:01:16,840
Mostly cloudy at the moment with 64% humidity

1669
03:01:16,840 --> 03:01:21,840
As you doubtless heard a little bit earlier with a three home runs by Reggie Jackson

1670
03:01:21,840 --> 03:01:25,840
A two run homer by Chris Chambliss tonight, the New York Yankees beat

1671
03:01:25,840 --> 03:01:30,840
The Dodgers, 8 to 4 up in Yankee Stadium and they won the World Series in game number 6

1672
03:01:30,840 --> 03:01:35,840
Reggie Jackson, the most valuable player, a car he won tonight saying he's going to give it to his kid sister

1673
03:01:35,840 --> 03:01:38,840
We have WCBS reporter Art Athens with the fans

1674
03:01:38,840 --> 03:01:47,840
And there it is, the final out of the game, something Yankee fans have waited for for 15 years and this fight warnings to stay off the field

1675
03:01:47,840 --> 03:01:53,840
The field is mobbed, Reggie Jackson like a shot for his way in to right field

1676
03:01:53,840 --> 03:01:58,840
Purses a few players, a few spectators out of the way and makes it to the dugout

1677
03:01:58,840 --> 03:02:07,840
And there goes the pitcher's mound, warmed and it looks like a lot of fans trying to figure out how to get the rubber up the faces

1678
03:02:07,840 --> 03:02:12,840
It disappeared right away and police, New York City police are out on the field

1679
03:02:12,840 --> 03:02:21,840
Night clubs are swinging at a few and they've got a guy down and it looks like out cold over at third base where he might have been trying to steal the bag

1680
03:02:21,840 --> 03:02:32,840
Thousands of fans pouring out on the field, some of them carrying sides despite the fact that at almost every inch of the gates around Yankee Stadium

1681
03:02:32,840 --> 03:02:38,840
They're coming from the stands into the field, there are police, mounted police now hit the field

1682
03:02:38,840 --> 03:02:46,840
Coming out through the right field gate and they're knocking down some fans, they're using billy clubs, they're not fooling around

1683
03:02:46,840 --> 03:02:52,840
There go a few more firecrackers out in right field and the field is mobbed

1684
03:02:52,840 --> 03:02:58,840
Somebody's rolled up the on deck batter circle and is trying to figure out a way to get out of here with it

1685
03:02:58,840 --> 03:03:03,840
I don't know whether it'll make it very far, he's trying to walk back into stands and he just got pinched

1686
03:03:03,840 --> 03:03:10,840
Oh, Ned Trubelin, Ned Trubelin, he doesn't want to give it up, he's got that on deck circle and he won't give it up

1687
03:03:10,840 --> 03:03:25,840
A few nights, Dick swings, some bases disappear and all in all after 15 years I guess a lot of these fans figure they're entitled to get out there and tear up Yankee Stadium

1688
03:03:25,840 --> 03:03:33,840
Most of the 56,000 fans are staying in their seats watching the spectacle out on the field

1689
03:03:33,840 --> 03:03:41,840
The police have promised to make a rest and I'm sure they'll make a few, I see about a half a dozen people down on the ground

1690
03:03:41,840 --> 03:03:45,840
They've been hit with might sticks and they're being pulled off the field

1691
03:03:45,840 --> 03:03:52,840
A lot of them are still walking around, victory sides, number one sides, paying little or no attention to the police

1692
03:03:52,840 --> 03:04:05,840
And it doesn't look like there's too much they can do as the scoreboard clashes Yankee, 1977 World Champs at Yankee Stadium, this is our death

1693
03:04:05,840 --> 03:04:11,840
And we have a lot more sports coming up, of course in addition to Art up at the stadium, we had our sports director at Ingalls there

1694
03:04:11,840 --> 03:04:17,840
While our Spencer Ross was at Madison Square Garden for the Knicks opener, the Knicks beat the Kansas City Kings tonight to get underway

1695
03:04:17,840 --> 03:04:23,840
The Knicks lost, the Islanders in Los Angeles scoreless, we'll be getting Jim Kelly with all the rest of the sports news coming up shortly

1696
03:04:23,840 --> 03:04:30,840
On WCBS it's 10 after 11, New York telephone will begin charging higher rates next week under the terms of a temporary rate hike plan

1697
03:04:30,840 --> 03:04:34,840
Approved recently by the Public Service Commission, Bob Van Zandt as a phone company spokesman

1698
03:04:34,840 --> 03:04:43,840
We're complying with the State Public Service Commission to implement their temporary rate award of $245 million

1699
03:04:43,840 --> 03:04:54,840
Which they so stayed on October the 13th and we are complying with that by filing these charges that will be in effect for approximately six weeks

1700
03:04:54,840 --> 03:05:00,840
The higher rates will be in effect until the PSC rules on a proposal to further increase rates, that decision is due by the end of November

1701
03:05:00,840 --> 03:05:07,840
The higher rates taking effect next week will boost monthly charges for a residential customer by an average of 21%

1702
03:05:07,840 --> 03:05:12,840
The Concorde SST arrives tomorrow in New York City, Tom Foday has the story

1703
03:05:12,840 --> 03:05:19,840
After all the demonstrations and court fights there is no more question here that the British are coming and so are the French in their supersonic transport

1704
03:05:19,840 --> 03:05:21,840
British Airways spokesman Norman Lorney

1705
03:05:21,840 --> 03:05:27,840
We are expecting the first Concorde to land at New York tomorrow about 11 o'clock in the morning

1706
03:05:27,840 --> 03:05:30,840
The first Concorde test takeoff from Kennedy will come the following day

1707
03:05:30,840 --> 03:05:37,840
For now opponents say there will be no protest but the near future, Brian Levinson of Concorde Alert says that will be different

1708
03:05:37,840 --> 03:05:42,840
If we have to demonstrate at Kennedy airport that will be before any commercial landings of Concorde

1709
03:05:42,840 --> 03:05:47,840
We are going to turn Kennedy airport into New Orleans on Mardi Gras day

1710
03:05:47,840 --> 03:05:50,840
That's what it's going to look like because we are going to have those cars like floats

1711
03:05:50,840 --> 03:05:55,840
But now it will be the Concorde and not the protest cars that will be the focus of attention at JFK

1712
03:05:55,840 --> 03:05:57,840
Tom Foday in New York

1713
03:05:57,840 --> 03:06:01,840
It's 11 after 11 o'clock because of that exciting ball game the Yanks won tonight

1714
03:06:01,840 --> 03:06:08,840
We are behind on our racing we will be getting the wrap up of everything that happened in Yonkers about 30 minutes from right now

1716
03:06:12,840 --> 03:06:15,840

1743
03:08:22,840 --> 03:08:25,840
14 minutes after 11 WCBS Sports Time

1744
03:08:27,840 --> 03:08:31,840
I'm Jim Kelly, it's sports time, more precisely World Series time

1745
03:08:31,840 --> 03:08:33,840
I won't hit a home run everybody else did though

1746
03:08:33,840 --> 03:08:38,840
Game 6, the Dodgers had to win, they took a quick 2-0 lead in the first inning after two men were out

1747
03:08:38,840 --> 03:08:41,840
An error, a pass ball, a walk and then a Steve Garvey triple

1748
03:08:41,840 --> 03:08:44,840
The Yankees went down 1-2-3 in their half of the first inning

1749
03:08:44,840 --> 03:08:48,840
Los Angeles the same in the top of the second but in the Yankee half of inning number two

1750
03:08:48,840 --> 03:08:51,840
Reggie Jackson walks on four straight pitches and then Bert Hooten delivers

1751
03:08:51,840 --> 03:08:54,840
One pitch to Shamless, a drive to the right center field and deep

1752
03:08:54,840 --> 03:08:59,840
Way back, going, going, a home run for Chris Shamless and we're tied 2-2

1753
03:08:59,840 --> 03:09:02,840
But not for long as Ross Porter called it here on CBS Ready

1754
03:09:02,840 --> 03:09:05,840
Reggie Smith steps up and the Los Angeles half of the third

1755
03:09:05,840 --> 03:09:08,840
The 1-1 pitch to Smith, there's a drive to center field and deep

1756
03:09:08,840 --> 03:09:11,840
Rivers turns, that one's going to be gone again in the right center field

1757
03:09:11,840 --> 03:09:17,840
Pavilion and the Dodgers regain the lead, 3-2 on Reggie Smith's third home run of the World Series

1758
03:09:17,840 --> 03:09:23,840
But Los Angeles' 3-2 lead was short lived as Thurman Munson singled and Reggie Jackson dug in

1759
03:09:23,840 --> 03:09:29,840
There's a drive to right field and deep, Smith going back, away back, it's gone, home run for Reggie Jackson

1760
03:09:29,840 --> 03:09:33,840
Four 3 Yankees, they had another run as Chris Shamless had a soft fly ball drop in

1761
03:09:33,840 --> 03:09:37,840
Between Dusty Baker and Bill Russell in short left field, that went for a double

1762
03:09:37,840 --> 03:09:42,840
And he moved over to third base, Lou Pinella then drove him home with a sacrifice fly for a 5-3 Yankee lead

1763
03:09:42,840 --> 03:09:47,840
And that's the way it was until the New York 5th inning when Reggie Jackson is up once again

1764
03:09:47,840 --> 03:09:54,840
The pitch, drive to right field and deep, way back, going, going, gone, another home run for Reggie Jackson

1765
03:09:54,840 --> 03:09:56,840
And the Yankees lead 7-3

1766
03:09:56,840 --> 03:10:00,840
Amazing, and the crowd thought so too, they wouldn't stop chanting Reggie, Reggie

1767
03:10:00,840 --> 03:10:03,840
Until he came out of the dugout once again and dopted his cap

1768
03:10:03,840 --> 03:10:08,840
That reaction though was small by comparison when Reggie Jackson came up, yet again in the New York 8th

1769
03:10:08,840 --> 03:10:13,840
Jackson with four runs batted in, sends a fly ball to center field and deep, that's going to be way back

1770
03:10:13,840 --> 03:10:18,840
And that's going to be gone, Reggie Jackson has hit his third home run of the game

1771
03:10:18,840 --> 03:10:22,840
And that ties a World Series record set by Babe Ruth and Reggie did it

1772
03:10:22,840 --> 03:10:26,840
Yep, in the house that Babe Ruth built, Yankee Stadium, the Dodgers added one more in the night

1773
03:10:26,840 --> 03:10:29,840
Than they threatened briefly but it was too little, too late

1774
03:10:29,840 --> 03:10:33,840
Reggie Jackson supplying the offense in game six and Mike Torres going the route

1775
03:10:33,840 --> 03:10:36,840
Ironically he's the one that made the final Dodger put out

1776
03:10:36,840 --> 03:10:39,840
Torres, who's pitched the nine-hitter, stretches deals

1777
03:10:39,840 --> 03:10:45,840
But, popped up, Torres has got under the Yankees of the World Champions for the 21st time

1778
03:10:45,840 --> 03:10:48,840
And for the first time in 15 years

1779
03:10:48,840 --> 03:10:53,840
The Yankee right-hander stopping the Dodgers on nine hits, he beat them for the second time in just four days

1780
03:10:53,840 --> 03:10:59,840
Both were complete games, he gave up two unearned first inning runs at 425 foot home run to Reggie Smith

1781
03:10:59,840 --> 03:11:04,840
His third of the series and then he only gave up four hits and one run over the last five innings

1782
03:11:04,840 --> 03:11:06,840
This was Torres after the game

1783
03:11:06,840 --> 03:11:10,840
Five of this is it, we're number one, this year anyway, he wanted to show

1784
03:11:10,840 --> 03:11:14,840
And of course the Yankee victory perhaps inspired by the vote of confidence

1785
03:11:14,840 --> 03:11:17,840
Given to manager Billy Martin earlier in the day, club president Gabe Paul

1786
03:11:17,840 --> 03:11:23,840
Ending speculation that Billy Martin would be fired by saying he would be retained for the final two years of his contract

1787
03:11:23,840 --> 03:11:27,840
With a substantial bonus, forget the bonus, nothing is sweeter than a win in the World Series

1788
03:11:27,840 --> 03:11:30,840
And ironic in a way, that when the money was on the line

1789
03:11:30,840 --> 03:11:34,840
The series most valuable player would turn out to be none other than Reggie Jackson

1790
03:11:34,840 --> 03:11:36,840
Who was at the center of controversy all season long

1791
03:11:36,840 --> 03:11:40,840
First was Jackson against Thurman Munson, then Reggie Jackson against Billy Martin the manager

1792
03:11:40,840 --> 03:11:45,840
Don't forget that blow up on national television against the Boston Red Sox when the two almost came to blows

1793
03:11:45,840 --> 03:11:51,840
This is what Reggie had to say after game six, after the Yankees had won the World Series against the Dodgers

1794
03:11:51,840 --> 03:11:54,840
Eight for the final in game six, four two in games, Reggie?

1795
03:11:54,840 --> 03:11:57,840
Well, it's great for me, but I really don't count

1796
03:11:57,840 --> 03:12:03,840
I'll have a good time and you know, I'll relish in the things that will happen to me

1797
03:12:03,840 --> 03:12:09,840
But I can say I know there's a God out there and everybody will be happy and that's what's important

1798
03:12:09,840 --> 03:12:15,840
So the New York Yankees, champions of the world, they take the Dodgers eight for the final, four two in games

1799
03:12:15,840 --> 03:12:21,840
That's sports time, that's World Series time, we're out of time, I'm Jim Kelly and friends on the CBS World Series

1800
03:12:21,840 --> 03:12:22,840
Radio network

1801
03:12:22,840 --> 03:12:26,840
This was around somewhere, you know?

1802
03:12:26,840 --> 03:12:29,840
He struck out a lot, but he was a good defensive man, I'll say that

1803
03:12:29,840 --> 03:12:35,840
No, but Dad and I used to have, in the first days of television, you know, when the old Dumont television was out there

1804
03:12:35,840 --> 03:12:41,840
We used to have great problems about what game to watch, you know, on television

1805
03:12:41,840 --> 03:12:46,840
Because I wanted to watch the Yankees, he wanted to watch the Red Sox and there was the ability to see both

1806
03:12:46,840 --> 03:12:48,840
Because we could get both channels

1807
03:12:48,840 --> 03:12:54,840
And you know, Dad said Ted Williams is just the greatest guy, you know, and I said yes, yes

1808
03:12:54,840 --> 03:12:56,840
Ted Williams was great, he was right about it

1809
03:12:56,840 --> 03:13:00,840
I mean, he's unbelievable, but I mean, Joe DiMagia, you can't be him

1810
03:13:00,840 --> 03:13:02,840
There's more, I'm going to put it that way

1811
03:13:02,840 --> 03:13:08,840
So I've always been the Yankee fan all my life because, you know, I've lived here obviously

1812
03:13:08,840 --> 03:13:15,840
But somewhat, just to sort of just pick a dad a little bit, I like the Yankees

1813
03:13:15,840 --> 03:13:25,840
Well, Peter, thank you very much, and when you said Joe DiMagia, Joe followed in the tradition, of course, of Babe Ruth

1814
03:13:25,840 --> 03:13:33,840
It so happened, by the way, the Yankees had three sonner-fielders over a period of 40, 41, 2 years

1815
03:13:33,840 --> 03:13:35,840
All of whom made the Hall of Fame

1816
03:13:35,840 --> 03:13:37,840
Was that Tony?

1817
03:13:37,840 --> 03:13:40,840
It was Earl Combs, Joe DiMagia and Mickey Mantle

1818
03:13:40,840 --> 03:13:41,840
Oh, right

1819
03:13:41,840 --> 03:13:43,840
Which is a little bit of trivia, perhaps

1820
03:13:43,840 --> 03:13:44,840
No, it's not

1821
03:13:44,840 --> 03:13:52,840
Three regular center-fielders that spanned better than 40 years, all of them made the Hall of Fame

1822
03:13:52,840 --> 03:13:58,840
Well, all I have to say is that I hope that Mickey Rivers keeps on with us so that he can make it too

1823
03:13:58,840 --> 03:14:00,840
Because I think he's a super player

1824
03:14:00,840 --> 03:14:01,840
He really is

1825
03:14:01,840 --> 03:14:09,840
And Peter, I thank you, and since you mentioned tradition, the wife and the owner of the Yankees

1826
03:14:09,840 --> 03:14:16,840
That was the one thing he told me, I first met him when he was a football coach

1827
03:14:16,840 --> 03:14:18,840
And I met him out at Purdue

1828
03:14:18,840 --> 03:14:23,840
But many years later, he becomes the owner of the Yankees

1829
03:14:23,840 --> 03:14:26,840
And he had to remind me of that, which made me feel about two inches tall

1830
03:14:26,840 --> 03:14:30,840
But anyway, I wanted the Yankees to win more

1831
03:14:30,840 --> 03:14:36,840
And I'll be very honest about this for him this year, because I know what he went through

1832
03:14:36,840 --> 03:14:37,840
Oh boy, did he

1833
03:14:37,840 --> 03:14:39,840
And you do too

1834
03:14:39,840 --> 03:14:41,840
No, I couldn't agree with you more

1835
03:14:41,840 --> 03:14:45,840
I mean, what George has done with Mr. Steinbunner has done

1836
03:14:45,840 --> 03:14:50,840
He's brought to New York a team that is really New York

1837
03:14:50,840 --> 03:14:54,840
I mean, it is controversial, it is a team that has problems

1838
03:14:54,840 --> 03:14:59,840
So does New York, I mean, it's a team, however, that has stars and so too does New York

1839
03:14:59,840 --> 03:15:02,840
I mean, it is a New York scene to me

1840
03:15:02,840 --> 03:15:04,840
As a star yourself, do you understand the way

1841
03:15:04,840 --> 03:15:09,840
Well, sorry not, I mean, I think the Yankees are so exciting

1842
03:15:09,840 --> 03:15:12,840
And my children love them, my wife loves them

1843
03:15:12,840 --> 03:15:17,840
And we just come to a lot of games and we're just very excited about this

1844
03:15:17,840 --> 03:15:19,840
This night is so exciting to us

1845
03:15:19,840 --> 03:15:25,840
And to a wonderful girl, I know it is for Mrs. George Steinbunner, who she doesn't like doing the air

1846
03:15:25,840 --> 03:15:26,840
George is down there

1847
03:15:26,840 --> 03:15:27,840
But she's great on the air

1848
03:15:27,840 --> 03:15:29,840
We've worked together before

1849
03:15:29,840 --> 03:15:30,840
Oh, hasn't he?

1850
03:15:30,840 --> 03:15:31,840
In Tampa

1851
03:15:31,840 --> 03:15:32,840
I'll tell you what

1852
03:15:32,840 --> 03:15:34,840
Why don't you interview Mrs. Steinbunner

1853
03:15:34,840 --> 03:15:38,840
First of all, John and I would like to congratulate you, Mrs. Steinbunner

1854
03:15:38,840 --> 03:15:42,840
And of course I had the privilege of meeting you before in your family

1855
03:15:42,840 --> 03:15:44,840
But I know what all this meant

1856
03:15:44,840 --> 03:15:47,840
It really was exciting and we're all so happy

1857
03:15:47,840 --> 03:15:50,840
And we appreciate all the wonderful fans in New York City

1858
03:15:50,840 --> 03:15:51,840
And that's what's so great about it

1859
03:15:51,840 --> 03:15:54,840
They've all supported us, not only here but all over the country

1860
03:15:54,840 --> 03:15:58,840
Everyone wanted to see the Yankees win so many places where we would go

1861
03:15:58,840 --> 03:16:01,840
And everyone is just so happy that we could do it

1862
03:16:01,840 --> 03:16:04,840
Well, John, do you want to ask Mrs. Steinbunner or something?

1863
03:16:04,840 --> 03:16:06,840
No, I really like the analogy though

1864
03:16:06,840 --> 03:16:08,840
Because there's no line show business

1865
03:16:08,840 --> 03:16:10,840
It doesn't matter what they say as long as they spell your name right

1866
03:16:10,840 --> 03:16:14,840
And I think, although I'm sure that George Steinbunner

1867
03:16:14,840 --> 03:16:15,840
That's for years

1868
03:16:15,840 --> 03:16:16,840
For you

1869
03:16:17,840 --> 03:16:20,840
That many of the Yankees would not like all the controversy surrounding it

1870
03:16:20,840 --> 03:16:21,840
I think it's great

1871
03:16:21,840 --> 03:16:23,840
And I think it really is part of New York

1872
03:16:23,840 --> 03:16:27,840
And then winning the World Series of the Bang with the great star Reggie Jackson

1873
03:16:27,840 --> 03:16:29,840
That Mrs. Steinbunner brought in

1874
03:16:29,840 --> 03:16:31,840
Anyway, it is really some night

1875
03:16:31,840 --> 03:16:32,840
You're really excited, aren't you?

1876
03:16:32,840 --> 03:16:34,840
You better believe in Thor the Tildren

1877
03:16:34,840 --> 03:16:39,840
And don't forget, this team just absolutely creamed the Cincinnati team

1878
03:16:39,840 --> 03:16:41,840
Right, absolutely

1879
03:16:41,840 --> 03:16:42,840
They've been ahead of the Cincinnati team

1880
03:16:42,840 --> 03:16:43,840
More than 10 games, right

1881
03:16:43,840 --> 03:16:47,840
Last year, you know, we had a little unfortunate four games

1882
03:16:47,840 --> 03:16:50,840
Okay, listen, Mrs. Steinbunner doesn't want to be on the air

1883
03:16:50,840 --> 03:16:54,840
There's nothing worse, I don't believe in people going in and putting mics in people's mouths

1884
03:16:54,840 --> 03:16:55,840
We don't want to be on the air

1885
03:16:55,840 --> 03:16:56,840
I'm doing television now because she's gorgeous

1886
03:16:56,840 --> 03:16:57,840
Yeah, she is

1887
03:16:57,840 --> 03:16:59,840
She is, she is

1888
03:16:59,840 --> 03:17:01,840
The most beautiful children I've ever seen in my life

1889
03:17:01,840 --> 03:17:07,840
May I add one thing, Gay Paul blesses heart in the business of almost 50 years

1890
03:17:07,840 --> 03:17:10,840
Yes, the first World Series that this many need

1891
03:17:10,840 --> 03:17:12,840
It was with Cleveland, Cadillac Green Team

1892
03:17:12,840 --> 03:17:15,840
Cincinnati, I never won a World Series, it's the first one

1893
03:17:15,840 --> 03:17:18,840
I was happy to be with Gay when the last out was made

1894
03:17:18,840 --> 03:17:20,840
I was with Gay when the last out was made

1895
03:17:20,840 --> 03:17:23,840
And we ran over and Brayson, he just cried like a child

1896
03:17:23,840 --> 03:17:25,840
I just want to interrupt just for a moment

1897
03:17:25,840 --> 03:17:27,840
I asked Mary, which he come in

1898
03:17:27,840 --> 03:17:28,840
Mary Paul

1899
03:17:28,840 --> 03:17:29,840
Mary Paul

1900
03:17:29,840 --> 03:17:32,840
And Mrs. Steinbunner already said she would

1901
03:17:32,840 --> 03:17:35,840
But Mary says, you know, I've never done this

1902
03:17:35,840 --> 03:17:37,840
And I said, I know you haven't

1903
03:17:37,840 --> 03:17:39,840
She says, wait until Gabe gets up here

1904
03:17:39,840 --> 03:17:41,840
I said, I don't know if I can wait for Gabe or George

1905
03:17:41,840 --> 03:17:43,840
Because they're both down in the club

1906
03:17:43,840 --> 03:17:48,840
So I thank Mrs. Steinbunner, no reason Gabe or Mary aren't here

1907
03:17:48,840 --> 03:17:49,840
I want to explain that

1908
03:17:49,840 --> 03:17:51,840
One of them may get here before we get off the air

1909
03:17:51,840 --> 03:17:53,840
I thank you all very much

1910
03:17:53,840 --> 03:17:56,840
Thank you, Bill Shea and Mrs. Steinbunner, Robert Merrill

1911
03:17:56,840 --> 03:17:58,840
Thank you, Peter Duchen

1912
03:17:58,840 --> 03:17:59,840
God bless you all

1913
03:17:59,840 --> 03:18:04,840
Mel, I have to, you know, it's a kick

1914
03:18:04,840 --> 03:18:06,840
When you revere someone

1915
03:18:06,840 --> 03:18:09,840
Because you've met all the greats, you know

1916
03:18:09,840 --> 03:18:11,840
And when you revere someone and then they tell you

1917
03:18:11,840 --> 03:18:12,840
That they hear you on the air

1918
03:18:12,840 --> 03:18:14,840
And I know you feel it's a kick all your life

1919
03:18:14,840 --> 03:18:16,840
You know, I went outside with Robert Merrill

1920
03:18:16,840 --> 03:18:20,840
To tell him I do about 150 games a year

1921
03:18:20,840 --> 03:18:22,840
Hockey, basketball, my show, football

1922
03:18:22,840 --> 03:18:24,840
And my voice is just being abused

1923
03:18:24,840 --> 03:18:25,840
You know, he told me what to do

1924
03:18:25,840 --> 03:18:27,840
You know, about going to a voice teacher

1925
03:18:27,840 --> 03:18:30,840
And learning how to hit different notes and all

1926
03:18:30,840 --> 03:18:32,840
What he mentioned in the practice

1927
03:18:32,840 --> 03:18:34,840
I'm not going to tell you what he told you to do

1928
03:18:34,840 --> 03:18:37,840
It's to do re mi paso, la ti do re mi

1929
03:18:37,840 --> 03:18:39,840
You're a voice coach, right?

1930
03:18:39,840 --> 03:18:40,840
Mel, first thing about listening up

1931
03:18:40,840 --> 03:18:43,840
I have to take care of some commercials, as they say

1932
03:18:43,840 --> 03:18:44,840
Your basic commercials

1933
03:18:44,840 --> 03:18:46,840
Now, Mel's looting up some of our bosses

1934
03:18:46,840 --> 03:18:49,840
Meanwhile, we're going to

1935
03:18:49,840 --> 03:18:52,840
Have some more people come in

1936
03:18:52,840 --> 03:18:54,840
We have about 35 minutes on the air

1937
03:18:54,840 --> 03:18:57,840
And what a great night

1938
03:18:57,840 --> 03:18:59,840
We've had representative Edward Koch

1939
03:18:59,840 --> 03:19:01,840
And this is George Steinbrenner

1940
03:19:01,840 --> 03:19:03,840
Robert Merrill from the Metropolitan Opera

1941
03:19:03,840 --> 03:19:07,840
Maybe America's greatest classical singer

1942
03:19:07,840 --> 03:19:11,840
Peter Duchen

1943
03:19:11,840 --> 03:19:14,840
William Shea of Shea Stadium

1944
03:19:14,840 --> 03:19:17,840
Famous, some night, some night

1945
03:19:17,840 --> 03:19:19,840
I'm going to do a commercial for Quasar

1946
03:19:19,840 --> 03:19:21,840
May I? Thank you, sir

1947
03:19:21,840 --> 03:19:24,840
I don't do anything without Buff Browski's

1948
03:19:24,840 --> 03:19:28,840
Okay, they get taken right off the air

1949
03:19:28,840 --> 03:19:30,840

03:21:39,840 --> 03:21:41,840
Monday through Saturday, noon to 5 Sunday

2006
03:21:41,840 --> 03:21:44,840
Crazy Eddie's parameters still open Monday through Saturday only

2007
03:21:44,840 --> 03:21:47,840
Call 645-1196

2008
03:21:47,840 --> 03:21:53,840
It's 11.27 or so this WMCA

2009
03:21:53,840 --> 03:21:55,840
Strauss Communications in New York

2010
03:21:55,840 --> 03:21:59,840
If you have been locked up

2011
03:21:59,840 --> 03:22:01,840
In the cellar somewhere, I don't know what's happened

2012
03:22:01,840 --> 03:22:04,840
I'm sorry, it's been one whale of a night

2013
03:22:04,840 --> 03:22:05,840
The Yankees have won the World Series

2014
03:22:05,840 --> 03:22:08,840
They beat the Dodgers 8-4 tonight at Yankee Stadium

2015
03:22:08,840 --> 03:22:11,840
The Dodgers scored two runs in the first on a Steve Garvey triple

2016
03:22:11,840 --> 03:22:13,840
With two out and two on

2017
03:22:13,840 --> 03:22:16,840
Chris Chambliss hit a two run home run

2018
03:22:16,840 --> 03:22:18,840
The second to tie the game

2019
03:22:18,840 --> 03:22:20,840
A big home run for Chris who had not been hitting well

2020
03:22:20,840 --> 03:22:22,840
He hit it deep in the right center field

2021
03:22:22,840 --> 03:22:24,840
Bleaches off a low fastball

2022
03:22:24,840 --> 03:22:26,840
Reggie Smith at a Mike Torres fastball

2023
03:22:26,840 --> 03:22:28,840
I think in the third inning to give the Dodgers a 3-2 lead

2024
03:22:28,840 --> 03:22:30,840
In the same area

2025
03:22:30,840 --> 03:22:32,840
He hit it off Hooten too with a knuckle baller

2026
03:22:32,840 --> 03:22:34,840
And knuckle curve, excuse me

2027
03:22:34,840 --> 03:22:36,840
And then Reggie Jackson went to work

2028
03:22:36,840 --> 03:22:38,840
One of the most dramatic nights at Yankee Stadium

2029
03:22:38,840 --> 03:22:40,840
He hit three bolts

2030
03:22:40,840 --> 03:22:42,840
Two down the right field line, deep in the right field seats

2031
03:22:42,840 --> 03:22:44,840
And one, the biggest bolt of all

2032
03:22:44,840 --> 03:22:46,840
All on the first pitch

2033
03:22:46,840 --> 03:22:48,840
He hit it in the center field seats

2034
03:22:48,840 --> 03:22:50,840
Only Ken Singleton reached those center field seats

2035
03:22:50,840 --> 03:22:52,840
Since Yankee Stadium had been redesigned

2036
03:22:52,840 --> 03:22:55,840
It probably was 450 feet off a Charlie Huff knuckle ball

2037
03:22:55,840 --> 03:22:58,840
And it's the first time in World Series history

2038
03:22:58,840 --> 03:23:00,840
Anyone's hit three home runs consecutively

2039
03:23:00,840 --> 03:23:02,840
Only the third time in World Series history

2040
03:23:02,840 --> 03:23:04,840
A gentleman's hit three homers in one game

2041
03:23:04,840 --> 03:23:06,840
And Babe Ruth did it twice

2042
03:23:06,840 --> 03:23:08,840
In 26 and 28, I think in St. Louis

2043
03:23:08,840 --> 03:23:10,840
Both times against the Cardinals

2044
03:23:10,840 --> 03:23:12,840
And

2045
03:23:12,840 --> 03:23:16,840
It's about as exciting as wild as season

2046
03:23:16,840 --> 03:23:18,840
Beginning in spring training with the Yankees

2047
03:23:18,840 --> 03:23:20,840
Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman

2048
03:23:20,840 --> 03:23:22,840
And it comes out of World Series

2049
03:23:22,840 --> 03:23:24,840
The championship in the sixth game

2050
03:23:24,840 --> 03:23:26,840
And Mel Allen is here, who's a blessing

2051
03:23:26,840 --> 03:23:28,840
You know I love you, I'll tell you why

2052
03:23:28,840 --> 03:23:30,840
Because you have a right to sit back

2053
03:23:30,840 --> 03:23:32,840
And be kind of a cynical observer

2054
03:23:32,840 --> 03:23:34,840
You've done eight million World Series games

2055
03:23:34,840 --> 03:23:36,840
And you've done it all

2056
03:23:36,840 --> 03:23:38,840
You're as excited like a young kid tonight

2057
03:23:38,840 --> 03:23:40,840
Like you're out of Alabama singing your first World Series game

2058
03:23:40,840 --> 03:23:42,840
Wasn't that great?

2059
03:23:42,840 --> 03:23:44,840
It was great, but you know why

2060
03:23:44,840 --> 03:23:46,840
There's more than a partisan viewpoint

2061
03:23:46,840 --> 03:23:48,840
Or partisan reaction

2062
03:23:48,840 --> 03:23:50,840
It was a great sports story

2063
03:23:50,840 --> 03:23:52,840
And the man I'm about to bring on the air

2064
03:23:52,840 --> 03:23:54,840
Is a man who's written many great sports stories

2065
03:23:54,840 --> 03:23:56,840
And

2066
03:23:56,840 --> 03:23:58,840
I put him in the

2067
03:23:58,840 --> 03:24:00,840
Same time

2068
03:24:00,840 --> 03:24:02,840
Capsule, so to speak

2069
03:24:02,840 --> 03:24:04,840
When Russ Hodges

2070
03:24:04,840 --> 03:24:06,840
Left

2071
03:24:06,840 --> 03:24:08,840
Our broadcasting here at Yankee Stadium

2072
03:24:08,840 --> 03:24:10,840
And went to the Giants

2073
03:24:10,840 --> 03:24:12,840
As a chief announcer, the fellow that replaced him

2074
03:24:12,840 --> 03:24:14,840
Was a guy named Kurt Gowdy

2075
03:24:14,840 --> 03:24:16,840
And I'm delighted to say

2076
03:24:16,840 --> 03:24:18,840
That I had something

2077
03:24:18,840 --> 03:24:20,840
To say about it

2078
03:24:20,840 --> 03:24:22,840
Because Dan Topping

2079
03:24:22,840 --> 03:24:24,840
Made a so-rest in peace at that time

2080
03:24:24,840 --> 03:24:26,840
We were introduced to five people

2081
03:24:26,840 --> 03:24:28,840
Missing the tapes, he said

2082
03:24:28,840 --> 03:24:30,840
Take anyone up you want

2083
03:24:30,840 --> 03:24:32,840
After all you have to live with

2084
03:24:32,840 --> 03:24:34,840
And I had met Kurt

2085
03:24:34,840 --> 03:24:36,840
He was in town to do some basketball

2086
03:24:36,840 --> 03:24:38,840
Oklahoma State had

2087
03:24:38,840 --> 03:24:40,840
A Hank Iba

2088
03:24:40,840 --> 03:24:42,840
Had great basketball teams

2089
03:24:42,840 --> 03:24:44,840
And so

2090
03:24:44,840 --> 03:24:46,840
He came in and worked with us

2091
03:24:46,840 --> 03:24:48,840
Before he went to the Red Sox

2092
03:24:48,840 --> 03:24:50,840
And then became the national figure

2093
03:24:50,840 --> 03:24:52,840
He is in our business

2094
03:24:52,840 --> 03:24:54,840
And the gentleman I'm talking about

2095
03:24:54,840 --> 03:24:56,840
Standing just to my right

2096
03:24:56,840 --> 03:24:58,840
Hal Middlesworth

2097
03:24:58,840 --> 03:25:00,840
Who also came from Oklahoma City

2098
03:25:00,840 --> 03:25:02,840
And

2099
03:25:02,840 --> 03:25:04,840
Is a sports reporter

2100
03:25:04,840 --> 03:25:06,840
For the written page

2101
03:25:06,840 --> 03:25:08,840
And went to Detroit

2102
03:25:08,840 --> 03:25:10,840
And now

2103
03:25:10,840 --> 03:25:12,840
Is public relations director

2104
03:25:12,840 --> 03:25:14,840
For the Detroit Tigers

2105
03:25:14,840 --> 03:25:16,840
Now Hal, you've seen

2106
03:25:16,840 --> 03:25:18,840
So many exciting things in the world

2107
03:25:18,840 --> 03:25:20,840
Of sports as a reporter

2108
03:25:20,840 --> 03:25:22,840
And the Tigers in 1968

2109
03:25:22,840 --> 03:25:24,840
World Series

2110
03:25:24,840 --> 03:25:26,840
And we had to win

2111
03:25:26,840 --> 03:25:28,840
Very exciting

2112
03:25:28,840 --> 03:25:30,840
You can talk about that

2113
03:25:30,840 --> 03:25:32,840
Compare the two

2114
03:25:32,840 --> 03:25:34,840
Give us your viewpoint from the standpoint

2115
03:25:34,840 --> 03:25:36,840
Of a Detroit reporter

2116
03:25:36,840 --> 03:25:38,840
And a member of the Detroit Tigers

2117
03:25:38,840 --> 03:25:40,840
About this World Series

2118
03:25:40,840 --> 03:25:42,840
Well one thing I'd like to point out

2119
03:25:42,840 --> 03:25:44,840
Is what happens on the field

2120
03:25:44,840 --> 03:25:46,840
Is what counts as you and I well know

2121
03:25:46,840 --> 03:25:48,840
And the Yankees prove what a

2122
03:25:48,840 --> 03:25:50,840
Ball Club they were with their performance

2123
03:25:50,840 --> 03:25:52,840
On the field, regardless of what's happened

2124
03:25:52,840 --> 03:25:54,840
Away from the field and so forth like that

2125
03:25:54,840 --> 03:25:56,840
It's a great ball club and I'm very happy

2126
03:25:56,840 --> 03:25:58,840
To see the Yankees win

2127
03:25:58,840 --> 03:26:00,840
Because I'm an American league at heart

2128
03:26:00,840 --> 03:26:02,840
And I want to see them do well

2129
03:26:02,840 --> 03:26:04,840
I'm a friend of Billy Martins

2130
03:26:04,840 --> 03:26:06,840
And have been for a long time

2131
03:26:06,840 --> 03:26:08,840
Ever since he played for the Yankees

2132
03:26:08,840 --> 03:26:10,840
And played a little bit for the Tigers

2133
03:26:10,840 --> 03:26:12,840
And managed for the Tigers of course

2134
03:26:12,840 --> 03:26:14,840
But to get back to 1968

2135
03:26:14,840 --> 03:26:16,840
As you know the Tigers were down one game to three

2136
03:26:16,840 --> 03:26:18,840
And came back and won

2137
03:26:18,840 --> 03:26:20,840
And won three games out of that series

2138
03:26:20,840 --> 03:26:22,840
And got a bit of key blow

2139
03:26:22,840 --> 03:26:24,840
Make a little shit of home run in that series

2140
03:26:24,840 --> 03:26:26,840
Which is very unusual for us

2141
03:26:26,840 --> 03:26:28,840
But it was an exciting time

2142
03:26:28,840 --> 03:26:30,840
And it was a psychological thing

2143
03:26:30,840 --> 03:26:32,840
In Detroit which pulled the town together

2144
03:26:32,840 --> 03:26:34,840
As no other thing could have

2145
03:26:34,840 --> 03:26:36,840
In 1967 there had been

2146
03:26:36,840 --> 03:26:38,840
Rope trouble with riding and so forth like that

2147
03:26:38,840 --> 03:26:40,840
And this turned the town around

2148
03:26:40,840 --> 03:26:42,840
And it's been a better town ever since really

2149
03:26:42,840 --> 03:26:44,840
I'm glad you said that

2150
03:26:44,840 --> 03:26:46,840
I was disappointed truthfully

2151
03:26:46,840 --> 03:26:48,840
I don't like to get in the controversy

2152
03:26:48,840 --> 03:26:50,840
Deliberately

2153
03:26:50,840 --> 03:26:52,840
Sometimes you are naturally

2154
03:26:52,840 --> 03:26:54,840
Because you give your viewpoint

2155
03:26:54,840 --> 03:26:56,840
As a writer or a broadcaster

2156
03:26:56,840 --> 03:26:58,840
But the other day

2157
03:26:58,840 --> 03:27:00,840
When the Tigers

2158
03:27:00,840 --> 03:27:02,840
Dodges

2159
03:27:02,840 --> 03:27:04,840
Left here

2160
03:27:04,840 --> 03:27:06,840
After the first two games

2161
03:27:06,840 --> 03:27:08,840
Some of them criticized

2162
03:27:08,840 --> 03:27:10,840
At least I'm not criticizing the Dodgers

2163
03:27:10,840 --> 03:27:12,840
Frankly I'm criticizing

2164
03:27:12,840 --> 03:27:14,840
The media

2165
03:27:14,840 --> 03:27:16,840
Both radio TV

2166
03:27:16,840 --> 03:27:18,840
I put that

2167
03:27:18,840 --> 03:27:20,840
In one category

2168
03:27:20,840 --> 03:27:22,840
That's why I say both

2169
03:27:22,840 --> 03:27:24,840
And the press

2170
03:27:24,840 --> 03:27:26,840
Because the headlines

2171
03:27:26,840 --> 03:27:28,840
Least in New York were

2172
03:27:28,840 --> 03:27:30,840
Dodgers criticizing New York fans

2173
03:27:30,840 --> 03:27:32,840
Now the percentage

2174
03:27:32,840 --> 03:27:34,840
Just like tonight there was a slight interruption

2175
03:27:34,840 --> 03:27:36,840
As you know how

2176
03:27:36,840 --> 03:27:38,840
They're not representative

2177
03:27:38,840 --> 03:27:40,840
To any degree at all

2178
03:27:40,840 --> 03:27:42,840
Much somewhere like

2179
03:27:42,840 --> 03:27:44,840
One half of one half percent

2180
03:27:44,840 --> 03:27:46,840
Of the fans

2181
03:27:46,840 --> 03:27:48,840
I think the fans in New York

2182
03:27:48,840 --> 03:27:50,840
Like the fans in Detroit

2183
03:27:50,840 --> 03:27:52,840
I can only think of a couple of ballparks

2184
03:27:52,840 --> 03:27:54,840
Where they really are so completely

2185
03:27:54,840 --> 03:27:56,840
One sided

2186
03:27:56,840 --> 03:27:58,840
I think these are a few kooks

2187
03:27:58,840 --> 03:28:00,840
Or

2188
03:28:00,840 --> 03:28:02,840
People who just want to

2189
03:28:02,840 --> 03:28:04,840
You know be seen on television

2190
03:28:04,840 --> 03:28:06,840
And I say our businesses

2191
03:28:06,840 --> 03:28:08,840
Have fought there but they're not typical

2192
03:28:08,840 --> 03:28:10,840
Of New York they were New York fans

2193
03:28:10,840 --> 03:28:12,840
No way New York has fine fans

2194
03:28:12,840 --> 03:28:14,840
When I was covering

2195
03:28:14,840 --> 03:28:16,840
The Tigers with newspaper men

2196
03:28:16,840 --> 03:28:18,840
I like to come to New York because

2197
03:28:18,840 --> 03:28:20,840
Of the fans the fans are good fans

2198
03:28:20,840 --> 03:28:22,840
They're appreciative fans

2199
03:28:22,840 --> 03:28:24,840
Our team like to play as you remember

2200
03:28:24,840 --> 03:28:26,840
We had Frank Lerry and Jim Bunning

2201
03:28:26,840 --> 03:28:28,840
Real nemeses to the Yankees for a long time

2202
03:28:28,840 --> 03:28:30,840
And we enjoyed playing here

2203
03:28:30,840 --> 03:28:32,840
I think our players played better in New York

2204
03:28:32,840 --> 03:28:34,840
I know Al K. Line gave his best

2205
03:28:34,840 --> 03:28:36,840
Performances right in this park

2206
03:28:36,840 --> 03:28:38,840
He sure did I remember him

2207
03:28:38,840 --> 03:28:40,840
Before they republished this ballpark

2208
03:28:40,840 --> 03:28:42,840
And the little barriers out here

2209
03:28:42,840 --> 03:28:44,840
Making catches, robbing people

2210
03:28:44,840 --> 03:28:46,840
Of home runs

2211
03:28:46,840 --> 03:28:48,840
And I'm glad you mentioned him

2212
03:28:48,840 --> 03:28:50,840
Because to me he was always

2213
03:28:50,840 --> 03:28:52,840
One of my favorite

2214
03:28:52,840 --> 03:28:54,840
Ball players, I think one of the greatest

2215
03:28:54,840 --> 03:28:56,840
Ball players of all time

2216
03:28:56,840 --> 03:28:58,840
Not because he won a batting championship

2217
03:28:58,840 --> 03:29:00,840
At the age of 20 which

2218
03:29:00,840 --> 03:29:02,840
Equaled out of Ty Cobb

2219
03:29:02,840 --> 03:29:04,840
I think it was a few days difference

2220
03:29:04,840 --> 03:29:06,840
But they talk

2221
03:29:06,840 --> 03:29:08,840
About people in New York

2222
03:29:08,840 --> 03:29:10,840
That's true being a center

2223
03:29:10,840 --> 03:29:12,840
Of communications getting more

2224
03:29:12,840 --> 03:29:14,840
Publicity if they do something big

2225
03:29:14,840 --> 03:29:16,840
And I can't quarrel

2226
03:29:16,840 --> 03:29:18,840
That it is but on the other hand

2227
03:29:18,840 --> 03:29:20,840
If Al had hit a few more

2228
03:29:20,840 --> 03:29:22,840
Home runs I think he would

2229
03:29:22,840 --> 03:29:24,840
Have gotten more publicity

2230
03:29:24,840 --> 03:29:26,840
Than he did certainly more

2231
03:29:26,840 --> 03:29:28,840
In other words

2232
03:29:28,840 --> 03:29:30,840
He put it this way he didn't get as much

2233
03:29:30,840 --> 03:29:32,840
He deserved he was one of the greatest

2234
03:29:32,840 --> 03:29:34,840
Ball players I ever saw he in line drives

2235
03:29:34,840 --> 03:29:36,840
He made the greatest catches

2236
03:29:36,840 --> 03:29:38,840
I can remember

2237
03:29:38,840 --> 03:29:40,840
A throw it's funny how you remember things

2238
03:29:40,840 --> 03:29:42,840
Running toward the foul line

2239
03:29:42,840 --> 03:29:44,840
In right field he made a willy made

2240
03:29:44,840 --> 03:29:46,840
So-called I say this with

2241
03:29:46,840 --> 03:29:48,840
New York fans because they're so used

2242
03:29:48,840 --> 03:29:50,840
To the vet talk which is

2243
03:29:50,840 --> 03:29:52,840
Of course true

2244
03:29:52,840 --> 03:29:54,840
He was running toward

2245
03:29:54,840 --> 03:29:56,840
The right field foul line

2246
03:29:56,840 --> 03:29:58,840
And made a catch of a ball

2247
03:29:58,840 --> 03:30:00,840
Running at a 90 degree angle

2248
03:30:00,840 --> 03:30:02,840
The home plate and whirling through guy

2249
03:30:02,840 --> 03:30:04,840
Trying to tag up and score after the catch

2250
03:30:04,840 --> 03:30:06,840
But that was typical of Al Kingline

2251
03:30:06,840 --> 03:30:08,840
He taught runners early in his career

2252
03:30:08,840 --> 03:30:10,840
Not to try to go from first

2253
03:30:10,840 --> 03:30:12,840
To third on singles to right field

2254
03:30:12,840 --> 03:30:14,840
You know that he threw guys out

2255
03:30:14,840 --> 03:30:16,840
Repeatedly and they quit running on him

2256
03:30:16,840 --> 03:30:18,840
Right

2257
03:30:18,840 --> 03:30:20,840
You know Detroit

2258
03:30:20,840 --> 03:30:22,840
Since we were reminiscing a little bit

2259
03:30:22,840 --> 03:30:24,840
As you look back over the years

2260
03:30:24,840 --> 03:30:26,840
You had Ty Cobb who won

2261
03:30:26,840 --> 03:30:28,840
9 straight batting titles

2262
03:30:28,840 --> 03:30:30,840
Lost one I think he won 3

2263
03:30:30,840 --> 03:30:32,840
Mourner-O

2264
03:30:32,840 --> 03:30:34,840
12 all together

2265
03:30:34,840 --> 03:30:36,840
I think they have had teams

2266
03:30:36,840 --> 03:30:38,840
Tiger teams that had more people

2267
03:30:38,840 --> 03:30:40,840
Who have won batting titles

2268
03:30:40,840 --> 03:30:42,840
Remember like Harry Hyland

2269
03:30:42,840 --> 03:30:44,840
Who used to win like every other year

2270
03:30:44,840 --> 03:30:46,840
And then you had K-Line

2271
03:30:46,840 --> 03:30:48,840
But I don't know

2272
03:30:48,840 --> 03:30:50,840
Who left out anybody

2273
03:30:50,840 --> 03:30:52,840
Harvey Keane, Norm Keane

2274
03:30:52,840 --> 03:30:54,840
Oh yeah Harvey Keane you remember

2275
03:30:54,840 --> 03:30:56,840
The one batting titles but

2276
03:30:56,840 --> 03:30:58,840
There was a period in there

2277
03:30:58,840 --> 03:31:00,840
When the Yankees

2278
03:31:00,840 --> 03:31:02,840
The dynasty if they hadn't won a penant

2279
03:31:02,840 --> 03:31:04,840
If they didn't win a penant

2280
03:31:04,840 --> 03:31:06,840
The team that did was the Tigers

2281
03:31:06,840 --> 03:31:08,840
Right and the competition between

2282
03:31:08,840 --> 03:31:10,840
The two teams was great here and in Detroit

2283
03:31:10,840 --> 03:31:12,840
Great great crowds

2284
03:31:12,840 --> 03:31:14,840
Great competition it's been a great rivalry all the time

2285
03:31:14,840 --> 03:31:16,840
I remember when Red Roth

2286
03:31:16,840 --> 03:31:18,840
It was a great Yankee third baseman

2287
03:31:18,840 --> 03:31:20,840
One of the greatest of all time

2288
03:31:20,840 --> 03:31:22,840
Managed the Tigers and had a great battle

2289
03:31:22,840 --> 03:31:24,840
One year and the Tigers were finally beaten out in the end

2290
03:31:24,840 --> 03:31:26,840
And one of the reasons I don't know

2291
03:31:26,840 --> 03:31:28,840
How the Yankees got Johnny Myers

2292
03:31:28,840 --> 03:31:30,840
And let him go I think the Tigers wanted him

2293
03:31:30,840 --> 03:31:32,840
I think he would have made the difference

2294
03:31:32,840 --> 03:31:34,840
That's right that was in 1950 of course

2295
03:31:34,840 --> 03:31:36,840
And the Tigers led the race almost

2296
03:31:36,840 --> 03:31:38,840
All the way and the Yankees came in at the close

2297
03:31:38,840 --> 03:31:40,840
There was a very exciting year

2298
03:31:40,840 --> 03:31:42,840
Well Hal I sure appreciate you're coming in

2299
03:31:42,840 --> 03:31:44,840
And representing the press

2300
03:31:44,840 --> 03:31:46,840
On this and there's so much I could say

2301
03:31:46,840 --> 03:31:48,840
About the Tigers

2302
03:31:48,840 --> 03:31:50,840
Through the years I know

2303
03:31:50,840 --> 03:31:52,840
When I was a kid in Birmingham, Alabama

2304
03:31:52,840 --> 03:31:54,840
They had a working agreement with the Detroit Tigers

2305
03:31:54,840 --> 03:31:56,840
And a lot of the great Tigers

2306
03:31:56,840 --> 03:31:58,840
In the middle 30s

2307
03:31:58,840 --> 03:32:00,840
Alpine wind penance was around 35

2308
03:32:00,840 --> 03:32:02,840
Or so played the Cubs

2309
03:32:02,840 --> 03:32:04,840
I believe the Cubs

2310
03:32:04,840 --> 03:32:06,840
They don't have the Cardinals

2311
03:32:06,840 --> 03:32:08,840
Dizzy Dean

2312
03:32:08,840 --> 03:32:10,840
The Joe Medwick situation

2313
03:32:10,840 --> 03:32:12,840
When the

2314
03:32:12,840 --> 03:32:14,840
Fans got a little angry out there

2315
03:32:14,840 --> 03:32:16,840
When he slid hard

2316
03:32:16,840 --> 03:32:18,840
In the third baseman Marv

2317
03:32:18,840 --> 03:32:20,840
Marv Owen

2318
03:32:20,840 --> 03:32:22,840
A lot of people who are listening in

2319
03:32:22,840 --> 03:32:24,840
Of course weren't even born then

2320
03:32:24,840 --> 03:32:26,840
I'd only been

2321
03:32:26,840 --> 03:32:28,840
I guess I was maybe 6 or 7 years old seriously

2322
03:32:28,840 --> 03:32:30,840
A guy named Earl Whitehill

2323
03:32:30,840 --> 03:32:32,840
Got killed

2324
03:32:32,840 --> 03:32:34,840
In an old B-Laxman

2325
03:32:34,840 --> 03:32:36,840
He was a great left hand pitcher

2326
03:32:36,840 --> 03:32:38,840
He was like a Louis Tion today

2327
03:32:38,840 --> 03:32:40,840
When

2328
03:32:40,840 --> 03:32:42,840
I used to go to Rick Woodfield in Birmingham

2329
03:32:42,840 --> 03:32:44,840
He'd go in a wind up and he would actually

2330
03:32:44,840 --> 03:32:46,840
Spend his body around completely

2331
03:32:46,840 --> 03:32:48,840
And look at second baseman then pitch

2332
03:32:48,840 --> 03:32:50,840
In general Alvin Crowder

2333
03:32:50,840 --> 03:32:52,840
Those two went from Birmingham

2334
03:32:52,840 --> 03:32:54,840
To Detroit

2335
03:32:54,840 --> 03:32:56,840
So naturally we rooted for Detroit

2336
03:32:56,840 --> 03:32:58,840
As people, you know, kids run up

2337
03:32:58,840 --> 03:33:00,840
Then later they both wound up in Washington

2338
03:33:00,840 --> 03:33:02,840
And helped the Senators win

2339
03:33:02,840 --> 03:33:04,840
But there's always been a wonderful

2340
03:33:04,840 --> 03:33:06,840
Feeling about this

2341
03:33:06,840 --> 03:33:08,840
That's the wonderful thing about baseball

2342
03:33:08,840 --> 03:33:10,840
Of course you don't know where your fans are going to be

2343
03:33:10,840 --> 03:33:12,840
You have fans all over the country

2344
03:33:12,840 --> 03:33:14,840
The Yankees do have, we do have

2345
03:33:14,840 --> 03:33:16,840
That's what's the appeal of the game of course

2346
03:33:16,840 --> 03:33:18,840
Now you have Ralph Hough as your manager

2347
03:33:18,840 --> 03:33:20,840
And you know

2348
03:33:20,840 --> 03:33:22,840
I'm saying this

2349
03:33:22,840 --> 03:33:24,840
For the benefit of those who are listening

2350
03:33:24,840 --> 03:33:26,840
In who may also know it

2351
03:33:26,840 --> 03:33:28,840
The Tigers have been one of the outstanding

2352
03:33:28,840 --> 03:33:30,840
Organizations and all of baseball

2353
03:33:30,840 --> 03:33:32,840
All through the years

2354
03:33:32,840 --> 03:33:34,840
A lot of folks who

2355
03:33:34,840 --> 03:33:36,840
Live in a town don't really

2356
03:33:36,840 --> 03:33:38,840
Pay attention to what happens

2357
03:33:38,840 --> 03:33:40,840
Behind the scenes in other towns

2358
03:33:40,840 --> 03:33:42,840
But now you came in

2359
03:33:42,840 --> 03:33:44,840
From Oklahoma, I came in

2360
03:33:44,840 --> 03:33:46,840
From Alabama, I found this to be true

2361
03:33:46,840 --> 03:33:48,840
Right, I've enjoyed my life

2362
03:33:48,840 --> 03:33:50,840
And I've tried very very much

2363
03:33:50,840 --> 03:33:52,840
It's a fine organization as you say

2364
03:33:52,840 --> 03:33:54,840
Ralph Hough has done an admirable job

2365
03:33:54,840 --> 03:33:56,840
With a group of very fine young players

2366
03:33:56,840 --> 03:33:58,840
That we're hoping will mature

2367
03:33:58,840 --> 03:34:00,840
In a couple of years into a championship club

2368
03:34:00,840 --> 03:34:02,840
And I think we will

2369
03:34:02,840 --> 03:34:04,840
Well I'll tell you this

2370
03:34:04,840 --> 03:34:06,840
They always draw the fans

2371
03:34:06,840 --> 03:34:08,840
And I hope Mark Pedrich gets back

2372
03:34:08,840 --> 03:34:10,840
A good champion

2373
03:34:10,840 --> 03:34:12,840
He's been St. Petersburg

2374
03:34:12,840 --> 03:34:14,840
Now working out with our instructional

2375
03:34:14,840 --> 03:34:16,840
League team

2376
03:34:16,840 --> 03:34:18,840
And Ralph Hough is there

2377
03:34:18,840 --> 03:34:20,840
At the end of this week

2378
03:34:20,840 --> 03:34:22,840
And put him on the mound and see what he can do

2379
03:34:22,840 --> 03:34:24,840
The doctors are very optimistic

2380
03:34:24,840 --> 03:34:26,840
And we are too

2381
03:34:26,840 --> 03:34:28,840
Thanks to you, Mark

2382
03:34:28,840 --> 03:34:30,840
So it's good to see you

2383
03:34:30,840 --> 03:34:32,840
Much obliged to you

2384
03:34:32,840 --> 03:34:34,840
Hough Middlesworth Public Relations

2385
03:34:34,840 --> 03:34:36,840
Director of Detroit Tigers

2386
03:34:36,840 --> 03:34:38,840
And a top

2387
03:34:38,840 --> 03:34:40,840
Rider, a member of the baseball

2388
03:34:40,840 --> 03:34:42,840
Right Association of America

2389
03:34:42,840 --> 03:34:44,840
And we thought we'd get the viewpoint

2390
03:34:44,840 --> 03:34:46,840
And a member

2391
03:34:46,840 --> 03:34:48,840
Arrival club in the American League

2392
03:34:48,840 --> 03:34:50,840
John

2393
03:34:50,840 --> 03:34:52,840
I was going to be a little listening to both of you

2394
03:34:52,840 --> 03:34:54,840
I went back to

2395
03:34:54,840 --> 03:34:56,840
The assistant manager's office

2396
03:34:56,840 --> 03:34:58,840
Where frankly the party upstairs

2397
03:34:58,840 --> 03:35:00,840
Is going on and a select little

2398
03:35:00,840 --> 03:35:02,840
Champagne and

2399
03:35:02,840 --> 03:35:04,840
Gabe and George have not gotten upstairs yet

2400
03:35:04,840 --> 03:35:06,840
But when they do we're going to

2401
03:35:06,840 --> 03:35:08,840
Bring them in here, I'd love to congratulate them

2402
03:35:08,840 --> 03:35:10,840
You know someone said it was a

2403
03:35:10,840 --> 03:35:12,840
Bill Shea, it was a Bob Merrill

2404
03:35:12,840 --> 03:35:14,840
It's so great for Gabe Paul

2405
03:35:14,840 --> 03:35:16,840
To be one of the world champions

2406
03:35:16,840 --> 03:35:18,840
That's what the business is all about

2407
03:35:18,840 --> 03:35:20,840
Can I tell you something about

2408
03:35:20,840 --> 03:35:22,840
Gabe tell you

2409
03:35:22,840 --> 03:35:24,840
I don't mean to

2410
03:35:24,840 --> 03:35:26,840
Put it quite that way

2411
03:35:26,840 --> 03:35:28,840
You know it

2412
03:35:28,840 --> 03:35:30,840
He was a follow that

2413
03:35:30,840 --> 03:35:32,840
Came from upstate New York

2414
03:35:32,840 --> 03:35:34,840
Around Syracuse

2415
03:35:34,840 --> 03:35:36,840
He broke in as a

2416
03:35:36,840 --> 03:35:38,840
Not even a bat boy, but he shined his shoes

2417
03:35:38,840 --> 03:35:40,840
In the clubhouse

2418
03:35:40,840 --> 03:35:42,840
And from there

2419
03:35:42,840 --> 03:35:44,840
He rose until he became

2420
03:35:44,840 --> 03:35:46,840
The second man in line

2421
03:35:46,840 --> 03:35:48,840
To the president of Cincinnati Reds

2422
03:35:48,840 --> 03:35:50,840
Who later became the National League president

2423
03:35:50,840 --> 03:35:52,840
Warren Giles and he became president

2424
03:35:52,840 --> 03:35:54,840
Of the Cincinnati Reds

2425
03:35:54,840 --> 03:35:56,840
He built up a great ball club for them

2426
03:35:56,840 --> 03:35:58,840
In the 50s, he remember the year

2427
03:35:58,840 --> 03:36:00,840
And they hit over

2428
03:36:00,840 --> 03:36:02,840
221

2429
03:36:02,840 --> 03:36:04,840
The year I referred to with

2430
03:36:04,840 --> 03:36:06,840
Bertie Tevitz

2431
03:36:06,840 --> 03:36:08,840
Before they hit 221 home runs

2432
03:36:08,840 --> 03:36:10,840
And he then

2433
03:36:10,840 --> 03:36:12,840
Left

2434
03:36:12,840 --> 03:36:14,840
Go to Cleveland

2435
03:36:14,840 --> 03:36:16,840
Just before they

2436
03:36:16,840 --> 03:36:18,840
Right after they won the penalty

2437
03:36:18,840 --> 03:36:20,840
39 and 40

2438
03:36:20,840 --> 03:36:22,840
They won 2 punts and one of them

2439
03:36:22,840 --> 03:36:24,840
The Yankees beat them in 1939

2440
03:36:24,840 --> 03:36:26,840
Which was my first year, the next year

2441
03:36:26,840 --> 03:36:28,840
Strangely the man who just had on

2442
03:36:28,840 --> 03:36:30,840
Detroit

2443
03:36:30,840 --> 03:36:32,840
The Reds and Tigers played the 40 series

2444
03:36:32,840 --> 03:36:34,840
But Gabe and moving about

2445
03:36:34,840 --> 03:36:36,840
Had never

2446
03:36:36,840 --> 03:36:38,840
Gotten this far

2447
03:36:38,840 --> 03:36:40,840
And over a half century

2448
03:36:40,840 --> 03:36:42,840
A man that

2449
03:36:42,840 --> 03:36:44,840
Was on the American League

2450
03:36:44,840 --> 03:36:46,840
Executive Committee

2451
03:36:46,840 --> 03:36:48,840
A man who is a real baseball man

2452
03:36:48,840 --> 03:36:50,840
A George Weiss type

2453
03:36:50,840 --> 03:36:52,840
A

2454
03:36:52,840 --> 03:36:54,840
Branch Ricky type

2455
03:36:54,840 --> 03:36:56,840
A guy that is good for baseball

2456
03:36:56,840 --> 03:36:58,840
And put it that way, I'm so proud that he won

2457
03:36:58,840 --> 03:37:00,840
It's such luck and timing in life

2458
03:37:00,840 --> 03:37:02,840
As you know, you can pick a ball player

2459
03:37:02,840 --> 03:37:04,840
Who maybe in his first year George Zeber

2460
03:37:04,840 --> 03:37:06,840
And he's who will have a world championship

2461
03:37:06,840 --> 03:37:08,840
Ring for the rest of his life

2462
03:37:08,840 --> 03:37:10,840
No matter what happens

2463
03:37:10,840 --> 03:37:12,840
I got one

2464
03:37:12,840 --> 03:37:14,840
You have more than one

2465
03:37:14,840 --> 03:37:16,840
They only gave me one really

2466
03:37:16,840 --> 03:37:18,840
Ernie Banks played like that

2467
03:37:18,840 --> 03:37:20,840
And never even got to a penalty

2468
03:37:20,840 --> 03:37:22,840
Well, Mr. Baseball

2469
03:37:22,840 --> 03:37:24,840
We're going to have different people on

2470
03:37:24,840 --> 03:37:26,840
But right now it's time to

2471
03:37:26,840 --> 03:37:28,840
While you do that kind of run

2472
03:37:28,840 --> 03:37:30,840
Banks might be available

2473
03:37:30,840 --> 03:37:32,840
Got to try to pay your immense salary

2474
03:37:32,840 --> 03:37:34,840
In a couple minutes

2475
03:37:34,840 --> 03:37:36,840
I'm not going back to Champagne

2476
03:37:36,840 --> 03:37:38,840
Trying to see if I can get one of these

2477
03:37:38,840 --> 03:37:40,840
Sparrows, okay

2478
03:37:40,840 --> 03:37:42,840
Right now, let me talk to you about

2479
03:37:42,840 --> 03:37:44,840
Quasar, if I may

2480
03:37:44,840 --> 03:37:46,840
Another smash hit from Quasar

2481
03:37:46,840 --> 03:37:48,840
A magnificent fine furniture color

2482
03:37:48,840 --> 03:37:50,840
TV console with a big 25 inch

2483
03:37:50,840 --> 03:37:52,840
Diagonal picture

2484
03:37:52,840 --> 03:37:54,840
It's in your choice of authentic furniture styles

2485
03:37:54,840 --> 03:37:56,840
With only $575

2486
03:37:56,840 --> 03:37:58,840
Choose from early American

2487
03:37:58,840 --> 03:38:00,840
Country contemporary or rich

2488
03:38:00,840 --> 03:38:02,840
Famous Quasar 100%

2489
03:38:02,840 --> 03:38:04,840
Solid state service miser chassis

2490
03:38:04,840 --> 03:38:06,840
With super module to give you outstanding

2491
03:38:06,840 --> 03:38:07,840
Rock

2492
03:38:07,840 --> 03:38:09,840
I'm selling back at Yankee Stadium

2493
03:38:09,840 --> 03:38:11,840
Mail Allen will be buying just a moment

2494
03:38:11,840 --> 03:38:13,840
I'm not going to mention all the names

2495
03:38:13,840 --> 03:38:15,840
But again, I do want to thank the New York

2496
03:38:15,840 --> 03:38:17,840
Islanders, the New Jersey Nets

2497
03:38:17,840 --> 03:38:20,840
Manchester Broadcasting Productions

2498
03:38:20,840 --> 03:38:22,840
For

2499
03:38:22,840 --> 03:38:24,840
Combining along with

2500
03:38:24,840 --> 03:38:26,840
Our good people at WMCA

2501
03:38:26,840 --> 03:38:28,840
Dennis Israel and Mark Mason

2502
03:38:28,840 --> 03:38:30,840
For

2503
03:38:30,840 --> 03:38:32,840
Canceling the New York Islander

2504
03:38:32,840 --> 03:38:34,840
Broadcast that would have been on the network

2505
03:38:34,840 --> 03:38:36,840
So that we could all be here at Yankee

2506
03:38:36,840 --> 03:38:38,840
Stadium for what turned out to be the clincher

2507
03:38:38,840 --> 03:38:40,840
And probably the most, or not maybe the most

2508
03:38:40,840 --> 03:38:42,840
One of the most dramatic nights with

2509
03:38:42,840 --> 03:38:44,840
With Reggie Jackson coming to the fore

2510
03:38:44,840 --> 03:38:46,840
And hitting three home runs

2511
03:38:46,840 --> 03:38:48,840
Three consecutive times of bat

2512
03:38:48,840 --> 03:38:50,840
And I believe on three consecutive pitches

2513
03:38:50,840 --> 03:38:52,840
I think he hit the first pitch every time

2514
03:38:52,840 --> 03:38:54,840
And

2515
03:38:54,840 --> 03:38:56,840
I know I would have felt very badly

2516
03:38:56,840 --> 03:38:58,840
But I think he's been here

2517
03:38:58,840 --> 03:39:00,840
The Yankees did that a couple of years ago

2518
03:39:00,840 --> 03:39:02,840
They canceled one of their early season games

2519
03:39:02,840 --> 03:39:04,840
So we could bring you the Nets championship

2520
03:39:04,840 --> 03:39:06,840
Final against Denver when they

2521
03:39:06,840 --> 03:39:08,840
Erased a 22-point lead

2522
03:39:08,840 --> 03:39:10,840
I think I was excited that night

2523
03:39:10,840 --> 03:39:12,840
Mail Allen has brought in the commissioner baseball

2524
03:39:12,840 --> 03:39:14,840
I did a program though, not too long ago

2525
03:39:14,840 --> 03:39:16,840
I sat in for Barry Gray

2526
03:39:16,840 --> 03:39:18,840
I had Marty Appellon

2527
03:39:18,840 --> 03:39:20,840
Oh, yeah

2528
03:39:20,840 --> 03:39:22,840
He's along with Joe Grasiole Jr

2529
03:39:22,840 --> 03:39:24,840
And the player, agent, business

2530
03:39:24,840 --> 03:39:26,840
Hall of Famers in baseball history

2531
03:39:26,840 --> 03:39:28,840
And Marty Appell gave a great

2532
03:39:28,840 --> 03:39:30,840
Testimonial to Blueie Cune, the commissioner baseball

2533
03:39:30,840 --> 03:39:32,840
And I agree under Blueie Cune

2534
03:39:32,840 --> 03:39:34,840
Baseball is prospered

2535
03:39:34,840 --> 03:39:36,840
Like it never has before, and if I may say this

2536
03:39:36,840 --> 03:39:38,840
Mr. Cune, we've never met before

2537
03:39:38,840 --> 03:39:40,840
I'm John Sterling, it's nice to meet you

2538
03:39:40,840 --> 03:39:42,840
And do you know this was baseball's bound of year

2539
03:39:42,840 --> 03:39:44,840
In attendance, in great crowds

2540
03:39:44,840 --> 03:39:46,840
In tremendous play in the

2541
03:39:46,840 --> 03:39:48,840
In the expansion cities, Seattle, Toronto

2542
03:39:48,840 --> 03:39:50,840
People wouldn't know this, but this was baseball's greatest year

2543
03:39:50,840 --> 03:39:52,840
And what a great finish for it tonight

2544
03:39:52,840 --> 03:39:54,840
And I think he's won, but because of the drama

2545
03:39:54,840 --> 03:39:56,840
In the two biggest cities in this country

2546
03:39:56,840 --> 03:39:58,840
New York and Los Angeles, and you must be a very happy man tonight

2547
03:39:58,840 --> 03:40:00,840
I'm delighted, I agree

2548
03:40:00,840 --> 03:40:02,840
It has been a tremendous year

2549
03:40:02,840 --> 03:40:04,840
For baseball, we've seen so many things go right

2550
03:40:04,840 --> 03:40:06,840
We've had so much excitement

2551
03:40:06,840 --> 03:40:08,840
We've had, you know, we've had controversy

2552
03:40:08,840 --> 03:40:10,840
But that has all been bad

2553
03:40:10,840 --> 03:40:12,840
Some of it, I guess, the commissioner would just as soon do without

2554
03:40:12,840 --> 03:40:14,840
Because it's a sort of a problem for him

2555
03:40:14,840 --> 03:40:16,840
But the whole thing has been enormously

2556
03:40:16,840 --> 03:40:18,840
upbeat

2557
03:40:18,840 --> 03:40:20,840
We've seen attendance, such as many people never dreamed

2558
03:40:20,840 --> 03:40:22,840
In professional baseball, we've seen interest

2559
03:40:22,840 --> 03:40:24,840
At a normally high level

2560
03:40:24,840 --> 03:40:26,840
And I think we've seen a very fine, exciting series

2561
03:40:26,840 --> 03:40:28,840
That thrilled the country

2562
03:40:28,840 --> 03:40:30,840
And the whole thing has been

2563
03:40:30,840 --> 03:40:32,840
A very suitable climax to

2564
03:40:32,840 --> 03:40:34,840
The great championship year of 1977

2565
03:40:34,840 --> 03:40:36,840
You know, about a decade ago

2566
03:40:36,840 --> 03:40:38,840
People were saying, well, baseball is too slow

2567
03:40:38,840 --> 03:40:40,840
And it's an old man's game

2568
03:40:40,840 --> 03:40:42,840
And now you see so many kids at ballparks

2569
03:40:42,840 --> 03:40:44,840
And cities, I'm not talking about New York drawing

2570
03:40:44,840 --> 03:40:46,840
Or LA drawing, I'm talking about

2571
03:40:46,840 --> 03:40:48,840
Milwaukee, Seattle

2572
03:40:48,840 --> 03:40:50,840
Toronto

2573
03:40:50,840 --> 03:40:52,840
Philadelphia drawing 2.5 million

2574
03:40:52,840 --> 03:40:54,840
Cincinnati, 10 games out drawing 2.5 million

2575
03:40:54,840 --> 03:40:56,840
Chicago Cubs

2576
03:40:56,840 --> 03:40:58,840
And you see so many young people in ballparks

2577
03:40:58,840 --> 03:41:00,840
And I think the interest in baseball is in an all-time high

2578
03:41:00,840 --> 03:41:02,840
I know on my program

2579
03:41:02,840 --> 03:41:04,840
It is discussed all year long

2580
03:41:04,840 --> 03:41:06,840
You know, basketball is there

2581
03:41:06,840 --> 03:41:08,840
Hockey is there, football is there

2582
03:41:08,840 --> 03:41:10,840
But baseball is discussed all year

2583
03:41:10,840 --> 03:41:12,840
Well, in one of the great new games that's played

2584
03:41:12,840 --> 03:41:14,840
Is in the off-season, a lot of people spend time

2585
03:41:14,840 --> 03:41:16,840
Discussing what the commissioner has done wrong

2586
03:41:16,840 --> 03:41:18,840
That keeps the interest up

2587
03:41:18,840 --> 03:41:20,840
That keeps the interest up

2588
03:41:20,840 --> 03:41:22,840
But I do agree with you about the youngsters

2589
03:41:22,840 --> 03:41:24,840
In the ballpark

2590
03:41:24,840 --> 03:41:26,840
And I give a lot of credit to 26 baseball clubs

2591
03:41:26,840 --> 03:41:28,840
Who I think have had a real sense

2592
03:41:28,840 --> 03:41:30,840
That baseball had better appeal for the young people

2593
03:41:30,840 --> 03:41:32,840
And they've gone out and done their best

2594
03:41:32,840 --> 03:41:34,840
To attract young people to our game

2595
03:41:34,840 --> 03:41:36,840
In a whole bunch of ways they do in marketing

2596
03:41:36,840 --> 03:41:38,840
Including maintaining

2597
03:41:38,840 --> 03:41:40,840
Very reasonable prices

2598
03:41:40,840 --> 03:41:42,840
So that people can come to our games

2599
03:41:42,840 --> 03:41:44,840
And I think we've been successful

2600
03:41:44,840 --> 03:41:46,840
In attracting young people

2601
03:41:46,840 --> 03:41:48,840
I think the future on that account is even brighter

2602
03:41:48,840 --> 03:41:50,840
Than it is today

2603
03:41:50,840 --> 03:41:52,840
John Mann or I want to mention

2604
03:41:52,840 --> 03:41:54,840
Something about the commissioner

2605
03:41:54,840 --> 03:41:56,840
Not from the standpoint

2606
03:41:56,840 --> 03:41:58,840
Of embarrassing him

2607
03:41:58,840 --> 03:42:00,840
Two years ago I think

2608
03:42:00,840 --> 03:42:02,840
They had the first intercollegiate

2609
03:42:02,840 --> 03:42:04,840
Summer baseball

2610
03:42:06,840 --> 03:42:08,840
It opened up in

2611
03:42:08,840 --> 03:42:10,840
Bergen County, New Jersey

2612
03:42:10,840 --> 03:42:12,840
Cable television

2613
03:42:12,840 --> 03:42:14,840
Baseball commissioner's office

2614
03:42:16,840 --> 03:42:18,840
Or the baseball commissioner

2615
03:42:18,840 --> 03:42:20,840
And donated as I remember

2616
03:42:20,840 --> 03:42:22,840
$25,000

2617
03:42:22,840 --> 03:42:24,840
To this league

2618
03:42:24,840 --> 03:42:26,840
Which included

2619
03:42:28,840 --> 03:42:30,840
Bergen County

2620
03:42:30,840 --> 03:42:32,840
Included

2621
03:42:32,840 --> 03:42:34,840
Teams in New York

2622
03:42:34,840 --> 03:42:36,840
And met the pollinary all together

2623
03:42:36,840 --> 03:42:38,840
But

2624
03:42:38,840 --> 03:42:40,840
The teams were made up

2625
03:42:40,840 --> 03:42:42,840
Of college ball players

2626
03:42:42,840 --> 03:42:44,840
Who lived in a given area

2627
03:42:48,840 --> 03:42:50,840
In the development

2628
03:42:50,840 --> 03:42:52,840
Of future major leaguers

2629
03:42:54,840 --> 03:42:56,840
Your office

2630
03:42:56,840 --> 03:42:58,840
As I understand it Mr. Commissioner

2631
03:42:58,840 --> 03:43:00,840
Has

2632
03:43:00,840 --> 03:43:02,840
Given great support

2633
03:43:02,840 --> 03:43:04,840
Not only financially but

2634
03:43:04,840 --> 03:43:06,840
In other ways

2635
03:43:06,840 --> 03:43:08,840
To these leagues

2636
03:43:08,840 --> 03:43:10,840
The

2637
03:43:10,840 --> 03:43:12,840
Expansion in the major

2638
03:43:12,840 --> 03:43:14,840
You had a reduction in the minor league

2639
03:43:14,840 --> 03:43:16,840
So the players had to come from somewhere

2640
03:43:16,840 --> 03:43:18,840
Do you remember that?

2641
03:43:18,840 --> 03:43:20,840
We think these college leagues are extremely important

2642
03:43:20,840 --> 03:43:22,840
Because it gives a whole lot of

2643
03:43:22,840 --> 03:43:24,840
Very promising young players a chance

2644
03:43:24,840 --> 03:43:26,840
After college is over

2645
03:43:26,840 --> 03:43:28,840
To play during the summer

2646
03:43:28,840 --> 03:43:30,840
In very effective, good competitive leagues

2647
03:43:30,840 --> 03:43:32,840
And we think this has been helpful

2648
03:43:32,840 --> 03:43:34,840
In the development of a great deal of talent

2649
03:43:34,840 --> 03:43:36,840
We've been very happy to support those

2650
03:43:36,840 --> 03:43:38,840
And we also love baseball

2651
03:43:38,840 --> 03:43:40,840
And it's fun to do it because it does help

2652
03:43:40,840 --> 03:43:42,840
In the development of baseball

2653
03:43:42,840 --> 03:43:44,840
But these leagues have been important

2654
03:43:44,840 --> 03:43:46,840
You're absolutely right

2655
03:43:46,840 --> 03:43:48,840
I don't like to get into controversy

2656
03:43:48,840 --> 03:43:50,840
Deliberately

2657
03:43:50,840 --> 03:43:52,840
But this one time I will to this extent

2658
03:43:52,840 --> 03:43:54,840
As the

2659
03:43:54,840 --> 03:43:56,840
High Commissioner baseball

2660
03:43:58,840 --> 03:44:00,840
We had a situation here

2661
03:44:00,840 --> 03:44:02,840
In this series

2662
03:44:02,840 --> 03:44:04,840
We had a lot of controversy

2663
03:44:04,840 --> 03:44:06,840
About the club all year

2664
03:44:06,840 --> 03:44:08,840
Some of it related to your office

2665
03:44:08,840 --> 03:44:10,840
At least indirectly

2666
03:44:10,840 --> 03:44:12,840
Going back to last year

2667
03:44:12,840 --> 03:44:14,840
You understand what I mean

2668
03:44:14,840 --> 03:44:16,840
I like always

2669
03:44:16,840 --> 03:44:18,840
You as an attorney

2670
03:44:18,840 --> 03:44:20,840
I'm supposed to have practiced but never did

2671
03:44:20,840 --> 03:44:22,840
But there's always two sides to a coin

2672
03:44:22,840 --> 03:44:24,840
A lot of people read things

2673
03:44:24,840 --> 03:44:26,840
And so they think certain things

2674
03:44:26,840 --> 03:44:28,840
You had reasons for

2675
03:44:28,840 --> 03:44:30,840
The moves that you made last year

2676
03:44:30,840 --> 03:44:32,840
And negating a given deal

2677
03:44:32,840 --> 03:44:34,840
And bobbing more than one club

2678
03:44:34,840 --> 03:44:36,840
And not just the Yankees and so forth

2679
03:44:36,840 --> 03:44:38,840
But

2680
03:44:38,840 --> 03:44:40,840
I would like to just

2681
03:44:40,840 --> 03:44:42,840
Directly

2682
03:44:42,840 --> 03:44:44,840
Ask you a question

2683
03:44:44,840 --> 03:44:46,840
You have to be a fan

2684
03:44:46,840 --> 03:44:48,840
You always were before you even became commissioner

2685
03:44:48,840 --> 03:44:50,840
I had the privilege of knowing you even then

2686
03:44:50,840 --> 03:44:52,840
Wasn't it very dramatic

2687
03:44:52,840 --> 03:44:54,840
Let me put it this way

2688
03:44:56,840 --> 03:44:58,840
If you don't want to answer the question

2689
03:44:58,840 --> 03:45:00,840
I can understand it

2690
03:45:00,840 --> 03:45:02,840
With Reggie Jackson doing what he did today

2691
03:45:02,840 --> 03:45:04,840
In view of all that's been going on

2692
03:45:04,840 --> 03:45:06,840
As a fan, then you are a fan

2693
03:45:06,840 --> 03:45:08,840
You bet I am

2694
03:45:08,840 --> 03:45:10,840
You bet I am

2695
03:45:10,840 --> 03:45:12,840
Would it be rude of me

2696
03:45:12,840 --> 03:45:14,840
To ask you what you're feeling was

2697
03:45:14,840 --> 03:45:16,840
As a fan, not as a commissioner

2698
03:45:16,840 --> 03:45:18,840
I will tell you absolutely what my feeling was

2699
03:45:18,840 --> 03:45:20,840
I was absolutely thrilled

2700
03:45:20,840 --> 03:45:22,840
To see him hit that third home run

2701
03:45:22,840 --> 03:45:24,840
To me that was a fantastic world series

2702
03:45:24,840 --> 03:45:26,840
Accomplishment

2703
03:45:26,840 --> 03:45:28,840
To see him under the pressure he has been

2704
03:45:28,840 --> 03:45:30,840
At the core of some of the

2705
03:45:30,840 --> 03:45:32,840
Controversies we've had in the game

2706
03:45:32,840 --> 03:45:34,840
So you know there's a lot of pressure on him

2707
03:45:34,840 --> 03:45:36,840
He didn't play the last game

2708
03:45:36,840 --> 03:45:38,840
Of the league championship series

2709
03:45:38,840 --> 03:45:40,840
Which had to put pressure on him

2710
03:45:40,840 --> 03:45:42,840
And I think for him to step up there today

2711
03:45:42,840 --> 03:45:44,840
And hit three home runs the way he did

2712
03:45:44,840 --> 03:45:46,840
And the last one, I think it's still going out there

2713
03:45:46,840 --> 03:45:48,840
To me

2714
03:45:48,840 --> 03:45:50,840
It showed what a champion

2715
03:45:50,840 --> 03:45:52,840
Reggie is and what he can do

2716
03:45:52,840 --> 03:45:54,840
When the pressure is there

2717
03:45:54,840 --> 03:45:56,840
Thank you very much

2718
03:45:56,840 --> 03:45:58,840
I just want to tell you this

2719
03:45:58,840 --> 03:46:00,840
On that show

2720
03:46:00,840 --> 03:46:02,840
That's what I cited about

2721
03:46:02,840 --> 03:46:04,840
Because the times I've heard you say

2722
03:46:04,840 --> 03:46:06,840
When you've appeared on TV

2723
03:46:06,840 --> 03:46:08,840
You know all the players and what they're doing

2724
03:46:08,840 --> 03:46:10,840
Good and bad and the scouting reports

2725
03:46:10,840 --> 03:46:12,840
Because you are a fan, so am I

2726
03:46:12,840 --> 03:46:14,840
And I think that's great

2727
03:46:14,840 --> 03:46:16,840
It's our business too

2728
03:46:16,840 --> 03:46:18,840
But I think baseball is at this family's

2729
03:46:18,840 --> 03:46:20,840
I'm so happy for baseball

2730
03:46:20,840 --> 03:46:22,840
I could watch a baseball game every day

2731
03:46:22,840 --> 03:46:24,840
And never tire of it

2732
03:46:24,840 --> 03:46:26,840
And it's a great year, congratulations

2733
03:46:26,840 --> 03:46:28,840
There never will be a surcease of controversy

2734
03:46:28,840 --> 03:46:30,840
Baseball is too big for that

2735
03:46:30,840 --> 03:46:32,840
No, John, that's correct

2736
03:46:32,840 --> 03:46:34,840
Baseball is, we first had a professional ball

2737
03:46:34,840 --> 03:46:36,840
In 1869 in this country

2738
03:46:36,840 --> 03:46:38,840
And we first had organized leagues

2739
03:46:38,840 --> 03:46:40,840
Even before that, amateur leagues

2740
03:46:40,840 --> 03:46:42,840
Baseball has always been a game of controversy

2741
03:46:42,840 --> 03:46:44,840
And never a game really afraid of controversy

2742
03:46:44,840 --> 03:46:46,840
And I think it has been a part of

2743
03:46:46,840 --> 03:46:48,840
The strength of the game

2744
03:46:48,840 --> 03:46:50,840
That what goes on in it is quite open

2745
03:46:50,840 --> 03:46:52,840
You find very little quieted down

2746
03:46:52,840 --> 03:46:54,840
Oh yes, maybe a little here and there

2747
03:46:54,840 --> 03:46:56,840
But basically the story of baseball is told

2748
03:46:56,840 --> 03:46:58,840
And told very thoroughly, we play every day

2749
03:46:58,840 --> 03:47:00,840
The media covers us very thoroughly

2750
03:47:00,840 --> 03:47:02,840
We don't have any secrets in this business

2751
03:47:02,840 --> 03:47:04,840
And I think if we could keep them

2752
03:47:04,840 --> 03:47:06,840
We probably wouldn't, and the effect has been

2753
03:47:06,840 --> 03:47:08,840
To make us real and believable

2754
03:47:08,840 --> 03:47:10,840
And I think quite honest

2755
03:47:10,840 --> 03:47:12,840
You know what I'd like to say here

2756
03:47:12,840 --> 03:47:14,840
I've had the privilege of being out here

2757
03:47:14,840 --> 03:47:16,840
Number of times, you know, in the course of the year

2758
03:47:16,840 --> 03:47:18,840
Here's the commissioner of baseball

2759
03:47:18,840 --> 03:47:20,840
He makes a decision

2760
03:47:20,840 --> 03:47:22,840
Against the Yankees

2761
03:47:22,840 --> 03:47:24,840
He did it for baseball, not

2762
03:47:24,840 --> 03:47:26,840
Against a ball club

2763
03:47:26,840 --> 03:47:28,840
But he is sitting with the owner

2764
03:47:28,840 --> 03:47:30,840
Of the Yankees, they are friends

2765
03:47:30,840 --> 03:47:32,840
They may disagree with one another

2766
03:47:32,840 --> 03:47:34,840
But you see, this is what makes baseball

2767
03:47:34,840 --> 03:47:36,840
Still in the national pastime

2768
03:47:36,840 --> 03:47:38,840
I don't know if it sounds old corny

2769
03:47:38,840 --> 03:47:40,840
But it still is

2770
03:47:40,840 --> 03:47:42,840
You can disagree with one another

2771
03:47:42,840 --> 03:47:44,840
And you can argue with one another

2772
03:47:44,840 --> 03:47:46,840
But in the final analysis, you are a member

2773
03:47:46,840 --> 03:47:48,840
Of a fraternity

2774
03:47:48,840 --> 03:47:50,840
An institution

2775
03:47:50,840 --> 03:47:52,840
Not just a race, an institution

2776
03:47:52,840 --> 03:47:54,840
It's a part of our country

2777
03:47:54,840 --> 03:47:56,840
You're right, I think it's fair to say

2778
03:47:56,840 --> 03:47:58,840
That George Timberlain and I have had some

2779
03:47:58,840 --> 03:48:00,840
Monumental disagreements

2780
03:48:00,840 --> 03:48:02,840
And that probably, even that puts it mildly

2781
03:48:02,840 --> 03:48:04,840
I suspect, but I don't think we have ever

2782
03:48:04,840 --> 03:48:06,840
Been enemies of one another

2783
03:48:06,840 --> 03:48:08,840
And while we may have disagreed

2784
03:48:08,840 --> 03:48:10,840
I think we both respected the other guy's position

2785
03:48:10,840 --> 03:48:12,840
And I would say that today about what George

2786
03:48:12,840 --> 03:48:14,840
Has done to try to build this team

2787
03:48:14,840 --> 03:48:16,840
And I'm sure he would say that about

2788
03:48:16,840 --> 03:48:18,840
Functions, he doesn't have to agree

2789
03:48:18,840 --> 03:48:20,840
But he knows that I'm doing the best I can

2790
03:48:20,840 --> 03:48:22,840
And then I work hard at the job

2791
03:48:22,840 --> 03:48:24,840
Which is something you better ask of people

2792
03:48:24,840 --> 03:48:26,840
You really do, I'll say that

2793
03:48:26,840 --> 03:48:28,840
And you've been a great commissioner

2794
03:48:28,840 --> 03:48:30,840
I hope you still will be

2795
03:48:30,840 --> 03:48:32,840
For as long as you want to be

2796
03:48:32,840 --> 03:48:34,840
That was Buick Hewitt

2797
03:48:34,840 --> 03:48:36,840
I want to talk to a friend of mine

2798
03:48:36,840 --> 03:48:38,840
When he was playing shortstop

2799
03:48:38,840 --> 03:48:40,840
Now, he's

2800
03:48:40,840 --> 03:48:42,840
Administrative assistant

2801
03:48:42,840 --> 03:48:44,840
I don't know if that's a title

2802
03:48:44,840 --> 03:48:46,840
This is the stick, I call him just stick

2803
03:48:46,840 --> 03:48:48,840
This is Gene Michael, a fine shortstop

2804
03:48:48,840 --> 03:48:50,840
With the Yanks and their problem years

2805
03:48:50,840 --> 03:48:52,840
And now an administrative assistant

2806
03:48:52,840 --> 03:48:54,840
Very close to George Steinbredder

2807
03:48:54,840 --> 03:48:56,840
In the decisions and the running of the ball club

2808
03:48:56,840 --> 03:48:58,840
In fact, Gene of course is

2809
03:48:58,840 --> 03:49:00,840
A gentleman who had the walkie-talkie

2810
03:49:00,840 --> 03:49:02,840
He was abused several times

2811
03:49:02,840 --> 03:49:04,840
And several times, Gene, are you

2812
03:49:04,840 --> 03:49:06,840
Did you get as much of a kick

2813
03:49:06,840 --> 03:49:08,840
As much of a thrill out of this World Series

2814
03:49:08,840 --> 03:49:10,840
As you always thought you might if you'd be

2815
03:49:10,840 --> 03:49:12,840
In a championship situation

2816
03:49:12,840 --> 03:49:14,840
I don't think you can ever get the same thrill

2817
03:49:14,840 --> 03:49:16,840
Out of it as you would if you were a player

2818
03:49:16,840 --> 03:49:18,840
But this is probably the next best thing

2819
03:49:18,840 --> 03:49:20,840
I know that there are players that

2820
03:49:20,840 --> 03:49:22,840
Didn't play that much this year

2821
03:49:22,840 --> 03:49:24,840
That are really thrilled about it

2822
03:49:24,840 --> 03:49:26,840
And I know that I would have been thrilled

2823
03:49:26,840 --> 03:49:28,840
If I was a player just sitting on the bench

2824
03:49:28,840 --> 03:49:30,840
If I was playing regularly

2825
03:49:30,840 --> 03:49:32,840
That would be even a greater thrill

2826
03:49:32,840 --> 03:49:34,840
But this is a close affiliation

2827
03:49:34,840 --> 03:49:36,840
Or whatever you want to call it

2828
03:49:36,840 --> 03:49:38,840
And I'm just glad to play a small part in it

2829
03:49:38,840 --> 03:49:40,840
Alright, Gene, I don't know if it's a small part

2830
03:49:40,840 --> 03:49:42,840
I do know this

2831
03:49:42,840 --> 03:49:44,840
I wanted so much for you to be back with the Yankees

2832
03:49:44,840 --> 03:49:46,840
You were released last year, I believe, by the Red Sox

2833
03:49:46,840 --> 03:49:48,840
You came back with the Yanks

2834
03:49:48,840 --> 03:49:50,840
First as a coach now as administrative assistant

2835
03:49:50,840 --> 03:49:52,840
And baseball's in your blood

2836
03:49:52,840 --> 03:49:54,840
It's been there for a long, long time

2837
03:49:54,840 --> 03:49:56,840
You've played other sports in school

2838
03:49:56,840 --> 03:49:58,840
And there are a lot of people

2839
03:49:58,840 --> 03:50:00,840
And we talked about this before

2840
03:50:00,840 --> 03:50:02,840
We mentioned Ernie Banks' name

2841
03:50:02,840 --> 03:50:04,840
He's the most prominent name

2842
03:50:04,840 --> 03:50:06,840
There are probably a thousand guys who never get into the World Series

2843
03:50:06,840 --> 03:50:08,840
Now you know the kind of show that I have

2844
03:50:08,840 --> 03:50:10,840
The name of one kind or another

2845
03:50:10,840 --> 03:50:12,840
And the people who have been

2846
03:50:12,840 --> 03:50:14,840
Living with the reports on radio, TV

2847
03:50:14,840 --> 03:50:16,840
Newspapers, magazines

2848
03:50:16,840 --> 03:50:18,840
The daily trials and tribulations

2849
03:50:18,840 --> 03:50:20,840
Of the Yanks

2850
03:50:20,840 --> 03:50:22,840
I don't know what I want to ask about

2851
03:50:22,840 --> 03:50:24,840
I guess I want to ask you all about it

2852
03:50:24,840 --> 03:50:26,840
Is it surprising that a ball cup could rise

2853
03:50:26,840 --> 03:50:28,840
Above all the jive and the nonsense

2854
03:50:28,840 --> 03:50:30,840
And the Winner World's championship

2855
03:50:30,840 --> 03:50:32,840
And isn't it a little bit dramatic

2856
03:50:32,840 --> 03:50:34,840
The way they did it tonight with the three homeruns

2857
03:50:34,840 --> 03:50:36,840
In the row by Reggie Jackson

2858
03:50:36,840 --> 03:50:38,840
And the home by Chris Chambliss

2859
03:50:38,840 --> 03:50:40,840
To get him even in a ball game

2860
03:50:40,840 --> 03:50:42,840
Where if they lose, now they go to a seventh game

2861
03:50:42,840 --> 03:50:44,840
And you don't know who's going to win a seventh game

2862
03:50:44,840 --> 03:50:46,840
This is all kind of amazing that this year

2863
03:50:46,840 --> 03:50:48,840
Is coming past in the Yanks of Champions

2864
03:50:48,840 --> 03:50:50,840
Yes it is

2865
03:50:50,840 --> 03:50:52,840
It's a thrill for every single player

2866
03:50:52,840 --> 03:50:54,840
I know that

2867
03:50:54,840 --> 03:50:56,840
You're talking about Chris Chambliss' home run

2868
03:50:56,840 --> 03:50:58,840
I know that was a big thrill for him

2869
03:50:58,840 --> 03:51:00,840
Because last year he hit the big one

2870
03:51:00,840 --> 03:51:02,840
He's had trouble his last couple months

2871
03:51:02,840 --> 03:51:04,840
And he hasn't hit the big home run

2872
03:51:04,840 --> 03:51:06,840
In the ball game because when you're two nothing down

2873
03:51:06,840 --> 03:51:08,840
Or something and you think you may never catch up

2874
03:51:08,840 --> 03:51:10,840
And when you do, it's a big thrill

2875
03:51:10,840 --> 03:51:12,840
And I know he put us back in the ball game

2876
03:51:12,840 --> 03:51:14,840
Reggie, he has that fire

2877
03:51:14,840 --> 03:51:16,840
Reggie can do those things

2878
03:51:16,840 --> 03:51:18,840
Gene was just like the other day

2879
03:51:18,840 --> 03:51:20,840
When we were talking about this before

2880
03:51:20,840 --> 03:51:22,840
The first error we made in the series

2881
03:51:22,840 --> 03:51:24,840
Was to spin out over and the base hit

2882
03:51:24,840 --> 03:51:26,840
And

2883
03:51:26,840 --> 03:51:28,840
Was it Baker? He reached second

2884
03:51:28,840 --> 03:51:30,840
The next ball goes to Nettles

2885
03:51:30,840 --> 03:51:32,840
Normally double play

2886
03:51:32,840 --> 03:51:34,840
You know, takes his eyes

2887
03:51:34,840 --> 03:51:36,840
For a moment you play

2888
03:51:36,840 --> 03:51:38,840
Sometimes you take your eyes and see where a runner is

2889
03:51:38,840 --> 03:51:40,840
Normally, in a double play, you're still in the ball game

2890
03:51:40,840 --> 03:51:42,840
People say a 10-4 ball game

2891
03:51:42,840 --> 03:51:44,840
I could have made a difference

2892
03:51:44,840 --> 03:51:46,840
But that time, he's still in the ball game

2893
03:51:46,840 --> 03:51:48,840
That's right, it looks like a double play

2894
03:51:48,840 --> 03:51:50,840
But I saw what that ball did

2895
03:51:50,840 --> 03:51:52,840
That ball really came up and it wasn't an easy play at all

2896
03:51:52,840 --> 03:51:54,840
It was a tough play and that's the play you get Arizona

2897
03:51:54,840 --> 03:51:56,840
The ball comes up quite a bit

2898
03:51:56,840 --> 03:51:58,840
If it comes up and bounces over his head, it's the base hit

2899
03:51:58,840 --> 03:52:00,840
But when it comes up and hits you in the middle of the arm

2900
03:52:00,840 --> 03:52:02,840
You either take the night in the first inning

2901
03:52:02,840 --> 03:52:04,840
Two outs, dent backs up on the ball

2902
03:52:04,840 --> 03:52:06,840
You know, you can either charge it

2903
03:52:06,840 --> 03:52:08,840
You could have booted it and you go back

2904
03:52:08,840 --> 03:52:10,840
So they get a man on, boom, homer

2905
03:52:10,840 --> 03:52:12,840
But then we get one back

2906
03:52:12,840 --> 03:52:14,840
The same way with shortstop left-failer

2907
03:52:14,840 --> 03:52:16,840
Calling each other off the ball

2908
03:52:16,840 --> 03:52:18,840
One thing I did want to ask you

2909
03:52:18,840 --> 03:52:20,840
John mentioned the walkie-talkie situation

2910
03:52:20,840 --> 03:52:22,840
After Reggie

2911
03:52:22,840 --> 03:52:24,840
Either hit his second or third home run

2912
03:52:24,840 --> 03:52:26,840
I was running back and forth

2913
03:52:26,840 --> 03:52:28,840
And I was running back and forth

2914
03:52:28,840 --> 03:52:30,840
And Mr. Steinbrenner's box

2915
03:52:30,840 --> 03:52:32,840
Back to the TV just taking a look

2916
03:52:32,840 --> 03:52:34,840
They had a close-up of Reggie on the telephone

2917
03:52:34,840 --> 03:52:36,840
So obviously that had to be

2918
03:52:36,840 --> 03:52:38,840
With somebody upstairs

2919
03:52:38,840 --> 03:52:40,840
I don't know who else

2920
03:52:40,840 --> 03:52:42,840
In the middle of a ballgame

2921
03:52:42,840 --> 03:52:44,840
He could have been talking to

2922
03:52:44,840 --> 03:52:46,840
Could it have been a change of pitchers

2923
03:52:46,840 --> 03:52:48,840
Maybe it's after the second homer

2924
03:52:48,840 --> 03:52:50,840
And he was coming up shortly

2925
03:52:50,840 --> 03:52:52,840
About what this picture through is

2926
03:52:52,840 --> 03:52:54,840
Before Gene replied

2927
03:52:54,840 --> 03:52:56,840
Let me just break the station

2928
03:52:56,840 --> 03:52:58,840
Because his midnight WMCA

2929
03:52:58,840 --> 03:53:00,840
Strauss communications in New York

2930
03:53:00,840 --> 03:53:02,840
And we are going to continue this for about

2931
03:53:02,840 --> 03:53:04,840
Half an hour, you know, I caught that

2932
03:53:04,840 --> 03:53:06,840
I was standing next to Bob Fishel

2933
03:53:06,840 --> 03:53:08,840
And Mickey Morabito

2934
03:53:08,840 --> 03:53:10,840
And they did have a monitor

2935
03:53:10,840 --> 03:53:12,840
And I thought I saw Jackson

2936
03:53:12,840 --> 03:53:14,840
Saying that in the monitor

2937
03:53:14,840 --> 03:53:16,840
I thought that he said low fastball

2938
03:53:16,840 --> 03:53:18,840
Meaning maybe the pinchy hit

2939
03:53:18,840 --> 03:53:20,840
Or maybe where

2940
03:53:20,840 --> 03:53:22,840
Where Houten was throwing a sosa

2941
03:53:22,840 --> 03:53:24,840
I think it was sosa

2942
03:53:24,840 --> 03:53:26,840
Because it was throwing the ball

2943
03:53:26,840 --> 03:53:28,840
There by the way were some unusual pitches

2944
03:53:28,840 --> 03:53:30,840
Throne in this game

2945
03:53:30,840 --> 03:53:32,840
Because Reggie Smith had a fastball

2946
03:53:32,840 --> 03:53:34,840
And I didn't think

2947
03:53:34,840 --> 03:53:36,840
I had no one ever told me a scouting report

2948
03:53:36,840 --> 03:53:38,840
But I saw Smith playing the National League

2949
03:53:38,840 --> 03:53:40,840
And the Mets would play him

2950
03:53:40,840 --> 03:53:42,840
And I saw Mets pitch him with slow breaking stuff

2951
03:53:42,840 --> 03:53:44,840
Whatever

2952
03:53:44,840 --> 03:53:46,840
And I was surprised that Jackson got a couple of fastballs

2953
03:53:46,840 --> 03:53:48,840
To hit over the plate

2954
03:53:48,840 --> 03:53:50,840
I think the second one

2955
03:53:50,840 --> 03:53:52,840
I think sosa tried to get it on his hands

2956
03:53:52,840 --> 03:53:54,840
And I was like, who is Reggie talking to

2957
03:53:54,840 --> 03:53:56,840
And why

2958
03:53:56,840 --> 03:53:58,840
If that was your question

2959
03:53:58,840 --> 03:54:00,840
That was the question he probably was calling

2960
03:54:00,840 --> 03:54:02,840
You know, answering some fan of his

2961
03:54:02,840 --> 03:54:04,840
I think he's talking to Gene really

2962
03:54:04,840 --> 03:54:06,840
He called up and wanted to know a scouting report

2963
03:54:06,840 --> 03:54:08,840
And I didn't follow these ballcups

2964
03:54:08,840 --> 03:54:10,840
Clyde King, Jerry Walker and Bernie Tevison

2965
03:54:10,840 --> 03:54:12,840
About name and death

2966
03:54:12,840 --> 03:54:14,840
By the way, we had Bernie and Clyde on before

2967
03:54:14,840 --> 03:54:16,840
In the game

2968
03:54:16,840 --> 03:54:18,840
He called up to find out what sosa threw

2969
03:54:18,840 --> 03:54:20,840
And I had seen him in the spring

2970
03:54:20,840 --> 03:54:22,840
And they had followed him

2971
03:54:22,840 --> 03:54:24,840
And they knew he was a slider's fastball pitcher

2972
03:54:24,840 --> 03:54:26,840
And Reggie wanted to know about that

2973
03:54:26,840 --> 03:54:28,840
He was pretty much a two-pitch pitcher

2974
03:54:28,840 --> 03:54:30,840
And I think he had a fastball

2975
03:54:30,840 --> 03:54:32,840
That was a little bit in

2976
03:54:32,840 --> 03:54:34,840
Sosa has a good arm

2977
03:54:34,840 --> 03:54:36,840
He asked him about his move

2978
03:54:36,840 --> 03:54:38,840
And we said he had a fair move in first base

2979
03:54:38,840 --> 03:54:40,840
Pretty good move

2980
03:54:40,840 --> 03:54:42,840
And he wanted to know about him

2981
03:54:42,840 --> 03:54:44,840
It was good that he called up

2982
03:54:44,840 --> 03:54:46,840
He could ask other players

2983
03:54:46,840 --> 03:54:48,840
And I'm sure he was asking around

2984
03:54:48,840 --> 03:54:50,840
I think that means he was really trying to think

2985
03:54:50,840 --> 03:54:52,840
Gene, I do want to ask you this question

2986
03:54:52,840 --> 03:54:54,840
Tell me about the decision

2987
03:54:54,840 --> 03:54:56,840
Middle part

2988
03:54:56,840 --> 03:54:58,840
End of the year for you to go up

2989
03:54:58,840 --> 03:55:00,840
With a walkie-talkie to talk about

2990
03:55:00,840 --> 03:55:02,840
Defenses. I saw it really happen once

2991
03:55:02,840 --> 03:55:04,840
Where the Yankees positioned

2992
03:55:04,840 --> 03:55:06,840
Jackson or Blair

2993
03:55:06,840 --> 03:55:08,840
Was in the right field closer to the line

2994
03:55:08,840 --> 03:55:10,840
They kept moving the line

2995
03:55:10,840 --> 03:55:12,840
And I honestly don't know who it was

2996
03:55:12,840 --> 03:55:14,840
Now it was Solongo, Maven, Cowins

2997
03:55:14,840 --> 03:55:16,840
Hit the ball to the right field line

2998
03:55:16,840 --> 03:55:18,840
Blair made an easy catch of it

2999
03:55:18,840 --> 03:55:20,840
What do you try to impart

3000
03:55:20,840 --> 03:55:22,840
When the game is going on

3001
03:55:22,840 --> 03:55:24,840
To either Yogi or Alston

3002
03:55:24,840 --> 03:55:26,840
Who has the other end of your walkie-talkie

3003
03:55:26,840 --> 03:55:28,840
What we do is we go over the scouting reports

3004
03:55:28,840 --> 03:55:30,840
And then I have charts

3005
03:55:30,840 --> 03:55:32,840
I'll explain it during the season

3006
03:55:32,840 --> 03:55:34,840
First of all, because I have different charts

3007
03:55:34,840 --> 03:55:36,840
For different hitters

3008
03:55:36,840 --> 03:55:38,840
Against different pitching

3009
03:55:38,840 --> 03:55:40,840
And I have all these things that I look at

3010
03:55:40,840 --> 03:55:42,840
And consider and then I consider our pitcher

3011
03:55:42,840 --> 03:55:44,840
And I make up the charts, I go down

3012
03:55:44,840 --> 03:55:46,840
And he's going to try to pitch them

3013
03:55:46,840 --> 03:55:48,840
If you're going to pitch them a certain way

3014
03:55:48,840 --> 03:55:50,840
Then I'll make another adjustment right in front of them

3015
03:55:50,840 --> 03:55:52,840
Right where we know

3016
03:55:52,840 --> 03:55:54,840
That they're going to have a tendency to hit the ball

3017
03:55:54,840 --> 03:55:56,840
You never know, like you said

3018
03:55:56,840 --> 03:55:58,840
Moving to the right and all of a sudden

3019
03:55:58,840 --> 03:56:00,840
The ball is hit there, well you're just hoping

3020
03:56:00,840 --> 03:56:02,840
That the ball is hit there, well you feel that

3021
03:56:02,840 --> 03:56:04,840
Maybe he's going to hit the ball towards the right field

3022
03:56:04,840 --> 03:56:06,840
So you don't want to give him the right field line

3023
03:56:06,840 --> 03:56:08,840
There's a lot of guessing involved

3024
03:56:08,840 --> 03:56:10,840
And there's a lot of luck involved too

3025
03:56:10,840 --> 03:56:12,840
But what you do is try to play the best possible percentage

3026
03:56:12,840 --> 03:56:14,840
Is this question?

3027
03:56:14,840 --> 03:56:16,840
As a shortstop, when you're playing

3028
03:56:16,840 --> 03:56:18,840
You adjust the quality of the count

3029
03:56:18,840 --> 03:56:20,840
Don't you?

3030
03:56:20,840 --> 03:56:22,840
The things that you know, therefore

3031
03:56:22,840 --> 03:56:24,840
Sitting upstairs, don't you

3032
03:56:24,840 --> 03:56:26,840
In part some of the information

3033
03:56:26,840 --> 03:56:28,840
Based on your judgment

3034
03:56:28,840 --> 03:56:30,840
As a player

3035
03:56:30,840 --> 03:56:32,840
How you would

3036
03:56:32,840 --> 03:56:34,840
Either move closer to second or further away

3037
03:56:34,840 --> 03:56:36,840
Whether, depending on the count

3038
03:56:36,840 --> 03:56:38,840
You really do, but it's hard for us

3039
03:56:38,840 --> 03:56:40,840
To know the pitch that's coming to the plate

3040
03:56:40,840 --> 03:56:42,840
The infielders really have that advantage

3041
03:56:42,840 --> 03:56:44,840
So we can't really tell what pitch is going to go to the plate

3042
03:56:44,840 --> 03:56:46,840
So we don't really move or fool around with the infielders

3043
03:56:46,840 --> 03:56:48,840
As much as they're good thinkers

3044
03:56:48,840 --> 03:56:50,840
Or they win the infielders, you don't want to be

3045
03:56:50,840 --> 03:56:52,840
Right, right, right

3046
03:56:52,840 --> 03:56:54,840
But the outfielders don't have the advantage

3047
03:56:54,840 --> 03:56:56,840
Of knowing the pitch that's going to the plate

3048
03:56:56,840 --> 03:56:58,840
So what we're doing is we're just putting them where

3049
03:56:58,840 --> 03:57:00,840
We think they'll hit the ball, have the best chance

3050
03:57:00,840 --> 03:57:02,840
Of hitting the ball, in other words you feel that

3051
03:57:02,840 --> 03:57:04,840
A player doesn't hit the ball down the line

3052
03:57:04,840 --> 03:57:06,840
So you give them both lines, you move off the lines

3053
03:57:06,840 --> 03:57:08,840
Maybe a little bit and try to cut up the alleys

3054
03:57:08,840 --> 03:57:10,840
And that's all you're trying to do

3055
03:57:10,840 --> 03:57:12,840
You can't tell where the ball is going to be

3056
03:57:12,840 --> 03:57:14,840
You try to tell what you really

3057
03:57:14,840 --> 03:57:16,840
You try to get an advantage

3058
03:57:16,840 --> 03:57:18,840
Where the areas that they're going to

3059
03:57:18,840 --> 03:57:20,840
Cut down the field on them, so to speak

3060
03:57:20,840 --> 03:57:22,840
You know, George or Mr. Steinbrenner

3061
03:57:22,840 --> 03:57:24,840
Having been a football coach

3062
03:57:24,840 --> 03:57:26,840
And this was his idea

3063
03:57:26,840 --> 03:57:28,840
I didn't think too much of it when I put it started

3064
03:57:28,840 --> 03:57:32,840
But then as I saw other teams playing our hitters wrong

3065
03:57:32,840 --> 03:57:34,840
Then I knew that we were on the right track

3066
03:57:34,840 --> 03:57:36,840
Because when I would see these other hitters

3067
03:57:36,840 --> 03:57:38,840
And I would know that

3068
03:57:38,840 --> 03:57:40,840
Gee, we got to be making some mistakes too

3069
03:57:40,840 --> 03:57:42,840
So let's get as involved as we can

3070
03:57:42,840 --> 03:57:44,840
I just want to add Mel

3071
03:57:44,840 --> 03:57:46,840
We're going to continue this for maybe another 25 minutes

3072
03:57:46,840 --> 03:57:48,840
So we will join the Long John Neville

3073
03:57:48,840 --> 03:57:50,840
Candy Jones program in progress

3074
03:57:50,840 --> 03:57:52,840
We thank them for relinquishing some of their time

3075
03:57:52,840 --> 03:57:54,840
But you know, can I just

3076
03:57:54,840 --> 03:57:56,840
Inject this one thing?

3077
03:57:56,840 --> 03:57:58,840
Yes

3078
03:57:58,840 --> 03:58:00,840
Years of doing football

3079
03:58:00,840 --> 03:58:02,840
And George Steinbrenner having been a football coach

3080
03:58:02,840 --> 03:58:04,840
They always have at least two men

3081
03:58:04,840 --> 03:58:06,840
Upstairs

3082
03:58:06,840 --> 03:58:08,840
In football

3083
03:58:08,840 --> 03:58:10,840
When the game is on

3084
03:58:10,840 --> 03:58:12,840
They have scouts of course

3085
03:58:12,840 --> 03:58:14,840
Scouting a given team ahead of time

3086
03:58:14,840 --> 03:58:16,840
Oh, that rule

3087
03:58:16,840 --> 03:58:18,840
New rule has been put into the game of football

3088
03:58:18,840 --> 03:58:20,840
You can't scout a team now

3089
03:58:20,840 --> 03:58:22,840
You only exchange films

3090
03:58:22,840 --> 03:58:24,840
But when the game is on

3091
03:58:24,840 --> 03:58:26,840
These scouts upstairs

3092
03:58:26,840 --> 03:58:28,840
They can watch your offense and defense

3093
03:58:28,840 --> 03:58:30,840
And see what's happening better than you can at ground level

3094
03:58:30,840 --> 03:58:32,840
Absolutely

3095
03:58:32,840 --> 03:58:34,840
And that's the point too

3096
03:58:34,840 --> 03:58:36,840
It's true in all sports

3097
03:58:36,840 --> 03:58:38,840
The worst seat of all

3098
03:58:38,840 --> 03:58:40,840
In hockey or football

3099
03:58:40,840 --> 03:58:42,840
Baseball is downstairs

3100
03:58:42,840 --> 03:58:44,840
And baseball is certainly in the dugout

3101
03:58:44,840 --> 03:58:46,840
And there are hockey teams now

3102
03:58:46,840 --> 03:58:48,840
That are putting people upstairs

3103
03:58:48,840 --> 03:58:50,840
To see the formations

3104
03:58:50,840 --> 03:58:52,840
How they get the puck out of their zone

3105
03:58:52,840 --> 03:58:54,840
Where they mass their five skaters

3106
03:58:54,840 --> 03:58:56,840
It makes sense

3107
03:58:56,840 --> 03:58:58,840
And when you're at ice level

3108
03:58:58,840 --> 03:59:00,840
We never broadcast a game from my level

3109
03:59:00,840 --> 03:59:02,840
And that's what the coach is saying

3110
03:59:02,840 --> 03:59:04,840
He's not saying anything

3111
03:59:04,840 --> 03:59:06,840
Figures go up and down

3112
03:59:06,840 --> 03:59:08,840
You sit upstairs

3113
03:59:08,840 --> 03:59:10,840
It's an entirely different game

3114
03:59:10,840 --> 03:59:12,840
There's something else too that's involved

3115
03:59:12,840 --> 03:59:14,840
Upstairs you have one thing to think about

3116
03:59:14,840 --> 03:59:16,840
Billy has a thousand things to think about downstairs

3117
03:59:16,840 --> 03:59:18,840
And we have nothing else to do

3118
03:59:18,840 --> 03:59:20,840
But before the games

3119
03:59:20,840 --> 03:59:22,840
I'll go over and sometimes I'll study charts

3120
03:59:22,840 --> 03:59:24,840
And scouting reports

3121
03:59:24,840 --> 03:59:26,840
And look at new ball players

3122
03:59:26,840 --> 03:59:28,840
On paper

3123
03:59:28,840 --> 03:59:30,840
During the game think of this one thing

3124
03:59:30,840 --> 03:59:32,840
Whereas Billy has a thousand things to do

3125
03:59:32,840 --> 03:59:34,840
And it's sort of a relief in a way

3126
03:59:34,840 --> 03:59:36,840
If you can take it that way

3127
03:59:36,840 --> 03:59:38,840
Just moving players

3128
03:59:38,840 --> 03:59:40,840
I go over with the pitchers before the game

3129
03:59:40,840 --> 03:59:42,840
How they're going to pitch them

3130
03:59:42,840 --> 03:59:44,840
What kind of fastball they have

3131
03:59:44,840 --> 03:59:46,840
I know what kind of fastball most of our pitchers have

3132
03:59:46,840 --> 03:59:48,840
I know that when Gidry's right

3133
03:59:48,840 --> 03:59:50,840
Right hand hitters so to speak don't pull

3134
03:59:50,840 --> 03:59:52,840
His fastball very much

3135
03:59:52,840 --> 03:59:54,840
When he gets it over the plate they can't pull the ball

3136
03:59:54,840 --> 03:59:56,840
Because it's too much fastball

3137
03:59:56,840 --> 03:59:58,840
Well if a guy is a pull hitter

3138
03:59:58,840 --> 04:00:00,840
Why play him to pull against Gidry when he's getting the fastball over the plate

3139
04:00:00,840 --> 04:00:02,840
And usually surprisingly

3140
04:00:02,840 --> 04:00:04,840
They don't hit his slider anyway

3141
04:00:04,840 --> 04:00:06,840
Let me ask you this

3142
04:00:08,840 --> 04:00:10,840
In the second game of this World Series

3143
04:00:10,840 --> 04:00:12,840
Houten showed the Yankees

3144
04:00:12,840 --> 04:00:14,840
His knuckled curve

3145
04:00:14,840 --> 04:00:16,840
But he was getting them out

3146
04:00:16,840 --> 04:00:18,840
Mainly on the fastball

3147
04:00:18,840 --> 04:00:20,840
If I'm correct I may be wrong

3148
04:00:20,840 --> 04:00:22,840
But at least he was throwing more fastball

3149
04:00:22,840 --> 04:00:24,840
He was showing them enough of the knuckled curve early

3150
04:00:24,840 --> 04:00:26,840
And looked like the hitters were looking for it

3151
04:00:26,840 --> 04:00:28,840
I happened to talk to one of the coaches tonight

3152
04:00:28,840 --> 04:00:30,840
And he said

3153
04:00:30,840 --> 04:00:32,840
I think our guys ought to stand up there

3154
04:00:32,840 --> 04:00:34,840
And look for the fastball

3155
04:00:34,840 --> 04:00:36,840
And said knuckled curve and pull him

3156
04:00:36,840 --> 04:00:38,840
Did that make sense or not

3157
04:00:38,840 --> 04:00:40,840
Well I don't know that much about it

3158
04:00:40,840 --> 04:00:42,840
Because you know hitting was for me

3159
04:00:42,840 --> 04:00:44,840
It was awfully tough

3160
04:00:44,840 --> 04:00:46,840
But I do know that I heard hitters talking about it

3161
04:00:46,840 --> 04:00:48,840
And I know they made some adjustments

3162
04:00:48,840 --> 04:00:50,840
On Houten and it worked out well

3163
04:00:50,840 --> 04:00:52,840
Especially Reggie I know he made some adjustments

3164
04:00:52,840 --> 04:00:54,840
Well it sort of jammed us early

3165
04:00:54,840 --> 04:00:56,840
Like he said

3166
04:00:56,840 --> 04:00:58,840
That home run really put us back in

3167
04:00:58,840 --> 04:01:00,840
That's right

3168
04:01:00,840 --> 04:01:02,840
It was a turning point in the ballgame

3169
04:01:02,840 --> 04:01:04,840
Really

3170
04:01:04,840 --> 04:01:06,840
I think it was

3171
04:01:06,840 --> 04:01:08,840
Well

3172
04:01:08,840 --> 04:01:10,840
Gene we're going to let you go

3173
04:01:10,840 --> 04:01:12,840
Thank you very much

3174
04:01:12,840 --> 04:01:14,840
And by the way congratulations

3175
04:01:14,840 --> 04:01:16,840
Thank you John

3176
04:01:16,840 --> 04:01:18,840
Thank you Mel

3177
04:01:18,840 --> 04:01:20,840
I appreciate it

3178
04:01:20,840 --> 04:01:22,840
We hope we get Gabe and George

3179
04:01:22,840 --> 04:01:24,840
By the way before you go

3180
04:01:24,840 --> 04:01:26,840
You know one thing that interested me

3181
04:01:26,840 --> 04:01:28,840
I love inside baseball

3182
04:01:28,840 --> 04:01:30,840
Tonight Goodson came up to spin Schitter

3183
04:01:30,840 --> 04:01:32,840
Yanks were way out in front of 8-3

3184
04:01:32,840 --> 04:01:34,840
I think it was the 8-10

3185
04:01:34,840 --> 04:01:36,840
I see Martin go out there and you knew Martin

3186
04:01:36,840 --> 04:01:38,840
Was talking to Musson Torres

3187
04:01:38,840 --> 04:01:40,840
Here's the book

3188
04:01:40,840 --> 04:01:42,840
We haven't seen much of him

3189
04:01:42,840 --> 04:01:44,840
No one's seen much of him

3190
04:01:44,840 --> 04:01:46,840
You know they were talking it over

3191
04:01:46,840 --> 04:01:48,840
I have Norman McClain on

3192
04:01:48,840 --> 04:01:50,840
He's got his views from the Yankee clubhouse

3193
04:01:50,840 --> 04:01:52,840
People wondering why aren't we in the clubhouse

3194
04:01:52,840 --> 04:01:54,840
We're upstairs and you know the celebration is going on

3195
04:01:54,840 --> 04:01:56,840
And those guys want to be

3196
04:01:56,840 --> 04:01:58,840
With each other in the clubhouse

3197
04:01:58,840 --> 04:02:00,840
Before they go out

3198
04:02:00,840 --> 04:02:02,840
It's the biggest night of their lives

3199
04:02:02,840 --> 04:02:04,840
They're taking two showers

3200
04:02:04,840 --> 04:02:06,840
The first one was champagne

3201
04:02:06,840 --> 04:02:08,840
And we hope that

3202
04:02:08,840 --> 04:02:10,840
Maybe we can get Gabe and George

3203
04:02:10,840 --> 04:02:12,840
Maybe they're upstairs

3204
04:02:12,840 --> 04:02:14,840
And we're going to get to

3205
04:02:14,840 --> 04:02:16,840
Norman McClain

3206
04:02:16,840 --> 04:02:18,840
He's at every arena in Ballpark

3207
04:02:18,840 --> 04:02:20,840
In the city

3208
04:02:20,840 --> 04:02:22,840
We're going to get to Norman in just a moment

3209
04:02:22,840 --> 04:02:24,840
Once again, thanks to

3210
04:02:24,840 --> 04:02:26,840
Long John Evelyn Candy Jones

3211
04:02:26,840 --> 04:02:28,840
For relinquishing some of their time in New York

3212
04:02:28,840 --> 04:02:30,840
They're on the Mutual Network

3213
04:02:30,840 --> 04:02:32,840

04:02:34,840 --> 04:02:36,840
Let me talk to you about Quasar

Norman I

3252
04:03:48,840 --> 04:03:50,840
I'm so happy to see

3253
04:03:50,840 --> 04:03:52,840
You know tonight

3254
04:03:52,840 --> 04:03:54,840
Was more than just a World Series win

3255
04:03:54,840 --> 04:03:56,840
It was a great World Series win in the World Championship

3256
04:03:56,840 --> 04:03:58,840
For New York City again

3257
04:03:58,840 --> 04:04:00,840
And we're both New Yorkers and both love this

3258
04:04:00,840 --> 04:04:02,840
Great City which has its problems

3259
04:04:02,840 --> 04:04:04,840
But tonight it was the centerpiece

3260
04:04:04,840 --> 04:04:06,840
The showcase for millions

3261
04:04:06,840 --> 04:04:08,840
Of people across the country who love baseball

3262
04:04:08,840 --> 04:04:10,840
And it couldn't have been more dramatic

3263
04:04:10,840 --> 04:04:12,840
With the Jackson 3 homers

3264
04:04:12,840 --> 04:04:14,840
Especially dramatic Norman

3265
04:04:14,840 --> 04:04:16,840
And followed the continuing

3266
04:04:16,840 --> 04:04:18,840
Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman trials

3267
04:04:18,840 --> 04:04:20,840
And tribulations. Now you went downstairs

3268
04:04:20,840 --> 04:04:22,840
Tell me about the feeling in the club house

3269
04:04:22,840 --> 04:04:24,840
And what some of the guys were talking about

3270
04:04:24,840 --> 04:04:26,840
And what was that?

3271
04:04:26,840 --> 04:04:28,840
The high assignment with the AP was exactly that

3272
04:04:28,840 --> 04:04:30,840
Now I have been

3273
04:04:30,840 --> 04:04:32,840
At least 10 of these things

3274
04:04:32,840 --> 04:04:34,840
Previously in other cities in many cases

3275
04:04:34,840 --> 04:04:36,840
And I've been in Yankee once before

3276
04:04:36,840 --> 04:04:38,840
In 1962 most of them

3277
04:04:38,840 --> 04:04:40,840
15 years ago. This was different

3278
04:04:40,840 --> 04:04:42,840
This meant something. Those players

3279
04:04:42,840 --> 04:04:44,840
Had been through so much

3280
04:04:44,840 --> 04:04:46,840
Mainly hacking at each other

3281
04:04:46,840 --> 04:04:48,840
Hacking at the front office, the Billy Martin situation

3282
04:04:48,840 --> 04:04:50,840
That finally winning

3283
04:04:50,840 --> 04:04:52,840
Seemed to be

3284
04:04:52,840 --> 04:04:54,840
Just much more than overcoming the dodges

3285
04:04:54,840 --> 04:04:56,840
Greg Nettles put it this way

3286
04:04:56,840 --> 04:04:58,840
He says winning cures a lot of problems

3287
04:04:58,840 --> 04:05:00,840
But I don't want to go through another season like this

3288
04:05:00,840 --> 04:05:02,840
Even if we win

3289
04:05:02,840 --> 04:05:04,840
Gabe Paul

3290
04:05:04,840 --> 04:05:06,840
Of course

3291
04:05:06,840 --> 04:05:08,840
Acknowledged

3292
04:05:08,840 --> 04:05:10,840
That the possibility

3293
04:05:10,840 --> 04:05:12,840
Of Thurman Munson

3294
04:05:12,840 --> 04:05:14,840
Leaving was there but he said

3295
04:05:14,840 --> 04:05:16,840
You're not going to get away that easy

3296
04:05:16,840 --> 04:05:18,840
And I see Gabe Paul here

3297
04:05:18,840 --> 04:05:20,840
Right now so why don't we give

3298
04:05:20,840 --> 04:05:22,840
Gabe a shot? Well boy we're very happy

3299
04:05:22,840 --> 04:05:24,840
Mel Allen has brought in the two men that we wanted

3300
04:05:24,840 --> 04:05:26,840
Most of all have been trying to get for the past

3301
04:05:26,840 --> 04:05:28,840
Hour and a half that we've been on the air

3302
04:05:28,840 --> 04:05:30,840
Mr. George Steinbrenner

3303
04:05:30,840 --> 04:05:32,840
And Mr. Gabe Paul and you know we mentioned this

3304
04:05:32,840 --> 04:05:34,840
With Robert Merrill

3305
04:05:34,840 --> 04:05:36,840
With Representative Edward Koch

3306
04:05:36,840 --> 04:05:38,840
With Boi Kuhn

3307
04:05:38,840 --> 04:05:40,840
With your wife Mrs. Steinbrenner

3308
04:05:40,840 --> 04:05:42,840
With Peter Duchin

3309
04:05:42,840 --> 04:05:44,840
Of the turnaround that's been the New York Yankees

3310
04:05:44,840 --> 04:05:46,840
Since you two gentlemen got here a few years ago

3311
04:05:46,840 --> 04:05:48,840
And I know you couldn't be happy

3312
04:05:48,840 --> 04:05:50,840
There's nothing I can say to make you happy

3313
04:05:50,840 --> 04:05:52,840
Not only did you win and win the world's championship

3314
04:05:52,840 --> 04:05:54,840
But it was achieved in the most dramatic fashion

3315
04:05:54,840 --> 04:05:56,840
With Reggie Jackson being three homers on three pitches

3316
04:05:56,840 --> 04:05:58,840
Chris Chambers sitting at two run home run

3317
04:05:58,840 --> 04:06:00,840
To get us back on the ball game

3318
04:06:00,840 --> 04:06:02,840
And there's nothing I can say I'm so happy

3319
04:06:02,840 --> 04:06:04,840
For both of you, I really am

3320
04:06:04,840 --> 04:06:06,840
Let me start off with Gabe

3321
04:06:06,840 --> 04:06:08,840
I think it's Gabe's second experience

3322
04:06:08,840 --> 04:06:10,840
Gabe congratulations first of all

3323
04:06:10,840 --> 04:06:12,840
Thank you very much

3324
04:06:12,840 --> 04:06:14,840
I want to say that great players rise to the occasion

3325
04:06:14,840 --> 04:06:16,840
As Reggie did tonight

3326
04:06:16,840 --> 04:06:18,840
The greater the player the more they rise to the occasion

3327
04:06:18,840 --> 04:06:20,840
And he did

3328
04:06:20,840 --> 04:06:22,840
Gabe I know you've been close

3329
04:06:22,840 --> 04:06:24,840
Many times

3330
04:06:24,840 --> 04:06:26,840
And

3331
04:06:26,840 --> 04:06:28,840
Got the brass ring

3332
04:06:28,840 --> 04:06:30,840
On one occasion, never his presence

3333
04:06:30,840 --> 04:06:32,840
That's correct

3334
04:06:32,840 --> 04:06:34,840
But

3335
04:06:34,840 --> 04:06:36,840
Once when Cincinnati had

3336
04:06:36,840 --> 04:06:38,840
221 homers

3337
04:06:38,840 --> 04:06:40,840
They missed

3338
04:06:40,840 --> 04:06:42,840
About two games that year

3339
04:06:42,840 --> 04:06:44,840
And I know this must be in the half century

3340
04:06:44,840 --> 04:06:46,840
Approximately

3341
04:06:46,840 --> 04:06:48,840
Being connected to baseball from the time you started

3342
04:06:48,840 --> 04:06:50,840
One of the greatest thrills I've ever had in my life

3343
04:06:50,840 --> 04:06:52,840
Well, I could ask you a lot of questions

3344
04:06:52,840 --> 04:06:54,840
But I'd love to know what's in your heart

3345
04:06:54,840 --> 04:06:56,840
My heart is at a time

3346
04:06:56,840 --> 04:06:58,840
I'm so glad for myself

3347
04:06:58,840 --> 04:07:00,840
I'm so glad for George Steinbrunner

3348
04:07:00,840 --> 04:07:02,840
I'll tell you

3349
04:07:02,840 --> 04:07:04,840
I think George and I

3350
04:07:04,840 --> 04:07:06,840
We

3351
04:07:06,840 --> 04:07:08,840
Have a team

3352
04:07:08,840 --> 04:07:10,840
I think really

3353
04:07:10,840 --> 04:07:12,840
We compliment each other

3354
04:07:12,840 --> 04:07:14,840
And we have a compatibility

3355
04:07:14,840 --> 04:07:16,840
That has helped

3356
04:07:16,840 --> 04:07:18,840
And he puts a burr up my tail

3357
04:07:18,840 --> 04:07:20,840
Every now and then and I need it

3358
04:07:20,840 --> 04:07:22,840
But he's got a red hot poker

3359
04:07:22,840 --> 04:07:24,840
And you know something

3360
04:07:24,840 --> 04:07:26,840
He's got that poker in the fire dial for next year

3361
04:07:28,840 --> 04:07:30,840
But the thing is

3362
04:07:30,840 --> 04:07:32,840
Certain doctors know how to use it

3363
04:07:32,840 --> 04:07:34,840
And it doesn't hurt you

3364
04:07:34,840 --> 04:07:36,840
In the end you went out

3365
04:07:36,840 --> 04:07:38,840
I have no pain

3366
04:07:38,840 --> 04:07:40,840
I got very lucky tonight

3367
04:07:40,840 --> 04:07:42,840
New gentlemen don't know about it

3368
04:07:42,840 --> 04:07:44,840
Very important to me

3369
04:07:44,840 --> 04:07:46,840
The Nathan Islanders owner Roy Bow

3370
04:07:46,840 --> 04:07:48,840
And their vice president Mike Manzer

3371
04:07:48,840 --> 04:07:50,840
And Ed Bibinski and Mike Dietemasso

3372
04:07:50,840 --> 04:07:52,840
Of Manchester Productions

3373
04:07:52,840 --> 04:07:54,840
And the radio rights

3374
04:07:54,840 --> 04:07:56,840
And my general manager Dennis Israel

3375
04:07:56,840 --> 04:07:58,840
A program director Mark Mason

3376
04:07:58,840 --> 04:08:00,840
Insisted that we not do

3377
04:08:00,840 --> 04:08:02,840
The talking game on the network

3378
04:08:02,840 --> 04:08:04,840
And they said do you have to go out there

3379
04:08:04,840 --> 04:08:06,840
And I wouldn't have missed this for real

3380
04:08:06,840 --> 04:08:08,840
I am so happy

3381
04:08:08,840 --> 04:08:10,840
I don't tell you about the trials and tribulations

3382
04:08:10,840 --> 04:08:12,840
But in your own words

3383
04:08:12,840 --> 04:08:14,840
What do you feel now

3384
04:08:14,840 --> 04:08:16,840
You've won the world's championship

3385
04:08:16,840 --> 04:08:18,840
This is what you've been fighting for

3386
04:08:18,840 --> 04:08:20,840
Since you got to New York

3387
04:08:20,840 --> 04:08:22,840
And you've won the world's championship

3388
04:08:22,840 --> 04:08:24,840
Back in the city

3389
04:08:24,840 --> 04:08:26,840
George you give you the best answer

3390
04:08:26,840 --> 04:08:28,840
About tomorrow afternoon

3391
04:08:28,840 --> 04:08:30,840
When the dance is settled down

3392
04:08:30,840 --> 04:08:32,840
I feel the same way

3393
04:08:32,840 --> 04:08:34,840
The world's championship is now where it belongs

3394
04:08:34,840 --> 04:08:36,840
In New York City

3395
04:08:36,840 --> 04:08:38,840
And that's where it belongs

3396
04:08:38,840 --> 04:08:40,840
And that's where it is

3397
04:08:40,840 --> 04:08:42,840
And that's where it's going to stay for a long time

3398
04:08:42,840 --> 04:08:44,840
That's all there is to it

3399
04:08:44,840 --> 04:08:46,840
And the stadium was filled

3400
04:08:46,840 --> 04:08:48,840
And the world was

3401
04:08:48,840 --> 04:08:50,840
With representative Kotze

3402
04:08:50,840 --> 04:08:52,840
A great night for baseball and great for the Yankees

3403
04:08:52,840 --> 04:08:54,840
It is John

3404
04:08:54,840 --> 04:08:56,840
I feel the same way

3405
04:08:56,840 --> 04:08:58,840
It's great to be a part of it

3406
04:08:58,840 --> 04:09:00,840
The credit goes to Gabe and Billy

3407
04:09:00,840 --> 04:09:02,840
I came in the weekends to see the ball games

3408
04:09:02,840 --> 04:09:04,840
But the credit goes to those two guys

3409
04:09:04,840 --> 04:09:06,840
They did the job, they made the trades

3410
04:09:06,840 --> 04:09:08,840
They got the people and they kept it going

3411
04:09:08,840 --> 04:09:10,840
And the team never gave up

3412
04:09:10,840 --> 04:09:12,840
It's so great for the American League

3413
04:09:12,840 --> 04:09:14,840
But the biggest thing about it is how great it is for New York

3414
04:09:14,840 --> 04:09:16,840
It just shows everybody

3415
04:09:16,840 --> 04:09:18,840
It's a whole new world of champions

3416
04:09:18,840 --> 04:09:20,840
And I've said it all along and I mean it

3417
04:09:20,840 --> 04:09:22,840
It really is

3418
04:09:22,840 --> 04:09:24,840
You know there have been knocks all the time about the Yankees

3419
04:09:24,840 --> 04:09:26,840
Buying the championship

3420
04:09:26,840 --> 04:09:28,840
Well first of all, the Free Asian thing is here

3421
04:09:28,840 --> 04:09:30,840
If it wasn't here, we wouldn't be involved

3422
04:09:30,840 --> 04:09:32,840
But since it's here, you might as well play by the rules

3423
04:09:32,840 --> 04:09:34,840
Those are the rules so you're playing by them

3424
04:09:34,840 --> 04:09:36,840
But, Gabe Paul Gattier

3425
04:09:36,840 --> 04:09:38,840
George Steinberg and I was at that press conference that day

3426
04:09:38,840 --> 04:09:40,840
The Yankees were not drawing crowds

3427
04:09:40,840 --> 04:09:42,840
I've been here 5 and a half years

3428
04:09:42,840 --> 04:09:44,840
The Yankees had a poor team and they weren't drawing crowds

3429
04:09:44,840 --> 04:09:47,460
and the Mets were doing it all and bless them for it.

3430
04:09:47,460 --> 04:09:50,540
Also Bill Shea was here and he was as happy as anyone else.

3431
04:09:50,540 --> 04:09:52,580
Gaitball traded for Chris Chambliss.

3432
04:09:52,580 --> 04:09:54,580
Gaitball traded for Greg Nettles.

3433
04:09:54,580 --> 04:09:56,500
Gaitball traded for Willie Randolph.

3434
04:09:56,500 --> 04:09:57,340
Glupin' Ella.

3435
04:09:57,340 --> 04:09:59,380
Glupin' Ella, Mickey Rivers.

3436
04:09:59,380 --> 04:10:00,420
On and on and on.

3437
04:10:00,420 --> 04:10:03,980
And you really deserve all the credit in the world.

3438
04:10:03,980 --> 04:10:06,300
Well, you don't do those things unless you have the backing

3439
04:10:06,300 --> 04:10:09,700
and you can't take the risk unless you have a race

3440
04:10:09,700 --> 04:10:10,540
around your pencil.

3441
04:10:10,540 --> 04:10:13,860
And the backing was here and the stimulation,

3442
04:10:13,860 --> 04:10:17,140
as I talked about, that red hot poker was right here.

3443
04:10:17,140 --> 04:10:20,580
And that's the teamwork and that's what you need.

3444
04:10:20,580 --> 04:10:23,220
Because you can sit on your duff a little bit

3445
04:10:23,220 --> 04:10:25,940
at a little bit of a time, but I never

3446
04:10:25,940 --> 04:10:28,700
have a chance to sit on my duff hot.

3447
04:10:28,700 --> 04:10:30,780
Me here at 830 a moment.

3448
04:10:30,780 --> 04:10:34,940
George, can I say one thing in my personal standpoint?

3449
04:10:34,940 --> 04:10:37,340
I had to have a man of his stature remind me

3450
04:10:37,340 --> 04:10:39,820
that we had met once, two years ago,

3451
04:10:39,820 --> 04:10:43,900
when he was football assistant football coach at Purdue.

3452
04:10:43,900 --> 04:10:49,380
And this past season, somebody lacking a column

3453
04:10:49,380 --> 04:10:54,860
for an open date called me up and went to a column.

3454
04:10:54,860 --> 04:10:56,540
My whole point was, as part of it,

3455
04:10:56,540 --> 04:10:58,940
was about the very thing you mentioned.

3456
04:10:58,940 --> 04:11:02,300
But I said, well, I can say one thing about George Steinbrenner.

3457
04:11:02,300 --> 04:11:05,660
I said, I first met him when he was assistant football coach

3458
04:11:05,660 --> 04:11:08,060
at Purdue, later Northwestern.

3459
04:11:08,060 --> 04:11:11,580
And I said, he's used to recruiting.

3460
04:11:11,580 --> 04:11:14,660
I said, how you recruit, you recruit according to the rules.

3461
04:11:14,660 --> 04:11:16,860
But the rules are this way.

3462
04:11:16,860 --> 04:11:19,220
And so he's used to recruiting to win.

3463
04:11:19,220 --> 04:11:20,420
And there's nothing wrong with that.

3464
04:11:20,420 --> 04:11:21,500
I say there isn't, too.

3465
04:11:21,500 --> 04:11:23,540
And what I should tell you about that time

3466
04:11:23,540 --> 04:11:26,260
was I was between coaching jobs.

3467
04:11:26,260 --> 04:11:27,660
I wanted to go into sports casting.

3468
04:11:27,660 --> 04:11:29,020
Somebody says, why don't you call Mel Allen?

3469
04:11:29,020 --> 04:11:30,460
I said, he wouldn't know me from anything.

3470
04:11:30,460 --> 04:11:31,820
I was a 22-year-old kid.

3471
04:11:31,820 --> 04:11:34,100
And Mel talked to me for 45 minutes on the telephone.

3472
04:11:34,100 --> 04:11:34,980
Didn't know me from Eve.

3473
04:11:34,980 --> 04:11:35,860
I never forgot it.

3474
04:11:35,860 --> 04:11:37,220
And I remind him of when I saw him.

3475
04:11:37,220 --> 04:11:39,060
And that kind of consideration for a young guy

3476
04:11:39,060 --> 04:11:40,420
is why you're what you are, Mel.

3477
04:11:40,420 --> 04:11:41,980
Well, I appreciate it.

3478
04:11:41,980 --> 04:11:43,620
I don't want to see a living legend that makes this

3479
04:11:43,620 --> 04:11:44,340
not a picture.

3480
04:11:44,340 --> 04:11:45,940
You're ready to be.

3481
04:11:45,940 --> 04:11:47,820
I want to say somebody's father.

3482
04:11:47,820 --> 04:11:49,700
His father, Henry Steinbrenner.

3483
04:11:49,700 --> 04:11:51,220
I met his mother and father here.

3484
04:11:51,220 --> 04:11:55,340
His father was the greatest track star in the history of MIT.

3485
04:11:55,340 --> 04:11:56,820
And how do I know that?

3486
04:11:56,820 --> 04:11:58,140
My brother went to MIT.

3487
04:11:58,140 --> 04:12:01,020
And he said, is Henry Steinbrenner

3488
04:12:01,020 --> 04:12:03,020
any relation to George Steinbrenner?

3489
04:12:03,020 --> 04:12:04,540
And I said, his father.

3490
04:12:04,540 --> 04:12:07,020
He says, is the only track star we've ever

3491
04:12:07,020 --> 04:12:08,540
had in the history of MIT?

3492
04:12:08,540 --> 04:12:09,740
Only NCAA champion.

3493
04:12:09,740 --> 04:12:11,700
He won the lower.

3494
04:12:11,700 --> 04:12:13,460
Well, thanks for having us, John.

3495
04:12:13,460 --> 04:12:16,220
I listen to you every night going home and everything.

3496
04:12:16,220 --> 04:12:17,940
And coming.

3497
04:12:17,940 --> 04:12:19,740
And you've been a great, great boost to us.

3498
04:12:19,740 --> 04:12:20,900
And you've stuck with us.

3499
04:12:20,900 --> 04:12:23,100
And the fans out there that would call.

3500
04:12:23,100 --> 04:12:25,580
And I'm so happy for the fans in New York.

3501
04:12:25,580 --> 04:12:28,700
Those people that take the time to call and express their views

3502
04:12:28,700 --> 04:12:30,540
and tell you when you're right, tell you when you're wrong.

3503
04:12:30,540 --> 04:12:31,780
But they never gave up on the team.

3504
04:12:31,780 --> 04:12:33,380
And they're the guys that deserve the credit.

3505
04:12:33,380 --> 04:12:35,100
You know, the commissioner of baseball,

3506
04:12:35,100 --> 04:12:36,220
I put him to the test.

3507
04:12:36,220 --> 04:12:37,180
Well, I have only time.

3508
04:12:37,180 --> 04:12:39,900
I don't like to get the controversial deliberately.

3509
04:12:39,900 --> 04:12:42,420
So I said, you know, and Gene Michaels was in here.

3510
04:12:42,420 --> 04:12:44,020
He was saying, tell you.

3511
04:12:44,020 --> 04:12:47,220
And John, you tell him, I said, you know, you and George

3512
04:12:47,220 --> 04:12:49,340
Steinbrenner have had your ups and downs.

3513
04:12:49,340 --> 04:12:51,100
That is disagreements.

3514
04:12:51,100 --> 04:12:52,820
What did he say, John?

3515
04:12:52,820 --> 04:12:54,460
He said, yes, but we're still friends.

3516
04:12:54,460 --> 04:12:55,860
And that's the greatness of baseball.

3517
04:12:55,860 --> 04:12:57,620
And what we've done is for the good of baseball.

3518
04:12:57,620 --> 04:12:59,300
I said, whether we agree or whether we don't agree.

3519
04:12:59,300 --> 04:13:00,580
We've got a good commissioner.

3520
04:13:00,580 --> 04:13:02,780
And I said, a time and time again the last year.

3521
04:13:02,780 --> 04:13:03,860
And we have a good commissioner.

3522
04:13:03,860 --> 04:13:05,340
And we should be damn happy to have him.

3523
04:13:05,340 --> 04:13:07,260
And you know what we also said, which is really true,

3524
04:13:07,260 --> 04:13:08,860
that you go over all the years.

3525
04:13:08,860 --> 04:13:10,460
This baseball is about a year.

3526
04:13:10,460 --> 04:13:13,140
Great crowds in all cities, not just some cities.

3527
04:13:13,140 --> 04:13:15,700
And the American League, oh, as the American League came up

3528
04:13:15,700 --> 04:13:18,020
with the two great cities, Seattle and Toronto.

3529
04:13:18,020 --> 04:13:19,980
Well, you've come here and you built a champion.

3530
04:13:19,980 --> 04:13:20,860
And I congratulate you.

3531
04:13:20,860 --> 04:13:22,060
WMCA congratulates you.

3532
04:13:22,060 --> 04:13:24,340
We're so happy you're such a big part of the station.

3533
04:13:24,340 --> 04:13:25,300
We thank you very much.

3534
04:13:25,300 --> 04:13:26,180
We be grateful.

3535
04:13:26,180 --> 04:13:28,300
Thank you for all the help you've given us all year.

3536
04:13:28,300 --> 04:13:30,660
And to the fans out there that take the time to call,

3537
04:13:30,660 --> 04:13:31,420
thanks to them.

3538
04:13:31,420 --> 04:13:32,700
They deserve the credit.

3539
04:13:32,700 --> 04:13:37,020
And before you know, whether all this happened all year,

3540
04:13:37,020 --> 04:13:39,020
you can have written a script.

3541
04:13:39,020 --> 04:13:41,100
And you've been in show business.

3542
04:13:41,100 --> 04:13:43,180
They're late by you, Jackson, to buy.

3543
04:13:43,180 --> 04:13:44,380
Nobody would buy this script.

3544
04:13:44,380 --> 04:13:45,380
They tried to sell it for a movie.

3545
04:13:45,380 --> 04:13:45,880
Nobody.

3546
04:13:45,880 --> 04:13:46,380
You can do it.

3547
04:13:46,380 --> 04:13:47,380
Impossible.

3548
04:13:47,380 --> 04:13:49,260
Thanks for your real home run.

3549
04:13:49,260 --> 04:13:50,700
We're going to need Chinese jobs.

3550
04:13:50,700 --> 04:13:53,420
Thanks so much for coming in.

3551
04:13:53,420 --> 04:13:54,180
That's great.

3552
04:13:54,180 --> 04:13:59,060
We have eight minutes or so to chat with each other.

3553
04:13:59,060 --> 04:14:00,940
I'm so happy you've gotten, Mr. Steinberg.

3554
04:14:00,940 --> 04:14:02,900
You know, I wish we didn't have any more minutes left

3555
04:14:02,900 --> 04:14:03,740
for the sembraries.

3556
04:14:03,740 --> 04:14:06,740
I think I topped off the evening.

3557
04:14:06,740 --> 04:14:10,900
I mean, you know, two guys that really were, you know.

3558
04:14:10,900 --> 04:14:12,860
You know, when you were talking to Gabe,

3559
04:14:12,860 --> 04:14:13,740
I want to tell you this.

3560
04:14:13,740 --> 04:14:14,900
Yeah.

3561
04:14:14,900 --> 04:14:17,140
You're talking to Gabe on Mike.

3562
04:14:17,140 --> 04:14:19,780
And off Mike, George Steinberg came to me and said,

3563
04:14:19,780 --> 04:14:25,140
you know, John, I ran into a guy downstairs in television.

3564
04:14:25,140 --> 04:14:27,340
He said to me, talking to George Steinberg,

3565
04:14:27,340 --> 04:14:31,980
said, you know, if I got a Hollywood script writer

3566
04:14:31,980 --> 04:14:35,020
to write a movie, you know, in those corny baseball movies,

3567
04:14:35,020 --> 04:14:36,780
you're usually announcing it, by the way.

3568
04:14:36,780 --> 04:14:37,780
Yeah.

3569
04:14:37,780 --> 04:14:39,900
Like the Babe Ruth story.

3570
04:14:39,900 --> 04:14:41,220
You know, the great Mel Allen line,

3571
04:14:41,220 --> 04:14:44,540
he had to announce in the corny Babe Ruth movie in 1948.

3572
04:14:44,540 --> 04:14:46,380
And he was announcing the home runs of Babe Ruth

3573
04:14:46,380 --> 04:14:48,860
and Mel said, you know, I was three years old at the time.

3574
04:14:48,860 --> 04:14:49,060
Yeah.

3575
04:14:49,060 --> 04:14:49,820
But anyway.

3576
04:14:49,820 --> 04:14:52,260
Well, that was what the critic did in reviewing the movie.

3577
04:14:52,260 --> 04:14:54,300
He said, you know, it makes no sense to me going into,

3578
04:14:54,300 --> 04:14:59,420
you know, a whole two column review or a one column review.

3579
04:14:59,420 --> 04:15:00,540
Let me just put it this way.

3580
04:15:00,540 --> 04:15:03,900
They had Mel Allen describing Babe Ruth's 60th home run

3581
04:15:03,900 --> 04:15:07,620
in 1927 when he was just three years old.

3582
04:15:07,620 --> 04:15:10,020
That gave you an idea of the rest of the picture.

3583
04:15:10,020 --> 04:15:13,180
But you know, he said to me off Mike again, he said,

3584
04:15:13,180 --> 04:15:15,740
he said, this guy TV guy came to me and said, you know,

3585
04:15:15,740 --> 04:15:17,940
if I had a Hollywood script writer to write this,

3586
04:15:17,940 --> 04:15:23,340
the world championship game, the guy who's been in the center

3587
04:15:23,340 --> 04:15:27,660
of this unbelievable maelstrom of controversy hitting three

3588
04:15:27,660 --> 04:15:31,580
over his bang, bang, bang, the third one in the center field.

3589
04:15:31,580 --> 04:15:32,700
These were no one hits one.

3590
04:15:32,700 --> 04:15:34,980
It went halfway back, by the way, off a knuckleball.

3591
04:15:34,980 --> 04:15:37,980
The only guy that ever hit one over the old fence

3592
04:15:37,980 --> 04:15:40,860
was Mickey Mantle batting right handed

3593
04:15:40,860 --> 04:15:43,540
against the left hand pitcher.

3594
04:15:43,540 --> 04:15:45,820
And so this is, you know, very similar.

3595
04:15:45,820 --> 04:15:47,220
No one would ever believe it.

3596
04:15:47,220 --> 04:15:48,060
No one would believe it.

3597
04:15:48,060 --> 04:15:48,500
And you know what?

3598
04:15:48,500 --> 04:15:49,140
We were here.

3599
04:15:49,140 --> 04:15:50,260
We believe it.

3600
04:15:50,260 --> 04:15:52,940
Well, you know, you and I are now together two seasons

3601
04:15:52,940 --> 04:15:56,220
and we've seen two things happen.

3602
04:15:56,220 --> 04:15:58,940
Chambliss is home running won the playoffs last year

3603
04:15:58,940 --> 04:16:00,180
in the ninth inning.

3604
04:16:00,180 --> 04:16:03,500
And this dramatic thing today, dramatic in this sense,

3605
04:16:03,500 --> 04:16:07,060
not because of the team victory alone.

3606
04:16:07,060 --> 04:16:12,300
But like you put it so well before, all the maelstrom

3607
04:16:12,300 --> 04:16:15,740
you use that word, controversy, headlines

3608
04:16:15,740 --> 04:16:18,500
and newspapers on the air, all this sort of thing.

3609
04:16:18,500 --> 04:16:22,020
And who comes up wondering whether people

3610
04:16:22,020 --> 04:16:24,300
loved him or not, but Reggie Jackson.

3611
04:16:24,300 --> 04:16:26,100
I think he found out that people loved him

3612
04:16:26,100 --> 04:16:27,660
because they finally made him come out.

3613
04:16:27,660 --> 04:16:31,580
He took a bow after an ovation, right?

3614
04:16:31,580 --> 04:16:32,660
It was an amazing year.

3615
04:16:32,660 --> 04:16:35,780
I've been through some amazing world series and playoffs,

3616
04:16:35,780 --> 04:16:39,620
but nothing has compared quite with this in view of what

3617
04:16:39,620 --> 04:16:42,500
started in spring training with the Mickey Rivers.

3618
04:16:42,500 --> 04:16:45,620
Then came right on through with a bunch of other guys.

3619
04:16:45,620 --> 04:16:49,660
It also shows you that you can talk all you want about what

3620
04:16:49,660 --> 04:16:50,500
happens off the field.

3621
04:16:50,500 --> 04:16:52,100
Can we get Bob Fischelin for a moment?

3622
04:16:52,100 --> 04:16:53,580
Yeah, I asked Bob before you said it.

3623
04:16:53,580 --> 04:16:54,700
Can we get Bob Fischelin?

3624
04:16:54,700 --> 04:16:58,980
He'd talk about what happens off the field

3625
04:16:58,980 --> 04:17:01,700
in the newspapers, radio, TV, whatever.

3626
04:17:01,700 --> 04:17:03,140
And everyone has their job to do.

3627
04:17:03,140 --> 04:17:04,300
And everyone has to talk.

3628
04:17:04,300 --> 04:17:07,020
But what goes on in baseball is what

3629
04:17:07,020 --> 04:17:08,740
goes on between the two white lines.

3630
04:17:11,980 --> 04:17:15,100
And what goes on between the two white lines

3631
04:17:15,100 --> 04:17:17,300
has made the Yankees champion.

3632
04:17:17,300 --> 04:17:20,060
Here is a gentleman who worked with Mel Allen

3633
04:17:20,060 --> 04:17:22,220
so many years as the PR director of the Yankees

3634
04:17:22,220 --> 04:17:23,940
is now assistant to the commissioner.

3635
04:17:23,940 --> 04:17:25,420
We have a commissioner on, by the way,

3636
04:17:25,420 --> 04:17:27,100
among many of the luminaries.

3637
04:17:27,100 --> 04:17:29,340
And a good friend of mine, Bob Fischelin.

3638
04:17:29,340 --> 04:17:30,820
Thanks, John, but that's the wrong title.

3639
04:17:30,820 --> 04:17:32,220
I'm assistant to the president of the American League.

3640
04:17:32,220 --> 04:17:33,620
This is the president of the American League.

3641
04:17:33,620 --> 04:17:35,620
I'm sorry.

3642
04:17:35,620 --> 04:17:37,580
You've seen so many world series and all,

3643
04:17:37,580 --> 04:17:41,820
but this final game was such a kick because of the dramatics.

3644
04:17:41,820 --> 04:17:42,300
It sure was.

3645
04:17:42,300 --> 04:17:42,900
I've always seen it.

3646
04:17:42,900 --> 04:17:44,620
We've all seen an awful lot of dramatics.

3647
04:17:44,620 --> 04:17:46,500
This is the greatest show in sports.

3648
04:17:46,500 --> 04:17:48,580
What do we have in the front of the media guide?

3649
04:17:48,580 --> 04:17:50,980
We have something about America's premier sports event.

3650
04:17:50,980 --> 04:17:52,460
That's sort of a dramatic way of putting it.

3651
04:17:52,460 --> 04:17:54,140
But that's what it really is.

3652
04:17:54,140 --> 04:17:55,980
You never can tell what's going to happen in this game.

3653
04:17:55,980 --> 04:17:58,060
And that's what makes baseball such a fantastic ball game.

3654
04:17:58,060 --> 04:18:00,780
Who would believe that the center of all the controversy

3655
04:18:00,780 --> 04:18:02,700
would hit three home runs on three pitches.

3656
04:18:02,700 --> 04:18:05,700
The final one off a knuckleball, I guess, low outside.

3657
04:18:05,700 --> 04:18:08,660
He hit it about 450 feet in the centerfield bleaches.

3658
04:18:08,660 --> 04:18:09,660
That's all.

3659
04:18:09,660 --> 04:18:10,700
It was exciting.

3660
04:18:10,700 --> 04:18:11,780
As a matter of fact, I didn't see it.

3661
04:18:11,780 --> 04:18:12,980
I was already down in the interview room

3662
04:18:12,980 --> 04:18:14,700
and heard about it after I got there.

3663
04:18:14,700 --> 04:18:15,940
I saw the first two.

3664
04:18:15,940 --> 04:18:17,100
But it was a super series.

3665
04:18:17,100 --> 04:18:18,980
And it's a great thing for the Yankees, a great thing for New

3666
04:18:18,980 --> 04:18:21,580
York and Uber for the American League to have a.

3667
04:18:21,580 --> 04:18:24,860
I sat next to your boss, Lee McFail,

3668
04:18:24,860 --> 04:18:26,580
at the baseball writers' dinner in January.

3669
04:18:26,580 --> 04:18:28,820
And I asked him about the two cities, Seattle and Toronto,

3670
04:18:28,820 --> 04:18:32,300
coming in and what they'd be like.

3671
04:18:32,300 --> 04:18:34,380
He had great reports about it.

3672
04:18:34,380 --> 04:18:36,820
Well, this year, Bob Fishel was the greatest year

3673
04:18:36,820 --> 04:18:37,780
in American League history.

3674
04:18:37,780 --> 04:18:39,620
You broke all attendance records.

3675
04:18:39,620 --> 04:18:42,500
You brought in two cities that were two fabulous cities.

3676
04:18:42,500 --> 04:18:43,940
Toronto almost drew to me.

3677
04:18:43,940 --> 04:18:45,980
And Seattle way over a million.

3678
04:18:45,980 --> 04:18:48,380
And now you've won the American League once again,

3679
04:18:48,380 --> 04:18:50,580
has won the World's Championship for the fourth time

3680
04:18:50,580 --> 04:18:51,780
in the last six years.

3681
04:18:51,780 --> 04:18:52,780
You have to be very happy.

3682
04:18:52,780 --> 04:18:53,580
We're very happy.

3683
04:18:53,580 --> 04:18:56,980
And we do 19,650,000 fans from coast to coast.

3684
04:18:56,980 --> 04:18:58,700
It was really a sensational year.

3685
04:18:58,700 --> 04:19:00,100
We had the only week spot.

3686
04:19:00,100 --> 04:19:01,300
Really, the whole league was open.

3687
04:19:01,300 --> 04:19:03,380
And there were extenuating circumstances there.

3688
04:19:03,380 --> 04:19:04,580
So it was a super year, John.

3689
04:19:04,580 --> 04:19:06,180
It was just great.

3690
04:19:06,180 --> 04:19:07,380
It's just really thrilling.

3691
04:19:07,380 --> 04:19:09,060
I'm not part of it because after all,

3692
04:19:09,060 --> 04:19:10,860
we're just working in the office for the league,

3693
04:19:10,860 --> 04:19:12,820
but supporting all the clubs.

3694
04:19:12,820 --> 04:19:14,300
But the Yankees did a tremendous job.

3695
04:19:14,300 --> 04:19:16,820
The Red Sox in Kansas City and Baltimore

3696
04:19:16,820 --> 04:19:17,900
also had tremendous years.

3697
04:19:17,900 --> 04:19:18,980
He had a lot of other clubs.

3698
04:19:18,980 --> 04:19:20,180
I interrupt here for a moment.

3699
04:19:20,180 --> 04:19:22,020
He said he had nothing to do with it.

3700
04:19:22,020 --> 04:19:25,700
He had a lot to do with it because it was a build up.

3701
04:19:25,700 --> 04:19:29,460
Bob came here.

3702
04:19:29,460 --> 04:19:32,060
It was a Bob 1954.

3703
04:19:32,060 --> 04:19:36,220
And the great tradition that was continued in for a while,

3704
04:19:36,220 --> 04:19:37,260
it wasn't.

3705
04:19:37,260 --> 04:19:39,700
And that was because of extenuating circumstances.

3706
04:19:39,700 --> 04:19:44,660
But Bob, if he, I don't know if he's able to say it

3707
04:19:44,660 --> 04:19:47,500
from a given standpoint or not, but you

3708
04:19:47,500 --> 04:19:51,300
can't work for this organization over a number of years

3709
04:19:51,300 --> 04:19:55,380
without having that tradition embedded within you

3710
04:19:55,380 --> 04:19:56,460
and not feeling.

3711
04:19:56,460 --> 04:19:57,700
Well, certainly.

3712
04:19:57,700 --> 04:20:00,180
I came here and we won nine tennis in our first 10 years

3713
04:20:00,180 --> 04:20:00,380
here.

3714
04:20:00,380 --> 04:20:01,340
You can never forget that.

3715
04:20:01,340 --> 04:20:03,340
If you lived to be 1,000 years old, which we know as well.

3716
04:20:03,340 --> 04:20:06,700
But nine and 10 is, nobody will ever have that in sports.

3717
04:20:06,700 --> 04:20:07,780
It was a tremendous thing.

3718
04:20:07,780 --> 04:20:09,940
Well, you and Jordan renewed this tradition

3719
04:20:09,940 --> 04:20:11,820
was a great thing.

3720
04:20:11,820 --> 04:20:17,660
Bob is close to General Manager and President of the Yankees,

3721
04:20:17,660 --> 04:20:19,900
George Wison, and Lee McFail.

3722
04:20:19,900 --> 04:20:22,340
And he knew what it took to win pennants.

3723
04:20:22,340 --> 04:20:24,380
It took more than just organization.

3724
04:20:24,380 --> 04:20:25,380
There's a great sports track.

3725
04:20:25,380 --> 04:20:26,420
He wants to talk to Mary.

3726
04:20:26,420 --> 04:20:27,220
All right.

3727
04:20:27,220 --> 04:20:28,420
Bob, thank you very much.

3728
04:20:28,420 --> 04:20:28,920
Thank you.

3729
04:20:28,920 --> 04:20:29,420
Appreciate it.

3730
04:20:29,420 --> 04:20:31,700
Well, we're going to get off because it's time.

3731
04:20:31,700 --> 04:20:37,300
And Long John Neville, Candy Jones, are going to go on.

3732
04:20:37,300 --> 04:20:40,500
And I just want to again thank all the people who

3733
04:20:40,500 --> 04:20:41,420
helped us cover this.

3734
04:20:41,420 --> 04:20:45,420
And now WMCA will, after winning this championship,

3735
04:20:45,420 --> 04:20:48,380
will hope to get championships in hockey and basketball.

3736
04:20:48,380 --> 04:20:50,660
Hockey season has begun.

3737
04:20:50,660 --> 04:20:55,740
And the New York Nets will begin their quest

3738
04:20:55,740 --> 04:20:56,500
for the playoffs.

3739
04:20:56,500 --> 04:21:00,060
So this Friday night at the Rutgers Athletic Center

3740
04:21:00,060 --> 04:21:02,380
in Piscataway, New Jersey, we look for you there.

3741
04:21:02,380 --> 04:21:06,460
They'll play the New Orleans Jazz with Pete Marovitch,

3742
04:21:06,460 --> 04:21:08,220
Chuck Robinson at all.

3743
04:21:08,220 --> 04:21:09,060
Tickets are available.

3744
04:21:09,060 --> 04:21:10,140
The ticket try and charge it.

3745
04:21:10,140 --> 04:21:11,620
All the athletics at a box office.

3746
04:21:11,620 --> 04:21:16,020
And for season tickets, please call 201-935-8888.

3747
04:21:16,020 --> 04:21:18,140
201-935-8888.

3748
04:21:18,140 --> 04:21:20,620
We only have a couple more minutes.

3749
04:21:20,620 --> 04:21:24,100
And we better get off before we do.

3750
04:21:24,100 --> 04:21:25,860
And very quickly, and this is not going to be mushy,

3751
04:21:25,860 --> 04:21:28,980
I promise you.

3752
04:21:28,980 --> 04:21:30,740
When I first met you, off the air,

3753
04:21:30,740 --> 04:21:33,420
I told you that you were my hero.

3754
04:21:33,420 --> 04:21:36,940
And that's a bit mushy in itself.

3755
04:21:36,940 --> 04:21:38,220
But anyway, I always looked up to you,

3756
04:21:38,220 --> 04:21:39,660
and I'm so glad I can work with you.

3757
04:21:39,660 --> 04:21:40,940
We've become good buddies here.

3758
04:21:40,940 --> 04:21:41,820
And I thank you, Mel.

3759
04:21:41,820 --> 04:21:42,980
We had a lot of fun together.

3760
04:21:42,980 --> 04:21:44,700
And right here in this year, both.

3761
04:21:44,700 --> 04:21:45,220
It's been great.

3762
04:21:45,220 --> 04:21:47,060
We'll see you back here next year, huh?

3763
04:21:47,060 --> 04:21:48,660
We're the only two guys on Oregon

3764
04:21:48,660 --> 04:21:51,300
to step on each other's toes and not feet.

3765
04:21:51,300 --> 04:21:52,300
Not at all.

3766
04:21:52,300 --> 04:21:53,180
Not at all.

3767
04:21:53,180 --> 04:21:59,580
And I might add something that the management and the staff

3768
04:21:59,580 --> 04:22:02,780
of WMCA Radio, the flagship station of the New York Yankees

3769
04:22:02,780 --> 04:22:06,500
radio network, wishes to congratulate George Steinbrenner,

3770
04:22:06,500 --> 04:22:10,140
Gay Paul, Billy Martin, and the entire team of the New York

3771
04:22:10,140 --> 04:22:12,940
Yankees on their World Series victory.

3772
04:22:12,940 --> 04:22:16,820
WMCA has carried the Yankees for the past seven years.

3773
04:22:16,820 --> 04:22:19,900
And can hardly wait for next season to begin.

3774
04:22:19,900 --> 04:22:22,180
The Yankees, and George Steinbrenner

3775
04:22:22,180 --> 04:22:23,300
said this a moment ago.

3776
04:22:23,300 --> 04:22:25,020
It's what's made him the happiest.

3777
04:22:25,020 --> 04:22:27,540
The Yankees have brought the World Championship of Baseball

3778
04:22:27,540 --> 04:22:29,220
back to New York.

3779
04:22:29,220 --> 04:22:33,180
WMCA is proud to have brought you all the action.

3780
04:22:33,180 --> 04:22:35,340
Well, I'm really proud to be part of it.

3781
04:22:35,340 --> 04:22:36,860
It's a very small part, I know.

3782
04:22:36,860 --> 04:22:40,340
But I'm very proud that I could join probably

3783
04:22:40,340 --> 04:22:42,460
the foremost sportscaster in the 20th century

3784
04:22:42,460 --> 04:22:44,740
in this country, Mel Allen, and bring you all these shows.

3785
04:22:44,740 --> 04:22:47,060
And that sounds like a lot of bull, and it really isn't.

3786
04:22:47,060 --> 04:22:48,300
You think about it.

3787
04:22:48,300 --> 04:22:50,100
He's been the number one guy and still is.

3788
04:22:50,100 --> 04:22:52,860
How it depends which part of the bull you're talking about.

3789
04:22:52,860 --> 04:22:54,740
That's free-save for him.

3790
04:22:54,740 --> 04:22:56,940
And by the way, Mel, both be credits.

3791
04:22:56,940 --> 04:22:57,940
Right.

3792
04:22:57,940 --> 04:23:01,100
The most game World Series Championship program

3793
04:23:01,100 --> 04:23:03,020
has been brought to you by Crazy Eddie.

3794
04:23:03,020 --> 04:23:04,300
His prices are insane.

3795
04:23:04,300 --> 04:23:05,820
There are about a million people in the Bronx

3796
04:23:05,820 --> 04:23:07,940
who are a little bit insane with his great Yankee win.

3797
04:23:07,940 --> 04:23:09,740
And by Coyzar Quality TV.

3798
04:23:09,740 --> 04:23:12,260
And our thanks also to Mr. Herve Buffalo Broski

04:23:27,860 --> 04:23:30,300
And don't forget the salmon soup and the lemon cream pie.

3807
04:23:30,300 --> 04:23:31,900
The salmon soup and the lemon cream pie.

3808
04:23:31,900 --> 04:23:34,140
And by the way, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

3809
04:23:34,140 --> 04:23:36,660
I'll be on the air right after the 7 o'clock news.

04:23:36,660 --> 04:23:38,860

Let's get behind the chiller.

3824
04:24:10,180 --> 04:24:11,180
Yankee.

3825
04:24:11,180 --> 04:24:13,940
They're gonna learn to feel it.

3826
04:24:13,940 --> 04:24:15,420
Yankee.

3827
04:24:15,420 --> 04:24:17,900
Everyone knows they play the way.

3828
04:24:17,900 --> 04:24:21,380

04:24:22,380 --> 04:24:25,140

Yankee.

3832
04:24:26,620 --> 04:24:28,620
They're gonna run away when you're done.

3833
04:24:28,620 --> 04:24:30,100
Yankee.

3834
04:24:30,100 --> 04:24:35,100
Why do you say to me when I'm ready to fall again?

3835
04:24:35,100 --> 04:24:38,580
They're gonna shout when you're out of the ball.

3836
04:24:38,580 --> 04:24:42,580
They're gonna scream, put it out of the wall.

3837
04:24:42,580 --> 04:24:44,580
They are the team, out of nowhere.

3838
04:24:44,580 --> 04:24:47,580
They're gonna play the way.

3839
04:24:47,580 --> 04:24:49,580
Parched, they're going to be on it.

3840
04:24:49,580 --> 04:24:50,580
Yankee.

3841
04:24:50,580 --> 04:24:51,580

When we run away, we're gonna take the big ball.

3848
04:25:04,580 --> 04:25:06,580
Hit, punch, punch, punch, punch, punch, punch, punch, punch.

3849

They're gonna shout when you're out of the ball.

3851
04:25:24,580 --> 04:25:28,580
They got a scream, put it on the volume

3852
04:25:28,580 --> 04:25:31,580
The other team's gonna know what it is

3853
04:25:31,580 --> 04:25:35,580
They don't mind, they can't believe it

3854
04:25:35,580 --> 04:25:38,580
Yes, we got one, Yankee

3855
04:25:38,580 --> 04:25:40,580
