On Sunday, October 7th, 1962, the San Francisco Giants faced the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium for Game 3 of the 1962 World Series.
The series was tied at one game apiece after the masterful three hits shut out by the Giants Jack Sanford in Game 2.
The series moved to New York for Game 3, where the Giants Billy Pierce faced the Yankees Bill Stafford.

The third game of the 1962 World Series. Yesterday we're here in Yankee Stadium, and in a few moments we'll be all set to bring you the big third game.
We say the big one because both managers, it was interesting to note, it's a pivotal game. As far as the pitching is concerned, Alvin Dark says we're not hurting too badly because it'll be Juan Marichal.
For the Yankees, it would be Whitey Ford. That would be tomorrow. But the big game today, that's the one that will determine just who will be used.
Billy Pierce will be pitching for the San Francisco Giants this afternoon, and for the Yankees it'll be Bill Stafford.
Pierce has done a tremendous job for these Giants. He followed them coming down that stretch in a nationally raised and in the playoffs.
Remember it was Billy Pierce who came in to nail it down. Pierce has been a big pleasant surprise with his fastball more than anything else.
The playoffs, he was not afraid to challenge the Dodger hitters. Pierce has been known to have a good slider and a good curveball,
but it was the fastball that he kept down that seemed to keep the Dodger hitters off-stride.
Billy Pierce, the left-hander is warming up to the left of home plate while a right-hander and sinker baller, Bill Stafford, is warming up on the other side.

And any publication rebroadcasts or other use of the descriptions and the confidence game without the express consent of the Commissioner is prohibited.
Bill Stafford, we're watching warm up right now, he's throwing sinker balls. When you talk to his catchers, both Alston Howard, who by the way will be in the lineup along with Moose Scarn,
Alston Howard says his stafford's got them all as far as thinking. It depends heavily on a sinker ball, but he throws a slider, a change-up and a curve.
And when you talk to him, the one thing that both Yogi and Alston Howard add right now is that Stafford is not afraid to throw strikes.
He's got good control and he's not afraid to get that ball over. So that's the way the ball player prays.
If you're a fellow for statistics, I'm not too much far myself, the way they measure it is your base on balls should be about half of what they strike outs are.
Stafford, before the season, 176 strikes outs and he walked only 57 men. He's a big, powerful guy who comes about three quarters and if he's got his good stuff,
he should see a lot of ground balls. He, like Billy Pierce, pitches down. It's a partly cloudy day here at Yankee Stadium and the sun has been coming in and out.
You bring that up because it seems like every October when these Yankees are in the World Series, the shadows become so famous and so prominent here at Yankee Stadium.
Neither ball club was able to work out yesterday because of the weather. Today, when this run was out, both left-fielders try to get out there to try to see if there was any effect as far as the shadows are concerned.
Right now, there isn't a shadow to be seen in this ball fight. The grass was just cut this morning so it's a very fast and veal and a very fast out veal.
Ball clubs like to work out right after work has been done on the infield but that was impossible because of the weather yesterday.
As we mentioned, neither ball club worked out and this morning the ground crew telling me that at seven o'clock they were out and they were already working on the grass.
The lineups just a bit different to the extent that Alvin Dike is leading off with Philippe Alou. This is the first time this year that Philippe Alou is leading off.
He'll be playing left field while big Willie McCovey will be in right field.
With some thought as to whether it would be McCovey or Sopeta in the lineup, Alvin Dike, the manager, has solved that problem by having both of them in the lineup.
Sopeta will be at first base and McCovey will be in right field. You might add that McCovey put on some exhibition of long ball hitting during batting practice.
Big Yankee Stadium down the right field line, it's 296 feet but it really fells out to a 3-44 and right center which is a power slot.
Right center and left center. Right center, it's 407. A big three-tier grandstand here and McCovey hit two of them that I saw into the third tier.
So Willie was really putting on some exhibition of hitting during batting practice.
There's no breeze here. The official temperature is somewhere around 65 and they say the wind is from northwest 15 to 25 miles per hour.
The ball players will be constantly checking the flags as far as they're concerned. Not being the weathermen, not knowing maybe the direction whether it's northwest, the flags are blowing towards the right field corner.
They'll be looking towards those flags all afternoon.
Moose Scarron and Elston Howard not in the second ball game at 2-0 three-hits shutout pitch by Jack Sanford. Both of them will be in the lineup.
Howard has his wrist heavily taped. Scarron with the bat back feeling much better. He'll be in the lineup.
And here are the lineups for the visiting San Francisco Giants.
Philippe Alou leads off. He'll be in left field. Alou left field. Batting second, it's Chuck Hiller at second base.
Hiller, second base. Batting third in center field, it's Willie Mays. Mays will be in center field. Batting third.
In the cleanup spot, it's the right fielder McCovey. Willie McCovey, MC capital C-O-V-E-Y. McCovey will be in right field.
Batting fifth, it'll be the first baseman Orlando Sapeta. Sapeta, C-E-P-A-D-A. Sapeta will be in first base.
The catcher, the pride of Strawberry Plains Ed Bailey. Bailey will be the catcher.
Batting seventh, it'll be the third baseman Jim Davenport. Davenport bat seventh.
And batting eighth, it's the surprise of the series so far. The shortstop, Jose Pagan. Pagan is the shortstop.
And batting ninth, it's the pitcher Billy Pierce. Pierce is 1-16, he is lost to six.
All the New York Yankees leading off, it'll be the shortstop Tony Kuback. Kuback, the shortstop.
Batting second, the second baseman Bobby Richardson. Richardson at second base. Batting third, it's Tresh.
Tresh will be in left field. Batting fourth, it's the center fielder Mannell. Mannell will be in center field.
Batting fifth, it's the right fielder Roger Maris. Maris will be in right field.
Batting sixth, the catcher Alston Howard. Howard the catcher.
Batting seventh, the first baseman Scowren. Moose Scowren at first base.
Batting eighth, it's the third baseman Boyer. Cleat Boyer at third base and batting ninth, it's the pitcher Bill Stafford.
Stafford is 1-14, and he is lost nine.
Stafford against Billy Pierce, the third game of the 1962 World Series.
And the third game of this 1962 World Series is being brought to you from Yankee Stadium in New York.
See that new Plymouth parked outside?
Nice, huh?
Who's is it?
Mine.
Plymouth 63 on the move. You'll see it in the dramatic new styling, wide and low.
Clean line, unpluttered surfaces.
Inside you'll also see the new quality in the trim, the new colors,
a new easier to read instrument panel.
And you'll also feel it in the greater strength and durability from Chrysler Corporation's Unibody Construction.
In convertibles, hard tops, station wagons.
In 26 models, you'll see and feel why Plymouth 63 is on the move.
Let your dealer demonstrate the car on the move.
Plymouth 63, a product of Chrysler Corporation.
Where quality is engineered into every car.
Plymouth 63, a product of Chrysler Corporation.
The gallant was streaming and the rocket red glare, the bumpers singing in air.
The gates pulled through the night that our flag was still there.
Both leaders and cars bang on, and the jets wave.
All the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
So with a plane of an a-slam from both four clubs head for the dugouts,
and pretty soon it'll be the third game of this 1962 World Series.
Both pitchers continue to warm up.
It's been a long warm-up session for both Billy Fisk and Bill Stafford.
A partly cloudy day, and the sun is just peeping through right now.
It would stay like this, would be a little bit of a problem in left field.
The double spots here are down the lines where it bellies out,
and if you're not careful, as a right or left field is a ball,
you just hook that wall and scoot on way out to left center or right center.
Both the ball clubs working out before the game to guard against it.
And right now we pause 10 seconds for station identification.
This is WGY-810 on your dials, Connected-E.
Are you mixing in the best?
Is Saratoga fishy with the gal label?
Hit out so tall the rest.
Bill Stafford has just completed his warm-up to us as he is the second ball
and the real good slider, Billy Pierce, just motioning to his catcher, Tom Haller.
He's going to throw a couple more curveballs, an overhanded curveball,
the kind that when we were kids we used to call it drop.
On the home plate side, next to the Yankee dugout,
Hall of Famer, Joe DiMaggio is getting all set to throw out the first ball.
And with a smile on his face, he's just motioned Elston Howard to back up a little bit.
There's Joe DiMaggio, tremendous man.
Yankee Clipper, Hall of Famer, he gets that and throws a strike to Elston Howard.
Yankee is all on the top step of the dugout, watching the great Yankee DiMaggio.
Howard hands the ball back.
DiMaggio now going through the Yankee dugout.
The umpires are all poised, Stan Landis behind the plate.
Here goes the Yankee, the long club.
And if you're wondering about right handers against left handers and they're tuning to what have you,
the Yankees have six right handers against left handers, no in-mars.
Keep in mind that both Tom Thresch and Mickey Mannell switch hitters,
six right handers excluding the pitchers,
three left handers against the right hander, Bill Stafford.
McCarvey and Zepeda both in the lineup for the Giants, Howard and Starren,
downfall starters for the Yankees both in the lineup this afternoon.
The third game in George Kell, it was kind of interesting to sit on a bench
of both ball clubs and hear him say that this is the big ball game.
It seems like every game in the World Series before it starts, it's always the big one.
You're right, Joe, it is a big ball game for both ball clubs.
As you said before, this is a pivotal ball game and each team would like to take a 2-1 edge
and do tomorrow's game.
And of course, both clubs would like a sweep here in this series
and would like to wrap it up right here in Yankee Stadium.
But Ralph Hough, I think, echoed the sentiments of all the ball players on both teams
when he said it looks like an almost impossible task for either team to sweep
in these three ball games because we're too evenly matched.
And of course, the Yankees have run into a little better pitching from the Giants
than they anticipated, although it would be hard to get them to admit that,
but they felt like that the Giants staff coming through the playoffs
might be a little bit weary, but Jack Sanford gave a tremendous rise
to the pitching importance of the San Francisco Giants.
Well, we're getting ready to go here in the third game of this World Series.
Bill Stafford, a right-hander, is doing the pitching for the Yankees.
Bill has won 14 and lost 9 this year, and his mound opponent will be the left-hander, Billy Pierce.
Billy has won 60 and lost 6.
The umpires here today, Stan Landis, will be behind the plate.
Jim Honarchick of the American League at first base, Al Barlich of the National League at second base,
and Charlie Berry of the American League will be on a third.
Hank Soar has moved down the left field line in this ball game,
and Ken Burkhart of the National League is down the right field line.
They have switched positions.
As Joe told you, it's turned out to be a pretty good afternoon here in New York.
Rain through most of yesterday and cloudy, cool weather forecasted here today,
but right now the sun is popping through.
We have a few blue skies up above, still some clouds around,
but a bright, sunshiny afternoon is in prospect here for the third game of this World Series.
A slight delay right now as the band in center field just getting off the field,
and they're getting the chairs out of the way and closing the exit gate,
and Philippe Ballou steps in to lead off for the Giants here in this third ball game.
Alua right handed batter, he has a 3-33 batting average,
he's been to the plate six times and he has two hits.
He has no home runs, no runs batted in.
Bill Stafford looking in to get the sign,
and the first pitch of the ball game is on its way.
A curve ball that's in there once right.
This will not be the highly partisan crowd that we found in San Francisco,
but the Giants have a lot of routers here in New York and they seem to be out in mass today.
The pitch to Alua is in there,
Spike too, another curve ball around the knees,
a Spike to count.
Alua, Hiller and Mays will be the giant batters here in the first inning.
Stafford gets ready, here's the two strike pitch.
A curve ball outside, he checked his swing just in time.
The first time this year that Alua is leading off and that Stafford certainly not pitching to him
as you would a lead off man, he hadn't tried to get ahead of Alua with a fast ball.
He has done three breaking balls, two real good curve balls and a slider.
Alua is a power hitter more or less, with McCovey and Sophena and Mays in there.
It's about as powerful a lead off man as you can get.
One ball and two strikes, Stafford ready.
Here's the pitch, fast ball, it's a little bit high.
This one just above the letters.
Stafford thought he had him, he looked down to Stan Landis.
A ball too and a strike to count.
Yankees play him straight away, deep in the outfield.
Everybody back on the infield.
Bill gets ready, the two two pitch.
Here's a lying drag in the center field,
Madel racing in, he's got it.
Alua hit that one like a bullet.
A low liner in the left center,
make him out, racing over to make the catch.
That's one away, and the batter will be the second baseman, Chuck Hiller.
Alua put his legs, Chuck's a left handed batter.
He has a 286 batting average,
he has two home runs and seven trips in the series.
Two hits and seven trips, no home runs, no runs batted in.
Stafford delivers a fast ball, it's in there, one strike together.
We're in the first inning, one out with no one on, no score in the ball game.
Time is called as a piece of paper comes floating across the infield
and Stafford's going to run it down.
We're going to see some high priced collectors this afternoon, George.
Al Barlett just came up with a piece of paper, Stafford has just collected some.
The breeze is really whipping through here and a lot of it is blown out of the stands
and ball players hate to be distracted.
Here's the one strike pitch, outside he got the fast ball off the corner.
One and one to Hiller, the weather report for tomorrow is not good.
Showers, cloudy weather forecasted for this area on Monday.
The one one pitch coming up, curve ball, he got it over, one ball, two strikes.
Stafford has thrown a lot of curves here in the first inning and he's been able to get them over.
Shawkiller, left handed hitting second baseman standing in,
chokes the bat as he waits on Stafford.
Here's the one two pitch, change up, he got it too high.
A ball two and a strike two count.
Willie Mays is in the on-deck circle and you'll hear a roar from this crowd when Willie steps in.
A great favorite here in New York.
The club has moved to San Francisco but they have not forgotten Mr. Mays.
Here's the two two pitch, down low, fast ball coming low and in.
Three and two to Hiller.
Both clubs tried to work out here yesterday but rain in appeared.
They suited up, ran a little in the outfield but no chance for infield practice or batting practice.
Stafford into the wind up, here's the three two pitch, ball he got it too high.
Shawkiller, he's on the ball.
Here's Willie Mays stepping in.
Willie's batting average at 375 in the stairs, three hits and eight trips.
Willie has no home runs and one run batted in.
He's playing deep but around to the left.
Everybody back on the infield but scouring. Stafford delivers a curve, he pops it up to the shot stop.
Willie checked his swing on a curve ball, the ball hit his bat, never did get very high.
Cube back moved over near the bag and suck it to make the catch.
Well there's two outs and the batter will be Willie McCovey.
No score here in the first inning. The giants with a runner in first base and two down.
McCovey is a big left handed batter.
Joey's probably a legend, looks like a lonesome in out there.
He's about three steps already on the outfield grass as they really swing around to play McCovey to four head ball.
Man was way over in right center, man is deep.
Stafford checks his runner, the pitch to McCovey is inside, a fast ball that pushed him back.
One ball and no strikes.
The amazing thing about McCovey's home run off Terry was the fact that it stayed fair.
Terry was talking about that tremendous shot that McCovey hit and candles, thinking he said his ball is inside as it was, he thought it'd go foul.
Here's the one in open, strike, he got a fast ball over right around the knees.
I think he shook the Yankees up a little when he said he didn't hit it good.
He came up with some pretty good, he said, why should I travel up playing the Yankees?
It's almost like playing the Mets in Houston.
Here's a quick throw to first base, he'll are back in time.
One ball, one strike.
William McCovey the batter, big tall left handed batter.
Stafford delivers, fast ball, he bounces it foul over to the end of the Yankee dugout.
One ball, two strikes.
McCovey is playing in the outfield today, so Peta has moved back to first base and Maddie Alou is out of the line up.
We're in the first inning, there's no score in the ball game.
Chuck Hiller is on a first base with two outs.
Chuck threw a walk on a three-two pitch.
Bill Stafford looking in.
Taking a little time pitching to McCovey.
Here's the one-two pitch. Change of pace, he pops it up behind the plate.
This one's going to be out of play.
Souvenir baseball for some lucky fan.
Still a ball and two strikes.
McCovey goes right in there, he's a real good fast ball hitter.
The one pitch he had to learn to hit is the change of pace.
He gets it back once he starts it forward, the weight of it and the size of it carries it right on through.
Takes a little bit of courage, George.
I thought this big ball would change up when you only 60 feet, 6 inches because that fat looks like it swells up when he's in the benefit box.
I noticed Scowren was looking in to Stafford while he was changing up on him.
He's pretty close himself.
Bobby Richardson, the second baseman, playing about three or four steps back on the edge of the outfield grass.
Stafford gets set.
Here's the one-two pitch.
Fastball is too high, but leaving the count at two and two.
The all-important third game of this World Series, the giants and the Yankees locked at one game apiece.
Stafford checking the sign, the two-two pitch.
Curveball is too low, just below the knees with this one.
So it's three and two to McCovey.
The runner in first base will be moving on this pitch.
You can see they wanted it badly for that very reason.
They didn't want to give that here-and-those extra four steps that he'll pick up on the three-two.
They wanted that decision on the two-two, and he really snapped off a good curveball, but McCovey, he knows that strike zone pretty well.
We're ready to go. The three-two pitch. Curveball, it's inside.
Willie, check this swing and tell him on a close pitch.
Two walks here in the first inning, the giants have runners in first and second with two outs,
and the batter will be Orlando Sopeta.
Sopeta is looking for his first hit in the World Series. He's been to the plate four times.
Big right-handed batter. Stafford delivers a curve, one strike.
The Yankees will play Orlando a little bit in the right field.
Mickey Mowell was over in right center, has moved back a little bit towards center field.
Tommy Trash over in left center. Here's the one strike pitch. Another curve, it's inside. One ball, one strike.
Two on, two outs, no score in the first inning.
Bill Stafford trying to get them out.
Checks his runners. Here's the one-one pitch. Swing with them is. He got the pass ball by one ball, two strikes.
They try to keep the ball inside to Sopeta. Like set ball out over the plate,
something he can rifle up the alley in right center. Stafford trying to pitch him tight, keeping the curve down low.
Here's the one-two pitch. Here's the curve. He hits it deep to the left if he stays there. It's gone.
It is foul ball in left field. Sopeta caught a curve ball and drove it deep in the left and curved foul at the last moment.
Sopeta when he came into the National League, right now Elston Howard out talking to his British stafford and settling down.
Sopeta when he came into the National League, came into the League with a reputation of being a real good breaking ball hitter,
which is unusual for the young ball players. Usually the other way around, if they have to learn how to hit the curve ball or the breaking stuff,
they're all powerful fastball hitters. But Sopeta is deep in the batter's box, kind of a high-speed stance,
like the older fellas tell you, and can hit that ball in the right center and he waits. He waits on it for a ball.
Stafford ready. The one-two pitch. Here's a ground ball of a second base. Richardson out to the left here with the ball of first.
He's down on a close play. Bobby Richardson fumbled the ball for just a moment, flipped it over to first in time against Sopeta.
Now, Ron Snow hits, no arrows, two men left, and the score at the end of the first half, the first turning,
and that's nothing with the Yankees coming to bat. And what about that one? A 63 Plymouth Sport Fury. That's for me.
Plymouth's on the move, and the 1963 Plymouth Sport Fury is built especially for the man who likes a car on the move.
This is Plymouth with dramatic new styling, but with famous Chrysler engineering features that lead the field.
From the wide low grille to the broad low hood and fresh new roof line, this car is all new. It's a brand new design, clean, uncomplicated lines,
looks and beauty with no reduction in the performance that made Plymouth champ of its class.
Now, for the one you have to own one to catch one. At your dealers now, Plymouth 63, a product of Chrysler Corporation.
Where quality and interior into every car.
Now we move along into the bottom of the first turning. There's no score in the ball game. Billy Pierce, a left hander, is taking his warm up tosses.
He won 16 ball games for the Giants this year. He lost 6. One of those 16, the all important win in the first game of the playoffs when he could out his 8-0.
He also pitched in the ninth inning of the third game of the playoffs.
Tony Kueberk, the leadoff man. He'll be followed by Bobby Richardson, then Tommy Trash. Tony's a left handed batter.
Those two hits and nine trips in the series for a 222 betting average. Takes a curve and it's in there. One strike.
Tony's charting up, blocked a bot. A third baseman Davenport is playing right in on top of it. McCovey's in a step or two at first base.
Billy into the wind up. Here's a one strike pitch. A foul ball has been coming back to the screen.
It's a play to it first base. McCovey is the right fielder today. A two strike count. Two Tony Kueberk.
The Giants play Tony Shala in the outfield pretty much straight away. Pierce delivers. Curve ball. He hits it in the left center field.
Alu drifting back. He's there and he makes a catch. A one handed catch. Alu is having trouble with the sun and at the last moment he reached up and caught it.
The problem with the sun when you hear the ball players talk about it is that you lose it as it comes with the background of the people.
Then they get up above the stands. You're looking right into the sun. It comes back down. It's really on you before you realize it.
It's a partly cloudy day. It's going to be a yo-yo day with those sunglasses off and on, but they better have them out there.
Pierce Bobby Richardson in the second baseman. Pierce delivers. Curve. It's in there. One strike to Bobby.
One hit and nine trips in the series for Bobby for a one-eleven batting average. A little right handed batter. Billy gets ready.
There's the one strike pitch. Outside. One ball. One strike. No score. We're in the bottom of the first inning. The Giants had two runners in the first both on walks.
Here's the one-one pitch. He swings and pops it out of play. This one coming back into the upper deck. One ball. Two strikes.
This is a great ballpark for both Mickey Manley and Mays as far as defensive abilities and putting them on display.
Willie is very shallow in center field and he likes the big ballpark where he can go into high gear and chase it down. He's way in close.
Pierce gets ready. Here's the one-two pitch. Bobby swings and hits a five ball into right center field. Mays going over. McCovey is there. McCovey makes a one-handed catch.
Bobby Richardson out on a flat of Willie McCovey in right center field. He comes two down and the batter will be Tommy Trish.
Willie Mays was all set to make that play and McCovey just bleeps stuff like he's picking cherries. That wouldn't be surprising because he had to see Mays run right between his legs on one of those plays.
I think they're afraid to let Willie take those five balls. Not sure of them.
Mays probably told him, he said, look, I'll take everything I can get my hands on. McCovey's going to say, nope, I'm not here to play and that's what I'm going to do. He just bleeps stuff and grabbed it.
Here's Tom Trish. Billy Pierce delivers a bouncing foul behind the plate, rolling off to the left. Now, one strike, Tommy's a switch batter. He'll be batting right-handed against Billy Pierce.
He's had three hits and eight trips in the series for 375 batting average. We're in the bottom of the first inning. There's two outs with no one on. There's no score in the ballgame.
Right now, it's Bailey has just moved out to the mound for a short conference with Billy Pierce. Looks like he may have been crossed up a bit, George, that curveball broke more than he thought.
Like he may have been looking for a fastball or a slider which wouldn't break as much as the curveball it pierced through because Bailey hadn't shifted over as much as he wanted to.
Here's the one strike, bitch. He swings and bounces this one foul down the third baseline. Strike two to Tommy Trish.
Here's has a good slider and the difference between the curveball and the slider. The slider looks like a fastball and just breaks a little bit down and in whereas the curveball has more of a break on.
It's a bigger break and therefore you really have to shift over and Bailey kind of reached for the first pitch.
Billy into the wind-up. The two strike, bitch, is down low. Very close. Strike started his swing. He checked into one ball, two strikes.
Billy has great control. He'll be pitching to the corners here this afternoon. Good live fastball, good curve, and he'll throw a few slatters.
A one, two, bitch. Fastball, line, foul into the seats down the left wheel. Still a ball and two strikes.
Tony Cubak started the sending with a foul all the left field. Bobby Richardson then flied to right field. Now Tommy Trish the batter with one ball, two strikes.
No score in the first inning. Billy Pierce into the wind-up. Here's the one, two, bitch. Fastball, it's too low. The count is even at two and two.
No hits on the scoreboard as yet. The Giants had two walks in the first inning. Both McCovey and Hiller walked on three, two pitches.
Billy ready. The pitch to Trish. He swings and misses.
Tommy Trish goes down swinging. No runs, no hits, no errors, no one left.
And the score at the end of one full inning of play. The Giants, nothing, the Yankees, nothing.
Say, there's a new 63. A 63 what? A 63 Plymouth. So that's a Plymouth.
Only when you hear this car's name do you know it's a low priced car. Plymouth 63. An exciting car with clean lines, a flat deck, a tough, tight car and a tiger on the road.
Plymouth on the move. A performing car, engineered by Chrysler to be champ car in the Plymouth, Ford and Chevy meet. A car of such character and quality that just stepping into Plymouth gives you a feeling of pride.
Plymouth on the move. A car with new tingle for the young in art. New satisfaction for the wise in purse.
Let your dealer show you Plymouth for 63. A product of Chrysler Corporation. Where quality is engineered into every car.
Now we move along into the top of the second inning. No score in the ballgame. In Bailey the catcher will be the lead off man for the Giants. He'll be followed by Jim Davenport and the shortstop Jose Pagan.
Bailey's a left handed better. Spend of the plate four times in the series, he has no hits.
Yankees move deep and around to the right for the big left handed batter. Bobby Richardson once again on the edge of the outfield grass. Scouring only a step from the grass near the bag at first base.
Bill Stafford looking in. Here's the bench. Her ball, he bounces it foul. One strike.
Bailey was the catcher in the first ballgame of the series for the Giants. Tom Haller did the catching in the second game.
A one strike count to the big fella. He's right down on the end of the bat. Stafford ready. The one strike pitch. Ball, it's in tight.
One and one to Bailey. Bill won 14 ballgames during the regular season. Nine times he was a loser. Here's the one-one pitch.
A swing and a fly ball hit into center field. Mickey Mantle is moving in a couple of steps. He's there and he makes the catch.
Head Bailey goes out on a fly to Mantle in center field. That's one away. That'll bring up the third baseman, Jim Davenport.
Jimmy's a right handed batter. He's had one hit in the series and five trips for a 200 batting average.
We've seen some great infield play in the series. Davenport and Boyer third base have turned in some sterling plays.
Here's the pitch. Turn of ball. He got it over. One strike.
So far that's Stafford has had as good a curve ball. That's seen him have this here, George. Usually he's rare banged and pumped that ball.
Good break and stuff, but he's got a real good break on this one.
Here's the one strike pitch. Another curve. Lined a left field over the head of Boyer.
Into the corner here's Davenport around first on his way to second. The throw coming in is not in time.
Jim Davenport lined one just down the reach of Boyer third base into the corner left field.
And he has a double the first hit of the ball game.
It's all the giants with a runner at second base, one up and the batter will be Jose Pagán.
This little fellow has three hits and five trips for a 600 batting average. He has one run battered in.
Stafford delivers a pass ball up high. One ball, no strikes.
Boyer about even with a bag at third. This little fellow likes to butt. He's one of the fastest baserunners on this ball club.
Here's the one at O-Page. Curve ball, he got it in tight. Ball two and no strikes.
The giants threatened in the first inning. They have two walks. Failed to score as Sapeyta grounded to the second baseman in the inning.
Now here in the second inning after Bailey had fly to center Davenport has just lined a double in the left field.
Here's the two and O-Page. Curve ball, he pops it up right back behind the plate all post into our radio booth.
Ball two and strike one.
What a good indication of the caliber of pitching in this series. Two balls and no strikes. A curve ball strike.
The pitcher who can control something besides the fast ball when he's behind that hit or two nothing, three one, three O.
That's the good pitcher in Stanford. Two nothing in the spot here. Snapped over a curve ball strike.
The old taking the long look in on the two one pitch. Texas runner at second base. Here it is. Fast ball down low.
A ball three and a strike one count to the gun. Jose stepping out of the box for a moment checking with Whitey Lockman down at third base.
He wants to see if the hit sign is on for this three one pitch. And I would imagine it would be if it's to his liking.
Stafford ready. Here it is. He swings and hits a bouncing ball the second. Richardson over to Scowern in town for the out.
Davenport moves to third base. Jose Pagan going out second to first.
The Giants have a runner at third base. Two down on the batter will be Billy Pierce. There's Billy coming on a left handed batter.
There's no score in this ball game. Giants had three base runners. The Yankees had none so far.
Billy Pierce stepping in. Stafford into the wind up. The pitch curve ball. It's too high. One ball and a strike.
Yankee sending respect. Pierce is hitting a throw. Mickey Manley is playing in the right center field.
Shashi Showell in left field. They get Milano Roman left center. Usually they play straight away or out to the opposite field.
Here's the one and no pitch. A fly ball hit in the left center field. Trash racing over. He's there. Makes the catch.
Billy Pierce out on a fly ball in the left center field.
The Giants and the Suck-A-Nutting no runs on one hit. When a man left and the score at the end of the first half of the Suck-A-Nutting, the Giants, nothing. The Yankees, nothing.
There's my next car. You can afford that. That is a 63 valiant. A 63 valiant.
It's valiant for 63. All new outside. Trash clean. Easy to look at. The best all around comeback anybody's come up with yet.
All new inside too. Where nothing is very compact. Valiant thinks big. The way it seats you. The way it carries you. The roof line is thinner. You get larger door openings. A lot more headroom.
And you get excellent performance. Everything this little giant offers you is Chrysler engineered. Valiant does everything well. It's the best all around comeback anybody's come up with yet.
The best valiant. At your flim of valiant dealers now. See the 1963 valiant. A product of Chrysler Corporation.
Where quality and truth enter every cart.
Let's pause 30 seconds here for station identification.
This is WGY-810 on your dials connected. Is your beverage only half satisfying? Then ask yourself this question.
Are you mixing it the best?
Saratoga fishy with the Kale label. It outsells all the rest.
The genuine fishy with the Kale label.
Stay better tonight.
Be better tomorrow.
Saratoga with the Kale label.
Now we move to the bottom of a second inning. Mickey Mantle will be the leadoff man for the Yankees. He'll be followed by Roger Maris and then Elston Howard.
Billy Pears into the wind up and here's the first pitch. Ball. It's too low. One ball and no straight.
Mickey has one hit in the series and eight trips. A 125 batting average.
Batting right handed against the left hander. The one and no pitch. Down low. Ball two and no strikes.
Once I asked him George if he ever batted right handed against a right handed pitcher of ice versus just to see the curve ball break away from him occasionally.
He said only once and that was against Hoyt Wilhelm. Only to see the knuckle ball.
Thinking he would have better luck from that side than his regular left handed side.
There's a lot of right handed batters and problems telling him it breaks the same way.
Say that's a real advantage.
Here's the two and no pitch to Mickey. He swings and bounces it in the hole. The third base on Davenport can't take the play. It's not away from him.
Davenport went into the hole to get the bouncing ball on the short hop. It's not away from him and Mantle is safe in first base.
He's got to wait for a ruling on that. The score is an error against the fourth baseman. So Mantle in first base but no one out.
And the batter will be Roger Maris.
No home runs. He's had two runs batted in.
So the Yankees have their first base runner and the shift is on against Maris.
Billy Pierce delivers outside. One ball no strikes.
But God, Hiller and Sepeda are all on the right side of the infield.
Davenport is wide of the bracket third but he's playing in closer to than he did in San Francisco.
Pierce gets set.
Here's the one and no pitch. Ball is down low. Ball too and no strikes.
Looks like Davenport may be trying to protect against that curve ball to be hit off the end of the bat.
If Maris should hit the squibber, we'll have to see the unusual play of third baseman to shortstop to first.
Because Pagan is right near the bag at second base. Hiller has to protect that hole between first and second.
Billy gets ready. The two and no pitch. Ball is down low. A fast ball over the plate with two low.
Three and order. Roger Maris. Mickey Mantle at first base with no one out here in the second.
There's no score in the ball game.
Billy taking a little time right now.
Comes to a set position. Here's the three and no pitch.
The strike. He gets the fast ball right down the middle.
Rodgers taking all the way.
Needless to say in the outfield the giants are deep and far to the right.
Willie McCubbey is back on the warning track in deep right field.
Pierce gets set. Here's the three one pitch.
Strike two. A blazing fast ball over the plate as he needs.
Three and two to Maris.
We'll check Mickey Mantle at first base to see if he's moving on this pitch.
Matt Van Rond was barely catching.
Maris taking a good look across. He said he wants to know what's happening with Mantle.
You have to look for him to run.
Pierce gets a sign. Now he steps off bluffing Mickey back to first.
Mickey acted like he might have been moving on that pitch.
Pierce wanted to have a look at him just to get an idea. He gets ready again.
Here's the pitch. There's a foul ball hit the right field. McCubbey is there waiting for it.
On the warning track, Mantle is tagging up. He's headed towards second but he's going to hold on.
McCubbey makes the throw in the second base.
Roger Maris out on a high foul ball to Willie McCubbey in right field.
Probably two.
That's one away and the batter will be Elston Howard.
Got two. Probably two.
A scoreless foul game here in the bottom of the second inning.
The Yankees have a runner at first base with one down.
Howard's a right-handed batter. He's had two hits and three trips.
Now they did not play in the second game of the series.
Pierce delivers. There's a pop-up behind the plate. It may be out of play, it is.
Bailey coming back. He has no chance to get it.
A one strike count.
Howard hurt his wrist sliding into home plate in the first game.
He was forced out of action for the second one.
Everybody back on the infield but Zepeda who's holding against Mantle at first base.
Billy Pierce looking in.
A little left-hander gets set.
There's the one strike, bitch. He swings and fouls it back.
Strike two to Howard.
When Billy Pierce was in the American League, Howard had great success against him.
He was talking about it before the ball game.
He just wondered, George, what is really an advantage of having played against a fellow before?
Seems to me that every time it's bad, it's a new experience.
I think so, Joe. You know how the curves are going to break. I always liked it a little better.
Here's the pitch to Howard. He swings and hits the grab. He's still out.
The Lou going back, right back. He's got it. A one-handed catch.
Mickey Mantle is racing back to first base.
The Lou has just made a great play on Elton Howard.
As he raced all the way to the fair here in deep left field,
he's high in the air and spirited with a one-handed catch.
The ball was labeled home runner. Exhibition all the way.
Looks like it was one of those singers that Howard got on top of.
There was a two-strike no-ball house. He tried to get it up and in,
but did not get it in, got it up all right.
And now he really jumped on it. A tremendous play by El Lou.
Two down and the batter is Bill Scowron.
Pierce delivers. He's got swing and a miss.
He got the fastball by one strike, Miss Scowron.
Bill has been to the plate twice, looking for his first hit in the series.
Oh, Lou had trouble on the first ball hit to him.
A routine fly certainly had no trouble on this one as he made a great play.
They're having a problem getting the Lou back. They want to move him back.
Pierce gets set. The pitch. A swing and a miss.
He foul-tipped it. This man lands right into the mid of Ed Baleigh.
A strike two count to Bill Scowron.
There's no score in the ball game. We're in the bottom of the second inning.
Giants have one hit, one error. Yankees no hits, no errors.
Yankee Mannell open this inning. He was safe on an error.
He's still at first with two outs.
Maris fly deep to the right. Howard deep to the left.
Here's the pitch to Scowron. He swings and misses.
The ball around the knees and Scowron strikes out.
No runs, no hits, one error, one man left.
The score at the end of two, the Yankee's nothing, the Giants nothing.
Take a look at that, William. Hey, our 63 Valiant's a Valiant? Pretty classy.
The 1963 Valiant. Best all-around compact anybody's come up with yet.
It's a new Valiant, a roomier Valiant.
The Valiant station wagon, for example, has more kid and cargo space than ever before.
Plus these famous features, Torsion AIR eyes, unibody construction, the battery saving alternator.
And that's just three of 27 features your Plymouth Valiant dealer's waiting to show you in the new Valiant station wagon.
Some compacts are good at economy, some performance, some luxury.
But Valiant does everything well. It's the best compact anybody's come up with yet.
The 1963 Valiant, a product of Chrysler Corporation.
We're quality, engine here, into every car.
Well, a Lou the leadoff man.
Well, the Giants here in a third inning and he's getting a big round of applause as he steps in.
Believe so for one, he lined a mantle in center field back in the first inning.
A scoreless ball game as we move into the top of the third inning.
Bill Stafford against Billy Pierce here this afternoon.
Here's the pitch to a Lou.
Last ball, he got it over. One strike.
Tomorrow, right here, it'll be Whitey Ford for the Yankees and Moan Marachel pitching for the Giants.
Here's the pitch. Curve ball, he fouls it back.
It's when the Alston Howard on the arm and rolls away.
A strike two count.
A Lou, Hiller and Mays will be the Giants batters here in the third inning.
The Giants have had three base runners in the ball game.
Two walks and a double. The Yankees have had one base runner.
Mamel was safe on an error.
Here's the two strike pitch. Curve ball, he pops it up.
It may be out of play, it is. Howard's starting back, but he stopped.
Still two strikes to Fully Follou.
The lights have been turned on here at Yankee Stadium.
The sun is still shining, it's a cloudy overcast day with the sun popping in and out.
The umpires have ordered the lights to be turned on, starting the third inning.
Stafford into the windup, delivers a curve, he pops it up again over near the dugout.
This one behind the dugout, about two rows.
Stafford hitting the corner with a good curve ball, keeping a Lou off stride.
Stan Lambert's tossing a new baseball out to Stafford.
He didn't like that one, he tossed it back and he gets another one.
We'll be at Yankee Stadium today, tomorrow and Tuesday.
If further games are needed, we'll be back in San Francisco on Thursday and Friday if necessary.
Here's another foul ball that will be out of play.
This one's going to land in the upper deck by in first base.
A two-strike count to Philippe Alou.
Philippe right down on the end of the bat, waiting on Stafford.
Here's the pitch, curve ball, he hits it hard to third,
Boyer has it to throw to first, he's out.
Alou goes out, Boyer to Bill Scowren.
That's one away, and the batter will be Chuck Hiller.
Chuck drill walk his first time at bat.
The Pan-editing second baseman's had two hits in a series and seven trips.
It was a double by Hiller that picked up the first run against Ralph Terry in the second game.
Hiller double, moved to third on a sacrifice and scored on a ground ball.
Takes a fast ball outside, one ball, no strikes.
Boyer's in close at third, everybody else back on the infield.
One ball, no strikes.
Here's the pitch, he swings and fouls it off down the left field line.
This one going into the upper deck.
One and one to Chuck Hiller.
West Westrom is coaching at first base for the Giants and Whitey Lockman, coaching at third base.
A capacity turn out here in Yankee Stadium.
Here's the one one pitch, curve ball, he swings and misses.
One ball, two strikes.
Another good curve Joe and he's getting them over.
And he's starting to let up a little bit on his curve ball which is the same as having another pitch.
He's on a quick breaker, dive bomber type and he's letting up on his curve ball and Hiller was way out in front.
Even if he hit that ball he wouldn't have driven it anywhere.
Chuck chokes about a little more with two strikes on him just to protect the plate.
Here's the one two pitch, curve ball, he bounces and fouls down the first base line.
Same curve that he swung and missed on the pitch before.
Chuck got out in front and pulled this one foul.
One ball, two strikes.
Stafford is very effective when he's able to get the curve ball over.
When he can't get it over he's in a bit of trouble.
Today he's been getting it over.
He's usually in the clubhouse early.
Here's the one two pitch, change of pace down low.
This one a little bit too low and Stafford thought he had him.
A ball two and a strike two count.
Bill looking in to Elston Howard to get the sign.
Here's the two two pitch.
Ball, it's a high check to swing.
Three and two to Hiller.
Here's Alu and Hiller both, they've made Stafford work, they've made him use a lot of pitches which could be a telling factor in the late-ness ball game.
Chuck standing in waiting on Stafford.
Bill in to the wind up, the three two pitch.
He swings and fouls it off down the left field line.
Boyer is chasing it but he has no chance to get it.
Still three and two.
Alu used up seven pitches, this is the sixth one for Hiller.
How many times do you see a fellow go out there and make three pitches and get out of it and go back into the doubt but Stafford is up there with the three two count on Hiller now after that really having to work against Alu.
Well he has a cool cloudy afternoon.
The sun is in behind the clouds right now so the heat should not be a problem to him.
But he has thrown a lot of pitches here in the first three innings.
Here's a three two pitch.
Strike three call.
He got the fast ball over and Hiller is called out on strikes.
Let's shoot down and the batter will be Willie Mays.
Willie popped to the shortstop his first time at that, checked his swing on a curve ball and popped it up.
There's no score, we're on the top of the third innings two outs, no one on.
Willie Mays a strong right handed batter.
Here's the first pitch, fast ball and tight.
One ball on strikes.
Stafford looking to his third baseman Boyer to see if he's playing about where he wants him.
Here's a bench, a ground ball hit to the shortstop he's going to have to hurry the long throw he is out.
Give back.
One over to Bill Starran in time to get Willie Mays.
Now runs no hits, no errors, no one left on the score at the end of the first half of third inning.
The giants nothing, the Yankees nothing.
Hey see that new valiant?
Nice.
Yeah looks like a real winner.
1963 valiant, messed all around compact anybody's come up with yet.
Some compacts have economy, some performance, but only the new 63 valiant does everything well.
Valiant features small details such as floor mats of reinforced rubber for protection against spike heat.
And valiant features big details, the battery saving alternator, torsion air eye, large door openings and spacious headroom.
You'll want to take a good look at valiant this year.
It's the best all around compact anybody's come up with yet.
And your Plymouth valiant dealer, the 1963 valiant, a product of Chrysler Corporation.
We're quality engineers into every car.
Now we go to the bottom of the third inning, no score in the ballgame.
Cleat warrior will lead off for the Yankees, and be followed by Stafford and then Tony Cubak.
The Yankees have had but one base runner against Billy Pierce.
That was Mickey Minal safe on an error leading off in the second inning.
The lead by Laird on the end of first base as Billy retired the next three batters.
Warriors had two hits and six trips for a 333 batting average.
He swings and pops it up into center field.
He's moving and moves back a couple of steps that he makes against.
Cleat warrior swinging on the first pitch, flies to center.
It's one away and the batter will be Bill Stafford.
There's Bill coming on, nice round of applause, he steps in.
He's going up with one hit.
He's a double to Devon for it down the left field line.
This is Stafford can swing that bat, another one ball game we had where Ralph Harkin put a hit run play on.
Here's the first pitch, he swings and fows it back.
Pierce coming in with a curve ball around the knees.
A one strike cut.
One out with no one on, we're in the bottom of the third inning, there's no score in the ballgame.
Billy Pierce gets ready, here's the one strike pitch.
Once it is fouled on the third base line.
Stafford catching the third baseman, Davenport playing back a couple of steps once it fouled.
So Billy Pierce is out in front with a strike two cut.
To Maure the Yankees will come back with their great left-hander, Whitey Ford.
And Alvin Dark will send Maureen Merischal his big right-hander to the mound.
Here's the two strike pitch.
He's got it.
Bill Stafford is on a line right straight to Willie Mays in center field.
George is talking about Whitey Ford, some fan with a great sense of humor, sending him a telegram and the message was,
why don't you pitch every day and just find it Willie?
Well, I think he's going to be a great player.
And just find it Willie.
Tony Cuback the batter.
Tony sent a fly ball to their left field his first time at bat.
Pierce delivers a slow curve, it's inside. One ball and a strike.
A scoreless ball game in the bottom of a third inning, two outs with no one on.
Here's the one in no pitch.
A strike.
A small coming in around the knees.
One and one to Cuback.
Billy Pierce working quickly, delivers.
There's a fly ball down the left field and Alou going over near the fence.
This is against the fence, he can't get in.
Here's Cuback on his way to second.
He'll go in with a double.
Alou went over, he seemed to be there, then he shied away from the fence.
The ball hit the corner of the fence and bound it back five.
It's been one of those Halloween afternoons for Alou so far.
He's made it tremendous play in this ball game, but here was the case where you could see him flip the glasses,
look for the fence, look for the ball.
The sun has been in, it's been out.
Right now it's out, the lights are on and it's been a little bit of a job playing left field.
We've seen some great left fielders, Joe, have trouble here in Yankee Stadium.
It's always been a problem.
I'll tell you, I think some left fielders play left field in Yankee Stadium
when the game's over they wish they'd gone to that condition school.
Bobby Richardson the batter, a runner at Saka with two down and a third inning,
no score in the ball game.
The Yankees with their first threat against Billy Pierce.
Bobby sent a fly ball to right field his first time at bat.
Here's the first pitch, it's too low.
George I just kept my eyes on Philippe Alou in left field and before Pierce made the pitch
he had the glasses down and up four different times and looking up.
He may move back to right field next inning and turn it over to whoever wants it.
Billy gets set, here's the one and no pitch.
Here's a line drive straight to the first place.
Bobby Richardson's lined the ball hard, right straight to the play to it first place.
Now runs on one hit, there's been a whereas one man left and the score at the end of three.
The Giants nothing, the Yankees nothing.
Have you heard about the automobile industry's first five year or 50,000 mile warranty?
Five years? 50,000 miles?
That's right, it's the warranty now offered on 1963 Chrysler Corporation cars.
What does it cover?
It covers the powertrain of your car, the expensive parts to repair or replace.
Sounds terrific.
It's the most significant warranty ever offered on an automobile.
Your dealer will be glad to explain his new warranty another first from Chrysler Corporation.
Stay tuned for details later in this game.
At the end of three no runs, one hit, one error for the Giants.
No runs on one hit and no errors for the Yankees.
The Giants have had a base runner to third base and the Yankees have had one down to second.
Willie McCovey will be the lead off man for San Francisco here in the fourth inning.
He'll be followed by Sepeda and then Ed Bailey.
Willie taking a little time just now coming out of the dugout on his way up to home plate.
Willie walked his first time at VAT.
George is swinging at VAT and his regular VAT, I just wonder how he knows the difference between the two of them.
Well he's got some weapon up there, it's a 35 inch, 35 ounce, big thick handle VAT and he really whips it.
He has a very inviting target out in right field, 296 down the line, only 344 right behind where Roger Merris is playing.
Here's Stafford's first pitch, a fastball at the knees, one strike.
McCovey has had one hit in four trips in a series, that was a tremendous home run out at Candlestick Park.
Stafford into the windup, delivers another fastball, it's inside, one ball, one strike.
They don't over shift on McCovey but it's as close as you can get without over shifting.
Q-Bag here, two steps from the bag, Richardson way back at Second base and Scowern drives that line.
Here's the one one pitch, curve ball, it's in there, one ball, two strikes.
Q-Bag is almost behind the pitcher, now we used to shift against Williams Joe and I remember one day,
Johnny LaPon got right behind the pitcher and Trout was pitching, he says they don't need playing behind me,
he says I'll take everything he hit through here and LaPon says I'm not sure you will if he hits it hard.
Here's the one two pitch, fastball, it's in there, McCovey is called out on strikes,
Bill Stafford plays the fastball right down the middle and Willie was caught looking.
It's one away and the batter will be Orlando Sapeta.
Sapeta is 0-4-1, he bounced to Bobby Richardson his first down at bat.
Orlando a strong right-handed batter.
Here's the pitch, ball, it's too low, one ball, no strikes.
We're in the top of the fourth inning, one out with no one on, there's no score in the ballgame.
Stafford against Billy Pierce here today.
The one and oh pitch, he swings and fouls it off, this one coming back in the upper deck.
One ball, one strike.
Sapeta batting in the first inning with two on, drove one deep into the stands and left field
at just curved foul at the last moment and Stafford got him to hit a bouncing ball the second base.
Here's the one one pitch, curved ball, he bounces it to third, Boyer has it back of the bag,
the long throw is up, man he's safe.
Boyer had a long throw to make to scour and he pulled him off the bag and Sapeta is safe at first base.
It'll be an error charged against Boyer.
The Giants have a runner at first base with one out and the batter will be the catcher, Ed Bailey.
Ed's on a foul ball to Mowell in center field this first time at bat.
Ed's a left handed batter.
Stafford chips his runner, here's the pitch, curved ball, it's too high.
One ball and no strikes.
Willie McCovey started this inning, he was called out on strikes.
So, Peta just bounced to Boyer and he was safe when Boyer's throw was up high.
Here's the one and no pitch to Bailey, he swings and misses.
One ball, one strike.
Yankees have pulled far to the right for Bailey, they're playing him as a pull hitter all the way.
Stafford taking a little time as he looks in, checks his runner, here's the one and one pitch.
Ball outside a slow curve just off the corner, ball two and strike one.
Each team with one hit.
Chewbacke has a double to left field for the Yankees and Davenport a double to left for the Giants.
Each team has made one error, Davenport for the Giants and Boyer for the Yankees.
It's Bailey standing in with a ball two and a strike one count.
Stafford gets set, here's a quick throw to first, Peta back in time.
No score, we're in the fourth inning.
Here's the pitch, he swings and hits a slow ground ball to Chewbacke, he flips it over to Richardson, one out, back to first he's safe.
The ball was not hit hard, right off the end of the bat, Chewbacke flipped it over to Richardson while the force out on Peta and the relay back to Scowron not in time to get Bailey.
So he gets safe on the field, there's choice, with two down, the batter will be Jim Davenport.
That's a better, a big guy but he can run and he got in on top of Bobby Richardson and Bobby had to take that extra step towards the base and get away in order to get the throw off the first base.
Here's the pitch to Davenport, strike the fast ball coming in at the knees.
Jimmy lined a double into the corner and left field his first time at bat.
Stafford ready, the pitch, curve ball, he hits it into the air in the shallow left field, Tommy Trash is coming in, he's got it to the side's return.
Jim Davenport flying the trash in left field, no runs, no hits, one error, one man left and the score at the end of the first half of the fourth inning, the giants, nothing, the Yankees, nothing.

Well in the bottom of the fourth inning Tom Tresh will lead off for the Yankees. We followed by Mickey Mantle and then Roger Maris.
It's a scoreless ball game as we go into the bottom of the fourth inning, each team with one hit.
Tresh was a strikeout victim his first time at that, that was back in the first inning.
He can punch that ball George.
A good runner, Joe you're right. The pitch is down low, one ball and a strike.
Foul tips as Landis, he checked his swing on a low pitch and Landis said he foul tipped it so it'll be one strike.
He went to the wind up, the pitch, he swings and pops it foul, this will be out of play back in the upper deck.
Two strikes to Tresh.
Tom he's been to the plate, nine times he's had three hits.
A capacity turnout here at Yankee Stadium in New York.
Billy Pierce gets ready, here's the two strike count.
A high fly ball hits the center field, Willie Mays is coming in, waiting on it.
He's got it, there's one away.
Tommy Tresh flying the maze in center field.
Joe if they didn't have the World Series here at Yankee Stadium, some of these people wouldn't know where to go during World Series time.
Isn't that right?
Mickey Mantle the batter, he was safe on an error his first time at bat.
He was sitting right in front of the turnout in San Francisco where the foul went wild.
He said it was pretty much the same way in New York, I said about 18-20 people out there.
He said mostly the family, the wives.
Every October it's schedule here.
Pierce gets ready, the pitch to Mantle.
He swings, there's a line around to left, Alou going back, he's there and he makes the catch.
Mickey Mantle hits one hard, straight to Alou in left field.
Willie moving back a couple of steps, made the catch.
Now there's two outs, the batter is Maris.
George they haven't been able to get under there, Pierce.
The line guards that have been hit hard, they seem to hit over the ball.
The ball hits the Howard hit, the ball hits the now hit.
Even though it carries as far as it does, it's sinking.
They haven't been able to really get under it and give it that lift.
Maris on a foul ball to McCovey his first time at bat.
The Rodgers had two hits on the series and eight trips.
Two outs were going on here in the fourth inning, a scoreless ball game.
Billy Pierce delivers a curve around the knees, one strike to Maris.
Both pitchers have thrown a lot of curveballs here this afternoon.
Billy taking a little time as he looks in.
Here's the pitch, another curve, it's down low, one ball, one strike.
The Giants are shifting against Maris once again, three infielders on the right side of the infield.
Here's the one one pitch, he swings and misses, he's got the fast ball by it.
One ball, two strikes.
Roger hit a towering foul ball, the right field his first time at bat.
Willie McCovey moving right back to the fence to make the catch.
Here's the one two pitch, a foul ball back in the press box, still one and two.
No score, we're in the bottom of the fourth inning, another pitchers duo.
We've had some fine pitching in the swirl series.
Here's ready, the one two pitch, curveball, he bounces it down the first baseline,
Sepeda picks it up, the race to the bag, he's out.
Roger Maris bounces to the first baseman, Orlando Sepeda.
Now runs, no hits, no arrows, no unlapped, then the fourth, the in the fourth,
the Giants nothing and the Yankees nothing.
Here are more details on the new warranty described earlier in this game.
The new five year or 50,000 mile warranty on 1963 Chrysler Corporation cars.
This is the most important warranty ever offered on an automobile.
It covers the powertrain, the workhorse of your car, the expensive parts to repair or replace.
And the warranty is transferable if you sell the car.
See your dealer for full details on the industry's first five year or 50,000 mile warranty from Chrysler Corporation.
Let's pause 30 seconds here for a station identification.
WGY is connectivity.
You know it takes a special something extra to be a Major League Baseball player or anything else that rates as the very best.
Take Saratoga Vichy for instance.
Saratoga is naturally good, naturally lively, spring fresh flavor adds that extra snap and extra sparkle to every drink.
In fact, Saratoga Vichy has such extra tattelizing flavor, it's delicious all by itself.
Next time you get that great big thirst, enjoy the extra satisfaction you get only from Saratoga Vichy with the yellow label.
Well, we go into the top of the fifth inning, there's no score in the ballgame.
Jose Pagan will lead off for the Giants. He'll be followed by Billy Pierce and then Philippe Ballou.
The guy comes up like this, this will make that third base and get up on his toes, huh?
Joe, you don't have to remind me, I've played in close for a lot of these guys but they don't all but.
Once in a while they swing away at you.
Pagan, bounce the second base his first time at bat, takes a pitch inside, one ball or strikes.
This little fellow beat out a punt on Whitey 4 to drove in the first giant run in the series, this is in the first ballgame.
Stafford ready, there's the one at home, he swings and pops it up behind the plate, here's Howard coming back, he might have the room on it, he does, he makes the go.
Jose Pagan, fouls to the catcher Elston Howard.
I used to always like to look on the infielders face, you'd be catching on to Pagan, somebody come up, you know it's going to be funny, so you say come on in, be alive for the punt,
they'd go in about 4 steps and he'd slash 1-5 and you guys would get so mad and all he was trying to do was remind you, just come on in, we just don't want you to lay back.
Joe, I'm just glad I don't have to go through that anymore.
Here's Billy Pierce, he's on a foul ball in the left field his first time at bat.
Billy a left handed batter, Stafford delivers a curve, it's in there, one strike, you know the worst part about it, you call for those slow curves when you call the third baseman in, it's the good lad fastball.
Stafford delivers another curve, it's outside, one ball, one strike.
Billy Pierce the batter with one out and no one on and the fifth inning, no score in the ball game, Stafford into the wind up, the pitch, he swings and fouls it off,
this one's going into the upper deck behind third base, one ball, two strikes.
Billy's not a bad hitter and as Joe told you a few moments ago, the Yankees showing a lot of respect for his hitting ability as Mantle plays him to pull just a little bit.
Of course one reason they're probably going to pitch him a lot of curve ball, they figure he'll pull that more than he will the fastball.
Here's the one to pitch, down low he chucked his swing in time, Landis looking down to first base to Jim Hanichic, you see it, Billy had gone through the swing and Hanichic giving no sign, so it's a ball two and a strike two count.
Boyer continues to play in close at third even with two strikes on Pierce.
Here's the two to pitch, strike three called, he got the fastball over and Billy Pierce is called out on strike.
Three strikeouts for Stafford.
Happy enough to George, all of them called third strike, so Nelson Howard doing a pretty job at them, mixing up the pitches, like both pitches when you talk about them to their catchers they'll say they won't give it a same pitch twice, in and out, up and down, take a little off, a little off.
Here's the pitch to Alou, he swings and fouls it back, this one's going to be out of play, it's coming back into the lower deck.
One strike to Khalif Alou, Alou lying to center field his first time at bat, and the third inning he bounced to the third baseman Boyer.
Here's the pitch, high fly ball hit the right field, Roger Maris moving in, caps under it, he's waiting, makes the catch on the side return.
Now runs no hits, no arrows, no one left on the score at the end of the first half of the fifth inning, the Giants nothing, the Yankees nothing.
Well the first half of today's game was brought to you by the Chrysler Corporation, the second half of this game is being brought to you by the Gillette Safety Razor Company.
Well big Don Larson pitched in the first game of this series and he'll be on there again, the last time that Don pitched here in Yankee Stadium in a series was in 1956 and he was a hero.
He pitched the only perfect game in series history, not a man, reach base. The other day he was thinking about something else, let's listen.
There is nothing like a refreshing Gillette shave to pick you up and when you use these great super blue blades, it's so easy you just can't believe it.

Here's Elston Howard to lead off of the Yankees in the fifth inning.
Ellie lined deep to left field his first time at battle. Lew made a great play on him. Pierce delivers ball, it's down low.
One ball and no strikes.
Right handed batter against a left handed pitcher.
Of a scoreless ball game here in the bottom of the fifth inning, only two hits today, one by each team.
Q-Back has a double for the Yankees, Jim Davenport a double for the Giants.
Howard waiting on Pierce.
Here's the one and no pitch. A swing and a ground ball in the left field right down the line, it may be extra bases. Here's Howard on his way to second to throw coming in, not in time.
Elston Howard hit a blue blazer over the bag at third base into the corner in left field and the Yankees have a runner in second base with no one out.
The batter will be Bill Scowren. The moose struck out his first time at bat.
This is the first real threat against Billy Pierce. Yankees earlier had a runner in second base with two outs.
Billy taking a little time as he looks in. Here's the pitch. Wall in tight, one ball no strikes.
Scowren, Jack, you can in behind Howard trying to cut down his lead a bit. Scowren can hit all over, there's really no way to play a moose.
He's placed that ball all over the ball, but you kind of just have to play deep and plan them out.
Billy gets set again. Here's the one and no pitch. Striking up the fast ball over the inside corner.
Joe Billy will be trying to pitch him in tight, trying to make him pull the ball as he doesn't want him to hit it on the ground on the right side and move Howard over to third base with one out.
Of course, moose, as you said, hits all over. He hits that inside pitch to right field. One ball, one strike. Billy checks his runner. Here's the pitch.
He swings it, lands it into the ground, and Howard, it's going to be a double play.
Scowren hit one like a bullet. Davenport lead high into the air, speared the ball and fired it down to Hiller to double off Elston Howard.
That one looked like he was going into the corner for extra bases. A great play by Davenport. There's two outs, and the batter will be Fleet Boyer.
Fleet fly to center field his first time. Slow curve, here's a fly to center. Will he going back? Still going back. Way back in center he's got it.
Warrior flying deep to center field. Off of the Yankees, no runs, one hit, no errors, no one left. And the score at the end of five, the Yankees, nothing, the Giants, nothing.
Right now you can bet manager Ralph Hough is pondering several weighted decisions, and if he makes them the way he's been doing it all season, chances are they'll be right.
One thing he can always be sure of is the right way to shave. With him it's Gillette's Super Blue Blades in the adjustable razor. The newest adjustable is the Slim.
Now it's lighter for easier handling, longer for better balance, and it comes with a dispenser of Super Blue Blades and a 79 cent can of foamy Gillette's own instant lather, as this year's World Series Special.

So Gillette was quite a play by Mr. Davenport.
Yes, sir. He's been making plays like that all year for these giants, Nick named him, and he passed his glove in the west with the hang on him.
I'd say it was interesting to watch the battle between Pearson and Starlin trying to keep Starlin from hitting the ball the right side where the ground ball would move, and I went over to third base.
This was moving in and out, and he jammed him twice, and then got a ball to the outside part of the plate, and to show you the power that a Starlin has, he actually broke his back on the line drive that he hit at Davenport as he went out to get the breaking ball and moved it.
Davenport with those quick hands made the play, and so far the defensive plays, George has been all on the side of the giants. They've come up with some beauties, one by Davenport and one by Alu in the second inning of Elston Howard.
Well, here's Chuck Heller to lead off for the giants in the sixth inning, followed by Mays and then Willie McCovey. A scoreless ball game here at the top of the sixth. Stafford delivers a pass. One ball, no strikes.
Heller a left handed batter, he walked in the first inning, stuff got in the third. He's the one at Oakwich. He swings and sends a fly ball to right field. Maris is drifting back near the ball bin, he's there, makes the catch. One step from the pass.
The wind is a big plant and the players are blowing towards the right field. You can see that Heller was not known as a home run hitter, he's got plenty of wood on the ball and back man is right up against that wall.
Oh, there's one away and here's Willie Mays. Willie has popped to the short stop and grounded in the third to stop and two drips.
Bill Stafford looking at, here's the pitch to Mays, he swings and fouls it off so he ought to play. One strike. Joe, did you hear the roar that went up here in the stadium when Scowern lined into the double play?
It gives you an idea of how many giant fans are in this ballpark. All over town you can hear them and it's a tribute not only, there's only, well, a couple ballpins that you can say that about.
Everybody kept talking about Willie's coming back and everybody seemed to know who they were talking about. It's like when they say, the man, you know, you're talking about a muse, when they talk about Willie's coming back, these giant fans, they're talking about only one guy.
Here's the one strike, bitch, a curve ball that's in there. Strike two to Mays. Willie stepped back, the curve broke over the plate. A strike two cop.
I think he was guessing a little bit, George.
He might have been on that one, Joe, but if he ever guesses right, you've got a new ball game. Here's the pitch, a curve outside. One ball, two strikes.
A few ballpins, they'll say they guess, they all look for pitches. When you ask them to define what's the difference between looking for a pitch and guessing, it really gets down to a fine line. Henry Allen's got the best answer. Henry says he's asking me guesses, he says, no, he looks. He says, well, what do you look for? He says, well, I look for the pitcher to throw it.
Stafford ready. Here's the one, two, bitch. Curve ball, he's falling out on strikes.
Silly Mays taking the curve over the outside corner was called out on strikes. He didn't like the call on that one. He whirled back to land us.
Elston Howard thought it was freehouse. He had gone back towards the dugout. His head reminded him there's only two down. And the batter will be Willie McCovey.
McCovey walked in the first inning, was called out on strikes in the port.
Four strikeouts for Stafford and they've all been called strikes.
Big left handed batter standing in against Stafford. The bitch, ball down low. One ball, no strikes.
No score, we're in the sixth inning. Stafford against Bill Pierce here this afternoon. Here's the bitch.
Five pop-blah behind shortstop. Cuback is going out. Trash coming in. This one's hit a mile high. He's got it. Cummy Trash.
No runs, no hits, no errors, no one left. The score at the end of the first half of sixth inning. The giants, nothing in the Yankees, nothing.

Well, we move along into the bottom of the sixth inning. A scoreless ball game here at Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees have had two hits in this game. The Chains have had one.
A big round of applause for Bill Stafford as he comes on to lead off to the Yankees from the bottom of the sixth.
We've Stafford, Quebec and Bobby Richardson.
Tremendous pitching we've had throughout this entire series.
Mighty Ford, the winner in the first game. Bill's Jack Samford, the winner.
In the second game of the day, it's Bill, Ferris and Bill Stafford.
Ferris is warning them of Ford to be alive for a part with the Stafford up there.
Ready to go in the first pitch. He swings and misses on a low fastball. One strike.
Bill hit the ball hard his first time at bat. He lined his straight to maze and center field.
Bill appears looking in. Here's the pitch. Down low. One ball, one strike.
The Yankees threaten in the fifth. Howard let off with a double but Scowern lined into a vicious double play.
Here's the pitch. Down low. One ball, one strike.
The Yankees threaten in the fifth. Howard let off with a double but Scowern lined into a vicious double play.
Here's the pitch. The right two he tried to check his swing but he'd fallen too far.
One ball, two strikes. Scowern's hard line drive was taken by Davenport on a leap at third base
and fired it down the hill in time to double off power.
The warrior had applied very deep into center field.
One ball, two strikes to Stafford. Here's gets ready. The pitch. He struck him out.
Through the fast ball by Evan Stafford goes down swinging.
It's one away and the batter will be Q-Back.
The Giants have no runs on one hit in this game. One error. The Yankees have no runs on two hits and they've made one error.
Billy goes into the lineup. He swings and pops it up on the infield.
By God his near second base waiting on it. He's got it. There's two outs.
Tony Q-Back pops to the shark stop.
He'll bring up Bobby Richardson, the second baseman.
Bobby fly to right field in the first inning and the third inning he lined to the first baseman with the runner at second.
Bobby had a single his first time in bat in this world series and that's been his only hit so far.
Here's the bench. He swings and hits a hard ground at a shark.
Here's the third of first. He's out.
Richardson goes out.
He's a fader.
No runs, no hits, no run left.
Then the score at the end of six. The Giants nothing and the Yankees nothing.
How did you know that Gillette's Super Blue blades are made by an exclusive process that engineers call a scientific breakthrough?
Super Blue edges are mirror finished so key so smooth they glide through the toughest beards like nothing.
A dispenser is included with a new streamlined Gillette Slim adjustable razor and right now as a Gillette World Series Special
you get both razor and blades with a 79 cent can of foamy instant leather.
It's a 229 value and it's yours right now for only a dollar and ninety five.
You save 34 cents.
He is shut out by Stanford for the two nothing win and here is Billy Pierce having shut out these Yankees at six innings.
So fifteen straight score of innings and that seems like just a bit on the unusual.
A little bit Joe.
Here's the fader to lead off for the Giants in the seventh inning.
The first bench he's checked his swing.
Nope, as long as he went through it.
One strike through the fader.
He'll be followed by Bailey and then Davenport.
Orlando bounced the second in the first inning he was safe on an error in the fourth inning.
Stafford delivers a change up he lands it down the left field line it's curving foul back into the crowd.
A strike two counts.
The Giants had two runners on in the first inning failed to score.
Had a runner at third base with two outs in the second and failed to score.
Yankees have not had a runner pass second base.
Here's the pitch curve ball he pops it up right out in front of the plate.
Who's gonna make the play Howard is there the pitchers calling and Howard makes the catch.
Boy Stafford was off the mound Joe he was ready to make a play on it.
He was Howard and now I'll take it out take it but look why the boy of me has said something.
You certainly don't want your picture to make the play unless it's absolutely necessary and usually it's the picture who turns to be the cheerleader
and kind of dies to play and calls for the popper man but Elston Howard took joins in the pop fly and they made the play.
Head Bailey the batter.
Head's 0-2 in this game Stafford delivers a curve it's outside one ball no strikes.
Paul Richards used to say Joe what I played for him I don't want any balls dropping out there without anybody touching him.
I don't care if three infielders run together and two get knocked out and two spike but I don't want anybody shying away from letting them fall.
You should have seen the rush for five balls on that infield especially an old man like me playing with those kids they come charging in there like there's no tomorrow.
One strike count a one ball count to it Bailey left handed batter.
Here's the pitch outside ball two and no strikes.
We're in the top of the seventh inning there's one out with no one on there's no score in the ball game.
You will know judge you have a lot of wild things on those pop flies I used to like strickling whenever the pop fly go up you hear the other infielders.
I got it I got it strickling always get alongside and say nah you got it let me see you catch it.
Somebody said why don't you say I'll try it I'll try this one.
Here's the two and no pitch down low three at O at a Bailey.
The fastball too low. Did you notice in a matter of your career the influx of the proper English.
I have it.
Right.
At Bailey standing in with a ball three and a no strike count.
Stopper ready.
Here's the pitch he swings on the three and no pitch and pops it up down the third baseline.
For your is calling for this one makes the catch and there's two outs.
Little dark gambling a little bit there at Bailey swinging away on the three and no pitch and he popped it up.
Two down and the battle will be Jim Davenport.
Jimmy's had a double in two trips today.
No one on we're in the seventh inning no score in the game.
Here's a swing and a miss on a fastball one strike.
Stafford ready.
The pitch strike to cut the outside corner.
Two strikes to Davenport.
Bill Stafford and Billy Pierce matching pitch for pitch here this afternoon in the third game of this 1962 World Series.
Stafford checking the sign with Elston Howard.
Here's the pitch.
First down in left.
his career and Willie makes everything look so easy.
No wonder he goes for the Gillette way of shaving.
Easy does it for the Gillette razor,
especially the new Gillette slim
and improves green line version
of the famous Gillette adjustable.
It has Gillette's exclusive precision dial
with nine different blade settings
and one is exactly right for you.
This new slim is lighter, longer and it's primer
for those hard to reach shaving areas.
Try it with easy shaving Gillette Super Blue blades.
It's made by a process that's Gillette's alone.
Super blue edges are so keen and smooth
you might think there was no blade in the razor at all.
Right now you get both razor and blades
on the Gillette World Series Special
along with a 79 cent can of Gillette
homey instant ladder at a 34 cent savings.
It's a 229 value and it's yours for only $1.95.
Well as we go into the bottom of the seventh inning,
the Giants have no runs on one hit, they've made one error.
And the Yankees have no runs on two hits
and they've made one error.
I had my eye on the Giants at the top
and as the inning starts,
Mary Jansen, the pitching coach is motioned to the bullpen
to get somebody up.
The charade that he played looked like he motioned
to put down license to get up.
The reason they're bringing it up is that Billy Fiers may have
said something like watch me closely, I may be kind,
but in any way the Giants have action in the bullpen.
Here's Tommy Trish to lead off for the Yankees
in the bottom of the seventh.
He swings and lands it in the center field.
Mays can't get any of blade on the first top.
Tommy Trish, rifle run up the middle of the center.
Willie Mays came racing in and he pulled up short
and played it on the first top.
He gets number three, play any piece of it.
The runner in first place with no one out.
And the batter will be Mickey Mantle
and that falls for a conference out of the mound.
Ed Bailey moving out to say something appears.
One of the big things I'm sure they're talking about is
who will be clubbing second base in the event that the ball
is hit back to Billy Fiers.
You might have doubt that Mantle would be funny
in this situation.
Billy Mays is checking with this to see how he's feeling.
A lot of times a pitcher will be playing
that when he comes in that his arm may be tightened
or watched me and then of course it's up to the catcher
to help his manager by stinging to the fence
and maybe has lost it.
Joe this big fella probably will be sacrificing it all
but he can punt and he runs well
so you can't play deep in third base.
You've got to be alive for the punt for a base hit.
So Davenport has a tough decision to make here
and he'll be playing in about halfway against Mantle
which gives Mickey a better chance to slam one by him
and nobody hits the ball any harder down at third base line
than Mantle.
Mickey steps out just as Billy Fiers gets ready.
Lamb is calling time until Mickey gets back in.
Now we're ready.
Here's the pitch.
Ball outside.
Fiers trying to keep the fast ball away from him.
One ball and no strikes.
He gave it an indication he wouldn't be pointing
if anything drives up on the pitch.
He's got his eye on his left field seat still.
Fiers checks his runner in first base.
Here's the pitch.
Down low.
A ball too and a no strike count.
Billy Fiers thought that one was in there.
He delivered the fast ball over the plate
but too low to stand lambess.
So it's a ball too and a no strike count.
He's got his eye on his left field seat still.
Fiers checks his runner in first base.
Here's the pitch.
Fiers gets ready again.
Here's the two and no pitch.
Mickey swings at the foul ball down the right field line.
It's curving foul.
This will be out of play.
Ball two and strike one.
He's got a cinch question.
Third situation that the is able to hit the ball
in the right field.
If he's in any way there to the line,
George Tresh will be able to score
because McCabe is way over in right center field.
They're playing man over right field.
They're playing man over right center
towards the left field line.
You know Joe, it's a wonderful thing to have a ball player
that can hit a ball a mile and still run like a deer.
You don't see many of those guys that hit the long ball
and they're fast. You can't double them up.
Man was a tough man to double up.
Here's the two one pitch.
He swings and lines it into left field.
This one's in there.
Fiers is going to hit the third.
He's going to be close. He is safe at third base.
Madelow goes down in the second.
Mickey Madel lined the ball in the left field.
Alou played it on the first hop.
It took a high hop.
He's got a good lead in his glove.
Fries had stopped at second base.
When Alou juggled the ball in his glove,
Tommy raced into third ahead of the throw by Alou.
And Madelow goes down to second.
It'll be an error charged against Alou.
Or juggling the ball.
It'll be a single for Madel.
An error on Alou.
And the Yankees will have runners at second and third
with no one out.
Al Dark, Joe, has moved out to the mound now
for a conference with Billy Fiers.
He's had a man warming up
for the first time in his life.
A base running of Thresh.
He's a base running as he
actually stopped at second base.
And then Alou all over the ball took a little bit of a bad hop.
It was a daring piece of base running
because Alou had recovered by the time Thresh started for third.
So it was just more or less daring him to throw him out.
And his throw to third was a little bit off target.
Which gave Thresh a chance to go in.
And Madelow, of course, racing down to second
on the throw to third.
So the Yankees are threatening.
Two on. No one out.
And the batter is Roger Maris.
He's wide-deep in the right
and bounced the first base in two trips.
Here's Ferris and Ben.
He swings the right and in the right field.
This one's in there for a hit.
He runs in.
Here's Ferris headed for second base.
And he's going in safe place.
Roger Maris, flying the ball hard
in the right field.
But Kavi came over to cut it off on the first hop.
The ball bounced away from him.
Maris racing in the second base.
It'll be an error charged against the right fielder.
Allowing Maris to go down to second.
So it'll be a single for Roger with two runs batted in.
And an error on the right fielder.
Allowing Maris to go down to second base.
So the Yankees have a runner in second with no one out.
They're out in front of this ball game
by a score of two to nothing.
And we're going to get a pitching change right here.
Al Dark has moved out to the mound
and made the call to the bullpen.
Joe, and I believe it's Lysen.
You had him going in a hurry, George.
You know, this Yankee ball club,
two things that sometimes it's hard to do.
Sometimes you get overlooked when you talk about the Yankees
because you think about hitting in home runs and power.
The two things overlooked is off field defense,
how they can keep the double play in order
by finding defensive work in the off field
and how they can take that edge to base.
Two and up, you move that man in the scoring position
when you take that edge to base.
But the big thing is you stay away from the inning record
or the double play.
Roger Maris never did hesitate
as he got to first base,
just went right on the round,
and he's on a second base in scoring position.
So right now it's a two to nothing score
with the Yankees out in front.
The line score, as we look at it,
two runs, five hits in one area,
four of the Yankees, no runs, one hit,
and three errors for the Giants,
two of those three errors right here in this city.
And Billy Pierce will get a nice hand as he goes off.
Yes, sir, Joe, here's Billy Pierce leaving the mound
and he's getting a tremendous ovation
from this large crowd in Yankee Stadium.
And Billy has been quite a pitcher here this afternoon.
He just seemed to run out of gas here on the seventh inning.
And of course he's pitched a lot of ball down through the stretch
and into the playoffs.
He won the first game of the playoffs, eight to nothing.
He came back and pitched that all-important ninth inning,
protecting a two run lead in the third game of the playoffs
and the way off that sent the Giants into this World Series
against the Yankees.
So Billy leaves giving up two runs on five hits.
And of course he'll be responsible for the base runner
that's down at second base right now,
Roger Merris, in case he should score.
And big Don Larson, who is certainly no stranger
to Yankee Stadium will come on to do the pitching
back in 1956, as everybody knows by now.
Don Larson fits the only perfect game
in World Series competition right here in Yankee Stadium.
He'll be facing Elston Howard, the first batter.
He'll always run for two.
He lined deep to left field in the second inning.
In the fifth inning, he sent a ground ball double
over the bag at third base.
Roger Merris at second base with no one out.
The Yankees lead, two to nothing.
Here's the pitch to Howard. Ball, it's down low.
One ball and no strikes.
Jose Pagan keeps racing over behind Merris,
trying to hold Roger close at second base.
Larson checks his runner. The pitch.
A swing of his.
Hard slider breaking to the outside corner.
One ball, one strike.
Yankees will be trying to move Merris to third base
without using the sacrifice.
They would like for Howard to swing away,
trying for the base hit, but if not,
they're moving along to third.
Here's the pitch.
There's a high-fly ball hit the center field.
Not too deep. Merris is tagging.
I doubt he'll go. Here he goes for third.
Here's the throw coming across.
Third base.
Merris is throw a little bit off line,
and Merris slides in safely.
He just literally challenged Willie Merris
by coming on over.
I didn't think he would make it.
Willie with the tremendous throwing arm,
but Roger Merris just tagged up
and came on over and picked up a mighty big base.
He's sacrificed far now.
Pick it up. It looks like Yankees will have to come in,
which of course will really be the advantage
of Moose Cowan.
Bill Cowan the batter.
The Yankees leading two to nothing here
in the bottom of the seventh.
Roger Merris is on a third base with one out.
As Joe told you, the Giants
are going to play their infield in close.
Cowan struck out in the second inning,
and he lined hard to Davenport.
And the fifth thing,
Davenport turning it into a double play.
Here's the pitch to Moose.
He's hit on the first pitch.
Scarrant is hit in the back.
He's all right.
He's cutting down the first base.
Larson trying to pitch in tight to the Moose.
They try to pitch him in on the fifth.
Got this one in a little bit too close.
And the Moose was hit.
So the Yankees will have runners
at first and third one out,
and the batter will be Cleat Boyer.
You'll see if this alters
the Giants defense at all.
It might be playing back here for the double play.
Boyer
both times has gone out on
fly balls to Maze and center field.
The last time up,
he sent Willie deep in the center to get his fly ball.
Two to nothing. The Yankees in front.
They're still threatening here in the seventh inning.
This was the scoreless ball game going into the inning.
What singles by Tresh,
Manel and Meras have added two runs.
Which Giants are going to play their infield half way
with runners at first and third?
Here's the bitch.
Ball outside, he got the curve off the corner.
One ball, no strikes.
Davenport is ready for a play at the plate.
Sopeta is holding against the runner at first base.
And Pagan and Hiller
have moved back.
They're playing about half way from their normal position.
Here's the bitch.
Outside, another curve breaking down and away.
Ball two and no strikes.
The pitcher,
Stafford will be the next batter.
So Larson is going to be careful with Boyer.
He would rather not walk him to load the bases,
but he had rather pitched to
Stafford than Boyer in this spot.
So it will be interesting to see how he pitches to Clee.
So far he's been trying to get into the fight at a bad curve.
Don gets up.
Here's the 2-0 pitch.
He swings and misses on a curve ball.
Ball two and strike one.
You can really see when he's doing that,
Manel's point is directly behind home plate
and he's really trying to get him into that curve ball
because that's the double plate of ground ball
which Larson has and so far.
He's just been throwing nothing but breaking balls.
Larson looking in.
A lot of taking time in this situation.
Here's the 2-1 pitch.
A swing and a miss on a bad curve
breaking down and away.
That one was in the dirt.
Boyer was going for it.
So it's all even at two and two.
A two to nothing ball game.
The Yankees out in front.
They're still threatening in the seventh.
Runners at first and third with one out.
Clee boy is about her with a ball two and a strike two count.
Larson ready.
The pitch.
A ground ball to the shortstop.
They're going for the double play.
Back to first east safe.
Killer juggles the ball at second base.
Just long enough to enable Boyer to beat the play
at Marist comes in with a third run of the inning.
There's a big play at Roger Marist.
Able to come over to third base on the fly ball
hit by Alston Howard.
He picked up the base where he scores on the
fourth shot hit into by Boyer.
Just at split second and he'll
head for all the difference.
Not only did the Yankees pick up a run but they
have their picture coming up.
If he does go out they won't have to
lead him off in the eighth inning.
Bill Stafford the batter.
Boyer at first base with two down here on the seventh.
The Yankees are in front three to nothing.
There's a quick turn at first.
Boyer back in town.
I doubt that Boyer will be running
in the spot.
He'll be staying close to the bag.
There's the bench.
A swing and a miss on a curve ball.
As Joe told you the Yankees
do not want Stafford leading off in the eighth inning.
Rather he'd bet right here.
He's going to go for the third base
and then he'll be in the third base.
He's in the fourth inning.
Rather he'd bet right here.
Boyer beating the play at first base
made it a big play in a lot of ways.
It got the run in.
It got Stafford to the plate.
Here's the bench.
Bill hits a ground ball to first base.
Spada steps on the bag and the sides
return.
Three runs in the inning.
Three runs on three hits.
Two errors.
So Yankees three and the Giants
nothing.
Bobby Richardson has been a World Series hero
and Mel Allen was talking to him
in the clubhouse the other day.
I see you've got several dispensers
of Gillette's Super Blue Blades there
in your locker Bobby.
Yes Mel, I don't ever want to be caught short
of Super Blues if I can help it.
I'm really soul on those quick clean shades.
Nothing like that.
Bobby repeats what millions upon millions of men
say about the Super Blue Blade.
You've made it the world's most popular
blade by far.
An exclusive Gillette process gives them
edges so keen, so smooth
they whisk through the toughest beard
like it wasn't even there.
Refreshing shades, clean quick shades
you have to experience to believe.
And Super Blues are double edge
for added convenience.
You get more shades per blade.
Enjoy the unparalleled comfort of Super Blue Blades
and the new Gillette Slim adjustable razor.
It's lighter and longer, more compact.
It's easier to handle, easier to shave
those hard to reach spots.
Right now you can get them both.
The Slim adjustable razor and Super Blues.
Plus a can of foamy instant leather
as the Gillette World Series Special.
This $2.29 value is yours
for only $1.95.
So you save 34 cents.
Well at the end of 7
the Yankees have 3 runs on 5 hits.
They've made one error.
And the Giants have no runs on 1 hit
and they've made 3 errors.
You're excited about it
if the three fellas have been real busy.
The official scores who today are Bob Stevens
at San Francisco Chronicle
or Ray Kelly of the Philadelphia Bulletin
and Tilt Fadenze of the New York General American.
Here's Jose Pagán to lead off for the Giants
in the eighth inning.
Shark's got his bounce for second
and foul to the catcher in two trips.
He swings and lines at the left field.
And the Yankees are out in front.
The single by Pagán.
Pagán.
The second hit of Bill Stafford.
One strike Gunlow.
Penel uniform
cannon
at least one strike to try to get the base runner, but Stafford has walked two men over
in the first inning, and they're just going up to, going to Whacken.
Here's the pitch. He checked the swing in time, since Dan Lambs, one ball, one strike.
That might have been what Stafford was thinking, Joe, is he just laid the fast ball in there
on the first pitch to Fagann, and the little fellow just lined it in the left field.
A lot of times that'll happen, and you think they're taken, and of course you give up the
base hit, and then you switch the whole pitching pattern.
Bill gets ready. Here's the one-one pitch. The ground ball to third. Boyer has it. Here's a throw to second.
He's out. No chance for a double play, as Richardson was playing far to his right.
In fact, he had quite a race to the back to beat Fagann over there.
George, he was so far over for a minute, I thought Kupac was going to make the play.
Boyer was in on the grass, guarding against the ball, you hit off the end of the bat,
and when Alu hit the hot shot, he had that ball in plenty of time.
Richardson, there was nothing he could do. Bobby had to protect that hole between post and second.
He really had to come scouting and scampering to be there.
Another thing, Joe, they were just making certain they got one runner, because you don't double Matty Alu anyway,
unless he hits a shot right at you, and so they were going to be sure they got one man.
Well, here's Faleepaloo. He's off a three this afternoon.
Stafford delivers a curve, it's in there, one strike.
Faleepaloo has learned to center, bounced a third, and fly to Merrickson right field.
We're in the top of the eighth inning, the Giants have a runner at first place,
with one out, the Yankees are leading, three to nothing.
Here's the bench, a spall down low, a ball and a strike to Alu.
This was a scoreless ball game until the seventh,
the Yankees broke it open with three runs.
Alu waiting, here's the one-one bench, outside, just off the corner with this one,
ball two and strike one.
Billy Pierce started on the mound for the Giants, and he was a great pitcher here this afternoon.
He seemed to tire a little bit in the seventh inning.
Three straight singles drove him out, Don Larson came on.
Don Larson is out of the game for a pitch batter,
and we'll have a new giant pitcher in the bottom of the eighth.
The two-one pitch to Alu, he swings and lines it off the glove of Stafford, he picks it up,
here's the throw, he's out.
A line shot back to the middle and hit him on the leg, I believe.
Stafford is limping around, he came off the mound,
grabbed the ball through to Scowern in time to get Alu,
as Maddie Alu moved down the second base,
and here's the trainer of the Yankees coming out along with Ralph Hock,
and the ball seemed to hit Stafford on the right leg, you know.
The left leg, it is.
The trainer is out, and he can hardly stand.
George and Ralph Hock is just now asking to sit down,
and he didn't look like he could hit him on the shin bone,
the bullpen is in action, out in the right field corner, it was a low fastball,
and Alu sent it right back up to middle,
Stafford never did get his glove on it,
hit him flush, and with that great competitive instinct,
he just went right after that,
the baseball made his put out at first base,
of course Maddie Alu took second on the play,
and after Stafford made the put out, he just went staggering around,
and now he's seated right in the middle of the diamond as Ralph Hock,
Joe Sturdy's a trainer, Moose Dowan Nelson Howard, look on.
George, he may have to leave his ballgame.
I'm very surprised, you know, if he is able to continue this game,
taking a good long look at it, of course,
Hock wants him to continue, if he can't at all,
he's been a tremendous pitcher this afternoon.
The thing you worry about, more than anything,
is if he's pitching with the bad leg, it's his follow through,
he wants to stay in, he's going to take a shot at it,
and he'll be watching as he is followed through,
because you said they don't want to have him stably in it,
anything, which where the injury to the leg could have put his arm,
so they're not watching as he warps up, he's just cut loose a fastball,
Hock is standing right there in the middle of the mound, he's watching him.
If he can throw any harder than that, they may start him tomorrow.
He's really blazing it in there now,
as if to prove to Hock that he wants to stay in there.
Well, he's going to continue in this ball game.
It pains him, it hurts him, we're pulling out talking to him.
It hurts him now, but it's going to hurt even more in the morning when he wakes up.
Oh, I don't think he'll make it to the dancing time, George.
No, if he was going to the dance tonight, he'll have to call it off, that's out.
Well, we're still having a conference at the mound, four years there, along with Scowren,
and they're just checking with him to be sure, and he says, yes sir, I'm going to finish.
George, you've been in enough of those conversations, but it's always the same,
you ask the fellas, they were out of your field, and he says it hurts.
What do you think of them, the field?
With the wind dry, what can he tell you?
He's got a little bit of a scuba now.
You like these pitchers, Joe, they don't want to come out of there,
and I don't believe he's going to be able to continue.
Just as he gets ready to pitch, he says he wants some more warm-up tosses,
and I don't think he's going to be able.
He is limping around the mound, like he's going to have to have some help yet.
Well, I don't know.
I really watch him from the turnout, he's going to stay in, you've got to go for it,
particularly staying because the mound is really no place for the heroes,
and if he's able to go, that's what they want.
Chuck Hiller is stepping in, the giants have a runner in second base,
there's two outs here in the eighth inning, the Yankees out in front, three to nothing.
Here's the pitch to Hiller, curve ball, it's down low, one ball and a strike.
There's action in the Yankee bullpen, but we cannot see the bullpen from here.
Here's the one in O-pitch, curve inside, a ball to it and a strike count.
To and on to Chuck Hiller, Willie Mays is in the on-deck circle, the Yankees want to keep Hiller off,
Mays will be the tying run, here's a ground ball to second base,
Richardson has it, the first, he's out.
Go around, one hit, the women were out, one down, one out, one down,
first half of the eighth inning, the Yankees three and the giants nothing.
You know many of the players work with young players in the off-season,
for instance, Maury Wills plays a lot of basketball with high school of jizz,
and as he says when those boys start to shave, I tell them there's nothing like the Gillette way.
Millions of men, the Gillette way, need super blue blades.
Every day more and more men are discovering the all but unbelievable shaving comfort on super blues.
An exclusive Gillette process makes their edges so cheap, so smooth they whisk off the heaviest beard,
like it wasn't even there.
Quick clean shave, really refreshing.
A dispenser is included with a new Gillette Slam adjustable razor,
and the Slam is wider, longer and trimmer, and it's adjustable to match your skin and beard.
Now the Gillette World Series Special includes the Slam adjustable and super blue blades,
blast a 79 cent can of Comey Instant Lather for only $1.95.
It's a 225 value, so you save 34 cents.
Let's pause here 30 seconds for a station identification.
This is WGY's Connected E.
You know it's amazing how a major league team can snap back fast when it's down.
When you're feeling down, you too can snap right back with a cold sparkling refresher,
Saratoga Vichy, instant pygmy up tang so titleizing it's delicious all by itself.
And Saratoga's naturally livelier spring fresh flavor adds zip life and sparkle to every mixed drink.
So for that finger snapping, toe tapping, taste and feeling, be sure it's Saratoga Vichy with the yellow label.
Bob Bowen is coming in to pitch for the San Francisco Giants. This is a big hard throw on right hand.
Really a rear back and farm guy. He comes on third base when the right hand hitters are up there.
He'll make them give ground. His best pitch is a great fastball, a side-heimer.
George, the attendance here today is 71,434, which is a complete sellout here at Yankee Stadium.
Just got word too from the bullpen that Yankees have Jim Colts a right hander and Bud Daly warming up while a Bill Stafford is being treated in the dugout
after getting wrecked up on his shins by the line drive hit by a loop.
Bob Bowen has just completed his warm-ups and this is a hard throw on right hander.
You're telling me it's a sellout, Joe. I forgot to get a ticket from a wife. She came in last night and I thought she was going to sit right here by you today.
If she had gotten her ticket about noon, I wouldn't have been here. It is a sellout.
Boy, you usually find a ticket somewhere around but not this morning.
There's Tony Cuback to lead off. Bowen delivers strike. He got the fastball over.
A one strike count.
Tony's had one hit in three trips. That was a double back in the third inning.
It's a three to nothing ball game here in the bottom of the eighth inning. The pitch he swings and misses on a fastball two strikes.
Three runs on five hits in one error for the Yankees.
Giants have no runs on two hits. They've made three errors.
Here's the two strike, bitch. A high pop fly behind second base.
First killer waiting on him. He's got it. There's one away.
Tony Cuback pops to the second baseman.
Bring up Bobby Richardson.
Bobby's looking for his first hit today. He's fly to right.
Line to first and bounce to the shortstop in three trips.
Bobby, a right-handed batter.
Bowen delivers ball. It's in tight. One ball and no strikes.
Bottom of the eighth inning. One out with no one on. The Yankees three and the Giants nothing.
It's all important third ball game. Here's the pitch.
There's a high pop fly in the shallow left center field. May's racing in along with a loop.
And Willie Mays makes the cut.
Bobby Richardson out on the fly to center. Two down and the batter will be Tom Price.
Tommy will be batting left-handed for the first time today.
Switch hitter. He batted right-handed against Billy Pierce.
Here's the pitch. Outside. One ball and no strikes.
The Yankees have out-hit the Giants five to two.
The Giants chipped in with two big errors in the three run seventh inning.
Here's the one and no pitch. A swing at him is.
He plays the fast ball by one ball, one strike.
Billy Pierce started for the Giants. Larson relieved him in the seventh. Bob Bowlin coming on here in the eighth inning.
Here's the one and one pitch. Trash swings and misses again. One ball, two strikes.
Tommy really having a couple of ripples at those last two fast balls.
He's got a little bit of a run to the wind up.
Just as he gets ready, the umpire landers falls ten.
It looks like a kite, Joe, is floating in the outfield.
Exactly what it is. Hank Saw called time. He thought the kite was kind of land and it just kept taking off.
But now it's floating around and 71,000 people here at Yankee City are watching the kite land.
The ground steeper had to grab it and land it right on to leave the loop.
Well, in way and resume, Tommy Trash will be the batter with a one ball, two strike.
We're ready to go as Tommy steps back in. Here's the pitch from Bowlin.
He's in misses. Here's a fast ball by Trash.
Now round the snow hits, now there's no one left.
The story of the eighth ball innings of play. The Yankees three and the Giants nothing.
Now we've seen some great third base play in this World Series from Boyer and Davenport.
And one of the best rookie third basements around today is Rich Rollins of Minnesota.
You'll be hearing from him for years to come and here's a sample on tape.
I'm bringing my patient shape to the set with Gillette Super Blue Blades. They do the job at no time at all.
They're smooth, they're...
Richy repeats what men everywhere say about the Super Blue Blade.
An exclusive Gillette process gives the magic so clean, so smooth, you'd almost think there was no blade in your range.
Quick, plain, easy shave you have to experience to believe.
And Super Blues are double edge for extra convenience.
Every shave per blade. For the utmost in shaving comfort, try them on the new Gillette Slam Adjustable Razer.
Now it's lighter, it's longer and more compact. And it adjusts to your skin and beard.
Right now you get both the Slam Razer and Super Blue Blades.
Plus a 79 cent can of foamy instant leather as a Gillette World Series Special.
Now this $2.29 value is yours for only $1.95. You save 34 cents.
Well here's Willie Mays to lead off for the Giants in the ninth inning.
It'll be Mays McCovey and Sepeta, racing Bill Stafford.
It will be interesting Joe to watch Bill to see if the leg is tightened up a little during the resty head.
A 3 to nothing ball game, the Yankees are out in front.
Willie has popped to the shortstop, rounded the short and called out on strikes in three trips today.
Here's the first pitch, a curve lying to left field, this one's in there.
Trash racing over knocks it down, here's Mays headed for seconds as well coming in.
It's going to be Closie safe in seconds.
Willie Mays, Lions run, into the corner in left field.
More than likely it'll be a two base hit, Trash bobbled the ball for just a moment.
It's a two base hit for Willie Mays.
Willie was really stood around, he didn't want to stay in front of the base, he only wanted to get in the score position and stay away from that double play situation.
Here's Willie McCovey, big left handed batter.
A ground ball hit to the second base.
Bobby, bobbled the ball, here's the third of first, he is out.
Bobby Richardson, fumbled the ball for a moment, made a quick throw to Bill Scowren.
He got McCovey by half step at first base.
Willie Mays moves along the third with one out, a batter will be Sepeta.
Bobby fumbled the ball, he was going to pick it up, he had an easy play but he couldn't find it for a moment.
Had to take two grabs at it, and by then McCovey was closing in on first base but he got him on a close play.
So a runner at third, one out, here's our lamb, no Sepeta.
Stafford delivers a curve, he pops it up into shallow right field.
Mays is coming in, waiting on him, Mays is tagging, I doubt he'll come in, here's a throw and Willie goes back.
No use in Willie taking a chance as his run means nothing unless they can get two more.
So Sepeta is out on a fly ball and the shallow right, there's two down, and the batter will be Ed Bailey.
The Yankees lead by three, here in the top of the ninth inning.
He's going to be the last one to go in that corner, he's going to be the last one.
Ed Bailey, left handed hitting catcher step again.
Stafford into the line up, here's the bench, there's a long draw to right field, Mays going deep, way back it's gone, a home run for Bailey.
Ed Bailey hit a line and drive into the seats in right field, Mays waits back and he's been able to get there in time, he could have caught the ball, it just did get in.
But it was a low liner, just out of his reach into the seats.
So it's a three to two ball game, the Yankees leading and the batter is Jim Davenport.
Two offs in the top of the ninth inning.
Here's a fix to Davenport, a curve ball, it's two halfs, one ball and a strike.
The Giants have picked up two here in the top of the ninth inning to cut the Yankee lead to one.
Stafford delivers, here's a fly ball foul up to the right.
One ball, one strike.
The Giants making a last ditch effort to keep it alive here in the ninth and Bill Stafford trying to get them out.
A double and a home run and they picked up two.
Here's the one one pitch, curve it's in the dirt.
Ball two and strike one to Davenport.
Alondac is motion to his bullpen, he wants big Tom Haller, the left-handed catcher to come on over there,
use him as a pinch shooter.
And that'll probably bring Marshall Bridges, Louis Saroya or Bud Daley, if we get the left-handed batter if Davenport gets on.
Here's the bench, here's a high fly ball to left field, this may be the ball game.
Tommy Trash is waiting on it, he's waiting, he's got it, the ball game.
Davenport, nice to left, two runs in the ninth inning, hang on two hits, no errors, no unleft.
And the final score of this ball game, the Yankees three and the Giants two,
we'll be back in just one moment to review the highlights of the game for you.
Well we've seen some great shortstop play so far in the series from Paghan and Cubak,
one of the best in the business is Dick Rodefriaritz, here's what Dick thinks of the new Gillette Slam adjustable racer.
Is your first experience with the adjustable dick? No, I've been adjustable users from the start, but the new slim is even better,
it's easier to handle, it seems to get at those hard to reach areas.
Well Dick is right and only the Gillette adjustable has the precision dial with nine different positions.
One gives you just the right blade setting for your skin and beard.
The new slim is a streamline razor, it's wider, longer for better balance,
and with it you get a supply of double-edged super blue blades.
The Gillette Discovery, millions upon millions of men, find unparallel for shaving comfort.
Right now on the Gillette World Series Special, you get the slim adjustable and super blues with a 79 cent can of Gillette homey instant lather at a 34 cent saving.
It's a 229 value and it's yours for only a dollar and ninety-five.
Well Joe, it was a great ball game here today, the Yankees have taken a two to one lead and you've got the highlights for us.
Another real fine pitching afternoon, whole series so far in the first game, the 6-2 win, Whitey Ford,
and so Darrell Ford was jumped in the second ball game to nothing, the Giants one of three hit it by Sanford, and here this afternoon Billy Pierce and Bill Sanford really hooked up in a pitching goal.
It wasn't until a seventh inning, in fact the Yankees had run into a streak of 15 scoreless innings.
Billy Pierce in the seventh inning ran into three runs and that was the old ball game as far as the scoring was concerned with the Yankees.
And the way that scoring went, Tom Tresh in that seventh inning opened it up with a single or center field.
It looked for a minute like Willie Mays might be able to make a play, it dropped in for a base hit, Willie played it on the first hop,
and then Mickey Mell, and Bill won in the left field.
Tom Tresh looked like he was thinking about stopping at second base and then shifted here, he moved on over into third base,
and then the ball took a bit of a bad hop, a high hop to our low, and his throw after handling a high hop was off,
and then a target at third base, and Tresh went in sliding, and Mell took second, so it was second and third,
and Roger Merris, and then Bill won the first pitch to right field, driving in two.
William McCurvy didn't come up with the ball clean, he bobbled it, and Merris took second base.
Then there was a key play, it turns out to be the big one, and that was where the Yankees started to put the little things together.
Elston Howard, flying to Willie Mays in short right center field, and Roger Merris at second base,
tagged up and literally dared Willie Mays to throw him out at third base.
Mays's throw was not on target, and Merris went sliding in to third base safely.
Scowne was then hit with a pitched ball, we had a first and third situation,
and then Boyer hit a ground ball to the shortstop for Garn.
Here's Flip to Hillard at second base, Hillard juggled it just enough to miss the play at first base,
and Roger Merris came across the score with a third run.
Bill Stafford then ended the inning by grounding out to Orlando Sapeida.
So it was three runs for the Yankees on three hits, there were two errors,
but the big play in that inning turns out to be Roger Merris taking third on the fly ball hit by Elston Howard,
and scoring as Boyer hits to a fourth play, because these Giants came rolling back with two runs in the top of the night,
that was a double by Ed Bailey, and then a home run by Willie Mays and a home run by Ed Bailey.
The line score for the Yankees, three runs, five hits and one error, Stafford was the winning pitcher,
two runs, four hits and three errors with Pierce the losing pitcher.
Bill Stafford had real good control all afternoon, in fact only two Giants had reached the third base up until that ninth inning,
that was Devon Wood in the second, and then Mays was the second man in that ninth inning,
and of course Bailey with this big home run.
So the second game is now history, the Yankees have taken one game lead here as they win it three to two.
Our engineer this afternoon has been Harry Alexander, our producer has been Len Dylan.
You've been sure to tune in again tomorrow afternoon at 12.45, with George Kelly and I'll be back right here at Yankee Stadium,
12.45 Eastern Daylight Time for the fourth game of this exciting 1962 World Series,
brought to you by Priceway Corporation and the Gillette Safety Laser Company.
Once again the score hit this afternoon, the Yankees three, the San Francisco Giants two.
