On Wednesday, October 10, 1962, the San Francisco Giants faced the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium for Game 5 of the 1962 World Series.
The series was tied at two games apiece after a big grand slam by the Giants Chuck Hiller in the seventh inning of a 7-3 win in Game 4.
This audio recording is from the NBC Radio broadcast featuring announcers George Kell and Joe Gargiola.
This series is all tied up. The Yankees won the first game 6-2. The Giants won the second game 2-0. The Yankees won the third game 3-2.
The Giants won the fourth game 7-3. And right now we have a ball tossing ceremony.
Hall of Famer Bill Dickey in the Yankee break. It's a long-size game. Yankee duck out and Dickey will throw out the first ball.
Bill Dickey. Great touches of all time. A great Yankee. Hall of Famer. And all the boys out watching him.
Bill used to be coach for these Yankees. He'd get a tremendous hand.
Bill Dickey all poised and he throws a strike out to Elston Howard. And Howard, as is the custom, returns to baseball, shakes hands with the great Hall of Famer.
Bill Dickey and heads back to warm up Ralph Terry. George is much a part of the conversation around that batting cage as anything.
It was certainly the great weather we're having here this afternoon.
Terrific, Joe. Even as late as last night, around 10 o'clock, the weatherman was not too sure we'd have a good day.
But it has turned out to be a wonderful afternoon. A bright, sunshiny afternoon here at Yankee Stadium.
He's set a few clouds floating by, but that'll help the in-fielders and out-fielders on these high-fly balls.
While we're ready to go, Chuck Hiller, the second baseman, steps in. A left-handed batter against the right-hander, Ralph Terry.
Chuck's batting average at 267. Here's the first pitch of the game. It's outside. One ball and no strike.
Chuck has four home runs and 15 trips to the plate. He has one home run and that was a grand slam homer.
Here's the one and oh, bitch. He swings and misses. Chuck tried to check it on a high fastball, but he'd gone too far.
One ball, one strike. Boy, you're at third base. It's playing right on top of him. He's ready for the bun.
Everybody else on the in-field is back. Here's the one-one, bitch. Curve ball. He fouls it off. This one's going back in the upper deck.
Players didn't feel like the background would be too bad today because there would be more dark coats and sweaters and not as many white shirts.
But with Terry pitching, the Yankees felt that it would be a bit of an edge because he comes directly overhanded and would be right in the middle of that crowd
as far as the background is concerned. It's been a bit of a problem here.
Here's the one, too, bitch. Fastball inside. That's one a little bit off the corner. So the count is even to Hiller at two and two.
As Joe pointed out, a pitcher that comes straight overhand here has the advantage because he's throwing right out of the crowd in center field.
Those that drop down a little from the side will be throwing out of the stands out there where it's black.
Here's a fastball outside. Three and two.
I said Hiller had four home runs and then four runs batted in. One home run.
That was a grand slam homer in the last ball game. One homer, four runs batted in.
Terry gets ready. Here's the three, two pitch. Outside. He walked in.
Hiller walks on the three, two pitch.
That's a runner at first base. There's no one out and the batter will be Jim Davenport, the third baseman.
Jim's a right-handed batter. He has a 182 batting average.
Under the plate 11 times, he has two hits. No home runs, no runs batted in it yet.
Chuck Hiller is on at first base here in the first inning. Terry checks the runner. Here's a pitch.
Strike. He got a fastball over. This one around the knee. Davenport squared around, ready to bun.
Whether it was a bluff or not, we'll have to wait and see.
Boyer is playing in close at third base and of course Scourin holds against the runner at first base.
Q-back and Richardson playing back.
Terry taking a little time. Chuck's his sign. Here's a token toss over to first base.
Hiller is back in plenty of time.
The pitch to Davenport. Strike two. He got the curve ball over.
So Terry moves out in front of Jimmy Davenport with a strike two count.
This is an all-important ball game, maybe even more so for the Yankees than the Giants.
As the action will move to Candlestick Park in San Francisco on Friday for the sixth game.
Of course the Giants feel they have an edge at home.
Another toss to first base, but Hiller only standing a step or so off the bag. It's back in plenty of time.
Here's a pitch. Fastball, he struck him out. Jimmy Davenport strikes out.
Terry fired the fastball by him. That's one away. And the batter will be Maddie Alloux.
Maddie's been to the plate seven times in this series. He's had three hits.
429 batting average. He has one run batted in.
George, he was a real hot hitter about the last month of the season. In fact, Hiller was standing.
Lou was down about 230 and he ended up around 290. So he really had to do some fancy hitting to get way up there.
Tell us probably the fastest man in this series going to first base.
Here's the first pitch. A curve ball. He bounces at the scouring. It is foul just outside the line.
Lou's taking a step across the line to pick it up. A one strike count.
Terry has thrown a lot of slow curves here in the first inning. And he will throughout the ball game.
But he has the good live fastball. So you can't look for the curve as Davenport might have been doing with two strikes on him.
And he just blazed the fastball by him.
A runner in first base. One out. We're in the first inning. There's no score in this ball game.
Maddie, Lou's standing in with a one strike count.
Terry, normally a fast worker taking a little time here in the first inning.
Makes another throw to first base.
Hiller getting practically no lead at all. Here's the pitch. A slow curve and it's in there.
Boy, he really pulled the string on that one, Joe.
You can see a little just kind of give it to how do you do as he bowed. Nothing you can do when you get fooled so completely.
All you can hope for is that you don't come right out of those shoes because he really had Maddie a little leading forward.
That's about a slow curve ball. He's known, George.
You can reach out and catch that kind. Terry gets that.
Makes another throw to first base. Tell her back.
Here's the bad part about it. A Lou now can't look for that slow curve because he might get that blazing fastball.
Here's the pitch. Fastball. He pops it foul. This one's going out of play. Still strike two.
In case you joined us late, Chuck Hiller walked on a three-two pitch.
Jim Davenport struck out. Maddie, Lou batting with a strike two count.
Terry got a new baseball from Al Barlich. He didn't like that one. Tosses it in and gets another one.
Al Barlich, the umpire behind the plate today. Charlie Berry is at first base. Stan Landis at second base and Jim Hanichick at third base.
Hank soars down the left field line. Ken Burkhart in right field.
The pitch to Alou, he struck him out. A fastball around the knees and Maddie Alou strikes out.
Well, it's two down and the batter will be Willie Mays.
The last ball for Willie as he comes on.
Willie's been to the plate 17 times in this series. It's at five hits for a 294 batting average.
He's looking for his first home run. He's batted in one run.
Ralph Perry delivers a curve down low. One ball, that strikes.
Yankees deep and pretty much straight away for Willie. Everybody back except Scowern who's holding against the runner at first base.
Willie right down on the end of the bat, waiting. Here's the pitch. Curve down low. A ball two and a no strike count.
Well, the ball players were really disappointed over the rain out yesterday. They were anxious to get into action.
We rode back to town on the giant bus and they were most anxious to play the ballgame, but there was no chance to play it here yesterday.
Ralph Perry looking in. Chuck's his runner at first base. The pitch to Mays. Here's a long belt and his curving foul down the left field line.
Willie was waiting on the slow curve and he melted it deep to left, but he pulled it foul.
He got that ball up and in. Willie was really waiting for it because that's one of those room service curve balls and they get up in your eyes.
You couldn't order any better.
It's a ball two and a strike one count. The giants have a runner at first base with two outs here in the first inning.
There's no score in the ballgame. The pitch to Mays. Fastball. He fouled it back. It will be in the upper deck.
Something coming out of the upper deck instead of a ball. Somebody reaching for the baseball lost their clipboard.
Somebody's going to be without their ad lib door left in there because they're laying on the screen.
The count is even in two and two to Willie. Chuck Hiller leading off at first base. Chuck's not getting very far off the bag.
Here's the two to pitch down low. Got it over the plate but too low. Three and two to Mays.
That means Hiller will be moving on this pitch. Three, two, two outs.
A scoreless ball game in the first inning.
Ralph Terry against Jack Sandford here this afternoon. Beautiful baseball afternoon in Yankee Stadium.
Here's a throw to first base. Once again Hiller takes one step and he's back on the bag.
He's showing a lot of respect for Terry's move to first base. Getting practically no lead at all.
Ralph gets that. Here's a three to pitch. A ground ball foul. This one off the third base side.
Still three and two to Willie.
You should always just stick on me. The different instructions you get with different type hitters.
If about a two thirty or two forty hitters up in your own first base, I say now get a good jump so you can break up that double player.
Get that guy out of there. But if a good hitter like a maze is up there, they do what they're telling Hiller.
Stay here and don't you get picked off. Let Willie swing.
That's right Joe. You get picked off with Mays hitting. Shoot you. Here's a pitch.
Here's a liner to left field. Grace racing in. He's got it.
The maze hit the ball hard. A line drives. Grace the Tommy Trash in left field.
For the Giants in the first inning, no runs, no hits, no errors. One man left and the score at the end of the first.
The Giants nothing. The Yankees coming to bat.
We'll be back with more exciting action from the fifth game of the 1962 World Series after this.
Your lawn could die of thirst this summer if it has to depend on the weather to get the water it needs.
So be sure you've got quality hoses you can depend on from true value hardware stores.
Hi, Pat Summerall to tell you true value nylon reinforced vinyl hoses are designed to stand up to the heat and remain flexible in cold weather.
And right now you can get their 60 foot true value hose for $9.99 or the Super Rugged 75 foot length for $14.99.
Both have 5 8 inch inner diameter and are available only from participating true value hardware stores.
Music
And that all more action from game five of the 1962 World Series.
Well, we move along into the bottom of the first inning. There's no score in the ball game.
Tony Cubak will lead off for the Yankees. He'll be followed by Bobby Richardson and Tommy Trich.
Jack Sanford is taking his warm up tosses during the regular season. Jack won 24 games and lost seven.
And of course he was the winner in the second game of this World Series by a score of 2 to nothing.
That game being pitched to Candlestick Park out in San Francisco.
Cubak has been to the plate 17 times in the series. He's had four hits for a 235 batting average.
He's looking for his first home run and his first run batted in.
Another big crowd on hand today, although we do see a few empty seats here today.
Cubak a left handed batter waiting on Jack Sanford. Jack goes into the wind up. Here's his first pitch.
That's all it's in there. One strike to Cubak.
Giants had a runner at first base in the first inning in case he joined us late.
He'll do a walk to open the game, but he was stranded there as Terry got the next three batters.
Here's the pitch to Tony. Pass ball outside. One ball, one strike.
The Giants play Cubak straight away, even a little bit toward left field.
Tony will hit the ball in the left and left center a lot.
Sanford gets ready. Here's the 1-1 pitch. A line drive up the middle.
Heller gets his glove on him, but he can't hold it. Cubak is on it first base.
The low liner through the middle. Heller racing over trying to make a backhand stop.
That is glove on him, but he couldn't hold it. It'll be a single for Tony Cubak.
So the Yankees have a runner at first base. No one out in the batter is Bobby Richardson.
Bobby's been to the plate 17 times in this series. He has two hits for a 1-1-8 batting average.
They've been doing a real good job on Richardson with high pass balls and making him hit to the right side
and just shifting the defense that way.
Sanford ready. Now he steps off, bluffing Cubak back.
Davenport playing in closer third. Jimmy is about a step in front of the bag. Moving in a little closer.
Here's the pitch to Bobby. He bumps down the third base line. It's foul.
It was not the sacrifice type. Bobby was bunting for the base head. Dropped the bat at the last moment.
Pulled it outside the line.
A one strike count to Bobby Richardson. Little right handed hitting second baseman.
The last two series that Bobby has played in, he has reached great height.
In this series, as Joe said, they've been pitching him well. He's not been able to get off the ground so far.
Here's the one strike pitch. Pass ball. It's too low. Sanford got that one over the plate, but it was below the knees.
A lot of times when a fellow will bunset ball for the base head, bun it foul, then run the count to 1-1,
where Richardson is right now, he can handle that batting with Cubak on.
You certainly have to be alive for a possible hit and run play to break up that infield
because Richardson likes to hit with those infielders moving.
Sanford checks his runner. He steps off again. He has that in mind, Joe, as he's keeping Sanford, keeping Cubak close to first base.
Bobby Richardson waiting. Makes a quick throw to first, almost a wild throw. The coming knocked it down.
One of the big things that tells the Yankees is that there is no pitch out play on
because when you have a pitch out play on, you don't want your pitcher to be thrown over there.
Just hold them close and give you a chance to make the play. And anytime you see a pitcher throw over to first base,
you know there's no pitch out on. And unless Hallin wants to put one on right now, you're fairly safe
and assuming that there's nothing going on as far as the Giants putting on a play.
Sanford gets set. There's another throw to first. Cubak back in time.
It's a good way to break up a play though, George, as you well know, having that pitcher constantly thrown over there
because if Cubak don't get the good jump, he don't run.
Here's the 1-1 pitch. Bobby swings and hits a grounder foul down the first base line.
That one was hit like a bullet just outside the line. Charlie Berry, the first base umpire who was standing right on the line,
quickly gave the sign it was foul. Bobby trying to hit behind the runner through the hole between first and second.
Getting it outside the line so it's one ball and two strikes.
We're in the bottom of the first inning. There's no score in the ball game.
The Yankees have a runner at first base with no one out.
Sanford taking a little time as he looks in.
Here's the pitch. A ground ball hit for the second base.
It might be a double. He bubbles the ball. Everybody's safe.
Chuck Hiller was all set to make the double play. A big bouncer near the bag at second
and in his anxiety to flip it over to Pagone, it dropped out of his glove and everybody's safe.
It was a tailor made double play. Big hop in all but Chuck, let it get away from him in the last moment.
So the Yankees have runners at first and second. No one out and the batter will be Tom Thresh.
Tommy will be batting left handed against the right-hander Jack Sanford.
He's been to the plate 17 times. He has six hits or a 353 batting average.
So Sanford is in a hole here in the first inning. Two on with no one out. No score in the ball game.
Davenport in close looking for the bunt from third base. McCovey is playing in a couple of steps.
He's ready for the bunt. So pitch to Thresh. Here's a drive back to him.
A double play, maybe a triple play. Here's a third of second. Safe.
Tommy Thresh in a line drive. Back to Sanford who's feared it. He had a triple play if you'd have realized it, Joe.
I think Sanford forgot that the man was on his second base because he took a couple of steps and then flipped the ball
and then you could see him shake his fist and now he's standing on a mile with his hands on his hip.
I've forgotten. I'm almost certain that Cubek was on his second base because Tony was about 15 feet from the second base in Georgia.
He's just quickly said it could have been a triple play if he wheels and fires a Pagano with Johnny on his spot.
If he throws the second first, he has a triple play easily enough because McCovey after taking the throw
and getting Richardson through down to Pagano and it was very close on Cubek. Both runners were moving.
So there's two outs with a runner at second base and the batter is Mickey Mantle.
Well, it's the little excitement and pressure of the World Series that causes things like that.
You just don't pick things up as quickly as you normally would. The pitch to Mantle, strike, you got a pass ball over.
Mickey's been to the plate 15 times. He has two hits, a 133 batting average.
Samford really helping himself out of a jam as he speared that line drive. It was headed for center field.
What a great play and there's two outs now with a runner at second base.
Mickey Mantle right down on the end of the bat. Here's the pitch. Ball, it's too low. One ball, one strike.
Mickey is looking for his first home run in the World Series. He has a lot of balls hard, but so far he has not been able to get under the ball.
Most of his hard shots have been line drives.
The wind is blowing today in the right and right center field. Not a strong breeze. Just enough to move the flag on the flagpole in deep center field.
Samford taking a little time. Look, Sam. Here's the 1-1 pitch. Strike, two, pass ball, the outside corner. One ball, two strikes to Mantle.
Well, Yankees have a runner at second base with two outs here in the first inning. There's no score.
So far he hasn't done any curve balls, all fast balls. In contrast to when Marichau picked for example, Marichau did a lot of slow curve balls and got Manlon's life with the slow curve ball.
But Samford is relying on that good fast ball that he has and he's just been moving it in and out.
We mentioned before the ball game, Tom Heller the catcher said there's no getting ahead of Manle or Merritt and working on them. They started working on them from the very first pitch.
Yankees wanted Al Barlich to have a look at the base ball. Samford tossed it in and Barlich looked it over and tossed it right back to him.
Oh, it's one ball, two strikes. Samford is making Manle wait. Yankees staying right in the batter's box.
Here's the pitch. In the dirt with a fast ball, Heller made a nice play as he scooped it up and leaving the count at two and two.
No score in the first inning. Tony Kubeck is down at second base with two outs.
Manle taking a little time as he gets out of the box and steps back in. A ball, two and a strike, two counts.
Samford checks his runner at second base. The pitch to Manle. Outside. That one was close. Fast ball just off the corner.
Three and two to Mickey. Oh, Marichau threw him curve balls. Yo, on the three, two pitch, slow curve balls.
Oh, we'll check Samford to see what the pitching pattern might be. Right here in the first inning, it's three, two to Mickey.
Samford certainly will be trying to keep it away from him. He's ready. Here's the pitch. Fast ball. He hits it on the ground to the first base.
When McCovey bobbled it to second base, when Heller picks it up and throws the first he takes.
McCovey lets the ball get away from him. Heller picks it up, waits to throw to Samford.
In time to get Manle, but he pulled him off the bag. Oh, we'll have to wait. There's an error on the play. It's charged against McCovey.
Kubeck stopping at third base. The Yankees have runners at first and third with two outs, and the batter will be Roger Maras.
They're very unusual play, and they almost got him. Almost got him, is right, George. And one play where it just gets a little bit past the pitcher's covering,
the run's going to score because Haller cannot back up the play. He had to protect the whole play, so there was nobody backing up the play.
It was a real gamble throw by Chuck Hiller. You always like to see that in the ball player coming back after making an error.
Gambling to try to get his man. Samford has been in a lot of trouble in his first inning, but he's been really blowing his neck and pitching out of it.
Let's see what happens. Here's Roger Maras. The first pitch. A swing and a miss. There goes Manle to second. There'll be no throw down to second base.
McCovey was playing deep at first base, giving Manle a lot of room, and Mickey racing into second base.
They have runners at second and third with two outs. A one strike count to Roger Maras.
Roger has three hits in a series and 13 trips. 231 batting average. Maras has four runs batted in. He has no home runs.
A one strike count. Samford looking in. The pitch to Roger. Down, around the knee, and the strike to John.
Samford coming in with an overhand curve ball. Around the knee.
Once again, the Giants are in the shift. They have three infielders on the right side. McCovey, Hiller, and Pagan.
A ground ball to the shortstop position would get a couple of runs in here.
Samford taking a lot of time. Get ready. The pitch to Maras. Outside, fast ball high and away. One ball, two strikes.
Davenport is deep at third and wide of the bag. There's a lot of room between Davenport and Pagan, who is playing almost a normal second base position.
Here's the one-two pitch. There's a fly ball hit the left field. Alu going back. He's there waiting. Got it.
Roger Maras flies to Alu in left field. No runs in the inning on one hit. There were two errors. Two men left in the scourthy.
In the one full inning of play, the Giants nothing to Yankees nothing.
Game five of the World Series of 1962 continues after this.
Norm, we've all been talking. Can't hear you. My engine's knocking. I was saying we've decided you're out of the carpool.
Out of charcoal? Don't even own a Hibachi. No, out of the carpool, Norm. Oh, but I've been driving to work with you guys for three years.
I've taken any longer. Is it because I keep the windows down in the winter? No, Norm. And up in the summer? It's your engine. It knocks. It runs on.
What? I can't hear you. Fill up with Amicopremium Lead Free or we're through with you.
Barbecue? I told you. Don't own a Hibachi. Get Amicopremium Lead Free. Oh, it's got 14 benefits.
Gives good mileage, helps stop engine run on and knock. I'm sorry. What? Knock? Huh? Knock, knock. I love these jokes. Who's there? Norm. Norm who?
Norm, Amicopremium Lead Free. I don't get it. At 92 octane that's higher than most other Lead Free's, you'll solve performance problems from the very first.
I'm thankful. Sure, I'm thankful. I got a better idea. I'm going to use Amicopremium Lead Free. Hot dog. Okay, you win, but I got to get a Hibachi first.
Amicogasalines, you expect more from a leader.
You're listening to a classic World Series from the archives of NBC Radio Sports. Game five of the World Series of 1962.
Well, the Yankees dressed in the bottom of the first, but failed to score. They picked up a single and two errors by the Giants, but Jack Sanford was equal to the occasion.
And he got the Everdangers Roger Maris on a flat of left with two on and two out.
Willie McCovey will lead off with a giant in the second inning. He'll be followed by Filipe Alloux and then the catcher, Tom Haller.
McCovey is a big left handed batter. He's been to the plate seven times in this series. He's had one hit. That was a long home run off Kerry in San Francisco.
143 batting average.
Ralph, ready? Here's a bit.
Fastball, it's in there. One strike to McCovey.
The Yankees are deep and far around to the right for Willie. Play him to pull all the way. Here's a bit.
Another fastball he swings and misses. Strike two to McCovey.
Kerry's keeping that ball inside and the home run of McCovey hit. The thing that surprised Kerry was not this big-colored power, but how the ball was able to stay there because it was way inside.
He thought it would curve foul.
Willie waiting. The two strike bits. Inside a fastball that pushed him back.
One and two to McCovey.
He's right down on the end of the bat. Big bat looks like a toothpick in his hands as he waves it around.
Here's the one-two pitch. He struck him out through the fastball by him and Willie McCovey goes down swinging.
Three strikeouts for Ralph Terry.
One away and the batter will be the left fielder, Filipe Alloux.
Filipe has been to the plate 14 times and he has three hits for a 2-14 average.
Right-handed batter waiting on Ralph Terry. Here's the first pitch. He swings and sends a fly ball to center fiel.
Mannel is waiting on it. He's got it. There's two outs. Alloux goes out on the first pitch on a fly to Mickey Mannel.
Bring up the catcher, Tom Holler.
Tom's been to the plate seven times. He has three hits for a 4-29 batting average.
He has one home run and two runs batted in.
A scoreless ball game. We're in the top of the second inning. Two outs with no one on.
Here's the first pitch to Holler. Curve ball down low. One ball and a strike.
George, here's one for Noah looking for a slow curve ball. During batting practice they were taking at least six swings and he asked Larry Janssen for nothing but curve ball.
Janssen throws an overhanded curve ball much like the one Terry throws.
Here's the one in O-pitch. Fastball, he bunts it down the third baseline. If it stays fair, it is foul.
Boy, you're letting it roll. He had no chance to get him.
The slept-the-butt roll at the last moment just before it hit the bag and rolled outside the line.
That was the last thing in the world, Joe. The Yankees were looking for. It was a but.
And Holler had it beaten out.
Coming from that big catcher, boy, it was way back and you could understand why.
If it stays fair, he could walk down there. Yes, sir, that was the last thing they expected.
Here's the one-one pitch. Slow curve, he hits it on the ground foul down the first baseline.
This one's skipping into the corner where the umpire, Kim Burkhardt, sits up.
Oh, it's one ball, two strikes, Tom Holler.
Big, tall, left-handed hitting catcher.
A scoreless ball game. We're in the top of the second inning. The all-important fifth ball game of the series.
Here's the one-two pitch. Kirby hits this one foul over near the Yankee dugout. Still one ball, two strikes.
Tomorrow's an off day. Everybody traveling back to the coast in the World Series will open in Candlestick Park on Friday
for the sixth game of the series. Then game number seven, if necessary, will be played on Saturday.
Terry, into the wind-up. Here's the one-two pitch.
Slow curvy, hits it hard, Richardson scoops it up. Here's the throw to first, he's out.
A low liner, Bobby Richardson playing it on the short hop, flips it over to Bill Scower and in time to get his man.
Now runs, no hits, no arrows, no one left. And the score at the end of the first half of the second inning, a giants nothing to Yankees nothing.
Back with more action from this classic World Series game of 1962 after this.
Now listen, but listen quick, because it comes and goes just like that.
The Pennzoil Chaperrill, driven by national champion Johnny Rutherford.
Here it comes again, all bright and brilliant in its traditional Pennzoil yellow color.
That's a $40,000 engine that just roared by, turning out 9,500 tortuous RPMs.
Does it mile after mile after hard-running mile, race after race after race.
The Pennzoil Chaperrill, it has Pennzoil written on it and Pennzoil in it.
Perfection for a winner. Pennzoil Motor Oil, protection for cars like the Chaperrill and cars like yours.
Passport.
America has asked for Pennzoil since America has to drive.
Pennzoil, the ask for motor oil.
Pennzoil.
NBC Radio is presenting a rebroadcast of Game 5 of the 1962 World Series,
the San Francisco Giants versus the New York Yankees.
Elson Howard will lead off for the Yankees here in the bottom of the second inning,
followed by Bill Scowern, then Cleetus Boyer.
No scores we move into the bottom of the second.
The Giants have no runs, no hits, they've made two errors.
The Yankees no runs on one hit, they have no errors.
The Yankees had face runners all over the place in the first inning, but Sanford,
getting Marist on a flat left in the threat.
Here's Howard, a right-handed batter.
Three hits and ten trips for an even 300 batting average.
Giants flame straight away, deep in the outfield. Everybody back on the infield.
Here's a bitch. Inside a fastball, they got away from Sanford, almost hit him.
One ball and a strike. That one was high and tight.
The Loo made a great play on Howard earlier in this series on a land drive,
he hit the deep left field. Here's a bitch.
He swings and fouls it back, coming into the press box. One ball, one strike.
Yankees batting in the bottom of the second inning, no score in the ballgame.
Jack Sanford against Ralph Terry here this afternoon.
Got taking a little time, if he looks in. Here's a one-one pitch.
He swings and misses. That's curve ball breaking down and away to Howard.
One ball, two strikes.
Well, he's taking a couple of turns around the batter's box before he gets back in.
He knew it was a bad curve, but he'd gone too far with his swing. Here's a bitch.
Ball outside. Two and two to Howard.
Sanford thought he caught the corner with that one.
And the on-deck circle is Bill Scowrin for the Yankees.
Elston Howard right down on the end of the bat, waiting.
Sanford still looking in. Takes the long look. Now he's stepping off the rubber, and as he does, Elston Howard gets out.
A ball, two and a strike, two count. Here's the pitch, Daly. Curve, it's in the dirt.
This one gets away from Howard, going back to the screen. So it's three and two.
It's almost the same pitch that he got Elston to swing at before.
The pitchers have different ways of shaking the catcher's sign off. The easy way is they just nod your head, no.
The other way is to flick the glove. The one Sanford is using is where he's just staring to catch you around.
He keeps looking in until you give him the pitch that he wants.
He gets ready, and here's the three-two pitch. Now, swinging him is the tricky man.
Through the curve ball on the three-two pitch, and Elston Howard strikes out.
He's got number one for Sanford. He's one away, and the batter will be Bill Scarrant.
The Mousse has three hits and eight trips, 375 batting average. He has one run batted in.
We're in the bottom of the second inning. One out with no one on, no score in the game.
The batter delivers. Ball in tight. One ball to strike.
As Joe told you, the Giants scatter out all over the place for Bill Scarrant.
There's no way to play him. He gets to all fields. Here's the one and no pitch.
A swing and a miss, and the bat flies out of his hand. It goes all the way past Rossetti in the third base coaches box.
When he hit the triple over Willie Mayer's head, Mousse said that the first time Willie got on,
he said, come on, Mousse. I'm tired. Don't make me run.
461 in dead center field here, and they hit a ball over Willie Mayer's head.
You really have to tattoo it. Scarrant's tremendous power.
It's a one ball, one strike count for the Mousse. He gets his bat back.
Stepping in to face Sanford. Sanford is throwing a hard curve ball here today.
Here's the one, one pitch. That's ball down low. Ball two and strike one.
That's fast ball. He's trying to loose inside, moving them back.
It isn't hurting that curve ball either. He's got these guys going back a little bit and really snapping it off.
Jack gets ready. Here's the two, one pitch.
Ball, another one high and inside, and the Mousse, claiming he was hit for the pitch.
But Al Barlich says no, and Scarrant, protesting that the ball hit him on the hand as he was getting out of the way.
Al Barlich says no, but he did not. So Scarrant will be stepping back in with a ball three and a strike one count.
As Joe said, Sanford is keeping the fast ball in tight, and he's coming low and away with a curve ball to keep the Yankee batters off balance.
Bill stepping back in. Here's the three, one pitch.
Bowel ball back to the screen. Three and two, Scarrant.
Clay does boyers in the on-deck circle. Yankee's batting in the second inning, no score in the ball game.
Sanford threw a curve ball to Howard on the three-two pitch.
We'll be watching to see what he throws Scarrant in the spot.
You'll see Sanford change baseballs a lot during the course of the afternoon. Right now he's getting a new one.
He's one of those pitchers that just has to feel right in his hand, and all baseballs, of course, are supposed to be the same,
but there are little changes, like maybe a little higher seam, or it just doesn't feel right.
And if it doesn't, Sanford, he'll find that spot that doesn't feel right, and new baseball. He'll change a lot of them.
Here's the three-two pitch. Now, swinging him is the curve ball, and he's stuck him out.
Bill Scarrant strikes out on the curve, that's two outs, and the batter will be Clay Boyer.
Sanford refusing to give in to these batters, coming in to two straight hitters on a three-two count with a curve ball.
Here's Boyer, four hits and 13 trips.
That's been a big difference in this color's pitching. In other years, he gets three and two, he would just rear back and fire that great
fastball and match his fastball against the hitter, but against Howard and Scarrant, he just wouldn't give in to him,
and he went to the curve ball and got it over and got a big strikeout.
Here's the pitch to Boyer. A ground ball hit for the shortstop, for God has it. Here's a throw to first, he's out.
Waiters Boyer goes out, short to first. A run so hits, no errors, no one left, and the score at the end of two, the Yankees,
nothing in the Giants, nothing.
This original 1962 World Series broadcast will continue on the NBC Radio Network.
Wendys, ain't no reason to go, ain't no place else.

While at another famous establishment, people were actually eating something referred to as processed chicken.
Well, I said to my wife, Bambi and daughter, Buffy, some people just don't know what's real.

NBC Radio Sports is presenting a classic World Series broadcast.
Game 5 of 1962, featuring superstars Mickey Mantle, Roger Marris, Willie Mays and Willie McCuddy.
Well, at the end of two, the Yankees, no runs on one hit or no errors.
The Giants, no runs, no hits, and they've made two errors.
Jose Pagan, the shortstop, will be the leadoff, man.
He'll be followed by Jack Sandford, then Chuck Hiller.
Pagan has been to the plate ten times, he has five hits, one even 500 batting average.
Jose has driven in one run.
He was the man that broke the scoreless streak for a widey forward for the butt single.
The Yankees are going to play in close on the infield.
Jose, a fast-paced runner and a good runner.
Terry delivers a curve, he swings and misses. One strike.
Jose looked like he might have been waiting on the curve ball, he really had a riffle at it.
A one strike count.
Boy, you're moving in a little closer at third base.
Terry into the wind up, here's the pitch.
A line drive to center field, a shot up the middle, and Pagan, the first giant hit, a line shot to the field.
The runner at first with no one out, and the batter will be Jack Sandford, the pitcher.
Here's Jack coming on, a big round of applause for Sandford.
Oh, he's been quite a pitcher in this world series.
He's got the Yankees out in the second game of the series, two to nothing, he's blanked them through the first two innings here today.
Right now, he's checking with Whitey Lockman, the coach at third base, to see if the Buntzahn is in order.
Boyer evidently thinks so, he's right in on top of Sandford.
Here's the pitch, strike, he got a fast ball over.
Sandford squared around, ready to butt, pulled the bat back, and Barlich went up with the right hand.
He'll have to butt that ball on at first base line, George, the way Boyer is right in on top of him, unless Alvin Dries may want to switch off and start his man at first base.
The Yankees have a play that they use too, now it's a pick off play, and now we've got all kinds of conferences.
Sandford, Terry talking to Skowen, and Faghan and Jansen talking, and I'm sure Jansen is talking about that very play, which is one where Skowen will break in about four quick steps on a given signal,
and then break back towards the back and take the throw from the pitcher, hoping that they can get that base runner.
Well, we're ready to go, Sandford back in, a one strike count. Terry makes a quick throw to first, Faghan back in town.
Boyer still coming in, here's the pitch. He butts down the first base line, if the good one, Skowen picks it up, throws to Bobby Richardson.
In time for the out, as Faghan moves down the second base.
So the sacrifice works for the Giants, they have a runner in second with one out, and the batter will be Chuck Hiller, the second baseman.
Chuck Hiller walked to start this ball game. Left handed batter with a 267 batting average.
It was a grand slam home run by this fellow, that broke up the ball game on Monday.
Terry taking a little time as he looks in. Here's the first pitch, a swing and a foul, when bouncing out of the middle powered. One strike.
A scoreless ball game, we're in the top of the third inning. Each team with one hit.
Giants put Sandford in a hole in the first inning with two errors, but he pitched it out of it.
Chuck Hiller choking the bat. Waits on Terry. Here's the pitch.
He hits it to left field, it's going to be Travel Trash racing over, he can't get it. It bounces by, here's a run coming in. Hiller on his way to second.
Chuck Hiller sliced a foul ball down the left field line, Trash racing over near the line, couldn't get it, it bounced by him.
Bagon coming in to score, and Hiller raced the second with a double. So the Giants have taken a one to nothing lead here in the third inning.
The batter is Jim Davenport. Jimmy struck out his first time at bat. Right handed batter.
Terry delivers a fastball, a foul. One ball, no strike. Elston Howard calling time, and he races out to the mound for a conference with Terry.
So Chuck Hiller drives in the first run of this fifth game with a slicing double into the corner in left field.
And you can hear the Giants fans all over the stadium as they start their rhythmic applause.
These Giants have been able to use the little things in baseball and make them pay off. The little sacrifice bun here by Sanford moved the man in the scoring position.
In the first game where Terry and Sanford hooked up, it was a buncher, and that first inning after Hiller, it doubled, and set it up.
Sacrified bun by Philippe Alou, so the little bun, figuring very prominently.
Here's the pitch to Davenport. He swings and misses through the fastball line. One ball, one strike.
Pagan opened this inning with a single to center field. Jack Sanford sacrificed, and Chuck Hiller sliced a double to left.
Here's the one-one pitch. A ground ball hit the third. Boy, you're had to flip it over to Scowern in plenty of time to get Davenport, as Hiller has to hold on at second base.
Oh, there's two down, and the batter will be the right fielder, Maddie Alou. Maddie was a strikeout victim his first time at that.
But daily a left-hander is throwing in the bullpen for the Yankees in deep right field.
It's a one-to-nothing ball game. The Giants are out in front.
Hiller at second base with two outs. The pitch to Alou. Slow curve he hits and foul on the first baseline. One strike.
Maddie got out in front of that one, drilled it hard through the coach's box.
Terry getting a new baseball from Al Barlich. False time as he goes back to the Rosenberg.
One run on two hits for the Giants. No runs on one hit for the Yankees.
Maddie Alou standing in with a one strikeout. Terry delivers a curve. He hits it on the ground of the shortstop.
Cubak has it. Clips it to first. He is out on a close play. It was close as Alou was really flying down the first baseline.
One run in the inning on two hits. No errors. One man left in the score at the end of the first half of the third inning.
The Giants won. The Yankees nothing.
We'll be back with more exciting action from the fifth game of the 1962 World Series after this.
The Yankees.
And Heider Bush St. Louis.

And now more action from game five of the 1962 World Series.
Ralph Terry will lead it off for the Yankees in the bottom of the third inning, followed by Kubik and then Bobby Richardson.
A one-to-nothing ball game, the Giants are out in front.
A single by Pagano Sacrifice and a double by Chuck Hiller getting the run across in the top of the sitting.
Terry's a right-handed batter.
Sanford looking into Haller to get the sign. Here's the pitch to Ralph.
Passball right down the middle, one strike.
Ralph choking the bat as he waits on Sanford.
Here's the pitch. A curve he swings and misses. This one breaking down in the dirt. A strike two count.
Sanford has not been getting the curve ball over, but he's been getting the Yankee batters to swing at it, which is just as good.
Here's the pitch. He tries to bun, he missed it. So Terry is out on strike. Ralph was going to bunt with two strikes on him.
Sanford came in with another curve ball that broke down in the dirt. Terry bunnied at it and missed.
Strikeout number three for Sanford. It's one away and the batter will be Tony Kubik.
The difference in the curve ball has been that Terry's has been a slow one where the Giants have been able to follow it,
whereas Sanford has been going that hard curve ball, that dive bomber, and they've been kind of just nipping at it.
They haven't really been able to follow it. They've been breaking off the last minute.
Here's Kubik who lined a single to center field to open the ball game for the Yankees.
Left handed batter. Sanford delivers a fast ball that's in there. One strike.
One to nothing. The Giants lead the Yankees. We're in the bottom of the third inning. One out with no one on.
Sanford delivers a fast ball up high. One ball, one strike.
In the sixth game of this series, a candlestick park, Billy Pierce, will be the pitcher for the Giants
and more than likely Bill Stafford for the Yankees. Although Halk said he could use Whitey Ford if he desires.
Here's the one-one pitch. Outside again, ball two and strike one.
Very interesting question was asked of Halk. Newspaper man asked Halk if the outcome of this game would determine the pitcher.
Halk said I've made up my mind already. I know who's going to pitch, but I'm not going to announce it until the work out in San Francisco.
A ball two and a strike one count. The pitch to Kubik. He swings and pops it up into shallow center field.
Pagan is going out calling for it. The shortstop has it. Tony Kubik pops to the shortstop.
That's two down and the batter will be Bobby Richardson.
He's safe on an error back in the first inning. Chuck Hiller booted his ground ball.
Bobby has two hits and 18 trips. The Giants won. The Yankees nothing here in the third inning.
Sanford delivers a curve. It's high and inside. One ball, no strikes.
The Giants play Bobby straight away, not too deep. Bobby a line drive hitter will hit to all fields.
Here's the one and no pitch. A swing and a miss. One ball, one strike.
Sanford has the Yankees swinging at bad pitches today.
That's to his credit that he is so deceptive that it looks like a strike until the last moment.
Here's the two and one pitch. Outside a fast ball off the corner. Ball two and strike one.
Most of the bad pitches they've swung out have been breaking balls. Curves down and away.
Here's the two and one pitch. He swings and pops it up on the infield.
Willie McCovey at first base is calling for it. He's got it. The sides retired.
There's no hits, no arrows, no one left. Then the score. At the end of three, the Giants won. The Yankees nothing.
Game five of the World Series of 1962 continues after this.
Morning seems to start out better. You seem to go much better. When you start the day together. Maxwell House and you get better.
The taste of feeling like no other coffee. Always good to the last drop.
George brought his boss home for dinner with no warning. How'd it go? I had to work fast so I started a quiche.
Ate the rescue. Right, they're easy. Inelegant. And economical. You know what? 90 cents a dozen large eggs are just 60 cents a pound.
I know. Didn't my mother call? No, I left the cooking to George and his boss was so impressed he's moving him up in the company.
Really? Right. Up to the 10th floor restaurant, they need a new chef. The incredible, edible egg.

You're listening to a classic World Series from the archives of NBC Radio Sports. Game five of the World Series of 1962.
Oh, at the end of three, it's a one to nothing ball game. The giants are out in front of the Yankees. Willie Mays will lead off for San Francisco.
He'll be followed by Willie McCovey and then Fully Palou.
Mays lined the ball to trash in the first inning. He's over one in this game.
Willie with five hits and 18 trips to the plate.
Ralph Terry, looking in.
Here's the pitch to Willie. Curveball. He bounces it foul behind the plate. One strike.
The Giants picked up a run in a third inning. That's been the only scoring in this game.
A single by Pagan. A sacrifice, but and a double by Chuck Hiller getting the run in.
Here's the one strike pitch. Ball up. Willie checked his swing in time. One ball, one strike.
Giants have one run on two hits. The Yankees have no runs on one hit. Here's the one one pitch.
Strike two. Fastball over the inside corner. Willie stepped back. Al Barlich went up with the right hand.
One ball, two strike.
Terry ready. The pitch. A swing and a foul tip.
Terry coming in with a slow curve. Mays foul tipped it out of the mid of Elston Howard. Still a ball and two strikes.
Forge turned out to be a beautiful afternoon here in New York. Right sunshiney afternoon. A few clouds drifting back.
Terry into the windup. The pitch to Mays. Down low. Curve breaking down and away. The count is even at two and two.
Terry checks the sign. The two-two pitch. A swing and a miss. He's lucky about it.
Terry threw the fastball. Run on by Willie Mays.
Strikeout number four for Ralph. There's one away and the batter will be Willie McCovey. McCovey struck out his first time at that.
Both these pitchers so far have really had great control of all their pitches. That fastball is down in that outside corner.
Terry wanted to hit that corner as Howard gave him the target and he hit it.
Sanford has just been great with his control. McCovey a big left handed batter waiting.
Here's the first pitch. Curve ball. It's in there. One strike.
Terry struck McCovey out on a high fastball back in the second inning. Starts him off here in the fourth with a slow curve.
Ralph ready. The pitch. Inside. This one pushed him back. One ball. One strike.
A one to nothing ball game. We're in the fourth inning. Giants out in front.
Here's the one one pitch. Fastball hit on the ground foul over near the Yankee dugout. One ball two strikes.
The short right field fence here in Yankee Stadium makes a very inviting target to Willie McCovey.
Or sprints don't mean too much to this fellow when he gets a hold on it goes.
Terry checking the sign. He didn't like that when he steps off waving him to Howard to start over.
Here's the pitch. A ground ball hit to the second baseman Bobby Richardson as it's the throw to first. He's out.
Willie McCovey goes out second to first. Two down and the batter will be believe blue.
Beliefs on a fly ball to man on center field back in the second inning. Strong right handed batter.
He's been jumping on that first ball in the series. Hello and he's been in the ball hard.
This fellow has shown no concern at all for the Sunfield here in left field. Belief has been doing a wonderful job in left field.
Here's the pitch curve ball. It's in there one strike to a lose. Two outs with no one on in the top of the fourth inning.
The Giants one the Yankees nothing. Terry Pounds is the pitch.
Here's the pitch. Slow curve hit down the left field line. It is bear ball into the corner.
It gets by Trash. Here's the Luge on his way to second around second on his way to third.
Madel is throwing the ball in. They're going to hold him at third base.
Well a balloon lined one into the corner and left field. It carried off the fence.
Got by Tommy Trash and all the way into deep left center. Mickey Mantle backing up the play at the 402 sign.
Fired it into the infield and they held a Lue at third base.
Joe you can see the third base coach Whitey Lockman just waiting for the handling of the relay.
Kubeck was the middle man on that play and had Mantle not been able to hit the relay man.
With two outs you can bet that Whitey Lockman would have waved Al Luan.
But once Mantle hit his relay man Kubeck Lockman put up the stop sign with Kubeck through a strike
which was cut off by Skarn as it headed toward Delston Howard.
Here's Tom Haller the big catcher. Terry delivers a fast ball in tight. One ball no strikes.
Very alert fielding by Mantle. Otherwise a Lue would have had an inside the park home run.
As that ball hit the fence and skipped by Trash went all the way into left center. Here's the pitch.
Her ball it's in there. A ball and a strike to Haller.
A runner at third base with two outs here in the fourth inning. The Giants lead one to nothing.
Haller bounced to the second baseman his first time at bat. Terry into the wind up in the pitch.
Ball in tight. Ball two and strike one.
Both Skarn and Richardson are very deep and near the line for Haller playing him to pull all the way.
Here's the two one pitch. There's a liner to right. Marist racing in. He's there. Makes the catch.
Tom Haller lined the ball. Straight to Marist in right field. No runs on one hit. There were no errors.
One man left and the score at the end of the first half of fourth inning. The Giants won. The Yankees nothing.
Back with more action from this classic World Series game of 1962 after this.
Excuse me sir but what's that you're raising up there?
The prime rate going up today. I see. Some days it goes up. Some days it goes down.

NBC Radio is presenting a rebroadcast of Game 5 of the 1962 World Series, the San Francisco Giants versus the New York Yankees.
I'll look to one to nothing ball game. The Giants out in front of the Yankees as we go into the bottom of the fourth inning.
Tommy Trash will lead off. He'll be followed by Mickey Mantle and then Roger Maris.
The Yankees have but one hit off Jack Sanford. That was a single by Kubeck to open the ball game. The Giants have picked up three off Ralph Terry.
George, you remember the little things that was the second time at bat.
A candle stick that Trash tried to beat out the button, popped that ball up to Sanford.
They had a little bit of trouble with and ended up they basically form a button.
Here's the first pitch. Ball outside. One ball and no strike.
Tommy lined into a double play his first time at bat. He had a line drive right back to Sanford with runners at first and second and no one out.
Sanford then turned through to McCovey at first base, doubling off Richardson.
Here's the one in O-pitch. A curve ball. He hits it into shallow center field. Mays racing in fast. Maybe trouble early. It is in there. Here's Trash on his way to second.
He'll hold on at second base. Fagan, Killer and Mays all converging in shallow center field. Fagan got his glove on the ball. He couldn't hold it.
It scored as a two base hit for Tommy Trash.
Almost a great play by Fagan who came from nowhere. Stuck his glove right into the middle of the fielders and got his glove on it but he couldn't hold it.
Now the tying run for the Yankees at second base with no one out and the batter is Mickey Mantle.
Mickey was safe on an error this first time at bat. McCovey let his ground ball get away from him.
Sanford gets set. The pitch to Mantle. Ball down low. One ball and no strikes. Mickey's been to the plate 16 times and it sears with two hits.
He had a double off Sanford out in San Francisco. A double coming in the ninth inning in the game where Sanford wanted two to nothing.
Here's the one and no pitch. Strike. Ice ball across the outside part of the plate. One and one to Mickey.
Tommy Trash at second base with no one out. We're in the bottom of the fourth inning. The Giants lead one to nothing.
Another full house here at Yankee Stadium for this fifth ball game. The pitch to Mantle. He bumps it is foul. Mickey was going to drag one down the first baseline.
Both McCovey the first baseman and Hiller the second baseman playing deep but he fouled it back. It'll be one ball two strikes.
Charlie play down power putting a new baseball into play. Well that started infielders moving in all directions. McCovey and Hiller racing and Sanford going for first base and
howler was going right down the line. Realize the ball had gone foul for a moment. Here's the one two pitch outside. He tried to get the corner with a fastball. Two and two to Mickey.
One to nothing. The Giants lead the Yankees. Yankees have a runner at second base with no one out. We're in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Sanford taking a little time trying to get out of a tough spot. Comes to a set position. The pitch to Mantle. Outside. Mickey held up on it. Three and two to Mantle.
Roger Maris is waiting in the on deck circle. Yankees trying to get even in this ball game. Giants picked up a run in the third inning.
Sanford gets that. The three two pitch. Ball it's two and a half. He threw the curve ball and the three two pitch but he ended up having.
So Mantle goes to first base with a walk. Yankees have runners at first and second. No one out. And the batter will be Roger Maris.
It'll be interesting here Joe to see if the Giants go into the shift with two on and no one out.
A lot of things to think about. Just how would you set it up for Mantle though with a surprise attempt at bottom. Here's Maris with that wide open territory down.
And Devin Ford is in close like he's halfway expecting the body of Maris. We just pushed the ball. We're liable to see some real students camping around here.
They do have the shift on Joe. Mantle at first base. Trash it's second. No one out here in the bottom of the fourth inning. The Giants lead one to nothing.
Maris fly to left field his first time at bat. Jack gets ready. The pitch. Ball outside. Barley starting to go up with the right hand.
You can see the pitch was very close and Sanford thought it should have been a strike. One ball to strike.
Why Sanford has done a great job in this series hitting that outside corner against these big left handed batters.
Especially when he was behind on a ball to and a no strike count. Here's the pitch to Roger. Curveball outside. Ball to strike.
Strutting to hang his curveball just a bit. The curveball. Mantle when he walked was high. This one hung. Haller went out just handed in the ball.
Pagana is going in to talk to him. There's nothing more than just trying to break the mood of the mound.
This is a big pitch right here Joe for Jack Sanford. He has two on with no one out. He's behind Maris with a ball to and a no strike count.
And just hung a curveball. What do you do with your Haller? Do you call for the fastball against the good fastball hitter?
Well we'll know here it is. Fastball outside. Three and oh to Maris. Jack was trying to hit the corner.
Look at that Maris George. He's looking at cross-setting as if he's saying please let me hit.
Well we'll find out if the hit side is on. Roger's right down on the end of the bat. Now ball three and a no strike count.
The runner's edge off. Here's the pitch. Strike he got the fastball over.
Three and one to Maris. Roger was taking on it. Gave no indication he was going to swing.
One thing it was not right down the middle. He got it a little bit on the outside part of the plate around the knees.
Sanford looking in. Here's the pitch to Maris. He swings and hits a bouncer to McCabe. He's going the second for one out.
The first he is safe in first base. And a good play at first base by Sanford who had to make a diving stop of Fagon's throw.
Willie McCabe trying to make the double play. Fired the ball down to Fagon.
He's out on mantle but the relay back to first base with Sanford covering was wide at the back and Sanford had to make a diving stop.
Well the Yankees have runners at first and third with one out and the batter will be Elston Howard.
Trash at third base. Roger Maris at first.
Howard struck out his first time at bat.
He stands deep in the batter's box and about as far away from the plate as any batter in the series.
Sanford checks the runners. The pitch. There's a swing in a miss. He gets the fast ball by. One strike to Howard.
One run on three hits and two errors for the Giants. The Yankees have no runs on two hits and they have no errors.
Sanford taking a little time as he looks around. It's been a tough spot here in the fourth inning.
Here's the pitch. Her down low. One and one to Howard.
Tom Trash opened the inning with a pop fly double and a shallow center field. Mickey Mantle drew a walk.
Roger Maris then slammed the ground ball to McCovey who threw down the second for the force out on mantle.
Now it's one ball one strike count to Elston Howard.
Sanford gets set.
Now he steps off. Luffing Maris back to first base and as he does Elston Howard gets out.
Giant infiel back for the double play with the exception of McCovey who's holding against the runner at first.
Here's the one one pitch. He swings a miss. A curve by him around the knees.
One ball and two strikes to Howard.
Sanford really surveined before he makes his pitch and he could go to one more. He's been moving the right hand hitters back with the fast ball
and then snapping an outside corner with the curve ball. And he's in a good shape right now with the two strike one ball count
and set up the two two pitch. He's ready again. Here it is. A swing and a miss.
Elston Howard strikes out on a high fast ball so there's two down and the batter will be Bill Scarran.
A big strikeout for Sanford. Relieves the pressure a little bit. Still two on with two outs.
Scarran struck out his first time at bat.
It's easy to see how the Sanford won 24 ball games.
There's a quick throw to first Maris back in town.
He just pitches his own game. He doesn't let the hitters or the situation change his pattern. He pitches his game. He won't give in to him.
The pitch to Scarran. It's in the dirt. It gets away from the catcher. Here's a run coming in. The throw to the plate is not in time.
It will be a wild pitch charged against Sanford as the curve ball bounced in front of the plate, skipped away from Howard
and Trash comes in to score as the Yankees finally break through in the scoring column against Sanford in this World Series.
It's all tied. One run apiece. Maris moves down to second.
Back to Sanford getting set again. Here's the pitch. The curve it's in there. Run of the knees. One ball, one strike.
The Giants won. The Yankees won in the bottom of the fourth. Yankees have a runner at second base with two outs.
Sanford very much disgusted with himself as he covered home plate on that one. He saw he had no chance to get Trash to slam the ball into his glove.
Here's a fast ball high and inside. Scarran has to get out of the way. Ball two and strike one. A double, a walk, a ground ball and a wild pitch getting a run in here in the fourth.
A one one ball game. Here's the pitch to Scarran. He swings and misses. Curve ball around the knees. The count is even at two and two.
The Giants play Scarran a little bit to right field. Here's the two-two pitch. A curve ball he struck him out. Scarran goes down swinging.
One run on one hit in the inning. Whereas one man left in the score at the end of four, the Giants won the Yankees won.
We'll be back with more exciting action from the fifth game of the 1962 World Series after this. And now more action from Game 5 of the 1962 World Series.
Hi, baby. Which one is he? This one with no hair. Looks quite a bit like me. The no hair part does. He looks like a 38-year-old uncle. Life will be changed again. He looks so helpless. Have you got new insurance?
No, not new insurance, but I adjusted our policy. I have an adjustable license. Do you mind if I cover it? Sure, cover it.
Well, this baby, when the last baby was born, I did the same thing, just adjusted it. When I bought my house, when we started the business, I'd just pick up the phone and say, hey, Mr. Banker's Life, adjust my policy.
But any significant change I've had in my life. I just buy a new policy. Well, that's difficult. I have a collection. I used to smile at it.
Adjustable life insurance from the Banker's Life of Des Moines. As your life changes, you can change how much insurance you've got or how much you pay without adding policies. You simply adjust your policy as your needs change. In life, you've got to adjust. The Banker's Life of Des Moines. We're in the ill-opages.
And now more action from Game 5 of the 1962 World Series.
Well, we move along. A 1-1 ballgame as we go into the top of the fifth inning. One run, three hits and two errors for the Giants. The Yankees one run on two hits and they have no errors.
Jose Pagan will lead it off for the Giants in the fifth inning. He'll be followed by Sanford and then Chuck Hiller. Pagan singled in the third and scored the Giants run, coming around on a double by Hiller.
Right-handed batter facing the right-hander, Ralph Terry.
Here's the first bench. Strike, fastball over the outside corner.
A one strike count.
Jose out of the box for just a moment. He's checking with Boyer at third base. Boyer Cleat moves back a couple of steps. He's going to be bunning. Here's the bench.
He swings and hits a long belt to left field. It's well hit. This one is going it. Gone. A home run.
Jose Pagan just got a high curve ball and drove it deep into the lower deck and left field and the Giants have taken a 2-1 lead.
Jack Sanford the batter. Back sacrifice his first time at bat. He swings and pops it up on the infield. Bobby Richardson at second base is waiting on it.
He's got it. There's one away. Sanford swinging on the first bench. Pops to second base.
Bring up the second baseman, Chuck Hiller.
Nice round of applause for Sanford as he goes back to the dugout. A lot of Giants fans here at Yankee Stadium this afternoon.
Here's Hiller. He walked in the first inning. Drove a double to left field in the third and drove in a run.
Ralph Terry delivers a curve outside. One ball and no strikes. Plus the Giants 2 and the Yankees 1. We're in the top of the fifth inning.
Here's the one and no pitch. Strike the fastball right down the middle. One ball, one strike.
Hiller a little left handed batter. Chokes the bat.
The pitch. He swings and lands it straight to the first baseman. Bill Scarron taking the line shot off the bat of Chuck Hiller.
He's down and the batter will be Jimmy Davenport. Jimmy struck out in the first inning. Bounce the third base in the third.
Two outs with no one on here in the fifth inning. Terry delivers. Ball down low. One ball and no strikes.
Jimmy Davenport waiting on Ralph Terry. Here's the one and no pitch. Strike. It was a slider off the outside corner.
One of the few sliders that Terry has delivered today. And throwing mostly slow curves. A few fast curves in the good live fastball.
Here's the one, one pitch. Curve ball. He bounces it foul down the third baseline. Whitey Lachman coming over to pick it up.
One ball and two strikes. Jose Pagan open the inning with a long home run into the left field seats.
Sanford pops the second. Hiller lying to the first baseman. Terry gets ready. Here's the one, two pitch.
A swing in them is. He struck him out. Jimmy Davenport strikes out. One run on one hit. No errors, no one left in the score.
The first tie at the fifth inning. The Giants two and the Yankees one. Game five of the World Series of 1962 continues after this.
Music playing.
You're listening to a classic World Series from the archives of NBC Radio Sports. Game five of the World Series of 1962.
Music playing.
Well, we move along into the bottom of the fifth inning. The Giants out in front by a score of two to one.
Cleat Boyer will be the leadoff man for the Yankees. He'll be followed by Ralph Terry and then Tony Kubeck.
Boyer bounced to the shortstop his first time at that. Sanford gets ready. Here's the pitch. Fair ball. It's in there. One strike.
Boyer started to swing held up. Al Barley said he cut the corner.
Well, the Giants got one in the third, one in the fifth. The Yankees picked up one in the fourth inning.
Here's the pitch to Cleat. Outside a fastball off the corner. One ball, one strike.
Little Jose Pagán has been the hitting hero for the Giants in this game. He singled and scored the first run.
And he had a home run to break a one-one tie here in the top of the fifth inning.
Here's the pitch to Boyer. He swings and misses. Cleat was trying to hit that one in the right field as Sanford is getting the fastball over the outside corner.
Cleat was going to try to drive it down the right field line. One ball, two strikes.
Sanford delivers a curve. He bounces it down the first baseline. McCovey flips it over to Sanford. He's out.
Willie McCovey moving in to pick up the bouncing ball. But over to Jack Sanford who's covering the bag.
And Cleat Boyer is out number one.
Bring up the pitcher, Ralph Terry.
Ralph was his right-gout pick for the first time in fact.
Terry wants Al Barlick to have a look at the baseball. Jack tosses it in and Al says we'll put a new baseball into play.
I think Terry might have been pitching with that ball a little Joe and he knows something.
You've seen that happen a hundred times. It's all right when you've got that ball in your pitch and then you come in.
The first thing you do is tell your hitter to leave it off to you and take a look at that baseball.
Boyer didn't look at it but Terry made sure that Barlick would give it a real quick check.
They don't mind throwing that dirty baseball. They don't like to hit at it, do they?
No sir.
Now we're ready to go. Sanford into the windup. Here's the pitch. He swings and misses.
Boy Sanford is not playing fair with Terry at all. He's throwing him nothing but curve balls.
And a hard curve ball. It's not a big roundhouse. Slow breaking curve ball. It's a real good snapper.
Here's the one strike pitch. Fast ball up high.
One and one to Ralph. We're in the bottom of the fifth inning. There's one out with no one on.
The Giants lead the Yankees two to one.
Ralph Terry standing in. One ball, one strike.
Here's the pitch. A swing and a foul. This one back on the screen.
One ball, two strikes.
The Giants scored in the third to go out in front. One to nothing. The Yankees tied it in the fourth.
And Paghan hit a home run here in the top of the fifth to put the Giants in front.
Here's a curve down low. Two and two to Terry.
That's the pitch the Yankees have been swinging at today. The low curve ball but Terry laid off this one.
The Giants have out hit the Yankees four to two.
Here's the pitch. A ground foul down the first baseline.
Still two and two to Terry.
Well, the Mars and off day. Everybody moving back to San Francisco.
Game number six will be played at Candlestick Park on Friday.
And game number seven, if necessary, will be played on Saturday at Candlestick Park.
Game number seven, if necessary, will be played on Saturday at Candlestick Park.
Jack Sanford checking the sign.
Here's the two to pitch. He's swinging a miss. He struck him off. Terry goes down swinging.
Right-gout number six for Jack Sanford.
Two away on the batter will be Tony Kubeck.
Sanford struck out six and the ball gave him a shut-up out, George.
So apparently he's got a few of his stuff, if not better. I kind of think one thing that the Yankee hitters are doing is they didn't do at Candlestick.
They're chasing the bad ball. So Sanford has a bigger strike zone. Let's put it that way to work with.
Here's the pitch to Kubeck. He swings and fouls it back. One strike to Tony.
He's singled in the first inning, popped to the shortstop in the third.
It could be, Joe, that the background here, well, it is much tougher than it is in Candlestick Park,
is one of the reasons for swinging at so many bad pitches.
You pick the ball up, but then you lose it when it starts to break and we're swinging at the bad curves.
The right-hand hitters seem to be losing it from the middle of the plate out.
Sanford into the wind-up. The pitch to Tony. Strike two. He got the fast ball over. A strike two count.
Tony Kubeck, the batter in the bottom of the fifth inning with two outs and no one on. The Giants leading two to one.
Sanford into the wind-up. The pitch. Curve ball. He bounces it foul down the first baseline.
Still strike two.
While you talk about confusion, Joe, do you think there might have been a little confusion at the airline just today
with all the cancellations and changing tickets around, everybody ready to move out last night?
Boy, I said it was confusion beginning right here and I don't know where it ended up,
if it ended at all because everybody was really hopping around here.
The four clubhouse men, they didn't know what to do.
How about the hotels where everybody checked out and then racing back?
Here's the pitch. A swingin' of his. He struck him out on a bad pitch.
Tony Kubeck goes down swinging. Now runs no hits, no arrows, no one left on the score.
The end of five, the Giants to the Yankees one.
Back with more action from this classic World Series game of 1962 after this.
We're here at Nick's Health Spa with the new Canon MP400F system copier. Nick, people exercise here?
Yes, reduce, reduce and enlarge the muscle tone.
That's exactly what the Canon MP400F does and more.
It enlarges the muscle tone?
No, no, it has two reduction modes and one enlargement mode.
Watch, these giant plans are ledger size. We can reduce them to legal even down to letter size.
At 40 letter size copies a minute, the MP400F is the fastest contact system copier.
Looks like a pretty fit machine.
That's because it's a desktop copier. It also feeds and has an optional throrter.
So if you want to reduce, reduce or enlarge your copies, this machine could do it?
Yes, it also feeds, feeds and sorts.
I bet it doesn't sweat.
No, it don't sweat.
What, is he if I go pick it up?
No.
The Canon MP400F, the fastest contact system copier. My chronix makes it simple.
N.V.C. Radio is presenting a rebroadcast of Game 5 of the 1962 World Series, the San Francisco Giants versus the New York Yankees.
The N.V.C. Giants have two runs on four hits and they've made two arrows.
The Yankees have one run on two hits and they have no arrows.
Matty Alou will be the leadoff man for San Francisco. He'll be followed by Willie Mays and then Willie McCovey.
Matty struck out in the first inning. In the third inning he bounced to the shortstop, Kubek.
Matty a left-handed batter.
Terry ready? Here's the first pitch.
He fonts down the first baseline. Scarron moves in, picks it up, steps on the bag.
Well, the only way they could get him there, he funded the ball right to Scarron who fielded the ball standing on the bag.
He'd have to move a couple of steps. Alou would have been on.
It's one away and the batter will be Willie Mays.
Willie has lined a left and struck out in two trips.
Mays still a great favorite here in New York.
Terry delivers a curve down low. One ball, no strikes.
We're in the top of the sixth inning. The Giants lead two to one.
Terry into the wind up. The pitch. He swings and hits a fly ball into center field.
Mantle going back, back. He's there. Makes the catch.
The ball was hit a long way into straightaway center field.
Two down and the batter will be Willie McCovey.
Mantle had to travel some 400 feet to get that one.
There's McCovey who struck out in the second inning. Bounce to the second baseman in the fourth inning.
Big left handed batter. Terry delivers a curve down low. One ball, no strikes.
Without using the shift, the Yankees are about as far over as they can get.
Richardson way over on the grass. Cowan guards the line. Coupey just about behind the back of the second base. They play McCovey to really pull.
There's another curve down low. This ball too, no strikes.
Terry trying to get McCovey, just swinging a bad curve ball, maybe beat it into the dirt.
Willie says you've got to come in with it, Ralph.
There's the two and no pitch. There's another curve. It's in there.
Slow curve ball that just floated over the plate. Ralph has pulled a string on some curves today, but he almost held that one as it just floated up there.
I could have a string on the end of it and he just yanked it back. You think McCovey would have had a pretty good cut at a fastball joint?
I believe he was ready, Joe. Here's the two-one pitch.
Fastball hit deep to right field. Marist going back. He's got the room on it and makes the catch.
Willie McCovey flying to Marist in right field.
Runs no hits, no arrows, no one left and the score at the end of the first half of sixth inning. The Giants two and the Yankees one.
This original 1962 World Series broadcast will continue on the NBC radio network.
When you're faced with tedious grass trimming chores, stand up to your lawn with a weed eater trimmer from True Value Hardware stores.
Hi, Pat Summerall to tell you the Snippy model is the ideal choice for average lawns because it quickly trims a 10-inch path and weighs just 3.5 pounds for less tiring operation.
For larger jobs, get the weed eater Needy Trimmer that trims and sweeps a 16-inch path.
Both of these time and work savers feature tap and go heads and are available at participating True Value Hardware stores and home centers.
NBC Radio Sports is presenting a classic World Series broadcast. Game 5 of 1962 featuring superstars Mickey Mantle, Roger Marist, Willie Mays and Willie McCovey.
Well, it's the bottom of the sixth inning. The Giants lead 2-1. Bobby Richardson will lead off for the Yankees to be followed by Tommy Trish and then Mickey Mantle.
Sanford ready and here's the first pitch. A ground ball, it's slowly down the third baseline. Sanford has it. Here's the throw. He is safe at first base.
Bobby Richardson, top one down the third baseline. Sanford hussled off the mound, picked it up, seemed to lose his balance a little bit.
Then he had to make an off-balance throw to McCovey and it was too late to get Bobby Richardson.
He didn't feel single. It's a runner at first base with no one up and the batter will be Tommy Trish.
Trish lined to the pitcher in the first inning, lined into a double play as Sanford speared his line drive.
In the fourth inning he doubled and scored the lone Yankee run.
The Giants are looking for the bun. Davenport is in close at third base. Sanford gets set. There's a quick throw to first. Richardson back in time.
That was hit number three off Sanford. Giants have picked up four off Ralph Terry. Another throw to first.
A lot of times you'll ask your pitcher to throw over to first base hoping that the first movement the hitter will keep his hands because instinctively he'll slide him up if he's bunning.
Trish gave no indication he would be bunning so he's doing a good job.
Here's the pitch. Ball down low. Tommy squared around as Joe said while he was throwing the first he gave no indication.
But as Sanford delivered to the plate Trish squared around ready to bun. Took the pass ball down low. One ball no strike.
When you've got batters like Mannel and Merris coming up and your one run behind I guess you got to give him a chance Joe with that bun.
You got to get those cannons up there. Here's the one in no pitch. He butts at his foul. This one up in the air coming back on the screen. One ball one strike.
He's going to have to butt down the first base line unless it's a real good one because Davenport is right on top of it.
Sanford's not giving him a good ball upon a real high riding hard fastball and Trish banning left hand will really have to tilt that bat to get it down to McCovey who takes over Willie a little bit of time to get started at first base.
We're getting action in the bullpen for the Giants. Don Larson the big right hander is throwing. Here's the pitch. Trish butts down the first base line. It's a good one. McCovey bobbled it. Here's the throw. He is out on a close play.
Willie McCovey bobbled the ball for just a moment quickly picked it up and threw to Hiller in time to get Tommy Trish.
Richardson moves to second on the sacrifice. One out and the batter is Mickey Mantle.
Mantle has been on twice today. Safe on an air in the first inning. He walked in the fourth. The Giants are leading two to one. We're in the bottom of the sixth inning.
The tying run for the Yankees at second base with one out.
Giants deep and around to the right for Mickey who's batting left handed against the right hander Jack Sanford. Here's the first pitch. Strike the overhand curve ball in the knees.
The Giants pitchers in this World Series have made some great pitches on Mantle. They've been getting the curve ball around the knees. They've been keeping the fast ball on the outside part of the plate. Absolutely nothing here in Yankee Stadium that he can pull.
Sanford gets set. Here's the pitch. Outside. One ball, one strike.
Mickey, of course, is looking for something from the center of the plate to the inside part. And he can get around on and pull toward these friendly right field seats.
Only 296 right down the line moves out the 344 directly behind the outfielder. A very inviting target for these left handed batters.
And the same goes for the Giants. Willie McCovey especially. Here's the one one pitch. Mickey swings and hits a bouncing ball to second base.
Hiller has it, but to McCovey he's out. Mantle goes out second to first as Roger Maris becomes the batter.
A runner at third base in two outs. Maris has fly to left and bounce to the first baseman in two trips.
Howler, Joe, going out to the mound now. He's got to remind Sanford to make sure that Maris pulls that ball. You can't give him a ball that he can handle where he can punch it through the shortstop spot because they're going into the shift again.
And Howler impressing I'm sure on Sanford's mind to make sure that he has a tough ball to handle if he wants to go that way. We've got to make sure he pulls that ball because everybody's on the right side.
The shortstop spot is vacated and with Richardson at third base all they need is a little squib round ball and a big tie and run would score. Let's see what happens, George.
A runner at third base with two outs. Sanford pitching from the stretch. Now wait a minute, he's stepping off. It could be that he forgot there.
Looks like he was going to try to hold Richardson close, but as soon as he went into the stretch he stepped off the rubber. Sometimes a pitcher will do this.
Just forgetting that he doesn't have a runner at first base. Here's the pitch to Maris. Strike the fastball on the outside corner.
Well that was a pitch for Rodge to punch through that hole as Sanford threaded a needle on the outside part of the play. They're daring Maris. No doubt about that.
Rodge right down on the end of the bat. The tying run is at third base with two outs.
Took off two signs. Hallis started a new sequence and Maris backed out now.
Sanford taking a little time gets ready. Here's the pitch. Outside. Maris was ready to bunt. He was going to push one.
The pitch was way outside. One ball, one strike. Rodge trying to figure out a way to get this tying run in. The Giants are leading two to one.
Giants really can't believe Maris will be up to the pull-at ball. The first two pitches been outside.
Here's the one-one pitch. Outside again. A fastball off the corner. Joe they're not only playing in part of right field, but they're pitching him outside. Really giving him something he can hit through the hole.
They just determined that Maris will not change his swing in part of that ball. So the top ball of the ball is one of the easy to send through the slide.
Here's the two-one pitch. A swing and a foul. Here's a nice and out of foul. Here's a run coming in. He is safe at the plate.
Roger Maris swung and missed. The ball popped out of the middle of Haller and rolled behind the plate.
Richardson raced in. Haller picked it up through to Sanford. A very close play at the plate.
And Barlich has ruled him safe and Haller and Sanford are protesting the call. Sanford thought he had him.
It'll be a fastball charged against Haller. And here's Dart coming out. It looked like a foul tip that topped off the myth of Haller.
But Barlich quickly gave the sign he did not foul. The ball in Richardson, very alert at third base, took the sign and raced in.
Haller made a quick recovery through the ball to Sanford who put the tag on Bobby, but it was too late.
So we have a brand new ball game. It's all tied at 2-2. A fastball charged against Tom Haller. The first Yankee run in this game.
Coming on a wild pitch. Dart now leaving the mound. He's just trying to settle his picker down because both runs have scored one a wild pitch in the fastball.
But in this inning, George, not a ball, has left the infield. A little squibber down the third base line by Richardson. He beat it out.
A sacrifice by Thresh. A ground ball by Mandelmoog. Richardson the third and now they pass ball and that ball hasn't gone more than four or five feet from home plate.
They've tied it up. WTJ Milwaukee.
I believe Joey crossed him up. I think he was looking for the curve ball. He got the fastball. That's why it popped out of his mid.
Could have been that. There's the 2-2 pitch to Maris. He swings and hits the ground ball to second base.
Haller makes a good play. The third or first, he's out. Roger Maris goes out, second to first.
One run on one hit. There were no errors. No one left and the score at the end of six. The Giants two and the Yankees two.
We'll be back with more exciting action from the fifth game of the 1962 World Series after this.
A lot of good people work for commercial credit. That's what makes commercial credit work.
I remember once a man and his wife came to me and their son had fallen through a play glass window.
They had no insurance. The medical bills were piling up and they could not get along. And we talked for over two hours.
They expressed sincerity to me. He was a good, hardworking man, raising a family and they needed help.
And we helped him. Which proves a point, I think, about commercial credit. Because on paper, they did not look like a good credit risk.
We gave them the loan they needed. They knew that I cared about their problem because obviously anybody that has kids can relate to the way they felt.
Their son came home in two weeks and they've been friends of mine ever since.
And people with care and confidence, people lack commercial credit and make the difference.
And now more action from Game 5 of the 1962 World Series.
Well, a 2-2 ball game as we go into the seventh inning. The Giants have two runs on four hits. They've made two errors. And the Yankees have two runs on three hits and they have no errors.
Now a double and a home run getting the two Giants runs in and the Yankees have scored on a wild pitch and a fast ball.
Philippe Alou will lead off with a Giants in the seventh inning. He'll be followed by Tom Haller and then Jose Pagan.
Here's a pitch. A ground ball up the middle. Cubak racing over. He can't get it.
It'll be a single for Alou. He's going to try for two but now he goes back as Madel hustles the ball in.
Philippe took a big turn. Madel racing in. Fixed the ball up and sent Philippe right back to first base.
So the lead run at first base with no one out here in the seventh inning. And the batter is Tom Haller.
Tom is called as Jansen comes up with a few words of advice for Haller.
Tommy has bounced a second and lined a ride in two trips.
Terry gets that. Here's a pitch. Her ball is in there. One strike to Haller.
The hit by Alou was number five off Terry. They about hit the Yankees five to three.
Ready the pitch. Here's a long drive. It is a foul ball. Tom Haller has driven one deep into the right field.
Just fouled by a few feet.
You could see that Elton Howard didn't particularly like that pitch. He's out there talking to Terry.
It was a belt nine fastball inside part of the plate and then Haller really got a round on it.
He's trying to full run ball all the way. Hoping he can get a first and third situation with the base hit the right field.
Howard out now talking to Terry and actually follows him right to the mound to complete the conversation.
Here's the attendance today. Just announced 63,165. 63,165 that paid attendance here today.
Two strike count to Tom Haller. Terry delivers. There's a high pop flat down the third base line.
Boyer chasing it in foul territory and he makes the catch a one handed catch by Cleat Boyer and he almost made a wild throw to second base.
Boyer fired the ball to Richardson as he thought Alou was going down and Bobby had to leap high into the air to get it.
So Haller is out on the foul flat. There's one away and the batter will be Jose Pagan.
Pagan has been the hitting hero for the Giants. He's singled and scored a run in the third inning and in the fifth inning he had a home run that broke the 1-1 tie.
Twice in this ball game the Giants have gone in front.
These Giants have like to get fan foot up there and they've got good speed on the bases and believe it's Alou this fellow can handle that bad so it's not without the possibility of putting a play on as far as Alvin D'Art is concerned.
Terry checks his runner. The pitch to Pagan. Here's a fly ball hit down the left field line. Terry tries racing and Cubak is there and Cubak makes the catch.
Jose Pagan pulled one down the left field line just outside the line. Boyer, Tresch and Cubak all there and Cubak made the catch.
So there's two down and the batter will be Jack Sanford.
Listen to the applause for Sanford as he comes out.
Jack sacrificed in the third inning. In the fifth inning he popped the second baseman. 0-1 officially.
Terry delivers a curve at the pass. One ball no strike.
That high curve ball again Joe and Jack was ready for. He saw that country boy had high curve ball and he's going to get your top limbs.
A runner at first base with two outs here in the seventh inning. Here's the pitch.
A ground ball up the middle. It's in the center field. Alou makes a big turn. He's on his way to third.
The man will throw and come to second base. Jack Sanford. A ground ball up the middle in the center field.
Alou racing the third. The Giants have runners at first and third with two outs and the batter will be Chuck Hiller.
Hiller has been a tough man for Terry. He walked in the first, doubled and drove in a run in the third and he lined hard to scour him in the fifth inning.
Here's the pitch. Ball up pass. One ball and no strike.
But daily a left hander is drawing the bullpen for the Yankees. Giants are threatening here in the seventh inning. The 2-2 ball game.
They have runners at first and third with two outs. Here's the one and no pitch. A ground ball right back to the mound.
Terry has just begun a first-season. Hiller goes out, pitcher to first. No runs on two hits. There were two men left in the fourth inning. The first half of seventh inning. The Giants two and the Yankees two.
Game five of the World Series of 1962 continues after this.
Maybe it's just cold, Gordon.
It's not cold. It's old. I should have traded it in last year.
But why don't we trade it in right now?
Now have you seen how high the prime rate is? It'll start.
If the bank prime rate is keeping you out of a new car, ask your GM dealer about GMAC. GMAC has financing right now at rates that make sense.
So get that new Chevy Pontiac, Oles, Buick, Cadillac or GMC truck you want with help from GMAC, the financing people from General Motors.
And Hyderbush St. Louis.
You're listening to a classic World Series from the archives of NBC Radio Sports. Game five of the World Series of 1962.
George Allside up here at 2-2 and a lot of plays while fishing past Walgerson. They hit the official scores it had to rule on and we'd like to give credit to him. The official scores for the ball game Bob Stevens of the San Francisco Chronicle,
Silver Denzi of the New York Journal of American and Ray Kelly of the Philadelphia Bulletin.
They've been three busy guys out here this afternoon.
Alright Joe, now we move into the bottom of the seventh inning. It's all tied at 2-2. Elston Howard will lead off to the Yankees. He'll be followed by Bill Scowern, then Cleetis Boyer.
Jack Sanford delivers a curve. It's lined down the left field line. It is fouled back into the crowd.
Elston Howard cuts the curve ball and lined it deep to left but he pulled it down. Howard's been to the plate quiet. He's stuck out both times against Sanford.
Here's a pitch. Down low. One ball, one strike.
Sanford has seven strikeouts in this ball game and six of those seven coming against three batters. He has Howard twice, Scowern twice and Ralph Terry twice. Tony Cuback was the seventh strikeout victim.
Sanford looks in. Here's the one-one pitch. Inside a fastball to tight. Ball two and strike one.
We're in the bottom of the seventh inning. The Giants two and the Yankees two and it's all important fifth game.
Here's the two-one pitch. Strike two. He got the fastball over. The counters even at two and two to Howard.
He's only protesting just a little bit. The Al Barley could about to call on that one.
The Giants about hit the Yankees six to three. Here's the pitch. Upside. And now it is Sanford that is hollering. He wanted that pitch as he got the curve ball. He thought over the outside corner and Barley says a little bit outside to his three and two.
You see that Howard and Sanford both using the pattern they're going to go by the same pitching pattern that they've been using until Howard shows them he can hit it. And they went with a fastball inside and a curve ball as how you lay off that pitch.
You wonder if it's certainly outside because Howard was sure it was outside. He laid off completely. And Al Barley, the plate umpire, didn't hesitate and he called it ball three right now.
A full count to the leadoff man. Al Barley right down on the end of the bat waiting. Here's the pitch. Bow ball back on the screen and that was a bad pitch. High on him side. Howard was trying to get out of the way of it and the ball hit his bat.
He's a bit disgusted now. He was leaning George. I don't know. Well, you won't know until you ask him. But I suspect my bottom dollar he was looking for a breaking ball.
He was going in and it was way high under his chin and his bat had already started forward.
Still three and two to Elston Howard. Sanford into the wind up. Here's the pitch. A ground ball hit to the shortstop. Fagon has it. Here's the throw to first. He's out. Howard goes out. Short to first.
He's one away and the batter will be Bill Scowren. The moose has been to the plate flies and he struck out both times.
Sanford has been a tough man on these big right handed batters. Joe told you keeping the curve ball low and on the outside part of the plate.
Here's the pitch. A swing and a miss. He got the fastball by one strike.
Bottom of the seventh inning. One out with no one on. The Giants two and the Yankees two. Here's the pitch. Curve ball is in there. Strike two to Bill Scowren.
Getting a little cloudy and overcast. Here's Yankee Stadium. A big black cloud over and over the stadium. We still have a little sunlight as the sun keeps in and out every now and then.
No rain forecast for this area today. Here's the two strike pitch. Inletters scooped up by dollars. One ball two strikes.
Here's a spoiler waiting in the on deck circle. Sanford taking a little time. Looking into howler. Here's the one two pitch. Curve down low.
Here's the moose to go for the bad curve ball. The counters even a two and two. The two Yankee runs in this game. One coming on a wild pitch. Another on a fastball.
They have been having trouble with Jack Sanford. Here's a curve in the dirt. Three and two to Bill Scowren.
One and four to the dollar. One and four hits the dirt. Especially a curve ball. The spin will carry it in an opposite direction. Sanford will break back towards the plate and all you can do is get in front of it and hope that the ball stays near you.
Moose right down on the end of the bat. Waiting. Here's the pitch. It's swinging a bit. Sanford coming in with a curve ball again and Scowren strikes out at number eight for Jack.
Here's the ball. The bat will be Boyer.
Play does Boyer has bounced the shortstop into the first baseman in two trips. The pitches in the dirt. One ball. That's right. Sanford having a little trouble with his curve ball here. Bounced a few up the setting but he got the three two curve over to Scowren when he had to get it over.
Sanford into the wind up. The one and oh pitch. Out the side. Another curve breaking down on the way. Ball two and a strike.
George it looks like when he wants to put that extra on the curve ball he can use a hold on to it just a little bit longer and work it right into the ground. If he throws his normal curve ball he's been getting in a pretty good spot.
Jack wants to start over on the signs as he indicates to Tom Howler. He didn't like that one. Here's the two and oh pitch. Swinging a miss. That's ball around the letters. Ball two and strike one. Jim Davenport the third baseman is playing deep at third and only about a step from the line as he doesn't want Boyer to hit a ground ball by him into the corner and put the lead run at second base.
He's willing to give up a ground ball single to his left that would only put the lead run at first base with two out. Howler calling Tom as he goes out to the mound.
He's got an option on Boyer. He chased the high fastball. He can go that way. They were the fastball or he can have him trouble all day with the curve ball. So Howler just wants to make sure how Sanford is feeling.
He's got some glasses and timing is being called as a bad boy runs him out. The sun has been keeping him out here and right now it's going behind the clouds so Pagano won't need him right at this instance but it's been out bright.
Goes back in and better to have. And like that son lose that ball.
The Yankees and the Giants all tied at 2 to here in the bottom of the seventh inning. A ball to strike one count the clearest boy. Here's the pitch. Swinging away. He plays the fastball by two and two to boy.
Sanford and Terry locked in another duel. They fixed in the second game of this world series and Sanford wanted to do nothing and they're right back at it this afternoon tied to two. Here's the pitch curve outside.
Three and two to boy.
Sanford has been three to on every batter this inning. Going a lot of pitches here late in the ball game.
A pitch to clean swing.
No one left. The Yankees two in the Giants.
Back with more action from this classic World Series game of 1962 after this.

NBC Radio is presenting a rebroadcast of Game 5 of the 1962 World Series the San Francisco Giants versus the New York Yankees.
At the end of seven the Giants have two runs on six hits and they've made two errors. The Yankees have two runs on three hits and they have no errors.
The Yankees have a seven for it to lead off for San Francisco. He'll be followed by Mattie Lou and then Willie Mays.
Jimmy Zofa three struck out twice and bounced the third base today.
He's going to play in close checking the bottom. Here's a pitch curveball inside on ball. The strike.
Ralph Terry all the way for the Yankees. Jack Sanford for the Giants. There's a curve outside to an odd in Evanport.
Ball two and a no strike count. Howard taking a little time stepped out in front of the plate and fired the ball back.
Ralph Terry. We're in the top of the eighth inning. We're all tied at two to.
Here's the pitch. He swings and misses. That's ball around the letters. A ball two and a strike one count.
And Evanport straight away and not too deep. Scouring and boy you're in a couple of steps. There's a fastball too high.
Three and one to Davenport. Jimmy checking with Whitey Lachman the coach at third base. See if the hip sign is on.
Here's the three one pitch right down the middle of the fastball. Davenport was taking all the way. A ball three and a strike two count.
Jimmy trying to work his way on there. Giants have their big guns coming up. Here's the three two pitch.
Swinging him in. He struck him out. Davenport strikes up.
George neither pitchers given in to the hitters. That was a three to curveball even though it was the leadoff man and you could just picture ahead what could possibly happen if Davenport got on the
Bunt by Mattie Allure to move over. Made him a coming belief to drive him in. Yet Terry. Right to the curveball and came across as a real good pitch.
Both Sanford and Terry a tremendous ball game out here. Mattie Allure the batter struck out bounced a short and punted to the first baseman in three trips.
Little left handed batter this fellow can really fly down the first baseline. Terry delivers a fastball a pass.
One ball and a strike. But daily a left hander still throwing in the bullpen. The Yankees.
Here's the one and no pitch. Slow curve to have. Ball to an a strike. Boy you're still playing in close against the Lou.
Mattie slapped one by him here in a pinch hitting row on Monday. Here's the two and no pitch. He swings and fouls it back.
One of the two ones on the screen. Ball to strike one. The scoring in this ball game the Giants picked up one in the third. The Yankees tied it in the fourth.
Giants got one in the fifth to go in front two to one and the Yankees tied it in the sixth inning.
Mattie Allure the batter. A ball to a strike one count. Terry ready. Here's the pitch. A curveball hit foul down the third baseline.
Mattie Allure waited on that curve and drilled it foul just outside the line.
Boy you mentioned is challenging that Lou and that Lou is coming up with a challenge. That's low curveball. He's trying to slap it by him.
Now Boyer's dropped back again with a two strike count and he's a little bit wider at third base but he's back.
Mattie Allure waiting on Terry. Here's the two to pitch. Foul ball back on the screen. Terry trying to get the fastball by him on the two to pitch.
There's one out with no one on here in the eighth inning. The Giants two and the Yankees two. Tomorrow's an off day.
We'll be in Candlestick Park in San Francisco on Friday for game number six. Billy Pierce will pitch for the Giants and more than likely Stafford.
Now out that he could make a change. It wasn't certain that yet.
The two to pitch curveball. He hits it down the right field line foul. That's when going back in the upper deck.
Still two and two to Mattie Allure. Willie Mays is in the on deck circle.
Mattie Allure has moved out to the mound for a conference with Terry. He wants to be sure that they're pitching Allure right.
Mattie choking the bat a little bit with two strikes on him. Waits on Ralph Terry.
Three to pitch curveball outside. He pulled the string on that one. A Lewis fool but it was just off the corner. Three and two.
Ralph doesn't want to walk him put a speedster at first place with one out. He'll be trying to come in with us three to pitch.
A fly ball hit into left field. Tommy Trash is moving back still going back. He makes the catch.
Mattie Allure out on a fly ball to Trash in left center field. Two down and here's Willie Mays.
This is the real tough part of the day as far as left field is concerned the sun. You can see Trash like the outfielders here at Yankee Stadium try to do is play the ball off the side instead of looking straight ahead.
They look off the side and try to play it that way.
Willie Mays standing in. He's 0 for three today. Terry delivers a fast ball. It's inside.
I thought he might have gone through with his swing. He checked with Barlick who said no one ball strikes.
Willie right down on the end of the bat. Here's the one and no pitch. He swings and misses. He had a riffle and a fastball. One ball one strike.
Two outs with no one on. We're on the top of the eighth inning. The Yankees two and the Giants two.
Terry ready. Here's the one one pitch curveball. He fouls it off. One ball two strikes.
Terry got the slow curve on the outside corner. Willie was out in front. He hit it right on the end of the bat. Swipped it off to the right.
Mays is lying to left struck out and fly deep to center in three trips.
Here's the one two pitch curveball hit hard to third. Boyer has it the throat of first. He's out.
Willie Mays goes out third to first. He runs no hits no arrows no one left and the score at the end of the first half of the eighth inning.
The Giants two and the Yankees two.
This original 1962 World Series broadcast will continue on the NBC radio network.
Let a three time Indy 500 winner and current national driving champion tell you why he asked for Pennzoil motor oil.
Hi I'm Johnny Rutherford. We use Pennzoil in the race car for top engine protection at high speeds.
But in my own car I want engine protection plus good gas mileage. That's why I'm more of a Pennzoil fan now than ever.
Because Pennzoil does save gasoline. You see Pennzoil engineers have made it even more slippery.
This means there's less friction where engine metal meets engine metal so the engine runs easier.
The easier an engine runs the less gasoline it drinks up.
Johnny Rutherford knows gas saving Pennzoil. There's quality in every extra mile available in 10 W 30 and 10 W 40.
America has asked for Pennzoil. America lives in a drive.
Pennzoil the act for motor oil. Pennzoil.
NBC Radio Sports is presenting a classic World Series broadcast.
Game five of 1962 featuring superstars Mickey Mantle, Roger Marris, Willie Mays and Willie McCovey.
Ralph Terry will be the lead off man here in the bottom of the eighth inning for the Yankees.
He'll be followed by Kubek and then Bobby Richardson.
George the second time in this ball game that Terry's been leading off so Sanford is doing quite a job of getting the key man, the eighth man at Yankee lineup
because they'd like to see you to fit your lead off to Giant's Wood.
Ralph has been to the plate twice. He struck out both times. There's a fast ball in tight. One ball no strike.
A two to ball game in the bottom of the eighth inning as Sanford and Terry are dueling again.
Check, checks the sign. There's the one at O pitch. Strike, he got the fast ball right down the middle.
One ball, one strike.
The Yankees have never been out in front in this ball game. Twice the Giants have taken the lead, twice the Yankees have tied it.
There's a strike. Fast ball with the knees. One ball and two strikes to Ralph Terry.
Tony Kubek, the shortstop is waiting in the on-deck circle.
Here's the pitch. Curve ball, he fouls it back. One and two to Terry.
New baseball put into play by Al Barlich, the play-dumper. Sanford rubbing it up.
Terry down on the end of the bat, waiting. Here's the one to pitch. Curve ball, he struck him out.
Ralph Terry goes down swinging. Strike out number ten for Jack Sanford.
There's one away and the batter will be Tony Kubek. Tony singled in the first inning,
pops to the shortstop in the third and struck out in the fifth.
Kubek a tall left-handed batter. Here's the pitch. Ball down low. One ball and a strike.
Davenport at third base is playing in close and he is near the bag as Tony hits a lot of balls down the third base line.
He's playing as much as he would a right-handed batter. Here's one outside. Two and O at a Kubek.
The Giants have two runs on six hits. They've made two errors. The Yankees have two runs on three hits and they have no errors.
The Yankees have not driven in a run. One scored on a wow pitch, one on a fast ball. Here's a liner to right field. A solid base hit for Kubek.
Quick throw back in by Aloud at first base. Almost caught McCovey by surprise.
Tony Kubek swinging on the two and O pitch, landed hard in the right field. That's hit number four for the Yankees.
The runner at first base with one out and the batter will be Bobby Richardson. Bobby's one to three today.
Safe on an error in the first inning. Hopped up in the third and singled in the sixth.
Davenport playing in close at third. I'm not going to give Bobby a chance to beat out a bun in this spot.
Davenport checks his runner. It's a quick throw to first. Kubek back in town.
Don Larson and Stu Miller, a couple of right handers are throwing in the bullfrogs of the Giants.
Davenport gets that. Here's a pitch. Here's a liner to left. It's in there. A solid hit for Bobby Richardson.
Aloud plays it on the first hop and throws it back in.
All the Yankees are threatening. A liner to right by Kubek and then Bobby Richardson aligned one hard to left field.
Putting runners at first and second with one out. Al Darts, the manager, has moved out of the dugout on his way to the mound.
He has Don Larson, a big right hander and Stu Miller a right hander throwing in the bullfin, Joe.
He starts them in a hurry too, George. Right now he's just getting an opinion from his catcher, the Red Stanford Interball game, on the base to the Kubek.
Stanford got behind Kubek's two balls and no strikes. He challenged him with a fastball.
You can certainly see here, George, he takes breaks with the Giants down and of course they worked it that way.
It's just quick pitching where Jerry leading off, they got him on strikes then.
The Yankees have had to play station to station baseball since there is one out here.
Although Kubek and Richardson have come through.
Look, Tommy Trash, the batter. He's got a double today in two official trips. Here's the pitch. Ball down low. One ball and no strikes.
Bobby Richardson on at first base, Tony Kubek at second with one out. We're in the bottom of the eighth inning and it's all tied at 2-2.
Stanford checks his runners, the pitch to Trash. He swings a long ball. This is well hit in a deep right field, going it's down a home run.
Tommy Trash has just slammed one into the lower deck in deep right field. Three big runs coming in and it's a 5-2 ball game, Joe.
And it looks like Stu Miller will be brought in out of the bullpen. Alvin Dike went out and made a move right away and bringing in Stu Miller out of the bullpen.
Stanford will have to leave. Stu Miller making his way in from the left field bullpen as the Yankees have taken a lead here, 5-2.
Stanford struck out ten men and he got carried open in him and then Kubek on a two ball, no strike count, single in the right field Richardson, then single in the left field and then Trash after taking the pitch outside hit a low fastball into the right field sixth and that's the three big runs.
Stanford just standing off to the side, holding the baseball, waiting for his release pitcher to come in. Looking down to the ninth inning for the Giants, it'll be McCuvey, Philippe Alou and Tom Haller and it'll be up to Stu Miller, the release pitcher here to hold these Yankees from scoring any more runs.
They lead by three on a home run by Tom Trash.
Stanford gives the ball to Miller, he'll get a tremendous hand.
Jack Sanford getting a tremendous round of applause as he leaves the mound and it is a well deserved round of applause because this fella has been a tremendous pitcher in this world series.
He seemed to be laboring a little here in the last couple of innings. He gave up a couple of hard singles after the first batter had been retired here in the eighth inning to Kubek and Richardson and then Tommy Trash
on a low fastball and drove it deep into the lower deck in right field and the Giants trailing the Yankees for the first time in this ball game at the five to two game.
Stu Miller, a right hander coming on to do the pitching, Stu will pitch much as Ralph Terry does except he will throw more slow pitches as Joe has told you many times he can throw slow, slow and then slower.
So on the scoreboard the Yankees have five runs on six hits and no errors. The Giants have two runs on six hits and they've made two errors.
Mickey Mannell will be the first batter to face Stu Miller and then Roger Merritt.
The Giants went out in front and the third inning won to nothing. The Yankees tied it in the fourth one-one.
The Giants moved in front on Pagan's home run in the fifth and the Yankees tied it in the sixth to two and that's the way the score stood until Tommy Trash slammed one into the right field seats with two on here in the eighth inning.
Now we're ready to go. Miller completes his warm-up toss and Mickey Mannell steps in. Mickey's offered two officially in this ball game.
The safe on an error in the first inning, walked in the fourth and bounced to the second baseman in the sixth inning.
Miller into the wind-up and here's the pitch to Mannell. Ball, it's down low. One ball and a strike.
Tommy Trash's home run was his second hit in this game. He had a double back in the fourth inning. There's a curve up high. Two and oh to Mannell.
We're in the bottom of the eighth inning. There's one out with no one on. The Yankees have taken a five to two lead.
Mickey Mannell standing in with a ball two and a no strike count. The pitch, he swings and hits the bouncer to second.
Chuck Hiller has it. He's going to throw it first. He held it for just a moment and flipped it over to McCovey.
There's two down and the batter will be Roger Maris.
Roger's over three in this game. He's tried the left field in the first, bounced the first baseman in the fourth and bounced to Hiller, that second base in the sixth inning.
Miller gets ready. Here's the pitch to Maris. Curve ball down low. One ball and no strike.
Five to two, the Yankees lead. We're in the bottom of the eighth inning here in the fifth game of the 1962 World Series.
Tomorrow's an off day. On Friday, game number six will be played at Candlestick Park in San Francisco.
Game number seven will be played on Saturday if necessary. There's one inside just off the corner and ball two and no strike.
George is checking my score sheet. The first three hitters in the Yankee lineup got all the hits off that sensor.
I haven't checked it, Joe. Miller gets ready. Here's the two in O-pitch. Inside a slow curve ball breaking down an M, ball three in a strike.
If you want to pick out a ball player who's having quite a series, Joe, how about this Tommy Trish? He's been a key man for the Yankees every day.
Today with the double and then scored in the fourth and he's leading base fifth.
There's a three and O-pitch to Merris. He swings and fouls it back. Three and one to Rog.
Stu Miller pitching in relief of Jack Sanford who started this game for the Giants.
Stu taking a little time as he looks in. Here's the pitch to Merris. He swings and misses.
It was a change of pace. Rog thought he had it timed. Still wasn't there, Joe.
You'll do that against this Miller. Trish has eight base hits and Spaghan has seven. Two leaders. A little bit of a surprise.
Here's a three-two pitch. A ground ball foul down the first base line. Still free in two.
Ralph Terry started this inning by striking out. Kubeck then single the right field. Bobby Richardson lying to single the left.
Tom Trish did a one and O-pitch into the right field seats for a three-run homer.
Brought on Mickey Mantle batting against Stu Miller and Mantle bounced to the second baseman.
Roger Merris batting with a ball three and a strike two count.
Miller into the wind up. Here it is. Down low he walked him. Merris caused a walk.
Well the Yankees have a runner in first base with two outs and the batter will be Elston Howard.
Howard and Kendall's big part just made up his mind that he was going to wait and kind of hit flat footed and hit the ball into right field
and there was a bad curve ball but he singled against Miller in San Francisco as he went to the opposite field
which is the way hitters like to bat against Miller. If they can sometimes you just can't hold that bat back long enough.
Kelly is 0 for 3 in this game struck out twice and bounced to the shortstop against Sanford.
Here's the first pitch curve down low one ball no strike.
Five to two the Yankees lead were in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Roger Merris is on at first base with two outs. The Yankees have scored three times here in the eighth inning.
Here's the first pitch a swing in a mid on a curve one ball one strike.
Miller gets that. Here's the one one pitch ball down low.
Coming in with a fastball to low ball to strike one.
The sun completely gone here at Yankee Stadium. Cloudy and overcast right now.
Here's the two one pitch outside to get the corner with a fastball three and one to Howard.
Kelly is checking with Crossetti at third base. No doubt the hit sign is on if he likes this pitch.
Here's your merit at first base with two outs. The pitch to Howard he swings and fouls it back on the screen.
Three and two to Ali. That means that Merris at first base will be moving on this pitch.
Three two and two outs.
Miller gets that. Here's the pitch. There's a fly ball in the center field. Mays coming on. He's there.
Makes the catch. Elston Howard flies the center. The Yankees pick up three runs on three hits.
Nowhere else one man left and the score at the end of eighth. The Yankees five and the Giants two.
We'll be back with more exciting action from the fifth game of the 1962 World Series after this.
The bell system presents Miss Ella Fitzgerald.
Talk to the children.
Share a little secret. Share a little laugh.
Growing up so far away. Growing up so fast.
Talk to the children.
Reach out. Reach out and clap someone.
Am I falling? Baby sure cry. I forgot my two years ago.
Talk to the children.
Staying close is easy and it feels so good.
Talk to the children. Reach out and clap someone.
Wherever you are you're never too far from little people who want to hear you.
Reach out. Reach out and clap someone.
Reach out. Call up and just say.
And now more action from Game 5 of the 1962 World Series.
Well it's the top of the ninth inning and the Yankees are out in front by a score of five to two.
It will be Willie McCovey to lead off for San Francisco.
He'll be followed by Philippe Alloux and then Tom Haller.
McCovey's 0-3 struck out in the second inning.
Bounced to the second baseman in the fourth and fly to right field in the sixth inning.
Two left-hander throwing in the bullpen for the Yankees.
Roya and Bud Daley.
Willie McCovey a big left-handed batter waiting on Ralph Terry.
Here's the first pitch.
Basketball he fouled tips at Alameda Howard. One strike.
Well the Yankees broke a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the eighth inning picking up three runs
on a homer by Tommy Trace with two mates aboard.
The hits are all even. Six apiece. The Giants have made two errors.
Here's a curve hit hard up the middle in the center field.
Willie McCovey slammed the ground wall in the center field
and the Giants have a runner at first base with no one up.
The battered Philippe Alloux, the left fielder.
Philippe had a double and a single in three trips today.
Terry checks his runner. Here's the pitch.
Strike. Basketball around the knees.
The Yankees five, the Giants two, we're in the ninth inning.
The Giants have a runner at first base with no one out.
Dave Ballou waiting on Ralph Terry.
Here's the one strike pitch.
Fastball he swings and misses. Strike two.
Scarrant is playing about a step or two behind McCovey at first base.
They do not figure McCovey to be running
but he doesn't want to give him a big jump either
so he can break up the double play.
Here's the pitch.
A swing and a miss he struck him out.
Terry threw the fastball by Alloux.
Strike out number seven for Ralph.
In case you missed the attendance today, it's 63,165.
63,165. Here's Tom Haller, the catcher.
Tommy's over three in this ballgame.
Terry gets set. The pitch.
Strike, he got a slow curve ball over.
One strike count to Haller.
Scarrant has moved back a step or two farther with a left-handy batter
than he did against the right-hander, Alloux.
Here's the one strike pitch.
Fastball it's inside.
One and one to Haller.
George Ed Bailey is one of the Giants' both hands.
He's come into the bench so there's probably
to pinch it at the ball for God.
Terry taking the long look in.
Here's the one-one pitch.
Fastball down low.
He got this one over the plate but too low.
Ball two and strike one.
Haller wants to have a look at the baseball.
Al Barley collars out to Terry who tosses it in.
McCovey opens the inning with a single to center field.
Alloux then struck out.
Haller the catcher batting with a ball two and a strike one count.
The Yankees lead by three here in the ninth inning.
Here's the pitch.
Strike two, he gets the fastball over.
Haller might have been looking for the curve.
He was not ready as Terry plays the fastball by.
One is even at two and two.
Ralph gets set.
Here's the pitch.
Curve it's up five.
Three and two to Haller.
Scouring at first base is playing close to McCovey.
Then as Terry delivers the ball he races back about four or five steps.
He wants all the protection he can get against the left handed batter.
Three and two to Tom Haller.
Terry gets set.
Here's the pitch.
Bow ball.
This one's coming back in the press box.
Still three and two.
He does match in his strength against Haller's strength now.
He didn't want to walk him and get that tie and run up at the plate.
Bailey has already come out, a left handed full hitter.
And so with a three to count Terry is right back in front of the fastball strike.
He was a bit disgusted when he missed with the two to curve ball and ran the count full.
Tom Haller a big left handed batter waiting.
Terry gets set.
Here's the pitch.
Fly ball hit into center field.
That'll have a long way to go.
He's racing.
He can't get it.
It gets by him.
Haller on his way to second.
McCovey is being waved in.
Here's the throw.
He's going to be held up.
George that can really change it because they're waving that double play situation at the big base hit by Tom Haller and Pagan who's going to stop hitting and hit now.
Show that ball was hit into almost straight away center field but Mantle was playing far over into right center.
Playing Haller to pull all the way.
He made a long run after but he couldn't get it.
A two bay hit for Haller.
McCovey comes in to score it five to three.
Here's Oday Pagan.
He swings and misses on curve ball.
One strike to Pagan.
Five to three the Yankees lead.
The Giants have a runner at second base with one out.
Jerry gets the ball on the outside part of the plate to Haller.
Kept him from pulling it but Mantle is playing far over into right center.
He had no chance to get it.
Here's the pitch.
Curve at the end of the dirt. Nice pick up by Austin Howard.
One ball, one strike.
Pagan out of the box for a moment.
He's taking another time before he gets back in.
The Giants have worked the tying run to the plate.
Here's the one one pitch.
A ground ball to the shortstop.
Pagan goes out, shortstop first.
Joe you hit it right on the button when it got out of the double play
because there was a tailor made double play ground ball right there.
It's a big base that Haller picked up.
It looked like a high fly ball and it started out George
but he knew it was going to be trouble for Mantle
because he was way over in right center.
In fact he's in the same spot right now.
Fred Bailey was coming up at the pinch it as he was for Haller
and he measured by the 407 foot mark.
He's just a little bit to the left of the marker as we look out.
It's Bailey who will come on the bat for Miller here in the ninth inning.
He represents the last hope for the Giants unless he can get on.
Of course Bailey's up to do one thing.
Howard knows that.
Terry knows it.
Everybody knows it.
He wants to hit it as far and as hard as they possibly can.
He's got to go for the long ball.
The Yankees lead by two here in the ninth inning.
The Giants have a runner at second base with two outs.
Ed Bailey a big left handed batter.
Here's the pitch.
He swings and bounces it foul down the first baseline.
One strike to Bailey.
Ed had a home run in the ballgame out here on Sunday
against Stafford in the ninth inning.
One strike count is Terry taking a lot of time here in the ninth inning.
He is one out away from his first World Series victory.
Ralph looks in and as he gets ready Bailey steps out.
The Giants have out hit the Yankees eight to six with their trail five to three.
Here's the pitch.
Ball it's down low.
One ball one strike.
I believe Bailey wants to have a look at the ball.
Now Barlich signaling to Ralph Terry.
He's going to put a new one into play.
McCovey opened the inning with a single.
Tom Haller doubled the center driving in McCovey.
And Paghan bounced with a shortstop for out number two.
Now Ed Bailey is a batter with a one ball one strike count.
The pitch to Bailey.
Ball inside.
A ball two and a strike one count.
Ralph was trying to hit the inside corner with that fastball.
Got it a little bit too close to Bailey.
It's set again.
The pitch slow curve.
He hits it deep to right.
Marist going back.
He's there and he's got it.
Bailey has the ball higher to right here.
One run on two hits in the inning.
Now there's one man left.
Final score of the game.
The Yankees five.
The Giants three.
Well Joe quite a ball game here today.
And the Yankees have taken a three to two edge as we move on to Candlestick Park.
Yes it was a real big ball game for the Yankees to win.
And now they have Stafford and Ford ready for the sixth game.
Manager Ralph Hall will announce that after work out tomorrow both ballcups
working out at Candlestick.
And our producer this afternoon has been Ron Gillan.
Our engineer has been Harry Alexander.
Now this is Joe Garagio reminding you once again that the final score today
was New York Yankees five and the San Francisco Giants three.
