On Monday, October 15, 1962, the New York Yankees faced the San Francisco Giants at Candlestick Park for Game 6 of the 1962 World Series.
The Yankees led the series three games to two after a tom trash at a three-run home on the bottom of the eighth to break a tie in Game 5.
This audio recording is from the NBC Radio broadcast featuring announcers George Kell and Joe Gargiola.
This is Joe Gargiola, along with George Kell welcoming you to the sixth game of the 1962 World Series.
This afternoon, the sixth game of the 1962 World Series, and it'll be Whitey Ford against Billy Pierce.
And I'm sure that that comes as no news to anybody because you talk about stories being filed out of San Francisco during the rain we had here.
Everybody kept wondering whether there would be a psychological edge, whether the pitching changes would stay the same, would they change.
But here they are this afternoon, and just as both managers stated, Whitey Ford for the Yankees and Billy Pierce for the San Francisco Giants on a beautiful afternoon here in San Francisco.
The sun is very bright here. The temperature, around 65.
I expect it to go into the middle 70s as the afternoon goes on, and it should be a beautiful day for baseball here at Candlestick Park.
Neither ball club took batting practice. Both ball clubs took infield practice, and those outfielders really pay attention to the skip of the ball off the infield and the outfield grass.
Bear in mind that the infield grass has been cut, but it is slow.
Still a bit damp. The dirt part of the infield is in great shape. The outfield is still a bit soggy, and behind home plate and near both dugouts is still a bit wet.
But the field is in good condition.
And this broadcast is authorized under broadcasting rights granted by the Commissioner of Baseball solely for the entertainment of our listening audience.
In any publication, rebroadcasts are of the use of the descriptions and accounts of this game without the express consent of the Commissioner is prohibited.
At any rate, it is the sixth game, something that we were beginning to doubt.
And George, when I look at Whitey Ford warming up and Billy Pierce warming up, I golly it is the sixth game.
And I know yesterday you were wondering whether we'd ever get it off the ground.
It looked that way at one time out here in San Francisco, but we're ready to go today.
Billy Pierce continues to warm up with this Whitey Ford, and both pitchers have faced each other all during their careers.
In this series, this will be the third start for Whitey Ford.
And when you talk to Whitey about Scott and report, he said all he wants to know is whether a high ball or low ball hitters.
And he certainly has his own book on each giant because he's pitched against them twice already in this series.
For Billy Pierce, this is the second game in the series for him.
Billy is pitched against the Yankees many, many times, and he mixes them up, moves the ball around.
If he's got good control, he'll be pitching down.
And here are the lineups.
For the New York Yankees, leading off it'll be Tony Kubeck at shortstop, Kubeck shortstop.
Batting second, it'll be the second baseman, Bobby Richardson.

as we look out on the field.
Ford continues to throw.
Pierce will be warming up from the mound.
Two left-handers.
And this is the sixth game.
Yankees leading the series, three to two.
Could be all over if the Yankees win it.
The Giants have to win the tie and force

High sky, it's a beautiful sun shining.
And George, you'd never believe it, after the rain we had here
to get a day like today.
But here it is.
And two fine left-handers, Billy Pierce and Whitey Ford.
It's a beautiful baseball afternoon, as you said.
And now we're ready to go.
Tony Kubeck will step in to lead off for the Yankees.
He'll be followed by Bobby Richardson
and Tommy Trash, the left-fielder.
Whitey Ford against Billy Pierce here today,
a couple of veteran left-handers in the sixth ball game.
Pierce gets ready and here's the first pitch of the game.
A high fly ball down the left-field line.
It's curving foul, Pagone going over,
but it's going to be out of play.
This one back in the crowd.
Kubeck has a 286 batting average.
Tony's been to the plate 21 times.
He has six hits.
No home runs, no runs batted in.
Left-hander against a left-hander.
Jimmy Davenport, the third baseman,

So Pater's in a couple of steps at first base.
Giant's play Kubeck a little bit to left field.
Keen over near the line.
Billy Pierce looking in.
Here's the pitch to Tony.
Curve ball, it's inside.
One ball, one strike.
Tony Kubeck, the lead-off man for the Yankees,
waiting on Pierce.
Here's the 1-1 pitch.
He swings and hits a bouncing ball slowly to second.
Heal her hazard, here's the flip to first.
He's out.
Kubeck goes out, second to first.
That's one away.
And the batter will be the second baseman, Bobby Richardson.
Bobby's a right-handed batter.
He has a 190 batting average.
Four hits and 21 trips in this series.
A lot of people predicting a high-scoring ball game here today
seems to be the trend after a lot of off days.
Here's the pitch to Bobby.
Ball, it's outside, a slow curve off the corner.
One ball and a strike.
Pierce into the wind-up.
Here's the 1-1 in Opage.
He swings and pops it up.
It's going to be out of play.
This one coming back into the crowd.
One ball, one strike.
Another capacity house here in Candlestick Park.
Boy, tickets were just not available here in San Francisco.
Everybody looking for tickets.
You might have thought with a delay,
there would be some tickets available.
But no, sir, not in San Francisco.
Here's the pitch.
Bobby swings and hits a fly ball into shallow center field.
Willie May is racing in.
Pagan going out and Pagan makes the catch.
George Pagan and Ernie Bowman, a utility infielder,
collided in the workout at Modesto yesterday.
And Pagan has a bit of a bad wrist.
He couldn't follow through.
And he's kind of limping as he comes back now
and Ernie Bowman had a couple teeth loose in the collision.
I notice he has a bandage on his left forearm.
Down around the wrist.
Tommy trashed the batter,
switched batter batting right-handed against Pierce.
Tommy has a 400 batting average.
Takes a curve down low.
One ball and no strikes.
Tommy has eight hits and 20 trips to the plate.
We're in the first inning in case you joined us late.
Two outs with no one on.
Pierce into the windup.
Here's the one and no pitch.
Strike, he got a fast ball over.
One and one to Tresh.
It was a dramatic three-run homer by Tresh
in Yankee Stadium last Wednesday.
I gave the Yankees the three to two edge in this series.
Here's a curve outside.
Ball two and strike one.
So far Pierce's pattern has certainly changed
and has thrown a lot of big wide-breaking curveballs
contrary to what he has said all along
and the way he pitched out here in his first game.
Here's the two-one pitch.
Down low he got the fast ball below the knees.
He has not thrown many fast balls here today.
In the first game he pitched against the Yankees,
he threw a lot of fast balls.
But Billy here in the first inning,
as Joe Toge has been throwing a lot of big wide curves.
It's a three-one count to Tommy Tresh.
Pierce into the windup.
Here's the pitch.
Strike, he got the fast ball over.
Three and two to Tommy.
Mickey Mantle is waiting in the on-deck circle.
Yankee's trying to get something going here in the first inning.
A three-two pitch.
He swings and hits a bouncing ball to deep short.
For gone with a long throw he is out by a step in the first inning.
Close play but he makes it.
The right-to-hand scorer is no one left
but the first time in the first inning,
the Yankee's nothing with the Giants coming to bat.
Well, no scorer is going to the bottom of the first inning.
The Yankees going out in order.
Cubak bounced the second Bobby Richardson pop to the shortstop
and Tom Tresh grounded to the shortstop.
For the Giants it will be Harvey Keen leading off.
It will be followed by Chuck Hiller and then Philippe Alloux.
Keen is looking for his first hit in the World Series.
He's hit eight times.
George in the background, I can hear the Giants fight song.
It looks like all ball clubs are coming up with one.
The Pittsburgh club with the Bucks going all the way
and now the Giants have one by by birdie.
I don't know, it's getting to me where you're going to need a music
construction along with a hitting coach.
There's the first pitch to Keen.
He hits a ground ball.
It's speared by a boy here.
Here's the throw to first. He's out.
Keen hit that one like a bullet.
A low-liner that hit in front of Boyer to the left of him.
Had a nice pickup, flipped it over to Bill Scowen in time to get his man.
He's one away and the batter will be the second baseman, Chuck Hiller.
He's got the left-handed batter with a 278 batting average.
He has five hits in the series and 18 trips.
One was a grand slam homer.
Ford delivers a fastball outside.
One ball to strikes.
Left-hander against a left-hander here in the bottom of the first inning.
Whitey gets ready.
Here's the one in no pitch.
Ground ball hit to the wide.
A boy here. Keen back will have a long throw to first base.
He is safe on a close play.
Keen back went into the hole and got the ground ball.
Made the quick throw to Scowen but not in time.
It will be an infield single for Hiller.
It's a runner at first base with one up and the batter will be Fully Pallou.
Pallou's the right-handed batter.
He has a 278 batting average.
Five hits and 18 trips.
Same as Chuck Hiller.
Whitey checks his runner.
Here's the pitch.
Bowel ball.
This one's coming back in the crowd.
One strike to Pallou.
A pretty good tip-off on the respect that the Giants have for Whitey Ford's control is that nobody is waiting for anything.
Keen jumped on the first one.
So did Hiller and now here's the Lowe's swinging at it.
Pallou's standing in.
A one strike.
Whitey checks his runner.
Here's the pitch.
A swing and a miss.
He got a low fastball by two strikes to Pallou.
We're in the first inning in case you join us late. There's no score in the ballgame.
The Giants have a runner at first base with one out.
Chuck Hiller beating out an infield single to deep shot.
Pallou is taking a little time.
He lost his helmet as he swung and missed at the last bit.
Puts it back on and gets in.
The Yankees deep and around to the left for the big fella.
Whitey gets set.
Here's the pitch.
A ground ball.
The Boyer gets off his glove.
Rolls over to Cuback.
Everybody's going to be safe.
A ground ball to the left of Boyer that skipped off his glove.
Rolled over to the shortstop.
Cuback too late to make a play at second.
He'll be on error charged against Boyer.
So the Giants are threatening here in the first inning.
They have runners at first and second.
One out and the batter is Willie Mays.
Willie has a 2-38 batting average in his series.
Five hits and 21 trips.
Here's the first pitch.
A ground ball hit to the shortstop.
Might be a double play over to second.
Back to first.
They get the double play.
Willie Mays hits into a fast double play.
Short to second to first.
No runs.
One hit.
One error.
One man left.
And the score at the end of one full inning of play.
The Giants nothing in the Yankees nothing.
Well Willie Mays ending a threat for the Giants here in the first inning
as he slammed a hard ground ball straight to Cuback.
George Mays as we've talked about during the series really hits Whitey Ford.
In fact of the five hits that he has in his series four of them have come against Whitey
but in the jam Ford was up to it and gotten to hit the breaking ball
on a perfect room service ground ball
where they could turn it over for the double play.
And as you pointed out Joe with the rest of the batters Willie jumping on the first pitch
the Giants coming right off of that bench swinging here in the first inning.
There might be a reason for it.
We'll wait and see.
You know that Ford is not going to walk too many.
They're going to have to go out and get him and Alvin Dockies turn on that green light
I guess from the time they got up this morning.
Well Mickey Mantle will lead off for the Yankees in the second inning.
Here's Billy Pierce first pitch ball.
He got the fast ball up high.
One ball and no strikes.
Mickey's batting average one eleven he has two hits and 18 trips in this series.

Here's the two one pitch.
He swings and hits a liner to center.
May's going back back and he's there and makes the catch.
In the center field.
Mickey Mantle hit that one nearly 400 feet away into deep center.
A lion drive.
May's moving back to make the catch.
George both that maze and Mantle have made some pretty good big leg outs.
They've hit that ball hard in straight center field.
May's hit a couple of Yankee Stadium and that ball at Mantle just hit was hit right on the nose
but in the big part of the ballpark.
Here's four tenons on a field a long ways from home play.
Here's Roger Maris a left handed batter against Billy Pierce.
A curve ball that's in there one strike.
Billy coming in with a big roundhouse curve to Roger Maris.
Roger's batting average posted at 188 he has three hits and 16 trips.
Pierce gets ready.
Here's the pitch.
Another curve he hits it on the ground of the second baseman Hiller.
He's thrown a first and plenty of time to get Maris.
That's two down and the batter will be the catcher.
Elston Howard.
L is a right handed batter.
He has three hits in the series and 14 trips or a 214 batting average.
We're in the top of the second inning there's two outs with no one on there's no score in the ballgame.
Pierce into the wind up the pitch to Howard strike he got a fast ball over.
The Giants play Elston deep and around to the left.
He has a lot of power in the right center field but he'll pull nearly everything.
Here's the one strike pitch down low at the fast ball over with two low one ball one strike.
Pierce against Whitey Ford here today in the sixth ballgame.
The one one pitch outside just off the corner with a fast ball ball to in strike one.
The sixth ballgame as everybody knows by now delayed three days because of rain Friday Saturday and Sunday trying to get it underway but
we're ready to go here today on a beautiful baseball afternoon.
Pierce gets ready.
Here's the two one pitch.
Elston pops it up on the infield so paid at first base is waiting on it makes the captain fair territory.
No runs no hits no errors no one left and the score at the end of the first half of second inning.
The Yankees nothing the Giants nothing.
Orlando's the pay to be the lead off man for the Giants in the second inning.
He'll be followed by Jim Davenport and then Ed Bailey.
It's a scoreless ballgame as we go into the bottom of the second.
So pay does a big right hander he's looking for his first hit in the series for delivers a fastball he swings and misses one strike.
Orlando has been to the plate twelve times.
Here's the one strike pitch slow curve hit on the ground to the shot stop it bounces in the left field.
The big turn but he's got to hold on at first place a low liner that Quebec was all set to feel it took a band hop and bounce high over his head in the left field and so pay to get his first world series hit.
The Giants with the runner at first place and no one out the batter will be Jim Davenport.
Jimmy's a right handed batter he has a one thirty three batting average board delivers a curve down low.
One ball or no strike.
Davenport has been to the plate fifteen official times with two hits.
A runner at first base with no one out here in the second inning.
Board delivers outside a fastball off the corner ball to an O strike.
Quebec was all set to feel the ground ball off the bat of the plate on the first half and it skipped high into the air he had no chance to feel it.
Here's a quick throw to first base.
Orlando back in town.
Jimmy Davenport choking the bat waiting on Whitey Ford.
Here's the two and O pitch outside.
Three and out at Davenport.
Jimmy's out of the box right now checking with Whitey Lachman at third base.
More than likely the take sign will be on for this three and O pitch but we'll have to wait and see.
Whitey gets set.
Here's the pitch.
Striked he got the fastball right down the middle.
Davenport was taking all the way.
It's a ball three and a strike one count.
Sopeta appears to be confused at first base George.
Here's the pitch.
Striked he threw the curve ball on the three one pitch.
Sopeta at first base was checking with the first base coach Larry Jansen on a three one and he's talking to him now as he just didn't get the sign from Lachman on the three one.
A lot of time dark likes to run him.
Ford gets set.
Here's a three two pitch a ground ball that is fouled on the third base line.
Lachman knocks it down.
Sopeta was on his way on the three two pitch.
It's a simple thing as far as the sign is concerned to get it from your third base coach.
If you're not sure many times the first base coach will simply give you a wink which means go ahead and right now Sopeta is checking with Jansen.
He wants to make sure he was running on the last pitch.
You can see a key situation is already arisen where it could be a strikeout and throw him out.
Whitey gets set again.
The pitch to Davenport.
A high pop fly.
This may be out of play.
Aaron is chasing it over near the seats. He can't get it.
He's been back in the crowd.
Still three and two to Davenport.
Sopeta once again moving on the pitch.
Jimmy has good bat control.
Gets a piece of the ball.
He doesn't strike out much.
So Al Dark playing a little hit and run baseball here on the three two pitch.
Of course that Whitey Ford moved George.
It's not too much of a lead as far as Sopeta is concerned because Whitey has a real good move the first base and Orlando has to make sure he's coming towards the plate before he breaks.
So he's not getting a very good jump at all.
They could still make the double play on a hard hit ground ball.
Ford ready again.
Here's the pitch.
Here's a liner down the left field line.
It is a foul ball into the giant bullpen.
Davenport lined the ball hard down the left field line.
It curves into the bullpen.
Still three and two to Davenport as he's making Whitey Ford pitch here in the second inning.
There's no score in the ballgame.
The Giants have a runner at first base with no one out.
Whitey taking a little time rubbing up a new baseball right now.
Texas sign.
Here's the pitch.
A swing and a miss.
Now the second Sopeta is going back to first.
He's safe at first base.
It worked as the pay his advantage not to have a good jump because he was only about a step and a half off first base.
And when he saw Davenport miss Howard of course couldn't take any chances.
He threw the second base and Orlando only being about four steps.
First base got back easily.
Whitey defeated himself as you say Joe by holding him so close that Sopeta seeing he had no chance when Davenport swung and missed.
Race back to first.
Now Howard of course could not take a chance.
He didn't know what he was going down or going to stop and he fired the second to hit him off.
Here's Ed Bailey the catcher.
He had a left handed batter.
The pitch is in there a curve ball.
One strike to Bailey.
Ed's been to the plate nine times.
He has one hit.
111 batting average.
Whitey forward looking in.
Checked his runner at first base.
Here's the pitch.
A swing and a miss.
Another curve ball.
Strike two to Bailey.
Orlando Sopeta opened the sending with a bad hop single to left and Davenport then struck out.
With a two strike count on Bailey and Scarring has dropped behind the runner because Bailey a big pull hitter.
They don't want to give him that big gap although Richardson is really protecting that hole but Scarring has dropped back with a two strike count on Bailey.
Board gets set again.
Here's the pitch.
A curve outside.
He tried to get Bailey to swing at a bad pitch.
A curve breaking down and away.
One ball two strikes.
A scoreless ball game.
We're in the bottom of the second inning.
Giants have two hits.
The Yankees have none.
Board taking a little time as he looks in.
Checked his runner at first.
Here's the pitch.
A ground ball foul down the first baseline.
Still one ball.
Two strikes to Ed Bailey.
Jose Pagan the shortstop.
Waiting in the on-deck circle.
A Yankees deep and pulled around to the right for the pull hitting Ed Bailey.
Tom Howard was listed as the catcher a couple of days ago but Dark said he wanted to go with Bailey because he had caught Pierce more this season than anybody else.
Here's the one two pitch.
Fastball it's high and inside.
I believe in the count at two and two.
A lot of advantages to that.
Dark really believes in it.
Sanford and Haller are the perfect battery on this ball because Haller always is catching Sanford.
Here's Bailey and Pierce.
Whitey Ford ready again.
There goes the runner a swing and a miss.
Here's the throw to second base.
He is out.
It's a double play.
Bailey struck out and Sepreta is thrown out.
Howard to the shortstop.
No runs on one hit.
There were no errors.
No one left and the score at the end of two.
A giant's nothing.
The Yankees nothing.
You know talking about giving signs at first base.
There are many ways.
One of them as I said was to wink another way and of course a lot of things can backfire on you.
Another way is to use the last name of the ball player.
We had a kid over Pittsburgh.
We used the last name for the sake of simplification.
Use the name Jones.
Whenever he heard his last name he was to take off.
Got on first and the coach says come on Jones be ready which of course was assigned.
The kid called time walked over to the coach and said oh come on.
We've been together all year.
You know me well enough to call me by my first name.
There's Bill Scowron to lead off for the Yankees.
He takes the fastball outside.
One ball and no strikes.
Bill's a right handed batter with a 273 batting average in this series.
He's had three hits and 11 trips.
The moose right down on the end of the bat waiting on Billy Pierce.
Billy taking a little time right now.
Takes his cap off.
Mops his brow.
Boy it's beautiful weather.
You're in San Francisco this afternoon.
Not a cloud in the sky.
The pitch scouring hits a ground at a third it is foul just outside the line.
Davenport racing across the line lets it roll into the giant bullpen.
George I don't know if it's just me but I never saw so much tape in the World Series there.
You watch that man when scouring get ready look like a mummy act and Howard and for gone.
Everybody all taped up for this series.
Here's the one one pitch foul ball scouring.
Check to swing the ball hit his bat and comes back.
I tell you if they delayed this game about three more days you might have to tape me up.
I'm going to jump out that window.
Those four walls were getting a little confining.
Here's the pitch to scouring.
He swings and hits a drive into deep center maze going back back.
He's deep near the fence.
He's got it right against the fence.
Bill Scaran out on a fly ball into deep center field will he maze going right back to the warning track to get it.
That's one out and the batter will be plate boyer the third baseman.
The plate's been to the plate 16 times he has four hits for a 250 batting average.

One ball and two strikes.
Billy Pierce is throwing much harder now than he did in the first couple of innings.
Here's the pitch.
Three call.
He gets the fast ball over and Ford is called out on strikes.
No hits no errors no one left and the score at the end of the first half of the third inning.
The Giants nothing in the Yankees nothing.
Jose Fagan will be the lead off man for the Giants in the third inning.
He'll be followed by Billy Pierce and then Harvey Keane.
Fagan a right handed batter.
Into the plate 14 times he has seven hits for a 500 batting average.
Here's the first pitch strike he caught the inside corner with a curve.

Good play by Boyer who went to his right.
Made a backhand pick up.
So Fagan is out five to three.
If you're keeping score in the batter will be Billy Pierce.
Here's Billy coming on.
Nice round of applause.
This fella has never lost a ball game in Candlestick Park.
He had a record this year of 12 wins and no defeats.
Dark answer to one of the questions was a good one.
He used exactly what you just said.
George asked him about making the change.
He said I got to see Billy Pierce lose before I make a change.
Here's the first pitch.
He swings and bounces it foul down the first baseline.
Larry Chanson picks it up.
A one strike count.
Pierce hits pretty much like Ford.
They're both pretty good hitters.
They slap the ball around a lot up the middle and into left field.
Billy batting with one out and no one on in the third inning.
Here's the one strike pitch.
A ground ball hits slowly to the second baseman.
Richardson has it.
The throat of first he's out.
Billy Pierce goes out second to first.
Well it's two down and the batter will be Harvey Keane.

The pitch to Keane.
Strike.
He got a fastball in around the letters.
One strike to Harvey.
Yankees play him straight away not too deep.

Why'd he pull the string on that when he got Keane out in front

And the score at the end of three.
A Giants nothing the Yankees nothing.
Aim six of the World Series of 1962.
At the end of three on the scoreboard no runs no hits one error.

It's going to be in the crowd.

Billy Pierce and Whitey Ford were announced as the starting pitchers in game number six last Friday.
The reins moved in and they are still the pitchers here today.

There had been a lot of speculation there might be but no change by the two managers.
Pierce gets ready.
Here's the 1-2 pitch.
Curve it's inside this one pushed him back.
Leave in the count at 2 and 2 to Cubak.
Bobby Richardson waiting in the on-deck circle.
Pierce into the wind up the pitch outside a curve breaking down and away.

A scoreless ball game we're in the top of the fourth inning.
A must ball game for the Giants.
Here's the 3-2 pitch.
He swings and bounces it foul.
This one off to the right.
Still 3 and 2 to Tony.
Both teams left this area yesterday.
Travels some 90 miles away.
Took infield practice batting practice.
Each team working out about an hour.
Cubak waiting.
Here's the 3-2 pitch.
He swings and hits a slow bouncer wide a third.
Davenport has it.
The throw to first he is out.
Good play by Jimmy Davenport.
Who went wide a third base.
Came up with a ground ball.
Had to throw off balance to Sepeta.
And he got his man by a step.
George I think the accuracy of the throws by the infielders has really been amazing because that infield although it's pretty dry is not completely dry.
You can bet that there is a wet spot or two on a baseball when they pick it up after the ground ball.
Bobby Joe after it leaves that wet grass on the infield but we've had some great throws today.
Bobby Richardson the batter takes a fastball down low.
One ball and a strike.
The Yankees are looking for their first base runner against Billy Pierce.
Veteran left hander gets ready.
Here's the one and no pitch.
He swings and hits a bouncer foul down the third base line.
One ball one strike.
Bobby popped the shortstop his first time.
In case you're wondering the background here at Candlestick is real good.
Yankees and some of the Giants complained about the background in Yankee stadium because it were people in center field but here there's a big high green wall or background.
Real good.
Here's the one one pitch.
A ground ball to third.
Davenport has it on the big hop.
The throw to first.

We're in the top of the fourth inning.
There's two outs with no one on.
There's no score in the ballgame.
Here's the pitch to Trash.
He swings and hits a fly ball into shallow center.
Heller going out calling part.
He's got it.
The second.
No one left.
The first half of fourth inning.
The Giants nothing in the Yankees nothing.
We move along into the bottom of the fourth inning.
There's no score in the ballgame.
No runs on two hits for the Giants.
No runs on no hits for the Yankees.
There's no score in the ballgame.
That was made by a boy at third base.
Chuck Heller the second baseman will lead off to the Giants.
He'll be followed by Philippe Alou and then Willie Mays.
Chuck had an infield single his first time at bat.
Left handed batter facing Whitey Ford.
Here's the pitch.
Curve ball.
It's two half.
One ball and a strike.
He's getting in to get the sign.
Here's the one at O-pitch.
There's a drive in the left field.
Trash coming in.
He's there.
Makes the catch.
Heller sliced one down the left field line.
Tom was playing over that way.
Moved in quickly and near the line to make the catch.
That's one up and the batter will be Philippe Alou.
Alou was safe on an area his first time.
He slammed the ground ball to the left of Boyer
and he got away from him.
He's standing.
Philippe right down on the end of the bat.
Ford delivers.
Here's a fly ball foul down the left field line.
This one's going back in the crowd.
One strike to Alou.
And a letter from a fan wanting to know the relation of Philippe
and Maddie Alou with their brothers.
Two mighty fine ball players playing on the same ball club.
One strike count to Philippe.
He's batting with one out and no one on here in the fourth inning.
There's another one too, George,
if these giants are counting on very heavily.
Quite possible there'll be three Alou brothers
in the major leagues next year.
Here's the one strike, bitch.
Fastball is down low.
One ball, one strike.
Is he an outfielder too?
His name is Hazoo.
How about that for an outfiel?
Alou, Alou and Alou.
Sound like three lawyers just went broke.
Here's the one, one, bitch.
A ground ball hit wide.
A third boy again, get it.
Alou hit one to the left of Boyer who died for the ball.
He got his glove on it and couldn't hold it.
It'll be an infield single for Philippe Alou.
So the giants pick up their third hit.
They have a runner in first place with one out.
And the batter will be Willie Mays.
Willie's 0-for-1.
He slammed into a double play his first time at bat.
This crowd coming alive as Mays moves into the batter's box.
Here's the pitch.
A ground ball that's fouled on the third baseline.
One strike to Willie.
All three giant hits have been of the scratch variety.
Heller beat out an infield single, a deep shot.
Sepeta's single took a bad hop over the head of Quebec.
And this ground ball, skipping off the glove of Boyer at third base.
Willie Mays the batter.
Ford delivers.
Ball, it's down low.
Her breaking down an in.
One ball, one strike.
Alou at first base with one out.
We're in the bottom of the fourth inning.
There's no score.
Boyer Mays right down on the end of the bat, waiting on Whitey Ford.
He has a phenomenal record hitting against Ford.
Here's the 1-1 pitch.
Ball, he checked his swing on a low curve.
Ball two and strike one.
Whitey trying to get Willie to go for the low inside curve ball and beat it into the dirt as he did in the first inning.
And he got him to bounce into a double play with two on and one out.
Willie checking his swing this time.
He's waiting for that good pitch.
Whitey checks his runner.
Here it is.
Down low, another curve, breaking down an in.
Three and one to Mays.
Trying to hit him right on the fifth, but Willie won't go for it all. Breaking balls down an in.
Willie's been laying off.
Whitey taking a little time right now, rubbing up the baseball.
He'll check his runner very closely at first base to see if Alou is moving on this 3-1 pitch.
A leap taking a lead.
Here's the pitch.
Outside, he walked in.
Willie Mays, how's the walk?
So the Giants are threatening here in the fourth inning.
They have runners at first and second with one out and the batter will be Orlando Sabrera.
Orlando had a single his first time at bat.
He slammed a hard grounder straight at Quebec.
The curve breaking in.
One ball and a strike.
Ford got the first batter here in the fourth inning.
Hiller on a flat left gave up a single to Alou on a walk to Willie Mays.
The pitch to Sabrera.
He swings and hits a foul down the third baseline.
One ball, one strike.
Whitey is throwing a lot of curves here today, especially with men on bases.
He's trying to get the Giants to beat it into the dirt.
Sabrera a big strong right-handed batter.
Whitey Ford checks his runners.
Thanks a quick throw, it's in the center field.
It'll be a wild throw, he's going to get a run in.
Alou is coming in the score.
Willie Mays goes to third base.
Well, the Yankees' favorite pick-off play is just backfired as Ford whirled at Prada's second.
He evidently did not pick up Robbie Richardson.
He tried to stop his throw, it slipped out of his hand and went in the right center field.
Alou scored all the way from second and Willie Mays moved to third base.
So the Giants are out in front, one to nothing.
They have a runner at third base, one out.
The infield moving in close now for a play at the plate.
Here's the pitch to Sabrera.
Wall, it's in tight.
Wall two and strike one.
Whitey Ford is that great success throughout his career with the pick-off plays with this one backfired.
He's checking the runner at third base.
Here's the pitch.
A swing in a miss.
The low curve ball, a quick throw down to third by Elston Howard.
He missed his target by a good 20 feet and it's kind of surprising George that he tried with less than two outs
because what just happened, Willie picking up the big base to fly a ball will pick up another run.
With two outs it will still take a base hit, but less than two outs to fly a ball, a big play for these Giants if they can get it.
Whitey gets ready.
Here's the two-two pitch.
There's a drive in the deep right center field, a miss going way back in.
He can't get it.
All the way to the fifth.
The plate on him will go in the second with a double.
We'll get another run in.
The ball goes in the second.
Orlando Sopeta getting his second hit, a drive up the middle in the right center between Merris and Mantle all the way to the fence.
Willie May is coming in to score and the Giants lead it by a score of two to nothing.
He'll have a runner in second base with one out and the batter will be Jim Davenport.
Jim was a strikeout pick from his first time at that.
Here's the pitch.
A drive through the middle in the center field and he'll run in.
Here's Sopeta around third coming in to score and Davenport has real one through the middle of center field.
The Giants now lead it by a score of three to nothing.
Starting some action in the bullpen for the Yankees, Jim coats the right-hander, but daily a left-hander throw.
Davenport picking up his first run battered into the series.
The Giants leading three to nothing.
A runner at first base, still one out and the batter is Ed Bailey.
Whitey ready. Here's the pitch.
A swing and a miss on a slow curve ball. One strike to Bailey.
Whitey forward looking in.
Here's the pitch.
A high fly ball down the third base line.
I believe it's going to be out of play back in the crowd.
Boy, you're chasing it. There's no chance to get it.
Now the Giants have picked up three runs here in the bottom of the fourth to take a three to nothing lead over the Yankees.
Three hits a walk in an error.
Getting the runs in.
The pitch to Bailey.
Did he know that Jolly Berry checked it and gone. A curve ball breaking down and away.
Bailey checked this swing just in time.
One ball, two strikes.
Whitey looking in to get the sign.
Here's the one two pitch.
Strike three called.
He got the slider over the outside corner and Bailey is called out on strikes.
Two down and the batter will be Jose Pagan.
This crowd has really come alive here at Candlestick Park.
The Giants have broken this scoreless deadlock, picking up three big runs here in the fourth inning.
They still have a runner at first base with two outs.
Pagan bounced the third base his first time.
That's one hard to the shortstop. Fillback up with it. Throws the second he's out.
The Giants pick up three runs in the inning. Three runs on three hits. One error. One man left.
And the score at the end of four full innings of play. The Giants three in the Yankees nothing.
At the end of four, the Giants have three runs on five hits and no errors.
The Yankees have no runs, no hits and they've committed two big errors.
Mickey Mantle will be the leadoff man.
In case you're wondering whether Billy Pierce knows he's got a no hitter going,
I'm sure that somebody on that Yankee bench is provided evidence service
because they don't let those things get by. Anything to rattle them.
Mickey fly deep to center field his first time.
Mickey fly ball into center field. May is moving back a few steps now he's coming in.
He's got it this one away. That one was hit a mile high in the straightaway center field.
One down and the batter will be Roger Maris.
Roger bounced to the second base in his first time.
In the fifth inning there's one out with no one on the Giants lead three to nothing.
All the scoring coming in the fourth inning. A pitch to Maris. Curve ball it's in there.
Once again the Giants have gone into the shift. They have three infielders on the right side.
Here's the pitch. Ball in tight. One and one to Roger.
Maris out of the box for just a moment.
Billy Pierce quickly gets ready. Here's the pitch. Strike two he blazes the fast ball over.
One ball and two strikes.
Roger might have been looking for the curve as Billy slipped the fast one right down the middle.
Here's the pitch. A curve ball he fouls it back in the crowd. One ball two strikes.
Billy with a new baseball getting ready. The one two pitch. A curve it's hit deep in the right field.
This ball is well hit. It is going. Going. It is gone. A home run for Roger Maris.
A towering fly ball in the deep right field. A low took one look at it.
And turned back to the infield. The first home run in this series for Roger Maris.
It is his fifth run battered in.
Now a three to one ball game. The Giants leading. And the batter will be Elston Howard.
Ellie popped to the first baseman his first time.
Big right handed batter. Now Pierce wants to start all over again with the signs.
Just ready. Here's the pitch. A swing and a miss. He got the fast ball by him.
One strike to Howard.
The Giants picked up three in the fourth inning. The Yankees have picked up one here in the top of the fifth.
The pitch to Howard is inside. One ball and strike.
One out with no one on in the fifth inning.
This is the one one pitch down low. Ball two and strike one.
One of the problems that a catcher has with Billy Pierce is to slow him down.
He has a tendency to really work fast and you can see Bailey trying to slow him down a bit.
Although Billy is intent on getting that ball and firing.
He might be giving the slow signs Joe and we're going to get some action.
It looks like in the giant bullpen right now Billy O'Dell for one getting up and I believe Don Larson is the other one.
Now Don getting up.
Pierce gets ready. Here's the two one pitch. A ground ball hit the third Davenport.
Back of the bag with a long throw to first. It's a wild throw.
This pass to Betta and Howard will go all the way down to second.
Davenport had a long throw to make. He was back of the bag near the line at third base.
Made a wild throw to first. It got past the pay to win all the way to the stands and Elston Howard moves down to second base.
It'll be an error charged against Jimmy Davenport.
It's a runner at third at second base with one out and the batter will be Bill Scarran.
Bill's all for one. He played the center field his first time in bat.
Action in the giant bullpen. A left-hander Billy O'Dell and a right-hander Don Larson throwing.
Billy Pierce looking in. Chucks his sign with Bailey. A pitch to Scarran. Here's a pop fly in the shallow left center.
Mays racing in fast. Keen coming in and Mays makes the catch.
Scarran hit that one down on the handle of the bat.
Wild wall in the shallow left center. Willie Mays racing in to take care of it.
That's two down and the batter will be Cleep Boyer.
Billy going out to talk to Pierce. He was looking over towards his bench to see just exactly how they want to play.
The giants are leading by two. This is the time when they wanted to play it for Boyer but first base is open.
And it'll be one of those cases of making him hit your ball. You're not going to put him on but you're not going to give him a real good ball hit either with the pitcher coming up next.
And with the pitcher coming up next Joe we're getting some action in the bullpen for the Yankees so it could be if Boyer gets on we'll have a bench batter for Whitey Ford.
Jim Coates beginning to throw. Pierce gets set. Here's the pitch to Boyer.
He swings and hits a bouncer foul on the third baseline. One strike.
If nothing else Coates getting up that bullpen is a quick counter move by Hal because it'll force the Giants to pitch to Boyer whereas with nobody up there more lines kind of pitch around him.
Pierce ready again.
One strike pitch outside. Fastball down and away. One ball one strike. The Giants are leading three to one. We're in the top of the fifth inning.
Elston Howard is down his second base with two outs.
Now Pierce steps off just as he was ready to go. Looking back at second base he doesn't want Howard to get that big lead on him.
Billy gets back on the rubber. Here's the one one pitch. Curve ball it's outside. 12-2 and strike one.
The man will open the inning with a fly ball to center field. Roger Marist then hit a home run over the right field fence. Howard was safe on an air by Davenport.
Scour and fly to center. Here's the pitch to Boyer. Down low. Three and one to Clee.
Billy Pierce being mighty careful. Looks like they're going to put him on George Bailey is putting out four fingers in the first base so Alvin Dark is not going to let him hit a cripple three one.
He's going to put him on. It'll force the move by Al. Here's the pitch. It's outside and Boyer goes to first base and that means that Whitey Ford will be the batter.
And he's coming out of the dugout. He tried to force the move by Coates. We mentioned it when Coates got up there that they would let Boyer hit. Dark didn't go for it and Alke stayed with his starting pitcher Whitey Ford.
As you said Joe he was trying to bluff Dark into pitching to Boyer hoping he'd think he was coming out for a pinch batter but Dark didn't go for it.
Looks like holding a pair of deuces in a poker game George. Here's the pitch to Whitey. Ball it's down low. One ball and no strikes.
Two on with two outs here in the fifth inning. The Giants lead three to one. Whitey Ford the batter chokes the bat.
Here's the one and no pitch. He swings and bounces it foul over to the Giants dugout. One ball one strike.
I doubt if Howard will be able to score on the base hit the left or left center because Keen, Leedy, Gardner, Lyons, Shallow and Willie Mays looks like an extra infielder out there.
Very Shallow and center field. Here's the one one pitch. A high pop fly on the infiel. Hiller at second base is calling for it.
He's got it to side return. Whitey Ford pops to the second baseman. The Yankees pick up one run on one hit. One air on the inning. Two men left and the score at the end of the first half of the fifth inning.
The Giants three and the Yankees one. Kelly Pierce will lead off for the Giants in the bottom of the fifth followed by Harvey Keen and then Chuck Heller.
A three to one ball game. The Giants in front. Here's the pitch. A crown ball hits slowly to the shark stop. You'll have to hurry to throw the first ease out on a close play.
Kelly Pierce goes out. Shark to first. One away and the batter will be Harvey Keen. Harvey has bounced the third and popped to the shark stop in two trips.
The serve still looking for his first hit in this World Series.
Ford into the wind up. Here's the pitch. Strike. He got a fastball over. Harvey bluffed a bunch towards third. He's trying to get Boyer in closer.
The plate is in a step or two from his normal position. Here's the one strike pitch. Change of pace. It's outside. One ball, one strike.
The Giants have out-hipped the Yankees five to one. They've outscored them three to one.
Here's the one one pitch. Inside a fastball that pushed him back. Ball two and strike one.
The sixth game of the 1962 World Series. A must ball game for the Giants. Here's the two one pitch.
The line and a left. Harvey Keen gets his first hit. And he slammed a low liner between third and short in the left field.
Number six off Whitey Ford. The Giants with a runner in first base. One up and the batter will be Chuck Hiller.
Chuck got an infield single in the first inning. In the fourth inning he applied to left field.
Ford gets ready. The pitch. Ball is down low. Hops out of the mid of Howard. No chance for Keen to move up. One ball and no strikes.
The Giants lead by two. We're in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Ford checks his runner. Here's the one and no pitch. There's a liner in the shallow center field. It starts off in. Harvey Keen around second.
He'll go in standing up. Chuck Hiller. Drops a soft line drive in the shallow center field.
Keen racing all the way to third base. The Giants have runners at first and third. Only one out and the batter will be Philippe Malou.
Malou safe on an error his first time in bat. Not an infield single in the fourth inning. At least one for two.
Once again the Yankee bullpen comes alive. Coltson daily starting to throw.
Malou. Ball that's in the dirt. Nice pickup by Elston Howard. One ball no strikes.
The Yankees on the infield are playing Boyer in close at third base. Scowen holding against the runner. Richardson and Cubak are playing back for the double play ball.
Here's the one and no pitch. A ground ball hit deep inside the left field. Malou hit a ground ball just out of the reach of Cubak.
Harvey Keen coming in to score. Hiller stops at second base.
Oh three straight hits here in the fifth inning. The Giants have picked up another run and now lead four to one. The batter is Willie Mays.
Willie bounced into a double play in the first inning and he walked in the fourth.
Here's the pitch. A high pop fly outside of first base. Bill Scowen coming over. He has plenty of room. Makes the catch.
Willie Mays fouls to the first baseman. Let's do down and the batter will be Sepeta.
Orlando's had a single and a double here in two trips.
The Giants have runners at first and second with two outs. They've picked up a run here in the fifth. They now lead the Yankees four to one.
Sepeta right down on the end of the bat waiting on Whitey Ford. Here's the pitch. Ball. It's down low. One ball and a strike.
The Giants started the scoring in this ball game in the fourth inning when they picked up three. Yankees got one in the top of the inning on a home run by Maris.
And the Giants have picked up one run here in the bottom half. Here's another curve down low. It's two and oh to Sepeta.
Action in the Yankee ball panel. Left-hander Bud Daley on a right-hander Jim Coates doing the throwing.
The court gets set. Here's the two and oh pitch. Ball inside. Three and oh to Orlando.
He might have been a little careful in his three nothing pitch. Lachman going through some signs. Sepeta really looking at him and Dark has had him hitting an awful lot.
Three and nothing throughout the whole series. And Sepeta can certainly reach those fences.
We'll see. Here it is. Stike. He threw the curve ball three and oh Whitey Ford taking no chances on Sepeta jumping on a fastball.
A ball three and a strike one count. Whitey gets set. Here's the pitch. He swings and lands in the center field.
And the run in Orlando. Sepeta lined one up the middle in the center field. Killer coming in the score. A low moves around the third base.
The Giants now lead five to one. As Sepeta has broken out here today he has not had a hit in this series until today he now has three.
Well Ralph Hough is moving out to the mound right now.
Here's the ball.
Ralph Hough has made the call to the bullpen Joe and I believe it's going to be the right hander Jim Cotes. Art throwing Jim Cotes is coming in to base Jim Devamport.
Big difference in this ball game today so far has been a bad of Orlando. Sepeta the Yankees have been able to stop him up until today but the big guy has broken loose.
He's got a single left field in a second and ain't nothing happened when he was out there trying to steal.
Then he had a double and scored in the fourth inning. He has just driven in his second on a double open run. He has just driven in his second run here.
That's a big RBI for Orlando. Sepeta.
Actually the two out RBI which is what he has just gotten here. Whitey Ford leads got a nice hand and he's a Giants lead by the store of five to one.
You all can wonder we talked about it yesterday about what effect it's going to have the off days. Now here's Orlando.
Now here's Sepeta with a couple days off and he is really roaring back in. That has to be a tremendous lip of these Giants because they've been doing it with a little Pagani leading the pack.
Two hitters as far as base hits and leading in the World Series. Tresh with eight and Pagani with seven and now Sepeta has come up with three base hits and it has to be a real shot in the arm.
This is a giant ball club. Right Joe and he had to be breaking out of it. A ball like Sepeta that's been a great hitter since he's been in the major league.
You just can't hold him in shackles forever. And finally here today he broke out against Whitey Ford as you say he's been the big man.
A double and two singles. He's driven in two runs. The Giants have five runs on nine hits. They've made one error.
Yankees one run on one hit. That was a home run by Roger Mers and they've committed two errors.
So Jim Cote's a big tall right hander. We'll come on to do the pitching here in the fifth inning.
Cote relies heavily on a fastball. He has a kind of a herky jerky delivery and it's to his advantage. You can't pick up that ball and he too soon on him.
He does a slider but when he gets in the jam he usually wears back and fires.
He'll be facing Jimmy Davenport. Jimmy struck out his first time at bat and he's single and drove in a run in the fourth inning when the Giants scored three times.
Runners at first and third with two outs. The Giants lead five to one. Here's the pitch. Ball outside a curve breaking down and away.
One ball and no strikes. Davenport a right handed batter. Yankees play him straight away and not too deep.
Cote's getting sent. There's the one and no pitch. Way up high with this one. Houston Howard has to reach up to flag it down.
A ball two and a no strike count. Milley Pierce open this inning with a ground ball to short. Harvey Keene single. Chuck Hiller single.
A loose single for one run. Mays foul to the first baseman and Sepeta single to center field driving in the second run of the inning.
Now it's a ball to and a no strike count to Davenport. Coats delivers. He swings and fouls it off.
He'll be out of play back into the crowd. A ball to and a strike one count.
Whitey Ford fits the first four and two third innings here today. Jim Coats now pitching in relief.
But daily a left hander continues to throw in the bullpen for the Yankees.
It's a ball to and a strike one count at Davenport. Here's the pitch. Way up high with another fast ball above the bill of escape.
Three and one. With a daily is warming up in a bullpen. George and Ed Bailey a good left handed hitting fastball hitter coming up next.
Now certainly wants coats to get this Davenport because coach may not have a shot at Bailey because you'll have to be matching strength against strength.
Jim gets up. Here's the three one pitch. He swings and pops it up on the infield.
Quebec and Richardson are both there and Quebec made the catch after a collision behind the back at second base. Jim Davenport pops to the shortstop.
Two runs in the inning. Two runs on four hits. There were no errors. Two men left and the score at the end of five pull innings of play.
The Giants five and the Yankees one.
Well at the end of five pull innings of play the Giants five runs on nine hits. They've made one error. The Yankees have one run on one hit and they've committed two errors.
Billy Pierce all the way for the Giants. Whitey Ford started for the Yankees. Jim Coates relieves him with two outs in the fifth inning.
Leading off in the sixth for the Yankees will be Tony Quebec. He'll be followed by Bobby Richardson then Tom Trash.
Tony has bounced a second and bounced a third in two trips. Here's ready and here's the first pitch. Ball outside. One ball and a strike.
Tony was out on a good play by Davenport his last time. Jimmy went far to his left to come up with his ground ball.
Here's the one in no pitch. A bouncing ball wide at first. Sepeta has it. Here's the throw to Pierce. He is out on a good play by Billy Pierce.
Sepeta made a high throw to Pierce. The reached up on the dead run made the catch and stepped on the bag in front of Quebec. So there's one off and the batter will be Bobby Richardson.
Bobby has popped to the shortstop and bounced a third in two trips.
Little right handed hitting second baseman waiting on Billy Pierce. Billy went into the wind up and then stopped. Now he's ready. The pitch strike. He got a fast ball over.
One strike to Richardson. Billy into the wind up. The pitch down low. One ball one strike.
Boy you couldn't ask for a finer baseball afternoon and we're having right here in San Francisco.
Here's the one one pitch. A ground ball to third. Davenport has it on the big hop to throw the first piece out. Bobby Richardson slowned one. One hop straight to Davenport at third base.
The pitch down and the batter will be Tom Thresh. Tommy has bounced the short and popped the second in two trips.
Tommy leads all the players in this series and number of hits he has eight. Pagan has seven for the Giants. Here's a pot attempt he missed the ball. One strike.
We might see a lot more bunning today with a wet infield a wet dress but very little so far.
Pierce into the wind up. Here's the pitch. Curve down low. One ball one strike.
The Yankees batting in the sixth inning. There's two outs with no one on the Giants lead five to one. The pitch to Thresh. A ground ball hit to the second baseman.
The killer has it to throw the first piece out. Tommy Thresh does out second to first. There are no hits no errors no one left and the score at the end of the first half to sixth inning. The Giants five and the Yankees one.
Now we go into the bottom of the sixth inning. The Giants in front by score a five to one. Ed Bailey will lead off. He'll be followed by Jose Pagan and then Billy Pierce.
Jim Coates taking his warm up crosses. Jim pitching in relief of Whitey Ford who started the small game for the Yankees.
Bailey's offer too. He's been to the plate in the second inning and again in the fourth inning both times a strikeout picked him against Ford.
They had a big left handed batter. Coates looking in to get the sign. Here's the first pitch. Wall it's in tight. One ball and a strike. The Giants picked up three in the fourth two in the fifth.
The Yankees got their lone run in the fifth inning. Coming on a home run by Roger Maris. It's been the only hit off Billy Pierce. Jim didn't like the baseball. He tossed it in the Charlie Berry getting a new one.
Ed Bailey the lead off man. One ball and no strikes. Jim ready. Here's the one and no pitch. Ball. Oh strike says Barry. The delayed call on that one. And Bailey didn't like the call. One ball one strike.
And Bailey can come up with those good ones to remember that day Burkard was working behind the plate. The first pitch of the game Bailey was catching and all he said was well I see you're not going to have a perfect day today.
One ball one strike. Coates ready. The pitch. Strike two. The fastball over the outside corner. One ball two strikes.
The ball is in the mid right down on the end of the bat waiting. Here's the one two pitch. Turn ball he struck him out. Bailey goes down swinging. One away. And the batter will be the shortstop. Jose Pagan.
The shortstop and the third baseman in two shifts today. Little fellow leads the Giants in number of hits. He has seven. Seven for 16 right now.
The coach for the first time today. The pitch is popped up outside of first base. Scouring is chasing it. He can't get it. This one about a step from the fence. Moves chasing it down the right field line and over near the stand.
One strike to Pagan. I thought he was going to have a little help from one of the customers there for a moment Joe. He was about to step out of the seats and make the play on it.
The ball pours ready to make the play. That's a little tough around at the box seats because it's still a bit soggy and you're kind of tiptoeing through the tulips when you go after those pop balls.
Coates into the wind up. Here's the one strike pitch. Ball it's up high. Check this swing. One ball one strike. Moose was sort of walking along there like he was walking on eggs and as you said that turf is really wet under the grass.
One ball one strike to Jose Pagan. We're in the bottom of the sixth inning. The Giants lead five to one. Here's the pitch. A swing in a miss. He fouled tiptoes from right into the myth of Elston Howard.
Moose was going to have that ball like Willie Jones. Remember Willie Jones and the Phillies?
I sure do.
Willie always says feet hurt only when they touch the ground. One ball and two strikes to Pagan. Coats ready. Here's the pitch. Foul ball. This one back on the screen. Still one ball. Two strikes.
One out with no one on here in the sixth inning. Charlie Berry tossing a new one out to Coats.
I'm taking a little time. Whitey Ford who started this ball game working very fast for the Yankees but Coats has slowed the pitching pace.
Here's the one two pitch. He swings and pops it up behind the plate. He's coming back just above our radio booth.
Gary Giova was all poised and ready to make it. How are you on this pop flat? That's very good. He's always hollered. Come on. Third baseman. Lot of room.
Still one and two to Jose Pagan. Coats looking in to Elston Howard. Here's the one two pitch. He swings and misses.
The first ball by him around the letters. Pagan goes down swinging. That's two down and the batter will be Billy Pierce.
Well a nice round of applause as he comes on.
Listen Billy and listen to the applause. It's been quite a picture here this afternoon.
Billy has a perfect record here in Candlestick Park. He's won twelve and lost none. And today he leads the Yankees five to one.
Billy batting now with two outs and no one on. It's a ground ball slowly to the shot stop. Gubak picks it up. Goes to first. He's out. Billy broke his bat on that one.
The Giants go out in order. No runs. No hits. No errors. No one left. And the score at the end of sixth San Francisco five. New York one.
George Kell and Joe Gargiola back at Candlestick Park in San Francisco where the Giants are leading the Yankees by a score of five to one at the end of sixth.
Here's the paid attendance here today. Forty three thousand nine hundred and forty eight. Forty three thousand nine forty eight. Another capacity house here in Candlestick.
Well it'll be Mickey Mantle to lead off for the Yankees. He'll be followed by Roger Mearris and then Elston Howard.
Mickey has fly to center field. Both trips to the plate. Here's the first pitch. Ball it's down low. One ball and no strikes.
Mantle a switch hitter batting right handed against the left hander Billy Pierce. Billy into the wind up. Here's the one and no pitch.
He swings and pops it up in the shallow center field. Heller is going back on the grass calling for it. He's got it. There's one away.
Mickey Mantle pops to the second baseman in shallow center field. Mickey just a bit disgusted when he popped it up. He just stayed at home plate down on one knee and cracked his favorite bat by pounding it into the ground and you can hardly blame him.
It's been a tough series for Mickey. Roger Mearris the batter. Roger's one for two. He slammed a home run back in the fifth inning to account for the only Yankee run.
Pierce delivers a curve outside. One ball and no strikes. Mearris hit a curve ball for a home run back in the fifth but it was an inside curve.
The pitch foul ball. Almost into our radio booth. We've got a couple of near misses here today. One ball one strike. Don Larson a big right hander is throwing the bullpen for the Giants.
The pitch to Mearris outside. Ball two and strike one. Then the seventh inning there's one out with no one on the Giants lead five to one.
Pierce gets ready. The pitch. Down low curve ball breaking in the dirt. Three and one to Roger Mearris. Elston Howard waiting in the on deck circle.
The Giants scored three times in the fourth inning. Two more in the fifth. The Yankees picked up their run in the fifth inning.
Here starts his wind up and then he stops. Now he's ready. Here's the pitch. Inside he walked in. Roger Mearris draws a walk.
It's a second walk given up by Pierce. It's a runner at first base with one out and the batter will be the catcher Elston Howard.
Now he popped to the first baseman back in the second inning. In the fifth inning he was safe on an air about Jimmy Davenport.
Pierce taking a little time as he looks in. Here's the pitch in the dirt blocked by Bailey. No chance for Mearris to go down.
One ball and a strike. With Larson warming up at the beginning of the setting George apparently Billy Pierce said something to his manager to kind of watch me.
Maybe his arm get a little tight. The good pitcher will do that. He'll give his manager a little bit of lead way.
Here's the one and oh pitch. Ground ball hit the third might be a double play down the second back to first.
Elston Howard hit into a fast double play. Third to second to first. No runs no hits no errors no one left.
And the score at the end of the first half of seventh inning. The Giants five and the Yankees one.
We move along into the bottom of the seventh inning. The Giants out in front of the Yankees by score a five to one.
We'll be the top of the batting order for San Francisco here in the seventh. Harvey Keane will lead off followed by Chuck Hiller and then Fully Pallew.
Harvey had a single his last time at bat. That was back in the fifth inning. His first hit in this World Series is one for three today.
Jim coach into the wind up. Here's the pitch to Keane strike. He got a fast ball over.
Marshall Bridge is a left hander and throwing in the bullpen for the Yankees.
What daily was throwing a little earlier. A pitch to Keane. There's a drive the first base.
Karen picks it up on the first hop steps on the bag and Keane is out. Harvey reached out on a fast ball and slammed it hard.
A low liner one hop right straight to Bill Scowran. One away and the batter will be Chuck Hiller.
Chuck said two hits today in three trips. There's a total of seven hits in this World Series.
The first pitch. He swings and misses. Fast ball around the knees. A one strike count.
The Giants have out hit the Yankees here today nine to one. The only hit off Billy Pierce has been a home run by Roger Maris.
There's a one strike pitch. Ground ball gets the second base. Bobby Richardson has it. The throw to first he's out.
Hiller goes out second to first. That's two down and the batter will be Philippe Ballou.
Philippe has been on all three times today. Safe on an error in the first inning.
Singled and scored a run in the fourth and he singled again in the fifth inning.
The single in the fifth inning drove in a run.
Coats into the wind up in the pitch. He swings it at the long drive at his serving foul down the left field line.
Ballou had the distance on that one but he got out and tried.
A one strike count. Giants batting in the bottom of the seventh. There's two outs with no one on.
The Yankees five to one.
Game number seven if necessary will be played right here tomorrow afternoon.
Here's the pitch. Inside a high inside fastball. Allu has to go down. One ball one strike.
And if we wanted to ask for our favorite top weather we'd ask for the same day that we're having right here today.
There's no miss on a curve. One ball two strikes. This is just a perfect baseball afternoon.
The sky is clear here about 10 o'clock on Saturday night. Bright sunshiney day yesterday but the field was in no condition to play.
And another fine afternoon. One and two to Philippe Ballou.
The pitch. Ball. It's a pass. Leaving the count at two and two.
Yankees playing deep and around to the left. Allu taking a little time out of the box for a moment.
Coach gets ready. Here's the two to pitch. A ground ball hits with the second baseman Richardson has it.
First he's up. Philippe Ballou goes out second to first. No runs. No hits. No errors. No one left.
And the score at the end of seven pull innings of play. A Giants five and the Yankees one.
Now we move along into the top of the eighth inning. The Giants leading five to one.
Marshall Bridges is throwing in the bullpen for the Yankees. Jim Coats has left the bench and gone to the clubhouse in deep right field.
So it looks like we'll have a pinch batter or Coats here in the eighth inning.
Bill Scowern will lead it off. Followed by Boyer and then Coats scheduled to be the third batter.
But Coats has gone to the clubhouse in deep right field. Scowern has fly to center field both drips to the plate.
Yankees have but one hit off Billy Pierce. There's a fastball inside. One ball and no strikes.
The five to one ball game. Five runs on nine hits for San Francisco. One run one hit for the Yankees.
Pierce delivers. Here's a fly ball hit deep to left. Keene is drifting back. He's got the room on this one.
Now he's coming in a few steps. Makes the gap. That one was hit a mile high in the left field.
Harvey was having a lot of trouble not only with his son but with his high sky Joe.
Not a cloud in that sky. Not those little angels that help the ball players and on every pop fly and every fly ball.
They not only flip the glasses. They've been shading with the glove with their meat hand getting all the help they can possibly muster.
It's a tough play. There's play to Spoyer. Howl to the catcher in the third inning. Walked in the fifth.
Pierce delivers a liner down the left field line. It's in there. That's when rolling into the bullpen.
There you are. Blackfield the batter for Jim Coast.
Oh there's out a couple of steps and then he was called back by manager Ralph out but now he's coming on.
And John bullpen jumps in action too George.
Larson and Odell at the first to a loud foul. They're up in Adam.
The Yankees have a runner at second base with one out. That was hit number two off Billy Pierce.
And Hector Lopez a right handed batter will come on to bat for Jim Coast.
We're in the top of the eighth inning. The Giants are leading five to one.
Odell and Larson throwing in the bullpen for the Giants.
Here's a pitch to Lopez. It's in the dirt. Nice pickup by Bailey.
One ball and a strike.
Willie May has asked Philippe Ballou the right field to move closer towards the right field line although Lopez is the right handed hitter.
He hit that ball from center field over towards the right field line.
Pierce checks his runner. Here's the pitch. Strike he got a curve ball over.
One and one to Lopez.
Jim Coast pitched a seven batters here today pitching in relief and he retired all seven batters.
Here's the one one pitch. High fly ball hit the right center field.
A Lou calling for it. May's over there. A Lou makes the catch.
Four years going to hold on at second base.
Lopez drilling one in the deep right center but a Lou of a lot of time to go back and get under.
Saw those two outs and the batter will be Tony Cuback.
They were playing him just about right and May's was over in right center and a Lou playing deep and over near the line for Lopez as they were playing him to hit the right and right center field.
Cuback's 0-3 today. Here's the first pitch. Strike. High fly ball in at the meeting.
Plate Boyer is down at second base with two outs. The Giants lead the Yankees five to one here in the eighth inning.
Billy Pierce delivers down low. High fly ball over the plate but two low. One ball one strike.
The Giants switch to left field for Cuback. Shading him much as he did Lopez. Just the opposite.
Here's the one one pitch. Here's a fly ball in the left center.
Keen racing in fast. Did he get it? No it got away from him.
Cuback is going to hold on at first base. Boyer comes in to score. Harvey Keen died for the ball.
He had it in his glove and it popped out. Rolled away from him.
It'll be a single-file Cuback. Boyer coming in to score.
Jim Honichick, the umpire at second base, raced out in the left center to see if Keen still had the ball.
Cuback had some ideas. George had gone on over to second base but Willie May, hustling back and up to play, came up with that ball.
And once Willie had it in his hands, Cuback scooted back to first base.
And then he makes it a five to two ball game. Cuback at first base with two outs in the batter. Bobby Richardson.
Bobby's over three today. He's popped to the shortstop and twice he has bounced to third base.
Pierce delivers. Outside. Fast ball off the corner. One ball and no strike.
Chance five in the Yankees two here in the eighth inning.
Here's the one and no pitch. A swing in him in. One ball, one strike.
Now Larson has taken his seat in the bullpen for the Giants.
And Stu Miller getting up to throw along with Billy O'Dell, the left-hander.
Here's the one-one pitch. High fly ball in the left field.
Keen coming in. Faghan going out. Keen shading his eyes. He's got it.
Florida is giving him a lot of trouble out there today but he's played with it.
The Yankees pick up one run in the inning on two hits. There's one man left in the store at the end of the first half of the eighth inning.
The Giants five in the Yankees two.
We're getting a new pitcher for the Yankees here in the bottom of the eighth inning.
It'll be a left-hander, Marshall Bridges. It'll be pitcher number three for Ralph Hough today.
Whitey Ford started. Jim Coats relieved in the fifth inning.
And now Bridges here in the eighth inning.
The Giants have five runs on nine hits. They've made one error.
The Yankees have two runs on three hits and they've committed two errors.
Willie Mays will be the lead-off man, followed by Orlando Sopeta and then Jim Davenport.
Willie's looking for his first hit today.
Stomps into a double play. Walk and foul to the first baseman. Over two officially.
The first pitch. Brown ball hits the third. Boyer knocks it down. Not going to be able to make a play.
The ball took a little bit of a bad hop to Boyer.
Hops out of his glove and he scored as a single for Willie Mays.
At the last moment, the ball seemed to come up one Boyer, though, as he was set to field it.
Hops out of his glove and Mays is given an in-field single.
The 10th hit for the Giants. The runner at first base with no one out. Here's Sopeta.
He swings and fouls it back. One strike to Orlando.
Sopeta's had a double and two singles today. He scored one run and driven in two.
Luis Arroyo throwing in the bullpen for the Yankees. Arroyo left-hander. Here's the pitch.
Ball outside. One ball, one strike.
Five to two. The Giants leading. We're in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Willie Mays at first base with no one out. Here's the pitch.
High fly ball behind Sharks Stop. Kubeck is calling for this one.
Shades his eyes and he makes the catch. Sopeta pops to the Sharks Stop.
It's one away and the batter will be Jimmy Davenport.
Jimmy's had one hit today in three trips.
His fellow's made some fine plays at third base this afternoon.
Why show bridges looking in? Here's the pitch.
Curve ball. He swings and misses. One strike to Davenport.
Yankees back on the infield with the exception of Scouron who holds against the runner at first base.
Willie's getting a big lead. The pitch is outside.
One ball, one strike.
Willie has that green light to go anytime he gets a good jump and he's been building up that lead.
He didn't want to take the bat out of Sopeta's hands but with Davenport up there you can look for anything.
Bridges checks his runner. Here's the one-one pitch. Bow ball.
This one off to the right. Willie gave a bluff as if he were going and Davenport swung trying to hit the ball in the right field.
A lot of batters can see the runner going and then they make a hit-and-run play out of it.
Just push the ball behind him and it looked like that's what Jimmy was trying to do.
He thought Willie was on his way but may he stop.
One ball, two strikes.
Aroya throwing in the bullpen for the Yankees. All quiet in the giant bullpen.
There goes the runner. Here's the throw down to second base. He is safe.
The ball got away from Bobby Bridges. He's in the top for a high throw.
Ready to put the tag on Willie and it pops out of his glove.
So May is at second base with one out. It's a ball two and a strike two counter Davenport.
There's no error on the play. It'll be a stolen base for Willie.
Jimmy Davenport waiting on Marshall Bridges. There's a two-two pitch.
Bow ball. This will be out of play back into the upper deck. Still two and two.
The wind is picking up a little bit. It's blowing from the left field corner into right field.
With the right hand hitter Davenport up there, Kubeck is playing near the hole and Willie only has to watch Bobby Richardson.
He's able to get a big, big jump off second base.
Bridges steps off. He pluss Willie back at second. May is taking a big lead.
The two-two pitch. High pop fly behind second.
Richardson drifting back on the edge of the outfield grass waiting. He's got it.
Davenport pops to second base. Two down and the batter will be Ed Bailey.
Here it has struck out three times today.
Fights against Whitey Ford and once against Jim Coates. Facing Marshall Bridges for the first time.
The Giants lead five to two. We're in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Here's the pitch. Swing and a miss. He got the curve by him. One strike.
Giants have out hit the Yankees. Tim the three.
Bridges gets set. The pitch. A swing and a miss. Got the fastball by him this time.
Spike to the Bailey.

Ed right down on the end of the bat.
Bridges checks his runner. The pitch. There's a long belt that is curving foul down the right field line.
Bailey getting out in front on the fastball pulling it foul. Still strike two.
Well if there's a seventh game here tomorrow the pitchers more than likely will be Bill Stafford for the Yankees
and Jack Sanford for the Giants.
Here's the two strike pitch. A ground ball hit to the second baseman. Richardson moves in.
Clips the first. He's out. Bailey goes out second to first. No runs on one hit.
There went away as one man left and the score at the end of eight. The Giants five and the Yankees two.
The lineup changed for the Giants here in the ninth inning. Maddie Allure has gone in to play left field in place of Harvey Key.
And we've just been notified that the starting pitchers tomorrow will be Ralph Terry for the Yankees and Jack Sanford
for the Giants in case of a seventh ball game.
Maddie Allure has gone in to play left field in place of Keyne here in the ninth inning.
The first pitch will be the lead off man followed by Mickey Mantle and then Roger Maris.
The Giants are leading five to two here in the top of the ninth inning.
Tres is looking for his first hit today. He's bounced the short pop to second and bounced to the second baseman.
Here's ready and here's the first pitch. He swings and fouls it back.
Bailey on the foot. Rows off to the right. A one strike count.
So if there is a seventh game tomorrow it'll be Terry against Sanford. A couple of right handers.
Here's a one strike pitch. Foul ball. It's back in the crowd. Strike two to try.
Let me take a little time before he gets back into the box.
A switch hitter batting right handed against Billy Pierce.
Billy into the wind up. Here's the two strike pitch. Ball it's a pass. One and two.
The Giants five the Yankees two. We're in the ninth inning.
Here's ready. Here's the one two pitch. Here's a foul ball hit in the left center field.
Mays and Alu moving over and Alu makes the catch. Really sliding down to get out of the way of Matty Alu as he raced in the left center.
He gets the foul ball off the bat of Tommy Trace. That's one out and the batter will be Mickey Mantle.
Twice Mickey has flied the center field and in the seventh inning he popped to the second baseman.
Billy has had Mickey hitting the ball up the middle all day into the air.
One out in the ninth inning. There's no one on.
Pierce gets ready. The pitch to Mantle. Here's a foul ball hit the center field. Mays moving over. He's there. Makes the catch.
Mickey Mantle for the third time today flying to Willie Mays in center field. Well that's two outs and it leaves it up to Roger Mays.
Roger's one for two. He bounced the second in the second inning. He had a home run in the fifth and drew a walk in the seventh inning.
Pierce delivers a curve ball. One strike to Amaris.
Roger didn't like to call on that one too much. Stimped out of the box for a moment so something to Charlie Berry gets back in.
Here's a pitch. That's the ball. It's in there. The outside corner. Nice hit to Amaris.
In the top of the ninth inning there's two outs with no one on. The Giants lead five to two.
Billy Pierce getting ready. Here's the fifth. Ball. It's a pass. One ball. Two strikes.
Billy Pierce has allowed but three hits here today. He's been a great pitcher for the Giants as he has all year long.
Better in left hander gets ready. The one two pitch.
Roger Mays strikes out and Billy Pierce has done it again. No runs, no hits, no one left.
The final score of this ball game. The Giants five. The Yankees two. Well Billy Pierce pitching the World Series into another tie.
It's all even at three games apiece and Joe another great victory for a great little left hander.
Yes sir, George. He's been a perfect pitcher here at Candlestick Park. He was tremendous in the playoff to get these Giants into the World Series
and in that big must game this afternoon it was Billy Pierce all the way in approximately two hours.
He is tied up this series and it sets the stage for the big seventh game tomorrow when it'll be Jack Sanford for the Giants
and it'll be Ralph Terry for the New York Yankees. The stage is all set for the big seventh game tomorrow afternoon.
The line score for the San Francisco Giants this afternoon. Five runs, ten hits and one error.
