On Tuesday, October 16, 1962, the New York Yankees faced the San Francisco Giants at Candlestick Park for the seventh and deciding game of the 1962 World Series.
The starting pitching matchup would be the same as the game 2, the Yankees Ralph Terry vs. the Giants Jack Sanford.
This audio recording is from the NBC Radio broadcast featuring announcers George Kell and Joe Garagiola.
This is Joe Garagiola along with George Kell welcoming you to the seventh game of the 1962 World Series.
This is it. Forget the rest of the season, forget the playoffs, the averages, what you did in this ballpark, that ballpark.
It's all wrapped up today and it'll be Ralph Terry for the Yankees and Jack Sanford for the San Francisco Giants.
The sky is high here, there's not a cloud in the sky and it's blowing from left field to right field and they will be shading towards the right field line.
Now this broadcast is authorized under broadcasting rights granted by the Commissioner of Baseball solely for the entertainment of our listening audience.
In any publication, rebroadcast or other use of the descriptions and accounts of this game without the express consent of the Commissioner is prohibited.
The grass has been cut in the outfield. Yesterday it was not cut in the outfield, it was still a bit damp.
The ground crew couldn't get out there but they were able to work on it and this ground crew, you certainly have to tip your hats to them.
They have really been putting in the extra hours, extra work, and extra detail to get this field in the great shape that it is.
The outfield grass is cut and that was another thing that the outfielders were concerned about.
Just how would that ball react once it's scooted off that grass?
It's a little bit faster than it was yesterday but not that much is the way the ball players were saying it.
The thing that is bothering the outfielders more than anything is the wind.
The lineups for this big seventh game of the World Series.
For the Yankees it's the same lineup that Ralph Hauk has been using throughout the series.
Kubek leads off at shortstop. Batting second it's the second baseman Bobby Richardson.
Batting third it's the left fielder Tom Tresh. Tresh in left field.
Batting fourth it's the center fielder Mickey Mantle. Mantle in center field.
Batting fifth the right fielder Roger Maris. Maris in right field.
Batting sixth the catcher Elston Howard. Howard the catcher.
Batting seventh it's Moose Scowron the first baseman. Scowron at first base.
Batting eighth it's the third baseman Cletus Boyer. Boyer at third base.
And batting ninth it's the pitcher Ralph Terry.
For the San Francisco Giants leading off it's Felipe Elu. A-L-O-U. Felipe Elu in right field.
Batting second the second baseman Chuck Hiller. Hiller the second baseman.
Batting third the center fielder Willie Mays. Mays in center field.
Batting fourth the left fielder McCubby. Willie McCubby in left field.
Batting fifth the first baseman Orlando Cepeda. Cepeda at first base.
Batting sixth it's the catcher Haller. Tom Haller the catcher.
Batting seventh the third baseman Jim Davenport. Davenport at third base.
Batting eighth it's the shortstop Jose Pagan. Pagan the shortstop.
And batting ninth it's the pitcher Jack Sanford. Sanford against Ralph Terry.
Both ball clubs certainly keyed up for this ball game.
That has to be the understatement of the year. How do you get up?
How do you get up anymore for a ball game than these ball clubs have for this one?
The Giants they've been counted out 900 times during the regular season.
They kept coming back, coming back. This whole series has been one of really alternating victories.
That's the way it's been. The Yankees won the first game by the score of 6-2.
Giants came back to win the second one 2-0. Yankees won the third game 3-2.
The Giants won the fourth game 7-3. Yankees won the fifth game 5-3.
And yesterday the Giants won it behind Billy Pierce 5-2.
And today this is it. One whole year wrapped up in one ball game.
The umpires just making their way out coming down that first base line.
Manager Ralph Hough of the New York Yankees comes out of the dugout from the third base side
ready to hand in the lineup card. And Whitey Lachman, a coach for manager Alvin Dark,
hands in the giant lineup to Big Stan Landis who will be the playdumpire.
So the stage is set. Sanford against Terry.
Jack Sanford on the mound, does a little of the work that the groundskeeper has been doing for a couple days.
He digs a favorite spot on the pitching slab.
The batters like to do it. Hitters like to do it in the batter's box to find that comfortable spot.
And George Kell, I can't imagine that until you get that first round ball or get hit by that first foul tip,
it's going to be a little tough to get comfortable for a game like this because those butterflies certainly have to be flying around.
There's no doubt about it, Joe. I was down on the field before the ball game as you were.
And the ball players seem to be a relaxed group of athletes, but they cannot be that relaxed here today.
In this all-important seventh ball game, as you said a moment ago, the entire season is wrapped up into one ball game here today.
A lot of these fellows have been through it before, some of them going through it for the first time,
but the tension has got to be the same for everybody. This is it and they all feel it.
And I think this feeling even prevails through this tremendous crowd here today as the Giants taking the field just a moment ago.
They let out a tremendous roar, of course, for the hometown team, but they feel the tension right here in the stands.
Tony Kuback stepping in to lead off for the Yankees here in the first inning.
Sanford gets ready and here's the first pitch of the ball game. He tries to bunt, but he misses.
One strike to Kuback. Tony has a 2.80 batting average. He's been to the plate 25 times and he has seven hits.
Tony has no home runs. He's batted in one run.
This will be the third meeting in this series between Sanford and Terry.
They've won one game each. Sanford won here in Candlestick and Ralph back in New York.
A pitch to Kuback. Outside a fastball off the corner. One ball, one strike.
In the first two ball games that Sanford pitched, he was behind the batters a lot, but he didn't walk many,
coming in with a 2-0 pitch, most of the time with good pitches.
Here's the pitch. Outside another fastball to miss the corner. Ball two and strike one.
It'll be Kuback, Richardson, and Tommy Trash for the Yankees here in the first inning.
The seventh game of the 1962 World Series. Sanford ready. A 2-1 pitch.
Here's a fly ball hit to center field. Willie May is moving in. He's there and he makes the catch.
Tony Kuback out on the fly to center. That'll bring up the second baseman, Bobby Richardson.
Bobby's a right-handed batter. He has a 160 batting average. Four hits and 25 trips in this series.
He has no home runs, no runs batted in.
Giants play him straight away and not too deep. Everybody's going to play shallow in left field today.
Here's the pitch to Bobby. Ball. It's inside a curve ball. Missed the corner. One ball and a strike.
Willie McCovey is in left field for the Giants. May's in center and Filippo Lou playing in right field today.
Sanford into the windup. Here's the one-and-oh pitch. Curve down low.
Got this one over the plate but too low. Ball two and no strikes. Sanford didn't like the call on it too much.
Stopped and looked in to Stan Lambers. Just on the first two hitters, George, and we might be able to get a pattern.
Nothing but fastballs and cue back. Nothing but curves of Richardson. Here's the pitch. It's down low.
A fastball low and in. Three and oh to Bobby.
Tommy Tresch, the left fielder, is waiting in the on-deck circle. Yankees batting in the first inning with one out and no one on.
A ball three and a no-strike count. Sanford taking a little time. Gets ready. Here's the pitch.
Down low, we walk in. Bobby Richardson draws a walk. We'll put a runner at first base with one out.
And the batter will be Tom Tresch, the left fielder. Tommy's batting average posted at 333 for this series.
Eight hits and 24 trips. Tommy has one home run and four runs batted in.
A home run, a three-run homer coming against Sanford at Yankee Stadium.
Tresch is a switch batter. He's batting left-handed against Sanford.
Here's the pitch. Strike. He got a fastball over the outside corner.
Davenport is playing in close at third. Jimmy's about even with the bag.
Sepeda holds against the runner at first. And both Bagan and Hiller have moved in a couple of steps.
They are cheating on the double play.
Here's the one-strike pitch. Outside, this one just off the corner.
Sanford is aiming everything for the outside part of the play to these left-handed batters.
One ball and one strike.
He's got a couple spots that will help him out if he can get them to hit that ball into left field because left center field is going to be a real tough job to hit one out of here the way that wind is blowing.
Sanford checks his runner.
Here's the one-one pitch. He swings and hits a pop fly behind third. Davenport is chasing it.
He's over near the stands and he makes the catch.
Jimmy Davenport making a fine play as he stayed with that high pop fly, caught it and crashed into the barrier.
There's two down and the batter will be Mickey Mantle.
George, you remember in that ball game over here, the second one, Tom Haller made some fine catches with some foul balls that stay in play. Anything that's hit toward the third base line, you better chase it because it'll blow back in play.
Mantle with an 0-91 batting average. He's been to the play 22 times. He has two hits.
Mickey has no home runs in this series. No runs batted in.
He's batting left-handed against Sanford.
Here's a quick throw to first. Richardson back in town.
Bobby at first base with two outs here in the first inning. There's no score.
Sanford gets set.
The pitch to Mantle. Ball. It's down low. One ball and no strikes.
Some of the riders were kidding Halk on the bench before the ball game about using the same lineup every day.
I said one thing I found out early in my managing career is go with the best you have every day.
Don't shuffle the lineup around. Just put the best you've got in there and play them.
One ball, no strikes. The pitch to Mickey. Strike. He got a fastball over. Right down the middle of that one.
The Giants are deep and around to the right for Mantle.
A bright, sunshiny afternoon. A strong breeze blowing in from left field.
As we said before, the wind normally quiet here until about 3 o'clock, but today it started moving in about 10 o'clock this morning.
Here's the pitch to Mickey. He swings and hits a high fly ball to left field.
Willie McCovey is waiting on it. Still waiting. He's got it.
Mickey Mantle out of the high fly to left field. No runs, no hits, no errors. One man left.
And the score at the end of the first half, the first inning, the Yankees nothing while the Giants coming to bat.
We'll be back with more exciting action from the seventh game of the 1962 World Series after this.
Excuse me sir, but what's that you're raising up there?
That's the prime rate going up today.
Oh, I see.
Some days it goes up, some days it goes down.
And what exactly does the prime rate do?
Mostly it scares people silly.
If the bank prime rate is scaring 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, Olds, Buick, Cadillac or GMC truck you want with help from GMAC.
The financing people from General Motors.
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 eighths inch inner diameter and are available only from participating true value hardware stores.
And now more action from game seven of the 1962 World Series.
Well, no scores. We go into the bottom of the first inning.
It'll be Philippe Allou to lead off for the Giants.
He'll be followed by the second baseman Chuck Heller and then the center fielder Willie Mays.
Ralph Terry completing his warm up tosses.
Elston Howard goes down to suck him with the throw and we're ready to go.
Allou, a right handed batter, has a 318 batting average.
Seven hits and 22 trips.
Allou has batted in one run in the series.
This is the second inning of the 23rd and 2nd.
It's a baby Allou.
A very large and enthusiastic crowd on hand here today.
And needless to say, giant routers here.
Ralph Terry gets ready.
The pitch to Allou. He swings and pops it up behind the plate.
Here's Howard coming back. It's going to be out of play.
This one back in the crowd.
One strike to Allou.
Terry won 23 ball games and lost 12 during the regular season.
As we said previously, he's won one and lost one in this World Series.
Allou taking a little time before he gets back in.
Leap right down on the end of the bat.
Terry into the wind up.
He swings and hits a pop fly outside of first base.
Skowron is over there waiting. He's got it.
Moose was battling the high sky on that one.
Philippe Allou fouls to the first baseman.
We'll bring up the second baseman, Chuck Hiller.
Chuck's a left handed batter. He has a 318 batting average.
Seven hits and 22 trips.
Chuck has one home run in this series.
That was a grand slam homer. He's batted in five runs.
Chuck chokes the bat.
Terry, a tall, slender right hander.
Chuck's his sign with Elston Howard.
The pitch. Ball. It's outside.
Hiller uses a big thick handle bat and during batting practice,
it was almost game conditions for him as he sprayed the ball all over the ball park.
He wasn't trying to hit one out of here.
He was just trying to hit it right up the middle and to left field.
Just hitting over the ball, hoping he could hit the ball down, get the ground ball base hit.
There's the one and oh pitch. He swings and fouls it back.
One ball, one strike.
Chuck has had a couple of hits in the left field and the Yankees are playing him that way.
Didn't get a chance to ask Alvin Dark, but I just wonder if it was on artist from him, George,
but batting practice was no playful matter with these Giants.
Larry Jansen threw a lot of curve balls and they were trying to do something with him.
The pitch to Hiller. He swings and hits a high fly ball down the left field line.
Here's Trash racing in the foul territory. Can't get it.
The ball is in the seats.
One ball and two strikes to Hiller.
Trash had a little bit of trouble as he got near the bullpen.
There was no chance to make the play, but I say trouble because he stumbled on the mound
and he's kind of flexing his legs out there now because it's a high mound in the bullpen
and he stumbled as he got near the wall.
The wind does not seem to be blowing quite as hard now as it did at the start of this ballgame.
One weatherman said here today the winds would be dying down during the afternoon.
Terry gets ready. Here's the one-two pitch.
Ball, it's down low. He got the fast ball over but too low.
The count is even to Hiller at two and two.
We're in the bottom of the first inning in case you joined us late.
There's no score in the ballgame.
Giants batting one out with no one on.
Here's the two-two pitch. He swings and hits a bouncer to first.
Garron has it. He steps on the bag and Chuck Hiller is out.
That's two down and here's the center fielder, Willie Mays.
Well, the applause reading Willie as he steps in.
Mays, a tremendous favorite here in San Francisco and well, he should be.
Willie's batting average in this series posted at 250.
Six hits and 24 trips.
Terry delivers. Here's a fly ball hit to left field.
Tommy Trash moving in.
He's got it. The side's retired.
Willie Mays sending a fly ball to Trash in left field.
No runs, no hits, no arrows, no one left.
And the score at the end of one full inning of play.
The Giants nothing, the Yankees nothing.
Game seven of the World Series of 1962 continues after this.
Now playing on New York's radio station, the New York Yankees.
We've got all the pinstripes and they're back on the field and back on the air.
Follow Winfield, Vanilla, Nettles, Mercer, Dent.
This is where New York follows its baseball team.
That's right, the Yanks are back and this is the place you can hear them.

Hello there, you. This is Johnny Donovan.
I'll try to stump you with some tough trivia questions tomorrow afternoon on New York's radio station.
W-A-B-C, New York.
I'm Mel Allen and you're listening to Baseball's Greatest Hits on 77, W-A-B-C, New York's radio station.
As we move along into the top of the second inning, there's no score in the ballgame.
The Yankees had a base runner in the first inning.
Bobby Richardson drew a walk, but he was stranded at first base.
His trash fell to the third baseman and Mantle flied to left field.
Roger Maris will be the leadoff man for the Yankees.
He'll be followed by Elston Howard and then Bill Scouran.
Roger has a 2-11 batting average, four hits and 19 trips.
One home run and five runs batted in.
Here's Sanford's first pitch. Ball, strike, he went up to the right hand.
Maris was going to bunt.
He raced up in front of the box, took the pitch and Landis went up to the right hand.
Sanford ready? The pitch.
Here's a line drive to the third baseman.
Maris hit that one like a bullet.
A liner right straight to Davenport at third base.
That'll not only make you talk to yourself, but you'll enjoy the conversation with yourself.
One guy over there hit a shot, something that Maris has been trying to do most of the series,
and hit the ball very hard.
Normally that would be a base hit, but Davenport playing wide of the bag,
the only man over there in lower Slobovia, and he comes up with the play.
Maris really mumbling as he went back to the bench and you can hardly blame him.
I know what he's thinking, Joe. Only one man in about 150 feet there,
and the ball hit like a bullet. He didn't have time to move and it's right in his glove.
Well, there's one away and the batter will be Olsten Howard.
Ellie has a 176 batting average, three hits in this series and 17 trips.
Strong right-handed batter. Here's the pitch.
Foul ball, it's back on the screen. One strike.
Sanford using the little kick motion on that pitch, the first time he's used it today,
but he's used it a lot throughout this series.
I was talking to some of the Yankees on the plane coming out here from New York,
and they said it was effective, very effective, especially with two strikes.
George, it's also a telltale for manager Alvin Dark.
When he gets sloppy with the leg movements, it's a tip-off he's getting tired.
The pitch to Howard. Here's a ground ball hit to the third baseman.
Davenport flips it over to first, he's out.
Olsten Howard goes out. Davenport to Sepeda.
That's two down and the batter will be Bill Scouran.
Bill has a 214 batting average. He has three hits in 14 trips.
One run batted in.
Bill right down on the end of the bat.
Sanford gets ready.
Here's the first pitch. Ball, it's inside. One ball and no strikes.
To give you an idea how hard the wind is blowing in from left field,
Scouran unloaded one in batting practice.
It looked like it was going into the bay and it hit the top of the fence and bounded back.
The one-and-oh pitch. A swing and a foul tipped.
This one falling right at the plate. One ball, one strike.
We're in the top of the second inning. There's no score in the ball game.
Two outs with no one on.
Haller taking a little time. That ball might have hit him on the hand.
Did nick him, George, and he walked out to kind of get his bearings back
as he flipped the ball to Sanford. Now he'll take a little bit of time giving the signs.
One ball, one strike to Scouran. Sanford gets ready.
Here's the pitch. Curve ball, it's up high. Ball two and strike one.
Sanford had great success against Howard and Scouran at Yankee Stadium.
He was keeping the curve ball low and on the outside part of the plate,
which is a good way to pitch anybody, Joe.
Make an announcer out of all those guys who keep it there.
Sanford taking a little time as he looks in.
Here's the two-one pitch. He swings and bounces it foul off to the left.
He's leaving the count at two and two.
How about those clubhouse meetings? When you get stuck, they always say,
well, keep that fast ball up and in. Be sure you get it in and that curve ball down.
You got to get it down, though. And of course, it's always high and tight,
low and away, which is the perfect pitching pattern.
If you could do that, that Hall of Fame would really be crowded with pitchers.
No hitters, definitely not. The only hitters that can hit that curve ball low and outside
is like Bob Skinner said. That's the ball players that have gone to announcing.
They can hit that curve ball low and outside.
Ball two and a strike, two count. The scour and Sanford taking too much time to suit Bill,
so he steps out. Moose just takes one step out of the box and looks out to Sanford
as if to say, what's the reason for the delay?
Now he's back in.
Here's the two-two pitch. Inside, he got the fast ball too close.
Three and two to Bill.
Two outs with no one on. Here on the top of the second inning, there's no score.
The seventh and final game of this 1962 World Series.
Sanford ready. The pitch.
Here's a ground ball hit slowly to the shortstop. Pagan has it. The throw to first, he's out.
Bill's Calloran goes out. Short to first.
No runs, no hits, no errors, no one left. And the score at the end of the first half,
the second inning, the Yankees nothing, the Giants nothing.
Back with more action from this classic World Series game of 1962 after this.
This was for you. There's no one else who works you quite the way you do. The way you do. So here's to you. For all you do. You know the king of games is coming through. For all you do.
This was for you. This was for you.
You know there's no one else who judges you quite the way you do. For all you do. This was for you.
And as a Bush, we say Bush.
I'm Mel Allen and you're listening to Baseball's Greatest Hits on 77 WABC, New York's radio station.
While we move along into the bottom of the second inning, no score in the ball game.
Willie McCovey will lead off for the Giants. He'll be followed by Orlando Cepeda and then the catcher Tom Haller.
It's Sanford against Terry here today in the seventh game.
These pitchers meeting for the third time in this World Series. They each have a win.
McCovey, a big left-handed batter, has a 182 batting average. Willie has two hits in the series and 11 trips.
He has one home run and one run batted in. The homer coming against Terry here at Candlestick Park.
The Yankees move deep and far to the right for McCovey.
Here's the first pitch. Ball outside. One ball and no strikes.
Terry, of course, will be trying to keep everything away from Willie.
He'll want to hit that outside corner. McCovey looking for something inside that he can pull down that right field line.
Here's the one and O pitch. He swings and pops it up outside of first base.
Here's Howard chasing it along with Skour and Elston Howard is going to take the play on it. He does.
A tough play for Howard as he was looking right up into the sun over near the giant dugout, but he made the catch.
So there's one away and the batter will be Orlando Cepeda.
One, two, three, third base, Orlando Cepeda.
Orlando's batting average at 188. He has three hits in 16 trips. All three of Orlando's hits coming in yesterday's game.
He has two runs batted in.
Terry ready. The pitch. Here's a ground ball hit down the third base line. It's foul. Boy, you're moving across the line.
A one strike down.
Orlando was having some fun in the clubhouse after the game.
Kidding with the newspaper man, how come they waited until yesterday to come around?
He said, I've been with the club all World Series. Nobody come around.
Of course, somebody just finally honestly gave the answer. He said, keep hitting and they'll be around. Don't hit and we'll see you.
Here's the one strike pitch. Curve, it's in the dirt.
Olsten Howard goes down on both knees to block this one. One ball, one strike.
The Yankees shade him a little bit to right center.
Mickey Mantle just a little bit to the right of second base, deep in the outfield.
Here's the one-one pitch. Strike two. He cuts the corner with a good hard slider. One ball, two strikes.
Cepeda hits very deep in the box.
Terry ready. The one-two pitch. Curve down low. That'll even the count at two and two.
Bottom of the second inning, there's one out with no one on. There's no score in the ball game.
Only one baserunner so far in this game. Bobby Richardson drew a walk in the first inning.
Terry looking in. Here's the two-two pitch. He swings and foul tips it right into the mid of Olsten Howard.
A strikeout for Ralph Terry. That's two down and the batter will be the catcher, Tom Hollard.
Tom has a 3.64 batting average. Four hits and 11 trips. That's one home run and three runs batted in.
Tom's a tall left-handed batter.
Terry into the windup. Here's the pitch. Strike. He got the fastball over the corner.
A one-strike count to Tom Hollard batting in the second inning with two outs and no one on.
The Yankees nothing and the Giants nothing.
Terry pounds his glove. Here's the pitch. High pop fly behind shortstop.
Kubek drifting back. Shades his eyes. He's got it. The side's retired.
Tom Hollard pops to the shortstop. No runs, no hits, no arrows, no one left.
And the score at the end of two, the Giants nothing, the Yankees nothing.

Game 7 of 1962, featuring superstars Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Mickey Mantle, and Roger Maris.
At the end of 2, there's no score. For the Yankees, no runs, no hits, no errors. For the Giants, no runs, no hits, no errors.
It'll be Cletus Boyer to lead off. He'll be followed by Ralph Terry and then Tony Kuback.
Jack Sanford still taking his warm-up classes. Jack was a little slow getting out to the mound.
Tom Haller makes the throw down to second base. Clete Boyer steps in. We're ready to go here in the top of the third inning.
Boy, this is it. All the pitchers are in the bullpen today.
Even Billy Pierce for the Giants and Whitey Ford.
For the Yankees, both said they would be ready to go again today.
Boyer, a right-handed batter, has a.278 batting average.
Clete has five hits in the series and 18 trips. Here's a line drive to right. Allou is there and he makes the pass.
Boyer hit that one like a bullet. That's straight to Allou in right field.
That's one away. And the batter will be Ralph Terry.
Here's Ralph coming on. Stops at the on-deck circle. He gets the rosin on his hands.
Willie Mays is the quarterback as far as the outfield is concerned. Moving the guys around.
He just moved McCovey in. Willie plays pretty deep for just about everybody with Ralph Terry up there.
Willie Mays wanting McCovey to move in because that wind is blowing directly in.
Real tough job. Hit one hard and a left field to get over his head.
Terry, a right-handed batter. Sanford ready. Here's the first pitch.
Strike. He got a fastball right down the middle.
A one-strike count to Ralph Terry. He's batting with one out and no one on in the third inning. No score in the ball game.
Sanford looking in. Here's the pitch.
Strike two. He caught the corner with this one. Strike two count.
The Giants have shortened up all around. McCovey, Mays, and Allou shortened up and playing Ralph a little bit to right field.
Sanford checks the sign. Here's the two-strike pitch. A swing and a miss.
He tried to check it, but he'd gone too far on the low curve ball. Terry goes down swinging.
It's the first strikeout in the ball game for Sanford. It's two down and the fighter will be Tony Kubek.
Tony sent a fly ball to Willie Mays his first time at bat.
Tony, a left-handed batter.
Sanford ready. Here's the first pitch. A swing and a miss. Low curve at the knees. One strike to Kubek.
The umpires today, Stan Landis is behind the plate. Jim Honachik at first base. Al Barlich at second base. Charlie Berry at third.
Ken Burkhart and Hank Sore down the lines. Here's a fastball outside. One ball and one strike to Kubek.
Ken Burkhart down the left field line and Hank Sore down the right field line.
Sanford gets ready. Here's the one-one pitch. Outside again, trying to catch the corner with a fastball. Ball two and strike one.
It's going to be a job for Kubek to try to hit a ball between McCovey and the line in left field.
McCovey really guarding that line as if he wants to give Willie Mays as much running room as possible, George.
Sanford into the windup. The two-one pitch. Here's a ground ball to left field. A solid base hit for Kubek as he punched an outside fastball between Davenport and Pagan into left field.
That's the first hit of the ball game. What's a runner at first base with two outs? And the batter will be Bobby Richardson.
Bobby drew a walk his first time at bat. Sanford wanted a new baseball after Kubek punched that one to left field. Stan Landis makes the exchange.
Oh, we'll keep an eye on Kubek at first base. He might be running here with two outs. He's thrown out. The Yankees would still have Bobby Richardson to lead off in the next inning.
Here's the pitch. Ball. It's up high. Bobby was ready to bunt. Shortened up, took the high pitch. One ball and no strikes. Davenport has moved in close at third.
Jimmy is playing about even with the bag right now. A scoreless ball game. We're in the top of the third inning. Sanford gets that.
Here's the one and oh pitch. Inside. Fastball in on the fifth. Ball two and no strikes. Jack has been having trouble getting the ball over to Bobby Richardson.
He walked him his first time at bat on a 3-1 pitch. Now he's behind with a ball two and a no strike count. Jack checks his runner at first base.
Quick throw to first. Kubek back in time. Boyer open this inning with a line drive to right. Terry struck out and Kubek single to left field.
Here's the pitch. Strike. He got the fastball. Quick throw to first. Kubek back in time. Tony slipped. Haller made a wide throw.
A good throw would have had him at first base as Kubek slipped. Bell trying to get back to first base and then he had to crawl to the bag.
But Haller's throw was wide and Orlando Cepeda had no chance to put the tag on him.
The tip off for the other base runners because Kubek wasn't really going anywhere. He was just trying to get back to first base. The footing is not solid.
Here's the pitch to Richardson. Inside. He checked his swing on a high inside fastball. It's three and one to Bobby.
Richardson out of the box for a moment looking down to third where he checks with Frankie Crossetti to see if the hit sign is on for this 3-1 pitch.
He's one of those guys too who likes to know if that runner is going to break up that infield because he can pick his spots.
Sanford gets that. Here's the pitch. Down low he walked him. Bobby Richardson walks again. That's two walks given up by Sanford. Both times it's been Bobby.
So the Yankees have runners at first and second with two outs and the batter will be Tommy Trash, the left fielder.
Tommy's 0-1. He fouled at Davenport his first time at bat. Well this is the first thread of the ball game. Two on with two outs.
Giants play Trash pretty much straight away. Sanford gets that. Here's the first pitch. He swings and hits a high pop fly down the left field line.
Davenport is chasing it along with McCovey but it's going back in the crowd. A high pop fly down the left field line near the giant bullpen.
The wind moving that one right back into the crowd. A one strike count to Tommy Trash. Tommy has eight hits in this series.
Duvec had seven going into this ball game. He's singled in this inning so he's all tied with Tommy for a number of hits.
Sanford taking a little time as he looks in. Boy he doesn't want to make a mistake here.
Here's the pitch. Ball outside. One and one to Trash.
There was a three run homer by Trash in Yankee Stadium that beat Sanford in the fifth game of this series. A three run homer coming with a score tied at 2-2.
Tommy chokes the bat a little bit as he waits. Here's the one-one pitch. Ball. It's up high. Ball two and strike one.
Boy you can hear the rumble through this crowd every time Sanford delivers a bad pitch.
Mickey Mantle is in the on deck circle Joe. You can bet that's one thing that Haller reminded Sanford about as he went out to talk to him.
The one defense that you can't come up with is the one for the base on balls and with the wind the way it is here in this ballpark you want them to hit the ball because right now it's blowing directly in and it's not going to help any ball hit anywhere.
It's going to hurt it but unless you get that ball in that strike zone you're going to be in serious trouble.
Sanford gets set. Here's the two-one pitch. Ball outside, way outside. Three and one to Tommy Trash.
Sanford is pitching high today. That is something unusual for him. In the first two games he was low Joe.
Right and the two tip-offs as far as the pitching of Sanford is the leg motion. If he gets sloppy with that or gets the ball up it's an indication that he's not really sharp.
He has to pitch down with everything. Jack taking a little time as he looks in. Yankees have runners at first and second with two outs.
Here's the three-one pitch. Strike two off the outside corner with a fastball.
Went right on the corner as he treaded the needle.
So it's three and two to Tommy Trash. The runners will be moving three, two, and two outs. Go back at second base Bobby Richardson at first base.
Sanford gets set. He whirls to throw to second. This holds the ball as nobody going over to cover.
Boy the pickoff play at second base yesterday that did not work was a vital play in the ball game.
Here's the pitch. A ground ball hit to the second baseman. Hiller has it. Here's the flip to Fergie now. Tommy Trash does out second to first.
No runs in the inning on one hit. There were nowhere else two men left and the score at the end of the first half of the third inning the Giants nothing, the Yankees nothing.
We'll be back with more exciting action from the seventh game of the 1962 World Series after this.
Hi, Pat Summerall to remind you that good household help is hard to find except at True Value hardware stores.
There you'll find a selection of quality designed rubber made products to provide helpful convenience all over the house.
Use rubber made stackable storage bins to organize kitchen utensils or in the family room to store small toys and sewing notions.
Rubber made shower accessories will help keep bathrooms looking neat.
Plus you'll find durable rubber made pitchers, waste baskets and more at participating True Value hardware stores and home centers.
And now more action from game seven of the 1962 World Series.
We're going to the bottom of the third inning. No score in the ball game. The Yankees making a thread in the top of this inning.
Two on with two outs and Trash bounced to the second baseman.
That was a pretty good indication of what manager Dark has been saying about Sanford all year that he just won't give into that hitter when he got the three and two.
It was a breaking ball at Trash hit.
And even though Mickey Mantle was on deck, the big home run hitter, Sanford was not going to give in to Trash and match him with the fastball.
He went to the breaking ball and Tommy was a bit out in front of it. Hit a nice round ball to Hiller and Sanford was out of it.
Dark has said it so many times that Sanford will just will not give into the hitter.
And that's been the difference in just being a good and a great pitcher.
Here's Jimmy Davenport to lead off for the Giants in the bottom of the third inning.
Ralph Terry delivers. Strike. He got the fastball over.
A one strike count. Davenport's batting average, 158. He has three hits and 19 trips.
Jimmy has one run batted in. Boy, he's made some great plays at third base throughout this series.
Here's a foul ball. It'll be out of play. It's been coming back into the upper deck.
A strike two count. Jimmy made one good play today.
Might have been in self-defense as Roger Maris slammed a bullet at him at third base. He got the glove up in time.
Terry ready. The pitch. Foul ball. He checked his swing.
Ball hit his bat, sailed over the giant dugout back into the lower deck.
Still strike two. We're in the bottom of the third inning. There's no score in the ball game.
Jimmy Davenport, the leadoff man for the Giants.
Terry into the windup. Here's the pitch. In tight. He pushed him back.
One ball, two strikes. Terry has thrown mostly fastballs today.
He will throw a lot of slow curves before the afternoon is over.
Here's the one-two pitch. Fastball hit on the ground foul.
Still a ball and two strikes. Joe, I think the wind might affect the pitching some way.
I think pitchers like to throw the curves into the wind, don't they?
When it's blown away, it is, George. You get that big break and they don't have good control of it.
I know, Terry, we mentioned it. He came out mighty, mighty early to warm up.
Here's the one-two pitch. Here's the curve. It's up high. Two and two to Davenport.
It's not that good quick breaker, that dive bomber type curve ball.
You can still control that pretty well, but that big lolly top, that big roundhouse curve ball,
that's the one that's a little bit of a problem on a day like today.
Terry gets ready. Here's the two-two pitch.
High fly ball hit down the right field line. Richardson chasing it along with Maris.
The wind is taking it away from Bobby and he can't make a play on it.
Bobby was having all kinds of trouble, not only with the wind, but with a high sky and the sun here.
He chased it over near the stands and he finally overran the ball. It fell behind him.
See, Bobby, take a look too at just how close he was to those stands.
It's a tough thing to get familiar with it because unless you hit the warning track,
which is some eight or nine feet from the stands, and you can feel that gravel under your feet,
you're really not sure where you are. There's a lot of room to roam here.
I tell you, you start to run a few feet, you can get lost. Bobby had all kinds of problems on that one.
Here's the two-two pitch. A swing and a foul tip. This one pops out of the mid of Howard coming behind the plate.
Still two and two. Jimmy Davenport, the laid-off man for the Giants in the bottom of the third inning.
Well, you can hear the rhythmic applause of the Giants fans as they want Davenport to get something going here in the third inning.
Ralph Terry delivers another foul ball. This will be out of play.
The Yankees have no runs on one hit. No errors. The Giants have no runs, no hits, and they have no errors.
The Yankees had a threat going in the top of this inning. They had two on with two outs,
but Tommy Trash bounced to the second baseman to end that one.
Here's the pitch. A ground ball hit foul down the third baseline.
And Davenport making Terry pitch here in the third inning.
Terry has good control. He'll be right around the plate all the time.
He's keeping these pitches low and away, and Davenport just getting a piece of them.
Jimmy chokes the bat, crouches over the plate. The 2-2 pitch. Another foul ball off to the left.
Still two and two. Well, the crowd getting quite a thrill out of this as Davenport has fouled off some seven or eight pitches.
It doesn't bother you too much when you catch him, when your fellow's trying like Davenport,
when they deliberately, like a hemos or a Harry Walker, used to just follow him off to get that base on ball.
That kind of bugged you a little bit.
Terry gets ready. The 2-2 pitch. There's a high foul ball hit in the shallow center field.
Richardson going out. Now Bobby's calling for it. He's got it.
Why? He wasn't at all sure of it. Bobby almost down on one knee as he made the catch on that one.
Now it was just a bit disgusting because Mickey thought he was going to catch that ball,
and that flag just blown directly in and flew right to Bobby Richardson.
And Joe is constantly checking with the flag. It could be a very embarrassing situation.
I still think this win, Joe, is going to be a big factor in this ball game before it's over.
It seemed to die down for a moment, but right now it is really whipping the flags in center field.
Here's Jose Pagan, the shortstop. Terry delivers a curve. He bounces it to third.
Boyer has it to throw to first. He's out. Pagan goes out on the first pitch, third to first.
Well, that's two down. It'll bring up the pitcher, Jack Sanford.
Pagan and Jack Sanford.
There's a big round of applause for Sanford as he comes on.
Boy, Jack has been quite a pitcher in this World Series.
Won the first game, 2-0. He was tied 2-2 in the second game he pitched, going into the eighth inning.
Two singles and a home run. And the Yankees won that one 5-3.
Ralph Terry delivers. Strike. He got the curve ball over. A one-strike count.
They'll treat this Sanford with a lot of respect. He's a pretty good hitter. He swings that bat.
Jack choking the bat as he waits on Terry. The pitch. Strike. Two. Fastball over the outside part of the plate.
A two-strike count.
We're in the bottom of the third inning. There's two outs with no one on. There's no score in the game.
The Giants and the Yankees in the seventh game of the 62nd World Series.
Terry gets ready. Here's the two-strike pitch. Fly ball hit in the center field.
Nicky Mantle is waiting on this one. He's got it. The side's retired.
Jack Sanford flying to Mantle in center field. No runs, no hits, no arrows, no one left.
And the score at the end of three. The Giants nothing, the Yankees nothing.
Game seven of the World Series of 1962 continues after this.
The 77 WABC. We like your style. An afternoon in Central Park. Manhattan skyline at the dark. A visit to the Statue of Liberty. Fifth Avenue and Wall Street. The highway where we all meet. As much a part of New York as WABC.
The crowd at subway stations. The United Nations. The nightlife that can set your spirit free.
Trip King in Newark. The railroads we're made to work. As much a part of New York as WABC. 77 WABC. Pop-a-licious bubble crowd. The ultimate bubble has the ultimate flavor.
Said an airline pilot named Evans, I'm tired of those 707s. So without any trouble, he blew the ultimate bubble. And now Evans orbits the heavens. The juiciest orange, wildest strawberry, boldest banana.
The ultimate bubble has the ultimate flavors. Taste so real, it'll blow you away. Pop-a-licious.
Mind if I look over your shoulder? That's the only book they have in the pyramid. Shh, this is a library. Gee, your hair smells terrific. What did you say? Gee, your hair smells terrific. Oh my God, your message. And so did the librarian.
When you use, gee, your hair smells terrific. Shampoo. Boy, say, gee, your hair smells terrific to you. Gee shampoo and conditioner for hair that's clean, shiny, manageable, terrific.
You're listening to Faceball's Greatest Hits, World Series Games of the Past on New York's Yankee Station.
W-A-B-C, New York.
Mickey Mantle will be the leadoff man in the fourth inning for the Yankees. He'll be followed by Roger Maris and then Elston Howard.
Mickey flied to left field his first time at bat. That was back in the first inning. Mickey, a switch hitter batting left-handed against the right-hander, Jack Sanford.
Only one hit in this game so far. That was a single to left field by Tony Kubek.
Sanford gets ready and here's the pitch to Mantle. Ball. It's up back. One ball and no strikes.
While warming up between innings, Tom Haller, the catcher, was really giving Sanford a low target, hoping that he could get him down.
He's been up with all his pitches and when a fellow is up like that, you try to give as low a target as possible, even out of the strike zone low, to make sure he holds on that ball a little bit longer.
Here's the one-and-oh pitch. Strike. He caught the corner with this one. One-and-one. Mickey turns to look to Stan Landis.
A ball and a strike to Mantle leading off for the Yankees in the fourth inning. A scoreless ball game here at Candlestick Park.
Another bright, sunshiny afternoon. Not a cloud in the sky here in San Francisco.
Strong breeze blowing in from left field, right straight to home plate. Now at one time it was blowing across to the corner in right field, but now it's blowing straight into the plate.
A pitch to Mickey. Here's a pop fly. It'll be out of play coming back in the crowd.
Mantle is trying to get out of the way of a high inside fastball to hit his bat and sails back. So it's one ball and two strikes.
Roger Maris is waiting in the on-deck circle.
Sanford taking a lot of time between pitches. Jack is being very careful here today.
Still checking his sign with Haller. Here's the one-two pitch. A swing and a miss. He struck him out. Mickey Mantle, a long curve ball, strikes out.
One away and the batter will be Roger Maris. Rides at a vicious line drive straight to Davenport, his first time at bat.
The Giants go deep and far to the right for Maris. They play him as a pull hitter all the way. Three infielders on the right side. Sanford delivers outside.
One ball and no strikes. We'll talk about stacking the deck, Joe. They not only put three infielders on one side, but they pitch him on the outside part of the play.
Put two outfielders behind the three infielders. Looks like a convention on that side.
Here's the one-and-oh pitch. He swings and hits a high fly ball down the left field line. Davenport is chasing it, but this one's going back in the crowd.
Well, some spectator, Joe, I think got hit with that one on the head trying to make a play. He probably found out how tough it is for these fielders today.
One ball, one strike to Roger Maris.
Roger right down on the end of the bat waiting on Jack Sanford. Here's the one-one pitch. He swings and hits a bouncer to third. Davenport has it. The long throw to first. He's out.
Roger Maris trying to punch the ball into left field. Hit a one hopper right straight to Davenport at third base. So there's two down and the batter will be Elston Howard.
Howard is 0-1. He bounced to the third baseman his first time in bat.
We're in the top of the fourth inning. There's two outs with no one on. There's no score in the ball game.
Here's the pitch. Strike. He got a fast ball over. One strike to Elston Howard.
The Yankees have had three baserunners. Bobby Richardson has walked twice. Kubek has had a single. The Giants have not had a baserunner in this game.
Here's the pitch. A high pop fly on the infield. Chuck Heller at second base is calling for it. Now Pagan is there and Pagan's going to make the play.
Heller has ball for the ball and Pagan playing the wind moved in near the bag at second to make the catch. No runs, no hits, no errors, no one left and the score at the end of the first half of the fourth inning.
The Giants nothing, the Yankees nothing. Back with more action from this classic World Series game of 1962 after this.
Let a three-time Indy 500 winner and current national driving champion tell you why he asks 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. And 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 10W-30 and 10W-40.
America has asked for Pennzoil since America learned to drive. Pennzoil, he asked for motor oil. Pennzoil.
I'm Mel Allen, and you're listening to Baseball's Greatest Hits on 77 WABC, New York's radio stations.
Now we move along into the bottom of the fourth inning. No score in the ball game.
George, you remember the little things about the different hitters. Philippe Olu, who's going to lead off this inning, has a leadoff man.
The Yankees have been going through the curve ball, and he's been jumping on the first pitch.
He's really become a first-ball hitter when he's in the leadoff slot. We'll see if he jumps on that first one this time.
Both Sanford and Terry hooked up once again. I think the individual pitching when these two guys hooked up has just been tremendous throughout the series.
Allen, another great one going here today. Philippe Olu to lead it off. He'll be followed by Chuck Heller and then Willie Mays.
Olu fouled to the first baseman, Scarron, his first time at bat. Philippe right down on the end of the bat, waiting on Ralph Terry.
Here's the first pitch. Ball, it's inside. One ball and no strikes. The Yankees play in the left field.
They play deep for Olu. This is the one-and-oh pitch. There's a high fly ball hit the shallow left.
Trash is having trouble with this when he's moving in now. Still racing in, and he makes the catch on the run.
Tommy Trash lost the ball. He was still looking up into the sky. At the last moment he came racing in, he caught it about knee-high.
During batting practice, all the outfielders, they couldn't wait to get out there and have the coaches hit them the high fly ball,
but really it doesn't help that much because the wind is constantly shifting. Right now it's blowing directly in.
What you can do is try to, what is it, Kentucky windage you used in the Army charge? You kind of play the wind.
I don't know, but I don't want to play that left field today. A shortstop or third base either on these muck flies.
Chuck Heller, the batter, bounced to the first baseman, his first time at bat. Terry delivers. Here's a fly ball hit in the shallow center.
Mickey Mantle is racing in. He's still coming, and he's got it. And Mickey was having trouble on that one as he was racing in from center field.
That's two down, and the batter will be Willie Mays.
Willie's 0-1 in this game. He sent a fly ball to Trash in left field his first time.
The Giants will hit a lot of balls in the air here today because Terry is that type pitcher.
He throws the fast ball up high, hit it up in the air, and he throws the slow curve ball.
They have a tendency to get under it and loft it into the air.
Here's the pitch to Willie. Fast ball, it's in there. One strike.
Mays the batter in the bottom of the fourth inning with two outs and no one on, no score in the game.
Here's the one strike pitch. High fly ball hit in the right center field. Mickey Mantle moving over.
This ball is carrying in. Now Mickey's having trouble. He makes a one-handed catch at the last moment.
Mantle seemed to lose the ball. Maris came racing over to catch it, and Mickey made a one-handed catch.
No runs, no hits, no arrows, no one left, and the score at the end of four, the Yankees nothing, the Giants nothing.
Back with more of baseball's greatest hits on 77 WAVC in just a moment.
Hi, I'm Dan Ingram. We'll see you Monday from 3 to 7 on 77 WAVC, New York's radio station.
Only the Army offers you a two-year enlistment with skilled training, travel, and college benefits. See your recruiter.
Paid for by the U.S. Army. Search presents the encounter.
The flank was at best uneventful. I took out my search. Refreshing. I guess she was a baggage claim, but it wasn't until...
Taxi! I think I was here first. Well, let's share the ride. I found myself face to face with the most beautiful girl in the world.
Glad I had that certs. Only certs has a great taste, plus a glistening drop of red sun and a fresh, clean flavor to get your breath fresh enough to go face to face.
Where are you going? Wherever you are. Certs. For breath that's face to face fresh.
77 WAVC with baseball's greatest hits. Special rebroadcasts of actual World Series games of the past.
Game 7 of 1962 featuring superstars Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Mickey Mantle, and Roger Maris.
Now George Kell and Joe Garagiola back at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. A scoreless ballgame as we go into the fifth inning.
No runs on one hit for the Yankees. No runs, no hits for the Giants.
Bill Scowron will lead off for New York. Bill bounced to the shortstop his first time. He swings and misses on a fastball. One strike.
It will be Scowron, Boyer, and Terry, the first three batters for New York.
Sanford gets ready. Here's the one strike pitch. Inside he gets the curve low and in. One ball, one strike.
The Yankees have had three base runners, two on walks, one on a single, and the Giants are looking for their first base runner.
Here's the one-one pitch. In the dirt with a curve, scooped up by Tom Haller. It's a ball two and a strike one count.
The Giants play Scowron deep and straight away. Bill hits to all field, mostly in the right center and left center.
He is not a pull hitter. He does not hit a lot of balls down the right field line.
Here's the pitch. He swings and bounces it foul through the coaching box at third base. Frankie Crossetti has to skip a little rope to get out of the way of this one.
Crossetti is coaching at third base, and Wally Moses, the coach at first base for the Yankees.
Two and two to Scowron, leadoff man for the Yankees in the fifth inning.
Here's the pitch. He swings and hits a ground ball to left field, just out of the reach of the gun.
Bill Scowron with a solid single. That's hit number two for the Yankees.
It's a runner at first base with no one out, and the batter will be Cleet Boyer.
Boyer hit the ball hard his first time at bat. He lined it straight to Alou in right field.
Cleet, a right-handed batter, 278 batting average in the series.
Here's the pitch. A swing and a miss. He was trying to drill the ball past Davenport at third base.
Jimmy playing in close. He is not looking for the bunt, but he's going to be ready in case Boyer drops one.
Sanford looking in. Jack taking a lot of time between pitches.
Checks his runner at first base. The pitch. Strike two. He got the slider over the outside corner.
A two-strike count to Cleet Boyer.
Bill Scowron opened this inning with a ground ball single to left. He's at first base with no one out.
Sanford checks the sign with Haller.
Here's the pitch to Cleet. Way outside with this one. Haller hanging that one in the webbing of his mitt.
They don't expect Boyer to try to hit that ball to right field. Second baseman Hiller is cheating towards the bag.
Pagan is kind of protecting that hole between short and third. It'll be Hiller who is over near second base to make the pivot.
Boyer choking the bat as he waits on Sanford.
Here's the one-two pitch. He swings and hits a slider in the left center. This may be up the middle. It is.
Scowron on his way to third. Boyer is going to hold on with a single as Willie Mays grabbed that ball and fired it into second base.
On a dry field, that ball would have rolled all the way to the fence. It hit in the wet dirt and stopped.
Willie Mays picked it up, rifled it into second base, and Boyer holds on with a long single.
Jack Sanford talking now with his catcher hands on his hips. He's a bit disgusted because that was a big high-hanging curve ball, and Boyer really jumped on it.
It was a room service pitch, and he just drilled it. I thought it was going to get by as it plugged the gap, but of course, Willie Mays in center field, one of the great ones,
keeps the double play in order by holding Boyer at first base with a real long single, and that curve certainly did stop that ball.
Well, the Yankees have runners at first and third. No one out, and the batter will be Ralph Terry.
Here's the way the Giants are going to play their infield, Davenport, even with the bag at third. He's ready for a play at the plate.
Sapeta, of course, holds against the runner at first base.
Hiller has moved in a couple of steps from second, and Pagan a step or so at shortstop.
Here's the pitch to Terry. Ball, it's in tight. One ball and no strikes.
See, the bullpen is up, George. Stu Miller, a right-hander, and Billy O'Dell, a left-hander, throwing for the Giants.
You can bet everybody's going to be ready in this ball game today. No score in the fifth inning. The Yankees are threatening.
Here's the pitch to Terry. Inside again, he almost hit him with a fastball. It's ball two and no strikes.
Bill Skowin opened this inning with a ground ball single to left.
Clayt Boyer followed with a long single in the left center, and the Yankees have runners at first and third with no one out.
Sanford gets set. A pitch to Terry. Inside again, another fastball to push him back.
Three and 0 to Terry. Sanford seems to be laboring a little right now. He was just aiming that pitch, Joe.
Exactly what he was doing. He was aiming it. His pattern has been to be wild high, and Haller, I'm sure, when a fellow has a pattern one way like wild high,
it's because he's standing straight up to throw it, and vice versa if he's bouncing the balls because he's bending too far and holding on too long.
But on this particular wild sequence of Terry, he's just been aiming the ball, trying to throw strikes, and hasn't been able to do it.
Here's a three and 0 pitch. Ball. It's down low. Terry draws a walk. That'll load the bases with no one out.
And here's manager Al Dark on the run out to the mound.
Sanford seemed to be laboring as he was pitching to Terry, especially on the last two pitches.
As Joe pointed out, he was just aiming the ball over the plate. Of course, he didn't get him over, so Terry draws a walk, and that's a big play for the Yankees.
And the big danger point to think that Alvin Dark is trying to protect against is that your pitcher letting up.
You don't want him to let up the throw or strike. You want him to keep good stuff.
And I'm sure if Alvin Dark is going to let him in, he hasn't made any decisions. Just standing out there talking while a bullpen is getting hot.
West Westrom is up, and he has just given a sign to Dark that if he wants to make a move, they are ready, but Sanford will stay in.
And about all a manager says when he comes out in a spot like that is that you've been a fine pitcher all year by throwing that ball hard.
Just cut it loose, don't aim it, and throw strikes. Give the infielders and outfielders a chance to make a play for you.
So the bases are loaded with no one out, and the batter will be Tony Kuback. Tony's had one hit in two trips.
He flied to center field in the first inning, singled in the third.
Sanford looking in to get the sign. Here's the pitch to Kuback. Ball outside. One ball and no strikes.
All the Giants are playing about halfway on the infield with the exception of Davenport, who is in even with the bag.
Jimmy is ready to make a play at the plate.
Sopeta, Hiller, and Pagan could go either way. It will depend on how hard the ball is hit.
If it's hit hard enough for the double play, more than likely they'll go in that direction. Otherwise, they'll be coming to the plate.
Here's the one and no pitch. Ball way outside with this one. It's 2-0 to Kuback.
Sanford having a little control problem.
Georgia might just go a step further on the defense, and the outfield is in very shallow, and on the fly ball,
with the way that wind is blowing, it might be a problem for Scarron to score.
Of course, these Yankees are letting Sanford pitch, and he's falling behind. He's 2-0.
Interesting to see what Hock is. Ordered right here.
Sanford into the windup to pitch. Strike! He got the fastball over.
Kuback was taking all the way on it.
Hock coming in with a fastball around the knees. It's a ball two and a strike one count.
A scoreless ball game. We're in the fifth inning.
The Yankees threatening. The base is loaded. No one out.
Sanford ready. Here's the 2-1 pitch. A ground ball hit to the shortstop.
They're going for two to second. One out. Back to first. A double play.
Kuback takes the ball to Fagan, who flipped it over to Hiller, and back to Cepeda in time for the double play,
as Bill Scarron comes in to score, and the Yankees go out in front one to nothing.
Boyer moves to third base with two outs, and the batter will be Bobby Richardson.
Bobby's been to the plate twice. He's walked both times.
Davenport still playing in close. He'll be watching a bun in this situation.
Here's the pitch to Bobby. A swing and a foul. This one back to the screen.
He's getting that ball up, and you can see him shake his head out on the mound.
Sanford a bit disgusted because he's been getting that ball up in their eyes,
and George Eave and I would take a whack at that high curve ball because you just can't order a better pitch
in that big, nice, high-hanging curve ball. And when Richardson saw that one, he had a pretty good cut at it.
They say all the country boys like the high fast ball, but I think everybody likes the high fast ball.
Boy, that's the international pitch.
A one-strike count to Bobby Richardson.
The Yankees have a runner at third base with two outs. They lead 1-0 in this game.
Sanford gets ready. Here's the pitch. High pop fly on the infield.
Zepeda at first base moving into foul territories there.
Richardson now at the first. One run on three hits for the Yankees.
No errors. One man left. And the score at the end of the first half of fifth inning,
the Yankees won and the Giants nothing.
We'll be back with more exciting action from the seventh game of the 1962 World Series after this.
You know, Mr. Howell, this old car here takes more gas than anybody else's in town.
No.
Ever think of trading it in? With all that chrome, it ought to be worth a lot.
Yeah, but look, who can buy a new car with the prime rate so high?
If the bank prime rate is scaring you out of a new car or truck, ask your GM dealer about GMAC.
GMAC has financing right now at rates that make sense.
So get that new Chevy, Pontiac, Olds, Buick, Cadillac or GMC truck you want with help from GMAC,
the financing people from General Motors.
And now, more action from game seven of the 1962 World Series.
Now we go into the bottom of the fifth inning.
Willie McCovey will be the leadoff man. He'll be followed by Orlando Cepeda and then Tom Heller.
The Yankees leading in this ball game by a score of one to nothing.
Bill Scourne had just called time.
He wants a pair of sunglasses from the Yankee dugouts, the bat boy moving out.
McCovey is 0 for 1 in the game. He fouled the catcher Howard his first time in bat.
Well, Sanford had the bases loaded with no one out, but he got out of it with only one run,
which was about as well as the Giants could hope for.
Here's the pitch. Strike. Terry delivers a fastball over the outside corner.
Willie McCovey, a tall left-handed batter.
Here's the pitch. Outside, trying to get the corner again.
One and one to Willie.
He'll be followed by Cepeda and then Tom Heller.
After this.
Now playing on New York's radio station, the New York Yankees.
We've got all the pinstripes and they're back on the field and back on the air.
Follow Winfield, Pennella, Nettles, Mercer, Dent.
This is where New York follows its baseball team.
That's right, the Yanks are back and this is the place you can hear them.
77 WABC.
He just gave you your keepsake diamond engagement ring and everyone staring at your hand
because a keepsake is special. With a keepsake, you can't make a mistake.
You're gonna be so proud. You're gonna feel like you're walking on a cloud. When you show them your keepsake diamond, you're gonna be so proud.
Jim, the jungle is so exciting.
In the binoculars, I can see it.
Wild beasts?
No, I can see Caffrey's sugarless gum has more flavor.
How can you see more flavor?
Look, the scale proves it. Caffrey weighs 32% more than Trident's smaller sticks.
Caffrey's got more gum and more flavor.
See, more gum gives you more flavor.
Jim, the leopard!
Don't worry, I've got him spotted.
You can see it's got more flavor. Caffrey's sugarless gum.
Hello, we're Ross and Wilson.
Join us tomorrow morning when we cure the common cold right here on New York's radio station.
WABC, New York.
This hits on 77 WABC, New York's radio station.
Well, at the end of five, the Yankees have one run on three hits and no errors.
The Giants have no runs, no hits, and they have no errors.
Ground ball by Hiller in the first to Schauer, and a ground ball by Paganda Boyer, and a ground ball by Tom Haller back to Ralph Terry,
the only ground ball's hit off the right hand of the Yankees.
And that's Sanford, got out of a big jam on the fifth, so once again they're hooked up.
Tommy Trash will be the leadoff man for New York.
He'll be followed by Mickey Mantle and then Roger Maris.
Tommy's 0 for 2. He fouled the third baseman back in the first inning, and he bounced a second in the third inning.
Sanford ready, and here's the pitch.
High foul ball, it'll be out of play.
This one off the third base side.
One strike to Tommy.
A 1-0 ball game. We're in the top of the sixth inning.
Trash chokes the bat as he waits on Sanford.
The pitch, he bumps, it's up in the air.
Sepeta is moving in fast and makes the catch.
Tommy Trash trying to drag the ball down the first baseline, popped it up.
Orlando Sepeta moved into foul territory to make the grab.
That's one away, and the batter will be Mickey Mantle.
Mickey has flied to left and struck out in two trips.
The Yankees won, the Giants nothing here in the sixth inning.
Here's the pitch to Mantle.
Ball down low.
One ball, no strikes.
Boy, a Lou is deep in right field and near the line.
May is playing just a little bit in the right center, not too much, and McCovey playing in straightaway left field.
They're all deep.
Sanford into the windup, the 1-0 pitch.
Down low, another curve below the knees.
Ball two, and no strikes.
The Yankees picked up a run in the fifth inning.
That's been the only scoring in this game.
Sanford gets ready.
Here's the 2-0 pitch.
Outside, this one off the corner.
3-0 to Mickey.
The fellow hasn't been hitting, and has the power of Mantle.
He certainly has to be careful.
He might turn him loose 3-0, see if he can pick up a quick run.
The Mickey's right down on the end of the bat, waiting.
Here's the pitch.
Down low, he walked him.
I believe he was going to swing at it.
Mickey was ready, but the pitch was too low.
So Mantle draws a walk.
That's the fourth walk given up by Sanford, and the batter is Maris.
George Don Larson gets up in the giant bullpen now, and starts to loosen up.
So there is a third pitcher in the bullpen used by a manager, Alvin Dark,
General Dell, Stu Miller, and now Don Larson.
Roger Maris has lined to the third baseman, and bounced to the third baseman in two trips.
Mantle at first base with one out here in the sixth inning.
Sanford gets set.
Makes a quick throw to first.
He is out.
Mantle at first base.
Jack Sanford caught Mickey Mantle leaning towards second.
He made a quick throw to first, and he picked him off.
Oh, there's two outs.
Roger Maris, the batter.
Here's the pitch.
Strike, he got a fastball over.
Boy, that play brought this crowd to its feet.
Mantle taking a big lead.
Obviously, he was going to move on the first pitch.
Sanford caught him leaning, made a quick snap throw to first, and Sepeda put the tag on him.
The pitch to Maris, outside.
One ball, one strike.
Once again, the Giants are in the shift.
They have three infielders on the right side.
Sanford taking a little time as he looks in.
Here's the one-one pitch.
Outside again.
Just off the corner with a good fastball, ball two and strike one.
I would imagine in this spot that Maris will be going to right field.
The first two times he was going to left, but batting now with two outs and no one on,
he has but one thing in mind.
Let's just try to hit the ball out of the ballpark.
Sanford ready.
The two-one pitch.
There's a tap down the first baseline.
Sepeda picks it up, the race to the bag, Orlando wins it.
No runs, no hits, no arrows, no one left.
And the score at the end of the first half, the six winnings.
The Yankees won, the Giants nothing.
Back with more of baseball's greatest hits on 77 WABC in just a moment.
This one's for you.
Anheuser-Busch, St. Louis.

Game 7 of 1962 featuring superstars Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Mickey Mantle, and Roger Maris.
Well, we go into the bottom of the sixth inning.
The Yankees out in front of the Giants by a score of 1 to nothing here in the seventh game of the 1962 World Series.
Boy, this is it.
You play all season long and you come right down to one big ball game.
And another capacity house here in Candlestick Park today watching this seventh game.
The attendance exactly as it was yesterday, George, 43,948.
They jammed everybody they could get in yesterday and they all come back today.
And I'll tell you something, Joe, there's a lot of people downtown wanting to come.
He deserves.
Jimmy Davenport will lead off for the Giants.
He'll be followed by Pagan and then Jack Sanford.
Terry delivers.
Strike.
He got the fastball over around the knees.
Davenport popped to the second baseman his first time at bat.
Jimmy's a right-handed batter.
There's the one strike pitch.
A curve ball hit on the ground foul down the third baseline.
Rolling to the bullpen right field, left field.
A strike two count.
Ralph Terry against Jack Sanford.
Third meeting in this series for these two pitchers.
There's the two strike pitch.
Ball, he got it outside.
One and two to Davenport.
That pitch was close.
Terry trying to get Davenport to swing at a bad one.
Yankees play him straight away, not too deep.
Ralph into the windup.
There's the one-two pitch.
High foul ball.
This will be out of play.
Coming over behind the Giant dugout.
Still one ball, two strikes.
The Yankees picked up a run in the fifth inning.
That's been the only scoring in the ball game.
They used two singles and a walk to load the bases.
Then Kubek hit into a fast double play.
Skowrin coming in with the run.
Here's the pitch.
Another foul ball.
Almost the same spot.
Still one ball, two strikes.
Stan Landis, the umpire behind the plate, moving out.
Throws the new ball out to Ralph Terry.
Ralph gets ready.
The pitch.
Curve.
It's way up high.
That'll even the count at two and two.
Jimmy Davenport, leadoff man for the Giants in the sixth inning.
Jimmy with a 1.58 batting average.
He's been to the plate 20 times in this series.
He's had three hits.
He's been a sterling performer at third base for the Giants.
Here's the 2-2 pitch.
High pop fly outside of first.
Skowrin is chasing it.
This is going to be trouble.
It is in the seats back in the first row.
Skowrin and Bobby Richardson chasing it over near the barrier.
Landed in the first row.
Still two and two to Davenport.
You remember Jimmy's first trip.
He fouled off about eight or nine pitches.
And he's right back at it again.
Jimmy chokes the bat as he waits on Terry.
There's the 2-2 pitch.
Outside.
Yelston Howard was ready to fire it down to third.
He thought he had a call third strike.
But Landis said it was off the corner.
So it's three and two to Davenport.
Ellie taking a little time.
Walked out in front of the plate.
Flipped the ball back to Terry.
There's the 3-2 pitch.
There's a high fly ball hit to left field.
Trash going back.
Now he is moving in shading his eyes from the sun.
And he makes the catch.
Jimmy Davenport.
Out on a high fly ball to Tommy Trash in left field.
That's one of those, George, that you talk about.
The wind wasn't blowing to be out of here.
Moose Garner was talking about wanting it yesterday.
And Davenport hit that ball well.
But right into that wind and forget about it.
That's a tough spot that went out of here today.
I tell you, Joe, this Ralph Terry knows what he's doing out there.
He's taking advantage of this wind.
Getting that fastball up around their letters.
Hit it up in the air because it's going to be tough to hit one out of here today.
Jose Pagan, the batter.
He bounced to Boyer at third base his first time at bat.
Jose, a right-handed batter.
4-12 batting average starting the series.
Here's a high fly ball down the third baseline.
This is curving over near the seats.
Boyer chasing it, but it's going back in the crowd.
You always look for those escape valves as far as outfields are concerned.
For example, in the stadium, it's right center and left center.
In the polo grounds, dead center field, make them hit that way.
Here in this ballpark with this wind blowing the way it is today,
it would be from the left field foul line all the way over to right center field.
Because it is a tough one blowing in.
If you can get that ball up and in to the right hand hitter, let him hit it that way.
Ralph Terry looking in.
Pagan waiting.
Here's the pitch.
It swings and pops it up outside of third.
Boyer is chasing it.
The wind is bringing it over near the seats.
He's there and makes the catch.
Boy, Elston Howard is right there with him too.
Ellie has picked up some pointers, Joe, in this part.
He goes all the way down as he knows the wind is bringing it back to home plate.
Can't wait to see when that ball's going to land.
You better take off.
There's been many descriptions for this ballpark.
Looper, dead of the braids, had a good one.
He says that this is the only ballpark where you can sit in a dugout and read the morning paper as it blows by.
Well, there's two down and the batter will be Jack Sanford, the pitcher.
Jack fly to man on his first time at bat.
He swings and lands it in the right center field.
Man is chasing it.
He can't get it.
Sanford going to hold on with a single.
Jack Sanford picked on the first pitch and he landed in the center field, a solid hit.
And that's the first giant baserunner in this ballgame.
Ralph Terry had retired 17 men in a row until the pitcher Jack Sanford broke the spell with a line single in the center field.
And on a dry day, that ball might have skipped by a man all the way.
The Giants have a runner at first base with two outs and the batter will be Philippe Allou.
Philippe has fouled at first and fly to left in two trips.
Takes a fastball down low.
One ball and no strikes.
A runner at first with two outs.
We're in the bottom of the sixth.
The Yankees lead one to nothing.
Boyer has just given up his first hit and the Giants have their first baserunner in the game.
The pitch to Allou.
A bouncing ball down the third baseline.
Boyer will have to hurry to throw.
He got him.
A slow bounder to third.
Boyer flipped it over to Scour.
No runs on one hit.
There were no arrows.
One man left.
And the score at the end of six, the Yankees won and the Giants nothing.
We'll be back with more exciting action from the seventh game of the 1962 World Series after this.
77 W.A.B.C.
This is the man they all want to see.
This is the man who sells out concert halls wherever he goes.
This is the man who's now surpassed Elvis Presley in concert attendance.

Oh, God's sakes.
Turn around.
We'll be choosing correct colors at random and the tickets are furnished by Monarch Entertainment.
Kenny Rogers in concert and we've got tickets.

Gypsy, what's in your crystal ball?
I can see it.
My dream girl?
No, I can see Carefree sugarless gum has more flavor.
How can you see more flavor?
Look, the scale proves it.
Carefree weighs 32% more than dried and smaller sticks.
I can see it.
Carefree's got more gum.
More flavor.
It's crystal clear.
More gum gives you more flavor.
But what about my dream girl?
Would you settle for a happy medium?
You can say it's got more flavor.
Carefree sugarless gum.
You're listening to Baseball's Greatest Hits.
A special series rebroadcasting actual games from World Series of the Past.
On 77 WABC, New York's Yankee Special.
And now, more action from Game 7 of the 1962 World Series.
Now we go into the seventh inning.
The Yankees in front of the Giants, one to nothing.
It'll be Elston Howard to lead off for New York.
It'll be followed by Bill Scaron and then Fleet Boyer.
Ellie's been to the plate twice.
He bounced to the third baseman in the second inning and popped to the shortstop in the fourth inning.
The only scoring in this ball game coming in the fifth inning.
The Yankees loaded the bases with no one out on two singles and a walk.
And Kubek bounced into a double play.
The run coming across.
One run, three hits and no errors for New York.
No runs on one hit and no errors for the Giants.
Sanford taking a little time.
Jack was a base runner in the sixth inning.
He was a little slow getting back to the mound.
Here's the pitch.
Ball, it's down low.
One ball and no strikes.
While you talk about the pressure on the ball games in the seventh game of the series,
how about the umpires, especially the fellow behind the plate, Stan Landis?
He's got a lot of important calls to make today.
Here's a strike.
Fast ball coming in around the knees.
Like the old saying, George, when they do the great job, you hardly even know they're out there.
We hardly recognize them because of the outstanding job that all of them have done.
Here's the 1-1 pitch.
A high pop fly down the right field line.
This is curving back into the crowd.
Sleepaloo chasing it.
He had no chance to get it.
One ball, two strikes.
Cowards, Gowron and Boyer will be the Yankee batters here in the seventh inning.
They lead the Giants 1-0.
Sanford taking a look in to Tom Haller.
Ellie choking the bat a little bit with two strikes.
Here's the pitch.
Ball, it's in tight.
Fast ball coming in high and tight.
A ball, two, and a strike, two count.
Giants playing deep and around to the left for Elston Howard.
Here's the 2-2 pitch.
Outside, he tried to get the corner with a slider.
Three and two to Ellie.
Moose Scowron is waiting in the on-deck circle.
Yankees batting in the seventh inning.
They lead 1-0.
No one out, no one on.
A full count to the catcher Howard.
Here's the pitch.
He swings and bounces it foul down the third baseline.
Still three and two.
Sanford with a new baseball, rubbing it up, taking a little time.
Shaq has been a slow and deliberate pitcher here today in this all-important ball game.
Here's the pitch.
A ground foul right at the plate.
Ball bounced up, hit Howard, and Haller grabbed it on the first hop.
Still three and two.
Howard talking to himself as he walks away from home plate.
It looked like he had his pitch and just didn't hit it.
It's one of the real joys of catching is listening to the conversation of these hitters
when they talk to themselves.
Hank Sauer, who is with this giant organization, one of the best, he'd talk and he'd answer himself
and he'd always get on himself pretty good.
Here's the pitch.
A swing and a miss.
He's stuck it out.
Shaq Sanford coming in with a curve ball on the 3-2 pitch, and Elston Howard strikes out.
That's one away, and the batter will be Bill Scott.
Well, the Moose has had one hit in two trips today.
Bounced to the shortstop in the second inning, singled in the fifth.
Sanford ready.
Here's the pitch.
Here's a high fly ball hit into deep center field.
Mays going back.
Now he's going to have to come in in the left center, and McCovey is there finally to make the play.
Willie Mays chased that one all over the outfield, and finally Willie McCovey in left center made the play.
Tell you, George, I've seen some outfield play during the course of this year where at times you think you're watching an old Keystone Cop movie.
One fellow will be ready to make the play, and zoom, somebody will cut in front of him and make it.
And there you saw Willie ready to make it, and McCovey made it easily.
Wind is a big factor here.
McCovey act like he had it all the way, and Mays have been chasing it all over the outfield.
Well, there's two down, and the batter will be Cleet Boyer.
Cleet's one for two in this game.
Takes a spike around the letters.
Boyer has hit the ball hard both times.
He lined to Alou in right field in the third inning.
In the fifth inning, he lined a long single in the left center.
On a dry day, it would have been an extra base hit and would have driven in a run.
Here's a ground ball hit up the middle.
Pagan can't get it.
He goes into center field.
Boyer getting his second hit.
A ground ball through the middle to center field.
Well, that's a big play for the Yankees, Joe.
Get that pitcher up and out of there.
Yes, sir, bringing that pitcher to the plate here instead of making him a leadoff man in the eighth inning.
Now, we're waiting right now for Terry to come on.
That's why an eighth spot is always such a tough one, George.
You don't get that good ball ahead.
If you have a fellow scoring position, you have to widen your strides on, try to drive it in.
In a spot like this, you've got to go for the unexpected pitch to get that base hit,
and hope you get your pitcher up there and not make a leadoff man out of him.
Nice round of applause for Terry as he comes on.
Boy, he's been quite a pitcher here today.
He has allowed one hit, and that's been the only base runner for the Giants.
Boyer at first base with two outs.
The pitch to Terry.
A path, one ball, no strikes.
Ralph struck out in the third inning, and in the fifth inning, he drew a walk.
Terry told me before the ball game today he had one big ambition, that's to get a hit in the series.
Here's the pitch.
A ground ball hit in the left field.
There's his base hit just out of the reach of Davenport,
and Ralph Terry comes through with a ground single to left.
Saw the Yankees after the first two batters had been retired here in the seventh inning.
A threatening, they have runners at first and second.
Two outs, and the batter will be Tony Kubek.
Let's hit number five for New York.
Kubek's had one hit in three trips today, flying to center field in the first inning,
single in the third, hit into a double play in the fifth.
Both hand for the Giants, jumps up again.
The left-hander is Billy O'Dell, and the right-hander, Don Larson.
Two on, two outs.
Samford taking a little time as he looks in.
Here's the pitch to Kubek.
A ball, it's up high, one ball and no strikes.
Samford has been quite a pitcher here today.
I'd say the only difference in this performance today and the other two
that he's given in this World Series, he's been high today.
He has not been able to get the ball down around the knees, as he would like to do.
Here's the one-and-oh pitch.
Here's a liner down the left field line.
McCovey is chasing it.
It's curving foul back into the crowd.
Boy, Willie is playing him right over there on the line.
One ball, one strike.
Kubek will hit a lot of balls in the left field.
I'll tell you another thing right here, Joe.
It's going to be tough for Boyer to score on a base hit to the outfield
unless he pulls it into right.
Now, Mays and McCovey are both playing in close.
Samford gets that.
Here's the one-one pitch.
Here's a high-flab ball hitting the left center field.
McCovey and Mays are both there.
McCovey is calling part.
He's got it besides your time.
No runs on two hits.
No arrows to that left.
And the score at the end of the first half is 7-10.
The Yankees won the Giants' nothing.
Game 7 of the World Series of 1962 continues after this.
Now listen, but listen quick, because it comes and goes just like that.
The Pennzoil Chaparral, 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 RPM.
Does it mile after mile after hard-running mile, race after race after race.
The Pennzoil Chaparral.
It has Pennzoil written on it and Pennzoil in it.
Protection for a winner.
Pennzoil Motor Oil.
Protection for cars like the Chaparral and cars like yours.
Ask for it.
America has asked for Pennzoil since America learned to drive.
Pennzoil, he asked for Motor Oil.
Pennzoil.
I'm Mel Allen, and you're listening to Baseball's Greatest Hits on 77 WABC,
New York's radio station.
Now we're going to the bottom of the seventh inning.
The Giants trailing the Yankees by a score of 1 to nothing.
It'll be Chuck Hiller to lead off for San Francisco.
He'll be followed by Willie Mays and then Willie McCovey.
The crowd's standing here for the seventh inning stretch and they are singing with the band that they're playing in deep center field.
Probably the Giants' fight song.
It's hard for us to pick it up here on the radio.
Chuck Hiller at the bottom.
He's 0 for 2 in the game.
Here's the pitch.
He bounce it up in the air.
Terry spears it.
A good play by Terry.
Had the ball gotten over his head, more than likely, Hiller would have been on.
Terry, moving back of the mound, reached up and speared the pop clap.
Oh, there's one away and the batter is Willie Mays.
Willie's 0 for 2.
He's flied to left and flied to center in two trips.
The Yankees deep and around to the left for Willie Mays.
Terry delivers a curve ball.
He lines it down the left field line.
Trash racing into the corner.
He's got it, a one-handed catch by Trash.
He caught the ball, then went out of our sight back into the corner, but he hung onto it in the webbing of his glove.
Willie Mays making a bid for an extra base hit into the corner in left field is robbed on a fine play by Tommy Trash.
That's two down and the batter will be Willie McCovey.
Boy, it's amazing how this kid, Tom Trash, has made the move from the infield to the outfield and he has not missed a step.
He has taken it in stride.
This was just one of the plays of this series right there.
Willie McCovey, the batter.
Willie has fouled to the catcher and flied to left in two trips.
Here's the pitch.
There's a long foul ball down the right field line.
This one will go all the way out of the park.
A one-strike count to Willie.
Bill Stafford, a right-hander, and Bud Daley, a left-hander, throwing in the bullpen.
Roger Ralph House wants to keep him ready.
Terry gets ready.
The pitch to McCovey.
Ball down low.
He checked his swing on a slow curve.
One ball, one strike.
The Giants are batting in the seventh inning.
There's two outs with no one on.
The Yankees lead one to nothing.
Here's the one-one pitch.
He swings and hits a drive into deep center.
The batter is chasing it in deep center.
He can't get it all the way to the fifth.
Here's McCovey going into second.
He's going to try for three.
Oh, he got him down.
He's got it.
Willie McCovey has just slammed one 410 feet away over Mickey Mantle's head into deep center field, and he has raced into third base with a stand-up triple.
In fact, he made a big turn at third base as if he might come on in, but he was very wisely held up by Whitey Lockman.
So the Giants have a tying run at third base with two outs, and the batter will be Orlando Cepeda.
Elston Howard taking a little time right now as he goes out to the mound for a short conference with his pitcher.
This ball hit by McCovey was on a line.
It never did get very high.
The wing had no chance to push it back.
A runner at third with two outs.
Terry Reddy. Here's the pitch.
Cepeda takes a fastball up high.
One ball and no strikes.
Orlando struck out in the second, popped to Bobby Richardson in the fifth inning.
Terry, taking a little time, looks in to get the sign.
Here's the one-and-oh pitch.
He swings and hits a high foul that'll be out of play down the right field line.
One ball, one strike.
The Yankees won. The Giants nothing. We're in the seventh inning.
Willie McCovey is at third base with two outs.
It's only the second hit given up by Ralph Terry.
Jack Sanford, the pitcher, got the other one.
Boy, this crowd has come alive, as you can hear.
They are roaring, wanting Cepeda to come through.
Here's the one-one pitch.
A swing and a miss on a bad curveball.
He foul-tipped it, says Stan Landis, right into the myth.
Terry, delivering a low outside curve, got Cepeda to bite.
One ball, two strikes.
Yankees straight away, everybody back on the infield.
Here's the one-two pitch. Foul ball. This'll be out of play.
Terry trying to get the fastball by him, evidently figuring that Cepeda would be looking for a curve.
But Orlando had a riffle at it.
Still one ball, two strikes. Once again, Howard going out to the mound for a conference with Terry.
Kelly's going to take a little time right now as he stands on the mound talking to Ralph Terry.
Action in the Yankee bullpen. Bill Stafford, a right-hander, and Bud Daley, a left-hander, throwing.
Boy, this is it. There's no saving anybody for tomorrow or next week.
This is the seventh ball game of the 62 World Series.
Terry gets ready. Here's the one-two pitch.
A swing and a miss. He's stuck him out. Cepeda going for a high fastball, strikes out.
No runs on one hit. There were no errors. One man left.
And the score at the end of seven, the Yankees won, the Giants nothing.
Back with more action.

You're listening to Baseball's Greatest Hits, World Series Games of the Past on New York's Yankee Station.
W-A-B-C, New York.
I'm Mel Allen, and you're listening to Baseball's Greatest Hits on 77 W-A-B-C, New York's radio station.
Well, at the end of seven, the Yankees have one run on five hits and they have no errors.
The Giants have no runs on two hits and they have no errors.
As Sanford gets ready to go here in the eighth inning, the Giant Bullpen comes alive again.
Billy O'Dell, a left-hander, and Stu Miller, a right-hander, are throwing.
They have been throwing along with Don Larson throughout the afternoon.
Bobby Richardson will lead it off. Bobby has walked twice and fouled to the first baseman.
So officially, he's 0-1 in this game.
Sanford gets ready. Here's the pitch to Bobby. He swings and hits a high hopper to the shortstop.
Pagan has it to throw to first. He is safe at first base.
The throw is up high. It got away from Sepeda, and Bobby Richardson is safe at first.
It'll be an error charged against the shortstop.
So the Yankees have a runner at first base. There's no one out and the batter will be Tommy Trash.
Sanford taking a little time as he goes over to talk to his third baseman, Davenport.
Probably discussing the bunt situation that very definitely is in order here.
The Yankees lead by one. We're in the eighth inning. Bobby Richardson at first base with no one out.
And Whitey Ford is throwing in the bullpen for the Yankees. How about that?
Whitey was the starting pitcher in yesterday's ball game. He's warming up today.
Sanford gets set. Here's the pitch to Trash.
Strike. He got the fastball over the outside corner. Tommy squared around. He was ready to bunt.
Pull the bat back and Stan Landis went up with the right hand.
Well, with Mantle and Maris coming up.
Manager Ralph Halk wants to move Bobby Richardson down into scoring position.
Sanford ready. Here's the pitch. Outside, Trash was ready to bunt. One ball, one strike.
Davenport is playing in close at third. Jimmy's about five steps in front of the bag and moves in as Sanford delivers.
Cepeda holding against the runner and he'll move in with the pitch.
Tommy Trash batting left-handed waiting on Sanford. Here's the one-one pitch.
He bunts at his foul. This one is rolling behind the plate. One ball, two strikes.
Tommy is trying to get the bunt down the first base line as Davenport is racing in from third.
It would almost be suicide to bunt the ball to him. Fouls it back.
One ball and two strikes. Sanford working slowly here in the eighth inning.
Yankees with a one-run lead have a runner at first base, no one out. Here's the pitch.
Outside, Trash checked his swing just in time on a fastball that was off the corner.
That'll even the count at two and two.
Mickey Mantle is waiting in the on-deck circle.
Sanford checks his runner. The pitch. Outside again. Once again, Jack trying to thread the needle on the outside corner is missed.
So it's three and two to Trash. Well, we'll watch the runner. He might be moving on his three-two pitch.
Sanford has picked a runner off first base today, so Bobby Richardson, of course, is going to be mighty careful getting a lead.
Sanford gets set, makes a quick throw to first. Bobby back in time.
It's a foul count to Tommy Trash. A runner at first base, no one out.
Here's the pitch. There goes the runner. Here's a liner. One hop to the shortstop. He gets away from him.
Here's a throw to first. He's safe at first base. Trash hit that one like a bullet. A low liner that hit right in front of Pagan.
Bounced out of his glove over toward second base. He picked it up, made the throw to first, but it was not in time to get Trash.
It'll be an infield single for Tommy.
He's hit number six for the Yankees, puts runners at first and second with no one out.
And the batter will be Mickey Mantle.
Well, there's the value of moving on the 3-2 pitch. Had Richardson not been moving, he would have been an easy out at second base.
But Pagan, realizing he had no chance to get Bobby, hurried his throw to first base, but it was too late to get Trash.
So, two on, no one out, and Mickey Mantle the batter. Mickey's 0 for 2 in this game. He walked his last time.
Sanford gets set. Here's the pitch to Mantle. Ball in tight. One ball and no strikes.
Well, Davenport is playing in close at third. Jimmy's ready for the bunt in case Mickey bunts.
Sepeda, Hiller, and Pagan are playing about halfway. They are not looking for the bunt.
In fact, Sepeda is deeper than anybody else on the infield.
Sanford checks his runners. Here's the 1-0 pitch. A swing and a foul. This one back into the crowd.
One ball, one strike.
The good thing about having a batter like Mantle at the plate in a bunt situation, you don't have to worry too much about a double play ball,
as Mickey has such tremendous speed, that doesn't mean he cannot hit into a double play, but the chances are against it.
So instead of a bunt play, as in this situation, manager Ralph Halk can let Mickey swing away,
figuring that he'll still move at least one runner up.
Here's the 1-1 pitch. Outside, ball 2 and strike 1.
Billy O'Dell, a left-hander, is still throwing in the bullpen, and Don Larson has replaced Stu Miller for the Giants.
So it's Larson and O'Dell, a right-hander and a left-hander.
Mickey Mantle right down on the end of the bat, waiting on Jack Sanford.
There's two on with no one out here in the eighth inning.
The Yankees lead the Giants by a score of 1-0. They've out-hit the Giants 6-2.
Bobby Richardson is down at second base. Tommy Trash at first base.
Sanford gets ready. Here's the 2-1 pitch. A swing and a miss. Low curve ball around the knees, and Mantle had a ripple out of it.
A ball 2 and a strike 2 count. Roger Maris is waiting in the on-deck circle.
Sanford taking a lot of time. Looks in to Tom Haller to get the sign.
Looks back to second to check his runner. Here's the pitch.
Down low, we get the curve in the dirt. Nice pick-up by Haller, who went down on both knees to block it.
It's always 3-2 to Mantle. Will the runners be moving on this 3-2 pitch? We'll wait and see.
It paid off for Ralph Halk when he had Richardson running on a 3-2 pitch to Trash.
Oh, we'll check him again.
Sanford checking the sign. Shaking his head yes to Tom Haller.
Here's the 3-2 pitch. Here's a line at the right field. It's in there.
Bobby Richardson coming to third, but he's going to be held up.
Mickey Mantle lined the ball just out of the reach of the second baseman, Hiller.
Now Bobby Richardson had started back to second. He thought Hiller might catch the ball, so he was held up at third.
So the bases are loaded with no one out, and here's Al Dark coming out.
We might get a pitching change here. I believe we are. He is giving the call to the bullpen, and it's going to be Billy O'Dell.
Now here's a big round of applause here at Candlestick Park in San Francisco as Jack Sanford leaves the mound.
And he has been a tremendous pitcher for the San Francisco Giants this year, not only here in the World Series, but throughout the season.
And they're giving him a standing applause as he leaves the mound.
The Yankees have loaded the bases here in the eighth inning with no one out.
An error and two singles have filled the sacks, and Billy O'Dell, a left-hander, will be coming on to pitch to Roger Maris.
This will be O'Dell's third appearance in the World Series. He started the first ball game. He has a record of no wins and one defeat.
He's with a loss in the first game. He's pitched 10 and one-third innings, giving up 12 hits.
Six runs have all been earned. He's walked three and struck out eight.
Billy pitched in relief in the fourth game of the series and saved that ball game.
Don Larson was the winning pitcher.
So Billy completes his warm-up tosses. Roger Maris steps in.
The bases are loaded with no one out. The Yankees leading one to nothing.
The hit by Mantle was number seven off Sanford. The Yankees have out-hit the Giants, seven to two.
Al Gart doesn't want to give up another run. He is playing his infield in close with the bases loaded and no one out.
Maris is 0-3 in this game. Here's the first pitch. Strike. He got a fast ball of it.
One strike to the rods. They line to third, bounce to third, and bounce to the first baseman.
Richardson, Trash, and Mantle are the Yankee baserunners.
Odell, ready? Here's the pitch. A ground ball hit to the second baseman.
Hiller is coming to the plate with it. He's out. Back to first. He's safe on a close play.
Almost a double play. Maris hit the ball at Chuck Hiller, who fired it into Howard.
He stepped on the plate and fired it right back to Sepeda at first. Maris beat the relay.
So Raj is safe on the fielder's choice. The bases are still loaded. One out.
And Elston Howard will be the batter. Al Gart has raced out of the dugout.
He has a right-hander throwing in the bullpen, but there'll be no pitching change.
He's going along with Billy Odell, a left-hander, against the right-hander hitting Elston Howard.
Ellie's 0-3 in this game. Bounce to third, popped to short, and struck out.
Odell gets ready. Here's the pitch to Howard. Strike. Pass ball over the outside corner.
The Giants trying to get out of a jam here in the eighth inning.
The Yankees have the bases loaded with one out.
Odell into the windup. Here's the pitch. High foul ball.
This will be out of play coming back into the lower deck.
Strike two. Billy coming on with the bases loaded and no one out.
Got Roger Maris to bounce to the second baseman.
Force out at the plate. Now it's a strike two count to Elston Howard.
Odell checking the sign. Here's the two-strike pitch.
Here's a ground ball. A third might be a double play. Steps on the bag to throw. He's down.
Elston Howard into a fast double play.
Davenport steps on the bag and through to first base.
No runs on two hits. One error, two men left.
And the Snorky into the first half of the eighth inning. The Yankees won. The Giants nothing.
Back with more of baseball's greatest hits on 77 WABC in just a moment.

Game seven of 1962 featuring superstars Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Mickey Mantle, and Roger Maris.
Billy O'Dell coming on in relief with the bases loaded and no one out. Turned in a sparkling job. Got out of it without a run.
So it's still a one to nothing ball game. The Yankees leading as we go into the bottom of the eighth inning.
Tom Heller will be the leadoff man. He'll be followed by Jimmy Davenport, then Jose Pagan.
Ralph Terry taking a little extra time as he goes through his warm up tosses. Action in the Yankee bullpen.
Bud Daley a left hander and Bill Stafford a right handed. They have been throwing off and on throughout the ball game.
One to nothing. The Yankees lead. We're in the bottom of the eighth inning of the seventh game of the 1962 World Series.
Tom Heller has popped a shark and bounced to the pitcher in two trips.
Here's Terry's first pitch. Here's a fly ball in the left center field. Trash is racing in. He's there and he makes the catch.
Tom Heller goes out on the first pitch to Trash in left center.
That's one away and the batter will be Jimmy Davenport.
Jimmy just made a fine play on a hard hit ground ball off the bat of Elston Howard.
Stepped on third base, flipped at the first, turning it into a fast double play.
Jimmy has popped a second and flied to left in two trips today.
Terry taking a little time.
Tricks the sign, here's the pitch. Ball, it's down low. One ball and it has strength.
The Yankees picked up a run in the fifth inning. That's been the only scoring in the game.
Here's the one and O pitch. High pop fly on the infield. Here's Boyer coming into foul ground calling for it.
He's there and makes the catch. Jimmy Davenport fouls to the third baseman.
Well, there's two down. And Jose Pagan is scheduled to be the batter, but we're going to get a pinch batter.
I believe it's Ed Bailey. We'll check it to be sure.
Ed Bailey, left-handed hitting catcher, is coming on.
Here's the announcement coming over the public address system.
So Al Dark trailing by a one run here in the eighth inning, sending up a left-handed batter for his shortstop Pagan.
Giants batting with two outs and no one on.
Ed taking a little time before he gets in.
Terry just waiting for Bailey to get set.
Gets the sign. Here's the first pitch. Curve ball, he got it over. One strike. Ralph pulled the string on him.
The Yankees are deep and around to the right for Bailey.
Ed is strictly a pull hitter.
He's out of the box for just a moment, gets back in.
Bobby Richardson right on the edge of the outfield grass.
Here's the one strike pitch. He checked his swing on a low curve, says Stan Lambas. One ball, one strike.
The Yankees have one run on seven hits and no errors. The Giants have no runs on two hits. They've committed one error.
Terry still looking in. Pounds the ball in his glove.
Here's the one-one pitch. A foul ball. It's back on the screen.
Terry coming in with a fastball around the letters. One ball, two strikes.
Terry retired the first 17 batters he faced here today before Sanford singled with two outs in the sixth inning.
And he gave up a triple to McCovey with two outs in the seventh inning. It's been the only two Giants hits.
One ball and two strikes to Bailey. Here's the pitch. Down low.
That'll even the count at two and two. Terry trying to get Bailey to go for a bad pitch.
Ed Bailey batting for Jose Pagan here in the bottom of the eighth with two outs and no one on.
Ed getting out just as Terry got ready. Now we're ready again.
Here's the two-two pitch. Foul ball. This one back in the crowd. Still two and two.
In the fifth inning, the Yankees used two singles and a walk to load the bases.
Then Kubek bounced to the shortstop Pagan who made the double play.
Skowron coming in to score the only run of this ballgame.
Yankees had the bases loaded in the eighth inning with no one out, but they failed to score.
Here's the two-two pitch. There's a fly ball hit outside of first base.
Skowron is coming over. He's got the room on it still. Chasing it, he makes the catch.
Ed Bailey fouls to the first baseman. No runs, no hits, no errors, no one left.
And the score at the end of eight, the Yankees won, the Giants nothing.
We'll be back with more exciting action from the seventh game of the 1962 World Series after this.

Gats sucks, tastes like a hundred thousand bucks. Nestle $100,000 bar.
77 WABC with baseball's greatest hits, special rebroadcasts of actual World Series games of the past.
And now, more action from game seven of the 1962 World Series.
Well, it's the ninth inning here at Candlestick Park, and the Yankees are leading by a score of one to nothing.
Boy, you couldn't ask for a finer ball game in the final game of a World Series.
Bill Scouran will lead off for the Yankees.
He'll be followed by Boyer and then Terry.
Here's a fastball up high. One ball, enough strikes.
Billy O'Dell pitching in relief of Jack Sanford, who turned in another great performance here today in his third World Series start.
The pitch in the dirt, scooped up by Heller.
A ball, two, and a no-strike count.
O'Dell came on in the eighth inning with the bases loaded and no one out.
He got embarrassed on a ground ball to the second baseman.
The play was made at the plate, and then Howard hit into a fast double play.
Here's the two and O pitch to Scouran. He swings and fouls it off.
That's one sailing back into the upper deck behind the giant dugout.
That's a ball, two, and a strike one count.
Billy O'Dell didn't like the baseball. He wants a new one.
Tosses it in, Stan Landis sends a new one out to the mound.
Moose is waiting. Here's the two-one pitch.
Down low at the fastball, low and in. Three and one to Scouran.
O'Dell taking a little time as he looks into Heller.
Here's the three-one pitch. He swings and hits a long fly ball down the left field line.
It's curving foul and going back into the crowd.
So it's three and two to Scouran. Lead-off man for the Yankees in the ninth inning.
They lead the Giants one to nothing here in the seventh game.
Boy, this is it, right down to the wire.
The new shortstop for the Giants here in the ninth inning is Ernie Bowman.
Pagan went out for the pinch batter, Ed Bailey, and Ernie Bowman has gone in to play shortstop.
O'Dell taking a lot of time here on the three-two pitch.
Ready? Here it is. A ground ball hit to the shortstop.
Bowman has it. Here's the throw to first. He's out.
Phil Scouran goes out short to first.
That's one away and the batter will be Cletus Boyer.
Cletus two for three in this game. He lined a right field in the third inning.
Singled in the fifth and again in the seventh.
His single in the fifth inning was a key blow that sent Scouran all the way to third where he scored on the double play ball.
Top of the ninth is one out with no one on.
The Yankees won. The Giants nothing.
The pitch to Boyer's hit hard to third. Davenport knocks it down.
Here's the throw to first. He's out.
Another good play by Jimmy Davenport as Boyer sent a screamer down the third baseline.
Jimmy blocked it. Ball rolled out in front of him. He picked it up, made the throw to Cepeda.
That's two down and here's Ralph Terry.
Well, this highly partisan crowd here in Candlestick Park giving a roaring salute to Ralph Terry as he comes on to bat.
Here on the top of the ninth. Ralph has been a tremendous pitcher for the Yankees.
He's had one hit in the ball game. O'Dell delivers. He fouls it back. One strike.
Ralph is struck out, blocked and singled. He's one for two.
Right handed batter. Facing the left hander Billy O'Dell.
The pitch. He swings and misses on a curve. Strike two.
Two outs with no one on. We're in the top of the ninth inning. The Yankees lead by one.
Here's the two strike pitch. A swing and a miss. He's struck him out. Terry strikes out.
No runs, no hits, no errors, no one left. And the score at the end of the first half of the ninth inning.
The Yankees won. The Giants nothing.
We'll be back with more exciting action from the seventh game of the 1962 World Series after this.
Oh
Anheuser-Busch St. Louis. And now more action from game seven of the 1962 World Series.
Well it's the bottom of the ninth inning and this is it. The Giants are trailing the Yankees by a score of one to nothing.
Mattie Allou has moved out of the dugout. He'll be batting for Billy O'Dell.
Mattie Allou, a left handed batter, will be batting for Billy O'Dell leading off to the Giants here in the bottom of the ninth inning.
He'll be followed by his brother, Philippe Allou, and then the second baseman, Chuck Hiller.
Oh
Ralph Terry completes his warm up tosses. Howard goes down the second.
And everybody moves forward on the edge of their seats for this bottom of the ninth inning with the Yankees leading one to nothing.
Mattie Allou, a little left handed batter leading off. There's action in both bullpens. Billy Pierce throwing in the bullpen for the Giants.
Bill Stafford and Bud Daley for the Yankees.
Terry taking a little time. He wants to be sure his defensive alignment is where he wants him to play Allou.
Here's the pitch to Mattie. Ball, it's outside. One ball and no strikes.
A one to nothing ball game right down to the wire here in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Here's the one and O pitch. A high pop fly outside of first base. This may blow into the seats. Howard is chasing it near the dugout.
He can't make a play. He went right into the giant dugout.
Else than Howard, Boy was staying with it. He went right into the giant dugout all the way.
But he couldn't quite make the play so it's one ball and one strike to Allou.
That ball at one time was near the foul line but the strong breeze blowing kept carrying it away from Howard and just out of his reach.
Boyer at third base is playing it on the grass. Everybody else back on the infield.
Here's the one one pitch. Curve ball, it's too low. A ball two and a strike one count.
Mattie Allou in a pinch hitting role in game number four at a key double down the left field line.
Boyer of course has to play him in close. He's one of the fastest baserunners in this series.
Here's the pitch. He backs down the first baseline. Terry chasing it. He can't get it.
He can't get it.
Mattie Allou dragging a butt just past Ralph Terry and he beats it out for an infield single.
That's hit number three for the Giants. What's a tying run at first base with no one out and the batter will be Philippe Allou.
The Yankees are looking for the bunt. Boyer moving in close at third base.
Here's the pitch. He bumps it up in the air. Howard chasing it. He can't get it.
One strike to Philippe. Giants of course trying to move this tying run down to second base.
They have Giller and Willie Mays coming up.
It's a one to nothing ball game here in the ninth. The Yankees leading.
Allou at first base. No one out. That's Mattie Allou at first base. Philippe Allou the batter with a one strike count.
There's a token toss over to first base. Terry just reminding Allou that he's keeping an eye on him.
Ralph gets set. Here's the pitch. He swings and fouls it back. Allou had a riffle at a high fastball.
He was trying to drill that one by Boyer at third base. Fouled it back on the screen.
So Terry is out in front with a strike two count.
And Elston Howard calls time. Race is out to the mound for a conversation with Terry.
Bill Stafford a right hander and Bud Daley a left hander throwing in the bullpen.
Howard coming back behind the plate. Terry gets set. Here's the pitch. A swing and a miss. He struck him out.
Philippe Allou goes down swinging. That's one away and the batter will be Chuck Hiller.
Hiller is 0 for 3. He's bounced to first flying to center.
And he popped to the pitcher trying to beat out a bun in the seventh inning.
Well the Giants have one of their fastest baserunners if not their fastest at first base.
He's carrying the tying run. One out here in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Boy you can almost feel the tension all the way here to the radio booth.
A pitch to Hiller. He swings and pops it up. It's going to be out of play. This one is drifting back into the crowd.
One strike to Chuck.
Ralph Terry all the way for the Yankees. Jack Sanford the starting pitcher for the Giants today.
Billy O'Dell relieved him in the eighth inning.
It's a one strike count to Chuck Hiller. Mattie Allou at first base. One out. Bottom of the ninth inning.
Mattie taking a big lead at first. Terry chucks him. Here's the pitch. He bunts down the third baseline. It's foul.
Boy there was a dandy.
Hiller pushed a bunt down the third baseline. It just rolled outside the line. Boy you had no chance to get him.
