.com for more sports history. On April 12, 1971,

00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:11.640
the Chicago Cubs faced the Los Angeles Dodgers

00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:14.480
in a Monday night game at Dodger Stadium. The

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:16.699
Cubs, managed by the charismatic Leo de Rocher

00:00:16.699 --> 00:00:18.940
in his sixth year as skipper, had struggled to

00:00:18.940 --> 00:00:21.260
be better than a 500 team over the past five

00:00:21.260 --> 00:00:24.320
years and entered this game with a 2 -5 record.

00:00:25.260 --> 00:00:28.120
The Dodgers, led by Walt Alston in his 17th season,

00:00:28.350 --> 00:00:30.809
had experienced significant success early in

00:00:30.809 --> 00:00:32.789
his tenure with six National League pennants

00:00:32.789 --> 00:00:35.570
in his first 12 seasons, but had been stuck in

00:00:35.570 --> 00:00:38.689
mediocrity as a 500 club over the last five years.

00:00:39.729 --> 00:00:43.229
The Cubs sent Ken Holtzman to the mound. Holtzman,

00:00:43.429 --> 00:00:46.630
who finished the 1970 season with 17 wins, was

00:00:46.630 --> 00:00:48.649
looking to rebound from a poor first start in

00:00:48.649 --> 00:00:51.490
the 1971 season, where he gave up six runs in

00:00:51.490 --> 00:00:53.890
four innings against the Astros. The Dodgers

00:00:53.890 --> 00:00:56.090
countered with Sandy Vance, making his first

00:00:56.090 --> 00:00:58.079
start of the season coming off a strong rookie

00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:02.460
year in 1970 with a 7 -7 record. This audio recording

00:01:02.460 --> 00:01:04.920
is from the Los Angeles radio broadcast featuring

00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:27.700
announcers Vin Scully and Jerry Doggett. Run

00:01:27.700 --> 00:01:31.900
Becker to second base. Billy Williams in left

00:01:31.900 --> 00:01:38.000
field. Ron Sato at third. Joe Pepitone at first.

00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:43.659
Johnny Callison in right. Jose Ortiz in center.

00:01:45.180 --> 00:01:48.900
J .C. Martin is the catcher. And Kenny Holtzman

00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:52.560
the pitcher. For the Dodgers, Maury Wills at

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:57.950
short. Manny Mota in right. West Parker at first.

00:01:58.530 --> 00:02:01.689
Richie Allen in left. Bill Sudeikis catching.

00:02:02.989 --> 00:02:05.109
Virginia LeFevre makes the start tonight at second

00:02:05.109 --> 00:02:10.229
base. Steve Garvey at third. Bill Russell in

00:02:10.229 --> 00:02:14.770
center. And Sandy Vance to do the pitching. The

00:02:14.770 --> 00:02:17.550
umpires will be Harvey at the plate. Dale Gorman

00:02:17.550 --> 00:02:20.810
and Pellacudas on the bases. Both the Cubs and

00:02:20.810 --> 00:02:22.810
the Dodgers have identical records in the young

00:02:22.810 --> 00:02:25.830
season. Two and four. The Dodgers on the home

00:02:25.830 --> 00:02:27.789
stand have seven games left before they go on

00:02:27.789 --> 00:02:30.349
an extensive road trip. So they hope to get things

00:02:30.349 --> 00:02:32.849
going here at home with the Cubs, the Cardinals,

00:02:32.949 --> 00:02:34.770
and then the Astros over the weekend, Friday,

00:02:34.849 --> 00:02:37.650
Saturday, and Sunday. Tomorrow night, Milk Pappas

00:02:37.650 --> 00:02:41.030
will go against Bill Singer. And then the Dodgers

00:02:41.030 --> 00:02:43.409
get set up for the St. Louis series beginning

00:02:43.409 --> 00:02:45.789
on Wednesday. Now we're ready. Time to play ball.

00:02:45.889 --> 00:02:47.930
The Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs from Dodger

00:02:47.930 --> 00:02:50.580
Stadium. And now for the play -by -play, here's

00:02:50.580 --> 00:02:52.879
Vince Kelly. Ready? Thank you, Jerry. Hi, everybody,

00:02:52.900 --> 00:02:54.560
and a very pleasant good evening to you, wherever

00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.020
you may be. The Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs,

00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:59.400
trying to find out what it's all about. They

00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.259
both feel they had good ball clubs, and they

00:03:01.259 --> 00:03:04.539
both start off on a rocky beginning for 1971.

00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.400
The Dodgers have had some frustrating games,

00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.699
but the Cubs have had a couple of dillies. One

00:03:10.699 --> 00:03:13.199
in Houston they still have not recovered from,

00:03:13.819 --> 00:03:15.139
where they lost the game in the ninth inning

00:03:15.139 --> 00:03:18.219
on a balk and an error. Here's Don Kessinger,

00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.400
the switch hitting shortstop, and he takes low

00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.139
ball one, 1 -0. Sandy Vance and Bill Sudeikis,

00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:27.340
with Wes Parker and Jimmy LaFever, Maury Wills

00:03:27.340 --> 00:03:31.479
and Steve Garvey, Richie Allen, Bill Russell,

00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:34.520
and Manny Moda. Big chopper to LaFever who has

00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:36.539
to back up, gloves it at the chest, and throws

00:03:36.539 --> 00:03:41.319
him out. One away, and the batter, Glenn Becker.

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:52.900
Glenn Becker hitting 269. Boy, if he ever was

00:03:52.900 --> 00:03:55.419
a company man or a team man, he would be the

00:03:55.419 --> 00:03:58.000
guy. What a valuable ball player he is. Right

00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:02.360
-hand hitter, Glenn Becker. Sandy Vance reading

00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.000
Bill Sudeikis. Sandy into the windup and the

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:06.780
right -handed delivers low in the dirt, ball

00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:11.080
one, one and all. You might get some idea of

00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.740
Sandy Vance and how well he is doing tonight.

00:04:14.030 --> 00:04:17.410
by the use of one descriptive word on his pitches,

00:04:17.750 --> 00:04:21.410
high or low. If he stays low all night, he'll

00:04:21.410 --> 00:04:24.310
give the Cubs fits. There's a high fastball in

00:04:24.310 --> 00:04:27.610
the count ball, too, 2 and 0. If Vance keeps

00:04:27.610 --> 00:04:29.670
the ball down or on the knees on the hitters,

00:04:29.910 --> 00:04:32.569
he can be a very tough young pitcher. But if

00:04:32.569 --> 00:04:34.269
the ball starts to come up on him, then he's

00:04:34.269 --> 00:04:37.350
in trouble. 2 and 0 to count to Glenn Beckard.

00:04:37.490 --> 00:04:41.470
Billy Williams on deck. Sandy into the wind -up.

00:04:41.610 --> 00:04:44.230
Now the 2 -0 pitch on the way. Pass ball for

00:04:44.230 --> 00:04:51.730
a strike. 2 -1. Mance, of course, trying to hook

00:04:51.730 --> 00:04:54.949
on as the number four starter in the Dodger rotation.

00:04:55.350 --> 00:04:58.149
Trying to join Sutton Osteen and Singer. The

00:04:58.149 --> 00:05:01.170
2 -1 pitch to Becker. Very high. Ball three.

00:05:01.290 --> 00:05:16.120
3 -1. Now the 3 -1 pitch on the way. Fastball

00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:27.040
over, strike two. Full count to Glenn Becker.

00:05:27.459 --> 00:05:34.379
Billy Williams on deck. Becker ready and hits

00:05:34.379 --> 00:05:36.779
a ground ball slowly to Wills. Maury gloves it

00:05:36.779 --> 00:05:39.040
almost at the shoulders and throws him out two

00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:51.519
down. Billy Williams coming up. Williams started

00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.560
his year off in fine style. If you remember opening

00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.839
day in Chicago, he had a 10th inning home run

00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:03.480
to beat Bob Gibson 2 -1. Williams hitting 3 -33,

00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:06.579
and he has three home runs in the six games he

00:06:06.579 --> 00:06:10.439
has played. Left -hand hitter, Vance Reddy in

00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:20.449
delivers, high and inside, ball one, 1 -0. Wanna

00:06:20.449 --> 00:06:24.610
know the count of Billy? Bansu works quickly,

00:06:24.850 --> 00:06:27.110
comes right back to the plate, fastball and a

00:06:27.110 --> 00:06:30.569
high fly ball into shallow right. Lefebvre out

00:06:30.569 --> 00:06:33.350
and calling. Moda coming in, but it's Lefebvre.

00:06:35.550 --> 00:06:38.230
So it's a rare first inning for a Dodger pitcher

00:06:38.230 --> 00:06:41.250
outside of Osteen. He gets out of it one, two,

00:06:41.250 --> 00:06:43.149
three, and at the end of half an inning, the

00:06:43.149 --> 00:06:45.730
Cubs nothing and the Dodgers coming up. This

00:06:45.730 --> 00:06:47.870
is Sergeant Larry Gallup with a Crimestop message

00:06:47.870 --> 00:06:51.180
for you. The deaths of two Phoenix police officers

00:06:51.180 --> 00:06:53.680
are grim reminders of what can happen even in

00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.540
a fine city like Phoenix. This tragedy was followed

00:06:56.540 --> 00:06:59.800
with cries of outraged indignation, shock, and

00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.540
sorrow. How could this have been prevented? What

00:07:02.540 --> 00:07:06.019
can I do to help? Who's responsible? These were

00:07:06.019 --> 00:07:08.000
just a few of the questions that we all asked

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.779
ourselves. The reality of crime on our streets

00:07:10.779 --> 00:07:13.819
is no longer one of statistics, local and national

00:07:13.819 --> 00:07:16.620
crime rate, or other impersonal crime -related

00:07:16.620 --> 00:07:19.490
information. We must keep the criminals out of

00:07:19.490 --> 00:07:22.209
our city and let them know that we will not tolerate

00:07:22.209 --> 00:07:25.569
crimes against our persons or property. Crime

00:07:25.569 --> 00:07:30.870
Stop at 2626 -151 is the safest, simplest method

00:07:30.870 --> 00:07:33.189
in which you can help wage the war on crime.

00:07:33.750 --> 00:07:36.709
If you see or hear suspicious activities or crimes

00:07:36.709 --> 00:07:42.649
in progress, call Crime Stop at 2626 -151. Remember,

00:07:43.149 --> 00:07:47.800
all you've got to lose is crime. Bottom of the

00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:50.420
first inning, the Cubs fail to score. The Dodgers

00:07:50.420 --> 00:07:54.240
will have Maury Wills, Manny Motta, and Wes Parker.

00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:14.100
Maury Wills, inning right -handed against Kenny

00:08:14.100 --> 00:08:18.259
Holtzman. Lost his first start of the year going

00:08:18.259 --> 00:08:21.279
four and two third innings against Houston Left

00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:23.680
-hander beat the Dodgers twice last year and

00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.139
he has a three -to -one record against them lifetime

00:08:26.139 --> 00:08:29.360
fastball high and outside ball one Postman's

00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.080
lifetime record against the Dodgers 12 victories

00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:36.700
and only four defeat. So he's rough He graduated

00:08:36.700 --> 00:08:40.220
from the University of Illinois Kenny is only

00:08:40.220 --> 00:08:43.159
25. He won't be 26 until November another pitch

00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:47.389
outside ball two setting the Cubs defensively

00:08:47.389 --> 00:08:50.830
Kenny Holtzman and JC Martin the infield at Joe

00:08:50.830 --> 00:08:53.570
Pepitone and Glenn Becker Don Kessinger and Ron

00:08:53.570 --> 00:08:56.590
Santo with Billy Williams Jose Ortiz and Johnny

00:08:56.590 --> 00:08:59.549
Callison in the outfield the pitch a strike and

00:08:59.549 --> 00:09:04.110
the count two and one We were asking Leo DeRosier

00:09:04.110 --> 00:09:07.009
about his great young catcher Randy Hundley who

00:09:07.009 --> 00:09:09.230
hurt his knee in spring training hurt the other

00:09:09.230 --> 00:09:12.620
knee because he had one injury a year ago Two

00:09:12.620 --> 00:09:14.919
and ease. The two -one pitch a strike. Two and

00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:19.460
two. Anyway, Leo said that Randy Hundley will

00:09:19.460 --> 00:09:23.519
catch Wednesday in San Diego. So we said, well,

00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:25.659
if it's that close, why doesn't he catch tomorrow?

00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:29.360
And as only Leo could say, Leo put it, I'd rather

00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.980
be 10 minutes late than 10 minutes early. In

00:09:31.980 --> 00:09:34.159
other words, there was no reason to rush Hundley,

00:09:34.220 --> 00:09:37.799
so give me extra day. Passball is swung on and

00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:39.879
missed, apparently. Dropped by catcher Martin,

00:09:40.019 --> 00:09:43.019
who tags out Will. And more he turns and rather

00:09:43.019 --> 00:09:46.159
unhappy about it walks away. He never broke towards

00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:56.240
first. One out. Here's Manny Moda. Kenny Holtzman,

00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.500
in his rookie year, led the Chicago Cubs in wins

00:10:00.500 --> 00:10:05.340
and strikeouts. That would be 1966. His last

00:10:05.340 --> 00:10:08.320
two years he won 17. The Cubs feel that he is

00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:14.710
now ready to win 20. He's 6 '275 pounder. His

00:10:14.710 --> 00:10:23.389
fastball is high, ball one. Last year he worked

00:10:23.389 --> 00:10:27.009
in 288 innings, which is a sign of a real star

00:10:27.009 --> 00:10:30.049
in the league to work that many. Curveball, but

00:10:30.049 --> 00:10:31.809
it's high. It's the first curve he's thrown,

00:10:31.970 --> 00:10:39.870
2 -0. He one hit the Giants last year, beat them.

00:10:40.029 --> 00:10:44.549
and a tidy little affair 15 to nothing and he's

00:10:44.549 --> 00:10:47.110
had a two hitter and a three hitter last year

00:10:47.110 --> 00:10:49.809
the next one to motor strike in the count two

00:10:49.809 --> 00:11:01.929
and one I did one time last year folks in the

00:11:01.929 --> 00:11:04.549
league was starting to consider Holtzman a serious

00:11:04.549 --> 00:11:06.769
threat to Don Drysdale's string of scoreless

00:11:06.769 --> 00:11:09.350
innings pitches swung on and missed right to

00:11:10.089 --> 00:11:13.250
Holtzman had 33 consecutive scoreless innings

00:11:13.250 --> 00:11:19.429
before the streak was snapped. Ken Holtzman.

00:11:20.610 --> 00:11:22.789
He's been in the leagues since 66 and he is just

00:11:22.789 --> 00:11:26.850
now really becoming a star. Left -hander checking

00:11:26.850 --> 00:11:30.009
J .C. Martin. Now Ken Ruddy in the 2 -2 pitch.

00:11:30.210 --> 00:11:32.970
Fastball fouled away. Kicks off the backstop

00:11:32.970 --> 00:11:41.210
screen into the crowd. Among his other credits

00:11:41.210 --> 00:11:46.529
for 1970, Holtzman tied a National League record

00:11:46.529 --> 00:11:49.129
that held and held solely by Johnny Padres of

00:11:49.129 --> 00:11:52.950
the Dodgers. He struck out the first five batters

00:11:52.950 --> 00:11:57.129
against the New York Mets that he faced. Here

00:11:57.129 --> 00:11:59.990
comes a 2 -2 pitch. Fastball poked on the ground

00:11:59.990 --> 00:12:02.450
to Pepitone. Joe to the bag easily for the second

00:12:02.450 --> 00:12:26.940
out. Here is Wes Parker. Wes Parker hitting right

00:12:26.940 --> 00:12:31.299
-handed against Ken Holtzman. No score, two down

00:12:31.299 --> 00:12:33.820
in the first inning. Sandy Vance and left -hander

00:12:33.820 --> 00:12:37.120
Holtzman. Breaking ball over for a strike on

00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:40.610
one. Tomorrow night should be a dandy, Milk Tappas,

00:12:41.029 --> 00:12:43.230
who is off his shutout from Houston, will start

00:12:43.230 --> 00:12:48.250
for Chicago. And for the Dodgers, Bill Singer.

00:12:50.049 --> 00:12:52.529
Here's the strike one pitch to Parker, outside

00:12:52.529 --> 00:13:02.350
and high, one ball, one strike. Holtzman has

00:13:02.350 --> 00:13:07.309
had a no -hitter. He no -hitted Atlanta. in August

00:13:07.309 --> 00:13:11.450
at Wrigley Field of 1969. He has all the signs

00:13:11.450 --> 00:13:13.649
and shown all the credentials of being a superstar.

00:13:13.950 --> 00:13:16.529
Line drive at Glenn Beckert, and Mort Parker

00:13:16.529 --> 00:13:18.710
has really hit in some tough luck in the first

00:13:18.710 --> 00:13:21.429
week of the season. He is at more line drives

00:13:21.429 --> 00:13:23.649
with people than any other Dodger. They're out

00:13:23.649 --> 00:13:25.549
of order and at the end of an inning, no score.

00:13:34.990 --> 00:13:37.529
People have no pride in their work. No spirit.

00:13:37.909 --> 00:13:40.289
Nobody really knows his job anymore. Now take

00:13:40.289 --> 00:13:42.710
this guy. Now George, I wanna ask you something.

00:13:42.889 --> 00:13:44.950
Yes, sir? Would you happen to have any idea why

00:13:44.950 --> 00:13:47.830
they call this gasoline Super 76? Well, sir,

00:13:47.850 --> 00:13:49.929
wouldn't you say a gasoline with five engine

00:13:49.929 --> 00:13:51.850
cleaners to keep your engine, carburetor, and

00:13:51.850 --> 00:13:53.970
anti -pollution valve clean is pretty super?

00:13:54.409 --> 00:14:00.570
Don't say a word, Marge. Not a word. Union Oil

00:14:00.570 --> 00:14:03.149
thinks a clean engine is pretty important. That's

00:14:03.149 --> 00:14:05.350
why you'll find five engine cleaners in Super

00:14:05.350 --> 00:14:08.769
76, Union Oil's premium gasoline. Because a cleaner

00:14:08.769 --> 00:14:11.110
engine runs better, and it helps reduce pollution.

00:14:12.230 --> 00:14:14.250
Well, there's a man who certainly has a spirit.

00:14:14.409 --> 00:14:16.629
No, he's just the exception that proves the rule.

00:14:16.970 --> 00:14:19.110
George, I could almost think you had trouble

00:14:19.110 --> 00:14:21.509
admitting when you're wrong. The spirit of 76

00:14:21.509 --> 00:14:26.669
lives at Union Oil. Second inning, no score in

00:14:26.669 --> 00:14:29.399
the ballgame. The Cubs and the Dodgers. Ron Santo,

00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:32.399
the captain of the Cubs, followed by Joe Pepitone,

00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:37.340
and then Johnny Callison. Santo gives every appearance

00:14:37.340 --> 00:14:41.340
of an outward -going, easy -going guy. He's very

00:14:41.340 --> 00:14:43.759
bright, enthusiastic, well -liked by the players

00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:47.980
in the league. But Santo has been bothered by

00:14:47.980 --> 00:14:51.179
stomach pains for quite some time, and he was

00:14:51.179 --> 00:14:53.720
examined today by the Dodgers team physician,

00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:58.740
Dr. Robert Woods. Santo... felt that he had an

00:14:58.740 --> 00:15:01.820
ulcer. Fortunately, the examination said no.

00:15:02.019 --> 00:15:04.080
The pitch is low, close enough for Harvey to

00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:06.279
start to bring up his right arm. One in all to

00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:09.980
count. However, Ron Santo was warned by Dr. Wood

00:15:09.980 --> 00:15:13.440
that they did detect an inflammation in the area

00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.320
where an ulcer could develop. Here's the 1 -0

00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:18.919
pitch. Santo takes low, ball two. Immediately,

00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.419
you say to yourself, how is he doing? Well, Santo

00:15:22.419 --> 00:15:26.220
has been to bat 18 times. He has four hits. That's

00:15:26.220 --> 00:15:35.360
a 222 average. The 2 -0 pitch to Ron Santo. Low

00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.940
again, ball three. However, that's all right

00:15:37.940 --> 00:15:40.259
as far as the Dodger pitching plans are concerned.

00:15:40.860 --> 00:15:43.419
They don't mind Vance walking somebody as long

00:15:43.419 --> 00:15:46.799
as he is low. As we mentioned earlier, the key

00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:49.580
to Sandy's performance usually is the use of

00:15:49.580 --> 00:15:54.299
the word high or low. Here's a 3 -0 fish on the

00:15:54.299 --> 00:16:01.679
way. That's high. Ball four, Stano's a boy. That'll

00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:14.360
bring up Joe Pepitone. Joe Pepitone hit 345 against

00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:17.759
the Dodgers last year. In fact, six cubs hit

00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:21.200
300 or more against the Dodgers. Pepitone is

00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:25.080
without a doubt one of the truly big characters

00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:27.940
in organized baseball today and one of the better

00:16:27.940 --> 00:16:30.879
life pitches high and away ball one one and oh

00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:36.679
last year he was chauffeured to and from Wrigley

00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:39.539
Field by a limousine with a television set in

00:16:39.539 --> 00:16:42.240
the back and he would usually drive alongside

00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:44.860
the visiting team bus on the way to the ballpark

00:16:44.860 --> 00:16:47.039
and kind of grandly wave his hand how do you

00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:55.570
do nice to have you in town Joe left -hand batter

00:16:55.570 --> 00:16:58.309
fans delivers and Pepitone takes low ball to

00:16:58.309 --> 00:17:03.490
2 -0 Two things have happened to Pepitone In

00:17:03.490 --> 00:17:06.750
fact one of a very serious nature, but in the

00:17:06.750 --> 00:17:10.069
result of the serious nature He no doubt is hearing

00:17:10.069 --> 00:17:14.329
it from the bench jockeys in the league Here's

00:17:14.329 --> 00:17:17.460
a 2 -0 pitch coming up to Pep And he hits a high

00:17:17.460 --> 00:17:20.519
pop line to shallow center. Wilson LeFevre out.

00:17:20.579 --> 00:17:23.819
Russell coming. It's LeFevre as he falls on his

00:17:23.819 --> 00:17:32.059
right side. Nice play by Frenchy. One away. In

00:17:32.059 --> 00:17:35.019
an article about Pepitone's expenses for the

00:17:35.019 --> 00:17:42.039
year. It was mentioned because Joe is in the

00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:44.720
hair business. He makes hair pieces. He wears

00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:47.450
hair pieces. It was mentioned in the article

00:17:47.450 --> 00:17:51.049
that Expense for hair treatment a hundred and

00:17:51.049 --> 00:17:54.490
fifty dollars a month And you can just imagine

00:17:54.490 --> 00:17:56.289
the bench jockeys in the league letting them

00:17:56.289 --> 00:17:59.049
hear about that Here's Johnny Callison who is

00:17:59.049 --> 00:18:03.349
391 against the Dodgers last year pass ball for

00:18:03.349 --> 00:18:07.130
a strike However, anything is a come -down from

00:18:07.130 --> 00:18:10.690
Nate Colbert here at Dodger Stadium Big Nate

00:18:10.690 --> 00:18:15.039
just punch holes in the ballpark Callison up

00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.039
there with one out. Santo at first held on by

00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:21.480
Wes Parker. Vance at the belt, a backward glance

00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:24.259
at Santo, and Callison a half swing and a popper

00:18:24.259 --> 00:18:31.619
up along first base foul. 0 and 2. It has been

00:18:31.619 --> 00:18:34.640
a quiet year so far for the Lions. He's standing

00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:37.200
in the dugout right now, hands behind his back,

00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.259
pacing up and down, but he has matured like rare

00:18:40.259 --> 00:18:43.559
wine, has Leo. We asked him if he had been kicked

00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:45.700
out of a game so far this year, the answer was

00:18:45.700 --> 00:18:48.500
no. We asked him if he had been warned about

00:18:48.500 --> 00:18:50.460
the fact he would be kicked out of a game this

00:18:50.460 --> 00:18:53.920
year, and the answer is no. But he was almost

00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:56.380
kicked out of an exhibition game. The strike

00:18:56.380 --> 00:18:58.640
two pitch is a ground ball hit slowly to Wills.

00:18:58.700 --> 00:19:01.180
He goes back till a fever, that's all. The throw

00:19:01.180 --> 00:19:04.140
to first not nearly in time. So the fourth place

00:19:04.140 --> 00:19:10.109
takes four. Two down. During an exhibition game

00:19:10.109 --> 00:19:14.549
in Tempe, Arizona this spring, Leo disagreed

00:19:14.549 --> 00:19:18.329
rather violently with an American League umpire.

00:19:18.650 --> 00:19:20.549
And the word is that the American League umpire

00:19:20.549 --> 00:19:22.390
kicked him out of the game. And Leo said, wait

00:19:22.390 --> 00:19:24.410
a minute. You mean to tell me you're going to

00:19:24.410 --> 00:19:26.630
kick me out of an exhibition game and deprive

00:19:26.630 --> 00:19:29.269
me of a chance of looking at my young ballplayer

00:19:29.269 --> 00:19:32.670
and you, an American League umpire? No way. He

00:19:32.670 --> 00:19:34.269
said, what I'll do is I'll go over in the far

00:19:34.269 --> 00:19:36.509
corner of the dugout and sit quietly. And that's

00:19:36.509 --> 00:19:38.630
just what he did. So he was kicked out but he

00:19:38.630 --> 00:19:42.230
didn't go and it didn't count. So the lion is

00:19:42.230 --> 00:19:44.609
still untouched, unmarred, and unblemished by

00:19:44.609 --> 00:19:50.309
1971. A very good spirit. Here is Jose Ortiz.

00:19:50.410 --> 00:19:53.609
He sat in the shadow in Chicago last year of

00:19:53.609 --> 00:19:55.910
their center fielder Ken Berry, who is now of

00:19:55.910 --> 00:19:58.690
course with the Angels. Ortiz takes low, ball

00:19:58.690 --> 00:20:06.130
one, one and all. Ortiz. is 8 -4 -18, including

00:20:06.130 --> 00:20:12.390
a double and an RBI. He has been timed going

00:20:12.390 --> 00:20:17.069
from home plate to first base in 3 -9, 3 .9 seconds.

00:20:18.349 --> 00:20:20.670
The pitch to Ortiz, ground ball down to Wills.

00:20:20.789 --> 00:20:22.950
He goes a short way to Lefevre, and that'll do

00:20:22.950 --> 00:20:25.730
it. No runs, no hits, a man left. At the end

00:20:25.730 --> 00:20:29.190
of an inning and a half, no score. Schlitz, Milwaukee,

00:20:29.509 --> 00:20:37.900
and the world. By 19, I first put out the sea.

00:20:38.339 --> 00:20:41.839
By 19, I'd sailed around the world. And now?

00:20:42.619 --> 00:20:45.200
Well, let's just say I've seen and done a lot.

00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:52.859
Enough for a lifetime? I doubt it. But there's

00:20:52.859 --> 00:20:56.240
always one more port ahead, so I keep going.

00:21:00.420 --> 00:21:02.839
I figure you only get one chance at life. Below

00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:06.859
it? Might as well quit. Oh, someday I'll go home.

00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:09.980
But right now I'll take home where I find it.

00:21:10.420 --> 00:21:13.720
And I find it. Why, I can order a Schlitz in

00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:16.359
seven different languages. And if that doesn't

00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:18.539
make you feel at home, I don't know what does.

00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:21.579
It seems that Schlitz is always one quarter ahead

00:21:21.579 --> 00:21:25.740
of me. Which is okay by me. Why settle for less?

00:21:26.420 --> 00:21:28.799
When you're out of Schlitz, you're out of beer.

00:21:35.150 --> 00:21:37.369
To the bottom of the second inning, no score

00:21:37.369 --> 00:21:39.809
in the ball game, Richie Allen, Bill Sudeikis,

00:21:40.069 --> 00:21:43.569
and Jimmy LaFever in that order. And Kenny Holtzman

00:21:43.569 --> 00:21:49.250
just about ready to go to work. Here looking

00:21:49.250 --> 00:21:52.549
out at the Chicago Bullpen brings back memories

00:21:52.549 --> 00:21:55.630
of just a few years ago through the mainstays

00:21:55.630 --> 00:21:59.109
of the Chicago Bullpen, Phil Regan, and also

00:21:59.109 --> 00:22:01.509
Bob Miller. Remember Bob with the Dodgers went

00:22:01.509 --> 00:22:04.019
over to the American League to Minnesota. but

00:22:04.019 --> 00:22:05.779
he has come back to the National League and with

00:22:05.779 --> 00:22:08.660
the Cubs. Allen takes what looked like a change

00:22:08.660 --> 00:22:11.299
turned over, a screwball for a strike, 0 -1.

00:22:13.779 --> 00:22:15.960
Ritchie has two hits, one of them was just a

00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:18.140
little nubber, the other a line drive double.

00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:23.359
0 -1 the count to Ritchie Allen. Oseman delivers,

00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:25.700
curve ball grounded down to third, speared there

00:22:25.700 --> 00:22:32.920
by Chateau, who throws him out. One away. Bill

00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:43.940
Sudeikis coming up During spring training I think

00:22:43.940 --> 00:22:46.140
we told you about an interesting story that was

00:22:46.140 --> 00:22:48.500
written by Wally Wilson of the Santa Monica Outlook

00:22:48.500 --> 00:22:52.660
About Duke Sims and his idea of hitting it was

00:22:52.660 --> 00:22:56.019
called breathless hitting well Sims and Sudeikis

00:22:56.019 --> 00:22:58.980
are roommates And now Sudeikis is a breathless

00:22:58.980 --> 00:23:01.380
hitter. He takes a curveball low ball one. What

00:23:01.380 --> 00:23:05.359
does that mean? Well, he expels all the air that

00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:08.740
he can out of his lungs before swinging the bat.

00:23:10.420 --> 00:23:13.440
And Sudeikis and Simms both feel that it helps

00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:16.920
you to be more relaxed, looser, and a much better

00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:20.420
swing. The 1 -0 pitch outside ball two. Well,

00:23:20.460 --> 00:23:24.460
Simms is hitting 400. Sudeikis is hitting 308.

00:23:25.210 --> 00:23:27.569
And when you come to Dodger Stadium, there'll

00:23:27.569 --> 00:23:29.730
be some hot air around home plate as well as

00:23:29.730 --> 00:23:32.710
up here in the booth. As long as Tim's a sedacist

00:23:32.710 --> 00:23:36.230
playing. Two hole pitch. Fastball. Head on the

00:23:36.230 --> 00:23:38.390
ground is short. Kessinger gloves it at the belt.

00:23:38.490 --> 00:23:40.650
In the dirt, the pep -a -ton and pep comes up

00:23:40.650 --> 00:23:48.650
with it. Good play by Joe. Two down. Here's Jimmy

00:23:48.650 --> 00:23:56.640
Lafeeva. I can't tell you what a great young

00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:59.819
man Jimmy LaFever is and what an asset he is

00:23:59.819 --> 00:24:02.440
to the ball club. And it was typical of LaFever

00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:05.259
the other day. Bill Russell made an incredible

00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:07.819
start of a double play the other night in a ball

00:24:07.819 --> 00:24:10.559
game the Dodgers won. Here's a pitch to Jimmy.

00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:13.940
Fast ball, low ball, one. And Russell came off

00:24:13.940 --> 00:24:15.700
the field and as Bill himself said later, he

00:24:15.700 --> 00:24:18.160
was kind of in a state of shock. And the first

00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:20.079
guy to greet him, to throw his arms around him

00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:22.539
and congratulate him on great play, is Jimmy

00:24:22.539 --> 00:24:25.819
LaFever. The boy who might lose his regular job

00:24:25.819 --> 00:24:28.220
to Bill Russell, but he's that kind of a guy.

00:24:28.500 --> 00:24:31.160
The 1 -0 pitch, high chopper to the left of short,

00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:33.819
speared there nicely by Kessinger, throws him

00:24:33.819 --> 00:24:35.880
out, and the Dodgers are gone the second inning.

00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:38.460
So at the end of two well -played innings, the

00:24:38.460 --> 00:24:41.480
Cubs nothing, the Dodgers nothing. You seldom

00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:44.039
hear Farmer John mention a fastball. Instead,

00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:46.500
he uses the expression, smokes one over you.

00:24:46.500 --> 00:24:48.900
I guess it's because smoke is so all -important

00:24:48.900 --> 00:24:51.559
in Farmer John's bacon business. In fact, it's

00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:54.079
what makes the flavor of Farmer John Bacon so

00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:56.680
delectably different. Not just any smoke either,

00:24:56.920 --> 00:24:59.299
but the smoke from native western wood. It's

00:24:59.299 --> 00:25:01.759
the old -time western way of smoking, and it

00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:04.079
gives every lean, meaty strip of Farmer John

00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:06.920
Bacon the genuine flavor of the West. Of course,

00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:09.599
flavor isn't all that distinguishes Farmer John

00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:12.559
Bacon. It's made from the finest eastern corn

00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:15.339
-fed pork. And to be sure his bacon is strictly

00:25:15.339 --> 00:25:18.180
fresh, Farmer John brings the porkers out here

00:25:18.180 --> 00:25:21.099
live. Then the meat's U .S. inspected and dressed

00:25:21.099 --> 00:25:23.400
fresh right here in the West. First chance you

00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:26.400
get, enjoy Farmer John Bacon, fried up so crisp

00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:29.019
it crackles. Believe me, you'll love it. Farmer

00:25:29.019 --> 00:25:32.019
John Bacon, gold medal winner at the California

00:25:32.019 --> 00:25:34.819
State Fair. It's the Eastern most in quality

00:25:34.819 --> 00:25:40.160
and the Western most in flavor. Don't forget

00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:42.079
tomorrow night, the concluding game of the series,

00:25:42.259 --> 00:25:44.099
the Dodgers and the Cubs, Milt Pappas and Bill

00:25:44.099 --> 00:25:46.700
Singer. Then the St. Louis Cardinals will come

00:25:46.700 --> 00:25:49.740
in, headlined by Orlando Cepeda, the only man

00:25:49.740 --> 00:25:51.559
in the league to hit eight home runs against

00:25:51.559 --> 00:25:55.019
the Dodgers last year. Cepeda did it. And along

00:25:55.019 --> 00:25:57.420
with Orlando, of course, will be Lou Brock and

00:25:57.420 --> 00:25:59.839
Ted Sizemore, who is now playing shortstop for

00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:02.279
St. Louis. They'll be in Wednesday and Thursday

00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:04.980
night. And then next weekend, the Houston Astros,

00:26:05.259 --> 00:26:07.849
Friday night, team night. saturday night ladies

00:26:07.849 --> 00:26:10.369
night seven o 'clock game and sunday afternoon

00:26:10.369 --> 00:26:12.950
autograph day and senior citizens day so make

00:26:12.950 --> 00:26:15.349
your plans and come on enjoy the fun we'll see

00:26:15.349 --> 00:26:17.349
you at dodger stadium we hope sometime during

00:26:17.349 --> 00:26:20.049
this week let's go to the third no score and

00:26:20.049 --> 00:26:21.869
for more play here's jerry doggers all right

00:26:21.869 --> 00:26:25.049
benny and catcher jc martin coming on martin

00:26:25.049 --> 00:26:27.170
was with san diego the white sox and with the

00:26:27.170 --> 00:26:30.089
mets before going to the cubs last year the pitch

00:26:30.089 --> 00:26:33.690
comes in low and it's one ball no strikes veteran

00:26:33.690 --> 00:26:38.470
catcher He's been around quite a while. He broke

00:26:38.470 --> 00:26:40.829
into the Major Leagues in 1959 with the White

00:26:40.829 --> 00:26:45.049
Sox. Now the windup in the 1 -0 pitch. Fastball

00:26:45.049 --> 00:26:47.269
a little low. Ball two. Two balls and no strikes.

00:26:48.950 --> 00:26:51.089
He was acquired by the Cubs just before the start

00:26:51.089 --> 00:26:57.829
of the 1970 season. Served as the backup catcher

00:26:57.829 --> 00:27:01.789
behind Randy Hundley. Now the 2 -0 pitch on the

00:27:01.789 --> 00:27:08.609
way. Strike on a fastball. 2 -1. Martin played

00:27:08.609 --> 00:27:17.069
in 40 games for Chicago last year. 2 -1 pitch.

00:27:17.309 --> 00:27:19.869
Taking low again, ball free. The Cubs have had

00:27:19.869 --> 00:27:22.170
one baserunner, Sandoval, who walked in the second.

00:27:22.950 --> 00:27:24.710
The Dodgers have not had a baserunner against

00:27:24.710 --> 00:27:30.029
Kenny Holtzman. First game of the two -game series.

00:27:30.170 --> 00:27:33.009
Milt Papas, Bill Singer, tomorrow night. Sandy

00:27:33.009 --> 00:27:36.880
Vance working here tonight. Now the wind up in

00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:39.339
the 3 -1 pitch on the way. Too low, he walked

00:27:39.339 --> 00:27:42.440
him. So Vance twice has walked the leadoff batter.

00:27:43.740 --> 00:27:46.099
And that'll bring to bat Kenny Holtzman the pitcher.

00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:58.980
Ken Holtzman coming on. Ken bats from the right

00:27:58.980 --> 00:28:02.380
side. He throws left. And we'll see if Leo puts

00:28:02.380 --> 00:28:04.180
the butt on for Holtzman. And now looks at third

00:28:04.180 --> 00:28:07.519
base coach Peanut Lowry. And Joe Amalfatano is

00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:10.700
coaching at first base. So two local lads in

00:28:10.700 --> 00:28:15.079
the coaching lines for Leo. The pitch to Holtzman,

00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:17.059
butted in the air. First base wave. Barker has

00:28:17.059 --> 00:28:20.059
it. And no play back to first base. So Holtzman

00:28:20.059 --> 00:28:24.480
pops up the butt. Well away, holding it first

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:26.460
is Martin. And the batter will be Don Kessinger.

00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:35.359
Kessinger coming up. Switch hitter batting from

00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:40.819
the left side against Vance. The Dodgers and

00:28:40.819 --> 00:28:43.240
the Cubs were all even last year. 3 -3 here,

00:28:43.299 --> 00:28:49.299
3 -3 in Chicago. Kessinger into the batter's

00:28:49.299 --> 00:28:52.880
box. All -star shortstop for the last several

00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:58.299
years. Don out of Mississippi. Pretty good basketball

00:28:58.299 --> 00:29:00.779
player there. Takes outside for the ball. One

00:29:00.779 --> 00:29:03.960
ball and no strikes. He was the National Leagues

00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:06.319
All -Star shortstop for the third straight year

00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:08.579
and was named in the Sporting News All -Star

00:29:08.579 --> 00:29:11.180
team and won a Golden Glove as the best defensive

00:29:11.180 --> 00:29:13.019
player in the league at the shortstop for the

00:29:13.019 --> 00:29:17.680
second straight year. And he hit 266. One ball,

00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:20.339
no strikes. Pitch on the way. Strike on the inside

00:29:20.339 --> 00:29:23.279
corner, knee high. And they want Vance to keep

00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:25.400
that ball down and he's doing it quite well tonight.

00:29:27.380 --> 00:29:29.779
Kessinger led the league in assists and the second

00:29:29.779 --> 00:29:34.279
in total chances in double plays. He led the

00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:36.700
team in triples and finished second to Willie

00:29:36.700 --> 00:29:42.559
Davis with 14. Powell allowed a play upstairs

00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:45.079
to the left and it's a ball and two strikes to

00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:52.559
Don Kessinger. He was a standout baseball and

00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:54.880
basketball player at the University of Mississippi.

00:29:55.279 --> 00:30:01.440
He was all -conference in both sports. Don is

00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:06.400
6 '1", weighs 175 pounds. One ball, two strikes,

00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:10.400
one out. On it, first Martin. Vance now checks,

00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:12.140
runner going, pitch on the waste one on the missed

00:30:12.140 --> 00:30:14.740
throw down by Sudeikis. Too high, and he's been

00:30:14.740 --> 00:30:18.619
safe. So Kessinger strikes out, and with the

00:30:18.619 --> 00:30:21.079
runner Martin going, he beats the throw. Well,

00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:22.779
Wills had to go to the second base side of the

00:30:22.779 --> 00:30:26.049
bag to handle it. Here's Becord coming on a little

00:30:26.049 --> 00:30:28.109
pause for station identification. This is the

00:30:28.109 --> 00:30:42.250
Los Angeles Dodgers radio network Glenn Becord

00:30:42.250 --> 00:30:46.710
at bat now grounded out his first time up Becord

00:30:46.710 --> 00:30:49.450
grounded a will Martin is on second now advanced

00:30:49.450 --> 00:30:52.509
check pitch on the way. Fly ball to right field.

00:30:52.670 --> 00:30:54.710
Manny Mota coming fast for it. Long way to go.

00:30:54.750 --> 00:30:57.250
Can't get it. Drops in for a base hit. The run

00:30:57.250 --> 00:31:01.789
is in. And the cut lead one to nothing. As Becker

00:31:01.789 --> 00:31:04.130
looks to fly ball to the shallow right field.

00:31:04.750 --> 00:31:08.069
Mota raced as far as he could. Skidded. Cut it

00:31:08.069 --> 00:31:11.509
on the short hop. And Martin scores the run.

00:31:12.529 --> 00:31:14.410
That brings up Willie Williams who popped up

00:31:14.410 --> 00:31:17.309
his first time at bat. So Becker gets the first

00:31:17.309 --> 00:31:20.299
hit of the game and it's good for a run. So the

00:31:20.299 --> 00:31:23.920
walk by Martin, the steal, set up the run, and

00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:29.019
Decker kites him in. Here's Williams at bat.

00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:34.180
He hits .333 on the air, and he has three home

00:31:34.180 --> 00:31:36.140
runs and six runs batted in. Takes the curve

00:31:36.140 --> 00:31:39.839
ball high, one ball, no strike. With Bill Williams

00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:42.740
off to a good start, he has seven hits. He had

00:31:42.740 --> 00:31:49.779
21 trips to the plate. Chicago leading one to

00:31:49.779 --> 00:31:52.259
nothing as we play on the top of the third inning.

00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:55.180
Sandy Vance checks, delivers to Williams. Half

00:31:55.180 --> 00:31:57.779
swing, and it's in there. Kick the bat. One ball,

00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:00.759
one strike. Williams tried to check his swing,

00:32:00.819 --> 00:32:04.339
had the ball at the bat. Billy had the greatest

00:32:04.339 --> 00:32:11.359
year of his career last year. He hit 322, had

00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:16.339
42 home runs, and 129 runs batted in. change

00:32:16.339 --> 00:32:19.720
up low blocked by Sudeikis and no play. Two and

00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:24.200
one to count. Williams is very close in the National

00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:27.140
League voting for most valuable player won by

00:32:27.140 --> 00:32:31.940
Johnny Bench. He did a lot of things well last

00:32:31.940 --> 00:32:36.400
year. He had a great season. Two and one. Now

00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:39.119
the pitch. High and away. Ball free. Three and

00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:43.200
one. He led the league in runs scored total bases

00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:45.970
tied for the most tips. and a second in the league

00:32:45.970 --> 00:32:50.089
and runs batted in on home runs. His batting

00:32:50.089 --> 00:32:54.670
average is fourth in the league. Three and one

00:32:54.670 --> 00:32:58.809
count. Pitch time is in for strike three and

00:32:58.809 --> 00:33:01.509
two. So with two out, Becker at first base ready

00:33:01.509 --> 00:33:14.829
to go on the next pitch. Williams now has 294

00:33:14.829 --> 00:33:20.089
lifetime home runs. Now the 3 -2 pitch. Swung

00:33:20.089 --> 00:33:22.369
on a fly ball into shallow center. That's going

00:33:22.369 --> 00:33:24.329
to be trouble. Will's going out, can't get it,

00:33:24.430 --> 00:33:26.589
drops in for a base hit. Will quickly brings

00:33:26.589 --> 00:33:28.650
it back in, holding a third base with Beckham

00:33:28.650 --> 00:33:31.609
on a brute single by Williams. So a couple little

00:33:31.609 --> 00:33:34.890
fly balls have fallen in the outfield for Chicago,

00:33:34.950 --> 00:33:36.990
and the Cubs now have runners on at first and

00:33:36.990 --> 00:33:40.170
third, and Ron Sando coming up. Williams sounded

00:33:40.170 --> 00:33:42.740
like he broke his fan on that one. hit it off

00:33:42.740 --> 00:33:44.960
the end of the stick and blew it just over Will's

00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:49.279
head in the center field. Sando coming up. He

00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:52.359
walked his first time up. So the walk in the

00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:55.619
inning to open it up to Martin has put Sandy

00:33:55.619 --> 00:33:58.640
Vance in some trouble. The walk has been cashed

00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:01.460
in for a run. And now the Cubs have runners at

00:34:01.460 --> 00:34:06.819
first and third with two outs. Sando up. He has

00:34:06.819 --> 00:34:10.039
just one RBI so far on the year. Ron hit 267

00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:15.400
last year and had 26 home runs. Vance Reddy delivers.

00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:19.320
Fast ball high. One ball and no strikes. Saddle

00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:26.880
came to the Cubs first in 1960. Four times in

00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:30.579
his career, he has driven over 100 runs. 114

00:34:30.579 --> 00:34:34.599
last year and 123 the year before. 1 -0 to count

00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:38.719
to number 10, the Cubs captain Ron Santo. Fastball

00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:41.519
inside, ball 2, and it's 2 balls and no strikes.

00:34:53.500 --> 00:34:56.219
Santo leading 2 -0. Runners on at first and third

00:34:56.219 --> 00:34:58.780
for Chicago. We're in the third inning. Fans

00:34:58.780 --> 00:35:01.119
ready. The look and the pitch. Ground ball toward

00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:03.409
second. The Fever has it, plays it to Wills,

00:35:03.510 --> 00:35:08.050
but the force there in the inning is over. So

00:35:08.050 --> 00:35:10.769
they're all out in the third, one run, two hits,

00:35:11.269 --> 00:35:13.510
and two left. The score at the end of two of

00:35:13.510 --> 00:35:17.050
the happenings, Cubs won, Dodgers nothing. Hello,

00:35:17.070 --> 00:35:20.090
I'm Eddie Basher, this year's chairman of Gompers'

00:35:20.230 --> 00:35:23.269
10th annual Barbecue Carnival. Your attendance

00:35:23.269 --> 00:35:25.769
at this event will mean a lot of fun for you,

00:35:25.989 --> 00:35:29.230
as well as much help for the handicap that Gompers

00:35:29.230 --> 00:35:42.480
re - about your telephone service, your service

00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:45.380
representative probably has the answer. Whether

00:35:45.380 --> 00:35:48.940
you want to order a phone, move a phone, or check

00:35:48.940 --> 00:35:52.099
your telephone bill, just call your Pacific Telephone

00:35:52.099 --> 00:35:55.119
Business Office and ask for your service representative.

00:35:55.619 --> 00:35:58.900
She is specially trained to have or find the

00:35:58.900 --> 00:36:19.369
answers to your questions. Happy birthday to

00:36:19.369 --> 00:36:23.269
the Dodgers first lady, Mrs. Kay O'Malley. Celebrating

00:36:23.269 --> 00:36:25.429
a happy birthday today and hoping that the Dodgers

00:36:25.429 --> 00:36:27.570
can give her a happy birthday present of victory

00:36:27.570 --> 00:36:31.789
over the Cubs. Here's Steve Garvey coming on.

00:36:31.949 --> 00:36:37.349
So from all of us, a happy birthday also. Steve

00:36:37.349 --> 00:36:40.309
Garvey is batting 2 -11 facing Kenny Holtzman.

00:36:47.690 --> 00:36:50.010
with checking signs and catch your mark into

00:36:50.010 --> 00:36:52.090
the windup for the pitch on the way. Garvey takes

00:36:52.090 --> 00:36:54.349
the curve low for the ball. The Dodgers have

00:36:54.349 --> 00:37:02.329
a team batting average of 260. But have managed

00:37:02.329 --> 00:37:05.409
to win just two and lose four, rather than giving

00:37:05.409 --> 00:37:09.989
up quite a few runs. The swing is a high fly

00:37:09.989 --> 00:37:12.530
foul off to the right out of play. The Dodgers

00:37:12.530 --> 00:37:15.429
have scored 24 runs. They have allowed 24 runs.

00:37:15.739 --> 00:37:19.219
But they have 52 hits to the opposition's 35.

00:37:21.059 --> 00:37:23.139
The Cubs, meanwhile, have a team batting average

00:37:23.139 --> 00:37:29.480
of only 221. They have scored only 19 runs in

00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:33.519
16. Garvey takes low ball 2 and it's 2 and 1.

00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:42.820
2 -1 count holds from checking Garvey waiting.

00:37:44.809 --> 00:37:47.030
Look at the high fly ball to deep right field.

00:37:47.110 --> 00:37:49.329
Callison going way back for this one. Going,

00:37:49.429 --> 00:38:09.090
going. It's gone. Home run. Steve Garvey is pretty

00:38:09.090 --> 00:38:11.349
strong to get that ball to right field. Right

00:38:11.349 --> 00:38:14.190
hand batter. It hit between the 3 .50 and 3 .70

00:38:14.190 --> 00:38:16.269
mark into the bleachers and the Dodgers have

00:38:16.269 --> 00:38:19.230
caught up 1 -1 on Garvey's second home run of

00:38:19.230 --> 00:38:22.449
the year. All spring Garvey was going to right

00:38:22.449 --> 00:38:23.969
field with good power and then he was pulled

00:38:23.969 --> 00:38:27.010
on occasion. And now he opens up this ballgame

00:38:27.010 --> 00:38:28.809
for the Dodgers with a home run in the right

00:38:28.809 --> 00:38:32.030
field seat. He's by what turned out to be a real

00:38:32.030 --> 00:38:37.949
strong one for the Dodgers. Bill Russell waiting.

00:38:38.150 --> 00:38:40.050
Ball one count to pitch to Bill. Popped foul

00:38:40.050 --> 00:38:42.809
out of play on the count of 1 -1. Russell batting

00:38:42.809 --> 00:38:45.329
in the eighth spot. For the home run with Steve

00:38:45.329 --> 00:38:47.130
Garvey, we're pleased to present two books of

00:38:47.130 --> 00:38:50.090
union a lot of strips to Steve and two books

00:38:50.090 --> 00:38:53.090
to the San Fernando Valley Association for Retarded

00:38:53.090 --> 00:38:57.710
Children in Sepulveda. One -on -one the count

00:38:57.710 --> 00:39:01.289
to Bill Russell. Holtzman delivers. Up high with

00:39:01.289 --> 00:39:05.250
a breaking ball, two and one. Holtzman's record

00:39:05.250 --> 00:39:08.510
on the air, 0 -1 -1. He worked four and two -thirds

00:39:08.510 --> 00:39:10.469
innings in his other appearance in the last six

00:39:10.469 --> 00:39:14.369
runs. This is the first home run that he has

00:39:14.369 --> 00:39:16.869
allowed to be here. The swing of the drive, the

00:39:16.869 --> 00:39:18.730
deep center field, fading back a little bit as

00:39:18.730 --> 00:39:21.769
Orte's turn makes the catch for the off. So Rosalaba

00:39:21.769 --> 00:39:23.929
on a line drive at the center, and that'll bring

00:39:23.929 --> 00:39:46.639
up Sandy Vance. Sandy Vance coming up now. Advance

00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:53.880
the batter. Holtzman checking. Advance the right

00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:56.900
-hander all the way. A swing and a miss and a

00:39:56.900 --> 00:40:01.079
fastball. Strike one. Steve Garveau, home run,

00:40:01.099 --> 00:40:02.780
opening up the last half of the third and he

00:40:02.780 --> 00:40:07.460
hit it to right field. Now the pitch on the way

00:40:07.460 --> 00:40:09.199
to advance. Home run and a miss. Strike two,

00:40:09.219 --> 00:40:11.760
oh and two. Garveau has five hits on the year.

00:40:11.980 --> 00:40:14.260
Two of them doubles and two home runs, but he

00:40:14.260 --> 00:40:19.139
has only one single so far. Here's the 2 -0 -0

00:40:19.139 --> 00:40:21.260
-2 pitch, and Vance takes high on the way, ball

00:40:21.260 --> 00:40:25.920
one, one and two. The Dodgers might come up with

00:40:25.920 --> 00:40:29.539
some pretty good power. And fellows like Garvey,

00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:33.139
of course, Grabarca with mid -18 last year, Sudeikis,

00:40:33.820 --> 00:40:37.079
and Richie Allen pitch high for ball two -two.

00:40:39.059 --> 00:40:41.579
That's the first Dodger team home run. The Cubs

00:40:41.579 --> 00:40:45.079
have hit only four home runs. And they have long

00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:46.900
been noted as one of the top home run hitting

00:40:46.900 --> 00:40:49.880
teams in the league. Here's the 2 -2 pitch to

00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:53.059
Vance. Brown ball to shortstop. Kessinger has

00:40:53.059 --> 00:40:57.360
it. Here's his throw. It's in time. 2 -0. Vance

00:40:57.360 --> 00:40:59.579
rolls to short. Maury Wills coming up. Maury

00:40:59.579 --> 00:41:02.739
struck out his first time at bat. Maury Wills.

00:41:09.389 --> 00:41:22.690
Will's hitting 2 -17. On the scoreboard today,

00:41:23.269 --> 00:41:27.550
Pittsburgh beats Philadelphia 4 -3. Cincinnati

00:41:27.550 --> 00:41:30.250
over Atlanta 7 -3. McLaughlin the winner and

00:41:30.250 --> 00:41:33.230
Reed the loser. Pitch to Will's a ball. One ball,

00:41:33.269 --> 00:41:37.409
no strikes. And St. Louis is leading Houston

00:41:37.409 --> 00:41:41.909
by a score of 5 -4. in the ninth inning in Houston.

00:41:42.289 --> 00:41:43.789
Rather than say it was a bunt, first base wave,

00:41:44.070 --> 00:41:46.030
Pepitone comes to field it, first pace is open,

00:41:46.250 --> 00:41:52.889
and Wills beats it out, no close. So Wills putted,

00:41:53.369 --> 00:41:55.329
and Pepitone had to come off the bag to play

00:41:55.329 --> 00:41:57.210
it, but that time Holton was late getting over

00:41:57.210 --> 00:41:59.690
there, and Wills beats out the bunt for a base

00:41:59.690 --> 00:42:03.829
pass. That'll bring up Manny Moda, he's grounded

00:42:03.829 --> 00:42:09.050
out to Pepitone his first time up. So the Reds

00:42:09.050 --> 00:42:10.849
have won their first game of the year. They now

00:42:10.849 --> 00:42:20.349
stand 1 -4. And San Francisco beats San Diego

00:42:20.349 --> 00:42:24.449
5 -0. And the Giants have moved into the top

00:42:24.449 --> 00:42:31.710
spot now. Tied ahead of Atlanta. Moda takes low

00:42:31.710 --> 00:42:34.630
and inside. Ball in. Atlanta losing tonight.

00:42:34.670 --> 00:42:38.710
Now it's 4 -2. The Giants are 5 -2. Houston five

00:42:38.710 --> 00:42:42.329
and two and losing tonight. San Diego three and

00:42:42.329 --> 00:42:43.929
four and the Dodgers two and four and the Reds

00:42:43.929 --> 00:42:49.469
are one and four. One ball, no strike. Molder

00:42:49.469 --> 00:42:51.809
waiting, Will going. Ground ball to our second.

00:42:52.809 --> 00:42:54.829
Here's the play to first and the inning is over.

00:42:55.409 --> 00:42:57.909
The Molder grounds out. The Dodgers go down with

00:42:57.909 --> 00:43:00.130
one run on two hits and leave one on the score

00:43:00.130 --> 00:43:03.269
at the end of three. Dodgers one and the Cubs

00:43:03.269 --> 00:43:11.780
have one. Super 76, sir? Yeah, please. You know

00:43:11.780 --> 00:43:14.039
the trouble today, Marge. People have no pride

00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:16.679
in their work. No spirit. Nobody really knows

00:43:16.679 --> 00:43:19.219
his job anymore. Now take this guy. No, don't

00:43:19.219 --> 00:43:21.260
worry. I want to ask you something. Yes, sir?

00:43:21.579 --> 00:43:23.300
Would you happen to have any idea why they call

00:43:23.300 --> 00:43:26.199
this gasoline Super 76? Well, sir, wouldn't you

00:43:26.199 --> 00:43:28.420
say a gasoline with five engine cleaners to keep

00:43:28.420 --> 00:43:30.260
your engine, carburetor, and anti -pollution

00:43:30.260 --> 00:43:33.059
valve clean is pretty super? Don't say a word,

00:43:33.219 --> 00:43:39.219
Marge. Not a word. Union Oil thinks a clean engine

00:43:39.219 --> 00:43:41.840
is pretty important. That's why you'll find five

00:43:41.840 --> 00:43:44.679
engine cleaners in Super 76, Union Oil's premium

00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:47.280
gasoline. Because a cleaner engine runs better,

00:43:47.460 --> 00:43:50.239
and it helps reduce pollution. Well, there's

00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:52.280
a man who certainly has the spirit. No, he's

00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:54.699
just the exception that proves the rule. George,

00:43:54.820 --> 00:43:56.820
I could almost think you had trouble admitting

00:43:56.820 --> 00:43:59.539
when you're wrong. The spirit of 76 lives at

00:43:59.539 --> 00:44:03.820
Union Oil. Three to two, scoring twice in the

00:44:03.820 --> 00:44:06.260
eighth inning. Oakland over Milwaukee, five to

00:44:06.260 --> 00:44:09.010
nothing. Minnesota beat Kansas City 2 -0 and

00:44:09.010 --> 00:44:12.269
Boston over Washington 10 -7. So that's everything

00:44:12.269 --> 00:44:14.130
on the scoreboard. We're set to go into the fourth

00:44:14.130 --> 00:44:16.429
inning of the ballgame now. Cubs coming back

00:44:16.429 --> 00:44:18.469
to play here at Smith. All right, Gary, a run,

00:44:18.510 --> 00:44:21.130
two hits for each side. A difference in the ballgame.

00:44:21.230 --> 00:44:23.590
A couple of bloop singles to set over the run

00:44:23.590 --> 00:44:26.050
for the Cubs. And a line drive home run to the

00:44:26.050 --> 00:44:28.369
opposite field by Steve Garvey to get the Dodgers

00:44:28.369 --> 00:44:31.909
even. So here's Pepitone, Callison, and Ortiz

00:44:31.909 --> 00:44:34.550
in that order. Pepitone left -hand -mitting first

00:44:34.550 --> 00:44:40.179
baseman batting 3 -0 -4. Sandy Vans into the

00:44:40.179 --> 00:44:42.199
wind -up and the pitch to Pepitone, a change

00:44:42.199 --> 00:44:44.940
outside ball one. We told this story once this

00:44:44.940 --> 00:44:47.760
spring. We won't repeat it again, but it is a

00:44:47.760 --> 00:44:49.820
tip -off on what kind of a character Pepitone

00:44:49.820 --> 00:44:54.119
is. It came out after last season. The fact that

00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:57.019
he kept begging Leo de Rocher to let him steal

00:44:57.019 --> 00:45:00.519
a base. Please let me steal a base. Leo de Rocher

00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:04.059
said no. Here's the 1 -0 pitch. High ball 2,

00:45:04.119 --> 00:45:07.570
2 -0. And then one day, Leo Derochev blasted

00:45:07.570 --> 00:45:10.389
the sign to Joey Amalfitano, left Pepitone sealed.

00:45:10.949 --> 00:45:14.010
Well, the sign was for Amalfitano, the coach,

00:45:14.329 --> 00:45:17.769
to wink at Pepitone. So Joe took his lead, and

00:45:17.769 --> 00:45:20.489
Amalfitano winked, and Pepitone never moved.

00:45:20.849 --> 00:45:24.130
The 2 -0 pitch is popped in the air. Will's waiting,

00:45:24.670 --> 00:45:28.550
100 now, and makes the catch, one away. Anyway,

00:45:28.590 --> 00:45:31.909
just to conclude the story, Amalfitano winked,

00:45:31.909 --> 00:45:35.690
and Pepitone didn't move. So Leo gave the steel

00:45:35.690 --> 00:45:39.150
sign again and Amalfitana winked and Pepitone

00:45:39.150 --> 00:45:42.090
never moved and finally Leo got a little angry

00:45:42.090 --> 00:45:44.449
and flashed the sign again and for the third

00:45:44.449 --> 00:45:47.769
time Amalfitana winked and this time Pepitone

00:45:47.769 --> 00:45:53.929
blew him a kiss. That's Joe Pepitone. Here's

00:45:53.929 --> 00:45:56.309
Johnny Callison and lines have fouled into the

00:45:56.309 --> 00:46:03.139
lower deck in right field 0 and 1 to count. Callison

00:46:03.139 --> 00:46:09.800
hit into a force play in the second inning. Johnny

00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:12.199
has three home runs against the Dodgers last

00:46:12.199 --> 00:46:15.179
year. He bunts up along the third baseline. Garvey

00:46:15.179 --> 00:46:18.460
in a hurry and guns him out and oh what a dangerous

00:46:18.460 --> 00:46:23.780
play for Wes Parker. Parker had to actually go

00:46:23.780 --> 00:46:26.969
into the runner to handle a throw. and came within

00:46:26.969 --> 00:46:29.070
a whisker of one of those head -on collisions.

00:46:29.289 --> 00:46:31.449
That's a rare time you'll see Parker get in a

00:46:31.449 --> 00:46:35.429
jam like that. West normally is able to get to

00:46:35.429 --> 00:46:38.510
the bag and catch that throw in foul ground with

00:46:38.510 --> 00:46:40.809
his foot on the bag, but that time he almost

00:46:40.809 --> 00:46:43.670
went right head -on into Callison. So Parker

00:46:43.670 --> 00:46:46.329
and Callison are each fortunate that they escaped

00:46:46.329 --> 00:46:49.329
a serious collision that time, two down, and

00:46:49.329 --> 00:46:56.449
the batter is Jose Ortiz. Ortiz hit into a fourth

00:46:56.449 --> 00:47:00.710
play in the second inning. Change over, first

00:47:00.710 --> 00:47:04.150
right on one. Final score, the Cardinals beat

00:47:04.150 --> 00:47:07.250
Houston 5 -4, Steve Carlton over Wade Blasingame.

00:47:07.610 --> 00:47:09.710
Don't forget, the Cardinals will be in here Wednesday

00:47:09.710 --> 00:47:24.360
night. Change over, first right on one. Final

00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:27.119
score, the Cardinals beat Houston 5 -4, Steve

00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:29.960
Carlin over Wade Lashinge. Don't forget the Cardinals

00:47:29.960 --> 00:47:34.099
will be in here Wednesday night. Here's the strike

00:47:34.099 --> 00:47:36.480
one pitch to Ortiz. Breaking ball in the dirt,

00:47:36.719 --> 00:47:43.300
backhanded by Sudeikis in the count 1 -1. 1 -1,

00:47:43.320 --> 00:47:45.400
that's the count, that's the score. With two

00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:47.139
out in the fourth inning and the bases empty.

00:47:47.400 --> 00:47:52.099
Sandy Vance and Kenny Holtzman. Now the 1 -1

00:47:52.099 --> 00:47:55.289
pitch on the way. Breaking ball low, ball two,

00:47:55.329 --> 00:47:59.309
two and one. Ortiz, as we mentioned, is first

00:47:59.309 --> 00:48:05.269
trip very fast. You can run to first base in

00:48:05.269 --> 00:48:08.650
under four seconds. You fly, and he has been

00:48:08.650 --> 00:48:11.289
timed at three -nine. So he puts heat on the

00:48:11.289 --> 00:48:14.829
infield. Two -one pitch to Jose. Ground ball

00:48:14.829 --> 00:48:17.489
sharply to Wills. He's up with it, goes to first,

00:48:17.530 --> 00:48:20.599
and that's that. One of the incredible things

00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:23.000
about baseball, no matter how fast the man is,

00:48:23.179 --> 00:48:25.380
there's no way you can out -leg a ground ball

00:48:25.380 --> 00:48:27.699
that should add an infielder. So they've got

00:48:27.699 --> 00:48:29.320
an order in the fourth, and at the end of three

00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:32.920
and a half, a one -one tie. Flip. Milwaukee and

00:48:32.920 --> 00:48:45.239
the world. When you get caught in the eye of

00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:47.639
a nor 'easter, it can be a pretty hairy thing.

00:48:48.150 --> 00:48:50.590
Wings whip up to a hundred and thirty miles an

00:48:50.590 --> 00:48:52.889
hour and can crack open the hull of a ship like

00:48:52.889 --> 00:48:55.769
an egg. And the waves, the waves are the worst.

00:48:56.170 --> 00:48:58.530
They wash over the deck and can sweep everything

00:48:58.530 --> 00:49:01.349
overboard, but it can happen down, including

00:49:01.349 --> 00:49:04.449
you. But the worst goes on. If you happen to

00:49:04.449 --> 00:49:07.429
be caught topside, you will fall right, but survive

00:49:07.429 --> 00:49:10.230
it. So you put on your life jacket and hang on

00:49:10.230 --> 00:49:14.190
and sweat it out till the storm blows over. Then

00:49:14.190 --> 00:49:18.139
you celebrate with a slip. Listen, life's a one

00:49:18.139 --> 00:49:21.179
-time thing. Nobody gets a second chance. So

00:49:21.179 --> 00:49:23.480
you'll live it with all but gusto in your mouth,

00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:26.480
right down to the beer you drink. Why settle

00:49:26.480 --> 00:49:29.500
for less? When you're out of Schlitz, you're

00:49:29.500 --> 00:49:38.250
out of beer. Bottom of the fourth inning, a 1

00:49:38.250 --> 00:49:41.090
-1 tie. A reminder to our listeners, 19 or younger

00:49:41.090 --> 00:49:43.929
especially, don't forget Friday night is your

00:49:43.929 --> 00:49:46.630
night at Dodger Stadium, the first of two team

00:49:46.630 --> 00:49:49.170
nights this year. Team night tickets for only

00:49:49.170 --> 00:49:52.590
one dollar and you get a 250 reserve seat. You'll

00:49:52.590 --> 00:49:54.829
find team night booths in both sides of the stadium

00:49:54.829 --> 00:49:56.690
and if you have some adults with you they can

00:49:56.690 --> 00:49:58.889
purchase their 250 seats and sit right next to

00:49:58.889 --> 00:50:01.550
you. So make team night your date night at Dodger

00:50:01.550 --> 00:50:04.090
Stadium this Friday night. Team night tickets

00:50:04.090 --> 00:50:07.119
only one dollar. Curveball has hit the right

00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:09.639
center, but Ortiz is there to make the catch.

00:50:10.059 --> 00:50:12.880
So Parker goes out, one away. The Beeson Prize

00:50:12.880 --> 00:50:14.800
is given out. We'll also have Jerry Ray in the

00:50:14.800 --> 00:50:20.960
Blue Forest Friday night. So if the kids in the

00:50:20.960 --> 00:50:22.719
neighborhood are saying, hey, babe, what's happening?

00:50:23.460 --> 00:50:25.679
You tell them, team night at Dodger Stadium Friday

00:50:25.679 --> 00:50:30.980
night, right on, right here. Here's Richie Allen.

00:50:34.010 --> 00:50:35.909
Ritchie grounded a third in the second inning.

00:50:36.050 --> 00:50:38.309
Holtzman's fastball is fouled back in the count

00:50:38.309 --> 00:50:49.570
on one. 0 -1 to Ritchie. Bill Sudeikis on deck.

00:50:51.070 --> 00:50:54.130
Now there's strike two pitch on the way. A high

00:50:54.130 --> 00:50:57.210
fly ball into deep center field. Back for Ortiz.

00:50:57.369 --> 00:51:03.130
A way back. It's gone. Welcome to the club, Ritchie.

00:51:36.940 --> 00:51:39.360
and the Dodgers lead two to one, so they could

00:51:39.360 --> 00:51:42.900
save five, ball one. Allen hit a towering drive.

00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:45.400
It looked like a marble going out over the center

00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:48.619
field fence. He got a standing ovation from the

00:51:48.619 --> 00:51:51.559
crowd, and as he walked along the path to the

00:51:51.559 --> 00:51:53.760
Dodger dugout, you can tell he was thinking about

00:51:53.760 --> 00:51:55.440
it because ballplayers are very sensitive as

00:51:55.440 --> 00:51:58.000
to what to do to an ovation. And he finally decided

00:51:58.000 --> 00:52:00.280
he should acknowledge it, and he took his helmet

00:52:00.280 --> 00:52:02.739
off. And then he got a standing ovation in the

00:52:02.739 --> 00:52:04.900
dugout from the Dodgers, and Wes Parker pulled

00:52:04.900 --> 00:52:07.949
him into the crowd. and he indeed has now been

00:52:07.949 --> 00:52:10.710
welcomed officially to the ball club not that

00:52:10.710 --> 00:52:13.369
he wasn't a member anyway but he has proven his

00:52:13.369 --> 00:52:15.789
point so the Dodgers lead two to one and he shook

00:52:15.789 --> 00:52:18.570
them up oh did he hit that thing and actually

00:52:18.570 --> 00:52:22.369
he hit under the ball the two -oh pitch to Sudsy

00:52:22.369 --> 00:52:25.670
a one hopper banged at Kessinger Don stays with

00:52:25.670 --> 00:52:27.409
it to get him two out and they're hitting a few

00:52:27.409 --> 00:52:31.630
darts against left -hander Kenny Holtzman on

00:52:31.630 --> 00:52:34.190
the home run by Richie Allen two books of union

00:52:34.190 --> 00:52:36.780
all -autoscript to Richie and two books of the

00:52:36.780 --> 00:52:40.159
Pacific Lodge Boys Home Incorporated, 4900 Cerrania

00:52:40.159 --> 00:52:43.719
Avenue in Woodland Hill. Listen to the crowd

00:52:43.719 --> 00:52:52.539
talking. Boy, I tell you one thing, this ball

00:52:52.539 --> 00:52:54.199
club is going to have people talking. Whether

00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:56.840
they win or not, nobody knows that. But we were

00:52:56.840 --> 00:52:59.199
saying this earlier, as far as coming out and

00:52:59.199 --> 00:53:02.099
investing some money and having some fun, they

00:53:02.099 --> 00:53:04.760
are a particularly good investment this year.

00:53:05.440 --> 00:53:10.500
Awful. But Fever takes the strike on one. Two

00:53:10.500 --> 00:53:12.920
to one Dodgers in the fourth inning. Postman

00:53:12.920 --> 00:53:15.460
comes back. Curved ball and a beauty over strike

00:53:15.460 --> 00:53:21.199
two. Richie Allen has his 212 home runs in eight

00:53:21.199 --> 00:53:24.019
years plus. He starts this year with a lifetime

00:53:24.019 --> 00:53:31.179
batting average of 297. Now the strike two pitch

00:53:31.179 --> 00:53:33.380
on the way. Fast ball away. Ball one. One and

00:53:33.380 --> 00:53:37.050
two. A fellow who hit home runs that high, and

00:53:37.050 --> 00:53:39.829
you don't see them go out that far that high,

00:53:40.170 --> 00:53:42.610
but that was an old Ralph Keiner type home run.

00:53:43.170 --> 00:53:44.550
Because when you hit it that high, you figure

00:53:44.550 --> 00:53:48.289
it can't possibly go too far. The one -two curve

00:53:48.289 --> 00:53:53.489
is whacked down the line foul. If you know Dodger

00:53:53.489 --> 00:53:55.610
Stadium at all, you know in center field you

00:53:55.610 --> 00:53:58.610
have two flag poles. And it's 400 just at the

00:53:58.610 --> 00:54:01.329
curve on either side of the center fielder. Well

00:54:01.329 --> 00:54:04.440
the ball went out between the flag poles. Closer

00:54:04.440 --> 00:54:10.059
to the one in left center. With Ortiz up against

00:54:10.059 --> 00:54:13.480
the board watching it go out. Here's the one

00:54:13.480 --> 00:54:16.480
-two pitch to Jimmy LaFever. Fastball hit down

00:54:16.480 --> 00:54:18.599
to Kessinger. He's busy tonight. Don up with

00:54:18.599 --> 00:54:20.840
it to get him. And the Dodgers are gone, but

00:54:20.840 --> 00:54:23.360
not before they get on the board. On the towering

00:54:23.360 --> 00:54:25.719
home run by Allen. A run on a hit. And at the

00:54:25.719 --> 00:54:29.840
end of the four, Dodgers two, Cubs one. Farmer

00:54:29.840 --> 00:54:32.099
John says that every home should have an on -deck

00:54:32.099 --> 00:54:34.500
circle, like a spot in your refrigerator, for

00:54:34.500 --> 00:54:37.000
a package of his Farmer John wieners. That way,

00:54:37.059 --> 00:54:39.199
they're always handy when you want to whip up

00:54:39.199 --> 00:54:42.199
an easy, enjoyable meal. A delicious idea it

00:54:42.199 --> 00:54:45.000
is, too, since Farmer John wieners have a wondrous,

00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:47.659
wide -open space and Western flavor you can hardly

00:54:47.659 --> 00:54:50.679
believe. The secret is in the smoking. Farmer

00:54:50.679 --> 00:54:53.099
John smokes his wieners like he smokes his famous

00:54:53.099 --> 00:54:56.159
bacon, over real smoke from native Western wood.

00:54:56.349 --> 00:54:59.090
And Farmer John wieners are as hearty and wholesome

00:54:59.090 --> 00:55:01.530
as they are delicious because they're all meat

00:55:01.530 --> 00:55:04.869
and the best meat too. Be sure to pick up a package

00:55:04.869 --> 00:55:07.190
of Farmer John wieners in the delicatessen section

00:55:07.190 --> 00:55:10.090
of your market. And look, the Farmer John Dodger

00:55:10.090 --> 00:55:12.250
dogs in the meat department. They're the long,

00:55:12.369 --> 00:55:14.429
luscious 10 -inch wieners sold at the ballpark.

00:55:14.650 --> 00:55:17.230
Except for size, Farmer John wieners and Farmer

00:55:17.230 --> 00:55:20.239
John Dodger dogs are the same. Both won gold

00:55:20.239 --> 00:55:22.880
medals at the California State Fair, and both

00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:25.440
would fit nicely in that on -deck circle of your

00:55:25.440 --> 00:55:30.719
refrigerator. Through four innings, the Dodgers

00:55:30.719 --> 00:55:32.960
two runs, three hits, and no errors. The Cubs

00:55:32.960 --> 00:55:35.820
one run, two hits, and no errors. Sandy Vance

00:55:35.820 --> 00:55:40.840
and Kenny Hoffman. Sandy Vance has not done too

00:55:40.840 --> 00:55:45.599
much pitching for the Dodgers this spring. Vance

00:55:45.599 --> 00:55:54.769
had a brief stint. against the Angels. So the

00:55:54.769 --> 00:55:56.369
Dodger, of course, will have to watch him. He

00:55:56.369 --> 00:56:00.909
went five innings against the Angels in a Dodger

00:56:00.909 --> 00:56:03.070
Sunday victory against California. Ground ball

00:56:03.070 --> 00:56:05.489
to Parker. West to the bag for the out. One away

00:56:05.489 --> 00:56:08.210
as far as J .C. Martin is concerned. And in a

00:56:08.210 --> 00:56:12.070
moment, Kenny Holtzman coming up. So when Othello

00:56:12.070 --> 00:56:14.789
has not pitched too long in any one ballgame,

00:56:14.929 --> 00:56:17.849
you immediately check his... high point or the

00:56:17.849 --> 00:56:20.230
most innings and when he gets to that point you

00:56:20.230 --> 00:56:23.530
figure from then on he bears watching well his

00:56:23.530 --> 00:56:25.769
longest stint five and he's working his fifth

00:56:25.769 --> 00:56:31.110
inning right now however to look back at the

00:56:31.110 --> 00:56:34.170
box and your scorecard if you are keeping score

00:56:34.170 --> 00:56:36.929
you'll notice all the ground balls off the bats

00:56:36.929 --> 00:56:40.789
of the Cubs so so far Vance has been able to

00:56:40.789 --> 00:56:43.409
keep the ball down and he's leading two to one

00:56:43.409 --> 00:56:46.599
it's not quite as simple as that but It sure

00:56:46.599 --> 00:56:49.139
is an indication. Holtzman, a pretty good hitting

00:56:49.139 --> 00:56:51.260
pitcher, takes a breaking ball for a strike on

00:56:51.260 --> 00:56:56.460
one. Kenny, left -hand pitcher, right -hand batter.

00:56:58.099 --> 00:57:01.940
On deck, Don Kessinger. Vance comes back, fastball,

00:57:02.079 --> 00:57:06.500
over at the knees, strike two, 0 -2. Yeah, this

00:57:06.500 --> 00:57:08.940
fella could be a pitcher. Oh boy, you hear the

00:57:08.940 --> 00:57:11.019
experts, the pitching coaches, and the scouts

00:57:11.019 --> 00:57:15.500
talk about him. And everyone's really know. Strike

00:57:15.500 --> 00:57:17.820
two pitch on the way to Holtzman. Fastball in

00:57:17.820 --> 00:57:25.380
the dirt. Ball one. One and two. It's hard to

00:57:25.380 --> 00:57:27.760
keep the ball down. You hear somebody say, well,

00:57:27.800 --> 00:57:30.420
all Vance has to do is keep the ball down. First

00:57:30.420 --> 00:57:32.059
of all, not only that, but it's hard to keep

00:57:32.059 --> 00:57:34.400
it down. The breaking ball is low. Ball two.

00:57:34.739 --> 00:57:38.260
What happens is, as they pitch your tires...

00:57:38.539 --> 00:57:41.739
He no longer takes that good stride, no longer

00:57:41.739 --> 00:57:44.559
bends his back the same way, no longer releases

00:57:44.559 --> 00:57:48.079
late, and then the pitch starts to come up. The

00:57:48.079 --> 00:57:50.300
two two -pitch swung on and missed by three.

00:57:50.760 --> 00:57:53.119
And in the big league, when the pitch starts

00:57:53.119 --> 00:57:57.199
to come up, the pitcher usually goes out. If

00:57:57.199 --> 00:57:59.599
you were raised the same way I was, all you ever

00:57:59.599 --> 00:58:01.679
heard of when you were a kid about the high hard

00:58:01.679 --> 00:58:05.019
one? Well, the high hard one is all right if

00:58:05.019 --> 00:58:08.019
you have a a Bob Gibson fastball, or if you throw

00:58:08.019 --> 00:58:11.480
like Kovacs used to throw, or even a Mara shot,

00:58:11.500 --> 00:58:15.500
but there aren't too many around. And the ordinary

00:58:15.500 --> 00:58:17.920
human being type high fastball is going to be

00:58:17.920 --> 00:58:22.119
hit a mile. Here's Kessinger with two out. He's

00:58:22.119 --> 00:58:24.699
grounded out and struck out. Good ballplayers.

00:58:25.380 --> 00:58:28.019
Switch hitting shortstop, takes low ball one.

00:58:33.380 --> 00:58:36.630
Two runs, three hits for the Dodgers. Danny Ozark

00:58:36.630 --> 00:58:38.789
bringing up Bill Russell in center field just

00:58:38.789 --> 00:58:42.190
a dab Now moving them over a little left center

00:58:42.190 --> 00:58:44.469
and there's a ground ball hit to Lafever Frenchy

00:58:44.469 --> 00:58:46.110
has it and flips to Parker and there you have

00:58:46.110 --> 00:58:48.889
it again Vance keeps it down the Cubs hit ground

00:58:48.889 --> 00:58:51.289
ball and they go out in order and at the end

01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:36.619
stature, it befits him to be there in the high

01:00:36.619 --> 01:00:40.920
rent district. He is seated in Chairman of the

01:00:40.920 --> 01:00:42.880
Board, Walker O'Malley's box and taking in the

01:00:42.880 --> 01:00:46.719
ball game. Where else would a banker sit but

01:00:46.719 --> 01:00:49.739
in the Chairman of the Board's box? Mr. Stengel,

01:00:49.860 --> 01:00:52.820
sir, we are happy to have you with us. Indeed.

01:00:54.679 --> 01:00:56.639
And I hope you'll lower your interest rates.

01:00:57.440 --> 01:01:01.070
Thank you. Two to one Dodgers. One and one, the

01:01:01.070 --> 01:01:03.309
count is Steve Garvey as we salute Casey. The

01:01:03.309 --> 01:01:05.530
left -handed man from Kansas. There's a line

01:01:05.530 --> 01:01:08.429
drive to left center. Ortiz over, makes the running

01:01:08.429 --> 01:01:12.130
catch for the out. So Jose Ortiz handles a line

01:01:12.130 --> 01:01:16.289
drive off the bat of Garvey. One away. That'll

01:01:16.289 --> 01:01:25.210
bring up Bill Russell at center field. Bill Russell

01:01:25.210 --> 01:01:28.309
hit the ball hard, but lined out to Ortiz in

01:01:28.309 --> 01:01:35.300
the third inning. Jose has handle three out there.

01:01:35.599 --> 01:01:37.360
Pulseman ready and delivers and the fastball

01:01:37.360 --> 01:01:39.559
foul back. Good pitch, he jammed him and Russell

01:01:39.559 --> 01:01:47.380
never did get a round on it. 4 -1. The lion arm

01:01:47.380 --> 01:01:50.199
folded at his chest, pacing up and down in the

01:01:50.199 --> 01:01:53.460
cup dugout. Submission number two on his back.

01:01:54.699 --> 01:01:57.119
Strike one pitch to Russell, off speed, long

01:01:57.119 --> 01:01:59.829
on and missed. Strike two. Kenny Holtzman, a

01:01:59.829 --> 01:02:02.570
17 -game winner in each of the last two years.

01:02:03.250 --> 01:02:05.949
The crowd reacting as Martin Crowe sailed over

01:02:05.949 --> 01:02:11.530
Holtzman's head. Oh, and to the count. The Cubs

01:02:11.530 --> 01:02:14.250
have Kenny Holtzman and J .C. Martin, the infield

01:02:14.250 --> 01:02:17.250
of Joel Pepitone and Glenn Becker, Don Kessinger

01:02:17.250 --> 01:02:20.170
and Ron Santo, the outfield of Billy Williams

01:02:20.170 --> 01:02:23.349
in left, Jose Ortiz in center, and Johnny Callison

01:02:23.349 --> 01:02:26.750
in right. Jim Gilliam coaching at first, Denny

01:02:26.750 --> 01:02:30.159
Ozark at third. Spike two pitch, pass ball away.

01:02:30.360 --> 01:02:40.980
Ball one, one and two. Holtzman into the windup

01:02:40.980 --> 01:02:43.079
and the one, two pitch. Breaking ball hit up

01:02:43.079 --> 01:02:45.219
along third base, charging saddle. Bare hand

01:02:45.219 --> 01:02:49.059
pick up, no throw. Russell's too fast for that

01:02:49.059 --> 01:02:56.239
play and gets a leg single. So one of the inequities

01:02:56.239 --> 01:03:00.340
of baseball Where you hit a line drive at somebody

01:03:00.340 --> 01:03:03.099
and then you nub one for a base hit and the ball

01:03:03.099 --> 01:03:05.320
players keep their Sanity as do the managers

01:03:05.320 --> 01:03:08.820
throughout the year by saying it all evens out

01:03:08.820 --> 01:03:13.980
And here is Sandy Vance Vance grounded is short

01:03:13.980 --> 01:03:15.599
in the third inning with the Cubs thinking he'll

01:03:15.599 --> 01:03:17.559
be bunting to stay out of the double play to

01:03:17.559 --> 01:03:20.420
get the speedy Russell in Scoring position and

01:03:20.420 --> 01:03:23.699
leave it up to will we'll see what Sandy does

01:03:23.699 --> 01:03:26.369
postman at the belt Vance bunting, but takes,

01:03:26.469 --> 01:03:29.309
and a pitch outside, and Russell has stolen seconds.

01:03:36.210 --> 01:03:38.349
Kenny Holtzman gesturing to Harvey, didn't he

01:03:38.349 --> 01:03:40.230
try to bunt? And Doug said, no sir, he pulled

01:03:40.230 --> 01:03:43.150
the bat back, he took it. Leo now gestures, didn't

01:03:43.150 --> 01:03:46.030
he bunt? And Gorman shakes his head, no, he pulled

01:03:46.030 --> 01:03:48.550
the bat back. And they count one ball and no

01:03:48.550 --> 01:03:52.900
strikes, and Bill Russell steals second. Russell

01:03:52.900 --> 01:03:55.940
led the club in stolen bases in the spring. That's

01:03:55.940 --> 01:03:59.460
his second steal of the year, two out of three.

01:04:00.739 --> 01:04:04.659
Now Vance up there and the Cubs with a runner

01:04:04.659 --> 01:04:07.079
at second have to come back. They pull Pepitone

01:04:07.079 --> 01:04:10.719
at the bag in the same percent of a third. The

01:04:10.719 --> 01:04:13.880
outfield's shallow and shaded to right. The 1

01:04:13.880 --> 01:04:18.119
-0 pitch to Vance taken for a strike. One and

01:04:18.119 --> 01:04:33.960
one. Vance right hand batter. Polkman at the

01:04:33.960 --> 01:04:36.719
belt. 1 -1 pitch. A fastball hit foul outside

01:04:36.719 --> 01:04:38.800
of first. He was late on it, but almost got away

01:04:38.800 --> 01:04:46.139
with it. It is just off the bag. Vance prior

01:04:46.139 --> 01:04:51.420
to tonight has had 37 at bats in the big leagues

01:04:51.420 --> 01:04:57.460
and seven hits. Two runs batted in. On the count

01:04:57.460 --> 01:05:03.719
one and two. Swing styles another fastballer

01:05:03.719 --> 01:05:06.079
first into the crowd, back of the club dugout.

01:05:06.360 --> 01:05:10.559
One ball and two strikes to count. Gonna be with

01:05:10.559 --> 01:05:12.860
us tomorrow night, I hope so. Bill Singer will

01:05:12.860 --> 01:05:15.900
try to find the strike zone and try to find a

01:05:15.900 --> 01:05:19.840
victory. Opposing him will be Milt Pappas, one

01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:22.920
of the control pitchers in the league, who had

01:05:22.920 --> 01:05:25.699
a shutout his last time out. Here's the one -two

01:05:25.699 --> 01:05:29.239
pitch to Vance, outside and high, ball two. Milt

01:05:29.239 --> 01:05:32.909
Pappas last year. on average two walks a game.

01:05:33.849 --> 01:05:37.269
He was number seven in the rankings in control.

01:05:37.889 --> 01:05:39.929
So we'll see him tomorrow night. And Bill Singer

01:05:39.929 --> 01:05:42.389
opposing him and we hope he can be with us. Here's

01:05:42.389 --> 01:05:44.929
a 2 -2 pitch. Fast ball. Popped in the air. Back

01:05:44.929 --> 01:05:48.550
at third. Sando in foul ground. Waiting now.

01:05:48.670 --> 01:05:51.429
Makes the cast of the hour. So the Dodgers accomplish

01:05:51.429 --> 01:05:53.550
what they had hoped. They got a man over second

01:05:53.550 --> 01:05:55.449
base. Stayed out of the double play and here's

01:05:55.449 --> 01:06:02.550
Will. Moore he struck out in the first inning

01:06:02.550 --> 01:06:06.750
and had a perfect bunch single in the third.

01:06:07.289 --> 01:06:24.369
He's one for two. Holtman leading Martin behind

01:06:24.369 --> 01:06:26.650
the plate. Outfield fanned out straight away.

01:06:26.969 --> 01:06:29.309
Ken delivers in a pitch very high, ball one.

01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:38.679
You never know how they did against each other,

01:06:39.400 --> 01:06:40.800
but you can always look back through the books

01:06:40.800 --> 01:06:43.239
and figure out how Wills did, let's say, against

01:06:43.239 --> 01:06:47.340
Cub Pitching last year, if nothing else. He hits

01:06:47.340 --> 01:06:50.820
a high foul off third, and Sando has a play.

01:06:51.340 --> 01:06:54.179
He's waiting and makes the catch for the out.

01:06:54.539 --> 01:07:00.289
For your information, Wills hits. 346 against

01:07:00.289 --> 01:07:02.670
Chicago last year. No runs ahead, a man left

01:07:02.670 --> 01:07:05.030
at second, and at the end the five. Dodgers two

01:07:05.030 --> 01:07:08.150
comes one. For friends to be good at anything,

01:07:08.269 --> 01:07:10.690
I mean really good, you usually find it takes

01:07:10.690 --> 01:07:13.690
two things. It takes training and spirit. And

01:07:13.690 --> 01:07:15.050
there's a fellow in your neighborhood who has

01:07:15.050 --> 01:07:18.449
the best of both. Your Union 76 certified service

01:07:18.449 --> 01:07:21.550
man. He's a real pro with real professional training.

01:07:21.869 --> 01:07:24.130
Because for each certified service fight he wears

01:07:24.130 --> 01:07:26.940
on his arm... He's had special training at Union

01:07:26.940 --> 01:07:29.679
Certified Service Training School. After six

01:07:29.679 --> 01:07:32.239
weeks of concentrated specialized study for each

01:07:32.239 --> 01:07:34.420
stripe he wears. And that means when you take

01:07:34.420 --> 01:07:36.300
your car to him, he's going to fix it right.

01:07:36.739 --> 01:07:39.420
Look for the stripes he wears. Brakes, wheel

01:07:39.420 --> 01:07:42.119
alignment, tune -ups, air conditioning. If he's

01:07:42.119 --> 01:07:44.619
wearing the stripe, you know he's a pro. And

01:07:44.619 --> 01:07:46.760
he has great spirit, too. He's proud of the job

01:07:46.760 --> 01:07:49.199
he can do, and you can trust him to do it right.

01:07:49.460 --> 01:07:51.739
Because that's what Union Certified Service is

01:07:51.739 --> 01:07:54.820
all about. So the next time your car needs servicing,

01:07:55.000 --> 01:07:58.119
take it to your Union 76 certified serviceman.

01:07:58.300 --> 01:08:01.599
You'll like his spirit. The spirit of 76 lives

01:08:01.599 --> 01:08:11.440
at Union Oil. Don't forget, with this homestand

01:08:11.440 --> 01:08:13.440
coming up, the Cubs tomorrow night, then the

01:08:13.440 --> 01:08:16.609
Cardinals and the Astros. And if you'd like to

01:08:16.609 --> 01:08:18.489
go to the ball game in a group, well the best

01:08:18.489 --> 01:08:21.270
way to do that then is contact group sales. Care

01:08:21.270 --> 01:08:26.010
of the Dodgers, Box 100, Los Angeles 90051. That's

01:08:26.010 --> 01:08:27.989
always a good way to go with a group from your

01:08:27.989 --> 01:08:31.850
church, your office, neighborhood. Whatever,

01:08:32.109 --> 01:08:33.970
we sure hope you'll make Dodger Stadium a place

01:08:33.970 --> 01:08:35.949
to have some fun. And we think the ball club

01:08:35.949 --> 01:08:40.270
is here to provide the fun. So come on out. Open

01:08:40.270 --> 01:08:42.369
for business tomorrow night and every night this

01:08:42.369 --> 01:08:45.199
week. through Sunday. Then the Dodgers will go

01:08:45.199 --> 01:08:47.899
out on the road and they will first stop in San

01:08:47.899 --> 01:08:50.300
Diego and see if that machine has cooled off

01:08:50.300 --> 01:08:54.979
a little bit. While we are away, you might want

01:08:54.979 --> 01:08:56.760
to line up the month of May because the Dodgers

01:08:56.760 --> 01:09:01.039
will be home for quite a bit. And in May, you

01:09:01.039 --> 01:09:03.300
will see the Cincinnati Reds, the Pittsburgh

01:09:03.300 --> 01:09:05.979
Pirates, the Atlanta Braves, the San Francisco

01:09:05.979 --> 01:09:08.300
Giants. In other words, May is going to be something.

01:09:09.750 --> 01:09:11.529
So why not take a look at the schedule, pick

01:09:11.529 --> 01:09:13.829
out the ball games that you'd like to see, and

01:09:13.829 --> 01:09:16.390
drop it to line here at the ballpark. Or pick

01:09:16.390 --> 01:09:18.090
up your tickets at any convenience and dodge

01:09:18.090 --> 01:09:20.310
your ticket off it. Sixth inning, two to one

01:09:20.310 --> 01:09:23.289
dodges, and Glenn Becker takes low ball one,

01:09:23.390 --> 01:09:34.489
one and oh. Now the one oh pitch is the second

01:09:34.489 --> 01:09:39.239
baseman to strike in account one and one. Glenn

01:09:39.239 --> 01:09:42.220
Becker, rounded to short, got the fly ball single

01:09:42.220 --> 01:09:49.239
to right. One -one pitch on the way. Line drive

01:09:49.239 --> 01:09:51.640
to center, Russell coming up and makes the catch

01:09:51.640 --> 01:09:53.600
for the out. That line drive hung and he got

01:09:53.600 --> 01:09:57.840
it out of his chest. One away. Well, Becker can't

01:09:57.840 --> 01:09:59.920
consider himself too unlucky, however, since

01:09:59.920 --> 01:10:02.699
he got the base hit on the pop fly and the run

01:10:02.699 --> 01:10:09.260
batted in. Here's Billy Williams. Billy has popped

01:10:09.260 --> 01:10:20.220
up in single, he's one for two. Vance into the

01:10:20.220 --> 01:10:22.859
windup and delivers. Ground ball, the first base,

01:10:22.859 --> 01:10:25.180
Parker up with it, goes to the bag, two down.

01:10:27.960 --> 01:10:30.819
Well, Sandy Vance has two out in the sixth inning,

01:10:30.880 --> 01:10:33.960
leading two to one. And he was just down right

01:10:33.960 --> 01:10:36.420
on lucky in the third inning on the pop fly to

01:10:36.420 --> 01:10:39.180
sell, He would not have allowed a run. He's allowed

01:10:39.180 --> 01:10:42.460
two hits. Here's Santel, the third baseman, who

01:10:42.460 --> 01:10:44.979
walked and hit into a fourth play. Of course,

01:10:45.039 --> 01:10:47.979
on the other side of the coin about Vance, and

01:10:47.979 --> 01:10:50.039
any pitcher would do this, and certainly a manager

01:10:50.039 --> 01:10:53.359
would remind him of it, he got himself into trouble

01:10:53.359 --> 01:10:55.420
and allowed the only run in the third when he

01:10:55.420 --> 01:10:57.039
walked the number eight hitter in the lineup,

01:10:57.380 --> 01:11:01.680
Patrick Martin. Breaking ball for a strike on

01:11:01.680 --> 01:11:04.609
one. Just as I'm sure Don Sutton would be the

01:11:04.609 --> 01:11:06.810
first to tell you that all of his troubles yesterday

01:11:06.810 --> 01:11:10.250
began when he walked Tommy Dean, the one fellow

01:11:10.250 --> 01:11:11.789
who doesn't figure to hurt you really in the

01:11:11.789 --> 01:11:13.770
San Diego lineup, certainly not on all runs.

01:11:14.430 --> 01:11:17.050
And he walked him and then the sky fell in. Santa

01:11:17.050 --> 01:11:20.149
was fixed inside. He almost jammed himself that

01:11:20.149 --> 01:11:22.989
time. He was guessing on location and he was

01:11:22.989 --> 01:11:34.840
looking for a pitch away. One and one. Vance

01:11:34.840 --> 01:11:37.920
into the windup. Now the 1 -1 pitch on the way

01:11:37.920 --> 01:11:40.159
as the fastball hits foul off to the right of

01:11:40.159 --> 01:11:45.399
the plate and out of play. Head ball kangaroos

01:11:45.399 --> 01:11:48.579
all the way up into the second deck. I told you

01:11:48.579 --> 01:11:50.699
this was a lively ballpark in the count one and

01:11:50.699 --> 01:11:58.380
two. Two down, six innings, Dodgers two, Cubs

01:11:58.380 --> 01:12:02.840
one. Vance has a look that sheds these signs

01:12:02.840 --> 01:12:06.439
behind the plate. Now the 1 -2 pitch to the Cubs

01:12:06.439 --> 01:12:08.720
third baseman is set up along third base foul

01:12:08.720 --> 01:12:11.279
out of play. Good off -season pitch by Vance,

01:12:11.539 --> 01:12:17.319
and it's still 1 -2. There's a thoughtful note

01:12:17.319 --> 01:12:20.300
by the Chicago Cubs. You always hear, of course,

01:12:20.380 --> 01:12:22.239
about all of the fine ballplayers in the big

01:12:22.239 --> 01:12:25.600
leagues who have come from USC. But also UCLA

01:12:25.600 --> 01:12:27.539
is pretty well represented in the big leagues,

01:12:27.560 --> 01:12:30.399
and the Cubs have a brewing on their club. The

01:12:30.399 --> 01:12:33.750
1 -2 pitch to Santo filed away. Seated out in

01:12:33.750 --> 01:12:36.449
the Chicago bullpen is the young right -hander

01:12:36.449 --> 01:12:40.149
by the name of Bill Bonham, B -O -N -H -A -M.

01:12:40.409 --> 01:12:44.710
And knowing he was from UCLA, when they issued

01:12:44.710 --> 01:12:48.210
him his uniform, they gave him uniform number

01:12:48.210 --> 01:12:52.390
33. Now, if you're a college basketball follower

01:12:52.390 --> 01:12:56.670
or a UCLA fan, you know about 33. Change is over!

01:12:56.970 --> 01:12:59.930
Strike three called, and Santo can't believe

01:12:59.930 --> 01:13:03.569
it. And he's caught looking. In case you are

01:13:03.569 --> 01:13:05.890
not a basketball follower, they gave Bonham number

01:13:05.890 --> 01:13:09.270
33 because he's from UCLA. That was the number

01:13:09.270 --> 01:13:12.909
worn at UCLA and now worn in Milwaukee by Louis

01:13:12.909 --> 01:13:15.949
Alcindor. The Cubs are gone and ordered. At the

01:13:15.949 --> 01:13:17.789
end of five and a half, the Dodgers two, the

01:13:17.789 --> 01:13:35.140
Cubs one. was a seafaring man. He used to sail

01:13:35.140 --> 01:13:37.760
these seas like there was no tomorrow. And he

01:13:37.760 --> 01:13:40.819
drank his beer big. Even back then, it was short.

01:13:45.659 --> 01:13:50.359
Hear the philosophy about life, my old man. He'd

01:13:50.359 --> 01:13:52.100
say, you only live once, so you gotta make the

01:13:52.100 --> 01:14:00.380
most of it. Yeah, a lot of that stuck with me.

01:14:00.699 --> 01:14:04.039
You gotta live life. with all the rest over the

01:14:04.039 --> 01:14:07.500
rim. In everything, even the beer you drink.

01:14:08.319 --> 01:14:11.579
Some of the less, you're out of shape. When you're

01:14:11.579 --> 01:14:21.600
out of shit, you're out of beer. Bottom of the

01:14:21.600 --> 01:14:23.659
sixth inning, the Dodgers leading the Cubs 2

01:14:23.659 --> 01:14:28.390
-1. So far, a great performance by Sandy Vance

01:14:28.390 --> 01:14:31.489
and a magnificent change -up for the third call

01:14:31.489 --> 01:14:33.710
strike on Ron Santota in the top of the sixth.

01:14:33.789 --> 01:14:37.489
That was some fix. Here's Moda, grounded out

01:14:37.489 --> 01:14:39.729
twice. Manny is 0 for 2, as usual, going the

01:14:39.729 --> 01:14:41.850
other way. Grounded the second and the first.

01:14:42.210 --> 01:14:47.350
Holtzman breaking ball to site. Might be a little

01:14:47.350 --> 01:14:50.949
tip -off on Sandy Vance in looking at last year.

01:14:51.890 --> 01:14:56.189
He made four stars, four. against the San Francisco

01:14:56.189 --> 01:15:00.550
Giants. Strike one -fifth, fastball high and

01:15:00.550 --> 01:15:05.109
away, one and one. Well, on the message board,

01:15:05.390 --> 01:15:08.489
Dodger Stadium, welcome to one of the nicer human

01:15:08.489 --> 01:15:11.550
beings you'll ever meet. And he is the head coach

01:15:11.550 --> 01:15:14.409
of the Los Angeles Lakers, the pride of the cross,

01:15:14.569 --> 01:15:17.029
Holy Cross, Joe Mulaney. And this is good luck,

01:15:17.170 --> 01:15:19.770
Joe. He is something. The pitch high ball too,

01:15:19.869 --> 01:15:23.789
two and one. I don't know if he remembers We

01:15:23.789 --> 01:15:27.369
went body surfing and saw Rockaway many, many

01:15:27.369 --> 01:15:30.550
years ago. And he's a distinguished coach to

01:15:30.550 --> 01:15:32.750
the Lakers and whatever happened to the redhead.

01:15:34.970 --> 01:15:38.289
There's a 2 -1 pitch to Moda. Fastball slice

01:15:38.289 --> 01:15:40.270
to right field, but that's where Callison hangs

01:15:40.270 --> 01:15:47.630
out and John makes the catch. Wally. Wes Parker

01:15:47.630 --> 01:15:51.750
lined out to Glenn Beckert and lined out to Ortiz

01:15:51.750 --> 01:15:57.500
in center field. Parker, more than any other

01:15:57.500 --> 01:16:00.680
Dodgers, has really hit in tough luck. Most of

01:16:00.680 --> 01:16:03.279
the others have just not done too well. And meanwhile,

01:16:03.359 --> 01:16:04.960
while I'm saying that, he came into this game

01:16:04.960 --> 01:16:07.420
hitting 304, but he could be hitting close to

01:16:07.420 --> 01:16:12.279
500. Pitch outside, ball one. He has hit a bucket

01:16:12.279 --> 01:16:13.960
full of line drives that have been caught at

01:16:13.960 --> 01:16:19.840
people. He's 7 for 23. He could, really, he could

01:16:19.840 --> 01:16:23.859
be 12 for 23. Pitch over for a strike, one and

01:16:23.859 --> 01:16:31.420
one. On deck, Richie Allen. One out on the sixth,

01:16:31.659 --> 01:16:35.800
Dodgers two, Cubs one. Polkman and Vance, Lamar

01:16:35.800 --> 01:16:39.180
Knight, Singer, and Cabot. One -one -fifth. Line

01:16:39.180 --> 01:16:42.159
drive, base hit. So Parker finally hits it where

01:16:42.159 --> 01:16:45.579
they don't put a player. Single up the middle.

01:16:46.680 --> 01:16:48.800
And here's Richie Allen, and that'll take a month.

01:16:55.380 --> 01:16:58.960
Richie Allen does not, does not... consider himself

01:16:58.960 --> 01:17:01.880
a home run hitter. He did not consider himself

01:17:01.880 --> 01:17:05.000
the type of a hitter, let's say a Willie McCovey,

01:17:05.239 --> 01:17:08.100
or a Willie Mays, or a Henry Aaron. He figures

01:17:08.100 --> 01:17:10.880
he is more of a line drive type hitter. But as

01:17:10.880 --> 01:17:14.600
we said, he has averaged a lot with the pitchers.

01:17:16.060 --> 01:17:18.699
It might be one of the longest, hardest home

01:17:18.699 --> 01:17:25.119
runs we have ever seen. Here's a strike one pitch

01:17:25.119 --> 01:17:28.220
to Rich. A little high, one and one. In the old

01:17:28.220 --> 01:17:30.500
ballpark at Connie Mack Stadium at the base of

01:17:30.500 --> 01:17:33.359
the center field wall it was 447. Then there

01:17:33.359 --> 01:17:35.460
was quite a bit of real estate behind the fence.

01:17:35.779 --> 01:17:38.460
And the double deck stands ran out to a direct

01:17:38.460 --> 01:17:41.020
point in straightaway centers. And Allen had

01:17:41.020 --> 01:17:43.899
a line drive that went halfway up the second

01:17:43.899 --> 01:17:47.119
deck in straightaway centers. It was as if it

01:17:47.119 --> 01:17:50.439
was truly shot out of a gun. The 1 -1 fastball

01:17:50.439 --> 01:17:52.920
is popped in the air in the right field. Callison

01:17:52.920 --> 01:17:55.359
has time to get under it because it's so high.

01:17:55.739 --> 01:18:00.390
Makes the catch for the odds. Two down, and Bill

01:18:00.390 --> 01:18:03.670
Sudeikis to bat it. Shudsey twice has rounded

01:18:03.670 --> 01:18:06.550
a Kessinger. He has hit the ball hard, but Kessinger

01:18:06.550 --> 01:18:22.250
makes him look easy. The Dodgers are hoping that

01:18:22.250 --> 01:18:26.420
tonight they will celebrate an anniversary. One

01:18:26.420 --> 01:18:29.220
year ago, the Dodgers snapped their five -game

01:18:29.220 --> 01:18:32.300
losing streak. They won three straight and seven

01:18:32.300 --> 01:18:34.539
out of ten, and the club is hoping to get off

01:18:34.539 --> 01:18:37.619
on the right foot tonight. Fastball, first strike,

01:18:37.760 --> 01:18:42.659
going on. Of course, this is a very different

01:18:42.659 --> 01:18:46.420
year. Last year, the Reds could not be beaten.

01:18:47.600 --> 01:18:50.439
This year, they finally won their first game

01:18:50.439 --> 01:18:54.149
today. Strike one pitch to Sudeikis, breaking

01:18:54.149 --> 01:18:58.550
ball, one out and a miss, strike two. However,

01:18:58.750 --> 01:19:01.689
Cincinnati, by winning their first game, knocked

01:19:01.689 --> 01:19:04.390
off a hot Atlanta club. The Graves had won four

01:19:04.390 --> 01:19:10.130
out of five. Houston climbs in the first place

01:19:10.130 --> 01:19:12.149
in the giant right back of them. And boy, I tell

01:19:12.149 --> 01:19:14.949
you, the Houston ball club, look out, strike

01:19:14.949 --> 01:19:17.850
two pitch. In the dirt, bounces off to the right.

01:19:18.090 --> 01:19:20.909
Parker hesitates. Now goes Martin's flow. It's

01:19:20.909 --> 01:19:28.130
not in time. Fastball guards to Martin. And check

01:19:28.130 --> 01:19:31.149
me on the score. Houston lost. So that noise

01:19:31.149 --> 01:19:34.810
comes from moving day up north. The Giants won.

01:19:35.270 --> 01:19:37.609
And Atlanta and Houston lost. So the Giants have

01:19:37.609 --> 01:19:39.689
moved into first place. Excuse me in the Bay

01:19:39.689 --> 01:19:47.380
Area. The Cardinals. Won their ballgame. They're

01:19:47.380 --> 01:19:49.680
at the 500 mark and they'll be in here Wednesday

01:19:49.680 --> 01:19:58.340
night. 1 -2 pitch to Sudeikis. Check swing and

01:19:58.340 --> 01:20:01.659
Martin does a little umpiring and he loses this

01:20:01.659 --> 01:20:05.539
ball too. J .C. tags Sudeikis. World on the RV

01:20:05.539 --> 01:20:08.899
who pointed to Dale and Jerry Dale flashed no.

01:20:08.960 --> 01:20:13.199
He didn't swing and it counted two and two. And

01:20:13.199 --> 01:20:15.640
I'm sure Doug Harvey leans over and says, J .C.,

01:20:15.640 --> 01:20:18.979
we are indebted to you for all of your help and

01:20:18.979 --> 01:20:22.239
consideration and interest, but we'll call them.

01:20:25.479 --> 01:20:28.779
Two two -fifths to Sudeikis. In five, all three

01:20:28.779 --> 01:20:38.510
to Bill. Four count to Bill Sudeikis. Parker

01:20:38.510 --> 01:20:40.529
at second with two outs. The Dodgers had Russell

01:20:40.529 --> 01:20:42.130
at second with two outs, but he couldn't get

01:20:42.130 --> 01:20:53.670
them over in the fifth inning. Three -two pitch

01:20:53.670 --> 01:20:56.329
to Bill. Found away, and he got that little on

01:20:56.329 --> 01:21:17.060
the foot. Still three and two. Three and two,

01:21:17.159 --> 01:21:21.220
the count to Bill Sudeikis. Parker, second. Holtzman

01:21:21.220 --> 01:21:24.199
-Ruddy with two out, and work five. All four,

01:21:24.220 --> 01:21:38.060
and that brings up Jimmy LaFeder. Jimmy LaFeder,

01:21:38.340 --> 01:21:50.159
twice, rounded his shortstop. He's 0 for 2. So

01:21:50.159 --> 01:21:52.600
Jenny gets a start tonight, get a right -handed

01:21:52.600 --> 01:21:54.779
bat in there and rest Willie Davis against the

01:21:54.779 --> 01:21:56.899
left -handers. Fastball is hit down the right

01:21:56.899 --> 01:21:58.939
-field line. Taliesin is not going to get it.

01:21:59.060 --> 01:22:02.279
It's in the corner and bouncing against the railing.

01:22:02.800 --> 01:22:06.260
In comes Flacker. Here to the plate and scoring

01:22:06.260 --> 01:22:27.470
is the Dakers on a triple by the Feaver. Triples

01:22:27.470 --> 01:22:30.109
into the right field corner. The Dodgers lead

01:22:30.109 --> 01:22:33.529
4 -1 and the storm signals are up and so is the

01:22:33.529 --> 01:22:37.130
Chicago Bullpen. And Steve Garvey will be the

01:22:37.130 --> 01:22:45.289
batter with two outs. The Dodgers in the dugout

01:22:45.289 --> 01:22:48.569
will know how much cheering Lafever has done

01:22:48.569 --> 01:22:51.090
for them. Boy today holler up to him when he

01:22:51.090 --> 01:22:55.130
got to third base. Here's Garvey. He checks and

01:22:55.130 --> 01:23:01.170
fouls one away on one. Jim Colburn, a right -hander,

01:23:02.750 --> 01:23:06.109
along with a left -hander in the Chicago bullpen.

01:23:09.550 --> 01:23:13.390
Receiver down the line from third. Holtzman checking

01:23:13.390 --> 01:23:15.590
and Garvey waiting, and Holtzman off the rubbers.

01:23:19.740 --> 01:23:22.000
10 into the wind oven, the strike one -fifth,

01:23:22.039 --> 01:23:24.119
breaking ball hit to the left of Kessinger, but

01:23:24.119 --> 01:23:26.939
he eats it up. Goes across to Pepitone, the inning

01:23:26.939 --> 01:23:29.760
is over. But not before Lefebvre triples home

01:23:29.760 --> 01:23:32.939
two. So the Dodgers two runs, two hits, a man

01:23:32.939 --> 01:23:35.699
left. And at the end of sixth, the Dodgers four,

01:23:36.039 --> 01:23:38.899
Tubbs one. Friends of Farmer John, I'm going

01:23:38.899 --> 01:23:40.979
to give you a play -by -play report on his sausage.

01:23:41.159 --> 01:23:43.199
He started off with his freshness. After all,

01:23:43.460 --> 01:23:45.880
freshness is what you want most in sausage, and

01:23:45.880 --> 01:23:47.819
is what you're sure to get when the label says

01:23:47.819 --> 01:23:50.489
Farmer John. The good farmer brings fresh eastern

01:23:50.489 --> 01:23:53.369
corn -fed pork out here live, and it's U .S.

01:23:53.649 --> 01:23:55.310
inspected and dressed fresh right here in the

01:23:55.310 --> 01:23:57.550
West. Well, that's why Farmer John's sausage

01:23:57.550 --> 01:24:00.489
is a nice, rosy, fresh hue. Doesn't look gray

01:24:00.489 --> 01:24:02.829
like sausage chipped in toast in her whole story.

01:24:03.369 --> 01:24:05.750
Of course, the fabulous Western flavor of Farmer

01:24:05.750 --> 01:24:08.310
John's sausage speaks for itself. Farmer John

01:24:08.310 --> 01:24:10.970
makes his sausage to an old -time Western recipe,

01:24:11.210 --> 01:24:14.289
using only natural herbs and spices, and he grinds,

01:24:14.350 --> 01:24:16.750
mixes, and measures them himself. so his sausage

01:24:16.750 --> 01:24:20.149
is never over or under seasoned like some. Lean,

01:24:20.250 --> 01:24:23.229
meaty Parmesan sausage makes the West best breakfast

01:24:23.229 --> 01:24:25.890
and a hearty, awesome supper, too. It's the sausage

01:24:25.890 --> 01:24:28.270
that won the gold medal at the California State

01:24:28.270 --> 01:24:31.689
Fair. So enjoy Parmesan sausage often for the

01:24:31.689 --> 01:24:33.909
East and most in quality and the West and most

01:24:33.909 --> 01:24:38.569
in flavor. Don't forget, for the rest of the

01:24:38.569 --> 01:24:40.989
week, the Chicago Cubs tomorrow night, Bill Singer

01:24:40.989 --> 01:24:43.569
and Milt Pappas. Then the St. Louis Cardinals

01:24:43.569 --> 01:24:46.350
will be in. Wednesday night and Thursday night,

01:24:46.350 --> 01:24:48.489
Orlando Cepeda, Lou Brock, and that colorful

01:24:48.489 --> 01:24:51.590
gang. Over the weekend, the Houston Astros. Friday

01:24:51.590 --> 01:24:54.789
night is team night. Saturday night at 7 p .m.,

01:24:54.789 --> 01:24:57.390
ladies night. Sunday afternoon, autograph day

01:24:57.390 --> 01:25:00.710
and senior citizens day. If you drop by. Let's

01:25:00.710 --> 01:25:03.029
go to the seventh. Four to one Dodgers, and for

01:25:03.029 --> 01:25:05.369
more play, here's Jerry. All right, buddy, Pepitone,

01:25:05.510 --> 01:25:07.909
Cowlick, and Ortiz coming on. In the seventh,

01:25:08.010 --> 01:25:10.109
they can stand defense. This yield is just two

01:25:10.109 --> 01:25:12.949
hits. Pop flies in the third back -to -back by

01:25:12.949 --> 01:25:14.770
Becker and Williams, one in the right field and

01:25:14.770 --> 01:25:18.050
one in the center. So Sandy now working to Capitone,

01:25:18.189 --> 01:25:19.810
left -hand hitter up there. The pitch on the

01:25:19.810 --> 01:25:22.109
way, fly ball along the left -field line, it's

01:25:22.109 --> 01:25:25.170
going foul and out of play. Bounces up into the

01:25:25.170 --> 01:25:28.949
stands and it is strike one. So Vance now has

01:25:28.949 --> 01:25:31.090
a little breathing room as the favors couple

01:25:31.090 --> 01:25:39.979
to the right field. He gets two runs in. Strike

01:25:39.979 --> 01:25:43.979
one count, Pepitone waiting. Now the wind -up

01:25:43.979 --> 01:25:46.159
again on the pitch on the way, off -speed roll.

01:25:46.800 --> 01:25:49.420
Change -up in the dirt. One ball, one strike.

01:25:51.119 --> 01:25:52.819
Right -hander to left -hander, working in the

01:25:52.819 --> 01:25:55.819
cup bullpen out in right field. Tomorrow night,

01:25:55.920 --> 01:25:57.779
it'll be Pappas and Singer in the second game

01:25:57.779 --> 01:26:01.260
of the series. Pepitone backs out as another

01:26:01.260 --> 01:26:04.560
of the third base coach, Peanut Lowry. Lowry

01:26:04.560 --> 01:26:06.840
hit his head down with digging dirt along the

01:26:06.840 --> 01:26:11.210
spike, along the truck line. Fastball low, ball

01:26:11.210 --> 01:26:16.710
two, two and one. Vandy Vance, who pitched part

01:26:16.710 --> 01:26:19.970
of the year here and part at Spokane last year.

01:26:21.529 --> 01:26:23.109
Vandy's trying to get off to a good start here

01:26:23.109 --> 01:26:25.250
this year. He had a bad start in spring training.

01:26:26.189 --> 01:26:28.770
He was hurt the first day out. Playing catch,

01:26:28.869 --> 01:26:31.010
he caught one. He failed to catch one. The ball

01:26:31.010 --> 01:26:33.670
hit him in the mouth and lost two teeth. Two

01:26:33.670 --> 01:26:36.329
-one pitch, outside low for ball three and one.

01:26:37.270 --> 01:26:40.100
Then he had a sore arm. He finally did get a

01:26:40.100 --> 01:26:45.960
chance to pitch and has done well ever since.

01:26:46.000 --> 01:26:53.420
The band's waiting. 3 -1 pitch. Line up and down

01:26:53.420 --> 01:26:56.319
it comes. Too low and he walks in. That's the

01:26:56.319 --> 01:26:58.399
third walk and each time that he's walked about

01:26:58.399 --> 01:27:01.020
it's been the lead off an inning. Saddle in the

01:27:01.020 --> 01:27:03.359
second. Martin in the third and he's scored and

01:27:03.359 --> 01:27:07.289
now Pepitone here in the seventh inning. So three

01:27:07.289 --> 01:27:10.590
walks and here's Johnny Callison at bat. Rounded

01:27:10.590 --> 01:27:12.350
into a fourth play and butted and was thrown

01:27:12.350 --> 01:27:16.289
out by Steve Garvey. One on, nobody out in the

01:27:16.289 --> 01:27:18.630
seventh. They get somebody up in the bullpen

01:27:18.630 --> 01:27:20.590
to the Dodgers. Looks like Jim Brewer will start

01:27:20.590 --> 01:27:27.590
the fill. Callison waiting. Cortez on deck and

01:27:27.590 --> 01:27:30.569
Martin to follow. Vance with a pitch pull and

01:27:30.569 --> 01:27:32.590
a fly ball to left field. Allen was right there

01:27:32.590 --> 01:27:35.399
backing up a few steps. Ritchie waiting. Pass

01:27:35.399 --> 01:27:37.479
it to the out. It's one away. So Callison goes

01:27:37.479 --> 01:27:40.439
to left field with a fly ball. One out. And we'll

01:27:40.439 --> 01:27:45.199
see about Artees now. Jose Artees playing in

01:27:45.199 --> 01:27:48.319
center field and he's hitting 444. He's had a

01:27:48.319 --> 01:27:51.619
good start. Eight hits and 18 trips. Chance to

01:27:51.619 --> 01:27:54.720
play. He came to the cubs from the white side.

01:27:56.880 --> 01:28:04.479
Very speedy, playing in center field. Got your

01:28:04.479 --> 01:28:08.039
J .C. Martin out on deck. And then we'll see

01:28:08.039 --> 01:28:11.439
about Holtzman's spot. One out and one on. Tapatona's

01:28:11.439 --> 01:28:14.140
first base. Barker will not hold him on. Right

01:28:14.140 --> 01:28:17.460
-hand batter up there. And Vance now getting

01:28:17.460 --> 01:28:23.439
set to work. Now Vance goes off. Back to the

01:28:23.439 --> 01:28:34.609
rosin bag. Check on the runner. Vance delivers

01:28:34.609 --> 01:28:37.149
to the plate, pass ball backhanded by Sudeikis.

01:28:37.449 --> 01:28:43.189
One ball, no strike. Vance made his professional

01:28:43.189 --> 01:28:46.970
debut in 1968 at Ogden, and he was promoted to

01:28:46.970 --> 01:28:50.109
Spokane for a couple of games. He was at Spokane

01:28:50.109 --> 01:28:54.590
all of 1969 in 22 games. He had a 6 -6 record.

01:28:55.250 --> 01:28:57.329
And last year at Spokane he won five, lost four,

01:28:57.350 --> 01:29:00.260
and he was 7 -7 in the big league. Pitches in

01:29:00.260 --> 01:29:02.199
for a strike, Ortiz around as if it's not letting

01:29:02.199 --> 01:29:04.279
go by one -on -one. Kind of make him work a little

01:29:04.279 --> 01:29:07.039
bit. Vance working in the top of the seventh

01:29:07.039 --> 01:29:13.979
inning. Sandy, last year, in 18 starts, had two

01:29:13.979 --> 01:29:17.279
complete games. He worked 115 innings in the

01:29:17.279 --> 01:29:20.359
big leagues last year. The drive to left field,

01:29:20.359 --> 01:29:22.220
well hit. Allen going back for this one. It's

01:29:22.220 --> 01:29:24.579
going to be over his head. And one hop against

01:29:24.579 --> 01:29:27.260
the bullpen gate. Here's Capitonus third. The

01:29:27.260 --> 01:29:29.659
relay comes to Wills. Coming for the plate now,

01:29:30.020 --> 01:29:33.920
and Tepesaw is safe. A long go by Archie's over

01:29:33.920 --> 01:29:38.000
Allentown in left field. The whole day Archie's,

01:29:38.060 --> 01:29:40.979
the little center fielder, bang one, one hop

01:29:40.979 --> 01:29:43.720
against the bullpen gate in left field. That

01:29:43.720 --> 01:29:46.140
gets a run in. That's the second run for the

01:29:46.140 --> 01:29:49.319
score after a walk. It is four to two in favor

01:29:49.319 --> 01:29:51.539
of the Dodgers, and the catcher J .C. Martin

01:29:51.539 --> 01:29:54.359
coming up against Vance. We'll pause for station

01:29:54.359 --> 01:29:57.180
identification. This is the Los Angeles Dodgers

01:29:57.180 --> 01:30:02.960
radio network. Love thy neighbor. An easy thing

01:30:02.960 --> 01:30:07.220
to say. A hard thing to do. Because there are

01:30:07.220 --> 01:30:10.220
so many of them. And at our rate of population

01:30:10.220 --> 01:30:12.000
growth, soon there will be too many of them.

01:30:12.279 --> 01:30:15.520
This is KTAR radio, Phoenix, Arizona. ...from

01:30:15.520 --> 01:30:18.680
a long double to deep left field. Fans ready

01:30:18.680 --> 01:30:21.119
to pitch to Martin. Pass ball low. One ball no

01:30:21.119 --> 01:30:24.220
strikes. Four to two. In favor of the Dodgers.

01:30:24.620 --> 01:30:27.060
Vance has walked three, two of them have scored.

01:30:27.500 --> 01:30:29.699
Wills calls time, comes in now to talk to Vance

01:30:29.699 --> 01:30:32.899
at the mound. He'll keep an eye on Vance now.

01:30:32.939 --> 01:30:35.020
As I told you earlier, he's gone only five innings

01:30:35.020 --> 01:30:38.199
at the most all spring. So now we're in the seventh

01:30:38.199 --> 01:30:41.140
inning and he's given up a walk, a fly ball out

01:30:41.140 --> 01:30:45.239
and a long double by Ortiz. 1 -0 count, Martin

01:30:45.239 --> 01:30:48.279
waits. Here's the look in the pitch. Foul, straight

01:30:48.279 --> 01:30:51.340
back, strike one, 1 -1. Holtzman is out on deck.

01:30:52.180 --> 01:30:54.520
The Cubs have action in the bullpen. If Martin

01:30:54.520 --> 01:30:57.319
gets on, the odds are that Leo will send up a

01:30:57.319 --> 01:31:01.720
hitter for Kenny Holtzman. Four to two Dodgers

01:31:01.720 --> 01:31:04.300
lead it. Now the margin is the triple hit by

01:31:04.300 --> 01:31:07.020
Jimmy LaFever's drive -in Parker and Sudeikis

01:31:07.020 --> 01:31:10.619
in the bottom of the sixth inning. One ball,

01:31:10.699 --> 01:31:14.039
one strike. Vance with a look back at the runner.

01:31:14.560 --> 01:31:16.899
Pitch to Martin as a strike on a fastball, drilled

01:31:16.899 --> 01:31:28.180
in there, and it is one and two. One ball, two

01:31:28.180 --> 01:31:33.979
strikes. Waiting is Martin, he's the catcher.

01:31:34.119 --> 01:31:38.340
In for Randy Humbly. Vance ready again, looks

01:31:38.340 --> 01:31:41.439
and delivers. Popped up foul, off behind the

01:31:41.439 --> 01:31:43.100
plate. Cadega's coming back for it, it's going

01:31:43.100 --> 01:31:47.100
to be caught by Cadega. Right against the backstop.

01:31:47.880 --> 01:31:49.640
The opponent came all the way to the backstop

01:31:49.640 --> 01:31:52.180
screen to handle that one. Good play for Cadega.

01:31:53.220 --> 01:31:56.899
Two down now, we'll see about Holtzman. Looks

01:31:56.899 --> 01:32:00.340
like Jim Hickman is gonna hit for him. So Holtzman

01:32:00.340 --> 01:32:02.079
will leave and Hickman will come on as the pinch

01:32:02.079 --> 01:32:06.300
hitter. So for Kenny Holtzman, he worked six

01:32:06.300 --> 01:32:09.939
innings, allowed four runs, six hits, walked

01:32:09.939 --> 01:32:11.760
one, struck out one, and that was a considerable

01:32:11.760 --> 01:32:14.300
improvement over Holtzman's first outing when

01:32:14.300 --> 01:32:16.220
he worked four and two third innings and walked

01:32:16.220 --> 01:32:20.659
seven and gave up six hits and six runs. So here's

01:32:20.659 --> 01:32:22.640
Jim Hickman at bat. And boy, Hickman had a great

01:32:22.640 --> 01:32:26.840
year last year for Chicago. He had perhaps his

01:32:26.840 --> 01:32:38.640
best year ever. Hickman last year hit 32 home

01:32:38.640 --> 01:32:44.979
runs, 115 runs batted, and he hit 315. So here's

01:32:44.979 --> 01:32:49.640
Jim Hickman at bat. And Vance working with two

01:32:49.640 --> 01:32:53.739
outs. Fastball is inside, ball one on deck. Don

01:32:53.739 --> 01:32:56.960
Kessinger, the leadoff man. Four to two. The

01:32:56.960 --> 01:33:01.100
Dodgers lead the Cubs. And Sandy Vance trying

01:33:01.100 --> 01:33:05.920
to hold them back. Hickman last year played 149

01:33:05.920 --> 01:33:10.000
games. He's played in just two games so far this

01:33:10.000 --> 01:33:13.560
year, and he is 0 -4. Strike on a fastball, one

01:33:13.560 --> 01:33:16.979
on one. The Cubs are experimenting at the moment.

01:33:18.010 --> 01:33:21.170
They have Pepitone at first, and Ortiz in center

01:33:21.170 --> 01:33:23.590
field. Hickman can play first base or the outfield,

01:33:23.689 --> 01:33:26.930
and so can Pepitone. But right now, Leo's taking

01:33:26.930 --> 01:33:29.270
a look at Ortiz, and he's making a great impression.

01:33:29.869 --> 01:33:41.270
He's now had nine hits. He's played in just two

01:33:41.270 --> 01:33:44.729
games so far this year, and he is 0 for 4. Strike

01:33:44.729 --> 01:33:48.489
on a fastball, 1 -1. The Cubs are experimenting

01:33:48.489 --> 01:33:52.409
at the moment. They have Pepitone at first, and

01:33:52.409 --> 01:33:54.670
Ortiz in center field. Hickman can play first

01:33:54.670 --> 01:33:57.909
base or the outfield, and so can Pepitone. But

01:33:57.909 --> 01:33:59.909
right now, Leo's taking a look at Ortiz, and

01:33:59.909 --> 01:34:02.529
he's making a great impression. He's now had

01:34:02.529 --> 01:34:08.689
nine hits in 21 and back. 1 -1 count to Hickman.

01:34:09.090 --> 01:34:11.489
The van's waiting, and the pitch on the way.

01:34:11.649 --> 01:34:16.700
Curve low, and it's ball two, two and one. Hickman

01:34:16.700 --> 01:34:19.800
32 home runs last year and 21 the year before.

01:34:20.300 --> 01:34:22.119
Hickman almost quit professional baseball when

01:34:22.119 --> 01:34:24.520
he traded from the Dodgers to the Cubs and then

01:34:24.520 --> 01:34:26.479
was farmed out immediately to the minor league.

01:34:27.500 --> 01:34:30.000
He decided he's going to hang it up and he thought

01:34:30.000 --> 01:34:32.600
well maybe a try once more and he came back and

01:34:32.600 --> 01:34:33.939
played with the Cubs and he's had some great

01:34:33.939 --> 01:34:37.939
years with them. 2 -1 count. Now the look again.

01:34:38.340 --> 01:34:47.229
Vance backs off. Turn one to Jim Hickman, number

01:34:47.229 --> 01:34:51.369
28. Vance again with a sign. The look and the

01:34:51.369 --> 01:34:55.050
pitch. In tight, ball free. Three and one. So

01:34:55.050 --> 01:34:58.569
Vance now is in trouble. He has walked one, yielded

01:34:58.569 --> 01:35:01.310
a double, has two outs, and now Sudeikis and

01:35:01.310 --> 01:35:03.569
Wills both come to the mound to talk to Vance.

01:35:03.930 --> 01:35:07.949
On deck, Don Kessinger. Somebody goes to the

01:35:07.949 --> 01:35:18.560
phone to talk to the bullpen. All right, Hickman

01:35:18.560 --> 01:35:21.020
awaiting three and one. Two outs. Runner at second

01:35:21.020 --> 01:35:27.659
base. Four to two. Dodgers lead the Cubs. Now

01:35:27.659 --> 01:35:31.739
the three -one pitch. Curve lowly. Walking. That

01:35:31.739 --> 01:35:33.920
puts Jim in on base and brings up the leadoff

01:35:33.920 --> 01:35:37.560
batter, Don Kessinger. And here comes Alston

01:35:37.560 --> 01:35:40.819
to the mound. Kessinger coming up. Stops as he

01:35:40.819 --> 01:35:43.060
sees Alston go up. That's the fourth walk given

01:35:43.060 --> 01:35:47.489
up by Sandy Vance. And we'll see whether Alston's

01:35:47.489 --> 01:35:49.310
going to make a change here now on the seventh

01:35:49.310 --> 01:35:51.729
inning. Vance has pitched well, but he might

01:35:51.729 --> 01:35:53.569
be getting a little tired. He's only worked five

01:35:53.569 --> 01:35:56.289
innings with the longest spin all year. He's

01:35:56.289 --> 01:35:58.390
now in the seventh inning with two outs. And

01:35:58.390 --> 01:35:59.670
here in the last couple of innings, he's made

01:35:59.670 --> 01:36:01.369
a lot of pitches in this inning, not last inning.

01:36:01.369 --> 01:36:04.789
He got a one, two, three. So they switch hitter

01:36:04.789 --> 01:36:10.750
coming up. Alston now will elect the... See whether

01:36:10.750 --> 01:36:13.689
he wants to go with Brewer against Kessinger,

01:36:13.689 --> 01:36:15.899
batting right -handed, or stay with Vance. And

01:36:15.899 --> 01:36:17.420
it looks like he's going to go to the bullpen

01:36:17.420 --> 01:36:20.300
and bring in Brewer. He's looking out that way

01:36:20.300 --> 01:36:23.800
now as the second base umpire, Tom Gorman, comes

01:36:23.800 --> 01:36:26.619
in to join the conversation at the mound. Third

01:36:26.619 --> 01:36:28.539
base umpire, Thomas Kudus, is out in left field

01:36:28.539 --> 01:36:32.180
and they're going to bring in Brewer. So Sandy

01:36:32.180 --> 01:36:34.539
Vance gave it his best shot and will leave here

01:36:34.539 --> 01:36:37.359
in the seventh and he was two out, two on, a

01:36:37.359 --> 01:36:40.100
run in, and he leads by two. He cannot lose.

01:36:40.100 --> 01:36:43.039
He can win if Brewer can hold him. So Brewer

01:36:43.039 --> 01:36:45.659
now... the motor disc in the bullpen in left

01:36:45.659 --> 01:36:53.500
field, and Vance will leave. For Brewer, he'll

01:36:53.500 --> 01:36:57.340
be making his first appearance of the year. So

01:36:57.340 --> 01:36:59.180
here's Brewer coming in now, and the total's

01:36:59.180 --> 01:37:01.420
on Vance. We'll have to leave the door open.

01:37:01.939 --> 01:37:05.619
He worked six and two -third innings. He lost

01:37:05.619 --> 01:37:10.149
just three hits. Two pop fly singles and a booming

01:37:10.149 --> 01:37:12.449
double. He walked four, he struck out three.

01:37:12.470 --> 01:37:15.329
He has allowed two runs and has two men on base

01:37:15.329 --> 01:37:17.289
that are his responsibility. As Brewer comes

01:37:17.289 --> 01:37:20.729
in now. While Brewer comes in, a reminder, a

01:37:20.729 --> 01:37:22.890
date to remember, in fact, three of them. Helmet

01:37:22.890 --> 01:37:25.550
Weekend at Dodger Stadium, May 28th, 29th, and

01:37:25.550 --> 01:37:28.149
30th. Free helmets to every youngster at these

01:37:28.149 --> 01:37:30.890
three games. Why not order tickets now? Send

01:37:30.890 --> 01:37:34.050
orders to Helmet Weekend at Dodger's. Box 100,

01:37:34.109 --> 01:37:37.859
Los Angeles 9 -00 -51. That's the May 28th put

01:37:37.859 --> 01:37:40.859
at anchor 30. A round of applause for Candy Bancroft

01:37:40.859 --> 01:37:43.720
who goes strolling off the mound. He sits well.

01:37:53.979 --> 01:37:55.859
Another note, the Dodgers are lining up a great

01:37:55.859 --> 01:37:58.819
cast for their first Old Timers day. That game

01:37:58.819 --> 01:38:01.920
will be on Sunday, June the 6th. Already listed

01:38:01.920 --> 01:38:04.439
our former Dodgers to be honored, Duke Snyder,

01:38:04.640 --> 01:38:07.020
Don Newcomb, Wally Moon, and today Dixie Walker.

01:38:07.600 --> 01:38:09.600
There will be many, many more, so jot down the

01:38:09.600 --> 01:38:12.100
date, old -timer's date, Sunday, June 6th, when

01:38:12.100 --> 01:38:17.000
Gil Hyges and the Mets are in town. Checking

01:38:17.000 --> 01:38:22.020
the scores. Pittsburgh over Philadelphia, 4 -3.

01:38:23.180 --> 01:38:25.760
Justy the winner, Selma the loser, 111 innings.

01:38:26.119 --> 01:38:28.420
Cincinnati beat Atlanta, 7 -3. McLaughlin the

01:38:28.420 --> 01:38:31.600
winner. Reed the loser, Bench had two home runs,

01:38:31.760 --> 01:38:33.739
McLaughlin and Rose each had one, and Cepeda

01:38:33.739 --> 01:38:37.920
had one for Atlanta. St. Louis 5, Houston 4,

01:38:38.319 --> 01:38:40.659
had Carlton, won his second game, beating Glassen

01:38:40.659 --> 01:38:47.439
game. The Giants beat San Diego 5 to nothing,

01:38:47.720 --> 01:38:49.680
Perry all the way with a free -hitter, beat Kirby.

01:38:51.180 --> 01:38:53.079
The American League, Angel Creek, Chicago 3 to

01:38:53.079 --> 01:38:55.479
2, Oklahoma, Milwaukee 5 to nothing, Kansas City

01:38:55.479 --> 01:38:57.750
and Minnesota 2 to nothing, Minnesota. Boston

01:38:57.750 --> 01:39:03.189
beat Washington 10 -7. Now, Jim Brewer, ready

01:39:03.189 --> 01:39:05.270
to go to work, making his first appearance of

01:39:05.270 --> 01:39:08.850
the year. Brewer pitching to Don Kessler, who

01:39:08.850 --> 01:39:11.449
turns around out of back on the right side. Two

01:39:11.449 --> 01:39:15.989
on, two out, and Brewer ready to work. Pitch

01:39:15.989 --> 01:39:18.810
on away, pops up in the center field. Out goes

01:39:18.810 --> 01:39:20.930
the favor, in comes Russell, Billy loses, cap

01:39:20.930 --> 01:39:23.189
falls, makes the cut, and the inning is over.

01:39:23.310 --> 01:39:25.810
So Brewer comes in, makes one pitch, and gets

01:39:25.810 --> 01:39:31.199
the side out. One run. On one hit, two laps,

01:39:31.300 --> 01:39:33.300
and the score at the end of six and a half minutes

01:39:33.300 --> 01:39:36.560
of play, Dodgers four, the Cubs have two. Love

01:39:36.560 --> 01:39:41.100
thy neighbor. An easy thing to say. A hard thing

01:39:41.100 --> 01:39:45.039
to do. Because there are so many of them. And

01:39:45.039 --> 01:39:46.880
at our rate of population growth, soon there

01:39:46.880 --> 01:39:50.659
will be too many of them. Too many to feed, so

01:39:50.659 --> 01:39:54.199
we'll starve. Too many to keep healthy, so we'll

01:39:54.199 --> 01:39:57.819
have plague. Too many to house, so we won't.

01:39:58.159 --> 01:40:00.840
Too many to love, so we'll hate our neighbor

01:40:00.840 --> 01:40:03.399
and we'll have wars without end. Because just

01:40:03.399 --> 01:40:06.079
by staying alive, our neighbor will be taking

01:40:06.079 --> 01:40:08.739
what we and our children need to stay alive.

01:40:10.279 --> 01:40:13.239
Zero population growth wants to defuse the population

01:40:13.239 --> 01:40:17.439
bomb before it blows up on our faces. Maybe you

01:40:17.439 --> 01:40:19.819
won't want to join ZBG in its efforts to protect

01:40:19.819 --> 01:40:22.760
the future, but you owe it to the children of

01:40:22.760 --> 01:40:29.970
America to find out. Call 939 -7798 for information,

01:40:30.949 --> 01:40:36.090
because the fuse is getting very short. Friends,

01:40:36.270 --> 01:40:38.189
next time you visit Dodger Stadium, be sure to

01:40:38.189 --> 01:40:40.069
drop by one of Danny Goodman's souvenir stands,

01:40:40.189 --> 01:40:43.409
pick up a copy of the 1971 Dodger yearbook. The

01:40:43.409 --> 01:40:45.729
great cover by Carl Hubenthal is worth the selling

01:40:45.729 --> 01:40:47.989
price of 50 cents. All right, you'll find the

01:40:47.989 --> 01:40:49.890
names of every Dodger who has played in the stadium.

01:40:50.369 --> 01:40:53.010
A fitting salute to the 10th anniversary season.

01:40:53.929 --> 01:40:58.090
Here's Jim Colbert coming on now. Young man from

01:40:58.090 --> 01:41:00.489
around these parts. Jim went to school in Whittier.

01:41:01.689 --> 01:41:10.710
He was born and now lives in Santa Paula. He

01:41:10.710 --> 01:41:16.130
went to Whittier College. And is working on his

01:41:16.130 --> 01:41:24.590
master's degree now. So Colbert is warming up

01:41:24.590 --> 01:41:27.789
now and he replaces Kenny Holtzman who works

01:41:27.789 --> 01:41:30.470
six and he's allowed four runs, six hits, and

01:41:30.470 --> 01:41:38.949
struck out 1 -1. Here's Bill Russell coming up

01:41:38.949 --> 01:41:42.470
now. Russell has one hit and two trips. He ought

01:41:42.470 --> 01:41:50.250
to hit the third. Last half of the seventh. Russell

01:41:50.250 --> 01:41:52.199
now will turn around and pass in the left side,

01:41:52.199 --> 01:41:55.720
facing Coburn. Coburn has been in one game, has

01:41:55.720 --> 01:41:57.199
worked just the third of an inning, and allowed

01:41:57.199 --> 01:41:59.640
one hit. Big right hander ready in the pitch

01:41:59.640 --> 01:42:01.460
on the way to Russell. Pull on him, and strike

01:42:01.460 --> 01:42:03.800
one. We're in the bottom of the summer's inning,

01:42:04.159 --> 01:42:06.800
and the Dodgers lead 4 -2 over the Chicago Cubs,

01:42:06.899 --> 01:42:08.800
first meeting of the year between the two teams.

01:42:11.640 --> 01:42:13.859
Coburn checking signs again into the windup,

01:42:13.920 --> 01:42:16.180
and here's his pitch. A swing and a miss, and

01:42:16.180 --> 01:42:18.659
a good breaking ball. Strike two. That ball seemed

01:42:18.659 --> 01:42:32.319
to run in on Russell. 0 and 2 to the count. Now

01:42:32.319 --> 01:42:35.300
the pitch on the way. Cap foul of Lefkoe, Texas

01:42:35.300 --> 01:42:41.960
swing. But a strange note about Cobran. He became

01:42:41.960 --> 01:42:46.140
the Cubs player representative as a rookie. He

01:42:46.140 --> 01:42:50.779
must be pretty smart. That master's degree is

01:42:50.779 --> 01:42:53.000
in sociology. The swing of the line drive caught

01:42:53.000 --> 01:42:56.819
by Becker. So Russell lines up to the second

01:42:56.819 --> 01:42:59.539
baseman one away and here's Brewer coming up.

01:42:59.859 --> 01:43:02.220
So Jim Brewer, who came in to replace Mandy Vance,

01:43:02.260 --> 01:43:19.600
coming up now. Coburn pitching. Not a lot of

01:43:19.600 --> 01:43:21.340
the ball. Another note about Coburn, I think.

01:43:21.399 --> 01:43:23.239
They had a night for him here, and his rookie

01:43:23.239 --> 01:43:25.020
here, the folks from Santa Paula came down to

01:43:25.020 --> 01:43:26.800
have a night for him, and I think that he was

01:43:26.800 --> 01:43:30.720
shook out the next day. But he kind of took it

01:43:30.720 --> 01:43:34.079
all good -naturedly by the boy. Line drive foul

01:43:34.079 --> 01:43:36.319
down the left field line, and the count to Brewer,

01:43:36.380 --> 01:43:40.260
one ball, one strike. So that'd be in 1969 when

01:43:40.260 --> 01:43:44.220
he came up with the Cubs for six games. He was

01:43:44.220 --> 01:43:46.460
with the Cubs last year. It was in 34 games and

01:43:46.460 --> 01:43:51.899
had a record of three and one. ball in the deep

01:43:51.899 --> 01:43:54.260
right field by a floater. Carlson going back

01:43:54.260 --> 01:43:57.159
to the track makes the catch for the off. Boy,

01:43:57.159 --> 01:43:58.899
that's about as hard as Jim Brewer will ever

01:43:58.899 --> 01:44:01.960
hit a baseball. A long high fly ball, and Carlson

01:44:01.960 --> 01:44:04.600
had to retreat all the way to the running track

01:44:04.600 --> 01:44:07.960
in deep right field. So Brewer a long out, and

01:44:07.960 --> 01:44:10.520
here's Wills coming up. Maury has one for three.

01:44:11.500 --> 01:44:13.779
Brewer will go back down and talk about his power.

01:44:14.899 --> 01:44:17.939
He goes down into the dugout, takes the helmet

01:44:17.939 --> 01:44:22.560
off, and has a seat. Over the bat rack, of course.

01:44:24.060 --> 01:44:25.840
Wills is about two down on the bottom of the

01:44:25.840 --> 01:44:33.460
seventh inning. Now the windup in the pitch.

01:44:33.760 --> 01:44:37.760
Off speed to Wills for a strike. 0 -1. Sandy

01:44:37.760 --> 01:44:39.680
Vance works six and two -thirds and he's allowed

01:44:39.680 --> 01:44:42.840
two runs, three hits in his first start of the

01:44:42.840 --> 01:44:48.380
year. 0 -1. Now the pitch. Bounced over the mound

01:44:48.380 --> 01:44:50.300
near second base. Becker's there. Up with it.

01:44:50.520 --> 01:44:52.640
Schroeder first. Wills is out to retire the side.

01:44:52.739 --> 01:44:54.500
So Colburn gets them out one, two, three, and

01:44:54.500 --> 01:44:57.300
the seven. Schroeder at the end of seven. Dodgers

01:44:57.300 --> 01:45:01.239
four and the Cubs have two. Marge, I'm home.

01:45:01.779 --> 01:45:03.979
Thank goodness, George. What a day. You think

01:45:03.979 --> 01:45:06.399
you had a bad day, Marge? Here I am driving home

01:45:06.399 --> 01:45:08.439
and it's hotter than a barbecue, right? And what

01:45:08.439 --> 01:45:10.640
happened? What, George? I turn on the air conditioner

01:45:10.640 --> 01:45:13.100
and it goes nuts. It was like a sauna bath in

01:45:13.100 --> 01:45:15.079
that car. They just don't make things the way

01:45:15.079 --> 01:45:17.090
they used to. I'll probably have to take it to

01:45:17.090 --> 01:45:19.069
a dozen places before I can find a guy who can

01:45:19.069 --> 01:45:21.489
fix it. You know why, Marge? Why do it? Because

01:45:21.489 --> 01:45:23.909
nobody tries anymore. Nobody's got the old spirit.

01:45:24.930 --> 01:45:28.170
We still try at Union 76. When you take your

01:45:28.170 --> 01:45:30.729
car to a Union 76 certified service man, he'll

01:45:30.729 --> 01:45:33.250
do the job right. Because he's had special training

01:45:33.250 --> 01:45:35.710
at Union certified service school. Up to six

01:45:35.710 --> 01:45:37.850
weeks for each certified service driver you wear.

01:45:38.210 --> 01:45:40.710
Tires, brakes, wheel alignment, two miles. If

01:45:40.710 --> 01:45:42.770
he's wearing the stripes, you know he can do

01:45:42.770 --> 01:45:45.529
the job. Even with complicated things. like air

01:45:45.529 --> 01:45:48.689
conditioners. Marge, the Union 76 guy with the

01:45:48.689 --> 01:45:50.729
air conditioning stripe found the trouble. Really

01:45:50.729 --> 01:45:53.250
George? What was it? I turned on the heater by

01:45:53.250 --> 01:46:00.430
mistake. Don't forget cap night when everyone

01:46:00.430 --> 01:46:02.609
at Dodger City, youngsters and oldsters get a

01:46:02.609 --> 01:46:05.250
cap. The date, Friday night, May 7th. The Dodgers

01:46:05.250 --> 01:46:07.329
and the Pirates here that night. Cap night on

01:46:07.329 --> 01:46:11.130
May the 7th. Jim Brewer trying to cap it up for

01:46:11.130 --> 01:46:14.100
the Dodgers here. And the Cubs come to bat in

01:46:14.100 --> 01:46:16.760
the eighth inning. Back to play. Here's Vance.

01:46:17.060 --> 01:46:19.739
I .J. Glenn Beckett will start it off followed

01:46:19.739 --> 01:46:27.260
by Billy Williams and Ron Santo. Jim Colburn

01:46:27.260 --> 01:46:29.640
picked up the pieces for Kenny Holtzman. Jim

01:46:29.640 --> 01:46:31.779
Brewer doing the same for Sandy Vance. Dodges

01:46:31.779 --> 01:46:34.760
leading 4 -2 and the fastball is low. Ball one.

01:46:35.020 --> 01:46:41.279
1 -0. Beckett. is one of the toughest men in

01:46:41.279 --> 01:46:43.720
the league to strike out. He was the third toughest

01:46:43.720 --> 01:46:46.119
last year, and he's in the top 10 for the last

01:46:46.119 --> 01:46:48.619
four. And he whacks it in the left center field,

01:46:48.939 --> 01:46:51.619
base hit. Russell's deep to cut it off, and does,

01:46:51.720 --> 01:46:55.520
and a perfect throw to Will. So Glenn Beckert

01:46:55.520 --> 01:46:57.619
opens up with a base hit, and that means some

01:46:57.619 --> 01:46:59.680
big boys are coming up representing the tying

01:46:59.680 --> 01:47:02.600
run. That's William from Santo and Pepidome.

01:47:16.750 --> 01:47:19.270
Four -two Dodgers and here's Billy Williams popped

01:47:19.270 --> 01:47:23.390
up, singled and grounded out. Brewer ready and

01:47:23.390 --> 01:47:25.850
delivers and a breaking ball is outside. Ball

01:47:25.850 --> 01:47:28.149
one and the Dodger bullpen stirs around. Now

01:47:28.149 --> 01:47:31.390
there's trouble in River City. And Pete Mickelson

01:47:31.390 --> 01:47:34.029
begins to throw in the Dodger bullpen to Tommy

01:47:34.029 --> 01:47:40.470
Haller. Barker not holding the bag on Beckard.

01:47:40.470 --> 01:47:43.109
He wants a little room to roam down there with

01:47:43.109 --> 01:47:45.569
left -hand hitting Williams at the plate. For

01:47:45.569 --> 01:47:47.930
one hole pitch on the way, fast ball for a strike,

01:47:48.229 --> 01:47:59.810
and that's cool Billy. One and one. Leo Durocher

01:47:59.810 --> 01:48:02.729
lets out a little holler to Doug Harvey who nods

01:48:02.729 --> 01:48:04.489
and that's all. A little foul off to the left

01:48:04.489 --> 01:48:08.229
of the plate, tough play, no play. It hits the

01:48:08.229 --> 01:48:10.989
seat and comes back on the field, hits the covering

01:48:10.989 --> 01:48:14.310
of the dugout seat. One and two to Billy Williams.

01:48:33.260 --> 01:48:38.800
Billy Williams back up to the plate. Williams

01:48:38.800 --> 01:48:42.500
hit just under 400 against the Dodgers last year.

01:48:43.020 --> 01:48:47.279
He's 1 for 3 tonight. Brewer at the bell and

01:48:47.279 --> 01:48:50.100
the 1 -2 fits. On the hands foul back. Brewer

01:48:50.100 --> 01:48:52.239
dropping his arm and coming a little side on

01:48:52.239 --> 01:48:54.800
that time to the left hand hitter. Still 1 and

01:48:54.800 --> 01:49:00.920
2. The word on Billy Williams. And, of course,

01:49:00.920 --> 01:49:03.100
he has been rookie of the year and established

01:49:03.100 --> 01:49:05.720
star for many years for the Tubs. But his own

01:49:05.720 --> 01:49:08.960
personality has matured considerably. He is definitely

01:49:08.960 --> 01:49:11.899
one of the team leaders now. The one -two breaking

01:49:11.899 --> 01:49:14.140
ball hits off Parker's glove in the right field.

01:49:14.159 --> 01:49:17.039
That was a shot. Becker is on his way to third

01:49:17.039 --> 01:49:21.079
and holding. And Billy Williams almost took Parker's

01:49:21.079 --> 01:49:23.859
hands off with a single to right. There are runners

01:49:23.859 --> 01:49:27.739
at first and third, nobody out. With Stantos,

01:49:27.840 --> 01:49:31.439
Pepperdorn, and Callison coming up. And that

01:49:31.439 --> 01:49:37.899
ball was stunned. The Dodgers, without an answer

01:49:37.899 --> 01:49:41.100
as to how to pitch to Williams, these two for

01:49:41.100 --> 01:49:45.420
four tonight. So first and third, nobody out.

01:49:45.479 --> 01:49:48.060
Dodgers holding on to a four to two lead. But

01:49:48.060 --> 01:49:50.300
for the first time tonight, the Cubs now have

01:49:50.300 --> 01:49:52.680
more hits than the Dodgers. They have been coming

01:49:52.680 --> 01:49:57.079
in the eighth as well as in the seventh. Sato

01:49:57.079 --> 01:50:01.479
takes the strike. Ron walks into a fourth play,

01:50:01.800 --> 01:50:10.800
struck out. Jim Brewer has allowed three hits.

01:50:14.680 --> 01:50:17.119
Now the pitch of the play, screwball, a high

01:50:17.119 --> 01:50:19.460
fly ball. That should be deep enough to get Beckard

01:50:19.460 --> 01:50:22.300
on. Russell angling under it makes the catch.

01:50:22.399 --> 01:50:24.779
Beckard comes and the throw goes to the feeders

01:50:24.779 --> 01:50:27.460
to keep the potential tying run anchored at first

01:50:27.460 --> 01:50:34.529
base. Lestano is scoring five balls. And the

01:50:34.529 --> 01:50:59.250
batter is Joe Pepitone. Here's Joe Pepitone.

01:50:59.289 --> 01:51:03.890
Popped up twice and won. He's 0 for 2. 4 to 3

01:51:03.890 --> 01:51:06.810
Dodgers. Brewer's tight -arm fastball hits to

01:51:06.810 --> 01:51:10.130
Parker. He goes to Wills. He's back to Parker.

01:51:10.289 --> 01:51:24.109
Double play. In the eighth inning for Chicago.

01:51:24.409 --> 01:51:27.760
One run, two hits. Nobody left. At the end of

01:51:27.760 --> 01:51:29.840
seven and a half innings, the Dodgers four and

01:51:29.840 --> 01:51:42.960
the Cubs three. A treasure on Disney kids' games

01:51:42.960 --> 01:51:46.420
when it's underneath the Atlantic Ocean. Sharks

01:51:46.420 --> 01:51:49.399
don't play games. Their ancestors must have had

01:51:49.399 --> 01:51:52.220
quite a piece 250 years ago when a hurricane

01:51:52.220 --> 01:51:55.500
sank a fleet of Spanish galleons. along with

01:51:55.500 --> 01:51:58.539
14 million dollars in gold doubloons and pieces

01:51:58.539 --> 01:52:02.359
of eight. If you're lucky, you'll find some of

01:52:02.359 --> 01:52:08.000
it. If you're even luckier, you'll live to celebrate

01:52:08.000 --> 01:52:11.140
it, with gusto. And man, that's when you know

01:52:11.140 --> 01:52:16.119
what life really is. Because you know you only

01:52:16.119 --> 01:52:18.680
go around once, and you gotta look for all the

01:52:18.680 --> 01:52:23.159
gusto you can, even in the beer you drink. That

01:52:23.159 --> 01:52:27.289
means shit. Why settle for less? When you're

01:52:27.289 --> 01:52:37.550
out of schlitz, you're out of beer. Bottom of

01:52:37.550 --> 01:52:40.130
the eighth inning, good bogey. Dodges four, cuts

01:52:40.130 --> 01:52:45.750
three. In the eighth inning, it'll be Manny Moda,

01:52:45.930 --> 01:52:50.479
Wes Parker, and Ricky Allen in that order. Manny

01:52:50.479 --> 01:52:53.060
Moda grounded out twice and lined out to right

01:52:53.060 --> 01:52:55.779
all three times going the other way, which is

01:52:55.779 --> 01:52:59.619
the usual way with Manny. He rarely tries to

01:52:59.619 --> 01:53:03.939
pull a ball. He swings and lifts one back to

01:53:03.939 --> 01:53:06.739
second base. Beckers is shortstop. Kessinger

01:53:06.739 --> 01:53:09.659
will handle it instead. So Kessinger handling

01:53:09.659 --> 01:53:12.220
the pop fly by Moda one away and the batter,

01:53:12.420 --> 01:53:18.359
Wes Parker. Wes Parker. who started the double

01:53:18.359 --> 01:53:23.399
play on the ball hit by Pepitone. West has lined

01:53:23.399 --> 01:53:27.039
out twice and singles. He's won for three, scored

01:53:27.039 --> 01:53:34.600
a run. Coburn ready and Jim delivers. Low, 1

01:53:34.600 --> 01:53:38.439
-1, 1 -0. If you are not keeping score and you're

01:53:38.439 --> 01:53:40.819
wondering about the Cubs in the ninth, they are

01:53:40.819 --> 01:53:44.220
due to send up Johnny Callison, Jose Ortiz, and

01:53:44.220 --> 01:53:48.199
J .C. Martin. Here's the 1 -0 pitch. Parker checks

01:53:48.199 --> 01:53:53.859
and it's a strike. Leo said before the ballgame

01:53:53.859 --> 01:53:57.319
he could and might use Randy Hundley as the pinch

01:53:57.319 --> 01:54:04.560
hitter as the situation came up. 1 -1 the count.

01:54:05.079 --> 01:54:07.119
The pitch to Parker is the ground ball down to

01:54:07.119 --> 01:54:09.520
second. Charging is Becker, short hops and gets

01:54:09.520 --> 01:54:20.989
him for the second out. Here is Rushie Allen,

01:54:21.470 --> 01:54:23.829
round of the third, hit a booming home run over

01:54:23.829 --> 01:54:26.229
the center field fence and slide to right. In

01:54:26.229 --> 01:54:30.789
talking about the possible pinch hitters on the

01:54:30.789 --> 01:54:34.829
Chicago bench, discount the name Ernie Banks.

01:54:37.729 --> 01:54:40.529
First pitch is tied down. Ernie Banks is on the

01:54:40.529 --> 01:54:43.710
disabled list. He went on the 1st of April, so

01:54:43.710 --> 01:54:46.489
he will stay on for three weeks. Banks. with

01:54:46.489 --> 01:54:48.609
the ball club worked out every day before the

01:54:48.609 --> 01:54:51.970
game but that's it. Strike one pitch, Allen has

01:54:51.970 --> 01:54:56.609
a look, he'll pay for it, strike two. So it's

01:54:56.609 --> 01:54:58.890
one time the Dodgers do not have to worry about

01:54:58.890 --> 01:55:00.689
the Great Ernie Banks coming up in the ninth

01:55:00.689 --> 01:55:09.470
inning. 0 -2 the count to Richie Allen. Coborn

01:55:09.470 --> 01:55:12.260
checking. Jim to the windup and the strike two

01:55:12.260 --> 01:55:14.619
fish. On the hands a broken bat, slow ground

01:55:14.619 --> 01:55:16.979
ball to short, Kessinger in a hurry, throws in

01:55:16.979 --> 01:55:20.100
the dirt dug out by Pepitone, and boy that bat

01:55:20.100 --> 01:55:23.060
will not be used again. Allen was really jammed.

01:55:23.380 --> 01:55:25.039
Dodgers are gone in the eighth and at the end

01:55:25.039 --> 01:55:29.439
of eighth, Dodgers four, Cubs three. Well here

01:55:29.439 --> 01:55:32.939
it is baseball season 1971, but much of the talk

01:55:32.939 --> 01:55:35.760
you hear is about the 1930s, even by those too

01:55:35.760 --> 01:55:38.090
young to remember. Now perhaps one reason is

01:55:38.090 --> 01:55:40.590
because the 30s didn't have our problems today,

01:55:40.989 --> 01:55:43.210
such as smog, litter, and elements that even

01:55:43.210 --> 01:55:45.909
affect our food. A farm boy delivered eggs that

01:55:45.909 --> 01:55:48.189
were barely out of the hen house, shiny fresh

01:55:48.189 --> 01:55:50.489
apples right from the orchard, and corn that

01:55:50.489 --> 01:55:53.550
was still growing just minutes ago. Well today,

01:55:53.869 --> 01:55:56.689
it's nice to know we have Farmer John and his

01:55:56.689 --> 01:55:59.569
pork. Pork so fresh it couldn't be fresher back

01:55:59.569 --> 01:56:01.890
in the famous Eastern Corn Belt. In fact, you

01:56:01.890 --> 01:56:04.229
might say Farmer John brought the Corn Belt out

01:56:04.229 --> 01:56:06.800
west. Because he gets eastern corn -fed pork

01:56:06.800 --> 01:56:09.340
out here live, not frozen or in cold storage

01:56:09.340 --> 01:56:12.800
like most packers do. Then the meat's U .S. inspected

01:56:12.800 --> 01:56:16.039
and grass -fresh right here in the West. So Farmer

01:56:16.039 --> 01:56:19.039
John Pork is strictly fresh. Farmer John Pork,

01:56:19.239 --> 01:56:21.760
the only fresh pork ever to win a gold medal

01:56:21.760 --> 01:56:25.000
at the California State Fair. Passport by name,

01:56:25.300 --> 01:56:28.939
Farmer John. As we go through the ninth inning

01:56:28.939 --> 01:56:31.289
with the Dodgers leading four to three. They

01:56:31.289 --> 01:56:33.729
make an outfield change for defensive purposes.

01:56:34.029 --> 01:56:36.750
They put Willie Davis in center field, move Bill

01:56:36.750 --> 01:56:39.689
Russell over to right field, and move Manny Mota

01:56:39.689 --> 01:56:42.630
over to left field. So the keeping score put

01:56:42.630 --> 01:56:51.810
Willie Davis in Richie Allen's spot. Randy Hundley

01:56:51.810 --> 01:56:56.449
will make an appearance. Randy... making his

01:56:56.449 --> 01:56:58.829
appearance and it'll be number one for the great

01:56:58.829 --> 01:57:01.090
young Chicago catcher who's been out with a bad

01:57:01.090 --> 01:57:07.109
knee. So, Hundley makes his first appearance

01:57:07.109 --> 01:57:11.649
of the year hitting for Johnny Callison against

01:57:11.649 --> 01:57:16.670
the left -hand hitting Jim Brewer. The pitch

01:57:16.670 --> 01:57:20.010
to Hundley, a strike on one. We mentioned earlier

01:57:20.010 --> 01:57:23.550
that Leo said that Hundley will catch, will start.

01:57:23.710 --> 01:57:30.909
against the San Diego Padres. Brew into the wind

01:57:30.909 --> 01:57:33.409
-up and the strike one -fifth. Screwball lifted

01:57:33.409 --> 01:57:36.090
to shallow center. Davis comes off. He's there.

01:57:36.149 --> 01:57:40.789
He's got it. You know one thing we always seem

01:57:40.789 --> 01:57:43.489
to forget. There is pressure on a ballplayer

01:57:43.489 --> 01:57:45.970
when he is put in in the last inning or so of

01:57:45.970 --> 01:57:47.930
the game for defensive purposes. That's a long

01:57:47.930 --> 01:57:50.369
time to sit around. And then suddenly they hit

01:57:50.369 --> 01:57:52.689
a ball to you and you've had no practice in a

01:57:52.689 --> 01:57:57.420
long while. Now, after that fly ball, Randy Hundley

01:57:57.420 --> 01:58:00.319
apparently, and we're only guessing, had that

01:58:00.319 --> 01:58:03.979
knee buckle on him. And Hundley, who was so close

01:58:03.979 --> 01:58:07.520
to playing, has suddenly fallen down and apparently

01:58:07.520 --> 01:58:11.600
hurt the leg again. What a miserable break for

01:58:11.600 --> 01:58:14.420
a great kid catcher from Virginia. And it is

01:58:14.420 --> 01:58:18.020
his right knee. Hundley is coming off two serious

01:58:18.020 --> 01:58:20.079
knee injuries back to back, and they're going

01:58:20.079 --> 01:58:22.060
to have to take a stretcher, I believe, and take

01:58:22.060 --> 01:58:26.439
him off. He is an Ironman catcher and suddenly

01:58:26.439 --> 01:58:29.699
last year he hurt his knee and now this year

01:58:29.699 --> 01:58:36.520
he hurts it all pop of it In fact Glenn Bechert

01:58:36.520 --> 01:58:39.699
and Joel Pepitone bring the stretcher out and

01:58:39.699 --> 01:58:42.979
I can hear Leo's words before the game When we

01:58:42.979 --> 01:58:45.340
asked him why wouldn't you catch Hundley tomorrow

01:58:45.340 --> 01:58:47.659
night if he can catch on Wednesday and Leo said

01:58:47.659 --> 01:58:50.859
I'm not gonna take any chances with him I'd rather

01:58:50.859 --> 01:58:54.000
be 10 minutes late than 10 minutes early. And

01:58:54.000 --> 01:58:56.159
then we said, could you use him as a pinch hitter?

01:58:56.279 --> 01:58:58.720
He said, oh, yes, as a pinch hitter. And wouldn't

01:58:58.720 --> 01:59:01.659
you know that hitting a fly ball apparently is

01:59:01.659 --> 01:59:03.800
spikes caught, and down he went and hurt the

01:59:03.800 --> 01:59:08.199
knee again. And boy, that breaks your heart,

01:59:08.460 --> 01:59:11.699
because he is a marvelous guy and a great ballplayer.

01:59:12.699 --> 01:59:14.640
Of course, the station identification, this is

01:59:14.640 --> 01:59:28.550
the Los Angeles Dodgers radio network. To give

01:59:28.550 --> 01:59:31.869
you an idea about what kind of an Iron Man Randy

01:59:31.869 --> 01:59:36.750
Hundley has been for the Cubs, in 1966 he caught

01:59:36.750 --> 01:59:42.869
149 games, in 67 152, and in 68 he appeared in

01:59:42.869 --> 01:59:49.909
160 of 162 games, in 69 151 games. And you can

01:59:49.909 --> 01:59:51.289
only keep your fingers crossed and hope that

01:59:51.289 --> 01:59:55.000
he'll be okay. That's a tough break. Here is

01:59:55.000 --> 01:59:58.939
Jose Ortiz. Brewer delivers fastball for a strike.

01:59:59.600 --> 02:00:01.800
Ortiz hit into a fourth playground of his short

02:00:01.800 --> 02:00:04.020
and ripped one over Richie Allen's head for a

02:00:04.020 --> 02:00:05.880
long double in the seventh inning. He short hopped

02:00:05.880 --> 02:00:11.600
the bullpen gate in left field. Strike one -fifth

02:00:11.600 --> 02:00:14.800
to Ortiz. Ground ball down to Wills. Morrie is

02:00:14.800 --> 02:00:20.000
up with it. Has to hurry. Gets him. Two down.

02:00:20.800 --> 02:00:24.079
New up is J .C. Martin. He will not come up.

02:00:24.720 --> 02:00:28.239
There'll be a hitter, Hal Breeden. B -R -E -E

02:00:28.239 --> 02:00:31.359
-D -E -N, a catcher. And Breeden will now come

02:00:31.359 --> 02:00:34.899
up and hit. And of course, I don't know whether

02:00:34.899 --> 02:00:37.800
Leo would second guess himself, but you know

02:00:37.800 --> 02:00:39.880
the human reaction will be, why in the world

02:00:39.880 --> 02:00:43.000
did I even use him? But of course, he's a professional

02:00:43.000 --> 02:00:45.920
athlete. He had to be used. And darned it, Hunter,

02:00:46.100 --> 02:00:48.680
he apparently didn't hurt that knee again. So,

02:00:48.699 --> 02:00:53.720
Hal Breeden... who is listed as a catcher but

02:00:53.720 --> 02:01:04.560
has been an infielder. Right hand battered. He

02:01:04.560 --> 02:01:08.060
has good power, so he's up there to try and do

02:01:08.060 --> 02:01:10.539
it with one swing. He has 37 home runs at Richmond

02:01:10.539 --> 02:01:23.569
last year. Fastball for site. now the strike

02:01:23.569 --> 02:01:26.949
one pitch to Breeden screwball low Harvey taking

02:01:26.949 --> 02:01:28.850
his head no he did not swing in the count one

02:01:28.850 --> 02:01:39.409
and one so Breeden is the third Chicago pinch

02:01:39.409 --> 02:01:43.369
hitter and the second in the ninth inning one

02:01:43.369 --> 02:01:45.590
one pitch to the right hand batter screwball

02:01:45.590 --> 02:01:51.810
one on a missed strike two one and two now Breeden

02:01:56.810 --> 02:02:00.710
from Georgia. Brewer ready, one, two, fish. One

02:02:00.710 --> 02:02:02.869
on him, next, Brewer got him, and the Dodgers

02:02:02.869 --> 02:02:06.449
win it four to three, as Brewer strikes out Hal

02:02:06.449 --> 02:02:08.510
Breeze. There are the totals of winning and losing

02:02:08.510 --> 02:02:22.539
fishers right after this message. well -trained

02:02:22.539 --> 02:02:25.560
group of high caliber concerned men dedicated

02:02:25.560 --> 02:02:28.380
to providing support to the regular police force.

02:02:28.979 --> 02:02:31.600
Reserve officers receive no pay, but they do

02:02:31.600 --> 02:02:34.039
share in the pride and the self -respect that

02:02:34.039 --> 02:02:36.340
comes with making Phoenix a better place in which

02:02:36.340 --> 02:02:39.539
to live. This is Dick Van Dyke with a special

02:02:39.539 --> 02:02:43.000
message for men between the ages of 21 and 45

02:02:43.000 --> 02:02:46.020
who measure up to the reserve. The next police

02:02:46.020 --> 02:02:48.500
academy class begins very soon, and if you're

02:02:48.500 --> 02:02:51.079
a Phoenix resident... 5 '8 and weigh at least

02:02:51.079 --> 02:02:54.479
150 pounds, you may qualify as a member of this

02:02:54.479 --> 02:02:57.779
limited reserve group. You're invited, rather

02:02:57.779 --> 02:03:02.819
urged, to call 262 -6188 for more information,

02:03:03.359 --> 02:03:12.779
or contact this radio station. The total's on

02:03:12.779 --> 02:03:15.359
the ballgame for the Dodgers to win at four runs,

02:03:15.500 --> 02:03:18.380
six hits, and no errors. For the Chicago Cubs,

02:03:18.500 --> 02:03:21.779
three runs, five hits and no errors. A well -played

02:03:21.779 --> 02:03:24.500
game that took about full two hours and two minutes,

02:03:24.579 --> 02:03:26.640
although that's not official. The winning pitcher,

02:03:27.039 --> 02:03:29.159
Sandy Vance, and a lot of lifts he gave the ball

02:03:29.159 --> 02:03:32.260
club. Vance 1 -0 this year, and 1 -1 lifetime

02:03:32.260 --> 02:03:34.720
with the Cubs. Kenny Holtzman and Jim Colborne

02:03:34.720 --> 02:03:37.939
and Holtzman the loser, he's 0 -2, 0 -1 with

02:03:37.939 --> 02:03:41.079
the Dodgers this year, 12 and 5 lifetimes. So

02:03:41.079 --> 02:03:43.000
the Dodgers beat the Cubs in their first meeting.

02:03:43.319 --> 02:03:45.300
Tomorrow night it'll be Bill Singer and Milt

02:03:45.300 --> 02:03:48.170
Pappas. Warm -up time at 740, game time at 8.

02:03:48.390 --> 02:03:50.470
I don't think we'll have any further reports

02:03:50.470 --> 02:03:53.430
on Randy Huntley. We can only hope that he'll

02:03:53.430 --> 02:03:55.710
be okay. But if we, of course, get a report,

02:03:55.850 --> 02:03:57.529
we'll pass it to you on the Polk Team Show. And

02:03:57.529 --> 02:03:59.989
a reminder, on the Polk Team Show, our guest

02:03:59.989 --> 02:04:02.550
will be Jimmy LaFevre, and we'll get to the question

02:04:02.550 --> 02:04:35.380
and answers. like mountain standard time, 11

02:04:35.380 --> 02:04:48.039
.05. Good evening, this is Tony Pollack with

02:04:48.039 --> 02:04:50.319
Arizona Highlights. A 21 -year -old Flagstaff

02:04:50.319 --> 02:04:52.600
woman fell to her death today at Mojave Point

02:04:52.600 --> 02:04:55.000
overlooking the Grand Canyon. The girl's name

02:04:55.000 --> 02:04:57.460
was withheld, sending notifications next to kin.

02:04:57.659 --> 02:05:00.020
Grand Canyon National Park information officer

02:05:00.020 --> 02:05:02.000
Dick Reynier said the girl was sitting at the

02:05:02.000 --> 02:05:04.319
canyon's edge outside a safety railing with three

02:05:04.319 --> 02:05:06.939
companions. The companion said they turned to

02:05:06.939 --> 02:05:09.520
return to their car, looked back, and saw the

02:05:09.520 --> 02:05:12.239
victim slip and fall. Reynier said she fell about

02:05:12.239 --> 02:05:15.380
300 feet. Her body was recovered by park rangers

02:05:15.380 --> 02:05:19.039
using a helicopter. Telephone bills may be going

02:05:19.039 --> 02:05:21.779
up. Mountain Bell Telephone Company announced

02:05:21.779 --> 02:05:23.800
today it'll ask the State Corporation Commission

02:05:23.800 --> 02:05:26.180
for approval to raise its rates. The company

02:05:26.180 --> 02:05:28.180
is seeking an across -the -board hike of six

02:05:28.180 --> 02:05:31.020
to seven percent. Mountain Bell president L .B.

02:05:31.180 --> 02:05:33.220
Jolly says the cost of doing business has risen

02:05:33.220 --> 02:05:35.260
steadily since the company received its last

02:05:35.260 --> 02:05:39.119
rate increase in 1954. More news in a moment.
