00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:11.820
On April 23, 1960, the Cleveland Indians faced

00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:14.080
the Kansas City Athletics in an afternoon game

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:17.500
at Municipal Stadium in Kansas City. The Indians

00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:19.699
were managed by Joe Gordon, who was in his third

00:00:19.699 --> 00:00:22.640
and final season with the team. Although the

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:24.739
Indians had been a consistent 90 -win team and

00:00:24.739 --> 00:00:27.699
had reached the World Series in 1954, they had

00:00:27.699 --> 00:00:29.640
declined to nothing more than an average team

00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.390
by 1960. Kansas City was led by first -year manager

00:00:33.390 --> 00:00:35.750
Bob Elliott, who had taken over from Harry Kraft

00:00:35.750 --> 00:00:38.429
after his three -year tenure with the A's. The

00:00:38.429 --> 00:00:40.670
game featured two relatively unknown starting

00:00:40.670 --> 00:00:43.509
pitchers, Barry Lappman for the Indians and Dick

00:00:43.509 --> 00:00:46.469
Hall for the Athletics. This audio recording

00:00:46.469 --> 00:00:48.829
is from the radio broadcast featuring announcers

00:00:48.829 --> 00:01:00.880
Jack Buck and Carl Erskine. Pen, pen, bendable,

00:03:14.909 --> 00:03:16.949

00:03:41.580 --> 00:03:44.500
of showing you how much we appreciate your support.

00:03:44.939 --> 00:03:47.240
Here we are in Kansas City, and the scene at

00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.500
home plate finds Joe Gordon, the manager of the

00:03:49.500 --> 00:03:51.599
Indians, with a big grin on his face, even though

00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.400
the Indians have yet to win a ball game this

00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:56.360
year. Bob Elliott, the manager of the Kansas

00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:58.520
City A's in his first year in that capacity,

00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.039
talking things over with the four umpires. Al

00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:02.879
Smith will be at the plate just walking out of

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.280
your picture. Joe Paparella is at first base.

00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.280
Second base umpire is Ed Runge, and Johnny Rice

00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.680
is the third base umpire. It's a cool, windy,

00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.199
rather overcast day here as these two American

00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.980
League ball clubs battle. And two right -handers

00:04:16.980 --> 00:04:18.540
will be going at it. To tell you a little bit

00:04:18.540 --> 00:04:20.240
about them and who they are, here's Carl Erskine.

00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.040
Hi, thank you, Jack. Two right -handers are now

00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.160
warming up. Barry Lattmann, who came over from

00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.639
the White Sox just this year. And he's down there

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:30.839
hoping to get off to a good start today because

00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.639
he had an eight and five year last year in a

00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:35.699
little over a hundred innings. And I know he's

00:04:35.699 --> 00:04:37.939
out there today wanting to get started and get

00:04:37.939 --> 00:04:40.879
this number one win under his belt. Dick Hall

00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.519
has already completed his pregame activities,

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.480
Carl, and we've seen him before quite often.

00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.339
Dick Hall, you'll recall, was an outfielder,

00:04:49.339 --> 00:04:51.620
Jack, and they converted him to a pitcher, and

00:04:51.620 --> 00:04:53.259
he came up with some arm trouble with the pitcher

00:04:53.259 --> 00:04:55.519
bird and was sent out. The other boys got on

00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.019
the field, Jack, and tried to get underway. Right,

00:04:58.139 --> 00:04:59.879
and Dick Hall will be going to the mound, carrying

00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:02.879
with him a rather fantastic record from last

00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.300
year at Salt Lake City. The athletics wearing

00:05:05.300 --> 00:05:07.810
the white home uniforms. The wind blowing out

00:05:07.810 --> 00:05:09.689
towards left, as we told you, and we expect quite

00:05:09.689 --> 00:05:12.209
a few to be jumping out of this ballpark. Unless,

00:05:12.269 --> 00:05:14.470
of course, the pitchers have anything to say

00:05:14.470 --> 00:05:16.589
about it. We'll set the lineup for you. First

00:05:16.589 --> 00:05:20.410
in left field, there's Bob Sir. Alongside Bob

00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:22.370
in center field is Bill Tunnel. The fellow can

00:05:22.370 --> 00:05:24.410
really cover ground and get an idea of the distance

00:05:24.410 --> 00:05:27.490
at the same time, 421. Hank Bauer, one of the

00:05:27.490 --> 00:05:29.829
great names in baseball, is playing right field.

00:05:29.889 --> 00:05:32.769
The third baseman is a rookie, Bob Johnson. And

00:05:32.769 --> 00:05:34.529
another youngster is at the shortstop position.

00:05:34.730 --> 00:05:36.410
That's Ken Hamlin. He had quite a day yesterday

00:05:36.410 --> 00:05:39.350
with that club. Jerry Lumpy, a former Yankee

00:05:39.350 --> 00:05:42.389
at second base. And yet another former Yankee,

00:05:42.509 --> 00:05:44.670
Norm Siebern, at a strange position playing first

00:05:44.670 --> 00:05:48.329
base this afternoon. Back of the plate is a former

00:05:48.329 --> 00:05:50.370
national leaguer, Harry Cheney, who is with the

00:05:50.370 --> 00:05:52.350
Cubs. Number one catcher now for the A's. And

00:05:52.350 --> 00:05:55.290
on the mound, this big fella, 6 '6", Nick Hall.

00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.779
Last year his record was quite outstanding 18

00:05:58.779 --> 00:06:01.740
and 5. There is Jojo White coaching at third

00:06:01.740 --> 00:06:05.279
base for the Cleveland Indians and Red Cress

00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:07.500
is the first base coach talking things over with

00:06:07.500 --> 00:06:09.180
the umpire saying what do you have to do to win

00:06:09.180 --> 00:06:12.759
a game? The athletics have won one and lost two.

00:06:12.779 --> 00:06:15.220
They lost two games to Chicago. Both games they

00:06:15.220 --> 00:06:17.000
felt they could have won. They had some bad breaks

00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.920
they say. Meanwhile Cleveland is on three having

00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.620
lost the third game yesterday here to the Kansas

00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:25.100
City A's and the A's home opener four to one.

00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.680
Here's Johnny Temple. Dick Hall on the mound.

00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.720
The first pitch of the ball game is a ball. Temple's

00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.300
gotten off to a rather slow start. A scrappy

00:06:37.300 --> 00:06:39.579
little fellow who last year played second base

00:06:39.579 --> 00:06:42.180
for Cincinnati was involved in a trade with Cal

00:06:42.180 --> 00:06:46.560
McGlish. One ball to count. And a strike now.

00:06:46.699 --> 00:06:48.860
One and one. The outfield just about straight

00:06:48.860 --> 00:06:50.720
away for Temple. He hits the ball to all fields.

00:06:51.220 --> 00:06:56.720
He has only one out of 14. And there's nothing

00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:58.480
that a ballplayer likes any better than to get

00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.759
off to a good start and dislikes any more than

00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.420
to get off to a slow one. One and one to count.

00:07:05.379 --> 00:07:08.560
Low inside now. Two and one. You might seldom

00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.560
see a pitcher this size, Carl Erskine. He's a

00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.740
big tall boy out there. I'm sure he looks right

00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:16.420
down that hitter's throat up there. Strangely

00:07:16.420 --> 00:07:18.339
enough, as tall as he is, he's a low ball pitcher.

00:07:19.019 --> 00:07:20.680
If he keeps that ball low, you'll see a lot of

00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.310
ground balls today. He looks a little awkward

00:07:22.310 --> 00:07:24.290
but has a good fastball going for him. There's

00:07:24.290 --> 00:07:26.009
a shot in the right center. That looks like trouble

00:07:26.009 --> 00:07:27.689
and an extra base hit and this couple can run

00:07:27.689 --> 00:07:32.370
those bases. And he's going to try for two. He's

00:07:32.370 --> 00:07:34.069
in there. That's the way the ball game starts

00:07:34.069 --> 00:07:35.870
with a shot in the right center. A two base hit

00:07:35.870 --> 00:07:42.910
for Johnny Temple. Temple jammed into that bag

00:07:42.910 --> 00:07:44.930
quite hard down there as you can see. Number

00:07:44.930 --> 00:07:49.470
two is the shortstop. The second baseman is lumpy.

00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.000
Walter Bond the rookie right fielder made the

00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.300
play and made it rather close. Phil Cleveland

00:07:57.300 --> 00:07:59.120
has a good opportunity to get off and running

00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:03.540
here. The batting order finds Temple and Al Pearsall.

00:08:05.579 --> 00:08:08.339
Walter Bond hitting third. Tito Francona batting

00:08:08.339 --> 00:08:10.620
the number four spot. Russ Nixon the catcher.

00:08:10.699 --> 00:08:12.959
Big power at first. Woody held it short. Bubba

00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:17.399
Phillips at third. And Latman. Bauer on right

00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:21.420
field a while ago. With whom I referred. A ball

00:08:21.420 --> 00:08:24.879
the first off. First off getting an opportunity

00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.220
to play because Harvey Keane. Just acquired from

00:08:28.220 --> 00:08:29.939
Detroit is out of the lineup and will be for

00:08:29.939 --> 00:08:32.820
a couple of more days with a bad leg. Temple

00:08:32.820 --> 00:08:40.779
on a second base and there's nobody out. Temple

00:08:40.779 --> 00:08:44.080
is a very fine base runner. Aggressive ball player.

00:08:45.460 --> 00:08:47.539
He's able to get a good size lead off the second

00:08:47.539 --> 00:08:56.129
base. Now the time goes to one and one. All of

00:08:56.129 --> 00:08:57.690
the other teams are saying action today and we're

00:08:57.690 --> 00:09:00.250
going to keep you up -to -date on the progress

00:09:00.250 --> 00:09:04.889
of those games. Seeburn, Lumpy... Hamlin on the

00:09:04.889 --> 00:09:07.929
shortstop is just out of your picture. One ball,

00:09:07.950 --> 00:09:16.169
one strike. Two balls and a strike. His control

00:09:16.169 --> 00:09:19.350
record was fantastic last year. I was just checking

00:09:19.350 --> 00:09:21.360
on him before the game today and he... He only

00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:24.279
walked 28 men in the entire season last year,

00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:27.320
in which he won 18 and lost five. And this is

00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:29.100
a contrast to what he was the year before at

00:09:29.100 --> 00:09:31.639
Pittsburgh when he had arm trouble. Last year

00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:33.460
at Salt Lake City, it's a two ball, one strike

00:09:33.460 --> 00:09:36.799
count to Pearsaw. There's a base hit and a right.

00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:38.740
Temple's going to hold up at a third, I believe,

00:09:38.860 --> 00:09:41.059
as Bauer comes up with it. First and third and

00:09:41.059 --> 00:09:44.059
nobody out. What a throw Bauer made right through

00:09:44.059 --> 00:09:45.960
the play, but nobody out and Temple wasn't taking

00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:55.029
any... and two consecutive hits on the ball.

00:09:56.110 --> 00:09:59.950
Now here's Walter Bond, a rookie who's broken

00:09:59.950 --> 00:10:04.990
in in great fashion for the Indians. Another

00:10:04.990 --> 00:10:09.309
big fella, about 6 '5". First and third, Kansas

00:10:09.309 --> 00:10:12.169
City infield moves in, either for a play at the

00:10:12.169 --> 00:10:15.990
plate or for the double play. Outfield way around

00:10:15.990 --> 00:10:20.149
to the right, deep for Walter Bond. You know

00:10:20.149 --> 00:10:22.350
you can either as a pitcher be afraid of a big

00:10:22.350 --> 00:10:24.070
fellow or you can take the positive approach

00:10:24.070 --> 00:10:26.269
Jack and say boy what a strike zone this guy

00:10:26.269 --> 00:10:29.350
has. Usually they try to jam a fellow this size.

00:10:30.049 --> 00:10:32.049
Left handed hitter to a right handed pitcher

00:10:32.049 --> 00:10:34.990
left hand hitter often steps into the ball and

00:10:34.990 --> 00:10:37.450
in doing so it's advantage to the pitcher to

00:10:37.450 --> 00:10:40.950
pitch him tight. This temple on third base. The

00:10:40.950 --> 00:10:43.269
runner on first first all very fast nobody out

00:10:43.269 --> 00:10:56.220
there. Strikeout right now. Mary Cheney yelled

00:10:56.220 --> 00:11:00.399
something out to his pitcher. First and third.

00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:02.159
Nobody out. The ball game just started. We had

00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:08.440
a double and a single. One ball one strike to

00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:15.120
count. A real good fastball and a good cut. Getting

00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:17.470
his best shot that time. I have a feeling this

00:11:17.470 --> 00:11:19.889
fellow swings a little like Sam Jones we were

00:11:19.889 --> 00:11:22.509
talking about last week. He has almost as fast

00:11:22.509 --> 00:11:25.370
a backswing as he does across the plate. I saw

00:11:25.370 --> 00:11:28.590
Chidi move out of there on that foul tip. Walter

00:11:28.590 --> 00:11:30.950
Bond in the hole. There's Persol being held close

00:11:30.950 --> 00:11:32.669
which gives the left -handed batter a lot of

00:11:32.669 --> 00:11:36.549
room through the right side of the infield. Wow,

00:11:36.629 --> 00:11:40.370
a lot of play. This is what a ball club really

00:11:40.370 --> 00:11:43.529
enjoys when they have a fellow like Walter Bond

00:11:43.529 --> 00:11:47.649
come into camp. Just for a look see and find

00:11:47.649 --> 00:11:49.690
him to be so good that you can't cut him off

00:11:49.690 --> 00:11:52.830
the ball clock. They're playing in right field

00:11:52.830 --> 00:11:55.549
and batting him in the number three spot. Tito

00:11:55.549 --> 00:11:58.529
Francona will be next. Try to get the strike

00:11:58.529 --> 00:12:00.450
on the inside corner and ran the count to two

00:12:00.450 --> 00:12:05.389
and two now. Kansas City infield of Johnson,

00:12:05.389 --> 00:12:10.149
Hamlin, Lumpy and Seaborn. Looking for that double

00:12:10.149 --> 00:12:14.889
play ball. Good view as the umpire season. There

00:12:14.889 --> 00:12:17.029
is a base hit and a run is in and let's see if

00:12:17.029 --> 00:12:19.809
Pearsall tries for third. He stops as Bauer fires

00:12:19.809 --> 00:12:23.529
it back in. Three straight hits off of Dick Hall

00:12:23.529 --> 00:12:25.509
and Walter Bond drives in the first run of the

00:12:25.509 --> 00:12:30.710
game. One to nothing Cleveland. Temple across

00:12:30.710 --> 00:12:35.250
the plate. Pearsall. One of the fastest was compelled

00:12:35.250 --> 00:12:37.649
to stop at second base on the strength of the

00:12:37.649 --> 00:12:40.669
good throwing arm of Hank Bauer and now here's

00:12:40.669 --> 00:12:45.919
Tito Francona the left fielder. Francona has

00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:50.399
four out of 14 in this young season. And already

00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.320
they're throwing in the Kansas City bullpen which

00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.399
is. Way beyond the center field fence. First

00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:01.059
and second. Nobody out a run in. The Indians

00:13:01.059 --> 00:13:04.740
lead the A's one to nothing. Outfield deep to

00:13:04.740 --> 00:13:09.679
the right for Francona. Out of play into the

00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:14.750
seats. Jack we're just. mentioning earlier that

00:13:14.750 --> 00:13:16.570
Bob Hall was a low ball pitcher when he was at

00:13:16.570 --> 00:13:19.509
his best. And these three base hits in this first

00:13:19.509 --> 00:13:21.950
inning have all come on pitches above the hitter's

00:13:21.950 --> 00:13:24.950
belt. I'm sure that this is one of the reasons

00:13:24.950 --> 00:13:27.210
that these fellows have hung out three solid

00:13:27.210 --> 00:13:29.289
line drives during the first inning. They all

00:13:29.289 --> 00:13:31.309
have been well hit. Frank Conner had 20 home

00:13:31.309 --> 00:13:35.070
runs last year. That's a good strike. That's

00:13:35.070 --> 00:13:38.190
two of them. Tito has something to say to Al

00:13:38.190 --> 00:13:41.590
Smith. He played umpire. Pierce on his second

00:13:41.590 --> 00:13:52.409
base. Walter Bond on at first. Nobody out on

00:13:52.409 --> 00:13:56.169
a run in. The nothing to pitch. It's a ball.

00:13:57.169 --> 00:14:04.350
One and two now. He's hoping for that double

00:14:04.350 --> 00:14:09.850
play to change the inning. Get the momentum going

00:14:09.850 --> 00:14:11.929
in the other direction. You see Sebring playing

00:14:11.929 --> 00:14:15.629
behind the runner at first. One ball two strikes

00:14:15.629 --> 00:14:19.220
and going to hit it on the screen. Getting some

00:14:19.220 --> 00:14:22.019
good cuts at this guy This fell is around the

00:14:22.019 --> 00:14:23.759
plate all the time and the hitter walks in there,

00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:26.820
especially after two or three base hits Momentum

00:14:26.820 --> 00:14:29.360
starts rolling for a ball club and each guy walks

00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:30.919
up there swings a little harder than the last

00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:34.980
There's a good view of the power -hitting Frank

00:14:34.980 --> 00:14:38.019
Conner with 20 home runs and 79 RBI is last year

00:14:38.019 --> 00:14:39.940
for the Indians looking for his first homer this

00:14:39.940 --> 00:14:45.220
year one ball two strikes a little off the pitch

00:14:45.220 --> 00:14:50.330
breaking ball runs account to tune to This is

00:14:50.330 --> 00:14:53.730
the second stop in our big league baseball parade.

00:14:54.370 --> 00:14:57.669
Last week we were fortunate enough to be able

00:14:57.669 --> 00:14:59.710
to show you Sam Jones one hitter and I wonder

00:14:59.710 --> 00:15:01.409
what's going to happen today. The Indians have

00:15:01.409 --> 00:15:03.669
gotten off to the good start. Having scored one

00:15:03.669 --> 00:15:09.009
already. Two men on. Nobody out. There's ball

00:15:09.009 --> 00:15:13.029
three. Three and two with nobody out and Dick

00:15:13.029 --> 00:15:16.450
Hall is getting in a peck of trouble. Harry Chidi

00:15:16.450 --> 00:15:28.929
goes to the mound. A worried man right at this

00:15:28.929 --> 00:15:30.750
point. We'll keep an eye on the runners for him.

00:15:30.990 --> 00:15:32.870
Pierce Hall on his second and Bond on his first

00:15:32.870 --> 00:15:34.730
and see if they're breaking with this 3 -2 pitch.

00:15:35.490 --> 00:15:44.990
There's nobody out. They're not going. Base is

00:15:44.990 --> 00:15:50.269
loaded. Nobody out. Ron Conner gets to first

00:15:50.269 --> 00:15:55.029
base the easy way. He's on first. Walter Bond

00:15:55.029 --> 00:15:57.860
is on his second. Piersol is on a third and Bob

00:15:57.860 --> 00:16:03.139
Elliott. Here's Bob at second base. Piersol talking

00:16:03.139 --> 00:16:05.639
to JoJo White and going to the mound to talk

00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:09.120
to his pitcher is the Kansas City manager Bob

00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:13.200
Elliott. I was anxious to get a chance to see

00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:16.100
Bob again as I did before the game today. Bob

00:16:16.100 --> 00:16:17.940
is back in the big leagues after some time away

00:16:17.940 --> 00:16:20.980
managed out at the Coastal League last year and

00:16:20.980 --> 00:16:23.480
I'm sure he's got a few things on his mind out

00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:25.740
there on the hill right now. Bob Trowbridge is

00:16:25.740 --> 00:16:29.659
still throwing out the bullpen. I'm sure that

00:16:29.659 --> 00:16:33.299
Elliot is now motioning for Trowbridge. So here

00:16:33.299 --> 00:16:35.700
in the first inning, Bob Hall had a little shaky

00:16:35.700 --> 00:16:39.320
start. He didn't retire a man. He gave us three

00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:45.679
hits. A walk. One run. I know he's saying to

00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.139
himself, Jack, that his big legs are just like

00:16:49.139 --> 00:16:52.059
I left them. They're rough to cope with. That's

00:16:52.059 --> 00:16:54.059
right, Colin. And gee, it hurts. There's a fellow

00:16:54.059 --> 00:16:55.740
who labored hard in the minor leagues trying

00:16:55.740 --> 00:16:59.779
to get another shot. Piled a fine record. High

00:16:59.779 --> 00:17:01.840
classification ball, and then worked hard this

00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:05.079
spring. Looking for his first start of the season,

00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:06.880
and he gets it. He gets nobody out here in the

00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:08.740
first inning. The Indians having score to run.

00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:12.240
On a double, two singles and a walk. Have the

00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:14.279
bases loaded, and here comes a Kansas City pitcher,

00:17:14.299 --> 00:17:17.279
and that's right in style. Man, well, yeah, I

00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.200
never talk about the good old days when I played

00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.109
ball, but I'll say this. It was a long walk from

00:17:22.109 --> 00:17:25.490
the bullpen when I used to come in. And early

00:17:25.490 --> 00:17:27.630
in my career I can recall my knees shaking a

00:17:27.630 --> 00:17:29.710
little bit on that long walk to the mound. I

00:17:29.710 --> 00:17:31.109
wonder if he's got the radio on listening to

00:17:31.109 --> 00:17:34.250
a little soothing music as he comes in. Or maybe

00:17:34.250 --> 00:17:37.710
he's listening to another ball game. Base is

00:17:37.710 --> 00:17:40.009
loaded and nobody out and it's a tough situation

00:17:40.009 --> 00:17:44.910
to inherit. With the Russ Nixon due to be the

00:17:44.910 --> 00:17:48.710
Cleveland batter. Well they didn't break any

00:17:48.710 --> 00:17:50.309
speed limits with their car that's for sure.

00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:52.940
I wonder what the speed limit is in the ballpark.

00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:55.819
There's a good shot of the Kansas City Ground

00:17:55.819 --> 00:17:59.299
Crew's artistic ability. They've used the chalk

00:17:59.299 --> 00:18:02.980
lines to draw baseballs and letters KC and so

00:18:02.980 --> 00:18:04.980
on. Here comes Bob Trowbridge now into your picture.

00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:12.759
Bob, incidentally, is a nice mullinger. He came

00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:16.099
over here to Kansas City and he also is a sinker

00:18:16.099 --> 00:18:18.700
ball pitcher. I know he'll be trying to get this.

00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:21.140
Next year he hit the ball on the ground. Could

00:18:21.140 --> 00:18:24.279
have been a reason, Jack, that they brought Trowbridge

00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:26.619
in. Paul was having trouble getting the ball

00:18:26.619 --> 00:18:29.720
down. There was no chance for an infield play

00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:32.619
or a double play. This may have influenced his

00:18:32.619 --> 00:18:35.319
program and brought Trowbridge. Well they called

00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:37.339
him last very long and here's Bob Trowbridge

00:18:37.339 --> 00:18:41.700
who last year for the past few years was at Milwaukee.

00:18:43.180 --> 00:18:44.980
So this afternoon we're dealing with a lot of

00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:47.440
former national leaguers and... When we check

00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.380
the athletics periodically, we'll be referring

00:18:49.380 --> 00:18:51.799
to the fact that he's a former Yankee, and when

00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:54.420
we deal with the Indians and consider the trading

00:18:54.420 --> 00:18:57.200
activities of Frank Lane, why the past records

00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:59.940
of these ballplayers will all turn out to be

00:18:59.940 --> 00:19:04.779
very interesting, I'm sure. Even the ballplayers

00:19:04.779 --> 00:19:06.720
were buzzing about some of the most recent trades.

00:19:07.059 --> 00:19:09.759
Now, ordinarily ballplayers don't talk too much

00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:12.019
about it. They're not too concerned, but the

00:19:12.019 --> 00:19:14.200
trades had such impact this past week that the

00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:16.049
Cleveland players were talking about them. Well,

00:19:16.150 --> 00:19:18.230
there were surprising trades and some big names

00:19:18.230 --> 00:19:22.470
involved. This makes for an uneasy feeling, Jack,

00:19:22.549 --> 00:19:25.150
if you're a ball player and you wonder whether

00:19:25.150 --> 00:19:27.849
you should send your laundry out or not. This

00:19:27.849 --> 00:19:31.910
prank caught on at first. Walter Bond running

00:19:31.910 --> 00:19:35.369
at second base. Here's all on a third. There's

00:19:35.369 --> 00:19:39.230
nobody out. One run in and the better is the

00:19:39.230 --> 00:19:46.299
Cleveland catcher, Russ Nixon. infield back the

00:19:46.299 --> 00:19:56.359
outfield deep and around to the right Nixon wasn't

00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:58.839
wasting any time Nixon you remember as a father

00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:01.500
that was involved in that trade between the Indians

00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:03.700
and the Red Sox with Sammy White being the other

00:20:03.700 --> 00:20:06.819
player and then white quit the deal was canceled

00:20:06.819 --> 00:20:08.579
and Nixon came back to Cleveland up there with

00:20:08.579 --> 00:20:17.150
the base it loaded one and one Hank Bauer is

00:20:17.150 --> 00:20:20.289
very deep and right. Will Tuttle to shade it

00:20:20.289 --> 00:20:22.309
over into right center. There's quite a gap in

00:20:22.309 --> 00:20:26.170
left center between Tuttle and Sir. One run in

00:20:26.170 --> 00:20:27.809
and the Indians leading. Basin loaded, nobody

00:20:27.809 --> 00:20:33.069
out. One on one to count. There's a double play

00:20:33.069 --> 00:20:54.500
ball. play yesterday to start double play. He

00:20:54.500 --> 00:20:56.339
looks like a sure bet. They're like shortstop.

00:21:07.740 --> 00:21:09.900
Cleveland first baseman he's gotten up to a pretty

00:21:09.900 --> 00:21:16.619
good start first and third now with two out.

00:21:16.740 --> 00:21:18.779
Sounds like the fans would like to see him strike

00:21:18.779 --> 00:21:23.799
out and what a job it will be. outfield deep

00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:30.359
straight away and feel back with two out. There's

00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.700
Pierce all on a third base. Frank Connors on

00:21:33.700 --> 00:21:36.519
at first in the dirt and a nice block by Katie.

00:21:37.579 --> 00:21:44.339
You didn't want to throw but the other runner

00:21:44.339 --> 00:21:49.180
went down to second base. Frank Connors goes

00:21:49.180 --> 00:21:52.630
to second on the wild pitch. Here's all game

00:21:52.630 --> 00:21:54.710
halfway down the line and Cheney did a tremendous

00:21:54.710 --> 00:21:56.609
job on that wild pitching that he blocked the

00:21:56.609 --> 00:21:59.450
ball and kept it out in front of him which is

00:21:59.450 --> 00:22:02.970
the big item that a catcher must contend with.

00:22:03.450 --> 00:22:06.049
Keep it out in front of you and control the situation.

00:22:07.130 --> 00:22:10.470
The count runs to one and one. Power hits one

00:22:10.470 --> 00:22:41.130
to third. Big hop. Nice play. Here's Quentin

00:22:41.130 --> 00:22:44.630
Reynolds, world famous reporter and author. I

00:22:44.630 --> 00:22:47.390
really got news for you. I'm here to give you

00:22:47.390 --> 00:22:49.750
a report on the slickest shave I ever got in

00:22:49.750 --> 00:22:52.829
my life. It's all due to this wonderful new Gillette

00:22:52.829 --> 00:22:55.789
super blue blade. They tell me that this blade

00:22:55.789 --> 00:22:58.869
is a result of years and years of research and

00:22:58.869 --> 00:23:01.609
I can well believe it because with this blade

00:23:01.609 --> 00:23:04.650
you scarcely know you're shaving. As a matter

00:23:04.650 --> 00:23:08.410
of fact, easy does it. Your razor all but floats

00:23:08.410 --> 00:23:11.150
across your face with this new Gillette Super

00:23:11.150 --> 00:23:14.009
Blue Blade. It's especially made for men like

00:23:14.009 --> 00:23:17.630
me with tough beards or tender skin. But you

00:23:17.630 --> 00:23:20.349
men with average skin and beard can expect comfort

00:23:20.349 --> 00:23:23.190
like you've never had before. But you really

00:23:23.190 --> 00:23:25.730
have to try it yourself to appreciate what I

00:23:25.730 --> 00:23:28.450
mean. Yes, give the Super Blue Blade a try. You're

00:23:28.450 --> 00:23:30.569
in for a new shaving experience with the Gillette

00:23:30.569 --> 00:23:33.609
Adjustable Razor, $1 .95, or a dispenser of 10...

00:23:33.690 --> 00:23:40.170
69 cents. Here's the Kansas City batting order.

00:23:40.269 --> 00:23:44.150
Bill Tuttle leading off. Terry Lumpy in second.

00:23:44.390 --> 00:23:51.490
Hank Bauer third. Norm Seaborn fourth. And Bob

00:23:51.490 --> 00:23:56.009
Serb. Harry Chidi. The catcher. Bob Johnson.

00:23:56.670 --> 00:23:59.089
Ken Hamlin batting eighth. And then Trowbridge

00:23:59.089 --> 00:24:01.369
who has come out in place of Paul. Barry Lampen

00:24:01.369 --> 00:24:04.079
the pitcher. All the White Sox about to throw

00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:13.059
his first pitch for the Indians. Slow. Tuttle

00:24:13.059 --> 00:24:15.200
has three out of 14 and outstanding defensive

00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:24.859
ballplayer. Another one down there ball to. Cleveland

00:24:24.859 --> 00:24:27.920
leading one to nothing. Temple double to start

00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:33.529
the game. The third on a base hit. By Pearsall

00:24:33.529 --> 00:24:36.829
and came home in a base hit by Walter Bond. Two

00:24:36.829 --> 00:24:43.210
balls, no strikes to count. Popped up. Should

00:24:43.210 --> 00:24:45.769
be easy. It's foul. The catcher is there. Nixon.

00:24:46.309 --> 00:24:48.430
Now power chases him away and makes the catch.

00:24:49.349 --> 00:24:51.869
Nixon was calling for it, but it's always easier

00:24:51.869 --> 00:24:53.390
for the first baseman than you'd like to see

00:24:53.390 --> 00:24:55.849
him chase that catcher off. gets a chance. That's

00:24:55.849 --> 00:24:58.329
right. Most of the time the first baseman is

00:24:58.329 --> 00:25:00.450
a better shot because he's coming in on the ball

00:25:00.450 --> 00:25:02.970
and not going away. The ball isn't going away

00:25:02.970 --> 00:25:05.789
from him. He's coming in to meet it. Here's Jerry

00:25:05.789 --> 00:25:08.769
Lumpy Jack ready to take his legs. Jerry Lumpy

00:25:08.769 --> 00:25:15.430
the second baseman. One out and nobody out. Good

00:25:15.430 --> 00:25:18.450
one. Up behind the first hitter and now gets

00:25:18.450 --> 00:25:25.829
ahead of Lumpy. Indians came up with three hits

00:25:25.829 --> 00:25:29.410
in that first inning. What a job that Trowbridge

00:25:29.410 --> 00:25:41.730
did. Out of play. Strike two. Now somebody got

00:25:41.730 --> 00:25:44.450
a souvenir there, Jack. Easy way. He's lounging

00:25:44.450 --> 00:25:47.650
up there in the grass. He picked up that baseball.

00:25:49.970 --> 00:25:55.619
No balls, two strikes. Youngster has a tough

00:25:55.619 --> 00:25:58.960
time to ballpark today Jack Outrooting all the

00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:02.079
adults that after a foul ball and they ruin $100

00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:08.220
suits $30 hats trying to get a 275 baseball One

00:26:08.220 --> 00:26:15.099
ball two strikes one out. Nobody got a lumpy

00:26:15.099 --> 00:26:21.859
Russ Nixon is the Cleveland catcher the plate

00:26:21.859 --> 00:26:25.240
umpire is Al Smith Barry Latman involved in the

00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:31.279
trade for her score. Ready to fire the 2 -2.

00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:37.759
Full count now. There's Hank Power, who already

00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:39.420
has been taken to the hearts of these Kansas

00:26:39.420 --> 00:26:45.019
City fans. He'll be up there next. Bring him

00:26:45.019 --> 00:27:01.019
to the count. The athletics are a run down. That's

00:27:01.019 --> 00:27:03.680
a high pop line to short right. Here comes Walter

00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:07.799
Bond on the run. Look out, he held it. Bond caught

00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:10.440
the ball. No, it was Power. Power caught the

00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:12.460
ball and Big Bond hit him from behind and he

00:27:12.460 --> 00:27:15.000
still held the ball. Duffel couldn't get in on

00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:19.220
the play. The ball was fair when it was caught.

00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:31.019
Power. Power taking a little time coming back

00:27:31.019 --> 00:27:33.220
to his position there at first base as Hank Bauer

00:27:33.220 --> 00:27:36.180
steps in. Banks are going to call time to see

00:27:36.180 --> 00:27:39.079
if power is shaking up at all. It's taking it

00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:42.839
very, very easy coming in. Looked as though he

00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:45.000
got stepped on in that shuffle down there. About

00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:46.579
three of them are trying to stand on the same

00:27:46.579 --> 00:27:50.339
spot under that ball. OK, he's all right. Back

00:27:50.339 --> 00:28:04.960
at his position and there are two out. One to

00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:08.839
nothing. The Indians lead the A's. Changed up

00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:10.700
on him and he fouled it on the screen. Evens

00:28:10.700 --> 00:28:13.799
a count one and one. I asked Hank around the

00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:15.599
batting gauge before the game if he made the

00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:18.480
deal to come to Kansas City or George Weiss.

00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:20.680
This is Hank's home and I know he's happy about

00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:26.700
being here. As much as he didn't miss out on

00:28:26.700 --> 00:28:29.759
the World Series money last year. Foul again.

00:28:30.900 --> 00:28:32.660
These A's have a rather formidable ball club.

00:28:35.309 --> 00:28:37.490
A couple of youngsters in the infield. There's

00:28:37.490 --> 00:28:46.009
Norm Seaborn waiting to hit next. One ball, two

00:28:46.009 --> 00:28:49.009
strikes to count. Barry Lattman breezing through

00:28:49.009 --> 00:29:10.150
this first inning. and down they go in order.

00:29:10.470 --> 00:29:13.750
Three up and three away in the first inning for

00:29:13.750 --> 00:29:17.390
the Kansas City Athletics. And so at the end

00:29:17.390 --> 00:29:19.230
of the first inning the score is Cleveland one

00:29:19.230 --> 00:29:56.529
and Kansas City nothing. Second inning of the

00:29:56.529 --> 00:29:59.710
ballgame. Kansas City Municipal Stadium, Harry

00:29:59.710 --> 00:30:03.069
Cheney the catcher. Bob Trowbridge on the mound.

00:30:05.420 --> 00:30:08.000
Mr. Woody Held gets ready to step in and start

00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:13.519
the second frame. See Al Smith, the plate umpire,

00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:17.380
uses that inflated chest protector. Woody Held,

00:30:17.539 --> 00:30:20.779
the shortstop, the batter. Very few of the umpires

00:30:20.779 --> 00:30:26.539
use the inflated job. Bob Trowbridge, first one

00:30:26.539 --> 00:30:30.140
here. It's a ball. I think you're finding the

00:30:30.140 --> 00:30:32.640
American like Jack they use this outside protector

00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:34.779
the most. Jocko Collins is the only guy I know

00:30:34.779 --> 00:30:39.960
in the national league that uses it. What he

00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:44.759
held takes another one low. He held at 29 home

00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:48.640
runs last year. Has none so far this year. Two

00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:55.200
hits out of 11 trips. Nobody on or out in the

00:30:55.200 --> 00:31:01.160
second inning. to get a breaking ball over on

00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:03.500
his behind and then the count to three and oh

00:31:03.500 --> 00:31:12.359
now. Nick Hall started got nobody out. Three

00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:18.859
and one. That's about the only time you see this

00:31:18.859 --> 00:31:21.460
foul throw went straight Jack is when he's he

00:31:21.460 --> 00:31:29.640
knows that the hitter is hitting. Red Cress is

00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:31.720
the first base coach for the Cleveland Club.

00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:35.259
And Joe Joe White on the other side of the diamond.

00:31:37.380 --> 00:31:41.059
Three and to the count. High and easy in the

00:31:41.059 --> 00:31:43.339
center field. Bill Tuttle going back. It's well

00:31:43.339 --> 00:31:48.519
hit. Not much more room. He's out. You can tell

00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:50.480
by watching Tuttle that he had the ball all the

00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:53.720
way but he couldn't have gone much further. The

00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:56.059
wind seems to be above the stands blowing very

00:31:56.059 --> 00:32:12.450
hard. Here's the third baseman, a former Chicago

00:32:12.450 --> 00:32:17.390
player, Bubba Phillips. On the screen and out

00:32:17.390 --> 00:32:26.599
of play. The power hitting of what he held Tito

00:32:26.599 --> 00:32:33.279
Francona, and they hope Walter Bond is one of

00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:35.940
the reasons why they were able to trade Colabito.

00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:39.000
They figured they had enough power. They're anxious

00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:41.259
to get a fellow like Harvey Keene, but unfortunately

00:32:41.259 --> 00:32:44.559
Keene is riding the bench with a bad leg. There's

00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:47.160
that base hit. Into left center. Let's see if

00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:50.559
he tries for two. Tuttle is up with it. No play.

00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:56.450
A base hit for Bubba Phillips. That's the fourth

00:32:56.450 --> 00:32:58.910
hit of the day for the Cleveland Club. Down there

00:32:58.910 --> 00:33:03.869
talking things over with Norm Seaburn. And the

00:33:03.869 --> 00:33:08.730
Cleveland pitcher will be the batter. One to

00:33:08.730 --> 00:33:10.349
nothing, Cleveland is leading this quarter run

00:33:10.349 --> 00:33:12.049
in the first. And in case you joined us late,

00:33:12.250 --> 00:33:14.809
Temple doubled. First all single him to third.

00:33:15.069 --> 00:33:17.130
Walter Byam drove in the run with a base hit.

00:33:17.250 --> 00:33:20.670
Then a walk to Frank Connott. And the starting

00:33:20.670 --> 00:33:25.250
pitcher, Dick Hall, was out of there. This is

00:33:25.250 --> 00:33:29.289
Lattman. He's going to bunt. Misses. No play

00:33:29.289 --> 00:33:32.109
at first. Cheney came up ready to throw, but

00:33:32.109 --> 00:33:34.490
Sebring was charging in. We were talking to Bob

00:33:34.490 --> 00:33:36.789
Elliott before about Sebring playing first base.

00:33:36.890 --> 00:33:38.710
It's a strange position for him. He's an outfielder.

00:33:38.809 --> 00:33:40.410
He played for a couple of weeks in spring training

00:33:40.410 --> 00:33:42.990
and played his first game at first base yesterday.

00:33:43.789 --> 00:33:46.549
And these are the situations of which he is unsure

00:33:46.549 --> 00:33:49.289
when to charge in, when to hold the runner close

00:33:49.289 --> 00:33:52.269
and so forth. There's a bunt that's fair if Cheney

00:33:52.269 --> 00:33:58.579
picks it up and whoa, he's out. It appeared that

00:33:58.579 --> 00:34:00.920
Chidi in order not to hit the runner tried to

00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:03.160
lob the ball and not throw it with a good stuff

00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:05.960
on it to first base. This is a sure way to throw

00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:10.340
a ball away. Lumpy was the man who covered. Phillips

00:34:10.340 --> 00:34:12.280
goes down into scoring position when coming out

00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:15.780
of the top of the batting order. And here's the

00:34:15.780 --> 00:34:17.639
guy that started it all in the first inning Johnny

00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:20.260
Temple. Doubled in the first and has scored the

00:34:20.260 --> 00:34:27.250
only run of the game. With two men out. Bob Trowbridge

00:34:27.250 --> 00:34:36.769
is the pitcher. In the dirt. You can see the

00:34:36.769 --> 00:34:39.809
difference. Trowbridge keeping the ball down.

00:34:40.449 --> 00:34:42.550
As compared to Dick Hall the starting pitcher.

00:34:44.170 --> 00:34:46.969
That's Phillips. Right. This club has about five

00:34:46.969 --> 00:34:51.650
or six sinker ball pitchers. Strike gets the

00:34:51.650 --> 00:34:53.750
ball. One and one. I was talking to Harry Chidi

00:34:53.750 --> 00:34:56.730
indeed. He's got you before the game. He said

00:34:56.730 --> 00:34:58.630
a sinker ball pitch is very effective in this

00:34:58.630 --> 00:35:00.190
park because everybody goes up there pumping

00:35:00.190 --> 00:35:02.329
for that short lead field. Three thirty down

00:35:02.329 --> 00:35:05.369
the line. A rather easy park to hit home run.

00:35:06.309 --> 00:35:08.429
Sinker ball artists cause them to beat the ball

00:35:08.429 --> 00:35:09.929
in the ground when they're swinging from the

00:35:09.929 --> 00:35:18.650
heel. So one ball one strike count. Used to go

00:35:18.650 --> 00:35:21.230
into st. Louis Jack when Jerry Staley was pitching

00:35:21.230 --> 00:35:23.389
and I think they I think they went down that

00:35:23.389 --> 00:35:50.630
infield pretty good in front of the plate One

00:35:50.630 --> 00:35:54.449
ball, two strikes, and it's two and two. Johnny

00:35:54.449 --> 00:35:57.250
was lamenting the fact that it's rough to be

00:35:57.250 --> 00:35:58.730
traded to the other league. It's one thing to

00:35:58.730 --> 00:36:00.570
be traded within the league, but when you go

00:36:00.570 --> 00:36:02.050
to the other league, you lose all the knowledge

00:36:02.050 --> 00:36:03.710
of the pitches that you've gained if you're a

00:36:03.710 --> 00:36:07.329
student of the game as Temple is. He uses the

00:36:07.329 --> 00:36:09.969
reverse of most fellas. Big hitters for power

00:36:09.969 --> 00:36:12.789
use light bats. Johnny, who swings not too hard,

00:36:12.909 --> 00:36:15.190
uses a very heavy bat, somewhere near 40 ounces

00:36:15.190 --> 00:36:19.230
on occasions. Just pecks that ball. There's one

00:36:19.230 --> 00:36:21.650
to the second baseman. Lumpy charges it, gets

00:36:21.650 --> 00:36:27.070
the big hop. Temple is thrown out by Lumpy to

00:36:27.070 --> 00:36:29.829
Seaburn. No runs, one hit. No errors, and one

00:36:29.829 --> 00:36:32.909
man left on base. And so at the end of an inning

00:36:32.909 --> 00:36:35.789
and a half, the score is Cleveland 1, Kansas

00:36:35.789 --> 00:36:47.750
City nothing. I've had my eye on you all night.

00:36:48.110 --> 00:36:53.050
I kinda dig you too But I don't dig the shaves

00:36:53.050 --> 00:36:59.010

a dollar ninety -five. Seaborn has gotten off

00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:56.320
to a terrific start hitting 400 with four out

00:37:56.320 --> 00:38:00.780
of ten two homers. He undertook a conditioning

00:38:00.780 --> 00:38:02.860
program during the off season and has paid off.

00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:06.079
He's at a real hot spring. Outfield deep and

00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:11.400
around on the right. Ball two. Nixon started

00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:16.519
to chase it. New one goes to the mouth. I think

00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:18.639
players Jack realized more than ever that there's

00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:21.559
really no off season anymore. That's man should

00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:28.059
stay in shape the year round. All three three

00:38:28.059 --> 00:38:31.920
and all. Bob serve will hit next. You'll be followed

00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:35.659
by Harry Chidi. He's got quite a bit of power.

00:38:36.659 --> 00:38:40.460
Bauer Seaborn serve and Chidi all capable of.

00:38:40.539 --> 00:38:44.519
Hitting the ball out with regularity. That means

00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:55.420
three nothing. in blue Jack. Never been wrong

00:38:55.420 --> 00:39:05.380
yet. Three balls and a strike. About that one

00:39:05.380 --> 00:39:11.320
ball. Well there's the first baserunner. Seaburn

00:39:11.320 --> 00:39:35.849
is wearing those big. Airplane. Bob Serb. He

00:39:35.849 --> 00:39:38.550
belted one here yesterday. They say if you get

00:39:38.550 --> 00:39:40.449
the ball up and serves eyes while you're headed

00:39:40.449 --> 00:39:42.590
for trouble because he has a lot of power in

00:39:42.590 --> 00:39:47.130
that high pitch. First baseman power is holding

00:39:47.130 --> 00:39:52.469
Seaman close. One and one. Here's a fellow Jack

00:39:52.469 --> 00:39:55.090
I don't believe I've seen a ballplayer this year.

00:39:55.530 --> 00:39:57.409
any other year for that matter. It's in any better

00:39:57.409 --> 00:40:00.329
shape than serve. This fella is hard as nails.

00:40:00.750 --> 00:40:05.650
Watch him swing that bat. He has three out of

00:40:05.650 --> 00:40:10.050
eight so far, for the season. See him in a short

00:40:10.050 --> 00:40:19.010
lead. Two balls and a strike. Served last year

00:40:19.010 --> 00:40:25.139
had 20 home runs. 87 RBI's. Lattmann slowing

00:40:25.139 --> 00:40:37.500
down a little bit. Two balls and a strike. Hit

00:40:37.500 --> 00:40:39.219
it off the end of the bat and it looks like it's

00:40:39.219 --> 00:40:42.780
going to drop. It does. See when it stops at

00:40:42.780 --> 00:40:45.059
second. Hit that one right off the end of the

00:40:45.059 --> 00:40:49.239
bat. When the fellow like serve swings the bat.

00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:52.019
and connects the outfielders instinctively start

00:40:52.019 --> 00:40:53.960
to break back when he takes a full swing like

00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:56.280
he did there. When it's off the end of the bat

00:40:56.280 --> 00:40:58.420
they oftentimes miss that step coming in on the

00:40:58.420 --> 00:41:08.340
ball. You know this serve is kind of a hitter.

00:41:08.460 --> 00:41:11.500
You hear fellas say Jack that he's a wrist hitter

00:41:11.500 --> 00:41:15.659
like Ernie Banks or Hank Aaron. This guy is a

00:41:15.659 --> 00:41:19.260
muscle hitter. He hits with his muscles. We had

00:41:19.260 --> 00:41:23.380
a close up look at Seabourn. And serve and now

00:41:23.380 --> 00:41:25.300
here's the catcher Harry Chidi who has four out

00:41:25.300 --> 00:41:29.059
of twelve so far. Indian infield looking for

00:41:29.059 --> 00:41:35.039
the double play ball. Ball one. Boy that ball

00:41:35.039 --> 00:41:36.760
was just in the weathering of that catching glove.

00:41:46.349 --> 00:41:49.150
That man's a pretty big fellow at six three ways

00:41:49.150 --> 00:41:52.289
to ten. One eight and lost five for the White

00:41:52.289 --> 00:41:55.250
Sox last year. One ball no strikes to count.

00:41:55.409 --> 00:42:02.949
There's nobody out here. That man thought he

00:42:02.949 --> 00:42:07.650
had a strike on that one. Cleveland is leading

00:42:07.650 --> 00:42:11.030
one to nothing scored around the first. And they

00:42:11.030 --> 00:42:13.130
were blanked in the second days after going down

00:42:13.130 --> 00:42:15.309
in order in the first inning. Started with a

00:42:15.309 --> 00:42:20.719
walk to Siebert. And a base hit by Bob Serve.

00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:25.659
And it's two balls and no strikes to Harry Chidi.

00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:32.820
Foul on the screen. Not much room to chase the

00:42:32.820 --> 00:42:36.380
foul balls here. Grandstand rather close to the

00:42:36.380 --> 00:42:52.579
playing field. Two balls and a strike. Three

00:42:52.579 --> 00:43:04.400
and one. GD was out and now he gets back in.

00:43:09.699 --> 00:43:11.480
Nobody out here on the bottom of the second as

00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:13.139
the A's threaten to get back in the ballgame

00:43:13.139 --> 00:43:15.719
trailing one to nothing. Gillette bringing in

00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:18.159
the ballgame from Kansas City. Jack Buck here

00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:26.400
along with Carl Erskine. 3 and 1. Popped up foul

00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:34.400
and out of play. 3 and 2 now. Can't give up on

00:43:34.400 --> 00:43:36.719
those pop flies too soon Jack because of the

00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:39.440
wind blowing above the stands. Sometimes carries

00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:41.860
that ball back in. Nixon kept a good eye on it

00:43:41.860 --> 00:43:43.659
all the way. There's Don Hefner coaching it.

00:43:43.789 --> 00:43:46.989
third base for these athletics. Oh Walker Cooper

00:43:46.989 --> 00:43:51.769
at first. Three and two the count. I wonder if

00:43:51.769 --> 00:43:53.530
the runners will be moving with nobody out to

00:43:53.530 --> 00:43:57.630
try to avoid the double play. A lot of factors

00:43:57.630 --> 00:43:59.730
enter into the decision which has to be made

00:43:59.730 --> 00:44:02.809
by Bob Elliott. He's a trailing one to nothing

00:44:02.809 --> 00:44:10.309
here early in the game. To consider who's running

00:44:10.309 --> 00:44:13.469
who's coming up next. He strikes out very often.

00:44:14.250 --> 00:44:17.469
The speed of the base runners. A lot of factors.

00:44:18.710 --> 00:44:20.849
Nobody out. Runners on it first and second. Three

00:44:20.849 --> 00:44:27.829
and two the count. They're not going. That's

00:44:27.829 --> 00:44:30.989
hit foul. They really smashed that one. Chase

00:44:30.989 --> 00:44:32.389
them off the bench down there in the Cleveland

00:44:32.389 --> 00:44:42.539
bullpen. Still three and two. See these bullpens

00:44:42.539 --> 00:44:44.880
in the spring. They have about 15, 20 players

00:44:44.880 --> 00:44:47.619
down there it seems like. Comes cut down date.

00:44:48.059 --> 00:44:51.860
They really fit them out. Chudy had five home

00:44:51.860 --> 00:44:54.400
runs last year for the A's. To give you an idea

00:44:54.400 --> 00:45:17.590
of the power. There's a Micah throw. A couple

00:45:17.590 --> 00:45:20.269
of singles in the ballgame tied. Serve stopped

00:45:20.269 --> 00:45:23.789
at second. Left fielder Frank Connick could make

00:45:23.789 --> 00:45:28.769
no play. Sebring scored. It's tied one to one

00:45:28.769 --> 00:45:36.489
and here's Bob Johnson. Bob Johnson the third

00:45:36.489 --> 00:45:49.320
baseman. Nobody out. Ball game tied. Latman seems

00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:51.460
to be having trouble with his curve ball. He's

00:45:51.460 --> 00:45:54.119
hung the ball up in the, up around the shoulders,

00:45:54.260 --> 00:45:58.179
up around the eyes two or three times. Got in

00:45:58.179 --> 00:46:02.179
trouble pitching to Seaburn by throwing two curve

00:46:02.179 --> 00:46:13.820
balls for the boss. Pitch from Latman and it

00:46:13.820 --> 00:46:26.630
is a strike. First and second here nobody out.

00:46:26.869 --> 00:46:32.250
Last of the second score tied one to one. With

00:46:32.250 --> 00:46:34.750
Cheney getting the RBI. Bond had the run vetted

00:46:34.750 --> 00:46:40.329
in for Cleveland. Here's the play to first. Made

00:46:40.329 --> 00:46:53.030
it pretty close. Big power playing behind the

00:46:53.030 --> 00:46:58.000
runner and trying to sneak in there. Double play

00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:05.280
ball perhaps. Out there. First and third now.

00:47:08.519 --> 00:47:13.260
The ball wasn't sharply hit. Bubba Phillips started

00:47:13.260 --> 00:47:16.219
to play at third base. Bob Johnson reaches on

00:47:16.219 --> 00:47:19.679
the Bueller's choice. He was forced to second

00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:23.480
and serve went to third. And here's the shortstop

00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:28.769
of the athletics. Ken Hamlin. Formerly in the

00:47:28.769 --> 00:47:30.670
Pirate Organization last year played in Columbus

00:47:30.670 --> 00:47:38.090
Ohio. First and third with one out. Score tied.

00:47:38.289 --> 00:47:41.090
That's right. Well that Nixon really moves around

00:47:41.090 --> 00:47:43.570
behind that plate. Down the move all the time.

00:47:44.989 --> 00:47:46.690
We talked about Darrell Rice last week being

00:47:46.690 --> 00:47:49.989
a good shifting catcher and Nixon taking a page

00:47:49.989 --> 00:47:53.050
out of Darrell Rice's book. Ships on everything.

00:48:01.840 --> 00:48:03.880
At least the fly ball to drive in the tie breaking

00:48:03.880 --> 00:48:08.179
run. Foul on the screen. Trying to go into right

00:48:08.179 --> 00:48:12.699
field with it. Strike two. I'll bet Barry Linton

00:48:12.699 --> 00:48:14.599
hasn't set up for the strikeout which he'd like

00:48:14.599 --> 00:48:22.900
to get. The pitch is due to hit next. Sun trying

00:48:22.900 --> 00:48:27.139
to break through here in Kansas City. Windy overcast

00:48:27.139 --> 00:48:30.500
day. Third serve on the third base. Johnson on

00:48:30.500 --> 00:48:52.969
it first. is still throwing in the bullpen. Might

00:48:52.969 --> 00:48:56.309
have a play at the plate as the center fielder

00:48:56.309 --> 00:48:59.010
Pierce Hall is there. Serb tags up. Here he comes.

00:48:59.010 --> 00:49:04.650
There's the throw and he goes back. Went back

00:49:04.650 --> 00:49:07.909
to third base. The ball was not hit very deep

00:49:07.909 --> 00:49:12.369
at all. You could tell the way Serb came down

00:49:12.369 --> 00:49:14.050
the line watching the outfielder that he was

00:49:14.050 --> 00:49:30.280
not intent on trying to. So Hamlin couldn't get

00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:32.039
the fly ball and the runners are still on it

00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:33.960
first and third with two out now and left with

00:49:33.960 --> 00:49:35.679
just about out of the inning which started off

00:49:35.679 --> 00:49:37.480
in rough fashion for him with a walk and two

00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:42.199
singles. And now here is Trowbridge. I don't

00:49:42.199 --> 00:49:44.099
recall him being too formidable with that bat.

00:49:44.719 --> 00:49:47.559
He takes his swings up there. He's respectable

00:49:47.559 --> 00:49:53.840
for a pitcher. Strike one. And the last of the

00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:56.659
second is a score to run here and tied the game

00:49:56.659 --> 00:50:32.579
one to one. Nixon wasn't aware he'd missed the

00:50:32.579 --> 00:50:34.800
ball and hit in his glove squirted through and

00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:38.079
rolled behind him. And this is the break serve

00:50:38.079 --> 00:50:40.559
got it making it because Nixon didn't jump on

00:50:40.559 --> 00:50:42.860
that ball it got behind in a hurry. He wasn't

00:50:42.860 --> 00:50:46.139
sure it had. Count goes to one and one on Trowbridge

00:50:46.139 --> 00:50:49.000
with Johnson on its second down two out. That

00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:54.619
might be trouble. He got him. Would have been

00:50:54.619 --> 00:50:56.199
trouble but Trowbridge doesn't run very well.

00:50:56.519 --> 00:50:58.340
Jumple made the play and that's the end of the

00:50:58.340 --> 00:51:28.139
second inning for the Athletics. Dependable.

00:51:28.320 --> 00:51:30.949
Yeah. Yes, you can depend on a Papermate. Papermate

00:51:30.949 --> 00:51:33.650
is the pen that positively won't skip, even writes

00:51:33.650 --> 00:51:36.670
over butter. Papermate is the pen that's guaranteed,

00:51:37.070 --> 00:51:39.309
unconditionally guaranteed. If your Papermate

00:51:39.309 --> 00:51:42.730
doesn't perform, we'll replace it. And only Papermate

00:51:42.730 --> 00:51:45.849
gives you a choice of skip -free refills. Standard,

00:51:46.170 --> 00:51:48.730
famous piggyback with two points, two ink supplies,

00:51:49.150 --> 00:51:51.989
or the new Texas refill with a jumbo ink supply.

00:51:52.510 --> 00:51:54.809
Look for this display of dependable Papermate

00:51:54.809 --> 00:52:13.719
pens and refills at stores everywhere. The sun

00:52:13.719 --> 00:52:15.820
has broken through here at Kansas City, as you

00:52:15.820 --> 00:52:17.840
can see from the shadows on the field, as Bob

00:52:17.840 --> 00:52:21.420
Trowbridge came on and did a fine job in relief.

00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:25.559
Now has been staked to a one -run lead as the

00:52:25.559 --> 00:52:29.280
third inning. gets underway. Harry Chidi there

00:52:29.280 --> 00:52:32.780
and the Indians number two hitter in their lineup.

00:52:33.340 --> 00:52:35.760
Jimmy Pearsall. He single his first time up and

00:52:35.760 --> 00:52:42.800
was left down. They play straight away for him.

00:52:43.500 --> 00:52:50.300
Strong wind blowing out toward left. It's popped

00:52:50.300 --> 00:53:01.159
up. It's foul. Seabron chasing it. A play like

00:53:01.159 --> 00:53:04.380
that is put to the discretion of the official

00:53:04.380 --> 00:53:06.900
scorer as to whether or not the fielder should

00:53:06.900 --> 00:53:09.559
be charged with an error. In that case they said

00:53:09.559 --> 00:53:12.820
no. No play. That wasn't an easy chance. The

00:53:12.820 --> 00:53:15.000
ball was going away from him and he was running

00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:19.719
toward the stands. Seaman playing a strange position

00:53:19.719 --> 00:53:21.800
down there at first base as we've told you earlier.

00:53:21.980 --> 00:53:26.860
Normally an outfielder. The count is one strike

00:53:26.860 --> 00:53:41.619
to Jim Pearsall. play. The ball is two strikes.

00:53:41.760 --> 00:53:43.360
Nobody on her out here in the third inning with

00:53:43.360 --> 00:53:45.440
Kansas City leading two to one. The Indians looking

00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:49.119
for their first win of the year. Pretty ballpark

00:53:49.119 --> 00:53:52.139
here as you can tell. You look around following

00:53:52.139 --> 00:53:58.300
the progress of this contest. One ball two strikes.

00:53:59.579 --> 00:54:01.659
Jack Buck here along with Karl Erskine and Gillette

00:54:01.659 --> 00:54:07.960
bringing you the ball game from Kansas City.

00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:21.739
First all hits another foul. Well next week we'll

00:54:21.739 --> 00:54:24.579
be able to talk about the Dodgers and the Giants.

00:54:24.639 --> 00:54:27.340
It'll be good to see the Dodgers again. That's

00:54:27.340 --> 00:54:29.219
right. I'll see all my old buddies out there

00:54:29.219 --> 00:54:31.280
and it'll be a little difficult for me to take

00:54:31.280 --> 00:54:33.940
a neutral position up here in this booth, Jack.

00:54:34.000 --> 00:54:40.480
You'd better. Carl Oisken. One ball, two strikes,

00:54:40.659 --> 00:54:43.619
curve ball, two and two. This trouble shows a

00:54:43.619 --> 00:54:46.460
knuckler once in a while. Occasionally, usually

00:54:46.460 --> 00:54:50.300
when he's ahead of the batter. My old friends

00:54:50.300 --> 00:54:52.579
in Brooklyn says there comes Oisken from Ft.

00:54:52.719 --> 00:54:56.909
Wythe. Two and to the count and first saw hits

00:54:56.909 --> 00:54:59.769
one down the line. There's trouble. Nice play

00:54:59.769 --> 00:55:04.949
by sir. Awesome to a single. Here's all gets

00:55:04.949 --> 00:55:09.329
his second hit. I imagine Mr. Keane is mentioning

00:55:09.329 --> 00:55:12.190
a bit on the bench. I wonder if he will get back

00:55:12.190 --> 00:55:17.329
in the lineup with that leg heel. That was hit

00:55:17.329 --> 00:55:21.929
number five. For Cleveland. Here's Walter Bond.

00:55:22.070 --> 00:55:26.219
He drove in there running the first inning. You

00:55:26.219 --> 00:55:28.280
know, people wonder why they have six weeks of

00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:30.780
spring training, spend a lot of money, and take

00:55:30.780 --> 00:55:32.699
these fellows down in the warm sunshine. But

00:55:32.699 --> 00:55:37.340
there's a good example of Harvey Keene, who I

00:55:37.340 --> 00:55:40.500
think reported late this year and then came up

00:55:40.500 --> 00:55:46.139
with an injury. First pitch was a strike to Bond.

00:55:48.119 --> 00:55:49.679
I'll be aware out of the right deep, they have

00:55:49.679 --> 00:55:52.599
to keep their eye on Prisock. We're gonna run

00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:57.900
those bases. Foul. This fella swings from the

00:55:57.900 --> 00:56:02.920
hill. Makes it strike two. How would you throw

00:56:02.920 --> 00:56:08.239
him now, Tom? Well, uh, maybe he should throw

00:56:08.239 --> 00:56:11.940
this one under the plate. With two strikes. Those

00:56:11.940 --> 00:56:14.460
managers jump up and down on that bench when

00:56:14.460 --> 00:56:17.099
they hit a two -strike pitch. They really scream.

00:56:17.199 --> 00:56:20.199
It's no balls, two strikes. Sebring holding the

00:56:20.199 --> 00:56:22.519
runner close. A lot of room for the right side

00:56:22.519 --> 00:56:26.480
for the left -handed batter. Nobody out here.

00:56:26.559 --> 00:56:30.139
Wasted that one. The A's leading the Indians

00:56:30.139 --> 00:56:39.639
2 -1 at the end of 2. The base hit you just witnessed

00:56:39.639 --> 00:56:41.880
off the bat of Pearsaw was hit number 1 ,000

00:56:41.880 --> 00:56:46.099
for Jim in his big league career. Bond pops it

00:56:46.099 --> 00:56:49.099
foul and it's going to be near the stands. Johnson

00:56:49.099 --> 00:56:51.320
chasing it, the wind moving it, and he baffled

00:56:51.320 --> 00:56:55.449
but couldn't get it. Went a long way after the

00:56:55.449 --> 00:56:56.829
ball and started off like it was going to be

00:56:56.829 --> 00:56:58.829
way out of play. And then the wind, which Carl

00:56:58.829 --> 00:57:00.289
pointed out to you earlier, the fact that you

00:57:00.289 --> 00:57:03.989
can't give up on a ball. Then he brought the

00:57:03.989 --> 00:57:06.110
ball back in, but Johnson couldn't catch up to

00:57:06.110 --> 00:57:12.489
it. It's still one and two to Walter Bond. Something

00:57:12.489 --> 00:57:14.469
exists here now that you can see very well in

00:57:14.469 --> 00:57:17.849
your picture. A shadow at the plate and the bright

00:57:17.849 --> 00:57:20.719
sunshine at the mound. This is a makes it difficult

00:57:20.719 --> 00:57:22.659
at the plate to see and as the game progresses

00:57:22.659 --> 00:57:25.239
I think this shadow will eventually move on out

00:57:25.239 --> 00:57:29.820
past the mound one ball two strikes He's in here

00:57:29.820 --> 00:57:31.619
looking for the double play the outfielders are

00:57:31.619 --> 00:57:35.300
all deep First all started with a single he's

00:57:35.300 --> 00:57:42.659
not first nobody out Well hit You can tell why

00:57:42.659 --> 00:57:45.880
the Indians like this guy Walter bond is big

00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:50.750
about six five well over 200 pounds He really

00:57:50.750 --> 00:57:53.909
swings that toothpick. Looks like a toothpick

00:57:53.909 --> 00:57:59.969
in his hands up there. He spreads out the plate

00:57:59.969 --> 00:58:06.530
almost as wide as the box is marked off. Trubridge

00:58:06.530 --> 00:58:12.909
calls time once to get together with Cheney.

00:58:19.949 --> 00:58:22.150
Oh, by the way, this guy's a pretty good hitter.

00:58:22.170 --> 00:58:27.329
Better cover what you throw. Everyone wonders,

00:58:27.409 --> 00:58:29.730
what do they talk about on the mound? They don't

00:58:29.730 --> 00:58:32.050
always joke, but quite often it's a case of breaking

00:58:32.050 --> 00:58:34.809
a little tension out there, putting the pitcher's

00:58:34.809 --> 00:58:37.690
mind at ease, and occasionally they'll throw

00:58:37.690 --> 00:58:40.210
in a little gem of a suggestion of how you might

00:58:40.210 --> 00:58:44.150
get the hitter out. One ball, two strikes to

00:58:44.150 --> 00:58:57.059
count. Nobody out here. throw a bridge writes

00:58:57.059 --> 00:58:59.400
up his first strikeout first all still on a first

00:58:59.400 --> 00:59:03.139
base and here's the number four hitter in the

00:59:03.139 --> 00:59:13.139
Indian lineup left fielder Tito Francona he walked

00:59:13.139 --> 00:59:27.460
his first time up of the right deep for this

00:59:27.460 --> 00:59:31.119
fellow. He really blossomed into quite a hitter

00:59:31.119 --> 00:59:36.179
last year. Ball two and it doesn't pay to get

00:59:36.179 --> 00:59:46.739
behind these fellows. Pearsall singled and Bond

00:59:46.739 --> 00:59:48.980
struck out. That's what's happened so far here

00:59:48.980 --> 00:59:52.820
in the third inning. Kansas City leading Cleveland

00:59:52.820 --> 00:59:57.599
two to one although. Out hit five to two. Trying

00:59:57.599 --> 01:00:00.000
to throw a breaking ball. Two and all and runs

01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:07.559
it to three and all. Three balls, no strikes.

01:00:10.400 --> 01:00:12.719
And it wouldn't be too surprising when the runner

01:00:12.719 --> 01:00:16.699
on base, Pearsall, see Frank Kona chop down on

01:00:16.699 --> 01:00:22.519
this three -nothing pitch. Ball for him. Trowbridge

01:00:22.519 --> 01:00:27.110
gives up his first walk. Frank Conner goes to

01:00:27.110 --> 01:00:33.389
first. Red Crest is the coach. And here's the

01:00:33.389 --> 01:00:35.050
Cleveland catcher who hit into a double play

01:00:35.050 --> 01:00:41.110
in the first inning. Very solid second base.

01:00:45.349 --> 01:00:51.130
Russ Nixon is the batter. Pops it up. It's foul.

01:00:51.250 --> 01:00:53.329
Johnson chasing it near the stands. Looks like

01:00:53.329 --> 01:01:00.650
he's going to have a play. He's failed with men

01:01:00.650 --> 01:01:08.690
on base twice. So it's two on, two out. Here's

01:01:08.690 --> 01:01:32.960
the old Kansas City favorite coming up. Two on

01:01:32.960 --> 01:01:35.619
and two out. Tang run is on his second base for

01:01:35.619 --> 01:02:04.409
the Indians. Bob Trowbridge the pitcher. his

01:02:04.409 --> 01:02:07.530
first time up the third baseman threw him out.

01:02:08.849 --> 01:02:10.670
Everybody else saying action this afternoon.

01:02:11.769 --> 01:02:13.230
At the end of this inning we'll be able to give

01:02:13.230 --> 01:02:19.110
you all the scores of all the games. Couple of

01:02:19.110 --> 01:02:25.829
the ballgames are over. Not too big a crowd on

01:02:25.829 --> 01:02:30.050
this Saturday afternoon in Kansas City. He's

01:02:30.050 --> 01:02:33.579
played their home opener yesterday. Power hits

01:02:33.579 --> 01:02:44.239
another foul and out of play. Yes sir, next week

01:02:44.239 --> 01:02:47.039
on big league baseball, the Dodgers and the Giants.

01:02:48.139 --> 01:02:51.360
When those two get together, there's bound to

01:02:51.360 --> 01:03:00.539
be some action. That's low. Count runs to two

01:03:00.539 --> 01:03:18.800
and two on Power. Two balls, two strikes to count.

01:04:09.289 --> 01:04:12.929
when I think we all know. How are you fixed for

01:04:12.929 --> 01:04:18.170
blades? How are you fixed for blades? Please

01:04:18.170 --> 01:04:22.110
make sure you have enough. Cause a worn out blade

01:04:22.110 --> 01:04:25.269
makes shaving mighty tough. How are you fixed

01:04:25.269 --> 01:04:32.449
for blades? Gillette blue blades I mean. That's

01:04:32.449 --> 01:04:35.170
for me. Gillette blue blades and my new Gillette

01:04:35.170 --> 01:04:37.949
adjustable razor. There's a real swinging combination.

01:04:38.360 --> 01:04:40.860
And now Gillette has a super blue blade that

01:04:40.860 --> 01:04:43.500
gives you clean easy shaves never before possible.

01:04:43.760 --> 01:04:45.980
And it fits any Gillette razor you may have.

01:04:46.360 --> 01:04:53.320
A dispenser of 10 costs 69 cents. Let's see what

01:04:53.320 --> 01:04:56.960
the athletics do in the third inning here. They

01:04:56.960 --> 01:04:59.039
start with the top of the batting order. The

01:04:59.039 --> 01:05:04.360
center fielder, Bill Tuttle. Curve ball in there.

01:05:05.139 --> 01:05:42.119
He fouled out his first time. Phillips to power.

01:05:47.539 --> 01:05:50.199
One man gone here. Lappman breezed through the

01:05:50.199 --> 01:05:51.980
first inning and then got in trouble in the second.

01:05:52.000 --> 01:05:53.860
Started it with a walk and then two singles.

01:05:54.960 --> 01:05:56.900
Chibi drove in a run and then a pass ball allowed

01:05:56.900 --> 01:06:01.440
another run. Jerry Lumpy here popped to the first

01:06:01.440 --> 01:06:04.119
base for his first time. It's a foul near the

01:06:04.119 --> 01:06:09.559
stands and out of play. Phillips chasing over.

01:06:19.500 --> 01:06:21.739
One strike to count. Latman wants a new baseball.

01:06:25.099 --> 01:06:29.500
The Latman score trade. Seemed to bring about

01:06:29.500 --> 01:06:34.599
the opinion of everybody that was good for both

01:06:34.599 --> 01:06:37.780
ball clubs. Opinion still divided of course.

01:06:39.280 --> 01:06:43.699
On the Colavito Harvey Keene trade. One ball

01:06:43.699 --> 01:08:55.100
one strike to Jerry Lumpy. Bauer strikes out

01:08:55.100 --> 01:08:58.640
for the second time and he's been the only athletic

01:08:58.640 --> 01:09:02.960
victimized by Latvian. Bumper gets a new supply

01:09:02.960 --> 01:09:06.359
of baseballs. And here's a fellow that started

01:09:06.359 --> 01:09:08.520
the rally in the second inning by drawing a walk.

01:09:10.539 --> 01:09:26.699
First baseman, Norm Siebert. Two men gone. The

01:09:26.699 --> 01:09:29.659
turn is thrown out by Johnny Temple. Bumpy got

01:09:29.659 --> 01:09:33.979
a hit in the inning. No runs, one hit, no errors.

01:09:35.020 --> 01:09:37.279
One man left on base and so the score at the

01:09:37.279 --> 01:09:39.380
end of three innings is the Athletics two, the

01:09:39.380 --> 01:09:42.819
Indians one. It's time now for our stations to

01:09:42.819 --> 01:09:46.600
identify themselves. We pause for station identification.

01:09:49.319 --> 01:09:51.720
You're invited to Lawrence Welk's dancing party,

01:09:51.920 --> 01:09:54.729
an hour of lilting champagne music tonight. on

01:09:54.729 --> 01:10:04.369
the ABC television network. Okay, let's look

01:10:04.369 --> 01:10:06.409
at some scores of some of the other ballgames

01:10:06.409 --> 01:10:08.810
as this one goes into the fourth. Detroit won

01:10:08.810 --> 01:10:11.130
another, defeating Chicago 6 to 2. Larry the

01:10:11.130 --> 01:10:14.789
winner over Pierce. And Boston won out over Washington

01:10:14.789 --> 01:10:17.170
8 to 3. Fornelli is against Passball. There's

01:10:17.170 --> 01:10:18.770
the other score. The Yankees leading Baltimore

01:10:18.770 --> 01:10:21.390
3 to 2 in the seventh. In the national league,

01:10:21.630 --> 01:10:23.949
Cincinnati and Philadelphia are tied 2 and 2.

01:10:24.520 --> 01:10:29.399
in the ninth. First person Woody held is a strike.

01:10:30.439 --> 01:10:33.060
Pittsburgh leading Milwaukee five to four at

01:10:33.060 --> 01:10:35.060
the end of eight. And that Giants score, the

01:10:35.060 --> 01:10:38.500
Giants lead the Cubs seven, ten to two at the

01:10:38.500 --> 01:10:43.819
end of seven. Trowbridge. Next delivery is hit

01:10:43.819 --> 01:10:47.880
to the shortstop, Hamlin. One out. Held is thrown

01:10:47.880 --> 01:10:52.960
out by Ken Hamlin. What about that score? The

01:10:52.960 --> 01:10:57.359
Giants 17 and the Cubs 2 at the end of 7. And

01:10:57.359 --> 01:10:59.479
the Dodgers lead the Cardinals 5 to 4 at the

01:10:59.479 --> 01:11:03.960
end of 6. One man gone here in the fourth inning.

01:11:08.020 --> 01:11:10.319
Bubba Phillips single this first time. It's a

01:11:10.319 --> 01:11:13.800
foul. The Giants are flexing their muscles today

01:11:13.800 --> 01:11:16.039
over there. We said they had a lot of power in

01:11:16.039 --> 01:11:19.449
the middle of that lineup. The power up and down

01:11:19.449 --> 01:11:27.329
the lineup today 17 to 2. I know earlier Nicky

01:11:27.329 --> 01:11:29.149
and Nicky Pater had a home run and Bob Schmidt

01:11:29.149 --> 01:11:32.649
did one with two men on. Now the saying is if

01:11:32.649 --> 01:11:35.409
you're going to lose one lose one right. Chicago

01:11:35.409 --> 01:11:37.289
can say they're losing this one right today.

01:11:37.470 --> 01:11:54.300
It's not overdue. He's still got a hit in the

01:11:54.300 --> 01:11:55.699
second inning. That was his first hit of the

01:11:55.699 --> 01:12:00.079
year. He's one for 10 now. Trowbridge in addition

01:12:00.079 --> 01:12:02.159
to his good sinker ball throws a lot of sliders

01:12:02.159 --> 01:12:03.779
a lot of breaking ball and all three of those

01:12:03.779 --> 01:12:06.140
were breaking balls and look each one a little

01:12:06.140 --> 01:12:11.500
farther outside. Well here's the pitcher he sacrificed

01:12:11.500 --> 01:12:16.920
the first time up. Barry Lappman. Pops it up

01:12:16.920 --> 01:12:20.810
to second seconds. Having a little trouble now,

01:12:20.869 --> 01:12:28.409
calls for it. So, Trowbridge has a very eerie

01:12:28.409 --> 01:12:30.810
evening. Although, monthly staggered a bit under

01:12:30.810 --> 01:12:33.890
that pop fly. With the wind and the sun being

01:12:33.890 --> 01:12:36.310
what it is. Now, at the end of three and a half

01:12:36.310 --> 01:12:38.470
innings, the score is the A's two and the Indians

01:12:38.470 --> 01:12:46.069
one. Here it is, ladies and gentlemen, the world's

01:12:46.069 --> 01:12:48.489
safest safety razor. A Gillette razor, of course.

01:12:48.600 --> 01:12:50.899
This particular model is the Gillette adjustable

01:12:50.899 --> 01:12:53.720
with nine separate settings to match any combination

01:12:53.720 --> 01:12:56.380
of skin and beard. Now, I'm setting this one

01:12:56.380 --> 01:12:58.579
at nine, which gives the greatest edge exposure.

01:12:58.960 --> 01:13:00.939
There are no exposed corners on the Gillette

01:13:00.939 --> 01:13:03.859
razor. Just watch this. Here's a fresh blade,

01:13:04.100 --> 01:13:07.079
sharp as sharp can be. Now, I'll put it in the

01:13:07.079 --> 01:13:14.960
razor. Watch. Right in the palm of my hand, and

01:13:14.960 --> 01:13:17.699
not a scratch. How about that? That's protection.

01:13:18.610 --> 01:13:21.829
No exposed corners. And that's true for any Gillette

01:13:21.829 --> 01:13:24.489
razor and any Gillette blade. The blade I use

01:13:24.489 --> 01:13:27.250
just now is the new Super Blue Blade. Believe

01:13:27.250 --> 01:13:29.770
me, this is a miracle blade. You just have to

01:13:29.770 --> 01:13:32.050
try it to know the wonderful, comfortable, clean

01:13:32.050 --> 01:13:34.930
shaves you get. Look for it. The new Gillette

01:13:34.930 --> 01:13:40.329
Super Blue Blade. First pitch to Bob Serb. One

01:13:40.329 --> 01:13:43.670
around. Serb leading off, single back in the

01:13:43.670 --> 01:13:47.199
second inning and scoring a run. The athletics

01:13:47.199 --> 01:13:52.560
left fielder. Four out of eight so far this season

01:13:52.560 --> 01:13:59.380
including this game. Nice play. Johnny Temple

01:13:59.380 --> 01:14:04.720
scooting to his right throws out Bob Sir. The

01:14:04.720 --> 01:14:06.500
Indians got a valuable piece of poverty when

01:14:06.500 --> 01:14:09.760
they got Johnny Temple. Of course they gave up

01:14:09.760 --> 01:14:13.760
one of their big winners. The Red Legs needed

01:14:13.760 --> 01:14:17.909
some pitches. Cal go surprise when he starts

01:14:17.909 --> 01:14:21.989
pitching in that small park in Cincinnati Strike

01:14:21.989 --> 01:14:25.609
the duty and they jump out of there pretty good

01:14:25.609 --> 01:14:29.250
First a homerun these days is to be found in

01:14:29.250 --> 01:14:31.250
any ballpark where these fellas can sock that

01:14:31.250 --> 01:14:37.890
ball One and one to Harry Chidi He's catcher.

01:14:37.890 --> 01:14:39.829
He's single and drove in the first athletic run

01:14:39.829 --> 01:14:42.729
in the second inning And another run scored on

01:14:42.729 --> 01:14:46.489
a pass ball Finds the ace on top. Two to one.

01:14:47.010 --> 01:14:49.050
Here with one out and nobody on in the fourth.

01:14:50.869 --> 01:14:56.689
Curve ball. One ball, two strikes. Now we have

01:14:56.689 --> 01:14:58.710
pretty good battle going between Trowbridge,

01:14:59.510 --> 01:15:02.270
who relieved Dick Hall, the Kansas City starter.

01:15:03.210 --> 01:15:05.630
A good battle between Trowbridge and Barry Letman.

01:15:19.630 --> 01:15:21.989
Phillips has to back up and play the long hop.

01:15:22.609 --> 01:15:25.829
Up and down and out. Oh, and up in the air, and

01:15:25.829 --> 01:15:27.430
then we have plenty of time with cheaty running,

01:15:27.590 --> 01:15:32.310
and that's two out. One thing about it, Carl,

01:15:32.329 --> 01:15:36.829
whenever you see an athlete in any sport, do

01:15:36.829 --> 01:15:38.949
something with an unnatural motion like Phillips,

01:15:39.090 --> 01:15:41.029
and then we have plenty of time. That's when

01:15:41.029 --> 01:15:43.590
they make the mistakes. Not only that, but that's

01:15:43.590 --> 01:15:47.800
when you get hurt. First pitch to Bob Johnson

01:15:47.800 --> 01:15:49.260
is a ball you need to hurt physically. Right,

01:15:49.359 --> 01:15:52.640
I think in football they will always stress this

01:15:52.640 --> 01:15:55.359
point with so much body contact to always do

01:15:55.359 --> 01:15:58.680
the natural thing and always do the thing to

01:15:58.680 --> 01:16:03.939
the fullest. Ball two to Johnson. Any maneuvers

01:16:03.939 --> 01:16:06.939
you shy away from or don't do all out, this is

01:16:06.939 --> 01:16:09.340
the time you get hurt. On basketball you're going

01:16:09.340 --> 01:16:11.479
for a layup when you're all by yourself, no opposition,

01:16:11.619 --> 01:16:13.359
you just do something different because you know

01:16:13.359 --> 01:16:16.840
that you don't have to bear down. And that's

01:16:16.840 --> 01:16:19.680
when you blow the shot. Two out of nobody on

01:16:19.680 --> 01:16:22.600
two balls, no strikes to count. Johnson hit that

01:16:22.600 --> 01:16:24.159
one right off the end of the bat. He can chalk

01:16:24.159 --> 01:16:26.699
up now. Reach on the field of choice in the second

01:16:26.699 --> 01:16:28.819
inning. He's the A's third baseman, a rookie,

01:16:28.880 --> 01:16:32.000
whom they drafted. Hey, old bird dog, Cooper,

01:16:32.100 --> 01:16:33.840
still bounce around down there in that coaching

01:16:33.840 --> 01:16:35.960
box. Well, we saw him in batting breakers. Walker,

01:16:36.000 --> 01:16:38.779
Cooper, dulled a couple out of this ballpark.

01:16:40.239 --> 01:16:48.159
That's ball three to Johnson. He's batting in

01:16:48.159 --> 01:16:54.479
the number seven spot. That's been working in

01:16:54.479 --> 01:17:03.979
a hurry, Watson. This Johnson, at whom we're

01:17:03.979 --> 01:17:07.920
looking right now, bears a remarkable resemblance

01:17:07.920 --> 01:17:11.159
to Rocky Colabido. In fact, they've already nicknamed

01:17:11.159 --> 01:17:13.159
him Rocky. Here's Ken Hamlin, the shortstop.

01:17:16.140 --> 01:17:19.939
Fly out to center field his first time up. Throw

01:17:19.939 --> 01:17:27.220
to first. Two to one, the A's lead here in the

01:17:27.220 --> 01:17:37.300
fourth inning. Right down the middle. One and

01:17:37.300 --> 01:17:42.159
one. Slamming and throw rather hard. I was talking

01:17:42.159 --> 01:17:44.039
to some of the thugs before the game today and

01:17:44.039 --> 01:17:46.939
asked him what basically his stuff was. They

01:17:46.939 --> 01:17:49.100
said just good hard fastball and a good hard

01:17:49.100 --> 01:17:52.640
curve. It's a pretty good combination. One and

01:17:52.640 --> 01:17:55.420
one to the batter, Hamlin. Curveball hit the

01:17:55.420 --> 01:17:57.399
third base. The play is going to be the second

01:17:57.399 --> 01:18:02.600
to Temple. Johnson is forced by Hamlin from Bubba

01:18:02.600 --> 01:18:05.539
Phillips to Johnny Temple. No runs, no hits,

01:18:05.680 --> 01:18:08.600
no errors, and one man left on base. And the

01:18:08.600 --> 01:18:10.359
score at the end of the fall betting the athletics

01:18:10.359 --> 01:19:21.340
two and Cleveland one. what we need. Johnny Temples

01:19:21.340 --> 01:19:23.239
the batter he doubled his first time up and scored

01:19:23.239 --> 01:19:25.720
a run that's the way the ballgame started. Then

01:19:25.720 --> 01:19:29.100
he ground it out back in the second inning. He

01:19:29.100 --> 01:19:31.600
has two for 16 which is not much like Johnny

01:19:31.600 --> 01:19:37.619
Temple. Tries to bunt and it goes foul. He'll

01:19:37.619 --> 01:19:39.220
do a little bit of everything. He'll do that

01:19:39.220 --> 01:19:44.920
with two out too. John's expecting a summer this

01:19:44.920 --> 01:19:47.579
year that he can maintain his weight and his

01:19:47.579 --> 01:19:50.170
strength because in that. hot ballpark in Cincinnati

01:19:50.170 --> 01:19:52.149
playing one hundred and fifty four and as the

01:19:52.149 --> 01:19:54.869
way this guy moves around he always lost weight

01:19:54.869 --> 01:19:57.470
during the season. So he's looking forward to

01:19:57.470 --> 01:19:59.970
those cool days in Cleveland this year when he

01:19:59.970 --> 01:20:04.510
can probably keep that weight up that at 311

01:20:04.510 --> 01:20:11.989
last year. Take strike to strike out very often.

01:20:12.729 --> 01:20:14.729
Nobody out here in the fifth inning. It's going

01:20:14.729 --> 01:20:17.090
to be a temple for us all and Walter Bond. We're

01:20:17.090 --> 01:20:18.649
around at the top of Cleveland batting order

01:20:18.649 --> 01:20:29.689
again. A real good eye up at the plate. Cleveland's

01:20:29.689 --> 01:20:31.449
quarter run in the first. The A's came back with

01:20:31.449 --> 01:20:34.449
two in the second. This is Bob Trowbridge who

01:20:34.449 --> 01:20:37.189
relieved Dick Hall in the first inning. We're

01:20:37.189 --> 01:20:41.369
waiting for Harry Chidi to fix the mask. He had

01:20:41.369 --> 01:20:44.029
it off. Made an adjustment. Now he's ready to

01:20:44.029 --> 01:20:59.130
go. One ball two strikes. number 37. He'll be

01:20:59.130 --> 01:21:09.170
up there next. Here's the 2 -2. Very close. 3

01:21:09.170 --> 01:21:14.050
-2. It's a lot of courage to take that pitch

01:21:14.050 --> 01:21:17.289
in a 2 -2 count. Yeah, Trowbridge out there has

01:21:17.289 --> 01:21:19.470
nibbled it outside of that plate three straight

01:21:19.470 --> 01:21:21.630
pitches down attempting to get Temple out of

01:21:21.630 --> 01:21:24.489
there with two strikes on him. And he's just

01:21:24.489 --> 01:21:29.090
missed. A shot in the left. Serve is on the go.

01:21:29.229 --> 01:21:31.130
It's going to be off the wall. Might have a play

01:21:31.130 --> 01:21:33.289
at second base. Temple is held to a single. A

01:21:33.289 --> 01:21:38.630
nice play by Bob Serr. Temple really caught that

01:21:38.630 --> 01:21:41.189
one right off the three thirty sign out in left

01:21:41.189 --> 01:21:43.949
field. When it became apparent to serve that

01:21:43.949 --> 01:21:45.430
he wasn't going to be able to get to the ball.

01:21:46.789 --> 01:21:49.329
He took a fine position and got a good rebound.

01:21:50.810 --> 01:21:52.350
They don't hold their runners to singles very

01:21:52.350 --> 01:21:54.350
often on a shot off that wall. Here's Pearsall.

01:21:57.350 --> 01:22:01.149
It's hit number six for Cleveland. Hit number

01:22:01.149 --> 01:22:05.770
two for Johnny Temple. He got it on a 3 -2 pitch.

01:22:08.050 --> 01:22:10.149
Pearsall punts. The play is going to be the first

01:22:10.149 --> 01:22:12.449
base. Now Pearsall was punting for the hit but

01:22:12.449 --> 01:22:14.630
he got it right back to the mound. Temple went

01:22:14.630 --> 01:22:21.409
to second. So it's a sacrifice. Throw bridge

01:22:21.409 --> 01:22:28.359
to Seaburn. Some of the boys will tell that he

01:22:28.359 --> 01:22:32.220
was protecting that average of his. Had a pretty

01:22:32.220 --> 01:22:34.159
good idea with this big fella coming up, Walter

01:22:34.159 --> 01:22:37.260
Bond. He's single and drove in a run back in

01:22:37.260 --> 01:22:39.220
the first inning, then he struck out in the third.

01:22:40.199 --> 01:22:43.180
Indian rookie right fielder. Tying run, temple

01:22:43.180 --> 01:22:46.739
on its second base. And one man out here in the

01:22:46.739 --> 01:23:03.100
fifth. wearing sunglasses now. The wind doesn't

01:23:03.100 --> 01:23:05.060
seem to be quite as strong as it was earlier

01:23:05.060 --> 01:23:12.199
blowing out toward center field. One and one

01:23:12.199 --> 01:23:23.800
to bind. Bob Trowbridge formerly of Milwaukee.

01:23:32.880 --> 01:23:37.539
Johnny Temple on its second base. A curveball

01:23:37.539 --> 01:23:40.539
hit into deep right. That ball is trouble and

01:23:40.539 --> 01:23:43.659
it's out of here. That ball really jumped. A

01:23:43.659 --> 01:23:48.100
curveball. And he hit it out. Scoring Temple

01:23:48.100 --> 01:23:51.659
ahead of him. That ties the score as Temple steps

01:23:51.659 --> 01:23:55.020
on the plate. And now Bond's run puts them ahead.

01:23:56.880 --> 01:23:59.640
A single and a homer. And the Indians are out

01:23:59.640 --> 01:24:10.220
in front by the score of 3 to 2. And now Tito

01:24:10.220 --> 01:24:14.100
Frank Conner wears walk twice. It's a bouncing

01:24:14.100 --> 01:24:26.460
ball to lumpy. Really hung a curve ball to bond

01:24:26.460 --> 01:24:29.159
didn't he Carl. That ball is up. Certainly was

01:24:29.159 --> 01:24:31.279
up and a little bit in on him and when he hit

01:24:31.279 --> 01:24:33.220
it it sure didn't sound from here that he hit

01:24:33.220 --> 01:24:35.500
it well enough to go over that fence. I'm sure

01:24:35.500 --> 01:24:37.199
he hit it well or it wouldn't have gone that

01:24:37.199 --> 01:24:38.680
far. I don't think he got a lot of help from

01:24:38.680 --> 01:24:41.550
the wind. indication this guy is not only big

01:24:41.550 --> 01:24:44.829
he really is strong I surprised myself when that

01:24:44.829 --> 01:24:47.710
ball jumped out because as you say Carl I didn't

01:24:47.710 --> 01:24:51.489
sound good when he hit it but it's gone now and

01:24:51.489 --> 01:24:53.449
the Indians lead three to two here in the fifth

01:24:53.449 --> 01:24:58.750
inning with two out this is Russ Nixon the catcher

01:24:58.750 --> 01:25:00.430
I might have been disappointed if we hadn't seen

01:25:00.430 --> 01:25:03.250
one home run here today the way the wind is blowing

01:25:03.250 --> 01:25:11.250
Trowbridge wouldn't have been disappointed Nixon

01:25:11.250 --> 01:25:16.630
hits one intellect. It's his first hit free trips

01:25:16.630 --> 01:25:21.529
Single of the opposite field off the bat of the

01:25:21.529 --> 01:26:01.020
Cleveland catcher The Indians, after scoring

01:26:01.020 --> 01:26:02.920
in the first inning and then losing their advantage,

01:26:03.000 --> 01:26:08.579
are again on top, 3 -2. Shebram watches it all

01:26:08.579 --> 01:26:13.819
the way, but there's no play. And it's strike

01:26:13.819 --> 01:26:20.140
two. Pitcher is due to lead off for the Athletics

01:26:20.140 --> 01:26:29.590
in the bottom of the... Good thing. No balls,

01:26:29.869 --> 01:26:32.369
two strikes. A high fly ball, the deep left.

01:26:32.590 --> 01:26:35.449
That ball is going to be trouble. And serve,

01:26:35.630 --> 01:26:37.550
can't get it. It's off the wall. Runs going to

01:26:37.550 --> 01:26:50.640
score. A double for power. Serve had a little

01:26:50.640 --> 01:26:53.720
more room out there in the outfield than he imagined.

01:26:54.279 --> 01:26:55.960
Leapfoot couldn't get to the ball. It's a double

01:26:55.960 --> 01:27:00.039
and an RBI on a nothing two pitch to Vic Power.

01:27:01.100 --> 01:27:04.539
Drives in the run. Nixon scored all the way from

01:27:04.539 --> 01:27:06.859
first base. Three runs in the inning making the

01:27:06.859 --> 01:27:09.739
score four to two. Power with a double goes to

01:27:09.739 --> 01:27:20.899
third on the throw to the plate. Here's the shortstop.

01:27:20.939 --> 01:27:24.399
Woody held with power on a third. Going to keep

01:27:24.399 --> 01:27:26.600
an eye on him. He's trying to steal Swalm. The

01:27:26.600 --> 01:28:07.050
play is out at home. on the top of the head as

01:28:07.050 --> 01:28:09.810
power was reaching with his hand. And the argument

01:28:09.810 --> 01:28:12.729
continues here. That ends the inning. Out trying

01:28:12.729 --> 01:28:19.289
to steal home. Three runs. On four hits. No errors

01:28:19.289 --> 01:28:21.890
and nobody left. And at the end of four and a

01:28:21.890 --> 01:29:01.210
half innings the score is Cleveland four. with

01:29:01.210 --> 01:29:04.109
a shaving cream shave. See? Gillette Foamy Instant

01:29:04.109 --> 01:29:06.270
Lather. Just a touch, and there's rich, creamy

01:29:06.270 --> 01:29:08.310
lather that drenches your beard, softens your

01:29:08.310 --> 01:29:10.869
whiskers. Shaving is fast and easy, and you get

01:29:10.869 --> 01:29:13.270
that clean, clean feeling only a shaving cream

01:29:13.270 --> 01:29:16.449
shave can give. Here's a foamy exclusive, K34,

01:29:16.729 --> 01:29:19.029
the antiseptic that kills harmful facial bacteria.

01:29:19.510 --> 01:29:22.149
Regular foamy, or foamy with menthol added, 79

01:29:22.149 --> 01:29:32.739
cents, or the giant economy size, 98 cents. Temple

01:29:32.739 --> 01:29:35.500
started with a single. Kersall sacrificed and

01:29:35.500 --> 01:29:37.760
Vaughn hit a home run to put Cleveland ahead

01:29:37.760 --> 01:29:41.359
by the score of three to two. Then after Francona

01:29:41.359 --> 01:29:43.539
grounded out, Nixon's single and Power doubled

01:29:43.539 --> 01:29:45.520
him home. Power went to third on the play at

01:29:45.520 --> 01:30:03.319
the plate. This is Whitey Herzog batting for

01:30:03.319 --> 01:30:12.520
Trowbridge. Last of the fifth getting underway.

01:30:13.979 --> 01:30:16.300
Barry Ladman on the mound for the Indians. He's

01:30:16.300 --> 01:30:22.180
started and going all the way. George Brunet

01:30:22.180 --> 01:30:25.079
is in the bullpen for the A's. There's a foul

01:30:25.079 --> 01:30:29.840
off the end of the bat for strike two. Whitey

01:30:29.840 --> 01:30:36.720
Herzog the batter here. in the on deck circle.

01:30:43.699 --> 01:30:45.520
They thought they had a strikeout, but they didn't

01:30:45.520 --> 01:30:50.680
get the call. It's one and two. Herzog last year

01:30:50.680 --> 01:30:56.779
batted 293. Just in a few games, however. In

01:30:56.779 --> 01:31:02.039
the dirt, two and two. Power came after Chidi

01:31:02.039 --> 01:31:03.939
as he attempted to steal home with those spikes

01:31:03.939 --> 01:31:06.140
flying, jumped right on top of him. Chidi didn't

01:31:06.140 --> 01:31:08.220
tag him, but Power didn't get to the plate, and

01:31:08.220 --> 01:31:10.420
then Power reached for the plate, and Chidi tagged

01:31:10.420 --> 01:31:12.600
him on top of the head. Quite an argument when

01:31:12.600 --> 01:31:15.479
the inning was over. There's ball three. Three

01:31:15.479 --> 01:31:17.619
and two to the leadoff man here. It appeared

01:31:17.619 --> 01:31:21.260
that Power, who was out by some 10 or 12 feet,

01:31:21.619 --> 01:31:23.359
saw that he was going to be out after attempting

01:31:23.359 --> 01:31:25.560
to steal, and he tried to knock the underpinning

01:31:25.560 --> 01:31:27.359
out from under Harry Chidi, and he only spun

01:31:27.359 --> 01:31:31.359
off of him. Then the argument came because of

01:31:31.359 --> 01:31:34.279
Chidi in an attempt to tag, his attempt to get

01:31:34.279 --> 01:31:38.430
back to the plate. The umpire called him out.

01:31:51.350 --> 01:31:54.529
So maybe the A's have something going on. Last

01:31:54.529 --> 01:31:59.850
to the fifth the Indians lead four to two. Frank

01:31:59.850 --> 01:32:02.090
Conner makes the catch on a flat ball hit by

01:32:02.090 --> 01:32:08.229
Tuttle. Why not. Frank Conner and Kersall were

01:32:08.229 --> 01:32:13.649
all after that one. Now, the number two hitter

01:32:13.649 --> 01:32:16.609
in the lineup, the second baseman, with one for

01:32:16.609 --> 01:32:20.489
two so far in the ball game, Jerry Lumpy. Lumpy

01:32:20.489 --> 01:32:23.430
popped out, then single in the third. Kersall

01:32:23.430 --> 01:32:26.789
got it first base. The A's two runs down, they

01:32:26.789 --> 01:32:28.470
figure he's not gonna be running until Power

01:32:28.470 --> 01:32:31.409
is playing behind him down there, thus protecting

01:32:31.409 --> 01:32:36.199
the hole against this left -handed hitter. That's

01:32:36.199 --> 01:33:37.439
through the hole the other way. down at second

01:33:37.439 --> 01:33:40.560
base and lumpy at first with one out. Bauer pops

01:33:40.560 --> 01:33:43.439
it up short left center. First all on the run.

01:33:43.579 --> 01:33:46.260
Look at him come. He's there and has it. Runners

01:33:46.260 --> 01:33:50.560
get back two out. First off and cover that ground

01:33:50.560 --> 01:33:53.060
in the outfield. Came a long way for that one

01:33:53.060 --> 01:34:01.079
playing deep for Bauer. Now that puts things

01:34:01.079 --> 01:34:02.960
squarely up to the number four hitter in the

01:34:02.960 --> 01:34:10.529
athletics lineup. He's out at first. And there

01:34:10.529 --> 01:34:19.189
is the first baseman, Norm Sebring. It's a foul.

01:34:20.090 --> 01:34:22.109
Sebring walked in the second and quarter run,

01:34:22.210 --> 01:34:25.310
then grounded out. The Indians are on top, 4

01:34:25.310 --> 01:34:26.930
-2, and we're in the bottom of the fifth, 2 on,

01:34:26.930 --> 01:34:41.609
2 up. I've been taking a little time. He's in

01:34:41.609 --> 01:34:45.449
a bit of a jam here. This is the second time

01:34:45.449 --> 01:34:47.109
that Grant, when we showed you in the bullpen,

01:34:47.149 --> 01:34:56.149
has been warming up. One and one. Tom Seaborn,

01:34:56.350 --> 01:35:02.270
a St. Louis boy. Last year with the Yankees,

01:35:02.329 --> 01:35:09.720
he had 11 homers. 53 RBI is about at 271. A good

01:35:09.720 --> 01:35:14.260
fastball on the corner. Now Seaborn has to be

01:35:14.260 --> 01:35:16.020
cutting away up there. He's in the hole one and

01:35:16.020 --> 01:35:22.300
two. That man had plenty on that one. I think

01:35:22.300 --> 01:35:25.300
we spoke earlier Jack about pitching inside to

01:35:25.300 --> 01:35:26.739
some of these left handers and there was a good

01:35:26.739 --> 01:35:29.739
example. Striding in and taking the pitch but

01:35:29.739 --> 01:35:33.920
it just about the corner. One ball two strikes

01:35:33.920 --> 01:35:43.840
two on two out. This is a wild now. Two on, two

01:35:43.840 --> 01:35:47.199
out, two balls, two strikes. Four to two of the

01:35:47.199 --> 01:37:07.439
score. Get a bunch of human beings down there

01:37:07.439 --> 01:37:13.199
playing with a baseball and look out. One and

01:37:13.199 --> 01:37:16.619
one. Do bomb serve. Serve single. Score a run

01:37:16.619 --> 01:37:18.579
in the second and then ground it out. There's

01:37:18.579 --> 01:37:36.449
Seaborn. And there we have Lumpy. one ball two

01:37:36.449 --> 01:37:38.729
strikes only had seven in the hall and then he

01:37:38.729 --> 01:37:43.210
got him and then whoops you know that run of

01:37:43.210 --> 01:37:45.930
course will be an unearned run but uh or any

01:37:45.930 --> 01:37:48.470
other runs that score this inning will be unearned

01:37:48.470 --> 01:37:52.270
they're still just as big on the scoreboard indians

01:37:52.270 --> 01:38:09.239
lead by one At the end of the fifth inning is

01:38:09.239 --> 01:39:11.550
Cleveland 4, Kansas City 3. two Cincinnati and

01:39:11.550 --> 01:39:15.390
Philadelphia in the eighth. It's Pittsburgh five

01:39:15.390 --> 01:39:17.970
and Milwaukee four. Look at that San Francisco.

01:39:18.569 --> 01:39:21.189
Jack Sanford won that one eighteen runs. Two

01:39:21.189 --> 01:39:24.329
runs for Chicago. Drop was a loser. He'd like

01:39:24.329 --> 01:39:26.930
to spread those over the season I bet. Los Angeles

01:39:26.930 --> 01:39:29.189
and St. Louis. St. Louis is forced to hit now

01:39:29.189 --> 01:39:31.729
on the sixth inning eight to five. We're ready

01:39:31.729 --> 01:39:37.430
to go here in the top of the sixth inning. Kansas

01:39:37.430 --> 01:39:43.090
City. Brunette is on the mound, B -R -U -N -E

01:39:43.090 --> 01:39:46.149
-T, George Brunette. Those American League games

01:39:46.149 --> 01:39:47.770
are all over. I gave you those scores earlier,

01:39:47.789 --> 01:39:50.750
but in case you weren't with us, it was Detroit

01:39:50.750 --> 01:39:55.590
6, the White Sox 2, Boston 8, Washington 3, the

01:39:55.590 --> 01:39:59.310
Yankees 3, Baltimore 2. So the Tigers are still

01:39:59.310 --> 01:40:02.270
undefeated. They're 4 -0. George Brunette is

01:40:02.270 --> 01:40:09.510
the third Kansas City pitcher. Started with Dick

01:40:09.510 --> 01:40:11.529
Hall. and then Bob Trowbridge in the first in

01:40:11.529 --> 01:40:13.710
the sixth that's Brunette and what he held will

01:40:13.710 --> 01:40:24.050
lead off. I hope you're enjoying the action in

01:40:24.050 --> 01:40:26.170
this one. We've had quite a bit of it at municipal

01:40:26.170 --> 01:40:29.289
stadium in Kansas City. Gillette sending you

01:40:29.289 --> 01:40:32.029
the game. It will be on hand each and every Saturday

01:40:32.029 --> 01:40:35.350
for you. Next Saturday the Los Angeles Dodgers

01:40:35.350 --> 01:40:38.029
and the San Francisco Giants from Los Angeles.

01:40:39.010 --> 01:40:41.159
Jack Buck. Karl Erskine here. We're enjoying

01:40:41.159 --> 01:40:44.460
the ballgame along with it. Chidi gets together

01:40:44.460 --> 01:40:49.479
with the pitcher on the signs. And turn the lights

01:40:49.479 --> 01:40:53.899
on here. An indication of the sort of day we're

01:40:53.899 --> 01:40:55.899
having. We had sunshine for just a couple of

01:40:55.899 --> 01:40:57.800
minutes or so and then only part of the field.

01:41:00.000 --> 01:41:06.159
What he held is 0 for 2. Not too good a start

01:41:06.159 --> 01:41:08.619
for the season. 2 out of 13. He underwent a couple

01:41:08.619 --> 01:41:14.859
of operations that really frightened him but

01:41:14.859 --> 01:41:22.659
strike. Thought for a while that Woody might

01:41:22.659 --> 01:41:28.680
have cancer. Fortunately it was not true. He

01:41:28.680 --> 01:41:32.619
held back. It's 1 and 1. 4 to 3 the score on

01:41:32.619 --> 01:41:35.579
this one. The Indians about hit the athletics

01:41:35.579 --> 01:41:37.659
nine to four. The Indians have made the only

01:41:37.659 --> 01:41:40.260
error. When you consider that run the scored

01:41:40.260 --> 01:41:42.380
on the air plus the run the scored on the pass

01:41:42.380 --> 01:41:44.439
ball the A's have scored some pretty cheap markers

01:41:44.439 --> 01:41:46.880
but they do count. He caught that one in the

01:41:46.880 --> 01:41:49.140
right field. Hank Bauer should make the catch.

01:41:53.520 --> 01:41:59.699
What he held applies to Hank Bauer. It's not

01:41:59.699 --> 01:42:01.579
the first five ball that Mr. Bauer has caught.

01:42:04.120 --> 01:42:06.600
He's not used to that much room out there however.

01:42:08.159 --> 01:42:11.140
No. First thing he sees in Yankee Stadium used

01:42:11.140 --> 01:42:15.819
to see people. Here's Bubba Phillips. One for

01:42:15.819 --> 01:42:19.899
two in this game a single and a strikeout. Remember

01:42:19.899 --> 01:42:22.159
the last time out there he went for three bad

01:42:22.159 --> 01:42:26.699
balls in the fan. Didn't go for this one. Got

01:42:26.699 --> 01:42:28.239
a single in the second inning. He's only hit

01:42:28.239 --> 01:42:32.079
for the season so far. He's one for ten. Ball

01:42:32.079 --> 01:42:36.479
two. He is bringing in the left hander here to

01:42:36.479 --> 01:42:38.979
see what they can do about stopping the power

01:42:38.979 --> 01:42:44.300
hitting of Bond, Frank Cota, and Nixon. One out,

01:42:44.420 --> 01:42:55.579
nobody out. Third baseman, Johnson. Save! He

01:42:55.579 --> 01:42:57.119
put everything he had on it, but he couldn't

01:42:57.119 --> 01:42:59.140
get Bubba Phillips. He gets his second hit of

01:42:59.140 --> 01:43:05.399
the ballgame. He had to wait for that high bouncing

01:43:05.399 --> 01:43:07.159
ball to come down. He knew he was going to have

01:43:07.159 --> 01:43:09.180
trouble, so he cranked up and fired as hard as

01:43:09.180 --> 01:43:12.119
he could and quickly as he could. Couldn't flag

01:43:12.119 --> 01:43:14.260
down Phillips. He's on a first with one out.

01:43:15.960 --> 01:43:22.699
And the pitcher is coming up. One man gone here.

01:43:24.420 --> 01:43:26.239
You can look for most anything in this situation.

01:43:26.420 --> 01:43:31.359
This is not simple. This is very Latin. It's

01:43:31.359 --> 01:43:33.500
not uncommon to see a pitcher bunt in this situation,

01:43:33.699 --> 01:43:35.560
Jack, because of a fellow like Temple coming

01:43:35.560 --> 01:43:37.899
out behind him, even though there's one out.

01:43:38.840 --> 01:43:41.180
Johnson's even with a bag at third base, protecting

01:43:41.180 --> 01:43:44.699
against the bunt. The base hit by Phillips was

01:43:44.699 --> 01:43:52.840
number 10 for the Indians. Popped it in the air,

01:43:52.840 --> 01:43:57.479
he grabs it, nobody covering. Phillips got back

01:43:57.479 --> 01:43:59.779
in time as Lumpy was unable to get over there.

01:44:00.780 --> 01:44:07.460
So Brunette wisely held the ball. Good wood on

01:44:07.460 --> 01:44:10.760
that one. Swung at that one he had a good marine

01:44:10.760 --> 01:44:14.000
line drive base hit. I'm sure he was trying to

01:44:14.000 --> 01:44:16.079
make that bunt good out in front of the plate.

01:44:16.239 --> 01:44:18.539
Made sure he bunted it fair and with something

01:44:18.539 --> 01:44:23.279
on it and he did. Here's a fellow who has two

01:44:23.279 --> 01:44:25.180
hits in the ballgame Johnny Temple. He has two

01:44:25.180 --> 01:44:30.390
for three. A double and a single and he scored

01:44:30.390 --> 01:44:35.409
twice. Phillips on at first two out. There's

01:44:35.409 --> 01:44:37.310
a bot and that's a good one. Going to have trouble

01:44:37.310 --> 01:44:39.810
throwing them out. Low throw. Safe. Nice play

01:44:39.810 --> 01:44:49.270
by Sieber. Base hit by Temple his third. Well

01:44:49.270 --> 01:44:51.270
that's smart baseball by Temple keeping the inning

01:44:51.270 --> 01:44:53.989
going. No sense a little fellow like him pumping

01:44:53.989 --> 01:44:57.350
away for the fence. First all here has more power

01:44:57.350 --> 01:45:00.029
and then you get around it. a bond who will follow

01:45:00.029 --> 01:45:03.810
him. So Temple collects his third hit of the

01:45:03.810 --> 01:45:07.449
day. Here's personal. You know whereas there

01:45:07.449 --> 01:45:09.649
are certain patterns in baseball that are followed

01:45:09.649 --> 01:45:13.010
because of a percentage. Again you take nothing

01:45:13.010 --> 01:45:15.970
for granted because just because of a two outs.

01:45:16.390 --> 01:45:18.609
No reason in the world why I felt like Temple

01:45:18.609 --> 01:45:22.289
couldn't lay one down and he did. There are two

01:45:22.289 --> 01:45:29.340
men out here foul tip. Pierce all has two for

01:45:29.340 --> 01:45:31.859
two. Both singles. He sacrificed his last time

01:45:31.859 --> 01:45:35.520
up. Temple's on it first. Bubba Phillips is on

01:45:35.520 --> 01:45:39.119
it second base. Indians trying to score more.

01:45:39.220 --> 01:45:41.920
They lead four to three here in the sixth inning.

01:45:46.520 --> 01:45:53.560
Foul on the screen. Strike two. The net's in

01:45:53.560 --> 01:45:55.960
trouble and he hasn't been wrapped for a solid

01:45:55.960 --> 01:46:19.479
hit yet. No balls two strikes. Base hit. Let's

01:46:19.479 --> 01:46:21.439
watch for the play at the plate. Bauer juggles

01:46:21.439 --> 01:46:24.260
the ball. The run scores. Temple goes to third.

01:46:25.720 --> 01:46:29.659
Parasols third hit. Makes the score five to three.

01:46:29.979 --> 01:46:32.619
The first well hit ball off of Braden in this

01:46:32.619 --> 01:46:36.500
inning. Temple went from first to third. As Phillips

01:46:36.500 --> 01:46:38.619
scored we anticipated a play at the plate but

01:46:38.619 --> 01:46:41.420
Bauer juggled the ball. No error charged however.

01:46:43.270 --> 01:46:45.810
He may not have had a chance at the plate because

01:46:45.810 --> 01:46:48.569
of a hop the ball took on the last bounce. He

01:46:48.569 --> 01:46:50.569
had to stop play it up off the middle of his

01:46:50.569 --> 01:46:53.149
chest and even had a feel of the ball clean.

01:46:53.310 --> 01:46:59.649
I doubt that he could have thrown home. Bell

01:46:59.649 --> 01:47:04.390
again. Yeah this guy homered his last time. It

01:47:04.390 --> 01:47:10.949
went right out to the pitcher. Bond is thrown

01:47:10.949 --> 01:47:15.819
out by Brunette. One run. Three hits. No errors.

01:47:16.600 --> 01:47:19.739
Two men left. So, at the end of five and a half

01:47:19.739 --> 01:47:22.479
innings, the score is Cleveland five, Kansas

01:47:22.479 --> 01:47:30.279
City three. Now, have you taken my razor again?

01:47:30.680 --> 01:47:33.819
No, I've got my own. I packed yours. You forgot

01:47:33.819 --> 01:47:35.840
your plane leaves at noon. Yes, but I'd like

01:47:35.840 --> 01:47:38.159
to shave before I leave, especially with my new

01:47:38.159 --> 01:47:40.220
Gillette adjustable. Well, there it is, darling.

01:47:40.579 --> 01:47:44.640
Thank you. How are you fixed for blades? There's

01:47:44.640 --> 01:47:46.920
a husband and wife situation. You know, the new

01:47:46.920 --> 01:47:49.159
Gillette adjustable razor instantly adapts itself

01:47:49.159 --> 01:47:52.039
to any beard, any skin. The most comfortable

01:47:52.039 --> 01:47:55.619
shave I've ever had in my life. Most of the fastidious

01:47:55.619 --> 01:47:58.539
women I know rely on Gillette to protect their

01:47:58.539 --> 01:48:03.720
loveliness. So fast, so clean. Lather, a few

01:48:03.720 --> 01:48:16.909
gentle strokes, and you're all finished. Get

01:48:16.909 --> 01:48:19.189
the Gillette adjustable with blue blade dispenser

01:48:19.189 --> 01:48:26.569
and travel case only 195 Well Barry Lampman has

01:48:26.569 --> 01:48:29.390
gone five having allowed only four hits and he

01:48:29.390 --> 01:48:39.369
needs in the ballgame five to three Walter Bond

01:48:39.369 --> 01:48:41.350
has come in from right field to get the sunglasses

01:48:45.550 --> 01:48:47.750
and we'll soon be ready to go in the bottom of

01:48:47.750 --> 01:48:51.350
the sixth game in philadelphia jack has gone

01:48:51.350 --> 01:48:53.569
into the 12th inning got a real battle over there

01:48:53.569 --> 01:48:56.529
going on between cal mcclish and uh feral is

01:48:56.529 --> 01:48:58.970
in the ball game now 12th innings two to two

01:48:58.970 --> 01:49:05.229
since now in philadelphia evidently the cardinal

01:49:05.229 --> 01:49:06.970
game is over and they defeated the dodgers nine

01:49:06.970 --> 01:49:12.090
to five i didn't want to mention that jack Well,

01:49:12.130 --> 01:49:14.050
here's Harry Chidi to see what he can do about

01:49:14.050 --> 01:49:16.850
starting something for the A's. He has a single

01:49:16.850 --> 01:49:20.670
out of two trips and an RBI. Kansas City catch

01:49:20.670 --> 01:50:24.390
it. Barry Lappman is the pitcher. shortstop what

01:50:24.390 --> 01:50:30.789
he held. Johnson is over to having walked once

01:50:30.789 --> 01:50:34.369
in the game. One out here in the bottom of the

01:50:34.369 --> 01:50:36.810
sixth. He's got that run back in a hurry didn't

01:50:36.810 --> 01:50:42.130
it. It's five to four. Guy like Chidi he doesn't

01:50:42.130 --> 01:50:44.289
have a always the healthiest batting average

01:50:44.289 --> 01:50:48.109
but as strong as he is in a game like this. Really

01:50:48.109 --> 01:51:41.989
be dangerous. Ken Hamlin. up and trying for the

01:51:41.989 --> 01:51:46.430
third time. One and one now. Burnett is up for

01:51:46.430 --> 01:51:48.890
his first time in the game. Two home runs in

01:51:48.890 --> 01:52:44.109
the setting ties the game. Five all. You know

01:52:44.109 --> 01:52:46.550
fans wonder why they don't play the old bunt

01:52:46.550 --> 01:52:49.210
for one run these days but there's a good example.

01:52:49.689 --> 01:52:51.609
When any man in a lineup can sock that ball over

01:52:51.609 --> 01:52:54.310
the fence you don't give up an out for anybody.

01:53:14.000 --> 01:53:17.300
The base is empty. Cheney and Hamlin have homered

01:53:17.300 --> 01:53:33.680
in this inning. One and one. Two out. Nobody

01:53:33.680 --> 01:53:47.420
on. The 1 -1. Two hits, no errors, nobody left.

01:53:47.560 --> 01:53:50.100
At the end of sixth, Indians five, Athletics

01:53:50.100 --> 01:53:53.020
five. It's time now for our stations to identify

01:53:53.020 --> 01:53:55.720
themselves. We pause for station identification.

01:53:58.199 --> 01:54:00.960
Bart Maverick finds jail a heaven on earth. Enjoy

01:54:00.960 --> 01:54:03.460
his humorous adventures tomorrow night on the

01:54:03.460 --> 01:54:07.300
ABC television network. Now it's the seventh

01:54:07.300 --> 01:54:09.260
inning here at Kansas City in the ball game that

01:54:09.260 --> 01:54:11.760
Gillette is bringing you. Score tied 5 -0 between

01:54:11.760 --> 01:54:14.439
Cleveland and Kansas City. In the American League

01:54:14.439 --> 01:54:18.430
and the other games. There they are. Detroit

01:54:18.430 --> 01:54:22.909
6, Chicago 2, Boston 8, Washington 3, Yankees

01:54:22.909 --> 01:54:30.189
3, Baltimore 2. This ballgame now belongs to

01:54:30.189 --> 01:54:34.270
Brunette to win or lose. See battles with Latman.

01:54:35.229 --> 01:54:36.890
Oliver Grant, whom we showed you earlier, is

01:54:36.890 --> 01:54:48.260
still throwing in the bullpen. Pito Francona

01:54:48.260 --> 01:54:54.619
leading off here in the seventh inning. I made

01:54:54.619 --> 01:54:56.520
an observation then he killed Jack and didn't

01:54:56.520 --> 01:54:59.020
finish it. This fellow's got a good fastball

01:54:59.020 --> 01:55:02.520
compared to throw bridge. He was throwing sinker

01:55:02.520 --> 01:55:05.380
balls and sliders for the most part. Francona

01:55:05.380 --> 01:55:12.920
hits one past the pitcher. Lumpy. Gary Lumpy

01:55:12.920 --> 01:55:15.260
throws out Francona who is now 0 for 2 having

01:55:15.260 --> 01:55:19.609
walked twice. One out here in the top of the

01:55:19.609 --> 01:55:21.670
seventh inning. The A's trail one to nothing.

01:55:22.729 --> 01:55:24.989
They lead in the second inning two to one. Then

01:55:24.989 --> 01:55:28.170
they trail four to two. Four to three. Five to

01:55:28.170 --> 01:55:30.649
three. Then they tied it with those two homers.

01:55:33.430 --> 01:55:35.470
The attention brings the field attendance today

01:55:35.470 --> 01:55:43.130
9 ,659. 9659. 9 ,659 in attendance here. This

01:55:43.130 --> 01:55:46.090
is Russ Nixon. That's ball one. Come be with

01:55:46.090 --> 01:55:49.119
us next week. Certainly hope that you will be.

01:55:49.220 --> 01:55:51.020
Gillette will be bringing you big league baseball

01:55:51.020 --> 01:55:54.220
next Saturday at the same time. The Dodgers and

01:55:54.220 --> 01:55:58.079
the Giants from Los Angeles. Nixon hits it foul

01:55:58.079 --> 01:56:00.899
and it's one and one. Better lash down the TV

01:56:00.899 --> 01:56:04.020
sets next week, Jeff. Yeah. Those two ball clubs

01:56:04.020 --> 01:56:07.600
get together and then ballpark. A lot of things

01:56:07.600 --> 01:56:13.699
will be happening. Nixon here has a single lot

01:56:13.699 --> 01:56:30.359
of three trips. It's going to run. They had a

01:56:30.359 --> 01:56:32.479
glimpse of Dick Power who's in the on deck circle.

01:56:33.340 --> 01:56:35.539
That's Powell in the seats and that's on the

01:56:35.539 --> 01:56:47.460
screen. Two and two. One out and nobody on here

01:56:47.460 --> 01:56:51.899
in the seventh up. Make some chokes up on that

01:56:51.899 --> 01:58:31.880
bat. You get the bird you square. Just twist

01:58:31.880 --> 01:58:35.479
that dial and you're all set with the adjustable

01:58:35.479 --> 01:58:40.680
razor by Gillette for shapes so easy, fast and

01:58:40.680 --> 01:58:47.680
clean. So try it and see what we mean. And today

01:58:47.680 --> 01:58:50.159
when you buy the adjustable razor, you get the

01:58:50.159 --> 01:58:52.779
new Gillette super blue blade. A blade so keen

01:58:52.779 --> 01:58:55.340
and so wonderful, you have to use it to believe

01:58:55.340 --> 01:58:58.039
it. Designed specifically to fit all Gillette

01:58:58.039 --> 01:59:00.619
razors, it's the answer for every man, no matter

01:59:00.619 --> 01:59:03.819
how tough the beard or tender the skin. $1 .95

01:59:03.819 --> 01:59:06.619
gets you both the Gillette adjustable razor and

01:59:06.619 --> 01:59:14.020
dispenser of super blue blades. We're going into

01:59:14.020 --> 01:59:15.560
the bottom of the seventh inning and the fans

01:59:15.560 --> 01:59:18.880
here in Kansas City are standing for the hometown

01:59:18.880 --> 01:59:20.859
stretch. We have a new pitcher for the Cleveland

01:59:20.859 --> 01:59:26.039
Indians. The second heart of the game. He takes

01:59:26.039 --> 01:59:32.640
over for Barry Matlin. This is his second game.

01:59:32.819 --> 01:59:49.680
He is 0 and 1. And leading off will be the second

01:59:49.680 --> 01:59:52.859
baseman who was so busy in that last half. Jerry

01:59:52.859 --> 02:00:01.090
Lumpy. singles out of three trips. We're looking

02:00:01.090 --> 02:00:03.510
at another guy who's been really hum that P.

02:00:04.810 --> 02:00:07.909
Jerry Lump. To be followed by Bauer and Seaborn

02:00:07.909 --> 02:00:09.890
as the A's try to break the deadlock here in

02:00:09.890 --> 02:00:22.210
the seventh inning. Grant was 10 and 7 last year.

02:00:23.329 --> 02:00:25.949
This ballgame belongs to Grant and Brunette right

02:00:25.949 --> 02:00:29.359
at the moment. Tie five and five. The count is

02:00:29.359 --> 02:02:54.010
one and one. feel straight away from. I say these

02:02:54.010 --> 02:02:57.170
fans are in good voice here today. Hear the reaction

02:02:57.170 --> 02:02:59.970
to this intentional pass. This is one of the

02:02:59.970 --> 02:03:03.369
reasons that baseball officials or baseball owners

02:03:03.369 --> 02:03:06.329
decided rules committee decided to leave the

02:03:06.329 --> 02:03:08.529
intentional pass in on four pitches rather than

02:03:08.529 --> 02:03:12.170
just an automatic trip to the plate to the first

02:03:12.170 --> 02:03:15.949
base. It always gets some reaction. Walker Cooper

02:03:15.949 --> 02:03:33.500
is the coach. This is a good idea here. They

02:03:33.500 --> 02:03:35.600
check signs quite often with a man on second.

02:03:36.819 --> 02:03:38.880
Realize the man on second can also see those

02:03:38.880 --> 02:03:40.699
finger signs with a catcher just as well as a

02:03:40.699 --> 02:03:43.260
pitcher. And you can imagine they signed are

02:03:43.260 --> 02:03:46.239
a little more complicated. Good to go out and

02:03:46.239 --> 02:03:48.239
check occasionally and make sure someone didn't

02:03:48.239 --> 02:03:55.979
cross up. of Bob serve in the bottom of the seventh

02:03:55.979 --> 02:04:12.340
score tied by ball. On a second base is lumpy.

02:04:12.420 --> 02:04:21.260
Seeburn the runner at first. Ball breaking down

02:04:21.260 --> 02:04:24.710
and also appeared to be. Off the plate outside.

02:04:25.510 --> 02:04:26.909
Serve up there wants to get a piece of that ball

02:04:26.909 --> 02:04:30.329
he sees all those RBI's out in front of him there.

02:04:31.369 --> 02:04:35.609
On to the count. Serve is the batter Chidi will

02:04:35.609 --> 02:04:42.869
be next. If they don't get the double play. I

02:04:42.869 --> 02:04:53.960
feel deep in. straight away in the infield back

02:04:53.960 --> 02:04:59.100
looking for two. Double football. Out there.

02:04:59.460 --> 02:05:03.119
That's all. Served court one right at the shortstop.

02:05:03.619 --> 02:05:06.579
Held to Temple to power. No runs. One hit. No

02:05:06.579 --> 02:05:09.399
errors. One left. And at the end of seven still

02:05:09.399 --> 02:05:12.979
tied. The Indians five and the Athletics five.

02:05:14.779 --> 02:05:18.319

And I need a pen I can depend on. This is it.

even skip over butter. Papermate is the pen that's

02:06:39.159 --> 02:06:40.920
with pretty good power batting in the number

02:06:40.920 --> 02:06:46.340
seven spot. 29 homers last year, there's ball

02:06:46.340 --> 02:06:57.819
two. Brunette had been up before. Last year he

02:06:57.819 --> 02:07:01.020
was at Portland where he won five and lost 13.

02:07:06.100 --> 02:07:16.359
Ball three. It's the first appearance of the

02:07:16.359 --> 02:07:23.600
year for Brunette. All four. Well that's no way

02:07:23.600 --> 02:07:25.710
to start the A -thing. As far as the athletics

02:07:25.710 --> 02:07:34.029
are concerned. Burnett came on in the sixth inning.

02:07:36.670 --> 02:07:38.489
Gave up a run, then breezed through the seventh.

02:07:39.930 --> 02:07:42.970
Now starts off the eighth by giving a free pass.

02:07:43.010 --> 02:07:47.729
Here's Bubba Phillips. Bunch foul. He has single

02:07:47.729 --> 02:08:03.260
twice out of three trips. And a bunt again. The

02:08:03.260 --> 02:08:07.720
play is to first base. Whoops. Make one sure

02:08:07.720 --> 02:08:09.979
they say and Harry Cheney the catcher called

02:08:09.979 --> 02:08:13.000
the play. You can hear him calling from up here.

02:08:13.260 --> 02:08:19.420
We're going to have a pinch hitter. Harvey Kane

02:08:19.420 --> 02:08:24.140
is coming to the plate. Philip sacrifice held

02:08:24.140 --> 02:08:31.140
his down a second with one out. Here's the power

02:08:31.140 --> 02:08:33.500
who is involved in that controversial trade.

02:08:33.960 --> 02:08:41.619
Call the veto for Harvey Keane. I see he's got

02:08:41.619 --> 02:08:43.899
Rocky's old number down there. So they just swapped

02:08:43.899 --> 02:08:46.699
uniforms, Jack. That's what happens in the scheme

02:08:46.699 --> 02:08:50.319
of baseball. Time breaking right on the second.

02:08:50.340 --> 02:08:57.680
They're going to walk Keane. The A's have a right

02:08:57.680 --> 02:09:00.000
hander warming up in their bullpen and the Indians

02:09:00.000 --> 02:09:02.060
have the right handed batting Johnny Temple coming

02:09:02.060 --> 02:09:05.239
up so we might see some further action here.

02:09:05.260 --> 02:09:07.659
It's a good bet we'll see a runner for Keane

02:09:07.659 --> 02:09:10.399
also with a bad leg who will be on first base.

02:09:23.979 --> 02:09:26.100
So there's the intentional walk. Keane is on

02:09:26.100 --> 02:09:29.119
at first. He's immediately relieved by a pinch

02:09:29.119 --> 02:09:36.220
runner. Runner's on at first and second. Carol

02:09:36.220 --> 02:09:41.500
Hardy is the pinch runner. Johnny Temple the

02:09:41.500 --> 02:09:44.859
batter. And Burnett stays in. Temple has had

02:09:44.859 --> 02:09:48.659
two singles and a double. First and second one

02:09:48.659 --> 02:09:50.340
out. They both got there with walks. We're in

02:09:50.340 --> 02:09:53.600
the eighth and tied five to five. The A's really

02:09:53.600 --> 02:09:55.899
need the double play. Temple needs the base hit.

02:09:56.800 --> 02:10:03.260
Right back here. The lights have been turned

02:10:03.260 --> 02:10:16.000
on here in Kansas City. So Mike Lee will be the

02:10:16.000 --> 02:10:19.699
third Cleveland hurler. Of the day and the bottom

02:10:19.699 --> 02:10:27.430
of the. And just missed on that one. One and

02:10:27.430 --> 02:10:38.189
one. See the first baseman playing behind the

02:10:38.189 --> 02:10:41.569
runner Carol Hardy at first. There's Bubba Phillips

02:10:41.569 --> 02:10:44.489
down at second base. Or rather would he help.

02:10:45.409 --> 02:10:52.210
A little sacrifice in the center. Two balls and

02:10:52.210 --> 02:10:57.109
a strike. Temple doesn't strike out very often

02:10:57.109 --> 02:10:59.010
as we told you. And also he's a tough man to

02:10:59.010 --> 02:11:06.550
double up. They bunched John through the middle.

02:11:06.710 --> 02:11:08.989
That's where he hits usually. Hits the right

02:11:08.989 --> 02:11:10.510
field and up through the middle. You can see

02:11:10.510 --> 02:11:12.430
the two positions short and second there on your

02:11:12.430 --> 02:11:14.930
picture that they're squeezed in towards second

02:11:14.930 --> 02:11:22.189
base. Two balls and a strike they count. He held

02:11:22.189 --> 02:11:28.329
up. Three and one. Three and one the count. Temple

02:11:28.329 --> 02:11:30.529
is looking down at the third base coach Joe Joe

02:11:30.529 --> 02:11:32.970
White. Who in turn was looking into the dugout

02:11:32.970 --> 02:11:46.829
from then into Joe Gordon. Three balls and a

02:11:46.829 --> 02:12:05.930
strike. Think he'll be swinging. The A's have

02:12:05.930 --> 02:12:11.750
a right hander in the bullpen. This fellow is

02:12:11.750 --> 02:12:14.310
also very difficult to double up any pair solve

02:12:14.310 --> 02:12:19.510
and run. Rob Elliott makes no move here in the

02:12:19.510 --> 02:12:21.789
eighth inning bases loaded one out scored time

02:12:21.789 --> 02:12:31.619
five all. back down a piece of paper. He's really

02:12:31.619 --> 02:12:33.539
need to double play at first all needs at least

02:12:33.539 --> 02:12:42.720
the fly ball. Scored tied five and five. All

02:12:42.720 --> 02:12:47.699
the other baseball is over. And everybody else

02:12:47.699 --> 02:12:52.899
played this afternoon. That could use a strikeout.

02:12:55.100 --> 02:12:57.399
There's a high pop up. The infield fire rule

02:12:57.399 --> 02:12:59.619
applies. The batter is out. The bases will still

02:12:59.619 --> 02:13:01.619
be loaded with two men out. The second baseman

02:13:01.619 --> 02:13:09.300
makes the catch. Well there's a big one. Here's

02:13:09.300 --> 02:13:11.960
all really angry as you can see. Popped out to

02:13:11.960 --> 02:13:17.680
lumpy and it puts it up. To the Indian rookie.

02:13:18.960 --> 02:13:21.619
The right fielder Walter Bond. There's Temple

02:13:21.619 --> 02:13:26.560
on a first base. Carol Hardy running for key

02:13:26.560 --> 02:13:28.479
to bat it for the pitcher on its second and what

02:13:28.479 --> 02:13:31.760
he held on at third. Two men out a stunning score

02:13:31.760 --> 02:13:33.939
tied by a ball and here is bond who has a homer

02:13:33.939 --> 02:13:43.399
and a single out of four trips. That got a real

02:13:43.399 --> 02:13:48.739
big out when he got Pierce Hall to pop up. No

02:13:48.739 --> 02:13:51.140
more throwing situation in baseball and bases

02:13:51.140 --> 02:13:54.489
loaded to. You're speaking of a spectator Jack

02:13:54.489 --> 02:14:00.989
not a pitcher, right? Go garden comes hustling

02:14:00.989 --> 02:14:03.010
out the dugout to claim a block on the part of

02:14:03.010 --> 02:14:22.430
the pitcher George Brunette one thing about it.

02:14:22.590 --> 02:14:25.569
Gordon is probably accomplishing something even

02:14:25.569 --> 02:14:27.729
though he is going to lose the argument here

02:14:27.729 --> 02:14:29.930
and that would be to try to upset the pitcher.

02:14:31.550 --> 02:14:34.449
Not only Gordon came up keen and about four other

02:14:34.449 --> 02:14:37.750
players all simultaneously came off of that bench

02:14:37.750 --> 02:14:42.470
when they thought they detected a ball to the

02:14:42.470 --> 02:15:04.229
second baseman. Here's Cedric Adams, syndicated

02:15:04.229 --> 02:15:06.270
columnist for the Minneapolis Star and Tribune

02:15:06.270 --> 02:15:08.529
and famous radio and TV broadcaster, checking

02:15:08.529 --> 02:15:10.930
the news. And has he got a feature story for

02:15:10.930 --> 02:15:14.409
you? Tough beard and tender skin used to be a

02:15:14.409 --> 02:15:16.750
handicap, but brother, not anymore. Gillette

02:15:16.750 --> 02:15:19.390
has a brand new blade for me and men like me.

02:15:19.569 --> 02:15:22.670
It's the new Super Blue Blade, and super it is.

02:15:22.989 --> 02:15:26.130
It actually glides across your face. Why, you

02:15:26.130 --> 02:15:28.989
don't even know you're shaving. Yes, sir, easy

02:15:28.989 --> 02:15:31.800
does it. They tell me years of research are behind

02:15:31.800 --> 02:15:34.619
this blade, and I certainly believe that. The

02:15:34.619 --> 02:15:37.319
Super Blue Blade is made by an entirely new process

02:15:37.319 --> 02:15:40.020
to give you clean, comfortable shaves you may

02:15:40.020 --> 02:15:42.100
never have had before. But you've got to try

02:15:42.100 --> 02:15:44.420
this new blade to believe it. So take my word

02:15:44.420 --> 02:15:46.819
and give it a whirl. Yes, give the Super Blue

02:15:46.819 --> 02:15:49.520
Blade a try. You're in for a new shaving experience

02:15:49.520 --> 02:15:51.699
at a nearby store with a Gillette adjustable

02:15:51.699 --> 02:15:55.779
razor, $1 .95, or a dispenser of 10 .69 cents.

02:15:56.239 --> 02:15:59.449
Bottom of the eighth now on the athletics. We're

02:15:59.449 --> 02:16:01.529
given a life when they get out of that and that

02:16:01.529 --> 02:16:07.909
was equal to the occasion. Last time up and the

02:16:07.909 --> 02:16:13.909
fans are yelling for a little more. The Kansas

02:16:13.909 --> 02:16:20.750
City catcher. A new pitcher is on the mound for

02:16:20.750 --> 02:16:25.270
the Cleveland club. He follows their starter

02:16:25.270 --> 02:16:28.350
Barry Lattman and their first relief man Mudcat

02:16:28.350 --> 02:16:37.370
Grant. It's a big ball six five Mike Lee. Oh

02:16:37.370 --> 02:16:42.129
no excuse me. Change uniforms as often happens

02:16:42.129 --> 02:16:46.250
at this time of year. Paul Paul on our part meant

02:16:46.250 --> 02:16:48.629
too much about it because just didn't recognize

02:16:48.629 --> 02:16:51.969
the fellow Bob Grim is the pitcher. Former member

02:16:51.969 --> 02:16:53.809
of the athletics and of course of the Yankees

02:16:53.809 --> 02:16:58.149
Bob Grim. These days you can't even tell the

02:16:58.149 --> 02:17:00.809
players with a scorecard Jack. You're right.

02:17:02.409 --> 02:17:06.329
Last of the eighth. Grimm pitching to T .D. Ball.

02:17:10.229 --> 02:17:25.639
We're in the eighth. Score tied 5 -0. So, Jim

02:17:25.639 --> 02:17:27.260
Grant, who was in the game, pitched only one

02:17:27.260 --> 02:17:36.040
inning. Wasn't scored a five. Here's the one

02:17:36.040 --> 02:17:40.920
-one. Left center. On the run is Prancota. He

02:17:40.920 --> 02:17:47.600
gets it. Chitty flies to Prancota. Remember,

02:17:47.719 --> 02:17:50.219
Tito was the one who dropped the fly ball back

02:17:50.219 --> 02:17:55.639
in the fifth inning. He squeezed that one. One

02:17:55.639 --> 02:17:58.399
out and here's the. Athletics third baseman.

02:17:59.340 --> 02:18:03.500
Been on base once with a walk he's over to. Bob.

02:18:04.319 --> 02:18:17.959
Johnson. Grim gets a head on him. It's been a

02:18:17.959 --> 02:18:27.750
busy game. A lot of hits. Fall for the Indians.

02:18:28.030 --> 02:18:38.530
Seven for the A's. One out, nobody on. One and

02:18:38.530 --> 02:18:53.719
one to count. Foul out of play. thousand six

02:18:53.719 --> 02:18:56.120
hundred and fifty nine in the ballgame today.

02:19:03.500 --> 02:19:05.959
Here's the one to get down the third baseline

02:19:05.959 --> 02:19:13.399
foul. Remains the same. I would have been troubled

02:19:13.399 --> 02:19:18.940
if Steve there. Walker Cooper talking to Johnson.

02:19:19.319 --> 02:19:21.600
Next Saturday afternoon Gillette will be bringing

02:19:21.600 --> 02:19:23.879
a big league baseball once again as we will be

02:19:23.879 --> 02:19:27.719
every Saturday afternoon Carl and I will be in

02:19:27.719 --> 02:19:31.540
Los Angeles to describe for you the Giant Dodger

02:19:31.540 --> 02:19:37.799
game Join us, will you please? Struck him out

02:19:37.799 --> 02:19:52.139
So Grim retires the first two men Ken Hamlin

02:19:52.139 --> 02:19:54.260
here a homer his last time up and tied the game

02:19:54.260 --> 02:19:57.479
is only hit. And three trips he's the Kansas

02:19:57.479 --> 02:20:04.139
City shortstop. Grim gets ahead here to. And

02:20:04.139 --> 02:20:06.079
as a little fellow at five ten one hundred and

02:20:06.079 --> 02:20:17.159
sixty eight. Two out and the base is empty. The

02:20:17.159 --> 02:20:20.899
A's have hit five home runs this year. And all

02:20:20.899 --> 02:20:29.020
of them have come with the bases empty. Here's

02:20:29.020 --> 02:20:46.920
the one -one. Score tied five to five. Last of

02:20:46.920 --> 02:20:53.399
the eight. Foul. Tonto. Grim's getting the fastball

02:20:53.399 --> 02:20:55.340
over. Getting him out with the fastball and wasting

02:20:55.340 --> 02:21:01.440
the curve, it appears. I first saw this fella.

02:21:01.500 --> 02:21:04.280
He was really a hard thrower. And of course,

02:21:04.459 --> 02:21:06.559
since then, he's developed a good slider and

02:21:06.559 --> 02:21:14.579
a good curve. Polk out now. That's a pattern

02:21:14.579 --> 02:21:16.159
of a young pitcher, Jack. They came in on the

02:21:16.159 --> 02:21:18.879
cover of the leg. Good strong arm. big strong

02:21:18.879 --> 02:21:21.540
back just rare back and throw and they learn

02:21:21.540 --> 02:21:30.920
all these other things. So Ken Hamlin gets a

02:21:30.920 --> 02:21:33.000
base on ball there's a tie breaking run and let's

02:21:33.000 --> 02:21:38.200
see what the A's do. Pitchers due to bat George

02:21:38.200 --> 02:21:48.989
Brunette. No one has come out yet. have a pinch

02:21:48.989 --> 02:22:03.209
hitter. A pinch hitter for George Burnett will

02:22:03.209 --> 02:22:05.170
bring on yet another Kansas City pitcher in the

02:22:05.170 --> 02:22:10.129
ninth inning. In the batter here is Marv Thornberry.

02:22:28.189 --> 02:22:44.129
Two out, run around first. It's been a rather

02:22:44.129 --> 02:22:47.889
long game, two and a half hours right now. But

02:22:47.889 --> 02:23:03.399
a lot of excitement in this 5 -5 contest. Graham

02:23:03.399 --> 02:23:07.440
is way out in front. See the first baseman, Power,

02:23:07.920 --> 02:23:10.639
holding Hamlin close. No balls, two strikes on

02:23:10.639 --> 02:23:22.780
the batter, Throneberry. One and two. Graham

02:23:22.780 --> 02:23:39.229
and Throneberry were teammates at one time. Here's

02:23:39.229 --> 02:23:42.370
the one and two. Brownberry down on strikes.

02:23:42.489 --> 02:23:44.329
Grimm got two strikeouts in that inning. No runs,

02:23:44.469 --> 02:23:46.909
no hits, no errors, one left. And so at the end

02:23:46.909 --> 02:23:49.350
of the eighth inning, the score is Indians five,

02:23:49.629 --> 02:24:34.370
Athletics five. And now it's the ninth inning

02:24:34.370 --> 02:24:41.129
of the ballgame. baseball is over Detroit 6 Chicago

02:24:41.129 --> 02:24:47.469
2 Boston 8 Washington 3 Yankees 3 Baltimore 2

02:24:47.469 --> 02:24:51.090
and in the National League all of those ballgames

02:24:51.090 --> 02:24:53.450
are over Philadelphia defeated Cincinnati 3 to

02:24:53.450 --> 02:24:57.450
2 Pittsburgh knocked off the Braves 5 to 4 the

02:24:57.450 --> 02:25:00.829
Giants buried the Cubs 18 to 2 and the Cardinals

02:25:00.829 --> 02:25:03.750
won their third in a row taking the Dodgers 9

02:25:03.750 --> 02:25:12.989
to 5. A new pitcher for the Athletics. Dick Hall

02:25:12.989 --> 02:25:15.110
started. Trowbridge came out in the first inning.

02:25:15.950 --> 02:25:20.530
Brunette in the sixth inning. And now it's Marty

02:25:20.530 --> 02:25:30.510
Coutina. Marty Coutina. He'll be facing the big

02:25:30.510 --> 02:25:36.700
hitters on the Cleveland club. So we're in the

02:25:36.700 --> 02:25:38.940
ninth but nothing has been settled. Still tied

02:25:38.940 --> 02:25:42.940
five and five. Bettina has appeared in one game.

02:25:43.420 --> 02:25:51.639
Having pitched one and eight. Formerly the property

02:25:51.639 --> 02:25:54.860
to the Cardinals. Pitched only seven innings

02:25:54.860 --> 02:25:56.840
for the A's last year. Spent most of his time

02:25:56.840 --> 02:26:00.219
at Portland where he won 14 and lost 10. Here's

02:26:00.219 --> 02:26:02.340
Tito Francona to start it off in the ninth inning.

02:26:02.600 --> 02:26:05.120
He walked twice and lumpy threw him out twice

02:26:05.120 --> 02:26:24.459
from second base. Curveball ball one. Shot foul.

02:26:25.420 --> 02:26:29.420
One and one. The fourth Kansas City Huller in

02:26:29.420 --> 02:26:34.260
the ballgame. Cleveland meanwhile he goes three.

02:26:36.239 --> 02:26:40.079
He started laughing and ran in the seventh Grim

02:26:40.079 --> 02:26:44.040
in the eighth and was still in a foul out of

02:26:44.040 --> 02:26:47.860
play. And Francona is in the hole one and two.

02:27:05.930 --> 02:27:10.030
out the one to pitch. They said to left a single

02:27:10.030 --> 02:27:16.030
for Frank Conner to left. His first hit third

02:27:16.030 --> 02:27:19.690
time he's been on base. And there is the lead

02:27:19.690 --> 02:27:23.629
run. Stroke that nicely to the opposite field.

02:27:24.370 --> 02:27:25.930
Well they said by the book that's where you're

02:27:25.930 --> 02:27:27.829
supposed to hit a curve ball and I think folks

02:27:27.829 --> 02:27:30.090
at home on their screen could see that that pitch

02:27:30.090 --> 02:27:32.610
was a curve ball. He laid it in the left field

02:27:32.610 --> 02:27:38.040
for a base hit. Now it's Russ Nixon the catcher.

02:27:38.040 --> 02:27:42.180
Who has a single out of four trips. And has going

02:27:42.180 --> 02:27:49.200
around. Time called. Francona was breaking with

02:27:49.200 --> 02:27:56.799
the pitch but time had been called. Interesting

02:27:56.799 --> 02:27:58.620
to see what happens on this play we'll keep an

02:27:58.620 --> 02:28:00.239
eye on the base runner for your Seaborn holding

02:28:00.239 --> 02:28:10.520
him close. Popped up. Third baseman wants it.

02:28:10.559 --> 02:28:16.540
Now the shortstop, Hamlin. Nixon pops out to

02:28:16.540 --> 02:28:20.760
the shortstop. And here's the Kansas City favorite

02:28:20.760 --> 02:29:18.989
coming. J .D. talking to Tina. Run around first

02:29:18.989 --> 02:29:22.870
to be looking forward to the. Ninth inning for

02:29:22.870 --> 02:29:24.590
the A's it's due to be at the top of the order.

02:29:24.590 --> 02:29:33.989
Tuttle lumpy and bowler. Might have been a pitch

02:29:33.989 --> 02:29:39.709
out. Tina has a. unusual style he steps almost

02:29:39.709 --> 02:29:43.309
as a crossfire sidearmor but his his right arm

02:29:43.309 --> 02:29:48.229
comes over the top. He's keeping a real good

02:29:48.229 --> 02:29:56.690
eye on Frank Conan. If held here it keeps the

02:29:56.690 --> 02:30:00.030
inning going. Love of Phillips will be the batter.

02:30:00.329 --> 02:30:06.950
Two men out here in the top of the ninth. situation

02:30:06.950 --> 02:30:09.170
like this you oftentimes see them turn the hitter

02:30:09.170 --> 02:30:16.430
loose on a three nothing pitch. Run around first

02:30:16.430 --> 02:30:20.489
to outscored tied 5 all in the ninth ball for.

02:30:23.729 --> 02:30:29.350
Francona goes to second. The batter is due to

02:30:29.350 --> 02:30:32.770
be Phillips. We're going to have a pinch hitter

02:30:32.770 --> 02:30:45.940
I believe. Bob Hale is going to come out and

02:30:45.940 --> 02:30:53.959
that. Phillips had gone two for three in the

02:30:53.959 --> 02:30:58.739
game. Bob Hale an infielder formerly with Baltimore.

02:31:01.340 --> 02:31:03.620
Left handed batter comes out to hit. So a single

02:31:03.620 --> 02:31:07.479
and a walk is put the. Athletics in trouble foul

02:31:07.479 --> 02:31:21.159
out of play. Two on and two out. The Indians

02:31:21.159 --> 02:31:23.239
have left quite a few stranded in the ballgame.

02:31:23.700 --> 02:31:30.879
They've left a total of ten men on base. Curveball.

02:31:31.379 --> 02:31:47.489
Coutinho should throw them out. ninth inning

02:31:47.489 --> 02:31:50.229
the score is still tied Indians five athletics

02:31:50.229 --> 02:31:53.829
by. The left range of big league baseball every

02:31:53.829 --> 02:32:05.450
Saturday. Mr Loffa yeah it's almost seven oh

02:32:05.450 --> 02:32:10.329
thank you I'll be right there. But Frank there's

02:32:10.329 --> 02:32:12.309
nothing to worry about I'm mining the store good

02:32:12.309 --> 02:32:13.950
evening Peter well good evening welcome to the

02:32:13.950 --> 02:32:15.489
change that will help. You and Frank should now

02:32:15.489 --> 02:32:17.569
have a beautiful restaurant. Did you hear that?

02:32:17.809 --> 02:32:19.430
Anthony Booth, I'll be with you in a minute.

02:32:23.270 --> 02:32:27.270
Good evening, Bucci. Yes, Frank. Everything is

02:32:27.270 --> 02:32:31.790
the coolest, Frank. There's nothing like a Gillette

02:32:31.790 --> 02:32:34.370
shave to look your best. And this new Gillette

02:32:34.370 --> 02:32:37.530
adjustable, well, it's the end. The swinging

02:32:37.530 --> 02:32:40.450
end. And that's especially true with the new

02:32:40.450 --> 02:32:42.899
Gillette super blue blade. This blade shaves

02:32:42.899 --> 02:32:45.700
you so keen, so smooth in any Gillette razor,

02:32:46.000 --> 02:32:48.159
you have to try it to believe it. You get the

02:32:48.159 --> 02:32:50.299
super blue blade with a Gillette adjustable razor

02:32:50.299 --> 02:32:57.819
for $1 .95. Nine -tening and the ball goes around

02:32:57.819 --> 02:33:00.260
the infield. Bob Grimm has this ball game to

02:33:00.260 --> 02:33:03.780
hang onto. It's tied 5 -5. The A's looking for

02:33:03.780 --> 02:33:06.040
their second in a row over Cleveland. Cleveland

02:33:06.040 --> 02:33:07.579
trying to win their first of the year and here's

02:33:07.579 --> 02:33:09.319
the top of the order, the center fielder Bill

02:33:09.319 --> 02:33:11.930
Tuttle. George Strickland is the third baseman

02:33:11.930 --> 02:33:20.430
now for Cleveland. There's the base hit. Makes

02:33:20.430 --> 02:33:24.770
a wide turn. A single for Cuddle. That's the

02:33:24.770 --> 02:33:26.850
first time he's been on base and the A's fans

02:33:26.850 --> 02:33:28.829
say it couldn't have happened at a better time.

02:33:30.530 --> 02:33:37.520
Bill Cuddle parked one through the middle. only

02:33:37.520 --> 02:33:39.479
hit number eight for the A's have been out hit

02:33:39.479 --> 02:33:42.559
13 to 8. They could win it right here. Here is

02:33:42.559 --> 02:33:44.059
lumpy and of course they'll be looking for the

02:33:44.059 --> 02:33:55.579
button. Good fun. You'll be out at first. Seeing

02:33:55.579 --> 02:33:57.319
a lot of good sacrificing in the game today.

02:34:07.719 --> 02:34:10.620
They go back to that one run brand of baseball.

02:34:11.200 --> 02:34:14.020
Hank Bauer, who is already considered the mayor

02:34:14.020 --> 02:34:16.719
of Kansas City, could really be a popular guy

02:34:16.719 --> 02:34:20.020
right here. Now the Indians have a couple of

02:34:20.020 --> 02:34:21.840
choices to make. They have first base open. They

02:34:21.840 --> 02:34:24.280
could pitch to Bauer and walk Sievern. Or they

02:34:24.280 --> 02:34:26.540
could walk Bauer and bring in left handed or

02:34:26.540 --> 02:34:29.059
pitch to Sievern. All of those things are going

02:34:29.059 --> 02:34:33.440
to be discussed right now on the mound between

02:34:33.440 --> 02:34:36.319
Gordon number 35, catcher Nixon and the pitcher

02:34:36.319 --> 02:35:02.309
Bob Grimm. He's in trouble right here. In a pitch

02:35:02.309 --> 02:35:05.069
to our base not going to get this time we can

02:35:05.069 --> 02:35:07.950
fly and power the batter. He's all for three

02:35:07.950 --> 02:35:22.370
he struck out twice. Seaborn is due to that next.

02:35:23.350 --> 02:35:25.450
To repeat, Bill Tuttle, at whom you're looking

02:35:25.450 --> 02:36:09.420
now, can really run. by the score of six to five.

02:36:09.600 --> 02:36:12.600
We've driven the hosing cover, and Marty Kutsana

02:36:12.600 --> 02:36:15.479
getting the win in the ball game. The final score,

02:36:15.639 --> 02:36:17.860
the Athletics six and the Indians five.
