  The San Francisco Giants faced the Chicago Cubs at Scottsdale Stadium in Arizona for a spring training game on March 8, 1972.
• 0:15
  San Francisco was managed by Charlie Fox and were coming off a strong season in 1971, despite losing to the Pirates in the NLCS.
• 0:23
  Chicago was managed by Leo De Rocher in his seventh and what would turn out to be his final season with the Cubs.
• 0:28
  This audio recording is from the San Francisco Radio broadcast featuring announcers Lon Simmons and Bill Thompson.
• 0:34
  Well, that is the bat, Willie May, from the leadoff position. May from the leadoff play center field.
• 0:39
  Keto Quintes batting number two, playing second base. Another experiment, Dave Kingman batting number three and playing third base.
• 0:47
  Willie McCovey at first base, batting number four. Bobby Bonds hitting fifth, playing in right field.
• 0:54
  Kenny Henderson in left field, batting number six. Fran Healy doing the catching and batting seventh.
• 1:01
  Chris Spire, who is conducting an experiment of his own this year. He's trying switch hitting.
• 1:07
  He is batting eighth. And Don Carrithers, who won five and lost three for the Giants last year, both as a starter and reliever.
• 1:15
  He will be on the mound for the Giants.
• 1:19
  The Cubs, Rick Mundy acquired and traded from the Oakland A's and traded from the center left-hander Ken Holzman to open.
• 1:25
  He will be in center field and might be the answer to the Chicago Cubs' difficulties in the past in center field.
• 1:32
  Glenn Beckert will be at second base, batting number two. Billy Williams in left field, hitting number three.
• 1:39
  Ron Sando or Joe Capitone at first base, hitting fourth. Ron Sando batting number five and playing third base.
• 1:46
  Jose Carden now in right field, hitting sixth. Don Kessinger, the shortstop, batting seventh.
• 1:51
  Ken Rudolph is the catcher hitting eighth. And Ferguson Jenkins prepares for the first pitch.
• 1:56
  The right-hander delivers to Willie Mays, who takes high and inside for a ball, 1-0.
• 2:00
  The Cy Young winner, Ferguson Jenkins, five consecutive seasons, the 20-game winner, 24 wins last year.
• 2:08
  Mays takes low and away for a ball two. Jenkins with a good fastball and excellent slider.
• 2:14
  This is the 25th spring opener for the Giants in Arizona.
• 2:20
  As Mays bats against Ferguson Jenkins, the outfield is around to the left. The infield backed up against Willie.
• 2:26
  Willie bluffs a bunch, takes inside for ball three.
• 2:29
  Willie will be doing some things up there as the leadoff man that he doesn't do in the number three position, of course.
• 2:37
  Willie will be trying to get his way on ahead of the Kingman's McCuffys to follow. Strike call, three and one.
• 2:47
  Art Williams, the home plate umpire, Paul Runge at first, and Hal Vann at third.
• 2:53
  Williams, who umpired here in spring training last year, a minor league umpire, who will probably be in the middle.
• 2:59
  Mays deserves a drive to deep left field. That one going back all the way to the fence and waiting for it in left field.
• 3:05
  He's got the ball. Billy Williams dropped the ball. That was 370 feet from the plate.
• 3:12
  Williams backed up against the wall and in this high sky of Arizona and looking into the sun,
• 3:18
  Williams dropped the ball right by the barrier and Mays winds up at second base.
• 3:23
  The next batter, number 23, People Products and Service.
• 3:28
  Three of the many reasons you'll want to stop at Standard Stations and Chevron Dealers along the Chevron way.
• 3:35

• 3:47
  Mays at second base, Tito Point is up here batting left handed. He takes his strike.
• 3:52
  The defense double play combination now will be, both will be switch hitting at least for a time as Chris Fier is trying it and Tito has for the past few years.
• 4:02
  And Tito batting left handed against the right hander Jenkins.
• 4:05
  Fitch to Tito. Broken bat, blooper down the right field line. If that stays fair, it's trouble. It's a fair ball.
• 4:10
  Mays will come in to score. 26 for second base. He has a broken bat double and the Giants lead it by a score of 1 to nothing.
• 4:17
  As the first two hitters for the Giants score the first run of the season.
• 4:22
  And air charged to Williams on that drop fly ball. This is a double for 20.
• 4:28
  Mays hit the ball hard to left field. A high drive that appeared for a moment as though it had a chance of getting out of here.
• 4:34
  Williams backed up to the fence and then dropped the ball.
• 4:37
  Then Tito hit one off the end of the bat, broke the bat, and blooped it in down the right field line for a double.
• 4:44
  He's at second and Dave Kingman, right hand batter up here, swings and misses strike one.
• 4:48
  Kingman is going to wear out left handers. He's going to have to learn a bit about hitting the right handers.
• 4:52
  But he batted 278 in his brief stint with the Giants last year, 41 games.
• 4:58
  He had six home runs, 10 doubles, and two triples.
• 5:03
  A big problem this year for the young fella is whether he can concentrate on two things.
• 5:08
  A curve is low for a ball one on one, that is trying to hit major league pitching and trying to play third base, a new position for him.
• 5:15
  He is an excellent athlete. A surprising quickness for fellow 6'6".
• 5:21
  And he needs the quickness at third base.
• 5:23
  Of course, this is not to say that Dave Kingman is going to play third base because there's a fella by the name of Alan Gallagher that played it last year that figures the job was his.
• 5:32
  Pitch to Kingman a curve low for a ball.
• 5:35
  The obvious reason that they want Kingman in at third base is for his power hitting.
• 5:40
  Bobby Bonds discussing the number three spot in the batting order said, well, he's not too sure about maize batting.
• 5:46
  First maize has the experience to bat third. He says, after you've made outs, pitch to Kingman is low for a ball.
• 5:53
  He says, batting in the number three spot and after you've made outs that ended innings about five or six consecutive times,
• 5:59
  you'll notice when you look down the bench that Willie McCovey is sort of looking at you.
• 6:07
  Kingman waiting as Jenkins looks back at second base.
• 6:12
  The pitch to the big guy, he checks his swing and takes outside for ball four.
• 6:15
  Close pitch, but Kingman held up on the delivery.
• 6:18
  He goes to first base. One is at second and Willie McCovey coming back from neacer three in the offseason.
• 6:26
  Willie last year was plagued by bad knee all season long without a good cheer of the year.
• 6:32
  Two seventy-seven batting average, eighteen home runs, seventy RBI.
• 6:36
  A good season for most people, not a good one for McCovey.
• 6:40
  Willie has hit three home runs in inter-squad games so far this spring.
• 6:47
  And he's up here to bat left-handed against Jenkins as the outfield is well around to the right and backed up.
• 6:51
  The pitch has hit high and foul to the right over near the stands going over as Pepitone long run.
• 6:56
  It will be back into the seats as Pepitone and Becherts, the second baseman, go over to the low railing.
• 7:01
  At capacity, how's it turn away?
• 7:03
  Out there is a standing room crowd out behind the chain-link fence in the right field corner in foul territory.
• 7:13
  But it is jammed here in Scottsdale for this one.
• 7:16
  They had to turn people away.
• 7:18
  Everyone counts on McCovey, nobody down, a run in.
• 7:21
  Mays safe on Billy Williams there.
• 7:23
  Fwonty's doubled him home.
• 7:24
  And Kingman walked.
• 7:25
  Kingman at first.
• 7:26
  Fwonty's at second.
• 7:27
  Kessinger breaks in behind.
• 7:28
  Tito at second base.
• 7:29
  The pitch outside for a ball.
• 7:31
  Jenkins having his control problems.
• 7:33
  Jenkins, a fellow that in the regular season, you have to get two in the first couple of innings.
• 7:39
  If he gets by the first two, and this is true of a lot of the good pitchers that have a little trouble settling down the first couple of innings,
• 7:47
  if they get by that and you give them a run or something, give them a lead.
• 7:51
  They're tough.
• 7:53
  Jenkins pitched to McCovey, a breaking pitch high for a ball.
• 7:57
  Two and one.
• 8:05
  One to nothing, the Giants in front.
• 8:07
  Spring training opened for the Giants last year.
• 8:11
  15 and 11 record in spring training games.
• 8:13
  The Cubs were their leading team in the Cactus League play.
• 8:18
  Giants went on to win the Western Division Championship.
• 8:20
  Swing and a looper out into short left.
• 8:22
  That one's going to drop in in front of Williams.
• 8:24
  Fwonty's is heading for the play.
• 8:25
  Williams has the ball bounced off his glove.
• 8:27
  Kingman goes to third.
• 8:28
  McCovey's at first with a bloop single.
• 8:30
  And Fwonty's comes in with a second run.
• 8:34
  So they're wearing Jenkins out.
• 8:36
  A dropped fly ball and two pop flies off the end of the bat that dropped in.
• 8:41
  McCovey has an RBI single.
• 8:44
  The Giants in front, two to nothing.
• 8:47
  The old saying about better to be lucky than good.
• 8:52
  Well, McCovey is definitely good.
• 8:55
  In that time he was very lucky.
• 8:57
  So he had both things going for him.
• 8:59
  Now Bobby Barnes in the number five spot.
• 9:01
  Barnes, the Giants' leading hitter last year, an RBI, home runs, takes low for a ball.
• 9:07
  One and oh.
• 9:08
  And third is Kingman at first is McCovey.
• 9:11
  Gioia Malfatano, a new member of the Giants.
• 9:13
  He was formerly on the first base coaching line for the Cubs.
• 9:17
  He is coaching at first base for San Francisco and Johnny McNamara over at third.
• 9:23
  Outfield to the left for Barnes, backed up, double play position in the infield.
• 9:28
  Curve is outside for a ball.
• 9:40
  Two and oh count on Barnes.
• 9:42
  McCovey was a short lead at first and Kingman moves away from third base.
• 9:46
  Jenkins from the stretch, the pitch, top foul out of play.
• 9:51
  Two and one.
• 9:55
  Barnes batted 288 last year.
• 9:58
  Barnes, as most of the Giants last year, suffered through injury torment for a while.
• 10:05
  He was sidelined for a short period of time.
• 10:08
  It seemed like everybody was sick, lame, and halted one time or another during that 71 season.
• 10:14
  Blowing away for a ball three.
• 10:17
  Jenkins having difficulty finding the play.
• 10:22
  And he's behind three and one to Barnes.
• 10:24
  He hasn't been retired yet, although it may have been on the fly ball to Williams that Williams dropped for an error.
• 10:30
  Three-one pitch.
• 10:31
  Ponds grounded to shortstop, could be two.
• 10:33
  Over to second for one.
• 10:34
  Becker's throw to first.
• 10:35
  In time, double play.
• 10:37
  Ponds bounding into a double play from Kessinger to Becker to Pepitone.
• 10:43
  So the Cubs who were having trouble getting one get two on that play.
• 10:46
  And Kenny Henderson will be the batter.
• 10:53
  Dave Kingman came in to score on that double play.
• 10:56
  So the Giants now have themselves a three to nothing margin as Kingman crosses the plate and the Cubs were converting the two out.
• 11:06
  Kenny Henderson fouls the first pitch back batting left-handed.
• 11:09
  Kenny is switch batter.
• 11:11
  Strike one count.
• 11:12
  Henderson.
• 11:15
  Also, Ken started out brilliantly last year and then he was hurt.
• 11:20
  Pond up hitting 264 with 15 home runs, 65 RBIs.
• 11:25
  Takes outside for a ball.
• 11:29
  Count of a ball and a strike.
• 11:35
  One-and-one count to Henderson.
• 11:37
  Base is empty.
• 11:38
  Three runs in.
• 11:39
  Pitch outside for a ball.
• 11:40
  Jenkins missing with that one and it's two and one.
• 11:42
  Fran Healy on deck.
• 11:46
  Scheduled to be Jenkins, Pappas, and Regan for the Cubs.
• 11:52
  Carruthers, Dequisto.
• 11:56
  Strike called and John Cumberland for the Giants.
• 11:59
  Two-and-one count to Henderson.
• 12:02
  Giants in front, three to nothing.
• 12:05
  May is safe on an error.
• 12:07
  Pwanty's doubled him home.
• 12:08
  Kingman walks.
• 12:09
  McCovey singles.
• 12:10
  Ground ball to Sharpley hits the first.
• 12:11
  Pepitone knocks it down and rolls away from it and picks it up.
• 12:13
  Throws the first to Jenkins covering inside.
• 12:16
  Good play by Pepitone on a shot hit by Henderson.
• 12:21
  And here in the first inning for the Giants, three runs on two hits, one error, and no one left on.
• 12:28
  We go to the bottom of the first.
• 12:29
  The Giants lead three to nothing.
• 12:31
  You know.
• 12:34
  Don Carruthers, young right-hander for the Giants.
• 12:37
  Don, well, there are a lot of jobs open on the pitching staff.
• 12:42
  And Don is working for one of those.
• 12:44
  Don said before the game, Sam McDowell is known as a character before he got to the Giants.
• 12:51
  And he's not going to do anything related to ruin that image.
• 12:55
  He said to Carruthers, Carruthers was sitting in the dressing room for the game in the clubhouse.
• 13:00
  And he said to manager Charlie Fox, he said, who's pitching today?
• 13:05
  And Fox says Carruthers is starting.
• 13:07
  And McDowell says that's how we're trying to win.
• 13:16
  Rick Mundy will lead off, left-hand batter.
• 13:18
  The fellow trying to answer the center field problems of the Chicago Cubs takes a fastball outside for a ball one-on-o.
• 13:23
  The Giants defensively, Henderson in left, Mays in center, Barnes in right.
• 13:27
  Kingman at third, Spire at short, 20s at second, McCovey at first, Dan Healy the catcher.
• 13:33
  Carruthers deals off to Mundy.
• 13:35
  Top foul out of play and it's a ball and a strike.
• 13:39
  Carruthers has to keep the ball down.
• 13:45
  That's a fine shutout against Houston.
• 13:47
  Any shutout to pitch is a fine one, I guess.
• 13:53
  Kingman, besides having to learn how to pick up the ball and throw it, is going to have to learn about positioning himself at third.
• 13:59
  There's a drive deep to left field down the line, twisting away from Henderson.
• 14:03
  It lands a one-hop, picked off by Henderson, and Mundy has himself an off-field double.
• 14:08
  Mundy hits that ball hard to the opposite field.
• 14:10
  Henderson chased it down and got it back to the infield, but Mundy had himself a double.
• 14:19
  Each team starts off with a runner at second base on a drive to left field.
• 14:24
  Rick Mundy, in first appearance in a game as the Chicago Cubs, doubles the left field.
• 14:30
  Glenn Beckert will be the batter, right-hand batting second base and one of the toughest men in baseball to strike out.
• 14:36
  It's last year, 3-42.
• 14:43
  Look at second by Carruthers, the pitch to Beckert, a breaking pitch for a strike, 0-1.
• 14:49
  Think about Mr. Valuble, Glenn Beckert certainly has come along to be one of the top Chicago Cubs in the field and at the plate.
• 15:02
  Spire bluffing behind Mundy at second, the pitch to Beckert popped up into short left.
• 15:06
  This may be one of those little loopers that dropped in.
• 15:08
  Henderson comes on, he makes the catch.
• 15:10
  Kenny Henderson, a one-handed catch.
• 15:13
  This is something, the way they're hitting him off the fifth and off the end of the bat.
• 15:17
  That one popped into short left, but Henderson with his good speed was able to get there to make the one-handed catch.
• 15:24
  Name the car you consider the most dependable.
• 15:26
  Chevy Nova, right?
• 15:28
  Novas earned the admiration of just about everybody with a reputation like that.
• 15:31
  You'd expect the 72 Nova to be the best car you ever owned.
• 15:36
  Billy Williams.
• 15:38
  The guy always looks like he has to hit 600 and hit 60 home runs every year, left-hand batter with a smooth swing and baseball.
• 15:47
  At second base is Mundy, he remains there as Henderson caught Beckert's bid for a base hit, a strike call in the knees and the outside.
• 15:57
  Where in the bottom of the first, the Giants lead 3-0, the Cubs have a runner.
• 16:01
  At second base, Rick Mundy, Billy Williams, who hit 3-0-1 last year, drove in 93 runs with 28 home runs.
• 16:09
  He's up here, one strike pitch, popped up down the left field line, a long run for Henderson.
• 16:13
  He is drifting near the line, he's there and makes the catch for the second out.
• 16:18
  Williams flies the left and it's obvious from the swings here by the two left-hand hitters that Carruthers is putting quite a bit on the pitch, is getting it by those left-handers.
• 16:28
  Williams flying out to the off field, Mundy doubling to the off field and now another left-hand batter, Joe Pepitone is up here.
• 16:39
  Joe spent the off season as the lead role in the hair.
• 16:51
  Pepitone waiting, Mundy at second base.
• 16:54
  Mundy looks back, the pitch to Pepitone, grounded to second base, Mundy scoops it up, throws the first at the scoreless inning for Carruthers.
• 17:01
  Despite the leadoff double, hair in the first, no runs on the hit, no errors and a runner left on.
• 17:07
  At the end of one, the Giants 3 and the Cubs nothing.
• 17:12
  I'd like to talk to you guys about your wives, about something they might be missing.
• 17:16
  No, don't worry, I'm not about to play marriage counselor.
• 17:19
  I just want to remind you that your wife may not have a Bank of America card of her own.
• 17:23
  You know how useful your Bank of America card is to you.
• 17:26
  Well, if your Bank of America card is useful to you, it can be just as useful, maybe even more so, to a woman.
• 17:31
  Say for instance she gets into an emergency situation with a car when you're not around.
• 17:35
  A Bank of America card could really come in handy.
• 17:38
  Or what about the end of the month when you want to know where all the money went?
• 17:41
  If she had used a Bank of America card, she'd have a written record of all her purchases.
• 17:46
  And think about how you can cut down on the time it takes to write all those separate checks.
• 17:51
  Add it all up and see if you don't agree that your wife should have a Bank of America card too.
• 17:57
  Bank of America card, think of it as money, his and hers money.
• 18:04
  A little touchy humor there.
• 18:10
  We go to the second inning.
• 18:14
  And as long as this is spring trading, let Bill Thompson get the kinks out of his Thompson.
• 18:21
  Catcher Fran Healy hitting seventh in the Giants or deleted off in shortstop crisp fire
• 18:26
  and pitcher Don Gridders against Ferguson Jenkins here in the top of inning number two.
• 18:29
  How come you haven't asked me about my vacation yet?
• 18:31
  We'll hear about that all through the season, I'm sure.
• 18:37
  Right-hander Jenkins kicks and throws to the right-hander batting Healy who bounds it to third base foul.
• 18:41
  He goes by Sano outside the line.
• 18:49
  Healy last year got off to a great start for the Giants, particularly in a pinch hitting role.
• 18:54
  He had a big pinch hit all matter in the season to beat Houston.
• 18:57
  Finished with a very respectable year batting 280, appearing in 47 games.
• 19:04
  Fran 6-5, native of Massachusetts. Jenkins to the plate, breaking pitch low.
• 19:14
  If Kingman plays third base, McCovey at first base and Healy behind the plate, you get some height.
• 19:21
  Dodgers up, be careful about starting a fight this year.
• 19:24
  1-1 pitch to Healy, low, ball two.
• 19:32
  McCovey in field, the bits to the left are straight away.
• 19:34
  The outfield the same way, Monday just slightly in the left center.
• 19:38
  Williams deep in left, she keeps checking the sun.
• 19:42
  It is going to be tough on all the outfielders.
• 19:44
  Low again is Jenkins, ball three.
• 19:47
  Jenkins drops behind on Healy, three balls and one strike.
• 19:59
  Jenkins to the plate, 3-1.
• 20:02
  Outside and low, breaking pitch, ball four.
• 20:04
  Healy draws the watch, number two given up by Jenkins.
• 20:07
  And Chris Spire, the Giants shortstop, will move in.
• 20:10
  Chris, experimenting as a switch hitter, as Lon mentioned, will be making his first appearance against
• 20:17
  any other than his own teammates as a left-handed batter.
• 20:21
  Healy at first, nobody out. Top of the second, Giants lead three to nothing.
• 20:26
  Jenkins from the stretch, misses low, ball one.
• 20:29
  Sano crowds him on the grass at third.
• 20:32
  Becker, Kessinger, short and up.
• 20:34
  The outfield, shallow, with Mundy playing Spire as a late swinger to left center.
• 20:40
  Jenkins gets the fastball over in the outside corner, 1-1 count.
• 20:44
  Williams, shallow, near the line and left.
• 20:48
  Cardinal, well off the line and right field.
• 20:52
  Capiton, playing a step behind Healy at first base as Jenkins looks there, comes to the plate.
• 20:56
  Gets the outside corner called strike two.
• 21:06
  Jenkins checking signs with catcher Ken Rudolph.
• 21:10
  Healy away from first.
• 21:11
  Breaking pitch, a half swing, and he checked in time.
• 21:15
  Played up by Art Williams, saying Spire did not go through,
• 21:20
  and King asked to check for the first base umpire Paul Runge.
• 21:25
  The decision will stand.
• 21:27
  Count on Spire, goes to two balls and two strikes.
• 21:31
  Healy again moving away from first.
• 21:32
  Capiton playing off the bag now.
• 21:35
  Sort of first.
• 21:36
  Capiton had to cross behind Healy to make the catch.
• 21:39
  Jenkins throw over there.
• 21:46
  Goes to the plate, 2-2, outside, a full count, three balls, two strikes.
• 21:50
  Yon deck circle for the Giants, Richard Dime, Carruthers.
• 22:05
  Jenkins looking to Rudolph for a sign, as one he likes.
• 22:09
  Quick throw to first, Healy back in.
• 22:11
  So the full count, three and two.
• 22:13
  Capiton now playing on the bag, holding Healy there.
• 22:19
  Jenkins sets, 3-2 pitch.
• 22:21
  Outside ball for those fire walks.
• 22:25
  That pushes Healy up to second.
• 22:27

  A one-strike count on Carruthers.
• 23:18

• 23:21
  Carruthers around the bunt, bunts it down to third base line.

  It's a good bunt.

  Sanna has to come into field, throws to first.
• 23:26
  M. Dime with Becker covers.
• 23:28

• 23:37
  Carruthers retired on their sacrifice.
• 23:40
  Sanna to Becker's cover.
• 23:42
  And Willie Mays will be the Giants batter.
• 23:44
  Next time you pull into a gas station, remember to pull out your Bank of America card.
• 23:48
  It's money to get you where you want to go.
• 23:51
  Mays, safe on Williams' error in the first inning, later scored the Giants' first run.
• 23:55
  Mays had a towering drive to the left field fence.
• 23:58
  Williams lost the ball in the sun, had it skip off the tip of his glove.
• 24:03
  Cubs play the infield back as Jenkins works from a windup and Mays swings in a breaking pitch and misses, strike one.
• 24:09
  Healy at third, spire at second, one out top of the second, and the Giants lead 3-0, threatening to get more.
• 24:17

• 24:31
  Big right hander under the motion, 0-2 pitch, breaking pitch, loop to left center field.
• 24:35

• 24:57
  Tito Pouenis, who had a broken bat doubled on the right field line, his first time to drive in the Giants first run will be the batter.
• 25:05
  Tito switch batter, batting left handed.
• 25:15
  Jenkins now works in the stretch.
• 25:17
  Bundy very shallow in center field. Williams the same way and left against Pouenis.
• 25:21
  Jenkins with a play. Line drive, pass Becker.
• 25:24
  Mays hit right field. Mays held up. Now comes the third. Will not try to score.
• 25:29
  As Cardinal hustles the ball in a line drive just out of the reach of Glenn Beckert.
• 25:33
  Mays had to hold up at second thinking Beckert might be able to make the catch.
• 25:36
  The ball went through into right field. Willey moved over to third. Tito is on it first with a base hit.
• 25:41
  Tito now two for two. And Tito hit that single about three times as hard as he hit the double in the first inning.
• 25:48
  Here's Dave Kingman who walked this quarter a run in the first inning.
• 25:53
  Giants with two runs in, one out. Runners at the corners. Mays at third, Pouenis at first.
• 25:58
  The Cubs will play the infield double play deep.
• 26:07
  Pouenis moving away from first. Jenkins looks there, comes to the play.
• 26:12
  Kingman foul tips the first pitch into Rudolph's glove, strike one.
• 26:19
  One strike out on the right end of batting Dave Kingman.
• 26:29
  Jenkins sets up the belt, the O-1 pitch. Popped up foul off first base drifting back into the stands or
• 26:37
  like over the seats into the parking lot.
• 26:42
  Jenkins in front of Kingman, O-2.
• 26:48
  Rudolph out to talk with the Cubs pitcher.
• 26:52
  Conversation now breaks up as Rudolph heads back behind the plate.
• 26:57
  Mays at third talking with Johnny McNamara. Willey standing on the back. Now will move away.
• 27:04
  Pouenis is shorted at first.
• 27:10
  Jenkins ready, O-2 pitch.
• 27:12
  Fastball inside at the golf ball one. Kingman leaning over that plate, he's there to be looking for a breaking pitch.
• 27:19
  Jenkins hummed one, fell high on the inside. Straightened Dave up in a hurry.
• 27:25
  A ball and two strikes on the Giants third baseman.
• 27:31
  Jenkins with a play. Breaking pitch, swung on it, missed, strike three.
• 27:36
  Kingman down on strikes for out number two. Jenkins gets his first strike out. We pause for station identification.
• 27:42
  This is the Golden West Radio Network.
• 27:44
  If you want to hear the sounds of the city, listen to the Terry McGovern show, 4 to 8, right here on KSFO in San Francisco.
• 27:52
  It's the sound of the city.
• 27:59
  Willey McCovey with a bloop single to left center in the first inning to drive in a run to Giants batter.
• 28:06
  McCovey checks takes low ball one. Mays at third, Pouenis at first, two outs, two runs in.
• 28:11
  We're in the top of the second on the Giants lead five to nothing.
• 28:14
  The opener of the Cactus League season from Scotchdale, Arizona. Sun baked Scotchdale, Arizona.
• 28:24
  I heard that from you last year.
• 28:28
  Jenkins delivers outside.
• 28:31
  Ball pops out of Rudolph's club, but rolls only a couple of feet away.
• 28:34
  Jenkins falls behind on McCovey, two balls and no strikes.
• 28:45
  The 2-0 pitch to McCovey, swung on and missed, and McCovey had himself a rip.
• 28:50
  Jenkins appeared to take a bit off the pitch.
• 28:54
  McCovey had quite a swing.
• 28:58
  A one and two count. Jenkins works quickly.
• 29:00
  Breaking ball, line to right field. Cardinal is there, makes the catch up over his head.
• 29:05
  McCovey hit it on the nose, but right at Cardinal for the outs.
• 29:08
  The Giants in the second, two runs on two hits.
• 29:12
  There were no errors. Two runners left on.
• 29:15
  So at the end of an inning and a half, the Giants lead it by a score of five to nothing.
• 29:20
  They estimate that Northern California will buy almost a half a million new cars this year.
• 29:25
  And lots of those buyers will save considerable money at Allstate.
• 29:28
  That's right, the Allstate auto finance plan through a cooperating lender.
• 29:33
  You didn't know they had a finance plan, finance car?
• 29:36
  Well, they do.
• 29:38
  Or rather, your Allstate agent can help arrange a loan at a money-saving interest rate through the Allstate auto finance plan.
• 29:43
  Here's what you do.
• 29:45
  When you find a deal on the new car you want, talk to an Allstate agent.
• 29:49
  They can usually help you save important money on the financing.
• 29:52
  Some folks arrange for their loan in advance.
• 29:54
  Others pick out their car first, then talk to Allstate.
• 29:57
  It works either way.
• 29:59
  Now's the time to save some money, and now's the time to look into the Allstate auto finance plan.
• 30:03
  When it comes to insurance or financing your car, you're in good hands with Allstate.
• 30:22
  For the Cubs, the first batter for the Cubs, the third baseman, right hand batting Ron Sano.
• 30:27
  Sano hitting fifth in the order.
• 30:29
  Followed by the right fielder Jose Cardinal and shortstop Don Kessinger.
• 30:38
  Sano, really trimmed down for this early in the spring training.
• 30:47
  Don through it, his kicks and throws.
• 30:49
  Slider for a strike in the outside corner.
• 30:58
  Sano, last year about at 267, takes just outside a 1-1 count.
• 31:04
  Played in 154 games, had 148 hits, 21 home runs, 88 RBIs, swing and a miss on a breaking pitch.
• 31:12
  Carruthers in front, a ball and two strikes.
• 31:17
  Mundy opened the bottom of the first with a double to left off Carruthers,
• 31:20
  then Don retired to next for a men's Becker and Williams on fly ball to left field,
• 31:24
  and Pepitone on a ground ball, a second.
• 31:26
  Now back to Carruthers, his spirit turns throws to first out number one.
• 31:30
  Sano hit a hard one hopper.
• 31:32
  Carruthers check out the glove, picked it up, turned it into an easy out.
• 31:38
  The one is away and right hand batting Jose Cardinal will move in.
• 31:43
  If you've got an apartment, you've got a lot to lose,
• 31:45
  so it's smart to get some all-state renter's insurance
• 31:48
  and protect your household furnishings against loss from fire, explosions, and many other hazards.
• 31:55
  Cardinal right in a batter, takes low and away, ball one.
• 32:07
  Cardinal acquired from Milwaukee in the offseason.
• 32:10
  Browns went up the middle, it'll go through in the center field for a base hit.
• 32:14
  Mays charges in, bare hands it, throws quickly back to the infield.
• 32:17
  Cardinal takes a big turn at first and then holds on.
• 32:21
  Now with a second down off Carruthers, shortstop down, Kessinger will move in.
• 32:29
  Kessinger batted 258 with the Cubs last season, a switch batter.
• 32:37
  Kessinger successfully made the transition to a switch batter in the big leagues,
• 32:42
  something that Chris Byers is now trying to do for the Giants.
• 32:45
  Carruthers steps, throws to first base, drives Cardinal back to the bag, no tag by McCovey.
• 32:51
  Cardinal at first, one out.
• 32:53
  Bottom of the second, the Giants lead the Cubs, five to nothing.
• 32:59
  Carruthers again throws to first and again Cardinal is back.
• 33:07
  Giants play Kessinger as a bit of a lace winner.
• 33:11
  He did not exaggerate against them as they did when he first started to switch it.
• 33:16
  Carruthers fires, balls striking the outside corner.
• 33:24
  Infield straight away, double play deep.
• 33:30
  Carruthers takes a look at first, Cardinal with a good lead.
• 33:34
  Don delivers just outside.
• 33:39
  A one-one count on the Cubs shortstop Don Kessinger.
• 33:47
  Kessinger had been the Cubs leadoff man, but the job is now being given to Rick Mundy.
• 33:53
  Cannot throw to first base, Cardinal back, beating the tag by McCovey.
• 34:02
  Carruthers checking signs with Fran Healy.
• 34:07
  The one-one pitch on its way, high, ball two.
• 34:16
  Ferguson Jenkins has been scheduled to pitch three innings, apparently will not as he now has the warm-up jacket on his running in the outfield.
• 34:22
  So I'm glad he pitches in those first two innings.
• 34:26
  The two-one pitch to Kessinger, bounded foul to the right, and Carruthers and Kessinger go even at two and two.
• 34:42
  Carruthers with a new baseball.
• 34:52
  Cardinal moving away from first as Carruthers looks there, comes to the plate to two, high, ball three.
• 35:00
  Carruthers, got a full count, three balls, two strikes.
• 35:14
  Carruthers off the mound.
• 35:16
  Tito for one-e's yelling something into him. Carruthers nodding, okay, whatever was it Tito had to say.
• 35:27
  Cardinal with his lead.
• 35:29
  Carruthers steps off.
• 35:35
  Now Don Reddy, Cardinal away from first.
• 35:38
  He is running, pitches it high and near the left center field.
• 35:40
  Mays drifting back, has room, makes the catch, throws back into the infield.
• 35:45
  Cardinal was all the way down to second base, has to retreat to first.
• 35:49
  Counter number 15, Ken Rudolph catches.
• 35:53
  Counter Ken Rudolph.
• 35:56
  Rudolph was with the Cubs, San Antonio.
• 36:04
  Last year with the Cubs farm club at Tacoma, but spent, he's getting 25 games with the big club, hitting 197, about a 285, and triple-A ball.
• 36:12
  Right end of batter. Don Carruthers, pitches lice foul outside first base, strike one.
• 36:21
  Cardinal at first, two outs. Bottom of the second, Giants in front five to nothing.
• 36:36
  Carruthers sets, the 0-1 pitch, a bit too low, 1-1 count.
• 36:53
  Cardinal getting a lead.
• 36:56
  Mr. Rudolph a let-up, misses low, ball two.
• 37:03
  Two-and-one count.
• 37:07
  Ken Rudolph, the Cubs right end of batting catcher.
• 37:12
  Cardinal moves away from first.
• 37:16
  2-1 pitch, lined in the center field for a base hit.
• 37:20
  Cardinal will go to third as Mays over in the right center, cuts the ball off, throws in towards the plate.
• 37:24
  Now Rudolph moves up to second base.
• 37:27
  Ball off McCovey's glove, but Healy backing up fields it.
• 37:33
  Mays, feeling the ball in right center, cut loose with a throw towards the plate.
• 37:37
  It was a high throw over the head of the infielders.
• 37:40
  And Rudolph, able to move up to second as Cardinal goes around to third.
• 37:48
  Left-hander batting Pat Burke will be a pinch better for Jenkins.
• 38:00
  Burke, stockley-built.
• 38:08
  The San Antonio, most of last year, about a 279.
• 38:14
  Pat takes high for ball one. Burke, 6 feet, 210 pounds.
• 38:22
  23, 24 years old.
• 38:27
  An infielder by Treg.
• 38:29
  The Reathers from a line-up misses high, ball two.
• 38:33
  The Reathers behind on the pinch batter, Pat Burke, two balls and no strikes.
• 38:37
  Jose Cardinal at third.
• 38:39
  Ken Rudolph at second.
• 38:41
  Two outs.
• 38:42
  Giants in front, five to nothing in the bottom of the second.
• 38:49
  Cardinal down the line.
• 38:50
  The Reathers misses very high, ball three.
• 38:54
  Healy, asked for time, runs out to the mound to talk with.
• 38:58
  Giants young white, ender.
• 39:10
  Healy now, moves back behind to play.
• 39:19
  The on-deck circle for the Cubs, their leadoff man and center fielder, Rick Mundy.
• 39:23
  Three outpitch, ball strike in the inside corner.
• 39:37
  The Reathers, 3-1 pitch.
• 39:42
  Just outside, ball four.
• 39:45
  So Burke draws for one, first off the Reathers.
• 39:50
  At most, up the base is Cardinal as at third, Rudolph at second.
• 39:58
  And Rick Mundy, who doubled the left field in the first inning, will be the Chicago batter.
• 40:09
  Mundy, with great speed, has always had good power to the opposite field and in the left center.
• 40:18
  Finch runner for Burke, Jose Ortiz takes over at first base as a runner for Pat Burke.
• 40:34
  Mundy, left hander, hitter.
• 40:36
  Time, crew, there's some windup.
• 40:39
  Fastball as a strike.
• 40:41
  Cardinal at third, Rudolph at second, Ortiz at first.
• 40:45
  Time, pleading five to nothing in the bottom of inning number two.
• 40:55
  Reathers, kick, throws, 0-1.
• 40:58
  Fastball, call, strike two.
• 41:04
  The grandstand umpire is not in complete agreement with that call.
• 41:13
  Reathers, in front of Mundy, 0-2.
• 41:22
  Three runners lead away, the 0-2 pitch.
• 41:25
  High and outside, Healy had to reach up the stab, that pitch, keep it from going to the screen,
• 41:30
  and there's a sale.
• 41:36
  One-and-two count.
• 41:40
  Left hander batting Mundy, waiting at the plate.
• 41:46
  The one-two pitch on its way.
• 41:48
  Popped up behind second base, fire drifting back, Mays coming in.
• 41:52
  It's Mays who calls, he's got it.
• 41:56
  The side retired on a pop fly, the Willie Mays in very short center field.
• 42:01
  Now if the Reathers gets out of the inning, the Cubs no runs on two hits, no jointers,
• 42:06
  three runners left at the end of two full, the Giants five, the Cubs nothing.
• 42:13
  Well we've mentioned how fast the spring training get around this year.
• 42:17
  It's not going to be too long until opening day at Candlestick Park either.
• 42:21
  Opening day tickets for Thursday, it's a Thursday opener this year, April 6th against San Diego.

• 42:37
  Giants ticket office, Candlestick Park, San Francisco, 94124.
• 42:41
  Now if you can't make it to opening day on a Thursday, maybe Sunday is the first chance you'll get to see
• 42:47
  brand new Candlestick Park, and believe me it looks beautiful.
• 42:50
  They've done a magnificent job in closing Candlestick.
• 42:54
  If you didn't see it during the football season, the 49ers playing there,
• 42:58
  you'll be very much surprised.
• 42:59
  In fact they've done a lot more work since the football season ended, and Candlestick Park looks great.
• 43:05
  That's Sunday against the San Diego Pottery, the first double header of the year.
• 43:09
  First chance to see the Giants in the double header.

  Opening day, Thursday, April 6th, the first double header is Sunday, April 9th.
• 43:29
  The new pitcher for the Chicago Cubs is Milt Pappas, and I'll tell you about it here as well.
• 43:33
  Pappas, better than right hander, with the Cubs last year, won 17 and lost 14.
• 43:43
  His highest win total in his big league career, which started back in 1958, or 57 actually, with Baltimore.
• 43:50
  Bobby Bonds, grounds one, sharply to third base, bobble by Sano, picks it up, throws, and gets in.
• 43:56
  Joel Malpatano, the Giants first base coach, does not think so.
• 44:00
  A double play in the first inning, thrown out by Ron Sano.
• 44:05
  Malpatano was sharply hit, skipped off Sano's guard, he chased it down, turned mid, a good throw to first base.
• 44:12
  Just nipped Bonds.
• 44:14
  Bobby, tried for out number one, as Pappas gets the first man he faces, and Kenny Henderson.
• 44:19
  He's grounded sharply to Peppit on his first base in inning number one, a little bit of Giants batter.
• 44:24
  Foul tips the first pitch off Rudolph, does strike one.
• 44:29
  Pappas, last year, was an ERA of 3.52.
• 44:34
  Been in 461 major league ballgames, 185 wins, 145 losses.
• 44:40
  Lettup, it's popped up, short left field, drifting back, Kessinger's a shortstop, waving Williams off.
• 44:46
  Kessinger makes the catch for out number two.
• 44:51
  Ferguson Jenkins pitched two innings for the Cubs, gave up five runs, three of them earned.
• 44:56
  On four hits, he struck out one and he walked three.
• 45:01
  Fran Healy, who walked his quarter run in inning number two, a Giants batter against Noel Pappas.
• 45:13
  Pappas delivers slider outside ball one.
• 45:21
  John Diaclisto throwing in a Giants bullpen in right field.
• 45:26
  Bounding ball, one hop to Sano at third.
• 45:28
  Sano goes across to Peppiton and the side is retired.
• 45:31
  Pappas comes in to fix the first one, two, three inning of the ballgame.
• 45:35
  Giants go very quietly.
• 45:37
  No runs, no hits, no coming in, there's no runners left.
• 45:39
  At the end of two and a half, the Giants five and the Cubs nothing.
• 45:44
  Giants make one lineup change as Ed Goodson goes in at first base, replacing Willie McGooby.
• 45:53
  The rest of the lineup remains the same.
• 45:55
  Kingman at third, Spirits short, Bollini's at second.
• 45:58
  Outfield from left to right, Henderson, Mays and Fonz.
• 46:01
  Healy to Kessinger and Don Carruthers, the pitcher.
• 46:07
  For the Cubs, the two, three, and four spots in the batting order.
• 46:09
  Second baseman, Glenn Beckert.
• 46:10
  Left fielder, Billy Williams, and first baseman, Joe Peppiton.
• 46:15
  Slider is a strike.
• 46:17
  Beckert, fly to Henderson and short left center in inning number one.
• 46:21
  Right end of batter.
• 46:23
  Chokes up on the bat.
• 46:25
  Ground ball, right side.
• 46:26
  Carruthers falls down, but when he's coming, he fields the ball, throws to first base for the out.
• 46:31
  Carruthers starting to move out the mound in case he should be called in to cover first base.
• 46:35
  Tripped and fell.
• 46:37
  Giants gather around him.
• 46:42
  Charlie Fox runs out to the mound.
• 46:48
  Now trainer Leo Hughes comes out.
• 46:50
  Carruthers is walking around.
• 46:51
  It proves to be all right.
• 46:53
  It's sure as manager Fox as he is, Charlie gets back to the deck out.
• 46:56
  Cuts off Leo Hughes at the pass.
• 47:01
  Now coming to bat, number 26, Billy Williams.
• 47:04
  Billy Williams who fly to Henderson and left in inning number one, Vieticub batter.
• 47:11
  Left handed batter against right handed down to Carruthers.
• 47:16
  Fastball is high and away, ball one.
• 47:25
  The one-o pitch to Williams.
• 47:27
  Popped up foul, it will be out of play.
• 47:29
  Healy starts back, but this one goes back into just over the seats, not to the left of the plate.
• 47:39
  Carruthers on an account of one and one.
• 47:51
  The one-one pitch is low ball two.
• 47:56
  Carruthers, the youngster John DiAcquisto and John Cumberland, the Giants scheduled pitchers today.
• 48:03

  Williams had a notion, but laid off in time.

  The account goes full of three and two.
• 48:35
  One out, bases empty.
• 48:36
  Bottom of the third, Giants lead five to nothing.
• 48:39
  Three-two pitch, low ball four.

  Carruthers gives up his second walk.
• 48:50
  Cubs have a runner at first with one out and first baseman Joe Pepitone will move in.
• 48:54
  Pepitone, the left-handed batter.
• 49:07
  Williams away from first.
• 49:08
  Carruthers looks, there comes to the plate.
• 49:10
  Misses just inside ball one.
• 49:18
  Giant outfield deep and around to the right.
• 49:20
  Infield double-played it.
• 49:22
  Carruthers sets some fires.
• 49:23
  Drive to deep right center field.
• 49:25
  Bonds a long ways to go.
• 49:26
  This one is off the wall.

  Gets by Mays and Bonds bounding back towards the infield.
• 49:30
  Williams comes on to score from first bases.
• 49:33

  Hits high up on the wall at about the point at foot mark.
• 49:45

  It bounce fast and back towards the infield.
• 49:49
  Pepitone could go into second base, but Williams was able to score.
• 49:52
  Cubs get on the scoreboard.
• 49:55
  It's now 5-1, Giant League.
• 49:58
  Pepitone with the first RBI.
• 50:05
  Here's Ron Sato, who has thrown out the Carruthers, ending number two.
• 50:08
  Takes a clear first strike.
• 50:12
  Sato doesn't like the call.
• 50:15
  Again, the fans agreeing with the Cubs captain.
• 50:21
  Pepitone, a lead at second.
• 50:25
  Here's Jackson, comes to the plate.
• 50:26
  A swing and a miss on an off-speed curve ball.
• 50:30
  First time the Carruthers had thrown that pitch today.
• 50:33
  Took something off the curve and had Sato way up in front.
• 50:36
  Carruthers in front, 0-2.
• 50:46
  Pepitone, a short lead.
• 50:48
  Carruthers looking at him.
• 50:49
  Now comes to the plate.
• 50:51
  Misses, just a bit too low.
• 50:56
  A ball and two strikes on Ron Sato.
• 51:04
  On deck for the Cubs, right through to Jose Cardinal.
• 51:09
  Swing and a miss by Sato on a good breaking pitch by Carruthers.
• 51:13
  Sato down on strikes.
• 51:17
  The Carruthers get their first strike out.
• 51:20
  Now Jose Cardinal is single to center in ending number two with a bit of Cubs batter.
• 51:26
  Cardinal, in the big leagues with, briefly with the Giants, California, Cleveland, St. Louis, Milwaukee.
• 51:37
  Now, remember the Cubs.
• 51:41
  Two-sixty lifetime major league average.
• 51:46
  Cardinal, feet close together.
• 51:50
  Carruthers misses, low ball one.
• 52:01
  Pepitone at second, two outs, a run in.
• 52:04
  Giants lead five to one in the bottom of the third.
• 52:07
  A lead up, misses.
• 52:09
  And Carruthers drops behind on Cardinal, two balls and no strikes.
• 52:25
  Carruthers checks Pepitone, who leads from second.
• 52:28
  A slider is a strike in the outside corner.
• 52:32
  Two-and-one count.
• 52:42
  Again Carruthers sets up the bulk, two-one pitch on its way.
• 52:45
  Cardinal checks and takes low, ball three.
• 52:49
  Carruthers dropping behind Cardinal, three balls, one strike.
• 53:03
  Don, ready, three-one pitch.
• 53:06
  Hit high in the air to right center field.
• 53:08
  Mayes doesn't go back and on the run, no deep right center, still going, reaches out, makes the catch.
• 53:13
  In the right center field corner, 415 feet away from home play.
• 53:17
  Willie Mayes on the run to all in end.
• 53:21
  Where the Cubs in the third, one run on one hit.
• 53:25
  There are no Giants here, there was a runner left.
• 53:27
  At the end of three-four, the Giants five and the Cubs one.
• 53:34
  Before going to inning number four in Ron Simmons, we'll pause for station identification.
• 53:38
  This is the Golden West Radio Network.
• 53:41
  When you want to hear the sounds of the city, listen to Carter Blakemore Smith,
• 53:45
  one to four right here on KSFO in San Francisco.
• 53:49
  It's the sound of the city.
• 53:56
  Chris Pyer swings at the first pitch and hits a two-hopper to second baseman,
• 53:59
  Glenn Beckard, who throws him out at first base and pats his first pitch.
• 54:02
  The first out of the fourth inning.
• 54:04
  Pyer, retired.
• 54:06
  And Jim Rayhart will be batting for Carruthers.
• 54:10
  Don Carruthers, who pitched an impressive three innings.
• 54:13
  Carruthers in at three innings, giving up four hits.
• 54:18
  One run, walked one, struck out, walked two and struck out one.
• 54:24
  Hart batting right-handed last year, plagued by arm problems after an arm operation.
• 54:30
  Takes low for a ball, one and oh.
• 54:32
  Jimmy could certainly help out if he could bounce back.
• 54:39
  One-oh pitch, swung on and missed.
• 54:41
  One and one.
• 54:43
  Pappas came in on the third inning.
• 54:45
  Jenkins giving up all five of the giant runs.
• 54:48
  Jenkins, wild, which is unusual for him.
• 54:51
  He had 11 complete games in which he didn't walk a man last year.
• 54:54
  Pitch is low for a ball.
• 54:56
  Two and one.
• 54:57
  And had the best record, control record in the league,
• 55:02
  walking an average of just slightly over one man per game.
• 55:08
  Four for a ball to Hart, and it's three and one.
• 55:11
  Jenkins obviously having his control difficulties because of the early spring training.
• 55:19
  Three, one, pitch, low, ball four, and Hart draws the base on balls.
• 55:22
  The first baserunner off Pappas, said Jimmy, goes to first base, is Willie Mays, will be the batter.
• 55:27
  Mays has been on twice.
• 55:30
  He's safe on an air and scored a run in the first inning when Billy Williams dropped his fly ball at the base of the fence in left field,
• 55:35
  and then he doubled in the left center field to drive in two runs.
• 55:39
  Both those appearances against Jenkins, and now he faces Pappas here with Hart, a runner at first base.
• 55:45
  One man down.
• 55:47
  Mays swings and fouls it away.
• 55:49
  Strike one.
• 55:50
  Willie reaching for a breaking pitch that time.
• 55:59
  Strike one, Kev.
• 56:01
  Jenkins went two innings, gave up five runs on four hits.
• 56:06
  He struck out one, he walked three.
• 56:09
  Mays has the outfield swung around to the left as he swings and misses a high pass ball.
• 56:14
  Strike two.
• 56:18
  Nothing in two that counts to Mays.
• 56:19
  Pappas is out in front of him.
• 56:24
  Hart gets a short lead at first.
• 56:26
  Pappas delivers to Mays.
• 56:27
  He takes low, dug out by Rudolph as the ball hits the ground.
• 56:31
  He was able to block it, prevent it from going to the screen, and keeping Jimmy Hart at first base.
• 56:36
  Giants leading five to one.
• 56:39
  Don Carruthers going the first three innings for the Giants.
• 56:42
  We'll have a new pitcher for San Francisco.
• 56:44
  It'll be John DiAcquisto.
• 56:48
  Pappas pitch.
• 56:49
  Mays fouls it back.
• 56:54
  It stays at one ball, two strikes.
• 56:57
  DiAcquisto, a young fellow who can throw hard.
• 57:02
  Last year, struck out 244 men in 233 innings.
• 57:09
  Pitching for Decatur, he broke by the Blues, strikeout record there.
• 57:14
  Pitch to Mays, outside.
• 57:16
  Rudolph had to spear that one to prevent it from being a wild pitch, and it's two and two.
• 57:22
  152 members of the Giants boosters here today.
• 57:26
  A record number of boosters coming to spring training.
• 57:31
  Pappas steps off the rubber and bluffs Hart back into first base.
• 57:34
  Two-two count to Mays, one out, one on.
• 57:36
  Giants lead five to one.
• 57:38
  Pitch to Willie, swung on, fly ball to center field.
• 57:42
  Waiting for it is Rick Mundy, has it, and Mays is retired for the second out as Hart retreats to first base.
• 57:50
  There's nothing like the excitement of Major League Baseball, and there's no other car quite like the 72 Monte Carlo by Chevrolet.
• 57:57
  The agility of a sport car, the ride and comfort of a luxury car.
• 58:00
  Chevrolet wants your new Monte Carlo to be the best car you ever owned.
• 58:05
  Tito Fuentes has doubled in his singles.
• 58:07
  He's driven in a run, and he scored one up here batting left-handed against Pappas, facing Pappas for the first time, first time today.
• 58:17
  Hart remains at first, Fuentes follows it off, strike one.
• 58:24
  Don't forget, opening day, Thursday at Candlestick Park this year.
• 58:27
  That is Thursday, April 6th, San Diego, and then that's Sunday on the 9th of April, a doubleheader against the Padres.
• 58:41
  Tickets available for all the Giants home games.
• 58:46
  Pappas pitched to 20. Line drive to Beckert off his glove into right field.
• 58:50
  Hart will go to second base and hold as Cardinal comes up.
• 58:53
  That was a line shot, and Beckert reached up.
• 58:56
  That ball just skipped off the tip of his glove out into right field.
• 59:03
  And Dave Kingman will be the batter to see if they give that credit bet as a base hit for 20.
• 59:15
  His stinging line drive off the mitt of Beckert.
• 59:18
  That is the first hit issued by Pappas.
• 59:21
  And Kingman waits. Swings and misses, strike one.
• 59:24
  Dave has walked and he's struck out. He's scored a run.
• 59:28
  Kingman trying to learn defense at third base.
• 59:33
  And Mr. Charlie Fox trying to put Kingman in the lineup as an infielder, bounding ball to the left, then it's strike two.
• 59:41
  The Giants have a difficulty right now. It's infield depth.
• 59:45
  They have a lot of people who can play third base, but they have very few who can play short stuff.
• 59:59
  One-eighth at first. Hart is at second with two down and Kingman waiting with an O2 count.
• 1:00:05
  The O2 pitch, low and away for a ball and it's one and two. Ed Goodson on deck.
• 1:00:12
  Ed taking over for McCovey at first base.
• 1:00:16
  Pappas in front of Kingman, a ball and two strikes. The outfield deep and around to the left.
• 1:00:21
  Pappas delivers. Kingman takes low in the dirt for a ball too.
• 1:00:24
  Rudolph is doing a good job of boxing those low pitches, giving them from going to the screen.
• 1:00:31
  Two and two count. Kingman has the infield and outfield backed up against him.
• 1:00:39
  Straightaway stance for the big guy, six feet, six inches tall.
• 1:00:43
  Low and inside, slip pitch and it's a three and two count now on Kingman.
• 1:00:49
  The runners will be going with two men down.
• 1:00:53
  Kingman slams a dramatic home run in the final game of the regular season last year.
• 1:00:59
  Three, two pitches, low, a ball, four blocked by Rudolph. Kingman goes to first.
• 1:01:03
  Hart moves over to third, 20s to second and Ed Goodson will come up to be the batter.
• 1:01:07
  Kingman's home run in San Diego.
• 1:01:12
  On the final day of the season, the Giants clinch the pennants.
• 1:01:18
  Day in a second game with a grand slam home run last year.
• 1:01:23
  Ed Goodson, left hand batter, here's the fellow that knows how to play bat.
• 1:01:29
  He has good bat control, takes a strike at the knees on one.
• 1:01:34
  He is also a fine defensive player at first base.
• 1:01:37
  Giants worked with Goodson last year as a third baseman at Phoenix.
• 1:01:43
  All the way out of play and Goodson has a two strike count.
• 1:01:49
  It was in 20 games of the Giants last year, 42 batting appearances, that eight hits.
• 1:01:55
  With Phoenix he batted 294.
• 1:02:00
  Bases loaded with two down. Kingman at first, 20s at second, Hart at third.
• 1:02:05
  The Giants lead five to one. We're in the fourth inning.
• 1:02:09
  Pitch to Goodson. A strike call. He is out on strike.
• 1:02:13
  There's Pappas give a good pitch over the outside corner.
• 1:02:16
  Two runs, one hit, no errors, three runners left on.
• 1:02:19
  We go to the bottom of the fourth, the score, the Giants five and the Cubs one.
• 1:02:27
  Couple of changes for the Giants.
• 1:02:30
  The equistos comes in to do the pitching and Jimmy Rosario goes in to play center field.
• 1:02:40
  Perrithers went three innings, gave up one run, four hits, struck out one and walked two.
• 1:02:49
  A little bit on the equisto.
• 1:02:53
  John Francis D. Equisto, that's D apostrophe A-C-Q-U-I-S-T-O.
• 1:03:02
  San Diego, 6'2", 205 pounds. He is 20 years old.
• 1:03:12
  This is his third season.
• 1:03:15
  It was the Giants' first selection, June 1970 free agent draft.
• 1:03:20
  Last year he struck out 244 men in 233 innings.
• 1:03:24
  That generally means a pitcher throws hard and he does.
• 1:03:27
  Kessinger, the batter, tries to punt the ball and fouls it off strike one.
• 1:03:30
  D'Equisto, a right-hander, wears glasses.
• 1:03:34
  He has appeared to have a little control problem in early spring training,
• 1:03:40
  but that would be natural.
• 1:03:41
  He walked 124 men in the 233 innings he pitched last year at Decatur.
• 1:03:46
  110 and lost 13.
• 1:03:49
  Kessinger batting left-handed against the right-hander, John D. Equisto.
• 1:03:57
  The left-hander plays up even with a bag at third.
• 1:04:00
  The outfield rather shallow and around the left to strike one pitch.
• 1:04:02
  Oh, look out, John. That was a fastball in at his feet and he was hit by that pitch.
• 1:04:06
  Couldn't get out of the way.
• 1:04:09
  Kessinger, hit by D'Equisto with that pitch.
• 1:04:12
  He tried to jump out of the way.
• 1:04:15
  He was anxious to get out of there.
• 1:04:17
  He didn't want to get out. He's going to be hit by that pitch.
• 1:04:20
  Hit him in the foot. He's all right and he goes to first base.
• 1:04:23
  Now, Ken Rudolph will be the batter.
• 1:04:25
  He's going to be the parither's his first time up, right-hand batting catcher.
• 1:04:28
  Runner at first.
• 1:04:31
  Nobody down.
• 1:04:32
  The Giants lead five to one and we are in the bottom of the fourth inning.
• 1:04:35
  The Giants picked up three runs in the first, two in the second.
• 1:04:38
  Cubs got a run in the third.
• 1:04:41
  D'Equisto working from a stretch as Kessinger leads from first.
• 1:04:44
  And the lob throw to first base.
• 1:04:49
  Now, you can understand that this is quite a big moment for this young fellow.
• 1:04:53
  He's bound to be a little nervous. Pitch is up high for a ball.
• 1:04:55
  It's only spring training to everybody else.
• 1:04:57
  Time to enjoy themselves.
• 1:04:58
  But for D'Equisto, he's pitching in a major league uniform.
• 1:05:03
  He's wanting to show the boss what he can do.
• 1:05:10
  Ground ball to right side.
• 1:05:11
  Base hit on the hit and run as Kessinger goes to third.
• 1:05:13
  Rudolph hitting behind the runner beautifully.
• 1:05:16
  Drilled that one through the hole into right field and the runners at first and third.
• 1:05:21
  Rudolph really went with that pitch.
• 1:05:23
  They sent Kessinger.
• 1:05:26
  And now they're runners at first and third and Milt Pappas will be the batter.
• 1:05:30
  And Pappas is a good hitter for a pitcher.
• 1:05:37
  He will face D'Equisto with runners at first and third and nobody down.
• 1:05:40
  The Giants play a double play position.
• 1:05:43
  Willing to give up the run if they can get a ground ball and make two outs on it.
• 1:05:48
  A hit batsman and a hit and run single and the Cubs are in business with runners at first and third.
• 1:05:54
  D'Equisto working from the stretch.
• 1:05:57
  The runners lead away from first and third.
• 1:05:58
  The pitch, Pappas turns the puck, pushes it back toward the mound.
• 1:06:01
  D'Equisto has it, will go to first.
• 1:06:02
  Does in time, the runner Kessinger holds at third and Rudolph moves up to second base.
• 1:06:07
  So Pappas with the sacrifice, moving the runner to second,
• 1:06:11
  is thrown out by D'Equisto for number one and Rick Mundy will be the batter.
• 1:06:19
  Whatever you need for your home, there's a good chance you can find it at Long's Drug Stores and at a lower price.
• 1:06:25
  Long's has 59 stores throughout California and Hawaii.
• 1:06:30
  Second and third occupied now on that sacrifice, but Rick Mundy, the batter.
• 1:06:34
  Mundy has doubled to left field and flied to center.
• 1:06:37
  Popped up with the bases loaded to end the second inning. Left hand batter.
• 1:06:41
  D'Equisto working from the windup.
• 1:06:43
  The pitch is a strike, a fastball good on the outside, Oremond.
• 1:06:48
  Kessinger is a runner at third, Rudolph at second.
• 1:06:51
  Outfield shades Mundy slightly to the left.
• 1:06:56
  Rick, a star at Arizona State, very close to Scottsdale here.
• 1:07:01
  Pitch low, blocked by Healy and it's one and one.
• 1:07:05
  It's difficult on a catcher when a pitcher throws as hard as D'Equisto does if he gets the ball in the dirt.
• 1:07:11
  It's a little tough for that catcher to block the ball, but Healy got down on that one in a hurry and kept it from going to the screen.
• 1:07:17
  Rudolph away from second. Kessinger moves away from third.
• 1:07:21
  Mundy waits for the one-one pitch.
• 1:07:23
  A pop-up to the left side in short left field into center field.
• 1:07:27
  Now it's fire goes out. Rosario comes in. Rosario makes the catch.
• 1:07:30
  Kessinger bluffs and Rosario fires the ball by Healy, but it's backed up by D'Equisto, who was in the right place where he should be.
• 1:07:37
  And he picked up the ball and Kessinger had to hold at third base.
• 1:07:41
  So Rosario's throw went through Goodson, then Healy, but D'Equisto backing it up, got the ball.
• 1:07:47
  And Kessinger had to remain at third.
• 1:07:51
  So Mundy pops up to Rosario in center field for the second out.
• 1:07:56
  And Glenn Beckert will be the batter. Beckert has flied out and has grounded out.
• 1:08:02
  Second and third occupied with two men down.
• 1:08:05
  Giants lead five to one. We're in the bottom of the fourth inning.
• 1:08:10
  Rookie John D'Equisto during the pitching for the Giants from the windup.
• 1:08:14
  His pitch to Beckert, high for a ball, one and oh.
• 1:08:18
  He gets it up there in a hurry. The Giants have a couple of young hitters who can throw a heart.
• 1:08:26
  D'Equisto is one of them, whether he will be ready this year to join the Major Leagues.
• 1:08:32
  And now D'Equisto steps off the rubber. Are they going to call a ball?
• 1:08:36
  He stepped up on the rubber, but I don't know if they're calling a ball.
• 1:08:40
  He stepped up on the rubber. He said he did not go into his windup.
• 1:08:44
  Then he stepped off the rubber, but the first base umpire.
• 1:08:51
  Paul Runge says that he had started into his windup.
• 1:08:55
  D'Equisto is claiming that he just stepped up on the rubber to get the sign,
• 1:08:59
  and he is allowed to step off the rubber if he hasn't gone into the motion.
• 1:09:05
  The umpire claims that he had gone into the motion.
• 1:09:08
  So coming into scores, Kessinger on the block and Rudolph moves over to third.
• 1:09:12
  Kessinger made a long bluff down the third baseline,
• 1:09:16
  and D'Equisto moved, stepped back off the rubber,
• 1:09:20
  but he had already made a motion going into his windup.
• 1:09:25
  So it is ruled a ball. The run comes into score.
• 1:09:30
  It's now five to two game.
• 1:09:33
  The Giants in front, and Rudolph has moved over to third.
• 1:09:37
  Bechard waits with a count of one and oh.
• 1:09:41
  Two down, a run in.
• 1:09:44
  D'Equisto working from the windup again, looks over at third, and Rudolph now delivers to the plate.
• 1:09:50
  A strike, slider good, it's one and one.
• 1:09:57
  Ball on the strike to count, and Bechard turns to talk to the home plate umpire,
• 1:10:03
  Art Williams, about that call.
• 1:10:06
  D'Equisto ready with the one-one pitch.
• 1:10:09
  A rounded foul to the left, and it's a ball and two strikes.
• 1:10:21
  A ball and two strikes.
• 1:10:24
  They count to Glenn Bechard.
• 1:10:31
  Here's the one-two pitch, low for a ball two, two and two.
• 1:10:44
  Two and two count to Glenn Bechard, batting with a run in and two minutes.
• 1:10:51
  D'Equisto's pitch, swung on and missed.
• 1:10:53
  He foul-tipped it into Healy's mitt.
• 1:10:55
  Bechard is out on strike.
• 1:10:57
  One run, one hit, no errors.
• 1:11:00
  The score is what they left on.
• 1:11:01
  At the end of four, the score, the Giants five and the Cubs two.
• 1:11:06
  Inning number five, the Giants leading five to two, and Bobby Barnes will lead off.
• 1:11:12
  Barnes has not had the ball on the infield.
• 1:11:14
  He hit into a double play in the first inning and then grounded to third in the third.
• 1:11:19
  Bill Rigan gets up to start loosening up in the Cubs bullpen.
• 1:11:23
  They probably have to use an extra pitcher today because Jenkins went only two innings.
• 1:11:30
  Bobby Barnes, right-hand batter, no pappas, right-hand pitcher.
• 1:11:33
  The outfield deep for Barnes.
• 1:11:34
  The pitch to Bobby, look out, it's inside for a ball, one and oh.
• 1:11:38
  Kenny Henderson and then Fran Healy to follow.
• 1:11:42
  Don Carrilers went three innings.
• 1:11:45
  Don will be our postgame guest as soon as we clean up his language.
• 1:11:50
  Pitch to Bobby is swung on and missed, strike one.
• 1:11:58
  Count of a ball and a strike.
• 1:12:02
  Barnes, Henderson and Healy against pappas in the fifth inning.
• 1:12:06
  A change-up is good for a strike and it's one and two.
• 1:12:11
  Edith Daniels says, say hello to the girls at headquarters 6A.
• 1:12:17
  I assume that's safe to say.
• 1:12:20
  Pitch is low for a ball and the count is a ball and two strikes, two balls and two strikes to Bob.
• 1:12:26
  Two and two count.
• 1:12:29
  Infield backed up now with two strikes on Bobby who crouches at the plate, waits for the 2-2 pitch
• 1:12:33
  and hits one deep into right-center field.
• 1:12:35
  That one is going to be in between them, bouncing off the fence at the 4-17 mark.
• 1:12:39
  Barnes is turning it on, he's around second.
• 1:12:41
  He glides for third, trips almost, balls, keeps his balance and goes into third with a three-base hit.
• 1:12:46
  Barnes drilling one up the alley in right-center and as he grounded second base,
• 1:12:54
  he was just sort of gliding toward third and looking back over his shoulder, he tripped,
• 1:13:00
  almost fell down, maintained his balance and went into third base.
• 1:13:04
  So he is open with a triple, a second hit off pappas.
• 1:13:08
  And Kenny Henderson who has grounded out and popped up will be the batter.
• 1:13:12
  Bill Thompson and George Cooper listening to pornographic tapes.
• 1:13:27
  Pitch to Henderson, swung on line drive, base hit center field, coming in to score is Bobby Bonds.
• 1:13:32
  Henderson hits the first pitch for a solid single, the Giants have their sixth run
• 1:13:36
  and it's a 6-2 ballgame, the Giants in front.
• 1:13:41
  Fran Healy will be the next hitter, a triple and a single against pappas here to lead off the fifth inning
• 1:13:47
  and the Giants have increased their, did he say naughty words?
• 1:13:53
  Part of our tape will be missing because we have to take out the naughty words.
• 1:13:56
  You're not allowed to listen to those.
• 1:14:01
  Healy has walked and he's grounded out, he's scored a run, takes outside for a ball on all.
• 1:14:08
  Fran came in against the Cubs last year in a bases loaded situation against Phil Rigg and he doubled off the center field.
• 1:14:14
  Pinch drive in, three runs, Giants eventually came from behind in that ballgame to win it.
• 1:14:26
  Henderson getting a pretty good sized lead at first.
• 1:14:28
  Pitch to Healy is hit high in the air in the short left center field, who wants it?
• 1:14:33
  Rick Mundy and Mundy makes the catch in left center for out number one.
• 1:14:38
  Healy pops out to the Cubs center fielder and Chris Spire comes to the plate.
• 1:14:45
  And now let's get ready for a big inning, just pop open a good cold hand, there's always room for another brother.
• 1:14:56
  Spire has walked and grounded a second.
• 1:15:01
  Batting left handed, takes a strike going one.
• 1:15:05
  Our producer engineer Rich Smalley is doing his South Pacific imitation, his plantation hat.
• 1:15:14
  Strike one, count to Spire, throw to first base back in there.
• 1:15:18
  This is Kenny Henderson, one out, a run in.
• 1:15:22
  Spire switch batting, batting left handed, line drive to second base.
• 1:15:25
  Bechert has a flip throw to first in time to get Henderson a double fly.
• 1:15:29
  Good play by Glenn Bechert on that solid line drive off the back of Chris Spire, turned into a double fly.
• 1:15:37
  And here in the fifth inning for the Giants, one run, two hits, no errors, no one left on.
• 1:15:44
  We go to the bottom of the fifth and the Giants lead it by a score of six to two.
• 1:15:50
  Peter Rebson is one of America's fastest rising young race drivers.
• 1:15:54
  So Standard Oil sent a Chevron low lead to France and asked Rebson to run performance tests at the world famous Le Mans racetrack
• 1:16:00
  in a car that can use low lead to see what happens to performance when you use a reduced lead gasoline.
• 1:16:06
  For a performance test of gasoline, Le Mans has to be as tough as they come.
• 1:16:11
  I've done a number of laps now, pushing the car very hard, and Chevron low lead has really been delivered.
• 1:16:18
  It's giving me quick acceleration out of the hairpin turns.
• 1:16:22
  And on the three mile long Mosaune straight where you can really wind an engine up, Chevron's been fabulous.
• 1:16:30
  Chevron low lead regular enriched with premium gasoline components to continue to give quality performance.
• 1:16:36
  And for cars that can run on gasoline without lead, Chevron unleaded, both with F310, available only along the Chevron way.
• 1:16:50
  A couple more changes for the Giants.
• 1:16:52
  Now in the bottom of the fifth inning, Bernie Williams goes in to play left field.
• 1:16:57
  Jimmy Rosario is in center field, and Gary Matthews takes over in right field.
• 1:17:03
  Gary was with Amarillo last year.
• 1:17:09
  He is 6'3, 190 pounder from Southern California, Sam Fernando.
• 1:17:16
  And last year he hit 279 with Amarillo, hit 279 for Fresno in 1970 at 322, and his first year at Decatur in 1969.
• 1:17:26
  He is 21 years old, and everybody figures that he is a cinch to make it.
• 1:17:31
  Great speed, good power.
• 1:17:34
  Billy Williams leads off against John DiAcquisto on swings and misses the first pitch strike once.
• 1:17:39
  Williams, the cut left fielder up here, has flied out and walked and scored a run.
• 1:17:42
  The Giants lead 6-2. We're in the bottom of the fifth inning.
• 1:17:46
  DiAcquisto's next pitch, high for a ball, it's 1-1.
• 1:17:49
  Pete Reiser, the third base coach for the Cubs, the first base coach, is Ernie Banks.
• 1:17:54
  John Cumberland starts loosening up in the bullpen.
• 1:17:59
  No, it's not Cumberland.
• 1:18:02
  He could skip pit lock down there.
• 1:18:05
  Swing by Williams and a high drive into left center field.
• 1:18:08
  It will be playable for Rosario. He has it.
• 1:18:10
  He has it. Pour out number one, so Williams flies to Rosario.
• 1:18:15
  If you're in the left field, small line, please get behind the fence.
• 1:18:20
  Bout of number eight, Joe Pepitone, first base.
• 1:18:23
  Skip pit lock is throwing the Giants bullpen.
• 1:18:26
  Cumberland was scheduled to be the third pitcher today, but maybe pit lock will be the man who will take over.
• 1:18:32
  One man down, Ron, or Joe Pepitone now, the better, to face DiAcquisto
• 1:18:38
  and pops the first pitch into short left center field.
• 1:18:41
  Rosario is there for this one. He makes the catch for the second out.
• 1:18:46
  Pepitone and Williams flying to center field against DiAcquisto, and Ron Sando will be the batter now.
• 1:18:51
  Here's something to remember.
• 1:18:53
  Anytime you have a motoring need, there are more than 23,000 standard stations and Chevron dealers ready to help you along the Chevron way.
• 1:19:03
  Two down, Sando has grounded out and struck out.
• 1:19:07
  DiAcquisto for the first time, delivers, fouled off to the right, strike one.
• 1:19:15
  Giants scored three times in the first inning, twice in the second, once in the top half of this fifth inning.
• 1:19:20
  The Cubs get a run in the third and a run in the fourth.
• 1:19:23
  Carreira's pitched the first three, DiAcquisto now working his second inning.
• 1:19:27
  Curveball, line drive, base hit into left center field.
• 1:19:29
  DiAcquisto hung that pitch. Rosario over to field, fires into second face and holding with a single of Sando.
• 1:19:36
  DiAcquisto hung that curveball right out of the play and Sando busted it into left center.
• 1:19:41
  Today's game is being brought to you by standard stations and independent Chevron dealers.
• 1:19:45
  Bank of America, all state insurance companies.
• 1:19:49
  Jose Cardinal has singled and he's flying deep to center.
• 1:19:55
  Sando at first.
• 1:19:59
  Pitch to Cardinal, high inside for a ball.
• 1:20:02
  Dave Kingman probably thinks his third base is a cinch to play.
• 1:20:06
  He hasn't had a chance over there today so far.
• 1:20:08
  He's just stood around not doing nothing, waiting for his turn to pass.
• 1:20:14
  One and O count to Cardinal, right hand batting right fielder.
• 1:20:17
  Flop throw to first base by DiAcquisto.
• 1:20:25
  DiAcquisto working from a stretch, two down, Sando at first, high fastball for a ball.
• 1:20:30
  Got a two and O to Cardinal.
• 1:20:33
  DiAcquisto telegraphs his curveball a little bit.
• 1:20:36
  They're going to have to work on him in that phase of his pitching.
• 1:20:40
  It's a tendency for young pitchers to sort of wrap their wrist,
• 1:20:44
  curl their wrist when they're going to throw a curveball to get a little more spin on it.
• 1:20:48
  Very easy for the opposing coaches and hitters to pick it up.
• 1:20:51
  Swing and a miss at a fastball.
• 1:20:54
  And when I use the term fastball, I use it seriously in this case.
• 1:20:58
  He busted that one in there and Cardinal walked around outside the batter's box,
• 1:21:02
  talking to himself, proudly congratulating himself on still being able to walk up to the plate.
• 1:21:10
  Two out, runner at first, two one count.
• 1:21:13
  DiAcquisto's stretch, looks at first, the two one pitch, fastball filed away.
• 1:21:19
  And Cardinal was going one way as the ball was going the other.
• 1:21:23
  Jose really wasn't excited about facing that one.
• 1:21:25
  It's two and two.
• 1:21:27
  In spring training, these hitters, especially the veterans who have a job made,
• 1:21:32
  are not too anxious to get up there and swing a bat against young, wild right-handers, or left-handers for that matter.
• 1:21:42
  Sato leads away at first with two down.
• 1:21:46
  Fastball is a bit low, and it's a full count of three and two.
• 1:21:52
  Sato will be running.
• 1:21:55
  A few changes for the Cubs next inning.
• 1:22:01
  Manager Leo DeRosier going to get some lineup changes in there.
• 1:22:06
  Three, two, pitch.
• 1:22:08
  One on line drive foul, past third base.
• 1:22:12
  Hit hard, but pulled foul by a couple of feet.
• 1:22:17
  Spring training is time when the managers want to get a lot of people in there to play.
• 1:22:24
  And all of a sudden you find yourself looking at rosters,
• 1:22:28
  trying to figure out just exactly who the manager is sending in to play.
• 1:22:43
  Count remains of three and two to Cardinal.
• 1:22:45
  The equestria stretches.
• 1:22:46
  Sato leads.
• 1:22:47
  He'll be going on the three, two, pitch.
• 1:22:48
  A throw over there, and Sato gets back in.
• 1:22:51
  Giants have Kingman at third, Spire at short, 20s at second, Goodson at first,
• 1:22:56
  Haley catching, DiCaprio doing the pitching.
• 1:22:58
  The outfield is Williams in left, Rosario in center, and Matthews in right.
• 1:23:03
  Stretch for the three, two, pitch to Cardinal.
• 1:23:07
  Swung on and missed, he struck in on.
• 1:23:11
  No runs on a hit, no errors on a runner left arm.
• 1:23:14
  At the end of five, the score tells a giant six and the Cubs two.
• 1:23:20
  Numerous changes, myriad changes for the Chicago Cubs,
• 1:23:24
  and to tell you about it, here's Bill Thomas.
• 1:23:26
  Bill North goes in to play center field, Paul Popovich at second base,
• 1:23:30
  Jim Tyrone in left field, Jim Hickman at first base,
• 1:23:34
  Carmen Fanzone at third base, Cleo James in right field,
• 1:23:38
  Hector Torres the shortstop,
• 1:23:40
  Ken Rudolph remains in the broad game to do the catching,
• 1:23:43
  and the new club pitcher is right hander, Phil Bacon.
• 1:23:49
  For the Giants, Gary Thomason will be a pinch batter.
• 1:23:54
  Thomason, left-handed batter.
• 1:24:00
  Thomason was Amarillo last year, about at 373 in 126 games.
• 1:24:09
  Swings and misses on the first pitch, strike one.
• 1:24:23
  Regan delivers a line drive, right field, it'll be a base hit.
• 1:24:26
  Coming over towards the line field is Cleo James.
• 1:24:29
  Thomason trying for second base, and he'll be in at second with a slide.
• 1:24:33
  Thomason, the young fellow, batting for the first time in a San Francisco Giants uniform,
• 1:24:36
  why, he says, a double in the right field.
• 1:24:39
  Beats Cleo James, throw, with a slide into second base.
• 1:24:44
  And Jim Rosario, center fielder, will be a batter.
• 1:24:49
  Jimmy batting for the first time in his broad game, switch batter,
• 1:24:51
  about at 224 for the Giants last year, in 93 games,
• 1:24:55
  played 13 games at Phoenix in the middle of the season.
• 1:24:58
  Thomason gets the double to open up against Regan.
• 1:25:03
  Regan, better than right-hander,
• 1:25:08
  wants a starting pitcher with Detroit, center to minors, got a trial with the Dodgers.
• 1:25:13
  This is high to Rosario for ball one.
• 1:25:17
  Came out of the minors with the Dodgers, won 18 games as a reliever one season.
• 1:25:26
  Rosario waits, Regan delivers, misses high ball two.
• 1:25:30
  Gary Thomason at second base, nobody out.
• 1:25:37
  Top of the sixth in the Giants lead 62.
• 1:25:43
  Regan looks at second, comes to the plate, gets the breaking pitch over.
• 1:25:48
  Two-and-one count.
• 1:25:51
  Regan often accused of dockering up the baseball.
• 1:26:01
  Thomason will lead at second.
• 1:26:02
  The two-and-one pitch to Rosario, grounded, base hit, right field.
• 1:26:05
  Around third is Thomason.
• 1:26:07
  Here comes James Stewart.
• 1:26:08
  Thomason falls down.
• 1:26:09
  He will get back to third, and on to second goes Rosario.
• 1:26:12
  Thomason coming around third base was waved home by Johnny McNamara, but tripped and fell.
• 1:26:17
  The throw came all the way to the plate.
• 1:26:20
  It's not cut off by the Cubs.
• 1:26:22
  Thomason was able to get back to third, and Rosario moves up to second.
• 1:26:26
  Give Jimmy a base hit.
• 1:26:27
  He takes second on the throw.
• 1:26:29
  Giants have runners at second and third with nobody out, and Tito for one-ease will be the batter.
• 1:26:34
  Tito, three for three, had a blue double in the first inning, single in the second,
• 1:26:38
  so he'll begin in the fourth.
• 1:26:40
  He's driven in around his quarter run.
• 1:26:44
  One-ease, which batter, batting left-handed.
• 1:26:51
  Regan, the work in the stretch, as the Cubs pull the infield in.
• 1:26:57
  Van Zon, Torres, Popovich, and Hickman all move in.
• 1:27:04
  Regan from the stretch delivers a slider for a strike on the outside corner.
• 1:27:10
  Thomason at third, Rosario at second, nobody out.
• 1:27:14
  Top of inning number six, Giants six, Cubs two.
• 1:27:23
  Regan sets it to the boat, comes to the plate, drive to center field.
• 1:27:27
  Going back, making a catch to center field, a one-run will score.
• 1:27:32
  Rosario heading for third to throw his cutoff, and Rosario is in at third.
• 1:27:36
  Bill North, the center fielder, had to move back on that drive hit by Tito Pouenis.
• 1:27:41
  He set 20 deep enough for Thomason to come in and score easily to make the Giants lead now seven to two.
• 1:27:46
  Rosario moved to third.
• 1:27:48
  Pouenis has his second RBI of the day, and he's still perfect in the day at three for three.
• 1:27:54
  Dave Kingman walked in quarter run in the first inning, struck out in the second, walked in the fourth.
• 1:28:04
  Again, Regan works in the stretch, and the Cubs keep the infield in as Regan misses outside, ball one.
• 1:28:09
  Right-hander against right-hander.
• 1:28:16
  Regan ready, was down the line, drive to right side, base hit.
• 1:28:21
  Ground ball passed the drawn-in infield, and looked like Kingman was trying to go that way, and he did.
• 1:28:26
  Dave punched the ball through that drawn-in infield to the right side.
• 1:28:30
  Rosario scores.
• 1:28:36
  Giants now lead at eight to two, Ned Goodson, science first baseman, what was that?
• 1:28:44
  Strikeout victim his first time.
• 1:28:46
  Willie McKelvey started the ball game, singled and lined out.
• 1:28:51
  Goodson left hander better, Ed a good smooth swing.
• 1:28:54
  Drive to deep left center field.
• 1:28:57
  He's trying on the run, the Cub outfield will not get this, as it goes all the way to the wall, the left center field corner.
• 1:29:02
  Kingman turning it on, coming around third.
• 1:29:04
  He will score standing up as Hector Throys the shortstop runs the ball back in.
• 1:29:12
  Jim Tyrone the left fielder, center fielder Bill North had no chance.
• 1:29:15
  That was a drive, high drive, but in the alley in left center, and all the way to the center.
• 1:29:21
  Kingman scores the third run of the inning, Goodson gets a double and an RBI.
• 1:29:35
  Right fielder Gary Matthews will be the Giants batter.
• 1:29:44
  Gary and Nathaniel Matthews, Goodson away from second, pitches low ball one.
• 1:29:58
  Matthews played at Amarillo last year, about at 279, had 15 home runs, 86 RBIs, right handed batter.
• 1:30:05
  Ed Goodson away from second, Regan looks there, comes to the plate, ground ball, deep shortstop, Torres has it, his throw is in time to get Matthews.
• 1:30:13
  Gary gets down the line very well, Torres just gets him by a step at first base.
• 1:30:20
  The next batter, number 20, Bernie Williams left fielder.
• 1:30:23
  Left fielder Bernie Williams moves in for the Giants.
• 1:30:26
  Williams divided the year with Phoenix and San Francisco, 73 games at Phoenix, battered 308, 35 games with the big club, battered 178.
• 1:30:38
  Goodson had to hold on at second base on Matthews ground ball out.
• 1:30:44
  Williams another guy with good speed, and another right handed batter.
• 1:30:49
  Regan to the plate, foul of the screen.
• 1:30:56
  Foul of the screen, it's Regan up on the count to Williams on one.
• 1:31:13
  Goodson at second, now with two outs, two runs in for the Giants, San Francisco in front, 82, two in the top of the sixth.
• 1:31:27
  Regan's pitch high inside, Williams has to bail out of there.
• 1:31:33
  A one-one count.
• 1:31:43
  Regan ready, Goodson away from second, a one-one pitch, breaking ball for a strike.
• 1:31:50
  Regan, the edge in the count, a ball and two strikes.
• 1:32:02
  Regan looking at second, now comes to the plate, misses outside with a slider, a two-two count.
• 1:32:20
  Two-two count, Joe Regan's pitch, looped on the left field line pretty deep coming over the left fielder on the run,
• 1:32:27
  making the catch Jim Tyrone, a good running catch by Tyrone on the left field line.
• 1:32:34
  Williams retired and so are the Giants, San Francisco comes up with two more runs.
• 1:32:41
  Three more runs.
• 1:32:45
  So I stand corrected on the score, three runs on four hits.
• 1:32:49
  No errors, one winner left on. At the end of five and a half, the Giants nine, make up skills.
• 1:32:58
  I'd like to take a minute to talk to you women in our audience about one of your favorite subjects, sales.
• 1:33:03
  Not just any kind of sales, but the kind that can really save you money.
• 1:33:07
  Have you ever gone by a store and seen a sign that said, sales, 30 percent off?
• 1:33:12
  Then you look at the things in the window and see the dress you expected to buy the following week.
• 1:33:16
  Only now it's on sale and the sale will be over next week? What do you do?
• 1:33:20
  Easy. You buy the dress this week instead of next.
• 1:33:25
  Only one of you are waiting until next week to buy the dress because you're short of cash this week.
• 1:33:29
  What then? Well, that's easy too.
• 1:33:32
  That's the time to whip out your trusty Bank AmeriCard.
• 1:33:35
  Because by using your Bank AmeriCard at a time like that, you can take advantage of the sale
• 1:33:40
  and pay less for something you would have paid more for later on.
• 1:33:44
  That's using your Bank AmeriCard and your head.
• 1:33:48
  Bank AmeriCard, think of it as money, money that can save you money.
• 1:34:00
  Changes for the Giants. New batteries. Skip the black pitching. Dave Rader doing the catching.
• 1:34:05
  Alan Gallagher goes in to play at third base. Chris Arnold is at second.
• 1:34:15
  Fit like the left hander has not been scheduled to pitch today by Manager Charlie Fox.
• 1:34:21
  Skip, something of a mystery to the Giants, says in 1970 Skip was 10-3 at Phoenix in mid-year,
• 1:34:27
  came up 1-5, lost 5 at the big club, and last year could never get it together.
• 1:34:31
  Phoenix had a disastrous season. Ground ball, base hit the left field by shortstop Hector Torres,
• 1:34:39
  leading off the bottom of the sixth for the Cubs.
• 1:34:41
  Torres grounds a solid single to left.
• 1:34:46
  The battle with the catcher Ken Rudolph.
• 1:34:49
  Fit like at Phoenix, lost 7, lost 11, had a turn around average of 6.40.
• 1:35:00
  Right end of batting catcher, Ken Rudolph standing in.
• 1:35:05
  Fit like looks at first, comes to the plate, and misses high with a fastball for ball one.
• 1:35:14
  Giants 9, Cubs 2.
• 1:35:16
  Giants with 3 in the first, 2 in the second, 1 in the fifth, and 3 in the sixth.
• 1:35:22
  Cubs will single runs in the third and fourth.
• 1:35:25
  Fit like's 1-0 pitch.
• 1:35:27
  Field, through Gallagher in the left field, going to second, holding on as Torres.
• 1:35:32
  Williams throws in towards third base.
• 1:35:34
  A solid shot.
• 1:35:36
  Gallagher made an attempt on the ball, a ball went right through him in the left field.
• 1:35:42
  Protect the official scoring, and it'll probably go to the base hit.
• 1:35:44
  It was hit like a shot.
• 1:35:48
  The next batter, number 27, Bill Riggins.
• 1:35:56
  It does go as a base hit for Rudolph.
• 1:35:59
  This is third of the ball game.
• 1:36:03
  And pitcher Phil Regan, well bat for himself.
• 1:36:10
  For the first two batters that they spit like, they hit the ball solidly.
• 1:36:17
  Both four base hits, left hander looks at second, delivers, Regan round the bunk, pops it up.
• 1:36:21
  Radar lost it, now comes over and cannot get to it as it drops untouched in foul territory.
• 1:36:28
  Regan has been at bat 320 times in the big leagues.
• 1:36:33
  Not exactly an overpowering hitter, has an 0-9-0 average.
• 1:36:37
  A sacrifice.
• 1:36:55
  Cleo James, the right fielder on deck.
• 1:36:58
  Pitlock ready, the runners lead from first and second.
• 1:37:01
  Round the bunk is Regan, the bunk system to the right side, a good bunk.
• 1:37:03
  Pitlock picks it up, throws to first, a good spin covering as both runners move up.
• 1:37:08
  Regan sacrifices successfully, moving Torres to third, Rudolph to second.
• 1:37:15
  Cleo James, the right fielder, will bat for his first time.
• 1:37:21
  James, with a Cubs and Tacoma last year, batted 368 in 71 games at Tacoma,
• 1:37:29
  287 in 54 games with the Cubs.
• 1:37:35
  James, right hander battered.
• 1:37:41
  On deck, the second baseman, Paul Popovich.
• 1:37:43
  Torres at third, Rudolph at second, one out.
• 1:37:48
  Bottom of the sixth and the Giants lead 9-2.
• 1:37:50
  Pitlock fires a curve a bit too low, ball one.
• 1:38:03
  One ball, no stag cat.
• 1:38:09
  Pitlock back to the play.
• 1:38:11
  Fastball popped up.
• 1:38:12
  Foul, Raider might have a play coming back towards the screen,
• 1:38:15
  all the way to the screen and it's back into the sixth.
• 1:38:29
  Giants with Gallagher at third, Spire still at short.
• 1:38:32
  Chris Arnold at second, Ed Goodson at first.
• 1:38:34
  Hatfield, Bernie Williams in left, Jim Rosario in center.
• 1:38:39
  Gary Matthews in right.
• 1:38:41
  Pitlock the pitcher, Raider the catcher.
• 1:38:43
  Pitlock the third pitcher for the Giants.
• 1:38:45
  John Corretto started with three innings.
• 1:38:46
  John DiAcosto went the next two.
• 1:38:49
  Now Pitlock coming on here in the sixth and John Cumberland throws
• 1:38:52
  into bullpen for San Francisco.
• 1:38:57
  Pitlock kicks, delivers 1-1.
• 1:38:59
  Big curve ball is way outside and high.
• 1:39:02
  Two ball, one stag cat.
• 1:39:15
  Pitlock checking later for a sign.
• 1:39:18
  A 2-1 pitch on its way.
• 1:39:20
  High and outside with a fastball, ball three.
• 1:39:29
  Pitlock behind on the count, three balls and one strike.
• 1:39:44
  Pitlock glances at third as Torres comes down the line.
• 1:39:46
  A 3-1 pitch, way outside and high ball for James Wachs.
• 1:39:56
  To load up the bases, second baseman Paul Popovich will bat for the first time in the game.
• 1:40:04
  Popovich, switch batter, will bat right-handed against the left-hander.
• 1:40:08
  Skip Pitlock.
• 1:40:09
  Popovich, last here with the Cubs.
• 1:40:12
  That is two-spot in Dane.
• 1:40:14
  Popovich plays all the infield spots and has been using the Cays in the outfield.
• 1:40:23
  Cubs with the bases loaded, one out, trailing the Giants 9-2 in the sixth.
• 1:40:27
  Ground ball sharply hit to Arnold.
• 1:40:29
  Bobbles, picks it up, throws to first, gets the one-runner.
• 1:40:32
  Popovich is a run and scores.
• 1:40:34
  The ball had double play possibilities.
• 1:40:37
  Handcuffed Arnold, bounced off his chest.
• 1:40:40
  Pick it up and maybe the only play you had left to play on Popovich at first is a run and scores.
• 1:40:45
  Popovich with the RBI.
• 1:40:47
  Rudolph goes to third.
• 1:40:50
  James up to second.
• 1:40:52
  And right-fitter Jim, or left-fitter, Jim Tyrone will be the batter.
• 1:40:57
  Tyrone with Quincy last year, that is 3-0-3.
• 1:41:01
  Sixty-one games, right-handed batter, takes a curve, high ball one.
• 1:41:05
  Understand Tyrone has good power.
• 1:41:09
  It's going to go over well with the young audience.
• 1:41:19
  Good luck, kicks, throws, fastball, swing on a mess, a one-one count.
• 1:41:24
  Jim Tyrone, right-handed batter.
• 1:41:32
  Tyrone, an All-American baseball player at Pan-American College in Texas.
• 1:41:41
  Good luck, curve, deep to center field.
• 1:41:43
  Rosario turns, goes back, still goes back, over his head and off the center field fence.
• 1:41:48
  Two runs score.
• 1:41:50
  Round second heading for third is Tyrone and he can run.
• 1:41:52
  Here comes the throw, it hits him, bounces away out along the left field arm and he will stay at third.
• 1:41:59
  Tyrone crashed one over the head of Jim Rosario.
• 1:42:02
  It took one bounce off the center field fence at the 430-foot mark.
• 1:42:06
  James and Rudolph score.
• 1:42:09
  Tyrone winds up with a triple and two RBI.
• 1:42:13
  Gets the ball a long ways.
• 1:42:16
  Great speed, he showed on the bases.
• 1:42:20
  Jim Hickman, veteran campaigner for the Cubs, now playing at first base in this ballgame.
• 1:42:25
  Replacing Joe Pepiton, right-handed batter.
• 1:42:27
  Good luck to the plate.
• 1:42:29
  Fastball, low ball one.
• 1:42:32
  Last year Hickman batted 256, 19 home runs, 60 RBI.
• 1:42:35
  The year before he had a great year, 32 home runs, 115 RBI, 315 average.
• 1:42:44
  Tyrone down the line at third.
• 1:42:46
  Fastball misses outside.
• 1:42:48
  Fidlock drops behind two balls, no strikes.
• 1:42:51
  Flores and Rudolph single, Regan sacrificed.
• 1:42:54
  James walked.
• 1:42:55
  Popovich got one run across on an infield out and Tyrone has tripled to drive in two.
• 1:43:00
  The Cubs with three across, the Giants lead now nine to five.
• 1:43:05
  Fidlock's pitch, called strike a fastball just in the strike zone up around the letters.
• 1:43:13
  Skipping on account of two and one.
• 1:43:20
  Two on pitch to the right-handed batter.
• 1:43:22
  Lettup popped up, right side of the infield.
• 1:43:24
  Arnold calling, drifting over behind first base on the outfield grass, makes the catch,
• 1:43:29
  Regan at his side.
• 1:43:30
  And the Sun gave Chris a bit of trouble.
• 1:43:32
  Four Chicago on his six, three runs on three hits.
• 1:43:37
  No Giants errors, one runner left on.
• 1:43:39
  The Giants nine and the Cubs five.
• 1:43:48
  If you're driving anywhere around the Bay Area today, in a car you're driving as a compact,
• 1:43:52
  Allstate may be able to give you a 15 percent discount on auto liability insurance.
• 1:43:57
  Hundreds of makes and models, yours qualify.
• 1:44:00
  Allstate is one of the few insurance companies that gives qualified compact car owners a 15 percent discount.
• 1:44:06
  Allstate has a lot of other ways you may save on auto insurance, too.
• 1:44:09
  They're a good driver rate.
• 1:44:11
  They're a two-car discount.
• 1:44:12
  Allstate even gives young married couples a discount.
• 1:44:15
  If your auto insurance expires soon, talk to an Allstate agent and learn how to maybe save some money.
• 1:44:21
  You're in good hands with Allstate, and thousands of drivers can testify to that.
• 1:44:50
  Number seven, as the Cubs come up with three and a six to close,
• 1:44:54
  or cut the Giants lead, and now it's nine to five, margin.
• 1:44:57
  And for any number seven, here again is why.
• 1:45:00
  Don't forget opening day at Candlestick Park.
• 1:45:03
  Thursday, April 6th, San Diego will be the ball club opening against the Giants.
• 1:45:08
  And then the first doubleheader of the season will be that Sunday, April 9th, also against San Diego.
• 1:45:14
  For tickets to opening day or the doubleheader or any other of the Giants home game,
• 1:45:19
  tickets are available by mail, $4.50 for box seats, $3.50 for reserved.
• 1:45:24
  You can write the Giants ticket off at Candlestick Park, San Francisco 9-4-1-2-4.
• 1:45:30
  That's San Francisco 9-4-1-2-4.
• 1:45:33
  I know you'll want to be out and see Candlestick Park.
• 1:45:36
  It has blossomed into a beauty, a new construction out there.
• 1:45:40
  And you'll want to come out and watch the Giants in action, a Western Division champion.
• 1:45:48
  Dave Rader will be the leadoff batter.
• 1:45:53
  Takes outside for a ball.
• 1:45:58
  Regan.
• 1:45:59
  Now Art Williams is going to take a look at the baseball.
• 1:46:03
  Home plate umpire is going to inspect the baseball and toss it back out to Regan.
• 1:46:09
  The Giants leading 9-5, out hitting the Cubs 11-9.
• 1:46:17
  Has Rader, a left-hand batter.
• 1:46:21
  Faces the right-hander, Phil Regan.
• 1:46:23
  Takes a strike.
• 1:46:28
  One-on-one count.
• 1:46:30
  David Martin Rader, he is 23 years old.
• 1:46:36
  Lives in Bakersfield.
• 1:46:37
  Takes a strike.
• 1:46:39
  For a ball and two strikes.
• 1:46:41
  Started his baseball in 1967 at Salt Lake.
• 1:46:44
  Resnaud in 67 and 68.
• 1:46:47
  Amorello 69-70 and Phoenix 71.
• 1:46:51
  Last year he appeared in three games with the Giants.
• 1:46:54
  Parents left foul ball back out of play and it's one and two.
• 1:47:00
  Rader then Spire.
• 1:47:03
  And the pitching's done.
• 1:47:07
  Hotfield straight away against his left-hand batter.
• 1:47:12
  He hit 314 for Phoenix last year.
• 1:47:14
  That's his biggest year with the bat outside of his first year with Salt Lake City when he hit 321.
• 1:47:22
  Swings and tops it up behind the plate.
• 1:47:25
  Rudolph waiting for this one and makes the catch for out number one.
• 1:47:29
  So Rader fouls out to the opposing catcher and we'll pause for state identification.
• 1:47:35
  This is the Burt West radio network.
• 1:47:38
  When you want to hear the sounds of the city, listen to the Jim Lang Show, 6 to 10, weekdays right here on KSFO in San Francisco.
• 1:47:46
  The sound of the city.
• 1:47:55
  Chris Spire hits a drive to left field.
• 1:47:57
  Back deep goes Jim Tyrone.
• 1:47:59
  The left fielder turns and makes the catch for the second out.
• 1:48:02
  Spire batting left-handed.
• 1:48:03
  Hits it all along the way to left field.
• 1:48:06
  Quite sure this year at Candlestick the left field has not been particularly home run haven for hitters.
• 1:48:12
  But I think this year at Candlestick with the stadium enclosed that the ball is going to be jumping out of there a great deal more.
• 1:48:20
  Steve Sanoveros is up here to bat for the pitcher Skip Pitlock, a left-hand batter.
• 1:48:25
  He takes up side for a ball.
• 1:48:26
  He was with Fresno last year at 321.
• 1:48:28
  Had 18 home runs and 92 RBI.
• 1:48:31
  He was being changed to an outfielder from third base.
• 1:48:34
  He played third base with Fresno last year.
• 1:48:36
  Swings and fouls it to the screen and it's a ball and a strike.
• 1:48:39
  Two down, bases empty.
• 1:48:41
  Regan was tagged for three runs in the sixth inning.
• 1:48:44
  He has retired the first two minutes faced in this seventh.
• 1:48:50
  Osfield gives Onoveros the right center field area.
• 1:48:54
  North the center fielder playing well over in left center.
• 1:48:57
  Cleo James guarding the right field line.
• 1:49:00
  In field backed up.
• 1:49:02
  1-1 count to Onoveros.
• 1:49:04
  Left hand batter checks his swing, rolls a foul down the third baseline.
• 1:49:08
  1 and 2.
• 1:49:13
  Next broadcast will be Saturday from Tucson, Arizona.
• 1:49:20
  Hopefully it will come from Tucson.
• 1:49:24
  1-2 pitch.
• 1:49:26
  Foul away to the left and it stays at 1 and 2.
• 1:49:29
  It's an upset if you go into Tucson ballpark and you get broadcast lines.
• 1:49:36
  Last year we had to tie two cans together.
• 1:49:40
  Tin cans with a piece of string.
• 1:49:43
  Swing and a miss.
• 1:49:44
  Onoveros is out on the strike.
• 1:49:47
  No runs, no hits, no errors, no one left on.
• 1:49:51
  And as we go to the bottom of the seventh inning,
• 1:49:56
  the score, the San Francisco Giants 9, the Chicago Cubs 5.
• 1:50:02
  Good working out.
• 1:50:05
  Is this an opening inning?
• 1:50:07
  All right, it's an opening inning.
• 1:50:08
  Let me tell you about some of the special events coming up.
• 1:50:11
  Opening day of course is April 6th against San Diego.
• 1:50:14
  We've mentioned that.
• 1:50:15
  The first double header is Sunday, April 9th.
• 1:50:17
  New kids bat day is Sunday, April 23rd.
• 1:50:21
  I guess there aren't many kids listening right now.
• 1:50:23
  They should be in school if you're not in school.
• 1:50:26
  And I'm going to let you come to bat day.
• 1:50:28
  Bat day, Sunday, April 23rd.
• 1:50:30
  That's against Houston.
• 1:50:33
  There are tickets available for those games.
• 1:50:34
  Now last year, if you'll recall on bat day, they had a turn away crowd.
• 1:50:39
  So it would be wise to get your tickets in advance for that April 23rd date.
• 1:50:45
  You can order by mail just right to the Giants ticket office,
• 1:50:48
  Candlestick Park, San Francisco 9, 4124.
• 1:50:51
  Box seats are 4 1 half, reserved seats 3 1 half.
• 1:50:54
  When bat day all, kids 14 and under, receive a free autographed baseball bat
• 1:50:58
  when they enter the ballpark.
• 1:51:01
  So remember the date, Sunday, April 23rd.
• 1:51:04
  Get your tickets ahead of time so you'll be assured of a seat.
• 1:51:14
  John Cumberland comes in to do the pitching as Pitlock went one inning.
• 1:51:17
  He could have been out of it without being scored upon.
• 1:51:19
  A potential double play ball was missed and a hard shot went through Gallagher,
• 1:51:23
  because that's not an indictment of Gallagher because it was hit like a bullet.
• 1:51:29
  Carmen Fanzona is the first batter, swings it, hits a line drive off the glove.
• 1:51:32
  It will fill up the shortstop and Fanzona will be saved at first.
• 1:51:35
  Phillips took his eye off that ball.
• 1:51:37
  It was a line drive, hit through the hole.
• 1:51:39
  He got over there, added glove on the ball, but it popped out of the glove.
• 1:51:43
  Fanzona is safe on that first base.
• 1:51:45
  Then air charge to Phillips, the shortstop.
• 1:51:50
  Michael Dwyer Phillips, who is 21 years old, is from Beaumont, Texas,
• 1:51:57
  or born in Beaumont, Texas.
• 1:51:59
  He lives in Irving, Texas.
• 1:52:01
  Irving, with Amarillo last year at 233.
• 1:52:05
  Bill North, center fielder, up here right-hand batter now with a runner at first, nobody else.
• 1:52:10
  The Giants lead 9-5. We're in the bottom of the seventh inning.
• 1:52:15
  John Cumberland, left-hander doing the pitching for the Giants.
• 1:52:20
  Cumberland, one of the reasons the Giants got up to such a fabulous early start last year.
• 1:52:23
  He fits very well.
• 1:52:26
  Delivers high for a ball two, and North turns the look south at the third base coach.
• 1:52:39
  Fanzona first. The pitch is outside.
• 1:52:43
  Ball three, Cumberland behind, 3-0.
• 1:52:52
  Giants 9, the Cubs 5.
• 1:52:57
  Cumberland 3-0 offering on the way, taken for a strike and a 3-1.
• 1:53:04
  One count. Upfield, around to the left, infield, backed up.
• 1:53:11
  Hoping for a ground ball to get two outs with one swing of the bat. 3-1 pitch.
• 1:53:17
  Bounded to shortstop, could be two. Phillips backed up, throws a second for one.
• 1:53:20
  Arnold threw the first, is not in time.
• 1:53:23
  Phillips had to back up on that ball, and that was just enough to erase the double play as North beats it out.
• 1:53:29
  The Giants, three forces, Fanzona second base for a top of the one.
• 1:53:34
  Hector Torres, who had a single in his one trip, will be the batter.
• 1:53:37
  Today's game being brought to you by Chevrolet's 1972 cars, Ham's Beer and Long's Drug Stores, and Rich Smalley's Pipe Tobacco.
• 1:53:50
  Hector Torres, right-hand batting shortstop, takes a curve in the dirt, bounds away, Raider scrambles after it, and North
• 1:53:58
  remains at first base.
• 1:54:08
  Rich has ground up old Chronicles and put them in his pipe, and that's what he's smoking today.
• 1:54:16
  You can smell Glendeckey Clare over here.
• 1:54:19
  Hector Torres, wakes, swings, and fouls it away.
• 1:54:32
  Out of a ball and a strike to Torres, it was one down and one on.
• 1:54:38
  That hander starts throwing on the bullpen for the Chicagos.
• 1:54:41
  Cumberland, the fourth Giant pitcher, Carothers, De Acresto, Pitlock, and now Cumberland.
• 1:54:51
  Torres chokes up on the bat about three or four inches.
• 1:54:53
  North leads from first to drive by Gallagher into short left field.
• 1:54:56
  Phillips chasing it down, North rounds second and holds on as Bernie Williams comes into field of all.
• 1:55:02
  Gallagher is probably wondering why me.
• 1:55:05
  Kingman stood out there for five innings and nothing was hit in that direction.
• 1:55:09
  Gallagher has been there two innings and he's had two shots and had to be wearing a bulletproof vest.
• 1:55:20
  Ken Rudolph, now that was Torres' second hit.
• 1:55:26
  It moved North to second base and with one down the Cubs have a threat at the bottom of the seventh inning.
• 1:55:32
  Giants leading nine to five.
• 1:55:36
  There goes the runner going North to throw to third and he is safe at third base.
• 1:55:41
  Rader made a perfect throw but North had a big jump on Cumberland and as North moved into third,
• 1:55:49
  Hector Torres stole second with a double steal.
• 1:55:54
  And the Cubs have runners at second and third with one out.
• 1:56:04
  Rudolph who has three hits and three trips, a right hand batter against Cumberland.
• 1:56:08
  The Giants still play the infield back and the outfield deep.
• 1:56:12
  Cumberland lines for the 1-0 pitch.
• 1:56:15
  Ball two, 2-0.
• 1:56:25
  North at third, Torres at second, one down, a 2-0 count to the right hand batting catcher, Ken Rudolph.
• 1:56:38
  Wind up by Cumberland with a 2-0 pitch.
• 1:56:41
  Low ball three.
• 1:56:42
  He's in danger of loading him up.
• 1:56:48
  3-0 count.
• 1:56:58
  Cumberland 3-0 pitch to Rudolph.
• 1:57:00
  Takes five, all four, and they are loaded up.
• 1:57:03
  Cumberland walks his first man.
• 1:57:07
  The base is filled and we'll have a pitch back and now Breeden will come up to bat for the pitchers.
• 1:57:17
  Breeden batting in this seventh inning will bat for Regan.
• 1:57:23
  Base is loaded, one out.
• 1:57:26
  North at third, Torres at second.
• 1:57:29
  Rudolph at first.
• 1:57:33
  And a big right hand batter, Hal Breeden, and I mean he's a figment.
• 1:57:39
  Eleven feet, six inches tall.
• 1:57:42
  Takes low for a ball.
• 1:57:44
  Six-two, 195 pounds, he looks bigger than that.
• 1:57:52
  Ball one.
• 1:57:53
  Bases are filled with Chicago and Breeden to see what he can do about getting them home.
• 1:58:03
  1-0 count to him, Cumberland in difficulty, the 1-0 pitch.
• 1:58:06
  Curve ball dribbles to first base.
• 1:58:07
  That's going to be a tricky chance.
• 1:58:09
  Cumberland didn't cover first and faith that first base is Breeden.
• 1:58:14
  That ball dribbled off the end of the bat.
• 1:58:16
  Goodson fielded it.
• 1:58:18
  Had a long run to first.
• 1:58:19
  For some reason, Cumberland did not go over to cover first base.
• 1:58:23
  And it costs him.
• 1:58:24
  A run comes in to score.
• 1:58:25
  It will be a base hit for Breeden on a little dribbler off the end of the bat.
• 1:58:31
  The bases remain loaded.
• 1:58:34
  In clear, the genes will be the batter.
• 1:58:36
  So it's a nine to six ball game.
• 1:58:38
  The Bows north scores.
• 1:58:40
  Torres went to third.
• 1:58:41
  Rudolph to second.
• 1:58:42
  And Breeden is saved at first.
• 1:58:44
  On the bottom of the seventh, the Giants lead, cut to nine to six.
• 1:58:47
  The bases are loaded, one out.
• 1:58:48
  James has balked and scored a run in his only appearance.
• 1:58:54
  Cumberland winds and his pitch.
• 1:58:56
  Curve ball, pop foul.
• 1:58:58
  Out of play.
• 1:59:01
  Cumberland throws himself toward third base side when he pitches.
• 1:59:05
  Makes it difficult for him to get over to first base or to cover on the right side.
• 1:59:09
  He just plain didn't move over there that time and it cost him an out.
• 1:59:13
  Those are things that can take a baseball game away from you.
• 1:59:20
  Cumberland winds up the pitch high for a ball.
• 1:59:24
  One and one.
• 1:59:28
  If the base is loaded and you get somebody out, you want to get them out.
• 1:59:32
  That time Cumberland let Breeden get off the hooks.
• 1:59:38
  A one-one pitch.
• 1:59:39
  Strike two calls.
• 1:59:40
  Good pass ball on the outside.
• 1:59:42
  It's one and two.
• 1:59:44
  Ball and two strikes.
• 1:59:46
  That's the count for Cleo James.
• 1:59:48
  A run in, the bases loaded.
• 1:59:49
  The Giants lead nine to six.
• 1:59:51
  The Cubs threaten.
• 1:59:53
  In field, double play position.
• 1:59:55
  The outfield backed up.
• 1:59:58
  Right hand batting James facing John Cumberland.
• 2:00:01
  He's away from third, Rudolph from second, Breeden from first.
• 2:00:05
  Low for a ball that's two and two.
• 2:00:08
  Close pitch.
• 2:00:09
  James didn't go for it.
• 2:00:13
  James is the sixth man to bat the inning.
• 2:00:19
  Cubs scored three times in the sixth inning.
• 2:00:21
  They've scored once and continue to threaten here in the seventh.
• 2:00:25
  Way high with a curve ball attempt.
• 2:00:30
  And now three and two.
• 2:00:33
  Cumberland has gone as far as he can with James.
• 2:00:41
  Three-two count for the right-hand batter.
• 2:00:44
  Cumberland winds with a three-two pitch.
• 2:00:47
  Dribble to first base.
• 2:00:49
  Goodson steps on first, throws to the plate too late.
• 2:00:53
  To get the runner coming in, he retired James at first base.
• 2:00:59
  The runner that's coming in to score was Torres.
• 2:01:01
  Goodson had a choice to make there, whether to come to the plate or run over and step first.
• 2:01:07
  He decided to go to first base, get the sure run and then throw to the plate.
• 2:01:11
  But by that time it was too late to get Torres.
• 2:01:14
  The ball was not a double play ball because it was hit too slowly off the end of the bat.
• 2:01:18
  Runners at second and third.
• 2:01:20
  Now Breeden moved up to second.
• 2:01:23
  And Rudolph went to third.
• 2:01:25
  The batter is Paul Popovich, right-hand batter.
• 2:01:28
  He's in third place, and they switch batters.
• 2:01:30
  Takes way high outside.
• 2:01:32
  Cumberland almost threw that one away.
• 2:01:33
  It's going nine to seven.
• 2:01:39
  Two down.
• 2:01:40
  Runners at second and third.
• 2:01:41
  Popovich to seventh.
• 2:01:42
  Now we're going to have a pinch runner.
• 2:01:46
  Gene Heiser going in to run at second base for Rudolph.
• 2:01:59
  Or for Breeden rather.
• 2:02:00
  Heiser running for Breeden at second base.
• 2:02:04
  Heiser takes over for Breeden at second.
• 2:02:06
  Rudolph remains at third base.
• 2:02:09
  And Popovich swings and pops the foul out of play.
• 2:02:13
  It's one-on-one.
• 2:02:14
  Cumberland throwing that fastball that tails away from the right-hand batters.
• 2:02:17
  He's had two of them in succession dribble it off the end of the bat to first base.
• 2:02:23
  One was close to the bag so Goodson could make the play.
• 2:02:27
  The other one was off the bag and Cumberland failed to cover first.
• 2:02:30
  And Goodson could not get over there in time with the ball after he fielded it.
• 2:02:35
  Cumberland should be on the bench right now had he fielded his position.
• 2:02:38
  One-one pitch is low for ball two.
• 2:02:40
  Two and one.
• 2:02:41
  John's having a struggle out there with his control.
• 2:02:44
  He's throwing some over the plate and some under the plate.
• 2:02:51
  That's what spring training is all about.
• 2:02:54
  He gets himself ready for the regular season.
• 2:02:56
  That regular season, April 6th against San Diego, that's the opener of Thursday.
• 2:03:01
  Strike calls and fastball two and two.
• 2:03:05
  Now it goes to two and two to Paul Popovich playing second base.
• 2:03:09
  That's over for Glenn Becker.
• 2:03:11
  Nine to six the Giants lead.
• 2:03:13
  Nine to seven the Giants lead.
• 2:03:14
  Two runs in for the Cubs in this inning.
• 2:03:18
  It's to Popovich.
• 2:03:19
  Swung on and missed.
• 2:03:20
  He's fucking out.
• 2:03:25
  Here in the seventh, two runs on two hits.
• 2:03:30
  No errors.
• 2:03:31
  One error and two runners left on.
• 2:03:35
  Two runs, two hits, one error, two runners left on.
• 2:03:37
  Nine to seven is the Giants nine and the Cubs seven.
• 2:03:41

• 2:04:43
  Inning number eight, a new pitcher for the Chicago Cubs, Roberto Rodriguez.
• 2:04:48
  And to tell you about it, there's Bill Thompson.
• 2:04:52
  Rodriguez, the right hander, 6,385 pounds, a non-roster player with the Cubs,
• 2:04:57
  was with Tacoma last year, a good one in the last record of 15 and 8,
• 2:05:02
  an earned run average of 4.01.
• 2:05:09
  Rodriguez will face the tap at a giant batting order.
• 2:05:12
  Center fielder Jim Rosario, second baseman Chris Arnold,
• 2:05:16
  third baseman Alan Gallagher, dude batting the third spot.
• 2:05:29
  Rosario, a base hit, scored a run in the sixth inning.
• 2:05:39
  Jimmy, 511, 175, takes low outside ball one.
• 2:05:44
  Born in Puerto Rico, was raised in New York City.
• 2:05:52
  Switch batter batting left-handed against Roberto Rodriguez, misses outside for ball two.
• 2:06:00
  Rodriguez short arms the ball, delivers something in the manner of an infielder throwing,
• 2:06:07
  at least he does on his first two pitches.
• 2:06:10
  Two at a delivery, the slider for a strike, two-and-one count.
• 2:06:26
  Two on pitch to Jim, bounded foul, pass first.
• 2:06:31
  Rodriguez, Rosario, even at two-and-two.
• 2:06:38
  In number eight, the Giants in front, nine to seven.
• 2:06:46
  Rodriguez, fourth pitcher for the Cubs, Jenkins, Pappas, Regan, preceding him.
• 2:06:53
  Two-two pitch to Rosario, swung out and missed, foul tipped into Rudolph's glove.
• 2:07:00
  Rodriguez strikes out the first man he faces.
• 2:07:03
  Rosario, an off-speed hit. Chris Arnold will bat for his first time at the Giants.
• 2:07:10
  Chris played 120 games at Phoenix last year.
• 2:07:13
  Outstanding year at the play, batted 343, gotten six games with the Giants at the end of the year,
• 2:07:18
  batted 231, had a home run, played in the air against the Braves in Atlanta.
• 2:07:26
  One strike, that's Arnold. One out, the base is empty.
• 2:07:35
  You know one pitch, swung out and missed, strike two.
• 2:07:38
  A breaking pitch by Roberto Rodriguez.
• 2:07:51
  Rodriguez, the time from Rudolph with the two pitch, that side ball won.
• 2:07:59
  Arnold is mentioning Gallagher saying why me at third base.
• 2:08:02
  Rudolph has caught the entire ball game, which is very unusual for an opening game of Spring-Jang.
• 2:08:07
  In the temps are in the nineties.
• 2:08:10
  Foul tipped, Rudolph is winged by him.
• 2:08:16
  He's hitting around behind home plate.
• 2:08:24
  A ball and two strikes on Chris Arnold.
• 2:08:40
  A one and two count.
• 2:08:42
  The right-hander batting Chris Arnold.
• 2:08:44
  Rodriguez back to the plate.
• 2:08:46
  Pop-up on the left field line coming in is Jim Tyrone waiting and makes the catch for out number two.
• 2:08:55
  With two outs and the bases empty, Alan Gallagher will bat for his first time.
• 2:09:00
  Gallagher, 136 games with the Giants last year, batted 277, had a five home run, 57 RBI.
• 2:09:12
  Right-hander batter against the right-hander, Roberto Rodriguez delivers.
• 2:09:16
  A breaking pitch that's popped up down along the right field line.
• 2:09:18
  We have James coming over into foul territory down towards the corner and makes the catch.
• 2:09:23
  As he came across the line and had to drift towards the outfield fence.
• 2:09:27
  The Giants go one, two, three against the youngster, Roberto Rodriguez.
• 2:09:33
  No runs, no hits, no errors, no runners left.
• 2:09:35
  At the end of seven and a half, the Giants nine and the Cubs seven.
• 2:09:40
  There are people who used to scoff at the idea of an American-made small car designed in Detroit
• 2:09:45
  and built in the USA to compete with the highly successful imports.
• 2:09:50
  Detroit simply cannot provide a proper little car at a proper little price, and that's that, they'd say.
• 2:09:56
  And some still say it.
• 2:09:58
  But their numbers have dwindled considerably since the debut and ultimate success of cars like Chevrolet's Vega.
• 2:10:05
  Not only has Vega proven itself a highly respectable economy car in anybody's league,
• 2:10:10
  it's also winning friends for its handling, performance, looks, comfort, and ride.
• 2:10:17
  Vega, the little car that does everything well.
• 2:10:20
  So well, in fact, that in 1971, its first full year on the market,
• 2:10:25
  Vega emerged as the most popular little car made in America.
• 2:10:30
  Chevrolet building a better way to see the USA.
• 2:10:36
  The first batter for the Cubs is number 34, Jim Tyrone.
• 2:10:41
  Against John Cumberland in the bottom of the eighth,
• 2:10:44
  Cubs will lead it off with left-hitter Jim Tyrone, who tripled in the sixth.
• 2:10:49
  I need to drive in a pair of runs, right-handed batter.
• 2:10:56
  Come under the plate, lead up is butted and it's foul, pop up back towards the screen,
• 2:11:00
  a little low pop, no chance for Raider to make a play.
• 2:11:11
  Both clubs have not completely changed lineups with the exception of Rudolph,
• 2:11:15
  the Cubs catcher has gone all the way.
• 2:11:17
  Attendance, the Scots still today, 4396, which is somewhat over capacity.
• 2:11:27
  Cumberland's 0-1 fetch, breaking ball inside at the ankles, a 1-1 count.
• 2:11:39
  First baseman Jim Hickman waiting in the on-deck circle, Cumberland delivers.
• 2:11:43
  Pop-up along the first baseline coming over Goodson towards the mound
• 2:11:47
  and makes the catch for out number one.
• 2:11:51
  Tyrone retired on pop-up, the Giants first baseman Ed Goodson and Jim Hickman,
• 2:11:57
  who popped a second and he numbers six.
• 2:12:04
  His first play to Prince, we'll move in.
• 2:12:07
  Hickman right-handed batter against left-hander Johnny Cumberland.
• 2:12:12
  Prince moves the defense around to the left playing Hickman as a pull-hitter.
• 2:12:19
  Cumberland kicks and throws, fast ball is a good strike in the outside corner.
• 2:12:30
  Cumberland with a sign from Dave Raider, breaking pitch just misses inside,
• 2:12:37
  one strike.
• 2:12:48
  1-1 pitch on its way, screwball, missed low and outside for ball two.
• 2:12:57
  Cumberland drops behind on Hickman, two balls and one strike.
• 2:13:00
  One out base is empty, bottom of the eighth, Giants lead nine to seven.
• 2:13:08
  2-1 pitch, grounded sharply to Gallagher at third,
• 2:13:11
  who has it on a second hop, his throw, and plenty of time to get Hickman.
• 2:13:14
  That's the third solid shot that's been hit at Gallagher since he came out of the ballgame.
• 2:13:18
  Now batting number 23, Carmen Fanzone, third base.
• 2:13:22
  Third baseman Carmen Fanzone.
• 2:13:25
  Fanzone safe on an error, as one previous plate appearance.
• 2:13:35
  Right-handed batter.
• 2:13:40
  Cumberland misses, high and away, ball one.
• 2:13:54
  Breaking pitch is a strike, a 1-1 count.
• 2:14:11
  Cumberland delivers, breaking pitch, a deep to left field.
• 2:14:14
  This one has a chance.
• 2:14:15
  If it's fair, it is fair, it's gone.
• 2:14:21
  Carmen Fanzone.
• 2:14:29
  Fanzone hit a home run in his first time at bat in the national league,
• 2:14:36
  hit it off of Steve Blatt.
• 2:14:38
  The Pirates hit the first home run of their spring training,
• 2:14:41
  and he hit a long drive to the left field fence.
• 2:14:46
  The defense lead is now 9-8.
• 2:14:51
  Bill North, center fielder, right-handed batter,
• 2:14:54
  bounce left the middle, through, base hit, center field.
• 2:14:57
  Into field, Rosario, North, solid ground ball, up the middle.
• 2:15:02
  Pass, Chris Arnold, on in the center field.
• 2:15:04
  Number 21, Hector Torres, shortstop.
• 2:15:07
  Hector Torres, shortstop, who is two for two since coming into the ballgame,
• 2:15:11
  is a straight-up batter.
• 2:15:25
  Sort of first by Cumberland, and North gets back in.
• 2:15:36
  Goodson holding against North at first base.
• 2:15:40
  Torres choking up on a bat, takes high outside, ball one.
• 2:15:53
  North getting a lead, held there by Ed Goodson.
• 2:15:57
  Cumberland watches as Brenner goes, pitches, grounded to left field, base hit.
• 2:16:01
  On his way to third, now holding up and going back to second is North.
• 2:16:04
  So Brenner hustles in, comes up with a ball and gets it back into the infield.
• 2:16:10
  Torres is now three for three.
• 2:16:13
  Now coming to bat for the Cubs, number 15, Ken Rudolph.
• 2:16:18
  Hector Ken Rudolph will be the batter.
• 2:16:19
  We'll pause for a space identification.
• 2:16:21
  This is the Golden West Radio Network.
• 2:16:23
  When you want to hear the sounds of the city,
• 2:16:25
  listen to Rest of the Syracuse Show, midnight to six,
• 2:16:29
  right here on KSFO in San Francisco.
• 2:16:32
  It's the sound of the city.
• 2:16:39
  Hector Ken Rudolph up for his fifth time, three singles, and he has walked.
• 2:16:45
  Perfect day.
• 2:16:48
  Cumberland misses, low, ball one.
• 2:16:50
  North at second, Torres at first, a run in, two outs.
• 2:16:53
  We're in the eighth and the Giants lead the Cubs, nine to eight.
• 2:17:06
  North and Torres lead.
• 2:17:07
  Cumberland flances at second, comes to the plate with a fast ball.
• 2:17:10
  It's a strike.
• 2:17:11
  That's high in the strike zone.
• 2:17:16
  A one-one count on Rudolph.
• 2:17:24
  Picture Roberto Rodriguez in the on-deck circle.
• 2:17:31
  Cumberland takes a second look at second base.
• 2:17:33
  Change up is swung on in this.
• 2:17:37
  Cumberland gets in front on account of ball and two strikes.
• 2:17:51
  Frank Fernandez now comes out in the on-deck circle, taking Rodriguez's place there.
• 2:17:57
  A one-two pitch.
• 2:17:59
  Bounded slowly towards Stewart Gallagher in front of Phillips,
• 2:18:01
  as it goes to second in time for the fours.
• 2:18:06
  Rudolph forcing Torres, Gallagher to the second baseman, Chris Arnold,
• 2:18:12
  for the final out.
• 2:18:13
  For the Cubs in the eighth, a run on three hits.
• 2:18:15
  No Giants, two runners left.
• 2:18:17
  The end of eighth, full.
• 2:18:19
  The Giants nine and the Cubs eight.
• 2:18:23
  They're shocked to stay at Long's Drugs where they make the right behave.

• 2:19:27
  The ninth inning of a thriller.
• 2:19:30
  Nine to eight.
• 2:19:33
  The Giants lead the Cubs as each manager has sprinkled the field with substitutions in the Cubs.
• 2:19:42
  Number two ball club has come up with six runs in the last three innings
• 2:19:48
  to narrow the gap to nine to eight.
• 2:19:52
  Now the Giants with a single run lead send up Ed Goodson,
• 2:19:58
  then Gary Matthews, and Bernie Williams against Roberto Rodriguez,
• 2:20:04
  the right-hander delivers the left-hand batting Goodson,
• 2:20:06
  who checks his swing and takes his strikes.
• 2:20:08
  Goodson has struck out and doubled, driven in a run.
• 2:20:14
  Playing first base.
• 2:20:15
  Giants had three runs in the first and two in the second.
• 2:20:19
  You have one in the clip.
• 2:20:21
  Pop ball out of play, I believe.
• 2:20:23
  It's over close, Dan.
• 2:20:24
  No, Panzone is there and makes the cap.
• 2:20:27
  Pop ball over near the stands and it came back, turned over,
• 2:20:30
  and Panzone, the third baseman, made the catch about, oh, ten feet probably inside the playing area
• 2:20:37
  for the first out.
• 2:20:38
  Now Gary Matthews.
• 2:20:44
  Giants have had nine consecutive batters retired.
• 2:20:54
  As Matthews waits, he's 0 for 1, swings and misses, strike one.
• 2:21:01
  We're in the top of the ninth inning, nine to eight.
• 2:21:04
  Giants being out hit by the Cubs, 14 to 11.
• 2:21:08
  Saturn curve, drilled to third.
• 2:21:10
  Panzone almost falls down but comes up with it, throws to first, and gets Matthews.
• 2:21:14
  That was a hot shot and Panzone going to his left,
• 2:21:17
  but it staggered as though he had taken a short left hook on the chin.
• 2:21:21
  But he managed to keep his balance, gets the throw over to first base for the second out,
• 2:21:25
  and now Bernie Williams.
• 2:21:38
  Rodriguez looking in for the sign for the first pitch to the right end batting Williams.
• 2:21:42
  Swing and a miss, strike one.
• 2:21:46
  Nothing in one that counts.
• 2:21:50
  Giants leading by a run, nine to eight in the top of the ninth.
• 2:21:54
  On the air again, Saturday from Tucson at 1140 San Francisco time.
• 2:22:01
  The Giants and the Indians pitch is low for a ball.
• 2:22:09
  Count one and one.
• 2:22:14
  It's also broadcast Sunday and that game from Phoenix will be televised on Channel 2.
• 2:22:24
  One-one pitch.
• 2:22:26
  Check swing and a roller down the first base side foul.
• 2:22:29
  Williams falling away from that pitch.
• 2:22:31
  It hit his bat, trickled down the first base side, but it was foul,
• 2:22:34
  and it's a one-ball-two strike count.
• 2:22:36
  Top of the ninth inning, the Giants in front nine to eight.
• 2:22:47
  Rodriguez is the fourth cup pitcher.
• 2:22:52
  Jenkins, Pappas, Rigan, and Rodriguez.
• 2:22:55
  Check swing and a roller to shortstop.
• 2:22:57
  Long throw by Torres is not in time.
• 2:23:01
  Bernie Williams beats it up.
• 2:23:04
  Long went over to try to field that ball in front of the shortstop.
• 2:23:07
  Couldn't get to it.
• 2:23:08
  Torres made the play a deep short and a flip throw to first was not.
• 2:23:11
  Not in time to get Williams.
• 2:23:14
  Dave Rader will be the batter now.
• 2:23:16
  The Giants get their twelfth hit after two rounds.
• 2:23:19
  End of the ninth inning.
• 2:23:22
  Rader has been up once and fouled out.
• 2:23:25
  Left hand batter.
• 2:23:27
  Looks at third base coach Johnny McNamara.
• 2:23:29
  Joey Amalfadano is coaching at first.
• 2:23:37
  Did the Giants continue on to win this one?
• 2:23:39
  Ferguson Jenkins would be the losing pitcher, and Carruthers would be the winner.
• 2:23:44
  They were the starters.
• 2:23:46
  Jenkins went two innings, gave up five runs to the Giants.
• 2:23:49
  Carruthers went three innings, gave up one run to the Cubs.
• 2:23:53
  Throw to first base and Williams gets back in.
• 2:23:56
  Burnie with an infield hit after two were down, and that broke a string of ten consecutive batters, retired by Cubs pitchers.
• 2:24:06
  Williams had his lead at first.
• 2:24:08
  Rodriguez throws over there quickly and Burnie gets back again.
• 2:24:18
  Two out.
• 2:24:19
  Williams at first base.
• 2:24:20
  Top of the ninth.
• 2:24:23
  Rodriguez pits.
• 2:24:24
  A fastball strike.
• 2:24:26
  So a month.
• 2:24:28
  Don Carruthers will be a guest on the postgame show.
• 2:24:38
  The expurgated.
• 2:24:39
  Furson.
• 2:24:46
  Williams away from first.
• 2:24:49
  Throw to first base. He gets back.
• 2:25:02
  Pit outside for a ball.
• 2:25:04
  Raider has a one-on-one count.
• 2:25:07
  Opening day at Candlestick Park is April 6th.

  Doubleheader with the Padres on Sunday, April 9th, and bat day is Sunday, April 23rd against Houston.
• 2:25:40
  Raider takes outside for a ball and it's two and one.
• 2:25:48
  Candlestick Park, wearing a brand new uniform this year.
• 2:25:52
  They've really done a remarkable job in there.
• 2:26:02
  Looking first, the 2-1 pit.
• 2:26:04
  Lowell for ball three.
• 2:26:06
  Rodriguez behind on Raider.
• 2:26:07
  Mike Phillips is due up next.
• 2:26:10
  Young shortstop.
• 2:26:13
  He will bat if Raider keeps things going here with two down on the ninth.
• 2:26:20
  Nine to eight, San Francisco in front of the Chicago Cubs.
• 2:26:31
  Stretched by Rodriguez.
• 2:26:33
  Swung on, line drive into left center field, going over the left fielder and dropped the ball.
• 2:26:38
  Does Tyrone.
• 2:26:39
  Williams is around third.
• 2:26:40
  He's heading for the plate.
• 2:26:41
  The throw comes into the middle of the infield and Williams has scored.
• 2:26:45
  At second is Raider.
• 2:26:46
  That was a low line shot into left center field.
• 2:26:48
  Tyrone with good speed got there, but the ball kicked off the heel of his glove.
• 2:26:54
  Drop to the ground and Williams, flying from first base, comes in to score.
• 2:27:00
  And we'll see how that is scored, a double or an air.
• 2:27:07
  The Giants now lead it by a score of ten to eight.
• 2:27:10
  And Mike Phillips is the batter with Raider over at second base.
• 2:27:15
  It's a two-base double.
• 2:27:22
  Raider at second base as Phillips grabs the first pitch, two second base.
• 2:27:26
  Up with Popovich, he's throw to first and the side is retired, but the Giants get a run on two hits.
• 2:27:31
  No error, then a runner left on.
• 2:27:35
  And as we go to the bottom of the ninth, the score, the Giants ten and the Cubs eight.
• 2:27:42
  It seems that the more you get to know about baseball, the more you enjoy it.
• 2:27:46
  And one of the most important things to know is how great a cold hands goes with ball games.
• 2:27:51
  Anywhere, anytime.
• 2:27:52
  Like right now, for example, while you're listening to this game with the rest of the Brotherhood,
• 2:27:56
  unlike most beers today, Ham's Tap and Regular is brewed natural, nothing artificial about it.
• 2:28:01
  So Ham's has a natural drinkability that's been keeping big beer drinkers happy for over a hundred years.
• 2:28:06
  Let's drink to that, shall we?
• 2:28:08
  Now there's a big beer, Brotherhood.
• 2:28:10
  Men who like lots of beer, join the Brotherhood of Ham.
• 2:28:15
  Join the big beer, Brotherhood.
• 2:28:18
  And see, there's always room, and you're in the place to be.
• 2:28:20
  energy, and the day, it takes a town of big beers.
• 2:28:30
  Brotherhood, the big beer's taking Brotherhood, the big beer's taking Brotherhood of Ham.
• 2:28:37
  Now heading for the pitcher, number 47, Frank Fernandez.
• 2:28:47
  Frank Fernandez will come up to hit for the pitcher, Rodriguez.
• 2:28:56
  Fernandez, the right-hand batter.
• 2:29:03
  As Cumberland looks in for the sign for the pitch to Fernandez,
• 2:29:09
  John delivers, swung on, grounded down the third baseline, it was off his foot.
• 2:29:13
  Foul ball, strike one count.
• 2:29:15
  Ball was in fair territory, but it hit the batter on the foot when he fouled it at the plate, and it's a strike one count.
• 2:29:21
  Cumberland has a two-run lead, ten to eight.
• 2:29:26
  The Giants trying for the sixth consecutive time to beat the Chicago Cubs in the spring opener.
• 2:29:37
  Cumberland into the windup for the pitch.
• 2:29:39
  High for a ball, it's one-on-one.
• 2:29:43
  Ball on the strike, John Cumberland, who last year was in the Giants starting rotation.
• 2:29:51
  His difficulties out here this afternoon, pitch a strike call, that one's just in the strike zone.
• 2:29:57
  It's a ball and two strikes.
• 2:30:02
  Might have been a strike if he'd had Fay Wray in his arms, but it looked to be a little bit high.
• 2:30:11
  One-two pitch, outside for a ball, and it's two and two.
• 2:30:18
  Hotfield playing back deep against Fernandez, batting for the pitcher, top of the order.
• 2:30:22
  Then Cleo James and Paul Popovich.
• 2:30:27
  Two-two pitch, lead up is just a bit low, and it's three and two.
• 2:30:33
  He'd give him a screwball that time, and it was just below the knee, so it's a full count of three and two.
• 2:30:41
  Cumberland not wanting to walk anybody, certainly not the leadoff man in the bottom of the ninth inning.
• 2:30:48
  But he is as far as he can go down, three and two is three-two pitch, swung on, cracked foul to the left,
• 2:30:53
  past third base coach Pete Reeser.
• 2:30:57
  Dimensions here in Scottsdale, 360 down the line, 375 to left and right, 417 to left and right center,
• 2:31:05
  and 430 to straightaway center field.
• 2:31:07
  Ball park, three-two pitch, ball four, he walked in.
• 2:31:13
  Cumberland walks the leadoff man, and Cleo James will be the latter.
• 2:31:22
  Raider goes out to talk to Cumberland.
• 2:31:27
  James has walked and grounded out in his two trips.
• 2:31:37
  Right-hand batter against the left-hand pitching of John Cumberland.
• 2:31:46
  Giants hopefully looking for a double-playground ball in this spot.
• 2:31:53
  Cumberland stretches for the first pitch, a strike called 0-1-1.
• 2:32:02
  Cubs have scored in the third, fourth, sixth, seventh, and eighth inning.
• 2:32:07
  Have a runner on here with nobody out.
• 2:32:09
  The bottom of the ninth, the Giants are in front by two, 10-8.
• 2:32:13
  Line drive foul, look out, ooh, that one skipped over the low fence in right field and shot into the stand.
• 2:32:21
  There aren't many empty places where that ball can land.
• 2:32:29
  Got his 0-2 to James.
• 2:32:40
  Stretched by Cumberland and the 0-2 pitch, low and inside for a ball, one and two.
• 2:32:52
  Giants play the Oakwood A's tomorrow at Mesa.
• 2:33:00
  One-two pitch, top foul out of play.
• 2:33:04
  Stays at a ball and two strikes.
• 2:33:09
  Herman Franks, ex-manager of the Giants in town, his vacation and watch baseball.
• 2:33:17
  Bob Hossam, the general manager of the Cincinnati Reds also here.
• 2:33:20
  John Holland, of course, for the Chicago Cubs.
• 2:33:27
  Pitch fouled away, out of play to the right.
• 2:33:34
  Herman now to travel has one of those big trucks with everything in it.
• 2:33:39
  He has everything but the Count Basie band.
• 2:33:43
  Actually does have a small combo for dancing late in the evening.
• 2:33:47
  That's really some traveling outfit that he has.
• 2:33:52
  Pitches up high for a ball.
• 2:33:56
  It's known as a recreational vehicle.
• 2:34:00
  You have to pull off the side of the road for that, don't you?
• 2:34:06
  Two and two count.
• 2:34:09
  Runner at first, take two pitch.
• 2:34:12
  Swung on one hopper to third base.
• 2:34:14
  Gallagher throws the second for one.
• 2:34:16
  Arnold's throw to first is low, but dug out by Goodson on a good backhand catch by Goodson of that ball in the dirt.
• 2:34:22
  And it's a double play.
• 2:34:25
  The Giants get the double play to erase two men.
• 2:34:34
  Paul Popovich, who is 0 for 2, Cumberland one out away from recording the Giants' first win of the season.
• 2:34:48
  Popovich batting right-handed against Cumberland.
• 2:34:50
  All of the switch batters, two down, bases empty.
• 2:34:54
  Cumberland's pitch to Popovich is low for a ball, 1-0.
• 2:35:09
  1-0 count.
• 2:35:12
  1-0 pitch. Popovich pops it up.
• 2:35:15
  Should be it as Goodson moves into foul territory.
• 2:35:18
  Waits, makes the catch, almost drops it, and that is the final out.
• 2:35:23
  So here in the ninth, no runs, no hits, no errors, no one left off.
• 2:35:30
  And the Giants win it by a score of 10-8.
• 2:35:39
  The final total, the Giants, 10 runs on 13 hits and one error.
• 2:35:50
  The Cubs, 8 runs on 14 hits and one error.
• 2:35:54
  The winning pitcher is Don Carrizas, who will be our post-game interview.
• 2:35:58
  And the losing pitcher is the starter, Ferguson Jenkins.
