  The Oakland A's faced the Cincinnati Reds at Riverfront Stadium for Game 6 of the 1972 World Series on October 21st.
• 0:16
  The A's led the best of seven series three games to two.
• 0:19
  And this is the NBC Radio broadcast of Game 6 featuring announcers Jim Simpson and Monty Moore.
• 0:25
  With yet to get a hit, nevertheless, there's one five-time to score three runs on the second base batting record.
• 0:31
  Bobby Coles, who has four RBI's in the last two games he's been with Big Man, is in center field.
• 0:38
  Johnny Bench, an age of including home run hitter and RBI man, has not had either in his World Series.
• 0:45
  He's had four since he's behind the plate.
• 0:48
  Tony Perez, again with no RBI's but a 444 average with a hit from both in his World Series past six.
• 0:57
  As F. Stephen Bando has not driven in runs for Oakland or the Cincinnati Reds, the number four five-time
• 1:04
  has mentioned to us also has driven in no runs.
• 1:07
  Kyle McWay, because of the left hander by the blue, will be out in right field with us.
• 1:11
  Tanner Planky, who has had a superb series of deals, is at third base.
• 1:16
  And he's been touchy on it.
• 1:18
  It's a shortstop today, right-handed all the way, a reason they're close because of my experience.
• 1:22
  And Gary Nolan, who is making still another start in the World Series, his fourth, he is going to,
• 1:29
  and he lost the first game of this 1972 World Series, it's a 50.
• 1:33
  We were 15 and five on the year.
• 1:35
  The color guard of the greens is just behind home plate.
• 1:38
  The University of Cincinnati band is ready to play as we rise the river from stadium
• 1:44
  to stadium, but I have to learn from them.
• 2:44
  Many a wave, by the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
• 3:06
  Bobby Overcast dances lame this afternoon, chances are he's in the 50s.
• 3:14
  The University of Cincinnati marching band is preparing to leave the field,
• 3:17
  and we'll continue with our pregame highlights right after this message.
• 3:21
  It snapped all the way back and cut off more of it.
• 3:25
  Now, of course, no one-blade rager made by anybody can save you like that.
• 3:31
  The track to you, direct net it one-blade better.
• 3:38
  We'll remind you again that here at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati,
• 3:41
  the field is almost completely carpeted.
• 3:43
  There's dirt only around home plate in the picture now, and first, second, and third.
• 3:47
  There is not what they call the skin of the infield, dirt running from first two thirds,
• 3:52
  just little patches of dirt.
• 3:53
  And the ball?
• 3:55
  Well, it really carries in Riverfront Stadium, and you will find that the infielders
• 3:58
  and Molly will be talking about that a lot in the early drawing play very deep,
• 4:02
  almost short right field, almost short left field.
• 4:05
  It's a different ballgame here at Riverfront Stadium.
• 4:08
  The umpire today, Bill Haller of the American League, will be behind the play.
• 4:11
  Chris Telekubis, who called balls and strikes in the first game of the series,
• 4:14
  has worked his way back to first base.
• 4:16
  Jim Honokic is the second base, Meryl Stanner is third.
• 4:19
  Down the left field line, American League umpire Frank Eamon and Bob Engel in the first world series,
• 4:24
  while balls and strikes yesterday will be down the right field line.
• 4:28
  Again, Gary Nolan, the right-hander to start, with Sparky Anderson,
• 4:31
  ready to go with nearly everybody necessary, as he proved yesterday by going with nearly everybody,
• 4:37
  starting with McLaughlin going to Bourbon, Tom Hall, Craig Carroll,
• 4:41
  Ralph Grimsley, and finally Jack Billingham.
• 4:45
  And today he'll do anything.
• 4:46
  Turn it around to the other side of the field, and in the other dugout, the open base,
• 4:50
  Dick Wooden's expected about 10-0 swim and talk the center down in the bullpen.
• 4:54
  Use rally fingers only if absolutely necessary.
• 4:57
  Things have been in the first half game, but Wooden and the A's would like to wind it up today.
• 5:03
  Nolan, during the regular season 15-5, started the first game of this series,
• 5:07
  but the Lusher giving up three runs, all of them scoring on the three long runs by Dean Hennett.
• 5:13
  In the playoffs, he started the third game of the playoffs,
• 5:16
  and gave up one run and picked in in six against Pittsburgh, and was not a picture-of- record there.
• 5:22
  Nolan opened the 1970 World Series, and home runs again were his problem.
• 5:27
  He surrendered them to Boog Pall, Ellie Hendricks, and Butch Robinson of Baltimore, and lost that one.
• 5:32
  So this is his fourth World Series strike, and he is going to.
• 5:36
  The Cincinnati Reds have not won a home game in the World Series in 32 years.
• 5:43
  They will try today. The Reds' first, Morgan's second, the 50-0 short,
• 5:47
  Mecchi is third, Rosen left, Nolan in center, McRae in right,
• 5:50
  Mecchi is second, Nolan is warming up,
• 5:52
  Morbid-Eras is preparing to step in, and we call 10 seconds for St. John the Agate of the Gates.
• 5:57
  It's 10 AM. This is KZW Park.
• 6:00
  And now with Bonnie Moore, this is Jim Simpson back at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati.
• 6:14
  This is game six for the World Series.
• 6:16
  Oakland can close it out today. They lead three games to two.
• 6:20
  Kapanera steps in, and here's the voice of the Oakland Athletics, Bonnie Moore.
• 6:24
  Thank you very much, Jim Simpson, and hi, what's it all, everybody.
• 6:27
  Matthew Kapanera, who has not had a good series with a bat, steps in.
• 6:32
  And he started off the series as if he were going to tear the Cincinnati Picking the Party
• 6:36
  at two hits off Nolan in the first game here in Cincinnati.
• 6:40
  He has only had one hit since that time, three hits and 20 at bats for the age-leadoff man.
• 6:45
  Valorant defense tightens up on the corner, the third and first,
• 6:48
  and here's the first pitch of the ball again.
• 6:50
  Kapanera swings and doesn't get a strike one.
• 6:53
  Aaron Nolan, a 15-game winner, he lost only five, and he's earned on average a super 1.99,
• 7:00
  which means he has allowed less than two runs every nine innings he's pitched this year.
• 7:04
  One strike puts the Kapanera to the curve ball, back down to the third base,
• 7:08
  and Minky backs up to take it, throws over the third for the up.
• 7:13
  Dennis Minky, the right-hander of picking, has been one of the young-time heroes for Cincinnati in this series.
• 7:18
  He has not mishandled the ball.
• 7:20
  He has just been outstanding, playing shallow against a lot of the age-ladders and having to choose some hard line drives.
• 7:26
  That time, Kapanera bounced one down off their artificial turf, which usually bounces over a man's head.
• 7:31
  Minky is a big guy, sixth one, and just back there, casually took it and threw him out.
• 7:36
  Get out, Matty Alou.
• 7:38
  Foul away, strike one. Matty has had only one hit in the World Series and 17 at bats.
• 7:44
  Here's the value of the 3.18 in the National League this year for the Stingler Cardinals,
• 7:48
  stated over to the Oakland A's, the last loss of the season, and he hit 2.81 for Oakland.
• 7:57
  No one's pitch on the way.
• 7:59
  Foul back here, it's by 2.
• 8:01
  Matty Alou, a little guy, left-handed batter.
• 8:10
  He became an outstanding percentage hitter when he quit trying to hit the ball out of the ballpark.
• 8:15
  He hits it to all fields now, Prince and Addie.
• 8:18
  Blaze M shaded over towards left.
• 8:21
  Gary Nolan, a strike towards the head of Alou at 0-2.
• 8:25
  Joe Rudy will back there for open here in the first inning.
• 8:29
  Nolan shakes off then, now comes to the break of the fast ball and it's bounced to the second baseman.
• 8:35
  Morgan backs up to take it, raised the first, he got him by a slide and there are two down.
• 8:40
  And the red-ticking staff contenders the battle, Matty Alou.
• 8:44
  Here is Joe Rudy.
• 8:46
  He was quite a hero in game number two last Sunday here in the ballpark.
• 8:51
  He landed a home run into the imagining section of the left field area
• 8:55
  and he took the ball off the wall in left field that probably saved the day.
• 9:00
  Joe Rudy, over 300 average for the A's through the season.
• 9:05
  He hit 19 home runs for Oakland, that's where he runs battered in.
• 9:10
  Right-handed batter, very strong hitter.
• 9:13
  Nolan, six-turn, a four-and-a-half into the air and a deep right field.
• 9:17
  Tony, our helmet player, is under the ball, he's got it, and he's three down.
• 9:22
  After the first half-in, the coach will never end his second inning coming to bat.
• 9:27
  Hi, this is Joe Garagio.
• 9:30
  Well, it's World Series time and even people who aren't real fans
• 9:34
  start taking an interest in baseball.
• 9:36
  And that's because you're seeing the best.
• 9:38
  And when you see the best of anything, you've got to admire it.
• 9:41
  Like the new Dodge Charger.
• 9:43
  For the last few years, people have looked at Charger for the newest,
• 9:47
  the latest in automobile styling.
• 9:49
  And once again, in 1973, Charger hasn't disappointed them.
• 9:54
  Charger has the clean, smooth lines that you've come to expect.
• 9:57
  But this year, Charger has more.
• 10:00
  Charger has an electronic ignition system for sure to start.
• 10:04
  Charger has Carson Quiet Ride to help keep out those annoying road noises.
• 10:09
  And Charger tops it all off by giving you a choice of three vinyl roof styles.
• 10:14
  That's right.
• 10:15
  There's a canopy vinyl roof, a halo vinyl roof,
• 10:18
  and a distinctive Charger SE vinyl roof.
• 10:21
  So if you want to see one of the best cars with plenty of family-size room,
• 10:25
  see Dodge Charger at your nearby Dodge dealer.
• 10:32
  Water blue.
• 10:33
  The video is one up from an ironing interface.
• 10:35
  Rose Morgan in tone.
• 10:37
  Rose will clean it off.
• 10:39
  He let off yesterday in the first pitch for a home run and one up on the day,
• 10:42
  three for five.
• 10:43
  This is all hard, all five times.
• 10:45
  And Groban, he's going to be the winning run again tonight.
• 10:48
  Here again is Morgan.
• 10:50
  Rose has been kept off the bases very well by the age-picking staff until yesterday.
• 10:54
  And as Jim said, he's changed that in a hurry on the very first pitch thrown by Patrick Hunter.
• 11:00
  He was batting left-handed that time.
• 11:02
  He has now turned around to bat right against Rhino Blue.
• 11:06
  He's not only 16 years old from this year,
• 11:08
  he was invaluable in the playoffs out of the bullpen.
• 11:11
  Here's his first pitch, and Rose looks at a curve as a hit in football one.
• 11:16
  Home plate umpire is American Lakers' Bill Howard,
• 11:20
  looking at first World Series game.
• 11:24
  Blue's one-all pitch.
• 11:25
  Fast strike, fifth call, one-on-one.
• 11:28
  Big rolls followed by Morgan in tone.
• 11:31
  Rose got out of a deep cross either side of the plate.
• 11:35
  In the high-bouncing ball of short, Campanier has to get off the herd again.
• 11:38
  And they go to third.
• 11:39
  Jim finally got him with a great throw from deep short drop.
• 11:43
  Any time that ball bounces twice on this serve,
• 11:45
  you think Rose has a chance to beat it.
• 11:47
  But Campanier has a gun for an arm and shot him down.
• 11:50
  There's one away.
• 11:54
  Here's little Joe Morgan,
• 11:56
  who though has not had a hit in this season,
• 11:58
  certainly was a big factor yesterday in 15-oddies.
• 12:02
  Victory because he walked twice and scored two runs.
• 12:06
  Morgan for the year, led the majors and walked, getting 115.
• 12:12
  Blue's sixth turn is high over all one.
• 12:17
  Morgan was a big little second baseman this year.
• 12:20
  At the plate, he was up 562 pounds officially.
• 12:25
  There's a drive through right center field.
• 12:28
  He's really sort of charging up and having a lead on the run.
• 12:30
  It's going to be off the fence.
• 12:32
  He's in the ball with Angel Mangual.
• 12:34
  Morgan is going to start the second with a double.
• 12:37
  Now he's on his way to third, and he's going to make it up away.
• 12:40
  He's going to drive better than he's ever picked before.
• 12:43
  He's too late.
• 12:46
  The relay throw from Angel Mangual in right center field, back to the infield.
• 12:51
  Got away from both the green and catcher camp in here.
• 12:55
  Now, the third baseman had to go recover to go and follow in Joe Morgan.
• 13:00
  He's leading the third.
• 13:02
  He's a little bit of an error on somebody.
• 13:09
  Goal away, gentlemen.
• 13:21
  Lighter blue ended up covering third, taking an underhanded toss from Kyle Handoff.
• 13:25
  As Morgan has gone back to second base.
• 13:28
  Well, the ball went away from green and catcher there.
• 13:31
  Here is on the center fielder, Angel Mangual, for the throw.
• 13:35
  It was just the end of the game today, replacing George Henry.
• 13:40
  Here's Lottie Solon.
• 13:43
  He has had some good base hits.
• 13:47
  The agent field playing fast.
• 13:49
  Here's lighter blue's blindness, the first swing, and I missed back one in blue.
• 13:53
  Threw that ball perfectly that time.
• 13:55
  A blazing fastball on the knee to the inside part of the plate.
• 14:02
  Solon has had five hits in the World Series, but he's knocked in four runs.
• 14:07
  All he has to do to knock in a run here is hit the ball on the ground to either short or second there, both going very deep.
• 14:17
  Lighter blue needs a strikeout.
• 14:20
  Morgan, now third.
• 14:22
  Here's the line and the pitch.
• 14:23
  Good ball.
• 14:24
  Bounce to the right, grab the infield, but it goes foul.
• 14:27
  No balls and two strikes.
• 14:29
  The second-first World Series base hit was a blast off the right center field wall.
• 14:38
  Certainly one of the Major League's most exciting players.
• 14:46
  Now two strikes on the batter, Kampi Kampanaris, who is short-stuck.
• 15:00
  Very, very fine play by Kampanaris.
• 15:06
  Solon will keep right on the fifth by a lighter blue fastball.
• 15:10
  In the air over Sal Benvall with fine foul and Kampanaris, even with a left-handed batter up and playing deep, managed to get over there with a great first of feet and backhand the ball right behind third.
• 15:22
  Now here's Johnny Vance.
• 15:26
  Vance in the series has five hits.
• 15:32
  Here's the fifth.
• 15:41
  Kampanaris, the Oakland shortstop, is playing a good 40 feet behind the baseline between second and third.
• 15:47
  And a very deep at third.
• 15:49
  The pitch to Vance.
• 15:50
  There's a drive deep left field.
• 15:51
  That ball is really hit.
• 15:52
  Really on the run.
• 15:53
  Going for it.
• 15:54
  Backhanded on the drive.
• 15:55
  Right at the wall in foul territory.
• 15:59
  Joel Rudy caught that ball. I believe he caught it in third round, but he went into the wall and is in foul territory down the left field line in the Red Sea Outdoor.
• 16:08
  One hit and one error and a man last after having a play.
• 16:11
  It is nothing and nothing.
• 16:15
  This is Milo Hamilton.
• 16:16
  I call the play-by-play for the Atlanta Braves and I do the radio commercials for Delta, the official A-line of the Braves.
• 16:23
  When I talk about Delta, well, I speak from experience.
• 16:26
  Last month I flew more than 16,000 miles on Delta.
• 16:29
  It was a rugged schedule, but the Delta people made it as smooth as anyone could ask for.
• 16:34
  Delta is an airline run by professionals.
• 16:36
  24,000 professionals.
• 16:38
  Each highly skilled individual knows his job and gives it his best.
• 16:42
  That goes for the reservationist who confirms your space by delta-matic computer in three seconds.
• 16:47
  Right onto the baggage handler who delivers your bags in an average time of seven minutes after you land.
• 16:53
  It's what Delta calls total service.
• 16:56
  I'd like to recommend Delta Airlines to you.
• 16:59
  And I have one other suggestion for people who travel, the American Express Money Card.
• 17:04
  You can even extend payment for your Delta tickets on the sign and fly plan.
• 17:08
  You're always ready to go with an American Express Money Card.
• 17:12
  And Delta is ready when you are.
• 17:15
  In central is Lonnie Moore. We go to the second. In the first, Nolan got him one, two, three.
• 17:23
  In the Cincinnati first, thanks to fine fielding plays by Kampenaris, two of them.
• 17:27
  And the running catch of the line drive off the bat of Johnny Bentsch, who pulled a wide of roof pitch down the left of your line, blew.
• 17:33
  And the A's got out of trouble. In trouble because Morgan Last to double off the wall and Wright.
• 17:37
  And once the third on Mandrell's throwing errors. So up to nothing, nothing ballgames.
• 17:40
  We go to the second. Here again is Mike.
• 17:43
  And the third is Ed Sheen. A swing up hitting first baseman.
• 17:47
  Minutes to play 12 times in the World Series without a base hit.
• 17:50
  He was Oakland's leading home run hitter for the year with 26.
• 17:53
  The pitch from Nolan is low. Ball one.
• 17:56
  Ed Sheen had 26 homers, 70 runs batted in, and a very good average for him, 270.
• 18:08
  Nolan's pitch on the way. Ed Sheen looks at a fast ball right down the middle.
• 18:12
  He doesn't throw all that many home runs, but the A's tagging for two in the first game he fits.
• 18:20
  Outstanding change that Nolan has. Here's the pitch.
• 18:23
  Curve and it's distributed. All come up to that game.
• 18:27
  Nolan spun that ball right over the top, and it was diving down through that strike zone.
• 18:32
  Ed Sheen finds himself behind out of all of the strikes.
• 18:39
  Reds defense deep and around to the right. Here's the pitch.
• 18:43
  It's low. Two balls, two strikes.
• 18:47
  The Reds have been generating excitement in the early innings in the last couple of three games.
• 18:52
  Though they haven't scored that much earlier, they have definitely had the chances.
• 18:57
  2-2 pitch, Ed Sheen, and he swings and misses.
• 19:02
  Warring Nolan. Right-back Ed Sheen, one out in a second, and here is Sal Gondor.
• 19:14
  Gondor, the ladies team captain, has 15 home runs for the season,
• 19:17
  knocking 77 runs to lead the A's in that department,
• 19:20
  but his batting average fell off to a majorly low for him of 236.
• 19:25
  Fast ball, cut ball.
• 19:27
  Gondor in the World Series has had four hits. He's been up 18 times.
• 19:36
  Nolan has short-winded the road, and misses low and away is the ball one-on-one,
• 19:40
  and here it turned and looked back at the mound this time,
• 19:42
  as if he were unhappy with his footing on that pitch.
• 19:46
  They are nothing-nothing, half-half of the second inning.
• 19:49
  Game number six of a great 1972 World Series curveball of Gondor.
• 19:54
  Here's a pass to him. Nolan is taking the plate on fire forever.
• 20:00
  He's all one-strikes.
• 20:11
  And they take low ball three.
• 20:13
  Angel Manzal is on deck.
• 20:16
  Ben Jean Connick behind him.
• 20:20
  The A's took his early north on that third base. Jerry Adair is first for Oakland.
• 20:26
  Gondor hits a line drive to a center field. He has a base hit.
• 20:29
  Nolan feels it on the first half, and with one on, the A's have their first base runner of the game.
• 20:35
  It comes here on the second with one out in here, then Jim Engle.
• 20:38
  He's struck the game-winning hit 94 last, and that's come from behind one for Oakland and Oakland.
• 20:47
  Angle was up yesterday as I think he had earlier the chance to do the same kind of thing.
• 20:52
  Hits the ball very sharply to the right side. It was fielded by Morgan, and they threw him out.
• 20:58
  The regular season, Angel played in only 91 games.
• 21:01
  At 2.46, he did have five home runs.
• 21:04
  Nolan's fifth. Right call.
• 21:09
  He's around the plate all the time.
• 21:16
  See some clear blue skies ahead.
• 21:19
  New today, it's been kind of overcast and rainy.
• 21:23
  Curve ball hanging high and inside, an anglous one-and-one.
• 21:37
  Pictures on the fingers were all serious.
• 21:47
  Jim Nolan's overheaded curve ball looked a lot sharper early in the game than it did here on Saturday.
• 21:54
  Dragon on in with one out again, but he did have that field of problems.
• 21:58
  Worked out a little bit yesterday in the middle of the evening.
• 22:00
  He said today he showed his one-up only ten minutes before by the blue, but apparently he's already.
• 22:05
  He had to find out if he could go today.
• 22:07
  Here's a one-and-two pitch to Mangrola curve ball hitting the ground with a third base and Minsky takes it.
• 22:11
  He's going to have only one play, and that's the first, and he doesn't hit him.
• 22:14
  Now he called him out.
• 22:17
  Chris Pellicutt is calling safe at first.
• 22:21
  It looked like him, then he called him out.
• 22:28
  Not only did it look like him, Marty, that's exactly what he did.
• 22:31
  He called him safe and then called him out.
• 22:36
  Apparently pointing at the side, strings of Mangrola tailed the top of the bag.
• 22:42
  Wow, that could be the only thing, and it might turn out to be a huge play.
• 22:49
  Now, runner at second base, Vando, and here's Gene Tennis.
• 22:53
  He's at four home runs in the series. Curved turn is high for ball one.
• 23:01
  Mangrola is putting the A's lineup today to try to get a little more batting points.
• 23:05
  George Hendricks, the rookie who had been starting, had not hit the ball at all.
• 23:08
  Here's a wild pitch.
• 23:09
  Five wide balls. Tennis got under that one, and it's a mile high out in the left field.
• 23:14
  One seven-seat rose. He's got it.
• 23:16
  A really good play here in the second inning.
• 23:20
  He's hitting it in half, for sure. Hope for nothing to focus on about it.
• 23:25
  Hi, Johnny Bench for Anco Windshield wipers.
• 23:28
  Can you imagine the reaction if a manager told their team that he was supplying them with baseball bats that weren't absolutely the best?
• 23:34
  Well, your team, that is your family, deserves the best, too.
• 23:38
  Anco Windshield wiper blades.
• 23:40
  If your present wipers are streaking, replace them with Anco wipers.
• 23:43
  Look for the service station with the bright yellow Anco cabinets.
• 23:47
  They can snap on new blades while you're gassing up.
• 23:49
  Tell them you heard about Anco from Johnny Bench.
• 23:52
  This year, almost all the new cars are the same.
• 23:55
  Most of the 1973 models are designed to run on low octane gasoline, like Golf Team.
• 24:02
  The owners manual says so.
• 24:04
  Check the recommendation in your owners manual and try a tank full of Golf Team.
• 24:09
  It has a performance out of the package you'd expect from Golf, and it costs even less than Golf Regular.
• 24:15
  So why pay more than you have to?
• 24:17
  Try Golf Team, a low-cost gasoline for new cars.
• 24:22
  The lights have been on here at Riverton Stream since now before the game, but even though showers are forecast, we have some this morning, the sun has come out.
• 24:48
  It's with again the Cincinnati Sun.
• 24:52
  Johnny Perez who's had a hot guy in the World Series with eight haytacks in these wild years and a number of hits.
• 24:58
  Facing vital blue in the first pitch of the curve high, ball one.
• 25:02
  Very unusual happening, a runner missing first base.
• 25:07
  Mind you, the broad jumper missing the takeoff board and just didn't have a chance.
• 25:12
  Here's the one and all, the Perez, and a fastball miss is it's 2-0.
• 25:17
  Perez, one of the real good RBI men in the National League.
• 25:21
  Six years old, 90 RBI's are better for Cincinnati.
• 25:26
  Here's a high foul pop out of play.
• 25:31
  Vita Blue has not overpowered any of these Cincinnati batters as yet.
• 25:37
  Second time around in a World Series for players to see the O's and pitchers.
• 25:41
  You're going to see more offense.
• 25:45
  We'll talk a little bit more about how the pitcher's going to throw through them, how the breaking ball breaks.
• 25:49
  Here's a fastball takeoff.
• 25:52
  Here's a 2-1 pitcher, full curve, hit up into the air and to right field, not deep.
• 25:55
  On comes Matty Allure of the A's and he's got it.
• 25:59
  And Perez had retired for the first time in this second inning.
• 26:03
  Here's Hal McCrae.
• 26:07
  McCrae has got six times in the series. He's had three hits, two of them pinched.
• 26:13
  McCrae openly admits that he is a fly-sher for play.
• 26:16
  He said, I come out swinging. I may fall flat on my face, but I'm going to go down swinging if I go down.
• 26:22
  Get 278 this year and off-roads for the Reds.
• 26:26
  Fitzgerald is high on inside ball on him.
• 26:28
  Vita's not getting that real good fastball over the inside part of the plate.
• 26:32
  Usually an out-fist for him against right-handed batters.
• 26:39
  Here's a back one, one on a miss, and it's 1-1.
• 26:51
  And it comes to the plate with an off-feed that misses outside, 2-1.
• 26:57
  Each club has one Vita Morgan, a one-out double.
• 27:01
  He went over the third on the play on a throw near by Mandele.
• 27:05
  The Blues got Toleman and Vint.
• 27:09
  He went for McCrae. He's right down on his knees, pointing at that one.
• 27:13
  He's all too fresh.
• 27:16
  He does get his catch, doesn't he?
• 27:22
  Blue, take that white shoe in the air and throw it. McCrae hits it in the air, it's in the field.
• 27:26
  Angel Ann Brawler, fast-fist in front of the warning track, locks the room and he makes the catch.
• 27:35
  Mary Barrow Clenky.
• 27:37
  Clenky hit a home run yesterday.
• 27:40
  The Reds were behind 3-1, he made it 3-2.
• 27:47
  He'll have two hits in the World Series this year and he has got 15 times.
• 27:55
  The Reds are in the lead.
• 27:57
  Mary Barrow is the fifth.
• 27:59
  I found Wall off first near the stands and here in Cincinnati the stands are much closer to the field than in Oakland and that one goes over into the seat.
• 28:08
  Let's get out on the second inning.
• 28:10
  Oakland and Cincinnati, nothing and nothing.
• 28:13
  The A's win it, it's all over for 1972 and they'll carry a World Championship trophy back to the Bay Area.
• 28:20
  The Reds win it.
• 28:22
  The Bits of Unki high, a ball one and one.
• 28:31
  Reds entered this World Series highly favored, they won it all.
• 28:36
  Here's a drive towards left center field, man's well on his bicycle, down to his right, he reaches up and picks it off and it's 3-3 down here in the second.
• 28:43
  And the score at the two innings of play, the Riverfront Stadium is Cincinnati and Oakland, nothing, nothing.
• 28:49
  For quite a while now these World Series broadcasts have been brought to you in part by White Guard anti-perch blitz.
• 28:55
  The one that really helps keep you dry when the action's hot.
• 28:58
  Now this year White Guard has created a brand new anti-perch blitz, White Guard Natural Gnist.
• 29:04
  Except it's name is great weapon spider, it's regular White Guard.
• 29:07
  And it's got a great new scent made from natural ingredients so it smells light and clean, not heavy or artificial like a lot of other anti-perch blitz.
• 29:15
  You White Guard natural scent anti-perch blitz, you like the way it works, as it is actually the way it smells.
• 29:23
  The smoothest edge we can put on a blade, for the smoothest shave we can put on your face, a platinum-gruss blade. And some days Gillette will make even a better blade for your cup. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
• 29:46
  We made the first blade, and we're still the first blade, Gillette. Platinum-gruss.
• 29:55
  Ladies and gentlemen, we're with Marnie Moore, we're watching Dick Williams, the manager who has come out, to talk to Bill Haller, the home plate umpire, and the third state umpire, Mel Ciner.
• 30:05
  The first one is from the American League, the other from the National, and I have no idea what it is the ladies were talking about. The get back of the
• 30:32
  green, the batter, Marnie Moore being up. Green has had four very picked in this series, he's about 12 pounds, the fifth one I'll hit deep short. Over for the Wild Contest, he throws the first, and green is an easy eye.
• 30:46
  And now let's hear then, the Wiches hit, the conversation between Dick Williams and the third state umpire, Wiches home plate umpire, talking to Bill about the picture blowing on his hand as you know during the regular season in order for them to put their hand up to their mouth to blow on it or touch the fingers with their tongue.
• 31:04
  They have to step off the dirt part of the pitching mat, but during this cooler weather, out in Oakland and here again today, apparently they've given permission for a picture to do that while on the mat.
• 31:14
  The batter lose, takes the call strike.
• 31:23
  Larry Mullen, throws a curve and hits the inside corner quite easily.
• 31:37
  Mullen, a native Californian, now makes his home here in Cincinnati.
• 31:45
  The third ball is set free.
• 31:49
  Mullen has gone through the eighth batting order, the first time around without being screwed on this time. He starts all over with Burt Cavanaugh.
• 31:58
  He had only one base hit, he really had two. That man's ball was a shift from a bag at first as he was running. He had beaten out a deep rounder to the left side of the infield.
• 32:08
  This fellow too has a calling face until he's thrown missed the ball. Mullen there, a shift went off the leg and a picture Mullen knocked it down under him to ball a first to the outside.
• 32:17
  Good break for Gary Mullen there, but that ball did hit him.
• 32:21
  No way until 1-2-3 and the third inning of the kill, Cincinnati and Oakland, nothing to nothing.
• 32:26
  Hi, this is Joe Garaglio.
• 32:28
  With World Series time here, managers depend on players to deliver dependable performances.
• 32:33
  And like a manager, you want dependable performance from your car.
• 32:37
  So look at the Big Dodge. It's got dependable features such as electronic ignition for more starting voltage.
• 32:44
  And there's an electronic voltage regulator for longer battery life.
• 32:48
  Plus, first-person quiet ride for smoothness and quiet.
• 32:51
  But these features won't cost you. They're standard on all Big Dodge models this year.
• 32:56
  See the Big Dodge soon at your Dodge dealer.
• 32:59
  Extra care in engineering makes a difference.
• 33:02
  Please type the corporation card.
• 33:04
  It makes a difference. Dodge, Chrysler, and Plymouth. Discover the difference. Drive one.
• 33:31
  Here's our 30-second for station identification.
• 33:35
  It's Sam Jellegate from KGW Portland.
• 33:38
  You don't have to give up good taste to save on calories. Dodge, Chrysler, and Plymouth taste so good, everybody likes it.
• 34:04
  Everybody likes it.
• 34:09
  That's all now. The last half of the third inning, Dave Concepcion.
• 34:13
  The red shortstop at the plate and he has a count of one strike.
• 34:16
  His final blue throws the curve for Stuck 2.
• 34:19
  Concepcion has to play it outside of the baseball.
• 34:22
  He thinks it might be a little too good color, do you?
• 34:26
  One challenge broken through in Cincinnati.
• 34:31
  Nothing or nothing.
• 34:33
  Concepcion will be followed by Nolan and Rose here in the last half of the third inning.
• 34:39
  Try to breathe for the look and move.
• 34:42
  It's the windup. Here's his O.C. pitch.
• 34:44
  And he lets himself be stung with a blue blazer.
• 34:47
  A fastball. Concepcion stands at the plate to question the curve.
• 34:51
  But that ball is long gone. Over the steering, around the horn, it goes.
• 34:55
  Here's his first crack out of the day.
• 34:57
  And that's the first one, Jim, that looks like he's really put the mustard on.
• 35:02
  Here's steering home on the pitcher.
• 35:04
  Right-handed short or right-handed batter.
• 35:17
  By this first pitch, John is low for ball one.
• 35:27
  Nolan's done it twice the first game without a hit.
• 35:31
  Two now, Mickey. It's a 2-0.
• 35:39
  One out third inning, no score.
• 35:47
  Two and one pitch to Nolan. He'll be taking years and it's costing him his strength, two and one.
• 35:53
  Third base coach Alex Grumman for Cincinnati.
• 35:58
  Good shooter at first.
• 36:01
  Two and one pitch. Here's a dry foul.
• 36:03
  Nolan hitting a little late at a blue fastball.
• 36:18
  Nolan was scheduled to strike yesterday's game.
• 36:21
  Now he has been able to throw well the night before in his warmup, but he did not.
• 36:26
  Two-two pitch.
• 36:28
  That's Nick's kind of started to throw that ball the 30th time they had him, and now blue comes up with a big pitch.
• 36:34
  He needs a strike here to Gary Nolan.
• 36:37
  Down comes the arm and a pitch out of the way.
• 36:39
  Swinging strike three, and he really hung that one.
• 36:43
  By the blue, looking now as if he's getting a little loose.
• 36:46
  But he's throwing that ball by the eight to nine hitters in the lineup.
• 36:50
  Now he has to go to work against the top. Here's Deetrose, the left fielder.
• 36:59
  Reds have one hit. A double off the wall and right center by Joe Morgan.
• 37:04
  The A's have one hit, a single by Sal Vando.
• 37:09
  Here's blue, six to Deetrose.
• 37:12
  And he's almost hit with a breaking ball and gets out of the way.
• 37:16
  Yelling a little bit, but he realized there's some bad blood between rows and Sal Vando's players.
• 37:24
  Blue misses low with a curve at two and all.
• 37:28
  A pitch that goes to the batter, and they can do it with a breaking ball.
• 37:34
  Rose, looking him over, is pounding stuff on front of blue now at two and all.
• 37:40
  Ball three.
• 37:46
  Blue ordinary, a pretty good control pitch it.
• 37:50
  For the three-game, he walked only 48 while striking out 111.
• 37:54
  He's got to throw some strikes in a row to Rose.
• 37:57
  Ball four, he lost him.
• 38:01
  Now it's Deet the Reds running game turns on here.
• 38:05
  Let's look at that from Gene Tennant. The A's catcher has taken a lot of abuse from the Reds runners in this series.
• 38:12
  It has not all been Gene Tennant, however. The A's pitchers have not done a very good job of holding the runners on at first base.
• 38:22
  Rose too out of walks to beat Rose, and with too out of walks yesterday to Joe Morgan.
• 38:27
  Started a Cincinnati rally. Rose jumped off first, blue looked at him.
• 38:31
  Here's the pitch to the plate, taking a cold strike. Morgan was trying to help Rose out if he wanted to go.
• 38:36
  Right ahead, a very quick release at time, after he dropped down to the set position.
• 38:51
  Rose sold 10 bases for the season, and he's still in one of the series.
• 38:55
  There he goes, a pitch to the pitch out. Tennant throws a second right on target, and Rose is out a mile.
• 39:01
  Gene Tennant called a pitch out, and they got Deet Rose down at second. It really wasn't very close.
• 39:06
  So that's a three inning display. The score, Cincinnati and open, nothing and nothing.
• 39:12
  Oh, gentlemen, open, more than anything, too many. More than ten riding snow caps, more than just enough.
• 39:27
  Oh, gentlemen, open, a tiparillo to a lady, all the way to pizza, from the blue color.
• 39:42
  Tiparillo, regular, Minnesota, dramatic.
• 39:46
  At Rhodes, we have got a lot to say, and we care about the people who shout, dear, who give you good reason to stop here.
• 40:00
  Just think of Rhodes as your door.
• 40:03
  The automatic answering service records incoming messages.
• 40:19
  Well, several things happened in that last inning, Ronnie, in that blue deadlock loser striking our conception of Nolan as you pointed out the eight, nine batters.
• 40:33
  But when he lost Deet Rose, he lost them on four pitches that were all low in the strike zone as opposed to high where he had been when Perez, McRae, Vance, and Manke were all getting the good shots at him.
• 40:40
  And then again, Dean Kenneth, who has not been the defensive catcher in this series that Johnny Vance he has all year long, finally had a chance to throw out the running people in this field.
• 40:50
  Now we go to the fourth. It will be a really, really good uptick. Here is Monty Moore.
• 40:54
  One of the secrets about throwing a man out with a pitch out is to take a time, and Kenneth definitely did that.
• 40:59
  He missed throwing Rose out one time earlier in this series.
• 41:02
  Rose was going just because he heard his throw and threw it high and out in the center field. He had been one right on the button.
• 41:10
  Here is Mattie Allee, the leadoff.
• 41:12
  There you know when pitch to Mattie is inside for a ball one and oh.
• 41:16
  These men are playing for a lot of money.
• 41:18
  Some of the players have figured it out on the basis of the money taken in on four straight fellouts to four games the players share in.
• 41:25
  The winners may get over $20,000.
• 41:29
  Now ball back to the frame one and one.
• 41:32
  The last three years the winners of the World Series have gotten over $18,000 a man.
• 41:39
  A dramatic jump after 1969 when the winners got $13,000, but it went up very high after that.
• 41:49
  This World Series ever the winners got $1,100 a man. During the war years they sometimes got as low as $400 a man for losing in a World Series.
• 42:00
  Allee popped one up right out into very short right field. On comes McCray.
• 42:05
  He has it.
• 42:07
  Went out on the fourth inning.
• 42:12
  Gary Nolan, picking a strong game here this afternoon. Not overpowering, but he's getting his curve ball over.
• 42:18
  Here's Joe Rudy.
• 42:24
  Joe had a fine ball in a fairly deep right field far out on the first inning.
• 42:35
  Rudy takes his time more than any other player in the series getting into the batter's box.
• 42:40
  He's stuck now in a fist drum with a curve a little high.
• 42:47
  Reds give Rudy about 90 feet of the left field foul line.
• 42:51
  Near left field there Rose plays on a line from first three seconds right on out into the outfield.
• 42:58
  Definitely don't expect him to pull the ball.
• 43:01
  There's a high fly ball into left field. Rose has to go over to his right.
• 43:05
  He has plenty of time to get under that one.
• 43:07
  He's got it.
• 43:08
  UCNHRQ to hit on that high. He is just missed hitting the whole run by a fraction of an inch on the baseball.
• 43:16
  He's just got under that one a little bit.
• 43:19
  Another two-ball on a near-black etching.
• 43:24
  Cincinnati and Oakland nothing and nothing.
• 43:28
  1972 World Series from Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati.
• 43:32
  We're happy you're with us here on NBC and around the world.
• 43:36
  Wherever you might be following America's national fast time.
• 43:40
  This thing goes for a half-racking ball and fouls it off.
• 43:53
  Oakland has had only one base runner.
• 43:56
  Cincinnati has had only two.
• 44:04
  One strike down.
• 44:06
  Nolan's six.
• 44:12
  That play is really off balance against this right-hander.
• 44:18
  One later on Nolan's fastball.
• 44:22
  And Gary's well ahead of him in O-2.
• 44:31
  He's got a nice, easy way to run here.
• 44:36
  Just that flat of all, one and two.
• 44:41
  A gigantic crowd to welcome the Reds home last night at the airport.
• 44:46
  That's going both down three and strike three at the change-up.
• 44:50
  It's just up and up over there and he has struck out the eighth team up here twice in a row.
• 44:54
  In the middle of the fourth game, the scores.
• 44:56
  Oakland nothing, Cincinnati nothing.
• 44:59
  This is Johnny Brant speaking for ANCO Windshield wipers.
• 45:02
  Back before I was playing for the Reds, I always thought the right fielder had the best position on the team.
• 45:07
  All he does is stand there waiting for an occasional high fly.
• 45:11
  But you know right field can be like the windshield wipers on your car.
• 45:14
  They don't do anything either until some rain comes their way.
• 45:18
  But boy do they have to hustle in.
• 45:20
  In a rain storm or a snow storm, clean wiping ANCO Windshield wipers or snow blades can save your life.
• 45:27
  And then wipers like ball players eventually get old.
• 45:30
  Over a period of time, the sun, wind, and air pollution gets to them and rubber gradually deteriorates.
• 45:36
  And they really get aches and pains.
• 45:38
  If your wipers are over six months old, man they could be over the hill and going into a permanent swamp.
• 45:44
  So the thing to do is bench them.
• 45:46
  Drive into any service station where you see the bright yellow ANCO service cabinet
• 45:50
  and tell the man you want a fresh new pair of ANCO Windshield wipers.
• 45:54
  That's ANCO by Anderson.
• 45:56
  Definitely major league.
• 46:27
  Rise to run.
• 46:29
  And he missed it, strike one.
• 46:31
  That was a breaking ball and up high.
• 46:33
  Morgan ran up on the ball as if he wanted to run it.
• 46:35
  I think he saw that it was coming too high to get down.
• 46:38
  He tried to draw the bat back but he'd gone too far.
• 46:47
  Door board urging the Cincinnati fans on here.
• 46:50
  Third ball to Morgan, misses inside.
• 46:53
  It's one and one.
• 47:00
  They have struck out two and walked one.
• 47:02
  Reds and Pedro for a bone to work out on their goal fans.
• 47:06
  Blue six, breaking ball again.
• 47:09
  It is now two and one to Morgan.
• 47:11
  He really looks them over.
• 47:13
  He worked Raleigh fingers for a big walk.
• 47:16
  In the game yesterday, Leite turned it into a big run.
• 47:21
  He wants it.
• 47:23
  Now lost, back two.
• 47:25
  To walk him, it's almost like having him hit a double.
• 47:29
  Psychologically, it's probably worse on a team to walk him
• 47:32
  and see him steal seconds and see him hit a double.
• 47:36
  Any about him, I would imagine one reason he gets so many walks
• 47:39
  is not because he's so small and lifts them over.
• 47:41
  The pitchers have to work carefully to him.
• 47:43
  He can also hit the long ball.
• 47:45
  He has 16 home runs for Cincinnati this year.
• 47:48
  Spider winds, kicks and throws.
• 47:52
  High fly ball behind the plate.
• 47:54
  Dean Hinnis throws the last away right out inside the open.
• 47:57
  Dugout, he slips it away.
• 47:59
  And Morgan is the first out of the fourth inning.
• 48:01
  You know, Jim, it's pretty great to see what a world's dream
• 48:04
  does for a city.
• 48:05
  Here in Cincinnati, they had almost 15,000 fans at the
• 48:08
  airport last night.
• 48:09
  When the A's returned home from their first two games of the
• 48:12
  series, they had a crowd about that same size at the open
• 48:15
  day of court.
• 48:16
  And, mommy, really, I can't remember.
• 48:18
  And I talked to folks over the line.
• 48:21
  A greater two weeks of baseball, and they've urgently
• 48:24
  finished the playoffs in both weeks and now the four-off series.
• 48:28
  Just then, baseball's final year.
• 48:30
  There is Tolan taking a breaking ball strike at the A's.
• 48:34
  Both the Reds and the A's had to go five hectic games to win
• 48:38
  their division playoffs, baseball's first ever five-game
• 48:42
  playoff series.
• 48:43
  Tolan ran up on a fastball and left it in the catcher's
• 48:46
  mid-first strike at Tolan 2.
• 48:50
  Vita Blue and Gary Nolan were the same result, picking
• 48:52
  different kinds of ballgames here today.
• 48:54
  Vita overpowering pitcher Nolan off-speed specialist.
• 48:58
  O2 to Tolan, he's stuck him out.
• 49:00
  Nolan had about a half-cut at that pitch, and now he's asking
• 49:03
  to play it on fire where it was.
• 49:05
  So Vita Blue now is stuck out three and again.
• 49:11
  Here's Johnny Bench who ripped one towards the foul line
• 49:14
  and left in the first game with Morgan at third and two down,
• 49:18
  and Joe Rudy who's been an outstanding outfielder all
• 49:20
  year for Oakland ran it down back into the ball just as he
• 49:23
  crossed the foul line and banged into the fence.
• 49:28
  Here's the pitch.
• 49:29
  Bench swings and misses.
• 49:31
  What a cut he had.
• 49:33
  Johnny hit a home run off Vita Blue in the All-Star game
• 49:37
  in Detroit two summers ago.
• 49:45
  He hit a lot of them this year.
• 49:47
  Odie against Mass in late pitchers.
• 49:50
  Knocked in 125 runs.
• 49:53
  Changeup, misses low of all one-on-one.
• 49:57
  Bench in this series had a five-base hit, only one of them
• 50:00
  an extra-base job.
• 50:02
  Double off the right field wall here in Cincinnati.
• 50:08
  Here's a one-on-one pitch.
• 50:10
  Fastball on inside, two and one.
• 50:14
  That's the pitch that Vita is not really getting over
• 50:16
  effectively here today.
• 50:19
  Way more ball is throwing, Gary Nolan.
• 50:21
  May have thrown them as I was fighting them.
• 50:24
  He's working hard on the bullpen.
• 50:26
  Two on the bench.
• 50:28
  Ball three it is now.
• 50:30
  A shot of shooting at one spot.
• 50:32
  Looks like low inside, but knee-high and he's missing it.
• 50:38
  Now he has a big pitch to make to Bench.
• 50:40
  He'll be looking for one.
• 50:42
  He can spend four runs.
• 50:45
  Here it comes.
• 50:46
  By drive, deep left field.
• 50:48
  He just hit it out of here and it is one-gone.
• 50:51
  That's game ten advanced.
• 51:21
  Johnny Vance sends 50,000 plus fans into ecstasy here in Cincinnati.
• 51:32
  The pitch at Juarez, a passing ball toward third.
• 51:35
  Rando charges it. There's a throw to first.
• 51:37
  He got him and the ribs are out.
• 51:39
  Here on the fourth but not before Johnny Vance.
• 51:42
  Put him on top with a line drive homer into the left field fans.
• 51:45
  A score after four.
• 51:47
  One that happens in Cincinnati.
• 51:49
  Mike Moyer, wet head.
• 51:51
  Mike Moyer, a dry look.
• 51:54
  Roy Zucca, wet head.
• 51:57
  Roy Zucca, a dry look.
• 52:00
  With the dry look aerosol hair control, you look so much better you won't believe your ears.
• 52:07
  A wet head is dead and the dry look comes direct from this.
• 52:11
  More men use it than any other aerosol.
• 52:13
  Charlie Niesma, the dry look.
• 52:16
  A dry look from Gillette.
• 52:20
  When you heard about that Gillette Track 2, a two-bladed razor,
• 52:24
  you probably said, why should I sell out money for another razor?
• 52:28
  That's a good question.
• 52:30
  Here's a good reason.
• 52:32
  Because that Track 2 will give you a combination of closeness and safety
• 52:37
  that you just cannot get with a one-blade razor,
• 52:41
  no matter how many you have in your medicine chest.
• 52:44
  That's why the Track 2 razor, Gillette made it one blade better.
• 52:50
  Good morning, Roy.
• 52:54
  Jim Simpson back in an extended river from Chidamon, Cincinnati
• 52:57
  where Johnny Bench's two-out, three-one-pitch home run,
• 53:00
  his first home run in RBI of the series,
• 53:04
  as put the Reds out on Huffball, the score of one-and-a-thousand.
• 53:07
  Nolan has taken them out.
• 53:09
  But remember, as Nolan went back into the dugout after pitching the fourth inning to the A's,
• 53:13
  immediately Pedro Bovon began to warm up in the bullfist.
• 53:17
  It'll be Bando, Mangrel, and Emmett in this one-nugging ballgame,
• 53:21
  and that should be no surprise, Monty, as you pointed out, all five of these World Series games.
• 53:25
  For the first time in history, all of the first five have been decided by one run,
• 53:29
  and that's the score now.
• 53:31
  Cincinnati won, both for nothing, as Bill Hollett delved off the plate,
• 53:35
  Bando's in and waiting, and Bench is ready to give the signal.
• 53:38
  Monty?
• 53:39
  He's still ahead, the A's are only base hit of the game, a single in the second inning.
• 53:45
  Nolan winds and here's his hit.
• 53:47
  Bando hits a liner out over short, he has his second base hit of the game.
• 53:51
  Val Bando is on the start, the fifth inning for the Oakland A's.
• 53:55
  Jim Simpson, if Bovon does not set a World Series record for a fancy,
• 53:59
  he's hopefully going to set a World Series record for a warm-up.
• 54:02
  He's been up in every game out there.
• 54:04
  Had several runs at every game.
• 54:05
  Absolutely.
• 54:06
  Everything he has is rubber arm and likes to pitch all the time.
• 54:09
  He just continues to throw out there whether the pitcher's in trouble or not.
• 54:13
  Here's Angel Menguel, who had a very unusual thing happen to him.
• 54:17
  He had a base hit on a grounder his last time up, but he missed first base.
• 54:22
  That was called out.
• 54:24
  One nothing, Cincinnati.
• 54:27
  Here's the pitch.
• 54:28
  Curved ball, Menguel bangs it by third on the long side.
• 54:31
  It's a foul-trick one.
• 54:33
  Menti, not guarding the line on Menguel, hits over to the short side,
• 54:37
  steps beyond and just raises his hand.
• 54:39
  Is it the fake? Should I or should I not be over there?
• 54:44
  Yopfield plays Menguel, he hits the ball to right center field.
• 54:48
  Now left-hander, Grimpley is up throwing for Cincinnati.
• 54:52
  Now as he watched yesterday, they'll have everybody near both ends up.
• 54:55
  This is youthful work day.
• 54:58
  At least not in trouble by Nolan, and he'll be out of there.
• 55:01
  One strike pitch, Menguel fouls it off at second.
• 55:08
  I don't know exactly where the pitch was, bench hit.
• 55:11
  Three and one count.
• 55:13
  I'll tell you this, he definitely put it in the left field's fans in a hurry.
• 55:17
  A line drive went out of here as if it were shot by a bazooka.
• 55:23
  From here it looks as if it might have been low L.A., but not low enough, apparently,
• 55:30
  before he went away.
• 55:33
  One-seat count from Menguel.
• 55:35
  Third ball hit high in the air, the deep left field, back to a seat row.
• 55:39
  He's on a warning tag, turning around, he's got it!
• 55:49
  Angel man, Guarnier, just missed hitting one out of here.
• 55:53
  And Clark G. Anderson has got his way to the mound before that ball was caught.
• 56:00
  Here we know, a hung up curve ball on a two-strike captain Menguel,
• 56:04
  and he shoots seat rows to the wall.
• 56:06
  Pete leaps in the air, so he caught the ball before he hit the fence.
• 56:11
  He held onto it, and Bando, who was all the way to second, goes back to first.
• 56:18
  Really wasn't that tough a catch for Rose, he didn't have to jump at all, but he did.
• 56:26
  And he held onto the ball.
• 56:37
  Had to look good on the television screen anyway.
• 56:41
  And Menguel just missed it.
• 56:43
  Now here's Gene Kinnick.
• 56:46
  Nolan pitches.
• 56:48
  Dennis Rams one foul by third, and the A's are starting to get some cuts in Nolan now.
• 56:57
  It's one nothing, two thirties.
• 57:04
  Bob Locker is up in the Oakland bullpen.
• 57:07
  They might pinch hit for Vyner Blue if the A's get anything going here.
• 57:12
  Gene is on deck, and it's a possibility they could pinch hit for him.
• 57:16
  John Marquez is already selecting a bat.
• 57:19
  The fix for Dennis, low and away, a ball one-on-one.
• 57:22
  You know the Nolan look now is a little different on Gene Kinnick than it was on the first day of the season.
• 57:29
  Now the World Series season that is, because Kinnick, a relatively unknown to the Reds, gets you home run.
• 57:37
  There's a foul ball back this way.
• 57:41
  We got a World Series souvenir right here in the booth.
• 57:48
  A National League ball here in Cincinnati.
• 57:53
  You're home season out in Oakland, we're out getting a foul ball in the booth.
• 57:57
  It's so high, and it takes a major pop-up to get up here.
• 58:03
  One ball, two strikes on Gene Kinnick.
• 58:08
  And the first base for Bich.
• 58:11
  In the dirt, a great block by Johnny Bich.
• 58:14
  Oh, what a catcher he is to watch.
• 58:16
  That was a curve in the dirt with top spin on it.
• 58:19
  And out in front of the plate about four or five feet, which is the toughest kind a catcher has to handle.
• 58:24
  You don't catch those by putting your hand across your body and backhanding it.
• 58:28
  You move over to the right and block it, and Bich did just that.
• 58:32
  He now brings out the two and two on Gino.
• 58:39
  No one's set, here's the pitch.
• 58:41
  That ball here from the air, deep center field, way back in Goat Hill,
• 58:44
  and he may have room, he's on the warning track, he picks it up.
• 58:49
  And those who are back here first.
• 58:52
  I don't mind telling you, the A's have hit a couple of ropes here in this inning.
• 58:59
  Now here's Zick Green coming to bat.
• 59:09
  One to nothing, Gene Cincinnati, and Nolan has got to thank his lucky star to throw two balls or at somebody.
• 59:19
  It's 404 feet to the center field wall here in Riverfront Stadium,
• 59:22
  and Gene Tennis made Nolan use up, or told him to use up most of the rest.
• 59:29
  Bich to Green is an overhand to serve and he misses.
• 59:32
  Green means black one.
• 59:43
  No loss of stretch.
• 59:44
  The pitch, Green takes a curve in the dirt.
• 59:46
  Bich takes it again on the first half.
• 59:52
  Now Bando the A's open the inning with a line single to center.
• 59:56
  Angel Manswell, hit a ball to the wall in left field.
• 1:00:00
  Gene Tennis hit one to the deepest part of the outfield straightaway center,
• 1:00:04
  and Nolan made the catch on the warning track.
• 1:00:07
  Now here's Zick Green, who's had four hits in this World Series.
• 1:00:13
  One to one, the pitch. Drive right center field,
• 1:00:16
  Poland got to go for him to get this one.
• 1:00:18
  He won it, but he hit the wall a little hot.
• 1:00:20
  Here's Bando running third.
• 1:00:22
  He's calling home.
• 1:00:24
  The throw to the plate will not be made.
• 1:00:26
  The A's have tied the ball again.
• 1:00:34
  Boy, if you could ever see a roof caving in, it was right here in this inning.
• 1:00:37
  The A's have strung together four blasts in a row off Gary Nolan.
• 1:00:47
  You know, Jim Simpson, for a guy who hasn't batted very much this year,
• 1:00:50
  Zick Green has hit the ball well in this series.
• 1:00:53
  That's right, Martin.
• 1:00:54
  I've noticed he's bite of blue is coming out.
• 1:00:56
  The blocker's taking a seat.
• 1:00:57
  Now the blue is back in the ball game, 1-1.
• 1:01:00
  I think that Williams like his chances better with bite of blue.
• 1:01:04
  Well, that's going to be too much for Gary Nolan now.
• 1:01:06
  Here comes Farky.
• 1:01:08
  And the Cincinnati pitcher says when Farky comes out there,
• 1:01:11
  he's not coming out for conversation.
• 1:01:13
  He does all the talking on the bounce and in the clubhouse.
• 1:01:15
  When he goes to the mound, he's going out to take him out.
• 1:01:18
  So Farky Anderson has a hook in his hand.
• 1:01:20
  He's got to put it in Gary Nolan.
• 1:01:22
  Gary here in this inning after pitching four very strong innings for Cincinnati,
• 1:01:27
  just got the ball up.
• 1:01:29
  And I don't know, you might say, Jim,
• 1:01:31
  he's a little fortunate to be in a tie ball game the way they hit the ball right here.
• 1:01:35
  They've got to bring in Ross Grimsley, a running pitcher.
• 1:01:39
  One of the games of the series, he's a left-hander.
• 1:01:41
  Your ball is still in the bullpen.
• 1:01:44
  And Farky, I would imagine, hated to have to take Nolan out of here right now
• 1:01:47
  and bring in one of these men because the pitcher's spot comes up fourth
• 1:01:51
  in our inning if they get that far.
• 1:01:53
  And he may have the use of this pitcher for a very short time.
• 1:02:00
  Gary hits the fine round of applause.
• 1:02:02
  Cincinnati fans can't forget the 15 games he has won here this year.
• 1:02:06
  He's got an outstanding job.
• 1:02:17
  Thank you, Gary Nolan, out.
• 1:02:19
  4-2, third inning.
• 1:02:20
  He has given up one round.
• 1:02:22
  He is, could be, charged to coach a green score from second base.
• 1:02:25
  There have been three base hits, two of those in this inning.
• 1:02:28
  And then again, Manguero, he rolls to the wall and he's going to stick home
• 1:02:32
  all the way to the warning track in deep center field, 400 feet away,
• 1:02:36
  before it brings Lyman that shot off the right center field wall
• 1:02:39
  to make it one to one.
• 1:02:41
  Nolan could lose the ball game to a green score, but might not charge it a one run.
• 1:02:46
  Grimsley is coming on, and Grimsley, of course, was a starter and a winner
• 1:02:51
  in this World Series, but then he had an idea in that very bizarre and great
• 1:02:55
  fastball game in which the A's came back in the last of the ninth inning.
• 1:02:59
  He was a loser.
• 1:03:00
  He has won five and two third innings overall, earned an average 3.46
• 1:03:05
  with one of the real fine young hitters, and his fastball is just that much
• 1:03:09
  behind Don Gulliver, who owns the best fastball of the Cincinnati Rift staff.
• 1:03:13
  Grimsley, who worked yesterday, will work again today, and he'll be picking
• 1:03:17
  divided blue, and that man is still going down in the bullpen for Cincinnati
• 1:03:22
  as he has been for the last 15 or 20 minutes.
• 1:03:25
  Pay to the ball.
• 1:03:27
  Three seconds, two out of the one-one ball game at the top of the fifth,
• 1:03:31
  and blue will switch around and back right-handed against Ross Ripley.
• 1:03:35
  Something he doesn't do too much, Jim.
• 1:03:38
  A little unusual, as a matter of fact.
• 1:03:40
  He's going to get right-handed here.
• 1:03:46
  Grimsley off the stretch to pitch to Vida.
• 1:03:50
  Fly ball on.
• 1:03:53
  Yeas bullpen was completely fresh.
• 1:03:57
  Vida might not be batting right here,
• 1:04:01
  but the ace of the bullpen, Raleigh Fingers, went some four inning yesterday.
• 1:04:06
  Here's the pitch.
• 1:04:07
  Black called it one-one.
• 1:04:09
  Grimsley popped that one in there with swimming on it.
• 1:04:13
  Cincinnati got their run on one mighty slinger bat by great catcher Johnny Bents.
• 1:04:19
  Yeas with a single and a double.
• 1:04:24
  Here's the pitch to blue.
• 1:04:25
  A five ball to green.
• 1:04:27
  Blocked the dash off second base.
• 1:04:28
  It might have disconcerted.
• 1:04:30
  Grimsley just enough that time to get him to throw that ball out of the track zone.
• 1:04:44
  Red Rock Theater is a playing shallow.
• 1:04:45
  Green Knight have a hard time scoring on a hit.
• 1:04:48
  Here's a flat call to two and two.
• 1:04:50
  That might be academic the way Grimsley is throwing now anyway.
• 1:05:01
  Vida bounced a lot of times with two strikes running batting left-handed.
• 1:05:06
  Menchie is playing a fairly shallow third right now.
• 1:05:10
  Two-two count.
• 1:05:11
  Grimsley comes to the plate.
• 1:05:13
  Ball three.
• 1:05:15
  Now he has a big pitch to make.
• 1:05:18
  If he loses blue, he'll have to pitch to Campanair.
• 1:05:26
  What a world series for pitchers and defenders.
• 1:05:33
  The old-time baseball purists love them like this.
• 1:05:37
  They take pitch on the way.
• 1:05:38
  He blocked him.
• 1:05:41
  Grimsley comes into the game to pitch to Vida Blue and walks in.
• 1:05:47
  And now Campy Campanair comes up with a runner at second, a runner at first.
• 1:05:53
  I would imagine the reason they chose Grimsley then over the right-hander for a ball is the fact that Vida Blue ordinarily bats left-handed.
• 1:06:03
  Well, he never swung with that right-handed.
• 1:06:06
  He took a total of six pitches and worked his way off.
• 1:06:10
  That's going to be a big watch.
• 1:06:12
  The first one issued to an A's player today.
• 1:06:15
  Now Burt Campanair comes on.
• 1:06:17
  He's grounded out on the infield twice.
• 1:06:19
  Grimsley's set.
• 1:06:20
  Here's the pitch.
• 1:06:21
  He can't be picked outside of all.
• 1:06:22
  One at all.
• 1:06:25
  And the native here, Cincinnati, get a little restless.
• 1:06:31
  Nick Green leading off second base.
• 1:06:34
  Just a little passage.
• 1:06:35
  Around the bases here, all the rest is green carpet.
• 1:06:38
  The pitch to Campanair is swung on and popped up.
• 1:06:40
  They're going to get out of it.
• 1:06:42
  Joe Morgan, the second baseman of Cincinnati, coming in behind the pitchers now.
• 1:06:46
  He got it.
• 1:06:47
  And Campanair is left to one-man on base in this world series and scoring the vikings.
• 1:06:52
  As it again, as Grimsley gets into pop-ups.
• 1:06:55
  We're at the halfway point of the game and we're right where we started as far as deciding it is Cincinnati and Oakland one-on-one.
• 1:07:02
  I'm sure you've all heard of the Plymouth Duster.
• 1:07:05
  That great little car.
• 1:07:07
  Economical, seats five comfortably.
• 1:07:10
  But maybe you haven't heard of its space duster.
• 1:07:14
  That's what Chrysler Plymouth is calling their duster when you order the new fold-down rear seat.
• 1:07:21
  Good feature.
• 1:07:22
  Gives you all sorts of room in the back.
• 1:07:24
  Six and a half feet, in fact.
• 1:07:27
  Practically transforms the car into a miniature moving van.
• 1:07:32
  That's fully carpeted back there, too.
• 1:07:35
  There's something else I think you'll like.
• 1:07:37
  The optional sliding metal sunroof.
• 1:07:41
  Chrysler Plymouth believes that since the 73 Duster is smart-looking and offers features like these,
• 1:07:48
  it could very well be America's best small car for the money.
• 1:07:53
  And I think they're right.
• 1:07:55
  Plymouth Duster.
• 1:07:59
  Extra care in engineering. It makes a difference.

  We have another thriller working on us. For the last half of the game, here is NBC's Jim Simpson.
• 1:08:47
  Right, Marty Halle Grey leads it off. He's 0 for 1.
• 1:08:50
  Right, it moves to a man working in close to fastball. It's live at the center field. That's Rose VanGels.
• 1:08:57
  And it is off the wall. Now the second base goes to McRae.
• 1:09:02
  Wall was high off the wall. I doubt that VanGels would have gone back to the wall and reached him and reached that high.
• 1:09:08
  One penny top 10 in front of it. That's the warning track. Another bounce back to it.
• 1:09:13
  But it is a leadoff double to McRae. And here is Nike, who the last time up in the second inning hit the ball very hard, and Rudy made a fine running catch on him.
• 1:09:25
  1-1 the score. By the blue has now got that open ball pin working again as Bob Walker dashes down.
• 1:09:35
  It's again warming up, and along with him goes Dave Hamill to the left-hander.
• 1:09:40
  Last two of his innings. Nike takes high from blue.
• 1:09:47
  And now Vando races over to the right of blue.
• 1:09:52
  Blue's wildness in the third and fourth innings has been low.
• 1:09:58
  He's coming off getting the ball up high, but got the pitchers down.
• 1:10:01
  Back times to McRae. He's got to pick up high. He landed for a double, and the first pitch to Nike is very high.
• 1:10:12
  The pitch strikes. Tom Hall, left-hander who came over from Minnesota and the Wayne Rangers,
• 1:10:21
  McRae has gone to the bullpen. Or Cincinnati, so both bullpens are busy. McRae is down at second base. Down is one ball, one strike to Nike.
• 1:10:32
  Blue from the stretch. Throw the change, and now he's up high.
• 1:10:37
  Two-one.
• 1:10:42
  And he's down to Alex Dramas, the coach of third base. George Sugar is over first base, mostly to his base runner, McRae at second.
• 1:10:52
  Wayne was coming in close by the bag. Two balls, one strike to pitch.
• 1:10:57
  Danny's fastball and it's fouled away off to the right. Two and two.
• 1:11:04
  Johnny Bentz landed a wide-a-blue 3-1 pitch into the left-field, Mezzanine in the fourth, for the first run of the ball game, and in the fifth, Oakland Tottes.
• 1:11:12
  Mando's single and green double to drive it in.
• 1:11:18
  And we are in the sixth consecutive post-ball game of this World Series.
• 1:11:23
  One ball right past the cross. A blue up to the cap and out going from deep shortstop and he's flying on a great fly as McRae goes to first.
• 1:11:33
  And now it's in short centerfield as the ball cuts the glove of blue, and that prevents the glow from showing.
• 1:11:41
  And that is the second fine play by Cavalier's William Anna out of the ultimate, a great running catch back in the first.
• 1:11:50
  But that's enough to bring Dick Williams out of the dugout.
• 1:11:57
  Talking about the faster cook, Marnie, we're going to see a lot of pictures here today, it looks like.
• 1:12:02
  Yes, the A's have even two of their starters out in the bullpen, ours is Cincinnati, but there's nothing to save them for.
• 1:12:08
  It's a long, cold winter after this one.
• 1:12:11
  The A's in the bullpen today will have riders Jim Hunter and left-hander Ken Holtzman.
• 1:12:20
  They have Hamilton out there and Horland Fenix is there for no more than about one man.
• 1:12:27
  It is not necessarily true that Dave, that William came out there, Dick Williams came out to short to fight a blue,
• 1:12:36
  about his thinking, but rather he might have been out there talking about what are they going to do with McRae and third baseman one out.
• 1:12:44
  Could there be a bunch for the right side? Could there be a bunch for the left side? What is the play?
• 1:12:48
  The infield has come in, Bando way to his infielders.
• 1:12:53
  Long to one, the going head run, McRae and third baseman one out, Concepcion was shut up with a curve in the third inning and then snuck out swinging at a fastball.
• 1:13:04
  The 49er with the hands inside, ball one, the fastball from white to blue.
• 1:13:10
  This is where blue desperately wants to strike out Concepcion again.
• 1:13:16
  Remove Bringsley from the mound and bring up a pinch hitter.
• 1:13:19
  Bringsley is out on deck. Blue is back with the ball, it just gets an ease and that is the strike.
• 1:13:25
  As Bill Haller and Concepcion steps out, one ball, one strike.
• 1:13:31
  All continues in the Central United bullpen. Hamilton and Locker in the open bullpen.
• 1:13:41
  One ball, one strike, one out, one to one the score.
• 1:13:48
  Haller briefly calls time, now Concepcion is ready.
• 1:13:55
  Left hander, white or blue, comes back and takes something off and a pitch out looks like Concepcion perhaps McRae on his way home from third base.
• 1:14:04
  Concepcion outside as blue is delivering the ball and puts a high and away pitch.
• 1:14:09
  They wasted one to see what McRae was going to do.
• 1:14:13
  Reds have had reputation, addresses on the base half.
• 1:14:18
  We'll look over McRae, he's sending their hands on hits to third base.
• 1:14:23
  Blue ready, fastball, set up here.
• 1:14:26
  There's McRae, very deep set up here, here comes McRae, here comes the throw, off line, a civil one for McRae.
• 1:14:56
  Now a cut of McRae for the double and the Senate Concepcion for their sacrifice wide a deep skinner field.
• 1:15:05
  But don't take away what Menke did by bouncing the man from second to third.
• 1:15:09
  Menke will now back himself and takes the called strikes.
• 1:15:12
  Menke did the job, matter of fact Menke almost drove in McRae himself,
• 1:15:17
  that had not been for the fine play of Kapaneris in back of second base.
• 1:15:20
  To the one, the Reds again at the lead, blue right back and Greenfield fouls it off to the left.
• 1:15:25
  And we're right back in a one run difference ball game again for the sixth consecutive tie.
• 1:15:30
  The Reds lead it two to one.
• 1:15:37
  Grimsley allowed to battle himself with none on and two outs.
• 1:15:41
  Takes a high at it, one ball two strikes.
• 1:15:47
  In the sixth inning Grimsley will be facing the left hander Alou, right hander Rudy and the left hander XT.
• 1:15:56
  Change up and Grimsley strikes out swinging.
• 1:15:58
  One run short on the one base hit, there were no errors and nonetheless, the end of five, the Reds lead the eight.
• 1:16:06
  Two to one.
• 1:16:11
  Hello. Hello Mr. Gilbert, this is Ms. Ramsey. I'm conducting a survey.
• 1:16:19
  Would you mind answering a few questions about air travel? I'd be glad to.
• 1:16:24
  What airline can send your reservation in three seconds? Delta.
• 1:16:28
  And which airline delivers your bags in an average of seven minutes after you land? Delta.
• 1:16:34
  Can you name an airline that flies the wide ride jet to 747 and soon will be C-10? Delta.
• 1:16:41
  That airline is known as the airline run by professionals. Delta.
• 1:16:46
  Which airline offers total service? Delta.
• 1:16:49
  As the airline you fly most often except the American Express money card and better yet you extend payment for all air on the American Express money card, phone and fly plan?
• 1:17:00
  Delta, Delta. Which airline do you plan to fly on your next trip?
• 1:17:04
  Would you like to take a guess?
• 1:17:07
  I'd love to take a guess. When do I fly?
• 1:17:34
  Good afternoon.
• 1:17:37
  One, a big play. Final blue. A power pitching strikeout type pitcher needed a strikeout of a man that he had struck out once before, Dave Concepcion. But he didn't get that strikeout. Concepcion fought him off in a one strike pitch and hit the ball in the center field. A very, very bad performance by the Georgetown. That's the play against the hard-crowing final blue. Now the reds fan themselves in front again. Two to one. Here's Jim.
• 1:18:04
  The A's in their fans may wonder what has happened to Matty Alou. Matty Alou has been well over 300 in his career since he won that batting title with the Pirates. Here he's come on to the World Series against a team that he faced many times this summer because he was with the Cardinals. And he has won for 19.
• 1:18:22
  In this ball game he's done with weakly the second base and with a short fly ball to right field. 0 for 2 in the sixth inning and takes a strike from Rinsley. Alou is now 0 for 11 since his only hit in this series.
• 1:18:37
  He came in the second game against Hall who was warming up moments ago. Rinsley takes something off this pitch and Alou fouls the shot. Two strikes. In the open six it's 2 to 1. If this week stands up we come back and we can really haul out the old cretacea tomorrow. There will be no tomorrow if we go through tomorrow. Two strikes.
• 1:19:06
  They lay Alou straight away and rather shallow and he lines this one towards Joe Morgan. He swings very deep and loops down to Eminence. Off line drive and Alou is out.
• 1:19:18
  Joe Rudy. Right right field and hit a very high pitch. Left field and the force just narrowly missing getting all of the bat on the ball. Got it very high. 0 for 2. 5 for 20 in the series. He hit a home run here to win the second game last Sunday.
• 1:19:38
  And then in the bottom of the ninth inning Rob Dennis Menke with extra base hits and the Reds have a chance to tie or win that ball game. Rinsley's left hander throws low and away ball one to Rudy. Rudy a regular season 300 hitter.
• 1:19:59
  And playing Joe going around to the right as he hits many balls to the right has great power to the right center. But there's one run here with pull and there's one pull to left gonna field for base hits.
• 1:20:10
  On two half to feed roads and Rudy the potential tying run is on base. That's the fourth A's hit. The first of Rinsley. And here's Mike FD who is over 14 and has struck out twice 20.
• 1:20:27
  The Raddlers against the right hander Nolan. Now he's got to face the left hander. Here there's a scouting report single. Pete Rose is really cheating. We've mentioned a while ago he plays Rudy about 90 feet over toward center with a normal defense for a right handed batter. That's an easy double.
• 1:20:44
  Here's one body. FD and the left hander steps in. Reading off at first is Rudy. The pitch. Fung on. Grounded toward first base. Perez with it. Raddler with his bare hand and goes over and sliding around the throw but not quite as he puts it on him.
• 1:20:58
  Here's the A's. What a delicate play out of something there. Raddler with a bare hand. Shoot it toward the line. Never did touch the bag but did touch that screen as he shoot around and towards first base. Rudy goes into second. FD is retired by Perez.
• 1:21:15
  Now Bando is 2 for 2 today. If he gets his third base hit here we've got to time all game again apparently. Bando has the A's with game winning RBIs all through the regular season. He has had no RBIs in this World Series. He scored the only run back in the fifth inning going ahead of Green Devil.
• 1:21:32
  Now it's 2 for 2. Both singles to left center. Lindsley Woods to Bando outside. 2 out. Puddle on the score. Cincinnati top of the sixth. Rudy down to second base.
• 1:21:52
  The ball is up and throwing again. All is taken a seat in the Cincinnati bullpen. Lindsley throws again outside. Lindsley most of his missed pitches have been away from the right-hander.
• 1:22:05
  He's keeping the ball to the outside corner and that's where he's missed. 2 and 0 as Bando gets out on deck. Simply throw low away and it is 3 and 0. And now Manky charges into Lindsley.
• 1:22:25
  Dennis may have gotten a sign from Sparky Anderson who is now off and walking back and forth and looking down to the bullpen.
• 1:22:38
  Now Anderson is coming out. He may have gotten a signal and that may be all on a 3-0 count.
• 1:22:43
  Lindsley just stands there and tears back. Quick kill on the rubber. Here comes Banchow. He made a change at 3 and 0 the other day with Mike Epstein at the plate.
• 1:22:57
  3 and 0 count. He brought in Flake Carroll at that time and Carroll threw a fastball called strike and then Epstein went for the 3-1 pitch and grounded out.
• 1:23:05
  This is the fast thing right here Sparky might be saying, look, don't give the guy a one he can hit out of the ballpark. I guess he's going to leave it in here. He's nuts.
• 1:23:17
  Now he's going for the fingerball man, Pedro Borbol, who has been around a few times before. This is the sixth World Cairs game in Borbol and this will be his fifth.
• 1:23:35
  You may wonder how many times Johnny Vents really influences what Sparky Anderson does in a case like that. They say Vents is probably not as smart as he's been around in a long time.
• 1:23:47
  I would imagine that Sparky, knowing how well Vents knows his pitches, might get a lot of valuable information out of him. Managers definitely go to the catchers a lot.
• 1:23:56
  Well, he also tells me, Monty, that once you see Vents behind that plate and he should glance towards the dugout, that's just as Sparky ends it. He immediately goes because his catcher is only 24 years old.
• 1:24:08
  The man that's already been the most valuable player at 8'22, a man who again this year has led the Major League in home runs and an RBI, did a home run here today for one of his red runs, Sparky really takes the height of Johnny Vents.
• 1:24:23
  He's got everything. He's got good arm, he knows how to block, he knows how to call again, and he can hit the ball out of sight.
• 1:24:33
  Warbone is in warming up. Now, Vents only worked one inning. He hit up one base hit, that's it. He did walk one man, and that was fight of roof. Warbone coming on as an earned one average of 1.76, a change in five and a third inning.
• 1:24:53
  A play, he's given up just one run. He's walked a couple, he's struck out four. He's been very effective. When Pedro is in there, he hits that ball out of his batter, he hits that ball out of the ground.
• 1:25:03
  He has a real good shaker, not only a sinker, but it breaks down and into a right-handed batter. Red is trying to make World Series history. No team in World Series history has ever lost the first two games at home and gone on to win a World Series.
• 1:25:19
  However, there have been five teams in history that have been down three games to one, as the Reds were going into yesterday's game to come back and win it, the last game the Detroit Tigers in 1968.
• 1:25:30
  Now, Bando, with a count of three and all, he has two for two on the bed, has scored the only eight runs, gets in. Warbone working his way in on this three-oh count with two out, and Joe Rudy down to second base, and he gets the call strike, and Bando is kicking it all away.
• 1:25:47
  Now, Bando will look for his pitch.
• 1:25:53
  Pointing, hops it up. Playable, Johnny Bench goes inside the mask, hops his glove, and has it, and a ball on two pitches.
• 1:26:01
  Hits him out of it, no runs, one hit, no airs, and Joe Rudy up to second base.
• 1:26:06
  We go to the last number six, Cincinnati 2, Oakland 1.
• 1:26:10
  Hello, I'm Johnny Bench for Anco Winkfield Wipers, and I want to talk to service taking manager, display the bright yellow Anco Winkfield Wiper Service Cabinet.
• 1:26:18
  You can make the wiper business good business simply by asking one little question of every driver.
• 1:26:23
  Do your wipers stick to your windshield? No high pressure, no hard sell.
• 1:26:28
  If the answer is yes, suggest replacing the speakers with fresh Anco wipers and tell them you can do it in seconds.
• 1:26:34
  That's all there is to do.
• 1:26:35
  It's as easy as taking the base on balls, as Anco Wipers by Anderson.
• 1:26:41
  Nothing comes back, no turtles shall play. Nothing comes back, no turtles shall play.
• 1:26:47
  Come to Turkey, Greece, Saltwater, Turtle Wax comes through.
• 1:26:51
  Because nothing comes through, the turtle's hard shell finish.
• 1:26:54
  We shine your card up blinding, brilliant in 25 minutes, with Turtle Wax.
• 1:26:59
  Turtle Wax, in liquid or paste, anything else is mop turtle.
• 1:27:11
  The showing in this game has been best.
• 1:27:16
  The Reds get the scoreboard first with a line drive home run by Johnny Bench with 2 down and 4 thinning.
• 1:27:22
  Oakland tied in the fifth and a single by Van Doer double by Dick Green.
• 1:27:26
  The Reds get the doorhead run and a lead off double by McCray and a sacrifice fly ball by Dave Concepcion.
• 1:27:33
  We go to the last half of the sixth inning, White or Blue still on Brooklyn, once again, Jinta.
• 1:27:38
  Lee Rose is also on Pusher Walk.
• 1:27:40
  Favonaris had a great plan on the first inning, Rose Walk in the third and was thrown out trying to field.
• 1:27:45
  White or Blue's 2 in there, goes and he hits the chain.
• 1:27:48
  Popped up toward short white field, Pusher's green and happy.
• 1:27:52
  He's thrown out.
• 1:27:56
  Morgan doubled in the second, three third on the throwing here by Sennafielder-Manduel,
• 1:28:01
  but with left-hander there, Favonaris and Rudy turn an outstanding defense to play.
• 1:28:06
  In the fourth inning, no foul out to catcher Dean Kenner.
• 1:28:11
  Next win is today, need we remind you, it'll be a seven game series.
• 1:28:15
  A's come back, it's all over today.
• 1:28:18
  By the blue left hander, the left hander, and he fires a spike.
• 1:28:21
  Joe Morgan, who has now won for 18 in the series, but he has scored three runs.
• 1:28:29
  Blue right back and there's the ground ball to the right side.
• 1:28:32
  Over quickly comes green, underhand that, Dean has Morgan by four or five-six.
• 1:28:37
  Looks like it was Coughlet, he showed a little indecision there whether he should go for it or go for the back.
• 1:28:45
  Here's Bobby Colton.
• 1:28:47
  Favonaris made the good running play on him in the first with Morgan a third base,
• 1:28:52
  and he struck out looking in the fourth and turned around to run for Bill Hollins through where was that.
• 1:28:57
  Colton is the RBI leader in the series with four, and he led the Reds in the playoffs with four RBI.
• 1:29:08
  Blue pitches, ground ball up the middle, make it through Favonaris,
• 1:29:12
  way better to go on through to Tennessee, and as well as there, Colton takes a big turn,
• 1:29:17
  goes back to first and is holding it first.
• 1:29:19
  Here's Johnny Bent, who's hit the ball hard twice today, once for a home run.
• 1:29:37
  Way to go, Ben Walker and Hamilton go to work again.
• 1:29:42
  Bent pulled a wide of blue fastball, a vicious drive down the left field line in the first inning,
• 1:29:48
  Joe Rudy made a fine running catch.
• 1:29:50
  In the fourth inning with a 3-2, Lou just made it too good,
• 1:29:54
  and Bent slid it into the manzadine in left field.
• 1:29:59
  Time has been called, Favonaris has come in.
• 1:30:02
  I don't think there's any strategy here, just that Locker and Hamilton, if Joke's now, started to throw.
• 1:30:13
  Two outs, Colton is quickly red-sixed, they lead it by a run, they want more.
• 1:30:22
  Blue now ready, set, throw, high and away, ball on the bench.
• 1:30:29
  They say when Colton leads towards second base, he is not going.
• 1:30:34
  When he makes the motion to go back towards first, he may be running.
• 1:30:37
  They're watching, and he is checked over there,
• 1:30:40
  Blue forces him back with a throw to F.D. News holding it at the back.
• 1:30:47
  Colton plants the left foot inside the dirt, the right foot on the artificial turf.
• 1:30:51
  Now he's going to be checked back again.
• 1:30:55
  This is the aggressiveness of this running Cincinnati ball club.
• 1:31:00
  And so close is the game, they can't afford to let these fellas get a jump on it.
• 1:31:13
  Colton is still in three bases in this series already, in four attempts.
• 1:31:17
  Now he's leaning back, but he's not drawing in the pitches outside.
• 1:31:21
  Here's Swinnell, and Dick Williams is walking out now.
• 1:31:27
  That's the second pitch outside, Blue turns around and now he sees that Williams is coming out.
• 1:31:34
  And so Mike, if they anticipate a Bob Walker, a right hander coming on the base bench,
• 1:31:38
  they don't want that to happen, and they're going for the man.
• 1:31:45
  Running in comes Bob Walker.
• 1:31:49
  You could call Bob Walker the super sinker baller.
• 1:31:52
  He's been around a long time.
• 1:31:54
  Bob did a great job for Oakland this year.
• 1:31:56
  He had some good sports in Detroit, and it was him where he inherited a two-run lead in the last half of the semis.
• 1:32:02
  And Tigers forced three to win in the fourth game of the playoffs period with Bob.
• 1:32:07
  And to tell you the truth, most batters are going to hit the ball on the ground.
• 1:32:11
  He's a little bit like Bob Walton.
• 1:32:13
  He throws a hard sinker that goes down into a right-handed batter.
• 1:32:17
  He also throws a flier.
• 1:32:21
  Sinkerballers should have to have a little luck, really, because most batters do hit the ball.
• 1:32:26
  Walker doesn't strike out too many in the same way as Bob Walton.
• 1:32:29
  You have to hope that when they hit it, he hits it at somebody, and particularly on a turf such as this.
• 1:32:34
  They say it's hard for a sinker baller to win on artificial turf because the ball goes through there so quickly.
• 1:32:41
  On batters, however, we'll tell you that a sinker baller is effective here because the ball does take crew hops through the enclosures and cuts out the other area.
• 1:32:50
  Bob Walton here is in a pretty tough situation.
• 1:32:52
  Both managers are working here with changes in the middle of a chow field batter.
• 1:32:59
  Rocky Anderson and Dick Wimmin both have drawn out a pitcher before a batter is out of sight.
• 1:33:06
  Something unusual about him is this is Walker's first appearance in the World Series.
• 1:33:10
  He has been up and down, throwing nearly as much on the sidelines as he would in the games.
• 1:33:14
  All through this series, but now he's in for the first shot.
• 1:33:17
  The last year he was 6-1.
• 1:33:19
  At 10 saves, and the other one I was just 2.65.
• 1:33:23
  Yeah, he's strictly a reliever.
• 1:33:25
  He has been out with 50-10 baseball.
• 1:33:27
  He has been around for a lot of years with the White Sox and the A's and the Milwaukee Brewers.
• 1:33:32
  He has never started a ball game.
• 1:33:34
  And then upwards of a thousand that he's never started once.
• 1:33:38
  And in this World Series, it is now certain that through this game,
• 1:33:41
  no pitcher has finished their ball game or has started once.
• 1:33:45
  Everybody has been relieved.
• 1:33:47
  Now the situation is Johnny Banks has a 2-0 count to it.
• 1:33:50
  Coleman is on his first base.
• 1:33:52
  Still a danger to go.
• 1:33:54
  Walker, a right-hander, is come on to her face, the right-hander says.
• 1:33:58
  Coleman is on his way.
• 1:34:01
  It's halfway down the line and Bennett has a pop out of his hand.
• 1:34:04
  Post, still a base and five tries for Bobby Coleman.
• 1:34:18
  And a shot of 3-0.
• 1:34:20
  So now they're putting bench on.
• 1:34:21
  3-0, they don't want bench to hit a ball.
• 1:34:23
  Remember what happened a couple of games ago with a count of 3-2?
• 1:34:28
  They made it just to put bench on and he took some breaking pitch from fingers to strike three.
• 1:34:33
  Johnny is 3-2 now but Johnny is standing in there swinging the bat.
• 1:34:55
  All right, needs to roll, carries with number of hits.
• 1:35:09
  Eight for 20 that's why, he's rolled for two today.
• 1:35:12
  Loved a couple of times, he's not living in runs but he's got a golden opportunity here.
• 1:35:17
  This is a man that can hit the long ball.
• 1:35:20
  Locker throw just down low with the pick up ball, all on.
• 1:35:27
  Two on four hits, no Irish for the Reds.
• 1:35:29
  One on four hits, one Irish for the A's.
• 1:35:32
  We are in the Cincinnati six, in Cincinnati.
• 1:35:44
  Locker ready throw, down ball falls, Ramaphosa drove his head in the couching.
• 1:35:49
  It bounds down under the A's, one ball one strike.
• 1:36:00
  These are Geronimo always warming up, Hal McRae, who as Monty described as a real slasher,
• 1:36:06
  he comes out swinging, he describes himself as the offensive player of the Reds.
• 1:36:11
  With a two to one lead, perhaps more, they're looking for defense probably in the next inning.
• 1:36:19
  A ball one strike, the Reds ready.
• 1:36:24
  There goes the runners and the ball is hit up the middle and they're running on the play.
• 1:36:28
  The Reds are in the first three to one and on the way to Bergo's fence.
• 1:36:58
  The runners throw a two-maner blue with Bob Locker,
• 1:37:12
  adds Holden's feet on him, setting up the intentional loss for the best,
• 1:37:16
  and then the Reds get this first RBI with a line drive single up the middle.
• 1:37:22
  Here's McRae, who doubled and scored in the fifth.
• 1:37:26
  A strike one, the play went off the grip with a double off the right center of the wall.
• 1:37:33
  Runners up the corner, bench is first, the Reds are first,
• 1:37:37
  field two out, now it's a three to one ball game.
• 1:37:41
  Locker ready, throws, down the court, Campanella, Campanella keeps the green for the fourth and second.
• 1:37:46
  The Reds get another run on one base hit and the running game really paid off.
• 1:37:52
  The Reds are two base hits, no errors, and two net left.
• 1:37:56
  The end of six, the Reds lead the A three to one.
• 1:37:59
  The Reds are the Reds.
• 1:38:27
  The Reds are the Reds.
• 1:38:50
  The Reds are the Reds.
• 1:39:09
  We call 30 seconds for station identification.
• 1:39:12
  It's 1130 from KGW Portland.
• 1:39:14
  You know to some people, a newspaper is only a masthead, some pipe, and a few pictures.
• 1:39:19
  At the Oregonian, we know better.
• 1:39:22
  To us, a newspaper is people, individuals who we're very proud of,
• 1:39:26
  people like our sports writer Leo Davis.

  Leo's a dedicated journalist who's been voted the outstanding sports writer in Oregon four times.

• 1:39:46
  Now in the top half of inning number seven, the Cincinnati leading three to one on five hits.
• 1:39:51
  The Yankees have four.
• 1:39:52
  Here's Jim Fisker.
• 1:39:53
  All right, money.
• 1:39:54
  These are drawn and as expected, it's now out in right field.
• 1:39:57
  McCray is out of the game, and well he's dropped, and takes the strike.
• 1:40:02
  And well, well now that first strike, because of the fact that he didn't have the strike,
• 1:40:07
  he had to throw a beaten, that was from the second, and then sent.
• 1:40:10
  The world's very deep in the fifth inning, foul of the three, the two strikes.
• 1:40:16
  That's leaded by two.
• 1:40:17
  It's the first time in the world's series they have led by as much as two runs.
• 1:40:21
  This is a team that was down two games to none, dropping their first two at home.
• 1:40:25
  Out to open, the two out of three there.
• 1:40:28
  They came back here swimming three games to two.
• 1:40:30
  They're trying to even it today.
• 1:40:31
  Fine drive, base hit by Banguel to right.
• 1:40:34
  So, and turns it off with a fine backhanded play, and holds Banguel onto a single.
• 1:40:42
  And that was a fine play by Koehler.
• 1:40:44
  Backhanded the ball, racing for a draw on the ball, and they hit up on each other.
• 1:40:48
  Backhanded it, the court slips through to the warning track and the wall.
• 1:40:51
  Banguel had to hold on.
• 1:40:53
  Now the fans become apprehensive, because here is Gene Tennant.
• 1:40:59
  One of the few men in the world's series history that has hit four home runs in the series.
• 1:41:06
  Plain foul of the play.
• 1:41:09
  Tennant hit his first two, first two times up against Gary Nolan in the first game.
• 1:41:16
  Now on Thursday night, he hit a home run.
• 1:41:19
  And that was an important single in the ninth inning rally.
• 1:41:21
  And yesterday afternoon he hit a three-run home run.
• 1:41:24
  He has driven him seven runs.
• 1:41:27
  The breaking pitch has been very close over.
• 1:41:30
  Gene Tennant, he must have been getting pass calls.
• 1:41:38
  He lost out to Manguel on his first hit.
• 1:41:44
  We're blown to right-hander throws, and the breaking pitch misters outside, very close.
• 1:41:52
  And the home run is a good fastball on the first pitch, and twice now has thrown the breaking ball.
• 1:42:02
  Back to the fastball, ground it toward third base foul ball.
• 1:42:04
  Manke backhanded again, and he takes everything.
• 1:42:07
  1970 World Series, everybody was talking about the most valuable player of that year was Brooks Robinson.
• 1:42:13
  Call him the vacuum cleaner over third base.
• 1:42:15
  Manke does not have the opportunity for the fantastic plays that Brooks Robinson turned in,
• 1:42:21
  but he sure has taken everything within range.
• 1:42:25
  Sometimes a little of those that are not in range.
• 1:42:28
  A ball two strikes the center.
• 1:42:30
  The long throws are fastball, foul again at the plate.
• 1:42:37
  The rest lead it three to one.
• 1:42:39
  We are in the open seventh, and the bottom part of the batting order.
• 1:42:45
  The long throws, the breaking pitch outside, swings foul, gets him still alive, and that's good to hold on to it.
• 1:42:51
  That is really one to the breaking pitch outside the strike zone.
• 1:42:55
  He's got a little piece of his bat on it.
• 1:42:58
  Still one ball, two strikes.
• 1:43:06
  The long after set throws, the breaking pitch, the ball is topped up.
• 1:43:10
  Call it short center field, has it.
• 1:43:16
  Bennett, this is some of the hitting fastballs of war zone, but Bennett is most ineffective against the breaking pitch sometimes.
• 1:43:25
  And now, Green is scheduled to hit, but is not going to hit.
• 1:43:32
  Andres O'Markett, who made headlines in the playoffs and in the World Series, is coming out.
• 1:43:38
  Marquez, one of those who comes up to swing.
• 1:43:41
  He is three to four as a pitcher, getting 7.50 in the World Series.
• 1:43:48
  And this Green making a move now, entering Green to double in the only run that the A's have.
• 1:44:01
  Marquez is the man who swings him down in the, what was it, with?
• 1:44:04
  Our money that he had 50 great season before coming up to you.
• 1:44:08
  Yes, he did.
• 1:44:09
  The year before last, he hit.387 in the minor leagues and felt that he should be in the big leagues.
• 1:44:15
  And he did not get a big league contract, so he held out the entire season last year.
• 1:44:20
  This year he opened up with the ILO, the AAA Farm Club, and had a very fine year.
• 1:44:25
  And there's been an outstanding sink hitter.
• 1:44:27
  He had seven hits and 15 at bats as a sink hitter during the last part of the season.
• 1:44:31
  And he's three to four here in the World Series.
• 1:44:35
  Left hander batter, Manuel Phillips first base.
• 1:44:40
  That ball long away, Marquez.
• 1:44:47
  John Metscher has come out on deck, and we're back for the pitcher locker.
• 1:44:52
  Breaking pitch, Metscher, and it's 2-0.
• 1:44:57
  Marquez not only three to four in the World Series, but two to three in the playoff, five to seven in both season plays.
• 1:45:06
  Manny was saying he held out all last year.
• 1:45:08
  He's got a good way to stand on this year.
• 1:45:10
  He's getting out of 3-8.
• 1:45:12
  Udo comes back on the back wall and has him swinging.
• 1:45:15
  He lost one strike.
• 1:45:18
  Learning those sevens for 15 during the season that Manny was talking about as a pitcher to Marquez is 12 to 22.
• 1:45:25
  That's better than 500.
• 1:45:28
  Two and one to him.
• 1:45:30
  Perez holding Manuel on his first.
• 1:45:33
  Out again for play.
• 1:45:35
  And again he's on the back wall.
• 1:45:39
  Two and two.
• 1:45:43
  Now Hall is throwing, and now the Hawks, they tell, has joined the blaze.
• 1:45:48
  Always named for players of need.
• 1:45:53
  National and American lakes, the Hawks and the Blaze.
• 1:45:56
  Translated to Space Gale and Tom Hall.
• 1:45:58
  Fastball mystery.
• 1:46:01
  Three and two.
• 1:46:04
  Three and two is one out.
• 1:46:06
  We will see whether or not Manuel will be off and running, or whether he will.
• 1:46:15
  Oro, the right-hander is ready.
• 1:46:17
  He's not running at first base.
• 1:46:18
  He's just breaking base, but on out goes to second base to suggest he on back to first too late.
• 1:46:23
  And the hesitation of O'Reilly might have cost him the double play right there.
• 1:46:27
  Kept him alive.
• 1:46:28
  He has the ball.
• 1:46:30
  All about it for a minute.
• 1:46:32
  And then through to second base.
• 1:46:36
  Well the A's and Marquez are still alive, and that will bring on Don Mitchell.
• 1:46:42
  Mitchell started out the year with a check of blazes.
• 1:46:48
  On out heading 216, six home runs, 44 RBI's, and as we said back in the 1965 World Series,
• 1:46:53
  his first World Series, a fast home run off the on-drive field.
• 1:46:58
  Mitchell the other night, in the mind-shaking of that dramatic come-from-behind three-to-two win,
• 1:47:03
  the A's had an important on-drive single to right center field.
• 1:47:10
  Reds lead it three to one.
• 1:47:13
  They're both in his big league.
• 1:47:19
  Now out comes Sparky Anderson.
• 1:47:22
  We are really seeing some tension.
• 1:47:25
  The wheels have turned and every one of these games.
• 1:47:29
  And with Reds and the Minsters coming up, it might be that Tom Hall, very quickly,
• 1:47:34
  will be called in because Sparky might be having bad dreams of a Minsters full on-drive home run.
• 1:47:40
  That's the foregone is leaving.
• 1:47:42
  And as soon as he makes that turn, Dick Williams will make the change.
• 1:47:45
  Dave Duncan was standing in the red dot with a batting coming on,
• 1:47:49
  and I believe they are called on Minter back, and have Dave Duncan's pinch hit for him.
• 1:47:55
  Duncan had a big pinch hit yesterday down the line in left field,
• 1:47:59
  and he's had a little faster, he might have had a dribble on the ball, and that's big banked in.
• 1:48:03
  Well these Minters in the managerial chairs for this World Series going into the 6th and 7th games,
• 1:48:09
  if it goes its part of the mile, and right now the Reds are certainly in the driver's seat,
• 1:48:13
  as said, I've got a 25-man roster and I've got to use them.
• 1:48:18
  So Tommy Hall, a hard-scoring, a little up tender, is coming on,
• 1:48:24
  and sure enough, Tom Minter will go back, and Dave Duncan will take his place.
• 1:48:28
  The eighth pinch hitting success in this series has been incredible.
• 1:48:32
  They had three straight pinch hits in the game 94 last in Oakland, the game they came from behind in one.
• 1:48:38
  Yesterday they had another couple of pinch hits, Marquez and Duncan both went up the pinch hitters and got base hits.
• 1:48:45
  Tom Hall is entering his third World Series game.
• 1:48:48
  His work to total avoid in thus far has not allowed a run.
• 1:48:53
  He has allowed three hits, he has walked two, and he struck out three.
• 1:48:58
  They call him to play, call him in, he'll face Dave Duncan,
• 1:49:02
  the big catcher who started out the year as a regular Oakland catcher,
• 1:49:06
  gets 19 home runs in the early drawing and most of his RBI's 59 in the early drawing before he can a stick over.
• 1:49:12
  He comes up with two outs, Marquez on a first base, in the Oakland 7, has ways down by a score of 3 to 1.
• 1:49:21
  Him, I'm sure, there'll be a lot of discussion about whether Bob Ong thought that that was going to be the third out
• 1:49:26
  with the throw of the first base or if he thought the runner had taken off the first on a 3-2 cast
• 1:49:30
  because he had an easy double play ball hit back during time like Marquez a minute ago
• 1:49:34
  and as you mentioned he had that hesitation, he looked right at first base right off the bat
• 1:49:40
  as if he thought well there's two down and this will make the first.
• 1:49:43
  Well let's see if it makes a real difference or not.
• 1:49:46
  He would have been out of the inning with the pitcher leading off from the eighth inning.
• 1:49:50
  What he is, he must now face Dave Duncan's fifth inning for the pitcher.
• 1:49:57
  Roger Wirtz, the third of an inning, gave up a walk in the base fifth.
• 1:50:02
  No luck.
• 1:50:05
  Alright, Tom Hall is ready.
• 1:50:09
  The rally's just a rally.
• 1:50:11
  Lane charge expected, Hall throws and it's up high to Duncan ball one.
• 1:50:15
  If there is a seventh game tomorrow, right now you'd have to say it looks like it, wouldn't you?
• 1:50:20
  The two runs is not that much, although it's been 20.
• 1:50:23
  We're one of the only game in this series.
• 1:50:25
  Lane charge are expected tomorrow at 60 percent chance.
• 1:50:29
  One ball no strike.
• 1:50:31
  Duncan tries to catch a swing on a breaking pitch and ten out.
• 1:50:35
  It's a strike. One ball one strike.
• 1:50:38
  Duncan had a shot single round the left field line against the base game at the century.
• 1:50:45
  Dave called him strong.
• 1:50:50
  Now, very empty, waiting for the Reds to get out of it if they can.
• 1:50:53
  Hall is ready, him throws and this one is up high.
• 1:50:56
  Two balls, one strike.
• 1:51:01
  The crowd in Cincinnati becomes so quiet, and the A's are in any kind of threat.
• 1:51:07
  It's almost as though you're doing a golf match and you're close to a man about to take a cut.
• 1:51:11
  You don't want to talk too loud.
• 1:51:13
  We'll see him this early next.
• 1:51:15
  There are more than 50,000 here looking on.
• 1:51:17
  Here's the two-one pitch, and Duncan is out in front of it, and it's a strike two.
• 1:51:23
  Two balls, two strikes, two outs.
• 1:51:26
  Open seven.
• 1:51:31
  Left side of the infield for the right-handed Duncan, way back.
• 1:51:36
  He's 10 to 15 feet in back of it.
• 1:51:41
  Already two-two, and heart team out clean.
• 1:51:45
  No arms, one hit, no errors, and Marquez has done it at first base.
• 1:51:48
  He's over the last two to seven, and the Reds continue to lead the A's, three to one.
• 1:51:53
  My dear, I remember when traveling the far, there was an excellent delight.
• 1:51:57
  Oh, we depleted that world.
• 1:51:59
  You believe me, at the airport a sky cab ran to the curb and kicked in our luggage,
• 1:52:04
  and we drove off to kick a car to a man in a red jacket the rest of us to the gate,
• 1:52:08
  and we never spent a minute waiting in line.
• 1:52:11
  I was just with a wide ride seven-four to St. Louis, and oh my dear,
• 1:52:14
  there seemed to be lots of drugs arrayed on the street.
• 1:52:18
  Oh my god, just went by the bird.
• 1:52:20
  We had to make time in the field as to, I mean, truly professional.
• 1:52:24
  Our darling, the fight was all too short, and you know,
• 1:52:27
  our luggage actually beat us to the craniums there.
• 1:52:30
  My act took the floor, there was such a joy.
• 1:52:33
  I can't remember, Grandma.
• 1:52:35
  Just last month, my dear, when Grandpa took me to Miami and drove an airplane.
• 1:52:39

  With McDonald's Big Mac, you get a lot to ob.
• 1:53:02
  Cheese, special sauce, and a double helping of cheese,
• 1:53:06
  all in a toasted sesame seed bun.
• 1:53:09
  McDonald's Big Mac, open wide and say, ah.
• 1:53:14
  Mickey in the 3-1 ballgame.
• 1:53:25
  Mickey is wide to center and ground about 0 for 2 and takes the pitch inside row 1.
• 1:53:31
  I can give you a couple of predictions for tomorrow.
• 1:53:33
  If it goes to the seventh game, it will be Jack Gillingham for the reds
• 1:53:37
  and Blue Mets for the reds.
• 1:53:39
  And it's supposed to rain tomorrow.
• 1:53:44
  Hamilton is back and gets the fastball on the outside corner.
• 1:53:47
  It's like one.
• 1:53:48
  One ball, one strike.
• 1:53:50
  This is still a close ballgame.
• 1:53:52
  I think we get a little spoiled by the fact that every game has been so low scoring
• 1:53:56
  and so close.
• 1:53:57
  Here's the pitch down low in the dirt.
• 1:53:59
  Kind of figured out, 2 and 1, that when any team gets a lead of 2 and 1,
• 1:54:04
  you get the feeling that's just a 2-1 pitch.
• 1:54:10
  Hamilton gets back with a very high inside fastball and he's gone to 3 and 1.
• 1:54:14
  Thank you.
• 1:54:20
  Mr. Williams does not want to use Raleigh Singers today.
• 1:54:22
  He's been just pitching so much.
• 1:54:25
  Tomorrow is the final day.
• 1:54:27
  All the top players are going to be in the game.
• 1:54:29
  He'll have to wait for it to come down.
• 1:54:34
  He's got a lot of room.
• 1:54:35
  He's lost his way as Mets and Hazard for the first out of the 10-97.
• 1:54:41
  Just beyond.
• 1:54:44
  We'll hit a final blue fastball to Pete Kennafield back in the fifth inning.
• 1:54:49
  Novena going ahead runs.
• 1:54:51
  Al McCrary in third base.
• 1:54:54
  Back to five flies.
• 1:54:59
  The other time at bat he struck out.
• 1:55:00
  Also a lighter blue fastball.
• 1:55:05
  Al Williams throws in a surprise.
• 1:55:09
  On deck is Tom Hall.
• 1:55:17
  Westhander into the windup and changes on a breaking pitch.
• 1:55:25
  It's down low.
• 1:55:26
  One ball, one strike.
• 1:55:30
  In the Oakland eighth it's the top of the batting order.
• 1:55:33
  The top of the batting order hasn't done much in this World Series.
• 1:55:37
  Half an hour's the loo has been hands up.
• 1:55:39
  One-one and the pitch is again low.
• 1:55:42
  Again a breaking pitch.
• 1:55:43
  Two balls, one strike.
• 1:55:49
  Each team has five hits.
• 1:55:51
  A's committed her arrow.
• 1:55:52
  That did not hurt.
• 1:55:53
  Reds lead the three to one.
• 1:55:56
  Back to the fastballs.
• 1:55:57
  Round ball, eight-hit left field.
• 1:56:04
  Amelan gives up the first base hit.
• 1:56:07
  Tom Hall will be up there.
• 1:56:11
  As the first team on lead I would imagine Tom Hall is up there to move to Pepsi on as this team won the second base and left Pete Rose, who drove in the winning run yesterday, out of bringing home.
• 1:56:23
  Van Mell comes in a third base.
• 1:56:28
  That's team holding it first and preparing to bounce toward the plate of messages.
• 1:56:32
  All left hander battered.
• 1:56:39
  Amelan tears for the sign. Rose waits on deck.
• 1:56:42
  Vando's all the way in now. Hall squares around a good defunct.
• 1:56:46
  Misses at the strike.
• 1:56:50
  Pepsi on the open too far off the bat.
• 1:56:53
  Strike one.
• 1:56:54
  Kubiak is kept behind him hoping that his playoff and tennis could throw him out on a pickoff play.
• 1:57:02
  Now Amelan discusses things with Kavanagh.
• 1:57:05
  Kavanagh told him with so long in the lineup that Vando had moved in so far he had to stop him with over wondering when he was going to pitch.
• 1:57:11
  He was right on top of Hall.
• 1:57:16
  Ready again.
• 1:57:18
  The ball is busy again for the eight. Here's the pitch.
• 1:57:21
  It's missed again. The throw to second base is he's on a roll and he's paced.
• 1:57:25
  He's not going to stick his front end so he's going to be sliding because the throw isn't coming by.
• 1:57:35
  Now Hall with two strikes can swing away.
• 1:57:42
  Yo Holland is the man. The right hander down on the open broke in.
• 1:57:47
  Red bleeding by two hoping to add an insurance run.
• 1:57:51
  Hall can swing away.
• 1:57:54
  Amelan working from the stretch takes something off the pitch and throws it away.
• 1:57:58
  One ball, two strikes. Hall looks down to Alex Sramas, the coach at third base.
• 1:58:06
  A chilly day in Cincinnati.
• 1:58:10
  The average of the 50 is supposed to be warmer but wetter tomorrow.
• 1:58:14
  One, two pitch and he puts something off that and Hall strikes out swinging.
• 1:58:20
  Two feet low.
• 1:58:30
  Rose, you had a great day yesterday. Hasn't had that good a day today.
• 1:58:33
  Half an hour in the hot on the close way in the first inning.
• 1:58:36
  He walks with the throw out, giving him a third and toss to the second base in the middle of the game.
• 1:58:42
  And they're going to put him on to get to the left hander, Joe Morgan.
• 1:58:53
  Some days you can go along and watch the baseball game and there are no real visible moves made by a manager.
• 1:58:59
  In any World Series game this year, you can come and you need to go fast.
• 1:59:05
  Hall three, he's the road.
• 1:59:13
  Amelan still expects the concessional not helping him into Hall four.
• 1:59:18
  The rose of the first, he's just going to check the two out and he's more than one to three on the base.
• 1:59:36
  The Reds trying to come back and make history. They drop their first two at home.
• 1:59:39
  They'd like to come back and win the series. Nobody has ever done that.
• 1:59:47
  He's ready and throws a strike to Morgan on the out front.
• 1:59:53
  Bobby Snowden swinging the bat on Dress.
• 2:00:02
  Amelan throws down the left field on the defender.
• 2:00:06
  He's just one more score. Rudy Hall to pick it up. Here's the third base. And going in on safe, he's two goals.
• 2:00:17
  The ball is being acquired. It's four to one for the Natties.
• 2:00:36
  Here's Amelan, Bobby Holden, the runner's expecting a third.
• 2:00:41
  Zero, two out.
• 2:00:53
  Holden continues to work.
• 2:00:57
  Here's Holden, get on. I'm sure we will see him against Johnny Benz.
• 2:01:01
  He's coming out on deck. Holden drives abundantly on and misses.
• 2:01:06
  Dick Williams just yelled out of the background before that pitch to the first base side and reminded them that they're going right to front with two yards.
• 2:01:16
  Bando is in ahead of the bag. Rose's uniform's fairly dirty after the headlong slide.
• 2:01:21
  Heading down and there's a big touch on a fastball from Amelan with strike two.
• 2:01:28
  The Natties are conceding on three to the left. And all the Natties stole second base.
• 2:01:34
  Well, they put Rose on and then Morgan thrust them up, went off at the field, line drive single to score one.
• 2:01:40
  Morgan went down to second on the third, Rambo paddled the plate. He'll two strikes to call it.
• 2:01:47
  What a game today has with Coen base. They're actually running again and they are winning.
• 2:02:05
  The Natties, Coen stands that back low high. Two strikes, bowled again off the fifth and back to the three.
• 2:02:20
  Four runs now on seven hits to Miller for the reds. One run, five hits and more for the eight. The way it looks now is a maddened winter tomorrow.
• 2:02:36
  Amelan is ready. Off the plate there, Coen's ready. That was a great game. Nothing on the pitch at all and Bobby was able simply to duck down under.
• 2:02:51
  Amelan takes something off there for the four, line drive. This just goes to the end. It's a good way to lose both and four and we've got the favorite margin by far.
• 2:03:06
  Moving off the hit, they're called in the three strike one and they're able to right it in the right field. And for the third game of the world, Coen has broken in two runs.
• 2:03:21
  It's 6-2 on Cimpermatti and here comes Dick Williams. And Gary's going to have to make the change again. Dave Hamilton got ahead of two left-handed batters in a row and then left the ball to the left-hander and got up a little bit.
• 2:03:38
  And a good home margin went the opposite way. Coen, quite in this series, has been able to hit the ball to right field off left-hand pitching. And the speed of Cimpermatti has really turned this thing around.
• 2:03:54
  They have been running almost at will throughout this entire series and just an hour or so at a second base, for instance in this inning, has been such the own going. And the batter has to play doing a pitchers.
• 2:04:08
  It was an easy strike out pitching. If they get the runner at second base and it was close, then the inning is gone. You've got to watch what Bobby told them around here now. They're leading by five runs.
• 2:04:19
  And he might take off again. Shere Harlan's a veteran. He's been around a long time. He has the unusual distinction of having been in three different kinds of World Series.
• 2:04:31
  As a kid, he was in the Pony League World Series with a pitcher for a Texas team around San Antonio, his home. Then as a collegiate, a senior at Oklahoma State University, near Oklahoma A&M, he pitched in the National Collegiate Championship World Series at Omaha and was a winning pitcher in the winning game.
• 2:04:48
  And now here he is, of course, the key to the last time, dreaming of pitching in a World Series, and he inherits the situation, and I'm sure he didn't include in those dreams.
• 2:04:57
  Amel and Woodchip two-thirds of an inning, three runs, three hits, just like out of the walks. Bobby told them what found out as Harlan warmed up.
• 2:05:07
  Major Martin Mikey's first World Series appearance here in the 1972 series. As all of them warmed up, Clark E. Anderson, Ted Kvizhuk, Paul Coleman, all first-rate, yelped to shake his hand.
• 2:05:21
  He walked to the dugout. It took to us. Bobby told them, as Major Ed Dorley's last league game, two RBIs in each of them.
• 2:05:32
  And now, the Cincinnati Picking Staff knows with this five-run ball, the tie or winning run can never come to the plate.
• 2:05:40
  That's the present rate here of five-run deficit. That makes throwing the ball a little bit easier.
• 2:05:46
  And you know, you can throw it this way, 11-hitter, you've got a big ball.
• 2:05:51
  The dugout is going on its first base and he's on his way. Now, it's just me and Brock Hemmett to get this. They took a big lead that time. And then comes back.
• 2:06:03
  Coleman's elevation was thick. He is four to five in elevation. Some kind of two.
• 2:06:12
  Now he's going for real and it's a wild kick. Down the second base he goes.
• 2:06:20
  He's all the way, shooting by Tennyson. Donnelly's down easy.
• 2:06:26
  Not a stolen base. It's a wild kick.
• 2:06:34
  He had a great jump on Donnelly. But the signal we get from the first watch to our left, wild kick.
• 2:06:42
  Now, it's a channel two and oral. Johnny has a line drive and then going to put him on again for the second time in a row.
• 2:06:52
  And he's all the way over.
• 2:06:58
  Now, the likes of Lutton are in a mess. And I've given Donnelly another stolen base. They're two to two.
• 2:07:13
  And there's wild board events. We're lined out on the first home run of the board and the sensors have been locked quite intensively.
• 2:07:20
  And here comes Flair.
• 2:07:29
  Perez is driven in here first.
• 2:07:32
  Run in the three, back in the six inning.
• 2:07:37
  Six to one. All of this was two out. All in throws. Waking pitch, gets away from Tennyson. Donnelly's move up.
• 2:07:54
  Wild pitch. Back to the second.
• 2:08:00
  And the ball is out. The ball is long away. This one bounced in front of the plate. The other one was under the glove of Tennyson.
• 2:08:07
  And the others move up.
• 2:08:11
  Over in Detroit in that big game number four in late inning, Victor Ennis. Joe's curveball broke off for a wild pitch. It really hurt.
• 2:08:19
  So much coming home of curveball. This is upside.
• 2:08:24
  The Reds are really running now. I'm trying to intimidate.
• 2:08:30
  The A's won a five-one lead in this game, but there's tomorrow. And if they can get the A's off balance and shaky about their great base running, that's quite a match to take them into the deciding game.
• 2:08:40
  Another breaking pitch. And that's a swinging strike for Perez.
• 2:08:45
  The ball's one strike.
• 2:08:49
  And this exciting game yesterday, with the A's and the top of the ninth and the bottom of the ninth, kicked themselves right out of a possible win.
• 2:08:56
  And this today was the Reds running wild on the base of my second base. The bottom of the game tomorrow.
• 2:09:01
  Another pitch. It's in the dirt. The one when he moves up. Kind of keeping it going. Curveball and a one goes into the dirt.
• 2:09:10
  If all of them had been breaking on that pitch, he would have scored easily.
• 2:09:15
  It's three and one to Perez. With six to one to score in the last of the seventh.
• 2:09:23
  The first five World Series games have been one-one to Fischer.
• 2:09:38
  And the first one to stand looks close. It's his outside ball for a face is loaded.
• 2:09:48
  For the first time today, Geronimo will come up.
• 2:09:53
  Defensive replacement, Geronimo is two for fifteen and Hick Williams runs out.
• 2:09:57
  Nobody's in the ball pit. He'll save the folks down there for tomorrow, but Williams comes out.
• 2:10:02
  It's 12-0 to KGW Portland.
• 2:10:15
  You don't have to give up good taste to save on calories. Diet rice cola tastes so good, everybody likes it.
• 2:10:37
  On your mark with Jim Simpson and game number six of the World Series. A raise in the driver's seat, six to one.
• 2:10:45
  Geronimo steps in. Three runs for Nick Hinnings. High as the series highs.
• 2:10:50
  And it's a three-run home yesterday, just hear that.
• 2:10:53
  Geronimo's a nice man to pass. That's the ball went inside and a throwback to Fairface.
• 2:10:59
  Now, Colin is claiming that Mel is trying to serve his hand or trying to muscle him off the back to get that in the mouth.
• 2:11:09
  We've not been able to say in any inning of this year's 1972 World Series that this is the nice man to bat in an inning.
• 2:11:15
  Far away the biggest inning in terms of men going to bat.
• 2:11:19
  Faces are loaded and the stick is inside. Whoa! It's two-0.
• 2:11:24
  This wind just turns away.
• 2:11:30
  In the back out.
• 2:11:34
  Paul Rosemarie is looking away. The honor of the age.
• 2:11:40
  More than ready.
• 2:11:42
  Braking, hits, travel, up the line and a slow runner.
• 2:11:45
  Here comes Colvin in.
• 2:11:47
  Hes about his way. And is in. And he takes you on.
• 2:11:52
  The last half of the second, Geronimo.
• 2:11:55
  Off with the field base hit.
• 2:12:13
  Joe Harlan has been guilty of point throwing the ball by the catcher.
• 2:12:23
  The walking man giving up a base hit.
• 2:12:26
  And the pips man up, Nekki, who fouled out the fast inning is up again and takes a breaking pitch down low.
• 2:12:34
  The last is down at second. Geronimo on it first.
• 2:12:38
  And looks now as though we are going to tomorrow and the 7th of the starting game.
• 2:12:43
  Draw it down the left field line, hooking it down and into the seat.
• 2:12:47
  Just in back of the age bullpen where there's absolutely no activity at all.
• 2:12:54
  They'll save everybody for tomorrow.
• 2:12:57
  I would imagine, Ronnie, wherever they're looking around this country, around the world, they're making plans tomorrow to join us at 12.45 Eastern Time because that's it.
• 2:13:05
  And as it just as it was in game number five of the American Playoffs series, John Odom will be handed the ball and say the season is yours.
• 2:13:13
  And Jack Billingham who did such a great job will go for the win.
• 2:13:17
  Billingham was the third of the opener out in open.
• 2:13:21
  And by the way, we'll remind you again, we could have some lane problems tomorrow. Lanes, towers are expected.
• 2:13:28
  On ball one strike, one and throws, Jeff Smith is there. Making steps this way.
• 2:13:36
  Biggest inning of the 1972 World Series. Five runs, ten men go to bat.
• 2:13:45
  Breaking pitch, half an hour. As it handcuff him throws on the first base and gets to man.
• 2:13:51
  From the ten men go to bat. Five runs scored on four base hits. No airs and two passes. The end of seven is it's Jelon Pizzarati.
• 2:14:00
  Hi, Johnny Betts, not catching, but picking for Anko windshield wipers.
• 2:14:04
  Do you know who holds the major league record for most strikeouts?
• 2:14:07
  Brace yourself. It is Mickey Mantle with 1,710.
• 2:14:12
  Of course, Mickey also hit 536 home runs which makes up for those strikeouts.
• 2:14:16
  That's where batters differ from windshield wipers.
• 2:14:19
  Wipers should bat 1,000 every time. In bad weather, snow or rain, your life or your family's life may depend on them.
• 2:14:27
  If your wipers are streaking or blurring, they're striking out and you had better bring on some new heavy hitters.
• 2:14:32
  Like a new set of Anko windshield wiper blades and you'll see the difference the first time they come up for action.
• 2:14:38
  Anko blades are made of pure rubber and are engineered especially for your car's windshield.
• 2:14:43
  You can get Anko blades or refills at most service stations everywhere.
• 2:14:47
  Look for the bright yellow Anko service cabinet. It holds a complete lineup of Anko wipers for every car.
• 2:14:53
  The M-Force, too. But be sure you're getting Anko windshield wipers.
• 2:14:57
  The big league blade by Anderson.
• 2:15:02
  Well, we say hitting is a finger-movementum when one or two men get started in a club that's in a slump.
• 2:15:07
  It can really turn everybody on, particularly in a home park with some 50,000 cheering.
• 2:15:12
  And that's exactly what happened here today.
• 2:15:14
  The Reds got the nickel charge today from Johnny Bench who had not hit the ball long in this entire series.
• 2:15:20
  And he jacked one up into the Luxfield fans to give them an early lead.
• 2:15:25
  The Yays, however, came back to try the ball game and have not been able to score since.
• 2:15:30
  After a fine release at the game of Cincinnati, the Reds lead four ball and now all.
• 2:15:35
  The Yays, when they lost Dale Noles right before the playoff started, knew they were going to have trouble in the bullpen.
• 2:15:42
  And they were hoping for a complete game in a series out of such as Capsaic Hunter and John Odom and Vita Blue as he started here today.
• 2:15:50
  Dick Williams was in strong hopes that Blue might be able to carry it on in.
• 2:15:55
  Vita was not fixing all that badly here today, but the Yays were not scoring because Nolan, who was the most ineffective pitcher so far for Cincinnati, got out of it without being hurt too badly.
• 2:16:06
  It is now Cincinnati leading 8-2 on as we go to the top of the eighth inning, Jensen. And the top of the batting order, Monte,
• 2:16:12
  Campanella to his 3-4-23 in the series and he is 0-4 his last 15 appearances.
• 2:16:20
  Tom Hall throws a strike to him making it.
• 2:16:24
  And on the grass knowing that Campanella wants to get his way on, there's Big Seven Ronsay got to get.
• 2:16:32
  All those deacon throw strikes. This one's in the ditch. Ball one, one, ball one strike.
• 2:16:40
  Nobody in the red bullpen is sparky hopes that he'll never have to put anybody down there. Pave them for tomorrow.
• 2:16:46
  Hall can work leisurely now, throws the pitch off speed to a pass, Mackey. There's Concepcion and what a pull from shortstop. He got it.
• 2:16:59
  That shows that the day Concepcion has got quite an arm. Ball about to pass Mackey. Concepcion was deep at shortstop, came up and then the throw.
• 2:17:06
  And Campanella, remember, not slow, he's very fast. Here's the loose with one for 20 in the series. Has not hit the ball hard at all today.
• 2:17:15
  He retires twice by Morgan at second. Mr. Muddaball, there's Schud like field. High and away with an off-speed breaking pitch by Hall.
• 2:17:23
  Ball one. We are in the eighth. The reds lead the sixth game, eight to one. Looks like we go to the clincher tomorrow.
• 2:17:33
  All back. Line drive on one hop. Concepcion by second fires and has the speedy aloo. The great ball fires. The shortstop of the rim.
• 2:17:47
  Following up Joe Rudy. By the right, left and single to left.
• 2:17:57
  Well, this was a one-nothing ball game, six and ninety in the fourth. Tied in the fifth at one. Reds went ahead in the fifth, two to one.
• 2:18:05
  Reds get ahead in the sixth, three to one and got five in the big seven to make it eight to one. Rudy is five for 20 in the series.
• 2:18:16
  All throws and here's another five. All coming back for the Kimani and hit right in front of it. We've already gotten one today.
• 2:18:24
  That was nearly a second. I don't do to my right too well out of these boots.
• 2:18:32
  Remarkably wins today. The CKM beer of the Jumbo Four Seals. A labor to win two games in the one series and a second to win consecutive games.
• 2:18:43
  Drive to right field. Bobby's holding over very quickly. Joyous speed in the halls.
• 2:18:47
  It's a five-go on Zip-to-error. He's armed with the middle of the eighth inning and the reds have the commanding eight to one lead.
• 2:18:58
  Hey, are you one of those guys who turns into a rough neck every morning? The shaving leaves your neck rough and irritated?
• 2:19:05
  If it does, let me tell you about a special kind that you're left holding.
• 2:19:08
  Face Saver specially made for you rough neck. Face Saver has 25% more lubricant than any other foamy jade green.
• 2:19:16
  For better protection against shaving irritation even on the most sensitive part of your face, your neck.
• 2:19:22
  So if shaving irritates your neck, get Foamy Face Saver or the Rough Neck.
• 2:19:29
  Do you believe an anti-push one can smell just like a crisp clear fall rain? Probably not, but there's a new one that comes pretty close.
• 2:19:36
  It's Right Guard Natural Scent Anti-Push Lint and it smells fresh and clean because the scent's made from real natural ingredients.
• 2:19:44
  About as far from the heavy artificial smells of other anti-push lints that you can get.
• 2:19:48
  And it's Right Guard so your normal helps keep you dry all day.
• 2:19:52
  Right Guard Natural Scent, not exactly the scent of an autumn day, but about as natural as an anti-push lint can get.
• 2:20:00
  Well, Joe Horland, pictures here in the last half of game number eight, the fifth and anti-risk.
• 2:20:08
  Finally showing their quantity of speed, they got the men on base and just the great momentum they generated got the big base hit.
• 2:20:15
  And they are well out in front of the Oakland A's and let's suggest we're going to have a big game number seven here tomorrow.
• 2:20:20
  And Jesse Arnott was born for two, drove in on number five with a sacrifice line drive at deep center.
• 2:20:26
  Single and short on number seven and in the Oakland A's, two fine throws from shortstop.
• 2:20:31
  That's the breaking distance Horland strike one.
• 2:20:34
  Jesse Arnott will be followed by Pitcher Tom Hall who kneels on deck.
• 2:20:42
  Horland back and throws the big curve at Jim Saatch as Jesse Arnott leans back away from it.
• 2:20:47
  That's the Bando and Manuel scheduled in the A's night with a tough roll to hold.
• 2:20:53
  Seven runs.
• 2:20:55
  Horland throws another breaking pitch inside.
• 2:20:58
  Devolved one strike to concept young.
• 2:21:01
  Dillingham and Odom, tomorrow's starters, both are light-handers.
• 2:21:09
  Two on count, fastball and he swings and misses, strikes two, two balls, two strikes.
• 2:21:18
  Well this started out, World Series, A's winning two here, then out in Oakland.
• 2:21:25
  The visitors were able to one two out of three and today back home,
• 2:21:29
  the situation is a tie that three games a season.
• 2:21:32
  Five left field, back throws Woody, near the wall and bounce off the wall and passing it.
• 2:21:37
  And concept young steams for the second base.
• 2:21:39
  He's going to try for third if Woody hasn't run to the ball yet.
• 2:21:42
  Now comes up and doesn't make the throw.
• 2:21:44
  And in with the tibble.
• 2:21:47
  Woody went to the wall and it simply bounced and passed it.
• 2:21:57
  I think you would have to say that this is not the day of the Oakland I've Loved.
• 2:22:02
  The pitching has not been that effective.
• 2:22:05
  Their offense has generated but one run and defensively they have had problems.
• 2:22:13
  Only one error shows but they must have had a couple of balls in the outfield.
• 2:22:18
  Here's Hall and he's swinging away with the set yard serve.
• 2:22:25
  The end field of the A's has been drawn in.
• 2:22:31
  Hall's swinging, any kind of ground ball at all might get through.
• 2:22:38
  And this is the chest foul off the back of home plate.
• 2:22:47
  Well last night not many people got sleep because they had to climb from the west coast.
• 2:22:51
  We got in very early this morning.
• 2:22:52
  Tonight not many people get sleep.
• 2:22:54
  They're going to be worried about tomorrow.
• 2:22:56
  Here's a two-side count foul tipped off the master center.
• 2:23:02
  One thing that woke up the red bats.
• 2:23:06
  That's right.
• 2:23:12
  Two strikes.
• 2:23:17
  Hall just swinging that bat now away so they're all in pitch.
• 2:23:20
  It's the curve ball live to the first base for F.T.
• 2:23:23
  What a help.
• 2:23:25
  He called that ball and F.T. had to make a wide lead to get the robin overhead.
• 2:23:31
  Here's Pete Low.
• 2:23:33
  He's in the second base today but he's pulled around and it's a lost life.
• 2:23:41
  Rose awakened the red yesterday.
• 2:23:45
  They were down three games to one and he let off that ball game with a home run.
• 2:23:49
  The reds were in the ball game.
• 2:23:50
  Then he drove in the winning run in the ninth inning to make it three games to two.
• 2:23:54
  Here they are about to fire two juries.
• 2:23:58
  Breaking pitch, curve ball, strike one to Rose.
• 2:24:05
  Another seven game world series.
• 2:24:10
  Strike one to another breaking pitch.
• 2:24:13
  Get to the outside corner.
• 2:24:14
  Two strikes to Pete Low.
• 2:24:18
  One out, concepts young, two over to the base.
• 2:24:23
  I'm not quite sure what Rose will do is get on the artificial turf in front of the back of third.
• 2:24:31
  He took the flag and struck out and concepts young dives back to third base,
• 2:24:35
  expecting a throw but it was up.
• 2:24:41
  Here is Morgan.
• 2:24:43
  He really got things going back in the seventh inning.
• 2:24:47
  They want Rose to get to Morgan because he's a left-hander batter.
• 2:24:51
  Morgan gets the left-hander to take the hammer of that time but he lined it off at the field.
• 2:24:56
  They scored a couple of runs and he went to second on the throw and later scored on the base hit.
• 2:25:04
  Now the pitchers.
• 2:25:05
  This is from the 12th left.
• 2:25:06
  These are honestly so short of covering and they are out of the inning.
• 2:25:09
  The runs one hit, no errors and concepts young are crossing home plate but the run of course does not count.
• 2:25:15
  Well, the A's have one more chance.
• 2:25:17
  We go to the top of the ninth, sixth and eighth.
• 2:25:23
  Let me tell you about some products I sell very proudly.
• 2:25:27
  Chrysler's and Plymouth's.
• 2:25:30
  You know why I love them?
• 2:25:31
  They are constantly striving to make stronger cars, safer cars, better cars that run better than any they have ever built.
• 2:25:41
  They all have something in common too.
• 2:25:44
  Engineering care.
• 2:25:46
  It goes into every Chrysler and every Plymouth.
• 2:25:50
  That new mid-sized satellite, C-Bring Plus for instance, that's some car.
• 2:25:55
  And they tell me the new Chrysler is the quietest Chrysler ever.
• 2:26:00
  And the new Plymouth Fury.
• 2:26:02
  Wow, there's a beautiful car.
• 2:26:05
  And part of the beauty of it is the way it fights rust and corrosion with all sorts of rust preventatives.
• 2:26:12
  See these new Chrysler's and Plymouth.
• 2:26:14
  That's your Chrysler Plymouth dealer, won't you?
• 2:26:18
  Chrysler Plymouth.
• 2:26:20
  Extra care in engineering.
• 2:26:21
  It makes a difference.
• 2:26:25
  In Cincinnati, Marty Moore with Jim Simpson.
• 2:26:28
  And the story's eight to one.
• 2:26:30
  The Reds have 10 base hits.
• 2:26:31
  The A's have five.
• 2:26:32
  And Mike Epstein has just made a fine defensive play.
• 2:26:36
  The end that last half inning comes around to try to get something going for the A's.
• 2:26:40
  They have a long road to hold this day in the cotton fields.
• 2:26:43
  Epstein has a long road to hold.
• 2:26:45
  He is over 15.
• 2:26:46
  He struck out twice swinging today and down the road.
• 2:26:48
  And all the left-handers facing Epstein the left-hander.
• 2:26:51
  First pitch is outside, ball one.
• 2:26:53
  Again tomorrow, Jack Billingham for the Reds.
• 2:26:55
  Blue Moon Oldham for the A's.
• 2:26:57
  And then everybody else available.
• 2:27:01
  Now the final game of the season, that's for sure.
• 2:27:03
  There goes the bat and the ball to the right side.
• 2:27:05
  The ball is fair.
• 2:27:06
  The bat is foul.
• 2:27:07
  And the ball is what counts until Epstein is out.
• 2:27:10
  First pitch at the ball and steps on first base.
• 2:27:16
  Now Mike goes back to thinking about tomorrow's seventh and final game of the series,
• 2:27:19
  realizing that he has not had a base hit in 16 official trips to the plate.
• 2:27:24
  And today he struck out twice and drowned at the full air flight.
• 2:27:29
  The Reds are two outs away from swearing the series.
• 2:27:32
  Here is Bando who has two base hits, scored the only run and has fouled out.
• 2:27:37
  Next one, foul, Reds comes over, says he's got it and has a fair of two outs.
• 2:27:43
  The Reds are an out away.
• 2:27:47
  One swearing the series at three games a week after losing the first two here at home.
• 2:27:56
  Games like this, you remember what happened yesterday in the ninth
• 2:27:59
  when feeling judgment on the thought of Raleigh Fingers allowed the Reds to stay in the ball game in the ninth
• 2:28:06
  and go ahead and score the go-ahead run.
• 2:28:08
  And then when Odom tried to score from third base in the last of the night
• 2:28:12
  with a time run he was thrown out on the ball.
• 2:28:14
  It was hot-fied Justin back to first base.
• 2:28:17
  Those decisions, plus today's 8-1 ball game, will send us through seventh game.
• 2:28:24
  And well, who is 1-3 takes the strike at the knees.
• 2:28:33
  Many of the Cincinnati fans are beginning to leave, thinking they'll come back tomorrow for the finale.
• 2:28:38
  There's a ball punched down the right field line and it is a fair ball.
• 2:28:42
  Mangrelle is on her way around first and stops right there as Geronimo is over the corner and up very quickly.
• 2:28:48
  And with two outs and turning 8-1 in the ninth, that is not the time to take a chance.
• 2:28:54
  Mangrelle simply held up his first base hit.
• 2:28:58
  The first base hit off Tom Wall.
• 2:29:02
  And he has retired six men in a row.
• 2:29:05
  Here's Gene Tennis.
• 2:29:08
  All for three today, Bill Coleman very deep in the fifth inning with his best blast of the day.
• 2:29:17
  Tennis takes the pitch high from Tom Wall, ball one.
• 2:29:22
  Every time this man steps up you've got to wonder whether or not he's going to set a World Series record hitting a fifth on one.
• 2:29:31
  Pitch is on the outside corner, good fast ball from Hall.
• 2:29:34
  Strike one, one ball, one strike.
• 2:29:40
  Low 45 Eastern, John Dremar with the Sevilleton's punching game on NBC Radio.
• 2:29:46
  And there's a change that stays high.
• 2:29:49
  Pitch two balls, one strike to Gene Tennis.
• 2:29:55
  As Gene Tennis has seven RBI's, Coleman in the last three games has picked up six.
• 2:30:02
  Look at this.
• 2:30:05
  Already, cocked up, foul, bench comes back.
• 2:30:08
  It'll be too far back if John holds onto that mask as the ball does into the seat.
• 2:30:19
  Well, the American and National League have alternated the World Series championships since 1965.
• 2:30:27
  And last year it was the Pirates who won.
• 2:30:32
  The ball's two strikes.
• 2:30:34
  Manuel Vey shall beat our first base, not being held there.
• 2:30:37
  Ground ball up the middle, finally flagged down by conceptually the cat, Manuel steps it second.
• 2:30:43
  And the A's are still alive as Tennis gets the base hit.
• 2:30:50
  Now Ted Kubiak will come up for the first time.
• 2:30:54
  Kubiak, a late inning replacement, has been in three ball games but only about twice as an infield hit.
• 2:31:04
  Kubiak, a quick hitter, gets to the right side to face the left-hander Tom Hall.
• 2:31:08
  8-2 on the score since Matty went in the ninth inning.
• 2:31:12
  Also, the strike right down the middle.
• 2:31:17
  A good release pitcher does when he's got this big a lead, he simply fires strikes.
• 2:31:21
  Dare him to hit it. Somebody will catch it someday.
• 2:31:25
  Back again with a swinging strike this time and Kubiak is down 0-2.
• 2:31:35
  All of the new baseball, Manuel is second. Tennis is first.
• 2:31:48
  Tom Hall, dear Jim, dear Fackett, Manuel is second.
• 2:31:51
  Now throws and there's the ground ball to third base.
• 2:31:53
  Manky will step on third.
• 2:31:56
  Ball game is over.
• 2:31:58
  The final three games to one have evened the ball in this inning.
• 2:32:11
  No runs to it, no errors and two men left.
• 2:32:14
  The final score is the sixth game of the World Series Cincinnati 8 Open Walk.
