  The Detroit Tigers faced the Oakland Athletics for a Tuesday afternoon game at Oakland Alameda County Coliseum on August 24th, 1982.
• 0:15
  Detroit came into the game with a 64-60 record under manager Sparky Anderson.
• 0:20
  But excitement around the Tigers was on the rise.
• 0:23
  The team had finished in second place during the strike-shortened 1981 season
• 0:27
  and was anchored by a solid core of youngsters including Jack Morris, Lance Parrish, Alan Trammell, Lou Whitaker, Kirk Gibson, and newcomer Chet Lemon,
• 0:37
  who had been acquired in the offseason and a trade to the White Sox for Steve Kemp.
• 0:41
  Oakland had lost to the Yankees in the ALCS in 1981 and were now struggling in 1982,
• 0:47
  entering the game with a 56-70 record under manager Billy Martin, in which would prove to be his final year with the A's.
• 0:54
  This audio recording is from the Detroit Radio broadcast featuring the legendary announcers Ernie Harwell and Paul Carey.
• 1:24
  The Yankees are in the lead with a
• 1:27
  1-2 pitch coming to Lou Whitaker.
• 1:31
  He all works off the third base side of the slant, feet close together, gets his sign from Heath, winds and pitches, and Whitaker hits a foul out of play in the seats down the lower.
• 1:42
  Wilson and Herndon are set to follow here in the opening inning. Each of those had home runs in the game last night, as the Tigers took the opening game of the two-game set.
• 1:55
  Keogh delivers, Whitaker swings and misses on a high hard one, struck him out.
• 2:01
  Glenn Wilson will be the Tiger batter.
• 2:17
  Young Settafielder has impressed a lot of observers since he came up from Evansville.
• 2:26
  Last night he had a home run, a single and a one, ended up with a two for four.
• 2:33
  Picked up a couple of our RBIs. Here's a line shot right to the glove of Gross, 40-ounce.
• 2:39
  The ball hit about as hard as anybody can hit one, but Gross was standing right in its path and he gloved it.
• 2:45
  Two down, Herndon steps up for the Tigers.
• 2:50
  Barry batting 292. 19 home runs and 69 RBIs.
• 2:59
  One of his home runs last night, he also had a single last evening.
• 3:03
  Right-hand batter backs off, it's in too close from the right-hand pitching Keogh.
• 3:09
  Jim and Kim and Joshua Cooper from Toledo, Tiger fans, here today.
• 3:16
  There's a foul back into the seat.
• 3:20
  Had a good bit of morning fog and overcast, it burned off about an hour before game time.
• 3:26
  And now the skies are clear and the sun is bright in Northern California.
• 3:31
  Herndon takes and pitches in close to the knee.
• 3:36
  Two and one, the County Tiger left fielder.
• 3:43
  Keogh into action, delivers. Swing and a foul back to the screen, 2-2 the count on Larry Herndon.
• 3:51
  The Tigers now have won seven and lost one against the Oakland team this year.
• 3:55
  They've handled them fairly easily.
• 4:00
  Jack Hummel out of the ballpark, the former Tiger trainer recovering from his hernia operation and in good shape.
• 4:08
  Herndon swings and the Nubs won foul at the plate.
• 4:14
  And McRiley wants to inspect the ball, he says it's alright, he'll keep it in play.
• 4:19
  2-2 the count on Herndon. Another visitor today was Charlie Silberich, one-time Tiger coach.
• 4:28
  Working here with the Oakland A's now.
• 4:35
  Here's the motion by Matt Keogh, he pitches and Herndon hits a fly ball to the right.
• 4:40
  Armuth comes in and near the line running hard, makes the catch.
• 4:44
  And the Tigers go 1-2-3 in the first.
• 4:47
  In the half, fitting, those goals.
• 4:49
  This is Ernie Harwell and I'm pleased to have the Detroit Free Press as a sponsor of our 1982 Tiger broadcast.
• 4:56
  You know I have a lot of friends who've been Free Press fans for years.
• 4:59
  And the first thing they do when they get up in the morning is to turn the sports section of the Free Press.
• 5:04
  Creating the sports section is like having an instant replay right there at your breakfast table.
• 5:08
  Especially their baseball coverage.
• 5:10
  When it comes to baseball, the Free Press is in a league by itself.
• 5:14
  Complete, concise, interesting, informative.
• 5:17
  Did you know that they devote an entire page just to baseball every day of the week?
• 5:21
  You don't find that kind of coverage in many newspapers, but the Free Press has it.
• 5:26
  And I guess that's one reason why the Free Press is Michigan's first newspaper for sports.
• 5:31
  Get the Free Press delivered to your doorstep. Phone 222-6500.
• 5:36
  That number again, 222-6500.
• 5:40
  The Free Press. First. When you need it most.
• 5:45
  Thousands of people have gotten a slice of the good life.
• 5:48
  The exciting instant lottery game.
• 5:51
  But what about you? Are you one of those who think most of the prizes have been won by now?
• 5:56
  Point of fact, there are still millions of winning tickets left, including instant winners of $25,000.
• 6:03
  And the grand prize?
• 6:05
  A thousand dollars a week every week for the rest of your life.
• 6:09
  So don't miss your chance at the good life.
• 6:11
  Your chances were never better.
• 6:14
  Brought to you by the Michigan Lottery.
• 6:26
  Well, the Tiger rookie right-handed Jerry Ujjer heating up now. Jerry's won seven games in the last six. This is his 17th start.
• 6:36
  Talking about rookies. The Boston Braves won here back in 1937. Had two rookies who were 20-game winners.
• 6:45
  You don't find that very often. Lou Fetty and Jim Turner.
• 6:49
  You remember Jim a good bit later on was a coach for many years with the New York Yankees until he retired down to his home state of Tennessee.
• 6:59
  Ricky Henderson who is in the spotlight these days because of the way he's chasing Lou Brock's record.
• 7:06
  He's sent to break it. He's only three away from a tie at the moment. And he'll be leading off against Jerry Ujjer.
• 7:15
  There's a hand for Henderson as he's announced on the public address system.
• 7:20
  Batting 271, he has eight home runs and 45 RBI. He's walked 105 times.
• 7:27
  Already with about six weeks to go. Right-hander against the right-hander. No score for his fitting.
• 7:32
  And Ricky takes a ball low. Ball one.
• 7:41
  Jerry Ujjer trying to hold him off now. Here's the windup by Jerry. He delivers a low one.
• 7:47
  You may have heard Dan Petrie talking on our free game interview about how tough Henderson is to pitch to.
• 7:53
  Where that's the shrinking strike zone of his. The way he hits in the crouch.
• 7:58
  That's a good bit away from the plate. Right-hander against the right-hander. The 2-0 pitch.
• 8:04
  And Ujjer fires one outside. That ball three.
• 8:07
  And of course it's got to be in the back of the pitcher's mind. Don't walk this guy.
• 8:12
  And he turns around and right now he's within one pitcher putting him on.
• 8:17
  Jerry gets his sign, works again. Here it comes and he takes the strike. Got a fast ball over.
• 8:30
  Three-one, the count on the leadoff man, Ricky Henderson. He's attracted a large board of photographers down there.
• 8:37
  The motion and the pitch by Ujjer. He takes a walk. Ball four.
• 8:42
  Well we'll see the test right away from Bill Fahey. Diving for Lance Parrott.
• 8:52
  Gross will be the batter. One thing about hitting behind Ricky Henderson you'll find is the amount of fast balls.
• 8:59
  Ujjer has been using a change-up breaking pitch against left-hand hitters.
• 9:05
  Now whether he'll do it with Henderson on or not, we'll have to wait and see.
• 9:08
  Gross is hitting 247. Six home runs in 30 RBI.
• 9:13
  Leach holding on the bag with Ricky Henderson.
• 9:17
  You can hear the crowd beginning its rhythmic applause here as he fits DeGroce.
• 9:21
  Ricky with the lead. He goes. The pitch is high. Here's the throw by Fahey. Not in time.
• 9:26
  So and Fahey's number 116.
• 9:30
  Henderson has told everybody that he wants to break a leg of his home before they leave for the steps of Milwaukee.
• 9:45
  Now Gross out of the batter's box. That pitch to DeGroce was a ball.
• 10:03
  The Tigers really expect Henderson to go all the time.
• 10:09
  Stop being very subtle about it. He just takes off and goes.
• 10:14
  Now he's trying to get a lead in the second base. Ujjer appearing in to get the sign from Fahey.
• 10:20
  Jerry Setsun deals and it is a ball all the way. Ball two on Gross.
• 10:30
  After Wayne it'll be Dwayne Murphy.
• 10:36
  Malfield is straight up on Gross. He's a long ball threat.
• 10:40
  No score first inning. The Tigers went out one, two, three.
• 10:44
  Henderson led up with a walk here for the A's and stole second base.
• 10:51
  Now a 2-0 situation. Here's the set by Ujjer and the bluffs and Henderson handles back toward second base.
• 11:03
  I sure would like to have seen Ujjer throw the first when Henderson got the bag. He had a lead over there.
• 11:09
  I don't think he could have gotten back to the bag with any decent toss at first.
• 11:13
  Now here's the set again by Jerry ready to deal. The pitch to Gross is a low one and the Count is ball three.
• 11:23
  Henderson generally gets by with sheer speed. He doesn't worry as much as some base runners have in the past.
• 11:29
  Some great stealers about pitchers moves or establishing leads and all those other little
• 11:37
  things that come with stealing. He depends on his speed.
• 11:41
  There's a ball low and Gross has a walk. So Ujjer has walked two and sets the table for Dwayne Murphy, the left-handed batting setter fielder.
• 11:53
  Murphy batting 2-43. He's up there near the top on his club at home runs with 18. He has 75 RBI.
• 12:02
  He's the team leader in that department. Here comes Roger Craig out now. He wants to try to settle Ujjer down a little bit here in the first inning.
• 12:13
  Ujjer went five and a third innings in Anaheim and got the Tiger 8-6 victory over Ken Foch his last time out.
• 12:24
  That was last Friday night.
• 12:33
  Well the confab's over at the mound and Mr. Craig goes back to the dugout.
• 12:38
  The A's have a first inning threat thanks to a couple of walks. Tigers are pulling their end field up a little bit.
• 12:46
  And here's Dwayne Murphy at the plate. Now field is straight up and deep on Murphy.
• 12:56
  He stands a little more forward in the batter's box than most hitters.
• 13:01
  Ujjer sets and deals and it is a pitch out but the runners aren't moving. Ball one.
• 13:07
  They have put 15 doubles still so far this year.
• 13:25
  Here's the set. There's a throw to second and he is back safely.
• 13:30
  Camel ducks behind the runner Henderson and he slid back head first. Ricky makes all his slides head first.
• 13:42
  Now he edges off the bag. Lincolns that lead.
• 13:46
  Gross comes off first. Here's the set by Ujjer and a pitch all the way. It is a strike on the outside corner. One and one.
• 14:05
  Ujjer has no 1982 record against this team. In fact he has no career record against them.
• 14:17
  Murphy waits on the one-one delivery from Jerry. They go to the runners. They pitch his end tie for the third. He saves.
• 14:26
  Number 117 for Ricky Henderson. One short of time record. Gross failed in and picked up the back end of the double field.
• 14:45
  So that's three steals in this inning by the A's to by Ricky Henderson. One more and he will tie the all-time record set by Blue Rock.
• 15:03
  Man on second, man on third. The Tigers will play their end field back and it is a 2-1 count on Murphy.
• 15:21
  He's a set the pitch. It is a low one and Henderson is coming home. On the third goes Gross. The ball knocked down by May and it'll be scores a wild pitch.
• 15:35
  Knocked down by Bill. It bounced over to his left and the runners moved up one. Henderson gets a run.
• 15:41
  Gross takes third, one to nothing Oakland in the opening inning. And they have scored on two walks, steals and a wild pitch.
• 15:57
  End field are still staying back for the Tigers and the count is three and a one on Dwayne Murphy. Now Gross comes down the line.
• 16:07
  Here's the wind up by Uger. The pitch is a ball in the dirt. He walked in. That'll be the third straight walk up Jerry.
• 16:20
  Tony Armis will be the next man to bat. And the young Dave Rucker, the California left-hander, throwing in the both-man for the Tigers.
• 16:36
  End field playing back in double play depth on Tony Armis. Tony batting 240. 21 home runs and 69 RBI. Outfield is deep and straight up.
• 16:50
  The pitch to him is a low one and a good pick up by Fahey. Uger has had trouble locating the plate. It started when Henderson was up.
• 16:59
  He walked to Ricky, walked to Gross, walked to Murphy. The steals stand with Jim between and the Tigers find themselves behind one to nothing in the opening inning.
• 17:15
  Cabell came over the mound. Fahey went out to try to settle down the pitcher.
• 17:28
  Murphy has won for the last 17 times at bat. Right hand about a wedding. Here's the pitch and it is a ball and the runner first to Murphy goes.
• 17:39
  He'll make it easy. Now that'll be a steal for Murphy. It'll be the fourth steal of this inning.
• 17:55
  Murphy's got 24 of them.
• 18:02
  Armis steps away. They've got the infield still back with the runners down at second and third.
• 18:10
  Uger looking to third base and here's the pitch on the way. It is a strike on the outside corner.
• 18:16
  Didn't Gross steal home against the Tigers a couple of years ago? Yes he did. Jack Morris, wasn't it?
• 18:21
  Jack worked from the line up and Gross came in. A man who generally you don't count on as being a super base stealer.
• 18:30
  Armis still waiting. Gross down the line and the pitch is swung on at the left field. It is a foul ball into the bullpen.
• 18:40
  Almost a relief to see the bat make contact with the ball.
• 18:45
  Yeah you figure the Tigers might have a better chance. That's right.
• 18:51
  That's a crazy inning so far. The Tigers went out one, two, three.
• 18:55
  And now the Oakland A's that scored a run without the benefit of a hit or an error for that matter.
• 19:01
  And they've got runners at second and third and nobody down.
• 19:05
  And Armis at the plate and Tony swings up a ground ball to short.
• 19:09
  Trammell will go to first base with it. Armis is out. Gross scores and on to third goes Murphy.
• 19:15
  To nothing Oakland, the man at third one down. RBI for Armis on the bounce out to Allen Trammell.
• 19:22
  Number four, Dan Meyer.
• 19:25
  It's Danny Meyer the ex-Tiger playing first base.
• 19:34
  How field is straight up on Danny? Maybe a little bit over to the right field side on him.
• 19:41
  Batting 265 and he has eight home runs. 57 RBI's. It is a ball low.
• 19:50
  Murphy bluffing down the line from third on that pitch from Jerry Ujua to Danny Meyer.
• 19:55
  To nothing Oakland leads first inning.
• 20:05
  There's a bounding foul down toward the Tiger bullpen past first base.
• 20:17
  Meyer just safely in file of the last six games.
• 20:32
  Always a threat at the plate. Danny Meyer left hand about a waiting. Here's a bit. He takes a wide one.
• 20:40
  Two on the count on him. Remember that Meyer started out of the Tiger system with Bristol and really burned up the league that first minor league season.
• 20:49
  He hit 396 that year.
• 20:54
  Murphy down the line from third. Now Ujua may work off the set position this time. Let's see.
• 21:03
  Looking in now he goes for the stretch. Looks to third. He pitches. Meyer swings and misses at a low fastball.
• 21:11
  And the count on Danny is 2-2.
• 21:17
  He'll be followed by Davy Lopes.
• 21:31
  Ujua to the stretch again.
• 21:34
  And the pitch on the way. Swung on it to set a field deep. Wilson goes back.
• 21:39
  He's being tagged by Murphy. Wilson makes the catch.
• 21:43
  Murphy comes home. It's a sacrifice from Meyer. A 3-0 lead for the Oakland team.
• 21:49
  They have picked up three without a hit. The first three men walked and all three have crossed the plate.
• 22:00
  Davy Lopes will be the next Oakland hitter.
• 22:06
  Davy batting 2-5-3 with 11 homers. 36 runs batted in.
• 22:17
  Davy had a single and four turns against Dan Peetree at the opening game last night.
• 22:25
  Wind up by Ujua and the right-hander fires a fastball low. Ball one.
• 22:37
  Lopes cuts and balls it back into the seat behind the plate.
• 22:49
  Peetree's jumping out in front. 3-0 in the opening inning.
• 22:55
  Here's the motion now by Ujua. The pitch on the way. Swung on a line drive right to Cabela third for the final out.
• 23:02
  It's three runs on a no-hit. There were no errors. Nobody left. That would be it. One inning. Oakland 3-0.
• 23:09
  There are a number of insurance companies who use the word farm or farmers as part of their names.
• 23:14
  It's probably because many companies started in business insuring farms, ranches, people, and vehicles in the agricultural regions of our country.
• 23:22
  But there is only one organization with the name of Farmers Insurance Group, FIG.
• 23:28
  You may recognize their farmers agent commitment to always be fast, fair, and friendly.
• 23:34
  Or you may recognize the name of a farmers agent. These dedicated agents work and live near you.
• 23:40
  They are active in community affairs because they know that their success is tied to the success of the community.
• 23:47
  And they realize that their business is totally dependent upon satisfied farmers policyholders.
• 23:53
  Farmers and farmers agents work constantly to keep the cost of insurance down and the amount of protection up.
• 23:59
  An epsilon, he gave a call to Nick Brooks, 485-3880.
• 24:04
  Insult, Lion Tom Groom, 437-5309.
• 24:10
  Meet the enemy of your spark plug.
• 24:16
  Gas robbing sooty carbon.
• 24:20
  Motorcraft spark plugs fight the enemy.
• 24:23
  With Motorcraft's extended tip design plugs, carbon is burned away in normal driving in properly tuned cars.
• 24:29
  Motorcraft spark plugs from Ford for the future of your car for sure.
• 24:34
  In Taylor, look for Eureka Auto Supply on Eureka Road.
• 24:37
  And in Wixom, see Wixom Auto Supply on North Wixom Road.
• 24:41
  People who know quality know the Honey Baked Ham.
• 24:44
  A ham so good it'll haunt you till it's gone.
• 24:47
  Honey Baked Ham in Detroit, Roseville, Troy and in Grand Rapids.
• 24:50
  The Honey Baked Ham Company.
• 24:54
  Mike Ivey will be leading off with the Tigers now, they went out 1-2-3 in the first inning against the right-hander Matt Keough.
• 25:02
  Ivey in the game last night hit the ball hard but didn't have a hit.
• 25:06
  First two times up he hit the long hard drives caught by the outfielders.
• 25:12
  Ivey, Cabell and Leach will be testing Keough and it is a 3-0 lead for Oakland.
• 25:18
  The Tigers are adding in the second.
• 25:21
  Here's a slow pitch to Mike, it's a little bit low ball one.
• 25:25
  The outfield deeps it up on him and the infield also backs.
• 25:30
  Keough right-hands one of the plates and Ivey takes the strike on the outside corner.
• 25:35
  Talking about hard hit balls, Burke shot and used to keep a scorecard when he managed to dodge it.
• 25:41
  And if you hit the ball hard you got credit just as much as if the ball had fallen in for a hit.
• 25:46
  Here's the pitch and it is swung on and Leach still has the base hit by Ivey.
• 25:51
  He reached out on that slow pitch and the line fell up to you for a single.
• 25:56
  This shot didn't pay too much attention to the actual box score.
• 26:00
  The ball was hit there on the line drive to third base.
• 26:03
  He figured that was good as a ball hit hard that wasn't caught in his scorecard.
• 26:08
  Here's Cabell coming into the mat.
• 26:13
  Tigers have a man on and nobody down, they trail free nothing.
• 26:16
  Enos didn't get a hit last night, he went 0 for 4.
• 26:20
  His batting average is 265.
• 26:25
  Couple of home runs, 32 RBIs with a lanky right-hand batter.
• 26:29
  He pops this one up, it's over to the second base position.
• 26:33
  He's under it, he gloves it and holding it first is Ivey.
• 26:44
  Cliff Johnson, the big first baseman DH of his Oakland team calls Mike Ivey ivory.
• 26:50
  Mike says he's been calling me that ever since I came to the big league.
• 26:58
  Here's Leach ready to step in now, 3-0 Oakland.
• 27:01
  Tigers have a man on and the man out in their second inning.
• 27:03
  Leach did not get a hit last night, he went 0 for 2.
• 27:06
  Had a couple of walks, batting 224 and he takes the ball outside.
• 27:14
  Rick has three homers, he's knocked in 12 runs this season.
• 27:19
  Outfield a right on him, key out and it is, it is a strike, a fast ball in above the knee.
• 27:27
  Here's Sam Wynip from Farmington Hills, out to see this series.
• 27:34
  Now the set by Matney pitches, slow curve, hangs outside.
• 27:42
  He's got a pretty good fast ball but you see him throw a lot of slow curves and a lot of sliders.
• 27:49
  He's another excellent fielder.
• 27:56
  Here's a tall right hander, kicks and deals.
• 27:58
  Here's a high fly ball, deep right it may go foul, down in the right field corner.
• 28:03
  It is a foul ball, a long one but foul.
• 28:07
  Let's pause briefly for station identification.
• 28:10
  This is a Detroit Tiger baseball netball.
• 28:12
  You're listening to the Detroit Tigers flagship station, the 50,000 watt voice of the Great Lakes.
• 28:17
  This is AM 76 WJR Detroit.
• 28:27
  A long, loud strike on Rick Leach.
• 28:31
  He hit that one way back of the seat but he pulled it foul by about 10 feet.
• 28:35
  Throwing a lap to try again, 2-2 the count on him.
• 28:38
  Key out of the set position pitches.
• 28:41
  It's a strike called, he's sitting there like that by the side of the road and watch that one go by.
• 28:47
  Stuck him out.
• 28:48
  The second strike out for the Oakland right hander, Key O.
• 28:54
  Here comes Len Jones who contributed to the Tiger attack last night with singles his last two times up.
• 29:01
  2 for 4 in the Tiger victory over Oakland yesterday.
• 29:09
  It is a fast ball out and then ball on.
• 29:18
  Here's the set now by Key O.
• 29:21
  He pitches, there's his slider in for a strike.
• 29:24
  One and one.
• 29:25
  Key O will throw a screwball but he'll use that mostly against the left-handed.
• 29:31
  And the Tigers think he'll throw the slip ball once in a while.
• 29:35
  Here's a ball low, 2 and 1.
• 29:38
  Most teams figure most of the ace pitchers throw spitters.
• 29:43

• 39:14
  Ricky Henderson. He walked the second and third game home on a wild pitch in the first inning.

• 39:40

• 40:15
  Two out of man and second base that he's leading off second. Here's the set by Jerry Uger and Henderson takes a breaking ball low ball to get the feeling that some of the strategy is predicated on getting Henderson on base with nobody in front of him.
• 40:37
  He's got a big lead off second now. A gigantic lead and they pitched to Henderson as a strike. He took a fastball through there.
• 40:51

  Three nothing A's they scored without a hit and a first inning on three walks, four stolen bases, a wild pitch and a bounce on the sacrifice fly.
• 1:02:11
  All contributing to the three runs.
• 1:02:13
  Cabell checks his swing and fouls it back.
• 1:02:18
  Two strikes on E.
• 1:02:31
  Herndon at first with a leadoff single.
• 1:02:33
  Ivy is hit a pop out to right field and now Cabell with a two strike count.
• 1:02:39
  They pitch to Enos fouled back into the stands up behind the Tiger dugout.
• 1:02:47
  Matt Keough comes from a fine athletic family.
• 1:02:51
  Of course his dad was a former Major League outfielder.
• 1:02:54
  Played with six different Major League teams.
• 1:02:57
  Now scouts for the Cardinals.
• 1:03:00
  But and his uncle Joe played with the A's and the White Sox.
• 1:03:05
  There's a swing and a miss.
• 1:03:06
  Cabell fouled throw the first back is Herndon.
• 1:03:10
  Four strikeouts for Keough.
• 1:03:11
  He gave him a change up and brings up Rick Leach.
• 1:03:19
  Our man, Rick Leach.
• 1:03:22
  Now with the ransom information about somebody with some stomach spasms and it turns out I checked the defense didn't see any changes there and didn't notice.
• 1:03:31
  But we're working with three umpires.
• 1:03:33
  Larry Barnett has been excused for the day pitches low for ball one to Rick Leach.
• 1:03:47
  He's really overshipped their outfielders on the Tiger hitters.
• 1:03:50
  They're shifting way to right on Leach and Rick takes the strike one and one.
• 1:03:58
  Leach took a call third strike his first time up.
• 1:04:02
  He went over to in the opener here last night.
• 1:04:09
  Toss over to first base and earned and get back and first.
• 1:04:15
  Matt dad Marty was not only a Major League baseball player but was perhaps one of the finest football players developed in this area.
• 1:04:26
  The old those days he was playing a triple threat tailback.
• 1:04:34
  Big leap for her in the first the pitch to Leach on the corner.
• 1:04:37
  It's a strike one and two on Rick.
• 1:04:39
  He goes back and grabs a handful of dirt.
• 1:04:42
  Flips it away.
• 1:04:56
  The pitch from Keough just a bit wide two and two.
• 1:05:04
  Keough has not had much luck winning here at home as record two and nine this year at home eight and seven on the road.
• 1:05:14
  But he's got three nothing lead today.
• 1:05:16
  Leach fouls it back to the screen.
• 1:05:25
  That's been giving up a bundle of home runs this season a total of twenty eight.
• 1:05:30
  So far this year last year he gave up of course a shortened season but he gave up eleven Leach takes it in the dirt it bounces away from heat but out in front of the plate.
• 1:05:41
  He just puts it back to Keough no advance by Herndon.
• 1:05:45
  The full count now on Rick and Keough figured that ball got damaged a little bit skipping in front of the plate off the shin guard of heat.
• 1:06:00
  He exchanges it.
• 1:06:03
  Not a cloud in the sky here.
• 1:06:05
  Well the Oakland folks and the Tigers came out the ballpark were almost apologizing about the weather.
• 1:06:12
  The natives they should know it would burn off and it sure did.
• 1:06:17
  Now the pitch there goes Herndon and it's taken outside for ball four and the Tigers get two men on the first time in the same inning.
• 1:06:28
  Leach at first turned in at second the first pass issued by Keough and he wants to have a talk with Matt.
• 1:06:34
  The batter will be Lynn Jones.
• 1:06:37
  Lynn had a couple of hits last night he had not played in the Tiger game in two weeks.
• 1:06:44
  A little strain of the right ankle and Lynn is playing in right field with Chet Lemmon suffering from a pulled hamstring.
• 1:06:55
  When he came through with a couple of singles up the middle last night and he hit another ball that was deflected for a double play.
• 1:07:03
  He hit that one harder than anything.
• 1:07:07
  Two on two off the pitch from Keough high and away ball one on Lynn.
• 1:07:21
  Herndon at second Leach at first.
• 1:07:24
  Keough delivers fouled back above the Tiger dugout into the stand.
• 1:07:32
  Now they're in the ninth inning at Wrigley Field now and it's still an eight to four Cubs lead.
• 1:07:39
  Giants an unhappy team these days they feel they got jobs a bit in St. Louis.
• 1:07:46
  And were beaten yesterday by the Cubs.
• 1:07:51
  They move back into contention with Atlanta failing ground ball off the leg of Keough it's worked toward third everybody is safe the bases are loaded.
• 1:07:59
  Gross picked up the ball near the line and he had no play anywhere.
• 1:08:03
  That was a shot hit up the middle again by Lynn and this time it came off the foot of Keough I believe.
• 1:08:09
  It'll be a base hit for Lynn Jones loading the bases for Bill Fahey.
• 1:08:18
  The Tigers with a chance to climb back in it here in the fourth inning have loaded the bases with two off.
• 1:08:24
  Fahey popped a foul to Danny Meyer his first time up.
• 1:08:28
  Bill subbing for Lance Parish here this afternoon on the spot right now at the plate.
• 1:08:36
  Here's the wind up by Keough the pitch he checks it's on the outside corner strike one goal.
• 1:08:50
  Well look the third the full line up Keough pitches ground foul he changed up on him and he just got a little piece of that he's out in front of it.
• 1:08:59
  Two strikes on Bill.
• 1:09:06
  One time infielder Matt Keough he played three years as a pro as an infielder before becoming a pitcher.
• 1:09:18
  Bases loaded with Tigers two strikes on Fahey two out the pitch to Bill.
• 1:09:23
  He swings and bounces a foul down past first base coach Dick Kraszyewski.
• 1:09:39
  Keough off the mound walked back up.
• 1:09:44
  Tigers have four hits off him but have not been able to score.
• 1:09:51
  Two strikes on Fahey Keough delivers ground foul again over toward the Tiger dugout.
• 1:10:02
  Fahey hanging in.
• 1:10:06
  Lance was in the initial lineup but he got the call out here at the ballpark and put his street clothes back on again and is headed back home catching a plane out of the Bay Area.
• 1:10:17
  The call that Arlen was in labor and hopefully about to expect to produce their second child.
• 1:10:26
  The join David here's the pitch to Fahey high for a ball that was a fastball from Keough.
• 1:10:36
  John Walkenfuss is suffering from a sprained ankle.
• 1:10:41
  He is helping out and in uniform and he's down on the bullpen.
• 1:10:47
  But not nearly 100 percent.
• 1:10:50
  Fahey is the man behind the plate here today and there's a wide one to Bill to two counts.
• 1:10:56
  He's up ready to throw. He likes to throw to the base.
• 1:11:07
  He does a far better percentage of cutting down runners than Newman who sees more action behind the plate.
• 1:11:15
  With a little better bat to two count bases loaded the pitch to Bill Fahey high from all three.
• 1:11:23
  Keough got two strikes on him. Fahey kept fouling him off.
• 1:11:27
  Now he's working. Finally he worked a couple of pitches that were just off the outside corner.
• 1:11:32
  That one was high.
• 1:11:38
  Now this will free the chains on the base runners.
• 1:11:46
  Well, Mary Garron starts the pitch. Swung on fly ball. The left field should be caught. Henderson is under it.
• 1:11:52
  He waits. He's got it. And the Tigers load them but leave them.
• 1:11:56
  And after three and a half innings, Oakland free, Detroit nothing.
• 1:12:01

  There's one chainsaw that continues to be the largest selling in the world and that says a lot about a steam.
• 1:13:06
  To be top saw, a steam's got to be rugged, hard working, smooth running and easy to start.
• 1:13:11
  So for the best selling steel chainsaw, check the yellow pages under saw.
• 1:13:15
  If that's the largest selling, hardest working cutting machine, then that can only mean
• 1:13:21

• 1:13:24
  Nothing works as hard as a steel.
• 1:13:29
  Today's Tiger game is being brought to you in part by the Michigan Bureau of State Lottery.
• 1:13:34
  But the game's not over yet. Baseball that is.
• 1:13:37
  Back to Ernie and Paul for more.
• 1:13:49
  Bottom of the fourth inning here at the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum.
• 1:13:53
  Danny Meyer will be leading it off.
• 1:14:03
  Second time up for Whitey in the game, Danny had to sacrifice fly to drive in one of the three runs in the first inning.
• 1:14:09
  In case you joined us late, Wildness by Jerry Udger contributed to three Oakland runs.
• 1:14:15
  They still do not have a hit off Udger.
• 1:14:18
  Here's the wind up, the pitch to Meyer, swung on and popped foul down the third base line.
• 1:14:23
  Long run for Cabell. Can he get there? No, can't quite reach it down the bullpen.
• 1:14:27
  There's a lot of space to run behind first and third here at the Oakland Coliseum.
• 1:14:37
  Stands Bell back from behind the plate. Odd configuration in foul territory.
• 1:14:47
  Looks like a giant, weird sized keyhole.
• 1:14:54
  Now the wind up, the pitch from Udger. It's low and outside.
• 1:14:58
  One and one on Danny Meyer.
• 1:15:05
  Udger into the motion now delivers to the left hand hitting first baseman.
• 1:15:09
  It's just off the outside corner. Udger thought he had it.
• 1:15:13
  Two and one. Well he walked Ricky Henderson to lead off the ball game.
• 1:15:18
  Henderson stole second.
• 1:15:22
  Now the pitch to Meyer swung on a high foul fly to right.
• 1:15:26
  Racing is leeched but he won't get to this one. It's back in the stands.
• 1:15:31
  Getting back to that first inning he walked Ricky Henderson to lead it off.
• 1:15:34
  And Henderson stole second, number 116.
• 1:15:39
  He walked Wayne Gross. Then they pulled a double steal.
• 1:15:43
  Henderson getting his 117th. One within Lou Brock's record.
• 1:15:49
  Then a wild pitch brought home Henderson.
• 1:15:52
  And Dwayne Murphy walked.
• 1:15:55
  He stole second. A bounce out by Tony Armiscout in a run and a sacrifice fly by Meyer scored the other.
• 1:16:02
  Low and inside. Three to count now on Danny Meyer.
• 1:16:09
  Three walks, four stolen bases and a wild pitch in that inning.
• 1:16:13
  There's called strike three. Meyer started the first base and he's out of there.
• 1:16:18
  Second strikeout for Uger.
• 1:16:22
  Here's Davy Lopes who lined out the Cabell his first time up.
• 1:16:32
  Got a final now from Wrigley Field, the only other matinee in the majors today.
• 1:16:37
  The Cubs defeated the Giants eight to four. Eight runs, ten hits.
• 1:16:41
  The Giants had four runs and six hits.
• 1:16:44
  Rich Gale started and didn't last very long. He left in the second inning.
• 1:16:49
  There's a called strike on Davy Lopes.
• 1:16:53
  Gale the loser, five and thirteen and Fergie Jenkins hung in there after giving up three runs in the first two innings.
• 1:16:59
  He wound up with his ninth win against thirteen defeats.
• 1:17:04
  Strike two called on Lopes.
• 1:17:08
  Buckner homered for the Cubs today with two on.
• 1:17:10
  Sularz homered for San Francisco.
• 1:17:16
  The Giants have lost four in a row.
• 1:17:19
  Now the pitch. There's a called strike three. Lopes fooled and he doesn't like it.
• 1:17:24
  He's mad but he should be mad at himself.
• 1:17:26
  Beauty by Uger. He really broke one off.
• 1:17:35
  Two off. That'll bring up the left hand hitting D.H. Mitchell-Page.
• 1:17:40
  The Giants had climbed back into the Western Division race but
• 1:17:45
  had run up into trouble at St. Louis and Chicago.
• 1:17:48
  Swing and a miss by Page. He went after a pitch that was almost in the dirt.
• 1:18:02
  Here's the wind up by Uger. They pitch.
• 1:18:05
  Swing and a miss. He took another wild cut.
• 1:18:09
  A young fellow came up to me at the coffee shop here yesterday and said,
• 1:18:13
  who do you think is going to win it? The Dodgers or the Giants?
• 1:18:20
  I think many people consider the Giants to have a great deal of a chance but they have done a good job.
• 1:18:26
  Coming back into contention for a while. Here's the wind up.
• 1:18:29
  The two strike pitch. Swung on and missed. Three straight pitches.
• 1:18:32
  And Uger strikes out the side in the fourth.
• 1:18:35
  After four innings, A's three, Tigers nothing.
• 1:18:41
  You've got to reach deep inside.
• 1:18:45
  We've all felt it. Come on, bring out that pride.
• 1:18:50
  The challenge to make every effort count in all we do to bring out the best.
• 1:18:56
  Bring out your best. Bring out your best. Bring out your best.
• 1:19:05
  The challenge for us was to brew a light beer worthy of the king of beers.
• 1:19:10
  One with a clean distinctive taste. Budweiser Light lives up to the challenge.
• 1:19:16
  Bring out your best. Budweiser Light. Bring out your best. Budweiser Light.
• 1:19:24
  To brew Budweiser Light, it took time, patience, and a commitment to quality.
• 1:19:31
  But then the best never comes easy. That's why there's nothing else like it.
• 1:19:36
  Budweiser Light. And Heiser Bush, St. Louis, Missouri.
• 1:19:41

• 1:20:24
  Here's Alan Trammell to lead off with the Tigers in the fifth inning. With Ernie Harwell, this is Paul Carey at the Oakland Coliseum.
• 1:20:32
  Wind up of a brief two game stay here. Tigers won the opening game last night 5-1 behind the pitching of Dan Petrie.
• 1:20:39
  But trail three nothing as we move to the fifth inning today. Swing and a miss by Trammell.
• 1:20:44
  Keough has shown some excellent off speed breaking pitches. Matt has struck out four, walked one, and allowed four hits.
• 1:20:55
  The right hander kicks and pitches to Trammell. He runs up as though the bunt holds off at the ball. One and one on Alan.
• 1:21:05
  Trammell bouncing back from that shoulder ailment. Now the pitch from Keough. It's high.
• 1:21:19
  Two and one on Alan. That was Tom Brookens nursing a bad elbow. Tigers a little short.
• 1:21:28
  Swung on a fly ball to right field. Armas drifting into his right. Flips the glasses down. He's got it and there's one up.
• 1:21:38
  Now before Blue Whitaker bats lets pause for station identification. This is the Detroit Tiger Baseball Network.
• 1:21:44
  This is AM 76. The great voice of the Great Lakes and the flagship station for the Detroit Tigers. WJR Detroit.
• 1:21:59
  Wayne Gross inside at third. The pitch to Whitaker. He swings and misses.
• 1:22:04
  Lew doubled over the head of Ricky Henderson his last time up. One for two today. Keough working quickly comes back and it's in for a strike.
• 1:22:16
  Whitaker short and ran up at it and then just kind of faded away but it was right through the heart of the play.
• 1:22:23
  Two strikes on Lew. Now the pitch from Keough. He wastes one outside.
• 1:22:42
  One to pitch to Whitaker. Fouled back over the screen into the stands.
• 1:22:47
  One out nobody on here on the Tiger fifth inning. The Tigers moving on up the coast of Seattle tonight.
• 1:22:53
  They'll start a four game series in the Kingdom on Thursday night. We'll be on the air.
• 1:22:58
  Let's see the first three nights at 10 15 and I think it's a half hour earlier on Sunday at 9 45 Michigan time.
• 1:23:06
  Whitaker takes it outside two and two on Lew. Keough delivers. There's a punch to left foul back into the stands.
• 1:23:21
  He just reached out. Chopped at it. Remains two balls two strikes on Sweet Lew.
• 1:23:38
  Keough winds and delivers. There's another fly to left. It'll be foul and in the bullpen into the stands.
• 1:23:44
  Good catch by the man down in the corner. The A's have got some sore arms right now.
• 1:23:51
  We're talking about Jeff Jones heading today to Minneapolis to get a shot from Dr. O'Faylon there.
• 1:23:57
  And Mike Norris has an ailing shoulder. He's going down to Los Angeles to confer with Dr. Job.
• 1:24:05
  Swung on a high fly ball down the left field line. Left fielder Henderson in foul territory there. Makes the catch.
• 1:24:13
  Now Gross and Stanley and Henderson converge down that there are two down.
• 1:24:20
  And that brings up Glenn Wilson. Glenn is hit with two trips first time up.
• 1:24:25
  He had a screaming line drive right at the middle of Gross's third base.
• 1:24:30
  Glenn has hit safely in 11 straight games now and in 15 of his last 16.
• 1:24:40
  Keough ready to work. Play first pitch to Wilson. Swung on line drive right field. A base hit for Wilson. He keeps the streak going.
• 1:24:49
  Glenn is on with two out here in the Tiger fifth inning.
• 1:24:53
  Hit number five for the Tigers. That'll bring up Larry Herndon who's one for two.
• 1:25:01
  The Tigers will see the A's when they're back home next.
• 1:25:08
  Next Tuesday the Tigers begin a week long home stand.
• 1:25:12
  Three straight night games Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday against the Angels and the A's are in Friday night, Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
• 1:25:19
  Herndon takes a low one from Keough.
• 1:25:22
  And for the opener of that series with the A's Friday, September 3rd.
• 1:25:29
  We'll have the chicken on our side.
• 1:25:31
  The A's will have the chicken on theirs and Fred Stanley.
• 1:25:35
  Now the pitch from Keough. Ground ball to Stanley. He underhands to Mopes for the fourth and second.
• 1:25:40
  That's all for the Tigers. No runs to hit the man left. After four and a half it's still the A's three. Tigers nothing.
• 1:25:49

• 1:27:29
  Mike Heath will be stepping in to lead it off for the A's here in the fifth inning. Mike walked his first time up.
• 1:27:36
  Jerry Euger trailing 3-0 as a result of his own wildness in the first inning.
• 1:27:51
  He walked five and had one wild pitch and has struck out four, including the last three in a row. There's a wide one to Heath.
• 1:28:07
  Now Jerry into the motion, he kicks and fires. There's a base hit to right field.
• 1:28:12
  There's a hole between Whitaker and Leigh. Sharp play and one hop out of the infield.
• 1:28:17
  That's the first hit of the ball game for the A's.
• 1:28:29
  That'll bring up Fred Stanley with Ricky Henderson on deck. Stanley struck out his only time up.
• 1:28:42
  The bell sneaking in looking for the bunt. Here's a stretch by Euger.
• 1:28:47
  And the pitch he squares the bunt, takes it low and outside.
• 1:28:50
  Some of the folks around Oakland here were kind of perturbed and mad at Fred Stanley because he'd been getting some hits lately.
• 1:28:57
  As the number nine man of the batting order and getting on first base.
• 1:29:01
  He'd been walking and getting some hits and they didn't like that out of their number nine man because that clogged up the base pass in front of Ricky Henderson if he should get on.
• 1:29:11
  Here's the stretch by Euger. He goes to first base sending Heath back.
• 1:29:31
  Euger taking a little more time now. Right hand hitting Stanley waiting at the plate. Here's the pitch. He squares and bumps it foul down the first baseline.
• 1:29:45
  Jack Morris goes in the opener Thursday night at the Kingdome against Mike Moore.
• 1:29:52
  And I see Gaylord again this time around. He got called last night and was ejected from the ballgame by Plain Empire Dave Phillips for the alleged use of a spitter.
• 1:30:12
  I wonder where he got that idea. Now the set. They whooped the hole. Now the 1-1 pitch and it's low to Heath.
• 1:30:22
  Two and one on Mike. I beg your pardon on Stanley. Heath at first base after a base hit.
• 1:30:39
  The lead here in the bottom of the fifth. Little toss to first again.
• 1:30:53
  Outfield straight up on Stanley and not very deep. Here's the set. Now they throw the first. Leech was coming off the bag.
• 1:31:03
  Jackie Moore the first base coach out to have a word with the runner Heath. Jackie Brown I should say.
• 1:31:17
  There goes the runner. It's fouled back into the stand.
• 1:31:22
  I was right the first time. One time Tiger.
• 1:31:41
  So at the count of two balls two strikes Stanley swinging away on that 2-1 delivery. As they sent Heath let's see what happens here.
• 1:31:53
  Stretched by Uger. The runner goes the pitches popped in the air foul off first base. Leech chasing still racing after it.
• 1:32:02
  He makes a fine catch and then turns around to take a look to see what happened to Heath and he got back to the bag at first.
• 1:32:10
  A good over the shoulder catch by Leech. Well off first base and foul ground.
• 1:32:19
  Now that brings up Ricky Henderson. Henderson with two steals today in the first inning is one hundred sixteenth and one hundred seventeenth.
• 1:32:28
  Needs one to tie. Lugrock's record.
• 1:32:36
  Uger retired him on a foul fly to right his last time up.
• 1:32:46
  Heath is at first base with one up.
• 1:32:54
  Uger working from the stretch goes to first driving Heath back.
• 1:33:10
  Henderson swinging the bat starts to get into that lean back crotch of his.
• 1:33:16
  Here's the set the pitch to him swung on a five ball to center field should be caught Wilson with the glasses down looking up into that tough sky makes the catch.
• 1:33:25
  And Henderson is retired this time around as Heath is still at first base two out.
• 1:33:37
  The batter now Wayne Groves who has walked and fly to center. He's got all three runs on the first inning.
• 1:33:46
  Uger walked Henderson who stole second. Walked Groves.
• 1:33:52
  And they pulled a double steal two steals for Henderson. He scored on a wild pitch by Uger who walked Murphy who stole second.
• 1:34:00
  A bounce off the sacrifice fly getting in a couple of runs in addition to the wild pitch scoring one.
• 1:34:14
  Here's a stretch by Uger and the pitch to Groves hits a pitch out but no movement at first by Heath.
• 1:34:23
  In the second inning Heath walked and stole second.
• 1:34:30
  Bay he cut down Murphy attempting to steal in the third inning.
• 1:34:41
  Jerry delivers check swing at the call strike on Wayne Groves.
• 1:34:48
  Wayne was involved in the little melee the angels and A's had a week or so ago.
• 1:35:04
  Uger checking the runner the pitch to Groves swung on there's a high fly ball the right field not deep Jones over toward the line makes the catch.
• 1:35:13
  That's all for the A's no runs a hit the man left after five innings A's three Tigers nothing.

  Tigers coming to bat here on the sixth inning and Oakland trailing three nothing.
• 1:37:11
  Keough has managed to work out of some difficulties and for the five innings so far today set down the Tigers in order only in the first inning.
• 1:37:21
  There's Mike Ivy who has singled and hit the pop light a right.
• 1:37:30
  Trying to buy key all the pitch for the Tigers D.H. is in the dirt skips past he.
• 1:37:46
  Ivy hitting 232.
• 1:37:49
  I pitched to him half swing. Did he go. They appeal said no.
• 1:37:57
  The
• 1:37:59
  right side of the infield now Larry Barnett taking the rest of the day off.
• 1:38:02
  Derwood Merrill is over on the left and Mike Riley behind the plate.
• 1:38:06
  First time we've had a chance to see Rocky the season.
• 1:38:10
  From one team to another high fly ball left to center field Murphy is right there.
• 1:38:15
  Wait. He's got it. And there's one.
• 1:38:23
  It's going to be an important month in the life of Ricky Henderson certainly the month of August.
• 1:38:29
  I don't think you can play anybody ever had a month like one tiger did.
• 1:38:33
  Rudy York still holds the record for the most home runs in a single month.
• 1:38:39
  He hit 18 in the month of August and his rookie season back in 1937.
• 1:38:45
  What a month for Rudy Cabell ducks out of the way of a fastball.
• 1:38:51
  In that month of August 1937 York did not even get into the starting lineup until the fourth day of the month and hit 18 home runs.
• 1:39:03
  Drove in 49 runs in 30 games in that month.
• 1:39:07
  Cabell swings and pops a foul off first base Meyer chasing down toward the bullpen still raising.
• 1:39:12
  He can't catch up to it.
• 1:39:17
  Looking at York's record for the month of August in 1937 49 RBI.
• 1:39:23
  He hit 360 scored 27 times.
• 1:39:27
  He had four doubles and two triples slugging average for the month.
• 1:39:33
  Point eight nine five.
• 1:39:40
  One out. Nobody out on the tiger six Cabell swings a bouncer to gross at third.
• 1:39:44
  Good leap came down with it goes the first Cabell is retired.
• 1:39:54
  Brings up Rick Leach.
• 1:40:00
  Leach has struck out and walked.
• 1:40:04
  Tigers with five hits by five different batters.
• 1:40:07
  Whitaker has a double Wilson a single Herndon a single Ivy a single and Jones a single.
• 1:40:15
  Keough kicks and fires and it's on the corner strike one called on Leach.
• 1:40:30
  The motion Keough delivers there's a fly ball the left field down the line long run for Henderson he's getting there near the line makes the catch.
• 1:40:38
  And the Tigers are out in order in the sixth inning after five and a half still Oakland free Detroit nothing.
• 1:40:48

  Did you know the steel chainsaw
• 1:48:32
  the largest selling chainsaw in
• 1:48:33
  the world.
• 1:48:34
  That's because it's the best you

  every chainsaw sold.

  I'm at Keough with nine complete

  games so far this season for the

  A's has been able to hold off
• 1:49:25
  the Tigers through the first six
• 1:49:26
  innings while he got a three run
• 1:49:28
  lead in the first it's still a
• 1:49:29
  three to nothing Oakland lead as
• 1:49:32
  we move to the seventh inning
• 1:49:33
  and back to the play by play.
• 1:49:34
  Here's Ernie Harwell.
• 1:49:35
  Thanks Paul.
• 1:49:36
  I get everybody the right hand
• 1:49:37
  and I think that's a strike
• 1:49:38
  called the seventh inning getting
• 1:49:40
  started.
• 1:49:41
  Now the Tigers have five hits
• 1:49:43
  they've had ahead of everything
• 1:49:44
  except the first one in the sixth
• 1:49:46
  inning in too close.
• 1:49:48
  He almost hit him one and one
• 1:49:49
  the count on Jones and they had
• 1:49:51
  one big threat.
• 1:49:52
  They loaded the bases on the
• 1:49:53
  fourth with two out and play.
• 1:49:55
  He retired when he had a three
• 1:49:56
  to pick to left field.
• 1:50:00
  Otherwise he had it pretty much
• 1:50:02
  under control.
• 1:50:03
  Matt Keough working with a three
• 1:50:04
  nothing lead.
• 1:50:06
  Jones that they line drive to
• 1:50:08
  left the base it fielded by the
• 1:50:10
  left field ahead of him and for
• 1:50:12
  the second straight game.
• 1:50:13
  Jones has two for two against
• 1:50:15
  this Oakland pitching.
• 1:50:17
  He's the only Tiger with two
• 1:50:18
  hits today.
• 1:50:19
  The others belong what a piece
• 1:50:20
  the Whitaker Wilson Herndon and
• 1:50:23
  Ivey they are the first born the
• 1:50:25
  Tiger batting order.
• 1:50:26
  Here comes a pay heat of the
• 1:50:27
  plate.
• 1:50:28
  He has got over to his bow the
• 1:50:30
  first and find it out.
• 1:50:32
  You'll be followed by travel.
• 1:50:34
  The infield is halfway up.
• 1:50:36
  They've got Meyer not holding on
• 1:50:38
  the bag with Jones at first base
• 1:50:41
  three nothing Oakland the Tigers
• 1:50:43
  batting in the seventh inning.
• 1:50:44
  There's a ball low it bounces out
• 1:50:46
  in front almost to the mound
• 1:50:47
  picked up by the pitcher.
• 1:50:49
  He oh he's back and not in time
• 1:50:51
  to Stanley and they almost got
• 1:50:54
  Jones.
• 1:50:55
  I'm sorry.
• 1:50:56
  Yeah.
• 1:50:57
  Get the second.
• 1:50:58
  I was a weird one.
• 1:50:59
  I hit in front of Heath and hit
• 1:51:01
  his shin guard or something.
• 1:51:03
  He popped out the out near the
• 1:51:05
  mound.
• 1:51:06
  He all the former infielder made
• 1:51:08
  a good throw and almost got him
• 1:51:09
  a second ball on the count on
• 1:51:13
  Bill Fahey outfield is straight
• 1:51:16
  up punching toward the middle on
• 1:51:18
  Bill Jones coming down the line
• 1:51:20
  from second base three nothing
• 1:51:21
  Oakland leading seven inning.
• 1:51:22
  They got all three of their runs
• 1:51:24
  up you during the opening inning
• 1:51:26
  three men walked and all three
• 1:51:28
  scored here's the pitch it is a
• 1:51:29
  strike call also in that inning
• 1:51:32
  that's a little bit of a
• 1:51:33
  benefit Ricky Henderson picked
• 1:51:36
  up two more stolen bases and now
• 1:51:39
  needs only one to tie the record
• 1:51:40
  of Lube Rock.
• 1:51:44
  Here's the set of the one one
• 1:51:46
  pitch is very wide to play he
• 1:51:48
  two balls and a strike and he
• 1:51:51
  wants a conference for this
• 1:51:52
  pitcher Mark and Chuck away from
• 1:51:57
  Sunnyvale California long time
• 1:51:59
  Tiger fan who used to live in
• 1:52:01
  the area and he is a hero in
• 1:52:03
  action so far they've not been
• 1:52:06
  able to get a run in they have
• 1:52:07
  left the six runners on the
• 1:52:09
  bases three of them in the one
• 1:52:11
  inning conferences over ready
• 1:52:16
  for action again it is a two one
• 1:52:18
  pitch to pay he takes a wide
• 1:52:21
  the fastball low on a three and
• 1:52:23

• 1:52:43
  the first half both count on
• 1:52:48
  Fahey man on second Jones he
• 1:52:51
  led up with a single took second
• 1:52:52
  on the wild pitch here's the
• 1:52:53
  pitch Fahey swings as they fly
• 1:52:55
  ball to the right armistice
• 1:52:57
  there gloves it John sag heads
• 1:52:59
  the third is a throw by armistice
• 1:53:01
  to the growth not in time it
• 1:53:02
  bounced away from growth Jones
• 1:53:04
  starts the home and then jacked
• 1:53:05
  back as the pitcher Keough did a
• 1:53:08
  good backup job at third base
• 1:53:13
  they're throwing the ball to
• 1:53:14
  second claiming that Jones left
• 1:53:17
  too early low that takes the
• 1:53:19
  throw but the umpire says nope
• 1:53:21
  he did not go rocky road came
• 1:53:24
  down to make the call well the
• 1:53:26
  Tigers have one out of man at
• 1:53:28
  third and the better will be
• 1:53:29
  travel Alan is bounce the short
• 1:53:37
  and the flight of right field so
• 1:53:38
  far nothing Oakland has the
• 1:53:43
  three Tigers are trying to get
• 1:53:45
  back in this one on the seventh
• 1:53:46
  inning I'll feel the left on
• 1:53:48
  travel Jones off the bag at
• 1:53:50
  third let's see how Keough will
• 1:53:52
  work whether he'll go to the
• 1:53:53
  wind up yet he will not work to
• 1:53:55
  a set position he'll wind and
• 1:53:56

  service station you see marathon

  first three men and all three
• 1:57:37
  scored since then he's given up
• 1:57:40
  a couple of walks but he's about

  only one single throughout the
• 1:57:43
  whole game and he has now struck

  the Oakland seventh inning
• 1:58:29
  Mitchell page will be the next
• 1:58:30
  man to bat left hand about it
• 1:58:36
  with a fly to right field and a
• 1:58:38
  strikeout as his record so far
• 1:58:42
  three runs one hit broke when
• 1:58:44
  they've made no errors the
• 1:58:45
  Tigers have no runs and six hits
• 1:58:51
  there's a foul that'll reach the
• 1:58:53
  seats on the third base side
• 1:58:58
  might he's waiting on deck
• 1:59:04
  page stands deep in the batters
• 1:59:06
  box better than he is the motion
• 1:59:09
  by Jerry you're doing he pitches
• 1:59:11
  it is a fastball outside one and
• 1:59:13
  one the count on him there's a
• 1:59:23
  drive to left and it'll be in
• 1:59:24
  for a hit the second hit off
• 1:59:25
  you just pages on with a single
• 1:59:31
  hit it'll bring up here who had
• 1:59:35
  the first hit he's also had a
• 1:59:37
  walk he likes the pitch inside
• 1:59:43
  basically a high fastball hitters
• 1:59:46
  Tigers try to pitch him long
• 1:59:47
  away majority of the major league
• 1:59:51
  hitters are fastball hitters and
• 1:59:53
  high ball hitters you find a
• 1:59:58
  batter in the majors that likes
• 2:00:00
  to pitch low pitch he is usually
• 2:00:02
  a left hand batter that's not
• 2:00:06
  absolute but it's a sort of a
• 2:00:10
  general rule here is the set now
• 2:00:12
  by you do the right hander
• 2:00:13
  delivers and the pitches into
• 2:00:15
  close ball one passionate and
• 2:00:25
  under one the one of each
• 2:00:26
  throwing in the Detroit bullpen
• 2:00:29
  and the double play depth against
• 2:00:30
  Keith three nothing Oakland
• 2:00:33
  league Tigers trying to get back
• 2:00:36
  in this one but Oakland batting
• 2:00:37

• 2:00:38
  seventh they pitch his swing on
• 2:00:40
  hit the cabal so the vertical
• 2:00:42
  one relay to late you two for
• 2:00:44
  the price of one for the Tigers
• 2:00:46
  on the side out no runs one hit
• 2:00:47
  no errors and nobody left and at
• 2:00:49
  the end of seven it is Oakland
• 2:00:51

• 2:00:53
  word that mean anything to you
• 2:00:55

  bat prior that he had lined a third
• 2:03:05
  and struck out now faces a light handed
• 2:03:08
  Wilson Herndon and I've had to try to
• 2:03:11
  get it going the Tigers need pretty
• 2:03:13
  tight here in the eighth inning
• 2:03:15
  strange and totals right now no runs in
• 2:03:18
  six hits and nowhere to Detroit three
• 2:03:20
  runs and two hits for Oakland and no
• 2:03:22
  errors there's a curve into close he

  spins out of the way ball on the count
• 2:03:28
  on young Mr. Wilson batting three twenty
• 2:03:34
  six he hits a foul down the first base
• 2:03:37
  side coming over his teeth and the
• 2:03:40
  catcher makes the cap play 19 of his
• 2:03:54
  last 20 game here's Lance Perry
• 2:03:58
  I'm sad three hits last night Perry
• 2:04:10
  has been really jumping up into the
• 2:04:12
  leaderboard and plugging percentage he
• 2:04:14
  ranked third in the league now Tigers
• 2:04:21
  have their leadoff man on for the first
• 2:04:23
  time in the game the pitch to Perry
• 2:04:25
  one he struck out for Tigers have been
• 2:04:29
  a done a good bit of first ball hitting
• 2:04:32
  against him is a high fly to right
• 2:04:42
  should be caught harmless to his
• 2:04:44
  website he makes the catch dog had to
• 2:04:48
  play it side saddle because of that
• 2:04:50
  bright sun no clouds out there to act
• 2:04:52
  his background with a fly ball doing
• 2:04:54
  down nobody on in the Tiger eight
• 2:04:56
  here comes Ivey he picked up the first
• 2:04:58
  Tiger hit with a single in the second
• 2:05:00
  then flat out the next two times
• 2:05:12
  right hand standing deep the outfield
• 2:05:14
  pulled around the left on Mike three
• 2:05:16
  nothing Oakland leads in the eighth
• 2:05:18
  inning and he swings as a slow roller
• 2:05:20
  hit to the glove side of the shortstop
• 2:05:22
  family guns it over the first and the
• 2:05:24
  Tigers around one two three in the
• 2:05:26
  eighth inning Oakland comes to that in

  You're on the mound right at the face of
• 2:07:12
  Fred Stanley who lead off the Oakland 8
• 2:07:14
  bidding Fred has got open two then
• 2:07:16
  Ricky Henderson and Wayne Gross will
• 2:07:18
  follow Billy Martin has his bullpen busy
• 2:07:22
  the left hander Tom Underwood and the
• 2:07:24
  right hander Brian Kingman throwing
• 2:07:26
  down there three runs in the opening
• 2:07:31
  inning for Oakland they scored on three
• 2:07:33
  walks all three men who drew a base on
• 2:07:36
  balls came in to score and that's the
• 2:07:38
  story of the game the pitch to Stanley's
• 2:07:40
  of all though Henderson picked up two
• 2:07:43
  steals in that first inning now has a
• 2:07:46
  hundred and seventeen one short of the
• 2:07:48
  all time mark you're ready to go to work
• 2:07:52
  the pitch to Stanley is a wide one ball
• 2:07:56
  to do it all on Fred 17,000 and 98
• 2:08:01
  paying to see this one
• 2:08:06
  17,000 and 98 that's the pay to fish in
• 2:08:09
  the Coliseum this afternoon bright and
• 2:08:11
  sunny here's a wide one ball three to
• 2:08:15
  Stanley the crowd doesn't like this they
• 2:08:18
  know that Henderson coming up next they
• 2:08:21
  don't want any and had a month on the
• 2:08:25
  bases in front of him here's the wind up
• 2:08:27
  by you and Stanley takes the ball all he
• 2:08:31
  wants
• 2:08:32
  that is the sixth walk of the year
• 2:08:36
  just three of them came in the first
• 2:08:41
  inning Billy Martin might be in the
• 2:08:45
  Ricky Henderson here Billy Martin might
• 2:08:49
  be in for Ricky Henderson that would
• 2:08:52
  be quite a move would probably just
• 2:08:56
  take Billy and throw him in the base
• 2:08:58
  if he did that he is Ricky at the plate
• 2:09:02
  now he has a walk a found out the right
• 2:09:05
  flight at center field he has stolen
• 2:09:08
  two bases red family at first base
• 2:09:11
  Henderson waiting at the plate and the
• 2:09:14
  pitch is a ball in too close up the
• 2:09:17
  middle pay he say he goes out the
• 2:09:20
  top of the injured through the
• 2:09:25
  baseball history throughout most of
• 2:09:29
  baseball history the base on balls has
• 2:09:31
  not counted as a time is bad the batter
• 2:09:34
  was first exempted from the time it's
• 2:09:36
  bad on the walk in 1877 right after the
• 2:09:40
  nationally got started and then 10 years
• 2:09:44
  later in 1887 a base on balls counted as
• 2:09:47
  a hit and there were there was a record
• 2:09:51
  number of 400 hitters that year you might
• 2:09:53
  imagine Henderson has over 100 walks
• 2:09:57
  already he is a bit there goes family
• 2:10:00
  there's a line back to the field base
• 2:10:02
  here Henderson feels it on one out
• 2:10:04
  family stuff the second to win on
• 2:10:07
  nobody down hit and run single and
• 2:10:11
  Henderson is one to last now gross will
• 2:10:17
  be the better three nothing off one
• 2:10:26
  they're batting in the evening they've
• 2:10:28
  got running that first and second and
• 2:10:30
  nobody down this crowd getting a little
• 2:10:39
  excited in field about halfway up
• 2:10:49
  growth stepping into the batter's box
• 2:10:51
  he's walked and flat out twice one of
• 2:10:55
  the three who scored a run in the
• 2:10:57
  opening three nothing Oakland and me
• 2:10:59
  eight walking a single setting up this
• 2:11:02
  scoring chance for the A's outfield is
• 2:11:05
  deep and straight away on growth you
• 2:11:09
  get a load of his pitching face at the
• 2:11:12
  mound he said to the photo second I've
• 2:11:19
  got family in a pick off Henderson not
• 2:11:22
  going anywhere and now Cabell's not a
• 2:11:26
  run to back and the winner connects
• 2:11:28
  the tag from a six family off and that
• 2:11:30
  opens up the gate for Ricky Henderson
• 2:11:38
  one to six to five to four so Henderson
• 2:11:54
  now has a chance to tie the record here
• 2:11:56
  in the eighth inning Oakland batting
• 2:11:59
  with a man on that Henderson at first
• 2:12:01
  base one man down way and growth at the
• 2:12:06
  plate the outfield is straight up
• 2:12:08
  here comes Roger Craig out he wants to
• 2:12:11
  come
• 2:12:15
  Billy Martin has come out of his dugout
• 2:12:20
  and as motioned over to his first base
• 2:12:23
  coach Jackie Moore to come in and talk
• 2:12:26
  with him there's a slight aroma
• 2:12:29
  emanating from the diamond Ernie on
• 2:12:31
  that last play Stanley did very little
• 2:12:35
  jockeying Henderson made no attempt to
• 2:12:38
  advance but it did clear the path down
• 2:12:42
  there ahead of him and another thing
• 2:12:45
  Cabell didn't look like he was too
• 2:12:47
  anxious to throw that ball and make the
• 2:12:49
  put up family off right so it was going
• 2:12:52
  on both sides but they set up what they
• 2:12:56
  wanted I guess the A's did and that
• 2:12:59
  makes any situation well all the
• 2:13:04
  conferring has been concluded and we are
• 2:13:08
  ready for action on the diamond Henderson
• 2:13:10
  is at first base he needs the one stolen
• 2:13:14
  base to tie the record I'll move rock
• 2:13:17
  and you're ready to pitch to him Ricky
• 2:13:23
  has a lead here's the set he draws a
• 2:13:27
  throw he's back there
• 2:13:38
  Wayne growth digging in Ricky Henderson
• 2:13:40
  draws another throw this is a low one
• 2:13:42
  and a good pick up by me he almost threw
• 2:13:44
  that one away so all the eyes are focused
• 2:13:47
  on Ricky Henderson play nothing the
• 2:13:49
  Oakland A's lead the Tigers in the
• 2:13:51
  evening one man out Henderson trying to
• 2:13:53
  get a longer lead at first base and
• 2:13:56
  toward the second another foot here's the
• 2:13:59
  set you hold it there's another throw to
• 2:14:02
  first he's back safe
• 2:14:08
  and Wayne growth steps out of the
• 2:14:09
  batter's box outfield is straight up on
• 2:14:14
  growth and deep Henderson edging off
• 2:14:18
  again a longer lead for Ricky is the set
• 2:14:24
  by the right hander you just there he
• 2:14:27
  goes a pitch out here's a throw he
• 2:14:29
  slides he is out at second base baby
• 2:14:33
  cutting down and Ricky Henderson
• 2:14:35
  disagreeing with the call by the umpire
• 2:14:39
  there was Merrill but he is out he did
• 2:14:42
  not tie the record on that one
• 2:14:46
  satisfying play of the game right there
• 2:14:51
  Ricky walking out second field is
• 2:14:53
  building the call with their own
• 2:14:55
  Merrill is umpiring now back a third
• 2:15:09
  in his forensic
• 2:15:12
  he's going at it pretty hot and heavy
• 2:15:14
  W.F. on his show for a gang now
• 2:15:17
  their man Henderson has been cut down he
• 2:15:20
  did not tie the record here this
• 2:15:22
  afternoon at least not for now
• 2:15:25
  Martin has a few more words to say to
• 2:15:28
  the Texans
• 2:15:29
  Gerard Merrill and now walks away back
• 2:15:31
  to his dugout
• 2:15:36
  yeah that's the new record he's been
• 2:15:38
  caught 39 times already
• 2:15:41
  so he was trying to tie Lou Brock and
• 2:15:44
  he beat Tycon
• 2:15:52
  you out in the eighth inning and they
• 2:15:54
  wind up by you Joe Gross takes that it
• 2:15:57
  is a ball though so the little cameo
• 2:16:01
  performance is over for the moment and
• 2:16:04
  we go back to the big action of the
• 2:16:06
  ballgame the wind up by you do the
• 2:16:08
  pitch is a ball outside three at all
• 2:16:12
  the count on growth
• 2:16:23
  do down nobody on here's the motion by
• 2:16:25
  you just and the growth Texas strike
• 2:16:36
  Jerry ready again wide and deals
• 2:16:38
  growth takes it is low he walked in
• 2:16:43
  the second walk of the sitting
• 2:16:49
  number seven of the game on future
• 2:16:55
  and Murphy will be the next man to match
• 2:16:57
  for the Oakland
• 2:17:13
  late holding on the bag with Wayne
• 2:17:15
  Gross here's the death by Jerry Murphy
• 2:17:19
  it's a fly ball to the right it's fairly
• 2:17:21
  deep Jones goes back and makes it over
• 2:17:23
  the shoulder catch to retire the side
• 2:17:26
  no runs one hit a couple of walks no

  Rapids more excitement at the Coliseum
• 2:19:20
  while we're away there Murphy the
• 2:19:22
  outfield is set something to do with
• 2:19:24
  Merrill
• 2:19:28
  and then Billy Martin got the same treatment
• 2:19:32
  Billy has been tossed out now they
• 2:19:35
  various members of the A's from their
• 2:19:38
  dugout throwing object out toward Merrill
• 2:19:42
  who's at third base and he's coming into
• 2:19:44
  the dugout and see what he can do
• 2:19:46
  so it's not over yet
• 2:19:48
  Boya the coach has come up the dugout
• 2:19:50
  steps he's trying to calm them down a
• 2:19:52
  little bit and here comes their own
• 2:19:54
  Merrill and talking with Boya
• 2:19:57
  Rocky roll one of the other umpires
• 2:19:59
  coming in and a third umpire Riley
• 2:20:02
  comes in Murphy was given the thumb
• 2:20:05
  he's not left the area now he is going
• 2:20:07
  into the they don't have a tunnel here
• 2:20:10
  they have an exit that is on the
• 2:20:12
  surface and you can see him come into
• 2:20:14
  that exit way and head for the tunnel
• 2:20:16
  and then the comma
• 2:20:23
  now most of the A's have gone back to
• 2:20:25
  their fielding position
• 2:20:29
  all this stemming from the caught
• 2:20:34
  stealing of Henderson in the last
• 2:20:39
  inning we're going to have some
• 2:20:41
  changes in the outfield
• 2:20:46
  McKay is going to go to play second
• 2:20:48
  base and Lowe is going to play center
• 2:20:50
  field I think yeah that's right
• 2:20:54
  Lowe is in center Henderson stays in
• 2:20:56
  left Armistead right
• 2:21:00
  and McKay takes Lowe's place at
• 2:21:02
  second base
• 2:21:06
  Murphy was the first one apparently
• 2:21:08
  when he went out to a center field he
• 2:21:10
  said something to do with Merrill as he
• 2:21:12
  passed him and then offended Mr.
• 2:21:14
  Merrill and he gave Murphy the thumb
• 2:21:17
  and then the Billy Martin came out and
• 2:21:19
  he was really angry he began to jump up
• 2:21:22
  take his cap off and go through all
• 2:21:24
  kind of gestures and the Merrill gave it
• 2:21:26
  to Billy too and he has left the
• 2:21:28
  front of the right now for station
• 2:21:32
  identification this is a Detroit Tiger
• 2:21:34
  made sport ever this is the 50,000 watt
• 2:21:36
  voice of the Great Lakes and the
• 2:21:38
  flagship station for the Detroit Tigers
• 2:21:40
  you're listening to AM 76 wjr Detroit
• 2:21:54
  70 A's are still up on the top dugout
• 2:21:56
  staff yelling out to a door with
• 2:21:58
  Merrill Kingman is falling in the
• 2:22:00
  bullpen as we get ready for the
• 2:22:02
  night that he was three runs in the
• 2:22:04
  opening inning on three walks those
• 2:22:07
  stolen bases two of them by
• 2:22:08
  Henderson has a three nothing lead
• 2:22:11
  trying to even the series and
• 2:22:13
  Cabell will lead it off against
• 2:22:15
  Keogh so far has blanked the
• 2:22:18
  Tigers you know waiting on the
• 2:22:21
  first pitch and here it comes he
• 2:22:23
  takes it for a strike he has topped
• 2:22:25
  the second struck out and bounced
• 2:22:27
  the third over three for the Tigers
• 2:22:29
  third baseman today there's a slow
• 2:22:32
  pitch into close one and one on
• 2:22:34
  Cabell after Cabell and it'll be
• 2:22:36
  late to then Jones Keogh coming
• 2:22:39
  right back fire there's a bounding
• 2:22:41
  ball to third a gross has an easy
• 2:22:43
  chance so the buyer he got him one
• 2:22:46
  away and the last six and seven
• 2:22:50
  have gone down in a row against
• 2:22:52
  the slants of Keogh since the
• 2:22:55
  single by Jones and started the
• 2:22:57
  seventh inning here's late he
• 2:22:59
  struck out walked in five to left
• 2:23:14
  there's a strike call a breaking
• 2:23:16
  ball over
• 2:23:17
  the third outfield slam in the
• 2:23:23
  right on Rick and the infielding
• 2:23:26
  back except for gross at third
• 2:23:28
  and the left hand about it takes
• 2:23:29
  one in the dirt of the count even
• 2:23:32
  one and one three nothing Oakland
• 2:23:39
  you have allowed only three hits
• 2:23:41
  but Oakland got three runs without
• 2:23:43
  a hit in the first inning Leach
• 2:23:46
  swings to two balls on a strike
• 2:23:56
  Keogh end of action that it is
• 2:23:58
  Leach swings there's a fly ball
• 2:24:00
  that should be caught it in the
• 2:24:01
  center field look is there
• 2:24:03
  finding the sun makes the catch
• 2:24:05
  for the out and they are two down
• 2:24:07
  in the Tiger night
• 2:24:11
  Lane Jones head into fourth and
• 2:24:13
  then single the next two trips
• 2:24:14
  to put three
• 2:24:22
  you can hear some of the Oakland
• 2:24:24
  fans getting on Mr. Derwood
• 2:24:27
  Marrow the third base umpire
• 2:24:29
  here's the pitch to land it is a
• 2:24:32
  strike a hard flatter on the
• 2:24:34
  outside corner Oakland three
• 2:24:37
  Tigers nothing to do down on the
• 2:24:39
  Tiger night inning Keogh deals
• 2:24:41
  there's a fly ball to left it
• 2:24:43
  should end the game Henderson is
• 2:24:45
  under it waiting waiting he
• 2:24:48
  gloves it and the game is over
• 2:24:50
  Tigers go one two three of the
• 2:24:52
  ninth inning the final score

  Oakland three Detroit nothing

  some people say that all
• 2:25:00
  gasolines are created equal but
• 2:25:03
  when you buy gasoline at a
• 2:25:04
  Marathon service station you may
• 2:25:07
  be in for a surprise you see we
• 2:25:10
  have a special kind of fuel
• 2:25:12
  treatment that makes a whole lot
• 2:25:14
  of difference every time we
• 2:25:16
  deliver Marathon gasoline we
• 2:25:18
  inject a top quality fuel additive
• 2:25:21
  this additive gives Marathon
• 2:25:23
  customers better fuel economy a
• 2:25:25
  smoother running engine less
• 2:25:27
  engine wear and lower repair
• 2:25:29
  bills whether you fill her up or
• 2:25:32
  just buy a few gallons pay a visit
• 2:25:35
  to your Marathon service station
• 2:25:37
  and you'll soon discover that
• 2:25:39
  although gasoline may seem to have
• 2:25:41
  been created equal some are more
• 2:25:43
  equal than others be a winner be a

  Marathon Marathon best in the long

  you may have thought of your
• 2:25:58
  friendly neighborhood Bonanza
• 2:25:59
  restaurant is just a great place
• 2:26:01
  for steak well we're certainly not
• 2:26:03
  going to argue with you about that
• 2:26:04
  they're proud of their sirloin and
• 2:26:06
  their T-bones and their rib eyes and
• 2:26:08
  their chopped steak but they also
• 2:26:09
  want you to know that Bonanza is a
• 2:26:11
  great place for shrimp and chicken
• 2:26:12
  and fish and barbecue ribs and great
• 2:26:15
  meals for the kids and our
• 2:26:16
  fresh tastic food bar that puts
• 2:26:18
  ordinary salad bars to shame so
• 2:26:20
  don't think of Bonanza as just a
• 2:26:22
  place for great steak think of
• 2:26:24
  Bonanza as a great place to get a
• 2:26:27
  great meal
• 2:26:28
  the A's wind up splitting with the
• 2:26:31
  Tigers in this short two game
• 2:26:33
  series by winning the second game
• 2:26:35
  here this afternoon three to
• 2:26:36
  nothing on a six hit shutout by
• 2:26:39
  Matt Keough Keough racking up his
• 2:26:41
  11th win of the year against 16
• 2:26:43
  losses but Jerry Uger allowed only
• 2:26:46
  three hits in the ballgame
• 2:26:48
  and the Tigers are in the lead
• 2:26:50
  by one to one and the Tigers are
• 2:26:52
  in the lead by one to one and the
• 2:26:54
  Tigers are in the lead by one to
• 2:26:56
  one and the Tigers are in the
• 2:26:58
  lead by one to one and the Tigers
• 2:27:00
  have three hits in the ballgame
• 2:27:03
  but his own wildness in the first
• 2:27:04
  inning was his undoing the
• 2:27:06
  scoring all three runs in the
• 2:27:08
  first without benefit of a hit
• 2:27:10
  and that proved to be enough as
• 2:27:12
  they won it three to nothing
• 2:27:13
  three runs three hits for Oakland
• 2:27:15
  no errors.
• 2:27:16
  They left three men on base.
• 2:27:18
  The Tigers had no runs six hits
• 2:27:20
  no errors and the Tigers left
• 2:27:22
  seven men on base.
• 2:27:24
  You're going the distance
• 2:27:25
  six, walked seven, including three walks in the first inning, and uncorked one wild pitch
• 2:27:31
  in the first.
• 2:27:32
  Akio went the distance for the tenth time this season and struck out four, walking one.

• 2:27:47
  The big story, Ricky Henderson and his pursuit for the all-time base stealing record set
• 2:27:52
  by Lou Brock.
• 2:27:53
  He needed three coming into the ball game.
• 2:27:56
  He got two in the first inning and then was cut down in the eighth inning.
• 2:28:01
  A call that precipitated, a continuing argument resulting in the ejection of Henderson's outfield
• 2:28:09
  teammate, Duane Murphy, and manager Billy Martin as the Tigers came to bat in the ninth
• 2:28:14
  inning.
• 2:28:15

  Well, the story of this game really was written in the first inning, although there were some
• 2:30:09
  later episodes, but they did not really have anything to do with the eventual outcome of
• 2:30:13
  the contest.
• 2:30:14
  In the very first inning, rookie Henderson, the leadoff man for Oakland, came into the
• 2:30:18
  game with 115 stolen bases.
• 2:30:22
  He wanted to at least tie if not surpass Lou Brock's record of 118 stolen bases while the
• 2:30:29
  club was still at home because after this game today, Oakland goes on the road.
• 2:30:34
  Well, Henderson drew a walk from Jerry Euger to lead off the first inning.
• 2:30:39
  Euger just trying to work that outside part of the plate, didn't find it.
• 2:30:43
  Henderson gets on first base.
• 2:30:44
  Now Bill Fahey started behind the plate for the Tigers today because just prior to game
• 2:30:49
  time, Lance Parrish got the call from Detroit that his wife Arlyn was in labor and expected
• 2:30:56
  to produce their second child shortly.
• 2:30:59
  So Lance got out of his uniform, in the street clothes, and went to the airport to head back
• 2:31:05
  to Detroit.
• 2:31:06
  Well, Bill Fahey was called upon to help keep Henderson honest on the bases and it was up
• 2:31:12
  to Jerry Euger to help out too, but Jerry wound up walking Henderson right off the bat.
• 2:31:17
  Well, Henderson on the very first pitch to Wayne Gross took off and stole second base,
• 2:31:22
  number 116.
• 2:31:26
  Then Wayne Gross had a walk finished off to him.
• 2:31:29
  That put runners at first and second.
• 2:31:32
  And then they pulled the double steal.
• 2:31:35
  Henderson moving to third, Gross to second.
• 2:31:37
  So it was Henderson's 117th stolen base.
• 2:31:41
  With Dwayne Murphy at the plate, Euger, still wild, unable to get the ball in the strike
• 2:31:46
  zone, threw a wild pitch and that permitted Henderson to score the game's first run.
• 2:31:52
  Gross moved over to third on the wild pitch.
• 2:31:55
  Well, he finished off a walk to Murphy, three straight walks.
• 2:32:00
  And then Murphy stole second base.
• 2:32:05
  So that was the fourth steal of the inning.
• 2:32:07
  And Tony Armas had a grounded at tramily at only one play at first base.
• 2:32:12
  As Gross came in to score the second run, Murphy moving to third.
• 2:32:16
  And Danny Meyer came up, hit a sacrifice fly to center to score Murphy with the third run
• 2:32:21
  of the inning.
• 2:32:22
  Three runs in, no hits.
• 2:32:24
  Well, the A's wound up getting a single in the fifth inning from Mike Heath, a single
• 2:32:29
  in the seventh from Mitchell Page, and a single in the eighth from Henderson.
• 2:32:34
  And that was the other episode.
• 2:32:36
  With one out, with nobody out, Fred Stanley led off with a walk.
• 2:32:41
  Henderson singled him to second base.
• 2:32:44
  Then Stanley got picked off second base.
• 2:32:45
  That cleared the path for Henderson to try to tie the record of Lube Rock.
• 2:32:51
  Now he took off after several throws to first by Jerry Uger.
• 2:32:54
  And on a pitch out, Fay, he gunned him down.
• 2:32:57
  A very close play at second base.
• 2:32:58
  And the A's argued Henderson didn't believe he was out.
• 2:33:01
  Neither did Billy Martin, who came out for a little show then, came back into the dugout.
• 2:33:06
  Then as the Tigers came to bat in the ninth inning, Dwayne Murphy said something to Derwin
• 2:33:10
  Merrill, made the call at second base on his way to center field.
• 2:33:14
  And he was ejected from the ball game.
• 2:33:16
  Well, Martin came out and he got a ejection as well.
• 2:33:20
  He's quieted down and the Tigers went out one, two, three in the top of the ninth inning.
• 2:33:25
  And the A's had won the ball game three to nothing.
• 2:33:27
  So Ricky Henderson is still one short of tying the record.
• 2:33:30
  And he'll go on the road.
• 2:33:32
  The A's now headed for Minnesota to, or rather for Milwaukee.
• 2:33:38
  And it is expected that Henderson would break the record there this weekend.
• 2:33:43
  But not against the Tigers this time.
• 2:33:47
  Tigers are off tomorrow.
• 2:33:48
  They're going to move up the coast to Seattle to open a four game series on Thursday night.
• 2:33:51
  So much for this game.
• 2:33:52
  I'll be back to check the scoreboard and schedule in just a moment after these messages.
• 2:33:56
  For 1982, Chevrolet has been selling more new trucks than anyone.
• 2:34:14
  And it's no wonder when you have a truck like the new size Chevy S-10.
• 2:34:18
  There's never been a truck like it before.
• 2:34:24
  Now during the Chevy truck sales drive, special incentives to dealers make possible savings
• 2:34:29
  of hundreds of dollars on U.S. 10 and Chevy love pickups.
• 2:34:33
  Plus full size C and K 10 and 20 pickups.
• 2:34:36
  You must take retail delivery by September 22nd.
• 2:34:39
  Check the savings now during the Chevy truck sales drive and you will see why.
• 2:34:44
  Once there was an oil company that had a big idea about a very good product.
• 2:35:04
  The name of the company was Marathon.
• 2:35:06
  And the name of the product was gasoline.
• 2:35:10
  The big idea was to give Marathon's customers something extra every time they visited a
• 2:35:16
  Marathon service station.
• 2:35:18
  The extra was the highest grade fuel additive available.
• 2:35:23
  They injected this long distance additive during every delivery to a Marathon service
• 2:35:28
  station.
• 2:35:29
  This long distance additive helped to give greater gasoline mileage, cleaner, smoother
• 2:35:34
  running engines and lower maintenance costs.
• 2:35:38
  Right when Marathon thinks big, it thinks big for its customers, not for itself.
• 2:35:44
  That way Marathon customers are happy customers.
• 2:35:47
  That's the big idea.
• 2:35:50
  Be a winner.
• 2:35:51
  Be a Marathoner.
• 2:35:52
  Marathon, best in the long run.
• 2:35:57
  Pretty much an off day in terms of day ball in the major leagues.
• 2:36:08
  One game in the American National League this afternoon at Wrigley Field.
• 2:36:11
  The Chicago Cubs spotted the Giants a three to nothing lead then rallied for five runs
• 2:36:16
  in the second inning.
• 2:36:17
  And the Cubs went on to beat San Francisco eight to four.
• 2:36:20
  Eight runs, ten hits, no errors for the Cubs.
• 2:36:22
  Four runs, six hits, two errors for the Giants.
• 2:36:25
  Perky Jenkins started and survived a shaky start.
• 2:36:28
  He went long enough into the eighth inning before giving way to Bill Campbell.
• 2:36:32
  And Jenkins got his ninth win against 13 defeats.
• 2:36:35
  Campbell earning his seventh save.
• 2:36:38
  Rich Gale was the San Francisco starter and the former royal didn't last long.
• 2:36:42
  He was relieved in the second inning.
• 2:36:46
  Holland came on, then Bryning took over in the sixth.
• 2:36:48
  Gale the loser, five wins and 13 losses.
• 2:36:51
  Sularz homered in the first inning for San Francisco his first of the year.
• 2:36:55
  And Bill Buckner hit a three run homer of the Cubs in their five run second inning,
• 2:36:59
  his eleventh of the season.
• 2:37:00
  A 13,712 at Wrigley Field.
• 2:37:04
  Coming up tonight San Diego plays at Pittsburgh.
• 2:37:07
  The Dodgers are at St. Louis.
• 2:37:08
  Philadelphia at Atlanta.
• 2:37:10
  Montreal is at Cincinnati.
• 2:37:11
  And the Mets play at Houston.
• 2:37:13
  The Atlanta Braves have regained first place.
• 2:37:17
  That is a share of it in the National League West by coming back after losing 19 out of
• 2:37:22
  21 ball games.
• 2:37:23
  They have rebounded winning five in a row now.
• 2:37:26
  I think four of them by one run.
• 2:37:28
  And they have come back into a tie for first place with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
• 2:37:33
  San Diego now three games off the face in third place in the West.
• 2:37:36
  Now in the East, St. Louis currently holds a three game lead over Philadelphia.
• 2:37:41
  The Cardinals hosting the Dodgers in a big series there at St. Louis.
• 2:37:47
  In the American League all the action coming up tonight.
• 2:37:50
  Chicago at Cleveland.
• 2:37:51
  Toronto is at Baltimore.
• 2:37:52
  Also in the East.
• 2:37:53
  Minnesota at New York.
• 2:37:55
  And Kansas City at Texas.
• 2:37:57
  Milwaukee at California.
• 2:37:58
  Boston at Seattle.
• 2:38:00
  And in terms of the standings, Milwaukee now with a five and a half game lead over the
• 2:38:05
  Boston Red Sox.
• 2:38:07
  Baltimore seven and a half back.
• 2:38:09
  The Tigers by losing this afternoon have slipped back into a virtual tie with the Yankees for
• 2:38:14
  fourth place at ten games off the face.
• 2:38:18
  In the Western Division, California hosting Milwaukee again tonight as a two game lead
• 2:38:22
  over Kansas City, the Royals busy at Texas.
• 2:38:25
  I'll be back for more from the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum.
• 2:38:29
  After these messages.

  R.A. Tigers so far have played five games out here on the West Coast.
• 2:40:40
  They have managed two wins and three defeats, splitting with the A's in a two-game set.
• 2:40:45
  Losing today, three to nothing, as Matt Keough blanked the Tigers on six hits.
• 2:40:50
  And winning his 11th against 16 defeats, Jory Udger going the distance as well for the Tigers.
• 2:40:55
  Suffered his seventh loss.
• 2:40:57
  He's won seven.
• 2:40:58
  Three runs, three hits for Oakland.
• 2:41:00
  Still runs six hits for the Tigers, who left seven on compared to three for the A's.
• 2:41:05
  The story in the first inning in this ball game, when Udger pitching to Bill Fahey, a
• 2:41:10
  late replacement behind the plate.
• 2:41:12
  Knowing Ricky Henderson was after the all-time stolen base record, did not get the ball over
• 2:41:17
  in the first inning.
• 2:41:18
  Walking Henderson, he stole second, his 116th.
• 2:41:22
  And then after Wayne Gross walked, they pulled a double steal, number 117 for Henderson.
• 2:41:28
  With Dwayne Murphy batting, Udger uncorked a wild pitch, preventing Henderson to score.
• 2:41:33
  And Gross took third.
• 2:41:35
  And Tony Armis then bounced up to get in one run, another run to make it two-nothing.
• 2:41:40
  And the sacrifice fly by Danny Meyer scored the third run of the inning.
• 2:41:43
  And that was all the scoring in the ball game, as Udger gave up only three hits.
• 2:41:48
  But his wildness and inability to keep the base runners in place in the first inning
• 2:41:53
  enabled the A's to score three times.
• 2:41:55
  The Tigers now move on to Seattle for a four-game series after a day off tomorrow.
• 2:41:59
  They'll send out Jack Morris in the opener Thursday night against Mike Moore.
• 2:42:03
  Morris with a record of 14-12.
• 2:42:06
  Moore has won six and lost 10.
• 2:42:08
  Our broadcast coverage for the first three nights from Seattle will begin at 10.15 Michigan
• 2:42:13
  time.
• 2:42:14
  That's it from Oakland for 1982.
• 2:42:16
  For Ernie Harwell, this is Paul Carey saying so long.
• 2:42:19
  Once again, the final score, the Oakland A's three, the Detroit Tigers nothing.
