  The Chicago Cubs faced the New York Mets at Chase Stadium for a Monday evening game on

  September 28, 1970. The Cubs were in second place in the National
• 0:16
  League East but were all but eliminated at four and a half games behind the Pirates with
• 0:19
  five games remaining. They were managed by Leo D'Rochir who brought the team out of the
• 0:23
  cellar in the 1970s but were unable to finish any better than second or third place in the
• 0:28
  past four years. The Mets were managed by Gil Hodges who were coming off their miracle season
• 0:33
  in 1969. They were in third place in the National League East right behind the Chicago Cubs.
• 0:38
  This audio recording is from the Mets radio broadcast featuring announcers Lindsay Nelson,

  The Chicago Cubs are in second place one full game ahead of the New York Mets.
• 1:27
  And so the starting pitchers here tonight for the New York Cubs right hander Gary Chistry
• 1:32
  for the Chicago Cubs left hander Ken Holtzman.
• 1:38
  On a pleasant night for baseball, New York Mets get his set to play their last series
• 1:44
  of the season. The Mets with a record of 81 wins and 77 losses. The Cubs have won 82 and
• 1:50
  lost 76. The Mets one game back of the Cubs and the Mets will have to win three out of
• 1:55
  four to tie the Cubs for second place. The difference for each player will be approximately
• 2:01
  $5 or $600. The difference is finishing second or finishing third in the Eastern Division.
• 2:11
  Here at Shade State in the Cubs have won four of the six ball games played while the Mets
• 2:17
  hold the overall record of nine wins against five losses against Chicago.
• 2:23
  Now as the shortstop John Kessinger comes to the bat as Vox here for the play by play
• 2:28
  by the Mets. Thank you very much for having me on. Hello everybody, I'm Kessinger, switch hitting
• 2:33
  shortstop the National League All-Star. Shortstop is hitting 269 for the year he has one home run
• 2:39
  and 38 runs batted in. He's facing Gary Gentry who has a record of nine wins and nine losses.
• 2:46
  Joe Floyd, third moves in on the edge of the grass. Gary Grote sends out the time for the
• 2:51
  first pitch of the ball game and it's on the way, high and away for ball one.
• 2:56
  Gary stands out the captain on third base but if you can't go comes he's not in the line
• 3:01
  up here tonight he's running a temperature. Here's the pitch that is in the block off
• 3:06
  and now he hates you. He was posted in the line up initially for the New York Mets here
• 3:10
  tonight but he was your mood when it was discovered he also was running a temperature. Here's a
• 3:14
  swing out of five balls in the center of Leroy Stanton moves over and Stanton makes the
• 3:19
  difference. So Kessinger at five to center, Glenn Becker's coming up. Becker's hitting 292
• 3:28
  he has three almost in 37 runs batted in. Second place is still in the balance here
• 3:34
  it would not score that back if the final order of finish had already been determined
• 3:40
  here to pitch outside. Then we would see all sorts of young ball players in these line-ups
• 3:45
  but both batted just are keeping the veterans in in an effort to medial down second place.
• 3:50
  That's a pitch going for a call strike it's one and one. Waiting on deck is Philly Williams.
• 3:59
  Gantry offers a one-one pitch, one run and punches the first base out of Lyons-Lives
• 4:04
  that aren't blended on its first base. A cross-liner just punched out here by Glenn Becker who reached
• 4:09
  across the line. Philly Williams is coming up third leading batter in the National League.
• 4:15
  Williams is hitting 326 he has 42 home runs and 129 runs batted in. It's been a great great year for
• 4:23
  Philly Williams left hand batter. That's in for a call strike. Still in an odd nobody on base.
• 4:33
  Tommy Davis a former veteran swinging about on deck now for the Chicago Cubs.
• 4:40
  That time away it's a call it's one and one. The Chicago Cubs are in second place by virtue of having
• 4:52
  won yesterday while the rest of the losing. Here's a case of a run and miss it's one and two.
• 4:59
  On the coaching lines it's Tina Flowery at third for the Cubs enjoy your mouth for town-o.
• 5:04
  It's on the lines at first base. There's a one-two delivery.
• 5:08
  It's on the ground and a second base it's taken by Wayne Garrett on the off field grass.
• 5:13
  He goes to play on an in-time and the side is reclined. Nothing across and the middle of the first
• 5:19
  score is the Cubs nothing and the Mets coming to bat. Now on the bottom of the first inning
• 5:23
  it's left handed Kenny Holspen to pitch for the Chicago Cubs. He has a record of 17 wins and 11 losses.
• 5:29
  Kenny Holspen against the Mets this year has won none and lost two his lifetime record against them.
• 5:35
  It's four wins and eight losses and Lee Roy Stanton is coming up. He's been most of these season at
• 5:41
  the side water in the international league. The Mets typically farms up.
• 5:49
  He's been up three times since he was brought up at the closing season without a yes.
• 5:54
  He's the right hand batter. Lee Roy Stanton.
• 6:03
  Holspen delivers this first pitch and it's going away.
• 6:07
  Going all the way back off the ground with a humbly. On the coaching lines it's going to have 80 yoses at third
• 6:12
  and Yogi Farah is the coaching first.
• 6:16
  It's a full night here at J City.
• 6:20
  Pleasantly cool. Here's the one-oh-delivery.
• 6:24
  Going on it in the air and a deep right field way back. Going back to City with us to the track and he's got the ball
• 6:30
  down to the second base. He's got his way to third. His second three lay across the down.
• 6:35
  Danches face to third as the ball hits him in the head. He is switched out now on his back across the back.
• 6:43
  The relay from Becker took a hop and hit Stanton in the head. He had lost the helmet on the spread
• 6:50
  so he was hit on the bare head.
• 6:52
  Benner Tom Machiner is out to see about him now and here comes Jill Hodges.
• 6:56
  He hasn't hit that ball way back out in right. Billy Williams went across the warning track, got to the wall
• 7:03
  and his hands on the ball but dropped it.
• 7:06
  And so Stanton was already approaching second. He came on to third and Becker took the relay from Williams
• 7:12
  and the ball took one hop and hit Stanton in the head.
• 7:20
  That will bring up Wayne Garrett. He's scored as a triple for Learoy Stanton. A triple.
• 7:27
  He is still being attended.
• 7:39
  The Learoy Stanton has cast his first Major League Base hit, a three-backer.
• 7:51
  The Learoy Stanton has been on the ball for a long time.

  The Learoy Stanton has been on the ball for a long time.
• 8:07
  Leon Jones, Yogi Berra, Don Glendenen have all gone there to see about the condition of Stanton.

  He started the ball again in place of Tommy Asche. After Asche he had been examined by Metzine's position.
• 8:22
  Dr. Peter Lamato determined that he was running at temperature and suggested that he be pulled out of the lineup.
• 8:36
  Let's see the Cubs will be here again tomorrow afternoon.
• 8:39
  That was tomorrow night. I'll take you for a night game on Tuesday night. Tomorrow night. A stretcher is being brought out now.
• 8:46
  The ground is going to bring out a stretcher.
• 8:55
  The Learoy Stanton was sliding into the bag. The ball hit him as he dipped into the slide. Having arrived at the bag, he then keeled over.
• 9:09
  He is now getting to his feet. The stretcher is going to be taken off.
• 9:15
  Leon Jones, Unused. Glendenen has a towel there. He is breaking Stanton off.
• 9:25
  Yogi starts back to the dugout. He turns and looks back over his shoulder.
• 9:29
  The trainer is leading Stanton off to the field.
• 9:48
  He is walking off under his own power.
• 9:51
  The trainer is holding in firmly by the left arm and Rod Gaspard is coming out to replace him.
• 10:00
  Rod Gaspard replaces Learoy Stanton with a triple and leaves again.

• 11:24
  Benidigit is at third base in place of Ron Santo for the Chicago Cubs. With an eye on young brother Wayne Garrett who has a 2-0 count.
• 11:45
  The Mets with a record of 81 wins and 77 losses. The Cubs have won 82. Lost 76. They are one game ahead of the Mets.
• 11:54
  Three-0 pitch. He is taking it in there. Call strike. Three and one.

  This is the same on-piring crew that works the Pittsburgh New York series. Just completed in Pittsburgh.
• 12:04
  It is a hand-picked on-piring crew put together for the crucial series here at the finish of the season. Inside a walk.
• 12:15
  Garrett goes to first. Gaster running for Stanton as a third and Leon Jones is coming up.
• 12:22
  He is hitting 270. He has 10 homers and 63 runs back at end. The Cubs are playing an infield of Jim Hickman at first base.

  The Mets go out and fought by a score of one another. John Quendon is coming up. Quendon has had 93 runs batted in this year. The Mets club record is 94. Set by Frank Thomas in 1962.
• 13:51
  Pitch to the right-hand batters. He keeps the right field. Moving over to Billy Williams. He ends up in the track and makes a catch. The side is out. One run. On one hit a walk. No errors.
• 14:05
  At the end of an inning the score is the New York Mets one and the Chicago Cubs. Nothing.
• 14:20
  Well keep in mind that the New York Mets and the Chicago Cubs will be meeting here again tomorrow night. It's going to be Jerry Cruzman pitching for the New York Mets against Mill Pappas of the Chicago Cubs.
• 14:32
  Then there will be a Wednesday afternoon game here between the Mets and the clubs. Then comes Thursday night. That is the season finale. Here is Shays. The final game of the year from the New York Mets. It's fan appreciation night as well.
• 14:44
  Now it will be an early start. The game will start at 7.05. 7.05 PM is the starting time on Thursday night for the finale between the New York Mets and the Chicago Cubs.
• 14:56
  Here is Shays. He is in the battle for second place. And the standings have the National Division. Houston Division.
• 15:27
  Wide gas first. He stays in the ballgame for the Mets and center field. Now Tommy Davis is coming up. Tommy Davis is coming up for the Chicago Cubs.
• 15:44
  As if it's as low for a ball. Tommy Davis. And the pitch in there for a call strike. It's 1-1.
• 16:07
  This is swinging his right foul down the left field line and out of play. It's 1-2 out of Tommy Davis. He's hitting 2-80. He has 4 almost in 35 runs batted in.
• 16:25
  The third baseman here tonight is Paul Popovich. Paul Popovich. There will be batting number 7 in the batting order. Here is the 1-2 pitch and it's going away for a ball. It's 2-2. Jim Hickman leaning on the bat in the on-deck circle.
• 16:45
  And the 2-2 delivery. Fire it outside. It's 3-2 to Tommy Davis. Gary Gentry. Here is the Mets pitcher. He's 1-1 in the last one.
• 17:06
  Gary Fires high and walks Tommy Davis. So Davis goes to first place and is Jim Hickman coming up. Hickman is hitting 3-17. He has 32 almost in 115 runs batted in.
• 17:28
  What a year Jim Hickman has had for the Chicago Cup. Breaking pitch going away as Leo DeRosha said at one point during the course of the season there were many occasions when Jim Hickman cares this clever on his back and did he ever.
• 17:46
  There's nobody out. Davis leaves it first. 1-0 pitch and it's 2-2 on the ground. Joe Foyer has it. He goes to Wayne Garrett. There's 1-2 to 1st double play. A 5-4-3 double play pulled off for the Mets.
• 18:00
  Joe Foyer at Wayne Garrett. He's on clean. There's a 5-4-3 double play pulled off. Nobody on base and Joe Peppercorn is coming up. Peppercorn is hitting 360. He has 25-17.
• 18:20
  No Peppercorn. He has the next reading here in today's study. One time outfield in first place in the New York Yankees. Kennedy Houston Astros.
• 18:30
  Kennedy Chicago Cup. That's just high for a ball. And the season series between these two games and that's at 1-9 and the Cubs at 1-5.
• 18:46
  This game is a make-up of a game previously reigned out in Chicago. Here's a clean as well. Austin out of play. We see for the play-dumpter who is at Vargo. All Popovich, the third baseman is on deck. All Popovich. A switch hitter.
• 19:04
  But not Garrett at third as we've been previously reported. The pop of it. In place of Sanchez. Here's a 1-1 delivery. 6-1-5-1. All out of play.
• 19:24
  1-2 now to Peppercorn. Adrian Garrett is here. He's with the Chicago Cubs. But he's not in the lineup. It is Popovich. He's playing third base and plays Sanchez. He'll catch it.
• 19:38
  1-2 is the count now. And the pitch. Low for Ball. It's 2-2.
• 19:58
  1-2-2. 2-2 pitch. 1-5-1. Good out of play. Low on the count hole. That's two balls and two strikes. And that's your leading here by a scorer 1-9.
• 20:12
  If they can pull off a victory they will move into a flat-footed tie with the Chicago Cubs. And they'd have three games to play to determine who's going to move in the series.
• 20:22
  He took so much off of that that he had to have a dunk way out in. He just barely managed to do. Copping Shook and get the ball.
• 20:32
  Low on. No it shouldn't go.
• 20:42
  2-2 delivery. Fastball high on the way and it's got four 3-balls and two strikes.
• 20:56
  Here's the playoff pitch. Down off and out of play. Might have been out of the strike zone. The count remains full.
• 21:06
  Everton is back in and waiting.
• 21:24
  Here's the playoff pitch. It's going on and on the ground. G-first big off the climb down and he races to the back unassisted. And the start is restart.
• 21:40
  And the Cubs nothing. That's your leading 1-0 and Ron's for a vote. A right hand batting right-sealer is up to lead off.
• 21:55
  And it's low for the ball. 1-0. Joe Foy is now on deck.
• 22:11
  And a base hit. Ron first on his way to second. Bobby Davis up on the ball. Raising him to third at second.
• 22:27
  So, Ron Flavotta has up and up with a ground double.
• 22:30
  Over the bag is third and Joe Foy will be the batter for the next.
• 22:34
  Hitting 239, he has six almost and 37 runs by the next.
• 22:38
  By the way, if you're thinking of starting up a savings or checking it out,
• 22:41
  drop into any convenience chase man at the right.
• 22:44
  Remember, you've got a friend of Chase man at member FDIC.
• 23:00
  All pop of it, you're third dive for that ground ball, it was between him and the bag.
• 23:04
  Here's a clean across, just a little passenger one hand,
• 23:07
  plays the first in times, will both of moves over to third on the infeel on.
• 23:11
  He's a passenger, moves swiftly to his left and with a thrust of the glove came up,
• 23:15
  through on the first and down to get point.
• 23:18
  So now the Mets have a run or a third with one man up and Jerry Gode is up.
• 23:28
  Gode is a right hand batting catcher, he's hitting 257, he has two home runs and 34 runs by the next.
• 23:37
  Make the look down at the time man, 80 yokes at third base.
• 23:51
  He's going to swing the ball all back and out of play.
• 23:53
  We have a report now from the Mets glove house on the condition of Lee Roy Seth,
• 23:57
  a Mets outfielder who was hit on the head by a thrown ball in the first inning.
• 24:03
  Dr. Peter Lamotte has examined that man in the glove house
• 24:06
  and he is reported to be resting and OK.
• 24:12
  We have 5-1 fish to go to, the clubs have the infeel down,
• 24:15
  decided to choke out the run into place.
• 24:18
  At low for ball, it's one and one.

  Good play by Crenvenon as he battled that ball, went down to one knee and came up with it.
• 39:37
  So it's two away and it brings up Tommy Davis.
• 39:41
  Tommy walked his first time up.
• 39:46
  He has two ready for the season. He has four home runs, 35RBI.
• 39:56
  Tommy Davis, right hand batter.
• 40:01
  Gentry's pitch, that's Roll and Davis with a hard-fling midfielder strike one.
• 40:07
  Met's lady won nothing.
• 40:11
  He's out, top of the fourth inning.
• 40:19
  One strike, pass ball fouled back.
• 40:24
  He's a down strike here.
• 40:33
  Williams had to finish on the road this year, 14 games. They have one five and lost five with four more to go here today.
• 40:41
  Here's a two strike mid, just rolling the count one and two.
• 40:47
  They opened up a Montreal, won three out of four, then went to St. Louis, won one out of three.
• 40:55
  Breaking ball outside, they got two balls and two strikes.
• 40:59
  They rolled off here, they won one out of three.
• 41:08
  Two balls, two strikes. Gary Gentry working with Tommy Davis. Then the pitch.

• 41:51
  Jim Equin's biggest moment as a New York Mets player was when he had three home runs and one ball game in St. Louis, Cardinal.
• 42:11
  Now the one open, breaking ball down low, two balls, no strike.
• 42:17
  San Francisco did not score in the top of the first inning. They're playing at Houston.
• 42:23
  Houston now coming up.
• 42:33
  San Francisco are game up from the Dodgers fighting for second play.

  Here's a ground ball down toward short, cut off by Floyd.
• 42:39
  That's where the second base, Wayne Garrett in time for the fourth play to retire on the side.
• 42:45
  One hit, no errors and one man left on in the score.
• 42:49
  At the end of three and a half innings, a Mets one, it's got no job nothing.
• 42:57
  First batter, Fordamets will be their left fielder, Cleon Jones.
• 42:59
  Cleon hit into a double play his first time up.
• 43:02
  And on the double play.
• 43:04
  That's got their first run and only run in the ball game.
• 43:08
  Let's have one run on two hits. They made no errors and Cubs have no runs and two hits and they made no errors.
• 43:16
  Cleon hitting two 77s, then home run 63 RBI.
• 43:21
  Ken Holtzman a left hander going for the Cubs and his first pitch to Cleon.
• 43:26
  It is low ball one.
• 43:29
  Cleon will be followed by John Clandin and Ron Spavoda.
• 43:37
  Now Holtzman back in the one open.
• 43:40
  It is inside ball two. Two balls no strike.
• 43:43
  And a two-hole high fly ball to center field.
• 43:58
  And over is Joe Pepitone also there, Billy Williams.
• 44:01
  And Pepitone makes the call and gets and Cleon is out. That is Cleon 500 times to the plate.
• 44:08
  There's no time to that. That's 138 hits.
• 44:14
  Now John's running the batter.
• 44:17
  Clandin is wide out to right on his first pitch his first time up.
• 44:30
  In the American League Minnesota will be playing Baltimore in the championship playoffs.
• 44:36
  First pitch is swung on and foul over towards the Met dugout strike one.
• 44:41
  Minnesota is shooting up for that playoff defeating Kansas City one to nothing.
• 44:48
  Tom Hall a running pitcher is record 11 and 6.
• 44:52
  Bernowski in the ninth inning in relief.
• 44:56
  Now strike two. Los Angeles is recognized in 15 all month.
• 45:03
  On the American League schedule Chicago also playing against California.
• 45:09
  Next pitch around it towards third taken by Paul Popovic as he moves to his left to throw to first base because it comes in second up.
• 45:17
  That's leading one nothing with Ron Spavoda coming up.
• 45:23
  And then the national eight stands for Cisco. Nothing Houston nothing after one.
• 45:27
  Ron Bryant looking for the giant in the 5 and 7.
• 45:30
  That's Billy Lamb looking for Houston is record 12 and 9.
• 45:35
  And Francisco battling the Dodgers for second place.
• 45:38
  If they send a second this year it will be the fifth year that they have any second in a row.
• 45:43
  One game up in the Dodgers.
• 45:46
  The Dodgers not playing tonight.
• 45:48
  Ron Spavoda hit a curve ball down the left field line for a base hit. A two base hit his first time up.
• 45:53
  And now he hits a high high fly ball to Cal-A-L.
• 45:56
  It's up there.
• 45:57
  Coming in to Tommy Davis he's under the ball and he makes a catch in the Saturday's return in order.
• 46:04
  Nine in a row for Ken Ulzman and the score at the end of four.
• 46:08
  The next one is Chicago comes nothing.
• 46:12
  This is Lindsay Nelson with Bob Leppie and Ralph Kiner at Chase Stadium in New York and Joe Pepetone is up for the Cubs in the top of the fifth.
• 46:19
  Gary Getry Spick is outside for a ball.
• 46:22
  Pepetone's been up one time and he grounded out the first base unassisted.
• 46:26
  The New York Mester leading by a score of one to nothing.
• 46:30
  Joe Foy is on the edge of the infield grass.
• 46:32
  Getry Spick curve ball down low. It's two and off.
• 46:36
  And it's got their run in the first inning.
• 46:39
  And there's that first and third. Cleon Jones in into a double play and Gasper running for Stanton.
• 46:44
  Score from third. That's the only run that has crossed the plate in this ball game.
• 46:48
  Stanton has triple leading off for the Mets and was injured.
• 46:51
  And he was hit by a thrown ball.
• 46:53
  Swing a par ball back up first.
• 46:55
  Benning Joyamao Patano around. He's the coach down there at first.
• 46:59
  Two and one.
• 47:01
  Well, Popovich is on deck for the Chicago Cubs.
• 47:10
  And he had a short right field.
• 47:12
  Moving up is Ron's Robota. He's underneath and waiting for the towering top fly.
• 47:16
  And he makes the gap.
• 47:19
  Popovich is coming up. He's been up one time and he had a base hit.
• 47:22
  He is a switch hitter.
• 47:24
  Getting left against right. And Gary Getry.
• 47:26
  Popovich is playing through the base here and plays a run.
• 47:29
  Stanton tonight.
• 47:44
  He's a train. A ground ball hit the deep first.
• 47:46
  It's a fair ball.
• 47:47
  When Benning's playing the Getry in time, a three-one play for the Ops.
• 47:50
  Now Barley making the fair ball call down there on the ground ball smash card back up first.
• 47:55
  Two away.
• 47:57
  Kept her around the underlies.
• 47:59
  He's been up one time and he's fly it out to center field.
• 48:05
  Left her batting in the top of the fifth inning.
• 48:15
  Suddenly missed a good part of the season with a broken hand.
• 48:18
  The pitch is low on the way. Misses everything. Comes all the way back.
• 48:21
  The ball is out.
• 48:24
  God is one and all.
• 48:39
  One-o delivery.
• 48:41
  High and tight for a ball. It's two and all.
• 48:52
  Brody sends out the sign. Here's the two-o pitch.
• 48:56
  Now right off the end of the bat, it goes two balls and one strike.
• 49:12
  Barley moving back into the batter's box.
• 49:16
  The entry is two-one delivery. It's one-on and missed.
• 49:23
  A high hard one and it's two and two.
• 49:37
  This will be a two-two pitch.
• 49:41
  One-on and foul down the left field line.
• 49:44
  The ball is out of play.
• 49:48
  Five-and-ten years. Two balls and two strikes.
• 50:05
  Two-two delivery.
• 50:08
  High and tight. It's out for a three-two.
• 50:11
  When Joe Becker, the Chicago Pitching Coach, came down with a heart seizure about a month ago,
• 50:19
  Herman Franks was signed on as a coach by the Cubs.
• 50:22
  That pitch is outside. It is a walk. The first, the second given up by Jethroy.
• 50:30
  Hadley goes to first and Fisher Kinney-Holtzman's coming up.
• 50:33
  So Herman Franks is in uniform down at the corner of the Cubs dugout.
• 50:37
  A long time close friend of manager Leo DeRochert.
• 50:41
  Herman Franks in four years at the helm of the San Francisco Giants in a second four years.
• 50:49
  Meanwhile, Joe Becker recovered and came back.
• 50:56
  Making pitch one-on and missed strike one.
• 50:58
  Holtzman's been up one time. Tried to sacrifice and it's dead. Popped up.
• 51:02
  Getting two-o-two for the year.
• 51:08
  Hadley leads his first year's a swing and a miss. It strikes two.
• 51:11
  Don Kessinger's on deck. The Mets are leading the Cubs one to nothing.
• 51:15
  Cubs are batting in the top of the fifth inning.
• 51:21
  Will be an o-two delivery. He's on the way.
• 51:24
  Right over the top of his head and glove by a big rust to the glove of Jerry Grote.
• 51:28
  He's dragged Edwin in. One and two.
• 51:38
  Giants in Houston no score in the second inning now.
• 51:41
  Ronnie Bryant and Jack Billingham.
• 51:44
  Curve ball a little high. Two and two.
• 51:47
  The American League, the Minnesota twins beat Kansas City one-nothing.
• 51:51
  Tom Hall got the win. Dick Gregor took the loss.
• 51:54
  The White House are at California in a latest start.
• 52:01
  This will be a two-two pitch.
• 52:04
  One on and hot-dust. His shortstop.
• 52:06
  Carroll's in there on the osteograff. He makes it back.
• 52:09
  It's no run-through. It's no run-through to walk in one left.
• 52:12
  In the middle of the fifth inning, the score is the Mets one and the Cubs nothing.
• 52:16
  Joe Foy has been up one time and he grounded out.
• 52:20
  Short to first.
• 52:22
  Mets are batting in the bottom of the fifth inning now.
• 52:37
  Kenny Holtzman, the pitcher tonight for the Chicago Cubs, has a season circuit of 17 wins and 11 losses.
• 52:43
  He's trying for a career high in victory in one season.
• 52:46
  19-69, he won 17 last 13.
• 52:58
  Now Holtzman's pitch and it's in for a call strike.
• 53:02
  He's in the lead.
• 53:11
  Again, Randy Hunley sends the sign off.
• 53:15
  And the pitcher breaks in there for a call strike to the Joy Foy.
• 53:20
  The Mets have had two hits and so have the Chicago Cubs.
• 53:39
  That's going away from all. It's one and two.
• 53:42
  The Chicago Cubs, starting play tonight, had a one-game lead over the New York Mets.
• 53:47
  This is a four-game series. The Mets have to take three of the four in order to finish second.
• 53:53
  The head of the Chicago Cubs and the fanning of the National Division National League East.
• 53:59
  They're just swinging a foul ball off and out of play. It's one and two.
• 54:20
  One two pitch, one and foul down. Holtzman's one and two.
• 54:29
  The all-time Major League record in pay attendance for a season is 2,755,184.
• 54:37
  As you've been told, that was the attendance of the 1962 Dodgers. It included two playoff games against the Giants that year.
• 54:51
  As they finished in the tie at the end of the regular season.
• 54:54
  As the swing in the Mets, Holtzman gets his second strike out, toy swinging.
• 55:01
  Jerry Goad is coming up now. He's set up one time and was on on a field of choice and he dribbled them out of the left side.
• 55:08
  And Swabota, who had opened with a double and gone to third on an infelon, was thrown out at the plate.
• 55:15
  The New York Mets needs just 26,859 to match the record for second high-paid attendance in a season in the Major League.
• 55:26
  That was the 1948 season in Cleveland.
• 55:33
  In the Cleveland, India. That's fantastic attendance all year long.
• 55:39
  The Mets is just 26,859 short of that mark. That's still vaccine.
• 55:45
  Here's a pigeon for a cost like managed by a fellow who is working just next door.
• 55:50
  Lulegle Drone, one of the broadcasters now for the Chicago Cubs. Lulegle has recently been inducted into a Hall of Fame.
• 56:01
  One-one pitch. He's on the ground to short. A big half up to Don Kessinger.
• 56:06
  Cross to Hickman and Grodius out two-way.
• 56:09
  That'll bring up Bud Harrelson. He's been up one time.
• 56:11
  Tried to run his way out on a bang-bang play at first base. He was called out.
• 56:16
  Getting 242 for the season. The Mets are batting in the bottom of the fifth inning. They are leading in this game by a score of one and nothing.
• 56:35
  Now, a whole fun look, then, to get a shot from Randy Hunley.
• 56:44
  He's going into the motion. Here's the pitch and a time away from home. It's one and all.
• 56:51
  Here is John Fee wearing the jacket here tonight on deck.
• 56:55
  It's a life for a jacket. Here's a plan. A pitch to 10 for a call to track. It's one and one.
• 57:03
  That's when the Cubs hear again tomorrow night and on Wednesday afternoon and then the finale on Thursday, a 7-0-5 start.
• 57:11
  Here is Jay Sade. That's in for a call to track. It's one and two.
• 57:19
  Last year, the New York Mets finished with a two-game set against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
• 57:24
  When the Mets got there, everything had already been settled. The Mets had already won and the Cubs had already cleaned second place.
• 57:32
  One two pitch. Inside, two two. The Farage finished third last year in the St. Louis Cardinals finished fourth.
• 57:41
  The Phillies were fifth and Montréal was sixth.
• 57:48
  Here's the two-two delivery. It's one-hundred on the ground. Paul, just back a third.
• 57:53
  They worked hard on the ground but out of play and it's two balls and two strikes.
• 57:57
  The Giants didn't score in the top of the second Houston coming to bat. No score in that ballgame.
• 58:04
  Giants now one game ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West.
• 58:09
  Giants are in second place. The Dodgers are in third place.
• 58:15
  Two-two delivery. Hit on the ground to third. Paul Popovich is up with it.
• 58:18
  Place it across. In time to Hickman and the side is out in order.
• 58:22
  Hickman is closing it across and at the end of five, fullening to play the score is.
• 58:27
  And that's one and the Cubs nothing.
• 58:30
  Joe Foy moves up to the edge of the infield grass and now on to the grass.
• 58:35
  Against the ability of Captain Jitter lays that ball down.
• 58:42
  Nice baseball. Cliz is on the message board and right. Here's a pitch low for a ball.
• 58:47
  Can you identify the player who is the first pinch homer in World Series history?
• 58:52
  Can you identify the player who is the first pinch homer in World Series history?
• 58:57
  There's a pitch inside. It's two and off.
• 58:59
  The answer will be posted on the message board and the bottom half of the inning.
• 59:12
  We have two-0 delivery. Low for a ball. It's three and out of Captain Jitter.
• 59:19
  You know the National League won a long time before there was ever a National League Grand Slam homer in a World Series.
• 59:26
  A long, long time. Three-0 pitch to Captain Jitter. It's outside. So it's the lead-off walk.
• 59:34
  That's the third walk issued by Gentry. He gives the Cubs the time on its first and nobody out and Glenn Beckert's coming up.
• 59:41
  He has lined out the first and tried to send her so far.
• 59:44
  The people of Rhymes already mind you that a beautiful America is up to you. Please don't litter.
• 59:50
  The first time that the National League ever had a Grand Slam homer in the World Series was 1962.
• 59:56
  Chuck Hiller, out of the San Francisco Giants it is.
• 1:00:01
  He now manages the Met's Tidewater team in the International League.
• 1:00:05
  The pitch to Beckert is low for a ball. And then Ken Boyer, get a Grand Slam homer.
• 1:00:11
  The war of the National League Cardinals in the 1964 World Series.
• 1:00:25
  We have one-0 delivery.
• 1:00:27
  To the low, Gentry's gone behind to an oh-nod to Beckert. And he's followed by Billy Williams, the Met's number one nothing lead.
• 1:00:36
  Don Glenn down to the first base and walks over to the mouth.
• 1:00:39
  He's trying to get Gentry settled down a little bit as the plate has begun to move around on him.
• 1:00:44
  Gentry has not struck out a batter here tonight so far.
• 1:00:58
  Two-0 pitch. Right down to five. Beckert is taking it, two-and-one.
• 1:01:13
  For the year, Beckert's hitting two-neighty-one. He's knocked in 37 runs.
• 1:01:29
  Gentry's hitting delivery. Right down to five. It's two-and-two.
• 1:01:44
  Gentry takes a look around before getting set again.
• 1:01:48
  Check for runners.
• 1:01:52
  They're swinging a high stopper at the top of the plate. Brody has it. You go to first, he's in fast.
• 1:01:58
  Gentry's on a question to the second.
• 1:02:00
  For one brief moment, Beckert's thought the ball was foul.
• 1:02:03
  He was hanging around the batter's dock. It was chopped off the plate high out of the fair territory.
• 1:02:09
  Brody had to wait for the ball to come down. Gentry was aware of where it was. He was on his way to second.
• 1:02:13
  Now Billy Williams is up.
• 1:02:17
  He's down to the second to first. Down to the first base of the pitch.
• 1:02:20
  And each time he hits the ball hard to the right side, third leading hitter in the National League, Billy Williams.
• 1:02:29
  He's hitting 3-25 now for the season. He's got a great year.
• 1:02:40
  The manager of the Montreal Expo has been looming the Cubs Billy Williams for MVP honors. He thinks he's the most valuable player in the league.
• 1:02:55
  That's them for Carl Stryke.
• 1:02:57
  There are a lot of other people who think Johnny Bench, if he's Cincinnati Reds, is.
• 1:03:06
  The first one is the counter Williams. Tommy Davis is swinging the bat on deck.
• 1:03:10
  Gets to your lead to the second. There's one man off.
• 1:03:13
  Threw a ball, and misses. And as a plus throw by Brody, Gets and your hustle is back to the bag.
• 1:03:18
  It's second. It's one and one.
• 1:03:22
  That's trying to protect the one nothing lead here in the top of the sixth inning.
• 1:03:25
  The mess got there, running the bottom of the first.
• 1:03:35
  Here's a one-one pitch. One and two. He's pushing all the way around to the Redwood.
• 1:03:56
  The entry set check. Check the run of his second. One through to Williams.
• 1:04:00
  He's gone and pops up. Powerback is very distant, goes to Stans.
• 1:04:05
  Boy goes to the wall, but it's out of play. About a half a dozen of the lower back and the lower field boxes.
• 1:04:09
  Pull the counter holes at one ball and two strikes.
• 1:04:11
  Williams hitting that one off to the left side. Out of play.
• 1:04:25
  The Cardinals are not playing tonight. They'll start a series half-home against the Pittsburgh Power.
• 1:04:30
  Tomorrow night. And fourth place. Two and a half games ahead.
• 1:04:36
  It's a little dusty Philly. Playing a five-all off and out of play.
• 1:04:40
  That one's also back into the lower field boxes. Down holes at one and two.
• 1:04:48
  Montreal Expos are in sixth place. But they're only a game and a half back into Philly.
• 1:04:55
  And they have four games back up to St. Louis Cardinals.
• 1:05:03
  Carl Morton. The pitcher for the Montreal Expos.
• 1:05:06
  He's going to get a lot of work for the rookie of the year in the National League.
• 1:05:12
  One and two to pick. And he's hit the pitch ball. He's on the leg.
• 1:05:17
  He's going to be going to first base.
• 1:05:20
  As just to be fired that ball inside and low.
• 1:05:23
  Williams gets rid of the pass. Hits down to first.
• 1:05:26
  A hit batsman.
• 1:05:29
  Here's the Cubs run at the first and second and brings up Tommy Davis.
• 1:05:33
  Davis has walked and sangler right for you.
• 1:05:36
  You picked up by the Chicago Cubs from the Oakland A's for what they hope would be a stretch run
• 1:05:42
  toward the Canada and the East Division of the National League.
• 1:05:46
  He was hitting 283. He's had four homers and 35 runs out of them.
• 1:05:54
  He's the native of Brooklyn. He came to the major leagues with the Dodgers.
• 1:05:58
  But for the time he got there they had moved to Los Angeles.
• 1:06:01
  He can second his season. He led the National League in batting.
• 1:06:04
  And he came with the New York Method.
• 1:06:07
  That's low for a ball.
• 1:06:10
  Destin Gears the runner is second. Williams. Here's that career.
• 1:06:15
  Tommy Davis is with the Houston Astros.
• 1:06:18
  It's a finish of the season.
• 1:06:24
  Gentry sets up.
• 1:06:27
  Third ball outside. It's 2-0.
• 1:06:30
  Davis is followed by Jim Nickman in the club batting order.
• 1:06:34
  And let's have a one-messing lead with the Cubs is threatening here in the top of the sixth inning.
• 1:06:39
  The wind is ripping the flag out for a left.
• 1:06:46
  2-0 offering to Tommy Davis.
• 1:06:51
  Going out and he's to the left of the Oklahoma State Fair.
• 1:06:55
  And it is going, going, going a home run for Tommy Davis.
• 1:07:00
  A three run homer for Davis.
• 1:07:04
  And the Chicago Cubs have taken a 3-1 lead over the mess.
• 1:07:20
  That is number five for Davis in the home run department.
• 1:07:24
  Cubs three the Mets one.
• 1:07:27
  Jim Hickman is coming up.
• 1:07:29
  He has it into a double play and got it into a fourth play so far tonight.
• 1:07:34
  That is Davis' second home run as a Chicago Cubs.
• 1:07:40
  As a Christian for Cubs. The other three was the Oakland A.
• 1:07:44
  Doug McGraw gets up to throw in the middle bit.
• 1:07:47
  McGraw is up and throwing.
• 1:07:51
  That is half for a ball. It's one and one.
• 1:07:54
  Well hit by Davis. Right down the left he lined more of a lined drive than a fly ball.
• 1:07:59
  There's a one, one fit.
• 1:08:03
  And it is tying away two and one now.
• 1:08:06
  Well the Cubs scoring three big ones here in the top of the sixth inning ahead of the Mets.
• 1:08:18
  Two, one fit.
• 1:08:19
  And on a count of three it's charged by Floyd on the entry of that he throws the first in the box.
• 1:08:26
  Two away is Joe Peppentown.
• 1:08:28
  And that he's got about the first place he's tried to right.
• 1:08:52
  That tied away for a ball. One and all.
• 1:09:02
  No fit.
• 1:09:04
  Wimper is off strike to Peppentown. He doesn't think so.
• 1:09:09
  He shoots the ball to Ed Vargo, the unbarred place.
• 1:09:15
  Gensley off his one one. Gains up the style off and it's one and two.
• 1:09:26
  The home run by Davis was only the third hit for the Cubs.
• 1:09:30
  Off Gary Gensley but the Mets are that only two off Kenny Olsman.
• 1:09:41
  One and two to the left.
• 1:09:46
  Next wing he started it around. Vargo says he didn't swing it.
• 1:09:49
  But he says, I see unbarred third.
• 1:09:52
  Unbarred third.
• 1:09:53
  And Ed Thudall says no he didn't swing.
• 1:09:55
  Both two, two.
• 1:10:08
  Big change up at play or tie.
• 1:10:19
  Doug McGraw continues to throw in the bull bend for the Mets.
• 1:10:26
  They are off six.
• 1:10:28
  Far on and tops up Sal Brody.
• 1:10:30
  He may have a play or a turn.
• 1:10:32
  And then he comes down and draws and makes the shot.
• 1:10:34
  The score of the side is recised. Three runs on one hit.
• 1:10:39
  A walk of hit by Thudall.
• 1:10:41
  The number of the sixth inning. The score is the Cubs three and the Mets one.
• 1:10:45
  Now the New York Mets are coming up in the bottom of the sixth inning.
• 1:10:50
  They are trailing by two runs here.
• 1:10:56
  Jim Foley is going to pass for Gary Gensley.
• 1:10:59
  Jim Foley is swinging bats on deck and it is Foley batting for Gensley.
• 1:11:03
  You'll hide your toes to his back to the Mets trailing by two.
• 1:11:06
  Doug McGraw on the bull bend.
• 1:11:15
  Jim Foley is an infielder by trade.
• 1:11:18
  He's hitting three thirty three.
• 1:11:20
  He's been up only six times. He's had two hits.
• 1:11:32
  Jim Foley is on the left hander.
• 1:11:41
  Here's the pitch point.
• 1:11:43
  He's hit up the right center.
• 1:11:45
  And it's a tie.
• 1:11:47
  Jim Foley out of the way.
• 1:11:51
  This is a little pop out of the short right center.
• 1:11:54
  That's Jim Foley.
• 1:11:56
  The New York Mets have the tie and run coming to the plate now.
• 1:11:59
  Rod Dastry coming up three seconds.
• 1:12:02
  He's bowled out the first in the third inning.
• 1:12:04
  And to the baseball quiz.
• 1:12:06
  Mets coach Yogi Berra hits the first pitch home run in World Series history.
• 1:12:10
  He's in for the Yankees against the first-time Dodgers on October 2nd, 1947.
• 1:12:20
  That's Jim of Lest Go Mets.
• 1:12:22
  Now Rod Dastry is up a switch at the batting line.
• 1:12:25
  He's got a hit and brought up out of the Mets.
• 1:12:30
  It's his half the ball.
• 1:12:43
  Tickman is holding against the runner at first base.
• 1:12:50
  Oldsman's best check to the runner. Here's the pitch. And it's low for Paul.
• 1:13:01
  There's a finish here tonight.
• 1:13:02
  He's hit.
• 1:13:03
  He's 21,670.
• 1:13:05
  The total attendance is 22,300 points.
• 1:13:09
  To pay it again, 21,670.
• 1:13:12
  Here's a pitch in for a call of strike.
• 1:13:14
  Here's the pitch.
• 1:13:34
  Holy. He's off the bat at first base. This will be a 2-1 delivery. It's on the way.
• 1:13:44
  He makes the catch.
• 1:13:45
  So there's one man out. We've lost.
• 1:13:48
  Resetion identification. This is the New York Mets baseball network.
• 1:13:53
  This is New York Mets baseball on WKHAFM 102.3 in Saratoga Springs, New York.
• 1:14:02
  This is Lindsay Nelson with Bob Murphy and Ralph Ketter.
• 1:14:05
  He chased him in New York, where the Cubs are leading the Mets by a score of 3-1.
• 1:14:10
  He's running at the bottom of the sixth inning with one man out and a runner at first.
• 1:14:13
  Wayne Garrett's up. He has walked a slide to right.
• 1:14:20
  Oldsman with the pitch. Swung on.
• 1:14:22
  He's checked on.
• 1:14:24
  He's taken high. He started this way and checked it.
• 1:14:27
  And umpire, as Margot says it's a ball.
• 1:14:29
  One and all. Leon Jones is on that.
• 1:14:40
  Can't hold from the injection.
• 1:14:42
  The old sling has gone down to the right.
• 1:14:44
  He's on the last second. He's on the point of third.
• 1:14:47
  Here's the ball coming in the second.
• 1:14:49
  He's back to second and down.
• 1:14:51
  The throw was going to show the second.
• 1:14:54
  Billy Williams thought he was going to second.
• 1:14:56
  He's back in the second and he's back in the second.
• 1:14:59
  William's throw went in the second.
• 1:15:01
  Oli had gone around and came to a skidding halt.
• 1:15:04
  He had went diving back in the second.
• 1:15:07
  The only thing that saved him was the fact that the Cubs were unaware he was coming back.
• 1:15:12
  So no play was made on me.
• 1:15:14
  He went by and diving back in.
• 1:15:16
  The Cubs were sure that he had gone out in the third base.
• 1:15:19
  Oli is the second.
• 1:15:21
  Jasper's at first.
• 1:15:23
  Bruce may have hit and coming back to the next one.
• 1:15:26
  So the flying runs are on base with one man out and Leon Jones is coming up.
• 1:15:35
  Gareth's base hit.
• 1:15:37
  Gareth's base hit.
• 1:15:39
  Gareth's base hit. Gareth's base hit.
• 1:15:41
  Gareth's out at first base.
• 1:15:43
  One man out. Leon Jones is up.
• 1:15:46
  He's in the double play in class.
• 1:15:48
  He's up in the fifth of Jones and it's low.
• 1:15:51
  Wayne Gareth landing that ball to right and Williams came up with a conceded third to Oli.
• 1:15:57
  He came to a skidding halt and then went back in.
• 1:16:03
  It was just a second.
• 1:16:05
  It was covering second.
• 1:16:06
  He didn't know he was coming back and belatedly made a tag.
• 1:16:09
  Here's a swing and a drive.
• 1:16:11
  And I got the third.
• 1:16:12
  He's out.
• 1:16:13
  Go to second.
• 1:16:14
  He's out.
• 1:16:15
  A double play.
• 1:16:16
  Leon Jones has lined into a five-four double play.
• 1:16:19
  He hit a shot to pop a bit.
• 1:16:21
  He's third.
• 1:16:22
  He tied the back at the double-fourly off the back at second.
• 1:16:25
  It is the second double play.
• 1:16:27
  Jones has hit into the ninth and the side is retired.
• 1:16:31
  It is no run through.
• 1:16:33
  It's no error than one left in the sixth inning.
• 1:16:36
  The Flavus score is the top three and the best one.
• 1:16:42
  86-70s this year.
• 1:16:43
  Doug McGraw has allowed 76-86.
• 1:16:47
  He had his problems the first half of the year,
• 1:16:49
  but has been a very strong relief as you're down the stretch.
• 1:16:55
  Twisted-air ball pop of it will lead off against Doug McGraw
• 1:16:58
  as we go to the seventh inning.
• 1:17:00
  Let's continue to hit into hard luck.
• 1:17:02
  Leon Jones waning into a double play.
• 1:17:07
  86-70s this year.
• 1:17:08
  Doug McGraw has allowed 76-86.
• 1:17:12
  He had his problems the first half of the year,
• 1:17:14
  but has been a very strong relief as you're down the stretch.
• 1:17:20
  Twisted-air ball pop of it will lead off against Doug McGraw
• 1:17:23
  as we go to the seventh inning.
• 1:17:25
  Let's continue to hit into hard luck.
• 1:17:27
  Leon Jones waning into a double play.
• 1:17:35
  Chicago three runs, three hits and no errors.
• 1:17:38
  New York one run, four hits and no errors.
• 1:17:40
  Doug's leading on a three run homer hit by Tommy Davis.
• 1:17:53
  Houston leading a stand for the first go three-nothing
• 1:17:55
  in the fourth inning.
• 1:17:57
  Giants and Dodgers have a similar battle going for second place
• 1:18:00
  in the Western division of the National League.
• 1:18:03
  Giants at the moment lead the Dodgers by one game.
• 1:18:06
  Giants have had a very good
• 1:18:09
  second half of the year after a very bad first half.
• 1:18:16
  Ball pop of it has singled a center
• 1:18:18
  and bounced back to Douglas.
• 1:18:19
  Lyndon won for two.
• 1:18:25
  One day in and the major leagues this afternoon,
• 1:18:28
  Minnesota, blank Kansas City, won the nothing.
• 1:18:31
  At a towering top up is fouled on the first base line.
• 1:18:35
  Lyndon on the coaching lines,
• 1:18:37
  put it away for the off.
• 1:18:42
  One pitch by Doug McGraw, he retires five of it
• 1:18:44
  and it brings up Randy Hunley.
• 1:18:46
  Catcher Randy Hunley has flagged the center
• 1:18:49
  and drawn a walk.
• 1:18:51
  One out and nobody on in the top half of the seventh.
• 1:19:07
  It's by Doug McGraw, inside and low, one ball and no strike.
• 1:19:14
  Whether wise it has been a very comfortable evening,
• 1:19:17
  it has not been too cool.
• 1:19:19
  And the one-oh delivery,
• 1:19:21
  fast ball off the outside corner,
• 1:19:23
  two balls and no strikes.
• 1:19:25
  Kenny Holtsman is scheduled at next.
• 1:19:28
  Holtsman at the age of 24 already has had two 17 game seasons.
• 1:19:33
  At a tie, he lays off three and 0.
• 1:19:54
  This is over for a ball, strike is three and 1.
• 1:19:57
  Right hander Joe Decker and another right hander,
• 1:20:03
  Big Jim Donegan warming up in the Cup Bullpen.
• 1:20:06
  At a foul, at the end of the bat, up into the crowd,
• 1:20:09
  it's three and two now on Randy Hunley.
• 1:20:13
  Fishing the second means at least $1,500 a man,
• 1:20:18
  it could mean more.
• 1:20:20
  It could be up to $5,000, about $2,400 a man.
• 1:20:23
  All down three and two on Randy Hunley.
• 1:20:28
  The payoff that's climbed the draw, strike three ball.
• 1:20:31
  Good fast ball over the inside corner.
• 1:20:38
  Two outs and nobody on and then Holtsman will be hitting.
• 1:20:42
  He has been out trying to front when he popped up to Glen Denon
• 1:20:46
  and he hit a pop light about Hells.
• 1:20:49
  He must work on Kenny Holtsman,
• 1:20:51
  he has some talent as a hitter and he has 21 base hits this year.
• 1:20:59
  On the inside corner, strike one.
• 1:21:01
  Without research, you get to be accurate.
• 1:21:03
  But as a guess, I would say you can count on your two hands.
• 1:21:06
  The number of pitchers in the National League
• 1:21:08
  with over 20 hits this year, swinging out of it.
• 1:21:14
  Bob Gibson of the Cardinals certainly has been
• 1:21:16
  the best hitting pitcher in the league this season.
• 1:21:21
  Two strike delivery by Doug.
• 1:21:23
  At a pop foul, down the left of your line,
• 1:21:25
  it will be out of play into the crowd.
• 1:21:37
  Last time we looked,
• 1:21:39
  Bob Gibson and St. Louis already had some 33 base hits.
• 1:21:52
  Two strike count on Kenny Holtsman,
• 1:21:54
  the pitch by McGraw, high on the way.
• 1:21:56
  One ball, two strikes.
• 1:22:06
  Pitching one and two.
• 1:22:08
  Change of bounce foul,
• 1:22:10
  back toward the on-deck center, occupied by John Kessinger.
• 1:22:14
  So it's one and two on the Cub pitcher, Kenny Holtsman.
• 1:22:17
  Cub's leading 3-1, they got three on one swing to the bat
• 1:22:20
  and the sixth inning when Davis cracked a three-run homer.
• 1:22:25
  Home run by Tommy Davis,
• 1:22:27
  with a lion drive over the auxiliary scoreboard
• 1:22:29
  and up into the lower section left field.
• 1:22:32
  Just a little bit lower.
• 1:22:34
  Two balls and two strikes.
• 1:22:42
  Lost the most win tonight.
• 1:22:44
  They will be in a position of needing to sweep the remaining three games.
• 1:22:51
  The 2-2 pitch by McGraw, way inside,
• 1:22:54
  he made him wiggle, the count goes full, three and two.
• 1:23:08
  3-2 delivery, swung in as frankly.
• 1:23:11
  Tom McGraw comes on to get the Cub's in on it.
• 1:23:14
  No runs, no hits, no errors, none left.
• 1:23:17
  The 7-putting stretch time in the middle of the 7-putting.
• 1:23:21
  The Chicago Cub's three, the New York Mets one.
• 1:23:26
  A night game with the Cub's tomorrow night and afternoon game on Wednesday.
• 1:23:30
  The last game of the season, Thursday night is 7-0-5 p.m.
• 1:23:34
  It will be fan appreciation
• 1:23:37
  by way of showing appreciation to the most wonderful and loyal fans on the land.
• 1:23:42
  The Mets will give everyone who attends the Thursday night game
• 1:23:45
  and attract these February's three.
• 1:23:47
  Complete with colorful Mets posters.
• 1:23:49
  They will prove mighty useful around the house, I'm sure.
• 1:23:53
  Things like yep, that every Mets fan will enjoy having.
• 1:23:56
  So plan to be on hand, fan appreciation day.
• 1:23:58
  Thursday night with the Mets close out against Chicago, game time 7-0-5.
• 1:24:03
  And Don Glenn Dunn will be up against Jimmy Olsman in the last half of the 7.
• 1:24:15
  Don Glenn Dunn, Ron Sloboda and Joe Foy will bat in the last half of the 7.
• 1:24:18
  Proud and better than 22,000 standing down for the 7-putting stretch.
• 1:24:22
  The Mets will give everyone who attends the Thursday night game a chance to play the game.
• 1:24:46
  Joe Foy is now playing for his base.
• 1:24:56
  And Leo James has gone to center field for the Chicago Cubs.
• 1:25:02
  So Jim Hickman comes out of the lineup.
• 1:25:18
  Speedy young Leo James now playing for his field.
• 1:25:23
  Will Peppetone is playing for his base.
• 1:25:27
  Glenn Dunn has tried to deep right and Don's about to third, nothing for two.
• 1:25:33
  Mets have not been able to get their hitting attack going at least.
• 1:25:37
  Pitch back any Olsman that's playing no straight line.
• 1:25:50
  Here's the pitcher on the way taking up by one ball and one strike.
• 1:26:01
  Mets score their only run in the first inning.
• 1:26:04
  That's the result of a triple by Leroy Stanton.
• 1:26:10
  Olsman out of his wind-up, here's the pitch, it off the end of the bat.
• 1:26:13
  Now it's one ball and two strikes.
• 1:26:17
  The first inning Leroy Stanton tripled a deep right off the glove of Billy Williams up against the wall.
• 1:26:24
  The relay throw struck Leroy in the back of the head and he was forced to leave the ballgame.
• 1:26:29
  Gaspard came in.
• 1:26:31
  Gaspard scored as Cleon Jones hit into a double play following a walk to Wing Garrett.
• 1:26:38
  The one-two delivery, swing, head and Mets, then three.
• 1:26:46
  Mets' defender Ken Olsman, his third strike out of the game.
• 1:26:50
  Ron Slebotta has doubled it down the left field line and flyed out to left one for two.
• 1:27:12
  Pied away one ball and no strikes.
• 1:27:17
  Old Billy here tonight watching the ballgame with John Hodges.
• 1:27:38
  And the pitch on the way, last ball outside, two balls and no strikes.
• 1:27:52
  Two-oh delivery.
• 1:27:54
  This is the inside corner ball, three for another.
• 1:27:58
  Mets leaves the Cubs in the season series, nine games to five.
• 1:28:03
  They won seven out of eight at Rigley Field this year, one game was rained out.
• 1:28:07
  Los Chicago has had the advantage here in New York winning four of six plays.
• 1:28:12
  And a strike on the outside corner, three and one.
• 1:28:24
  And Olsman delivers three and one, swing and a miss for the fastball, three and two.
• 1:28:39
  Houston three and a chance, nothing's happened to Fifth Avenue.
• 1:28:55
  The fourth strikeout, Bill Foy has been up twice, fast and short and struck out.
• 1:29:17
  And the center's pitch on the way, breaking ball inside, one ball and no strikes.
• 1:29:32
  On the outside corner, the knees, one and one.
• 1:29:43
  The Cubs in front, three to one.
• 1:29:48
  And a swing and a miss, a curve ball, a striking curve ball by Kenny Olsman.
• 1:29:51
  One ball and two strikes.
• 1:29:53
  Olsman is trying for his 18th win here this evening.
• 1:30:02
  Jerry Grootie waiting his turn in the undexed.
• 1:30:08
  And a pitch, fastball strike three and a problem done.
• 1:30:13
  Kenny Olsman is struck out only two over the first six innings, struck out the side.
• 1:30:19
  No runs, no hits, no errors and none left.
• 1:30:22
  At the end of seven, the Chicago Cubs three, but New York lets one.
• 1:30:30
  In the evening, Don Kessinger faces Ted McGraw.
• 1:30:35
  First strikeout, Don Kessinger has twice flat, the center has drawn a walk.
• 1:30:47
  McGraw getting his hands on Jerry Grootie.
• 1:30:50
  He's flying straight away, Don Kessinger, he's batting right in.
• 1:30:54
  And the grounder back to the bound, staffed by McGraw, he reaches over his head, throws the glimpses and one down.
• 1:31:05
  He's a happy stand-in for Wayne Garrett of New York City, six thousand sevens.
• 1:31:12
  Now have one of Wayne's baseball playing brothers, Adrian Garrett, he's traveling with a ball club.
• 1:31:22
  Then Becker does the batter, 0 for 3, lying to first, flagged the center of the front out of the squib.
• 1:31:27
  And his overbodies strike one goal.
• 1:31:33
  Left-handers, Fulters throwing easily in the New York West Bullpen.
• 1:31:40
  Low and outside of the screwball, one ball and one strike.
• 1:31:51
  One one delivery, a little bit high, he lets it go, two and one.
• 1:31:55
  Willie Williams on deck, then Tommy Davis.
• 1:31:59
  Doug's lead, 3-1 on a three run homer by Tommy Davis, swinging in a miss, it's two and two.
• 1:32:05
  Ben Becker is certainly one of the toughest men in baseball to strike out.
• 1:32:09
  He's a contract ambassador.
• 1:32:11
  Last year, he was the least struck out batter in the National League.
• 1:32:17
  Now back over the screen.
• 1:32:33
  Two-two delivery, he's popped up on the left side of the infield, a arms signal by Bud Harrelson.
• 1:32:38
  Between second and third, he takes it easily for the off.
• 1:32:44
  Then McGraw and relief has retired five in a row.
• 1:32:50
  Willie Williams has bounced to second, bounced out to first, and his last time up, he was hit by a pitch ball.
• 1:32:57
  And it was after he was hit by the pitch that Tommy Davis lined one over the auxiliary scoreboard into the feast to bring three runs in.
• 1:33:07
  High fly ball, it's the center field.
• 1:33:10
  Coming back, Rod Gaffer now returns, he's under it, and makes a jump.
• 1:33:16
  No runs, no hits, no errors, then left off.
• 1:33:19
  Two superb innings at relief by Doug McGraw.
• 1:33:22
  In the middle of the eighth inning, the Chicago Cubs three, but a yard mess won.
• 1:33:26
  Very goody, and Bud Harrelson will be the first two men up.
• 1:33:29
  Then Doug McGraw, he's dead to him.
• 1:33:37
  McGraw has just gone as Danny Priscilla warming up along with Rich Colgers in the middle school.
• 1:33:45
  Very goody has reached down a field of choice, bounced out, short nothing to see.
• 1:33:51
  And he holds him, getting stronger as the game has progressed.
• 1:33:54
  In the last inning, Gaffer's back.
• 1:33:57
  And it's outside, ball went.
• 1:34:00
  Gaffer's done well against the whole city of Lifetime, but against the York Four wins and eight losses.
• 1:34:13
  Here's the 1-0 delivery, goody, bluffing it about, the pitch is in first strike, one ball, one strike.
• 1:34:25
  The Mets and the Cubs are battling for second place in the Eastern Division, a giant from Dodgers have the same battle going into Western Division.
• 1:34:33
  The 1-1 delivery, slow, bounding ball, coming in to the San Cusins Hill, the Hulls busting back.
• 1:34:40
  Hulls play it as goody as that.
• 1:34:46
  What a way of nobody on that, Harrelson will be the batter, and Kenny Singleton comes up out of the dugout and into the undead circle.
• 1:34:53
  And the Hulls are little ahead for a dozen of them.
• 1:35:02
  The Hull is fattened, he's got a tough break, he's starting his first Major League ball game tonight.
• 1:35:08
  The first fan of batting in the first inning has the lead off batter, he's the ball.
• 1:35:13
  The ball is out of the way, and as he slid into third the relay throw on the first stop hitting the back of the head, and forced him out of the ballgame.
• 1:35:25
  On the outstrike corner, one ball, one strike.
• 1:35:28
  Here's Roy is alright and resting comfortable.
• 1:35:31
  It was just a pointy night for him and he was off to set the big start.
• 1:35:38
  The Hull is the only one hitched to buddy Harrelson, he's fouled off the end of the crowd.
• 1:35:43
  End of the crowd and Hull in the first base dugout.
• 1:35:48
  The crowd go three runs, three hits with no errors, New York one run, four hits with no errors.
• 1:36:01
  A one-two delivery fouled again by Hull, and the wrap looking himself by the crowd reaction,
• 1:36:08
  the one in the grandstand out there came up with a downflip.
• 1:36:19
  15-1-2, ground ball off the pitcher's glove, wrapped now by a messenger, and begged the puppet-filling in time for the out, teaming down.
• 1:36:28
  Gives the pitcher an assist and he deflected the ball slightly, and Kenny Singleton bats for Doug McGraw.
• 1:36:43
  Kenny Singleton is going to get 260, promising young off the edge from Mountain Bird in New York.
• 1:36:59
  He's got a lot more left in it, you see a lot more right-hand pitching than left. Off the outside corner it's ball one.
• 1:37:15
  Kenny Yo, supposed to get third, wants to talk to Kenny Singleton. Beyond deck batter is Rod Gaster.
• 1:37:36
  The next one will have a new pitcher in the game in the ninth inning, both Falkers and Priscilla are one and up.
• 1:37:47
  Kenny bounced foul on the ground back towards the visiting dugout, one ball and straight. Somebody must have come to the game directly from a wedding.
• 1:38:07
  The one-one delivery, low and outside is two-and-one.
• 1:38:22
  Pitching here and one, and a fast ball to the east, even the count of two balls in two strikes. The off field deep against Kenny Singleton, and they figure him as a pull hitter, they swing around the left.
• 1:38:43
  Holstens 2-2 delivery, swing on, that's strike three. Kenny Yo Holstens has certainly been strong the last two innings. That is his first strikeout. No runs, no hits, no errors, none left.
• 1:38:56
  At the end of eight innings at Cherry Stadium, this is five-0-3, the New York Mets one. Now Danny for the start-up, those in his one-muffs, and we get set for the ninth inning, we call for station identification, this is the New York Mets baseball.
• 1:39:11
  This is your New York Mets baseball station in Sarasoga Springs, New York, WKAJ FM, one-o-two-point-three on your dial.
• 1:39:26
  Bob Murphy with Lindsay Nelson and Ralph Chainer. The ninth inning is Jey and the Cubs lead three-to-one. They lead on a three-round homer by X-Met Tommy Davis and the Sixth inning.
• 1:39:37
  Doug McGraw in two innings of relief retired at 16-0. No runs, no hits, he walked Danny's strikeout two.
• 1:39:45
  Danny for Sulla, like Doug McGraw, worked in two of the three games over the weekend in Pittsburgh, and again turned in two fine relief appearances.
• 1:39:55
  Danny for Sulla has certainly helped the New York Mets.
• 1:39:59
  Danny has won seven, lost only three. In 49 innings of relief pitching, Danny for Sulla has given up only 23 base hits.
• 1:40:17
  The old rule of thumb in baseball for a pitcher is that if you give up fewer hits than any fish you're doing a good job, as long as your strikeout ratio runs ahead of the walks you give up.
• 1:40:29
  And Danny for Sulla has certainly on the plus side in all departments.
• 1:40:36
  Tommy Davis leading off with a ninth inning and the pitcher's low ball one.
• 1:40:41
  Tommy Davis two for two and a one. He has two of the three hits collected by Chicago in the ball game.
• 1:40:48
  The other was a single in the third inning by top of it, and a strike on the outside corner, one and one.
• 1:40:58
  If the Cubs win, they would have a two-game lock on second place with three games to go.
• 1:41:04
  That's going to be in a position where they would have to sweep the remaining three.
• 1:41:13
  Danny for Sulla over the head, down comes the pitch, call strike on the inside corner, one ball and two strikes.
• 1:41:27
  Pitching one and two.
• 1:41:29
  And the problem is he's struck him out with a fourth ball.
• 1:41:34
  Danny for Sulla with his fourth ball, he strikes on Tommy Davis.
• 1:41:39
  Now clean out with James, who's done his field here, will bat for the first time in the game.
• 1:41:51
  You know, the only thing that's going to impress you about a White House regardless of how it tastes compares to other cigars.
• 1:41:58
  I appreciate a White House cigar, you have to smoke their cigar.
• 1:42:05
  Now the fourth ball is taken high, one ball, no strikes, the right hand is batting, clean out James.
• 1:42:11
  Down ball hit hard toward the hole cut off by Joe Floyd, and the pick is off to Blinder and two down.
• 1:42:21
  He's been away top of the night, and then he brings up Joe Puppeton.
• 1:42:36
  You always hear the crowd reacting when Puppeton doesn't touch you.
• 1:42:45
  Puppeton with power, that's playing around the right, and the pick is onside ball one.
• 1:43:02
  Here's the wind up by for Sulla, swing, and miss, and bat one ball and one strike.
• 1:43:09
  Now to the third run, three hits, the York one run, four hits, misses, and an anchor.
• 1:43:18
  Now a little squibbler, and Joe Floyd, nothing to lose, not the couple, it throws the first time he does.
• 1:43:28
  No runs, no hits, no errors, and a miss.
• 1:43:31
  In the middle of the ninth inning, the Spaddle seven three, the other yard missed one.
• 1:43:35
  Robert Abbott and one of them coming up against the ocean.
• 1:43:40
  The postman has retired, the last seven batters to face it.
• 1:43:44
  He started the thing, he's up and saying he started the thing against it.
• 1:43:48
  The most part came on on the sixth inning was one-off.
• 1:43:51
  Leon Jones with a blistering lion drive, he was caught by Puppeton, and then he was a double play.
• 1:43:59
  Here's the picture, he's got a lot of time.
• 1:44:05
  And the first baseball fan, four on the third one, he's got a much better run.
• 1:44:12
  Here's the picture, Leon Jones with a one-off and one strike.
• 1:44:21
  And the first one is open to the crowd.
• 1:44:30
  Here's the one-one to look at, inside is lower, and the other side is still lower.
• 1:44:33
  That's good, that's good.
• 1:44:36
  And the other side got a little nicer.
• 1:44:45
  The change of the line, and a pass ball on the outside corner, that's two balls and three strikes.
• 1:44:52
  Maybe also trying to score, it's 18-17.
• 1:44:56
  Over the first time, he has 118-8.
• 1:45:00
  Twice including this year, he's won 17.
• 1:45:05
  The change of the line, and it's up by ball three, three and two.
• 1:45:14
  And the only guy that's on deck, is Wayne the only left hand hitter on the line.
• 1:45:18
  And he has hit the ball as hard as anybody else in the line.
• 1:45:21
  With a long drive to the right of the scot, and a single drive.
• 1:45:28
  The change for Ian Thurston, strike three call, after the scotless.
• 1:45:36
  Kenny Holstman has his seventh strike out of the game.
• 1:45:41
  I'm not sure if we'll enough about Kenny Holstman.
• 1:45:44
  Five of the seven strikeouts have come in the last three innings of the game.
• 1:45:50
  A cool night, and a kind of night, but a pitcher certainly can stay strong.
• 1:45:56
  Wayne Yard has walked fly deep to the right, single to the right field.
• 1:46:08
  On the inside corner, it's called strike one.
• 1:46:11
  That's all at the level. Get it? It's not like the call.
• 1:46:19
  Leon Jones is on deck.
• 1:46:28
  And the pitch on the way, here is the strike of the outside center.
• 1:46:39
  The last three innings he has been wearing, is when he's watching.
• 1:46:46
  He strikes the liver.
• 1:46:48
  Strike three call, after the outside corner.
• 1:46:51
  He grabs the bat off of each other, and goes out on three pitchers. The eighth strikeout for Kenny Holstman.
• 1:47:11
  That was not only three hits, but they lead the game three to one, and were about a half of the match.
• 1:47:17
  Leon Jones has gone over three, and it is a hit in the two double plays.
• 1:47:24
  And so on is the Leon, the last time it was pure hard line.
• 1:47:28
  He hit a hard line drive, but right after those those come top of it.
• 1:47:36
  And the pitch on the way, a drive in the right, a base shot.
• 1:47:41
  On, Run Open track.
• 1:49:41
  We are the most realistic of the attention in the center field, this is Leo James.
• 1:49:46
  He wants him to come more toward the alley and less center to play key or friend doesn't.
• 1:49:51
  That's more of a pro hitter.
• 1:49:53
  Realizing that he will start, please, we'll be going for the home run.
• 1:49:58
  A strategy ball one.
• 1:50:00
  Most of them realizing that there's a friend there and there, he must be turning to 50 miles outside.
• 1:50:05
  Not giving the push that he can pull.
• 1:50:08
  Leo James drifting still deeper and more toward left center field.
• 1:50:15
  And the push.
• 1:50:17
  High drive, the speed, the left field, this is a high ball here.
• 1:50:21
  Let's go, it's a home run.
• 1:50:51
  Again, a side 3-3. A two run homer with two out and last of an accident by Don Glengen.
• 1:50:59
  It was an awesome shot, landing in the very back of the visiting bullpen, flip over the batter.
• 1:51:05
  High and away ball one.
• 1:51:07
  Glengen with a two run homer now has 95 runs out of this, which is a new mixed club record.
• 1:51:15
  One over delivery and a side to court the whole in the right field of the event.
• 1:51:21
  The running run is on, it's in and out.
• 1:51:26
  Three hits and a roll is a little bit of a yard net.
• 1:51:29
  Not to all hit right off the end of the batter, it's a little bit of a boulder.
• 1:51:32
  Not hits too hard, but in the hole, it rolls slowly into the right field.
• 1:51:37
  Glengen with a last over run, also one of the ball games in the yard net when he hit it off the end of the boulder.
• 1:51:42
  Glengen with a 95 RBI, as Colombs made use of it in racing the old way.
• 1:51:49
  It's a three-time as the first year.
• 1:51:52
  And the pitch outside the Joe Boy ball one.
• 1:51:58
  Three to three and a last of an accident.
• 1:52:00
  The running run is on, first feed out.
• 1:52:03
  And that's a rally after two or out and nobody else.
• 1:52:06
  And the ball, a pop up of the foul behind the plate, the batter, and the hummly.
• 1:52:13
  And he makes the catch.
• 1:52:17
  Right against the screen, and the hummly gets the pop foul all four his fouls.
• 1:52:22
  We're going into extra one.
• 1:52:25
  Two runs, three hits.
• 1:52:30
  No errors in one left off.
• 1:52:33
  John from Glengen's last moment.
• 1:52:36
  Two out home runs, buying up the ball game.
• 1:52:39
  At the end of the night at 8, he's got a rubber tree, put a yard net tree.
• 1:52:53
  The environment's farer than just word.
• 1:52:56
  It's the state of mind.
• 1:52:58
  You're aware of the world around you.
• 1:53:00
  Have you forgotten what good environments like?
• 1:53:03
  Then take time this summer to visit some of the places where the principles of good environment are practiced.
• 1:53:10
  Visit a national forest or a wildlife refuge.
• 1:53:13
  See wildflowers growing along a country road.
• 1:53:16
  Hike along a trail in the park.
• 1:53:18
  Listen to the sound of a thrush singing in the sun.
• 1:53:21
  Make sure swim in a clear mountain stream or lake.
• 1:53:25
  There are literally thousands of places where good environments still exist in America.
• 1:53:30
  Now what you're fighting for and why?
• 1:53:33
  Take a state and write the travel director at the state capitol for vacation ideas.
• 1:53:38
  Places where the environment's still good.
• 1:53:42
  A travel perfection from the departments of interior and agriculture.
• 1:53:57
  We go to the San Antonio, any first dollar, pitching to New York.
• 1:54:08
  That's what you look over in the night.
• 1:54:10
  And the leadoff batter will be Paul Fahbovitz playing third base tonight.
• 1:54:17
  Bob Lillick will switch him.
• 1:54:19
  As one for three, he's single back in the third inning.
• 1:54:22
  New York three runs, Southern hits the no air, Chicago three runs, three hits the no air.
• 1:54:28
  Boston's last two home runs have been big wins for New York.
• 1:54:33
  One again in Philadelphia with a home run in the last inning off the show.
• 1:54:37
  And he ends in this backland defeat here tonight.
• 1:54:40
  By hitting a home run with a man on with two outs and nobody on.
• 1:54:45
  When they started the thing, Leon Jones got the rally started with a two out thing.
• 1:54:51
  Something must be bothering Danny for selling.
• 1:54:55
  Joe Hodges is on his way to the mound.
• 1:55:03
  All the players gathering around Danny for selling.
• 1:55:07
  Joe Hodges out there speaking with him.
• 1:55:19
  Somebody out there calling coming over now to find out what's going on.
• 1:55:38
  Whatever it is, Danny obviously is going to stick it out.
• 1:55:50
  That's what we love the winters.
• 1:55:56
  Three to three, top of the 10th inning.
• 1:55:58
  Paul Fahbovitz is the batter with Randy Hunley on backhand in Kenny Holton.
• 1:56:03
  Here's the pitcher on the way, fastball taking the high ball away.
• 1:56:17
  Old third, Lloyd Weller on the top of the cup bullpen.
• 1:56:21
  It is both side, ball two, two balls and no strikes.
• 1:56:33
  And Danny for selling starts his wind up delivers.
• 1:56:36
  It's over at the knees of Paul Strath.
• 1:56:49
  Here's the two one delivers a smash on the ground right out of the wing there.
• 1:56:52
  He gobbles it up close to him.
• 1:57:02
  It's getting cold, boy, and a wide end.
• 1:57:04
  And Lloyd Weller on the knuckle ball, that's how it ends up bullpen.
• 1:57:08
  Because Kenny Holton, the pitcher, is scheduled about next.
• 1:57:17
  Randy Hunley has flagged his center, reached on a walk and been called out on strikes.
• 1:57:24
  Which by Danny for selling, is over strike one goal.
• 1:57:35
  Randy Hunley has been held at 70 games this year because of injury.
• 1:57:47
  Willie Smith has come out on deck.
• 1:57:49
  He's going to hit for Kenny Holton.
• 1:57:52
  And the pitcher will put a new pitcher in the ball game for the last half of the 10-20.
• 1:57:58
  Houston still leading San Francisco, 3-0 there in the 6th.
• 1:58:04
  2 strike delivered around the 100th point on the next 3-3.
• 1:58:12
  Douglas Law retired in a row in relief.
• 1:58:16
  Danny for selling has now retired 5 in a row in relief.
• 1:58:22
  Willie Smith is going to bat for Kenny Holton.
• 1:58:33
  Willie a left hand batter, getting 2-17.
• 1:58:40
  Well, Kenny Holton is out of the game after pitching 9 and he allows 3 runs, 7 hits.
• 1:58:46
  He was very, very close to his 18th one of the year.
• 1:58:51
  The Devils were leading 3-1, 2 outs and nobody on in the last of the 9th.
• 1:58:56
  Leon Jones single to right and Don's under an armored to tie the game.
• 1:59:03
  Here's the pitcher on the way.
• 1:59:05
  Inside it, Lord Willie Smith.
• 1:59:10
  Willie, a little hitter, both the infield and the outfield around the right.
• 1:59:18
  The batters sell out fastball high, 2 balls and no strike.
• 1:59:39
  Danny for selling side again, the pitch to Willie Smith, a high foul fly and a shallow finicky.
• 1:59:45
  Rod gas for range again, he's under the draw to beat on a time like this.
• 1:59:51
  Danny for selling, gets the carry 20-3 again.
• 1:59:55
  No runs, no hits, no errors, no luck.
• 1:59:58
  In the middle of the 10-30.
• 2:00:00
  Chicago country, but a yard from the ring.
• 2:00:04
  Luxurious living, some people would be happy to live anywhere that's decent and safe.
• 2:00:11
  Planting a vacation trip, some people would like enough money to take a bus trip across town and back or pay their rent.
• 2:00:20
  A lot of us are proud to say we worked hard for what we have, but some of us would welcome the opportunity to work hard.
• 2:00:28
  A vital community creates these opportunities, a community of people who want to do more than just talk about their problems.
• 2:00:35
  People who organize community action groups, plan neighborhood parks and start daycare centers, create jobs.
• 2:00:42
  And a working community renews itself.
• 2:00:45
  More jobs lead to better homes, cleaner streets, self-respect.
• 2:00:50
  Some people do what they can to improve their communities, but others always wait for the next try.

  Right to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, that's HUD Washington, D.C. 20410.
• 2:01:07
  Don't wait for the next guy.
• 2:01:15
  Hello sir, 47-year-old Hoyt Wilhelm.
• 2:01:18
  Now, thank you for your cargo.
• 2:01:20
  Well, Hoyt Wilhelm is third of his parents, and is being purchased from the Atlanta Braves.
• 2:01:26
  It's been a good year for him, Mr. Ballard. He won sixth and lost fourth. This will be a 53rd game of the year.
• 2:01:33
  The 80s to 47-year-old Hoyt Wilhelm is still a mystery to the National League of Youth.
• 2:01:39
  He passed down out early. He was revived by the Phillies.
• 2:01:44
  He was successful against Wilhelm, and that's what this went on.
• 2:01:48
  Usually, he was a lot more than riding on power, I think.
• 2:01:52
  Because in more trouble, the power here is taking a big portion.
• 2:01:57
  Usually, they have a lot of trouble against Wilhelm's troubles.
• 2:02:08
  John Herbal warming up for New York, with the bottom of the body water hitting,
• 2:02:13
  where in the bottom of the water is the same thing.
• 2:02:16
  Very good. He is over three.
• 2:02:19
  At least on the field of choice, twice around about the coast.
• 2:02:23
  The knuckleball is on, and one ball in the middle of the coast.
• 2:02:27
  Wally Huntley handling Wilhelm's knuckleball.
• 2:02:36
  The line goes by like that, but it's the road.
• 2:02:39
  One ball in one place.
• 2:02:43
  What a hell is going on here beyond those bodies.
• 2:02:47
  Knuckleball is so neat, though, of the amount of blades
• 2:02:51
  considered by the health of the best knuckleball winner in the National League.
• 2:02:57
  It's one-on-one.
• 2:03:01
  And the picture underway, Knuckleball is back doing what?
• 2:03:05
  Any Holstman in nine innings, about three runs, seven hits.
• 2:03:09
  Issued only one walk and struck out easy.
• 2:03:13
  Six of the eight strikeouts came in the last three innings of the game.
• 2:03:21
  We're going to miss the end of this.
• 2:03:24
  Just what Holstman appeared to be at his very best in the game,
• 2:03:28
  when that suddenly struck his eye.
• 2:03:31
  He had retired nine in a row when Leon June Single with two outs in the ninth inning.
• 2:03:36
  The team's run through. Bowzip, no play, and the cast is complete.
• 2:03:50
  This is the record at the moment,
• 2:03:52
  our white Wilhelm and Danny Prussell.
• 2:03:55
  Well done for you, scion, between delivery.
• 2:04:03
  Now the two tickets, and the brown ball hits.
• 2:04:06
  There are a big success going down the left field line.
• 2:04:09
  Woody, a round first, the final's the latest second base.
• 2:04:13
  And the winning run is on the left.
• 2:04:16
  A round double, right over the bank.
• 2:04:19
  Very good, he had on down the left field line.
• 2:04:29
  Now White is coming out to run for Jerry Groot.
• 2:04:40
  Now White is running for Jerry Groot.
• 2:04:43
  What Halston is about.
• 2:04:53
  Halston is not usually a long ball threat.
• 2:04:57
  They want to be in position to try and throw White out of the plate on a base.
• 2:05:01
  Now Prussell's face is open, let's see how Halston is going to play.
• 2:05:05
  It looks like they will pitch to Halston.
• 2:05:08
  Well, Halston is in position.
• 2:05:16
  Poor Halston, no throw is made.
• 2:05:20
  Now White is running for Jerry Groot.
• 2:05:23
  Groot, he hit a hard round here, right over the bank,
• 2:05:25
  it's good, and on down the line for a double.
• 2:05:28
  Here's the push, and he punched the ball out of the plate.
• 2:05:32
  Right front by Halston, and throw the first is in time.
• 2:05:35
  The winning round is 20 feet away.
• 2:05:39
  And he first ball out is being called back.
• 2:05:48
  Well, Halston is not usually doing White's deserve.
• 2:05:52
  Mark Shanks is a round winner.
• 2:05:55
  Well, he's a good player.
• 2:06:04
  Mark Shanks is the first winner, and now let's see how he will play.
• 2:06:08
  Will he walk the next two and load the bases to get the winged grass?
• 2:06:12
  Will he bring his winged field in, and take his chance at the finish?
• 2:06:16
  Well, the only way to look towards the dugout is to see how the manager,
• 2:06:23
  Garrosha, wants to play there.
• 2:06:28
  But this one here is Arnst Geneski,
• 2:06:31
  and Dave Marshall has come out on Dutch to bat the Rod Gaster.
• 2:06:39
  The winning round is on Thursdays with one man up.
• 2:06:42
  A long outfield fly will do it.
• 2:06:44
  And so the outfield has been set up shallow.
• 2:06:47
  Close enough to have a chance to throw,
• 2:06:50
  White's out of the play. Here's the stretch.
• 2:06:53
  And the pitch.
• 2:06:54
  And a ground ball back to the mound.
• 2:06:56
  The runner will have to hold.
• 2:06:58
  Throw the first two down. Now they need a base hit.
• 2:07:02
  Well, Geneski retired on one pitch, and it's up to Dave Marshall.
• 2:07:06
  Dave Marshall will bat for Rod Gaster.
• 2:07:12
  Dave at 2.53 with six on runs.
• 2:07:14
  If they're not thinking home out of this point,
• 2:07:17
  just a nice little single would be fine, thank you.
• 2:07:19
  Now White's on third to middle way.
• 2:07:21
  He's got to strap the infield back now.
• 2:07:24
  And the other one is on the right.
• 2:07:26
  And the other one is on the left.
• 2:07:28
  And the other one is on the right.
• 2:07:30
  And the other one is on the right.
• 2:07:32
  And the other one is on the right.
• 2:07:34
  And the other one is on the right.
• 2:07:43
  Quite well, Allen, since you can release.
• 2:07:45
  Roddy let off of the double.
• 2:07:47
  And Hells and Bunny-Bowler, but Art Geneski's boss
• 2:07:50
  went right back to the pitch.
• 2:07:55
  Now the stretch by well, Allen.
• 2:07:57
  And the pitch.
• 2:07:59
  Another ball outside, one ball and no stretch.
• 2:08:04
  Ron Herbal has been warming up in the bullpen.
• 2:08:07
  He'll be coming in if we go to the 11-20.
• 2:08:14
  Now Old Sarge, next to run at a third,
• 2:08:17
  here's the pitcher on the way.
• 2:08:19
  Now no play, run ball and stretch.
• 2:08:33
  That's not done well in the extra inning ball games this year.
• 2:08:36
  They won 8-11.
• 2:08:41
  It's 1-1 on the post-battery Dave Marshall.
• 2:08:44
  There's a full hitter, they play him deep
• 2:08:47
  and they swing around the right court.
• 2:08:49
  That's third, top of it, just playing even with the bag,
• 2:08:52
  but wide of the line.
• 2:08:55
  Second base from Beckett,
• 2:08:57
  back to the remedy, off the other one.
• 2:08:59
  1-1 delivery.
• 2:09:01
  Way in the same.
• 2:09:02
  It's 2-1.
• 2:09:07
  Any time you have a knuckleball pitcher on the ball,
• 2:09:09
  in this half of the situation,
• 2:09:11
  there's always the possibility of a pass ball or a wild pitch.
• 2:09:20
  So why is the runner on third will be alert to see
• 2:09:23
  that he won delivery in the first ball three.
• 2:09:29
  It's 3-1 on Dave Marshall.
• 2:09:35
  Wayne Garrett is beyond duck better.
• 2:09:37
  That Marshall digs in.
• 2:09:40
  You don't have to worry about getting rid of the low-hound,
• 2:09:42
  that you can be hit, he's not going to wobble your eyes.
• 2:09:45
  3-1 delivery.
• 2:09:47
  Now, the final call for,
• 2:09:49
  is up to Wayne Garrett.
• 2:09:54
  So Marshall reaches on a walk,
• 2:09:56
  putting runners on first and third.
• 2:10:01
  3-2-1.
• 2:10:03
  3-2-1.
• 2:10:04
  3-2-1.
• 2:10:08
  A quick pause for station identification.
• 2:10:10
  This is New York West Baseball Network.
• 2:10:12
  This is WI-VR FM 104.9,
• 2:10:15
  U.S. and Dile, down south.
• 2:10:19
  This is WKAJ FM 102.3,
• 2:10:22
  and you're Dile serving you from Saratoga Springs, New York.
• 2:10:25
  We now sit on Ralph Cantor,
• 2:10:27
  last of the 10th inning, the game has 3-3.
• 2:10:30
  Runners on first and third,
• 2:10:32
  why is the winning runners on third,
• 2:10:34
  two down, and Garrett is the batter.
• 2:10:36
  Now the first.
• 2:10:38
  Nugget ball high, one ball and no strike.
• 2:10:43
  Nugget from the lead of a baseball.
• 2:10:45
  First baseman, Phil Peppertone,
• 2:10:47
  called for, and he wants to say something real.
• 2:10:56
  Now, why is getting as much lead as he can,
• 2:10:58
  in case one of those knuckle balls gets loose?
• 2:11:02
  Now the stretch.
• 2:11:04
  On the pitch on the way,
• 2:11:06
  we are trying to ball through.
• 2:11:09
  Leon Jones is beyond that side.
• 2:11:19
  Well, Elm rarely hurts himself by lack of control.
• 2:11:23
  Even though he throws good butterscotch,
• 2:11:25
  I bet he usually gets it over.
• 2:11:28
  Down is Fulow, there's the pitch on the way.
• 2:11:31
  In for a strike and Garrett will take it.
• 2:11:34
  Now it's Fulow's and one strike.
• 2:11:41
  Now, the winning run is on third, two down.
• 2:11:48
  Now, Wilham's into the fifth,
• 2:11:50
  there's some news to pitch.
• 2:11:52
  Now, the high drive hit the right field,
• 2:11:55
  way back, way back, way back,
• 2:11:57
  scoring, hard run.
• 2:11:59
  A three-round homer by Wayne Garrett.
• 2:12:07
  He's drive hard run of the year.
• 2:12:14
  Next, he's back to the side,
• 2:12:16
  with Southern Blaze and the deep Chicago 6-3.
• 2:12:19
  Wayne Garrett, hitting a 2-1 knuckleball,
• 2:12:23
  over the auxiliary scoreboard,
• 2:12:25
  up in the ballon, facing the right field.
• 2:12:28
  And the crowd really enjoying it.
• 2:12:30
  This is the thriller for them.
• 2:12:32
  When Gordon Homer was two outs in the ninth inning,
• 2:12:36
  the 5-0 game, and Wayne Garrett
• 2:12:39
  has just hit a three-run homer,
• 2:12:41
  in the bottom half of the judge,
• 2:12:43
  winning the winner.
• 2:12:44
  Final score, but the yard left six,
• 2:12:46
  down to Chicago 7-3.
