  On Saturday, October 7, 1950, the Philadelphia Phillies faced the New York Yankees at Yankee
• 0:13
  Stadium in Game 4 of the 1950 World Series. The Yankees led the series 3-0 after winning
• 0:19
  three consecutive nail-biting, one-run games. Game 3 featured a dramatic finish with an
• 0:24
  unearned run in the bottom of the 8th inning, tying the game. This was followed by an RBI
• 0:29
  single by Jerry Coleman in the bottom of the 9th, giving the Yankees a commanding series
• 0:34
  lead. For Game 4, the Phillies sent Bob Miller to the mound to face the Yankees' rookie pitcher,
• 0:39
  Whitey Ford. The audio recording is from the radio broadcast featuring announcers Mel
• 0:44
  Allen and Gene Kelly.
• 0:46
  Well after his near fatal plane accident, coming back from football game last Saturday,
• 0:53
  Bill DeCosta supervising field engineer for Mutual and Lou Jurgensen at the controls
• 0:57
  of the engineering department. And down in Philadelphia, on the controls at that end
• 1:02
  were Frank Pant, Del Dengate and Allen Smith. Our sincere appreciation to all those people
• 1:09
  for making it so easy for Al Helper, yours truly, Mel Allen, and the man who's forced
• 1:14
  you over the first four and a half innings today to do such an easy job. I'm talking
• 1:19
  about a fellow who's celebrated his 32nd birthday yesterday and he was just a little superstitious
• 1:25
  because the game wound up 3 and 2. But Gene, any time being 2, make 32. That's something
• 1:32
  I have to learn, always talk to you in May 5. Gene Kelly.
• 1:37
  Thank you Mel, and of course you'll note that the Phillies are wearing number 19. Towards
• 1:43
  one game happens, and a 9 innings, regulation distance game. It is interesting as well to
• 1:48
  point out that no one team has scored more than one run in any one inning, compositely
• 1:54
  speaking, of the games played. And we had one 10 innings at play. The first inning has
• 1:59
  been scoreless, and that is all. The Phillies have been held scoreless in the first four
• 2:04
  innings of the first three games, and the Yankees have posted singles in the second,
• 2:08
  third, and fourth while the Phillies have had a tendency to score late. But the Yankees
• 2:13
  a little bit later to the tune of enjoy yourself Phillies, it's later than you think, while
• 2:18
  their late rallies in the last two games have won out for them. DiMaggio's home run in the
• 2:23
  second game with Shy Park in Philadelphia, and of course yesterday in the ninth inning.
• 2:28
  Jerry Coleman, now the hitting star. One of the two Massachusetts citizens involved in
• 2:37
  this World Series classic, Eddie Wachis, is about to step in to face the left-hand O'Fighty
• 2:43
  4. The field scouts, George Earnshaw and Jack Sandford. Earnshaw of course, the former
• 2:49
  athletic grade and Sandford Toronto manager, have had nothing but high regard for this
• 2:53
  chunky Southlaw who faced the field first in spring training. He had hurt his arm then.
• 2:57
  He's set for the first pitch. Here it comes, and it's low outside ball one. Wachis had
• 3:02
  lunged to his own right that time as if to pump a bunch down the third baseline or drag.
• 3:08
  In the series, Eddie is hitting 250. Three hits in 12 trips. One a double. The pitch,
• 3:15
  outside and low, ball two. Both Ford and his opponent Miller are very confident youngsters.
• 3:22
  I believe you heard Mel say the other day that Ford asked his dean, is that the kind
• 3:27
  of play they have in the National League. Two and no pitch. Strike one is all. Two and
• 3:40
  one. First man up. Out of the first. Left-hand of Ford in motion. The livers, Wigg just cuts
• 3:47
  sand, gets the end of the wood on the ball for a foul just to the right of his own dugout
• 3:53
  to even it up at two and two. The fields have brought along three bad boys. Ken Bush, Cranky
• 4:02
  Campanero and Steve Arlasco. Three youngsters who didn't have much of a break too early
• 4:07
  in life and have been brought along by the Phillips Club. So the bad boys and ball
• 4:10
  boys in their home park have done a grand job. Two and two. A curve that is too close
• 4:16
  for ball three. It was a real, real hook that time. What's thrown too close to the body
• 4:22
  of Wachis. He stands up there with his right foot poised for the first baseline. Left foot
• 4:27
  deep on the line as the left-handed batter chokes up about three inches. The string runs
• 4:31
  out on the first batter. Twenty-four in the big pitch delivers. Five of all four and
• 4:36
  Wigg just is on the lead off wall. I think the tenor of the crowd fans will bear out
• 4:43
  this afternoon that the fields are tremendous sentimental favorites. If not, a predominant
• 4:49
  actual and logical favorites. Boy, they are now free down and no club has ever come from
• 4:56
  behind to this extent to win out on a World Series. The closest, of course, the Giants
• 5:01
  two down in 1921 and earlier before the Roaring 20s the Pittsburgh parts who were down three
• 5:07
  one. A man on first that he wickets with a walk about is Richie Ashburn batting left
• 5:11
  handed. He swings and there's a flipper to short left field but Woodling plays him shallow
• 5:16
  comes in and makes it to play. Fortunately that time the defense was alert to the fact
• 5:21
  that Ashburn is a straightaway hitter who sprays hits and he was very, very shallow in left
• 5:26
  field and makes a put out. One down put out goes to the left field. Ashburn swinging on
• 5:33
  the first pitch and about an hour is Woodling putting headjumps. In the three previous games
• 5:40
  the third baseman of the field is two for ten. Hitting at even two hundred batting right
• 5:44
  handed. Wigg is leading off first. Young Ford in the stretch delivers. Low wall one. A curve
• 5:51
  that was aimed right towards the middle of the strike zone but broke below the knee. One
• 5:57
  and oh. In field and double play depth. Is it all leading the march on the end of the
• 6:03
  fence. Ford ready throws. Right one ball. Now his hook was very similar to the one that
• 6:10
  he had tossed at John's in his initial pitch but this one was aimed just above the knee.
• 6:17
  One ball. One strike. One down. One on. Top of the first. No score. The Phillies batting.
• 6:21
  In the fourth game of the world series against the world champion. New York Yankees. The
• 6:25
  left handed pitchers. Jones swings. As the ball hits toward the right field corner. It
• 6:29
  is in there. And bounces into the stands for ground rule double. Wigg is held at third
• 6:34
  and Jones is a second. That ball was some thirty feet just inside the right field pole
• 6:42
  line which is two hundred ninety six feet from home plate. And the ground rule here at
• 6:47
  the stadium where the fences are very low especially in dead right and dead left is that
• 6:51
  if it bounces in it's automatically a ground rule double. You don't take any extra bases
• 6:56
  if you are the runner at the time. At the hitter gets his double so that Wigg is now
• 7:00
  at third and Jones is on at second. Jones is first extra base of the series. And a sixth
• 7:09
  field double. The batter is Dale Henneth who picked up his first world series against
• 7:15
  yesterday. The full wind up on the left hand of four. High and wide on the curve. Balls
• 7:19
  in the right handed batter. Ball one. On third Wigg. On second. Well he Jones. Base
• 7:31
  on balls has proven extremely detrimental. The pitchers on both sides in the series.
• 7:37
  One ball no strikes. The pitch to Winnett. Wide and high. Ball two. He is pitching extremely
• 7:42
  carefully to Winnett. Or Dale is the long ball hitter on this ball club. Lefty Joe Astofsky.
• 7:50
  The technical professor of the Yankee relief score acquired from the St. Louis Browns in
• 7:57
  mid year has begun warming up for the Yankees in their alley in right field. Two and nothing
• 8:03
  but pitch. He throws. Wide. Ball three. This is the earliest real threat that the field
• 8:11
  has staged. On the first day they were sit down on order. On the second day Ashburn had
• 8:24
  a double with one away. Strike one ball. Three and one. That was right down the middle. On
• 8:33
  the second and third top of the first inning. The police determined not to be blanked in
• 8:38
  the series. Often running against the star rookie of the Yankee Mount Corps. 24. The
• 8:46
  infield is off the dock. The outfield is pushed for the left and fairly deep. Three one pitch.
• 8:51
  Two swings. A high chopping ground wall. Plays for the plate. He is out. Third to catch it.
• 9:01
  Ground to be ra. A chopping ground wall that was just inside the line a third base. And
• 9:07
  Doc Bob Brown. Had tremendous series. For the past two years. Immediately got rid of
• 9:14
  it. A perfect. Take a good body block of the plate by Vera. Retired on, there was no chance
• 9:19
  There's no chance for the double player to start with first base open and runners on at second and third.
• 9:25
  That's the second out.
• 9:26
  And again, a filled chance at the plate is rubbed out with a compactly filled barrel making sure they didn't have the runner.
• 9:34
  The runner at third, wakers his way off with a crack on the bat, but he was a dead pigeon.
• 9:39
  Goal scored, third to catch him on the field of choice, and it's at first.
• 9:42
  Jones at second, the batter picks this way.
• 9:44
  Left handed swinger.
• 9:46
  Strike one, four.
• 9:48
  Crossfire pass ball making the outside corner just above an ease.
• 9:52
  Two gone.
• 9:56
  Jones at second.
• 9:58
  And it's at first.
• 10:01
  Alert Yankee Fielding. They have not committed an error as yet in the series.
• 10:07
  Pitching a swing off the umpire's mat, and it ripped the mat loose.
• 10:13
  The portion of the strap, which commences at the forward, goes to the mate of an X.
• 10:20
  Tears itself loose for umpire Charlie Berry.
• 10:23
  And it's time for the competitive.
• 10:26
  And a former catcher in the American League as well as a great football player in college.
• 10:30
  And again, we say Phillipsburg, New Jersey is proud of this participant in the World Series.
• 10:36
  I note now that the story has a brand new mat, and it didn't take any time at all for the Yankee bat boy to replace it for him.
• 10:42
  The count is nothing in two on Dick Sissler.
• 10:45
  One hit in 13 trips in the World Series.
• 10:48
  He singles home run yesterday.
• 10:50
  Board in the stretch.
• 10:51
  Kick delivers.
• 10:52
  Too close on the curve ball, backing him away.
• 10:54
  Ball one.
• 10:56
  One ball, two strikes.
• 10:58
  Jones at second, and it's at first.
• 11:00
  Game began when Wacoos drew a pass, Ashburn with a hit on on,
• 11:05
  and he's tied to short left, and Jones doubles, ground rule style, ball bouncing into the right field stand.
• 11:13
  One or two.
• 11:15
  Six three, ball out.
• 11:17
  A punch ball, and it's on the outside corner.
• 11:20
  And Sissler again goes down on strike for Dick's fifth strikeout in the World Series.
• 11:26
  He has the dubious to sink in the leading the pack in that department.
• 11:29
  No runs, one hit, a double by Jones, a walk thrown in, no Yankee errors, two fills left.
• 11:35
  At the end of the first half of the first, nothing to nothing, but Billy's at New York.
• 11:40
  Men who use a Gillette super speed raiser, shade quicker and far more enjoyably than ever.
• 11:45
  For a mighty good reason.
• 11:47
  The Gillette super speed raiser changes blades instantly, cleans instantly, and never jams or clogs.
• 11:55
  There's nothing to take apart or put together.
• 11:57
  Twist, the razor opens, zip, it's loaded, twist again, and you're ready to shave.
• 12:03
  You save time, save costs, and get the slickest shaves of your life.
• 12:07
  Also, Gillette's double edges save you money.
• 12:10
  Men for the best looking, most refreshing shaves you ever enjoyed, plus convenience and economy that can't be matched,
• 12:17
  get the Gillette super speed raiser.
• 12:19
  It comes in a handsome serviceable styrene case, and includes a handy dispenser, loaded with ten factory sharp Gillette blue blades.
• 12:26
  And listen to this, you get the complete set, an actual $1.75 annual, for only a dollar.
• 12:33
  Ask for yours at your favorite store.
• 12:38
  Ready to go on the Yankee half of the first inning.
• 12:41
  Bob Miller.
• 12:45
  Miller has had a peculiar ailment.
• 12:48
  He had Scarlett's fever as a youngster, and his perforation glands never worked correctly in his hands.
• 12:55
  He has to wet his hands under the water cooler before each game to make sure that the combination of water and rosin,
• 13:01
  give him the proper glue to hold onto that ball.
• 13:04
  One of the oddities of baseball, he leans forward in the old Disney style.
• 13:07
  He's a rangey, right-handed, faces Gene Woodling, delivers, and it strikes one ball, a fast ball.
• 13:14
  The girls had a great threat rolling in the first, but Ford forced Ennis to bounce the third and Brown put them out of the plate.
• 13:23
  They're a guarding.
• 13:26
  The ball once strikes out of Woodling, Gene hitting a 400 on the series.
• 13:31
  Low and away, ball one.
• 13:34
  Miller has a finger pitch, which dips down and slightly away from a left-handed batter.
• 13:39
  It can be compared favorably to a screwball, though this ball is thrown more naturally.
• 13:44
  It is at the end of a finger dip.
• 13:46
  It's the old-fashioned enduke that your youngsters used to have on the sand lines.
• 13:50
  One-on-one, swinging a ground ball right behind them out, over for Goliath.
• 13:54
  Woodling puts it and the runner is safe, but it may go as an infield hit.
• 14:04
  Waiting.
• 14:06
  They're chalking him with a bubble.
• 14:09
  Goliath is charged with an error.
• 14:11
  He came in behind them out and played the ball directly in front of the bag at second,
• 14:16
  but he lost the handle and Woodling is on with a life.
• 14:19
  It was a slow hit, while chopped behind them out.
• 14:22
  Manera on Goliath, the second baseman, the field.
• 14:26
  A great batter is the batter.
• 14:29
  The right-handed hitting shortstop takes a low curve of all while.
• 14:33
  Bill hitting a 200 in the first three games of the Wales series.
• 14:37
  He has two for ten and a run scored with two walks thrown in.
• 14:42
  One-on-one, him flashed on a Woodling at first base.
• 14:45
  Bill takes high inside, or two.
• 14:51
  Invariably, Miller has gotten off to rocky start this season.
• 14:55
  He has had a few exceptions in games recently pitched, and of course, as Mel told you,
• 15:00
  at the start of our broadcast, he came up with a sore right shoulder recently.
• 15:05
  A little bit of an overworked.
• 15:07
  He's been used in relief and shotting roles.
• 15:10
  He's now asking for a new ball and gets one from the plate on fire, Charlie Berry.
• 15:15
  Two-and-a-things are resudo.
• 15:17
  Nobody out for the Yankees last of the first,
• 15:20
  and the era on Goliath places Woodling at first.
• 15:26
  The stretch by Menon, he throws.
• 15:28
  Too close and low, ball three.
• 15:31
  Goliath's era was his first of the series and a fourth by the field.
• 15:39
  In the bullpen, we're about to get some activity.
• 15:42
  By the way, Robert has joined his bullpenmates,
• 15:45
  Gunstady, Meyer, and left-hander, Chaco Thompson.
• 15:50
  Today, so you can see that Zoya is not bearing the forces at all.
• 15:57
  Three-and-a-things out, the scooter is at all.
• 15:59
  A pitch, strike one ball, pass ball.
• 16:03
  Zoya has a big motion.
• 16:05
  He's a six-three and Benzomas way down to his knees with one foot forward,
• 16:10
  steering down for the side from his catcher anti-semitic.
• 16:14
  Third baseman, Jones, still shallow.
• 16:16
  Waco's guarding at first, Woodling leading off.
• 16:19
  Slow-toe over there, the guard gene, and he's back safely.
• 16:23
  So let's watch him closely.
• 16:26
  You've got a real runner out there at the plate as well.
• 16:29
  The stretcher on the three-one, for delivery.
• 16:31
  Swinging a foul, which cuts right back to a guard rail.
• 16:37
  The Yankee screen behind the plate is perhaps the smallest in height in the major league.
• 16:45
  The cord, which creates the screen for the balls back on, is very shallow
• 16:52
  and right before a microphone.
• 16:54
  And Staddy warming up for the filly.
• 16:57
  Zoya apparently is prepared to go early with his great, not only relief right hander,
• 17:04
  but the front of the prove that he could start and do well,
• 17:06
  though he lost to Rashi on the opening day, one-to-nothing.
• 17:09
  Full count to Phil Ruzudo.
• 17:11
  The runner breaks, Phil swings the ground wall, deep to the third,
• 17:14
  only one play, first base, so high but in time.
• 17:18
  And that ball almost got away from Eddie Waco.
• 17:21
  Jones cut it loose, side arm, and it blew up.
• 17:24
  But Waco's dancing master kept his foot on a bag for the put-on.
• 17:28
  The runner was off with a pitch, and Woodling lost the second base.
• 17:32
  He represents the scores of Potential, Honor, and Rock.
• 17:34
  That play went third to first, one down.
• 17:38
  Now Yogi Berra.
• 17:40
  Yogi's had difficulty hitting in the series, but his defensive work and handling of the pitchers has been great.
• 17:44
  Top notch.
• 17:46
  He has one hit in 11-trips in the three games, batting the padded.
• 17:50
  Swing a shot, single-clog right field.
• 17:53
  Here is Woodling rounding third, heading for the plate.
• 17:55
  The goal comes in from Ennis.
• 17:57
  It is not in time. He's safe.
• 18:00
  Yanki's lead, one-to-nothing.
• 18:03
  And now this series has witnessed runs scored in every inning by one team or the other.
• 18:11
  Berra held it first.
• 18:13
  Waco's safe.
• 18:15
  He's now cut off to the right of the plate as Ennis's throw came in well.
• 18:20
  But Woodling was off with a crack in the bat, and fast on the lead.
• 18:24
  He has split in safely well ahead of the throw.
• 18:26
  So Berra gets an RBI.
• 18:33
  His first silver series.
• 18:35
  A sharp single, which skidded on the turf just once and rolled sharply to right.
• 18:41
  Now for the time being, that run is unearned, but it must await the remainder of the inning.
• 18:51
  That's the second run that Woodling has scored in this series.
• 18:54
  There haven't been very many fellows going more than one.
• 18:56
  Here's the module, which plays tremendously a field.
• 19:00
  And of course his home run won the second game.
• 19:02
  The most curve is low and outside.
• 19:05
  So the Yankee clip, or football won.
• 19:07
  In this series, Joe is hitting an even 200.
• 19:13
  Two for ten.
• 19:14
  A Texas league single and a big home run the other day.
• 19:18
  One goal, no strikes.
• 19:19
  Quick throw to first.
• 19:20
  Berra is back.
• 19:22
  Yogi is not what might be called a speed merchant on the pass.
• 19:26
  But once he gets a start, he can really go down.
• 19:29
  One on nothing.
• 19:30
  Way wide.
• 19:31
  A wild fish getting away from Sendig.
• 19:32
  Moving to second base.
• 19:33
  Berra rounding second, heading to third.
• 19:35
  The big pass of all.
• 19:37
  No play.
• 19:38
  He's in there with a two base, wild fish.
• 19:43
  He was about to go into his slide.
• 19:48
  And when he saw that Sendig had no chance for what would have
• 19:53
  mattered to a tremendous throw, he was way back to the base of the
• 19:56
  screen behind the plate.
• 19:57
  He kept standing up on his own two feet.
• 20:01
  The counter course was two and all.
• 20:03
  The pitch was way wider than the plate in the dirt.
• 20:06
  And the Aggies are now set up well for their second run.
• 20:11
  A two base, wild fish.
• 20:16
  That is the first wild fish on the World Series.
• 20:24
  So now that Miller is in real hot water early in the game.
• 20:30
  The first two days of the situation that had to have been
• 20:33
  faced before.
• 20:34
  Two runs and one inning.
• 20:35
  Pitching to Marjole.
• 20:36
  Low ball free.
• 20:37
  Junction is having trouble.
• 20:40
  And of course the spark was ignited by the error committed by
• 20:46
  Goliath.
• 20:47
  The right side of the infielders shadow on to Marjole.
• 20:49
  The left side sees Berra take pretty good lead off third base.
• 20:53
  One away.
• 20:54
  One run in.
• 20:55
  And Miller calls time at the moment.
• 20:58
  And Joe steps up.
• 21:03
  Now the big wind up by the big right hander.
• 21:05
  He throws.
• 21:06
  Right one calls.
• 21:08
  Now he bent that one on a three and nothing pitch which shows
• 21:11
  that he has pretty good confidence that his turbo will get in there
• 21:14
  when he wants it to get in there.
• 21:16
  Particularly on three and nothing.
• 21:17
  So it is three and one.
• 21:21
  Winding.
• 21:22
  He pitches.
• 21:23
  A swing.
• 21:24
  And a line drive.
• 21:25
  The right field.
• 21:26
  In there for base hit.
• 21:27
  Here comes Berra.
• 21:28
  He scores.
• 21:29
  The Marjole round first goes to second.
• 21:30
  Here comes the throw.
• 21:31
  One and five.
• 21:32
  A double.
• 21:33
  Yankees lead two and nothing.
• 21:34
  And for the first time in the Wales series a team leads by more than one
• 21:46
  rock.
• 21:47
  Soya moves down to the dugout.
• 21:48
  And it appears it is all seeing now that he has had a runner at second base.
• 21:56
  Another at third after a single and a two base wild pitch and a double by the Marjole.
• 22:03
  He is going to waste no time in calling a pitcher in from the field bullpen.
• 22:16
  Making a leap over the short fence and left field is Jim Concetti.
• 22:21
  He will be making his third appearance in four days.
• 22:28
  On a public address system right now the announcer is telling the folks to take their
• 22:33
  coats off the railings.
• 22:34
  Particularly in dead ride and dead left field.
• 22:38
  The area incidentally where Willie Jones poked his double and then it went into the stand.
• 22:43
  And as well possibly sets up hitters who are facing that direction with a bad background.
• 22:51
  So here comes Professor Jim and the rookie right hander.
• 22:55
  He is off to one of his many rocky stars that is taking nothing away from the beetle-browed
• 23:02
  Miller.
• 23:03
  He might have been out of the city.
• 23:07
  Now Mel, I should imagine that with the Marjole's dettles, both runs may go as short as earned.
• 23:12
  Since Rosito's ground ball would have represented out number two and Barrett Singles moved to
• 23:19
  third on the wild pitch and the Marjole doubled.
• 23:23
  However we'll wait on that.
• 23:26
  In other words the inning isn't over yet.
• 23:29
  There is only one out and that's off of Bob Miller.
• 23:31
  He faced four runs and for the time being the first one is on earth.
• 23:36
  Woodling having reached first base on Goliath's era.
• 23:40
  So Jim and Staddy, the big professor, come to the know again in a virtual start.
• 23:46
  There is only one Yankee out of there and he'll be facing Johnny Myers with whom he's had
• 23:51
  no difficulty at all in the World Series.
• 23:54
  As a matter of fact, many onlookers find it tough to believe that can Staddy is equally
• 24:00
  effective against left handed swingers as he is against right handeders.
• 24:03
  But yesterday you'll remember that when handsome and walk free men enter all, when the Yankees
• 24:09
  brought home a tying run on Hamner's era, he was facing Bobby Brown who was set up as
• 24:14
  a pinch hitter for Hank Bauer.
• 24:16
  And it was Bauer who had doubled against Staddy on the opening day to set up the one run
• 24:21
  scored by either team.
• 24:23
  Myers is of course one of the greatest free swingers as the game has known in the last
• 24:29
  10 or 12 years.
• 24:31
  And he put in a bit for a home run yesterday hitting to the 344th footpark in right, but
• 24:38
  he dragged it down before it went into the stand.
• 24:41
  Now the situation is the module at second with a right field double, two runs in for the Yankee,
• 24:46
  one man out, and the batter John Myers batting left handed.
• 24:51
  And Staddy's outside screwball is ball one, throwing to the left handed batter.
• 24:57
  And Staddy now has pitched eight and one third innings in the World Series, allowing four hits
• 25:02
  and one iron run.
• 25:04
  He has walked four.
• 25:06
  Low inside to the stamping left handed header.
• 25:10
  Ball two.
• 25:12
  Johnny has put one hit in the World Series.
• 25:18
  Average actually 0-8-3.
• 25:20
  One for 12.
• 25:22
  Two balls, no strikes.
• 25:25
  And Staddy's low strategy checks the module, comes to the plate, strike one call.
• 25:30
  The curve ball.
• 25:32
  Jim very rarely calls his pitch a curve, it's the Staddy version of the slider.
• 25:38
  Two and one.
• 25:41
  The pitch, the swing, a shot foul for the lower deck in right.
• 25:46
  Now that's about as well as Myers is tagged of all in this series.
• 25:50
  His pitch for the home run yesterday was a very high fly with a lot of uppercut on it.
• 25:56
  This one was thrown around the chest or tore the eyes of the batter's hotel.
• 26:02
  And he wasted no time in bringing that batter out.
• 26:05
  It evens the counter two and two on Johnny Myers.
• 26:07
  On deck is Doc Bob Brown, one of the series heroes thus far.
• 26:11
  The pitch, a fly ball, hits the feet, go right and way upstairs.
• 26:18
  Now Lise tested the downstairs area.
• 26:21
  This time he hit under the ball upstairs and that ball was hit far and away but fouled by some 35s of 40 feet.
• 26:37
  Two and two, two ball in play.
• 26:39
  He pitches the swing, a ground ball to Goliath.
• 26:42
  Up with it, over to first in time.
• 26:46
  Goliath made sure he dripped that ball, he put his left knee behind it and then took his time to throw Lise out.
• 26:53
  Tamaggio moving to third on the play.
• 26:55
  That's for second out.
• 26:59
  Now the run must go as on earth.
• 27:02
  For Myers's ground ball, what have represented out number three?
• 27:05
  So no matter what happens now, anything that scores is on earth.
• 27:09
  Beyond the one run.
• 27:11
  Sooner or nothing, here is Bob Brown.
• 27:13
  The screw ball pitched away to the left handed swinging third baseman, ball one.
• 27:18
  Gillette's cavalcated sport, a Yankee two to nothing lead in the first inning.
• 27:22
  The field had a threat going and they wasted no time to the Yankees in derriking Bob Miller.
• 27:27
  The full wind up by Gonstaddy.
• 27:29
  Swings on the pitch, a ground is through the box, up with it, Goliath.
• 27:32
  Go to first in time, side retired.
• 27:34
  Second to first to play, Yankee first inning, two runs, one runs.
• 27:40
  Two hits, a single by Vera, a double by DiMaggio, an era by Goliath,
• 27:46
  and one man, Jota Margio, left on.
• 27:49
  First inning score from Yankee Stadium in New York.
• 27:52
  The Yankee two, the Phillies, nothing.
• 27:56
  We pause ten seconds for station identification.
• 27:59
  This is the mutual broadcasting system.
• 28:15
  Back at the stadium in New York, Rani Hanna, who was in Real Tears,
• 28:21
  as he plumped in front of his locker in the visitor's dressing room at the yesterday's ball game.
• 28:27
  But with it all, when Hanna had committed his era on Brown's Brown ball,
• 28:31
  with the bases loaded, in that eighth inning,
• 28:34
  the Pepperpot field shortstop, 23 years of age from Richmond, Virginia,
• 28:38
  doubled to deep left Centipede.
• 28:41
  It was only a great play for the second straight day by DiMaggio
• 28:46
  that prevented Hanna from going further,
• 28:48
  and possibly saving the ball game for the field's worth set down
• 28:51
  despite the leadoff double without a run in the ninth inning.
• 28:56
  So though his era stands out in the relief,
• 28:59
  Hanna brings a tremendous batting average into this ball game.
• 29:02
  He is hitting at 500 evens, five hits and ten trips, including a pair of doubles and a triple.
• 29:08
  He's batting right handed against fours, the left-hander throws.
• 29:11
  Hanna takes close at the toes, ball one, medium curve ball.
• 29:18
  One ball, no strikes. Nobody on, nobody out.
• 29:21
  Top of the second, Yankee two, the Phillies, nothing.
• 29:24
  So now, teams have scored in every inning in the series.
• 29:27
  The pitch, the swing, a ground ball, zipped to Razuto.
• 29:29
  He moves to his right, top of it, go to first in time.
• 29:33
  Nice play by the Scooter.
• 29:37
  Razuto, because he has second.
• 29:40
  Must teach himself a jump on the ball.
• 29:43
  Must be a second.
• 29:45
  Must teach himself a jump on the ball.
• 29:48
  And as soon as that ball leaves the bat,
• 29:51
  he has a sixth sense as to where it's going to depart.
• 29:56
  Play went short to first, one down.
• 29:58
  Now Andy Seminick, the catcher, two for seven.
• 30:04
  Two eighty-sixth batting average on the series, batting right handed.
• 30:07
  Strike one ball, left-hander came down with a tight-fisted pitch.
• 30:14
  One down, nobody on, nothing in one count.
• 30:17
  Top of the second, 24, delivers.
• 30:20
  Seminick, half-wing for take, slow inside, ball one.
• 30:25
  The two-base wild pitch was one of the key plays in the first inning.
• 30:31
  For New York, but of course that's chargeable to the pitcher.
• 30:36
  The era, set everything up.
• 30:42
  One ball, one strike.
• 30:46
  And the wind-up, four pitches.
• 30:49
  And the bat takes close, right at his felt line, inside, ball two.
• 30:58
  Two and one.
• 31:01
  Four, studies well.
• 31:04
  Into the big motion, delivers.
• 31:06
  Seminick swings, sends a high, quick-sting foul,
• 31:08
  is throwing it out of play,
• 31:09
  for the upper deck along the first-base line,
• 31:11
  just misses and falls down.
• 31:12
  It's deceptive here as to where the foul ball is going to land.
• 31:17
  The third deck, juts out as we told you yesterday.
• 31:20
  And the second deck is Wolf-Bagged.
• 31:22
  And it appears as though the upstairs patrons
• 31:24
  are glad to get themselves a chance
• 31:25
  for a fourth-game World Series souvenir.
• 31:28
  And then frustration.
• 31:29
  Downstairs she goes.
• 31:31
  Two and two.
• 31:36
  Four now, apparently settling down after a bat start.
• 31:39
  First inning though he held, the visitor scoreless.
• 31:42
  Yankee leading, two to nothing.
• 31:45
  He does.
• 31:47
  Outside for ball three.
• 31:49
  A curve that missed the mark.
• 31:52
  A low for the ease and too far outside.
• 31:55
  Full count.
• 32:00
  That is the rookie second full count.
• 32:02
  He walked wink as to the first inning.
• 32:03
  You recall?
• 32:04
  The string runs out.
• 32:06
  He's in the motion, he pitches.
• 32:07
  Seminick swings.
• 32:08
  An arching foul over the roof.
• 32:10
  Caught it.
• 32:11
  Downstairs again.
• 32:14
  Still three and two.
• 32:16
  First base dive.
• 32:18
  Score to the nothing Yankee.
• 32:20
  That's the first time either team has scored
• 32:22
  more than one deli in any one frame.
• 32:25
  The Sun now coming out more brilliantly.
• 32:26
  It's a bit more mild today than it was yesterday.
• 32:29
  Perhaps the best World Series weather.
• 32:32
  The full count again.
• 32:34
  Four throws.
• 32:35
  Seminick swings.
• 32:36
  And another foul.
• 32:37
  This is what Soya refers to as the batter
• 32:40
  giving the pitcher a battle.
• 32:42
  He may not be able to land full wood on the ball,
• 32:45
  but he gets just enough to spoil the good ones.
• 32:48
  And of course it means that much more strength
• 32:50
  taken out of the pitcher's arm.
• 32:52
  He's got to work harder, concentrate harder.
• 32:54
  For Seminick has an odd stance.
• 32:55
  Wide open.
• 32:56
  Toys toward the left, but he hits the ball well to right.
• 32:58
  I noticed that the foul is playing him pretty straight away out there.
• 33:00
  Three and two.
• 33:02
  Swinging a foul.
• 33:03
  Downstairs again.
• 33:04
  This one zips down a line.
• 33:05
  Into the stance.
• 33:07
  Along the first base line.
• 33:11
  Well, they're getting plenty of activity today,
• 33:13
  especially the customers in a box seat in short-ride fields.
• 33:19
  The ball in play by Empire Berry to the pitcher of 24,
• 33:22
  21-year-old left-hander.
• 33:24
  He's in the pumping motion.
• 33:26
  He kicks, he delivers.
• 33:27
  Seminick swings and gets the lazy foul.
• 33:30
  Clubbed off the handle behind the plate.
• 33:33
  Mera tosses over to Empire Berry,
• 33:35
  who looks it over, decides it's not good for Fodos,
• 33:38
  and throws you out of play, pretending a new one to four.
• 33:42
  Scoring Yankees two for at least nothing.
• 33:44
  A slow start.
• 33:45
  We're on the top of the second inning with one fill down.
• 33:48
  And they're grounding out to Residual short.
• 33:50
  And Seminick in a foul-off marathon right now.
• 33:54
  Three and two again.
• 33:56
  Time calls.
• 34:01
  Many times a pitcher will go into what is actually a bought motion,
• 34:04
  but since there's nobody on at the time,
• 34:07
  they'll never call it naturally.
• 34:09
  Three and two.
• 34:11
  A big pitch.
• 34:13
  Swing and another foul.
• 34:17
  This one back on the screen to the right of Argyllette's microphone.
• 34:30
  Three ball to Stankhout of Addisemmick.
• 34:34
  A rather controllable all the long way.
• 34:37
  Ready for the pitch again for throws.
• 34:39
  Seminick swings a chopping round ball on two hops taken by Residual.
• 34:42
  Go to first in 20-a-time by 30 feet.
• 34:45
  Two down.
• 34:46
  Short to first.
• 34:47
  Residual the busy B in this frame.
• 34:51
  Now Goliath.
• 34:53
  There has been a lot of talk.
• 34:56
  And second guessing today as to whether Goliath should have been taken out of the game yesterday.
• 35:01
  Goliath had two chances in the tenth-nineteenth.
• 35:07
  Goliath might have been a younger pitcher.
• 35:09
  Here he is again to start today.
• 35:11
  He takes strike one to all the curve.
• 35:13
  Going by the left-hand 0-54.
• 35:15
  In a series, Goliath is 2-10.
• 35:19
  Air singles are under the end or on score.
• 35:21
  Starting 200.
• 35:22
  And the right-handed slinger.
• 35:24
  Nothing in one pitch.
• 35:25
  Swing and another pitch.
• 35:27
  Swing and another pitch.
• 35:29
  Swing and another pitch.
• 35:31
  Two.
• 35:32
  With the old-fashioned hook.
• 35:36
  A well-to-strike.
• 35:38
  Perhaps getting 21-year-old butterflies settled out now.
• 35:42
  Looks like a canny veteran on a mound.
• 35:45
  Facing Goliath.
• 35:46
  He's in the motion.
• 35:47
  Throws.
• 35:48
  Goliath swings and gets a foul.
• 35:49
  Lazyed along the third base side of the diamond.
• 35:52
  Behind Soya coaching a third.
• 35:54
  Counter-plotted first.
• 35:55
  Dusty Cook.
• 35:56
  And her slide yanking.
• 35:58
  The series replete with Yankee's redition.
• 36:01
  Soya, brought up in their stools.
• 36:03
  Cooker for the Yankee himself.
• 36:05
  Nothing in two.
• 36:06
  Ready to pitch.
• 36:07
  The swing.
• 36:08
  A long fly ball.
• 36:09
  Lifted to our left.
• 36:10
  Woodling has the roll.
• 36:11
  Cam's under.
• 36:12
  Wait and squeezes for the third out.
• 36:15
  Goliath flies to left.
• 36:16
  Three up, three down.
• 36:17
  For the Phillies in the top of the second.
• 36:19
  No runs, no hits, no errors, none left.
• 36:21
  One and a half innings.
• 36:22
  The Yankees two.
• 36:23
  The Phillies nothing.
• 36:25
  Watching the game with us here in the broadcasting booth.
• 36:27
  Is my good friend Kurt Simmons.
• 36:29
  fellow Southpaw.
• 36:30
  The Philadelphia Phillies.
• 36:32
  Who's sold to the hills on Gillette's lube lades.
• 36:34
  Kurt, tell the folks why that is.
• 36:37
  Well, thanks.
• 36:38
  It's because of the stupid shaving blades I know about.
• 36:40
  And I've tried a lot of different times.
• 36:42
  Have you used Gillette's improved dispenser, Kurt?
• 36:45
  The latest one with a used blade compartment.
• 36:47
  Yes, it's a great convenience.
• 36:49
  And saves a lot of dollars.
• 36:51
  Men, see for yourselves how much easier
• 36:53
  shaving and longer lasting Gillette lube lades really are.
• 36:56
  Ask for them in the improved Gillette's dispenser.
• 36:59
  That deals them out unwrapped.
• 37:01
  And solves the used blade problem as well.
• 37:03
  You pay nothing extra for the dispenser.
• 37:05
  Just the regular price of the blades alone.
• 37:08
  Loop sharp.
• 37:09
  Field sharp.
• 37:11
  B sharp.
• 37:12
  Used Gillette lube lades.
• 37:14
  With the sharpest edges ever home.
• 37:16
  Kurt, play the ill.
• 37:18
  I'm sorry.
• 37:19
  Kurt, we're happy to have you with us during the season.
• 37:22
  And of course, sorry to lose you to the Army.
• 37:25
  But, Markle Sam calls.
• 37:27
  Stick around for a moment, Stella.
• 37:29
  And I would like to talk things over with you.
• 37:31
  Here's Hank Bauer.
• 37:32
  And the pitchfork and Stanley as well outside.
• 37:34
  I know you may not be enjoying it because the fields are behind.
• 37:36
  But I know you're happy to be here for the 10-day leave, right?
• 37:39
  Right.
• 37:40
  I'm glad to be here, Gene.
• 37:41
  A lot of luck to you, Kurt.
• 37:42
  And all the good fortune in the world with the 28th Division.
• 37:45
  Thank you, Gene.
• 37:46
  Hank Bauer now.
• 37:47
  One of the things that Stanley pitches, Hank swings.
• 37:49
  A very high pop going to the shortstop side.
• 37:51
  Hamner jogging in under.
• 37:53
  Hatches it.
• 37:57
  Bauer pops out to the shortstop.
• 38:01
  Now Jerry Coleman.
• 38:03
  With one down.
• 38:06
  The hitting hero of the World Series thus far.
• 38:08
  Running right handed.
• 38:09
  Chowkrip and Stanley throws.
• 38:10
  Coleman takes.
• 38:11
  Spike one call.
• 38:12
  All a hand curve ball.
• 38:23
  Coleman came around as if to bluff upon that time, but checked it.
• 38:27
  Nothing in one.
• 38:28
  One down.
• 38:29
  Last of the second.
• 38:30
  Stoyankies two for these nothings.
• 38:32
  Bigton Staddy delivers.
• 38:34
  Coleman swings.
• 38:35
  A long fly ball.
• 38:36
  Hit quickly and deep to left.
• 38:37
  This one moving back, back, back, under.
• 38:39
  Grabbed it.
• 38:40
  White at the base of the screen.
• 38:42
  380 feet away from home plate.
• 38:46
  He was on the plate turf.
• 38:49
  That warns the outfielders.
• 38:51
  Here comes the fence.
• 38:55
  So Coleman is surprising everyone with his long ball hitting.
• 38:58
  Remember he fooled the left field in Mayhem.
• 39:00
  Instead of building an asperger.
• 39:01
  With a game winning single yesterday.
• 39:03
  Two down.
• 39:05
  Heady four.
• 39:06
  Left handed batter.
• 39:07
  Pitcher.
• 39:08
  Strike 112.
• 39:10
  Down breaking curve ball.
• 39:12
  In the season.
• 39:14
  The White Hair Juncture.
• 39:16
  Hit 194.
• 39:18
  7 hits and 36 trips.
• 39:20
  Nothing in one.
• 39:21
  Swing damage to strike two.
• 39:23
  He was brought up on the Long Island City Sandlot.
• 39:27
  In the borough of Queens, New York.
• 39:29
  Four.
• 39:30
  Nothing in two.
• 39:32
  A foul.
• 39:33
  Third base.
• 39:34
  Back seat.
• 39:38
  Out of play.
• 39:40
  Two down.
• 39:41
  Last of a second.
• 39:42
  Yankees get off to a two run march.
• 39:44
  In the very first inning.
• 39:46
  When it appeared.
• 39:47
  All the Phillies are going to dig in first.
• 39:49
  But Ford was an asperger with a good defense.
• 39:51
  Nothing in two pitch.
• 39:52
  Can Staddy throws.
• 39:53
  High and wide.
• 39:54
  To the chunky south bar.
• 39:55
  Ball one.
• 39:56
  One or two.
• 39:58
  Two gone.
• 40:00
  Staddy in a virtual second.
• 40:02
  The Guardie came on.
• 40:04
  With one out in the first inning.
• 40:06
  Two relieve young Miller.
• 40:08
  Bit way high and wide.
• 40:11
  Ball two.
• 40:13
  Two and two.
• 40:16
  Can Staddy.
• 40:18
  A Spartan.
• 40:19
  Four conditions.
• 40:21
  He runs.
• 40:23
  Every chance he gets.
• 40:25
  Two and two.
• 40:26
  Strike three calls.
• 40:28
  The ball blew up like a grapefruit came down.
• 40:31
  The ball was struck three calls.
• 40:33
  First strike out in the game by either of the two filled pitchers.
• 40:37
  So in the second inning.
• 40:39
  Yankee retirement.
• 40:40
  One two three.
• 40:41
  No runs.
• 40:42
  No hits.
• 40:43
  No errors.
• 40:44
  None left on.
• 40:45
  Two innings.
• 40:46
  Yankees two.
• 40:47
  The Phillies nothing.
• 40:49
  The fact that the Phillies.
• 40:54
  And incidentally.
• 40:56
  Old Pete.
• 40:57
  Grover Cleveland Alexander.
• 40:58
  Who hurled that.
• 40:59
  The first National League championship in 1915 was here.
• 41:02
  Yesterday.
• 41:03
  Not very well.
• 41:04
  But they say in the French box that he was still sharp enough to know what was going on.
• 41:09
  Anyway, these Phillies are the sentimental favorites.
• 41:12
  And everybody is hoping that even if they don't win the World Series and they certainly are deep down now.
• 41:19
  They would like to see the visiting National League club.
• 41:24
  This hand is looking static.
• 41:36
  I bet you even though you lose.
• 41:38
  It's a great feeling that all of the fans are appreciative of your effort.
• 41:42
  And certainly big Jim can static.
• 41:45
  Has written new marks in the record book.
• 41:47
  See that's right handed.
• 41:48
  And Ford's fastball is found off by Jim to the base of the screen behind the plate strike one.
• 41:54
  Miller of course never did get to the plate.
• 41:57
  In the series can Staddy got to the plate two times first day over two.
• 42:04
  Ball one.
• 42:05
  A curve that was just a wee bit high.
• 42:07
  Right handed batter.
• 42:08
  One ball one strike.
• 42:12
  Ford waits little time between pitches in the motion now he throws.
• 42:18
  Like two high fastballs.
• 42:21
  Two to nothing.
• 42:22
  Yankees leading top of the third now after a slow beginning in the first inning and a half.
• 42:26
  She's rolling along now.
• 42:27
  Sun comes out brilliant.
• 42:29
  Almost perfect baseball weather.
• 42:31
  One or two pitch.
• 42:32
  Wide and high ball two.
• 42:35
  Now let's check the wind for the moment.
• 42:37
  Very important for the long ball though Coleman hit the beat to left.
• 42:40
  It is blowing in decidedly from left field right now.
• 42:45
  A crockling in field.
• 42:47
  Not necessarily favoring anybody including a right field hitter.
• 42:50
  Two and two pitch.
• 42:52
  A ground ball.
• 42:54
  Slowly the second.
• 42:55
  Coleman up with it over the first in time.
• 42:57
  Staddy bounces out second to first.
• 42:59
  One down.
• 43:04
  Eddie Winkers.
• 43:06
  First fill base runner today.
• 43:08
  He drew a walk when Ford lost the mark for a while and passed him on a three to count.
• 43:15
  Eddie eventually moved around a third on Jones's double and pitching to Ennis.
• 43:20
  Dell forced the field of choice at the plate.
• 43:23
  Ball one wide.
• 43:25
  Ford now while missing occasionally is very very close.
• 43:30
  He missed by a scantage on the corner.
• 43:33
  One or no.
• 43:35
  He throws. Winkers swing. They zipper to center field.
• 43:38
  Base hit.
• 43:39
  Several hops fielded by DeMonte.
• 43:41
  He'll return to relay man.
• 43:42
  Second base then Coleman.
• 43:44
  Singles to center for Eddie Winkers.
• 43:47
  His fourth world series hit.
• 43:51
  A man on.
• 43:52
  One down.
• 43:53
  The beginning now of course is going to be necessary for the underdogs today.
• 43:58
  They have only been able to get one at a time.
• 44:00
  Three in three games and 28 innings.
• 44:06
  Yankees of scores have now scored an eight run.
• 44:10
  28 previous innings exclusive on this game.
• 44:13
  Ashburn about applied to left to the first.
• 44:15
  Go for one.
• 44:17
  Wide and high on the career ball.
• 44:19
  Ball one.
• 44:20
  One down.
• 44:21
  One on.
• 44:22
  One ball.
• 44:23
  No strike and number one for better.
• 44:25
  You might play the ace is a high on the Gillette scoreboard right now.
• 44:30
  The pitch.
• 44:31
  Inside.
• 44:32
  All right.
• 44:33
  Ball two.
• 44:34
  Two and a half.
• 44:35
  Outfield on Ashburn.
• 44:36
  Push then and toward the left.
• 44:37
  Straight away.
• 44:38
  Flap hitter.
• 44:39
  Infield.
• 44:40
  Playing up as if they would be looking for the double play which they are anyway but
• 44:43
  they play him that way anyway when there's nobody on.
• 44:45
  Fast runner.
• 44:46
  Two and a half.
• 44:47
  Two and a half.
• 44:48
  Two and a half.
• 44:49
  Two and a half.
• 44:50
  Two and a half.
• 44:51
  Two and a half.
• 44:52
  Two and a half.
• 44:53
  Two and a half.
• 44:54
  Fast runner.
• 44:55
  Two and a half.
• 44:56
  Squings and gets a foul.
• 44:57
  Just above our head.
• 44:59
  Behind the plate.
• 45:00
  Two and one.
• 45:01
  The vantage point for Mel, Al and myself is right smack jab behind the platter.
• 45:08
  The field is in front of it.
• 45:10
  And we can see the fancy hook with that ball as it sits in there to the opposing batters
• 45:16
  for the pitchers.
• 45:17
  Bored and Alcon Staddy.
• 45:18
  Bored in the stretch.
• 45:19
  Two and one.
• 45:20
  Pitching.
• 45:21
  Another foul, lost his third base dive, giving it a try, Doc Brown.
• 45:25
  No avail. End of the stand to Arlen.
• 45:29
  2-1-2.
• 45:33
  Wait just at first base, while not an exceptionally
• 45:37
  speedy base runner, a smart one.
• 45:41
  He's shut the ellipses knees high
• 45:45
  as in setting up exercise, physical training. Bigs well, runs
• 45:49
  off his toes. 2-2.
• 45:53
  Foot-foot, hash burn. Waiting for the pitch.
• 45:57
  Stoned by Ford. He stuck him out on a roundhouse curve.
• 46:01
  Well that's one of the first things a kid will pick up on a sandlot.
• 46:05
  And I imagine that was one of Ford's best deliveries.
• 46:09
  When he was operating in the baseball alliance with the Pearl Queens in New York, he really
• 46:13
  found him.
• 46:17
  So the hash burn, who struck out three times yesterday,
• 46:21
  now is fans of the fourth time. He and sister.
• 46:25
  Were tied until six struck out in the first.
• 46:29
  Two down on the batter Jones who doubled into the stand in right field.
• 46:33
  First inning. Strike one ball. Caught the corner for the right-handed batter.
• 46:49
  Two strikeouts now. A 24.
• 46:53
  Irish, Swedish, Kansas.
• 46:57
  Light, there's quite gold.
• 47:01
  Nothing in one. Checking it first.
• 47:05
  Coming to the plate. Inside of the toes on a curve.
• 47:09
  Ball one. One ball, one strike.
• 47:13
  Two gone. With the Phillies top of the third Yankees leading. Two to nothing.
• 47:17
  Two runs, two hits. Phillies no runs, two hits.
• 47:21
  Set for the 1-1 delivery.
• 47:25
  Swinging a ground ball to the left of short. Residual up the play at second for the fourth.
• 47:29
  Residual to Coleman to retire the Phillies in the top of the third inning.
• 47:33
  Fourth outplay goes short for second.
• 47:37
  Third inning for the Phillies, no runs. A single is centered by
• 47:41
  the Yankees. No errors by the Yankees. One man left. Two and a half innings.
• 47:45
  The Yankees two, the Phillies nothing.
• 47:49
  Kurt Simmons of the Philadelphia Phillies, meant every word.
• 47:53
  Shaving hand.
• 47:59
  Now when buying Gillette blue blades, ask for them in the
• 48:03
  improved Gillette dispenser. This hand magazine deals them out unwrapped.
• 48:07
  Ready for use. And has a built-in compartment for the safe, permanent disposal of used blades.
• 48:11
  You get 20 blades, 40 shaving edges
• 48:15
  for 98 cents. 10 blades for 49 cents.
• 48:19
  Remember, look sharp.
• 48:23
  Field sharp. B sharp. Use Gillette blue blades
• 48:27
  with the sharpest edges ever hold.
• 48:31
  Last of the third, New York batting, Woodling, lead off man.
• 48:35
  Takes the inside curve, a strike one. Gene
• 48:39
  through the life, Angoliad's bubble in the first and score the first
• 48:43
  of the two Yankee runs.
• 48:49
  Angoliad's bubble in the first and score the first of the two Yankee runs.
• 48:53
  Sandy Wines delivers. Gene swings as a lazy fly.
• 48:57
  The short left center. Ashburn calling for it.
• 49:01
  100 and makes the grab of the put-out. One down.
• 49:05
  Fly ball to side.
• 49:09
  Fly ball to side.
• 49:13
  Fielders at all. My hasn't missed
• 49:17
  Yankee defense. Displated self.
• 49:21
  The field, of course, are known to have just about the best infield
• 49:25
  in the National League. No flies on the Yankee defense either.
• 49:29
  Good scooter. Strike one called. Inside curve. One thing about
• 49:33
  Kinshawda, he uses a small strike zone and brother, he's got one up there right now in scooter.
• 49:37
  Nothing in one. An attempted
• 49:41
  punt. Ticked foul behind the plate.
• 49:45
  You see his limbs are so short that even when he moves the hand up
• 49:49
  to try to dump a punt to the left or a bleed one to the right
• 49:53
  he catches the defense completely off-dars, invariably.
• 49:57
  Nothing in two. Jones now moves back.
• 50:01
  Fielding with the punt is off. With a nothing-two-count on fill.
• 50:05
  Can Stanley pitch his risotto? Swing. Round ball toward the hole. Nice scoop by
• 50:09
  Jones. Go to first. In time by a side.
• 50:17
  Two men out. Good play by Jones.
• 50:21
  He went toward the base-head hole between third and short. I made a glove hand
• 50:25
  spear the ball and racing up
• 50:29
  to the left of an iron. Whipped over to first to get the fast run of risotto. Two gone.
• 50:33
  With a single on and off the eye.
• 50:37
  Strike one. Attempted punt.
• 50:41
  The crowd is kind of chuckling because they don't look for yogi to try to
• 50:45
  drag that ball for a punt. I'll tell you, he doesn't run too fast either
• 50:49
  at all. But not a good strategy. The pitch is high and wide.
• 50:53
  Jones, of course, is not taking any chances. Moves in. Second pitch.
• 50:57
  One-on-one.
• 51:01
  Two is talking about risotto. Is there a one-on-one pitch? That swing and a foul.
• 51:05
  Jones is going to give it a try but can't get it. Into the sand.
• 51:09
  Box seats left side.
• 51:17
  Mel points out that there are just like a lot of other catches and
• 51:21
  ponderously built fellas have to get good starts. But once they get flowered, they like
• 51:25
  those pullbacks that we're crashing through today. A lot of good iron. One and two pitch.
• 51:29
  Ground ball. Hits to the right of second. Up with it. Gulli had over the first
• 51:33
  in time on a quick scoop by Wacom. Called out by Conlon.
• 51:37
  And now I notice that Conlon had a use his left arm to call it out
• 51:41
  today because he was bruised in awe on the opening day. Vera bounces out
• 51:45
  second to first. So I'd be tired in order for the second straight inning.
• 51:49
  Conscending now, switching wonderful relief ball. Now his club trails. Two to nothing.
• 51:53
  No runs. No hits. No errors. None left on. Three innings totals.
• 51:57
  Two run. Two hits. No errors. And one left on.
• 52:01
  For the Phillies. No runs. Two hits. A big juicy food.
• 52:05
  And three men left on.
• 52:09
  The late scout
• 52:13
  O'Rourke who once worked for the Detroit Tigers as well as the Yankees
• 52:17
  made a statement to me one time. We were watching a ball game in the
• 52:21
  upper New York State League where a lot of collegians like Hank Faroia and many others
• 52:25
  had come on to the big time. He said in a tight ball game
• 52:29
  you look up at the sky and you say please
• 52:33
  let us have a juicy boot. And the one big
• 52:37
  bobble in the game of course has undoubtedly aided the Yankee Cogs.
• 52:41
  But they played well. They backed up board with a tight defense. And the Phillies now
• 52:45
  not only have to come from behind. Three games down. But must
• 52:49
  stage a beginning. For the bombers when
• 52:53
  they're spotted a couple of runs are tough to catch. And when you start hitting
• 52:57
  against them they start digging into the toes too. Now
• 53:01
  the top of the fourth inning. Dell and it's who grounded into
• 53:05
  a third to the plate. The field is choice to retire a waker. So it's a
• 53:09
  third at the time in the first inning. Over one. Dell has one world series hit
• 53:13
  a double. Letting right handed. Ford's fastball takes off
• 53:17
  too high and wide to the right handed. That a ball was.
• 53:21
  Why D4?
• 53:25
  Third baseman Brown not too deep. For Zodo deep to the shortstop hole.
• 53:29
  Outfield to the left. One or nothing bitch. Swing. Fly ball.
• 53:33
  Gallup. Ford right. But going into the stands and foul territory.
• 53:37
  One on one.
• 53:41
  Now Ford uses this moment to work on the ball
• 53:45
  a little bit. They called out a big blacksmith. He hasn't produced too much
• 53:49
  power. Although he certainly sent a lot of back at Shib Park for a 400 foot
• 53:53
  cloud. Joe hold it in. One on one. Swing on it.
• 53:57
  A change up curve that was a beauty. Throwing tight to the big right handed
• 54:01
  batter. Strike two.
• 54:05
  One ball just like Yankee's leading.
• 54:09
  Two or nothing. Top of the fourth. First man up.
• 54:13
  Slow hit. Four long third baselines.
• 54:17
  And it stays there.
• 54:21
  That ball
• 54:25
  was teasing Bobby Brown.
• 54:29
  Third baseman. And it said I got great big eyes Bobby.
• 54:33
  I don't know whether I want to go to the left or stay inside this white line.
• 54:37
  And so the ball turned its eyes right.
• 54:41
  And stayed right inside the line for a second.
• 54:45
  If there ever was one.
• 54:49
  And it's on. And the crowd really roared on that one.
• 54:53
  One of the most unique offensive plays in the game. And in the series.
• 54:57
  System of the banner. There's a left handed throw to first by Ford.
• 55:01
  No tag by Mice. And it's back to plenty of time.
• 55:09
  Swing. My ball. Very deep to the right. Moving in under the ball.
• 55:13
  Closing. And all the down.
• 55:17
  One away. The crowd roared for the moment. As this one uppercut the ball.
• 55:21
  And Bob banked away. But then he got the beat on it. And moved in fast for the put-off.
• 55:25
  One down.
• 55:29
  Grown hander. Also one. Ground ball to the shortstop. And then the put-off.
• 55:33
  And the second and eight.
• 55:37
  Right handed slinger. He's leading extra base producer in the series.
• 55:41
  Her misses outside. Low ball one. Ford pitching with tremendous
• 55:45
  voice for a fellow who's about to celebrate his 22nd
• 55:49
  birthday. 21st of this month.
• 55:53
  One ball no strikes to Hamner. Pitching.
• 55:57
  Swinging the right. Got the fast ball in there. High.
• 56:01
  I think one of the big reasons that Hamner has not been
• 56:05
  scattered too well. In other words they didn't look for him to hit the long ball off.
• 56:09
  It's the fact that he is an inveterate bad ball hitter. A lot of his hits
• 56:13
  were seen. Of what would have been balls as told by
• 56:17
  the umpire. One on one. Stretched by Ford.
• 56:21
  The check at first. Comes to the plate. Two low.
• 56:25
  Ball two. Two on one. And it's at first.
• 56:29
  With an infield single that they'll be writing about tonight.
• 56:33
  It just refused to go foul. And Brown waited on it.
• 56:37
  Wasn't much else to talk to either.
• 56:41
  Because if it had picked it up anyway it would have been tied at first base. Two on one.
• 56:45
  It comes to pitch. The runner breaks. The ground ball. Swaps all the hole.
• 56:49
  It's the third. Up with the ball is power. And the Phillies have run as it first and third.
• 56:53
  That was a weak ground ball but the hitter on word perfectly. With a right handed
• 56:57
  batter up there and it broke for seconds to drag and suck out
• 57:01
  foreman from the play. Like a football trend. And so it left a tremendous
• 57:05
  gap between first base in Mies and second base in Coleman. And roll lazily
• 57:09
  to short right field. Giving Hammer a ground single.
• 57:13
  And spotting Ennis at third base in scoring position. With one man up.
• 57:17
  And Semonix coming up.
• 57:21
  Two nothing Yankee leads.
• 57:25
  Albedo Ford.
• 57:29
  Buddy Ford and the stretch.
• 57:33
  Ford throws. Too close. And low. Ball one.
• 57:37
  Semonix right handed batter. Bounced out to short. Second inning.
• 57:41
  Robin Roberts has begun warming up. And the Phillies both pass.
• 57:45
  Phil's pulling out the stoppers.
• 57:49
  One on nothing. Ford throws. Semonix swings. Ground ball.
• 57:53
  Just inside the line. Goes to the plate. He is out.
• 57:57
  He takes fourth base course.
• 58:01
  Here's the runner. Caught in a first base. And he goes back.
• 58:05
  Residual fubble ball. Cannon moves to third.
• 58:09
  And Carlin is pulling Semonix out.
• 58:13
  On a first to catcher.
• 58:17
  Double play. The side is actually retired.
• 58:21
  So they waited out there in conference. It is a double play
• 58:25
  band. Lies tagging the bag. So Semonix didn't think so.
• 58:29
  Carlin called him out. And the throw to the plate is what we call a three
• 58:33
  three two double play. First base been getting a put out in the assist. And the runner
• 58:37
  at the plate. And it's retired. No runs.
• 58:41
  Two hits and a very weird inning. No errors.
• 58:45
  And one man left on.
• 58:49
  Three and a half innings. Gar Yankee two. Pills nothing.
• 58:53
  Man for the greatest shaving bargain ever offered. By a modern Gillette Super Speed
• 58:57
  Razor set. Believe me it's the biggest package of shaving comfort and convenience
• 59:01
  that our ever bought. The Gillette Super Speed Razor is an ingeniously
• 59:05
  designed, superbly made one piece razor that gives you the best looking
• 59:09
  most refreshing shades in the book. And saves time and plus as well.
• 59:13
  In every sense it's a precision shaving instrument. Not a gadget.
• 59:17
  There's nothing to take apart or put together. Nothing to waste your time or try your
• 59:21
  patience. It changes blades instantly. Cleans instantly.
• 59:25
  And can't jam or clog. Ask for a Gillette Super
• 59:29
  Speed Razor and enjoy modern shaving comfort and convenience.
• 59:33
  It comes in a handsome styrene travel case with a Gillette dispenser holding ten
• 59:37
  factory sharp Gillette blue blades. Here's a big dollar
• 59:41
  75 I do for only a dollar.
• 59:45
  That play could bear out further explanation.
• 59:49
  The Yankees didn't realize with the exception of minds that he attacked the bag.
• 59:53
  The Conlin had already called Seminick out. And then Mize threw to the plate and
• 59:57
  promptly retired Delinus. That was one of the weirdest sinnings this series has
• 1:00:01
  witnessed. Nobody knew what was up except Mize and Conlin.
• 1:00:05
  Now the last of the four. DiMaggio facing his daddy who draws.
• 1:00:09
  Spike one calls. George filled two to nothing. And the fans have filled
• 1:00:13
  dozens of themselves about that last inning. The bills have had two grand scoring opportunities
• 1:00:17
  but their thoughts failed. Yankees leading. Nothing in one. DiMage
• 1:00:21
  wins. Then it was like two.
• 1:00:25
  Sawyer had Roberts getting ready and they filled both
• 1:00:29
  and you see in case the inning was full on. And they got down as far as the pitcher
• 1:00:33
  and a possible pinch hitter. Nothing to count
• 1:00:37
  DiMaggio. The standing pitch too high around the chin more
• 1:00:41
  than the pitch. One and two. Two punts by the big professor. The
• 1:00:55
  kick. The pitch. Wings and a two. Squint him out. On a sliding slider.
• 1:00:59
  Going away to the right handed batter. One down.
• 1:01:03
  And daddy's second strikeout. He is hurting
• 1:01:07
  him significantly. No training. Two to nothing. And of course young four.
• 1:01:11
  Has certainly had the opportunity to see his own defense
• 1:01:15
  really come to his rescue. I don't know whether
• 1:01:19
  Mize himself realized he tagged the bag but Conlin pointed it out to the fans. Here's
• 1:01:23
  Mize now. Yankees takes the low inside for a one.
• 1:01:27
  One ball and no strikes. One down
• 1:01:31
  and over the arm for the Yankees last and the fourth. They lead two to nothing over the Phillies.
• 1:01:35
  And he sets the livers. Two close.
• 1:01:39
  Wall two. Mize free swing left hander.
• 1:01:43
  And he throws right. Big beefy fellow.
• 1:01:47
  Ways to 240 pounds.
• 1:01:51
  Swing. Line drive. Right field in there.
• 1:01:55
  Bait it. Charging up to it. And it's the field. And Mize is on.
• 1:01:59
  With his second world series hit.
• 1:02:03
  That's the first hit off Consteady.
• 1:02:07
  He had retired nine Yankees in order
• 1:02:11
  when he came on with the module at second and one out to relieve Mida in the very
• 1:02:15
  first inning. Now the pest Bobby Brown.
• 1:02:19
  Left handed batter low inside. Ball one.
• 1:02:23
  Both of Mize's singles
• 1:02:27
  in this series have been carbon copies.
• 1:02:31
  Lofters over the second baseman's head and dipping into short right field.
• 1:02:35
  Want to know how to Bobby Brown.
• 1:02:39
  All for one. Stetch pitch. Stake one ball.
• 1:02:43
  We're having a great opportunity today, mellow myself,
• 1:02:47
  to watch the break of these pitches tossed up there by Consteady.
• 1:02:51
  We watch games during the season off at Angles usually. And I can tell you this fella has
• 1:02:55
  something on the ball. They may call it what players term junk.
• 1:02:59
  Very expensive junk. One to one. As the ball left it to center
• 1:03:03
  very high. Ashburn backpedaling about six yards. Camp center and
• 1:03:07
  holes it in. Brown flies to center.
• 1:03:11
  The ball has been hit up in the air I think more often than down in the
• 1:03:15
  third. This series. Two men out. And a runner on.
• 1:03:19
  And Henry Bower who pumped out the shortstop. Hamner in his first trip.
• 1:03:23
  Butting right handed. Slow stretch by the pitcher
• 1:03:27
  Consteady throws. Bower swings. Chopping ground foul. Third base side.
• 1:03:31
  Frankie Crocetti picks it up and gets it to the opposing third baseman
• 1:03:35
  Jones. Sawyer who was a Yankee organization man tells us that Crocetti
• 1:03:39
  might have been the game's greatest second baseman.
• 1:03:43
  But they needed a shortstop and what a shortstop he was. And one of the most
• 1:03:47
  manly Yankee errors. Nothing in one count. Pitch to the right handed
• 1:03:51
  batter. Swing. A zipper to third. Jones throw to second for the fourth.
• 1:03:55
  Bara bounces into a final out force.
• 1:03:59
  The third baseman Jones for the second baseman Mike Goliath.
• 1:04:03
  And the Yankees are set down on the fourth without a run. A right field single
• 1:04:07
  by Myers. No field errors and one man left. Four innings.
• 1:04:11
  Yanks two runs. Three hits. No errors. Fills no runs. Four hits.
• 1:04:15
  One error. For slick refreshing
• 1:04:19
  shaves that look tip top and feel the same. Use Gillette
• 1:04:23
  blue blades. These finest abrasive blades five for a quarter
• 1:04:27
  have the sharpest most beautifully finished edges ever home. Also they're hard
• 1:04:31
  enough to cut glass so they stay keen for one comfortable shave after
• 1:04:35
  another and save you money. When buying Gillette blue blades
• 1:04:39
  ask for them in a handy Gillette dispenser that feels the blades out unwrapped
• 1:04:43
  ready for use. It comes in both 10 and 20 blade sizes
• 1:04:47
  for the regular price of the blades at all. 10 seconds
• 1:04:51
  for station identification. This is the mutual broadcasting system.
• 1:05:09
  Back at Yankee Stadium New York with Mel Allen and Al Helger. This is
• 1:05:13
  Jean Kelly on Gillette's Cavalcade of Sports. The fourth game
• 1:05:17
  of the 1950 World Series. The New York Yankees two. The Phillies
• 1:05:21
  nothing. Mike Goliath leading off top of the fifth. Facing
• 1:05:25
  24 who throws. Strike one ball. A curve
• 1:05:29
  for the right handed batter. Goliath's slide to that field in his
• 1:05:33
  first trip up. He has two World Series hits.
• 1:05:37
  And looks at a low curve of all one.
• 1:05:49
  He has a very short stroke. Swinging at the ball. One on one.
• 1:05:53
  A high curve ball two. Two on one. Goliath.
• 1:05:57
  Then Pitchick and Staddy do to be followed by
• 1:06:01
  number one batter Eddie Wakers.
• 1:06:07
  Ford in the 2-1 pitch. Right to call. He's
• 1:06:11
  really cutting those corners with his youngster. And it's amazing.
• 1:06:15
  The great boys and self confidence he's exhibiting
• 1:06:19
  out there on the hill today. I'm sure the
• 1:06:23
  scouts for the Phillies had great praise for this youngster. Even up to two pitch.
• 1:06:27
  Swinging them at Stucky Mountain.
• 1:06:31
  Number three for Eddie Ford. He gets Goliath swinging on a lazy curve.
• 1:06:35
  Now for Staddy. Listen.
• 1:06:51
  Stepson he bounced out the second base last time and Jim
• 1:06:54
  swings as they boom in the right field. It is in there for a base hit.
• 1:06:58
  And almost got away from Hang Power. He didn't know whether to play it safe
• 1:07:02
  on a charge for the shoestring. And the ball kept zipping away to his
• 1:07:06
  all left. He's the right fielder. And he managed to trap it else it would have been
• 1:07:10
  curtain for him for the moment at least. So, uh, Staddy gets a single right.
• 1:07:14
  The pitchers in the series. A witness
• 1:07:18
  low pat. Reynolds. Rashid.
• 1:07:22
  Now for Staddy. Getting hits.
• 1:07:26
  And Yankee artillery goes way down to number nine. The young
• 1:07:30
  filled fat boy brings out the right red warm up sweater for
• 1:07:34
  Staddy. It was his first place for the singles. Can't say he's not contributing to his own cause.
• 1:07:38
  Banner said he winked. Ford throws him. Eddie swings. They line by
• 1:07:42
  for a much better field. Moving in under Woodling makes the catch. Nice play.
• 1:07:46
  Staddy jogs back to first. This wind out here
• 1:07:50
  is playing havoc with the outfielders. I believe that when Barre on the single
• 1:07:54
  bike and Staddy played it, he was crossed up by it. It's a crosswind type
• 1:07:58
  though primarily it is going in from dead left today. Across the
• 1:08:02
  diamond. And that's why Woodling had a bit of difficulty with the wakers who
• 1:08:06
  smashed to left. Two down.
• 1:08:10
  Banner, Ashburn. Open two. Fly ball to left. Strike out swinging on
• 1:08:14
  a roundhouse curve. Ford throws.
• 1:08:18
  Richie takes high and wide. 4-1.
• 1:08:22
  Score two to nothing. New York both runs in the first inning and since that time
• 1:08:26
  Staddy has matched the rookie for pitch for pitch.
• 1:08:30
  What a series this has been.
• 1:08:34
  For the low run.
• 1:08:38
  Shadow a third round. Ford in the stretch.
• 1:08:42
  Comes to the plate. Swing and a high pop. Back up second base.
• 1:08:46
  Barre moving in. Coleman weighs everybody away. Second baseman grabs to put out 30 feet
• 1:08:50
  on the ground. Ashburn pops out short right to the second baseman Jerry Coleman.
• 1:08:54
  Wines up the fifth. Flaws the Phillies. No runs. One hit.
• 1:08:58
  The field fifth. No errors by the Yankees. One man.
• 1:09:02
  Pitcher can Staddy. Left on. Four and one half innings. New York two.
• 1:09:06
  Philadelphia nothing. There has been
• 1:09:10
  only one triple play in World Series history. Also only one
• 1:09:14
  run with the laces loaded. Interestingly enough both occurred in the same
• 1:09:18
  game. Giving the fans a lot for their money. Yes men
• 1:09:22
  and you always get a lot for your money when you ask for Gillette shaving cream, leather
• 1:09:26
  or brushless. These fast acting beard softeners help you get
• 1:09:30
  easier and far better looking shaves. Also they contain
• 1:09:34
  K34 which gives valuable protection against annoying
• 1:09:38
  facial blemishes caused by infectious germs. This amazing
• 1:09:42
  antiseptic destroys from 85 to 99% of the bacteria
• 1:09:46
  on and beneath outer layers of the skin. Not only that
• 1:09:50
  but it keeps the bacteria count down from one day shave until the next.
• 1:09:54
  Apporting lasting protection. Get acquainted with Gillette leather
• 1:09:58
  or Gillette brushless. 30 cents. No other shaving creams contain
• 1:10:02
  K34.
• 1:10:06
  But the WizKids have two runs in.
• 1:10:10
  Seminix being replaced by a runner Mayo and the pitch is outside for a ball to Mike
• 1:10:16
  Goliath. So unless the Phillies continue to come through here
• 1:10:22
  in the ninth inning it would be a heartbreaking error for Ford who wanted the
• 1:10:26
  shutout. The pitch low outside for a ball. Two balls no strikes.
• 1:10:30
  Goliath's
• 1:10:34
  glad to let struck out file the first Mayo on first place two down
• 1:10:38
  two in ninth inning five to two the score of the delivery right in there for a call strike.
• 1:10:42
  June 1.
• 1:10:46
  Two balls one strike.
• 1:10:50
  Two balls one strike.
• 1:10:54
  Two balls one strike.
• 1:10:58
  Two balls one strike.
• 1:11:02
  The stretch Mayo with a lead and the pitch.
• 1:11:06
  Swung on a ground ball hit into the hole between first and second and left field for a base hit.
• 1:11:10
  Up to the ball is Woodling throws back to Rizzuto holding it second as Mayo.
• 1:11:14
  And now the tying run comes to the plate for the WizKids.
• 1:11:18
  And it will be a pinch hitter.
• 1:11:22
  Stan Lopata
• 1:11:26
  will be the bat for Robin Roberts.
• 1:11:30
  And while there's a bit of a conference at the mound as
• 1:11:36
  Stingle comes out of the dugout we pause ten seconds for station identification.
• 1:11:40
  This is the mutual broadcasting system.
• 1:11:44
  This is the mutual broadcasting system.
• 1:11:48
  This is the mutual broadcasting system.
• 1:11:52
  This is the mutual broadcasting system.
• 1:11:56
  This is the mutual broadcasting system.
• 1:12:00
  Casey Stingle has elected to remove
• 1:12:04
  Whitey Ford from the ballgame.
• 1:12:08
  And we'll have a new pitcher coming on for the Yankees in the top of the ninth inning.
• 1:12:12
  And so for the second
• 1:12:16
  straight day a Yankee starter has been relieved.
• 1:12:20
  Although Lopata yesterday pitched excellent ball as did Whitey Ford here.
• 1:12:24
  Ford went to the ninth inning with two outs
• 1:12:28
  and a potential shutout in his grasp when Woodling
• 1:12:32
  dropped the deep liner hit by some nick that
• 1:12:36
  would have been the third out. It was charged with an error two runs scored.
• 1:12:40
  And then the follow-up single by Goliath has put the Phillies
• 1:12:44
  in position whereby the distance cloud
• 1:12:48
  could tie it up.
• 1:12:52
  And Allie Reynolds is coming in from the ballpen
• 1:12:56
  to relieve Whitey Ford who went eight and two-thirds innings.
• 1:13:00
  A loud seven hits.
• 1:13:04
  Walked one man, the very first one he faced,
• 1:13:08
  hit a batter in the ninth inning, struck out seven
• 1:13:12
  and actually has not officially allowed
• 1:13:16
  any run. The two runs that the Phillies have scored here in the ninth inning
• 1:13:20
  will be classified as unearned.
• 1:13:24
  So Allie Reynolds comes on for the second time in the series
• 1:13:28
  and Ford gets the hands he needs.
• 1:13:52
  In the event that Allie Reynolds should subdued the Phillies
• 1:13:56
  here in the ninth inning, the Vickby would still go to Ford
• 1:14:00
  in the event he may be, and this is unofficial,
• 1:14:04
  he may be the youngest ever to win a World Series game.
• 1:14:08
  Dave Adams, whom Pittsburgh fans will recall vividly,
• 1:14:14
  among others, won a World Series game for the Pirates
• 1:14:18
  against the Tigers in 1909 when he was just 25 years of age.
• 1:14:22
  Some of the fans are booing Casey for removing
• 1:14:28
  Whitey Ford.
• 1:14:34
  And now Casey calls Jim Turner out of the Yankee dugout, he's the Yankees' pitching coach
• 1:14:38
  to ask him something, and Casey then goes back to the mound
• 1:14:42
  to say something to Reynolds. So we've had some
• 1:14:46
  real excitement here in the ninth inning.
• 1:14:50
  The Yankees leading five to nothing, and with their 13th World Championship
• 1:14:54
  almost all wrapped up, the Phillies have begun to go to work.
• 1:15:00
  Stan LaFatta, a 6'2", 210 pounder, 25 years of age
• 1:15:06
  from Detroit, Michigan, steps into bat for Robin Roberts.
• 1:15:14
  He had 26 out of 130 on the season.
• 1:15:18
  Wasn't too active, he's a big fellow.
• 1:15:22
  Runner's on first and second.
• 1:15:26
  Mayo on second, Goliath on first, two outs.
• 1:15:30
  Ninth inning, the pitch. Strike ball, fastball in there,
• 1:15:34
  letter high, Reynolds fastball pitcher.
• 1:15:42
  Halley's already achieved one victory in this series.
• 1:15:52
  Mayo off second, Goliath off first, the stretch. Here's the pitch.
• 1:15:56
  Lopata swings and misses, one, two.
• 1:16:00
  He threw an aspirin tablet up there that time.
• 1:16:04
  Reynolds can throw as hard as anybody in the major leagues.
• 1:16:10
  And when he erares back and fires as hard as he can, it's tough to see him.
• 1:16:18
  Looks into getting a sign, two strikes on Lopata, Mayo off second.
• 1:16:22
  Goliath off first, stretch by Reynolds. Here's the pitch and it is.
• 1:16:30
  No strike three, almost went for it and held up its low with a curveball.
• 1:16:34
  One and two, the crowd started to roar.
• 1:16:38
  One and two, the compound on Lopata.
• 1:16:48
  Halley gets his sign, Goliath leads off second.
• 1:16:52
  Mike Goliath off first, the stretch. Here's the pitch.
• 1:16:54
  Lopata swings and misses, strike three in the Yankees, a world champion for the 13th time.
• 1:17:00
  As Halley Reynolds powered another fastball by him.
• 1:17:04
  And the final score, New York five, Philadelphia two.
• 1:17:08
  And there goes Eddie Sawyer, the manager of the Philadelphia Phillies from his third base coaches box,
• 1:17:14
  over toward the Yankee dugout to be among the first to go in to congratulate Casey Stengel and the Yankees
• 1:17:20
  on having swept the four games for their 13th world championship out of 17 efforts.
• 1:17:28
  17 tenets and 13 times have been returned the victors in the World Series.
• 1:17:34
  And for the sixth time, out of those 13 world championship achievements,
• 1:17:43
  have won the series four games to none and that has been accomplished only nine times overall
• 1:17:50
  in the 47 year history of the World Series.
• 1:17:53
  So here you are with the totals.
• 1:17:57
  The Yankees five runs, eight hits, two errors, four men left on.
• 1:18:07
  For the Philadelphia Phillies two runs, seven hits, one error, and seven men left on.
• 1:18:13
  That check gene.
• 1:18:16
  And so the World Series now is history. Al Helfer is on hand to give you his brilliant analysis and summary.
• 1:18:23
  But before Al comes in, I'm sure he won't mind a word from Gene Kelly.
• 1:18:29
  I know that Gene enjoyed broadcasting this World Series as much as you fans enjoyed listening to it.
• 1:18:36
  Gene, it was one that got over with in a hurry in the four games.
• 1:18:41
  I just wondered what you thought about it.
• 1:18:44
  Well, in the first three games, Mel, there's no question that scouting came to the fore.
• 1:18:48
  The pitching was magnificent.
• 1:18:50
  The feeling was superb. And of course, every time the field had a lapse mentally, offensively, or defensively,
• 1:18:57
  the Yankees didn't fail to take advantage of the opportunity.
• 1:19:00
  I'd like to kind of check back on the quote that we gave to Tom Flarek, the ace release for the Yankees yesterday.
• 1:19:08
  He says there isn't much difference in these teams, personnel-wise.
• 1:19:11
  He says there is age-wise and he doesn't mean graybeard.
• 1:19:15
  At the experience hold, and that today, scouting went out the window because Constanti had to come back comparatively quickly.
• 1:19:21
  He hadn't gone stretches of distance too frequently this season.
• 1:19:25
  And at a youngster, 21 years of age, who learned his baseball in the same lots of Long Island City within shouting distance,
• 1:19:32
  this Bronx ballpark was masterful all the way.
• 1:19:35
  Of course, legitimately, as you said, Mel, the two runs shouldn't have scored at all.
• 1:19:39
  But those just couldn't muster up a batting attack. Worth their salt. Their pitching, as you'll have to admit, was great for the three games.
• 1:19:47
  And that Sawyer, if he had won today, would have had a three-way gavel.
• 1:19:50
  He would have had to use Constanti and Relief after Miller.
• 1:19:53
  Come back with Roberts tomorrow.
• 1:19:56
  And even if there was a possible victory here in the Sunday ballgame,
• 1:19:59
  he still would have had to scrape around the bottom of the bag to come up with pitchers that might try something that never has been done
• 1:20:06
  in the history of this World Series Autumn Classic that has come from behind three games down.
• 1:20:11
  The Yankees, you might say, Mel, deserve to win.
• 1:20:14
  And I think that the Phillies will be the first clubs to admit it because you saw the old Yankee organization man himself,
• 1:20:19
  Skip Ready Sawyer, Race to the Dugout, to be the first one to congratulate the Yankees.
• 1:20:24
  I want to say this much, Mel. For me, it's a thrill of a lifetime if I don't live another minute.
• 1:20:28
  I have lived for 1950 with a pen and one of the Phillies and into a World Series Classic.
• 1:20:34
  Even the most optimistic, except Sawyer himself, felt would occur.
• 1:20:38
  It's been a great opportunity for yours truly working with you, Al Helper and the rest of the mutual and Gillette crew,
• 1:20:44
  and to see a great ball club fully deserving of its second straight world championship.
• 1:20:50
  And it's 13th of all time. You can throw the numerology out the window, Mel.
• 1:20:54
  Well, thank you ever so much, Gene. It was a great pleasure being able to work with you.
• 1:20:59
  And I just wanted to say this. The Yankees have been a team that you can characterize basically as alert opportunists.
• 1:21:09
  As Red Rolf, Hank Greenberg and many baseball observers have said, the Yankees are not the old type overpowering Yankees,
• 1:21:18
  but they are a type of ball club that will never beat themselves.
• 1:21:24
  And whenever you give them any sort of an opening, they're quick to take advantage of it.
• 1:21:29
  And so that's the score there as the Yankees go on to win the World Championship for their second straight year
• 1:21:36
  and the 13th time in their glorious history.
• 1:21:40
  Eddie Ford was the winning pitcher, Bob Miller the loser, and now here is Al Helper to wind it up in his inimitable fashion.
• 1:21:48
  OK, Al. Well, thank you very much, Mel. Ladies and gentlemen, we saw many impressive things here in the 1950 World Series,
• 1:21:55
  but I think the most impressive was to see the entire stands here this afternoon rise and applaud young Wadi Ford
• 1:22:02
  as he strolled ejectively off the mound after having been taken out in the ballgame in the top half of the light dining.
• 1:22:07
  But young Wadi Ford weathered a very stormy top half of the first inning, in which he walked leadoff man, Wakers,
• 1:22:12
  and allowed Jones to double him around the third with one out, and then proceeded to close up the frame by striking out Sissler
• 1:22:18
  after Bobby Brown had thrown Wakers out of the plate on Delano's roller to third.
• 1:22:22
  The Phillies starting pitcher Bob Millidoe didn't fare so well with Lady Lock in the first inning.
• 1:22:26
  The breaks won against the young right-hander from the very start when leadoffer Gene Whitling's grounded to second was pooted by Mike Goliath for an error.
• 1:22:33
  Rezuto advanced Gene by grounding out to Jones and then Yogi Perra hammered in the first run of the game and the inning with a line drive single to right field,
• 1:22:42
  pitching carefully to Joda Maggio, Minner uncorked a wild throw and Perra raced all the way around the third.
• 1:22:47
  The Maggio then proceeded to double to right to score Perra in a trot from third base.
• 1:22:51
  And he saw your lift at his starter at this point and called upon the dependable Jim Kinsteady to pitch to Mies and Brown,
• 1:22:57
  which he did to retire the side with two runs on two hits at one Phillies' error.
• 1:23:01
  From the first inning until the sixth cansteady had given the Yankees but two hits and pitching for two third innings and relief.
• 1:23:07
  But his foul over the New Yorkers was broken when Yogi Perra slammed one into the right field stands for Homer to score the Yankees third run.
• 1:23:14
  The Maggio was put on, hit by the pitch and after Mies grounded out to move to Maggio the second, Bobby Brown got him home to score with a triple rammed into right center.
• 1:23:22
  Barra scored Brown with fly ball to deep right and Coleman ended the inning with a pop-up to hammer, short for three runs on two hits.
• 1:23:30
  There was no more scoring then until the top half of the ninth inning.
• 1:23:33
  When Gene Woodling with two away allowed a high fly ball as Mel and Gene told you the trot almost untouched,
• 1:23:40
  thereby allowing the Phillies to pick up two runs on two hits and they had two errors.
• 1:23:46
  There was two left on, there was that one error in the pre-.
• 1:23:49
  So the final totals again for the Phillies, two runs, seven hits, one error.
• 1:23:53
  They had seven men left on, their losing pitcher was Bob Miller.
• 1:23:56
  The AX5 runs eight hits, two errors, they had four men left on and the winning pitcher and rightly so was young Whitey 4.
• 1:24:02
  As far as attendance here at the World Series 1950 is concerned, a total paid attendance of 196,000 and nine were paid.
• 1:24:10
  It's going to be 63,406 in here at the Yankee Stadium for two games, 132,603.
• 1:24:17
  And one note, probably Whitey 4 at age 21 is the youngest pitcher, probably I say, the youngest pitcher to ever win a World Series game.
• 1:24:25
  If memory serves correctly, Babe Adams was about 25 years of age when in 1909 he won the first game of the 1909 World Series while pitching for Pittsburgh against Detroit.
• 1:24:37
  That ball game went to Pittsburgh, many of the old timers will remember at four to one.
• 1:24:42
  Well, the 47th annual baseball classic is now history.
• 1:24:46
  This 1950 World Series cannot be remembered as one filled with spectacular action and color,
• 1:24:50
  but rather as a series of contests in which the hopes of ambitious youth was eclipsed by veteran savvy, know-how and professional experience.
• 1:24:58
  Well, almost surely had the series been decided solely upon the spirit, determination and willingness, Philadelphia might well have been able to write a much different story for baseball's record book.
• 1:25:08
  However, there are things we shall always think of when recalling play in the 1950 series.
• 1:25:13
  We shall always remember the fine pitching performances of McBrashery, Jim Constantine, Robin Robertson and Alireno
• 1:25:18
  and the adept catching and handling of these pitchers by Simonica Fafil and Barra of the Yankees.
• 1:25:23
  We shall always remember too the fat inside pitch which Roberts served to Joda Maggio in the 10th inning of the second game
• 1:25:29
  and how that great competitor leaned into that pitch and smashed it into the left center field stand for the home run which gave the Yankees their second straight fix.
• 1:25:36
  Or can we forget the timely hitting and fine defensive play of Yankee second baseman Jerry Coleman?
• 1:25:40
  And during the months and years to come, the strategy used by the opposing managers will be discussed over and over again.
• 1:25:46
  But one conclusion can be counted.
• 1:25:48
  Both Stengel who has stupefiedly handled the world champion Yankees
• 1:25:54
  and Eddie Sawyer whose pitching staff was severely riddled by the loss of Kurt Simmons and with injuries to Church and Miller
• 1:25:59
  made the moves which most benefited youthful talent he directed.
• 1:26:03
  Another thing we shall remember is how the pitching in the series silenced the bats of the power hitters
• 1:26:08
  and when batters did get a hold of one, that so-called rabbit ball got nowhere.
• 1:26:12
  And so it seems that this year's World Series exploded the year-long myth of the lively ball.
• 1:26:18
  To pick heroes in this World Series, well you might say Joda Maggio, Vikrashe, Ali Reynolds, Jerry Coleman and Yolke Barrett
• 1:26:26
  and all of the bills for that determined fight.
• 1:26:29
  Well, then that's about it.
• 1:26:32
  The story of another World Series goes into the record.
• 1:26:35
  But Gillette's cable-cable sports carries on.
• 1:26:37

  Now this is Al Helper who has enjoyed tremendously working with Gene Kelly of Philadelphia and Mel Allen of New York.
• 1:26:53
  A couple of fine guys enjoyed very much.
• 1:26:56
  And this is Al Helper.
• 1:26:58
