• 0:09
  the Chicago Cubs faced the Los Angeles Dodgers
• 0:11
  in a Monday night game at Dodger Stadium. The
• 0:14
  Cubs, managed by the charismatic Leo de Rocher
• 0:16
  in his sixth year as skipper, had struggled to
• 0:18
  be better than a 500 team over the past five
• 0:21
  years and entered this game with a 2 -5 record.
• 0:25
  The Dodgers, led by Walt Alston in his 17th season,
• 0:28
  had experienced significant success early in
• 0:30
  his tenure with six National League pennants
• 0:32
  in his first 12 seasons, but had been stuck in
• 0:35
  mediocrity as a 500 club over the last five years.
• 0:39
  The Cubs sent Ken Holtzman to the mound. Holtzman,
• 0:43
  who finished the 1970 season with 17 wins, was
• 0:46
  looking to rebound from a poor first start in
• 0:48
  the 1971 season, where he gave up six runs in
• 0:51
  four innings against the Astros. The Dodgers
• 0:53
  countered with Sandy Vance, making his first
• 0:56
  start of the season coming off a strong rookie
• 0:58
  year in 1970 with a 7 -7 record. This audio recording
• 1:02
  is from the Los Angeles radio broadcast featuring
• 1:04
  announcers Vin Scully and Jerry Doggett. Run
• 1:27
  Becker to second base. Billy Williams in left
• 1:31
  field. Ron Sato at third. Joe Pepitone at first.
• 1:39
  Johnny Callison in right. Jose Ortiz in center.
• 1:45
  J .C. Martin is the catcher. And Kenny Holtzman
• 1:48
  the pitcher. For the Dodgers, Maury Wills at
• 1:52
  short. Manny Mota in right. West Parker at first.
• 1:58
  Richie Allen in left. Bill Sudeikis catching.
• 2:02
  Virginia LeFevre makes the start tonight at second
• 2:05
  base. Steve Garvey at third. Bill Russell in
• 2:10
  center. And Sandy Vance to do the pitching. The
• 2:14
  umpires will be Harvey at the plate. Dale Gorman
• 2:17
  and Pellacudas on the bases. Both the Cubs and
• 2:20
  the Dodgers have identical records in the young
• 2:22
  season. Two and four. The Dodgers on the home
• 2:25
  stand have seven games left before they go on
• 2:27
  an extensive road trip. So they hope to get things
• 2:30
  going here at home with the Cubs, the Cardinals,
• 2:32
  and then the Astros over the weekend, Friday,
• 2:34
  Saturday, and Sunday. Tomorrow night, Milk Pappas
• 2:37
  will go against Bill Singer. And then the Dodgers
• 2:41
  get set up for the St. Louis series beginning
• 2:43
  on Wednesday. Now we're ready. Time to play ball.
• 2:45
  The Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs from Dodger
• 2:47
  Stadium. And now for the play -by -play, here's
• 2:50
  Vince Kelly. Ready? Thank you, Jerry. Hi, everybody,
• 2:52
  and a very pleasant good evening to you, wherever
• 2:54
  you may be. The Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs,
• 2:57
  trying to find out what it's all about. They
• 2:59
  both feel they had good ball clubs, and they
• 3:01
  both start off on a rocky beginning for 1971.
• 3:05
  The Dodgers have had some frustrating games,
• 3:07
  but the Cubs have had a couple of dillies. One
• 3:10
  in Houston they still have not recovered from,
• 3:13
  where they lost the game in the ninth inning
• 3:15
  on a balk and an error. Here's Don Kessinger,
• 3:18
  the switch hitting shortstop, and he takes low
• 3:20
  ball one, 1 -0. Sandy Vance and Bill Sudeikis,
• 3:24
  with Wes Parker and Jimmy LaFever, Maury Wills
• 3:27
  and Steve Garvey, Richie Allen, Bill Russell,
• 3:32
  and Manny Moda. Big chopper to LaFever who has
• 3:34
  to back up, gloves it at the chest, and throws
• 3:36
  him out. One away, and the batter, Glenn Becker.
• 3:48
  Glenn Becker hitting 269. Boy, if he ever was
• 3:52
  a company man or a team man, he would be the
• 3:55
  guy. What a valuable ball player he is. Right
• 3:58
  -hand hitter, Glenn Becker. Sandy Vance reading
• 4:02
  Bill Sudeikis. Sandy into the windup and the
• 4:05
  right -handed delivers low in the dirt, ball
• 4:06
  one, one and all. You might get some idea of
• 4:11
  Sandy Vance and how well he is doing tonight.
• 4:14
  by the use of one descriptive word on his pitches,
• 4:17
  high or low. If he stays low all night, he'll
• 4:21
  give the Cubs fits. There's a high fastball in
• 4:24
  the count ball, too, 2 and 0. If Vance keeps
• 4:27
  the ball down or on the knees on the hitters,
• 4:29
  he can be a very tough young pitcher. But if
• 4:32
  the ball starts to come up on him, then he's
• 4:34
  in trouble. 2 and 0 to count to Glenn Beckard.
• 4:37
  Billy Williams on deck. Sandy into the wind -up.
• 4:41
  Now the 2 -0 pitch on the way. Pass ball for
• 4:44
  a strike. 2 -1. Mance, of course, trying to hook
• 4:51
  on as the number four starter in the Dodger rotation.
• 4:55
  Trying to join Sutton Osteen and Singer. The
• 4:58
  2 -1 pitch to Becker. Very high. Ball three.
• 5:01
  3 -1. Now the 3 -1 pitch on the way. Fastball
• 5:16
  over, strike two. Full count to Glenn Becker.
• 5:27
  Billy Williams on deck. Becker ready and hits
• 5:34
  a ground ball slowly to Wills. Maury gloves it
• 5:36
  almost at the shoulders and throws him out two
• 5:39
  down. Billy Williams coming up. Williams started
• 5:51
  his year off in fine style. If you remember opening
• 5:54
  day in Chicago, he had a 10th inning home run
• 5:57
  to beat Bob Gibson 2 -1. Williams hitting 3 -33,
• 6:04
  and he has three home runs in the six games he
• 6:06
  has played. Left -hand hitter, Vance Reddy in
• 6:10
  delivers, high and inside, ball one, 1 -0. Wanna
• 6:20
  know the count of Billy? Bansu works quickly,
• 6:24
  comes right back to the plate, fastball and a
• 6:27
  high fly ball into shallow right. Lefebvre out
• 6:30
  and calling. Moda coming in, but it's Lefebvre.
• 6:35
  So it's a rare first inning for a Dodger pitcher
• 6:38
  outside of Osteen. He gets out of it one, two,
• 6:41
  three, and at the end of half an inning, the
• 6:43
  Cubs nothing and the Dodgers coming up. This
• 6:45
  is Sergeant Larry Gallup with a Crimestop message
• 6:47
  for you. The deaths of two Phoenix police officers
• 6:51
  are grim reminders of what can happen even in
• 6:53
  a fine city like Phoenix. This tragedy was followed
• 6:56
  with cries of outraged indignation, shock, and
• 6:59
  sorrow. How could this have been prevented? What
• 7:02
  can I do to help? Who's responsible? These were
• 7:06
  just a few of the questions that we all asked
• 7:08
  ourselves. The reality of crime on our streets
• 7:10
  is no longer one of statistics, local and national
• 7:13
  crime rate, or other impersonal crime -related
• 7:16
  information. We must keep the criminals out of
• 7:19
  our city and let them know that we will not tolerate
• 7:22
  crimes against our persons or property. Crime
• 7:25
  Stop at 2626 -151 is the safest, simplest method
• 7:30
  in which you can help wage the war on crime.
• 7:33
  If you see or hear suspicious activities or crimes
• 7:36
  in progress, call Crime Stop at 2626 -151. Remember,
• 7:43
  all you've got to lose is crime. Bottom of the
• 7:47
  first inning, the Cubs fail to score. The Dodgers
• 7:50
  will have Maury Wills, Manny Motta, and Wes Parker.
• 8:12
  Maury Wills, inning right -handed against Kenny
• 8:14
  Holtzman. Lost his first start of the year going
• 8:18
  four and two third innings against Houston Left
• 8:21
  -hander beat the Dodgers twice last year and
• 8:23
  he has a three -to -one record against them lifetime
• 8:26
  fastball high and outside ball one Postman's
• 8:29
  lifetime record against the Dodgers 12 victories
• 8:32
  and only four defeat. So he's rough He graduated
• 8:36
  from the University of Illinois Kenny is only
• 8:40
  25. He won't be 26 until November another pitch
• 8:43
  outside ball two setting the Cubs defensively
• 8:47
  Kenny Holtzman and JC Martin the infield at Joe
• 8:50
  Pepitone and Glenn Becker Don Kessinger and Ron
• 8:53
  Santo with Billy Williams Jose Ortiz and Johnny
• 8:56
  Callison in the outfield the pitch a strike and
• 8:59
  the count two and one We were asking Leo DeRosier
• 9:04
  about his great young catcher Randy Hundley who
• 9:07
  hurt his knee in spring training hurt the other
• 9:09
  knee because he had one injury a year ago Two
• 9:12
  and ease. The two -one pitch a strike. Two and
• 9:14
  two. Anyway, Leo said that Randy Hundley will
• 9:19
  catch Wednesday in San Diego. So we said, well,
• 9:23
  if it's that close, why doesn't he catch tomorrow?
• 9:26
  And as only Leo could say, Leo put it, I'd rather
• 9:29
  be 10 minutes late than 10 minutes early. In
• 9:31
  other words, there was no reason to rush Hundley,
• 9:34
  so give me extra day. Passball is swung on and
• 9:37
  missed, apparently. Dropped by catcher Martin,
• 9:40
  who tags out Will. And more he turns and rather
• 9:43
  unhappy about it walks away. He never broke towards
• 9:46
  first. One out. Here's Manny Moda. Kenny Holtzman,
• 9:56
  in his rookie year, led the Chicago Cubs in wins
• 10:00
  and strikeouts. That would be 1966. His last
• 10:05
  two years he won 17. The Cubs feel that he is
• 10:08
  now ready to win 20. He's 6 '275 pounder. His
• 10:14
  fastball is high, ball one. Last year he worked
• 10:23
  in 288 innings, which is a sign of a real star
• 10:27
  in the league to work that many. Curveball, but
• 10:30
  it's high. It's the first curve he's thrown,
• 10:31
  2 -0. He one hit the Giants last year, beat them.
• 10:40
  and a tidy little affair 15 to nothing and he's
• 10:44
  had a two hitter and a three hitter last year
• 10:47
  the next one to motor strike in the count two
• 10:49
  and one I did one time last year folks in the
• 11:01
  league was starting to consider Holtzman a serious
• 11:04
  threat to Don Drysdale's string of scoreless
• 11:06
  innings pitches swung on and missed right to
• 11:10
  Holtzman had 33 consecutive scoreless innings
• 11:13
  before the streak was snapped. Ken Holtzman.
• 11:20
  He's been in the leagues since 66 and he is just
• 11:22
  now really becoming a star. Left -hander checking
• 11:26
  J .C. Martin. Now Ken Ruddy in the 2 -2 pitch.
• 11:30
  Fastball fouled away. Kicks off the backstop
• 11:32
  screen into the crowd. Among his other credits
• 11:41
  for 1970, Holtzman tied a National League record
• 11:46
  that held and held solely by Johnny Padres of
• 11:49
  the Dodgers. He struck out the first five batters
• 11:52
  against the New York Mets that he faced. Here
• 11:57
  comes a 2 -2 pitch. Fastball poked on the ground
• 11:59
  to Pepitone. Joe to the bag easily for the second
• 12:02
  out. Here is Wes Parker. Wes Parker hitting right
• 12:26
  -handed against Ken Holtzman. No score, two down
• 12:31
  in the first inning. Sandy Vance and left -hander
• 12:33
  Holtzman. Breaking ball over for a strike on
• 12:37
  one. Tomorrow night should be a dandy, Milk Tappas,
• 12:41
  who is off his shutout from Houston, will start
• 12:43
  for Chicago. And for the Dodgers, Bill Singer.
• 12:50
  Here's the strike one pitch to Parker, outside
• 12:52
  and high, one ball, one strike. Holtzman has
• 13:02
  had a no -hitter. He no -hitted Atlanta. in August
• 13:07
  at Wrigley Field of 1969. He has all the signs
• 13:11
  and shown all the credentials of being a superstar.
• 13:13
  Line drive at Glenn Beckert, and Mort Parker
• 13:16
  has really hit in some tough luck in the first
• 13:18
  week of the season. He is at more line drives
• 13:21
  with people than any other Dodger. They're out
• 13:23
  of order and at the end of an inning, no score.
• 13:34
  People have no pride in their work. No spirit.
• 13:37
  Nobody really knows his job anymore. Now take
• 13:40
  this guy. Now George, I wanna ask you something.
• 13:42
  Yes, sir? Would you happen to have any idea why
• 13:44
  they call this gasoline Super 76? Well, sir,
• 13:47
  wouldn't you say a gasoline with five engine
• 13:49
  cleaners to keep your engine, carburetor, and
• 13:51
  anti -pollution valve clean is pretty super?
• 13:54
  Don't say a word, Marge. Not a word. Union Oil
• 14:00
  thinks a clean engine is pretty important. That's
• 14:03
  why you'll find five engine cleaners in Super
• 14:05
  76, Union Oil's premium gasoline. Because a cleaner
• 14:08
  engine runs better, and it helps reduce pollution.
• 14:12
  Well, there's a man who certainly has a spirit.
• 14:14
  No, he's just the exception that proves the rule.
• 14:16
  George, I could almost think you had trouble
• 14:19
  admitting when you're wrong. The spirit of 76
• 14:21
  lives at Union Oil. Second inning, no score in
• 14:26
  the ballgame. The Cubs and the Dodgers. Ron Santo,
• 14:29
  the captain of the Cubs, followed by Joe Pepitone,
• 14:32
  and then Johnny Callison. Santo gives every appearance
• 14:37
  of an outward -going, easy -going guy. He's very
• 14:41
  bright, enthusiastic, well -liked by the players
• 14:43
  in the league. But Santo has been bothered by
• 14:47
  stomach pains for quite some time, and he was
• 14:51
  examined today by the Dodgers team physician,
• 14:53
  Dr. Robert Woods. Santo... felt that he had an
• 14:58
  ulcer. Fortunately, the examination said no.
• 15:02
  The pitch is low, close enough for Harvey to
• 15:04
  start to bring up his right arm. One in all to
• 15:06
  count. However, Ron Santo was warned by Dr. Wood
• 15:09
  that they did detect an inflammation in the area
• 15:13
  where an ulcer could develop. Here's the 1 -0
• 15:16
  pitch. Santo takes low, ball two. Immediately,
• 15:19
  you say to yourself, how is he doing? Well, Santo
• 15:22
  has been to bat 18 times. He has four hits. That's
• 15:26
  a 222 average. The 2 -0 pitch to Ron Santo. Low
• 15:35
  again, ball three. However, that's all right
• 15:37
  as far as the Dodger pitching plans are concerned.
• 15:40
  They don't mind Vance walking somebody as long
• 15:43
  as he is low. As we mentioned earlier, the key
• 15:46
  to Sandy's performance usually is the use of
• 15:49
  the word high or low. Here's a 3 -0 fish on the
• 15:54
  way. That's high. Ball four, Stano's a boy. That'll
• 16:01
  bring up Joe Pepitone. Joe Pepitone hit 345 against
• 16:14
  the Dodgers last year. In fact, six cubs hit
• 16:17
  300 or more against the Dodgers. Pepitone is
• 16:21
  without a doubt one of the truly big characters
• 16:25
  in organized baseball today and one of the better
• 16:27
  life pitches high and away ball one one and oh
• 16:30
  last year he was chauffeured to and from Wrigley
• 16:36
  Field by a limousine with a television set in
• 16:39
  the back and he would usually drive alongside
• 16:42
  the visiting team bus on the way to the ballpark
• 16:44
  and kind of grandly wave his hand how do you
• 16:47
  do nice to have you in town Joe left -hand batter
• 16:55
  fans delivers and Pepitone takes low ball to
• 16:58
  2 -0 Two things have happened to Pepitone In
• 17:03
  fact one of a very serious nature, but in the
• 17:06
  result of the serious nature He no doubt is hearing
• 17:10
  it from the bench jockeys in the league Here's
• 17:14
  a 2 -0 pitch coming up to Pep And he hits a high
• 17:17
  pop line to shallow center. Wilson LeFevre out.
• 17:20
  Russell coming. It's LeFevre as he falls on his
• 17:23
  right side. Nice play by Frenchy. One away. In
• 17:32
  an article about Pepitone's expenses for the
• 17:35
  year. It was mentioned because Joe is in the
• 17:42
  hair business. He makes hair pieces. He wears
• 17:44
  hair pieces. It was mentioned in the article
• 17:47
  that Expense for hair treatment a hundred and
• 17:51
  fifty dollars a month And you can just imagine
• 17:54
  the bench jockeys in the league letting them
• 17:56
  hear about that Here's Johnny Callison who is
• 17:59
  391 against the Dodgers last year pass ball for
• 18:03
  a strike However, anything is a come -down from
• 18:07
  Nate Colbert here at Dodger Stadium Big Nate
• 18:10
  just punch holes in the ballpark Callison up
• 18:15
  there with one out. Santo at first held on by
• 18:18
  Wes Parker. Vance at the belt, a backward glance
• 18:21
  at Santo, and Callison a half swing and a popper
• 18:24
  up along first base foul. 0 and 2. It has been
• 18:31
  a quiet year so far for the Lions. He's standing
• 18:34
  in the dugout right now, hands behind his back,
• 18:37
  pacing up and down, but he has matured like rare
• 18:40
  wine, has Leo. We asked him if he had been kicked
• 18:43
  out of a game so far this year, the answer was
• 18:45
  no. We asked him if he had been warned about
• 18:48
  the fact he would be kicked out of a game this
• 18:50
  year, and the answer is no. But he was almost
• 18:53
  kicked out of an exhibition game. The strike
• 18:56
  two pitch is a ground ball hit slowly to Wills.
• 18:58
  He goes back till a fever, that's all. The throw
• 19:01
  to first not nearly in time. So the fourth place
• 19:04
  takes four. Two down. During an exhibition game
• 19:10
  in Tempe, Arizona this spring, Leo disagreed
• 19:14
  rather violently with an American League umpire.
• 19:18
  And the word is that the American League umpire
• 19:20
  kicked him out of the game. And Leo said, wait
• 19:22
  a minute. You mean to tell me you're going to
• 19:24
  kick me out of an exhibition game and deprive
• 19:26
  me of a chance of looking at my young ballplayer
• 19:29
  and you, an American League umpire? No way. He
• 19:32
  said, what I'll do is I'll go over in the far
• 19:34
  corner of the dugout and sit quietly. And that's
• 19:36
  just what he did. So he was kicked out but he
• 19:38
  didn't go and it didn't count. So the lion is
• 19:42
  still untouched, unmarred, and unblemished by
• 19:44
  1971. A very good spirit. Here is Jose Ortiz.
• 19:50
  He sat in the shadow in Chicago last year of
• 19:53
  their center fielder Ken Berry, who is now of
• 19:55
  course with the Angels. Ortiz takes low, ball
• 19:58
  one, one and all. Ortiz. is 8 -4 -18, including
• 20:06
  a double and an RBI. He has been timed going
• 20:12
  from home plate to first base in 3 -9, 3 .9 seconds.
• 20:18
  The pitch to Ortiz, ground ball down to Wills.
• 20:20
  He goes a short way to Lefevre, and that'll do
• 20:22
  it. No runs, no hits, a man left. At the end
• 20:25
  of an inning and a half, no score. Schlitz, Milwaukee,
• 20:29
  and the world. By 19, I first put out the sea.
• 20:38
  By 19, I'd sailed around the world. And now?
• 20:42
  Well, let's just say I've seen and done a lot.
• 20:45
  Enough for a lifetime? I doubt it. But there's
• 20:52
  always one more port ahead, so I keep going.
• 21:00
  I figure you only get one chance at life. Below
• 21:02
  it? Might as well quit. Oh, someday I'll go home.
• 21:07
  But right now I'll take home where I find it.
• 21:10
  And I find it. Why, I can order a Schlitz in
• 21:13
  seven different languages. And if that doesn't
• 21:16
  make you feel at home, I don't know what does.
• 21:19
  It seems that Schlitz is always one quarter ahead
• 21:21
  of me. Which is okay by me. Why settle for less?
• 21:26
  When you're out of Schlitz, you're out of beer.
• 21:35
  To the bottom of the second inning, no score
• 21:37
  in the ball game, Richie Allen, Bill Sudeikis,
• 21:40
  and Jimmy LaFever in that order. And Kenny Holtzman
• 21:43
  just about ready to go to work. Here looking
• 21:49
  out at the Chicago Bullpen brings back memories
• 21:52
  of just a few years ago through the mainstays
• 21:55
  of the Chicago Bullpen, Phil Regan, and also
• 21:59
  Bob Miller. Remember Bob with the Dodgers went
• 22:01
  over to the American League to Minnesota. but
• 22:04
  he has come back to the National League and with
• 22:05
  the Cubs. Allen takes what looked like a change
• 22:08
  turned over, a screwball for a strike, 0 -1.
• 22:13
  Ritchie has two hits, one of them was just a
• 22:15
  little nubber, the other a line drive double.
• 22:20
  0 -1 the count to Ritchie Allen. Oseman delivers,
• 22:23
  curve ball grounded down to third, speared there
• 22:25
  by Chateau, who throws him out. One away. Bill
• 22:32
  Sudeikis coming up During spring training I think
• 22:43
  we told you about an interesting story that was
• 22:46
  written by Wally Wilson of the Santa Monica Outlook
• 22:48
  About Duke Sims and his idea of hitting it was
• 22:52
  called breathless hitting well Sims and Sudeikis
• 22:56
  are roommates And now Sudeikis is a breathless
• 22:58
  hitter. He takes a curveball low ball one. What
• 23:01
  does that mean? Well, he expels all the air that
• 23:05
  he can out of his lungs before swinging the bat.
• 23:10
  And Sudeikis and Simms both feel that it helps
• 23:13
  you to be more relaxed, looser, and a much better
• 23:16
  swing. The 1 -0 pitch outside ball two. Well,
• 23:20
  Simms is hitting 400. Sudeikis is hitting 308.
• 23:25
  And when you come to Dodger Stadium, there'll
• 23:27
  be some hot air around home plate as well as
• 23:29
  up here in the booth. As long as Tim's a sedacist
• 23:32
  playing. Two hole pitch. Fastball. Head on the
• 23:36
  ground is short. Kessinger gloves it at the belt.
• 23:38
  In the dirt, the pep -a -ton and pep comes up
• 23:40
  with it. Good play by Joe. Two down. Here's Jimmy
• 23:48
  Lafeeva. I can't tell you what a great young
• 23:56
  man Jimmy LaFever is and what an asset he is
• 23:59
  to the ball club. And it was typical of LaFever
• 24:02
  the other day. Bill Russell made an incredible
• 24:05
  start of a double play the other night in a ball
• 24:07
  game the Dodgers won. Here's a pitch to Jimmy.
• 24:10
  Fast ball, low ball, one. And Russell came off
• 24:13
  the field and as Bill himself said later, he
• 24:15
  was kind of in a state of shock. And the first
• 24:18
  guy to greet him, to throw his arms around him
• 24:20
  and congratulate him on great play, is Jimmy
• 24:22
  LaFever. The boy who might lose his regular job
• 24:25
  to Bill Russell, but he's that kind of a guy.
• 24:28
  The 1 -0 pitch, high chopper to the left of short,
• 24:31
  speared there nicely by Kessinger, throws him
• 24:33
  out, and the Dodgers are gone the second inning.
• 24:36
  So at the end of two well -played innings, the
• 24:38
  Cubs nothing, the Dodgers nothing. You seldom
• 24:41
  hear Farmer John mention a fastball. Instead,
• 24:44
  he uses the expression, smokes one over you.
• 24:46
  I guess it's because smoke is so all -important
• 24:48
  in Farmer John's bacon business. In fact, it's
• 24:51
  what makes the flavor of Farmer John Bacon so
• 24:54
  delectably different. Not just any smoke either,
• 24:56
  but the smoke from native western wood. It's
• 24:59
  the old -time western way of smoking, and it
• 25:01
  gives every lean, meaty strip of Farmer John
• 25:04
  Bacon the genuine flavor of the West. Of course,
• 25:06
  flavor isn't all that distinguishes Farmer John
• 25:09
  Bacon. It's made from the finest eastern corn
• 25:12
  -fed pork. And to be sure his bacon is strictly
• 25:15
  fresh, Farmer John brings the porkers out here
• 25:18
  live. Then the meat's U .S. inspected and dressed
• 25:21
  fresh right here in the West. First chance you
• 25:23
  get, enjoy Farmer John Bacon, fried up so crisp
• 25:26
  it crackles. Believe me, you'll love it. Farmer
• 25:29
  John Bacon, gold medal winner at the California
• 25:32
  State Fair. It's the Eastern most in quality
• 25:34
  and the Western most in flavor. Don't forget
• 25:40
  tomorrow night, the concluding game of the series,
• 25:42
  the Dodgers and the Cubs, Milt Pappas and Bill
• 25:44
  Singer. Then the St. Louis Cardinals will come
• 25:46
  in, headlined by Orlando Cepeda, the only man
• 25:49
  in the league to hit eight home runs against
• 25:51
  the Dodgers last year. Cepeda did it. And along
• 25:55
  with Orlando, of course, will be Lou Brock and
• 25:57
  Ted Sizemore, who is now playing shortstop for
• 25:59
  St. Louis. They'll be in Wednesday and Thursday
• 26:02
  night. And then next weekend, the Houston Astros,
• 26:05
  Friday night, team night. saturday night ladies
• 26:07
  night seven o 'clock game and sunday afternoon
• 26:10
  autograph day and senior citizens day so make
• 26:12
  your plans and come on enjoy the fun we'll see
• 26:15
  you at dodger stadium we hope sometime during
• 26:17
  this week let's go to the third no score and
• 26:20
  for more play here's jerry doggers all right
• 26:21
  benny and catcher jc martin coming on martin
• 26:25
  was with san diego the white sox and with the
• 26:27
  mets before going to the cubs last year the pitch
• 26:30
  comes in low and it's one ball no strikes veteran
• 26:33
  catcher He's been around quite a while. He broke
• 26:38
  into the Major Leagues in 1959 with the White
• 26:40
  Sox. Now the windup in the 1 -0 pitch. Fastball
• 26:45
  a little low. Ball two. Two balls and no strikes.
• 26:48
  He was acquired by the Cubs just before the start
• 26:51
  of the 1970 season. Served as the backup catcher
• 26:57
  behind Randy Hundley. Now the 2 -0 pitch on the
• 27:01
  way. Strike on a fastball. 2 -1. Martin played
• 27:08
  in 40 games for Chicago last year. 2 -1 pitch.
• 27:17
  Taking low again, ball free. The Cubs have had
• 27:19
  one baserunner, Sandoval, who walked in the second.
• 27:22
  The Dodgers have not had a baserunner against
• 27:24
  Kenny Holtzman. First game of the two -game series.
• 27:30
  Milt Papas, Bill Singer, tomorrow night. Sandy
• 27:33
  Vance working here tonight. Now the wind up in
• 27:36
  the 3 -1 pitch on the way. Too low, he walked
• 27:39
  him. So Vance twice has walked the leadoff batter.
• 27:43
  And that'll bring to bat Kenny Holtzman the pitcher.
• 27:50
  Ken Holtzman coming on. Ken bats from the right
• 27:58
  side. He throws left. And we'll see if Leo puts
• 28:02
  the butt on for Holtzman. And now looks at third
• 28:04
  base coach Peanut Lowry. And Joe Amalfatano is
• 28:07
  coaching at first base. So two local lads in
• 28:10
  the coaching lines for Leo. The pitch to Holtzman,
• 28:15
  butted in the air. First base wave. Barker has
• 28:17
  it. And no play back to first base. So Holtzman
• 28:20
  pops up the butt. Well away, holding it first
• 28:24
  is Martin. And the batter will be Don Kessinger.
• 28:31
  Kessinger coming up. Switch hitter batting from
• 28:35
  the left side against Vance. The Dodgers and
• 28:40
  the Cubs were all even last year. 3 -3 here,
• 28:43
  3 -3 in Chicago. Kessinger into the batter's
• 28:49
  box. All -star shortstop for the last several
• 28:52
  years. Don out of Mississippi. Pretty good basketball
• 28:58
  player there. Takes outside for the ball. One
• 29:00
  ball and no strikes. He was the National Leagues
• 29:03
  All -Star shortstop for the third straight year
• 29:06
  and was named in the Sporting News All -Star
• 29:08
  team and won a Golden Glove as the best defensive
• 29:11
  player in the league at the shortstop for the
• 29:13
  second straight year. And he hit 266. One ball,
• 29:17
  no strikes. Pitch on the way. Strike on the inside
• 29:20
  corner, knee high. And they want Vance to keep
• 29:23
  that ball down and he's doing it quite well tonight.
• 29:27
  Kessinger led the league in assists and the second
• 29:29
  in total chances in double plays. He led the
• 29:34
  team in triples and finished second to Willie
• 29:36
  Davis with 14. Powell allowed a play upstairs
• 29:42
  to the left and it's a ball and two strikes to
• 29:45
  Don Kessinger. He was a standout baseball and
• 29:52
  basketball player at the University of Mississippi.
• 29:55
  He was all -conference in both sports. Don is
• 30:01
  6 '1", weighs 175 pounds. One ball, two strikes,
• 30:06
  one out. On it, first Martin. Vance now checks,
• 30:10
  runner going, pitch on the waste one on the missed
• 30:12
  throw down by Sudeikis. Too high, and he's been
• 30:14
  safe. So Kessinger strikes out, and with the
• 30:18
  runner Martin going, he beats the throw. Well,
• 30:21
  Wills had to go to the second base side of the
• 30:22
  bag to handle it. Here's Becord coming on a little
• 30:26
  pause for station identification. This is the
• 30:28
  Los Angeles Dodgers radio network Glenn Becord
• 30:42
  at bat now grounded out his first time up Becord
• 30:46
  grounded a will Martin is on second now advanced
• 30:49
  check pitch on the way. Fly ball to right field.
• 30:52
  Manny Mota coming fast for it. Long way to go.
• 30:54
  Can't get it. Drops in for a base hit. The run
• 30:57
  is in. And the cut lead one to nothing. As Becker
• 31:01
  looks to fly ball to the shallow right field.
• 31:04
  Mota raced as far as he could. Skidded. Cut it
• 31:08
  on the short hop. And Martin scores the run.
• 31:12
  That brings up Willie Williams who popped up
• 31:14
  his first time at bat. So Becker gets the first
• 31:17
  hit of the game and it's good for a run. So the
• 31:20
  walk by Martin, the steal, set up the run, and
• 31:23
  Decker kites him in. Here's Williams at bat.
• 31:29
  He hits .333 on the air, and he has three home
• 31:34
  runs and six runs batted in. Takes the curve
• 31:36
  ball high, one ball, no strike. With Bill Williams
• 31:39
  off to a good start, he has seven hits. He had
• 31:42
  21 trips to the plate. Chicago leading one to
• 31:49
  nothing as we play on the top of the third inning.
• 31:52
  Sandy Vance checks, delivers to Williams. Half
• 31:55
  swing, and it's in there. Kick the bat. One ball,
• 31:57
  one strike. Williams tried to check his swing,
• 32:00
  had the ball at the bat. Billy had the greatest
• 32:04
  year of his career last year. He hit 322, had
• 32:11
  42 home runs, and 129 runs batted in. change
• 32:16
  up low blocked by Sudeikis and no play. Two and
• 32:19
  one to count. Williams is very close in the National
• 32:24
  League voting for most valuable player won by
• 32:27
  Johnny Bench. He did a lot of things well last
• 32:31
  year. He had a great season. Two and one. Now
• 32:36
  the pitch. High and away. Ball free. Three and
• 32:39
  one. He led the league in runs scored total bases
• 32:43
  tied for the most tips. and a second in the league
• 32:45
  and runs batted in on home runs. His batting
• 32:50
  average is fourth in the league. Three and one
• 32:54
  count. Pitch time is in for strike three and
• 32:58
  two. So with two out, Becker at first base ready
• 33:01
  to go on the next pitch. Williams now has 294
• 33:14
  lifetime home runs. Now the 3 -2 pitch. Swung
• 33:20
  on a fly ball into shallow center. That's going
• 33:22
  to be trouble. Will's going out, can't get it,
• 33:24
  drops in for a base hit. Will quickly brings
• 33:26
  it back in, holding a third base with Beckham
• 33:28
  on a brute single by Williams. So a couple little
• 33:31
  fly balls have fallen in the outfield for Chicago,
• 33:34
  and the Cubs now have runners on at first and
• 33:36
  third, and Ron Sando coming up. Williams sounded
• 33:40
  like he broke his fan on that one. hit it off
• 33:42
  the end of the stick and blew it just over Will's
• 33:44
  head in the center field. Sando coming up. He
• 33:49
  walked his first time up. So the walk in the
• 33:52
  inning to open it up to Martin has put Sandy
• 33:55
  Vance in some trouble. The walk has been cashed
• 33:58
  in for a run. And now the Cubs have runners at
• 34:01
  first and third with two outs. Sando up. He has
• 34:06
  just one RBI so far on the year. Ron hit 267
• 34:10
  last year and had 26 home runs. Vance Reddy delivers.
• 34:15
  Fast ball high. One ball and no strikes. Saddle
• 34:19
  came to the Cubs first in 1960. Four times in
• 34:26
  his career, he has driven over 100 runs. 114
• 34:30
  last year and 123 the year before. 1 -0 to count
• 34:34
  to number 10, the Cubs captain Ron Santo. Fastball
• 34:38
  inside, ball 2, and it's 2 balls and no strikes.
• 34:53
  Santo leading 2 -0. Runners on at first and third
• 34:56
  for Chicago. We're in the third inning. Fans
• 34:58
  ready. The look and the pitch. Ground ball toward
• 35:01
  second. The Fever has it, plays it to Wills,
• 35:03
  but the force there in the inning is over. So
• 35:08
  they're all out in the third, one run, two hits,
• 35:11
  and two left. The score at the end of two of
• 35:13
  the happenings, Cubs won, Dodgers nothing. Hello,

  She is specially trained to have or find the

• 36:19
  the Dodgers first lady, Mrs. Kay O'Malley. Celebrating
• 36:23
  a happy birthday today and hoping that the Dodgers
• 36:25
  can give her a happy birthday present of victory
• 36:27
  over the Cubs. Here's Steve Garvey coming on.
• 36:31
  So from all of us, a happy birthday also. Steve
• 36:37
  Garvey is batting 2 -11 facing Kenny Holtzman.
• 36:47
  with checking signs and catch your mark into
• 36:50
  the windup for the pitch on the way. Garvey takes
• 36:52
  the curve low for the ball. The Dodgers have
• 36:54
  a team batting average of 260. But have managed
• 37:02
  to win just two and lose four, rather than giving
• 37:05
  up quite a few runs. The swing is a high fly
• 37:09
  foul off to the right out of play. The Dodgers
• 37:12
  have scored 24 runs. They have allowed 24 runs.
• 37:15
  But they have 52 hits to the opposition's 35.
• 37:21
  The Cubs, meanwhile, have a team batting average
• 37:23
  of only 221. They have scored only 19 runs in
• 37:29
  16. Garvey takes low ball 2 and it's 2 and 1.
• 37:39
  2 -1 count holds from checking Garvey waiting.
• 37:44
  Look at the high fly ball to deep right field.
• 37:47
  Callison going way back for this one. Going,
• 37:49
  going. It's gone. Home run. Steve Garvey is pretty
• 38:09
  strong to get that ball to right field. Right
• 38:11
  hand batter. It hit between the 3 .50 and 3 .70
• 38:14
  mark into the bleachers and the Dodgers have
• 38:16
  caught up 1 -1 on Garvey's second home run of
• 38:19
  the year. All spring Garvey was going to right
• 38:22
  field with good power and then he was pulled
• 38:23
  on occasion. And now he opens up this ballgame
• 38:27
  for the Dodgers with a home run in the right
• 38:28
  field seat. He's by what turned out to be a real
• 38:32
  strong one for the Dodgers. Bill Russell waiting.
• 38:38
  Ball one count to pitch to Bill. Popped foul
• 38:40
  out of play on the count of 1 -1. Russell batting
• 38:42
  in the eighth spot. For the home run with Steve
• 38:45
  Garvey, we're pleased to present two books of
• 38:47
  union a lot of strips to Steve and two books
• 38:50
  to the San Fernando Valley Association for Retarded
• 38:53
  Children in Sepulveda. One -on -one the count
• 38:57
  to Bill Russell. Holtzman delivers. Up high with
• 39:01
  a breaking ball, two and one. Holtzman's record
• 39:05
  on the air, 0 -1 -1. He worked four and two -thirds
• 39:08
  innings in his other appearance in the last six
• 39:10
  runs. This is the first home run that he has
• 39:14
  allowed to be here. The swing of the drive, the
• 39:16
  deep center field, fading back a little bit as
• 39:18
  Orte's turn makes the catch for the off. So Rosalaba
• 39:21
  on a line drive at the center, and that'll bring
• 39:23
  up Sandy Vance. Sandy Vance coming up now. Advance
• 39:46
  the batter. Holtzman checking. Advance the right
• 39:53
  -hander all the way. A swing and a miss and a
• 39:56
  fastball. Strike one. Steve Garveau, home run,
• 40:01
  opening up the last half of the third and he
• 40:02
  hit it to right field. Now the pitch on the way
• 40:07
  to advance. Home run and a miss. Strike two,
• 40:09
  oh and two. Garveau has five hits on the year.
• 40:11
  Two of them doubles and two home runs, but he
• 40:14
  has only one single so far. Here's the 2 -0 -0
• 40:19
  -2 pitch, and Vance takes high on the way, ball
• 40:21
  one, one and two. The Dodgers might come up with
• 40:25
  some pretty good power. And fellows like Garvey,
• 40:29
  of course, Grabarca with mid -18 last year, Sudeikis,
• 40:33
  and Richie Allen pitch high for ball two -two.
• 40:39
  That's the first Dodger team home run. The Cubs
• 40:41
  have hit only four home runs. And they have long
• 40:45
  been noted as one of the top home run hitting
• 40:46
  teams in the league. Here's the 2 -2 pitch to
• 40:49
  Vance. Brown ball to shortstop. Kessinger has
• 40:53
  it. Here's his throw. It's in time. 2 -0. Vance
• 40:57
  rolls to short. Maury Wills coming up. Maury
• 40:59
  struck out his first time at bat. Maury Wills.
• 41:09
  Will's hitting 2 -17. On the scoreboard today,
• 41:23
  Pittsburgh beats Philadelphia 4 -3. Cincinnati
• 41:27
  over Atlanta 7 -3. McLaughlin the winner and
• 41:30
  Reed the loser. Pitch to Will's a ball. One ball,
• 41:33
  no strikes. And St. Louis is leading Houston
• 41:37
  by a score of 5 -4. in the ninth inning in Houston.
• 41:42
  Rather than say it was a bunt, first base wave,
• 41:44
  Pepitone comes to field it, first pace is open,
• 41:46
  and Wills beats it out, no close. So Wills putted,
• 41:53
  and Pepitone had to come off the bag to play
• 41:55
  it, but that time Holton was late getting over
• 41:57
  there, and Wills beats out the bunt for a base
• 41:59
  pass. That'll bring up Manny Moda, he's grounded
• 42:03
  out to Pepitone his first time up. So the Reds
• 42:09
  have won their first game of the year. They now
• 42:10
  stand 1 -4. And San Francisco beats San Diego
• 42:20
  5 -0. And the Giants have moved into the top
• 42:24
  spot now. Tied ahead of Atlanta. Moda takes low
• 42:31
  and inside. Ball in. Atlanta losing tonight.
• 42:34
  Now it's 4 -2. The Giants are 5 -2. Houston five
• 42:38
  and two and losing tonight. San Diego three and
• 42:42
  four and the Dodgers two and four and the Reds
• 42:43
  are one and four. One ball, no strike. Molder
• 42:49
  waiting, Will going. Ground ball to our second.
• 42:52
  Here's the play to first and the inning is over.
• 42:55
  The Molder grounds out. The Dodgers go down with
• 42:57
  one run on two hits and leave one on the score
• 43:00
  at the end of three. Dodgers one and the Cubs
• 43:03
  have one. Super 76, sir? Yeah, please. You know
• 43:11
  the trouble today, Marge. People have no pride
• 43:14
  in their work. No spirit. Nobody really knows
• 43:16
  his job anymore. Now take this guy. No, don't
• 43:19
  worry. I want to ask you something. Yes, sir?
• 43:21
  Would you happen to have any idea why they call
• 43:23
  this gasoline Super 76? Well, sir, wouldn't you
• 43:26
  say a gasoline with five engine cleaners to keep
• 43:28
  your engine, carburetor, and anti -pollution
• 43:30
  valve clean is pretty super? Don't say a word,
• 43:33
  Marge. Not a word. Union Oil thinks a clean engine
• 43:39
  is pretty important. That's why you'll find five
• 43:41
  engine cleaners in Super 76, Union Oil's premium
• 43:44
  gasoline. Because a cleaner engine runs better,
• 43:47
  and it helps reduce pollution. Well, there's
• 43:50
  a man who certainly has the spirit. No, he's
• 43:52
  just the exception that proves the rule. George,
• 43:54
  I could almost think you had trouble admitting
• 43:56
  when you're wrong. The spirit of 76 lives at
• 43:59
  Union Oil. Three to two, scoring twice in the
• 44:03
  eighth inning. Oakland over Milwaukee, five to
• 44:06
  nothing. Minnesota beat Kansas City 2 -0 and
• 44:09
  Boston over Washington 10 -7. So that's everything
• 44:12
  on the scoreboard. We're set to go into the fourth
• 44:14
  inning of the ballgame now. Cubs coming back
• 44:16
  to play here at Smith. All right, Gary, a run,
• 44:18
  two hits for each side. A difference in the ballgame.
• 44:21
  A couple of bloop singles to set over the run
• 44:23
  for the Cubs. And a line drive home run to the
• 44:26
  opposite field by Steve Garvey to get the Dodgers
• 44:28
  even. So here's Pepitone, Callison, and Ortiz
• 44:31
  in that order. Pepitone left -hand -mitting first
• 44:34
  baseman batting 3 -0 -4. Sandy Vans into the
• 44:40
  wind -up and the pitch to Pepitone, a change
• 44:42
  outside ball one. We told this story once this
• 44:44
  spring. We won't repeat it again, but it is a
• 44:47
  tip -off on what kind of a character Pepitone
• 44:49
  is. It came out after last season. The fact that
• 44:54
  he kept begging Leo de Rocher to let him steal
• 44:57
  a base. Please let me steal a base. Leo de Rocher
• 45:00
  said no. Here's the 1 -0 pitch. High ball 2,
• 45:04
  2 -0. And then one day, Leo Derochev blasted
• 45:07
  the sign to Joey Amalfitano, left Pepitone sealed.
• 45:10
  Well, the sign was for Amalfitano, the coach,
• 45:14
  to wink at Pepitone. So Joe took his lead, and
• 45:17
  Amalfitano winked, and Pepitone never moved.
• 45:20
  The 2 -0 pitch is popped in the air. Will's waiting,
• 45:24
  100 now, and makes the catch, one away. Anyway,
• 45:28
  just to conclude the story, Amalfitano winked,
• 45:31
  and Pepitone didn't move. So Leo gave the steel
• 45:35
  sign again and Amalfitana winked and Pepitone
• 45:39
  never moved and finally Leo got a little angry
• 45:42
  and flashed the sign again and for the third
• 45:44
  time Amalfitana winked and this time Pepitone
• 45:47
  blew him a kiss. That's Joe Pepitone. Here's
• 45:53
  Johnny Callison and lines have fouled into the
• 45:56
  lower deck in right field 0 and 1 to count. Callison
• 46:03
  hit into a force play in the second inning. Johnny
• 46:09
  has three home runs against the Dodgers last
• 46:12
  year. He bunts up along the third baseline. Garvey
• 46:15
  in a hurry and guns him out and oh what a dangerous
• 46:18
  play for Wes Parker. Parker had to actually go
• 46:23
  into the runner to handle a throw. and came within
• 46:26
  a whisker of one of those head -on collisions.
• 46:29
  That's a rare time you'll see Parker get in a
• 46:31
  jam like that. West normally is able to get to
• 46:35
  the bag and catch that throw in foul ground with
• 46:38
  his foot on the bag, but that time he almost
• 46:40
  went right head -on into Callison. So Parker
• 46:43
  and Callison are each fortunate that they escaped
• 46:46
  a serious collision that time, two down, and
• 46:49
  the batter is Jose Ortiz. Ortiz hit into a fourth
• 46:56
  play in the second inning. Change over, first
• 47:00
  right on one. Final score, the Cardinals beat
• 47:04
  Houston 5 -4, Steve Carlton over Wade Blasingame.
• 47:07
  Don't forget, the Cardinals will be in here Wednesday
• 47:09
  night. Change over, first right on one. Final
• 47:24
  score, the Cardinals beat Houston 5 -4, Steve
• 47:27
  Carlin over Wade Lashinge. Don't forget the Cardinals
• 47:29
  will be in here Wednesday night. Here's the strike
• 47:34
  one pitch to Ortiz. Breaking ball in the dirt,
• 47:36
  backhanded by Sudeikis in the count 1 -1. 1 -1,
• 47:43
  that's the count, that's the score. With two
• 47:45
  out in the fourth inning and the bases empty.
• 47:47
  Sandy Vance and Kenny Holtzman. Now the 1 -1
• 47:52
  pitch on the way. Breaking ball low, ball two,
• 47:55
  two and one. Ortiz, as we mentioned, is first
• 47:59
  trip very fast. You can run to first base in
• 48:05
  under four seconds. You fly, and he has been
• 48:08
  timed at three -nine. So he puts heat on the
• 48:11
  infield. Two -one pitch to Jose. Ground ball
• 48:14
  sharply to Wills. He's up with it, goes to first,
• 48:17
  and that's that. One of the incredible things
• 48:20
  about baseball, no matter how fast the man is,
• 48:23
  there's no way you can out -leg a ground ball
• 48:25
  that should add an infielder. So they've got
• 48:27
  an order in the fourth, and at the end of three
• 48:29
  and a half, a one -one tie. Flip. Milwaukee and
• 48:32
  the world. When you get caught in the eye of
• 48:45
  a nor 'easter, it can be a pretty hairy thing.
• 48:48
  Wings whip up to a hundred and thirty miles an
• 48:50
  hour and can crack open the hull of a ship like
• 48:52
  an egg. And the waves, the waves are the worst.
• 48:56
  They wash over the deck and can sweep everything
• 48:58
  overboard, but it can happen down, including
• 49:01
  you. But the worst goes on. If you happen to
• 49:04
  be caught topside, you will fall right, but survive
• 49:07
  it. So you put on your life jacket and hang on
• 49:10
  and sweat it out till the storm blows over. Then
• 49:14
  you celebrate with a slip. Listen, life's a one
• 49:18
  -time thing. Nobody gets a second chance. So
• 49:21
  you'll live it with all but gusto in your mouth,
• 49:23
  right down to the beer you drink. Why settle
• 49:26
  for less? When you're out of Schlitz, you're
• 49:29
  out of beer. Bottom of the fourth inning, a 1
• 49:38
  -1 tie. A reminder to our listeners, 19 or younger
• 49:41
  especially, don't forget Friday night is your
• 49:43
  night at Dodger Stadium, the first of two team
• 49:46
  nights this year. Team night tickets for only
• 49:49
  one dollar and you get a 250 reserve seat. You'll
• 49:52
  find team night booths in both sides of the stadium
• 49:54
  and if you have some adults with you they can
• 49:56
  purchase their 250 seats and sit right next to
• 49:58
  you. So make team night your date night at Dodger
• 50:01
  Stadium this Friday night. Team night tickets
• 50:04
  only one dollar. Curveball has hit the right
• 50:07
  center, but Ortiz is there to make the catch.
• 50:10
  So Parker goes out, one away. The Beeson Prize
• 50:12
  is given out. We'll also have Jerry Ray in the
• 50:14
  Blue Forest Friday night. So if the kids in the
• 50:20
  neighborhood are saying, hey, babe, what's happening?
• 50:23
  You tell them, team night at Dodger Stadium Friday
• 50:25
  night, right on, right here. Here's Richie Allen.
• 50:34
  Ritchie grounded a third in the second inning.
• 50:36
  Holtzman's fastball is fouled back in the count
• 50:38
  on one. 0 -1 to Ritchie. Bill Sudeikis on deck.
• 50:51
  Now there's strike two pitch on the way. A high
• 50:54
  fly ball into deep center field. Back for Ortiz.
• 50:57
  A way back. It's gone. Welcome to the club, Ritchie.
• 51:36
  and the Dodgers lead two to one, so they could
• 51:39
  save five, ball one. Allen hit a towering drive.
• 51:43
  It looked like a marble going out over the center
• 51:45
  field fence. He got a standing ovation from the
• 51:48
  crowd, and as he walked along the path to the
• 51:51
  Dodger dugout, you can tell he was thinking about
• 51:53
  it because ballplayers are very sensitive as
• 51:55
  to what to do to an ovation. And he finally decided
• 51:58
  he should acknowledge it, and he took his helmet
• 52:00
  off. And then he got a standing ovation in the
• 52:02
  dugout from the Dodgers, and Wes Parker pulled
• 52:04
  him into the crowd. and he indeed has now been
• 52:07
  welcomed officially to the ball club not that
• 52:10
  he wasn't a member anyway but he has proven his
• 52:13
  point so the Dodgers lead two to one and he shook
• 52:15
  them up oh did he hit that thing and actually
• 52:18
  he hit under the ball the two -oh pitch to Sudsy
• 52:22
  a one hopper banged at Kessinger Don stays with
• 52:25
  it to get him two out and they're hitting a few
• 52:27
  darts against left -hander Kenny Holtzman on
• 52:31
  the home run by Richie Allen two books of union
• 52:34
  all -autoscript to Richie and two books of the
• 52:36
  Pacific Lodge Boys Home Incorporated, 4900 Cerrania
• 52:40
  Avenue in Woodland Hill. Listen to the crowd
• 52:43
  talking. Boy, I tell you one thing, this ball
• 52:52
  club is going to have people talking. Whether
• 52:54
  they win or not, nobody knows that. But we were
• 52:56
  saying this earlier, as far as coming out and
• 52:59
  investing some money and having some fun, they
• 53:02
  are a particularly good investment this year.
• 53:05
  Awful. But Fever takes the strike on one. Two
• 53:10
  to one Dodgers in the fourth inning. Postman
• 53:12
  comes back. Curved ball and a beauty over strike
• 53:15
  two. Richie Allen has his 212 home runs in eight
• 53:21
  years plus. He starts this year with a lifetime
• 53:24
  batting average of 297. Now the strike two pitch
• 53:31
  on the way. Fast ball away. Ball one. One and
• 53:33
  two. A fellow who hit home runs that high, and
• 53:37
  you don't see them go out that far that high,
• 53:40
  but that was an old Ralph Keiner type home run.
• 53:43
  Because when you hit it that high, you figure
• 53:44
  it can't possibly go too far. The one -two curve
• 53:48
  is whacked down the line foul. If you know Dodger
• 53:53
  Stadium at all, you know in center field you
• 53:55
  have two flag poles. And it's 400 just at the
• 53:58
  curve on either side of the center fielder. Well
• 54:01
  the ball went out between the flag poles. Closer
• 54:04
  to the one in left center. With Ortiz up against
• 54:10
  the board watching it go out. Here's the one
• 54:13
  -two pitch to Jimmy LaFever. Fastball hit down
• 54:16
  to Kessinger. He's busy tonight. Don up with
• 54:18
  it to get him. And the Dodgers are gone, but
• 54:20
  not before they get on the board. On the towering
• 54:23
  home run by Allen. A run on a hit. And at the
• 54:25
  end of the four, Dodgers two, Cubs one. Farmer
• 54:29
  John says that every home should have an on -deck
• 54:32
  circle, like a spot in your refrigerator, for
• 54:34
  a package of his Farmer John wieners. That way,
• 54:37
  they're always handy when you want to whip up
• 54:39
  an easy, enjoyable meal. A delicious idea it
• 54:42
  is, too, since Farmer John wieners have a wondrous,
• 54:45
  wide -open space and Western flavor you can hardly
• 54:47
  believe. The secret is in the smoking. Farmer
• 54:50
  John smokes his wieners like he smokes his famous
• 54:53
  bacon, over real smoke from native Western wood.
• 54:56
  And Farmer John wieners are as hearty and wholesome
• 54:59
  as they are delicious because they're all meat
• 55:01
  and the best meat too. Be sure to pick up a package
• 55:04
  of Farmer John wieners in the delicatessen section
• 55:07
  of your market. And look, the Farmer John Dodger
• 55:10
  dogs in the meat department. They're the long,
• 55:12
  luscious 10 -inch wieners sold at the ballpark.
• 55:14
  Except for size, Farmer John wieners and Farmer
• 55:17
  John Dodger dogs are the same. Both won gold
• 55:20
  medals at the California State Fair, and both
• 55:22
  would fit nicely in that on -deck circle of your
• 55:25
  refrigerator. Through four innings, the Dodgers
• 55:30
  two runs, three hits, and no errors. The Cubs
• 55:32
  one run, two hits, and no errors. Sandy Vance
• 55:35
  and Kenny Hoffman. Sandy Vance has not done too
• 55:40
  much pitching for the Dodgers this spring. Vance
• 55:45
  had a brief stint. against the Angels. So the
• 55:54
  Dodger, of course, will have to watch him. He
• 55:56
  went five innings against the Angels in a Dodger
• 56:00
  Sunday victory against California. Ground ball
• 56:03
  to Parker. West to the bag for the out. One away
• 56:05
  as far as J .C. Martin is concerned. And in a
• 56:08
  moment, Kenny Holtzman coming up. So when Othello
• 56:12
  has not pitched too long in any one ballgame,
• 56:14
  you immediately check his... high point or the
• 56:17
  most innings and when he gets to that point you
• 56:20
  figure from then on he bears watching well his
• 56:23
  longest stint five and he's working his fifth
• 56:25
  inning right now however to look back at the
• 56:31
  box and your scorecard if you are keeping score
• 56:34
  you'll notice all the ground balls off the bats
• 56:36
  of the Cubs so so far Vance has been able to
• 56:40
  keep the ball down and he's leading two to one
• 56:43
  it's not quite as simple as that but It sure
• 56:46
  is an indication. Holtzman, a pretty good hitting
• 56:49
  pitcher, takes a breaking ball for a strike on
• 56:51
  one. Kenny, left -hand pitcher, right -hand batter.
• 56:58
  On deck, Don Kessinger. Vance comes back, fastball,
• 57:02
  over at the knees, strike two, 0 -2. Yeah, this
• 57:06
  fella could be a pitcher. Oh boy, you hear the
• 57:08
  experts, the pitching coaches, and the scouts
• 57:11
  talk about him. And everyone's really know. Strike
• 57:15
  two pitch on the way to Holtzman. Fastball in
• 57:17
  the dirt. Ball one. One and two. It's hard to
• 57:25
  keep the ball down. You hear somebody say, well,
• 57:27
  all Vance has to do is keep the ball down. First
• 57:30
  of all, not only that, but it's hard to keep
• 57:32
  it down. The breaking ball is low. Ball two.
• 57:34
  What happens is, as they pitch your tires...
• 57:38
  He no longer takes that good stride, no longer
• 57:41
  bends his back the same way, no longer releases
• 57:44
  late, and then the pitch starts to come up. The
• 57:48
  two two -pitch swung on and missed by three.
• 57:50
  And in the big league, when the pitch starts
• 57:53
  to come up, the pitcher usually goes out. If
• 57:57
  you were raised the same way I was, all you ever
• 57:59
  heard of when you were a kid about the high hard
• 58:01
  one? Well, the high hard one is all right if
• 58:05
  you have a a Bob Gibson fastball, or if you throw
• 58:08
  like Kovacs used to throw, or even a Mara shot,
• 58:11
  but there aren't too many around. And the ordinary
• 58:15
  human being type high fastball is going to be
• 58:17
  hit a mile. Here's Kessinger with two out. He's
• 58:22
  grounded out and struck out. Good ballplayers.
• 58:25
  Switch hitting shortstop, takes low ball one.
• 58:33
  Two runs, three hits for the Dodgers. Danny Ozark
• 58:36
  bringing up Bill Russell in center field just
• 58:38
  a dab Now moving them over a little left center
• 58:42
  and there's a ground ball hit to Lafever Frenchy
• 58:44
  has it and flips to Parker and there you have
• 58:46
  it again Vance keeps it down the Cubs hit ground
• 58:48
  ball and they go out in order and at the end
• 58:51
  of four and a half innings the Dodgers two and
• 58:53
  the Cubs one This is Joe McConnell for Flack

  side K -T -A -R -P -E He is where a man of his
• 1:00:34
  stature, it befits him to be there in the high
• 1:00:36
  rent district. He is seated in Chairman of the
• 1:00:40
  Board, Walker O'Malley's box and taking in the
• 1:00:42
  ball game. Where else would a banker sit but
• 1:00:46
  in the Chairman of the Board's box? Mr. Stengel,
• 1:00:49
  sir, we are happy to have you with us. Indeed.
• 1:00:54
  And I hope you'll lower your interest rates.
• 1:00:57
  Thank you. Two to one Dodgers. One and one, the
• 1:01:01
  count is Steve Garvey as we salute Casey. The
• 1:01:03
  left -handed man from Kansas. There's a line
• 1:01:05
  drive to left center. Ortiz over, makes the running
• 1:01:08
  catch for the out. So Jose Ortiz handles a line
• 1:01:12
  drive off the bat of Garvey. One away. That'll
• 1:01:16
  bring up Bill Russell at center field. Bill Russell
• 1:01:25
  hit the ball hard, but lined out to Ortiz in
• 1:01:28
  the third inning. Jose has handle three out there.
• 1:01:35
  Pulseman ready and delivers and the fastball
• 1:01:37
  foul back. Good pitch, he jammed him and Russell
• 1:01:39
  never did get a round on it. 4 -1. The lion arm
• 1:01:47
  folded at his chest, pacing up and down in the
• 1:01:50
  cup dugout. Submission number two on his back.
• 1:01:54
  Strike one pitch to Russell, off speed, long
• 1:01:57
  on and missed. Strike two. Kenny Holtzman, a
• 1:01:59
  17 -game winner in each of the last two years.
• 1:02:03
  The crowd reacting as Martin Crowe sailed over
• 1:02:05
  Holtzman's head. Oh, and to the count. The Cubs
• 1:02:11
  have Kenny Holtzman and J .C. Martin, the infield
• 1:02:14
  of Joel Pepitone and Glenn Becker, Don Kessinger
• 1:02:17
  and Ron Santo, the outfield of Billy Williams
• 1:02:20
  in left, Jose Ortiz in center, and Johnny Callison
• 1:02:23
  in right. Jim Gilliam coaching at first, Denny
• 1:02:26
  Ozark at third. Spike two pitch, pass ball away.
• 1:02:30
  Ball one, one and two. Holtzman into the windup
• 1:02:40
  and the one, two pitch. Breaking ball hit up
• 1:02:43
  along third base, charging saddle. Bare hand
• 1:02:45
  pick up, no throw. Russell's too fast for that
• 1:02:49
  play and gets a leg single. So one of the inequities
• 1:02:56
  of baseball Where you hit a line drive at somebody
• 1:03:00
  and then you nub one for a base hit and the ball
• 1:03:03
  players keep their Sanity as do the managers
• 1:03:05
  throughout the year by saying it all evens out
• 1:03:08
  And here is Sandy Vance Vance grounded is short
• 1:03:13
  in the third inning with the Cubs thinking he'll
• 1:03:15
  be bunting to stay out of the double play to
• 1:03:17
  get the speedy Russell in Scoring position and
• 1:03:20
  leave it up to will we'll see what Sandy does
• 1:03:23
  postman at the belt Vance bunting, but takes,
• 1:03:26
  and a pitch outside, and Russell has stolen seconds.
• 1:03:36
  Kenny Holtzman gesturing to Harvey, didn't he
• 1:03:38
  try to bunt? And Doug said, no sir, he pulled
• 1:03:40
  the bat back, he took it. Leo now gestures, didn't
• 1:03:43
  he bunt? And Gorman shakes his head, no, he pulled
• 1:03:46
  the bat back. And they count one ball and no
• 1:03:48
  strikes, and Bill Russell steals second. Russell
• 1:03:52
  led the club in stolen bases in the spring. That's
• 1:03:55
  his second steal of the year, two out of three.
• 1:04:00
  Now Vance up there and the Cubs with a runner
• 1:04:04
  at second have to come back. They pull Pepitone
• 1:04:07
  at the bag in the same percent of a third. The
• 1:04:10
  outfield's shallow and shaded to right. The 1
• 1:04:13
  -0 pitch to Vance taken for a strike. One and
• 1:04:18
  one. Vance right hand batter. Polkman at the
• 1:04:33
  belt. 1 -1 pitch. A fastball hit foul outside
• 1:04:36
  of first. He was late on it, but almost got away
• 1:04:38
  with it. It is just off the bag. Vance prior
• 1:04:46
  to tonight has had 37 at bats in the big leagues
• 1:04:51
  and seven hits. Two runs batted in. On the count
• 1:04:57
  one and two. Swing styles another fastballer
• 1:05:03
  first into the crowd, back of the club dugout.
• 1:05:06
  One ball and two strikes to count. Gonna be with
• 1:05:10
  us tomorrow night, I hope so. Bill Singer will
• 1:05:12
  try to find the strike zone and try to find a
• 1:05:15
  victory. Opposing him will be Milt Pappas, one
• 1:05:19
  of the control pitchers in the league, who had
• 1:05:22
  a shutout his last time out. Here's the one -two
• 1:05:25
  pitch to Vance, outside and high, ball two. Milt
• 1:05:29
  Pappas last year. on average two walks a game.
• 1:05:33
  He was number seven in the rankings in control.
• 1:05:37
  So we'll see him tomorrow night. And Bill Singer
• 1:05:39
  opposing him and we hope he can be with us. Here's
• 1:05:42
  a 2 -2 pitch. Fast ball. Popped in the air. Back
• 1:05:44
  at third. Sando in foul ground. Waiting now.
• 1:05:48
  Makes the cast of the hour. So the Dodgers accomplish
• 1:05:51
  what they had hoped. They got a man over second
• 1:05:53
  base. Stayed out of the double play and here's
• 1:05:55
  Will. Moore he struck out in the first inning
• 1:06:02
  and had a perfect bunch single in the third.
• 1:06:07
  He's one for two. Holtman leading Martin behind
• 1:06:24
  the plate. Outfield fanned out straight away.
• 1:06:26
  Ken delivers in a pitch very high, ball one.
• 1:06:34
  You never know how they did against each other,
• 1:06:39
  but you can always look back through the books
• 1:06:40
  and figure out how Wills did, let's say, against
• 1:06:43
  Cub Pitching last year, if nothing else. He hits
• 1:06:47
  a high foul off third, and Sando has a play.
• 1:06:51
  He's waiting and makes the catch for the out.
• 1:06:54
  For your information, Wills hits. 346 against
• 1:07:00
  Chicago last year. No runs ahead, a man left
• 1:07:02
  at second, and at the end the five. Dodgers two
• 1:07:05
  comes one. For friends to be good at anything,
• 1:07:08
  I mean really good, you usually find it takes
• 1:07:10
  two things. It takes training and spirit. And
• 1:07:13
  there's a fellow in your neighborhood who has
• 1:07:15
  the best of both. Your Union 76 certified service
• 1:07:18
  man. He's a real pro with real professional training.
• 1:07:21
  Because for each certified service fight he wears
• 1:07:24
  on his arm... He's had special training at Union
• 1:07:26
  Certified Service Training School. After six
• 1:07:29
  weeks of concentrated specialized study for each
• 1:07:32
  stripe he wears. And that means when you take
• 1:07:34
  your car to him, he's going to fix it right.
• 1:07:36
  Look for the stripes he wears. Brakes, wheel
• 1:07:39
  alignment, tune -ups, air conditioning. If he's
• 1:07:42
  wearing the stripe, you know he's a pro. And
• 1:07:44
  he has great spirit, too. He's proud of the job
• 1:07:46
  he can do, and you can trust him to do it right.
• 1:07:49
  Because that's what Union Certified Service is
• 1:07:51
  all about. So the next time your car needs servicing,
• 1:07:55
  take it to your Union 76 certified serviceman.
• 1:07:58
  You'll like his spirit. The spirit of 76 lives
• 1:08:01
  at Union Oil. Don't forget, with this homestand
• 1:08:11
  coming up, the Cubs tomorrow night, then the
• 1:08:13
  Cardinals and the Astros. And if you'd like to
• 1:08:16
  go to the ball game in a group, well the best
• 1:08:18
  way to do that then is contact group sales. Care
• 1:08:21
  of the Dodgers, Box 100, Los Angeles 90051. That's
• 1:08:26
  always a good way to go with a group from your
• 1:08:27
  church, your office, neighborhood. Whatever,
• 1:08:32
  we sure hope you'll make Dodger Stadium a place
• 1:08:33
  to have some fun. And we think the ball club
• 1:08:35
  is here to provide the fun. So come on out. Open
• 1:08:40
  for business tomorrow night and every night this
• 1:08:42
  week. through Sunday. Then the Dodgers will go
• 1:08:45
  out on the road and they will first stop in San
• 1:08:47
  Diego and see if that machine has cooled off
• 1:08:50
  a little bit. While we are away, you might want
• 1:08:54
  to line up the month of May because the Dodgers
• 1:08:56
  will be home for quite a bit. And in May, you
• 1:09:01
  will see the Cincinnati Reds, the Pittsburgh
• 1:09:03
  Pirates, the Atlanta Braves, the San Francisco
• 1:09:05
  Giants. In other words, May is going to be something.
• 1:09:09
  So why not take a look at the schedule, pick
• 1:09:11
  out the ball games that you'd like to see, and
• 1:09:13
  drop it to line here at the ballpark. Or pick
• 1:09:16
  up your tickets at any convenience and dodge
• 1:09:18
  your ticket off it. Sixth inning, two to one
• 1:09:20
  dodges, and Glenn Becker takes low ball one,
• 1:09:23
  one and oh. Now the one oh pitch is the second
• 1:09:34
  baseman to strike in account one and one. Glenn
• 1:09:39
  Becker, rounded to short, got the fly ball single
• 1:09:42
  to right. One -one pitch on the way. Line drive
• 1:09:49
  to center, Russell coming up and makes the catch
• 1:09:51
  for the out. That line drive hung and he got
• 1:09:53
  it out of his chest. One away. Well, Becker can't
• 1:09:57
  consider himself too unlucky, however, since
• 1:09:59
  he got the base hit on the pop fly and the run
• 1:10:02
  batted in. Here's Billy Williams. Billy has popped
• 1:10:09
  up in single, he's one for two. Vance into the
• 1:10:20
  windup and delivers. Ground ball, the first base,
• 1:10:22
  Parker up with it, goes to the bag, two down.
• 1:10:27
  Well, Sandy Vance has two out in the sixth inning,
• 1:10:30
  leading two to one. And he was just down right
• 1:10:33
  on lucky in the third inning on the pop fly to
• 1:10:36
  sell, He would not have allowed a run. He's allowed
• 1:10:39
  two hits. Here's Santel, the third baseman, who
• 1:10:42
  walked and hit into a fourth play. Of course,
• 1:10:45
  on the other side of the coin about Vance, and
• 1:10:47
  any pitcher would do this, and certainly a manager
• 1:10:50
  would remind him of it, he got himself into trouble
• 1:10:53
  and allowed the only run in the third when he
• 1:10:55
  walked the number eight hitter in the lineup,
• 1:10:57
  Patrick Martin. Breaking ball for a strike on
• 1:11:01
  one. Just as I'm sure Don Sutton would be the
• 1:11:04
  first to tell you that all of his troubles yesterday
• 1:11:06
  began when he walked Tommy Dean, the one fellow
• 1:11:10
  who doesn't figure to hurt you really in the
• 1:11:11
  San Diego lineup, certainly not on all runs.
• 1:11:14
  And he walked him and then the sky fell in. Santa
• 1:11:17
  was fixed inside. He almost jammed himself that
• 1:11:20
  time. He was guessing on location and he was
• 1:11:22
  looking for a pitch away. One and one. Vance
• 1:11:34
  into the windup. Now the 1 -1 pitch on the way
• 1:11:37
  as the fastball hits foul off to the right of
• 1:11:40
  the plate and out of play. Head ball kangaroos
• 1:11:45
  all the way up into the second deck. I told you
• 1:11:48
  this was a lively ballpark in the count one and
• 1:11:50
  two. Two down, six innings, Dodgers two, Cubs
• 1:11:58
  one. Vance has a look that sheds these signs
• 1:12:02
  behind the plate. Now the 1 -2 pitch to the Cubs
• 1:12:06
  third baseman is set up along third base foul
• 1:12:08
  out of play. Good off -season pitch by Vance,
• 1:12:11
  and it's still 1 -2. There's a thoughtful note
• 1:12:17
  by the Chicago Cubs. You always hear, of course,
• 1:12:20
  about all of the fine ballplayers in the big
• 1:12:22
  leagues who have come from USC. But also UCLA
• 1:12:25
  is pretty well represented in the big leagues,
• 1:12:27
  and the Cubs have a brewing on their club. The
• 1:12:30
  1 -2 pitch to Santo filed away. Seated out in
• 1:12:33
  the Chicago bullpen is the young right -hander
• 1:12:36
  by the name of Bill Bonham, B -O -N -H -A -M.
• 1:12:40
  And knowing he was from UCLA, when they issued
• 1:12:44
  him his uniform, they gave him uniform number
• 1:12:48
  33. Now, if you're a college basketball follower
• 1:12:52
  or a UCLA fan, you know about 33. Change is over!
• 1:12:56
  Strike three called, and Santo can't believe
• 1:12:59
  it. And he's caught looking. In case you are
• 1:13:03
  not a basketball follower, they gave Bonham number
• 1:13:05
  33 because he's from UCLA. That was the number
• 1:13:09
  worn at UCLA and now worn in Milwaukee by Louis
• 1:13:12
  Alcindor. The Cubs are gone and ordered. At the
• 1:13:15
  end of five and a half, the Dodgers two, the
• 1:13:17
  Cubs one. was a seafaring man. He used to sail
• 1:13:35
  these seas like there was no tomorrow. And he
• 1:13:37
  drank his beer big. Even back then, it was short.
• 1:13:45
  Hear the philosophy about life, my old man. He'd
• 1:13:50
  say, you only live once, so you gotta make the
• 1:13:52
  most of it. Yeah, a lot of that stuck with me.
• 1:14:00
  You gotta live life. with all the rest over the
• 1:14:04
  rim. In everything, even the beer you drink.
• 1:14:08
  Some of the less, you're out of shape. When you're
• 1:14:11
  out of shit, you're out of beer. Bottom of the
• 1:14:21
  sixth inning, the Dodgers leading the Cubs 2
• 1:14:23
  -1. So far, a great performance by Sandy Vance
• 1:14:28
  and a magnificent change -up for the third call
• 1:14:31
  strike on Ron Santota in the top of the sixth.
• 1:14:33
  That was some fix. Here's Moda, grounded out
• 1:14:37
  twice. Manny is 0 for 2, as usual, going the
• 1:14:39
  other way. Grounded the second and the first.
• 1:14:42
  Holtzman breaking ball to site. Might be a little
• 1:14:47
  tip -off on Sandy Vance in looking at last year.
• 1:14:51
  He made four stars, four. against the San Francisco
• 1:14:56
  Giants. Strike one -fifth, fastball high and
• 1:15:00
  away, one and one. Well, on the message board,
• 1:15:05
  Dodger Stadium, welcome to one of the nicer human
• 1:15:08
  beings you'll ever meet. And he is the head coach
• 1:15:11
  of the Los Angeles Lakers, the pride of the cross,
• 1:15:14
  Holy Cross, Joe Mulaney. And this is good luck,
• 1:15:17
  Joe. He is something. The pitch high ball too,
• 1:15:19
  two and one. I don't know if he remembers We
• 1:15:23
  went body surfing and saw Rockaway many, many
• 1:15:27
  years ago. And he's a distinguished coach to
• 1:15:30
  the Lakers and whatever happened to the redhead.
• 1:15:34
  There's a 2 -1 pitch to Moda. Fastball slice
• 1:15:38
  to right field, but that's where Callison hangs
• 1:15:40
  out and John makes the catch. Wally. Wes Parker
• 1:15:47
  lined out to Glenn Beckert and lined out to Ortiz
• 1:15:51
  in center field. Parker, more than any other
• 1:15:57
  Dodgers, has really hit in tough luck. Most of
• 1:16:00
  the others have just not done too well. And meanwhile,
• 1:16:03
  while I'm saying that, he came into this game
• 1:16:04
  hitting 304, but he could be hitting close to
• 1:16:07
  500. Pitch outside, ball one. He has hit a bucket
• 1:16:12
  full of line drives that have been caught at
• 1:16:13
  people. He's 7 for 23. He could, really, he could
• 1:16:19
  be 12 for 23. Pitch over for a strike, one and
• 1:16:23
  one. On deck, Richie Allen. One out on the sixth,
• 1:16:31
  Dodgers two, Cubs one. Polkman and Vance, Lamar
• 1:16:35
  Knight, Singer, and Cabot. One -one -fifth. Line
• 1:16:39
  drive, base hit. So Parker finally hits it where
• 1:16:42
  they don't put a player. Single up the middle.
• 1:16:46
  And here's Richie Allen, and that'll take a month.
• 1:16:55
  Richie Allen does not, does not... consider himself
• 1:16:58
  a home run hitter. He did not consider himself
• 1:17:01
  the type of a hitter, let's say a Willie McCovey,
• 1:17:05
  or a Willie Mays, or a Henry Aaron. He figures
• 1:17:08
  he is more of a line drive type hitter. But as
• 1:17:10
  we said, he has averaged a lot with the pitchers.
• 1:17:16
  It might be one of the longest, hardest home
• 1:17:18
  runs we have ever seen. Here's a strike one pitch
• 1:17:25
  to Rich. A little high, one and one. In the old
• 1:17:28
  ballpark at Connie Mack Stadium at the base of
• 1:17:30
  the center field wall it was 447. Then there
• 1:17:33
  was quite a bit of real estate behind the fence.
• 1:17:35
  And the double deck stands ran out to a direct
• 1:17:38
  point in straightaway centers. And Allen had
• 1:17:41
  a line drive that went halfway up the second
• 1:17:43
  deck in straightaway centers. It was as if it
• 1:17:47
  was truly shot out of a gun. The 1 -1 fastball
• 1:17:50
  is popped in the air in the right field. Callison
• 1:17:52
  has time to get under it because it's so high.
• 1:17:55
  Makes the catch for the odds. Two down, and Bill
• 1:18:00
  Sudeikis to bat it. Shudsey twice has rounded
• 1:18:03
  a Kessinger. He has hit the ball hard, but Kessinger
• 1:18:06
  makes him look easy. The Dodgers are hoping that
• 1:18:22
  tonight they will celebrate an anniversary. One
• 1:18:26
  year ago, the Dodgers snapped their five -game
• 1:18:29
  losing streak. They won three straight and seven
• 1:18:32
  out of ten, and the club is hoping to get off
• 1:18:34
  on the right foot tonight. Fastball, first strike,
• 1:18:37
  going on. Of course, this is a very different
• 1:18:42
  year. Last year, the Reds could not be beaten.
• 1:18:47
  This year, they finally won their first game
• 1:18:50
  today. Strike one pitch to Sudeikis, breaking
• 1:18:54
  ball, one out and a miss, strike two. However,
• 1:18:58
  Cincinnati, by winning their first game, knocked
• 1:19:01
  off a hot Atlanta club. The Graves had won four
• 1:19:04
  out of five. Houston climbs in the first place
• 1:19:10
  in the giant right back of them. And boy, I tell
• 1:19:12
  you, the Houston ball club, look out, strike
• 1:19:14
  two pitch. In the dirt, bounces off to the right.
• 1:19:18
  Parker hesitates. Now goes Martin's flow. It's
• 1:19:20
  not in time. Fastball guards to Martin. And check
• 1:19:28
  me on the score. Houston lost. So that noise
• 1:19:31
  comes from moving day up north. The Giants won.
• 1:19:35
  And Atlanta and Houston lost. So the Giants have
• 1:19:37
  moved into first place. Excuse me in the Bay
• 1:19:39
  Area. The Cardinals. Won their ballgame. They're
• 1:19:47
  at the 500 mark and they'll be in here Wednesday
• 1:19:49
  night. 1 -2 pitch to Sudeikis. Check swing and
• 1:19:58
  Martin does a little umpiring and he loses this
• 1:20:01
  ball too. J .C. tags Sudeikis. World on the RV
• 1:20:05
  who pointed to Dale and Jerry Dale flashed no.
• 1:20:08
  He didn't swing and it counted two and two. And
• 1:20:13
  I'm sure Doug Harvey leans over and says, J .C.,
• 1:20:15
  we are indebted to you for all of your help and
• 1:20:18
  consideration and interest, but we'll call them.
• 1:20:25
  Two two -fifths to Sudeikis. In five, all three
• 1:20:28
  to Bill. Four count to Bill Sudeikis. Parker
• 1:20:38
  at second with two outs. The Dodgers had Russell
• 1:20:40
  at second with two outs, but he couldn't get
• 1:20:42
  them over in the fifth inning. Three -two pitch
• 1:20:53
  to Bill. Found away, and he got that little on
• 1:20:56
  the foot. Still three and two. Three and two,
• 1:21:17
  the count to Bill Sudeikis. Parker, second. Holtzman
• 1:21:21
  -Ruddy with two out, and work five. All four,
• 1:21:24
  and that brings up Jimmy LaFeder. Jimmy LaFeder,
• 1:21:38
  twice, rounded his shortstop. He's 0 for 2. So
• 1:21:50
  Jenny gets a start tonight, get a right -handed
• 1:21:52
  bat in there and rest Willie Davis against the
• 1:21:54
  left -handers. Fastball is hit down the right
• 1:21:56
  -field line. Taliesin is not going to get it.
• 1:21:59
  It's in the corner and bouncing against the railing.
• 1:22:02
  In comes Flacker. Here to the plate and scoring
• 1:22:06
  is the Dakers on a triple by the Feaver. Triples
• 1:22:27
  into the right field corner. The Dodgers lead
• 1:22:30
  4 -1 and the storm signals are up and so is the
• 1:22:33
  Chicago Bullpen. And Steve Garvey will be the
• 1:22:37
  batter with two outs. The Dodgers in the dugout
• 1:22:45
  will know how much cheering Lafever has done
• 1:22:48
  for them. Boy today holler up to him when he
• 1:22:51
  got to third base. Here's Garvey. He checks and
• 1:22:55
  fouls one away on one. Jim Colburn, a right -hander,
• 1:23:02
  along with a left -hander in the Chicago bullpen.
• 1:23:09
  Receiver down the line from third. Holtzman checking
• 1:23:13
  and Garvey waiting, and Holtzman off the rubbers.
• 1:23:19
  10 into the wind oven, the strike one -fifth,
• 1:23:22
  breaking ball hit to the left of Kessinger, but
• 1:23:24
  he eats it up. Goes across to Pepitone, the inning
• 1:23:26
  is over. But not before Lefebvre triples home
• 1:23:29
  two. So the Dodgers two runs, two hits, a man
• 1:23:32
  left. And at the end of sixth, the Dodgers four,
• 1:23:36
  Tubbs one. Friends of Farmer John, I'm going
• 1:23:38
  to give you a play -by -play report on his sausage.
• 1:23:41
  He started off with his freshness. After all,
• 1:23:43
  freshness is what you want most in sausage, and
• 1:23:45
  is what you're sure to get when the label says
• 1:23:47
  Farmer John. The good farmer brings fresh eastern
• 1:23:50
  corn -fed pork out here live, and it's U .S.
• 1:23:53
  inspected and dressed fresh right here in the
• 1:23:55
  West. Well, that's why Farmer John's sausage
• 1:23:57
  is a nice, rosy, fresh hue. Doesn't look gray
• 1:24:00
  like sausage chipped in toast in her whole story.
• 1:24:03
  Of course, the fabulous Western flavor of Farmer
• 1:24:05
  John's sausage speaks for itself. Farmer John
• 1:24:08
  makes his sausage to an old -time Western recipe,
• 1:24:11
  using only natural herbs and spices, and he grinds,
• 1:24:14
  mixes, and measures them himself. so his sausage
• 1:24:16
  is never over or under seasoned like some. Lean,
• 1:24:20
  meaty Parmesan sausage makes the West best breakfast
• 1:24:23
  and a hearty, awesome supper, too. It's the sausage
• 1:24:25
  that won the gold medal at the California State
• 1:24:28
  Fair. So enjoy Parmesan sausage often for the
• 1:24:31
  East and most in quality and the West and most
• 1:24:33
  in flavor. Don't forget, for the rest of the
• 1:24:38
  week, the Chicago Cubs tomorrow night, Bill Singer
• 1:24:40
  and Milt Pappas. Then the St. Louis Cardinals
• 1:24:43
  will be in. Wednesday night and Thursday night,
• 1:24:46
  Orlando Cepeda, Lou Brock, and that colorful
• 1:24:48
  gang. Over the weekend, the Houston Astros. Friday
• 1:24:51
  night is team night. Saturday night at 7 p .m.,
• 1:24:54
  ladies night. Sunday afternoon, autograph day
• 1:24:57
  and senior citizens day. If you drop by. Let's
• 1:25:00
  go to the seventh. Four to one Dodgers, and for
• 1:25:03
  more play, here's Jerry. All right, buddy, Pepitone,
• 1:25:05
  Cowlick, and Ortiz coming on. In the seventh,
• 1:25:08
  they can stand defense. This yield is just two
• 1:25:10
  hits. Pop flies in the third back -to -back by
• 1:25:12
  Becker and Williams, one in the right field and
• 1:25:14
  one in the center. So Sandy now working to Capitone,
• 1:25:18
  left -hand hitter up there. The pitch on the
• 1:25:19
  way, fly ball along the left -field line, it's
• 1:25:22
  going foul and out of play. Bounces up into the
• 1:25:25
  stands and it is strike one. So Vance now has
• 1:25:28
  a little breathing room as the favors couple
• 1:25:31
  to the right field. He gets two runs in. Strike
• 1:25:39
  one count, Pepitone waiting. Now the wind -up
• 1:25:43
  again on the pitch on the way, off -speed roll.
• 1:25:46
  Change -up in the dirt. One ball, one strike.
• 1:25:51
  Right -hander to left -hander, working in the
• 1:25:52
  cup bullpen out in right field. Tomorrow night,
• 1:25:55
  it'll be Pappas and Singer in the second game
• 1:25:57
  of the series. Pepitone backs out as another
• 1:26:01
  of the third base coach, Peanut Lowry. Lowry
• 1:26:04
  hit his head down with digging dirt along the
• 1:26:06
  spike, along the truck line. Fastball low, ball
• 1:26:11
  two, two and one. Vandy Vance, who pitched part
• 1:26:16
  of the year here and part at Spokane last year.
• 1:26:21
  Vandy's trying to get off to a good start here
• 1:26:23
  this year. He had a bad start in spring training.
• 1:26:26
  He was hurt the first day out. Playing catch,
• 1:26:28
  he caught one. He failed to catch one. The ball
• 1:26:31
  hit him in the mouth and lost two teeth. Two
• 1:26:33
  -one pitch, outside low for ball three and one.
• 1:26:37
  Then he had a sore arm. He finally did get a
• 1:26:40
  chance to pitch and has done well ever since.
• 1:26:46
  The band's waiting. 3 -1 pitch. Line up and down
• 1:26:53
  it comes. Too low and he walks in. That's the
• 1:26:56
  third walk and each time that he's walked about
• 1:26:58
  it's been the lead off an inning. Saddle in the
• 1:27:01
  second. Martin in the third and he's scored and
• 1:27:03
  now Pepitone here in the seventh inning. So three
• 1:27:07
  walks and here's Johnny Callison at bat. Rounded
• 1:27:10
  into a fourth play and butted and was thrown
• 1:27:12
  out by Steve Garvey. One on, nobody out in the
• 1:27:16
  seventh. They get somebody up in the bullpen
• 1:27:18
  to the Dodgers. Looks like Jim Brewer will start
• 1:27:20
  the fill. Callison waiting. Cortez on deck and
• 1:27:27
  Martin to follow. Vance with a pitch pull and
• 1:27:30
  a fly ball to left field. Allen was right there
• 1:27:32
  backing up a few steps. Ritchie waiting. Pass
• 1:27:35
  it to the out. It's one away. So Callison goes
• 1:27:37
  to left field with a fly ball. One out. And we'll
• 1:27:40
  see about Artees now. Jose Artees playing in
• 1:27:45
  center field and he's hitting 444. He's had a
• 1:27:48
  good start. Eight hits and 18 trips. Chance to
• 1:27:51
  play. He came to the cubs from the white side.
• 1:27:56
  Very speedy, playing in center field. Got your
• 1:28:04
  J .C. Martin out on deck. And then we'll see
• 1:28:08
  about Holtzman's spot. One out and one on. Tapatona's
• 1:28:11
  first base. Barker will not hold him on. Right
• 1:28:14
  -hand batter up there. And Vance now getting
• 1:28:17
  set to work. Now Vance goes off. Back to the
• 1:28:23
  rosin bag. Check on the runner. Vance delivers
• 1:28:34
  to the plate, pass ball backhanded by Sudeikis.
• 1:28:37
  One ball, no strike. Vance made his professional
• 1:28:43
  debut in 1968 at Ogden, and he was promoted to
• 1:28:46
  Spokane for a couple of games. He was at Spokane
• 1:28:50
  all of 1969 in 22 games. He had a 6 -6 record.
• 1:28:55
  And last year at Spokane he won five, lost four,
• 1:28:57
  and he was 7 -7 in the big league. Pitches in
• 1:29:00
  for a strike, Ortiz around as if it's not letting
• 1:29:02
  go by one -on -one. Kind of make him work a little
• 1:29:04
  bit. Vance working in the top of the seventh
• 1:29:07
  inning. Sandy, last year, in 18 starts, had two
• 1:29:13
  complete games. He worked 115 innings in the
• 1:29:17
  big leagues last year. The drive to left field,
• 1:29:20
  well hit. Allen going back for this one. It's
• 1:29:22
  going to be over his head. And one hop against
• 1:29:24
  the bullpen gate. Here's Capitonus third. The
• 1:29:27
  relay comes to Wills. Coming for the plate now,
• 1:29:30
  and Tepesaw is safe. A long go by Archie's over
• 1:29:33
  Allentown in left field. The whole day Archie's,
• 1:29:38
  the little center fielder, bang one, one hop
• 1:29:40
  against the bullpen gate in left field. That
• 1:29:43
  gets a run in. That's the second run for the
• 1:29:46
  score after a walk. It is four to two in favor
• 1:29:49
  of the Dodgers, and the catcher J .C. Martin
• 1:29:51
  coming up against Vance. We'll pause for station
• 1:29:54
  identification. This is the Los Angeles Dodgers
• 1:29:57
  radio network. Love thy neighbor. An easy thing
• 1:30:02
  to say. A hard thing to do. Because there are
• 1:30:07
  so many of them. And at our rate of population
• 1:30:10
  growth, soon there will be too many of them.
• 1:30:12
  This is KTAR radio, Phoenix, Arizona. ...from
• 1:30:15
  a long double to deep left field. Fans ready
• 1:30:18
  to pitch to Martin. Pass ball low. One ball no
• 1:30:21
  strikes. Four to two. In favor of the Dodgers.
• 1:30:24
  Vance has walked three, two of them have scored.
• 1:30:27
  Wills calls time, comes in now to talk to Vance
• 1:30:29
  at the mound. He'll keep an eye on Vance now.
• 1:30:32
  As I told you earlier, he's gone only five innings
• 1:30:35
  at the most all spring. So now we're in the seventh
• 1:30:38
  inning and he's given up a walk, a fly ball out
• 1:30:41
  and a long double by Ortiz. 1 -0 count, Martin
• 1:30:45
  waits. Here's the look in the pitch. Foul, straight
• 1:30:48
  back, strike one, 1 -1. Holtzman is out on deck.
• 1:30:52
  The Cubs have action in the bullpen. If Martin
• 1:30:54
  gets on, the odds are that Leo will send up a
• 1:30:57
  hitter for Kenny Holtzman. Four to two Dodgers
• 1:31:01
  lead it. Now the margin is the triple hit by
• 1:31:04
  Jimmy LaFever's drive -in Parker and Sudeikis
• 1:31:07
  in the bottom of the sixth inning. One ball,
• 1:31:10
  one strike. Vance with a look back at the runner.
• 1:31:14
  Pitch to Martin as a strike on a fastball, drilled
• 1:31:16
  in there, and it is one and two. One ball, two
• 1:31:28
  strikes. Waiting is Martin, he's the catcher.
• 1:31:34
  In for Randy Humbly. Vance ready again, looks
• 1:31:38
  and delivers. Popped up foul, off behind the
• 1:31:41
  plate. Cadega's coming back for it, it's going
• 1:31:43
  to be caught by Cadega. Right against the backstop.
• 1:31:47
  The opponent came all the way to the backstop
• 1:31:49
  screen to handle that one. Good play for Cadega.
• 1:31:53
  Two down now, we'll see about Holtzman. Looks
• 1:31:56
  like Jim Hickman is gonna hit for him. So Holtzman
• 1:32:00
  will leave and Hickman will come on as the pinch
• 1:32:02
  hitter. So for Kenny Holtzman, he worked six
• 1:32:06
  innings, allowed four runs, six hits, walked
• 1:32:09
  one, struck out one, and that was a considerable
• 1:32:11
  improvement over Holtzman's first outing when
• 1:32:14
  he worked four and two third innings and walked
• 1:32:16
  seven and gave up six hits and six runs. So here's
• 1:32:20
  Jim Hickman at bat. And boy, Hickman had a great
• 1:32:22
  year last year for Chicago. He had perhaps his
• 1:32:26
  best year ever. Hickman last year hit 32 home
• 1:32:38
  runs, 115 runs batted, and he hit 315. So here's
• 1:32:44
  Jim Hickman at bat. And Vance working with two
• 1:32:49
  outs. Fastball is inside, ball one on deck. Don
• 1:32:53
  Kessinger, the leadoff man. Four to two. The
• 1:32:56
  Dodgers lead the Cubs. And Sandy Vance trying
• 1:33:01
  to hold them back. Hickman last year played 149
• 1:33:05
  games. He's played in just two games so far this
• 1:33:10
  year, and he is 0 -4. Strike on a fastball, one
• 1:33:13
  on one. The Cubs are experimenting at the moment.
• 1:33:18
  They have Pepitone at first, and Ortiz in center
• 1:33:21
  field. Hickman can play first base or the outfield,
• 1:33:23
  and so can Pepitone. But right now, Leo's taking
• 1:33:26
  a look at Ortiz, and he's making a great impression.
• 1:33:29
  He's now had nine hits. He's played in just two
• 1:33:41
  games so far this year, and he is 0 for 4. Strike
• 1:33:44
  on a fastball, 1 -1. The Cubs are experimenting
• 1:33:48
  at the moment. They have Pepitone at first, and
• 1:33:52
  Ortiz in center field. Hickman can play first
• 1:33:54
  base or the outfield, and so can Pepitone. But
• 1:33:57
  right now, Leo's taking a look at Ortiz, and
• 1:33:59
  he's making a great impression. He's now had
• 1:34:02
  nine hits in 21 and back. 1 -1 count to Hickman.
• 1:34:09
  The van's waiting, and the pitch on the way.
• 1:34:11
  Curve low, and it's ball two, two and one. Hickman
• 1:34:16
  32 home runs last year and 21 the year before.
• 1:34:20
  Hickman almost quit professional baseball when
• 1:34:22
  he traded from the Dodgers to the Cubs and then
• 1:34:24
  was farmed out immediately to the minor league.
• 1:34:27
  He decided he's going to hang it up and he thought
• 1:34:30
  well maybe a try once more and he came back and
• 1:34:32
  played with the Cubs and he's had some great
• 1:34:33
  years with them. 2 -1 count. Now the look again.
• 1:34:38
  Vance backs off. Turn one to Jim Hickman, number
• 1:34:47
  28. Vance again with a sign. The look and the
• 1:34:51
  pitch. In tight, ball free. Three and one. So
• 1:34:55
  Vance now is in trouble. He has walked one, yielded
• 1:34:58
  a double, has two outs, and now Sudeikis and
• 1:35:01
  Wills both come to the mound to talk to Vance.
• 1:35:03
  On deck, Don Kessinger. Somebody goes to the
• 1:35:07
  phone to talk to the bullpen. All right, Hickman
• 1:35:18
  awaiting three and one. Two outs. Runner at second
• 1:35:21
  base. Four to two. Dodgers lead the Cubs. Now
• 1:35:27
  the three -one pitch. Curve lowly. Walking. That
• 1:35:31
  puts Jim in on base and brings up the leadoff
• 1:35:33
  batter, Don Kessinger. And here comes Alston
• 1:35:37
  to the mound. Kessinger coming up. Stops as he
• 1:35:40
  sees Alston go up. That's the fourth walk given
• 1:35:43
  up by Sandy Vance. And we'll see whether Alston's
• 1:35:47
  going to make a change here now on the seventh
• 1:35:49
  inning. Vance has pitched well, but he might
• 1:35:51
  be getting a little tired. He's only worked five
• 1:35:53
  innings with the longest spin all year. He's
• 1:35:56
  now in the seventh inning with two outs. And
• 1:35:58
  here in the last couple of innings, he's made
• 1:35:59
  a lot of pitches in this inning, not last inning.
• 1:36:01
  He got a one, two, three. So they switch hitter
• 1:36:04
  coming up. Alston now will elect the... See whether
• 1:36:10
  he wants to go with Brewer against Kessinger,
• 1:36:13
  batting right -handed, or stay with Vance. And
• 1:36:15
  it looks like he's going to go to the bullpen
• 1:36:17
  and bring in Brewer. He's looking out that way
• 1:36:20
  now as the second base umpire, Tom Gorman, comes
• 1:36:23
  in to join the conversation at the mound. Third
• 1:36:26
  base umpire, Thomas Kudus, is out in left field
• 1:36:28
  and they're going to bring in Brewer. So Sandy
• 1:36:32
  Vance gave it his best shot and will leave here
• 1:36:34
  in the seventh and he was two out, two on, a
• 1:36:37
  run in, and he leads by two. He cannot lose.
• 1:36:40
  He can win if Brewer can hold him. So Brewer
• 1:36:43
  now... the motor disc in the bullpen in left
• 1:36:45
  field, and Vance will leave. For Brewer, he'll
• 1:36:53
  be making his first appearance of the year. So
• 1:36:57
  here's Brewer coming in now, and the total's
• 1:36:59
  on Vance. We'll have to leave the door open.
• 1:37:01
  He worked six and two -third innings. He lost
• 1:37:05
  just three hits. Two pop fly singles and a booming
• 1:37:10
  double. He walked four, he struck out three.
• 1:37:12
  He has allowed two runs and has two men on base
• 1:37:15
  that are his responsibility. As Brewer comes
• 1:37:17
  in now. While Brewer comes in, a reminder, a
• 1:37:20
  date to remember, in fact, three of them. Helmet
• 1:37:22
  Weekend at Dodger Stadium, May 28th, 29th, and
• 1:37:25
  30th. Free helmets to every youngster at these
• 1:37:28
  three games. Why not order tickets now? Send
• 1:37:30
  orders to Helmet Weekend at Dodger's. Box 100,
• 1:37:34
  Los Angeles 9 -00 -51. That's the May 28th put
• 1:37:37
  at anchor 30. A round of applause for Candy Bancroft
• 1:37:40
  who goes strolling off the mound. He sits well.
• 1:37:53
  Another note, the Dodgers are lining up a great
• 1:37:55
  cast for their first Old Timers day. That game
• 1:37:58
  will be on Sunday, June the 6th. Already listed
• 1:38:01
  our former Dodgers to be honored, Duke Snyder,
• 1:38:04
  Don Newcomb, Wally Moon, and today Dixie Walker.
• 1:38:07
  There will be many, many more, so jot down the
• 1:38:09
  date, old -timer's date, Sunday, June 6th, when
• 1:38:12
  Gil Hyges and the Mets are in town. Checking
• 1:38:17
  the scores. Pittsburgh over Philadelphia, 4 -3.
• 1:38:23
  Justy the winner, Selma the loser, 111 innings.
• 1:38:26
  Cincinnati beat Atlanta, 7 -3. McLaughlin the
• 1:38:28
  winner. Reed the loser, Bench had two home runs,
• 1:38:31
  McLaughlin and Rose each had one, and Cepeda
• 1:38:33
  had one for Atlanta. St. Louis 5, Houston 4,
• 1:38:38
  had Carlton, won his second game, beating Glassen
• 1:38:40
  game. The Giants beat San Diego 5 to nothing,
• 1:38:47
  Perry all the way with a free -hitter, beat Kirby.
• 1:38:51
  The American League, Angel Creek, Chicago 3 to
• 1:38:53
  2, Oklahoma, Milwaukee 5 to nothing, Kansas City
• 1:38:55
  and Minnesota 2 to nothing, Minnesota. Boston
• 1:38:57
  beat Washington 10 -7. Now, Jim Brewer, ready
• 1:39:03
  to go to work, making his first appearance of
• 1:39:05
  the year. Brewer pitching to Don Kessler, who
• 1:39:08
  turns around out of back on the right side. Two
• 1:39:11
  on, two out, and Brewer ready to work. Pitch
• 1:39:15
  on away, pops up in the center field. Out goes
• 1:39:18
  the favor, in comes Russell, Billy loses, cap
• 1:39:20
  falls, makes the cut, and the inning is over.
• 1:39:23
  So Brewer comes in, makes one pitch, and gets
• 1:39:25
  the side out. One run. On one hit, two laps,
• 1:39:31
  and the score at the end of six and a half minutes
• 1:39:33
  of play, Dodgers four, the Cubs have two. Love
• 1:39:36
  thy neighbor. An easy thing to say. A hard thing
• 1:39:41
  to do. Because there are so many of them. And
• 1:39:45
  at our rate of population growth, soon there
• 1:39:46
  will be too many of them. Too many to feed, so
• 1:39:50
  we'll starve. Too many to keep healthy, so we'll
• 1:39:54
  have plague. Too many to house, so we won't.
• 1:39:58
  Too many to love, so we'll hate our neighbor
• 1:40:00
  and we'll have wars without end. Because just
• 1:40:03
  by staying alive, our neighbor will be taking
• 1:40:06
  what we and our children need to stay alive.
• 1:40:10
  Zero population growth wants to defuse the population
• 1:40:13
  bomb before it blows up on our faces. Maybe you
• 1:40:17
  won't want to join ZBG in its efforts to protect
• 1:40:19
  the future, but you owe it to the children of
• 1:40:22
  America to find out. Call 939 -7798 for information,
• 1:40:30
  because the fuse is getting very short. Friends,
• 1:40:36
  next time you visit Dodger Stadium, be sure to
• 1:40:38
  drop by one of Danny Goodman's souvenir stands,
• 1:40:40
  pick up a copy of the 1971 Dodger yearbook. The
• 1:40:43
  great cover by Carl Hubenthal is worth the selling
• 1:40:45
  price of 50 cents. All right, you'll find the
• 1:40:47
  names of every Dodger who has played in the stadium.
• 1:40:50
  A fitting salute to the 10th anniversary season.
• 1:40:53
  Here's Jim Colbert coming on now. Young man from
• 1:40:58
  around these parts. Jim went to school in Whittier.
• 1:41:01
  He was born and now lives in Santa Paula. He
• 1:41:10
  went to Whittier College. And is working on his
• 1:41:16
  master's degree now. So Colbert is warming up
• 1:41:24
  now and he replaces Kenny Holtzman who works
• 1:41:27
  six and he's allowed four runs, six hits, and
• 1:41:30
  struck out 1 -1. Here's Bill Russell coming up
• 1:41:38
  now. Russell has one hit and two trips. He ought
• 1:41:42
  to hit the third. Last half of the seventh. Russell
• 1:41:50
  now will turn around and pass in the left side,
• 1:41:52
  facing Coburn. Coburn has been in one game, has
• 1:41:55
  worked just the third of an inning, and allowed
• 1:41:57
  one hit. Big right hander ready in the pitch
• 1:41:59
  on the way to Russell. Pull on him, and strike
• 1:42:01
  one. We're in the bottom of the summer's inning,
• 1:42:04
  and the Dodgers lead 4 -2 over the Chicago Cubs,
• 1:42:06
  first meeting of the year between the two teams.
• 1:42:11
  Coburn checking signs again into the windup,
• 1:42:13
  and here's his pitch. A swing and a miss, and
• 1:42:16
  a good breaking ball. Strike two. That ball seemed
• 1:42:18
  to run in on Russell. 0 and 2 to the count. Now
• 1:42:32
  the pitch on the way. Cap foul of Lefkoe, Texas
• 1:42:35
  swing. But a strange note about Cobran. He became
• 1:42:41
  the Cubs player representative as a rookie. He
• 1:42:46
  must be pretty smart. That master's degree is
• 1:42:50
  in sociology. The swing of the line drive caught
• 1:42:53
  by Becker. So Russell lines up to the second
• 1:42:56
  baseman one away and here's Brewer coming up.
• 1:42:59
  So Jim Brewer, who came in to replace Mandy Vance,
• 1:43:02
  coming up now. Coburn pitching. Not a lot of
• 1:43:19
  the ball. Another note about Coburn, I think.
• 1:43:21
  They had a night for him here, and his rookie
• 1:43:23
  here, the folks from Santa Paula came down to
• 1:43:25
  have a night for him, and I think that he was
• 1:43:26
  shook out the next day. But he kind of took it
• 1:43:30
  all good -naturedly by the boy. Line drive foul
• 1:43:34
  down the left field line, and the count to Brewer,
• 1:43:36
  one ball, one strike. So that'd be in 1969 when
• 1:43:40
  he came up with the Cubs for six games. He was
• 1:43:44
  with the Cubs last year. It was in 34 games and
• 1:43:46
  had a record of three and one. ball in the deep
• 1:43:51
  right field by a floater. Carlson going back
• 1:43:54
  to the track makes the catch for the off. Boy,
• 1:43:57
  that's about as hard as Jim Brewer will ever
• 1:43:58
  hit a baseball. A long high fly ball, and Carlson
• 1:44:01
  had to retreat all the way to the running track
• 1:44:04
  in deep right field. So Brewer a long out, and
• 1:44:07
  here's Wills coming up. Maury has one for three.
• 1:44:11
  Brewer will go back down and talk about his power.
• 1:44:14
  He goes down into the dugout, takes the helmet
• 1:44:17
  off, and has a seat. Over the bat rack, of course.
• 1:44:24
  Wills is about two down on the bottom of the
• 1:44:25
  seventh inning. Now the windup in the pitch.
• 1:44:33
  Off speed to Wills for a strike. 0 -1. Sandy
• 1:44:37
  Vance works six and two -thirds and he's allowed
• 1:44:39
  two runs, three hits in his first start of the
• 1:44:42
  year. 0 -1. Now the pitch. Bounced over the mound
• 1:44:48
  near second base. Becker's there. Up with it.
• 1:44:50
  Schroeder first. Wills is out to retire the side.
• 1:44:52
  So Colburn gets them out one, two, three, and
• 1:44:54
  the seven. Schroeder at the end of seven. Dodgers
• 1:44:57
  four and the Cubs have two. Marge, I'm home.
• 1:45:01
  Thank goodness, George. What a day. You think
• 1:45:03
  you had a bad day, Marge? Here I am driving home
• 1:45:06
  and it's hotter than a barbecue, right? And what
• 1:45:08
  happened? What, George? I turn on the air conditioner
• 1:45:10
  and it goes nuts. It was like a sauna bath in
• 1:45:13
  that car. They just don't make things the way
• 1:45:15
  they used to. I'll probably have to take it to
• 1:45:17
  a dozen places before I can find a guy who can
• 1:45:19
  fix it. You know why, Marge? Why do it? Because
• 1:45:21
  nobody tries anymore. Nobody's got the old spirit.
• 1:45:24
  We still try at Union 76. When you take your
• 1:45:28
  car to a Union 76 certified service man, he'll
• 1:45:30
  do the job right. Because he's had special training
• 1:45:33
  at Union certified service school. Up to six
• 1:45:35
  weeks for each certified service driver you wear.
• 1:45:38
  Tires, brakes, wheel alignment, two miles. If
• 1:45:40
  he's wearing the stripes, you know he can do
• 1:45:42
  the job. Even with complicated things. like air
• 1:45:45
  conditioners. Marge, the Union 76 guy with the
• 1:45:48
  air conditioning stripe found the trouble. Really
• 1:45:50
  George? What was it? I turned on the heater by
• 1:45:53
  mistake. Don't forget cap night when everyone
• 1:46:00
  at Dodger City, youngsters and oldsters get a
• 1:46:02
  cap. The date, Friday night, May 7th. The Dodgers
• 1:46:05
  and the Pirates here that night. Cap night on
• 1:46:07
  May the 7th. Jim Brewer trying to cap it up for
• 1:46:11
  the Dodgers here. And the Cubs come to bat in
• 1:46:14
  the eighth inning. Back to play. Here's Vance.
• 1:46:17
  I .J. Glenn Beckett will start it off followed
• 1:46:19
  by Billy Williams and Ron Santo. Jim Colburn
• 1:46:27
  picked up the pieces for Kenny Holtzman. Jim
• 1:46:29
  Brewer doing the same for Sandy Vance. Dodges
• 1:46:31
  leading 4 -2 and the fastball is low. Ball one.
• 1:46:35
  1 -0. Beckett. is one of the toughest men in
• 1:46:41
  the league to strike out. He was the third toughest
• 1:46:43
  last year, and he's in the top 10 for the last
• 1:46:46
  four. And he whacks it in the left center field,
• 1:46:48
  base hit. Russell's deep to cut it off, and does,
• 1:46:51
  and a perfect throw to Will. So Glenn Beckert
• 1:46:55
  opens up with a base hit, and that means some
• 1:46:57
  big boys are coming up representing the tying
• 1:46:59
  run. That's William from Santo and Pepidome.
• 1:47:16
  Four -two Dodgers and here's Billy Williams popped
• 1:47:19
  up, singled and grounded out. Brewer ready and
• 1:47:23
  delivers and a breaking ball is outside. Ball
• 1:47:25
  one and the Dodger bullpen stirs around. Now
• 1:47:28
  there's trouble in River City. And Pete Mickelson
• 1:47:31
  begins to throw in the Dodger bullpen to Tommy
• 1:47:34
  Haller. Barker not holding the bag on Beckard.
• 1:47:40
  He wants a little room to roam down there with
• 1:47:43
  left -hand hitting Williams at the plate. For
• 1:47:45
  one hole pitch on the way, fast ball for a strike,
• 1:47:48
  and that's cool Billy. One and one. Leo Durocher
• 1:47:59
  lets out a little holler to Doug Harvey who nods
• 1:48:02
  and that's all. A little foul off to the left
• 1:48:04
  of the plate, tough play, no play. It hits the
• 1:48:08
  seat and comes back on the field, hits the covering
• 1:48:10
  of the dugout seat. One and two to Billy Williams.
• 1:48:33
  Billy Williams back up to the plate. Williams
• 1:48:38
  hit just under 400 against the Dodgers last year.
• 1:48:43
  He's 1 for 3 tonight. Brewer at the bell and
• 1:48:47
  the 1 -2 fits. On the hands foul back. Brewer
• 1:48:50
  dropping his arm and coming a little side on
• 1:48:52
  that time to the left hand hitter. Still 1 and
• 1:48:54
  2. The word on Billy Williams. And, of course,
• 1:49:00
  he has been rookie of the year and established
• 1:49:03
  star for many years for the Tubs. But his own
• 1:49:05
  personality has matured considerably. He is definitely
• 1:49:08
  one of the team leaders now. The one -two breaking
• 1:49:11
  ball hits off Parker's glove in the right field.
• 1:49:14
  That was a shot. Becker is on his way to third
• 1:49:17
  and holding. And Billy Williams almost took Parker's
• 1:49:21
  hands off with a single to right. There are runners
• 1:49:23
  at first and third, nobody out. With Stantos,
• 1:49:27
  Pepperdorn, and Callison coming up. And that
• 1:49:31
  ball was stunned. The Dodgers, without an answer
• 1:49:37
  as to how to pitch to Williams, these two for
• 1:49:41
  four tonight. So first and third, nobody out.
• 1:49:45
  Dodgers holding on to a four to two lead. But
• 1:49:48
  for the first time tonight, the Cubs now have
• 1:49:50
  more hits than the Dodgers. They have been coming
• 1:49:52
  in the eighth as well as in the seventh. Sato
• 1:49:57
  takes the strike. Ron walks into a fourth play,
• 1:50:01
  struck out. Jim Brewer has allowed three hits.
• 1:50:14
  Now the pitch of the play, screwball, a high
• 1:50:17
  fly ball. That should be deep enough to get Beckard
• 1:50:19
  on. Russell angling under it makes the catch.
• 1:50:22
  Beckard comes and the throw goes to the feeders
• 1:50:24
  to keep the potential tying run anchored at first
• 1:50:27
  base. Lestano is scoring five balls. And the
• 1:50:34
  batter is Joe Pepitone. Here's Joe Pepitone.
• 1:50:59
  Popped up twice and won. He's 0 for 2. 4 to 3
• 1:51:03
  Dodgers. Brewer's tight -arm fastball hits to
• 1:51:06
  Parker. He goes to Wills. He's back to Parker.
• 1:51:10
  Double play. In the eighth inning for Chicago.
• 1:51:24
  One run, two hits. Nobody left. At the end of
• 1:51:27
  seven and a half innings, the Dodgers four and
• 1:51:29
  the Cubs three. A treasure on Disney kids' games
• 1:51:42
  when it's underneath the Atlantic Ocean. Sharks
• 1:51:46
  don't play games. Their ancestors must have had
• 1:51:49
  quite a piece 250 years ago when a hurricane
• 1:51:52
  sank a fleet of Spanish galleons. along with
• 1:51:55
  14 million dollars in gold doubloons and pieces
• 1:51:58
  of eight. If you're lucky, you'll find some of
• 1:52:02
  it. If you're even luckier, you'll live to celebrate
• 1:52:08
  it, with gusto. And man, that's when you know
• 1:52:11
  what life really is. Because you know you only
• 1:52:16
  go around once, and you gotta look for all the
• 1:52:18
  gusto you can, even in the beer you drink. That
• 1:52:23
  means shit. Why settle for less? When you're
• 1:52:27
  out of schlitz, you're out of beer. Bottom of
• 1:52:37
  the eighth inning, good bogey. Dodges four, cuts
• 1:52:40
  three. In the eighth inning, it'll be Manny Moda,
• 1:52:45
  Wes Parker, and Ricky Allen in that order. Manny
• 1:52:50
  Moda grounded out twice and lined out to right
• 1:52:53
  all three times going the other way, which is
• 1:52:55
  the usual way with Manny. He rarely tries to
• 1:52:59
  pull a ball. He swings and lifts one back to
• 1:53:03
  second base. Beckers is shortstop. Kessinger
• 1:53:06
  will handle it instead. So Kessinger handling
• 1:53:09
  the pop fly by Moda one away and the batter,
• 1:53:12
  Wes Parker. Wes Parker. who started the double
• 1:53:18
  play on the ball hit by Pepitone. West has lined
• 1:53:23
  out twice and singles. He's won for three, scored
• 1:53:27
  a run. Coburn ready and Jim delivers. Low, 1
• 1:53:34
  -1, 1 -0. If you are not keeping score and you're
• 1:53:38
  wondering about the Cubs in the ninth, they are
• 1:53:40
  due to send up Johnny Callison, Jose Ortiz, and
• 1:53:44
  J .C. Martin. Here's the 1 -0 pitch. Parker checks
• 1:53:48
  and it's a strike. Leo said before the ballgame
• 1:53:53
  he could and might use Randy Hundley as the pinch
• 1:53:57
  hitter as the situation came up. 1 -1 the count.
• 1:54:05
  The pitch to Parker is the ground ball down to
• 1:54:07
  second. Charging is Becker, short hops and gets
• 1:54:09
  him for the second out. Here is Rushie Allen,
• 1:54:21
  round of the third, hit a booming home run over
• 1:54:23
  the center field fence and slide to right. In
• 1:54:26
  talking about the possible pinch hitters on the
• 1:54:30
  Chicago bench, discount the name Ernie Banks.
• 1:54:37
  First pitch is tied down. Ernie Banks is on the
• 1:54:40
  disabled list. He went on the 1st of April, so
• 1:54:43
  he will stay on for three weeks. Banks. with
• 1:54:46
  the ball club worked out every day before the
• 1:54:48
  game but that's it. Strike one pitch, Allen has
• 1:54:51
  a look, he'll pay for it, strike two. So it's
• 1:54:56
  one time the Dodgers do not have to worry about
• 1:54:58
  the Great Ernie Banks coming up in the ninth
• 1:55:00
  inning. 0 -2 the count to Richie Allen. Coborn
• 1:55:09
  checking. Jim to the windup and the strike two
• 1:55:12
  fish. On the hands a broken bat, slow ground
• 1:55:14
  ball to short, Kessinger in a hurry, throws in
• 1:55:16
  the dirt dug out by Pepitone, and boy that bat
• 1:55:20
  will not be used again. Allen was really jammed.
• 1:55:23
  Dodgers are gone in the eighth and at the end
• 1:55:25
  of eighth, Dodgers four, Cubs three. Well here
• 1:55:29
  it is baseball season 1971, but much of the talk
• 1:55:32
  you hear is about the 1930s, even by those too
• 1:55:35
  young to remember. Now perhaps one reason is
• 1:55:38
  because the 30s didn't have our problems today,
• 1:55:40
  such as smog, litter, and elements that even
• 1:55:43
  affect our food. A farm boy delivered eggs that
• 1:55:45
  were barely out of the hen house, shiny fresh
• 1:55:48
  apples right from the orchard, and corn that
• 1:55:50
  was still growing just minutes ago. Well today,
• 1:55:53
  it's nice to know we have Farmer John and his
• 1:55:56
  pork. Pork so fresh it couldn't be fresher back
• 1:55:59
  in the famous Eastern Corn Belt. In fact, you
• 1:56:01
  might say Farmer John brought the Corn Belt out
• 1:56:04
  west. Because he gets eastern corn -fed pork
• 1:56:06
  out here live, not frozen or in cold storage
• 1:56:09
  like most packers do. Then the meat's U .S. inspected
• 1:56:12
  and grass -fresh right here in the West. So Farmer
• 1:56:16
  John Pork is strictly fresh. Farmer John Pork,
• 1:56:19
  the only fresh pork ever to win a gold medal
• 1:56:21
  at the California State Fair. Passport by name,
• 1:56:25
  Farmer John. As we go through the ninth inning
• 1:56:28
  with the Dodgers leading four to three. They
• 1:56:31
  make an outfield change for defensive purposes.
• 1:56:34
  They put Willie Davis in center field, move Bill
• 1:56:36
  Russell over to right field, and move Manny Mota
• 1:56:39
  over to left field. So the keeping score put
• 1:56:42
  Willie Davis in Richie Allen's spot. Randy Hundley
• 1:56:51
  will make an appearance. Randy... making his
• 1:56:56
  appearance and it'll be number one for the great
• 1:56:58
  young Chicago catcher who's been out with a bad
• 1:57:01
  knee. So, Hundley makes his first appearance
• 1:57:07
  of the year hitting for Johnny Callison against
• 1:57:11
  the left -hand hitting Jim Brewer. The pitch
• 1:57:16
  to Hundley, a strike on one. We mentioned earlier
• 1:57:20
  that Leo said that Hundley will catch, will start.
• 1:57:23
  against the San Diego Padres. Brew into the wind
• 1:57:30
  -up and the strike one -fifth. Screwball lifted
• 1:57:33
  to shallow center. Davis comes off. He's there.
• 1:57:36
  He's got it. You know one thing we always seem
• 1:57:40
  to forget. There is pressure on a ballplayer
• 1:57:43
  when he is put in in the last inning or so of
• 1:57:45
  the game for defensive purposes. That's a long
• 1:57:47
  time to sit around. And then suddenly they hit
• 1:57:50
  a ball to you and you've had no practice in a
• 1:57:52
  long while. Now, after that fly ball, Randy Hundley
• 1:57:57
  apparently, and we're only guessing, had that
• 1:58:00
  knee buckle on him. And Hundley, who was so close
• 1:58:03
  to playing, has suddenly fallen down and apparently
• 1:58:07
  hurt the leg again. What a miserable break for
• 1:58:11
  a great kid catcher from Virginia. And it is
• 1:58:14
  his right knee. Hundley is coming off two serious
• 1:58:18
  knee injuries back to back, and they're going
• 1:58:20
  to have to take a stretcher, I believe, and take
• 1:58:22
  him off. He is an Ironman catcher and suddenly
• 1:58:26
  last year he hurt his knee and now this year
• 1:58:29
  he hurts it all pop of it In fact Glenn Bechert
• 1:58:36
  and Joel Pepitone bring the stretcher out and
• 1:58:39
  I can hear Leo's words before the game When we
• 1:58:42
  asked him why wouldn't you catch Hundley tomorrow
• 1:58:45
  night if he can catch on Wednesday and Leo said
• 1:58:47
  I'm not gonna take any chances with him I'd rather
• 1:58:50
  be 10 minutes late than 10 minutes early. And
• 1:58:54
  then we said, could you use him as a pinch hitter?
• 1:58:56
  He said, oh, yes, as a pinch hitter. And wouldn't
• 1:58:58
  you know that hitting a fly ball apparently is
• 1:59:01
  spikes caught, and down he went and hurt the
• 1:59:03
  knee again. And boy, that breaks your heart,
• 1:59:08
  because he is a marvelous guy and a great ballplayer.
• 1:59:12
  Of course, the station identification, this is
• 1:59:14
  the Los Angeles Dodgers radio network. To give
• 1:59:28
  you an idea about what kind of an Iron Man Randy
• 1:59:31
  Hundley has been for the Cubs, in 1966 he caught
• 1:59:36
  149 games, in 67 152, and in 68 he appeared in
• 1:59:42
  160 of 162 games, in 69 151 games. And you can
• 1:59:49
  only keep your fingers crossed and hope that
• 1:59:51
  he'll be okay. That's a tough break. Here is
• 1:59:55
  Jose Ortiz. Brewer delivers fastball for a strike.
• 1:59:59
  Ortiz hit into a fourth playground of his short
• 2:00:01
  and ripped one over Richie Allen's head for a
• 2:00:04
  long double in the seventh inning. He short hopped
• 2:00:05
  the bullpen gate in left field. Strike one -fifth
• 2:00:11
  to Ortiz. Ground ball down to Wills. Morrie is
• 2:00:14
  up with it. Has to hurry. Gets him. Two down.
• 2:00:20
  New up is J .C. Martin. He will not come up.
• 2:00:24
  There'll be a hitter, Hal Breeden. B -R -E -E
• 2:00:28
  -D -E -N, a catcher. And Breeden will now come
• 2:00:31
  up and hit. And of course, I don't know whether
• 2:00:34
  Leo would second guess himself, but you know
• 2:00:37
  the human reaction will be, why in the world
• 2:00:39
  did I even use him? But of course, he's a professional
• 2:00:43
  athlete. He had to be used. And darned it, Hunter,
• 2:00:46
  he apparently didn't hurt that knee again. So,
• 2:00:48
  Hal Breeden... who is listed as a catcher but
• 2:00:53
  has been an infielder. Right hand battered. He
• 2:01:04
  has good power, so he's up there to try and do
• 2:01:08
  it with one swing. He has 37 home runs at Richmond
• 2:01:10
  last year. Fastball for site. now the strike
• 2:01:23
  one pitch to Breeden screwball low Harvey taking
• 2:01:26
  his head no he did not swing in the count one
• 2:01:28
  and one so Breeden is the third Chicago pinch
• 2:01:39
  hitter and the second in the ninth inning one
• 2:01:43
  one pitch to the right hand batter screwball
• 2:01:45
  one on a missed strike two one and two now Breeden
• 2:01:56
  from Georgia. Brewer ready, one, two, fish. One
• 2:02:00
  on him, next, Brewer got him, and the Dodgers
• 2:02:02
  win it four to three, as Brewer strikes out Hal
• 2:02:06
  Breeze. There are the totals of winning and losing
• 2:02:08
  fishers right after this message. well -trained
