  Wednesday, October 4, 1950. The New York Yankees faced the Philadelphia Phillies at Shibepark
• 0:13
  in Game 1 of the 1950 World Series. The Yankees, managed by Casey Stengel in his second year
• 0:18
  as the team's skipper, were looking to defend their championship title. The Phillies, under
• 0:24
  the management of Eddie Sawyer in his first year, were making their first appearance in
• 0:27
  the fall classic in 35 years, having last participated in 1915 when they lost to the
• 0:33
  Red Sox. This audio is a partial recording of Game 1. The first 10 minutes capture the
• 0:39
  pre-game activities, after which the recording jumps to the play-by-play action starting
• 0:43
  in the bottom of the fifth inning with the Yankees leading 1-0. The recording is from
• 0:48
  the Mutual Radio broadcast, featuring announcers Gene Kelly and Mel Allen.
• 1:18
  Blue Blades with the sharpest edges ever hung. Gillette's cavalcade of sports is on the air.
• 1:25
  Good afternoon baseball fans everywhere. This is Gene Kelly with Mel Allen and Al Helfer
• 1:31
  at Shibepark in Philadelphia, greeting you for the Gillette's safety racing company as
• 1:35
  the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies get set for the opening game of the 1950 World
• 1:41
  Series. This is the 12th consecutive year that baseball's championship classic is being
• 1:47
  aired. Yes, and because so many sports fans are also Gillette fans, we broadcast and telecast
• 1:54
  major boxing, racing and football events as we occur throughout the calendar. So folks
• 1:59
  remember, for the top 10 sports, tune in Gillette's cavalcade of sports the year around. This
• 2:08
  broadcast is authorized under the broadcasting rights granted by the commissioner of baseball,
• 2:13
  solely for the entertainment of our listening audience. And any publication, rebroadcast
• 2:18
  or other use of the descriptions and accounts of this game without the express consent of
• 2:23
  the commissioner is prohibited. The theme is set. The color guard starts walking toward
• 2:29
  the center field flagpole in Shibepark with a tremendous tradition. The band is playing
• 2:34
  Take Me Out to the Ball game. The band headed by Elliott Lawrence. And in several moments
• 2:39
  from now, another classic will be underway. The big surprise was the headline that greeted
• 2:45
  sports fans last night. The fact that the big professor from Worcester, New York, 33-year-old
• 2:51
  Jim Consnattie would get his first starting assignment in professional baseball since
• 2:56
  1948 and his first major league starting assignment since having joined the field under the aegis
• 3:02
  of Ed Sawyer when he first came up with this organization a season and a half ago. All
• 3:07
  of the seasons from now to have won 16 and lost seven appearing in 74 ball games to break
• 3:12
  the all time game appearance mark set back in 1943 by Ace Adams of the New York Giants.
• 3:19
  The pills based upon their climactic finish against the Brooklyn Dodgers on Sunday, when
• 3:24
  Dick Sifflers, son of the immortal George, hit a home run with Chouin to win for the
• 3:27
  pills their first tenant in 35 years, Scarlett 4-1, feel now that they are loose. But the
• 3:33
  Yankees traditionally cold and bold feel that it won't take too much time for them to
• 3:39
  down the challenge of the so-called whiz kids, the fight and fills of the city of Rudderley
• 3:44
  Lough. I think it was well put last night in the lobby of Yankees headquarters in downtown
• 3:50
  Philadelphia. Jim Planner, pitching coach, Casey Stingel-Janky, said this to me after
• 3:56
  I asked the following question, Jim do you think it will be a great series? Do you think
• 4:00
  it will go beyond four games? He says what series is in great? Four games are seven.
• 4:07
  You fellas I know are going to give us trouble. He was referring of course to the pills.
• 4:11
  Folks, if I were to list the really important events that October occupants, the World Series
• 4:17
  of course would be right up there. Yes, and right up there too would be the annual drive
• 4:22
  of the United Community Chess. When you realize that 40, yes 40 out of every 100 families
• 4:27
  and the average community receive service of some kind from one or more community chess
• 4:32
  agencies in the course of the year, it brings home the vital importance of these splendid
• 4:36
  organizations. And also it points up very emphatically. The obligation each of us has
• 4:42
  to make a real worthwhile contribution. There are various payment plans so flex now. Pay
• 4:48
  as you can during the year. The weather, while not entirely disappointing, is definitely
• 4:54
  a lot of work. It's football weather. There's a decided breeze blowing in from left field.
• 4:59
  It is right field hitters day. It's a pretty brisk breeze and the temperature is in the
• 5:03
  mid 60s. As you know over the weekend and leading up to this day, we had very warm
• 5:08
  climb. Just how much either picture will be affected, I don't know. Of course, Ratchey
• 5:12
  has had World Series experience before. Cold weather, hot weather, what have you. Big Vic
• 5:18
  who has won 21 games for the second season in a row is set to go. On the other hand,
• 5:22
  he's been standing for the first time this season. This played some sort of ineffectiveness
• 5:26
  after he had gone to the hills from 73 times, losing one game in Boston and being blasted
• 5:31
  out in another recently at Bravesfield. But he says once he can get his slider and farm
• 5:36
  ball down, which Mel and I will be describing to you as the play by play in the field throughout
• 5:41
  the afternoon, he's very difficult to hit. And I imagine that story is the confidence
• 5:46
  from the young man that was doubly promoted when he picked so well against the American
• 5:50
  leaders in the all star game in mid July out of Connecticut Park. Now here are your official
• 5:56
  starting lineup. And for those of you around the nation, you may be keeping radio star
• 6:00
  cards for Saturday night. For the visiting New York Yankees and two games will be played
• 6:05
  in this National League Park, whereupon it will move to the Yankee Stadium 4-3 and back
• 6:10
  to Philadelphia if necessary, or the sixth and seventh games for New York. Reading off
• 6:15
  and playing left field, Gene Woodling, W-O-O-D-L-I-N-G Woodling, batting second and playing short
• 6:22
  shot, Phil Rizzuto, almost an odd John favorite now, the top, the most valuable player award
• 6:29
  in the American League, Rizzuto, the skewerer playing short shot, batting third and catching,
• 6:34
  Larry Berra, batting fourth and playing center field in his ninth world series, the immortal
• 6:42
  Joe DiMaggio, batting fifth and playing first base, a former National League of note, a
• 6:48
  great hitter, John Miles, batting sixth and playing third base, Dr. Bobby Brown, batting
• 6:55
  seventh and playing right field, one of the brighter prospects in the New York organization,
• 7:01
  Henry Bauer, B-A-U-E-R, batting eighth and playing second base, Jerry Coleman, and the
• 7:08
  pitcher for the New York Yankees batting ninth, Victor Racky of West Springfield, Massachusetts.
• 7:14
  He has won 21 and lost base. For the Phillies, reading off and playing first base, one of
• 7:20
  the greater comebacks of the season, Eddie Wakers, batting second and playing center
• 7:25
  field, Ricky Ashburn, batting third and playing left field, Vic Sifler, batting fourth and
• 7:33
  playing right field, the National League's leading run producer, Bill Ennis, who incidentally
• 7:37
  makes his home right here in Philadelphia, born and raised here, batting fifth and playing
• 7:42
  third base, Puttenhead John, right name, Willie Ed, batting sixth and playing short shot,
• 7:50
  Granville Handler, batting seventh and catching though injured, he came up with a badly sprained
• 7:56
  ankle in a recent series with the New York Giants, though he is playing anyway by just
• 8:00
  before game time, Andy Semidek, batting eighth and playing second base, sophomore, Mike Zoliac,
• 8:07
  and a pitcher of course for the Phillies will be the big professor as they call him, the
• 8:12
  spectacled Jim Tonsatti, K-O-N-S-T-A-N-Z-Y. Based upon very recent rules, there will be
• 8:21
  six umpires in this game, baseline umpires, which were instituted a couple of years ago
• 8:26
  and Commissioner Chandler took over his position in baseball, and they will include, John Cole
• 8:32
  Cunlin of the National League, Charlie Berry of the American League, Dusty Boggess of the
• 8:37
  National League, the veteran Bill McGowan of the American League, and the baseline umpires
• 8:43
  will be Young Al Bartlett of the National League and Bill McKinley of the Junior Circuit.
• 8:48
  As of the present moment, the opposing skippers, Sawyer of the Phillies who of course began
• 8:55
  his baseball career in the New York organization, when Mr. Barrow was the business manager of
• 9:01
  the Yankees and Casey Stengel, who in two years has proven that he can produce a winner
• 9:06
  after a lot of rough luck in the past with his Brooklyn and Boston clubs in the National
• 9:10
  League are conferring on ground rules. Now having been familiar with the shy part play
• 9:14
  of this season, we can tell you that most of the field rules regard the barrier in left
• 9:21
  field as well as the dugout. There is a three foot chicken wire that extends from the left
• 9:26
  field to left fetus. The crowd in the background has begun cheering as both New York and Phillies
• 9:33
  clubs approach from first and third base lines respectively. The field rules of course regarding
• 9:39
  the dugout are an extra base from either side of the diamond if the ball is thrown into
• 9:44
  either dugout. A lot of runs have scored automatically because of that rule. The Phillies are lined
• 9:50
  up in their peppermint candy stick uniform. That's the novelty of the season. They have
• 9:54
  very bright red common hats with white numerals and white buttons. Their uniforms are cream
• 10:00
  white with red stripes for their home team and filled in red in strips is emblazoned
• 10:05
  across the Jersey. Bright red stockings. Yankees of course in their familiar traveling pearl
• 10:09
  gray and dark navy blue. Now in a moment we ought to have a prayer of thanksgiving which
• 10:17
  has been instituted on this occasion. So that the folks here in our listening audience as
• 10:22
  well as out here at Shy Park give thanks for the recent successes in Northern Korea as
• 10:28
  well as general thanksgiving on this great occasion. This World Baseball Classic that
• 10:32
  we are glad to be alive and live in this country of ours.
• 11:00
  Thank you for watching.
• 11:52
  Oddly enough, there seem to be some seats in right field, but I imagine that before game
• 12:09
  time, which is just seconds away, they'll be well filled up as opposing pictures ratchy
• 12:13
  in right field and can stand in left commensurate on us.
• 12:16
  The angst of course up here for the 17th time, the field for the second.
• 12:20
  Now we pause 10 seconds for station identification.
• 12:23
  And now as we get ready to move into the last half of the fifth inning, it is my very pleasant
• 12:32
  duty and desire to introduce to you your play-by-play commentator for the remainder of this ball
• 12:38
  game.
• 12:39
  A fellow who still is tingling from that dramatic finish in the National League when he saw his
• 12:46
  healthy fillies beat the Dodgers to get into this World Series.
• 12:49
  It's his first.
• 12:50
  I hope it won't be his last.
• 12:52
  I'm sure it won't.
• 12:54
  And he's just as excited as the kids with the new toy and who can blame me.
• 12:58
  I am too.
• 12:59
  Gene Kelly.
• 13:00
  Thank you very much, Mel.
• 13:01
  Dell and his first man up last for the fifth of the Phillies, ratchy in the motion delivers.
• 13:05
  And it's in there for call strike one.
• 13:07
  Overhand fastball.
• 13:08
  Dell bounced out second to first.
• 13:10
  Back on the second inning.
• 13:12
  And the count on him at the time was one and two.
• 13:15
  No more one strike count on Dell.
• 13:16
  To be followed by Woody Jones and Granny Hunter.
• 13:18
  All right, handed swingers.
• 13:19
  Last of the fifth.
• 13:20
  Gori Yankees won for these nothings.
• 13:21
  Ratchy takes a little bit more time than usual.
• 13:22
  From the barricades, the delivery swinging a bouncer off the plate which hit the right
• 13:27
  side of Ennis and was called foul immediately by a plate umpire, Jaco Conlon.
• 13:34
  They're keeping the same ball in place.
• 13:37
  And it's another two count on Dell.
• 13:39
  Ennis is a Philadelphia born boy, has lived here all his life and was a great high school
• 13:43
  athlete.
• 13:44
  There were some questions at the time as to whether he should turn to baseball and football
• 13:48
  and his discover.
• 13:49
  A well-known basketball official incidentally named Jaco Conlon inserts a very stator baseball
• 13:56
  and of course he's very happy that he's ready.
• 13:57
  He's the highest paid man on the field.
• 13:59
  Nothing in two.
• 14:00
  Keeping the box.
• 14:01
  Ratchy set in the motion.
• 14:02
  Going high inside.
• 14:03
  Ball one.
• 14:04
  One ball to strike.
• 14:05
  This has been a well-heard ball game.
• 14:06
  Straight baseball all the way.
• 14:07
  Sharp feeling and as Melody told you the pitching has been supreme.
• 14:17
  Been standing more left of a surprise starter so it took the nation 24 hours to get used
• 14:24
  to it.
• 14:25
  Now the one two fix.
• 14:26
  Big one going swinging a fly ball fairly deep to right.
• 14:30
  Very high.
• 14:31
  Moving back under the ball.
• 14:32
  Hanks out.
• 14:33
  Towns the glove and makes the catch.
• 14:34
  That's all for Dell Ennis.
• 14:35
  A fly ball to Hanks out and right.
• 14:36
  One away.
• 14:38
  Now Putt and Head Jones has been a great field of discussion around this area of the season
• 14:46
  concerning his nickname and of course it was taken up from the pocket of the song of many
• 14:50
  seasons ago.
• 14:51
  Down around home in North Carolina they call him Big Ed and his right first name is Willie
• 14:56
  and I think the best story about him is when his wife asked which he preferred she said
• 15:01
  he was going to go putt and head that's good enough.
• 15:08
  Right handed batter going.
• 15:09
  Fine away.
• 15:10
  Ball one.
• 15:11
  One ball no strike.
• 15:12
  Slow curve that time.
• 15:13
  Fines motion.
• 15:14
  Great build for a pitcher.
• 15:15
  Seems in control of the situation at all times.
• 15:17
  One got.
• 15:18
  Now the pitch.
• 15:19
  Swinging a ground ball.
• 15:20
  Go to middle.
• 15:21
  Outdoor corner for your base pitch.
• 15:22
  That's the first hit of the ball game.
• 15:23
  Call the Phillies.
• 15:33
  That was a through the middle single on the ground.
• 15:37
  It wasn't hit too crisply but just at the right spot wherein residual the shortstop and
• 15:43
  Coleman the second baseman had difficulty trying to grab it and it rolled out toward
• 15:46
  a module and short center.
• 15:47
  So that's the first field base runner in the ball game against Jackie who has held
• 15:52
  my give us in.
• 15:53
  Johnny Hender hit the first pitch down to the out.
• 15:57
  Shot the first second inning.
• 15:58
  Open wide.
• 15:59
  Steps out at the moment.
• 16:00
  Hender is an inveterate first ball hitter.
• 16:03
  So his average of 270 was as high as in professional ball.
• 16:09
  This pass regular season.
• 16:11
  He bats right handed.
• 16:12
  In field double play depth.
• 16:14
  Set the pitch.
• 16:15
  Swinging missing.
• 16:16
  Side one.
• 16:17
  A sweet down breaking curve.
• 16:22
  Seem odd.
• 16:23
  I know it a metal as well as to myself and Al Helper that Ratchey is going into a stretch
• 16:27
  for the first time in the world game.
• 16:29
  He had her hit list for four and one third inning.
• 16:33
  Perfect ball as a matter of fact.
• 16:34
  Nobody reached base.
• 16:35
  Nothing in one.
• 16:37
  Throwing swinging missing.
• 16:40
  So he crossed him up beautifully that time.
• 16:42
  He came in high and hard down around the letters with a fast ball.
• 16:46
  And though Ratchey well ahead of his batting opponent.
• 16:50
  Steps off a moment.
• 16:52
  Nothing in two.
• 16:54
  We can afford now to toy with Hender a little bit.
• 16:57
  Hender is a jab hitter.
• 16:58
  He takes a tremendous cut which looks as though he's chopping down but he levels a swing at
• 17:02
  the last moment.
• 17:03
  Waiting for first base.
• 17:04
  The first base run of the Phillies will be John.
• 17:07
  Now nothing in two stretch.
• 17:08
  The pitch.
• 17:09
  Swinging a foul.
• 17:10
  Upstairs toward the right near the sky deck.
• 17:13
  Around the stadiums all the top as high as none I are.
• 17:17
  Behind our Gillette microphones.
• 17:19
  There's an extra field deck near the superstructure to the right.
• 17:23
  It's used a lot for football.
• 17:24
  The Eagles play out here.
• 17:26
  But on the hall the regular press box just papers around midway from first to round third.
• 17:32
  Nothing in two count on granny Hender.
• 17:34
  Deep in the box open stance.
• 17:36
  Infield still looking for that double play.
• 17:38
  Coleman and Resudo exchanging glances around midway.
• 17:41
  Ratchey set in the stretch.
• 17:42
  John's leading off.
• 17:43
  The pitch.
• 17:44
  Swinging a short fly ball to the right field.
• 17:48
  Bow racing in.
• 17:49
  Outflogging under.
• 17:50
  Gramps for the put out.
• 17:51
  Tougan and Bauer has hauled both of them in.
• 17:58
  Abby Seminick.
• 18:00
  Seminick had 24 home runs per season.
• 18:05
  And considering the fact that he got a very late start due to the death of his mother.
• 18:10
  And the fact that he was a holdout for a while.
• 18:13
  Compiled an amazing record.
• 18:14
  His best in the major leagues.
• 18:16
  288 batting average.
• 18:17
  As Mel told you, he's been favoring a very badly injured left ankle.
• 18:21
  So at the close of the season it was rained on him.
• 18:25
  And it crashed at the plate of the polo grounds in New York.
• 18:29
  Go one to nothing.
• 18:30
  New York over the field.
• 18:31
  Last of the fifth.
• 18:33
  And as interesting an opener as you could find.
• 18:37
  Jones edging off first.
• 18:40
  Ratchie check delivers.
• 18:41
  Swinging a slow hit ground foul just to the right of the plate.
• 18:44
  And like a cat bearer as after it.
• 18:46
  Constantly umpire.
• 18:47
  Johnco Conlon who keeps it in play.
• 18:50
  Johnco was an American league performer in the outfield for the Chicago Whiteback.
• 18:54
  And now is a National League umpire.
• 18:59
  Nothing in one.
• 19:01
  Ratchie rubbing up the wall.
• 19:05
  Set to go.
• 19:07
  He has a lot of time on a rule.
• 19:08
  1-1 margin now.
• 19:09
  Very good.
• 19:10
  So close.
• 19:11
  Pitching is in great.
• 19:12
  Infield over the Dutch now.
• 19:13
  Push back a little bit.
• 19:14
  Pacing seminix.
• 19:15
  Set to go.
• 19:16
  Ratchie pitches.
• 19:17
  Inside hard.
• 19:18
  Ball one.
• 19:19
  One ball, one strike.
• 19:20
  Two gone, one on for the Phillies.
• 19:21
  Last half of the fifth inning.
• 19:22
  For the Yankees leading one to nothing.
• 19:23
  The Sun is trying its job.
• 19:24
  John has come out here.
• 19:25
  North side of Philadelphia.
• 19:26
  1-1.
• 19:36
  The pitch.
• 19:37
  Swinging a shot single through the hole.
• 19:38
  The left field.
• 19:39
  In between Rosidog and third baseman Bobby Brown.
• 19:40
  Zipped out the left field.
• 19:41
  For the Phillies second hit of the ball game.
• 19:42
  Holding a second base.
• 19:43
  Willie John.
• 19:44
  Well, it took the Phillies four and one third innings to try solving big, big, ratchie.
• 19:59
  Funderous right-hander.
• 20:00
  Of the World Champion.
• 20:01
  And now they're put two together.
• 20:02
  Those sandwiched between a couple of outs.
• 20:03
  Two gone and two off.
• 20:04
  Medium pass.
• 20:05
  Donner at second.
• 20:17
  Slow runner at first.
• 20:18
  And the batter is Goliath.
• 20:19
  Who's sent.
• 20:20
  Woodling back.
• 20:21
  Caught the wall in left field for a putout in the third.
• 20:22
  Swinging and taking a foul.
• 20:23
  Took a vicious cut that time.
• 20:24
  An umpire, uh, Kamlin, got it very, very badly.
• 20:25
  He had a wrist and right forearm and time at four.
• 20:26
  That's the second time this afternoon that we've had something resembling injuries.
• 20:27
  And Jack O, a game performer, puts it though he is very badly injured.
• 20:42
  Now that ball was hit with such impact it knocked the indicator out of his right paw.
• 20:46
  At this juncture, we pause 10 seconds for station identification.
• 20:50
  This is the mutual broadcasting system.
• 21:05
  Back at Shy Park in Philadelphia.
• 21:07
  Gene Kelly with Mel Allen on Gillette's Cavalcade of Sports.
• 21:10
  The 1950 World Series.
• 21:12
  Since Goliath, upon the injury to the umpire Kamlin, I was up there with two runners on.
• 21:19
  The tying run at second base.
• 21:21
  The potential lead runner at first base.
• 21:23
  Stoyer sent the hurry call to the field full time in left field.
• 21:26
  Where, right hander Russ Meyer who has been heating up throughout the struggle.
• 21:30
  When, uh, Constanti showed some signs of ineffectiveness in the early part of the game.
• 21:35
  Began selling to bullpen receiver Ken Sylvester himself, a former Yankee.
• 21:40
  Trainer Frank Leitchek and Gus March came out from the, uh, field and Yanke's dugout.
• 21:45
  To look over at Jack O.
• 21:47
  And, uh, Jack O broke a left shoulder blade.
• 21:53
  Uh, he's trying to go toward the field's dugout right now.
• 21:56
  The charge gives him a hand and I think only in a World Series now,
• 21:59
  would you find the umpire being given a round of applause down there.
• 22:03
  Jack O's been a game performer and actually operated with a broken toe on his right foot.
• 22:08
  And a butchered clavicle, left side, midway through the season.
• 22:12
  And yet did not miss a day.
• 22:13
  And he's been some performers out here.
• 22:17
  I think he got himself a web of selling saws as well as a quick drink of water.
• 22:22
  I don't think John Govansk will miss this series anymore than the ball players and our broadcasting crew up here.
• 22:27
  So he's going to go to work again.
• 22:29
  That was a ticking saw which slaps off Yogi Berra's mask.
• 22:32
  And then went right on to, uh, the lower right forearm of a umpire timelapse.
• 22:39
  Now notice that the ivory, uh, indicator for balls and strikes was not going to be far.
• 22:45
  Set to go again.
• 22:46
  Fills now in a threat.
• 22:48
  Their first real one of the game.
• 22:50
  Nothing in one count on Goliath.
• 22:52
  Low average hitter, 234.
• 22:54
  Long ball hitter though.
• 22:56
  Jones off second, Seminig off first.
• 22:58
  Sachi set, delivering.
• 22:59
  Taking high, inside, ball one.
• 23:01
  Pass ball.
• 23:03
  One ball, one strike.
• 23:05
  Two gone.
• 23:06
  Last of the fifth, Yankees leading, one to nothing.
• 23:09
  Done now is, uh, almost coming out.
• 23:12
  Not the best weather of the day so far.
• 23:14
  We're actually working quickly.
• 23:15
  Delivering.
• 23:17
  Outside, ball two.
• 23:19
  Now, uh, you can understand of course, readily.
• 23:22
  Fymeir is going fairly...
• 23:26
  ...shoddly in the bullpen.
• 23:28
  Good Goliath get on, uh, they might, or might not have a pinch hitter for a constatis.
• 23:35
  Two on one, the fifth.
• 23:37
  Swinging method.
• 23:39
  Strike two, back ball, delivered high outside.
• 23:43
  Two ball, two strikes out.
• 23:45
  Goliath originally hailed from Yatesborough, uh, Pennsylvania.
• 23:50
  But when, uh, Mel Tordier became a Benedict in August,
• 23:53
  he decided to move over where his wife had resided.
• 23:55
  He's leaving Ohio, so both Ohio and Pennsylvania claim this time today.
• 23:59
  Bare count, even up.
• 24:00
  Two balls, two strikes, two gone, two on.
• 24:02
  Big pitch.
• 24:03
  Swing the method.
• 24:05
  Stuck him out.
• 24:06
  The payoff got Goliath for Yankee's third strikeout out of all game.
• 24:10
  And a great clutch-picking job by the big right-hatter.
• 24:13
  So on Goliath going down, swinging,
• 24:17
  the Phillies are retired in the last of the fifth inning with no runs.
• 24:21
  Two hits, their first of the game.
• 24:23
  No errors by the Yankees and two fills.
• 24:26
  Jones and Seminix left on.
• 24:29
  Five inning totals.
• 24:30
  New York, one run earned, three hits, no errors, three left.
• 24:35
  The Phillies, no runs, two hits, no errors, and two left on.
• 24:40
  And now at the midway point in the ballgame, the sun comes out.
• 24:43
  So more or less bless this ballgame.
• 24:46
  That's a personal message from Dane Nature.
• 24:48
  I'm throwing an interval pen right now.
• 24:51
  Well, I can see that Meyer has sat down and can stand here throwing to the reserve catcher.
• 24:55
  The Phillies, uh, Dutch Lopata, big boy from Detroit.
• 24:59
  Manager Stengel is going to send up the Yankee Clippers.
• 25:02
  Joe DeMargio to be followed by big John Meis and then Bobby Brown.
• 25:07
  Who's double, eventually turned into the only one of the ballgames.
• 25:12
  Got a good-looking friend of ours sitting down.
• 25:14
  We're going to talk with, uh, very shortly.
• 25:16
  Since Seminix was on the base pass at the time,
• 25:19
  he was a bit too late coming out of the dugout.
• 25:21
  And now the fills square away on defense.
• 25:23
  On DeMargio, full court left.
• 25:34
  DeMargio, that's a mid-open stance.
• 25:36
  A pitch to him, outside low.
• 25:38
  Well, one on your total, make that correction from three left on base to five.
• 25:43
  Yankee's got two left on in the first inning and three on the third.
• 25:46
  One on O. Pitching.
• 25:49
  Law two, low and away.
• 25:51
  That was Cincinnati's pet delivery, a slider.
• 25:54
  It is not a slider in the popular conception of pitches to try it,
• 25:58
  or what they call the old-fashioned high school curve.
• 26:01
  We'll try explanations later.
• 26:02
  So, you know, strike one goal.
• 26:04
  Now, that slider came in a bit high,
• 26:06
  but got the letters on the outside of y'all.
• 26:09
  And it's now two balls and one strike.
• 26:11
  First man up, couple.
• 26:14
  Cincinnati in the motion, selling.
• 26:16
  Swinging the thing.
• 26:19
  He threw him tight that time, and y'all tried a pull.
• 26:22
  He missed it.
• 26:23
  Strike two, two and two.
• 26:26
  On DeX, Johnny Myers, just the army, on DeX, trickle to the right.
• 26:30
  Two to pitch, can't stand a delivery.
• 26:32
  Swinging a half, flung on, uh,
• 26:35
  ball that time, thought the left,
• 26:37
  which lays you to self-back toward the field's dugout.
• 26:40
  Still two and two, new ball in play.
• 26:42
  Score one to nothing, New York.
• 26:45
  Infield moved over, almost on a shift since Goliad is at a sharp angle at second.
• 26:50
  Two punts by Cincinnati, selling.
• 26:52
  Low and outside.
• 26:54
  The slider missed the mark, ball three.
• 26:56
  Three and two.
• 26:58
  High pitch for Frankie Corsetti, I should say,
• 27:01
  he rebounded around the arena here.
• 27:06
  Full count.
• 27:07
  Big pitch.
• 27:08
  Swinging, aligned drive, deep guard left going foul,
• 27:11
  to the upper stands and left.
• 27:13
  That was just about the best hit ball of the game.
• 27:16
  But it went foul.
• 27:17
  And the Yankee Clipper really leaned into that one,
• 27:20
  cutting from the heels.
• 27:22
  DiMaggio, though 35, has made a grand comeback.
• 27:26
  Remember, he was hitting 240 around this season,
• 27:28
  and wound up about the 300 mark.
• 27:30
  Again, three and two.
• 27:31
  Conscendi throws.
• 27:32
  Inside, ball four.
• 27:34
  The ball broke down well, but way inside,
• 27:36
  and Conscendi walks his fourth man of the game.
• 27:39
  One intentionally, and that's the second time DiMaggio's been fat.
• 27:42
  He was put on, you remember?
• 27:44
  And the third inning.
• 27:49
  Two times woodling his walk, two times DiMaggio's walk.
• 27:52
  Now, the big catch, John Lies, butting the standards,
• 27:55
  0 for 2.
• 27:56
  Slow pitch, high inside, to the front of his first statement.
• 28:00
  Ball one.
• 28:01
  He flyed to right in the first, and popped out to third.
• 28:04
  With Rion in the third.
• 28:08
  Conscendi in the sixth, DiMaggio leading off.
• 28:10
  Nobody out. Pitching, swinging.
• 28:13
  A twister, throw a third base, staying there.
• 28:16
  Jones, 100, pounds his glove, makes the catch.
• 28:19
  Lies popped out, the third baseman, Willie Jones.
• 28:22
  One away, and DiMaggio kicks back in at first.
• 28:28
  Now, Bob Brown.
• 28:30
  He has the one extra base hit in this ball game.
• 28:33
  A zipping double, just inside the line,
• 28:35
  rolling down, throw the ball pen, in left field.
• 28:38
  Weatherfield, now in ball works out, in release.
• 28:42
  Brown has a choke grip on the back, setting the standards.
• 28:45
  Pitching him, strike one ball.
• 28:48
  That was a school ball, down and away to a left-handed swinger.
• 28:51
  Nothing in one.
• 28:53
  Bob, fly to right in the second.
• 28:56
  And then he's flung on the first pitch,
• 28:58
  thrown by Conscendi for the double and the fourth.
• 29:00
  Score one to nothing, New York, top of the sixth.
• 29:02
  DiMaggio at first base, one away.
• 29:05
  Nothing in one count.
• 29:07
  Conscendi now takes a little bit more time.
• 29:09
  Quick throw to first, and DiMaggio's back in plenty of time.
• 29:15
  Jones was moving in that time.
• 29:17
  They play him fairly shallow, straight away hit him.
• 29:20
  Pitching, way high and inside.
• 29:23
  Score one.
• 29:25
  Though Conscendi has walked four men,
• 29:28
  he hasn't really displayed bad control.
• 29:32
  That hook of his has to be around the plate.
• 29:35
  And it's a matter of standard.
• 29:37
  One-on-one. Pitching, swinging, a line drive toward right,
• 29:41
  and it's moving in, and make surprise.
• 29:46
  That ball started out as if it was going to drop down and kept rising.
• 29:50
  The wind now is variable, and though for the most part
• 29:53
  we had a brief breeze blowing in from left,
• 29:55
  it has died down somewhat with the sun coming out,
• 29:58
  although it still favors right field hitters.
• 30:01
  Two men out on Brown's line drive toward right.
• 30:05
  DiMaggio still at first base, and Henry Barr,
• 30:08
  who hit the longest wall of the game,
• 30:10
  for a deep put out in center field,
• 30:12
  at least 400 feet away.
• 30:15
  Back in the fourth inning, 0-2.
• 30:17
  Ball one high inside, slow curve.
• 30:20
  Henry bounced out short the first,
• 30:23
  while the second out in the second,
• 30:25
  and fly to Ashburn Deepen Center in the fourth.
• 30:27
  He was one of the Yankee 300 hitters during the 1950 campaign.
• 30:31
  One-on-one.
• 30:32
  And then he throws, tanks flings, a grand cutter to third,
• 30:35
  so the second for the fourth, in time.
• 30:38
  And the side is retired.
• 30:40
  Final out for from the top of the sixth for the New York Yankees
• 30:43
  went third base in Jones, the second base in Mike Goliath,
• 30:46
  and in the sixth for New York, no runs, no hits,
• 30:49
  no field errors, and one man left on.
• 30:51
  At the end of five and a half, score, the Yankees won,
• 30:54
  the Phillies, nothing.
• 30:57
  John DeMarchio says that Gillette's super speed racer
• 31:00
  gives him the flickeest skates of his life.
• 31:03
  Ralph Kiner calls it the handiest racer he has ever used.
• 31:06
  Yes?
• 31:07
  And here is Eddie Robinson, outstanding first baseman
• 31:10
  of the Chicago White Sox, who says,
• 31:12
  Man, if you want to race with an easy racer,
• 31:15
  get Gillette's super speed racer.
• 31:17
  Believe me, it's topped in every way.
• 31:20
  Tell us more, Eddie.
• 31:21
  Well, in a nutshell, it's beautifully designed
• 31:24
  and well made, not easy to use.
• 31:27
  Particularly, it gives it the thralliest gave ever.
• 31:30
  Man, the Gillette's super speed racer changes blades instantly,
• 31:34
  swings instantly, and skins whiskers off for the sailing.
• 31:37
  You'll enjoy a better looking, more refreshing case by far.
• 31:41
  Ask for the Gillette's super speed racer set.
• 31:43
  You get the racer, a 10 blade Gillette dispenser,
• 31:46
  and a serviceable styrene travel case.
• 31:49
  A big $75 value for only a dollar.
• 31:57
  Jim Concetti, who the boy's on the club for routine.
• 32:02
  This fellow has an odd outlook on things,
• 32:05
  a very effective one, I should say, concerning his record this season.
• 32:09
  He believes that nobody should make a mistake,
• 32:11
  at least of all Jim Concetti,
• 32:13
  and his record just about bears out,
• 32:15
  but he doesn't make very many others.
• 32:17
  He has given up the double to Bob Brown and the fly ball score the one run,
• 32:22
  that makes the margin no difference in this ball game.
• 32:25
  Jim bounced out weekly to the mound in the third inning,
• 32:27
  all for one batting right-handed.
• 32:29
  Rashi set to work, Vick draws, Jim swings, and it was strike one.
• 32:34
  Rashi, they tell me, had a bit of arm difficulty
• 32:37
  toward the close of the campaign,
• 32:39
  but he doesn't look as though there's anything wrong with him today.
• 32:42
  Nothing in one pitch, swinging nothing,
• 32:44
  and even faster balls, strike two.
• 32:52
  Rashi has fan free, and here comes the sun, it's beautiful.
• 32:55
  Nothing in two pitch, throwing, high and away.
• 32:58
  Well, when Rashi's control has been so great,
• 33:01
  that chunky Yogi Berra has virtually caught him in a rocking chair this afternoon.
• 33:06
  The Yankees lead one to nothing,
• 33:08
  and those goose eggs are galore for the Phillies right now.
• 33:11
  Last half of the sixth.
• 33:14
  One and two, leaning forward.
• 33:16
  Big pitch, swing, swinging, nothing, stuck him out.
• 33:20
  Ball appeared to have a bit of a wrinkle on it,
• 33:22
  and comes down to go down as Rashi's fourth strike out, Vick.
• 33:26
  One away.
• 33:33
  Now, of each cup are the Phillies batting array,
• 33:35
  any wakers, with one man gone and nobody on.
• 33:39
  Last half of the sixth.
• 33:42
  They are calling for the sunsets out there,
• 33:44
  especially Coleman at second,
• 33:46
  and Hank Bauer and Wright, and I think the Margin Center.
• 33:48
  Virtually every outfield post is a sunfield here at Shy Park.
• 33:51
  Any wakers for that are, time call for the morn.
• 33:54
  And more specter being brought out.
• 33:56
  Woodling, who became slightly injured,
• 34:01
  is moving in from left field as the Yankee Batboy races out.
• 34:05
  There's just no guard from the sun.
• 34:07
  Late afternoon, the Wicked Rays come down over the roof where we sit,
• 34:13
  and the Wright Theater really has a tough time.
• 34:15
  Actually, the Rays are more severe.
• 34:17
  I could say maybe about an hour from now,
• 34:19
  or even 45 minutes, and they would be right now.
• 34:21
  But here is a beautiful day right now.
• 34:23
  So it's still a bit cool when continuing to blow toward right.
• 34:26
  Yankees leaving one to nothing, first game, 1950 World Series.
• 34:30
  Last of the sixth to go now, Rashi picking out any wakers.
• 34:33
  Hicks inside, ball watch.
• 34:38
  Eddie fouled out the barra, and the first, that was when Woodling was hurt,
• 34:42
  down around 3-2 on him, and then he got grounded out to Jerry Coleman
• 34:45
  at 2nd in the 4th, over 2, swings left handed.
• 34:49
  Rashi throwing, high, ball 2, a fast ball.
• 34:56
  It's an amazing thing what they've done with the barra.
• 34:59
  They came up with just a douch-clumsy kid.
• 35:03
  Bill Dickie worked on him.
• 35:04
  There was never any question about his hitting.
• 35:07
  And I might say he looks mighty grateful down there.
• 35:10
  2-0.
• 35:13
  Big one.
• 35:14
  Crips is good, the strike went well.
• 35:16
  Take was on, and it's two balls, one strike.
• 35:20
  Browns laying cautiously at third base.
• 35:23
  Well, there is nobody on.
• 35:25
  The outside moves in on the infield, and the outfield generally is straight away toward left.
• 35:30
  2-1.
• 35:32
  Ball free, low on the way, changed up on him.
• 35:38
  Giving you an idea as to Rashi's effectiveness,
• 35:42
  this is but the second time in the game he has worked the count of feet of this,
• 35:46
  and they only thought of doing that before.
• 35:48
  Wise wakers, 3-2 and the first.
• 35:50
  Now he's 3-1.
• 35:51
  The couple is two, he throws, ball four.
• 35:58
  There was a high outside pitch,
• 36:00
  and the Fils have their first base runner on via the watch.
• 36:06
  Since then he has passed for DiMaggio once intentionally.
• 36:11
  The Fils first got to Rashi in the fifth,
• 36:14
  but their rally came too late.
• 36:17
  Jones and Seminix singles.
• 36:20
  Now a man on.
• 36:22
  One down.
• 36:24
  Yankee's leading, one to nothing.
• 36:26
  And the infield as the hole moves in on speedy Rishi Ashburn,
• 36:29
  batting left handed.
• 36:30
  0-2.
• 36:32
  Strike one's all.
• 36:33
  Vick caught the corner of the strike zone,
• 36:35
  outside to the left handed batter.
• 36:38
  Rishi, bun it out, pitch it up first,
• 36:40
  in the first, and then lined up right to DiMaggio in the fourth.
• 36:45
  0-2.
• 36:47
  Now well once I count on Rich,
• 36:50
  toe head from Kildon, Nebraska.
• 36:54
  A G-Wiz boy.
• 36:56
  G-Wiz, G-Wiz.
• 36:58
  Isn't that great?
• 37:00
  Constantly he's smile all the time.
• 37:02
  Nothing in one.
• 37:05
  Pitching.
• 37:06
  Wide for one.
• 37:10
  Rashi has paced himself very well,
• 37:13
  and I noticed that while he was quick pitching,
• 37:15
  he was the most part early.
• 37:17
  Now with runners on, he realizes that just with a one run margin,
• 37:21
  he's got to be charges, but not two charges.
• 37:24
  They have moved up very much more so
• 37:27
  than they would be on the ordinary batter,
• 37:29
  since Ashburn has shot out of a gun
• 37:31
  along the first baseline.
• 37:33
  1-1 pitch.
• 37:34
  Swinging a blooper to short center field.
• 37:36
  DiMaggio gets a good jump on the ball,
• 37:38
  charges in, counts as far as makes the catch.
• 37:40
  That's all for Rishi Ashburn.
• 37:42
  Short fly ball of center,
• 37:43
  and Giotto Maggio.
• 37:45
  Two gone.
• 37:46
  Waco's holding it first.
• 37:48
  Sixth Settler.
• 37:50
  He received the most tremendous salvation
• 37:53
  when his name was announced
• 37:55
  over the public address system at the start of the game.
• 37:57
  But he hasn't done much.
• 37:58
  He's bounced out to Rashi, and he's stuck out swinging.
• 38:01
  On a fine inside pitch to him,
• 38:04
  with a count one and two back on the court.
• 38:07
  Waco's remains at first.
• 38:09
  Door one to nothing, Yankee's last of the six. Rashi's second.
• 38:13
  Swinging a high pop short first.
• 38:16
  According to the ball,
• 38:18
  Johnny Myers right near the back, under it, and makes it.
• 38:21
  An easy pop fly retires the Phillies,
• 38:24
  without being made by John Myers at first base.
• 38:27
  Last of the sixth inning, no runs.
• 38:29
  No field hit, no Yankee errors,
• 38:31
  and one field head-wakers left arm.
• 38:34
  Six innings, Yankee's one run.
• 38:38
  Three hits, no errors.
• 38:40
  Six left, Phillies, no runs.
• 38:43
  Two hits, no errors.
• 38:45
  Three left arm.
• 38:47
  Well, now did you have any idea that the pitching would be a sharp?
• 38:50
  Particularly considering the fact that Consanti
• 38:53
  was a reliever all season.
• 38:56
  Well, I had a good idea that Consanti,
• 38:59
  if he had his control, would be difficult for the Yankees, for this reason.
• 39:03
  And it's the same reason that Eddie Sawyer started him today, among others.
• 39:07
  Of course, the absence of a great guy like Kurt Simmons
• 39:10
  who hurts the Philadelphia pitching stance.
• 39:13
  But the other reason being that during the course of the regular season,
• 39:17
  it was a pitcher who threw the type of stuff that Consanti does
• 39:21
  that could beat the Yankees better than anyone else.
• 39:24
  And as long as he's had his control pretty well today,
• 39:27
  he figured he might be tough.
• 39:29
  And as far as Ranci is concerned,
• 39:31
  he always has been a great pitcher,
• 39:33
  and one, as in the case of most pitchers,
• 39:35
  he's going to be a tough captain.
• 39:37
  Of course, nobody's hit many great shakes today now.
• 39:40
  That's for sure.
• 39:42
  The armed forces radio services carrying this broadcast around the world today.
• 39:47
  As moving into the top of the seventh inning,
• 39:50
  a stretch rain for the Yankee fans, Jerry Coleman,
• 39:52
  over to batting right handed, and he looks outside.
• 39:56
  Want to know.
• 39:58
  The fellas in Tokyo, Berlin, Vienna, Tripoli, Labrador, Guam, many others.
• 40:03
  Having this broadcast relayed to you via shortwave signal.
• 40:06
  Hope you're enjoying it.
• 40:08
  Want to know.
• 40:10
  Well, up in the box, Coleman, Consanti throws ball two.
• 40:13
  Four of the strikes are on but below it.
• 40:16
  Two and 0.
• 40:19
  Jerry, of course, has the honor of batting in the only run of the ball game.
• 40:23
  He sends this little back deep enough for Brown, the third to score,
• 40:27
  with one away and a fourth inning.
• 40:29
  And that's all she's written.
• 40:31
  One to nothing New York.
• 40:33
  Two to nothing pitch by Consanti.
• 40:35
  Strike one's all.
• 40:36
  Slow breaking pitch.
• 40:37
  Throw the outside.
• 40:38
  Two and one.
• 40:42
  Hanner deeps throw to talking it up at shortstop.
• 40:45
  Both in fields, a lot of pepper today.
• 40:47
  Two and one.
• 40:49
  Spring, slow hit ground wall.
• 40:50
  One hop taken by Jones, the third.
• 40:52
  Throw to first in time, but the throw was high and wide.
• 40:55
  And steady Eddie Wakers had to kind of dance off the bag,
• 40:58
  moving to his own left that time to make sure to put out.
• 41:01
  Throw to first, one away, and now ranches.
• 41:03
  You can expect some cheers for this fellow.
• 41:14
  Here at Guy Park, it's predominantly a Philadelphia strong today.
• 41:18
  So that the applause was a little bit better than token.
• 41:21
  But there's no question about the job he's got.
• 41:24
  He has a hit and two trips.
• 41:26
  Right handed, well up in the box.
• 41:28
  Consanti set, firing.
• 41:30
  And it's high inside, well watched.
• 41:37
  One and all, one guy, nobody armed.
• 41:41
  Pitching, swinging, slow hit, ground foul.
• 41:44
  George Frankie Corsetti, at third base.
• 41:50
  A lot of fellows look excited for said he was given a whistle for a voice.
• 41:53
  I think any wigwagger has in the game today.
• 41:56
  And what a great ball player he was.
• 41:59
  He's been in a lot of these before.
• 42:01
  One on one.
• 42:03
  Rashi waiting, Consanti throwing, swinging.
• 42:05
  A zipping foul for the lower deck in right field.
• 42:08
  Strike two, out of play.
• 42:12
  On deck, Gene Woodling, who at least is probably the most saddle-starred warrior here today.
• 42:18
  As far as this game is concerned.
• 42:21
  He ran right into the concrete.
• 42:24
  Out and left early in the game.
• 42:26
  One and two, big pitch, swinging.
• 42:28
  A ball hit a long third base line, staying fair.
• 42:30
  Obelid Jones, long throw to first.
• 42:32
  Not entirely dropped the ball, and it may be an error on the throw.
• 42:36
  Since an error on the throw, since the ball was low in the dirt.
• 42:41
  I think Jones was anticipating a foul.
• 42:44
  Well he had to hurry his throw, which was too short of a bag but low.
• 42:48
  And Wacus had to dig it out and then drop it.
• 42:51
  That is the first error out of all games.
• 42:53
  You charge it on the throw to Willie Jones, at third.
• 42:56
  So Rashi has a life.
• 43:00
  If you are keeping score on a radio scorecard, it would be error on five.
• 43:08
  One down, one arm.
• 43:09
  Lead off, man Woodling.
• 43:10
  Two walks.
• 43:12
  And a ground ball play.
• 43:14
  First base in Wacus to pitch a Consanti.
• 43:17
  Jim lost him both in the first and third.
• 43:20
  Very odd stance, feet close together, even about spending left handed.
• 43:24
  Pitching.
• 43:25
  Like one ball, that ball broke away from the left handed.
• 43:31
  Now with a seven, this ball game has given the fans little to cheer about as far as the heavy artillery.
• 43:38
  Just the one run.
• 43:39
  Wings, images.
• 43:41
  That was a real down breaking pitch.
• 43:43
  And he put all of his worst to New York, same behind that one, this Consanti.
• 43:48
  He threw hard.
• 43:49
  And though the ball did not travel fast, it certainly broke well.
• 43:52
  A dazzler.
• 43:55
  Nothing in two.
• 43:56
  At first Rashi.
• 43:58
  Pitching.
• 43:59
  Swinging.
• 44:00
  A line drive toward left center field, in there for a base hit.
• 44:02
  Maybe more.
• 44:03
  Ashburn charging the ball makes a fine play to hold Rashi at second base.
• 44:07
  He had a charge to his own right and made a fine throw.
• 44:10
  About Ashburn, the league felt that he had the weakest throwing arm of all center fielders in the National League.
• 44:16
  But he pulled, of course, especially in that great play in the climactic Brooklyn game.
• 44:21
  That if not horribly strong, certainly accurate.
• 44:24
  It held Rashi at second.
• 44:26
  Now you can see where the error figures in this ball game.
• 44:30
  It moves Rashi along the second base.
• 44:32
  And of course Woodling is the base runner at first.
• 44:36
  That is what the fourth Yankee hit.
• 44:39
  Now Scooter-Razuto, Pepperpot shortstop adding right-handed.
• 44:43
  Outside low ball one.
• 44:45
  There isn't much strikes on when you throw to this fellow.
• 44:48
  Both end activity now for the field and left field.
• 44:51
  Right-hander, Russ Meyer.
• 44:53
  One ball on the right hand, two Yankees on.
• 44:55
  Rashi at second.
• 44:56
  Woodling at first.
• 44:58
  Pitching and swinging.
• 45:00
  A foul out of play, which goes upstairs along the first base line.
• 45:07
  I noticed that Phil stepped back that time and tried to punch the ball toward right.
• 45:11
  In an effort to hit behind the runner, particularly the man at second base.
• 45:15
  Rashi can run pretty well, big fine athlete.
• 45:18
  One-to-one count on Phil, stepping up.
• 45:20
  Time for all shadows of the first base stand now folding on the infield.
• 45:25
  That's the field is really sunlit.
• 45:27
  One-to-one pitch, swinging, ground ball, foul by injured.
• 45:31
  Boy, that was really a thriller that time.
• 45:34
  And the crowd you could hear held his breath as it rolled just into the sky of the bag.
• 45:38
  Along the third base.
• 45:40
  They don't waste too much time with baseballs that go foul in the World Series.
• 45:44
  They keep that fresh, hard side in play, consistently.
• 45:48
  And then he goes to the Razzone, he's starting to show some signs of work at least.
• 45:53
  Flushing perspiration from his ground, of course his glasses will fog up at times.
• 45:58
  Getting a little bit more warmed on there than usual.
• 46:01
  Big pitch coming up, he touches, he blows, he swings, a high hop fly,
• 46:06
  Jones moving near the bag, automatic put out, the automatic is on, and Jones will get set at fourth.
• 46:11
  With runners on at first and second at the time, it was a little cut.
• 46:15
  It was only one away.
• 46:16
  So the automatic was on anyway, Jones squeezed it for the second out.
• 46:21
  Yogi Berra.
• 46:25
  This fellow is getting to be the Vince Barnett of his day in baseball.
• 46:29
  I think he's more quoted than any other ball player today as far as the...
• 46:34
  In fact, I particularly like that one about insurance down here in spring training now.
• 46:39
  I think he and Joe Page are talking about...
• 46:42
  Well, we'll leave that one for the book sometime.
• 46:45
  That's one of those dinners after the season's over.
• 46:48
  Two guns, left handed batter.
• 46:51
  Over three, deep to right on a fly to left and a foul to catch.
• 46:55
  Inside low.
• 46:57
  Yogi was consistently above the 300 mark all season.
• 47:02
  And very heavy in the run production department.
• 47:05
  Two guns, two on, out of the seven.
• 47:08
  Big pitch, high and away.
• 47:10
  Wall two.
• 47:12
  All the foul, Meyer is going through the stretch routine in the filled bullpen in left field.
• 47:19
  In case he can stand to get himself in any further well of hot water.
• 47:23
  Rashi continues to hang on a second.
• 47:26
  Very loose.
• 47:28
  And at first base, Woodling, who got the four Yankee hits.
• 47:34
  Nothing in two caps.
• 47:36
  On Larry Berra.
• 47:38
  He takes second, goes to the play, swings a zipping foul to the lower stand in left field.
• 47:45
  Strike one, ball on a play.
• 47:54
  The tenth moment now.
• 47:56
  You see the pitching has been so tremendous here.
• 47:59
  The one run margin.
• 48:01
  Why it looks bigger all the time as the game she rolls along.
• 48:04
  Some insurance by the Yankees now.
• 48:06
  Good eyes as you see.
• 48:08
  Two and one.
• 48:09
  Big pitch, swinging a ground ball right to the acres.
• 48:12
  He's going to make the play himself and go.
• 48:18
  That's the third out on the seventh inning for New York.
• 48:21
  Which was set down with no runs, a hit.
• 48:24
  An error by the third baseman, Willie Jones on a draw on Rashi's ball.
• 48:28
  And two Yankees left on.
• 48:30
  Six and a half innings.
• 48:31
  Storer, New York Yankees.
• 48:32
  One.
• 48:34
  The Philadelphia Phillies.
• 48:36
  Nothing.
• 48:39
  Fans to enjoy utmost skating satisfaction day in and day out.
• 48:43
  Take the advice of Eddie Robinson of the Chicago White Sox.
• 48:46
  And get a modern Gillette super speed razor.
• 48:49
  In genius one piece construction, makes this the most convenient type of razor money can buy.
• 48:55
  The Gillette super speed razor is a precision instrument, not a gadget.
• 48:59
  It changes blades instantly, cleans instantly, and shaves like a charm.
• 49:04
  There's nothing to take apart or put together.
• 49:06
  Nothing to jam or clog.
• 49:08
  Nothing to waste your time or try your patience.
• 49:11
  You get slick looking, comfortable shaves and save money too.
• 49:15
  For Gillette's double edges, mean double economy.
• 49:18
  For the biggest shaving value ever offered, buy a Gillette super speed razor.
• 49:23
  You get it with a 10 blade Gillette dispenser, and you get a 10 blade.
• 49:28
  Gillette dispenser and a serviceable styrene travel case.
• 49:32
  All in all, a dollar 75 cent value for only a dollar.
• 49:41
  With Mel Allen, Mr. Gene Kelly, in Gillette's cable caters sport,
• 49:45
  the first game of the 1950s Wales series, which has rolled along in a tremendous picture's fuel for 6.5 minutes.
• 49:51
  Before the first batter up, and the last of the seven for the fails,
• 49:54
  applause 10 seconds before station identification.
• 49:58
  This is the nitro broadcasting system.
• 50:14
  Like a child part, the applause and cadence starts.
• 50:21
  The background mostly still goes to the first two games here at Sky Park,
• 50:26
  next three, and the third of the three at the Yankee Stadium if necessary.
• 50:31
  And of course, the series goes beyond five games back in Philadelphia.
• 50:37
  Dillonis, who was the leading hitter of the fails throughout 1950s,
• 50:43
  and the big RBI man hasn't done much so far.
• 50:47
  Alvin made a fine play on him in the second, Gillette going to his own left to throw him out,
• 50:52
  and Al lofted the right field in routine fashion back in the fifth inning.
• 50:56
  He is open to the fails that were two singles, those by Jones and Seminick in the fifth inning.
• 51:01
  That he sets those in his low and drive low on.
• 51:06
  All in all, the fails have not been a tremendous hitting club this season,
• 51:11
  but invariably they have come from behind.
• 51:15
  Thank you to them. Pat on a full hitter toward left.
• 51:19
  Want to know, why ball two?
• 51:26
  We're actually completely on Earth.
• 51:29
  All the crowd roars on almost every delivery now,
• 51:33
  decides to take his own time and roll up the ball a little bit.
• 51:37
  I could have killed him, loosened some self up.
• 51:41
  Two and nothing to set, going, swinging a foul.
• 51:45
  Went for the cripple and picked it back on the screen behind the plate, spike one.
• 51:49
  Nobody out or nobody on, last half of the seventh, and the story remains, New York won, but there is nothing.
• 51:56
  DeMar Gio was strolling around out in center field, very unconcerned about it all.
• 52:02
  That ball meets that, though, he's on the run.
• 52:07
  Two and one cap, going, swinging, a blooper toward right, now getting high,
• 52:13
  now with a lot of room, a lot of time, moves in, under, and makes it.
• 52:17
  And it flies out to right. One down.
• 52:22
  Puttin' headjones who has one of these two singles, accumulated by the field,
• 52:27
  not much of an accumulation, let's start, and standing on the other hand,
• 52:33
  has allowed the Yankees four, one a big double by Bob Brown,
• 52:37
  around which the Yankees scoring centered in the fourth inning.
• 52:41
  That's when the run was scored. Jones fast right handed, even a box.
• 52:46
  Now she set the works, delivering.
• 52:49
  Strike one's all, fine pass ball.
• 52:52
  Uniquely, Jones was discovered by a former Yankee organization man, John Knees,
• 52:57
  who is now director of player personnel of the field.
• 53:00
  Nothing in one.
• 53:03
  Wide and high on a second pass ball, ball one.
• 53:07
  One ball, one strike, one go on, nobody on.
• 53:10
  Go on to nothing, New York.
• 53:15
  Closing for the sign, some error.
• 53:18
  The target up, the pitch, swings in it to, strike two.
• 53:28
  Even Jones was underlots in the second half of the season,
• 53:31
  especially the last month and a half as to why his average dipped down.
• 53:35
  He lost 60 points in about the final six or seven weeks of play,
• 53:40
  and started hitting at 265 of the season, one and two.
• 53:46
  Swinging afoul, upstairs, toward the roof along the first baseline, completely out of play.
• 53:50
  In the Yankee full-time, the old floor, Johnny Hupp,
• 53:53
  for defensive measures is starting to heat up for Casey Stangles.
• 53:58
  Mies of course can still hit that ball, swing that back.
• 54:02
  But Hupp, a little bit faster on his feet, would be inserted in late inning.
• 54:11
  Just as Mayo might go into left field for a sister for the Phillies.
• 54:15
  He actually shakes off a couple of signs, nods on the next.
• 54:18
  The one-two pitch, throwing, swinging, a fly to short center field, very high.
• 54:22
  He gives the module plenty of room to move in.
• 54:24
  He says he has it, and he does.
• 54:26
  Jones flies to Joe DeMond, Joe, in center.
• 54:29
  Two gone.
• 54:33
  Two fields, I have missed the ball subtly against Fraggy.
• 54:36
  And the deepest ball hit by any one of them was solely at fit for the distance, back in the third inning.
• 54:42
  It was the second out, and it gave the crowd a momentary thrill here.
• 54:46
  But Dean Woodling backed up near the gravel protectory,
• 54:49
  which is about 5 to 7 feet deep, and warns the outfielders of the oncoming fence.
• 54:54
  Here's Granny Hamner, 0 for 2.
• 54:57
  Ground ball to short, fly ball to right.
• 54:59
  Standing right handed, swinging, a foul behind the plate.
• 55:02
  That is going to give it a try.
• 55:04
  Runs near the screen and can get it.
• 55:06
  It locks down just where the screen papers off the bars of the upstairs boxes.
• 55:12
  Right behind the plate.
• 55:15
  Foul strike one.
• 55:20
  Billy Johnson, one of the two Yankee third basemen,
• 55:26
  moving toward the World Pan.
• 55:28
  Would that be another possible defensive measure, Mel?
• 55:31
  That's right, Gene. Casey Stengler likes to play the two-patern system
• 55:35
  at first and third bases in the late innings of a tight ball game,
• 55:38
  figuring that Hopp and Johnson at first and third respectively will help the team defensively.
• 55:45
  Johnson and Hopp join each other down there.
• 55:47
  Count nothing in one on Hamner.
• 55:48
  Well, two gone, nobody on.
• 55:51
  Right to calls.
• 55:53
  I know this today that Rashi has not made any pictures too true down the alley, as they say.
• 55:59
  He has been off on corners, what a high, around the bell, throwing tights away,
• 56:02
  forcing the batter up, feeding him off balance.
• 56:07
  All one to nothing. Yankee's leading, last of the seven.
• 56:11
  A wonderful, wonderful ball game, and Allison comes out to make it complete.
• 56:16
  Brown and a hush. Rashi in the motion, throwing, swinging a foul back upstairs,
• 56:23
  just to the base of the press group.
• 56:28
  This ball game is having tremendous coverage today.
• 56:36
  All came down again and went into the on-deck circle, Yankee territory, first base side.
• 56:41
  Note now that Rashi is slowing up between pictures,
• 56:45
  floating upon his reserve in the late frame.
• 56:47
  Nothing in two, it's slowing.
• 56:48
  Slow curve, and he's just hungering and away from the pitch.
• 56:52
  Wasted, ball one.
• 56:56
  When you're looking at fielding averages, you'll find that Hamner had 46 errors to visit O's 12.
• 57:01
  They looked upon as the outstanding judge's stops in both leagues.
• 57:05
  Two entirely different typeball players, though.
• 57:08
  Studer getting the jump on that ball, getting rid of the ball quickly.
• 57:13
  Now Rashi, after shaking off one, set the goal, one and two, big pitch.
• 57:18
  Slow curve, too high, in start, ball two.
• 57:22
  Matter of fact, Hamner will smile when he tells you,
• 57:25
  if I golly, I can get that ball going to my right and going to my left,
• 57:28
  but I have a lot of trouble with the ball hitting right at me.
• 57:31
  And Studer, well, he's well-named.
• 57:33
  He's just about the most valuable player in the American League,
• 57:36
  with his, that's what everybody says, and the odds are very, very sharp,
• 57:41
  that he will be selected as second.
• 57:43
  Two and two, Hamner giving Rashi the battle.
• 57:45
  Square count pitch, going, swinging on a high, wide pitch,
• 57:49
  and fouling off, downstairs on the screen.
• 57:53
  Yankees tally there one run in the fourth inning.
• 57:56
  A Bobby Brown left field double and consecutive fly balls by Hank Barr and Jerry Coleman.
• 58:01
  The latter is scoring Brown with the only run in this ball game.
• 58:09
  Field two and two, even up.
• 58:12
  Outfield shifted straight away left.
• 58:14
  He throws, he swings and sends a very, very long fly ball,
• 58:17
  deep throw to right field, far going back,
• 58:19
  and makes a flying catch against the law.
• 58:22
  Henry Barr drags that one in, a bit fragmented.
• 58:27
  One of the finest fielding players of the game.
• 58:29
  He had it all the way, but got a flying jump on it,
• 58:31
  and remember, in order to prevent his own tracking in,
• 58:34
  he poked himself against the bar, right near the right field arch standard,
• 58:37
  which is approximately 350 feet from all-place.
• 58:41
  So Hamner flies deep to right on a nice play by Hank Barr,
• 58:44
  and the field's a retired again in order in the seventh inning.
• 58:47
  Nothing across, no hits, no errors, none left.
• 58:51
  Seven earnings, the New York Yankees.
• 58:53
  One run, four hits, no errors,
• 58:57
  and eight men left on, while the Phillies,
• 59:02
  no runs, two hits, one error, and but three left on.
• 59:09
  Constanti made the trip out to the mound,
• 59:12
  not knowing that he would go at least nine innings,
• 59:15
  twice during the season.
• 59:17
  He did it once in Pittsburgh on a memorable evening.
• 59:20
  It was a hot, clammy evening,
• 59:22
  and it was an odd ballgame in which the Phillies
• 59:25
  had come from behind to tie up,
• 59:27
  then Seminick at a home run and attempt,
• 59:29
  and big-slug Keiner, who was here today, by the way,
• 59:32
  of Pittsburgh, equally, and then they rolled on to 15 innings.
• 59:36
  First gameers of the Pirates, and Constanti at the field,
• 59:38
  trading pitch for pitch.
• 59:40
  Constanti singled in the last of the 15s
• 59:42
  to help his own cause in going on a win nine to seven.
• 59:45
  That was one of his jobs.
• 59:46
  Now he faces DiMarco, a couple of years.
• 59:49
  The Joe-Vertig, Stank One Balls.
• 59:52
  A dipping ball that cut the knees on the outside corner.
• 59:55
  Joe, 0-2 officially, passed intentionally back in the third.
• 59:59
  Bout of first, and a fourth.
• 1:00:02
  I should say 0-1 officially.
• 1:00:04
  He was walked twice, once intentionally,
• 1:00:06
  and once on three and two and a sixth.
• 1:00:09
  Joe, the count now is one-on-one.
• 1:00:10
  The next pitch was wide.
• 1:00:14
  Pitching wide again.
• 1:00:17
  I noticed that Constanti is throwing almost consistently
• 1:00:20
  a breaking ball to Joe.
• 1:00:22
  We've got him on a tight pitch once per strike,
• 1:00:24
  but Joe eventually walked in the sixth.
• 1:00:27
  Two-on-one.
• 1:00:30
  The big one, gotta be good.
• 1:00:32
  Swings a high, twisting top third base side.
• 1:00:35
  Joe's moving near the bag, right on the line,
• 1:00:38
  and takes it just inside the line in third door.
• 1:00:40
  Sorry, about three feet in front of the bag for the put-off.
• 1:00:43
  DiMarco pops out to third.
• 1:00:45
  One man up and one man down for the Yankees in the top of the eighth.
• 1:00:48
  Joe DiMarco.
• 1:00:52
  Now, John Wise.
• 1:00:55
  It'll be interesting to see just how long Wise remains in the game.
• 1:00:59
  The one run imposes larger and larger as the game goes along.
• 1:01:04
  Swinging a slowly hit ground ball and a twist towards second.
• 1:01:08
  Goliath up over the first and five.
• 1:01:10
  That ball had a lot of sidewise English on it.
• 1:01:12
  It's done it out toward the mound and kept twisting away
• 1:01:15
  near the bag at second.
• 1:01:17
  And Goliath had to move to his own right and pick up this twisting ball
• 1:01:21
  and didn't beat Wise by very much.
• 1:01:23
  Second to first supply.
• 1:01:25
  Two up, two down.
• 1:01:26
  Top of the eighth inning, one to nothing ball game.
• 1:01:29
  Not a subrilla by any means, just the fact that the fans
• 1:01:32
  fit far forward on the edge of their chairs
• 1:01:35
  to see what's gonna happen next.
• 1:01:37
  Here is Brown.
• 1:01:38
  There was another fit.
• 1:01:40
  It was a foul ball and it was hit almost exactly the way his double went down the line
• 1:01:44
  in the fourth inning.
• 1:01:46
  Bobby once for three but that one sees the big one in the game, the double.
• 1:01:53
  Let off the fourth on the fourth, the first fit.
• 1:01:56
  He has a pair of slides to right the two put outs, one to three.
• 1:02:00
  Nothing in one.
• 1:02:02
  As he bleed, one nothing.
• 1:02:04
  Two gone.
• 1:02:06
  Two slow pumps now as he rocks the floor.
• 1:02:09
  Low and outside, ball one.
• 1:02:12
  A ball and a strike on Bobby Brown.
• 1:02:15
  Duck to Bob Brown.
• 1:02:18
  Some fans from Fiskelle.
• 1:02:24
  Many are now.
• 1:02:25
  One on delivery.
• 1:02:27
  Ball two.
• 1:02:28
  The screwball goes too far outside.
• 1:02:31
  The, uh, the top of the center, this young man who's standing in the batter's box right now
• 1:02:35
  is very rare in views for a game like confining a baseball.
• 1:02:38
  A lot of, a box in the sixth month.
• 1:02:41
  Well, he's gotta give him a lot of credit.
• 1:02:44
  Four and one.
• 1:02:47
  Picking, playing.
• 1:02:48
  A high-stopping ball back to second.
• 1:02:50
  Wally out with a lot of room.
• 1:02:51
  Picks them out in 20 of five.
• 1:02:53
  Three up, three down.
• 1:02:55
  Half of the way to the next.
• 1:02:56
  No runs, no hits, no errors, no left out.
• 1:02:59
  Seven and a half innings score.
• 1:03:01
  One of your grandkids won.
• 1:03:02
  The Phillies, nothing.
• 1:03:06
  Year after year, the left loop laid our first choice among men in the world over.
• 1:03:11
  That's because no other time does I start as easy skating as long lapsing.
• 1:03:16
  Men for saves that make your face look and feel at best.
• 1:03:20
  You need the world's number one razor blade.
• 1:03:22
  Today's Gillette Blue Blaze.
• 1:03:24
  You get Gillette Blue Blaze in the familiar original package of five for four.
• 1:03:28
  To enjoy extra convenience with no extra expense,
• 1:03:31
  we recommend you buy them in the Gillette's Center that deals the blades out on rent.
• 1:03:36
  It also has a building compartment for the safe permanent disposal of yours blades.
• 1:03:41
  The 10-blade center is 49 cents.
• 1:03:44
  The 20-blade side, 98 cents.
• 1:03:46
  The regular price of the blades along.
• 1:03:49
  Look God, feel God, do God.
• 1:03:53
  Use Gillette Blue Blaze for the jobless edges of a hall.
• 1:03:58
  To the last of the evening, Johnny Huck
• 1:04:03
  Hugs into the game and of course he's more or less of a surprise performer.
• 1:04:08
  There was a kind of a trade, a late trade deal,
• 1:04:10
  and with Jack Mail and Jack O'Compson, who were called up from Colorado
• 1:04:15
  when Simmons went into the Army and Nicholson was sidelined with five meters.
• 1:04:18
  They single-sered, well give me Huck the hundredth
• 1:04:21
  and Tommy of course is sidelined and John inserted on the left.
• 1:04:24
  Also at third, Billy Johnson.
• 1:04:29
  Well the end of the offensive in New York starts at four, perhaps a desperate finish by the girls.
• 1:04:36
  Who call by a loan market.
• 1:04:38
  Eight-year double fee, John Huck.
• 1:04:40
  Now interval ten, Maya begins running up.
• 1:04:44
  So that for the not end of this ball game, it may well be that first
• 1:04:48
  will decide to lift him standing for a 10-hitter.
• 1:04:56
  Johnson for ground, Huck for miles.
• 1:04:58
  Now Simmons about it.
• 1:05:02
  He has one of a few hits.
• 1:05:04
  Swinging, missing, side-wind.
• 1:05:08
  Simmons was a pro-hitter, consistently, before this year.
• 1:05:14
  Then he opened his stance and started punching the ball away.
• 1:05:18
  Now he never said bowers, not playing him too much over the left as they ordinarily would.
• 1:05:21
  There's a very wide open stance.
• 1:05:23
  Aim for the third base drive.
• 1:05:24
  Nothing in one.
• 1:05:25
  Wide of a plate on a side-on crossfire.
• 1:05:29
  One-on-one.
• 1:05:32
  The right side of the empty OTS is Coleman, pretty deep.
• 1:05:35
  No second.
• 1:05:36
  We're good all.
• 1:05:37
  And Johnson's fairly over that since the semifinals of slow runners.
• 1:05:41
  One-on-one.
• 1:05:43
  Wings and misses.
• 1:05:44
  Fight two.
• 1:05:45
  High-spot ball.
• 1:05:46
  That seems to have Andy's numbers.
• 1:05:50
  Well, Simmons was born in West Virginia and lives in Tennessee.
• 1:05:55
  He is an idol around the Pittsburgh area where he attended high school.
• 1:05:58
  Tennis, sports, and UCA.
• 1:06:00
  All around great performance.
• 1:06:03
  And he also has the third oldest, Grandpa Whee.
• 1:06:06
  One-on-two.
• 1:06:07
  Right, he won each one.
• 1:06:09
  Third misses outside, but ball two.
• 1:06:12
  It's granted, getting hot air for game for three.
• 1:06:15
  Towards the end of a regulation distance.
• 1:06:18
  Last half of the eighth.
• 1:06:19
  Simmons, that he followed by going up and possibly offensive approach and status.
• 1:06:23
  Red stands for warming up.
• 1:06:25
  And the Yankee Bull stands.
• 1:06:26
  Right-hander.
• 1:06:29
  Even up two and two.
• 1:06:31
  Picking, swinging a lazy hop in playing volleyball.
• 1:06:35
  Hop racing under the ball, and there's a guard under.
• 1:06:38
  And Johnny Grants, it's Simmons hopped out for hop.
• 1:06:41
  And I imagine, no, he's got a lot of opportunities to stay in that business.
• 1:06:45
  Basically in the latter stages of the campaign.
• 1:06:49
  Hop was acquired from Pittsburgh.
• 1:06:53
  And as a fellow with tremendous experience in these kind of games.
• 1:06:57
  That's because the same with the Tarzan's Bluffs and Ways.
• 1:07:00
  One-on-one on the pop to hop, South
• 1:07:10
  West, second base remaining in, taking high, around the eyes of one.
• 1:07:17
  Last half of the eighth inning, just one long marker in the fourth.
• 1:07:24
  As Ritchie and Kim Stadley have picked up on one of those two-tender sticking drills.
• 1:07:32
  One-on-one.
• 1:07:34
  Wing, Winniter, that's one.
• 1:07:38
  You'll know it has the shadow just behind it.
• 1:07:41
  And it's all the plates.
• 1:07:43
  And he's going that dark one in there right now.
• 1:07:45
  This Pippin, a former Dodger, who was appearing in his second State World Series.
• 1:07:49
  Last year with Pippin, this season with the Fills, was moving out of the Dodgers.
• 1:07:53
  As the Pinsitter Park and Stadley.
• 1:07:54
  Pippin's a one-on-one pick.
• 1:07:56
  Right field call.
• 1:07:57
  Ritchie is flying an eye.
• 1:07:59
  And his job today has been one of my significant paces.
• 1:08:04
  He's rarely been behind.
• 1:08:06
  I think just twice in the game, and that was the way just.
• 1:08:10
  He's walked the point and allowed two singles, signing four.
• 1:08:15
  One and two, I had a goalie at.
• 1:08:17
  Now he's leading, one to nothing last for the eighth.
• 1:08:20
  Now Big Bisc, that's what a big pick.
• 1:08:22
  Going swing a par back on the screen behind the plate.
• 1:08:25
  Still one and two.
• 1:08:31
  They haven't been very many five balls, just under the stands today, so they're much pivoted.
• 1:08:36
  And the crowd is jocling in here.
• 1:08:41
  That link goes very, very, very, that we will both souvenir.
• 1:08:45
  Tanks are continuing to flow for New York and myer for the Pills.
• 1:08:48
  And we'll take the big hand.
• 1:08:50
  Now the Tannigan one and two with a new ball in place.
• 1:08:52
  Immunization, picking, swinging, another five, single eye.
• 1:08:56
  And John has said, I'm the ball, hit the puck, I've very good, spinning away.
• 1:09:02
  We had a couple of injuries, apparently minor nature in the game,
• 1:09:06
  hiddling the lead off in the game, and then tumbling.
• 1:09:10
  When Goliath was starting earlier.
• 1:09:14
  That came in a very, very important fit in it.
• 1:09:19
  But just about the only set that the Phillies have had to hit from that ball.
• 1:09:26
  One and two.
• 1:09:30
  Swings and a zipper right back to Goliath's home in at second base.
• 1:09:34
  He's nice run right back to Jerry, and Jerry went into a physical training knee bending exercise.
• 1:09:39
  This is the easiest five that I put out.
• 1:09:41
  Two up to down, a line at a second.
• 1:09:44
  And now, uh, it's been standing us out of the game.
• 1:09:48
  And the only thing that's left handed is Whitman.
• 1:09:51
  We'll back for him.
• 1:09:54
  Until the season, Whitman had a 250 batting average, but as a pin-kitter, he hit an even 300.
• 1:09:59
  He's a left handed straightaway hitter from Portland and Colburn, Oregon,
• 1:10:04
  where he's an all season cutting mate.
• 1:10:06
  He tells me of Bobby Dora, the Boston Reds box.
• 1:10:09
  He was even a box batting left handed.
• 1:10:12
  Ratchy faces him, six cuts of foul, that twists this way just above our Gillette microphone.
• 1:10:17
  First base and right field foul line.
• 1:10:19
  Just off to the plate, slightly to the left.
• 1:10:22
  Nothing in one on Whitman.
• 1:10:24
  Since Danny Duck has her elbows, eight very good innings.
• 1:10:28
  The run was earned, and batted home by Coleman and scored by Brown in the fourth.
• 1:10:33
  And Jim allowed all-told four hits to walk for, and behind him one arrow was made,
• 1:10:38
  which did not figure in any scoring at fourth.
• 1:10:42
  Nothing in one to Whitman.
• 1:10:43
  Ratchy winding, Goliath brings.
• 1:10:45
  Hit slow and a drive.
• 1:10:47
  Not just about the wildest hits that Ratchy has thrown.
• 1:10:50
  Overhand hook.
• 1:10:52
  Real dug handles.
• 1:10:55
  One-on-one count.
• 1:10:57
  W-H-I-T-M-A-N.
• 1:10:59
  Whitman.
• 1:11:01
  Fair out the other.
• 1:11:03
  And a pretty consistent pin-kitter.
• 1:11:06
  Last three, eight, three gone.
• 1:11:08
  Nobody else.
• 1:11:10
  Hitting, swinging, a fly ball.
• 1:11:12
  Going way, way back, close to the wall, he makes the catch.
• 1:11:17
  Or that was the longest bit of the filter put in in quite some time.
• 1:11:21
  A fly ball beats to the wall, to the right of the scoreboard in right field,
• 1:11:25
  and the inning for the Phillies in the eighth.
• 1:11:28
  No runs, no hits, no errors, none left on.
• 1:11:34
  Eight innings, score, New York one, Phillies, nothing.
• 1:11:39
  Men for modern gaming comfort and convenience,
• 1:11:42
  yet a modern Goliath one-teeth razor.
• 1:11:44
  This razor combines instant blade changing with double edge economy
• 1:11:48
  and superb gaming performance.
• 1:11:50
  Only Goliath offers these three big advantages.
• 1:11:53
  By a Goliath one-teeth razor,
• 1:11:55
  there are several models, and each includes a hand-contaminated travel case
• 1:11:59
  and a generous supply of Goliath's blue blade.
• 1:12:03
  We pause 10 seconds for spacing identification.
• 1:12:06
  This is a mutual broadcast consistent.
• 1:12:22
  Confessuous Russ Meyer of Perot, Illinois has come on
• 1:12:26
  to face the New York Yankees in the top of the night.
• 1:12:29
  Here's a furrow that is a throwback,
• 1:12:32
  at least as far as it's characteristic, to the same Rubleau Del.
• 1:12:36
  He's been talked out of a couple of games this season,
• 1:12:38
  but he wants so badly to win ball games that he'll tell you,
• 1:12:42
  I was only out there trying to win.
• 1:12:45
  And he's had some brutes of zero in there,
• 1:12:47
  but he's had good breaking stuff in the clutch,
• 1:12:50
  and Sawyer has gone right along with him.
• 1:12:52
  As a matter of fact, it's possibly a tribute, again, to Sawyer,
• 1:12:56
  on the fine job he's done with his four-club this season,
• 1:12:58
  taking a contrived of youngsters and flipping them up to the pen and jack.
• 1:13:02
  He's a right-hander and teaches a screwball
• 1:13:04
  and has one of the toughest motions to face.
• 1:13:06
  He seems to twist one way and another,
• 1:13:09
  an after-foot delivery.
• 1:13:12
  Sawyer places Jim Consanti, who hurled eight innings,
• 1:13:15
  allowed foreheads, one of a double of rounds,
• 1:13:17
  walked forward, stuck out none, and the one run was a...
• 1:13:21
  You can't say, of course, that the relief,
• 1:13:23
  since Consanti didn't fit well, is Nate having hit right.
• 1:13:26
  And that's the effect of being superb.
• 1:13:28
  Now, Amaya, M&I, to face Hank Bauer,
• 1:13:34
  and it's called Stake 1.
• 1:13:37
  These are all very huge state balls, it's called it.
• 1:13:40
  Turds and screwballs.
• 1:13:42
  Ground ball is short,
• 1:13:44
  he flies ball of thinner,
• 1:13:46
  and a final outpour,
• 1:13:48
  in the six, third to second,
• 1:13:50
  has Amna and Whitman, one-on-one,
• 1:13:54
  picking, swinging, and getting a foul,
• 1:13:56
  drips back to the plate.
• 1:14:00
  One and two.
• 1:14:03
  Andrek, Jerry Coleman, and of course, Ratchie.
• 1:14:07
  Oh, I suspect Rowe will get a great hand
• 1:14:09
  from this capacity audience of sky farers.
• 1:14:13
  Stanford stays warmed up for the Ankihs and Ricefield.
• 1:14:17
  One-two-pick, the side arms are too close.
• 1:14:20
  Two and two.
• 1:14:21
  Amaya's record on the season was nine decrees in urban loss.
• 1:14:25
  It was quite a come down for him
• 1:14:27
  after having tried him 17 times in 1949.
• 1:14:31
  But in a spot where they needed him, he came through.
• 1:14:33
  Two and two.
• 1:14:35
  Swinging a fly, foul, toward the lower stands and Rice,
• 1:14:40
  and reaching up towards the fans,
• 1:14:42
  get what the army called a drier on.
• 1:14:44
  That thing went right down the concrete runway.
• 1:14:47
  Some youngster made a mad dash for it.
• 1:14:51
  Two and two.
• 1:14:55
  My other second try.
• 1:14:57
  First, his big job is to save off any further Ankihs
• 1:15:01
  with a one-run margin New York reading.
• 1:15:05
  Square count of Henry Barr.
• 1:15:07
  In the wind-up, he pickers.
• 1:15:09
  Ball three, two low and outside.
• 1:15:12
  That was a dipping serve ball.
• 1:15:17
  Big, husky hank, the X-Marion.
• 1:15:20
  He can run, he can throw, and he can hit.
• 1:15:23
  Full count.
• 1:15:26
  Sing runs out.
• 1:15:27
  In the motion, the pitch.
• 1:15:29
  The swing, a slow hit down, ball to our third.
• 1:15:31
  Up with a down to get away from him.
• 1:15:33
  He loses the handle and it goes, perhaps as an infield hit.
• 1:15:37
  We'll wait and see on the activation.
• 1:15:40
  A stretch on which Jones try to charge the ball a copper
• 1:15:45
  and it's gone away from him.
• 1:15:47
  Going for a hit.
• 1:15:49
  Goal of the leadoff man, Bauer, gets a very important stretch.
• 1:15:54
  All the third basing will be Jones.
• 1:15:59
  That in all is the fifth Yankee hit.
• 1:16:02
  All have been singles, but for Browns, doubles.
• 1:16:05
  In the fourth inning.
• 1:16:07
  I run around, nobody out.
• 1:16:12
  Hand of honor, it's Jerry Coleman.
• 1:16:14
  Ball for three, he absorbs, has wrapped home the only one of the game.
• 1:16:19
  Slender second base, and batting right handed.
• 1:16:21
  My approach, inside low, ball one.
• 1:16:23
  Infield was looking for the bunch.
• 1:16:25
  Wakers dancing in from first, Jones rusting in from third.
• 1:16:29
  Goliana scores, moving to his own left, ready to cover first and take.
• 1:16:33
  Goal one to nothing, New York, the one run in the fourth inning.
• 1:16:37
  And the man who produced it is up there now.
• 1:16:41
  Nobody out, fast center first.
• 1:16:45
  Bauer taking a lot of time, nods on the seven-inch signal.
• 1:16:49
  Round right handed in the sixth, power leading off.
• 1:16:53
  Power breaks, the pitch, the swing.
• 1:16:55
  A hit and run was on with a fly, lost itself out to right center field.
• 1:16:58
  Ice fling going over and making the first put out.
• 1:17:01
  Ricky Iceflane holds down, the hit and run bid in right center field.
• 1:17:06
  Center field on making the put out, one away, now Rancy.
• 1:17:23
  They may have in better picked games by Victor Rancy throughout his honorable career,
• 1:17:27
  but not very many.
• 1:17:29
  And I'm pretty sure Mel will back me up on that one.
• 1:17:32
  In the bullpen, rookie public church, the right hander, warming up for the Phillies.
• 1:17:36
  One on, one out, Rancy's batting right handed, coming around a bunch, misses, strike one.
• 1:17:40
  A dipping ball, and Bick, I never said time, kind of,
• 1:17:45
  tried to nub at it, holding about a pie with his right hand.
• 1:17:49
  Coming in one.
• 1:17:56
  He's back, he comes around a bunch, there's one right back toward the mound,
• 1:18:00
  my elbow bit, one play, first base, holding out, covering in time.
• 1:18:04
  Bar, who's a real fast runner, wasted no time,
• 1:18:10
  and got down there with only one play, allowable to,
• 1:18:14
  my, and that was through first base.
• 1:18:16
  The play has scored the pitcher, Maya, to the second base in Goliath, covering.
• 1:18:20
  So it moves, bowed down a strong position at second,
• 1:18:23
  there are two men gone on the sacrifice,
• 1:18:26
  which is the second successful one that the Yankees have pulled off this afternoon,
• 1:18:32
  and two men are gone.
• 1:18:34
  Woodland, been on base three times,
• 1:18:38
  and he's played a gala in battle today,
• 1:18:40
  particularly in view of a painful injury.
• 1:18:43
  Semonix motions with his gloves to move toward left.
• 1:18:47
  I don't know whether he's got this desire or not,
• 1:18:51
  but anyway they're playing them straight away toward left.
• 1:18:54
  Coming out.
• 1:18:57
  Woodland, in that very unique stance of his,
• 1:19:00
  he's close together, angled off.
• 1:19:04
  Maya in the big six, kicking, going.
• 1:19:07
  That one's all, that ball had a lot of spin on it,
• 1:19:10
  and all that of Semonix's left will be left of the play,
• 1:19:13
  but the runner at second door held on.
• 1:19:15
  Nothing in one. A one-ten-nothing ball there.
• 1:19:17
  The Yankees leading, from Stadies, started.
• 1:19:19
  Went eight, hurled well, outfished by Ratchie.
• 1:19:23
  I just a couple of hits.
• 1:19:29
  No ball, one strike.
• 1:19:33
  Maya's mixed game, there's an ad monk.
• 1:19:36
  Nothing in one.
• 1:19:38
  Swinging with it. He threw the screwball,
• 1:19:41
  and he really broke that hook off.
• 1:19:44
  It's the pitch of course, strong with the wrist breaking in.
• 1:19:48
  Maya stepped down, caught his own left,
• 1:19:50
  and then throws at an odd angle away from a left-handed batter, Woodland.
• 1:19:57
  There's the screwball, a little bit different than Stadies.
• 1:20:00
  Nothing in two.
• 1:20:02
  Play ahead.
• 1:20:04
  Swings and sends a lazy one in front of the plate.
• 1:20:09
  In time, good ball.
• 1:20:14
  Back to the nice.
• 1:20:16
  So the build to it, and the legionary's distant,
• 1:20:19
  they must stay with an hour-well finish to keep it alive.
• 1:20:22
  In the ninth inning, no runs, one hit, no errors,
• 1:20:26
  and one man left off.
• 1:20:30
  At the end of eight and a half, here at Guy Park in Philadelphia,
• 1:20:33
  the Yankees won, but to leave nothing.
• 1:20:36
  And now there's one thing I noticed.
• 1:20:38
  I should have felt safe high the game up.
• 1:20:40
  I imagine a single would have at least sacrificed a bit of power
• 1:20:43
  by having inserted Hop, who was a consistent hitter,
• 1:20:46
  but who of course does not hit the long ball like the big cat does,
• 1:20:49
  as well as how are the hitting of Johnson and Brown compare?
• 1:20:53
  Well, of course, neither Johnny Hop nor Billy Johnson
• 1:20:56
  can hit the long ball that Johnny Myers can,
• 1:20:59
  but Hop may more or less make up somewhat fort and a tight ball game
• 1:21:04
  with his feet, his ability to drag or bunt, beat it out,
• 1:21:08
  or to line out a base hit.
• 1:21:10
  And Bill Johnson can hit a long ball.
• 1:21:12
  He's a rugged guy in the clutch,
• 1:21:14
  but of course, he always likes to have that big guy up there.
• 1:21:17
  He certainly is more of a thrift.
• 1:21:21
  The hop of a Phil's running order in the bottom of the knife.
• 1:21:26
  Came with Jetty Waco, 0-2, fouled with a catch of Barra,
• 1:21:31
  ground ball of Coleman at second, and a walk,
• 1:21:34
  the only one issued by Racky in the sixth.
• 1:21:38
  Johnson's Seminick with singles, and Waco with a walk.
• 1:21:43
  And otherwise, Mr. Vic Racky has been perfect.
• 1:21:46
  As a matter of fact, he didn't have to be any more perfect
• 1:21:48
  than that because the Phil's have been swollen.
• 1:21:51
  And this game takes on the similarities to last year's opener
• 1:21:58
  between the Dodgers and the Anciers.
• 1:22:01
  When Tommy Hendricks' homerun won the opener
• 1:22:03
  against Daniels in Brooklyn.
• 1:22:06
  Now Waco, batting left handed,
• 1:22:10
  Racky in the motion, delivering, inside, ball one.
• 1:22:15
  Now you can expect a steady roar in the background,
• 1:22:18
  especially in the fans surrounding our microphone.
• 1:22:22
  Phil's fans will try to get on the opposing pitcher,
• 1:22:24
  late in the game, if their favorites go behind.
• 1:22:28
  Ball two.
• 1:22:31
  Barra complained a bit on that pitch,
• 1:22:34
  and shook his head talking with Empire Cameron.
• 1:22:37
  It was a fast pitch with justness outside.
• 1:22:41
  Two and 0.
• 1:22:43
  So I went to nothing, New York, nobody on, nobody out.
• 1:22:46
  Last half of the night, then it's pitching.
• 1:22:50
  Strike one, four.
• 1:22:52
  Right down there.
• 1:22:55
  The win continues to blow to our right field.
• 1:23:00
  And 30,746 were gone.
• 1:23:03
  Kind of a disappointing crowd for the opener.
• 1:23:05
  Two and one.
• 1:23:08
  Strike two, four.
• 1:23:11
  Racky crossed up Waco.
• 1:23:13
  He was looking for a fat one.
• 1:23:15
  He was making the outside corner above the Waco's knees.
• 1:23:19
  They'll be followed by Aspern and Sussman.
• 1:23:22
  They three left handed batters in the field batting order.
• 1:23:26
  Two and two.
• 1:23:29
  Even up.
• 1:23:31
  In the wind up, he kicks, he throws,
• 1:23:33
  he swings and puts the foul right below our collect microphone.
• 1:23:36
  Is that it?
• 1:23:38
  Now Allen did not have on his fielders mid that time.
• 1:23:42
  And he was a little bit fearful about trying to get it bare handed.
• 1:23:48
  I was a little bit fearful about him getting it.
• 1:23:51
  He didn't have that burning hand Brian on, boy.
• 1:23:54
  Two and two.
• 1:23:58
  Still alive.
• 1:24:01
  Pitching, swinging and getting a foul
• 1:24:04
  of Empire's Conlon's chest protector.
• 1:24:07
  We might add, Mel, that the young fellow
• 1:24:10
  warming up in the field for a pen is from Birmingham.
• 1:24:13
  Or is from Birmingham, it was warming up.
• 1:24:15
  Bubba Church.
• 1:24:17
  I don't think there's anybody that would probably explain better than you
• 1:24:20
  why they would call him Bubba down there in Alabama.
• 1:24:24
  Two and two.
• 1:24:26
  Last of a night.
• 1:24:28
  And he's leading by one.
• 1:24:30
  One's another.
• 1:24:33
  Racky set in the motion.
• 1:24:35
  And he's on fire. Wide ball free.
• 1:24:47
  Three balls to strike out.
• 1:24:50
  The heat's on.
• 1:24:51
  Swing runs out.
• 1:24:52
  Three times he's run.
• 1:24:53
  Very deep.
• 1:24:54
  All on record.
• 1:24:55
  The big pitch.
• 1:24:56
  Swing, a zipper, a risotto, a nice grab,
• 1:24:59
  a photo first in time.
• 1:25:01
  And it almost pulled Johnny Hop off the bat.
• 1:25:03
  It was a well-hit ball, but the scooter was playing him perfectly.
• 1:25:07
  I've never seen a risotto play before today.
• 1:25:10
  And the way he gets the ball away is tremendous.
• 1:25:13
  He does control the ball with a great degree of speed.
• 1:25:15
  But his motion, while getting rid of it, is tremendous.
• 1:25:19
  Wakers, rounds out.
• 1:25:21
  Jought to first. One down.
• 1:25:30
  Now on a turn.
• 1:25:32
  The anchor in a defense on the left side.
• 1:25:34
  Moves in.
• 1:25:35
  Particularly Billy Johnson, a third base.
• 1:25:38
  Hop and Coleman are back.
• 1:25:40
  That off of us.
• 1:25:42
  That's when stepping in.
• 1:25:43
  Over three.
• 1:25:44
  Strike one ball.
• 1:25:46
  Rick took a full cut after the pitch was delivered with more or less factor swing.
• 1:25:55
  The outfield pushed toward left.
• 1:25:57
  The left field of Woodling is very shallow on this young man.
• 1:26:02
  Grounded with a pitcher, line of the center, and a slider center.
• 1:26:05
  Over three.
• 1:26:07
  Nothing in one's out.
• 1:26:09
  Ratchie's delivering.
• 1:26:10
  Swinging, a zipping foul, grounded, right behind first base coach Dusty Sturkey.
• 1:26:16
  Rebound's out there.
• 1:26:18
  Right field line on fire in the Kimley goes it out of play.
• 1:26:22
  Nothing in two counts.
• 1:26:26
  Now the car's the anchor who's entered the struggle.
• 1:26:29
  With better batting averages.
• 1:26:31
  More.
• 1:26:32
  One run.
• 1:26:33
  That's the margin.
• 1:26:34
  A double and two fly ballers.
• 1:26:36
  Back and forth.
• 1:26:38
  All in two.
• 1:26:40
  Terror sign.
• 1:26:42
  Ratchie pitch.
• 1:26:43
  Swinging another foul.
• 1:26:44
  Back up stairs on the screen.
• 1:26:46
  Still nothing in two.
• 1:26:50
  As fun, you'll remember back in 1948, was a blazing rookie threat in center.
• 1:26:55
  He led the league in stolen bases and hit over 330.
• 1:26:59
  Then he bogged down as a sophomore.
• 1:27:02
  But his comeback in his junior year has a real threat.
• 1:27:06
  Not a long ball hitter of course by any manner of meaning.
• 1:27:10
  Nothing in two.
• 1:27:11
  Ready for the pitch.
• 1:27:12
  Sorry.
• 1:27:13
  High inside ball one.
• 1:27:16
  One ball to six.
• 1:27:26
  I don't imagine the Yankees have played any better defensive ball than they have today.
• 1:27:30
  Particularly baller in right field.
• 1:27:33
  He's one of those fellas that doesn't care what's in his way.
• 1:27:36
  He went and got him.
• 1:27:37
  One and two.
• 1:27:38
  Big pitch.
• 1:27:39
  Swinging a zipper down the first.
• 1:27:40
  Hop grabs it right to the bag.
• 1:27:42
  In time.
• 1:27:43
  Good play by Johnny Hop.
• 1:27:45
  The ball just about knocked him down.
• 1:27:47
  And there in, was it Fred Allen?
• 1:27:50
  Notice is the defensive move made by a manager's finger pays off.
• 1:27:54
  Whether a my's might have gotten that ball, I don't know.
• 1:27:57
  It was picked just inside the line.
• 1:28:00
  And having gotten away from the first base, there might have been a double.
• 1:28:03
  But Hop was right on him.
• 1:28:05
  And ran to the bag for the unassisted put out.
• 1:28:07
  Two up.
• 1:28:08
  Two down.
• 1:28:09
  First base unassisted on ice-wings ball.
• 1:28:12
  The last flickering hope of the Phillies in the last of the ninth inning.
• 1:28:15
  Get the slip.
• 1:28:16
  0-3.
• 1:28:17
  Has not gotten the ball out of the infield today.
• 1:28:21
  Notting left handed.
• 1:28:22
  Wide of the plate.
• 1:28:23
  Ball one.
• 1:28:33
  One ball left strike.
• 1:28:34
  Brassy taking a lot of his good old West Wing field time right now.
• 1:28:38
  Right handed.
• 1:28:39
  Ready to work.
• 1:28:40
  Picking.
• 1:28:41
  Swinging.
• 1:28:42
  Picking up fouls.
• 1:28:43
  Strike one.
• 1:28:44
  No doubt that time that sister was cutting from the heels and going to the board.
• 1:28:49
  His good power is toward right.
• 1:28:51
  Though he does have that now famous home run in left field in Brooklyn the other day.
• 1:28:56
  He was pulling on that ball.
• 1:28:58
  And I know this is the outfield as he mows it over toward the right.
• 1:29:03
  One on one.
• 1:29:05
  Once and nothing has he pleased.
• 1:29:07
  Two fills down last of the ninth.
• 1:29:10
  Picking.
• 1:29:11
  Strike two calls.
• 1:29:16
  Outside corner bit.
• 1:29:21
  If Brassy has made very many bad picking moves.
• 1:29:24
  They haven't been too evident to these eyes.
• 1:29:27
  I don't know what a sister was looking for that picture or not but it certainly thought
• 1:29:31
  the strike gone at the right corner.
• 1:29:34
  Two down.
• 1:29:36
  And the one two can on sciffer.
• 1:29:39
  Swing the net.
• 1:29:40
  Another three.
• 1:29:41
  Wait for the last he picks.
• 1:29:42
  Here he comes.
• 1:29:43
  He swings the net.
• 1:29:44
  He's struck him out.
• 1:29:45
  The Yankees win the opener of the 1950 World Series.
• 1:29:47
  And there are leaks from the air holding the victory ball.
• 1:29:50
  Rushing over toward victory to pound his back and dig his head.
• 1:29:54
  The glum crowd mostly Philadelphia fans will file out quietly now.
• 1:29:59
  A sister went down on strike for the fifth strike out because.
• 1:30:03
  Down in order with no run, no hits, no errors and none left on.
• 1:30:10
  My final total three for New York.
• 1:30:13
  One run which is earned.
• 1:30:15
  Five hits, four off from steady and one off with Eva Meyer in the ninth inning.
• 1:30:20
  Thank you.
