The New York Yankees faced the Seattle Manorers at the Kingdome for a Thursday night game on May 6th, 1982.
0:13
New York was managed by Gene Michael and were coming off a World Series loss to the Dodgers in 1981.
0:18
Yankees owner George Steinbrenner had been playing musical chairs with Bob Lemon and Gene Michael as manager in 1981-82,
0:25
hiring, firing or demoting each of them on two different occasions.
0:28
The Yankees also entered 1982 without Reggie Jackson, who had left for the Angels during free agency,
0:33
signing a contract that doubled his income and now earning him over $1 million a year.
0:38
Seattle had never finished higher than 6th or 7th place in the AL West during the franchise's five years in existence,
0:44
but were hoping they could turn the team around by saying goodbye to veterans Jeff Burrows and Tom Paciorek,
0:49
along with the hiring of new manager Rene Lachman.
0:51
This audio recording is from the New York Radio broadcast featuring announcers Frank Messer and Bill White.
1:21
Batting in the number five spot and playing in left field Dave Whitfield.
1:24
Batting 6th is the designated hitter Oscar Gemble.
1:27
Batting 7th the Yankees third baseman Roy Smalley.
1:31
Batting 8th and catching Rick Saron.
1:33
And batting 9th and playing shortstop will be Bucky Dent.
1:37
Yankees picture tonight, no wins and no losses.
1:40
Third start, Doyle Alexander.
1:42
Now for the Seattle Mariners.
1:45
12 and 15 on the year, presently in 5th place in the American League 1.
1:49
Leading off playing in second Julio Cruz.
1:52
Batting second and playing in third Manny Castillo.
1:55
Batting third and playing in left Bruce Bocchi.
1:58
Batting fourth is the designated hitter Ricky Zitz.
2:01
Batting fifth the shortstop Pat Cruz.
2:04
Batting sixth and playing in right field Al Cowen.
2:08
Batting seventh the center fielder Joe Simpson.
2:10
Batting eighth and playing in fifth Jim Baylor.
2:13
And batting ninth and playing a conjecture will be Terry Boyd.
2:17
And ladies and gentlemen, it's come out here, perhaps some 30,000.
2:21
Much more than they expected before.
2:24
They knew Gaylord Perry would be seeking that coveted 300th win.
2:28
And running in anticipation of the Seattle Mariners right hander Gaylord Perry.
2:32
Being a history making figure here tonight.
2:35
Our upfiring crew, Ken Kaiser will be the plate umpire.
2:38
Jerry Newdecker at first base, Bill Holler at second base.
2:42
And George Filoni at third.
2:44
So we'll have the opening pitch of tonight's game with the Mariners and the Yankees right after this.
2:50
Hello there adventurers of Radio Land. You can call me Danger.
2:55
I'm paying a visit to someone's backyard right now.
2:58
The person who lives here leaves his place in all his yard to a lying around day and night.
3:02
He practically invited me to make trouble.
3:04
I can cause his tools to serve him.
3:06
It doesn't take much. Just one call, step and...
3:08
Ow!
3:09
Don't hit me in the face.
3:11
I better put these dogs away.
3:14
Another time for the guys. Maybe you are.
3:17
Brought to you by the Allstate Network.
3:20
It's Freeborn Radio Theater.
3:22
Low budget recreation of old time radio proving nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
3:27
Today's the Ken Sir Guy. He'll answer any question you ask.
3:30
But I'm sorry, thanks for stopping.
3:32
Wait till I ask the question sir.
3:33
Oh, that is?
3:34
A man for Eureka queries, can you weigh yourself on the richest scale?
3:37
Absolutely, but only if the list says what you use it.
3:39
A lady from Bemidji asks, how often should the average person get a checkup?
3:42
Now, that is a question that deserves answering.
3:45
Sir, aren't you going to answer it?
3:47
What?
3:48
That question.
3:49
Oh, Francis Scott Key.
3:50
The checkup question.
3:51
Right. First of all, health wise, there's no such thing as the average person.
3:54
The American Cancer Society says how often you need a checkup depends on many things,
3:59
like being in a high risk group.
4:00
Can you give us an example?
4:01
Yes.
4:02
Well?
4:03
Oh, figure out smokers, for instance, fall into your high risk group.
4:06
So let your doctor tell you which health case to apply to you.
4:09
Right, and help fight cancer with a check to your American Cancer Society.
4:13
Now, our final question. Who wrote the Star-Spangled Banner?
4:16
I'll bite.
4:17
Who?
4:18
Well, the Seattle Mariners are just coming off that East Coast road trip where they won
4:34
three and lost five, and the Yankees are coming off one of their longest home stands of the
4:40
season, as a matter of fact, their second longest home stand of the year, and it was
4:44
not a very successful one for them as they won only four of 12 games, but included in
4:49
those four victories was their first home series win when they beat this very same Seattle
4:54
Mariners team two games to one in a weekend series last weekend.
4:58
Included in the one victory for the Seattle Mariners was Gaylord's Marys' 6-3 win over
5:05
the Yankees.
5:06
Well, Alexander started that game for the New York Yankees and was the losing pitcher
5:14
in the contest.
5:15
All right, Willie Randolph is stepping in to lead it off for the Yankees as New York
5:18
hopes to put things together here with a couple of new additions.
5:22
John Mayberry, who's in the lineup tonight, and Steve Balfoni, who is in uniform and in
5:26
the Yankees dugout.
5:27
Randolph stepping in to bring you all the play-by-play action.
5:31
Here's Bill White.
5:32
All right, John Gordon, Willie Randolph batting a 3-41 this year, a couple of home runs, a
5:36
dozen runs batted in.
5:37
It'll be Randolph, Ken Griffey, and Jerry Mumfrey against Gaylord Perry.
5:41
As John mentioned to you the last time out on Friday, Barry Beechley Yankee for his 299th
5:47
win and the first pitch to Randolph in the call.
5:51
Perry gave up seven plays in that game.
5:53
Randolph got two of them.
5:54
Mumfrey got two.
5:55
Wentzfield also stopped one.
5:56
Luke Vannella as a pitcher got the center foot.
5:59
Gaylord pitched eight and two thirds in him, gave up three runs on seven hits.
6:05
And the next pitch to Randolph.
6:08
What a net miss.
6:10
Two strikes on Randolph.
6:12
Gaylord Perry trying to become the 15th pitcher in Major League history to win 300 ball games.
6:24
Of course, the number one winner, Justin Siyon.
6:27
The last one to do it, early win.
6:31
Before him, let's see it grow.
6:33
Here's the two-strike pitch to Willie Randolph.
6:35
Fung on, bounce for his first base.
6:36
Backing up there is the first base.
6:38
He's got it.
6:39
And Maylor will take it himself.
6:40
There's one away.
6:43
Jim Maylor on a bounce off.
6:45
It's Randolph and here's Ken Griffey.
6:49
Is this the first time this year Griffey's batted second, John Dork?
6:52
Yeah, there's a little bit of a shakeup in the lineup once again.
6:54
Bumper is in the number three spot and he has been dropped down to number six in the series against the Oakland A's.
7:00
But Griffey's up there in number two and hopeful of being able to snap out of his recent slump.
7:05
That's 239 coming into the ballgames.
7:07
Griffey for the first time in his American League career playing on artificial surface,
7:12
which he was used to at Cincinnati.
7:17
So Griffey batting 239.
7:19
No home runs, four runs batted and maybe he'll feel more at home on the surface.
7:24
Here's Barry's first pitch to Griffey.
7:27
And it's a strike from the outside corner.
7:32
Manning can see a third base for the Mariner.
7:34
Todd Cruz is the shortstop.
7:36
Second base is Julio Cruz and at first base, New Yorker, born in New York, Jim Maylor.
7:42
Bruce Moxey on the left, Joe Simpson in center and Al Cowan's on the right field.
7:46
The one strike pitch is low and inside.
7:49
It's one and one on Griffey.
7:51
Todd, go ahead.
7:54
As expected, a lot of media coverage here tonight, Bill.
7:57
All the networks are here.
7:59
There's been a lot of hoopla before the game.
8:02
Family members, is Gaylord Perry in attendance?
8:05
Here's the one-one to Griffey.
8:07
Her ball is high, two balls and a strike.
8:10
I guess the Perry brothers have won more games than any other brother combination baseball.
8:15
Jim is here tonight.
8:19
Of course, the Negros have got to catch it.
8:23
Here's the two-one pitch.
8:26
Sixth wave, cold strike, two balls, two strikes on Griffey.
8:34
Jim Griffey coming to the Yankees from the Cincinnati Reds.
8:39
Having a slow break.
8:42
Two and two on Griffey with one out, nobody on top of the first.
8:46
Perry pitch, too high, three and two.
8:50
Perry mumbling on deck.
8:53
The count is full on Ken Griffey.
8:59
Perry taking plenty of time.
9:01
When he's on the mound, you've got a three-hour ball, there's a pitch inside.
9:05
So get relaxed there and hold.
9:08
And the pitch, bounce for a second, Cruz backs up, plays a tough out, lifts the first, and it's got Griffey.
9:15
Two out.
9:18
William Cruz backs up on that ball and played a bad off and then almost threw it past his first baseman, Jim Mailer,
9:23
but Mailer kept his foot on the back for out number two and here's Jerry Muprey.
9:28
He almost turned a regular routine ground ball into a bad play, didn't he?
9:33
Well, that's what happens sometimes when you put on the dog a little bit.
9:37
Cruz is an excellent player, he really doesn't have to do that.
9:40
When he does do it, I think it overshadows the fact that he's playing well.
9:44
Here's Jerry Muprey, the center fielder. He's batting a 2-76 with nine runs batted in.
9:52
Two outs, nobody on top of the first.
9:54
And here's the pitch to Muprey.
9:57
And it's a strike on the outside corner.
10:01
Ken Kizer is the home plate outfired, Jerry Newdecker is the first base, Bill Haller is the second.
10:06
And George Maloney is over the third.
10:10
Count, one strike on Muprey.
10:13
Jerry Ropp kicks the needle to one strike fifth.
10:16
That's ball low on end, it's one and one.
10:32
Perry taking plenty of time.
10:36
The one-one pitch, low on inside.
10:42
See, the Perry brothers have 512 wins between them.
10:46
Now add two more for Gaylord here in 1982, so that's 514.
10:54
Three brothers, John Art and Walt Sarkin have 386.
10:58
Bill and Joe Nicol have 385. That ball was foul straight down by Muprey.
11:03
Count remains 2-2.
11:10
I don't think the Nicolts will catch it.
11:14
Bill, 43.
11:16
Here it goes.
11:17
That's Gaylord, Perry, 43 years ago.
11:21
Joe's with the jump.
11:23
The national pitching is filled in with a lot of the skills that are on the table list.
11:28
It's just now getting cranked up in the Atlanta Braves.
11:31
This is the first three weeks of the National League season.
11:35
Here's Perry, 2-2 pitch to Muprey.
11:38
Fung on, lifted in the right center, off the run is the right fielder.
11:41
Cowan will not get to it, he'll go to the wall.
11:43
Muprey around first, digging for second.
11:45
He's going to start for three.
11:47
The throw will not be in time.
11:51
Muprey has tripled with two outs here in the first inning.
11:57
Kind of surprised that he went for the three bagger, but he did like it.
12:01
The relay was just a little bit late.
12:04
Muprey gets the three base hit.
12:06
Pretty close play at third base.
12:08
And he doled in head first, might have winded himself a little bit.
12:11
He has his head down.
12:12
There's Austin, Joe Alcabelli, the Yankee third base.
12:15
But no, he's back at third base.
12:17
So a triple by Jerry Muprey with two down here in the first inning, that'll bring on John Mayberry.
12:23
Big John making his first plate appearance as a Yankee.
12:26
He wasn't used much in Toronto.
12:28
He's only up 30-somethings, bat a two-definite three for the Blue Jays.
12:32
Two home runs, three runs bad against.
12:35
For John Mayberry, facing Gaylord Perry.
12:40
And the first pitch to Mayberry, the strikes on the outside corner.
12:45
Frank Messer has the story, John Gordon.
12:47
Mayberry hit his first major league home run off Gaylord Perry.
12:52
That was in the National League, and he hit his first American league home run off Gaylord Perry.
12:58
Maybe he could hit his first New York Yankee home run off Gaylord Perry.
13:02
Well, Mayberry, a low ball hitter, and of course, when Perry loads the ball up, it usually sinks.
13:08
There's a pitch to suck down and away, one-and-one on Mayberry.
13:13
No score, top of the first.
13:16
Bumprey, who tripled in the third base, the two outs.
13:21
On deck is Dave Winfield.
13:26
With Bumprey's third, Perry taking a set position.
13:29
He's not winding up.
13:31
The pitch to Mayberry, checks wing, a low, two balls, and a strike.
13:36
This is a good park for the long ball hitter.
13:39
316 down the right field foul line and the left field foul line, 410 feet straight away.
13:45
Understand they used to have signs 356 left center-right center, but it's closer to 336.
13:54
Two on Mayberry, swung on foul to first foul, that by Mike Perero, the Yankee first base coach, two and two.
14:01
So I understand the wall in right field is extended for the 1982 season.
14:05
Is there an extra?
14:06
Higher?
14:07
It looks higher.
14:09
Double, though.
14:10
Frank Buster says the height's double out there.
14:13
Not having seen this park, this is the first time here in Seattle, but they just put too many outs in right field, I guess, so they put an extension on it.
14:24
23 feet high.
14:26
Now, Perry's set.
14:28
Two to Mayberry, checks wing, low, ball three, three and two.
14:34
That wall evidently used to be 11 feet, six inches all the way around, but starting out in a little bit in right center field, almost straight away center, they added another 12 feet, right?
14:48
Yep, made it 23 feet.
14:51
So now Perry's going to wind up as Muffrey moves off third base.
14:54
Here's the payoff fix to Mayberry.
14:56
Swung on, popped up left side, the truck stop, Todd Cruz is there, makes the play and now reaches out of the side.
15:02
The Yankees in the first inning, no runs on one base yet, and they leave Muffrey at third base.
15:07
That's the end of what happened in the play.
15:09
The Yankees nothing, the Mariners are coming to back.
15:12

16:47
...the Yankees tonight. Doris Watt was to the Detroit Tigers when he was defeated 7-2 in a game at Yankee Stadium, and then he had a no-decision game against Gaylord Ferry in the Seattle Mariners last Friday night.
17:02
He went 7 innings and when he lost the game, the Yankees were leading, and Goose Gottfried was on to try to save it for him, but Goose was roughed up in the ball game, and he was the losing pitcher.
17:13
Gaylord is 0-1, got fired this year, and right-time against the...he had a probably 5-4, but all of his decisions against Seattle have been from his time with the Texas Rangers when he pitched with them.
17:27
Here are the Mariners now, Julio Cruz to lead it off, but once again, Bill.
17:31
All right, John first picks the Cruz, takes the curve ball for Coltschreis.
17:35
Julio is flicked hitter, batting 229. The home run 5 runs batted in.
17:40
Bottom of the first scoreless ball game, Cruz, Chantillo, and Bakke against Joel Alexander.
17:46
Bat ball, big punt taken high, hits one and one.
17:51
Oh, the Mariners have recalled former Yankee Bobby Brown.
17:55
Dave Henderson has been placed on the disabled list by the Mariners, and Bobby Brown has been recalled.
18:01
1-1 pitch, but it fouls back up on the straight.
18:05
One ball, city strikes on Cruz.
18:12
Molly, the third baseman, centers the shortstop, Wully Randolph in second, and John Mayberry, the first baseman.
18:20
Winfield and Lefman-Pfrey in center, and Ken Griffey out in right. They're playing Cruz straight away, not too deep.
18:26
The 1-2 pitch, fouls for second, Randolph's guard, digs it up, goes on the first base, and Cruz is the first stop here in the first inning.
18:34
Well, Bill, the Texas Rangers go down to defeat for the 12th straight time. Boston beat them 5-2.
18:39
Now, that means that the Red Sox will be 18-8 on the year, and the Yankees would have to win here tonight just to remain 6-1-1 behind the Eastern Division leading Boston Red Sox.
18:48
To the ninth of Minnesota batting and trailing, Milwaukee, 6-2. Baltimore, California, Cleveland, and Oakland, other American league games tonight.
18:57
Here's Manica Theo, another switch hitter in left-handed, and he takes the pitch low and away, ball one.
19:03
You can read how a Texas loss last night.
19:06
Yeah, they've had like three or four losses in the streak that have been just like that, very bizarre.
19:11
1-0 pitch is a cold strike, it's 1-1. Put on the hit-and-run with the base and loaded one out.
19:17
Picture the hitter doesn't get the hit-and-run.
19:19
Bill Stein, I think, missed it in the A.F.
19:22
They lose 6-4.
19:25
Here's the 1-1 pitch to Kat Theo, bounce towards second, Randolph Garges plays the big hop, little flicks to their very first baser to us.
19:33
Rangers had a couple of games where they were leading late in the game, and the double play would have ended the game and stopped the streak,
19:39
and they threw the ball in the dugout both times to keep innings alive and keep the losing streak alive.
19:44
Metz and Frisco, rain delay, 3-3 at J. Stadium.
19:48
Dodgers beat Montreal 3-2 in Philadelphia.
19:51
Bombarded San Diego 12-7, and a game at the Vets tonight.
19:56
All right, here's Bruce Bocchi, the left fielder, batting 3-26, and he takes outside.
20:00
Bocchi, a left-handed batter.
20:02
The home run, 10-runs batted it.
20:04
Yankees play it straight away.
20:08
Too hot, nobody on, no score, bottom half the first inning.
20:12
Alexander's best ball is low, it's 2-0.
20:17
Doyle is 0-1 this year for the Yankees, making it his third start of the year as an ERF 4.15.
20:26
Ross Dixon deals the 2-0 pitch.
20:28
Bocchi takes high ball three.
20:31
On deck is Richie Zitz.
20:36
San Francisco just scored 2 in the ninth and now leads 5-3 over the match, so the game has resumed after the rain delay.
20:44
Fastball hits Zitz, Pippen and Zitz right center field, FW up against the wall.
20:48
Bocchi up against the wall, and Bocchi will go into second base with a stand-up double.
20:53
Bocchi got a green right on a 3-0 pitch, got a fastball, and Dildon in the right center field for a stand-up double.
21:06
Now these teams hitting the ball hard after two men are up, one free triple after two men were down on the first inning, but he was left stranded when Mayberry popped up.
21:17
Bocchi just got the green right on a 3-0 pitch, Dildon in the right center field for a stand-up double with two out here in the bottom of the first.
21:24
That'll bring on Richie Zitz, the designated hitter for the Marlins.
21:28
He's batting a 3-0-1, a 2-0 run, and then runs back at it.
21:37
Alexander wants another sign, now the right-hander steps, and the pitch to Zitz, fastball, one on a miss.
21:44
No ball on center track.
21:50
Bocchi has a short lead at second base.
21:55
Oh, he takes a couple more sets.
21:58
Alexander getting a sign, now he's at check.
22:02
And backs off, and Bocchi goes back to second.
22:06
Now time to call.
22:07
Roman wants to talk to Alexander.
22:10
Oh, this is the first of four teams that'll be playing here between the Yankees and Seattle Marlins, and honestly I think the Yankees need to win all four.
22:20
They won nine, lost 13 this year.
22:24
Got to get back at 500 again and work from there.
22:30
Now Alexander's set, and the pitch in the dirt, blocked nicely by Sir Olenich, one and one.
22:38
I think the Yankees want to try to avoid, I think more than anything else, Bill with Boston and Detroit playing as well as they are right now.
22:44
You don't want to get 10, 11 games behind, and they're six and a half back right now.
22:48
So putting together a little win streak on the road trip certainly would help their chances of staying or gaining on the Boston Red Sox.
22:56
Oh, yes, normally don't play well here at the Kingdome.
22:59
Pitch is this, Bill in the center field, oh, Jerry Buprey on the run, he's there, back-bending, makes the catch, that'll be down the side.
23:06
This hit the ball hard, but Buprey ran it down.
23:09
No runs to base hit, one man left on base at the end of one. Yankees nothing, the Mariners nothing.
23:15
I've had enough, come on Bob, there's nothing like a good run first thing in the morning.
23:21
I've already gone to my best parts and tumbled away. My feet, fresh scrambled eggs, breakfast, sizzling sausage, and golden hash browns.
23:30
Hash browns. Or an Egg McMuffin. McDonald's.
23:33
Start your morning run with the dawn of the sun, smell the cooking in the air. You know McDonald's is waiting there.
23:47
Just a half mile to go, now it's worth it, you know. You're gonna pick up the pace to get the great race to taste.
23:57
You deserve a break today. That was great, let's do this every day. Run, every day.
24:05
You'll get up this morning and get away. I said run, I'll bring the car and meet you here. To McDonald's.
24:14
There's a heritage at Anheuser-Busch that says never be satisfied until you've achieved the best.
24:23
Budweiser light with its clean distinctive taste lives up to that heritage.
24:29
Bring out your best Budweiser light. Bring out your best Budweiser light.
24:36
The best never comes easy, that's why there's nothing else like it.
24:41
Budweiser light.
24:43
Anheuser-Busch, St. Louis, Missouri.
24:46
I have a note from the game at Anaheim with the California Angels and the Baltimore Orioles.
24:54
Tiffy Martinez is now pitching for Baltimore in the first inning. Jim Palmer, who started, faced only two batters and left the game with an injury.
25:01
The report's to follow, so we'll see whether or not it's a serious one to the Orioles' right-hander, Jim Palmer.
25:06
All right, John Day Winfield against the Gaylord's Perry, top of the second of the Cornwall ball game.
25:11
It'll be Winfield and Gamble and Roy Smalley against their right-hander. Winfield now batting a 2-91, three-ohm run.
25:17
D'Lea's Yankees with 16 runs batted in.
25:22
Perry wants another sign from Bullingham, gets it, and the first pitch to Winfield.
25:26
Swung on, drilled, fouled on the right side. That'll make the deep sonata play.
25:36
No ball is in to strike on Winfield.
25:46
They play Winfield straight away and deep the left field with Bocke.
25:52
Should be a good ballpark for Winfield.
25:55
The next pitch, Bill Fowle again down the right side.
25:59
Down remain, top soul, to count runs, no ball, two strikes on Winfield.
26:08
Dave took kind of a busman's holiday last night and watched the Seattle Supersonics and the San Antonio Spurs in their playoff game here at the Kingdome.
26:17
Of course, he used to play basketball at the University of Minnesota.
26:21
One of the few players who might have gotten drafted by all three major sports.
26:25
That's right. Here's a two-strike pitch to Winfield.
26:29
Breaking ball, checked his length, and checked it in time. One and two.
26:36
Yankees, by bringing up Balboni, have some pretty big people who'll be in the middle of their lineup.
26:41
Mayberry is 6'3", Winfield is 6'6", and Balboni is 6'6".
26:46
If they should have played the, uh, how big is Balboni, Frank, 6'4"? 6'2".
26:51
Right-message is Balboni, 6'2". Winfield plays, and then this is the hairball.
26:57
Now that's the first, uh, first strikeout for Barry.
27:01
Maybe they should have been playing the San Antonio Spurs last night instead of the Supersonics.
27:06
Winfield and Mayberry and Balboni.
27:09
Molly's not too short either.
27:12
I think Willie ran off the quick guard, right? Yep, little point guard.
27:16
Barry's 6'3", he's a little bit too slow though. I don't know if the guys run around, but he...
27:21
Here's Gamble, off-court batting at 115 with a run batted in.
27:25
George Frazier's 6'5".
27:28
They've got a pretty good basketball team height-wise, but...
27:32
Oh, the Sonny's got a couple guys seven feet.
27:35
Sigma, Donald...
27:38
Ha ha ha.
27:40
First pitch to Gamble.
27:41
Curve ball, come on a minute. Are you gonna coach the team or, uh...
27:46
No, no, no, I would coach the football team. Is that right?
27:50
I'd fastball, I would... I would presumably coach the basketball team.
27:53
Ha ha ha.
27:55
Just have to make sure the coach shows up, that's all.
27:58
Get him off the golf course.
28:00
One strike on Oscar Gamble.
28:04
Barry Roxton deals a one-strike pitch to Gamble.
28:07
Curve, hit in the air center field, backing up Patolia Simpson.
28:11
Now he turns, back-pedaling, and makes the catch for the warning track 2-up.
28:16
Well, here's my Oscar. You know, Bill, I wanted to comment, this is a guy we just gotta get hot here.
28:21
Oscar Gamble, who's been from the left side in the D8 role, coming in at 115, and he's a street-hitter,
28:27
and maybe he can find it here on this road trip and really get things going for himself and help the agents.
28:33
Well, it's a 2-2 off, nobody on. Smalley's a batter, he's hitting 224.
28:38
Two home runs and ten runs that it ends. Smalley a quick hitter and left-handed.
28:48
And the first pitch to Smalley.
28:50
Fastball is too high, ball one. 2-0, nobody on, no score, it's half of the second.
28:58
Yankees on the Seattle Marlins, the first game of a four-game series.
29:01
Yankees took two out of three at Yankee Stadium earlier from Seattle.
29:08
Had to work for those wins.
29:11
1-0 pitch is high, two balls, no strikes on Smalley.
29:18
Perry is starting a sixth game, he has two complete games.
29:21
He's won two loss two with a 3.72 ERA.
29:24
It lasts, of course, coming over the Yankees last Friday at the stadium.
29:27
Now the 2-0 to Smalley, swung on, hits it right field.
29:33
Over the corner is Cowan and he'll get it in and Smalley will hold it first with a table.
29:38
And we'll take ten seconds for station identification on the New York Yankee Baseball Network.
29:43
Stay with the winners. Keep listening to Yankee Baseball on Radio 59, WROW all the way.
29:51
Smalley a two-out single at first base, that'll bring on Rick Cerrone, the Yankee cat.
29:56
Rick batting a 2-0-6, but the home run seven runs bad at this.
30:00
The base hit by Smalley, the Yankees second.
30:03
Smalley will be a triple by Gary Mumfrey with two outs in the first inning.
30:10
Now Perry taking plenty of time, bending four per side.
30:14
Now he's set. They have the pitch to Cerrone.
30:17
It's in their call strike.
30:32
Now Perry taking plenty of time. Smalley at first base, two down.
30:39
Gaylord set. Looks over his left shoulder.
30:42
The one strike pitch to Cerrone, bounce right back to Perry, backhand.
30:47
Throw to first base, they've got a roll now, retirement side.
30:51
No runs, the base hit. Once again the Yankees lose a man on.
30:55
At the end of one and a half, the Yankees nothing, Seattle nothing.
31:00
There's one thing that most homeowners learn early on.
31:04

32:25
For sports fans, WROW is all the radio you need.
32:36
Well, no score after an inning and a half of play, and the Mariners coming to bat in the bottom of the second inning.
32:41
Todd Crews, Al Collins, and Joe Simpson.
32:44
Bill mentioned that this is the first of a four-game series with the Mariners and the Yankees.
32:49
Floyd Bannister against Mike Morgan tomorrow night.
32:51
Jim Beattie against Robin Goodry Saturday night, and a Sunday night game that starts at 7.05
32:56
will feature Gene Nelson against Tommy John.
32:58
All right, well Todd Crews then against John Alexander in the second inning,
33:01
and he takes the ball to low ball one.
33:03
Crews, a short stop for the Mariners, batting a 3-19, three home runs, eight runs, bat a dip.
33:08
Bottom of the second, and a scoreless ball game.
33:11
Alexander working quickly, overhand fastball, one and one.
33:17
It'll be Crews, Collins, and Simpson for the Mariners.
33:22
Here in the bottom of the second.
33:28
The one-one-fifth to Crews, fastball, low two balls, and a strike.
33:35
Chuck Scott here coaching at third base for the Mariners, and Beta Pempsons coaching first base.
33:45
Now Alexander backs off.
33:49
He wants another side from Sorrone.
33:54
Two-one pitch, breaking ball, swung on, missed two and two on Crews.
34:08
And the two-two delivery, swung on, and missed.
34:12
And the ball going down and in, strikeout number one for Alexander, and there is one away in the second.
34:19
Well, that man had a lot of strikeouts or walks for that matter in the 13-plus innings that he's worked for the Yankees.
34:25
That's only his fourth strikeout, and he's only walked two, but he's that type of pitcher.
34:29
He lets the defense win ball games for him behind him.
34:33
Now Collins, the right fielder, is batting 186 with four home runs, and he 11 runs batted in.
34:38
He's a right-handed hitter.
34:41
And the first pitch to Collins, curve ball, breaks down and in for a strike.
34:46
No balls and one strike on Collins.
34:52
Collins stands well off the plate.
34:54
The one-strike pitch, fast ball, just a bit low, which one at once.
35:01
One out, nobody on, playing the bottom of the second here at the Kingdome.
35:04
No score in the ball game.
35:12
Here's the one-one pitch to Collins.
35:14
Great change, hit in the air left field, coming on is Dave Wentfield.
35:18
Wentfield is there, and one-handed for out number two.
35:24
So two up, two down, here's Joe Sipton, the center fielder.
35:27
Sipton's a left-handed batter.
35:29
He's hitting 256 this year with four runs batted in.
35:38
Well, if this ball game goes according to the way it's been going, Sipton will get a base hit.
35:51
Alexander's first pitch to Joe Simpson, fast ball, the called strike, letter high, fast ball, strike one.
35:59
Simpson and Henderson have been platooning in center field.
36:02
Now if Henderson had, I guess Bobby Brown will probably play against left-handers.
36:06
And the fast ball misses outside, it's one-and-one.
36:15
Of course, Brown's the switch hitter.
36:17
I think Bobby has some problems hitting right here.
36:20
He does, he's not as good as KJell Brown.
36:23
First, Mayfair has got it, and John will take it himself.
36:26
He touches up in front of Simpson, that'll retire the side.
36:29
Three up, three down, at the end of two, the Yankees nothing, the Baroners nothing.
36:34
Of all the ways that we can thrive, of all the highways through the sky,
36:40
of all the ways that breeze the sun, Eastern, is your number one.
36:50
The pride of Eastern shining through, we earn our wings by sending you,
36:55
come meet us soon, then we'll see why, we're America's favorite way to fly.
37:04
For the third year in a row now, more passengers have flown Eastern
37:08
than any other airline in the free world.
37:11
If you helped make us America's favorite way to fly, we thank you.
37:15
If you haven't flown Eastern recently, give us a try.
37:19
We'll show you we really do earn our wings every day.
37:24
Eastern, America's favorite way to fly, we're Eastern, America's favorite way to fly.
37:41
Ever read a Michelob label? Very impressive.
37:44
Says they use nothing but the finest ingredients.
37:47
Of course, you can taste that for yourself.
37:51
Yes, Michelob drinkers know a good thing when they taste it any day of the week.
38:02
And how do Bush think? Who's Missouri?
38:05
I hear the finals now from games that are played back on the East Coast or in the Midwest.
38:10
Boston beat Texas 5-2, and that's 12 straight losses in a row for the Rangers.
38:15
Milwaukee is a 6-3 winner over Minnesota.
38:18
The Coast games just starting, California leads Baltimore 2-1 after an inning of flag.
38:22
Cleveland didn't score against Oakland and Steve McHenry in their game at Oakland.
38:27
The Giants beat the match 5-3. Dodgers beat Montreal 3-2.
38:31
And Philadelphia beat San Diego 12-7. And here's the...
38:35
All right, John, Bucky then up against Gaylord Perry.
38:38
Top of the third of scoreless ballgame, the first pitch is outside, ball went.
38:43
Bucky batting at 182 with two runs batted in.
38:46
And then back up top with Randolph and Ken Griffey.
38:53
Perry's 1-0 pitch to dip.
38:55
Swung on popped up right side in foul territory.
38:58
The first baseman, Jim Mailer, he's calling.
39:01
And makes the catch for the first up.
39:04
I want to mention that Frank Messer will have all the scores of all the games with the particulars.
39:08
The winning and losing pitchers, home runs, updates on the standings on the Getty Scoreboard Show after a broadcast tonight.
39:15
Willie Randolph has been up once, bounce the first.
39:22
Willie, now it's 3-37.
39:29
Perry goes through the ritual of peeking the cap, the hair to the air.
39:35
A thunder on the brow, rods and bags.
39:38
The hair again to the peek of the cap. Now he's ready.
39:41
First pitch to Randolph is a called strike, a slider on the outside corner.
39:54
The third baseman, Manny Castillo, even with the bag there.
39:59
Randolph backs out, now he's back in.
40:04
Perry's one strike pitch to Randolph. Check swing low, it's one and one.
40:11
Yankees have a two-out triple by Mumford in the first inning, he was left-stretched.
40:15
And a two-out single by Manny in the second, he was left-stretched.
40:19
They've got no runs on two hits, the Mariners no runs on one.
40:22
Surely we're just in the top half of the third inning with one out, nobody on.
40:26
Perry's one-one pitch to Randolph. Swung on and bowled back, it's one and two.
40:31
And the Perry gets a new baseball.
40:49
Forty-three years old, two hundred and ninety-nine wins.
40:56
One-two pitch, low, thinker, two balls, two strikes on Randolph.
41:09
Spotlight certainly is on Gaylord denying to win number 300 and become one of 15,
41:14
but he's also got a chance to become eventually the leading strikeout artist in Major League Baseball.
41:19
Top of the third, big hop there for Castillo. High throw to the first and a two-out first base is in.
41:24
And it'll go off to right field and Randolph will cruise in the second base.
41:28
And Cowan's right fielder corrals the ball and the Yankee bullpen down the right side.
41:33
That should be a two-base error on the third base with Manny Castillo.
41:38
Whoa, he threw that one away, didn't he?
41:40
Well, he's got a good arm. We saw in New York that he had an excellent arm.
41:43
Right. That just got away from him. And Baylor's such a big target over his first base.
41:48
He's got great size. He goes like about six-five and ball went way over his head
41:52
and down to the right field bullpen area.
41:54
Willie had to play in front of him for the most part so he could see where he could gain second base,
41:59
tear him off the wall.
42:01
So a two-base throwing error charged to Manny Castillo.
42:04
The Mariner third base and Randolph at second base has run away.
42:07
Here's Ken Griffey.
42:08
Griffey's been up once, bounce to set.
42:10
To set and to fit.
42:11
Plunk on and foul back. No balls and a strike on Griffey.
42:14
On deck is Jerry Mumfrey.
42:20
Yankees trying to get on the board first here in the kingdom.
42:25
They've had their problems here over the years.
42:27
The Mariner seem to play better here.
42:30
The Yankees don't play as well as they normally play.
42:33
We're going to miss by Griffey. No balls, good a strike.
42:36
Right here the Mariners have taken 17 of the 26 games played.
42:41
So they're 17 and 9 against the Yankees here at the kingdom.
42:52
Overall, the Yankees have 131 lost 22.
42:55
Perry's pitch is quite foul down the left side.
42:59
Back to 17 and 9, dome record against the Yankees is the Mariner's best dome record against all opponents.
43:09
They like putting Yankees up in here.
43:11
Not only do they get their attendance go up, but they play better.
43:16
Or they seem to win.
43:18
Now Perry's set.
43:20
The Yankees are going to play better.
43:22
They're going to play better.
43:24
They play better, or they seem to win.
43:29
Now Perry's set.
43:30
Here's the city strike pitch to Griffey.
43:32
Hose on line, right side right field.
43:34
Randolph around third.
43:36
The canny upie hell there as Cowan gets the ball and throws a strike to Bullock the catcher.
43:42
Looks like it might have been a head-to-the-flank by Alza Belli with the throw coming from Cowan.
43:48
He threw a strike to his catcher Terry Bullock.
43:51
It was well stroked by Griffey and Cowan's had a good play.
43:55
Randolph didn't get a real good break at second base, even with the ball being hit on the right side of the infield.
44:01
And when it made it through, Willie then started to really turn it on and Alza Belli wisely held him up because I believe they would have had him with that throw that Cowan's had.
44:11
Cowan's with a fine throw, holding Randolph at third base.
44:14
So the Yankees have runners at first and third with one down and here's Jerry Mumfrey who's tripled with two outs in the first inning.
44:22
Mumfrey a switch hitter in left-handed.
44:24
Mariner in field back, looks to pitch to Mumfrey.
44:27
Swung on, fouls to short, might be two.
44:29
Throw to second for one, back to first, double play.
44:34
It's four to three and the Mariner's got a double.
44:37
No runs, one hit, one error.
44:39
And the Yankees lead the man.
44:41
At the end of two and a half innings of play.
44:43
Yankees nothing, Seattle nothing.
45:13
Good to see you.
45:15
Night is falling and the Barnett's are up.
45:20
The house is quiet.
45:22
But suddenly the sound of blast shatters the night as a sinister figure breaks the Barnett's basement window and crawls inside.
45:30
Meanwhile across the street a sweet old lady is holding a walkie talkie.
45:35
Breaking and entering on Spring Street.
45:38
Suddenly a slouched figure appears wearing a trench coat and is eating a dog biscuit.
45:44
My Bob lady.
45:46
Now solve that mystery.
45:48
Will the crook get away? Who's the old lady? And who's that eating the dog biscuit?
45:52
Oh what it's me, McGroth the crime dog here.
45:55
And the little old lady is Mimi Marth of Hartford Connecticut.
45:59
She's one of the many citizens working together to protect her and neighborhood.
46:02
And she used her walkie talkie to call the cops.
46:05
The cops just nabbed the crook. That's one way to take out right out of crime.
46:12
A message from the Crime Prevention Coalition and the Ad Council.
46:21
Now Jim Maillard the leadoff batter for the Mariners in the bottom of the third inning.
46:25
He's the number eight hitter in the order.
46:27
Followed by Terry Bulling and then Julio Cruz, Don Alexander and Gaylord Perry locking horns with no score so far.
46:33
First pitch to Maillard is down low ball one.
46:35
Youngster is in a slump. He's over 18.
46:39
He's down into the eighth spot. He's batting 238 on the air.
46:42
Three home runs, 16 runs batted in.
46:45
Big fella, 6'5", goes 230.
46:47
Fastball, then deep to left center on the run is Wilkree.
46:51
And it's up against the wall.
46:53
Bouncing back in towards center field.
46:55
Winfield over there.
46:57
Maillard will end up in third base with a stand up.
47:00
Now that's a way to break the clock.
47:04
Maillard jumping on a pitch out away from it.
47:06
It hit the top of the wall and deep left center field for a stand up triple.
47:10
Normally a ball hit to that area won't go for three bases.
47:14
But Jerry Mumford felt as he was going to the ball that he had a chance of catching it.
47:19
Then at the last moment he discovered that he didn't.
47:21
And he could not play the carry but went by him.
47:24
And Winfield had to chase it down in dead center field.
47:27
By the time he did, Maillard had the three bases.
47:30
So Maillard in third base with a lead off triple.
47:33
And that will bring on Jerry pulling the catcher.
47:36
Pulling batting an even 300 with no home runs and two runs batted in.
47:41
Yankees will have the right side of their infield in.
47:46
Smalls will also play in.
47:48
Now Randolph backs out.
47:50
So Denin Randolph will play back.
47:54
But Mayberry and Smalley will play in.
47:56
First pitch is fouled back and out of play.
48:01
Now the Mariners trying to get on the board first here in the third inning of scoreless ball game.
48:05
But Mayberry is third with nobody else.
48:11
Now Alexander has his work cut out for him here in the third inning.
48:18
He hits that.
48:20
The one strike pitch to Bulley.
48:22
The foul straight down to strike on Bulley.
48:39
Alexander with the new baseball.
48:41
Bulley's the right hand and hitter.
48:46
Jim Eschen wanted to catch Gaylord Perry and Perry's quest for his 300 tonight.
48:50
But Bulley has been doing a good job catching the right hander.
48:54
Now the 0-2 pitch to Bulley.
48:56
Change up, bounce foul outside of third base.
48:58
The count remains, no balls, two strikes.
49:08
Jim Mayberry third base, nobody out.
49:12
Mayler just broke the 0-4-18 this month.
49:16
Takes a short lead there at third.
49:19
And the 0-2 pitch to Bulley.
49:21
Swung on foul, off the pitcher out of the center field, base hit.
49:25
Alexander puts control of the ball, base hit Bulley.
49:28
Mayler scores easily.
49:29
The Mariners lead 1-0.
49:33
That'll be a base hit for Gary Bulley.
49:35
Get a smack back up the middle, bounce off the glove of Doyle Alexander.
49:40
High off his glove out of the center field.
49:45
So Bulley has just given it his third run of the year.
49:49
And given the Mariners a 1-0 lead, and here's Julio Cruz, the second baseman.
49:57
Cruz has been up once and bounced a second.
49:59
He bumps that, it misses it.
50:03
Hot butt by Cruz.
50:05
Strike one, stuff the bat at the ball.
50:07
He didn't go after that one with a whole lot of authority.
50:09
He was trying to get it down.
50:13
Mayberry holding Bulley at first.
50:16
The pitch outside, it's 1-1.
50:20
Nobody out here in the third inning.
50:21
Mariners have taken a 1-0 lead on a leadoff triple by Jim Mayler.
50:26
And an RBI single by Gary Bulley.
50:34
Now Alexander sets.
50:36
The 1-1 pitch, he squares, but soft third.
50:39
Pretty good front, Throne's up, throws the first, and he throws it away off the Randolph's Club.
50:45
Mayler will be held at third base as Cruz goes into second base.
50:51
Throne took quite a bit of time.
50:53
He looked down at second base, not really realizing that Cruz could fly.
50:58
And by the time he came up throwing the first, he threw too late the ball.
51:01
Here it is, Randolph's Club went there to the stands with Bulley going to third and Cruz going into second base.
51:10
That'll be a sacrifice. It'll be an E2.
51:15
That was really a hard play for Randolph at first base because Throne's throw was getting there, so was Cruz.
51:21
The ball actually almost hit Cruz as he was crossing first base.
51:25
It wasn't the opportunity for Randolph to make the play.
51:28
So with runners at second and third, nobody off, and he can deal with the batter.
51:32
He's been up once and bounced a second in field back.
51:36
Chain jump, one that I missed by Kat Dior.
51:43
Mayberry now moves in at first base.
51:46
I moved back a couple of steps, so Johns will have a play of old.
51:50
Randolph and Dent playing at their normal position.
51:52
That's second base and Cruz soft.
51:55
Here's a one-strike pitch in the dirt blocked by Throne.
51:59
It's one and one.
52:01
Mariner's lead one to nothing and threatening to put more runs on the board here.
52:04
They have runners at second and third, nobody else in the bottom of the third.
52:10
One thing, Bulley doesn't have great speed at third base.
52:13
Mayberry can afford to play back just a little bit, small as even with a bag at third,
52:18
but that guy at second base, Cruz, he can fly.
52:22
Alexander has a sign. It's a one-one pitch.
52:26
Chain jump, lifted at the shallow left. Dent going back, he will not get to it.
52:30
Face it. One run score.
52:32
Cruz around third. The throw there will hold him now at third base.
52:36
And on the throw home, Kat Dior goes into second base.
52:41
Throw is from a low turnaround third.
52:44
Winfield really made a good throw to Throne.
52:48
Cruz held up and went back to third base.
52:52
But on the throw, Castillo's not going to second.
52:55
So the Mariners now lead at two-nothing.
52:58
It took a lot for Cartier to stop Cruz at third base.
53:01
He really wanted to score on that play.
53:03
I think he's pretty jacked up and of course that's the way he plays anyway,
53:06
but Winfield would have nailed him for sure had he tried to score
53:09
because Dave had to play right in front of him.
53:12
It was just a little looper in the shallow left field.
53:15
And I don't think Cruz would have been able to score at all from second base.
53:19
So the Mariners once again runner to second and third with nobody out.
53:23
In the batter is Bruce Bocchi, the left fielder.
53:25
He's double in the right center field his first time up.
53:29
Nobody getting loose in the Yankee bullpen.
53:31
Mariners lead two-nothing, two runs four hits.
53:34
Yankees no run three. We're at the bottom half of third inning.
53:38
Here's a pitch to Bocchi. Swung on and fouled back.
53:42
He's got a little bit of a ball and a strike.
53:49
The Mariners using a leadoff triple by Jim Mailer, an RBI single by Terry Bulling.
53:55
The sacrifice and a throwing error on Rick Sorrone and an RBI single by Manny Cacillo lead two-nothing.
54:08
The Yankees seem to be reverting to their former ways playing here at the Kingdome.
54:12
We mentioned the Mariners have beaten them 17 times out of 26.
54:17
Pitch is misses inside.
54:22
A ball and a strike on Bocchi.
54:30
Cruz off third base. Cacillo off second. Nobody out.
54:34
1-1 pitch. Change up. Pop foul off third base.
54:37
Smalley has Rome. Over there in the stands and makes the guess. Cruz has to hold.
54:44
Smalley throws the ball in, but Sorrone blocks it and ends up halfway to third base, chasing the ball down.
54:52
So there's one away. Runners still at second and third.
54:55
Rick played that one like a hockey goalie and just blocked it off of his chest protector.
54:59
The ball rolled in front of him and nearly rolled to where Cruz could have sailed past him
55:04
except for the fact that Doyle Alexander was doing his job and backing up the play at home plate.
55:09
Here's Richie Zisk batting with runners at second and third. One down now.
55:13
Zisk has been up once and flied to Mumfrey and center field.
55:18
On deck is Todd Cruz, the shortstop. Mariners lead two-nothing.
55:23
They're batting at the bottom of the third. Runners at second and third. One away.
55:29
Smalley and Mayberry playing in close. Randolph and Dettback.
55:37
Here's a set. Pitch to Zisk in the dirt. Low and away. Ball one.
55:41
They might pitch around Zisk. Got an open base and Richie, of course, he'll hit the ball wherever it's pitched.
55:48
Gene Michael was up and almost out of the Yankees, I got.
55:52
And was instructing the infield that it looked like they won't give Zisk anything real good to hit here.
55:59
Now the set by Alexander. The one-oh pitch. Low. Ball two. Two and oh.
56:15
Cruz walks off third base. At field. Walks off second.
56:20
Alexander checks it. Here's a two-oh pitch to Zisk. Change up line. Bowel off third base. Ball almost hit to Julio Cruz.
56:29
He had to go down in a hurry to avoid being hit by that line shot off the bat of Richie Zisk.
56:35
They count two balls and a strike on Zisk.
56:44
Alexander gets new baseball and he sets. Two-one pitch. Breaking ball. Gets the inside corner. It's two and two.
56:58
Now Smalley backs up a couple steps to third base. May vary. The first baseman stays in.
57:05
Here's a set. The two-two pitch.
57:09
Swung on. Missed. Struck him off with a ball going down and in. Big strike out for Doyle Alexander. And they're two-ups.
57:16
I wonder how close Gene Michael came to putting Zisk on at two balls and no strikes because with Alexander behind him like that,
57:23
he certainly didn't want to give him anything good to hit that would score two runs. And then he comes back and strikes him out.
57:28
So I know right now they're not totally out of the woods, but at least there's a little bit of daylight.
57:34
Second strike out for Alexander. Now here's Cruz who struck out in the second. Todd Cruz swings and misses the breaking ball.
57:41
No balls and a strike. Two-on-two-on. Mariners leading two-nothing. Bottom of the third. Here's the Kingdome.
57:52
Oh, last night they had 23,000 here to watch the San Antonio Spurs beat the Seattle Supersonics.
58:00
The one-strike pitch. Swung on and fouled back. Two strikes on Cruz.
58:17
Alexander with the new ball. Now he doesn't like it. Flips it in. And Ken Kaiser will give him another one.
58:24
So they count. No balls. Two strikes on Todd Cruz. Runners at second and third. Two outs. Mariners ahead. Two-nothing in the third inning.
58:37
Now the set. The 0-2 pitch. Swung on. Base hit right field. That was 4-2.
58:45
Riffy over quickly. He'll get the ball in the second base. The Mariners now lead 4-0. Cruz dribbling into right center field.
58:54
Floring Cruz. Julio Cruz and Manny Cantillo. And Todd Cruz now has 10 runs batted in.
59:07
Now both those runs are unearned. And it's an 0-2 pitch that's lined in the right center for the base hit. Ten seconds for station identification on the New York Yankees Baseball Network.
59:18
This is Radio 59, WROW Albany, bringing you Yankee baseball.
59:29
Now Cowan's the batter. He takes low and away. One ball and no strikes. Fifth base hit for the Mariners. Well, Alexander scored four runs.
59:38
Yankees have made an error. Soft top to first base. Back easy. Todd Cruz.
59:45
They get for Todd Cruz. Here's the one on notes. Now for the first base. Moves out the dive back in. He's taking. Good move by Alexander.
1:00:01
Cowan's has been up once and slides to left field. Alexander sets. And the pitch. It's a call strike, one and one.
1:00:26
Cowan's batting at 184. He's a right-handed hitter. Here's a one-one pitch. Curve called. Nope, it's a ball outside. It's two and one. Two balls and a strike on Al Cowan.
1:00:52
Here's a two-one pitch. Low ball three. Three and one. Todd Cruz at first base, two outs, and a three-one count on Al Cowan with Joseph at the center fielder on deck.
1:01:14
Here's the three. Nope, he'll go to first base. A little quick move to first by Alexander. Cruz does not have a big lead there.
1:01:28
Now the three-one delivery. Swung on. Face hit right center. Might go in the wall and score a run. Cruz around second. Going for third. He'll score. Cowan's going for three and he'll make it there with a dribble.
1:01:44
And the Yankee bullfinch gets up. Rudy May starts to throw. Mariner's not a lead by nothing.
1:01:56
Now the last two hits, the single by Cruz, Todd Cruz, and the triple by Cowan's, they're really shots. That one made it to the gap in right center and by the time that Jerry Mumford could play it,
1:02:09
Cowan's turned the afterburners on and made it to third with a stand-up triple. Stan Williams is coming out now and wants to talk to right-hander Doyle Alexander.
1:02:17
And as you just mentioned, Bill, Rudy May starts to loosen up in the Yankees bullfinch.
1:02:25
Well, the Yankees will return home on the 21st of May against the Minnesota Twins and on Saturday and Sunday, May 22 and 23, it's McDonald's Yankees Cap weekend.

1:02:45
Excellent tickets for these games and all Yankees home games are on sale now. This is a night battered to come to the plate in the inning.
1:02:52
Joe Simpson battles the first in the second inning. Bearers lead 5-0 and the pitch to Simpson is a fastball over the outside corner strike one.
1:03:01
Now Cowan's at third base, two down. All five runs coming here in the bottom of the third inning.
1:03:08
Simpson top one to third and right there is Smalley, a little humpback liner Smalley, he makes the catch out for down the side. But Seattle's four and five times.
1:03:19
On five bases, one Yankee here and they lead one man on base. At the end of three, the Mariner's five Yankees nothing.
1:03:29

1:05:07
Well we go to the fourth inning here at the Kingdome in Seattle with the Mariners leading 5-0 and the Yankees middle third of the batting order Mayberry, Winfield and Gabblin with the play by play here is John Gordon.
1:05:19
Alright thank you Frank Messer and good evening to you as we bring you the top of the fourth there. The Yankees certainly have their work cut out for them now trailing by a 5-0 score.
1:05:29
And don't you think that Gaylord Ferry has started counting the outs right now with that five spot right Frank?
1:05:35
I'm sure he has no matter how many games you win when you are in a situation as Gaylord is tonight it's got to be just an exciting evening for them.
1:05:44
Well the fans have been very enthusiastic for them and rightly so they'd like to see them get that 300 victory here tonight.
1:05:51
Outside of ball to Mayberry it is one ball and one strike.
1:05:55
John who is making his first appearance in a New York Yankees uniform just recently acquired in a trade between the Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays Mayberry coming to the Yankees and Dave Reverend and Jeff Reynolds.
1:06:07
Reverend with the Yankees and Reynolds who was down on the farm traded to the Toronto club inside of ball and it's two balls and one strike.
1:06:16
Rudy May will start warming up again for the Yankees he had stopped he went into the dugout and he goes back to the bullpen area he may be coming on in the fourth inning.
1:06:26
Mayberry to be followed by Dave Winfield and then Oscar Gamble and the Yankees trailing by five runs after the Mariners scored five on the bottom of the third off of Alexander.
1:06:36
By the way only two of the runs are earned off the doil.
1:06:38
There's a strike the fastball is in and it's now a ball and two balls and two strikes to count to John Mayberry.
1:06:45
Gene Michael very upset at playoff by Ken Kaiser on that call.
1:06:50
Now Gene a very active manager in the dugout and he stands most of the time and you can just barely see him from our vantage point here at the Kingdome.
1:07:02
What can a miss Mayberry goes down to the low breaking pitch and that's going to be strikeout number two of the game for Gaylord Ferry at number one for the Yankees here in the top half of the fourth inning and stepping in will be Dave Winfield.
1:07:17
Mayberry told me that see this is Thursday he hasn't even had batting practice since Monday.
1:07:22
They weren't using him at Toronto and he didn't have a chance to do any hitting until he joined the Yankees today.
1:07:30
He's been used at first base and as a designated hitter for the Blue Jays but his activity with the Toronto Club was not on a regular basis.
1:07:40
Well they upshot them playing first base mostly and I think Nornaden has been the designated hitter a lot for the Toronto Club.
1:07:48
Here's Winfield struck out first time up, bouncer off the glove of Ferry, Todd Cruz at second has it on the first.
1:07:54
A three scoring play will retire Dave Winfield, sharply hit but Gaylord Ferry knocks it down and Todd Cruz at short had time to make the play on the first.
1:08:05
Almost Julio Cruz cutting in front of Todd Cruz to take the play away from him but he got out of the way in time and Todd Cruz throws him out.
1:08:13
Winfield lost the step coming out of the batter's box for some reason and they still got him.
1:08:20
Here's Oscar Gamble now, the designated hitter who flied out his first time up.
1:08:24
You know we had mentioned a little bit earlier about the fact that tonight is the night for Gaylord Ferry if it is to be for him to win his 300th game.
1:08:32
He has 299 career victories. Here's a strike of Ricky Critchicross but he now has 3,366 career strikeouts and it puts him only 142-1.
1:08:45
From becoming the all-time strikeout leader for Major League Baseball, the record held by Walter Johnson of 3,508.
1:08:53
Here's a little loop into the shallow left center on his bocce, he's there, got it for the out and the inning is over.
1:08:58
The Yankees are down, 1, 2, 3 and the floor is setting, Gaylord's first. Perfect inning, no runs, no hits, nobody laughed through three and a half.
1:09:06
The Mariners are leading the Yankees here, 5 to nothing.

1:09:43
It's time to tell you the answer to the Board and Sports Quiz number one and announce our winner.
1:09:51
But first, let's review the quiz.
1:09:53
It's the bottom of the ninth, home team is trailing by a run, they have runners at the corners, first and third.
1:09:57
The opposing pitcher gets the side, starts his wind up, he notices the runner on first has a long lead.
1:10:02
He whips the throw to first, the umpire calls the runner out, ending the game as a loss for the home team.
1:10:06
But wait, the home plate umpire overrules the call.
1:10:09
Waves the runner on third into home, tying up the game, the manager and umpire are joined.
1:10:13
The question, why did the home plate umpire overrule the play, thus allowing the runner on third to score?
1:10:19
The answer, when the pitcher threw to first base, he had already wound up his pitch.
1:10:23
Under the rules, the pitcher committed a bulk, therefore the pick off at first was negated, and all runners advanced one base.
1:10:29
That sent the scoring run home from third. Congratulations to Frank Rader of Schenectady.
1:10:33
He'll receive a pair of tickets to see the Yankees in Yankee Stadium.
1:10:36
We'll have a new quiz on May 7th. Remember with boardings, you're always a winner.
1:10:45
Now we talk about Game of Life Marys, 299 wins.
1:10:49
He has another record, I'm sure a lot of pitchers would like to have, it's going to sound strange.
1:10:53
He's lost 241, I know a lot of pitchers like to have been around the Major Leagues long enough
1:10:58
to have that many decisions even though they might be on the lost side.
1:11:01
Rudy May is the new Yankee pitcher as we surmise.
1:11:04
Joel Alexander, giving out five runs on five hits on the third, is through for the night,
1:11:09
and Rudy May will be pitching to Jim Maylor.
1:11:12
Alright, it was Maylor who started that big inning for the Mariners with a booming triple to deep,
1:11:18
lots centers, first time up, snapping it over 18 slump.
1:11:22
For Rudy May, his sixth appearance, and no record, 12 and two-thirds innings, 11 hits,
1:11:29
and he has made one start, no saves.
1:11:34
Foul back in our play, a ball and a strike to count to Maylor.
1:11:39
Right-handed hitter, big, tall, strong youngster who is trying to make it here in the Major Leagues
1:11:46
with the Seattle ball club.
1:11:48
Here's the pitchers to strike in the outside corner and it's one and two.
1:11:53
Sports ticker updates us on the Baltimore-California game, two to two now at the end of three and a half,
1:11:58
and a footnote on Palmer will give you after this pitch.
1:12:00
Alright, here it is, and it is just why the fastball misses two-two the cup.
1:12:05
Jim Palmer left the game in the first inning with a sore neck, and now they have corrected the relief,
1:12:10
but it was Ross Grimsley who replaced Palmer and not Tippie Martinez as the ticker had reported earlier.
1:12:16
Two-two delivery, swing and a miss, strike three, Maylor is down.
1:12:20
Rudy May opens his relief stint here with a strikeout, and the batter is going to be Terry Bulling, the catcher.
1:12:27
Alexander, by the way, three innings pitching, six hits, five runs, but only two earned,
1:12:33
and he didn't walk anybody and he struck out two.
1:12:36
You know, Rudy May, even though he had a rough hitting his last inning he pitched in his last game,
1:12:41
that was against Oakland in the 13th inning ball game, he had retired at one stretch,
1:12:47
19 hitters in a row over three appearances.
1:12:52
Down low and inside, and it's one ball to no strikes.
1:12:54
I was chatting with Stan Williams today and asking Stan about what he felt the makings of the pitching staff would be
1:13:01
in the next couple of weeks.
1:13:03
He said, I wouldn't see any real different changes at all outside and low of all of two and ohs,
1:13:08
except for the fact that we probably should have six starters with Rudy May as our sixth starter,
1:13:13
or he could fill in as one of the five starters, but there just isn't any room for him to be a starting pitcher,
1:13:19
so he'll be used in long relief, sometimes short relief.
1:13:21
One hopper to Bucky Dennis Short, and on to first, Bulling retired.
1:13:25
Two down in the inning, and the batter is going to be the leadoff hitter in the order for the Seattle Mariners,
1:13:33
Julio Cruz. It really started against Detroit. He retired the last 10.
1:13:40
Then he pitched in relief against Oakland and retired the side in order for 13 in a row,
1:13:46
and then he retired the side in order his first two innings right before last,
1:13:49
giving him 19 straight over the stretch of the three games.
1:13:52
Then his third inning against Oakland, they got to him for three runs.
1:13:56
Here's a swing and a foul back and out of play.
1:13:59
He tackles it one strike to count to Julio Cruz, who has a sacrifice and a ground out,
1:14:04
and is 0-1 in the game.
1:14:06
He reached up the sacrifice, another foul back and out of play,
1:14:10
when Rick Cerrone's throwing here allowed him to first and to second, and then he came on to score.
1:14:17
Rick just took too long.
1:14:18
A look at second base, wondering whether he might get Bulling, who was running between first and second.
1:14:22
By the time he threw the first, he was just too late. Hit Cruz with a throw.
1:14:26
Here's the two-strike delivery. Curve is inside, and it's one and two.
1:14:31
The Mariners have won seven and lost three here at home at the Kingdome.
1:14:37
The Yankees would sure go for a winning percentage in Yankee Stadium,
1:14:40
like the Mariners have been able to total in their first ten home games.
1:14:45
Here's the one-two delivery, bounding ball foul and out of play, and it's still a ball with two strikes.
1:14:52
Yankees just finished that 12-game home stand, and they won only four while losing eight.
1:14:57
And their overall record at home is four wins and ten losses.
1:15:04
One ball, two strikes. Yankees are five and three in the road, swinging a foul on the curve,
1:15:09
and it's back behind, oh, played again, and it is still a ball with two strikes.
1:15:16
Mariners lead it five to nothing.
1:15:17
They got five runs off of Doyle Alexander in the bottom of the third inning, and they did it with five hits.
1:15:24
Here's the line of the one-two delivery, bounding ball on the right side, Willie Randolph charging,
1:15:29
and on to first to retire Julio Cruz and the Mariners in the fourth inning.
1:15:34
That's a one-two-three inning for Rudy May. No runs, no hits, no errors, nobody laughed.
1:15:38
And now through four-full, the Mariners lead the Yankees five to nothing.
1:15:43
I've had enough. Come on, Bob. There's nothing like a good run first thing in the morning.
1:15:49
I've already gone two miles. The best part's just half a mile away.
1:15:52
My feet. Fresh scrambled eggs. Breakfast. Sizzling sausage.
1:15:56
And golden hash browns. Hash browns.
1:15:58
Over an egg McMuffin. McDonald's.
1:16:01
Start your morning run with the dawn of the sun.
1:16:08
Smell the cooking in the air. You know McDonald's is waiting there.
1:16:15
Just a half mile to go. Now it's worth it, you know.
1:16:21
You're gonna pick up the pace to get that great breakfast taste.
1:16:26
You deserve a break today.
1:16:29
That was great. Let's do this every day. Run every day.
1:16:33
You go get up this morning and get away.
1:16:38
You said Ronald, bring the car and meet you here. To McDonald's.
1:16:49
At Anheuser-Busch, our brewmasters face this challenge.
1:16:52
Brew a light beer with a clean, distinctive taste.
1:16:55
One made from the best ingredients and beechwood aging.
1:16:58
Budweiser Life lives up to the challenge.
1:17:01
Bring out your best Budweiser Life.
1:17:05
Bring out your best Budweiser Life.
1:17:08
Bring out your best Budweiser Life.
1:17:10
The best never comes easy. That's why there's nothing else like it.
1:17:13
Budweiser Life.
1:17:15
Anheuser-Busch, St. Louis, Missouri.
1:17:21
Gaylord Perry, 43 years old. You know he only won 74 games in the Major Leagues before his 30th birthday.
1:17:27
He's won 225 since turning 30 years old.
1:17:31
Only two others have won what, more than 200 past 30?
1:17:35
Sy Young and Warren Spahn.
1:17:39
Well, he knows right now that he's on the verge of a history-making night here at the Kingdome in Seattle with a big five-to-nothing lead.
1:17:46
The Yankees will try to see what they can do about getting back into this one.
1:17:50
And the leadoff batter is going to be Roy Smalley.
1:17:52
Swings and misses on the first Gaylord Perry offering and it's no balls in one strike.
1:17:56
Roy has a hit. He's singled in to right his first time up.
1:17:59
The Yankees have three hits from the game.
1:18:01
And they threatened in the third inning but failed to score off the fairing.
1:18:05
Inside a ball and one ball and one strike.
1:18:07
Sy Young won 318 games after his 30th birthday and he retired at the age of 44.
1:18:13
Warren Spahn, who also retired at 44, won 277 games after his 30th birthday.
1:18:21
One ball, one strike to count. Into the line and here's the pitch.
1:18:24
Foul to the right, pass Mike Ferraro at the first base coaching box.
1:18:28
And it'll be a 1-2 count still to Roy Smalley.
1:18:32
Mariners 5, Yankees nothing. We're in the top half of the fifth inning.
1:18:36
Seattle scored five runs off of Doyle Alexander in the bottom of the third.
1:18:43
That five hits in the inning. They were helped along by an air charge to catcher Rick Sarone.
1:18:49
Mailer had a triple in the inning. Cowans had a triple in the inning.
1:18:53
And the pitch. Swing and a high fly in the shallow center.
1:18:57
Here comes center fielder Simpson on. He's there.
1:18:59
Mexiquette to the out and there's one down.
1:19:01
Smalley has retired and here's Rick Sarone.
1:19:04
Must be something about the water. Maybe it's the peanuts down there in eastern North Carolina.
1:19:09
Gaylord and Jim Berry going on for so long.
1:19:12
Gaylord's home, Williamston, North Carolina, is not very far from Hurtwick where Catfish Hunter is.
1:19:18
Catfish Hunter, as his farm, still lives.
1:19:25
Long way from Asheville though. About 450 miles.
1:19:29
Whole length of the state.
1:19:31
I was going to say, it's all the way on the other side, isn't it?
1:19:33
Yep.
1:19:34
Right here is Sarone. He bounced out to the pitcher first time up and he picks a pitch high.
1:19:38
One ball and no strikes.
1:19:40
Gaylord's wife is here tonight along with their 19-year-old daughter Amy.
1:19:45
Two other daughters are at home in Williamston along with Gaylord's parents who are home in Williamston.
1:19:51
The game is on national cable tonight on the USA Network.
1:19:54
I don't know if the Ferries have an opportunity of watching the game.
1:19:58
Here's a foul ball behind O'Blai, picked up quickly by catcher Bulling.
1:20:02
He thought he had it in fair territory, but it is a one ball, one strike down to Rick Sarone.
1:20:07
I believe it's prom weekend for two of Gaylord's daughters and his son is playing ball.
1:20:13
Over the weekend it couldn't be here.
1:20:18
Gaylord got a call from the president yesterday. They had a press conference here in Seattle.
1:20:26
One ancient mariner calling another, huh?
1:20:28
Yeah, that's what the conversation was about mostly.
1:20:37
All right, here's Barry now in a 1-1 offering to Rick Sarone and the pitch.
1:20:41
Strike on the outside corner and one and two.
1:20:44
I believe Gaylord Perry worked in one of Mr. Reagan's campaigns for governor of California.
1:20:50
That was when Gaylord was out pitching for the San Francisco Giants.
1:20:58
Perry had a pretty good line for him yesterday when the phone rang.
1:21:01
Here's the line now and they one-two delivery.
1:21:03
Swing, a miss, strike three, second out.
1:21:06
Third strike out for Gaylord Perry and a batter now is going to be Bucky Dent.
1:21:11
Phone rang, Gaylord answered it, said hello, and the president said, who is this?
1:21:15
And he said, this is Gaylord.
1:21:18
The president said, hey Gaylord, how you doing?
1:21:20
He didn't even have to tell him his last name.
1:21:22
Of course, I think the president knew who he was calling anyway.
1:21:24
Pretty much set up.
1:21:28
And understand the president spent a little extra money on the phone call.
1:21:32
He didn't limit it to the normal three minutes.
1:21:34
He got a long distance.
1:21:36
They spoke three minutes and 35 seconds.
1:21:40
After his over with, Gaylord had some jelly beans and he offered one to his brother who was in attendance.
1:21:45
Here's the strike to Bucky Dent.
1:21:47
No balls and one strike.
1:21:50
His brother's here mad, I believe I heard you mention that earlier.
1:21:52
I talked to Jim for a few minutes before the ballgame.
1:21:55
He looks good.
1:21:56
He's a pitching instructor for the Oakland A's.
1:21:58
I was going to say when you say he looks good, he looks like he could go out there and challenge his brother right now.
1:22:03
Outside and low and it's two balls and one ball and one strike now to count to Bucky Dent.
1:22:08
Jim looks like he's in better shape than came on.
1:22:10
That's what you're saying and you're right.
1:22:12
One thing about Gaylord, he looks his age.
1:22:19
One and one to count to Bucky Dent and here's the offering parry to Dent and a high fly to Lefeuille.
1:22:27
This will be an easy play for Bucky.
1:22:29
He's calling everybody off.
1:22:30
He's got it.
1:22:31
Since that double play ball in the third inning, the Yankees have now seen seven batters go down for eight outs.
1:22:37
No runs, no hits, no errors, nobody laughed.
1:22:39
Now through four and a half, Gaylord Parry in custom win number 300 and Seattle leading the Yankees five to nothing.
1:22:46

Our guest today is J.F. Woolard, the man who proved you can advertise anything on radio.
1:23:19
That's right. What a product, Mr. Woolard.
1:23:21
A bird wash.
1:23:22
You mean a bird bath.
1:23:23
No, I mean a bird wash.
1:23:24
You put your bird on top of your automobile and drive them through.
1:23:27
You get soap scrub, rinse, hot waxed and hand dried, 50 cent.
1:23:30
Question, why do I use radio?
1:23:32
Because it's economical.
1:23:33
I went through one.
1:23:34
Which means we can broadcast a lot more messages to a lot more folks more often.
1:23:37
Do the birds actually do that?
1:23:39
No, the announcers do that.
1:23:40
What do you mean? Do they sit on top of the car?
1:23:42
Well, sometimes they fall off and gum up the whole works, but that's why we use radio.
1:23:46
Excuse me.
1:23:47
We rush right on the air and say, we'll be closed today, a bird fell off.
1:23:49
I call that amazing.
1:23:50
We call it radio flexibility, means we don't have the expansion delay of change in a whole newspaper ad.
1:23:55
Is your bird wash a success?
1:23:56
You bet your shapsucker.
1:23:58
And it proves radio is the way to reach people, because it led to another good idea.
1:24:01
A car wash.
1:24:02
No bird tubs.
1:24:03
Heat them, fill them with water, blow air into them and let them choke.
1:24:05
That's a hot tub.
1:24:06
Ooh, there's another good idea.
1:24:08
Radio.
1:24:09
Red and hot because it works.
1:24:10
For more facts on radio, call the station of the Radio Advertising Bureau.
1:24:14
They brought you this message.
1:24:16
Cheryl, the excitement of Yankee baseball.
1:24:19
Stay with us. Radio 59.
1:24:21
Now we're pleased without Yankee Yankee.
1:24:23
W-O-W-R-B.
1:24:24
The Martin Brothers Taylor and American Pride sweepstakes.
1:24:27
Ciola Cooper, George DiMontalvo and Kevin Dunbar.
1:24:30
All of New York City, our congratulations.
1:24:33
By Manny Castillo as the leadoff hitter, and he lost the deep fly and a lap.
1:24:37
Winfield back at the warning track and leaping up to make the catch.
1:24:41
Castillo's out of the pitch and went away.
1:24:43
That's pretty close there, Frank Messer.
1:24:45
That's true, Castillo hits that ball 360 feet to the wall and he is out.
1:24:50
Last time up he's had a dying quail over Bucky.
1:24:53
That's that.
1:24:54
Got a base hit and run batted in.
1:24:58
All right, here's Bockeye now who is one for two.
1:25:00
He doubled in the first inning and that foul pop to Roy Swalney his last time up.
1:25:05
Now it doesn't take a whole lot to get one out of this ballpark.
1:25:08
Here's a strike in. No balls and one strike.
1:25:11
316 down both the left and right field lines.
1:25:15
Of course there's that extended wall now in right field.
1:25:18
They doubled the height of it from 11 and a half feet to 23 feet.
1:25:23
But Elville is close.
1:25:25
No balls and one strike into the line is Rudy Mang and here's the pitch.
1:25:28
Bounce toward third, bobbled by Swalney.
1:25:30
He might be able to make a play and throws him out.
1:25:33
Good play by Roy on the recovery as he bobbled it momentarily
1:25:37
and then recovered his time to throw out Bruce Bockeye.
1:25:40
Now Richie Zisk.
1:25:42
You know, I tell you, Swalney is not the most graceful third baseman I've ever seen,
1:25:46
but he's made some good plays down there.
1:25:47
That's the bottom line. He's knocked some balls down.
1:25:50
He's got that good strong arm.
1:25:53
He had a strange motion on that one, knocking the ball down with a cross body move.
1:25:58
Recovered it, got the man out with a good throw.
1:26:01
All right, Rudy Mang to Richie Zisk and he's low for a ball.
1:26:04
One ball and no strikes.
1:26:06
Zisk tonight held it loose in two trips, flying to center.
1:26:10
He hit the ball well.
1:26:11
Mumfrey made the catch in the first inning and then he struck out.
1:26:14
Alexander got him.
1:26:15
Here's the curve for a strike on the inside corner and one ball and one strike to count to Richie Zisk.
1:26:25
Into the line and here's the delivery.
1:26:27
Swing and a high fly.
1:26:28
Watch center. This ball's really hit and Mumfrey won't play it out.
1:26:32
He won't get it. He plays it off the wall.
1:26:34
Actually, Winfield is going to play it off the wall and Zisk is going to end up in second base with a stand-up double.
1:26:39
Second down, we've seen the ball hit the wall and bounce back over Mumfrey's head.
1:26:44
Winfield having to chase it down and center field.
1:26:47
That's the first hit off of Rudy May.
1:26:49
It's the seventh of the game for the Seattle Mariners.
1:26:53
And the batter is going to be Todd Cruz, the right-handed hitting shortstop.
1:26:58
And a very big head off of Doyle Alexander back in the third inning with two outs and two on both in scoring position at second and third.
1:27:06
Cruz hit an 0-2 pitch to right field and it was the single that scored two to give the Mariners a four-and-up in league.
1:27:13
Collins then drove across Cruz with a triple to make it five to nothing.
1:27:17
That's the score at the moment.
1:27:18
Strike and a curve to Todd Cruz. No balls and one strike.
1:27:21
Managers and pitching coaches get very upset on key base hits off 0-2 counts.
1:27:30
No balls, one strike.
1:27:31
Here's the set by the left-hander Rudy May as he looks to the runner in second and the delivery.
1:27:35
Check swing, he went around on it.
1:27:37
Low pitch and it is no balls and two strikes to count to Todd Cruz.
1:27:48
0-2 to the count, Cruz batting.
1:27:53
Now the set again is May, looks to the runner Ziskin second.
1:27:56
He just doubled off the left-center field wall.
1:27:58
Elibitch down low and it's one and two.
1:28:01
Well, you know, Frank, there are Yankees fans everywhere all over America.
1:28:05
And I guess there are many that are here tonight trying to root the Yankees from a comeback story here.
1:28:11
I saw some fans in the parking lot before the game from Nevada who have come up to the game.
1:28:15
Great.
1:28:17
Here's the two-strike delivery swing and a miss strike three.
1:28:20
And Rudy May gets his second strike out of the relief stint and retires the managers here in the fifth inning.
1:28:26
No runs, a hit, no errors.
1:28:27
One lap through five, Seattle five and New York nothing.
1:28:33
Of all the ways that we can fly, of all the highways through the sky, of all the ways that greet the sun, Eastern, you sure know our one.
1:28:48
The pride of Eastern shining through, we earn our wings by serving you, come meet us in the freeway where America's favorite way to fly.
1:29:03
For the third year in a row now, more passengers have flown Eastern than any other airline in the free world.
1:29:10
If you helped make us America's favorite way to fly, we thank you.
1:29:14
If you haven't flown Eastern recently, give us a try. We'll show you we really do earn our wings every day.
1:29:23
Eastern, America's favorite way to fly.
1:29:29
Eastern, America's favorite way to fly.
1:29:40
You ever notice all the beers these days talking about their fancy ingredients?
1:29:44
Special barley from here, exotic hops from there.
1:29:48
Funny thing is, they've been making nickelode like that for years.
1:29:52
They just don't talk about it.
1:29:54
Don't have to.
1:29:57
Oh, you can use a label if you're really interested.
1:30:00
It says right here every ingredient used is the finest obtainable.
1:30:04
Makes sense. Otherwise how can nickelode be so good?
1:30:09
I suspect the people who brew nickelode figure beer drinkers know a good thing when they taste it.
1:30:14
And I appreciate that because I don't want to spend my weekend, or weeknights for that matter,
1:30:19
pouring over long lists of ingredients.
1:30:22
When I can spend that time pouring another nickelode.
1:30:26
Oh, it can be a week.
1:30:31
Anheuser-Busch thing, Lewis New Jersey.
1:30:35
Okay, here's the sixth inning now, the leadoff batter for the Yankees.
1:30:39
Top of the order, Willie Randolph, first offering from the right-hander, Gaylord Ferry, outside of all one ball and no strikes.
1:30:45
And the slider is across, and it is one and one.
1:30:50
Five-nothing, Seattle leading.
1:30:52
And the Yankees batting in the top half of the sixth inning.
1:30:55
They've been out hit seven to three.
1:30:57
There are two errors on the board, one for the Mariners.
1:30:59
That was charged to third baseman, Matty Castillo.
1:31:02
And one for the Yankees, charged to Rick Sorrone.
1:31:04
Randolph is 0 for 2 in the game, out of it.
1:31:07
Outside of all, and 2 and 1 now to count to Willie.
1:31:11
He was out bouncing through the first baseman, Maylor, and assisted his first time up.
1:31:16
And then reached in an error, charged to Castillo in the third inning.
1:31:21
All the Mariners runs came in the bottom of the third, and the five with nine men batting, giving them the lead at five to nothing.
1:31:29
A pie, 3 and 1.
1:31:31
Randolph has not won to anybody, and he has struck out three.
1:31:41
Three balls and one strike to count, right-handed hitting Willie Randolph.
1:31:52
And Randolph, and here is the delivery.
1:31:55
Five at the letters, and 3 and 1.
1:32:01
Three more with Seattle tomorrow night, Saturday night, and Sunday night.
1:32:06
Sunday night game will start at 10 o'clock Eastern Standard Time, 10.05 actually.
1:32:12
And the pitch.
1:32:13
Bounding ball right out in front, Gaylord very quickly off the mound.
1:32:16
He's got it fired to first.
1:32:18
Willie Randolph out, one down, and before 10.50 steps in,
1:32:21
let's pause 10 seconds for station identification on the New York Yankees.
1:32:25
Baseball Network.
1:32:26
Don't miss a second of the action.
1:32:28
Keep tuned to Radio 59, WROW Albany.
1:32:38
Right here's Griffey, one for two, can't hit a single back in the third.
1:32:41
He's the last man to reach safely for the Yankees.
1:32:43
That's eight in a row that have been retired by Gaylord Ferry now, and nine outs and those eight batters down.
1:32:49
Yankees had a threat going in the third with no score in the game.
1:32:53
Runners at first and third and one away, and Jerry Mumfrey banged to a 6-4-3 double play that ended the threat, and the inning.
1:32:59
High fly.
1:33:00
Foul I believe.
1:33:02
Yes it is, down the right field line.
1:33:04
That was out of here, but foul.
1:33:06
Griffey comes back.
1:33:07
Boy, he stroked that one.
1:33:08
Wow.
1:33:09
He really did.
1:33:10
Griffey is looking for his first home run of the year.
1:33:12
That almost had it, but just foul.
1:33:14
Well, it's not really that much of a poke to the lower mezzanine here, a bind beyond that extended wall in the right field.
1:33:21
But if you get one up into that second deck, or even into that third deck, you really hit it.
1:33:25
And Griffey's carried into the second deck and just missed the third deck.
1:33:29
All right, here's the 0-1 delivery.
1:33:31
Foul, this one is off to the left and out of play, and it is the balls and two strikes.
1:33:35
I think there have been a couple of balls that have been hit to the third tier of the kingdom here in Seattle.
1:33:45
It seems like Reggie Jackson hit one up there.
1:33:48
One of those.
1:33:50
There's only a second deck in left field.
1:33:53
They don't have the third tier extended all the way around.
1:33:56
The scoreboard is out in the left center field area.
1:33:59
Doug Rader hit one to the second deck in left field, a pine inside, and it's one ball and two strikes.
1:34:07
I think they were saying Bruce Bocke hit one up into the third deck here at the kingdom.
1:34:20
One ball, two strikes a count.
1:34:21
Gaylord Perry working to Ken Griffey, one away, nobody on.
1:34:24
Yankees trailing five to nothing to the Mariners, and it's the top half of the sixth inning.
1:34:28
Gaylord with a big lead here as he goes for that.
1:34:32
There's a fair ball.
1:34:34
Griffey will have to run to first.
1:34:35
Bowling had a little trouble picking it up, and then Griffey goes down and is retired in a 2-3 scoring play.
1:34:41
Now Gene Michael's coming out.
1:34:42
Wait a minute, I think George Belloni might call it a foul ball.
1:34:45
Let's see.
1:34:46
Here's the appeal as Belloni is coming up now to Ken Kaiser.
1:34:50
Now Kaiser is claiming that it was a fair ball, and Gene Michael, if it is a fair ball, is going to argue the call.
1:34:55
The belly is also in, Mike Ferraro is in.
1:34:59
Now Belloni is talking with Ken Kaiser at the moment.
1:35:05
Looks like Griffey's going to get his at bat, and it's going to be called a foul ball.
1:35:09
Ken Kaiser overruled by third base umpire George Belloni.
1:35:13
Now Renee Lachman will come out, and he'll get his two cents worth of.
1:35:19
Now Kaiser is explaining to Lachman, he says, hey, I thought it was a fair ball,
1:35:23
but I've been overruled by George Belloni.
1:35:25
Bill Haller, who is the crew chief coming in.
1:35:28
Nice to see Bill working again.
1:35:30
We hadn't seen him since the accident when he was banged into by Larry Herndon.
1:35:34
That's right, and Bill looks fine again.
1:35:36
I didn't get a chance to talk to him before the game, but it's good to see him back.
1:35:41
Now Lachman continues the argument now with play-off fire Ken Kaiser.
1:35:45
Terry Boykot kicks the ball around at home plate in the area there.
1:35:54
Now Lachman continues his beep, and he does get the last word as he comes off the field,
1:36:00
and Griffey steps back into the batter's box again.
1:36:04
Well, we have the benefit of a replay monitor here.
1:36:06
You mentioned the game was being televised on the table around the country.
1:36:12
If Griffey had run down the first base, there wouldn't have been too much argument on the Yankees' part.
1:36:18
I think he might have been able to beat him, but he stood there and looked at the ball himself.
1:36:22
Griffey swings and lots of high-fly to deep right field.
1:36:26
It is gone, a home run for Ken Griffey.
1:36:29
Well, that stirs the Seattle kingdom crowd even more as Griffey gets second life,
1:36:36
and it's his first home run of the season and the 11th of the year for the Yankees.
1:36:41
Griffey stroked it to the right field seat.
1:36:44
Hit number two in the game for Ken, and the Yankees are on the board here, trailing down by a score of 5-1.
1:36:49
Well, getty-gotter for Ken Griffey, and when you say stroked it, exactly right.
1:36:54
He turned loose to bat with his left hand, following through just one-handed,
1:36:58
but a nice sweet swing by Griffey, which just goes to show you don't have to crank up
1:37:02
and leap off your feet to hit a home run.
1:37:05
I hear it's Gary Mumfrey.
1:37:07
Mumfrey swings and bounds one to second.
1:37:09
Julio Cruz is up and brings it on to first for the out-two down, and Gary retired on a pitch.
1:37:14
Mumfrey won for three in the game now.
1:37:16
He tripled his first time up, then hit to that double play in the third,
1:37:19
and here he's out on the ground ball, second to first.
1:37:22
Julio Cruz to Jim Mailer.
1:37:24
By the way, the home run by Ken Griffey stops the string of retired in a row by Gaylor Perry at nine.
1:37:32
Excuse me, eight with the nine outs.
1:37:35
I hear John Mayberry.
1:37:37
Now Griffey hit a foul ball home run.
1:37:42
That would look like Perry was going to gain the advantage
1:37:45
and get him on that little number out in front of home plate and the overruling.
1:37:48
Founding ball to first.
1:37:49
Mailer's got it.
1:37:50
He'll go to the base himself, and Mayberry is easy up.
1:37:53
The Yankees get a run back, but they still trail by four.
1:37:56
One run, one hit.
1:37:57
The homer by Ken Griffey.
1:37:58
No errors, nobody left.
1:38:00
Two five-and-a-half innings of play at the Kingdom in Seattle.
1:38:03
The Mariners five and the Yankees one.
1:38:06
Bring out the goodness when you bring out the Fry Hoppers.
1:38:09
Bread and cakes naturally.
1:38:12
Taste bakery good as when you bring out the Fry Hoppers.
1:38:16
Goodness for your family.
1:38:19
Cause the Fry Hopper family puts goodness into everything we bake.
1:38:26
So you'll bring out the best when you choose our family name.
1:38:30
It's Fry Hoppers to bring out the goodness in you.
1:38:35
Dad, what's the dog in a trenchcoat doing playing the drum?
1:38:39
Gee, I don't know, Mary.
1:38:40
Maybe he can't play with food.
1:38:42
Oh, hiya.
1:38:43
McBruff, the crying dog here.
1:38:45
You know, I love a parade, but so do most crooks, pickpockets, and purse snatchers.
1:38:49
Because of all the excitement.
1:38:51
Nobody pays any attention to their wallets, purses, watches, or jewelry.
1:38:54
Gee, so when you're in a crowd, watch out for your valuables and help out.
1:38:58
Take a bite out of crime.
1:39:00
A message from the Crime Prevention Coalition and the Ad Council.
1:39:04

1:39:32
For sports fans, WROW is all the radio you need.
1:39:36
The game is played on 77 WABC.
1:39:40
All right, now Collins stepping in now as the leadoff batter for the Seattle Mariners in the bottom of the sixth.
1:39:46
Rudy May, who's working in his third inning of relief,
1:39:48
came in for Doyle Alexander in the fourth inning,
1:39:51
and his breaking pitch is down low for a ball, one ball and no strikes.
1:39:55
Five to one, Mariners lead it.
1:39:57
And they've got it, the Yankee 7 to 4.
1:39:59
Down low and two balls and no strikes.
1:40:08
All right, Rudy May, working to Collins, who has a triple and an RBI of two trips.
1:40:12
He's lied to left first time up wide and three and oh.
1:40:15
Well, they're anticipating, of course, this big win for the Seattle Mariners
1:40:22
and the right-handed pitcher Gaylord Perry here tonight at the Kingdome in Seattle.
1:40:27
Mariners a strike and three and one.
1:40:38
Three balls, one strike, and here's the pitch.
1:40:40
High pop on the right side.
1:40:42
This may be playable for first baseman Mayberry.
1:40:44
He's over near the seats and he's got it right in front of the black seats.
1:40:48
So Collins is the opening out.
1:40:51
I understand, Frank, that they're going to give away, hopefully,
1:40:54
the anticipation of the win, certificates to all those there in attendance tonight.
1:40:58
Also, I was talking to one of the marketing directors of the Mariners before the game
1:41:02
and should Perry win it, they have thousands of T-shirts downstairs
1:41:07
and they have the screen ready to go to where they're going to run off the imprint of the T-shirts
1:41:12
that I was in attendance for Gaylord Perry's 300th win and sell those after the ball game.
1:41:18
So they're looking forward to a big night here at the Kingdome.
1:41:22
That's going to hold the crowd here until the game's over anyway.
1:41:25
That's right.
1:41:26
One ball, no strikes to count as Simpson is the batter.
1:41:29
Here's a bouncing ball hit towards second.
1:41:31
Easy play for Randolph and he brings it out to Mayberry at first for the second out of the Mariners' sixth.
1:41:36
And here's Jim Maylor who started that big rally for the Mariners in the third inning
1:41:40
with a triple to left center.
1:41:43
He struck out against Rudy May in the fourth inning.
1:41:45
One for two in the game.
1:41:47
He scored one of the five Mariners runs.
1:41:50
In that third the Mariners batted nine.
1:41:55
RBI hits from Terry Bulling, Manny Castillo, Todd Crews and Al Cowans.
1:42:01
And Todd Crews' hit was a two-run single.
1:42:03
Foul to the right, not a play, no balls and one strike.
1:42:14
Into the line now and here's the 0-1 delivery.
1:42:17
That's a strike, a fastball is across to Maylor and it's 0-2.
1:42:22
Now Maylor sat out the Tuesday game against the Orioles at Baltimore.
1:42:27
Renee Latchman giving him a day's rest just to try to shake that slump that he's been in.
1:42:32
Wide and one ball and two strikes.
1:42:36
And he came off of that rest on Tuesday and the rest yesterday.
1:42:42
It's that first pitch offered by Doyle Alexander for that triple.
1:42:45
And a ground ball is short, Bucky Dent plays a big hop.
1:42:48
On to first to retire Maylor and the Mariners go down in order in the sixth inning.
1:42:52
No runs, no hits, no errors.
1:42:54
Nobody laps and now through sixth hole at Kingdome in Seattle.
1:42:57
It's the Mariners five and the Yankees one.
1:43:00
The game is over.
1:43:18
Going, going, gone.
1:43:20
So to the man in the blue suit in the fourth row for $15,000.
1:43:24
But I was always flicking my pick.
1:43:26
You can count on the pick.
1:43:32
The privacy of the individual is gradually vanishing.
1:43:35
Uropriscy is growing.
1:43:36
Computers know everything about us.
1:43:38
And pretty soon we'll need Big Brother's approval to flick our own pick.
1:43:44
You know spraying is one of the most efficient economical ways to paint.
1:44:04
Now for those small paint jobs around the home.
1:44:06
Red Devil offers a 100% polyurethane spray enamel to give you a long lasting diamond heart finish.
1:44:12
Features a patented spray that's the closest thing to a professional spray gun.
1:44:16
You can get Red Devil 100% polyurethane spray finishes in a variety of decorator enamel as well as stove and barbecue black,
1:44:24
rust proof primer and super fast drying lockers and other special spray finishes.
1:44:28
Available at all channel stores and your local Red Devil dealer.
1:44:34
Well we go to the seventh and Gable are now looking at that scoreboard up there and seeing nine outs.
1:44:39
That's all he needs to record victory number 300 and the Yankees,
1:44:43
hopeful of getting back into this one, will start it with Dave Winfield at the top of the seventh inning
1:44:47
and here to tell you all about it, Frank Messer.
1:44:49
All right John Gordon, thank you very much and here we go.
1:44:52
The Yankees have only four hits.
1:44:54
A ferry, the one run, a homer by Griffey, Bumpery has triple, single by Smalley and a single by Griffey.
1:45:02
Ferry now to Winfield.
1:45:04
Davis struck out and hit back off the pitcher's glove, fielded by the shortstop that threw him out.
1:45:10
High five on out of the shallow left center field on the first pitch.
1:45:14
Joe Simpson, the center fielder, is under it, makes the catch.
1:45:18
One pitch, there is one away and we'll take a look at Oscar Gable.
1:45:23
Gable has flied to center and flied to left tonight.
1:45:41
Ferry goes through all the motions, touches Bill at the cap, back of the ear, back of the neck.
1:45:45
Now looks down, gets his side from Bulling, the Y at the pitch to Gable.
1:45:49
Strike one and it's gone.
1:45:57
Gaylord takes his time to clean pitches.
1:46:05
For the most part, big winning pitchers work quickly.
1:46:07
Gaylord, a bit of an exception I would say, Bill White.
1:46:10
Yeah, he takes a lot of time.
1:46:14
Starts the wind up and now the one strike pitch.
1:46:17
A low fastball, it's one and one.
1:46:19
I think he wants to make you think a ball, Frank.
1:46:21
He wants to make you think he's loaded the ball up when he is.
1:46:24
And every once in a while he will load it up and get a good singer.
1:46:28
Psychology, a big part of the game of baseball.
1:46:32
He's ready and one-one to Gable.
1:46:35
Get on the ground with the shortstop.
1:46:37
Todd Crews up to throw the first.
1:46:39
In the dirt, taken nicely by a mailer and Gable is out.
1:46:44
Dave Neos, one of the mariner broadcasters, interviewed Jim Barry,
1:46:48
Gaylord's older brother before the game tonight.
1:46:51
He went to Gaylord and he said, what question should I ask your brother Jim?
1:46:56
Gaylord said, ask him how come all those years he threw the spitball
1:47:00
and got by with it and I got all the blame?
1:47:07
Roy Smalley, of all the opposition players, Smalley has hit more home runs
1:47:11
here in the Kingdome than any other player.
1:47:13
He has 11.
1:47:15
More than Jackson even?
1:47:16
Yep, more than any visitor.
1:47:19
And he hits a high foul that's going to be out of play in left field.
1:47:28
One strike.
1:47:31
One strike, maybe that's a park in Texas that Jackson used to hit the ball well.
1:47:35
That's the Texas ball park.
1:47:37
Yeah, Jackson has a record down there.
1:47:42
One strike on Smalley.
1:47:46
Roy is one for two.
1:47:48
Switch hitter batting left, that's coming.
1:47:51
He takes it down low, has the play for downstairs.
1:47:56
Uh oh, now Bill Aller, that ball really went down and Bill Aller now is going to get into the act.
1:48:00
The second base up fire comes in and inspects the baseball.
1:48:03
Rubs it up and gives it back to Perry.
1:48:06
I think Bill just wants to let Perry know that he's back there and he's watching.
1:48:13
On account of a ball and a strike, and Perry again goes through all the bows.
1:48:17
Aller watching from out in right field now.
1:48:20
The wind up at the pitch.
1:48:22
It's high.
1:48:27
Reggie Jackson has hit nine home runs here in the Kingdome.
1:48:32
Roy Smalley 11, Ben Ogilvie, Ken Singleton, and Bobby Gritch of each hit 10.
1:48:42
Reggie Jackson, Dave Reverend, Jim Rice, and Robin Yowd of each hit nine.
1:48:46
Coming into the season.
1:48:47
Dave Reverend?
1:48:48
Yeah.
1:48:49
He has a ballpark he likes.
1:48:50
Yeah.
1:48:52
Two balls and a strike down on Roy Smalley.
1:48:55
Perry winds.
1:48:56
Here's his pitch.
1:48:57
Strike two is called.
1:49:02
Two balls and two strikes.
1:49:04
As we get later and later in this ball game, I feel sure the crowd will react more and more to every pitch thrown by Gayloid Perry.
1:49:14
We're in the seventh.
1:49:15
Two outs, nobody on.
1:49:16
The Mariners lead 5-1.
1:49:18
The wind.
1:49:19
And the pitch.
1:49:20
Outside.
1:49:26
Perry has done a pretty good job of keeping the pitches away from the hitters tonight.
1:49:29
They have not been pulling in with the exception of Griffey who pulled the home run to right center and also ripped a single to right.
1:49:36
And Mumfrey who tripled to right center.
1:49:41
Three and two pitch to Smalley.
1:49:43
High and it's called.
1:49:44
Four, Smalley is on.
1:49:45
That is the first walk given up by Perry in the ball game.
1:49:49
He struck out three, Matt.
1:49:52
And the batter will be Rick Sarone.
1:49:59
You're wondering about our broadcast partner, Phil Vizzetto.
1:50:01
He is a bit under the weather.
1:50:03
He is?
1:50:04
I heard.
1:50:08
And may be joining us tomorrow.
1:50:10
Brian, is that right?
1:50:11
He will.
1:50:14
Why can't you be on the weather two straight nights?
1:50:17
We don't do television until Saturday.
1:50:19
That's right.
1:50:20
We do television.
1:50:21
You better stay under the weather.
1:50:23
Sarone takes one inside, ball one.
1:50:30
Got a lot of uphires in the crowd now.
1:50:31
They want everything called a strike.
1:50:36
Perry in his five previous starts this year has two complete games.
1:50:41
Missed by one out is 299th win over the Yankees in New York.
1:50:46
Out of set.
1:50:47
Here's the pitch.
1:50:49
Foul ball will be coming back out of play in the crowd.
1:50:54
I think we're seeing something here, Frank.
1:50:56
A lot of people say with the free agency and maybe with trading,
1:51:00
the DeClair has no allegiance to a ball club,
1:51:04
and ball clubs are possibly losing identity.
1:51:07
But here's Gaylord Perry signed, what, in March by these people?
1:51:09
Yeah.
1:51:10
Seattle after a couple other clubs didn't want him, released by Atlanta.
1:51:14
And it seems that they're really pulling for him.
1:51:16
I think you pull for events, not for players.
1:51:21
Seems like he's been here 20 years, the way these people are pulling for him.
1:51:23
That's true.
1:51:25
One-one pitch.
1:51:26
It is bad on a check swing and fouls up.
1:51:32
They have not announced the crowd, or if they have,
1:51:34
I did not hear the announcement.
1:51:35
It hasn't gone up on the board yet.
1:51:39
But they're going to be way over their average.
1:51:41
Oh, yeah.
1:51:42
They're only average about 11,000 here.
1:51:44
And this thing might be around 33.
1:51:48
Well, the crowd behind Gaylord Perry, as he has a count of one and two on Seron.
1:51:54
Smallie at first, the set and the pitch.
1:51:57
Locked up, playable on the right side.
1:51:59
First baseman stumbles, recovers, and is under it for the catch.
1:52:04
Jim Maylor stumbled over the bag, going into foul territory,
1:52:07
but he recovered and made the catch.
1:52:09
No runs, no hits.
1:52:10
That's a walk-and-man left there, but 6 1 half.
1:52:14
I'm E.G. Marshall.
1:52:15
Usually when I'm talking to you about Albany Savings Bank,
1:52:18
it's about a specific financial service.
1:52:20
But there are many other general advantages offered by Albany Savings Bank,
1:52:24
such as extended banking hours at many of the offices to conform to customers' needs
1:52:29
and the wide geographic range of offices for additional convenience.
1:52:33
But perhaps most impressive, the 160-year-old tradition of courtesy and interest
1:52:38
offered by every member of Albany Savings Bank,
1:52:41
the Savings People Bank, committed to you.
1:52:55
Bottom half of the seventh inning, and the catcher, Terry Buck Bulling, will lead off.
1:53:00
He has snickered and grounded out, scored a run and batted in a run.
1:53:04
Right-hander, Rudy May on the mound for the Yankees.
1:53:09
Larry Anderson, a right-hander, is in the Seattle ball path.
1:53:12
Rudy's pitch, line, base center to left field, down toward the corner,
1:53:16
Whitfield, which would come off the wall.
1:53:18
And Bulling is on his way to second, throw to second base.
1:53:21
He is safe in second.
1:53:23
Bulling is actually the number two catcher on this ball club behind Jim Essien.
1:53:28
Essien, I am told, was disappointed that he was not named to catch Terry in this game,
1:53:34
just to be the catcher in the 300th win.
1:53:37
But Bulling has caught Terry most of the time this year,
1:53:40
and the management manager says they work so well together.
1:53:44
He said that he hated for Essien not to catch Terry,
1:53:48
but he said that Bulling had caught Terry so well, that's why he named him.
1:53:53
And Bulling has responded with a couple of base hits.
1:53:56
First pitch to Julio Cruz, fouled off to the right side, strike line.
1:54:00
He's caught a four-hitter so far.
1:54:02
Yes, he has.
1:54:03
Only one walk and three strike-ups.
1:54:08
Bulling at second, nobody out.
1:54:10
5-1 Mariners.
1:54:11
The set by Rudy May, the corner man looked for the bot.
1:54:13
He's got the ball, he's got the ball, he's got the ball.
1:54:16
The set by Rudy May, the corner man looked for the bot.
1:54:18
He takes the bat away and a strike is called, 0-2.
1:54:23
Cruz tonight is 0-2, reached out an error in the third inning, following a sacrifice bot.
1:54:31
Sorrano took a little too much time looking for the runner going to second base,
1:54:34
was Bulling and threw the ball away at first.
1:54:38
May with the 0-2 pitch, blowing in.
1:54:52
Early Gus Wynn was 43 when he won his 300th game.
1:54:56
May comes, blow and foul-tip, just foul-tip it on a check-swing.
1:55:08
That was in 1963.
1:55:13
Early never won another game.
1:55:17
I guess you win 300, that's enough.
1:55:20
Well, don't tell Cy Young that.
1:55:22
No, I don't converse with Cy anymore.
1:55:27
I don't think anybody does, except maybe one person.
1:55:29
But what do you do, he won 511.
1:55:32
Yeah, he was, well they named the award after him.
1:55:36
He was the, I guess the, bigger the greatest ever.
1:55:41
The set by May, the 1-2 pitch.
1:55:43
High outside off the net and on to third base goes Bulling.
1:55:47
So, Rowe got leather on him but couldn't hold it.
1:55:50
And we'll see how the official score will roll in a wild pitch.
1:55:54
That's a curve ball, evidently the curve ball is signed.
1:55:56
And so Rowe thought the ball would come to him.
1:55:58
And Rudy let the curve ball go a little bit too soon.
1:56:01
It stayed up, it did not break at all.
1:56:03
And so Rowe tried to backhand the ball.
1:56:06
You might call that a backup curve ball.
1:56:09
It didn't break like it should, got past Rowe.
1:56:12
So a wild pitch puts the runner at third and Yankees have to pull the infield in now.
1:56:16
With a count of 2-2 on Julio Cruz.
1:56:22
The set by Rudy May and the left hander's pitch.
1:56:26
Low and inside, 3-2 count.
1:56:33
Cruz is a little better hitter for average left hand at that right hand.
1:56:36
The way he's batting right now against the left hander.
1:56:39
The right hander, the way he's batting right now against Rudy May.
1:56:49
Rudy straightens up, comes to the belt.
1:56:51
Here's the pitch, hit in the air to right field.
1:56:55
Pulling is tagged up, Griffey is under it, makes the catcher come for throw toward the plate and they hold him at third.
1:57:02
Pulling holes on Cruz's fly ball and we'll take ten seconds for station identification.
1:57:07
This is the New York Yankees baseball network.
1:57:13
There's much more Yankee baseball action coming up from Radio 59.
1:57:17
WROW Albany.
1:57:22
Manny Castillo will step in.
1:57:25
He is one for three with a run batted in and a run score.
1:57:28
Right hand hitting third baseman.
1:57:31
Right handed against left hand pitching, gives the switch hitter.
1:57:34
Batting 250 right handed, 130 left handed.
1:57:40
Pulling a third infield and the pitch. A pitch out by the runner with Knott Cutty.
1:57:45
Knott Cutty air goes through the sides again down at third and chats with pulling.
1:58:04
The set by May, no suicide and another pitch out. Two balls and no strikes.
1:58:09
What Gene might be doing here, he might throw a four straight pitch out, or at least another one.
1:58:15
Because he's got a right hander or a switch hitter batting right handed Castillo.
1:58:18
And he's got the left hander boxy up next.
1:58:21
So he does two things, just in case they want to squeeze, they'll have the pitch out.
1:58:27
He also gets around the right handed batter.
1:58:30
No squeeze and the pitch is over for a call strike.
1:58:33
They count now two and one.
1:58:37
And again Castillo steps out, looks down at Cutty air.
1:58:41
Cutty air goes over to the back to talk to pulling.
1:58:47
Infield in, the outfield spread with Mumford shallow in center.
1:58:54
The batters lead five to one.
1:58:56
We'll watch pulling.
1:58:58
He does not come, pitch is hidden here toward left field.
1:59:01
It's deep, it is at the wall and it is off the wall over left field net.
1:59:07
Here comes pulling in the score.
1:59:09
Castillo stops at second, draws a throw, throw gets away.
1:59:13
But he's in there ahead first, no chance to get up and go further as Maybury runs the loose base ball down.
1:59:20
I think Dave might have misjudged that ball, Frank.
1:59:22
He thought it was going out of here.
1:59:23
The ball, he tried to judge a leak to get up against the wall.
1:59:28
The ball actually hit, I don't think as far up on the wall as Winfield thought it might.
1:59:33
The fact that it's pretty low, I think Dave simply misjudged the ball.
1:59:37
And Castillo gets a double and a run batted in.
1:59:41
And the batters now lead six to one, that is their ninth hit, their third hit and first run off Rudy May.
1:59:48
Dave had gone back to the wall, I think he would have made the catch.
1:59:51
But he wanted to get a good leap at the ball and really just hit the eye off the wall in the fifth.
1:59:58
Now left hand hitting Bocque steps in with a runner at second, in field back and the pitch is outside.
2:00:05
One ball and no strikes.
2:00:09
Larry Anderson continues to throw down in the Seattle bat, a right-hander.
2:00:17
May's pitch, swing and a miss.
2:00:21
Rene Lachman, the Mariners manager, told me before the ball game it was strictly up to Gaylord
2:00:28
whether he stayed in or came out really under any circumstances.
2:00:35
He said he expected Gaylord to tell him the truth, he asked him.
2:00:39
If he had occasion to take him out, he said he would ask him.
2:00:44
Gaylord wanted to stay, he said he stays.
2:00:48
He said after all, how many times can a man go for his 300th win?
2:00:53
Only once, that's right.
2:00:56
One-one fence, checked his swing and checked it in time, says Maloney.
2:01:00
Well Anderson's throwing pretty hard down there.
2:01:02
I don't think Gaylord's told Lachman that he might be a little tired.
2:01:14
Two ball one strikeout.
2:01:16
Rudy Reddy and Deos filed it back off the hands.
2:01:19
George Frazier also throwing in the Yankee bullpen.
2:01:23
When early win won his 300th game, he pitched only five innings.
2:01:30
Jerry Walker came in, pitched the last four.
2:01:33
Jerry did the gift saves then.
2:01:37
Jerry's here in the booth with us as one of the Yankee personnel.
2:01:45
Two ball two strike pitch.
2:01:47
On the way, line to left, they sit and Castillo is being brought home.
2:01:53
The throw from Winfield, cut by Smalley.
2:01:56
They've got the runner hung up between first and second.
2:01:59
The ball is scored and Bocke is tagged out by Mayberry.
2:02:03
But Castillo's run counts, making it 7-1.
2:02:06
Bocke gets a single, a run but it in and he is out 7-5-3.
2:02:20
It's now 7-1, Byroners.
2:02:24
A million names in that Cleveland Kansas City game.
2:02:29
When win got his 300th, Dino Fraincola, the shortstop was former Yankee shortstop and manager Dick Hauser for Cleveland then.
2:02:44
I have the box score here in my hand.
2:02:46
I don't remember it myself.
2:02:48
Richie Zitt gets one in the outer right field and Griffey is there for the catch.
2:02:53
But the Mariners have added two runs on three bases.
2:02:57
And at the end of seventh, it's Seattle seventh, the Yankees won.
2:03:01
Hi, I'm Tom Siebert.
2:03:02
You know in 15 years in the big leagues, I've learned that all great teams have the same two qualities, consistency and professionalism.
2:03:09
But winning teams don't just exist in sports, they can be found in everything we do.
2:03:13
A real winner I admire for their excellence in professionalism is American Dynatel.
2:03:18
As a leader in the private telephone industry, American Dynatel has saved businesses more than 30% on their monthly phone bills.
2:03:25
Companies that buy or lease on an American Dynatel phone system can take advantage of a major league staff which custom designs each phone system
2:03:33
and stands behind their work with service 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
2:03:37
I've joined their team because although American Dynatel is a leader, they keep trying to be even better.
2:03:43
That's why season after season, American Dynatel is the winning team in business telephone systems.
2:03:48
To find out more about American Dynatel, call Dave Martin at 800-962-5478.
2:03:55
That's 800-962-5478.
2:04:25
And as a Bush, same Bush.
2:04:30
Well, Gaylord Perry comes out to pitch as we go to the eighth inning and he'll be working to Bobby Mercer batting for Bucky Net.
2:04:46
This has always been a classic confrontation over the years, Mercer and Perry.
2:04:50
So dead after popping up and flying out to left field as God, Mercer will bat for it.
2:05:01
Perry winds at the first pitch.
2:05:04
Now low. One thing about it, there'll be more people if Perry wins his 300 tonight.
2:05:09
More people see his 300 than saw Gus Wins. They had 13,565 in Kansas City.
2:05:16
But I bet you a million people have told Gus when they saw that win.
2:05:19
Oh yeah, sure they have.
2:05:23
Pitch coming, grounded at first base and knocked down, picked up by Malory. Goes to the back and gets Mercer and one out.
2:05:31
Although early pitch only five innings.
2:05:36
He got a key base hit. He let off the fifth inning with a single.
2:05:41
Before the inning was over, Whitman had scored four runs.
2:05:45
So he started a four run rally in a one to one ball game at that time.
2:05:50
When was the next one hitter?
2:05:52
I believe he was a switch hitter. I know he, I think he was a switch hitter.
2:05:56
I used to watch Winn and Lemon, Egan and all those guys, Rosen, all Cleveland players.
2:06:02
There's some other Yankee names in that box score. Jerry Lumpy was the Kansas City second baseman in that ball game.
2:06:09
Charlie Lowe was their catcher for Kansas City.
2:06:14
Willie Randolph steps in, takes inside from Perry. Randolph tonight is 0 for 3.
2:06:21
Grounded out to first, reached on an error and hit back to the box and Perry threw him out.
2:06:34
Wind up by Gaylord. Perry at the bench. Line fouled out toward the right field corner and into the seats.
2:06:42
After early win, one is 300th game. He made 15 more appearances for the Indians in 1963, but failed to post another tryout.
2:07:02
Randolph with a count of one ball, one strike. The Niners are leading 7 to 1, the wind up by Gaylord Perry in the right hander's pitch.
2:07:12
Just a little bit low, but that way wind up by Kaiser says it's a ball.
2:07:18
And again the paying umpires in the box seats and the bleachers disagree.
2:07:30
The wide, the pitch coming. A strike called at the letters and it's 2 and 2.
2:07:48
Here comes the 2 and 2 pitch. Inside with a fastball, 3 and 2 to Randolph.
2:08:04
One out, nobody on. We're at the top of the eighth inning.
2:08:11
Perry winds it up and turns it loose. Randolph hits a right back off the pitching hand of Perry. Failed it by Todd Cruz, throw to first.
2:08:19
Randolph is safe at first base.
2:08:24
Perry may not have touched that ball. I don't know. He did, it just barely flicked his throwing hand.
2:08:29
I think it's just got his throwing hand, Frank, it slowed it down enough for Willie to make it. Cruz had to come in from second base.
2:08:36
He was off behind Gaylord Perry. And Cruz got rid of the ball quickly.
2:08:41
Perry closed play at first base. Very close. The first base up by Jerry Doudeker gave the ball to Willie Randolph.
2:08:48
That is the Yankees' step in of the game. And with a man on and one out, here's Ken Griffey who has two of the five bases including his first, the 1982 and obviously his first Yankee home run.
2:09:04
Griffey two for three with a homer and a single grounded out his other grip.
2:09:08
Perry checks Randolph with a look to pitch to Griffey. He's outside, ball one.
2:09:15
Third baseman Manny Castillo gets Gaylord's attention to tell him that Mailer wants to let him know he's going to play behind Randolph now at first base.
2:09:27
Mailer's going to play the hitter and not the baserunner.
2:09:33
Perry sets and his pitch. A strike is called as he threw a breaking pitch that time to Griffey.
2:09:40
One ball, one strike. There's one out.
2:09:45
To a man, the Mariner players said before the game they were excited and thrilled and happy to be a part of what could be an historic event.
2:09:53
Well, they don't have too much of an opportunity to be excited about anything.
2:09:57
That's very true. One-one bench and Griffey bumps a butt and a strike is called.
2:10:04
The flag one try running butt that time for a base hit and guys are called to the strike. It's one and two.
2:10:18
That's the chowder of Gaylord in the background. One and two count on Griffey. Gaylord started up and stepped off. Broke the motion.
2:10:34
Nice starts up, comes set, the pitch coming. Get through the left side, base hit in the left field.
2:10:39
Randolph will have to stop at second as Buckeye feels the ball and brings it back in.
2:10:45
Griffey has his third hit of the game.
2:10:48
I think Ken likes it on the surface. Although he has said in the past that it's not good for his knees.
2:10:54
If he could play offense on it, play defense on grass, he'd probably be a lot more happy.
2:11:03
Well, he's got himself his third hit of the night.
2:11:09
And the batter will be Jerry Mumfrey. First game this year Griffey's had three base hits in a ball game.
2:11:19
Mumfrey tripled his first time up, then ground it into a double play and ground it out to second.
2:11:25
Takes a little fastball, ball one.
2:11:29
In the first inning with two outs Mumfrey drilled one up the outing and right center and went to third.
2:11:36
Mayberry popped up with that inning.
2:11:39
Then with runners at first and third and one out in the third Mumfrey ground it into a double play, started by the shortstop.
2:11:45
The pitch, wide base hit in the left field.
2:11:48
Randolph is held at third as again Buckeye gets the ball back in quickly and the Yankees have the bases loaded.
2:11:55
Three consecutive singles and the Yankees have loaded the bases against Gaylord Berry here in the eighth inning.
2:12:04
Once again the Mariner bullfin gets busy, left hander and the right hander up and they'll start throwing.
2:12:11
Probably Vandeberg the left hander and I guess might be funneled right hander until we can verify.
2:12:20
You're right.
2:12:23
Dave Duck and the pitching coach now jogging out to the mound.
2:12:26
He will give Scott Holand and Vandeberg more time to get loose. Bases loaded, one out and John Mayberry's a batter.
2:12:34
I don't think the left hander Vandeberg has had an opportunity to get loose enough to pitch to Mayberry.
2:12:40
So Mayberry is a pitch to being against Gaylord Berry.
2:12:44
Boston over section five to two, four in a row for the Texas Rangers on the left side.
2:12:50
Milwaukee beat Minnesota six to three. Baltimore and California tied two-two after seven and a half and it's open three.
2:12:57
Cleveland won at the end of six, right?
2:13:00
Mayberry with the bases loaded Bill, he's open three tonight.
2:13:03
Has not had the ball out of the infield. Full wind up by Berry and the pitch. Swaying on the miss by one.
2:13:09
You mentioned Dave Duck and the pitching coach going out. He used to be Gaylord's catcher. In Cleveland he caught Gaylord.
2:13:24
Infield back, shaded around to the right side. The outfield deep and the pitch. Foul out of play on the left side. That'll be in the crowd.
2:13:32
No ball, two strike out on Mayberry. Something was interesting to learn from Mayberry and I know that you and John talked about it earlier.
2:13:40
That his first ever major league home run came off Gaylord Berry and also his first American league home run came off Gaylord Berry.
2:13:47
John said something else. He said 17 years ago, evidently the Yankees drafted him.
2:13:53
I didn't get any further into it with him, but he said I should have been here 17 years ago.
2:14:01
No balls and two strikes on Mayberry. The pitch strikes big time.
2:14:06
That's a big strike out for Perry. Second time he's got Mayberry.
2:14:17
Perry is pretty gaugy. They like to go to him with the young pitchers on the fair.
2:14:23
Now he threw Mayberry a pitch outside. Mayberry just got a piece of him and followed off off the left side. Mayberry probably thinking he's going to go back out there and get a waste one.
2:14:33
Came back on the inside corner with a good pitch and John just walked away.
2:14:37
They tell me the young pitchers on this staff, when Perry is not pitching a ball game, they fight for a seat next to him on the dugout bench to listen to it.
2:14:46
They tell me he's been great with some of the kids on this club. Two outs and he'll pitch to Winfield where the bases loaded.
2:14:54
Again the full wind up and the pitch. Winfield bounces it off the plate. Perry's got to wait for it to come down. Bare handed, throws, save, and the run scores, they said.
2:15:06
Perry weighed that one very well. He did not glove it. He took the high bounce, waited for it in his bare hand to try to save half a second.
2:15:16
But his throw was not in time. Winfield has a single off the plate driving in Randolph and it's now a 7-2 ball game Seattle.
2:15:24
And a grand slam here will put it right back up pretty close.
2:15:34
The batter will be Oscar Gamble with the bases loaded.
2:15:46
Perry takes a little time now. He's allowing the men on the bullpen extra time to get warm.
2:15:53
You imagine all the media attention that Perry has had in addition to having to pitch a ball game. That takes a lot out of a man.
2:16:01
He winds and the pitch. He throws a strike to Gamble.
2:16:08
Griffey at third, Mumfrey at second, Winfield at first. It was Winfield's 17th run batted in this year.
2:16:19
No balls on a strike on Oscar Gamble. Oscar's 0 for 3. Here's the pitch.
2:16:25
And it is hit sharply on the ground to the shortstop. Throw to second. Safe. Julio Cruz got there too late.
2:16:33
As Winfield beat him to the back and it's now a 7-3 ball game as Griffey is in the score.
2:16:39
Very odd lineup for the Mariners. They had Cruz at shortstop almost out in shallow left center.
2:16:45
And Cruz, Julio Cruz at second base was playing deep and playing Randolph playing Gamble a full.
2:16:51
It became a foot race between Julio Cruz and Dave Winfield and Winfield beat him to second base.
2:16:58
They're going to give Gamble a base hit and a run batted in.
2:17:06
And now Roy Smalley, if we don't get Smalley, leads all visiting players in homerang in this ballpark.
2:17:12
Home run here tied up. Bases loaded and the pitch is fouled back.
2:17:17
Strike one. Smalley tonight is 1 for 2. He is single, fly to center and drawn the only walk given up by Gaylord Perry.
2:17:30
A dying run is at the plate.
2:17:35
Now it's Mumford at third. Winfield at second. Gamble at first.
2:17:40
Perry again, the full windup. The 0-1 pitch to Smalley. Popped up at a shallow left. Here comes Mochte calling for it.
2:17:48
Andre makes the pass. Yankees score 2 and lead 3. And in the middle of the inning, it's Seattle 7, New York 3.
2:17:58
Bigger is better, especially when it comes to shocks for pickups and vans.
2:18:02
And 4x4 Monroe Magnum 60 is as tough as they come.
2:18:06
Almost twice as big as standard one in shocks. Magnum 60 shocks help keep your truckin' firm and stable on road or off.
2:18:13
Right now, buy three, get one free. Monroe Magnum 60 is one big reason America rides Monroe.
2:18:19
They're available at Andie Wood's, Auto Parts, Route 9, Latham, Sand Creek Road, Colony, and Catlin Streets Connected-y.
2:18:25
Offer expires May 31, 1982. Remember, America rides Monroe.
2:18:31
Listen to the art of conversation at its very best. Listen to America Overnight, Monday through Saturday from midnight to 5.30, here on WROW.
2:18:42
America Overnight, co-hosted by Ed Bochendalos and Eric Tracy in Los Angeles, takes a fresh look at the celebrities, the issues, and people just like yourself.
2:18:51
It's the nation's premier talk and call-in show, America Overnight, Monday through Saturday from midnight to 5.30, here on Radio 59, WROW.
2:19:02
Well, Billings, you've got three choices.
2:19:04
What, sir?
2:19:05
You're in tar and feather, you know.
2:19:06
I was just trying to save us money.
2:19:07
You can go on the rack.
2:19:08
All I did was suggest our company cut back on advertising.
2:19:11
And every one of our competitors passed us.
2:19:13
I was just trying to save us.
2:19:14
The best way to stretch the budget is to advertise on radio.
2:19:17
It reaches more people and it targets the right audience.
2:19:19
Oh, I know that now. What's the third torture? Sharing an office with an art director? Is that too real hot?
2:19:25
Radio. Red hot because it works. For more facts on radio, call the station of the Radio Advertising Bureau. They brought you this message.
2:19:33
And Bill, we have the paid attendance. 27,369 has just been announced.
2:19:46
Doc Cruz will lead off the bottom half of the gate. He's one for three. Big base hit. Drove in two runs in the third inning when the Mariners tagged.
2:19:55
Don Alexander for five. Rudy May's pitch. Swing on a miss on a curve ball. Strike one.
2:20:03
In the ninth inning, the Yankees will have Serone.
2:20:07
Milborne, due up. Milborne now short. And then Randolph.
2:20:16
Pitch is a bit high to Todd Cruz.
2:20:19
That went out to the pinch hitting efforts of Bobby Mercer and Larry Milborne is now shortstop.
2:20:26
One more pitch. Get on the ground, back up the middle, and that's going to be a base hit.
2:20:32
On through to center field and Todd Cruz leads off the bottom half of the gate with his second base hit of the game.
2:20:39
The fifth off May and the 11th for the Mariners.
2:20:44
Al Collins, a triple of the show for three trips so far.
2:20:53
The Mariners scored five runs on five hits in the third inning. Jim Mailer led off with a three base hit.
2:20:59
Todd Bulley and a single for the first RBI.
2:21:05
Set by May and the pitch. Dagon for a strike.
2:21:11
Julio Cruz sacrificed and reached when Serone threw the ball away.
2:21:16
Castillo drove in a run with a base hit.
2:21:20
And then Todd Cruz drove in two and Collins got another one home with a triple.
2:21:26
Strike called. Oh and two on Collins.
2:21:39
Now the set by Rudy May and his pitch to Collins is down low more than two strikes.
2:21:46
I'd have to say Bill White making that decision and announcing it early.
2:21:50
Latchman took some pressure off himself saying he's going to leave it up to Perry. He said it's his fault.
2:21:57
Now this were late September and the Mariners were fighting for a penalty of different matter I guess.
2:22:05
Yeah it would be. It would surprise a lot of people. Grounded down the third base line foul ball this morning.
2:22:11
I think it will be a while before we have to worry about a late September stretch drive here.
2:22:17
But the point is I think Latchman did take pressure off himself by saying that. What else you going to do?
2:22:25
Well he can't lose the game if you take him out for one thing. Of course I guess he wants to pitch a complete game three hundredth win.
2:22:34
Rudy's pitch. Grounded back toward the box. May has it. Throws to second. Out at second base.
2:22:40
They get Todd Cruz. No throw by Randolph back across.
2:22:47
A one four force play.
2:22:51
And Joe Simpson will step in.
2:23:00
Simpson is over three. Has not had the ball off the infield. Grounded out twice and popped up to Smalley.
2:23:07
Left hand hitter.
2:23:10
And the pitch drive. In the dirt and ice play by Sorrone. Ball one.
2:23:21
Smalley is in shallow at third base at the edge of what would be the infield grass on a normal playing field.
2:23:31
And a throw to first. See.
2:23:34
Almost got him on a second tag as Collins getting back to the bag.
2:23:39
Lifted his foot for a second. But headed back down before Mayberry double tagged him.
2:23:51
Now a throw again over to first. And again Collins gets back.
2:24:02
In case you're joining us for the first time, I can update you on this. Steve Balboni is winning and he's called up from Columbus.
2:24:09
Dave LaRoche sent him back down to resume his job as pitcher and coach.
2:24:14
Strike called and the count goes one and one now on Joe Simpson. Jim Maylor is the on deck batter.
2:24:24
The batters are leading 7-3. We're in the bottom half of the eighth inning. Collins at first won out.
2:24:32
May's set. And the pitch to subset. Runner going. Bowled off. Fast ball in on the hands.
2:24:40
Collins was running with the pitch.
2:25:00
Sarone puts down a side. And the one-two pitch. Wide to Randolph who's got it and throws back to first to double off Collins.
2:25:12
No run to base it. And with the double play, nobody left. At the end of eighth, the score. The Mariners 7 and the Yankees 3.
2:25:20
Of all the ways that we can fly. Of all the highways through the sky. Of all the wings that greet the sun.
2:25:30
Eastern, get your number one. The pride of Eastern shining through. We heard our wings by serving you.
2:25:41
We'll meet a new injury why. We're America's favorite way to fly. For the third year in a row now, more passengers have flown Eastern than any other airline in the free world.
2:25:56
If you helped make us America's favorite way to fly, we thank you. If you haven't flown Eastern recently, give us a try. We'll show you we really do earn our wings every day.
2:26:09
We're Eastern, America's favorite way to fly. We're Eastern, America's number one chocolate soft drink.
2:26:29
Mmm, that great chocolate drink. That's what you like about Yoo-hoo. Cool, creamy, delicious, and so expensive. No wonder all our kids like Yoo-hoo.
2:26:40
Yoo-hoo, America's number one chocolate soft drink. Yoo-hoo!
2:26:47
Let's take ten seconds for station identification on the New York Yankee Baseball Network. Keep your dial right here to Radio 59, WROW Albany, for much more Yankee baseball.
2:27:04
We go to the ninth inning, Rick Sarone to lead off. Larry Nohbarn is on deck, and then Willie Randolph. The Mariners are out in front, 7-3, Gaylord Berry into the windup.
2:27:20
And the first pitch to Sarone. Blowing away ball one. Sarone tonight is 0-3, hit to the box, struck out and popped out. Yankees have nine hits, getting five of the nine in the eighth inning.
2:27:36
That's scoring but two runs. The pitch bowed off, one and one. Yankees got two runs on five hits in the eighth, and of the five hits, three were on the infield.
2:27:50
Lead off single by Randolph. Winfield fast went off the plate, and Gambels face it for the shortstop. Berry has the sign from Bowie.
2:28:06
The windup and the pitch. Breaking ball, missing low, two balls and one strike. Berry has one-one, struck out four.
2:28:23
He goes near the back of the head, bends, has the sign, strikes the wind, the 2-1 pitch. A fast ball for a strike of the Mariners, and the count is 2-2.
2:28:36
Sarone does not like to call. Has the word of two with plate on fire, Catten-Kaiser.
2:28:49
Two balls and two strikes on Sarone, leading off the ninth. Mariners out in front, 7-3. The wind by Perry, the pitch. Check swing, line drive back to the box, and Perry grabs it for the off.
2:29:05
Top liner, Perry, caught the ball just before it hit the ground, taking no chances on the way it would be called. He threw out the first base, but it was caught fair. A line out by Sarone. One down, and Larry Milborne will bat.
2:29:24
Milborne, former Mariner, should get a pretty good reception from the crowd. Ground's only thinking about Berry.
2:29:36
Milborne, switch under batting left, and he steps away. The pitch is outside for a ball.
2:29:50
Milborne is hitting 190. Batting left at it, he's hitting 286. And he lines one foul with the seats on the left side. One ball and one strike.
2:30:16
If Perry gets the last out himself, it will be his 291st complete game. It's his 633rd start. In his career, he has relieved 87 times. He winds, and the pitch.
2:30:32
Top foul off the left side, in pursuit, third baseman Castillo, and he will run out of room. The ball is three rows deep, just past the third base dugout. One ball, two strikes on Milborne.
2:30:51
Perry had said that he knew it would benefit him if he could win his 300th game against the Yankees because of the added New York media coverage.
2:31:06
He won his 299th in New York, and is well on his way to his 300th now, leading 7-3. The pitch to Milborne popped up right side. Julio Cruz, the second baseman, is under it, and makes the catch.
2:31:22
Well, Gaylord Perry, one out away from putting his name, indelibly, in the record books of Major League Baseball, as only the 15th pitcher in the history of the game to win a 300 Major League Baseball.
2:31:42
And the last out is the toughest one. We'll see. Randolph the batter. Willie is one for four tonight. He's going to run. Randolph has not had the ball off the infield against Perry.
2:31:54
The wind up, the first pitch to Randolph. A low fast ball, it's ball one. And Kaiser will fall to the baseball. Randolph has bounced to first, reached on an error by Castillo. Get back to the box and single.
2:32:12
Back off Perry's pitching hand. Everybody is standing here at the Kingdom now. They will really break loose. The pitch, as frank as ball, it's one and one.
2:32:32
The crowd of 27,369, riding now on every pitch. Two outs in the night. Seattle is leading 7-3. Gaylord Perry into the wind up. The right arm around, the pitch to Randolph, high and tight. Willie ducks away. Two balls and a strike.
2:32:56
Julio Cruz plays Randolph very deep on the right side. The third baseman, Castillo, is the only infielder in close. The outfield shaded toward right. Perry winds. And the two and one pitch. Get on the ground to Julio Cruz. He has it.
2:33:12
The throw to first base. The ball gave us over and Gaylord Perry has become only the 15th pitcher in Major League history to win 300 baseball games. He is being pummeled by his teammates.
2:33:28
The media racing on the field. Television cameraman, still cameraman, reporters. The first man to shake his hand was the rookie first baseman, Jim Mailer. And Gaylord Perry, surrounded by teammates and media people, knocks his cap to the ground.
2:33:52
He's enjoying, I would say, more emotion right now than I've ever seen at this man's show. He blows a kiss to his wife, who is in the stands, and now still surrounded by teammates and media, makes his way to the dugout and the ensuing press conferences to take place.
2:34:15
The Seattle Mariner's, winning by a score of 7 to 3 as Gaylord Perry goes the route, winning his third game this year. In his sixth start, a third complete game of the season, and the 300th career victory for Gaylord Perry. I'll be back with more, the totals and the recap, and more about the ball game right after this message.
2:34:40
Mrs. Jones is 100 years old today. To celebrate, she's going to ask her pharmacist about generic drugs.
2:34:45
Mr. Pharmacist, can you read this prescription?
2:34:48
Yes, ma'am. It says to take your medicine four times a day.
2:34:50
Not that. I mean the chicken track.
2:34:52
That's the name of a brand name drug.
2:34:53
That's what I thought. I want a generic drug instead. They do the same job, right?
2:34:57
Yes, ma'am.
2:34:58
They can cause less, right?
2:34:59
Yes, ma'am. They can.
2:35:00
So give me generic drugs, Sonny, and make it snappy. I got a birthday party to go to.
2:35:06
Generic drugs. Get the facts from your pharmacist. A tip from the FTC.
2:35:10
Hats off, America. Here's a vote to make it grow. Hats off, America. Say thanks to the ones who make it go.
2:35:21
Working nine to five, trucking round the clock. Growing on stone, making a mile on a dock. Hats off, America. Here's a vote to make it grow.
2:35:32
Here's hats off to the American worker, especially the millions of you who buy United States savings bonds to the payroll savings plan.
2:35:39
You not only help your savings grow, you help your country grow too.
2:35:46
Hats off, America. Here's what it's all about. Votes for love of America. Put a little back of what they take out.
2:35:56
Millions of working women and men buy U.S. bonds to the payroll plan. Take a stock in America.
2:36:05
Hats off, America.
2:36:08
Hats off, America.
2:36:15
Game on, Barry. It's just come out to take his curtain call as, again, he received a standing ovation. Nobody is leaving the Kingdome. Well, a few people now start going to the exits.
2:36:28
A crowd of 27,369 on hand as baseball history was made in the King County Stadium tonight, more familiarly known as the Kingdome.
2:36:41
The doubles on the ballgame. For the Seattle Mariners, seven runs on 11 hits. They committed one error and left three men on base.
2:36:50
For the New York Yankees, three runs on nine hits. They committed one error and left seven men on base.
2:36:56
Game on, Barry, the winning pitcher. His third win of the year. He has lost twice.
2:37:01
Doyle Alexander, who started for the Yankees, the loser. His record is 0-2. I'll be back with more on tonight's game in just a moment.
2:37:11
Oh yeah, you know it's you. The great American story telling. Clode at you.
2:37:38
400 for prints and Ektachrome 400 for slides are Kodak's fastest 35 millimeter color films.
2:37:58
Now I'm ready. Got my sneaks, my sweat, and Kodakolor 400 film for every kind of picture. Kodak has the right kind of film.
2:38:09
How would you feel if you couldn't tune into this game because your car radio and tape player were ripped off?
2:38:14
Or worse yet, you couldn't get to the ballpark because your car was stolen. It's hard to believe, but every 12 seconds in this country, another automobile is being stolen, stripped, or vandalized.
2:38:24
Vertronix manufactures the Bug, America's number one burglar detection system for the home, through continued scientific achievement that's created the Autobug.
2:38:32
A very affordable alarm that stops the thief and, what is most important, before he gets into your car.
2:38:38
That's right, the thief is struck out before he even gets to bat. Just let him tamper with your doors and locks and try to lift the hood or trunk, and the Autobug, with its sonic sensors, reacts immediately, causing your hazard lights to blink and flash in a frenzy and then wham.
2:38:52
The Autobug lets loose its own screaming Pearson siren. Holy cow, the thief is off and running. Do you think he's being chased by a gothish fastball?
2:39:00
So take it from the scooter, just like the speedy Yankee base runners. Keep your car and everything in it safe with the Autobug by Vertronix, now available at many new car dealers.
2:39:10
In winning the ball game tonight, 21 of the 27 outs against Barry were made on the infield. That included his four strikeouts and one double play in the game.
2:39:27
Barry gave up a triple to Mumfrey in the first inning, a single to Smalley in the second. An error by Manny Castillo and a single by Ken Griffey put him in trouble in the third, but he got Mumfrey to ground into a double play.
2:39:41
He got the side and order in the fourth and fifth. The Yankees scored in the sixth inning a one-out home run by Ken Griffey after a controversial call at home plate, as to whether Griffey's check swing grounder was fair or not.
2:39:56
The grounder was fair or foul. It was ruled a fair ball by play-off by Ken Kaiser, and Griffey was thrown out at first.
2:40:04
With that third base up by Jim Maloney, said no, the ball was foul. Griffey was given a new life, and he responded with his first 1982 home run.
2:40:14
Barry walked Smalley in the seventh inning. The Yankees scored two runs on five hits, only three of the five hits, or three of the five hits, were on the infield in the eighth inning. And then Barry came back to finish it, getting the side and order in the ninth.
2:40:30
He was thrown on a soft liner to the box, no-born on a pop-up to Julio Cruz, and rammed off on a ground-up to Julio Cruz. The Mariners scored five runs on five hits off Doyle Alexander in the third, and the game, as it turned out, was out of reach then.
2:40:49
They added two more against Rudy May in the seventh. So Gaylord Perry becomes the 15-300 winner in Major League history, and the first since early win, one-year's-300th game in 1963.
2:41:05
The final score, the Seattle Mariners, seventh, at the New York Yankees, three.
