  On October 7th, 1967, the Boston Red Sox faced the St. Louis Cardinals at Bush Stadium for Game 3 of the 1967 World Series.
• 0:16
  The best of seven series was tied at one game apiece, and this is the NBC Radio broadcast of Game 3 featuring announcers Pee-wee Reese and Ken Coleman.
• 0:25
  He broadcast 14 years for the Cleveland Browns, and he also broadcast 10 years for the Cleveland Indians baseball team.
• 0:33
  The last two years, he's been with the Boston Red Sox, and he's been the boy for the Red Sox.
• 0:38
  Kenny, it's a pleasure to work with you. Come on in here and do the kick.
• 0:42
  Okay, Pee-wee, thank you very much.
• 0:44
  The guy on the right now is taking his warm-up throws and ready to lead off for the Red Sox, a young fellow that the ball player sometimes refers to as Happy Jose.
• 0:55
  That's Jose Sada-ball, who has a wonderful disposition, a sweet little guy who can really run the bases and very often will punt his way on.
• 1:07
  He has hit only two home runs during his American League career, which includes 463 games prior to this season.
• 1:17
  He's been swinging the ball well lately, though, and has done a good job in right field.
• 1:21
  Of course, the Red Sox miss very much Tony Canigliaro, who was here with them, but who is not eligible to play in the series after having sustained an injury about six weeks ago.
• 1:35
  The story on Brials, the St. Louis pitcher, probably the most interesting story on him is what he has done over the last couple of months.
• 1:46
  He has won nine straight ball games, pitching tremendous baseball.
• 1:51
  Tarnable steps in, Mike Shannon, the third baseman, up the line.
• 1:55
  The outfield playing a step toward left, although Tarnable is a left-handed batter.
• 2:01
  Brials gets his sign from MacArthur and delivers. Ground ball out the second off to the right of Seth Javier, close the first-in time.
• 2:08
  Tarnable hits the first-fifth through the second baseman, and there's one out in the top of the first inning.
• 2:14
  Javier came up with a tremendous fielding play in game two against Elston Howard, one of the best defensive plays of the series.
• 2:23
  Dalton Jones at the plate from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He made 15 hits in his last 30 private sats in the last two weeks of the season.
• 2:34
  Left-handed hitter takes the fastball low and inside, ball one.
• 2:39
  On the year, Dalton batted 289. He had three homers, 25 runs batted in. In the series, he is 3-4-9.
• 2:48
  Elston Brials throws, the pitch is bowled back, and the count is even at one ball and one strike.
• 2:55
  Brials was 7-3 at home and 7-2 on the road.
• 3:04
  The outfield playing straightaway for Jones.
• 3:10
  Right-hander, work, the pitch is one-hundred-miss, going for low-breaking stuff on the inside, one ball and two strikes.
• 3:17
  Bobby Doerr, one of the all-time great second baseman of the Red Sox, coaching at first base.
• 3:22
  Eddie Papauci, who has been with the Red Sox organization 30 years, coaching at third.
• 3:28
  Curveball is one-on-a-miss for Pike Green.
• 3:32
  Dalton Jones strikes out as Brials gets him with a good high curveball, two out of the box and first.
• 3:39
  There's the curveball I was talking about, Penny.
• 3:42
  Both Nelson Brials and Jerry Bell has a real good overhand curveball, and that's a tough pitch for a left-hander to hit.
• 3:49
  Let's see if Carl Yatsenka gets any of those.
• 3:53
  Carl is 3-4-8 in the World Series, two of the hits being home runs.
• 3:58
  They play him deep and toward right.
• 4:01
  The pitch hits him.
• 4:04
  It appeared to hit him on the left leg, and he is going down to first base.
• 4:10
  He tried to pull back out of the way, and he was hit by Brials' pitch.
• 4:15
  So Yatsenka becomes the first baseman of the game.
• 4:19
  The field is bathed in sunshine with the exception of right field where Roger Maris is in the shadows.
• 4:26
  With Yatsenka on first now, George Scott comes up.
• 4:30
  Scott batted a solid 3-0-3 on the year.
• 4:33
  Now Dick Williams, the Red Sox manager, has come out and is talking with the plate umpire Frank Humon.
• 4:40
  A discussion down on the third base side.
• 4:45
  Can I believe, if you remember yesterday or the day before yesterday,
• 4:49
  the first pick for Jim Lombard, who moved rocks, was kind of high and inside,
• 4:57
  and Jim Lombard was accused by a few of the Cardinal players that he was dusting them off.
• 5:02
  He came a little bit too close.
• 5:04
  Well, you notice Nelson Brials did not father the first two batters,
• 5:08
  but when the big one, Carl Gershwin, he came up there, he took him down pretty good.
• 5:14
  So now then, the umpire behind home plate, he is called, Dick Williams,
• 5:20
  the manager of the Red Sox out, and Red Chan and Deeds manage the Cardinals,
• 5:25
  and they try to tell him, let's not have any of this today.
• 5:28
  And Red Chan, Deeds, and Barber say, well, look at here, why didn't you say something up in Boston?
• 5:34
  But that's exactly what they're arguing about, the knockdown pick of Nelson Brials to Carl Gershwin.
• 5:42
  Okay, and now the two managers go back into their respective dugouts,
• 5:46
  and George Scott, big strong right-handed batter steps in.
• 5:50
  George in the World Series, three for seven.
• 5:54
  Gershwin gets first, two men out.
• 5:56
  In the first inning, there is no score.
• 5:58
  The outfield is deep and straight away.
• 6:00
  Scott has good power to all fields, while Texan throws.
• 6:04
  Pitch is low and away, gets away from the catcher, throw down a second base, out at second.
• 6:10
  And George Scott taking the throw as McIver launched the ball momentarily.
• 6:16
  You trust he took off for a second, but McIver threw it down to Maxfield and they get him.
• 6:21
  And so after a half inning, the score is the Red Sox nothing and the Cardinals coming to back.
• 6:29
  Okay, see, we, Elston Howard has just thrown the ball down to second base,
• 6:34
  as Bell concludes his warm-up throws,
• 6:37
  and now the 30-year-old right-hander is getting set to pitch to Lou Brock,
• 6:42
  who had a tremendous year with the St. Louis Cardinals, batting 299, had 21 homers, and 76 runs batted in.
• 6:50
  And in the series is 4 for 8. He had four hits in game one.
• 6:56
  In game two, of course, the Cardinals had just one hit.
• 7:00
  Bell looks into Howard for the time.
• 7:02
  The outfield, toward right, pitches a breaking ball in for a strike called.
• 7:07
  On deck is Kurt Klotz, batting third will be Roger Maris.
• 7:11
  Bell is 6'1", 203 pounds, out of San Antonio, Texas.
• 7:19
  Right-hander rocks and fires.
• 7:21
  There's a fly ball toward left center.
• 7:23
  Yatshvarsky going hard.
• 7:24
  Hits pass him in the gap.
• 7:26
  Brock around first, against the second.
• 7:28
  He might get free around second base.
• 7:30
  Petropelli with a relay.
• 7:31
  Throw to third base.
• 7:32
  And a face of the shuttle.
• 7:51
  Lou Brock has bled off for the St. Louis Cardinals by driving one into the gap in left center field.
• 7:58
  Right-handed batter joined the opposite way and whacking went through to the wall and winding up at third base.
• 8:05
  Nobody out in the last half of the first inning and the batter is Kurt Klotz.
• 8:10
  Right-handed hitting center fielder with an average on the year of 335, 1 for 8 in the World Series.
• 8:16
  The infield at this stage is back.
• 8:19
  A barrel fires and the back volley high, ball one.
• 8:29
  Brock gets 12 triples during the season.
• 8:32
  Pinson led the National League, Beta Pinson, with 13.
• 8:38
  That's the fifth hit for Lou in the World Series.
• 8:42
  Pitch, line drive, base hit into left center field and the first run is home.
• 8:46
  Pinson singles for Klotz and Brock scores the Cardinals jump run shot quickly, one to nothing.
• 8:53
  Redd B. Smith flying the ball into second base and very quickly the Cardinals lead.
• 8:59
  Kurt Klotz is on first base.
• 9:01
  Nobody out in the last of the firsts and the batter is Roger Maris.
• 9:07
  Maris on the season, batter 261, had nine home runs, 55 runs added in.
• 9:15
  In the World Series he has won for seven, but he drove in both runs for the Cardinals in the first game on infield out.
• 9:24
  As Brock scored both of them, so Brock now has scored all three runs the Cardinals have in the 67 World Series.
• 9:34
  Klotz got a good lead.
• 9:36
  Bell checks and throws, planted back to the mound, throws out to second for one, back to first for a double play.
• 9:43
  Gary Bell wasted no time as he turned and threw to Petrocelli covering a second base and Maris has hit into a 1-6-3 double play.
• 9:53
  And there are two men out in the last half of the first inning.
• 9:56
  St. Louis ahead, one nothing and the applause is for Orlando's Capeta.
• 10:02
  The Brigadier's Cardinals first baseman battered 325, had 25 home runs and 111 runs added in this season for the St. Louis Cardinals.
• 10:14
  Capeta has had to fight a late season slump and he's old for seven in the series.
• 10:20
  Gary Bell throws a fastball down low.
• 10:24
  Center fielder Reggie Smith playing Capeta a step toward right.
• 10:32
  Yosemite straight away and deep out in left field.
• 10:38
  Bell into the windup, right-hander throws, breaking ball inside, two balls, no strikes on Orlando.
• 10:45
  Cardinals lead one nothing last half of the first inning on what has turned out to be a beautiful day in St. Louis.
• 10:53
  This is the second World Series for Capeta.
• 10:57
  There is action now in the Boston bullpen.
• 11:01
  Gary Wasgluci is warming up.
• 11:04
  The pitch is outside 3-0.
• 11:09
  From our vantage point we cannot see the action in the bullpen, but fortunately we're able to communicate and find out.
• 11:17
  And Wasgluci, who is up part of the year with a red start, the tall, rangey right-hander is loosening up.
• 11:24
  Three balls, no strikes, we count, two outs, nobody on.
• 11:28
  Bell throws to pay to take the call, strike and it's three and one.
• 11:33
  Elston Howard working back of the plate, started at first, a dare at second, Ketracelli at short and Jones at third.
• 11:40
  Yosemite in left field, Smith in center and Tartabull in right.
• 11:45
  Zippler coaching at first base and Joe Schultz at third for St. Louis.
• 11:50
  Here's the three-one pitch to Capeta.
• 11:53
  It's a high pop-up, back of third, Ketracelli and Jones drifting over to foul territory.
• 11:58
  Jones makes the catch and the Cardinals are out in the first inning.
• 12:02
  But they pick up a run and so at the end of one the score in St. Louis won and Boston nothing.
• 12:11
  They tried to reach second base after McCarver dropped the ball but Tim threw him out.
• 12:16
  So here's George back up there again.
• 12:19
  Nelson Brials throws, down ball, hits the pitcher, goes off to it second, Javier gets it, first to first, and gets it.
• 12:26
  A brilliant play by Julian Javier on a ball that was deflected back off Nelson Brials,
• 12:33
  went out to the second base when he had to come in and barehand it and threw on to Capeta for the outs.
• 12:39
  It will go one to four to three.
• 12:42
  Another fine play, the second in the series, reeled off by the Cardinals' second baseman, Julian Javier.
• 12:49
  Now Nick Williams, the Red Sox manager, is out protesting the call to the first base umpire, Augie Donatelli.
• 12:59
  It was a close play at first base.
• 13:06
  One out and nobody on in the second. St. Louis leads one to nothing.
• 13:11
  Williams walking back over to the Red Sox dugout, which is on the third base side in St. Louis, as Reggie Smith prepares the back.
• 13:21
  On the season, Smith, who's the quick hitter, batted 249, had 15 almost and 62 runs batted in.
• 13:28
  He's one for six in the World Series.
• 13:33
  McCarver working back at the plate, Capeta at first, Javier at second, Max Villachort, and Shannon at third for St. Louis.
• 13:41
  Here's the pitch. Low and inside gets past McCarver.
• 13:46
  Ball one.
• 13:48
  Brock is in left, Flutt is in center, and Maris in right.
• 13:52
  McCarver now goes to the mound, wants to talk with Nelson Brials.
• 13:57
  The official scorers for the World Series, Bob Abbey at the Washington Post,
• 14:02
  Larry Claflin of the Boston Record American, and Neil Russo of the St. Louis Post dispatch.
• 14:11
  The lights are on here in St. Louis, although the sun is shining.
• 14:18
  Here's the pitch.
• 14:19
  Smith gets one deep but foul toward right field, putting one out to the upper deck area, as Reggie really came around on the pitch by Nelson Brials.
• 14:31
  The umpires again, Frank Umont back at the plate,
• 14:35
  Arki Donatelli of the National League at first, Ed Runge of the American League at second, and Paul Pryor of the National League at third.
• 14:42
  Pitch is a ball to Smith, low and inside.
• 14:45
  Down in the left field corner is John Stevens of the American League, and in right, Al Pollock, the senior umpire in all baseball of the National League.
• 14:55
  Two balls, one strike, one out, nobody on second inning, one nothing, St. Louis, the pitch low and inside, three and one.
• 15:06
  Nelson Brials was born in Doros, California.
• 15:09
  He lives in Carmichael, California now.
• 15:13
  He has the best earned run average on the St. Louis staff this year, 2.44.
• 15:23
  Three balls, one strike, the pitch.
• 15:26
  Strike called on the inside corner at the belt, full count.
• 15:32
  Brials worked 155 in the third inning, so he failed to reach the minimum 162 required to qualify for the earned run ratings.
• 15:46
  Stocky right-hander takes a deep breath out on the mound, gets his sign and throws.
• 15:50
  There's our little blooper that is grabbed by Shannon.
• 15:54
  The third baseman, Mike Shannon, leaping to his left, came down with a little blooper off the bat of Reggie Smith, a very fine defensive play by the Cardinal third baseman.
• 16:05
  In Axl, the shortstop was also going over toward the hole on the play, trying to back Mike up, but he leaped high in the air and brought it down.
• 16:15
  So there are two men out, nobody on in the second, as Jerry Adair steps in.
• 16:20
  He's had a 266 on the year, 2 for 8 in the World Series.
• 16:26
  Right-handed batter takes the ball that goes in the dirt and goes past McIver.
• 16:31
  Ball one.
• 16:35
  Frank Humont, dusting off home plate.
• 16:39
  Adair, an Oklahoman, did an outstanding job with Boston after coming over from the White Sox this year.
• 16:47
  His average for the season, as I mentioned, was 266, but for the Red Sox, in 89 games, he hit 292.
• 16:55
  Here's the pitch, curveball low and outside, ball two.
• 17:01
  Adair ended the year with an eight-game hitting streak and a 3.51 average during that stretch.
• 17:10
  Outfield playing them straight away.
• 17:13
  Jerry hits the center and right a lot.
• 17:15
  This time, he grounds the first.
• 17:17
  Shannon has it, throws the sapeta, and the Red Sox are out in order in the second.
• 17:22
  No runs, no hits, and nobody left on after one and a half for Gore, St. Louis one, and Boston nothing.
• 17:30
  Then hit into a double play, and Coteda fouled out to the third baseman, Dalton Jones.
• 17:36
  So here in the second with the cards leading 1-0, the batter is Tim McCarver, the catcher.
• 17:42
  McCarver batting 295 this season is 0-4-6 in the World Series.
• 17:47
  He is a left-handed batter with very good speed for a catcher.
• 17:51
  Pitch to Tim is a quite tall.
• 17:56
  McCarver was the batting leader in the 1964 World Series hitting 478.
• 18:02
  Got at least one hit in each of the seven games.
• 18:06
  Shannon is on deck, and Javier will be up third.
• 18:10
  He uses a closed stance, crouches at the plate.
• 18:13
  Bell throws a strike called on the outside corner.
• 18:17
  McCarver turns and questions Husky, Frank, and Mark.
• 18:24
  Strike to count on McCarver.
• 18:32
  Bell looks into Elston Howard for the time.
• 18:37
  Right-hander into action, the pitch, half ball outside.
• 18:41
  One ball and two strikes.
• 18:46
  St. Louis leading by a score of 1-0 as we start the last half of the second inning.
• 18:59
  Bell into action.
• 19:00
  The right-hander throws.
• 19:01
  McCarver checks the swing and takes the ball.
• 19:05
  Tim had a notion but held back on it.
• 19:09
  Bell over the years has averaged 6.4 strikeouts per nine innings during his American League career.
• 19:18
  Average just over six this year.
• 19:21
  He's been used as a starter and a reliever with Cleveland.
• 19:25
  Jerry delivers.
• 19:26
  There's a shot, ground ball through into center field for the base hit, and McCarver takes a big turn and holds it first.
• 19:33
  Tim McCarver leading off the second inning for St. Louis.
• 19:36
  Bill's a single. Petracelli went to his left to try to make a play, but there was no chance for Rico as the ball went past him into center field.
• 19:46
  So the lead man is on for the Cardinals in the second.
• 19:49
  They lead 1-0 and Mike Shannon, right-handed batting third baseman, comes up.
• 19:54
  That was the first hit for McCarver in the World Series.
• 19:58
  Shannon is 2-7 in series competition this year.
• 20:04
  He's got a good pitch to him.
• 20:06
  Drive deep toward left field.
• 20:08
  This is back.
• 20:09
  It is gone for a home run.
• 20:31
  Mike Shannon has hit a home run deep to left field going into the lower section, but well back.
• 20:41
  And the Cardinals lead by a score of 3-0 as McCarver scores ahead of him.
• 20:47
  And the batter now is Julianne Javier.
• 20:51
  The second baseman is batting 2-81, or did on a year, and in the World Series he's 3-7.
• 21:00
  He's done quite a job in the field.
• 21:03
  The pitch to him, line drive, they hit into left center field.
• 21:06
  Jocerski cuts it off and throws it in for a second.
• 21:09
  Here's the runner coming, and he is out at second base.
• 21:13
  As Jocerski, who has a great throwing arm, fires it into Adair to get him.
• 21:19
  Javier gets threaded for a single.
• 21:21
  Jocerski going high to his left, picks up the ball and fire a strike into Adair, and there is one man out.
• 21:29
  Howard, the catcher, goes to the mound to talk the bell.
• 21:36
  Shannon was the St. Louis right fielder in the 64th series, and he had a 450-foot home run in the first game against Whitey Ford.
• 21:50
  The batter is Sal Maxfield now, one man out.
• 21:55
  The side knows two runs on five hits.
• 22:00
  Three runs on five hits.
• 22:04
  Have a three-nothing yet.
• 22:05
  The first pitch is fouled off the end of the bat, strike one.
• 22:11
  This is the last half of the second inning, there is one out.
• 22:16
  Three-five and all for St. Louis, nothing yet for Boston.
• 22:23
  The play fell, kicks and throws, there is a high clock foul off first that is lifting out of play behind the St. Louis tuck-out.
• 22:33
  Two strikes on Maxfield.
• 22:35
  The owl is all for four at the plate in the World Series.
• 22:38
  The batter, 237 on the year, but drove in 41 runs, which was a new personal high for the quick-fielding side, no shortstop.
• 22:53
  Two strikes in.
• 22:56
  Bell fires a tight call on the outside corner of the knees.
• 23:01
  Maxfield knew it and quietly leaves.
• 23:04
  That's the first strike out for Gary Bell and there are two men out in the second.
• 23:11
  Nelson Brile gets a nice hand as he comes to the plate.
• 23:15
  As the batter, he's batted 150 during the year, no homers and no runs batted in.
• 23:27
  Young Pover sent only one year in the minors.
• 23:30
  The pitch to him is hit on the ground for a second, a dear hazard, closed the stop for the out and that's all for St. Louis in the second.
• 23:38
  But they have picked up two more runs and at the end of two to score, St. Louis three and Boston nothing.
• 23:46
  Rico Petrucelli leads off, that is 259 on the year, he's one for five in the World Series.
• 23:53
  Nelson Brile gets the sign from Tim McArthur.
• 23:57
  The right-handed throw, there's a high fly ball in the left field, fairly deep.
• 24:02
  Brock backing up though, has room and makes the catch for our number one.
• 24:06
  Petrucelli flies to Brock and left, one out in the third, St. Louis leading three to nothing.
• 24:19
  Elston Howard is at the plate now and on deck is George Thomas who will bat for Gary Barrell so Dick Williams has decided to go to his bullpen.
• 24:33
  Howard, 0 for 3 in the World Series, this is his 10th World Series.
• 24:38
  Pitch to Elston is a quite called on the outside corner at the knees.
• 24:48
  In the third inning, St. Louis leads three nothing.
• 24:51
  That shot's up with one out and nobody on.
• 24:54
  Third ball is blown outside and the count is one and one.
• 25:07
  Howard hits the ball to right center field a lot and Flood is playing them accordingly.
• 25:12
  Pitch to Elie is taken away, ball two and one strike.
• 25:16
  Howard has helped the Red Sox young pitching staff a great deal since coming over from the New York Nancies.
• 25:29
  Brials gets the sign, right-handed throw, shot down ball, pass to Pater going down to the right field corner and Howard is on with a single as Maritz fires the ball into second.
• 25:41
  That's a one out with one out on the Boston third. Elston Howard gets the first Red Sox field of the ball game and now George Thomas is up to bat for Gary Barrell.
• 25:54
  Thomas, a right-handed batter who's been around some and has been with the Red Sox the past two years as a utility performer, average this year up to 13.
• 26:07
  Nelson Brials getting ready to work to Thomas.
• 26:18
  Howard taking a very cautious lead away from first base.
• 26:23
  The pitch is outside, ball one.
• 26:28
  Thomas attends Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan in the offseason.
• 26:33
  But he was born and brought up in Bloomington, Minnesota, the home of the twins.
• 26:42
  Brials at the belt, right-handed throw as Thomas fouls it back, the count is one and one.
• 26:52
  Gary Wartblusey continues to warm up out on the Boston bullpen, young man who won 19 ball games for Toronto last year.
• 27:04
  Paul Wenge Tinkerball, regular.
• 27:11
  St. Louis three, Boston nothing, one out, one on, and the Red Sox third. McCarver out a couple of steps and honoring something through his pitcher Brials and now Kim comes back at the plate and gets in the crouch.
• 27:28
  Start moving over a little bit to a straightaway center from left center out there in center field.
• 27:43
  Again for Lake Cooners Inn it's turned out to be a very nice day in St. Louis after a rainy, misty, foggy morning. The lights are on, but they don't really have to be.
• 27:59
  One ball and two strikes to count. We may get rain later in the day, but it's supposed to clear tomorrow.
• 28:08
  The one-two delivery, nice stop by McCarver, no advance by Howard as the ball was low and outside and Kim made a backhanded stab and prevented it from going by.
• 28:21
  McCarver working back at the plate. Capeta at first, Javier at second, Max Miller shortstop, and Shannon at third, Rockridge in left, Plotton center, and Marik in right for St. Louis.
• 28:34
  Two balls, two strikes to count for George Thomas. Jose Tardibol is on deck.
• 28:43
  Brials, kicked off a time. The right-hander is working a little more deliberately now.
• 28:51
  The pitch, low and outside, three and two on Thomas. One out, one on on the Boston third. Cardinals lead three to nothing.
• 29:03
  Brials, who has picked up one in the first inning, when Brock tripled and Plot tingled him in, and in the second, Shannon had it to run Homer.
• 29:19
  Brials goes to the belt. The pause and the pitch. One on it, and strike three. George Thomas strikes out.
• 29:29
  The strikeout for Brials, and there are two men out with Howard on first in the third.
• 29:36
  Jose Tardibol is at the plate. Red Sox right fielder, grounded out the second base in the first inning.
• 29:46
  Cepeda holding against Howard at first. Tardibol hits the ball to all fields, a spraig-type hitter. Here's the set.
• 30:00
  The pitch. There's a fly ball into right center field. Fluts coming hard, makes a flying running catch.
• 30:08
  Third floor makes a splendid running catch. Tardibol fly ball. The Red Sox are down on the third. No runs, one hit, one left.
• 30:16
  And so after two and one half, it is St. Louis three and Boston nothing.
• 30:24
  Wasblouki throws a fastball at the knee for a strike call.
• 30:30
  Three years on, Wasblouki can be very tough, and especially because of his easy motion, he's a hard man to have him at the beginning.
• 30:42
  Flut is on deck. Marath will bat third. Pitch changeup is flutted foul, and it's strike two on the speecher Lou Brock,
• 30:51
  who led the National League in stolen bases for the third year in a row, with 52 this year in 70 attempts.
• 30:59
  Wasblou is playing in his second World Series. He hit 300 in 1964, and many fans and many experts have predicted he would be one of the heroes of this one.
• 31:12
  Pitch is high to him for the ball, one and two.
• 31:19
  Brock hit more home runs in this ballpark than any other Cardinals, 13.
• 31:25
  Wasblouki with a big sweeping motion throws a fastball that swung on a miss, and Brock strikes out.
• 31:31
  That's the second strikeout for Boston's pitching, as Gary Bell had won.
• 31:36
  Bell worked a total of two innings, allowed five hits and two runs, and had one strikeout.
• 31:43
  One out in the last half of the third inning, and Kurt Flut is up.
• 31:47
  He drove in the first St. Louis run in the first inning with his sharp singular center sending home Brock.
• 31:53
  Wasblouki throws, there's a ground ball to second aid, they are in and up with it.
• 31:57
  Easy play for him, and he throws, cut out at first base.
• 32:01
  Two out in the third. Roger Maris now.
• 32:06
  Roger hit into a 1-6-3 double play in the first inning, bouncing one back to Bell, who threw to Petrocelli covering second, and then they pulled the double play at first.
• 32:18
  St. Louis three, Boston nothing, threw out nobody on last half of inning three.
• 32:23
  Second baseman Jerry Adair stepped back on the grass, the outfield playing Maris to pull, and the pitch.
• 32:31
  Fastball tails away, ball one.
• 32:39
  Third base coach Joe Schultz, hollering and terrorist minion to Maris.
• 32:43
  Wasblouki fires, pitches a checked swing foul back to the screen one and one.
• 32:49
  3.30 down the lines in left and right field, 386 to straightaway left and right.
• 32:57
  4.14 to dead center.
• 33:03
  One ball, one strike to Roger Maris.
• 33:07
  Wasblouki throws, breaking ball low and inside.
• 33:11
  Two and one.
• 33:16
  Elston Howard checking for Boston with Scott at first, Adair at second, Petrocelli at short, and Dalton Jones at third.
• 33:23
  Here's Sremski and Smiths and Cardabole from left to right in the outfield.
• 33:27
  High fly ball into right center field, Smiths and Cardabole converging, and it is Cardabole who makes the catch, retiring the side.
• 33:36
  The signals go in order, no runs, no hits, nobody left on at the end of three, St. Louis three, and Boston nothing.
• 33:44
  Dalton Jones, draw for Boston, knee-cluck out swinging in the first inning.
• 33:48
  One of two men has been a strikeout victim with the hands of Nelson Brile.
• 33:53
  Right-handed throws a curve that's chopped foul off the first-base tight on the ground, strike one.
• 33:59
  Jones does not strike out very often. He is now three for ten in this World Series.
• 34:08
  Here's Sremski on deck and Scott will follow, St. Louis leading three-nothing.
• 34:14
  Brile at the beginning of this year was the long reliever for the St. Louis staff, and what a job he's done since he's become a starter.
• 34:22
  There's a curve ball lined into left field, it's dropping in for a base hit in front of Luke Rock,
• 34:27
  and Dalton Jones leads off the Boston fourth inning with their second hit, a single.
• 34:33
  Runner at first base and nobody out, and the batter is Sremski.
• 34:38
  Sremski was hit by a pitch in the first inning as Brile hit him with a low inside delivery.
• 34:50
  Carl three for eight in the World Series, including a couple of home runs, and he now has two assists in the series in left field
• 34:58
  and has made a couple of brilliant plays in the field.
• 35:05
  Brile's at the belt, the pitch, you're seeing, fouls it back to the screen, strike one.
• 35:12
  Yes, he took that savage touch that he's employed all season long.
• 35:17
  Two-time American League batting champion, won it in 1963 and again in 1967,
• 35:28
  but in a much more up-parachuted way this year with a 44 home run, and he led the league and runs that it in.
• 35:37
  Brile's ready, right-handed throw, just shrunk, he looks at a curve inside, and the count goes to one ball and one strike.
• 35:46
  Dalton Jones at first, nobody out rather in the fourth inning, St. Louis with a three to nothing lead.
• 35:58
  With Sremski up, Sateta, although playing close, is not right at the bag on Jones.
• 36:07
  Brile throws the first and almost threw it away, and Sateta leaps up and pulled it down.
• 36:15
  Orlando was not at the bag, Brile's, well, he must have known that Sateta wasn't because he sure he had to glance before he threw.
• 36:24
  But then he kind of just threw a high lob and Sateta jumped up and took it down.
• 36:30
  Well, I'm sure I saw Sateta going and say something to Brile, so evidently he told he's going to plan back of him.
• 36:36
  Dalton Jones is not too fast afoot, he's trading by three runs,
• 36:41
  it don't look like he'll be feeling so he's planning back of him, but sometimes a pitcher just forgets about that,
• 36:47
  and the best thing and the only thing you can do, once you make that move, you have to release the ball,
• 36:52
  he just gave it a little basketball talk about it, keeping from balling.
• 36:57
  The count is one and one to Sremski.
• 37:02
  Brile gets the sign from McArthur, right-hander ready.
• 37:05
  The pitch, he has hit the ground ball to second, Javier clips to second for one, back to first, double play.
• 37:13
  Four to six to three, Javier to Maxfield as Sateta, and there are two men out on the Boston court,
• 37:19
  there's Todd Sremski, bangs into a double play.
• 37:23
  One of the amazing things about Sremski this year was his consistency.
• 37:30
  His monthly home run totals, April of course is a short month in baseball, he had two in April,
• 37:36
  and then eight, eight, eight, nine, and nine over the following five months of the year.
• 37:43
  George Scott is up now, the pitch to George is grounded foul down the third base side, strike one.
• 37:51
  Scott hit the ball well his first time, hard off Brile, and as it deflected off the pitcher,
• 37:58
  Javier came in and made a very good play in grabbing the ball bare-handed and throwing Scott out.
• 38:07
  One strike to count on the big Boston first baseman, two men out on the fourth, St. Louis ahead, three to nothing.
• 38:19
  Here's the pitch, Scott swings and fouls it back off Newmont's protector, strike two.
• 38:27
  Frank who used to play football for the New York Giants, jumped around a little on that one.
• 38:34
  Two men out, nobody on on the fourth, two strikes to count on Scott, St. Louis three and the Red Sox nothing.
• 38:47
  The pitch, in the dirt, stopped by McArthur.
• 38:54
  Brile has not watched anybody, but he has been wild low a number of times and McAvoy has come up with some pretty good saves.
• 39:05
  He's been wild low with his breaking stuff.
• 39:09
  One ball and two strikes on Scott.
• 39:16
  Here's the pitch, one on a net, strike three, one that's for a low outside pitch.
• 39:21
  And that is all for Scott and the Red Sox in the fourth.
• 39:24
  No runs, one hit and nobody left on, so after three and one-half the score is St. Louis three and Boston nothing.
• 39:33
  The Pater fouled out the third baseman, Dolvin Jones in the first inning.
• 39:42
  While Glukey throws, there's a high foul coming back out of reach.
• 39:50
  Two strikes to count on Cepeda. Tim McCarver is on deck and Cannon will be up third.
• 39:57
  This is the last of the fourth, Cepeda's leading it off, the Cardinals have a three-nothing lead.
• 40:03
  The pitch is one on a miss, strike three.
• 40:07
  Cepeda is out and he's now 0 for 9 in the World Series.
• 40:12
  Second strikeout for Gary Wazlukey and it brings up Tim McCarver who broke the ice for himself in the second inning
• 40:21
  as he left the inning off with a single and scored the second St. Louis run coming home ahead of Shannon when Mike Olmert.
• 40:34
  St. Howard sends the sign out, Wazlukey throws and the pitch is low and inside, ball one.
• 40:44
  The.478 average that McCarver had in the 64th series was the best by a National League player since Pepper Martin's 500 in 1931.
• 40:58
  Wazlukey winds and throws, McCarver checks the swing and takes the ball outside, ball two.
• 41:08
  McCarver a left-handed batter, as we mentioned earlier he has very good speed.
• 41:13
  He led National League catchers in stealing in 1967 with a total of eight.
• 41:24
  Here's the two-nothing pitch, high foul lifting out of play into the lower key shot third.
• 41:34
  Two balls, one strike.
• 41:36
  Working behind the plate, Frank Humont of the American League, Augie Donatelli of the National League at first base,
• 41:42
  Ed Runge of the American League at second and Paul Prior of the National League at third,
• 41:47
  John Stevens of the American League down for Buckfield Line and Al Pollock of the National in right.
• 41:55
  The two-one pitch, McCarver hits the ground ball, shot to his right and with it,
• 41:59
  flips underhand to Wazlukey for the out. McCarver bounces out three-one, two down on the Cardinal fourth.
• 42:06
  St. Louis leads three-nothing.
• 42:10
  Here is Mike Shannon who in the second inning hit a home run to Buckfield to put the cards out three-nothing.
• 42:26
  They had had a one-to-nothing lead and he hits the two-run homer in the second.
• 42:31
  Wazlukey now has picked the five men, has retired all of them.
• 42:39
  Paul Dean Reichmander looks into Howard for the time.
• 42:43
  The pitch, hit on the ground toward short, Petracelli to his right, up with it, throws to Scott for the out
• 42:49
  and the Cardinals go in order in the fourth inning.
• 42:52
  No runs, no hits and nobody left on so at the end of four it is St. Louis three-boss and nothing.
• 42:58
  Okay, thank you very much.
• 43:00
  Smith pops up to the third baseman, Shannon in the second as Mike made a very good play on a little looper.
• 43:06
  He had to go back and do his left on.
• 43:09
  Nelson Biles on the mound, right-hander fires a fastball low and inside, ball one.
• 43:18
  Smith will be followed by Jerry Ager and then Rico Petracelli will be up third.
• 43:24
  St. Louis with a three-to-nothing lead, gets one on the first and two in the second.
• 43:31
  The pitch to Smith is cowl back out of play off the third base side and back of the red star dugout, one and one.
• 43:41
  Smith is a twitch hitter and from the left side uses a closed stance and from the right side he opens up them.
• 43:56
  Smith is outfield playing reggie straight away. Here's the pitch to him, curveball lined in the right field, it's a base hit.
• 44:03
  Maris started to charge it but saw that he had no chance and Smith leads off the Boston fifth with a strong single in the right.
• 44:12
  Roger started. Maris is a very fine defensive outfielder.
• 44:18
  There have been times in his major league career when that's been overlooked because of his power.
• 44:24
  Now time is called by third base umpire Paul Pryor for just a moment but we're ready to go again.
• 44:34
  As Ager steps in, the second inning in a row, the reds aren't going to have the first man on
• 44:41
  but they have not been able to solve files in the scoring department.
• 44:46
  Smith at first, nobody out on the fifth. Crowder first, red news act safely.
• 44:55
  Bobby Dore keeping a close eye on the red star center fielder to pay the holding at the back against him.
• 45:01
  Here's the pitch, late foul back upstairs.
• 45:05
  Ager rounded out the cannon at third base in the second. Streg Lewis leads Boston by a score of three to nothing.
• 45:16
  Three five and all for the Cardinals, zero three and all for the Red Sox.
• 45:32
  Nelson Pryor is ready to work. Third ball is popped up down toward first base.
• 45:39
  The tater coming in and right in front of the bag, about ten feet in front of it, just in fair territory, takes the pop by Ager.
• 45:47
  So there's one out in the fifth inning for the Red Sox and the batter will be the shortstop Rico Petracelli.
• 45:55
  Rico flied the left field in the third inning.
• 46:00
  The Red Sox's color has shown steady improvement.
• 46:04
  The RBI totals in the last year have gone from 33 and 65 to 59 and 66 up to 65 this year.
• 46:13
  And he was the shortstop in the all-star game.
• 46:17
  Here's the tech.
• 46:19
  This is a terrible very poor strike call.
• 46:23
  Petracelli in a cabin means little rock and that is what Petracelli has been in the Boston infield.
• 46:30
  He's been a very steady influence with the glove.
• 46:35
  One out, one on in the fifth.
• 46:38
  Here's the tech.
• 46:41
  Blyle throws Rico's wings at Mr. Cracut.
• 46:51
  Petracelli had a very good finish last year and again this season.
• 47:00
  Comes from Brooklyn, New York.
• 47:08
  Blyle's taking a little extra time now.
• 47:13
  Here's the pitch.
• 47:14
  There's a check, wing, fly ball into short center field.
• 47:17
  Rico's flood's dancing, he's got it, throw to first base, Smith gets back in time.
• 47:23
  This flood, who can fly, just did.
• 47:27
  He came racing in on a fly ball by Petracelli.
• 47:31
  Rico is trying to hold back on his wing and the speedy center fielder cracked it down.
• 47:37
  Two men out, Smith on first base in the fifth inning, same blue as they had to three to nothing.
• 47:43
  Elston Howard at the plus.
• 47:48
  Howard single the right field in the third as one of the three Boston hits.
• 48:02
  Here's the pitch, low and outside, ball one.
• 48:09
  Howard has the thrill of hitting his home run and his first time at bat in the World Series in 1955 against John Newcomb at Yankee Stadium.
• 48:25
  Smith leading away from first, Blyle throws, Howard swings and misses on a high fastball, one and one.
• 48:32
  In the second game of the 1960 World Series, Howard tied a record by making two hits and one inning, a triple and a single at Pittsburgh.
• 48:44
  This is his 50th series game.
• 48:50
  One ball, one strike, two out, Smith at first base, St. Louis leading three nothing.
• 48:59
  Right-hander Nelson Blyle throws, the pitch is foul back up on the swing.
• 49:20
  Blyle's getting a new baseball.
• 49:28
  Here's Peta holding against Smith down at first base.
• 49:37
  Now the right-hander of the Cardinals gets ready.
• 49:42
  The one-two pitch to Howard, strike's all on the outside corner, he got it.
• 49:47
  The Red Sox are out in the fifth inning.
• 49:49
  For Boston, no runs, they had one base hit and lead one.
• 49:53
  After four and one-half, St. Louis leads three to nothing.
• 49:57
  We'll see all about it.
• 50:00
  Okay, Pee-wee, thank you very much.
• 50:03
  Pooley and Javier is going to be beating off against Jerry Wasblewski who's been very effective.
• 50:08
  He's hit six men and retired all of them.
• 50:11
  If Howard hadn't had a base hit, he probably would not be in there now because the Red Sox are trying to catch the Cardinals who have a three-nothing lead
• 50:20
  and Dick Williams naturally would have gone to a ten-kitter in this particular situation.
• 50:26
  Pee-wee and Javier has had quite a year for himself.
• 50:30
  He improved his average 53 points in 1967.
• 50:34
  He had a single to left field in the second, so he is four for eight in the series at the plate and has done quite a job in the field.
• 50:42
  Take the fastball on the outside corner for his strike call.
• 50:53
  The Red Sox over the course of the season have shown quite an ability to fight back in the late stages,
• 50:59
  but so too have the Cardinals in winning the National League flag.
• 51:03
  A pitch is swung on a nurse as he went out ahead of a breaking pitch.
• 51:07
  Two strikes on Javier.
• 51:11
  Maxfield is on deck.
• 51:19
  Yaciel playing straight away.
• 51:23
  Wazlouki delivers. Pitch is high and the count is one and two.
• 51:39
  Wazlouki is tall, being right-handed. They're a very quiet fellow.
• 51:48
  He winds and throws. Curveball is low and outside. Two balls, two strikes to count.
• 51:56
  St. Louis with a three-to-nothing lead as we play in the last half of the fifth inning.
• 52:01
  A church-sleeved crowd at Bush Memorial Stadium watching the Red Sox and the Cardinals in the third game of the 1967 World Series.
• 52:17
  Here's the pitch. Swung on a nurse. Strike three. Javier going for a thinking fastball.
• 52:24
  And that is the third strikeout for Wazlouki. There is one out in the fifth. And the batter is Maxfield.
• 52:31
  Dale was called out on strikes in the second inning.
• 52:35
  If he joined us late in the first game, Brock led off with a triple. Clark singled him home.
• 52:41
  In the second, McIver led off with a single. Shannon hit a two-run homer.
• 52:46
  Here's the foul back out of play. Strike one.
• 52:51
  And that's been all in the scoring department as the Cardinals have three runs on five hits, the Red Sox no runs on three hits.
• 53:08
  The outfield plays Maxfield a little bit toward right.
• 53:13
  And the curve that swung on a miss. Strike two.
• 53:25
  On deck is the pitcher Nelson Braille.
• 53:29
  Wazlouki throws. Third ball hit into Wrightfield.
• 53:33
  Pradovold going over. Smith right alongside him.
• 53:36
  Wazlouki makes the catch for the out. Two down on the st. Louis fifth inning. Three nothing. The Cardinals lead and Nelson Braille is coming up.
• 53:49
  Twenty-four-year-old right-hander has done quite a job here this afternoon against the team that led the American League in batting this year, the Boston Red Sox.
• 54:00
  He has not really been in any serious difficulty and he's resting on a three-run lead.
• 54:07
  Grounded the second his first time. Swings it to clore over to Petrocelli.
• 54:11
  Riegel throws over to Scott and that's it in the fifth as the Cardinals are out in order.
• 54:16
  Nine men in a row for Wazlouki. No runs, no hits and nobody left on.
• 54:22
  And so as we reach the end of five the score is the Red Sox or St. Louis three and the Red Sox nothing.
• 54:30
  The Cardinals scored one run in the first inning. As Brock opened the game up with a simple curve, Clark came right back with singles. In the second inning they scored two runs. McArthur singles. Mike Cannon hit a home run in the left field seat.
• 54:54
  But the runs and that's where the score is right now. The Cardinals three and the Red Sox nothing was going in the top half for six innings.
• 55:03
  And Jerry Wazlouki hits the white of all games. And release of Gary Bell retired nine men in a row.
• 55:12
  Talking about picking great ball, Nelson Brow first pitch.
• 55:16
  Mike Andrews makes it out of the third field. Mike Andrews picked at him. Of course, Gary Wazlouki. And the Red Sox have something started here in the top half for six innings.
• 55:27
  And the Red Sox fans have not had much to see about today as it's been Nelson Brow's all the way.
• 55:35
  And he's only given up three hits until that hit right there by Mike Andrews leading off in the sixth inning here.
• 55:42
  Jose Cardoborle, middle left headed batter with a runner on his first base. Nelson Brow comes back, checks his runner over his first base.
• 55:53
  The pitch. Cardoborle bunch one right back to Brow. He may have had a chance to go to second. He likely to go to Cepeda's first base.
• 56:02
  And Andrews goes down to second, I believe. And Brow should have got the man to second, but with the score clean and arping, he wanted to take no chance.
• 56:16
  Winding up on the Red Sox. It looks like he'll be the new pitcher, Lee Stank.
• 56:24
  Left a right hander. Had a real prime year for the Red Sox. And the hitter. Here's the fellow that looks real good.
• 56:34
  A lot of part of the season for the Red Sox when they had that tough battle to win the American League tennis.
• 56:42
  Got himself a base hit today. His name is Dalton Jones. Nelson Brow looking down to his catcher Tim McCarver.
• 56:52
  And Andrews to second with his hit. Inside, ball one. Dalton Jones hits.407 from August the 19th with 24 hits and 59 at bat.
• 57:10
  Rating his average from.220 up to.289. So you can see when he got real hot when they needed him. Dalton Jones. Nelson Brow pitches in there for a strike one.
• 57:24
  One ball and one strike on Dalton Jones. Jones will be followed by none other than Superman, Batman, Carson.
• 57:34
  All rolled up in one. Carl Yosemite. And he's made a believer out of me. He's quite a ball player. He doesn't beat to the bat.
• 57:44
  He'll beat to the field. Strong arm. Dalton Jones. Pitches. Back ball. Just got that outstretched corner. One ball and two strikes.
• 57:58
  What's been about Carl Yosemite? After he finished the game last Sunday with four hits. Four for four. I went up to Carl.
• 58:08
  I said, Carl, I heard these players call you Superman. I'll have to agree with them. Quite a player.
• 58:19
  One ball, two strikes. Nelson Bower is taking a little more time out there. Check these runners. Here's the pitch. Ball hit out of the right field.
• 58:28
  It's a base hit. Roger Myers coming in. Will Andrews score? Here comes the goal. He'll make it easily as it throws a little bit off the right.
• 58:37
  And the Red Sox break the ice here. They now trail by a score of three to one as Dalton Jones gets a line drive single out in right field.
• 58:50
  His second hit of the day. Dalton Jones did not go down to second base on that throw.
• 58:58
  And he was way better. Cepeda makes that ball out if he did. So he's on his first base with one away and Carl Yosemite is ahead.
• 59:12
  Yosemite hits by a pitch. His first time up and grounded into a double play. Four sixes to three his last time up.
• 59:22
  Three to one the Cardinals over the Red Sox when the top half is the center. Yosemite holds that bat high.
• 59:29
  Browse takes on curveball in there. Carl tries one. This is what Ken and I were talking about.
• 59:38
  That Nelson Browse has that real good overhand curveball. And it's a touch hit for a left-hander hit to hit.
• 59:47
  They thought that they may throw Yosemite a few at all today and try to keep that fastball right away from him.
• 59:55
  This is a big ball part. If he gets a hold of it, he'll hit him out of any part. That includes Yellowstone.
• 1:00:05
  There's the ball. Four long. No contact.
• 1:00:12
  Browse has something on that one. Strike two on it. On his first base, Dalton Jones. One away. Carl Yosemite.
• 1:00:24
  It's a hitter. No balls, two strikes. Let's see what Nelson Browse was so turned in in this situation.
• 1:00:35
  Yosemite fouls the plate a little bit more. He gets that bat high in the air.
• 1:00:43
  Dalton Browse keeps that. Looks over to runners first. Here's the pitch. Foul off the left.
• 1:00:53
  It's a good fastball. Yosemite may have been looking for that curveball.
• 1:01:01
  Looks at the top center of the room. Looks for a curveball with two strikes on it.
• 1:01:05
  The fastball was by. Three runs for the Cardinals on five hits. One run on five hits for the Red Sox.
• 1:01:16
  We're in the top half of the sixth inning. Here at Foote Stadium in Stantford, Missouri.
• 1:01:24
  The third game of the World Series. One game a piece. Yosemite takes the fastball outside low.
• 1:01:33
  One and two.
• 1:01:40
  And the on deck circle. Dalton Browse. It's quite a job for the Cardinals after Bob Gibson got hurt.
• 1:01:55
  They thought they had lost the pennant. This young subbuck came right in and took over.
• 1:02:01
  One and two pitch. Curveball down out to Javier.
• 1:02:04
  Hooked it up. Hooked the ball over to Capeta. To retire and Stretche. But moved it down to second base.
• 1:02:12
  Dalton Jones.
• 1:02:16
  Well this inning started out by Mike Andrews batting for Jay Wajruski.
• 1:02:23
  He's got a base hit. Cardinals. Sacrified. Jones got a base hit.
• 1:02:37
  Now Wajruski just rounded out and Jones moved to second. It flew away.
• 1:02:45
  Jardis a hitter. Jardis Stutz. What has he done?
• 1:02:55
  He's over two. He rounded out his first time.
• 1:02:59
  And sucked out his last time. A curveball and a bandy. In there. Strike one.
• 1:03:10
  George Scott. They call him Tater. That's what he calls a home run.
• 1:03:20
  In his last 50 games, from August 13 on, he has three-thirty-two.
• 1:03:29
  Curveball. One-on.
• 1:03:32
  Two strikes on George Scott. Nelson Brow.
• 1:03:41
  He doesn't take much of a windup. That's not too many the Cardinals' players do.
• 1:03:47
  I think they were taught by Billie Marcus. They don't take anything windup. They come set.
• 1:03:55
  Let it go. That's what Nelson Brow is doing. That's what he's doing right now.
• 1:03:59
  Here's the pitch. Curveball. Hit out to the shortstop.
• 1:04:02
  Maxwell up with the ball. Over to Tater. That's all for George Scott.
• 1:04:06
  That's all for the Red Sox, dear. The top half is six-fitting.
• 1:04:10
  They came up with one run on two hits. No errors. And one man left on base.
• 1:04:19
  With the four-actors. It's the Cardinals' three and the Red Sox one.
• 1:04:23
  Ready to tell you about it. Might have had to hit me. But one down to third base. That's no fair. No one will get it.
• 1:04:30
  But it's low foul.
• 1:04:33
  Mason first pitch. That's Lady Lou Brock. That would have saved them no chance.
• 1:04:43
  We said you have to keep this fellow off the side two on the beach to Cardinals.
• 1:04:50
  That's not easily done either. Brock, triple in the first inning.
• 1:04:54
  Chuck out in the third. And here he is again in the bottom half of the sixth inning.
• 1:04:59
  The Cardinals lead three to one.
• 1:05:04
  Got some good help in this booth today. Tony Kubeck.
• 1:05:10
  And Ed Snow works with us.
• 1:05:13
  Makes a big space call every Saturday throughout the year. Sandy Colt-Fex.
• 1:05:20
  Brock Busworth down to first base, man. They'll never get it.
• 1:05:26
  A good play by George Scott, the first baseman.
• 1:05:39
  George Scott, the big first baseman, came over.
• 1:05:44
  Bare handed the ball. But we were talking about Brock Graves' feet.
• 1:05:50
  He's been three days in the pitch in the first base.
• 1:05:56
  We told you, this fellow likes to run.
• 1:06:00
  He only had, let's see, 52 stolen bases on the year.
• 1:06:07
  He's now going to go on the first pitch. Let's watch it.
• 1:06:10
  No one away.
• 1:06:12
  Same as before, the first thing, George coming out.
• 1:06:15
  Both Brock slipped a little bit.
• 1:06:17
  Scott says, come on, it's on. It's telling.
• 1:06:22
  Now maybe I had it.
• 1:06:28
  We'll keep it on Brock. First flunk to hit it.
• 1:06:32
  He can handle that back.
• 1:06:35
  It's over the first base.
• 1:06:39
  Brock's back in there. He dives back in.
• 1:06:45
  You have to keep this fellow closed to Brock at first base.
• 1:06:49
  He comes in.
• 1:06:51
  Come to throw the first.
• 1:06:53
  He may go to third. They'd better hurry it up on him.
• 1:06:56
  He's making a turn in second. Here he goes to first.
• 1:07:00
  He may go home.
• 1:07:04
  He holds up his gun.
• 1:07:20
  They say, we'll get an air on the throne.
• 1:07:27
  This is what we've talked about so often.
• 1:07:33
  But, when he gets on those sacks, he not only follows the pitchers, he worries the infielders, because they have to starten up.
• 1:07:45
  Right now, the infielers pulled in as no one is out.
• 1:07:50
  And, Hurt Floater to hit it. And, he has not made a pitch for the Jimmy Three Pitchers of George shot at first base.
• 1:07:59
  Back ball, low and outside, ball one.
• 1:08:05
  Talking about our help here in the...
• 1:08:13
  In the first, Sandy Focac. Bill Gallagher helping me.
• 1:08:18
  Hurt Floater hits a little lazy flat in the right field. I don't believe Bill Brock can score on this and Lou Brock, here comes a throw and a cutoff for George Scott.
• 1:08:29
  It was not deep enough to get in Lou Brock from third base.
• 1:08:37
  So, it's one away now. Lou Brock still on his third base.
• 1:08:51
  When the bottom half is sixth inning, the Cardinals have three runs on six hits and the Red Sox have one run on five hits.
• 1:09:01
  Watt, Olsinski, in the bullpen for the Red Sox. The infielers still in. Roger Maris to the hitter.
• 1:09:13
  Lee Sang is not going into his lineup. He's looking right at Lou Brock. Here's the pitch. It's lowered inside, ball one.
• 1:09:21
  You can see what Brock can do to a ball clerk. Usually a pitcher will take a windup when a man is on third, but not with Brock's speed.
• 1:09:37
  They're concerned about him shooting home. The pitch to Roger Maris. Put on his foul straight back. One ball and one strike on Roger.
• 1:09:51
  Especially for the Red Sox, shot at first. That's bad. Second.
• 1:10:04
  Dr. Selleck's shot. Dr. Jones at third. The Simpkins left. He's not too deep, by the way. Reggie Smith in center, pull over right.
• 1:10:13
  O'Day Cardinals in right field. Elton Howard to catch him. Lee Sang to pitch it. And here comes the pitch inside. Ball two.
• 1:10:24
  Lou Brock on his third. This is Roger Maris' sixth World Series.
• 1:10:32
  He's playing 28 series games going into this series this year. The turn one pitch. Put on his track two. A turn ball right into his foul.
• 1:10:51
  Two and two at the top. One away. Elton Howard out to say something to Lee Sang. Sang takes his hit. Elton Howard down now.
• 1:11:06
  Back of Roger Maris. He's giving the sign. Sang taking the good look. He's ready. Elton Howard holds that target right in the middle. Here's the pitch. Roger.
• 1:11:20
  And a hell of a foul down at first base line. And it was just foul. Ken Colburn and Amtee Wiering here at First Stadium.
• 1:11:39
  Bringing our youth fans to the third game of the World Series. The Cardinals won the first game. The Red Sox won the second.
• 1:11:52
  Here's the put two pitch to Roger's outside. Ball three. Cardinals out in front. Three to one.
• 1:12:02
  Nelson Browse all the way. For the Cardinals. Gary Bell started for the Red Sox. Gary Wazlowski came in and now then Lee Sang here at the bottom half.
• 1:12:16
  Here's the pitch. The ball. The base hit out at the right ball. Hold those hard balls over to cut the ball off. In the score is Lugra. And holding on at first base is Roger Maris.
• 1:12:38
  Roger Maris tops in the fourth run. Here for the Cardinals. Getting a nice hand. The big bull. Orlando Cepeda. Lee Sang takes a look over first.
• 1:12:57
  Goes over there. Who knows? They may start Roger Maris. Orlando Cepeda does not have a base hit. And the third he's 0 for 8. 0 for 9.
• 1:13:18
  He's a base hit by Roger. That's his third run batted in this year. He has two on ground balls in game one. They sent Lugra home. So he has been productive in that RBI department for St. Louis.
• 1:13:37
  Lugra better the productive than run for him. And how? That one strike. That's Orlando Cepeda. The ball is popped up. Elston Howard may have a chance. He's right in front of the screen. Here comes over George Scott. Elston Howard takes a plug in there. He heads up and makes a bluff.
• 1:13:54
  But he's only kidding. That's George Scott at the first base. Came all the way in. Roger made a real good bluff. But didn't go it. Two away. The hitter is Tim McHarvey.
• 1:14:20
  McHarvey got a base hit to center field. And a grounded out. Last time up. So he's 1 for 2. First time up today. Left hander hitter. He's blocked over that place. Least hander and curveball in there for 12 strike one.
• 1:14:40
  Elston Howard is still back to same. Little high. He's staying ahead to jump but one strike on McHarvey. On his first base. Roger Maersk.
• 1:14:53
  The outfield. Swung around a little bit to the right. McHarvey. That will hit the ball anywhere though. Roger Maersk takes a good lead off first. The pitch through McHarvey is too high. One ball and one strike.
• 1:15:19
  McHarvey will be followed by Mike Shannon who hit a home run in the second inning. A red shot. One run on five hits. The Cardinals four runs on seven hits.
• 1:15:36
  Where the bottom has the sixth inning. Lee Sang comes in. Here's the pitch through McHarvey. He's started. Held up. The umpire is in there. One ball and two strikes.
• 1:15:49
  Lee Sang. Taking plenty of time. McHarvey crosses over the play. Here's the pitch curveball. A little lazy looser.
• 1:16:15
  The third base for Dalton Jones. Other than taking for the third out. And that's all for the Cardinals here. The bottom half is sixth inning. And the score after sixth inning is a play.
• 1:16:26
  With the Cardinals four and the red shot one.
• 1:16:29
  Reggie Fett hooks it to the hard out to right field. Roger Maersk going way back. That ball is gone for a home run.
• 1:16:52
  Reggie Fett on the first pitch by Nelson Browse. Hits the ball high and far out of the right field. A home run.
• 1:17:07
  That's two for three. The only time he got him out he hit the ball hard. Jerry Adair is the hitter.
• 1:17:15
  The Cardinals now lead four to two with the top half of seventh inning. Nelson Browse. Breaking pitch. Blowing outside. Ball one.
• 1:17:24
  It's Boston Red Sox club has been coming from behind all year hasn't it?
• 1:17:29
  That's been the pattern for you. They've been very tough in the late 10s and trying to get back in against a very tough young right hander here today.
• 1:17:36
  The pitch to Jerry Adair after shortstop. Max Leporetto the flip over to Cepeda. And that's all for Jerry Adair. One down.
• 1:17:50
  That brings up a little shortstop. Rico Petruccelli who fly it out to left.
• 1:17:58
  Leporetto. And throughout the center. He's going for two.
• 1:18:07
  Forty-two. Cardinals over the red side. Nelson Browse. Here's the pitch. Outside. Ball one.
• 1:18:19
  Browse. Doesn't make too much of a move. Before he gets off. Before he goes into the pitch.
• 1:18:30
  Put his foot on the rubber. Here it is. Just as he lets her go.
• 1:18:34
  It pops up. Out into Leporetto. Lerbrot coming over. Calls for it. Hold his hand up here. And takes it. Out number two.
• 1:18:43
  So after a quick home run by Reggie Smith. Browse settles down. Gets the next two batters.
• 1:18:54
  That brings up Elton Hart. Hart's got a face hit. And the right field is first time up. And struck out his last time.
• 1:19:07
  One for two. Good curveball. Low and outside. Ball one.
• 1:19:20
  Hart with that wide stance of his. Way back in the batter's park. Keeps moving that back.
• 1:19:24
  Nelson Browse looks at him. He's ready now. The pitch. Low and outside. Ball two.
• 1:19:29
  Hart checks with his folks. Popowski at third. The Red Sox have been trying to play catch up since the second inning.
• 1:19:42
  Really since the first inning. Because the Cardinals scored one in the first. Chuck baseball. Hart taking all the wares.
• 1:19:50
  Two balls in one strike. Whenever you get behind. They're like three to nothing.
• 1:20:01
  Can't play too much baseball. Got to set and hope that someone gets on.
• 1:20:07
  Pick one here to pick a couple here and get back in the ball. You can't hit and run or steal really.
• 1:20:12
  Ball right back to the middle. Javier the second baseman over there. Flips it over to Cepeda.
• 1:20:16
  And that's all for the Red Sox here in the top half of the seventh inning.
• 1:20:23
  But they came up with one run on one hit. No errors. And no one left on base.
• 1:20:27
  That's the sixth and a half inning to play for the Cardinals. Four and the Red Sox two.
• 1:20:31
  6-10 Mike Shannon leading things off. The Cardinals in the bottom half of the seventh inning.
• 1:20:36
  The first pitch by Lee Chang in there for call strike one.
• 1:20:38
  Mike Shannon is the only native of San Luis playing on the Cardinals.
• 1:20:46
  The umpire is sending someone out to the right center.
• 1:20:52
  There's a banner hanging over the fence. Get it out of there. That's Frank Humane behind home plate.
• 1:20:59
  One strike on Mike Shannon. He had a home run in the second inning.
• 1:21:04
  He must play down the third base line. He'll never get it.
• 1:21:08
  Dalton Jones up for the ball and road play.
• 1:21:19
  Mike Shannon from Dalton Jones back at third.
• 1:21:25
  Late one down. Got himself a face hit.
• 1:21:28
  The Cardinals four, the Red Sox two. We're in the bottom half of the seventh inning.
• 1:21:36
  And the hitter now is Hoolie Javier.
• 1:21:40
  That was a pretty good serve.
• 1:21:44
  Got a face hit. The left field is first time.
• 1:21:49
  That's struck out. His last time he's made a couple of fine plays in the series.
• 1:21:54
  It's one of the finest plays I've ever seen.
• 1:21:59
  In the second game of the semifinals.
• 1:22:03
  In boxing, he stole for the ball. He didn't think he had a chance to even knock the ball down.
• 1:22:10
  He not only came up with it, he threw the man out of second base.
• 1:22:16
  No one away. Javier is the hitter.
• 1:22:18
  Bang, hit. The hit guy, Elton Hyres, starts the Shannon-LeJoy.
• 1:22:24
  The Cardinals like to hit and run. They like to run.
• 1:22:32
  Shannon at first base. He only has two stolen bases on the year.
• 1:22:41
  They're throwing out fourth time. Javier.
• 1:22:45
  Get the piece of the ball. Here's the pitch.
• 1:22:49
  Javier hits the foul. Down the left field line, back in the stands.
• 1:22:55
  One ball and one strike.
• 1:23:01
  Four runs for the Cardinals on eight hits. Two runs for the Red Sox on six hits.
• 1:23:09
  We have a runner at first base, Mike Shannon.
• 1:23:12
  And the batter is Javier. One ball and one strike. Lee Stank.
• 1:23:22
  He's the pitcher.
• 1:23:25
  Okay, Darrell started for the Red Sox. Marsalouki now Stank.
• 1:23:30
  The one and one pitch for Stank. Here it is. Run on, miss, right through.
• 1:23:34
  The Red Sox in the infield defensively.
• 1:23:42
  George Scott holding Mike Shannon on down there.
• 1:23:46
  Javier Depp, second, and Texas Filler of short stops, Joplin Jones at third.
• 1:23:52
  And the outfield, Japski, miss, putter ball.
• 1:23:58
  Elton Hyres, the catcher. Lee Stank, center. Here's the pitch.
• 1:24:02
  Little tap out for short stops. Hector Shelley has to go to first base.
• 1:24:07
  And they got Javier, moving down to second, Mike Shannon.
• 1:24:12
  That ball was not hit too hard. Hector Shelley had to charge it.
• 1:24:17
  Unable to throw out Javier. So he can go down at first base line.
• 1:24:23
  That's what they're like.
• 1:24:32
  That brings up Darrell Maxwell. Maxwell struck out and flat out.
• 1:24:37
  The right sphere. He's over two.
• 1:24:41
  Down at second base, Mike Shannon looking around, checking to see where the short stops.
• 1:24:46
  Hector Shelley saying, look back at Shannon. Here's the pitch. In there for Carl Strickland.
• 1:24:54
  Darrell Maxwell, one of the fellows that played Little League Baseball.
• 1:25:02
  And his mother, they tell me, was his father. He said she's pretty tough-hearted.
• 1:25:09
  There goes the runner, Mike Shannon. The ball hit out in the turn of field.
• 1:25:12
  They make it a double play. They're just going to put on. Here comes the call.
• 1:25:16
  Did we get him? No.
• 1:25:25
  Mike Shannon was feeling third. Maxwell hits the ball.
• 1:25:30
  Joel Jones is close to third base.
• 1:25:34
  Down the ball for Mike Shannon. Told him to go back to second. He just made it.
• 1:25:39
  So it's two away. And the hitter is Nelson Brow.
• 1:25:44
  The umpire today, behind home plate, Frank Humana. First base, Paul Pryor.
• 1:25:49
  At second base, Ed Runge. First base, Paul Pryor.
• 1:25:53
  At left field, on the line, Johnny Stevenson.
• 1:25:57
  And at right field, my old friend, Mr. Al Farley.
• 1:26:03
  On the right field line.
• 1:26:05
  He was speaking with Al Varley. Jim Longboard, he was the head after the game the other day.
• 1:26:11
  The one hitter in Boston that Varley worked behind the plate.
• 1:26:14
  He was a great umpire. The first time he'd ever worked with Mr. Varley back at the plate ball.
• 1:26:20
  And Jim was very complimentary about him.
• 1:26:23
  He's one of the finest hitters I've ever seen. And he's been around for a long time.
• 1:26:27
  In fact, I think he came up about the same time I have here, 1940.
• 1:26:30
  Nelson Brow, the hitter. Big tank. First pitch, one on a miss, strike one.
• 1:26:36
  It's always nice to hear a pitcher say that.
• 1:26:40
  Yes it is. It doesn't always happen that way, does it?
• 1:26:43
  No. Al gets on me a little bit. I used to complain and moan a little bit on those calls, strikes.
• 1:26:51
  Every time he sees me, he'll look at me and kind of make a face and say, oh no, that ain't no strike.
• 1:27:00
  Try to imitate me. And I guess I did.
• 1:27:03
  I had to beg a little bit.
• 1:27:06
  One strike on Nelson Brow, late-string pitcher, purple, one on miss.
• 1:27:11
  I imagine on that last one, Mike Shannon must have been on his own going to third.
• 1:27:20
  And moving over and stealing, he would have had that base stolen easily, obviously.
• 1:27:26
  He had a real good jump.
• 1:27:29
  I don't think he fell down anywhere along here. So I'm pretty with him, baby.
• 1:27:33
  Yes. Her ball outside. Ball one.
• 1:27:43
  The Cardinals scored one in the first, two in the second, one in the sixth for their four runs.
• 1:27:50
  Red shot scored one in the sixth, one in the seventh for their two. Four to two, the Cardinals over the red shot.
• 1:27:57
  And the bottom half to seven here, a little lazy looper. The shot stop, kept the celly, goes back.
• 1:28:03
  The dad calls for it, he takes it. And that's all for Brow and that's all for Cardinals here.
• 1:28:08
  And the bottom half to seven, the score here at First Stadium, the Cardinals four and the Reds shots two.
• 1:28:16
  He's all for one. He's set 50 series up about.
• 1:28:21
  On the youth, he's at a 251.
• 1:28:28
  Good par, 16 hole mark.
• 1:28:33
  But he has no contact. Good fast ball by Brow. One ball and one strike.
• 1:28:38
  Brow checking with his catcher, McHarver.
• 1:28:49
  Bill Sang takes too much time before he steps out of there. McHarver looks over the bench.
• 1:28:58
  He wants something. Brow doesn't want to score it. Here it is.
• 1:29:04
  That ball, run on, set, strike three.
• 1:29:09
  Of course you'll see that happen a lot of times.
• 1:29:13
  Catcher wants a fast ball. Keep giving it signs.
• 1:29:20
  If he doesn't want to score it, he has to go back because the manager wants it.
• 1:29:26
  I'll throw it. One ball, two strikes. Nelson Brow takes his head.
• 1:29:31
  Here's the pitch. Good curve ball, but it breaks too far.
• 1:29:36
  Brow's got a real good overhand curve ball. Little trouble getting it over.
• 1:29:47
  Four to two, the score. The Cardinals over the Reds side.
• 1:29:52
  Bill Boyd, pitch hitting for Lee Sang and the top half, the eighth inning.
• 1:29:58
  Brow's, pitch, downer, out to shortstop Maxwell. He's up for the ball.
• 1:30:05
  Clips the ball over to Cepeda and that's all for Cepeda. Go for it.
• 1:30:11
  The Cardinals, clips the ball around to his field.
• 1:30:14
  Cepeda's first, Javier is second, Maxwell is short, Shannon is third, left field,
• 1:30:21
  right field, left, center field, left, right field, Maritz catches McCarver,
• 1:30:28
  and Nelson Brow's on the mound, all the way. Jose Cardinal.
• 1:30:37
  He's going for two. Last time up, he's sacrifice. Curve ball, the ender, strike one.
• 1:30:44
  Cardinal will be followed by Dalton Jones. Jones has two hits, last two times up.
• 1:30:55
  I'm Peewee Reed. And Ken Coleman, as the ball hit out in the center field.
• 1:31:04
  First blood back underneath and takes it for out number two.
• 1:31:14
  Ken, I can't see the reason why this ball part could affect the red shot.
• 1:31:22
  No, I think it's a good ball part for this passing front because left and right center field,
• 1:31:28
  we have several men who can get the ball out. It's a good, honest, fair ball part.
• 1:31:32
  It's certainly a beautiful, beautiful play. We're hoping to have one like it in Boston one of these days, Peewee.
• 1:31:39
  I understand you are. Hope you do. Dalton Jones, back ball by Brow's in there for called strike one.
• 1:31:52
  What's that? On Dalton Jones' foul, looking down at McCarver's safety's head.
• 1:31:58
  Brow's a struck out four. Here's the hit. Back ball hit back through the middle out here.
• 1:32:05
  The center field may hit for Dalton Jones.
• 1:32:08
  This fellow looks like quite a hitter, Ken. He's always been a very smooth pointer.
• 1:32:15
  And when he's had the chance to play, he's done well.
• 1:32:18
  He's had some problems in the past, potentially.
• 1:32:21
  And this year he's gone in there at third base, Peewee, and he's done his job.
• 1:32:24
  And he may have just won it for a long time to come, the way he's gone at late.
• 1:32:30
  Now we see that Red Chainses, for the first time today, is going out to the mound to talk to Nelson Brow.
• 1:32:38
  No indication of any warm-up activity has yet. However, there may be.
• 1:32:43
  In any case, Cepeda, McCarver, Chainses, and Brow are having a conversation now at the mound,
• 1:32:50
  part of which undoubtedly is how they want to handle Cardiff's sense of fear and how they want to pitch to him.
• 1:32:57
  And the play down by a flank, Humont, is on his way out.
• 1:33:00
  This is the eighth inning, and with one out, the Red Sox have a runner at third base.
• 1:33:06
  The Cardinals are leading by a score of four to two, but the Red Sox have been chipping away
• 1:33:12
  as they come up with single runs in the sixth and seventh.
• 1:33:15
  The conference over, the airs is in, and here's Peewee.
• 1:33:18
  Nelson Brow would have liked to have kept that man off the first base and have his 50 leading off.
• 1:33:26
  The top half of the ninth inning. One flight here has been fired up.
• 1:33:31
  And he had a go at it, but he fouled straight back. What a cut he had himself.
• 1:33:37
  And did he swing that hard last year? No, he didn't.
• 1:33:42
  He actually, as you probably have heard, and many people have, I know, during this winter,
• 1:33:46
  as Charles said himself, he claimed like a fighter.
• 1:33:50
  Every day for 90 minutes he worked out as a health problem in Boston,
• 1:33:55
  and he had a trainer working with him, and he worked just like a fighter getting ready to fight.
• 1:34:00
  And he didn't put on any weight. He weighed about 180 pounds, but he's very, very strong,
• 1:34:05
  and he's got that whip-like motion now at the plate.
• 1:34:08
  He holds his hand high. Here's the pitch.
• 1:34:11
  He'll swim her out to Javier. He's up for the ball.
• 1:34:16
  He flips the ball over to Javier.
• 1:34:19
  He's got the ball for the Red Sox here in the top half of the eighth inning.
• 1:34:23
  And the score here is plus-tinted. It's the Cardinals 4 and the Red Sox 2.
• 1:34:29
  Herb Rock, out of the bottom half of the eighth inning, he had four hits.
• 1:34:34
  In the first game up at Fenway Park in Boston, of course, there was only one hit for second game.
• 1:34:42
  That was by Javier.
• 1:34:44
  As soon as he has six hits in the series, first pitch by Dan Olszewski hit out into right field.
• 1:34:49
  That ball may be trouble, but Reggie Smith will have it.
• 1:34:52
  And right center, Reggie Smith moves over and catches it.
• 1:34:56
  Ball was hit hard for Brock.
• 1:34:59
  Kind of a high-back ball. He's chopped down on it.
• 1:35:01
  Olszewski, kind of a turkey jerky kind of a fellow out there on the mound.
• 1:35:06
  Lots of arms and legs.
• 1:35:10
  Kirk Blood, he's up for his fourth time today. He's one of the three.
• 1:35:19
  And a base hit.
• 1:35:21
  The center fielder's first time up. There's a fast ball. It's too high.
• 1:35:25
  The ball won.
• 1:35:27
  Cardinals 4 runs on eight hits.
• 1:35:29
  Red Sox, two runs on seven hits.
• 1:35:34
  Olszewski shakes his head. He's ready. Here's the fifth.
• 1:35:38
  Flurrish takes it. In there for tall strike one.
• 1:35:45
  Mike Humon.
• 1:35:47
  Behind the plate.
• 1:35:49
  They jump hard.
• 1:35:51
  Elton Howard moves outside. Here's the curve ball.
• 1:35:54
  He's slapped it down. It's too high.
• 1:35:56
  Two balls in one strike.
• 1:35:57
  As Howard Howard walks over, he takes the ball.
• 1:36:06
  Never thought we'd have such a day as we've had today.
• 1:36:11
  Kind of a misty rain.
• 1:36:14
  All day at third game. There's the ball. Hit down to the third base for Dalton Jones.
• 1:36:17
  Up with it. Over to George Scott and that's all for Kirk Blood.
• 1:36:21
  So Dan Olszewski, he's high.
• 1:36:23
  The first hit man, the baby, brings up Roger Maersk.
• 1:36:27
  Roger Maersk wants the swing.
• 1:36:30
  Hitting the double play. First time up. Flat out to right field.
• 1:36:35
  And the third of these.
• 1:36:37
  Gotta face it.
• 1:36:39
  To right field and drove in a run.
• 1:36:41
  And as Ken Solja, as he serves, runs him in in the sphere.
• 1:36:45
  Drove in the only two runs. Cardinals Jack the first.
• 1:36:48
  And Olszewski first takes it in there for tall strike one.
• 1:36:50
  They say he drove them both in.
• 1:36:59
  A little rounder but they count it.
• 1:37:02
  There's a picture there for tall strike two.
• 1:37:05
  The important thing is to get that man in from third.
• 1:37:08
  That's what he did.
• 1:37:11
  On two, let's see what Olszewski will do with Maersk.
• 1:37:15
  No ball, two strikes. Howard, the kid that gives the sign.
• 1:37:18
  He moves outside.
• 1:37:20
  Little tap style down the first base line.
• 1:37:23
  Hicks Siffler, the coach at first base for the Cardinals, retrieves the ball.
• 1:37:29
  Here's the stunt of George Siffler.
• 1:37:33
  Many of you fans remember.
• 1:37:36
  The St. Louis Browns, one of the greatest hitters of all time.
• 1:37:41
  George Siffler, Roger Maersk, picks it up side, one ball and two strikes.
• 1:37:52
  Two runs, seven hits for the Red Sox, one error.
• 1:37:57
  Cardinals, full run, eight hits, nowhere. Roger Maersk, playing inside the second base, a little tap.
• 1:38:03
  After her, it's going to stop. Look at the ball, a little shaky, but you're not getting it.
• 1:38:15
  Well, here's what happens.
• 1:38:18
  Roger Maersk, side to side, gets a little tap, a perfect shot.
• 1:38:25
  Down the first base line, George shot up with the ball.
• 1:38:28
  Oh, this, he over the first, but they can't get it.
• 1:38:33
  So, it's a base hit for Roger.
• 1:38:36
  He's second ahead of the game.
• 1:38:42
  The big ball, he still hasn't had a hit for series, oh, for three to go.
• 1:38:50
  Two away.
• 1:38:52
  Olsinski, looks over fast, here's the pitch.
• 1:38:55
  Oh, hit out into that field, Cardinals going way back, way back.
• 1:39:00
  Off of the wall, Cardinals, up with the ball.
• 1:39:03
  Here comes Roger Maersk, and it's going to Cepeda, hitting the second with the double.
• 1:39:25
  Well, Orlando Cepeda gets his first hit in the series, he was all for ten.
• 1:39:34
  It was a time drive out off the right field wall, right around that three-eighty-six foot side.
• 1:39:42
  Well, a double, that's it, Roger Maersk's first, next to the score, five to two, and save the Cardinals over the red card.
• 1:39:56
  Remember, fans, Ken Coleman and I will be right back here tomorrow for the fourth game of the World Series between the Cardinals and the Red Cards.
• 1:40:08
  Let's hope that you can be with us.
• 1:40:12
  We'll be looking forward to the friends for tomorrow's game and also the game Monday.
• 1:40:17
  MacArthur, runner on his second base, makes a hit in MacArthur.
• 1:40:23
  He's tacked it over a play for fifty, takes too much time, he's back Saturday.
• 1:40:28
  Youmuck comes out, takes the third over home plate.
• 1:40:33
  The Cardinals one for three.
• 1:40:38
  Otsiski looks back at Cepeda's second.
• 1:40:42
  Here's the pitch, that ball hit out to MacArthur.
• 1:40:46
  Otsiski's center of stretch flips the ball over the shot, and that's all for the Cardinals, that's all for the Cardinals here.
• 1:40:52
  The bottom half of the eighth inning was that one run, though.
• 1:40:54
  The Cardinals now lead by a score of six to two, with a lot of power in the right center and left center.
• 1:41:04
  And dead center, it's four fourteen dead center.
• 1:41:07
  Nelson Brown, foul back straight back, but you're a good fast ball.
• 1:41:13
  Can't remain.
• 1:41:15
  O-one-two, looks like Brown.
• 1:41:18
  Now to seek that fast ball by Scott.
• 1:41:24
  How does that feel, fifty, with a count?
• 1:41:27
  No ball for two strikes, like a bad pitch.
• 1:41:31
  Maybe you thought George Scott.
• 1:41:33
  Here's the pitch, curve ball, low and outside.
• 1:41:36
  One ball and two strikes.
• 1:41:39
  Perfect pitch on two, not so, makes the pitch so bad that maybe we're not going to offer.
• 1:41:48
  Keep it around that straight.
• 1:41:51
  Maybe two or three inches outside, two or three inches inside.
• 1:41:55
  Here's the pitch, one and two, curve ball, down two, down and in third, a long throw over to Cepeda.
• 1:42:02
  That's all for George Scott.
• 1:42:04
  The infield, flips that ball around.
• 1:42:07
  Brings up Reggie Smith.
• 1:42:11
  Reggie Smith, hit a home run his last time.
• 1:42:18
  He has good speed, he led the club in solar base, he has a terrific arm.
• 1:42:24
  He's super green today.
• 1:42:27
  Got to face it into the right, hit a home run to right field.
• 1:42:31
  He led the international league in hitting in nineteen sixty-six.
• 1:42:35
  This fellow could be a real fine one.
• 1:42:39
  He can do it all.
• 1:42:41
  Nelson Brow, first pitch going, back ball in there for call strike one.
• 1:42:45
  You'll see this happen quite often, right at part of the game.
• 1:42:51
  Consider taking that first pitch, some managers will make you take it.
• 1:42:56
  Give that pitcher a chance to pitch, maybe he'll get wild.
• 1:42:59
  Hit back, one ball to one strike.
• 1:43:05
  Sometimes when he releases that ball, and a ball's way over George's first pitch.
• 1:43:12
  Pretty hard not to follow through and release that ball with something on it.
• 1:43:20
  That's falling a little bit towards first pitch.
• 1:43:23
  Most of them do.
• 1:43:24
  Back ball, inside the corner, and that's a call strike two.
• 1:43:30
  He has something on that one.
• 1:43:32
  One ball, two strikes.
• 1:43:34
  It's one away, we're in the top half of ninth inning.
• 1:43:37
  It's the last dash for the Red Sox, as they trail by four or five to two.
• 1:43:43
  Five runs, hit it.
• 1:43:45
  No air for the Cardinals.
• 1:43:47
  Two runs, seven hits and one air for the Red Sox.
• 1:43:50
  One ball, two strikes on Reggie Smith.
• 1:43:54
  Nelson Brown, he's ready.
• 1:43:56
  Here's the pitch.
• 1:43:58
  Back ball, it pops up, McAlbert May, he has a chance, going back in the stands.
• 1:44:03
  So the Calvert May, one ball, two strikes.
• 1:44:07
  It's hard to ball as far back as I can remember.
• 1:44:14
  Always got a club that likes to run.
• 1:44:17
  That goes back to the early 40s when I first came to the league.
• 1:44:21
  That was like Enid Flauder, Enid Flauder, Terry Mora, Ralph Key, Dan Mugell, Walter Kupfer, the catcher.
• 1:44:36
  He has very good speed, hold on like McArthur.
• 1:44:40
  Nelson Brown, one and two picks for Reggie Smith.
• 1:44:43
  Back ball, just missed inside.
• 1:44:44
  Makes you count two and three.
• 1:44:52
  And a great shortstop.
• 1:44:54
  He played here at the Cardinals, his career and a parallel of my career.
• 1:45:02
  Played against teams in the 39th Junior World Series at Rochester.
• 1:45:06
  And he came up to Cardinals, party man, most of you fans will remember.
• 1:45:10
  Two balls, two strikes on Reggie Smith.
• 1:45:14
  Inside, ball three.
• 1:45:19
  Brown gets on top of Reggie Smith.
• 1:45:22
  But now, he's come back, makes the count three and two.
• 1:45:26
  Bobby Doerr is hosting a first save for the Red Sox.
• 1:45:30
  Ed Sapkowski is hosting a third.
• 1:45:33
  Three and two is the count on Reggie Smith.
• 1:45:36
  As a real close stance left-handed, he's a quick hitter.
• 1:45:43
  Right-handed, batting right-handed, he's wide open.
• 1:45:47
  Here's the three and two pick.
• 1:45:49
  He pops it up, McArthur almost knocks Reggie Smith down.
• 1:45:53
  On the up part, Carl Reggie Smith out.
• 1:45:56
  McArthur going for the ball, he bumps into Reggie Smith.
• 1:46:02
  Of course, the catcher has the right of way.
• 1:46:06
  Reggie Smith bumps back into him.
• 1:46:11
  And what he did, the umpire, like too much, called it off.
• 1:46:20
  And he did it.
• 1:46:27
  McArthur was a set-up for the put-up.
• 1:46:29
  It brings up Jerry Abed.
• 1:46:32
  The big foe, Cepeda, down at first base, he came in and sketched up this through Reggie Smith.
• 1:46:39
  0 for 3 is there for his fifth and ball one.
• 1:46:44
  The last chance, the last shot for the Red Sox, with a top half to nine sitting, they trail by the two.
• 1:46:53
  All the way, Nelson Brow for the cardinal.
• 1:46:56
  Here's the pitch. A jar is taken in there, ball side one, one ball and one shot.
• 1:47:12
  It really turned out to be a beautiful day, good old Sadler today.
• 1:47:18
  I hope it's the same type of day tomorrow.
• 1:47:20
  The one and one pitch inside, ball two.
• 1:47:26
  Two balls, one strike on Nelson Brow during eight there.
• 1:47:31
  Nelson Brow, in 65, started two games for the cardinals.
• 1:47:36
  He played it, then he started 17 and 66.
• 1:47:41
  Started 14.
• 1:47:44
  In 67.
• 1:47:53
  Outside, ball through, three balls and one strike.
• 1:47:57
  On Jerry Abed, he checks with his coach at third base, Khabarovsky.
• 1:48:03
  Let's see if he'll be taking or flinging away.
• 1:48:08
  He's running, doesn't mean too much here. He has to get on to keep the hopes alive.
• 1:48:17
  Here's the pitch. He's taking all the way, it's in there for called strike two.
• 1:48:23
  Three and two on Jerry Abed, two ways. Top half to nine sitting.
• 1:48:30
  Cardinal five, Red Sox two.
• 1:48:34
  Third game for the World Series, they're all even up going into today.
• 1:48:40
  Cardinals having a chance going out in games three to one after the day.
• 1:48:46
  They can hold it, please.
• 1:48:49
  Nelson Brow, he's ready, here's the three and two pitch.
• 1:48:52
  The ball is topped up, that's it for all of it.
• 1:48:55
  Five-seven called for it, he's got it in his face and takes it through out of number two.
• 1:48:59
  That's all, a joyous day.
• 1:49:01
  And that's all for the Red Sox in the top half of the ninth inning.
• 1:49:06
  The final score, the Cardinals five and the Red Sox two.
• 1:49:11
  We'll be back in just a minute with a complete wrap-up of today's game.
• 1:49:16
  Very shortly we're going down to the field where Tony Kuback is ready to interview Cardinal manager, Russ Chandy, and possibly Dan Muegel.
• 1:49:26
  As soon as we get word from Tony, we'll be sending it on down.
• 1:49:28
  The total's on the game, St. Louis five, 10 and 0, Boston two, seven and one.
• 1:49:35
  Down, down to Tony Kuback.
• 1:49:37
  Thank you, sir, God. You were talking to the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, Red Sox, is that correct?
• 1:49:42
  Any thoughts in your mind of just staying right home here in St. Louis and not going back to Boston?
• 1:49:46
  Well, we'd like to just stay right here, but you never know.
• 1:49:50
  We've got to plan a tough club over there and we'll battle them all the way.
• 1:49:53
  Maybe we'll go back game and we won't, but they have a good ball club.
• 1:49:56
  They have a good ball club and it's pretty hard to win three in a row.
• 1:50:00
  We have done it a number of times this year and won five in a row and six in a row. Maybe we can do it again.
• 1:50:05
  That has been a little indefinite as far as the people upstairs.
• 1:50:08
  Who is going to be your starting pitcher tomorrow? Will it be Gibson?
• 1:50:11
  Yeah, I announced it before the game that Gibson would be the pitcher and the young boy, the big tall left-hander, will pitch Monday, definitely.
• 1:50:18
  That's Carlson. That's right.
• 1:50:20
  Bet you were glad to see Orlando Coteta finally come out of it with a long double right center field.
• 1:50:24
  Yes, he's been in a slump now for quite some time before the season ended, but the past three or four days before the season was over, he was swinging a bat better.
• 1:50:35
  He's been swinging a bat real good since the series started.
• 1:50:38
  He just hadn't connected with the ball and he just can't hold a man like that down too long.
• 1:50:43
  I think he's going to go and take it right now after that base that he got.
• 1:50:46
  Red in the very first inning, Nelson Biles at Coggerson. He with a good ball. There was a big discussion behind home plate.
• 1:50:51
  The three of you picked Williams, Frank Umont, the umpire, the first and south. What was it all about?
• 1:50:57
  Well, Williams thought that Biles was throwing at him and I said he wasn't throwing at him.
• 1:51:03
  And Yvonne said that he was going to handle it himself. I said, well, that's okay with me, but I just want to let you know he wasn't throwing at him.
• 1:51:09
  I said that if he had popped off on the paper like some guys did, that they were going to knock everybody down, then I would say he was throwing at him.
• 1:51:17
  But none of us ever said anything in the paper that we were going to knock anybody down or do this or that like a couple of the pitchers had said.
• 1:51:24
  So I just said that he wasn't throwing at him.
• 1:51:27
  Red, you've seen the Red Sox and you of course have the scouting reports, but now you've played them three ball games. You're up 2-1.
• 1:51:32
  What have you noticed about the Red Sox that was not in your scouting reports?
• 1:51:36
  Well, the scouting reports are just about the same. When you go over these scouting reports, they're great.
• 1:51:42
  You get ideas from them. Some pitchers pitch different, you know.
• 1:51:47
  Your pitcher has to pitch his own game and that's the way we're going to do it from here.
• 1:51:52
  The scouting reports, they give you the weakness of the other ball club and it's great to have scouting reports, but Riles has good control.
• 1:52:01
  It depends on the pitcher. If he has good control, you know that's going to be hard to hit, especially if they've got stuff on them.
• 1:52:06
  Red and the key to the Red Sox seems to be to stop your sense and that's your dip.
• 1:52:09
  Congratulations so much. We'll see you out here tomorrow. Thank you, sir.
• 1:52:13
  Thank you, Red Chains. We'll now back up to first scouting.
• 1:52:16
  Alright. And here in the radio booth, this is Ken Coleman and we'll continue with our wrap up in one minute.
• 1:52:22
  I was a little surprised to hear what Red Chains did down stairs a while ago. I thought maybe if they won this game today, they would start the big left-handed call.
• 1:52:44
  I understand now that they're going to go with Bob Gibson tomorrow.
• 1:52:46
  Yes, that was a rather surprising move according to all the reports that we have heard up to this time because Red has been mentioning that he would like to get a left-hander in this, particularly with people like this Renskeen Jones providing a lot of the Red Sox power.
• 1:53:02
  I think one thing, Ken, that kind of hurts the Red Sox a little bit, they don't have real good left-hander-fifteen. They have a fellow named Sparky Lowers, but he does have a little arm trouble, doesn't he?
• 1:53:16
  Yes, Sparky has arm trouble and is not available. In fact, the only stuff available to us at the moment is young Ken Brett who just turned 19 and has had only two winnings of major league ball behind him after working at Fitzfield this year.
• 1:53:30
  So that could be a problem. I want to get back just for a moment here to the totals on today's ball game.
• 1:53:37
  St. Louis winning it 5-2, home runs were hit by Mike Shannon of St. Louis, a two-run job in the second inning.
• 1:53:45
  And Reggie Smith had won for the Red Sox in the seventh inning.
• 1:53:49
  Dalvin Jones had the three hits and four tries for Boston. Lou Brock had a pair of hits, Roger Maris had two, and Shannon had a pair for St. Louis.
• 1:54:00
  So it was quite a ball game here in the third game of the World Series.
• 1:54:04
  Played before the largest crowd ever at First Memorial Stadium, 54,575 fans were on hand to watch this one.
• 1:54:14
  And tomorrow, as we mentioned, it will be Bob Gittsons working for the Singler's Cardinals and Jose Santiago will be on the mound for the Boston Red Sox.
• 1:54:25
  The Cardinals jumped out very quickly in this game when Brock led off the game by whacking a triple into the alley out in left center field and Flutt singled him home.
• 1:54:35
  So right away they had a one-to-nothing lead.
• 1:54:37
  Then in the second inning, McArthur led off with a single and Shannon came up with his home run.
• 1:54:44
  They picked up more in the sixth inning on a punt by Brock.
• 1:54:49
  When Zang tried to pick him off first, he threw wildly fast shots and Brock got all the way around the third where Maris singled him home.
• 1:54:58
  And in the eighth inning, Maris got a check swing single down the first base side.
• 1:55:02
  And Cepeda broke the ice for himself in the World Series by slamming a double off the wall in right center to send home the fifth Cardinal run.
• 1:55:11
  As Boston was concerned in the scoring column here today, their first run came when Mike Andrews had a yet-to-get hitting in the sixth inning with sacrifice to second and scored on Joan Singles.
• 1:55:24
  And Smith provided the other run with the home run.
• 1:55:27
  So Pee-wee, that's pretty much the story on this ball game today.
• 1:55:34
  And the fans now are starting to file out and we have been, as we have mentioned a number of times during the broadcast, very fortunate in terms of weather.
• 1:55:44
  Because when you and I get up this morning, I know that we had some doubts, a lot of doubts about what the situation would be weather-wise.
• 1:55:52
  But it held off and now we might catch some rain tonight and have it clear tomorrow.
• 1:55:57
  Well it certainly did turn out to be a nice game.
• 1:56:00
  And thanks, John, to Sharp right now for the Red Sox.
• 1:56:03
  But I've said, and I've seen this ball club, and Maris knows you've seen them a lot more than I have, that when you get the bat ready to counter the Red Sox ball club out, this is when they bounce back.
• 1:56:13
  And they're a real pressure ball club.
• 1:56:15
  They're cocky.
• 1:56:16
  They're cocky not to the extent where you would just like a ball club, but they're very competent.
• 1:56:23
  And that's good.
• 1:56:25
  Well, you know, I think a good example was the last week of the season when they lost two games in the middle of the week to the Cleveland Indians.
• 1:56:31
  And then they had the Minnesota Twins come into town, a team that had beaten them 11 times already in 16 meetings.
• 1:56:39
  They had to win the two games at the end of the season with the Twins no matter what anybody else might do.
• 1:56:43
  And they were able to do it.
• 1:56:46
  So it's that kind of a ball club.
• 1:56:48
  And we were discussing it last night, some of us, and Tony Kupac included.
• 1:56:53
  And he said the interesting thing about World Series competition, and you've played in seven of them, T.Rico, you might be able to bear this out or not.
• 1:57:01
  But Tony said the more World Series you're in, the more you get to realize what it's all about and the more pressure you feel.
• 1:57:08
  When you're a youngster in it and you've never been in it before, maybe it doesn't bother you quite as much because you're just kind of thrilled about being there and it doesn't quite hit you so much.
• 1:57:19
  How do you feel about that?
• 1:57:21
  Well, I discussed that a little bit with Tony today, and he said that I was talking about that.
• 1:57:26
  I don't agree with him, but I told him so.
• 1:57:27
  Because playing in a World Series is always kind of nerve-wracking to me, Ken, and I played one when I was about 20 or 21 my first year in 1941.
• 1:57:39
  And I played one in my career rather late.
• 1:57:42
  But it's a great thrill just to be in the World Series, but I think that I felt the pressure in every game and every series.
• 1:57:51
  I don't care whether I was young or whether I was old, but once the game started, I believe I lost it.
• 1:57:57
  Well, I think that would be very understandable, and I suppose a veteran might lose it a little earlier than a newcomer.
• 1:58:05
  But I suppose, again, you get down to a matter of the makeup of the individual and how he reacts to it.
• 1:58:11
  That's true.
• 1:58:13
  One of those things.
• 1:58:14
  Right now, we'll have the final totals for you once again in just one minute.
• 1:58:24
  You know, most of the time, I guess we get another look at Bob Gibson tomorrow, and if I ever saw a pitcher that looked more overpine than he did in that first game up there, Boston, I can't remember when.
• 1:58:39
  He's not too much of a curveball pitcher, but he just keeps firing the ball hard.
• 1:58:46
  There's not much of a man in him.
• 1:58:48
  Well, everybody on the Red Sox ball club team was very, very much impressed with him.
• 1:58:52
  For most of them, it was the first time they'd seen Bob Gibson, of course, and they were very much impressed.
• 1:58:59
  The question I would ask you is, for a fellow who is, as they say, a power pitcher to come back after so brief a time, is he going to be able to throw that hard again tomorrow?
• 1:59:13
  Well, they say, Ken, I haven't seen that much of him, Ken.
• 1:59:16
  And another thing, as you said, they had never seen Bob Gibson before, and the second time around, it may be a little bit more helpful to them.
• 1:59:26
  They may not be so hard to find, and it should be a real interesting ballgame.
• 1:59:33
  But I don't think a power pitcher has to come back that fast with maybe those tough odds.
• 1:59:39
  Well, it might be. Now, Jose Santiago, of course, he has been in some clutch ballgames down the stretch for the Red Sox, and he'll get the nod tomorrow for Boston, with Jim Launborg slated to work here on Monday.
• 1:59:52
  And Santiago, in the early stages of the first World Series game, had trouble with his breaking stuff.
• 2:00:00
  He couldn't keep it down, and he has got to be able to keep it down in order to be effective.
• 2:00:05
  And he's had to get grooved after a while, and it's very possible that he'll be able to come up with a strong performance again.
• 2:00:12
  One of the things that should not be overlooked about today's game, I thought, Sewe, from the Red Sox's standpoint, was the drop turned in by Gary Wazlowski, who came in and took three perfect innings, setting down nine men in a row.
