  Chicago Cubs faced the Pittsburgh Pirates for a Sunday doubleheader at Forbes Field on June 28th, 1970.
• 0:13
  The Cubs were optimistic under manager Leo DeRocher, which after decades as a sub-500 team were finally on the rise, having finished in second place in 1969.
• 0:23
  The Pirates were coached again by Danny Murtaug, who had managed the team several years earlier before moving up to their front office.
• 0:29
  Despite aging stars like Clemente and Masgrowski, the 1970 Pirates had a solid core of youngsters like Stargell, Al Oliver, Dave Cash, and Doc Ellis that would lead the franchise into a lot of success through the 1970s.

• 3:10
  He will be making his first start.
• 3:12
  This coming to Chicago from Atlanta.
• 3:16
  And for the Bucks, who get a fine ovation now as they come out of the Nugouts and head on to the field.
• 3:24
  Leading off and playing in center field will be Maddie Halleux.
• 3:28
  Batting second, the third baseman, Richie Hefner.
• 3:32
  Hitting third and in right field will be Al Oliver.

  Batting seventh and doing the catching will be Jerry May.
• 3:55
  Hitting eighth, the second baseman will be Bill Mazurowski.
• 4:00
  And batting ninth and doing the pitching will be Jim Nelson.
• 4:06
  Nelson comes into the ball game with a record of two and nothing.
• 4:11
  By virtue of the victory in the first game of a double header, a real friller here.
• 4:18
  The Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates are divided by another full game.
• 4:25
  It seems that as of right now, the Cubs lead them by a game and a half.
• 4:31
  So that victory string was a big one.
• 4:34
  It's extended to six. It's the longest winning streak for the Bucks this year.
• 4:38
  For the Cubbies now, they have lost nine in a row.
• 4:42
  Nelson, who has turned everything around.
• 4:45
  Last Monday night in the second game of the double header,
• 4:49
  will toe the pitching rubber for this one this afternoon, Nelly.
• 4:53
  Well, he sure did and a real gutty performance.
• 4:56
  Just a kind of a fellow that has the same attitude as Bob Moot.
• 5:00
  I don't think he's overwhelmed with victory and he's not saddened by any kind of defeat or bad performance.
• 5:05
  He's kind of even tempered.
• 5:07
  And Steve Blass put it pretty well last night.
• 5:09
  We're out at Greengate Mall and he's talking about Jim Nelson.
• 5:13
  He said he's the kind of a guy that you can hit with everything you've got.
• 5:17
  You knock him down and he just keeps coming back.
• 5:19
  He doesn't know what he's with.
• 5:21
  And it's a kind of intangible.
• 5:23
  You cannot scout for it, but really great pitches and I think great athletes have.
• 5:27
  And I think this guy can be one of them.
• 5:30
  He doesn't have an overpowering fastball,
• 5:32
  but he's got that good palm ball that sets up the fastball good
• 5:36
  and he challenges hitters from the time he walks in and around until he gets out.
• 5:40
  Bob, we have nine innings to go and hopefully the Cubs will bow again to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
• 5:46
  But as you come on for the start of this game,
• 5:50
  there must be a little sadness in one Robert Prince after all these years.
• 5:56
  Maggie, Gene, Nellie, hello again everybody.
• 5:58
  There's more than a little sadness.
• 6:00
  It's a tremendous overpowering amount of grief in a sense.
• 6:05
  It's one of the real tough things to do because I realize this is where I received my start.
• 6:11
  In the late Rosie Rosewell I've seen so many wonderful and great thrills.
• 6:15
  And to know now that I have approached the final, absolutely totally final end of this ballpark
• 6:25
  is something that's like losing a dear loved one not quite as bad when you expect them to pass away.
• 6:31
  So when it doesn't happen, you're still on grief rips.
• 6:36
  All right, Kessinger in at 289, one home and an 18 runs batted in.
• 6:40
  Coaching in third is Phoenix Lowry over to first, Julian Alpotano, Jimmy Nelson 2-0 on the air.
• 6:48
  Now Nelson works and the palm ball is hit foul by the first 0-2.
• 6:56
  The Buccos won the front game 3-2 and that's now history.
• 7:02
  The bat is broken and Kessinger needs a new wedge.
• 7:08
  I just had the pleasure of being on television in the Chicago area with Jack Brickhouse,
• 7:12
  the veteran Chicago caster.
• 7:14
  I've had the pleasure of working several All-Star games and the veteran voice of the Cubs.
• 7:21
  And we got kind of nostalgic because he and I both had some fine memories of this ballpark
• 7:26
  and working here in an All-Star game together and elsewhere.
• 7:35
  But that's something.
• 7:38
  This is the end of the old lady.
• 7:41
  Ball outside, 1-2.
• 7:44
  And the horse, our Nicky, here, the ground keeper par excellence, Krusty Fitzberg,
• 7:51
  and everything will sometime be over here watching it go.
• 7:54
  There's a face hit to left by Kessinger.
• 7:57
  Gooped up by Sturgill, he goes to the opposite field off Nelson's palm ball.
• 8:04
  Significantly Chicago's Cubs who open here close here,
• 8:08
  but their opening victory 1909 was by a score of 3-2.
• 8:16
  We had two close games on the series yesterday afternoon and the first one today, Bob.
• 8:22
  Yep, and the score in game one was 3-2, I would.
• 8:26
  So we paid them back.
• 8:27
  I'd like to do it again, 3-2, and let them know we were any minute.
• 8:30
  Throw over to first base, we're Bobby Robertson.
• 8:32
  Grab the ball, Kessinger's back.
• 8:34
  There's Paul Popovich in second baseman, 2-63, three homers in ten runs batted in.
• 8:40
  Sturgill, DeLue, and Oliver, the outfield.
• 8:42
  Hebner, Alley, Mazarovski, Robertson, the infield.
• 8:44
  Let's throw to first base, Kessinger just does scramble back.
• 8:52
  Left hand batting Paul Popovich.
• 8:58
  Jim Nelson checks it first, delivers.
• 9:01
  Swing him up outtips, strike one.
• 9:03
  He plays Jerry May.
• 9:05
  He walked to drive in a big run in the late stages of the ball game.
• 9:12
  And then Justy got in some trouble and Luke Walker came in striking out banks and
• 9:17
  running out of batter and it was all over, 3-2 with the bases loaded.
• 9:21
  There's a ball hit off the right side, diving mass can't get it.
• 9:24
  It's going to be on in for a base hit and the right center, Kessinger's on his way into third.
• 9:28
  And so we now have runners in first and third with nobody out.
• 9:35
  And the batter will be the left fielder Billy Williams at 2-9-0, 19 homers and 61 runs batted in.
• 9:46
  And third, playing left field, number 26, Billy Williams.
• 9:56
  And so we're on the outfield here now to Billy Williams.
• 10:00
  Billy in the front game, one for four.
• 10:03
  Popovich just playing in this game, did not appear in the first game.
• 10:06
  There's a drive into the gap in the right center, the ref and Nelson in a hurry.
• 10:10
  That'll drive in one run.
• 10:11
  Luke fires the ball into Mazarosti, first and third occupied and we're up with action in our both in Orlando, Pennsylvania.
• 10:25
  Out of batter is Jim Hickman who is one for three in the first game.
• 10:30
  He's batting 331, 18 homers, 51 runs batted in.
• 10:38
  So the Cubs take a lead here and threaten to pop it open if they can.
• 10:43
  Orlando, Pennsylvania shouldn't take a lot of loosening up as he was up several times in the first game.
• 10:49
  But you'll have to stop Chicago here if they possibly can without further damage.
• 10:55
  First and third occupied and nobody out.
• 11:00
  The pitch, palm ball up high, one ball and no strikes.
• 11:07
  Kessinger opened up with a two-strike single through the gap in left.
• 11:11
  Popovich then single into right center and Williams did likewise, driving Kessinger home and putting Paul Popovich to third.
• 11:18
  Palm ball, strike is called, one and one, Hickman checking off.
• 11:27
  One ball and one strike.
• 11:37
  Fast ball into the dirt, blocked down nicely by Jerry May, one and two and one.
• 11:50
  Two balls, one strike.
• 11:55
  Jimmy Nelson in trouble.
• 11:58
  The right-hand batting Hickman the pitch, just inside and it's three and one.
• 12:07
  Chicago leading here one and nothing in the second and the final game.
• 12:13
  Between these two teams are pirates or anybody at force.
• 12:17
  Three balls and a strike.
• 12:23
  Right-hand batting Jim Hickman, now a throw over to first base and the batter or the runner there, Williams, is back.
• 12:31
  Three balls, one strike.
• 12:34
  Outfield around to the left, Don Hickman.
• 12:37
  Now the look by Nelson, three-one pitch and it's driven deep to left hooking and it's going to be foul.
• 12:51
  So we have a 3-2 count and we'll watch Williams now.
• 13:02
  Popovich is third and Williams is first.
• 13:05
  Shots lead, one nothing.
• 13:07
  We're in the top half of the first of game two.
• 13:09
  Pirates won the first game three to two before a sellout-thrown standing room only crowd.
• 13:17
  And the pitch.
• 13:18
  There's the palm ball, hit towards third, Hefner gets it, holds the runner there.
• 13:21
  They come to the plate now and they got the run in the mouth as Nelson interferes.
• 13:25
  Now Hefner's back down and they got a double play.
• 13:29
  Now DeRocchi's going to argue for interference on the part of Nelson.
• 13:35
  I called interference on the part of Nelson but I don't know whether or not the umpire feels I've had anything to do with a double play.
• 13:45
  We're going to have to wait and see.
• 13:48
  Now what happened was the ball was hit by Hefner.
• 13:50
  Down to Hefner.
• 13:52
  Hefner came up with it and held the runner Popovich for a moment.
• 13:56
  Then he threw the second base, that's towards Williams by four.
• 14:01
  Mazz came home with the ball and as Popovich was coming down the line at third,
• 14:06
  he was bumped by Nelson coming across the cover on his way.
• 14:10
  And then they got him in a run down.
• 14:12
  And it looks as though they're going to hold a rule to DeRocchi but they were definitely bumping around on the part of Jimmy Nelson.
• 14:19
  As I called it for you when it occurred.
• 14:22
  The ruling will stand and it will be a double play.
• 14:26
  And Hickman will be at first base on what is a force play.
• 14:34
  And Williams will be out five to four and Popovich will be out four to Hefner.
• 14:45
  With a two in there catching four to five.
• 14:48
  So you have a very unusual double play and they do not rule interference.
• 14:56
  Rather unusual two out.
• 15:05
  So over to first Hickman is back.
• 15:08
  So put Hickman on first on a force play.
• 15:11
  He rates Williams five to four.
• 15:14
  Then had Mazz come to the plate.
• 15:18
  Swing and a miss by Sento.
• 15:21
  And then he goes to Hefner who puts down Popovich who claimed he was interfered with as Nelson ran into him.
• 15:28
  Coming over to cover up halfway between third and home.
• 15:33
  Ron Sento over three in the first game batting at two thirty.
• 15:38
  No balls of strike.
• 15:42
  Palm ball inside one and one.
• 15:44
  I have to go on the assumption that the umpires that I know they saw the bumping around.
• 15:49
  Any doubt about that bumping around business?
• 15:53
  The question is whether or not in their opinion the runner was obstructed in such a way that he could not either get home or go back to third.
• 16:00
  And it is obviously a rule that he could not do either.
• 16:05
  That is why I am sure Al Barlich in third base umpire or played umpire bar go felt there was nothing to it.
• 16:16
  Two balls and a strike.
• 16:18
  It was so far down the line that there was in any way you could get him either way.
• 16:23
  That he could get back either way.
• 16:26
  But there was definite bumping.
• 16:28
  Alright two balls and a strike.
• 16:35
  Sento to batter.
• 16:36
  Now the two one pitch.
• 16:38
  Over the plate for a strike two and two.
• 16:42
  So Eddie Bargo of Butler, Pennsylvania who as a youngster saw many a game here at Forbes goes the honor of calling the last game in the major league to be performed at Forbes field.
• 16:55
  Two balls two strikes.
• 16:56
  That won't make one with a difference to him behind that plate.
• 16:59
  He just knows it is two teams going and that is as far as he knows.
• 17:02
  From that time on if the ball or a strike you are safe or you are out.
• 17:13
  Two balls two strikes.
• 17:15
  The look at first to pitch to Sento.
• 17:16
  Ball outside three and two.
• 17:18
  Hickman will be up and going.
• 17:25
  This opened up with a single by Kessinger.
• 17:27
  Single Popovich.
• 17:28
  Single Williams.
• 17:29
  And Pena warming up.
• 17:30
  Now he is just lobbing with two down and Hickman the runner at first.
• 17:35
  This represents right here I would think for Nelson a very key out.
• 17:39
  Three balls two strikes.
• 17:40
  Hickman takes off.
• 17:41
  Palm ball pops him up.
• 17:43
  And Heffner and Alley.
• 17:44
  And it is Alley saying I got it.
• 17:47
  And he is there for the eye.
• 17:54
  One run on three hits.
• 17:55
  No errors.
• 17:56
  And one left.
• 17:57
  And we go to the bottom of the first Chicago leading one and nothing.
• 18:03
  The Arctic Tundra.
• 18:04
  Twelve inches of vegetation covering frozen ground a thousand feet deep.
• 18:08
  When Atlantic Richfield Company discovered oil on Alaska's north slope,
• 18:12
  the place we call the Arco Circle,
• 18:14
  we found out if you disturb the tundra you cause erosion.
• 18:17
  A tire track can cause a 50 foot gorge.
• 18:20
  We stopped driving our trucks across it and started experiments with 13 different kinds of grass seed
• 18:25
  so that if erosion occurs we'd be ready.
• 18:28
  The seeding has to be done by hand.
• 18:30
  The fertilizing has to be done by helicopters.
• 18:32
  And the grasses will have to be incredibly hardy to make it.
• 18:35
  But if they do, there will be a way to protect the delicate tundra forever.
• 18:40
  At Atlantic Richfield Company,
• 18:42
  we're doing this because we believe drilling for oil and conservation go together.
• 18:47
  We went all the way to Alaska to drill for oil so we can provide your local Atlantic dealer
• 18:52
  the finest Arco petroleum products for your car.
• 18:55
  Music
• 19:24
  Music
• 19:32
  Bill Paffert to that hander, 2 and 2 on the hill.
• 19:36
  Howdy, Alou batting.
• 19:39
  Music
• 19:46
  Here's the pitch.
• 19:47
  And Alou owns the foul in the play.
• 19:49
  Alou won for four in the first game, batting a 276.
• 19:55
  Rusty Staff, it is 11th from Montreal and the 8th with one on, they lead 3 to 2.
• 20:03
  They're leading the Mets 3-2 and still batting.
• 20:08
  Now the 0-1.
• 20:09
  Ball inside in account of one ball and one strike.
• 20:14
  Try to learn of the passing and Jim Spock, the manager of WLEM on our prior radio network.
• 20:22
  The manager of WLEM, that's our fierce enemy, the Longer's family.
• 20:28
  Curve ball, first strike, 1 and 2.
• 20:30
  At the end of eight innings in Montreal, the Montreal Expos lead the New York Mets 3-2.
• 20:42
  One ball, two strikes, the pitch.
• 20:44
  Ball outside, 2 and 2.
• 20:47
  Carl Morton and Sadecki are hooked up there and Morton has three outs to go to help the Buccos gain a game.
• 20:55
  Hear the crowd roar?
• 21:00
  Two balls, two strikes.
• 21:02
  Alou hits a high fly ball down the right field line.
• 21:05
  Callison running very hard, running, running, running.
• 21:08
  It's a foul ball if Callison can't get to it.
• 21:14
  Funny thing, I was just talking with Jack Brickhouse.
• 21:18
  We were going around the park looking at things that I'm going to sorely miss just from the way of views.
• 21:25
  And we showed the scoreboard and said when we take this down, you'll have the only one left in the major leagues
• 21:31
  where you see the inning by inning.
• 21:33
  You can see the charm of that with the crowd roaring when they see Montreal get two up there
• 21:39
  because the folks are cognizant of what we did in the first game that are here.
• 21:43
  They're aware of what we're doing in this game.
• 21:46
  A foul up the long third.
• 21:47
  It may be a play for Santo this time.
• 21:49
  The ball's drifting on him and the snatch is a beautiful play by Ron Santo.
• 21:58
  And when you saw the two come up here, you heard that crowd roar.
• 22:02
  Now when you really hear the roar is if they just start taking down the numbers
• 22:08
  and put it up Montreal free in a New York match two.
• 22:12
  The way this race is going, we need all the help we can get,
• 22:15
  but we can't do anything about what's going on in Montreal.
• 22:18
  What's going on right here we've got to worry about.
• 22:20
  Hefner who is one for three in the first game, hitting a three on the hand.
• 22:25
  Here's the pitch.
• 22:26
  Swing and a miss, strike one.
• 22:29
  Cubs lead one and nothing.
• 22:31
  Cubs won the first game three to two.
• 22:37
  No balls, one strike.
• 22:38
  The outfielder out to the right.
• 22:40
  There's Hefner.
• 22:42
  Al Oliver on deck.
• 22:45
  That was the right hander works and there's a high fly ball out of the center field.
• 22:48
  Three-o-three-o-chain drifting over to the left.
• 22:51
  He's there and it's two-outs.
• 22:53
  Cubs won and the Pirates nothing.
• 22:56
  The right field and Al Oliver at two-five-o-five homers and 31 runs batted in.
• 23:02
  One thing I'm going to request of you, Nelly, I'm going to want,
• 23:06
  I know you can prepare it in due time.
• 23:09
  I'd like to score a correct time by everybody that played in the last game.
• 23:13
  We'll get Chicago and we'll get Chicago and then make me up a little plaque, if you will, ball outside.
• 23:20
  I'd like to have the plaque, if you don't mind, of the last game I ever called here with the scoring of the game
• 23:27
  for both clubs signing in their proper positions.
• 23:30
  You'd do that for me?
• 23:31
  I'd be happy to do it, huh?
• 23:33
  You're making money hand over fist with these firsts.
• 23:35
  The foul, I ought to play one and one, but it's all right, old buddy.
• 23:39
  No, of all the cost, too.
• 23:42
  I don't want you to do that.
• 23:44
  Take your mark up.
• 23:45
  It's hard to get.
• 23:48
  He's looking for a no-hitter every game, Bob.
• 23:51
  He better not get one here.
• 23:53
  I won't speak to either of you guys.
• 23:55
  He threw up a no-hitter in this game.
• 23:57
  I want to walk out of here saying I never saw a no-hitter in this ballpark.
• 24:03
  You joining me, Ned Arthur?
• 24:05
  We don't want Lady Forbes to give up a no-hitter here, do we?
• 24:10
  Two balls and a strike.
• 24:11
  Not this far, not after 61 years.
• 24:14
  No way.
• 24:15
  Two on pitch.
• 24:17
  And a swing and it's two and two.
• 24:22
  We've already lost our chance to get one.
• 24:25
  Now the first hit we get and we can breathe easy.
• 24:30
  Come on, Al.
• 24:32
  Get it over with.
• 24:34
  Two balls, two strikes, two out, the pitch.
• 24:37
  Turn it over outside, three and two.
• 24:41
  Remember I asked Ang Bowler one day what Pappas do.
• 24:44
  He's a fastball slider, gets it up the tower to park.
• 24:48
  He'd like to even get a slider up, but he's still closer.
• 24:51
  Three balls, two strikes.
• 24:53
  Milk Pappa's working out all over the pitch.
• 24:56
  And there she goes.
• 24:58
  My giant kiss of goodbye.
• 25:02
  Cheers and applause.
• 25:29
  Good in the second race in the middle, tomorrow night.
• 25:33
  Want me to come over?
• 25:35
  I haven't missed so far today.
• 25:37
  I've been pretty fortunate.
• 25:39
  A slider up.
• 25:40
  Here's William Starrge at 2.45.
• 25:43
  Five balls, he's left field.
• 25:45
  Billy Williams back will have a play.
• 25:48
  And that will be Tara the Side.
• 25:51
  There will never be a no-hitter at Forbes Field.
• 25:55
  One run on one hit, a homer by Oliver.
• 25:58
  And the one, we're tied up one-one.
• 26:01
  Did you ever have a girl show up in a wig and not recognize her?
• 26:04
  Well, here's the story somewhat like that.
• 26:07
  Some people have received new credit cards and failed to recognize them.
• 26:11
  And of course this is understandable.
• 26:13
  The big name on the card, and incidentally it's a handsome card,
• 26:17
  but the big name is ARCO, A-R-C-O.
• 26:21
  They didn't realize that this new ARCO card was a replacement for their old Atlantic credit card.
• 26:27
  After Richfield and Atlantic merged to become the Atlantic Richfield Company,
• 26:32
  it made sense to have one national credit card good at thousands of service stations from coast to coast.
• 26:38
  Makes it easy for everyone, including the people at Hertz, Ramada and Treadway Inns,
• 26:43
  Hyatt House Hotels, Hyatt Lodges, Travelodge Motels, Friendship Inns,
• 26:47
  Evans Walker Inns, Incorporated, and Superior Motels.
• 26:51
  They all honor this new card.
• 26:53
  Now they have only one name to remember, and so do you.
• 26:57
  ARCO, it stands for all the good products and services you get at your Atlantic station.
• 27:04
  All right, here we go now into the second inning tied up 1-1, Johnny Callison.
• 27:24
  Standing in, Johnny had a 0-3 day in the front game.
• 27:28
  He's batting a 2-47.
• 27:30
  He's homered 34 runs batted in.
• 27:32
  He's going to miss by one.
• 27:38
  Those of you who might have missed it earlier, Roberto Clemente who has just made a magnificent gesture.
• 27:45
  The autographed baseballs for Art McKenna and Gene and Nellie and me,
• 27:50
  and I'm quite sure for several other members around here,
• 27:53
  they sent them up to him with personally autographed baseballs with a message for each one of us
• 27:59
  what either one of us or any one of us particularly meant to him.
• 28:04
  The G1 thing, and of course, and he's only known to you a little bit,
• 28:07
  Nellie, a long time to me for some things that I've been involved with him,
• 28:12
  and it's just a treasure thing, a real treasure, and that's just the word for it, treasure.
• 28:18
  Callison, a fellow, what a thoughtful individual.
• 28:22
  They take one, Arriba, Arriba Clemente.
• 28:25
  And there, just walk in with a youngster.
• 28:29
  I would sort of suspect somehow or other Roberto will play in the last game at Forbes Field.
• 28:34
  Would you, Nellie?
• 28:36
  I imagine he's going to make some sort of an appearance.
• 28:38
  If it's, if we're out in front, you can bet he's going to be defensively in the outfield.
• 28:42
  If we're behind, he's going to be doing some pinching.
• 28:45
  I hope it's the first rather than the latter.
• 28:48
  You've got to think positively, my boy.
• 28:51
  Positively.
• 28:54
  One ball, two strikes to John Callison.
• 28:57
  Sails it all the way to the backstop, two and two.
• 29:02
  Well, in the first game we had a problem with regard to the, the greasy kidstop,
• 29:10
  and Al Barty went out and ran his hands through the air in the cap of one Regan.
• 29:15
  That was a strikeout by Callison.
• 29:21
  First strikeout for Nelson.
• 29:23
  And so we're moving along here right now and the batter's going to be Cleo James batting 198.
• 29:31
  That's two hits.
• 29:32
  He was the fellow, really it was six foot three and Cleo James two in the first game.
• 29:37
  He scored a run and drove in the run.
• 29:40
  So that he's responsible for two tallies.
• 29:42
  Billy Hans lost a tough ball game.
• 29:45
  But the Bucks won a big one when they held them off in the night.
• 29:51
  Cleo right in batter.
• 29:53
  Punched the ball, dropped it right foul, strike one.
• 30:05
  Got a sign out there.
• 30:06
  Somebody's not going to give it up.
• 30:07
  I bet she's hanging down, looks like she's saying, does Forbes feel forever?
• 30:13
  Well, I'll tell you, it's been great for 61 years, but it's not going to be forever.
• 30:18
  Nothing ever is.
• 30:19
  Progress will prevail.
• 30:22
  But this will be a beautiful scene that we'll remember forever.
• 30:25
  One and one and the fans that have been here will, while you'll enjoy, come into Cleo Breever Stadium and believe me you will.
• 30:31
  It's an awe inspiring sight.
• 30:33
  Here's the one-one.
• 30:35
  Foul ball right down the left side.
• 30:39
  One and two.
• 30:42
  It's never been a ball park.
• 30:51
  Never been a ball park.
• 30:56
  But the background of the Cleo that we have here.
• 31:01
  The fans are upset.
• 31:02
  The backs slipped out and one of the fans got it with Cleo.
• 31:05
  Let me ask you folks something.
• 31:16
  This could be his game back.
• 31:18
  This could be the one that he had the two hits with.
• 31:20
  I'm going to give him another bat.
• 31:22
  Leo DeRozsa's sending it down to him.
• 31:26
  That's all he wanted was his own back back.
• 31:28
  Leo DeRozsa sends it back down.
• 31:30
  See?
• 31:31
  You'll find it now.
• 31:38
  I'll tell you one of the tragic things would be if somebody were somehow or other able to take Billy Mazarovsky's game back.
• 31:45
  The one he's kept with him for years.
• 31:47
  They don't make them like that anymore.
• 31:49
  Don't even.
• 31:51
  Send him down and they'll escort him out there.
• 31:55
  Here's a two-two pitch just underneath three and two.
• 32:01
  I'll say that would be a great souvenir.
• 32:03
  But let me tell you what it does.
• 32:04
  It belongs to the nation.
• 32:05
  When Mazarovsky's finished with it, it'll go to Cooperstown.
• 32:08
  And that's where it belongs.
• 32:10
  Where they can all see it.
• 32:13
  Filed it right out of play.
• 32:15
  And I'm quite confident that Bill will send that glove to Cooperstown.
• 32:18
  It belongs up there.
• 32:19
  It looks like a glove used in 1909.
• 32:24
  I've never seen a smaller glove in my life on a Major League ball player.
• 32:34
  Three balls, two strikes, one out.
• 32:36
  We're in the second inning tied up 1-1.
• 32:38
  Pirates won the first game three to two.
• 32:44
  On deck is J.C. Martin, Jimmy Nelson working three-two pitch to Cleo James.
• 32:50
  Foul ball to the right side out of play.
• 32:52
  Cleo's choking up just a little bit on his path.
• 32:54
  He's not trying for Pumpsville.
• 32:58
  They're just trying to make contact.
• 33:06
  Man, you don't think we're going to be in the middle of a hornets mess when we come flying around into New York next Monday, tomorrow night.
• 33:12
  Three-two pitch, a fly ball toward left coming up for it.
• 33:14
  Will Stoddell has it.
• 33:16
  I can't wait for Jane Jarvis and that magnificent Oregon music at Shea Stadium and 55,000 people going wild.
• 33:30
  And that will be about how many will be there when we play the match tomorrow night and Tuesday night and then again on Wednesday afternoon.
• 33:39
  But what if everything goes the way it's going right now?
• 33:42
  That will be for the lead in the Eastern Division. Cardinals beat the Phillies 5-4.
• 33:49
  Pitch to J.C. Martin batting at 149.
• 34:01
  One ball and a strike.
• 34:04
  Sawed him off inside 2-0.
• 34:07
  Ladies and gentlemen, Montreal has beaten the Mets.
• 34:15
  That's two out of three for them over the Mets.
• 34:19
  They win it, 3-6-0, 2-12-1.
• 34:22
  Morton beats the Dekes, 27,000 at Clark-Curie.
• 34:26
  There's a high fly to left field.
• 34:28
  Cardinals got it and folks think we're on fire.
• 34:34
  We're playing three down and we go to the bottom of the second one and a lot.
• 34:44
  Here's Bobby Robertson, didn't play in the first game at 296.
• 35:12
  The Mets 35 runs better than that.
• 35:24
  The Pirates now right in behind the New York Mets.
• 35:39
  The interesting thing to hear is the total amount of attendance here today is sent up by John Fitzpatrick, our traveling secretary.
• 35:47
  We know that it's a sellout and an ineffective standing room only.
• 35:52
  And such being the case, that standing room only, it's hard to tell how many people are actually here.
• 36:03
  There really is no aisle way in the upper deck or lower deck.
• 36:06
  They're just packed in there, pitches low for the ball, 1-0.
• 36:11
  And then in behind the lower deck, just packed in there.
• 36:16
  To witness the final two games at Wolfsfield, in which the Pirates won the first game, not a pitch.
• 36:24
  Now swinging by Robertson on the count of one and one.
• 36:37
  They're very deep in the outfield and a little bit around to the left.
• 36:43
  Pappas working the 1-1 pitch. Strikes the cue, slotted to the outside corner.
• 37:01
  One ball and two strikes.
• 37:03
  Milk Pappas to the right hander, kicks the livers. He's blowing away out of the dirt for the ball, 2-2.
• 37:10
  Jack Bland visiting, watching the ball game, and of course very much up to his ears.
• 37:16
  And the Arnold Palmer festivities for July 21 at the Hilton Hotel, which will benefit Daddy's scholarship.
• 37:22
  And the score of the poor ball at Lowell.
• 37:25
  Robertson hits a howling fight at Wolfsfield, and Billy Williams, man, comes jogging up 1-1.
• 37:35
  The Arnold Palmer get-together is open to the public on the 21st of July,
• 37:40
  and all the net proceeds will be going toward the benefit of Daddy's scholarship,
• 37:44
  sponsored by the AMM and the Western Pennsylvania Golf Association.
• 37:50
  If you'd like to come on at the dinner dance and see all the greats of golf and honor Honey Palmer,
• 37:56
  you can get your tickets to Jim Potts and the Western Pennsylvania Golf Association.
• 38:00
  Alley swings are misses, batting at 2-4-0 for Homer, the 13 runs batted in.
• 38:05
  Chino in the first game, 0-0 for 3.
• 38:11
  No balls in the strike, Pappas over the line up in the face.
• 38:14
  There's a fly ball felt and routed deep into right center, Chins, sunglasses down,
• 38:19
  quarters against the sun, 2-0.
• 38:22
  And the batter now will be Jerry May.
• 38:24
  Jerry walked in the first game with a base of rodent, and thus drove in what proved to be the winning run.
• 38:29
  And so he was received sudden for a game-winning hit, in a way.
• 38:34
  After all, he had a game-winning hit before or two, and bases on balls where the sack floated as an RBI.
• 38:45
  Jerry at 2-0-7.
• 38:49
  Biter on the corner for a strike.
• 38:51
  Minnesota beats the White Sox 9-1.
• 38:56
  A lot of double-headers today.
• 38:59
  No balls, one strike.
• 39:04
  Now the 0-1-1.
• 39:06
  Fly ball out into right center, Callison going over, drifting now, turning to his right and under for the out.
• 39:14
  Three up and three down, and at the end of two innings of play, the Pirates and the Cubs are tied at 1-1-1.
• 39:25
  When Atlantic Richfield Company discovered oil on the north slope of Alaska, the place we call the Arco Circle,
• 39:32
  it took 100,000 tons of supplies and equipment to get started.
• 39:37
  It took 100,000 tons of pipe, cement, drill, gravel, pot, glove, pipe, heater, tractor, ladder, radio, and orange juice.
• 39:48
  It took planes that carry 48,000 pounds and cost $4,000 a trip.
• 39:54
  It took 160 flights to set up one camp and five flights a day to keep it going.
• 40:01
  It took a specialist instructor's airstrip, Blue Storm.
• 40:05
  It took the biggest civilian airlift in history.
• 40:08
  At Atlantic Richfield, we went all the way to Alaska so we can provide your local Atlantic dealer
• 40:14
  with the finest Arco petroleum products for your car.
• 40:18
  The Pirates won the first game of the doubleheaders, 3-2, to extend their winning streak to six straights.
• 40:33
  At the same time, and at the Cubs, our ninth consecutive loss.
• 40:37
  Now at the end of two complete innings of the second game of the doubleheaders, the game is all tied at 1.
• 40:44
  As we go to the top of the third, Milpapas will lead it off.
• 40:48
  The first pitch from Nelson is outside for a ball.
• 40:50
  What a nutting.
• 40:52
  Nobody on and nobody out.
• 40:55
  Young right-hander delivers.
• 40:57
  Papas swings, broken back blooper.
• 41:00
  On the edge of the outfield grass, the shortstop makes the catch.
• 41:03
  Looking right into the brilliant sunshine, Galley slips those glasses from under the visor down very quickly
• 41:10
  and caught the ball.
• 41:12
  Out of the inning here is Don Kessinger.
• 41:14
  Kessinger led off the ball game with a base hit in the left field.
• 41:18
  He has scored the Chicago run.
• 41:21
  Kessinger in the first game went nothing for four.
• 41:24
  He has two hits now and nine trips to the plate in the series.
• 41:28
  He leads the Chicago Cubs in three base hits with seven.
• 41:34
  Kessinger the batter.
• 41:36
  Third baseman, Hebner, will play him up on the grass.
• 41:39
  Right side of the infield, playing about straight away.
• 41:41
  The outfield, however, playing for him to hit the ball late and in the left.
• 41:46
  Bomb ball is fouled over here to our left.
• 41:50
  One strike to Kessinger.
• 41:53
  Galley coaching at third base and Amal Patano at first.
• 41:57
  Bucks are set up defensively.
• 41:59
  Scarborough on left, DeLuin center, and Oliver in right.
• 42:04
  Forty thousand nine hundred and eighteen.
• 42:08
  Tenants here on a drive into light.
• 42:11
  Scoop by the scoop.
• 42:13
  Al Oliver on a fine play.
• 42:16
  He came charging in to catch that thinking smash off the bat of Kessinger.
• 42:22
  He scooped it right up into that big, snapper's bit of his for the second out of the inning.
• 42:28
  Two up and two down, and the batter now is Paul Popovich.
• 42:32
  The biggest crowd since 1956, looking on this afternoon.
• 42:39
  Second baseman, Paul Popovich.
• 42:41
  The batter now is Paul Popovich.
• 42:44
  Fitches a dry call.
• 42:48
  Here's the fellow who turned it all around for the Bucks last Monday night.
• 42:53
  Bomb ball is blowed to the left-hander batter.
• 42:55
  Ball one and strike one.
• 43:00
  Two out, nobody on, and the top of the third.
• 43:03
  Hubs to the out hits, the Bucks three to one, but the game is tied at one.
• 43:08
  And here's the one-one pitch.
• 43:11
  Aye, bomb ball.
• 43:13
  Beauty that time over the outside part of the plate.
• 43:16
  One ball and two strikes.
• 43:21
  Outfield straight away for Popovich, who did not play in the first game.
• 43:24
  Backed away from a breaking ball in close.
• 43:27
  Ball two, strike two, two out, and nobody on.
• 43:31
  Popovich batting at 263.
• 43:37
  Singled into right center field his first time up against Nelson.
• 43:41
  The 2-2 pitch backs him out of the batter's box in a hurry.
• 43:45
  Three and two.
• 43:46
  Nelson had a little zip to that pass law of his on that delivery.
• 43:52
  Nice meeting of the season between the two teams.
• 43:56
  The sky's at four.
• 44:02
  Nelson reads the signs.
• 44:04
  The 3-2 pitch, low into the dirt.
• 44:07
  Popovich crosses the bat away and hits short first.
• 44:10
  That's the first walk given up by Nelson in this ball game.
• 44:15
  Two out, Annie Oakley to Popovich.
• 44:17
  Here's Billy Williams.
• 44:21
  Williams singing in the center field in the first inning to drive in the Chicago Run,
• 44:26
  playing in his 1,052nd consecutive game.
• 44:36
  Nelson will work with the runner at first.
• 44:38
  Robertson will hold the inside corner against him.
• 44:41
  The pitch to Williams is outside for a ball.
• 44:43
  What a nothing.
• 44:55
  Runner leads it first.
• 44:56
  Nelson looks over the shoulder, draws the arms in.
• 44:59
  Here's the pitch.
• 45:00
  Oh, it's one on and hit into right.
• 45:03
  It's in the field to play as Oliver in the brilliant sun sun.
• 45:07
  All to the end to retire the sun.
• 45:10
  In the third, no runs, no hits, no errors, one walk, one man left on.
• 45:16
  We go to the home half of the third at Forbes Field in the second game of the doubleheader,
• 45:20
  and our game is tied at one.
• 45:23
  What would you think of a restaurant that guaranteed good service or your money back?
• 45:27
  You'd be ahead of the game either way, right?
• 45:30
  Well, that's pretty much what happens with Atlantic's Red Ball service.
• 45:35
  If your Red Ball service dealer doesn't clean your windshield
• 45:38
  or offer to check your oil, weather permitting,
• 45:41
  he will refund the price of your gasoline.
• 45:44
  Red Ball service is your Atlantic dealer's way of assuring you of good service
• 45:49
  so that if you are on a trip,
• 45:51
  you know you are going to get the same good service you get in your neighborhood.
• 45:55
  So you get the same service from a dealer who doesn't know you
• 45:59
  as you do from the guy who's known you for years.
• 46:02
  Now, the details may vary slightly from state to state,
• 46:06
  but the quality of Red Ball service never varies.
• 46:09
  If it does, you get your gasoline for free.
• 46:13
  Atlantic Red Ball service, you're ahead of the game whether you get it or not.
• 46:19
  The crowd now hearing the announcement from the D.A. announcer, Roger Kinnon,
• 46:36
  that the crowd at 40,918 is the fourth largest regular season crowd
• 46:40
  in the World Series as the fifth largest in the history of warm field.
• 46:45
  Here's Mazurowski. He played before them all.
• 46:48
  Bic is cut out of the mid-course right and it's nothing in one.
• 46:53
  One before the first game, Maz is one out of six on the series.
• 46:59
  Pappas blows in close for a ball, one and one.
• 47:03
  Sano at third, Kepinger the shortstop, Popovich at second with Hickman at first.
• 47:08
  Williams, James, and Callison around the infield.
• 47:11
  Martin gives the sign and Milpapas gets ready to go to work, one-one to the batter.
• 47:17
  That's a breaking ball outside, two balls and a strike.
• 47:21
  Frank Osiak coaching at third, Don Leppert at first.
• 47:28
  And he's raised that bat back and forth a couple of times, now holds it steady as Pappas works two-one.
• 47:34
  Ball is tap foul, two and two for Mazurowski.
• 47:40
  Nelson in the on-deck circle will be up next and then Mattie Allou in the hole.
• 47:46
  Cubs score to McCaw for the first, three consecutive hits,
• 47:50
  and Oliver tied it up with one swing of a bat in the home half of the first
• 47:55
  for his sixth home run of the season and his 32nd run battered in.
• 47:59
  Low for the ball.
• 48:01
  Swing runs out on Mazurowski, three and two.
• 48:06
  The crowd had a lot to cheer about in the first game and they're ready to let it all out here in this encounter.
• 48:15
  Here's the three-two pitch, swing and a foul that will come back on his three.
• 48:21
  Still three and two in the batter.
• 48:23
  Ball involved and strike for the second game and the final game in the history of Forbes Field, Margo.
• 48:30
  Behind the plate, Payer at first, Dello at second, Malik at third.
• 48:38
  Bill Pappas leans to the waist, picks up the sign, kicks and throws and Maz breaks out.
• 48:46
  One for the breaking ball that time, didn't get it.
• 48:48
  That's the first strikeout for Pappas.
• 48:50
  One out in the home half of the third and the batter is the pitcher, Jim Nelson.
• 48:58
  Nelson, two for six of the plate, batting 333.
• 49:03
  As the pitcher, he has won two and lost none.
• 49:07
  Fast ball pops in for a strike and it's nothing in one.
• 49:10
  Nelson chokes up a bit on the handle of the bat.
• 49:13
  Outfield looking at him for the first time.
• 49:16
  They're playing shallow toward right.
• 49:19
  Fast ball.
• 49:22
  Get a great cut of that one.
• 49:24
  No ball, two strikes.
• 49:30
  Steps out for a moment and then digs back in.
• 49:36
  Pappas works, oh, two to the batter.
• 49:39
  Ball is hit, plate to the right side and foul.
• 49:42
  Rolls just beyond the first base dugout.
• 49:46
  Connie Perez has just hit his 27th home run of the season for Cincinnati and the ninth inning, nobody on.
• 49:52
  3-2, Cincinnati.
• 49:57
  The game is being played in Houston.
• 50:03
  The strike, two pitch.
• 50:06
  A ball outside, he's done with a curve ball that time down around the knees.
• 50:11
  It's just missed, one ball, two strikes.
• 50:20
  Rhythmic applause beginning to generate now through the stadium as Nelson swings and misses.
• 50:26
  We start on strike as we pause for station identification along the Pittsburgh Pirate Radio Network.
• 50:35
  That is Jack Wheeler from midnight to 6 a.m. on HAA Pittsburgh.
• 50:51
  Two out, nobody on.
• 50:56
  He pops it up into short center.
• 50:59
  The short pass going out, center fielder coming on and the center fielder comes on to make the catch to retire the side.
• 51:06
  In the third, three up, three down, no runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left on.
• 51:11
  At the end of three innings of play in the second game of the doubleheaders, Chicago won, Pittsburgh won.
• 51:16
  Hey there, you've came for a quiz? Well, then listen carefully because the question won't be repeated.
• 51:23
  What does ARCO stand for? Now that's spelled A-R-C-O.
• 51:29
  Here are a few hints. And hit number one would be this.
• 51:32
  Many of you recently received a credit card with the name ARCO on top.
• 51:36
  It replaced your Atlantic card.
• 51:39
  Number two, the ARCO card is honored by Hertz, Ramada, and Treadway Inn, Hyatt House Hotels, Hyatt Lodges,
• 51:46
  Tava Lodge Motels, Friendship Inn, Emmons Walker Inn, and Superior Motel.
• 51:52
  Well, the time's up.
• 51:54
  Anyone who figured out that ARCO stands for the petroleum products of the Atlantic Richfield Company gets an A.
• 52:00
  You see, when the Atlantic Richfield Company was formed, it made sense to have one national credit card
• 52:05
  good at thousands of service stations coast to coast.
• 52:08
  The name selected for the card was ARCO.
• 52:10
  And if you'd like to carry on applications, they're waiting for you at all Atlantic stations.
• 52:14
  If there are no more questions, then class is dismissed.
• 52:18
  The first three innings were brought to you by Atlantic Richfield Company and your local Atlantic dealers.
• 52:34
  These next three innings are brought to you by Iron City Beer.
• 52:38
  Have an Iron City right now.
• 52:40
  The batter is Hickman here on the top of the fourth inning.
• 52:44
  Pitch is a strike, Saul.
• 52:47
  That was a fastball, Neha.
• 52:49
  Outfield is shaded toward left and left center.
• 52:52
  The gap is in right center field and down the right field line.
• 52:58
  Fling and a foul back.
• 53:17
  Nelson picks up the sign from catcher Jerry May.
• 53:20
  The pitch to Hickman.
• 53:22
  It's outside off the corner.
• 53:29
  The count on Hickman, ball two and strike two.
• 53:39
  Nelson very deliberate.
• 53:41
  Deliberate.
• 53:42
  The ball is thrown on, broken back five ball into right, fell out center field.
• 53:46
  And Alou has to angle away, turn his left shoulder into the bright sun and then sort of kept it going away.
• 53:56
  One out.
• 53:57
  The batter will be Ryan Sano.
• 53:59
  Sano popped to the shortstop in the first inning.
• 54:02
  He has nothing but one against Nelson.
• 54:05
  He has one hit and eight trips to the plate in this series after being shut out in three drives in the first game.
• 54:15
  Fling and a miss.
• 54:17
  Nelson gave him a fastball.
• 54:18
  Nothing in one.
• 54:20
  California has edge cancer city two to one.
• 54:23
  Murphy the winner, Rooker the loser.
• 54:28
  The pitch to Sano.
• 54:30
  Fastball is low.
• 54:31
  Ball one and strike one.
• 54:34
  Light breeze now blowing the American flag out toward right center.
• 54:40
  Coming across the scoreboard and now toward the seats, all the folks scammed in the double deck right field area.
• 54:47
  Swing and a foul out of the screen.
• 54:50
  One ball and two strikes.
• 54:55
  Home plate umpire looking over that baseball and he'll throw it out of the game.
• 55:00
  A new one has gone to the mound.
• 55:06
  Up to 21 and 16 at home, 14-17 on the road for a 35-33 record.
• 55:13
  Foul ball followed away to the right side.
• 55:16
  Ball is into the third deck and will give that fan an error because it dropped all the way down below.
• 55:23
  Still one and two on the batter.
• 55:32
  Sano digging in and waiting.
• 55:37
  Delfin kicks and throws.
• 55:39
  Curve is low.
• 55:40
  Two and two.
• 55:42
  One out, nobody on as the Cubs bat into fourth inning and the game is tied at one.
• 55:53
  The two-two pitch.
• 55:55
  Curve way outside.
• 55:57
  May have a flight out in a hurry that time.
• 56:00
  Nobody on so there's no damage done.
• 56:03
  Full count of three and two.
• 56:08
  With two out in the third inning, Nelson walked his first and only batter thus far in the ball game.
• 56:14
  He gave a walk to Popovich on a three-two pitch.
• 56:17
  Now for the second time he has gone three-two on a Chicago batter.
• 56:25
  Delivers, the ball is hung on, hits towards right. Going back is Oliver.
• 56:30
  Still back-tapping, he's there.
• 56:32
  He made a plenty-time test right in front of his body about fell high after he got to the warning track.
• 56:40
  Two ups and two downs.
• 56:42
  The batter will be Johnny Callison.
• 56:44
  Oliver gives him the press and he's starting to like playing the outfield.
• 56:48
  He's a great player.
• 56:49
  That was just kind of rookie.
• 56:51
  He doesn't have that feeling because he seemed to be a little more freer when he was playing out in left field too.
• 56:58
  Callison struck out in the second inning.
• 57:02
  Nelson has been one strike out and it was against this left-handed batter.
• 57:07
  He's outside a little high and off the corner for a ball.
• 57:10
  What a nothing.
• 57:13
  Montreal defeated New York three-two, St. Louis down Philadelphia five-to-four.
• 57:20
  The pitch.
• 57:21
  Wing of the mayor.
• 57:23
  That's a fastball right up around his shoulders that time.
• 57:26
  He didn't get it.
• 57:29
  Bucks won the first game three-to-two.
• 57:34
  Picked up a full game now that New York has lost.
• 57:39
  Wing of the mayor.
• 57:41
  One ball and two strikes to the batter.
• 57:47
  Callison would shut out in three tries in the first game.
• 57:50
  He's now 1-4-8 against pirate pitching in this series, which started yesterday afternoon with a pirate victory.
• 57:58
  This is low.
• 57:59
  Ball doing strike two on Callison.
• 58:07
  Bucks have won six in a row, four in the Cardinals, and yesterday in the first game this afternoon from Chicago.
• 58:14
  Fastball is way over the batter's head, and he has gone to three-and-two now to Callison.
• 58:21
  On a three-two pitch to Sennel.
• 58:24
  Sennel hit a fly ball caught by Oliver and Wright.
• 58:28
  Now the three-two pitch to Callison.
• 58:31
  He takes ball four in close.
• 58:33
  Second walk issued in the ball game by Nelson, and it brings up Cleo J.
• 58:40
  Two for three in the front game. Fly to the left fielder. It's his first time around against Nelson.
• 58:52
  Boston defeated New York 5-3 in the American League.
• 58:57
  Minnesota 9, Chicago 1, California 2, Kansas City 1, as we mentioned.
• 59:05
  And he will be working with the runner at first.
• 59:10
  Callison takes a short lead. Robertson holding the inside corner against him.
• 59:16
  Set by Jimmy.
• 59:18
  And the pitch.
• 59:19
  Low for a ball. What a nothing.
• 59:24
  Gargoyne straightaway left field. Allou has moved way over to his right or toward left center field.
• 59:31
  There's a tremendous gap over second base in the straightaway center and in the right center field.
• 59:37
  Oliver all alone out there and Wright.
• 59:40
  It's a set by Nelson to pitch.
• 59:43
  Breaking ball off the corner.
• 59:47
  Ball two with no strike.
• 1:00:02
  Nelson looks over the left fielder as the runner takes a short lead.
• 1:00:05
  He stays the ball, whiff, foul through the third base coaching box off the railing and in the fair territory.
• 1:00:12
  Time will be held up while Starjo gets the ball. He flicks it into the Chicago bullpen down the left field line.
• 1:00:19
  Two balls and a strike to Clio James.
• 1:00:28
  Big series beginning tomorrow night in New York between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Mets.
• 1:00:35
  Monday night, Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon.
• 1:00:38
  St. Louis the runner is back.
• 1:00:42
  Thursday will be an open day and the next weekend in Chicago and on to Philadelphia.
• 1:00:47
  Poking out before the all-star break in St. Louis.
• 1:00:51
  Pitch is hit.
• 1:00:54
  Right after batter he ducked underneath and turned his head and hit him on his batting helmet and he is all right.
• 1:01:01
  He'll go to first.
• 1:01:05
  He doesn't seem to get away from that delivery at all.
• 1:01:08
  So now we have Johnny Callison in scoring position at second.
• 1:01:12
  Clio James in on the batting helmet.
• 1:01:15
  The runner at first. Two men on, two out.
• 1:01:18
  May has called time and he has gone to the mound to talk to Nelson.
• 1:01:27
  Outfield will play straight away for J.C. Martin making his first appearance in the series.
• 1:01:34
  Looking at 1.49, one home run, four runs batted in.
• 1:01:38
  Hyatt has been catching of the series yesterday afternoon in the first game of the doubleheader today.
• 1:01:47
  Orlando Pena walking around in the pirate bullpen.
• 1:01:51
  Ricketts the catcher also loosening up and believe Joe Gibbon will go to work.
• 1:02:01
  Here he is, Joe Gibbon loosening up for Pittsburgh.
• 1:02:05
  Pitch from Nelson is outside for a ball.
• 1:02:08
  What a nothing.
• 1:02:09
  Fans are getting a bit anxious now and time has been called as the pitching coach, Don Osborne,
• 1:02:15
  will go to the mound to talk to the young right-hander.
• 1:02:22
  Now it's the first time that he has been in a situation like that since he has been called up from Columbus.
• 1:02:28
  He hasn't been able to throw strikes and that was the thing that has really pleased Danny Murtaugh.
• 1:02:33
  And of course Osborne too, but the ability to stay out in front of the hitters and struggling with control.
• 1:02:38
  You're going to run into those kind of games.
• 1:02:40
  You don't pitch shutouts every time.
• 1:02:42
  He's going to find that out himself.
• 1:02:45
  Right now it's a one-one ball game with the Cubs batting in the top of the fourth.
• 1:02:49
  The first two men were retired, Hickman and Sandlin, and Awoshek Callison and James was hit by a pitch.
• 1:02:55
  Runners lead it first and second time about to be resumed.
• 1:03:00
  J.C. Martin waiting on a one-hole pitch.
• 1:03:03
  Here it comes.
• 1:03:04
  It's low into the dirt.
• 1:03:06
  Two balls, no strikes.
• 1:03:12
  In the first game, Moose started, then Jussie, and then Walker.
• 1:03:17
  Now Joe Gibbon began to loosen up.
• 1:03:22
  A big step by Nelson and a pitch.
• 1:03:25
  Fast ball is high and outside.
• 1:03:29
  Three balls, no strikes.
• 1:03:31
  Another wide one would load him up and then bring up the pitcher, Milt Packard.
• 1:03:35
  Down through the years, as I remember Milt from Baltimore, the American League, he has an excellent hitting pitcher.
• 1:03:47
  He's been around in the Major League Baseball for some 14 seasons now.
• 1:03:52
  There's a strike called and it's three and one.
• 1:03:58
  He was involved in a trade between Baltimore and Cincinnati.
• 1:04:01
  He was going to Cincinnati and Frank Robinson going from the Reds to the Baltimore Orioles.
• 1:04:08
  Runners lead it first and second.
• 1:04:10
  The pitch, swinging around ball foul.
• 1:04:14
  Something we'll have to give now, a runner at first, a runner at second.
• 1:04:18
  There are two outs and ball free.
• 1:04:21
  Strike two count to the left hand of hitting J.C. Martin.
• 1:04:29
  Time held up momentarily as that ball came off the wall, rolled out into the playing area, retrieved by Luke Walker.
• 1:04:35
  So Nelson goes to the back part of the mound, goes to the rousin sack, squeezes it a couple of times.
• 1:04:41
  Now steps back atop the pitching rubber.
• 1:04:44
  Runners lead it first and second.
• 1:04:47
  J.C. Martin waiting on a ball free.
• 1:04:50
  Strike two pitch.
• 1:04:51
  To look to second.
• 1:04:52
  Here's the pitch.
• 1:04:53
  The runner's go.
• 1:04:54
  He almost threw it away.
• 1:04:56
  That ball was high and away.
• 1:04:59
  Jerry May was lucky to even get it.
• 1:05:02
  The bases are loaded.
• 1:05:04
  Callison at third, Cleo James at second, J.C. Martin on a 3-2 pitch is at first and the batter is Milt Pappas.
• 1:05:23
  Pappas just acquired from Atlanta steps in.
• 1:05:26
  The game is tied at one.
• 1:05:27
  Runners lead it first, second and third.
• 1:05:30
  Nelson has the windup restored and he will use the windup.
• 1:05:34
  Coming down the line, a good distance is Callison.
• 1:05:40
  Swing and a miss.
• 1:05:44
  Callison, veteran performer, figuring that maybe by darting toward the plate and putting on the brakes and heading back toward third,
• 1:05:52
  he could force Nelson into committing a bop.
• 1:05:55
  This fellow has a lot of foils.
• 1:05:57
  Now he steps off the pitching rubber and looks over there and Callison goes back.
• 1:06:01
  You probably get the message that this kid has a lot of know-how.
• 1:06:05
  A fly ball in the center.
• 1:06:06
  Should end the inning without any trouble.
• 1:06:08
  Allou is coming in.
• 1:06:09
  He's got it.
• 1:06:10
  And it retires the side.
• 1:06:13
  Nelson gets out of a tough spot in the fourth inning.
• 1:06:17
  No runs, no hits, no errors.
• 1:06:20
  And Freeman left on the bases.
• 1:06:23
  And we go to the last half of the fourth inning, the game is tied at one.
• 1:06:27
  I'd like a few words with you Bucs fans about the fine art of beer drinking.
• 1:06:31
  Not just any beer drinking.
• 1:06:33
  I'm talking about good beer drinking.
• 1:06:36
  That's Iron City beer drinking.
• 1:06:38
  You know, some people insist that all beers taste the same.
• 1:06:42
  If you're Iron City beer drinkers, then I know it's different.
• 1:06:44
  Because that Iron City taste is different.
• 1:06:47
  You can tell by looking at Iron City's rich amber color.
• 1:06:51
  Iron City delivers your kind of taste.
• 1:06:53
  Bold and refreshing, cold and alive.
• 1:06:56
  Just ask any Iron City drinker.
• 1:06:58
  He'll tell you that Iron City's taste stays alive.
• 1:07:01
  Glass after glass, bottle after bottle, can after can.
• 1:07:06
  That's why Iron City is the number one beer in Pittsburgh.
• 1:07:10
  Outselling all other beers combined.
• 1:07:13
  So the next time your thirst comes up, wet it down with Iron City.
• 1:07:18
  Once you get there, you'll never want to leave.
• 1:07:22
  In the last of the fourth inning, Hemner, Oliver, and Starjo will be the first three men to go against Mill Pappas.
• 1:07:39
  You haven't heard, you've just eye-on a cross.
• 1:07:42
  The Pirates won the first game, 3-2.
• 1:07:47
  And tied in this game at one.
• 1:07:50
  Here is Hemner, and the folks that like to get something started now, that would make applause.
• 1:07:56
  40,000 plus.
• 1:07:58
  There's the foul, back to the stream.
• 1:08:01
  One strike on Hemner.
• 1:08:03
  Hemner fly to the center fielder in the first inning.
• 1:08:06
  He had one for three in the first game.
• 1:08:09
  And three out of eight now against Cubs pitching in the series.
• 1:08:13
  For the year, Richie is hitting at 3-0-9.
• 1:08:16
  He leads the game in doubles with 16.
• 1:08:19
  The strike one-fifth.
• 1:08:21
  Herb bends in a little close to the left-hander batter.
• 1:08:25
  Ball one and strike one.
• 1:08:27
  Cincinnati has defeated Houston 3-2.
• 1:08:29
  The difference in the ball game for Rez is 27 to home run of the season.
• 1:08:34
  He leads the major leagues in home run.
• 1:08:37
  Dangup is popped into the air down the third base line.
• 1:08:40
  Coming down the line is Sano, and he makes the catch.
• 1:08:42
  One out.
• 1:08:45
  It will bring up Oliver.
• 1:08:48
  Oliver ties the game in the home half of the first inning with his sixth home run of the season.
• 1:08:54
  And his 30 seconds runs out of hand.
• 1:08:59
  Oliver now with two hits and eight trips to the plate in the series.
• 1:09:03
  Left-hander batter batting 2-40, 2-50 for the year, 2-5-0.
• 1:09:09
  Ooh, he is able to get away from the pitch that backed him off the plate after stepping up to the delivery in a hurry.
• 1:09:19
  He moved into the pitch and was real lucky to get out of there.
• 1:09:25
  He's still out of the batter's box, leaning on the bat and tapping off the skin part of the mound, walking to the grass, roughing up the baseball.
• 1:09:36
  Out the other round towards right and right center.
• 1:09:41
  The pitch to Oliver, swing and a foul off to the left.
• 1:09:45
  Foul was in on his hands that time.
• 1:09:49
  I don't imagine, Billy, that he'll see anything outside from Pappas for the rest of the afternoon.
• 1:09:55
  I don't know. He's been pitch-tight before, and a lot of guys try to brush him off the plate.
• 1:10:00
  He doesn't back up on anybody. He's very aggressive, isn't he?
• 1:10:05
  Pappas works, and it's outside for a ball, 2-1.
• 1:10:11
  If it had hurt, it may have been a retaliation shot.
• 1:10:14
  Cleo James got hit. Most things have been known to happen in baseball games before.
• 1:10:19
  Yes, the pitch, swing and a foul over near the left and out of play.
• 1:10:25
  Ball two, strike two to the batter, Al Oliver, one hour nobody on in the last half of the fourth inning.
• 1:10:44
  Oliver waiting on a 2-2 pitch.
• 1:10:47
  Pappas blinds and delivers, swing and a foul back to the screen. It's still 2-2 on the batter.
• 1:11:11
  Pappas picks up the side, the right hander delivers, swing and a foul tipped.
• 1:11:17
  It was down around the knee, sinking away at that time, and Oliver was able to get just a piece of it.
• 1:11:22
  Still, ball two and strike two.
• 1:11:24
  Willie Starjo in the on-deck circle to the right will be up next.
• 1:11:30
  And in a final, Cleveland over Detroit, 8-2.
• 1:11:34
  McDowell won his eleventh ball game against four defeats and these from Pittsburgh.
• 1:11:40
  A kill for the loser, 4-5.
• 1:11:43
  Ball is full foul into the feet, just at the top of the first base dugout.
• 1:11:48
  Still 2-2 on the batter.
• 1:11:52
  40,918 looking on this afternoon.
• 1:11:59
  Fourth-largest foul during a regular season, fifth-largest if you count the World Series.
• 1:12:09
  Pappas strikes 2-2 to the batter, pops it up into left.
• 1:12:13
  Coming hard is Williams, Sano, and Kessinger going out.
• 1:12:16
  Kessinger, the shortstop, cuts across and makes the catch.
• 1:12:20
  2-2 down in the last half of the fourth inning of the batter.
• 1:12:23
  Now is Willie Starjo.
• 1:12:26
  St. Will is way overdue.
• 1:12:29
  He leads the team in all runs with 14.
• 1:12:31
  He has 37 runs added in.
• 1:12:34
  He's right to the left field area in the first inning.
• 1:12:38
  He's looking for his first hit in this period.
• 1:12:46
  Strikes to the big wheel, nothing in one.
• 1:12:56
  Outfield around toward right and very deep, the pitch.
• 1:13:01
  He's headed to the outside corner, didn't get it. Ball one and strike one.
• 1:13:08
  In winning six in a row, the Bucks are four over 500 now.
• 1:13:13
  They've won 39 and lost 35.
• 1:13:15
  They've won more games in the Eastern Division than any other team.
• 1:13:19
  The 1-1 pitch, wing in the middle.
• 1:13:22
  Outside about a letter high.
• 1:13:24
  One ball, two strikes to Starjo.
• 1:13:34
  Willie digs back in.
• 1:13:35
  Pappas reads the sign, kicks and throws one-two to the batter.
• 1:13:39
  Let up and he strikes him out on a called strike.
• 1:13:43
  Third strikeout for Pappas.
• 1:13:45
  Team's tough on him completely that time in the inning.
• 1:13:47
  Three up, three down, no runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left on.
• 1:13:51
  Through four innings of the second game of the doubleheader, Chicago won, Pittsburgh won.
• 1:13:57
  You know, I heard of an interesting thing that happened in a tavern the other night.
• 1:14:01
  An Iron City drinker said he could taste the difference between Iron City beer and any other brand.
• 1:14:07
  Well, his friend said that it just couldn't be done.
• 1:14:10
  So they covered his eyes and he put three glasses on the table.
• 1:14:14
  Then they poured a little trick on him and filled all three glasses with Iron City beer.
• 1:14:19
  And you know what? They didn't pull the wool over his taste.
• 1:14:22
  He said all three were Iron City.
• 1:14:25
  Really knew his iron, huh?
• 1:14:27
  But most Iron City drinkers do.
• 1:14:29
  They can recognize that bold, cold taste anywhere, anytime.
• 1:14:33
  Because Iron City drinkers expect a lot of taste from a beer.
• 1:14:37
  And Iron City delivers it, glass after glass after glass.
• 1:14:42
  Iron City delivers a taste a guy can really sink his first into.
• 1:14:46
  Find out what good beer taste is all about.
• 1:14:49
  Taste Iron City.
• 1:14:51
  Hey, once you get there, you'll never want to leave.
• 1:14:58
  Second game of the doubleheader, the final game at Forbes Field, 61-year history.
• 1:15:02
  In the 5-20-and-a-punch game of the doubleheader, 3-2, we tied 1-1 into the top of the third.
• 1:15:08
  In the leadoff batter, Don Kessinger will step in for the third time in this game.
• 1:15:12
  He single and scored a very low run to the Cubs in the first inning
• 1:15:16
  and was robbed of a possible base hit in the third inning
• 1:15:19
  on a good grab by Al Oliver, shoestring catch in the third.
• 1:15:25
  Kessinger has made himself into a very fine Major League ballplayer.
• 1:15:29
  Always had the good defensive tools, but went to switch hitting
• 1:15:32
  and has become very effective from the left side.
• 1:15:35
  Proved it with a looping single in the center field, and he is 2 for 3.
• 1:15:40
  That's the first hit that Jim Nelson has given up since the first inning.
• 1:15:51
  Paul Popovich from neighboring West Virginia steps in.
• 1:15:55
  He's single in the first inning.
• 1:15:57
  He was out on the tail end of a disputed double play.
• 1:16:02
  He walked back in the third.
• 1:16:05
  Jimmy Sun taking in the final game at Forbes.
• 1:16:17
  On ball by Nelson is down low, ball one.
• 1:16:22
  Jimmy's only had one, one, two, three innings.
• 1:16:26
  That was back in the second.
• 1:16:28
  Callison, Jeames, and Martin went out to strike out and two fly balls to live.
• 1:16:33
  And as Rob likes to say, he's been counter running through the range ups here.
• 1:16:38
  Throw to Furrits, Kessinger back safely.
• 1:16:44
  Bobby Moose, Dave Justy, and Luke Walker in that order,
• 1:16:48
  and Walker with a great clutch performance nailed down the first win.
• 1:16:51
  Throw to Furrits and a good play by Robertson thrown behind the runner.
• 1:16:55
  Bobby had the backhand of the ball to prevent it from going into the box seat.
• 1:17:02
  The Cubs by nature are not a good running ball club.
• 1:17:05
  They don't have any abundance of speed.
• 1:17:09
  Ball chopped off the first base side if you want to curl foul.
• 1:17:15
  Now Kessinger's second will come back to first.
• 1:17:20
  Giants a couple of years ago, the kind of ball club that's very seldom did any running,
• 1:17:25
  but they picked them up some speed with Bobby Vons in the lineup now.
• 1:17:30
  There's a little bit of a change in there.
• 1:17:32
  The Cubs so far have had only 12 still invasions. Pirates have had 28.
• 1:17:48
  All up to shallow rest, Turgell coming on quickly,
• 1:17:51
  has time to get there and he's got it for the first pitch.
• 1:17:56
  One out. The score is tied 1-1. We're in the top of the fifth of the second game
• 1:18:02
  of a doubleheader at Forbes.
• 1:18:05
  The runner third, Kessinger, and the better, Billy Williams.
• 1:18:12
  Williams single drove in Kessinger with the first run.
• 1:18:16
  I want you to know, sir, I know how surprised you feel, Chancellor Wesley Posberg
• 1:18:19
  at the University of Pittsburgh. I said, what are you putting in here?
• 1:18:22
  He said, you're sitting in the middle of our law school right now,
• 1:18:24
  and you should like it.
• 1:18:29
  Rob should know all about law school.
• 1:18:34
  Billy Williams takes a pitch down low, one ball and on the scuff.
• 1:18:46
  Chancellor Wesley Posberg here to take in the final game.
• 1:18:50
  Of course, this is the property of the University of Pittsburgh,
• 1:18:53
  and this is going to be a law school, I understand.
• 1:18:56
  Starting this fall, they're going to do some construction.
• 1:19:00
  Fly ball, deep to left, going back at Sturgill, still going,
• 1:19:03
  and he's near the wall, he makes the grab, oh, he's got the ball.
• 1:19:06
  Holding his second, it catches him. He'll come to third, the long throw it is.
• 1:19:09
  Not in time, he flies ahead of the tag.
• 1:19:12
  Hebner arguing now with Barlich, and he's jaw to jaw with him.
• 1:19:15
  He said he came off the bag. Now Barlich is right on top of him.
• 1:19:20
  And Hebner is really fuming with Hal Barlich at third base.
• 1:19:26
  Sturgill had the ball in his glove, and as we mentioned before,
• 1:19:29
  this has become a very serious problem for outfielders right now,
• 1:19:32
  5'30 or close to it here.
• 1:19:35
  Alou had troubles earlier, and Sturgill at times caught the ball over his shoulder
• 1:19:39
  like a football player going for a touchdown.
• 1:19:41
  The ball bobbled out of his glove, he was about three or four feet from the wall,
• 1:19:45
  picked it up, hustled the throw to third base, and the strong throw almost got Kessinger.
• 1:19:50
  It's going to be over double.
• 1:19:52
  Kessinger goes to third base, Williams moves on to second base.
• 1:20:01
  The batter coming out is Jimmy Hickman.
• 1:20:04
  He's 0 for 2, but they're going to be gently walking him to take their shot with Roddy Sato.
• 1:20:11
  Sturgill had room, had the ball in his glove, but dropped it.
• 1:20:19
  The walk will be the fourth of the ballgames given up by Jimmy Nelson.
• 1:20:24
  This is the first intentional walk.
• 1:20:37
  And that will do it.
• 1:20:39
  It's a ball four.
• 1:20:41
  So they're loaded up, Hickman at first base, W. Williams at second,
• 1:20:44
  and Don Kessinger has moved it through.
• 1:20:48
  Ron Sato, who is 0 for 2 in this ballgame,
• 1:20:52
  flied to right field his last time up.
• 1:20:57
  Well, the Pits came back with some football last year to finish respectable under Carl DePasca.
• 1:21:04
  They're looking for good things in 70.
• 1:21:06
  They're here and we're hoping this is the start of something big for the Bucks right now.
• 1:21:12
  So let's watch this afternoon in Montreal 3-2.
• 1:21:17
  Here's a pitch to Sato off the frisk, fouled back out of play.
• 1:21:22
  Only one out, the Pirates are hoping for the strikeout here by Nelson,
• 1:21:26
  or possibly the ground ball double play.
• 1:21:31
  They're a whole lot of speed, Hickman at first base through Sato at the plate.
• 1:21:37
  But there's an awful lot of power at the plate, and Sato has only hit seven this year.
• 1:21:43
  Palm ball just in time.
• 1:21:45
  One ball, one strike.
• 1:21:47
  Rick Reikert has hit his ninth in the 12th with one on.
• 1:21:50
  Washington wins that ballgame in 12 innings, 4-3.
• 1:22:00
  Thinking positive for 6-4-3.
• 1:22:05
  Here's one-one. Changeup is just a little bit hot.
• 1:22:08
  Roy Sato just checked you off that bit.
• 1:22:12
  Almost into the letter. Two balls and a strike.
• 1:22:21
  A lot of people you haven't seen in a while, dropping ball to see this game.
• 1:22:24
  Chuck Boyle, former Canada, with KDKA, and now with NBC.
• 1:22:29
  Dropping ball is short, Alley on two hops, and Asuraki to go to first.
• 1:22:32
  It is in time for two.
• 1:22:35
  Nelson flickers out of it.
• 1:22:40
  A six to four to three double play.
• 1:22:42
  Look at the crowd.
• 1:22:54
  Fifth inning for Chicago, no runs, two hits.
• 1:22:57
  There is a stand up there.
• 1:22:59
  We go to the bottom of the fifth, it's still tied one-one.
• 1:23:03
  You know, one of the sweetest sounds a batter can hear is that sort of whack,
• 1:23:07
  that big crack of that ball in the back, right on the back part.
• 1:23:11
  When he hears that, he knows he's got a shot at sending it out of there all the way.
• 1:23:15
  Now, there's a sound that's music to a bird drinker's ears, too.
• 1:23:19
  The sound of an Iron City snap-top can.
• 1:23:22
  When you hear that pop, you know what's coming.
• 1:23:25
  Iron City's great beer taste.
• 1:23:27
  Each snap-top can packs 12 big ounces of bold, cold Iron City beer.
• 1:23:32
  Every sip of every can is alive with a taste you can really sink your thirst into.
• 1:23:37
  And those Iron City six-packs are pure convenience.
• 1:23:40
  They're quick to chill, easy to carry, mighty easy to store.
• 1:23:44
  So the next time your thirst comes up, crack open a cold can of Iron
• 1:23:48
  and try the taste that's made Iron City, Pittsburgh's number one beer.
• 1:23:53
  Iron City, hey, once you get there, you'll never want to leave.
• 1:23:59
  Forty thousand, nine hundred and eighteen, buzzing here at Forbes Field.
• 1:24:05
  The final game at Lady Forbes.
• 1:24:08
  We'll close it out today.
• 1:24:10
  And, boy, they sure enjoy a whale of a ball game in a second game,
• 1:24:13
  much like they did in the front.
• 1:24:15
  Pirates won the front game three to two.
• 1:24:18
  Six in a row, we won.
• 1:24:20
  The question leaves it off, curve ball by Pappas is outside, ball one.
• 1:24:29
  Fans try to get something started with some rhythmic applause.
• 1:24:35
  I don't think that a rooting cow doesn't help a ball club.
• 1:24:38
  One-oh-fix, lined in the hole, running it upfield.
• 1:24:41
  Big hit for Robertson.
• 1:24:43
  That's only the second hit off Mel Pappas.
• 1:24:45
  The other one left the ball park, as Bob described,
• 1:24:48
  a long run by Al Oliver with two down on the first.
• 1:24:53
  Pappas has been tough.
• 1:24:56
  Mixing the pitches effectively, slider, fastball,
• 1:25:00
  and a pitch we haven't seen as usual a lot.
• 1:25:04
  A change up to half a screwball type of thing.
• 1:25:11
  Gene Alley, who can do a lot of things with the bat.
• 1:25:15
  He's funning this time.
• 1:25:16
  He's going to hit the first base out.
• 1:25:18
  It's going to Turrell Fowl, picked up by Jimmy Hickman.
• 1:25:22
  You know, Alley was funning.
• 1:25:24
  He's had a look, however, at third base coach Frank Oceac.
• 1:25:29
  Bob Robertson, surprisingly, for his size, 200 pounds, just a little bit over,
• 1:25:35
  can pick him up and put him down pretty good.
• 1:25:39
  And Alley's ability to punch the ball to right field is something
• 1:25:42
  that I might be thinking about.
• 1:25:47
  Cubs are fighting that way in the outfield.
• 1:25:50
  Cleo James about 10 feet to right center.
• 1:25:53
  He's going to pitch his foul-tip, held by the catcher,
• 1:25:56
  throw to second, not in time.
• 1:25:58
  He's sealed it.
• 1:26:04
  The hit and run was on.
• 1:26:06
  Robertson beats the throw to second by J.C. Martin.
• 1:26:10
  It was a foul-tip, held by Martin, but he didn't get Robertson at second.
• 1:26:16
  Bobby, I'll surprise you.
• 1:26:18
  You'll recall, in a recent home stand, he went from first to third on a wild pitch.
• 1:26:26
  Now the go-ahead runner, second base, nobody out,
• 1:26:30
  bottom half of the fifth tie ball game 1-1.
• 1:26:33
  Alley now will try to get him to third.
• 1:26:35
  He's going to pitch a foul-tip, not held by Martin.
• 1:26:42
  Now the counter holds it, nothing in two.
• 1:26:46
  Bobby Ross will be in New York tomorrow, State Stadium.
• 1:26:51
  Gene was checking the water loss percentages, and that's now the loss at 5-35.
• 1:26:58
  We're going to win their second ball game.
• 1:27:00
  We'll be at 5-3-3.
• 1:27:04
  Here's the pitch.
• 1:27:05
  Off the fifth, hopped up on the first base side, giving chase to Hickman in foul territory,
• 1:27:11
  and he's got it.
• 1:27:12
  So Robertson forced a hole at second base.
• 1:27:14
  His alley hops out to the first base for Jim Hickman.
• 1:27:29
  Let's pause for station identification on the pilot baseball network.
• 1:27:35
  Covering all bases, a topic on the perspective, some of these 5-8 PM on KKT.
• 1:27:49
  Jerry May the batter takes the pitch by Pappas down low, ball one.
• 1:28:00
  Jerry May walks in the front ball game in the eighth inning with the bases loaded off Phil Regan,
• 1:28:06
  produced the winning run in that one, 3-2.
• 1:28:09
  Cups on this wide, he doesn't get it, even to count it, one ball and one strike.
• 1:28:16
  I tell you, Pappas has had excellent control in this one game.
• 1:28:21
  Has not walked anybody, and for the most part, has been out in front of everybody.
• 1:28:34
  Checked Robertson at second to fastball, put foul off the first base side.
• 1:28:38
  Hickman might have a play.
• 1:28:39
  Now he can't get to it, about five rows back and about three.
• 1:28:52
  People out early trying to get into fourth field this morning.
• 1:28:56
  Boy, that was a welcome sign.
• 1:29:00
  They're going to be late trying to get out, too.
• 1:29:03
  Take two, who gives?
• 1:29:05
  No place to go until seven o'clock tomorrow morning, I guess.
• 1:29:09
  That's the most time you ring in at the old time clock.
• 1:29:15
  Remember, I used to do that with Beth Linton and Steele,
• 1:29:18
  carry that lunch fail in the offseason.
• 1:29:23
  Seventy-five cents an hour, what do you say?
• 1:29:25
  Third ball, Jeff Smith is outside, count evens, two balls, two strikes.
• 1:29:31
  What are you, a riveter?
• 1:29:33
  Just a good old common ordinary lever.
• 1:29:36
  I used to shovel very well.
• 1:29:38
  I've been there, buddy.
• 1:29:39
  Every time you go by the lock in Rochester, remember,
• 1:29:41
  I lived under that like a sand dog all one summer with a jackhammer.
• 1:29:45
  Trying to burrow out of there and get up alive.
• 1:29:50
  Two-two pitch, checked off by Gary.
• 1:29:52
  Now he goes around, says the first base on fire, foul-of-fire.
• 1:29:56
  Tried to save the swing, couldn't do it.
• 1:30:00
  Today is the second victim, number four, and Bobby Robertson,
• 1:30:04
  who opened with a single, got the second on a steal, is still there.
• 1:30:08
  Pappas trying to pitch out of it.
• 1:30:10
  They will intentionally walk.
• 1:30:12
  Bill and Ezra, I'd like you to go to Jimmy Nelson.
• 1:30:17
  This is the first walk issued by Pappas.
• 1:30:21
  Scores around the National League, Houston was knocked off by Cincinnati.
• 1:30:26
  Tony Perez did his 27th and the 9th, 3-2.
• 1:30:30
  Wanting pitcher there was Clay Carroll, and released was Nolan.
• 1:30:34
  Wilson lost it.
• 1:30:36
  Los Angeles leads San Diego, 2-0 after 5-1-2, Roberts against Alan Foster.
• 1:30:42
  And in a complete ballgame up at Montreal, the one you're interested in,
• 1:30:46
  the New York Mets were knocked off, 3-2.
• 1:30:50
  Sadecki lost it.
• 1:30:51
  Carl Morton picked up the win.
• 1:30:54
  Marshall homers to New York, Baker and Staub, and Staub's home run,
• 1:30:58
  and he aces one on, one at home for Montreal, and gives the Bucks a chance to
• 1:31:04
  just finish two percentage points after the rage activity from first place in the Houston Division.
• 1:31:13
  Nams is the first, Roberts in the second.
• 1:31:16
  Check swing, it's fouled off the front foot of the pitcher, Jimmy Nelson,
• 1:31:21
  and the count's nothing in one.
• 1:31:23
  Nelson had a bad hitting pitcher by any means.
• 1:31:27
  Had a pretty good debut in the Major Leagues, and hasn't had too bad a performance after that either.
• 1:31:34
  Opened up with a strikeout of maize, got McCurdy in a double play, and then got up and banged a single.
• 1:31:46
  Said he wanted to be a short stopper to catch it, but he's become a pretty good pitcher.
• 1:31:49
  Chopper hits the third base weekly, Sado holds a short outgrowth, and it is in.
• 1:31:53
  How's John Kripke, hits the drop to the wall.
• 1:31:59
  There's safe all around.
• 1:32:01
  Robertson a third, and there's a second, and Nelson, safe a third on the air on Jimmy and Hidra.
• 1:32:09
  Boy, that was a big break for the Bucks.
• 1:32:11
  Sado, who were right there at the knees, but Hickman lost the ball, and the Pirates have him loaded up.
• 1:32:18
  Robertson a third, Bill Andrews, second, Jimmy Nelson a first, and the pesky guy, Mattie Elu at the plate.
• 1:32:28
  He's also two on this ball game.
• 1:32:32
  And he hits him four times and drops the foul.
• 1:32:35
  Happens, and we'll wind up the pitch to Mattie.
• 1:32:37
  Full foul off the first base shot out of play, strike one.
• 1:32:43
  Really, sometimes on that infield at this time of night throws off that left side of the dime,
• 1:32:48
  and you're throwing out of the scoreboard numbers and all those white shirts,
• 1:32:51
  and that guy's first base is looking for a ball out of a lot of white.
• 1:32:55
  It's very well happened, because the sun's starting to set down there,
• 1:32:58
  and it's reflecting off the box seats right back of Sado and where he was coming from.
• 1:33:06
  Come on, Mattie, your one pitch inside a good save by J.C. Martin, prevented a wild pitch.
• 1:33:12
  It's like a hard splatter.
• 1:33:15
  Martin made a great play to prevent a wild pitch on that one.
• 1:33:19
  He had to go way to his right.
• 1:33:20
  I don't know how Elu kept him getting hit.
• 1:33:23
  Now the count is even to the ball on the side.
• 1:33:26
  We're tied, one-one, but a base hit could end that very quickly.
• 1:33:32
  Two down.
• 1:33:34
  We'll wind up the one-one pitch.
• 1:33:36
  Down low, blocked by Martin, can't find it, but it stays right in front of the plate.
• 1:33:41
  Another good save by Martin.
• 1:33:47
  Two balls and a strike on Mattie Elu.
• 1:33:50
  Pirates took advantage of wildness in the front ball game to win that one as Phil Regan came on,
• 1:33:57
  dropped the base of Rodin, and then walked in the winning run with Jerry Mayer back.
• 1:34:08
  Elroy Fick, the greatest reliever in piracy in Navy Horde,
• 1:34:12
  made it to the big ball, dropped into the booth, viewing the final game.
• 1:34:16
  It's 4-2, one pitch, chopped in the hole.
• 1:34:20
  On to base hit.
• 1:34:21
  Robertson scores.
• 1:34:22
  Razorocky is coming to the point, the throw not in time.
• 1:34:26
  The ball goes to second, and the Pirates lead it 3-1.
• 1:34:55
  Now I want to win, but I have to feel sorry for Jim Hickman out there at first base.
• 1:35:02
  That guy is going through torches right now, Nelly.
• 1:35:06
  He sure is, but I'll tell you, if there's any reason why the Cubs have been in the spot they are,
• 1:35:11
  you've got to put it right on his shoulders.
• 1:35:13
  He's carried that ball quite often, to be honest.
• 1:35:16
  Hevner, first ball hitting, fouls it off the first base, and strike one.
• 1:35:22
  He's a guy that's made himself into a very fine hitter.
• 1:35:26
  He was not known for anything but striking out a lot and hitting the ground ball double plays.
• 1:35:31
  Last year he suddenly came alive, very good money player,
• 1:35:36
  came up with a very costly 11, an opponent that's taken advantage of it,
• 1:35:41
  and a big single by Matt Ealyard.
• 1:35:43
  3-1 we lead, it's down and going at all.
• 1:35:47
  3-1 changeup, moves outside on Ricky, turned over the fastball.
• 1:35:52
  One ball and one shot.
• 1:35:54
  It's been a very effective pitch for Kappes in this ball game.
• 1:36:03
  Now these two halves will be one-and-tally, but it doesn't matter.
• 1:36:07
  We have five on the right, it's going to curve foul.
• 1:36:12
  Ricky hit a shot right down the right field line, curve.
• 1:36:16
  Now ten feet to the right of the foul ball.
• 1:36:19
  Larry Gura, who worked in the front ball game, a left hitter,
• 1:36:23
  is up and popping down the Chicago bullpen.
• 1:36:39
  Jim Nelson at third base.
• 1:36:41
  Matt Ealyard second.
• 1:36:42
  Matt lead away to wind up the one-two pitch, five-ball left field,
• 1:36:46
  giving James Williams, hiding the sun, and near the scoreboard,
• 1:36:49
  he's got it, and a pretty well-eared ball on the opposite field by Ricky Evans.
• 1:36:55
  The Pirates take the lead, two runs on two hits, one error.
• 1:37:00
  We stand up there, and after five innings of play in the second and final game
• 1:37:05
  at Forbes Field, the Pirates now lead it 3-1.
• 1:37:09
  Most Pirate fans are beer fans, too, and just as they like a lot of action in the game,
• 1:37:15
  they like a lot of taste in a beer.
• 1:37:18
  That's why most Pirate fans ask for a cold iron when their thirsts come up,
• 1:37:23
  because thirst-quenching taste is what Iron City beer is all about,
• 1:37:28
  bold and cold and live every sip of the way, glass after glass, bottle after bottle.
• 1:37:34
  Iron City comes on with a taste you can really sink your thirst into,
• 1:37:39
  and that Iron City taste is fresh, because Iron City beer doesn't have to come
• 1:37:43
  a long way to get to your tavern or your distributor, and once it gets there,
• 1:37:48
  Iron City doesn't sit around.
• 1:37:50
  It sells, my friends.
• 1:37:51
  I mean, it sells.
• 1:37:53
  So every iron you drink is as fresh as can be.
• 1:37:57
  Next time your thirst comes up, let it down with Iron City.
• 1:38:01
  Hey, once you get there, you'll never want to leave.
• 1:38:05
  Well, let's see.
• 1:38:12
  Here in the Sixth, Chancellor Wesley Boswell just went to call Milly to say,
• 1:38:16
  I think I better stay for a while.
• 1:38:18
  I'll be a little late for dinner.
• 1:38:20
  And I said, well, I've got to be listening to the game.
• 1:38:25
  A fairly good group of cadets came out of West Point.
• 1:38:28
  Chancellor was there, a fellow named Bill Farr is a great athlete in gymnastics,
• 1:38:34
  and now our financial wizard around here, Roland Capinella,
• 1:38:38
  and there were three other fellows that were rather well-known, Blanchard, Davis, and Tucker.
• 1:38:46
  They never knew a losing season.
• 1:38:49
  All right, we have now Johnny Kellerson who's stuck out in the walk standing in.
• 1:39:09
  Jim Nelson leading three to one here in the top of the Sixth.
• 1:39:15
  He's got over 40,918 and nobody leaving.
• 1:39:19
  The early part of this game, Nelson Pombal, he might as well have put it on the shelf.
• 1:39:27
  Well, let's not throw it for strikes, just show it.
• 1:39:29
  But he was trying to throw it for strikes and it got him in trouble.
• 1:39:32
  Let's see if he can bring it back.
• 1:39:35
  He could run it through it for strike two.
• 1:39:38
  A lot of times a good pitch, which is that pitch right now, is a Pombal.
• 1:39:44
  But if it isn't coming for you, you just waste it and go to your other stuff,
• 1:39:49
  and then if it comes back, then you go to it.
• 1:39:53
  And Jerry May is the type of a catcher that will bring it back in there for him,
• 1:39:58
  if it's at all possible.
• 1:40:07
  The O2 pitch, there's the Pombal, pull down to Mazurowski.
• 1:40:11
  He'll have him on to Robertson.
• 1:40:17
  John Callison retired four to three.
• 1:40:19
  The batter now will be Cleo James.
• 1:40:21
  He'll line the left and with it five-pitch.
• 1:40:26
  Following this game, we'll have everything going for the fans here.
• 1:40:32
  And I know, of course, that nobody will get out of line
• 1:40:36
  because we're just going to have a few things given away.
• 1:40:38
  All the baseball caps have been autographed.
• 1:40:41
  They'll be awarded some 50 prizes, some of them, and bases and what have you.
• 1:40:47
  But this property here belongs to the University of Pittsburgh.
• 1:40:51
  And there's a strike.
• 1:40:53
  And Jehovah's Witnesses will be in here for a big contrast.
• 1:40:58
  That fine-order group will be in here, and then there'll be other things going on
• 1:41:02
  in the University of St. Louis.
• 1:41:05
  There's other plans, and ultimately, of course, this ballpark will be dismantled
• 1:41:11
  and School of Law and other schools involved in the university program
• 1:41:16
  will be in here in the next three to six years.
• 1:41:19
  No balls, two strikes here to Cleo James.
• 1:41:22
  There's a fastball outside all the way to the backstop.
• 1:41:30
  A warning down the left field line for the Cubs.
• 1:41:36
  A left-hander will pick him up in a moment right now.
• 1:41:39
  That's what they get in and go on.
• 1:41:41
  They want to be ready to hit for Pappas.
• 1:41:45
  Good.
• 1:41:47
  Strikeout.
• 1:41:52
  That's the second now.
• 1:41:53
  Here's J.T. Martin.
• 1:41:54
  He tried to left and he drew a war.
• 1:41:56
  The Pirates leading three to one, won the first game three to two.
• 1:42:01
  First game ever played here in this park, Chicago won it three to two in 1909,
• 1:42:06
  and Honus Wagner in that year set an all-time high for stolen bases in the World Series
• 1:42:12
  against the Detroit Tigers and Ticots.
• 1:42:18
  Foul back.
• 1:42:19
  The Pirates played in the first World Series, but not here.
• 1:42:25
  It was against Boston in 1903 in the first World Series ever played.
• 1:42:30
  My memory is they went nine games.
• 1:42:32
  That is, it was a nine-game series.
• 1:42:34
  I don't know how long it went, but they would have gone better than that.
• 1:42:38
  Here's the 0-1 to Martin.
• 1:42:40
  Foul ball off the sinker, 0-2.
• 1:42:45
  That would have been then exposition park for the games that were played here in Pittsburgh
• 1:42:50
  between the Boatsocks and the Pirates.
• 1:42:54
  Then Mr. Dreyfus built this ballpark and his son-in-law, Bill Benswanger,
• 1:43:02
  kept the rich prediction going.
• 1:43:04
  Bill wanted to be here today, but couldn't be,
• 1:43:09
  and he's one of the great pioneers in the game of baseball, Bill Benswanger.
• 1:43:15
  And he's not to be forgotten by all who were dear to baseball in this area.
• 1:43:20
  One ball, two strikes.
• 1:43:23
  Popped him up, and Ebener is looking for it.
• 1:43:26
  Now he's bird-dogging him behind him, and he'll take it.
• 1:43:29
  Now he takes it, so he's out of the side.
• 1:43:32
  Three up and three down, and we go down to the bottom of the sixth leading three to one.
• 1:43:37
  You know, it will be pretty hard to try and predict a pennant winner this season.
• 1:43:41
  I have to admit the St. Louis Cardinals look pretty good.
• 1:43:44
  Our own Bucks look even better.
• 1:43:46
  And, of course, there are the ever-amazing Mets.
• 1:43:50
  But I have to say this, too, when it comes to predicting a pennant winner,
• 1:43:54
  well, that's something else.
• 1:43:56
  But when it comes to predicting a pennant-winning beer, there isn't any contest at all.
• 1:44:01
  Everybody knows Iron City beer leads the league, been number one for a long, long time.
• 1:44:06
  And Iron City will stay on top, and there's a good reason why.
• 1:44:10
  Iron City's taste, bold and cold, alive every sip of the way,
• 1:44:16
  glass after golden glass, inning after inning.
• 1:44:19
  Iron City comes on with a taste you can really think you're thirsting to.
• 1:44:23
  So the next time your beer thirst comes up, whet it down with a winner.
• 1:44:28
  Try the taste of Pittsburgh's number one beer, Iron City.
• 1:44:33
  Hey, once you get there, you'll never want to lose.
• 1:44:43
  All right, ready now to move into the bottom of the sixth,
• 1:44:46
  and the first-inning for the
• 1:44:48
  U-6 Mother, who hit his sixth mom of the year,
• 1:44:51
  tie up the game back in the first inning, will be the lead-off batter.
• 1:44:55
  Men's star, Gooden, Bobby Robertson, against Milt Pappas.
• 1:44:59
  If we can take what you're hosting with doing in the sixth inning as an indication,
• 1:45:03
  this will be the last inning for Milt.
• 1:45:06
  Ready, we're warming.
• 1:45:10
  G-U-R-A.
• 1:45:17
  Way back she goes, and off the wall.
• 1:45:21
  Callison comes up firing, and it's a double standing up for Oliver.
• 1:45:26
  That's the fourth DDS, two of them for six baseman.
• 1:45:33
  And the batter now is going to be Willie Stuck, who's open to, by the left end,
• 1:45:39
  what's called an open end.
• 1:45:41
  Now Gooden getting up again.
• 1:45:45
  And Andy Gates is out of the picture for the second.
• 1:45:50
  Milt Pappas with one of the second in the hell out of it.
• 1:45:56
  Stargill drops a foul down to right field, and our bullpen,
• 1:46:03
  got it like a cubby of quail.
• 1:46:07
  You know, Bob, if this keeps up, Gooden may be on the ball game a little earlier
• 1:46:11
  than Lee would like to have him in there.
• 1:46:14
  Yeah, but he's going to try to get three out, if he can out of Pappas.
• 1:46:21
  You and I both know because he doesn't want to have to put him in
• 1:46:24
  and swing out another hitter.
• 1:46:27
  There's a dive hit very deep to center.
• 1:46:30
  James started in, now drifting back way out toward the monument.
• 1:46:34
  And he makes a strong throw, but Oliver is tagged and come over safely to third.
• 1:46:41
  That'll bring up Bobby Robinson, who's single,
• 1:46:51
  who leads the Buckeyes into a rally in the fifth inning.
• 1:46:55
  Wow, but two runs that score that anywhere unearned.
• 1:46:59
  Due to an error, it's about to nonetheless accept the loss.
• 1:47:13
  Now they bring the infield up, and Bobby taking a long look at Frank Osiak.
• 1:47:18
  They've switched off Gura to a right-hander.
• 1:47:26
  Bobby Rodriguez.
• 1:47:31
  I feel around the left infield is up.
• 1:47:33
  The pitch from Pappas and there's an error, and now left field line, way out of play.
• 1:47:43
  That's J.C. Martin, now quickly to say something to Milk.
• 1:48:02
  We don't want to make him the hard way, I'll tell you that.
• 1:48:13
  I think the back line on that's two and a half.
• 1:48:21
  But we're going to try to make it that way for them.
• 1:48:25
  If we won six in a row, they've lost nine in a row, and that's their season nine.
• 1:48:30
  Make no mistake about it though, Chicago is anything but out of this pinning race.
• 1:48:36
  Anybody has a blocked up.
• 1:48:40
  It's going to be a bubble job right now, that's very hidden.
• 1:48:43
  It's going to bubble your blood for you.
• 1:48:47
  When we come home to three others and we meet those Cincinnati Reds, wowee.
• 1:48:54
  Fichter-Robinson inside, I think I'd be getting my tickets for that one, 16th of July.
• 1:49:02
  When the 100 is going to remain open, you won't be able to get your tickets to three of them,
• 1:49:07
  you'll get them at the regular outlets.
• 1:49:09
  Remember that, ladies and gentlemen, don't write the three rivers, write the Forbes field.
• 1:49:14
  Come to when the 100, J.C. Murphy store, downtown ticket office, ticket shop, any of those outlets.
• 1:49:20
  One-one Fichter-Robinson ball inside.
• 1:49:24
  Come on, come on, come on.
• 1:49:43
  Two ball, then a strike.
• 1:49:46
  And a pitch.
• 1:49:48
  Well, his deeps were left.
• 1:49:50
  Williams coming up, the tag by Oliver, here's a strong high throw.
• 1:49:54
  Oliver scores.
• 1:50:06
  So it's four to one.
• 1:50:17
  Dave Say, a Pennsylvania winner in state college.
• 1:50:21
  I haven't said we may never lose another game for so long, it isn't even funny,
• 1:50:26
  but he seems to think I've been saying anything.
• 1:50:28
  Said it would win this one, he wants me to just shut your mouth.
• 1:50:31
  All right, David, you button up your typewriter and we'll be even.
• 1:50:40
  Alley up here, it's all for two.
• 1:50:43
  Ball inside, one and O.
• 1:50:45
  Have you heard me say we may never lose a game for how long is it been?
• 1:50:49
  I know, I first time I heard you say it, and I think the last this year was down in Clayton.
• 1:50:54
  That's right, I did it as a gag.
• 1:50:56
  I never heard you say it like that before.
• 1:50:58
  Ball inside, two and O.
• 1:51:07
  Well, I know Dave, he's a good writer, but he's right.
• 1:51:11
  We're not counting any chickens, we haven't been, it's lots of ways to go,
• 1:51:16
  but it's just great to be in the thick of things.
• 1:51:19
  Two O pitch now, Alley.
• 1:51:21
  High ball three, three and O.
• 1:51:27
  This game here is not over.
• 1:51:32
  But we know one thing, it's the last game that will be played here,
• 1:51:36
  and I can say we may never lose another game in this park,
• 1:51:39
  and we're right, three and O.
• 1:51:46
  I can't believe I can say that.
• 1:51:49
  Three balls and a strike.
• 1:51:52
  I feel it out of the right on Gene Alley.
• 1:51:54
  Happers into the wind at the three-one pitch,
• 1:51:56
  hunched it foul back up on the net.
• 1:52:07
  Oliver opened up with a double off the right field wall,
• 1:52:10
  schedule fly deep to center, and Oliver came over after the catch.
• 1:52:19
  And then Robertson scored him over a rope to deep left.
• 1:52:24
  Three-two pitch.
• 1:52:26
  High ball to right field, Jason Callison back, looking up in that murderous sun.
• 1:52:30
  Nice catch by John.
• 1:52:32
  Right on the wall on the warning truck out there.
• 1:52:35
  A run on one hit, no errors, and nobody left.
• 1:52:38
  At the end of sixth, the parks lead at four to one.
• 1:52:41
  We want to mention something here that shows how Iron City will go to any lengths
• 1:52:45
  to make you feel at home, all the way to Florida, in fact.
• 1:52:49
  Iron City beer has joined the Thunberg crowd on United Airlines' nonstop flights to Miami.
• 1:52:55
  When you're flying to and from Miami, ask your stewardess for a nice cold glass
• 1:53:00
  of Pittsburgh's number one beer, Iron City.
• 1:53:04
  It makes those friendly skies even friendlier.
• 1:53:08
  Iron City beer, the beer drinker's beer.
• 1:53:12
  Middle three innings are sent your way by Iron City beer.
• 1:53:35
  The nation's number one halftime is on the world's number one station,
• 1:53:54
  the Pittsburgh Lums.
• 1:54:07
  Glenn Beckard will bat for Pappas here, as the top of the seventh inning is about to get underway
• 1:54:12
  at Forbes Field before 40,918.
• 1:54:17
  In the first game of the doubleheader, Pittsburgh 3 in Chicago 2,
• 1:54:22
  as the Pirates extended their winning streak to six straights,
• 1:54:25
  and the Cubs losing streak to nine in a row.
• 1:54:28
  And now through six innings to play, the Bucs have four runs and four hits,
• 1:54:33
  and the Cubs one run and five hits.
• 1:54:36
  Beckard, the right-handed batter, setting out the second game of the doubleheader,
• 1:54:40
  takes the first pitch low for a ball.
• 1:54:42
  What a nutting.
• 1:54:43
  Beckard batting at 268.
• 1:54:47
  He has a couple of home runs, 18 runs battered in.
• 1:54:52
  Curve across, ball one and strike one.
• 1:54:56
  Larry Gura, who saw action in the first game of this doubleheader,
• 1:55:01
  continues to keep warming the bullpen down the line.
• 1:55:04
  That is a palm ball that fooled Beckard.
• 1:55:07
  Oh, he stepped to the front part of the box that time,
• 1:55:10
  and it was leaning and then tried to hold up, then leaned again,
• 1:55:13
  and about that time it was a little too late.
• 1:55:15
  Beautiful pitch. Here's a one-two delivery.
• 1:55:18
  Fastball to the outside.
• 1:55:20
  It's all the way back to the screen.
• 1:55:22
  Two and two on Glenn Beckard.
• 1:55:25
  John Kessinger in the on-deck circle to the left, and then Paul Popovich.
• 1:55:31
  Buck outfield playing straight away.
• 1:55:34
  Stargeo, Alou, and Oliver.
• 1:55:36
  Around the infield, Ebner, Alley, Maseroski, and Robertson.
• 1:55:40
  May catching and Nelson on the mound.
• 1:55:43
  He has won two and lost none since coming up from Columbus.
• 1:55:48
  Curve is bowled back onto the screen.
• 1:55:50
  It gets over the screen, so the folks down below have a lot of fun fighting for that souvenir.
• 1:55:57
  And remember, there will be a lot of souvenirs to be given away at the conclusion of this game.
• 1:56:04
  Here's the two-two pitch.
• 1:56:06
  It is lined to the shortstop, one out.
• 1:56:13
  We go to the top of the cup batting order, and the left-hander hitting John Kessinger.
• 1:56:19
  Singleton scored in the first inning, Clyde to right in the third, and Singleton in the fifth inning.
• 1:56:24
  In addition to this being the final game, this would be a wonderful 36th wedding anniversary for Jane and Tom Johnson.
• 1:56:32
  So congratulations to them, one of our proud owners, and such an investment of the baseball club,
• 1:56:38
  and it would be a great going away, not going away, going away from Forbes Field, but an anniversary present for Jane and Tom.
• 1:56:45
  And many happy years to come, too, to the Johnson family, as the pitch is outside for a ball, one or nothing.
• 1:56:52
  Kessinger, two out of three in this ball game.
• 1:56:55
  He was shut out in the first game, nothing before.
• 1:56:58
  So he is 3-4-11 in the series.
• 1:57:04
  Swing and a foul is hit.
• 1:57:25
  Here's the pitch, a little high for a ball.
• 1:57:33
  Kessinger the batter, a front-fist underway in Chicago, the second team of the doubleheaders.
• 1:57:40
  Wow, I'll tell you about it in a moment.
• 1:57:42
  There's a side call, two and two on the batter.
• 1:57:46
  Minnesota got four on the top of the first.
• 1:57:48
  Chicago came back with six on the last of the first.
• 1:57:54
  Four to one in favor of Pittsburgh here.
• 1:57:58
  Oh, he's hit down the left of the line.
• 1:58:00
  Coming hard to star Joe.
• 1:58:02
  He can't get it.
• 1:58:03
  Into the bullpen just out of his reach, still two and two on the batter.
• 1:58:09
  Joe Given, who was boosting up a couple of innings back in this ball game, is again ready should they need him.
• 1:58:17
  And Bruce Delcan, the right-hander, is now throwing also.
• 1:58:22
  Larry Gura, a left-hander in the bullpen, will the Chicago Cubs.
• 1:58:31
  He's been joined by Rodriguez.
• 1:58:38
  Here's the 2-2 delivery.
• 1:58:41
  Swing and a foul back. It's still two and two on the batter.
• 1:58:53
  One out and nobody on.
• 1:58:55
  Boy, the folks are having a great time here this afternoon.
• 1:59:00
  Nelson works 2-2 to the batter.
• 1:59:02
  Ground ball to the right side.
• 1:59:03
  Mazurocki to his left side comes up and it throws on the first at times.
• 1:59:07
  Kessinger is an ECL.
• 1:59:11
  Two up and two down in the top of the seventh inning and the batter will be the second baseman, Paul Popovich.
• 1:59:18
  San Francisco and Atlanta are tied at four through nine innings of play.
• 1:59:24
  The game is being played at candlestick.
• 1:59:32
  Popovich, singled in the right center field in the first inning, walked on a 3-2 pitch in the third and then slide to the left.
• 1:59:39
  So he's 1-2 against Nelson, the pitch.
• 1:59:44
  Outside, just off the corner for a ball. It's one and nothing.
• 1:59:52
  Just after six here in Pittsburgh.
• 1:59:56
  Swing and a high pop-up. May coming down the line. So is Hebner in foul territory.
• 2:00:02
  Richie stays with him, looking into that brilliant sunshine as he made a one-and-stab of the ball to retire to the side.
• 2:00:11
  Nothing across in the Chicago half of the seventh inning.
• 2:00:15
  The Bucks coming in to bat in the pitch half of inning number seven.
• 2:00:19
  The last time they'll do this tradition in this part, leading four to one.
• 2:00:25
  Start of listening in black and white. See what a difference a coat of Pittsburgh paint can make.
• 2:00:30
  What's going on?
• 2:00:32
  That spring willow green going on. That microphone, avocado.
• 2:00:36
  Shouldn't you be painting on color television?
• 2:00:39
  No, no. People at home keep horsing with the knobs until they've turned apricot into banana.
• 2:00:44
  So you're asking them to imagine your color?
• 2:00:47
  Until they can get into the Pittsburgh dealer and see for themselves, yes. Kill the rainbow.
• 2:00:52
  Rainbow on radio.
• 2:00:56
  Was that a colorful rainbow?
• 2:01:09
  Fantastic. Where can I see Pittsburgh paint in person?
• 2:01:13
  That man holding his hand over his ear will tell you.
• 2:01:17
  In Edna, your Pittsburgh paint stealer is Winchell Hardware, 346 Butler Street.
• 2:01:22
  And in East Liberty, there's a Pittsburgh paint center located at 1351 Washington Boulevard.
• 2:01:34
  Forty thousand nine hundred and eighteen looking on as the Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates do battle
• 2:01:43
  and a doubleheader at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh. The Cubs won the first game three to two over the Cubs.
• 2:01:52
  And we lead in this game four to one. And Nellie, we've got a new left-hander.
• 2:01:57
  And May will lead it off in the home half of the Saladini.
• 2:02:21
  The Cubs are beginning to settle back into their seats now. Left-hander ready to go to work.
• 2:02:27
  Curve ball picked up the outside corner. Started it way out wide that time.
• 2:02:32
  Broke it in on the corner at it is. Nothing in one to Jerry May.
• 2:02:36
  May has fly to the right the other and struck out in two trips against Pappas in this ballgame.
• 2:02:43
  Milled work the first six innings.
• 2:02:47
  There's a curve, a car. No balls to strike.
• 2:02:53
  Continuing to have action in the bullpen for Chicago.
• 2:02:58
  Jim Colburn now throwing.
• 2:03:03
  Ball got away from the bullpen catcher and the home plate umpire spotted it and called time.
• 2:03:10
  In the outfield for the Cubs in the second game, we're looking at William James and Calliphan
• 2:03:15
  with Sanno Kessinger-Papovich and Nickman on the inter-defense.
• 2:03:19
  Pitch in close to May. One ball and two strikes.
• 2:03:23
  Hyatt caught the game yesterday in the first game of the doubleheader.
• 2:03:26
  J.C. Martin working behind the plate this afternoon.
• 2:03:34
  Here's the one-two pitch. In close for a ball and it's two and two now.
• 2:03:43
  Now Zorowski in the on-deck circle to the right.
• 2:03:47
  Two up next and the third man up in the inning will be the pitcher, Jim Nelson.
• 2:03:57
  May waiting on the ball to strike to delivery.
• 2:04:00
  Here comes, he takes low for a ball.
• 2:04:03
  He's getting ahead of the right-hander better. No balls, two strikes. The string has run out.
• 2:04:14
  Home plate umpire Vargo looking over the left shoulder.
• 2:04:20
  May waiting on a three-two delivery. With a flick of the glove, Jury is shaken off the side.
• 2:04:25
  Now he comes back and strikes him out.
• 2:04:29
  That's Jury that time on a breaking pitch. Second time May has gone down via the strikeout route in this ball game.
• 2:04:37
  First strikeout for Larry Gura and it brings up Mazurowski.
• 2:04:43
  New York Yankees have knocked off Bonce at eight to two. Bonce is the winner.
• 2:04:48
  Bonce is the loser.
• 2:04:53
  May struck out and drawn an intentional walk. This is a strike call and it's nothing in one.
• 2:05:05
  The pitch.
• 2:05:07
  Ground ball, down the line. It's a fair ball.
• 2:05:10
  Heading toward the bullpen. Mazur's going to drive for two.
• 2:05:13
  He cuts the inside corner of the bag and he'll go into second standing up with a double.
• 2:05:21
  Maz has doubled down the line.
• 2:05:25
  Runner in score position, one out and it brings up the pitchers in delta.
• 2:05:31
  It's a ground ball between third base and the third baseman's saddle.
• 2:05:38
  That is the third extra base hit of the ball game.
• 2:05:42
  Oliver had the other two, a home run and a double.
• 2:05:45
  And now Maz has doubled off the left-hander, Jura.
• 2:05:50
  Hits are even at five for each club with the Bucs lead in the payoff department,
• 2:05:55
  four to one after winning the first game, three to two.
• 2:06:04
  And remember after this ball game,
• 2:06:07
  the other club will go on the road and tangle with the New York Smith,
• 2:06:11
  beginning a three-game series tomorrow night at Shea Stadium in New York.
• 2:06:18
  In the second, the pitch, curve low into the dirt.
• 2:06:22
  Ball one, no strikes.
• 2:06:28
  Aubrey continues to throw in the bullpen.
• 2:06:30
  The bullpen catcher is wearing a mask.
• 2:06:37
  No activity in the pirate bullpen.
• 2:06:40
  Jim Nelson waiting on a ball one, no strike pitch.
• 2:06:43
  The hook to second, here it comes.
• 2:06:45
  The ball outside, two and two.
• 2:06:51
  Frank Osiyak looking in to Nelson,
• 2:06:53
  and Nelson steps out of the batter's box for a moment to be sure that he has the time correct.
• 2:07:00
  Checked again, now steps in.
• 2:07:03
  John Leppard coaching it first.
• 2:07:06
  Shables are beginning to lengthen here at the stadium, reaching the home plate area now.
• 2:07:12
  The last ball is over from the left-hander, two balls and a strike.
• 2:07:18
  Bucks scored a run in the first, two in the fifth, and one in the sixth.
• 2:07:23
  For four, the Chicago Cubs scored a run on three consecutive hits to get the ball game underway.
• 2:07:30
  And then Nelson and the Pirates have been in command.
• 2:07:37
  A two-one pitch, swing and a foul. The ball will get back into the seats over here to the right.
• 2:07:49
  San Francisco winning their ball game on a home run by Gallagher,
• 2:07:53
  in second of the year in the 10th inning with one man on.
• 2:07:56
  Jim Mudcat ran, that's right, so he's not too with San Francisco.
• 2:08:05
  San Francisco wins six-four.
• 2:08:10
  There's a ground ball to the right side. It will get the runner on to third.
• 2:08:13
  Becker backs up, gets on the short hop and throws on to first.
• 2:08:18
  And Maserowski goes to third, play going four-three.
• 2:08:28
  Here is Allou in a final base camp on Matteo Allou,
• 2:08:33
  who is a face-off loaded, singled in the right field in the fifth inning to drive in a couple of runs.
• 2:08:43
  Since then, the Bucks have added another run.
• 2:08:48
  Allou with one-four-three in the ball game, now three out of 11 in the series.
• 2:08:56
  He has 88 hits, he leads the Bucks in that department, and now has 27 runs batted in.
• 2:09:02
  He's quite a bit on the handle to bat.
• 2:09:04
  Oh, there's a ball behind him now.
• 2:09:08
  That ball slipped from the left-hander's giraffe, and it went behind Matty,
• 2:09:14
  and a catcher, Martin, had it move quickly to the right to get to that ball.
• 2:09:20
  Ball one, no strike.
• 2:09:24
  The left-hander is fixed.
• 2:09:27
  Oh, into the dirt. Allou was ready to offer it, and I don't know whether he went around or not.
• 2:09:33
  He did.
• 2:09:34
  Oh, tipped the ball. He got down on it.
• 2:09:37
  Just like getting it off a golf tee that time, then tried to check up on it.
• 2:09:41
  Loop just sling back.
• 2:09:44
  Tipped the ball. It drew it one-and-one on Allou.
• 2:09:50
  Outfield toward left and not very deep.
• 2:09:52
  The one-one pitch.
• 2:09:54
  He's going to drag it. It's a fine squeeze of home.
• 2:09:57
  Oh, is in time.
• 2:10:00
  That's what the pitch dropped him out.
• 2:10:04
  And a throw to first, Nip-to-Loo, the play going one-three to retire to the side.
• 2:10:08
  And the in-eagle runs, one hit, no errors.
• 2:10:10
  One man left at the end of the seven, Pittsburgh 4, Chicago 1.
• 2:10:16
  Pittsburgh paint presents the Breathing House.
• 2:10:20
  Your house is breathing all the time.
• 2:10:29
  It expands when it's hot and humid, contracts when it's cool and dry,
• 2:10:34
  inhales and exhales, stretches and shrinks.
• 2:10:38
  That's why house paint cracks and bulges and peels.
• 2:10:42
  So we made a new paint that stretches and breathes.
• 2:10:45
  New Pittsburgh Sunproof Latex.
• 2:10:48
  It has four times the stretchability of other house paints.
• 2:10:52
  It breathes and expands and contracts with your house,
• 2:10:56
  so it resists cracking and blistering and peeling.
• 2:11:00
  Pittsburgh Sunproof Latex house paints last longer, years longer than any other house paint.
• 2:11:06
  Try it. Give your house a breather.
• 2:11:11
  Twenty thousand, nine hundred and eighteen at fourth field for the final game.
• 2:11:24
  And Bob, there's a guy sitting down here that's made history here.
• 2:11:28
  And this ballpark is synonymous with his name, isn't it?
• 2:11:31
  Yeah, he made it easy as pie.
• 2:11:33
  Glad to see him. I guess that's a B-trainer, doesn't it?
• 2:11:36
  Sure good to see him up and around and know that he's Hale and Hardy.
• 2:11:40
  Well, I think it's quite an honor to just feel and produce two players that didn't produce but saw two players
• 2:11:48
  and were unanimously selected as the all-time greatest players in their position.
• 2:11:52
  Trainer, who's here now, played third, and of course the late Onus Lager,
• 2:11:56
  who played short and is a judge by many as the greatest player of all time.
• 2:12:01
  Yeah, it's good to see. He's probably out at the ballpark again.
• 2:12:04
  He's recovering from an illness.
• 2:12:06
  Billy Williams, who's had two hits in three times at Bat Steps in.
• 2:12:11
  Fastball by Jimmy Nelson is just outside, ball one.
• 2:12:15
  Pirates leading four to one.
• 2:12:17
  We won the front game with a double header, three to two.
• 2:12:22
  Six more outs to go in this ballpark.
• 2:12:26
  Line drive, center field.
• 2:12:28
  Dan Lue will play it on about the second half, holding his first base.
• 2:12:32
  Another well-infall by Williams.
• 2:12:42
  Stepping in, Jim Hickman and Williams have been about it offensively for the Cubs in this series,
• 2:12:48
  and I guess they're almost a week too, although Williams had some sort of a slump prior to coming in here.
• 2:12:57
  And I was on on the fourth play, fly at the center, essentially walked back in the fifth
• 2:13:02
  when Nelson picked out of a tough jam.
• 2:13:05
  The bases loaded, got Santo to hit in with double play.
• 2:13:13
  Curve ball way outside, one ball and a strike.
• 2:13:16
  Activity now, the Pirates bullpen, left hander Luke Walker, who's got a save on the front game,
• 2:13:22
  getting the final two outs after the bases are loaded,
• 2:13:27
  and right hander Dave Juchte, who picked up the win in the front game.
• 2:13:40
  Nelson, with that shared third base, takes the sign.
• 2:13:44
  Here is the home ball in, taken by Hickman, one ball, one strike.
• 2:13:51
  Jim Hickman has to be an all-star player this year for the first time in his major league career,
• 2:13:57
  having a great year.
• 2:13:59
  Hitting at 3.30, leaving the club in RBI.
• 2:14:03
  Home ball, taken, foul tipped.
• 2:14:06
  Tried to get the bat out of there, couldn't make it.
• 2:14:09
  And the count now, ball and two strikes.
• 2:14:16
  Nelson started this one-inch dig for the Bucks when he shut out the Cardinals and ten-an-inch won the nothing.
• 2:14:25
  He's been fighting the strike cliche, but it has been a pretty good team effort all around.
• 2:14:29
  One-two pitch, curve ball is outside, count even, two balls, two strikes.
• 2:14:48
  Kevner deep at third, not five feet off the line.
• 2:14:55
  Two-two pitch, bounce the shortstop Valley over to Mazuratsky to throw the first double play.
• 2:15:14
  That's the third double play in this ball game.
• 2:15:18
  That's the second that Alley and Mazuratsky have turned over.
• 2:15:25
  1966 was a big year for Oop and Maz with a double play.
• 2:15:31
  It's good to see both of them back healthy and playing once again.
• 2:15:35
  Santo, 0-3, bounce into a double play with a base is loaded the last time.
• 2:15:40
  Pirates leading 4-1.
• 2:15:42
  Waking ball taken by Santo, strike one.
• 2:15:49
  Not too many people leaving their seats.
• 2:15:52
  40,918.
• 2:15:54
  Boy, they've enjoyed a beautiful day for baseball and two good games.
• 2:15:59
  Curve ball backhanded by May in the dirt, count even to the ball and the strike.
• 2:16:07
  Pirate pitching, which has been a question mark in the spring and the early weeks of the season,
• 2:16:13
  really starting to solidify now.
• 2:16:17
  Found another arm in this guy, Jimmy Nelson.
• 2:16:21
  The 1-1 pitch, a little bit high with a fast ball.
• 2:16:25
  He's behind two balls and a strike.
• 2:16:34
  He gives Don Osborne a lot of credit for the confidence he has in youngsters
• 2:16:39
  and installs in youngsters or in spills.
• 2:16:43
  Home ball inside, three balls and a strike.
• 2:16:57
  3-1 delivery, just a little bit low, and that blocks Santo.
• 2:17:02
  For Jimmy Nelson, that's walk number five.
• 2:17:10
  Nelson, I would have to confess, this is not his best ball game, but he only scored one run, Bob.
• 2:17:17
  That's right.
• 2:17:18
  He's been running through some raindrops.
• 2:17:20
  I remarked a little earlier, Nellie, while you were out getting a sandwich,
• 2:17:24
  that I felt his palm ball wasn't doing what he wanted it to do.
• 2:17:28
  He got amazed on the strikeout the first time he came in at the Biggies
• 2:17:32
  and then got McCubby to go to the double play.
• 2:17:34
  Then the next time out against the Dodgers, it stayed with him and stayed him out the next time.
• 2:17:38
  He won the ball game.
• 2:17:39
  It seemed to me that so far this early part of the game, anyhow, his palm ball wasn't where he wanted it.
• 2:17:45
  Then he seemed to get it back for a while.
• 2:17:47
  Now it seems to have deserted him again.
• 2:17:50
  He's the kind of a guy, though, we mentioned before, that just doesn't know where to give up.
• 2:17:55
  You've got to battle your way to the end.
• 2:17:59
  A very good competitor.
• 2:18:01
  That's something you have to have to be an outstanding pitcher just to make it to the big league.
• 2:18:09
  Robertson will play behind Shattow at first base.
• 2:18:12
  Four to one is the score.
• 2:18:13
  The fire is leading.
• 2:18:14
  Top of the eighth.
• 2:18:15
  Callison about her.
• 2:18:16
  Fouls one.
• 2:18:17
  Back on the screen.
• 2:18:19
  Oh, he had a good ball to hit that time.
• 2:18:20
  A little bit annoyed that he didn't poke it.
• 2:18:25
  Callison struck out, drew a walk, and bounced to Bill Mazurowski in three trips against Nelson.
• 2:18:36
  Cubs were able to get only six hits in the front game.
• 2:18:41
  Chopping ball to second.
• 2:18:42
  Mazurowski on two hops, the first, and that retires the coach.
• 2:18:48
  No run.
• 2:18:49
  One hit.
• 2:18:50
  No air.
• 2:18:51
  It's a sad one.
• 2:18:52
  We go to the bottom half of the eighth.
• 2:18:53
  The fire is leading.
• 2:18:54
  Four to one.
• 2:18:55
  Commercial, right?
• 2:18:56
  Right.
• 2:18:57
  And it's good news about the great Plymouth Duster.
• 2:19:00
  You know, Plymouth sales are soaring in this area, and this duster is one great reason.
• 2:19:05
  Once you've seen it, you'll know why.
• 2:19:06
  Small enough, yet big enough, just about says it.
• 2:19:09
  This is what it says.
• 2:19:10
  Duster seats five.
• 2:19:11
  Now, if you've been looking at small cars, you know that's room for one more person than
• 2:19:15
  most mini cars seat.
• 2:19:16
  And look at the trunk.
• 2:19:17
  There's room for just about anything and everything you'll ever want to take along.
• 2:19:20
  Power, you say?
• 2:19:21
  Well, power we got.
• 2:19:22
  More power than most mini cars.
• 2:19:23
  Power you can use on freeways.
• 2:19:24
  Power to make that vacation drive a breeze.
• 2:19:25
  And if a little lady talks style, show her duster.
• 2:19:26
  Inside, outside, all around the duster, you'll never find anything that looks like a mini
• 2:19:27
  car except the price.
• 2:19:28
  Duster.
• 2:19:29
  Priced like a mini car.
• 2:19:30
  Built like a lot more.
• 2:19:31
  There's a Plymouth dealer near you.
• 2:19:32
  And you're going to be able to get a lot more.
• 2:19:33
  And you're going to be able to get a lot more.
• 2:19:34
  And you're going to be able to get a lot more.
• 2:19:35
  And you're going to be able to get a lot more.
• 2:19:36
  And you're going to be able to get a lot more.
• 2:19:37
  And you're going to be able to get a lot more.
• 2:19:48
  And you're going to be able to get a lot more.
• 2:20:11
  And you're going to be able to get a lot more.
• 2:20:32
  And you're going to be able to get a lot more.
• 2:20:53
  And you're going to be able to get a lot more.
• 2:21:20
  And you're going to be able to get a lot more.
• 2:21:47
  Two up and two down.
• 2:21:51
  Ladies and gentlemen, we see a day-long ride down to his place.
• 2:21:56
  1956, good with the toker and that thing's still working.
• 2:22:04
  I'm glad I am too.
• 2:22:06
  Stijl off the fifth, fly ball to left field.
• 2:22:09
  Just came back as Billy Williams and he runs it there.
• 2:22:13
  Now an easy inning for Larry Gura. Free fly ball out, no runs, no hits, no errors, and on left.
• 2:22:21
  We've completed eight innings of play and the pilots lead the second game four to one.
• 2:22:27
  Your next car, what will it be?
• 2:22:30
  Well, if you're on a budget you could settle for a nice little compact, nice and small, nice and cheap.
• 2:22:35
  But what if you're the luxury type and still on a budget?
• 2:22:38
  Then you're in trouble unless you see your Chrysler dealer.
• 2:22:41
  That's right, Chrysler, because right now a full-size Chrysler Newport is priced only a few dollars a month more
• 2:22:47
  than a Ford LTD or a Chevy Caprice comfortably equipped.
• 2:22:50
  And that's unloaded Chrysler Newport, a four-door sedan with a big 383 cubic inch V8 engine
• 2:22:56
  that uses regular gas, power steering, automatic transmission radio, fiberglass-belted white sidewall tires,
• 2:23:03
  torsion bar suspension, and more.
• 2:23:05
  Chrysler Newport, that's luxury, that's value.
• 2:23:09
  That's your next car waiting for you right now.
• 2:23:12
  And there's a Chrysler dealer near you.
• 2:23:16
  See Andy Gregg or Carl Sobeck at Gregg Motor Company in Clareton,
• 2:23:21
  or Phil Duttweiler at Phil Duttweiler Motors in Mason Town.
• 2:23:32
  Well, Dave Justy has come on now and Nelson has gone eight innings for one run.
• 2:23:37
  He can win, he cannot lose.
• 2:23:39
  Justy can pick up a save.
• 2:23:41
  He was the winner in the first game.
• 2:23:43
  No question as we talked, he had been struggling.
• 2:23:47
  But he gave up five walks, he threw a lot of pitches.
• 2:23:52
  And Danny Murtaugh, you must remember one other thing.
• 2:23:55
  This boy had a history earlier of a sore arm.
• 2:23:58
  Danny Murtaugh doesn't want to horse around with that.
• 2:24:01
  We have Al Oliver in right field and John Jeter has come.
• 2:24:10
  Jeter's gone to left field.
• 2:24:18
  Justy will go to Cleo James.
• 2:24:21
  So we're down to what the Pirates hope are the final three outs before 40,918.
• 2:24:38
  The Buccos won the first game, 3-2.
• 2:24:42
  Montreal beat New York 3-2 to take two out of three from the match.
• 2:24:47
  And now we're here in the ninth inning leading 4-1.
• 2:24:51
  They outfield around to the left.
• 2:24:54
  Now the pitch.
• 2:24:56
  Danny bounces it up the middle and over to the left is Ali.
• 2:24:59
  Up behind seconds, does he bounce?
• 2:25:05
  Beautiful ranging play by Gene Ali.
• 2:25:10
  One away.
• 2:25:12
  Now J.C. Martin over two.
• 2:25:16
  He flied to left, he walked and he popped his short.
• 2:25:25
  Hearts leading 4-1.
• 2:25:29
  They outfield playing J.C. Martin straight away.
• 2:25:36
  Now the pitch.
• 2:25:38
  Ball high.
• 2:25:43
  Here's the goal.
• 2:25:45
  The gentleman that started me broadcasting baseball, the late Rosie Rosewell, opened up for us for your broadcasting.
• 2:25:52
  And now it looks like we're going to close it down.
• 2:25:56
  One ball, one strike.
• 2:26:00
  And I'll be honest with you, it's getting to me.
• 2:26:05
  The 1-1 pitch, palm ball popped into left fielder and Jeter waiting.
• 2:26:11
  Two out.
• 2:26:15
  Willie Smith coming up.
• 2:26:24
  Sixty-one years, almost 5,000 baseball games.
• 2:26:29
  Lady Forbes is about to retire.
• 2:26:36
  The Cubs who opened it 61 years ago, close it here with our pirates.
• 2:26:44
  And just imagine, I doubt if maybe one man was living at the time on this field.
• 2:26:54
  Could have been Leo Durochi, about the only one.
• 2:26:59
  And he would have been updated.
• 2:27:02
  Strike his call, the left hand batting, Willie Smith.
• 2:27:11
  There is an umpire here that could say that.
• 2:27:14
  Foul back, strike two.
• 2:27:18
  I know Leo, he wouldn't leave you, but it's worth taking him in a push.
• 2:27:27
  When I say Leo, I mean late 60s.
• 2:27:31
  Here's the 0-2 pitcher, Smith, high for a ball, one and two.
• 2:27:37
  Les Weddingen, the director of the club over here, just is beaming along with
• 2:27:42
  the ladies, Joe Brown and Wyatt Cindy, their guest Thomas Johnson on the 36th wedding anniversary, one-two pitch.
• 2:27:49
  Low, two and two.
• 2:27:56
  Two balls, two strikes, two out, four-one Pittsburgh, top half of the night.
• 2:28:03
  And the 2-2 pitch to Smith.
• 2:28:09
  Base hit, right up the middle.
• 2:28:19
  Number seven brings up Don Kessinger, he's singled and scored, it's got a long run.
• 2:28:25
  He flied out to right field in the third, he looped the single to left in the fifth,
• 2:28:29
  he bounced out the second in the seventh.
• 2:28:38
  The outfield playing around to the left.
• 2:28:42
  To the left-hand batting, Kessinger.
• 2:28:45
  Justy, who won the first game bidding for a save in the second game,
• 2:28:49
  Nelson, the pitcher of record.
• 2:28:52
  Now the pitch, Kessinger takes a strike.
• 2:29:02
  By 25 years from now, 300,000 people would have been here at this game,
• 2:29:07
  it always is that way.
• 2:29:09
  Pitch high, ball one, strike one.
• 2:29:12
  Bidding with Al Barlich, the senior umpire of the National League,
• 2:29:16
  would call the balls and strikes in the first game with Eddie Vargo,
• 2:29:19
  born and reared in Butler, Pennsylvania, who spent many a pleasurable hour here
• 2:29:24
  as a spectator umpire of the last game.
• 2:29:27
  One ball, one strike.
• 2:29:30
  A high chopper over the man going over forward is Ness, he got it, it's all over.
• 2:29:37
  It's all over.
• 2:29:40
  Sixty-one years, and the Buccos receive a standing ovation.
• 2:29:47
  They close it out, and the tubs go down to the beach.
• 2:29:51
  No runs, one hit, no errors, and one left.
• 2:29:54
  Pittsburgh takes the doubleheader, three-two and four to one.
• 2:29:58
  Pardon me, sir, I notice you are painting your house.
• 2:30:00
  Yes, I'm painting my house.
• 2:30:02
  With Pittsburgh sunproofed, the new latex house paint that fights discoloration from air pollution.
• 2:30:07
  Well, that's what they claim.
• 2:30:08
  Air pollution quite a problem in this city, is it?
• 2:30:10
  You're kidding or what?
• 2:30:11
  I wonder if you'd mind slipping off that gas mask for just a moment,
• 2:30:14
  we're not picking up too clearly.
• 2:30:16
  Okay, well, just for a moment.
• 2:30:19
  That's better.
• 2:30:20
  Sunproof from Pittsburgh not only allows your house to stretch and shrink with extreme hot or cold weather,
• 2:30:25
  it has also been developed to fight mildew and the ravages of air pollution.
• 2:30:29
  Can you hurry it up, please?
• 2:30:31
  As air pollution from automobiles and industry increases in the seventies,
• 2:30:35
  isn't it a comfort to know that your house will continue to look great longer
• 2:30:39
  when it's painted with Pittsburgh's new sunproof?
• 2:30:42
  It's a kind of a comfort, yeah.
• 2:30:44
  Good luck to your lungs in the seventies, but at least your house will look great.
• 2:30:49
  In North Hills, your Pittsburgh paint dealer is John Rogers,
• 2:30:53
  North Hills Village Shopping Center, McKnight Road.
• 2:30:56
  In Mount Lebanon, there's a Pittsburgh paint center located at 316 Castle Shannon Boulevard.
• 2:31:03
  Before we summarize, the doubleheader that has moved the Pittsburgh Pirates
• 2:31:07
  into a virtual drive for first place in the Eastern Division of the National League
• 2:31:12
  with the New York Met and the Met coming up tomorrow night.
• 2:31:16
  Let's pause for station identification along the Pittsburgh Pirate radio network.
• 2:31:22
  Fielding everything, open mic with Mike Levine,
• 2:31:40
  6-9, on Katie J.A. Pittsburgh.
• 2:31:52
  In the first game of a doubleheader, the Pittsburgh Pirates, who were going on to win two games,
• 2:31:58
  picked up a 3-2 victory, directing their winning streak to six in a row,
• 2:32:04
  a half game at that stage of the day closer to the league-leading New York Mets.
• 2:32:11
  In the first game, the Pirates had three runs, seven hits and no errors,
• 2:32:16
  and for the Chicago Cubs, two runs, six hits and one error.
• 2:32:21
  The winning pitcher in relief was Dave Justy, his record four and nothing.
• 2:32:29
  The losing pitcher for the Chicago Cubs was Billy Hans, and his record dropped to nine and seven.
• 2:32:38
  It was a great first game for the Bucks to win, as they extended their winning streak to six straight
• 2:32:46
  and the Cubs losing streak to nine in a row.
• 2:32:49
  And then in the second game of the doubleheader, the Chicago Cubs greeted the young right-hander,
• 2:32:56
  Nelson, with three consecutive hits.
• 2:32:59
  There was action in the Pirate bullpen, and the Cubs had a one-nothing lead.
• 2:33:03
  In the last of the first inning, Al Oliver hit his sixth-goal run of the season and tied the game at one.
• 2:33:09
  Then in the fifth inning, the Pirates went on top with a couple of runs,
• 2:33:14
  added another run in the sixth inning, four runs, five hits and no errors,
• 2:33:19
  for the victorious Pittsburgh Pirates and for the Chicago Cubbies, one run, seven hits and one error.
• 2:33:27
  The winner in the second game, Nelson, his record is now three and nothing,
• 2:33:32
  and Justy was credited with his 11th save of the season.
• 2:33:37
  The starter and loser for the Chicago Cubs was Pappas, with a record of two and two.
• 2:33:44
  The 40,918 jam forms field was the final game to be played in the history of this park.
• 2:33:54
  It all began in 1909, and in that year, the Pirates went on to win the pennant and to win the World Series.
• 2:34:05
  And now they close it out with a sweep of the three-game series from the Chicago Cubs
• 2:34:11
  within a virtual tie of first place in the Eastern Division.
• 2:34:15
  New York lost today, their record is 38-33.
• 2:34:19
  The Pirates, by winning two, now 40 victories, more than any other team in the Eastern Division.
• 2:34:26
  They have lost 35 times. The percentage for New York is 535.
• 2:34:32
  The percentage for the Pittsburgh Pirates is 533.
• 2:34:37
  Nelly, this has been a grand and glorious day.
• 2:34:41
  I know how Bob has felt beginning his broadcasting career here.
• 2:34:46
  Your pitching career was right out there on that mound, and before you do close it off,
• 2:34:52
  I'm sure there must be a goose bump or two along your arms and down your back,
• 2:34:58
  and maybe a sad note in your voice and a tear in your eye.
• 2:35:04
  Well, not really, not a tear in my eye, but you get a little nostalgic about these moments, I'm sure.
• 2:35:10
  I got more goose bumps during the ball game because this ball club has kind of attracted a lot of enthusiasm,
• 2:35:16
  or brought some enthusiasm back to Pittsburgh and the sports, and I'm happy to see that.
• 2:35:20
  But as far as my pitching career was brief in the big leagues, I won my first ball game here,
• 2:35:26
  and it's something I'll always treasure. You can't take it away from you.
• 2:35:29
  It's something you dream when you're a little kid, a chance to play in the big leagues.
• 2:35:33
  You always remember the first one you get along.
• 2:35:36
  It's right here again.
• 2:35:37
  See, then, Milwaukee Braves.
• 2:35:40
  O'Lanxion was being played, and players are now bringing their baseball caps out,
• 2:35:46
  and they're getting a huge response here, Gene.
• 2:35:48
  It's a real heartwarming thing. The fans are enjoying it, and I think the players are, too.
• 2:35:53
  And it's seven in a row now for the Bucks.
• 2:35:56
  That's right. Momentum is a wonderful thing.
• 2:36:00
  I think Roberto's ovation would be something that the folks along our higher-up network would like to pick up,
• 2:36:09
  as each player has autographed his baseball cap.
• 2:36:16
  That is Roberto Clemente. That was for Clemente.
• 2:36:22
  Bill Maserati will look at a few pretty good cheers, too.
• 2:36:27
  That's high.
• 2:36:29
  Well, Mellie, along with everything that goes with the winning of the doubleheader and the closing of Forbes Field and all,
• 2:36:35
  you can't say, well, that's the season, because the players leave tomorrow morning.
• 2:36:40
  We go into New York, and they begin a road trip against the New York Mets
• 2:36:45
  Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday afternoon. Thursday afternoon will be, and Thursday night will be a day off.
• 2:36:52
  Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in Chicago. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday along in Philadelphia.
• 2:36:59
  And then Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in St. Louis, all before the All-Star Break.
• 2:37:04
  So they have a lot of work cut out for them yet.
• 2:37:07
  The next six days are going to be real big ones for this ball club. It's in Shea Stadium.
• 2:37:13
  And, of course, then the weekend series with the Cubs. They don't want to come back.
• 2:37:18
  The Cubs is a good ball club, Chicago. They're not beaten. They're going to bounce back. It's too early.
• 2:37:22
  Their pitching's a little bit hurting right now, and they're not hitting.
• 2:37:25
  But every ball club goes through that. We've got momentum and they don't.
• 2:37:29
  But it's going to be a very interesting road trip, and we'll be most happy to bring it to you.
• 2:37:34
  Well, I guess we'll wind it up from Forbes Field. It's been my pleasure to sit along with Bob Prince for four years,
• 2:37:40
  and this year to sit along with Gene Osborne.
• 2:37:43
  That winds up our power of broadcast for today and forever from Forbes Field.
• 2:37:47
  We'll be back on the air tomorrow at 8 o'clock from Shea Stadium. We take on the New York Mets.
• 2:37:52
  Now speaking for Bob Prince, the gunner, for Gene Osborne, good old trusty engineer, George Cleave,
• 2:37:59
  and our loyal statistician, Radio Rich, Nellie King, saying so long for us.
• 2:38:04
  Your colorful Pittsburgh Thanksgiving, where you can select from a rainbow of colors.
• 2:38:09
  Pittsburgh Thanksgiving, a product of PPG Industries.

• 2:39:02
  The Pirates beat the Double Headers. The Pirates won the front ball games 3-2.
• 2:39:07
  They came back to win the night cap 4-1.
• 2:39:10
  All line time was signed and we'll say it too.
• 2:39:14
  This is the Pirates, big ball night.
