- 0:07Game 1 of the 1962 Major League Baseball All-Star Game took place on July 10, 1962.
- 0:14For a few years beginning in 1959, Major League Baseball held two All-Star games during the summer, a couple weeks apart.
- 0:21The National League was managed by Fred Hutchinson of the Cincinnati Reds, who had won the pennant in 1961.
- 0:27Hutchinson would send the Dodgers' Don Drysdale to the mound, who had amassed a 15-4 record going into the break.
- 0:33The American League was managed by the Yankees' Ralph Houch, who had won the World Series over the Reds in 1961, his first year as skipper in New York.
- 0:41He would send the Detroit Tigers' Jim Bunning to the mound to face the powerful National League lineup.
- 0:46This audio recording is from the NBC Radio broadcast featuring announcers Lindsey Nelson and John McLean.
- 0:52Good afternoon baseball fans, this is John McLean with Lindsey Nelson welcoming you to the District of Columbia Stadium in Washington, D.C., and the first All-Star Baseball game.
- 1:02Brought to you by the Gillette Safety Razor Company, maker of the new Gillette adjustable razor,
- 1:09remarkable super blue blades that give all but unbelievable shaving comfort, foamy, the cream of all instant laughs, and right guard, the new power spray deodorant for men.
- 1:21Manned by Chrysler Corporation and its All-Star lineup, Plymouth, Valiant, Chrysler, Imperial, Dodd, Darts, Lancer, and Dodd's Crutch.
- 1:34The action card for 1962 from Chrysler Corporation.
- 1:40The capacity crowd at beautiful D.C. Stadium in Washington is awaiting the arrival of President John F. Kennedy.
- 1:49Here in Washington today, the nation's capital, you couldn't ask for a finer day for this first All-Star game of 1962.
- 1:58The temperature at noon a little over 45 minutes ago was a comfortable 78 degrees.
- 2:04There isn't a cloud in the sky. There's a little bit of a refreshing breeze blowing from the right field corner toward home plate.
- 2:12The fans at D.C. Stadium are so high that not too much air gets down onto the field at play.
- 2:19So with the temperature at 78 degrees, the wind is west northwest 9 miles per hour and the humidity a very comfortable 41 percent.
- 2:32The capacity crowd, which has been a set off for weeks and will reach 45,015 the official listed capacity seating of D.C. Stadium,
- 2:44all standing now as we said, awaiting the arrival of President Kennedy.
- 2:50In the meantime, the two squads are being introduced over the public address system. That is the voice you hear in the background.
- 2:57The manager Fred Hutchinson of the National League and the defense manager of the New York Mets, Charles Dillon Casey Stengel.
- 3:16There won't be many greater ovations today than that accorded to Mr. Casey Stengel, the manager of the New York Mets.
- 3:26As the players are being introduced, we'll give you the starting lineup for this afternoon's game.
- 3:32Since we are in D.C. Stadium, the home of the Washington Senators, the American League squad is the home team and will occupy the dugout off the first baseball line.
- 3:43The National League, the visiting squad, will bat first and occupy the dugout off the third base line.
- 3:51For the National League today, leading off and playing at shortstop is Dick Groat, Groat of the Pittsburgh Pirates playing shortstop.
- 3:59Batting second and playing in right field, Roberto Clemente. Clemente in right field, also of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
- 4:08Batting third, playing in center field, from the San Francisco Giants, Willie Mays. Mays in center field.
- 4:17Batting fourth, also from the San Francisco Giants, first baseman Orlando Sofeda. Sofeda at first base.
- 4:26Batting fifth and in left field, from the Los Angeles Dodgers, Connie Davis. Tom Davis, left field.
- 4:35Hitting sixth and at third base is Ken Boyer of the St. Louis Cardinals. Boyer at third base.
- 4:43Hitting seventh and catching, Joe Trangle of the Milwaukee Braves.
- 4:49Trangle catching and batting seventh. That ovation, in case you're in doubt, was for Lawrence Bond, the winningest active major league pitcher, who was just introduced.
- 5:00The number eight hitter for the National League is second baseman Billy Mazuratsky of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
- 5:06Mazuratsky at second base hitting eighth. Fishing and batting ninth is the side-arming right-hander of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Don Drysdale.
- 5:17Who has won 15 games and lost only four. Drysdale brings the most wins into an all-star game of any National League pitcher in the history of this game.
- 5:28Only two other pitchers, both American Lakers, Bob Seller, the Cleveland Indians, and Whitey Ford, the New York Jackies, have brought more victories into this game.
- 5:37He's had 16 and there is Sam the Man Mugell being introduced.
- 5:47The great veteran Sam Mugell of the St. Louis Cardinals drawing a tremendous ovation from the crowd at BC Stadium.
- 5:54Now the starting lineup for the American League All-Stars. Leading off and playing at third base, the sensational rookie of the Minnesota Twins, Rich Rollins.
- 6:03Rollins at third base. Batting second and playing second base from the Los Angeles Angels, Billy Moran. Moran at second base.
- 6:12Hitting third and playing in center field is Roger Maris of the Yankees. Maris in center field.

- 6:27Batting fourth and at first base from the Baltimore Orioles, Jim Peele. Jim Peele at first base.

- 7:01Fishing and batting ninth from the Detroit Tigers, right-hander Jim Funnings with a record of nine wins and four defeats.
- 7:10Draw your starting batteries for this All-Star game. For the National League, Don Drysdale pitching,
- 7:16Al Crandall catching. For the American League, Jim Funnings pitching, Earl Batty is the catcher.
- 7:27This All-Star baseball game is being brought to you from District of Columbia Stadium in Washington, D.C.
- 7:34Don Drysdale, the National League starter, beginning to warm up. Say, Lindsay, haven't you got a tape you made with Don?
- 7:40Yes, Don, and here it is.
- 7:41I know you're an adjustable razor user, Don, but have you tried Gillette's newest, the Slim Adjustable?
- 7:46Matter of fact, Lindsay, I bought one in the clubhouse the other day. You know it handles even better than the old one.
- 7:51I'll get one of my own.
- 7:53Like Don, men everywhere are switching to the new Slim Adjustable razor, and why don't you try it?
- 7:58You'll find it streamlined from head to handle with a summer compact design. It's longer and lighter,
- 8:04slimmer too for hard to shave areas like around the lips and under the nose.
- 8:08The new Slim is the very first adjustable razor at a low, low price of only $1.50.
- 8:13It's got Gillette's exclusive micrometer dial with nine different settings.
- 8:17You'll pick the one that's just right for your combination of skin and beard.
- 8:21With the Slim, you get a supply of easy-shaving Gillette's Super Blue Blade.
- 8:25A new experience in shaving comfort you shouldn't miss.
- 8:28See the new Gillette's Slim Adjustable razor at the low, low price of only $1.50 on display at a store near you.
- 8:36Now once again, John McClane.
- 8:39The American League All-Stars are being introduced.
- 8:42Manager Ralph Popp is coach's early hip-stuck, while the Orioles and Mickey Vernon, the manager of the Washington Senators.
- 8:51It will be very difficult to say who drew the greatest amount of applause when the National Leaguers were introduced,
- 8:58but I guess you'd have to say it was a draw.
- 9:01Casey Singles, Willie Mays, Warren Spahn, and Sam Musial all drew tremendous ovations from the capacity crowd at D.C. Stadium in Washington.
- 9:12The umpires for this afternoon's game, and unlike the days when one All-Star game was played,
- 9:19when they used to change the umpires around, rotate them at the end of four and one happenings,
- 9:25now that they're playing two All-Star games, the umpires will remain at their starting positions throughout the game.
- 9:32And they will be, back to the plate, Ed Hurley of the American League.
- 9:37At first base, Augie Donatelli of the National League.
- 9:42At second base, Bob Stewart of the American League.
- 9:47At third base, Tommy Benson of the National League.
- 9:52And along the foul line, it will be Al Foreman of the National League, stationed along the right field line,
- 10:01and Harry Schwartz of the American League, will be stationed along the left field line.
- 10:07And in the event of injury or illness to one of the working umpires,
- 10:13now signer of the National League is a standby umpire at this All-Star game.
- 10:19With Carmel on the field, before the ball game, in company with Augie Donatelli, Ed Hurley, Harry Schwartz, and Tony Benson.
- 10:27The American League All-Stars are being introduced.
- 10:30And while they are being introduced, it will give us an opportunity to catch you up to date on this huge, federally built D.C. stadium in Washington.
- 10:43It's a structure which is combined for baseball and football, and has an unusual feature,
- 10:50in that there is no lower deck of stands, no leacher seats as such, in the outfield.
- 10:58There's a double deck from the right field corner, completely around to the left field corner,
- 11:04and then only a top deck or a single deck from the foul line to foul line.
- 11:11And in between, from the left field foul corner, is a huge, high, brownish colored wall,
- 11:20and along that is a track, like a railroad track, and the stands, the lower stands, just at the front edge of the visiting dugout at third base,
- 11:32around to the center field area where the green batter's background begins.
- 11:38This entire stand can be pulled around by a half track or a tractor, some sort of mechanism,
- 11:45so that they become the sideline seats for football. Then straight away in center field is the green batter's background,
- 11:53and just to the right of straight away center field is what is billed here in Washington as the world's longest scoreboard.
- 12:02It's 102 feet long, extending from the just to the right of straight away center, over to the right field foul line.
- 12:11And first, we won't have to worry about scores of other games. This is the game today, the all-star game at DC Stadium,
- 12:19Mickey Meadows of the New York Yankees, being introduced and drawing a tremendous roar from the crowd.
- 12:26The two pitchers, seemingly oblivious to it all, along the first base side, Jim Bunning, the side armor from the Detroit Tigers,
- 12:34has been one of the American League's most effective pitchers in all-star game competition. And along the third base side is Don Drysdale,
- 12:43who with 15 wins in all-star game time, with luck and continued good pitching,
- 12:50and with the great hitting of his Dodger ball club, could become the first 30-game winner in the National League since the Disney team did it back in 1934.
- 13:03The American League has not had a 30-game winner since the left-hander Bob Moe's Grove, the Philadelphia Athletics in 1930, when he won 31 and lost only 4.
- 13:16The foul line distance is at DC Stadium, 335 feet to left and right field. To almost straightaway right field is 378 feet.
- 13:28Straightaway center, the deepest spot in the ballpark, is 410 feet. To slightly left center, 381 feet, and as we said at the line, 335 feet.
- 13:42President John F. Kennedy is making his appearance to the playing of ruffles and flourishes by the band stationed in Sharp Center Field,
- 13:52a presidential party, moving now into the box. And this, to my knowledge, is the first time that a president of the United States has ever attended an all-star game.
- 14:07There was one played previously in Washington in 1956 at Old Griffith Stadium, and Mr. Kennedy, and also an all-star game played here in Washington in 1937 and 1956,
- 14:23also at the Old Griffith Stadium, which is soon to be dismantled. The sad portion, much of it, of this new DC Stadium was that which was dug up and transported from the Old Griffith Stadium.
- 14:39Beautiful ballpark, and at this moment, the speaker of the House, Mr. John McCormick of Massachusetts, is meeting Stan Musial. Commissioner Frick is introducing Stan to President Kennedy.
- 14:56They are exchanging pleasantries at the moment, and very shortly it will be play ball at DC Stadium before again, back up.
- 15:06The president throws out the first ball to catcher Earl Batty of the American League All-Stars.
- 15:15It's begun the custom the last few years for the president to make two tosses on opening day.
- 15:22Whether or not he's going to throw another one here, we don't know. He lost the ball to Earl Batty, the catcher.
- 15:28Earl has gotten into the box to shake hands with President Kennedy, and apparently Mr. Kennedy is going to blot up his right arm again.
- 15:38And Earl Batty offers the ball to the president, gives it to Frank Slocum, assistance to Commissioner Frick, and presumably that baseball, too, will find its way to the trophy room that Mr. Kennedy has won.
- 15:56At the White House as a memento and a souvenir of his appearance at the 1962 All-Star Game in Washington.
- 16:06Beautiful, beautiful day. You couldn't have asked for finer weather than we have in Washington today to watch the stars in action.
- 16:13As the gates were open here at 10 o'clock this morning, lines were formed long before that time so that they could get in the seats
- 16:24and watch these great stars of both leagues participate in batting practice.
- 16:29And the biggest oohs and ahs from the early gathering crowd reserved for Willie Mays who get at least a half dozen shots into the top deck in left field.
- 16:40It's only been done three times during regular season play at DC Stadium.
- 16:44The American League All-Star squad is taking the field. The bullpen crew for the American League squad will go down to left field.
- 16:54Both bullpens are back to back. The American League bullpen or the bullpen of the home squad is out behind the wire fence, which forms the off-field barrier at DC Stadium.
- 17:08And the National League bullpen will be in left center field. Photographers are still taking their pictures as the president is being implored again to pose for just one more.
- 17:26Now we're about ready to start this All-Star Game. So it's a great pleasure for me to introduce my working partner today.
- 17:33The man whose voice is known to millions as the broadcaster of the New York Mets, the National League, Lindsay Nelson. Lindsay?
- 17:40Thanks very much, John McLennan. Thanks for a very fine job of setting up the color of one of the most colorful of all the athletic spectacles, the All-Star Game here in Washington, D.C.
- 17:49This is the 32nd All-Star Game. The first one was played in 1933 at Comiskey Park in Chicago. Up to right now the American League has won 16 games.
- 17:59The National League has won 14. There has been one tie. Now stepping into the ladder box, the lead off for the National League, the field captain and shortstop of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Dick Groat.
- 18:11Dick Groat is a right-hand batter, wears number 24 on his back, called double dozen by Pittsburgh followers. This is his first start in an All-Star Game.
- 18:21He says it ranks high on his list of personal thrills. In 1960, of course, Groat captained the Pittsburgh Pirates to the World Championship.
- 18:29In 60, he was the most valuable player in the National League, and that same year he led the National League in batting with an average of 325.
- 18:37Jim Bunning, looking in for a sign, has it now. And here comes the first pitch of the All-Star Game. It's the curve ball that is missing high for ball one.
- 18:46And the game is underway here under perfect weather conditions in Washington, D.C. Temperature is 78 degrees, humidity 41 percent.
- 18:54Catch your old batty going out to get checked out on signs with Jim Bunning.
- 18:59Bunning brings into this ball game a record in the American League this season of nine victories and four losses.
- 19:05Time is being called for the moment while the bullpen crew of the National League goes around the outfield warning path out to the bullpen area.
- 19:14So play has been suspended for this moment.
- 19:17Dick Groat standing still in the batter's box, swinging the bat loosely.
- 19:21Groat's batting average last season dropped off an even 50 points from 325 to 275.
- 19:26However, this is a comeback year for Groat. He is batting 320 in National League play thus far this season.
- 19:33He's still looking for his first All-Star hit. He played in both games in 1959 and in 1960, but he had only two at-bats in the four games.
- 19:41Did not start either of the games. Here is a pitch fastball inside and low. It's ball two, two and 0 to Dick Groat.
- 19:52Dick Groat never played a single day of minor league baseball. He came off the campus of Duke University directly to the major leagues.
- 20:00That's a fastball in there for a call strike. It's two and one.
- 20:04Groat also was an All-American basketball player at Duke University. He is 31 years of age.
- 20:13One of the finer bat manipulators in the game is a swing in the ground by the shortstop.
- 20:19Luis Afericio is up with it, plays across to Gentile in time. Groat has grounded out from short to first.
- 20:28He's a little bit away and that will bring up Roberto Clemente, the right fielder of the Pittsburgh Tarot.
- 20:34This season in the National League Clemente is batting 342. He has eight home runs.
- 20:45Clemente was the batting champion of the National League last season when he hit 351 over the course of the season.
- 20:52Originally he was the property of the Brooklyn Dodgers, but drafted by Pittsburgh from the Dodger farm at Montreal.
- 21:01Check swing, but he took it too far enough for the strike. He stands deep in the batter's box to Roberto Clemente.
- 21:08The strike zone is anything he can reach with the bat.
- 21:16Slow curve ball, swing out and miss, or a strike two, and you hear the gasp of the crowd as Clemente turns
- 21:23and asks for the rosin bag to be flipped out to him from the area of the on deck circle.
- 21:29Dusts his hands and now comes back.
- 21:32Jim Bunning, chosen by manager Ralph Hulk of the American League All-Stars because he is reputed to be extremely rough on right hand batters.
- 21:44Here's a swing and a drive into right field for a base hit down the right field line.
- 21:48Coming over is Mickey Mantle up with it and Clemente is down to 22nd to 32nd and he's fighting it safely with a double.
- 21:55The third base Clemente with a double lined down into the right field corner.
- 21:59Mickey Mantle playing right field came over to field the ball and played it to second but simply not in time.
- 22:05Clemente, base hit of the game four, National League All-Stars a double to right and here comes Willie Mays.
- 22:18Willie Mays right hand batter hitting 304 this season.
- 22:28There are no left hand batters in the National League starting lineup.
- 22:38Bunning is into the stretch now as Clemente leads at second base and here is the pitch in there for Carl Strykes.
- 22:44Curve ball inside and Willie turned out of there a little bit.
- 22:47Jim Bunning says that he likes to use a tight pitch on batters who are known not to like it
- 22:54and is apt to pitch more inside to that type batter.
- 22:59That pitch is outside football.
- 23:03One and one.
- 23:08In his second year in the Major League in 1956, his first full season with the Detroit Tigers, Bunning won 20 games and lost eight.
- 23:18A pitch to Willie Mays, swung on and foul back and out of play. One ball and two strikes to Mays.
- 23:24Willie came to the Major Leagues when he was 19 coming to the New York Giants from Minneapolis.
- 23:30He is now 31 years of age.
- 23:33He has a very excellent all-star batting average. In all-star competition he has hit 425.
- 23:40Willie has made the All-Star squad every year since his first full season with the Giants in 1954.
- 23:46He's a little tight inside. It's 2-2.
- 23:50Willie Mays has the record for the most runs scored in an all-star competition, 13.
- 23:57Last year he broke the record which had been previously held by Stan Musial.
- 24:03Roberto Clemente is at second base.
- 24:06There is one man out here in the top half of the first inning.
- 24:10Bunning with the pitch, cut on and drove foul just outside the bag at third and on down the line.
- 24:17Two and two the count to Willie Mays as he expects the bat.
- 24:20It appears to be cracked and he is asking that the bat boy bring him out another one.
- 24:24Orlando Cepeda starts up to offer him one. However, he doesn't want that one.
- 24:29Now a bat comes out of the National League dugout and Cepeda relays it on up to Willie Mays.
- 24:40Willie steps back in with that familiar wide stance.
- 24:46Jim Bunning on the mound, 6 feet 3 inches tall, 195 pounder.
- 24:50Bunning is 30 years of age, lives at Fort Thomas, Kentucky.
- 24:53Here's a 2-2 pitch. It's high and it's out full to Willie Mays.
- 24:57Three and two.
- 25:00Bunning was the winning pitcher in the 1957 All-Star Game.
- 25:06He led the American League in strikeouts in 1959 and in 1960.
- 25:11It was a sidearm delivery, not unlike that of his opposite number today, Don Drysdale.
- 25:17Payout pitch, curve ball, cut on and pull foul.
- 25:19Johnny Keene in the coaching box at third, fields it and fires it right on back out to the mound to Jim Bunning.
- 25:26Coaching at third base, Johnny Keene.
- 25:28And coaching at first base for the National League All-Stars, Casey Stengel, the manager of the New York Mets.
- 25:34Casey on the lines at first base for the first time since he managed the Boston Braves.
- 25:45Here's a payout pitch to Mays, swung on and popped up in foul territory, back of the bag at first.
- 25:50Big Jim Gentile is there. He makes the catch. He's out no advance by Clemente at second base.
- 25:55So Willie Mays has fouled out to first. Two men out are running around and Orlando Cepeda is coming up.
- 26:02Cepeda batting 309 this season for the San Francisco Giants, has 18 home runs.
- 26:12In Cepeda's first season in the National League, 1958, he was rookie of the year.
- 26:17He was almost a unanimous choice for first base on this National League starting lineup.
- 26:22He was the starting left fielder in both All-Star games last year.
- 26:26Cepeda also was the National League home run champion last year when he hit 46.
- 26:31And he has drawn the cleanup slot in the National League All-Star batting order,
- 26:35although he does not always bat cleanup for his own Giants.
- 26:39Here's a pitch outside for ball.
- 26:44Cepeda's manager, Alvin Dark, of the Giants is in the crowd here this afternoon,
- 26:48and are most of the managers and general managers of the major leagues.
- 26:55Again Jim Bunning has the sign and the pitch is on the way. It's high and tight.
- 27:00Two balls and no strikes to Orlando Cepeda.
- 27:12Jim Bunning last pitch last Friday against Baltimore when he won his ninth game of the season.
- 27:20He's set to work. There's a swing and a miss.
- 27:24Two and one as Orlando Cepeda took a rip at the 2-0 pitch.
- 27:31No score in the ballgame here in the top half of the first inning.
- 27:36Sign on the Magic Message board out in right field says, welcome Mr. President.
- 27:41John F. Kennedy is located on the American League side behind the American League dugout.
- 27:46There's a pitch cut on. He handles it right up over the plate in foul territory.
- 27:49Earl Batty is there. Makes the catch for the out.
- 27:52He retires the side. He did right on the handle and pops it up just over the plate in foul territory.
- 27:57So Cepeda has fouled out to the catcher in the top half of the first inning.
- 28:00The National League got no runs, one hit, no errors and one left.
- 28:03And so at the middle of the first inning the score is the National League nothing,
- 28:08the American League nothing, Earl Batty making the catch there on that foul pop.
- 28:11You know, Earl can really puff up those pitchers.
- 28:14Don't know exactly what he says to them, but I do know what he said to Kurt Gowdy the other day.
- 28:18Let's hear it Mr. Engineer.
- 28:20I see you've got one of Gillette's new slim adjustable razors there Earl.
- 28:24What blade are you using?
- 28:25Are you kidding? As far as I'm concerned, there isn't any other kind but the super blue blade.
- 28:32Earl's not alone by a long shot.
- 28:34Since their introduction just two and a half short years ago, Gillette's super blues have become the most popular razor blades in the free world by a wide, wide margin.
- 28:43Men and women by the millions agree they've never before experienced such shaving comfort.
- 28:48All but insetable. These amazingly keen, smooth edges are a real scientific breakthrough.
- 28:54The product of a special engineering process that's exclusively Gillette's.
- 28:59And they're double edged for extra convenience and economy.
- 29:03Pick up a dispenser of Gillette's super blue blades at a store near you.
- 29:07Ten blades for 69 cents, 15 for a dollar.
- 29:11Or get a supply with the new Gillette's slim adjustable razor at the low, low price of only a dollar fifty complete.
- 29:19The blade, the blade, the blade, Rich Rolland.
- 29:26Going now to the bottom half of the first inning and the leadoff man for the American League All-Stars is rookie third baseman Rich Rolland.
- 29:34Rich Rolland's coming into the ball game today with a season's batting average of 318.
- 29:39That includes 12 home runs from the Minnesota Twins.
- 29:45Don Drysdale's first pitch misses outside for ball one.
- 29:49Rich Rolland crowds the plate, stands up there just about as close as the law allows.
- 29:56He's known as a pool hitter.
- 29:59He's inspired in there for a call strike. Don Drysdale with a season's record of 15 victories and 4 losses on the mound for the National Leaguers.
- 30:06His 15, the most victories ever brought into an All-Star game by a National League pitcher.
- 30:11Swing and a foul ball coming back out of play.
- 30:15One and two, the count to Rich Rolland. He is one of only two, three hundred hitters in this starting lineup for the American League.
- 30:22Mickey Mantle is the other. Rolland is 24 years of age.
- 30:29And he is hit by a pitch ball.
- 30:31Peer ball coming in close and Nick Bimmi goes on down to first base and becomes the American League's first base runner.
- 30:40With nobody out now, Billy Moran, the second baseman of the Los Angeles Angels is coming up.
- 30:45Batting 287 this season with 11 home runs.
- 30:53Moran is one of the big reasons for the Angels' lofty perch in the American League standings.
- 30:58He was previously up with the Cleveland Indians but played all of the 1960 season and part of last season at Toronto.
- 31:04Here's a pitch tight. It's ball one.
- 31:07Moran is 28 years of age.
- 31:15Don Drysdale, the winningest pitcher in the Major Leagues at present.
- 31:20Here's a swing and a drive into right field.
- 31:22Roberto Clemente comes over and hauls it down for the out.
- 31:25Halfway on the drive to right, Rich Rolland goes back to the bag at first.
- 31:28No advance.
- 31:30One away and Roger Maris is coming up, the center fielder.
- 31:37The American League All-Star is nothing and the National League All-Star is nothing here in the bottom half of the first inning.
- 31:46Roger Maris, left-hand batter, who wrote his name indelibly into the record books last year when he hit 61 home runs.
- 31:52That pitch is outside for a ball.
- 31:54Maris is playing center field today and Mantle is playing right field with the permission of the Commissioner of Baseball as a concession to manager Ralph Hough of the American League All-Stars.
- 32:07Here's a pitch to Maris.
- 32:09It is low for a ball, 2-0.
- 32:11Maris was voted onto the team as a right fielder and Mantle was voted on as a center fielder but as of late when Mantle has been out with ailing legs.
- 32:19When Hough is brought him back to the lineup, he has played him in right field.
- 32:23And so he is allowed to play him that way in the All-Star game.
- 32:26Here's a swing and a foul tip.
- 32:28It's 2-1 to Roger Maris.
- 32:31He has 21 home runs thus far this season.
- 32:34Batting average of 249.
- 32:40Roger Maris for the past two seasons has been named the most valuable player in the American League.
- 32:45Drysdale's pitch went on and fouled off into the stands and out of play, back of the bag at third.
- 32:51Kenny Boyer gives it a run over.
- 32:57So the count is 2-2 now to Roger Maris.
- 33:00Defensively around the infield, the National League All-Stars have Orlando Cepeda at first base, Bill Masurowski at second,
- 33:06Dick Groat at short and Kenny Boyer at third.
- 33:09Tommy Davis is in left field, Willie Mays in center field, Roberto Clemente in right field,
- 33:13Dale Crandall the catcher, Don Drysdale the pitcher.
- 33:17Here's a swing and a miss. He struck him out on an inside pitch.
- 33:24So that is the first strikeout for Don Drysdale and we'll bring up Mickey Mantle.
- 33:39Mickey Mantle is a switch hitter with a batting average for the season of 333.
- 33:43Batting left handed here of course and here's a swing and a miss for strike one.
- 33:47Mantle has 17 home runs this season.
- 33:51Playing right field as he has been doing with the Yankees to take some of the strain off his ailing legs with less territory to cover out in right.
- 33:59Violent leads at first, the pitch is in there for Carl Strike two to Mickey Mantle.
- 34:05He is the all-star veteran of this squad having started every all-star game since 1953 with the exception of the first game in 59.
- 34:13He has twice been the most valuable player in the American League.
- 34:16He has led the American League in home runs four times.
- 34:20In over 11 previous seasons he's averaged 34 home runs a year.
- 34:24There's a swing and a miss. He struck him out.
- 34:27He's got it up and picked it up and tagged Mantle as he stands there. So Drysdale gets two strikeouts here.
- 34:35And in the bottom half of the first inning the American League got no runs on, no hits, no errors and one left.
- 34:40And so at the end of the first inning the score is the National League nothing and the American League nothing.
- 34:47Thousands of fans at this historic all-star game today are keeping their own scorecards so they can relive every thrill in the days to come.
- 34:54Just imagine running out of ink in the middle of a big inning. You'd really be out of luck.
- 34:58But not with a famous Papermate Piggyback pen.
- 35:02Because the Piggyback pen carries its own spare refill.
- 35:05When you run out of ink you simply unscrew the cap, reverse the sections inside and in seconds you're ready to write again.
- 35:13You see the Piggyback pen has two points, two ink supplies, a Papermate exclusive.
- 35:18You never have to worry about running out of ink.
- 35:21Like all Papermate pens the Piggyback positively won't skip. It even writes over butter.
- 35:27And it's unconditionally guaranteed to perform or we replace it free.
- 35:31So don't take a chance on running out of ink at a ball game or anywhere.
- 35:35Get the world's only pen with a built-in spare refill, the Papermate Piggyback.
- 35:39Get a Papermate Piggyback in mixed or matched color combinations only at $1.69.
- 35:44Now to the top half of the second, Tommy Davis standing in and the first pitch to him is low for ball one.
- 35:54The left fielder of the Los Angeles Dodgers with a season's batting average of 353 and 15 home runs.
- 36:01Right hand batter.
- 36:03Here's a swing and a foul ball coming back.
- 36:07Out of play and it's one and one.
- 36:19Tommy Davis leads the National League and the Major Leagues in batting with a mark of 353.
- 36:25Swings and sends a fly ball into center.
- 36:28Roger Maris has it lined up and makes the catch for the out.
- 36:31So Tommy Davis has flied to center in his first time up and brings up the third baseman of the St. Louis Cardinals, Ken Boyer.
- 36:40American League nothing, National League nothing.
- 36:44Boyer has a season's batting average of 293 with 15 home runs.
- 36:49This is the fifth season that Kenny has been on the All-Star squad and he owns an All-Star batting average of 455.
- 36:58Some men perform well in All-Star games and some do not.
- 37:02Boyer apparently does. There's a pitch low for ball one.
- 37:13Jim Bunning of the Detroit Tigers looking in for a sign has it now.
- 37:17Pitch is in there for a Carl strike fastball. Bunning is the father of six children.
- 37:28He pitched a no hitter against the Boston Red Sox in 1958.
- 37:31Here's a curve ball. I'm in low and it is two and one.
- 37:39To win this starting assignment today at third base, Kenny Boyer had to beat out such a star third baseman as Jim Davenport of the Giants,
- 37:46D. Matthews of the Braves, Don Hoak of the Pirates.
- 37:49Here's a swing and a foul ball backing out of play.
- 37:52Boyer's best season in the majors was last year when he hit 329, third highest in the National League.
- 37:57He has the highest lifetime batting average among the veteran active third baseman in baseball.
- 38:08Bunning takes a moment to remove his cap and mop his brow.
- 38:12One man out, nobody on base for the National League All-Stars.
- 38:16And the 2-2 pitch is coming in. Curve ball off the outside corner. It's full at three and two.
- 38:22Del Crandall kneeling in the on deck circle for the National League.
- 38:27Defensively the American League has Jim Gentile at first, Billy Moran at second,
- 38:31Luis Aparicio at short and Rich Rolent at third, Leon Wagner in left, Marison Center, Mandel in right.
- 38:37There's a swing and a miss. Strike three. Strike him out.
- 38:39That is the first strike out for Jim Bunning as he gets Ken Boyer swinging.
- 38:45Two away, nobody on and catcher Del Crandall of the Milwaukee Braves is coming up.
- 38:49Crandall in a comeback year, hitting 291. That's three home runs.
- 38:54He missed practically all of last season with an arm ailment.
- 38:57Played in only 15 games last year. The year before he hit 294, his top major league season.
- 39:04The veteran Del Crandall, he was barely 20 years of age when he came to the majors
- 39:08of Boston Braves in 1949. Now he is 32 years of age.
- 39:13Bunning with the pitch to the right hand batter, low and away for ball one.
- 39:18No score in this ball game in the top half of the second, the 32nd annual all-star game.
- 39:24The 32nd annual all-star game.
- 39:30Bunning's pitch misses outside for ball. It's two and oh.
- 39:34This is the third all-star game to be played in Washington. It was played here in 1937
- 39:38and again in 1956. Previously, the American League won one and the National League won one
- 39:44in the nation's capital.
- 39:50Pitch is low and away.
- 39:53Ball three to Crandall so he looks down to Johnny Keene, coaching at third to get a sign
- 39:58to see what he's doing here on three and oh. Whether he is taking or if he is free to swing away.
- 40:08Three oh pitch is right down the pike. He was taking all the way at the call strike three and one.
- 40:14National League managed by Fred Hutchinson of the Cincinnati Reds and the American League managed
- 40:18by Ralph Halk of the New York Yankees.
- 40:24Three one pitch, swung on and foul back out of the screen. Out of play, it's full at three and two
- 40:30with two men out.
- 40:36You may recall that last year at San Francisco in the all-star game, Warren Spahn started to the
- 40:40National League and pitched three perfect innings, retiring nine straight batters.
- 40:46Spahn is on the squad this season.
- 40:51Three one pitch, cut out and foul back out of the screen and out of play.
- 40:56There were two last minute changes in the squads.
- 41:01Henry Aaron sliding into second base at Chicago last Friday injured his right leg and was removed from the
- 41:07squad replaced by Warren Spahn of the Milwaukee Braves.
- 41:10And Hoyt Wilhelm came up with a sore arm and was replaced by Milt Pappas, both pitchers of the Baltimore Orioles.
- 41:17Here's a three two pitch, swung on and fouled out.
- 41:23Kendall going far to the outside, getting out of him just on the end of the bat so the count continues to hold him
- 41:28with two men out and nobody on base.
- 41:31For the National League All-Stars.
- 41:45Again Jim Bunning works and the pitchers swung on and popped up in the short left field.
- 41:49Coming on is Leon Wagner.
- 41:51Wagner calls for it and he makes the catch in left field.
- 41:54So Crandall is out and in the top of the second the National League All-Stars get no runs on, no hits, no errors
- 42:00and nobody left and at the end of an inning and a half the score is National League All-Stars nothing,
- 42:06the American League All-Stars nothing.
- 42:10One of the finest second basemen in baseball, Bobby Richardson is on the squad here today as a backup man for Billy Moran
- 42:16and listen to what Bobby told Mel Allen the other day.
- 42:19Bobby I see a can of Rite Guard deodorant in your locker, how do you like it?
- 42:23I go for that power spray Mel, it's fast, really does the job quick.
- 42:28Gillette Rite Guard's push button power spray is a fine aerosol mist that gets right through for complete coverage,
- 42:34complete protection from odor causing bacteria.
- 42:38It's not like messy creams you have to rub in to get down where odor begins,
- 42:42not like gummy roll-ons that leave a sticky uncomfortable film,
- 42:46not like grippy wasteful hit or miss squeeze bottle sprays that soak the underarm.
- 42:51There's no muss or fuss with convenient Rite Guard, like the song says, two seconds give you 24 hour protection.
- 42:58Two seconds by the clock, Rite Guard, tick tock.
- 43:03Two seconds gives you 24 hour protection, safe all day with power spray.
- 43:1124 hour protection.
- 43:17Cool, refreshing Gillette Rite Guard deodorant, 79 cents, or the new economy king size, only one dollar plus tax.
- 43:28Going to the bottom half of the second inning and the American League sends up the number five man into batting order, Jim Gentile,
- 43:34first baseman of the Baltimore Orioles, left hand batter with 21 home runs this season, batting average of 280,
- 43:42facing right hander Don Drysdale.
- 43:45That pitch is high and away for a ball.
- 43:49You may have seen Don Drysdale in the movies or in a television drama.
- 43:56He appears in the extra parts frequently. Here's a swing and a miss, one and one.
- 44:09Starting to warm up in the American League bullpen, right hander Camilo Pasqual of the Minnesota Twins.
- 44:16Nothing, nothing ball game to this point. It's a fastball inside to Jim Gentile.
- 44:35Two-one pitch, one out and miss. It's two-two to big jump.
- 44:41The players on the starting lineup, with the exception of the pitchers, are named by a poll of the players themselves.
- 44:47The pitchers and the remaining squad members are named by the managers.
- 44:51And the managers, of course, are those of the previous Falls World Series.
- 44:55In this case, Fred Hutchinson of the Cincinnati Reds and Ralph Hough of the New York Yankees.
- 45:04The two-two pitch to Gentile, tight, drives him out of there. It's three and two.
- 45:09Barring injury, the starting lineup, except pitchers, must play the first three innings.
- 45:14Pitchers cannot pitch more than three innings unless the game goes into extra innings.
- 45:19Manager Ralph Hough indicated before the ball game that Camilo Pasqual probably would follow Jim Bunning.
- 45:25Manager Fred Hutchinson indicated that Juan Marischal of the San Francisco Giants probably would follow Don Drysdale.
- 45:34The pitch to Gentile, high and away, ball four, and he walked him.
- 45:44And so that is the first walk given up by Don Drysdale. He gives the American League a baserunner with nobody out and Leon Wagner coming up.
- 45:57Leon Wagner leaves the American League in home runs with 25 from the Los Angeles Angels, a left-hand batter.
- 46:04Pitch is outside for ball.
- 46:10The two-two pitch to Gentile, tight, drives him out of there. It's three and two.
- 46:15Barring injury, the starting lineup, except pitchers, must play the first three innings.
- 46:20Pitchers cannot pitch more than three innings unless the game goes into extra innings.
- 46:25Manager Ralph Hough indicated before the ball game that Camilo Pasqual probably would follow Jim Bunning.
- 46:31Manager Fred Hutchinson indicated that Juan Marischal of the San Francisco Giants probably would follow Don Drysdale.
- 46:40The pitch to Gentile, high and away, ball four, and he walked him.
- 46:50And so that is the first walk given up by Don Drysdale.
- 46:56Baserunner with nobody out and Leon Wagner.
- 47:04Leon Wagner leads the American League in home runs with 25 from the Los Angeles Angels, a left-hand batter.
- 47:10Pitch is outside for ball.
- 47:17There's nobody out.
- 47:26Drysdale into the stretch. Pitch is swung out and missed. It's one and one.
- 47:33Leon Wagner is the real Cinderella man of this dream game. He was once with the Giants, was traded away to the Cardinals.
- 47:40The Cardinals sent him to Rochester in the International League, and that's where the Angels found him last season.
- 47:46Swing and a miss. One and two.
- 47:53Leads the American League in home runs with 25. He is tied to the RBI lead in the American League with 65.
- 48:03Here's a swing and a ground ball to first, taken by Cepeda. He goes across to Groat. He's out there. The relay back to first. He's safe there.
- 48:09He beat the relay, but on the ground ball to first base, Cepeda turned and fired to Dick Groat at second for the force there.
- 48:16The relay from Groat back to Cepeda at the bag, not in time to get Leon Wagner.
- 48:21So he becomes the baserunner at first, one away, and catcher Earl Batty is coming up.
- 48:28Earl Batty of the Minnesota Twins, hitting 280, four home runs.
- 48:34This is his first time in the All-Star squad. Drysdale now into the stretch.
- 48:41Here is the pitch in there for a Carl's Strike one. Ed Hurley of the American League is behind the plate.
- 48:46Huggie Donatelli of the National League at first base, Bob Stewart of the American League at second, and Tony Benson of the National League at third.
- 48:52Harry Schwartz of the American League down the line and left. Al Forman of the National League down the line and right.
- 48:57Swing and a ground ball, taken by Cepeda at first. He plays to Groat for the force. The relay back to Drysdale covering. He's out. A double play.
- 49:03A 3-6-1 double play. Earl Batty with the ground ball fielded in backhand style by Cepeda at first base.
- 49:12Played across to Groat and on back to the pitcher, Don Drysdale covering it first, so that in the bottom half of the second, the American League got no runs on, no hits, no errors, and nobody left.
- 49:21And at the end of two innings, the score is National League nothing, the American League nothing.
- 49:27The other night in Boston, Kurt Gowdy got talking to Rich about his hitting Rich Rollins, and then they got onto another subject, so listen.
- 49:37Trying the new Gillette Slim Adjustable Razor, Rich?
- 49:40I just did, Kurt. Take a look.
- 49:42Easy, man, easy. My face feels repressed, too.
- 49:46Well, I'll second that. The new Gillette Slim Adjustable Razor is a real step ahead.
- 49:51It's lighter for easier handling, longer for better balance, splimmer for those hard-to-reach shaving areas, trimmer, compact design, streamlined from head to handle.
- 50:02And the new Slim is the first adjustable razor ever at the low, low price of only $1.50.
- 50:08It has Gillette's exclusive micrometer dial with nine different blade settings.
- 50:12You select the one that's exactly right for your combination of skin and beard.
- 50:17Each Slim Adjustable comes with a supply of remarkable Gillette Super Blue Blade.
- 50:21You shave so quick and easy with such incredible shaving comfort, you'll hardly believe there's a blade in your razor.
- 50:27See the Gillette Slim Adjustable Razor at the low, low price of only $1.50 on display now at a nearby store.
- 50:34Going on to the top of the third, and Bill Maserowski is up.
- 50:37Pitch is spun out and has a fly ball to the left. Over is Leon Wagner in the left field corner, and he makes the catch for the out.
- 50:44Bill Maserowski swinging on the first ball pitch has fly it out to the left.
- 50:55And that is going to bring up pitcher Don Drysdale up for his first time in this ball game.
- 50:59No score yet in the 32nd annual All-Star Game District of Columbia Stadium in Washington, D.C.
- 51:15Drysdale is a big right-hand batter, facing Jim Bunning.
- 51:26Swing and a miss for strike one.
- 51:30When this stadium was constructed here in Washington, D.C., a presidential box was constructed for the use of the president.
- 51:39However, he's not using that position today. Here's a pitch in there for Carl Strike.
- 51:44The president of the United States is seated behind the dugout along the right field line, behind the American League dugout.
- 51:53Two-strike count to Drysdale. Bunnings pitches a curve ball, cut out and foul back. He got a little bit of it to stay alive at two strikes.
- 52:06And the president has shed his jacket and is in his shirt sleeves behind the American League dugout,
- 52:13enjoying the sunshine, a very pleasant afternoon here at the stadium.
- 52:20Two-strike pitch to Drysdale. Almost knocked him down. Had him ducking and he ended up in the dirt.
- 52:25He started to lean back to take his tight across the chest and buckle at the knees and went down in the dirt.
- 52:30It's one and two to Drysdale.
- 52:37So here is the one-two pitch. Swung on and foul back onto the screen and out of play.
- 52:42Count holds at one and two.
- 53:01No score in this ballgame as yet. And the top half of the third inning.
- 53:10Jim Bunnings set to work and the one-two pitch. Swung on and missed strike three. He struck him out two away and nobody on.
- 53:16That is strikeout number two for Jim Bunnings.
- 53:22And we'll bring up Dick Groat for his second time in the ballgame in the first inning. He grounded out short to first.
- 53:28Here at District of Columbia Stadium it's 335 feet to the foul pole down the line and left.
- 53:33335 to the foul pole down the line and right. 410 feet to straightaway center.
- 53:38Here's a low wire fence extending all the way around from the left field corner around to the right field corner.
- 53:43Seven feet high. Anything over that low wire fence a home run.
- 53:47Here's a pitch in there for Carl Streit, the right-hand batter Dick Groat.
- 53:59Slight breeze blowing here and that's a little unusual in this stadium. Here's a curve ball, a slow curve in there for Carl Streit.
- 54:07That pitchers employ sidearm deliveries and off the sidearm Bunnings came in with a slow curve ball that time and Dick Groat looked it over and has a count of two strikes.
- 54:24That pitch is way outside, missed everything, came right on back. No damage done. There are no baserunners. Came all the way back to the backstop.
- 54:31On the count of two strikes, Bunnings was taking no chances of getting anything good in there and so it was way outside, one and two.
- 54:39The scoreboard located in right field here is 275 feet long, it's 35 feet high and cost $397,000.
- 54:50The one-two pitch swung on as a ground ball to third. Rich Rollins has it. He's up with it, plays across to Jim Thiel in time and Groat is grounded out third to first.
- 54:59And so in the top of the third, the National League got no runs, no hits, no errors and nobody left.
- 55:03And so at the end of two and a half innings, the score is the National League all-stars nothing, the American League all-stars nothing.
- 55:10One of the top National Leaguers, Ken Boyer, going out now to take his position at third base.
- 55:15Incidentally, Ken had a word for me the other night and here it is. Listen.
- 55:19Ken, I'm just checking. What's your opinion of instant laddies?
- 55:22I like them, Lindsay. Personally, I use Gillette Foamy and I'm all out for it.
- 55:26So many people agree with Ken that Foamy is a top favorite.
- 55:30Just touch the nozzle and out billows rich full-bodied lather that softens your beard, keeps it soaked throughout your shave from first easy gliding stroke till last.
- 55:40Yes, Foamy is the cream of all instant ladders. Next time you buy shaving cream, won't you remember this jingle?
- 55:47For a shave that puts you on the board, Gillette Foamy gets the call. Shave is easy, clean and fast. Get through the shave that lasts and lasts. Shave Gillette.
- 56:06Get cool, refreshing Gillette Foamy. Regular only 79 cents or the Giant Economy size almost twice as much for only 98 cents. Like menthol, we've got that too, same price.
- 56:17We pause 30 seconds for station identification.
- 56:22It's free. Your first box of Jiffy Wrap, the new clear plastic food wrap. The coupon inside the box is worth 29 cents cash. Your favorite food store has Jiffy Wrap.
- 56:39Afericio on his way to second, out around towards third. Roberto Clementi and Willie Mays after the ball up with it and pulling up at third base. It's Luis Afericio with a triple. An extra base hit for Luis.
- 57:04And now Lee Thomas is going to bat here for Jim Bunning. Lee Thomas of the Los Angeles Angels is going to bat here and has a swing and a miss. He's a left hand batter at strike one.
- 57:17Afericio opening up with a triple to the right center field and in betweener that went all the way to the low wire fence. And it's a strike one count to left hand pinch hitter Lee Thomas.
- 57:29A swing and a drive out into center field. It is taken by Grode out there in short center. Holding is Afericio at third. A little bloop actually that appeared to be going farther than it did.
- 57:41And Grode took it, ranging over to his left. No advance. One away and Rich Rollins now coming up for his second time. He was hit by a pitch ball in the bottom half of the first inning.
- 57:52Still no score in the ball game at the American League threatening here in the bottom of the third with a runner at third and one man out.
- 58:00The National League All-Stars have pulled the infield in, trying to make a play at the plate.
- 58:09Don Drysdale looking in to get a sign from his battery mate Del Crandall.
- 58:16Wind up in the pitch as a fastball low for ball one. Jim Bunning is now out of the ball game having been removed for the pinch hitter.
- 58:24Camilo Pasquale continues to throw in the ball fin area for the American League All-Stars. Bunning has pitched eight consecutive scoreless innings of All-Star competition.
- 58:34Drysdale again into the wind up and the pitch. Play out and missed. It's one and one to Rich Rollins.
- 58:40Don Drysdale of course trying to work on Rich Rollins to get him there so he can drop that infield back after the second out.
- 58:50Big right hander has the sign now again into the wind up and the pitch. It's low and away for a ball two and one to Rollins with Aparicio the base runner at third.
- 58:59Now action in the National League All-Star bullpen. Juan Marichal of the San Francisco Giants, a right hander is throwing.
- 59:06Juan Marichal heating up in the bullpen of the National League All-Stars. No score yet in the ball game.
- 59:14Again Drysdale set the 2-1 pitch. Strongman popped up to the infield to the right side.
- 59:19Second baseman Bill Maseroski is there. Takes it on the edge of the outfield grass. There is no advance. Two away.
- 59:26So Rollins popped out to Maseroski who went back about two steps on the edge of the outfield grass and right to make the catch.
- 59:34Drysdale had come off the mound on down behind the plate to back up any possible throw. There was none. He is returning to the mound now.
- 59:40So Aparicio led off the inning with a triple but he is still at third base and coming up is Billy Moran, the second baseman of the Los Angeles Angels.
- 59:48He's been up one time and he flied out to Roberto Clemente in right field.
- 59:52Drysdale with an eye on Aparicio into a full windup and the pitch to Moran swung on and tipped back into the big glove of Del Crandall. Strike one.
- 1:00:04They play Moran almost straight away. He is known to be able to peck that ball in all directions.
- 1:00:12Again Aparicio leads down the line at third and the pitch to Moran. Swung on and popped up in foul territory into the stands and out of play.
- 1:00:22Back over into the stands behind President John F. Kennedy who stood up and looked back into the crowd and is still standing in shirt sleeves and dark glasses looking back to see where that foul ball landed.
- 1:00:34Aparicio who opened up here with a triple went up into the stands to shake the hand of President Kennedy before the ball game and the President asked that Stan Musio come by also and Mr. Musio went by.
- 1:00:46Here's a swing and a miss. Strike three. Struck him out to retire to the side. So Moran is out swinging and that is strike out number three for Drysdale in the bottom half of the third inning of the American League.
- 1:00:59Got no runs on one hit. A triple by Aparicio. No errors and one left as Aparicio died at third and so at the end of three innings the score is the National League nothing, the American League nothing.
- 1:01:11Billy Moran up there in a spot to do some damage however Don Drysdale got him as he took a hefty cut. You know Bill's a man of few words but what he says makes sense.
- 1:01:23Here's what he said to Mel Allen the other day in the clubhouse. Say Bill I see you're shaving with that new Gillette Slim adjustable razor. How do you like it?
- 1:01:30It's great Bill. It's easier to handle and I believe it gives me even more comfortable shave than my old adjustable.
- 1:01:36Yes the new Gillette Slim is streamlined from head to handle lighter for easier handling, longer for better balance, slimmer for hard to reach shaving areas.
- 1:01:46And it's the first adjustable razor ever at the low low price of only a dollar fifty. To adjust it just twist the micometer dial to one of the nine different settings that's exactly right for your skin and beard.
- 1:01:58You get clean refreshing shaves every time. Included with your new Slim adjustable is a dispenser of remarkable Gillette Super Blue Blades.
- 1:02:07They shave you so quick so easy it's hard to believe there's a blade in the razor. See the Gillette Slim adjustable razor. It's on display now at the low low price of only a dollar fifty.
- 1:02:19Coming in now to pitch for the American League All Stars, the curveballing right hander of the Minnesota Trends, Camilo Pasqual in relief of Jim Bunning.
- 1:02:35We have come three innings in the 32nd All Star game with no score. The National League nothing, the American League nothing.
- 1:02:42As Jim Bunning pitched three scoreless innings to give him a run of eight consecutive scoreless innings of All Star pitching.
- 1:02:50He gave up only one hit, a double to Roberto Clemente in the first inning. He struck out two and he walked nine. A fine performance for right hander Jim Bunning here in the nation's capital this afternoon.
- 1:03:05Now Camilo Pasqual who has a seasons record of 12 victories and four losses.
- 1:03:17And on to have one of the finest curveballs in the game.
- 1:03:23He will be facing Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays and Orlando Cepeda here in the top half of the fourth inning.
- 1:03:30As this All Star game is moving right along.
- 1:03:33A packed house of more than forty five thousand on hand here this afternoon.
- 1:03:40In this beautiful new District of Columbia Stadium in Washington D.C.
- 1:03:51Roberto Clemente, right hand batter standing and now waiting for the first pitch from Pasqual.
- 1:03:59It's on the way and it's in there for our call strike. Clemente sort of strided away from the plate to take a good look at that first pitch.
- 1:04:20Willie Mays kneeling in the on deck circle for the National League All Stars.
- 1:04:24As a curveball swung on and drilled out into left field a broken bat hit into left. Clemente turns first, holds on.
- 1:04:30As Leon Wagner comes up with the ball fires it back into second and Clemente has his second base hit of the day.
- 1:04:35Broke the bat and the bat half of it traveled down about as far as the coaching box at third.
- 1:04:40Where Johnny Keene flipped it over. But the ball continued on a low trajectory right on out into left field.
- 1:04:47So the National League has opened up here in the top half of the fourth inning.
- 1:04:51Getting speedster Clemente on it first with Willie Mays at the plate.
- 1:04:54Willie's been up one time and he fouled out back in the back at first.
- 1:05:02The wonder boy of the San Francisco Giants, Willie Mays.
- 1:05:09Here's a pitch of curveball that is inside. Turn Willie out a little bit. It's ball one.
- 1:05:20Again Camilo Pascual is ready. Fires the fastball on the outside low and away and it's ball two.
- 1:05:32The defense shading Willie just slightly toward left almost straight away.
- 1:05:38Of course Willie Mays has power to all fields.
- 1:05:42He is that rare combination of speed and power. Pitch is inside. Throw to first Clemente gets back safely.
- 1:05:51Big Jim Gentile the first baseman down there.
- 1:05:55Jim Gentile of course was once a National Ligger once with the Dodgers.
- 1:06:01Count of three balls and no strikes to Willie Mays.
- 1:06:12Squares to take it and it's an effort called strike three and one.
- 1:06:15In taking the pitch Willie Mays shortened up, bluffed the butt.
- 1:06:26Nothing nothing here in the top half of the fourth inning.
- 1:06:32Clemente leads off the bag at first and here's the pitch to Willie Mays.
- 1:06:35Low and away ball for any walk game.
- 1:06:37So Mays goes to first base that pushes Roberto Clemente up to second.
- 1:06:41That is the first walk given up by American League pitching in this ball game.
- 1:06:49And will bring up Orlando Cepeda.
- 1:06:53Cepeda has been up one time and he fouled out to the catcher.
- 1:06:56He's got a tight pitch right off the handle straight up into the air.
- 1:07:01San Francisco backers call him the baby ball. He has raw power to spare.
- 1:07:08Big right hand batter.
- 1:07:11Batting in the clean up position in the National League batting order.
- 1:07:15Here's the pitch thrown as the ground ball fouled.
- 1:07:17Down pass Johnny Keene coaching at third. Now on deck Tommy Davis.
- 1:07:23Tommy Davis has the highest batting average in the starting lineup here this afternoon.
- 1:07:28Davis hitting.353.
- 1:07:31The National League had five 300 hitters in the starting lineup.
- 1:07:34The American League had only two 300 hitters in the starting lineup.
- 1:07:42One strike count to Cepeda. Runners leading at first and second.
- 1:07:45Here's the pitch swung on and pulled on the ground foul.
- 1:07:48Back toward the National League dugout. A two strike count.
- 1:07:51National League has plenty of speed on the bases.
- 1:07:53Roberto Clemente of the Pitchbury Pirates at second and Willie Mays of the San Francisco Giants at first.
- 1:08:06National League all-stars have only two hits in the ball game this far.
- 1:08:09Both of them by Roberto Clemente.
- 1:08:14Danielo Pascual takes a moment straightening out the dirt there around the rubber.
- 1:08:18Now I said looks in for a sign from battery mate Earl Batty as it goes into the stretch position.
- 1:08:23And here's the pitch to Cepeda. It's high football.
- 1:08:26Here's the fastball. It's one and two.
- 1:08:30Juan Marischal of the San Francisco Giants continues to throw in the bow pen.
- 1:08:34For the National League all-stars pitches can only go three innings of course.
- 1:08:39Now Don Drysdale has completed his three inning stint, which he allowed only one hit to the American League as the triple by Luis Aparicio.
- 1:08:58One ball, two strikes to Orlando Cepeda.
- 1:09:00Here's the pitch. Curveball. High and tight it's two-two.
- 1:09:18Milo Pascual takes a moment to rub up the ball. Now it turns to look in for a sign.
- 1:09:31There's the pitch tight. Throwing back out of there.
- 1:09:33And it's out full now at three and two to Orlando Cepeda with runners at first and second.
- 1:09:38And nobody out for the National League all-stars.
- 1:09:42Making a bid here in the top half of the fourth inning of a game that has been scoreless up to this point.
- 1:09:54Milo Pascual turns again to rub up the ball a little bit.
- 1:09:59Goes to the Rosenberg.
- 1:10:02He is faced with the proposition of a payoff pitch to Orlando Cepeda.
- 1:10:07He has the sign.
- 1:10:09They're running and here's the swing and it was to throw to third and he is on his third.
- 1:10:13A double play. A double play.
- 1:10:16Manager Grant Hutchinson of the National League has the runners going.
- 1:10:19On three-two, nobody out. Cepeda took a cut at a curveball, struck out.
- 1:10:24And Maddie's throw to Rich Rollins at third was on the money to get to Mene as Mays moved to second.
- 1:10:30Two men out, a runner at second and Tommy Davis coming up.
- 1:10:40Tommy Davis has been up one time and he flied out to center.
- 1:10:45So Camilo Pascual with a big pitch there, a three-two pitch to Orlando Cepeda.
- 1:10:51Got himself out of trouble when it was turned into a double play.
- 1:10:54Here's a curveball breaking in there for a call strike to Tommy Davis.
- 1:10:58Tommy Davis with 90 runs batted in and 126 base hits leads the major leagues in both departments.
- 1:11:05He's 23 years of age, born in Brooklyn.
- 1:11:11Mays is running and there is a pitch that Maddie drops and Mays pulls up at third.
- 1:11:16It is a call strike to Tommy Davis and in his haste to throw the ball, Maddie drops it and so Willie Mays gets a stolen base.
- 1:11:27Mays got a good jump, was off and running and the pitch was in there for a call strike to Tommy Davis.
- 1:11:33And as Earl Maddie started to cock his arm, dropped the ball.
- 1:11:38So Mays is at third with two men out and a two-strike count to Davis.
- 1:11:51We're in the top half of the fourth inning, no score.
- 1:11:54Mays bluffs the start and here's a pitch blown away.
- 1:11:57Almost getting by but Maddie managed to dig it up.
- 1:12:01One ball and two strikes.
- 1:12:04Everyone broke way outside, blown away and Earl Maddie the catcher had to reach far over.
- 1:12:10Willie Mays had bluffed the start down the line from third on the pitch.
- 1:12:24Again, Camilo Pascual has the sign working straight away.
- 1:12:26Now the one-two pitch cut on and fouled off.
- 1:12:29He's still alive at one and two.
- 1:12:34Tommy Davis in his first All-Star game in his third year with the Dodgers blossomed in the stardom this season.
- 1:12:40He bats clean up in the batting order for manager Walter Alston's Los Angeles Dodgers.
- 1:12:48Here at the All-Star break the Dodgers of course are on top in the National League standings,
- 1:12:52one-half game ahead of the second place San Francisco Giants.
- 1:12:56There's a pitch hit on the handle and booped out the shortstop taken by a reach, a parecio there for the out.
- 1:13:02So Tommy Davis in a blooper taken by a parecio and so on the top of the fourth the National League got no runs on one hit,
- 1:13:10no errors and one lift and at the end of three and a half innings the score is National League nothing, American League nothing.
- 1:13:17Well of course every team is represented here and the New York Mets are represented by star outfielder Richie Ashburn.
- 1:13:24I see a lot of Richie of course because he's with my home team, the Mets,
- 1:13:27and here's what he said to me in the clubhouse a few days ago while shaving.
- 1:13:31Every time you get to talking about shaving Lindsay you're bound to hear about Super Blue Blades.
- 1:13:35Yes Richie they are pretty popular all right.
- 1:13:38After I first tried one it was the only blade for me.
- 1:13:41Millions upon millions throughout the free world agree with Richie.
- 1:13:45Gillette Super Blue Blades give you an experience in shaving comfort you'll never forget.
- 1:13:50Fast clean shave with so little effort is all but incredible.
- 1:13:54Super Blues have double edges for extra convenience and extra saving.
- 1:13:58It is produced by a unique engineering process that is Gillette's alone.
- 1:14:02They're so keen and smooth you'll find it hard to believe there's a blade in your razor.
- 1:14:06A dispenser of Super Blue Blades is included with the new Gillette's Slim Adjustable Razor.
- 1:14:11The first adjustable ever at the low low price of only a dollar fifty.
- 1:14:16Or the blades alone are ten for sixty nine cents and fifteen for a dollar.
- 1:14:21Try them soon won't you? You'll feel a big difference in easy shaving.
- 1:14:30Juan Marichal has come into the ball game.
- 1:14:34Now to pitch for the National League Don Drysdale having pitched his three innings giving up no runs on one hip struck out three and walked one.
- 1:14:41And the twenty four year old right hander of the San Francisco Giants has come on now.
- 1:14:45Juan Marichal with a season's record of eleven victories and five losses.
- 1:14:49And here in the bottom half of the fifth inning he will face Roger Maris, Mickey Madeline, Jim Gentile.
- 1:14:54This is Lindsay Nelson with John McClain at the thirty second All-Star Game in Washington D.C.
- 1:15:01Maris has been up one time he struck out swinging.
- 1:15:07Marichal with the pitch swung on and now to fly ball deep to left center field chasing it over to Willie Mays,
- 1:15:12pounce the glove and makes the catch at the edge of the warning track in left center field.
- 1:15:19Willie Mays ranging across and pounded the glove on the way and if you watch Willie over the years when he pounded the glove on the way
- 1:15:24it's a pretty good indication that he thinks he's going to make the catch and usually he does as he did.
- 1:15:33One away Mickey Madeline coming up he has been up one time and was called out on strikes.
- 1:15:37So far this has been a pitcher's All-Star Game. No score here in the bottom half of the fourth inning.
- 1:15:44National League All-Stars have two hits and the American League All-Stars have one.
- 1:15:49Luis Sapericio with a triple off Don Drysdale the only American League hit to this point.
- 1:15:58Mickey Madeline had the highest batting average in the starting lineup hitting three thirty three and the only other three hundred hitter
- 1:16:03was Rich Rollins at three eighteen in the American League starting lineup. That pitch is high.
- 1:16:09Ball one to Madeline.
- 1:16:18Maraschel kicks and fires on its outside for a ball two and all.
- 1:16:28The President of the United States in attendance here this afternoon he made his entry through the dugout through the American League dugout
- 1:16:34just before the start of the ball game. Vice President Lyndon Johnson is here as well.
- 1:16:39Two and all pitch is inside. It's three balls and no strikes to Mickey Madeline.
- 1:16:47Starslugger of the New York Yankees.
- 1:16:51Of course at the time of this All-Star break the New York Yankees are on top in the American League standings.
- 1:16:57One game ahead of the second place Cleveland Indians.
- 1:17:03That is a pitch high and he has walked Madeline on four pitch balls.
- 1:17:09That is the second walk issued to the American League All-Stars today.
- 1:17:12It gives him a baserunner at first and Jim Gentile coming up and we are going to have now a pitch runner from Madeline.
- 1:17:21It's going to be Rocky Colavito.
- 1:17:23Rocky Colavito is coming in to run from Mantle. Mantle is out of the ball game.
- 1:17:29And it is a good bet that Colavito was staying in the ball game in left field and that Leon Wagner will be moved over to right next inning.
- 1:17:39Colavito of the Detroit Tigers running for Mickey Mantle at first base.
- 1:17:43Jim Gentile a left hand batter waiting for a pitch and it's on the way.
- 1:17:47Swung on and popped a foul. Back of the National League dugout.
- 1:17:52Mickey Vernon the manager of the Washington Senators is coaching at first base this afternoon for the American League All-Stars.
- 1:17:58And Billy Hitchcock the manager of the Baltimore Orioles is coaching at third base.
- 1:18:13Here's a pitch run and missed for strike two.
- 1:18:16Jim Gentile took a riff at that one.
- 1:18:28Gentile walked in the bottom half of the second inning.
- 1:18:31He's the only previous appearance at the plate in this ball game.
- 1:18:34Colavito leads out the bag at first and there's a pitch high for ball.
- 1:18:37No attempt being made by first baseman Orlando Cepeda to hold the runner on it first.
- 1:18:54Marischal into the stretch position.
- 1:18:58And the one-two pitch to Gentile. Cut on and popped up into left field.
- 1:19:02Tommy Davis is called for it. Has the sunglasses snapped down.
- 1:19:05He waits and Tommy Davis makes the catch for the out.
- 1:19:08Halfway on the fly ball to left Rocky Colavito returns to the bag at first.
- 1:19:13Two away. Colavito still at first and Leon Wagner is coming up.
- 1:19:18Slugging left fielder of the Los Angeles Angels. Actually he's played left and right.
- 1:19:23Playing of course under Bill Rigney at Los Angeles.
- 1:19:26Rigney managed him when both were with the San Francisco Giants.
- 1:19:30He's been up one time in this game and hit into a force play.
- 1:19:34That pitch is high and away for a ball.
- 1:19:42Leon Wagner of course was delighted when he learned that he was going to be the third man in an all-star high field of Mantle, Marischal and Wagner.
- 1:19:54He watches high and away. It's ball two.
- 1:20:14Marischal with the pitch. Cut on and fouled up into the stands and out of play.
- 1:20:25On deck now for the American League All-Stars is Earl Batty wearing a special protective face guard attached to the helmet.
- 1:20:37Marischal into the stretch position.
- 1:20:40And he leads it first. The 2-1 pitch is low for a ball. It's 3-1.
- 1:20:46Whenever you think of pitchers in all-star games of course you must think of Carl Hubbell at the Polo Grounds in 1934 when he authored one of the greatest pitching feats in all-star history.
- 1:20:56Striking out in succession, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Fox, Al Summitt and Joe Cronin.
- 1:21:03Marischal with a 3-1 pitch. Letter pitch swung on and fouled on the left field line chased down there by Ken Boyer.
- 1:21:10And he is there and he makes the catch in foul territory for the odds that retires the side.
- 1:21:14So Wagner has fouled out and in the bottom of the fourth the American League All-Stars get no runs on, no hits, no errors in one left.
- 1:21:20And so at the end of four innings the score is the National League nothing, the American League nothing.
- 1:21:26One of the big ball players in this game of course, Tommy Davis, who has blossomed into a real start in this season.
- 1:21:32Tommy's big news and when he's being interviewed it's hard to get a question in edgewise but I did. Listen.
- 1:21:38Tommy have you tried the new Gillette Slim Adjustable Razor yet?
- 1:21:41Yeah, Lindsay. Been using one a couple of weeks now. I sure like the way it handles. Real easy shaving.
- 1:21:47It's a safe bet you'll go along with Tommy when you try the Gillette Slim Adjustable Razor.
- 1:21:52It sells for the low, low price of only $1.50, a real saving.
- 1:21:57If that's just part of the news about the Slim Adjustable, it's streamlined from head to handle.
- 1:22:02Lighter, longer for better balance, slimmer too for hard to shave spots under the nose and chin.
- 1:22:08One of nine different settings on its exclusive micrometer dial is exactly right for your combination of skin and beard.
- 1:22:15With it you get a dispenser of Gillette Super Blue Blades. They're double-edged for economy, so keen and easy shaving you hardly know there's a blade in your razor.
- 1:22:24Look for the new Gillette Slim Adjustable Razor at a nearby store. Only $1.50, the lowest price ever for an adjustable razor.
- 1:22:39And now for the American League, Rocky Colavito has gone into the ballgame in left field and Leon Wagner has moved over to right.
- 1:22:47And Leon Wagner has moved over to right.
- 1:22:51So if you're keeping a scorecard, put Colavito into left field and Leon Wagner into right field.
- 1:22:58Colavito, of course, will bat number four in the batting order in Mickey Mantle's place in the American League batting order.
- 1:23:05Right now, Ken Boyer, St. Louis Cardinal third baseman, is up.
- 1:23:09There's a swing and a foul ball. Back out of play for strike one.
- 1:23:21Boyer's been up one time and he's struck out swinging.
- 1:23:30A perfect baseball afternoon here at District of Columbia Stadium. Low humidity, sunny and completely clear and comparatively cool.
- 1:23:40Pitch is swung in as the ground ball is short. Luis Aparicio on a big hop, wings it across to Gentile in time and Boyer has grounded out short to first.
- 1:23:49One away and that'll bring up Darrell Crandell. The American League nothing, the National League nothing.
- 1:23:55And we're in the top half of the fifth inning. Crandell has been up one time and he flied out to left field.
- 1:24:05Speaking a moment ago as we were about the five strikeouts by Hubbell, strangely enough, the National League did not win that game.
- 1:24:11Despite the great feat by Hubbell, the American League won that ball game in 1934.
- 1:24:18Pitch is in there for a call strike. Of course the All-Star series has been a series of tremendous baseball feats as you would figure with the very best in the game competing.
- 1:24:31Strike one pitch, swung on and fouled off. It's strike two to Crandell.
- 1:24:35The summer's second All-Star game will be played at Wrigley Field in Chicago on July 30th.
- 1:24:50The President of the United States having quite a time now watching Casey Stengel on the coaching lines at first base.
- 1:24:59Here's a two strike, kind of curve ball that comes in high and it's one and two.
- 1:25:02We were asking Casey before the ball game when he was last on the coaching lines.
- 1:25:06He said in Boston when he managed the Braves and he said, I had a piece of the club so actually I came out on the lines to count the house.
- 1:25:18One and two of the count to Dale Crandell.
- 1:25:29Pasquale with the pitch, swung on as a little number right back to Camilo Pasquale.
- 1:25:33He gloves it, fires over to first end time to get Crandell.
- 1:25:37Grinding out Pitcher to first, two away, nobody on for the National League and Bill Maserowski coming up batting number eight in the National League batting order.
- 1:25:45Second baseman to the Pittsburgh Pirates and everybody remembers what Bill Maserowski is most noted for in his career.
- 1:25:52In the seventh game of the World Series in 1960 against the New York Yankees he hit a home run in the bottom half of the ninth inning to win the World Championship for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
- 1:26:01He's been up one time in this ball game, fly to left. Ducks under a curve ball, takes it high, ball one.
- 1:26:17In the late innings of the ball game we can expect all sorts of changes to be made. Of course there's a pitch missing outside, it's ball two.
- 1:26:24Both manager Ralph Hawke and manager Fred Hutchinson said yesterday at a press conference that they like to get as many ball players in the game as possible.
- 1:26:31It's a great honor to play in the game and they hate to see ball players come a great distance and sit on the bench.
- 1:26:36However, this is a scoreless ball game. Here's a swing and a pop out toward second.
- 1:26:41Aparicio moves over and takes it just behind Billy Moran. Aparicio taking it in short center and so Camilo Pascual got the National League out in order with no runs on, no hits, no errors and nobody left.
- 1:26:52And so at the end of four and a half innings the score is the National League all-stars nothing, the American League all-stars nothing.
- 1:27:01The first half of today's game was brought to you by the Gillette Safety Razor Company. The second half of today's game is brought to you by the Chrysler Corporation.
- 1:27:11If you're looking for value, look twice at Valiant during All-Star Value Days.
- 1:27:18Fun time, summer time, best time to buy, best time to drive a new Valiant, a new Valiant.
- 1:27:27Right now you'll save plenty on Valiant, America's most rugged compact during All-Star Value Days from Chrysler Corporation.
- 1:27:35Valiant is priced less than most other compacts and low price is just the beginning. You'll keep on saving when you drive a Valiant.
- 1:27:43Its sizzling Slant Six engine gives you a lot more action on a lot less gas.
- 1:27:47Valiant won its class in the recent mobile gas economy run and you save again with Valiant's battery saving alternator.
- 1:27:54The alternator keeps the kick in your battery when others are cocking up. It's another first on all Chrysler Corporation cars.
- 1:28:01Further proof that nobody beats Valiant for value. See your dealer now. Nobody will beat the trade you'll get on Valiant during All-Star Value Days.
- 1:28:11Going out of the bottom half of the fifth and it is my pleasure to introduce your play-by-play announcer for the second half of today's game,
- 1:28:17the voice of the Washington Senators who feels right at home here at D.C. Stadium, John McLean.
- 1:28:22Thank you very much, Lindsay, and hello again everybody.
- 1:28:25Earl Batty, the catcher, leads off against right-hander Juan Maréchal of the Giants who kicks high and throws overhand and misses outside.
- 1:28:32Fastball on the way and it's one and nothing.
- 1:28:35Batty has been up once and grounded into a double play.
- 1:28:38A fine-feeling play by Sepeda.
- 1:28:41The pitch coming is hit down the right-field line, twisting out foul.
- 1:28:46Racing for it, Sepeda. Mazurowski-Quimetti coming over. They can't get it. It lands untouched.
- 1:28:51On the box, seed railing. He hit right field.
- 1:28:55Ball one and strike one to Earl Batty.
- 1:28:58Lindsay made reference to the special face guard that Earl Batty wears. American League fans are very familiar with it.
- 1:29:05Batty, twice in his Major League career, has been hit by pitched balls.
- 1:29:09He was advised by the doctors that he should protect the left temple to keep from being injured seriously.
- 1:29:17The pitch to him is a high curve for a ball. It's two and one.
- 1:29:21Ball two and strike one. Activity starting in the National League.
- 1:29:26All-star bullpen Bob Perkey of the Cincinnati Reds, a right-hander working.
- 1:29:31Maréchal pumps twice this time. Kicks and throws. Fastball hits to right field.
- 1:29:36Backing is the right-fielder Quimetti. He's got it and there's one out.
- 1:29:41Batty sliced a line drive to right field. Roberto Quimetti of the Pirates drifted back easily and took it for the up.
- 1:29:50And now here is little Louie, Luis Aparicio of the White Sox, the American League All-Star shortstop.
- 1:29:57He has the American League's only base hit this afternoon, a triple hit into the alley between Quimetti and Mays, all the way to the fence in right center field.
- 1:30:09The 26 came off Drysdale with nobody out, but Drysdale got the next three.
- 1:30:13Pitch from Maréchal is high outside. Sidearm pitch that time from Maréchal and it's one and nothing.
- 1:30:20The outfield plays Aparicio straight away. The infield is one left and up a step in deference to Louie's great speed.
- 1:30:27Here's the pitch coming. Outside high, a fastball missed and it's two and nothing.
- 1:30:34Ball two and no strikes, no score in the game. Last half of inning number five at beautiful D.C. Stadium in the nation's capital.
- 1:30:42The 2-0 pitch on its way. Fastball accidentally fouled, slicing into the lower stands to the right of the screen.
- 1:30:49Ball two and strike one, McCuff. Aparicio is trying to get the bat out of the way and it's sliced foul into the lower stand.
- 1:30:59Ball two and strike one, McCuff. Fetcher pass foul, the UF next. Here's the pitch.
- 1:31:06Ground ball hit sharply to the shortstop. Drogh is up with a throw to first end time. Aparicio is up by three steps.
- 1:31:13Two down now for the American League in the fifth inning.
- 1:31:20And in a strollous ball game, pass foul is a good bat freestyle in the fifth inning.
- 1:31:30That pass foul is a good hitting pitcher. And the bat's with two off and the base is empty in the last half of the fifth inning.
- 1:31:41Only three hits in the game as the pitchers have been in command. Two by the national, one by the American.
- 1:31:47Aparicio's delivery hit on the ground sharply, pass them out. They caught the grope. The shorty throws to first.
- 1:31:53Pass foul is out and the side's retired in order. For the American League All-Stars in the fifth inning, no runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left on.
- 1:32:01And so at the end of the fifth inning, the score is National League All-Stars nothing, American League All-Stars nothing.
- 1:32:09Hey, friend, can I borrow your field glasses?
- 1:32:12Sure.
- 1:32:13Here you are. What's going on?
- 1:32:15I want to check the price of that Plymouth Savoy on the billboard in center field.
- 1:32:19No.
- 1:32:21It can't be.
- 1:32:23Well, what is it?
- 1:32:252206.
- 1:32:27Let me see those glasses.
- 1:32:29You must be looking at the scoreboard.
- 1:32:31That's the right price, my friend. 2206. And right now you can get a low-price high-trade deal on all Plymouths during All-Star Value Days.
- 1:32:40And the low price includes the famous built-in value from Chrysler Corporation.
- 1:32:44Unibody Construction, the battery-saving alternator, 32,000 miles between major loop jobs.
- 1:32:50You'll get the buy of the year on a Plymouth Savoy during All-Star Value Days.
- 1:32:54Only 2206, based on manufacturer-suggested retail price, exclusive of destination charges.
- 1:33:01You were right, buddy. That Plymouth's only 2206.
- 1:33:11Well, here he comes. Stan the Man, Ucio, is going to bat for one hundred shawls.
- 1:33:16And there's the roar from the crowd before Ucio is even introduced.
- 1:33:34Ucio, the granddaddy of them all in All-Star competition, 19 All-Star games.
- 1:33:41For Stan Ucio, as he bats against Camilla Pasquale, the leadoff at the top of the sixth inning,
- 1:33:47takes a call strike as Pasquale barreled a fastball through at the knees, nothing in one.
- 1:33:54Stan, at the age of 41, getting 330 in regular season plays.
- 1:34:00At the first of the knees, he takes a curve over, strikes to call.
- 1:34:04Pasquale cheered up beautifully that time and had his leadoff curve on the outside corner above the knees.
- 1:34:10So, Ucio batting for Marischal is behind nothing and two in the top of the sixth inning.
- 1:34:18Nationally, all stars, the American league all stars, no score.
- 1:34:23Ucio, a little while in the easy motion, kicks and throws, there's a right side,
- 1:34:30takes it to right field, strikes it by Ucio.
- 1:34:35And we've got a runner now for Stan Ucio.
- 1:34:39Mary Will, the Los Angeles Dodgers, is trying to third base and hits a home run for the first time.
- 1:34:53So, Stan Ucio delivers with a leadoff single, hit number three with the answer to all stars.
- 1:35:00And Marty Will, the Dodgers, is running for the U.S. first base.
- 1:35:05And keep an eye on this fellow, he has stolen 46 bases in the National League this year,
- 1:35:11and he's a Washington boy.
- 1:35:15Shortstop, Dick Grode, a good hit and run man at the plate,
- 1:35:18and with Wills who can fly at first and nobody out,
- 1:35:21Pasquale will have to keep an eye on Marty Wills.
- 1:35:24Jenseel holding tight to the bag to set the pitch coming a bluff front by Grode, a strike call by plate umpire, Ed Hurley.
- 1:35:31Grode squared around his empty button and took a breaking ball on the outside corner for a strike.
- 1:35:38The outfield shading Grode, chart right, even though he's a right-hand batter, they do not claim to pull.
- 1:35:43The infield is up a step, Rollins into the edge of the intergrass at third, looking for the button.
- 1:35:48Pasquale ready, there goes Wills, the pitch is hung on and missed, and Daddy makes no throw to second base.
- 1:35:53It's a clean steal by Marty Wills.
- 1:35:57Swing to protect the runner, lost his bat and threw it past the on-deck hitter, Bob Clemente.
- 1:36:04Wills got a tremendous jump on Camillo Pasquale, and Earl Batty saw that he had no chance, no point in throwing.
- 1:36:13A steal of second by Marty Wills with nobody out and a two-strike count to Dick Grode.
- 1:36:22Grode is 0-2, he's grounded the short, grounded the third. Pasquale's pitch curveball placed foul out of play.
- 1:36:28Down the right-field side, two strikes, the count to Dick Grode.
- 1:36:37The big hole in the outfield against Grode is in left center.
- 1:36:44Dick hits out of an overly close stance, chokes up on the bat a couple of inches.
- 1:36:51Marty Wills at second base with nobody out. Top of the sixth, no score.
- 1:36:56Pasquale ready, rocks and throws a foul as Grode was trying to go to right field with the ball.
- 1:37:01Swung late and just nicked it foul.
- 1:37:04In the American League bullpen is the Cleveland Indians' ace right-hander, Dick Donovan.
- 1:37:10Bob Perkey of the Cincinnati Reds and the National League All-Stars heating up in the visiting bullpen.
- 1:37:18Two strikes to Dick Grode, no score. Four hits in the game.
- 1:37:22The National has three, the American League has one.
- 1:37:27Pasquale pitching with Wills at second base.
- 1:37:30Nobody out, two-strike pitch coming to Grode.
- 1:37:32Swing on, hit up the middle, makes it on into center field.
- 1:37:35Around third, back to the plate is Wills and the National League lead 1-0.
- 1:37:44Dick Grode rounds a Jack Singles through the box to the center field, scoring Marty Wills from second base.
- 1:37:52For the first round of the ball game, breaking the Scarlet's deadlock, it's the National League All-Stars 1, the American League All-Stars nothing.
- 1:38:00And here is Bob Clemente, who has two of the National League's total of four hits.
- 1:38:06Dick Grode now steps off first base. His time is called to talk to Casey Stengel.
- 1:38:17Stengel points toward the National League All-Star dugout, indicating to Grode, young man, get your sign for Mr. Hutchinson.
- 1:38:27Jim Jenfield holding against the runner Grode at first.
- 1:38:31Clemente doubled to right in the first. He's single to left in the fourth inning.
- 1:38:35Hit by Pasquale, the pitch is inside. Get high, Pasquale, ball one.
- 1:38:41Clemente stepped back out of the batter's box and gave Pasquale plenty of room at the plate, but Camillo missed inside.
- 1:38:491-0 to God, it's 1-0 National League leading.
- 1:38:53Yuzio batted for Marischal and Singles. Wills ran for it and stole second.
- 1:38:58And then Grode Singles on a two-strike pitch on the ground in the center field to get Wills home easily.
- 1:39:04Pasquale, deliberate worker, sets at the waist and throws.
- 1:39:08Good ball, hit can't be, throw a hole in the left field of base hit.
- 1:39:11Grode is down to second, ground second and holds as Calovito comes up with the ball.
- 1:39:15And there are two on with nobody out for the National League.
- 1:39:19A run is in and three straight singles off Pasquale.
- 1:39:26And that is Bob Clemente's third straight hit.
- 1:39:30A double and two singles. And all Pasquale has to do now is pitch to Willie Mays with runners at first and second and nobody out.
- 1:39:40Mays has fouled at first and won.
- 1:39:46He turns now and looks into the National League dugout.
- 1:39:52Bob Clemente at first base, Nick Grode at second base, the National League All-Stars lead 1-0.
- 1:39:58Top half of the sixth inning at D.C. Stadium in Washington.
- 1:40:02Pasquale has his sign from Batty. He delivers to Mays who swings and drives it into the center field.
- 1:40:07Backing is Mays, still backing, it's a warning flag. He's got it.
- 1:40:11Putting out, tagging his second, moving to third, is Grode tagging his first, drive to second, is Clemente.
- 1:40:18A play ball hit over 400 feet to strike away center field by Willie Mays.
- 1:40:23It's hot at the base of the fence by Roger Maris, but the ball was hit so deep that Grode, the runner at second, tagged easily and moved to third.
- 1:40:33And Clemente took second after the catch.
- 1:40:41That'll bring up Orlando Cepeda, the first baseman who was fouled to the catcher and struck out into a double play with runners at second and third in the fourth inning.
- 1:40:52A 3-2 pitch to Cepeda. Pasquale struck him out swinging and Batty threw out Clemente at third base.
- 1:41:00Cepeda ducks under a high curve, ball one.
- 1:41:06Most American League observers agree that Pasquale has just about the finest curveball seen in the league since the heyday of Tommy Bridges from the Detroit Tigers.
- 1:41:17The infield is drawn in now for play at the plate. Cepeda swings, it's a slow tap, short third, cut off by Rollins.
- 1:41:22He has to go to first to get Cepeda the run scores, and on to third moves Bob Clemente.
- 1:41:28A slow trickler, short shortstop that was cut off by the third baseman Rich Rollins.
- 1:41:34His only play was at first base to get Cepeda, with Grode scoring from third the second run of the ball game, and Clemente moving from second to third.
- 1:41:44It's a run batted in for Cepeda. The National League All-Stars have Clemente at third base with two out, two runs are in, and it's two nothing the National League All-Stars leading.
- 1:42:04The batter is Tommy Davis of the Los Angeles Dodgers. He takes a curve outside low, ball one.
- 1:42:10Davis has flied to center and popped a short. He is 0 for 2. Two nothing the National League All-Stars lead.
- 1:42:20Top of the sixth running, Pasquale kicks and throws, a ground ball hit toward the hole. Beautiful stop by Rollins, he throws to first.
- 1:42:26Davis is out of fine play by rookie third baseman Rich Rollins of the Minnesota Twins.
- 1:42:32One of the sixth running, the National League All-Stars score two runs on three hits. There were no American League All-Stars errors. One runner left on for the Nationals.
- 1:42:40And after five and one half innings of play, the score is the National League All-Stars 2, the American League All-Stars nothing.
- 1:42:48If you're looking for value, look twice at Valiant during All-Star Value Day.
- 1:42:56Fun times, summer times, best time to buy, best time to drive a new Valiant, a new Valiant.
- 1:43:04Right now you'll save plenty on Valiant, America's most rugged compact, during All-Star Value Days from Chrysler Corporation.
- 1:43:12Valiant is priced less than most other compacts, and low price is just the beginning. You'll keep on saving when you drive a Valiant.
- 1:43:20Its sizzling Slant-6 engine gives you a lot more action on a lot less gas. Valiant won its class in the recent mobile gas economy run.
- 1:43:28And you save again with Valiant's battery-saving alternator. The alternator keeps the kick in your battery when others are cocking up.
- 1:43:36It's another first on all Chrysler Corporation cars. Further proof that nobody beats Valiant for value.
- 1:43:42See your dealer now. Nobody will beat the trade you'll get on Valiant during All-Star Value Days.
- 1:43:48The National League All-Star manager, Freddie Hutchinson of the Cincinnati Reds, making changes now.
- 1:43:54We have a complete new infield for the National League stars. Ernie Banks of the Chicago Cubs is at first base.
- 1:44:02Frank Boling of the Milwaukee Braves at second base. Jim Davenport of the San Francisco Giants at third base.
- 1:44:09Maury Will of the Los Angeles Dodgers at shortstop. In the outfield, Felipe Alou has gone to right, replacing Bob Clemente.
- 1:44:19Mays remains in center and Tom Davis in left. The new pitcher for the National League All-Star, the East-Right Ender of the Cincinnati Reds, Bob Ferchi.
- 1:44:30The announcement of the changes over the public address system now. Wills, who would end a run for Musial, who had batted for the pitcher, will have to bat number nine.
- 1:44:47Now it will depend on the manager Hutchinson where he wants to bat his pitcher, Bob Ferchi.
- 1:44:57Juan Mauricio of the Giants went suiting, giving up no runs, no hits. Juan Juan, no strikeouts.
- 1:45:09So Ferchi is the new pitcher. Crandall is still the catcher.
- 1:45:20Ferchi has a record of 13 wins and one defeat. With a nerd run average of 2.55 from Pittsburgh, Ferchi will soon be 33 years old and stands 6'2", 195.
- 1:45:45So we'll check and as soon as we find out the batting order, where pitcher Ferchi bats, we'll let you know.
- 1:45:51Rollins swings on the first pitch, hits a looper over the head of the first baseman Banks down the right field line, a base hit.
- 1:45:56Ernie running it down and Rollins is on with a blue single down the right field line.
- 1:46:07So Rollins greets Bob Ferchi with a broken bat Texas League single down the right field line. Hit number one on Ferchi and only the second hit in the game for the American League All-Stars.
- 1:46:20That will bring on second baseman Billy Moran with Rollins at first. Rollins had been hit by a pitch and popped a second prior to his single.
- 1:46:29Moran has flied to right and struck up. The infield against him, a double play depth.
- 1:46:34Bob Ferchi, a towering right-hander, checks the runner and delivers to Moran at the plate.
- 1:46:39A line for the left center fielder, that's going to be it for a big hit.
- 1:46:42Around second, headed for third is Rollins and holding with a long single into the left center fielder, that is Billy Moran at the American League strikeback.
- 1:46:50As they get the first two men on, here on the 6'30", a single by Rollins and a single by Moran.
- 1:46:57What fires at the corner is with nobody out and brings to the plate Rod Gimaras, the center fielder from the New York Yankees who has gone over two, struck out in the first inning and chased Mays deep to the warning track in left center for his fly ball in the fourth inning.
- 1:47:16Two to nothing, the next league All-Stars lead it. Two runs on five hits for the Nationals. No runs, three hits for the Americans.
- 1:47:25The headfield is back, hoping to come up with a double play. They'll give up the run to get the double play. Ferchi to the set, he throws, bowels straight back for his strike and it's nothing in one.
- 1:47:40One strike to gov. Nick Donovan continues to work for the American League All-Stars and now we're going to get another pitcher going in the National League All-Star bullpen.
- 1:47:52Maris is back for the one strike gov. It's Bob Gibson in the National League bullpen.
- 1:48:00Rollins at third, Moran at first, nobody out. Tying runs are on. The pitch to Maris is outside a breaking ball. One ball, one strike.
- 1:48:12Ferchi has been a tremendous pitcher for Freddie Hutchinson, Cincinnati Reds this year. Throws a lot of breaking pitches, a knuckle ball. Usually will waste the fast ball.
- 1:48:25Once in a while he'll try to slip it past you. Here's the pitch to Maris. There's a drive deep in the right center field. Mays breaking back to 18. He's at the fence. He jumps, he grabs and it's really up.
- 1:48:36Hanging at third and scoring is Rollins and all the way to second, Moran as the hot way back to first. A great leading catch by Willie Mays.
- 1:48:45Against the top of the wire fence in right center field.
- 1:48:54Back to the fight line. No time at bat for Ferris and a run back and in. As Rollins shorties slowly after the catch, Moran was all the way to second on the hurry back to third.
- 1:49:06And with that catch, President Kelly was on his feet. A great pass by Willie Mays to the right of a 410 foot sign, hit by Rod Jimenez.
- 1:49:17And there's Rocky Colabito at the back for the first time. He went in to run for Mickey Maddow in the fourth inning and then took over in left field with Leon Wagner moving to right.
- 1:49:28Maris still hobbled by leg injury. Check by Perky. The pitch to Colabito.
- 1:49:33The drive ball back to the box. Perky falls down, picks it up, throws to first to get Colabito and on to second goes Willie Moran. Colabito in a smash to the box. Perky fell down, feeling the ball.
- 1:49:47Had to get up and chase his charge second base. Threw quickly to first to get Colabito. On to second, both Willie Moran and the American the Golf stars now have a tying run at second with two outs.
- 1:49:59And Dallas Randall is going out to talk to Bob Perky at the mom.
- 1:50:05Well, after being a very quiet ball game for the first five innings, suddenly this one has erupted.
- 1:50:13The National League scoring two in the sixth. The American League coming up with a run in their half of the sixth inning.
- 1:50:19We have Jim Gentile at the plate with Moran, the tying run at second base. Gentile walked in the second, he flied to left in the fourth inning.
- 1:50:30Perky to the set position, he throws. Inside at the knees. Pass ball to Gentile, ball one.
- 1:50:38Infield, shading Gentile deep toward right. Yawning gap between Mays, shaded into right center and Tommy Davis straight away and left.
- 1:50:50The infield is deep toward right. Perky checks Moran at second and delivers inside low. A curve ball under the knees, ball two, no strikes to Gentile.
- 1:51:02Ernie Banks, the National League All-Star first baseman, is only about a step and a half off the foul line and almost pulled back to the rim of the outfield grass.
- 1:51:13Balling at second is at the beginning of the outfield grass. The shortstop will almost directly behind the runner Billy Moran at second.
- 1:51:22Two and 0 and the pitch coming to Gentile. Inside and it's fouled as Gentile tried to get out of the way of an inside fastball.
- 1:51:31It nicked the bat foul, skipping onto the base of the screen. It's ball two and strike one now to Jim Gentile.
- 1:51:42For the moment at least, Woody Mays has saved the National League with a tremendous leaping catch against the fence in right center field.
- 1:51:53Ball two and strike one to Gentile. Wills slipping in behind Moran, the runner at second, flopping in close. The pitch, check, swing, strike two. Call to Jim Gentile.
- 1:52:04Gentile started to go on a high outside fastball. Checked his swing but the pitch was over anyways, said Ed Hurley, the playdump player.
- 1:52:15And it's ball two and strike two. Perky and Prandtl, the National League battery, Banks at first, balling at second, Davenport at third, Wills at short.
- 1:52:24Tom Davison left and Mays in center. Teddy Thalu in right. Perky ready, 2-2 pitch. The knuckleball is strike three called and Gentile is not looking.
- 1:52:37So Perky strikes out Gentile to wrap it up in the sixth inning with the American League All-Stars pick up a run on two hits. No National League errors, one runner left on.
- 1:52:48And so at the end of the sixth inning, the score is National League All-Stars 2, the American League All-Stars 1.
- 1:52:55Chrysler is going great and making great news wherever it goes. And one of the newsmakers, the red-blooded Chrysler 300.
- 1:53:02It's easy to own this direct descendant of the famous sports series. During All-Star Value Days you'll get the kind of trade that lets you move up to Chrysler quality.
- 1:53:10See your Chrysler dealer now. You'll enjoy the luxury and power of the 300. And there are no junior additions in the Chrysler line to cut down your high resale value.
- 1:53:20Test drive the Chrysler 300 during your Chrysler dealer's All-Star Value Days.
- 1:53:26A new pitcher in the ball game, Dickson Gavin of the Cleveland Indians. Replaces to video pass 12, Brooks Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles is playing third base.
- 1:53:41Second base is Bob Richardson of the New York Yankees.
- 1:53:49Now playing center field is Jim Landis of the Chicago Whiteside.
- 1:53:57Colabito remains in left and Leon Wagner in right. John Romano is the catcher now for the American League All-Stars.
- 1:54:11He is Dick Donovan's battery mate at Cleveland. We move to the top of the seventh inning of the 2-1 ball game with the National League All-Stars leading.
- 1:54:20Camillo passed 12 and pitches three innings. He is charged with two runs and four hits.
- 1:54:27He lost one and for high foul he's reached out one minute. So Dick Donovan comes on in the seventh inning.
- 1:54:45First man he will face is Ernie Banks playing at first base batting in Cleats' Ken Boyers' number six spot in the order.
- 1:54:53Donovan delivers a tip foul and it hits Romano on the right kneecap and bounces away. A strike to Ernie Banks.
- 1:55:02The batting order now for the National League leading off Jim Davenport playing third base.
- 1:55:09Batting second, Philippe Ballou the right fielder, Willie Mays remains to game bat third.
- 1:55:15Toucher Bob Turkey is batting fourth in the National League batting order. Tommy Davis remains in left field hitting fifth.
- 1:55:22Ernie Banks playing first base batting sixth. Del Crandall stays in the ball game.
- 1:55:27Frank Bowling at second base batting eighth and Maury Wills with short hits ninth.
- 1:55:31One strike pitch coming to Banks. Swung on grounded sharply foul outside of third.
- 1:55:35Strike two the cup to Ernie Banks.
- 1:55:40Donovan who was with the Washington Senators in 1961 winning 10 and losing 10 was the earned run leader in the American League.
- 1:55:49Traded over to the Indians during the off season in exchange for outfielder Jim Carthall.
- 1:55:55Donovan has been a tremendous pitcher for Cleveland. Banks swings and lines the foul.
- 1:56:00Down stairs in left field and the count stays at two strikes.
- 1:56:05Donovan has a record of 11 wins and three defeats.
- 1:56:09A New Englander from Quincy, Massachusetts.
- 1:56:13Dick is 33, stands sixth three, weighs 205 pounds. These records we are giving you are through July the 1st.
- 1:56:23Two strike pitch coming to Ernie Banks. Keck swing of all down low and it's one and two.
- 1:56:30Four one, strike two, the count to Banks.
- 1:56:35Ernie who has played shortstop many years for the Cubs. Also at third base now seems to have found a home at first base.
- 1:56:46One two pitch coming from Donovan. A ground ball to third.
- 1:56:49Up with it is Brooks Robinson. He throws across to Gentile at first in plenty of time and Banks is up.
- 1:56:56Robinson at third. Throws out Banks at first. And here is Dow Crandall the catcher.
- 1:57:01Dow has gone over two. He flied to left in the second inning and rolled out the pass cloud with a mound in the fifth inning.
- 1:57:08It's the National League All Stars two. The American League All Stars one.
- 1:57:13All runs coming in the sixth inning.
- 1:57:17Two runs on five hits, no errors for the National Leaguers. One run, three hits, no errors for the American League All Stars.
- 1:57:24Donovan kicks and throws a strike called a sinking fastball.
- 1:57:31Hit the outside corner at the knee.
- 1:57:35Donovan has a very pitching assortment, good fastball.
- 1:57:40He is off pitch. He has a hard slider.
- 1:57:45Has excellent control.
- 1:57:48One strike pitch to Crandall. He has lined to right field coming on in a big hurry is Wagner and he makes the catch at the knees for the out.
- 1:57:55Crandall hit a sinking line drive into right field. Leon Wagner getting a jump, charged in and grabbed the ball for the out.
- 1:58:03Two down for the National League All Stars in the seventh inning.
- 1:58:07Second baseman Frank Bowling of the Milwaukee Braves.
- 1:58:14Bowling, the star of second baseman of the Detroit Tigers in the American League for several seasons before being traded over to the Milwaukee Braves a year ago.
- 1:58:26Frank has had a lot of illness problems this year. Takes a called strike.
- 1:58:32Fastball across the knees from Dick Donovan.
- 1:58:40Number 21, the National League All Stars lead it.
- 1:58:44Donovan checking his sign with battery mate John Romano.
- 1:58:48Now into the motion, here's the pitch. Foul at the plate.
- 1:58:52Strike two. Defensively the American League has Donovan on the mound. Romano back at the plate.
- 1:58:58Gentile at first, Richardson at second, Robinson at third, Aparicio at short, Colabito in left, Landis in center and Wagner in right.
- 1:59:08Quiet for the moment, over 45,000 here at the All-Star game.
- 1:59:12Here's the pitch to Bowling. Broken bat pop-up back into shallow left. Aparicio going back, shields his eyes from the side.
- 1:59:18He makes the catch for the out. And that's all for Frank Bowling.
- 1:59:22And the National League All Stars in the seventh inning as they go down in order before Dick Donovan.
- 1:59:27No runs, no hits, no errors. Nobody left on.
- 1:59:30And so at the end of sixth and what happens, the score is the National League All Stars 2, the American League All Stars 1.
- 1:59:36You get excited when you see a home run. You get excited over a new car.
- 1:59:42How about getting a new car for $29.64?
- 1:59:46Well, how about a full-size Chrysler for $29.64?
- 1:59:50Now you're talking.
- 1:59:52It's the Chrysler Newport, still only $29.64.
- 1:59:56It's one big reason why Chrysler is going great and why thousands of motorists are moving up to Chrysler quality.
- 2:00:02Other good reasons, the Newport standard engine delivers 265 horsepower and it uses regular gas.
- 2:00:09Really?
- 2:00:10How about you? If you've been thinking of moving up to Chrysler, now's the time for action during your Chrysler dealer's All Star value days.
- 2:00:18Trading's easy. You'll get a big trade and a great buy.
- 2:00:22Test drive the car that's really going great, the Chrysler Newport.
- 2:00:26Manufacturers suggested retail price exclusive of destination charges, still only $29.64.
- 2:00:33$29.64? That's great!
- 2:00:37Here is the American League batting order now after the changes by All Star manager Ralph Hough.
- 2:00:46Brooks Robinson leads off at third base. Bobby Richardson at second base batting second.
- 2:00:51Jim Landis in center field hitting third. Rocky Colavito bats fourth. Jim Jenteel fifth.
- 2:00:57Leon Wagner, the number six hitter, fields a foul into the upper deck of first base.
- 2:01:03One strike to Leon. John Romano, the catcher, bats seventh.
- 2:01:07Paprizio stays in hitting eighth and the pitcher, Donovan, will bat ninth.
- 2:01:11Wagner is 0-2.
- 2:01:14Rafe Stonoporsod in the second and he fouled the third in the fourth inning.
- 2:01:18Bob Perky ready. He delivers the knuckleball to her and it's one and one.
- 2:01:24Bob Fulfins working now. Milton Pappas, young right-hander, the Baltimore Orioles for the American League.
- 2:01:31And Bob Shaw, the Milwaukee Braves for the National League.
- 2:01:36Perky's knuckler dressed high outside. Ball two, strike one.
- 2:01:43Wagner with 25 homeruns. He became the first American League hitter to hit for the cycle as a homerun in each American League ballpark now.
- 2:01:54Ball three from Perky. Three and one to count. Two to one to score, the National League lead.
- 2:02:02They broke the scoring deadlock with two in their half of the sixth inning. The American League came back with one.
- 2:02:08The defensive gem so far, Mays leaping catch against the top of the fence in deep right centers.
- 2:02:14Three-one offering coming to Wagner. There's a high fly ball hooking foul way back into the upper deck.
- 2:02:22And it's three and two now to Leon Wagner.
- 2:02:28They have said about Yankee Stadium that there never has been and probably never will be a fair ball.
- 2:02:37Get out of there. I doubt that you could even hit a foul ball out of this one. It's so high.
- 2:02:41Three-two to Wagner. Ground ball hit sharply to the second baseman.
- 2:02:44Boling to his right. Up first to first. He's out. And there's one out in the seventh inning.
- 2:02:49Boling at second. Throws out. Leon Wagner at first.
- 2:02:54That'll bring on the catcher, John Romano, the Cleveland Indians.
- 2:03:01Two-to-one National League All-Stars made it. Drysdale's back to the National League.
- 2:03:07Orr-Charl in the fourth. Perky in the sixth inning.
- 2:03:12Jim Budding started for the American Leaguers. Pasquale in the fourth. Dottabon in the seventh.
- 2:03:18A check swing. Rolled a strike to John Romano.
- 2:03:23Romano at bat for the first time today.
- 2:03:27And Bob Perky, side-arming right-hander of Cincinnati.
- 2:03:31Perky swings in motion. He throws the curved ball up around the eyes of Romano.
- 2:03:36Sent John ducking away and it's one and one.
- 2:03:43Ball one and strike one. The count to Romano.
- 2:03:46Two-to-one the score. National League leading.
- 2:03:48Last of the seventh inning with one out and the base is empty.
- 2:03:53Perky swings to his wind-up. Around comes the arm. The knuckleball hits shortly.
- 2:03:57Deep to third. Good stop by Davenport. Jim throws to first and Romano's out by five-steps.
- 2:04:02Davenport at third. Throws out Romano at first.
- 2:04:07Two out in the American League seventh and here's the shortstop.
- 2:04:10Luis Aparicio, one for two, a triple in the third inning.
- 2:04:15Round it up, short to first in the fifth inning.
- 2:04:20And as you might expect from an all-star, any one of these fellows can hit the ball over the fence.
- 2:04:28There's a sharp smash, one hop to bowling.
- 2:04:31Frank has it. He throws on to first. Aparicio is out.
- 2:04:34And it's a strong inning for Bob Perky, setting the American League stars down in order.
- 2:04:39No runs, no hits, no errors. Nobody left.
- 2:04:42And so at the end of the seventh inning, the score is National League all-stars, two American League all-stars, one.
- 2:04:49All-star value days are here from Chrysler Corporation.

- 2:05:52The attendance today at EC Stadium for this All-Star game, 25,480,
- 2:05:59which is about the illicit peak capacity and the largest crowd ever to see a baseball game in this stadium.
- 2:06:07They get more in for football because they had additional seats.
- 2:06:1145,480 paid at DC Stadium today.
- 2:06:16Here is Marty Wills, the shortstop. He runs up to butt, takes high from Dick Donovan, ball one.
- 2:06:23Wills, a switch banner, getting left-handed against the right-hander Dick Donovan.
- 2:06:33Ball on the cob. Donovan swings into these, he winds up, spins and throws.
- 2:06:41There's a pop-fly into shallow left-center field coming out in a hurry.
- 2:06:44Here's Colavito, and he can't get there. The ball drops.
- 2:06:47Aparicio picks it up, throws on to second, and Wills holds at first with a Texas League single in the shallow left field.
- 2:06:54Aparicio went out. Colavito came in. Colavito was calling for the ball.
- 2:07:00He could not catch up to it. It dropped for a single.
- 2:07:03Get number six for the National League All-Stars. They lost it.
- 2:07:07The American League 6-3 on the day. And they lead 2-1 in the top of the eighth inning.
- 2:07:15Third baseman Jim Davenport of the San Francisco Giants.
- 2:07:19One of the great glove men in baseball.
- 2:07:22Batting off, former football star at Mississippi Southern University.
- 2:07:27Donovan checks Wills, delivers as a ground ball through the hole, a base hit to left field.
- 2:07:31Wills around second, and he'll hold there. Colavito throws in behind the runner.
- 2:07:35Wills drives to third to throw to third. He is safe at third.
- 2:07:38Safe at third, and Robinson and Aparicio are good now with the third base up by our Tony Benson of the National League.
- 2:07:51Jim Davenport rounded a single between Aparicio and Robinson to left field.
- 2:07:58Wills made a big turn around second base. Colavito fired in behind the runner to Bobby Richardson.
- 2:08:05Wills broke for third. Richardson threw to Brooks Robinson.
- 2:08:09And the tag play on Wills was not in time. So the National League has a big threat throwing.
- 2:08:15Runners at first and third, nobody out. And the batter, Salip Alou, the right fielder of the San Francisco Giants.
- 2:08:23Donovan checking at first, delivers to Alou, who hits a high fly ball down the right field line.
- 2:08:27Maybe fair, maybe foul. Racing for it is Wagner. It's a foul ball. He makes the catch for the out.
- 2:08:32Here comes Wills to the plate to throw, and he is safe at the plate. He scores.
- 2:08:38But Wills breaks the gutting ball.
- 2:08:48It's a run batted in. Scored as a sacrifice fly for Salip Alou.
- 2:08:54And he will not be charged for the time at bat. On the throw to the plate, Davenport held it first.
- 2:09:05So again, speed was the difference.
- 2:09:09As the ball was hit foul down the right field line, Wagner made a good running grab and a good throw to Romano at the plate.
- 2:09:16But John's diving tag of Wills not in time as Murray split across.
- 2:09:22For the run that makes it, the National League All-Stars 3. The American League All-Stars 1. And here's what he made.
- 2:09:29Once again, the National Leaguers have a two run ball. That is hit number two. Two hits now off Dick Donovan.
- 2:09:37Davenport at first and one out. The pitch is hung on and Mays fell to one knee.
- 2:09:46Well, Willie might not have hit that one out of here if he had connected.
- 2:09:51But he did hit it pretty far. The force of his swing dropped him to one knee.
- 2:09:57One strike to Willie Mays. He's fouled the first. Locked, fly to center. He has also stolen the base.
- 2:10:03The infield is double played up against Mays. He outfield deep toward left.
- 2:10:08Donovan to the set position. Checks Davenport. Delivers outside low.
- 2:10:12Fitching away from Willie now. The count is even at one and one.
- 2:10:18Ball one and strike one to Willie Mays. The National League 3. The American League All-Stars 1.
- 2:10:24This has been quite a ball game before 45,480 days. A D.C. Stadium record for baseball.
- 2:10:33One and one the count. Donovan ready. Sepsum throws there to drive.
- 2:10:37Rips to the backfield. Hooking. Foul. Over the backfield foul deep into the left field corner.
- 2:10:45A long strike two to Willie Mays.
- 2:10:49Willie got out in front of Donovan's curve ball and ripped it.
- 2:10:55But he had it fouled by 15 feet into the left field corner.
- 2:11:01Ball one and strike two to Willie Mays. One and two.
- 2:11:063-1 the score of the National League leading the American League All-Stars.
- 2:11:10Dick Donovan on the mound. And touched up for a run on two hits.
- 2:11:14Here's the pitch to Mays. He reaches for an outside pitch and taps it foul up in the air to the right of the plate.
- 2:11:20Romano the catcher grabs it. The ball not hit too high in the air.
- 2:11:24And Mays, lunging at an outside pitch, popped it up to the catcher Romano in foul territory off toward the American League All-Stars dugout along the first base side.
- 2:11:37So there are two men up. And we're going to get a banner for pitcher Bob Perkey.
- 2:11:46John Callison. Johnny Callison, young left-hand hitting outfielder.
- 2:11:52He's going to bat for the pitcher Bob Perkey.
- 2:11:57Callison for a number of years, an outstanding prospect in the Chicago White Sox minor league organization.
- 2:12:05Traded away a couple of years ago and he's become a good one. Swings on the first pitch and fouls it off.
- 2:12:11Strike one. Bob Shaw, the right-hander of the Milwaukee Braves.
- 2:12:16Well, apparently beyond the pitch for the National League All-Stars in the bottom of the eighth inning.
- 2:12:23The National Lakers have a run in. The lead 3-1. They have Davenport at first base with two men out.
- 2:12:30Callison batting for the pitcher Bob Perkey. Donovan delivers outside a ball and it's one and one.
- 2:12:40Donovan and Callison should know one another. They were teammates together with the Chicago White Sox.
- 2:12:48Ball one and strike one to John Callison. Stocky free-swinging left-hand batter.
- 2:12:57Donovan to the set position. The check of Davenport. The pitch is popped up. Foul.
- 2:13:02Coming back toward the screen. Romano coming back and he can't get it. It lands right on the edge of the screen. Foul.
- 2:13:09So Callison stays alive with a counterball one and strike two.
- 2:13:17John was born in Wallace, Oklahoma.
- 2:13:2323 years old, 5'10", 180 pounder.
- 2:13:30He's developed into the ball player of the White Sox.
- 2:13:34Thought he well might become when they traded him over to the Phillies.
- 2:13:39But the White Sox got Gene Freeze for one in that deal.
- 2:13:44And Freeze, that's in fair years with Chicago.
- 2:13:47A quick swing by Callison as Donovan tied him up with a fastball in on the thumbs and it's two and two.
- 2:13:54Ball two and strike two to John Callison. Batting for the pitcher, Bob Perky.
- 2:14:05Romano sets the signs for Donovan. Check of Davenport. The pitch is going on. Ground ball.
- 2:14:09Base hit pass. Again, field to right field. Around second. Headed to third is Davenport. He'll make it easily. Wagner's throw comes to the cutoff man, Bobby Richardson.
- 2:14:18And the national league now has Callison at first. Davenport at third. Two outs. And the batter is the left fielder, Tom Davis.
- 2:14:29Off Dick Donovan. It is base hit number three.
- 2:14:36Who came into this game today with a batting average of 353.
- 2:14:44While the Los Angeles Dodgers in regular season play has gone over three.
- 2:14:49Swings on the first pitch. It's a high fly to shallow setter. Landis trotting in. Jim is there. Makes the catch.
- 2:14:56The retire the sides for the National League All-Stars in the eighth inning.
- 2:15:00But the National Leaguers pick up a run on three base hits. There were no American League errors. Two runners left on for the National League All-Stars.
- 2:15:08And so at the end of seven and a half innings, the score is the National League All-Stars three, the American League All-Stars one.
- 2:15:19What's so good about the good old summertime dodge? It's one of the quickest cars on the road.
- 2:15:24It gets you to the lake or ball game in nothing flat. Six cylinder or V8, the dark moves with more power than almost any car in its class.
- 2:15:34You get a lot more action on a lot less gas. That makes it fun to drive. And it's plenty roomy for those long weekends or vacation trips.
- 2:15:43So see your Dodge dealer during All-Star value days. Pick a size. Pick a price. Pick Dodge Dart.
- 2:15:51We have a new pitcher in the ball game now for the National League All-Stars.
- 2:16:01Right-hander Bob Shaw of the Milwaukee Braves.
- 2:16:05And the bat for pitcher Dick Donovan will be first baseman Norm Seaborn of the Kansas City Athletics.
- 2:16:12Seaborn, one-time member of the New York Yankees.
- 2:16:20Big left-hand batter wears glasses.
- 2:16:26The American League All-Stars needing two to tie and three to take the lead.
- 2:16:32With two in his left in regulation play.
- 2:16:36Leading off from the bottom of the eighth inning against Shaw, it's Norm Seaborn. Shaw to the windup he delivers.
- 2:16:42Fouls on the ground to the right of the plate, strike one.
- 2:16:47One strike that counts to Norm Seaborn batting for Dick Donovan.
- 2:16:52Milton Tapas of the Orioles is the pitcher warming up in the American League bullpen.
- 2:16:59He will be on the end of the top of the ninth. Pitch to Seaborn.
- 2:17:03Trickle foul, hit him in the foot and roll all the way to Cepeda at first base.
- 2:17:07But the ball was rolled foul immediately by Ed Hurley, the plate umpire.
- 2:17:12The doggy Donatelli of the National League at first base looks at the ball, discovers the scuff mark or shoe polish mark, and throws it out of play.
- 2:17:26The National League got two in the sixth and one in the eighth. The American League won in the sixth inning.
- 2:17:33The outfield against Seaborn is deep toward right.
- 2:17:37Playing with tremendous power, Shaw delivers. Low inside the ball, one and two, breaking ball.
- 2:17:45Shaw, another sinker ball specialist, started off with the Detroit Tiger organization, then dealt to the White Sox on to Kansas City, and then over to Milwaukee last winter.
- 2:17:59Shaw nods in agreement to the sign posted by Del Crandall, swings in motion and delivers.
- 2:18:04Down ball hits sharply wide at first. Banks has it. Robsy's toss to Shaw inside. Seaborn is out.
- 2:18:11And there's one out here in the bottom of the eighth inning.
- 2:18:21That'll bring on Brooks Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles.
- 2:18:24Playing a third base now, Mitch Rollins, sighted. And there's Robinson, first appearance at the right.
- 2:18:35Robinson of the Magic Club. He's strong.
- 2:18:43He has hit 14 home runs for the Orioles this year.
- 2:18:48The outfield shades him slightly toward left and deep. Kenfield set up the same way.
- 2:18:56One out, nobody on. Shaw into the windup. The pitch is a strike call.
- 2:19:01Fast ball hit the outside corner above the knees. Nothing in one account.
- 2:19:06Shaw and Crandall, the battery. Crandall has gone all the way back to the plate for the National League All-Stars.
- 2:19:13And here's the pitch from Shaw. Look out. And that hit Robinson.
- 2:19:19And Robby is setting up at the plate as Shaw decked him with a fast ball.
- 2:19:28And Robinson is showing trainer Joe Soares of the New York Yankees where that ball hit him.
- 2:19:34Ralph House, the American League manager, comes out.
- 2:19:37He appeared to hit Robinson in the vicinity of the left bicep under the shoulder.
- 2:19:44This is a real hummer from Shaw. This got away. Robinson's up.
- 2:19:51He had a batter's box, but the ball hit him.
- 2:19:56Second hit batsman of the day for the American League.
- 2:19:59Rich Rollins was hit by dry sail in the first inning.
- 2:20:04Robinson is all right. On at first, the batter Bobby Richardson of the Yankees swings and pops a foul.
- 2:20:10A lot of play. And behind the American League dugout.
- 2:20:15Again, President Kennedy stands up, keeping a wetter eye out.
- 2:20:24The gentleman down there with a straw hat has a glove seated one seat away from President Kennedy.
- 2:20:33Apparently he has the gloves for the protection of the president.
- 2:20:37Touch to Richardson. A shot drive. One hop to the truck stop.
- 2:20:40Wills goes to bowling out at second. Back to first. Not in time.
- 2:20:44No double play, but forced at second was Brooks Robinson as Laurie Wills went quickly to his right into the hole to pick up the one hop smash off Richardson's bat.
- 2:20:55He whirled and fired the bowling at second for the force out on Brooks Robinson.
- 2:20:59The relay throw to first, not in time to double up the fleet.
- 2:21:04Bobby Richardson and here's Jim Landis for the Chicago White Sox, the back for the first time.
- 2:21:11The pitcher's off record right now. The win would go to Juan Mari Chau of the San Francisco Giants.
- 2:21:18The loss would be charged to Camilo Pasqual of the Minnesota Twins.
- 2:21:24Nationally, the golf stars lead it 3-1.
- 2:21:26Bottom of the eighth inning, Landis represents the tying run at the plate.
- 2:21:30He swings and slices a foul down the right field line. Thanksgiving chase.
- 2:21:34And he won't get it. It's 20 rows back in the seats.
- 2:21:39In the event you missed it, 45,480. The biggest crowd ever to see a baseball game in D.C. Stadium.
- 2:21:48They had upwards of 44,000 for the opening here back on the 9th of April when the Senators make this ballpark their home, played the Detroit Tigers.
- 2:22:00One strike to pitch to Landis is low of all.
- 2:22:06Both ends are quiet now. Pappas is warmed and will be on to pitch top of the ninth inning for the American League golf stars.
- 2:22:163-1, the National League All-Stars lead it. Landis at the plate. One and one the cup. Richardson leads it first to pitch his slashed foul.
- 2:22:25Fast third base coach, manager Billy Hitchcock of the Orioles.
- 2:22:30Mickey Vernon, skipper of the Washington Senators, one of the finest men in baseball, coaching it first.
- 2:22:37One and two, the cup to Jim Landis. Bobby Richardson, the runner at first.
- 2:22:43And with two off, Ernie Banks is not holding tight to the bag against the runner.
- 2:22:48Playing in behind him, pitch to Landis. A looper foul. It will be out of play.
- 2:22:53Again down the right field side, Ernie Banks gives chase.
- 2:22:59Banks who belies his great power when you look at him. He's tall, very crumbly built.
- 2:23:10Doesn't appear to have the strength to hit the ball as far as he does, but he has great wrists.
- 2:23:17Pitch to Landis is too high, just missing. Shaw started toward the National League dugout. He thought he had Landis struck out.
- 2:23:26A day tailor-made for the All-Star game. Temperature at noon was 78.
- 2:23:34I imagine now it's up to about 82, no more. Pleasantly comfortable, sun shining brilliantly. Beautiful setting.
- 2:23:41The pitch is low, ball three and it's three and two. Shaw dealt Landis a curve down into the dirt.
- 2:23:48Blocked well by Del Crandall. And now with two out and a 3-2 count to Landis. Richardson, the runner at first, can break.
- 2:23:57The outfield against Landis, almost straight away in deep. Three to one, the National League All-Stars lead it.
- 2:24:04We're in the eighth inning. There goes Richardson, 3-2 to Landis. Swing to the miss, he's stuck him out to retire the side.
- 2:24:11Jim Landis goes down swinging. Bob Shaw's first strikeout. And for the National American League in the eighth inning, no runs, no base hits, no National League errors.
- 2:24:21One runner left off. And so at the end of the eighth inning, the score is the National League All-Stars three, the American League All-Stars one.
- 2:24:30Powerful, quick, a real performer. America's first sports compact, the Dodge Lancer GT.
- 2:24:38Open the door of this sporty-spirited Lancer. Settle back in one of the twin contour bucket seats. You'll feel luxury in every detail.

- 2:25:32By request, Casey Stengel, manager of the New York Mets of the National League and coaching at first base today,
- 2:25:38was invited into the box of President John F. Kennedy to have his picture taken with the President. And Casey now is explaining it all to Augie Donatelli, umpire at first base.
- 2:25:53Let's enter Sandy Kovacs beginning to warm up for the National League All-Stars in the bullpen.
- 2:25:59We have a new pitcher for the American League All-Stars, the young right-hander Milton Pappas of the Baltimore Orioles.
- 2:26:07Dick Donovan pitches the seventh and eighth innings, and in two innings he gave up one run. It was earned on three hits.
- 2:26:14Donovan did not block anybody, nor did he strike on anyone.
- 2:26:19Pappas will pitch to Ernie Banks, Del Prandtl, and Frank Bowie if they all hit.
- 2:26:24Here in the top of the ninth inning, the National League All-Stars leading three to one.
- 2:26:28Pappas first pitch is hung on. There's a high fly to left field coming on is Colabito.
- 2:26:33Getting there makes the catch for the out, and Banks is retired on one hit.
- 2:26:38It's all Ernie O for two. He got it out third to first in the seventh inning.
- 2:26:43One out in the ninth, and the batter is catcher Del Prandtl.
- 2:26:50The other National League All-Star catcher is John Roseborough of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
- 2:26:57Ralph Hauk has the used Earl Batty of the Minnesota Twins, and John Romano of the Indians.
- 2:27:04He also has available to him Elston Howard of his own Yankees.
- 2:27:10Prandtl is bad against Pappas.
- 2:27:13The catch for Milton is a tall strike. Change of speed as Pappas took something off his fastball.
- 2:27:21Get the inside corner above the knee. Pappas works quickly, comes back with a fastball high, leaving the count at one and one.
- 2:27:30Running fastball, Donovan and Pappas, that fits for the American League.
- 2:27:36One-one pitch coming from Milton. Curved back Prandtl out of the plate, and it's two and one.
- 2:27:43The National League All-Stars three, the American League All-Stars one.
- 2:27:47We're in the top of the ninth inning. The American League All-Stars with one more shot in the bottom of the ninth.
- 2:27:53Here's the two-one pitch, tap foul. Off the hand, the third base coach, Johnny Keene.
- 2:28:02John, who manages the St. Louis Cardinals.
- 2:28:10Ball two and strike two to Del Prandtl.
- 2:28:14Pappas into the windup, he throws. Fastball, hit up in the air.
- 2:28:18Second baseman Bobby Richardson waiting under it. Backs up a couple of steps, he has it, and Prandtl has gone 0-4.
- 2:28:27The American League All-Stars now have left-hander Hank Aguirre and right-hander Ralph Terry beginning to throw.
- 2:28:35And Gary of the Tigers and Terry of the Yankees.
- 2:28:44The batter is second baseman Frank Bowling. If he gets on, the shortstop Marty Wills to bat.
- 2:28:50Pappas delivers too high, a ball.
- 2:28:54Three runs on eight hits, no errors for the National League Stars. One run, only three hits.
- 2:28:59No errors for the American League All-Stars.
- 2:29:02Touched the ball, Bowling is flung on, hits straight away to center.
- 2:29:06Now moving to his left and in is Landis. He makes the catch and a strong inning for Milt Pappas as he retires the side in order.
- 2:29:13For the National League in the ninth inning, no runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left on.
- 2:29:19So at the end of eighth and one-half an ease of play, it's the National League All-Stars three, the American League All-Stars one.
- 2:29:31And coming to the bottom of the ninth inning, the American League All-Stars will have the heart of their batting order up against right-hander Bob Shaw, the Milwaukee Braves, Rocky Colavito, Jim Gentile, and Leon Wagner, the first three.
- 2:29:53And this has been quite a ball game at G.C. Stadium for the largest crowd ever to see a baseball game in this magnificent new ballpark.
- 2:30:06Someone apparently had a leftover firecracker from the fourth.
- 2:30:14Shaw throwing down to his catcher, Del Crandall.
- 2:30:18The American League hits, three of them, a triple by Aparicio off Dryasdale in the third.
- 2:30:26That opened the inning and then Dryasdale bore down and got the next three men.
- 2:30:32Lee Thomas batted for Bunning and popped out. Rich Rollins popped out and Billy Moran struck out.
- 2:30:43And in the sixth inning, the American League got a Tony run when Rollins singled Dryasdale.
- 2:30:51Moran setting the third with a sing to the left center.
- 2:30:56Then Willie Mays made the catch of the day, a leaping grab against the top of the 7th and right fairfield. That might have been a home run. And Mays not made the play.
- 2:31:14The game is being delayed by the same thing that happened very often.
- 2:31:22A young man decided to go out and have a chat with Willie Mays and not waste the ballgame. It's over.
- 2:31:29It's all just being distorted from the premises by the park police.
- 2:31:35Shaw continues to warm up with his catcher, Del Crandall.
- 2:31:40A left-hander and a right-hander in the American League both hand, and Gary and Terry, and left-hander Kovacs in the National League both hand.
- 2:31:49Colavito has set up one and bounded off set to the first. Shaw ended the wind up and throws the lead up high ball one.
- 2:32:03Three to one, the National League All-Stars leading. The American League has to come up with two at least to stay alive in this game.
- 2:32:10The pitch fouled on the ground over towards the National League dugout.
- 2:32:15To even account at ball one and strike one, the Rocky Colavito.
- 2:32:22For the most part, the pitching has predominated.
- 2:32:26Game was scoreless for the first five innings.
- 2:32:29And the Nationals got two in the sixth. The American League had got their run in the sixth.
- 2:32:34The National League added a run in the eighth inning.
- 2:32:39And so Fred Hutchinson and his National League stars have the insurance run. There's a fastball too low. Colavito ball two, strike one.
- 2:32:51First the American League All-Star team misses the presence of a great ball player like Al Kailin over the Detroit Tigers.
- 2:32:59Injured, ball three is up high and inside to Colavito.
- 2:33:04The crowd is three and one to Rocky who now cuts his eyes to Billy Hitchcock.
- 2:33:09Coaching his third base for a sign on the three one fifth.
- 2:33:17Into the windup is Shaw and the pitch coming. Ball four, he walks Colavito to strike the bottom of the ninth inning.
- 2:33:28Here's Bob Shaw's first pass and here is Jim Gentile who has gone all the way at first base for the American League today.
- 2:33:37Gentile walked in the second, he flied to left in the fourth and he took a called third strike in the sixth inning.
- 2:33:48Colavito leading at first, the pitch to Gentile, spun on a ground ball pass of outstrikes by Bowling.
- 2:33:53He walks to second, the fourth player, no play on Gentile as Colavito is forced on a slow roller to Frank Bowling at second base.
- 2:34:02Bowling lobbing to Wills for the force out on Colavito. Gentile reaching on the fourth play.
- 2:34:10Now with one out, here's Leon Wagner. Started the game playing left field.
- 2:34:15And Mickey Mantle left in place of Rocky Colavito. Wagner moved to right with Colavito taking over in left field.
- 2:34:23Wagner, 0 for 3. Pitch to him, foul straight back, got a play, strike one.
- 2:34:31One strike to Cubs. Ball got away from Bob Shaw, come on. Maury Wills raced in to pick it up.
- 2:34:43Gentile the runner at first base with one out in the last of the ninth inning.
- 2:34:47And the National League All-Stars lead 3-1.
- 2:34:52Shaw to the set position, he delivers. There's a high fly ball down the left field line.
- 2:34:57Racing for it is the left fielder Davis and it's a foul ball and Davis grabs it for the out.
- 2:35:02A good play by Tom Davis, a throw back to first is knocked down by the pitcher Bob Shaw
- 2:35:08to prevent an overthrow by Tom Davis attempting to double up.
- 2:35:12Gentile the runner at first. Tom Davis had a long run for that ball and made a good catch down near the box deep ridding.
- 2:35:25The American League now down to its final out with John Romano at the plate.
- 2:35:30Gentile the runner at first base and two outs. The score is 3-1 the National League lead.
- 2:35:38Time called, Romano backs out, he has something in his eye.
- 2:35:43President Kennedy is staying right to the end.
- 2:35:47Leading back to the American League dugout, here's the pitch to Romano. Change up over the head of John for a ball.
- 2:35:55One ball to count to John Romano.
- 2:36:01Romano's been up once, he grounded up third to first.
- 2:36:05Shaw checks Gentile, the pitch swung on, ground ball, base hit in the left field.
- 2:36:09The American League stays alive as Gentile moves to second and holds.
- 2:36:13And the American League All-Stars have the tying runs on.
- 2:36:17And the batter is the shortstop, Luis Aparicio.
- 2:36:24Hit number one off Shaw and the base hit number four is a ball game for the American League All-Stars.
- 2:36:31Aparicio has one of the four, a triple, hammered into the alley and right center in the third inning.
- 2:36:38Since that he's grounded to short and grounded to second, one for three, Luis.
- 2:36:43Gentile the runner at second, Romano the runner at first, and Aparicio at the plate takes outside, ball one.
- 2:36:51And Del Frandel runs the ball out now to pitcher Bob Shaw.
- 2:36:58Well at the moment the American League All-Stars do not have great speed on the bases.
- 2:37:04Neither Gentile nor Romano, above average speed.
- 2:37:11But Aparicio at the plate, he can move with the best.
- 2:37:19One up, he pitched to the way, outside, ball two.
- 2:37:23And Romano has quite tried to hit the outside corner away from Aparicio and missed the pitch.
- 2:37:29Two on and two out in the last of the ninth inning.
- 2:37:32The tying runs are on base for the American League All-Stars.
- 2:37:35They trail the National League three to one.
- 2:37:41Two and O the couch, shot at his set position, check of Gentile, the pitch coming, there's a high drive to deep right center field.
- 2:37:48He's not at Maze, he's setting there, he has it and the ball game's over.
- 2:37:53Aparicio flies deep to Willie Maze in right center field for the final out of the game.
- 2:37:59And in the ninth inning, the American League All-Stars, no runs, one base hit, no National League errors, two runners left on.
- 2:38:09And the final score, the National League All-Stars, three runs, eight hits, no errors, the National League left five men on base.
- 2:38:23The American League All-Stars, one run, four hits, no errors, and the American League left seven men stranded.
- 2:38:34In a moment, we'll review the highlights of the game for you.
- 2:38:37If you're the kind of a man who enjoys the very best, you'll enjoy the magnificent Imperial, America's most carefully built car.
- 2:38:45And to prove it, we'd be pleased to arrange a thorough comparison drive for you as we have for key executives of America's leading corporations.
- 2:38:52Most of the people who have already taken the test drive have found that Imperial was everything we claimed.
- 2:38:58So why don't you make this comparison drive? Your Imperial dealer will be happy to arrange it.
- 2:39:03Drive the magnificent Imperial. Let it speak for itself.
- 2:39:10Now it's a pleasure to turn you back to my broadcasting partner for this All-Star game. For a recap of this game, Lindsay Nelson.
- 2:39:18Thanks very much, John McLean. The starting pitcher is Jim Bunning and Don Drysdale.
- 2:39:22Set the tone of the game at the start. Bunning in three innings allowed no runs, only two hits, a double and a single by Clemente.
- 2:39:28Drysdale allowed no runs, only one hit. Avery Seale led off in the bottom half of the third with a triple, but Drysdale got the next three.
- 2:39:35The first scoring came in the top half of the sixth inning when manager Fred Hutchinson sent Steph Seale up the bat for one Marischal.
- 2:39:42And he got a single and Maury Wills was inserted to run for Musial and Wills promptly stole second base.
- 2:39:47Dick Grote single on the ground up the middle, scoring to Speedy Wills. Clemente single, his third hit of the day.
- 2:39:53And then Mays flat to deep center field, runners advancing to second and third after the catch. It was that deep.
- 2:39:58Cepeda grounded out from third to first, but Grote scored on the end field out.
- 2:40:02And then Davis grounded out to end the inning with the National League without in front by a score of two to nothing.
- 2:40:07Coming right back in the bottom half of the sixth inning, the American League hopped on Bob Perkey,
- 2:40:11greeting him with successive singles by Rich Rollins and Billy Moran.
- 2:40:15Rollins scoring to third on the single by Moran. And then Rollins scored on a fly to center by Roger Maris.
- 2:40:21A tremendous catch made by Willie Mays in the deepest part of the ballpark against the low wire fence.
- 2:40:26That was the only run scored after the catch in the bottom half of the sixth by the American League.
- 2:40:30And then in the eighth inning, the insurance run was added by the Nationals when Maury Wills dropped to Texas League single to left,
- 2:40:36Davenport single to left, and when Colabita threw in behind Wills to second base, Wills went on to third, sliding in safely.
- 2:40:43And then he scored on a sacrifice foul fly down the right field line off the bat of Philippe Ballou.
- 2:40:49That made the score to three to one, and that's the way it stood.
- 2:40:52The fielding player of the day, the catch by Willie Mays in center field in the sixth inning on the long drive by Roger Maris.
- 2:40:58One of the highlights of the day, the penchant by Sam Musial, who sets new records every time he comes up.
- 2:41:03This was his 22nd All-Star game, his 19th season of All-Star participation.
- 2:41:08And a stolen base by Maury Wills was a highlight. He leads the National League in stolen bases with 46. He leads the Major League.
- 2:41:15On hand today, 45,480 fans on a perfect baseball afternoon in the Nation's capital with President John F. Kennedy on hand.
- 2:41:24He stayed for the entire contest, Vice President Johnson here, and of course, military leaders and distinguished baseball men from around the Nation.
- 2:41:32In that All-Star competition now, the American League has won 16, the National League has won 15, and there has been one tie game.
- 2:41:39Final totals for this, the 32nd All-Star game, the National League, three runs on eight hits and no errors.
- 2:41:45The American League, one run only, four hits and no errors.
- 2:41:49The winning pitcher, Juan Marischal of the San Francisco Giants, the losing pitcher, Camila Pasqual of the Minnesota Twins.
- 2:41:56And that just about wraps up the first 1962 All-Star game.
