  Los Angeles Dodgers faced the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium for Game 6 of the World Series on Tuesday, October 18, 1977.
• 0:16
  Tommy Lasorda's Dodgers had a big win in Game 5 at home to avoid elimination after Billy Martin's Yankees won two close games in Los Angeles in Games 3 and 4.
• 0:25
  In this Game 6, the Dodgers sent Game 2 winner Bert Hootendt to the mound to face the Yankees Game 3 winner Mike Torres.
• 0:32
  This audio recording is from the radio broadcast featuring announcers Bill White and Wynne Elliott.
• 1:02
  This is your world series station in New York, WCBS News Radio 88 and immediately following our broadcast of the game,
• 1:31
  we'll bring you up to date on all the latest news, weather and sports including details on all the racing at Yonkers and the Metal Lags.
• 1:40
  All the stages set for the sixth game of this World Series and the best of four out of seven, only three teams have won the World Series after being down three to one in games.
• 1:50
  And the Dodgers were just that down three to one to the Yankees. They won in Los Angeles and now they are one down to the Yankees as the sixth game is coming up.
• 1:59
  The teams that have scored first in this series have won four of the five games and they have won the last four straight.
• 2:06
  And the Dodgers, if you're interested in numbers, have never lost a World Series in an odd numbered year. They won in 1959, 1963 and 1965.
• 2:17
  And here tonight it's going to be Bert Hootendt on the mound for the Dodgers hoping to keep their hopes alive.
• 2:22
  Hootendt pitched nine innings in a winning ball game earlier in the series and he allowed only one run on five hits while striking out eight and walking one.
• 2:30
  Hootendt in the regular season had a record of 12 wins and seven losses and going for the Yankees, Mike Torres, Mike with a record of 17 and 13 in the regular season
• 2:40
  and he also pitched a complete game, a winning effort for the Yankees.
• 2:45
  More of our pregame activities after this message.
• 2:49
  Hey, sports fans, did you know that now there's a great new way to enjoy this series at home?
• 2:54
  Sure. I'm talking about new metal roast coffee and grain beverage.
• 2:58
  Metal roast starts with three kinds of rich, robust coffees, then blends in roasted grain to take away the bitter edge.
• 3:06
  So you enjoy full flavored coffee taste without the bitterness and that should make any sports fan a metal roast fan too.
• 3:13
  Pick up some metal roast at your supermica today. It's new from General Booth.
• 3:19
  All the New York Yankees had a press conference earlier this afternoon in a statement by Gay Paul, president of New York Yankees.
• 3:26
  He said, we are pleased to announce that Billy Martin will continue as Yankee manager and has been rewarded with a substantial bonus and recognition of the fine job he has done.
• 3:36
  We hope this will put to rest the unfounded rumors that a change was about to be made.
• 3:41
  Billy's contract runs through the 1979 season.
• 3:45
  Billy Martin said, I'm very pleased and happy after talking with Gay Paul about this year, next year and 79.
• 3:52
  Yankees were extremely good to me and everything is going to be great.
• 3:56
  I want to thank George Steinbrenner, the top partner in the Yankees,
• 4:01
  Gabe and the New York Yankees for this kind reward and expression of confidence.
• 4:06
  And of course, my warm thanks to our players whose great performances have made this all possible.
• 4:12
  Well, that's the way it sets up. That should get Billy Martin a little bit easier as far as he is concerned.
• 4:19
  I don't think it has much to do with the players, but Billy Martin has been given a bonus and a vote of confidence.
• 4:24
  We talked with Lou Pinella of the New York Yankees. He's having quite a season about his observations on Bert Hooten and this game.
• 4:32
  I think that Bert Hooten surprises a little bit the first time with his good fastball.
• 4:38
  We didn't think he threw that hard from our Scouting Reports, but he pitched an excellent game against us.
• 4:43
  I think most of our hitters were more preoccupied with his knuckle curve than they were with the fastballs.
• 4:51
  And I think that this time around, you'll see the hitters looking more for the fastball.
• 4:56
  If he makes a good pitch with the curveball, you're not going to hit it anyway, so I look for it.
• 4:59
  If he hangs it, you should be able to hit it off the fastball.
• 5:02
  Lou, did you find anything special about the knuckle curve that it breaking a pattern or just break down and out or down and in?
• 5:08
  Well, the early part of the ball game, the knuckle curve was quick and it was breaking down and away.
• 5:14
  Towards the middle part and latter part of the game, it slowed down somewhat and was hanging a little more.
• 5:21
  We've been talking with Lou Pinella. Lou, of course, having an outstanding series. Thank you very much, Lou.
• 5:26
  Thank you, Rob.
• 5:29
  Well, the crowd is filing in and it looks as though we'll have another standing room only crowd on this very nice evening for baseball.
• 5:35
  It's a little bit chilly. The temperature will be down in the high forties and also there's a little bit of a breeze going, but not too bad.
• 5:43
  As we get set for the ball game, the Yankees are going with their same lineup, with the exception of the pitcher that they used in the opening game of this World Series.
• 5:50
  And the Dodgers have made just one change from their opening lineup. They are playing Rick Mundy in center field in place of a rookie Glenn Burke who started in the first game of this series.
• 6:02
  The national anthem will be sung by Robert Merrill and Joe DiMaggio will be the man who will throw out the first ball.
• 6:09
  Don Sutton pitched the Dodgers back to even in the LCS, the league championship series and back to New York where they tend to fall one over the Yankees in LA.
• 6:21
  And the fifth game, here's what he thought of Bert Hootens chances tonight.
• 6:22
  Well, I don't think that it bothered me that much on Sunday. I think that I have the approach to ball game that to those kind of games that it's more fun to play when there's something on the line.
• 6:31
  And having watched Bert Hootens for the last couple of years, I think that he is a better pitcher when there's something on the line too.
• 6:36
  So I think we're in good hands tonight.
• 6:39
  That's good news for Dodger fans and of course you are playing in this ballpark.
• 6:42
  Hootens with that knuckle curve throws a lot of ground balls as Casey Stengel would say so the ballpark shouldn't make a whole lot of difference to him.
• 6:49
  No, I don't think so and I think he's a tight pitcher that if he gets behind with the curve ball and they don't swing at it, he can pitch up and away with enough velocity to use that straight away center field in those alleys where you really have to hit a tee shot to get it out of here.
• 7:02
  We talked with Lou Pinella and he said that he was surprised by the velocity of the fastball that Bert Hootens threw and that he felt that Yankees would be sitting on the fastball more and not worrying about the knuckle curve.
• 7:13
  Well, who knows if that's a con job that he's trying to get us to believe that he's going to do it or if it's a truth.
• 7:18
  I think Bert Hootens gets underestimated by a lot of people. He has three good pitches. He has a change up that not too many people are really aware of who don't see him every day and he knows how to pitch.
• 7:28
  So like I say, I think we're in good hands.
• 7:30
  Talking with Don Sutton. Don, thank you very much.
• 7:32
  Okay, Ralph.
• 7:34
  We'll continue in just a moment.
• 7:36
  Nowadays, you can't listen to radio, watch television or read a newspaper without some auto manufacturer telling you what great gas mileage his car gets.
• 7:46
  They quote the EPA. They tell you how many miles per gallon they get in the city and how many they get on the highway.
• 7:53
  Well, all these facts are great to know. But if there's anything you need as much as cars that make your gasoline go a little further, it's a gasoline that makes your dollar go a little further.
• 8:04
  At the Getty Oil Company, we have a gasoline that's perfect for your cars. Getty Unletted Regular.
• 8:14
  With the octane performance of regular and the clean running smoothness of unleaded. But most important, we saw Getty Unletted Regular for less than most other major unleaded.
• 8:25
  So now you can choose a car and a gasoline that give you more miles for your money. Getty Premium and Getty Unletted Regular.
• 8:34
  We've got what's best for your car.
• 8:37
  All the New York Yankees are being introduced right now. And of course, they get the thunderous applause from these partisan Yankee fans.
• 8:46
  The Dodgers have just been introduced. And the Yankees are getting set to go here at home at Yankee Stadium in the sixth game of the seven game series.
• 8:55
  If it goes one more, we'll have seven.
• 8:58
  We'll return to the 1977 World Series in one minute on the CBS Radio Network. This is Ralph Kiner, CBS Radio Sports.
• 9:06
  WCBS, New York.

• 10:07
  Hello again from Yankee Stadium, where CBS Radio Sports is pleased to present the sixth game of the 1977 World Series between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers.
• 10:24
  With Ross Porter and I'm Win Elliot. And things are just about ready to get underway as Bob Merrill sings the National Anthem.
• 10:33
  Join in the singing of our National Anthem, which will be left by Wepis Merrill.
• 11:33
  And his red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
• 11:41
  Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
• 11:52
  Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
• 12:03
  O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
• 12:27
  We'll be right back to Yankee Stadium after this word.
• 12:36
  If you're like most car owners, getting an oil change is a pain in the neck. Here's how to relieve that pain.
• 12:42
  Mobile one, the oil that does it all. Mobile one.
• 12:48
  With mobile one, you don't have to change oil every 3,000 miles or even every 7,500 miles. You can drive mobile one for an incredible 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, before changing oil.
• 13:01
  If your car is new, use mobile one and just follow warranty rules. Mobile one offers relief in other ways. It saves you gas, reduces engine wear, and you don't have to change oil when the seasons change.
• 13:12
  As for that other big pain, cold weather starting, mobile one helps start a well-tuned engine clear down to 35 degrees below zero. Why settle for partial relief when there's mobile one, the oil that does it all?
• 13:33
  Game 6 Yankee Stadium, win earlier with Ross Porter, we're just about to get underway and so the last of the necessities, the umpires at home plate, John McSherry, first base, Nester Shilak, second base, Ed Sudahl, Larry McCoy's at third base, left field, it's Jerry Dale's area, and Jim Evans is patrolling right field.
• 13:53
  And we're awaiting the toss of the first pitch, the ceremonial, that'll get this game underway, Game 6. I suspect you know that the Yankees have the lead in games, 3-2.
• 14:05
  And I tell you that in all World Series, a team trailing by one game at this point in the series, one out of four, so the odds are four to one against the Dodgers if you want to put it that way. And I see him now in the Yankee dugout, the greatest living ball player, Joe DiMaggio.
• 14:25
  Comes out, waves his hand, you hear it, coming out is actually going to the mound. That's the first time I've ever seen that.
• 14:40
  Joe Di is actually going to the pitchers mound to deliver the first pitch and there's a little embarrassed grin on his face. Ben's down, not quite to the Rosenback, here it comes. God loves it.
• 14:59
  You know, Joe for all the things he's done in the world of baseball, always has that shy, little embarrassed grin on his face. He's never quite relaxed in front of the public as he was in the batter's box or loping around in center field.
• 15:18
  It's a very attractive little grin and there it was and he had a ball. Insofar as Joe Di can express the fact that he's having a ball, awfully nice guy, very contained however, contained to the point when he thought he had had it in baseball that he couldn't perform as the greatest in center field.
• 15:42
  He packed it in, he didn't wait for anybody to tell him or anybody to offer him any lesser or offer him any more. He said, I've had it as long as I can't perform the way the public has come to accept my performance, I'm through.
• 15:57
  So that was Joe Di through under field but obviously never through, at least in Yankee Stadium here and I suspect all over the world at baseball. And the Yankees take the field. It'll by Mike Torres, who is one of the four pitchers to go all the way in this series.
• 16:17
  That's the first time that's ever happened or ever happened since 1971 that is. Torres and Gidry for the Yankees, Houten and Sutton for the Dodgers. And so it'll be two guys who went all the way.
• 16:29
  Houten and Torres, I might tell you that Torres with three days rest prefers it that way. In his winning streak of seven games earlier in August, that's the way he did it. As for Sutton, he's plenty rested. Whether it's a nickel curve, a knuckle curve or whatever, he's had five days to rest.
• 16:49
  So this is the game the Dodgers must win. You must be tired of hearing that. And this is the game that the Yankees feel, I think secretly, that it's got to knock out those guys from West Coast today or it may be too late.
• 17:06
  It's what I said out in California. When you've thrown your best punch, he wobbles the knee shake, but he doesn't go down. You know, it's going to be a long night. Well, this may be the longest of all series, the seventh game type.
• 17:20
  Torres is out there warming up. About the seventh game. In 1963, the last time these two guys met, that is the Dodgers and the Yankees, it was the shortest possible of all series. Los Angeles won it, four nothing.
• 17:37
  Koufax vested or Koufax vested forward in the fourth game, and that was the famous game when Junior Gilliam hit the ball to third base, boyard threw it to Pepitone. Pepitone lost it in the sun, Gilliam went to third, and on the next play, sacrifice fly, he came in and that was the winning margin, two to one.
• 17:57
  The Yankees, of course, have a large margin in play against the Dodgers, both from Brooklyn and Los Angeles. The Brooklyn style, they beat the Dodgers seven series to one. However, the Los Angeles group holds the edge in World Series play against the Yankees, as I've just explained.
• 18:16
  So this is the tenth. The Yankees lead it at the moment, three to two, and everybody's tense with excitement here. The only thing that's changed here in New York, it's nighttime, it's on the cool side, and the cheers you will hear coming from the Yankee fans.
• 18:33
  And by my side, ready to get underway with play by play, Ross Porter.
• 18:38
  Thank you very much, Gwynale, good evening everyone from Yankee Stadium, New York, where over 56,000 have crowded in on a cool autumn night. The temperature might be in the high 40s by the time this game is over.
• 18:49
  The wind blowing out toward left center field, as Mike Torres, the winner of Game 3, looks down to Thurman Munson and Dodger second baseman, Davey Loeb, stands in, and the sixth game is about to begin.
• 19:00
  Torres to the wind up, and the right handers first pitch is high for a ball, one ball and no strikes. Torres got Loeb's all four times he faced him in Los Angeles last Friday night, Davey 3 for 20 in the series.
• 19:11
  He swings and misses a good fastball from Torres, and it's one ball and one strike. Torres lost Game 3 of the American League Championship Series in Kansas City, 6-2, but he pitched five and a third of an inch of shutout relief in the deciding game of the playoffs.
• 19:24
  There's a ground ball by Loeb, shot the bucket in it short and he throws him out.
• 19:31
  So one away for the Dodgers, that'll bring on shortstop Bill Russell. Russell like Loeb's was all for four against Torres the first time they faced in this World Series.
• 19:39
  Russell overall in the series is 4-4-23.
• 19:44
  Torres beat the Dodgers Friday night in Los Angeles 5-3, he allowed a 3 run home to Dusty Baker, but he struck out 9, breaking ball for a called strike to Russell.
• 19:55
  Nationally gun fired John McSherry working behind the plate tonight.
• 20:00
  Torres is ready, the right hander winds and delivers, and Russell grounds went out to the second baseman Willie Randolph, a two hopper, he feels it and throws out the Dodgers shortstop.
• 20:08
  So two infield grounders off the bats of Loeb and Russell, two out and nobody on and up comes Reggie Smith, the bat left hander against Torres.
• 20:16
  Ross, one of the indications as to how effective Torres might be tonight is the speed with which he pitches, not the speed of his pitch, but how frequent his pitches come.
• 20:26
  So far he's wasted no time and that's a good sign for Torres.
• 20:30
  Torres up to the wind up now and the pitch to Smith, a swing and a miss, a good high fastball. Reggie was 1-4-3 against Mike.
• 20:37
  In game three, Torres retired the last 11 Dodgers to face him the other night.
• 20:42
  He's working with three days rest, no wind up delivery, Smith grounds one to the left side, get back hands, it bobbles it, no play.
• 20:49
  Smith will be aboard, Bucky Dent the shortstop had to come back two strides to his right to get the high hopper, batted it down and we'll wait and see what the scoring will be.
• 20:57
  It'll be an error on Bucky Dent.
• 21:00
  So that's the third error of the World Series on the Yankees. Remember they didn't have any until the game in Los Angeles Sunday and then there were errors committed by Greg Nettles and Lou Pinella.
• 21:11
  We've only had four errors in the series. So Smith is the first base runner of game six and that'll give Ron Sey at chance here in the first inning.
• 21:20
  Sey 0-3 against Torres, 3-4-18 overall in the series.
• 21:25
  Sey takes high and away for a ball.
• 21:32
  Two out and runner at first, no score just the start of the ball game.
• 21:37
  Torres to the stretch, looks at Smith, the pitch to say, fouled on. No the ball gets away from Munson and down to second goes Reggie Smith.
• 21:45
  So there was no foul tip, the ball bounced off to the left of the plate, Munson went over to get it.
• 21:50
  But Smith trots in the second base and the Dodgers have a managed scoring position on Thurmond Munson's pass ball.
• 21:57
  We count to say one ball and one strike.
• 22:02
  Sey has appeared now in ten World Series games including 1974.
• 22:08
  He's only 171 in the series in those two years.
• 22:13
  The stretch by Torres, the 1-1 pitch.
• 22:15
  Slider misses outside ball to two balls and one strike.
• 22:21
  Sey during the series has only three hits and he's hitting just 167.
• 22:26
  But Ron has been retired on outfield flies nine different times.
• 22:31
  Here's the 2-1 pitch.
• 22:33
  Low ball Thurry, Thurry in one.
• 22:35
  On deck, Steve Garvey.
• 22:39
  More runs have been scored in the first inning this year than in any other inning during the series.
• 22:44
  Dodgers have five, the Yankees have four.
• 22:47
  The pitch to Sey.
• 22:48
  Low ball four, the Dodgers have two on with two out.
• 22:52
  And this in general has been a two out series so much of the havoc has been raised by each club.
• 22:58
  Now in this particular inning, Thurry seemed to be going along very well.
• 23:01
  He threw three ground balls with the third one to Reggie Smith, bounced on the lip of the grass,
• 23:07
  fooled Dent and put him on and now they based on balls with the pass ball in between and the Dodgers are threatening.
• 23:15
  Steve Garvey's had seven hits in the series, the same as Thurman Munson of the Yankees, they've been the top men there.
• 23:20
  Garvey hitting 350 as he stands in.
• 23:22
  Torres has pitches low for a ball, one ball and no strikes.
• 23:26
  So Torres, who should have been out of the inning, now has to work out of a scrape with Smith at second,
• 23:33
  safe on an error by Dent and Sey aboard on five pitches on a walk.
• 23:38
  The next one to Garvey, low ball two, two and oh.
• 23:44
  Surprisingly win in this World Series so far, almost half of the runs,
• 23:48
  20 of the 42 we've seen have been scored in the first three innings.
• 23:53
  Well it shows you what Jettards will do.
• 23:56
  Garvey waiting, Torres at the belt, but two oh pitch.
• 23:59
  Blind rod, base set down the right field line into the corner. That'll score Smith, say halfway to third.
• 24:05
  As Jackson picks up the ball, Sey is 10 feet from third turning to coming home.
• 24:09
  The throw will be nowhere, two to nothing Dodgers as Sey scores and Garvey winds up at third base with a triple.
• 24:17
  So Garvey conked it right over the bag down the right field line scoring.
• 24:22
  Smith and Sey, two unearned runs, but the Dodgers lead it to nothing.
• 24:27
  Steve Garvey and analyzing the success of the Yankees early in the series says they're smart hitters.
• 24:32
  They go with the pitch. They don't try to necessarily put it in the stands.
• 24:36
  If it's outside, they go with it. Muntzin did that. Jackson did that.
• 24:41
  So Steve came up and put his bat where his mouth had been.
• 24:46
  Chambles was playing him way off the line and had no chance.
• 24:48
  Here's Dusty Baker taking a fastball inside from Torres for a ball, one ball and no strikes.
• 24:53
  Baker collected three hits on Sunday and as we pointed out he had a three run homer off Torres in game three.
• 24:59
  The next one to Dusty outside ball two, two and 0.
• 25:02
  So with two out in the first inning and Torres sailing along, he got a ground ball to the shortstop, but Dent bobbled it.
• 25:09
  Sey walked and Garvey chased home two runs with a triple in the right field corner.
• 25:13
  Baker takes low ball three, three and 0 and Thurman Muntzin walks out in front of the plate hollers something to Mike Torres.
• 25:22
  If you're going to lose the plate, the best place to lose it however is low.
• 25:27
  He didn't quite get it low enough nor far enough outside to Garvey and that's why the Dodgers with the two on run, on run run.
• 25:34
  Let's see if they turn Baker loose. He's taking and it cost him right in there three and one.
• 25:39
  Dodgers got two runs here in the first inning of game one, but the Yankees came back to win that one in 12, four to three.
• 25:45
  The three one pitched to Baker, pop foul back three and two.
• 25:51
  Torres out of Topeka, Kansas came to the Yankees in April from Oakland and won 14 ball games for New York.
• 25:59
  He lost 12.
• 26:03
  Torres won seventh straight though between the last of July and the last of August.
• 26:07
  Garvey down the line from third, now time out for the moment.
• 26:10
  Torres checking something with plate on by John McSherry now back up on top and Baker waiting.
• 26:16
  The one end up in the three two pitch, strike three call, slider got the outside corner, Baker yells at McSherry,
• 26:22
  but Torres works himself back from a three and zero deficit to get the Dodger left fielder.
• 26:27
  However Los Angeles breaks on top with two runs, one hit, Garvey's two run triple, a big error by Bucky Dent.
• 26:34
  And at the end of a half inning in game six, the Dodgers two and a Yankees coming up to face Bert Houghton for the first time.
• 26:49
  When do you say, but wiser, whenever the moment is right for a great big?
• 27:12
  When you're feeling easy after the word is done, what's the time to say it?
• 27:20
  Any time for right time, the king of years is waiting for your call.
• 27:25
  When do you say, but wiser, what's the beautiful rainy time at all?
• 27:34
  When you say, but wiser, you say it all.

• 28:00
  If you've joined us late, the Dodgers scored twice in the top half of the first inning, two on-earn runs.
• 28:06
  Torres got the first two batters, Dossley, with ground balls, Reg Smith hit one of the shortstop Bucky Dent, it took a fairly bad bounce.
• 28:14
  He foosled it nevertheless, then Mike tried to be careful with say through four low ones.
• 28:20
  Steve Garvey, who had been the leading hitter in terms of number of hits the Dodgers had, but only had one RBI to his credit.
• 28:28
  Then, pickled a low outside ball right down the right field line, he went the third, the two Dodgers in front of him scored and that was it.
• 28:37
  Dick Tidwell started to get up in the Yankee bullpen, but that was obviated by the fact that John Dusty Baker struck off.
• 28:45
  And so it is, two nothing, as Bert Houten now comes to see if he can do it again.
• 28:50
  He met the Yankees here and shut them out, or rather and defeated them, he went the entire nine innings, he had an easy time of it,
• 28:59
  because the starter in that game, Catfish Hunter, was touched up for five runs in the first three innings and the game was over quite early.
• 29:07
  However, Bert has been a consistent pitcher for the Dodgers all year round.
• 29:13
  He's had five days rest, let's see what he does as Mickey Rivers comes to bat for the Yankees Ross.
• 29:21
  This marks the third straight time at Yankee Stadium, all the games played in New York this year, that the Dodgers have scored two runs in the first inning.
• 29:28
  It wasn't enough in game one, it was enough in game two when Houten won six to one with a complete game five hitter, a night in which he struck out eight.
• 29:36
  The first pitch to Rivers is a pop flight on the left field line, Baker coming fast, Russell going out, Baker near the foul line, reaches across the line and makes the catch.
• 29:46
  Good catch by Dusty Baker, lost the hat and it took the left field umpire Jerry Dale to tell us about it, since Baker went out of sight,
• 29:55
  but a good one handed catch by Baker, apparently in foul territory, about about a strike.
• 30:00
  I think he actually tumbled in over the low barrier there, the low stands in his momentum, carried him over.
• 30:08
  Yes, he did win over, it was sort of a half gainer that he did into the stands, but he had it.
• 30:13
  Here's what he ran off the Yankee, second to aceman, taking the knuckle curve low for the ball, one ball and no strikes.
• 30:19
  Houten in game two against the Yankees, retired 14 of the last 15 New York batters to face him.
• 30:24
  Randolph takes the low ball too, two balls and no strikes.
• 30:28
  The 79th World Series game ever played at Yankee Stadium since 1923, the year it opened.
• 30:34
  Game six, Yankees leading three games to two, the Dodgers ahead the night two nothing.
• 30:41
  Houten swings to the wind up and the two oh pitched to Randolph is high, ball three, three and oh.
• 30:46
  Houten has had a strikeout walk ratio this year of two and a half to one.
• 30:52
  Here's the three oh pitched to Randolph on the way, called strike, outside corner of the letters three and one.
• 31:01
  One out, nobody on, bottom of the first, the three one pitch.
• 31:05
  Hutsmash to the left, the Russell he planks it down, turns and throws the Garvey in time, good play by Russell on a hot shot by Randolph.
• 31:12
  Two away in the New York first, just as the Dodgers had two out with nobody on in the top of the inning when they erupted for two.
• 31:19
  Thurman Munson, who's had a good series with seven base hits and 21 advance, strives up to the plate from the right side.
• 31:26
  Munson went one for four against Houten the first time they faced last week.
• 31:30
  One of the reasons Houten was so effective against the Yankees in game two was the fact that he got Rivers 0 for four and Randolph 1 for four.
• 31:38
  He kept the two leadoff mid off the base bats.
• 31:43
  First win to Munson is low for a ball, one ball and no strikes.
• 31:47
  Bert Houten has not lost a game in over two months, it's been ten weeks.
• 31:51
  August the 11th, the last time he fell Cincinnati beat him.
• 31:55
  The 1-0 pitch to Munson, tapped out to the shortstop, Russell charges, gloves, one handed, throws the Garvey, pulled him off the Garvey came back and tagged the bag.
• 32:03
  Munson is gone and so are the Yankees in order.
• 32:06
  And at the end of one inning in game six, Dodgers two, Yankees nothing.
• 32:10

• 32:58
  When you're buying or leasing a new car or truck, Ford Credit wants to give you credit for being you.
• 33:11
  And now a commercial from the makers of Bayer Aspirin.
• 33:14
  In Washington, the Food and Drug Administration released important news about aspirin and aspirin substitutes.
• 33:20
  The news release reports that a panel of medical experts in one of their findings found no basis for the claim that aspirin substitutes
• 33:27
  are safer than aspirin.
• 33:29
  That's right. Aspirin substitutes were not found safer than aspirin.
• 33:33
  When you want relief, get Bayer aspirin.
• 33:36
  Bayer has relieved more pain than any medication in history. Use only as directed.
• 33:42
  Going into the top of the second hit, Yankee Stadium gained number six.
• 33:46
  It's Dodgers two to nothing over the Yankees.
• 33:48
  Mike Torres against Burt Hoot and both pitchers pitched well.
• 33:51
  Torres victimized by an error at short, a walk and then a triple down the right field line by Steve Garvey.
• 33:58
  Both runs scoring unearned.
• 34:01
  Hootin had no problems with the top three in the Yankee batting order, a foul fly off of rivers and then two ground balls.
• 34:10
  Now the Dodgers to bat for their half of the second inning.
• 34:13
  Rick Mundy, Steve Yeager and Burt Hootin will face Mike Torres as we go to the second.
• 34:18
  Hootin only threw eight pitches in the first inning to the Yankees.
• 34:22
  Mundy 0-4-4 against Torres in game three is 1-4-7 in the series.
• 34:29
  Mundy's had the last two games off. He hits a ground ball to Chambliss at first.
• 34:32
  Crystal carried over the bag, one away.
• 34:37
  Steve Yeager has been a pleasant addition to the Dodger attack here in the playoffs and also in the World Series.
• 34:45
  Yeager hit 16 home runs during the regular season.
• 34:48
  But here in the World Series, he has five runs battered in.
• 34:52
  He and Dusty Baker had the most of the two.
• 34:54
  Any two players in the series were either team.
• 34:57
  And Yeager drove in four of those five runs. Sunday the Dodgers did him in game five.
• 35:02
  The three-run homer of Don Gallop the Big Blow giving the Dodgers a five-nothing lead in the fourth inning that day.
• 35:07
  Here's a hopper foul up along third.
• 35:09
  Preston Gomez feels that he's coaching a third again for the Dodgers.
• 35:13
  Jim Gilliam, who celebrated his 49th birthday yesterday in the coaching lines at first for Los Angeles.
• 35:23
  Two nothing Dodgers as Steve Garvey went the other way in the first inning.
• 35:28
  Ripped one past the first base bag into the corner, scores Smith and Sey.
• 35:32
  Yeager takes low for a ball, one ball and one strike.
• 35:38
  There have been 39 World Series which reached the sixth game and in 26th of the 39, two-thirds of them,
• 35:44
  the trailing team forced a deciding seventh game.
• 35:47
  There's a roller up along third. It goes foul in the last 10 feet before Nettles feels it.
• 35:51
  So Yeager will have to come back to count one and two.
• 35:54
  Yeager is no gazelle yet he would have beaten that one out had it been fair.
• 35:59
  And I notice that Greg Nettles in regards to the temperature tonight in between pitches puts both his hands in his armpits
• 36:07
  to keep them warm and of course the batters come out thoroughly garb in those golf gloves.
• 36:12
  This is not Los Angeles weather.
• 36:14
  It does Ross mentioned earlier it probably will get down to about 40, no precipitation,
• 36:20
  but there'll be a little creaky out there.
• 36:23
  Torres ahead on the count of Yeager, one ball and two strikes. The pitch got him swinging.
• 36:32
  Torres gets his second strike out. He closed out Baker in the first inning.
• 36:37
  Now with two away, Bert Houten will come up.
• 36:41
  Houten was 0 for three as a batter in game two.
• 36:47
  Houten, 27 year old, former University of Texas All-America.
• 36:51
  Once pitched a no-hitter for the Chicago Cubs.
• 36:54
  And he said that was on a cold night against Philadelphia.
• 37:00
  Torres pitches Luke to right field.
• 37:02
  Reggie Jackson coming up. He's there now. One hand zip to the final out.
• 37:05
  Torres didn't have to throw too many pitches himself in the second inning.
• 37:09
  He gets the Dodgers easily at the end of an inning and a half.
• 37:12
  Dodgers two, Yankee is nothing.
• 37:14
  Take your contact. Take it now.
• 37:19
  Give your call.
• 37:21
  Can your cold medicine fight the congestion, shrink the swollen membranes,
• 37:25
  help relieve the runny, sneezey, cloggy misery caused by every known cold virus? Are you sure?
• 37:30
  Contact, Ham. Today's contact does all that up to 12 hours, all day, all night.
• 37:36
  No matter what cold virus attacks, that's the one that contacts.
• 37:40
  Give your call to contact.
• 37:43
  Take only his direct.
• 37:45
  Looks like there's going to be some fingernail biting at the stadium here tonight.
• 37:49
  Of course, there's plenty of sports action here on CBS Radio all the time.
• 37:53
  The weekend of January 14th and 15th, for instance.
• 37:56
  I'm going to have a Super Bowl weekend for you.
• 37:59
  Seventeen broadcasts recalling all the color of Super Bowl's past and the one that's growing now.
• 38:04
  Then on Sunday, January 15th, the spectacular game itself, pro football for you,
• 38:10
  when CBS Radio Sports brings you the Super Bowl.
• 38:13
  That from New Orleans.
• 38:16
  Well, as we look out at the field and we hear the murmur of the crowd in the back,
• 38:20
  Hooten has taken his time getting back to the Dodger dugout,
• 38:23
  make his way to the mound.
• 38:25
  Now he's manicuring the spikes because he was the last batter up,
• 38:29
  though he didn't run very vigorously on that little loop or to right field.
• 38:34
  Nevertheless, it's always the pitcher's prerogative to take his time,
• 38:38
  presumably to conserve his energy.
• 38:41
  He's the guy that does the most work out there.
• 38:43
  Right now, he's doing a deep knee bend or two.
• 38:47
  Hooten is had a very successful season. You'd never know it when you talk to him.
• 38:52
  Or does he react that way? I understand his nickname is happy.
• 38:56
  Give him to him by Tom LaSorda, basically because he never smiles.
• 39:00
  Well, when you're winning, you don't have to smile.
• 39:03
  LaSorda, for instance, will tell you, interminably, most of the time,
• 39:08
  that he loves his job and he loves his players and he loves the game.
• 39:12
  I had a chance to ask him, has he ever had a losing season?
• 39:15
  I was wondering how much of a lover he would be there.
• 39:18
  He looked at me and surprised, mocked, surprised and said, losing season, what's that?
• 39:24
  Okay, he maintained that he did.
• 39:27
  Well, you hear the response to the right fielder, number 44, Reggie Jackson.
• 39:33
  Well, LaSorda wasn't exactly honest with you,
• 39:37
  when because he did have a club that spoke hand in 1971 that finished third
• 39:41
  and lost seven more than they won.
• 39:45
  He's had winners everywhere else.
• 39:47
  I would suspect he would maintain a spoke hand aside,
• 39:49
  that that wasn't part of the United States or something.
• 39:52
  Reggie Jackson has had five hits in the last three series games
• 39:56
  and he scored two runs in each of those three.
• 39:58
  He takes a high pitch from Hootin for a ball, one and a half.
• 40:01
  Reggie's six for 17 in the series, three runs battered in.
• 40:05
  Jackson with two home runs.
• 40:07
  The next one from Hootin, inside for ball two, two and a half.
• 40:11
  Jackson was 0 for four against Hootin, the first time they faced here last Wednesday night.
• 40:16
  Two balls and no strikes to Reggie Jackson leading off in the last of the second.
• 40:20
  Hootin's pitches alone outside ball three, three and a half.
• 40:25
  Hootin finished third this year in the National League and earned a run average.
• 40:29
  He wound up the year at 2.62.
• 40:31
  Only John Candelaria of the Pirates and Tom Siever of the Mets and then Reds had a better ERA.
• 40:37
  The 3-0 pitch to Reggie, a high ball four and four pitches. Jackson walks.
• 40:46
  And the fact that he gets on base at this particular instant
• 40:49
  makes him the most popular man in town.
• 40:51
  He's been quoted, misquoted, listened to, unlistened to.
• 40:55
  You know the story.
• 40:58
  Chris Chambliss was also 0 for four against Hootin in game two.
• 41:02
  Chris has had five hits in the series and 20 at bats.
• 41:05
  Bird Hootin out of a stretch.
• 41:07
  The pitch to the Yankee first baseman is low.
• 41:09
  Ball one.
• 41:10
  So Hootin is missed on five straight, opening up the second inning.
• 41:14
  Dodgers two Yankees nothing with that one hit in the game, a two run triple
• 41:18
  over the first base bag by Steve Garvey of the Dodgers in the first inning.
• 41:22
  The next one to Chambliss sets a strike on the inside corner at the belt
• 41:26
  and it's one ball and one strike.
• 41:28
  I suspect the Yankee stadium crowd is trying to emulate the veteran stadium crowd
• 41:32
  in Philadelphia when Hootin was presumably upset by the constant noise.
• 41:37
  Now the stretch by Hootin. He looks at Jackson.
• 41:39
  There goes Reggie Abloh. The pitch is low and outside and Jackson comes back to the bat.
• 41:43
  Two balls and one strike to Chris Chambliss with Greg Nettles on deck.
• 41:48
  Hootin is ready working quickly.
• 41:56
  Two one pitch to Chambliss.
• 41:58
  A drive the right center field indeed.
• 42:00
  Way back going, going a home run for Chris Chambliss and we're tied to two.
• 42:22
  That's the first real blow that Chris Chambliss has struck in the series.
• 42:28
  He's got the back part of the bat on it and smashed it 385 feet into the right center field stand.
• 42:35
  And the Yankee bet is a whirlpool of activity.
• 42:40
  And Tom Lasorda, no that's Red Adams, comes out to speak to the Dodger pitcher.
• 42:46
  I noticed just before Chambliss took his place at bat, Billy Martin was up on the top step.
• 42:52
  We're dragging furiously, fake and false and real signs, giving him the rolling fist, the fight sign.
• 43:00
  Billy, as you probably have heard, got a vote of confidence from owner Steinbrenner and General Manager Gabe Paul this afternoon.
• 43:07
  A bonus for the year. He will be retained for the remaining two years of his contract.
• 43:14
  Red Adams has come out to settle down for aided and abetted in part by the Yankee Stadium, which has thrown the unrolling kind of tissue paper up.
• 43:27
  And the stadium group has had to go out and clear the field and the den has not let up as it is now 2 to no outs second inning Yankee's at bat and Ross, who is it?
• 43:40
  In the associate's throwing win in the Dodger bullpen, Chris Chambliss, who had 17 home runs during the American League season, has noted it with a two run blast to right center.
• 43:50
  Greg Nettles takes the knuckle curve low for a ball, one ball and no strikes.
• 43:54
  Houten only gave up 14 home runs during the National League season. That was the second low total on the Dodger staff.
• 44:01
  Tommy John gave up only 12.
• 44:04
  Here is Nettles 4 for 17 in the series. The ground smashed at Garvey. One handed behind the bag and carries it over one away.
• 44:11
  So Nettles ripped it, but right at Garvey and we have one gone in the New York second inning.
• 44:16
  And this is Lou Ponella. That is the, ooh, you hear in the background. That's Lou, not Boo.
• 44:23
  A knuckle ball, whether it's a curve or just an inexplicable dancer, when it doesn't break is duck soup.
• 44:29
  And it looked like Chambliss caught one that didn't do any breaking.
• 44:32
  He got all of it and drove it at least 400 feet into the right center field seats.
• 44:37
  Lou Ponella, one for three against Houten in the first outing between the two fouls one back for a strike.
• 44:43
  Ponella, 6 for 19 on the series, but Lou fighting a mild slump at the moment. He's 0 for 7.
• 44:52
  2-2, bottom of the second.
• 44:54
  Bird hit into the wind up and the 0-1 pitch to Ponella, high pop fly on a middle of the infield, and a shot a right center.
• 45:02
  Reggie Smith coming in calling for it, loses the cap and makes the catch.
• 45:05
  Two away as Ponella pops up to Smith. Here's shortstop Bucky Dent.
• 45:10
  Bucky Dent.
• 45:12
  Bucky Dent.
• 45:14
  It was Dent's two out error in the first inning, which set up the Dodger two run salvo.
• 45:20
  Dent, Boblin, Reggie Smith hopper, and then after Ron Saywalk, Garvey whacked the triple down the right field line to chase in two.
• 45:29
  Houten to the wind up to pitch the Dent, knuckle curve swung on a missed strike one.
• 45:34
  Dent, 1 for 2 against Houten in the series and 5 for 17 against Dodger pitching.
• 45:39
  Crowds over from the right side, hits the ground ball at the Davey looks.
• 45:42
  Two hopper, Davey's got it and throws him out.
• 45:44
  So Houten settles down after Chambliss' two run homer.
• 45:48
  Dent locks the ball again. Two runs, one hit, nobody left.
• 45:51
  At the end of two innings in game six, Dodger's two Yankees two.
• 45:56
  Music playing
• 46:03
  Someday you'll own
• 46:06
  Someday you'll own
• 46:09
  Sooner or later you'll own generals
• 46:13
  Don't pay extra for long mileage tires until you see the expert at your nearest general tire headquarters.
• 46:20
  They've got the famous General Dual Steel II radial.
• 46:24
  The same tire that you'll see on many of Detroit's finest cars at a price that's right for today's budget.
• 46:31
  You get two steel belts, radial ply construction, and smooth riding polyester cord.
• 46:38
  Stop in today. Check your yellow pages for the general tire headquarters nearest you.
• 46:45
  Sooner or later you'll own generals
• 46:49
  Sooner or later you'll own generals
• 46:59
  Okay, we're about to go to the top of the third and both pitchers now are even.
• 47:06
  Mike Torres was touched for a triple after an era and a walk that put him in jeopardy.
• 47:13
  Then Bert Houten having walked Jackson, a home run by Shambles.
• 47:18
  So it was really only one hit apiece.
• 47:26
  You may missus Carter came all the way from California.
• 47:30
  He's really wrapped up in a series win and this Carter is here to see game six.
• 47:36
  As he was for games four and five in Los Angeles.
• 47:40
  Another warm welcome for another guest seated near home.
• 47:46
  The Attorney General of the United States, Mr. Griffin Bell.
• 47:51
  Attorney General Griffin Bell is also here at Yankee Stadium tonight along with 56,000 plus other baseball fans.
• 47:59
  And they're seeing a stirring start to game six of the 1977 classic.
• 48:04
  Dodger is getting two runs in the first on an era walk and Steve Garvey's triple.
• 48:09
  And the Yankees coming back to square it in the second on a walk and a two run home run by Chris Shambles.
• 48:15
  And out in Southern California they may be about to revoke Chris Shambles' UCLA alumni card.
• 48:23
  Here's Davey Loek taking loan outside from Mike Torres as we go to the third inning.
• 48:27
  The third inning has been the most productive of the World Series so far for the Dodgers.
• 48:31
  They have scored seven runs in the third inning.
• 48:34
  Loek's foul is one back. One ball one strike.
• 48:37
  Ross you sound like they may issue you a UCLA card unless maybe you already have one I don't know.
• 48:43
  No, no. Mine is at the University of Oklahoma win.
• 48:47
  The next pitch to Loek's popped up foul.
• 48:49
  It'll make the stands off to the right back out of play.
• 48:51
  One ball and two strikes to Loek's.
• 48:53
  Davey granted out the bucket dent to open the ball game.
• 48:59
  The last time a World Series was completed in six games was 18 years ago.
• 49:05
  Can you believe that?
• 49:07
  And the Dodgers took the White Sox in 1959 four games to two.
• 49:10
  Torres is one two pitch to Loek's has hammered foul back on the screen again.
• 49:14
  So the count remains the same.
• 49:17
  18 years ago. I'm not that old.
• 49:20
  I found it hard to believe that ever since them have all gone four five or seven.
• 49:28
  Mike Torres back even in the ball game.
• 49:30
  Steps up on the slab looks down the Munson now ready to go to work.
• 49:35
  Six foot five inch right hander deals one to the Loek's low ball two two and two.
• 49:44
  Two runs one hit for each team.
• 49:46
  Yankees have an error that helped cost them two runs.
• 49:50
  Loek's wetting the two two pitch low outside ball three three and two.
• 50:01
  Torres threw a hundred and thirty three pitches in game three so they'll watch him closely.
• 50:05
  There's a hopper back the Torres reaches up and loves it turns and throws the
• 50:08
  channels in the dirt.
• 50:18
  And then he almost threw it away but channels dug it out.
• 50:20
  And that went away.
• 50:21
  Here's Russell.
• 50:22
  That was not an easy play on either end.
• 50:24
  He leaped up and then it seemed to me he aimed the ball instead of just chucking it over there.
• 50:28
  And now Chris Chandler says the home run and the out quencher on Davey Loep's the young man from Providence, Rhode Island.
• 50:35
  Who it's often been said as Dave goes so go the Dodgers.
• 50:38
  Russell granted out the second his first time up Billy bounces one of the shortstop dent this time.
• 50:43
  Bucky up throwing to away.
• 50:51
  Reggie Smith got things started for the Dodgers in the first inning with his hopper to the left side which didn't
• 50:57
  bop old for the error.
• 50:59
  Reggie much better percentage hitter and power hitter from that left side.
• 51:03
  And I think by all odds his home run in the second game has been the longest hit of the series.
• 51:09
  Reggie takes low for a ball.
• 51:11
  Smith leads the Dodgers in runs during the series with six now including the one tonight in the six games.
• 51:18
  Torres is one oh pitch.
• 51:19
  He's swung on a miss.
• 51:20
  Good fastball by Mike.
• 51:24
  Billy Martin was not going to start Torres tonight but he was told that figure was index finger ten to nine.
• 51:29
  This was not a hundred percent healed so he went back to Mike.
• 51:32
  The one one pitch to Smith.
• 51:33
  There's a drive to center field and deep rivers turns that was going to be gone again in the right center field.
• 51:38
  The big and the Dodgers regain the lead three to two on Reggie Smith's third home run of the World Series.
• 51:45
  That was almost exactly where the one he hit in the second game was deposited well over the three hundred and eighty five foot mark
• 51:53
  easily four hundred.
• 51:55
  The fact part of the bat you could tell from the crack in the trajectory.
• 51:58
  There was no question about it at all.
• 52:00
  And so the Dodgers go back into the lead three to two.
• 52:04
  The Dodgers now have had nine home runs in the series the most since the nineteen fifty five Brooklyn Dodgers had nine.
• 52:12
  And so the nine here this year by the Dodgers equals the National League high the nineteen fifty seven Braves that had eight home runs.
• 52:21
  Ron say takes inside for a ball the nineteen fifty six Yankees all the all time record twelve home runs in a series.
• 52:30
  Say take some outside corner for a strike one ball and one strike.
• 52:34
  So three to Los Angeles as Reggie Smith unloads say waiting one on one.
• 52:45
  The pitch from Torres is high inside two and one.
• 52:50
  The Dodgers then have scored all three of their runs here tonight after two or out.
• 52:57
  Say wait here's the two one pitch here's a ground blow to the left side nettles bubbles and has no play.
• 53:03
  Greg runs to his left in front of Dent to get his glove on the ball.
• 53:07
  And while prone tried to come up and throw and couldn't do it it'll be a base hit for Ron say.
• 53:13
  So say who walked and scored in the first inning is on again with two out here in the third three hits now for the Dodgers.
• 53:19
  Mike Torres.
• 53:21
  I'm not sure that Greg hadn't let it go through that was in position to feel the ball but whether his long throw would have been quick enough.
• 53:28
  I'm not sure.
• 53:29
  It's a very good point when it also reminds us of the ball hit out of Los Angeles in game three when say cut in front of Russell and the ball go off his glove where Russell had been allowed to get the ball.
• 53:39
  They would have had probably forced out at second at worst.
• 53:42
  So the little things all add up in a great classic like this.
• 53:45
  Here's Garvey who tripled into his first time up. Torres misses outside for a ball.
• 53:50
  Let's pause five seconds for station identification.
• 53:53
  This is the CBS radio network.
• 53:55
  WCBS New York.
• 54:01
  The 1 0 pitch to Garvey inside ball two to an O.
• 54:05
  No activity now in either bullpen.
• 54:08
  Dodgers three Yankees to the top of the third inning in New York.
• 54:12
  Game six if there's a game seven will be on the air tomorrow night on CBS at 8 0 7 Eastern time.
• 54:18
  Torres is set to pitch to Garvey foul back.
• 54:25
  Tommy John would pitch game seven if there is one for Los Angeles and run.
• 54:30
  Get ready.
• 54:32
  Apparently now is Billy Martin's choice for game seven.
• 54:37
  Although there were reports here yesterday Martin wouldn't use good ring game seven.
• 54:40
  Garvey's floods one to center field and deep but rivers going back.
• 54:43
  You'll have a play in front of the warning track and make the gap.
• 54:46
  The Garvey had a close to 400 feet.
• 54:48
  The deepest part one of the deepest parts of the ballpark and an easy out for Mickey Rivers.
• 54:53
  The Dodgers though go back in front one run two hits one left at the end of two and a half innings Dodgers three Yankees to.
• 55:06
  In an age when so many products do only what they have to.
• 55:10
  It's almost a shock to find one that does a lot more.
• 55:13
  Mobile one the oil that does it all mobile one is a synthetic motor oil made by man to do things mother nature never dreamed of mobile one makes your gas go farther and you can drive mobile one for 15000 miles or one year whichever comes first without an oil change.
• 55:32
  If your car is new use mobile one and just follow warranty rules. Mobile one also reduces engine wear helps your engine run clean and work so well in hot weather that you don't have to change oil when the seasons change and mobile one can help start a well.
• 55:47
  The Masters racing the triple crown baseball all star league championships and next year's World Series in case you like tennis to how about the U.S. Open if sports turns on turn to CBS radio sports all year long on many of these CBS radio network stations.
• 56:06
  So it's Reggie Smith who's done it before and he did it again in that third inning of the Dodger half the one blow putting the Dodgers back up on top reruns to the Yankees to 3 3 0 the score for Dodgers 2 1 1 1 error by Bucky Dent the line for the Yankees.
• 56:27
  OK Ross Mike Torres swings and misses the first pitch from Bert Houten as we go to the Yankee half of the third inning. The Ark is not scored in this series in the third inning or in the ninth and Torres takes high for the ball one on one.
• 56:43
  Los Angeles has been blanked in the seventh and eighth innings. Now the wind up by Bert Houten and here comes the one one pitch it's swinging a miss strike two one and two.
• 56:54
  Torres was all for three when he hit in game through in Los Angeles. Houten ready the one two pitch knuckle curve got him swinging one out on the Yankee third inning for Bert Houten his first strike out of the game.
• 57:07
  He had eight remember the first time he faced New York. Here's Mickey Rivers who fouled out the Dusty Baker in the first inning. Baker reaching into the front row of the seats along the left field line to make the catch.
• 57:25
  He's not had a hit in his last eight at bats against the Dodgers. He bounced up along the first baseline Laurel foul. Mickey now four for twenty four in the series. Of course when Rivers gets on the Yankee offense is certainly boosted and encouraged.
• 57:42
  He does cause the defense to anticipate so many possibilities with him on first day almost every single becomes a double.
• 57:52
  Ron say playing way in the grass for Rivers here's Houten one strike pitch knuckle curve in the dirt one and one until Chambliss hit the two run homer in the second. No Yankee had driven in more than one run in any World Series game this year.
• 58:06
  Rivers fouls it out of play along the left field line and it's one ball and two strikes. So the Yankees over the last week have had a lot of people with RBI totals of one but nobody had to until Chambliss. Rivers takes way upstairs ball two two balls and two strikes from Houten.
• 58:26
  Of course the Dodgers about score the Yankees prior to tonight twenty four to eighteen. It's been a very even series at the plate to pitch the Rivers foul back our way upstairs. Still to.
• 58:47
  Dodgers now have scored 17 of their twenty seven runs in the series as the result of home runs. Rivers bounces one out toward Davey Lopes. Lopes has got the high hopper and throws him out.
• 58:58
  So two way in the New York third inning. Second baseman Willie Roundoff grounded at the short his first time up.
• 59:09
  I think back to the 1960 World Series when remember the pirates and Yankees went around and around the Yankees wound up outscoring the pirates fifty five to twenty seven in Pittsburgh when the World Championship.
• 59:21
  So the run sometimes that doesn't tell all the story pitch inside the Randolph the Yankees that year won sixteen to three ten to nothing and twelve to nothing at Pittsburgh one of the other four games.
• 59:32
  One of the pitch to Randolph five ball two there is an instance of too much of a good thing.
• 59:40
  Well Yankees have won all the close games this year the Dodgers have won the two lopsided contest. Randolph takes a high strike two and one.
• 59:48
  New York is one by one run in twelve innings by two runs by two runs Los Angeles is one by five runs and by six runs.
• 59:59
  Two balls and one strike the Yankees second baseman Willie Randolph Bert Houten's pitch popped up down the middle of the diamond Rick Monday coming in.
• 1:00:06
  Davey Lopes going out. Lopes gives way. Monday loses the cap and makes the catch and Bert Houten just as he did in the first inning gets the Yankees in order in the third.
• 1:00:15
  And at the end of three innings in game six at Yankee Stadium is the Dodgers three the Yankees two.
• 1:00:22
  Hello Mama hello Papa greetings from camp. We had an old day. Cook out here later on I got a case of diarrhea.
• 1:00:35
  I was feeling kind of dismal. Counselor gave me Pepto Bismol. Now I'm feeling much much better. That's the news for now.

  I hope you liked my letter. Pepto Bismol for common diarrhea read and follow label directions.

• 1:01:54
  The money is to keep some small town post offices open and keep the mail coming on Saturdays. Now back to the World Series in New York I'm David Jackson CBS News.
• 1:02:05
  A comparatively quiet Yankee Stadium as we've gone through the first three innings here in game number six with the Dodgers holding a three to two lead.
• 1:02:14
  Reggie Smith's third home run of the series the first of the night giving the L.A.'s that lead in the top of the third as Mike Torres goes to work Ross.
• 1:02:22
  Dusty Baker leads off he struck out his first time up he checks his swing on a high pitch from Torres for ball one one and oh.
• 1:02:29
  The team which has scored first has won four of the five series games the last four Baker takes inside ball two to an old the Dodgers led here two to nothing in game one as we told you.
• 1:02:41
  But the Yankees came back to win that one in twelve innings four to three. Torres is two old pitches outside the Dusty for ball three and it's three and oh Baker steps out looks down to Preston Gomez to see if they might let him swing three and oh.
• 1:02:54
  Monday and Yeager to follow in the Los Angeles for the pitch called strike three and one three runs three hits no errors for the Dodgers two runs one hit one error for the Yankees Mike Torres is three one pitch popped into the right center field.
• 1:03:11
  Fairly deep though the ball carrying Reggie Jackson going back to the warning track and got a play so that one fooled me when I was headed didn't look like I would carry that far. The Jackson wound up about three hundred and seventy five feet or so away making the catch and Baker went the opposite way.
• 1:03:25
  He's been one of the few Dodgers the last couple of days to try to go to right center field. The length of that blow didn't fool Billy Martin he's got Dick Tidrow up warming up in the Yankee bullpen.
• 1:03:40
  Rick Monday bounced out to Chris Chambliss his first time up Chris playing deep on the dirt part of the infield at first and Monday takes a call strike from Torres.
• 1:03:50
  If you join us late the Dodgers got two runs after two men were retired in the first inning.
• 1:03:55
  Monday takes inside and it's one and one. Smith was aboard on Bucky Dent's air at shortstop Ron say walked and Steve Garvey line went over the first base bag into the right field corner to drive in two runs.
• 1:04:07
  Yankee's got two in the second on Jackson's walk and Chris Chambliss is long homer. Monday lines a base head over shortstop in the left field and the Dodgers have their fourth hit on Mike Torres.
• 1:04:17
  Vanilla falls down but he gets the ball back in and Monday with a long sweep around first holds on with a single Dodgers have had a hit now and every inning except the second near Steve Yeager.
• 1:04:34
  Yeager was one of Mike Torres's two strikeout victims after now when he went down swinging in the second inning Baker had been called out in the first.
• 1:04:45
  Torres is pitched to Yeager the smash past third fair ball off the railing on left field. Here's Monday on the way to third base.
• 1:04:52
  Penelope throwing a second they got a shot at Yeager. He is out at second base. Good throw by Lou Penelope played the carom off the railing and throughout the Dodger catcher who went in stomach first.
• 1:05:05
  But Billy Martin is on the way out to the mound and even though Bird Ooton is due up it could be that Billy thinks Mike Torres is going far enough.
• 1:05:13
  So Lou Penelope with a great defensive play for the Yankees. Otherwise the Dodgers would have had two men in scoring position with one out.
• 1:05:23
  But that's what you call being familiar with the grounds. Penelope has played that bounce before and he was honored in a hurry and the perfect strike in the second baseman will he ran off and they got Mike Steve Yeager.
• 1:05:38
  So Mike Torres is aided by a great throw by Penelope and Billy Martin is going to stay with him as Bird Ooton comes up.
• 1:05:44
  I remember a play in the playoffs in the American League where Lou was not quite that gracious in his playing the bounce. He had thought a fan touched it and a lally gag to throw in and everybody was running around like mad.
• 1:05:56
  Nobody had touched it. So you know they all even up I guess.
• 1:05:59
  Here's Ooton with Monday at third and two out Torres delivers and the pitch is low for the ball one and all.
• 1:06:05
  Ooton had a soft fly ball to Reggie Jackson his first time up tonight.
• 1:06:09
  So two out a runner at third instead of second and third and one out called strike the Hootman Penise and it's one and one.
• 1:06:16
  So that could be a big play in this ball game. Only time will tell.
• 1:06:21
  Five hits now for the Dodgers off Torres including two this inning.
• 1:06:26
  But all Los Angeles has to show for it as a runner at third with two away.
• 1:06:31
  And Steve Yeager is training out to be the big batter for the Dodgers and the other six to the series to less than Garvey.
• 1:06:38
  Hootman swings through a pitch from Torres and it's one ball and two strikes when the Yankees bat on the fourth.
• 1:06:44
  They'll soon up Thurman Munson Reggie Jackson and Chris Chambliss three to two Dodgers in the top of the fourth inning Monday down the line.
• 1:06:51
  The one two pitch the Hootman got him swinging.
• 1:06:56
  So Torres thanks to a fine play by Lou Pinella on Yeager's base hit gets the Dodgers no runs to hits one left at the end of three and a half innings in game six Dodgers three Yankees two.

  Remember Super Bowl Sunday January 15 CBS Radio Sports is going to be on hand to provide you with all the play by play action from New Orleans on most of these CBS radio network stations.
• 1:08:27
  Bert Hooten once again the last batter in the inning takes the pitchers prerogative he'd been the last batter in the second inning as he was in this inning.
• 1:08:38
  And he's lullagagging out to the mound after a few deep breaths there in the dugout just taking his time he's going to try to go nine of course and anything he can keep from doing other than pitching is to his advantage.
• 1:08:51
  As for Mike Torres his infield did them in in the first inning on a lot to honor and runs well on that fourth inning they can snap back and help them out that to base blow or normally it would have been with Steve Yeager's glass the left field.
• 1:09:06
  And then the ball and he threw out Steve Yeager who is not exactly a sprinter and that got Torres out of the inning that and the National League's refusal to have a D.H. didn't help their cause that time.
• 1:09:26
  That's not the point but that's what happened. So as we go into the last half of the fourth ritual Reggie Smith's home run in the third inning the Dodgers lead it three to two and the Yankees captain to the play.
• 1:09:39
  Thurman Mutson has a nine game hitting string in World Series competition. He's hit safely in nine of the 10 postseason games this year hitting it a three 10 clip coming to play off. Mutson granted out the short his first time up.
• 1:09:56
  Thurman has struck out seven times in the series. That's the most of any player on either team. Herditton goes to the wind up with a three to two lead and delivers and off speed pitches high for a ball one and all.
• 1:10:09
  He used only 36 pitches in the first three innings. Chris Chambliss ripped him for a two run homer in the second but the Dodgers got the lead back on Reggie Smith's third homer of the series and the third the pitch to Mutson drive the left field.
• 1:10:24
  That's going to be a base hit. Dusty Baker over to get it cuts it off. Mutson around first we'll have to hold the long single.
• 1:10:30
  So Mutson extends his hitting string and World Series play to 10 game. That's the Yankees second hit off Houghton the other one was Chambliss's homer.
• 1:10:43
  And here's Reggie Jackson. Jackson walked on four pitches his last time up there. There's a drive the right field and deep. Smith going back away back. It's gone.
• 1:11:13
  Well Bert Houten threw the wrong ball and Reggie Jackson made it the long ball. Two swipes of the bat for the Yankees in the second and fourth inning.
• 1:11:35
  Chris Chambliss left handed Reggie Jackson left handed each time with a man aboard and the Yankees take the lead four to three and we're having a blizzard of paper here in left field right field and a momentary halt as Davey Loops comes in to settle down as pitcher Bert Houten said it before when that
• 1:11:59
  knuckle curve doesn't break. It's a gone goose. Now the big guy who hit the first two run homer for the acts Chris Chambliss Ross the Yankees ahead for the first time tonight on Reggie Jackson his third home run of this World Series.
• 1:12:14
  Here's Chambliss knuckle curve for a called strike and Reggie Jackson with two more runs scored tonight. Remember he walked and came across in front of Chambliss's homer. Jackson has scored eight runs in the last four games to for contest by Houten his long the dirt to
• 1:12:30
  the Yankees. He's got a long ball one and one. So Jackson has scored eight of the Yankees twenty two runs in this series and it's four three New York on a couple of two run homers by a pair of left handed sluggers Chambliss and Jackson
• 1:12:46
  has scored a goal ball two two and one. And Lea Sosa throwing again in the Dodger bullpen and here comes Tommy LaSorta when Jackson's ball wound up in the lower deck in right field Steve Yeager had gone out in front of the plate and he's
• 1:13:00
  got a good signal as if to say he's lost it. He doesn't have much on it. Now LaSorta going out to talk to when LaSorta goes out. He's a man who usually brings the hook with him. So said thrown earlier in the ball game. And now let's see whether LaSorta decides the Yankees pitcher.
• 1:13:16
  There is no tomorrow for Los Angeles. The Yankees have an opportunity to make some gambles tonight knowing that would be a seventh game tomorrow but not so for the Dodgers.
• 1:13:27
  And once again Ross it's the person of Reggie Jackson. Reggie had been a thorn in Los Angeles side when it was an Oakland A World Series as you might remember. That one went five games.
• 1:13:40
  In that series it was Holtsman Hunter and Jackson of this current Yankee squad and Tom LaSorta has had enough for the talk with Bird Hooten. He's called for a relief pitcher to come in. I presume it will be Sosa.
• 1:13:54
  Sosa who pitched a couple of strong relief innings here against the Yankees. He didn't do that well against the Phillies. And one inning he gave up two hits. And you recall a book in the game, the second game that the Dodgers lost.
• 1:14:10
  But thereafter Sosa has been the kind of relief pitcher you need. He's not allowed anything. Of course the Yankee crowd invigorated by Reggie Jackson's line drive blast to right field, likely about 340 feet.
• 1:14:28
  Two big blows for the Yankees that put them on top. After Jackson walked in the second, Chris Shambles put it into the Babe Ruth porch. And then in the fourth inning after Captain Munson did what he's done in every World Series game he's played in.
• 1:14:44
  Wacked a safe hit to left field. Reggie Jackson came up and loving the life-flight as he does. He has the ability, the verve and the jazz to come to it when it's necessary. He put it into the porch and gave the Yankees the 4-3 lead.
• 1:15:06
  Well most baseball fans are all around sports fans and CBS Radio Sports Accord, so knows that and includes you in all our thinking.
• 1:15:16
  And the most season football, that's the Fiesta, Son and Cotton Bowls, the NFC Championship game and the Super Bowl game. And for golf fans there's the Masters, the Triple Crown for the horse racing buffs. Oh hey, the Washington D.C. International too on November 5th.
• 1:15:36
  And next summer all the big ones, the Playoffs, the World Series. Sure, plenty of sports all here on many of these CBS radio network stations.
• 1:15:50
  One 27 year old right hander replaces another. A Leah Sosa out of the Dominican Republic comes on for the Dodgers. Sosa has not seen service in this World Series since six nights ago. He came in in game one you might recall in the eighth inning with the Yankees leading 3-2 and the bases loaded and won out.
• 1:16:11
  And Sosa proceeded to strike out Lou Penella and get buckied in to bounce into a fielder's choice. Those are the only two men he faced. Yankees saw the Dodgers tired in the ninth on Lee Lacey's Pinsengeloch Sparky Lyle.
• 1:16:24
  But New York came back to winning 12. So it's been a while since Sosa has worked. A Leas who throws a good breaking ball, good slider, finished third among National League relievers this year and earned run average.
• 1:16:37
  By year's end he had dropped the DRA down to 1.97.
• 1:16:44
  And Rossy comes in to pitch to Chambliss with the count two balls and one strike.
• 1:16:50
  So Chambliss technically belongs to Bert Hooten. Nobody out, nobody on. Two runs over for the Yankees in the fourth inning on Reggie Jackson's third home run of the series.
• 1:17:01
  So both Reggie's, Jackson of the Yankees and Smith of the Dodgers, have clubbed three home runs here in this year's series.
• 1:17:08
  Four-three New York. Here Sosa's pitched to Chambliss. Outside ball three, three and one.
• 1:17:15
  Greg Nettles on deck. Lou Penella will follow. But the first time this evening the Yankees are ahead. Four to three.
• 1:17:24
  Sosa to the wind up. The three one pitch. Popped up. On the left side Russell going out and shallow left. Baker coming in.
• 1:17:31
  Russell calling. Bull drops. One to win a second Chambliss and he'll make it.
• 1:17:36
  Baker and Russell got messed up on their communications. They both lost their caps going for it.
• 1:17:42
  It looked like Russell was going to get it. And in the last second Bill shied away.
• 1:17:47
  And the ball didn't get there. And just like that, Chambliss goes into second base. And I guess it'll have to be a gift double. Nobody touched him.
• 1:17:56
  That should have been an easy catch for Baker. We could see that as Russell was angling over, it was going to be a real tough play for him.
• 1:18:04
  He actually overran the ball. And Baker had to hold off. He could have taken it easily. And a little crack in the Dodger composure now.
• 1:18:14
  So it's a double for Chambliss. He's out at second base with the second extra base hit of the game.
• 1:18:19
  And here's Greg Nettles that grounded out the Garvey his first time up. Sosa ready to pitch. Sinker low for a ball. Want to know.
• 1:18:28
  Sosa calls time. He wants to talk to Yeager. It might also be win that the noise of the crowd ground out either Baker or Russell calling for the ball and led to that boo boo.
• 1:18:41
  Well, but Baker had it in front of him all the way. It was Baker's play. He should have made the play. Although he had a long run.
• 1:18:50
  Well, you remember earlier Nettles with all that range he has outdid himself, got in front of a ball that Dent could have handled.
• 1:18:59
  It's just the tension and the desire to do all out to overdo occasionally in a World Series game.
• 1:19:07
  Big balloon came out of the stands on the field. So Dick Houser came down from third and stepped on it. Bobby Cox coaching at first for New York.
• 1:19:15
  So set the belt. Nettles waiting one and oh Chambliss away from second. Nobody out the pitch outside ball to an oh Nettles is a very dangerous threat in Yankee Stadium.
• 1:19:30
  Although you can't prove it by his play in this World Series. He has not really hit a hard ball.
• 1:19:35
  Nettles and Willie Randolph were named today to the Sporting News All-Star team for this year along with Steve Garvey of the Dodgers.
• 1:19:41
  So says two oh pitches. The ground ball to second. That'll get the runner over. Loeb's feels it throws out Nettles but Chambliss goes to third one away.
• 1:19:53
  Lou Pinella coming up. He applied out the right field his first time up. The Dodgers treading by a run don't want to give up anymore.
• 1:20:01
  So they bring the infield in here in the fourth inning with Chambliss over at third. That could be a big run in this ball game.
• 1:20:09
  And it could be a gift if New York can cash it in.
• 1:20:13
  And I might say Ross for an infield to come in on Pinella he is the best bat mechanic with the possible exception of Diamond Munson on this Yankee squad.
• 1:20:22
  He can place the ball as though we're on top of a pool table.
• 1:20:26
  Sosa will work out of a stretch to Pinella who is all for eight the last few games.
• 1:20:33
  So ready the pitch. Grounded foul over toward the Dodger dugout.
• 1:20:38
  Four runs four hits one error for the Yankees three runs five hits no errors for the Dodgers.
• 1:20:45
  We're in the last of the fourth Los Angeles got two in the first New York came back with two in the second Los Angeles got one in the third.
• 1:20:52
  New York has two in here in the fourth inning and we've had a three home run this two for the Yankees.
• 1:20:59
  Pinella waiting no balls and one strike. Chambliss off the bag at third.
• 1:21:04
  Here is Sosa's pitch inside and low one and one shortstop Bucky Den is next.
• 1:21:11
  So the Dodgers and Sosa will be careful with Pinella who hit 3 30 during the regular season.
• 1:21:23
  Remember we told you Sosa struck out for Nella the other time he faced him here in the series.
• 1:21:28
  He'd like a strikeout now the stretch the one one pitch breaking ball line left field indeed Baker going back he'll catch it.
• 1:21:36
  And the Sosa and the Chambliss will score after the catch and the Yankees lead five to three.
• 1:21:48
  For Pinella his third RBI of the series and the Yankees cash in a Dodger mistake for the third run of the frame.
• 1:21:57
  That should have been the third out and Sosa the Dodgers should have been back on the bench trailing only four to three.
• 1:22:04
  Because of the misplay in left field the Yankees and another here's Bucky Den with two out and nobody on.
• 1:22:11
  Then granted at the second his first time up checks his swing and didn't go around according to first base umbar Nestor Shilac on an appeal by play them by John McCherry.
• 1:22:23
  Yankees five Dodgers three bottom of the fourth the next one to dent inside ball two to an O when the Dodgers bat in the fifth they'll have the top of the lineup.
• 1:22:33
  Lopes Russell and Smith it's the first time tonight the Dodgers have found themselves behind Sosa no wind up delivery inside the dent ball three three and O the Dodgers have out hit the Yankees five to four.
• 1:22:50
  The Yankees have a couple of two run homers and a gift double which they just cashed in for another run. Sosa winds the pitch to dent called strike scoreboard shows it to two but it's actually three and one since the first pitch was a ball.
• 1:23:09
  Make sure he trying to get the scoreboards attention.
• 1:23:12
  Well he got the three and two there's still a little off Sosa's next pitch breaking ball hammered bowed on the left field side.
• 1:23:19
  So now it's three and two the Bucky Dent the ball boy down the third baseline made a beautiful play on that one reached across his body and got it back handed and the Yankees have done it both ways this round power and then inch him along and fly out to the field and get him in full count pitch on the way from Sosa to dent inside ball four.
• 1:23:48
  That's the second walk by Dodger pitcher who walked Reggie Jackson the second inning and it cost him when Chris Chambliss followed with a home run. Here comes Mike Torres up and he becomes the seventh man to bat at the New York fourth inning.
• 1:24:02
  But to be perfectly honest and fair to Houghton he did not walk him in the fourth inning and it caused more costly in the fourth inning because Jackson put it into the stands with Watson on first and that put the Yankees ahead four to three then the Fuselin left field the ground ball and the sacrifice flyers made it five to three.
• 1:24:23
  Mike Torres went down swinging in the third inning he's over four in the series so sad of a stretch the pitch got the outside corner for a strike.
• 1:24:34
  Mike Torres one of eight children from a Mexican American family which lives in Topeka Kansas. His dad worked for the railroad out there.
• 1:24:43
  He catches in the peek in the Santa Fe there's a bouncer out the left side Bill Russell's got it to make the long foot a guardly and they get Torres but New York goes in front with three runs on three hits and one left at the end of four innings and game six Yankees five Dodgers three.
• 1:25:01
  Listen to the game today whether you're rooting for the Yankees or the Dodgers here's something new I know all of you out there can cheer. New metal roast coffee and grain beverage metal roast coffee and grain beverage metal roast starts with three kinds of rich robust coffee then blends in roasted grain to take away the bitter edge.
• 1:25:23
  Now you enjoy full flavored coffee taste without the bitterness with the new metal roast everybody comes out a winner pick up some metal roasts at your supermarket today it's new from General Food and now a commercial from the makers of Bayer aspirin in Washington the food and drug
• 1:25:42
  has been released important news about aspirin and aspirin substitutes the news release reports that a panel of medical experts in one of their findings found no basis for the claim that aspirin substitutes are safer than aspirin that's right aspirin substitutes were not found safer than aspirin when you want relief get Bayer aspirin Bayer has relieved more pain than any medication in history use only as directed.
• 1:26:11
  The Dodgers come to bat on the top of the fifth.
• 1:26:14
  They went into the bottom of the fourth leading by Iran now they trail by two and the guy out in right field who does everything is picking up papers now Reggie Jackson number 44 he seems to.
• 1:26:28
  Need adversity seems to need turmoil to bring out the best in him he was a part of the.
• 1:26:43
  Yankee stadium this year of 77 remember the near fester cups with his manager in a Boston dugout the various magazine articles Jackson seems to have a genius for saying something two months before it comes out by the time it comes out and pretty wishes he hadn't said it maybe he didn't mean it but this.
• 1:27:04
  Remember the old pinstripe Yankees this year it's been the pinstripe Yankees nevertheless here they are through four innings leading the Dodgers five to three in what could be the last game of the series Ross Yankee manager Billy Martin was given a nice bonus today by the Yankee front office of course he has a couple of more years on his present contract so they had to thank him for.
• 1:27:29
  He's going to go to confidence and Martin will be back next year.
• 1:27:35
  Davey Lopes leads off in the Dodger fifth runs up the button take slow for a ball one ball in those strikes.
• 1:27:40
  Lopes has bounced out twice tonight to Dan in the first inning and back to Torres in the third.
• 1:27:45
  Maybe it's been on base five times in the last two games in Los Angeles and clean a home run into triple Torres is pitch low ball to two and oh Yankees leading now but two runs as we go to the fifth inning.
• 1:27:56
  Lopes steps out and looks down to Gomez at third.
• 1:27:59
  They're not together yet on their signs Gomez has a different set of signs for each Dodger player to oh pitch popped up on the left side.
• 1:28:07
  Bucky Dent going out Lou Penella coming in same play that the Dodgers had this time the Yankees make it work though and Penella has.
• 1:28:19
  One away for Bill Russell who's been a victim of two infield grounders tonight one the second one to short.
• 1:28:26
  Mike Torres never played high school baseball out in the Pica he played American Legion ball and 17 he signed with the Cardinals for a twenty thousand dollar bonus.
• 1:28:37
  Russell takes inside Mike later went to Montreal from St. Louis then Oakland now to the Yankees.
• 1:28:48
  He's a pitch load of Russell for ball to two balls and no strikes and that brings Billy Martin on the run out of the Yankee dugout and it brings Sparky Lyle to his feet in the Yankee bullpen.
• 1:28:58
  And incidentally Ross Mike Torres has not signed a Yankee contract he says they have not offered him one that's sweet enough and here he conceivably could win two of the necessary four in a series and not be a member of the Yankees next year or ever more.
• 1:29:15
  Martin's had his say he's back down the steps of the dugout and Torres ready to go to work to Russell two balls and no strikes.
• 1:29:21
  Reggie Smith on deck.
• 1:29:23
  Torres winds of the pitch had misses outside ball three three and oh Torres is allowed five hits to walk one he struck out three.
• 1:29:33
  He's leading for the first time five to three three oh pitch to Russell is taking it's inside ball four.
• 1:29:43
  So the second walk given up by Torres he walked saying the first inning and the Dodgers made that payoff for two runs when Garvey followed with a two run triple down the right field line.
• 1:29:52
  Reggie Smith hammered his third home run of the series with two out on the third inning and nobody aboard and gave the Dodgers a short live three to two lead Yankees got three in the fourth.
• 1:30:01
  Ground ball is short.
• 1:30:03
  Then Scott had over to Randolph for one back to first double play.
• 1:30:08
  Taylor made one hopper to Bucky Dent near the bag at second.
• 1:30:13
  He turns it into a six four three 20 Kelly the Dodgers are gone in the fifth but at the end of four and a half the game six Yankees five Dodgers three.
• 1:30:22
  If you buy unleaded gasoline you may have noticed that lead isn't the only thing missing.
• 1:30:27
  It's probably pretty low on performance too.
• 1:30:30
  That's because most unleaded just don't have a high enough octane rating to give you the performance you want the performance you used to get from your regular.
• 1:30:37
  In fact according to standards set by the American Society for testing and materials the people who set gasoline standards used by the federal and state governments very few unleaded gas
• 1:30:48
  Leans have a high enough octane to be called regular to help you choose between them one usually sells for less.
• 1:30:58
  Getty getty unleaded regular gives you the clean running engine you expect from an unleaded plus the octane performance you want and you pay less.
• 1:31:06
  Then you would for most other major unleaded.
• 1:31:09
  Now think a minute why settle for an unleaded gasoline that's below regular when you can get one that's regular.
• 1:31:16
  Getty unleaded regular once again we've got what's best for your car.
• 1:31:24
  You're not a championship team as the Dodgers have been in their play in the National League and not have the ability to come back.
• 1:31:32
  There is one fact however they want it so easy so quickly.
• 1:31:39
  Well their metal is certainly going to be tested now and we're going to find out Ross what goes in the last of the fifth.
• 1:31:49
  The double play by the Yankees was their first in the series that Dodgers had the other four.
• 1:31:55
  But that was Taylor made it to round off the Chambliss on a hot smash on one hot by Smith making rivers when they ran off and then Thurman Munson here in the New York Fifth inning.
• 1:32:07
  Five three Yankees.
• 1:32:09
  A Leo Sosa in his second inning of work goes to the lineup of the pitch of the ground ball at the middle face.
• 1:32:16
  And then he hurries in to get the ball rivers a long turnaround first you'll hold on.
• 1:32:26
  With his fifth hit of the series in that is twenty sixth and bad and the Yankees have even the hit totals and five apiece.
• 1:32:34
  Two hits off Sosa the other one was a blooper and the left field and Baker and Russell couldn't get together on a dead drop that led to a Yankee run the third of the fourth inning.
• 1:32:43
  The Dodgers ran off his over to Sosa the football over to Garvey and Rivers back on the bay.
• 1:32:51
  The Dodgers not thirty three come from behind victories during the year.
• 1:32:57
  They'll have to do it tonight if they're to stay alive.
• 1:32:59
  Another third of first base and Rivers back in time Yankee is trying to win a world championship for the first time since nineteen sixty two.
• 1:33:10
  The last time a New York team was a world champion was eight years ago when the nineteen sixty nine Mets did it.
• 1:33:16
  Dodgers haven't won one in a dozen years way back in nineteen sixty five.
• 1:33:20
  They beat Minnesota in seven Sosa ready looks at Rivers the pitch to Randolph around the but takes a called strike.
• 1:33:26
  Oh and one and everybody on the baseball field in motion lobes towards first the shortstop to cover the middle of the diamond say in.
• 1:33:38
  Randolph fighting the slump at the moment he's had one hit in his last sixteen advance in the series four for twenty three overall Sosa again the first base.
• 1:33:50
  Rivers back Ross Porter and well it from Yankee Stadium New York game six of the World Series Yankees five Dodgers three New York trying to wrap it up tonight.
• 1:34:02
  So ready the pitch to Randolph around a bunch does but Yeager's got it he's going to second base to Russell in time to get the force on Rivers.
• 1:34:10
  The throw is on the right field side of the bag but Russell kept his foot on a long enough according to National League umpire Ed Sudol.
• 1:34:17
  And so they get the lead man Rivers and Randolph aboard on a fielders choice and that's about the third time in the series when we've seen a Dodger catcher the other two times being Jerry Grody take a but and turn it into an out that second.
• 1:34:31
  This was a little more difficult on the bounce that Jerry Grody handled they jumped right into his right hand and he didn't have to waste any time but this one Yeager had to go out and gobble.
• 1:34:42
  And there was a question as to whether his throw well it was good enough it didn't draw him off the base that quickly and so they erased Rivers but Randolph on first now is himself very fast.
• 1:34:55
  Thurmond Munson an outstanding World Series hitter over the last two years got his 17th in two years of series competition here tonight.
• 1:35:04
  And first thing Munson does is ask by John McSherry to look at the baseball.
• 1:35:09
  Elias Sosa is using and McSherry throws it out has nothing to do with Sosa regardless.
• 1:35:14
  Thurmond Munson asked for that ball to be looked at as a matter of habit.
• 1:35:26
  The series nine for 17 last year eight for twenty three this year one on one out Sosa stretches to pitch the thermon a pitch out nothing in the works.
• 1:35:45
  The ball in those strikes left hander Doug Raub against the throw in the Dodger bullpen he pitched one inning plus in game four in Los Angeles on Saturday five to three New York bottom of the fifth inning.
• 1:36:01
  Willie Randolph leads away from first with one away.
• 1:36:04
  Here comes the one old pitch the Thurmond Munson breaking ball low ball to two and all the Yankees tonight trying to make it seven World Series championship.
• 1:36:14
  Over the Dodgers and their nine meetings Dodgers beat him only in 1955 while in Brooklyn in a 1963 in Los Angeles Sosa ready again good lead by Randolph and deciding to go after him.
• 1:36:32
  Sosa tosses over to Garvey too late.
• 1:36:35
  This is a vital part of the game because the Dodgers trail by a not insurmountable two runs but to let the scrappy Yankees get any more ahead of you would be a debilitating feeling.
• 1:36:48
  Now the stretch by Sosa Munson waiting to go the pitch broken back looper to center field Monday coming up he's got it.
• 1:36:56
  Randolph had gone two thirds of the way and he draws a throw at first base but it gets back so Munson cracked the bat and fly out the Monday and Thurmond shaking his head as he goes back down the steps of the dugout.
• 1:37:08
  To a way and here's Reggie Jackson who had walked homeward and scored two of the Yankee five runs and Jackson now in World Series history has 20 basets and a 3 28 career average in the series.
• 1:37:22
  1973 1974 and this year in his own run tonight was his fifth World Series home run he now has 12 runs battered in and 14 runs scored.
• 1:37:33
  So when they start playing for the money Reggie gets ready.
• 1:37:37
  So Sosa again a flip over to first base and Randolph back to out a runner at first for New York in the bottom of the fifth.
• 1:37:45
  The Yankees five the Dodgers three when the Dodgers hit in the sixth they'll send up Ron say Steve Garvey and Dusty Baker.
• 1:37:52
  So Sosa set the pitch right field indeed way back going going going.
• 1:37:58
  Another home run for Reggie Jackson and the Yankees laid seven to three and Tom LaSorta is out to talk to his pitch.
• 1:38:24
  And what can you say about Reggie Jackson.
• 1:38:29
  His second home run of the game.
• 1:38:33
  He was walked his first time up which now is a matter of hindsight proves to be the best way to pitch to him.
• 1:38:42
  However it backfired in that second inning when Chris Shambles right after him hit the ball into the right field course.
• 1:38:53
  In the fourth inning Thurman Munson slashed a single to left field and the Dodger pitching staff at that point Bert Hooten made a mistake and pitched to Jackson.
• 1:39:04
  And he hit a line drive some 15 feet high about three hundred and forty feet into the right field stand.
• 1:39:16
  That gave the Yankees a four three lead and unsettled the Dodgers to the point that on the next play Chris Shambles hoisted a high fly to left field.
• 1:39:27
  Russell and Baker got confused and let the ball drop.
• 1:39:32
  Shambles was advanced to third ground ball to the right side and then Lou Pinella a long fly to left field brought him home.
• 1:39:43
  When the Dodgers went down Dossley and their half of the fifth Mickey Rivers rounded a single into center field.
• 1:39:51
  He was forced at second as Willie Randolph attempted to pun him along.
• 1:39:58
  Red Thurman Munson hit a liner a soft one a broken back soft liner to center field and then Reggie Jackson hit an almost duplicate blow.
• 1:40:13
  But our two home runs redundant when you do the same thing twice with the same result.
• 1:40:20
  A line drive to ref field by the right field about 15 feet high two more runs and the Yankees now lead at seven to three in the sixth possibly deciding final game of the 1977 World Series.
• 1:40:39
  In the first five games of the series when the Yankees had had four home runs two of those by Reggie Jackson.
• 1:40:45
  And here tonight they clout three home runs in five innings and Jackson has two of those.
• 1:40:50
  And as I look at the World Series record book I believe that's a new record.
• 1:40:56
  Reggie Jackson's four home runs in a six game series Babe Ruth at three home runs in a six game series in 1923 Ted Klaussoski at three for the White Sox in 1959.
• 1:41:09
  And Reggie Smith it is third here tonight. But the two by Reggie Jackson giving him four.
• 1:41:17
  And if it's all over tonight that would be a new World Series record in fact four is also the seven game series record.
• 1:41:27
  So for a six game series this would be it if it's over tonight.
• 1:41:32
  Doug Rao picks up for a Lea Sosa as the Yankees double their lead and now it is seven to three with two more here in the fifth inning.
• 1:41:40
  And the long ball has propelled New York to that margin.
• 1:41:47
  Chris Chambliss hit the first home run for the Yankees.
• 1:41:50
  That came in the second inning with Jackson aboard and wiped out the Dodgers early two nothing lead.
• 1:41:57
  Chambliss up again. He's got a double in addition to his home run. So three home runs in a double counting for four of the six hits for the Yankees and Rao sends one inside off the chest of Chris Chambliss for a ball two out two over seven three New York in the fifth
• 1:42:15
  Rao's pitch low ball to two and over and anything you might say about Reggie Jackson that we have neglected to say up to now it isn't necessary to say.
• 1:42:26
  Two balls and no strikes to Chambliss the pitch by Rao gets the outside corner for his strike Reggie now with three runs tonight that gives him nine runs in the six game series.
• 1:42:38
  He has been on base and the Yankees have brought him around breaking ball hammered on one half the Garvey behind the bag at first and he'll take care of Chambliss.
• 1:42:46
  But the Yankees get two more runs on two hits and at the end of five innings in game six Yankees seven Dodgers three.
• 1:43:00

• 1:44:00
  This time of the year you often hear baseball fans saying wait till next year.
• 1:44:05
  And while your favorite team is planning for that you ought to order season tickets because now is the best time the best locations are available for your family or your business.
• 1:44:16

• 1:44:24
  And you'll find yourself saying I just can't wait till next year.
• 1:44:28
  The preceding was brought to you on behalf of Major League Baseball.
• 1:44:32
  When Reggie Jackson ambled out to right field his port crowd rose in unison and greeted him.
• 1:44:40
  He took off his hat and that was the signal for the third the first base side just to the right of home plate on home plate.
• 1:44:48
  He got half the ballpark breeding him as he lifted his cap.
• 1:44:52
  This has been Reggie Jackson's night and oh how he must love it.
• 1:45:01
  We go to the sixth inning at Yankee Stadium.
• 1:45:03
  New York seven Los Angeles three and Ryan say leads off to the Dodgers.
• 1:45:07
  He has walked and singled towards his first pitches low for a ball one and oh the Dodgers have had runners in four of their first five at best only in the second inning was Torres able to get him in order.
• 1:45:17
  There's ball two high to say to an oh three Yankee home runs.
• 1:45:24
  Two by Reggie Jackson and one by Chris Chambliss and the Yankees leading by four say takes ball three high three and oh Billy Martin had Sparky Lyle of earlier and he's going back to the bullpen now to get somebody else up and throwing.
• 1:45:38
  And it looks like Sparky again the three oh pitched Iran say it called strike three and one Babe Ruth one time at three home runs in a series game.
• 1:45:49
  In fact he did it twice.
• 1:45:54
  Ruth at three home runs in a game in 1926 and again three in 1928 one night or one day at that time three to pitch got say swinging.
• 1:46:04
  So Mike Torres fell behind three and oh and then fan Ron say that was Mike's fourth strike out of the night.
• 1:46:14
  And you can just see him swelling to his chest with the help of those long blows that have put him four runs ahead.
• 1:46:21
  He's really on his game now.
• 1:46:25
  Steve Garvey tripled in the Dodgers first two runs in the opening inning he applied to center a deep drive his last time up Garvey Buntz but it's foul back into the stands.
• 1:46:33
  So Garvey likes to lay the ball down and as a very adept runner pop that one back into the seats at his own one.
• 1:46:42
  Reggie Jackson's nine runs in the six games would also be a New World Series record.
• 1:46:47
  Babe Ruth and somebody named Alvin Powell had eight runs each in two six game series.
• 1:46:54
  Ruth and Gary in separate years had nine runs scored in only four games.
• 1:46:59
  That's hard to do murder is wrong.
• 1:47:02
  The oh one pitch to Garvey popped up in the right field.
• 1:47:04
  Jackson coming up for it waiting.
• 1:47:06
  He's there now.
• 1:47:07
  He's got it to a way the Dodgers are down to their last 10 outs trailing seven to three in the sixth inning.
• 1:47:18
  Here's Desti Baker has been called out on strikes and fly to right field.
• 1:47:24
  I remember a game in Philadelphia where they were down to their last out and two runs behind with nobody on base in the ninth inning.
• 1:47:32
  They're called strike to Baker.
• 1:47:37
  So Torres is adrenaline pumping as one said because of the Yankee offense goes to work to Baker again.
• 1:47:41
  There's a drive to left field but now going back for it at the warning track you'll have a boy waiting.
• 1:47:46
  He got it.
• 1:47:48
  Baker out on a long flight of left Torres gets the Dodgers in order in the sixth and at the end of five and a half innings Yankee seven Dodgers three.

• 1:49:31
  73 Yankees last half of the sixth inning on the Yankee who had more home runs than anybody during the regular season.
• 1:49:38
  The third baseman Greg Nettles who just made all star third baseman today.
• 1:49:44
  He's coming up against Doug Rao.
• 1:49:47
  Nettles has hit a couple of ground balls to the right side tonight one to Garvey one to Lopes.
• 1:49:54
  Seven runs six hits one error for the Yankees including three home runs three runs five hits no errors for the Dodgers one home run breaking ball from Ralph recall strike the Nettles.
• 1:50:12
  Rao who worked in the name on Saturday goes to the wind up and the pitches swung on a miss by Nettles strike two 0 and 2.
• 1:50:19
  The Dodger scouting report said jam Reggie Jackson with hard stuff a lot of fastballs will appear tonight that both times Jackson hit fastballs and hit him over the ball over the wall and right field for home runs.
• 1:50:31
  Next pitch the Nettles is outside and one ball and two strikes.
• 1:50:38
  Now ready again the one to pitch ground it foul toward the Yankee dugout over the first base side Dodgers led to nothing Yankees caught him Dodgers led 3 2 Yankees went ahead five to three and seven to three.
• 1:50:56
  That's where we are in the bottom of the sixth inning Nettles waiting Doug Rao Wines in the one to pitch got him swinging on a hard fastball inside.
• 1:51:06
  The second strikeout by the three Dodger pitchers who have struck out Mike Torres.
• 1:51:11
  Here's Lou Penella Penella 0 for one tonight a sacrifice fly his last time up after a pop fly to right but Penella made a defensive play in this ballgame in the fourth inning which really helped the Yankees out.
• 1:51:32
  They were trailing at the time three to two.
• 1:51:37
  Penella hits a foul out of play along the right field line back into the second deck with Monday at first and one out of the Dodger for the Yeager hit a smash off the box seats halfway down the left field line but a ricochet back to Penella Monday went to third but Penella went after Yeager and nipped him at second.
• 1:51:55
  The Dodgers potential beginning was thwarted pitches inside the Penella for a ball one on one.
• 1:52:08
  Texan delivers there's a drive up in a center field Monday turns goes back he's there now in front of the warning track to make the catch.
• 1:52:18
  To I'm Bucky Dent has bounced out and walked tonight. I don't imagine I'll make the Dodgers Reuters feel any better but Bakers fly ball to left field that ended the previous half for the Dodgers would have been a home run in right field.
• 1:52:32
  That Penella smash had had gone to right field instead of center it would have been a home run.
• 1:52:39
  Dent waits for Rouse pitch was his hide away from all one and all when the Dodgers bat on the seventh inning they'll send up Rick Monday Steve Yeager and a hitter for Doug Ralph.
• 1:52:49
  So the Dodgers have somebody else up in the bullpen and right field it looks like Charlie Huff Dent sends a fly ball down the left field line that's going to be foul Baker coming over and it'll go back out of play Ross it is hot one ball and one strike to Bucky Dent Charlie Huff.
• 1:53:06
  Pitch well in Los Angeles in game three of the series when it took over from Tommy John and pitch three hitless Emmins or he gave it one hit no runs in three Emmins.
• 1:53:19
  Dent waits for Rouse one one pitch swing and a miss strike two one and two.
• 1:53:30
  The Dodgers have been in an incredible amount of their games this year they bet out of contention and only six of the 171 games they have played.
• 1:53:38
  There's a ball low in the dirt to dent two and two.
• 1:53:42
  So when they are behind by four runs it's very unusual.
• 1:53:50
  They were routed one day in Pittsburgh this year 11 to four lost a couple of other games by five runs or six.
• 1:53:56
  There's a ground ball to the left side Russell comes in gloves that one hand it throws in time.
• 1:54:02
  Justin's I'm Garvey at the ticket out on a hop and they get Bucky Dent Yankees going order but at the end of six in game six New York seven Los Angeles three.
• 1:54:15
  I was really up in the air about what kind of a car to buy.
• 1:54:19
  I wanted a compact for the economy and maneuverability but I wanted a car with luxury to well I not only got one.
• 1:54:25
  I got it for a lot less than I expected because now I drive a 1978 AMC Concorde DL two door sedan.
• 1:54:33
  The Concorde DL is an all new model this year and it's a beauty.
• 1:54:37
  It has a land out vinyl roof with opera windows crushed for lure interior with individual reclining seats whitewall tires with color keyed wheel covers wood grained instrument panel and a lot more all standard.
• 1:54:50
  Sure other compacts offer those features but why pay extra when you can get them all standard.
• 1:54:56
  That's not all.
• 1:54:57
  I also get the protection of AMC's buyer protection plan and Concorde DL smooth quiet ride.
• 1:55:04
  I guess Concorde DL is exactly what they say the luxury Americans want the size American needs.
• 1:55:11
  See the new Concorde DL now at your nearby AMC dealers.
• 1:55:16
  Let's pause five seconds for a station identification.
• 1:55:21
  This is the CBS radio network WCBS New York.
• 1:55:26
  So we go to the top of the seventh with the Dodgers trailing before but let's remind ourselves that the Yankees four runs that they lead by worse.
• 1:55:38
  Whiffed incoming Reggie Jackson a home run and the third and another one in the fourth each time with a man aboard a miscue by the Dodgers although it won't go as an error and a sacrifice fly.
• 1:55:50
  And that's how the Yankees are in the lead.
• 1:55:52
  So with one swing of the bat the complexion can turn immediately.
• 1:55:57
  We go to the top of the seventh at Dispin Los Angeles it would be followed by two choruses.
• 1:56:04
  Take me out to the ball game.
• 1:56:06
  Let's see how the Dodgers react in the seventh inning.
• 1:56:12
  Rick Monday will lead off for the Dodgers.
• 1:56:14
  He is bounced out in single tonight Monday two for nine in the series.
• 1:56:21
  Now one for six against Mike Torres the first one to Monday a ground ball to the right side will round off plugs the gap feels it throws the chambliss one away.
• 1:56:34
  For the Dodgers first ball hitting frequently denied against Mike Torres in Monday makes the first out of the seventh inning.
• 1:56:44
  Steve Yeager got the last Dodger hit.
• 1:56:47
  That was the ball that he shot off the box seats on a hop along the left field line in the fourth inning and then was thrown out on a great peg by Lou Pinella the second base.
• 1:56:58
  Since then the Dodgers have had only one runner Russell who walked in the fifth and was doubled up on Smith's ground ball.
• 1:57:04
  Yeager swings and misses again the first ball but in all honesty they Mike has only walked two people tonight.
• 1:57:12
  Torres is fan for he's allowed five hits he's leading seven to three in the seventh inning.
• 1:57:19
  The next one of the Dodger catchers low for a ball one on one.
• 1:57:24
  The Dodgers to show you what they've done have surrendered seven or more runs now in 24 games this year.
• 1:57:30
  And before tonight they had lost 19 of the other 23 when they gave up that many ground ball right back to the pitcher.
• 1:57:36
  Torres grabs it and throws out Yeager twice tonight.
• 1:57:43
  The Torres has helped himself with the glove.
• 1:57:45
  He's also the third inning and now Yeager for the second out in the seventh and the Dodgers are down to their last seven outs as Ed Goodson comes out to hit for Doug Rao.
• 1:57:55
  I don't know whether Billy senses that Torres is tiring or lost his stuff.
• 1:58:00
  He's had Sparky Lyle up on the bullpen and now Billy is out at the pitchers mound discussing Torres both with Mike and catcher Thurman Munson and the third baseman Greg Nettles is over there.
• 1:58:11
  I suspect Billy is not going to take the slightest bit of chance.
• 1:58:15
  He's back to the dugout.
• 1:58:17
  Lyle is still working in the bullpen and Mike Torres is still on the mound.
• 1:58:25
  Ed Goodson a left handed hitter used as a pinch hitter by the Dodgers this year.
• 1:58:31
  Takes a call strike from Mike Torres.
• 1:58:35
  This is the first time Goodson has batted in the World Series.
• 1:58:40
  The maximum Torres is a ground ball foul.
• 1:58:42
  I belong first base and so quickly Torres jumps ahead 0 and 2 to Ed Goodson.
• 1:58:54
  Seven to three Yankees at the seventh inning of Game Six.
• 1:58:57
  Torres is pitch low for a ball one and two to Goodson.
• 1:59:08
  The ball is out.
• 1:59:10
  Nobody aboard.
• 1:59:12
  Torres ready the one to pitch got him swinging.
• 1:59:16
  The last seven Dodgers to face him since the walk to Russell and at the end of six and a half innings in Game Six Yankee seven Dodgers three.
• 1:59:34
  Goodson fight the congestion shrink the swollen membranes help relieve the runny,
• 1:59:38
  sneezey, cloggy misery caused by every known cold virus.
• 1:59:41
  Are you sure?
• 1:59:42
  Contact, Ann.
• 1:59:44
  Today's contact does all that up to 12 hours all day all night.
• 1:59:48
  No matter what cold virus attack, that's the one to contact.
• 1:59:54
  Take only his direct.
• 1:59:58
  The New York Yankee Stadium crowd taking a leaf in the songbook of the Los Angeles fans is now doing take me out to the ball game themselves.
• 2:00:08
  A little disorganized somewhat cacophonous in fact and no no substitution that's go go go the Yankees.
• 2:00:17
  Let's take this moment while we may to recognize and to thank all the folks who've helped in this broadcast.
• 2:00:24
  That means the secretary's operations personnel the technical people both the New York and Los Angeles boy you've been so much help to Ross and Bill and Mr.
• 2:00:35
  kinder and Mr. Coleman out there in San Diego.
• 2:00:39
  We want to thank you.
• 2:00:40
  We're proud of your efforts and we want everybody to know you.
• 2:00:44
  Thanks again boys and girls.
• 2:00:47
  We're down to the last half of the seventh and this kind of a holiday spirit.
• 2:00:51
  Now I don't know whether it's premature.
• 2:00:54
  You've seen any number of ball games blow up in the eighth inning and the ninth inning.
• 2:00:58
  But right now you're going to have a hard time convincing the Yankee fans here that their Yankees are not going to be the world's champions in 1977.
• 2:01:08
  Right now they hold a lead of seven to three and they're going to face a new Dodger pitcher Charlie Huff the knuckleball specialist.
• 2:01:17
  The Dodgers got off front in the first inning bang bang two to nothing.
• 2:01:22
  But the Yankees came back in the second inning to run Chris Shambles homerun tied it up.
• 2:01:29
  Then Reggie Smith hit one into the right field porch in the third inning to give the Dodgers a three to lead.
• 2:01:36
  But that was the last time Reggie Jackson a two run homer in the fourth inning a misplay in left field and eventually a sacrifice fly.
• 2:01:46
  Made it another run in that fifth inning rather the fourth inning for the Yankees and then would you believe it again.
• 2:01:54
  A two run homerun by Reggie Jackson in the fifth inning.
• 2:01:58
  And we are now where we are.
• 2:02:00
  Seven to three New York Yankees last half of the seventh and the big guy from Topeka Kansas already nine innings a winner.
• 2:02:11
  Did say to go the route again Mike Torres.
• 2:02:17
  Torres gets a standing ovation as he comes to the plate to lead off for New York at the bottom of the seventh inning.
• 2:02:23
  Go face knuckleball or Charlie Huff.
• 2:02:27
  Torres has struck out and bounced out tonight.
• 2:02:30
  Mike taps one foul behind the plate.
• 2:02:34
  Huff and his three scoreless innings of relief in Los Angeles in game three Friday night.
• 2:02:40
  All out only a base hit a single to Mickey Rivers in the ninth inning.
• 2:02:44
  Torres holds up on a knuckleball outside one on one.
• 2:02:48
  Huff this year for the Dodgers one six games saved 22 others.
• 2:02:53
  He was instrumental in the Dodgers fast getaway in April and May.
• 2:02:57
  One one pitch knuckleball swung on a miss strike two one and two.
• 2:03:03
  Reggie Jackson was the most valuable player of the 1973 World Series and he might very well be the MVP in 1977.
• 2:03:11
  The way things are going.
• 2:03:12
  Torres swings and misses striking out on a dancer from Charlie Huff.
• 2:03:16
  But the fans applaud him anyway as he goes back to take a seat.
• 2:03:20
  Mike if Reggie isn't the guy who's going back to the dugout Mike Torres who bids fair to a pitch two and one to complete games without a contract.
• 2:03:31
  It's going to be pretty hard to talk to Mike after this is over as he hasn't signed and he is a two game winner in the series.
• 2:03:39
  Wow.
• 2:03:40
  And he's led the Yankees staff and victories win with 17.
• 2:03:44
  Rivers takes a knuckleball outside of all bounces behind the plate.
• 2:03:47
  Want to know.
• 2:03:49
  Torres of course also had the most starts for the Yankees this year the most complete games with 17 the most innings pitched 244.
• 2:03:57
  So he was a big cog in the wheel knuckleball from Huff is outside the Rivers ball to two and 0.
• 2:04:04
  Even not keeping score with us when the Dodgers come up in the eighth they'll have a low up for Russell and Smith to face Mike Torres.
• 2:04:11
  Huffs to a pitch line drive base hit by Rivers into the right field corner.
• 2:04:15
  Smith over to get it.
• 2:04:16
  Rivers around first he'll hold as Smith gets it back in a hurry and Mickey Rivers has got his second straight hit his sixth of the series.
• 2:04:23
  A one out single here in the seventh inning.
• 2:04:29
  That's the Yankees seventh hit.
• 2:04:33
  Dodgers have five.
• 2:04:36
  Willie Randolph is 0 for three tonight he tried to but Rivers to second base in the fifth inning wound up a force out at second but Randolph scored when Reggie Jackson powered his second home run of the game into the right field seats.
• 2:04:52
  Huff stretches the pitch knuckleball strike pops out of Yeager's glove rolls in front of the plate but he's out to get it 0 and 1.
• 2:05:03
  Another welcome tonight to all of our military personnel around the world.
• 2:05:06
  American forces radio.
• 2:05:09
  Hope you're enjoying our account.
• 2:05:10
  Ross Porter with one Elliott from New York game six the Yankees trying to sell up their first world championship since 1962.
• 2:05:19
  And there are four runs ahead in the bottom of the seventh inning.
• 2:05:22
  How throws the first Rivers back.
• 2:05:25
  Rivers stole a base off of the ninth inning of game three after he singled but he was left at second Randolph taps and foul behind a plate of lunging for a knuckleball 0 and 2.
• 2:05:36
  The Yankees don't see that many knuckleballers during the American League campaign.
• 2:05:40
  Of course Wilbur Wood from the White Sox will throw that dancer up there.
• 2:05:44
  You don't see much of a knuckleball anyway.
• 2:05:46
  Well the Negro boys in the National League have got it down pretty well Joe and Phil.
• 2:05:50
  But you're right.
• 2:05:51
  There are not that many around.
• 2:05:54
  Randolph waiting 0 and 2 1 out 1 on 7 3 New York knuckleball high inside and Randolph leans out of the oil.
• 2:06:01
  Lance Rotson a left hander begins to throw in the Dodger bullpen.
• 2:06:10
  Yankees trailed two to nothing caught up at two fell behind three to lead five three and now seven three.
• 2:06:18
  The pitch to Randolph got him swinging knuckleball.
• 2:06:20
  Wait a minute.
• 2:06:21
  Did he fall out of the glove.
• 2:06:23
  Apparently so is the Randolph still alive.
• 2:06:25
  Yeager couldn't hold on to it.
• 2:06:27
  Chase the high knuckle.
• 2:06:29
  But got just enough of it on the bat.
• 2:06:31
  To tip it off.
• 2:06:32
  So it's one and two.
• 2:06:41
  Now the stretch by Charlie Huff he looks at rivers and now backs off the mound.
• 2:06:48
  Huff was about through as a pitcher when a scout for the Dodgers named Goldie Holt told him how to throw the knuckleball.
• 2:06:56
  There's a high outside pitch.
• 2:06:58
  They thought maybe Rivers was going to pitch you out of this two and two.
• 2:07:08
  Here in the seventh Torres struck out but Rivers single now Randolph waiting two and two the pitch knuckleball fell back off Yeager's right shoulder.
• 2:07:17
  Count is still even to two.
• 2:07:24
  The long ball has been the Yankee power story tonight.
• 2:07:27
  Two run homer by Chambliss in the second inning.
• 2:07:29
  Two run homer by Jackson in the fourth.
• 2:07:31
  Two run homer by Jackson in the fifth.
• 2:07:34
  So the three long shots have accounted for six of the seven New York runs.
• 2:07:38
  There goes Rivers.
• 2:07:39
  Randolph bounces one to say looks at second but his only play is the Garvey.
• 2:07:42
  They get Randolph and Rivers moves up 90 feet to second base.
• 2:07:46
  So by sending Rivers the Yankee stayed out of a double play.
• 2:07:50
  And here's Thurman Munson coming up.
• 2:07:55
  Munson has a single tonight and three at bats.
• 2:07:59
  Thurman with eight hits in this year's series.
• 2:08:03
  Reggie Jackson has eight for the Yankees in the six games.
• 2:08:07
  Steve Garvey has eight for the Dodgers.
• 2:08:12
  And you get the feeling that this stadium crowd already is consigning the games to the world's champions and they're saluting their heroes giving them their accolades as they come to bat.
• 2:08:24
  Charlie Huff looks at Rivers deals to Munson of all is tapped off of Munson's foot at the plate foul.
• 2:08:30
  And Yeager goes out to help his fellow catcher up.
• 2:08:35
  Their friends they had dinner together in Los Angeles the other night after one of the series games.
• 2:08:41
  So the catchers for turn today had a little meeting.
• 2:08:44
  And Yeager is looking over to the Yankee dugout where big Cliff Johnson another catcher is giving it in business.
• 2:08:51
  And they're both grinning at each other.
• 2:08:59
  Munson digging a toe hold in from the right side.
• 2:09:02
  Rivers the runner at second for the Yankees here in the bottom of the seventh inning.
• 2:09:06
  New York seven Los Angeles three two out Huff at the belt.
• 2:09:10
  And now balloons come out of the field and Huff steps back.
• 2:09:14
  So we've got a yellow balloon in front of the plate.
• 2:09:16
  A green balloon making its way up toward the first base bag.
• 2:09:21
  John McSherry goes out to get the yellow balloon.
• 2:09:23
  Yankee Batboy gets the green one.
• 2:09:28
  At least they're not throwing things tonight when just balloons.
• 2:09:32
  Well the mood's a little different.
• 2:09:37
  All is well with the world right now for the Yankee fans are four runs ahead.
• 2:09:41
  Now this is the second half of the season.
• 2:09:46
  The Yankee Belcevs and swings and misses at a knuckleball from Huff.
• 2:09:50
  Oh and to he's got a good one.
• 2:09:53
  Charlie Huff came under a lot of criticism in Los Angeles this year and much of it was unjust.
• 2:10:00
  Charlie Huff had hurt his arm being overworked from the fans didn't know it.
• 2:10:04
  As a result he started coming three quarters that over the top.
• 2:10:08
  then Mike Garmin pulled a hamstring muscle
• 2:10:10
  and Garmin couldn't go in the bullpen.
• 2:10:12
  So he had to stay with Huff
• 2:10:13
  and it was then that Huff hurt the shoulder.
• 2:10:15
  Altered his delivery and the opposing batter
• 2:10:17
  started to rock him.
• 2:10:18
  Two-two pitch.
• 2:10:20
  Swung on a miss, ball gets away from Yeager
• 2:10:21
  but not far enough and the throw down to Garvey
• 2:10:23
  retires Munson after the strikeout.
• 2:10:26
  So no runs, one hit, one left.
• 2:10:28
  Huff gets two strikeouts.
• 2:10:30
  But at the end of seven innings in game six.
• 2:10:32
  It's still Yankee seven and the Dodgers three.
• 2:10:35

• 2:11:40
  in the mound warming up as we go into the top of the eighth with Mike and his
• 2:11:44
  Yankees holding a seven to three lead Mike has occasionally struggled in this
• 2:11:49
  game but whenever he had to dig down and get it like the ball players say he did
• 2:11:54
  it cost him in the first inning wasn't really his fault two out a ground ball
• 2:12:00
  to short mishandled by Bucky Dent and then trouble Steve Garvey a triple down
• 2:12:07
  the line drove in not only Reggie Smith
• 2:12:37
  the series the first pitch of call
• 2:13:07
  strike Mike Torres a pitch 88 pitches in the first seven innings we told you
• 2:13:15
  through 133 the last outing lobes the ground ball base hit up the middle of
• 2:13:19
  the left of dead in the center field so lobes collects the Dodgers sixth hit and
• 2:13:23
  the speedy second baseman is aboard and Billy Martin at Sparky Lyle up and
• 2:13:28
  throwing before Mike Torres ever went to the mound here in the eighth inning
• 2:13:32
  Sparky has not appeared in the last four games to possibly the entire series we
• 2:13:39
  haven't seen him since game one well he did throw an eight through an any that's
• 2:13:43
  right Garvey at the home run off of him in the ninth inning right six days ago
• 2:13:46
  here's Russell is over two plus a walk tonight Torres goes to first and lobes
• 2:13:51
  back Mike Torres served up 21 pitches in the first inning six in the second
• 2:13:56
  nineteen and the third and then 13 912 and eight Russell takes inside on the
• 2:14:02
  corner for a strike on one the Dodgers need base runners they got the big guns
• 2:14:07
  coming up but there are four runs behind lobes with the leadoff single here in
• 2:14:11
  the Los Angeles eighth inning Torres is ready the pitch to Russell takes outside
• 2:14:16
  for a ball one on a word about Lyle he's always maintained that he pitches best
• 2:14:20
  when he pitches most often the time off he's had for a spark he is almost a
• 2:14:25
  sabbatical I wonder what his touch will be like if he comes in the pitch to
• 2:14:29
  Russell did he go around yes he does that John McSherry couldn't check his
• 2:14:33
  swing right inside pitch and Russell's behind one and two twenty three times this
• 2:14:41
  year the Dodgers scored five or more runs in an inning only need five right now
• 2:14:45
  to go ahead and it's the eighth inning they're running out of time Torres is
• 2:14:49
  ready to one to pitch outside two and two twenty seven times this year the
• 2:14:55
  Dodgers batted around and almost half of their games they scored five or more
• 2:15:00
  runs so they have the offensive capabilities but they're gonna need them
• 2:15:05
  now in a hurry the stretch the two to pitch to Russell outside ball three
• 2:15:10
  three and two and it could be when if Torres walks Russell he's gone
• 2:15:14
  Martin is on his feet Reggie Smith on deck seven to three Yankees nobody out
• 2:15:22
  of the eighth and loops away from first doubtful he will run on this pitch the
• 2:15:25
  three to Russell find right the right field but it's gonna hang up long enough
• 2:15:29
  for Jackson to make a one handed catch over his head to Russell went the other
• 2:15:34
  way but not far enough and Jackson had enough room to stretch high and glove it
• 2:15:39
  one away in the Dodger eighth inning and the Yankees are five outs away from
• 2:15:44
  their first world title in 15 years and here's their big gun the guy who already
• 2:15:50
  has a homer in this game three on the series Reggie Smith Smith has scored
• 2:15:55
  two of the Dodgers three runs tonight safe on an errand scored in the first
• 2:15:58
  homer to the third and into a double plays last time up and Smith takes inside
• 2:16:02
  from Mike Torres for a ball Torres making his 14th career appearance against
• 2:16:07
  the Dodgers 13 of those with the Cardinals and Expos he's been two and
• 2:16:11
  five against them over the years but the night he's ahead there's a fastball for
• 2:16:15
  a call strike to Smith leveling the count at one ball in one strike the other
• 2:16:22
  day in Los Angeles Lopes with the Dodgers behind attempted to steal stealing
• 2:16:26
  was snuffed out I don't think he'll do it tonight not four runs behind now the
• 2:16:30
  stretch the pitch to Reggie low inside ball to two and one Ron say on deck
• 2:16:37
  Steve Garvey to follow the Dodgers bringing their big thunder up for maybe
• 2:16:43
  the last time this year two balls and a strike to Smith Mike Torres stretches
• 2:16:48
  looks at a loax the pitch pop found out of play behind the plate two balls and
• 2:16:53
  two strikes if the Dodgers lose tonight they will fly home immediately after the
• 2:17:00
  game and they'll be back in Los Angeles sometime between 3 30 and 4 o'clock in
• 2:17:06
  the morning West Coast time and a celebration would still be going on in
• 2:17:13
  New York about that time I'm sure of the Yankees win to pitch to Smith
• 2:17:16
  ground ball to first channelist gloves it down to the shortstop covering for one
• 2:17:20
  back the first double boy for the second straight time Reggie Smith
• 2:17:29
  grounds into a double play shambles made it look easy three six three the
• 2:17:36
  Dodgers turned away with one hit in the eighth inning and the Yankees are three
• 2:17:40
  outs away from a world championship at the end of seven and a half innings
• 2:17:44
  Yankees seven Dodgers three while the Yankees are coming up to bat I'd like to
• 2:17:50
  take this opportunity to tell you about something I know all of you'd enjoy
• 2:17:53
  along with the game tonight and that's new metal roast coffee and grain beverage
• 2:18:00
  starts with three kinds of rich robust coffee and then blends in roasted grain
• 2:18:05
  to take away the bitter end so you enjoy full-flavored coffee taste without the
• 2:18:10
  bitterness and with all that going for it new metal roast is sure to be a hit
• 2:18:15
  pick up some metal roast at your supermarket today it's new from General
• 2:18:21
  and now a commercial from the makers of Bayer aspirin in Washington the food and
• 2:18:27
  drug administration released important news about aspirin and aspirin
• 2:18:30
  substitutes the news release reports that a panel of medical experts in one of
• 2:18:34
  their findings found no basis for the claim that aspirin substitutes are
• 2:18:39
  safer than aspirin that's right aspirin substitutes were not found safer than
• 2:18:44
  aspirin when you want relief get Bayer aspirin Bayer has relieved more pain
• 2:18:48
  than any medication in history use only as directed
• 2:18:55
  wouldn't you know it first up to bat for the New York Yankees in this last half
• 2:19:00
  of the eighth Reggie Jackson in the series he scored nine driven in what seven
• 2:19:07
  earlier in this series Reggie said about his manager and the strife they've
• 2:19:13
  known that Billy Martin deserved the Nobel Peace Prize for keeping the peace
• 2:19:20
  well that's a hand for Reggie Jackson when I wouldn't have guessed it since
• 2:19:27
  Nobel was the scientist who invented or discovered dynamite perhaps part of that
• 2:19:33
  prize should go to Reggie Jackson Jackson with four runs batted in since a
• 2:19:38
  fly ball is center field indeed that's gonna be way back and that's gonna be gone Reggie Jackson
• 2:19:43
  as it is for the home run of the game Reggie Jackson becomes
• 2:20:08
  the second man in World Series history they had three home runs in a game we
• 2:20:14
  told you earlier Babe Ruth did it on two occasions in 1926 and in 1928 and
• 2:20:20
  Jackson just crunched one over the center field wall that must have been 440
• 2:20:27
  feet or more away and they want Jackson to come out and take a bow with the
• 2:20:31
  Yankees leading eight to three in the eighth inning and Reggie Jackson with
• 2:20:35
  three home runs and five are behind and there he is takes his head off waves his
• 2:20:41
  acknowledgement to the Yankee fans says thank you very much what a performance
• 2:20:48
  tonight by Reggie Jackson who has been in the center of controversy with the
• 2:20:52
  Yankees all year long I don't know there isn't anything to say or at least it's
• 2:20:58
  beyond me the championship of heroics Reggie Jackson three million dollars to
• 2:21:07
  get him here he has often said he doesn't want to come back here I don't
• 2:21:13
  believe it for one second I never had Reggie Jackson could have had more money
• 2:21:18
  by going to Montreal he could have had more money probably going to three other
• 2:21:23
  places but he came here because this is where the newsmakers are and ready has
• 2:21:31
  made it good and or bad and that's what he wanted and then this sixth and
• 2:21:39
  obviously deciding game of the world series ready just took charge three home
• 2:21:46
  runs to back up Mike Torres put it here's Chris Chambliss taking a knuckleball
• 2:21:53
  from Huff for a ball so Reggie Jackson with five home runs in this year's
• 2:21:57
  world series and three of them in game six all kinds of records four runs scored
• 2:22:03
  tonight by Reggie Jackson ten runs scored in the series in six games by Reggie
• 2:22:09
  knuckleball loaded Chambliss ball to Huff is ready the next pitch ground ball to
• 2:22:14
  the right side looks over to his left to glove it turns and throws the garbys for
• 2:22:18
  the out but the fans still buzzing over the spectacular performance tonight of
• 2:22:23
  Reggie Jackson you know we told you was the MVP in the 1973 World Series with
• 2:22:28
  Oakland you know how many home runs he hit in that World Series one I want to
• 2:22:33
  tell you that last home run he hit we didn't get around to telling you about
• 2:22:37
  it it was almost dead center that's no man's not it must have been 450 feet
• 2:22:44
  here's Greg Nettles his 0 4 3 tonight 8 to 3 New York Nettles grounds at foul
• 2:22:50
  outside of first so these New Yorkers ready to erupt three outs away from a
• 2:22:56
  world championship Jackson's had nine hits in the series and five have been
• 2:23:04
  home runs knuckleball and Nettles loan inside one and one and it's we're number
• 2:23:08
  one from all sides of Yankee Stadium as far as the crowd is concerned the game
• 2:23:14
  is over it's time to celebrate more on Reggie Jackson is now hitting 450 in
• 2:23:20
  this series nine for 20 pitch the Nettles swung on and missed one and two he
• 2:23:26
  scored 10 runs he's had nine hits a double five home runs and eight runs
• 2:23:32
  battered in five of those tonight they can give him the car right now for the
• 2:23:37
  MVP knuckleball inside called strike three on the corner and Nettles is out
• 2:23:42
  that's half third strikeout but the Yankees have opened up a five run
• 2:23:47
  cushion to take to the ninth inning I guess if anybody's happier than Reggie
• 2:23:53
  and I doubt that anybody is at the moment it's the owner of the New York
• 2:23:57
  Yankees or the principal owner George Steinbrenner who's been in the midst of
• 2:24:01
  this all the way through but the indication tonight knuckleball to
• 2:24:07
  Lupinella's inside for ball one and oh they're gonna be a lot of people claim
• 2:24:10
  win that George Steinbrenner bought a world championship but this ball club
• 2:24:15
  really gel this year here in New York knuckleball outside to know well they
• 2:24:19
  had a magnificent season last year and then fell apart in the world series this
• 2:24:24
  year they didn't clinch until they were sitting in the dressing room while it was
• 2:24:27
  raining outside the day before but they've done it in the series the 2-0
• 2:24:32
  pitch to Penella's bounce foul over toward the Dodger dugout when the Dodgers
• 2:24:36
  bat on the ninth their last hopes will rest on the shoulders of Ron say Steve
• 2:24:41
  Garvey and Dusty Baker I think it's fair to say about the Yankee
• 2:24:46
  organization too and we'll say it after this pitch but now the loops had fell
• 2:24:51
  back on the stand in the stands behind home plate two balls to strike beyond
• 2:24:56
  the purchases by mr. Steinbrenner the first second short third baseman left
• 2:25:02
  fielder center fielder were all trades the right fielder was a free agent the
• 2:25:08
  catcher grew up in the organization Penella pops one back at first Garvey
• 2:25:12
  going back to get it straddling the line and foul territory makes a catch but
• 2:25:16
  the Yankees get another run on one hit Reggie Jackson's third home run of the
• 2:25:21
  night and their underfated Jackson races out the right field at the end of eight
• 2:25:26
  innings in game six Yankees eight Dodgers three you hear that for Reggie Jackson
• 2:25:36
  going to right field takes off his hat salutes his fans even as they salute him
• 2:25:44
  go go go Reggie in one of the most spectacular World Series performances
• 2:25:50
  in history Reggie Jackson adored at the moment occasionally Abhorred but
• 2:25:57
  currently adored and what a way to end the season oh boy you can read all about
• 2:26:05

  Series program post office box 666 San Francisco California 9 4 1 0 1 the
• 2:26:33
  preceding has been brought to you on behalf of major league baseball and
• 2:26:38
  talking about the biggies remember the Super Bowl Sunday January 15th right
• 2:26:43
  here all the play-by-play action from New Orleans on most of these CBS radio
• 2:26:49
  network stations and it's the top of the ninth the Los Angeles Dodgers after a
• 2:26:57
  fantastic season one of the fastest getaways in the history of baseball
• 2:27:03
  great play by almost all their players Ronnie say those 29 RB eyes in the month
• 2:27:09
  of April the most magnificent comeback by left-handed Tommy John Steve Garvey
• 2:27:16
  the shortstop they've had a great year and it looks like it's now down to the
• 2:27:23
  last three outs Ross when you're certainly right in those comments about
• 2:27:28
  this Dodger ball club it was good enough to win 103 games this year and
• 2:27:32
  certainly the fans in Southern California and around the country are
• 2:27:35
  proud of this Dodger ball club they've come a long way at one year Ron say
• 2:27:41
  takes a called strike from Mike Torres as we go to the ninth inning that was
• 2:27:45
  Torres is 100 and second pitch of the evening the next one to say low for a
• 2:27:50
  ball one and one eight runs eight hits one error for the Yankees but three of
• 2:27:55
  those hits were home runs by Reggie Jackson and another was a home run by
• 2:27:58
  Chris Chambliss half of their hits have been home runs say blokes one foul
• 2:28:02
  it'll be out of play although great nettles goes over takes a look at the
• 2:28:05
  lands back along the left field line one and two to Ron say who broke his bat
• 2:28:11
  and we'll have to get a new one so the Yankees one game one and twelve innings
• 2:28:17
  the Dodgers came back here on Houten's five hitter and then perhaps the big
• 2:28:22
  surprise of the entire fall classic the Yankees ability to win two straight in
• 2:28:27
  Los Angeles put the pressure on the Dodgers LA came back in game five but
• 2:28:31
  tonight the Yankees equal to the challenge and four home runs have given
• 2:28:36
  them the lead the pitch to say misses for a ball two balls and two strikes not
• 2:28:42
  many people figured the Yankees could take two out of three a Dodger stadium
• 2:28:46
  but they did it Friday and Saturday the pitch to say it foul back upstairs
• 2:28:51
  again outstanding pitching on Friday by Mike Torres and on Saturday by Ron
• 2:28:56
  Gittery gave the Yankees this three to one lead in the series the Dodgers kept
• 2:29:00
  it alive Sunday but tonight too much power here at Yankee stadium mostly
• 2:29:04
  supplied by Mr. Reggie Jackson to pitch to say strike three ball six
• 2:29:12
  strikeouts for Mike Torres one away in the ninth inning here's Garvey Ross I
• 2:29:19
  think you put your finger on it the big surprise and the gilded pitching and the
• 2:29:25
  Yankee staff that came into this series wounded severely wounded gullet hunter
• 2:29:31
  Torres had had a bad shoulder figure oh I had a bad finger nobody knew that Mike
• 2:29:36
  would pitch two games such as he has that gullet would win that first game
• 2:29:41
  Garvey grounds one to the left side bucky Dan takes the big hop almost falls
• 2:29:45
  down throws the chambliss not in time
• 2:29:48
  American League umpire Nestor Shylock on top of the play he saw Chris Chambliss do
• 2:29:52
  the splits but then had slipped as he tried to station himself and get
• 2:29:56
  something on the throw bucky almost did it but Garvey legs it out for his ninth
• 2:30:01
  hit of the series the Dodgers have a runner with one away on the ninth inning
• 2:30:05
  and here comes Dusty Baker and it was the Yankee pitching because until
• 2:30:09
  tonight the Yankee power did not show itself overpower first pitch to Baker
• 2:30:17
  ball one and oh Garvey's hit is only the second hit by the Dodgers since the
• 2:30:22
  fourth inning looks gotta lead off single in the eighth but he was erased on a
• 2:30:26
  double play Torres to the stretch the pitch to Dusty wind right base at
• 2:30:31
  Lafayle Garvey to second and holding and the Dodgers have to a board and
• 2:30:36
  they're not through yet they're gonna go down fighting if they're gonna go down
• 2:30:40
  Baker with his seventh into the series as eight hits off Torres Lyle has been
• 2:30:46
  throwing a ballgame in itself in the Yankee bullpen and he's back out there
• 2:30:50
  again but now with a five run lead Billy Martin knows that even a grand slam
• 2:30:55
  Homer cannot get the Dodgers even so he's gonna stay with Torres to at least
• 2:30:59
  face Rick Monday Monday has a single and three at bats Garvey a second Baker at
• 2:31:06
  first Torres stretches the pitch swing and a miss Reggie Jackson three home
• 2:31:14
  runs tonight only Babe Ruth ever did that before in a world series game and
• 2:31:20
  you're joining some pretty elite company when you go with a Bambino five
• 2:31:24
  homers in the series another record for Reggie Jackson Monday's gonna but leaves
• 2:31:28
  it foul and Munson's gloves strike two not a bad thought by Rick Monday because
• 2:31:33
  the Dodgers got to get some people on base about that like Vic Davalio did in
• 2:31:36
  that game in Philadelphia game number four the Dodgers are not giving up they
• 2:31:43
  trail by five they have two on 0 and to the count Mike Torres to the stretch
• 2:31:48
  the pitch to Monday bounce foul behind the plate Monday playing for his 11th
• 2:31:54
  manager in 12 years Tommy LaSorta missed 44 games this year with back problems
• 2:32:02
  11 out of 12 never on Monday surprisingly is a lot of his home runs on Monday
• 2:32:12
  two on one out 938 three Yankees Torres goes to the stretch the 0 2 pitch to
• 2:32:18
  Monday foul back the Dodgers have left three men on base tonight the Yankees
• 2:32:27
  only two the home runs have helped clear the sacks four home runs by New York
• 2:32:33
  three by Jackson one by Chambliss one home run for Los Angeles by Smith
• 2:32:38
  Garvey away from second Baker from first and Monday steps out as Torres
• 2:32:42
  takes a little too much time now the stretch here comes the 0 2 pitch low
• 2:32:52
  one and two Steve Yeager on deck the Yankees looking for the double play that
• 2:33:00
  could give them their first world title in 15 years hard to believe it's been
• 2:33:05
  19 62 since the last bagged one Torres set the 1 2 pitch low ball to Monday
• 2:33:13
  had a good eye to look at that one two and two the Yankees went ahead tonight
• 2:33:22
  in the fourth inning with three runs that bit at five to three they got two
• 2:33:26
  in the fifth and one of the eighth on two more home runs by Reggie Jackson and
• 2:33:30
  it's eight to three in the ninth Chambliss comes in from first base to talk
• 2:33:34
  to Torrez Monday waiting two balls and two strikes eight runs eight hits one
• 2:33:44
  error for the Yankees three runs eight hits no errors for the Dodgers Torres
• 2:33:50
  is set checks his runners the 2 2 pitch there's a fly ball to right field and
• 2:33:55
  deep Reggie Smith though may have a place on the warning track in front of the
• 2:33:59
  wall he's got it to away Garvey tags up and moves over to third base Baker
• 2:34:04
  stays at first and by a matter of maybe 10 feet or less Rick Monday misses a
• 2:34:09
  three-run homer that would have gotten the Dodgers right back into the ball game
• 2:34:13
  at eight to six but now two away and Vic Davolio is gonna hit for Steve Yeager as
• 2:34:19
  the Dodgers are down to their last out of the season and to see to it that
• 2:34:26
  Yankee Stadium will stay a viable stadium if this game should end on the
• 2:34:31
  next out there are now at least 50 policemen on each foul line or
• 2:34:38
  approximately stretched out around the box seats they're going to try to get
• 2:34:43
  out there to restrain what in a moment probably will be well you use the word
• 2:34:50
  before Ross an eruption the right field porch they're all sitting on the top of
• 2:34:55
  the stands and it's going to be a race to see whether the policemen can get out
• 2:34:59
  there first or whether the fans can drop down onto the field first we're down to
• 2:35:05
  the last down there's two on Vic Davolio to pinch it and Mike Torres trying to
• 2:35:13
  wind it up for his second nine inning full game series when Davolio spent much
• 2:35:19
  of the year in the Mexican league waiting from the left side he bunched down
• 2:35:22
  a third good but nettles bearhand pick up throw the plate not in time Garvey
• 2:35:26
  scores is eight to four Baker at second Davolio at first with another one of
• 2:35:31
  those drag bunts that he does so well that one down the third base line good
• 2:35:35
  for an RBI the Dodgers are down now eight to four with loophs coming up or
• 2:35:39
  maybe Lee Lacey I'm sorry Lee Lacey is gonna hit for the pitcher first and then
• 2:35:43
  loophs if they get that far so the Wiley Vic Davolio who many people say is at
• 2:35:49
  least 41 years old a man the Dodgers acquired from the Mexican league for
• 2:35:53
  twenty five hundred dollars in August keeps them alive on the ninth inning
• 2:35:57
  Billy Martin on his way out the talk to Torres with Lacey do up I think that's
• 2:36:05
  going to be it for Mike I'm not sure nope Billy's gonna let him stay there is
• 2:36:12
  now for runs difference is too on Lacey at bat should he get on it would bring
• 2:36:20
  the tying run to the plate and Vic Davolio as he did in Philadelphia with
• 2:36:26
  one difference in Philadelphia he dragged one down the first base line here he
• 2:36:31
  punched one down the third base line the idea was to get on and he did
• 2:36:36
  firecrackers explode in right field and Reggie Jackson comes in from the right
• 2:36:42
  field I don't know whether he got hit oh he's going to get a helmet I'm told I
• 2:36:51
  don't blame him Reggie Jackson for the final out with some of the overzealous
• 2:36:58
  fans in right field throwing firecrackers on the field Reggie has come in for the
• 2:37:03
  protection of his batting helmet the police are out in the right centerfield
• 2:37:08
  area swinging their clubs above their heads trying to keep the fans off the
• 2:37:14
  edges trying to keep them from jumping into the area when the game is over and
• 2:37:19
  we see that they've just grabbed one brought him into the dugout I understand
• 2:37:24
  to that anybody who is caught on the field will spend an equal amount of time
• 2:37:28
  in the judge now Reggie has come to the dugout he has his batting helmet and
• 2:37:37
  now he's heading back to the field of battle but now the field of play in
• 2:37:41
  right field and the announcement goes again on the public address the system
• 2:37:51
  please control yourself don't throw things on the field including yourself
• 2:37:59
  Lee Lacey comes out to hit now for Charlie Huff two out ninth inning a
• 2:38:05
  run over for the Dodgers Baker at second Davilio with a bunch single at first
• 2:38:09
  base Torres to the stretch in the pitch to Lacey outside for a ball Lacey got
• 2:38:16
  the pinch single here in the ninth inning of game one off Sparky Lyle which
• 2:38:19
  got the Dodgers even Torres is ready the 1 0 pitch called strike one and one
• 2:38:25
  the Dodgers need to get Lacey on to get the time run to the plate they're four
• 2:38:30
  down Torres who's pitched the nine-hitter stretches deals but popped up
• 2:38:35
  Torres has got under the Yankees of the world champions for the 21st time and for
• 2:38:41
  the first time in 15 years Lee Lacey tried to put his way on he popped it up
• 2:38:46
  it was caught by Mike Torres and New York wins eight to four over Los
• 2:38:51
  Angeles and takes the world championship four games the two the first time in
• 2:38:57
  18 years that a world series was completed in six games and the Yankees
• 2:39:03
  have done it beating the Dodgers the final turtles the Yankees eight runs eight
• 2:39:08
  hits one error the Dodgers four runs nine hits and no errors the fans are
• 2:39:13
  swarming on the Yankees stadium and now this is Ross Porter turning it over to
• 2:39:18
  win Elliott I enjoyed working with you win they too Ross it would have taken
• 2:39:21
  2,000 cops to keep the ants it looks like an anthill down there the kids have
• 2:39:26
  come from every section of the stand we will be back I hope in a minute
• 2:39:56
  right here that's right hey after the work is done while you're still having fun
• 2:40:02
  anytime the right time to say it
• 2:40:08
  but why is it a bus to be for any time at all
• 2:40:16
  that's right after the work is done while you're still having fun looking a
• 2:40:22
  busy waiting for your call you said you said it every time and I suppose St. Louis
• 2:40:34
  the signboard in center field is saying we're number one the kids down in the
• 2:40:39
  field say who cares we're a thousand strong it wouldn't have made any
• 2:40:43
  difference how many cops are attendance tried to keep them they poured over the
• 2:40:48
  fences they poured onto the field they're doing snake dances victory dances
• 2:40:53
  ripping up the bases there'll be no more baseball at Yankee Stadium this year
• 2:40:57
  the Yankees are the world's champions they won the fourth game eight to four
• 2:41:02
  they did it with a decimated pitching staff they did it with a superhuman
• 2:41:07
  effort by Reggie Jackson and this deciding game Mike Torres was the
• 2:41:12
  pitching hero with two complete series wins 155 pounds of Louisiana Cajun
• 2:41:19
  but the name of Ron Gidry came in and did what he had to don gullet with hope
• 2:41:24
  and faith and an injured left arm surprisingly won the first game and had

• 2:44:51
  said he'd be here in just a second but we have maybe a hundred two hundred
• 2:44:54
  people in the clubhouse and it's hard to get anybody to move around but the Yankees
• 2:44:58
  coming into the clubhouse coming in somewhat quietly at the beginning they
• 2:45:02
  came in the young boys came in first running in and congratulating each other
• 2:45:06
  and then finally it was Billy Martin coming in and receiving the
• 2:45:09
  congratulations of Bill White and then right after that Reggie Jackson coming
• 2:45:14
  in and Reggie going over to his locker in the clubhouse very quietly taking off
• 2:45:18
  his glasses no one at first noticing that he had arrived in the clubhouse and
• 2:45:22
  then after getting the glasses off he sort of sat in his area there and I'm
• 2:45:27
  sure was more or less contemplating the tremendous emotion that must have come
• 2:45:31
  out as he hit the three home runs that really put the Yankees over the top so
• 2:45:36
  we're waiting as we try to come up with someone that we can talk to as this

  Back in 1973 Reggie Jackson was the hero of the last ball game the seventh game of the World Series
• 2:46:22
  against the New York Mets and Reggie you've done it again
• 2:46:24
  Well thanks a lot Ralph it's a great feeling I'm just glad that there are a lot of people
• 2:46:29
  that shared along with me
• 2:46:30
  You know I watched you come into the clubhouse and you came in rather quietly took your glasses off
• 2:46:34
  and what was going through your mind at that point must have been tremendously emotional
• 2:46:38
  I was beat I was a little afraid of getting off the field the fans were out there and it was a struggle
• 2:46:43
  and I wore glasses and I get to the point where I lose my depth perception you know and I was kind of frightened
• 2:46:48
  because I don't know where I'm stepping or anything you know but I just want to get inside and get my breath
• 2:46:53
  because I was really tired
• 2:46:54
  Then you got the champagne all over you
• 2:46:56
  That's always like a you know the taste of victory and it symbolizes victory and championship and it's just nice
• 2:47:03
  You know Reggie three home runs in the final game is a feat that Babe Ruth once did and I'm sure that you'll be thinking about that
• 2:47:09
  It's fantastic accomplishment
• 2:47:11
  Well Ralph I don't know there's you guys throw the word superstar around a lot and you know guys like Maze and Aaron and Ruth and DiMaggio and Mantle
• 2:47:20
  and at least for one day I can say I had a day of one
• 2:47:23
  You've been saying that New York is not quite your town and might be now
• 2:47:26
  Well we'll see it's I can't do much more neither can the team and either can the town they were very supportive
• 2:47:32
  I'm glad we won for the fans and I'm glad we won for just a lot of people here I think it's good for the town
• 2:47:38
  I'm sure it'll be a happy winner for people in New York they need it
• 2:47:41
  And certainly good for Reggie Jackson
• 2:47:43
  Well it's great for me but I'm I really don't count I'll have a good time and you know I'll relish in the things that will happen to me
• 2:47:52
  but I can say I know there's a God out there and everybody will be happy and that's what's important
• 2:47:58
  What do you got planned for tonight?
• 2:48:00
  Well go to a little place over on 76th Street
• 2:48:04
  Jimmy McMullins to have a couple of beers and share good times with some friends and my father's here and he's real happy so I'm excited
• 2:48:12
  Thank you very much Reggie Jackson a great series
• 2:48:15
  Thanks Ralph thanks very much
• 2:48:16
  Reggie Jackson of course Reggie with a fantastic series having three hormones in the final game
• 2:48:22
  Now more details after this message
• 2:48:26
  Recently a survey was taken of the prices of premium gasoline
• 2:48:30
  The survey covered hundreds of service stations in the northeastern United States
• 2:48:35
  Virtually every major oil company was included
• 2:48:38
  Right now I'd like to tell you the results of that survey
• 2:48:46
  In Portland, Maine, Getty premium sold for less per gallon
• 2:48:50
  In Boston, Getty premium sold for less
• 2:48:54
  In northern New Jersey, Philadelphia and New York, Getty premium sold for less
• 2:49:00
  In fact in every state survey Getty premium sold for less per gallon than most major premiums
• 2:49:08
  More premium gas for your money
• 2:49:11
  That has to be the best mileage ingredient you can buy
• 2:49:15
  So the next time you pull in for gas, pull in for Getty premium gasoline
• 2:49:20
  Getty once again we've got what's best for your car
• 2:49:32
  Right now here in the clubhouse we have the commissioner baseball Bowie Kuhn and Bowie
• 2:49:36
  This is one great day for you and of course a great year for baseball
• 2:49:39
  Well I think it's a fine culmination to what has been an outstanding year Ralph
• 2:49:43
  I think this has been an exciting series
• 2:49:46
  I don't know when we've seen such a home run barrage in the series and Reggie of course was super spectacular today
• 2:49:51
  As was Mike Torres so it's been a great win for the Yankees and we're all proud of in baseball
• 2:49:56
  Well it took place in this big city here and I think the fans riding the ups and downs of the Yankees throughout this whole season
• 2:50:02
  Finally realized that it's over and it really ended with a bang
• 2:50:06
  Well you know it's been a roller coaster for the Yankees this year
• 2:50:08
  They've been a very dramatic team with a lot of contention on them
• 2:50:12
  But they've been an exciting team and I think they showed today that they're real champions
• 2:50:16
  Alright Bowie Kuhn the commissioner of baseball thank you very much Bowie
• 2:50:19
  Okay Ralph nice to be with you
• 2:50:21
  So here in the Yankee clubhouse where you still have this tremendous crowd milling around
• 2:50:25
  It's hard to get to anybody it's almost impossible as a matter of fact
• 2:50:29
  And the big story the home runs by Reggie Jackson the fine pitching by Mike Torres
• 2:50:34
  Mike the winning pitcher and two of the ballgains for the Yankees
• 2:50:37
  As they won the series four games to two the first game going to the Dodgers
• 2:50:42
  Pardon me but to the Yankees by a score of four to three and twelve innings
• 2:50:45
  In that ball game the winning pitcher was Sparky Lyle the second game
• 2:50:49
  Going to the Dodgers six to one as Burt Hooten pits the winning victory of that ball game
• 2:50:54
  And then the Yankees going to Dodgers stadium winning out there
• 2:50:57
  They defeated the Dodgers by a score of five to three four to two
• 2:51:00
  And then LA coming back to move it back to New York City
• 2:51:03
  As the Dodgers won the fifth game by a score of ten to four
• 2:51:07
  And the sixth game going to the Dodgers by a score of eight to four
• 2:51:11
  More after this word
• 2:51:13
  New mellow roast is here
• 2:51:15
  This can't be coffee cause it tastes so smooth
• 2:51:18
  They took the bitter taste out
• 2:51:21
  This can't be coffee cause it tastes so smooth
• 2:51:24
  How they take the bitter taste out
• 2:51:26
  New mellow roast starts with three kinds of rich robust coffees
• 2:51:30
  Then blends in roasted grain to take away the bitter edge
• 2:51:33
  So you enjoy a delicious full flavored coffee taste
• 2:51:37
  Mellow roast coffee and grain beverage new from General Foods
• 2:51:40
  They took the bitter taste out
• 2:51:44
  I'm talking with the president of the National League, Chubb Feney
• 2:51:47
  And Chubb I know that you went down to a tough defeat here tonight
• 2:51:50
  As the Yankees really prevailed with their home run hitting in the final game
• 2:51:54
  Well we're really very disappointed
• 2:51:56
  You know the Dodgers are a super ball club and I think they played very well
• 2:52:00
  It's just one of those things
• 2:52:02
  Too much power, too much Reggie Jackson tonight
• 2:52:05
  Wish we had another day at him tomorrow
• 2:52:07
  Well it's all over Chubb and I'm sorry you'll have to wait until next year as they say in Brooklyn
• 2:52:11
  That's right it's a long time but we'll make it in 78
• 2:52:14
  Okay Chubb Feney, president of the National League
• 2:52:17
  Right here we have the winning manager
• 2:52:19
  We have Billy Martin and Billy congratulations
• 2:52:21
  Thank you Ralph it was quite a season
• 2:52:23
  You came into the clubhouse kind of quietly
• 2:52:26
  The emotion of it all sort of getting to
• 2:52:28
  It caught up to me finally
• 2:52:30
  How about in that last inning do you have any doubts about the fact that Mike Torres would finish the ball game?
• 2:52:34
  Well he was throwing hard and I had to spark you ready for about four innings
• 2:52:37
  So I wasn't worried if I had to go to sparking
• 2:52:39
  I know one thing you did well you gave that home run sign enough times
• 2:52:42
  Well I wish I could take the credit for that Ralph
• 2:52:44
  But our guys are just their battlers and they probably been reading in the paper
• 2:52:48
  Where they haven't been hitting any home runs and then maybe they decided to bust loose
• 2:52:51
  I can see them coming around the last three or four days
• 2:52:53
  I can see the left handers bats starting to come around
• 2:52:55
  Billy Martin and winning manager Billy thank you very much
• 2:52:58

  Terrorist bombs exploded overnight in northern Italy violent footnotes to the end of a hijacking
• 2:57:10
  Blasts wrecked three showrooms for German-made cars in Turin and Leghorn, Italy
• 2:57:15
  No injuries are reported anonymous callers said bombs were planted in memory of three anarchists
• 2:57:20
  Reportedly committed suicide in jail. Those deaths came after West German commandos stormed a Lufthansa airliner in Somalia
• 2:57:28
  Freed 86 hostages and killed three of the four hijackers yesterday
• 2:57:32
  Freedom for the jailed anarchists had been one of the hijackers' demands
• 2:57:36
  The end of the hijacking also prompted violent demonstrations by leftists in Rome and Athens
• 2:57:42
  But in Frankfurt the commandos returned to a hero's welcome and praise from many world leaders

• 2:58:37
  But with a nation that needs a trillion dollars in the next 10 years to develop ultimate sources of energy
• 2:58:46
  There's a lot of money that's needed and we have to make sure that we husband our scarce tax dollars for developing ultimate sources of energy

  It is crucial, he says, for the South African government to open a dialogue with non-white leaders

  We have WCBS reporter Art Athens with the fans
• 3:01:38
  And there it is, the final out of the game, something Yankee fans have waited for for 15 years and this fight warnings to stay off the field
• 3:01:47
  The field is mobbed, Reggie Jackson like a shot for his way in to right field
• 3:01:53
  Purses a few players, a few spectators out of the way and makes it to the dugout
• 3:01:58
  And there goes the pitcher's mound, warmed and it looks like a lot of fans trying to figure out how to get the rubber up the faces
• 3:02:07
  It disappeared right away and police, New York City police are out on the field
• 3:02:12
  Night clubs are swinging at a few and they've got a guy down and it looks like out cold over at third base where he might have been trying to steal the bag
• 3:02:21
  Thousands of fans pouring out on the field, some of them carrying sides despite the fact that at almost every inch of the gates around Yankee Stadium
• 3:02:32
  They're coming from the stands into the field, there are police, mounted police now hit the field
• 3:02:38
  Coming out through the right field gate and they're knocking down some fans, they're using billy clubs, they're not fooling around
• 3:02:46
  There go a few more firecrackers out in right field and the field is mobbed
• 3:02:52
  Somebody's rolled up the on deck batter circle and is trying to figure out a way to get out of here with it
• 3:02:58
  I don't know whether it'll make it very far, he's trying to walk back into stands and he just got pinched
• 3:03:03
  Oh, Ned Trubelin, Ned Trubelin, he doesn't want to give it up, he's got that on deck circle and he won't give it up
• 3:03:10
  A few nights, Dick swings, some bases disappear and all in all after 15 years I guess a lot of these fans figure they're entitled to get out there and tear up Yankee Stadium
• 3:03:25
  Most of the 56,000 fans are staying in their seats watching the spectacle out on the field
• 3:03:33
  The police have promised to make a rest and I'm sure they'll make a few, I see about a half a dozen people down on the ground
• 3:03:41
  They've been hit with might sticks and they're being pulled off the field
• 3:03:45
  A lot of them are still walking around, victory sides, number one sides, paying little or no attention to the police
• 3:03:52
  And it doesn't look like there's too much they can do as the scoreboard clashes Yankee, 1977 World Champs at Yankee Stadium, this is our death
• 3:04:05
  And we have a lot more sports coming up, of course in addition to Art up at the stadium, we had our sports director at Ingalls there
• 3:04:11
  While our Spencer Ross was at Madison Square Garden for the Knicks opener, the Knicks beat the Kansas City Kings tonight to get underway
• 3:04:17
  The Knicks lost, the Islanders in Los Angeles scoreless, we'll be getting Jim Kelly with all the rest of the sports news coming up shortly
• 3:04:23
  On WCBS it's 10 after 11, New York telephone will begin charging higher rates next week under the terms of a temporary rate hike plan
• 3:04:30
  Approved recently by the Public Service Commission, Bob Van Zandt as a phone company spokesman
• 3:04:34
  We're complying with the State Public Service Commission to implement their temporary rate award of $245 million
• 3:04:43
  Which they so stayed on October the 13th and we are complying with that by filing these charges that will be in effect for approximately six weeks
• 3:04:54
  The higher rates will be in effect until the PSC rules on a proposal to further increase rates, that decision is due by the end of November
• 3:05:00
  The higher rates taking effect next week will boost monthly charges for a residential customer by an average of 21%
• 3:05:07
  The Concorde SST arrives tomorrow in New York City, Tom Foday has the story
• 3:05:12
  After all the demonstrations and court fights there is no more question here that the British are coming and so are the French in their supersonic transport
• 3:05:19
  British Airways spokesman Norman Lorney
• 3:05:21
  We are expecting the first Concorde to land at New York tomorrow about 11 o'clock in the morning
• 3:05:27
  The first Concorde test takeoff from Kennedy will come the following day
• 3:05:30
  For now opponents say there will be no protest but the near future, Brian Levinson of Concorde Alert says that will be different
• 3:05:37
  If we have to demonstrate at Kennedy airport that will be before any commercial landings of Concorde
• 3:05:42
  We are going to turn Kennedy airport into New Orleans on Mardi Gras day
• 3:05:47
  That's what it's going to look like because we are going to have those cars like floats
• 3:05:50
  But now it will be the Concorde and not the protest cars that will be the focus of attention at JFK
• 3:05:55
  Tom Foday in New York

  14 minutes after 11 WCBS Sports Time
• 3:08:27
  I'm Jim Kelly, it's sports time, more precisely World Series time
• 3:08:31
  I won't hit a home run everybody else did though
• 3:08:33
  Game 6, the Dodgers had to win, they took a quick 2-0 lead in the first inning after two men were out
• 3:08:38
  An error, a pass ball, a walk and then a Steve Garvey triple
• 3:08:41
  The Yankees went down 1-2-3 in their half of the first inning
• 3:08:44
  Los Angeles the same in the top of the second but in the Yankee half of inning number two
• 3:08:48
  Reggie Jackson walks on four straight pitches and then Bert Hooten delivers
• 3:08:51
  One pitch to Shamless, a drive to the right center field and deep
• 3:08:54
  Way back, going, going, a home run for Chris Shamless and we're tied 2-2
• 3:08:59
  But not for long as Ross Porter called it here on CBS Ready
• 3:09:02
  Reggie Smith steps up and the Los Angeles half of the third
• 3:09:05
  The 1-1 pitch to Smith, there's a drive to center field and deep
• 3:09:08
  Rivers turns, that one's going to be gone again in the right center field
• 3:09:11
  Pavilion and the Dodgers regain the lead, 3-2 on Reggie Smith's third home run of the World Series
• 3:09:17
  But Los Angeles' 3-2 lead was short lived as Thurman Munson singled and Reggie Jackson dug in
• 3:09:23
  There's a drive to right field and deep, Smith going back, away back, it's gone, home run for Reggie Jackson
• 3:09:29
  Four 3 Yankees, they had another run as Chris Shamless had a soft fly ball drop in
• 3:09:33
  Between Dusty Baker and Bill Russell in short left field, that went for a double
• 3:09:37
  And he moved over to third base, Lou Pinella then drove him home with a sacrifice fly for a 5-3 Yankee lead
• 3:09:42
  And that's the way it was until the New York 5th inning when Reggie Jackson is up once again
• 3:09:47
  The pitch, drive to right field and deep, way back, going, going, gone, another home run for Reggie Jackson
• 3:09:54
  And the Yankees lead 7-3
• 3:09:56
  Amazing, and the crowd thought so too, they wouldn't stop chanting Reggie, Reggie
• 3:10:00
  Until he came out of the dugout once again and dopted his cap
• 3:10:03
  That reaction though was small by comparison when Reggie Jackson came up, yet again in the New York 8th
• 3:10:08
  Jackson with four runs batted in, sends a fly ball to center field and deep, that's going to be way back
• 3:10:13
  And that's going to be gone, Reggie Jackson has hit his third home run of the game
• 3:10:18
  And that ties a World Series record set by Babe Ruth and Reggie did it
• 3:10:22
  Yep, in the house that Babe Ruth built, Yankee Stadium, the Dodgers added one more in the night
• 3:10:26
  Than they threatened briefly but it was too little, too late
• 3:10:29
  Reggie Jackson supplying the offense in game six and Mike Torres going the route
• 3:10:33
  Ironically he's the one that made the final Dodger put out
• 3:10:36
  Torres, who's pitched the nine-hitter, stretches deals
• 3:10:39
  But, popped up, Torres has got under the Yankees of the World Champions for the 21st time
• 3:10:45
  And for the first time in 15 years
• 3:10:48
  The Yankee right-hander stopping the Dodgers on nine hits, he beat them for the second time in just four days
• 3:10:53
  Both were complete games, he gave up two unearned first inning runs at 425 foot home run to Reggie Smith
• 3:10:59
  His third of the series and then he only gave up four hits and one run over the last five innings
• 3:11:04
  This was Torres after the game
• 3:11:06
  Five of this is it, we're number one, this year anyway, he wanted to show
• 3:11:10
  And of course the Yankee victory perhaps inspired by the vote of confidence
• 3:11:14
  Given to manager Billy Martin earlier in the day, club president Gabe Paul
• 3:11:17
  Ending speculation that Billy Martin would be fired by saying he would be retained for the final two years of his contract
• 3:11:23
  With a substantial bonus, forget the bonus, nothing is sweeter than a win in the World Series
• 3:11:27
  And ironic in a way, that when the money was on the line
• 3:11:30
  The series most valuable player would turn out to be none other than Reggie Jackson
• 3:11:34
  Who was at the center of controversy all season long
• 3:11:36
  First was Jackson against Thurman Munson, then Reggie Jackson against Billy Martin the manager
• 3:11:40
  Don't forget that blow up on national television against the Boston Red Sox when the two almost came to blows
• 3:11:45
  This is what Reggie had to say after game six, after the Yankees had won the World Series against the Dodgers
• 3:11:51
  Eight for the final in game six, four two in games, Reggie?
• 3:11:54
  Well, it's great for me, but I really don't count
• 3:11:57
  I'll have a good time and you know, I'll relish in the things that will happen to me
• 3:12:03
  But I can say I know there's a God out there and everybody will be happy and that's what's important
• 3:12:09
  So the New York Yankees, champions of the world, they take the Dodgers eight for the final, four two in games
• 3:12:15
  That's sports time, that's World Series time, we're out of time, I'm Jim Kelly and friends on the CBS World Series
• 3:12:21
  Radio network
• 3:12:22
  This was around somewhere, you know?
• 3:12:26
  He struck out a lot, but he was a good defensive man, I'll say that
• 3:12:29
  No, but Dad and I used to have, in the first days of television, you know, when the old Dumont television was out there
• 3:12:35
  We used to have great problems about what game to watch, you know, on television
• 3:12:41
  Because I wanted to watch the Yankees, he wanted to watch the Red Sox and there was the ability to see both
• 3:12:46
  Because we could get both channels
• 3:12:48
  And you know, Dad said Ted Williams is just the greatest guy, you know, and I said yes, yes
• 3:12:54
  Ted Williams was great, he was right about it
• 3:12:56
  I mean, he's unbelievable, but I mean, Joe DiMagia, you can't be him
• 3:13:00
  There's more, I'm going to put it that way
• 3:13:02
  So I've always been the Yankee fan all my life because, you know, I've lived here obviously
• 3:13:08
  But somewhat, just to sort of just pick a dad a little bit, I like the Yankees
• 3:13:15
  Well, Peter, thank you very much, and when you said Joe DiMagia, Joe followed in the tradition, of course, of Babe Ruth
• 3:13:25
  It so happened, by the way, the Yankees had three sonner-fielders over a period of 40, 41, 2 years
• 3:13:33
  All of whom made the Hall of Fame
• 3:13:35
  Was that Tony?
• 3:13:37
  It was Earl Combs, Joe DiMagia and Mickey Mantle
• 3:13:40
  Oh, right
• 3:13:41
  Which is a little bit of trivia, perhaps
• 3:13:43
  No, it's not
• 3:13:44
  Three regular center-fielders that spanned better than 40 years, all of them made the Hall of Fame
• 3:13:52
  Well, all I have to say is that I hope that Mickey Rivers keeps on with us so that he can make it too
• 3:13:58
  Because I think he's a super player
• 3:14:00
  He really is
• 3:14:01
  And Peter, I thank you, and since you mentioned tradition, the wife and the owner of the Yankees
• 3:14:09
  That was the one thing he told me, I first met him when he was a football coach
• 3:14:16
  And I met him out at Purdue
• 3:14:18
  But many years later, he becomes the owner of the Yankees
• 3:14:23
  And he had to remind me of that, which made me feel about two inches tall
• 3:14:26
  But anyway, I wanted the Yankees to win more
• 3:14:30
  And I'll be very honest about this for him this year, because I know what he went through
• 3:14:36
  Oh boy, did he
• 3:14:37
  And you do too
• 3:14:39
  No, I couldn't agree with you more
• 3:14:41
  I mean, what George has done with Mr. Steinbunner has done
• 3:14:45
  He's brought to New York a team that is really New York
• 3:14:50
  I mean, it is controversial, it is a team that has problems
• 3:14:54
  So does New York, I mean, it's a team, however, that has stars and so too does New York
• 3:14:59
  I mean, it is a New York scene to me
• 3:15:02
  As a star yourself, do you understand the way
• 3:15:04
  Well, sorry not, I mean, I think the Yankees are so exciting
• 3:15:09
  And my children love them, my wife loves them
• 3:15:12
  And we just come to a lot of games and we're just very excited about this
• 3:15:17
  This night is so exciting to us
• 3:15:19
  And to a wonderful girl, I know it is for Mrs. George Steinbunner, who she doesn't like doing the air
• 3:15:25
  George is down there
• 3:15:26
  But she's great on the air
• 3:15:27
  We've worked together before
• 3:15:29
  Oh, hasn't he?
• 3:15:30
  In Tampa
• 3:15:31
  I'll tell you what
• 3:15:32
  Why don't you interview Mrs. Steinbunner
• 3:15:34
  First of all, John and I would like to congratulate you, Mrs. Steinbunner
• 3:15:38
  And of course I had the privilege of meeting you before in your family
• 3:15:42
  But I know what all this meant
• 3:15:44
  It really was exciting and we're all so happy
• 3:15:47
  And we appreciate all the wonderful fans in New York City
• 3:15:50
  And that's what's so great about it
• 3:15:51
  They've all supported us, not only here but all over the country
• 3:15:54
  Everyone wanted to see the Yankees win so many places where we would go
• 3:15:58
  And everyone is just so happy that we could do it
• 3:16:01
  Well, John, do you want to ask Mrs. Steinbunner or something?
• 3:16:04
  No, I really like the analogy though
• 3:16:06
  Because there's no line show business
• 3:16:08
  It doesn't matter what they say as long as they spell your name right
• 3:16:10
  And I think, although I'm sure that George Steinbunner
• 3:16:14
  That's for years
• 3:16:15
  For you
• 3:16:17
  That many of the Yankees would not like all the controversy surrounding it
• 3:16:20
  I think it's great
• 3:16:21
  And I think it really is part of New York
• 3:16:23
  And then winning the World Series of the Bang with the great star Reggie Jackson
• 3:16:27
  That Mrs. Steinbunner brought in
• 3:16:29
  Anyway, it is really some night
• 3:16:31
  You're really excited, aren't you?
• 3:16:32
  You better believe in Thor the Tildren
• 3:16:34
  And don't forget, this team just absolutely creamed the Cincinnati team
• 3:16:39
  Right, absolutely
• 3:16:41
  They've been ahead of the Cincinnati team
• 3:16:42
  More than 10 games, right
• 3:16:43
  Last year, you know, we had a little unfortunate four games
• 3:16:47
  Okay, listen, Mrs. Steinbunner doesn't want to be on the air
• 3:16:50
  There's nothing worse, I don't believe in people going in and putting mics in people's mouths
• 3:16:54
  We don't want to be on the air
• 3:16:55
  I'm doing television now because she's gorgeous
• 3:16:56
  Yeah, she is
• 3:16:57
  She is, she is
• 3:16:59
  The most beautiful children I've ever seen in my life
• 3:17:01
  May I add one thing, Gay Paul blesses heart in the business of almost 50 years
• 3:17:07
  Yes, the first World Series that this many need
• 3:17:10
  It was with Cleveland, Cadillac Green Team
• 3:17:12
  Cincinnati, I never won a World Series, it's the first one
• 3:17:15
  I was happy to be with Gay when the last out was made
• 3:17:18
  I was with Gay when the last out was made
• 3:17:20
  And we ran over and Brayson, he just cried like a child
• 3:17:23
  I just want to interrupt just for a moment
• 3:17:25
  I asked Mary, which he come in
• 3:17:27
  Mary Paul
• 3:17:28
  Mary Paul
• 3:17:29
  And Mrs. Steinbunner already said she would
• 3:17:32
  But Mary says, you know, I've never done this
• 3:17:35
  And I said, I know you haven't
• 3:17:37
  She says, wait until Gabe gets up here
• 3:17:39
  I said, I don't know if I can wait for Gabe or George
• 3:17:41
  Because they're both down in the club
• 3:17:43
  So I thank Mrs. Steinbunner, no reason Gabe or Mary aren't here
• 3:17:48
  I want to explain that
• 3:17:49
  One of them may get here before we get off the air
• 3:17:51
  I thank you all very much
• 3:17:53
  Thank you, Bill Shea and Mrs. Steinbunner, Robert Merrill
• 3:17:56
  Thank you, Peter Duchen
• 3:17:58
  God bless you all
• 3:17:59
  Mel, I have to, you know, it's a kick
• 3:18:04
  When you revere someone
• 3:18:06
  Because you've met all the greats, you know
• 3:18:09
  And when you revere someone and then they tell you
• 3:18:11
  That they hear you on the air
• 3:18:12
  And I know you feel it's a kick all your life
• 3:18:14
  You know, I went outside with Robert Merrill
• 3:18:16
  To tell him I do about 150 games a year
• 3:18:20
  Hockey, basketball, my show, football
• 3:18:22
  And my voice is just being abused
• 3:18:24
  You know, he told me what to do
• 3:18:25
  You know, about going to a voice teacher
• 3:18:27
  And learning how to hit different notes and all
• 3:18:30
  What he mentioned in the practice
• 3:18:32
  I'm not going to tell you what he told you to do
• 3:18:34
  It's to do re mi paso, la ti do re mi
• 3:18:37
  You're a voice coach, right?
• 3:18:39
  Mel, first thing about listening up
• 3:18:40
  I have to take care of some commercials, as they say
• 3:18:43
  Your basic commercials
• 3:18:44
  Now, Mel's looting up some of our bosses
• 3:18:46
  Meanwhile, we're going to
• 3:18:49
  Have some more people come in
• 3:18:52
  We have about 35 minutes on the air
• 3:18:54

  Strauss Communications in New York

  If you have been locked up
• 3:21:59
  In the cellar somewhere, I don't know what's happened
• 3:22:01
  I'm sorry, it's been one whale of a night
• 3:22:04
  The Yankees have won the World Series
• 3:22:05
  They beat the Dodgers 8-4 tonight at Yankee Stadium
• 3:22:08
  The Dodgers scored two runs in the first on a Steve Garvey triple
• 3:22:11
  With two out and two on
• 3:22:13
  Chris Chambliss hit a two run home run
• 3:22:16
  The second to tie the game
• 3:22:18
  A big home run for Chris who had not been hitting well
• 3:22:20
  He hit it deep in the right center field
• 3:22:22
  Bleaches off a low fastball
• 3:22:24
  Reggie Smith at a Mike Torres fastball
• 3:22:26
  I think in the third inning to give the Dodgers a 3-2 lead
• 3:22:28
  In the same area
• 3:22:30
  He hit it off Hooten too with a knuckle baller
• 3:22:32
  And knuckle curve, excuse me
• 3:22:34
  And then Reggie Jackson went to work
• 3:22:36
  One of the most dramatic nights at Yankee Stadium
• 3:22:38
  He hit three bolts
• 3:22:40
  Two down the right field line, deep in the right field seats
• 3:22:42
  And one, the biggest bolt of all
• 3:22:44
  All on the first pitch
• 3:22:46
  He hit it in the center field seats
• 3:22:48
  Only Ken Singleton reached those center field seats
• 3:22:50
  Since Yankee Stadium had been redesigned
• 3:22:52
  It probably was 450 feet off a Charlie Huff knuckle ball
• 3:22:55
  And it's the first time in World Series history
• 3:22:58
  Anyone's hit three home runs consecutively
• 3:23:00
  Only the third time in World Series history
• 3:23:02
  A gentleman's hit three homers in one game
• 3:23:04
  And Babe Ruth did it twice
• 3:23:06
  In 26 and 28, I think in St. Louis
• 3:23:08
  Both times against the Cardinals
• 3:23:10
  And
• 3:23:12
  It's about as exciting as wild as season
• 3:23:16
  Beginning in spring training with the Yankees
• 3:23:18
  Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman
• 3:23:20
  And it comes out of World Series
• 3:23:22
  The championship in the sixth game
• 3:23:24
  And Mel Allen is here, who's a blessing
• 3:23:26
  You know I love you, I'll tell you why
• 3:23:28
  Because you have a right to sit back
• 3:23:30
  And be kind of a cynical observer
• 3:23:32
  You've done eight million World Series games
• 3:23:34
  And you've done it all
• 3:23:36
  You're as excited like a young kid tonight
• 3:23:38
  Like you're out of Alabama singing your first World Series game
• 3:23:40
  Wasn't that great?
• 3:23:42
  It was great, but you know why
• 3:23:44
  There's more than a partisan viewpoint
• 3:23:46
  Or partisan reaction
• 3:23:48
  It was a great sports story
• 3:23:50
  And the man I'm about to bring on the air
• 3:23:52
  Is a man who's written many great sports stories
• 3:23:54
  And
• 3:23:56
  I put him in the
• 3:23:58
  Same time
• 3:24:00
  Capsule, so to speak
• 3:24:02
  When Russ Hodges
• 3:24:04
  Left
• 3:24:06
  Our broadcasting here at Yankee Stadium
• 3:24:08
  And went to the Giants
• 3:24:10
  As a chief announcer, the fellow that replaced him
• 3:24:12
  Was a guy named Kurt Gowdy
• 3:24:14
  And I'm delighted to say
• 3:24:16
  That I had something
• 3:24:18
  To say about it
• 3:24:20
  Because Dan Topping
• 3:24:22
  Made a so-rest in peace at that time
• 3:24:24
  We were introduced to five people
• 3:24:26
  Missing the tapes, he said
• 3:24:28
  Take anyone up you want
• 3:24:30
  After all you have to live with
• 3:24:32
  And I had met Kurt
• 3:24:34
  He was in town to do some basketball
• 3:24:36
  Oklahoma State had
• 3:24:38
  A Hank Iba
• 3:24:40
  Had great basketball teams
• 3:24:42
  And so
• 3:24:44
  He came in and worked with us
• 3:24:46
  Before he went to the Red Sox
• 3:24:48
  And then became the national figure
• 3:24:50
  He is in our business
• 3:24:52
  And the gentleman I'm talking about
• 3:24:54
  Standing just to my right
• 3:24:56
  Hal Middlesworth
• 3:24:58
  Who also came from Oklahoma City
• 3:25:00
  And
• 3:25:02
  Is a sports reporter
• 3:25:04
  For the written page
• 3:25:06
  And went to Detroit
• 3:25:08
  And now
• 3:25:10
  Is public relations director
• 3:25:12
  For the Detroit Tigers
• 3:25:14
  Now Hal, you've seen
• 3:25:16
  So many exciting things in the world
• 3:25:18
  Of sports as a reporter
• 3:25:20
  And the Tigers in 1968
• 3:25:22
  World Series
• 3:25:24
  And we had to win
• 3:25:26
  Very exciting
• 3:25:28
  You can talk about that
• 3:25:30
  Compare the two
• 3:25:32
  Give us your viewpoint from the standpoint
• 3:25:34
  Of a Detroit reporter
• 3:25:36
  And a member of the Detroit Tigers
• 3:25:38
  About this World Series
• 3:25:40
  Well one thing I'd like to point out
• 3:25:42
  Is what happens on the field
• 3:25:44
  Is what counts as you and I well know
• 3:25:46
  And the Yankees prove what a
• 3:25:48
  Ball Club they were with their performance
• 3:25:50
  On the field, regardless of what's happened
• 3:25:52
  Away from the field and so forth like that
• 3:25:54
  It's a great ball club and I'm very happy
• 3:25:56
  To see the Yankees win
• 3:25:58
  Because I'm an American league at heart
• 3:26:00
  And I want to see them do well
• 3:26:02
  I'm a friend of Billy Martins
• 3:26:04
  And have been for a long time
• 3:26:06
  Ever since he played for the Yankees
• 3:26:08
  And played a little bit for the Tigers
• 3:26:10
  And managed for the Tigers of course
• 3:26:12
  But to get back to 1968
• 3:26:14
  As you know the Tigers were down one game to three
• 3:26:16
  And came back and won
• 3:26:18
  And won three games out of that series
• 3:26:20
  And got a bit of key blow
• 3:26:22
  Make a little shit of home run in that series
• 3:26:24
  Which is very unusual for us
• 3:26:26
  But it was an exciting time
• 3:26:28
  And it was a psychological thing
• 3:26:30
  In Detroit which pulled the town together
• 3:26:32
  As no other thing could have
• 3:26:34
  In 1967 there had been
• 3:26:36
  Rope trouble with riding and so forth like that
• 3:26:38
  And this turned the town around
• 3:26:40
  And it's been a better town ever since really
• 3:26:42
  I'm glad you said that
• 3:26:44
  I was disappointed truthfully
• 3:26:46
  I don't like to get in the controversy
• 3:26:48
  Deliberately
• 3:26:50
  Sometimes you are naturally
• 3:26:52
  Because you give your viewpoint
• 3:26:54
  As a writer or a broadcaster
• 3:26:56
  But the other day
• 3:26:58
  When the Tigers
• 3:27:00
  Dodges
• 3:27:02
  Left here
• 3:27:04
  After the first two games
• 3:27:06
  Some of them criticized
• 3:27:08
  At least I'm not criticizing the Dodgers
• 3:27:10
  Frankly I'm criticizing
• 3:27:12
  The media
• 3:27:14
  Both radio TV
• 3:27:16
  I put that
• 3:27:18
  In one category
• 3:27:20
  That's why I say both
• 3:27:22
  And the press
• 3:27:24
  Because the headlines
• 3:27:26
  Least in New York were
• 3:27:28
  Dodgers criticizing New York fans
• 3:27:30
  Now the percentage
• 3:27:32
  Just like tonight there was a slight interruption
• 3:27:34
  As you know how
• 3:27:36
  They're not representative
• 3:27:38
  To any degree at all
• 3:27:40
  Much somewhere like
• 3:27:42
  One half of one half percent
• 3:27:44
  Of the fans
• 3:27:46
  I think the fans in New York
• 3:27:48
  Like the fans in Detroit
• 3:27:50
  I can only think of a couple of ballparks
• 3:27:52
  Where they really are so completely
• 3:27:54
  One sided
• 3:27:56
  I think these are a few kooks
• 3:27:58
  Or
• 3:28:00
  People who just want to
• 3:28:02
  You know be seen on television
• 3:28:04
  And I say our businesses
• 3:28:06
  Have fought there but they're not typical
• 3:28:08
  Of New York they were New York fans
• 3:28:10
  No way New York has fine fans
• 3:28:12
  When I was covering
• 3:28:14
  The Tigers with newspaper men
• 3:28:16
  I like to come to New York because
• 3:28:18
  Of the fans the fans are good fans
• 3:28:20
  They're appreciative fans
• 3:28:22
  Our team like to play as you remember
• 3:28:24
  We had Frank Lerry and Jim Bunning
• 3:28:26
  Real nemeses to the Yankees for a long time
• 3:28:28
  And we enjoyed playing here
• 3:28:30
  I think our players played better in New York
• 3:28:32
  I know Al K. Line gave his best
• 3:28:34
  Performances right in this park
• 3:28:36
  He sure did I remember him
• 3:28:38
  Before they republished this ballpark
• 3:28:40
  And the little barriers out here
• 3:28:42
  Making catches, robbing people
• 3:28:44
  Of home runs
• 3:28:46
  And I'm glad you mentioned him
• 3:28:48
  Because to me he was always
• 3:28:50
  One of my favorite
• 3:28:52
  Ball players, I think one of the greatest
• 3:28:54
  Ball players of all time
• 3:28:56
  Not because he won a batting championship
• 3:28:58
  At the age of 20 which
• 3:29:00
  Equaled out of Ty Cobb
• 3:29:02
  I think it was a few days difference
• 3:29:04
  But they talk
• 3:29:06
  About people in New York
• 3:29:08
  That's true being a center
• 3:29:10
  Of communications getting more
• 3:29:12
  Publicity if they do something big
• 3:29:14
  And I can't quarrel
• 3:29:16
  That it is but on the other hand
• 3:29:18
  If Al had hit a few more
• 3:29:20
  Home runs I think he would
• 3:29:22
  Have gotten more publicity
• 3:29:24
  Than he did certainly more
• 3:29:26
  In other words
• 3:29:28
  He put it this way he didn't get as much
• 3:29:30
  He deserved he was one of the greatest
• 3:29:32
  Ball players I ever saw he in line drives
• 3:29:34
  He made the greatest catches
• 3:29:36
  I can remember
• 3:29:38
  A throw it's funny how you remember things
• 3:29:40
  Running toward the foul line
• 3:29:42
  In right field he made a willy made
• 3:29:44
  So-called I say this with
• 3:29:46
  New York fans because they're so used
• 3:29:48
  To the vet talk which is
• 3:29:50
  Of course true
• 3:29:52
  He was running toward
• 3:29:54
  The right field foul line
• 3:29:56
  And made a catch of a ball
• 3:29:58
  Running at a 90 degree angle
• 3:30:00
  The home plate and whirling through guy
• 3:30:02
  Trying to tag up and score after the catch
• 3:30:04
  But that was typical of Al Kingline
• 3:30:06
  He taught runners early in his career
• 3:30:08
  Not to try to go from first
• 3:30:10
  To third on singles to right field
• 3:30:12
  You know that he threw guys out
• 3:30:14
  Repeatedly and they quit running on him
• 3:30:16
  Right
• 3:30:18
  You know Detroit
• 3:30:20
  Since we were reminiscing a little bit
• 3:30:22
  As you look back over the years
• 3:30:24
  You had Ty Cobb who won
• 3:30:26
  9 straight batting titles
• 3:30:28
  Lost one I think he won 3
• 3:30:30
  Mourner-O
• 3:30:32
  12 all together
• 3:30:34
  I think they have had teams
• 3:30:36
  Tiger teams that had more people
• 3:30:38
  Who have won batting titles
• 3:30:40
  Remember like Harry Hyland
• 3:30:42
  Who used to win like every other year
• 3:30:44
  And then you had K-Line
• 3:30:46
  But I don't know
• 3:30:48
  Who left out anybody
• 3:30:50
  Harvey Keane, Norm Keane
• 3:30:52
  Oh yeah Harvey Keane you remember
• 3:30:54
  The one batting titles but
• 3:30:56
  There was a period in there
• 3:30:58
  When the Yankees
• 3:31:00
  The dynasty if they hadn't won a penant
• 3:31:02
  If they didn't win a penant
• 3:31:04
  The team that did was the Tigers
• 3:31:06
  Right and the competition between
• 3:31:08
  The two teams was great here and in Detroit
• 3:31:10
  Great great crowds
• 3:31:12
  Great competition it's been a great rivalry all the time
• 3:31:14
  I remember when Red Roth
• 3:31:16
  It was a great Yankee third baseman
• 3:31:18
  One of the greatest of all time
• 3:31:20
  Managed the Tigers and had a great battle
• 3:31:22
  One year and the Tigers were finally beaten out in the end
• 3:31:24
  And one of the reasons I don't know
• 3:31:26
  How the Yankees got Johnny Myers
• 3:31:28
  And let him go I think the Tigers wanted him
• 3:31:30
  I think he would have made the difference
• 3:31:32
  That's right that was in 1950 of course
• 3:31:34
  And the Tigers led the race almost
• 3:31:36
  All the way and the Yankees came in at the close
• 3:31:38
  There was a very exciting year
• 3:31:40
  Well Hal I sure appreciate you're coming in
• 3:31:42
  And representing the press
• 3:31:44
  On this and there's so much I could say
• 3:31:46
  About the Tigers
• 3:31:48
  Through the years I know
• 3:31:50
  When I was a kid in Birmingham, Alabama
• 3:31:52
  They had a working agreement with the Detroit Tigers
• 3:31:54
  And a lot of the great Tigers
• 3:31:56
  In the middle 30s
• 3:31:58
  Alpine wind penance was around 35
• 3:32:00
  Or so played the Cubs
• 3:32:02
  I believe the Cubs
• 3:32:04
  They don't have the Cardinals
• 3:32:06
  Dizzy Dean
• 3:32:08
  The Joe Medwick situation
• 3:32:10
  When the
• 3:32:12
  Fans got a little angry out there
• 3:32:14
  When he slid hard
• 3:32:16
  In the third baseman Marv
• 3:32:18
  Marv Owen
• 3:32:20
  A lot of people who are listening in
• 3:32:22
  Of course weren't even born then
• 3:32:24
  I'd only been
• 3:32:26
  I guess I was maybe 6 or 7 years old seriously
• 3:32:28
  A guy named Earl Whitehill
• 3:32:30
  Got killed
• 3:32:32
  In an old B-Laxman
• 3:32:34
  He was a great left hand pitcher
• 3:32:36
  He was like a Louis Tion today
• 3:32:38
  When
• 3:32:40
  I used to go to Rick Woodfield in Birmingham
• 3:32:42
  He'd go in a wind up and he would actually
• 3:32:44
  Spend his body around completely
• 3:32:46
  And look at second baseman then pitch
• 3:32:48
  In general Alvin Crowder
• 3:32:50
  Those two went from Birmingham
• 3:32:52
  To Detroit
• 3:32:54
  So naturally we rooted for Detroit
• 3:32:56
  As people, you know, kids run up
• 3:32:58
  Then later they both wound up in Washington
• 3:33:00
  And helped the Senators win
• 3:33:02
  But there's always been a wonderful
• 3:33:04
  Feeling about this
• 3:33:06
  That's the wonderful thing about baseball
• 3:33:08
  Of course you don't know where your fans are going to be
• 3:33:10
  You have fans all over the country
• 3:33:12
  The Yankees do have, we do have
• 3:33:14
  That's what's the appeal of the game of course
• 3:33:16
  Now you have Ralph Hough as your manager
• 3:33:18
  And you know
• 3:33:20
  I'm saying this
• 3:33:22
  For the benefit of those who are listening
• 3:33:24
  In who may also know it
• 3:33:26
  The Tigers have been one of the outstanding
• 3:33:28
  Organizations and all of baseball
• 3:33:30
  All through the years
• 3:33:32
  A lot of folks who
• 3:33:34
  Live in a town don't really
• 3:33:36
  Pay attention to what happens
• 3:33:38
  Behind the scenes in other towns
• 3:33:40
  But now you came in
• 3:33:42
  From Oklahoma, I came in
• 3:33:44
  From Alabama, I found this to be true
• 3:33:46
  Right, I've enjoyed my life
• 3:33:48
  And I've tried very very much
• 3:33:50
  It's a fine organization as you say
• 3:33:52
  Ralph Hough has done an admirable job
• 3:33:54
  With a group of very fine young players
• 3:33:56
  That we're hoping will mature
• 3:33:58
  In a couple of years into a championship club
• 3:34:00
  And I think we will
• 3:34:02
  Well I'll tell you this
• 3:34:04
  They always draw the fans
• 3:34:06
  And I hope Mark Pedrich gets back
• 3:34:08
  A good champion
• 3:34:10
  He's been St. Petersburg
• 3:34:12
  Now working out with our instructional
• 3:34:14
  League team
• 3:34:16
  And Ralph Hough is there
• 3:34:18
  At the end of this week
• 3:34:20
  And put him on the mound and see what he can do
• 3:34:22
  The doctors are very optimistic
• 3:34:24
  And we are too
• 3:34:26
  Thanks to you, Mark
• 3:34:28
  So it's good to see you
• 3:34:30
  Much obliged to you
• 3:34:32
  Hough Middlesworth Public Relations
• 3:34:34
  Director of Detroit Tigers
• 3:34:36
  And a top
• 3:34:38
  Rider, a member of the baseball
• 3:34:40
  Right Association of America
• 3:34:42
  And we thought we'd get the viewpoint
• 3:34:44
  And a member
• 3:34:46
  Arrival club in the American League
• 3:34:48
  John
• 3:34:50
  I was going to be a little listening to both of you
• 3:34:52
  I went back to
• 3:34:54
  The assistant manager's office
• 3:34:56
  Where frankly the party upstairs
• 3:34:58
  Is going on and a select little
• 3:35:00
  Champagne and
• 3:35:02
  Gabe and George have not gotten upstairs yet
• 3:35:04
  But when they do we're going to
• 3:35:06
  Bring them in here, I'd love to congratulate them
• 3:35:08
  You know someone said it was a
• 3:35:10
  Bill Shea, it was a Bob Merrill
• 3:35:12
  It's so great for Gabe Paul
• 3:35:14
  To be one of the world champions
• 3:35:16
  That's what the business is all about
• 3:35:18
  Can I tell you something about
• 3:35:20
  Gabe tell you
• 3:35:22
  I don't mean to
• 3:35:24
  Put it quite that way
• 3:35:26
  You know it
• 3:35:28
  He was a follow that
• 3:35:30
  Came from upstate New York
• 3:35:32
  Around Syracuse
• 3:35:34
  He broke in as a
• 3:35:36
  Not even a bat boy, but he shined his shoes
• 3:35:38
  In the clubhouse
• 3:35:40
  And from there
• 3:35:42
  He rose until he became
• 3:35:44
  The second man in line
• 3:35:46
  To the president of Cincinnati Reds
• 3:35:48
  Who later became the National League president
• 3:35:50
  Warren Giles and he became president
• 3:35:52
  Of the Cincinnati Reds
• 3:35:54
  He built up a great ball club for them
• 3:35:56
  In the 50s, he remember the year
• 3:35:58
  And they hit over
• 3:36:00
  221
• 3:36:02
  The year I referred to with
• 3:36:04
  Bertie Tevitz
• 3:36:06
  Before they hit 221 home runs
• 3:36:08
  And he then
• 3:36:10
  Left
• 3:36:12
  Go to Cleveland
• 3:36:14
  Just before they
• 3:36:16
  Right after they won the penalty
• 3:36:18
  39 and 40
• 3:36:20
  They won 2 punts and one of them
• 3:36:22
  The Yankees beat them in 1939
• 3:36:24
  Which was my first year, the next year
• 3:36:26
  Strangely the man who just had on
• 3:36:28
  Detroit
• 3:36:30
  The Reds and Tigers played the 40 series
• 3:36:32
  But Gabe and moving about
• 3:36:34
  Had never
• 3:36:36
  Gotten this far
• 3:36:38
  And over a half century
• 3:36:40
  A man that
• 3:36:42
  Was on the American League
• 3:36:44
  Executive Committee
• 3:36:46
  A man who is a real baseball man
• 3:36:48
  A George Weiss type
• 3:36:50
  A
• 3:36:52
  Branch Ricky type
• 3:36:54
  A guy that is good for baseball
• 3:36:56
  And put it that way, I'm so proud that he won
• 3:36:58
  It's such luck and timing in life
• 3:37:00
  As you know, you can pick a ball player
• 3:37:02
  Who maybe in his first year George Zeber
• 3:37:04
  And he's who will have a world championship
• 3:37:06
  Ring for the rest of his life
• 3:37:08
  No matter what happens
• 3:37:10
  I got one
• 3:37:12
  You have more than one
• 3:37:14
  They only gave me one really
• 3:37:16
  Ernie Banks played like that
• 3:37:18
  And never even got to a penalty
• 3:37:20
  Well, Mr. Baseball
• 3:37:22
  We're going to have different people on
• 3:37:24
  But right now it's time to
• 3:37:26
  While you do that kind of run
• 3:37:28
  Banks might be available
• 3:37:30
  Got to try to pay your immense salary
• 3:37:32
  In a couple minutes
• 3:37:34
  I'm not going back to Champagne
• 3:37:36
  Trying to see if I can get one of these
• 3:37:38
  Sparrows, okay
• 3:37:40
  Right now, let me talk to you about
• 3:37:42
  Quasar, if I may
• 3:37:44
  Another smash hit from Quasar
• 3:37:46

• 3:38:06
  Rock

  I'm selling back at Yankee Stadium
• 3:38:09
  Mail Allen will be buying just a moment
• 3:38:11
  I'm not going to mention all the names
• 3:38:13
  But again, I do want to thank the New York
• 3:38:15
  Islanders, the New Jersey Nets
• 3:38:17
  Manchester Broadcasting Productions
• 3:38:20
  For
• 3:38:22
  Combining along with
• 3:38:24
  Our good people at WMCA
• 3:38:26
  Dennis Israel and Mark Mason
• 3:38:28
  For
• 3:38:30
  Canceling the New York Islander
• 3:38:32
  Broadcast that would have been on the network
• 3:38:34
  So that we could all be here at Yankee
• 3:38:36
  Stadium for what turned out to be the clincher
• 3:38:38
  And probably the most, or not maybe the most
• 3:38:40
  One of the most dramatic nights with
• 3:38:42
  With Reggie Jackson coming to the fore
• 3:38:44
  And hitting three home runs
• 3:38:46
  Three consecutive times of bat
• 3:38:48
  And I believe on three consecutive pitches
• 3:38:50
  I think he hit the first pitch every time
• 3:38:52
  And
• 3:38:54
  I know I would have felt very badly
• 3:38:56
  But I think he's been here
• 3:38:58
  The Yankees did that a couple of years ago
• 3:39:00
  They canceled one of their early season games
• 3:39:02
  So we could bring you the Nets championship
• 3:39:04
  Final against Denver when they
• 3:39:06
  Erased a 22-point lead
• 3:39:08
  I think I was excited that night
• 3:39:10
  Mail Allen has brought in the commissioner baseball
• 3:39:12
  I did a program though, not too long ago
• 3:39:14
  I sat in for Barry Gray
• 3:39:16
  I had Marty Appellon
• 3:39:18
  Oh, yeah
• 3:39:20
  He's along with Joe Grasiole Jr
• 3:39:22
  And the player, agent, business
• 3:39:24
  Hall of Famers in baseball history
• 3:39:26
  And Marty Appell gave a great
• 3:39:28
  Testimonial to Blueie Cune, the commissioner baseball
• 3:39:30
  And I agree under Blueie Cune
• 3:39:32
  Baseball is prospered
• 3:39:34
  Like it never has before, and if I may say this
• 3:39:36
  Mr. Cune, we've never met before
• 3:39:38
  I'm John Sterling, it's nice to meet you
• 3:39:40
  And do you know this was baseball's bound of year
• 3:39:42
  In attendance, in great crowds
• 3:39:44
  In tremendous play in the
• 3:39:46
  In the expansion cities, Seattle, Toronto
• 3:39:48
  People wouldn't know this, but this was baseball's greatest year
• 3:39:50
  And what a great finish for it tonight
• 3:39:52
  And I think he's won, but because of the drama
• 3:39:54
  In the two biggest cities in this country
• 3:39:56
  New York and Los Angeles, and you must be a very happy man tonight
• 3:39:58
  I'm delighted, I agree
• 3:40:00
  It has been a tremendous year
• 3:40:02
  For baseball, we've seen so many things go right
• 3:40:04
  We've had so much excitement
• 3:40:06
  We've had, you know, we've had controversy
• 3:40:08
  But that has all been bad
• 3:40:10
  Some of it, I guess, the commissioner would just as soon do without
• 3:40:12
  Because it's a sort of a problem for him
• 3:40:14
  But the whole thing has been enormously
• 3:40:16
  upbeat
• 3:40:18
  We've seen attendance, such as many people never dreamed
• 3:40:20
  In professional baseball, we've seen interest
• 3:40:22
  At a normally high level
• 3:40:24
  And I think we've seen a very fine, exciting series
• 3:40:26
  That thrilled the country
• 3:40:28
  And the whole thing has been
• 3:40:30
  A very suitable climax to
• 3:40:32
  The great championship year of 1977
• 3:40:34
  You know, about a decade ago
• 3:40:36
  People were saying, well, baseball is too slow
• 3:40:38
  And it's an old man's game
• 3:40:40
  And now you see so many kids at ballparks
• 3:40:42
  And cities, I'm not talking about New York drawing
• 3:40:44
  Or LA drawing, I'm talking about
• 3:40:46
  Milwaukee, Seattle
• 3:40:48
  Toronto
• 3:40:50
  Philadelphia drawing 2.5 million
• 3:40:52
  Cincinnati, 10 games out drawing 2.5 million
• 3:40:54
  Chicago Cubs
• 3:40:56
  And you see so many young people in ballparks
• 3:40:58
  And I think the interest in baseball is in an all-time high
• 3:41:00
  I know on my program
• 3:41:02
  It is discussed all year long
• 3:41:04
  You know, basketball is there
• 3:41:06
  Hockey is there, football is there
• 3:41:08
  But baseball is discussed all year
• 3:41:10
  Well, in one of the great new games that's played
• 3:41:12
  Is in the off-season, a lot of people spend time
• 3:41:14
  Discussing what the commissioner has done wrong
• 3:41:16
  That keeps the interest up
• 3:41:18
  That keeps the interest up
• 3:41:20
  But I do agree with you about the youngsters
• 3:41:22
  In the ballpark
• 3:41:24
  And I give a lot of credit to 26 baseball clubs
• 3:41:26
  Who I think have had a real sense
• 3:41:28
  That baseball had better appeal for the young people
• 3:41:30
  And they've gone out and done their best
• 3:41:32
  To attract young people to our game
• 3:41:34
  In a whole bunch of ways they do in marketing
• 3:41:36
  Including maintaining
• 3:41:38
  Very reasonable prices
• 3:41:40
  So that people can come to our games
• 3:41:42
  And I think we've been successful
• 3:41:44
  In attracting young people
• 3:41:46
  I think the future on that account is even brighter
• 3:41:48
  Than it is today
• 3:41:50
  John Mann or I want to mention
• 3:41:52
  Something about the commissioner
• 3:41:54
  Not from the standpoint
• 3:41:56
  Of embarrassing him
• 3:41:58
  Two years ago I think
• 3:42:00
  They had the first intercollegiate
• 3:42:02
  Summer baseball
• 3:42:06
  It opened up in
• 3:42:08
  Bergen County, New Jersey
• 3:42:10
  Cable television
• 3:42:12
  Baseball commissioner's office
• 3:42:16
  Or the baseball commissioner
• 3:42:18
  And donated as I remember
• 3:42:20
  $25,000
• 3:42:22
  To this league
• 3:42:24
  Which included
• 3:42:28
  Bergen County
• 3:42:30
  Included
• 3:42:32
  Teams in New York
• 3:42:34
  And met the pollinary all together
• 3:42:36
  But
• 3:42:38
  The teams were made up
• 3:42:40
  Of college ball players
• 3:42:42
  Who lived in a given area
• 3:42:48
  In the development
• 3:42:50
  Of future major leaguers
• 3:42:54
  Your office
• 3:42:56
  As I understand it Mr. Commissioner
• 3:42:58
  Has
• 3:43:00
  Given great support
• 3:43:02
  Not only financially but
• 3:43:04
  In other ways
• 3:43:06
  To these leagues
• 3:43:08
  The
• 3:43:10
  Expansion in the major
• 3:43:12
  You had a reduction in the minor league
• 3:43:14
  So the players had to come from somewhere
• 3:43:16
  Do you remember that?
• 3:43:18
  We think these college leagues are extremely important
• 3:43:20
  Because it gives a whole lot of
• 3:43:22
  Very promising young players a chance
• 3:43:24
  After college is over
• 3:43:26
  To play during the summer
• 3:43:28
  In very effective, good competitive leagues
• 3:43:30
  And we think this has been helpful
• 3:43:32
  In the development of a great deal of talent
• 3:43:34
  We've been very happy to support those
• 3:43:36
  And we also love baseball
• 3:43:38
  And it's fun to do it because it does help
• 3:43:40
  In the development of baseball
• 3:43:42
  But these leagues have been important
• 3:43:44
  You're absolutely right
• 3:43:46
  I don't like to get into controversy
• 3:43:48
  Deliberately
• 3:43:50
  But this one time I will to this extent
• 3:43:52
  As the
• 3:43:54
  High Commissioner baseball
• 3:43:58
  We had a situation here
• 3:44:00
  In this series
• 3:44:02
  We had a lot of controversy
• 3:44:04
  About the club all year
• 3:44:06
  Some of it related to your office
• 3:44:08
  At least indirectly
• 3:44:10
  Going back to last year
• 3:44:12
  You understand what I mean
• 3:44:14
  I like always
• 3:44:16
  You as an attorney
• 3:44:18
  I'm supposed to have practiced but never did
• 3:44:20
  But there's always two sides to a coin
• 3:44:22
  A lot of people read things
• 3:44:24
  And so they think certain things
• 3:44:26
  You had reasons for
• 3:44:28
  The moves that you made last year
• 3:44:30
  And negating a given deal
• 3:44:32
  And bobbing more than one club
• 3:44:34
  And not just the Yankees and so forth
• 3:44:36
  But
• 3:44:38
  I would like to just
• 3:44:40
  Directly
• 3:44:42
  Ask you a question
• 3:44:44
  You have to be a fan
• 3:44:46
  You always were before you even became commissioner
• 3:44:48
  I had the privilege of knowing you even then
• 3:44:50
  Wasn't it very dramatic
• 3:44:52
  Let me put it this way
• 3:44:56
  If you don't want to answer the question
• 3:44:58
  I can understand it
• 3:45:00
  With Reggie Jackson doing what he did today
• 3:45:02
  In view of all that's been going on
• 3:45:04
  As a fan, then you are a fan
• 3:45:06
  You bet I am
• 3:45:08
  You bet I am
• 3:45:10
  Would it be rude of me
• 3:45:12
  To ask you what you're feeling was
• 3:45:14
  As a fan, not as a commissioner
• 3:45:16
  I will tell you absolutely what my feeling was
• 3:45:18
  I was absolutely thrilled
• 3:45:20
  To see him hit that third home run
• 3:45:22
  To me that was a fantastic world series
• 3:45:24
  Accomplishment
• 3:45:26
  To see him under the pressure he has been
• 3:45:28
  At the core of some of the
• 3:45:30
  Controversies we've had in the game
• 3:45:32
  So you know there's a lot of pressure on him
• 3:45:34
  He didn't play the last game
• 3:45:36
  Of the league championship series
• 3:45:38
  Which had to put pressure on him
• 3:45:40
  And I think for him to step up there today
• 3:45:42
  And hit three home runs the way he did
• 3:45:44
  And the last one, I think it's still going out there
• 3:45:46
  To me
• 3:45:48
  It showed what a champion
• 3:45:50
  Reggie is and what he can do
• 3:45:52
  When the pressure is there
• 3:45:54
  Thank you very much
• 3:45:56
  I just want to tell you this
• 3:45:58
  On that show
• 3:46:00
  That's what I cited about
• 3:46:02
  Because the times I've heard you say
• 3:46:04
  When you've appeared on TV
• 3:46:06
  You know all the players and what they're doing
• 3:46:08
  Good and bad and the scouting reports
• 3:46:10
  Because you are a fan, so am I
• 3:46:12
  And I think that's great
• 3:46:14
  It's our business too
• 3:46:16
  But I think baseball is at this family's
• 3:46:18
  I'm so happy for baseball
• 3:46:20
  I could watch a baseball game every day
• 3:46:22
  And never tire of it
• 3:46:24
  And it's a great year, congratulations
• 3:46:26
  There never will be a surcease of controversy
• 3:46:28
  Baseball is too big for that
• 3:46:30
  No, John, that's correct
• 3:46:32
  Baseball is, we first had a professional ball
• 3:46:34
  In 1869 in this country
• 3:46:36
  And we first had organized leagues
• 3:46:38
  Even before that, amateur leagues
• 3:46:40
  Baseball has always been a game of controversy
• 3:46:42
  And never a game really afraid of controversy
• 3:46:44
  And I think it has been a part of
• 3:46:46
  The strength of the game
• 3:46:48
  That what goes on in it is quite open
• 3:46:50
  You find very little quieted down
• 3:46:52
  Oh yes, maybe a little here and there
• 3:46:54
  But basically the story of baseball is told
• 3:46:56
  And told very thoroughly, we play every day
• 3:46:58
  The media covers us very thoroughly
• 3:47:00
  We don't have any secrets in this business
• 3:47:02
  And I think if we could keep them
• 3:47:04
  We probably wouldn't, and the effect has been
• 3:47:06
  To make us real and believable
• 3:47:08
  And I think quite honest
• 3:47:10
  You know what I'd like to say here
• 3:47:12
  I've had the privilege of being out here
• 3:47:14
  Number of times, you know, in the course of the year
• 3:47:16
  Here's the commissioner of baseball
• 3:47:18
  He makes a decision
• 3:47:20
  Against the Yankees
• 3:47:22
  He did it for baseball, not
• 3:47:24
  Against a ball club
• 3:47:26
  But he is sitting with the owner
• 3:47:28
  Of the Yankees, they are friends
• 3:47:30
  They may disagree with one another
• 3:47:32
  But you see, this is what makes baseball
• 3:47:34
  Still in the national pastime
• 3:47:36
  I don't know if it sounds old corny
• 3:47:38
  But it still is
• 3:47:40
  You can disagree with one another
• 3:47:42
  And you can argue with one another
• 3:47:44
  But in the final analysis, you are a member
• 3:47:46
  Of a fraternity
• 3:47:48
  An institution
• 3:47:50
  Not just a race, an institution
• 3:47:52
  It's a part of our country
• 3:47:54
  You're right, I think it's fair to say
• 3:47:56
  That George Timberlain and I have had some
• 3:47:58
  Monumental disagreements
• 3:48:00
  And that probably, even that puts it mildly
• 3:48:02
  I suspect, but I don't think we have ever
• 3:48:04
  Been enemies of one another
• 3:48:06
  And while we may have disagreed
• 3:48:08
  I think we both respected the other guy's position
• 3:48:10
  And I would say that today about what George
• 3:48:12
  Has done to try to build this team
• 3:48:14
  And I'm sure he would say that about
• 3:48:16
  Functions, he doesn't have to agree
• 3:48:18
  But he knows that I'm doing the best I can
• 3:48:20
  And then I work hard at the job
• 3:48:22
  Which is something you better ask of people
• 3:48:24
  You really do, I'll say that
• 3:48:26
  And you've been a great commissioner
• 3:48:28
  I hope you still will be
• 3:48:30
  For as long as you want to be
• 3:48:32
  That was Buick Hewitt
• 3:48:34
  I want to talk to a friend of mine
• 3:48:36
  When he was playing shortstop
• 3:48:38
  Now, he's
• 3:48:40
  Administrative assistant
• 3:48:42
  I don't know if that's a title
• 3:48:44
  This is the stick, I call him just stick
• 3:48:46
  This is Gene Michael, a fine shortstop
• 3:48:48
  With the Yanks and their problem years
• 3:48:50
  And now an administrative assistant
• 3:48:52
  Very close to George Steinbredder
• 3:48:54
  In the decisions and the running of the ball club
• 3:48:56
  In fact, Gene of course is
• 3:48:58
  A gentleman who had the walkie-talkie
• 3:49:00
  He was abused several times
• 3:49:02
  And several times, Gene, are you
• 3:49:04
  Did you get as much of a kick
• 3:49:06
  As much of a thrill out of this World Series
• 3:49:08
  As you always thought you might if you'd be
• 3:49:10
  In a championship situation
• 3:49:12
  I don't think you can ever get the same thrill
• 3:49:14
  Out of it as you would if you were a player
• 3:49:16
  But this is probably the next best thing
• 3:49:18
  I know that there are players that
• 3:49:20
  Didn't play that much this year
• 3:49:22
  That are really thrilled about it
• 3:49:24
  And I know that I would have been thrilled
• 3:49:26
  If I was a player just sitting on the bench
• 3:49:28
  If I was playing regularly
• 3:49:30
  That would be even a greater thrill
• 3:49:32
  But this is a close affiliation
• 3:49:34
  Or whatever you want to call it
• 3:49:36
  And I'm just glad to play a small part in it
• 3:49:38
  Alright, Gene, I don't know if it's a small part
• 3:49:40
  I do know this
• 3:49:42
  I wanted so much for you to be back with the Yankees
• 3:49:44
  You were released last year, I believe, by the Red Sox
• 3:49:46
  You came back with the Yanks
• 3:49:48
  First as a coach now as administrative assistant
• 3:49:50
  And baseball's in your blood
• 3:49:52
  It's been there for a long, long time
• 3:49:54
  You've played other sports in school
• 3:49:56
  And there are a lot of people
• 3:49:58
  And we talked about this before
• 3:50:00
  We mentioned Ernie Banks' name
• 3:50:02
  He's the most prominent name
• 3:50:04
  There are probably a thousand guys who never get into the World Series
• 3:50:06
  Now you know the kind of show that I have
• 3:50:08
  The name of one kind or another
• 3:50:10
  And the people who have been
• 3:50:12
  Living with the reports on radio, TV
• 3:50:14
  Newspapers, magazines
• 3:50:16
  The daily trials and tribulations
• 3:50:18
  Of the Yanks
• 3:50:20
  I don't know what I want to ask about
• 3:50:22
  I guess I want to ask you all about it
• 3:50:24
  Is it surprising that a ball cup could rise
• 3:50:26
  Above all the jive and the nonsense
• 3:50:28
  And the Winner World's championship
• 3:50:30
  And isn't it a little bit dramatic
• 3:50:32
  The way they did it tonight with the three homeruns
• 3:50:34
  In the row by Reggie Jackson
• 3:50:36
  And the home by Chris Chambliss
• 3:50:38
  To get him even in a ball game
• 3:50:40
  Where if they lose, now they go to a seventh game
• 3:50:42
  And you don't know who's going to win a seventh game
• 3:50:44
  This is all kind of amazing that this year
• 3:50:46
  Is coming past in the Yanks of Champions
• 3:50:48
  Yes it is
• 3:50:50
  It's a thrill for every single player
• 3:50:52
  I know that
• 3:50:54
  You're talking about Chris Chambliss' home run
• 3:50:56
  I know that was a big thrill for him
• 3:50:58
  Because last year he hit the big one
• 3:51:00
  He's had trouble his last couple months
• 3:51:02
  And he hasn't hit the big home run
• 3:51:04
  In the ball game because when you're two nothing down
• 3:51:06
  Or something and you think you may never catch up
• 3:51:08
  And when you do, it's a big thrill
• 3:51:10
  And I know he put us back in the ball game
• 3:51:12
  Reggie, he has that fire
• 3:51:14
  Reggie can do those things
• 3:51:16
  Gene was just like the other day
• 3:51:18
  When we were talking about this before
• 3:51:20
  The first error we made in the series
• 3:51:22
  Was to spin out over and the base hit
• 3:51:24
  And
• 3:51:26
  Was it Baker? He reached second
• 3:51:28
  The next ball goes to Nettles
• 3:51:30
  Normally double play
• 3:51:32
  You know, takes his eyes
• 3:51:34
  For a moment you play
• 3:51:36
  Sometimes you take your eyes and see where a runner is
• 3:51:38
  Normally, in a double play, you're still in the ball game
• 3:51:40
  People say a 10-4 ball game
• 3:51:42
  I could have made a difference
• 3:51:44
  But that time, he's still in the ball game
• 3:51:46
  That's right, it looks like a double play
• 3:51:48
  But I saw what that ball did
• 3:51:50
  That ball really came up and it wasn't an easy play at all
• 3:51:52
  It was a tough play and that's the play you get Arizona
• 3:51:54
  The ball comes up quite a bit
• 3:51:56
  If it comes up and bounces over his head, it's the base hit
• 3:51:58
  But when it comes up and hits you in the middle of the arm
• 3:52:00
  You either take the night in the first inning
• 3:52:02
  Two outs, dent backs up on the ball
• 3:52:04
  You know, you can either charge it
• 3:52:06
  You could have booted it and you go back
• 3:52:08
  So they get a man on, boom, homer
• 3:52:10
  But then we get one back
• 3:52:12
  The same way with shortstop left-failer
• 3:52:14
  Calling each other off the ball
• 3:52:16
  One thing I did want to ask you
• 3:52:18
  John mentioned the walkie-talkie situation
• 3:52:20
  After Reggie
• 3:52:22
  Either hit his second or third home run
• 3:52:24
  I was running back and forth
• 3:52:26
  And I was running back and forth
• 3:52:28
  And Mr. Steinbrenner's box
• 3:52:30
  Back to the TV just taking a look
• 3:52:32
  They had a close-up of Reggie on the telephone
• 3:52:34
  So obviously that had to be
• 3:52:36
  With somebody upstairs
• 3:52:38
  I don't know who else
• 3:52:40
  In the middle of a ballgame
• 3:52:42
  He could have been talking to
• 3:52:44
  Could it have been a change of pitchers
• 3:52:46
  Maybe it's after the second homer
• 3:52:48
  And he was coming up shortly
• 3:52:50
  About what this picture through is
• 3:52:52
  Before Gene replied
• 3:52:54
  Let me just break the station
• 3:52:56
  Because his midnight WMCA
• 3:52:58
  Strauss communications in New York
• 3:53:00
  And we are going to continue this for about
• 3:53:02
  Half an hour, you know, I caught that
• 3:53:04
  I was standing next to Bob Fishel
• 3:53:06
  And Mickey Morabito
• 3:53:08
  And they did have a monitor
• 3:53:10
  And I thought I saw Jackson
• 3:53:12
  Saying that in the monitor
• 3:53:14
  I thought that he said low fastball
• 3:53:16
  Meaning maybe the pinchy hit
• 3:53:18
  Or maybe where
• 3:53:20
  Where Houten was throwing a sosa
• 3:53:22
  I think it was sosa
• 3:53:24
  Because it was throwing the ball
• 3:53:26
  There by the way were some unusual pitches
• 3:53:28
  Throne in this game
• 3:53:30
  Because Reggie Smith had a fastball
• 3:53:32
  And I didn't think
• 3:53:34
  I had no one ever told me a scouting report
• 3:53:36
  But I saw Smith playing the National League
• 3:53:38
  And the Mets would play him
• 3:53:40
  And I saw Mets pitch him with slow breaking stuff
• 3:53:42
  Whatever
• 3:53:44
  And I was surprised that Jackson got a couple of fastballs
• 3:53:46
  To hit over the plate
• 3:53:48
  I think the second one
• 3:53:50
  I think sosa tried to get it on his hands
• 3:53:52
  And I was like, who is Reggie talking to
• 3:53:54
  And why
• 3:53:56
  If that was your question
• 3:53:58
  That was the question he probably was calling
• 3:54:00
  You know, answering some fan of his
• 3:54:02
  I think he's talking to Gene really
• 3:54:04
  He called up and wanted to know a scouting report
• 3:54:06
  And I didn't follow these ballcups
• 3:54:08
  Clyde King, Jerry Walker and Bernie Tevison
• 3:54:10
  About name and death
• 3:54:12
  By the way, we had Bernie and Clyde on before
• 3:54:14
  In the game
• 3:54:16
  He called up to find out what sosa threw
• 3:54:18
  And I had seen him in the spring
• 3:54:20
  And they had followed him
• 3:54:22
  And they knew he was a slider's fastball pitcher
• 3:54:24
  And Reggie wanted to know about that
• 3:54:26
  He was pretty much a two-pitch pitcher
• 3:54:28
  And I think he had a fastball
• 3:54:30
  That was a little bit in
• 3:54:32
  Sosa has a good arm
• 3:54:34
  He asked him about his move
• 3:54:36
  And we said he had a fair move in first base
• 3:54:38
  Pretty good move
• 3:54:40
  And he wanted to know about him
• 3:54:42
  It was good that he called up
• 3:54:44
  He could ask other players
• 3:54:46
  And I'm sure he was asking around
• 3:54:48
  I think that means he was really trying to think
• 3:54:50
  Gene, I do want to ask you this question
• 3:54:52
  Tell me about the decision
• 3:54:54
  Middle part
• 3:54:56
  End of the year for you to go up
• 3:54:58
  With a walkie-talkie to talk about
• 3:55:00
  Defenses. I saw it really happen once
• 3:55:02
  Where the Yankees positioned
• 3:55:04
  Jackson or Blair
• 3:55:06
  Was in the right field closer to the line
• 3:55:08
  They kept moving the line
• 3:55:10
  And I honestly don't know who it was
• 3:55:12
  Now it was Solongo, Maven, Cowins
• 3:55:14
  Hit the ball to the right field line
• 3:55:16
  Blair made an easy catch of it
• 3:55:18
  What do you try to impart
• 3:55:20
  When the game is going on
• 3:55:22
  To either Yogi or Alston
• 3:55:24
  Who has the other end of your walkie-talkie
• 3:55:26
  What we do is we go over the scouting reports
• 3:55:28
  And then I have charts
• 3:55:30
  I'll explain it during the season
• 3:55:32
  First of all, because I have different charts
• 3:55:34
  For different hitters
• 3:55:36
  Against different pitching
• 3:55:38
  And I have all these things that I look at
• 3:55:40
  And consider and then I consider our pitcher
• 3:55:42
  And I make up the charts, I go down
• 3:55:44
  And he's going to try to pitch them
• 3:55:46
  If you're going to pitch them a certain way
• 3:55:48
  Then I'll make another adjustment right in front of them
• 3:55:50
  Right where we know
• 3:55:52
  That they're going to have a tendency to hit the ball
• 3:55:54
  You never know, like you said
• 3:55:56
  Moving to the right and all of a sudden
• 3:55:58
  The ball is hit there, well you're just hoping
• 3:56:00
  That the ball is hit there, well you feel that
• 3:56:02
  Maybe he's going to hit the ball towards the right field
• 3:56:04
  So you don't want to give him the right field line
• 3:56:06
  There's a lot of guessing involved
• 3:56:08
  And there's a lot of luck involved too
• 3:56:10
  But what you do is try to play the best possible percentage
• 3:56:12
  Is this question?
• 3:56:14
  As a shortstop, when you're playing
• 3:56:16
  You adjust the quality of the count
• 3:56:18
  Don't you?
• 3:56:20
  The things that you know, therefore
• 3:56:22
  Sitting upstairs, don't you
• 3:56:24
  In part some of the information
• 3:56:26
  Based on your judgment
• 3:56:28
  As a player
• 3:56:30
  How you would
• 3:56:32
  Either move closer to second or further away
• 3:56:34
  Whether, depending on the count
• 3:56:36
  You really do, but it's hard for us
• 3:56:38
  To know the pitch that's coming to the plate
• 3:56:40
  The infielders really have that advantage
• 3:56:42
  So we can't really tell what pitch is going to go to the plate
• 3:56:44
  So we don't really move or fool around with the infielders
• 3:56:46
  As much as they're good thinkers
• 3:56:48
  Or they win the infielders, you don't want to be
• 3:56:50
  Right, right, right
• 3:56:52
  But the outfielders don't have the advantage
• 3:56:54
  Of knowing the pitch that's going to the plate
• 3:56:56
  So what we're doing is we're just putting them where
• 3:56:58
  We think they'll hit the ball, have the best chance
• 3:57:00
  Of hitting the ball, in other words you feel that
• 3:57:02
  A player doesn't hit the ball down the line
• 3:57:04
  So you give them both lines, you move off the lines
• 3:57:06
  Maybe a little bit and try to cut up the alleys
• 3:57:08
  And that's all you're trying to do
• 3:57:10
  You can't tell where the ball is going to be
• 3:57:12
  You try to tell what you really
• 3:57:14
  You try to get an advantage
• 3:57:16
  Where the areas that they're going to
• 3:57:18
  Cut down the field on them, so to speak
• 3:57:20
  You know, George or Mr. Steinbrenner
• 3:57:22
  Having been a football coach
• 3:57:24
  And this was his idea
• 3:57:26
  I didn't think too much of it when I put it started
• 3:57:28
  But then as I saw other teams playing our hitters wrong
• 3:57:32
  Then I knew that we were on the right track
• 3:57:34
  Because when I would see these other hitters
• 3:57:36
  And I would know that
• 3:57:38
  Gee, we got to be making some mistakes too
• 3:57:40
  So let's get as involved as we can
• 3:57:42
  I just want to add Mel
• 3:57:44
  We're going to continue this for maybe another 25 minutes
• 3:57:46
  So we will join the Long John Neville
• 3:57:48
  Candy Jones program in progress
• 3:57:50
  We thank them for relinquishing some of their time
• 3:57:52
  But you know, can I just
• 3:57:54
  Inject this one thing?
• 3:57:56
  Yes
• 3:57:58
  Years of doing football
• 3:58:00
  And George Steinbrenner having been a football coach
• 3:58:02
  They always have at least two men
• 3:58:04
  Upstairs
• 3:58:06
  In football
• 3:58:08
  When the game is on
• 3:58:10
  They have scouts of course
• 3:58:12
  Scouting a given team ahead of time
• 3:58:14
  Oh, that rule
• 3:58:16
  New rule has been put into the game of football
• 3:58:18
  You can't scout a team now
• 3:58:20
  You only exchange films
• 3:58:22
  But when the game is on
• 3:58:24
  These scouts upstairs
• 3:58:26
  They can watch your offense and defense
• 3:58:28
  And see what's happening better than you can at ground level
• 3:58:30
  Absolutely
• 3:58:32
  And that's the point too
• 3:58:34
  It's true in all sports
• 3:58:36
  The worst seat of all
• 3:58:38
  In hockey or football
• 3:58:40
  Baseball is downstairs
• 3:58:42
  And baseball is certainly in the dugout
• 3:58:44
  And there are hockey teams now
• 3:58:46
  That are putting people upstairs
• 3:58:48
  To see the formations
• 3:58:50
  How they get the puck out of their zone
• 3:58:52
  Where they mass their five skaters
• 3:58:54
  It makes sense
• 3:58:56
  And when you're at ice level
• 3:58:58
  We never broadcast a game from my level
• 3:59:00
  And that's what the coach is saying
• 3:59:02
  He's not saying anything
• 3:59:04
  Figures go up and down
• 3:59:06
  You sit upstairs
• 3:59:08
  It's an entirely different game
• 3:59:10
  There's something else too that's involved
• 3:59:12
  Upstairs you have one thing to think about
• 3:59:14
  Billy has a thousand things to think about downstairs
• 3:59:16
  And we have nothing else to do
• 3:59:18
  But before the games
• 3:59:20
  I'll go over and sometimes I'll study charts
• 3:59:22
  And scouting reports
• 3:59:24
  And look at new ball players
• 3:59:26
  On paper
• 3:59:28
  During the game think of this one thing
• 3:59:30
  Whereas Billy has a thousand things to do
• 3:59:32
  And it's sort of a relief in a way
• 3:59:34
  If you can take it that way
• 3:59:36
  Just moving players
• 3:59:38
  I go over with the pitchers before the game
• 3:59:40
  How they're going to pitch them
• 3:59:42
  What kind of fastball they have
• 3:59:44
  I know what kind of fastball most of our pitchers have
• 3:59:46
  I know that when Gidry's right
• 3:59:48
  Right hand hitters so to speak don't pull
• 3:59:50
  His fastball very much
• 3:59:52
  When he gets it over the plate they can't pull the ball
• 3:59:54
  Because it's too much fastball
• 3:59:56
  Well if a guy is a pull hitter
• 3:59:58
  Why play him to pull against Gidry when he's getting the fastball over the plate
• 4:00:00
  And usually surprisingly
• 4:00:02
  They don't hit his slider anyway
• 4:00:04
  Let me ask you this
• 4:00:08
  In the second game of this World Series
• 4:00:10
  Houten showed the Yankees
• 4:00:12
  His knuckled curve
• 4:00:14
  But he was getting them out
• 4:00:16
  Mainly on the fastball
• 4:00:18
  If I'm correct I may be wrong
• 4:00:20
  But at least he was throwing more fastball
• 4:00:22
  He was showing them enough of the knuckled curve early
• 4:00:24
  And looked like the hitters were looking for it
• 4:00:26
  I happened to talk to one of the coaches tonight
• 4:00:28
  And he said
• 4:00:30
  I think our guys ought to stand up there
• 4:00:32
  And look for the fastball
• 4:00:34
  And said knuckled curve and pull him
• 4:00:36
  Did that make sense or not
• 4:00:38
  Well I don't know that much about it
• 4:00:40
  Because you know hitting was for me
• 4:00:42
  It was awfully tough
• 4:00:44
  But I do know that I heard hitters talking about it
• 4:00:46
  And I know they made some adjustments
• 4:00:48
  On Houten and it worked out well
• 4:00:50
  Especially Reggie I know he made some adjustments
• 4:00:52
  Well it sort of jammed us early
• 4:00:54
  Like he said
• 4:00:56
  That home run really put us back in
• 4:00:58
  That's right
• 4:01:00
  It was a turning point in the ballgame
• 4:01:02
  Really
• 4:01:04
  I think it was
• 4:01:06
  Well
• 4:01:08
  Gene we're going to let you go
• 4:01:10
  Thank you very much
• 4:01:12
  And by the way congratulations
• 4:01:14
  Thank you John
• 4:01:16
  Thank you Mel
• 4:01:18
  I appreciate it
• 4:01:20
  We hope we get Gabe and George
• 4:01:22
  By the way before you go
• 4:01:24
  You know one thing that interested me
• 4:01:26
  I love inside baseball
• 4:01:28
  Tonight Goodson came up to spin Schitter
• 4:01:30
  Yanks were way out in front of 8-3
• 4:01:32
  I think it was the 8-10
• 4:01:34
  I see Martin go out there and you knew Martin
• 4:01:36
  Was talking to Musson Torres
• 4:01:38
  Here's the book
• 4:01:40
  We haven't seen much of him
• 4:01:42
  No one's seen much of him
• 4:01:44
  You know they were talking it over
• 4:01:46
  I have Norman McClain on
• 4:01:48
  He's got his views from the Yankee clubhouse
• 4:01:50
  People wondering why aren't we in the clubhouse
• 4:01:52
  We're upstairs and you know the celebration is going on
• 4:01:54
  And those guys want to be
• 4:01:56
  With each other in the clubhouse
• 4:01:58
  Before they go out
• 4:02:00
  It's the biggest night of their lives
• 4:02:02
  They're taking two showers
• 4:02:04
  The first one was champagne
• 4:02:06
  And we hope that
• 4:02:08
  Maybe we can get Gabe and George
• 4:02:10
  Maybe they're upstairs
• 4:02:12
  And we're going to get to
• 4:02:14
  Norman McClain
• 4:02:16
  He's at every arena in Ballpark
• 4:02:18
  In the city

  Norman I
• 4:03:48
  I'm so happy to see
• 4:03:50
  You know tonight
• 4:03:52
  Was more than just a World Series win
• 4:03:54
  It was a great World Series win in the World Championship
• 4:03:56
  For New York City again
• 4:03:58
  And we're both New Yorkers and both love this
• 4:04:00
  Great City which has its problems
• 4:04:02
  But tonight it was the centerpiece
• 4:04:04
  The showcase for millions
• 4:04:06
  Of people across the country who love baseball
• 4:04:08
  And it couldn't have been more dramatic
• 4:04:10
  With the Jackson 3 homers
• 4:04:12
  Especially dramatic Norman
• 4:04:14
  And followed the continuing
• 4:04:16
  Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman trials
• 4:04:18
  And tribulations. Now you went downstairs
• 4:04:20
  Tell me about the feeling in the club house
• 4:04:22
  And what some of the guys were talking about
• 4:04:24
  And what was that?
• 4:04:26
  The high assignment with the AP was exactly that
• 4:04:28
  Now I have been
• 4:04:30
  At least 10 of these things
• 4:04:32
  Previously in other cities in many cases
• 4:04:34
  And I've been in Yankee once before
• 4:04:36
  In 1962 most of them
• 4:04:38
  15 years ago. This was different
• 4:04:40
  This meant something. Those players
• 4:04:42
  Had been through so much
• 4:04:44
  Mainly hacking at each other
• 4:04:46
  Hacking at the front office, the Billy Martin situation
• 4:04:48
  That finally winning
• 4:04:50
  Seemed to be
• 4:04:52
  Just much more than overcoming the dodges
• 4:04:54
  Greg Nettles put it this way
• 4:04:56
  He says winning cures a lot of problems
• 4:04:58
  But I don't want to go through another season like this
• 4:05:00
  Even if we win
• 4:05:02
  Gabe Paul
• 4:05:04
  Of course
• 4:05:06
  Acknowledged
• 4:05:08
  That the possibility
• 4:05:10
  Of Thurman Munson
• 4:05:12
  Leaving was there but he said
• 4:05:14
  You're not going to get away that easy
• 4:05:16
  And I see Gabe Paul here
• 4:05:18
  Right now so why don't we give
• 4:05:20
  Gabe a shot? Well boy we're very happy
• 4:05:22
  Mel Allen has brought in the two men that we wanted
• 4:05:24
  Most of all have been trying to get for the past
• 4:05:26
  Hour and a half that we've been on the air
• 4:05:28
  Mr. George Steinbrenner
• 4:05:30
  And Mr. Gabe Paul and you know we mentioned this
• 4:05:32
  With Robert Merrill
• 4:05:34
  With Representative Edward Koch
• 4:05:36
  With Boi Kuhn
• 4:05:38
  With your wife Mrs. Steinbrenner
• 4:05:40
  With Peter Duchin
• 4:05:42
  Of the turnaround that's been the New York Yankees
• 4:05:44
  Since you two gentlemen got here a few years ago
• 4:05:46
  And I know you couldn't be happy
• 4:05:48
  There's nothing I can say to make you happy
• 4:05:50
  Not only did you win and win the world's championship
• 4:05:52
  But it was achieved in the most dramatic fashion
• 4:05:54
  With Reggie Jackson being three homers on three pitches
• 4:05:56
  Chris Chambers sitting at two run home run
• 4:05:58
  To get us back on the ball game
• 4:06:00
  And there's nothing I can say I'm so happy
• 4:06:02
  For both of you, I really am
• 4:06:04
  Let me start off with Gabe
• 4:06:06
  I think it's Gabe's second experience
• 4:06:08
  Gabe congratulations first of all
• 4:06:10
  Thank you very much
• 4:06:12
  I want to say that great players rise to the occasion
• 4:06:14
  As Reggie did tonight
• 4:06:16
  The greater the player the more they rise to the occasion
• 4:06:18
  And he did
• 4:06:20
  Gabe I know you've been close
• 4:06:22
  Many times
• 4:06:24
  And
• 4:06:26
  Got the brass ring
• 4:06:28
  On one occasion, never his presence
• 4:06:30
  That's correct
• 4:06:32
  But
• 4:06:34
  Once when Cincinnati had
• 4:06:36
  221 homers
• 4:06:38
  They missed
• 4:06:40
  About two games that year
• 4:06:42
  And I know this must be in the half century
• 4:06:44
  Approximately
• 4:06:46
  Being connected to baseball from the time you started
• 4:06:48
  One of the greatest thrills I've ever had in my life
• 4:06:50
  Well, I could ask you a lot of questions
• 4:06:52
  But I'd love to know what's in your heart
• 4:06:54
  My heart is at a time
• 4:06:56
  I'm so glad for myself
• 4:06:58
  I'm so glad for George Steinbrunner
• 4:07:00
  I'll tell you
• 4:07:02
  I think George and I
• 4:07:04
  We
• 4:07:06
  Have a team
• 4:07:08
  I think really
• 4:07:10
  We compliment each other
• 4:07:12
  And we have a compatibility
• 4:07:14
  That has helped
• 4:07:16
  And he puts a burr up my tail
• 4:07:18
  Every now and then and I need it
• 4:07:20
  But he's got a red hot poker
• 4:07:22
  And you know something
• 4:07:24
  He's got that poker in the fire dial for next year
• 4:07:28
  But the thing is
• 4:07:30
  Certain doctors know how to use it
• 4:07:32
  And it doesn't hurt you
• 4:07:34
  In the end you went out
• 4:07:36
  I have no pain
• 4:07:38
  I got very lucky tonight
• 4:07:40
  New gentlemen don't know about it
• 4:07:42
  Very important to me
• 4:07:44
  The Nathan Islanders owner Roy Bow
• 4:07:46
  And their vice president Mike Manzer
• 4:07:48
  And Ed Bibinski and Mike Dietemasso
• 4:07:50
  Of Manchester Productions
• 4:07:52
  And the radio rights
• 4:07:54
  And my general manager Dennis Israel
• 4:07:56
  A program director Mark Mason
• 4:07:58
  Insisted that we not do
• 4:08:00
  The talking game on the network
• 4:08:02
  And they said do you have to go out there
• 4:08:04
  And I wouldn't have missed this for real
• 4:08:06
  I am so happy
• 4:08:08
  I don't tell you about the trials and tribulations
• 4:08:10
  But in your own words
• 4:08:12
  What do you feel now
• 4:08:14
  You've won the world's championship
• 4:08:16
  This is what you've been fighting for
• 4:08:18
  Since you got to New York
• 4:08:20
  And you've won the world's championship
• 4:08:22
  Back in the city
• 4:08:24
  George you give you the best answer
• 4:08:26
  About tomorrow afternoon
• 4:08:28
  When the dance is settled down
• 4:08:30
  I feel the same way
• 4:08:32
  The world's championship is now where it belongs
• 4:08:34
  In New York City
• 4:08:36
  And that's where it belongs
• 4:08:38
  And that's where it is
• 4:08:40
  And that's where it's going to stay for a long time
• 4:08:42
  That's all there is to it
• 4:08:44
  And the stadium was filled
• 4:08:46
  And the world was
• 4:08:48
  With representative Kotze
• 4:08:50
  A great night for baseball and great for the Yankees
• 4:08:52
  It is John
• 4:08:54
  I feel the same way
• 4:08:56
  It's great to be a part of it
• 4:08:58
  The credit goes to Gabe and Billy
• 4:09:00
  I came in the weekends to see the ball games
• 4:09:02
  But the credit goes to those two guys
• 4:09:04
  They did the job, they made the trades
• 4:09:06
  They got the people and they kept it going
• 4:09:08
  And the team never gave up
• 4:09:10
  It's so great for the American League
• 4:09:12
  But the biggest thing about it is how great it is for New York
• 4:09:14
  It just shows everybody
• 4:09:16
  It's a whole new world of champions
• 4:09:18
  And I've said it all along and I mean it
• 4:09:20
  It really is
• 4:09:22
  You know there have been knocks all the time about the Yankees
• 4:09:24
  Buying the championship
• 4:09:26
  Well first of all, the Free Asian thing is here
• 4:09:28
  If it wasn't here, we wouldn't be involved
• 4:09:30
  But since it's here, you might as well play by the rules
• 4:09:32
  Those are the rules so you're playing by them
• 4:09:34
  But, Gabe Paul Gattier
• 4:09:36
  George Steinberg and I was at that press conference that day
• 4:09:38
  The Yankees were not drawing crowds
• 4:09:40
  I've been here 5 and a half years
• 4:09:42
  The Yankees had a poor team and they weren't drawing crowds
• 4:09:44
  and the Mets were doing it all and bless them for it.
• 4:09:47
  Also Bill Shea was here and he was as happy as anyone else.
• 4:09:50
  Gaitball traded for Chris Chambliss.
• 4:09:52
  Gaitball traded for Greg Nettles.
• 4:09:54
  Gaitball traded for Willie Randolph.
• 4:09:56
  Glupin' Ella.
• 4:09:57
  Glupin' Ella, Mickey Rivers.
• 4:09:59
  On and on and on.
• 4:10:00
  And you really deserve all the credit in the world.
• 4:10:03
  Well, you don't do those things unless you have the backing
• 4:10:06
  and you can't take the risk unless you have a race
• 4:10:09
  around your pencil.
• 4:10:10
  And the backing was here and the stimulation,
• 4:10:13
  as I talked about, that red hot poker was right here.
• 4:10:17
  And that's the teamwork and that's what you need.
• 4:10:20
  Because you can sit on your duff a little bit
• 4:10:23
  at a little bit of a time, but I never
• 4:10:25
  have a chance to sit on my duff hot.
• 4:10:28
  Me here at 830 a moment.
• 4:10:30
  George, can I say one thing in my personal standpoint?
• 4:10:34
  I had to have a man of his stature remind me
• 4:10:37
  that we had met once, two years ago,
• 4:10:39
  when he was football assistant football coach at Purdue.
• 4:10:43
  And this past season, somebody lacking a column
• 4:10:49
  for an open date called me up and went to a column.
• 4:10:54
  My whole point was, as part of it,
• 4:10:56
  was about the very thing you mentioned.
• 4:10:58
  But I said, well, I can say one thing about George Steinbrenner.
• 4:11:02
  I said, I first met him when he was assistant football coach
• 4:11:05
  at Purdue, later Northwestern.
• 4:11:08
  And I said, he's used to recruiting.
• 4:11:11
  I said, how you recruit, you recruit according to the rules.
• 4:11:14
  But the rules are this way.
• 4:11:16
  And so he's used to recruiting to win.
• 4:11:19
  And there's nothing wrong with that.
• 4:11:20
  I say there isn't, too.
• 4:11:21
  And what I should tell you about that time
• 4:11:23
  was I was between coaching jobs.
• 4:11:26
  I wanted to go into sports casting.
• 4:11:27
  Somebody says, why don't you call Mel Allen?
• 4:11:29
  I said, he wouldn't know me from anything.
• 4:11:30
  I was a 22-year-old kid.
• 4:11:31
  And Mel talked to me for 45 minutes on the telephone.
• 4:11:34
  Didn't know me from Eve.
• 4:11:34
  I never forgot it.
• 4:11:35
  And I remind him of when I saw him.
• 4:11:37
  And that kind of consideration for a young guy
• 4:11:39
  is why you're what you are, Mel.
• 4:11:40
  Well, I appreciate it.
• 4:11:41
  I don't want to see a living legend that makes this
• 4:11:43
  not a picture.
• 4:11:44
  You're ready to be.
• 4:11:45
  I want to say somebody's father.
• 4:11:47
  His father, Henry Steinbrenner.
• 4:11:49
  I met his mother and father here.
• 4:11:51
  His father was the greatest track star in the history of MIT.
• 4:11:55
  And how do I know that?
• 4:11:56
  My brother went to MIT.
• 4:11:58
  And he said, is Henry Steinbrenner
• 4:12:01
  any relation to George Steinbrenner?
• 4:12:03
  And I said, his father.
• 4:12:04
  He says, is the only track star we've ever
• 4:12:07
  had in the history of MIT?
• 4:12:08
  Only NCAA champion.
• 4:12:09
  He won the lower.
• 4:12:11
  Well, thanks for having us, John.
• 4:12:13
  I listen to you every night going home and everything.
• 4:12:16
  And coming.
• 4:12:17
  And you've been a great, great boost to us.
• 4:12:19
  And you've stuck with us.
• 4:12:20
  And the fans out there that would call.
• 4:12:23
  And I'm so happy for the fans in New York.
• 4:12:25
  Those people that take the time to call and express their views
• 4:12:28
  and tell you when you're right, tell you when you're wrong.
• 4:12:30
  But they never gave up on the team.
• 4:12:31
  And they're the guys that deserve the credit.
• 4:12:33
  You know, the commissioner of baseball,
• 4:12:35
  I put him to the test.
• 4:12:36
  Well, I have only time.
• 4:12:37
  I don't like to get the controversial deliberately.
• 4:12:39
  So I said, you know, and Gene Michaels was in here.
• 4:12:42
  He was saying, tell you.
• 4:12:44
  And John, you tell him, I said, you know, you and George
• 4:12:47
  Steinbrenner have had your ups and downs.
• 4:12:49
  That is disagreements.
• 4:12:51
  What did he say, John?
• 4:12:52
  He said, yes, but we're still friends.
• 4:12:54
  And that's the greatness of baseball.
• 4:12:55
  And what we've done is for the good of baseball.
• 4:12:57
  I said, whether we agree or whether we don't agree.
• 4:12:59
  We've got a good commissioner.
• 4:13:00
  And I said, a time and time again the last year.
• 4:13:02
  And we have a good commissioner.
• 4:13:03
  And we should be damn happy to have him.
• 4:13:05
  And you know what we also said, which is really true,
• 4:13:07
  that you go over all the years.
• 4:13:08
  This baseball is about a year.
• 4:13:10
  Great crowds in all cities, not just some cities.
• 4:13:13
  And the American League, oh, as the American League came up
• 4:13:15
  with the two great cities, Seattle and Toronto.
• 4:13:18
  Well, you've come here and you built a champion.
• 4:13:19
  And I congratulate you.
• 4:13:20
  WMCA congratulates you.
• 4:13:22
  We're so happy you're such a big part of the station.
• 4:13:24
  We thank you very much.
• 4:13:25
  We be grateful.
• 4:13:26
  Thank you for all the help you've given us all year.
• 4:13:28
  And to the fans out there that take the time to call,
• 4:13:30
  thanks to them.
• 4:13:31
  They deserve the credit.
• 4:13:32
  And before you know, whether all this happened all year,
• 4:13:37
  you can have written a script.
• 4:13:39
  And you've been in show business.
• 4:13:41
  They're late by you, Jackson, to buy.
• 4:13:43
  Nobody would buy this script.
• 4:13:44
  They tried to sell it for a movie.
• 4:13:45
  Nobody.
• 4:13:45
  You can do it.
• 4:13:46
  Impossible.
• 4:13:47
  Thanks for your real home run.
• 4:13:49
  We're going to need Chinese jobs.
• 4:13:50
  Thanks so much for coming in.
• 4:13:53
  That's great.
• 4:13:54
  We have eight minutes or so to chat with each other.
• 4:13:59
  I'm so happy you've gotten, Mr. Steinberg.
• 4:14:00
  You know, I wish we didn't have any more minutes left
• 4:14:02
  for the sembraries.
• 4:14:03
  I think I topped off the evening.
• 4:14:06
  I mean, you know, two guys that really were, you know.
• 4:14:10
  You know, when you were talking to Gabe,
• 4:14:12
  I want to tell you this.
• 4:14:13
  Yeah.
• 4:14:14
  You're talking to Gabe on Mike.
• 4:14:17
  And off Mike, George Steinberg came to me and said,
• 4:14:19
  you know, John, I ran into a guy downstairs in television.
• 4:14:25
  He said to me, talking to George Steinberg,
• 4:14:27
  said, you know, if I got a Hollywood script writer
• 4:14:31
  to write a movie, you know, in those corny baseball movies,
• 4:14:35
  you're usually announcing it, by the way.
• 4:14:36
  Yeah.
• 4:14:37
  Like the Babe Ruth story.
• 4:14:39
  You know, the great Mel Allen line,
• 4:14:41
  he had to announce in the corny Babe Ruth movie in 1948.
• 4:14:44
  And he was announcing the home runs of Babe Ruth
• 4:14:46
  and Mel said, you know, I was three years old at the time.
• 4:14:48
  Yeah.
• 4:14:49
  But anyway.
• 4:14:49
  Well, that was what the critic did in reviewing the movie.
• 4:14:52
  He said, you know, it makes no sense to me going into,
• 4:14:54
  you know, a whole two column review or a one column review.
• 4:14:59
  Let me just put it this way.
• 4:15:00
  They had Mel Allen describing Babe Ruth's 60th home run
• 4:15:03
  in 1927 when he was just three years old.
• 4:15:07
  That gave you an idea of the rest of the picture.
• 4:15:10
  But you know, he said to me off Mike again, he said,
• 4:15:13
  he said, this guy TV guy came to me and said, you know,
• 4:15:15
  if I had a Hollywood script writer to write this,
• 4:15:17
  the world championship game, the guy who's been in the center
• 4:15:23
  of this unbelievable maelstrom of controversy hitting three
• 4:15:27
  over his bang, bang, bang, the third one in the center field.
• 4:15:31
  These were no one hits one.
• 4:15:32
  It went halfway back, by the way, off a knuckleball.
• 4:15:34
  The only guy that ever hit one over the old fence
• 4:15:37
  was Mickey Mantle batting right handed
• 4:15:40
  against the left hand pitcher.
• 4:15:43
  And so this is, you know, very similar.
• 4:15:45
  No one would ever believe it.
• 4:15:47
  No one would believe it.
• 4:15:48
  And you know what?
• 4:15:48
  We were here.
• 4:15:49
  We believe it.
• 4:15:50
  Well, you know, you and I are now together two seasons
• 4:15:52
  and we've seen two things happen.
• 4:15:56
  Chambliss is home running won the playoffs last year
• 4:15:58
  in the ninth inning.
• 4:16:00
  And this dramatic thing today, dramatic in this sense,
• 4:16:03
  not because of the team victory alone.
• 4:16:07
  But like you put it so well before, all the maelstrom
• 4:16:12
  you use that word, controversy, headlines
• 4:16:15
  and newspapers on the air, all this sort of thing.
• 4:16:18
  And who comes up wondering whether people
• 4:16:22
  loved him or not, but Reggie Jackson.
• 4:16:24
  I think he found out that people loved him
• 4:16:26
  because they finally made him come out.
• 4:16:27
  He took a bow after an ovation, right?
• 4:16:31
  It was an amazing year.
• 4:16:32
  I've been through some amazing world series and playoffs,
• 4:16:35
  but nothing has compared quite with this in view of what
• 4:16:39
  started in spring training with the Mickey Rivers.
• 4:16:42
  Then came right on through with a bunch of other guys.
• 4:16:45
  It also shows you that you can talk all you want about what
• 4:16:49
  happens off the field.
• 4:16:50
  Can we get Bob Fischelin for a moment?
• 4:16:52
  Yeah, I asked Bob before you said it.
• 4:16:53
  Can we get Bob Fischelin?
• 4:16:54
  He'd talk about what happens off the field
• 4:16:58
  in the newspapers, radio, TV, whatever.
• 4:17:01
  And everyone has their job to do.
• 4:17:03
  And everyone has to talk.
• 4:17:04
  But what goes on in baseball is what
• 4:17:07
  goes on between the two white lines.
• 4:17:11
  And what goes on between the two white lines
• 4:17:15
  has made the Yankees champion.
• 4:17:17
  Here is a gentleman who worked with Mel Allen
• 4:17:20
  so many years as the PR director of the Yankees
• 4:17:22
  is now assistant to the commissioner.
• 4:17:23
  We have a commissioner on, by the way,
• 4:17:25
  among many of the luminaries.
• 4:17:27
  And a good friend of mine, Bob Fischelin.
• 4:17:29
  Thanks, John, but that's the wrong title.
• 4:17:30
  I'm assistant to the president of the American League.
• 4:17:32
  This is the president of the American League.
• 4:17:33
  I'm sorry.
• 4:17:35
  You've seen so many world series and all,
• 4:17:37
  but this final game was such a kick because of the dramatics.
• 4:17:41
  It sure was.
• 4:17:42
  I've always seen it.
• 4:17:42
  We've all seen an awful lot of dramatics.
• 4:17:44
  This is the greatest show in sports.
• 4:17:46
  What do we have in the front of the media guide?
• 4:17:48
  We have something about America's premier sports event.
• 4:17:50
  That's sort of a dramatic way of putting it.
• 4:17:52
  But that's what it really is.
• 4:17:54
  You never can tell what's going to happen in this game.
• 4:17:55
  And that's what makes baseball such a fantastic ball game.
• 4:17:58
  Who would believe that the center of all the controversy
• 4:18:00
  would hit three home runs on three pitches.
• 4:18:02
  The final one off a knuckleball, I guess, low outside.
• 4:18:05
  He hit it about 450 feet in the centerfield bleaches.
• 4:18:08
  That's all.
• 4:18:09
  It was exciting.
• 4:18:10
  As a matter of fact, I didn't see it.
• 4:18:11
  I was already down in the interview room
• 4:18:12
  and heard about it after I got there.
• 4:18:14
  I saw the first two.
• 4:18:15
  But it was a super series.
• 4:18:17
  And it's a great thing for the Yankees, a great thing for New
• 4:18:18
  York and Uber for the American League to have a.
• 4:18:21
  I sat next to your boss, Lee McFail,
• 4:18:24
  at the baseball writers' dinner in January.
• 4:18:26
  And I asked him about the two cities, Seattle and Toronto,
• 4:18:28
  coming in and what they'd be like.
• 4:18:32
  He had great reports about it.
• 4:18:34
  Well, this year, Bob Fishel was the greatest year
• 4:18:36
  in American League history.
• 4:18:37
  You broke all attendance records.
• 4:18:39
  You brought in two cities that were two fabulous cities.
• 4:18:42
  Toronto almost drew to me.
• 4:18:43
  And Seattle way over a million.
• 4:18:45
  And now you've won the American League once again,
• 4:18:48
  has won the World's Championship for the fourth time
• 4:18:50
  in the last six years.
• 4:18:51
  You have to be very happy.
• 4:18:52
  We're very happy.
• 4:18:53
  And we do 19,650,000 fans from coast to coast.
• 4:18:56
  It was really a sensational year.
• 4:18:58
  We had the only week spot.
• 4:19:00
  Really, the whole league was open.
• 4:19:01
  And there were extenuating circumstances there.
• 4:19:03
  So it was a super year, John.
• 4:19:04
  It was just great.
• 4:19:06
  It's just really thrilling.
• 4:19:07
  I'm not part of it because after all,
• 4:19:09
  we're just working in the office for the league,
• 4:19:10
  but supporting all the clubs.
• 4:19:12
  But the Yankees did a tremendous job.
• 4:19:14
  The Red Sox in Kansas City and Baltimore
• 4:19:16
  also had tremendous years.
• 4:19:17
  He had a lot of other clubs.
• 4:19:18
  I interrupt here for a moment.
• 4:19:20
  He said he had nothing to do with it.
• 4:19:22
  He had a lot to do with it because it was a build up.
• 4:19:25
  Bob came here.
• 4:19:29
  It was a Bob 1954.
• 4:19:32
  And the great tradition that was continued in for a while,
• 4:19:36
  it wasn't.
• 4:19:37
  And that was because of extenuating circumstances.
• 4:19:39
  But Bob, if he, I don't know if he's able to say it
• 4:19:44
  from a given standpoint or not, but you
• 4:19:47
  can't work for this organization over a number of years
• 4:19:51
  without having that tradition embedded within you
• 4:19:55
  and not feeling.
• 4:19:56
  Well, certainly.
• 4:19:57
  I came here and we won nine tennis in our first 10 years
• 4:20:00
  here.
• 4:20:00
  You can never forget that.
• 4:20:01
  If you lived to be 1,000 years old, which we know as well.
• 4:20:03
  But nine and 10 is, nobody will ever have that in sports.
• 4:20:06
  It was a tremendous thing.
• 4:20:07
  Well, you and Jordan renewed this tradition
• 4:20:09
  was a great thing.
• 4:20:11
  Bob is close to General Manager and President of the Yankees,
• 4:20:17
  George Wison, and Lee McFail.
• 4:20:19
  And he knew what it took to win pennants.
• 4:20:22
  It took more than just organization.
• 4:20:24
  There's a great sports track.
• 4:20:25
  He wants to talk to Mary.
• 4:20:26
  All right.
• 4:20:27
  Bob, thank you very much.
• 4:20:28
  Thank you.
• 4:20:28
  Appreciate it.
• 4:20:29
  Well, we're going to get off because it's time.
• 4:20:31
  And Long John Neville, Candy Jones, are going to go on.
• 4:20:37
  And I just want to again thank all the people who
• 4:20:40
  helped us cover this.
• 4:20:41
  And now WMCA will, after winning this championship,
• 4:20:45
  will hope to get championships in hockey and basketball.
• 4:20:48
  Hockey season has begun.
• 4:20:50
  And the New York Nets will begin their quest
• 4:20:55
  for the playoffs.
• 4:20:56
  So this Friday night at the Rutgers Athletic Center
• 4:21:00
  in Piscataway, New Jersey, we look for you there.
• 4:21:02
  They'll play the New Orleans Jazz with Pete Marovitch,
• 4:21:06
  Chuck Robinson at all.
• 4:21:08
  Tickets are available.
• 4:21:09
  The ticket try and charge it.
• 4:21:10
  All the athletics at a box office.
• 4:21:11
  And for season tickets, please call 201-935-8888.
• 4:21:16
  201-935-8888.
• 4:21:18
  We only have a couple more minutes.
• 4:21:20
  And we better get off before we do.
• 4:21:24
  And very quickly, and this is not going to be mushy,
• 4:21:25
  I promise you.
• 4:21:28
  When I first met you, off the air,
• 4:21:30
  I told you that you were my hero.
• 4:21:33
  And that's a bit mushy in itself.
• 4:21:36
  But anyway, I always looked up to you,
• 4:21:38
  and I'm so glad I can work with you.
• 4:21:39
  We've become good buddies here.
• 4:21:40
  And I thank you, Mel.
• 4:21:41
  We had a lot of fun together.
• 4:21:42
  And right here in this year, both.
• 4:21:44
  It's been great.
• 4:21:45
  We'll see you back here next year, huh?
• 4:21:47
  We're the only two guys on Oregon
• 4:21:48
  to step on each other's toes and not feet.
• 4:21:51
  Not at all.
• 4:21:52
  Not at all.
• 4:21:53
  And I might add something that the management and the staff
• 4:21:59
  of WMCA Radio, the flagship station of the New York Yankees
• 4:22:02
  radio network, wishes to congratulate George Steinbrenner,
• 4:22:06
  Gay Paul, Billy Martin, and the entire team of the New York
• 4:22:10
  Yankees on their World Series victory.
• 4:22:12
  WMCA has carried the Yankees for the past seven years.
• 4:22:16
  And can hardly wait for next season to begin.
• 4:22:19
  The Yankees, and George Steinbrenner
• 4:22:22
  said this a moment ago.
• 4:22:23
  It's what's made him the happiest.
• 4:22:25
  The Yankees have brought the World Championship of Baseball
• 4:22:27
  back to New York.
• 4:22:29
  WMCA is proud to have brought you all the action.
• 4:22:33
  Well, I'm really proud to be part of it.
• 4:22:35
  It's a very small part, I know.
• 4:22:36
  But I'm very proud that I could join probably
• 4:22:40
  the foremost sportscaster in the 20th century
• 4:22:42
  in this country, Mel Allen, and bring you all these shows.
• 4:22:44
  And that sounds like a lot of bull, and it really isn't.
• 4:22:47
  You think about it.
• 4:22:48
  He's been the number one guy and still is.
• 4:22:50
  How it depends which part of the bull you're talking about.
• 4:22:52
  That's free-save for him.
• 4:22:54
  And by the way, Mel, both be credits.
• 4:22:56
  Right.
• 4:22:57
  The most game World Series Championship program
• 4:23:01
  has been brought to you by Crazy Eddie.
• 4:23:03
  His prices are insane.
• 4:23:04
  There are about a million people in the Bronx
• 4:23:05
  who are a little bit insane with his great Yankee win.
• 4:23:07
  And by Coyzar Quality TV.
• 4:23:09
  And our thanks also to Mr. Herve Buffalo Broski
• 4:23:12
  who's done a great job here in coordinating all these events.
• 4:23:14
  We've been streaking out.
• 4:23:15
  He's been streaking out all the whole time.
• 4:23:17
  We've been streaking off in different areas.
• 4:23:19
  And let's see now.
• 4:23:22
  Yeah, it's about 1230 at WMCA.
• 4:23:25
  Strongest communications in New York, real people radio.
• 4:23:27
  And don't forget the salmon soup and the lemon cream pie.
• 4:23:30
  The salmon soup and the lemon cream pie.
• 4:23:31
  And by the way, we'll talk about it tomorrow.
• 4:23:34
  I'll be on the air right after the 7 o'clock news.
• 4:23:36
  We hope to replay some of the home runs tomorrow night
• 4:23:38
  as well.
• 4:23:39
  And we'll talk at length about it.
• 4:23:41
  So what more can I say?
• 4:23:43
  I love you all.
• 4:23:44
  And I'm glad you've been listening.
• 4:23:46
  And we've enjoyed bringing it to you.
• 4:23:48
  And we'll see you tomorrow night after the 7 o'clock news.
• 4:23:50
  Stay tuned in progress with the Long John Neville Candy
• 4:23:54
  Jones program here on WMCA and have a good championship
• 4:23:57
  night, everybody.
• 4:23:58
  Five, eight, seven, eight, three, two, one.
• 4:24:05
  Here comes the Yankee.
• 4:24:07
  Let's get behind the chiller.
• 4:24:10
  Yankee.
• 4:24:11
  They're gonna learn to feel it.
• 4:24:13
  Yankee.
• 4:24:15
  Everyone knows they play the way.
• 4:24:17
  Parched, they're going to be on it.
• 4:24:21
  Yankee.
• 4:24:22
  They're gonna take fire.
• 4:24:25
  Yankee.
• 4:24:26
  They're gonna run away when you're done.
• 4:24:28
  Yankee.
• 4:24:30
  Why do you say to me when I'm ready to fall again?
• 4:24:35
  They're gonna shout when you're out of the ball.
• 4:24:38
  They're gonna scream, put it out of the wall.
• 4:24:42
  They are the team, out of nowhere.
• 4:24:44
  They're gonna play the way.
• 4:24:47
  Parched, they're going to be on it.
• 4:24:49
  Yankee.
• 4:24:50
  They're gonna run away when you're done.
• 4:24:51
  Yankee.
• 4:24:52
  Shout it out loud, we love the game.
• 4:24:54
  Yankee.
• 4:24:55
  We're really proud of our Yankee.
• 4:24:59
  We're really proud of our Yankee.
• 4:25:01
  When we run away, we're gonna take the big ball.
• 4:25:04
  Hit, punch, punch, punch, punch, punch, punch, punch, punch.
• 4:25:06
  Go, go, go, go.
• 4:25:20
  They're gonna shout when you're out of the ball.
• 4:25:24
  They got a scream, put it on the volume
• 4:25:28
  The other team's gonna know what it is
• 4:25:31
  They don't mind, they can't believe it
• 4:25:35
  Yes, we got one, Yankee
• 4:25:38
  Count it up loud, we love them
• 4:25:40
  Yankee, we're really proud of our Yankee
• 4:25:45
  And we wanna win, new day
• 4:25:49
  Y, A, N, K, E, E, N, E, Y, A, N
