  The St. Louis Cardinals visited the New York Mets at Shea Stadium for a Sunday doubleheader on August 22nd, 1965.
• 0:14
  The Cardinals were struggling to defend their World Series title from 1964 under new manager Red Shandiest.
• 0:19
  They entered this game deep within the NOS, in seventh place, 12 games behind the league-leading Dodgers.
• 0:25
  The Mets, of course, were even worse, 34 games back and in last place for the fourth straight season.
• 0:30
  They were managed by Wes Westrom, who took over midseason after the departure of Casey Stengel.
• 0:35
  This audio recording is from Game 2 of the doubleheader featuring New York announcers Ralph Keiner, Bob Murphy, and Lindsey Nelson.
• 1:05
  The other Sunday, Bridges, when it's their warm up, right now, here's a very sad French-Canadian song about a fellow who lost the key of his player.
• 1:14
  The song is a song with the kind of humor French-Canadians love, but one song leads to another, and the first that follows is no laughing matter.
• 1:37
  The song is a song with the kind of humor French-Canadians love, but one song leads to another, and the first that follows is no laughing matter.
• 1:48
  From Humpty-Coo is what they'll sing as they reach for a beer, probably Rheingoldex to dry.
• 1:55
  In fact, in New York City, where there are more different kinds of people than in any other city in the world, more people drink Rheingold than any other beer.
• 2:04
  Why do French-Canadians like Rheingold? We don't know, but we must be doing something right.
• 2:20
  The New York Mets have taken the field. Here are the starting lineups. Paul DeMess, Ron Nutt, leading off and playing second base. Roy McMillan, in short stop batting second. Chuck Giller, in third base, batting third.
• 2:35
  The New York Mets have been taken out of the double header. Batting fourth, Jenny Lewis in center field. Ron Favota batting fifth in left field. That's Grain Bull in first base, batting sixth. Chuck Christopher in right field, batting seventh. That's Ketchard Crispkin with barrel batting eighth. And Devlin Grau, the pitcher, batting ninth.
• 2:52
  Now the Cardinals, New Brock, will lead off and play left field. Dick Grohl, in short stop, batting second. Kirk Fudd, in center field, batting third. Ken Boyer, in third base, in the cleanup position. Bill White, in first base, batting fifth. Bill Gadmierno, playing second base and batting sixth.
• 3:08
  Jim McCarver, the catcher, batting seventh. Mike Shannon in right field, batting eighth. And Ray Walsh, for the pitcher, batting ninth. The Mets are winning the first game, some of the five, with a 5-1 rally in the bottom half of the eighth inning.
• 3:23
  Now have taken the lead in the series, a four game series, by a 2-1 margin, and this is the final game and final meeting between the Cardinals and Mets here at J Stadium. Mets are winning.
• 3:40
  Winning the 38th ball game, they have lost 35. The same old Cardinals now have a record of 60 and 64. The first bid of New Brock steps in the batter's box.
• 4:02
  New Brock, a left-hand batter, hitting a 2-85. And the first pitch from the left-hander, Doug McGraw, is high at ball one. McGraw starting off with a high-fat ball.
• 4:13
  For Doug McGraw, this is his 30th appearance. He has an 0-1-2 record. He has bid 42 and one third eddy. This is his second start. He comes back with a curve that's now low and has two balls, no strikes.
• 4:31
  Two balls, no strikes from New Brock. New was 11 all-mars and 51 runs battered in so far this year. 50 total bases.
• 4:46
  And the left-hand batter gets the curve ball again. This one's in the strikes. They're on a call strike.
• 4:57
  New Brock in the first ball game had a very important double, a bad-hot double that gave the Cardinals a chance to take the lead 3-2.
• 5:05
  It's back to him as low and it's ball three. Three balls, one strike.
• 5:10
  The Cardinals added two more runs after the three scored in the seventh to make it a five-two ball game. But the Mets came back in the bottom half of the eighth to score five and win it seven to five.
• 5:23
  They sit for Brock in the ball game. The double players, one for five in the first game is five for 15 in the series.
• 5:30
  And the three-one pitches inside in high ball form. Brock gets first base three.
• 5:40
  Now the Cardinals right off after a top baserunner on a third base with Nolan Hawn and Dick Grove coming up.
• 5:53
  Dick has three hits in the first game. Three for five. Five for 13 in the series and is averaged up to 262 in all runs and 42 runs battered in.
• 6:09
  McGraw looking at first in the first pitches in a fast ball and on the fifth he had Brock going back to first.
• 6:24
  McGraw taking the signs from Chris Candidale. The Mets have Eddie Crane for the first base.
• 6:29
  Ron Hunt at second base, Rod McMillan at shortstop and Chuck Keller at third. Outfielder Ron Favotta, Johnny Lewis and Joe Christopher left or right.
• 6:39
  And a throw to first base to Brock back easily. A throw almost getting away from Crane Ball.
• 6:57
  McGraw now taking time to wipe the perspiration off.
• 7:03
  And Candidale down with a new set of signs. Dick Grove deep in the batter's box.
• 7:12
  One strike out. The pitch back to the plate is just foul off to the right side. Strike two.
• 7:32
  Pumpires in the game today. They wire behind the plate. John Kipper in first base. Frank Nicori at second base and Ken Burkhart at third.
• 7:43
  Pumpires in their respective positions. Two strike out of Dick Grove. Going up at the start of the second ball game.
• 7:51
  Brock Edging off at first base. McGraw looking there coming to the plate and the pitch is a curve inside. One ball, two strikes. High curve ball moving road away from the plate.
• 8:03
  Just a very light drizzle. Balling here at Jake Stadium.
• 8:15
  One ball, two strikes. McGraw working slowly now. Stepping on top of the 50 rubber. Brock Edging off at first.
• 8:23
  And the next pitch is a curve ball. It's in there. Strike three. High curve ball and Brock holding his first base with Dick Grove arguing strongly with Lee Wiles.
• 8:32
  Don't say the pitch was too high. And this is a fear of an argument. Now Red Janey says Joe Frode coming down to take Grove away and keep him in the ball game. Lee Wiles following.
• 8:45
  Going away and saying something right back to him.
• 8:52
  Red Janey is taking Grove away. He wants to keep him in the ball game. So Johnny goes back to the third base country box.
• 9:07
  And the man of merit carried up a skirt flood.
• 9:16
  A walk and a strike shot so far in the game for Chuck McGraw. He takes on skirt flooders batting 295. A right hand batter.
• 9:24
  And the first pitch is Bob Ty in the air. Ron Ritz going out into shallow right field backpedaling. Behind him is Joe Christopher but Ron makes the call and makes the guess.
• 9:34
  Going back to first base is Lou Brock. It's a mess out there. Second out here in the top of the first.
• 9:44
  Now the batter will be the third base for Ken Boyer.
• 9:59
  Boyer in the first ball game was 0 for 2. He had two walks to go along.
• 10:12
  Right hand batter hitting at 264. Ken with 11 home runs and 63 runs better. He got his 11th home run in this series.
• 10:21
  Now Brock at first base. And the pitch is Bob Ty in the air.
• 10:26
  A catcher Chris Cantadil on foul territory. Back of home plate. Waiting to hit his guess and that we found a sign.
• 10:33
  Outside McGraw goes through the first day giving up no runs, no hits. There was no air. The walk and the man left arm and the score at the end of 1 1⁄2-8.
• 10:42
  The car is no. 17. The New York Mets coming up. Right now it works for Cool Silver Jays.
• 10:54
  The security up needs glasses. You could say it was a bomb. And your cigarette needs something. No taste to it at all.
• 11:08
  It's time you changed to cool. Your cigarette's not tasting cold enough till you come up to cool.
• 11:18
  With rich tobacco, cool white filter, extra cool. Discover extra coolness in your smoke. Let cool come through for you.
• 11:30
  Discover the extra coolness. The refreshing taste of cool. You'll be smoking cool all the time once you come up to cool.
• 11:42
  Come all the way up to cool and taste the most refreshing coolness you can get in any cigarette. Smoke cool, filter king.
• 11:52
  It's the bottom half of the first. The drizzle continues here at Jay Stadium. The car goes out on the top of the first with no runs. Now the Mets going to try again for Ray Walsh first.
• 12:13
  Before making his 24th appearance, he has a record of eight wins and nine losses. This is his 14th start.
• 12:22
  Don Whitehander has been bothered by arm trouble throughout his career.
• 12:34
  Ron Hutch, getting his gear as he's introduced to the fans. Ron had a big first game, a three for five game. He is now fourth to 12 in the series and that has raised his average up to 231.
• 12:48
  And Walshburn, a right-hander with a spurt pitch, a fast ball in for a golf strike.
• 13:04
  The catcher, Tim McArthur, sending the sides out to the mound. Walshburn taking a long read. Now on the mound, into the windup at his one strike delivery, his hit hard in the hole, going over Zick Gross, the backhand, and the long throw to first base is wide.
• 13:21
  Ron Hutch outstayed down to first and it's going to be a base hit. Ron getting a four-pitch. And this double-hander that brings up Roy McMillan.
• 13:36
  That is the first hit of the game. Roy McMillan stepping in. Roy batting 243 in the first ball game. He had two sacrifices, drove in the run, bought out the right field. One for two.
• 14:04
  Two for 10 in the series.
• 14:08
  Now Walshburn in the set position. Now look at first, his first pitch is a pitch out. Ron was not going. Roy McMillan had moved out to get in a sacrifice running position. One ball, no strikes.
• 14:29
  No score in the game, the Mets batting with no one out in the bottom half of the first. Mets winning the first game, seven to five. Now a front-to-first base.
• 14:37
  Joe White picks it up, looks at second, goes over to first base and takes. There's Bill Gagliano covered there.
• 14:44
  So Roy McMillan with his third sacrifice punch on the double-hander moving Roy McMillan down to second. And that brings up Chuck Dillard. Chuck is playing at third base in place of Johnny Smith who was hit by a fifth ball in the first ball game.
• 14:59
  Now he was hit right above the left elbow. He is being taken now to the hospital for x-rays. He did quite a bit of pain but they do not figure that there is a possibility of a broken bone although they're taking precautionary measures to make sure.
• 15:18
  Chuck Dillard left hand batter. Chuck batted 249 and he takes the pitch inside for ball one. Chuck was in the first game and the pitch hitter and struck out. He batted later on and also struck out so he is 0 for 2.
• 15:43
  One ball, no strikes. Washburn back and the pitch is fouled off. Out of play and the count is 1-1. Rain is coming down here at J City in a very steady drizzle.
• 15:54
  Umbrellas spread out too out the stands. It almost looks like a football crowd. The Dodgers go to run for Sandy Goldfax in the top of the first.
• 16:04
  They're batting against Juan Marical and now the Giants will try their turn in the bottom half of the first. Dodgers in here for 4-9 games starting tomorrow night. The Giants right after that for Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday's day game.
• 16:22
  One ball, one strike. Ron Hunt at second base. And the next pitch to Chuck Dillard is at the right field, right center field. Only forward is Mike Shannon and he makes the catch. Ron Hunt half way down has to hustle back to second base.
• 16:38
  Throw in the second base right on the line as Shannon threw in to Bill Gagliato covering there. So with two away the batter will be Johnny Lure.
• 16:59
  Johnny with a base hit in the eighth inning, a big one to start a rally for the Mets when they throw in their five to win. He was one for four in the first game and that base hit his first hit in this series.
• 17:11
  Left hand batter hitting that 2-47. He takes a curve way inside. A good play on it by McCarver at ball one.
• 17:24
  One ball, no strikes. Giants are out in the bottom half of the first so the Dodgers lead 1-0 after one. Go fast against Juan Marical.
• 17:34
  One open to Louis the high curve and it's outside too so it's ball two. Two balls, no strikes.
• 17:42
  No score on the Mets with the runner at second base with two out in the bottom half of the first.
• 18:04
  McFern sets again and it's picked back to Louis and taken a fat ball at the knees on the inside corner and Tim McCarver dropped the ball. He had some trouble catching it.
• 18:14
  Could have been crossed up. Ray Walsh for him. 27 years of age, 6'2", 200 pounds. Born in Pasco, Washington.
• 18:26
  Died in Burbank, Washington. Signed for about $60,000. Last year he was three and four with the Cardinals.
• 18:35
  Bothered by arms up. He also fits in the minors at Jacksonville. He was one and oh two game.
• 18:46
  First year of pro ball in 1960. Now he sets again and his 2-1 delivery has taken loan and ball three. Three balls, one strike.
• 19:02
  In 1963 Walshburn got off to a five-up in the start and he let the league at everything. That came up with a slow runner.
• 19:16
  Later on that year he was sent to Chelsea to try and work it out. He's been bothered ever since.
• 19:24
  Three balls, one strike on Johnny Lewis. Brown's football on deck and the swing at a curve ball strikes two. Curve ball in tight. Lewis right over the top.
• 19:35
  Two men out. We're in the bottom half of first. That's where the base runner's second base notes go on.
• 19:43
  At the end of the first half of the NFL extra-victory game, the N.S. 7 with dealer seven.
• 19:54
  Now Tangel at MacArthur slots out to the picking round.
• 20:01
  Tangel's got a base runner in the first to walk to Lueb Rock but he was left at first base as Dick Rhoades struck out and third foot popped to second and Ken Boyer popped to the catcher for Catta-0.
• 20:18
  Dick Stewart has done a whole run in the eighth inning for the Philadelphia Phillies to put them in front by throwing out six to five.
• 20:27
  Good money still picking up for Philadelphia even to start it. Roger Craig. This one was a chance for the whole thing coming off of Roger Craig.
• 20:38
  Phillies leading six to five over Cincinnati as they bat in the bottom half of the eighth.
• 20:45
  Now time is in and it's three to the big ball and it's drive ball four.
• 20:52
  That's what Johnny Miller at the first base. The one with Ron Hunter who is that second base to bring up Ron Sloboda.
• 21:09
  Ron has two hits and three times up at the first ball game in the first inning over the first and first.
• 21:22
  The first six to the right hand batter is a breaking victim Lane and ball one. Ron batting to 32 with his duper three in the first ball game. He has 18 home runs that face the cross and he has 22 runs to bat it in.
• 21:41
  The second five is a third against Chicago. It's one all-fifth. It's bound over the half of the third. And it's one ball and one strike.
• 22:06
  On to the second base. Kenny Lewis is first. Two minutes away in the bottom half of the first. No score.
• 22:15
  The next pitch is a fastball over the outside corner. Ray Washburn has Murray three feet back. He pushes the ball away. Also has a really good spot in it. His arm the main problem.
• 22:38
  That's where he won. That's it for about three days. Now one-two. Third ball sweeping outside. Two balls, two strikes.
• 22:51
  The Cardinals bothered by lack of unlined pitching. It has really shown up on their record. They are 16-64. All games under 500.
• 23:11
  18 and 19 since the All-Star break. Now six slider outside. Three balls, two strikes. Now to get Ron and Kenny Lewis a chance to start out on the bases.
• 23:35
  They're all slacking off a little bit, okay? In two, the runners go. The pitch is on. It's now through the middle of base six.
• 23:45
  The second base is Ron. Going to third base is Johnny Lewis and Mark Pomoda with a third hit of a double header. The second sub batter is a double header. The next wave one and up eight. Ron was two, two off base six in this double header.
• 24:06
  Ron and Kenny are three, two, six. The three is up to Eddie Greenball. Greenball two for four in the first game. His average is now at 262.
• 24:31
  He's all run 45 runs by the day. And the first pitch of the left hand batter is Carter inside ball one. Eddie had a big hit in that five run eight heading.
• 24:44
  There's that first and third. Greenball trying to single in the right center field. That's Ron and Johnny Lewis. Get the rally going. He takes a fast ball in the outside corner. It's like one fast ball moving away from the left hand batter. One ball, one strike.
• 25:10
  That's Ron, Ron.
• 25:18
  Watch him run back again and the corner ball right for right field. Johnny Lewis with four for three. Going to third against Mike Bennett and Ron Pomoda and he makes it standing up.
• 25:45

  The next big tie is ball one. Go batting, 2.39.
• 26:45
  Standing up on the bullpen for the Baylor Giants.
• 27:04
  Ball one strike. That's not Turkey out of the box. It's now the afternoon for it.
• 27:16
  Winner's at first and third. Mike Pomoda at third base and Raynard Burke. Bosworth in the best position. It's one-one delivery. It's put on a miss like two.
• 27:26
  The foul is just indicated by three-one and the umpire behind the home plate.
• 27:36
  The Giants foul for Pomoda. Bosworth taking off the first set of signs with a good footback. He's now at the batter's box.
• 28:05
  Now Bosworth's set. Minutes one, two delivery with the runner going. Mike back to the radio booth and down below.
• 28:16
  Another Giants point and two with Baylor hunting on a fix.
• 28:35
  Out of the box and on the white field. He knows it's going to be
• 28:51
  and two men left in the score at the end of the walk,
• 28:53
  the best two in the Cardinal Company.
• 29:00
  On a second, the Dodgers' giant score,

  Coming in the ball game in the ninth inning to save the game for the winning pitcher, Gordon Richardson.
• 34:45
  That's one at seven to five.
• 34:49
  Gagliano batting the 260 with seven home runs.
• 34:52
  44 runs battered in.
• 35:03
  Two ball, no strike counts.
• 35:05
  Mets leading two to nothing, but the Cardinals with the runners first base to no one out at the top of the second.
• 35:11
  The pitch is in for a call of strikes.
• 35:25
  That's a draw.
• 35:26
  Left hand pitcher with the sign.
• 35:31
  It's next to the green. It's now on the play. That ball found off the Catana with two and two.
• 35:51
  That will be 21 years of age this month on August the 30th.
• 35:59
  That is two to five.
• 36:01
  Making inside football three.
• 36:04
  So for the second time in this inning, three and two on about it.
• 36:08
  And Bill White a fast man at first base.
• 36:18
  That first major league appearance was on April 18th.
• 36:22
  Coming in with a base to the moment, he struck out a line with the fader.
• 36:27
  Bill White at first base. He does not go and the pitch is popped up on the infield.
• 36:31
  First base with Eddie Cranbrook coming down.
• 36:33
  The wind's lifting the ball on foul territory.
• 36:35
  Head-head making the catch.
• 36:42
  Say sometimes it's hard to believe that so many different kinds of people can agree on one thing.
• 36:47
  They have to all.
• 36:49
  They make rangole extra dry. New York State's largest selling beer.
• 36:57
  Now the batter is Tim McCarver the catcher.
• 37:11
  McCarver left hand batter hitting 283.
• 37:21
  And the first pitch is taken high.
• 37:23
  A total first base to White.
• 37:25
  Clearly close play.
• 37:37
  McCarver with one hit today.
• 37:38
  That was the first ball game.
• 37:40
  Two for eleven in the third.
• 37:48
  One ball, both strikes. One away down for the second.
• 37:50
  A total first base with no tag made by Cranbrook.
• 37:53
  This leading to nothing.
• 37:56
  Make choice two in the bottom half of the first.
• 38:01
  Next pitch to McCarver popped up on the third base side.
• 38:05
  Foul territory.
• 38:06
  Chuck Keller back over the back of the back to make the play.
• 38:10
  Bill White holding the first base to miss out the second out.
• 38:16
  Now the batter will be the right fielder Mike Gannon.
• 38:22
  Gannon with an average of 205. Three home runs. 19 runs better do.
• 38:36
  Cranbrook's foot away now here today. The right hand stop.
• 38:40
  Just a heavy drizzle at the beginning of the game.
• 38:44
  First pitch to test is a tag that's not made by him. Strike one.
• 38:51
  Gaff Henderson for the San Francisco Giants.
• 38:54
  Did a home run off Sandy Colfax.
• 38:56
  So that game now is two to one in favor of the Dodgers with the Giants batting in the bottom half of the second.
• 39:03
  On Berrishaw against Colfax.
• 39:06
  And that's all they've scored. It is now two to one at the end of two.
• 39:09
  Next pitch to Kerrball at the Genin. Strike two.
• 39:20
  Tomorrow it's going to be John Drysdale against Larry Miller. Tomorrow night.
• 39:27
  A two strike delivery.
• 39:29
  Back ball lined to left. The base is. Bill White going to second base.
• 39:33
  And now golfing after starting over to third base after the ball was bobbled by Ron Sabota.
• 39:42
  Mike Gannon almost ran too far down toward second base. Bill White changes line twice.
• 39:47
  Ron Sabota went over to pick it up and bobbled it but it stayed right in front of him. Bill White then stopped.
• 39:53
  But then he bobbled it again and Bill White started to go again.
• 39:57
  Then when Ron picked it up it was too late and Bill had to go back to second.
• 40:01
  Mike Gannon behind him had moved about three quarters of the way down to second base and had to huckle back to first.
• 40:12
  Now that's the first pitch ball on the same of those cardinals off.
• 40:17
  Left hander's done with John. And it brings up the pitcher Ray Walsh first.
• 40:27
  Ray a right hand batter batting 179. And he picks a fastball high ball one.
• 40:53
  One ball no strikes.
• 41:01
  And an extra that Ray has taken on the outside corner. Fastball is one and one.
• 41:15
  Well the New York Giants about back after the first game of the battle to Green Bay defeating Pittsburgh by a 16 to 7 score.
• 41:23
  Giants defeating Pittsburgh 16 to 7.
• 41:30
  Next pitch is one and a miss and strike two. One ball and two strikes.
• 41:45
  Good LeGraw pitching to Ray Walsh and his next pitch is a credit ball looked at correctly.
• 41:51
  And a strike at the end of one and a half.
• 42:03
  And a strike to a fast in New York City without every kind of jazz from Dixieland to McGregor. Fortunately you don't have to. Listen.
• 42:21
  The New York Giants are playing the Black Street Rag, a uniquely American sound. It came up to Mississippi out of New Orleans with a Negro jazz man who played it to the world. But they didn't stop with Dixieland and the blues.
• 42:41
  Little David's You by John Lewis is a new sound that's part of a new generation. But whether it's the old jazz or the new, it's thirsty works for the musicians. And when they put down their instruments, they'll pick up a cold beer, often Rhine Gold extra dry.
• 42:57
  In fact, in New York City, where there are more kinds of jazz than in any other city in the world, more people drink Rhine Gold than any other beer. Why do so many people like Rhine Gold? We don't know, but we must be doing something right.
• 43:18
  The second half of the second season is coming up against Ray Walshburn. They lead 2-0. Walshburn will be quick to get to the 8th batter. He'll be followed by the pitcher Chuck McGraw on the top of the batting order.
• 43:31
  The batter is raw. Walshburn has given up two runs the last three years. He has not struck out a batter. He has walked one. It has been a right-hand batter.
• 43:49
  And the right-hand pitcher with his first pitcher, Bayne Boyd on the short taken by Nick Brody, Salino with his first base ball. One pitch and one away for Ray Walshburn.
• 44:05
  Bring up Chuck McGraw. Chuck has been up three times in base three years. That's one base hit.
• 44:26
  Out batting 3-33. Get a tell before Burnaby out batting 1-76. One out in the bottom half of the second and that's just one 2-0. They won the first game 7-5.
• 44:40
  And the first pitch to McGraw. That's the right-hand side. It's run on a miss strike one. One strike to the rear. Swing of the slider for strike two. McGraw laughing as he turns around to take a look at the empire.
• 45:06
  Milwaukee has tied up their ball game with a hard. Going to run on the top of the ninth. It is now 4-4 with Pittsburgh batting in the bottom half of the ninth inning.
• 45:14
  Tony Kahninger pitching for Milwaukee. Don Klaw for Pittsburgh. A curve ball back is outside. They count one ball and two strikes.
• 45:28
  One and two to Chuck McGraw wearing number 45. In the next pitch is slider outside. Two balls to strike. Walshburn's uniform that's open for three.
• 45:53
  The second is two-two delivery. Back ball flight five. Coach down the play. Two balls and two strikes.
• 46:01
  With this information on the Gemini 5 flight, the astronauts started the 20th orbit at 4-15 and they are to go at least 13 more.
• 46:09
  It is clear that space officials are shooting for a full eight days voyage. They don't decide tomorrow. Neither Cooper nor Conrad has had much sleep or food but thought they're in good condition and drinking plenty of water.
• 46:22
  They're going to get a foul. Balls to the canister. Two balls and two strikes. The bulky electrical system is generating that near-capacity.
• 46:31
  No one seems certain of the exact reason for the improvement. But I have to hear it's a big improvement. They might go all the way.
• 46:47
  Two balls, two strikes. In the three of them, that's like three. As long as he runs away at the plate, he has his right foot down.
• 46:57
  Dodgers out on the top of the third. They lead two to one with the Giants coming up in the bottom half.
• 47:03
  Danny Cooper has to get one there, Joe. One-oh delivery. Fastball is tight. And it hits the umpire right in the back. Knocks it off.
• 47:24
  LeBron not even getting the driver. Driver tossed up completely on the fifth year, looking for the curve.
• 47:39
  Three-wire takes home the hit. He's had about six foot six. Ball is foul off the bat as Ron Hunter, who tried to get out of the way, fell and accounted one ball and one strike.
• 48:01
  In the next set, drive it outside for ball two. Two balls, one strike.
• 48:26
  And the next pitch is now toward first base. Bill White over it. It's running off. It's over to first base. The pitch is covering and parking for the out.
• 48:35
  Every side is a side. It's just played by Bill White. One-two-three against the Mets and the Swampy and the Two. The Mets still have the game of the card, no nothing.
• 48:46
  The Mets have announced today that they have to get driven again by maybe next 50 seconds to the J Stadium, to that yearbook J Stadium bus in New York.
• 49:00
  Over now to the top of the third. First man up will be Lou Brock, the leadoff batter for the St. Louis Cardinals.
• 49:06
  Bill again the first base runner of this ball game when he watched his first down run. He was left at first base as McGraw got three in a row. He also watched his first batter in the second but left two as he gave up a hit.
• 49:19
  First pitch, Ben Fins, brought back around at ball one. Fast ball and cut. Brock batting two-nighty-five.
• 49:28
  San Francisco's Dodger game has been delayed right now. Time has been called because of an argument. Now Funch kept the ball in the air and Craneflow ventured out and back up first base. Brock putting the ball in the air and hard.
• 49:42
  One away and Craneflow meant to grab in the air and now the batter will be Dick Throes. Dick took out or was called out his first time up and he argued profusely and vehemently if he gets the call but lost an assistant, Fred Dandy and Joe Schultz to get him away to keep him in the ball game.
• 50:12
  First pitch is Jacob Coonball low from ball one.
• 50:21
  John Milwaukee braves and the Pittsburgh fires. Going to go into extra inning. It's a four-four ball game. W. O'Dell has been brought in. Don Foll has changed in the ball game after relieving him late.
• 50:48
  And now a draw back and in for called Funch. Two balls, one cut.
• 50:54
  Brock batting two-fifty-two.
• 51:07
  And the next pitch is hard down to Jordan. It's off of the knee of Roy McMillan bouncing out in the center field. Ron Hunt hustles out to pick it up and it's going to be a big hit. A hard smash and Dick Throes gets the base hit on him.
• 51:20
  All off of the knee of Roy McMillan. Roy was in front of it but there was sort of a vicious half-off and he never could get the glove on him.
• 51:29
  And there's the second hit off Doug Madron that brings up Kurt Fletch.
• 51:41
  Kurt saw one pitch his first time up and bounced his second. His average is two-ninety-five. Fletch is in front two-nothing. But one out the top of the third.
• 51:57
  And the first pitch again is bounced up this time on the third base side in south territory. The killer there, he makes it get.
• 52:07
  That is the second out for Doug Madron. He'll now contend with the cleanup battered Ken Boyer. Ken also saw only one pitch his first time up and he bounced off the catcher Chris Cannazero.
• 52:24
  Boyer stepping in batting 264. 11 homeruns and 63 runs battered in.
• 52:33
  That's two runs three hits. The cardinals no runs and two hits. Two men on top of the third.
• 52:44
  And the third is first base. A look there by a ground that's fixed to the plate. It's inside ball one.
• 52:57
  One ball and no strikes.
• 53:02
  A lot of crowd here today. A good one in spite of the fact that there's a threatening weather in the one of the courts. 23,122. Change of base and it's low for ball two. Two balls, no strikes.
• 53:14
  23,122 paid here today. That's now drawn 1,297,254. And with this next week coming up, six consecutive night games with the Dodgers and the Giants. Four with the Dodgers, two with the Giants. And a day game after with the Giants.
• 53:35
  That could run it up there into high figures. That's six back to play. That's inside ball three. A fastball missing to Ken Boyer.
• 53:48
  Could be about another quarter of a million people coming in. So the mess will be up around 1,550,000 at the end of next week.
• 54:00
  Weather for many. The weather report for tomorrow is good. Here's a free-o fit pops up. Ball's going foul on a play.
• 54:08
  No red changes. Who would like to hit a free-o himself when he was playing. He's throwing that at Ken. Giving Ken Boyer a chance to go for the long ball here. And Boyer calling the ball off. It's down now at three balls and one strike. It grew to first base so Boyer represents a time run.
• 54:33
  And then at three-one. The pitchers that keep going. And it's going, going, going. And it is gone.
• 54:54
  Ken Boyer with his second home run of the series. A 12th home run of the year. That's a brand new ball game in two to zero. A long home run. In the left field. And the Cardinals have tied it up.
• 55:05
  But right now, real fast for baseball identification. This is the New York Hets baseball network.
• 55:10
  For baseball, for the best in New York baseball. Comprehensive, reliable, youth reporting. Stay tuned to WTY Connectivity.
• 55:22
  Kyle Skarner along with Bob Murphy and Lindsey Nelson from J City. The first pitch after the home run is the Bill Wyter tie in tight for ball one. Mike Betty, 278. He lost his first time up in a three-two pitch.
• 55:44
  And the home run given up by McGraw. His fourth home is here. That's a drive foul on the right field line. It was a whistle. One ball, one strike.
• 56:05
  Why did that some vintage touch that the left hand vintage touch was wrong? One ball, one strike. And the next pitch sat on pitch that hangs up high for ball two. Two balls, one strike.
• 56:26
  The Cardinals now have 88 home runs for the season. Second home run for the Cardinals today. Bill Wyker has won the first ball game.
• 56:40
  Two-two game with two outs at the top of the third. That pitch off the handle, looks at the right field. Good drop in. Bill Gritzberg going hard for it. Ron Huck going hard out.
• 56:56
  Bill Phil White gets the base hit off the handle in the right field. Quarters of the game off of McGraw and that brings up the second baseman Bill Gagliano.
• 57:15
  Gagliano batting at 259 with seven home runs and 42 runs there it is. Bill White is then the lead. The Cardinals and home runs for 19. He's at first base now.
• 57:27
  Draw to the plate. And the ball hits the right field. High in the air. Gritzberg handling over to his left. And he makes the catch and every shot.
• 57:36
  The Cardinals tied up for two runs on three hits. There were no errors. One man left. The score at the end is two and a half. The Cardinals two, the Mets two.
• 57:46
  It's a miss. Half of a third as the Mets are once more tied up in the ball game. The score is two-two. The first man up for New York will be Roy McMillan.
• 57:56
  Roy batting officially for the first time in this game. He's sacrificed his first time up the foot run on the second base. He's scored a base hit by Ron Fomota.
• 58:07
  Roy batting at 243 with one home run and 29 runs there it is. Roy will be followed by shot killer Ms. Johnny Lewis and on the mound for the Cardinals.
• 58:19
  Roy's third one. He has given up two runs to last three hits while striking out one and walking one.
• 58:38
  Roy leaves the club and sacrifice this with a total of 15 counts. He's getting three in the double header. And he hits the first pitch foul. It'll go out of play.
• 58:49
  Strike one. One strike shot.
• 59:10
  Ray Watchburn, a right-hander back and the ball is rounded to the middle. It's going to go through for a base hit. Roy rounding his first base and stopping there as Kurt Rudd dodges the ball in.
• 59:21
  The Mets get their first mickle on here in the bottom half of the third and the batter will now be shot killer.
• 59:29
  Just playing in place of Johnny Smith who was hit by a pitch foul on the left elbow for the first time. Johnny has been taken to the hospital for concussionary x-ray.
• 59:56
  And the first pitch to Hillers. Right at the second base for Jacque Reino. He throws the first pitch to John Bill White.
• 1:00:03
  That's the time Roy has and Roy the Cardinal coming up.
• 1:00:07
  Roy arguing along with Yogi Fair that Bill White was out of the bag when he got the ball but the Elucia Heller first made some far as John Schiffer.
• 1:00:16
  That was a nice shot by the Jacque Reino. He shot at the guard who had two star seconds. Right at the back and it's just played by Bill White and the heart draw by Joe Gacchiano.
• 1:00:27
  So quickly two men away and the batter will be Johnny Reino.
• 1:00:39
  And the first pitch to Johnny to the curve ball. That's inside. Johnny has to sit around at ball one.
• 1:00:52
  And the one over the rear. James gets outside and high ball two. Two balls, no side.
• 1:00:59
  Donnell two runs and Moritz the next two runs and Moritz. Two men away at the bottom half of third. Now Gacchiano rocks the mound again to save it.
• 1:01:09
  Roy Rocks first.
• 1:01:30
  And the pitch. Get off the handle, look for the left field. Right there is Luke Rock.
• 1:01:46
  Gacchiano is to get Gacchiano outside. No runs, one hit, no errors, double play and no one left. And the score at the end of three, they love Gacchiano two. New York Mets two.
• 1:02:00
  And the score is still a morsel when you listen to this.
• 1:02:16
  And we're at Irish parties and picnics until the singers raise a ferocious stir. Then they say that we'll toast out your last words and drink what you will. My ears are beating every day.
• 1:02:31
  The traditional Irish drinking shot, and often the beer they drink is Rhine Gold extra dry.
• 1:02:37
  In fact, in New York City, where there are more Irish than in the whole of Dublin,
• 1:02:43
  more people drink Rhine Gold than any other beer.
• 1:02:46
  Why do Irish Americans like Rhine Gold?
• 1:02:48
  We don't know, but we must be doing something right.
• 1:03:03
  We're now at the top of the fourth inning of the game, and 2-2 are now for the play-by-play Bob Murphy.
• 1:03:18
  As San Francisco, Willie Baves has been a 3-1 homer off Sandy Goffax in the third inning.
• 1:03:23
  While Willie is 38th of the year, 491 in his career.
• 1:03:29
  The Giants now lead the Dodgers by a lead of 4-2, batting in the last half of the third inning.
• 1:03:37
  Giants need a win to gain a split in the four game series.
• 1:03:44
  Amid the draw lines, the pitch to the left-hand batter, Jim McCarver, is the anvil one.
• 1:03:51
  Willie now has his sixth homerun in six days.
• 1:04:00
  He is fizzling out again.
• 1:04:04
  Willie will be coming to J City on Friday night for the weekend series.
• 1:04:09
  Now, Tug Madrall lines the fifth throw, and he has popped the foul back toward the crowd.
• 1:04:15
  No play for Chris Canazillo.
• 1:04:17
  Canazillo backstopping both games of the double-F. Jim McCarver fouled out.
• 1:04:25
  The third baseman, Tug Hiller, is first to have an out.
• 1:04:35
  If you join us a little late, the Mets will have third baseman, Tug, his first early in the first game today when he was fifth back in.
• 1:04:41
  The foul ball launched it back toward our broadcast, but no play.
• 1:04:47
  Valleywood just with a fastball drawn by Chris Canazillo just above the left elbow.
• 1:04:53
  Extremely painful and he was flung.
• 1:04:56
  That's a feat of the mind to not feel, unless there was any batter, but precautionary extravages are being taken.
• 1:05:03
  Tug Madrall lands the one-two, and it's over.
• 1:05:12
  It's over.
• 1:05:14
  That's the third strikeout for Tug in the batter now is Mike Cannon.
• 1:05:23
  Cannon single to left field, his first time out.
• 1:05:33
  Cannon batting 2-0-9.
• 1:05:41
  Ball near the side, 2-2, where there's a four-time.
• 1:05:45
  And the pitchers roll it out, grand, one ball and no strike.
• 1:05:50
  Philadelphia on an eight-setting home run by Tug Stewart.
• 1:05:54
  It's Cincinnati at 65, Bunning one of his 16th games.
• 1:06:02
  Tug Stewart in a foul ball, a backup into the ground, no play.
• 1:06:08
  This first batting and the last of the 10-10 was a chance to win it.
• 1:06:11
  Braves and Barrett's inside four to four of the home 10-10.
• 1:06:29
  Roll to the sound track, two and one.
• 1:06:32
  Boy, don't you think they're having a battle in San Francisco?
• 1:06:45
  Now the count is two balls for the strike.
• 1:06:48
  The pitchers count inside to have all three.
• 1:06:50
  Now according to the report, we have received, here on our broadcast,
• 1:06:53
  we cannot pass for its authenticity, but it's still in its backroom.
• 1:07:02
  They had quite a knockdown battle, and Juan Marichal has thrown out of the ballgame.
• 1:07:11
  Here's the 3-1 delivery, the two high ball fours, and Cannon will go to first base.
• 1:07:17
  According to our report, Juan Marichal knocked down Marty Will and Ron Kelly.
• 1:07:24
  When he came up, Sandy Koufax sent something through to Johnny Roseboro.
• 1:07:31
  Marichal then hit Roseboro on the side of the head.
• 1:07:36
  With a bat.
• 1:07:39
  Marichal was thrown out, and Roseboro is being extra.
• 1:07:44
  What's going on out there, Ralph?
• 1:07:48
  You can expect something to get mighty hot out there.
• 1:07:51
  They had two extra inning ballgames, which was Dodger and Warren,
• 1:07:54
  and that's how they beat everybody up.
• 1:07:56
  Now the pitchers fouled off on the funnel jump.
• 1:07:59
  Ron Herbold is now pitching for the giant.
• 1:08:02
  Marichal, who obviously really lost to Pepper,
• 1:08:05
  was thrown out of the ballgame by the umpires.
• 1:08:18
  That'll make headlines reading under the fourth baseman tomorrow.
• 1:08:23
  He's allowed to punt, punt, fair ball, and the draw picks it up.
• 1:08:27
  The play will be at first.
• 1:08:28
  Then a punt comes over to Pepper on the throw.
• 1:08:43
  Now there are two away, and Mike Cannon moves over to second.
• 1:08:47
  And it brings up Lou Brock.
• 1:08:56
  Lou Brock has reached on a walk, and then we stand on a top slide of first.
• 1:09:11
  Now the pitchers underway.
• 1:09:13
  This is the outside corner, and they're one ball and no strikes.
• 1:09:17
  That's one of the opening games, 7-5, on a dramatic home run in the eighth inning by Jim Hickman.
• 1:09:24
  The game went up as a ten-fitter with two men on it.
• 1:09:28
  They had a home run over the right field wall to win it.
• 1:09:31
  It was the first home run, and Hal Woodard took it,
• 1:09:35
  giving up his 36th ballgame, wearing a journal uniform.
• 1:09:38
  This grown to Brock is high drive to left-center field.
• 1:09:44
  Johnny Lewis over in the alley is there to make the guess.
• 1:09:46
  No runs, no hits, no errors, one left.
• 1:09:55
  At the end of 3-1-2, it's the same row of Cardinals, two amateur yards, much too.
• 1:10:07
  Last of the fourth inning, Ron Favoto will be played off batter against Ray Walshberg.
• 1:10:20
  Ron single to home, Ron Huck in the first inning.
• 1:10:31
  Now right hander Ray Walshberg, fires and is found, back up to the ground, no play, a drag left.
• 1:10:51
  The ground is knocked in and running each game of the day into the weather.
• 1:10:55
  Good ballgame of 5-2-2, we're in the last half of the fourth inning.
• 1:10:59
  Good throw by Walshberg is outside and low, one ball, one strike.
• 1:11:17
  One long delivery to Ron, a big throw curve that breaks over the outside corner,
• 1:11:22
  he really bridles back on that one.
• 1:11:23
  It's one ball and two strikes.
• 1:11:31
  Eddie Crane, blue, and the senior yard deck circle, Ben Jill Christopher.
• 1:11:36
  Each team has two runs, four bases.
• 1:11:40
  A foul ball, no play.
• 1:12:07
  A foul ball, no play.
• 1:12:11
  Ben's lay held up for a moment while a fan who had elected to come out of the field,
• 1:12:16
  which is in direct violation, the ball is directed away from the playing field.
• 1:12:35
  One ball and two strikes on Ron Favota.
• 1:12:44
  Ron says to be back and that's good hitting through.
• 1:12:49
  Now Walshberg ranks up to one-two, but Balsam ball hits toward the middle,
• 1:12:54
  driven down by Groats, the throw to first, baby the first is Ron Favota.
• 1:12:59
  Ron made a head-first fly and is headed that way three yards.
• 1:13:02
  The throw was off balance and it was wide and it fell wide off the back.
• 1:13:07
  As it turned down, Ron didn't need to head-first fly, but he did throw it.
• 1:13:11
  He really went hurtling into the back and he hit the thing hard with his head.
• 1:13:15
  The play is set for Ron Favota.
• 1:13:17
  He plays this game with a great deal of enthusiasm and vitality.
• 1:13:36
  Ron had two hits and three trips in the first game and he drove in a run.
• 1:13:40
  Now it's two for two and a four game.
• 1:13:44
  Now Eddie Crane rules that the Yankee has a way of watching.
• 1:13:49
  Eddie's single in a run, his first hammer.
• 1:13:55
  Here's the pitcher on the way, bounce foul back toward the screen, no play.
• 1:14:02
  That's a fellow leading over the rail outside the catcher's ball for the two and they're toppled right out of the field.
• 1:14:22
  Eddie Crane rules the RBI in the opening inning with his 46th of the year.
• 1:14:27
  Charlie Smith, the team winner, Charlie threw a 53 up.
• 1:14:30
  Low and then the third, one ball and one stretch.
• 1:14:34
  Charlie may be in loss to the ball club for several days after being hit just above the left elbow with a touch in the opening ball game.
• 1:14:51
  Now White Spur works off the stretch.
• 1:14:53
  Mr. Crane's over three, four and foul back to the ground, no play. One ball and stretch.
• 1:15:02
  The Giants lead the Dodgers four to two after three on a three run homer by Willie Mayer.
• 1:15:09
  Willie now has 14 home runs this month.
• 1:15:13
  So he now is back again on the National League record for most home runs in one month.
• 1:15:17
  It has been held for a long time by our broadcasting colleague Ralph Garner.
• 1:15:23
  A couple of years ago Frank Robinson made a run at it.
• 1:15:26
  A swing and a miss on a change of turn to a three.
• 1:15:31
  Willie has been flicked for the last six days. 14 in this month, he now has 38 for the year.
• 1:15:38
  Let me get him to one of those five trees.
• 1:15:40
  It's absolutely amazing. He hits everything.
• 1:15:51
  One out and one on. Bill Christopher who lined up to the right fielder Mike Shannon in the first inning.
• 1:15:57
  Up now for the second time.
• 1:16:01
  That's score two in the first. But Ken Moore, you're tied to be able to two run homer in the third inning.
• 1:16:07
  That's ball in, Frank Wenzel.
• 1:16:27
  Bill White holds the guess run for both of them.
• 1:16:29
  Now the fifth. Round ball bounced towards second base. Gagliano steps on second. Bruce to White for the double play.
• 1:16:39
  Bill White to White for the double play. No runs, one hit, no errors, done well. Four innings complete. The famous cargo two runs, four hits and no errors. The New York Mets two runs, five hits and no errors.
• 1:16:58
  Dick Groat leading off as we go to the fifth inning. White's the first pitch foul over into the crowd.
• 1:17:08
  They lost with two, three and four in the body.
• 1:17:20
  That's a good play against Doug McGraw in the fifth inning. He's long toward right center field, way back to Bill Christopher and he makes the guess on the edge of the warning track. Christopher after a long run took that opposite field drive.
• 1:17:38
  That's a good play. One out, nobody on. That brings up Kurt Flaug. Kurt has been retired on an in field top fly and has fouled out to Chuck Hiller playing third.
• 1:17:50
  King just settled side, one ball and no strikes. Doug McGraw starting foot off with an off-pitch.
• 1:18:05
  Have a picture on the way, a fast ball to tie, two balls and no strikes.
• 1:18:17
  This thing's going over a stretch on the outback corner. Dave is questioned by Kurt Flaug and the count is two and one.
• 1:18:35
  Fled one of the top hit makers in baseball. Here's the two-one delivery. High foul fly down the right field line back into the crowd. Long strike on Fled and McGowan, two balls and two strikes.
• 1:18:53
  Fishing during two. Blue team fly ball toward the last field line. Christopher coming over by the line, makes the guess as far as they're concerned.
• 1:19:12
  Throw two up and two set aside. That brings up Jim Boyer.
• 1:19:21
  John Lafitte and his pirates sail into the Jones Bay Spirit as a summer and Gallen Bardo as Mardi Gras. It's a new musical spectacular with Fluterdasters, Dixieland Jeb, the Mardi Gras ball and all the excitement of New Orleans.
• 1:19:42
  Boyer hit a two-one humber to tie the game his last time up. Now hip into the middle, Chris Genneville, one strike. Kenny Boyer now is the two-one run series and has flogged for the year.
• 1:19:55
  Down the draw, 50s under the knees on a breaking ball, one ball, one strike.
• 1:20:11
  Now we have a torrent from San Francisco on the Murphy's board now and I quote, one nurse now hits John Roseborough on the head with a bat after a banter ruffler following knockdown pitches to Wills and Merley, Roseborough undergoing x-ray.
• 1:20:29
  He takes a side race, doesn't give him a hat, two balls and a strike.
• 1:20:41
  This is a two-one run. Outside the house, ball three, three and one on Ken Boyer.
• 1:21:11
  Down the draw, winds, the three-one-fifth. Turb is bounced in the dirt outside of home plate, ball four and Boyer goes to first.
• 1:21:25
  That is the fourth one given up by Doug and the bringer of Bill White. Bill has reached on a one and collected a blue fly ball single to right field.
• 1:21:41
  Ruffander against Ruffander and the pitchers under the knees a pick to first none and dime.
• 1:21:53
  Quick snap for Oback, rip counter zero, trying to get Ken Boyer. Now the pitcher underway, ground ball passed the man going up the middle for a base hitter center.
• 1:22:17
  Rounding second and stopping is Ken Boyer as Johnny Lewis plays the ball back out.
• 1:22:30
  Bill White had one hit a home run on the opening ball game and four dimes to pass. And now it's two for two in the night shot.
• 1:22:37
  Bill has fouled out to Eddie Crane-Boole and flies to right, nothing for two.
• 1:22:47
  It's been up and ease for a golf strike. Now the Redbird base runners take a lead.
• 1:23:09
  The ground delivers under the knees by the Brigham's disc, one ball and one strike.
• 1:23:20
  We're on the first inning of the game inside two to two.
• 1:23:28
  Now Hunter has to sneak in on the runner a second. The off-seek pitchers blowing in fast, it boils in a strike.
• 1:23:45
  Well the Giants can certainly ill afford to lose one minute down on a suspension. It'll be a three to three when all of the details are in concerning the roof bar, what happens?
• 1:23:59
  Inside and high is three balls and a strike. Now Tuck is a fifth away from loading the bases for Jim McArthur. He's behind on Gagliano three and one.
• 1:24:25
  Three one delivery. Ball four is about to pass and that loads them up.
• 1:24:42
  Now Tim McCarver is up.
• 1:25:09
  One ball and no strikes on McCarver and Young-Ted McGraw in final jam here. The bases are loaded. McCarver the batter with two men down.
• 1:25:27
  Now Tuck into his line up is the fifth to McCarver. A ground ball bounce on the right side. Three full grabs and McGraw to cover. It's half a fast bounce.
• 1:25:43
  McGraw pitches out of the jam as he gets the camera to ground the ball to Eddie Greenboo. No runs, one hit, no errors, three left. At the end of four and a half, the Cardinals two and the New York Mets two.
• 1:25:56
  Do you drive a car? Here's some helpful information for you. A mileage tip from Shell. Did you know your brakes could be costing you money by wasting gasoline? It's true.
• 1:26:12
  Shell mileage experts point out that if brakes are out of adjustment, they can drag. You may not even notice it, but dragging brakes hold your car back and make your engine work harder. Result? A waste of gasoline.
• 1:26:26
  So drive into your local Shell station. Ask the dealer to check your brakes next time you have your car lubricated. It only takes a few minutes, but it may make a real difference in your mileage.
• 1:26:36
  Of course, the gasoline you buy can make a difference too. Shell mileage experts know this, and that's why they blend a mileage ingredient called platformate into Supershell.
• 1:26:45
  Platformate's extra energy gives Supershell a boost to help you get good mileage. So take this advice from Shell mileage experts. Make sure your brakes aren't dragging, and keep your tank filled with Supershell. It's blended by experts to help you get good mileage.

• 1:27:46
  We're getting more details on the tremendous groove on it at San Francisco.
• 1:27:51
  It all started off. Marty Will and Ron Fairley were knocked down by Juan Marichal.
• 1:28:01
  Then in retaliation, Willie May is with Birkback. And according to the reports we have received, we'll have more accurate information later on.
• 1:28:11
  Johnny Roseborough attempted to hit Juan Marichal in the head with his returns off the go-back from the mound.
• 1:28:16
  But Juan instead hit him with a fat. Roseborough jumped on Marichal and the fight was on. Both centers and both fans empty.
• 1:28:25
  Jack Crawford grabbed Juan Marichal and ejected him from the game. And Roseborough is now undergoing x-ray.

  Ray Wiseburn with a two-strike count on Doug. Here's the pitch on the way and the curve at that side. One ball and two strikes.
• 1:30:20
  Doug was struck out his first to Emma. Each team has two runs by him.
• 1:30:28
  Now McGraw asks for Sam and he steps out of the batter's box.
• 1:30:33
  One duplex is fouled and back over to three no play.
• 1:31:03
  Wiseburn cranks up. The pitch to McGraw misses the outside corner so the count is even two balls and two strikes.
• 1:31:10
  The best score is two runs in the opening inning on base hits by Ron Hunt and watch as Johnny Lewis.
• 1:31:16

• 1:33:51
  Philadelphia on an eighth inning home run by Dick Stewart. It's the Cincinnati Reds six to five with Jim Bunning winning it 16th. Roger Craig was the loser in relief.
• 1:34:02
  Billy Hepp went all the way on a seven hitter as the Cubs beat the Astros three to one.
• 1:34:09
  And the Dodgers jazz battle is now the last of the fifth inning with the Giants in front four to two.

  Line drive in the air to right field. Jen will have to play it on the hop and the ball gets signed and it's rolling back to the bullpen.
• 1:34:23
  Ron Hunt is way into round third. He's coming down the line and he will score. The Braves the third to five three.
• 1:34:29
  The Braves the third to five three.
• 1:34:32
  The Braves the third to five three.
• 1:34:47

• 1:35:04
  Another great double header for that grand old warrior, Roy McMillan.
• 1:35:08
  Roy McMillan. He has had an outstanding career.
• 1:35:18
  Here's the picture on the way to Hiller driving the other team right back to his car and he's up. And he makes the catch to the batter's eye.
• 1:35:27
  One run, two hits.
• 1:35:31
  No errors.
• 1:35:33
  One left on. Now five innings complete. The Yorks three runs, seven hits and no errors. St. Louis two runs, five hits and no errors.
• 1:35:52
  The Dodgers here tomorrow night and they'll have Don Drivefield on the mound. Larry Miller will be fishing for New York. Larry did a good job against the Dodgers. He's last time out against them.
• 1:36:01
  That's the opener of four great night ball games against the Dodgers. Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night and Thursday night.
• 1:36:10
  And then the Giants with a red hot Willie Mays commence Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. He looks like he's getting any hotter than Willie is right now.
• 1:36:20
  He's at 14 home runs the month of August. He's two away from the night of the league record held by our colleague Ralph Keiner.
• 1:36:27
  He now has six home runs in the last six days and has made the total for the year of 38.
• 1:36:33
  The night of the league record for home runs for the Bustasville by Rudy York who hit 18. The night of the league record is 16.
• 1:36:41
  The Dodgers are ahead by one point nine and the Dodgers are behind by one point 10 so they have about one point 10 to go.
• 1:36:49
  The Dodgers are ahead by two points nine and the Dodgers are ahead by six so they have about one point 10 to go.
• 1:36:56
  bill by Rudy York who hit 18.
• 1:36:58
  The maximum record is 16.
• 1:37:02
  Bobby Clouse is coming on the field
• 1:37:06
  to replace Ron Huff.
• 1:37:10
  Ron has really played hard today.
• 1:37:12
  The less left from field, but
• 1:37:16
  he doesn't want to take any chances on him.
• 1:37:18
  He's hurting himself because he's already hurting it out of the base of his pants
• 1:37:22
  and trying to get the tape all over again.
• 1:37:24
  He's had five hits, he's made head first flies,
• 1:37:28
  he's done it all this afternoon.
• 1:37:30
  So now Bobby Clouse will arrest Ron Huff the remainder of the way.
• 1:37:46
  It's the 6th inning and Mike Cannon is up against Doug McGraw.
• 1:37:50
  Ron has a high ball one.
• 1:38:06
  Ron has 3-4-5 in the first ball game and 2-3 in this one.
• 1:38:10
  A swing and a miss by Cannon, one ball and one strike.
• 1:38:14
  A outstanding double header for Ron.
• 1:38:20
  Ron has a high ball one.
• 1:38:36
  Outside takes the offensive, one-one delivery.
• 1:38:40
  A low and outside, two balls and a strike.
• 1:39:00
  Here's the 2-1-5.
• 1:39:02
  A high fly ball into center field.
• 1:39:04
  Back, back goes Johnny Lewis to the edge of the track.
• 1:39:06
  He's under it and he hooks it away for the eye.
• 1:39:08
  The ball got up in the air and didn't really carry.
• 1:39:12
  One out and nobody on and Ray Weitzberg will be coming up.
• 1:39:18
  Now here is more information on the rhubarb and Candle Six bark.
• 1:39:22
  The Associated Press reports that Ron Marischal,
• 1:39:26
  after the knockdowns, had just let off the third inning.
• 1:39:30
  And on the second pitch, Johnny Roseburg returns road to the mound,
• 1:39:34
  narrowly missed Marischal's head.
• 1:39:36
  That's been off the fuse.
• 1:39:40
  High fly hits a deep right field, back goes Thrustiver.
• 1:39:44
  He's under it at the edge of the track and he has it through that.
• 1:39:50
  And after the throw, narrowly missed his head.
• 1:39:52
  One Marischal hits Johnny Roseburg two or three times on the head with a baseball bat.
• 1:39:58
  Roseburg left the field witting over the left eye.
• 1:40:02
  Marischal left for the torn shirt.
• 1:40:04
  Our national pastime having a lively afternoon.
• 1:40:16
  Now for the batting order for Lou Brock.
• 1:40:22
  Astronauts Cooper and Conrad are completing their 20th orbit.
• 1:40:26
  And a high official project director, Chris Craft, has just held an enthusiastic news conference in Houston.
• 1:40:32
  He says officials are very happy about the progress of Jiminy 5,
• 1:40:36
  that the power situation is in very good shape.
• 1:40:40
  Without making a formal commitment, he indicates it looks very good for perhaps the full 8-day voice for our astronauts Cooper and Conrad.
• 1:40:50
  This throw to Brock is a strike on the outside corner.
• 1:40:56
  Now McGraw out of his windup, here's the fifth. Breaking ball over, strike two.
• 1:41:10
  The left side have Tom Parsons and Gordon Richardson getting ready in the bullpen.
• 1:41:16
  The fan Brock has to duck under, it's one ball and two strikes.
• 1:41:33
  Missing one and two, give away the foul ball off to the left behind the visiting dugout, it's one ball and two strikes.
• 1:41:58
  One-two delivery on Brock, a blooper hit towards short left field, it may drop in, everybody going for it, hit or drop it.
• 1:42:06
  Chuck Heller over the shoulder, made the grass up across the line and tried to bounce out of the way.
• 1:42:14
  Good play by Chuck. No runs, no hits, no errors, none left.
• 1:42:20
  At the end of five and a half innings, the New York Mets three in the favor of Cardinal Two.
• 1:42:25
  And now a word for our school brother game.
• 1:42:34
  When you're in for extra innings and you're smoking quite a lot and the cigarette you're smoking just doesn't hit the spot.
• 1:42:47
  It's time you change to cool, your cigarette's not tasting cold enough till you come up to cool.
• 1:42:57
  With rich tobacco, cool tight filter, extra coolness too.
• 1:43:02
  Discover extra coolness in your smoke slick cools come through for you.
• 1:43:08
  Discover the extra coolness, the refreshing taste of cool.
• 1:43:13
  You'll be smoking cool all the time once you come up to cool.
• 1:43:20
  Come all the way up to cool and taste the most refreshing coolness you can get in any cigarette.
• 1:43:26
  Smoke cool, filter team.
• 1:43:30
  Last half of the first inning, Johnny Lewis leading off for New York.
• 1:43:46
  Johnny has reached on a walk and flied to left number one.
• 1:43:54
  Ray Wanspurn winds, here's him to Lewis, in the fire, taking one ball and no strikes.
• 1:44:10
  Ron Swaboda is the undecided.
• 1:44:13
  Now the fast ball is outside the high two and oh.
• 1:44:16
  Johnny has a good eye at the plate, he leads the ball club by a wide margin and walks, and a fairly wide margin and runs scores.
• 1:44:31
  This thing's going to under a lead for the ball three for you nothing.
• 1:44:40
  Ron Hunt after collecting five hits in a double header, flying well in the field, making head first fliers on the bases.
• 1:44:48
  Being rested the remainder of the way by West Western. Now the three offense taking a half, all four, Johnny's on again with a one.
• 1:45:15
  Ron Swaboda has two for three and knocks it around in the first game and he's two for two in the fourth.
• 1:45:30
  Eddie Cranesville is out on deck.
• 1:45:34
  Now Phil White will hold against Johnny Lewis and first nobody out.
• 1:45:40
  Outside ball one, Johnny took wide a lead off first base. McIver took a look, he let the massive grind grow.
• 1:46:03
  He's got a pitcher in the way, hit hard, a face hit through the hole to left field. Johnny Lewis turns second, he'll pass there.
• 1:46:10
  Lou Bronson leads the ball back in to take growth.
• 1:46:13
  And Ron Swaboda is now three for three in this one and now he has five incidental headers.
• 1:46:27
  That's a real good comeback at this late.
• 1:46:34
  Eddie Cranesville coming up, Eddie has cringled in a run in the first inning, but struck out his second time up.
• 1:46:41
  And Eddie has two for four in the first ball game.
• 1:46:47
  The ball hitting has really perked up in this one today. That's one a thriller in the opening game.
• 1:46:57
  Jim Heckman as a fence hitter, a three run over of Al Woodishick, must came from behind with a five run eighth inning to win seven to five.
• 1:47:11
  Here's the pitcher on the way, that's ball of strike on the other back runner.
• 1:47:38
  Now Warchburn checks the runner. Rainbow Swerves around, doesn't offer and the curve is in for a called strike.
• 1:47:45
  So now Warchburn has a two strike count on Eddie Cranesville.
• 1:47:48
  He was trying to try and funnel over but thought the pitcher was out of the strike zone and the curve ball broke over.
• 1:48:00
  Dan Dennis is warming up in the Cardinal bullpen.
• 1:48:13
  Here's the two strike pitch, a point and a foul 50, just kind of a piece of it to stay alive.
• 1:48:20
  Warchburn in front of the count, two strikes, through Cranesville, a big curve that was downing.
• 1:48:33
  Bob Moorhead warming up in the New York Mets bullpen.
• 1:48:45
  Johnny Lewis the lead runner on second.
• 1:48:47
  The slow founder back to the mound, the play goes to third one, four year across to first base counting time.
• 1:48:54
  Johnny Lewis the lead runner is taking off the line. Warchburn fielding the grounder and throwing to Boyd.
• 1:49:07
  Runners on first and second one out, Bill Christopher coming up.
• 1:49:14
  Mets three and the Cardinals two, we're in the last half of the sixth set.
• 1:49:31
  Bill Christopher has lined hard to the right fielder Mike Jens and lined out into a double play.
• 1:49:53
  Three runs, eight hits and no errors, the Cardinals two runs, five hits and no errors.
• 1:50:20
  John Flauphota is now the lead runner on second, heavy Cranesville is on first.
• 1:50:25
  Cardinals have the infield, flying towards the middle looking for a double play.
• 1:50:31
  Breaking ball has failed to act up for Warchburn on the count of two balls and a strike.
• 1:50:44
  The two ball broke too late for Warchburn and he had Christopher scrambling to get out of the way.
• 1:50:58
  Now Warchburn with the first position, fires off the outside corner with a fast ball, three and one.
• 1:51:10
  David Farrow is beyond neck of the.
• 1:51:26
  The X-ray is taken as Cowley said, he was hit just above the left elbow in the opening ball game, they are negative.
• 1:51:33
  High fly to the right center, way back goes Mike Jensen, by the wall, he drops the wall for a face hit.
• 1:51:41
  Downing third heading home is John Flauphota, Strangler will stop at first.
• 1:51:56
  He hits 396 feet against the wall on the fly by Joe Christopher.
• 1:52:03
  With one man out the runners have to hold up to see whether it can be caught or not.
• 1:52:07
  As a result, Flauphota is the only man to score, he comes in from second.
• 1:52:12
  Break ball went from first to third on the double by Christopher.
• 1:52:16
  And Red J and Deans is headed towards the mat, he's had nine minutes warming up.
• 1:52:22
  A hit by Joe Christopher, scoring Ron Flauphota.
• 1:52:26
  The Mets now lead the card on four to two, we're in the last half of the third inning.
• 1:52:30
  And we are going to get a pitching game.
• 1:52:34
  Don Dennis is going to get the ball game to replace Ray Weisberg.
• 1:52:38
  Right here we pause for station identification, this is the New York Mets baseball network.
• 1:52:45
  Break ball for the best in music, for a comprehensively live on use reporting, stay tuned to WGY Connected A.
• 1:52:57
  Bob Murphy with Lindsey Nelson and Ralph Schaner from Shane City.
• 1:53:01
  The Mets after winning the opening game seven to five have now taken a four to two lead in the last of the third inning.
• 1:53:07
  The Cardinals are making a pitching change and while they do, let's check with Lindsey for the other ball game.
• 1:53:14
  Alright Bob, the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Cincinnati Reds this afternoon by a score of six to five.
• 1:53:21
  Jim Bunning got the win in 16th one of the season when Wagner finished up the ninth inning.
• 1:53:25
  The tour has started for Cincinnati, Ted Davidson in the first, Roger Craig with the losers.
• 1:53:30
  Gordon Goldman had a first inning homer for Cincinnati and Dick Stewart had an eighth inning homer for the Phillies.
• 1:53:36
  The edge in the home of breaking a five-five tie.
• 1:53:39
  The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Milwaukee Braves for the second consecutive day.
• 1:53:44
  They did it today five to four in the 11th inning.
• 1:53:46
  That's Don Cronle got the win in relief.
• 1:53:48
  Dan Osinski took the loss in the game.
• 1:53:51
  The Chicago Cubs beat Houston 3-1, Billy Hup the winner.
• 1:53:54
  Dick Perlman loses to Ryan Sando and Billy Williams has the Chicago Homers.
• 1:53:57
  Going to the bottom air for the seventh inning now, it's the Giants four on the Dodgers two.
• 1:54:02
  Sandy Kovac for the Dodgers.
• 1:54:05
  John Marichal charted for the Giants for the objectives of the ball game and Ron Herbaugh came on the fourth inning.
• 1:54:11
  Gav Peterson had a second inning homer for the Giants.
• 1:54:14
  Willie Mays had a third inning homer with two men on the 38th of the fifth for Willie Mays.
• 1:54:19
  He leaves the major league.
• 1:54:28
  The first camp for a doubleheader is Kansas City at the end of sixth inning.
• 1:54:30
  That's the Chicago White Sox four to Kansas City eight-two.
• 1:54:34
  The Chicago Lakers in the sixth inning, the Chicago Fitchers in the sixth inning.
• 1:54:37
  The Kansas City Acres in the sixth inning, the Dixon in the fifth inning.
• 1:54:40
  Roy Robinson and Andy Kater have had home runs.
• 1:54:46
  The Cleveland Indians defeated Washington eight-to-five.
• 1:54:50
  Gary Bell the winner on the five-to-loser.
• 1:54:52
  Detroit and Boston played only five innings at Fenway Park before the game was called because of rain,
• 1:54:57
  but it was an official ball game with Detroit winning two-to-one.
• 1:55:00
  Josh Baum with the winner and Dennis Vestaluta, Don Demeter had a second inning homer.
• 1:55:04
  And going to the bottom half of the sixth inning, the Los Angeles Angels are leading.
• 1:55:09
  The league leading Minnesota 22-1.
• 1:55:11
  Jim Gotts from Minnesota, Dean Chad for the Angels, Triasol Homan and the Triasol won on.
• 1:55:16
  Now back to action here.
• 1:55:20
  The Mets won the first game of today's doubleheader by a score of seven-to-five.
• 1:55:25
  The Mets are leading four-to-two and once again here's Bob Murphy.
• 1:55:29
  All right, Lindsey, first base is open as Don Dennis takes over and so this count is there all over three.
• 1:55:34
  The intention or one.
• 1:55:36
  That will bring us back in the draw with the bases loaded.
• 1:55:40
  Dennis relieved in the first game of this afternoon and in the eighth inning.
• 1:55:44
  With the Mets trailing five-to-two and Dennis on the mound.
• 1:55:48
  The Mets got four free hits on Dennis.
• 1:55:51
  They had two runs in to make it five-to-four.
• 1:55:54
  He left the game when it just came in.
• 1:55:56
  And Jim Heckman as a ten-fitter then built in a three-run homer to win the ballgame for New York 75.
• 1:56:07
  Don Dennis was 23 years old, he's out of Uniontown, Kansas.
• 1:56:11
  He started this year in the minor leagues of Jacksonville working as a relief specialist.
• 1:56:16
  He has been in 29 ballgames in relief and has chopped up 12 saves.
• 1:56:21
  He had an earned run average of only 1.4 for the Cardinals Friday Mucks and he has hit 12 in relief.
• 1:56:28
  Now Tuck McGraw is the batter with the bases loaded.
• 1:56:31
  And Bill White is really pulling in close at first to guard against the squeeze.
• 1:56:39
  Doug is 0 for 2.
• 1:56:41
  Has been up twice and struck out twice.
• 1:56:44
  A hit shot, nothing was on.
• 1:56:46
  Doug Bluff and Billy were going to square around and that's not for the hit shot.
• 1:56:51
  So it's one ball and no strikes.
• 1:56:57
  Eddie Crane, though, is the lead runner at third.
• 1:57:00
  Bill Christopher on second and a hit-down of 0 on first.
• 1:57:06
  Here's the hit but that's Dennis.
• 1:57:08
  Now ball back over to three.
• 1:57:10
  1-1 stretch.
• 1:57:39
  Delivery, looks like another hit shot.
• 1:57:41
  That's outside, two balls and a strike.
• 1:58:02
  Cardinal Enfield clasped tight on the edge of the grass trying to hit him off.
• 1:58:06
  A ground ball bounced to thick clothes.
• 1:58:08
  Faces over, steps on second, throws to Ferb.
• 1:58:11
  Out of double play, here comes an argument.
• 1:58:14
  Jogi Berra is really giving it to John Gibbler.
• 1:58:17
  Wess Westrom is on his way out.
• 1:58:19
  That's off to the next run.
• 1:58:21
  Drow was undecided at first how he wanted to play it.
• 1:58:24
  He elected to run to second, made the fourth play there and he threw on to Ferb.
• 1:58:29
  On a very, very close play.
• 1:58:32
  A ground was called out for the double play.
• 1:58:34
  And a red-hot Jogi Berra and an equally mad Wess Westrom are storming all over up there.
• 1:58:40
  John Gibbler.
• 1:58:42
  Cardinals getting their third double play of this ball game and that was a big one.
• 1:58:46
  It saved a run for New York.
• 1:58:51
  Wess Westrom has now been thrown out of the ball game.
• 1:58:56
  Wess arguing vehemently.
• 1:58:58
  Jogi Berra, the minute that call went against him, has really charged the Gibbler.
• 1:59:03
  Westrom came racing out and Wess has been thrown out of the ball game.
• 1:59:07
  In the sixth inning for New York, one run.
• 1:59:11
  There were two hits.
• 1:59:13
  No errors.
• 1:59:15
  And two left on.
• 1:59:17
  At the end of the sixth, the Mets four and the Cardinals two.
• 1:59:21
  And let me know when we'll be with you in just a moment to follow the action.
• 1:59:25
  Next you're going to hear a lullaby, but remember to stay awake for what comes next.
• 1:59:30
  The lullaby.
• 1:59:35
  The lullaby.
• 1:59:41
  Generations of Jewish children have been put to death with this lullaby.
• 1:59:46
  And often they stay awake, quiet as mice, listening to the party.
• 1:59:50
  This song brings back friendly laughing and the clink of bottle against glass.
• 2:00:07
  And today as yesterday, what's in the bottle is often rind mold extra dry.
• 2:00:12
  In fact, in New York City, which has the largest Jewish community in the world,
• 2:00:17
  more people than rind goals than any other beer.
• 2:00:20
  How come? We don't know.
• 2:00:23
  But we must be doing something right.
• 2:00:26
  The style.
• 2:00:36
  We're going to the top half of the seventh inning, but the Badgers, K,
• 2:00:39
  and Stenny have a thrilling threading there.
• 2:00:41
  This place here was a goal made in first place by John Schifter.
• 2:00:45
  He is standing all over the ballpark, waving white handkerchief,
• 2:00:49
  and continuing to move as Doug McGraw came out of the dugout to the mound.
• 2:00:55
  Through face-off mark, Ken Burkhart walked all the way over the first baseline,
• 2:01:00
  and by his gestures was saying to him, settle down, take it easy,
• 2:01:05
  because these fans are all up.
• 2:01:09
  Waving handkerchief, West Westrom was ejected from the ballgame by K
• 2:01:13
  before protesting the call.
• 2:01:16
  It was an extremely close play, and Dick Frode had a moment of indecision
• 2:01:21
  as to how he would play that ground ball.
• 2:01:24
  If he was in, and he didn't know whether he was going to play it
• 2:01:30
  to home or to go to the bag at second.
• 2:01:33
  He finally decided to go to second himself, touch the bag and throw on.
• 2:01:38
  And the minute the call was made, Yogi Ferro was out arguing the call
• 2:01:43
  falling first about Weston because of course he's caught to let the run
• 2:01:47
  with Grace Hold having crossed the plate.
• 2:01:50
  Now Frode is up to lead off on the card, no share on the top half of the gate.
• 2:01:54
  The next lead by Astora Fortesue, the demonstration continues,
• 2:01:58
  and here is the face.
• 2:02:00
  It's in there for a foul strike.
• 2:02:02
  All over the ballpark, now the fans are standing and waving
• 2:02:11
  white handkerchiefs and a few in the upper deck are waving white batters.
• 2:02:15
  And this continues all around.
• 2:02:18
  And here is the strike one pitch.
• 2:02:21
  It is on its foul, off and out of play, and it strikes two.
• 2:02:25
  This does not appear to be done with any particular mallet.
• 2:02:29
  It is being done by the fans to express their displeasure and their disagreement.
• 2:02:38
  Earlier this year there was a similar demonstration after Johnny Lewis was
• 2:02:43
  called out at the plate by umpire Chris Palakoudis.
• 2:02:47
  Palakoudis went over and stretched the forfeit small game.
• 2:02:56
  Here is the two strike delivery, and it's time for a ball, it's one and two.
• 2:03:09
  Doug McGraw has been in from the start of this small game.
• 2:03:16
  Delivers the one two pitch, going on a line foul into the deep and out of play
• 2:03:21
  from right field way, and the count holds at one and two.
• 2:03:40
  Two and two pitch, going on, and this is McGraw strikes out Dick Croak.
• 2:03:52
  Strikeout number four for Doug McGraw, and that's right,
• 2:03:55
  that's a true strike.
• 2:03:57
  He has been up three times without a hit.
• 2:04:00
  The latest news on the Jiminy 5 flight from the Neutron.
• 2:04:04
  Went into that 21st arm and it's high 52.
• 2:04:13
  Pitch is high and away from home.
• 2:04:29
  Again McGraw is set to work on the pitches in there for a call strike, one and one.
• 2:04:36
  On the Jiminy 5 space flight, space officials are increasingly optimistic
• 2:04:40
  about the faulty power system.
• 2:04:43
  It seems to be licking its own problems.
• 2:04:45
  All indications now are that the space crowd will continue for the full eight days.
• 2:04:50
  The latest news on the Jiminy 5 space flight.
• 2:04:57
  Now the one-one pitch and it's going on, it does for strike two, it's one and two.
• 2:05:03
  Van Silver standing all around the ballpark, waving wide action,
• 2:05:10
  and continues to move as a contingent of their expression of the attention
• 2:05:16
  of the call by John Skibler in her space.
• 2:05:19
  We repeat it is not to let this be a dump of any particular malice at all.
• 2:05:25
  Here is the one-two pitch, it's going on and popped up.
• 2:05:28
  That second base Bobby Klaus on the rim of the out to the fast makes the call
• 2:05:32
  and he makes the catch.
• 2:05:36
  Well there's a true man out and that will break up Jeff Moya.
• 2:05:41
  Moya had a two-run homer at the top of the third to tie the ballgame at that point.
• 2:05:49
  That candlestick mark in San Francisco where there has been an expression of amazement
• 2:05:53
  this afternoon, going to the bottom half of the eighth inning.
• 2:05:56
  The Giants are leading the Dodgers by a score of four to two.
• 2:06:03
  I hear the Mets are leading the Giants by a score of four to two.
• 2:06:06
  The Mets won the first game, 75.
• 2:06:09
  There's a fast ball of them, Moya cutting down the lane from all-out.
• 2:06:18
  There is no rain, or is there any immediate threat of rain at this moment?
• 2:06:22
  Have we had any rain delays throughout the afternoon?
• 2:06:26
  Oh, we have had some rain sometimes, it's not very light.
• 2:06:36
  Here's the one-o for Guajada at the top of town.
• 2:06:40
  But he'll hear the dugout of the Cardinals and coming over his counter,
• 2:06:43
  saying, oh he can't get good hits on top of the Cardinals' dugout.
• 2:06:48
  I am Mark Carver, who is at Sepp & Kecher by trade,
• 2:06:52
  moves up to the second-candidero on the step and acts, I would say, of professional courtesy.
• 2:06:59
  He goes to the foul ball, and it's one-and-one.
• 2:07:04
  He has the seal up all around with a white hat again.
• 2:07:40
  when the cry was, kill me young fire, same sort of thing.
• 2:07:53
  The Gound Suboria is one mile and two strikes, there are two men out,
• 2:07:58
  and it's off-hours of seven bits.
• 2:08:00
  A double pump this time, and the bit-pitch is way outside, two of two.
• 2:08:11
  The continuing noise of the crowd is punctuated from time to time by planes taking off from LaCorta.
• 2:08:20
  It definitely adds a little thrill to the jet.
• 2:08:23
  Out of two to delivery, this young boy,
• 2:08:29
  will run an underground mile back up there at glove by Chuck Hillings.
• 2:08:34
  Charlie Smith in the first stand, and the third ending with him,
• 2:08:38
  a bomb to the left elbow by a pitch ball thrown by Tracy Salas.
• 2:08:42
  It's considerable pain Charlie Smith left the game,
• 2:08:45
  but that's the odds for an X-ray, and the record ends if the X-rays are negative.
• 2:08:55
  Doug McGraw, left-hitting count of zero, and has the fast charge to motion, two to three,
• 2:09:00
  and a slow throw ball on a full count of three into the boy.
• 2:09:03
  It is now mostly the younger guys who are continuing the way back, just as set up to dead here.
• 2:09:19
  They have more energy.
• 2:09:21
  There you are, pitch ball on a trial back out of play.
• 2:09:31
  And those cardinal announcers end up moving back to Loush, who are at J Stadium.
• 2:09:40
  This is the nearest thing they have seen to the crowd at the four ring in Barcelona.
• 2:09:51
  Here's a pitch, one run at not some bounce, coming back.
• 2:09:56
  It'll be under three out of play, kind of where it takes it back.
• 2:10:00
  The out-of-holes four with three and two on four.
• 2:10:03
  Here we do have somebody on base.
• 2:10:05
  The last of that four runs on nine is from this game, and the guy throws two runs on five.
• 2:10:23
  Why is he bringing that out of the way?
• 2:10:26
  Here is the playoff thing.
• 2:10:28
  It's on the ground, it's a slow throw, and it's shortstop. McMillan has it, throws over, and it's back to the right.
• 2:10:35
  It's a close play in first place, and more to the ground.
• 2:10:39
  McMillan is the same over the run, so it's throwing it up and up.
• 2:10:43
  Towards the end, about six and a half innings in the match four, and the cardinal's two.
• 2:10:49
  Now you're going to give music to even 38 at five.
• 2:10:51
  If you want to take a little beer with it, that's all right with me.
• 2:11:11
  Oh hey, that's what we say, it's day today, and it's good that guy's a midday.
• 2:11:15
  And Bobby Cross up to lose off. He's coming up for his first nine.
• 2:11:23
  He's on in relief for Ron Hunt.
• 2:11:26
  Hunt had a binder year, getting five hits, three on the first game, two on the second game.
• 2:11:32
  And Ron Hunt, for a second out after the match, won a head and a four again.
• 2:11:36
  That's it, for the fifth and his moment, it's on the bounce of third.
• 2:11:43
  Ken Boyer comes up with it, across the middle wide, and he's down and out.
• 2:11:48
  Third and first. That brings up Roy McMillan.
• 2:11:54
  McMillan, that's true, his first game, and they don't have a trouble.
• 2:12:00
  It is the first game to drive in a run.
• 2:12:06
  That's one of the first games.
• 2:12:09
  And come from behind fashion, in the bottom half of the eighth inning, that's got five runs.
• 2:12:14
  And the big hit was a pitch homer, a three run homer by Jim Hickman over the right field back.
• 2:12:22
  And it's delivered to Mack in a shot shot.
• 2:12:25
  In that first game, there were a few strategy wheels turning.
• 2:12:28
  The left hand batter Johnny Stevenson announced him, and when they did,
• 2:12:34
  manager Ray Cheney in front of the left hand pitcher, Hal Woodishick,
• 2:12:37
  throw manager Wes Westrom, and set up his one to bat for Stevenson.
• 2:12:41
  And he hit a three run homer.
• 2:12:43
  This is him for a solid strike, fast ball is one and one.
• 2:12:48
  That's good, this is the percentage game, and that was one time,
• 2:12:52
  that's the percentage he's worked out, and manager Westrom's favorite.
• 2:12:54
  And the best one, that game, seven to five.
• 2:13:04
  One one pitch, and it's low, two and one.
• 2:13:09
  The lights are on, they turn on, that's early in the first game.
• 2:13:13
  That's good, you're okay, baby.
• 2:13:22
  Now the fans have turned to a cheer of let's go Mets,
• 2:13:26
  lending their energy in other directions than waving the white
• 2:13:31
  and then throw the St. Gibbons doll in first.
• 2:13:35
  This is him start off the back part of the glove off Jeff McArthur,
• 2:13:38
  three and one to make it.
• 2:13:55
  One man out and nobody on base.
• 2:13:58
  Here's the three one pitch, foul off, out hold at three and two.
• 2:14:28
  Nine minutes with the pitch, one run and foul back, out of play.
• 2:14:33
  Unconvinious three and two.
• 2:14:43
  The Marlinites and Dodgers will be here starting a big, big week of baseball.
• 2:14:49
  They're going to be here for the first time in a while.
• 2:14:52
  The Marlinites and Dodgers will be here starting a big, big week of baseball in Shade City.
• 2:15:04
  They are pitch, one run and foul shot.
• 2:15:08
  McCarmer gets rid of the match, he's in foul, goes right in and he makes the cut.
• 2:15:13
  McCarmer has fouled out to the catcher there at two man house.
• 2:15:15
  The Marlinites and Dodgers will be here starting a big, big week of baseball in Shade City.
• 2:15:35
  They are pitch, one run and foul shot.
• 2:15:39
  McCarmer gets rid of the match, he's in foul, goes right in and he makes the cut.
• 2:15:45
  McCarmer has fouled out to the catcher there at two man house.
• 2:15:48
  I will bring up Chuck Tiller who's playing third base in this game.
• 2:15:52
  Rides to right, wide construction into a double play, and rides to right.
• 2:16:17
  Tiller steps in, I step out of the batting box, and McCarmer is having a little equipment trouble for the moment.
• 2:16:24
  He's a little drunk with his mask and he's getting his strength out.
• 2:16:28
  Now, Tiller's in his wake.
• 2:16:32
  I'm working in relief, I'll start a radio wash for him.
• 2:16:35
  Here's a swing, a fly ball down the left field line, drifting on over towards the street since Fleischer fouled out of play.
• 2:16:48
  Dennis was the losing pitcher in the first game here this afternoon.
• 2:17:00
  Right one delivery, McCarmer is out in the ground, he's short, throws stuff with it, he plays across the first, inside.
• 2:17:23
  So, the side is decided in order, and the seventh inning, no runs, no hits, no errors, no laughter.
• 2:17:31
  The score here, the seventh full inning, and that's four in the title two.
• 2:17:37
  Now, let's check out the baseball action elsewhere.
• 2:17:40
  At General St. Mark and San Francisco, the Dodgers are coming to bat in the top half of the ninth inning, with the Giots leading them 4-2, and the Colfax fishing all the way for the Dodgers.
• 2:17:56
  Juan Marichal started for the Giots, and after the Mealy in the third inning, he was ejected and Ron Herbo came on.
• 2:18:03
  Marichal had hit Roseborough in the head with a bat, and started at General Mealy, and then Willie May is in a three-run homer that puts the Giots ahead, and they have maintained that 4-2 lead.
• 2:18:21
  So, Dr. Sivir has defeated the Cincinnati Reds 6-5, Jim Bunning the winner, and Roger Craig the loser. Pittsburgh Bears defeated Milwaukee 5-4, Dines Paul the winner, and Dan Osecki the loser.
• 2:18:35
  Chicago Cubs defeated Houston 3-1, Billy Hup the winner, Jake Farrell the loser.
• 2:18:39
  And right here, the Mets defeated the Cardinals 7-5 in the first game, with Gordon Richardson the winner and Don Dennis the loser.
• 2:18:51
  The American-Lake, the Yankees were scheduled for a doubleheader in Baltimore post-pone rain.
• 2:18:55
  First game of a doubleheader in Kansas City going to the bottom of the eighth. White starts 5, Kansas City 2, Cleveland beat Washington 8-5, Detroit beat Boston 2-1, and the game called at the end of five to catch up rain.
• 2:19:06
  At the end of seven in the Los Angeles Angels 4 and the Minnesota Twins 1.
• 2:19:12
  Right here, Bill White is up, Tom Averly 8 setting, and here's the 6. Going on at land at the right center field.
• 2:19:19
  Christopher is racing over to cut it off, comes up with it, and places it back into hole, Bill White to a lead-off single.
• 2:19:27
  That brings up Bill Gagliano, the second baseman of the Cardinals.
• 2:19:31
  Doug McGraw started, he's been in all the way for the Mets and the Devs.
• 2:19:38
  Gagliano has found a first line to ride and walk so far in this game.
• 2:19:50
  Rain blue rolls against the runners first, as McGraw is up and set.
• 2:19:55
  Takes to the right hand better, and he blocks the bunches if it blows from all one.
• 2:20:02
  Double barrel action now on the Mets bullpen as we unleash the eighth inning.
• 2:20:11
  The Mets trying to protect the two run lead.
• 2:20:17
  McGraw with the fifth, and it's in there for a called strike. Gagliano one and one.
• 2:20:23
  As we reported earlier, the X-rays on Charlie Smith's left arm were negative, but Dr. Peter Lamott, the Mets team physician, reports that Charlie will be out for several days with a swollen left arm.
• 2:20:35
  That is a blow to the Mets chances and the big game's coming up.
• 2:20:41
  One-one pitch, and it's low for ball.
• 2:20:46
  Jordan Richardson and Dave Eilish are throwing in the Mets bullpen. Eilish finished up, it's the last inning of the first game.
• 2:20:54
  With the Dodgers batting in the top of the ninth at Campbell's Sixth Park, Ron Herbill has been relieved by Massanari Murakami.
• 2:21:03
  The Dodgers are in the lead with a three-point lead.
• 2:21:09
  Massanari Murakami.
• 2:21:17
  Nobody out for the card share in the top of the eighth. Two-one pitch, going off, and fouled off in two-two.
• 2:21:34
  Doug McGraw is 20 years of age. This is his first season in the Major Leagues, and this is the longest that he has ever pitched in a Major League baseball game.
• 2:21:55
  Bill White leads it first. McGraw's two-two pitch, going on and hit in the air. The center field, Johnny Lewis overhead calling for it now, on the glove, and makes the catch.
• 2:22:07
  McGagliano flies to center, White returns to back it first. With one man out, Katjicem McCarver will be the batter.
• 2:22:13
  The cigarettes with extra coolness you can taste, that cool filter game, and this is a good time to discover that refreshing taste for yourself.
• 2:22:28
  The Nets are leading the cards here by a score of four to two. McCarver has fouled off to third base with Callenaut on strike, and Grounded out first base to the pitcher covering.
• 2:22:43
  Lift-hand pitcher working to her left-hand batter. He's playing a drive ball to second. Flowers gets it. Plays over to Max for one to throw to first down a double play. A double play, and it goes four, he's took three on the side as he died, and McGraw went over to cover and slipped down and started back to the mound.
• 2:23:01
  But the side as he died, and McGraw was all ready to go back and work a little more. Doesn't have to in this inning. No runs, one hit, no errors, none left.
• 2:23:12
  The score here is a seven and a half innings as the Mets four, the Cardinals two, now a word from cool filter games. Today most men throw cigarettes pretty much alike. You're in the Ors Mets station in the great northeast.
• 2:23:30
  This is Lindsay Nelson with Bob Murphy and Ralph Keiter here at Shea Stadium in New York. And the bottom of the eighth is Johnny Lewis up to lead off for the Mets, facing right-hander Don Dennis working in relief of watch for New Year's the picture of record.
• 2:23:45
  Tracy Salas started the first game for the Cardinals, but did not figure in the final outcome at all, as Dennis watched the losing pitcher.
• 2:23:53
  The winning home run was hit off left-hander Al Woodishick. Here's a bit low for a ball, but Dennis had left a few runners on for which he was responsible, and thus statistically he was charged with a loss.
• 2:24:07
  Here's a one-oh-fifth, and it's in there for a call strike, one and one.
• 2:24:22
  Ron Fomoto waiting on deck. One-one delivery to Lewis, and it's blown away. Dennis goes behind two balls and one strike.
• 2:24:52
  Here's two-one pitch, and it's outside for a ball, but Dennis goes behind three and one to Johnny Lewis.
• 2:25:11
  Here's a three-one pitch, and it's in for a call strike two. Lewis had started down towards first, took about one step. It's three and two now.
• 2:25:34
  They are a fifth run out in this, and Dennis strikes out. Johnny Lewis, one away here in the bottom of the eighth.
• 2:25:42
  Apparently we will have no further reports on the condition of Dodger Techie John Roseburg, who was hit two or three times by one Marichale of the Giants with a bat and left the field bleeding over the eye,
• 2:25:55
  because the door has been locked in San Francisco and the Dodger clubhouse, and newsmen are being barred for the moment.
• 2:26:06
  So we will have no further report until an announcement is made by the Dodgers.
• 2:26:13
  Up to now we've been in touch with the Dodger broadcasting booth and the Giants broadcasting booth, and the press box is candlestick.
• 2:26:27
  Here's the pitch in for a call strike, the runs for both of them.
• 2:26:37
  And here's the pitch, Tomahawta has popped up. It is in fair territory to McCarver at the moment. He comes across the line and makes the catch and foul territory.
• 2:26:48
  So it's Promota has bowled out to the catcher, two away, and that will bring up Ed Cranpool.
• 2:26:52
  Well, at candlestick park, the dressing quarters are fairly cozily located in that they are just across the hall from each other and one runway leads to both locker rooms.
• 2:27:07
  That ballgame will be drawn to a close at any moment now, and if there is any indication that they'd like to have at it again, they'll be close enough to start.
• 2:27:17
  Here's the pitch, and it's one on, and on they've got one big hop to gag, Leano in second, he plays over to White and the Mets are out in order here in the bottom half of the eighth inning.
• 2:27:29
  No runs, no hits, no errors, none left under George, the end of eighth full inning, there's a net four and the Cardinals two.
• 2:27:36
  Well, both the Dodgers and the Giants will be here at J.J. Williams in the upcoming week, and you'll have an opportunity to view them up close.
• 2:27:48
  Figgis are now on sale for any future game to be played by the Mets here at J.J. Williams this season.
• 2:27:54
  The advanced ticket window here is located at Essence D, and it's open seven days a week.
• 2:27:59
  There is a Mets ticket office at Central Venue Stadium, it's in the Long Island Railroad Waiting Room, it's open six days a week.
• 2:28:03
  There is a Mets ticket office at the Grand Central Terminal, at the foot of the 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue ramp, open six days a week.
• 2:28:12
  For Long Islanders, there is a Mets ticket office at Macy's in Huntington, Long Island.
• 2:28:17
  It is open during regular store hours, it's located in the Walt Whitman Shopping Center.
• 2:28:21
  Reservations can be made for functionally served seats at any of the Howard's closed stores, child restaurants, or Calico kitchens in the Greater New York area.
• 2:28:29
  We'll be going here to the top half of the ninth inning.
• 2:28:33
  The Cardinals are scheduled to send up Mike Shannon, the pitcher, and Lou Brock.
• 2:28:38
  Turn McGraw started, he has been in all the way.
• 2:28:44
  Needless to say, McGraw has never pitched a complete game in the Major Leagues, no one has he ever won a Major League baseball game.
• 2:28:51
  In the Mets bullpen, Dave Ireland, the right-hander Gordon Richardson, the left-hander, and the Cardinal bullpen, left-hander Hal Woodishake.
• 2:29:00
  Shannon has come out to lead off, and Ted Savage has come out on deck to bat for 10 hits, he was due up second in this inning.
• 2:29:20
  Mike Shannon is one for two and a walk, he's a right-hand batter. Facing left-hand, this is your turn McGraw with the Mets leading 42 going to the ninth.
• 2:29:36
  Here's a 1-0 pitch and it's outside for a ball. Our night, Don Drysdale will open up, there is for the Dodgers against the Mets.
• 2:29:44
  Larry Miller will be going for the Mets, as Matthew West-Westom likes to use left-handers when at all possible against the Dodgers.
• 2:29:54
  Because they go to speed and he figures a left-hander can hold the runners better, and also they at times have four switch hitters in the lineup, and he turns them around, makes them bat from the right-hand side, moves them a couple of steps away for his face.
• 2:30:05
  Here's a pitch high and away, 2-0 to the count for Mike Shannon.
• 2:30:18
  That's four runs on nine hits, and the guy knows that two runs on six hits.
• 2:30:23
  McGraw's 2-0 delivery, he's in there for a call strike, it's two and one.
• 2:30:38
  As you know, this has been a leaky day from early morning in New York, but we've had no rain delays at all, again charted on time. We have a paid crowd of 22,522 here this Sunday afternoon.
• 2:30:55
  Two runs in, and it's in there, fastball, call strike two, two and two.
• 2:31:06
  Shannon steps back to get a handful of dirt, goes up his sleeves and steps back in.
• 2:31:20
  That's McGraw's 2-2 delivery, in there for a call strike, it's two and five for strikeouts, number five McGraw.
• 2:31:34
  Here's Shannon looking, and now it is to Savage to bat for Don Bennett. Savage has done up 60 times, he's at eight hits, two doubles, one home run, four runs batted, and he's batting 133.
• 2:32:04
  This to the right hand batter, inside football one.
• 2:32:34
  And now here is the big blow, the setting of a bludger year for the final score in the Dodger-Giants game that has just been posted.
• 2:32:43
  The Dodgers got one run in the top half of the ninth inning, so the Giants have won the ballgame by a score of four to three.
• 2:32:50
  For the Giants, four runs on only four hits and one error. For the Dodgers, three runs on eight hits and two errors.
• 2:32:58
  The winning pitcher is Ron Herbill, the loser is Sandy Kovac. Here's the pitch to Savage, in for a call strike, it's two and one.
• 2:33:06
  Kat Peterson had a home run in that game, four of the Giants in the second inning.
• 2:33:09
  And Willie May, at the big home run, the three run homer, in the third, after the melee in which Marichal was banished and there was general skirmishing upon the playing field.
• 2:33:30
  Now here is the two one pitch, come on and foul back out of play. And it's a two two count.
• 2:33:40
  May is home run in that ballgame at Candlestick Park, came after the melee, which apparently unsteadied Sandy Kovac to the limit that he walked two minutes.
• 2:33:50
  And then May hit his three run homer. Dodgers rallied for one run that shot Herbill out of the game at the night as Muritami came on to finish up.
• 2:34:01
  And the mild score is the Giants four and the Dodgers three. Here's the swing of the drive in the left field for May, six for Sandy.
• 2:34:07
  Picked up by Promota and plays back. Gives the Cardinals a baserunner, he was one man out on the night and brings up Lou Brock.
• 2:34:21
  Brock is nothing but three and a walk in this game, he's a left hand batter.
• 2:34:24
  That's four, Cardinals two, so with the baserunner Brock represents potential tying run at the plate.
• 2:34:36
  Crane's little place behind the runner, it's furtive. The pitch is far ahead and hits his short.
• 2:34:44
  Taken by McMillan on the fly, throws the free throw to the middle, way! McMillan took that one off the shoot off.
• 2:34:51
  And here's congratulations all around for Serge McGraw, who gets his first make-up done.
• 2:34:57
  The first time he's ever gone all the way on a major league game at the age of 20. He has defeated the Cardinals by a score of four to two.
• 2:35:06
  That line drive was taken by McMillan off his shoot off and then he tried it over to double.
• 2:35:12
  Good damage at first base and in the ball game, in the top of the night for the Cardinals, no runs won it, nowhere is there none left.
• 2:35:28
  We'll be back in a moment with a final summary in totals. The Mets have swept the double header.
• 2:35:34
  Right now the final score of the second game, the Mets four, the Cardinals two.
• 2:35:38
  Yeti, you're always saying you sing it like this.
• 2:35:43
  Yedzia brought you the song that gets sung over and over at Polish parties and picnics until the singers raise a fearful thirst.
• 2:35:52
  Then they change their tune and you can hear it.
• 2:35:55
  Yedzia brought you the song that gets sung over and over at Polish parties and picnics until the singers raise a fearful thirst. Then they change their tune.
• 2:36:08
  Yedzia brought you the song that gets sung over and over at Polish parties and picnics until the singers raise a fearful thirst.
• 2:36:19
  Piwo, piwo is the traditional Polish call for beer and often it's Rangel extra dry they call for.
• 2:36:28
  In fact in New York City where there are more Poles than in all of Ski-Mitsa, more people drink Rangel than any other beer.
• 2:36:36
  Why do Polish Americans like Rangel? We don't know, but we must be doing something right.
• 2:36:49
  Well here at City Stadium the New York Mets on a rainy Sunday have swept the double header from the defending world champion St. Louis Cardinals by scores of seven to five and four to two.
• 2:36:59
  In the first game Tracy Salish started for the Cardinals, did not figure in the final outcome.
• 2:37:06
  The New York Mets won it by getting five runs in the eighth inning and the big hit was a three run homer over the right field bench by pitch hitter Jim Hickman.
• 2:37:14
  And the best one that was seven-five was Goins Richardson getting credit for the win, his first win as a New York Mets.
• 2:37:20
  And Donn Duhigg was charged with the loss. Charlie Smith was hit on the arm in the third inning by Salish, a pitch ball.
• 2:37:26
  And he was taken out of the ballgame later with X-rays. The X-rays were negative, but Dr. Peter Lamont said that Charlie Smith will be lost for several days and it will be a costly loss.
• 2:37:36
  Because Charlie Smith was leading the Mets in a number of departments including one Saturday night and has been playing a five-third base.
• 2:37:43
  In the second game the New York Mets started out against Ray Washburn by picking up two runs in the bottom half of the first inning.
• 2:37:49
  However, Jim Boyer evened the count with a two run homer in the top of the third. And with the Mets having Cud McGraw on the mound, he held the Cardinals' scoreless for the remainder of the ballgame.
• 2:38:03
  The Mets in turn picked up one run in the fifth when Ron Hutt got his fifth hit of the day and Roy McMillan tripled him home.
• 2:38:11
  That put the Mets ahead, would have been enough to win, but in the sixth inning they had another win for Volta, got his fifth hit of the day, the third in this ballgame, and Joe Christopher doubled him home.
• 2:38:23
  That was all the scoring in the ballgame. It's the first time the Mets ever have defeated Ray Washburn. He had a lifetime record of six wins and no launches against him.
• 2:38:31
  And it is the first win ever for a 20-year-old tug-of-war zone, the first time he had ever gone all the way in a Major League game.
• 2:38:37
  Final totals in the second game, for the Mets four runs on nine hits and no errors. For the Cardinals, two runs on six hits and no errors. The winner is Tug McGraw. He's won one and lost two.
• 2:38:47
  The loser, Ray Washburn, he has won eight and lost ten.
• 2:38:50
  So the Mets have won the Sunday doubleheaders and the St. Louis Cardinals, victories number 38 and 39 in this season for the New York Mets.
• 2:38:58
  Today's doubleheader was brought to you by Rhine Gold, New York City's largest selling beer.

  In all baseball land there are no mental fans, no grand fans, no mental fans.
• 2:39:40
  When we play other teams, oh what a curling screen that's got mental fans.
• 2:39:47
  But when mental fans don't go, what they need we all know, we've got no place to go.
• 2:40:02
  Be with us tomorrow night at 7.55 p.m. as the Mets meet the Los Angeles Dodgers.
• 2:40:10
  Our engineer today was Sandy Alford. Our statistician was Matt Winning. Our producer, Joe Gallagher, and our executive producer, Joel Bixman.
• 2:40:21
  Final scores again, the Mets win the doubleheader by scores of 75 and 42.
• 2:40:26
  So until tomorrow night speaking for Bob Murphy and Ralph Keiner, this is Lindsay Nelson saying so long.
• 2:40:31
  This is the New York Mets, baseball at work.
