  Hang on everybody, this could be the night that the Tigers take the tennis.
• 0:11
  A victory here for the Tigers.
• 0:13
  Our loss in Boston by the second place Baltimore Orioles will mean the 1968 America League Championship for the Detroiters.
• 0:21
  We've got a fine crowd, they're still coming in here.
• 0:24
  Excellent weather and a last minute picking change by the Tigers.
• 0:28
  Earl Wilson was scheduled to be the pitcher.
• 0:31
  He was warming up, felt a fringe in his right shoulder,
• 0:35
  and it was decided that Joseph Palmer would replace him as the Tigers starter against Stan Bunk.
• 0:41
  This is Ernie Harwell along with Ray Lane.
• 0:43
  Our engineer is Howard Sniptoe, and we are looking forward to the battle that may give the Tigers the tennis tonight.
• 0:52
  Right now we've got a message and then we'll be back with the starting lineup.
• 1:04
  Now for the lineup for the Stiglund-Hewsbury League.
• 1:07
  Okay Ernie, thank you very much and hello everybody.
• 1:10
  For the visiting New York Yankees leading off at second base,
• 1:14
  Horace Clark,
• 1:16
  Monty Sackett,
• 1:17
  and Tachin Jake Gibbs.
• 1:20
  the third hitter and first baseman, Mickey Mano.
• 1:25
  Bouting fourth, stationed in left field, Roy White.
• 1:30
  the fifth hitter and center fielder, Joe Pepitone.
• 1:37
  Bouting sixth, playing in right field, Bill Robinson.
• 1:43
  the seventh hitter and third baseman, Mike Ferraro.
• 1:50
  the eighth hitter and short drop, Gene Michael.
• 1:54
  And batting ninth, making the pitching start for the Yankees, Stan Bonson.
• 2:01
  To start the battle again for the New Yorkers, Bonson the pitcher and Gibbs the catcher.
• 2:09
  Now for the Detroit Tigers leading off at second base, Dick McCullough.
• 2:16
  Bouting second, stationed in center field, Mickey Stanley.
• 2:22
  the third hitter and right fielder, Jim Norquist.
• 2:29
  Bouting fourth, in left field, Willie Horton.
• 2:34
  the fifth hitter and first baseman, Norm Tash.
• 2:40
  Bouting sixth and catching, Bill Frehab.
• 2:47
  the seventh hitter, short drop, Tommy Macchett.
• 2:53
  Bouting eighth, and at third base, Don Wirt.
• 2:59
  And batting ninth, and making the pitching start for the Tigers, the right-hander, Joe Spana.
• 3:07
  And to start the battle again for Detroit tonight, Spana the pitcher, Frehab the catcher.
• 3:19
  Well, a little bit of a change in the starting assignments tonight.
• 3:22
  Earl Wilson scheduled a go for the Tigers on the bond.
• 3:26
  Earl came out, began to warm up, called his catcher and bullpen coach, Hal Maragon, to his side.
• 3:36
  Returned to the dugout, Spana emerged from the dugout, began to warm up.
• 3:41
  And we've had notifications from the training room that Wilson felt some clenches in the shoulder area of his floyd arm, and may have a sore arm.
• 3:53
  And so Joe Spana, who has been idle for some couple of weeks, first into action in the starting assignment tonight,
• 4:00
  trying to put the Tigers right on top as far as that American League tennis flag is concerned, clenching it tonight.
• 4:08
  And so a little bit ironic when you look back at the tough luck that Spana has had this season, not being able to be consistent.
• 4:19
  And tonight, the possibility of a strong pitching performance, if Joe can turn it in, to be a hero for the Tigers and helping them to clench the bent at tonight.
• 4:32
  Now the Tigers move out to their defensive position.
• 4:40
  Looking at Spana, this will be his 30th start of the year, his 32nd appearance of the season, and his 29th start to his completed six-ball game.
• 4:49
  He has won eight, lost 10, earned on average a 3.91 in 166 and one-third innings worth.
• 4:58
  Now gutters for our national anthem.
• 5:58
  They're talking about Spana and Joe making it official now, making his first start since September 2nd, with a second game for double-hudders.
• 6:24
  Now checking the record of a Yankee starter tonight, a fellow has had great success at a young career, and this year, for 1968, Dan Bonson has won 16-4th camps.
• 6:37
  And against the Tigers this season, one and all.
• 6:40
  Life mark in the Major League 17 and 11 for Bonson being around just a short time.
• 6:46
  Against the Tigers, as we mentioned this year, he's defeated them one time, and that stands as his lifetime mark of one and all.
• 6:58
  Tigers going pretty much with the same lineup.
• 7:00
  In fact, they are going with the same lineup they used last night when they dropped the Yankees 9-1.
• 7:06
  the Yankees are shaking up their lineup a little bit with Gibbs coming in as a catcher, Capitola tonight in center field,
• 7:12
  and there's Robinson in the right field, and Gene Michael getting the call at short drop, batting in the number 8 spot,
• 7:18
  as Michael playing the place of Tom Tresh, who is out of the Yankee lineup with Sparzens in the back.
• 7:27
  Some players are working this ballgame.
• 7:30
  Bill Kinnaman behind the play.
• 7:32
  That's Rusket, that's first base.
• 7:35
  Haksor, a second.
• 7:37
  And Nessie Kylak, a third base.
• 7:39
  Game number two of the three-game series, and it could be the clincher for the Detroit Tigers tonight.
• 7:45
  Stepping in, Horace Clark, the second baseman, once again, here's Ernie.
• 7:50
  Thank you, Ray Lane and Joe Sparman.
• 7:51
  And the very disorderly strike.
• 7:53
  We'll have a very enthusiastic crowd tonight as they are waiting for the Tigers to clinch the finish.
• 8:00
  It's been a great game all day long, and almost a capacity crowd at Tigers Stadium.
• 8:05
  Here's the fifth, gets the ball outside to Horace Clark.
• 8:09
  And we'd like to say hello to Tiger fans all around the world, this game being beamed by the Armed Forces Radio.
• 8:17
  Here's the windup and the fifth.
• 8:19
  He swings in the field, strike two on Horace Clark.
• 8:23
  He's holding the ticket too soon on a smoke serve.
• 8:26
  Clark batting 232.
• 8:29
  Special greetings to the people in the service of Uncle Sam, we're the United.
• 8:36
  Here's the pitch.
• 8:38
  Bring a line shot, right field, base hit.
• 8:40
  Drop it, comes to the glove side to field it, and Clark has let off the Yankee first inning with a single to right.
• 8:46
  Catch it, Jake Gibbs, the left-hand batting receiver from Mississippi.
• 8:51
  Steps in now.
• 8:54
  Gibbs batting 223.
• 8:57
  Boston got two in the opening inning, and they lead Baltimore 2-0 at the end of one.
• 9:02
  Red Sox 2, Baltimore nothing.
• 9:04
  A Red Sox victory will give the Tigers a finish.
• 9:09
  And they are one inning ahead of this game right now.
• 9:13
  Buckeye Joe Sperma on the mound, getting a surprise start.
• 9:16
  Here's the pitch, gets flung on and missed by Gibbs.
• 9:19
  Last time Sperma was in action was in September the 2nd, doubleheader Labor Day.
• 9:26
  That was out at Oakland.
• 9:29
  Clark has let off the Yankee first inning with a single.
• 9:32
  Gibbs being played in double play depth by the Tiger and fielders.
• 9:36
  Set by Joe, the right-hander looks over the first base.
• 9:39
  Clark has a good lead.
• 9:40
  the pitch, Gibbs swings, fly ball, set a field.
• 9:43
  Stanley racing back, he's there, he makes the catch.
• 9:46
  And going back to first is Howard Fox.
• 9:49
  Oh, there's one out, one on, and a great Mickey Mantle coming to back.
• 9:55
  Well, some say this may be the last series in Tigers' stadium for Mickey Mantle.
• 10:00
  the superstar of the Yankees.
• 10:02
  And listen to this round of applause as Mantle steps in.
• 10:13
  It's a very pleasant night tonight, rather warm for September in Detroit.
• 10:19
  Mantle batting left-handed.
• 10:22
  In field again in double play depth.
• 10:24
  There's no score.
• 10:25
  We're just underway in the opening inning.
• 10:26
  A man on first and one out for the Yanks.
• 10:28
  Strike call.
• 10:29
  Farmer's curve, got a car.
• 10:34
  Danny McRae will be the Tigers' pitcher tomorrow night against the Yankee ace, Mel Saddlemire.
• 10:41
  Farmer is appearing in his 31st game.
• 10:43
  He's 1-8 and lost 10.
• 10:48
  Not too long ago in a game in Cleveland, Joe had a few words with the male Smith.
• 10:53
  Now he's trying to win the hero's role.
• 10:55
  There's a bounding ball off the glove of McCallett.
• 10:57
  Back into short right, should have seen a Mantle is safe at first.
• 11:00
  Clark goes to second.
• 11:01
  the one hopper that McCallett's tried to short hop, he couldn't grab it.
• 11:05
  It hit the heel of his glove and bounded behind him.
• 11:07
  So the Yankees have two men on and one away.
• 11:10
  And Roy White, who's been their most consistent hitter lately, will be the batter.
• 11:16
  Right, another Smith batter hitting 275.
• 11:24
  And after White, it'll be the left-hander batting center fielder, Joe Capitone.
• 11:31
  In field, halfway up, and the pitcher White is fouled with a middle-bill freehand and out of it, strike one.
• 11:38
  Try to keep an eye peeled on that Baltimore Boston game.
• 11:42
  the Red Sox lead 2-0. the Orioles are batting in the second.
• 11:57
  Bounding ball up the middle, McCallett passes it over to Magic One, relay to Cag, double play by the Tigers.
• 12:08
  Short to first, the Tiger double play, forcing off the Yankee threat at the first half of the first inning.
• 12:15
  No runs, two hits, nor is there one man left.
• 12:18
  At the end of the half inning, it's the Yankees nothing, the Tigers are coming to bat.
• 12:24
  Well, the big double play, helping Joe Sparmer out of trouble.
• 12:27
  We've got a great crowd out here tonight.
• 12:29
  We've got a lot of loyal Tiger fans listening. We know that.
• 12:32
  We'd like to salute on the birthday today Mrs. George Steyer of Iowa, Michigan.
• 12:36
  She's a practicing seamstress in Faria.
• 12:39
  She reads four library books a week and roots for the Tigers in between.
• 12:43
  Mrs. Dahl-Sprow is 90 to 90, a fellow who lives here in Detroit, used to work at the stadium.
• 12:48
  And a wedding anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Hesley Edwards of Royal Oak.
• 12:53
  Also our get-well wishes to Willard Baker of Ann Arbor, Tom Smith of Holland, Michigan, Leona Law Muscogee,
• 13:01
  Jim Kinsella of Windsor, a great Tiger fan, not feeling too well,
• 13:06
  and Roy Moore of Ann Arbor who's been a tremendous Tiger fan for a long, long time, and we wish her best to him.
• 13:13
  Well, Mr. Stan Bonson has been a tough pitcher for the Yankees, especially in the late stages of this tennis campaign.
• 13:20
  He's on the mound now, ready to pitch to Dick McAllister.
• 13:22
  Mac batting 2-5-2, he takes a curve in for a strike.
• 13:26
  Bonson is a tall, thin right-hander whose ability to keep the ball down is serving him in good stead this year.
• 13:34
  He pitched last year to Syracuse, he's from South Syrobluff, Iowa, and he's only 23 years old.
• 13:41
  He kicks in the middle of the fastball, hit on the ground, but after they hit by McCollough,
• 13:46
  Mac is on the lead-off single here on the opening inning.
• 13:56
  Well, the Tiger backs have been booming in the last several days.
• 14:00
  They've been hitting well ever since they began to hit the ball to Ann Arbor in California.
• 14:06
  And here's the set-up here to Mickey Stanley with a 2-6-3 mark coming to bat.
• 14:11
  Baltimore did not score in the second inning, so Boston is batting in the last half of the second,
• 14:16
  and the Red Sox leading Baltimore 2-0.
• 14:24
  Stanley takes the fastball high, ball one.
• 14:29
  Big group from the American Airlines out here tonight trying to root the Tigers in.
• 14:34
  And also from the AAA.
• 14:41
  Set by Boston, Stanley waiting, here's the pitch, overhand fastball.
• 14:45
  Whoa, he threw that one hard.
• 14:47
  Right under the 10, 2-0.
• 14:51
  Ray, we've got a different view on this fellow than we did at Yankee Stadium,
• 14:54
  and he looks a lot faster from this point of view than he did in New York.
• 14:58
  Certainly do, Ernie, working back a great distance further from the home point area at Yankee Stadium.
• 15:03
  And right now he's stuffing up some bullets up there to the Tiger hitters.
• 15:09
  Fans won five of his last six starts. Four of them were a complete game.
• 15:14
  It's a strike, and he gave them a breaking pitch.
• 15:18
  Two and one, McAllen and Stanley.
• 15:22
  Mickey Mantle holding on the back at first, but Dick McCallum.
• 15:25
  No score, first inning at Tiger Stadium.
• 15:27
  Tigers need a victory to get the pennant, or they need a loss of Baltimore to Boston and Boston.
• 15:33
  Try, a fastball over 2-2.
• 15:36
  I had a little smoke on it.
• 15:40
  Yankees had their streak broken yesterday by the Tigers after taking 10 straights.
• 15:45
  the Tigers have now won seven in a row.
• 15:48
  That's their second longest winning streak of the year.
• 15:50
  They have their longest streak of nine.
• 15:53
  There's the ball. Them close on Stanley.
• 15:55
  And finally we've got the full count.
• 15:57
  Well, this will be interesting to see, but McAllen goes down the pitch and out here with nobody out.
• 16:02
  Northup waiting at the on-deck circle.
• 16:05
  Second baseman Clark yelling in their Boston.
• 16:08
  Now over to Michael. He's shortstopped.
• 16:11
  Outfield is straight up on Mickey with a deep eye on McAllen.
• 16:15
  Mickey Mantle holds on the back with him.
• 16:17
  Mack edges off.
• 16:18
  He goes. the pitch he's swung on and fouled off.
• 16:20
  He's set him on 3-2 and the ball is fouled to the dirt by Mickey Stanley.
• 16:28
  Caught up leading out for the single has now hit safely in the last seven games.
• 16:36
  Great turnout here tonight and it's a very enthusiastic crowd.
• 16:44
  They're testing the climate for the penitentiary right here tonight.
• 16:47
  Here's the set.
• 16:48
  Here he goes. Mickey's swung on.
• 16:50
  A line drive to right and it'll be a double play.
• 16:52
  the ball is caught by Robinson.
• 16:53
  the caught up already is rounded second and he'll be doubled off with an easy toss to Mickey Mantle from the right fielder Robinson.
• 16:59
  So the hit and run backfire is into a double play when Stanley hits a sharp line drive to right fielder Robinson.
• 17:05
  Two out, nobody on and the batter will be Jim Northup.
• 17:10
  He hit the ball right on the nose, but it went directly to the goal of the right fielder Robinson.
• 17:17
  Here's Jim Northup with a 2-62 batting average.
• 17:21
  Boston did not score in the second, so Baltimore bats in the third and Boston leading the bird 2-0.
• 17:31
  Jim takes the curve from Stan Boston in close.
• 17:42
  There's another curve that's going over one and one.
• 17:49
  the Tigers were all ready to celebrate last night, but Baltimore didn't cooperate.
• 17:53
  They beat Boston.
• 17:56
  the Tigers will have to do it tonight.
• 17:58
  There's a swing and a miss on a fastball.
• 18:00
  One and two, the count on Northup.
• 18:10
  No score, Tigers Stadium, last half of the first inning.
• 18:13
  Two out and nobody on but a joy.
• 18:15
  Stan Boston, B-A-H-N-S-E-N, kicks from the leaders.
• 18:19
  There's a close one, another fastball, 2-2, the count on Northup.
• 18:31
  Breeze is blowing across from the right field corner toward the left, about the same breeze we had last night.
• 18:37
  the curve, they can pile to the on-dack circle.
• 18:41
  Now the count is still 2-2 on Northup.
• 19:00
  Now he gets his final, ready to deal to Northup, the 2-2 count, low and inside, ball free.
• 19:06
  the infield has a foul on the third.
• 19:08
  Michael is at shortstop.
• 19:09
  Clark expects Maddow at first.
• 19:11
  Michael playing short because the foul catch is still not quite recovered from the muscles
• 19:15
  causing these toughenings yesterday.
• 19:18
  Here's a pitch.
• 19:20
  Swinging the bounding ball to Maddow, Deep at first has a big hop for the Boston,
• 19:23
  and he gets it in time for the out on Northup, retiring the Tigers.
• 19:28
  No runs, one hit, no errors, nobody laughed at it.
• 19:31
  the end of one inning, it's Detroit loving New York nothing.
• 19:35
  Well here's Mr. Pepitone against Mr. Sparmer, and the pitch is a strike call, a curve over.
• 19:41
  Joe Pepitone and Joe Sparmer, not too many seasons ago they had a few angry words directed toward each other.
• 19:48
  Pepitone batting 2-46.
• 19:51
  It's a ball high, he ran up to zip the box and an offer on the pitch, so the count is even on tap, one-and-one.
• 19:58
  Yankees got a couple of men on in the first inning on singles by Clark and Maddow,
• 20:03
  but then a double play killed them off.
• 20:05
  Here's the pitch.
• 20:06
  It's a ball low, two-and-one.
• 20:08
  Then the Tigers got a lead-off single by McCarlett, but he was a race in the double play on the X-Run maneuver.
• 20:16
  So we've got a scoreless tie in the second inning at Tiger Stadium tonight.
• 20:20
  Here's the windup by Joe, the pitch, fastball, swung on it into left center.
• 20:23
  Stanley racing over, he is on the run and makes the count.
• 20:27
  Oh, Ricky reached up and pulled that one in like he was picking a peach off a tree.
• 20:37
  Horton was coming the other way, but it was Stanley's ball and he made it fairly easily.
• 20:42
  So there's one out and nobody on.
• 20:46
  And here is Bill Robinson, the right-hand batting right fielder, hitting 238.
• 20:59
  That called a fastball over.
• 21:01
  He's got that one in above the knee.
• 21:05
  Stands on top of the plate. Robinson does.
• 21:08
  Outfield straight away.
• 21:11
  Here's the ball outside, one-and-one, the count on him.
• 21:14
  It will be followed by Ferraro, the third baseman.
• 21:20
  Then Michael bats number eight and they pick your bounce and it's a nice hitter.
• 21:24
  Fastball hits the left field, down in the corner, Willie Horton going over.
• 21:27
  He'll have room next to catch for the rest.
• 21:49
  Here's Ferraro batting now.
• 21:52
  the game is scoreless from the second.
• 21:54
  Joe Sparler ready to deal to wind up the pitch.
• 21:57
  It's a ball in close, the fastball.
• 22:01
  F-E-R-R-A-R-O, Ferraro.
• 22:08
  He takes one in close and the county's two-and-oh on him.
• 22:15
  Mike was born in Kingston, New York about as in Fort Lauderdale.
• 22:19
  That's where he broke into organized ball at Fort Lauderdale.
• 22:23
  He swings a high hopper over the mound.
• 22:25
  Each second of the base will call it.
• 22:26
  It has the hopper, so it's passing time for the out.
• 22:31
  Three up and three down for the Yankees.
• 22:34
  And their second at the end of one-and-one-half innings.
• 22:36
  New York nothing to George Stubbitt.
• 22:40
  the gentleman who's been a great bag of hero all this year, Willie Horton.
• 22:43
  He'll lead off against Sam Boggsum.
• 22:46
  Willie has a 288 batting average.
• 22:49
  He's leading the team in batting percentage among the regulars.
• 22:53
  He has 86 RBI at the top in that department.
• 22:56
  And he's also the home run leader.
• 22:58
  He has 36.
• 23:00
  Baltimore did not score in the third inning.
• 23:02
  Boston batting in the last half of third.
• 23:04
  And the Red Sox lead the second place Orioles 2-0.
• 23:13
  Here the redneck applause getting started from this big crowd all around us here.
• 23:21
  And Boggsum on the mound.
• 23:22
  Willie Horton ready to step in against him.
• 23:34
  Bow ball on the screen.
• 23:35
  Hit out of play after that of Willie.
• 23:39
  He was a little ripped at that one, but he's out of the way.
• 23:55
  In the middle of October Willie celebrates his 26th birthday.
• 24:03
  Bow the wide up by Boggsum.
• 24:04
  A pitch in close on the inside corner, right through.
• 24:09
  Willie was falling away from that pitch, but he got the corner on him.
• 24:13
  His home run total now is the greatest he's had in any one season.
• 24:17
  He came in the four ball minor league or major league.
• 24:23
  Not too many years ago he was a 14-year-old catcher who played here in Tiger Stadium in a high school game.
• 24:33
  Back through the count on Will.
• 24:34
  Here's Boggsum's pitch.
• 24:36
  It's a fastball high, a little bit to the outside of the play.
• 24:39
  One ball, two strikes.
• 24:49
  Van Boggsum's all ten right-handed, pitching to Willie Horton.
• 24:53
  This game is shorted to the second inning.
• 24:58
  Here's the pitch.
• 24:59
  Bring a foul ball, deep come out the foul.
• 25:03
  Oh, he got the timber on that one, but he pulled it way up there in left field.
• 25:13
  That one had that good, clean crack to it.
• 25:26
  I think he's got a single from McCallup in the first inning up there on the hit.
• 25:29
  the Yankees had a couple of singles in their first inning by Clark and Mamo, but there's been no scoring yet.
• 25:35
  So here's Horton leaning and waiting on the next delivery.
• 25:39
  Suck him out.
• 25:40
  He tried to hold off.
• 25:41
  He's gone too far on a breaking pitch.
• 25:44
  the first strikeout of the game.
• 25:46
  Norman Tack coming to bat now.
• 25:54
  Norman's had a hot pick lately.
• 25:58
  Texan batting 257.
• 26:03
  And freehand will follow him to the plate.
• 26:09
  No score, second inning.
• 26:11
  Fast ball outside on Norman Norman, ball one.
• 26:24
  There's a strike on the count, even one and one.
• 26:32
  the month of September now, the Tigers have won 12 of their 15 games.
• 26:37
  the Tigers in the livers and Cass takes the curve that's wide, 2-1.
• 26:47
  Well, tomorrow we'll see Denny McLean, tomorrow night.
• 26:51
  Sits against Mel Sadelmar.
• 26:53
  Denny will be trying for win number 31.
• 26:56
  Here's the 2-1 fix.
• 26:58
  Cass takes a curve over but low.
• 27:01
  Gimstadty had a strike.
• 27:02
  He turns around to question the play down by Bill Kennaman for a moment.
• 27:06
  And it's a 3-1 count on Norman Tack.
• 27:11
  McLean can win tomorrow.
• 27:13
  He'll be the first major big pitcher since Leslie Grove to reach that 31 mark.
• 27:24
  Here's the windup now.
• 27:25
  the fix to Norman.
• 27:26
  Swung on a line shot to that field for a hit.
• 27:30
  Packing up the pick to give on 2-0.
• 27:32
  Here's the off field to White.
• 27:33
  Gimstadty has the second Tiger hit.
• 27:36
  Bill Freehand coming to bat.
• 27:39
  Bill is at play for him in the last seven games.
• 27:47
  Moves his average to 263.
• 27:49
  the Tigers have seemed a bit better this week than they have all season long.
• 27:54
  And their team batting average has risen six points in the last two weeks.
• 28:02
  No score in Tiger Stadium.
• 28:08
  Bonson, steps and 50s.
• 28:09
  It's a curve over above the knee.
• 28:12
  He had a big motion, a big kick, and the curve ball came in very slow.
• 28:16
  A neat changeup curve got across.
• 28:21
  Mantle holding on to that with Tack.
• 28:25
  Swing and a miss.
• 28:26
  Strike two.
• 28:27
  You ever notice how much those colors sound alike, catch and mantle?
• 28:33
  They're both from the same part of the country.
• 28:35
  Yeah, same quality in their voice.
• 28:40
  They're subtle alike too, don't they?
• 28:45
  Strike two.
• 28:46
  That's a count on Freehand.
• 28:49
  Bowled all out of play in the deep lower deck past the Yankee dugout.
• 28:55
  Norm, very active at least in the off season the past two years with cattle.
• 28:59
  I don't know whether he sold them all off or not.
• 29:01
  I don't know whether Mickey ever invested in the cattle game or not.
• 29:03
  Mickey went into the hotel business for a while now, taking some of the chicken business.
• 29:09
  Country kitchen.
• 29:11
  Mr. Tack has gone into the banking business.
• 29:13
  Banking business.
• 29:14
  We know where to get a loan now.
• 29:15
  From now to Texas.
• 29:16
  Perfect name for that business.
• 29:17
  Strike two.
• 29:26
  Freehand has a new bat stepping in.
• 29:29
  No score in second inning.
• 29:32
  One out, one on.
• 29:33
  A foul ball lined out of play down toward the Tiger Bull fans.
• 29:47
  Youth supply baseball.
• 29:49
  A little bit of a miss there.
• 29:50
  Gentlemen behind the plate.
• 30:00
  Get my Bonson the pitch, he takes the ball.
• 30:03
  One ball, two strikes.
• 30:07
  Terrific crowd tonight in the upper bleachers.
• 30:09
  One of the best turnouts here we've seen all season.
• 30:19
  No score in the second.
• 30:20
  Here's the set.
• 30:21
  Here's the pitch.
• 30:22
  It's a ball in close.
• 30:23
  That one had a little extra speed on it.
• 30:25
  Bonson seems to rear back once in a while and get a little extra on the pitch.
• 30:30
  Through that tight pitch to Stanley in the first inning and right there in freehand got one of that variety.
• 30:36
  Two-two to count on Bill.
• 30:38
  Jack John first, Mantle holding on the bag with him, one man down.
• 30:43
  Here comes, he swings and fouls it out of play.
• 30:46
  Time to change up fairly well but then foul it up.
• 30:50
  Here's a drive for that field, not deep enough.
• 30:53
  the strike is over in the corner of Exojet.
• 30:56
  Freehand is out and Cash comes back to first base.
• 31:01
  So the Tiger batter will be Tommy Magic.
• 31:05
  Short stop.
• 31:07
  Two out and one on.
• 31:12
  Boston did not score in the third so the Red Sox continue to lead Baltimore 2-0 with Baltimore batting in the fourth inning.
• 31:25
  the Pennsylvanian, Tommy Magic, in the plate hitting 2-0-7.
• 31:31
  It's a ball all the way, ball one.
• 31:34
  Well, we're glad to have Bob Rebels, the WJR, the sports director,
• 31:38
  Paul Carey, the assistant sports director.
• 31:42
  He got a timid end up here tonight.
• 31:44
  Here's a foul ball out of play.
• 31:46
  We can't miss the hay too much.
• 31:48
  Just one on each side.
• 31:52
  One and one, that's a count on Tommy Magic.
• 32:02
  No score.
• 32:03
  Neither team able to break through yet.
• 32:05
  the Yankees had a mild threat going in the opening inning and a double play killed that off.
• 32:10
  Tigers have had a couple of runners in that draw.
• 32:12
  Bonson delivers and Magic takes the fastball outside.
• 32:15
  Two-one.
• 32:20
  You may remember that Earl Wilson was scheduled to be the starting pitcher tonight for the Tigers.
• 32:24
  He came up with a twinge in the shoulder as he warmed up and Palmer was in sub to spoil.
• 32:29
  Here's a five-ball to left. It'll slice the foul territory out of play.
• 32:36
  Down in the corner and over the Tiger both back.
• 32:42
  Both Carrick coming back to the first base now.
• 32:44
  Magic returning to the plate.
• 32:52
  Two balls, two strikes, two outs.
• 32:54
  It's the second foul of the second inning. Number two is back.
• 33:00
  And a hit three, then two-two.
• 33:02
  Here's the pitch. Playing on a miss, he struck him out.
• 33:06
  That's the second strikeout at an end to the inning with no runs, one hit, no errors, and one man left.
• 33:13
  Now at the end of two in Tiger Stadium, Detroit loving, New York loving.
• 33:22
  And Michael, the six batting shortstop, will lead off one-time Dodgers.
• 33:26
  He was in the minor leagues about ten years before he made it from the Dodgers in 67,
• 33:30
  and then after one year there, he was traded through the New York Yankees.
• 33:34
  We're getting a little bit of a drizzle here at Tiger Stadium now.
• 33:39
  All the weather reports had told us that it wouldn't rain, but we're getting a drizzle now.
• 33:44
  From all outside, Michael, here's a pitch by Palmer's tight call.
• 33:49
  This is a very light rain at the moment. It doesn't seem to be bothering anybody too much.
• 33:54
  A few umbrellas have sprouted around the box seats.
• 33:59
  Now the windup by Joe, the pitch is a strike. He gave him a curve of car.
• 34:04
  One ball, two strikes on Michael. Michael hitting two-oh-two for the year.
• 34:14
  Palmer, the right-hander from Ohio State, a fast ball hit on the ground, passed the mound.
• 34:19
  A shortstop match. It's near second. Dodgers throw the catch. He's got it.
• 34:23
  One up and one out. And the batter now will be Stan Bonson, the pitcher.
• 34:29
  Bonson batting 0-56. He's the right-hand batter.
• 34:40
  Now that little rain, they just about left it.
• 34:49
  Tight call. Fast ball high.
• 34:52
  It's like one of those afternoon rains in Hawaii.
• 34:57
  Here's the windup now by Joe, the pitcher on the way.
• 35:00
  Strike on the outside corner. One-on-one on the pitcher, Bonson.
• 35:04
  This game is schooled. the Yankees are batting in the third.
• 35:09
  Maybe the planet clenched it tonight. Here's the pitch.
• 35:13
  Swing pop-up into the middle of the diamond, near the mound.
• 35:15
  Cash is calling for it. Just the first base out of the mound.
• 35:18
  Makes the catch for the out.
• 35:20
  So they are two up and two out. And the batter will be Clark who started the game of the singles.
• 35:29
  Harris-Clarke, another swift batter.
• 35:36
  Third year for the Yankees for this young man from the Virgin Islands.
• 35:44
  Waiting on farmers to deliver. Here comes. He takes the fast ball over the way.
• 35:56
  No score on the third.
• 35:59
  There's a pick and close, 2-0.
• 36:02
  Anything on Baltimore in the fourth inning yet? They're still batting.
• 36:06
  Baltimore is still batting at Boston.
• 36:08
  And the Red Sox have a 2-0 lead over the Orioles.
• 36:13
  Swing and a top foul between third and the hole.
• 36:15
  Wirt will have the room in front of the dugout.
• 36:18
  Makes the catch, finally foul.
• 36:22
  Nothing of cost for the second straight inning for New York.
• 36:25
  And at the end of the two and one-half inning, New York 7 to 2 are starting.
• 36:31
  Now here come the Tigers to bat now.
• 36:33
  And the third, Don Wirt, will lead off against Stan Boston.
• 36:36
  the game is scoreless. the totals are even right now for the two and a half innings.
• 36:40
  For each side, it's no runs, two hits, and no errors.
• 36:43
  Baltimore did not score in the fourth inning.
• 36:46
  So Boston is batting in the last half of the fourth.
• 36:48
  And the Red Sox lead. Baltimore 2 to nothing.
• 36:53
  Here's the little Pennsylvanian, Don Wirt, coming to bat.
• 36:56
  It will be followed by Joe Farber and then the top of the batting order, Nick McCarver.
• 37:01
  the work average is 198.
• 37:07
  Boston, Warrantons, and Fifties, and Wirt takes the curve in the dirt.
• 37:11
  Ball one.
• 37:25
  Tigers got a single from McCarver leading off from the first inning,
• 37:28
  a one-out single by Cash, and the second, they've not had a man pass first base against Boston yet.
• 37:35
  Now Don, waiting on the next pitch by the Yankee right-hander.
• 37:39
  Here it is, a curve over first site.
• 37:46
  Tigers have suffered four straight defeats only one time,
• 37:49
  and they did that at the hands of the Yankees this year.
• 37:52
  Here's the trick. It's a ball high, another breaking ball, two and one to count.
• 38:04
  Nobody out and nobody out in the third. No score yet.
• 38:07
  There's a bounding ball wide at third.
• 38:09
  Ferraro gloves it, fires over the mammal in time, and Wirt is out.
• 38:13
  the third baseman had to go wide to the glove side to make that play.
• 38:17
  Hey, don't go get them Tiger bumper stickers.
• 38:19
  You're going to be free of charge at your nearest bank, at the National Bank of Detroit.
• 38:30
  Now here's Farmer, who was bruised lustily before the game started,
• 38:33
  and now they are cheering Joe as he steps into that.
• 38:42
  Batting average, 107 for the Tiger Hurley. It's a strike, he took a curve across.
• 38:56
  One out and none are, no score.
• 38:58
  Fast ball hit on the ground to second base from the clock.
• 39:00
  Gobbles it up, throw over to Nicky Mantle in plenty of time.
• 39:03
  Two up and two men are out, and here comes McAuliffe, who has one of the two Tiger hits.
• 39:33
  Nick takes a curve that's too high, ball one.
• 39:43
  Nothing to batting, that's where it stands at Tiger Stadium.
• 39:45
  the Tigers have the bases empty and two down.
• 39:48
  So far, Bonson and Farmer are dueling away at each other.
• 39:52
  Now the motion by the Yankee pitcher.
• 39:54
  the pitch is a strike called, ever high fast ball.
• 39:57
  One and one, that's the count on that.
• 40:01
  the Yankee hits a single by Clark and a single by Mantle.
• 40:05
  On the Detroit hits, a single by McAuliffe and a single by Catt.
• 40:13
  Mack takes the ball, oh, two on the count.
• 40:16
  That was a fast ball from Stan Bonson.
• 40:30
  Now the windup by Mr. Bonson.
• 40:32
  the pitch is very high, a fast ball, three and one.
• 40:47
  Two down and nobody on the Tigers trying to get something started against this Yankee pitcher, Stan Bonson.
• 40:53
  That's Stan alliance, kicks the livers, it's a strike, a curve, a stop to McAuliffe.
• 40:59
  Shaking his head, turning and looking at gentlemen.
• 41:03
  And it's a full count on Mack.
• 41:08
  Each team with no runs to it, to no errors.
• 41:15
  Now Bonson is slowed up a little bit.
• 41:17
  Mack, back at the batter's box, waiting on a full count pitch.
• 41:20
  He swings and calls it out of play.
• 41:23
  Then over to the Yankee broadcasting booth, and it almost got the Yankee broadcaster Frank Nessar.
• 41:36
  Frank giving him the white handkerchief of surrender after that one.
• 41:44
  That was sort of a changeup curve.
• 41:45
  Mack waited and waited and waited too much and then fouled away.
• 41:48
  And a 3-2 pitch again, swung on a bounding foul ball on the ground down past Lonnie Moses.
• 41:53
  So it's still 3-2 on him.
• 41:59
  Great turnout tonight.
• 42:02
  Maybe a few of them still on the freeway coming into this.
• 42:15
  Now the motion by Bonson and the pitch.
• 42:18
  Mack swings the bounding ball on the right side, drives by Clark, they pick up, throw to Maddell, he's down.
• 42:23
  A fine play by Harris Clark.
• 42:25
  He went deep to his left, almost on the grass at right field.
• 42:28
  Grabbed that ball and another run through to Mickey Maddell and time to get to McAuliffe.
• 42:32
  Nothing across for the Detroiters, and at the end of three, New York-Thunder, Detroit-Thunder.
• 42:38
  No score in this time of stadium battle.
• 42:40
  We're going to the fourth inning now.
• 42:42
  Great play, good to join all you folks, and we'll all enjoy hearing from Lealee.
• 42:46
  Thank you, Ernie, and once again, hello everybody.
• 42:48
  Jake Gibbs, the Yankee catcher, steps in now.
• 42:51
  Left-handed hitter.
• 42:52
  Jake over one tonight, flying off the center field.
• 42:55
  As Joe Spada goes into the motion, here's the pitch.
• 42:58
  He's high with it, throw to Watt.
• 43:03
  the Yankees tag Spada for a couple of hits in the first inning.
• 43:06
  A single by Clark and a single by Maddell.
• 43:10
  That's that it.
• 43:12
  Flow curve is high, two and all.
• 43:14
  the catcher, Jake Gibbs, to be followed by Maddell and Monroe-White.
• 43:22
  Blomberg getting the call tonight.
• 43:24
  Manero Wilson, when he began to warm up, little twinge in the drawing hour.
• 43:29
  Twingy in the middle.
• 43:33
  Gibbs went after a fastball around the middle to cap that shot.
• 43:37
  the ball's blocked his protective batting helmet on a follow-through.
• 43:41
  Good one, McHugh.
• 43:46
  Flying the ball towards right.
• 43:50
  Here's the pitch from Spada.
• 43:51
  Bring it to the net, that's a hard curve ball, two and two.
• 43:56
  the Orioles did not score in the top of the fourth nor the red sox.
• 44:00
  So after four innings of play, Boston two, Baltimore another.
• 44:05
  Now the 2-2 pitch, service inside back to Mars.
• 44:08
  That one has about three and two.
• 44:14
  Now the 3-2 pitch, fastball heading to right center field.
• 44:17
  Moving over is Northam and Stanley. Stanley to center field and makes the put out.
• 44:24
  Stanley roamed to his left and that one.
• 44:27
  Now hits too deep, one out.
• 44:31
  Here's McEmanals.
• 44:41
  Maddow with a spring of the first inning batting left at it now against Joe Spada.
• 44:47
  Here's the pitch to the next.
• 44:48
  Ground ball, head to the left of McCallop, has it at the edge of the right field.
• 44:51
  That's the first in kind.
• 44:54
  McCallop after he went far to his left on the grass in right field.
• 44:59
  the second baseman came around and fired a shot to the guy.
• 45:04
  He got the cue away.
• 45:08
  And Norman better look at that old glove hand there.
• 45:10
  It might be stringing inside.
• 45:11
  That was thrown pretty high Joe.
• 45:16
  Here's Roy White, the left fielder, flick hitter batting left.
• 45:19
  That's a good spotter.
• 45:20
  Here's the pitch to him.
• 45:21
  It's low, a curve ball, ball wide.
• 45:24
  Yankees in the lineup tonight, Clark a flick hitter, Mantle, White.
• 45:28
  And Michael, short shot.
• 45:34
  the one-all pitch fastball hit on the air into center field.
• 45:37
  Backing up into his right of Stanley, still backing up.
• 45:39
  He's there now and he makes the guess.
• 45:41
  White flies out to center field.
• 45:45
  Yankees go down one, two, three on the fourth inning.
• 45:47
  And after three and a half innings of play, it's still Detroit nothing, New York nothing.
• 45:52
  Good morning.
• 45:54
  There come the Tigers, bottom of the fourth inning.
• 45:56
  No score in the ball game, no sculling off.
• 45:58
  But there are a number of two men in the lineup, Mickey Stanley.
• 46:01
  He'll be followed by Jim Northrop and then Willie Horton.
• 46:05
  Tigers with a victory tonight, could clench the American League tennis.
• 46:08
  Or if Baltimore were to lose their game in the Red Sox tonight, the Tigers would still clench that tennis.
• 46:15
  Bonson into the windup, here's the pitch.
• 46:17
  Ooh, a fastball, one on the miss.
• 46:20
  Back wide.
• 46:21
  Oh, he is a flamethrower.
• 46:23
  He's a very strong-listed Bonson. He can fire the password.
• 46:29
  One strike to Captain Stanley.
• 46:31
  Yankee right-handed into the windup, but the curve is low.
• 46:34
  One to one.
• 46:36
  There come the Tigers, bottom of the fourth inning.
• 46:38
  No score in the ball game, no sculling off.
• 46:40
  But there are a number of two men in the lineup, Mickey Stanley.
• 46:43
  He'll be followed by Jim Northrop and then Willie Horton.
• 46:47
  Tigers with a victory tonight, could clench the American League tennis.
• 46:50
  Or if Baltimore were to lose their game in the Red Sox tonight, the Tigers would still clench that tennis.
• 46:57
  Bonson into the windup, here's the pitch.
• 46:59
  Ooh, a fastball, one on the miss.
• 47:02
  Back wide.
• 47:03
  Oh, he is a flamethrower.
• 47:05
  Young Mr. Bonson, he can fire the password.
• 47:10
  One strike to Captain Stanley.
• 47:13
  Yankee right-handed into the windup, but the curve is low.
• 47:16
  One to one.
• 47:18
  Tigers with one more game to go against the Yankees.
• 47:27
  That'll be tomorrow night.
• 47:29
  Denny McClean against Mel Pfeffermeyer.
• 47:32
  One-one pitch is in there for a strike.
• 47:34
  A curve ball up the mother.
• 47:36
  One and two.
• 47:38
  Almost jammed back out here at Tiger Stadium tonight.
• 47:42
  Now to one-two delivery.
• 47:49
  Fastball is low and inside.
• 47:51
  Two and two.
• 47:53
  Bonson easy motion.
• 47:57
  He goes back before delivering that ball.
• 48:01
  Very easy motion going back with the arm in on it.
• 48:04
  He really guns that ball up the plate on the fastball.
• 48:07
  the next pitch, curve ball, one hop right back to the pitcher, left it.
• 48:10
  That's the first and that's all for Stanley.
• 48:12
  Bouncing out, pitcher to the first baseman.
• 48:15
  Bonson to the mantle, one hop.
• 48:17
  That'll bring up Jim Notchup.
• 48:20
  And we had a cute cartoon, a hand drive, sent in by a youngster today.
• 48:25
  Quite a nice drive.
• 48:27
  A good-looking Tiger there with a Tiger baseball cap on it.
• 48:31
  Bucket next to him says, Colonel Tiger's Kentucky flag cardinals.
• 48:35
  And it's looking good.
• 48:41
  Here's Notchup over what?
• 48:43
  Lays off the high pass when ball was.
• 48:50
  On Jack Willie Horton.
• 48:53
  the one-oh pitch.
• 48:55
  James gets it low.
• 48:56
  Two and oh.
• 49:00
  Tigers with a couple of hits off of Bonson and single by McCallum in the first inning.
• 49:04
  A single by Cash in the second.
• 49:09
  A two-oh pitch.
• 49:10
  the curve that hangs high.
• 49:12
  They've also strikes the captain, Notchup.
• 49:16
  the Baltimore Orioles did not score in the top of the fifth inning.
• 49:20
  After four and a half hundred to play it still, the Red Sox 2, the Orioles nothing.
• 49:30
  Now the three-oh pitch in there for a strike in the passman.
• 49:44
  Bucket inside, a clean ball for.
• 49:48
  Thompson gives up his first walk of the evening.
• 50:06
  Willie Horton stepping in the batter's box, digging in with that foot.
• 50:10
  Trying to get a good hold on the batter's box, not stepped out.
• 50:16
  Looked out at Kichadello, talking a third.
• 50:20
  Mantle playing at the bag against North of the first base.
• 50:24
  Filled with a fairly good size play right now.
• 50:28
  Now it's up to Gale, Bonson checks out the runner to the pitch.
• 50:31
  It's low ball one.
• 50:34
  What a year young Mr. Horton fed for the Tigers.
• 50:37
  Came into the ball game batting 288.
• 50:40
  Running fourth in the American League batting race.
• 50:45
  Runs that it in 85.
• 50:48
  Home run 36.
• 50:54
  Sets himself in the batter's box again.
• 50:56
  They're set by Bonson.
• 50:57
  No one to hold pitch.
• 50:58
  Turn it in there for a strike.
• 51:01
  Willie started to go and then laid off of it.
• 51:03
  Did not really fling.
• 51:05
  Picked the stride towards the pitch.
• 51:06
  Was at the letter, inside part of the play.
• 51:08
  What a loss.
• 51:11
  Norm cash on the.
• 51:23
  With the 36 home, he ranks number two.
• 51:25
  Home run, brother.
• 51:26
  Ranks number two in the American League.
• 51:27
  It's flinging a bit.
• 51:30
  Went after a pitch at the knees outside part of the play.
• 51:32
  What a view.
• 51:53
  Horton now back in that batter's box.
• 51:58
  Set by Bonson.
• 51:59
  One, two, pitch, fastball, look out, foul ball.
• 52:02
  Just getting a piece of that.
• 52:04
  Broadcast, look at that.
• 52:06
  This is course directed.
• 52:08
  WJR, Paul Cleary almost had one.
• 52:11
  There's a piece of ball.
• 52:12
  Another piece.
• 52:14
  No net, Paul.
• 52:21
  That's why we get hazard pay up here.
• 52:30
  Drops, one ball, two strikes.
• 52:35
  North of on the first base, one out.
• 52:39
  So one, two, pitch again.
• 52:41
  Fastball, half fling after.
• 52:43
  And Willie foul-gipped it.
• 52:45
  Back into the net again.
• 52:46
  Willie is standing there.
• 52:47
  Did not think he went over on it.
• 52:49
  But quite on fire, Bill Gennamann said, now you got a piece of the ball, a foul-gipped.
• 52:53
  And that's all for Horton down on site.
• 52:55
  Now it's Paul's mistake in identification.
• 52:58
  This is the Detroit Tigers baseball network.
• 53:01
  Norman, Norman Cash stepping in.
• 53:03
  Wakes on the first pitch.
• 53:05
  A high hop and fourth and second baseman class.
• 53:07
  He has his foot over to the second base.
• 53:09
  But Michael is your top covering the bag, and that's all.
• 53:12
  For the Tigers, as they force north of second baseman to the short stop.
• 53:16
  So the Tigers in the fourth inning, no runs.
• 53:18
  No hits, no errors.
• 53:20
  One man left to Andres.
• 53:21
  And after four innings of play, we still have a scoreless ballgame.
• 53:25
  They've played five innings at Fenway Park, and it's still Red Sox 2, Baltimore nothing.
• 53:39
  Right here at Tiger Stadium, Yankee nothing, Tigers nothing.
• 53:43
  Here's Joe Pemplejoh to face Joe Sparmer.
• 53:46
  the pitch is high, ball wide.
• 53:49
  Give him a fast ball, high and away.
• 53:51
  Peppertones over one, flat out to center field.
• 54:00
  the pitch to Deppie, swing and a miss.
• 54:02
  Went after the curve of Romney.
• 54:04
  1-1.
• 54:09
  Sparmer trying to pick up his ninth one of the year.
• 54:12
  Starting this one tonight, he'd win Jim Walker.
• 54:15
  Got the surprise shot when Wilson came up with a twinge in his drawing arc.
• 54:20
  There's a pitch outside, gets away from Prehan off to his left.
• 54:23
  2-1 to count to Peppertones.
• 54:25
  He'll be followed by Robinson and then Ferraro.
• 54:35
  Peppertones got a 2.46 left hander's hitter.
• 54:38
  Q on Kriktoe, goes after the curve, pumps it up into shallow right center field.
• 54:42
  Down to his left, he's there under it and makes the catch.
• 54:46
  Well, Peppertones flies out to the center fielder.
• 54:54
  Mickey's been a little busy out there in center field so far through four in a third inning.
• 54:59
  And he has recorded five put outs.
• 55:02
  One out for the Yankees and here's Bill Robinson, the right fielder.
• 55:05
  Bill played in center field last night.
• 55:07
  Right handed hitter.
• 55:10
  Curve pins outside.
• 55:12
  Robbie Star to go, Jackson dives.
• 55:17
  the Yankees still having high hopes from this young man that came out of the Braves organization,
• 55:21
  one that sent him to the Yankees quickly before your last year.
• 55:26
  Curve is outside, two balls, no strikes.
• 55:32
  Diggers, no runs, two hits and no errors.
• 55:34
  Yankees, no runs, two hits, no errors.
• 55:38
  Back to work, you old prick.
• 55:40
  Hit in the air in right field.
• 55:42
  Backing up is Tash, back settling by the line.
• 55:44
  He's under it and makes the catch about two steps in foul territory
• 55:48
  and about 75 feet down the line in right field.
• 55:53
  So Robinson fouls out to the first baseman, two downs.
• 55:57
  That'll bring up Ferraro, the third baseman.
• 56:05
  Farmer, since the single-bine mantle, has ducked down the last 12 Yankees in order.
• 56:13
  Has not recorded a strikeout, has not walked about it.
• 56:23
  Mike Ferraro, S-E-R-R-A-R-O.
• 56:27
  Good looking young infielder.
• 56:30
  Right handed hitter.
• 56:33
  Jokes up and at bat, sort of leans out over the play.
• 56:36
  Close down, pitch jump is inside, fast ball ball wide.
• 56:52
  Now the 1-0-30, strike hitter.
• 56:55
  1-1.
• 57:00
  Well, the Tigers and Yankees in 16 previous meetings, all even.
• 57:04
  Eight wins and eight losses for eight clubs.
• 57:07
  1-1-30 curve, a high hopper to word of third.
• 57:09
  Hafford, he'll have to hurry.
• 57:11
  In time, the catch.
• 57:13
  All work to do is wait for that high hopper to come down to him,
• 57:17
  then he gunges over the first and time.
• 57:19
  Three up and three away for the Yankees.
• 57:21
  After four and a half, he's a quiet still.
• 57:23
  Detroit nothing, New York nothing.
• 57:28
  Now we've had several inquiries about the Go-Get-Em Tigers fight song.
• 57:32
  People want to know how to get a copy of it.
• 57:34
  Well, the best way probably will be to wait until the official Tiger
• 57:37
  highlight album comes out.
• 57:39
  the fight song will be included along with all the highlights of this year's
• 57:42
  Panadrive.
• 57:44
  It'll be ready at the end of the season.
• 57:46
  And it'll be called the year of the Tiger 68.
• 57:49
  As soon as we have more information on it, we'll pass it along.
• 57:52
  Here's freehand.
• 57:53
  They'll take the first pitch high, ball one.
• 57:58
  Oakland and Chicago playing a finite double header.
• 58:01
  the White Sox won the first game, 2-1.
• 58:05
  Thompson back to work now.
• 58:07
  the curve is taken for a strike, 1-1.
• 58:10
  In that White Sox open ball game, Chicago two runs late, hits no errors.
• 58:14
  Oakland one run five, hits in one error.
• 58:16
  Paul in the winner, Nass to lose it, the first to two.
• 58:19
  the next pitch to freehand, curve ball that hits the left, big hit.
• 58:22
  That one bouncing between the shortstop and third baseman and going into left field.
• 58:27
  And freehand checks in with his first hit of the evening, gets him one for two.
• 58:32
  That's the third Tiger hit.
• 58:36
  And here's Tommy Metcalf.
• 58:44
  Bobby playing a lot of shortstop these days for the Tigers, left-handed hitter.
• 58:50
  the Tigers have used three primarily at the shortstop position this year,
• 58:53
  Euler, Zuzinski, and Tommy Metcalf.
• 58:57
  Set by Thompson, here's the pitch.
• 58:59
  Fastball is outside.
• 59:02
  If there was one fault that you could find with this young right-hand scorer for the Yankees,
• 59:07
  if, we say, got the good job, good control, good fastball, good curve,
• 59:12
  he has been a little bit unable to control himself as far as pacing himself.
• 59:16
  Slow over the second and they get matched at fire step.
• 59:20
  A slow roller that Clark had to come in the second base and got up at the grass,
• 59:23
  flipped underhand at the mantle of first base and finally got matched at.
• 59:28
  Tommy out second at first, freehand moved to second on the play.
• 59:32
  Freehand becomes the first Tiger runner as far as second base tonight.
• 59:38
  Bring it down work.
• 59:46
  Down it goes for one.
• 59:47
  Bounce out third to first, leading off on the third inning.
• 59:56
  Thompson looks in again to the side, offset to work, second, pitchers.
• 59:59
  Good ball is hit up in the air in the left field.
• 1:00:02
  There's left, the left fielder, White, has the room.
• 1:00:04
  He's under it and makes the put out.
• 1:00:06
  Still back into the infield, freehand holds the second base.
• 1:00:10
  Ruthie's white, but the left fielder, White.
• 1:00:12
  Here I am.
• 1:00:15
  It's just Spana, and Joe has certainly been strong so far tonight.
• 1:00:31
  This is Spana tonight, 0-1, bounce out second and first.
• 1:00:38
  Joe's had six hits this season and 57 just to the plate.
• 1:00:43
  One, a double.
• 1:00:46
  Right-handed hitter as Thompson sets the pitch.
• 1:00:50
  A stop by ball to center field, base hit.
• 1:00:52
  White had it on third.
• 1:00:54
  Pippa-Torn bobbles the ball and one run in for the Tigers.
• 1:00:58
  Spana singles to center field, the Tigers lead 1-0.
• 1:01:15
  Kepa-Torn bobbles that ball momentarily out on center field.
• 1:01:19
  However, freehand had already made the turn at third base.
• 1:01:22
  Probably in all probability, but of course, Spana stopped his first base.
• 1:01:27
  Joe, a former Buckeye from Ohio State, helping his own cars tonight,
• 1:01:33
  drives in the first run of the ball game with a soft line ball to center field.
• 1:01:39
  Top of the batting order, Dick McDonough sets in to pitch the max.
• 1:01:44
  Right pass ball, outside corner.
• 1:01:51
  It's Spana, his second RBI of the season.
• 1:01:56
  Got the warm-up jacket on that first base.
• 1:01:59
  Two out here in the Tiger fifth inning.
• 1:02:02
  Set by Bonson, the pitch.
• 1:02:04
  Danger, bring it a minute.
• 1:02:07
  Pitch strikes, the count to McDonough.
• 1:02:10
  He's tried to unload that guy.
• 1:02:14
  Last report we had out of Boston, Red Sox 2, Orioles nothing.
• 1:02:19
  They had completed five innings.
• 1:02:30
  Pitch strike pitch, low curve is outside.
• 1:02:33
  That's a knee, one or two.
• 1:02:44
  Well, I think every run the Tigers get tonight,
• 1:02:46
  they might add one ice cube in the clubhouse.
• 1:02:49
  Bounce to the first foul.
• 1:02:53
  One or two, still a count.
• 1:03:06
  the Orioles did not score at the top of the sixth.
• 1:03:09
  So after five and a half innings, Red Sox 2, Orioles nothing.
• 1:03:14
  the pitch to McDonough, foul off, back to the three.
• 1:03:17
  One or two.
• 1:03:23
  Here at Tiger Stadium this year against the Yankees,
• 1:03:25
  the Tigers have won five, the Yankees have won twice.
• 1:03:28
  But Yankee Stadium, the Tigers won three games and dropped six.
• 1:03:33
  And of course, the last time they visited Yankee Stadium
• 1:03:36
  turned out to be embarrassing as the Yankees took four straight.
• 1:03:39
  Tigers trying to get back some revenge in this area,
• 1:03:42
  as well as Quince the Bennett.
• 1:03:44
  Set, one, two, pitch.
• 1:03:46
  That's ball outside, 2 and 2, the captain of colors.
• 1:03:57
  Back out of the batter's box.
• 1:04:00
  Now steps himself.
• 1:04:02
  Left-handed hitter, open stance, lane back,
• 1:04:06
  way through on the pitch, ping and a miss on a low curve,
• 1:04:08
  struck him off.
• 1:04:09
  Strikeout number four for Bonson.
• 1:04:11
  That's all for the Tigers in the fifth.
• 1:04:13
  However, they come up with one run, two hits, no errors,
• 1:04:16
  one man left, Andre.
• 1:04:17
  After five innings of play, Tigers won Yankees nothing.
• 1:04:26
  Well, we'd like to send out our best wishes and certainly
• 1:04:29
  big Tiger greetings to all the folks at Sheath Haven
• 1:04:33
  and the Lafayette Convalescent home around the front area.
• 1:04:37
  We know that we have many Tiger fans there and certainly
• 1:04:40
  Tigers begin to see me.
• 1:04:50
  Hey, Michael, a short shot to lead off of the Yankees.
• 1:04:56
  Foot hitter, batting left-hand against Bama.
• 1:04:58
  He's over one, rounded out, short to first.
• 1:05:01
  That was back in the third inning.
• 1:05:05
  Out go, lines and deals.
• 1:05:07
  That's been a thinking fastball, back large.
• 1:05:23
  One strike to Lippie, foul tipped back into the middle freehand,
• 1:05:37
  two strikes.
• 1:05:40
  Now Michael back in there, not even with the play.
• 1:05:44
  Feet almost close together.
• 1:05:46
  Backed off of a high hard one at the shoulders, one and two.
• 1:05:57
  Tigers lead one to nothing.
• 1:05:59
  One run four hits no air.
• 1:06:00
  Yankee toe runs two hits no air.
• 1:06:02
  the next pitch, a bouncer towards McCall of a second,
• 1:06:05
  comes in, gloves it, throws to first.
• 1:06:07
  They get Michael by a couple of steps.
• 1:06:15
  Well, I'd like to send my hello along the Armed Forces Radio Network
• 1:06:20
  tonight here in Detroit to all of our servicemen overseas
• 1:06:24
  and around the world, hoping that tonight's broadcast will give you
• 1:06:28
  just a little touch of home and hope to see you back in a safe field too.
• 1:06:33
  Dan Bonson, the pitcher's got you now.
• 1:06:35
  Here's a pitcher's bat, a strike of the name of the fastball.
• 1:06:39
  Now we're talking about the Armed Forces, a fellow from the Compton, Michigan area,
• 1:06:44
  celebrating the birthday over in Vietnam.
• 1:06:48
  Curve is outside.
• 1:06:50
  One ball, one strike.
• 1:06:53
  Go to Ken Wise of the Compton, Michigan area.
• 1:06:57
  Now the Saigon overseas in Vietnam,
• 1:06:59
  a very happy birthday from the folks in Detroit and from Tiger Stadium.
• 1:07:04
  Now the one-one pitch.
• 1:07:05
  It's low.
• 1:07:07
  Two balls, one strike.
• 1:07:13
  Fama has stepped down the last 14 in order.
• 1:07:19
  Two-one pitch.
• 1:07:20
  Low.
• 1:07:22
  So he runs the count of the pitcher, three and one.
• 1:07:30
  Tigers now for the month of September have won 12 games.
• 1:07:32
  They've lost three.
• 1:07:34
  43 games over the 500 mark.
• 1:07:38
  Fama back to work.
• 1:07:39
  Three-one pitch.
• 1:07:40
  the high sales run almost over the head of Bonson.
• 1:07:44
  Bonson's going to take a quick look out at Gill and then touch down to first base.
• 1:07:48
  That is not in the pitcher's patented.
• 1:07:51
  That's out of the pitch.
• 1:07:54
  First walk given up by Fama.
• 1:07:56
  Conference off the mound, freehand and Fama.
• 1:07:59
  Time call now.
• 1:08:00
  First base coach, Whitey Ford, has gone over the dugout,
• 1:08:02
  brings back the warm-up jacket for Bonson.
• 1:08:05
  One out, runner at first, the count of the batting order, the second baseman, Horace Clark.
• 1:08:18
  Large-footed hitter, he's batting 232.
• 1:08:20
  the left-handed hitter, 230, and the right-handed hitter, 238.
• 1:08:24
  Batting left-handed, slightly open stance, third job.
• 1:08:31
  Set by Fama, the pitch, swing and a miss, one strike.
• 1:08:37
  Activity now, the tag is open, the right-hander, Pat Johnson begins to throw.
• 1:08:41
  Pat was throwing in the Yankee first inning when they collected a couple of singles off of Fama.
• 1:08:46
  Now it goes back to work.
• 1:08:49
  Tag playing behind the runner at first base, the pitcher, Bonson.
• 1:08:53
  Set by Fama, inside with the passing, one-a-wide.
• 1:09:03
  Danny McClain to go to Mauna for the Tigers after his 31st victory of the year.
• 1:09:08
  It'll be a safety now for Troutelmeyer, a 20-game winner for the Yankees.
• 1:09:14
  Now the one-one kick.
• 1:09:15
  Half swing and a curve, it was in the dirt.
• 1:09:17
  He checked in time, two balls, one strike.
• 1:09:22
  the Tigers have not used a relief pitcher in their last 10 games, coupling 12 days.
• 1:09:29
  the last pitcher to be used in relief was Pat Johnson on September 4th when the Tigers played out an open.
• 1:09:39
  Two-one kick, the Clarks, round ball, hit the catch.
• 1:09:41
  He drops it, goes to second for one, throw back to first not in time.
• 1:09:44
  Clarks with that good speed, dips down the baseline.
• 1:09:48
  However, the Tigers do get one if they get the lead runner, Bonson, to cut down first baseman
• 1:09:53
  to the shortstop, covering the bag at second.
• 1:09:56
  Clarks on with a field of strike.
• 1:10:00
  Two-out for the Yankees.
• 1:10:05
  the batter is Jake Gibbs.
• 1:10:13
  They're talking about the relief pitchers not being used in the last 10 games, 12 days.
• 1:10:20
  Johnny Warden, Tigers young left-hander, was asking the United,
• 1:10:24
  well how many scoreless innings do I have now?
• 1:10:26
  I said about 90.
• 1:10:28
  I haven't given up a hit either.
• 1:10:32
  He had the left-handed hitter.
• 1:10:36
  0-2 tonight, both times flying out the center field.
• 1:10:39
  Clarks with good speed at first with a pretty good lead.
• 1:10:41
  That's the pitch, fastball, taken for a strike inside corner.
• 1:10:53
  Clarks with 16-kilometer bases on the field.
• 1:10:56
  Two-out.
• 1:10:58
  He represents the time, but the Tigers lead 1-0.
• 1:11:02
  Cag guarding the bag at first, trying to hold the runner close,
• 1:11:05
  a set by Spama.
• 1:11:11
  Steps off the slab.
• 1:11:12
  And when he does that, Gibbs steps out of the batter's bag.
• 1:11:22
  Now Joe back to work.
• 1:11:23
  Stretches, checks the runner, there goes the runner, a swing and a miss.
• 1:11:27
  Now the drop check Clarks left between first and second.
• 1:11:30
  Go down on that check.
• 1:11:31
  He's rolling him back to first.
• 1:11:32
  He's put back to Cag.
• 1:11:35
  Now Cag chasing him back to second.
• 1:11:36
  McCallum in the act now.
• 1:11:37
  And Mack puts the tag on him.
• 1:11:39
  Well, it took a little while, but they got him.
• 1:11:42
  As it was the catcher to the shortstop, to the first baseman,
• 1:11:47
  to the second baseman.
• 1:11:49
  Freehand, Mack, pass to Mackic.
• 1:11:52
  And they nailed Clark on the attempt to steal.
• 1:11:56
  Gibbs swinging and missing, and then Clark,
• 1:12:00
  a good job deciding to try to get back to first base,
• 1:12:02
  but it was finally run down, closed down to Yankee's base.
• 1:12:06
  No runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left on base.
• 1:12:08
  After five and a half innings, Tigers won.
• 1:12:11
  Yankee's nothing.
• 1:12:12
  Keep him loaded.
• 1:12:19
  Tigers coming about here in the bottom of sixth inning.
• 1:12:23
  Nicky Stanley to lead it off.
• 1:12:24
  He'll be followed by Northup and then Willie Horton.
• 1:12:27
  Tigers in front, London of it.
• 1:12:31
  Trying to clench the American legs on it tonight.
• 1:12:37
  A win for the Tigers would do it.
• 1:12:39
  Or a loss for Baltimore would do it.
• 1:12:44
  the pitch to Stanley, a strike at the knees, gave him a curve ball.
• 1:12:49
  Nicky has lined out to right field.
• 1:12:51
  It's a law very sharply in the first inning when he lined out.
• 1:12:54
  And that got McCullough off of that first base,
• 1:12:57
  and they doubled up Max on the play.
• 1:12:59
  And then Stanley bounced that pitcher to the first base and in the fourth.
• 1:13:04
  Monson's curve is high this time, what it was.
• 1:13:15
  Stanley's out in 259, one-one pitch, Joe.
• 1:13:19
  Holds up on a curve that broke outside.
• 1:13:21
  Monson not liking the curve, sort of shaking his head,
• 1:13:24
  and kind of on the play down fire.
• 1:13:26
  Two balls, one strike.
• 1:13:31
  Tigers started the ninth activity with a team body mark of 235.
• 1:13:38
  Ah, the two-one pitch.
• 1:13:39
  Fly ball hit into center field, which left his cup at down.
• 1:13:43
  He's there and he knocks the gap.
• 1:13:45
  And Joe had to go a little bit towards right center to bring it down.
• 1:13:50
  Stanley flying out to the center fielder, one out, and that brings up Jim Norschup.
• 1:13:58
  Boy, I hear Stichel's name coming from somewhere.
• 1:14:04
  There's Jim Norschup.
• 1:14:06
  Bob got first base into the pitcher, picked up a walk.
• 1:14:10
  Over walk.
• 1:14:14
  Left counter hitter takes the curve inside, ball locked, yet the outfield play him straight away.
• 1:14:20
  the infield shifted towards the first base side.
• 1:14:25
  One-all pitch.
• 1:14:26
  Change up a high hopper into Clark Clough.
• 1:14:29
  the second baseman fires the first, nobody covering first base.
• 1:14:32
  And at the last second, the pitcher, Monson, decided to go over there,
• 1:14:36
  and Norschup is face at first.
• 1:14:39
  That'll be an infield single.
• 1:14:42
  Now, now with the playing back, he did not offer to go to the back.
• 1:14:47
  Monson got a wake shot from the hill, and Norschup raced into the back and beat him by a couple of steps.
• 1:14:54
  Clark should have had his man, but there's nobody there in time to make the play at first.
• 1:14:58
  Infield single for Norschup.
• 1:14:59
  the batter is Willie Horton.
• 1:15:02
  That's a tiger's fifth hit off of Monson.
• 1:15:09
  There's a gentleman parading on the third base side behind the box feet.
• 1:15:14
  Coming all the way there with a tiger outfit on, a big tiger head.
• 1:15:19
  Behind him, a youngster with a J.
• 1:15:22
  Now, the pennant fever rising here tonight at Tiger Stadium.
• 1:15:26
  And you can certainly tell the symptoms tonight, friends.
• 1:15:29
  Here's Willie Horton.
• 1:15:31
  Ground ball to Michael Eccordi.
• 1:15:32
  Clark hits the second for one.
• 1:15:34
  Clark's throw to first.
• 1:15:35
  In time, double play.
• 1:15:36
  Short stop, second baseman to first.
• 1:15:39
  That's all for the Tigers in the sixth.
• 1:15:41
  No runs, one hit, nowhere.
• 1:15:42
  Nobody left on base.
• 1:15:44
  After six innings of play, it's still the Tigers one.
• 1:15:46
  the Yankees up.
• 1:15:52
  Six and a half innings at Fenway Park, and the Red Sox continue to lead the Orioles.
• 1:15:57
  Right here at Tiger Stadium, Detroit one.
• 1:16:00
  Yankees nothing.
• 1:16:01
  They go to the top of the seventh.
• 1:16:03
  the batter is Gibbs.
• 1:16:04
  the old announcer is Ernie Harwell.
• 1:16:07
  Thank you, Ray Lane.
• 1:16:08
  Here we go.
• 1:16:09
  Joe Farmer ready to go to work.
• 1:16:10
  He's allowed no runs and two hits.
• 1:16:13
  Gibbs is 0 for 2.
• 1:16:15
  He takes the fast ball over.
• 1:16:16
  Ball one.
• 1:16:17
  Gibbs has hit the ball to Sutterfield.
• 1:16:18
  His family, he's trying to make it.
• 1:16:19
  He's had five foot outs out there.
• 1:16:20
  He's been busy.
• 1:16:21
  Farmer has fixed an unusual game in one way.
• 1:16:24
  He's not struck out anybody.
• 1:16:26
  And he's walked one.
• 1:16:27
  Here's the pick.
• 1:16:28
  Swung out a high hopper over the man on Matthew Chargy.
• 1:16:30
  Across second.
• 1:16:31
  Grabbed it.
• 1:16:32
  Right at first, you've got him.
• 1:16:33
  Gibbs is out.
• 1:16:34
  George is the first.
• 1:16:35
  Matthew's had a long way to go on the high hopper.
• 1:16:38
  the balls seem to be bounding a little higher than they normally do on the skin of the infield
• 1:16:44
  and the surface around the home plate area tonight.
• 1:16:49
  So here's the great Mickey Manos tapping in.
• 1:16:56
  Manos single in the first inning, one of the two hits.
• 1:16:59
  He bounced him a corner for the next trip.
• 1:17:02
  Takes a curve ball in close to the feet.
• 1:17:05
  Ball went on Mickey.
• 1:17:10
  Fine turnout tonight.
• 1:17:12
  the Tigers lead one to nothing.
• 1:17:13
  They score them a fifth inning.
• 1:17:16
  Single by Freehand, a bounce out by Magic.
• 1:17:18
  Got a two-out single by the Fitch's Farmer.
• 1:17:20
  Drove him home.
• 1:17:21
  Strike called.
• 1:17:22
  A breaking ball above the knees.
• 1:17:24
  One-on-one mick out on Mickey Manos.
• 1:17:26
  One out in the seventh inning.
• 1:17:34
  Joseph Farmer gets his five from Freehand.
• 1:17:36
  the pitch.
• 1:17:37
  Fast ball it back to Jolo.
• 1:17:38
  He drops it.
• 1:17:39
  Here's the top to catch in time and Manos is out.
• 1:17:42
  Two down and the Yankees seven.
• 1:17:45
  And Roy White coming to back.
• 1:17:47
  Roy hit into a double play in the first inning, one of the big plays of this game so far because
• 1:17:52
  the Yankees at that time against Farmer had two men on and only one out.
• 1:17:56
  They had two singles.
• 1:17:58
  And then White hit a ground ball to McCallips and threw to Magic for one and then over the
• 1:18:02
  catch to the double play.
• 1:18:04
  White, up among the American big leaders, started the game hitting T-75.
• 1:18:08
  Starting rough at it, hits a five-ball to the left center.
• 1:18:11
  Horton going back.
• 1:18:12
  Stanley backing him up.
• 1:18:13
  Winning it.
• 1:18:14
  the catch.
• 1:18:15
  Five-three-five.
• 1:18:16
  Nothing of cost for New York in the seventh inning.
• 1:18:18
  And at the end of the first half of the seventh, Tigers won the Yankees number.
• 1:18:23
  Ernie Harwell and Ray Lane at Tigers Stadium.
• 1:18:33
  the big crowd here.
• 1:18:34
  Tigers fans.
• 1:18:35
  Hoping for the crunch of the night.
• 1:18:38
  Standing now on the traditional seventh inning stretch.
• 1:18:41
  Time to be paraded over the ballpark and right now we'll have a chance to take our collective breath.
• 1:18:47
  Norman Cash will lead off against Boston.
• 1:18:49
  Both these pitches have gone all the way.
• 1:18:51
  Farmer is surprised.
• 1:18:52
  Started for the Tigers after Wilson came up with a twinge in the shoulder while warming up before the game.
• 1:18:57
  And Boston on the mound for the Yankees.
• 1:18:59
  Here's the foul off to that of Norman.
• 1:19:01
  Norman Cash strikes one.
• 1:19:03
  Cash had a single in the second.
• 1:19:05
  Hit into a four-stop in the second base from the clock in the fourth inning.
• 1:19:11
  One-but-nothing.
• 1:19:12
  the Tigers lead them.
• 1:19:13
  Here's the pitch.
• 1:19:14
  It's a ball low.
• 1:19:16
  One and one.
• 1:19:19
  Well, this game quite a contrast to the last couple that the Tigers had played.
• 1:19:23
  And they got well out in front.
• 1:19:25
  Ernie was some lucky hitting.
• 1:19:26
  the one-one delivery.
• 1:19:27
  Cash swings and bows it up there.
• 1:19:29
  That of play.
• 1:19:32
  One ball, two strikes.
• 1:19:34
  Boston is leading Baltimore.
• 1:19:36
  Baltimore batting in the seventh inning.
• 1:19:40
  And it's two to nothing.
• 1:19:44
  Now the windup and the pitch.
• 1:19:51
  Cash taps one on the ground to a first base.
• 1:19:53
  It'll be a foul ball.
• 1:19:55
  One ball, two strikes.
• 1:19:56
  Now we've got a later report from Boston.
• 1:19:58
  Baltimore failed to score in the seventh.
• 1:20:01
  Now the Red Sox lead two to nothing.
• 1:20:03
  And Brabender has come into fix for Baltimore in the seventh inning.
• 1:20:15
  Now the one-two-fix.
• 1:20:17
  Cash takes the ball in the third two-two.
• 1:20:21
  Tigers with a one-but-nothing lead in the seventh.
• 1:20:27
  Tiger win or a Boston win.
• 1:20:29
  Means a pennant for Detroit.
• 1:20:31
  And the ball high.
• 1:20:33
  Three-two to the guy on storm in Norman.
• 1:20:42
  Nobody on and nobody out in the Tigers' seventh.
• 1:20:46
  Now Boston wheels in the rim.
• 1:20:48
  It's cash if they bounce it off.
• 1:20:49
  Over the ground.
• 1:20:50
  It's far into right field.
• 1:20:52
  It's a hop over Clark's glove and bounds into right field.
• 1:21:00
  Tiger hits the catch.
• 1:21:02
  A hard hopper over the glove of the second baseman Clark.
• 1:21:05
  Gets Norman two hits.
• 1:21:06
  He's the only Tiger with two.
• 1:21:08
  the only batter on either team with two.
• 1:21:10
  And here comes Bill Frehand to bat with a man on.
• 1:21:14
  And nobody down in the Tigers' seventh inning.
• 1:21:19
  And listen to the excitement generated by this Tigers crowd tonight.
• 1:21:23
  And they're waiting for the pennant kill here at Tigers Stadium.
• 1:21:29
  Boston to the set position on the mound.
• 1:21:31
  But it is if they put in the air foul and it'll be out of play.
• 1:21:35
  Back in the sixth.
• 1:21:36
  Strike one.
• 1:21:41
  Now Boston did not score in the seventh.
• 1:21:43
  So they've completed seven at Fenway Park.
• 1:21:45
  And it is still Boston to Baltimore and others.
• 1:21:49
  Hamilton, they call up and are beginning to loosen up in the Yankee ballpark.
• 1:21:57
  Gag John first with nobody down.
• 1:21:59
  the pitch.
• 1:22:00
  Frehand buster ball off the mound from Boston.
• 1:22:02
  They pick up before the first base to Clark covering.
• 1:22:05
  It's a sacrifice by Frehand moving catch to second.
• 1:22:12
  They play with the picture of the second baseman covering the bag.
• 1:22:15
  And now the batter will be Tommy Mackey.
• 1:22:18
  Oh, a game in Boston is just about a half inning ahead of this one right now.
• 1:22:24
  Well, there may be a race between those two games.
• 1:22:29
  See which will finish first.
• 1:22:34
  Tommy Mackey left hand about in shortstop up against Boston who's gone all the way.
• 1:22:40
  Now the pitch.
• 1:22:41
  It's a foul ball out of play out the middle to catch again.
• 1:23:03
  Now the step by Boston, the strike one pitch is coming up.
• 1:23:07
  And he fouls it out of play.
• 1:23:11
  Oh, Ray Lane's got some bulletins from Fenway Park about that game up there.
• 1:23:15
  And he won a Red Sox pick up two runs in the first inning.
• 1:23:17
  They got him this way.
• 1:23:18
  Alvarado got an infield single and went to second on an error.
• 1:23:21
  Then moved to third on the ground.
• 1:23:22
  They scored on a triple by Yosemte.
• 1:23:24
  And Yosemte came home on a double by Hilton.
• 1:23:27
  Ray Cope on the mound for the Red Sox.
• 1:23:29
  They've struck out a total of 12 oil batters so far.
• 1:23:33
  Thank you, Ray.
• 1:23:34
  Here's the pitch to Mackey.
• 1:23:35
  He takes the fast ball low.
• 1:23:37
  One ball, two strikes.
• 1:23:39
  Boston leading now in the eighth inning with a ball and more drops.
• 1:23:41
  They score two nothings in favor of the Red Sox.
• 1:23:47
  Tigers are leading here, one derubbing into seventh.
• 1:23:49
  the man on second's catch.
• 1:23:51
  One man out.
• 1:23:52
  the pitch to Mackey.
• 1:23:53
  Swing a bounding ball over the ground with a pitcher.
• 1:23:55
  Gave by Mackey a throw to third.
• 1:23:57
  To Ferraro, they've got catch and a run down.
• 1:23:59
  They throw back the clock.
• 1:24:00
  He's running catch down to third.
• 1:24:02
  And now the tag is made by Michael to shortstop.
• 1:24:05
  And as the play ensued, Magic the batter moved all the way to second base on the field of choice.
• 1:24:14
  Though Mackey is safe at second on the field of choice,
• 1:24:17
  catch did all he could after breaking for third.
• 1:24:20
  He was caught in the run down and gave Mackey time to move into second base.
• 1:24:28
  And now he will go the shortstop to the third baseman to the second baseman to the shortstop.
• 1:24:39
  And Magic is caught off second by a hidden ball trick.
• 1:24:42
  Michael had the ball, went over and touched Tommy Magic.
• 1:24:45
  And he is out and Mac retires the Tigers in the seventh inning.
• 1:24:50
  Well, Magic was back at second but Michael put the ball on him for the hidden ball trick.
• 1:24:55
  And Mac retires the side.
• 1:24:57
  the first one hits no errors and a one man left and the Tigers seventh.
• 1:25:01
  And at the end of seventh, it's the Tigers one of the Yankees nothing.
• 1:25:10
  Strike to Capitone, the eighth inning getting underway.
• 1:25:22
  Now the strike one pitch coming up to Joe Capitone.
• 1:25:24
  Here he comes, Joe takes the fast ball high, one and one.
• 1:25:31
  Now the Tigers have set a new attendance record for their season.
• 1:25:34
  Tonight they do 46,512 paid admissions.
• 1:25:39
  Capitone looks at a ball in close, two-one to count on him.
• 1:25:51
  Two balls and one strike on Capitone, Tigers lead 8-10.
• 1:25:56
  One-bunning over the Yankees, Barber into action that it is.
• 1:25:59
  It is a bombing ball to the right of McCallop.
• 1:26:01
  He charges, drives it, throws the tag and Capitone is out second to first.
• 1:26:08
  Well, Bill Robinson will be the next batter.
• 1:26:12
  the Yankees had two singles in the opening.
• 1:26:14
  Since then they have a one-out walk to Bonson in the sixth inning.
• 1:26:19
  And those have been the Yankee runners.
• 1:26:21
  They've left one man on base.
• 1:26:23
  Farmer has walked one and struck out nobody.
• 1:26:37
  Tigers lead one-bunning in the eighth.
• 1:26:40
  Robinson takes the fast ball high from Joe Farmer, ball one.
• 1:26:46
  Baltimore did not score in the eighth inning.
• 1:26:48
  Boston batting in the last half of the eighth.
• 1:26:50
  And the Red Sox lead Baltimore two to nothing.
• 1:26:54
  There's a foul on the netter freehand and off it and the count is one and one.
• 1:27:03
  the Tigers total attendance now for the year is 1,953,842.
• 1:27:09
  A new record.
• 1:27:10
  the old record was 1,951,000.
• 1:27:14
  It's a bonding ball to left field deep knocked down by Magic back of the shortstop position.
• 1:27:20
  It'll be a single for Robinson of the third Yankee hit.
• 1:27:24
  Magic was able to go deep to his right, get the glove on the ball and that was all.
• 1:27:32
  So the batter now will be Ferraro, the third baseman with the man out and the man out.
• 1:27:40
  Outfield is straight up on Mike Ferraro.
• 1:27:43
  the rookie third backer.
• 1:27:47
  They brought him back the first of September from the Syracuse Ball Club.
• 1:27:53
  Runner goes, takes his swing on this throw to McCallough.
• 1:27:55
  He's out.
• 1:27:58
  Freehand, cut down Robinson trying to steal second base.
• 1:28:03
  Freehand to Dick McCallough, the second backer covering.
• 1:28:06
  Two down. Strike one, McCallough and Ferraro.
• 1:28:14
  Now umpire Kenamon wants Farmer to toss the ball in so he can have a look at it.
• 1:28:40
  Here's the wind up and the pitch on the way, it's a ball outside one and one.
• 1:28:46
  Two down and nobody on and the Yankee eight inning, the Tigers lead them one to nothing.
• 1:28:50
  Trying to clink that American make tonight.
• 1:28:55
  Now Buckeye Joe delivers his foul ball, hit out of play and it is back of the play.
• 1:29:05
  One ball, two strikes, that's the count.
• 1:29:10
  Nicky Lovitz and Pat Dobson loosening up on the Tiger bullpen.
• 1:29:15
  Steve Hamilton and the Yankee bullpen right now.
• 1:29:23
  Farmer checks his sign again, the one-two delivery.
• 1:29:26
  Third ball hit on the ground deep, the third works, bluffs it long,
• 1:29:29
  dash across the diamond inside, out, side, retire.
• 1:29:35
  No running for it, no errors and nobody left.
• 1:29:37
  And at the end of the first half of the eighth inning it's Detroit one New York nothing.
• 1:29:54
  Here come the Tigers to bat in the eighth inning and they are leading the Yankees, Tigers one New York nothing.
• 1:30:05
  Detroit got the game's only run in the fifth inning.
• 1:30:10
  Freehand led off with a single, took the second one, matched it, bounced the second base.
• 1:30:14
  Wirtz flied it after and then Farmer singled home freehand to put the Tigers in the lead they now hold.
• 1:30:23
  Here's John Wirtz batting in the eighth inning.
• 1:30:31
  Monson, but it is and Wirtz takes the ball high, ball one.
• 1:30:42
  Here's the windup now and they pitch on the way, curve ball into the air, short left center,
• 1:30:47
  and it's a half a stone. the Yankees center fielder there waiting and tennis love for the hour.
• 1:30:54
  Joe Farmer who has pitched a brilliant ball game, not been the only runner again coming in the back.
• 1:31:03
  Listen to that ovation.
• 1:31:14
  What a fortune for him. Joe was fooled when his name was announced as a starting pitcher.
• 1:31:18
  Here's a strike called, swung on and missed by Joe.
• 1:31:22
  Tried to hold up his swing but it's gone too far.
• 1:31:30
  There's a cap, a hit, swung it to a third, Bararo gloves it, here's the soft to mammal and he is out in first base.
• 1:31:36
  Mickey had to come off the back and tag the runner, Farmer coming down the line.
• 1:31:41
  Well there are two down in the Tiger eighth inning and Dick McAllis will be the batter.
• 1:31:51
  Tigers lead one to nothing, maybe the victory they claim to finish.
• 1:32:04
  Now umpire Ketterman wants to look at the ball again, bounce and bounces this one into it.
• 1:32:29
  Well here's Mack stepping in now. This could be a historic game for the Tigers.
• 1:32:38
  Here's a pitch, it's a ball low, fast ball low to McAllis.
• 1:32:43
  Mack with a single, struck out a couple, bounced a second and struck out.
• 1:32:49
  Tigers one run, six hits, Yankees no runs, three hits. Bounce and delivers, strike called on Mack the curve of cause, one and one.
• 1:33:03
  Well here's another game coming to bat. Listen to that whole base.
• 1:33:19
  Well that's the Tides of Fortune for you. Joe was booed when his name was announced as a starting pitcher.
• 1:33:24
  Here's a strike called a swung on and missed by Joe. Tried to hold up his swing but he's gone too far.
• 1:33:35
  There's a tap, a hit quality to a third, Ferraro gloves it, here's the toss to Mantle and he is out his first save.
• 1:33:41
  Mickey had to come off the bag and tag the runner, Farmer coming down the line.
• 1:33:47
  Though they are two down, a Tiger eighth inning and Dick McAllis will be the batter.
• 1:33:56
  Tigers lead one to nothing, they lead a victory, they clinch the tennis.
• 1:34:10
  Now on Park Edelman, watch the look at the ball again, bounce and bounces this one into it.
• 1:34:35
  Well here's Mack stepping in now. This could be a historic game for the Tigers.
• 1:34:44
  Here's a bit, it's a ball low, back ball low to McAllis. Mack with a single, bounce the second and struck out.
• 1:34:55
  Tigers one run, six hits, Yankees no runs, three hits. Bartson delivers, strike called on Mack, a curve across, one and one.
• 1:35:14
  Now the wind up by Bartson and the pitch is a ball in close, two and one to count on him.
• 1:35:21
  Mickey Stanley waiting at the on deck circle.
• 1:35:32
  A lot of quiet tension in the air right now here in the eighth inning.
• 1:35:36
  Bartson wheels and deals and Mack takes the ball high, three and one to count.
• 1:35:49
  Two down and nobody on, the Tigers one of the Yankees nothing. the Tigers got a run on the fifth.
• 1:35:55
  Joe Sparmer knocks home free hands from second. Here's the fifth, Mack takes the ball, walks in.
• 1:36:01
  the second ball used by Bartson.
• 1:36:06
  the ball that's on first base with two out of the batter will be Mickey Stanley.
• 1:36:15
  Now Mickey has lied to right, that was turned into a double play in the opening inning.
• 1:36:20
  He's grounded to the pitcher and he's flied to the center fielder.
• 1:36:32
  McAllis on his first base, set by Bartson's pitch, Stanley hits the line, the shot's off, Michael gloves it and the inning is over.
• 1:36:40
  So it's no run for the Tigers in the eighth. There were no hits, no errors and one man left and here come the Yankees to bat in the ninth.
• 1:36:47
  the Tigers won a New Yorker.
• 1:36:51
  Tigers have made a change. Now Ray Euler replaces Mack at shortstop as we begin the ninth inning.
• 1:36:57
  the veteran Charlie Smith, the infielder, will come in to bat for Michael beginning of the Yankee night.
• 1:37:03
  Now then the pitcher, Bartson, is scheduled to bat next and Whitaker is at the on deck circle.
• 1:37:13
  So Smith is batting for Gene Michael. Charlie Smith, the veteran, right hand hitter, batting average, 227.
• 1:37:22
  Strike call and the Tigers are three outs away from the finish.
• 1:37:29
  Been a long wait for the Tigers fans since 1945 when they are ready to erupt here at Tiger Stadium.
• 1:37:37
  Strike one, the count on bench batter Charlie Smith.
• 1:37:40
  Slung on a bounding ball, deep short, it's off the glove of Euler and will be out into center field for a hit.
• 1:37:46
  Smith, single, off the glove of Ray Euler. Ray made a diving effort to his left.
• 1:37:56
  Dick Hauser has come to first base now. He'll be running for Charlie Smith.
• 1:38:11
  Gene Whitaker, left hand batter, moving up now. He'll be batting for Bartson.
• 1:38:19
  A full head off Joe Sparmer. That one just eluded the glove of Ray Euler at shortstop.
• 1:38:30
  Gene Whitaker, batting 121, the infielded double play depth starting.
• 1:38:36
  And then they go to the top of the batting order. It's a strike to turn the ball.
• 1:38:43
  the Tigers lead one to nothing in the ninth inning. Three outs away from flinching the finish.
• 1:38:53
  Manor and first is Hauser leading off. Gash holding on the back of it.
• 1:38:58
  Sparmer to the middle, foul ball out of play, left side of the play.
• 1:39:02
  Strike two with a count on Whitaker.
• 1:39:05
  Harris Clough will follow him. the Tigers dug out the players of standing.
• 1:39:16
  Looking out of the action on the diamond.
• 1:39:22
  Outfield is deep to right on Whitaker.
• 1:39:26
  Sparmer with a strike two count on the bench batter looking in to get his time from freehand.
• 1:39:31
  the runner at first is Hauser and the fifth.
• 1:39:35
  Wing and an empty shutout. That's the first shutout for Sparmer tonight.
• 1:39:42
  One down, one on in the Yankee ninth inning.
• 1:39:46
  Two outs to go for the pennants. And the batter will be Harris Clough.
• 1:39:52
  Harris is quick batter batting left-handed. He's had a single, has fouled a third, and hit into a fourth foul.
• 1:39:58
  Takes the ball, low and in the dirt, blocked by freehand. Ball, one on five.
• 1:40:17
  Now the set by Joe.
• 1:40:41
  And the pitch, flung on a bounding ball to McCalloch. He gloves it. Ball recovers. the throw is in time for the outs.
• 1:40:48
  A very close play and it'll be an argument on that one.
• 1:40:52
  McCalloch to Sparmer. Here comes Howkow.
• 1:40:55
  Bidey forward. It's raging. So is Clough.
• 1:40:58
  Man on second and two down.
• 1:41:01
  the play went for McCalloch to Sparmer who got there just in time to make the putout.
• 1:41:06
  And we've got a victorious argument going on with the umpire get back in first base.
• 1:41:12
  Howk is gesturing and counting. Bidey forward has also taken up the argument.
• 1:41:17
  Now Howk, kicking dirt.
• 1:41:20
  And here comes Hanks Gore, the second base on foul, but he's trying to calm things down a little bit.
• 1:41:25
  On the play, Howeserson, second base.
• 1:41:28
  the play will be the second baseman of the pitcher coming for the second out.
• 1:41:35
  And the batter will be Jake Gibbs when this argument subsides.
• 1:41:49
  Well, Sparmer now has to get this again.
• 1:41:54
  the potential tying run for the Yankees at second base.
• 1:41:59
  the argument is over.
• 1:42:02
  McCalloch was caught on a bang bang play at first base.
• 1:42:06
  So this big crowd out at seed yelling for Sparmer to get the last man and to bring the pennant home to Tiger Stadium for the first time since 1945.
• 1:42:20
  Listen to that crowd.
• 1:42:22
  Here's the set by Joe and Gibbs takes the ball outside of all one.
• 1:42:35
  the outfield is around the right. the next batter is Mickey Maddow.
• 1:42:39
  Two down and a nine.
• 1:42:45
  Now the set by Joe and the pit. Ring of the foul on the screen.
• 1:42:52
  One and one, McCalloch and Gibbs.
• 1:43:09
  the big crowd yelling now, Gibbs leaning and waiting.
• 1:43:14
  Two out, man on second is Hauser.
• 1:43:17
  And the one one pitch. He swings and there's a base hit for Cedar Field.
• 1:43:21
  Rounding third is Hauser. He's headed home and here's the throw.
• 1:43:24
  It won't be in time. the game's tied one to one in the ninth inning.
• 1:43:31
  So Gibbs singles under center field and the Yankees and the Tigers are tied one to one in the ninth inning with Mickey Maddow coming to bat.
• 1:43:45
  It's Maddow batting now and the pitch is cut out in this. He's going with third ball.
• 1:44:08
  Here's the set by Joe. the pitch to Mickey Maddow is a fastball high. One and one to count on Nick.
• 1:44:15
  Gibbs single with two down in the ninth inning. Tied to the ball game for the Yankees one to one.
• 1:44:21
  Hauser is scampering home on the single to center.
• 1:44:27
  Tigers have scored their run in the fifth.
• 1:44:33
  Here's a curve hung on in this. One ball to site.
• 1:44:55
  Now Joe taking his time ready to pitch to Maddow. Here comes a ball out of the play.
• 1:45:16
  Gibbs the man on first with two away. Yankees have tied the game one to one in the ninth inning.
• 1:45:23
  Here's the ball to three to the count on Nicky.
• 1:45:46
  Now the set by Sponger and the pitch is cut out.
• 1:45:56
  One run, two hits, no errors. One man left for New York.
• 1:46:00
  Here comes the Tigers to bat at the last half of the ninth inning. Yankees won, the Tigers won.
• 1:46:11
  the Yankees have made some changes. Steve Hamilton is coming to the mound now to replace Bonson the third.
• 1:46:17
  Hamilton the lean left hander with a record of two and one. They've got Ruben Amaro at shortstop.
• 1:46:24
  the rest of the infield I believe has stayed the same.
• 1:46:36
  Well Hamilton taking his tune up toss is now getting ready to pitch to the Tigers in the ninth inning.
• 1:46:45
  Here's a big change. Hamilton on the mound and Ruben Amaro at short.
• 1:47:09
  What a portion in cash will be the Tiger batters. Yankees won, the Tigers won in the ninth.
• 1:47:17
  Last half of the ninth inning.
• 1:47:24
  Yankees have six hits and the Yankees have five. Here's a cut and a miss by Jim for a strike.
• 1:47:39
  Here's the windup and the pitch is a ball outside one and one.
• 1:47:56
  Here's a strike, a curve across, one ball and two strikes.
• 1:48:03
  the umpire, Keneman, asking for a look at the baseball.
• 1:48:24
  It's a cut and a miss, he's stuck him out.
• 1:48:43
  Willie Horton the batter now, he's stuck out wide and hit into a double play.
• 1:48:51
  Yankees won, the Tigers won, it's the last half of the ninth inning.
• 1:49:12
  They're digging in waiting on the left hander Hamilton. It's the ball outside.
• 1:49:30
  Here's the windup and the pitch, the will, cut on a bonny ball, deep third, blocked by Amaro.
• 1:49:36
  He's out, that's two down now, but it's like ninth.
• 1:49:42
  And Al Kalein, that's the on deck special, he's coming in to bat for Norman Tad.
• 1:49:55
  Al Kalein in 91 games, a 283 batting average.
• 1:50:11
  It's a ball, oh from Hamilton, two down tonight, the game tied one to one.
• 1:50:24
  It's the ball, wide to Kalein, 2-0 to count on Al.
• 1:50:28
  the veteran of the Tigers, up there in the ninth inning with two out and nobody on the base.
• 1:50:37
  Now the motion and the pitch, the strike, the curve across, 2-1 to count on Al Kalein.
• 1:50:45
  Yankees tied the game here in the ninth.
• 1:50:54
  Here's the kick and the pitch, it's a ball and close, 3-1 to count on Kalein.
• 1:51:12
  Here's the windup, the pitch on the way, he takes the ball, gets the walk,
• 1:51:17
  two out walks to Kalein and the batter will be Bill Freehand.
• 1:51:32
  Nick Gimado holding at first base with Kalein, Yankees won, the Tigers won in the ninth inning.
• 1:51:45
  Bill swings and misses, strike one.
• 1:51:59
  Now tossed to first base by Hamilton and back in plenty of time is Kalein.
• 1:52:11
  Steve Reddy pitches, Freehand takes the ball, 1-1 to count.
• 1:52:29
  Outside, ball two, 2-1 to count.
• 1:52:47
  Here's a foul ball, hit out of play upstairs, 2-2.
• 1:53:10
  2-2 to count on Bill, run to go, pitches, hung on and fouled out of play.
• 1:53:17
  Still a 2-2 count on Freehand.
• 1:53:31
  Now Hamilton getting a new ball, ready to go to work again.
• 1:53:46
  That's the pitch, he swings, a line shot to the left and it is in for a big hit.
• 1:53:51
  Kalein taking second, holds on there, the Tigers have two minutes on and two minutes off.
• 1:53:58
  And Freehands, stopping at second is Kalein with two down at the Tiger ninth inning.
• 1:54:06
  Euler is not going to bat, we'll have a fence batter for him.
• 1:54:14
  And right, the catcher coming up to bat for the Euler, right batting 179.
• 1:54:34
  And as Penny is coming out of the Yankee dugout and walking to the mound.
• 1:54:49
  And we're going to get a new Yankee pitcher.
• 1:54:58
  And like Lindy McDaniel, the right-hand releaseer coming on.
• 1:55:11
  And Gates Brown is coming up the dugout step for the Tigers.
• 1:55:27
  Bryce, I assume, was announced so he'd be in the ball game.
• 1:55:32
  Gates is going to be announced now.
• 1:55:49
  Lindy McDaniel, the refugee from the National League taking over for the Yankees.
• 1:56:01
  And Gates Brown will be the batter.
• 1:56:09
  Gates has a fence batter only, it's hitting 459. For the entire season hitting 372.
• 1:56:32
  McDaniel taking his tune up top there.
• 1:56:37
  He's been a very sharp leaper since coming to the Yankees. He's won three and lost one.
• 1:56:53
  Gates Brown getting a cheer as he comes to that mound.
• 1:57:12
  Now here's Gates Brown batting now with a chance to knock in the winning run.
• 1:57:16
  Two men on and two men out. Came on at second and freehand on at first base.
• 1:57:21
  It's the nice hitting. And the pride of Tessline, Ohio, at the plate.
• 1:57:26
  McDaniel delivers, it's a ball outside.
• 1:57:32
  A face hit from Lewis right here, one-to-one tie.
• 1:57:43
  Now the set by McDaniel. And the pitch, it's a high one, ball two.
• 1:57:54
  He's in there with two men on and two men out.
• 1:57:58
  First two men were retired. A walk to K-line, a single by freehand.
• 1:58:06
  It's a ball, oh, freehand, oh, that's a down. On deck is Don Wirtz.
• 1:58:25
  K-line at second base represents the winning round, the 3-0 pitch.
• 1:58:31
  Ball in front, he gets a walk. Well, the Tigers have loaded the bases in the ninth inning.
• 1:58:41
  And Don Wirtz will be the batter.
• 1:58:45
  Wirtz has bounced to third, fly to left and fly to center.
• 1:58:51
  Three men on, two men down.
• 1:58:55
  Tigers with a chance to win it right here, one-to-one tie in the ninth inning.
• 1:59:00
  Don Wirtz batting against McDaniel.
• 1:59:06
  the outfield is straight away, the infield bat.
• 1:59:10
  the windup and the pitch, he takes the ball in high, ball one.
• 1:59:28
  McDaniel on the bound, ready to deal again.
• 1:59:31
  Where does it play? K-line is the winning run over their third base.
• 1:59:36
  Here's the windup, the pitch is high, football two, two adults.
• 1:59:43
  K-line breaking down the line that time.
• 2:00:02
  Now waiting on a 2-0 delivery.
• 2:00:06
  Here's the windup and the pitch is the strike call, two and one.
• 2:00:24
  Two down, three men on, game tied, one-to-one in the ninth inning.
• 2:00:28
  the pitch, Wirtz swings a foul, fly it will be out of play, 2-2 to count on Don.
• 2:00:42
  Now this big crowd here ready to break loose.
• 2:00:45
  Three men on, two men out, game tied, one-to-one in the ninth inning.
• 2:00:51
  McDaniel checking his time with Jake Gibb.
• 2:00:55
  Lee Paul, right-hander, ready to go to work again.
• 2:01:00
  And the windup and the pitch, he swings a line shot, base hit, right field, the Tigers win it.
• 2:01:06
  Here comes K-line to score and it's all over.
• 2:01:09
  Don works singles, the Tigers mobbed on, K-line is scored, the fans are steaming on the field,
• 2:01:16
  and the Tigers have won their first pennant since 1945.
• 2:01:21
  Let's listen to the bad numbers here at Tigers Stadium.
• 2:01:37
  the Tigers are being mobbed as they go to their dugout.
• 2:01:41
  They'll hardly make it.
• 2:01:43
  Confetti in the air, fireworks in the air, and the crowd continues to yell,
• 2:01:50
  constantly here at Tigers Stadium, work singles, K-line scoring from third base,
• 2:01:57
  and the Tigers win the pennant for 1968.
• 2:02:04
  And they've posted the Boston score now, Boston 2 and Baltimore nothing.
• 2:02:12
  So a gigantic mob has gathered in front of the Tiger dugout.
• 2:02:16
  I don't know whether those players will ever get to the dugout.
• 2:02:21
  the crowd's still yelling.
• 2:02:24
  the Tigers coming in the ninth inning, leading 1 to nothing.
• 2:02:28
  Then the Yankees tied it in their half of the night.
• 2:02:31
  And with 2 out, a Wapsa K-line, a single by Freehand, a Wapsa Gates Brown,
• 2:02:36
  and a bases loaded single by Don Wirt driving home out K-line
• 2:02:41
  with a winning run in the last half of the ninth inning.
• 2:02:44
  So the Tigers in the ninth get one run, two hits, they win no Yankee errors,
• 2:02:49
  three runners are left, and the final score here at Tigers Stadium tonight
• 2:02:55
  was the Tigers with two runs, eight hits, no errors, Yankees won it.
• 2:02:59
  Thank you!
• 2:03:00
  Five hits and no errors.
• 2:03:02
  Farmer is the winning pitcher, and Hamilton, who puts the winning run on the bases,
• 2:03:09
  is the losing pitcher.
• 2:03:11
  So the man who started out in the doghouse, Joe Farmer,
• 2:03:14
  fits friendly, knocked in one run, and ended up as the winning pitcher.
• 2:03:20
  I don't know what that's here for.
• 2:03:24
  It's just a last thing.
• 2:03:29
  Now Ray Lane is in the Tiger Clubhouse, and I imagine quite a few things are popping down there.
• 2:03:35
  Ray, right behind you, we're in the Tiger Clubhouse,
• 2:03:38
  and here's your winner, the pinnate winner.
• 2:03:41
  It's a big night right now.
• 2:03:43
  And the man who started out as a bit of a surprise pitcher tonight,
• 2:03:47
  a fellow that's been in the doghouse, a guy that hasn't worked since the second of this month,
• 2:03:51
  Joe Farmer, congratulations.
• 2:03:53
  Thanks, Ray.
• 2:03:54
  Thank you very much.
• 2:03:56
  Great to be a part of it, I'll tell you.
• 2:03:58
  Joe, you had to feel a little down the last double of a month.
• 2:04:01
  Yeah, I did.
• 2:04:02
  I think I won this game for the people who had faith in me,
• 2:04:05
  and I guess my wife was one for her.
• 2:04:07
  I'll tell you, it was a great thrill.
• 2:04:10
  It was supposed to be Wilson.
• 2:04:12
  He came up with a little bit of a door on.
• 2:04:14
  You got the call.
• 2:04:15
  What went through your mind?
• 2:04:16
  Well, it was funny.
• 2:04:17
  I usually go right to the bullpen, and I just went on the bench to sit before I went to the ballgame.
• 2:04:21
  I went out to the bullpen, and they said,
• 2:04:23
  Earl couldn't pitch.
• 2:04:24
  There's some kid after my autograph.
• 2:04:26
  He said, Joe, can I have your autograph?
• 2:04:28
  And the man said, Farmer, can you pitch?
• 2:04:30
  I said, sure I can pitch.
• 2:04:31
  So I said, lucky start, I guess.
• 2:04:33
  I don't know if there are any kind of pitch tonight that you've seen with most of my fastball.
• 2:04:37
  I try to think of the guys play beautiful defense,
• 2:04:40
  go through some key plays out.
• 2:04:42
  It was just tremendous.
• 2:04:43
  I'm really glad I was part of that ballclub.
• 2:04:45
  Joe Farmer, congratulations, and we'll see you around on the St. Louis Garden.
• 2:04:49
  Thank you.
• 2:04:50
  Nice job.
• 2:04:51
  Pat Dobson, come on up here, Pat.
• 2:04:53
  You haven't worked in a while.
• 2:04:54
  Oh, yeah, yeah, baby.
• 2:04:55
  Pat Dobson, it hasn't worked in quite a while.
• 2:04:57
  Pat, you started to warm up tonight.
• 2:04:59
  I didn't need you.
• 2:05:00
  No, I'm glad I didn't either.
• 2:05:01
  I'd like to see Joe win that ballgame.
• 2:05:03
  That was a great show for him, I imagine.
• 2:05:05
  Listen, what about as far as Farmer?
• 2:05:07
  He had to really be a surprise tonight.
• 2:05:09
  Yeah, I think this will do more to boost Joe's morale and spirits and everything.
• 2:05:14
  I think it's just the greatest thing that could have happened to the guy.
• 2:05:16
  And I'm really happy for him and for everybody else.
• 2:05:18
  All right, Pat, get back to the jam.
• 2:05:20
  Okay, thank you.
• 2:05:22
  Hey, Bill, hey, freehand.
• 2:05:25
  Tiger Clubhouse going a little bit on the wild side right now.
• 2:05:29
  You can't blame them.
• 2:05:30
  Hey, Mickey, come on over here.
• 2:05:32
  Mickey Stanley, congratulations, Mickey, baby.
• 2:05:35
  Nice game, buddy.
• 2:05:36
  Thank you very much.
• 2:05:37
  What a thrill.
• 2:05:38
  Great thrill.
• 2:05:39
  Listen, let me tell you, I just want to find out right now,
• 2:05:41
  the ball club came in behind like they have all year long.
• 2:05:44
  Right, we expect to win the bottom of the ninth.
• 2:05:47
  We just set the stage again.
• 2:05:48
  We thought Gator Brown was going to do it, but I think they were afraid of him.
• 2:05:51
  You know, John was a fellow that's had a pretty rough season at the plate,
• 2:05:54
  came through for it.
• 2:05:55
  Right, and Joe Farmer did a whale of a job.
• 2:05:57
  It's good to see two guys end up having a good year like that.
• 2:05:59
  Mickey, you've had a great year.
• 2:06:00
  Continue success.
• 2:06:01
  We'll see you in a few.
• 2:06:02
  Thank you, Ray.
• 2:06:03
  Thank you.

  Hey, right now, manager Mayo Smith taking six bottles of champagne.
• 2:06:08
  Hey, Jimmy McClain.
• 2:06:09
  Hey, Jimmy.
• 2:06:10
  Hey, Jim.
• 2:06:11
  Jim Northrup right now.
• 2:06:16
  Jim, how about your feelings at this time?
• 2:06:18
  Oh, I'm happy, Ray.
• 2:06:19
  We look forward to this ever since I got in baseball,
• 2:06:21
  a year and a half.
• 2:06:22
  We feel great.
• 2:06:23
  Everybody does.
• 2:06:24
  I tell you, this is going on a champagne, going pretty good.
• 2:06:27
  Well, we won it just like we won them all year.
• 2:06:29
  It was nice seeing you again.
• 2:06:31
  I never had to know.
• 2:06:32
  Was there a little bit of doubt at all after the bottle?
• 2:06:34
  A couple nights?
• 2:06:35
  No, as long as we're tied, we knew we had a shot at it.
• 2:06:38
  We're just trying to win the ball game.
• 2:06:40
  I'm not worried about it too much.
• 2:06:41
  That's going, buddy.
• 2:06:42
  We'll see you later on.
• 2:06:44
  Right, I got manager Mayo Smith over here right now,
• 2:06:47
  a man that's been dunked by about five bottles of champagne.
• 2:06:50
  He is sopping wet.
• 2:06:56
  He's been up here and, of course, came back and did a great job.
• 2:07:00
  There's a lot of tough ones with you.
• 2:07:02
  Is this the toughest?
• 2:07:03
  Well, I wouldn't say this was the toughest, no,
• 2:07:06
  but it ended up the way we wanted it to.
• 2:07:09
  We won it even though we knew that Baltimore had lost.
• 2:07:13
  So it's a very happy day.
• 2:07:15
  And, of course, these guys just played great all year.
• 2:07:20
  I'm happy first for them.
• 2:07:23
  And, of course, John Fester, the Tiger organization,
• 2:07:27
  last but not least the fans.
• 2:07:29
  They waited a long time for this.
• 2:07:30
  Did you age a little bit in that night, buddy?
• 2:07:32
  No, I didn't age.
• 2:07:33
  I've aged all through the season, but it's been so great.
• 2:07:39
  These boys have just played terrific.
• 2:07:41
  Simply, you had a couple of guys that had rough years,
• 2:07:43
  Bama and Godword at the plate,
• 2:07:45
  and they both came to you for the night.
• 2:07:47
  Well, this has been the way our club has been.
• 2:07:52
  I know it's an old cliché, but believe me,
• 2:07:55
  this is a team effort.
• 2:07:57
  Each and every one of these 25 have contributed.
• 2:08:01
  What good words, campaign, baby.
• 2:08:04
  I love it.
• 2:08:06
  Mario Smith and somebody just took their shaving cream
• 2:08:11
  and put it on his head.
• 2:08:12
  Hey, K-line, Al.
• 2:08:14
  Hey, Al.
• 2:08:15
  Al, you got a sucker, baby.
• 2:08:16
  Al K-line.
• 2:08:17
  Al, this is going to be probably your happiest moment, isn't it?
• 2:08:19
  Yeah, it really is, buddy.
• 2:08:20
  I've been waiting a long time, so has a lot of people around here,
• 2:08:22
  but it really was exciting.
• 2:08:24
  the team's played hard all year long,
• 2:08:25
  and it's been a typical finish of the Tigers.
• 2:08:28
  It was just great.
• 2:08:30
  Joe Sparman fits in a great game.
• 2:08:32
  With the abuse he's got to go through all year,
• 2:08:34
  and we were really wanting him to win the game one to nothing
• 2:08:36
  because he deserves it.
• 2:08:38
  He's tried hard all year long, and it's really a happy moment.
• 2:08:41
  It's typical of the way the Tigers have played all year.
• 2:08:43
  Al, a frustrating year for you,
• 2:08:45
  but you managed to be on base to score the winning run.
• 2:08:48
  Well, it was a big thrill for me.
• 2:08:50
  I felt that I would do something to win the ball game if I got in there,
• 2:08:53
  and I didn't know how I was going to do it,
• 2:08:55
  but I had a feeling it was going to be my night.
• 2:08:57
  I didn't do much.
• 2:08:58
  I got on base and I scored a winning run, but it was a big thrill for me.
• 2:09:01
  You've had a lot of wonderful things happen to you over the years.
• 2:09:04
  You've always wanted the American league, but after that,
• 2:09:06
  I think you'll probably have one more team to go, don't you?
• 2:09:09
  Well, I think we're going to be pretty good in this series.
• 2:09:12
  the Cardinals are a mighty tough ball club,
• 2:09:14
  and we have to be mighty good to beat them,
• 2:09:16
  but nothing surprised me the way our team has played,
• 2:09:18
  but we're going to have to be mighty lucky to beat the Cardinals.
• 2:09:21
  Al Kaelin, thank you so much. Congratulations.
• 2:09:23
  Thank you.
• 2:09:24
  Well, a lot of activity right now as they are giving a champagne all over here.
• 2:09:30
  Trying to duck out of the way to see if we can find Mr. Setzer.
• 2:09:33
  He has been dunked pretty well by some champagne.
• 2:09:35
  I think possibly he has left.
• 2:09:37
  Wally Moses.
• 2:09:40
  Wally.
• 2:09:42
  Wally, can you come over for just a second?
• 2:09:44
  Wally Moses, first base coach, and Wally,
• 2:09:46
  you've certainly done a wonderful job with these boys for the past year.
• 2:09:49
  Thanks, Ray. Thanks.
• 2:09:51
  All these kids have been great, and somebody came through for us every day.
• 2:09:56
  Wally, a guy that had a lot of trouble at the plate this year,
• 2:09:58
  John Wirtz, comes up to be the batting hero at least to drive in that winning run.
• 2:10:02
  That's great, and Palmer, who's also had a tough year,
• 2:10:05
  he's picked a way a little ball game.
• 2:10:07
  All right, now how do you stack this up against the famous Cardinals?
• 2:10:11
  I think we can beat them.
• 2:10:12
  I hope you're right.
• 2:10:13
  I think we've got a good camp.
• 2:10:15
  All right, Wally, congratulations again. Thank you, Parker.
• 2:10:17
  Thank you, Ray.
• 2:10:19
  Still roaming around out here in the old Happy Tiger Clubhouse now,
• 2:10:23
  the first American lieutenant for the Detroit Tigers in 23 years.
• 2:10:29
  Go Tigers! Go Tigers! Go Tigers!
• 2:10:43
  the Alec Tigers give it off with a little bit of a champ right now.
• 2:10:46
  Let's see if we can get over here to reach the Tiger president, Mr. John Fetzer.
• 2:10:52
  Right now we get up here, and one Alec with a bottle of champagne.
• 2:10:57
  Mr. Fetzer, congratulations.
• 2:11:04
  Well, I'm not very good at giving play-by-play description to Ray,
• 2:11:10
  but that was the finest toss of water I've ever seen tossed on Jim Campbell's ball head.
• 2:11:16
  And this is the greatest testimony I know to the greatest ball club in the world today.
• 2:11:20
  Mr. Fetzer, I want to say one thing.
• 2:11:22
  You have tried for the past two years to build yourself a penitent tender.
• 2:11:26
  You got it tonight.
• 2:11:28
  This is the climax of a long, long, cold winter night.
• 2:11:32
  But I tell you right now, it's warm indeed.
• 2:11:35
  Mr. Fetzer, again, congratulations to you for all your fine work.
• 2:11:39
  Thank you very much, Ray.
• 2:11:40
  See if we can't sneak over right now.
• 2:11:42
  And there goes the champagne down the back right now.
• 2:11:45
  If we can't sneak over and try to reach Jim Campbell,
• 2:11:48
  who is over in the corner of the Tiger dressing room now shaking hands with some of his players.
• 2:11:53
  And see if we can get our mic cable over there.
• 2:11:58
  Mickey, can you get Mr. Campbell for us over there?
• 2:12:00
  Mickey, look, it's trying to get Jim, as you heard Mr. Fetzer say.
• 2:12:05
  Trying to take care of that friendly hair,
• 2:12:09
  that amount of hair he has on his head when he got a bucket of water.
• 2:12:13
  Jim, congratulations.
• 2:12:14
  Well, we're real, real happy.
• 2:12:16
  I tell you, real happy.
• 2:12:17
  You don't have to worry about it.
• 2:12:19
  You think you've been so close for a few days but one it comes is,
• 2:12:23
  you think, well, you won't get exciting,
• 2:12:26
  but by golly it's just wonderful.
• 2:12:27
  but by golly it's just wonderful.
• 2:12:29
  Jim, you've had a hero in about every ball game, over here.
• 2:12:42
  Jim, you've had a hero in about every ball game, over here.
• 2:12:46
  There's really no one here in this club.
• 2:12:48
  three bunch of kids and I think they're just great.
• 2:12:52
  the best is certainly pay off for all the hours and days and months of hard work trying to build up the financial business.
• 2:12:57
  Yeah, and years.
• 2:12:58
  Okay, you look great with that bill file again.
• 2:13:01
  Jim Campbell, General Manager and Vice President of the Detroit Tigers.
• 2:13:06
  I'm going to flip right back in here if we can and get out of the bath right now.
• 2:13:11
  We're in the clubhouse of the victorious Detroit Tigers as they win the 1968 American League credits.
• 2:13:19
  Right now, trying to get out of that mic court, right down there.
• 2:13:27
  There we go.
• 2:13:28
  We make it right now.
• 2:13:30
  So many, as we mentioned, so many heroes on this Tiger team this year.
• 2:13:36
  And the champagne's still going in pretty good shape.
• 2:13:40
  Hey, Tommy.
• 2:13:41
  Hey, Tommy.
• 2:13:42
  Tommy.
• 2:13:43
  Tommy.
• 2:13:44
  Tommy Macchuk.
• 2:13:45
  Tommy Macchuk.
• 2:13:46
  Congratulations, buddy.
• 2:13:47
  Thank you, Ray.
• 2:13:48
  Thank you.
• 2:13:49
  It's wonderful.
• 2:13:50
  I mean, it's basically for me what a way to break in for a rookie.
• 2:13:56
  I mean, that's all I can say.
• 2:13:57
  I say, first year man, you've covered what?
• 2:14:00
  Second, short, third, a little bit of first?
• 2:14:03
  Oh, well, first, second, short.
• 2:14:05
  Well, I think I can live with it and Matthew's handled third because that's a little too close for me.
• 2:14:12
  Tommy, you've had an awful lot of work now at shortstop in the past few weeks with the Tigers.
• 2:14:17
  And it looks like everything is sort of falling in place with you.
• 2:14:21
  What about the hitting right now?
• 2:14:22
  You seem to be coming around a little bit.
• 2:14:23
  Yes, I've come around quite a bit, Ray.
• 2:14:26
  I'm trying to go through the middle, except tonight, again, I just, a couple pitches, I tried to fully hung me a couple curveballs,
• 2:14:33
  and I tried to pull on the best I could do and hit them back over his head.
• 2:14:36
  And they either got me a first or they got Norman third on one play.
• 2:14:39
  Tommy, best of luck the rest of the way in and best of luck in the series.
• 2:14:43
  Thank you, Ray. It's great.
• 2:14:44
  Tommy Maciek.
• 2:14:46
  Well, things are popping around here.
• 2:14:48
  Let's see if we can't get Bill free.
• 2:14:49
  And then over here, hey Bill, come on over.
• 2:14:53
  Congratulations, buddy.
• 2:14:54
  A great season.
• 2:14:55
  Thanks a lot, Ray.
• 2:14:56
  I'll tell you, it's the greatest throw of my life.
• 2:14:57
  I never cried before, I don't think.
• 2:14:59
  I was crying when I left that field. It's sort of hard to describe.
• 2:15:03
  You know, you think you never cry as a man, but I did.
• 2:15:06
  Bill, you had a wonderful season, but I'd like to change the subject to your roommate, a fellow by the name of Joe Sparba.
• 2:15:11
  He was unbelievable. I don't know how he did it on such a short notice like that, just walking out there.
• 2:15:15
  I was, you know, I was feeling sorry for him in a way.
• 2:15:19
  Things are going for him this year, but I think this makes a heck of a season out of a mediocre season for him.
• 2:15:25
  Was there any point in the ninth inning that you thought, well, maybe we might be in trouble?
• 2:15:31
  Well, you always think about that.
• 2:15:34
  Basically, we didn't do anything and we didn't want to give up a home run,
• 2:15:38
  because that's going to take you out of the ballgame.
• 2:15:41
  We tried to make the guy hit a fastball and keep the ball down, and he did.
• 2:15:44
  He hit it right back to the middle, but missed one of those things.
• 2:15:48
  He could have hit it right at somebody.
• 2:15:49
  Bill, you had a chance to gun down a couple of runners in the Yankees tonight,
• 2:15:53
  and you had some fired shots down there, or else they decided not to go on you.
• 2:15:57
  You're going to have a little test in the series against a few of those cardinals, aren't you?
• 2:16:01
  Oh, we'll have some fun. Basically, you've got to try to keep those guys off the base,
• 2:16:04
  because that's the whole base of their attack.
• 2:16:06
  But it's a picture gives you a good shot, and it helps to catch it a lot.
• 2:16:11
  Joe was pretty careful with the guys on base tonight, and he gave me a pretty good shot to throw some of the guys out.
• 2:16:16
  Well, you look awfully good at champagne, buddy. Congratulations.
• 2:16:19
  Thanks a lot, Ray. It was great.
• 2:16:21
  Yeah, and I certainly had a great season for the Detroit Joggers,
• 2:16:24
  and I helped them on their way to the 1968 American League Senate.
• 2:16:28
  Hey, Mickey.
• 2:16:29
  Mickey Lowley. Say we can't get the old left hander over here, Mickey.
• 2:16:32
  Hey, buddy, you must be pretty good feeling.
• 2:16:35
  Oh, I tell you, Ray, it's great. I don't know what to say.
• 2:16:37
  I mean, we had a feeling, you know, we were going to win us the spring training,
• 2:16:40
  and here we are, and we're the happiest people in the world right now.
• 2:16:43
  You know, you're talking about that feeling. I think it was very prevalent in spring training.
• 2:16:46
  It was sort of a silent thought that all you guys had seemed like dedication.
• 2:16:50
  You knew you could do it.
• 2:16:51
  Well, everybody said in spring training, I mean, how do we feel after last year
• 2:16:54
  when we come so close and miss?
• 2:16:56
  And we said, well, we knew what it was like there.
• 2:16:58
  We were all more experienced, and I think today we have proved
• 2:17:01
  that we did gain more experience last year,
• 2:17:03
  and I think there's a great future for the Detroit Tigers in the next few years in Detroit.
• 2:17:07
  Mickey, you've had that in and out season, at least the first three months of the season,
• 2:17:11
  you seem to be on the right track again.
• 2:17:13
  Well, you know Mickey Lowley, he always seems to come along when he has to,
• 2:17:16
  so I'm real glad I could do it.
• 2:17:18
  Mickey, you've done a wonderful job, and good luck the remaining of the season,
• 2:17:22
  and good luck in the series.
• 2:17:24
  Thank you very much, Ray. Thank you.
• 2:17:26
  Mickey Lowley certainly did a wonderful job, and right now,
• 2:17:30
  the man who seems to be a very happy man, the true God of the Detroit Tigers, Ed Catalina.
• 2:17:37
  And, Ed, congratulations to you.
• 2:17:39
  You've seen some of these boys from boys go into manhood tonight.
• 2:17:43
  Ray, this ball club started with the signing of Alec K. Lerner in 53.
• 2:17:47
  Plus the advent of Tiger Town, along come Mr. Fessler, and give us one word,
• 2:17:54
  build from within, and this is the result of his philosophy of the money's expended.
• 2:18:00
  Fellas like Rick Farrow, Jim Campbell, Don Lund, Ralph Snyder,
• 2:18:06
  are wonderful managers and are good scouting staff.
• 2:18:09
  I'll say one thing, Ed, and you're not going to stop here.
• 2:18:12
  It looks like these boys have to come through in a series.
• 2:18:15
  They're going to go all the way, all, all the way.
• 2:18:18
  Ed Catalina, thanks very much.
• 2:18:23
  Right now, let's see if we can't get ahold of Fred Lacher over here, Fred.
• 2:18:27
  How you doing, Ray?
• 2:18:28
  How you doing?
• 2:18:29
  Oh, Christ, this is the best thing that ever happened in the world.
• 2:18:32
  What a good thing it happened.
• 2:18:34
  It's something everybody dreams of, I guess, as a youngster,
• 2:18:37
  and never realized it could possibly happen to you someday.
• 2:18:39
  It's fantastic.
• 2:18:41
  It's been quite, at this point, the last couple of weeks, the bullpen has not seen any action.
• 2:18:46
  Looks like you'll get some work, though, maybe a little bit in the series, huh?
• 2:18:50
  Well, that'd be nice, but if we keep going like this, we know we're winning anyway.
• 2:18:54
  As long as the bullpen's not working, we know we're in good shape.
• 2:18:56
  Fred, congratulations to you, buddy. Have a good time.
• 2:18:58
  Thank you, Ray.
• 2:19:02
  A lot happening out here in the Tiger Grassing Room.
• 2:19:06
  Let's see if we can't get the old rancher, Stormin' Norman Cash, if we can get over that far.
• 2:19:10
  How you doing?
• 2:19:12
  Over there.
• 2:19:14
  Norman, congratulations, buddy.
• 2:19:16
  How you doing?
• 2:19:16
  Good to see you.
• 2:19:17
  You've been a great year, Norman.
• 2:19:19
  Well, it damn true has. I mean, we played hard. We played hard.
• 2:19:23
  When you were going to win, believe me, we were.
• 2:19:25
  You know, this ball putt has been a loose putt, too, hasn't it?
• 2:19:28
  Well, we've kept it loose. I mean, there was no reason for us to ever get tight.
• 2:19:33
  the only time it looked like it might get a lot of time was over in New York,
• 2:19:37
  so we knew we were going to win, and myself and K-line, you know, the older players,
• 2:19:42
  we knew we'd been there before, and so we kept it loose.
• 2:19:46
  Really, we enjoyed it.
• 2:19:47
  Norman, I want to say one thing. You got off to another slow start this year.
• 2:19:50
  You're gunning that ball pretty well right now.
• 2:19:52
  Just a minute, Ray. Just a minute, Ray. We'll see you later.
• 2:19:55
  Hey, hi, you sports fans. This is Jim Nogip, interviewing the game boys.
• 2:19:58
  Hey, you guys. See you later, Ray.
• 2:20:02
  Hey, Ray, how are you?
• 2:20:07
  Hey, let me interview. Come here.
• 2:20:10
  Come here. Come here. We're on the news. Come here.
• 2:20:13
  Come on, baby.
• 2:20:14
  Here we have Don Worthy, who drove in the clutch with him around the night to beat him 2 to 1.
• 2:20:18
  How do you feel right now?
• 2:20:19
  Jim, I feel real good. I'm just glad to come through that great big hit.
• 2:20:22
  Oh, boy, Don, I knew you could do it all along.
• 2:20:24
  How about a waste final pitch? That was great, wasn't it?
• 2:20:27
  That was real good, Jim. I'd say it was good.
• 2:20:28
  Hey, Hawk, Hawk, come out here. Hawk, come out here.
• 2:20:32
  Hawk, come here, Hawk. Hawk.
• 2:20:38
  We're on the radio or whatever we're on. How do you feel about this season, Hawk?
• 2:20:42
  Hey, great box office, buddy.
• 2:20:44
  Hey, Hawk.
• 2:20:47
  Hey, here, folks.
• 2:20:48
  There's a fellow.
• 2:20:49
  Pull him back.
• 2:20:50
  There's a fellow you might not know. This is K.O. Tobin, the world's greatest fighter and greatest lover at the same time.
• 2:20:56
  K.O., what do you think, babe?
• 2:20:58
  Oh, why not?
• 2:21:01
  Okay. Mr. Fetzer, could I have you on the radio? I'll be on the field this time.
• 2:21:06
  Is this a live mic or a demo?
• 2:21:08
  This is a live mic.
• 2:21:09
  This is a live mic.
• 2:21:10
  Yes, sir.
• 2:21:11
  Well, I want to tell you, if I could be interviewed by our right fielder, for me, it's okay.
• 2:21:18
  Okay, Mr. Fetzer.
• 2:21:20
  Happy New Year. I'm going to take it back over to Ray Lane.
• 2:21:22
  That a boy. Whoa. You a rat.
• 2:21:25
  I tell you, I found out what the whirlpool feels like right now, Mr. Fetzer.
• 2:21:29
  Thank you, Jim, for doing a show.
• 2:21:31
  Well, I want to tell you right now, the whirlpool campaign is all wet, but it's all good tonight.
• 2:21:37
  I'm glad I wore a wash and dry shirt tonight.
• 2:21:39
  So did I.
• 2:21:40
  Thank you again, Mr. Fetzer.
• 2:21:41
  You bet.
• 2:21:42
  Oh, that was something. I got dunked by Hitler and Thompson in that whirlpool.
• 2:21:46
  And if it doesn't freeze tonight, I won't go home with stiff clothes on, that's for sure.
• 2:21:52
  God work. Congratulations.
• 2:21:54
  Thank you, Ray. Thank you very much. I feel real great.
• 2:21:56
  It's been a little bit of a frustrating year, but that for you, it came to an economy.
• 2:22:03
  Thank you, Ray. I was real happy. the main thing I didn't want to go very well is to strike out.
• 2:22:07
  I just want to hit the ball somewhere.
• 2:22:09
  And he did. He did.
• 2:22:11
  Ray Euler, he certainly did.
• 2:22:13
  You're an apple. I tell you, everybody on the bench knew he was going to do it.
• 2:22:17
  That's just the way we've been playing all year. When Johnny went up forever, I knew he was going to do it.
• 2:22:21
  This has been a sort of a, not a strange season, that's not the right word, but we've had a hero,
• 2:22:27
  it seems like in every ball game, a different guy.
• 2:22:30
  It's been a great year for the full roster, hasn't it?
• 2:22:32
  It sure has, Ray. We plan for the next few years to be just the same.
