On the mound for the Cincinnata Reds.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Bob Burkey. You know, fans, like a lot of ballplayers
these days, I just don't like the harsh taste of
an unfilled cigarette anymore. But when they came to choosing
the right fielder cigarette, I used to get my signals crossed.
Some taste it's so strong, I might as well not
have switched the filler cigarettes at all. Another tastes are

(01:31):
so light that all the fun and flavor was gone
from smoking. Then I discovered Vice Roy. What a difference.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Weice Roy tastes the way you'd like a filtered.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Cigarette to taste. Not too strong, not too light.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Weice Roy's got the taste. That's right.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Soul fans, Remember there's a big difference in the taste
of filler.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Cigarettes, and you can prove it for yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Smoke all seven leading fillered cigarettes and I'll bet you'll
find some taste too strong to light. But Vice Roy's
got the taste.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
That's right. That's right.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Get Vice Roy today. While the starting pitchers in today's game,
Bob Miller for the New York Mets, working on his
second start of the season. He appeared in one other
start against Pittsburgh and was.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
The losing pitcher by a score of eight to four.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
In that game, he worked five and one third innings,
giving up six hit.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Five runs, all earned.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
He walked to and struck out one Their goalie's just
had a red out of the field.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
And the starting pitcher.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
For the Cincinnati Reds, the veteran of many seasons, Bob Perky.
He will be making his fourth start of the season.
He has a record of two wins and no losses.
Right now, ladies and gentlemen, our national anthem.

Speaker 5 (03:03):
Who.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
What miss Mary and Austin singing our national anthem? It's

(04:42):
a beautiful night for baseball here in cincinn Out of
the temperature today.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Right around eighty degrees tell a small amount of twilight
in the sky and at baseball.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Here at Crosley Field. The second game played in Crosley
Field by the.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
New York Mets.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
They lost the first one last night. The dimensions of
the ballpar down the left field line. It's three hundred
and twenty eight feet out in left field. Behind the
left fielder, it goes out to three seventy eight. Then
there's a high scoreboard that runs approximately fifty to sixty
feet in the air, moving over to almost left center.

(05:16):
The deepest part of the left center field area is
three hundred and eighty three feet, and then a fence
extends across to right center field three hundred and ninety feet,
coming down towards the right field foul line fowle line
being three hundred and sixty six feet away, and in
right center field, right in back of the right fielder,
it's three hundred and sixty feet. It's an unusual ballpark,

(05:38):
and it's a good ballpark for hitters. Hitters being able
to hit straight away in the ballpark and take a
betty to the short center field fence.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Over're all set to go.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
As Richie Ashburn steps in, he'll be leading off for
the Mets against Bob Perkey. Perkey's first start was against
Las Angles, and he won that by a score six
to three, work seven to one third innings, allowing six hits,
two runs both earned, walking three and striking out one.
His second stars against San Francisco, and he won that

(06:08):
one by a score of.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Four to three. His first pitch to Richie.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Ashburn to curveball strike one call.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
In Berkey's third start, he was not the pitcher of
record the Cincinnati Reds lost that game to San Francisco.
In that game, he worked six and two thirds innings,
giving up ten hits in five runs. Now the right
hander to the left ended batter with a change up,
it's hit through the hole in the right field of base,
said Sart Richie Ashburn, who came in at three to sixteen,

(06:40):
picks up the first base.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
End of the game.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
He's down at first base and that will bring up
Elio Chacombe playing at short stop.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Chicombe betting two eighty six. He has four hits and
fourteen times at bat and he is driven in two runs.
He bets on the right hand side looking down. Now
Sally Hemus for the sign as to what he will
do at the plate. Hemus coaching at third base. At
first base, Cookie Lavaghetto Helo, former Cincinnati Red League. In

(07:14):
the batter's box, Bob Perky throws a slider, a curve ball,
a fastball, and a knuckleball. First bitch as a runner
goes is said, buy the third basement out in the
left field. Ashburn's gonna drive for third. Post us up
on the ball to throw the slide, and no playing
over the second base.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
You go and go in and dog.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
So Ashburn on the hit run.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Bay Ley gets third base safely, but you're going on
the throw to third base, try to stretch his single
into a second base and.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
He couldn't make it.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
If you're scoring.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
He went from the left fielder to the third baseman
and then.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Over to the second baseman.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Seven to five to four to gon out one out
a runner at third. Now Gus Bell steps in. He
bats from the left hand side.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Gus matting one eighty two at six hits and thirty
three times at bat of the season.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
He played here in this ballpark.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Last year for Cincinnata. He had a two to fifty
five year for the Red Legs. In sixty one, the
first pitch swung on and filed tip back of the
catcher's gloves, strike one in field, playing in against Gus
Bell with a runner at third base. Defensively for the Reds,

(08:37):
Edward's the catcher at first base, Coleman at second base,
Lasting Game at short stop, Cardinas at third base, cast
Goo Bob Burkiy on the mound into the four wind
up ben. The one strike pitch swung on a knuckleball
filed out of the dirt, Strike two. In the outfield while.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
He posted left field in centerfield, Vta Benson in right.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Field, Frank Robinson the umpires in the night's game, al
Foreman behind home plate, Tom Gorman at first base, Bill
Jenkowski at second, and at pseudo at third. Ball game
just getting underway here at at actually crasy Field in Cincinnata.

(09:23):
Two strike pitch to guts, foul chip back on the
area back of home plate and the count of hold
it on to another knuckleball by Bob Burkey. Burkey and
ex Pittsburgh Byrett, has had some great seasons for the
Cincinnati Reds. Last year, he won sixteen and lost twelve

(09:49):
for Cincinnata as they.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Won the National League Pennant.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Again a foul back as Burkey drives the fastball, so
the cap will stay at no balls and two strikes
with one out Ashburn at third base and no score
on the game.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Burkey, at thirty.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
Two year old right.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Hander, has posted winning marks of seventeen, thirteen, seventeen and
sixteen games since coming to Cincinnati from Pittsburgh. In nineteen
fifty seven.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
He was in a trade for Don Goss.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
A knuckleball outside ball, one one ball in two strikes
in nineteen sixty one and thirty six games. Burkey, with
a sixteen and twelve mark, had a three point seven
three her run average. He worked two hundred and forty

(10:52):
six innings and he walked only fifty one struck out
one hundred and sixteen. This is his fourth start of
the season. One two pitch the bell inside a slider,
ball two, two balls and two strikes.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
Now the right enter looking for a sign from John Edwards.
A catcher working carefully with a runner third didn't fill in,
has a two to two count into the wind up
and the pitch the bell and knuckleball that's down lord, actually.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Ball three.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Bell strikes the first page thinking.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
It was ball four and it is ball not and
he cast.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Him back and there's the logument at home plate. Bell
thought it was ball four. Umpire said it was.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
Ball three, and so Bell has a three.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
To two count and he comes back to home play.
The scoreboard have it posted at two and two before
the pitch, so that makes it three and two.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
On the scoreboard.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
And that's the right ball and strike count. Gus Bell
batting with a three to two count and one out.
They on deck batter Frank Commons. Now the four wind
up and the full count pitch fill a ways.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Oh Bell will have another.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Shot at Bob Burkey with a count three balls and
two strikes. Just a slight breeze blowing towards left field,
not enough to really affect the ball hit in the air.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Burkey, six foot two, gets the.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Side on the mound, now shakes off the first one,
whips his group back and forth takes the second goes
in the line up, and the three two bitch filed
back on the screen. So Gus stays alive once again,
three balls and two strikes. Last year, Turkey started thirty

(13:22):
four games for the Cincinnati Reds, a lot of starts.
He was used only twice in relief. Now he winds
in the three two situation right back at him, but
through the pitcher's mound, picked up by Cartness over the
first base in time, and Cartness made a great play

(13:44):
as he's done for the ball, picked it out of
the air on the founcing side, went to his knees,
got up and threw his man out and scoring from.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
Third base Richie Ashburn.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Burkey had a chance to flag that one down and
missed it, and Cartness, who was playing shallow joy stop
had to make a great play and keep Bell from
picking up a base hit. It's a running batt in
for Gus Bell, and the New York Mets go out
in front one to nothing, and Frank Thomas steps in.

(14:19):
Thomas batt in two sixty two, right handed batter, has
four home runs. First bits of Frank a knuckleball on
the inside corner, strike one. Thomas, with that familiar stance,

(14:51):
bat hild high and he stands right on top of
the plate and the one strike pitch to him is
hit hard on the ground of Cargnas at short right
at him.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
He's up over high.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Coleman shiftson, makes.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
A play and that retires the side.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
In the inning for the New York Mets.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
The top of the first they pick up one run
onto it, no airs, no one left in the score.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
At the end of the top half of the first,
the Mets one the Cincinnati Red Lakes.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
Coming to Vague.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
You know, many of you baseball fans these days are
fielder smokers, and if you're like me, you just don't
like the harsh taste of an unfiltered cigarette anymore.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
But even among.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Filder cigarettes, there's a big difference in taste. Some taste
so strong you wouldn't know they had a filler at all.
Others taste so light that there's no more fun or
flavor in smoking. Well, now you don't have to settle
for a minor league taste in your cigarette, because Vice
Roy tastes the way you'd like a fielder cigarette to taste.
Vice Roy is not too strong, not too light.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Vice Roy's got the taste.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Fans, find out for yourself. Smoke all seven leading philler
cigarettes and I'll bet you'll find some too strong.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Some too light.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
But Vice Roy's got the taste.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
That's right. That's right.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Fans pick up a carton today starting joining Vice Roy's
league leading taste. Well, as we moved to the bottom
half of the first inning, the Red Legs coming to
bet they will send up Don blasting Game as their
leadoff man against Bob Miller.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Miller has a major league record of nine.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
Wins and nine losses, all compiled while pitching for Saint
well US.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
He's had one start officially actually started two games.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
The first time out he was rained out and so.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
It didn't counter go on the record books. He's a
losing pitcher. Oh In one in this season. He lost
eight to four to Pittsburgh, and that game he worked
five and one third innings, giving up six hits five runs,
all earned. He walked to and struck out one. Bob Miller,
a right hander. Now he's all set to go against
the leadoff man, Don Blassing Game flashing game with a

(17:08):
two thirty three average left handed batter, Miller throws down
too low on his first fitch ball one. Defensively for
the New York Mets. It's at third base, John Zimmer
at George stapp Elusier gone at second base, Charlie Neal
at first base, at Bouchet, Chris Canezero the catcher and
the outfield, Thomas and left ashburnon center and Bell and

(17:31):
Wright and one ball fits too low, ball too, so
Miller now two balls and those strikes to the leadoff
man for the Cincinnati Reds.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Miller was drafted from Saint Louis for the one and
twenty five thousand dollars draft price. He's a restaurant tier
in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
There's his first strike, a fastball in the outside corner.
Two balls and one strike. Shimmer at third base, playing.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
In right on top of the left handed batter looking
for a possible fun pastball.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
It catches on the outside corner once again, strike two,
two balls and two strikes. Al Zemmer moves back with
the bunt situation practically eliminated.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
He's about three steps in back of the.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Line running from second to third before he was about
five steps in. But are back with a curve that
sit inside. Ball three, three balls and two strikes beyond
deck batter Ed Casco. He'll be followed by Beta Benson.

(18:48):
Matt's picked up one run to the top half of
the first when Ashburn single went the third on Sacon
single and scored his Gus Bell round it out to
the shortstop Killer with a three to two bitches lying
in the right center Ashburn breaking in now moves to
his left.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
That makes the catch.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
The ball wall hit but right at Richie Ashburn in
center field for out number one goal that won't bring
up Eddy cast Go.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Cast Go, batting three to zero six has nineteen hits
in sixty.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Two times the bat.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Right handed batter last year hit two seventy one for
the Red Legs. He's a very valuaball player, sort of
a type.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Player you need in the ball crop. He hits and
runs well.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Hits the bat on the ball well.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
First pitch to cast go inside ball one. He wears
glasses as many ballplayers do nowadays in Major League ball
strike called as Bob Miller comes in with a slider
one ball in one strike, Miller sixty one goes into

(20:16):
the wind up and the one one pitched to Casko
hit sharply. Zimmer up with it as he goes to
his left over the first in time Don Zimmer and
the ball was dropped by Buche but the sign given
that he was dropping the ball and dropped the ball
while he was drawing.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Fine played by Don Zimmers.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
He went in the hole and pulled that one down
one handed and made his order. First base made two
men down and now beda Penson steps in Beta Pinson,
who can do just about everything you want done in
the ballfield, the left handed batter.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
He's off to a fine start this year, hitting three
sixty eight.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Last year he hit three p forty three. Fly ball
hit deep the left field, Thomas going back here. The
scoreboard can't get to it. It is off the scoreboard,
pensing that second base holds there and he is up
with the stand up double, the first base hit picked

(21:21):
up by the Cincinnati Reds. Here in the bottom half
of the first is a trail one to nothing, and
now Frank Robinson steps in.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
Robinson, the other half of the Penson Robinson combination that
has done so well here in Cincinnata. Off to the
slow start this year. He's betting wins seventy six.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
But last year he was the most valuable player in
the National League. He had a fine year last year,
hitting three twenty three with thirty seven home runs and
one hundred and twenty four.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Runs batted in.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
Robinson right ended batter stands right on top of the plate,
very similar to the position that Frank Thomas takes. Chokes
up in the bat about two inches. Bob Miller with
his first pitch, curveball.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
It's down, low, ball one.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Robinson with nine hits and fifty one times at bat
this year.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Bob Miller, Checkie.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
Vincent at second, now comes to the plate inside and
high ball two. Two balls in those strikes. Robinson's first
year was nineteen fifty six and he was twenty years old,
and he hit thirty eight home runs in that first year.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
He was named the Rookie of the Year.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Thirty eight home.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Runs tied a freshman mark for home runs by a
first year player.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Hard ground ball to.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Zimmer, he is up, He throws over unheaded the bouchet
in time for out number three and that retires aside
in the inning for the Cincinnati Reds, no runs, one hit.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
Nowhere is one man left in the score at the end.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Of wan inning to play the New York Mets one
Cincinnati Reds.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Nothing.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Well, let's check a look at the scores in the
National League.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Philadelphia at Milwaukee a night game.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
That game has not started.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
San Francisco at Pittsburgh also a night game. Saint Louis
at Houston.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
The night game.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
One game played in the National League, and that was
at Chicago and the Chicago Cups full one out from
the Los Angeles Dodgers, nine to six, and the Cups.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Scored four big runs in.

Speaker 3 (23:55):

Fadres home runs twenty. Snyder had one in the fourth
with no one on. Billy Davis in the fifth with
no one on, Santo in the third with two on,
Banks in the eighth with no one on, and Rogers

(24:22):
the New York Yankees scored four runs in the bottom
half of the ninth, the edge of the Chicago White
Sox seven to six. Sheldon was the winning pitcher for
the Yankees in relief.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Ford was a starter. Fisher was a losing pitcher for
the White Sox.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
Cazarro was a starter.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Landis had a home run in the fifth. Scowen had
won in the eighth Boston seven. Washington won that game over.
Connelly was the winning pitcher. Tennon was the loser, and
Kansas City nine detroited eight and the winning pitcher in
that game four Kansas City Jerry Walker the losing pitcher
Doug Gallagher. Minneapolis had Baltimore the night game in Cleveland

(25:00):
at Los Angeles. Now, the first pitch to Ed Bouget
by Bob Berky has filed away strike one. Blouche, betting
for the first time, is hitting three seventy five left
handed batter Burkie a right nder with a knuckleball that's

(25:26):
way outside. It goes by his catcher John Edwards, ball one,
one ball, one strike. Red scored the only run of
the game in the first day when Ashbourn singled to
right went the third Anelius at golden single and scored
on the grounder.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
To the short stop by Gus Bell.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
One fit to Bouget outside ball two, two balls and
one strike. Bouchet has six hits and sixteen times at
bat and two of those hits home runs, and he's
the only Met to hit a home run with a
man on.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Base this year.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
He's done that twice her ball catching on the inside corner,
strike too, two balls and two strikes. Frank Thomas leads
the Mets in home runs with four and also runs
better in with seven.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Bouchet has two home runs and five runs batted in.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Two two bits to Bouchet hit on the ground to
the second basement, blasting.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Game an easy chance.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
He throws to Coleman gets his men by five steps
for out number one that.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Will bring up Charlie Neal. Tom O'Neil.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
Neil, batting three fourteen, has one home run and four
runs batted.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
In right handed better.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Worrying number four, number he wore for.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
The Los Angeles Dodgers last year. First pitch to Neil
filed on the ground.

Speaker 6 (27:15):
To the left side, strike one.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Now ball's one strike jotted Neil the better. Next pitch
to him a fastball, file away, strike two. Neil makes
his home in Long Viewed, Texas, and that's where he
was born. He's thirty one years of age, five foot ten.

(28:01):
The old two pits to Neil swung on, missed and
dropped by the kitcher, and Edwards fixed it up and
makes it tag as Neil strikes the first base throw
a strike out by Bob Perky on a knuckleball.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
His first and two men are out, and.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
That brings up Don Zimmer Don Bettinge three. He has
three for thirty six. After a great spring. He got
off to a very slow start, but before the game
he said, this is going to be my night.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
First pitch to him, file.

Speaker 6 (28:37):
Away, strike one.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Bob Perky the old teammate of mine, and I was
talking to him before the game and he said his
knuckleball this year hasn't been working at all and he
would not use it so far in the game. He
has used it plenty. He said he was having trouble
with the rotation inside to Don Zimmer one ball, one strike.
He has a rather unique way of developing his knuckleball,

(29:08):
and this is the way he learned to throw it.
He would toss it from about thirty feet halfway from
the pitcher's mound to home plate and get it to
work there, and then he would fully move back to
forty feet and fifty feet and then the sixty feet.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
One to one pitch hit on the ground.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
The short stops right cargners up and over the first
base in the dirt, but Cooleman digs it OUTI good
played by Gordon Goleman at first base in the inning
for the New York met.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
Three up and three down, and.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
The score at the end of one and one happenings
of play New York won Cincinnati Reds.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Nothing.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Ask any manager in the league, and he's sure to agree.
The true test of a good hitter isn't his batting
average against second string pitching, No, sir, It's how well
he does against the east pitches around the league and
top flight competition is the true tests of a cigarette.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
Two.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
That's why I'd say spoke all.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Seven leading fielder cigarettes. You'll find some taste too strong.
They might as well not have a feather at all.
And now there's taste too light. They take all the
men's size flavor out of smoking. But I'll bet dollars
to donuts your taste will tell you. Weice boy bat's
one thousand against all comers, because Vice Roy has got

(30:24):
that taste.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
What two free four cold? If your filter cigarette is
tasting too strong, don't you sometimes wonder if your brand
is wrong? Well, wece Roy tastes the way is like
a filter cigarette to taste not too.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Strong, not too light.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Vice Roy's got it well the taste.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
That's right, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
And now why Bob?

Speaker 3 (30:48):
While Bob Miller warms up in them on we bause
four station identifications.

Speaker 7 (30:54):
If you're tuned a WGY ten on your radio dial,
the General Electric Station's gonna to.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Do all set to go on the bottom half of
the second. This is Ralph Kinner along with Lindsay Nelson
and Bob Murphy on the play by play from Crosley
Field in Cincinnata. The New York Mets out in the
front one and nothing as the Red Legs come to
bat and they are setting up for their first man.

(31:20):
Here in the second inning, Gordon Coleman, their first baseman.
Coleman a left handed batter, and Bob Miller the pitcher,
throwing just missing outside ball one.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Miller gave up one.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Hit in the first inning that he worked. I was
a two base hit to Vaden Fittson Coleman batting two
seventy eight fastball outside ball two. Coleman had a good
year last year. He had a two to eighty seven
average for the season, with twenty six home runs and
eighty seven runs batted in. He's a big fellow, and

(31:58):
it's all ways good.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Bar to left center right, Hi, pop up to left field.
Thomas coming in. We'll have to wait now. I drifts
back and he makes the kitch go.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Coleman goes down for out number one, and here comes
Wally Post one to nothing, New York. As both steps
in the back of his box. He's hitting three to eleven.
Last night he had a long home run to center field,
his fifth.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Of the year. I also had two doubles for a
big night.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
First pitch to the right handed batter, checking the swing,
it's going out of the right field for a base.
H Post gets the first basin holes.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
He tried to hold up still got enough of the
ball to hit a lazy line drive do the hole
in the right field for a base hit.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
So it did.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Number two off Bob Miller and John Edwards comes in.
Edwards batting two eleven, has eight hits.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
And thirty eight times at bat. A left handed batter.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
Now Miller to Edwards with his first pitch to sit
out in front of the home plate area. Miller up
with it quickly throws over to Bouchet and on the
play moving down to second base Wally.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Pork That puts a run our second base.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
As Edwards goes down for out number two and it
brings up the shortstop Leo Gardiners. The Cardinals hit him
one ninety four with six hits and thirty one times
a bat.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Had a good year last year for Cincinnata. He had
three zero eight. Right handed batter who plays at short stop.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
One nothing, New York.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Bottom of the second Emmy.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Bob Miller to the right handed batter with a curveball
on the outside corner, call strike one. Next pitch is
inside ball one one ball on one strike. Cardon has

(34:44):
started playing baseball in nineteen fifty six with Tucson, and
that year he had twenty three home runs.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
Won. One pitch, a little line drive in the center field,
it will be a base hit. Wally Folks coming in
from the.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Second base, says Row the third and heels far and
I don't tip the game one to one.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Bound pitcher.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
While the two vedes this, I need nothing to brag
about by the Cincinnati Reds. Polls tried to check his
squigg and got one to right field and right there
Cardness was halfway.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Full and just hit the soft liner in the center field.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
Just tie up the ball game? How don't bring up
Bob Perky the pitcher one one game with the pitcher
a right.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Handed batter and the batter's box with two men out.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
First pitch to Berkie filed out on the jert strike
one no balls, one strike Cardinals at first base with

(36:04):
two men out. Bob Miller, with his next pitch at
current ball, swung on a minus strike too. Canizero, the
catcher dropped the ball, but kept it right out in
front of him. Coaching at third base Reggie o'taro, former

(36:26):
ballplayer and at first base, Tex Sisler, who you'll probably
remember for a home run in nineteen fifty against Don
Newcomb that put the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series.
Next pitch to Bob Perky fouled away and they kind of.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Hold it on too. That home run came an extra
innings and it gave the.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
Wiz Kids a shot at the New York Yankees, which
they couldn't handle. Two strike fits were on a miss
strike three, so Bob Miller retires the side.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
That's his first.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Strikeout and in the inning for the Cincinnati Rets, one
run on two hits.

Speaker 3 (37:17):
Nowhere is one man.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
Left in the score. At the end of two innings
of play, all tied up. New York won Cincinnati one.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
Well.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
In checking our schedule, New York Mets have a day
off tomorrow, then they will open up in a series
against the Philadelphia Phillies in the pull Of Grounds on
Friday afternoon, game time at two o'von. On Saturday, again
against the Phillies, Ladies day and all ladies a minute

Speaker 3 (37:45):
Of fifty cents. On Sunday, a doubleheader against the Phillies.
Monday a day off, and then the first night game
of the season against the National League champions of Cincinnati Reds.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
There are three convenient.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Ticket locations for you to purchase your tickets for all
these games at the Polar Grounds, one at the Grand
Central Station located on the Vanderbilt side, another in the
Long Island Waiting room of the Pennsylvania Station, and the

(38:21):

we moved to the top of the third, it's my

(38:43):
pleasure to bring in Lindsey Nelson.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
Thanks very much.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
We have count of Chris Cantizero will.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
Lead off now for the New York mess He's the
right hand better, a young catcher who's been getting a
lot of work lately. Bob Rickey, it's under the wind
up and here's the pitch curve. Boll swung on and
foul down to Salihima's coaching at thirty fields the ball
and fires it back on to Robert Perky, wearing the
number thirty seven, as is his custom or the Cincinnati Reds.

(39:10):
Perky started one World Series game against the New York
Yankees last year and would have started the sixth game
if there had been a sixth game, but as you'll recall,
the Yankees won it in five inning. It up right
here at Crosley Field. Here's the pitch swung on and
foul up, this time into the stands, back of free space.
It's out of play, so it's a two strike count
now to Chris Counta Zaro. Through two innings, the New

(39:34):
York Mets have one run on two hits and no eras,
and the Cincinnati Reds have one run on three hits
and no eras. Conti zero has been up sixteen times
this season and has one hit. He is driven in
one run. He did that with a sacrifice fly. That
pitch missus high. It's one and two now to Chris Countizarro.

(39:59):
Count of Zaro was so elected by the New York
Mets off the roster of the Saint Lewis Cardinals in
the expansion Draft. He is considered to be.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
An excellent receiver with a fine arm.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
And if he can manage to hit the National League pitching,
we'll get a great deal of work with the New
York Mets. There is a pitch going high for ball.
It's two two now to Chris Canta zero. Cookie Labachetta
is coaching at first as usual, and Salih must around
a third for the Mets. Bob Perky is getting the

(40:33):
sign from Johnny Edwards. Now the pitch to count of
Zaro Swaying Navessis struck him out, went for an outside pitch,
and that is strike out number two by Bob Perky
as he gets Chris Canta zero, and that will bring
up pitcher Bob Miller for the New York Mets. Twenty
three year old Bob Miller, wearing number twenty four, coming out,

(40:58):
takes the bat from Richie ash Bern, who was holding
up there in the ondeck circle. Han Miller takes a
couple of cuts on the way up to the plate.
Hand steps in. He's right hand, better right hand or
all away. With a very warm sunny day in Cincinnati,
Pricky now dips into the wind up and here's the pitch.

(41:19):
It's in there for Carl Strike one. To Bob Miller,
riding out to the ballpark from the hotel in downtown
Cincinnati to night, the player's bus passed a temperature sign
that was reading eighty eight degrees and that we shortly
after five pm. There's a pitch outside. It's one and
one now to Bob Miller. Defensively around the infield. The

(41:48):
Cincinnati Reds have Gordon Coleman at first base, Don blasting
Game at second, Leo Cartons at short.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
And Eddie Caskiw at third.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
He takes a bluffs to bunt, then tries to bunt
the ball and takes the strike. It's one and two.
Looks as they were going to bluft the bun and
then try to bun it. It's one and two now
to Bob Miller. Takes a little walk around outside the
batter's box and comes back in one ball and two strikes.

(42:22):
Perky started his motion and stops and now looks him again.
Wasn't the pitch he wanted? Apparently, so Miller steps out
of the batter's box and al Foreman the umpire behind
the plate, call's time. Now we're all set once again.
Here's the pitch swung out in a little number going
back to the mound. Perky's up put, it plays over
to Gordy Coleman in time and he's out. So Miller

(42:42):
has grounded out from Perky to Coleman.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
Two away, and then will bring up Richie Ashburn leadoff
man and manage.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
Acac singles batting order for the Mets. Ashman opened the
ball game with a single and scored the only run
scored to the.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
Mets thus far.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
That was in the top half of the first inning.
Two men out and nobody on or of the New
York Mets, who came into Knights ball game with the
record of one victory and ten losses. As Ralph kind
of told you, the Cincinnati Reds came in with a
record of six victories and eight losses. Ashburn has asked
on Pirel Foreman to look at the baseball. He does
and fires it right back out to Bob Perky in

(43:20):
the outfield or the Cincinnati Reds while he posted and left.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
They Defendson and center and Frank Robinson and right, and.

Speaker 3 (43:28):
They play Ashburn shaded around toward left field, despite the
fact that he is a left hand better that's the
way he has generally played in the National League, where
he has performed for many years. As to Carl Streich,
nothing in one now to Richie Ashburn, Eddie Caskow at

(43:51):
third even with the grass against the speed of Ashburn,
Perky Fitch inside moving him back, and it's one of
one now. Bob Perkey was traded to the Cincinnati Rids

(44:14):
from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for pitcher Don Gross.
Here's a drive going out in the center field. It's
going to dip in there from bayside. Defensing comes over
one opposite, pars it back and Richie Ashbourn is on
with the second hit of the night, a single to
right center field. That is base hit number three for

(44:38):
the Mets. On Bob Perkey with two men out, Ilios
Chakaron is coming up. He singled in the first thing
the left and was out trying to go to second.
Ashman went to third and the ball went over there
as Chacone took the turn and dug for a second
but was out. That play went closed to Cascode bassing

(44:59):
game two men out, runner at first. Scory tied one on.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
Top half of the third inning at Krisley Feel in Cincinnati.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
That pictures in there for Carl's strike to Iliosha Cohen. He,
of course, was with the Cincinnati Reds last year, a
member of that tennant winning aggregation, and was an expansion
draft choice of the New York Mets. Off the roster
of the Cincinnati Reds, Turkey is looking in to get

(45:33):
to sign now at Ashburn takes his lead at first base,
Turkey is in the stretch position.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
Throwed at first not in time.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
Ashburn hustling back over there. Gordon Coleman the first basement,
holding defensively against the runner. Coleman and alumnus of Duke University,
native of Washington, d c here the ground of barbo
off the end of the battle of eating Yoshi.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Cones went outside pitch and thought it right off the.

Speaker 3 (46:03):
End of the bet. Were under the few boxes along
the first place line, so it's too strikeout out of
your con Gus Bell has moved into the ondeck circle
now for the New York Mets.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
The Mets one on the Cincinnati.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
Reds, one.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
That pitches outside one and two. Last year, Bob.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
Prickey was in thirty six games with the Cincinnati Reds,
had a record of sixteen victories and twelve lostits In
two hundred and forty six innings. Last year, he walked
only fifty one and he struck out one hundred and sixteen.
Ashburn leaves it first. He's pricky with the one two

(47:02):
pitches running and.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
The pitch is low.

Speaker 3 (47:03):
The throw goes to the second base. Acehman slighting it
out at second. The ball rolled away.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
From second basement blasting games, and he is safe there.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
The ball rolled away from lasting game as on the side.
Ashman went in and put it away, and so he
is safe at second base. The Empire at second, Bill
Jaikowski had given the outsign. The official scorer in farmed
it said it Wilde's go to the stolen base.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
That's a little unusual right there.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Lind need to have the Empire indicate the outsign and
then when the ball got away to get him in
a stolen base.

Speaker 3 (47:42):
Yes, it is unusual because the sign was given by
Jakowski very clearly out and then the ball rolled away
and with the official score is called it the stolen base.
That is the first stolen base or the New York
Mets this season. It puts Ritchie Ashman in second. The
pitch to batter ely O Shakhan was low. The counter
him is two and two. Ashburn was speeded in scoring

(48:05):
position at second he leads off the bag as Bob
Perkey looks in to get the signs as it now
is into the stretch and the pitches on the way
swinging to make these struck him mouse that has struck
out number three for perteame as the Mets go down
on the top half of the third with no runs
on one yet no errors in one left and at

(48:25):
the end of two and one happening the player.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
The score is the New York Match one and the
Cincinnati Reds one.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
But you know, there are many things we call perennials,
some flowers, books or songs that are old favorites, in fact,
anything that we enjoy year after year In New York.
I say that term applies to Ryane Goals. Year after year,
people continue to enjoy the frisk write taste that his
Rhine goals alone, and year after year after year, Ryan

(48:54):
Goal is the largest selling beer in New York. You
don't have to look very far to find the secret
of Brian Gold's popularity. The answer is writing the name
Ryan Go Extra dry. Yes, the two biggest words in
beer extra dry tell you why Ryan Goll has a
taste no other beer can match. Because it's dry. Ryan
Gold is more naturally refreshing. It has more of that crisp,

(49:18):
clean flavor you want. And a beer, what a wonderful
difference dry makes. Why not enjoy a glass of Brian
Gold along with the game and taste the difference for yourself.

(49:48):
Going on to the bottom half of the third inning,
and Cincinnati Reds will send up Don Glassing game, Eddie
Casco and Beta Penson Glassing game. Why not the center
in the phrase and he hit the ball well that
Richie Ashbury moved over a few steps to hallowdown.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
Bob Miller, the pitcher for the New York Mets, wines
and fires and is in.

Speaker 3 (50:10):
There from carlstrike one. Young Bob Miller with a record
of no victor's in one loss. That's for this season
four of the New York Mets. He was signed as
a bonus baby by the Cardinals and his natives Saint
Louis when he was eighteen years of age. Millar's pitch

(50:31):
goes outside for a ball, and Miller was one of
the four bonus choices by the New York Mets at
the expansion Draft of the National League after the nineteen
sixty one World Series.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
He was a bonus choice at one hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars, about five times.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
The bonus he received when he was signed to the Cardinals.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
He is hit by a pitch. Boul game had started.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
As though to drag a pun and as he's turned,
was hit.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
By a pitch ball and now a big argument from
Casey's single to umbar al Foreman.

Speaker 3 (51:11):
Then he's hung at the ball and our find cana
zero the catcher in the middle of the pitcher polls
that king about this situation because he had started to
though to drag the punt Agey's thing a lot in front.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
Of the drug out a few steps.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
Now has retreated as all Foreman the umpire beyond the
play shakes. He's head no, no, nos. He has hit
by the pitch ball and is on it first place.
The lasting game had started to move as though to
drag the punt and.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
Was hit by the inside pitch and is on it
first now.

Speaker 3 (51:44):
With nobody out and Eddie Kasko, who is an excellent
hit and run man by the way, he can manipulate
that fat.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Is at the plate, right hand bat, he's running.

Speaker 3 (51:52):
Hit and runners on and its piled up. It is
drag run to Casco was one of the principal reasons
while the Cincinnati Reds were able to hang in their
last season and advance onto the National League Championship and

(52:13):
into the World Series. A steady performer, he is compared
by many baseball observers to Dick Groats of the Pittsburgh
Parts in the manner in which he can manipulate the
bat at the plate, throw over the first and blasting game,
diving back in both Blason games. And Casco saw service

(52:35):
with the Saint Louis Cardinals in the National League. Bob
Miller's into the stretch. Here's the pitch ground balls Neil
going through to the cunner field, advising games on his
way to third. As the ball is relaid back in,
they are runners at first and third. Eddie Casco hitting
it up the middle. Charlie Neils came to his rights

(52:57):
to try to get to it, couldn't play it and
went on through to centerfield where Richie Ashburn.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
We laid the ball back in. So now the Cincinnati
read that runners.

Speaker 3 (53:07):
At first and third and Beda Penson batting number three
in the betting order is up. Benson doubled to the
base of the scoreboard and left field. In the first inning,
the score is tied one to run. There is nobody
out swinging the pile ball off the end of the bat.

(53:29):
It's strike one now to Beta Penson. The lasting game
is at third and Casco is at first or the
Cincinnati red This is the final game of the two
game series between the Mets and the Cincinnati Reds. Here
at Crosley Field. All right, Miller is set to work

(53:50):
once again to Vida Penson, and as the time going
out the right field for by ten, last again comes
down to score. Cats goes On, goes the third, Guts
fellap with the ball prases in the second base run
the first in third cord two to one. Cuncinati got
in front, Lata Fencent stringing out a line shot in
the right field that scored lasting game easily from third

(54:15):
and San Caasco from first to third, Bensing himself holding
it first. As the relay from Guts, Beell came into
Charlie Neil at second lean up out of Frank Robinson
coming up action now in the bullpenal the New York Mets.

(54:38):
Bob Morehead, a right hander up and throwing. Bob Moorehead
throwing Chris Count of zero has gone out to the mountain.
How to have a word with young Bob Miller. As
the Cincinnati Reds have taken the lead for the first
time tonight in this ball game. We're in the bottom
half the third inning. The Reds lead two to one.

(55:00):
Frank Robinson spent up one time. He grinded out third
to first. He had the batting average of one hundred
and seventy six pitchers down low foot ball. Frank Robinson
had a great spring in exhibition competition. He wore the
baseball out, but has had a little trouble getting started.
He was the most valuable player in the National League

(55:22):
last year. One of baseball's premier performers, Frank Robinson sir
ball misses outside two and zero out of Robinson, He's
spent up fifty two times and as nine hits, he
has batted in six runs. Casco is the base runner

(55:44):
at third, Invader Benson with Steve Despair.

Speaker 1 (55:47):
Is on it first.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
Nobody out for the Reds. As a change it goes high.
Robinson laid off of it. And it goes ball three,
bring on and out of Frank Robinson. With Gordy Coleman
swinging the mats in the on deck circle, time has
been called now by Veda Pinson at first base. He

(56:14):
is over checking with coach Dick Sisler. Reggie o'tero is
the coach at third. The Reds, of course, managed by
Fred Hutchinson, and the pitching coach is Jim Turner. Brian
pitched to Robinson right down the pike for a callstrike

(56:35):
when he was taking all the way at three and one.
Outfield shaded slightly towards the left. On Frank Robinson with
a major league career. This fellow has had culminated by
his performance last season when he was selected as the
most Valuable Player in the National League. Clinton's running as

(56:57):
a swing in the ground ball ball, it's out of
player and that will bring Benson back. Count is three
and two now to Robinson. They had Benson going from
first on three and one. There is nobody out. Bob

(57:25):
Miller looking in again to get the sign. Twenty six
year old Frank Robinson, a native of Beaumont, Texas, steps
out of the batter's back and now, of course, Contazero
goes out to the round to check with Miller. Last year,
Frank Robinson had a batting average of three hundred and

(57:46):
twenty three for the Reds, and he had thirty seven
home runs. He's been pretty consistently high up in the
home run derby every year since he came to the
major League. Came up in nineteen fifty six with Cincinnati
and hit thirty eight home runs that first year. He
is hit thirty eight, twenty nine, thirty one, thirty six,

(58:07):
thirty one, thirty seven.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
Penson's running. That's a drive fouled on the.

Speaker 3 (58:13):
Left field line, going.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
Up now on the rooftop of the upper deck, down.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
In the left field corner. That we'll bring Penson back.
He was running three and two. Nobody else. Casco is
the base runner at third. Frank Robinson has to beeed himself.
He's told twenty two bases last year. Bob Morehead continues

(58:39):
to throw in the vote infore the New York Mets.
Miller is into the stretch.

Speaker 1 (58:48):
Henson's going pitches outside. He walked him.

Speaker 3 (58:50):
The bases are loaded. So with Gordon Coleman coming up
and the bases loaded in order to allow our stations
to themselves. We paused now for a station identification. This

(59:12):
is WGG Wyers connected day that says Lindsay Nelson, was
Bob Murphy and Ralph Kenner at carsally feeling Cincinnati left
hand bet at Gordon Coleman. He's at the plate, he's
been up one time and he flied the left. The
bases are loaded for the Cincinnati Reds and there's nobody out.
Miller winds and fires and has a swing in the ground.

(59:32):
Ball foul coming back, chomped off right down into the grate,
spinning back behind the plate for a strike one to
Gordon Coleman. A fellow with a peculiar batting stand in
that he bails out with that front foot, but hangs
in there enough to be able to hit the ball
to all fields. Swings and missus. It's strike too. Coleman

(01:00:07):
stepped in last year and took over the first base
position for the Cincinnati Reds, and it was his ability
to do that that allowed.

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
Manager Hutchinson to leave Fink Robinson.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
In the outfield all season long, something that he wanted
to do. Robinson had been used at first base and
in the outfield sort of interchangeably before two strike pitch
at the ground ball to second base. Charlie Neel up
with it as he played second. He's out there, related first,
he's out there double play in a run is scored,
double play and Casco scored from third, moving on to third.

(01:00:40):
Veda pension as the double play when Charlie Neil the
helio should con to ed Bouchet. That will bring up
Walie Posts. So ground ball to Charlie Neil made the
toss of a the Ileoshakan the shortstop for the poison

(01:01:02):
suckond the relay on the first end. Time to get Coleman,
but kats Go scored some third and Benson moved from
second two third, So now two men out, runners third
and Wally Post right hand betters that's the plate. He
had a single arrive in the second inning. There's a
drive going to right field. It's in there for a
Bay said, sending his card. Guts pulled it down on

(01:01:22):
a high hop, relays it in and it's another single
and a run. Better end, this time for a Wally Post.
And the Cincinnati Reds lead by a score of four
to one. You're in the bottom half. A third inning.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
Catcher Johnny Edwards is coming up, and manager Casey Single
is going to the mound.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
Manager Casey Single going slowly out to the mound now
with the number thirty seven on his back, and the
signal goes down to the bullpen where a pitching coach,
Read Roughing is standing beside Bob Morihead, who still is
warming up. And Morihead is going to be coming in.
Roughing reaches of a it's the jacket is talking now
to Morehead. Manager Casey Singles still talking to young Bob

(01:02:09):
Miller out there on the mound. This inning, the Cincinnati
Reds have scored three runs on three hits. The lasting
game is hit by pitch ball and Frank Robinson walked
into the bargain. So Morihead now is on his way

(01:02:37):
to the mound, and Bob Miller judges slowly off the
mound and heads for the locker room.

Speaker 4 (01:02:56):
Number twenty two. Mom fead, I'll think four.

Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
So Miller goes out after having pitched two and two thirty.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
Innings in which he gave up four runs on six hits.
He struck out one and walk one, and Morihead is
firing down the warm uptases. This is the fifth appearance
of the season for Bob Morihead, he has no one
and lost record. The opener against the Cards on April eleventh,

(01:03:37):
he pitched three innings in which he gave up six hits,
allowed five runs only two of them, earned, walk one,
and struck out one. Then on April fifteenth, against the
Pittsburgh Pirates, he pitched four innings in which he gave
up two hits, no runs, walked none, and struck out one.

(01:03:58):
Pittsburgh won the ballgame. I scored seventy two, but that
was an impressive performance by young Bob moore Head. Then
on April nineteenth against the Saint Louis Cardinals or he'd
pitched two innings in which he gave up three runs
on three it's, walked not and struck out one. Then
against the Pittsburgh Pirates on April twenty first, he pitched
one inning in relief, gave up no runs on no hits,

(01:04:19):
walk not, and struck out one. So thus far this
season he has walked one and struck out four in
that department. And here is Johnny Edwards at the plate.
He grounded out pitch it at first in the second inning.
He was the hitting star of the Cincinnati Ridge in
the World Series last year. Left hand battered swings and

(01:04:39):
files it off to strike one. Two men out, and
while he posted is the base runner at first, twenty
three year old Johnny Edwards. He was brought up last
year by the Cincinnati Ridge a little sooner than they
had expected did to bring him up, but they ran

(01:05:01):
into a catching problem and had to have help behind
the plate, and he was a big help to them.
Now that fit's to Edwards and there's a drive going
in the right field forbade it Guttbell comes over one,
I said, while he posted Johnny's way to third. The
throw is coming in, got off by Shako and has
post pulls up safely a third and Johnny Edwards is
on the line shot in the right field. So now

(01:05:27):
the Cincinnati Reds have runners at first and third, still
two men out, and Leo Cardoness is at the plate.
He singles the center to driving a run. In the
second inning, the Cincinnati Reds are leading the New York
Mets by a score of four to one. Here in
the bottom half of the third inning, it Crosley feel
in Cincinnati. Bob Morehead is into the stretch. Now run

(01:06:00):
I was leading at first and third based the Cartiness
went out and missed for strike one. Leo Cartiness, he's
twenty three years old, went to spring training in nineteen

(01:06:24):
sixty with the Reds and then played at Jersey City,
where he betted two hundred and eighty eight and the
Reds we call him in late July, had pitches in
there for Carls strike to Cardinals to strike two count.
Last year, Cardiness got into seventy four games with the
Cincinnati Reds, was up one hundred and ninety eight times

(01:06:46):
and had a batting average of three hundred and eight,
including five home runs, and manager Fred Hutchinson considers him
an excellent ballplayer and did not hesitate to stick him
into the lineup and move Casco on over to third base.

Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
Swinging to power ball back on of the screen.

Speaker 3 (01:07:04):
When Gene Freeze broke his ankle in spring training, that
left the Cincinnati Redch with a problem at third base.
They tried Cliff Cook there, and they tried Tom Harper
there and now seem to have settled on moving Eddie
Casco to third. He had previously played third for the
Saint Louis Cardinals and for the Cincinnati Reds. And they
have struck Gali o' cardiness in a shortstop, counting him right. Now,

(01:07:29):
I strike to runners at first and third, two men out,
which is lowing away. It's ball one, one and two.
Now Action kenueing in the bullpen for the New York Mets. Say,

(01:07:53):
Sherman Jones is now up and throwing. Sherman Jones throwing
in the bullpen for the Mets. Here's the one two pitch,
swinging a fireball coming back. It's out to play in

(01:08:15):
the stands. It's caught by a spectator. Manager Hutchison had
John Edwards running on the pitch at first base because
the runners at first and thirty two men out. Cincinnati
Reds four and the New York Mets one.

Speaker 1 (01:08:30):
Here on the bottom half the third inning, again the
one two pitch. This is outside.

Speaker 3 (01:08:47):
It's fall two two and two foreheads getting the sign
as runners take their leaves at first and third. Now

(01:09:13):
the stretch and the pitch on the way. Bangan has
a flyball a senter. Richie Ashburn is moving back to
step for two. He's underneath and Ashburn takes it for
the out that retires the side. So Cartiness is flight
the center and in the bottom half the third inning,
the Cincinnati Reds got three runs on four hits, no errors,

(01:09:34):
and two left. At the end of three full innings
of play at Crosley Field in Cincinnati, the score is
Cincinnati Reds four and the New York Mets won.

Speaker 1 (01:09:51):
All right, Now, let's take a look.

Speaker 3 (01:09:52):
At the scoreboard in the National League. Philadelphia Philly is
a meeting the Milwaukee Braves in Milwaukee tonight and no
score yet on that one. And in Pittsburgh, the San
Francisco Giants have picked up one run in the top
half of the first inning the Pittsburgh Pirates coming to

Yankees defeated the Chicago White Sucks seven to six. Sheldon
beat Fisher, and the Boston Red Sox beat Washington seven
to one. Is kindly beat Hannon. Right here. Gus Bell
is at the plate, tries to drag a button, takes

(01:11:17):
strike one. Gus Bell grounded out short the person the
first inning, but drove in a run, the only run
that the New York Mets have up to this point.
Bell has been up thirty four times. He has six basits.
He's betting average one hundred and seventy six, no home
runs and three runs batted. In Young Bob Erkey is

(01:11:40):
set to work and has a flyball going deep the
center that is driving Vada Penson back. He is against
the wall and he takes it for the out. Dada
Penson right back there at the three ninety times all
down the lawn drive off the battle of Gus Bell
for out number one night will bring up Frank Thomas.

(01:12:02):
He has been up one time and he grounded out
short the first We were in the top half of
the fourth inning here at cosley Field and Cincinnati. Berkey
set to work. Here's a pitch swung on and tipped

(01:12:23):
off into the big glove of Johnny Edwards. Strike one
to Frank Thomas. New York Mets will leave Cincinnati by
charter playing immediately after this game tonight coming back to
New York. Tomorrow is an off day for the Mets,
and then they opened at the Polo Grounds on Friday
against the Philadelphia Phillies with an afternoon single in the
Ladies' Day single and Saturday afternoon and then a big

(01:12:44):
doubleheader on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
Berkey is set to work to Frank Thomas. He watches
outside the ball one.

Speaker 3 (01:12:54):
Is one and one.

Speaker 1 (01:12:57):
Cincinnati Reds will return the favor by coming to New
York next week.

Speaker 3 (01:13:01):
On Tuesday night, the first night game of the season
for the Mets at the Polo Grounds is they take
on the Cincinnati Reds, the defending National League champs. Then
the Reds will be in for a Wednesday afternoon game.
The drive going on out in the left field for
a basis past Eddy Casko at third while he post
comes up with it, relays it back and Frank Thomas

(01:13:24):
is on at first base. Eddie Casko tried to get
a glove on it at third as it went past him.
That is bas at number four for the New York Mets.
Off Bob Pricky with one.

Speaker 1 (01:13:39):
Man out, First baseman Ed Bouchet is coming up.

Speaker 3 (01:13:41):
He has been up one time and he grounded out.
Second to first pitch comes inside the Bouchet current batting

(01:14:04):
average three hundred and fifty three for Ed Bouchet. He's
been up seventeen times and has six base hits. Here's

(01:14:30):
a flyball going to left field while he post is
coming in. Kidness is going out and Kitteness calls and
makes the catch.

Speaker 1 (01:14:35):
Thomas almost all the way down to the second base,
hustles back to the back at first and Ed Bouchet.

Speaker 3 (01:14:42):
Homps out to Kurtness. He went out in the short
left field to make the catch.

Speaker 1 (01:14:46):
Two away, Thomas holding it first.

Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
And Charlie Neil coming up. He's been up one time
and he's struck out. Bob Perky has struck out three
and walk one. That's far We're on the top half
of the fourth innings. Better than George White. The New
York Mets is here in Cincinnati four this two game series.
He is announced to the baseball writers following the Mets
that a deal has been consummated and the personnel involved

(01:15:09):
will be announced tomorrow, which is in there for a
call strike to Charlie Neil, So there is much speculation
among the baseball writers following the Mets as to what
personnel may be involved, and the personnel changes. One strike

(01:15:36):
counts to Neil, right hand battered, which is low and away.
It's ball one one in one throw the first Thomas
is back safely. Neil is hitting three hundred and six
right now, but up thirty six times and as eleven
base hits. Cincinnati reads four and the New York Mets one.

(01:16:09):
In the top half of the fourth inning at Crosley
feel in Cincinnati years, A pitch swung out in the
midst strike two, it's one and two. Manager Fred Hutchinson,

(01:16:30):
who was himself a pitcher during his major league career,
says that Perky's greatest asset is the fact that he
knows how to pitch. He's been around long enough to
be able to mix up that knuckleball that he usually
so effectively with the slider. And there's a swing and
a fileball going out of play one and two. Bob

(01:16:58):
Perky pitched in both All Our Games last summer for
the National Leaguers. Set to work now with a one
two count and Neal pitches him tight, he rocks back
and takes it. It's two and two. Bob Brickey for
the National League All Stars last summer, pitched two hit

(01:17:20):
list and run less innings in the first All Star
Game held at San Francisco, and he was the starter
from the National League and the second All Star Game
played at Boston. That was the one that ended in
a one to one tie at the nine innings when
it rained so hard that they could not continue two
into the count and Eel Frank Thomas leads it first

(01:17:42):
pitch swung Island has a flyball down the line and right,
curving over into the stands and out of play. Count
holds it two and two to Charlie Neil. I'll bet
plenty of you fans are taking this opportunity to check

(01:18:04):
your supply of cool, refreshing ryango extra dry. Yes, sir,
Ryan gold Is beers beer should taste and dry. It
tells you why they'll keep plenty of cold ryanol on
hand for every Mets game. Two and two of the count.
Now at Charlie Neil, he takes strike three, called on
the pike, He throws a bat down in disgust and

(01:18:24):
walks away as he has called out on strike strike
out number four or Bob Brickey, as the Mets from
the top out of the fort hit no runs on
one hit, no errors, and one left and at the
end of three and one happenings to play at Drisley
Field and Cincinnati. The story is Cincinnati read four and
the New York Mets won. Coming up now a bit

(01:18:45):
of big time Dixie Land Jazz. Fine beer is fine
gold the dry beer. He crying when you find it's.

Speaker 2 (01:19:00):
Not Betterer, it's not sweet, It's a dry flavor treatment.

Speaker 5 (01:19:04):
To try extra dry gonna be.

Speaker 3 (01:19:21):
That's the song that tells you why Ryan Goll is
New York's largest selling deer because it's dry deer.

Speaker 1 (01:19:27):
Extra dry.

Speaker 3 (01:19:28):
Those two little words tell you that Ryan Goll is
broad the long, slow, costly away for extra refreshment. So
try a glass along with the game and discover the
difference dry makes. We're going out to the bottom half

(01:19:50):
of the fourth inning and the Cincinnati Reds will send
up Bob Perky don blasting game and Eddie Cashco. Perky
has spent up one time and he struck out Bob
Moorehead is the picture for the New York Mets in
relief of Bob Miller, who started and is the picture
of record at this point. Perky is a right hand batter,
right hand or all away. Oh, he has the sign

(01:20:15):
dips into the wind up man. Here's the pitch in
there for Carl strike one. Al Foreman is the umpire
beyond the plate. Tom Garman is at first, Bill Jakowski
is at second, and Ed Sudall is around at third.

(01:20:38):
Overhead again, it's set the pitch. Her ball is a
little high and it's one one. Now Perky that since
Chris count zero out to the mound to check. With
Bob Moore ahead. Perky has abouting average of two hundred
and fifty, or rather of two hundred and twenty two
right now. He brought it two fifty batting average into
the game, but it's from when he failed to hit

(01:21:01):
that first time up. Batting averages are flashed on the
scoreboard here at Cosby Field, but they are the batting
averages with which the player started the game and not
the current batting average up to this.

Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
Time at bat.

Speaker 3 (01:21:21):
Here's a swing in a file ball going out of play,
curving into the stand behind first base. It's one and
two out of Bob Perkey. Bob moorehead goes to the
Rossen bag for a moment. He has account of one

(01:21:46):
and two to Perky. With Don blasting game now on
back for the Cincinnati Reds bitches outside. Perky almost went
for it, but checked it in time. It's two to two.

(01:22:11):
Here's a two to two pitch swung. Island has a
fly ball going out into center field. Richie Ashburn comes
in and has it's lined up. He's underneath waiting and
he has it for the out. So Perky has flied
out to Ashbourn and center. There's one way, and John
blasting Game is coming up flied to center and he
was hit by pitch Bawl in the third inning, so
officially he is nothing for one. To this point, the

(01:22:41):
Cincinnati Rids have four runs on seven hits and no eras.
The New York Mets have one run on four hits
and no eras. We have had no home runs in
the ball game tonight. In case you joined us along
the way, she blasting Game swung out and fouled into
the stems and out of play. Rather than Warren Giles
of the National League on hand here this evening, as

(01:23:04):
he frequently is, of course, at Crossley Field. National League
headquarters are located here in Cincinnati. Strike one count to
Don blassing Game at the plate.

Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
Pitches low prot ball.

Speaker 3 (01:23:25):
It's one and one. Don blassing Game is married to
Walk of Cooper's daughter who was Miss Missouri one time.
He is a one one pitch swinging on a flat

(01:23:46):
ball in the center field. Richie Ashburn drifting over. He
is underneath, he's waiting and he has it to the out.

Speaker 1 (01:23:52):
So blassing Game has fled up to.

Speaker 3 (01:23:54):
Ashbourn and center. Ashburn has put out in the ball
game thus far, tour right nobody on an Eddie Casko
coming up. Casco grounded out third to first and single
and later scored in the third inning. Casco is the

(01:24:24):
right hand batter. Forehead is ready now into the wind
up in the pitch in there for a.

Speaker 1 (01:24:36):
Carl strike got away from Canta zero and coming.

Speaker 3 (01:24:38):
Back a few steps. He coming back to retrieve it.
Lada Penson is moving into the ondeck circle now or
the Cincinnati reads, but there are two.

Speaker 1 (01:24:59):
Men out more it does to strike one count to Casco.

Speaker 3 (01:25:07):
Swinging a five ball coming back out of play. Strike
two counts out of Castco. A few ball has gone

(01:25:30):
out to Bob more Head rubs it up now and
he's looking in to get the sign from Chris cannazerro
at it. Here's a pitch swing in the ground, ball
foul off the bat of Casco. It's out of play,
ran along the tarp, rolled up against the stance and
rolled on into the stands where it's a tree by

(01:25:50):
a spectator. Rad of Penson there in the ondeck circle
is excited about getting to the Polo grounds in New
York next week. Tenson has never played in the Polo Grounds,
and those of you in New York baseball fans who
have not seen Pension have a treat coming. Also one

(01:26:11):
of baseball's most exciting baseball players. He's a complete ball player.
He can do it all. He can do everything. There
swinging in a flyball going to the left field, Frank
Thomas is coming in. He is Karl and he takes
it to the out that retires to side. The Casco
flies to the left as Bob Morehead gets the Reds
out in order on the bottom half of the fourth inning,

(01:26:32):
no runs on, no hits, no errors, and nobody left
the end of four bulleting to play. The score is
Cincinnati four and New York won. Speaking of Veda Benson
coming to the Polo Grounds, as we were, he'll be

(01:26:53):

the single game on Wednesday afternoon. If you'd like to

(01:27:55):
coming up here in the top half of the fifth inning,
Don Zimmer. He's been up one time and he grounded
out short the first Bob Berky right hand who started
stilling there for Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (01:28:16):
Which is outside football.

Speaker 3 (01:28:18):
Bricky has won to and lost none. That's for the season.
That's his record, and he set to work. There's a
swing in the drive going to left field.

Speaker 1 (01:28:39):
Wallely Post goes back on the endcline and makes the.

Speaker 3 (01:28:41):
Catch a few feet from the fence. Them we're hitting
the ball well and driving Wally Posts back up on
the endcline. All around the outfield, the terrain slopes up
to the fence. You're at crosley Field, so outfielders must
determine exactly how are they're going to play. The end
clime while he Posts is playing is just about like

(01:29:03):
Frank Thomas does. That is right at the foot of
the end clide, so that your first step back is
a step up. Here is Chris count of Zarro to
catch your right hand better at the plate, which is
high for ball.

Speaker 1 (01:29:17):
One count of zero has been up one time and
he struck out.

Speaker 3 (01:29:28):
Sherman Jones, still throwing in the bullpen bore the New
York met as Cincinnati leads by a screw of four
to one. You're in the top half of the fifth inning.

Speaker 1 (01:29:38):
As a swing and a fly ball going fouled on the.

Speaker 3 (01:29:40):
Right field line. It is curving now on over towards
the stands and is out of play. One one the
count to Chris Contizero. The outfield is playing cant of

(01:30:02):
zero straight away. Carton has said Short has moved a
step or two into the hole, and Casko has moved
over a step towards the line, check swinging right in
there for a called strike. He's one and two Canta
zero checked. He swing, but uh, I'm barrel. Foreman behind
the plate says it's in there. Bob Perky with the pitch, has.

Speaker 1 (01:30:34):
A drive back to Percky on one big hop and
he plays over the first in in.

Speaker 3 (01:30:38):
Time for the out as Chris Contizero and one hopping
right back to Bob Perkey tossed it over to Gordon Coleman.
Two men out, nobody on, and Bob Morehead is due up,
and he's gonna come up with two men out and
nobody on base. Bob Morehead dancing to the plate here
in the time half of the fifth inning, Sherman jones.

(01:31:05):
He is warm now and he's sitting down since Morehead
is going to hit for himself, meant for hoping to
have something started by this time. But more Heads up there.
Here's a swing of the mess first strike nothing in

(01:31:32):
one to Bob Morehead with nobody on and two men out,
which is outside football. The outfield plays Morehead shaded a
little over towards right. That says a normal defense for
a picture unless he is a hitter known to pull
the ball or a good hitting pitcher. He's figured that

(01:31:53):
they're more likely to hit late than not one and
wanted to count the morehead curveball, and it's sit on
the ground, the Casco at thirty's up where it plays
across the Coleman at first in time and more heads
out rounding out from Eddie Casco to Gordon Coleman, and
the New York Mets are out in the top half
of the fifth inning with no runs on, no HiT's,

(01:32:14):
no errors, and nobody left and at the end of
four and one happening to play at Carsley Feel in Cincinnati.
The score is the Cincinnati read four and the New
York Mets won. Well, folks, the Mets may be New
York's brand new team, but they've got a few famous
New York names going for them. New York baseball fans
certainly are familiar with many of the well known names

(01:32:35):
from the past. And what about Ryan Gold beer. Now
there's a famous New York name, Ryan Gold the largest
selling beer in town year after year after year. Why
is rhyangold so popular because it's more refreshing naturally?

Speaker 1 (01:32:50):
Why is it more naturally refreshing because it's dry.

Speaker 3 (01:32:54):
That's right right tells you why Ryan Gold has it
takes all its own. It tells you that Ryan Gold
is brud long, flow, costly away. It's as frisk and
bright and clean clear through.

Speaker 1 (01:33:04):
Why not try a glass of Ryan Gold along with the.

Speaker 3 (01:33:06):
Game and see that there is a difference, a difference
you can really taste. You'll join the millions who already
say my beer is Ryan.

Speaker 1 (01:33:14):
Gold, the dry beer.

Speaker 3 (01:33:16):
And right now, in order to allow our stations to
identify them, twelve weep bars now for station identification.

Speaker 7 (01:33:23):
Hey ten under radio'dill w g y sconnectady the smoothest
sound around.

Speaker 1 (01:33:48):
This is Lindsay Nouson with Bob Murphy and Ralph Kenner
at Carsley.

Speaker 3 (01:33:51):
Feel and Cincinnati, where the Reds will be coming up
here in the bottom half of the fifth inny sending
up Beta, Vincent, Frank Robinson and Gordon Coleman, Reds leading
by a score of four to one. In case you
have joined us along the way, the New York Mets
got one run in the top half of the first sinning,
the Reds got one to tie it up in the
bottom of the second, and then the Reds got three

(01:34:12):
big ones in the bottom after the third inning and
they lead now by a score of four to one.
We've had no home runs in the ball game. Benson
that the plate has double and singled in two previous trips.
He's batting average right now is three hundred and ninety.
I had to drive on the right Fie line of
pall ball off the bout of Ada Penson, strike one.

(01:34:37):
I remember a year ago in March being in Germany
conducting baseball clinics for the Army along with Fred Haney,
and one of the soldier to ask a question of
mister Haney, he said, if you were going to have
your choice of any ballplayer in the National League right now,
ball the future, who would you pick? Ainy said, I'd
picked beda Pencis. He's a complete ballplayer. Morehead fit, which

(01:35:00):
goes high for the ball. It's one one. He has speed,
he can hit and hit for distance, feels a position
well and has a good arm. Has never played in
the Polo grounds, but we'll be there next Tuesday night.

(01:35:22):
Counting one ball and one strikes. Bob moorehead dips in
the wind up the pitch down, swung out and miss
pulled the string a little on it's one and two.
There's nobody out and nobody out to the red cutting

(01:35:42):
the bottom half of the fifth inning. Bob Miller was
the starting pitcher for the Mets. He went two and
two thirty innings in which he gave up four runs
on six it, struck out one.

Speaker 1 (01:35:56):
And walked one.

Speaker 3 (01:35:58):
Has the swing and the.

Speaker 1 (01:35:58):
Fly balls in the right tucking base fan Charlie.

Speaker 3 (01:36:01):
Neal underneath, waiting and taking it for the out. So
Vincent has popped out, went away. That brings up Frank Robinson.
He's been up price. He grounded out and walked. He's
nothing for one. Officially Robinson's betting average right now one
hundred and seventy three. Foreheads getting the signed from Cantazo.

(01:36:39):
They played Robinson to pool stands, right.

Speaker 1 (01:36:41):
Up there on the plate as a check swing, popped
down the first place run and filed territory into the
stands and out.

Speaker 3 (01:36:47):
Of play, which gave it a run over there in
front of the stands. Frank Robinson twenty six years of age,
as a lifetime Major league betting average of three hundred
and two. Kind of one strike to him right now,

(01:37:13):
right hand, better my head with a wind up and
the pitch down, I misses, everybody comes on back. It's
one and one. Last year was a great season for
Frank Robinson. He was a slugging King of the National

(01:37:33):
League with the mark of sixty eleven. Second successive year,
he led the league in slugging drove down one hundred
and twenty four runs. That's a new all time record
for Cincinnati outfielder. Here's a pitch, Shit's blowing away. This
one gets away from kind of Zara and comes on back.
He's chasing this one down. He wasn't one strike at

(01:37:53):
count now. Last year, Frank Robinson had the long batting
streak in the National League nineteen games. He led the
league in sacrifice flies with ten. He was on the
National League All Star Team. He was the most Valuable
Cincinnati player of nineteen sixty one and the most valuable

(01:38:15):
player in the National League of nineteen sixty one. Time
Gold for the moment he stepped out of the bout
his box. Now he's back in with a kind of
two balls and one strike up here with nobody on
and one man out, fitch is low and away, ball
three to Frank Robinson. He drew a walk in the
third inning. Three and one slain in a minute. This

(01:38:50):
strike two. Just before the pitch, Ilios Chakhan moved about
three steps more into the hole, playing round, missing the
ball right there on the pitch. Now it's three and two.

(01:39:10):
There's a payoff pitch flung out of a fly blah blah.
Frank Thomas drips over. He's getting underneath, he's waiting, and
he takes it for the two away, two men out.
Nobody on to the Red betting. In the bottom of
of the fifth, as the Reds leads the Mets play
a score of four to one, Gordon Coleman is coming up.
He plied the left hand hit into a double play.

(01:39:53):
Pitch to Coleman is low for ball one.

Speaker 5 (01:40:01):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:40:02):
Coleman is hitting two hundred and sixty eight, one home run,
seven runs batted in. Was in there for a Carl
Streight hit one one, two men out, nobody on base
for the red pitch is low two and one. Jordon Coleman,

(01:40:35):
during his minor league career, had a great record as
a hitter, but there seemed to be some doubt among
baseball experts that he ever could hit major league pitching
with that stance and that motion of bailing out. But
last year he stepped into the Cincinnati lineup and there
was a big factor in their drives to the Senate.

Speaker 1 (01:40:55):
Hits.

Speaker 3 (01:40:55):
A drive going on the right field for a bathes hits,
gonna fell up with relays.

Speaker 1 (01:41:00):
It in turning and holding it. First is Gordon Coleman, the.

Speaker 3 (01:41:05):
Single of rights. That is the second hit for the
Red All five morehead since he came in to relieve
Bob Miller and coming up now at Wally Post, he's
been upplasing. He had two hits. He has driven in
a run and he scored one. This is a fellow
who has hit some tape major home runs in his
time around the National League. Wally Post right now, he's

(01:41:28):
batting averages three hundred and forty. He had five home
runs and eleven runs batted in. He's off to a
great start this year, which is low from ball. A
couple of seasons ago, it appeared that the career of
Wally Post was just about ended. He was with the
Philadelphia Phillies and they were saying that he was just

(01:41:51):
about at the end of the line. But he came
back to Cincinnati, where he had known earlier fame, and
stepped into the lineup of a ten winning baseball team
swinging in a mids one one two men out, Coleman

(01:42:12):
the base run red first. Your defense is playing Wally
Post to Poll for the first. Poeman's getting back safely.

(01:42:35):
Here's a one one pitch down Low had a notion
that didn't swing through and two and one not a
Wally Post. Last year, Wally Posts had a season betting
average of two hundred and ninety four, and he had

(01:42:56):
twenty home runs.

Speaker 4 (01:42:58):
For the ride.

Speaker 3 (01:43:04):
Cowman leads it first to one pitch, get the call,
strike to two. Caught a corner there. Bob Moorhead goes
to the ross and bag.

Speaker 1 (01:43:18):
Just for the moment.

Speaker 3 (01:43:19):
I Post steps back in. Reds have their four runs
on eight hits, means have their one run on four heads.
Throw the d Coleman dives back in. This time he's safe.

(01:43:44):
Coman leaves it first, throw the first. He's back safely.
Its swinging a pile ball off the bat of Post.
Account holds too. During the World Series played here last fall,

(01:44:06):
construction was underway on an expressway behind the cuenter Field fence,
and fans will all over the construction implements and the
poles and everything else well, the expressway still is being built.
The implements are out there, but fans are still out
there on the embankment tonight, looking over the center field
fence at this ball game between the Cincinnati Reds and
the New York met fitz swung on.

Speaker 1 (01:44:31):
The ground, ball file out of play. It's when I
stealer by.

Speaker 3 (01:44:34):
Reggie O'to, the coaching third for the Cincinnati Reds, warhead
rubbing up the ball, let's around the outfield. Two balls
and two strikes to count. The big Wally post at
the plate Coman leaves it first throw over there, he's

(01:45:03):
back safely. Here's a two to two pitch swinging him.

Speaker 1 (01:45:24):
He struck him out to.

Speaker 3 (01:45:25):
Retire the side as Bob mooread achieves his first strikeout
since coming on in relief, and he gets the Reds
out with no runs on one hit.

Speaker 1 (01:45:34):
Nor is one left and at the end of five.

Speaker 3 (01:45:36):
Bulletings of play at Cardsley Feel in Cincinnati, the score
is the Cincinnati Read score and the New York Mets
one sounds like New Yorkers are on the march, like

(01:46:18):
the song says people everywhere, Thank God, my beer is
right goal the dry beer and try tells you why, Yes,
sir right tells you right goal has a frinch bright,
clean taste all its own. Dis cover the difference drying.
Pull yourself a tall, refreshing glass of rhine goal extra dry.
Enjoy it along with the ballgame.

Speaker 1 (01:46:43):
Well, the ground crew has come out to manicure the.

Speaker 3 (01:46:46):
Enfield a little bit here in accordance with National League rules,
with the President of the National League, mister Warren Johns
looking on from an upstairs box. And we'll be going
to the top half of the sixth inning. New York
Mets have the head of the batting order up there,
and we have the heading of the bating order up here, Bob.

Speaker 2 (01:47:02):
Murphy, thank you very kindly, Lindsey. In the sixth inning,
Ritchie Ashburn, already two for two in the game, hopes
to get things going for the New York mess against
veteran right hander Bob Perky. Richie singled the right field
in the first and he singled the right center field
in the third inning. Richie now needs but thirty seven

(01:47:23):
hits to reach the cove to twenty five hundred mark.

Speaker 1 (01:47:28):
Outside is ball one.

Speaker 2 (01:47:30):
The active players in the National League only stand the
man has more bassis than Ashburn. Ritchie hitting at three
eighty one. Eddie Casco playing in close the third against
the Ashburn a strike on the outside corner, one ball,

(01:47:50):
one strike. Young Johnny Edwards crossed behind the plate, sending
up the target the one to one pitch, taking a
high ball two to two and one. Well after, Ashburn

(01:48:13):
gets two for two, one to right field and the
other the right center. This time the Cincinnati Reds have
straightened that defense up against him. They had been playing
Ritchie hit to the opposite fields Penson way over and
left center, but this time Veda is playing straight away
against Ashburn.

Speaker 4 (01:48:30):
Now Bob Perky deals to and one, a.

Speaker 2 (01:48:32):
Foul ball back into the upper deck in the count
is even. Cincinnati four runs on eight hits and no ers,
the Mets one run, four hits and no errors. Ryan
gold extra dry happy to be sending you the play
by play from Crosby Field in Cincinnati. Pitching two and two,

(01:48:58):
whacked file down the left field and out of play.
Tonight at Milwaukee, Chris Short will be on the mind
for the Phillies and Ron Pouchet for the Milwaukee Braves.

(01:49:19):
At the end of three and a half, the Giants
Leed Pittsburgh wanted nothing. Gay Lord Perry for San Francisco
by a friend for the Pirates. Bowl again off the
fist and back toward the crowd. It'll be out of play.
They're under way now. Down in Houston, Texas, the Cardinals
did not score off lefty Dean Stone in the top
of the first inning. Ray Washburn going out to the
mound to face the Houston Cold forty five in a

(01:49:42):
day game. The Cubs, with four in the last of
the eighth inning, beat the Los Angeles Dodgers nine to six.
Elston the winner in relief and Larry Sherry the loser
in relief of Jenny Padres. Fly ball deep down the
right few line, and this will be foul Richie Ashburn,

(01:50:06):
who over the years has fouled many a pitch. Up
the end of four and a half, the Minnesota Twins
lead the Baltimore Orioles won and nothing. Don Lee against
the Birds. Chuckestrada fouled again, this time skiming back upstairs

(01:50:31):
to the cowstays at to two on the children. Nebraska
come at Richie Ashburn. The only other night game in
the American League. We'll find Cleveland on the West Coast
a Shafts Ravine playing the Los Angeles Angels. Shafts Ravine
has held no charm thus far for Bill Rigney's Angels,

(01:50:52):
they have been having difficulty in winning there. They were
beaten by Cleveland last night three to two. And the
ball is popped up down the third baseline of foul
ball getting under it throw as any Casco and on
the coaching lines, Casco takes it for the eye. So

(01:51:14):
Bob Perky hung in there and Wedsay's duel with Ritchie
Ashburn and that brings up Chakoon Helio on a hit
and run play single to left field in the first.
He tried to go to second when Wally Post through
the third, but a good accurate throw from Casco to
blasting game nail Chicon going into second. Helio then struck
out and the third he has one hit and two

(01:51:35):
times up. Chaconne hitting at three thirteen taken high one
ball in the strikes. Tomorrow will be an off day
for both of these teams. Friday, Cincinnati goes into Saint

(01:51:55):
Louis and of course the Mets are at home of
the Polo Grounds against the Phillies. Taken for a strike,
one ball, one strike. Next Monday, Cincinnati plays a benefit
game against Cleveland here and Cincinnati then may fly into
New York for the first night game of the season

(01:52:17):
at the Pulo Grounds. That'll be Tuesday night, May first.
One one delivery, breaking ball outside, two balls and a strike,

(01:52:47):
one out. Nobody on the Mets behind four to one,
taking a hive by ilioshakon three balls and one strike.

Speaker 4 (01:52:59):
That are on right hand.

Speaker 2 (01:53:00):
Bob Perky has not given up a walk, has struck
out four, allowed one run, four basins three one delivery
ball four. It's inside and low and there's the first
one handed out by Bob Perky. Now the number three

(01:53:22):
hitter in the batting winner Gus Bell. This is one
of those nights in which Gus has had no luck whatsoever.
In the first inning, with the infield playing in with
a runner on third, one down, Gus hit a ground
ball sharply that looked like it was a basin, but
Leo Cardon has left his feet, made a head first
dive to smother the ball, scrambled to his feet, fired

(01:53:44):
the first end time to get Gus and the lone
met run. Ashburn came in to score on the play.
His second time up, Benson went up the hill against
the center field wall to take one inside and low
one ball. In those strikes, Ballpark was just big enough
to hold the one Bell hit his last time up,
as Tenson climbed the hill, put his back against the

(01:54:06):
wall and took it at the three hundred and ninety
foot mark. Chicuage, leading off first, went out Pergie off
the stretch delivers a foul ball whipped back toward the screen.

(01:54:28):
One ball, one strike. At forms field, the Bucks came
up with two and their half of the fourth inning.
They now lead San Francisco two to one at the
end of four and at Milwaukee, the Phillies scored twice
off ron Fochet in the top of the first inning.
If I paid a five thousand, five fifty three fifty

(01:54:52):
five sixteen five thousand and five sixty three that paid
the night. Bell leans in and takes and it's off
the outside edge of the plate. Two balls in one stride.
Gordy Coleman not holding against Ileo Chicane with bella left hand.

Speaker 1 (01:55:09):
Hitter up there.

Speaker 2 (01:55:13):
Eddy Casco even with the bag wide of the line
at third and Leo cardonitiated towards second, the on field
swung around toward right pitching two and one drive hit hard,
but it will be fouled on the right field line.
Just ripping a curve ball that a little bit too
far out in front and it goes foul down the line.

(01:55:43):
After the chilli weather of the first week of the season,
it was quite an upset to get that temperature up
to eighty eight degrees today. Two and two on Gus.

(01:56:03):
Now he cocks the bat and comes the pitch to
him low. It's ball three. Now the spring is out
three and two to Gus Bell. Gus has hit many
a home run into that moon deck in right field
over the years. He's been nine seasons here at Cincinnati.

(01:56:36):
Pull count three and two one. Dinads Amy Yosha Khon
leads off first. Now the fitch and it's a high
fly ball to center field, not too deep. Handling back
a few strands, Veda Penson, and Veda makes the catch
for the out. There are two away, Bob Perky getting

(01:56:57):
Gus Bell on three and two.

Speaker 4 (01:56:58):
That brings up Frank Thomas. Frank grounded out short to first.

Speaker 2 (01:57:03):
In the first inning and then single the left field
in the fourth inning.

Speaker 4 (01:57:07):
So Frank has one for two.

Speaker 2 (01:57:09):
He's sitting at two seventy three, leads the Mets and
home runs with four and RBIs with seven. A half
swing and a ground ball hit it right back to
the mound. Perky has it and throws the first to
retire the side. Kind of a half hearted swing. Frank

(01:57:32):
started after them, trying to hold us no runs, no hits,
no irs, and one left on.

Speaker 4 (01:57:38):
At the end of five and a.

Speaker 2 (01:57:39):
Half innings, the score the Reds four and the Mets.
What well, you know, folks like the sign says new team,
new girl, same great beer. Yes, sir, New York has
certainly taken to his brand new National League team, the Mets,
and our new mess Ryan Gold in nineteen sixty two. Well,

(01:58:02):
it's more popular than lovely Kathy Kirch and the same
great beer, Ryan Gold. It's been New York's favorite for
as long as I can remember. How come so many
millions choose Ryan Gold over all other beers? Simply enough,
it's beer as beer should taste. Dry tells you why

(01:58:24):
dry beer is lighter, more naturally refreshing, and rain gold
is extra dry, extra dry or that extra refreshing taste
no other beer can match. Why not see it for yourself?
Now what a difference dry makes. Enjoy a glass of
refreshing Ryan Gold along with the game. You'll join millions

(01:58:45):
who say my beer is Ryan Gold, the dry beer.

(01:59:09):
Johnny Edwards one for two in the game, leading off
against five morehead on the home half of the sixth
inning day games Today in the National League to Cubs
beat the Dodgers down to six. Yankees won a big
one with four and the nine th thing to beat
the White Socks seven to six, breaking ball, taking one
ball and those strikes. The Red Socks beat Washington at

(01:59:32):
seven to one to five hitter by Jean Conley. In
Kansas City, won a slugfest from Detroit nine to eight,
two balls and those strikes. Well, you can never figure baseball,
which certainly is one of the reasons it's our national pastime.

(01:59:55):
Last night in Detroit, Don Massey outfit or out dual
Dan Fister with the Tigers winning one to nothing. Today,
the A's went at nine to eight. Drive hit hard
the right center toward the alley. Ashburn running at full
speed won't be able to get there. It's bouncing off
the wall and right center for an extra base hit.
Edwards around second checks up there. Johnny Edwards, the left

(02:00:30):
handed batting catcher. If that one hard a line drive
on one hop, it was up against the wire fence
in the extreme right center field corner three hundred and
ninety feet out, So that is the third hit given
up by relief fitcher. Bob Moore hit the ninth in
the game for Cincinnati, and the hitter will be Leo Cardinis.

Speaker 4 (02:00:47):
The short stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:00:52):
Cardiness has one hit and two times up. He singled
in the second inning to drive in Wally Post with
the first Cincinnati rud that ties the game one to one.
The Reds one in front with three runs in the
third inning and they lead four to one. Now the

(02:01:14):
Mets are on the alert against the possibility of the
bun at Bouchet moving up the line.

Speaker 4 (02:01:19):
Down comes the pitch. He takes an outside ball one.

Speaker 2 (02:01:29):
Bob Perky will be up next, and then Don Blastingave.

Speaker 4 (02:01:41):
Have a pitch on the way.

Speaker 2 (02:01:42):
Full swing in a line drives the right field for
a base hit. It's rolling down the line and into
the corner around third, heading in as Johnny Edwards around
second is cardon us. He's flying toward third and he'll
be in at third, standing up with a right field
trip off.

Speaker 4 (02:02:10):
Well.

Speaker 2 (02:02:10):
Cardaness, a right hand hitter, hit a hard line drive
down the right field line and into the right field corner.
It goes three hundred and sixty six feet to the
right field corner at the foul pool. For the time
Gus Felt could run the ball down and get it
back to Charlie Neal. They had no shot at all
on Cardinals. He was then standing up of the run.

Speaker 4 (02:02:29):
Scoring triple. So the Reds increased their lead to.

Speaker 2 (02:02:33):
Five to one.

Speaker 1 (02:02:34):
They have a runner at Cardiness on third.

Speaker 2 (02:02:36):
Nobody out, and Bob Perky coming up. And now the
Mets will bring the infield in tight on the edge
of the carpet once again. The sign has been since
of the bullpen and road. Black Jones starts loosening up.
That is the first run given.

Speaker 1 (02:02:55):
Up by Bob Morehead.

Speaker 2 (02:03:00):
They look for anything in this spot. Down comes the
pitch swing anim strike one, Leo Cardonisan third, Nobody out,

(02:03:22):
the pitcher pop Perky is up. Morehead will the wind up.
Down comes the pitch swing an a mist strike two.
Once again Perky checking with Reggie o'taro. The third base
coachs Don blasting game on dec and then Eddie Casco

(02:03:47):
Morehead winds and the pitch on the way is inside
of the letters. One ball, two strikes, Cincinnati five runs
on ten hits, no airs, the Mets one run, four hits,
no airs. Pitching one and two. He's drugging out swinging

(02:04:13):
with a big breaking ball. And now before Don blasting
game steps in the hit, we'll step out for station identification.

Speaker 7 (02:04:23):
Hey ten on your dial WGY A General Electric station schedectady.

Speaker 2 (02:04:35):
Bob Murphy with Lindsey Nelson and Ralph Kenner from Crossley Field, Cincinnati.

Speaker 4 (02:04:40):
Don Zimmer, Chris.

Speaker 2 (02:04:41):
Cannon zero and Bob Morehead talked things over. Now with
the runner on third cardinist who can run blasting game
a left ten hitter up and one man out. Now
Al Jackson, a left hander, was aren't limbering up, so

(02:05:02):
on the bullpen. The Mets have Sherman Jones, a right hander,
Al Jackson, a left hander, both getting ready. The infield
plays in tight blasting game over two in the game
has lined out dash burn fly dashburn, but on base
once when he was hit by a pitch and later scored.

(02:05:22):
Don comes to pitch outside his ball one Canazaro cast
a quick glance toward third. Now Morehead looks the runner
back into his wind up. The pitch on the way

(02:05:44):
strike called a fastball at the letters one ball in
one strike on Don blasting game. Don was passing out
the cigars in the clubhouse prior to the ballgame because
he's the thousand papa of a proud baby boy. One

(02:06:08):
and one the count on blasting game. The pitch on
the way, this is the outside edge.

Speaker 3 (02:06:15):
Two and one.

Speaker 4 (02:06:16):
Cardanes gave that one a good bluff as though he
was coming.

Speaker 3 (02:06:30):
The last half of the.

Speaker 2 (02:06:31):
Sixth inning cardoness on third one down. Now the wind
up and the pitch this is the outside corner. Three
and one Cardamis came way down the line then checked
it up and he may be bothering Bob Morehead just
a little bit. Three and one count on down blasting game.

Speaker 3 (02:07:03):
Three.

Speaker 2 (02:07:03):
One delivery outside it's ball four blasting game walks. That
is the first walk given up by Bob mooreheaded relief,
and it brings up Eddie Casco. Casco playing third, has

(02:07:25):
one for three single to center field and the third
inning and later scored. Casco crossed the plate while the
Mets were turning a double play. Every time the Mets
turn a double play, it means one thousand Viceroy cigarettes
to the Veterans Hospital in New York. The same as
true each time a member of the Mets. It's the
home run. Now the infield is halfway the outfield a

(02:07:56):
step toward left or Eddie Casco right hand hitter.

Speaker 3 (02:08:07):
Runners at the corners.

Speaker 2 (02:08:08):
One man down cast go the hitter five to one,
Cincinnati in front into the stretch.

Speaker 3 (02:08:12):
Now is more ahead.

Speaker 2 (02:08:16):
Now the pitch starts him off with the curve and
it breaks over for a call. Strake one and now
Don Zimmer turns to Ed Sudall, the third base on
pirates that let's hold it for a moment, and he
makes a quick journey to the man defensive endfield must
be alert for just about anything. Eddie Casko, the number

(02:08:38):
two men in the batting winner good hit and run man.

Speaker 4 (02:08:42):
Good bunner.

Speaker 2 (02:08:45):
Charlie Neal and Eleo Shakon set up hoping for a
double play. The one strath pitch fly a ball loop
the shallow right center field bell, racing again at full speed,
takes the catch, tagged up his card in this and he's.

Speaker 4 (02:09:01):
Gonna hold up.

Speaker 2 (02:09:02):
He comes down the line to draw the throw, which
was a good one in perfect line for the cutoff
man at Bouchet and ed after seeing that Cards was
holding up, cut the throw off. So the runners hold
at first and third. There are two away in the batter.
Now Ada pencil BETA has two for three. He is

(02:09:27):
hitting a scorching three eighty three. BETA has four home
runs twenty one runs bat at them, and now Casey
Stingle is moving to the mind. He has Al Jackson,
a left hander, warming up along with the right hander
Sherman Jones. Casey Stingle with arms folded in the midst

(02:09:54):
of the huddle, now on the mind talking to his
pitcher Bob Morehead and the left hander Al Jackson will
be brought in to face Veda pension, so Bob Morehead
will be leaving the game with tu Dan in the
last of the sixth innings. That means Morehead pitches a

(02:10:17):
total of three innings. He worked one third of the
third inning and two thirds of the sixth inning. Bob
Morehead at the moment has given up one run, four basis,
walked one and struck out two five who won the score.

(02:10:47):
The Reds in front were the last of the sixth inning,
and now Bob Morehead leaves the game left the Al

(02:11:12):
Jackson will be making his fourth appearance of the year.
Al has started twice, appeared once in relief. He relieved
against Pittsburgh, started against Pittsburgh, and then started against the Cardinals.
Al Jackson, who was born on Christmas Day at nineteen
thirty five in Waco, Texas, as one nun.

Speaker 4 (02:11:33):
And loss too.

Speaker 2 (02:11:35):
Throws a lot of current balls and a lot of sladders.
Al Jackson firing any warm up eggs to Chris Canizaro.

(02:11:57):
Al the third picture of that used now by a
case Bob Miller started. Bob left the game of the
third when Cincinnati came up with three runs in two
and two thirds innings, Miller gave up four runs, six
base hits, Bob Moorehead and three has allowed one run,
four hits, walked one, struck out two. So Casey's single

(02:12:21):
anticipating that this situation might come up about five minutes
ago since the sign down to the bullpen for Al
Jackson to hurry and they get ready. Casey going with
the percentage just getting the left hander into face the

(02:12:42):
left hand hitter Veda Penson Don Summer playing in close
a third wide of the line. She's going up astride
it short against the speed of Veda Penson. Al Jackson
off the stretch, in comes the spitch curve is way outside.

(02:13:02):
One ball in those strikes Leo Cardinals on third, Don
blasting game on first. There are two away add Jackson
makes the one second stop, kicks the leg, hitches swing

(02:13:24):
and a miss on a breaking ball.

Speaker 3 (02:13:26):
One ball, one.

Speaker 4 (02:13:27):
Strike to pension Beta.

Speaker 2 (02:13:31):
Penson makes his first Polo Grounds appearance next Tuesday.

Speaker 4 (02:13:34):
Night, May first, in the very first night game of
the year at.

Speaker 2 (02:13:39):
The Polo Grounds, one on one, the count on Beda
Penson now the pitcher on the way outside and low

(02:14:03):
kennon zero had to glide for it and the count
two and one. Sherman Jones continues to warm in the bullpen,

(02:14:25):
pitching two and one, taking high ball three and Jackson
now is behind on pensing three and one. Frank Robinson,
a right hand batter waiting on deck lander with an

(02:14:50):
over and closed fence bend's just lightly from the waist
down on the nut of the bat. Free one delivery,
a line driving the right field. A faith had for
Va Penson. The old Cardiness is in the store and
the ball goes through the legs of Gus Bell. Lasting
game around third is tacking for the plate. There'll be
no play for it, and he comes in and Penson

(02:15:11):
goes all the way to third base. After it'll be
a single for Vada Penson and an RBI driving in Cardinals,
Benson's second RBI of the game. The ball gets through

(02:15:33):
the legs of Gus Bell for an air enabling blasting
Game to come in and Veda Penson, who can really fly,
goes all the way to third and now the Reds
on a.

Speaker 3 (02:15:44):
Six run lead.

Speaker 2 (02:15:45):
They are out in front seven to one. The batter
is Frank Robinson. Here's the wine to pitch. Bay Jackson
gets the inside corner for a strike. Both runs charged
to Bob moorehead the runner on third. Pensman is the

(02:16:10):
responsibility of relief pitcher Al Jackson in comes the pitch
to Robinson, fouled at back end of the screens, strike two.
Frank starting the year in a batting slump. He's ozero
for two in this game, has grounded out and fly
to left his other time up in the third, and
then he drew a walk. Frank has nine hits in

(02:16:35):
fifty three times up. Didn't feel back deep. Now the
two strike pitch a high fly ball the left center
Ritchie Ashburn strolls to his right, is there and makes
the catch to it own the side, but Cincinnati and

(02:16:59):
the home Sexton adds three runs. There were three hits,
one air, and one man left on. Three runs, three hits,
one air and one left on. Al Jackson gets credit
for one third of the inning.

Speaker 1 (02:17:18):
He gave up one hit.

Speaker 2 (02:17:20):
The three runs crossing the plate charge to Bob moorehead
and so at the end of six the score now
Cincinnati's seven and the New York Mets one. In other games,
at the end of two innings, the Phillies and the
Milwaukee Braves are tied two to two. Chris Short against
the Braves, Ron Pouchet five innings complete. Now at forbes Field,

(02:17:42):
Pittsburgh to the Giants one Gaylard Perry pitching for the Giants,
five Friend for the Pirates, Friend trying for his fourth
win of the year without a loss. Saint Louis nothing,
Houston nothing. After an inning and a half wifeprend against
Dean Stone. In a day game, the Cubs got four
in the eighth inning to outslug the Dodgers nine. Elston
the winner and relief Hobby had started. Shrry the loser

(02:18:04):
had relieved Padres had started. Duke Snyder, Willie Davis, Ron Sano,
Ernie Banks, and Andrea Rodgers all hit home runs. Kansas
City won a slugfest from Detroit nine to eight. Jerry
Walker the winner, Doug Gallagher the loser. Minnesota won Baltimore nothing.
At the end of six down Lee against Chuck Estrado.
The Yanks beat the White Socks seven to six, and
the Red Sox beat Washington seven to one. And right

(02:18:28):
now it would be a good time to light up
a viceroy. Vice Roy is not too strong, not too late.
Vice Roy has got the taste this right, that's right.
We're in the seventh thirty now with that Bouchet up
against bib Perky, and the breaking ball is inside.

Speaker 4 (02:18:58):
Bouchet over to betting.

Speaker 2 (02:19:00):
At three thirty three, Burgie deals breaking ball over a strike,
one ball and one strike. The one one delivery he

(02:19:27):
lays off of it. It's a pipe ball, two two
and one. Cincinnati seven runs, eleven hits, no heirs. The
Mets one run, four hits, one air in field and
the outfield around the right. Blouche swings and missus two

(02:19:51):
and two. Charlie Nelon decking in Don Zimmer pitching two

(02:20:11):
and two. He swings in the nuclear and misses. It
gets away from Edwards. Edward's throwing the first in time
to get the bouchet. He had to run it down
about ten feet after having a pope out of his
met Bines strike us for by Perky, and that brings

(02:20:35):
up Charlie Neil. Charlie has been up twice tonight and
both time has been struck out by Perky. Charlie hitting
at two ninety seven on eleven for thirty seven, ground
ball bounced right back to the mine. Taking in the
glove hand by Perky. He throws to Gordy Coleman and

(02:20:55):
there are two away. Bob Perky has been mighty tough.
He has given up just two basts since the first inning.

Speaker 4 (02:21:12):
He joined us late.

Speaker 2 (02:21:12):
The Mets scored their only run of the game in
the first inning. Ashburn let off with a single to right.
Chakolaahn't run play single to left, Richie went to third,
and then Richie scored as Bell was thrown out ball
one to dine Zimmer down over two has grounded I
short to first and fled deep to left field perky winding,

(02:21:44):
and the pitchers hid high in the year to center field.
Beta Penson moves in about three steps, draws a beat
on it, and puts it away for the third ee.
So the Mets are rid in order, and there are
half of the seventh inning with no runs, no hits,
no errors, and then left gone at the end of
six and a half innings to score Cincinnati's seven and
the New York Mets one. You know, after you've seen

(02:22:08):
all the teams in action, it's fairly easy to spot
to stand out player at the various positions. Same way
with filter cigarettes. After you've smoked all seven of the leaders,
you know there's a big difference in Vice roy Now,
some taste so strong you might as well not smoke
a filter cigarette at all, and others taste so light

(02:22:29):
they take all the fun out of smoking. But you
can tell Vice Roy's and Allstar are the first time
you tried them. Yes, sir, Vice Roy tastes the way
you'd like a filter cigarette to taste, not too strong,
not too light. Fis Roy's got the taste that's right.
So fans remember there's a big difference in the taste

(02:22:50):
of filter cigarettes. The way to prove it for yourself
is to catch up with a seven leading filter cigarettes
in action. Yes, sir, smoke all seven. I'll bet you'll
agree with our rating. You'll find some taste too strong,
some taste too light. But Vice Roy's got the taste.

Speaker 1 (02:23:08):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (02:23:10):
That's right, my friends, better change to Viceroy and get
the Fielder cigarette that beats one thousand for taste. On

(02:23:34):
the seventh thinning in Cincinnati, the Reds with the six
run lead at Gordy Coleman up against lefty Al Jackson.
Gordy singled a ride in the fifth inning, has one
for three, tried to hold up on a swing, but
he fouled, tipped the ball strike one. Gordy came up
for the Cleveland organization, had a big year at Mobile

(02:23:55):
and then the Cincinnati Reds made a deal with Cleveland.

Speaker 4 (02:23:57):
To getting outside one ball.

Speaker 1 (02:24:02):
One strike.

Speaker 2 (02:24:02):
This for Gordy Coleman is his third year with the Reds.

Speaker 4 (02:24:06):
Last year was a good one.

Speaker 2 (02:24:09):
At two eighty seven nine eighty seven runs in from Rockville, Maryland.
The one one delivery round ball hit down the first baseline.
Yp Bouchet has it, he flips the Jackson covering in
time for the eye. Al Jackson reminds you a great
deal of Harvey Haddicks and Bobby Shen's the way he
feels his position. Boy, he was over there to get

(02:24:31):
the throw from at Bouchet almost before Bouget had.

Speaker 1 (02:24:33):
In his glove.

Speaker 3 (02:24:38):
One away.

Speaker 2 (02:24:38):
Nobody on in the last half of the seventh Now
Wally Post. Wally off to a fast start in the
nights game. He has two for three and has driven
in a run. Post hitting at three thirty three, takes
outside and lowest ball one.

Speaker 4 (02:25:05):
In twelve years.

Speaker 2 (02:25:06):
While he has the last time average of two sixty eight,
but he's been well over his lifetime average the last
two years, the eleventh and twelfth of his career, slow
breaking ball for a strike, one ball in one strike,
last journey at two ninety four and year before.

Speaker 4 (02:25:22):
Last two eighty two.

Speaker 2 (02:25:27):
He came back to Cincinnati right on the trade deadline
June fifteenth, year before last outside and low two balls
and win strike for the ballplayers. Undoubtedly the most nervous
day of the season is June fifteenth, fifteen, two and

(02:25:52):
one breaking ball just off the outside corner three and one.
Year in and year out, trades are always made right
on the deadline. The Giants came up with four runs
in the top of the sixth inning and they have
gone ahead of Pittsburgh five to two. At the end

(02:26:14):
of five and a half, it's outside ball four and
Wally Post gets a base on balls first walk, giving
up by Jackson that will bring up Johnny Edwards. Johnny
Edwards has two for three. He had a long double
the right center his last time up. He was leading

(02:26:36):
off of the sixth inning when he doubled, and he
came into score on a right field triple by Leo Cardanus.
Reds in front seven to one. Home seventh thinning, he
leans Finn and takes it's outside ball one.

Speaker 3 (02:27:06):
One away.

Speaker 2 (02:27:06):
With Wally Post on first base, Edward's sitting out of
a crouch down comes the pitch inside of the knees,
ball two to and zero. Although the group of young
pitchers for the New York Mets have encountered a lot

(02:27:28):
of difficulty, George Waits and Casey Sting will both still
feel that they will get into a good groove and
will pitch good ball ground ball back to the mound.
Jackson has that he throws the second to Chaconne one
back to first save on a close one Johnny Edward's
reaching on the fielder's choice, Jackson fired to Elios chacon

(02:27:51):
but ELO's peg de bouchet was not in time for two.
Now there are two away of the hitter is Leo Cardinals.
Cardoness has a big knight going a single, he plied
the center and he tripled a right. He has driven
in two of the seven Cincinnati runs too high ball one.

(02:28:22):
Leo cards and Veda pens And each have driven in two,
while he post has knocked in one. One run scored
while a double play was being made, and the other
came in on an error charged to Gus Bell. Low
Ball two to and zero. Cardonists, who got into about

(02:28:48):
half of the game's last year, had over three hundred.
Right now with eight for thirty four, he's betting at
two thirty five way outside is ball three three and zero.
Freddie Hutchinson forced to revise his infield somewhat due to

(02:29:08):
the injury to Jane Freeze. They had hoped that Cliff Cook,
a rookie who had a great year and Trimble ala
season would be the answer, but when he failed to
get off to a good start in the spring, Ready
went to the veteran Eddie Casco him there for a strike.

Speaker 4 (02:29:26):
Three and one.

Speaker 2 (02:29:32):
We'll take a look at our complete scoreboard. At the
end of the inning, Jackson Ready deals three and one.
The runner goes grinder hit down. The third Summer up
with it even with the bag hurries the peg in
time and they have cardians to retire the side. Zip
had to put plenty on that throw because he had

(02:29:53):
to come up to field the grinder side retired to
the seventh thing with no runs, no hits, no errors
left on the now seven innings complete the score Cincinnati
seven and the New York Mets one on our scoreboard.
At the end of two and a half, Philly's two

(02:30:14):
and the Braves two short against Boshet. At the end
of five and a half, the Giants have gone ahead
of Pittsburgh five to two on home runs by Orlando
Supaida with two men on and Ed Bailey with the
bass clearer. Don Larson has relieved gay Lord Perry.

Speaker 1 (02:30:31):
He may have come in.

Speaker 2 (02:30:32):
Perry probably went out for a hitter. Bomb Friend is
in there for the Pirates, Houston nothing, Saint Louis nothing.
At the end of three, Ray Washburn against Dean Stone.
In a day game, the Cubs beat the Dodgers nine
to six with four in the eighth inning. Elston the winner,
Larry Sherry the loser five home runs in the game.
In the American Lake, Kansas City nine Detroit eight Taggers

(02:30:53):
were charged with five errors in that game. They used
Doug Gallagher, Sam Jones, Paul foyte Fred Gledding, and Phil Ree.
At the end of seven, Baltimore on a home run
by Jackie Brant, has tied at the Minnesota Twins one
to one.

Speaker 4 (02:31:06):
At the end of seven.

Speaker 2 (02:31:08):
Nothing yet on Cleveland and Los Angeles on the West
coast in day games, the Yankees, storming from behind with
four in the ninth inning, beat the White Sock seven
to six. Whitey Ford but Daily Jim Coates and Rolling
Sheldon for New York. With Sheldon the winter he came
out of the ninth the Zarro Fisher in the ninth
and line of the ninth Fisher the loser. Landis and
Scourn hit home runs a five hitter for Gene Conley.

(02:31:30):
The Red Sox beat Washington seven to one home runs
by Frank Malzone and Gene Conley. Now Chris Canazaro is
up and the fits thrown by Perky as a strike

(02:31:50):
on the outside corner.

Speaker 4 (02:31:54):
Casey Stengel as.

Speaker 2 (02:31:55):
Roadblock loosening up again with the fisher scheduled up next
next pitch breaking ball over a call strike two strikes
to Chris Canta zero Chris over to in the game.

(02:32:38):
Jim Marshall has come out on deck foul tip. He
missed it on the knuckleball, a ball dropped by Edwards.
He picks it up, throws the first in time. Can
Azaro almost legged it down there in time. We thought
at first it was a foul tip, but he had
swung and missed the pitch and hit against the chest protector,
bounded away and Edwards retrieved and threw in time.

Speaker 3 (02:33:00):
Jim Marshall is coming.

Speaker 1 (02:33:01):
Up to bat for Al Jackson.

Speaker 3 (02:33:15):
Five.

Speaker 2 (02:33:15):
Percy, who has walked only one man, now has struck
out six. Jim Marshall stepping in the pinch hut. He
drives the bunny his way on but the ball goes
foul off to the left. No plays strike one. Jim
hitting at three, thirteen, five or sixteen, including two home runs.

(02:33:44):
All three of the New York Mets first basemen have
real good power when they get ahold of one taking
high one ball, one strike. The Mets, after tonight's game,
will be back in the Polo Grounds for a six
game four games with the Phillies over the weekend Friday Saturday,
double hitter on Sunday, then the first night game of

(02:34:06):
the year Tuesday night against Cincinnati, and a day game
on Wednesday against the Reds. The ball is popped up
the short left field moving out goes to shortstop Leo Cardinals,
and he has it for the eye. Bob Perky just
seems to be getting stronger as the game rolls along.

(02:34:28):
He has now retired seven in a row. He has
not given up a basis since the fourth inning, when
time was single. Perky has retired thirteen of the last
fourteen hitters. The only man to reach along that string
was Heliosha Khan when he drew a walk. Now Richie

(02:34:51):
Ashburn is up. Richie's two for three runs up as
if the bunt takes it at strike one call eighth
and Cincinnati seven, New York Mets one. Bob Perky swings

(02:35:13):
into his land up now pitches curve inside, one ball,
one strike, Ritchie Ashburn choking up on the handle of

(02:35:35):
the bet wax it foul back up into the crowd,
one ball and two strikes. They changed their defensive strategy
against Richie after his first two times up. First two
times he came up, they had Penson over and left center,
moved everything around, playing him to hit to the opposite field,
and both times Richie get bases to right field, and

(02:35:55):
now they are playing him almost straight away on the
left side of the infield cardivals the shortstop has moved
a strit or two over toward the hole knuckleball outside.
The count is even at two and two. The Milwaukee

(02:36:21):
Braves are exploding against Chris short and the Phillies. In
the last half of the third inning, Eddie Matthews has
rocked a three run homer and Joe Edcock has had
won nobody on popped up off the fist down the
first base line. Up the line comes Gordy Coleman in
fair territory. He takes it for the off. The Mets
are out of the eighth inning with no runs, no hits,

(02:36:43):
no harrors, and then left on and now at the
end of seven and a half innings.

Speaker 4 (02:36:48):
The score.

Speaker 2 (02:36:50):
The Cincinnati read seven and the New York Mets won.
Coming up now, I Medley with an old world.

Speaker 3 (02:36:56):
Flavor victimone saying down on mot Re Street, far and
near the one they like is rhyaneold beer rhyaneo up
beer of not better catelicia for ted la go, don't

(02:37:21):
English have the same word for refreshment, rhinegold. Remember that
name when you want beer that's brisk and tight and clean,
clear through dry. Tells you why Ryan Gold has brewed
the long, slow, costly away. It's New York's favorite. It's beers.

Speaker 1 (02:37:37):
Beer should taste.

Speaker 3 (02:37:38):
Mine beer is rhyane gold. Drive me think of rhyanold
whenever you buy beer. It's not bitter, not sweet, It's
the dry flavored treat. Won't you try extra dry rhyangol
beer shall.

Speaker 2 (02:38:05):
The last half of the eighth inning, now and the
New York Mets have Sherman road Black Jones coming into pitch,
Al Jackson leaving the game in favor of a pinch
hitter Jim Marshall, and now Roadblock is all set to go.
To work in the last of the eighth inning, and
the leadoff entner for Cincinnati will be Bob Perky. Perky
has been up three times, failed it twice, has been
struck out, and then the fourth inning fly to center.

(02:38:33):
Down in the bullpen, Jay Hook is just tuning up.
Squibber has slowly down the first baseline, coming up to
the ball as Ed Bouchet. He puts the tag on
Perky as he comes down the line. One away and
unassisted play for Ed Bouche. And now before Don blasting
Game steps in the face Road Black Jones, Let's pause
for a station identification.

Speaker 3 (02:38:56):
A ten on your dial.

Speaker 7 (02:38:57):
Wgy Sconnectedy the smoothest around.

Speaker 2 (02:39:10):
Bob Murphy with Lindsay Nelson and Ralph Kinner from Cincinnati.
The Reds leeting seven to one last of the eighth
and n the leadof Hitterer. Don blasting Game up left
hand batter leans in and takes ball. One blasting game
has lion to Ashburn and Rise center been hit by
a pitch and later scored flying Ashburn and Center and
drona walk foul ball back one ball and went striped.

(02:39:49):
Last year, a blasting games average fell off to two
twenty two, but Lion time he's a two sixty one hitter.
Zimmer and cost a third fastball on strike on the
inside corner, and road Black had funny on that one.
Road Black has a real good fastball, and Red Ruffing

(02:40:10):
has been working with him, trying to get him to
go with it more. Sherman out of his wind up
the one two pitch outside high two and two on
Don Blasting Game. Blasting Game came to Cincinnati along with

(02:40:36):
Bob Smith and the fellow on the mind right now
Sherman Jones or if Bailey two two pitch foul ball
back no play in that trade only Blasting Game remains
with the Reds. Smith has gone to Washington, and of
course Sherman Jones to the Mets. Two two delivery just

(02:41:10):
got a piece of that. When a foul ball coming
back no play, that's flying home right after the game tonight.
They'll be getting into New York in the wee hours,
probably around two two thirty. Tomorrow is an off day.
They'll be kennered to salute Tomorrow night by the Manhattan Club,
and Friday they play the Phillies with the Polo Grounds
on the opener of the homestand an all speed delivery

(02:41:33):
by a roadblock missing three and two pitching three and
two fastball outside ball four, lasting game on base for

(02:41:58):
the third time tonight. The Mets have used four pitchers
in the nance game, and each pitcher has given up
one walk. Bob Miller, Bob Moore, hit Al Jackson, and
now Sherman Jones. Here's Eddie cast goo. Eddie has one
hitd and four times that be single to the third

(02:42:19):
inning right hand better, lasting game with the leadoff first
and the pitcher was taking ball one. Eddie cast go
from Linden, New Jersey. Find your Venteroran who first came
up with the Cardinals strike on the outside corner one ball,

(02:42:43):
one strike. Last year Eddie hit two seventy one, lasting
game leading off first, and now.

Speaker 4 (02:43:02):
Roadblock steps off.

Speaker 2 (02:43:05):
Last year when Eddie Casko hit too seventy one, he
just about hit his last time average, which is two
seventy two. I throw the first not in time and
blasting game. Is asking Tom Gorman, the first base umpire,
about the move made by Roadblock. The one one pitch

(02:43:32):
ground ball hit down to third. Zumber has it fires
across the niel. There's one on to first, not in time.
Lasting game went hard into Charlie Neil at second. Base
ball had been thrown from deep third by Don Zimmer,
so they forced Don blasting game from Don Zimber to
Charlie Neal Casco reaching on the fueler's choice, and that
brings up Beata Pens.

Speaker 4 (02:44:01):
Beta.

Speaker 2 (02:44:02):
Penson has three for four and the NaNs game has
driven two runs. In fowl ball tried to hold upstract one.
In three full seasons with Cincinnati, Beta had his first

(02:44:24):
full season two hundred and five hits, his second year
one hundred and eighty seven, and last year two hundred
and eight. Lifetime average of three thirteen. He appeared in
twenty seven games in fifty eight after a big year
at Seattle. Now the pitch by a road black round

(02:44:48):
ball downs Thriller slowly on the right side of the diamond,
Neil reaching the ball running toward the whole proz to
Bouchet for the third out, side out in the last
half of the eighth and again for the red SnO runs,
no hits, no errors, one left on. So at the
end of eight the score the Cincinnati read seven, and
the New York Mets won. And we'll be going along

(02:45:12):
to the ninth inning with the Mets coming in and
putting their hopes on Ilioshakun, Gus Bell and Frank Thommas.
We hope you're making your ticket plans now to catch
action at the Polo Grounds in the six game homestand

(02:46:23):
of the ninth inning against Bob Perkey. Berky has retired
fourteen of the last fifteen hitters that he has faced.
The only man to reach of the last fifteen was
Chicon who drill walk in the sixth thing. Now Berky

(02:46:43):
into his wand up and the pitch thrown a looper
hitting the air out towards second under the ball of
his blasting game and he takes it for the eye
gout of a soft line drive, not really enough hats
to it to be a pop up one away in
the ninth the Mets have been held at four hits

(02:47:12):
by five Perky in the batter now is Gus Bell
Gus over three tonight way inside. He had to jump
back to get out of the way ball what now

(02:47:35):
Ferky cranking up? Down comes the pitch a strike on
the inside corner, one ball, one strike. Veda Penson has
led the red leg attack tonight with three for five
and two RBIs Leo Cardon is two for four and
two RBIs Wally Post and Johnny Edwards East getting two
hits ground ball on the right side of the dine

(02:47:59):
and Gordy co Monothwey's right grams and throws the Perky
covering in time. Two men down on the top of
the ninth and ninth that's down to their final out.

(02:48:22):
In the ninth inning, we'll have Frank Thomas coming up.
That's all the four hits by Perky, Ashburn two, Hicone one,
and Frank Thomas one drive hit hard in the air
to left field, coming in his Wally Post. He drops

(02:48:43):
the ball and breaks off his glove. Thomas around first
is on his way a second and he'll go into
second base standing up. He'll be scored as a two
base error against Wally Post. It was a hard line drive.
Posts coming in, got his glove on it, but failed
to hold it. Turkey had retired ten straight. That breaks

(02:49:11):
the string. He has not given up a hit since.

Speaker 4 (02:49:13):
Back in the fourth inning.

Speaker 2 (02:49:15):
They had a wild inning in the fourth down in Houston.
The Cardinals scored four runs and Houston came right back
for three runs. So the Cardinals lead the Cold forty
fives four to three at the end of four.

Speaker 4 (02:49:26):
Washburn and Stone. The Strutters are still in there.

Speaker 2 (02:49:28):
Hurt Flood a lion drive hit or d a two
