Speaker 3 (03:16):
Nine before this ball game got underway.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Let's pause for a station identification. This is the Washington
Senators Baseball Network.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
W w g C, A, m N f N Washington.
Where'd you get it at? Jack i'm Atucci Chevy say
where the acts is on everything from Vegas to events,
Jack Amatucci Chevrolet. Here's Milroad in Georgia Avenue with Wheaton.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Right handed. Dick Bosman coming in from the bullpen where
he was warming up, brings a twelve and sixteen record
into the night's game. This is his thirty fifth start
of the year. He has seven completions an earned run
average of three point six y one in two hundred
and thirty one and two thirds innings. He's allowed two

(05:31):
hundred thirty seven hits, walked sixty nine, struck out one
hundred and ten, served up twenty six home run pitches,
allowed one hundred and five runs, ninety three of which
were earned, and as we mentioned, his era is three
point six y one. So Boz will try and wind
up the Major League baseball season at least for nineteen

(05:56):
seventy one, hopefully not forever, but be that as it may.
Bosman gets the assignment tonight. He is backed up defensively
by Frank Howard at first, Tom Ragland at second, Toby
Harrah at short, Dave Nelson at third. Jeff Burrows is

(06:21):
in left field, Elliot Madison center, and Dell Unzer isn't right.
Rich Billings is doing the catching now. Bobby Mercer, who
still has an outside chance at winning the American League
batting title, is in the leadoff spot for New York tonight,
and that is simply to give Bobby as many at

(06:41):
bats as possible in the final game of the nineteen
seventy one season. The crowd is still coming in. As
we mentioned, there are probably between ten and fifteen thousand
people here tonight, fitting their farewell to major league based
ball in Washington. As Mercer stands in, it's our pleasure

(07:06):
to call it a broadcasting partner Tony Roberts, Tony, thank you, Ryaning,
good evening everybody. Bobby Mercer, left handed hitter, takes the
first pitch, lull a ball. I don't know. Jim Oordom
is the plate umpire, and I enough Jim spent a
good deal of his early umpiring career in the Texas

(07:28):
League six years. The one all pitch by buys lowered
inside two balls in those flakes. Dave Nelson just off
the grass at third, Tony, I'll leave all lead the
American League ginners free thirty one. It'll take a hot
night for Bobby Merscher to win it all. He's fighting

(07:52):
three free one. I'll leave a three three seven Mercer
three thirty one, a ground file first base side two
and one strike to Bobby Mercer. Marvin Rutman of Baltimore
having a good year three eighteen. He's in the number
three spot in the America League, and he's one of
the features of the latest issue Sports Illustrated. Two balls

(08:18):
of a strike. The young man who plays center field
and can do it all, run it throw, swinging a
fly ball, it beats the center Maddicks going back you
the warning track, He's there he's got it one away.
Mercer gave it a good ride toward left center field,

(08:40):
but Maddick sad role. But it's one down that'll bring
up the switch hitting second basement. Horace Quark composite averages

runs and forty one RBIs as a left handed butter

(09:02):

(27:31):
past rich buildings and back to the screen. It's eving
up a ball and a strike the one to one
by Bisman inside at the letters of breaking ball, it's
two and one. In the National League West, the Giants

(27:57):
have at least a tie, a victory by San Francisco
or lost by Los Angeles, and the Giants are the
division champions. A curveball, cut on and foul one handed
by the battle in the on deck circle. Frank Baker

Josh Bissing on the outside corner. Three balls and two
strengths to Ron Andsen, round at two ninety seven of

Buyers throws, swings and files the ball back into the box.
Seats one strike. Francis fer Meridian, Mississippi wait in thirty

(29:39):
five games of the Yankees last year, spent most of
his time at Syracuse. There's the O one pitch breaking
ball is lowered inside one on one as Baker bluffs
the bot. Dave Nelson charges in from third, one ball,
one strike, one out, nobody on Yankees, two Senators nothing.

(30:03):
We're in the second lot of breaking pitch. Swing at him,
miss one and two to Frank Baker. The Yankee shortstop
wet a good crowd on hand tonight for the finale.
The one two pitches inside of the knees, two balls

(30:25):
and two strikes. The empriseman is not a very fast worker.
The two to two pitch breaking ball, two low three

(30:46):
and two. Senator right ender has great attachment to Washington
three balls, two strikes. The Baker five'sman throws inside and
lower ball four. So there's the first base on balls

(31:08):
giving up by a dick flashman. And that's gonna bring
up the picture of Mike Packets tickets throwers left. That's
in the right side. It will be at first base
holding the run. A close and body mercer who's leading
off tonight in an attempt to come up with a

(31:30):
hot night and capture the eighth a batting title in
the American League will be next, throw to first base
Baker with a short lead, a bunt PopEd file by
tickets first base side once right, Baker is stolen three

(31:58):
bases in three attempts. Joe balls at a strike. Dave
Nelson moves in now on the grass at third, fires
at the belt, froze low and inside one on one.

(32:19):
Say this, Bizman's not missing by much. He's run around
home play Tommy Ragland at second base, some limber up catasthenics,
curve ball bunted back toward them. I Fizman picks it
up towards the Rags at second. Factors had it two

(32:41):
way pitcher Bisman won to the second baseman Raglan covering
four and now here's Bobby Mercer. Bobby came into the
ballgame in in three thirty one twenty five double, six triples,
twenty four home runs and ninety two rbis's. He had
a pretty good shout out toward left center, but Maddick

(33:02):
sad Roman maybe catch Mercer came into the concast Reddy
Tony Oliva by six points in the American League botting race.
Oliva hitting three thirty seven, Mercer three thirty one, Ronobert

(33:26):
second is Frank Baker, two outs, five and Froze. There's
a strike in the outside corner at a show and
one with Mercer on left handled hitter the infield and
outfield pulled a round to the right. Raglan and Howard
deep at second and first, no balls, one strike, Mercer

(34:00):
back in again. Bosman nods at the belt, checks the
under Baker at second and throw one outside one on
one now of Bobby Mercer. Felt like Mickey Metal. He

(34:24):
started as a shortstop to move the center field, become
a very fine defensive oyefielder. Bosman ready the one one
pitch currve ball that keep the right center going back
as Unswer going back as Madic today on a home

(34:47):
run into the eighth right center for Bobby Mercer and
the Yankees now leading four and of him. And that's
home run number twenty eight, giving up five Dick flivesmen
this year. Oh, Bobby Mercer, there's twenty fifth homer. RNBI

(35:07):
is ninety three and ninety four. Again the Yankees come
up with a long ball after two outs, and that'll
bring a pest park the Yankee second baseman was thrown
off the Tom Ragman the first time out. Bobby Mercer

(35:30):
now one for two, swinging the ground ball a second
take it on the second half, Ragman over to Frank
Howard and that retires aside. But again the damage is done.
This time the Yankees got a pair of runs on
one hit, no errors, Nobody left, and after two and

(35:51):
a half they aren't four the settators nothing.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Many kids in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia
are not as fortunate as perhaps your kids are, my
kids are. They don't have the security, the comfort of
knowing when their next meal will be, or even the
luxury of having a change of clothing. And to help
meet the needs of so many people, WWDC is once
again sponsoring our Clothing Kid campaign for the upcoming school year.

(36:32):
If you have any usable clothing for school a youngsters,

five home runs and twenty five ibis the pitch by
Mike Tecketts breaking boss strike going one or your station break,

(37:36):
get it to you as soon as we can. Dave
Nelson will follow and then Dell Anser swing and I
miss no balls and two strikes. Yankees nine four runs
on four hits. Senator's no runs and one hit. The

(37:59):
Yankee lefty fires hide inside one two, one ball, two
strikes to Jeff Burrows. Let a curve get high in

(38:21):
the air to shortstop Frank Baker says, you'll take it
just on the edge of the outfield grass and makes
the catch on the way. Barrow's pumps out to Frank Baker,
and that's gonna bring up third baseman Dave Nelson. Nelson
bowning two seventy seven, eleven doubles, three triples, five homers

(38:43):
and thirty three RBIs laying the ground ball in the
hall in the left field. The base ship a shot
between third and short and David Nelson has a single
hit number two or tecas Let's pause air for station identification.

(39:03):
This is the Washington Senator's Baseball.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
Network WWDC AMN FM, Washington. Where'd you get it at
Jack Imatucci Chevy City, where the action is on everything
from Vegas to events Jack Imatucci Chevrolet. There is no
road in Georgia Avenue with Wheaton.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Here gal after the Senator's right fielder Till fifty six
hitter nineteen dollars, six triples, nine homers, thirty nine ibis
announcon with a short leaved dall tried to bunt them

(39:46):
all file tips at Derman Mountson can't hold onto it
at at strike one. Dave Nelson has sixteen s total
bases in twenty four attempts. He tops the Senators in
that category. Davis come on strong in the base hitting
department late in the season. And the pitch too high.

(40:12):
It's the ball one and one. Hansen in on the
grass at third, Baker at short, Clark at second, poise
for a double play round ball. The Yankees have one
and the pitch hit high in the air down the
right field line. It's curving towards the stands and it's

(40:35):
going to be a foul ball. Rusty Tory is giving
Chase one ball and two strikes. The dell answers the
Yankee double play. Was there one hundred and fifty fifth
of the year. They pulled off three in last night's victory.

(41:02):
Uns are hitting your left side closed dance. Nuncon leads
it first. Yankees leading four row keck it side arms
offside two and two. The dell answer, Bobbie Mercer shaded
torn left center and left you the royal white, not

(41:24):
too deep and left kick it chat the belt. The
two to two pitch a bonder back of the mind,
take it to Baker, who'll drop the ball. The floor
was long of the Fred Bay side a second and
Baker had to reach over and he dropped the ball.

(41:44):
They're giving an error to the shortstop. That'll bring up
Tom Raglan, the rookie second basement of the Senators. Rags

(42:05):
fanning one fifty eight, three hits, nineteen at bats, and
the pitch inside of all. It'll be followed by a pitcher,
Nick Basman, so the Senators have two on one out.

(42:30):
They fastened in the second as they did. In the
first a strike on the outside corner. Raglan was sent down,
but he came on very strong at the end of
spring training. Was getting a lot of key hits. A
barrow on a strike, swinging a filback at us. Now

(42:52):
one and two, Raglan has what manager Ted Williams called,
He'll hang right in there and battle you all the way.
Dave Nilton at second, then answer over at first. Mike

(43:14):
Keketts looks into Tormon Munson Yankees with a four run
leave the senator. Second to pitch on the way overhand
fastball is file back and it's one and two to Tommy.
Raglan have a right hander warming a four. The senators

line drive. One Hafer put the short stop covering the
left fail counts him running. Curt He's gonna store and
the throwers goes in the short stop get past ms
kicked up by a third baseman, Ron Hanson, another heir

(43:57):

the outfield, Nick Bosman is trotting toward a plate and
let us see if he will hit it. No RBI

step three one on the play, three up, three downs,

Speaker 11 (01:02:01):
If you go to Europe this summer, don't agree to
bring back a little stash for your friends, and they
have to wait a long time for it.

Speaker 12 (01:02:10):
We had some hash and five narcotics agents came in
and swinging guns around and hollering at everybody and telling
everybody have to move or they'd shoot them.

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
How long did they keep you?

Speaker 12 (01:02:24):
We were held for about three days, give or take
a few hours. What was it like being dragged around
and shoved around up against the wall, and you know,
for no reason at all. We hadn't heard anybody or
done anything to anyone. A lot of people think drugs
are free and easy in other countries. More than five

(01:02:45):
hundred young Americans just like you know how it really is.
They're counting the days in jails all over the world,
wishing they'd gotten high on sight seeing.

Speaker 11 (01:02:55):
If you get out of the country this year, don't buy,
don't sell, come.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
Back on time. In the Senator half of the Port
Rich Buildings, Jeff Burrows and Davy Nelson Buildings hit into

(01:03:20):
a five four three double play, one of two pulled
off by the Yankees in this game. They had free
last night, so Here's Buildings came into the game hitting
two forty one tickets, running the first pitch on the

(01:03:41):
way let up curve too low ball one. White Sox
beating Milwaukee this afternoon two to one. California shaded Minnesota
three two. They've got a pair of big wins in
the National League Tonight, fastball cutout hitting the hall left
field of as Hat and Bunting's cut up with the
lead off singles between Ron Hanson and Frank Baker. It's

(01:04:04):
picked up by Roy White and falling into Horace Clark.
They hit numbered three off Mike Keckics, a slow tatlizing
waller Hanson going to his left. Baker that was right.
Neither one could flag it down, and then he'll bring
up Jeff Burrows. Burrows averages dropped to two thirty two.

(01:04:27):
He's in a slump. He popped it short the first
time up takes a strike at its own one. Yankees
lead at four to one. We're in the bottom of
the fourth. The pitchpike kackache at it's high. One on one.
Burrows will be followed by third baseman Dave Nelson and

(01:04:51):
then right fielder jell Ancer jacket sets then step off.
The bubber grabs the Rossen bag Alis on the back
at first holding buildings close the rest of the Yankee
infield of double play death. The pitch on the way

(01:05:13):
hit teeth the left booing bang big, tied at the wall.
He tied at the wall. Burrows gave it a good ride,
but Roy White went back to the wall and made
the catch. In that game, our engineer, Fitch, he's got
Burrows as the senator to hit the last home run.

(01:05:38):
We tried, Tommy, We tried Burrows, gave it a shot,
didn't get onto it enough and right Roy White, with
his back to the fench, made the playing and just
went away. There's Dave Nelson to single the left. The
first time up bluffs the bunt, bruns up on the ball.

(01:05:59):
It's taken for all. Ron Hanson comes in from third.
Now Jim oden To played umpire, wants to look at
the baseball. Jim said he spent six years as an
umpire in the various leagues in Texas. Said it gets

(01:06:20):
mndy hotter around the Dallas area, but it's not as
bad as when you play around Ginston. Before the after
the swing, flyball on the right for your line. Stay
Fair hits a fireball fire by about a foot in
a half, bomped into the stands. One ball in one strike.

(01:06:49):
Nunson has eleven to two bay since David like to
get that average up right around two to eighty game
into the game, hitting two seventy seven are your station break?
Get it to you one week? Can the pittsa Davy
takes it two balls and one strike. Band would like

(01:07:14):

(01:09:32):
of steps of third base. One ball, two strikes, the
dell answers Senators trail four to one. Bottom of the

made a fine catch. Two two two outs. Buildings comes

(01:10:25):
back to first base. We are having Western Union ticker
trouble tonight. The two to two pitchs let up hit
in the right field. No trouble for rusty Tories in
short right makes the gatch and that retires aside none

(01:10:50):
so read off single waist in one hip, No errands
on the man left after four Yankees, four Senators, one shafer,

(01:11:14):
one bearer.

Speaker 2 (01:11:26):
Say don't just believe it when they say Shaffer has
flavor that never fades. Have a couple of tall, frosty
cold glasses and see for yourself. You'll find that first
cold Shaffer tastes great, but it's the second glass and
the third that will really make you a believer. They'll
show you how Shafer stays consistently bright and rewarding glass
after glass, and that's when you'll want to switch to Shaffer,

(01:11:50):
because Schafer is the one deer to have shaperl.

Speaker 1 (01:12:10):
The Yankees will send up second basement horse Clark, right
field the Rusty Tories and left fielder Royal White to
face Dick Bisman for the first time in the game.
The fourth inning Boys set the Yankees down one, two, three.

(01:12:30):
Dick was having some control problems for the first three innings.
Clark twice bounced out the second baseman, Tom Raglan, and
the pitch a strike on one, no balls, one strike

(01:12:55):
basman delivery, a bonder passed them on one, rags In
on the second, high third or first to Howard good
stretch and he's out. Clark retired four to three on
the play for the third time. Tonight. Tom Ragman makes
the play on Horace Clark. Here's Rusty Tor's came into

(01:13:18):
the game hitting three sixty four homerd the first time up,
single to right and ning number three, so he's now
two for two hitting from the left side. He now
has ten hits in twenty four at bats. The picture

(01:13:42):
strike called on one one out nobody on Yankees four
or five and two. Senators won three at zero, and
the pitch inside dances away one and one Maddix over
toward right center Roy White beyond deck Hitterer. Fosman is

(01:14:13):
now retired six in a row. The pitch is lowing
outside the ball two and one the Rusty Tories Frank
Howard standing in the outfield Grass now moves in a
stuff for two at first base. Raglings keep at second
and the two to one smashed fowl lash Frank Howard
down the line. Two balls, two strikes, one out the

(01:14:42):
Yankee fifth. Yanser one game above five hundred. They won
eighty one and dropped eighty and the two to two
is inside of the knees full come free balls two strikes.
Yankees will wind up in fourth place Baltimore of the

(01:15:05):
champions Tigers second, Red Sox there at Yanks fourth. Senators
will be fifth and the Indians. Last Fisman's bull catch
whatever he curve pomp back right over our head and

(01:15:26):
somebody made the catch. The ball that were came back
down three and two. The Rusty Tories Fizman's unning the
pitch on the way high in the air behind the

(01:15:48):
plane buildings back. He's gotta play and makes it fine
and play by building as Tori spiles out to the
Senator catchers two away down, there's Royal White double the left,
scored in the first by Johnny Jellifer single and walked
in the third. Yankee ifield could be very potent next year.

(01:16:22):
Toys Mercer White with two way. The pitch had jeeped
the right way back Concert to defense. It is pawn
another home run. White really put the one to that pitch.

(01:16:44):
That's the twenty ninth home run ball served up five
fivesman this year and the third of this game, and
the Yankees made it five to one. Gary's armored Mercer's
armored way White is homer of the sixth Hins govern

(01:17:08):
up five Biseman four have been for extra basis. Three
homers in a double. It pits to Johnny Ellis one
strike all one of the Yankee first baseman, five deliveries

(01:17:31):
outside the ball, one ball, one strike. Wiseman have retired
seven in a row, and then White teed off sent
the ball over the right field fence a boxer between
third and short. Nelson dies four told me her I
can't flag it down. Finally picked up by Jeff Burrows

(01:17:54):
and left field and going into time Raglan and Johnny
Ellis as his second hend of the night. He's been
up three times and on all three pair of singles,
and he was hit by a pitch. They's hit number
seven off Jick Wiseman. That'll bring up to catch at

(01:18:15):
Thurman Munson up twice and twice a strike out victim.
Yankees now have five runs and seven hitch quaking ball
lower outside at It's one and zero and Dennis Dale
McLain is up and throwing again in the center of

(01:18:37):
the bullpen and left center. Now McLain has been replaced
by it looks like Pena from here. The pitcher ball
that's one and one added is Horatio Penia. One ball,
one strake to catch at Thurman Munson. Yankees again with

(01:19:02):
a four run lead, five to one, five sets and
the pitch fastball too low. Two balls and a strike.
How's the cake run delicious? Tony Mike Doan, one of
the supervisors of ushers here, had his wife baker, just

(01:19:25):
a fantastic chocolate cake for us, and we really appreciate it.
You sure do run the two to one popped up
behind the plate. Pilling's coming back, no play. Two balls,
two strikes. Have to say this run for the folks
here at RFK got some pretty good bakers in our

(01:19:49):
midst during the season. I'll guarantee you that's true. Two balls,
two strikes to Munson, ad us over first base, very
short lead. He's tried to steal one base and he's
been nabbed. Takes two steps away from the bag. I

(01:20:13):
would close at first lisping at the belt, checks the
run of the two to two. It passed the mine
of the center fielder of the base hit, John Ellis
will stop a second that's not ex fixed. The ball
up gets it back into Toby Era hit up the middle.

(01:20:33):
That's the third strade hit after two hours. They hitting
number eight for the Yankees, and that will bring up
short rather third baseman Ryn answered. Ryn Is gone down
swinging and fly to center. Larry crim center of thirst

(01:20:55):
pack two hours two on to run on. Bosman at
the belt, checks the runners side on inside at the letters,
and Hanson hashed to back off the plate all one.
Penia continues to throw in the cenator bolt in. With

(01:21:21):
the bottom of the order coming up, we'll get a
pinch at her for Dick Bosman more than likely check swing.
The pitch is lower outside and it's ball too to
Ron Hansen. Yankees have scored five times. Four of those

(01:21:43):
five runs the result of Homers solo shots by Toy's
white on a two run over by Bobby Mercer fire
ball the third. Nunson goes the second for the force
and that retires aside. They get a run right it
four no errors and a pair left a after four

(01:22:07):
and a half. Yankees five senators won.

get him. Thank you very much, Tony and high again.
Everybody a big crowd on hand for the final ball

on an error by shortstop Frank Baker his only time up.
Mike kecktch left hander gunning for his eleventh went on

Washington Senator's pitcher to register a victory in American League history.

(01:24:29):

Tommy Raglan leads off the last of the fifth inning
with a boop single to center field, and now Paul
Casanova will pinch it for Dick Bosman. Chazzi gets a

(01:25:33):
big hand from the crowd here as he makes his
final appearance as a Washington Senator. Kazzie's batting average two
O three has five omers, nine doubles at triple and
twenty six runs batted. In the Senator's trail five to one.

(01:25:55):
The Yankees have five runs on eight hits, the Senator's
one on four. The pitches inside ball one. When you
speak of Senator second baseman. The name of Fucky Harris
comes to mind, the boy manager who led the Senators
to their only world championship in history, the year nineteen

(01:26:15):
twenty four. Short stops well. Roger Peckinbaul was a good one.
Joe Cronin, perhaps even more famous, pitches inside ball two
to Kazie two balls and those strikes, and the outfield
Sam Rice Goose Goslin, both members of the Hall of Fame.

(01:26:39):
And Frank Howard, who has given the fans here so
many drills the last seven years. The pitch is high
ball three, three and zero. Casanova pinshitting for Dick Bosman,
Tom Ragland at first as a result of a single

(01:26:59):
to center field, Rags takes his leave. Keckach watches him
with three O de Kazi curve his high fall. Four
Senators at first and second with nobody out. That's the

(01:27:19):
second walk issued by Mike Keckitch in the game tonight.
When you look around and see this vast crowd, there's
no doubt in my mind that Washington is a great
sports down. Here's Elliot Maddocks. Maddocks is grounded out short

(01:27:49):
to first and fly to center. The pitch is in
for a strike. Washington is one old three pennants in
the American League nineteen twenty four, nineteen twenty five, and
nineteen thirty three. They haven't been in the first division

(01:28:09):
since nineteen forty six, and yet the fans over the
years have come out supporting a ball club that many
times was last in the American League. Go on strike
pitch a curb has grounded, foul down the third Bay side,
two strikes on, Elliott Maddocks. Bill Shannon, who works in

(01:28:32):
the public relations department of Madison Square Garden and a
good friend of former Senator broadcaster Bob Woltz, is in
attendance tonight. He feels very badly about the nation's capital
losing its baseball team. The two strike pick, the two

(01:28:53):
strike pick. There's a chopper fowl down the third day
side again down holding a two strikes on, Elliott. I
think sooner or later baseball is going to discover that
they're going to have to promote and build up, not

(01:29:15):
run out of town. The two strikes pitch swung on
and foul back. You can't keep running forever. You've got
to build this great game up. There's no finer sports
in baseball, and there's no finer fans, and those in
Washington the American League club owners took the cowards way out,

(01:29:37):
and now there's no baseball team for the time being,
but maybe someday soon there will be two strikes on
Elliott Mattock. The Runners lead from first and second. They
kicking the pick. There's a five ball hit the right field,
cracking up on a rusty Cory Cory's under a take
of the Cats. Tagging up a second and advancing to

(01:29:58):
third is Tom Ragling. The Senators at Paul Kapanov at first,
Tom Raglan at third and one away. Where is Toby Harrah?

(01:30:23):
He beat out an infield single, a short and he
fouled out the first Statesman, John Ellen one out. Runners
on the corners. They're kicking the pitch, rowing inside ball
one one ball of notes drips on Toby Harrah. The

(01:31:02):
Senator's trail at five to one. Check at Rocks and
fires the fast ball hit up the middle. They talked
top flat, Baker stepped from the back clos the first
bubble play and the inning is over. The Senator's threatened,
but they do not score. They come up with no
runs on one hit. Nors and one man left and
the store after five New York five and the Senator's walk.

Speaker 2 (01:31:26):

Matamorris Mako are shopenor one strike pitch coming a curve

seven hundred their next to last game. They swelled that
figure tow one thousand yesterday. But they're the champion to
the West and they're still in the American League. That
just swung on him. It's like two, two and two,

(01:34:05):
two balls and two strikes on shortstop Frank Baker. Penia
fires fastball five back to the screen, count holding it
two and two those two. When you look around, both
in the American and National League, there are many cities

(01:34:25):
less deserving of major League Baseball than the Nation's capital.
The two two picks one aims strike three are these
Penia strikes bat the first Yankee faces in the sixth inning,

up at least five minutes by a standing ovation.

There's a Crown bottle.

Speaker 1 (01:45:05):
I thought another pace there killing fuck that fucking Burrows
at first and our runners at first and fucking with
nobody out of the sixth sinning. And I believe there's

(01:45:33):
going to be a pitching change right here. The Yankees
are going to make a change and remove my checket
from the ball game. I will just have to wait

(01:46:07):

the White Sox beat the Brewers to to one, California
Minnesota three to two. The night after four, the Pirates
lead of Phillies four to three, and after one no

look at these records beg. Jack Anchor is making his
fifty fourth apearing of the air. He's won four once
Termber four, and he has a couple of fourth games

(01:46:49):
of his credit, even up seventeen rounds, fifteen of which
have been earning couple of forty four hits. March twenty five,
struck out twenty three, go on the home run ball
three times, and he hasn't earned one average of two
points five five. The right hander Jack Anchor on the

bottom placing Mike Techts and the Senators are runners a
first and second and the score five to two has
a trying run at all played in the person of
Dad Nelson if he can come too with a big

(01:47:56):
baseball radio network and what the contraction involved when you
decide to do Major League Baseball, what it entails from
your sales department, time, energy, et cetera. Because we feel
that already RADIOSNA and television shure's going to take it

(01:48:16):

so we'd like to enlighten the people of Washington also
what it really takes. So both Scatter will be a

four hundred feet away. As got I was having a

(02:08:04):
pretty good rise. What the young of a double putting
good out in order not to put her house, let
the put her five in New York five.

Speaker 15 (02:08:16):
A child's life is very precious. Thousands of children in Maryland, Virginia,
and the District of Columbia had life threatening kidney disease.
But then we were in her first grade in the fall.
She was almost two when she became desperately all with
a serious kidney elment. Kry Harvey is seven. When she

(02:08:36):
was four, Terry had a diseased kidney relieved at Georgetown
University Hospital. Margaret Rockman and her parents live in Fairfax.
Margaret was sixteen and she received a kidney transplant from
her mother. She's eighteen now and making plans for college.
Three children of kidney disease, all have been helped, but

(02:08:59):
left as the future hold for the many other little
ones in our community who are stricken with kidney disease.
Maybe protect your children by calling the Kidney Foundation for
further information. The number is three three three three five
five six. A child's life is very precious.

Speaker 1 (02:09:27):
We go to the last of seventh penning and the
fans have stored for the seven penning spretch. The official
attendance is not going to announce tonight, but it's a
large Jennison enthusiastic crowd getting fall all the Major League
Baseball of the nation's capital, hopefully only for the prime

(02:09:50):
being Bobby Hower. A single, a short found after first
and Browning North the first double play. Acre throws outside
ball one. Somebody things pays at the stadium. The picture

(02:10:14):
just rung on the nest. It's one ball in one strike.
Jack Acre getting the sign. Right hander fires, there's a
ground foul over the ward. The Yankee dugout down one

(02:10:36):
ball and two strikes on Toby on deck Frank Coward
and you can sense the crowd waiting to react again
to the big guy. Toby hits one in the short
left field, coming in on the ball as Roy White,

(02:10:57):
he's under it, makes a catch and before Hondo stands in,
let's pause for Stason and have a vocation. This a
Lockington Senators Baseball.

Speaker 2 (02:11:08):
Network, WWDC, A M and FM Washington. Where'd you get
it at? Jack Imatuci Chevy City where the actually is
on everything from Vegas events, Jack i'm Azuchi cheval ad
there is no road in Georgia avenue in Whiki.

Speaker 1 (02:11:27):
If you can't hear our voice, it's because of tennis.
Tremendous for Hondo. A curve is in for the strife.
Hondo crashed his twenty six palm run off the left
field wall his last time off rounds one found on
the first base side, grabbed by Nelly Fox and the

(02:11:51):
count is two strike. I'd like to take us opportunities bank.
All the members of Washington said, there's whether a tremendous
cooperation over the last three years. But DU's picks the Howard.
There's a chopper down the third base side, Fowl down,
holding it too stripe. Here's pich the Howard. There's a

(02:12:14):
chopper down the third bay slide. Fowl down, holding it
too stripe. Tremendous bunch of guys. You'll miss them all
very much. The beast like fish. There's a high pop

(02:12:36):
up doctor Thurman Munson drifting under the top or he
makes the catch, and Hondo has fouled out the Terman Monsons.
But the big guy who's gonna get a hand, this
is his knife and he can do no wrong. He

(02:12:57):
can study again. Coming down all over the field. The
batter is Rich Billings. Aker fires a curve into the strike.

(02:13:18):
It's five to five. We're in the last of seven.
The Senators are out hit New York nine to eight,
and they tied it up with four runs in the
sixth sinning. There's a ground bow the holding up field
for they said past third baseman Ron Hanson and shortstop

(02:13:39):
Frank Baker. So Rich Billings gets a two out single
to left and Jeff Burrows is the hitter. The pitches

(02:14:09):
a curve into the strike. There's a chopper down the
third day side, Ron Hansen Guney saw the first just

(02:14:30):
in time to get pearls for the final out. The
Senators and the seventh penning come up with no runs
on one hit, no errors of the man left, and
after seven Senators five New York five, we go to

(02:15:21):
the Eighthentic Paul, I'm glad taking is one of coffee.

(02:15:53):
Wendy will be facing Herman Munson, Ron Aston and Frank Baker,
who the night's attendance has just been announced at fourteen thousand,

(02:16:13):
four hundred and sixty and the reason for the delay
is the fans have come out on the field to

(02:16:38):
shake hands with the Senator ball players and I hope
they'll leave the field of play so we can resume
this final game here at RFK Stadium for the moment

(02:17:01):
the Empires have cleared the field. When the field is cleared,
play will resolve. I'm afraid of how people pays off

(02:18:00):
that there could be some repetitions there and the Senators constantly,
I don't know if it's for that constantly couldn't worfit
the ball game. That's exactly right. The home team is
responsible for keeping order at the ballguard. Now the fans
have not been unruly, but a number of them have

(02:18:21):
come on the field to try and shake hands with
the Senators, and there's no way we can resume the
game unless they do stay in their seats and show
their appreciation to these ballplayers by cheering as loudly as
they can for the club as they perform on the field.
Now I'm playing King Jim Honichik has gone to the

(02:18:42):
Yankee gug out and he was greeted there by manager
Ralph Popp for the free umpires or Donald de Niro
and played ONWN fire otum are around home plate, and
I guarantee you New Year's Eve was heaving like this
in Washington.

Speaker 4 (02:19:04):
You might add a lot more people there on opening game,
but they weren't more.

Speaker 1 (02:19:08):
To my from them than they probably have the night. Now,
these Senators are being way fast down in a fail. Well,

(02:19:30):
there are fourteen thousand, four hundred and sixty petting farewell
to the Washington Senator. We hope it's not goodbye. We
hope it's just a free so long and then another
major league team will be here in the nation's capital,

(02:19:53):
hopefully a team that someday can give defends that long
awaited tennant that they have patiently waited for Paul in
Blad again taking his warm up tosses. Here's the situation.
We're in the eighth pinning. The Yankees will send Erman Munson,

(02:20:17):
Ron Hansen, and Frank Baker against left handed Paul in Glad.
The field is literally covered with paper. The outfield looks
as though it's been snowing. Fans of torn up paper tossed.

Speaker 5 (02:20:36):
It in the air.

Speaker 1 (02:20:38):
Gave a tremendously wild demonstration for Frank Howard as he
unloaded his twenty six Paul run. His start of four
uprising in the sixth pinning, Munson is won for three
Lindy fires a fastball too low ball one. Munson has
struck out twice, and he single to center his last

(02:21:01):
time up. The pitch from Paul in Blad is low ball,
too nice to have. Brick La Falls visiting tonight witnessing
the final game in Washington, two balls and those strips.
The pitch to Mumpson, he punched down the third base line,

(02:21:22):
let me open out quickly picks the ball up post
the first off balance, not in time. It's a fun
single for Thurman Mumpson, who can really fly even though
he's a catcher. He has excellent speed and he just
proved it by beating out the punt down the third
base side. Furman is at first with nobody out of

(02:21:46):
the Yankee eighth in this five to five game, and
here is Ron Hanson. Answer has struck out by the
center and it enjoy a third to second force. So Ron,
who came in hitting two thirteen, is zero three. He

(02:22:08):
squares the bunt, takes a pitch inside ball one. Howard
was charging from third, Dave Nelson was charging from third.
Five runs, tenants for the Senators, five runs, nine hits

(02:22:29):
and three airs for New York. The bun again, he
misses it, and it's one and one. So Hanson right
now is trying to sacrifice Munson in the scoring position.
Here in the eighth pennant. The pitches in for strike two,

(02:23:00):
t one and two. Again Hansen squared defunt, laid off
the pitch, but it was in the strike zone, catching
the inside corner. One ball and two strikes on Ron
Hanson with German monster at first and nobody out of
the Yankee, the one two coming lion driving the left

(02:23:26):
field side, cribbing foul. It hooked foul, as Hanson told
it too much and the count remains one ball and
two strikes. The one two coming swung on and fouled

(02:24:01):
count holding it one and two on Hanson with Frank
Baker on deck. Now Gene Michael has moved into the
on deck circle and he will be pinchitting for Baker.

(02:24:26):
The one two pitch, there's a ground bonus short told
me up and it goes the second to one right.

Speaker 4 (02:24:31):
As we lay ten times for a double play.

Speaker 1 (02:24:38):
Toby Harald and Tom Ragland to Frank Howards and they're
now two outs with nobody on and Geene Michael the
batter that is the center and five and sixty halves
of the year. I Baker is a switch hitter, or

(02:25:10):
Michael rather as a switch hitter batting right hand against
a left hander. Lynblad pitches outside ball one. Gene is
betting two twenty four as a left hander betting two
twenty six is a right hander two twenty two. The
pitch is in the strike. It's one and one. Jack

(02:25:37):
Acer the next scheduled batter, but Felip Belou has moved
into the on deck circle. The one one coming swung
on and out back down is one ball and two
strike one ball in two stripes on Gene Michael batting,

(02:26:06):
the two outs and nobody on. Lynn Blad shakes off
one sign from which Billings has the one he wants
the one two on the way outside ball two. Want
to thank Bert Hawkins for all his tremendous cooperation the
very personable road secretary and press relations officer. Two two

(02:26:31):
bitch a ground ball hit toward the hole, cut off
nicely by Davy Neilson pros the first in time. The
Yankees are retired in the eighth Pennick. They come up
with no runs on one hit, no errors, and nobody left,
and the score after seven and a half Senator's five.
In New York five, we go to the bottom of

(02:26:59):
the eighth inning. The Senators are facing belief pitcher Jack Acre,
who has been brilliant since we're leaving starter Mike Kickings.
The score is five to five as the Senators have
five runs, ten hits, and no errors. New York five runs,
nine hits and three errors. Before Dave Nelson was set

(02:27:33):
to stand in, apparently came up with some dirt in
his eye. Trainer Bill Ziegler out there now administering to him,
trying to get the speck of dirt out of his eye.
Davy said he's all right and stands in against Jack Acre.
We're in the bottom of the eighth cente five to five.

(02:27:54):
The score Aker has a sign from Munson. The pitch
is a curve inside Paul Walk. Ron Hanson at thirty
is guarding the line against a possible extra base hit.
Jeene michael is at short in place of Frank Baker,

(02:28:15):
who started the one always swung on a nest one
ball in one strike. Harris Park's at second, John ellis
at first, Roy Whiton left, Bobby Mercer and center and
Rusty Torris and right field. The one one on the way.
There's a ground ball sharply hit.

Speaker 2 (02:28:33):
Off the arm of.

Speaker 1 (02:28:34):
Jane michael on in the center field. Nelson takes a
wide turn. It's going to be an arrow on Gene
michael So let's see if it's a costly error as
Davy Nelson, with feed to Burn is at first with

(02:28:55):
nobody out five to five to score the tie breaking
runs at first base, del Uncer. The battery is a

(02:29:15):
good butter. The Yankees are looking for the bunch. Acre
delivers deal bunks by the first base on it rolls foul,
grabbed there by John Ellison hand it back to Jackacre
as months in the catcher. Acre, the pitcher and Ellis
the first basement, all converged on the bunt and grabbed
it as it rolled fowl about fifteen feet down the line.

(02:29:40):
One strike to dell answer, now let's see if the
bunt's still on, whether this time he'll swing away. Uncers
reached on an error, glied to right and grounded out.
Pictured the first driving in a run. In the sixth,

(02:30:01):
one strike, pitch is high. One ball in one strike again,
Ellis and Hanson charging from first and third, going the
first almost the wide throw, and John Ellis straddles Dave

(02:30:22):
Nelson's gliding back in one ball in one's drip. It's
five to five were in the last three eight the drama.
The tension had been great. Nelson breaks for a second.

(02:30:45):
Unser Crosy's pack the ball and Nelson has just torn
sucking bait. That time till Unswer to protect the runner.
Rui's got at the ball and the throw from Furman
Munson was off the ball and Nelly, who leads the
crumb and stolen faces with sixteen, has just pilfered number seventeen.

(02:31:08):
He's the tie breaking run and in the last of
the eighth finning it could well be the winning run.
John balling Ker strikes the balancer Aker at the belt
rocks and fires swing on in this drake three. He

(02:31:31):
got him in a sidearmim pitch on the outside corner.
Here's Tom Ridman Paul Lynn Blader's schedule at back. Next
we may see a pitch hitter for him, while we
just have to wait and see. Lindy is a pretty

(02:31:52):
good hitting picture. One out, one on Nelson at second
in a five to five ball game, Raglan has won
for three. He takes a pitch outside corners strike one.

(02:32:14):
He reached on an error by the shortstop. Single to
center was called out on strike Akers druck him out
in the sixth center. The one strike pitch going outside.
It's one and one. Bobby Mercer now coming in, playing

(02:32:43):
a very shallow center field. Now Bobby is retrieving a
ball from the bullpen. One ball in, one strike on

(02:33:09):
Tom Ragman. Dave Nelson is at second and there's one
out the good the belt, the one one coming. Here's
a ground ball to third bable by Ron Hanson. Picks
it up. That's no place, that's what ball is. HiT's

(02:33:40):
an error on Ron Hanson and it's the fifth era
tonight committed by the Yankees. I believe the Yankees are
more unnerved by this ball game than the Senators are.
Runners at first and second with one out, and Tom

(02:34:01):
McCall will pinch it for Paul in glad Tony Am
I wrong in my guess that the first time McCall

(02:34:21):
was a picture of this year at a home run,
and I think it won the ball game. So this
may be Tom's last appearance in the Senator's uniform. And
wouldn't it be something to be it? One out of
the park. Actually, if base hit would be just beautiful white.
With runners at first and second and one away, Dave

(02:34:54):
Nelson leads second, Tom Raglan leads first, one away. The
pix of mccrawl is outside ball on lacarl left ten.

(02:35:14):
Batter Aker at the belt kicks and fires into the strike.
It's one and one, one ball and one strike on

(02:35:35):
Tom mccrawl. The runners lead from first and second with
one away. Last the eight hunning five to five the store.
Tommy checked the swing justin thim. It's outside ball to
two balls and one strike on Tom mccawll with Elliott
Maddocks on deck, Joe Brisenders arming up in the bullpen.

(02:36:07):
The two one betch have a line, God gonna left
their line, Polly Quickley and Kevey Conny and air a
fall power ball. Milton turn on the plane in time
man time turn a Ford nning come Adan.

Speaker 4 (02:36:22):
Milton has cropped the plank of the go ahead rock.

Speaker 1 (02:36:27):
Racing for the ball of a light build or rusty
by its dry a mat a huge bring pack help
can have terrify. It was sicking on milk tacks.

Speaker 4 (02:36:41):
Milton topped the plate with a quick run.

Speaker 1 (02:36:44):
The sinner is late at six to five and safer
thirds Palm Riley, so the sminers have taken the leave
on a Texas leaguer down the right field line by

(02:37:07):
Tom the brawl Grays did not catch up with it.
First placed up wire. Jacob'donald ruled that he had trapped
the ball and his slow the plate was not in
time to get Dave Nelson tell anyone out. Elliott talks

(02:37:39):
about it. Baker stepped ball order the pitch accurved his
low ball. One runners on the corner, ragling at third

(02:38:05):
but call at first taker stretching and betchy one. Oh
that's a tip for rec pail long rock to try

(02:38:27):
black when I want a track a maxiets Raglan well
More eight wade with a seventh from seven at twe
years later and before coffee you have of that what
car first Bason identification. This is the Washington Senator's Baseball Network.

Speaker 2 (02:38:50):
She w W d C A M N F N Washington.
Where'd you get it at? Jack, I'm Atucci Chevy City
where the action is on everything from Vegas to events. Jack,
I'm at Chichi Chevrolet. There's no road in Georgia Avenue.

Speaker 1 (02:39:02):
Wheken Toby Harrod a batter with Tom mccautt first that
just swung on and missed strike Wanner Ti is one
for four an infield single to short in the first inning.
Then then he found to the first baseman, grounded into

(02:39:25):
a short to first double play and flied the left
one strike on Toby McCall breaked for a second, but
just swung on. The miss during the second is high.
He's on at second base as coming down quickly on
the base runner was Horace Park who put the tag
on the end sliding Tom McCall for the final out
of the inning. Butt. In the eighth inning, the Senators

(02:39:47):
pick up two runs on one hit. There were two
errors and nobody was left the score after eight Senators
seven in New York five. We have a new picture

(02:40:08):
for the Senators coming in as the New York Yankees
come to bat in the top of the ninth inning
trailing seven to five. What a wild and Willie ball
game it's been. The Senators fought at the New York
Yankees of five to one advantage, but roared back with
four in the sixth, two in the eighth, and they

(02:40:28):
now lead it seven to five and Joe Brazende will
try and save it for Paul in Glad. Joe has
been the most pleasant surprise this year. He's five and two,
is appearing in his forty six game of the year.

(02:40:50):
Has worked sixty nine and two thirds innings, allowed, fifty
four hits walked only seventeen and seven rows were intensible
down fifty six. Has given up two homers nineteen runs
fifteen of the mine. Has a sparkling one point nine
three earned run average. Saw a seven to five on

(02:41:19):
seven eleven ozh for Washington five and nine and five
for New York, a pit suitter for the Yankees. For

(02:41:46):
Jack Acre, it's Balik Belo lou Aallou hitting two eighty
six with eight home runs, twenty one doubles, six triples
and sixty nine runs batted in the picture of polific
ground bolus short tow me up in that bottles that

(02:42:08):
picks up throw at the first in time to get
a hold. Good recovery by Toby Harrah, and we are
now two outs away from the conclusion of Major League Baseball.
In the relations Cavaler. Hopefully it won't be too long.

(02:42:31):
The fans have demonstrated their enthusiasm tonight. The batter is
Bobby Mercer, who takes a bitch in for the strike.
Fourteen thousand, four hundred and sixty showed up tonight. The
one strike pitch is outside. One on one, Mercer has

(02:42:54):
applied to center in a two run homer is twenty
fifth of the year. Then he grounded out first to
the picture covering and walked. He swings and missus drake two.
One ball in two strikes on Bobby Mercer. He'll be
the second leading batter in the American League, trailing only

(02:43:16):
the batting champtoni Oleva of the Minnesota Twins. The one
to two coming is outside. It's two and two. Bobby
Mercer batting for the New York Yankees with one out
of nobody on him the ninth bidding the two two

(02:43:38):
from Gazanda went back to Joe. He's he throws the
Tom mccartt first, and there are two outs, and some

(02:44:03):
youngsters are coming out on the field. This will not
be a complete game unless they get back. This will
not be a complete game unless they get back. So
we certainly hope that this ball game can be concluded.
The players now are clearing the field as pandemonium is

(02:44:27):
broken loose and the field is filled with many souvenir hunters.
The Senators league seven to five with two outs. Police
are trying to restore order, but the crowd continues to

(02:44:47):
build all around the field. Some fans are scooping up dirt.
More and more now are converging on the field. The

(02:45:13):
Senators are one out away from victory. The Yankees have
two outs in the top of the night. Fitting realistically
they're a lot closer to the peak because I'll never
get this ball game on their way again. The Vases
aren't gone. There's a performance standing on home played, another

(02:45:37):
one on the mound, and they're very rapidly becoming out numbered.

(02:45:58):
A massive bodies on the field, most of them just
standing there getting a glimpse of RFK Stadium, the site
of Major League Baseball, perhaps for the last time. It
may well be that the Senators will be denied their

(02:46:19):
final victory. Down fans are converging upon the scoreboard and
again the souvenir hunters are trying to get anything from

(02:46:40):
the stadium. They are succeeding, and reinforcements have been called
and hopefully the field will be cleared so we can
get the final out in this historic ball game. Realistically,
Ron and take the national They get him out here,

(02:47:02):
because there won't be much left of the scoreboard break.
An army of ants out there going through the jungle.
They're just shopping away with everything they can get their
hands on. It's a shame they couldn't have waited for
one more out, but they didn't. And now the job

(02:47:26):
at hand is to dry and clear the field so
this ball game can continue. The remainder of the fans
and I don't believe anyone has left this ballpark tonight

(02:47:47):
are watching the activity on the field, but it is
activity every place. The scoreboard has been completely decimated. Nothing remained.
I hope norm Hammer does only what's going on in

(02:48:17):
Normy's mind out there right now for from through New York.
I believe Burt Hawkins has just said that this game
will be forfeited to New York and add well, it's
a strange way to lose a ball game. It's a

(02:48:40):
strange way to wind up major League Baseball in the
Nation's capitol. But I guess it's been a topsy turvy season.
No one believed that there would not be Major League
baseball in the nation's capitol, but it's sad to they're

(02:49:01):
no longer. Is How long major League Baseball will stay
away remains to be seen. The lights flicker here at
RFK Stadium, and as the lights flicker, the hopes of
that long awaited tenant die with the lights. The last

(02:49:26):
tenant nineteen thirty three, the last time the Senators were
in the First Division nineteen forty six. The fans of
Washington over the years have supported ball clubs that never
have measured up on the field to the other clubs

(02:49:46):
in the league. We can only hope that their loyalty
over these many years will be rewarded in the near
future with a new Major League franchise. Baseball is a
great game. It's a game for everyone. But I think

(02:50:07):
maybe George Soussi put it best when he said, Washington
is not the capital of the United States. Washington is
the capital of the world. And can you imagine the
capital of the world not having Major League Baseball ladies

(02:50:28):
and gentlemen. I can only say that it has been
an extreme pleasure broadcasting Senators baseball for the last three years.
I want to thank all of the members of the
Washington Senators, my good friends on the team will have
been so great, so cooperative. I also want to thank

(02:50:52):
the record of all the members of the Senators organization
for their help and cooperation over the years. And Vicky Magny,
the switchboard operator, a real unsung hero who always had
a pleasant word when people called the stadium the game.
Kurt Hawkins and his wonderful secretary Joan Flanagan. Oscar Malamott

(02:51:19):
was a big help. When you take a look at
the loyal people who've worked in the Senator's offices, dedicated
to bringing the best possible service you have to take
your hats off, but I think tonight the fans of
Washington who have suffered so long have to be congratulated

(02:51:43):
for their many years of loyal support. And also I'd
like to thank and you hate to mention names because
there's so many that will be omitted, but I want
to thank George Minett, the outstanding base call writer for
the Washington Post, Merle Whittlesey, the outstanding baseball writer for

(02:52:07):
the Washington Star, Charlie Raymond, the fine young writer who
had only one year of Major League baseball, My good
friend Russ White of the Daily News. You could go
on and on and on thanking everyone. I'd like to
take this opportunity right now to thank my broadcasting partner

(02:52:31):
Tony Roberts. It's been an extreme pleasure working with him
this season, despite the fact we didn't have too many victories,
and ironically we lost one tonight on a forfeit because
the field was completely decimated and the umpires forfeited the

(02:52:51):
game to New York even though the Senators had the
lead seven to five. But Tony's been a lot of
fun working with you, and I hope that our pas
will cross many times in the future and perhaps someday,
real soon we can be broadcasting the games of the
Washington Senators again. Right now, much more I can add
to that. The only thing that was preserved here to

(02:53:14):
night was the rougher on the mound because they came
out and dug it up under police guard. And they're
cutting it off now for the center field area. Rule
four one seven and the rule book says the game
shall be forfeited to the opposing team when a team
is unable or refused to place nine players on the field. Well,

(02:53:35):
the Senators were unable to continue because of the many
fans on the field until this one. We'll go into
the record book as a New York Yankee victory. And
I believe they still have home plate intact. I think
an officer is still standing on home plate right now.

(02:53:57):
Not a hecking lot we can say if my I
certainly enjoyed my one year with you, and just to
echo your settlements, why I hope that we can do
it again sometime and not
