A beautiful day for baseball here in St. Louis, the seventh game of the 1964 World Series. And the ball players put it best when they say we played all season and now today the season really opens. The Yankees who clinked the American League pendant the day before the season ended. The Cardinals who clinked it on the last day now battle here in the seventh game. And it'll be Bob Gibson pitching for the Cardinals. Gibson is warming up down in the left field bullpen and for the Yankees Mel Stadlemire will be the pitcher. Gibson against Stadlemire on a perfect afternoon for baseball. The big news here at the ballpark of course the game itself at Whitey Ford. Ford had a little bit of a press conference so to speak. They finally announced that Whitey Ford has a sore arm. I talked to Dr. Gaynor who is a team physician for the New York Yankees and Dr. Gaynor did not seem alarmed. He said it's a condition he's had for four or five years. It's a circulatory problem and when the series is all over we'll sit down, go over thoroughly and then make a decision. So it hasn't been a heel, it hasn't been a strawberry, it's been a sore arm that's kept Whitey Ford out of the World Series as regular as we are used to seeing him. Whitey had quite a line in the clubhouse after the game when of course the Yankees very happy to tie it up going to the seventh game. And as Whitey Ford was shaving he looked over at Coach Jim Gleason and he said Jim here it is the final game coming up. He said did you think it would be like this when we went to spring training down in Hollywood Florida about six years ago? Just about how long it seems the way they've been battling both these ball clubs. The clubs are very loose during batting practice you didn't really feel a whole lot of tension if there is any tension they hit it pretty well. Johnny Keane of the St. Louis Cardinals the manager he puts it very simply he says we're ready we're happy to be here. Yogi as only Yogi can say it he says we're ready we're real happy to be here and at least we all know that we're going to go home after the game today so that's how excited Yogi was about it. Gibson the pitcher for the Cardinals warming up right now is sore all over is about the best way he explains it he was hit with a line drive in the last game he pitched and of course he's one of those guys who puts a lot of effort into his delivery if you remember in the first game that he pitched here in St. Louis they relied heavily on a fastball worked very quickly in the second game at Yankee Stadium he started off with the curveball and then went to a fastball and racked up a lot of strikeouts he certainly is within range and probably will break Sandy Kofax's total strikeout wrecking world series. Gibson has 23 22 Kofax has 23 and if Gibson is any kind of stuff at all you're certainly expecting to strike out more than two or three. Stadlemeyer the youngster with the good sinker ball and Yogi he is a boy that Yogi wanted to pitch all along here at Bush Stadium the right field foul line is 310 feet the slot is 354 in right center dead center field 425 left center 379 and down the line left field 351 so with Stadlemeyer pitching Yogi feels that he keeps that ball down and home runs are a big factor in his ballpark and you need that fellow who can throw the sinker ball and Stadlemeyer certainly has that. The seventh game of the 1964 World Series Bob Gibson against Mel Stadlemeyer now this final World Series game is being brought to you from Bush Stadium in St. Louis the cars are out the results are in

runs have been a big factor throughout this series the Cardinals won the first game nine to five the second one was won by New York eight to three and then the third game won by Mickey Mano's dramatic bottom of the ninth home run two to one the Yankees won that one fourth game four to three the Cardinals won the Grand Slammer by Ken Boyer fifth game won by St. Louis McCarver at a big home run the sixth game yesterday it was home runs by Maris and by Mano eight to three was the score ball players come out to a ballpark they kind of take their own weather report you can say what the temperature is and you can talk about the slight breeze but they look at the flag to see who it's going to help and right now she's blowing in and it isn't going to help anybody it'll help the pitchers if anything although the breeze is not that stiff the grass in the infield is a bit high it is not fast as the grass when you start to describe it although the infield is hard in the outfield you can look for some bad hops because from the stands it looks very smooth but there are little clumps of grass and if the ball should happen hit one of these clumps it will not take a true hop boy all the outfielders during batting practice we're out checking that here are the lineups for the New York Yankees leading off and playing shortstop it'll be Phil Linz Linze shortstop batting second it'll be Bobby Richardson at second base Richardson second base batting third Maris Roger Maris he'll be in center field batting fourth Manel Mickey Manel in right field batting fifth the catcher Alston Howard Howard the catcher batting sixth Joe Peppertone at first base Peppertone first base batting seventh the left fielder Tom Tresch Tresch left field batting eighth it'll be Cleet Boyer Boyer third base and batting ninth will be the pitcher Staubelmeyer Mel Staubelmeyer for the St. Louis Cardinals batting first will be the center fielder Kurt Flood Flood center field batting second will be the left fielder Lou Brock Brock left field batting third the first baseman Bill White at first base batting fourth it'll be Ken Boyer the third baseman Boyer third base batting fifth the shortstop Dick Groot Groot at shortstop batting sixth the catcher Tim McCarver McCarver the catcher batting seventh will be the right fielder Mike Shannon Shannon right field and batting eighth will be the shortstop second baseman Maxville Del Maxville at second base and batting ninth is the pitcher Bob Gibson started to call Maxville a shortstop and can't help but think about Julian Javier and Tony Kubeck who are out of the world series like Kubeck taking a lot of ribbon he is sitting on the Yankee bench in his street clothes and they're all asking him if the brown suit that he's wearing is his road uniform Kubeck replaced on the roster by young Mike Hegan Lins has been doing such a great job at shortstop for the Yankees and Del Maxville filling in for the injured Julian Javier it's always a big disappointment for a ball player to battle as hard and as long as ball players on both these clubs have battled and not be able to appear in a world series the umpires are walking out towards home plate and this is the same crew that umpire they'll be in the exact position the same crew that umpire the first game with Frank Sikori behind the plate one of the great things about the rotation everybody has moved around they have different positions to work but the series going seven games and now I'll come back to the original position and Frank Sikori will be the umpire behind the plate there is no tomorrow this is it and it'll be Bob Gibson and the Cardinal pitching staff against Mel Stadlmeier and the Yankee pitching staff they will use everybody because if you don't pitch today you'll be going next with about 92 days rest the seventh game but the ball players were just amazing as they took batting practice no real sign of any pressure they just were popping the ball on the roof the Yankees of course very happy to have that short right field fence Cardinals is through the home park so it was really nothing new to them Bob Gibson continuing to throw down in a left field corner and Stadlmeier throwing in a right field corner Gibson throws very hard a great fastball slider and a curveball no trick pitches anytime he throws a change of pace it's a little bit of a under the heading of news because he doesn't change speeds at all if anything at all he'll shift into a higher gear and really flip it up there Stadlmeier Johnny Keene made quite an observation when I asked him if the book that the Cardinals had on the Yankees if it was as accurate as he thought it would be or were there any surprises and he said that Stadlmeier I knew he was a real good sinker ball pitcher but they didn't know that he had as good a curveball that he has you remember in the game the Stadlmeier pitch his last one out he had a real good curveball and was getting a lot of strikeouts with it as it appeared the Cardinal hitters were looking for the sinker ball the model breaks up around home plate the color guard standing in the center field the national anthem will be sung and probably the first time in world series history that I can remember will be sung by the wife of a well a Cardinal coach now and farm a red bird Mrs. Red Shane Dean so the national anthem will be sung by Mrs. Red Shane Dean who is the president of the pinch hitters club to sing our national anthem on behalf of all the wives of the Cardinal players Mrs. Red Shane Dean approaching one name stands for

Louis Missouri couldn't ask for better weather for this final game startle maya's next pitch swing ground ball foul just outside of first and curd flood just missed coming up with an extra base hit on an inside first ball swinging late just bounced one outside the bag now as the ball is being thrown in from the outfield bell startle mayer and his first year in the big leagues a lot of poise a lot of confidence out on the mound gets the sign from else than hard here's his two two delivery a curve outside and it's a full count three and two Cardinals with a very dangerous one two punch flood and block here's the playoff pitch swinging another foul down the right field line this one back into the crowd out of play bank sikori played on fire dusting off home plate my eyes moved back at third base with a full count on curd flood again the pitch ground ball high hopper boy it backs up grabs at one hand at the long throw just in time on a long stretch by peppaton and it's one out you cannot hold that ball even a fraction of a second longer than you have to with these cardinal runners and here is little brock rock hitting 269 7 for 26 so you had loose this kid was he was making jokes he gave peppaton a message to give startle mayer fill the first pitch he bunched most of the man will startle mayer up close the first day just did get him any place but back to the pitch he'd had a base hit he told peppaton he says there's startle mayer if he knows today's weather forecast and he said what is it he said early shower oh pretty clever i hear is bill white who has had a rough series but the cardinal fans are behind him he has had just one hit in 23 at bats batting 0-4-3 and if anybody is doing this series it is bill white two out nobody on the pitch too wide is a curve high ball one no score in the bottom of the first inning win the very little factor in today's ball game left hand hitting bill white ready the curve is hit just right away plan to feel we're back that one is over merrick said what the center field wall and white is going into second base with a stand up double that has to be one of the hardest hit balls in this series it didn't get up or down it just got out there merrick didn't have a chance and he played that carom perfectly and white i tell you one thing about him he hasn't been getting a base hit but he's been swinging so he certainly has go and that ball took one short hop and hit the straightaway center field wall 425 feet away a double for white and here is kenny boyer boyer hitting 130 is three for 23 in this series our notes have the first baserunner this seventh game of the world series on its second base with two out in the bottom of the first inning startle maya pitching from a stretch position out of kenny boyer he sets his pitch is a curve in there strike one call on deck dick rope stands deep in that box waves the bat around fastball is in there strike two call you know you got to get used to these umpires joe they're real good but some of them wait just a little longer to give the sign i think uh frank secori patterned himself after the uh late and great larry gets he was uh deliberate right on top of it and was really absolutely sure i think it's great if you don't want to make any snap judgments that might cause for ballgame all right ready now for the two strike pitch he checked his swing on a low outside curve one ball two strikes startle maya almost got him fishing for that curve ball white out at second base with two out sander looks in for the sign glove on his knee ball and back of him now he stretches delivers a curve strike three got him on a good curve ball nothing across for the cardinals and at the end of the first inning the score the Yankees nothing in the cardinals nothing something big has happened in the automotive world if you know cars you know what i mean the introduction of a great new series of automobiles from dodge all coming on big for 65 take new dodge darts we call it a

big for 65 at your dodge dealers now mickey mantel deleted off of the Yankees here in the top of the second of the scoreless ball game bob gibson through only six warm-up pitches that time he's saving his arm first pitch to mickey a curve a little low ball one first ball that gibson is thrown in the ball game mic batting 350 has had seven hits and 20 at bats gibson's next pitch fast ball on the outside corner one on one on deck elson howard with joe peppertown to follow one one delivery on the outside corner again one ball two strikes gibson said when he pitched to madeline new york he tried to throw the fastball for everything away from mickey knowing that mickey was having trouble reaching that outside pitch with that bad knee of his here's the wind up fastball a little low the count is even at two and two yankee hitters are trying to slow gibson down just a little bit stepping out of the box between pitches to deliver is a current strike three and there's a record that mr gibson has just broken as joe garregiole had told you he needed one strike out to tie cofax his record for the most strikeouts in the series and two to beat it and that's his second strike out of the ball game here's elson howard elie batting and even 306 for 20 one out no one on pitch to howard a curve a little low ball one third flood deep in center field gibson's pitches a curve in their strike call while one gibson a real fine superbly trained athlete real great shape his pitch curve long away two balls in a strike one out nobody on gibson kicks to live as a ground ball in the hole through a base hit fill up field the first yankee base hit and the first yankee base runner in this final game howard grounds a single just to the right of dick rope brings up joe peppertown and listen to the crowd reaction and peppertown gets a big kick out of this doesn't bother joe a bit he's hitting 182 4 for 22 but had the big grand slammer yesterday pitched to joe he checks his swing it's over strike call he said in the clubhouse yesterday said every park i play in my fan club has to have a meeting joe peppertown left hand better ready to pitch swing and gibson trying to pitch away from these left hand powerhead over the Yankees got that one on the outside part of the plate on deck tommy treks no score on the top of the second one out elson howard at first base bill white is playing in back of howard about three steps stretched by gibson delivers a foul back in the upper deck hurt flood has moved a little bit over in right center field on joe peppertown gibson gets the sign howard leading away at first curve popped in the air alongside third kenny boyle with the glasses down in foul territory is there he's got it and that's two away and it brings up treks tommy batting 250 is five for 20 in this series treks though with seven rbi leads both clubs in that department treks had that dramatic ninth inning home run with two out to tie up the ball game against gibson the curve is outside ball one and that was a game in which tim mccarver came up in the tenth inning they hit a three-run homer howard at first with two out gibson's change-up curve is in there strike one and boy tommy treks flinched three different times there he had taken a stride and tried to bring the bat back couldn't do it a one-one count beautiful motion by gibson on that one he doesn't throw too many of them and that's why it's such a big surprise to the hitter when he does throw in fastball foul back one ball two strikes and of course after you throw that change up and then fire you're a good high hard one it looks that much faster to the hitter now gibson is ahead of treks goes into the set position his pitch lines right out to left field base hit blocked by lou brock and how it started goes back the throw comes over maxville's head but not too far broke gave that ball a good try but tommy treks going to the opposite field got good wood on it just over his glove fellows alfielders are making sure they're getting in front of that ball because those little clumps of grass give it that bad hop you won't see i would make you to say that most of the balls will will not be feeling cleanly because you're going to have to knock it down base runners take that extra step and outfielders make sure they get down and joe was explaining that to you fans before the game started and you could see block rock get down on both knees to block that with his chest or any part of his body all right here's cleat boy he run us at first and second two out no score boy are hitting an even 204 for 20 gibson's curve is a little low ball one how it at second treks at first gibson checks how it at second delivers it's a curve low ball two to nothing on deck is mel stonelmeyer and even though there was not a base open gibson can afford to pitch very carefully to cleat boyer run is leading off first and second gibson shook off one sign now he's got the one he likes his pitch is a curve and that one's in there two balls one strike nobody throws that fastball anymore when they're behind the big right hander sets his pitch is a swing on this strike two and he plays that one in there i mean to tell you he fired it right in on boy's fist two balls two strikes two out and two on here in the top of the second no score no bob gibson even with only two days rest can reach back for that little extra he started a stretch then stepped back off the rubber checks the sign again with macabre he's ready his pitch checks wing ground ball foul it hit boyer in the batter's box boyer picked it up flipped it to macabre macabre didn't give the umpire much time to look at that ball he wanted to give it right back to gibson oh i could write how does the gory says in the little edge you know you get a little spot on there you want to try to get it out of that pitch as soon as you can and him look like a pick pocket on that one isn't he a two two count on cleat boyer gibson working a little slower here in a little bit of a jam with runners at first and second he's nodding his head but continues to look in for the sign taking a long time now he steps on the rubber checks how his pitch the ground ball is short wrote to us right bobbles it picks it up can't make a play all hands are safe dick wrote reached three times for that ball and when he reached the first time he took his eye off the ball to look and see if the second baseman were at second and couldn't quite locate it it's an error charge to dick wrote in the bases are loaded and it brings up meld startle mire meld has had one hit in seven at bats batting 143 and again this fast infield is quite a factor in this ball game boy was only here to step a two to gross right but he had trouble getting over there all right here's the wind up it's a startle my swing and a miss strike one way out in front of a good slider thrown by gibson boyer at first trash at second how it at third with two out gibson quickly into the wind up his pitch swing and a miss at another slide a strike two quickly ahead of startle mire on deck filled ends gibson is ready strike three swinging that's the third strikeout for gibson and a mighty big one and at the middle of the second ending the score is the Yankees nothing in the cardinals nothing i like to ask yo garage yola question joe and startle mire struck out macarva dropped the ball and yet startle mire did not run to first base it was a real good play for what he did uh he just tagged home plate and told the umpire which was a force out really on howard but when you do that you better alert the umpire just for uh you know safety and that's the first time i ever saw that play well it saves you from throwing a ball at first base he just tagged home plate and says it's a force out because you can run with two outs i saw that happened one time where umpire just didn't see the play and said i didn't see you tag home plate and everybody was safe you learn something every day and right now here is dick road leading off groat batting 217 5 for 23 startle mire's first pitch is taken lawn inside ball one on deck tim macarva no score bottom of the second startle mire's pitch ground ball pepidono is right has it flips to startle mire in time and pepidone was shading groat over in the hole between first and second knowing that dick hits there quite often and here is the red hot tim macarva just one step further uh on that plate bill it just shows you how cool this youngster is everybody's waiting for him to throw it and he just made the easy play by tapping home plate and walking off he picks things up in a hurry macarva picking up a lot of base hits here in this series 476 10 for 21 a left hand batter takes the strike right down the middle on deck mike shannon boyer is in on the edge of the infield grass macarva beat out an infield hit yesterday hitting it between boyer and linds the pitch is a curve it's just outside ball one one on one taking a little extra time nobody in a hurry a long winter ahead for both teams the one one pitch fouled back macarva trying to slice that ball to left field one ball two strikes now the capacity crowd on hand today here's the one ball two strike delivery a curved line far down the left field line and boy that macarva went with that outside curveball still one ball two strikes one out nobody on the mire gets the sign from howard short wind up curve this one high and outside and that evens it up at two and two perfect weather for this final game of the world series now the two two delivery is high and away and it's ball three a full count and two startle my back to the rosin bag takes his glove off rubs up the ball now he's ready on the pitching rubber here's the payoff pitch to macarva way outside that ball missed by two feet and there is the first walk of the ball game for either pitcher macarva at first and here is mike shannon batting 208 5 for 24 on deck down maxville pepper tone moves over the whole first against macarva with one out no score on the bottom of the second the stretch by startle mire his pitch is over as canon started to swing and then held up strike one canon step back to take a quick look at third base coach bern benson carver leads away at first here's the stretch pitch foul and back of the plate back to one of the fans in the first row of box seats nothing in two the count how startle mire leans in to get the sign he sets delivers a curve strike three swinging and boy he had shannon way out in front of that pitch strike out number two for male startle mire brings up down maxville maxville batting 177 he's three for 17 on deck barb gibson pitch to maxville is a curve right in there strike one call no score here in the bottom of the second inning carver not too big a lead at first base startle mire checks him kicks delivers a curve foul to the left of the plate strike two moves back at third base the pitch is a curve hit in the air to left field tommy trash moving in under it he's there and he's got it and now at the end of the second inning the score is the Yankees nothing in the cardinals nothing we will be back on side

inside corner strike two ahead of fill in all right gibson is ready kicks the curve hit foul frank risetti to his right nice play by the crow wants to throw it back in for the umpire to look at no balls two strikes barb gibson on the mound goes into the wind up fastball high and away one ball two strikes again gibson ready his pitch swing and a foul tip back to the screen count holes at one ball and two strikes no score top of the third bobby richardson on deck here's the pitch broken bad ground ball and boy has got it the first thing he's safe at first base right through the ball of macabre almost threw it in the Yankee dugout what a play kenny boy amade and fill in who threw his bat at the ball yesterday and lined a single left broke his bat this time the barrel started out at kenny boy and it's a wonder boy it didn't go for the barrel of the bat boy are going way over to the short stop position coming up with that ball rifling it to first but first base umpire bill mckinley called lin safe at first so it goes as an infield single bill white thought they had linds by quite a bit and uh turned around to flip the ball to macabre so they could throw the ball around the infield and he almost threw it over macabre's head into the Yankee dugout an infield single for lin the third hit for the Yankees here's bobby richardson bobby struck out his first time at bat now kenny boyer moves in a third bill white holding first against linds they got a look for anything here the stretch pitched to bobby ground ball is short wrote over to maxville for one back to first double play i want to tell you joe that maxville showed me something there because that linds was coming right into it yes sir uh growth gave him a good ball to handle about i high but he didn't have enough time to get out of the way and the kid just planted his feet stayed there and linds was right in on top of them and it was a fine double play and linds took maxville out of the play but after maxville had thrown the ball and that ball was not hit too hard and richardson can go down that line so it's too quick outs and here is roger marris marris bounced the second base his first time at bat on deck mickey mantel it's for marris on the outside corner strike one call gibson definitely keeping the ball away from the anky par one strike delivery ground ball hits to the left side boyer backs up he's got it throws in time to get marris good play by kenny boyer and now at the middle of the third inning the score is the anky's nothing in the cardinal's nothing but you hear the name

little since the start of the game wall way and here is kurt flood flood bounced out the third base his first time at bat did you guess or look i guessed y'all but how about these guys who guess for a bad ball get it and still can't hit it what's wrong with that the pitch to flood inside ball one i like hodges that one year he said he never bad you're hitting he had a bad you're guessing the one nothing pitch low and away ball two on deck lou brock one out nobody on nothing nothing ball game here in the bottom of the third any startle my his pitch a ground foul outside a third bouncing down the left field line has a tough chore with the speedy cardinal runners he's playing in but when they chop a ball off his heart infield many times it can bounce over the third baseman's head the two one delivery inside and higher ball three three and one delivers it's a foul back fastball was in on flood inside corner full count three and two our big pitch coming up to kurt flood my checks the sign here's the payoff pitch ground ball a third boy a backhand it the throw to first base in time and they call it a fair ball flood had stopped before he got to first boy i had backhand of the ball and uh his momentum carrying them over the foul line and joe on that play before the ball gets the third base check me if i'm wrong it's the home plate umpire's call to call it fair or foul it is and he looks at the third base umpire to kind of put the uh seal on and both umpires immediately called it a fair ball so kory called it a fair ball a minute boy or grabbed it and hanks or a third base indicated fair ball both of them right now and that's what it is johnny keen is out there now along with both coaches for the cardinals schultz and benzin and our benzin is going out to talk with third base umpire hanks or now johnny keen runs down to talk with hanks or cleat boyer getting in on the discussion cleat backhand of that ball and his momentum carried them into foul territory johnny keen gets the explanation from hanks or and goes quickly back in the dugout what a job that johnny keen has done all year with these cardinals all right here's lube rock trying to beat out a bunt bunt it back to the mound was thrown out in the first inning two out nobody on no score startlemeyer into the windup his pitch is low ball one boyer moves further in now with rock up there next pitch is a curve that's high ball two two and nothing on deck bill white the pitch low and away ball three three and nothing though startlemeyer has walked only one man thus far his control not quite as sharp as it was in his two other previous appearances the three nothing pitch right down the middle strike call the three one pitch swing line drive base at the center field marris comes in locks the ball brock takes a big turn and then comes back i said if you give these cardinals one inch and they'll take that extra base keep in mind that brock has the green line anytime he wants to go johnny keen has a don't go sign and with two outs you can bet but if he gets any kind of a jump at all we're gonna see a battle between elton howard and lou brock and right now here is bill white who hit one of the longest doubles we've ever seen one bounce against the 425 foot sign in deep center field howard motion of startlemeyer make him stop at first base make him come set all right joe brock leads away and he's got a good lead to throw there they almost got him look at propitone stepping over brock having a little discussion with mckinley he was trying to get that running jump joe he gets that walkie lead i'll tell you boys he can go startlemeyer with that good move made doc brock dive back into first here's the stretch another quick throw this time brock jumps back in bill white now digging himself a little hole time is called at the plate of course this is tough on a hitter when you've got a good runner at first they never know when it gets set one of the pitcher is coming to the plate here's the stretch the pitch is low ball one and howard bounced out in front of the plate as brock left going that was one of the real good blocks he just didn't take one step he was spinning those wheels boy like he was trying to get traction so with two out and no score here on the bottom of the third strike count on bill white carnal fans yelling for brock to go with a stretch quick throw over there brock is back and don't think melch startlemeyer is not aware of brock's speed there's the stretch the club's going a swing in the mesh strike one one on one on each pitch you see elston howard jump out you guys remember with a left hand batter up there howard's vision is cut off quite a bit he can't see that runner tell you one ball and one strike brock's been getting the lead and howard pitched out just once and he's egging for it if startlemeyer's got any kind of control this would be a good spot right here for the pitch out all right let's see what happens startlemeyer checking the sign he sets quick throw over again to first base whenever you see a pitcher throw the first base that shows there's no pitch out on because the catcher likes to see that fellow run you don't want to hold him too close just stop him brock wants to go now white steps out and i'll play he'll have to start all over they want to take a look at the ball but frank secori said it's fine oh we've got a little battle of wits going on right now brock leads off first the stretch the pitch ground ball richardson is right there on the big hop flips the pepper tone for the out and now at the end of the third inning the score is the Yankees nothing in the card knows nothing right now we pause 30 seconds for station identification today from years of experience and

to mantel howard and pepper tone here in the top of the fourth inning there's been no score so you get that fast runner i know to catch you what it can do to you how about as an infielder do you find yourself looking at the fast runner too long you do joe because you've got to keep your eye on them and especially with a fellow like white out there who can hit to all fields you don't want to leave your position too soon and yet with a runner like brock if you don't leave too soon you might not get the second basin time mickey mantel who struck out his first time up leads off here in the top of the fourth bob gibson into the windup his pitch fouled on the left field line out of play and that time mantel went with the pitch gibson as we told you has been pitching away from him he took the mickey to pull that type pitch feel deep in centerfield gibson's pitch is a check swing in a strike two he held up but the ball was over the plate nothing in two the two strike pitch outside ball one now gibson is ready a check swing ground ball right back to the box gibson has it rose to bill white mantel is out of there mantel trying to hold up on his swing and gibson crossed him up that time he came inside with a fastball mickey looking for it away stepped right into that pitch here's elton howard ellie single a left field getting the first yankee base hit in this ball game that was in the second inning yankees loaded the bases in the second but failed to score how it swings and follows the first pitch back strike one in a nick frank secori around the left ankle surprised they haven't come up with bigger shin guards for the umpires to wear they wear those little ones that look like the regular shin guards after taxes or something got a lot of spots where they can get hit with those joe the one strike pitch foul back out of play ball really bounced around in the upper deck everybody trying to get out of the way of that one on deck joe peppaton one out nobody on two strikes on howard gibson's pitch is a little high ball one now he's ready ground ball gibson couldn't get it the second baseman maxville there throws to first he's got him gibson leap for that ball just miss grabbing it maxville got over in a hurry it's two out here's peppaton who fouled out the third base in the second inning and there goes the peppaton chorus just thinking i've been playing her all year just think how many fans he's making me play her all year i joe digging into the plate as gibson gets ready his pitch is fouled back out of play here is a bulletin from nbc news british united press reports soviet premiere nakita khrushchev has resigned as premier and as head of the party leonid breznov has been named first secretary and alexa koseijan has been named new soviet premiere this has been a bulletin from nbc news fans are not a play up to this point gibson has not given the left hand it is anything that they could pull with any power nothing in two on peppaton the wind up the pitch is hit off the fifth the second baseman dale maxville is right there he's got it three up and three down and now at the middle of the fourth inning the score is the Yankees nothing in the cardinals nothing for the cardinals in the bottom of the fourth inning it'll be ken boyer dick rote and tim macabre facing mel stottlemire boyer struck out swinging his first time up nothing but goose eggs up on the scoreboard first pitch to boyer line right back through the middle they said and stottlemire could not get his glove down in time he tried to but it was by him and it just missed hitting him off the right knee a bullet back through the mound now the hits are even at three a piece the batter is dick growth who bounced the first base in the second inning linds and richardson having quite a conversation phil uh if you were playing assured who would be covering well i see linds pointing to himself to cover but i would let that second baseman have as much room in right field as he would want because growth as you know can take that ball and almost throw it out there so the shortstop must cover in a spot like this even though he's a right hand hitter even though he's a right hand batter all right boyer leads away the stretch pitch to growth he takes it along inside ball one any boyer who can also run for a big man at first base pepper tone holding him on so over there boyer has to dive back at first boyer measures his lead he's got a very efficient way of doing it he gets a body's length in an arm away so if he just falls his fingertips will grab the bag a body's length in an arm away and that's just what he did joey fell back in the first base all right quick another quick throw and this time boyer jumps back just ahead of pepper tones tag and as you can see his joe told you this growth who can handle that bat yogi bearer got startle mire in the hold in feeling outfield alerted you don't know what he's going to do the pitch he takes it low inside ball two to nothing and this makes it rough on a pitcher too because he's got a not actually quick pitch but try and get rid of that ball to not give that runner an extra jump at first base and if you're hitting run man you wouldn't want a better spot than two balls and no strikes that pitch has got to be around that plate so boyer's got the good speed they got the good combine going all right let's see what develops boyer leads away startle mire sets he doesn't go on the ball is taken it's ball three and how it turns around to talk to sikori it's ball three dick rote has a good eye and can hit and run anytime in any given situation here in the bottom of the fourth no score any boyer at first the stretch the pitch is taken low ball four and the cardinals really have a threat going now with runners at first and second nobody out and about a tim macabre and the anky bolt man gets hot rolling sheldon a right hander and al downing a left hander are up down there how it out to the mound to talk with startle mire macabre walked in the second inning groated first ken boyer at second and now macabre steps back as bern benson whistles into him from the coaching box at third flashes and signs up a tone in front of the bag at first boyer even with the bag at third the stretch by startle mire the pitch swing and a foul tip strike one so the cardinals not going for the sacrifice at least not on that first pitch and once in a while they let him swing for one strike joe all right macabre steps back now boyer moves in a little bit at third base linds trying to hold kenny boyer close to second shaded over that way the stretch the pitch swing ground ball peppercorn's got it goes to linds for one back to startle mire while going to score a run scores and the cardinals lead one and nothing on a hard hit ground ball peppercorn took a base hit away from macabre by it to linds but startle mire late getting over to first base trying to keep his foot on the bag and backhand that ball it got by him as startle mire fell to the ground the run scored and the cardinals lead one and nothing so that'll be a fourth play for macabre and we'll see who gets the error if they give it to linds it'll be a tough play for linds to get the error and linds is charged with the error macabre is at first with one outgrowth was forced at second base so the play goes a fourth play from three to six and give linds an error macabre did not advance the second and here is mike shannon struck out his first time up fits the shannon a curve a little strike one called bobby richeson was a man backing up that play uh filled it kept macabre from getting the extra base that's right bobby came from nowhere feel of that uh carrom off the wall so the cards break the ice here and this deciding game of the world series only one out macabre leads away the stretch the pitch line right centerfield a big kick there goes macabre rents second they're in love with it his throw comes in a second base and the cardinals have run as that first and third the batter is dal maxville remember we had a situation like this with maxville up turning attempt at a squeeze play our going out to startle mire just a quick visit and i'm sure that's one of the things he reminds them of because the worst thing you can get out of it would be second and third and two outs with chance for your picture at least to come up that's right joe they attempted it here and he filed off the pitch the last time all right runners at first and third one out the cards lead one or nothing in the bottom of the fourth runners lead away the stretch the pitch the runner goes to swing in the midst of throw the second base well nothing in time the runner coming in the plate the throw out in time the double steal work the cardinals pull a double steal and score a one i want to tell you that was beautifully executed as macabre got two thirds of the way to second base and hesitated for a fraction of a second that third base kim macabre hesitated until how it threw to second how his throw was a little high so towards the first base side of the bag and richison could not get anything on the throw the cardinals pull a double steal and they lead two to nothing with shannon at second and a count of one strike on down maxville he swung at that pitch the curve is blown away and shannon had a good jump that time looked like he might be going joe tell you a fine piece of running because howard had stopped macabre at third base and that's what you have to do is he stopped him dead then through to second and it was not a real hard throw because you want to make sure macabre stopped in a second and a count of one strike on down maxville he swung at that pitch the curve is blown away and shannon had a good jump that time looked like he might be going joe tell you a fine piece of running because howard had stopped macabre at third base and that's what you have to do is he stopped him dead then through to second and it was not a real hard throw because you want to make sure macabre stopped but macabre timed it perfectly and scored easily the pitch landed right field at base hit making man up with it they're sending shannon in the throw to the plate goes to second base holy cow these signals are red hot right now more xk more xfm singularous maxville right for the single right field and bern bettson gave shannon the green light and manel's throw was just offline it pulled howard towards the dugout away from home plate and the throw been right over the plate shannon would have been a dead duck but howard had a reach to his right for the play and shannon slid across the plate just as howard went to tag him maxville went to second on the throw to the plate the batter is bob gibson the cardinals lead three to nothing in the bottom of the fourth boy that maxville's taken a big lead at second base the cardinals this inning have really been running he didn't even hesitate on that throw coming in field he was going 40 miles in the 30 miles zone boy i guess you couldn't have stopped him if you wanted it joe all right here's the stretch pitch to gibson a curve low and away of all one so in this inning ken boyer is scored tim macabre is scored and mike shannon is scored and the unusual thing is that only one run has been batted in of the three scored by the cardinal pitch to gibson ground ball far outside of third he checks his bat he hit it right off the end and i believe he split it yes he did walking bat for another bat a one one count and of course all through this series the ankeys have realized that the running speed of the cardinals would upset their defense but not so much as it has done in this seventh and final game of the world series wow a one one count on gibson maxville with a big lead at second base here's the stretch the pitch is a curve popped up joe pepperton at first base is under it near the far line and just in fair territory makes the catch so that's the second out here in the bottom of the fourth and it brings up court flood that has been up twice and both times bounce to third base maxville at second fards picking up three big runs here in the bottom of the fourth mel stottlemire ready his pitch ground ball at second base Richardson's there fires the first in time for the out but three big runs for the cardinals and now at the end of the fourth inning the score is the cardinals three the ankeys nothing and by the way all three runs scored that inning by the cardinals are considered earned by the official scorers even though there was an error a throwing error by the ankeys shortstop filled in the runs are all earned tommy tress well lead it off for the ankeys tommy lined a single a left field in the second inning and now the ankeys really with their backs to the wall trailing three to nothing here in the top of the fifth the seventh and deciding game of the 1964 world series bob gibson into the wind up his curve hit far outside of first down the right field line al downing who is loosening up going back to retrieve that ball but a fan gets it ahead of him mel stottlemire is scheduled to be the third hitter this inning so yogi might be going for a pinch hitter downing continues to throw pitch the trest he starts the but takes it outside one on one gibson just missed that corner that was a good spot to throw that curve with trest attempting a bunch tommy likes to be running the first base when he lays down the button checks his swing it's low ball two two or one strike during gibson almost fell down as he delivered that pitch and i tell you that's a little disconcerting to the hitter when he sees that gibson let that big foot come down and then almost fall but he doesn't sure foot it out on the mound shakes off two signs now he's ready the two two pitch curve a little bit high he had trest fooled on the pitch but it was just above the letters three and two now the playoff pitch file tip back to the screen those two strikes nobody out and nobody on in the top of the fifth inning the cards lead three to nothing gibson into the wind up his curve is outside ball four and there's the first war given up by bob gibson in the ball game and it brings up cleat boyer boyer reached on an error in the second inning his hard ground ball in the hole couldn't be handled by dick growth bill white comes over to hold the bag against trest nobody out in the on-deck circle as yet scottl maya scheduled to be the next batter pitched a boyer a curve swing in the mist strike one gibson sets delivers it's on the outside corner strike two calls frank succory taking a good look at these balls and strikes making no snap decisions and our bill white moves in back of trash at first the two strike pitch a curve popped in the air to short left center field rock coming in flood coming in rock calls flood calls and flood makes the catch senior umpire rather the senior center fielder on the cardinals came up with that one that could have been trouble and now let's see who comes out of the anky dugout and it looks like young mike hegan that's who it is mike hegan who got into this world series as joe told you because of the injury to tony kuback hegan was put on the active list to participate in the world series the son of the anky bullpen coach jim hegan who was quite a catcher in his day for the cleveland indians here's a stretch pitch to hegan taken low and away ball one he is pitches outside ball two to nothing this is the third game in which young mike hegan is appearing he's been at bat once without a base hit struck out is only time at bat bats him left-handed holds that bat right down to the end the pitch is over the outside corner strike called to him one joe these good pitchers when they get behind they don't ease up no sir it just rears back as he threw harder gibson called for a new ball the cardinals leading three to nothing top of the fifth inning one out tommy tress who walked at first base the pitch swing and a miss strike two and after a low fastball down around the knees in the pitch it's a little bit high and it's a full count three and two tommy tress checks frank risetti in the coaching box at third bill white moves in now to hold tress close at first gibson ready for the payoff pitch here it is it's low and inside and he walked him and that's the second walk given up by gibson both of them here in the top of the fifth inning and the battle will be phil linds linds bounce the third and beat out an infield single one man out and we're going to have some action in the cardinal bullpen roger craig a right hander gets up tress at second he can at first one out gibson sets his pitch is lying the right center field and coming in fast shannon he makes the play in a quarter second he got it by mike shannon took the base hit away from phil linds and turned it into a double play holy god that shannon can fly and the score now is the cardinals three

up the play he booted the ball but not far enough to allow bill white to come on in with nobody out burn benson doesn't want to take any chances and run the car goes out of an inning so he put up the red light for bill white who stopped the third boy is on its second base and the hitter is thick road a double for boyer here comes yogi bear out of the Yankee dugout sheldon is warming up for new

gibson did balltip and a strike two two strikes no balls account elston howard adder mannell has a new record and here the announcements in the background it seems like every time mannell shows up at

score those runs go one ball two strikes elston howard the hitters six to three is the score top of the six the pitch by gibson balltip hit that off the end of the bat slider gibson does not change

mccryber's second shannon's at first and maxville is the hitter so with base runners at first and second maxville up there boyer of course will be looking for a month peppercorn is looking for a month boyer can't leave too soon mccryber a good runner in second hamilton at the belt they're sneaking in maxville is going to punch it down a third base line of beauty boyer has to make his play to first base to rickettson advancing mccryber and shannon hamilton broke off the mound towards the third base line but maxville pointed the ball hard enough to get it by hamilton and the hand that you hear is for bob gibson a standing ovation and he's going to make a pitching change he wants pete michelson the right hander the single ball right hander to come in and replace his left hander steve hamilton a

third base coach verne venson there is one out mccryber's the base runner at third shannon at second the infield is drawn in tight the Yankees cannot afford to give up any runs michelson will pitch off the stretch to keep an eye on mccryber gibson can handle that bad michelson at the belt here's a pitch swell on it deep a foul man he got around on a fastball knee hitting on the roof over everything way out in front gibson trying to get at least a fly ball pull one foul and strike one infield in there's one out seven to three that's the score st louis is out in front bottom of the eighth michelson taking plenty of time ready delivers swung on and fouled out of play once again that's strike two on bob gibson michelson wants a new baseball he can't afford the luxury of the fly ball he's got to go for the strike out to strike down bob gibson one out the base runners at second and third bottom of the eighth inning the seventh game of the 1964 world series gibson waving at bat michelson gets a sign from howard mccryber leads off third cannon off second michelson ready now at the belt checks the runners are pitched to gibson swung on a bouncy ball boy a third hand that they got mccryber hung up to howard howard runs he's back now flips the ball gets away it hits the runner now he got shannon trapped mccryber starts for the plate it's michelson who's got mccryber trapped again he runs back close to the shortstop lind and they finally get him with shannon going back in the second base gibson in the first base the throw hit mccryber it found it away from boyer but shannon was there when he had it back for second base they had shannon caught between second and third mccryber saw this he had it back towards the plate and michelson very alertly backing off the play was at home plate they threw they had mccryber caught and finally tagged him out of third base play went from boyer to howard back to boyer lind michelson and lind the third base finally made the put out so we got two outs at second base it's shannon at first base is bob gibson the hitter is third flood line dry right at cleat boyer the ball was well hit but boyer had him well played that end
