 Gillette's Cavalcade of Sports is on the air. When you shave, tooth and beyond the foam, just be sharp. You still let me play for the quickest, thickest shape of... Good afternoon, baseball fans. This is Mel Allen with Red Barber, greeting you for the Gillette Safety Razor Company, maker of world-famous Gillette razors, blades and shaving cream. Fans, for the tops in sports, tune in Gillette's Cavalcade of Sports the year around. The final game of the 1952 World Series. And I know that you're anxious to know the official identities of the starting pitchers. And so, quickly, we go right down to the playing field and show you, as you would expect, right-hander Joe Black of the Brooklyn Dodgers as previously announced by Chuck Dressen, making his third appearance in this series as a starting pitcher. He's one-one and lost one. And for the Yankees, the issue is no longer in doubt. It's going to be left-hander Eddie Lopat. So that manager Casey Stangle, hard-pressed for a starting pitcher for today as a result of having to bring in Allie Reynolds yesterday in relief, said he had to sleep on it. And he came up with a Lopat today. Eddie with three days' rest. Coming in to pitch against a Dodger lineup, which is predominantly filled with right-hand batters. The Dodgers have not had too much trouble with left-hand pitchers, particularly here at Abbott's Field. But Casey Stangle had to come up with somebody, and it's Eddie Lopat on the mound. Eddie lost his first World Series game when he opened the series at the Yankee Stadium last Friday. So we'll see what's going to happen in this final game of the World Series, one of the most dramatic ever played. Well, ladies and gentlemen, it would be most difficult to describe this series in so many words. Simply say that what has happened so far, regardless of what happens today, this series will go down as one of the greatest and most dramatic of all time. This is the 49th. This is the first seven-game series since these same two clubs, with largely different personnel, of course, battled down to the wire in 1947, the Yankees winning the final game to establish themselves as World Champions. The Dodgers, who have been, since day before yesterday on the brink of their first World title, this is their sixth series, the Yankees' 19, are hopeful today of coming back to get it. The series has bounced back and forth. The Dodgers won the first game, the Yankees the second. The Dodgers the third, the Yankees the fourth. The Dodgers the fifth, the Yankees the sixth. But there's no comeback from today. And the way these two teams have battled has been a joy to behold, thrilling all the way. And as most of the baseball observers have put it, regardless of who wins or who loses today, it's simply unfortunate that one of these two battling ball clubs has to go down to defeat. And that the team that loses certainly will not be disgraced, and the team that wins can be as proud as punch over having turned in a wonderful job. And so the batting orders, four of the New York Yankees leading off and playing third base, Gil McDougal hitting second, Phil Rizzuto shortstop. Batting third, Mickey Matel, center field. In the cleanup spot, Johnny My's first base. Hitting fifth, Yogi Farah catching. Hitting sixth, Jean Woodling, left field. Batting seventh, Arab Noran, right field. Hitting eighth, Billy Martin, second base. In the ninth spot on the order, Eddie Lopat pitching. And now Ms. Glad is getting at the organ, playing and singing our national anthem. Eddie Lopat, having made one previous start in the series, was charged with the defeat, as we have now considered giving you the Yankee batting order. Now for the Dodgers, leading off and playing third base, Billy Cox. Hitting second, Pee Wee Rizzuto shortstop. Hitting third, and sensationally, Duke Snyder, center field. In the cleanup spot, Jackie Robinson, second base. And you're now looking into the Dodger dugout. And number 42 there, his hands and hips, happens to be Jackie Robinson. Batting fifth, Roy Campanella, catching. Hitting sixth, as the Dodgers have revamped their batting order for the left-handed slant, so Eddie Lopat. Hill Haji's first base. Batting seventh, George Schuba, left field. Andy Papco, as you know, pulled a muscle two days ago and is available only for pin-setting purposes. Batting eighth, right field, Carl Parillo. And in the night spot in the order, pitching the brilliant Joe Black, who has one-one and lost one. Now the umpires come to the plate. Out in front are, leading from left to right, Bill McKinley and Larry Getz. Getz has his behind-the-plate paraphernator. Then, leading from left to right, Dusty Boggs, Jim Honeychicken, in behind, Art Passarella, and Dave Finnelli. They will be aligned in this fashion. Getz has the plate McKinley first, Finnelli second, Passarella third. We'll give you the foul line umpires in a moment. Make certain just where they're going to be. You may be interested in the fact that this is the 12th time in 49 World Series that the classic has gone the limit of seven games. Of course, there was a time, you remember, when they used to play best five out of nine. Prior to the seven game limit, when it was necessary to win five out of nine, the series went to eight games four times. Now in the 11 previous series that have gone the seven game limit, the National League teams have won seven of them. If you decide to put any faith in previous happenings. Now, the bullpen for both teams will be active right from the very beginning, most likely. Preacher Rowe is down in the Dodger Bullpen. He's not going to warm up as yet, but he's going down and he'll be ready. And most likely you'll see both bullpen clearing up immediately that either the starting pitcher shows the slightest sign of weakening. Whether or not we can pack any more drama into this world series, and already has been injected into it, I don't know whether or not people who've been watching it both here and at home have any reserves strength left to take any more of the excitement we don't know. But in any case, we certainly hope so. There goes Joe Black out to the mound, a brilliant right-hander, and moving into the Gillette microphone, a brilliant broadcaster, the old redhead, Red Barber. Thank you very much, Mel. Now you're seeing the starting Brooklyn battery, Joe Black coming back for the third time, first time since Frank Shea in 47, has a rookie started three games in the world series, Campanella back of the plate. Gil Hodges is his first base, second baseman, Jackie Robinson. That short is Captain Pee Wee Reese. Third baseman is the hands, Billy Cox. Out in left field, we have George Shuba. At the field there is Duke Snatter. At the right field are Carl Porello. Campanella back of the plate, and Mike Google getting led to be the first hitter for New York, back on the mound. One-on-one in this series. One beating Reynolds in the opening game, and then lost to Reynolds. He only gave it one run, but still he got beat, because that's when Reynolds gets the shut up. All right, Google, three for 20. And so here is the whole baseball year. Finally, pointed up for one single ballgame. This is it. Pushing in first base for New York. Frank Crosetti is the third base coach. Here's the first pitch. It's a fair ball hit medium-free. The shot, Reese. Harder than one-on-one. One away. Well, a little shot from the Yankees. It's three for 20 clean getting in. Rip one out. No score. The ballgame has begun. All strikes. Now, a gap. Back in the play, working balls and strikes. As manager Stingo, he spent yesterday, especially the late innings, standing in front of his bench, and he's starting out that way today. There's a bond up for a first base. Harder steals the ball and makes three foot out on Residore, tagging him. For Residore, punting for a base hitters out for first basing on the system and to a goal. Residore may have hurt his right knee a little bit when he went into that slide, trying to avoid the tie. He did. Well, here's Mattles, who's had a great series. He's aged to 24. Here's home run, where it's a differential yesterday, as the Yankees even the series with three games of free, winning three to two. Mattles puts it, as you know. Ground ball is hit foul outside first base. Mattles gets down the line. He can run. No balls, one strike. The Yankees are trying to win a fourth straight world title. The second time in their history. Dodgers are trying to win there first. This is their sixth opportunity at it. There's a high foul. Joe Black is one of the most interesting careers that you could study. The big fellow was a rookie at spring training camp and so little was known about him that he was not. I get this, he was not on the regular roster of the ball club. He will not find him in the National League Green Book. Spring training camp roster. That's how little known he was. And he came on solely relieving. He was almost strictly a relief pitcher. This is his third start in the World Series or one more than he made in the regular kind of race. Pitch is high. All of them. One ball can strike. Black did not start at all until the closing week of the opponent's campaign. When he puts the game in Boston which guarantees that I know worse than the tie. Third, third, three. Low and bad luck. So nothing across. And in the middle of the first inning scores the Yankees nothing that I just know. Eddie Lofat takes the mound for the first time in Abbotsfield in the series. He started and lost two creature roles in the opening game of the stadium which is being created for the series. Now to meet the Yankees we have Johnny Myers at the first base. At second base is Martin he starts up his risotto as our camera flips over there. There is Phil. Third base is McDougal. Woodling in left field. Mantle is in center. Right fielder is Norrin. Hickok's first up and Barra is the catcher. Terrible over for Carl Slade. According to the record we've been able to put together Barra is establishing a new record for the most put out by any catcher in the Super World Series. The record we believe was 51 he has 52 to be total amount. Hickok's takes on the outside. Barra. Hickok's is 6-22. Yankees went down before Joe Black 1-2-3 so we have no score. There was a screw ball that broke in there and it is a ball to strike. It takes up like coaching at first base in Brooklyn. And then Joe Charlie Dressen coaching at third. There we go. That's the first inning and everything is up for grabs. World title winner's share of the first. All the prestige and fame and the claim. The whole year was worth it. Low-fat. Stocky Latanda. Hock swings in the sharp curve and the ball is picked up and the tag is made on the hitter. I'll catch you back. Well reached yesterday for the first time in the series went again without getting a base hit. He has nine hits for the series. In Snyder each have nine. Snyder has become of course the hitting star. Only ball wide at third make Google up with a nice thing and it's a bad call. The first base post. It hit the first base post friend. This is my twenty-third year in this business and I've never seen a baseline coach hit with a grown ball before. Just another example anything can and probably will happen at Everett's Field. I think the rubbing the back of his left leg where the ball hit him like Google is charged with the arrow on his throw and Reese is on and Hitler I guess is glad to play the price. He was hit with a throw once. The Yankees have now activated seven hours in the series and that is the third one for MacDougall. Snyder hit in both the Brookton's run yesterday with home runs and his mouth told you he tied a Gary Grooth record for most home runs in a series by a batter with four. He's the third following World Series has to hit four home runs. There's no fat on the mound. Snyder is the new World Series holder of total bases about anything happening today. Swings and grounds at 12. Every base hit that he gets will add to his record for hitting for the most total bases. His total bases now are 23. In the regular season Charlie Dresden would drop Snyder down into the second portion of the batting order when the opposition started the left hander. Strike three a curve at Snyder could not check his swing on low fat. Strike one. Jackie Robinson has not had the World Series that he had hoped to have. There are plain facts of the case. If Snyder had not been hitting the Dodgers would not be here today. The Yankees would have won it because Robinson, Campanella and especially Hodges also Ferello and Paco. In other words the strength the right-hand hitters who carried the Dodgers to the finish. The power boys have been stopped. The Yankee pitching has certainly been rough on the Brooklyn right-hand hitters. Robinson runs it to left-hander Theo and it is a nice running catch by Woodling that saves the run. In Woodling, what over? Robinson teed off on the ball with a hotline drive Woodling pulled it down nice running catch. No runs, no hits in one hour for the Yankees and for the Dodgers no runs, no hits in one hour. Through the sharp every time he shapes through the field sharp and beyond the falls just the sharp falls with quicksand OK here is Johnny My vs. Bigteller's f4 for 12 leading off the second inning followed by Baro then by Woodling no score that's ball Cohen outside ball two brown ball that's that f1 justement I do not think that baseball has a parallel for the story of Joe Black this year know holding together a very wobbly mound staff Justin got decisions out of some 17 different like with his top winner is the leaf man with 15. I don't think a team ever had such a lack of a pitching staff and got into a World Series. My swing was out of here with fouls. When you realize black was so unknown that it did not even appear in his own league spring training book the start of the year and now winds up at the end of his rookie year having won one game in the series lost the top 100 but you only gave up one run and is now trying to pitch his team to a world title against the defending World Champion. That's all high outside ball free into all four and Yankees at the first place one of mine who's ponderously down the first thing you see. Now we have the yogi stepping in playing despite that bruised hip of the left index finger. That is six four twenty four a high popper going out into center. Now they're coming in takes it for the up. Now we have Gene Woodling who just made that fine catch. Well you don't know what that catch was just made it certainly saved one right and you don't know what might have happened. It might have saved the series who knows who will see. In fact this is the day that we are going to see curve on the outside ball line. When you think about it friends it's almost remorseless isn't it. Here are teams that's been years and years being built in the process kid scouted sorted check arm system over for a call strike. Year after year of grinding competition up through the minors to the majors teams welded starting at spring training camp. Here we are everything hinging on one ball game. I fly ball in the left center. She takes it and she went around and my shoulder first. Here is Noran Noran so far has had three for eight started the first game and started again yesterday and starting today. High five all in to the short right. Here is for all moving on. One half anything is gone and at the middle of the second inning the score remains the Yankees nothing that I just know. Listen Mr. How are you fixed for plans. Do you have plenty. How are you fixed for plans. You better check. Please make sure you have enough. Because the worn out plate makes shaving mighty tough. How are you fixed for. You better look to let you play. This string around my fingers a reminder that it is to purchase something I must not forget. We know is it shambles cigarettes or talcum powder. It's easy to play. How are you fixed for. You better look to let you play. We know that is ready to show off now for the last half of the second inning is no score. No runs and no hits. Look that was plagued the early part of the season with a bad arm. But he came around all right one can last five. His World Series record three victories and one defeat his first defeat in game three of this current encounter. Here is Roy Campanella with four for twenty four and he's been a single hitter. He's supposed to be one of Brooklyn's big power man. There's a trickle ball back to the mound and no power there. One out. He hit a screw ball right off the end of his back. I'm ready. Thanks for the show. I'm going to watch the. Bill Hodges is now becoming quite a sentimental favorite. The big guy has not a hit for 17. If he fails to hit today he will have achieved a uniqueness which will be better. No man has ever played seven World Series games. The regular barely got a hit. We don't like to mention that sort of a record possibility but yet there it is. He has been in the midst of his worst batting slump in his whole life. There was a slatter curve high outside all up. Look that very tricky. Son is now getting through very well. I just bring it along fly ball. Mantle backing up and makes the catch. But that's the best ball of gill is hit in series. It's a long way but straight away. I'll have two up. George Schubert is two for seven in the series. He doubled in the eighth inning with two out yesterday and put the tying run second base. That is when Rashi was replaced by Reynolds who made it stand out. He said. First hit by the ball game. My eyes all first against Kevin. Matters to be for all who is for the money. The Dodgers were poisoned to starting left handers all through the National League race. But the Yankees in the play say that Lofat is not an ordinary left hander. Game seven second inning two out run at first and no score. Round ball fair right over third base to throw two first in times go out. Keeps on going to right field. No runs one hit. So at the end of two innings totals no runs no hits and one error for the Yankees. No runs one hit and no errors for the Dodgers. Now a whole year's work in the world title in addition all wrapped up with just seven innings left. So it is getting tighter and tighter. I know that Walter O'Malley the president of the Dodgers. Even walking around practice talking to himself. I know that the O'Malley has been talking to the little man. The weather they've answered in back and not remains to be seen. Dan Topping of course is a great deal comma. He's had his Yankees already win for him before. Now it's Billy what. Her ball on the outside ball. Now looking at the vice president Bovesi and Thompson and there is Walter O'Malley. Get the cigar. Yankees the one 14 world title is lost for. But I just lost the five previous world series they've been in. This one is to be decided right here and now. Like it is impressive. Your friends at Gillette very happy to telecast it for you. No score. High five all it's not it comes in under number the wind is blowing in. It is holding up these five all. Now the picture for New York. And he looked at. Look that has one hit and knocked in the wrong with it. Pretty good hitting picture. All right. You're looking down now toward the Yankee box as a ground ball is hit up toward first base. Get that picture for you again. I just making the crowd unassisted at first we have to go for the Yankees the gentleman at the left in a light hat is there well the camera will just back of them a little bit. You will see the camera just a little back to the left down and to the left there headed there is Dan Poppick that raises right hand and George Weiss is sitting into the extreme right camera come down to the right just a second there is George Weiss. Then you move on down to and there was a commissioner Ford C Frick who is MacDougall leading off to down like curve is inside. Commissioner Frick is not feeling well today at all in fact he said that he feels so bad he was ill all evening that if this were not the decisive game he wouldn't be here. Again nothing across and as we get to the middle of the third inning the story is New York nothing booked enough. Well a little bird tells me you see in there on your screen. At its time to ask how you fix the blades. Yep he the shaving Gillette blue blades I mean. And you can't buy them in your bathroom so I'm going to get a fresh supplier before you run up. Double edged for a double economy Gillette blue blades have the sharpest edges ever home. They fit your Gillette razor exactly and protect you from the discomfort caused by misfit blades. Ask for Gillette blue blades in the Gillette dispenser. It deals them out unwrapped and has a safety compartment for used blades holding 20 blades 40 shaving edges. The Gillette dispenser is 98 cents. The 10 blade size forty nine cents. For that I do it will be black and then the top of the order cost three. And he looked that on the mound. Black has gone off the floor as a batten curve is over all straight swings of a screwball on the outside straight to the ballgame is moving as briskly along as the breeze that we have going in from behind left and center field swings and misses right free. So all of that moves on the book and body list of nine striking out three out long as one hit. But I just have had 45 batters truck out record of hitters truck out the Cubs set it in 45 in a seven game series and 48 men go down on the sun is through the afternoon is a lot nicer than the morning up here. Howdy and cold all morning. There's Billy Cox on him all the third. Look at them eyes and they have to up no score ballgame in this series just as tight as a brand new pair of shoes on a rainy day. Well that's tight. Well here's Peewee Reese he's the veteran of the Dodgers he goes back to 1940 with his club the curve over since Brooklyn has become a power in the National League they have been four three head men dominant. First Larry McFayle and Branch Rickey and now Walter O'Malley. Reese has played through all three of those administrations. Lopez getting ready. Reese hits a high five ball into right center no rain goes back falls it down. At the end of the three no runs no hits and one error for New York throwing our only infield no run one hit single by Schubert and no errors for the Dodgers and that you let's say to raise a company is mighty happy to bring you these telecasts and say folks that reminds you a redhead how you fix for blades and vanilla throwing through Robinson passing it on to Reese throw down the cock or brought into the mound the Yankees the number two three and four spots resort or Madeleine my and this one today is opening innocently the type pitching I did the one yesterday in fact it's an opening even quieter but there's going to be a storm a guarantee is they'll cap the prepatch before the day is over they said there's a 10th one off black and the first from the day and resort on his way for a second Cuba retrieves the ball advances back to the cell who had run out to number these caps is a second with a double they've been now a five second base picks up the cap of the dollars or is it all into the double inside third and the Yankees have a threat down in the left field corner where that double went expected a lean over and tried to interfere with the ball he did not but I'm far by just I got one of the park police put him on duty and the people down there have been worn not to interfere with the ball in play but now it's mantle nobody out for zero and second pounding ball to first touches up on the bag matter is out and it all moves over the third matter goes out forgets the first run of the ball game over two third base the batter is Johnny Myers one more area gets the ball and strike on fire cap and Ella is the catcher Myers walked in the second inning the only Yankee to get on except for a zero who's not third low across the knee cap all one back shaking no he's got his work set out for him strike Paul as you have noticed Larry gets in the next league staff is deliberate in his strike call back at the plate he takes a good look at it and I drive him in hitting an outside pitch into that field yet they're all right where it was fixed reached across the plate I think he reached out of the strike zone to hit it the line single and the Yankees leaving one and up so big John Myers X National League now driven in six runs in the series that is very terrible for a calls Frank this run for the Yankees is their fourth in 19 and a third innings against Black Robinson three I do double play that is double play number four for the Dodgers in the series and it's the 10th double play we've had all the way through four to six three the Yankees one run on two hits and in the middle of the fourth inning the score is New York one broken up I guess you might say about the most unkind thing that the New York Giants the bitterest enemies of the Dodgers ever did to them was to deal Johnny Myers to the Yankees Myers hit the base hit that was pivotal in the nineteen forty nine series did it all practice you'll recall most people think that was the turning point he just driven in a run today he's driven in five earlier runs now the batter is Snyder I fall in on the hand ball one madam struck out first inning Yankees one Dodgers nothing see those circles along the far lines that's for the fun go hitters before the ball game at a face knock and Snyder adds to his record with a single that gives him ten hits in the series that's not the record now has put before a total basis no other player in the history of the world series no matter how many games it went ever had more than twenty two so Snyder put the time run at first to the Dodgers answer back to hit number two off Lopez the batter is Robinson who was robbed of an extra base there by a fine catch for Woodling in the first inning Robinson three for twenty I was a quick terrible about like one one like he trouble like he trouble we're not even drop look that doesn't even try it but single so Robinson bumps to the pitcher and butts it so neatly that he moved Snyder the second puts himself on at first and look that there's not even draw and the Yankee bullpen is going to work on direct orders from the bench and out to the mound is second number thirty seven that's the skipper the old professor cases single so look that's in a jam Ali Reynolds is getting up in the Yankee bullpen you saw a player standing up out there there he is now he's gonna do more than stand up you're gonna start working that right off Ali Reynolds well the ballpark has come alive ballgame has suddenly yanked another emotional spring the Dodgers have two big right-hand hitters in the line against the left-hand a low pass Campanella and Hodges Yankees are ahead one to nothing Yankees have drawn first blood and the Dodgers are trying to cut back but of course third Yankees have again the bases are loaded so one single so the Dodgers load the bases and set the stage for Gil Hodges Hodges is given a word of guidance and assurance for a man of address and now cases single is on his way out to the mound I don't know whether look that is going to pitch the Hodges or not let's wait and see single as you can see is out there three men are on single as well and then two fun singles by Robinson and Campanella respectively Gil Hodges in a long fly ball in the second and English mantle caught Hodges is all for 18 in the series and just a moment single maybe starting for time he's bringing in Ali Reynolds well here comes the chief what more do you want he hasn't had too much opportunity to warm up but here he comes Reynolds who's won a ballgame lost the ballgame and saved the ballgame in a series for the Yankees Reynolds getting ready Mel and I were asking him before the ballgame if he had hurt his back yesterday in the 18th he said no he didn't hurt the back he just seemed to give himself a pull his fight's caught he said he's ready he pooped on any idea that he was hurt at the head man of the Yankee pitching staff so we've now got Black and Reynolds in a ballgame again that's the way we began looks like that's the way we're going out but Hodges has a customer to say around here on the banks of the Gowanus at the base of the FOB he's a full of bookings nobody else he's no Hodges looking forward his first hit as well as his first run bad of him in the series and he has drawn to be quite a sentimental favorite because he's become such an underdog and the odd thing is that he's the fellow that led the club in home runs and in runs batted in okay just set loose friends hold on to your hat and here we go Hodges back in three men on nobody else Yankees at the infield pulled in halfway and the ball drilled into left field it is caught but here comes Snotch towards the plate and scores the tying run the ball gets away from Reynolds and while the Robinson goes over to Therry so Hodges does not get a base net but he does knock him the tying run and it's a brand new ball game at one and one the throw gets away from Reynolds that gets away from Berra at home plate Reynolds recovered it Robinson advances over to third base but for Hodges that is a run batted in his first to the series and he's a brand new ball game tied at one and one not a scoring it's run is Charlottes Lopez and the run is earned now we've got to find who the score awards the error to for Robinson moving over to third base he did not go over on the throw in the matter is George Schuber runs the first and third the error is charged to Reynolds as the score arose that the ball got away from Reynolds not Berra the error is charged to Ali Reynolds second Yankee error today eight there of the series all right two ball drops even again with a dodger threat continuing here in the last of the fourth Schuber takes a curve low inside ball one Schuber is one for one today he is three for eight so far in the series curve low inside ball two foul ball out of play nice turn one a real tough series isn't it huh now I've been looking back in his scorecard and he says that this is it's not his run here in the fourth is the first time he scored a run outside of when he scored himself with a home run by the way this is the first at seven Brooklyn runs it's not a hasn't driven in although he did score it slow curve is beautifully done call strike two boy the chief just lobbed that one through there practically he spun it off all right two and two I think Stengel have brought in Reynolds just about where he wanted to didn't want to start him but he wanted to get him in around the middle of the ball game but he's got him in this is inning four strike three he let out there was a change of pace and Schuber has struck out and now Robinson cannot be scored from third as the result of an out Reynolds has now run his strikeout totals to 17 Brashe has a total of 18 well that was a big out and Reynolds really went to work on Schuber he just tied him in a knot and turned him everywhere but loose Carl Porello over one four for 21 this year and begin to see the mods now of the shadow of the stands out from home plate toward the mouth the irregularities at the edge of the shadow of men and cameras on the top of the stand testing their shadows long long baseboard road for both of these clubs this year road hasn't turned yet but it's going to turn today Robinson dancing Reynolds comes set curve hit down to third off like this of chess he recovers throws the place in time and Rollo is out MacDougall almost had that one get away from him he played it with his chest and the Dodgers had the bases Lord has only got one man so it is now Reynolds ball game to win or lose one round three hits and it is Reynolds and Black to win and lose it well how can you keep adding this thing and making it run any more dramatically so Joe Black and Ali Reynolds are now to win and lose it as at the end of four innings it is hung up at one and one and the games are tied at 3-3 and the Gillette safety raise the company is very happy to bring you these telecasts and folks that reminds me how you fix for blades well if there's no serious objection heard any place around let's pause 10 seconds for station identification WNBT in New York channel four like the way this is running friend is now one and one you need fewer and fewer words Black and Reynolds Dodgers and the Yankees and here in the top of the fifth inning it is Woodling, Norrin and Mark number six seven and eight headers in case this thing goes batting card Gene Woodling who's made two nice catches out in left field first in the first inning off Robinson one run tie one run two hits two arrows from the Yankees one run four hits nor worse at Brooklyn Black's quick curve it on the outside ball strike at the ball drill that's what right field it's gone it's a home run Woodling oh Gene Woodling about the home run that gives the Yankees nine home runs in the series and that fifteen home runs hit by both of them the record for a total number of home runs hit the series is nine with the Yankees hit in four games back in 28 so they've tied their record for total home runs in series good night two on New York which is high and big ball one two Norrin Robinson coming over two talk to Black Harris-Bretzler roll number 28 and caller skin number 17 down in the Brooklyn bullpen everybody is going to be used today is any reason to get them in ball strike one and one so the Yankees now for the second time one run to the good today I just had the big opportunity just now to get the bases loaded but Reynolds choked them off with this one run that one run is immediately nullified on one swing by Gene Woodling ball ball no it's pay up by third Cox is under it makes the catch go all the out one way top of the fifth Billy Martin a second baseman he's over one today lines are out to set a field for a base hit it's not out blocks the ball to be certain it doesn't go through I'm Martin after taking his turn holds on the throw coming into second single in the center this is hit number four for New York and your barge is going now for Ali Reynolds very stride fine athlete one again lost the game in the series and he and Black have shared their decisions against each other and they're going to share this one against each other today go to first was almost quick enough but not quite Martin just getting back our black beat Reynolds in the first game Reynolds beat Black in the fourth game and now here they are up for grabs in the seventh pitch is low outside for what this is Reynolds game to win and Blacks game to win Reynolds Saloon and Blacks to lose the Yankees are ahead two to one Reynolds is about or is over six upon the series we're told that the Yankees nine home runs have tied their own record for most home runs hit in a series or was the Yankees hit nine in a four game series back in 28 and this sets a new record for a strictly seven game series Washington in 25 had hit eight in that seven game series Brown ball hit to the right side play us the first place Reynolds it out Robinson to Hodges not moved on to second through gone and MacDougall who is off the two steps in curve is outside far one and for now out there doing a little figuring with his battery made Joe Black left handers Preacher all 28 the right hander 17 is uskin they continued firing away in the Brooklyn bullpen this is for the model or else there is a whole year's work all wrapped up in an hour half of all game remaining as one hit right back of second Robinson over the first move it up one run what things home run two hits so at the middle of the fifth inning scores New York to Brooklyn one it's a high fly in an easy out for Gene Herman Steve popular young big league outfinger Gene your whiskers look as tough as they come and they're as tough as they look you need a smooth shaving Gillette blue blade to handle that beard you bet come with me it won't take long just slather for a couple of minutes slip in the Gillette blue blade and ease them off boy how good it feels men buy easy shaving Gillette blue blades in this dispenser with safety compartment for used blades 20 for 98 cents 10 for 49 look sharp feel sharp be sharp use Gillette blue blades with the sharpest edges ever honed my friends here at Abbott's field Allie Reynolds with the sun streaming down is ready to move into the last of the fifth inning and moving over to the microphone one of the brilliant broadcasts of our day it is always a real privilege and a pleasure to be associated with him at any time especially in a world series to Gillette is Mel Allen well how does this look to you Mel Rose that pause was meaningful as one is tough to answer it hello there everybody we're ready to go in the last of the fifth inning Joe Black the batter ball one it's a question of the abilities of Reynolds and Black to withstand the strain there are constant appearances in the series strike one fastball one in one Black struck out the third inning Chuck Dressen's had a problem several times in the series of his team being behind the pitcher leading off or coming to bat in that half of the inning there's a bun high and foul how to play down the first baseline a situation that revolved about Erskine for example the other day and that tremendous game Sunday at the stadium decided to go with him and it worked out in this instance of course while Chuck has been in the bullpen this is his boy Joe Black and this is only the fifth inning and so he has no idea about sending any kind of a pinch hitter it's in there for a foul strike and Black becomes the second strikeout victim of Reynolds Reynolds 18th strikeout for short of how Newhousers a record for most strikeouts in the seven game series 22 set in the 1945 World Series Billy Cox struckout grounded a third ganks two Dodgers one lasted a fifth has a high drive to deep right center there goes Norrin lay back throw the wall and it's going to be off the wall Cox is going for at least two bases to throw in the Martin and Cox holds it second with a double Billy Cox lining a high drive off the wall and right center for a double the first hit off Reynolds since you came in last inning Cox's seventh hit in the series and his second double that's the tying run is in scoring position with Pimi Reese coming to bat safe on a throwing error in the first inning by Hill McDougal fly to right in the third and on deck is Duke Snyder one out strike slow curve inside below the shoulders tension mounts with every pitch at home there's no peak to it Cox with his lead away from second base Reese swings and hits at the left field for face it here comes Cox and on the third he's on his way to the plate and he goes in to tie it up and there's Reese one down the second on the fold and he is safe and the Yankee bullpen comes alive and it's big crashy starting to warm up as the Chief seems to be missing just a little bit today as we told you is the question of what are these arms and stay in the gap the one thing he's thrown to the plate was wide and he gave Reese a chance to take second on the throw tie ball game 2-2 and here's Duke Snyder struck out and singled and Casey looking down to the bullpen ground ball wide going to Reynolds covering Reese holds it third up comes Jackie there was a situation where a Mize had gone wide at first and Reynolds had to get over as the ball got by a Mize with a Martin making the play now with Jackie Robinson up line to left and we're safe in the fourth inning beating out a Bunt the scorer now has decided to give Woodling an error on his wide throw that enabled Reese to take second which is the third error on the ball game for the Yankees now with a great base runner on third a great runner up despite the fact that the two out you can look for even a two out squeeze you can look for anything right here at sell them and you'll see the two out squeeze but you could look for it inside ball one Reese on third Jackie Robinson the batter two down two two last the fifth ball to the left side there's the Bunt but he goes foul track one two and one so they did try the two out squeeze he had the perfect setup for it a great runner a fast man plate and a great base runner on third Jackie Robinson asks Larry Getsch to have a look at the ball Reynolds hasn't heard them holler to him yet and there is no sense in trying to pick out any more adjectives to try and indicate a greatness of this series just sit back and watch it Reese on third two balls one strike two down last of the fifth two to the score there's a line drive one run two hits one error and one left on and the score at the end of five innings Yanks two Dodgers two look sharp feel sharp be sharp and listen mister how are you fixed for plays do you have plenty how are you fixed for plays you better check please make sure you have a nut also worn out blade makes shaving mighty tough how are you fixed for plays better look to let the plays we mean ready now for the top of the sixth inning Jackie Robinson got good wood on that last ball as you saw a screaming liner that gill mcdougal clutched and our camera was on gill and just at that point Robinson who was headed for first stock short did a sort of a jackknife with his feet or a bicycle motion through his hands up in the air he had done a remarkable job of getting a hold of that one but mcdougal did just his remarkable job grabbing it now in the Dodger bullpen you see preacher roll the left-hander and Carlos can the right-hander heating up you got to have everybody ready now there's no more baseball after this afternoon till spring training they'll need a manager hesitate using everybody if they can possibly use to help them out your five inning totals the Yankees two runs four hits three hours two left on the Dodgers two run six hits no errors and five men left on base scoring has gone longest like the series first one team and then the other Bill risotto the batter it's a strike Bill grounded at first and double the left big crash he knew was warming up for the Yankees is now resting as a smash how about that play the great Peewee he and risotto have shown you some tremendous shortstopping in this series Peewee taking a base in away from a shortstop rival with a tremendous backhand catch of the low liner mickey mannell struck out and grounded to first all right ball one yanks two Dodgers two six thinning high outside ball two Joe black pressing a little bit out there inside ball three this is black's third start in the series and Reynolds fourth appearance who starts in two relief jobs and therefore strike three and one now the wear and tear may tell black 28 Reynolds 34 the difference in ages may be a factor it may not there's a fly ball out the right field that ball is going going it is Yankees are back out in front three to two in the battle of the homerons and there's check dresser over to water cooler contemplating this situation looking down toward the bullpen now and see how the boys are coming this series will go down as one of the greatest of all time will go down as the series called the battle of the homerons high ball on demise way behind Campanella to the screen the Yankees now have had 10 home runs breaking the record they set just a little while ago for a seven game series high ball two and as a matter of fact that is a brand new record for any length series from four games on because no team has ever hit as many as 10 home runs in a world series whether it be four five six or seven games line drive to right field in there for a base hit taking a hop high for in the first place but my eyes is there how about that for the comparatively shallow right field my is lumbering down the line and for a lower that rifle arm that lose to Hodges it's been done before throwing a runner out from right and now Chuck Dressen is walking out to the mound with their about to come up we may have the preacher or we may have Erskine from a standpoint of the hitter a left hand batter you may have a left hand pitcher or Chuck may decide to stick with Joe we'll see only a magnificent play by Reese enable black to get the first hitter and we're going to have I believe the preacher it's going to be the preacher preacher roll coming in to relieve Joe black and Joe black as he leaves the mound will be given a tremendous hand he should he has pitched magnificent in this series so preacher oh comes on Joe black will shortly leave and Chuck leads the way and a hand for Joe black the great right hander who carried the Dodgers to their penance and who pitched tremendously in this series having made two starts and gone to the sixth inning today and has pitched reasonably well today but after all this is the last game you can't afford to take even one chance so the preacher comes in he relieved yesterday and now Billy Lowe's who started yesterday has replaced row in the Dodger bullpen number 17 is Carl Erskine who was warming up along with the preacher preacher row who came in in the ninth inning yesterday and performed so nobly came in the ninth inning yesterday with one out and got the side out the bases were loaded and he's coming on now to pitch to Barra the Yankees having hit two home runs today and hit 10 in the series more home runs than have ever been hit by any one club in any World Series from four games on the two teams together have hit 16 home runs more home runs than any two teams have ever hit in any World Series of whatever length Yogi Barra takes the curve outside for the ball Barra flies the center and grounded the second into a double play Yankees three the Dodgers two top of the sixth after a scoreless first three innings the teams have taken turns in scoring one at a time beginning with a fourth inning outside ball two two balls no strikes this is Rose third appearance made one start and beat the Yankees over the stadium last Friday all together he's worked total nine innings allowed six hits three runs walk five struck out five there's a strike two and one in Rose Lone appearance in the 1949 World Series he beat the Yankees at the stadium one to nothing Mayes on first one out one in sixth inning Yankees three Dodgers two strike two called slow curve Yogi says he doesn't like it Larry gets it he looked good to him there's one thing you notice about preacher Rose he may start out behind you but he'll come back and get even with you and the ball the strike counts for the most part and then he'll take it from there strike three slow curve at him riffling and missing and now you see the reason among others that Mayes was not running preacher Rose coming in in the clutch and striking out Yogi Berra here's Gene Woodling blind to left and homework of course the reason that it was Rowe instead of Erskine in this relieved situation the left hand banners are coming up Berra now Woodling and should either of those gotten on or if either of them does get on with Woodling now up you have Nora next two down it's fairly cool today it's top coat weather but you can be sure that as far as those men on the diamond are concerned it's mighty hot as a wrap back through the middle of a second in the center Mayes holds a second as the Duke sauces back into Robinson Woodling's second hit seven hits for the Yanks now let's see Hank Bowers getting up off the bench taking off his jacket and he may be going up to hit for Nora he is he's going over the back rack as Stengel now counters with a right hand hitter against the left hand pitcher Bower has had only one hit in the series that was in the second game it was here it was in the first inning a looping Stengel to right center he's had only one out of 17 Nora and had three hits in the series three out of ten so Hank Bower comes in with Mayes on second Woodling on first two outs top of the sixth inning Yankees three Dodgers two low inside ball one there are many factors to be taken into consideration as you watch the game again with hoping that you will not misunderstand the remark no criticism intended but rather an actual fact Mayes is not a fast runner and therefore there is a possibility that even if Bowers should come through with a Stengel Mayes might be thrown out the plate or he might be held at third it's something to look for in other words as a roller foul down the third baseline one ball one strike Red and I have been telling you throughout the series almost in the beginning at least of the second game how important each pitch has been and we're constantly repeating it but it's true down ball foul down the third baseline strike two one and two and particularly today we reach a peak in that department because every time a man knocks his arm and throws a ball a world's championship rides on it Preacher Rose is an amazing individual he is concerned about the situation he's not afraid of it he is cagey he's coming Mayes on second Woodling on first two down Bower hitting for Noren one ball two strikes Yanks three Dodgers two top of the sixth and our roll takes a little too much time Bowers steps out roll backs off the hill there's a ground ball hit the third Cox first the ball and basically loaded that's the as he tried to play that short hop the ball skipped by and Pee Wee Reese making a magnificent back up on the play it's an error for Cox and it is his first of the series Bowers a very fast runner and that is why Cox had to charge that ball and they're very tricky you don't get to it just at the right instant that ball takes a little short hop and skipped by you sometimes but take your head off in the meantime to Pee Wee Reese for backing up the play to keep it from going into the outfield prevent a score so the bases are loaded and here's Martin five center single center two down whether the error will be costly not remains to be seen ball one but outside Johnny Mayes on third Gene Woodling off second power off first Martin pounds it off one and one there's power on first base Hodges moving in behind him Bill McKinley the umpire Gene Woodling's on second and of course Johnny Mayes over third Yankees three Dodgers two what a tremendous situation this is right now it's preacher Rowan Billy Martin two men out one ball one strike Mayes off third Woodling off second power off first outside ball two two and one Larry gets very deliberate in his calls and so we have to hold back with him outfield shaded a bit toward left there's a high fly ball in center field Duke Snyder getting under it the wind blows it in a little he comes in makes the catch and the preacher is pitches out of it one run three hits one error three left on and so at the middle of the sixth inning the story is Yankees three Dodgers two ancient days men looked like this please tell why Everett well shaving was a painful job they didn't have Gillette if they had lived in modern times used blue blades super keen well then they would have looked like this yes we see what you need to look sharp every time you shave you feel sharp and beyond the ball just be sharp you Gillette blue blades or the twinkies like the shades of bow Hank Bauer who went into bat for Noren and reached base on the air by Cox is now playing right field last half the sixth inning and the Dodgers have Campanella Hodges and Schuba as their first three battered Joe Black who showed the results of heavy duty in this series and was removed may find that his pitching counterpart in this series Allie Reynolds it may be battling the same situation arm fatigue the Dodgers in the last inning hit some balls real hard off Reynolds after Allie had come in the fourth thing of the base is loaded none out for leaving Lopat and got out of the jam with one run being scored that charged the Lopat only a great catch by MacDougall on a vicious liner by Robinson saved Allie in the last of the fifth so here we are now last the sixth three to New York high ball on the Campanella Roy bounce to Lopat and beat out a bump on him but now the chief is working there's a liner into the right field for a base hit taking on a hot five hour throw comes back into Martin and now the tying run is on first and Hodges up and the signal goes out to the Yankee ball fan or big pressure to get up there's Rashi getting up and maybe someone else let's see possibly Bob Kazawa or Tom Gorman it's Bob Kazawa a left-handed Hodges has hit two balls hard today won the deep center and a liner to left it's a ground ball out to Rosino Rosino to Martin for one back to my double play that's the seventh double play for New York and again Hodges hit the ball hard Rosino had a tough chance to handle as he flashed to his right that ball I don't know whether you can see it on your screen or not but that ball was well hit and now Casey Stengel is going out to talk to Barrett not going out to talk to Reynolds you're talking to Yogi he wants to find out how Reynolds is I presume or either wants to tell him to go out and tell Ali how to pitch to Schuber or to remind him about how they want to pitch to him any number of things of course Casey knows Reynolds and he might have told Yogi go out there and ask Ali does he think he's got it or not and Chica's got it where the heart is and he's had his rest he's got it where the arm is but after all he and Joe Black both are human being and they've really done their duty in this series so here we are with George Schuber single to center and struck out two down last the sixth three to New York curve is swung on hit sharply the second grabbed by Martin demise sides retired the ending started out promising but Hodges sharp wrap was gobbled up by the scooter and converted converted into the double play to keep play at the ending no runs one hit no errors no one left on and the score at the end of six innings with totals the Yankees three run seven hits three errors five left on Brooklyn two run seven hits one error and five men left on the Gillette safe to razor company is happy to bring you these telecasts and folks that reminds me how you fix for blades and now let's pause 10 seconds for station identification WNBT New York Channel four while the action was going on in the last of the sixth inning in the during course of the final batter Jim Turner the Yankee pitching coach went down to the bullpen to talk to both Rash and Kazawa Kazawa sat down Rash is still warming up and now Turner is signaling again he's out in front of the Yankee dugout and let's see Reynolds is scheduled to lead off in the top of the seventh there's Casey walking around I don't know what they're signaling about Ralph Hauke is running in from the bullpen he can't get the signal now Turner is going down there himself number 31 with a myth Charlie Silvera there's a big build up to a terrific letdown seems it's always going on was it turned out to get a mid out there unless uh less Hauke is going to be used as a pinch hitter Hauke definitely is going to hit for Reynolds Ralph Hauke it was called out of the bullpen and he is going to hit for Reynolds which would tend to indicate that Reynolds must have hurt his back yesterday or has hurt his arm or just doesn't feel right we can only speculate now back to down to the bullpen go Ray Scarborough and Johnny Sane and here's Ralph Hauke batting for Reynolds seventh inning strike Hauke is the Yankees number three catcher plays very sparingly and that's why we were amazed when we saw him running in that he was going to be the pinch hitter for Reynolds as a hit smashed a third Cox bounces it picks it up throws in time and the batter is Gil McDougal grounded as short grounded a third grounded a second most managers like to save their best pinch hitters for the latter stages of the game particularly when they are ahead and so that may have been the reason for his using Hauke here instead of someone perhaps like Jim Brideweiser Gil McDougal one down top for seven the Yankees three Dodgers two outside ball one slow delivery ball two that was real slow big crashy nearest the stands and Johnny Sane warming up for New York strike one got the inside corner two balls one strike seventh inning one out took a good cut at that one strike two two and two just over the Robinson's head dropping into right center for a base hit Carl Frillo tosses back into Robinson a soft liner and McDougal is on with a single to right field right center his fourth hit of the series up comes Rizzuto grounded the first double left in the line to short that prompts renewed activity in the Dodger bullpen number 17 Carlerskin number 30 Billy Lowe's Chuck Dreson to the front of the dugout see what's going on down there went on one out Yanks three Dodgers two seventh inning and the final third of the ball game unless we go extra innings Bill Bunt's beautifully down third baseline Cox up to the ball nice play and he gets him Billy Cox making a beautiful play on an excellent buck it's a sacrifice for the scooter though his intention was to try and beat that one out with one out already so now with two down McDougal on second the batter's Mickey Mantle struck out grounded the first and hit a home run now it'll switch around and bat right handed against preacher Rowe yesterday when a similar situation arose in the ninth inning when the preacher came in with runners on first and second and one out Mantle swung around on him and though the catcher didn't step wide of the plate yet Rowe didn't give him anything good to hit at and walked him then got the next two men who were left hand batters as a liners left center for base hit there comes McDougal rounding third coming in the score as Snyder's throw goes into race the magnificent Mickey just 20 years old driving in his second run his fifth in the series and his tenth base hit that ties Mantle with Snyder and Reese for most hits in the series at 10 strike Yankees four the Dodgers two the Yankees have scored one run in each of the fourth, fifth, sixth and now the seventh innings Mies walk single left and single right two for two all off black as a fly ball to right field going over for his frillo into the bullpen foul territory makes the catch Mies it's a foul fly two for yellow one run two hits no errors one left on and throughout the middle of the seventh inning the score is Yankees four Dodgers two when you talk to big league baseball and football players about saving you'll find that just about every one of them uses the Gillette super speed razor Saul Rogovan says the Gillette super speed makes shaving much faster and easier now listen to Norm Stanley in my opinion no amount of money can buy a handier easier shaving razor now a tip from Ken Kavanaugh for easy and refreshing shave every time I'll take Gillette super speed over all others men with the Gillette super speed razor you change blades instantly twist zip twist you get this superb shaving instrument plus blue blade dispenser with safety compartment for used blades and styrene travel case for only one dollar the new the new Yankee pitcher now is Vic Rashi who worked yesterday's game and was removed in the eighth inning down the Dodger bullpen you've got Erskine and Lowes working away number 17 Erskine on the 30 Lowes and in the Yankee bullpen Urisby stands as Ray Scarborough and Uris the foul line is Johnny Sane now yesterday Vic Rashi in his second start of the series won seven and two-thirds innings was removed in the eighth Vic all year long and last couple of years has been a great competitor but a pitcher who has required his full quota of rest to be effective he has never been an effective relief pitcher if you will check back through the record you'll find that he seldom very rarely has ever been used in relief I don't believe he's used in relief at all this season but he's coming on low back work three innings and Reynolds three Reynolds went three innings allowed three hits walk one struck out two and allowed one run now Joe Collins has gone in to play first base as Casey Stingle ships to the defense the better now is Carl Farillo to strike Yanks four Dodgers two last to the seventh Farillo twice is grounded to third there'll be a lot of moves being made in the next little while inside for a ball one-in-one with Erskine in row rather with Erskine and Lowe's heating up we may have pinch-hitter for Rowe to stop side ball two two-in-one paid attendance today 33,195 two balls one strike on Carl Farillo ball three inside Jake Pitler way out of that coach's box hollering words of encouragement down to Farillo ball four Farillo walks so the pot keeps boiling Rocky Nelson is going up to bat for Preacher Rowe number 32 at the bat rack Chuck Dresson the Dodger skipper coaching at third making his move Rocky Nelson hitting for Preacher Rowe Yanks four Dodgers two last for seven Farillo on first no one out one outside Rashi is having a little trouble with his control and now Casey Stengel has switched to his bullpen he has gotten Bob Kazawa to throw in place of Scarborough left-hander same the right-hander strike one one ball one strike one ball one strike one on no outs last for seven four two New York tying run the plate for Brooklyn ball two outside there's cookie lavagetto out in front of the Dodger dugout slapping his hands together Doc went a little trainer just to pull out two balls one strike Rashi was just come on has had difficulty with his control to walk Farillo to one count on Nelson batting for Rowe and then you have the top of the Dodger order there's a fly ball foul down the right field line and out of play count is two and two there's Casey Stengel slapping his hands together as he comes off the Yankee bench and I'm telling they just coming off the benches with every pitch Billy Martin goes in to talk to Rashi I remember Red Barber and I who had the privilege of working the 1947 World Series together remember one thing that we said when it was all over it where are we going for a long read memory the way we feel now and I know you do too this has been a series never be forgotten two balls two strikes for a long first Nelson looks a high pop to short the pseudo hundred he almost lost in the sun had a little difficulty Billy Cox the batter struck out grounded a third and doubled the right center a grim determination on Billy's face the seriousness of the situation exemplified and revealed beautifully by our fine cameras ball one just went outside now you've gotten to the stage of the game where both sides are going to be little touchy about the calls and those close pitches LaVighetto just hollered out to Yogi when Yogi turned said something to Larry Getz one ball no strikes ball two outside there's Cookie he's the cheerleader right now look at the other Dodgers in the dugout tense and over in the Yankee dugout tension as they lean forward occasionally moving around shifting positions slapping hands together no more baseball after today this is it every pitch is it ball three low there's Cookie he's just tasting situation and there are the Yankees in the dugout there's Jim Turner with his knees crossed boys moving around and about and the fans in the stands are doing the same free balls no strikes one out one on four two New York strike one frame one and the bullpens both are busy Erskine and Lowe to Zava and Sane strike two full count Yogi and Cox at the plate Billy looking down at Chuck there's Dresden hollering up there Grillo on first base one out we'll see whether or not he'll be running with the pitch most likely we'll see there he goes pitches one on hit out the right pale for a base hit Grillo on his way to third holds up as a throw is it hits Grillo on the leg and then Barrett goes over to grab it and so Billy Cox lines a singular right on the three two pitch and now the lead run comes to the plate for the Dodgers boy I'm telling you the excitement rides and rides ever higher these batters just won't leave these pitchers alone I'll tell you there and here's one of the most dangerous clutch hitters in the game spark plug of the Dodgers the captain the little colonel Pee Wee Rees and there's Casey Stengel he's worried and now Jim Turner they signaled down to the bullpen and on deck is Duke Snyder so that's the picture hello on second Cox on first one out yanks for Dodgers two last of the seventh three pounds of off strike one guess you heard that one hit up against the wire screen we're wondering here right now that what Casey will do firing the long ball whether Rashi will even pitch to Snyder let's wait until that time comes low outside for a ball on ball one strike there's Casey hollering to Yogi Grillo off second Cox off first one out yanks for Dodgers two last of the seventh Pee Wee at the plate and Rashi ready outside ball two the curve two and one Rashi obviously is not sharp his control is not fair two balls one strike one away low ball three we get Cookie Lama ghetto he really leading the cheers in the Dodger dugout and now Casey Stengel coming out of the Yankee dugout is Chuck Gresson stands at third wondering Casey knows that if the Pee Wee should walk he got the Duke coming up to the bases loaded or a pitch that might be too good to Reese could be given quite a ride Casey gives Rashi a pat on the back to leave him in this is a time when regardless of who you are you need more than just a pat on the back down to the bullpen Kazaba and Sane both getting ready first skin and low stopping to watch the action strike two got the inside corner so you've got a full count man alive this crowd is ready to roar they're coming up out of their seats almost in every pitch Yanks four Dodgers two seventh innings one out Barillo on second Tucks on first Reese the batter to count three and two we'll watch the runners playing it safe ball four they're loaded up and now to the dugout out of the dugout into the mound goes Casey Stengel and the Duke is the batter so case may bring in Bob Kazaba a left hand pitcher we're not certain we'll watch him you're gonna have somebody come in Kazaba Casey holler to play down fire Larry gets it's Kazaba a left hand pitcher here he comes while Stengel and Rashi await the arrival of Kazaba off to the right of home plate the Duke with Jackie Robinson and the Dodger bat boy and Jackie is talking to the Duke boy here's your chance off Kazaba one eighth lost eight for the Yankees from wine dot Michigan a six foot to 200 pounder blue eyes blonde hair who appeared in the World Series last year in relief pitched one inning in relief last year he's had a lot of tough assignments in his career but none tougher than this one now down in the Yankee bullpen replacing Kazaba is the man a lot of folks thought might start today's game Tom Gorman he's warming up next to the railing meantime it's Johnny Sane still throwing saw the stage is set for another great peak it's been one peak on top of another and what could be the greatest of all World Series on first base is Peewee Reese on second base is Belly Cox on third base is Carl Farrell one out the Yankees four the Dodgers two and the Duke get back so here we are back one fastball Kazaba has a fair curve and a good fastball outside ball one one in one Jim Turner hollers out to Martin about something Freeman aboard went out the Dodgers battling back foul ball over the Yankee dugout straight to one and two Farrell calls time now to go out and talk to Kazaba and there's Casey Hart clubbing a mile a minute and who can blame him the Yankee skipper hoping to achieve four consecutive World Championships the Dodgers in here battling apparently to achieve their first and this is the day it's going to be decided and this could be the moment Jake Pittler cutting up a storm at first Freeman leading away the Duke takes a curve inside two and two and the crowd oooing an eye two balls two strikes ball three on third pox on second reese on first and a full count on Duke Snyder one out here's the payoff pitch it's a high pop up the infield fly rule is called the batter is automatically out McGoogle has it so an intense moment there and the tension still holds because the bases are still loaded and the batter is Jackie Robinson under the infield fly rule if a batter it's a pop-up which in the judgment of the empire can be handled by an infielder with runners on first and second or first second and third and less than two out the batter is automatically out the runners go at their own risk so Bob Kazawa is going to stay in there and pitch to the right hand batter Jackie Robinson sometimes you can look for a switch now here comes Casey out of the dugout let's see he may still switch I don't know Casey goes back in besides the left Kazawa stay with it three runners leading away right one foul tipped into off the hand of Yogi no balls one strike Robinson lying to left beat out a button lying to third and the Dodgers in the dugout tense with anxiety and then the Yankee dugout they're tense with anxiety I tell you the truth it just got to the point now where it's just past tense even though we're playing in the present Frillo on third Cox on second Rhys on first inside for a ball and counts one-on-one man with every pitch that's thrown the championship flag is flying Kazawa decides to back off a little Jim Turner comes to the front of the Yankee dugout hauling something to Kazawa one errant pitch can make the difference just outside ball two Yogi didn't like to call now Getz says something back to Yogi veins are starting to pop in the necks of everybody around now that's a rough and tough foul ball hit long and deep far into the roof and out of the ballpark two and two as Kaz taking a look at that one on third base is Frillo on second base Cox on first base Rhys yanks for Dodgers two seventh inning two down two two on Robinson ground ball foul the Gillette Safety Razor company delighted to be able to bring you all these peak moments of World Series drama I just don't believe there's been anything ever any greater in baseball three runners ready to lead away that's a high pop-up who's gonna get it here comes Billy Martin digging hard and he makes the catch at the last second there was a ball that the wind held up and even though it was just a high pop-up Billy Martin still had a lunge for the ball man it's been a great series it still is we got two more innings at least to go and a great job of clutch pitching by Bob Kazaba no runs one hit no errors and three big men left on the score at the end of seven innings Yankees for Dodgers two when you face the world to feel sharp on the ball indeed just be shocked skin your whiskers off with the modern Gillette and now Carl Hirsken returns to the wars for the Dodgers a great courageous right-hander who was knocked out in his first start in this series as the Yankees beat him 7-1 but who came back last Sunday in what will go down and has already gone down as one of the greatest ball games in the history of the major leagues and pitched such sensational ball after Johnny Meis had clipped him for the three-run homer that gave the Yankees a 5-4 lead retiring the final 19 men to rack up a 6-5 11-8 victory that was a dynamic ball game all the way and one that is tops for thrill so here's Carl Hirsken who finished that game with a blister with a torn blister at that Clyde King number 23 and Ben Wade number 46 and the Dodger bullpen as red told you earlier as I had occasion to mention in the beginning of the show today they're going to use everybody if they have to so here we go now into the eighth inning Yankees four Dodgers two and the batter is Farah the pitcher is Hirsken so high pop up and a short right Robinson out for a low end for a low says he'll take it Yogi had climbed the center grounded the second and a double play struck out and fly to right up comes Gene Woodling Hirsken before this relief appearance it worked 16 innings in the series giving up 11 hits and nine runs walking nine striking out 10 winning one losing one Woodling applied to left homeward single to center high ball one a lot of pitches in there for a call strike one and one given that big motion took a little off the fastball low outside ball two two and one a line drive to Hodges two away up comes Hank Bauer safe on an error in the sixth inning when he batted for Noran with Preacher O having come on that point to relieve Joe Black Yanks four Dodgers two eighth inning a little outside ball one perhaps a little low for you late viewers the Yankees scored first in the fourth inning Rizzuto double scored on Mayer's single outside ball two the Dodgers retaliated in the last of the fourth Snyder single Robinson Campanella beat out Bunts the low pattern starters taken out Reynolds came in Hodges lined to left to get Snyder in but Schuben Frillo struck out and grounded to third respectively inside ball three Yankees went ahead in the fifth inning on Woodling's home over the right field wall two to one the Dodgers came right back to tied two two on a double by Coxness single by Rizz foul back Hank had the green light on a three nothing pitch Yanks went ahead three to two in the sixth inning on Mantle's home over the right field wall and they made it four to two in the seventh McDougal single Rizzuto sacrifice and Mantle single to left that was off the preacher so much four to two eighth inning two outs and three one to count on Bauer he held up and the pitch is a little higher a little outside ball four up comes Billy Martin getting a round of applause for his fine catch on what normally would have been a routine play on Robinson's prop up to end the dramatic seventh inning the wind held it up and Billy had to really go hard he's got something smeared under his right eye I don't know whether that's intentional or not Johnny Myers will often put his finger in some water and into the black dirt rub under his eyes protect against sun the glare of the sun that may be what Billy has done too as a liner in the center of the Duke coming he has no runs no hits no errors one left on and so at the middle of the eighth inning the score is Yankees four Dodgers two when his teams at best you find Birdie Tebbitt's fiery American lead catcher giving the bird to the other club but after the game see the change Birdie most anybody would know you shave with a Gillette blue blade I always use them never have any trouble getting quick clean shapes 20 for 98 cents and for 49 look sharp feel sharp be sharp use Gillette blue blades with the sharpest edges ever home last half the eighth inning firing extra innings there are nine outs left in the world series or possibly six outs that times a record for a seven game series most strikeouts by a club 48 that's the 48th Dodger to go down swinging or at least 48 strikeouts against the Dodgers collectively the Chicago Cubs in the 45 world series in seven games at that number of strikeouts strike call to Gil Hodges Gills hit three balls hard today Mallow went back to the center field fence to take his fly he lined the left with the base of loaded in the fourth to get one run in and grounded he shortened to double play now Larry gets is warning somebody in the Dodger dugout can't see who it is it was over in the extreme right corner of the dugout the extreme right corner way over into the corner can't see who it is now he's throwing him out I don't know who it is and that would like to get the identity of that but I believe the only person ever to been thrown out of a world series was Joe Medwy and somebody has been thrown off the Dodger bench and Larry gets it get out of there he's angry and all it is is a cookie let's see Ralph Franka it is Ralph Franka and if memory serves me correctly he is the second player in world series history ever to be thrown out certainly the first non-combatant so to speak inside for a ball that is to say it's not in the game itself you can't blame them boys and girls ladies and gentlemen this is rough and south curve inside ball two and one George Schuba on deck it's Gil Hodges right now there's Schuba yanks for Dodgers two eighth inning a ground ball hit the third McGoogle has it throws across to Collins and throws him off the back that's two throwing arrows for McGoogle in today's game it is the fourth era for the Yankees and we're going to have a pinch hitter Andy Papco batting for Schuba Tommy Holmes has run down to the Dodger bullpen to loosen up he'll go into play left field Gil McGoogle with four errors in the series size the record for most errors in a seven game world series four Pepper Martin had that dubious distinction in the 1934 series with the Cardinals oh we'll see whether that'll be a costly one or not but the tying runs the plate for Brooklyn and of course more than that immediate prospect is the fact that more equal with it puts extra pressure on the pitcher foul balls like one a lot easier working with two outs and none on than one out and one on John McGraw once said if it weren't for errors baseball it wouldn't be as exciting a game as it is serve inside one and one one ball one strike one out one on the Yankees four Dodgers two eighth inning inside ball two two and one all three three and one and brings Casey off the bench again Harle Carillo is the next batter like to vote count Carillo on deck strike three striking out and thereby a new record has been established by the Dodgers of 49 strikeouts for seven game series erasing the old mark to the cuff which the Dodgers just tied a moment ago in this inning Harle Carillo steps in grounded to third twice in walk like one has a long drive to left field quickly going back and he's got it that ball started out had the folks standing up no runs no hits one error and one left on and the store at the end of eight innings of play Yankees four Dodgers do the Yankees four errors so far today Tommy Holmes, by the way, is going into play left field for the Dodgers, as we indicated to you a moment ago. The Yankees' two errors in this game are too short of the record. Most errors for one club in a single series game, the White Sox in 1906, again in 1917, and the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1909. Bob Cazalva getting a hand as he comes up to lead off in the line funding. Strike one, Perler's in pitching for the Dodgers. Third Perler, ball one, one-and-one. Bow ball back to first out of play, up onto the roof. Cameraman busy up there, working away. Casey Stengel leaning up against the post. Man, everybody likes to have something to lean up against right now. Just outside, ball two, two-two. Two balls, two strikes. Bow ball again, out of play. In the event, you wish to thank the head a little bit. Erskine is the scheduled lead-off man the last of the night. You'll have to consider for him on the top of the order, Cox and Reese. Slowbounder head out to Jackie Robinson. One away. Here's Gil McDougal. Grounded a short, third, second, and single to right. One for four. Clyde King, 23. Ben Wade, 46. And the Dodger both in. Heading up against two possibilities. On the top of the ninth, or the Dodger's tying it. And the last of the ninth. Strike one to McDougal. Ball one, one-on-one. A lead-off delivery is low outside, ball two. Two balls, one strike. Four boards, still has one-on-one. Now it slides to the two-off. All off, upstairs. Strike two, two-two. Line dry right back through the middle on the center for the base hit. Snyder tosses back into Robinson and McDougal holds on at first. And the single to center. It's his first series hit. Up comes Rizzuto. Grounded the first double to left, lined the short and sacrificed. It was in a similar situation in the seventh inning with one out that McDougal singled. Rizzuto dropped the butt down with his dual purpose trying to move the runner to second and trying to figure it out himself. He was thrown out on a nice play by Cox and then Mickey Mannell delivered a two-out single that scored McDougal. Dodgers realized that Rizzuto was hitting run as well as butt so they're trying to hold McDougal as close as possible. Ball one. They do not figure McDougal to try to steal. Particularly. So you have to watch for every possibility. There's the superimposition so that you can see the base runner as well as the batter. The strike, one-on-one at the inside part of the plate below the shoulders. See Phil looking down toward third now as to set a holler at him. One ball, one strike. One out. Top of the line. Yanks four. Dodgers two. Pitch out. They thought they might be going. They might be putting on the hit and run. They didn't. Two and one to count. Now there's Rizzuto again looking to set it. Phil steps out as another look. Now dressing whistles to Campanella. So we'll see. Don't be surprised if it's hit and run or another pitch out. The first thing he just got back has that whistle from Chuck again to Campanella. Roy looked around. You hear that whistle? That's the best in the dugout, getting Campanella's attention. The battle of which goes on. A lot goes on in the ball game. You seldom have a chance to see it here. Throw over. Two balls, one strike. Again. That one almost won away. High pop up. Bow back to third. Billy Cox drifting over toward the stands and in. Two outs and here's Mickey Mantle. Struck out. Rounded the first homerton signal. Driven in two runs. Regardless of the outcome of the series, this young man's name will be emblazoned high among the stars. Mickey Mantle. Duke Snyder. Johnny Mides. Pee Wee Reece. Phil Rizzuto. Billy Cox. Barillo and Papsco. And Barra, you can go on and on. Ball one. As a matter of fact, it really isn't fair to single out anyone. Of course, we didn't name any of the pitchers. They're all in for their share of glory. But every man has fought his heart out in this series. Round balls. Beautifully by Gil Hodges to convert it into the put out. No runs. One hit. No errors. One left on. And the score. At the end of eight and a half innings, Yankees four. Dodgers two. Bobby Bates. I know. The Gillette safety razor company is happy to bring you these telecasts. And folks, that reminds me. Are you fixed for blades? Here we are. Bobby Morgan is going to come up to bat for Carl Erskine. Right hand hitter. This will be the half inning that will either determine the world's champion or whether we continue on into extra innings. We can determine it one way or the other. So Bobby Morgan comes in the bat for Erskine. Millie Cox and Pee Wee Rees to follow. Gorman and Sane in the Yankee bullpen. The Dodger bullpen alive. King and Wade. Yanks four Dodgers two. Last of the night. High foul out of play. Back a third strike one. Young Bobby Morgan from Oklahoma City. Batting for Carl Erskine. You can be sure nobody's left this ballpark either. As the fly ball hits the left, Whitling back there has it. One away. More of a high drive than the fly ball. Here's Billy Cox. Struck out. Double the right center, single the right. He's had two for four. Dodgers still in there battling. Strike one. Now the Yankees have three men warming up. Gorman, Sane and Ray Scarborough. Kerr, a little old. One ball, one strike. Wraps are short. Hearts are beating rapidly. Falses are racing. On every pitch. Strike two. He fouls it back to the screen. One and two. Kerr is hit sharp for the second. Martin has it. Close to Collins. Two away. And now coming to bat is Little Colonel. Pee Wee Rees. And on deck there's a guy named Duke Snider. And so the situation is right now with Kazawa and Rees. Casey Stingle hollers, hey look out for the bun. Time calls. McDougall calls time. He wants to say something to Kazawa. Casey hollers, look out for the bun. Because what the Dodgers need is a man on with a Duke coming up to have that tying run on the plate. Inside ball one. Chuck Dressen slapping his hands together. The way this series has been going, anything can happen and it has. Hi ball two. Two balls, no strikes. There's Chuck Dressen giving his signal to the Pee Wee. Billy Martin trying to come in and settle Kazawa down. Strike one, two and one. Sorry, he's trying to rattle Kazawa. He's trying to get on any way he can. He wants to bring the Duke up to set it up for the tying run at least. Time tall, greased up south. Any maneuver to rattle that pitcher get him off his stride. Part of the game. Two balls, one strike. Two down, last half of the main funding. Yanks four Dodgers two. Strike two, two two. Now honored Yogi from the Yankee fence. Yogi looked around. Well off and we're still alive. Up against the screen that's where the boys are doing the radio version of the series are sitting. Jack Frickhouse and Al Helper two balls, two strikes, two outs, last one and funding. Yanks four Dodgers two. And the crowd is standing. They're standing. Just took a look. Most of them are standing. Bow ball hit the handle of the bat. Anticipatory are not. Policemen have just moved into the Yankee dugout and over to the Dodger dugout. As a fly ball hit out the left field Whitland getting under it and the Yankee's a champion. So look at barrel piggyback riding Bob Kizala. The Yankees for the 4th consecutive time and for their founding at Kizala for a tremendous relief job. Look at him go. While the Yankees are happy they had to do it the hard way again. They've always won the big one and again they did it. In the final score, the New York Yankees four runs, ten hits, four errors the bricks and Dodgers two runs, eight hits, one error.

Four years managing the Yankees, four tenants four world titles. It was a great world series and congratulations for the both world clubs and especially to the again New York Yankees. Well Red, as you and I both said before the game started today this has been one of the most terrific World Series of all time one of the most dramatic and it was just a shame that one of these two teams had to lose. And we said before the game, I think that every fan, every baseball observer all the reporters felt the same way that it was no disgrace to lose and that the winner had nothing to really be arrogant about if I might use that little harsh word. It was just somebody had to win today and both teams just covered themselves with glory from start to finish. Well now before we get too far gone the totals are 4-10-4 for the Yankees 2-8-1 for the Dodgers the winning pitcher is Reynolds giving him his sixth win he now equals Gomez with six wins roughing of course his 1-7 three pups in that field however they pitching hero for New York make no mistake about it Cassava who came on and stopped the Dodgers in the breach when they had their beginning in the seventh a big chance.
