story is fever he has struck out five Oakland A's players in a row and he has a super fastball and outstanding control of it he's touring a few breaking balls but that just sort of frosting on a cake once in a while he is throwing the fence ball pie the age batteries as of right now leads it off in the last of the second inning Houston had caught a game Sunday it's a ball very hard is last four

in troubles he failed to do nothing lasts as at this time for the second half of the ballgame here again as Monty more Thank You Jimmy and Joe Rudi who's out in left field is playing Cleon Jones very deep here's hunters first fiction at the curve in there for a called strike Jones at seven home runs in the last 10 games the best played this year he really was on a hitting tear at the time they needed in the most hunters those of all pie on the outside corner swinging strike two [Music] you can survive this first-inning troubles against some pitchers but a guy like fever who's really got it tonight when you get behind by 2 to him early the bouncing ball 100 here that he's got this when those the first for the app went away I didn't hurt nearly a very very fine fielding pitcher has jumped a little while ago a complete athlete but early in this game though he got out of it without it hurting him he did drop a ball hit back to him it was John Miller is that plate now who hit it [Music] yes play Miller strictly as a pull hitter and hunter misses inside at high ball one Oakland playing this series without their regular centerfielder for the year very sensational young player with a name of Billy north breaking ball hits the knees for I called Frank one of our milder [Music] 1 1 pitch holding to a single fill their hip one just below the orange Brian in right field inject and played it perfectly [Music] long drive by Miller that just missed the powerful area well it's got to be one of the hard hit singles of the year I did [Music] I hear Jerry Gaudi [Music] Jackson is that to plays to make in the outfield tonight and he's made one front row he played this pitch drive off the wall perfectly and didn't even have to throw it back in to hold the man there goes the runner the big hit up into the air hole over in the left go ready you'll get it and Milner goes back to first [Music] suit out a number five in the batter now is down hard really crunched up the A's by hitting one on the inside the bag at third for a double is last time up the a is top field has been playing him well over into right-center and very shallow series pitching him out there but higher that's going inside pitch and hotter ripped it Hiller draws the throw at first it's a very short lady as their Mets lead do not think they've had six hits that's barb side are on it's one and on rape off to the east catcher who wears contact lenses just ask for time with the plate and he's having to adjust one of them or something blowing his eye or what back to play hunters stick to the plate I fly ball to left field not very deep Rudi coming in and he's riding right with it he's got it and that's all for the Mets here in the fifth inning the score after five inning to pray the Mets to the age of eight first inning with a home on the on of top single Danny on was wild pitch on a mr. captive Donner and that's it it's as far as the song is concerned far fishing is concerned Tom Seaver has looked incredibly past the might as out 9 shut off the power filets with only three hits but it's the sixth inning and will be deleted off followed by FanDuel injection the A's as the game moved on hope to make a move against Tom Seaver here's money more Joe Rudi you had one of the easiest and the most solid of the bunch a line drive off the wall in left in the first inning come home for the third time tonight fear thing to have the age compare Tom Seaver and Jim Palmer after this thing is all over four pitch long drive to right center field that ball is tagged pretty well on is that the fans and leaping he's for the right thing a field fence 396 feet away it wasn't a spectacular catch the ball really didn't get quite to the fence but it would have if he had necrotic at least just Colonel wall by about three feet but I'll say it you're ready for the charge of that one goodies been the Eames best hitter for the past three weeks and he has hit a couple of hours like Rocketeer tonight off fever one out here Sal bando the salad the caravan once in a while I've noticed tonight the only ones he was really miss badly with his once in a while at curveballs snap off way way outside and in the dirt that's when he's trying to get a lecture on it Joe really with excellent fire the right-center field just came within about five feet anyone out of here Findo takes the whisker duster inside and i steerer started him off Whitaker hoping to get him leaning and then thrusted one by him on the inside it's two balls and a strike [Music] sendou fouls it off [Music] the A's team captain Sal bando who struck out on the first hitting and lined out the left in the fourth he one pitch low with a fastball at three and one only the second sander he's been behind in the game he watched Gene Tenace tonight at 3 and 1 on bend oh that fall hit deep in a sin appeal ha I'm gonna move again he turned the wrong way it's always had an off the fence Sal bando is on his way to second with a stand-up double Don Harmon centerfielder turned the wrong way on that drive it was to his left he turned to his right he wouldn't have caught it anyway and had two shots in a row hit by right-handed batter to start the fifth inning and now Reggie Jackson comes up and if he gets hold of one it could be tied up in a hurry [Music] Jackson has struck out twice in this ball game [Music] and the Mets fan start to buzz a little bit as the ASRs come up a little bit here in the six Reggie Jackson the American League home run champion stand at the plate gets the curve and it's a snapping third foot goes back underneath one one boy severs really worked on him you can tell the great pitchers when they know they have a challenge at that plate there's no sameness to their pitching they mix it up and they throw the best they've got so thanks to Jackson's firm again yelling at during new deckers the home plate umpire [Music] well it's like the dream is comes by every day at about the same time you know it's coming Jackson has seen super balls in a row now and he almost got to feel that the Express is going to be here just any minute they were start to get ready and Dustin isn't ready so they call time for the good pictures like to stay ahead of the good hitters and fevers been a Jackson all night yoku Pez [Applause] [Music] and that's their expense we were talking about raycast every ten for Tom Seaver [Music] he is paid Reggie Jackson three times tonight tired Gene Tenace who also has guitar poor man in a row in the middle of the age lineup who can hit the ball out of the park Rudy bando Jackson in tennis curveball McKenna did a beauty called strike one [Music] Bieber gets that is the ball I molecular cooking and goes into the corner Kendall coming into store at Gene Tenace through the second with a double it's the 2.1 ballgame and the haters have really teed off on Tom Seaver here in this inning [Music] here it's amazing how that all the down and left the align here and look as if it's going to hook and it just called its diving up there tonight at the foul line yeas are facing away from tying the ballgame bad ears Victor Helios a late season acquisition by the aides from the Pittsburgh Pirates Oakland purchased him to be a pinch-hitter he holds a major league record for most pinch hits in a season 1971 with the thing those titles he set that record so picturing the curveball I ended up second baseman me out he's fighting perfectly and he throws him out at first a big play by the yawn and that's the scouting report out right there he played generally on the floor of all and he's probably ready [Music] let's got there to run from the first before anybody was out on the Oakland A's and waited until two out in the sixth inning before they got their first that blasted the sixth of mommy' more ready Helton is that spark plug of the player for the Mets is hold for two in this ball game batting left-handed he's a switch-hitter minor comes to the plate with a breaking ball and this is going inside Harrelson likes to walk he'll go up and take that first ball a lot of times and here's a good base on balls man I never throws the strike with Harrelson taking all the way the difference in this ballgame right now is a wild pitch home run in the first inning it's the only wild pitch that hunter has issued this year with a man at third base Alton rips one right up the middle of a test bud Harrelson continues to harass the Aged both in the field and at the plate that was a lion Drive right back through the box in now hopeless captain FAL bando goes in to talk to Jim hunter and the reason he's going in now is to set up a defense against Tom Seaver it is coming up Oakland Schultz in the first game of the World Series that they like their second baseman with a pitcher at the place once in a while [Music] Jays bullpen goes to work tailhold and Raleigh fingers here's a pitch funny foul and bando is charging hard from third base 10 is hard from first [Music] bando goes in to talk to hunter again early in the game for long relievers it was Lindblad and John Odom but now in the last half of the sixth inning and the short relievers Knowles and fingers are up bouncing off first severs the plate here's a pitch he takes a strike a narrower lamech bunt with two strikes on Tom Seaver bando with another message to Jim hunter [Music] last year in the World Series six of the seven games were low-scoring one-run ballgame we've had one two to one game already in this series the pitch is bunted foul by Seaver that's with strikeout number four for Jim hunter [Music] went out back to the top of the batting order and here is Wayne Garrett at hundreds threw a home run ball to him in the first inning and is walking twice then [Music] Wayne brother Adrian was in the Oakland A's organization for a while a couple of years back got up and didn't get a whole lot of add back for the A's and eventually went to the Chicago cut where he played this year they often are first here's a pitch is popped foul out of play Garrett turns around at the plate rather disgusted like I think he feels that he got his pitch right there look for Oakland to do some pinch-hitting in the seventh inning they have fought the green in hunter due to that he hates to lose running around on the Oakland dugout Darren Johnson has a bat in his hand now a Lewis there's a helmet in his hand which means they're hoping somebody can get on and he'll run here's a pitch swinging strike to get this challenge Garrett that time and got it by [Music] due to 1.so met they're leading the air enter to the plate again a pie ball [Music] game Darren New York the next couple of nights one ball two strike pitch curveball pal the way way carrot

there's one around to the right hunters bed curve strike three call they get the outside corner and knew Decker's consistent he's giving both pitches hour both pitchers that same pitch tonight there are two damage fire strikeout for 110 for Sivir and I heard Felix Leone he's at two hips tonight both singles and he lined out the campaneras at other time up a man at first for the mat but Elton who led off the inning with a single [Music] matters thick line drive left centerfield they're gonna have to go to get this one heavily on the run he's got it Vic Beverly all flamey on and right-center peel had to turn on the gas in the little pillar and just land the ball down and caught it on the dead run for the Mets in a sec no runs one hit they left a man in the story two to one New York he more hard to go to the open seventh of Monte was exactly right phone taps first former Chicago stops car big strong hitting first baseman for the Oakland A's comes off the swing a powder and a Zeus

of three balls two strikes [Music] the Mets infielders guarding the foul lines at first and third a pitch eye foul ball off third M of the stand one big noticeable difference in this ballpark and the one in Oakland the stands come out to within a few feet of the foul lines here at Shea Stadium whereas in New York the Oakland Coliseum stadium is like a hundred and twenty hundred and forty feet from the foul line 3-2 pitch Rick hits a flyball the right field and it's pretty deep but starve is back in the ring track reaching up and picking it off in all that one so that perk is out number one here in the seventh inning and I hate through somebody who comes on I live in this theory three hits in nine at-bats he hit 306 for the a is after he was picked up from the Houston Astros are the A's have

weeks of the season with a palm chip in his hand five weeks of the season with a bone chip in his hand and it was hurting him so badly he could hardly grip a bat here's a very strong candidate to knock in a hundred runs at the end of been hurt but there got them back for Caffrey hunter in the seventh inning with a MEK leading to the one saber-6 fastball outside they were working quickly come to the plate with a curve and this is a minute two balls and no strikes captain pinch-hit in some days long game rotted open and got a double off the wall in left-center field he's one for one in the

Philadelphia stomp out the pitch away it's the ball into Frank [Music] so just 31 years old is from Brunswick livery [Music] he is average bitching in over 50 games a year for eight years that's a lot of work for a little guy his greatest pitching effort this year was as a surprise starter at Fenway Park in Boston he won a game one to nothing going all the way babul on a breaking ball just dragged it foul off the first base line I've gone to Milner will bat for New York here in the seventh inning still letting go of the bat with one hand he's got a very sore shoulder no to the plate in the dirt

certainly not a hundred percent but he's given hundreds ever here so stop a thought so I think they fit great follows from the fact that he single the last time up out and open he's got an important base hit tonight but if you that he's not swinging the bat like a u-tube Jones getting a sharp grounder to campaneras he eats it up and throws over the first 40 up to out seventh inning and here's John Milner who in a line drive just below the orange line 341 feet away from home plate into the right-field corner of Shea Stadium Reggie Jackson played it perfectly and held him to a long hard hit single that was in the fifth inning he drove n72 runs with a 239 average this year for the man knows nothing outside ball one catfish hunter tonight six innings gave up two runs and seven hits the

Jackson the eighth leveled about polar line drives in the sixth inning 2 for doubled here's a pitch thanks Paul a beautiful pitch from No [Music] those is all the way on the red three balls two strikes here's the bench hey lost in ball four and they lost the left-handed batter and now it's got a pic to a right-hander who can't hit the ball out of the park [Music] Rodie struck out and bounced into a force out and flied to left met to have seven hits the A's have five there has been one error in a game that was by the pitcher and had no consequence in the scoring [Music] [Music] Jerry grote the Met catcher dr. bat no we've come to the plate and it's low for ball one [Music] in playing the Mets the pitchers don't have to worry about holding runners on all that hopefully because they just don't try to seal but the pressure is on the second baseman Brooklyn who caused the coverage on running plays foul ball upstairs twice the Mets in his series have hit the ball through the infield tonight rusty Staub who have not been pulling the ball at all or that the plate in the A's coverage called for campaneras the shortstop to cover second base and stop hit it right through there for those calls sometimes were very important no looking to the plate throwing the first he has one of the best moves in the American League but he didn't catch Milner it was only off just a separate two Paul Lindblad has joined Rowley fingers of the Oakland bullpen there the bouncing ball at shook top campaneras has got his throws over the second kubiak takes the fourth play on Milner's will retire the side after seven innings in New York it's the Mets ooh in the A's one to the one getting both of their run in the first inning came up with their one run of the six Tom Seaver to face the top of the batting order campaneras rudi and bamboo and here's the first pitch to campaneras hit on the ground the left seals the a who runner is on and in a one-run ballgame that's the one man Seaver wanted off the bases the most but there he is perched on first safe campaneras led the American League in stolen bases five of the last six years sold 34 for the A's this year 3 in the playoffs and 2 so far in the World Series and the Met bullpen crew goes to work headed by left-handers higher-tech McGraw [Music] Joe Rudi the banner for Auckland in the top half of the eighth inning and he has hit the ball more consistently hard than any other Hayes player tonight he's double the left and he hit one to the wall in right-center that was caught on a six inning can't be big lead off first drawing a throw from Seaver Harry Potter right enter is joined tug mcgraw a lefty for New York in the bullpen Mets leading to what Joe really digs in Wayne Garrett is wrecking the foul line at third big lead for campaneras he's not going the curveball is often uttered one ball no strikes Cody seems to be a very fine catcher as far as getting rid of the ball he's made a strong throw to second in the series twice and he didn't show any fear at all with campaneras are calling that curveball in and he dug it right out of the dirt and campy wasn't going go to you fine catcher campaneras brought birthdays here's the picture of the strike Tiffany's a good fastball from fever fever want that ball down here he needs the ground ball did liked he got two and one that's giving up some ground to the left of the third baseman Garrett and he's trying to protect against the extra-base hit and in giving up that ground campaneras got on by hitting one through that hole [Music] they've lazy throw over the first page just reminding capillarity knows he still ran fever drop down flow via the wait there goes campaneras a picture taken caught his throat a second here hunting clearly see well it was right on the bag hippie campaneras steal second base and that one was really close I'll tell you Brody step right out in front of a plate in guns one the second the tag was made it looked to be made a little behind the bag maybe or on top of a let's see it as we look at it on a tour we can replay here Jim well the way it looked for me and we'll look at it again here money looks like the car might have gone the A's way but says there's the tank we're looking at it awfully close it looks like from this angle he got his right foot in from the other angle it looks like they had his left leg tagged before he got there the important thing is he's there and don't really jock now to move him over here's the pitch 30 / Detroit here for there are rounding second he's coming in to score the tying run of the ballgame they really shut one of the grand right fire the first placement and carefully restores their tying run to the game with nobody down well it's your Jim in the World Series there was a very important play at second base involving a Cincinnati Reds players and hollering plays showed that campaneras missed the tag on him the umpire called him out they're going to be looking this replay over from different angles many times trying to decide whether or not rep I'm buyer risk yes the second base made the great Colin Calvin Harris because it was a big one now here's al Bendel's nobody out eighth inning Rudi on first vandals gonna putt and it's foul off the first base line bando in a long double in the sixth inning he's 1 for 3 in the ballgame Tom Seaver with a 2 nothing lead from the first inning gave up a leadoff single and then campaneras told a fictive and Oh again he's gonna fight and it's a hard spot to the first baseman no play at second he didn't even look he throws the first for the out and Jerry grote the Met catcher is swinging his mask around and discuss a left-handed throwing first baseman Miller I believe he had a play at 2nd he didn't even look at second base and the ball was fun is very hard and now Yogi Berra goes to the mound as Ricky Jackson comes up again what do you think well I think we've had two controversial plays one by a player one by Tom prior the umpire of course if you called it is rough get to the American League down of second base we looked at the television monitor in our booth as they showed that from three different angles on one angle you could say this can't be Gavin Harris was faced now in the American League there on the outfield side of second base so that's the angle at show that capita could have been safe looking down from first base or from behind home plate it looked like he was out a course right and then on the pump ice the milliner's birthday says Monty described he could have had and might have asked Rudi going into second base but never looked that way simply throw on the neon at first base sacrifice complete the go-ahead run with one out his honor second base here in the eighth Tom terrific is in trouble as Reggie Jackson who struck out three times stepped in stiva get said here's the fish dejected high flyball left-center field not deep at all Joe Rudi holds on his second his Don but Reggie Jackson always Seaver elected to pitch to Jackson Yogi Berra went to them on and obviously asked him what do you think first base it open could we fix Dorman on he did and he got him again so he has handled Reggie Jackson four times tonight now here's Gene Tenace who struck out walked in doubles [Music] Joe Rudi and Goering position at second base were in the top half of any number eight a great pitchers battle tom seaver against Jim Matthews hunter who has gone so big the tennis curve Frank it's gone [Music] Denis rips the double right down the line in left field in the sixth inning to knock home Oakland first run favors Destin throws another curve the tennis is outside one ball one strike [Music] Seba looked at ready throws to the plate sir Falls bringing sexy and he has thrown Gene Tenace three big breaking pitches in a row well that last one was really a breaking ball that just snapped over that outside corner fever grabs the wall he says he throws swinging my great fastball by Seaver is flew right out of the ballgame and it leaves the go-ahead run at second base though the score in the middle of the 8th inning is Oakland to New York to Tom Seaver was never in trouble at all with accepts of a two-out walk and infield single in the fourth inning until the six when the Oakland A's went to work and on a double bottom and on another mine Dennis made it stood awash and then of course to the top of the eighth inning campaneras the man they wanted off the base got a singles stole second and jowood he drove him home at a tuna - and Seaver has been rich freaking out his nose against evil and in the last of the eight hits on Elton and Seaver that is darn got a double in the fourth inning Gerald old first pitch Tejada is low outside ball one now the next route gets into the active everybody predicted they would and if they're great flounder in New York tonight probably around 55 showers in the thick tunnel a bouncing ball at each short Kevin Ayers has got it his throw to first is there in time a little bit on the inside of the bag but Pat Burke took it throw one up one down and that cleaned up but Hilton he'll turn around at bat from the right side now he's one player tonight [Music] in a pitcher's battle like there's that who makes the first mistake ah Harrelson is being called back over to the on deck area and is talking with Tom Seaver [Music] I don't know what that conversation should be that you get Anunnaki in you reckon that helps in his home is right in the Bay Area just a few miles away from the home of the Oakland A's he lives in Hayward California he's ready now here's the pitch from those and it is a strike call Oakland third baseman Sal bando playing break close to the bag at third and close to the foul line get off with a big first baseman bat first no sit to the plate high fly ball off third-base Gavin Harris is going backdoor Rudy's coming in it's going to be Rudy making the catch he's got it Gavin Harris has a tremendous range out of the church stop going left or right a big collision in a game in Oakland in the Baltimore series between him and an outfielders outer mm Tom Seaver is due to bat and they're gonna pinch-hit for him so full bases are out of the game Jim and Jim Beecham of foreign pinch-hitter for the New York Mets respond to come on against the left-handed well although Beecham has been up twice before the World Series and as they only hit Seaton as the Mets go to their bench Tom Seaver began to run in trouble right giving up the tying run in the eighth inning both of you will remember that in the first game of the playoffs and Cincinnati when he was matched against Jack Billingham Seaver we can only in the late innings gave up the two long balls to Pete Rose and Johnny Bench to do home runs for BT and I'll tell me yogi field or Tom Seaver feels at it's time for him to get out it was two outs and nobody on they've gone to a senator for fever and they have their left-hander in the bullpen Chuck McGraw's the only man left going isn't it or is it sadecki it is the Dicky in the bullpen Beechum ready at the plate is a pitch swinging strike one nose turned a fastball over running [Music] a chip Amina Oklahoma product [Music] for the year at 79 [Music] door is a New York Mets to the Oakland A's ooh [Music] no but adopt rat of all be some is not a homerun hitting times oh he's a big guy he did not hit a home run for the Mets during the year in the world series so far he is oh-fer to no Blanding here's the pitch swinging strike one of the secrets of Darrel no success is to get the batters to go for bad pitches and beat them just Casey that think thinking fastball it good to be out of the strike zone from here [Music] the host of a plate again is up high this time two balls two strikes the Oakland infield after the changes high as bando a third campaneras at Short to be hacked at second and Pat Perez at first with Gene Tenace moving behind the plate the A's have three men left on the bench Conigliaro men growl and lewis they're playing with only twenty three men tonight due to pick up flyball to left field Joe Rudi is moving over lots of time in locker room he's got it so we go to the top half of the ninth inning and we may be in a one inning ballgame now it's the a is doing on that to 12 and walked one McGraw the man to whom you're all about a month ago and said listen it is up to you to win or lose Kenneth and my job McGraw is not coming on to pitch the brothers Wade select he is coming off the deck he has been in one game mister minion to third bug off three alarm go off and walked nobody in 31 games this year ten of which were stars he was five at war when the home run average three one zero I wanna touch the ball while McGraw went six innings and leap on Sunday afternoon tosses Devon that they got still the hurry and New York that derive from the West Coast before disaster draw how he thought he could I feel completely exhausted but if they want me to go I will go tonight McGraw a short man is not being called on to come on with a ninth-inning year to st. Sava Leo as the draw the impetus lately the momentum of the Oakland A's who are now shooting nothing since the very first of the New York Mets but have now added up in the eights and now they go to the night and I thought the A's know they would love to get ahead in the ninth because when you get to the last inning here in New York any Mets run can be the end of the ballgame in the end of world during Game three al the Leo to lead it off against the bekkie left-hander the left-hander the infamous and the streak continues in World Series play no pictures fix a complete game in the series last year and nobody has yet this year is vic davalillo hits very little against left-handed pitching this year raiga sadecki throws sidearm and this is outside ball one devil we go full complex ladies bails out as you call it runs down that line and the Suppan last gives the picture a tough strike zone because he's moving [Music] so they keep popping to the plate again Lyon drive off the glove of me on and having the right feel that might be a basis fixed Emily oh the little fellow who came through in such magnificent fashion for the Oakland A's in the playoffs against Harlem oh I'm one hard off the glove of me on that is a good chance of being a base hit the scores are working on it right now they had three official scorers in World Series games that search is the man ups now for the Oakland A's they have given a they've hit the family on the ball dad looking for the bunt the pictures taken outside by bird in order to move down Vallejo down he's almost going to have to bust the ball to the first base side because Wayne Garrett so that third baseman is going to be right up in Berks faced with the time of the pitch get to the place gavel you all first years effect first bunted foul off the first base line now we've caught it on error on me on his second error of the series he made only nine for the entire season [Music] that Burke is a play for the count of one ball one strike phrase select ESET here's a bit Burke takes outside text rody comes out of that catcher's box like a printer off the starting block raised to deke who's been with the best since 1970 he was also with a giant a long time he was with the st. Louis Cardinals originally and they're a long time to one pitch tried hard we clean the mound and first days nobody's covering first fat pork has got an infield base hit and Burke a heavyweight first baseman for the A's running the ball perfectly in the cracks he got it past the mound he had the first baseman Miller coming in for the second baseman beyond going over the cover anyway right in the middle of them an elephant will have a pinch runner Allen Lewis will go in to run her pet work at first base Luhan a nobody and Harry Parker and touch my jaw are at it in the Mets bullpen as hit Kubiak one of the prime utility infielders in the American League comes to the plate he's a switch hitter he'll be batting right-handed here but Jim I haven't seen the Mets that much do they pull any kind of strict plays on coverage or anything like that no the New York Mets play things pretty straight they wait for the beginning offense early on on defense they sell them to that but yogi bear's gonna come out the one thing I noticed Marty and we can check after the game that was just an observation Arkin McGraw will have been warming and are still warming now were kind of booked insisted Becky who really did not throw that much out of the bullpen it was kind of an afterthought they get wasted Becky going they did give an error to me on but that was a hard match off the bat of Donnelly oh that sounded off his glove and out into the outfield and then of course picked up in there in deal there with nobody covered first base on the bunt and so now soupy AK is coming up and a family they're gonna go to the bullpen but the job is walking off the field while the tenure get on the ground get to well we were wondering why he did not come in Darrell what mr. ducky not all of the trouble was done out of Quebec he's doing the arrow Bobby Anthony is not although there was a mixup on the play on the pump no body hitting second baseman beyond or see Becky cupboards first as milder field of the ball until here we are the New York Mets two in command behind Tom Seaver all the way getting the to hundreds of the first inning on a home run by Wayne girl back-to-back singles from the album stop and a wild pitch by the Hilton shower caps each other all the way in charge that is a silver Strickland doubled by Pando and fenestrated p21 have MBAs when campaneras singles goals second in the close friend was driven home by Rudi to make a 2 to do theydo started in the last of the eighth with two out of none arm the back for Tom Seaver a bellows gazecki you bet have gone up there's one on the narrow one of them to cut off the fans go wild for Gus McGraw's now Joe Rudi has done of series record of seven put up well left field in the nine inning game will just be a bit of trivia because the fact remains the game can be won or lost right here in the ninth inning and McGraw's the Walton happen call on as we told you Bobbie Barrett Jordan about four to six weeks before the thief was over what I'm going to give you the ball I'm going to call for you in all of the big situations they're going to win the better quality by the nets and I think gonna go down during the net final 24 game there are only two hours runs and 31 in the third inning and that stretch he registered him save and he also giving up when he gave up a triple to Jackson had walked generous enough at the end with him there but we said he's dead I'm exhausted but I'll be ready tonight [Music] for the previous game that was eight innings the totals that Tom Seaver work tonight and overall is one-one of lost normally given up sick tip for one for warfare Nam striker and a season record and you got to remember the Tug McGraw was not at all effective in the only guard he was one of the bigness Department for the Mets the Mets plus all of the disabled players is one of the reasons lies and that's an old jar time or in last place [Music] you learn what I between them now is 3.86 so you know what kind of closing part of the PP have to bring it down to 3.86 but he did save 25 all games though as they blaming got his dick for Tug McGraw they're marked active' Subiaco cricketer stepping and medicine and none out in a 250 ballgame in the night is all right the Mets first baseman Milner is going to be playing very shallow the third baseman Garrett is shallow the shortstop Houston play right on top of the bag at second nobody that's Jordan Hall a pick two Kubiak punted out and fouled off but gets off that mound in a hurry it's going to be his job that covers a third base line here who the oakland a's batting in the top of the ninth inning [Applause] mcgraw good fielder Lindsay yes hello you might have seen how McGraw broke over to third base the place that Kubiak will probably try and bunt the ball trying to protect that line so that Garrett can stay on third base and they can force that runner 1-1 pitch [Applause] I love 1 & 2 runners at second and at first [Applause] [Music] Oh 1 2 delivery is around pitch is high and it's 2 2 Juve I getting these information now to see if he's running all the way apparently was on that pitch he's around but I'll have it there's the fourth I wanna play might have had a play at first raaah really came off that mom let's look at it again as I think Kubiak maybe tried to force the ball by McGraw as he broke hard that third-base foul line Garrett as you said Lindsay might have had a play except he did not have good possession of the ball the ball got stuck in his webbing let's watch Doug again he really broke off the mound but not a very good fun two strikes he was just trying to hit the ball somewhere in fair territory so now there's one out runners first and second angel Manuel is coming up now to bat for Darren old Oh for two in the series 1 for 9 in the playoffs during the season hit 224 three homers 13 runs batted in angel Manuel [Applause] story tied 2-2 the a is batting in the top of the ninth inning Lewis the runner at second now who biax the runner at first [Applause] they really took a ruffle 25 luis at second base a dangerous face stealing threat he's led several leagues the miners really keeping him close there he is violet back at two strikes with know how the Margay and Paul Lindblad is throwing in the bullpen for the Oakland A's tog has gotten some pitches up like that last screwball that Manuel jumped on was almost in his eyes [Music] runners at first and second and Oh toothpicks that's all I would guess it tuns got to be tired it's like asking the starting pitch after pitching a complete game to come back with a day and a half rest [Applause] go away tell you one thing if he gives campaneris out you'll get a standing ovation when it goes into that Mets dugout yeah watch it again looked like a perfect pitch them on Glalie it's throwing him one screwball down just about the outside corner you can see the reaction of McGraw wanting the pitch and reaction among well in disgust Gavin arrows coming up he's had two hits Yogi Berra and Aquila down ball foul off the line at third glove by Garrett strike one bran game Jew who carom the ball up campaneris helmet two strikes on him [Applause] let alone it's one-on-one [Applause] this is Yogi Berra and five [Applause] at rube Walker of the pitching coach moving over with yogi gosh stepped off he wants the signs again from Brody Habanera steps out of the plane two balls two strikes two men outscored tied 2-2 [Applause] - to the it'll be an automatic stress for the runners now Louis at second Scooby I could first drop out he

error is not for the ball club anymore he aid the play with only 23 men he retired one others on the mound now and growlithe think this stays in the ballgame goes to center field big heavily old comes on the first day and when God is the pitches last of the ninth suta to bleed off that old youngster phase Lindblad ears body and the first pitch is swung on it whips up in the air right out behind third bert campaneras the shortstop of Oakland's big throw to the foul line and picked it off boy what a pressure cooker to come in to Jim Paul Lindblad out of the bullpen and the crowd yelling go get a mint 55,000 stride he gets out of the mound and this is one of the toughest situations for a pitcher he comes into a game with a chance to be a losing pitcher never having had a chance to have been a winner but he got the first batter in Jared here is Felix me on [Music] be honest singled twice and lined out hard twice once the short once the center when black picked a strike call Paul Lindblad 31 years old is home now is made in Arlington Texas but he's from Emporia Kansas Wendy's pitch to be on is upside of all and glad appeared in 30 16 for the A's this year 33 in relief seven years in the major league he pitched in 374 ballgames before this year and he's the major league record holder in most games appeared in buy a picture without making an error fastball swung on and fouled Valerie it's the 8th catcher TeamTennis to knocked him over Jenna still down Marty and as he goes down will reminded what we've been keeping back of building Conigliaro is the only other man aside from pictures that are available to the Oakland A's it canisters are there they're in a real problem because they're now almost fake come to us and make me I was the only man that's going to be able to come in and they'd have to go to someone else to do the catching and let's go back to the Mike and Ruth to our situation in somebody's second game the team physician said yesterday that Andrews needed work on his arm and sent him home and retired him for the rest of the World Series there the old group says that so that is not the case Andrews was simply fired by the Oakland A's management Delfin a is applied to the commissioner's office to be allowed to reinstate Manny Trillo reservedly the Commissioner has said no three old cannot suit up they can suit up mike andrews but the eighth day they can't find him Kenneth is up now on apparently will remain in the game but the summon substance is the only 23 players on the eve active roster for this game and they're down to one more man that can play in the field other than that they've got blue in all from starting pitchers fingers pianola led to the poor pencils and that's how much water maneuver with as we may go to extra innings when out of the night tennis is up when bladders ready and throws money all right Paul Lindblad ready to go to work on Felix me on at a ball and two strikes one out last half of the ninth inning tied up doing two then black cranked it up here's the pitch bouncing ball at Short campaneras charged at it he's got it throws a strike Fidelio at first in there two away Jim the Andrews story claimed by the alien has one of the main absent but they have another one absent and the story there is that you must turn in a 25 man eligibility roster the playoffs in World Series by a certain date September 1st the A's turned him that 25 man list and on that list was a player with the name of Jose Morales a pinch hitting Petrus after that list was turned in the 8th sold Morales to Montreal of a national league and then in the playoffs got permission to replace Morales with another player [Music] became injured then and the National League has refused to allow a person to replace Morales on that 25 man roster here's rusty Staub in the first pitch is swung on and foul tip with strike one and fallen but wanted that one back right after he threw it it's something a dick William to the players do not want to discuss nor with Charles will thoroughly discuss with NBC Sports the facet of the situation but as far as this game is concerned it really takes the manager of genius away from dick williams yet many men work with a very personal man president family will play super sessions in the game here's a fix to rusty Sabich inside a half of all there are two down in the ninth inning family all from the game in centerfield he's now at first base dennis opened at first base he's now behind a place that Burt came on as a pinch hitter and stayed in a game to play first base and now he's gone here's the one I want pitch up high ball two Paul Lindblad did not win a game for the Oakland A's until the last week of the season he pitched a full season without a win he finally got a victory over the Chicago White Sox in relief on September the 28th but tender comes to the plate two and one stop take laugh of all three they got a long ball hitting right-handed batter on deck this is a man Paul Lindblad really would like to get out a left-handed hitting rusty Staub [Music] and here's a 3-1 pitch thanks Paul it's 3mp Lindblad basic pitches a fastball and a slider and once in a while you'll throw a changeup which you develop this year Rowley fingers yay for the Oakland bullpen is up now throwing you don't suppose McGraw fingers could appear in seven games out of seven if this thing goes all the way our girl has already been in three out of three three to fix this job and the plate but it's here the stand tennis - chasing it over the air it's going to land in defeat Bobby's July's Lindblad still have to throw another strike Cleon Jones on deck boy what a pressure pitching job at McGraw put on in the ninth inning he got dead Kubiak the but back to him with runners at first and second and nobody down they got one play at third in Manuel took a called third strike on a surprise fastball into three to line drive left center field hit well and a few fathers got it down a little he's hit now and the New York Mets it [Music] I began the wonder now and look for dick Williams to come out Ronnie fingers he's warming a big left-hander Cleon Jones the upper right handed [Music] they could put dongdong the only one one is all that matters and then go to the left-hander John Milner was due up next with Twitter course or yogi Bogota he cried and Indonesian he's just up and kidding newly-made they're going to put him on they are gonna watch beyond Jones and player percentages so it's going to be up to John Miller even with a chance with a man in scoring position in the ninth inning rusty Staub what Paul Lindblad off until he got the counted three into fouled off one right great up in here in him play it got a high fastball in there and let zero touch to the wall and let's gonna feel if that one Hoffman went over the fence just wonder here comes Miller up we just wondered whether or not they might go for lightening price within the summer games of the World Series Willie Mays the Miller is going to be allowing about Lindblad traditionally have had as much if not more trouble getting left-handers out then he has right-handers and in front of a unique twist Dick Williams is calling the plate umpire Jerry new Decker over to the dugout [Music] then firing about something there's some activity in the meds regard that caused the a8 coaches to tap dick Williams on the shoulder and they started looking through the lineup start they're going to find out what's going on here about what this could be about Alice Williams is trying to get a little more time for Rowley fingers to get loose out of the bullpen they tell us the deck was probably one all this situation on the light changing out at Oakland was about on Sunday there was an argument as to when the light should be turned on the run over this is all about Jane who Decker goes back to the plate [Music] all right so pressure is on John Miller at the plate all in battle oh man let's see solve it second when Brad gets that is the pizza Miller all the way strike one and Oakland is playing Miller is a did pull hitter they're giving him the left side of the infield here Burt campaneris is way over toward second base even with the left-hander Lindblad pitching out in centerfield Angelman brawler's run around to the right side one strike down another first baseman the pitch dream third strike to him play it through that one later they silver and it dives down through the prank thrown knee-highs no balls two strikes [Music] the A's food on ETSU last half of the ninth inning game for you the 1973 world series and it's all on the line right here here you go this time drive right reallocating Reggie Jackson's head he's done it on a boat ball two strike pitch Paul Lindblad creep one to the left hitter hitting Dom Milner and he's brought that ball hard to right Jackson went on the run and picks it off we've got extra innings in Game three nor is the up renée's build a New York Mets do both a that is captivating the nation in record numbers we are going into the 10th inning with tight McGraw against the laughs of the oakland a's batting order just be on camera so far in the game here's what happened in scoring the Mets Wayne Garrett started the game with a home run off Jeffrey Turner's Leon got on with a single and they got him around he's won in a wild pitch and that's the last swing for the Mets captain Turner was six innings those who hopefully got their first run off Tom Seaver in the fixed on a double by vandana following double by tennis they tied the game in the eighth inning on a single a stolen base by campaneras and a single by really here we go to the 10th inning and park McGraw against Jill Rudi once again jumping all right Molly woody is people for Plouffe sending Vaughn piece almost 400 feet away to Hall and his long drive back in the sixth inning Brody has driven on the run of this game he's been up against cut McGraw found the foul up the third base line this is the first Thomas have been more that if there have been two extra inning games of the same series since 1958 for the Milwaukee Braves and Yankees with a couple of spending games and it's the first time have been successive extra inning games in a World Series since 1933 since the Yankees beat Washington after it's been 40 years of Washington which no longer has baseball was in a World Series one strike to count through D in a 50 ballgame in the 10th breaking ball misses cycles are ball one one ball one strike through D with Sal bando on deck well that is another one of those games over four hours and 40 minutes from the afternoon this ballgame now fast approaching the three hours breaking pitch again the screwball misses outside two balls one price the drugs effectiveness in the ninth inning was set up by his football he did most of his damage with good puff ball we've all come right over already in the 10th here on bait hits m1l for Polti but in fact with another football if this is up high and as 3/1 somebody in the Mets bullpen at the moment Kerry Park has been throwing a great deal of the guards and with nearly the top of the batting order for the Oakland A's nobody is up yet although Lindblad was flattered number seven in Marana three balls one strike another fifth line to left field overcomes Leone Jones and takes a line

regular season this is his third era and were in the third game of the World Series one of his men was on Saturday afternoon allowed not to go down ballgame and now his era here as the go-ahead run on a 3-2 ballgame on at second base with Reggie Jackson always dangerous but as we does not affect you tonight do us Jemima's really had to take a couple of tough errors tonight I can't think of a tougher one that he just took right then he's fearless Lee dives right into the oncoming spikes of South bando who's a 200 pounder and put that glove over there at second base I think his surprise

intensely probably get telleth to go for that that's when he would not and the count went to know all they simply decided let's put him on and O's over third base [Music] and that'll bring up davalillo who is one for 40 weeks Donna Mara Reggie Jackson who went over five tonight did an offense do one good thing his ground ball to the right side an abled band or to go from second to third

continue to maneuver with not much room left the middle Remora 50 the count 52 floor throughout the tent and that back and forth outside William to I do wonder if Elton giton took what kind of move if any yogi berra will make will he go to Willie Mays the right-hander and take McGraw out now this finger he is not throwing in the bullpen for the Oakland A's the ball game now almost three hours old here at Shea Stadium in New York little throwing and if we see some kind of performance from Tom Seaver tonight the left after eight innings striking out 12 men giving up 7 or long ball right side base hit getting wrong potentially are on first page that here come for today forty-two years old started as a rookie at 1950 ramen with the New York diet when all the way to the World Series wiping out history until 1973 what if years later on all the way to the [Music] we are in the first game and another one in game number two number 24 flashes up on the billboard here do you see out on the fence they're looking for some of that maze right-handed batter and then select a default Lindblad and lower body the you know girl when I approached the maze down ball in the hole kappa no go to second base he thought with bell ringing staff and I went into the hall was right turn and pie for the second baseman Kubiak and in a close play he's done down low on one hit north and one left at the end of ten it still we are to Oakland Durga now we're going to the 11th minute markers even started the Vikings came on and then to a couple of batters the ninth inning before just walking on right and there was Ben in one day Eva won it and no one thirty seconds for safety identification Terri Parker and he was money more hey Parker won eight games in lost war for the message here with Nara as three point three for Paul Lindblad left-hand batter ready here's a fisherman to drop that ball and then plant is one of the best all-around athletes on the Oakland A's Davies outstanding diver he was a former national Gavilan throwing captain good hitter among the pitches his laws of all 50 balls and okay William drawing with Paul Lindblad the leadoff batter here in the 11th inning get to the action Angelman growl Paul you help this baseball then be taking all the way [Laughter] Oakland has only one man left in a big Billy Conigliaro he was swinging about for a while but this Williams be elected to go with Lindblad and the biggest one in this section is to follow through so this is a fourth met picture the ballgames be responded to Becky McGraw works the pixel in Blair fouled out of play Donna let the align it's still too [Music] well they said the Mets have antenna TV all year and the ADA has more than a thing on their ballclub all year long they don't want anything they don't leave them easy and I have another example a toothpick why I'm drive of a shortstop I often got it all in play it's a little sinking liner off to the right of Helton and he came up for the ball one down here is that pretty octopus it her [Laughter] they put him for pinch hitters in the game here's the fix P will be act and it's inside for ball one that's birth a three to lose Darren Johnson and angle and growl have all come up as tentative Yogi Berra TPD some amazed there's ball to say sube ass two balls and no strikes both the nets in here you got runners in scoring position in the ninth inning and couldn't get him across then both they had a team got a man on a meet in thing open at 2 on this is high ball through the studio hey been up in that bullpen brought a few times tonight telling him do a goal knife give he's got to be a little bit nervous free and open bar for to the Octagon that's only the third Oakland A's players will receive a free ticket to preach tonight my door watch one that was intentional Ebru walked one and now here is angel man growl the oakland center fielder who came on the 10th hit for darrell though in the ninth inning and took a called third strike [Music] [Laughter] first a Vanaras is on deck that's about happily looking for a bunt here it's playing very shallow at third years ago pitch curve right oh man well fell off that plate wall turned a corner and went right down through the track zone it's no balls one strike and flowers liable to hit the ball anywhere so that's playing to hit it to right center he has good power he hasn't played much for Oakland this year he ended up being a number three centerfielder the pic time curve strike to call and then powers up one the bat in the last three pitches home to him for the called third strike in the ninth inning and out of first two thrown by Parker here at third ball that he's looked at both of them Milner holding I got to the eggs are two throws that's called is missing I didn't miss by much I would look for him to go back to the breaking ball here he must have realized that Manuel didn't like it who might be throwing distant ones an angel fit for a big hole between the third baseman and shortstop on the left side of the infield Parker's death check the runners go to the plate it Scimitar nice block by Jody or what a fine job this guy does behind a place [Music] one of the big pleasures of working a world series is being able to see that players from the other league that you only hear about during the season why face to deliver fast ball swinging a miss his flight to catches up the ball the entire coastal forest and Juliet goes to second Marcus struck out Manuel and Kobe only text and talking about his defense didn't handle the third strike inspired the touch the wall one hit him now we're saying that it was a foul oh he's out he quit my Honda first place and well took off the first we have a runner on at first he didn't run at Kubiak is able to advance to second base perhaps campaneris that's a runner at second base if he came up in the ninth inning with two men on and the dog got him on a screwball a pop-up to centerfield Larry Shepard start throwing in the Met bullpen Billy had gone second the pizza Cap'n area to the curve outside ball one that is a spoon alternators batteries to strike out on a four-game beaver got 12 of campaneris ready for the one and hope it by quickly much through there 101 could we hack away from the second and do down market growth curve balls going on and that's got to well I updated the system is for gain has been there for a 50-game there's been a lot of runners in scoring position parties the headache campaneras been a ball and two strikes here comes the pitch the ball foul off the right-field down I love Tanner has joined the right entered out of the bullpen both capital the game is Rama feel right now where Harry Potter's got it all on film one ball two strikes on Bert campaneris with Ted Kubiak the base hit away from coming in with at a breaking run [Laughter] crowd buzzing they've been out on the edges of their seats for that to our dear that's it inside the Claire is to all two three [Laughter] I parked already again we look good I'm drivin a field piece here it's give you a crowning fear he's coming home it was before when campaneras goes on wait a second and they put it off in the second they get him with the underscore yeah I cut the ball off for the fifties bound and feed a second they get Campanella for this base hit this quartet Kubiak before they got him the Oakland A's broken the 9 3 and I met - well I don't think we have to spell it out for the Marnie and the lives of a lot of bidding all in blood gets the job done against three of the toughest heaters from the New York Mets run up it is the Oakland A's it will take a big game a 2-1 lead but then you know eleven thirteen years mark Wayne Garrett the leadoff man again fallen flat at 61 all right Jimmy Beck's into center field a base hit hey I'm gonna keep semester lives he tried that stuff is playing on a breaking ball up iron landed right over the pitchers head in a center field throw the mix there the tying run all right here is Felix me on who really can't handle that back Wayne Garrett Hill has been tough on Oakland the entire series is open up at door in any number Ellen's and Lolly fingers are going to be called in out of the Oakland bullpen possibly here he's throwing hard and Dick Williams is going to mound to talk to Paul Lindblad why I'm sorry Marty while he's out there talking world of remind you again that we are now on the 11th inning overall game is about three hours and 10 minutes goal then a ball game that started off with an absolutely capacity house and that means many more than 50,000 here at Shea Stadium in New York but it is late New York time about before midnight and many many people have lost a stadium heading for home choosing to listen on the radio it takes advances that it will be on television still when they get home Holly fingers being called in and the 11th inning after the Oakland A's came on to tie it up in the 8th inning they went until the 11th inning when the Oakland A's when I had either score three to one on the run-scoring single by Bert campaneris his third hit of the night campaneras has been something else as a matter of fact his second half of right after that he stole second and came home with a dying rod are moody faith did in the 8th inning down the 11th inning he started everything by driving in the go-ahead run Ted Cuvier but now on the last of the 11th inning Garrett as distraught the by Monty don't simply try to check a swing against the breaking pitch there was well out of the strike zone he didn't go all the way around but he checked it and lined it right over the head of Paul Lindblad and in the center field now beyond you know as we said seldom strike out he is a good man may be up there to bunk may be up there are me wrong but I would imagine nor even in World Series when you are the home team you want to make sure you tied up before you try to win us and throw the odds are that be honest up there to do one thing and that is the bun while they think is like suck McGraw seen more than his share of Duty here in the World Series fingers oh it was the third game and it's the third game for Raleigh

very effective in Harrison Barney has not been effective that much here in the World Series in six innings he is below 86 earned run average Rowley figures is a very strong right-hander my last recollection of Wally before the era quite my candies of the second phase when he threw a very good fit to Willie Mays only to have him grounded on one off bounce it over head into centerfield or a run tying RBI single and Rowley to be full of up in the air he's got a champion himself now all the A's Robin from 3 to 2 but the tying run is on at first base with none us fingers is ready me honored
