this way Davey Lopes will be leading off for the Dodgers second of course batting second the man who found himself in the most recent World Series game Bill Russell started a hit batting third the average interest Reggie Smith fleet footed slugger Ron save cost the consistent home run hitter he's 3 for 18 on the series this fellow you got Joe White 7 out of 20 on the series Steve's gone and after him Dusty Baker the power man to with 6 out of 20 on the series and then Rick Monday there's only 1 of 8 on the series and after him the young man talked about the pregame shows TV a gay hero in the most recent World Series game bird houki the knuckleball curve oh nothing he's dead here at Yankee Stadium in game number 2 letting the Yankee defense Lubin loz had a very fine series both offensively and defensively in centerfield it is the speedster Mickey rivers a very important figure in tonight's game for the Yankees it right-field two home runs now in the World Series of 77 Reggie Jackson the inner defense is the same as we've seen it steady Greg nettles is over to third base feeling fine now awakened his shoulder at shortstop it is Bucky Dent the infield here at Yankee Stadium you got to know what to play it well he does at second base outstanding young ballplayer Willie Randolph steady as they come at first base Chris Chambliss whose bat has been rather quiet through the series but look out anytime and back at the plate tonight doing the catching the captain of the Yankees Thurman Munson at on the mound the big right-hander Mike Torrez he won the ballgame Game three by a score of 5-3 he allowed only seven hits he struck out season-high of time it was only in the third inning of the ballgame that he got in trouble with Smith singled Garvey singled at and with a two-out home run by Dusty Baker that was really the only mistake he made in that ball game the nine strikeouts as I said high for the year he was consistently over 90 miles an hour with his fastball in winning game number three and Billy Martin there is confident he's the man to have on the mound tonight Tommy Lasorda pensive but in his own way confident saw his team win when it had to on Sundays confident they can win when they have to tonight now as davey lopes walks to the plate once again tom seaver well I think as I was saying in the pregame show pieces what the Dodgers establish that they did have momentum and they established that by being able to go to the opposite field the Dodgers were prior to this have been up there trying to hit the ball a hitter try to pull the ball a hitter as much easier to pitch to if he tries to pull the ball an especially here in Yankee Stadium great big Yankee Stadium if the Dodgers trying pull the ball I think tonight they might well be back on the plane heading for LA before midnight Davey Lopes takes the first pitch from dick Mike Torrez who signed for 20,000 bucks out of Topeka Kansas ball one hind inside and Locust goes for pitch number two doesn't get it and it's one in one Davey 3 for 20 with one home run and Torrez starts out the game at 91 miles an hour on the jugs gun that's feet on the ground right to the shortstop Bucky Dent one this Yankee crowd will be roaring all night long with every single out though they know they can win it right here they get a world championship with one more game Bill Russell the Dodger shortstop Reggie Smith on deck Russell now 4 for 23 with 2 runs batted in and a curve ball fights the corner strike one get toward Willie Randolph the second baseman to out Tom do you prefer for working every fourth day or every fifth day a worker is our fifth in our work with four days rest because Mike prefers working in rotation and he doesn't mind working on three days rest he's a little bit different pitcher than I am is a sinker ball pitcher or on a riding fastball registers investors on a high fastball a two run home run in game number two a two-run home run in game number five for Reggie Smith he has a total of four runs batted in five for 18 hits it toward the left side big mouths get knocked down you'll have no play waiting on the official scorers to call it look like if he'd handled it cleanly he would have had to play they call it error on the shortstop they don't want Reggie I want to keep Reggie off the bases because he's so much more effective as a left hand button on the right-hand batter and tar is pitch to wet but he should have had the blood Ron Cey now cleanup hitter is at the plate with two up Reggie Smith on first and Steve Garvey on deck and the is outside for ball one Preston Gomez coaches a third for the Dodgers Jim Gilliam at first red Adams is the pitching coach when his file if it is fouled or not Reggie Smith Kenna's on down to second so apparently it was not fouled away or at a big clunk I guess it came off Thurman Munson's chest protector or mass to Yankee defensive mistakes in the first inning they had not made an error in the entire series until Sunday's game when they made two costly ones one by Piniella one by nettles that led to the Yankees zooming to a five to nothing lien instead of Pabst to the Dodgers zooming to apply to nothing instead of perhaps a two to nothing lead assball charged to Thurman Munson error on the shortstop passed ball Cey looks it is low ball 2 2 & 1 now with Smith at second base we have come from summer weather to winter or almost winter weather certainly autumnal where the temperature going into the 40's tonight say looks at his low 3 & 1 incidentally the Dodgers with eight home runs just one short of the team record of nine set back in 1955 when Duke Snider hit four low ball four to Dodgers fourth now Steve Garvey in my opinion tom seaver key man in a pressure ballgame like this because he does have the favorites to ride the ball normally where it's pitch well he was a much different hitter in Los Angeles on Sunday I really do think the part of the Dodgers problem when they first came in here they tried to hit the ball out of the ballpark he's down talking to them before the game and they talked among themselves there wasn't a kvass meeting but Garvey clearly established that he would go to right field Sunday in Dodger Stadium low ball one which I might add is the Jet Propulsion Center in the daytime if the ball and it counts Gary's garrison Popeye get hit it out anywhere though were those massive forearms as Smith leads at second and Cey leads at first and the pitch to Garvey low ball two to no strikes Dusty Baker is on deck Torres is in trouble not really of his own making Arab ident opened the door the pass ball by Munson added to it and then Torres himself did add to it with the base on balls to say all's hit down the right-field line and go to the corner here from prison on second base he'll score Ron Cey is turning third he's coming to the plate here's the Steve Garvey goes all the way to third base and the Dodgers made scooter nothing well that's just what Tom Seaver said going the right-field and the Yankees continue to pitch him outside when the book of most gouts is especially in a ballpark like this as we look at it again Steve hitting it to the right side the book is pitch Garvey in in in on that pitch you could hear this you see Smith's coronet ball and Reggie getting it down on the right-field corner Ron Cey of course scored on the triple as well that ball Steve went right with the pitch you saw Thurman set up outside and he went right with that's the pitch that those hitters the Dodger hitters we're trying to pull before and if you try and pull that pitch it's a long flyball to centerfield or left-center field Dusty Baker up there 6 for 20 in the series he has one homer he s 5 runs batted in and Mike Torrez now down in the ball game 2 to nothing as a man at third and Garvey and he is now at 2 and O and consistently has been low and away again he is blown away go back to that point of a that you see Billy Martin that last time we had a six-game World Series was 1959 when the Dodgers beat the White Sox a long time ago aired one it's three and one to Dusty Baker with Rick Monday on deck he was three one to say and now he's three one here to Baker you'll watch dusty release pin if he gets his pitch fouls it off and it's ball at three and two that pitch is outside and he tried to pull the ball now that's exactly what the Dodgers can't do that pitch has got to be at the right center if he hits that ball well and does pull it there's no way that he can pull it out of the ballpark Perez made a good pitch on the outside part of the plate you've got to go with that pitch dick Tidrow is in the Yankee bullpen there he is bullpens are covered because people were throwing things down in there the other night they put a cover off call him out on a fastball thrown through with a letter but the Dodgers use an error a passed ball a walk and a crippled by Steve Garvey as you see Baker go down swinging and they jump out to a 2 to nothing lead they got the two runs on one hit to nothing Dodgers the Yankees coming up as the Yankee starting lineup Mickey rivers centerfield he's 4 for 23 on the series steady going Willie Randolph is 4 for 21 Thurman Munson comes into the series like Garvey with 7 hits out of 21 turns at bat Reggie Jackson having a good series 6 of 17 Chris Chambliss well he hasn't had that good a series but still he's 5 for 20 and Greg nettles 4 for 17 he's been struggling Lou Piniella has been a consistent hitter six of nineteen and Bucky Dent has surprised at the plate really with par-4 17th pitcher of course is Mike Torrez hurt by the era and the fastball in the first inning that led to two Dodger runs keep the defense both runs unearned in left-field for Los Angeles Dusty Baker got the only Dodger error Center seals and I for the right-hander pitching it is Rick Monday hidden from the left side in right field Reggie Smith for the right-hander pitching he also goes to the power side his power side the left the inner defense the penguin Ron Cey is at third base at SAC shortstop it will be build muscle and over at second base the Whippet for the Dodgers the man they need on base Davey Lopes the top of the order and the man who delivered the triple a moment ago for the two earner and Ron Steve Garvey back of the plate big three-run homer for him on Sunday Steve Yeager and on the mound Burt Hooton won the game six to one here at New York game number two the only real pressure he had put on him with Randolph's single Munson's single Jackson with a double play to get in the New York run in the fourth and fifth innings only time the Yankees were able to put any pressure on him in game number two now the top of the order for the Yankees Mickey rivers Willie Randolph and Thurman Munson in game number three in Los Angeles was Mickey rivers most productive outing it's the ball high in the air to the left side and it's drifting toward the crowd but Baker goes right tumbles into the car the cat breed cat the Dodgers with that two runs in the bank obvious alive obviously alive and well up for the occasion watch Baker now as he goes right to the wall the fence is low there it is also padded he can afford to bump it reaches and then goes almost into somebody's left if they could one out and the pitch to Randolph from Burt Hooten is lowball one Oh ball two I would imagine is as comforting for Burt to note the rotation of the umpires in the series to see the national income would be back to the plate tonight it's amazing John McSherry is probably one of the few umpires in the National League that you might consider even to be a highball umpire he's a big man he must weigh about 260 pounds in probably six six and he'll call more high strikes that almost any other national league umpire 3 and 1 the count now on Willie Randolph for Thurman Munson in the on-deck-circle to nothing Dodgers are two unearned runs Russell Flags it down correctly and boseok Randolph I noticed last week from the Gaggia here in the second game that Bill Russell was out there for 20 minutes early with Jim Gillian just needed one ground ball after another working that is hired shortstop area because it's a little bit different year ball tends to carry more bounce to the right every time because it it slants that way slants down Bucky Dent's spent almost a half hour explaining the infield lie to keep the other day when we were here to stop the series Thurman Munson low ball one Munson has hit safely in nine straight games in the World Series including the last year he has been brilliant and handling the New York pitching a roller toward the shortstop Russell Russell almost pulled it down the line and go Garvey off the bag but Steve able to handle we played one inning the Dodgers lead the Yankees 2 to nothing the Dodgers jump on top 2 to nothing as we go down to the top of the second inning this telecast presented by authority of Major League Baseball intended solely for the private non-commercial use of our audience any publication reproduction retransmission or other use of the pictures descriptions and accounts of this game without the express written consent of Major League Baseball prohibited the bottom third of the order now for Los Angeles Rick Monday's and immune er Steve Yeager the catcher and Burt Hooton the pitcher the designated hitters not being used this year in the World Series Rick Monday 1 for 8 in the World Series on the ground this campus at first base waves for as the way it makes the play itself on dawn conversation about torres and rest between starts three days one by the moss three you can see better at three days between pitching than any other way we had a Monday night game in Baltimore you may remember Keith the Yankees against the birds we were with Mike that day was due to pitch that night he made that very point fouled off by Steve Yeager 6 for 16 two home runs and five runs batted in and the Commissioner with the eternal phone in his hand not only that wearing a sweater not a topcoat and he's probably got theirs Burt Hooten the gaff one strike to Steve Yeager with one out and nobody on the Dodgers on top two to nothing the left pitch is low you know the thing keep about so many days rest three days rest or four days rest you get down and you talk to the pitching coach and talk to a red Adams about his pitchers all is foul and it gets so fine to the point where he'll say well he's pitching with three days rest which means that he's pitching on the fourth day but he's going from a day game to a night game which means four or five extra hours of rest or he's going from a night game to a day game and all those things you know go into the makeup of a pitching coach helping the manager decide who's going to be the best pitcher on a certain day should you pitch him on a Wednesday or wait because we're playing a day game and pitch them on Thursday all those things that's what it's one of the things that a pitching coach does in helping to manager one ball and two strikes now to Steve Yeager with one out swinging them is and the man who'll get the call tomorrow night in Game seven for Los Angeles and lefties and Tommy John a my dad that John Seaver is stunning pitching all over again they've reissued Christie matthewsons 1912 but pitching in a pinch and Tommy is playing paying close attention to it learning how to throw the fade away in the drop the drop still trying to learn the drop Burt Hooton the pitcher at the plate hits the ball to right-field short right Reggie Jackson comes in makes the catch and Mike Torrez gets the Dodgers in order in the top of the second difference so after an inning and a half the score Los Angeles to New York nothing bottom of the second inning for the Yankees middle of the order Reggie Jackson Chris Chambliss Greg Nettles three tough left handed out the Mayor Tom Bradley from North there Abraham brain team of New York on the right and Mayor Tom go bundled up in me used to this 56 degree weather 80 degrees on their way yeah remember what color is here though leaves turning beauty of autumn songs even Southern California now comfortably ensconced in a rebuilt barn in Connecticut and loving every minute went from my smiling walking to wits today with my two dogs can't get in the house she kicked me out I can't get back you I don't have a key Reggie up now the base Burt Hooten the is high two balls and no strikes revolve and mofo Mike Torrez and Thurman Munson sat in side-by-side the Yankee dugout last pitch was an interesting pitch he got behind Reggie Juneau still for the knuckle curveball Oh in game number two when Hooton beat the Yankees Jackson struck out looking hit into a double play struck out swinging at a fire ball to Center Liang keys have their own feelings about Hooton having seen them once Tom and I with the Yankee super Scout Bertie Tibbetts whose thesis is you just go with the pitch don't try to overpower Chris Chambliss low ball one over Hooton now he is yet to put one in the strike zone Dodgers lead two to nothing a pair of unearned runs the top of the first inning there is one of those high strikes Tom Seaver talked to very good Keith excellent that strike a lot of umpires the National League you won't get that at this price it will be too hard one in one campus Jackson off first Bluffs doesn't go low made this point several times during this little series but a picture cannot get behind hitter got behind Reggie Jackson 3 and O's behind 2 and 1 here cannot get behind good hitters and get a we're good hi just as gone well I got a I'm sure we'll see that replay them and I've got to make a point here he was free and all - pardon me - and over Reggie Jackson he threw the knuckle curveball for ball three he got behind Chris Chambliss here and came here with a fastball a low fastball he cannot pitch behind the major leagues I just can't say it enough because it's such a basic principle of fishing you cannot give good hitters like Chris Chambliss or Jackson upper hand another look as the ball sails into the seats of shamless bat Matt Adams to the mound to talk to the pitcher Burt Hooton and Elias Sosa is up in the bullpen and gherkin regulars reaction Keith jubilation he's got two fingers up he's a nice two runs right there nine quickly nobody out bottom of the second and the history of Burt Hooton has been its documented that it he does not often have consecutively good back-to-back performances that's so still working in the Dodger bullpen Thomas order can't fiddle around he can't wait for a pitcher to find his groove not down three games to two game number six cleaned up some of the debris the banners or whatever it was they came floating out onto the field of streamers in the pitch now Greg nettles is low ball one remember in Philadelphia when Bert didn't get a couple of calls right for it he came unglued till he did sharp shot Garvey blow off the bat of nettles folded sharply makes to put out that's the first out to leave I was against the Philadelphia pitcher Christensen who was at the plate Booton saudi atom struck out the empire said no and he walked Christiansen and then the next greenback has gone at no recourse but to take him out red Adams there in the dugout the pitching coach talking to the manager Tom Lasorda the batter is Lou Piniella up for the first time Piniella six for 19 with two runs batted in he swings and fouls it away he had a single in three trips against Burt Hooton in game number two ah five all Reggie Smith right fielder makes the catch in short the right center to our Yankees shortstop Bucky Dent a 2 2 ballgame campus long home run at 385 at 10:00 some with Jackson aboard if had a single in three trips against Hooton first time you looked at it at fetch thrown to the hands out of the strike zone took the truck didn't get it the bezel knuckle curveball his head on that that one really dropped off the table there's another one same thing ground ball down to Davie Loki inning is over for the Yankee but homer and we're all even at two at the end of to where you see this fiber new having trouble getting over so far in a ball game this is the first pitch teammate the Bundys yet the knuckle curveball now watch the action on this it's a dandy whoo I'm just a toe defensive swing that he had that was the best knuckle curve that he's had since the game started Oh Burt Hooton reflecting in the Los Angeles dugout sitting alongside Rick Monday as the top of the Dodger order will come to the plate now in the top of the third inning Davey Lopes Billy Russell and Reggie Smith you might say that the Yankees now grab that momentum back to their side la has got an excellent chance to get it right back they've got the top of their lineup coming up right here in the top of the bird Torres is blowing away ball one the Davy Lopes and grounded to the shortstop Bucky Dent first time up how's that away for strike 1 1 & 1 Lopes has stolen two bases in the series it's a high pop out of play New York has one stolen base that from Mickey rivers neither team has run that much opportunity has not been there pretty funny thing about that Martin has a reputation as a venture some gambling manager but his bosses call him a conservative men particularly gave all fouled up and he is indeed just that might again make the point to that the New York Yankees are in the World Series and went through the playoffs with 24 players instead of a normal 25 that would because of the Carlos may trade to California in 16th of September they were not allowed to replace him in the West Whitey Herzog said they could have made back big gap in right-center field defensively for Lopes he punted out there he can run a while 2 & 2 the count blow it away you can be sure doesn't want to lose davey lopes yetis in danger of doing just that it's the bald black beret whoa Mike throws it on a bounce the necklace went out the simplest kind of a little play be careful or it'll get away and you see that replay now that I think that really showed what I was talking about a hitters trying to pull the ball now that ball was on the outside part of the plate Davy was trying to pull the ball when you do those things you hit a lot of pop flies you had a lot of weak ground balls Bill Russell career-high during the regular season and batting at 278 Rose it the Bucky Dent down I'll tell you this the Dodgers aren't looking long at Mike Torres are they right fuming Vicki Smith how about that that's an empty amount also a record Tama takes that to buy furniture for the bond breaking pitch is inside and low to Reggie Smith got a Bourdon dense error moved to second on Munson's fastball scored when Darby's cooker we talked about the importance of these two guys the leadoff hitter folks from Russell now the reason being obviously you look at Reggie Smith up at the plate right now he's up but nobody on base he seems to be at least doubly more effective though the batting averages don't show if counting left he has against batting right tremendous hitter from the left side and he's becoming a tremendous force in his World Series and a big day Sunday Peter O'Malley son of Waller omen now running the ball club here is the pitch by Tars again right in his wheelhouse I mean that is right down the old poop chute and goodbye a huge kick you couldn't put it on a tee better than that Reggie Smith so the momentum the town's been talking about goes right back to the Dodgers and the batter is Ron Cey the cleanup hitter right on the outside corner it was a high strike interesting stats five runs only three base hits remember the first two Dodger runs what unearth Torrez walked Cey back in the first inning inside and hi the score is now three to Los Angeles top of the third there he is leads the series in home runs with three feeling pretty good go to the hole black I never pick it up he almost had a play on it hit a good stuff I don't think Jeff would have been able to get say in the hole well he's got some Golden Gloves in his closet old his mantle he described that ball he knocked it down and turns around I'll be right out in front of him busy to pick it up on the first Jam Mike right there he still might have a play that he misses that one whoop he stole he would have had a playoff thing could be bentonville picked that one up base hit third of the game for the Dodgers 3-2 Los Angeles on Reggie Smith's solo homerun Ron Cey is on first Steve Garvey who crippled home two runs his first time up he's the guys piling up the hits leads all hitters with eight hits now in the series or as curves him outside he said on Sunday that not been a dominant hitter in the series in terms of a bassist talked about Brock and Richardson with 13 Abby's in 68 and 64 at home run incidentally by Reggie Smith ties the all-time Dodger record for the series said in 1955 the series in which Duke Snider struck four they're talking now I've just mid to the bullpen as Yogi Berra hangs up and we'll have some action back there with Garvey fouling it away there's the man's been dick Tidrow second time dick has been up he got up back in the first inning when like this approach to out here Garvey hits it deep to center Gerber's backs up may have to move guys that's the track Mexico so the Dodgers regained the lead at the top of the 3rd 3 2 2 on Reggie Smith's home run from the helicopter this picture of Yankee Stadium on this October 18 1977 and the Dodgers lead the Yankees by a score of 3-2 in game number 6 trying to take it through 7 game the Dodgers of the first city Smith reached for an error Cey walked Garvey tripled Dodgers led it to nothing Yankee second Jackson walks Chambliss former 2 - Dodger third Smith home run Dodgers 3 2 and Mike Tory is up for the first time at the plate Queens and misses for strike one with Mickey rivers on deck and Willie Randolph to follow I was Houten's fastest pitch 92 miles per hour Tom Seavers consistently emphasized from the very first pitch you can't get behind the hitters through two innings Hooton has not had a count of more than one strike on any heavy that's the first time two strikes and he does it against the opposing pitcher natural ha ha ha no pity for us we've hit her struck him out that's one malbert will have to work his way through them and the top of the Yankee batting order now Mickey rivers and then William Randolph rivers fouled out Dusty Baker who tumbled into the seats the night the guy leaves the game eat on the ground foul keep talking about rain being in the offing but so far we haven't seen anything goodness Toki don't I get some tomorrow this there I kept under two hours tomorrow thundershowers oh oh stop Keith you know it lean against nice autumn weather that is low:11 to Mickey rivers one out and nobody on she was pretty looking out the window today except for park with leave starting to turn I'll admit it ball is fouled off to the left side out of way I'll take two of mustard only please that's merciless I haven't had a chance to eat this is high 2 & 2 I thought never tasted anywhere like it does at a ballpark get brainwashed bad I guess is found I saw here two balls and two strikes with one out and nobody aboard at store davey lopes second basemen guns into first you've got two down it was on a cold windy and wet day in Chicago at Wrigley Field in 1972 in April that Burt Hooton drew his no-hitter against the Phillies that won't happen tonight old weather doesn't bother it Willie Randolph takes the ball inside all - that's been part of our first problem here tonight Giza the knuckle curveball has not been able to get it over for a strike and that one was way high everyone there's that high so I think about right like sherry John will make sure ATM will give you a funeral you still get the low pitch but you'll get more high strikes from him than you will most other national league umpire Burke might escape with his breaking pitch high tubes as he does really hard high flyball Davey Lopes drifting back into short Center Rick Monday Cunningham Rick calls him off and makes the catch of the Yankees are going in order here in the bottom of the third Eddy though we've traveled three innings of play in the score the Dodgers three to the Yankees to the great sports artist well here I mean he did that great bureau of the Montreal Olympics many of you probably seen it on television as we look at a call ball on SEO acre at the end of the Olympics he has Frank Gifford to take a look at it give an opinion Gifford said looks like a pizza after Frank caught up What did he say maybe gift was hungry yeah we're not doing a bet you better job up here in the booth or so two balls and no strikes now it's three you know Dusty Baker the man who did most of the damage in Los Angeles to Mike Torrez and that five free gain as dusty hit a three-run homer on the only mistake really the Torrez made the hole it is now three and one if b9 3 and nothing new I hit a like Baker you're asking for trouble just good chance have the ball hit hard someplace high drive to right center Jackson going back going back on the track regimented Oh Baker gave it a ride 380 feet Reggie Jackson made the catch on the track at 385 only the dimensions of this ball bought to meet it Baker on that one dentro again in the pen for New York third time up Rick Monday now at the plate do you think that last ball have been out Sunday afternoon at the whole stadium at all chariot propulsion right monday hold it sharply to Chambliss his first time up tonight over one inside ball one one and one one out nobody on Dodgers lead three to Dargis to play long ball but the Yankees though home run and the triple the big blows for their three run watched over the shortstop's head into left field for a base hit by Rick Monday Oh Piniella sliced down but gets it in that is the fourth year to the ballgame for the Dodgers Piniella repairing the turf skeevy at Steve Yeager walks to the plate see Lou slapping down put put up from underneath but he held Monday at first base now here is Yeager bream on Homer or him this bill down the line it is a fair ball that comes off toward the leftfielder Piniella Monday goes into second base out of stretch that's very good aggressive baserunning by Steve Yeager it's a ball down in the corner of Piniella made a fine play ball careened off the side wall and he made a good throw to second base and just nipped it but that's still good aggressive baserunning when you're up by one run we said earlier in this series Piniella can fool you Billy Martin's at the mound now conference with Torrez and Munson because obviously the hitting jars two hits in this in it both good shots but Piniella who is not the fleetest man of foot once he get to the ball he saw it he will usually hold it despite the air on Sunday and he will make an accurate throw as he did that what about that play he made on Saturday sensational of Ronnie's say the play still of the series superb catch Bert Hooton now with two out and a chance to help himself with Rick Monday at third base Dodgers lead 3-2 booting up at a flyball caught by Reggie Jackson in short ride his first time up ball one from Mike Torrez as a strike this one a month top of the order Davey Lopes waiting on deck time called now by the umpire down the first base line nestor shylack if the series goes seven games Nestor will be back behind the plate tomorrow night he's from the American League he is the senior umpire of this group Torrez delivers and lutein swings and misses it's fallen to strike pitches will be tomorrow night Arab left-handers Ron Guidry for the Yankees and Tommy John for the Dodgers Monday big leadoff third or strike three and so the Dodgers are turned away in the top of the fourth inning and the score remains Los Angeles 3 New York 2 preceding a message on behalf of Major League Baseball as we move now to the home half the fourth inning and you look down on Yankee Stadium you can see the Dodgers have three runs on five hits those two runs at the first-inning were both on errands because of an error and a fastball and there is his Lillian Carter who has turned into a coast-to-coast jet setter year with the World Series having the time of her life before her pensive to the moment as he watches Burt Hooton crank up the pitch to Thurman Munson Reggie Jackson and Trish Jeffers it was Jackson examiner's who did the damage to burst back in the bottom of the second inning when he is not getting the knuckle curve in the strike zone and particularly when he starts bouncing that thing in front of the plate he's going to have a long hard night and he has not been sharp tonight when you got a pitch that your number one pitch be like is not preferred ball we've got to be able to get your number one pitch over if you don't you know you kind of beat a good ball club with your number two thing and you could not be able to do it do you want some not able to get your fast hallway I'm on it the days are gone you don't have a festival that's the beautiful thing that's the artificial being able to do something when you don't you know the greatest stuff in the world Thurman Munson takes huh that's a high number curve ball he's got to get that establish that pitch get it over he's going to be effective I believe the Dodger pen is quiet for the moment Sosa was up in the second that graphic an index to the consistency of Thurman Munson got the laugh he'll base hit April cuts it off hurries it back in the hole and I think that illustrates you know that's the high fastball Hooten second pitch and Munson courses laced it left field for a base hit so Thurman now has eight hits in the series even as Steve Garvey does the two vying it's a hit Reggie Jackson then they Thank You Jackson Billy long as he comes up for this the series quickly I had some see the Hitmen a lot this talk about Fairhope so far the ballgame for New York Reggie Smith for Los Angeles the edges are back on top four to three nobody out Chambliss at the plate Amazon Dec Piniella to follow Sosa in the Dodger bullpen now this is obviously a stall move for Thomas order he'll give a little hand signal out to Davy Lopes at second base on they come in to talk to his pitcher give the pitcher to Vulcan a little bit more time we'll see if this is a fast ball they're trying to pitch hard stuff in on Jackson that's right in his wheelhouse he just spins on that ball and hits it to short porch here in the Yankee Stadium strike one December that ball went out of here at about 320 feet maybe 25 didn't have a whole lot of lift on it but stour did have a lot of velocity one ball and one strike a sort of moving around as it is two and one here he comes right now I didn't think it'd be much longer it was time to sort of take him out or just Cockburn I'm not sure until happier the meantime some almost unnoticed Reggie Jackson 7 out of 18 on the series and he's now tied with Dusty Baker and Steve Yeager at 5 RBIs for the series Reggie's having a big series as the conversation goes on the Mac let's quickly go to the record book the jury fly in six-game series babe ruth's kept resisting now Reggie Smith and Reggie Jackson have hit three home runs in a six game sir should add that Reggie Smith has five ribbies on the series so it's a hallway job John McSherry Tom Lasorda engaging in conversation Reggie Jackson don't blame me a bit red one of the few times I've seen him smile in the last seven days rounds over there they're cleaning up the field as some stuff has come on an alias so Sanaa will be coming on and apparently is going to replace her kook time is up there's a story on the pitcher to tonight's ballgame and that's a book born Burt Hooton because he's gone after three innings flush total of four runs three earned on three hits he walked one and he's gone Mike Torres crossed away in the bullpen now with a one run lead and some of the burden of the evening has now shifted off not only to the relief man for the Dodgers but through the rest of the Yankee pitching staff because they have an a Reggie Jackson hitting one of the two home runs struck off Burt who the first by Chris Chambliss the two runs of I'm shot isolation of booths the story of Reggie Jackson all year long the principal actor in the Yankees daily soap opera now it is 2 & 1 on Chris so she comes in and he misses high and away the best ball to make it free at one bottom of the fourth inning nobody out I fall let's skip to the left side Billy Russell going over Oh No you could smell trouble on that one Baker was coming in cautiously thinking Russell had it volunteer and suddenly Russell realized he didn't have it bow in hand at all what's this communication a long way out there dusty had to come a long way plain you know this huge Yankee Stadium outfield but there's no excuse for that when you're a championship team that's the I got it you take it kind of play so Chambliss has the double and he is 76 - on the series this is where Alfonse and Gaston broken here's the pitch now and it'll blow it away nobody out Chambliss at second base two runs are in the Yankees are leading four to three there's a lot of people standing is in the Dodger bullpen but at the moment nobody slowest so far bringing a good hard fastball and a good hard slider keep in mind that nettles is a dead fastball hitters do this job is going to get to be our second and the over to third like another run make it 5-2 free balloon loose on the field Dick Howser checks it Bobby Cox coaching that first base have dick over to third I'm scoring the game at this point trying to break it over here in the bottom of the fourth inning the game the food outside too no strikes get on the ground the Lopes at second throws out letters that was the first out of the inning he did his job he moved him over with one out we've got the runner on third now it's pinellas task there's really almost no way for us to keep elephant getting that guy over there other than topping it up Drake is a dead fastball hitter a dead pull hitter runner on second base always got to do is pull the ball on the ground like that that's an easy guy over to third base he did exactly that Herod did his job now he needs a sacrifice fly for Piniella Yankees will be up 5 to 3 who run lead in this game for the team that has the edge of the series as a big lead with arrested Sparky Lyle already and snortin to come and it's fouled off his gut rau a lowball pitcher had a brief life last Saturday against the AG bells in a merrily got him out early rhoden came on to do a great job but ron guidry was even better right one to lose vanilla one out campus at third my ball will provision social throws hard 92 miles an hour there's the man of third the infield is up obviously over the latter third the outfield straightaway Reggie Smith not too deep in right I feel he has room packs I was warned boost hinted Yellin Lou and are happy for Lou sacrifice fly driving the fifth three runs in this inning that of course is exactly what when you do your job and moving the runner over better now up you get and his shortstop he checks them get an appeal at first base miss Petrak says no didn't go through so oh wait umpire called it why are you begging to Shila his shoes down firing back there a little bit himself I think hey he's really throwing that ball so so 93 miles per hour Bucky ticky in Toms terms breathing Christie Matheson the modern-day player is bringing it the home plate 3 in 1 the count lucky dead Yankees 5 3 there's a strike cuando Reggie's talking to Tom maybe he's making a plane reservation I think the Yankees have got it wrapped up tip house it sharply on the left side the ball boy makes a good play folks over there fun to talk him out of the ball out his 3m2 that's interesting John anybody on the Reds ever talking on the phone any player during the game maybe Lori's head might be over in dinner you'd ever know reservations for 300 here's the pitch inside you might be talking to one law Yankee Scouts in the stands who sends down my future instructions where to play what the guy is throwing and all the rest by the way that was laughed at by a lot of teens Tommy but now your own team has come to GG Michael was telling us the other day remember the Reds have come to jeans and talk to them about exactly what the Yankees did seams are beginning to get very interested by King is the guy doing it here in this hemisphere is along the separate house bird eat Evans red Adams talking to the volca and you start analyzing it right here I'm talking to Reggie don't think so break adventure on the corner strike one I got to give you another little sidelight into pitching here Sosa walking eighth place hitter one of the cardinal rules of a of a pitcher not only not walking a pitcher you get that eighth place hitter out especially with two outs Torrez gets it on the ground the Bill Russell I'll explain that when we come back it's a big one for the Yankees they score three they lead 5-3 to the top of the fifth inning we go now for the Los Angeles Dodgers the Lions score showing you that the Yankees with three big runs in the bottom of four lead the Dodgers 5-3 and trying to slam the door on his big right-hander Mike Torrez and he'll be pitching to the top of the order Davey Lopes that a Russell and Reggie Smith and what was that you can explain Tom we're talking about the eighth place hitter trying to give you some of the thought processes that a pitcher should be going through on the mound we've got two outs nobody on eighth place hitter up if you get him out this insurer is really concerned about the next inning as well now starting the next inning that pitcher would be facing the pitcher which is almost like getting one out for the next inning as a result now Sosa is going to come back out there he'll be facing the top of the lineup Mickey rivers instead of the pitcher where he could get an easy out next inning Davey Lopes hitless in two trips tonight Bill Russell and Reggie Smith and he shortens up brings metals charging in from third base takes it 4-1 there's no way the Yankees can feel secure though they have to feel good about their two-run lead because as men and boy knows that very well this Dodger team has shown its comeback capacity audience shout it in the world series most looking at Preston Gomez a third as we look in the Dodger dugout it's the bow high in the air to left field Lou Pinella has plenty of time you now it's Bill Russell with the bases clean in front of it Sparky Lyle shows up for the first time tonight in the Yankee bullpen there is he's been looking for work the last three days he may be over rested low from Torrez football one to Russell Russell also hitless in two trips outside Tara's getting behind the head is dumb Martin goes Billy Martin do he noticed it as well.did davey lopes now to a no to Bill Russell you know talking about Sparky Lyle you're talking about a real professional in the baseball game as a pitcher and even though he hasn't been in a game they got those complete games from Korres and get me and all that dummy games even always not going to get in and he'll get up and throw on the bulkhead he might fall for two when he's down there if he knows that he needs to work they won't call from the bullpen Sparky knows what he has to do to keep himself ready even if the Yankees were hit center nothing green disease no get up sometimes and throw in the bullpen it is now free nothing at a frisbee on the field Terra's getting himself into trouble and Reggie Smith up net for yep here comes the big man I talked about it we talked about at the top of the third inning talking about momentum swinging back and forth the Yankees it looks like the Dodgers to the sacrum Smith home run and out looks like the Yankees have taken her back they get one or two of those leadoff hitters for the Dodgers on and bring this power up easy DoublePlay not this time a 6-4-3 double play the Dodgers are gone after four and a half Yankees five Dodgers three Reggie Jackson in the Yankee dugout as the top of the order comes to the plate Mickey rivers Willie Randolph Thurman Munson Reggie would be the fourth hitter the Yankees five Dodgers three bottom of the fifth inning Elias Sosa both good rivers the right-center face OH rivers is on of the first time now--so says a couple of worries Randolph who can hit and run FOIA but rivers the speedster and rivers you can steal means I'm Tommy Reggie Smith did exactly what you said they shouldn't do chimed fully outside plus the double play right can't fry it up on one you can hit your home runs if you hit thirty some-odd home runs a year you're going to hit if you're going to get your picture to hidden but it's tough to manufacture so she goes to first doctors think that Billy Martin might send him and that's exactly the routine when he goes he goes because Billy Martin wants him to rendalf back in Wow the doctor bullpen again River is a short lead not going Randolph shortens to bunt takes a strike Ron Cey popping in from third brow arming in the pin pressures on Steve Yeager here as well if they do sin rivers you're got to be quick where a girl with a magnificent are better defensive catchers in baseball save short a third every short lead at first not going but very first a second hey Kenny you threw out second base a real fine play by jäger not only is the announcing any defensive catcher he is one of the tough knows character baseball today this takes us back to the very first game of the World Series when we saw Jerry grote make consecutive plays of bat shy I just have to the finest catchers defensive catchers in baseball you look at that guy's going down to second base he's got a throw out Mickey rivers all failed on him just a little bit too ugly thought elected to bunt with rivers a speedster on base you ball out conservative play or benches that's very conservative or exactly I'll take it there are a lot of things you can do there you can try and steal you can try and hit and run most conservative player would be too funny Thurman Munson singled and scored Iran in two trips the umpire John McSherry put a new ball in play one out one on bottom of the fifth inning the Yankees on top five to three heylia's social came into the fourth inning bird movement with granik's bus or run free earn charge against Randolph himself his feast the damaged knee which he was protective about a thing of the past pitch is outside as Yeager saw Munson slide up to that handle with one out as if they might be thinking about moving Randolph the second the monster so steady men on base so tough I think that's a trifle if he's thinking about but he sees say way back at third base okay Lucas thinking right now he's going to take a shot at that whole right side in my prize huh and they might try hit run porno now a good count to do it there's the big hole between Garvey and Lopes first Munson could go to right field as well as anybody at baseball he's ahead in the count now a lot of things offensively that a team can do here so suppose it to trying to keep him close to the bag Jackson of course is on deck did the fourth man come to the play to this inning does something here went out Randolph the first banana peel Flags it down rose quickly back in Randolph it reached the first place to up I notice when Rick Monday started in center field like the turf kicked up under his foot he almost slipped they hit quite a bit of rain here the other day on a raid at home there's a lot of water on the ground he saw Piniella slip earlier as well Reggie Jackson who has walked and homered scored twice knocked into ray home runs in the series social breaks the tension by throwing over the whole rainbow most again two out series for Richie yeah way to becoming to win comes to this often works fine better pay that man three million dollars 2.9 million dollars get super into this game it looks like that investment is paying off assball right down to shoot this turn just fins on it he's got a short porch in right field and a big strong man Reggie yes I can do Yankees go ahead 73 something something I'll always remember that ball just got in at that point the outfield fence is at its highest it's nine feet high Reggie Jackson the other day in his room with me on his way to meeting Billy Martin for an apparent Ramos font book a treasure he had to eat bro he knew it he didn't wanted to but he did it and he'll be back next year says John Steinbrenner and Martin is already assured of being back next year victory can bring harmony Doug rau gets the call and he will be coming in from the Dodger bullpen as Reggie goes successive home run the Yankees now lead seven to three and the Dodgers are trouble time is out as the blue pitcher dog round come we'll be back with more in a moment the Dodger pitcher the third of the night dog growl his seasonal record reflected there it was in the start in Los Angeles where he was shelled by the Yankees when he got a surprise start for the Dodgers and he didn't last very long as Reggie Jackson the fourth home run in one series ties a World Series record you could find almost any kind of record if you want to go deep enough for his record book profits one inning as he delivers now to Chris Chambliss in Los Angeles he was hit four hits three runs and all three were earned two balls and no strikes now to Chris Chambliss with two-out and Greg nettles on deck seven to three eally on the Border's wreck one rezian now has a total of seven RBIs in a World Series the Garbi stay we'll do it himself at the but so much was done for the Los Angeles Dodgers after five innings seven to three New York back with more after this word from our local station the scene just a few moments ago as Reggie Jackson went to his defensive position in right field you might call it a grand Iseman of an athlete's ass we did all is especially for that man but all the robust this year all of the problems with media people the problems with his managing us we didn't mean for the Los Angeles Dodgers now down by four big run against Mike Torrez Ron Cey Steve Garvey and Dusty Baker and if you think this team will quit your mistake it's all one it is not however the ballpark to get it out very often at the left side of it is so big at 387 left going over to 4:30 left center 417 in center Ron stay with a ban on his shoulder looking at Mike Torres go to 3 and go Zara's has been behind a lot of hitters conceived his constant one quickly behind three and on safe there's a strike of Sparky Lyle is up in the Yankee bullpen but if he starts getting behind this is exactly what the Dodgers need there Sparky Lyle they don't need homeruns in the box they need single fan he's going to play their game to the office acetyl they're going to start getting away from the home run they don't need to hold back Ron Cey that's after falling behind and played he comes back and strikes out the Dodgers need base runners you get behind by this month we're down four runs you've got where it needs to go take the ball to the other field just take a single Peck away get two runs here get two runs there batter now is Steve Garvey simple and a flyball to Center if both well plastered drag it down the third-base side with Greg Nettles deep pow the ink is trying to win their 21st World Championship the history of the ballclub what a history in this ball no benches garbage dead side-eye flips it up to the plate anyway the good Thurman he said was a good fist of their word it was a strike that in your repertoire whoever loses his sense of humor I fly ball to right center playable Jackson coming over Reggie now it is just a baker's seven degree in the top of the six that's awesome ever as known as dead rail high ball left Piniella goes back to the track Perez gets the Dodgers in order in the top of the sixth inning the Yankees lead 73 arrays like upon history everywhere aren't they yep George Herman Babe Ruth one of six players who have hit four home runs in a World Series not busted fourth out in center field where the Yankee bullpen is there are the six players oh babe the Iron Horse Lou Gehrig the Duke of Flatbush Duke Snider Hank Bauer to that great Yankee career Gene Tenace and now Reggie Jackson right battle takes a strike Doug rau it'll be Lou Pinella and Bucky Dent for New York the pitcher spot the fourth hitter no reason not to think Mike Torres won't be there devil swings and misses on a breaking pitch and quickly aroused in front two strikes Dodger pen for the moment splat itch outside this figures to be raus last inning if he gets through it because he's up at that next inning and hit him up somebody petals house it into the Yankee dugout Brow's jump at this point the entire garden bullpeners has to hold him they've got the Dodgers have nine outs and get back to the ballgame this can't giving it what giveaway to go rice Doug's job and the entire bowl can hold him right there well he strikes out medals for the first time of the inning he's throwing harder and looks better not that he didn't offend you it really does sweet Lou Pinella the unnoticed Yankee who came through with the sacrifice fly at a very important time in the ballgame for the Yankees did his job he's made another good he's made a fine throw catching Yeager at second when the Dodgers had a rally buddy how's that in the seats the bear Big Mike out of Topeka Kansas side for a mere $20,000 and he's bumped around all over major league baseball he is still destined to be a free agent day after the season's over re-entry draft November 4 but gave Paulin he are getting close ah if you remember teeth with George Steinbrenner sin and the pregame in through pain during on Tom Lasorda space deep deep the center field Rick Monday getting a good break on the ball and you have good visibility of the flow part she lets you out an Ellen excellent low ball headed cocked a lowball to that sacrifice fly earlier on better now Bucky Dent Yankee shortstop to our faces queen it's Heine way this program an exclusive presentation of ABC Sports let's pause five seconds to allow our local stations to identify themselves I fly left-side Baker coming over it's in the seats now you have the knuckler in the Dodger bullpen Charlie Hough who's had an impressive on even his only appearance in the series he made them look helpless when you haven't seen the dancer very often I'll tell you can make a lot of people will help but reginal Martinez Jackson has had a night to remember I think the man just loves thrives on controversy no Reggie for a long time there's Billy hearse a happy Billy Martin Reggie for a long time he was in controversy a controversial team when he was with the Athletics this year is the so far over here with the Yankees he comes out in the game where if they win they go home he gets a couple of dingers dent hits it toward Russell that's the garbage again so the inning is over as rau gets him an order thank you very much thank you good to see a 7-3 this game is still an a view far from over but all year long should the Yankees win they've been characterized in the press is the best team money combined look at the estimated and they're very solid estimates of the salaries of the Yankees rivers at that big Randolph at that figure Munson and Jackson and a similar figure of course bonuses and deferred payments are excluded Chambliss and under 50 nettles in under 35 Piniella 80 10 110 Torrez 85 he now wants to half-a-million and Martin at 100,000 Rick Monday hits it on the ground the second round though Rick Monday leading off and he followed by Steve Yeager as at the pitcher spot that's a lot of loot Tom save it Steve you take all that loot you had on about $32,000 which these Yankees are got a chance to win if they hold on here tonight winner's share in a World Series great big Yankee Stadium contributed to that $32,000 which bikes for the winner's share that's not bad peanuts for about seven days work is it not too bad Mike Torrez pitching to Steve Yeager the catcher say one thing about tor is that I kind of like to considering his circumstances I do like his timing he can last this out ed Goodson on deck has been shooter as he misses low and away the ager for one ball and one strike it's hopeful before that when keep 93 miles an hour so Torres is still firing up the middle by cracky go now they're looking at seven outs now seven out filthy world champions and they very well-known every one of those guys in that field where has been a good play on the mound big guys pretty agile I don't know what really marks out there who attention please maybe Toure hurt himself twisted or something turned his body honey and lipstick now we'll come to the play the left-handed swinger he was in the on-deck circle in one of the games in Los Angeles but don't leave he actually gave to the plate I think obviously that's what Billy came out we're talking about how to pitch to Goodson this is a dead first ball fastball hitter from my little notebook of eleven years of requiring hitter strengths and weaknesses was Goodson smiling on grimacing they're the strike with the appearance of Goodson at the plate though every one of the doctors and I will have a beard in this world sir fouled off Taurus is trying to duplicate his performance of last week he allowed three runs on the Baker home run in the third they never scored on him after that he allowed the third run tonight in the third or one and two and to remind her that only one guy to run has been earth-2 in the first owner door continues after six and a half seven three Yankee knuckleballer Charlie Huff is now on the mound the fourth Los Angeles pitcher and he throws a real dancer let me tell you when you can get it over he's almost impossible let's go back to an earlier piece of videotape as Charlie talks about his pitch knuckleball I think is the weirdest pitch in baseball and possibly the most misunderstood most people think that it's wrong with the knuckles and I don't know of anybody including myself that throws it that way we all throw it with the fingernails maybe not necessarily in the same spot on the ball but we all try and throw it with the fingernails and push the ball out so it has really no rotation on the ball unlike a fastball which has been straight back or a curveball which spins forward and down a knuckleball has no true trajectory and therefore the wind currents in the stadium sometimes make the ball Bob around like a wiffle ball and might break two or three different times on the way of the plate because of these unpredictable breaks that the knuckleball has an oversized catcher's mitt has been developed which is similar to a first baseman's glove which enables the catcher to catch the ball one-handed even though the knuckleball has all this movement it doesn't put very much strain in my arm and it enables me to pitch almost every day hey drive hitters up the wall Lou Pinella is one of those with a kind of stroke that quite possibly could handle it but I doubt very much if the big guy at the plate right now is going to have much luck with it but you never know Mike Torrez the Yankee pitcher he's got a piece of it I don't I don't think if that knuckleball is the main thing on his mind he's thinking about six more out two World Series wins and a championship for his team the New York Yankees that's outside the Yankees his 15 he previously played at Oakland Baltimore and Montreal at st. Louis bring in of s1 and to taking his hacks up there yeah hacking it oh I would I'll bet she he jumps eight feet dear if he goes on and wins this ballgame strikes out back at it if I hit it never know New York City that's going to be the George Washington Bridge and this sedating on shootin gonna scoop him we got more one bridge around here got the prior burglar go the George Washington and a Throgs Neck Evans Rockland and the Queen's bow thank you ever end of jog end of our geography lesson for the better Steve Yeager of course who lives in any there is all that he has tried the handle Charlie Hough's knuckleball the Engel box it around quite a bit size of the glove outside the hurt is great big old man face it the river going to the corner makyo the throw comes in from Reggie Smith and Hurley as disrespect for the man's arm and right field because Mickey rivers can run with anybody in American League if all got down to the corner awfully quickly he guessed that he would think a chance to get the second base with one out on the floor bottom of the seventh inning Willie Randolph is at the plate with one out and rivers at first Cey shortens up summon third through the edge of the crash the muffler is in for a strike Eggar boxes it around and keeps it in front of it Garvey and rivers go to first route kind of quiet down their ballclub leading for seven to three Randolph chops at it fouls it off as a look at Dick Howser now comes back with a boost back down remember how we thought the opening game about nerves and how you get butterflies and opening game the first couple innings it's that way at the end of the World Series it's just your he the end it has to be there's no other way the Yankees have to be thinking ahead to those final six outs Dodgers will have the top of the order coming up at the top of the eighth-inning foul at the plate and the count holds at 1 and 2 on Willie Randolph with one out and rivers at first 21 championship all right goodness see the Torrez started and gone all the way from New York Lasorda working through the ranks of this pitching floor with up being the fourth and Nance Robson is up in the bullpen right now for Los Angeles - and - to Willie Randolph there's the young left-hander for the dodgers lance Robson if he's called it'll be his second appearance series fouled off a net 15 right shoulder see Charlie you could see that time he was sinking his fingers fingernails into the ball rivers off to he's going on to it - it goes to save while he looks at second no play throws out Red Dog Munson up even though therefore ahead this is a big situation home run with the bases loaded can overtake a ball run lead the fifth run is a very precious insurance type of run the Thurman and the Yankees want to hit now hit Thurmond jerk one here he's right back in the MVP month - you really think so well if the Dodgers should make a run in his particular effort has some meaning ballots are probably being cast right about this time that's fouled and I think it's fouled off Thurman he just bailed out right get that metric of it a very really a remarkable competitive though Keith let's look at again right Betty right off that left foot you can scratch him and claw and blood him up but he'll be forever unbowed because this is old scrap on gives more than you'd ever think he had to get or is lucky half of the ballpark today funny-looking thing apparently something's working balloons are floating down onto the field of play will be fall I'll be taking those the Yankee clubhouse save it for a celebration it might be having fun yeah I just have a little tooth down there champagne who bubbly flow it in the clubhouse swing and a miss two strikes if the series ends tonight we will obviously visit with the victors bill white will be this they have not won yet that is high you know Steve Yeager started reaching up and that is the ball got to the plate he just kept going down and finally the one need to chase it down it's one and two to Thurman Munson with two out and Mickey rivers at second base all gets away from Steve throws to first to get Munson and the inning is over so Charlie Hough comes in does his job gets the Yankees go down to the top of the eighth back with more after this word from our local station want to see what Charlie Hough's knuckler can do to you what's this once it ends up there take a good hack get it where it is sometimes it isn't anymore please that applies for Steve he got a piece of it the full Thurman is full speed fully umpire all right it worked for an out anyway coverage is 1977 World Series being brought to you by Chevrolet he watched you today at your Chevrolet dealer and by Gillette makers of rightguard double for secondaries don't get dressed without a TV up of the 830 for the Los Angeles Dodgers the top of the order Davey Lopes Billy Russell Reggie Smith Ron Cey at the fourth man if somebody could get on Mike Torrez working on a five hitter he's allowed three runs two unearned Yankees lead 73 and Torrez throws a bullet in the strike zone the Dodger order is going to be take a strike or is is garlic throw strikes that's going to be as number one purpose right now on the mound get up the middle by Lopes he said well that's the beginning of a restive stir in the crowd and sparked a mile right they've seen this Dodger team fight back before Russell at the plate dial he is hitless in two trips he's walked once circumstance like this takes the wings off the feet of Davey Lopes though thus Russell can hit behind him Reggie Smith to the on-deck circle it's to Russell spike all outside one in one loose very close top of the eighth inning game number six right he went around good high fastball to Russell what's the bet had come through the strike zone sit that's the strike good call 1 & 2 to Bill Russell 2 & 2 Dodgers are not out of this yet they got the leadoff hitter on Davey Lopes this kid here Bill Russell these two guys make this offense roll and you've just missed save Garvey coming up there Martin looking on Dodgers are know we're out of this know rarely out of this yet low and outside it's 3 & 2 nobody out Lopes on first hold count on Russell Smith on deck he walks him you might see a visit from Billy Martin after this very quickly it's it the right Reggie Jackson raises up back sit down and here is the other Ridge they should really be characterized that way none skew of the series he has had the small yes free home run Miss World Series to here in New York inside I'll get just about the same place except I think the one the first visit here the second game was longer they were both monster speed the whole city's hit here is a big strong man he can really get it out there and you saw a shot of Lasorda in the dugout exhorting his team on till it's open unless it's over he won't quit 1 1 pitch inside 2 & 1 Lopes on first one out sort of deserves a lot of credit he had a meeting the other day with it Dodgers were down 3 to 1 call his men and said he was very proud of them each and every one of them and no matter what happened they've all had a great season fouled out of play I tell you it's fun to have a guy like Tom Lasorda in baseball he's a cheerleader that's last pitch by the way Seif 95 miles-per-hour so here in the late going Sara's is still firing he's still fron only about poverty 92 93 pitches he had 86 at the start of this inning no reason really to be tired what Sammis at first base and so the Dodgers couple they'll double play again great double my turn by Chambliss one step in a fine throw to second base here it is another view of it good throw to second base right on the inside part of the bag a perfect throw and just turns it over not even close killing us got back to the bag that's a great double play two outs of the incas indeed three more there will be world champions 1977 and there's their fans leading off this inning against Charlie Hough Reggie Jackson with nine runs in the series toughest double play in baseball and they made it when they had to now listen to the ovation for Reggie Jackson as he comes up to the plate Reggie Jackson has seen two pitches of the strike zone tonight and he said of both in the seat violet Oh how this the whole world together 1977 Lotso glow I'm spirit itself seventy-five feet Taurus don't think they know even in there after all the hassling if Oh the only other man has done that in the World Series he that's pretty splendid company to be in was not named after the babe what got it again we can turn on this pitch knuckleball on no knuckleball it was what Reggie wanted he got great extension of his arms looking stand here look at it he knew it was one a monstrous blow high above the blond with 17 foot bar deep into the empty area without spectators measure at 450 to 475 the sense of release tonight Oh Melvin is rich space one other man has done it Babe Ruth did it twice there's the babe out in that area right next to the Yankee bullpen the noise subsides and with the place and his two balls and no strikes the fire destroyed Reggie's home in Oakland lost all of his trophies MVP World Series MVP the seven all-star ring the World Series raid but he's going to have some Profis and maple dis nights over Chambliss grounds Davey Lopes second base for the first time we can enact it magazines MVP for the 1977 World Series Reggie Jackson and while they probably didn't need that runs I will gel on that nonetheless is still another important run to have an event metal fight gets it foul I know what I want to make him give me the car Reggie applause a close friend of Steve Jax they work together on ABC's dupe superstar show stupid there were days of that no no pun intended what at one eight three metal wings and misses on a knuckle as another man sitting close to us his name is George Steinbrenner for him equal fulfillment he's the man who insisted on getting Reggie Jackson petals goes away knuckle against the corner Graig strikes out and here comes Lou Pinella I sound like a sound for us a booze to you at home but it is hot it is for Lou inside or one outside ball two the Yankees beat only three more outs they will have won the history of this club what the first World Series Piniella fouls at all and unless the Dodgers can stage a dramatic comeback in the top of the ninth inning they will have wanted with all fourth this edenian is absolutely alive people on their feet it's like electricity all the history this ballpark they sense another world championship I give Laver they're just three hours away sir I'm the sorta deserves a lot of credit everything that doctors have done this for long seasons starts back in February spring training 162 days Vennela hits it in the air to the right side Garvey goes over Steve makes the catch in foul ground but the answer is on Reggie Jackson's third successive home and going to the top of the ninth they lead eight to three as Reggie Jackson took the field here at Yankee Stadium there was a standing ovation and I might tell you ladies and gentlemen that the vote among the writers and broadcasters involved and was valuable player award was unanimous look at Reggie Jackson a whole long season and their altercation in the dugout of his manager Billy wants when launch precipitously removed him from the game late a substitution 7 and then swinging those mock swings and saying I can only answer one way that slipped back I can come through with my back and he has done just that the award at the 1973 with the Oakland Raiders second time around for Reggie what a spectacular performance if they go on to win it as it seems they will maybe it's true that this was the best game money can buy but victory hasn't come easy the Yankees live the sofa on the precipice of peril Ron Cey up now for the top of the ninth inning to lead off the Steve Garvey Dusty Baker and then Rick Monday if anybody forgettable Mike Torres trying to go the distance for the second time in this world Heath they had to take over as you look at that graphic not one but two teams the Red Sox in the birds say fouls it off they did that a very late goal living in the American League East by two and a half games over both teams they appeared defeated by Kansas City but they rallied from a two-to-one deficit to a three to two games victory and they did it in the final inning of the final game so there's something inside of this team regardless of money you don't come through this way on money alone Perez mrs. Fayed it's 1 & 2 though I would still say I will Express now what my mind at the beginning that this could well have been the series safe house at all the o mighty dollar versus the big Godzilla this gun I like a feel for both these teams he been on a winning side 1969 but on a losing side in 1973 there's faith free that's one out he strikes out who has to go Torres two outs away from the World Championship I've been on both sides we beat the Baltimore Orioles of the New York met in 1969 I seen 73 defeated by the Oakland Athletics Reggie Jackson in right field I lost game number six I came back to Peterson game number seven in a winning team and a losing team and there is a big span of emotions on that field and in both dugouts right now foul ball the bucket yet gets low a little bit lame and get much on it and Kirby's legs it out Garvey did a good job hustling to first base he's got every reason to fold up and just take a routine out he did a good job getting to first and even though Jeff slip almost nipped it but it was Garvey's hustle that allowed him to just beat the throw to first which traces back to what you were saying the job the Dodgers have done all year long the fight spirit in this club epitomizing the Doty little one time southpaw Tom Lasorda their manager maybe it was spirited in the league it's if the left base hit they don't quit easy Garvey at second hold on back-to-back singles now by Garvey and Baker Garvey to me is also one of those people where a multi-year contract perhaps is not considered a risk at all but rather an investment in a quality man an investment in probably a show of confidence especially with his knee the way it is you look at Rick Monday and there's the ace in the hole for the aging Sparky lon you need me I'm right here he said harassed a Monday backwash one out Garvey at second Baker at first Monday misses on the rag effort and it's two strikes on Rick men in blue now have come down and assuming positions are going to try to save the video but this is GoPro Monday beats a foul at the plate remember a year ago our the Chambliss pumpkin the seats to win the American League finish for the Yankees are they came roaring down on the ground like crazy Chambliss couldn't touch the bases someone did it he had to the answer technically was no when interference by the crowd prevents it the ball has been struck out of the park no you don't have to touch all the bases two strike pitch to Rick Monday foul back here closest we've had don't worry guys I got you covered last time the New York Yankees won a World Series with 1962 when they beat the Giants four games to three and that one ended for the line smash that was the route by mr. Bobby Richards and not to be forgotten moment as the Giants were threatened I'm even young enough to remember that Willie McCovey that's correct who had a heck of a year himself low to Rick Monday word about Billy Maude the beleaguered little Peppa fo one year long a man who made his share of mistakes and more as he would tell you but a man in somehow with all of the controversy motivate falkland that one two and two so the Dodgers are making Mike Torres work here in the top of the ninth inning and Chris Chambliss now comes to Kemal may well have been sent there by Billy Martin as Sparky Lyle throws hard the Yankee bullpen physics zorbing Mike they're down settle down get him out all the way big guy you've earned the privilege capo Mike solid ah fly ball deep right back to the back to the wall oh just bail Kirby hearts were beating in this stadium as they watched the flight of that ball and they watched the outfielder as red ball being used to teach they would have known Reggie had it under control it was so close ran out to hug Reggie Jackson Reggie personally has caught some packets to the stand Jilla northen doing the same thing Reggie shakes his head you hear the public address it is I'm not sure that I would want to be shaking hands the first place how do you know eyes gonna behave when he gets there you're just telling it like it is mr.
