it's going to be exciting it's going to be fun here are the players who will be playing tonight in this all-star game for the National League leading off it'll be Davey Lopes Lopes will be at second base batting second to franchise in right field big Dave Parker batting third from the Los Angeles Dodgers at first base Steve Garvey in the cleanup spot it'll be Mike Schmidt from the Philadelphia Phillies George Foster and oh that he hit some shots in batting practice in left field Dave Winfield from San Diego will be in center field Bob Boone is behind the plate Larry Bowa is the shortstop and the pitcher is Steve Carlton that's the lineup [Applause] well the empire's now takes their position six of them in America League or all-star competition as Joel mentioned a while ago defensively for the American League Don Baylor and left field Fred land and center field Jim Wright in right field for the American League at third base George Brett CPC Kansas City Royce Wally at shortstop Frank white at second base Tonya strips you made it as an outfielder shifted the first base Darryl Porter is the catcher and the pitcher your pal Nolan Ryan well Tony a guy that I had the pleasure playing with for several years in New York yes I you get baseball players still sit around the clubhouse watching Nolan Ryan throw and it gives it chills he pro so hard he got a super arm there they go [Applause] Tom as we wait for Nolan Ryan to come out let me first mention that it looks like Daniel Zack will be coaching at first base little B Chuck Tanner at third base coaching for the National League in an all-star game when you have never pitched to a hitter what would you do what do you think Nolan will do well I think Nolan first of all is going to try and get ahead of the hitters I was down there talking to him before the game and he's primarily what he's been trying to get ahead of the hitter I guided to Nolan Ryan shoes he just got to go with his strengths I mean he is there's nobody throws any harder and there probably hasn't been anybody maybe in the history of the game that's on any harder as long as Nolan Ryan has and many people don't realize that we sit around the table out there and I watched and throw on TV and it's just he's unbelievable he throw and he's already had one arm operation so he's I think what he's got to be thinking about doing out there on the mound as throwing strikes and getting his fastball over he's going to go with this trick and he's coming off some pretty good ballgame he struck out 12 Red Sox and one start it's the one hitter against the Yankees over this past weekend where does he generate the speed well Tony he's a power pitcher and he gets at the lower half of his body you can see he gets a great hip turn lower half of the body and somehow somewhere there he generates tremendous arm speed and I'm a clock in 100 miles an hour very easy together pretty good curve ball to it well not many people know that you naturally know that other than maybe watched him on TV but not only is that overpowering fastball but he does have the excellent curveball well they're having a meeting on the mound and I'm sure that Porter is making sure that they are together as we look at Davey Lopes will be leading off order to simply say now let's get together one's a fastball two's a curve and three will be a changeup because if Nolan Ryan crosses you up you just may be ordering four beers with two fingers Brian starting this game with three days rest so he should be strong [Applause] davey lopes gulps hitting 261 on the season and in all-star games he's one for one Lopes has 20 home runs and 45 runs better than here's the first pitch of the all-star game and that was a pure pure fastball unsaturated fastball another one and it's strike 2 what you have to do with Nolan Ryan I'm sure it's just give the signal remember what you put down and hold a glove nationally than 130 games American League 18 two strikes the count ball game just getting started [Applause] rakh Tony and Joe I mean this is exactly what Nolan Ryan want to do and I'll be sitting there shaking my head watching this guy throw because I played with him and feed him over the last ten years and he's just absolutely overpowering high fastball there's a third strike fastball away there's no way they will set a chance with the ball now we got a field test here early in the game strength against strength fastball pitcher Ryan against basket ball hitter Dave Parker who's swinging a 37 ounce bat and it is heavy and he's get around on it let's see if he gets around on Nolan Ryan all in now we've talked about the power early on as the newspapers had for days all over the country he's going inside within tommy's challenging him as if to say hey I got a better fastball inside and you can pull well that's why you have to pitch Dave Parker Joe he's a is that great big bat is good power to left-center going the opposite way you've got to get the hard stuff in on it : Ryan didn't have that controller early in his career he put those two right on the black first two pitches right on the black and there you see first pitch he went away from her I want to see now if it comes inside or if you'll go to two and two and then work on him all fast balls he has not thrown any marshmallows up there everything has been fast and hard he not only appears so far to the first to intercept tremendous velocity but the fall is exploding it starting into the left-hander's at times darting away from the left-hander's at times well he did pitch last party Tony and he likes to pitch on three days with this every fourth day so he's right on his day he has great velocity gets great movement on the ball especially up in the strike zone here is Steve Garvey two outs both strikeouts Nolan Ryan 32 years old six two inside she's got to start thinking about the family back home don't you don't have my son to bake though you gotta get out of there I strikes Brian born in refugio Texas wins and Alvin Texas 12 in 1679 and 2.54 earned run average Garvey is not an easy man to strike out almost 400 plate appearances this year he struck out just 30 times a good contact hitter new gloves do you want to break it in all you do is get Ryan four twenties and it's good as broken in three balls no strikes two outs nobody on first two batters out on strikes Lopes was called out and Parker out on strikes swinging I can't think of a tougher situation for let's say an Ashley Club coming in here the stadium many of them have never seen before and the lighting inside not not the greatest lighting we put some extra lights in here but having to face Nolan Ryan right off the bat it's got to be very tough 4 3 1 pitch balls in fact 2 times that I think that the batting practices they took might have lull them in a little fall security because everybody was trying to take every pitch deep nobody was laying the bat on the ball they were trying to tear out seeds all over this ballpark a lot of times is easy hitting against the Galen Cisco throwing batting practice or somebody else you know but you got to get out there and hit against Nolan Ryan thank you certainly a lot different Garvey 83-14 he has 14 home runs 118 base hits lead the league is really stuffed into that uniform nothing but muscles whoa or it was closed before Garvey gets the base on balls entire marketing team is putting such a Nolan ride we're starting off the field he thought he had a strike down that brings up Mike Schmidt you see the replay that last pitch you go ahead and judge for yourself the ball has tremendous movement on the inside part Garvey didn't swing and the ball may have tailed off the plate certainly Noland thought it was a strike so Mike Schmidt is up there now Schmidt with 31 homeruns league leader major league leader hitting 265 he's on a tear there's a breaking ball and it's a strike his Pinkett Smith face first pitches throw top he's been gone hundred mile an hour fastball and walked up there and Olin curves it he has to pull the trigger off right before he releases the ball at times cannot get it here comes Garvey Schmidt is digging for third he's got a three base hit national lately [Applause] impossible as that church look for Freddie left it's the kind of catch he might have made if you have not been playing with a pulled groin muscle he was a doubtful starter for the American League he played the last weekend with a severely pulled groin he wanted to play he got a clutch up did not run well he finds the benefit in the warning track and it's just get off the wall and the fingertips of his glove I believe in - club purses was in this angle and then when the glove at the wall this is some kind of effort by Fred Lynn the wall knocked it out what a great try here is George Foster he takes a look at the first with his strike one one to nothing nationally jumps out a walk to Garvey a tipple by Schmidt did he go around new they asked Lee Weyer says nope one ball one strike foster 8333 leading the league against 72 RBIs leading the league tied with or he's tied with Winfield right base hit hits cars crossed around first he's got himself a double a Swiss barracks is all out the man who got the first step I cut the triple adjust guard who says they don't want to wear the all-star game you think he was just swinging later calling that way I believe you didn't get around on I don't think you're gonna round Joe no no no right those extremely fast he's had to go through Parker and Schmidt Foster Garvey and all these barriers they finally gotten to him here here is win film what a year he's having three 2772 runs better than tied with Foster 118 base hits he's tied with Garvey big wide stance big strong good-looking guy on nationally to American we get the bat we're the top of the first [Music] well hit the right pill rice wine they misjudge it for a bit thanks to play not an z inning but the National League takes the lead here it's National League to back like nothing middle of the first I got an invitation but not in the mail I grabbed my invitation every morning without their I'm shaving clothes and comfortable home as you can bet since I got an invitation from tool it's now for a limited time only get the special edition a tray invitation for less than a dollar fifty the same pivoting head increase hugging action that made a fragilis best shave and a Buy Now price an invitation from Gillette the sx-70 solar no other camera can do everything this camera does sound waves with the lens in the perfect focus a computer sets the exposure long shall close up you can get perfect pictures every time and share them in minutes it's all automatic Polaroid sx-70 so now of all the fine cameras did the world's smartest here's the way the American League will line up leading off it'll be rice moly junior from the Minnesota Twins is shortstop batting second George Brett he'll be a third base Don Baylor bats third he will be in left field Jim Rice is the right fielder he's in the cleanup spot Freddy Lynn in centerfield Carl Yastrzemski is at first base the catcher is Darrell Porter Frank white bats eighth he's at second base and Nolan Ryan is the ninth batter he's the pitcher of course [Music] there's the defense foster would Phil Parker Schmidt Paul Lopes and Garvey going behind the plate and Steve Carl to the Phillies of pitcher some pretty good all-round players good throwing out in speed and Winfield Parker the outfield there's the first pitch and it's ball one Smalley is switch hitter getting 3:41 curveball it's of beauty you could really see that one break tell me about that optical illusion with that one time huh huh doctor those hitters about that I agree it's not an optical illusion popped up and it's tough to find their boy chow and is run off by bought and I tell you something that states tough to find a we're talking about that Tony Wow it's the reason that Paul came out to help out spit our desire to follow as you can see still dies as always a lot afraid or white gray and lose the ball of the girders upstairs that's what friends [Applause] well she said she was going to do it we've had all kinds fixed I'm we had the impostor fellow who played in the open and just brought a caddy and went there and then then the remember the NBA took some shots and then tonight he came out in the Yankee uniform and some people feel that he even was in the team picture so it'll be interesting to see what happened so so there's one away and well actually to our one out put a pop-up and Morgana she's out of here now no time I we had a chance to apologize with mix-up introduction players joe sambito the statement sander picture from the minute apologized Houston fans and of course to Joel he's having a tremendous year for the Houston Astros and we certainly won't overlook him here is George Brett he go around they're going to ask knows the third-base umpire Billy Williams is a third nationally so it's one ball and one strike with one of two to nothing National League leading bottom of the first good curveball he went around this time so it's one ball two strikes Joe is talking to Bob Boone for the game and he said Carlton has really been fun super lately an outstanding fastball the last four or five games and he's got very good breaking stuff I talked about a slider in the pregame show he'll throw that slider I'll throw that curveball any time to anybody regardless of what the count is he is that much confidence in those two pitches mm two strikes one out this is where the curveball let's pause briefly for station identification this is the NBC television network this is w NBC TV New York Joe Garagiola here with Tony Kubek Tom Seaver Bret the Kingdome in Seattle where the National League is jumped out to a 2008 and here is Don Baylor Baylor with 85 runs batted in and 23 home runs [Music] strike one he really has a busy bat he waits in a hurry for that fish interesting to see if cows and throws over to first base Brett can steal a base on you he's got 11 for the year but cows have been called for a lot of box last year's back last down and yet to fall call against them there he goes he's got a better one than that that was a dick decoy he pauses at times and looks you back and sometimes he hesitates too long burning ways he has offending the rule Taylor doesn't get it a quick strike count on it baserunner is George Brett Carl Cup is won his last three starts a one-hitter on July 4th only it was a double by Elliott Maddox nobody on the seven then clouds and pitch day 14 strikeout game on July 8th beating the Giants by the three of his last start Thursday be seeing the angle four to three fifteen eight innings his fourth all-star game eleven on eight with a three point four nine earned run average in 1979 Bob Boone is behind the plate he's been catching Carlton you know for a long time Steve tim mccarver was Steve's private catcher [Music] we were there don't remember he was JIT attempts any when I bought all the records the way we were made sense of you know Tony's wife is going to have a baby Wednesday morning but he elected to be here at this all-star game he may not be back to home in time well there's two sons along with them one ball two strikes one out fact that the commissioners luncheon as we look at George Brett Boone was there with his mother his father a poem played in all-star game in 1950 when he was with Detroit dawn couldn't find it but it's in the stand table you've seen Steve Carlton change his style and one time he was pretty much a power pitcher he can still go to buy mothball by you at times now but he's donned a lot of breaking those we've seen him put small gain through the 50% curves sliders well he's had so much success of that slider Tony that he really throws in an awful lot and he can still throw hard enough to throw the ball right by it misses two balls two strikes one out we're in the bottom of the first National League leading to the nothing how about the County ear Tony this guy's the plate is heaven that's why I think not having interleague play never said get to see a guy like this play over the national league you talk too many players his peers grew up in the American League he might be the most respected player in the American League by many guys prank the top few players as we look at the swing of Don Baylor's short compact very powerful man you think Brett take Lynn you think right and this man right here name just a few right there one two and three three balls two strikes one out George Brett can run Carlton will be given a quick look and probably throw over there get an ailing there he goes George Brett is going to come all the way around at the Vulcan five monster Beeler rounding second but he holds on to to one National League in the American story [Applause] Brett was going with what out three and two count and Mike Schmidt this this ball what looked like to be inches almost almost robbing Baylor of the double in town alive there's the comp it's the move by Brett soon as it hit that quarter down there and bounce toward left-center field he doing for the score popped up davey lopes is going out to play that's the triangle they're talking about Tony they've got an area here Parker throws his hands up I didn't see if they're all looking up they've got an area that Bobby Valentine was tell us about last night they call it Bermuda Triangle can I take your eye off the ball in it what port like very good idea [Music] great market a lot of rule partners you got it they hung out long enough to catch it so they're two way and here is Fred Lynn outside ball one Lynne with 24 home runs leads the American League hitting 323 fastball misses so where's the chair storage going so just before a game time where the he would start to was there they had two lineups chef lemon to the White Sox who scheduled leadoff Lynn came to Bob lemon the Manson I can play there's a strike bread land along with Tom Seaver from USC and there is rod dado - baseball coach and take a look at those three on the same team it's Lynn Smalley and Steve Kemp on the same team yet 1974 they also had on that ballclub rich dower of the Orioles a couple other guys came Kingman's not here but he went the school there Seaver went there go on and on - Judy Busby Ron fairly it's amazing the amount of men that coach dado is put out of that fine University bar you stop to think as we have a 2 2 count two outs on Fred Lynn that they were on the same team go to the big leagues is enough but to be an all-star team is really something well it deep to right field near the law nobody look at this one [Applause] so far it has been just what was expected and will show crowd that looked like a fastball town not sure up in the strike zone before I got the ball up any idea when he first hit it Tony you can see it up just about always daily force it I was a pop fly in this ballpark in that ball with quail was well past the fence into the stand here is Carl Yastrzemski now at ball one his new stance it takes a strike the area Len head it will show it to you again it's just over 350 feet a normal fly ball in a lot of ballparks to major-league the whole run here two balls one strike three to two the American League is taking the lead it is high three balls in one strike just rimsky with his Leaning Tower of Pisa spent another one deep to right-center field Winfield Burke and makes the catch at the wall hey don't you leave it looks like we're going to have some kind of night take a look at that play as when Phil gets back there Tony they say the ball is not journey farther but I believe it does so that ends the first inning and two up for the National League it will be Bob Boone Larry Bowa and Steve Carlton the score back like three nationally to visit this country out of Dreams and steal and every day you pour enough new steel for one more bridge one more building one more dream but now comes another time time to head for the best tasting beer you

Boone has really been on apparently good fastball hitter the reaction you hear as we saw that last pitch the bullet is because chicken has arrived is prancing out of the dugout of a masculine and there he is he's a phenomena players are coming out to check him out he throws Keith Hernandez the chicken is going bonkers on top of the dugout they react to him do one pitch off the handle may drop in for a base hit it does Boone is on with a single they expected a lot of heading and so far we have not been disappointed retreated to American League lead two hits for the American League three for the National and here is Larry Bowa go ahead in 264 tough hitter ball one okay Joe sorry bar first came up to the big leagues he was happy you could just knock the bats right out of his hand wasn't very strong for the left hand side if you had a good fastball you just they all turned me just blew him away and he has really made himself a fine pesky difficult hitter to get out has it become a better hitter as his stronger a stronger and he's become a better hitter he knows his strike zone but he knows what he can do he doesn't try to overpower the ball a little guy right there Bo who finished third and the most valuable player balloting last year in the National League the one while a lot of people thought he was going together three balls no strike Gary Templeton was chosen but his famous line it will be remembered by start night department he's not here three balls and no strikes [Music] three balls one strike Lou Brock is commodity dugout for the National League he's going to be the pinch-hitter for Carlton you get a tremendous ovation again there is this strike there is the product at the commissioners launching today I thought he made a what was really just a profound sleep and he said baseball deals in history but the players of today are not clinging to history we are here to make history even rice Smalley jr. two speakers there goes the runner is filed off everybody will come back we got a jam house here most people ever to see a baseball game in the Pacific Northwest and it has just been exciting two days we've been there everybody's talking baseball baseball I think is the best suited for an all-star game there you see the runner boon Thor doesn't strike out much though boon was breaking last time he'll break again it wasn't that close we to pitch that goes boom is fouled off again the pony will have to come back talk about all-star games football 18 game and play together basketball and play together but baseball is a team game is Joe Torre sitcom buy played by individuals signed by a group of individuals that's right individual effort Joe and you get a team result that goes Cooney popped up may be playable Brett near the stands makes the catch and so pull is out it brings up a pinch hitter Lou Brock Lou Brock he said it's his last season so that makes this his last all-star game and we talked to Lou Brock about that and here's what he had to say about its appearance in this year's all-star game and his last a pleasure to play it is my life all-star game and of course it is my last season and I've had to enjoyed it tremendously 18 years of Major League Baseball and I think you can't ask for better career the crowd paying tribute to Lou Brock as he comes on as a pinch-hitter strike one I went to my first all-star game 1967 Joe's in Anaheim California and I was in there so far Lou and I go back Lou walked in he asked me to go get him a coke he thought that was a club outfit a high chopper just risky cannot get it cool doesn't know where the ball is he's going to stop at second Lou Brock wanted a gun Jackie had to be held up by first page those are key thought that pool might go first and third on the situation it's probably what they cook decline by the shortstop squally because posed to not pick up the ball the hell of the second base and in that case Park is held to a single as we look at it again hard dirty would have been a double in a matter of seconds the surface here as you see it obviously artificial but very very hard I found it hard walking on it Tony how did you guys find it fat it is fast very fast very hard those dirty areas out there the players have to slide on your text really hard like concrete [Music] one strike one strike the count rather here's good now watch him he's get his head down and he doesn't know where the ball is little decried by Frank white the second baseman and slowly the shortstop one strike pitch to Lopes and riot cannot make the play nobody can make the play Davey Lopes is always a symbol of faces in loaded with one hour American League is leading three to two look at it again even if anybody can make this play right here there's no way you're going to get Davey Lopes at first he just says too much speed Smalley made a good play trying to get the runner at third base looking over there Bob Boone there's another shot of it what a futile feeding that's got to be for a pitcher nothing didn't do well it looks running even if you catch the ball after it's about that high you're not going to get it anyway you talk about a futile feeling oh yeah I did the place is loaded and this handball court walking up there call time right there go get a hotdog or something you'd have the signal fair catch Dave Parker who was out on strikes his first time up he is just awesome [Music] swanny Anna there's action found in the American League bullpen as we take a look at the defense they are deep American League is leading 3 to 2 Ron Guidry has begun to throw for the American League fastball misses one ball one strike I talked to Parker before the game Joe I said what are you going to do you never faced Nolan Ryan before I said I'm just going to look I'm going to look for a fastball and I'm going to try and hit the ball hard and Parker does so there's Guidry warming up in American League bullpen Parker does have outstanding power to the opposite field yes straightaway centerfield lemon coming in is tagging up it looks like it'll be deep enough it is so we're all tied up sacrifice five by Dave Parker your chance to see on this RV I sacrifice fly by Parker that 11 the center fielder replacement will not take his eye off the ball and was not it well look at him he will refuse this because of that ceiling here we lose a lot of fall [Music] there's boots cart nationally three American League three Garvey who walked and scored in the first inning the batter Rock is it second and Lopes is it first that's out of play strike one with Brock and Lopes on base even with two outs you've got to believe that Lou would like to get a stolen base prob possibly his last all-star competition he has Smalley the shortstop and white the second baseman for the American League really jockeying close to the middle of the diamond tell you boy that's a pretty good relay team out there Brock Lopes white clothes to the bag at second one strike to count tied here three three [Music] popped up right side Yastrzemski has plenty of room he makes the play so that ends inning but they score us and coming up in the bottom half of the second inning it'll be Darrell Porter Frank white and drew up Owen Rhine three threes we go on the bottom of the second I need in need the Xerox 9400 is one of the fastest duplicators in the world it's also one of the easiest to operate push a few buttons and it can automatically feed and cycle originals collate and copy on both sides of a piece of paper it's so easy to

perspire more thanks why men count on right God right God is so strong so effective it helps stop a man's perspiration odor all day long yes men and women don't perspire equally and that's why I mention God I'm like a strong effective right guard because men perspire more George red wine in the cooler this one's different sir its colony chilled like burgundy chilled I've been selling wine for

have Connie chilled light burgundy colony choose light burgundy it's got good taste down cold hi i'm tony kubek the United Nations has proclaimed 1979 the International Year of the child NBC Sports proudly joined in the celebration saluting the children of the world [Music] here at the Kingdome we're all tied up and we've got some changes there's Gary Matthews he's gone in the left-field replacing George Foster and we have a new picture for the National League walking on the heart of the Dominican Republic under hard six feet 180 pounds and he has done some job time for those Astros who have really been a most pleasant surprise well that entire Houston Astro pitching staff has really done a super job Joe under house 11 and 5 on this year so far 2.6 tre which is obviously outstanding good fastball and he'll change speed done and allure the last couple years to them get the ball in the strike zone used to have a lot of difficulty but based on ball challenging those hitters I was going to say and couple him with the Negro and the young men that we certainly didn't want to slide joe sambito coming out that bullpen they throw some pretty good power at you from the pitching standpoint on that other guy they have down there too old Rodney a I don't want to freak out they are we don't want to make him mad at us that's for sure remember Willie Stargell said his fastball you start a forest fire with it it's so fast no we don't want to forget him here is Darrell Porter watch the stance that Darrell Porter has in fact watch him as he gets into the batter's box he'll kind of meditate and take some practice swings and really get himself geared and get that concentration going there he goes thank you now what what he's going to be doing an open stance a pull hitter stance it's a strike there's a good look at that stance you never saw the fella you were to catch you would expect him to be looking for that ball inside and I fear for him up to the plate still using some of their former hitting structures of instructions Charlie Lau without shifting of the way to the back foot of the front book taking time between pitches to compose himself really is nasty most victories arm to heart third left fail Matthews is there near the line one out one away Frank white is the batter [Music] that's Reggie Jackson there's not been a trade the uniform was left in Oakland and that's what he had all before the game there you see for the right uniform and while we're talking about the Yankees it's a rumor at the ballpark we're trying to get it confirmed that al Rosen the general manager is going to resign from this Yankee position one strike the count on Frank white if that happens to that mean that 511 might not be far behind but I don't believe that one strike purple watching lemon I just believe he's there are guys that belong in the office and want to be there her field guys in Lebanon it might be the year 2080 before he goes in front office two strikes the count fastball inside I like that kind of pigeon timekeeper - Rhonda how is the guy that layers the national equals they ask a lot of hot dog in a museum new semantics on the mound a fifth the ball up and he's very animated for a pitcher looks like sync up to the side with that fastball that bores in on your right hand and then comes to that sidearm curve like that it's upside our third ball popped up Garvey's got Rome he makes the play when we round up I was on to work keep all the way over with the pitchers much as he is I forgot falling into the Elvis stuff netball Tom you use expression hot dog I just want to ask some have you ever known of a bad ball player who was accused of being a hot dog and it's a little difficult to be a bad player be a hot dog that's for sure he'll stay around for tensioner a super bored rod carew of this man stances Araki really helped a lot more than last year here's a guy all week I saw go was unhappy hitting about three Jenny's I would say thirty or forty hitter he'll point that bat towards the pitcher much like Rod Carew right there yet his timing and he'll have a good tough all one in a clinic that I was listening to in Milwaukee Sal bando put him among the top three as far as hitters in the American Way under our finger out of the glove crying who knows Cooper falls it off Pat Corrales the third-base coach the American League East Texas Rangers my Hartsville of Toronto at first base for the American League we're all tied up here three apiece bottom of the second two outs nobody on Cecil Cooper a pensioner two balls in one strike two outs I may have demoted Rosen inadvertently he is the president of the Yankees but that's the rumor that he is going to resign at any rate we have not been able to confirm it I just repeat it to remember three balls one strike rice Smalley the on-deck batter [Music] 3 1 pitch play I'm too hard how do our subtle things battle well Steve Carlton did have some trouble in the first inning under our as a lot of movement in his slippery bounces around surprisingly though he has really got a lot of control in the last couple of years made himself a pretty good pitcher has a very good innings pitched and hit ratio slow curveball that's a tough pitch three into tough fix to a tough hitter I think it's interesting the point you made about his control time because he's gone both ways this season you started twelve ball games but he's been relieved a lot also I would imagine trying to do that as a pitcher it disrupt you a little bit can Oxley do so arm what's in volunteers you look at the line there where it says 116 and he's bit yet only 84 made his 30 good ratio for pitch so Cooper draws the base on balls and it brings up Roy Smalley Smalley in the first that he fouled out of the third baseman like gently we're tied here three apiece were in the bottom of the second [Music] gene Mauch did this man a few hitting tips last year some of them because mocked his manager and uncle played with Ted Williams on the Red Sox he got his bat closer to his body cause the stance moved away from the plate but the guy that really did it was Smalley who worked so hard only 18 341 I think it's just more aggressive up there looked like it was feeling for the ball a couple years and now he gets up there takes a good cup inside to play deep at her right-handed against Carlton are trying to keep smally success did not start with this year the scooper stolen-base told 911 tetris season started the middle of last year when he made some adjustments nice ball misses ball one I'm always been a little bit of a slump 1 for 22 in his last six games the way he's been hitting [Music] plays have not been close at first place left fail Matthew this air makes the play and that Enzi any so the score is tied here three apiece and two up it will be Mike Schmidt Gary Matthews and they won't feel we're tied 3 apiece here in Chicago we are evaluating the world's first Lightwave

Kristiania so fresh and hot and that is what the best fries are over I put a charge in your drivers Kelly killing Springfield we're out to change of mellitus tires our Bryant Gumble is down with Fred Lynn who just left the game Brian okay Joe Fred was indeed the first electric starter to have to leave the game but those who think he had to come up because he hurt himself on Schmidt's ball its mistake thanks Ryan a great wine pole that I heard and open the past weekend and both Bob lemon and myself agreed that we shouldn't take any more unnecessary chances nothing against your talent but the homerun you hit it look like a bad Carlton fastball I'm sure he's trying to get the ball away from it he was trying to pitch me away the whole time up and he got the ball a little bit and more than he wanted and in this ballpark all you have to do is make good contact Brett thank you much take care to boring pool we'll go back upstairs to Joe okay Fred Lynn bryant gumbel this is Mike Schmidt fastball is inside we got a new pitcher out there Stan Lee Bob Stanley and the Red Sox is starter into reliever in 79 is record 11 and six as you see it 14 start six complete games nine and relief had a good cut one ball one strike some of you fans may watch our game of the week I got to play that Bob Stanley puts one of the best ball games we've seen all year long he had that sinker ball down between the knees in the ankle almost all day long a lot of ground balls was a head of almost every hitter time usually like this kid he read he comes at you pretty good slider at a top sinking fastball pitch against him one day in spring training this year Tony we went over to play the Red Sox and we pitched against each other and he did show me a fine sinker a good slider keeps the ball down in the strike zone and he throws strikes not much for the success for a pitcher than being able to do that two balls and two strikes on Mike Schmidt he tripled and drove in a run in the first inning when the National League scored two mark Lee came back with three the bottom half nationally tied it up the top of the second that's where we stand curveball misses full count three balls can strikes nobody on nobody out the Kingdome Joe Garagiola with Tony Kubek in the Tom Seaver we're expecting fireworks and so far we've had a there are the Hong Kong meters Dave Kingman who is out with an injury Casey spent he killed another one opposite field extra bases lemon is up with him and Schmidt has himself a double to go along with his triple we talked about in the pregame show Joe Nia know about how hot that hitter right there Mike Schmidt is he just has been on a tear the two weeks prior to the paw star game here you see a speaker down in a way he goes right with it shoots it right up the alley for all I am a foot power runs little well he sure does you saw right there how well Iran has let it's played it very well off the fence in right-center field Schmidt can do about everything you'd want of a ball player he is the complete player excellent offensively fine speed can steal base ground ball you strip she's gonna go there in the goal not in time Yastrzemski gambled inlaws ground ball by Matthews a fielder's choice there was the speed we just talked about Schmidt ordinarily would not set see that play across the diamond Matthews of an excellent piece of hitting going the opposite way trying to go right look at Schmidt he didn't stop for one second didn't hesitate he ran hard all the way but Tony there was a great a great piece of camera worked there as Schmitt goes sliding it because he looked back I think that Yastrzemski may have been gambling to that me and hit to him the Schmidt might just kind of let up a little bit but when he turned his head and saw you Spence he going to third he just gunned it all away so it's first and third nobody out and here is Winfield line to right field his first time up we're tied 3 apiece Brett will go to second for one out low throw Winfield is safer for some reason stretched up to third and then came on the scar was it's all going to first base this is Matthew's off first base and a fall that shattered the bad of day would feel that man right there making the pivot if he doesn't get your first base nobody will a lot of pressure put on by Matthews we also had a chance speed once again of these power in his pocket and run Smith can run Whitfield can run I think it doesn't think we see in these last two plays Tony - or this is the hustle of a of a Mike Smith going to the first third base and the hustle of a Gary Matthews getting down to second base baboon strike one to say that these guys are all stars coming out here going through the motions couldn't be farther from the truth I mean those two plays show perfectly how much these guys do want to win close to the first base with Winfield is back four to three National League out in front Bob Boone he singled and scored in the second inning Winfield back again Schmidt was watching the play and it looked like it was going to be a double play but Matthews put some pressure on Frank why couldn't get anything on the throw it was loaded especially Schmidt scored Winfield beat it out look quarter we thought the big guy was going to run I tell you just you look it's just to reiterate what you said Tom at the wind fields in the park that you can't take for granted they're going to stay there talk about one of the most complete athletes in the game the man of the upright point headquarters not Stan Lee the man we just left would fill to the played professionally in three separate sports basketball football and of course he chose baseball he's got some ideas about running there's one man out the counter wanted one you know the wind field drafted by four professional teams that's why both the NBA and the ABA Oh a tricky question driving back it measured themselves it called time now brought for example says Levin strides in the slide and I'm back my phone was in the batter's box is had to do some babysitting we asked Bob Boone about his babysitting chores here's what he had to say now I'm babysitting here Turner it's a great thrill for me to play in an all-star game and of course being selected to start is quite a thrill and to get these two guys out and they were out shagging earlier and they're having a great time you guys with Erin you want to say something to mom should be watching stay hot phone youngsters Aaron what's another brother Wednesday mornings they're gonna have it they're gonna have another paper of their family whether they want it or not that's foul out of play one ball two strikes the all-star game being here some of them couldn't be here Johnny Bench you're a battery mate Tom a bad back he's been suffering from a bad back out of [Music] Rep corner was left wide awake pivot and that an ziyan a tremendous DoublePlay pulled off by the American League but the National League scores Iran they take the lead there it is again to up will be Don Baylor George Brett Don Baylor and Jim Rice four to three National League leading for my summer cold I have a lot of things that can relieve the nasal congestion sneezing coughing and aches that bother me funny when I get a summer cold like yours I get real winter relief with complex multi symptom cold relief contracts even relieves your call so all by itself it gives more kinds of relief than briston or contact or Bayer for any cold with this miserable combination of symptoms winter or summer this is better contracts in tablet or liquid I got a very good deal it's happening now people are getting great deals on dodge bands I was very enthusiastic about the price it was a lot less than I thought and I thought I really got a tremendous value of great deals on dodge pickups - we shop pick up the board we shop at Chevrolet we got a fantastic deal on a Dodge pickup it was an excellent value your Dodge dealer has the vans and trucks they've all got to go so let's make a deal what are you doing Fred put an Olympic latex stain on the house stain over paint white pee Fred's pudding stain over paint stain over paint George Fred's wouldn't stay over paste watching big latex paint over rich mellow colors he cleans up in water and it lasts for years what's that stain Fred Olympic latex states it lets you stain over paint [Music] [Applause] [Music] a shot of the crowd here at the Kingdome and there's the famous chicken is he comes out to entertain boy that's what I call cold and strike man underneath that costume is head journalist Canada watch Winfield on this double play finally executed by the Americans go after Frank white white as quick as anybody on the double play avoid the hard sliding would build saying as big as he is man that's going to give me a feeling like the 515 is just broken loose George Brett Brett walked and scored in the second inning National League leading four to three go on to George bread George bread who had the bad thumb for so long I'm too harsh second pitcher Garvey is going to take it himself yes makes it in time one out Garvey doesn't get quite the credit he should he's got a very short life moving to third base for the scoring I was not a transform enough with the Dodgers and anything near me content so there's one away and it brings up Baylor Don Baylor he double the driver to run then that first city money American Week scored three assball is distract [Music] one strike his first all-star game is the little boy was with you today at the luncheon employ was he proud of daddy this is baler along with Don's and little Donnie [Music] sidearm schmidt can't get it if the base hit Baylor has his second base hit of the night Jim Rice is coming up but Bryant Gumble has Nolan Ryan and let's go down to Brian thank you very much more legwork the first couple of any you came out if it strikes the Lopes and Parker I know you thought you had garbage truck we felt we merit educators I guess borderline pitch and impress others a bone were you impressed with the power oh yes anytime you have to face a lineup like that there's none there's no relief in sight and you just have to go out and with the best stuff I wouldn't imagine Illinois has too much love for the astroturf in Seattle considering the hits that Lopes and Brock got well that's one of the disadvantage play no master no Lee thanks for coming with us Joe okay Brian Brian Nolan Ryan hang his man it was close but Baylor is back he can run he's a big one but he can run his average 31 steals apparently three would span seven years started with Baltimore so like Parkman would feel better with that fine combination of power and speed I guess Tony the only thing that he can't do those other two guys is throw right it gets away from Boone and that goes bailar he answered his shoulder a football injury fell on it when he was playing high school football he could have played professional football here's the play again up one for food the handle of breaking ball that spun away Tony he did everything to catch you should do on that but when the ball bounces in the third it's crazy hop he got the glove down he was in front of the ball hit the heel and and sported away it's like trying to catch a foul tip you're lucky if you block it you're lucky if you catch the foul tip if you're good to do the basic thing to stay in front of the ball you're going to block a percentage of some time having to bounce away surfer here is Jim Rice to give one ball the count high chopper Bowa is going to go to first in time and moving to third is Baylor I don't believe there's not official service in the major league is faster than Hart is this we've seen it on those high hopper so far today but there are six of the National League three in the American League and this might be the hardest of all Jeff lemon lemon from the white socks on his way to hitting 300 four to three National League leading bottom of the third look ahead hit him and that's the best pitch new world to get hit by a nice big lollipop roundhouse curve goes first in third and you strum ski he slows down his arm speed then it's it right there he almost comes to a pod it didn't appear that good speed on the ball or our motion if you scored on your arm like that Tony you're going to lose control of the ball you're not going to be able to tell where it's going the key to the off-speed pitches to keep your arms being same as you do on your basketball coming out Baylor is that third lemon is it first is from ski the batter he flied to center field his first time up that's ball is low ball one carl yastrzemski 39 years old will be 40 on August 22nd oldest player in the American League 21st professional year 19th year with Boston it's astruc we mentioned early he has folded in as we look at the manner at third lemons at first first time in all-star game history the state players the same being elected in our field starting spots and live and right the middle it's going to get through we're tied up again for for coming takes the big turn but hold on this trip ski drives into tonight run I don't think they have a whole series so what that part dollars for the whole place you know what I'm thinking about Tony while I may not have enough pitchers they're both team to finish this ball game we're in the bottom of the third we already have eight runs and 10 hits they get a lot or quite a bit of rain here in the northwestern part of the country and they don't use much water in this avail it just hit in front of that plate if you're going to doctrine and feel that would be where you would doctor it would be right in front of home plate but here they may have put in some concrete how you study dirt you told us about Utica dirt in Los Angeles dr. pop at the World Series but yeah one you didn't believe me boy I tell you when you said what 88 and there it is right there just plain old hard dirt is all I can tell you it is there and it jumps that's ball one ball one strike lemon is on at second missed em ski is on at first you slide on that dirt you're going to come up with what they call the old days a nice big strawberry 1-1 pitch I thought it was a strike but it's ball two two and one under hards a bit upset so maybe too early to talk about it then again maybe that but the record for the most runs in all stuff game is 20 where this game is started we 1950 for the American League at 11 Cleveland most bullpens busy pictures loosening up here it is a foul ball mark clear the California does warming up numerically that's Bear Bryant one of the Mariners coaches behind him followed Darrell Johnson around and a teammate of years who kept your ballclub in until you got going and bottom gets going Mike Lacoste of Cincinnati where you're right Tony that young man right there microprocessors really kept the Cincinnati Reds within striking distance one of the main reasons they're still able to have a shot at it two balls two strikes two outs two on Gordon takes inside three into didn't want to do that because they'll be off and running now they can score on a long single from first base is Finn's key they're playing it back for our Porter [Music] there they go fully alive at his curving foul Mitchell changeup done that a couple times top three - off-speed pitch a situation right there with two outs the scorecard you would have to guess if you were a guessing hitter that the pitcher would be throwing a fastball under her a couple of times now in that situation gone with the off-speed pitch and Ja reporter certainly wasn't fooled by it keeps his hands back good done T Tony he has really changed his batting stance he tries to pull everything pretty much he was with the Milwaukee Brewers already did not do a whole lot there but since he's come to Kansas City and got Charlie Lau's healthy become an excellent hitter me to pitch Schmidt big hops going to have to go to first [Applause] [Applause] they're an example of what this hard turf can do to you we look at the yeas and third but when Schmidt had to back up on the ball and got on his heels could he's got the in-between hop right when he backed up right here let me let the ball go by he throws a little flat-footed the balls think Garvey tries to dig it out gets in between hop and lemon just get that going he wasn't gonna stop anything good hustle by Chet lemon you know he's running right there may have upset Mike Schmidt when he looked like he might run right in front of the ball might have upset Mike a third base it's an air force pet here's bright white it's the first pitch Schmitt has it he's going to go to second two forces on porter hands inning what it's a 5-4 ballgame American out in front and two up it'll be Larry for I'm too hard schedule ahead davey lopes five to four American weekly international we'll be back after these

Rickey talking about the live ball if there's not the rabbit in the ball it's whale in the pitchers there's this strike two balls two strikes two outs American League five nationally before we are in the top of the fourth and it has just been bangbang face hits runs and it's going to be that way all night gulps takes it inside full count three balls and two strikes and a statement like that I expect Tom Seaver to jump up and challenge off you got the mess kid wait a second I'm supposed to be neutral in here now whatever high chopper Smalley long flow he's going to have to hustle won an arm he showed right there looked like the pill free and of course poured across the infield they're three up three down that ends the inning and two up for the American League it'll be Stan Lee he's scheduled I doubt if he gets there and so Smalley is 5/4 you work underwater in a treacherous world most men never see a dark world of unseen dangers with a jagged steel skeleton of a sunken ship could rip a hole in the belly of a tanker dive at the dive in your torch burns through the cold steel until it's nothing but another pile of rusting metal now comes Miller time time to head for the best tasting beer you can find Miller High Life America's quality beer since 1855 and his ball game is be the fifth position he's played all-star competition to other men and played for Musial and Aaron there's the new pitcher Steve Rogers of the Montreal Expos got a pinch-hitter that he's going to face it'll be steve camp of the tigers times i've seen him pitch rogers good control excellent slider that taken fastball well Tony if I had to pick one picture this is my eyes / strictly my own first observations of who I liked I feel this fellow right here Steve Rogers probably the best pitcher in the National League right now why he has a great thinker good slider announces an outstanding take a good control of the ball and very competitive on the mound Steve Kemp he'll not get cheated out of his swings Rogers against Kemp camp 326 among the American League many leaders outside one ball one strike they say if I the camp and stuff they have pictures going to wind up hold the ball he's going to take a swing at it he wants the head loves the head aggressive hitter would didn't get it two strikes rusty Staub has helped Kemp an awful lot over the last couple of years mainly in his discipline and concentration at the plate temple tended he used to let his mind wander at times he said now I don't let my mind wander for one partly because of rusty well hit right at davey lopes steve camp blind to love so there is one out seems to be the best way to get the hitters out this ballgame i drive brings up Roy Smalley let me tell you this telecast I won't tell you whether they have a great play on my drive here it comes loud offenses are not very sophisticated in all-star game because you don't know how to pitch nor play the hitters but Devi standing right there I saw this is bowline Paulie fouled out his first time up he flied to left five to four American league-leading good cut didn't get it Rodgers is pumping hard there is Joe Morgan and Ron Cey little maze little man's in a game any time all time he's a fine offensive player teammate of mine at Cincinnati base hit sir washing seems to always be on that face he'd say we're talking about hitting right there worth day no target by hitting all day long consecutive MVP years the National League Guild market Joe scanner gays are getting all day long and not many people who convinced him that he's wrong he's very solid what he thinks about hitting her fall outside to calls in two strikes managers like to see that Sparky Anderson caught two of his pitchers are eating and sleeping in the clubhouse he's gotta sit on the bench nice can't learn nothing the clubhouse that was a pretty good example of veteran ballplayers still study in the picture popped up Thursday side Mike Schmidt makes the place or

into that do you know me even though I wrote a best-selling book on running with most people I need something to jog their memory so I carry the American Express card it's the only card with hundreds

for a card look for this display wherever the card is welcomed the American Express card don't leave home without it [Music] [Applause] [Music] the preceding announcement was furnished by major league baseball as we get a good shot of the Kingdome here it looks like a sellout crowd and if it is there's 50 8960 they were expected and that would make it the fifth largest house in all-star history the record was set to Cleveland in 1935 with some 69 thousand they are jammed in here and they're seeing quite a ball game Tony new pitcher mark Claire the California Angels and he can throw hard and has a tough slider [Music] great strikeout ratio anything fits now 68 strikeouts 73 in the third innings I was talking to Pat Corrales down there before the game trying to get some information that something is American they hit or created the National League of course they don't leave American leaguers except for spring training he did it got a good sinker a good slide was hard he's just wild enough to be effective artists are yellows he started that curveball outside hoping he'd give up Parker batting left-handed it's not to self one I can't wait to see one of those right-handers get up against this youngster some of the people on national league think that bad that they Parker is using is too big for it is I mean it's like swinging a tire on it so I'm it's a huge you've got to be strong to start it and stronger to stop take a swing like you just did but in this ballpark you'll have to learn the beat of the bat you can get jammed or hit on the ends if you go out the power alleys well it's big and strong as he is in our hebron he can hit about any park any place he can top that bat to don't need to send him the fresh air can't to fill him up was sort of kind of an unhappy Dodger manager was some squabbling above the team as we went to the all-star break he was struggling along in the Western Division guy right there gently on the white back to the fine centerfielder he's played the last couple of years with some leg injuries he can Ronnie gets an excellent jump as put instincts out in the outfield [Music] give back your way one strike curveball misses one ball one strike I just won out NASA leagues have the fifth one a breaking ball to Garvey one ball two strikes one out it's going to seesaw give the American leads five-two for NASA Lee came up with two of the first inning the American he took the league immediately came up with three and Ashley tied it up top of the second with one right centerfield by Garvey [Music] stop lovin at the last second there in a way to prevent a collision if you run into that guy might have been all over for Chet here's the replay looks like they're going to collide but rice and I need to take a charge all away his songs included earlier lemon was talking to rice look like they trying to get together on what to do and certainly didn't do that in too soon now it's Mike Shrek with a triple a double two runs scored on Park Flair 5 2 for the American League leads one strike the spent he is in the midst of that Street who talked about at the top of the show time it hasn't stopped tonight you know Tony he's the kind of guy to it it doesn't get many cheap hits it's not going to be rows down it before the game every one of his hit seems to be a line drive seems to hit the ball extremely hard is he a good breaking ball hitter I've heard a lot of people say that he will hit a lot of breaks balls if you make a mistake with it he may sway in a bad breaking pitch when he's in one of his cold streaks he's a kind of a hot hitter hit anything know when the hitter like Mike Schmidt he's so strong excuse me and his wrists are so quick that for a while he'll hit almost everything I fly ball on a two ball one strike pitch Baylor has plenty of room so Claire requires a size three up three now let's go the last trip here in the Kingdome in Seattle to UPS will be Don Baylor of the Angels Jimmy rides at the Boston Red Sox and Shep letter of the White Sox there's our score 5-4 all right now do it just the way he does Oh h1 snippets assemblage camera and the work just press the button in the

also the Expos Steve Rock Baylor of the first hitter scoreboard tells quite a story this game has been seesaw as we're in the middle of the fifth inning nationally two of the first inning American League went ahead by one with three nationally titled up in the second American Eagle scarlet for the second deadly nationally scored one to the third go ahead four to three the American League came right back in the bottom of the third with two runs our stands at five to four we've got quite an exciting evening thus far just about halfway through the American League home run leaders lend a little bit of a surprise Beeler gorban promise right and then single to the Baltimore two balls no strikes to Don Baylor favor Fields has not really gotten the recognition he deserves see how hot he's been welcome July droven 99 runs last year even if I've gotten 100 he might have recognized me more more we go to Garvey one out watching Larry poor Tony do want to mention it Dave concepción another one of Tom's teammates was supposed to be here I was an injury Johnny bench's out Dave Kingman that didn't play the last couple of days before the all-star break and he would not be here yet Simmons of the Cardinals is here injured hand but not able to play suited up and as is Rock to rue Jim right he has popped out his grounded out one strike nastily four runs six hits one air that by Schmidt crackling fire runs for its doors [Music] here's the guy's improved and become more disciplined every single year and you can see the concentration right there one and one you pitch against demonstrate Chinatown he almost tore my head off dude yeah inside pitch inside fastball went right back to the build with tried to pull up the ball is a breaking ball away so we go one ball two strikes to right I played golf with a gym with Jim a couple of times and he can smoke it off that deep didn't really get it out there two things he did that really impressed me was when he tried to stop the swing in the bat broken his hand which he gets in torque and then I forget who the player was at Yankee Stadium he picked them up a ball played much like a bridegroom carried his bride across the threshold defied in the clubhouse that is some kind of strong the guy likes wit a streaker a good curveball by Rogers and that will send rice back to the bench next hitter with mm lemon you can see Rogers a very good breaking ball here also has the outstanding sinker took a little bit off of it of course rice play out in front strike three here's another good shot of rice you can see how far front and off-balance he is on the off-speed curveball but that chapter you can see that head was very still he watched it he was in front Rogers just moving one strike to lemon two outs back a leak leads five-two for where the bottom of the fifth very quickly Rodgers jumps way ahead Oh too all-star game results see some strength 33 to 49 you can see the American League's domination fifty to sixty two the nationally took over and what's happened lately does the Li MacPhail would like to forget so Rogers has an easy game three up three Dow with two strikeouts will go to the city dear the King go due up for the last delay Gary Matthews Edwin field and Babu with a score American League five and a spoken for one little smile isn't gonna change the world but you know it's a nice place to start and this is a nice way to start a smile ice-cold coca-cola coke ads life so have a Coke and a smile [Music] we feel like way today [Music] Oh on these leaders came in a week these cigars the Daniel is surprising Astros get they take Parker the Pirates or super singles Cardinals they come Saturday Joe Garagiola Tom Seaver Tony Kubek and Brian Gumbel back at the Kingdome in Seattle we go to the sixth inning correct myself as I into that last inning moon out of the lineup of course of an athlete Carter's come in he'll be the scheduled third hitter in this thing recent all-star games a location the last one the American League one was back in 1971 that was the game in Detroit Reggie Jackson hit that tremendous home run off the light standard Frank Robinson drove in the winning rod and the manager of that ballclub Earl Weaver the best in the game but if he's out of that tomato patch in Baltimore by his TV said watching this ballgame Matthews Claire Spitz to him breaking ball one strike boy you see the concentration on his face with that close-up he just had his eyes glued on that pitch he done take them off look at it he gets that bat going doesn't he Wiggles it behind his ear clear way ahead on no one too look at them wind it up check swing Cindy got one out slider from Claire Matthews couldn't hold up that might have been a strike anyway it might have had the corner with our shopping center feel this one right here I was watching Porter give those signs are given flap signs that must be tough to see they're making sure Tom pagès flapping he's not using fingers develop in the future simple but draw a flap down there one flap is a fastball to about to curveball or whatever especially with nobody on base in a situation like this you want to make them absolutely as simple as you possibly can I just watching them as the porter gives his signs you'll put his hand down and just flap it now you push down a finger do you believe that we set that up good is gone there I'll be there trying to follow everybody up there alternating hitters that way National League batting leaders Foster one field number two e turn and is usually today proxy in a booth seventh injured the irony of that is that Ted sevens who's injured today played for so many years yeah great Johnny Bench to not get the recognition finally the year that he makes it he's injured can't play one ball one strike one out Winfield facing Claire let's feel a guy who's never played in the minor leagues right San Diego from the University of Minnesota where he played for the late former major-leaguer dick Siebert the Brewers also had that experience like college for dick Siebert doing due to what be allowed Winfield really get to cut at this and he jumps on his high fastball he just doesn't get it he leaves his feet look at this you think that's a pretty good cut if I left his shoes that's a good shot turn in his right hand or we're trying to get on top of that ball two three balls two strikes to Winfield lined out and grounded out in this ballgame I thought you had a good line he hosted the commissioners luncheon with all the players today popped up out of play where's your line about what feel when you introduced ago I said that he does so much for the youngsters with his own money I said that some year he's going to win the most valuable player in a Nobel Peace Prize in the same year well some other awards given out at that banquet today to our director Harry Coyle for 25 years of service television in the dress industry directing our ballgame that a joke airs Yola 25 years of broadcast Quincy will put up for the double his first hit this all-star game the leg we won out at the time run at second base another good shot of a Winfield swing like Dave Parker he has outstanding power to the opposite field big long arms he likes that ball out over that plate shoves that ball right up the right-field alley for a devil I'll be Gary Carter American League leads five-two for find those stats one of the guys instrumental keeping that Montreal in school blog club the lead nation division asked the league this fella here Tony to a very intense competitor and he won't see many check swings from him Gary when he goes to rip it he really lets her fly what strike the count boy whoo what would he drop down at fall really broke at Carter back on his heels or too this will be an interesting pitch it's got a run on it the story position will he go get him will he stay Synar am I going to believe he's got a sidearm all away that he's backing them often for Winfield at second another breaking off of somehow mrs. fielder hi scarf error cook very calm do you see it fly and tired of never stop running with the second day is all tied up that was a good piece of base running not the fact that he scored but Winfield when he scored actually took Porter out of the play now watch Carter he just hits it on the end of the bat he doesn't really stick it back he had his eyes looking towards right-field when he hit it and win fear who can really run watch this plan to play what he does he could have gone in standing up I really believe that they slide detangles up Porter he can't handle the ball and luckily clear his back there and what he did was guaranteed a man going to second shades of Willie Mays right there I think that Willie Mays used to be the you thinks he used to do is a great player Larry Bowa fouled off the first pitch from clear one strike one out five to five game and the king of soul for the spark except today there was some silence here in the kingdom an athlete again by for two strikes tell you the fifth pitcher isn't back there they could picture it's another face but Winfield was going to make sure just a good piece of hustling baseball mark clear away ahead nationally with a base hit American League with four one ball two strikes to boy that's Carter down at second base he represents the lead Ron in this ballgame it's been nothing talk back and forth two balls two strikes one out five two five ball game and a man in the on-deck circle Pete Rose to UM to fetch a labelled 302 no it's interesting he's not impose uniformity and that the workout sure to have on those got the uniform on I think so Joe I think you're exactly right most uniform is not totally uniform ain't that is there workout uniform here you can see with the Phillies across but for the all-star game you could pitch there whatever you want right you got to believe Bros is walking and targeting over to Lasorda and full walk runners on first and second for roads without roads checking with Tommy Lasorda the simplest sort of do anything about are clear this was a path [Applause] the Rose will make kids 12 appearance an all-star competition is not it that while he's it just 240 overall got runners on first and second one strike not control there they are how does it second there he blows it first got a 5 2 pi day where the top of the sixth [Music] just miss down-low young mark clear of the California Angels with 2 min out base but ask the league don't think Jim Fregosi the management is happy to find a dr Claire two balls one strike no to Rose we're going to see the challenge basketball pitcher and Blair rooks fastball inner control foul ball could be too right [Applause] Darrell Porter and Mike white

all-star competition that's a record usual Americans play four positions before that heroes was not voted in this year untied felony by you faster semana solution sir Gaylord Perry term well he continues amazed everybody at 40 years old and the Sai Young Award winner in the National League last year some say that he'll put a little foreign substance on the baseball and make it think of times and I talked about that one day this is yeah if he do that go to the managers favorite hitter ball he keeps it going because he realizes is the threat of him loading the ball up for owner pleaser it's reflective as a pitch in fact he and his young 11 year old boy out here he said he's the only 11 year old little leaguer they can load him up when he reported the Kingdome yesterday for the workout Joe Lucio the trainer for the National League San Francisco trainer had a giant jar of Vaseline brightness locker with his jazz Porter and then Frank white is parried 41 years old fifth all-star game Tony his manager Roger Craig was flat-out says he's never been around a more dedicated our man who can concentrate more than Gaylord Perry there he goes that's part of the Act we're seeing er cutshall not just the most glamorous names in all of baseball and a five to five ball game a loft area masterly why are still the Toronto manager the first base coach he has of course a period in the sixteenth all-star game for the American League has a shot right by Davey Lopes yeah it looked like he might be limping as he's running down to first base there he's got a little problem he's going to be read by a fence runner going to be his teammate the Red Sox is going to replace this pesky LD person yes it's a great time he just keeps going on every regular-season game is justified it seems like you had another man resolves tough who has all of Fame credentials single Bobby Grich who sparked the nettles Reggie Jackson that manesis 45 into the regular season for 3,000 rock beats 27 more theirs is replaced with Gaza's Rick Burleson Porter went back to the bench they do not have very sophisticated side the all-star game obviously so Porter was called back by lemon the manager get him straightened out say not too tight sitting away what strength Relson at first all tied up at five were the last of the six Gaylord carries been a sigh of the war litter and each league bales often right they try to score both hold on of coming and then Westfield got the ball in so quickly with that strong our rel is held enough desert harder go to the double journeys again you can see the Pittsburgh Perry up in the strike zone here and he rattles it up up the alley Pat Corrales the third-base pitted a good play I think on holding Brill set up Winfield us now standing arm Lopes has a good arm here you see Burleson taking off he can see that it's going to be a hit and he goes all the way this is good baserunning he goes all the way until he's stopped by the coach that's the thing that many base runners should learn that they're going until they're stopped just the pacing hours for this value dr. Watters chair Turki to certify the five ball game social service where to get some of the people on campus [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] I can guarantee you Tony there's a young man there trying not to fall a Bruce bhakti but underneath that shirt that hearts pump at 180 miles an hour is that big moment for a young hitter like that 326 to 65 RBIs and is attached apparently he has a rip filed it off Carter lost of all brosef concern Carter's at second for the American League and a lot of surprises in those American League batting leaders to expect George Brett the others but look at all the up kids lined out and Smalley one Adam all of the top ten those folks the third quarter is second go out and that's a good field play in carried from the stretch with one strike to bhakti Oh reaction speak for itself the game is tied at five we're in the last two the second [Music] good block by Carter he saved her odds one ball two strikes great play he got it from that ball made sure that ball wouldn't get by a man this is a good lesson for the youngster watch him his ships over there get in front of that ball that's what he did weight hockey goalie and let that ball get by a good play Gary one ball two strikes Reggie Jackson to the American League McMahon distraught over Claire [Music] hi ballsy [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] there's a power junkman right to here first face looked like a secret away went right with us right off this very hard surface a single about the over Larry Bo's headed an RBI for Bruce bhakti [Music] where's your scar there's the mana didn't see Alberta's Bruce started out with Sexton stepping in to the batter's box is about to talk to Terry with runners on first and third the American League the American leaders leading 605 Lasorda has looked hot Cincinnati right-hander and sambito a left-hander loosening up in his bullpen [Music] the picture of Perry it is warm here even though we are indoors they do have a cooling but the president with his energy program they've made an announcement I've been unusually hot here 90s outside and put it out the right-hander sambito the left-hander they're calling for joe sambito of houston to replace perry with runners on first and third American Lee it is six to five an exciting baseball game we've seen so far tonight don't go away it's not over [Music] Wow where's your star the American League sex on Ashley five we're gonna take a break right now for the messages [Music] alright there's our start with Jackson schedule the pitch it from our clear Sam videos come on to replace their Freddie capital will replace Parrish American League has runners on first and third with nobody out they lead by one Joe Morgan and Chuck Tanner have been hollered in Jackson he drove a a football a fastball to scoop on a double Frankie sinker and it really just stealing Reggie he comes out well Reggie's been going to both benches and what he throws he throw the top to assign army once enough coffee obviously never seen joe sambito may be other than Spring Training if he has seen anything with the Astro down there this young fella has done a super job for the Houston Astros top that Jack Bell that's ready Jackson he does a super job for the New York Yankees but sambito has just been outstanding he's been to stop her out of that Houston bullpen there is that burn on average feeding one but I think an outstanding snaps onto this one right here six per gun has arrived in fifty seven innings pitch and that's one of the reasons that Bill Virdon small club played so well in the Western Division asked the league I have seen him twice time and as I recall he goes to be hard those hard has a very good hard slider and good control implication on closes his pitches and he can be nasty from the left-hand side to a left-hand hitter here we go [Music] absurd foxy dispersed the American League they lead by one and Reggie Jackson and the chance to pass this lead for the American League their self Porter there's black Pete Rose playing behind bhakti it has been some kind of ball game here the Kingdome in Seattle one strike all-star game patty leaders there they are Garvey 500 Finch not here he's got that muscle spasm and Reggie Jackson way outside football and looks like correctly grungy did not here yesterday at batting practice about 25,000 people showed up here in the kingdom to watch batting practice everybody came out early today Reggie did not swing the bat batting practice 1:01 one ball to strength there's part or third talk to me at first we're the bottom of the second American League leads six to five you're trying to break that streak of seven consecutive losses in all-star competition one or two pets we're outside a state by Carter Peto sunny threw that ball away and that was a good move by Carter don't bleaches out like a first-place prime mu by Carter I think it's just a matter of sambito trying to overthrow the ball and really jerked on the slider part of it make a super play I guess you'd have to say that's one department he is really improved is catching two balls two strikes Jackson's making sambito with runners on first and third there they are a lot regi one on it the ball was up man who seems to stir up attention even when he doesn't show up he did it today everybody waited and part of the American League dugout for Reggie Jackson to show up for batting practice they all had their pens boys their cameras pointed at the dugout exact stage the clubhouse two balls two strikes July I'll put a cut Darrell Porter first the American League Hokkien first a six to five ball game the American League the it isn't quite the world series confrontation because not as much as of state as the Welsh the Dodgers Jackson [Music] confrontation is pretty good Zhu Zhu Pets Josh got a piece very tough situation right here makes a good pit sambito does and regi does a good job and file it at all before you have my best liners he goes sliders I look like a slight ality breaking away from him yet Jackson sambito two and two nobody out the American League runners on first and third - hi the farther this goes along this confrontation between Ledo and Reggie the more the advantage switches the rich because before he senses the timing of how fast sambito is soaring the more pitches that he can see the better chance he's going to have hitters he's seen his best pitches already knows how hard he's throwing he can judge the speed of it and let's see those of a pitch that's clear out of the blue Reggie seen everything that said Peter has to offer now to sambito can get at the right spot he's pushed them as far as the binnacle goal three balls two strikes fouled off again by Jackson but controversial Reggie Jackson the man who senses drama and so many times has come through Reggie's only sad Tony because he can't watch himself play that's the only sadness he's got he hit those home runs he just watched them going to see he's a man of drama here comes the three and to pitch once again from sambito brow ball rope will he come home good come closer oh they've got poorer huh this has an article section for suckers for Darryl Porter long enough drugged up the double play here is again watch this replay loves comes right in and corner makes the play properly as he runs it back now when Porter Falls that's when he literally makes the play right here because now see he's got to go to get him and that's when Jackson rounded first went to second law-- turns into a spectator there's nobody in second base all was going over to cover third but now Carter was already there Carter goes in third now say wants to throw to second but there's nobody there now with runners on second and third as we look at the play once again here's the throw Hall Reggie Jackson smart baserunning also he wants the runner ahead of him and then went on to second base as Porter stayed in the rundown long it up say that no place to go right now they will intentionally walk slowly the switch hitter the mo of the bases with one out Margulis sex nastily mine we're the part of the sex and this is like going from the fried bed into the proverbial fire because now one out bases loaded George Brett a tough man to strike out and a man many consider to be the best player in the American League right fans is 26 times and 91 games as he has speed hits to all fields he can look inside and think it downtown and boy he has played through some injuries here's a guy you've got to admire the bases are full for the American League same in tighted third rows and tight at first four and low for the DoublePlay there's your defensive alignment Moxie's at third for the American League with one out sambito for the stretch what's like the breath why do you think he's enough to stretch well he's a relief pitcher Joe and he's got to be comfortable that's why he's most used to prejudice not being in that wind up it's it's really he has his choice in this situation he can pitch from the stretch or go into the windup but now a relief pitcher come in on is very used to pissy from the spirits and that's probably where he's most comfortable he's also trying to hold those runners at first and second a little bit closer outside the Brett so that Smalley cannot get a good jump on first base try it break up the double play on the ground ball Jackson might not get quite the jump off second base where you can score on the sale of the outfield one ball one strike one out sambito to brat with the bases loaded Greta's walked and scored around quarter and rounded out his pasta Oh Bobby short sniper second base I would like to have him pitch from the stretch of time so that's small it cannot tear you up at second base on the ground ball Pulis straight pop-up short left-center field wind fields got a feed on it he packed acid he's gonna hold what do you expect his oh you see that he caught that ball off balance turned his back to the SPL and the runner at third box build and go to home he does have a cannon out there in center field they went to when he when he almost has the collision no it really throws him off nobody taking any chances because he does not make a good rope where he can throw but you can see why look like he was going to run into Matthews the patients are still loaded for the American League here in the Kingo the score is still the American League sixth an athlete five in the last six Messara is off once again may make another $50 to get defensive change Paul will leave the game rattles of Harbor Mariner will go to shortstop and that way [Music] see what it's going to do with this batting order [Music] loafs Parkman sanfino were the scheduled hitters so they're going to make a change and probably [Music] what blow up he's out of the lineup rattles 3pao will strengthen our we come back right now the cost is it and there's your star American Yankee Stadium we lined up these 40 American cars and left their lights on for one hour two hours two and a half hours and then they all started they all had maintenance free diehards but diehard it batted a thousand in Yankee Stadium only it's serious this is the bench every ballplayer spends at least half his career right here working on equipment going over the hitters are just relaxing and when I relax I reach for Copenhagen the smokeless tobacco just a pinch between my cheek and gum gives me rich tobacco flavor without lighting up or tying up my hands so try Copenhagen or for you fellows just starting out mild happy days tobacco's you enjoy without lighting up see you bench we're back in Seattle Joker's yellow Tom Seaver Tony Kubek with almost 60,000 people and all of you out there in television land in showing some kind of ballgame and top here's Mike Lacoste on the pitch for the National League we're a Big Mike my teammates Cincinnati of six foot six he's a San Joaquin Valley boy where I grew up then a Fresno he's from Tulare in that area he leads the National League in earned run average as you can see there 2.29 and he is having just a superb year and one of the reasons the Cincinnati Reds are still in the pennant race big tall fellow unorthodox it was harder than you think he does and a lot of great movement on his fastball he think the ball feel the ball and he also has a slider you'll face a tough RBI man and Don Baylor the American League in the California Angels with the bases still loaded throughout the American League leading 6 to 5 Baylor did a Dublin scored single it scored and he grounded out one strike there's he drove home the six runs for the American League Jackson and there's the runner Smalley at first filed off he got one up on two if you wonder what it looks like you're hitting against Michael cos that's a pretty good shot right there that's a high-flyer I don't think Mike wanted that pitch up there I don't think he's kid off he's kind of a high-strung kid isn't he he's pretty high-strung but he's really matured a lot the last year Tony it's really helped him in this pitch she doesn't let things bother it now way ahead of man are on to now it's one ball two strikes Mike previously would let up let's say a bad call or an air or something upsetting with his pitching in this concentration it's really overcome that this year he's done a super job there your American League RBI leaders so get American League fan this is the situation you want thinner up the pace is loaded pile up getting started with Yastrzemski single person hits Ryan Porter doubled bhakti with the infield it bounced a hit over for that was the sixth American League round to put him ahead I drowned out by Jackson they trapped Porter off third Smalley was intentionally walked rep light out but there is still a threat going for the American League with a baseball two balls two strikes [Music] boxers Jackson a second smiley at first American League to this point you can't see a more exciting all-star game [Music] learners tribes hope rod that came to leave the American League six to five you up it'll be Loucks a marker and then suppress rebels for

[Music] Joe garish yellow with tony kubek Tom Seaver and Brian Gumbel at the Kingdome in Seattle where the American League leads the National League 65 over the top of the seventh and the scorecard is really starting to look dotted up here we've got all kinds of changes and there is the one in the dugout nettles is now playing third base Burleson is playing shortstop Grich is playing second base bodies at first base Jim Curran is the pitcher and Reggie Jackson is in right field so you really got to stay on top of it as we see Joe Morgan come in as a pinch hitter a bit as we see Joe Morgan come in as a pinch hitter for Dave Lopes and current delivers the strike remember after the game now stay tuned for local news followed by The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson on most of these stations except on the west coasts of Mountain time zone stations these programs will be seen at the regular time two strikes the count on Morgan Jim Kern came over to Texas from Cleveland a relief pitcher par excellence leave me mark Lee gang hun Reverend run Everest 1.48 and what a curveball it just says he's a strikeout pitcher 86 strikeouts in 85 and a third innings pitch primarily a fastball pitcher he can change speeds Brian downing behind the plate we go around yes he did there's the third base umpire Billy Williams at Shaw Morgan is out on strikes that call he just overpowered Joe that last pit stop well again talking to Pat Corrales before the game about his pitcher Jim Curran the reliever here as you see Morgan point all the way around definitely swinging at a current fastball current can get it up there with the best of them outstanding fastball the Corrales says that he's come up with a good curveball and a good slider to go along with those numbers of these don't answer that real nice look at the RA of one point something's very understandable here is Parker Parker struck out hit his sacrifice fly and flied to center field Jim Curran up the middle knocked down by current here comes rich it is not in time base it for Parker but a good defensive play by Grich while we sure have seen the versatility of these all-stars today we've talked about power a lot but the speed of Parker the agility of the Parker and some of the hard baserunning we've seen so far this ball game shows how much pride he's been having themselves of their respective leagues [Music] really gets down the line which came in hard off balance Roy had good stuff on this ball which made a good play made that play a person lot closer than it looked like it was going to be because the hard you can really get down that line here's quick Reynolds's come on fastball misses ball one current 10 and to record 16 days 41 games Reynolds the Astros from this area [Music] quick throw dinner at third-base looking around the Empire's there what about poor guys what about fog billy williams is moving in closer third face as we look at the earned run averages with kern right on top that goes parker how long he had a pretty good jump as a tip off on Parker's ability as a complete player you can steal the face got a pretty good stolen base percentage - and there it is 13 stolen bases in 15 attempt first access left leg kind of high at times time it certainly does you know I got to think that the NFL coaches got to be drooling when they look at this guy Parker sit five-year 135 pounds oh I'm like that or I'm it is their phenomenal athlete how to play okay that Parker's had a few people in Pittsburgh drooling over the years he's had tremendous athletes today maybe he puts on a disguise in place for the steersman he could do it six to five were in the seventh inning the American League is out in front Jim Curran nothing will scare this fellow I tell you you've got a great reputation as one of those free spirits one two pitch there goes Parker bouncing ball nettles at third fires the first and covering 3rd Burleson because Parker had some ideas about coming over turn is a practical joker and help that reputation one of the riders was reading a blind ambition by John Dean he tore out the last five pages of a them out of the bookstore to find out on ends learn that trick in the army didn't yet here is Ron say [Music] markers and second base [Music] strike one Jim turn against Ron say 68 with 17 home runs six-five 205 current a big guy [Music] curveball misses [Music] Caron shaking off some signs Parker's at second base since the time run hi we hi two balls one strike to us you can see current looks like you got underneath the breaking ball and flipped it up their bed to try in the strike zone look at him he's not very happy about her fall didn't seem to do anything which to say fastball that's his bread-and-butter pitch right there he's got it so hard tie balls two strikes Rahn saying as you look at that nationally quests you can hardly believe that Dodgers are 17 and a half games out of first place Cincinnati five and a half or five behind the league leading Houston Astros I've tied fast Paul boy how it changes in a hurry Tom Lasorda in a World Series is in last place six months later Bob lemon who won the World Series is out of a job you think there's security of managing there is Lasorda three balls two strikes two outs wild off I say and there is Bob lemon who says he just wants to go back to Long Beach and being with wife Jane and try to get it all together it's been a rugged time foreign one of the more popular guides ever to put on a uniform and again that rumor that we not able to confirm but al Rosen the president of the Yankees soccer on a ballpark is that he will resign from his Yankee position jam d nettles at third base has it there is this row stays out that empty inning we go to the bottom half of the

three and he will not make [Applause] Dave Parker talking to each other out there marking and Parker talked about the four buta triangle from second base right around that spot back out toward centerfield but quite a recovery to show a tremendous throwing arm with a perfect one hopper to say to get right Wow boy I'll tell you when you got an arm like that you can erase a lot of mistakes when you have speed like him you can erase a lot of mistakes he just simply lost the ball and then as he when he threw the ball Johnny he looked around through his arms up as they I never did see it so there's one out time has been called and something came flying out of there looks like a frisbee in center field they talked about it this is another thing that you can do find something you can the only thing he slows up a little bit between second and third I believe is that something he's F is be a button 90 yards here's lemon one out strike one an area that the players referred to as the triangle and we saw it we've seen just about everything in this game so far we're in the bottom of the seventh six five American league-leading strike two Chet lemon Mike Lukas Brian and Carlton were

Astros we're going to see them against the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cincinnati Reds against the Cardinals so as you check the local listing for the game in your area but Houston Astros I'm anxious to see them and the Pittsburgh charged Cardinals playing good fall Lee Mazzilli is the pensioner from the New York Mets and hisses and I've been coming another up-and-coming young star first all-star appearance and I think what's interesting is these two teams make up 19 first time all-stars are this part today talk about anybody fearful that baseball does not have any new young stars l disprove it there's only takes it high ball one last fall two balls no strikes American league-leading 65 Lee Mazzilli youngster work worked hard to overcome physical handicap growing up as a young who wanted to be a ballplayer stayed with the daily exercise Phil Cabarete a great Cub worked with him as the baton instructed whenever when he's the Mets and here he is an all-star game well head it's not bench there's a happy young man right there Lee Mazzilli had the pleasure of playing with him for a couple of years in New York when I was still with the New York bet he's really become a fine hitter he's really learned the strike zone and he goes with a pitch now the pitch away he'll go with that ball a lot of strength here it is an opposite field home run he stayed right with it both hands on that bat to follow through 13th home run by a pinch hitter the last move by Yastrzemski in 1975 and we're all tied up again and here is Dave Winfield it's a strike call I tell you boys like two heavyweights is punching each other out here there are not too many players in all-star game history you just did what facility did first all-star at fat be it's a home run one ball and one strike on Winfield who is going all the way lined the right get to a force plate driving two-run double and scored fouls it off out of play six six that's the score we're in the eighth inning a home run by Lee Mazzilli as the pinch-hitter has just tied it up on ball two strikes nobody on nobody out Winfield hi curveball two balls and two strikes [Music] fastball through it by wind feel is that on strike there was strength against strength and Kern won the battle they went there with those big long arms and a big swing place to pitch him if you can throw hard try and get inside on him on the inside part of that plate just don't make a mistake that's all he gets his cuts doesn't he here's Gary Carter Carter drove it around as he pooped a single in left field his last time up low ball one Gary Carter at 8:00 at home run by Mazzilli off Kern he's back to paw had a good cut fouled it off the mask of downing and home run off current by Mazzilli really is newsworthy because Karnas allowed only one home run in 85 innings during the season downing checking that mass you can hit one of those foul tips that the first thing you're going to do fastball is low 185 any that Mazzilli comes up at the tensioner and hits one in an all-star game but then again that's why they're here they're all-stars you are seeing the best to want pitch hit off the end of the bat octi makes you play it's a foul ball throw the ball out shoot for the outside corner Carter and a rich sport we're out in front of a breaking ball look like y'all sit on the end of the bat two balls and two strikes Jim Curran pops it up near that triangle again although Chris is calling for it and makes the play so there are 2 way and Keith Hernandez's come out of the National League dugout I'll say one thing Bob lemon and Tommy Lasorda have certainly made this a true all-star if they are using their rosters and as patty now this time was sort of who we got the jacket part for the National League Larry Paris and John Stern and the groan suited to pitchers Seaver was talking about that could be an important factor going down here to Jonathan's got to and he's left in this for less than two innings only Negro soon and sooner left for the National League in the American League Lemon still has Guidry Tommy John may Blue Magic sit monkey and then Don Stenhouse he's got Newman in singleton with the two three four five six seven players to the American League one two three four five and now Hernandez is in so make it four so they're using them all this ball catches the inside corner two strikes Keith Hernandez hitting 325 as we look at Pete Rose the on-deck circle nany's having a good year for the Cardinals good fielder good hitter one ball two strikes I think I had Clark still available he's gone he's been used in the ball game curveball he was way out in front so turn doesn't really realize that the inning is over but it is and to up as we come into the bottom half of the eighth that is prime County Bruce Bochy and Reggie Jackson were tied at 6 apiece for higher gas mileage come to Chrysler Chrysler Corporation is number one in gas mileage of the big three when comparing models with standard

Chicago Cubs Bruce sooner he'll be split fingered fastball papi downing is the catcher the patter rather obviously the catcher where else would he play okay Brian Downey two quick strikes by Bruce Souter flip fader forkball Pop Idol hate defense was devastating fits in the games live seats of good hitters have some bats wings of Bentley well there Toni and then it's not it's a I share my ride to work most every day with bill Bonham of course bill played with Bruce Souter we've talked about this pitch coming in and and Bill tries to throw it once in a while I still understand I don't understand it Tony you call it a spook triggered pork balls he changed the name unsafe split-fingered fat below was taught to him by abandoned spent a lot of years a friend of yours I know Joe the late Freddie Martin died not too long ago mark then moved over to the White Sox with Doc Kissinger as a pitching coach but he taught the pitch what fingers fastball downing has just made himself a good hitter and over the winter brought up steam net and just practice practice first here comes the manatee our buck [Applause] these are solar powers that's all Brian downing [Applause] Incredible Hulk something The Strokes span of the American League Donnie Bruce had a face hit his first time up a big one we're all tied up there in the bottom of the eighth of six apiece you might see something a little rarer an all-star game you may see a bunt there it is scooters only play will be the first base Morgan covers a sacrifice not very often when you see an all-star get off the bus man in the scoring position but here we are in the eighth inning and they need that redditor scoring position with nobody out first boxing does this job very well so Reggie Jackson is the better get a delay here let me remind you to tomorrow on a today show a live interview with former Nicaraguan president on a special supposed to that's tomorrow on today a live interview with the Nicaraguan president both time minute delay because this egomaniac decides to run on a field [Applause] I just wished it Parker one of those big guys would grab him he has come out to watch the ballgame he came out to make make a fool of them stuff which would be a useful business everybody enjoying a ball game the momentum is really gone we got a tied up ballgame and then you get some guy like that running around ridiculous I say he's lucky to Joe he ran over shook hands of heroes and three pizzas pretty calm player he plays way up high but he's pretty talk Larry like he didn't walk up to somebody get punched right to know one time a guy ran out what I would like to check the prices perhaps rewards what happens after the spot you lose a couple of swings or one big swing Reggie Jackson I think Piersall was not alone in that kind of treatment of those guys Mike Curtis wants me to expand out there at any rate our shooters gone down even second Jackson is on it first and Bobby Grich is the batter rich had a big day against the Yankees hit a home run to beat Guidry and had all five RBIs so he's on a tear right now he's up against suitor one man out high score bottom of the eighth yes he did this Lee Weyer strike one Lee Weyer of the National League at first base and why are visiting but it's trifle on rich there's blue suitors that to start solving whatever it is if you know if you just look at his numbers numbers are really tell something 23 hits in 52 and he's pissed this is 32 games so far a 1.21 earned run average 20 Tuesday's leads the nationally nine strikeouts 50/50 strikeout which soon and went to work on it got it so there are two way American League bullpen gets active as we look at sooner Greg nettles the batter with 13 home runs 29 runs batted in nicknamed puff hanky players say he starts it and puffed he's gone eyeball on downing that second Jackson is in first nettles the batter there are two outs and we're tied at 6 apiece bottom of the 8th [Music] you can get it one and one to count see the baserunners downing second Jackson's at first Greg Nettles it starting to second half can the Yankees come back like they did last year what about Houston what about the Dodgers a lot of questions to be answered we get going again here there's a strike you're off and running now we all straights out we're off it's a little bit better lately thank you yeah you're pitching a lot better baseball fans glad of it line drive right [Applause] my partner baby what a play [Music] the player of the game one big hop Watson the great play by Carter as you said Joe a strong throw down he tried to slide inside away from the ball Carter blocks him off he knocked him right off the plate never did many men how Carter was able to catch that ball he cuts loose with the ball but now watch Carter not the runner off the plate right there he pushed them off almost get them there look at his hand some friend is worked by our crew and Carter comes up with the ball and he had a good ball to handle Tony I'll tell you all the way out apply so heading a cutoff man in this situation goes slow the ball down on hitting on the artificial surfer anything I'll get all the way on the fly and it was not that shallow so what a plan we've got enemies and we're still tied at 6 apiece one too strong one through six one just wrong ones left no fun until you find the one that hits you just right linen skin bracer has got the nice clean smell you're looking for an aftershave skin bracers got those skin tighteners and gin killers that really wake you up and there's nothing

foreground and watch his reaction as Carter he thinks he's got it and now he rose look at Rose look at Rose he called him out yeah he's helping him fire nettles did a good pitch to hear the pitch that was right off his shoe top layer fastball seemed like who's gonna score for second in this it did that Tony and now it's current against Pete Rose ball one top of the ninth inning foul ball one ball one strike it's been chance to thank tempos field the Kingdome staff the Seattle Mariners Daniel O'Brien Jeff Forsberg Jeff old wall of course Commissioner Bowie Kuhn and his staff all the people from baseball of both leagues who just helped us so much two balls one strike nobody on nobody out ninth inning left feel beautiful running catch by Jim right morning he was a guy up town even a guy that was very displeased about being a D H of their boss at one day he certainly wasn't seventy-five his first year as we look at this awesome eclipse that rolls lines the left he did have a foot here defensively in 75 but that would some of the other things that happened distress he moving from first base and a lot of changes in that ballclub and Scott at all he was a th but he wasn't bad at 75 then he got the bad reputation you can learn pretty well Morgan came on replaced Lopes struck out the seventh ball one high ball two two balls no strikes six runs 10 hits no errors for the American League six months ten hits one error for the National League what a ball game we've had Morgan was gone from downtown he had a pitch and he had a cut Jim Curran one Joe is really struggle along this I know he's really been heard of time some of the fans of Putin and two consecutive years at MVP market draws the base on balls in managers just don't like to see that based on balls the seventh eighth and ninth inning here is Parker who made that tremendous draw to get down into place prints rollin around playing soccer today well when we showed you Parker in the lineup we talked about it being a complete player clinic little balk argue with Lee Weyer interpretation by National American League umpires American think they don't call that kind of move a ball where you jump up and turn but need are the National League and Lee wires a national league umpire top I've noticed that Tony watching the game through the seasons watching something American League keeps it seems to me being a national leaguer that that's definitely a balk now as the national leaguer that's a part to me and of course that should be on Jim Kearns mind knowing you have a national league umpire first base you can't do the you can't turn to get spin on that left heel we got to pick it up and turn it over there and just for one game you've been doing it all season or a couple of seasons and then you've got adjust for this game you got to pay the price tiger Parker as we take another look at gym currents move Parker is the first time in an outfit had to assist in an all-star game so you think about is that now it's a defense fastball low two balls no strikes think I can do it all tiebreaking run on at second base Jill Morgan they're going to put him on it appears because everybody has shifted over now yes they are they're going to put him on the on deck batter is Craig Reynolds so there is the intentional walk and we've had it all we've seen just about everybody that's made the club we've had home runs Pynchon home run we've had defensive planes hard slides great pitching and here we are tied in the ninth jewel market at second Parker at first Greg Reynolds [Music] what a ball game this has been tremendous crowd and nobody has gone home [Music] past fall is inside the official attendance here 58,000 905 it's the fifth largest in all-star history baseball attendance is up some 900,000 from last year we play 24 million 513 plus it's a record pace baseball fever is being caught all over the US and a game like this just adds to it six-six retired psyche is call one ball one strike bullpen for the American League it's active I've been called out something came out of the stands in right field Britt's just checking with his picture Ron Guidry in three in a bullpen much less the magic Johnston house parquetry Newman in singleton [Music] two balls in one strike nationally excited Stearns parish and D Pro that's it markings and second Parker is at first two balls one strike one out there you see the big guy ha nope it's falling to bill Joe Oh Phil said no Phil it was a ball on a field he's going to get another shot it was the up fire down in the left-field Carter Terry Cooney of American League the ball got loose in the bullpen and it was on the field so he called Vulpix turn is upset he's a pitcher for the American League [Music] that is very coolly so current we'll have to do it again rentals gets another chance the ball came out of the bullpen Terry Cooney called it no play Kimani American League bullpen and Reynolds gets another shot there's Guidry Bryant behind him you saw saying I'll sit down there and that's where that ball came from fouled it back so Josh what I got to do to a picture I just want to find out the time Tony well you can't really let it do anything to you Joey let's go see it's like a Powerball go getter if you have to give yourself a pep talk little extra you just say just go right get right back into your game plan did your nose out of joint that's what you started making bad pitch and start hanging curve balls and things like that two balls and two strikes one out scores tied we're in the ninth morgan's is second Parker is it first popped up foul territory handled is coming hard and middles make me almost busted their whole baby now we've talked off and on during this all-star game here the king go but how you can't lose the ball here's a man who might have well as good a glove as anybody in baseball and that would all both speak down [Music] so there are two way petals heads back towards third looks up and says I don't know I'd like to do that all the time Ron say save born in Tacoma Washington retinas area working the tiebreaker fastball is inside say along with many of the Dodgers talking about what was what's wrong with them nobody can figure it out it's more that they're puzzled and it will begin right after this all-star break and we'll be in Pittsburgh to xenos division leading the Houston Astros and parents valve and then the carpals in Cincinnati at the game of the wing we'll have some dandies coming down the stretch [Music] one ball one strike Joe Morgan the tiebreaker at second Parker with great speed at first [Music] a lot of play took a little more time he has good stuff to it good hard fastball that pits right up around Ron stays letters right off the handle and didn't get the bat head out front at all Turk can get it up there pretty good I'm very pressed with this all right handler say he's been doing some job for Corrales and Brad carpet in those Texas Rangers [Music] 1 2 pitch low 2 & 2 per collegiate feel especially at Short and second Burlison fish playing kind of beat here jockeying a little bit bargain but then they'll go back because they want to knock anything on the grounds down keep it in the infield there's Mazzilli on deck [Music] - tooth hi three balls two strikes two out they'll be off and running Parker can now store Birds there's Mazzilli who tied it up with a pinch-hit home run down the left-field line current would only given up one hundred eighty five innings and Mazzilli touched for a home product tonight 3 2 pitch that goes to merry-go-round hi the bases are loaded three walks imploded the faces as the sort of looks on Bob lemon is coming out of the American League if you think it's just another game how about it what does it mean to the players what does it mean to the players you guys planted it I tell you Joe this all-star game I've been brave porches I've been able to play in 11 of these things like a party what's that game starts it is all business okay Ron Guidry comes in we've got a break in the action at high score bases-loaded two outs we're coming back and so will you I'm sure after these temperatures we like the card over we like the price we like to trade in so we bought it your chrysler-plymouth dealer is clearing is seventy-nine inventories so right now the deals are fantastic on cordobas far as I'm concerned the Cardo biz ride to design the comfort is right up there the Cadillac great deals on Chrysler LeBaron Stu we like to throw so Vail and Buick wagons but we found if the Chrysler and the baron wagon was the best dealer a good price your Chrysler dealer has the cars they've all got to go so let's make a deal par you sold out of my Gillette track two blades again never happened when I

what a ballgame we have Parker's on a second here's that play way picton tremendous throw and gets a lot of help Gary Carter all the way on a fly down in his trying to score the tiebreaker and once Carter once he gets the ball he knocks the base runner off look at the right hand trying to get underneath get the with the knee pushes him off base to tag and that is right now the key play of the ballgame and Brazilian batting right-handed Nixon high ball one again dependent coverage by our guy silly batting right-handed against Ron Guidry bases-loaded two outs ball two here's two members of the New York team right here Guidry of course the Yankees Mazzilli with a mess bases-loaded no place to put him sort of turning one foul balls and one strike ron guidry 42 base on balls all year six and seven record three losses in a row is in there with the bases loaded and Mazzilli the batter a two point five one earned run average three and one you know that the concerning clues they turn him loose to know he can pick his six ticks were tied we're tonight to uh [Applause] the fourth base on balls in this inning and the league is taking a seven and six week and here is windstream the danger here you might let up Tom this guy jump on the first pitch there's a look of disgust garage entry after you let that go you know the run was coming home last year sigh of award-winner the American League wind sail bases still loaded 7-6 National League winning jumps on the first pitch and boy you always have to worry about that you're a guy who throws as hard as Guidry or barely has been control credits to Lynn for a success Sparky Lyle taught him the hard slider down in the bullpen one that didn't hurt his arm and picked it roll now with the Cubs bases-loaded one strike pitch high chopper Burleson's big hop for six second is in time that ends the inning but the National League they take the lead with a run and do up for the American League in the bottom half the pitcher spot Jim Curran is scheduled followed by Jim Rice and Chet lemon 7x patch the leg ladies you know trying to run a major league baseball club is no fun in games the pressure is always on and for guys like us there's no offseason so when you will and deal as much as we do you can't afford to get build-up that's why we drink like beer familiar it's got 1/3 less calories than their regular beer and it tastes great too how about the trade how about throwing in bud Harrelson let's see bud Harrelson gates brown a maquette grant right to bull piles and a very faint light beer familiar everything you always wanted in a beer unless I want to Frank Malzone [Music] [Applause] [Music] MDC proudly presents specials from Miss America the Bob Hope in China he why weird [Music] Khem singleton will be the pinch-hitter for Jim card as we go to the bottom of the ninth and Souter the life of the game tonight an exciting game that is The Tonight Show will not be seen the local news will follow this game with the tomorrow show 30 minutes later nets on the East Coast viewers on the West Coast will see local programming with the tomorrow show at 11:30 pokerface was going pop Master League Larry Paris and look at the chicken talking to Billy Williams okay scooter I guess singleton the pinch-hitter parish is a third I think about scooter Joey just wait dizzy time he gets the ball and boom he's thrown again he's not a guy to waste a whole lot of time on that Mound there's the strike one ball one strike there really caught in a line both the first and third baseman really guarding the line against singleton here's a shot of the defense but not close Rose is crying two strikes one ball two strikes suitors coming Adam boy he's losing confidence our counselors also have moved a little bit deeper pearl-white good chance of an extra-base hit you can cut off the alley little more Parker Ethan Wright would fill up in the brilliant center [Applause] Joe market in second base there's one away trying to get something one out and Jim Rice is the better this is the one guy that played the entire game for the American League International against T guys Dave Parker and right fielder Whitfield last left field I wouldn't yank this Carolina myself powers of manager where you're joining takes one swing with this guy strike his mom [Music] seventy-six National League leading words of bottom of the ninth one out nobody on this was really break late time because so many times you see that split fingered fastball start about belt high it breaks right at the last the bottom falls out and ups at times of the dirt and your good hitters disciplined hitters will swing at it well they have to commit themselves I've heard people say well how can you say it that it's in the dirt you can't wait to very long and it breaks so late down a little bit yourself you have to go after the pitch price is out on strikes two away and take a look at this swing does he come close nor that ball ends up down at the angles and it started around the belt it will go down and sometimes act like a school ball that time going in to the right-handed hitter but it's just so hard so two outs nobody on get lemon against blue suitor white sock against the Cubs Oh this game has had everything with all expectation of power based on balls did it - cause no strikes love something pops in hurry for the American League the National League will continue the dominance of this all-star game competition Mazzilli knocked in a tying run with a home run and winning run with a base on balls any like that inside three balls and no strikes enough suitor escorting with trouble lemon takes a look at your alleys two outs nobody on 7:6 national league lady oh poor time running on [Applause] brings up brick berelson [Music] he's coasting the central time zone the local news will follow the game with pearls indexes those of you the East Coast central time zone local news will follow the game strike again probably didn't like it sorter jumps not ahead very quickly on Rick Carlson [Music] [Music] the two strike pitch struck him out suitor strikes out Bertha hastily Quintus by the score of seven mystics so that's the final score there and look at that National League bench a happy French boy or girl who has been voted the most valuable player and he really did it all mostly i defensive play guys rally analyst has to walk what it feel hip sacrifice fly is strike on the fly ball but the great throw home to a sense is what did it for him so the national league continues this dominant town we saw some pretty good pitching but that players the plate has to be the key play well I think obviously the key player the ball game Dave Parker with a tremendously strong arm to remember also not only to play the plate that when he threw Jim Wright out going to third base with nobody out in the inning that would have been another run for the American League so he he not only did he drive it around a blaming costly American Lee a couple of runs with this defensive play hey you know your long look Houston again [Music] you you you
