Baltimore Orioles at New York Mets - World Series Game 5 - October 16, 1969

the Koufax and Mickey Mantle Mickey I'll let you think of something first sandy you were right you said Seaver would pitch a gem and he did he just I thought looked great all through the ballgame he started off a little slower than he finished was about the fourth inning on yeah great stuff a great control I think he got a little tired in the ninth but oh no I think was just a great ball game three games to one Bucky you're sitting there with Baltimore and deal for the driver car well I'm not laughing anymore I don't know about the Orioles but I'm getting a little mad I think that everything that could happen has happened for the Mets they just they've just done great and I don't even know what to look for when I go back out there anymore well everybody is talking about believe it or not not the great catches of Swoboda and Jones are they hitting but rather of the final play when Martin one of the ball Richert came over pick it up and through now according to this morning's papers we didn't hear it yesterday at the ballpark some are saying that JC Martin was out of the baseline and should have been declared out do you think so sandy well first of all I got to say Martin made a fine bunt I think you can see here that he is inside in fair territory as he's going down the first base line there is that double white line about 45 feet from first base it runs halfway down the base runner is supposed to be in that if he's not the umpire can declare him out I just didn't see it yesterday I don't know if anybody saw it yesterday I just know that I'd hate to be the umpire that had to make that decision yesterday at Shea Mickey did it ever occur to you that he was out of the baseline I wasn't watching the runner quite so much the left-handed pitcher is the one that come in and fielded the ball and really Ellie Hendricks the catcher is a right-handed Claire he's running toward first base and toward the mound he wouldn't have had to throw the ball quite so close to the base runner but in a world series like this you know and you got the winning run on third base anyway you don't really have enough time to get together that that's soon well a controversial and amazing World Series continues and we'll discuss more of it in a moment as we'll return with more of World Series report [Music] delicious smokers of America do yourself a flavor make your next cigarette for tipple at cherry burgundy or natural from Muriel cigars this is Gatorade the greatest thirst quencher ever made says who says the New York Yankees the Minnesota Twins the Cincinnati Reds the Detroit Tigers the Chicago White Sox the Oakland Athletics fact is Gatorade has become the official thirst quencher of baseball and oh yes the Main Street Hawks say it tastes so good it makes you glad you get thirsty Gatorade the big thirst quencher Mickey I know you've been in a lot of World Series you played a lot about you in the World Series but gee whiz they've only talked about g on frito and a morose before this series then they began to talk about Tommie Agee's two great catches of two days ago but there was a great catch by Swoboda yesterday and it was one earlier by Cleon Jones well it just seems like every time that one of the Mets running dives with ball flies into his glove somewhere yeah I've never seen plays like this I've played in 13 World Series myself and watched a lot of them I've never seen plays like these it's Cleon Jones all the ball hit by Davey Johnson is that your comment any such thing as good pitching without good defense and this is just what the Mets have had every time they've had a chance to run and stick out a glove somewhere when the guy got out there was a ball in it so I remember one time when Casey was was our manager we was playing I don't remember the team was playing but I remember a comment he made after the game said that the outfielders were just running around sticking their gloves out that's what it looks well glendenning's home run was the only run of the game until the 9th sandy and that's where Seaver had a slight letdown yeah I thought he got tired a little bit when he did get tired I think he stopped pitching started threw the ball off he had Frank Robinson at the plate and he looked like he tried to sneak a fastball by on the inside corner to Frank and tried to throw it by him in there and it's a good pitch to Frank I think that's where you have to pitch him but this one he just maybe didn't quite have enough on Frank hit the line drive into left field and I think possibly he still had a little problem with his foot his instep because both mickey and I thought Frank would probably try for a second when he didn't boog singled into right field and Frank went around a third and set the stage for us we'll vote his great catch with two out Mickey this is the play of the game maybe of the series yeah Brooks Robinson hits the ball into right-center this is this is the best play I've ever seen in my life as far as I'm concerned it saved this game for him and it was one of those plays where he didn't catch the ball and then dive he had to dive the length of his body for a little farther to catch the ball and he catches it in the air as he's diving sandy and I didn't think that he could have that's the only spot in that play where he could have caught that ball if he tried to run back and cut it off on a first bounce or something we don't think he could card it would have went all the way to the wall and Boog Powell would have scored well now we go to the tenth inning and here's another controversial play again and I'll go to Mickey well this is my man Buford he's had a bad leg himself and he was playing kind of deep there but I'm almost sure this ain't the reason that he didn't catch that ball with it because he lost it in the Sun this is what you talked about the amazing Mets here a fella looks up to the heavens and loses the ball somebody up there likes them I think that somebody up there really likes them I'd read somewhere about the I don't know very much about astrology I don't believe or I didn't believe in it before I'm starting to believe in it now I think that somebody up there taking care of them well Brody goes down to second they put Gasper in to run for him with nobody out they walk our whites and then they send up JC Martin to bat for Tom Seaver and what's not out sandy everybody knew that mark was gonna bunt definitely I think Gil Hodges told him to bunt down to that side cuz it tough play for the left hand pitcher to make if it's bunted to third I live in an easier play for a left hand pitcher and as it turned out it was the ball game and this is not what was described as the dead Mets of the first day of the series sandy you said something earlier discussing this plate as a left-hander on the mound in the World Series would you have made the play that record made I'll be honest bad and fielders I was at any fun enough making difference it was the World Series or not I would have let the catcher coming out trying to make the play and if I had to make it in that situation I might have intentionally grounded it take your chances with the play at the plate well yeah I just was not that good at feel the right to catch the ball right I had trouble throwing to bases well we've got to look ahead today it could be the final day and we will in a moment as well return with more of World Series report I'm Colonel Harland Sanders and I'd like to tell you a little bit about my Kentucky Fried Chicken hey you two coming you go ahead on it I want to talk to these folks a little bit longer now I said Kentucky Fried Chicken there's only one way to cook Colonel Sanders Kentucky Fried Chicken and that's my way we always use plump young brawlers always fresh never frozen chicken it's cut in pieces than each piece of dipped in milk and egg wash then into seasoned flour in which we have the 11 different spices herbs for flavor one more thing folks it's the only way that you're going to get chicken than it's finger lickin good and I'd be mighty proud to have you try Colonel Sanders Kentucky Fried Chicken mighty proud excuse me border will you please hey litter there didn't I tell you it was finger lickin good Kentucky fine city if you want Kentucky Fried Chicken you have chase Stadium will go positively insane today if Jerry Koosman does do it Sandeen is going against Dave McNally the last time this hookup came you said that you had to believe off the basis of that League Championship game we saw McNally pitches well the strongest pitching jobs that he's that you've seen in two or three years he's got to have it today well I think McNally is in a lot of ways in the same situation that Tom Seaver was yesterday I think probably he came into the second game having too much rest he's the kind of pitcher that has to have good control to win Koosman on the other hand with great stuff like Jerry has he can be just a little less on top of his control and pitch a great game and he did in the in the second game but I'd have to say today that I'm looking for McNally to pitch a great game are these pitchers similar other than being left-handers well they each throw the same pitches but I don't think you could say that they're similar with Jerry Koosman that his best pitch is probably a fastball with McNally I think his best pitch is his curve in his slider he's got a good fastball but it wouldn't be that good without the other two they keep you got you start let you charts out if you consulted them what do you what do you think well I think the Orioles are in this position about like Custer was when he told his man he'd take no prisoners but they've got to make something happen they can't sit back and wait for a break to help them now it looks to me like the breaks have all been going the other way and this is a time when when that old saying that if something is not happen make it happen would be a good good thing to use today because they're just gonna have to start trying to do something that is Wow so this is the last game you know what we didn't bring up Earl Weaver was thrown out of the game first time a manager since 1935 I think that that might have hurt him a little bit because when you play the whole year with a guy and you've done good as they have done you you learned that whatever he says goes and even though Billy Hunter is probably he's been there all year right with him and he's probably doing the same things that Weaver would have done it's still not like having your leader there so it might have hurt him a little bit you know I'll bring up one more thing because it was in the Baltimore baseball program for the World Series they pointed out that the bullets when the Eastern Division of the National Basketball Association didn't make it to the finals the Colts won the NFL last year the Jets beat him in the Super Bowl Baltimore declared the team of the decade in the American League and they could lose three in a row for Baltimore talk about the amazing Mets Baltimore would go mad we'll be back with a final prediction but after these messages on World Series report okay mister triple threat what's it gonna be are you kidding mom Gatorade iterates with the pro strength it's sure great when you're thirsty Jimmy if you keep this up I'm gonna need a bigger refrigerator just for the Gatorade fill her up mom Gatorade tastes so good it makes you glad to get their Gatorade the big thirst quencher for active people this man is going on a Latin American tour you see in every Dutch master cigar are four great tobacco's from Latin America first stop Brazil and it's flavorful tobacco then Center Domingo Maya next rich tobacco from Columbia and lively tobacco from Puerto Rico four great tobacco's you get a Latin American tour in every Dutch master cigar forget Custer's last stand this might be our last an all right team of experts what do you think sandy well I said I thought McNally was in the picture great ballgame I'll be honest I don't think it's gonna be enough I think the great ball game probably won't do it I think Baltimore is believing in the Mets now and they're waiting for something to happen they're not going out trying to win they're wondering what's gonna happen to him now Mickey well it was two elevators here at the studio this morning when I came up and I was afraid to make a choice I'm gonna go down with the oh we may be back in Saturday from Baltimore maybe not Jim Simpson with Sandy Koufax and Mickey Mantle stay tuned now for the fifth game of the 1969 World Series [Music] and E stars with Ray Charles Cass Elliot and Creedence Clearwater Revival's Saturday night [Music] NBC

and Tony Kubek is roaming the stands as we'll give you today's coverage and of course rhubarb swirled late into the night last night and right up here until game time today first about the ejection of the manager of the Baltimore Orioles Earl Weaver the home plate umpire shag Crawford explained it an automatic expulsion where we were protesting a ball and strike and then on JC Martin's bunt running to first base he was struck to the left wrist pictures last night showed that he was running inside the foul line in fair territory we're going to rerun the play for you and show you the outcome of that play and Lindsey will explain the statement here made at 12:30 Eastern time by the home plate umpire Crawford and the Commissioner of baseball about the outcome of that decision they pitchers today Dave McNally has the job now of trying to send this series back to Baltimore and his Baltimore's last home McNally lost on Sunday two to one that Jerry Koosman the left-hander for Billings Montana who lives now Baltimore going all the way for the Mets Jerry Koosman who pitched a brilliant two hitter against Baltimore Sunday was finally relieved in the ninth inning he's coming back for the Mets today and we were talking to Brooks Robinson before the game and he said so far the Met pitchers have been the toughest set of pitchers on one staff that he or his teammates have ever hit again but now let's get into some of the key plays of yesterday and more pregame dope and here is Lindsey Nelson thank you very much Curt Goudy and hello again everybody as you know everything that happens in the World Series is magnified a thousandfold especially if it's a pivotal ballgame like yesterday's the Mets now have once they're in a commanding position but keep in mind last year at this same time the st. Louis Cardinals led the Detroit Tigers three games to one and Detroit won the world championship so now let's look at some of those plays that were roundly discussed all around the town last night it was Brooks Robinson up there with runners at first and third in the ninth the Mets were leading one nothing in Ron Swoboda comes over makes a diving catch call by many of the greatest defensive play of this World Series Robinson tagged and scored the tying run afterwards but he prevented Boog Powell at first from moving up and so it was a 1-1 ballgame in the bottom of the 10th and Jerry Grote's up to leadoff for the New York Mets gaudí lost the pop fly into medium left-field lost in the glare Buford stayed back and then made the charge forward but lander went back and says he did not touch them all as you see it fall there it went for two bases as it was recovered by Don Buford that was a leadoff double then for Jerry grote as he went sliding into second that became the winning run rod Gasper came in to run for grote al Weiss was up next and he was intentionally walked with first base open then Gil Hodges hit for Seaver he said JC Martin up and Pete Richert was brought in to pitch to it sacrifice he bunts the ball Hendricks the catcher says that he yell and he thought that he would make the play in the den of Shea Stadium Ricker said he didn't Europe watch him Dick's think thinking that he has waived off the pitcher reaches for the ball Rickard gets it first watch Mart now down the line as the throw is made he has hit on the left wrist he's clearly there inside as the ball bounced away off the left wrist of JC Martin onto the grass in short right the winning run scored as Gasper across the plate of the Mets won the ballgame by a score of 2 to 1 now there was a still picture that was being circulated at Prez headquarters last night it showed Martin to be in fair territory and the rule states of course that if he is hit in fair territory that is in at first he should have been called out Earl Weaver says he didn't see the picture till he got back to the hotel and wishes that he had never seen it the Commissioner made a statement saying that it is not an appeal play that it is simply a judgment call it says that he thought that at the moment that the ball hit JC Martin Martin's right foot was on the foul line which would make him in proper position those of the statements made at 12:30 by Crawford and the Commissioner now let's go downstairs to Tony Kubek Thank You Lindsay with me in the commissioners box Joe DiMaggio and the Commissioner of baseball Bowie Kuhn mr. Commissioner you had a tough statement to make this morning about the controversial play late in the ball game yesterday would you like to make it again well it wasn't too tough as far as I was concerned Tony I talked to the umpire shag Crawford on the throw by Rick at the first base and it was his judgment that the ball player going down the line Martin was permissibly within the running Lane and I've accepted his judgment that is the end of it Jodi you've seen such great feeling plays so far in this world series down in Baltimore up here in New York Shea Stadium you of course were part of that famous algee and frito catch you hit the ball are these toppers oh yes I do recall that when I hit Angie on frito catch but I'd have to say to the catcher dice are here here the day before yesterday and yesterday's catch we're about as fine as catches you want to see in World Series play particular one Swoboda made yesterday because that was the ballgame I didn't think he had a chance for that ball well you know it's the play where an outfielder doesn't even have a chance to think anything move now or he doesn't do it at all well that is true he had to die because there's no way he back enough to catch it on the hopper they got by him anyway slavery Jodi thank you so much mr.

walked back to the umpire and said do I have to use this and he said no so they exchanged it he said there wasn't much difference maybe no difference but he was surprised to find that it was an American League ball and he didn't know how it got in there here is a pitch in for a strike it's two strikes not a Robinson Joe Cronin's signature on one and Warren Giles on the other one that's this third Powell is on deck and Robinson is hit by the prow it's a foul ball [Laughter] [Laughter] Camero found the powerwall Robinson and Weaver are contended that he was hit by the pitch balls and
