men's over the Bulls down welcome to the mood glad to be here this aren't you glad you're not pitching well I'll tell you what I used a little in my days and I'd pray like that wouldn't want to pitch on their like today two questions quickly John number one what do you think the Bulls will draft well I'll tell you what jackass an awful confusing a topic at this point of the year evidently a Los Angeles has come to terms with Magic Johnson that leaves a Larry Bird for us if Boston doesn't sign him but magic can't sign you know until draft and maybe Larry Bird comes out maybe I'll take him so it's a really confusing at this point you a few were drafting would you take one of those two four one definitely they're both going to be super ballpark there is a 6-3 put out as Jerry Martin leads off and it isn't very often that the first man up is going out but Martin did and that will leave up at that an homage to Barry foot alright secondly then John got to know who's going to win the NBA this year well I'll tell you Joe got at the beginning playoffs always kind of make a little prediction I picked Phoenix they had a chance to get in the finals earlier this week and didn't do it so the big game is tonight at 10:30 so we'll find out damn if my choice is right which one is that you mean Phoenix in Seattle play tonight and for the Western Conference Finals the Phoenix plays Washington you still like Phoenix I still like Phoenix all the way especially if truck Robinson continues to improve and he'll improve their rebounding a lot okay good luck John and welcome to Wrigley Field

uniforms are running around the bases first pitch is a ball to McBride swing ground ball base hit in the right field Espinosa will stop at second base that's the 18th year for Philadelphia McBride now three for four and let me tell you those batting averages will shoot up today runners on first and second nobody out here's bullet back he doubled in the first inning he singled in the third he singled in the fourth then on first and second the pitch popped up it could be trouble over Buckner's head the wind carries it in play it rocks in front of bay bounces away from him goes to the wall Espinosa will score as he comes around at buckler's draw hips past football Hernandez's air it's a double for boy here's the pop fly down the right-field line but that wind blowing out toward

as espinosa scores Rose batting right-handed runners on second and third nobody out as bill Cordell starts throwing in the cub bullpen strike called on ain't [Music] this game has a very fine chance

of Smit Randi's on the mouth texture others curveball caf-pow ball hit the bat twice and he was in the batter's box I thought the Cubs might be complaining earlier in his ballgame that Taylor was calling some pitches as Barry foot went up to the mound and talked with Hernandez and had a chat and when Mike Warrick came back he hollered something the Pete Rose at the plate that somebody's apt to get hurt as if you start calling pitches the pitchers can change this style somewhat and if you're looking for one pitch he can throw the other high outside ball four bases are loaded bases are loaded nobody out here's unser Roarke is coming out to have a chat with Hernandez [Music] six man the ban here in the dampening village sent ten men to the plate in the first 13 men to the plate in the third

in one ball game was in LA remember that and one in this reporters opinion left the ballpark at la savez ravine 1 & 2 pitch low to intuit geekman is concentrating now making McGraw throw a strike five runs in one out before he threw that screwball and it landed about 12 feet in front of plate he didn't want to tell that to Caitlyn if he did that's exactly what he was going to do with it the count

Cubs lineup has at least one hit including more the pitcher swinging a foul as Anna Varys is hanging tough at the plate one ball two strikes one out two minute first swing-and-a-miss at a low pitch and on averse stripes out so it's going to be up to Jerry Martin who just missed a home run in the fourth inning when he sent ghosts back deep with his back to the vines to grab his long fly ball had that fly ball been about 10 or 15 feet to the left a little bit out of the ballpark he's the ninth man to bat here for the Cubs in the fifth inning swinging afoul of the upper deck [Music] [Music] two outs now in the fifth inning five runs in for the cub the score Philadelphia 21 comes 14 and I'm not kidding if you just joined us and if you just joined us you've got a game left to watch we're only

left in the bleachers and it just hits into the corner about two rows up seven runs in in the fifth inning and here is Barry foot who started the city [Applause] man oh man what a game it is a game because we are in the bottom of the fifth inning well actually it isn't yet I guess insofar as rain lying dr parra bar down they left their line it goes into the corner very foot has to hustle to get a double so Barry foot gets his second hit of the inning a line drive double watch this ball just believed the reach of Smith at third base if we recall Smith made it exceptionally fine catch yesterday on almost the same shot but this one got by him for a double the Cubs now with 17 hits but let's talk about the runs 21 to 16 and here is Reed coming here the grass started this silly other leaves are proficient two-thirds coveting and here is big read now let me tell you it home across slams his glove down in that dugout quite upset but let me tell you these two men McGraw and Reid are the Aces of the Philadelphia bullpen so Ozark was not holding back even though he has 21 runs on the board he brought in McGraw lasted two-thirds of an inning [Music] and now here's Reed who has four victories one defeat earned run average listen to this 0.43 here's Osbourne back [Music] Jack just tells me that 49 is the total of runs scored by two ball clubs for a record when the Phillies lost to

quick to strikes quickly here on Sizemore foot is at second base seven runs in the cocktail hour will be late too many the solo giver up fall into the upper deck now ball through the middle Bowa has it all come up nicely for Bowa had that ball stayed to the ground it might have been a base hit you'll notice the thinnest ball at the last moment pops up watch this ball to the shortstop it pops up to him and he makes the play around knee-high that's what shortstops love to have is that ball pop up it's very difficult to reach down and get the ball because of the speed of the ball but it poses out the 5th inning 7 runs for it's one man left on base we move to the sixth inning of play it's 21 to 16 in favor of Philadelphia [Applause] we have two changes for the Cubs Dillard who pinched him will remain in the ball game and play second base so he will bat in the ninth spot and then Caudill is the new pitcher that's bill Cottle and he will bat in the eighth spot right-hander just recently recalled from Wichita swing and a Miss by McBride on the first pitch as McBride opens up the sixth inning there's a strike calm a good fastball over the outside corner two strikes swing and a Miss on

himself and the foul line in right field is a big get their ball one strike two now ball again ball one strike to Scott Thompson time to get on if he does to the base hit here that would make Buckner the tying run as he steps in it would make Kingman then the lead ride the scored ball one strike two blowing away with his fastball he poured a lot of coal on that one too and to the Cubs are two base

back realize the FMO chance decided to play it off the wall he did a very very intelligent thing he handled it beautifully now their Cup runners on first and third she baked here now here he is playing off the wall and the Haze's was also deployed a little on that one because McBride stopped and when he stopped the Haze's watching them had to wonder if maybe McBride was not in a position to catch the ball in which case of course Yvonne had to be ready to scamper back to first alright here's Buckner he is the tying run there's a well hit ball soon afield dropping in for sure where the for a while for second as he stepped up there up out there 2220 WGN television 9 Chicago's 5 o'clock or who could care less none of us here that bring Kenny Ozark out [Applause] lolly Eastwick is warming

home run earlier his only hit he thought of Kingman's in the fourth inning strike one [Applause] [Music] the tying runs are on bass ladies and gentlemen 22 to 20 there's a smash a backhand stop drop by the second baseman maoli he did recover it in time however the force Buckner but it was a it was it could have been one of two things it could have been either a double play ball or a base hit the way it sided out they only move over very well for it and did glove it then dropped it had he gloved it cleanly it could be a double play ball see this if he makes the fast throw to Bowa it's a double play ball as it is on a vs. on face on a fielder's choice Thompson is now on third base two out and the batter is Jerry Martin well I don't have to tell you that Jerry would like to make that trade pay off here there's a ground ball up the middle a base okay consul Jang is employed position very much that's just single constant across the plate moving on a barrister second the score is how Philadelphia 22 the Chicago table 21 [Applause] and Barry foot the catcher is up here's the guy who put the game out of reach in the opener with a grand slammer against his old teammates now let's see what happens go out there's the big swing foul ball strike one [Applause] oh what a nice long hit to do here you want to see bedlam and here it this is exactly what you'll get if this guy hits one here strike one that's too close rotifers [Applause] the base runner at first is Jerry Martin Steve on Tavares is on second he represents the tying run the ball game is in the bottom of the 8th inning 1 & 1 there's a ground ball [Applause] far look at that score and blink your eyes and if you don't believe it we can understand there's your scoreboard the Fillies 22 the Chicago Cubs 22 here's the run scoring asbury foot hits that ground single to left and Olivares races home with joey Amalfitano almost throwing his right arm out of joint waving them around and now ladies and gentlemen the batter is Bobby Mercer [Applause] two out and Mercer got a base hit the other time up if he duplicates it right now the Cubs could go out in front of this ballgame Gary Martin is on second this foot is on first Bobby Mercer to the batter two out bottom of the eighth inning 22 to 22 and that's high outside ball one I feel straightaway fairly deep right fielder McBride medium/deep the other tube roast announcer fairly deep ball one read throw that is a straight ball one strike one for sure not very happy with that don't forget you'll see it all on the extended 10 o'clock news tonight we will lengthen the news show will extend it in order to accommodate this one here's that last pitch alright ball one strike one [Applause] one on one the pitch low and away ball two strike one [Applause] well to strike one time no pick the cups of off hippies guy 26 to 23 [Applause] and the game is tied at 22 to 22 the most bizarre incredible game in years that is a ball ball free strike one to Mercer all right here's a tailor-made situation for some heroics for Bobby a guy like this loves this three in one situation ball three strike one Martin on second foot on first here it is thanks wangle he wanted that one so badly he could taste it he went for a high pitch ball three strike two if he lets have them done if the umpires on the stick he's on base for the walk but he doesn't want a walk he wants to hit that ball wall free strike two now what watch it there's a ground ball passing to the second baseman to play to first maiolica rows and that retires the side or the Chicago Cubs three runs five hits no errors two left and the score at the end of eight ladies and gentlemen with Bruce Sutter probably coming in now is Philadelphia 22 the Chicago Cubs 22 [Applause] we have a couple of changes now Bruce Souter is in and Scott Thompson stays in the ball game in center field in place of Jerry Martin which means of course that sooner we'll be in Martin spot in the batting order the purpose for that and the flip-flop is because Martin of course was one of the last three batters the Cubs had in the inning so their suitor [Applause] and the cub crowd really yelled for the hair shooters name [Applause] the batter is Bob Boone the ballgame is tied 22 to 22 if you just gotten home and you're looking at your television set and you see the superimposition of the scores there you promise into yourself I may have to call the television repairman and get the ghost fix on this television set because I'm seeing a 2 and a 2 and a 2 and a 2 when I should be just seeing 2 ball 2 strike 1 but ladies and gentlemen forget it that happens to be the score [Applause] the center he's given a new ball by the Cavanaugh Bob Boone is the batter then a great day with that bad a homer a single to double a couple of walks hit fine pitch ball once the record for the most hits by both clubs in a game there's a strike is 51 which also occurred in that Philadelphia Cup game back in August 25th 1922 was won by the cub with Philadelphia on Hinnom 26 to 25 well there have been 149 and this one there's a flyball centerfield hopson's there one alone that brings up gluten aioli looking ahead to the cup night Kelleher is due up first to be followed by the hey-zeus then Thompson there's Herman and peanuts they'll talk about this one for a while especially if they bail it out okay Kingman Thompson and Mercer and left center and right for the Cubs autumn Arastoo hey Zeus Kelleher Buckner the infield third to first battery suitor and foot and there's a strike strike one at the moment Bruce Souter is making his ninth appearance of the year he has six saves his earned run average is 0.6 Oh in 15 innings pitched his walk five struck out 17 that is a ball ball one strike one Bruce sidered and his famous split finger fastball one on one that's a little low ball to strike one well Lou Boudreau and Ray Mayer I know for sure both have personal appearances to make the knife but they're liable to be a trifle late ball two strike one one out high ball three strike one with the fastball at one point in this ball game the Phillies led 21 to nine that was after four and a half innings 21 to 9 they also a one-time lead 17 to 6 and there is a walk look out goodie me only cooks the walk now the pitcher Reid is due up who's going to bat McIver there's Tim McCarver very dangerous in the flood and that's what this is McIver caught yesterday in the last time up got a triple he's 1 for 3 in the series he also struck out twice peplum awful disease deficit inthere McCarver's hitting 185 for the year has four hits all year as I said one triple come on let's get a double play ball and put it away in the bottom of the night here we go now suitor facing macabre there goes the runners we're going to miss throat a second it's a stolen base I'm afraid the throw was high so me Olli steal second base the hit-and-run was on McCarver swung he missed may only kept coming got himself a stolen base and for Rudy that is not only his first stolen base this year it's the first time he's even tried to steal a base strike one well if the Cubs won this one we can throw away the scorecard on that Cincinnati 16 to 15 game of a couple of years ago there's foul ball oh and two the game is tied 22 to 22 [Music] well one of the troubles with walking that meolli was it now unless there's a double-play here something strange happens the top of the batting order gets a shot at it McBride and then if he gets a hit bullet oh and - so Bruce Sutter has the usual big responsibility [Applause] that is a ball ball one strike two [Music] ball one strike two the only on second hello wall to strike two that's the first time he's really come in low wall to strike two he was having trouble with that pitch being high the other night at Houston - strike - watch it there's a ground ball bouncing out now - Kelleher over to first alright that's two out on the plane well it takes three [Applause] I'm bake McBride is the better three hits four baked in six at-bats including a couple of strikeouts flyball to Center he started and finished at seven run first inning he

When you score 22 runs and still lose, Cubs life

I always wondered why my dad hated Mike Schmidt so much—guess this game didn’t help.

Also funny that they take their helmets off and just wear hats to run the bases. Never realized that. Anyone know when they stopped doing that??

This game is one of my earliest memories. 4 years old, outside of Par King Mini Golf in Lincolnshire, some storefront was selling TV's near there and had the game on. I can remember seeing the score somewhere in the teens for both teams...

This must have been a raw feed vs broadcast recording? I'm pretty sure there were basic TV graphics in '79.

My dad’s most hated player of all time is Mike Schmidt. He was also at this game. He’s the one in the bleachers wearing a Cubs hat.

Classic!
