Joe Cronin Ernie I'm speechless this is the terrific sherry I tell you and I know how you must feel after all being with Tigers day in and day out spring fitting on but it was a great thing for our great game of baseball mickey lowlich and all those Tigers is just a great credit to our game well thank you mr. Joe Cronin and Tiger organizations one of the top sensational thank you very much nice to have you with us and here's a young man named dick McAuliffe it's great to be with a world's champion I imagine the greatest feeling in the world we win this thing I was happy he's got he's got to buy it back from you right now well you get a little heckling for Bill Freehan let's get him up here and then somebody else can heckle him a little bit here's the fellow who sparked the Tigers throughout the year bill free any of them and here's a young man named dick McAuliffe well it's great to be with the world's champion I imagine the greatest feeling in the world Campbell's head and they stole it from a big night old man oh we win this thing I was at that he's got it he's gotta buy it back from you right now well you getting a little heckling for Bill Freehan let's get him up here and then somebody else can heckle him a little bit here's the fellow who sparked the Tigers throughout the year bill free and he had a little trouble with a bat right at first and then he got a couple of hits to help us along bill congratulations on being of the new world champion Thank You Ernie - Roy I thought maybe winning the pennant was the biggest show on life but I think me I know this is just beautiful I we've come back from behind all year and we did it again I never thought we could but we did and I don't know a lot of people must have been praying for us bill how did you feel about knowledge when he started did you think he had his stuff did you think you could last well I started to worry maybe in the middle innings it looked like he was getting a little tired but he's got a whole lot of guts and he just kept on fighting and fighting and fighting we finally got some runs off Gibson and he just got tougher after that mmm well he didn't have too many strikeouts going for him but he seemed to be putting the ball where he wanted to he was keeping the ball down low basically you didn't expect him to have super abilities today but he we talked before the game said you know we're gonna basically try to keep the ball down and and he did and got a guy's hit the good ball to ground at somebody and that's a secret in the game well thank you Bill Freehan and best of luck to you now we've got Jim Northrup and Jim you figured in the key play of the World Series I believe the three base hit that stored the two runs to put the Tigers on the lead you can see the replay now where Curt Flood comes in seems to trip and fall then the balls over his head and the runs come in and you get into third base and that was the key play did you feel like the ball was going to go a long ways when you hit it well Ernie I hit the ball real good I hit it hard not a line it was a little bit to the left center of blood and I didn't know for sure if it get over his head because I know he plays deep but I knew I'd hit it good it had a chance and when I see it go over zetas of the happiest person alive right then I am right now sir that's got to be even a bigger thrill than your grand slam home run of yesterday wasn't it sure is there any the biggest thrill I've ever had and it's the type of ballclub we've had all year we've been behind before and we keep coming back we don't ever give up and we proved it again today Jim what about the ball that the UN Horton converged on in the outfield it seemed to hit your glove and bounced away did did you have trouble a wave and Willie offer he have trouble waving you off for what happened on that I couldn't hear Willie and he couldn't hear me I was yelling all the way and I happened to pick him up just as I went for the ball and I didn't want to run over him so I tried to veer off and still catch the ball and hit in the end of my glove and drop so it was just one of those things where their card is yelling and you can't hear each other out there and I when I saw Willie I should have got another way but I didn't want to let it drop it with my fault and it wasn't there and I I thought I could get around him and catch the ball anyway but it doesn't matter now we want it well Jim northen when you came to the clubhouse today did you have the feeling that the Tigers would win this game I sure did Eddie Matthews and I were talking with our wives last night and I said Eddie I got a feeling we're gonna win a thing about it he says I do threes if I don't get a feeling very often but he says I got a feeling we're gonna beat him and I just had a good feeling that we were going to beat these guys and I'm off happy we did well thank you Jim let's talk to another Jim now to play a representative of the Tigers a fine catcher Jim price Thank You relations Thank You Ernie I I just like to express from the members of the team how grateful we are the people Detroit the state of Michigan for supporting this like they did we feel that they sort of pulled us together and we maybe helped pull them together a little bit well I think that's wonderful and I'm sure that it's true from both sides Jim Thank You Ernie it's all the guys after you do this and we're just we're just glad we wanted for them with the people around the country well it's nice that you come up here and we appreciate that comment and I know that the Tigers have a come behind team all the way and power congratulations and now let's go upstairs all right thank you and earlier I was talking about coming from behind the Tigers now to come the third team in the history of the World Series to come back from a three game 2-1 deficit the Pirates in 1925 came back to win after trailing three games to one the Yankees were trailing the Braves in 1958 and they came back from three games to one and when the Tigers were behind three to nothing in the first inning of Game five when they looked so bad against the Cardinals in their own ballpark in fact a few of their fans were even booing them Harry on Sunday in the rain had a comeback match the type of team it was they won over 40 games during the regular season behind from the seventh inning on well they to two champions hooked up here and Detroit now is the new champion Kurt and they've earned the title has been a great series they have power up and down their lineup and Lowell each of course is supreme I was interested in his winning the the sport magazine award for the outstanding player of the year of this series and he certainly was that although he wasn't alone there were many men Northrop and Kaline cash without too much publicity and you can't overlook the play of Stanley at shortstop for me that's the most remarkable thing in the World Series that a fellow is a great defensive centerfielder to move into shortstop at the start of a World Series with all that pressure and do the kind of job he did my hat is certainly off to Stanley and to the tiger all right Harry nice job thank you very much again and we'll see in spring training next year I hope so all right Jerry great telecaster of the cardinals incidentally i think probably the truest statement made before this series as it turned out a real prophet Mayo Smith who made all the right moves for the series when they asked if what would happen if the Tigers came down to Game seven and you had to face Bob Jeff's and he said well boys Gibson's a great great pitcher but he's still only a human being somedays got to be beat and as it turned out the Tigers did finally beating that play will be talked about for years I'd be anxious to talk to Curt Flood to see if he did misjudge the ball in center or did he's stumbling and catching his spikes allowed north of Drive to say all over him in centerfield but you'll be about that after the game so the Tigers win the World Series lowly twins his third game of the series he beats Gibson here today and the final score was Detroit 4 and st. Louis was the seventh game of this 1968 world series has been brought to you by [Applause] Chrysler Canada Limited and the judge twineth roots and simca dealers whose held the quality engineered cars unclutched by Chrysler by Gillette makers of new right guard antiperspirant in the silver can by the more than thirteen hundred and fifty branches in Canada of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce [Music]
