From Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, the sixth game of the 1960 World Series,

the New York Yankees versus the Pittsburgh Pirates.

It's brought to you today by General Motors and by the Gillette Safety Razor Company.

It's game number six of the 1960 World Series, and this is Jack Quinlan,

along with Chuck Thompson back here in Pittsburgh at the home of the Pir World Series, and this is Jack Quinlan, along with Chuck Thompson, back here in

Pittsburgh, at the home of the Pirates, Forbes Field. This is where this thrilling show began

one week ago today, and now, a week later, the Pirates lead the New York Yankees in the series

three games to two. Today, the Pirates are sending right-hander Bob Friend to the mound in an effort to close out the series

and raise the first World's Championship flag over Forbes Field since way back in 1925.

The bucks are only one game away from the glory and the gold, although not necessarily in that order,

since Whitey pitched the only shutout of the series.

Last Saturday in New York Yankee Stadium,

There were others, however,

who figured that Turley had a better chance of squaring the series

for the bombers today.
