Good afternoon everybody this is way hoi welcoming you to Yankee Stadium and the first game of the

1961 world series

Maker of the 195 adjustable races and the remarkable super blue

blade that gives all but unbelievable shaving comfort.

Only the dream of all instant ladders.

And right guard the new power spray deodorance for man.

And Chrysler Corporation, where engineering put something extra into every car.

Chrysler Corporation with the live new cars for 62.

For your listening pleasure, Gillette and Chrysler will also bring you exclusively on NBC radio

the 1962 Rose Bowl game. In this way these great companies wish to

thank you for your support. Here today at Yankee Stadium in New York City is the World Series. Baseball at its finest.

Yes, indeed, the big news of the day here at Yankee Stadium is the fact that Mickey Mantle will not be in the

starting lineup for the New York Yankees Mickey Mantle of course has suffered that

access he had a slight operation, antibiotics were administered,

and Mickey Mantle has been on the par for almost a week. And so they thought it best that Mickey do not start today. He may

start at another time and of course he will be available for pinch hitting duty.

And of course when you take out of the ball game a fellow who is batting

three 17 with 54 home runs and 128 runs

batted in you can see how seriously you might I might say

and pair your batting strength and of course your general morale in your

ballpark however that may not be too great in some ways as the Yankees are

reputed to be very strong in bench reserve.
