Thanks, Joe. We're ready to go here at Candlestick Park in San Francisco.

And a beautiful baseball afternoon, as Joe told you, the temperature is 63 degrees at 11 o'clock this morning.

There's practically no wind at all right now, but the wind does come up here later in the afternoon.

That's one of the reasons for the 12 o'clock starting time here in San Francisco.

Here's all the Giants on the field, and you'll hear a tremendous roar from this crowd.

The National League champions San Francisco Giants are taking the field and a rousing ovation from a capacity crowd here in Candlestick Park.

Approximately 50,000 people greeted the Giants last night as they flew back from Los Angeles after winning the third game of the playoff against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

As Joe told you, the pitchers today will be two left-handers.

Billy Odell, pitching for the Giants.

Billy has won 19 and lost 14 this year.

And for the Yankees, it'll be Whitey Ford, their brilliant left-hander with a record of 17

wins and eight defeats.

The umpires today, Al Barlick of the National League will be behind the plate. Charlie Berry of the American

League will be at first base. Stan Landis of the National League will be down at second base.

Jim Honichick of the American League at third base. Ken Burkhart of the National League will be down

the left field line. And Hank Sawer of the American League will be down the left field line, and Hank Soar of the American

League will be down the right field line.

The Yankee bullpen is located down the right field line, and the giant bullpen down the left

field line, and this is a little bit strange, Joe, because the dugouts are just the opposite. Reason for that, George, is that the manager would like to look at his bullpen, and if they were the other way around from the giant dugout, you cannot see the right field line. Therefore, to take a good look at his bullpen, he puts the right and direct view, which would be in the opposite direction, down a left-field line. You take cr criss-cross thing. That's not good for the ballplay, because the ball players like to be in seclusion. I was wondering, but I can see now. That would be the reason. Here's the first pitch of the ball game to Tony Kuback. He fouls it back. One strike to the lead-off, man. Kuback's thehanded batterer. He has a 3-14 batting average.

Four home runs and 17 runs batted in.

Billy Odell getting ready.

Here's a one-strike pitch.
