The plate umpires, Bill McKinley of the American League.

Bill wins in the batter's box. Bob Gibson gets his sign.

From his catcher, Tim McClure, here is the first pitch of the ball game.

Outside, ball one. One ball, no strikes.

Yesterday's game won by the single-as card notes 9-5. Gibson delivers.

Pops out of the glove of McCarver. It's high, it's ball too.

Two goals and no strike.

It's kind of an overcast day. It was a bright, sunshiny morning.

It's become a little overcast, but it's great for the ballplayers.

No high sky. They shouldn't have too much of a problem with the sky,

maybe the breeze towards right field.

Lens takes it outside and it's ball three.

Three balls and no strikes on leadoff hitter Phil Lins.

Lins yesterday was 0 for 4.

Chokes up on that bat, takes a 3-0 pitch high, and he's on.

Lins draws the base on balls.

So the Yankees have a base runner at first base,

and it brings up Bobby Richardson.

Richardson?

A little right-hand hitter who can spray that ball.

He can hit that ball behind that runner.

They shade him towards right center field.
