Here's another example of memories of the Kansas City Athletics.

The date is July 17, 1966.

It's game one of a double header, and the Red Sox with Raleigh Sheldon are visiting Municipal Stadium.

Jim Nash is on the mound for the athletics. We offer 80 minutes

of Kansas City memories called by Monti Moore and Lynn Ferris. 80 minutes that create smiles

on the faces of A's fans.

This selection covers the bottom of the fifth through the bottom of the eighth.

The selection is on one standard audio cassette with very good clarity.

Over on number 27 of the year for the Atlanta Braves. Game in the sevens with a man on, and Atlanta will be leading by at least seven to four, and they're ballgame against Cincinnati. We're ready to go in the bottom half of the fifth, and they're taking through the rest of the action. Here's Monty Moore. Glad is knocked down the only Kansas City round of the afternoon. He did it with a hit and run double to right center field back in the second inning.

Raleigh Sheldon's been extremely sharp here this afternoon with his breaking ball.

He's had a fine slider, a good down-breaking curveball.

Raleigh always has fine control.

He has walked only one batter this afternoon.

Big right-handle winds and fires the roof.

Misses high at all-won.

Roof started this afternoon's double-hender batting 2.25.

He has knocked in 25 runs for Kansas City.

Here, Sheldon's 1-0-Bitch. Boun bouncing ball on the left side of the infield, cut off by

Poy the third baseman, he throws the scott, there's one away.

The athletics have not hit that ball well at all to the last three innings. Sheldon has been getting stronger and stronger. Here's a eight-picker Jim Nash. Game is all tied up one-in-one, the Red Sun. Bion Shurtsin, Shorkev, Rico Petricelli. Ficked on a change-up thrown by Nash and hit it over the left field fence here in Kansas City,

and that is quite a well-earned home run.

If you can hit a change-up out of this ballpark, you've provided all the bar.
