Welcome to the fifth game of the 1967 World Series.

The St. Louis Cardinals have an edge of three games to one.

And the forecast this morning was again for a cloudy, cool weather.

But the weatherman was thrown another curveball today, as it turned out to be a very sunny and nice day.

Well, Peewee Reese, you've been through World Series competition before.

You know the task that's facing the Boston Red Sox today

and the pressure that they must feel,

knowing that they have got to win all the rest of the way

in order to become the champions while the cardinals

have a chance to finish it up at home so what is your reaction to this afternoon's game well

ken after talking to both the cardinals and the red sox the cardinals definitely have that old

momentum as we say they think they're going to finish it here today.

The Red Sox in the American League, no one gave a chance to win it.

They were 100 to 1 odds.

They came on to win it.

No one thought they could win that game on Saturday and Sunday up in Boston when they played the Minnesota Twins.

They won that.

Being down three games to one in the World Series history, only three other teams have come back to win the series.

If anyone can do it, Ken, I guess the Boston Red Sox can do it.

Well, we'll see what happens, and the burden will fall on the broad shoulders of a young man warming up down on the left field corner, Jim Lonborg, who will be opposed by Cardinal left-hander Steve Carlton.

And we'll tell you more about those young men in just a moment.

But first, we would like to mention that this broadcast is authorized under
