The Detroit baseball fans here as well as all baseball fans around the country get an additional thrill out of the presence of an outstanding former tiger player, Charlie Garinger, who had the pleasure of throwing out the first ball to catch a bill freehand of the tigers.

Seewey as a former infielder, I know that you appreciated the greatness of Garinger.

I certainly did, Jack, there go, the Tigers taking the field. This game is about ready to start. I had the pleasure of playing against Charlie Geringer a few times in spring training, and what a ball player he was. Let's skip over these batting waters quickly once again for you. For the Cardinals, it's Brock, Blood and Maris, Sepeda, McCarver, and Shannon,

Alvier, Maxville, and Washburn. And for the Tigers, McCallup, Stanley, and Keline, Cash, Horton,

and Norfram, Prehan, Wirt, and Wilson. The Tigers have taken the field defensively. They have

a battery of Earl Wilson and Bill Prehan.

Don Wirt is at third base. Mickey Stanley is at short, looking up, checking the sun right now.

Dick McCallup at second base and Norm Cash at first.

Around the outfield, Willie Horton in left. The center fielder is Jim Northrop, and the right fielder is Al Keline.

Joe Schultz is at third base doing the coaching

for the Cardinals and Dick Sistler is at first. The umpire. Stan Landis of the National League

is working behind the plate. At first base, Bill Keneman of the American League, Doug Harvey of the

National League at second base, and Bill Heller at third base.

He's from the American League.

Along the left field foul line, Tom Gorman, he worked the plate in the opening game of the series,

and Jim Honnichick of the American League is in the right field corner,

and we're all set for the afternoon of baseball in the third game of the 1968 World Series.

I took an unofficial poll before the game, Pee,

and talking to most everybody I could,

and I propose that the team that won this game would win the World Series.

And I would say that about 70% of the people said yes.

How about you?
