It's a chilly but bright, sunshiny day at Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, Minnesota.

Hi, everybody, Al Hill, we're here along with Monty Moore,

and we're getting ready to bring you to play-by-play account of the first game of a four-day-four-game afternoon series

with the Minnesota Twins, who, by the way, are doing quite well. In the Western Division of the American League, they're tied with the Chicago White Sox with six wins and four losses apiece and playing six hundred ball. So it's going to be the Minnesota Twins and the Oakland A's here this afternoon. For the Twins, it will be Dean Chance, the big right-hander getting getting his first start of the year. He has no record so far. It's not only five inings appearing in one ballgame. And going for the Oakland days will be Chuck Dapson, whose record is one and one. So those are the two pitchers who will be starting in this afternoon's ball game, and we'll have the starting lineups for you in just a moment.

Here is Len Randall, inviting you to live a little extra.

With a little extra, oh, Mr. Mileage Maker

Richly

When you go with the mileage maker,

It can be worth singing about. Atlantic Field, Richfield, Richfield Company.

We have told you the starting pitchers for this afternoon's ballgame,

being Dean Chance for the Minnesota Twins and Chuck Dobson for the Oakman days.

Right now, the umpires have made their appearances at home plate.

Hank Bowers brought out his starting lineup, and this is what it will look like.

Leading off will be Campanaris. He'll be at shortstop.

Heading in the number two position will be Tommy Reynolds, and he's been playing very well in the last couple of ball games. He'll be in left field. Reggie Jackson will be in right field. He'll be hitting number three in the order. Then comes Sal Bando. He'll be hitting in the number four slot and playing at third base. Heading in the number five position playing at first base will be Danny Kater.

Heading sixth, Dick Green will be at second base.

He'll be in center field.
