This is the number one sport station in the nation, KMPC Los Angeles.

First of all, the saving, let's find out about the angels.

Right now here's Dick Inver.

Opening night is a big game.

The angels host the Seattle Pilots as we begin this 1969 American League season.

Our guest is manager Bill Rigmy, and it was all too appropriate Riggs to just take your

starting lineup and perhaps a note or two about the players who will form your starting nine this evening.

Well, we're going to lead off tonight Dick with Bill Voss, who has had probably as good a spring as any player on our club.

He got the most hits on the club. He's a good spring as any player on our club he got the most hits on the club he's a good defensive player good runner and has a pretty good eye at the home plate as far as the strike zone he's going to be in right field he'll be leading off. Of course Jim Freggozzi will hit second for us.

And I know coming off last year, we're looking for great things from Jim this year, and as he is too.

He's probably in as good a shape as he's ever been in coming out of spring training.

So he's going to play shortstop and bat number two for us.

Jay Johnston is going to play center field tonight perhaps

mainly on the I guess the last couple of games as Jay's played

he hit the ball hard and it was either a question of either

Davaleo or he or repose or a combination of the two of the fourth and Vic went into a little bit of

a mix up and has been taking some extra hitting but Jay has had a hot bat so he'll be in center field hitting third for us.

Rick Reichhardt of course who's going to be one of the big guns for us we hope this year is being left field and we're looking for and I know

Rick is too for a better year than he had in 1968.

It might be the year when he's going to get it all done for us. And he has, as a fine of years he had last year,

we're certainly, I know he's looking forward to a better one

than this year.
