Hi, everybody. This is Dr. Rizzuto, along with Frank Messer and Bill White, here at RFK Stadium in the nation's capital, Washington, D.C.

And this figure to be quite a night. Could be one of the fastest games ever pitched with Britt Friedson and Denny McLean. Both waste no time. Both have excellent control. Of course, the hitters might have something to say about that. But it's a beautiful night here in the nation's capital, and we'll be ready for the start of tonight's game in just normal. Well, as you know, on Tuesday afternoon, at 2 p.m. April of 13th, the Yankees launched the home season with the Tigers. Kids,

that'll be Easter vacation week for many of you. So once you get dead and the gang together,

and be on hand to root for the Yankees in the big home home. Good seats are available now at the

Yankee Stadium Advanced Ticket Office, at the Yankee Ticketron office on the Messinae

of Grand Central Terminal, and at Tickertron

outlets all over the metropolitan area, and of course by mayor. And speaking of the Yankee

opener on Tuesday, April 13th, that entire week will be spring vacation for most New York

area students. So the Yankees have arranged to play all of their opening series with Detroit as afternoon games.

Perfect chance, beyond fans, to start the season right.

At Yankee Stadium for the great series between the 1971 contending bombers and the Detroit Tigers.

That's Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons, April 13th, 14th, and 50.

Well, here the starting lineup for the night's game for the New York Yankees.

Horace Clark leads off at second base.

Catching and batting second, Sherman Munson.

Roy White will be in left field, hitting third.

In center field, batting cleanup, Bobby Mercer.

Danny Cater at first base batting fifth.

The right fielder, batting sixth, Jimmy Lytle.

Jerry Kenny will be at third base batting seventh,

the shortstop hitting eight Gene Michael, and Chris Peterson, pitching and batting night.

And for the Washington senators who won their opening game, right here in the nation's capital,
