Good evening.

Good evening everybody from Yankee Stadium.

It's Yankee Baseball drive.

I'm Frank Musler along with Bill Rizzuto and Bill White.

On another, well, sort of a chilly evening with a breeze blowing toward right field.

And tonight the New York Yankees will try to get back on the winning track after losing last night's ball game to the Oakland A is in 12 innings by a score of 4 to 3 on a fin shit double by former

Yankee teammate Mike Higgins.

And Phil Rizzuto, I'd have to say tonight, the Yankees will certainly have their work cut out for them,

because they're going against Dennis McLean.

And even though McLean was a 22-game loser for the Washington Senators last year.

I've got to feel that with a winning ball club, a contending ball club, which Oakland is,

McLean will come back and very possibly reverse that one-loss record.

Well I'm sure you're right, Frank. I expect Denny McLean to have a big year this year.

He won his first start for Oakland. He said he didn't have his good stuff, but with that impeccable control that he has with a club like he has behind him.

He's going to be rough and as we look down his lifetime mark against the Yankees, he's 115 and lost 8. So as you say the

Yankees got their work cut out for them. One thing they know that he's around the

plate and he's a fellow like you don't have to worry too much about you can really dig in.

He's got good control and if it's not too good we might see a little extra hitting

that. That is probably the reason that McLean has in the past led the league in home runs given up by a fisher.

Absolutely, thanks. Same thing happened to Robin Roberts, who was a big winning pitcher, but yet year after year he'd lead the league in giving up all money.

Okay, Phil, we'll be back with the starting lineups right after this message.

During the next few weeks, you'll be hearing the three letters XBR often.
