| 0:00.0 | Well, a gentleman to my right, with him I have worked in support Japan and on the World Series, is the voice of the Cincinnati Red. And his team is down three games to one, and obviously he's got some thoughts about that. Here's all Michael. Thank you, Jim, and I, everybody. And, of course, the Reds have their backs to the wall today. They need a win today, and then a win tomorrow if we go back to Cincinnati and a win again on |
| 0:21.9 | Sunday. |
| 0:22.5 | And game seven to take it all. |
| 0:24.2 | And they'd become one of the few teams in World Series history to do it if they could come back |
| 0:29.1 | from the three games to one deficit. |
| 0:31.1 | Just to review what's happened in the World Series so far, Saturday, game one at Cincinnati, |

| 1:12.1 | and then Raleigh Fingers came on to get the day. Final score was Oakland 2, Cincinnati |
| 1:17.1 | 1. Monday was a scheduled off day, Tuesday, of course. Game 3 was scheduled, and we were |
| 1:24.5 | right up until game time when it started to rain. The game was postponed because of wet grounds and game three was played on Wednesday night. |
| 1:32.5 | And the Reds picked up their only victory in the World Series, |
| 1:35.6 | scoring a run in the seventh inning, and back of Jack Billingham and Clay Carroll, |
