21 game winner for the open A has not yet begun to warm up. Well, he's got any hockey, but it's not all over yet because he's got possibly six four games to go. But he is the voice for the Oakland Athletics. The only do leave the red one game to none. That's gone in Monty Moore. Thank you very much, Jim Simpson, and hello once again, everybody. Certainly, there's an understatement to mention the fact that the open days are not overconfident to win the world series but they do certainly feel a lot better at this time than they did yesterday they were decided underdogs and to come out and win the first game here on the road and the world series meant a lot to this ballcliff

on the field now is one of the great men of our perspective.

Sports announcer Redd at Barber.

And Red has been assigned the duties of them seeing a very special presentation this afternoon

that were involved many names, men that you know, honoring the first black athletes in Major League Baseball 25 years ago.

Red Barber at one time was the voice of the Cincinnati Red.

But I'm sure you also know that he had great prominence in fame as the voice of the Brooklyn Dodgers

on the sunny but cool day in Cincinnati, and Red is down there now awaiting the signals

that he is to begin the ceremony.

of all times, the old Reddardt, Walker, Red Barber.

Friends, welcome to the second game of the 1972 World Series. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the entry of the black athletes into Major League Baseball.

Today we are about to honor the man Branch Brick is selected to lead the way,

who set a brilliant example for all to follow.

He is Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson.

And first, I'd like to have you meet one of the greatest short-claps of all time,

and the team captain during Josh's 10 superpollitive seasons with the Brooklyn Dodgers, Harold Hewee, Reese.

And here is the first black man to play in the American League.

He had an outstanding career, mostly with the Cleveland Indians,

beginning in the summer of 1947.
