Here's Rob Peru, left-handed, hitting second baseman from Minnesota Twins, reading it off, hitting at 3.82. Wide open stance, likes to put on a lot, hits line drives through all field. Not necessarily a power hitter at all, but makes good contact. Say is in, swings on a first pitch, bounding to Morgan to second basin, as well as you're not easily, and Memphis Smith uses only one hits to get Rod Caru. She doesn't got that pitch in on Carreau. The Rue has the...

...was using an open stance that time more so than ever before. I suppose he was expecting Mrs. Smith to try to jam him with the ball. Which he did. Campi Cappanarris, right hand of hitting shortstop. Hitting a 279, two home runs, 27 RBIs.

And as Campi stepped in, 10 years ago today, July the 23rd, Campanarris, played in his first major league game ever.

Mrs. Smith ready?

Goes, and he swings at what looked to be a slider on the outside corner.

And in that first game, he faced Jim Cotton. And on the first pitch, he hit a home run. And later in the same game, he hit another home run. That was 10 years ago today in his first game ever. Now, tip to the plate and strike two to Campan Ellis. A real round at DeMorgan and short, and that's the only out of the ball game. When the top of the first, of course, there's no score.

Ed Bargo, down at second base from the National League,

John Kibler out at left here from the National League,

and behind the fed is Ed Seedoll in his third All-Star game, calling balls and strikes.

A one-and-two pitch from the right-hand of Messerschmith is up high and it's one ball, two strikes.

The last time a National League team lost a game in a National League ballpark in all-star play was in 1962, out in Wrigley Field in Chicago.

The American League won that one, that one, to four.

The one-two count.

He swings and misses and strikes out. See, I played in that game, Jim, and he really feel in 1962, right? That's the only one the last in the last year. Here's Reggie Jackson, nearly three and a half million votes. And who will ever forget, if you saw it on television, heard it on radio, or fortunate enough to see it in person, as Jackson gets a hand, that's a tremendous home run that he hit off Doc Ellis in Detroit of 1971.

That triggered the 6 to 4 win by the American League.

It was measured at 520 feet, had it not hit a light stanchion, it might have measured at 620 feet or more.

Jackson's big, strong, left-handed hitter, hitting a 318, 17 home run.

And takes a strike at the knees from Andy Messer-Smith.

Strike one.

Two-ups were the top of the first of the 45th annual All-Star game in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Reggie Jackson can hit the ball as far as anybody in baseball.

I suppose Willie Stodgildden probably has the most power, but Roger Jackson is right behind him. Messrs. Smith, next pitch is low and away. It's one ball, one strike. Whitey Herzog, California Angels coaching at third base, Jack McKeehan, the manager of the Kansas City Rolls at first base. Menses Smith's back back, and there's a foul out of play down the left field line, and it'll get well back into the seat. One ball, two strikes. So Messer Smith got Carrou on the first pitch, had Campan arrows down one and two before he struck him out, and now they had a Jackson. One ball, two strikes. The end of playing Jackson way around the pole of all the right field. SDP Lose, even Ron Ron Say at third base, way off the line. He should hit one down that left field line. It'd be double for sure, possibly a triple. Messerschmith's ready, and he comes back with the basketball. It has him swinging. Master Smith strikes on Cavalterners and Jackson. The tires are the card in order. A run, hit the Herrera. Not left. At the end the first half, any of play, there is no store. And now, Pete Pestle! By the bye! The month's serviceman and R&R had been taken by so-called fortune tellers, but authorities hadn't been able to make a case. That's when I was called in. Now dressed in a sergeant's uniform, I was about to have my fortune told by Mr. Memory.
