Home plate now of Bill Verdon has the Yankee lineup and Earl Weaver has the Oriole lineup.

They're going over the ground rules now with the home plate umpire Jim Odom.

It's like Bill Deegan will be at first base.

Dave Phillips down at second and Lou Jimuro at third base.

Of course Weaver wants to get all of these ground rules.

Any new ones since they've been here last?

This is a big series for Baltimore and a big series of the Yankees.

Yankees, as of now, two and a half games up over the Baltimore Orioles.

The Yankees have 15 games left to play.

Baltimore 14.

Also in the race, the Boston Red Sox there are three

and a half games out and they have 16 games left to play the Tigers side that ball

came up in Boston Tigers to Boston two Boston batting in the bottom half the second inning.

Over the night's lead, the Cubs lead to Phillies won nothing after once.

But the big score, Detroit 2, Boston 2 after 1 and a half.

Looking at the American League West, the Oakland A's have a five-game lead over Texas,

eight-and-a-half over Minnesota, and Frank Willissey has been given a new contract by the Minnesota Twins.

The Cardinals are a game of a half lead over Pittsburgh, six over Philadelphia, a nice league east.

And the nice league west that dodgers a two and a half game lead

over Cincinnati.

Listen to these fans

here, Shay.
