And that sets the stage for another one of America's premier sporting events, the World Series 1974.

And it is my pleasure to work once again for the third year in our home with one of America's outstanding sports broadcasters who are the most personal in our field.

And I'm happy to say a good friend of mine, Jim Simpson of NBC.

Thank you, Marty Moore. Kathy Campanarris will step in, had his greatest season with the bat, hitting 290. During the regular season for the open age, facing Andy Messismith. So as Monty said, is 120 lost 6, and has not lost since the 2nd of September. In his last 7 start, he has a 5-0 record, a, a couple of no decisions. And on the first pitch, Campanarras, broke to the front. And take for a ball one. Campanarras, like North behind him, Ken Ron, will try to get his way on base anyway, Ken Ron say, knowing that, is in on the home place side of third base, breaking in as Campanarras this time this time it's a tall strike from Messerschmith.

Messerschmith, a good fastball slider pitcher with one of the great changes in all the baseball.

Gene Mark of the Montreal Expo said one time,

Messon Smith's the only man he's seen that could overpower ball club with a change up.

One ball, one strike. The lead off better at Campanarras. Right-handed batter. Smith's the only man he's team that could overpower ball club with a change up.

One ball, one strike.

Delete off better, camp and errors.

Right-handed batter.

Drills this one for the center field.

Jimmy wins going back near the warning pack and reaches up at the warning pack.

About 370 feet away and takes the long drive before camp at error. That's the one that's got to pitch up the cap and errors who drilled it to the warning factory 380 feet away.

Bill North, hitting a 26th, another speedster, 54 stolen bases.

To leave the American League in stolen bases.

Last year, he was injured for the last three weeks and lost the stolenbased title by one, the Tommy Hopper of Boston.

The first All-California World Series in history. The Dodgers came out here in the late 50s.

The Okinae's, of course, moved out from Kansas City. In on the grass, you say, as North takes

inside for ball one. When the top of the first, the weather is absolutely perfect, the temperature expected to be about 73 is a high this afternoon. The one ball one. When the top of the first, the weather is absolutely perfect. The deficit is expected to be about 73 as a high this afternoon. The one ball pitch is the strike right down in the middle. One ball, one strike. North taking all the way and now turns around. The talk to umpire Tom Gorman behind the place. Gorman is the senior member of the umpiring staff. This is his fifth World Series. Back again with a low pitch from Mesa Smith and it's two and long. Say continues to hang on the edge of the grass at third base, anticipating the possible punch by north. North is switch hitter. Garvey playing back at first base. 20 minutes, and it's two and defensively Garvey's at first, lokes at second, rustled to shortstop, say at third. Buckingrad and left, two and two. Defensively, garbage at first, moats at second, rough-cold the shortstop,

stay at third.

Buckner out and left, win in center. Ferguson is right, Gager, calling the pitches behind the place. The 20-game winner, Andy Messerschp. Fowl off and up, and out of play off to the left. Got remains two balls, two strikes to north, the second batter in the 1974 World Series.
