As Paul Moscow allusions up with Johnny Bench, Joe, I'd be interested in getting your reaction to that report concerning Billy Martin.

Well, it's really unofficially been confirmed, and when I say that, a young man from the booth next door came in to tell us that it was, it is a true story.

But still, I like to see the real official report, but you have to feel it is still coming out of New York.

And when you think of Billy Martin coming back in 80, 1980, you have to feel that on Reggie Jackson

will not be there when Billy Martin returns, without a doubt.

And there might be some other people missing when Bill returns also.

I know Sherman Munchin, who, in my opinion, the heck of a dime, of course, we've been around

him on certain occasions, and I have a lot of respect to the term, but he's often said he would like to get back near his home at Ken, Ohio, and that will be with a Cleveland Indian. So it should be quite interesting the rest of this year and next year to see what changes are made in the Yankees system to accommodate Billy Martin as they're

managed to again. That's really kind of a shocking announcement, I guess, when you think about

it after we were there and read all the reports to Vodgill. Well, we're ready to go as

Paul Moscow delivers to Gary Maddox in the first pitch of foul back and out of play, and this game is underway.

Well, you talk about the announcement. Of course, there are rumors running rampant around New York that Reggie Jackson is going to be gone from that ball

before the weekend is out.

Let's go back with the O-1 pitch. Maddox takes it high and inside for a ball. They're rumoring Jackson to be going to California for pitcher Chris Knapp and some other people involved in the trade, but nothing official has been announced on that.

Here's another foul back that climbs up into the red seat.

The upper deck off to our right as Moscow gets out in front of Gary Maddox at one ball and two strikes.

Are you look at umpires throwing the ball back to the picture and

see this, say this about Jerry Crossers.

He's got a terrible delivery.

One two pitch is one out and miss.

Good fastball down and away to get Gary Maddox who's not having a real good time of it hitting wise here in Cincinnati

That'll bring up shortstop Larry Boa and maybe as bad as Maddox has been going here boys been going just as well
