| 0:14.8 | Game 7 of the World Series, there have been including regular season, league division series, league championship |
| 0:23.6 | series, and now the fall classic. This is baseball game number 4,891. It's all come down to one ballgame, Ron. |
| 0:34.6 | Well, both teams ready. Got to see the cubs earlier today on the team bus and the |
