1:38:00
Get your hands off him!
l'll fire your ass!
1:38:02
(man) M-U...
1:38:06
..R-D...
1:38:10
..E-R.
1:38:13
Murder.
1:38:14
(radio commentator)
Welcome to another ballgame...
1:38:17
.. with the Yankees and the Orioles
at Yankee Stadium.
1:38:20
l know everybody's been complaining
about the heat, and it has been brutal.
1:38:25
So we've got the peftect setting...
1:38:27
..for a ballgame, and it's gonna be
a very exciting game, as it usually is,...
1:38:31
..and especially
with Scotty McGregor and Ron Guidry.
1:38:35
Guidry has more stuff than McGregor,...
1:38:37
..but McGregor gives the Yankees a hard
time when he's pitching, as he is today.
1:38:42
Coming to the plate, Reggie Jackson,
who's been struggling as of late.
1:38:45
Reggie steps into the batter's box,...
1:38:48
..taps the plate,
and he does look determined.
1:38:51
So Scotty McGregor steps off the mound,
gets back on.
1:38:55
Here's the pitch.
Strike one for number .
1:38:58
Reggie has had a lot ofproblems
with Billy Martin all year.
1:39:01
He's in Martin's doghouse. Martin yells
at him but Reggie doesn't look at him.
1:39:06
They've had their problems,
but they get over it...
1:39:09
(dog barking)
1:39:10
Reggie steps back into the box.
1:39:12
Here's the pitch...
1:39:14
(woman screams)
1:39:17
Reggie looks for the sign
from third base coach Dick Howser...
1:39:20
..then steps back into the box,
and number is ready...
1:39:25
Help!
1:39:27
Reggie swings,
hits a foul ball back into the seats.
1:39:30
And it looks like he split that bat...
1:39:32
..and he's gotta walk back
and get another bat.
1:39:35
While he's doing that, you know
what's happening in New York lately.
1:39:38
Abe Beame, who was my teacher
in Richmond Hill High School,...
1:39:42
..the mayor of New York,
is really having his problems with the...
1:39:46
..the Son of Sam's murders
that are happening...
1:39:49
..up in the Bronx, by the way.
1:39:51
l want all you people to be careful when
you go out for a little spooning at night.
1:39:55
All right, back to the ballgame.
1:39:57
The Yankees have been in a slump lately.
1:39:59
Reggie needs one of those long balls
to get them out of it if he possibly can.
