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.

1:40:05
Reggie steps back into the box.
Got the new bat, don't forget.

1:40:08
And McGregor checks
the sign from home plate.

1:40:11
Here's the pitch. lnto the swing...
1:40:14
A long fly ball! Holy cow! That is gone!
1:40:16
(crowd cheering)
1:40:18
..to tie the Orioles two apiece
in the bottom of the fifth inning.

1:40:21
Reggie Jackson, who gets those
clutch home runs when you need 'em,...

1:40:25
..sure came through that time.
1:40:27
Holy cow! Unbelievable!
1:40:29
Over to Eyewitness reporter
John Jeffries,...

1:40:32
.. who has been covering this story.
1:40:34
Son of Sam struck last night
in Brooklyn for the first time.

1:40:37
l'm here in the predominantly black
neighbourhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant...

1:40:42
..in Brooklyn, New York,
to get a darker perspective.

1:40:47
- Ma'am.
- Yes?

1:40:49
l'm just hoping that they get him quick.
l don't care.

1:40:52
- Thank you.
- Thank you.

1:40:54
lt's terrible. Bad for Brooklyn,...
1:40:56
..bad for New York, bad for America
and bad for the world.

1:40:59
Thank you, sir.
