- Take it easy, you wanna break your leg?
- Come on, Bob. Its opening day.
:04:05
Hello, everybody.
This is Mel Allen with Phil Rizzuto...
:04:07
...coming to you live
from Yankee Stadium...
:04:09
...where we're about an hour away
from opening day of the 1961 season.
:04:13
Mel, I still get goose bumps out here,
even in a suit.
:04:16
Im sure.
:04:17
New Yankee skipper
Ralph Houk's got some team...
:04:20
...with Yogi,
and Elly Howard behind the plate...
:04:22
..."Chairman of the Board," Whitey Ford,
Moose Skowron at first.
:04:25
Up the middle is Richardson and Kubek
and "The Glove," Clete Boyer at third.
:04:29
Not to mention those bombers,
Roger Maris and the great Mickey Mantle.
:04:37
- How's this feel?
- It feels good.
:04:43
Baby. Good God.
:04:48
Whitey, look at that.
She likes to read to the blind.
:04:52
She's not your type, Slick.
:04:54
Yeah, I like women with small hands.
Makes my dick look bigger.
:04:57
Yeah, right.
:04:59
Mick, did you read
Sam Simon's column today?
:05:02
No, you know I don't read that shit.
:05:04
That son of a bitch has been after me
since day one.
:05:09
What's it say?
:05:10
I just wrote
he should be coming into his prime...
:05:12
...instead of two off years in a row.
:05:14
You're the owner.
You know what Im talking about.
:05:16
For Christ's sake,
he hit 40 home runs last season.
:05:19
Everyone else would kill
to have that kind of off year.
:05:22
Its amazing he can play,
considering the pain he's in.
:05:25
If he took better care of himself,
he wouldn't be injured so much.
:05:28
You should thank me
for leaving that out of the paper.
:05:42
- Mickey, how ya doin'?
- How ya doin'?
:05:45
Mick, you're in the cage.
:05:48
Opening day, big guy.
