:44:00
That's where the outfield used to play me.
:44:10
- Hit now, Rog!
- He always hits good against this guy.
:44:13
Knock one outta here!
:44:14
Get some wood!
:44:15
Roger hasn't had one in a week
and I know he'd love to get one here.
:44:20
Here comes the pitch, Phil.
:44:22
Bunts. Holy cow, squeeze playl
:44:25
Richardson digging for home,
Maris going to first, Richardson's safe.
:44:28
Safe!
:44:31
Yanks take the lead, 2 to 1. Holy cowl
:44:35
- Perfect placement, that's a player.
- MVP: Most Valuable Player.
:44:42
They were playin' me deep,
we needed that run.
:44:45
They don't pay you to bunt.
:44:46
They pay me to help the team win.
That's what I did.
:44:49
Mickey's ahead, 43-41,
you haven't had a home run in a week.
:44:52
You're falling behind Ruth's pace. Is the
pressure gettin' to you? Feeling gun-shy?
:44:56
I strike out,
you say Im swingin' for the fences.
:44:59
- I bunt, you say Im afraid of a home run.
- You're only a game up on the Tigers.
:45:03
Shouldn't you forget the record
and focus on the pennant?
:45:05
Im doing that.
:45:06
- You see the Sporting News poll?
- I don't read the papers.
:45:09
It says 80 percent of the fans
are rooting for Mickey.
:45:12
- 80 percent. I guess that seems right.
- Why is that?
:45:16
I don't know,
maybe Im not a New York kinda guy.
:45:18
Im just some dumb redneck
from North Dakota.
:45:20
- You think that's what the fans think?
- Shit, I don't know how they see me.
:45:25
- Could you help me out here?
- What's going on here, Milt?
:45:28
Wild dogs.
:45:31
- All right, that's it for tonight.
- We have a job to do!
:45:34
This kid's a little full of himself, Ralph!
:45:39
"I'm just some dumb redneck
from North Dakota."
:45:41
"Shit, I don't know how they see me."
:45:43
"I'm just not a New York kinda guy."
:45:45
Why don't you go back home
where you belong!
:45:47
Nobody wants you here!
You hick, get outta here!
:45:50
This is the Bronx. This is Mickey's town!
:45:53
There it is, No. 45, Roger Marisl
:45:56
They're lettin' him have it
here at Griffith Park.
:45:58
Roger Maris, with his 45th home run,
drawing a lot of boos.
