:25:01
He took the fastball.
:25:06
How about that?
:25:09
I'd like you to come to Baltimore
if you could.
:25:12
I wish I could, but the kids have been sick.
I can't leave them.
:25:16
I know.
:25:17
Ill be able to see the game.
:25:19
How?
:25:20
One of the TV stations
arranged for me to see the game.
:25:23
Some kind of special hook-up
or something.
:25:26
Ill be the only one in Kansas City
to see you break the record.
:25:29
That's great, honey.
:25:33
Listen, if you could come
to New York next week...
:25:36
...you could stay through the Series
It'd be real nice.
:25:39
I don't know, the kids...
:25:43
I really need you there.
:25:48
You know, if you could try...
:25:51
Ill try, Roger.
:25:54
Do you promise?
:25:56
I promise.
:25:59
I've got to go. Talk to you soon.
I love you.
:26:03
I love you.
:26:04
Bye.
:26:13
Two home runs away,
how do you feel about that?
:26:16
As the Bronx Bombers
arrived today in Baltimore...
:26:18
...the country braces itself
for the showdown.
:26:21
No, it's not a showdown
about the Yankees and the Orioles...
:26:24
...but about one man versus history.
:26:27
And that man is Roger Maris.
:26:29
He comes into the game
with 58 home runs.
:26:31
Should I arrange for you
to go to Baltimore?
:26:33
Can he do it? All of America is watching.
:26:48
- So, Milt...
- Where the hell is Roger?
:26:50
I tried the hotel,
nobody knows where he is.
:26:52
- You promised me an exclusive.
- What you want? I don't know where he is.
:26:56
You know Im one of the few
that's defended him all year.
:26:58
Now he stands me up?
What's wrong with him?
