01:31:52,599 --> 01:31:55,050 -: Dave Anderson of the New York Times 2425 01:31:55,050 --> 01:31:56,340 comes in into interview me. 2426 01:31:56,340 --> 01:31:58,237 One question he asked me then, 2427 01:31:58,237 --> 01:32:00,300 "You ever think you'd be sitting here? 2428 01:32:00,300 --> 01:32:02,830 World Series, going up 3-2." 2429 01:32:02,830 --> 01:32:04,418 Bob: The pitch to Ken is swung on, 2430 01:32:04,418 --> 01:32:06,089 a fly ball to left field. 2431 01:32:06,089 --> 01:32:08,669 Coming up for it is Oglivie, he's got it! 2432 01:32:08,669 --> 01:32:13,669 (crowd cheers)

01:32:47,010 We had Sutton and Vukie ready, no Rollie. 2442 01:32:47,010 --> 01:32:48,570 -: We go in there up three games to two, 2443 01:32:48,570 --> 01:32:50,820 hoping that we can win one ball game out of two. 2444 01:32:50,820 --> 01:32:53,010 -: At least now we knew the ballpark. 2445 01:32:53,010 --> 01:32:55,906 Obviously had a much better feel for their players. 2446 01:32:55,906 --> 01:33:00,060 (upbeat rock music fades) 2447 01:33:00,060 --> 01:33:03,663 -: When we got back to St. Louis leading three games to two, 2448 01:33:04,620 --> 01:33:08,070 I was convinced, absolutely positive, we were gonna win, 2449 01:33:08,070 --> 01:33:10,134 'cause we're gonna win one of these two games. 2450 01:33:10,134 --> 01:33:13,134 (tense synth music) 2451 01:33:14,880 --> 01:33:17,790 -: Game six was that huge rain delay. 2452 01:33:17,790 --> 01:33:19,350 Bob: The heavy rains have come again. 2453 01:33:19,350 --> 01:33:21,780 It is blowing very, very hard. 2454 01:33:21,780 --> 01:33:23,310 Speaker: And that idiot commissioner 2455 01:33:23,310 --> 01:33:24,540 wouldn't call the game. 2456 01:33:24,540 --> 01:33:26,977 Bob: With the Cardinals leading by a score 2457 01:33:26,977 --> 01:33:29,250 of 8 to 0 here in the sixth inning, 2458 01:33:29,250 --> 01:33:31,590 the rains are very, very heavy. 2459 01:33:31,590 --> 01:33:34,850 -: We're sitting and waiting and waiting and waiting. 2460 01:33:34,850 --> 01:33:36,030 -: When you go back and look at the history 2461 01:33:36,030 --> 01:33:38,100 of the World Series, every game has been played 2462 01:33:38,100 --> 01:33:40,350 to a nine inning or more decision. 2463 01:33:40,350 --> 01:33:42,120 -: We sat there and played cards. 2464 01:33:42,120 --> 01:33:43,680 That's all you could do. 2465 01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:44,910 -: It was ridiculous. 2466 01:33:44,910 --> 01:33:46,710 -: Will we play ball, if necessary, 2467 01:33:46,710 --> 01:33:48,330 at 2:30, 3:30 in the morning? 2468 01:33:48,330 --> 01:33:49,410 -: Without any question. 2469 01:33:49,410 --> 01:33:52,470 -: And we keep thinking it's gonna get called off. 2470 01:33:52,470 --> 01:33:54,390 It's so wet right now that there's no way, I think, 2471 01:33:54,390 --> 01:33:55,890 that, you know, we can play this game. 2472 01:33:55,890 --> 01:33:57,120 They had AstroTurf there, 2473 01:33:57,120 --> 01:33:59,100 and wet AstroTurf is a little challenging. 2474 01:33:59,100 --> 01:34:01,770 The ball skids, and it's not any fun to play on. 2475 01:34:01,770 --> 01:34:02,670 But that's no excuse. 2476 01:34:02,670 --> 01:34:05,220 We got it handed to us. 2477 01:34:05,220 --> 01:34:07,710 -: By the time we came back out to finish the game, 2478 01:34:07,710 --> 01:34:09,360 it had been decided. 2479 01:34:09,360 --> 01:34:12,370 Bob: And St. Louis wins it by a score of 13 to 1. 2480 01:34:13,767 --> 01:34:15,270 -: So, why not? 2481 01:34:15,270 --> 01:34:17,220 Let's go to a game seven. 2482 01:34:17,220 --> 01:34:18,855 -: I'm not really writing a script for it, 2483 01:34:18,855 --> 01:34:23,250 but yet it seems like we get in this type of a situation 2484 01:34:23,250 --> 01:34:24,360 and we always come out on top, 2485 01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:26,465 and I've got all the conference in the world in those guys 2486 01:34:26,465 --> 01:34:28,170 that they're gonna come out on top tomorrow again. 2487 01:34:28,170 --> 01:34:30,720 -: We expected to win game seven. 2488 01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:32,460 We had just done it. 2489 01:34:32,460 --> 01:34:35,880 We had just won a do or die game 2490 01:34:35,880 --> 01:34:38,640 a few weeks earlier in Baltimore. 2491 01:34:38,640 --> 01:34:42,390 We had just won three straight do or die games 2492 01:34:42,390 --> 01:34:44,760 at home against the Angels. 2493 01:34:44,760 --> 01:34:47,580 All games you had to win or you go home. 2494 01:34:47,580 --> 01:34:49,680 It's just another one of those. 2495 01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:51,750 -: Now it culminates into one game 2496 01:34:51,750 --> 01:34:53,400 for baseball's championship. 2497 01:34:53,400 --> 01:34:54,930 The starting pitchers? 2498 01:34:54,930 --> 01:34:56,153 Pete Vuckovich for Milwaukee, 2499 01:34:56,153 --> 01:34:59,343 Joaquín Andújar for the St. Louis Cardinals. 2500 01:35:00,592 --> 01:35:03,210 (tense music) 2501 01:35:03,210 --> 01:35:04,410 -: Vuke was out there, 2502 01:35:04,410 --> 01:35:06,060 but he probably shouldn't have been, physically. 2503 01:35:06,060 --> 01:35:07,920 -: We all know about the courage of Vuckovich. 2504 01:35:07,920 --> 01:35:09,330 Should be quite a night. 2505 01:35:09,330 --> 01:35:11,940 They're ready here in St. Louis for game seven. 2506 01:35:11,940 --> 01:35:13,323 It's showdown time. 2507 01:35:14,730 --> 01:35:16,110 Speaker: Pete is a competitor. 2508 01:35:16,110 --> 01:35:18,210 -: He was out there on just pure guts. 2509 01:35:18,210 --> 01:35:20,220 Bob: The Brewers went quietly in their half 2510 01:35:20,220 --> 01:35:21,660 of the first inning. 2511 01:35:21,660 --> 01:35:22,493 Vuckovich delivers. 2512 01:35:22,493 --> 01:35:23,326 Strike one. 2513 01:35:23,326 --> 01:35:25,530 The pitch, off speed, a swing and a miss. 2514 01:35:25,530 --> 01:35:28,320 The two strike delivery, strike three called! 2515 01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:30,210 -: I know what kind of stuff I had during the World Series. 2516 01:35:30,210 --> 01:35:31,410 It wasn't very good. 2517 01:35:31,410 --> 01:35:32,820 I was making it do different things, 2518 01:35:32,820 --> 01:35:36,198 but it wasn't first class good stuff, you know? 2519 01:35:36,198 --> 01:35:38,056 Bob: Hit in the air to right. 2520 01:35:38,056 --> 01:35:39,417 And the inning is over. 2521 01:35:39,417 --> 01:35:43,069 So Vuckovich works out of it with no further damage. 2522 01:35:43,069 --> 01:35:44,100 (tense music) 2523 01:35:44,100 --> 01:35:47,067 Milwaukee no runs, two hits, 2524 01:35:47,067 --> 01:35:48,810 1-0 Cardinals in the fifth inning. 2525 01:35:48,810 --> 01:35:50,940 Now, let's see about Milwaukee. 2526 01:35:50,940 --> 01:35:52,920 Commentator: Oglivie, fairly quiet series. 2527 01:35:52,920 --> 01:35:56,016 Only five hits and no RBIs. 2528 01:35:56,016 --> 01:35:57,540 -: Come on, Benji! 2529 01:35:57,540 --> 01:35:59,203 Commentator: For a team that is considered to be 2530 01:35:59,203 --> 01:36:00,570 a team of sluggers, 2531 01:36:00,570 --> 01:36:02,970 Oglivie does not yet have an RBI in this series. 2532 01:36:05,862 --> 01:36:07,341 (bat cracks) (inspiring music) 2533 01:36:07,341 --> 01:36:09,699 Bob: And the breaking ball is hammered to right field! 2534 01:36:09,699 --> 01:36:10,532 Commentator: Look out. 2535 01:36:10,532 --> 01:36:11,365 Commentator: That one's hit well. 2536 01:36:11,365 --> 01:36:12,393 Deep to right, if it's fair, it's gone, 2537 01:36:12,393 --> 01:36:14,703 and we have a tie game! 2538 01:36:15,571 --> 01:36:18,120 (players cheering) (fans cheering) 2539 01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:18,953 Commentator: In Milwaukee, 2540 01:36:18,953 --> 01:36:19,786 they're dancing in the streets, 2541 01:36:19,786 --> 01:36:20,880 and that's the way it should be. 2542 01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:22,497 The seventh game of the World Series, 2543 01:36:22,497 --> 01:36:24,603 and these two clubs still battling. 2544 01:36:25,553 --> 01:36:28,309 -: I had that home run in the fifth inning to tie the game. 2545 01:36:28,309 --> 01:36:30,714 (inspiring music continues) 2546 01:36:30,714 --> 01:36:32,760 And that was huge. 2547 01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:34,807 (chuckles) I felt great. 2548 01:36:34,807 --> 01:36:37,474 (fans cheering) 2549 01:36:38,970 --> 01:36:42,825 (inspiring music continues) 2550 01:36:42,825 --> 01:36:44,730 (uptempo music) 2551 01:36:44,730 --> 01:36:46,140 Bob: Drilled into right center field, 2552 01:36:46,140 --> 01:36:48,653 that could go all the way to the wall and does! 2553 01:36:48,653 --> 01:36:50,603 Gantner, settles for two, 2554 01:36:50,603 --> 01:36:54,090 and the Brewers have the lead off man on. 2555 01:36:54,090 --> 01:36:56,700 Molitor, whose single was through the right side. 2556 01:36:56,700 --> 01:36:59,370 And that's where he'll be trying to aim one now. 2557 01:36:59,370 --> 01:37:01,370 Good looking bunt.
