Al López

He's hitting .237, but he's picked up in his hitting.

He had a 13-game hitting streak until he ran into these selfish men that Al Lopez has for pitches.

They stopped him Friday night.

There's a curve from Pierce for a strike on the outside.

Here comes Mantle.

And it's a 6-2 ball game.

And here comes Al Lopez out of the White Sox dugout.

Billy Pierce had pitched a perfect game.

And over at third, Frank Yuma.

Casey Stengel and Al Lopez are talking things over at home plate.

Must be quite a crowd out at the gates yet.

This park is just about full, and they're standing in every available spot way out in the center field bleachers.

It hit the pitching rubber and bounded over Aparicio's outstretched glove into short center field, driving in Cletus Boyer and Bobby Richardson, and the Yankees take a four to one lead.

So Jim Coates, who has been hitting that ball real well this year, comes up with a timely base hit, putting his jacket on at first base.

Still nobody out, and here comes Al Lopez.

Here comes Señor Lopez.

In the American League, a final score, the Chicago White Sox three, the Kansas City two.

Orlan the winner, Hirer the loser, and the Chicago White Sox of Al Lopez finish second in the American League race.

The final standings.

Here's a swing and a miss.

Two balls and a strike.

Last year, Dave Nicholson set a Major League record with 175 strikeouts, and he was going at an even greater pace this year when Al Lopez had to finally bench him.

High fly ball into short center field.

Maris getting under it.

Chicago, of course, is the baseball capital of the world.

Al Lopez's White Sox yesterday, won in a breeze, 11 to nothing, and I don't even believe the most partisan fans here would expect anything like an 11 to nothing shutout.

Right now, the White Sox are shooting for their second straight, and I've never seen such enthusiasm in Chicago.

Now, the fans fully expect the White Sox to go on and win the Fall Classic, but many are even talking about winning in four straight.

Robert J. Shaw, born in the Bronx, a native of Garden City, Long Island, six foot two, 190 pounder who went to St. Lawrence University, who came up through the Detroit Tiger farm system.

And with the Tigers two years ago in seven appearances had a record of nothing and one, and in 1958 early in the year and along, uh, with the White Sox, to whom he was traded along with Ray Boone, had a record of five and four.

But this year, as Bissom has already told you, he was one of the pleasant surprises for Al Lopez, winning 18 games.

He's a fella that has a good fastball.

That's almost for sure.

Al Lopez is talking with Casey Stengel.

And the police and the umpires are trying to restore order And now let's see what they're going to do.

That was a high fastball.

Billy Martin and Country Slaughter, the country boy, has also been chased.

Well, that's it.

Now the managers, one of them still out there in the field, and that is Al Lopez of the White

Sox.

I have not been able to get able to stream the Brewers stuff.

But it's interesting from a quick Tampa perspective, you know, working at the baseball museum, Al Lopez.

Al Lopez took two teams to the World Series that he managed, the White Sox and the Indians/Gardener- Guardians.

[laughs] Okay? So if Al was still alive today, it would be a most interesting postseason for him, I am sure.

But anyway, [laughs] thank all of you all today for joining Matt and I.
