Bob Robertson

Let's see how the Pirates deploy the infield.

They have been over-shifting with Hernandez, Cash, and Robertson.

Number six hitting, number two hitters, Boog is up.

One out and one on, and the ball to first under very cloudy skies, and no score.

The infield shift is on.

Hernandez, Cash, and Robertson all off the first base side, and Powell steps out.

The two fellows you expect to hit those terminating shots have not yet done it, Powell and Stargell.

And Blass starts him right off with that changeup, and he likes to establish that pitch early, as Jim Simpson told you the other day over in Pittsburgh.

Brooks Robinson in game two, on base five times in a row.

Then Steve Blass with a brilliant three-hitter for the Pirates, helped by a big home run by Bob Robertson.

Young Bruce Kison became the talk of the nation with his clutch relief pitching, and a big pinch-hit single by Milt May.

And then in game five, a two-hitter by Nelson Briles.

[cheering] Batting fourth, playing left field, number eight, Willie Stargell.

[cheering] Batting fifth, and playing center field, number 16, Al Oliver.

[cheering] Batting six, and playing first base, number seven, Bob Robertson.

[cheering] Batting seventh, and catching for Pittsburgh, number 35, Manny Sanguillén.

I, I haven't seen what those, I haven't seen that lately.

And that, of course, the S- uh, Bob Robertson had a home run in that game.

Yep.

Clemeni had an RBI.

The center fielder, Al Oliver, will hit number five.

Bob Robertson playing first base batting sixth, Manny Sanguillén, the catcher, will hit seventh, Gene Alley, the shortstop, batting eighth, and on the mound batting ninth, right-hander Dock Ellis.

The umpires, John Kibler behind the plate, Thatch Davidson at first base, Paul Pryor at second, and Shag Crawford is the umpire at third.

And now it's time for action.

Agee takes a called strike.

It's strike one.

For the Pirates, Manny Sanguillén catching, at first base Bob Robertson, at second base Dave Cash, the shortstop is Gene Alley, the third baseman Richie Hebner.

In the outfield, Vic Davalillo in left field, Al Oliver in center field, and Roberto Clemente in right.

Delco tune-up service available at Lockhart Tire Incorporated, 507 Lockhart Street on the North Side, and Calabro Tire Service, 1476 Barrow Hill Road in the South Hills.

Now into the, uh, 11th inning, and Bobby Robertson is on to do the first base chores.

Playing at first base now in place of Eddie Kirkpatrick, who was batted for by Maka.

And here in the Cardinal 11th inning, Royce pitches to Smith, Simmons, and Torre.

Heffner's up.

Behind third, throws low, held by Robertson.

Great play by Bobby Robertson on a low throw into the dirt.

One out.
