Red BarberSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
and Von is going down is somewhat of a story.
Mel AllenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Mel AllenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now, on the Dodger bullpen, you see Preacher Roe, the left-hander, and Carl Erskine, the right-hander, heating up.
Mel AllenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Al HelferSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But here's a guy coming up to plate who can tag that long one for you, Mickey Vernon, who is coming up, as you said, to bat for, uh, Ray Boone.
Al HelferSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now, it's all conjecture on our part, but, uh, wouldn't be a bit surprised if Mickey Vernon would stay right in there to play at first base, and they'll move, uh, Flip Rosen over from, uh, first over to third because after all, Rosen has been playing third, hasn't he? Now we're going to have, uh, I believe Carl Erskine is going to come on to, uh, take over on the mound for the National League and relieve Gene Conley.

Joe GaragiolaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I guess it's been said many different ways, but Carl Erskine said it as well as anybody when he said pitching is nothing more than keeping the hitter off-stride.
Joe GaragiolaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They ask him, "How many pitches do you need to stay in the Major Leagues?" If you have control of one and can change speeds, that's enough.
