Chuck Dressen

For the second time tonight, the succinct message is flashed on the board in left field relative to the fact that Atlanta clinched the Western Division title.

And then the four words, the four words that were originally uttered by the late Charlie Dressen.

He said, "The Giants is dead." And that is up on the message board right now, but it brings old Jolly Charlie to mind so quickly, those four words.

Here's Billy Grabarcowicz.

The coaches for the Na- American League coaches.

The coaches for the National League are Charlie Grimm, the manager of the Chicago Cubs, and Chuck Dressen, the manager of the Cincinnati Reds.

The ballgame should be underway now, ladies and gentlemen, here in Cleveland in just about three or four minutes.

We're gonna pause now briefly for station announcements.

The starting picker for the National League, Walker, has won six games and lost two.

And the National League starting pitcher, from Cincinnati, Bob Purkey, who has a season's record of 13 wins and five losses.

The manager, again, the manager of the defending world champion Pittsburgh Pirates, Danny Murtaugh, and his coaches, Charlie Dressen of the Milwaukee Braves and Al Tappe of the Chicago Cubs.

The starting lineup now for the American League, and that tremendous cheer you hear in the background is for Warren Spahn of the Milwaukee Braves.

A real great ovation for a great left-hander who just yesterday won his 298th game.

They won it out in San Francisco in 10 innings by a score of five to four.

They've now won the last three, but the American League leads in All-Star victories 16 to 14.

Charlie Dressen takes over the coaching box at third base.

Al Tappe over at first base representing the Cubs in the National League.

Never wrote a letter to Walter O'Malley the way Chuck Dressen, the late Chuck Dressen did under the guidance of his wife that got him fired.

You saw Lou Piniella waiting on deck with a count of two balls, no strikes on Watson.

Bob reached on an error in the second inning.

Please game announcer- Remember, the Yankees will return home Tuesday night- Please be advised that the- To face the Detroit Tigers ... third base umpire- They play at the Yankee Stadium, 6:00 PM, a twi-night double header on Tuesday, September 29th, followed by a single night game on Wednesday the 30th, and a closing day game on Thursday afternoon, October the 1st.

Tigers have really played great ball, and in the morning paper we see where Charlie Dressen just signed another one-year contract for next year with Detroit.

Tigers got off to a rough start, had quite a few injuries, but Dressen has brought them along real well, and the Tiger management are very happy with Charlie's progress with the club, so he'll be back next year.

And then the final weekend of this exciting, drama-packed 1964 American League season will see the Cleveland Indians coming into town.
