Live, Kansas City, Missouri.

Royals Stadium seats about 40,000.

Every seat naturally sold.

the 1985 World Series.

Tonight, from Royals Stadium in Kansas City, game two, the St. Louis Cardinals against the Kansas City Royals.

Last night, the Royals took a 1-0 lead in the second, had runners at first and third with one out.

Buddy Bianchilana couldn't lay down a suicide squeeze, but Darryl Motley was tagged out in the rundown, and the Royals would not score for the rest of the night.

It's the American League championship series.

It's another beautiful night here in Royals Stadium in Kansas City.

No threat of rain.

Temperature in the 70s and the wind not a factor, only a mild breeze.

Jones is better than left field.

Evans is a good third baseman, probably more familiar over third than he has, is at first.

So if it's possible, after going 7 and 0 here at Royals Stadium, they have a better defensive club.

[cheering]

And there's Mr. Kauffman who brought baseball back to Kansas City as a home-owned team.

Royals Stadium holds 40,762, and there aren't too many empty seats right now.

Distances down the lines, 330 to the foul poles in left and right.

It moves out as the 12-foot wall curves around from foul pole to foul pole to the bullpen area and past the bullpen areas in right and left center, where it's 385 feet, 410 feet toward the deepest part of the field in deep right center and center field.

Yanks two and the Royals nothing.

We're in the third inning on a bright, sunshiny day in Kansas City.

Jammed house here in the Royals Stadium.

Gora ready to go to work again now.

So in that amount of time, about a month, they are the hottest ball club in the American League.

The Rangers start tonight in fourth place, eight games back of Kansas City as the Chicago White Sox coming from behind in a three-run homer by Lamar Johnson in the seventh inning to beat the Royals last night at Royals Stadium.

So Kansas City with a two-game lead over California, three games over Oakland, and eight games over Texas.

In the East, Boston has a seven-game lead over Milwaukee, eight-and-a-half game lead over New York, and nine games over the Tigers who have moved ahead of Baltimore.

And Doc Medich came on to relieve in the sixth inning, and despite the fact that the ball was hit hard on him, he got three up and three down.

So now it's just Medich's duty to hold the line for the Rangers to pick up the win.

By the way, Royals Stadium in Kansas City is a beautiful sight to see, and you can be there in person to watch the Rangers and the Royals battle it out for three games in a row if you join the Kansas City fly-in slated for August 18th to the 20th.

Van Dipert Tours of Arlington, in cooperation with the Rangers, sponsoring the weekend trip to Kansas City at the low price of $199 per person.

We go to the fifth inning of game number three in the American League Championship Series in front of Yankee Stadium.

Uh, the first here in New York after the two teams divided their first two games in Royals Stadium in Kansas City.

Dock Ellis on the mound for the Yankees, and the Hassler is the pitcher for Kansas City.

And now Ellis getting ready to pitch to the Royals in the fifth inning.

There's tennis courts.

Well, if you work for Kauffman Stadium, none of that matters to you.

That's right.

Arrowhead's right next door.
