Matty Alou

Moore.

Here is Matty Alou, who has been a disappointment to himself at the plate.

He is one for 21 in this series.

Matty was a big factor in the A's late season drive.

And a throw to first from Concepcion.

The shortstop gets him.

Matty Alou bunted that ball with a little half swing out over the pitcher's mound.

With Concepcion playing him over to his right.

He has his average now up to 263.

And his two brothers, Matty and Philippe, well, they've been something else.

They're 1-2 in the National League in batting.

Philippe leads the Major Leagues in base hits.

He has 210 hits.

Tom Heller up and a foul ball back toward our broadcasting booth out of play.

Matty Alou, the middle brother.

Leading the national league in batting.

There's a strike to him.

Matty Alou set the Major League record most at bats in 698.

There's a bounce at the second, and Cash throws him out.

That's the man I was just about to talk to.

Now Cash is in with 101 hits.

As of right now, he has been to the plate 671 times.

The record by Matty Alou is 698.

I'm going to not break it in this series, but if he gets up, say, four times tonight and tomorrow is eight, he'll make a run at it before he's through.

at shortstop leading off.

Matty Alou in left field, hitting second.

Willie McCovey playing first base and batting third.

Willie Mays in center field, batting cleanup.

He had two run-scoring doubles.

Jim wound up the night with two hits in six times at bat.

Last time up, he hit a long fly that was caught against the fence by Matty Alou.

So now here is Jim Hickman stepping in with the bases loaded.

He'll be the pitcher next inning.

Also, Matty Alou of the Pittsburgh center field and Julio Javier, the Cardinal's second baseman, are down there loosening up.

And I'm

sure we'll see some defensive changes for the American League.

And have you got your scorecards ready? Allard remains behind the plate after pinch hitting and will bat ninth.

Steve Carlin comes on to pitch but will bat second as Kirk Plutt goes out of the ballgame.

And Matty Alou has gone into the ballgame in left field.

The league's leading hitter and the leading hitter in the major leagues.

Ball one.

See where Felipe's brother Matty is now in the American League, Bill White.

The Oakland A's.

In fact, he got him started on a winning inning the other day.

Oakland just picked up Matty Alou.

Felipe Alou.

One of Felipe Alou's younger brothers.

White leads.

It's 1-1.

His brother, Matty Alou, has had a little difficulty.

And this is Dr. Harrison McLaughlin today for an examination of his ailing thigh.

There's a pitch in there for a called strike.

Maddie Alou had trouble with that thigh injury the latter part of last season and actually this is a recurrence.

The doctor today has asked him to stay out of action for a while.

But big brother Felipe Alou is at the plate right now with a count of one ball and two strikes.

Swing and a miss.

0-2.

In those days, the A's had Joe Rudy, Reggie, and Matty Alou in the outfield, and then they had to revamp with Reggie's injury, and Hendricks got 15 at-bats against the Reds 14 years ago.

Hits sharply, but to Barrett, who cradles the ball.

And throws him out to the squanderer leadoff double by Descense.
