Pittsburgh Pirates

It's your day.

And for you folks who might be listening and at the same time having to work today, well, we'll try and lessen the burden and get your mind off some of the big problems and concentrate on what happens with the Dodgers and the Pirates.

In the first game, it will be Sal Magli and Vernon Law.

Magley is 1-1 with the league, 1-0 against Pittsburgh, and lifetime 23-5.

In his only game against Pittsburgh this year, Magley was very good.

He pitched a complete game 6-1 victory.

And as we said, he has a 23-5 lifetime record against Pirates.

For Sal Magli, this Memorial Day, he has many a memory, of course, in his long and illustrious career in baseball.

Hello again, everybody.

This is Harry Caray at Wrigley Field, where the Chicago Cubs will be trying to gain an even split in this four-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Cubs had to come off the floor after being shut out in the first two games of the series.

They won the nightcap of the doubleheader 9-8 yesterday, and hopefully they'll win this one and then embark on a two-week road trip swinging through the West, as it were.

It'll be Rick Russell pitching here today for the Cubs, and Lee Tunnell on the hill for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

It's Chicken Day.

The famous San Diego Chicken will be among the attractions here today, besides the exciting baseball.

I was buying it all until it said clean living, and you were reading it.

Slight bobble by Rettman, no advance by Hefner.

The Buccos have two men on with one out to Willie Stoggo.

Now Clemente has hit safely in nine consecutive World Series games spanning 11 years.

In 1960 and now here in 1971.

At the pitch, changeup, blocked off the right side, over goes Boog Powell, comes up off the palm and the Orioles are out of the inning.

No runs, one hit, no errors and two left and we go now to the bottom of the first and there is no score.

Back in Baltimore, along with Bob Prince, this is Jim Simpson, and no question about it, the Buccos had a great chance in the first inning after a cash round of the short.

Edmund real walk on a high fastball with a 3-2 count.

And next Saturday, another big doubleheader for you.

There he is.

He'll be 40 in June.

And what his thoughts might be today is if the ball club stands on the threshold of winning it all for the city of Pittsburgh.

I'm speaking, of course, the long-time voice of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Bob Pratt.

Thank you very much, Boston.

Bill mentioned him being in the other league.

He pitched for the Pittsburgh Pirates over in the National League.

He's upstairs,

one and one.

But nonetheless, that should be a very, very interesting series.

The National League has not yet been determined.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are in, but who's it going to be? The Dodgers or the Giants? We'll know probably after tonight.

That was held by Hannes Wagner.

A lot of you fans will remember the great shortstop who played with the Pirates.

And I had a pleasure beating Hannes before he passed on.
