Rocky Nelson

Wow.

But Rocky Nelson, who was the first baseman, he'd been with the Montreal Rose before that, and so had Sparky, actually.

But he had that nice little pull swing, you know, lefty, and he popped a lot of home runs over that short porch there.

I'll bet.

Now, both ball clubs messed up a bit, and really nobody got hurt on it, although the Expos lost a double play Cash takes a pitch up high, ball one.

That play was similar to the 1960 World Series when Rocky Nelson took a force away on that ball hit by Berra.

He tagged first and looked around to second base, and here comes Mantle sliding across in there.

Fastball inside on Cash, the count two and 0.

The Pittsburgh Parrots over the years have done extremely well in the draft.

Before the 1960 season in which they won the World Championship, they drafted Rocky Nelson as their first baseman.

They were a big help to them in their draft to the pennant in the World Championship.

Here's a clear ball in for a call strike two.

Found it going a little bit rough yesterday insofar as base hits did Mantle in that he failed a hit in three official at-bats.

Hope, Growth, Mazeroski, and Rocky Nelson are out at Pirate infield tonight.

Nelson is in at first base, replacing Dick Stewart, who played the first game yesterday.

Pirate outfield to Roger Marris.

Friend into the move now, and here comes the payoff.

3-2 pitch to Marris.

It's cut out, and there's a drive for a base hit between Mazeroski and Rocky Nelson, and on through to right field.

And Marris is on with his fourth hit of the series.

The shortest home run I ever saw involved a, an, a argument.

Rocky Nelson, you remember Rocky Nelson?

Oh, yes.

Very well.

Pass takes a pitch up high, ball one.

That play was similar to the 1960 World Series when Rocky Nelson took the fourth away on that ball hit by Barrett.

He tagged first and looked around at second base and here comes Mantle sliding back in there.

Pass ball inside on Jags to count to an O.

Here's a curveball end for a call strike, too.

They drafted Jesse Gonder from the Braves before the start of this season.

Bob Skinner back in the lineup, batting three and playing left field.

Rocky Nelson bats four and plays first base.

Batting five in right field, Roberto Clemente.

Number six hitter, Burgess, the catcher, batting seven.

Two and nothing on Rodgers.

Bill Burden in center field and Roberto Clemente in right.

It's Don Hoke at third, Dick Grote at short, Mazeroski at second, and Rocky Nelson playing first.

Burgess catching.

Now, two and two.

Nelson has to guard the dish.

Bailey has taken his own sweet time, and you can't blame him.

Comes down 2-2.

Philadelphia one, Los Angeles nothing.

End of an inning, San Francisco four, Pittsburgh three.

The three Pittsburgh runs, a home run by Rocky Nelson's two arms.

Cincinnati starting at St. Louis.
