Plan to come early.

You don't want to miss the old-timers taking batting practice, then the traditional old-timers game, and when it's all over, the regularly scheduled game between the Mets and Cubs at 4.05 p.m. Willie Mays, Joe DiMaggio, hopefully Mickey Mantle will be there, Stan Musial, Roy Campanella, Carl Erskine, Monty Irvin, Johnny Mize, Bobby Feller, Johnny Vandermeer, Lou Boudreau, Freddie Lindstrom, Joe Cronin, Whitey Ford, Joe Torre, Bobby Thompson, Tony Cregliero, our own Ralph Kiner, and new Hall of Famer Eddie Matthews, and many, many more.

That's Old Timers Day on the next Homestead, Saturday afternoon, July the 8th.

Joe Torre is in a very heated discussion with umpires Billy Williams and Dick Stello, the discussion taking place near first base.

And if you're not at Chase Stadium for this season's Old Timers Day on Saturday afternoon, July 8th, you won't be an eyewitness to more thrilling moments like this one.

Willie Mays, Joe DiMaggio have already accepted invitations as have Stan Musial, Roy Campanella, Carl Oskin, Monty Irvin, Johnny Mize, Bob Feller, Johnny Vandermeer, Lou Boudreau, Fred Lindstrom, Joe Cronin, Monty Ford, Joe Torrey, Bobby Thompson, Tony Conigliaro, and new Hall of Famer Eddie Matthews.

Mickey Mantle has accepted, but he has been ill and he had to cancel out.

The theme is hitters and no-hitters.

Stinson did not get around on it and it's off to the right.

He's been set up, slow breaking ball then a screwball, and then as Roy Campanella called it, the express.

And he was still swinging at a local, so he fouled it off to the right.

The next one on the hands and foul back.

Carl Furillo will bat seventh, and in the first game, he batted in the number six spot.

Campanella will do the catching, batting eighth, and Don Newcombe on the mound.

So both pitchers today, at least the starting pitchers in the second game of the World Series, are capable of delivering some help to their teammates with the bat.

Well, as we try to get all set now, let's pause ten seconds for station identification.

Sandy Amoros will bat sixth and play left field.

Carl Furillo will bat seventh and play right field.

And doing the casting for the Dodgers and batting in the number eight spot is Roy Campanella, with Don Newcombe on the mound.

Newcombe looking for his first World Series victory, as is the pitcher for the New York Yankees today, Don Larsen.

Charlie Neal at shortstop.

Roy Campanella back in action, back at the plate.

Don Zimmer hitting eighth playing third base, and Koufax to do the pitching.

The umpires will be Baker at the plate, Descoli, Ciccore, and Landis on the base paths.

It's 3:02 WOKO time.

[static] When Roy Campanella stepped up to the plate in the second inning with, uh, a man aboard, he promptly hit one deep into the left center field stands for a home run.

Now Klein serves up and Campy takes the curve over for strike one.

Elio Chacon, drifting back into foul territory to be out of the way of the pull hitter, was practically home.

One of the great Dodger favorites of all time just came in to watch today's doubleheader, Roy Campanella.

This time Koufax will work off the stretch.

Here's the pitch.
