Shibe Park

It's one and two to Agee.

We'll be on the air from Philadelphia, from Connie Mack Stadium at 7:30 PM on Friday night, bringing you the Mets and the Phillies.

One-two pitch misses outside.

It's two-two.

And the New York Mets are the champions of the Eastern Division of the National League.

Tomorrow is a day off, happily, for the New York Mets.

They will be in action again on Friday night at Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia.

They have three in Philadelphia and two in Chicago.

At the end of three at Wrigley Field, Expos one, Cubs one.

In Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia this afternoon, the Pittsburgh Pirates are leading the Phillies six to nothing, now playing in the bottom half of the eighth inning.

At Shea Stadium in New York, it's five to one for the Mets over St. Louis in the top of the seventh.

At Atlanta Stadium, San Francisco with runs in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings lead Atlanta three to nothing, now playing in the bottom half of the sixth.

Mets are in third place three games back.

And now from Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia, our national anthem.

Thank you.

From Connie Mack Stadium, and the Mets to play the Philadelphia Phillies for the final time this year.

The

weather report here

at Connie Mack Stadium, 84 degrees.

It was up to 100 earlier today.

Little high, 1-1.

In the old ballpark at Connie Mack Stadium, at the base of the center field wall, it was 447.

Then there was quite a bit of real estate behind the fence, and the double deck stands ran out to a direct point in straightaway center.

And Allen hit a line drive that went halfway up the second deck in straightaway center.

Game of sports is on the air.

Gillette presents the 11th annual All-Star baseball game between pick teams of the American and National Leagues at Shibe Park in Philadelphia.

For this privilege, the Gillette Safety Razor Company is contributing $25,000 to the Major Leagues Fund, which provides baseball equipment to our armed forces.

We wish to thank the sponsors of regularly scheduled programs for generously relinquishing their time and making this public service broadcast possible.

This is Mel Allen speaking through the facilities of the Columbia Broadcasting System, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and affiliated stations.

Red Barber and Bill Corum are with me to help give you a vivid words-eyed picture of every play, plus the color and highlights of tonight's game.

The stands of historic Shibe Park, scene of an All-Star game for the first time, are jammed with a baseball-loving crowd who are keenly wondering what will be recorded in the way of dramatic achievements tonight to add to the thrill-packed pages of this Midsummer Classic.

Even now they're buzzing with reminiscent chatter of what has gone before, and the applaud as the umpires take their place on the field, and the American League, the home team in tonight's game, trot out onto the field.

Today's action winding up a home stand for New York.

Tomorrow night, the Mets play the Phillies at Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia.

Mets and the Phils play tomorrow night, then play a twilight double header on Tuesday night, a night game Wednesday night.

Following the series in Philadelphia, the Mets go to Pittsburgh for a five-game series.

Ron Swoboda waiting on deck.

Clean up, yeah.

Mets open their road trip tomorrow night at Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia, and Jack Fisher will be the pitcher.

Philadelphia a sizzling team right now.
