Tony Lazzeri

Jurgys down on second.

And let's see, Tony Lazzeri coming in to bat for Charlie Root.

[crowd cheering] And Tony is getting a tremendous hand.

Oh, he was the idol of fans at Yankee Stadium for a number of years as a member of the Yankees.

One strike.

One strike.

Nobody down as yet.

[national anthem][crowd cheering] Back again in our, uh, duties, and I was speaking before the anthem about the native sons of California.

On the Yankees side are Gomez, the pitcher; Frank Roselli, the shortstop; Tony Lazzeri, the second baseman; perhaps the greatest of them all, Joe DiMaggio, the center fielder; and Merle Howe, the left fielder.

Against them on the, uh, Giants side is only Dick Bartell representing California.

And this is not a plug for my native so- native state or anything like that, but it is just an interesting sidelight.

In left field for the Yanks, Merle Howe.

In right field, George Selkirk.

Tony Lazzeri, Tony Lazzeri, the veteran second baseman, will be at the keystone sack for the American League entry.

At the, for the American, keystone sack for the American League entry.

Selkirk, right field.

Lazzeri, second base.

And Gomez, pitch.

For the Giants, Moore, left field.

Gomez is still taking his warm-up tosses.

The Yankee infield is tossing the ball around.

Lazzeri moves over to second base for the throw from Dickey.

There it goes, and we're just about ready to go here in the last half of the first inning.

Quite an interesting thing that I didn't remember or know about, one or the other.

When Alexander came in to strike out Tony Lazzeri in that famous series with the Yankees, he stayed in the ballgame.

That was in the seventh inning.

In the ninth inning, Babe Ruth was walked with two men out.

Musial was the batter, and Babe Ruth was thrown out trying to steal second base to end the World Series and give the Cardinals a victory.

Ed Alexander became the big hero, and Tony Lazzeri was the goat of the series, but Babe Ruth was thrown out at second trying to steal.

The runner is going.

The pitch is swung on and missed.

Took very solid wallops at the ball.

That's the hardest hit of the game to date in the course of effectiveness was that line drive that McCarty hit out at Lazeri out there.

It's interesting to me to find those fellas walking in there against Gomez.

Since in the first inning, outside of Barkel's drive over third base, they looked a little bit weak.

Two out, nobody out.

The hot stack back to Hubbell.

He knocked it down, picks it up, crosses for McCarthy, and Missouri is out.

That ball was hit right smack on the nose, and the applause is for that stop of Kyle Hubbell.

That Satchel look good in this one? Yeah.

Tony Lazzeri.

Hey, Torreon for your twins.

For the twins, and he had a great career for the Angels as well.

Jurges down on second.

And let's see, Tony Lazzeri coming in to bat for Charlie Root.

And Tony is getting a tremendous hand.

Oh, he was the idol of fans at Yankee Stadium for a number of years.

One strike.

One strike.
