out of waiting from Whitey Ford.

Heard the pitch is low outside the ball to two balls in one strike.

I'd like to see old Jim right now.

I say well Jim I bet the club you'd like to go to would have been the Yankees.

You'd have been joining your troublesome pitcher Whitey Ford.

Number nine.

In the American League at the end of one, the Yankees nothing, the Twins nothing.

He has lost seven.

And pitching against Tim Perry, who has won five and lost none.

Whitey Ford with a 10-7 record pitching for the Yankees.

Jim Perry pitching for the Minnesota Twins.

He did, however, in the ninth inning, give Bob Grimm and the Yankees...

And also gave Whitey Ford, who was listening to the ninth inning in the clubhouse, quite a scare.

There's a curveball.

It breaks low for ball one.

The leg and knee problems that had begun during high school football never ceased.

Before each game, he would be wrapped in tape, often from his big toes to the middle of his thighs.

But ultimately, there was in Mickey Mantle's life what the author Marcel Proust so perfectly summarized in the title of his ultimate novel, The Search for

Time Loss.

They used to tell me in Whitey Ford if we didn't slow down, like Allie Reynolds and Vic Rashi and Eddie Lopat, all the old guys, used to tell us we better slow down or we're going to be over the hill before our time.

And, well, we both made the Hall of Fame.

Johnny Cooks was a great sinker ball pitcher.

And Whitey Ford, who didn't throw a sinker ball, but threw that curveball.

Nine out of ten are off the strike zone.

They look

Looks like Charlie Lau is being brought in from the bullpen as a pinch hitter.

Woody Held is the scheduled hitter and it's Charlie Lau coming in a left handed batter.

I guess one of the hardest balls I've ever seen hit that way was the one that Frank Howard hit off Whitey Ford in the series.
