(soft music)

00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,329
(soft music continues)

6
00:00:28,495 --> 00:00:30,390
-: I tell my students this story,

7
00:00:30,390 --> 00:00:31,803
'cause it's a great story.

8
00:00:33,330 --> 00:00:38,250
We're playing Baltimore, sold out, Friday night game.

9
00:00:38,250 --> 00:00:42,660
And I'm sitting in my office, my phone rings,

10
00:00:42,660 --> 00:00:46,020
it's Harry, who was down the clubhouse with Harvey,

11
00:00:46,020 --> 00:00:48,510
and Dr. Jacobs, Paul Jacobs, our doctor.

12
00:00:48,510 --> 00:00:50,790
He said, "Your kid," they referred to Yount

13
00:00:50,790 --> 00:00:53,580
as my kid all the time, "Is acting up."

14
00:00:53,580 --> 00:00:54,510
You better get down here."

15
00:00:54,510 --> 00:00:57,600
So, I walk into the manager's office.

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,167
Dr. Jacobs says,

17
00:00:59,167 --> 00:01:01,350
"Your kid has a bad shoulder and a bad knee.

18
00:01:01,350 --> 00:01:03,397
They're both swollen."

19
00:01:03,397 --> 00:01:04,230
"Really?

20
00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:07,050
Well, I'm shocked."

21
00:01:07,050 --> 00:01:10,593
And Harvey honestly looked like he was gonna cry.

22
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,060
I get up and walk out, and there's Rob sitting over there

23
00:01:15,060 --> 00:01:19,143
with Molitor and Simmons.

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,530
Rob's in his uniform.

25
00:01:22,530 --> 00:01:24,303
I said to him, "I'll see you when you get back,

26
00:01:24,303 --> 00:01:26,010
from the hospital."

27
00:01:26,010 --> 00:01:27,720
He says, "Hospital?"

28
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:28,920
He said, "I'm not going.

29
00:01:29,790 --> 00:01:32,430
We gotta play tonight. We're playing Baltimore."

30
00:01:32,430 --> 00:01:35,910
He says, "Boss, I'm a ball player.

31
00:01:35,910 --> 00:01:38,130
That's what I'm here for."

32
00:01:38,130 --> 00:01:40,987
And when he said that, I said to him,

33
00:01:40,987 --> 00:01:44,280
"Go ahead and play. I'll take the responsibility."

34
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,610
Rob never missed an inning the whole rest of the way.

35
00:01:47,610 --> 00:01:49,960
Through the playoffs, through the World Series.

36
00:01:51,732 --> 00:01:52,565
It's a wonderful line.

37
00:01:52,565 --> 00:01:55,530
"That's what I'm here for. I'm a ball player.

38
00:01:55,530 --> 00:01:58,777
And that'll tell you a lot about the '82 Brewers.

39
00:01:58,777 --> 00:02:03,570
(pictures thudding)
(soft inspiring music)

40
00:02:03,570 --> 00:02:05,640
(intense uptempo music)

41
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,680
-: Everybody loves their hometown team,

42
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,413
but there is something different in Milwaukee.

43
00:02:11,255 --> 00:02:14,961
(intense uptempo music)
(crowd cheers)

44
00:02:14,961 --> 00:02:18,090
-: You know, Don Sutton said it best.

45
00:02:18,090 --> 00:02:20,370
He said, "Every player should have the privilege

46
00:02:20,370 --> 00:02:22,350
of playing in Milwaukee."

47
00:02:22,350 --> 00:02:23,313
And he was right.

48
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,677
-: Milwaukee is the best kept secret in the world.

49
00:02:28,677 --> 00:02:29,977
(uptempo rock music)

50
00:02:29,977 --> 00:02:31,470
(crowd cheers)
(bats cracking)

51
00:02:31,470 --> 00:02:32,910
-: It's a blue collar town,

52
00:02:32,910 --> 00:02:34,833
and we were a blue collar ball club.

53
00:02:35,670 --> 00:02:39,450
-: Every single guy had his own way of being different.

54
00:02:39,450 --> 00:02:42,720
There was not a normal person on the roster.

55
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,230
-: Everybody thought that we were this band of crazy guys.

56
00:02:46,230 --> 00:02:49,650
Party all night, and then go out and just bash 'em to death.

57
00:02:49,650 --> 00:02:51,870
-: My goal in Milwaukee was to drink in every bar

58
00:02:51,870 --> 00:02:53,394
before my career was over.

59
00:02:53,394 --> 00:02:55,980
You know? They had 2,000 and something bars, you know?

60
00:02:55,980 --> 00:02:57,750
-: That '82 season...

61
00:02:57,750 --> 00:03:00,432
It was chaotic, man. It was fun.

62
00:03:00,432 --> 00:03:02,280
(uptempo rock music)

63
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,420
-: We had flavor, man.

64
00:03:03,420 --> 00:03:05,130
And it ran up and down the roster.

65
00:03:05,130 --> 00:03:07,500
Speaker: We had a bunch of characters in the clubhouse.

66
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:08,970
-: They were all good guys.

67
00:03:08,970 --> 00:03:10,680
That was the closest knit team I had been on.

68
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,170
-: And the best part about it is we had no one

69
00:03:13,170 --> 00:03:15,540
who thought they were better than anybody else.

70
00:03:15,540 --> 00:03:17,010
It's all for one, one for all.

71
00:03:17,010 --> 00:03:19,316
-: You win as a team, and you lose as a team.

72
00:03:19,316 --> 00:03:22,316
♪ So young, insane ♪

73
00:03:26,475 --> 00:03:28,930
(uptempo rock music fades)

74
00:03:28,930 --> 00:03:31,440
Reporter: Milwaukee is a city known for beer,

75
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,410
blue collars, and a Braves baseball championship

76
00:03:34,410 --> 00:03:36,056
back in 1957.

77
00:03:36,056 --> 00:03:37,294
Commentator: And the Milwaukee Braves

78
00:03:37,294 --> 00:03:39,594
are the new world champions!

79
00:03:39,594 --> 00:03:42,870
-: I was the first native Milwaukeean to play for the Braves.

80
00:03:42,870 --> 00:03:44,220
I was also the first native Milwaukeean

81
00:03:44,220 --> 00:03:46,740
to be sent to the minor leagues by the Braves,

82
00:03:46,740 --> 00:03:48,146
so that was always big for me.

83
00:03:48,146 --> 00:03:48,979
(Bob chuckles)

84
00:03:48,979 --> 00:03:51,630
-: I'm from a small town, about an hour north of Milwaukee.

85
00:03:51,630 --> 00:03:53,850
I was always a National League fan

86
00:03:53,850 --> 00:03:55,530
because of the Braves being in Milwaukee.

87
00:03:55,530 --> 00:03:58,380
So when they left, you know, it really broke my heart.

88
00:03:58,380 --> 00:04:00,510
-: Gonna open in Atlanta on the 14th of April,

89
00:04:00,510 --> 00:04:03,510
I believe the date is next year, and that's it.

90
00:04:03,510 --> 00:04:05,760
-: The Braves owners handled this entire matter

91
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,410
in a very disgraceful manner.

92
00:04:07,410 --> 00:04:09,780
The only way that baseball can rectify the situation

93
00:04:09,780 --> 00:04:11,850
is to return baseball to Milwaukee,

94
00:04:11,850 --> 00:04:14,633
where it once gave baseball a tremendous shot in the arm.

95
00:04:16,072 --> 00:04:17,280
(funky music)

96
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:18,930
-: This is Milwaukee County Stadium.

97
00:04:18,930 --> 00:04:22,950
And since 1965, more birds have been here than people.

98
00:04:22,950 --> 00:04:24,420
That's not the case anymore,

99
00:04:24,420 --> 00:04:27,180
because Milwaukee now has a baseball team.

100
00:04:27,180 --> 00:04:30,780
-: Mr. Selig put the work to get a baseball team here

101
00:04:30,780 --> 00:04:32,550
after the Braves left.

102
00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:33,990
Reporter: Seattle Pilots now, of course,

103
00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:35,220
the Milwaukee Brewers.

104
00:04:35,220 --> 00:04:37,470
-: Mr. Selig brought the team back from Seattle,

105
00:04:37,470 --> 00:04:39,270
and I mean, it was like a new start.

106
00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:42,990
-: We came in 1970, and there was a lot of bitterness

107
00:04:42,990 --> 00:04:44,310
over what the Braves had done,

108
00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:48,180
and I sort of miscalculated that a little bit.

109
00:04:48,180 --> 00:04:50,130
-: I think there's a lot of hard feelings in Milwaukee

110
00:04:50,130 --> 00:04:51,360
of moving the team out,

111
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,480
so I think it'll be quite a while before

112
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,910
they'll get back up to the standards of the Braves.

113
00:04:56,910 --> 00:04:58,680
-: Do you think you will come out to a game or two?

114
00:04:58,680 --> 00:04:59,760
-: I doubt it.

115
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,080
-: I was here from the start.

116
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,990
-: When the Milwaukee Brewers take the field on opening day,

117
00:05:03,990 --> 00:05:06,420
this is the uniform they'll be wearing.

118
00:05:06,420 --> 00:05:08,430
-: And back in those days,

119
00:05:08,430 --> 00:05:10,556
Brewers were in the American League at that time.

120
00:05:10,556 --> 00:05:12,060
-: If the American League is coming here,

121
00:05:12,060 --> 00:05:13,440
I'm looking forward to it.

122
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,310
I like baseball.

123
00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:15,690
-: I think it's great for Milwaukee.

124
00:05:15,690 --> 00:05:17,700
-: We got off to a rocky start.

125
00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:20,640
-: Early on when I started, we were not very good.

126
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,460
-: Does Milwaukee deserve Major League Baseball team,

127
00:05:23,460 --> 00:05:24,990
or are they really bush league?

128
00:05:24,990 --> 00:05:28,170
-: In the early '70s, the Milwaukee Brewers,

129
00:05:28,170 --> 00:05:30,690
realistically had no chance to compete

130
00:05:30,690 --> 00:05:32,370
for pennants or championships,

131
00:05:32,370 --> 00:05:34,693
and so I guess they felt like they could throw

132
00:05:34,693 --> 00:05:38,550
a 18-year-old shortstop out there and see what happens.

133
00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:40,020
I was not Major League ready,

134
00:05:40,020 --> 00:05:42,150
but I was Milwaukee Brewer ready.

135
00:05:42,150 --> 00:05:43,620
-: For seven or eight years,

136
00:05:43,620 --> 00:05:45,630
we had not yet been a .500 team,

137
00:05:45,630 --> 00:05:47,310
and I began to hear that a lot.

138
00:05:47,310 --> 00:05:49,560
We clearly and certainly need help.

139
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,147
I really don't need anybody to remind me of that.

140
00:05:51,147 --> 00:05:53,340
-: The club just wasn't a very, very good club

141
00:05:53,340 --> 00:05:54,660
and competitive at the time,

142
00:05:54,660 --> 00:05:56,790
but we started to learn how to do it..

143
00:05:56,790 --> 00:06:01,200
-: And all of a sudden, '78 kind of clicked for everybody.

144
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,108
I think that would've been Paul Molitor's rookie year.

145
00:06:04,108 --> 00:06:04,941
(bat cracks)

146
00:06:04,941 --> 00:06:07,830
-: Robin, who was only about a year older than me,

147
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:09,840
had already played in the big leagues for four years,

148
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:11,400
but they were four really tough years,

149
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,770
and I think everyone felt that we were headed

150
00:06:13,770 --> 00:06:15,900
in the right direction as far as some of the talent

151
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:17,040
that had been assembled.

152
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,817
-: We had a group of guys I think that wanted to win,

153
00:06:18,817 --> 00:06:21,480
wanted to turn losing around into winning.

154
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,720
-: When a World Series flag is waving in left center field

155
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,553
on the flag pole,

156
00:06:25,553 --> 00:06:27,570
then all the heartache and all the travail

157
00:06:27,570 --> 00:06:28,740
and all the things that one goes through

158
00:06:28,740 --> 00:06:30,766
will be well worth it.

159
00:06:30,766 --> 00:06:32,088
-: Programs!

160
00:06:32,088 --> 00:06:34,050
Programs here!

161
00:06:34,050 --> 00:06:36,270
-: Fans were 100% percent behind us.

162
00:06:36,270 --> 00:06:38,120
Probably the best fans you ever wanna play in front of,

163
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,080
is Milwaukee, Wisconsin fans.

164
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:40,913
They're awesome.

165
00:06:40,913 --> 00:06:44,019
-: It's a loyal fan base, is what it is.

166
00:06:44,019 --> 00:06:46,080
-: You drive into the ballpark on a Saturday morning,

167
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,480
and there's 15,000 people in the parking lot.

168
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,240
-: I liken it to a small town.

169
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,650
Everybody knows everybody.

170
00:06:52,650 --> 00:06:53,760
-: People come out to the ballpark

171
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,700
a couple of hours before the game, they set up barbecues,

172
00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:58,560
and the tailgate party begins.

173
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,120
-: I don't think there's a better park

174
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,490
or parking area in baseball

175
00:07:02,490 --> 00:07:05,160
than we have here for tailgating.

176
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,180
It's huge.

177
00:07:06,180 --> 00:07:07,013
-: To party!

178
00:07:07,013 --> 00:07:08,910
Why does anybody come out to a baseball game, right?

179
00:07:08,910 --> 00:07:11,610
Drink, party, oh, and see baseball.

180
00:07:11,610 --> 00:07:12,840
-: Once the weather got decent,

181
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,300
and even when it wasn't decent,

182
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:16,710
they were out there tailgating.

183
00:07:16,710 --> 00:07:18,780
Reporter: You folks are allowed to drink beer out here?

184
00:07:18,780 --> 00:07:20,400
-: In Milwaukee?

185
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,600
They invented beer!

186
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:22,800
All: Let's play ball!

187
00:07:24,690 --> 00:07:27,420
-: There's a beer bust in Milwaukee, and it's no party.

188
00:07:27,420 --> 00:07:29,100
Milwaukee has been famous for beer

189
00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:30,960
since long before the Civil War,

190
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,270
and now the most famous of its old breweries

191
00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:34,260
is shutting down.

192
00:07:34,260 --> 00:07:37,050
-: This is where they used to brew Schlitz beer.

193
00:07:37,050 --> 00:07:39,750
We say "used to" because after the Joseph Schlitz

194
00:07:39,750 --> 00:07:42,600
brewery was absorbed by Stroh's back in June,

195
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,820
thousands of jobs were lost here.

196
00:07:44,820 --> 00:07:47,365
This place, literally shut down.

197
00:07:47,365 --> 00:07:49,410
-: It's tough for the town, there's no doubt about that.

198
00:07:49,410 --> 00:07:51,510
Reporter: And talk about adding insult to injury,

199
00:07:51,510 --> 00:07:55,110
the biggest sign in downtown Milwaukee now advertises a beer

200
00:07:55,110 --> 00:07:57,913
made in a foreign land called St. Louis.

201
00:07:57,913 --> 00:07:59,250
Reporter: 1,200 people have lost

202
00:07:59,250 --> 00:08:00,720
their jobs at Harnischfeger.

203
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,100
Allis-Chalmers, 3,200 jobs gone in the last three years.

204
00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:07,200
Triple that in the last five years.

205
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,910
These names may not mean much to you,

206
00:08:08,910 --> 00:08:12,510
but in Milwaukee they are as big as GM, Ford and Chrysler.

207
00:08:12,510 --> 00:08:15,360
-: '81-82, there was a recession going on,

208
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,810
and the people were really hurting in Milwaukee.

209
00:08:18,810 --> 00:08:22,890
Baseball players, I think we get in our own little bubble,

210
00:08:22,890 --> 00:08:25,350
but we could really feel it.

211
00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:27,660
We knew that the people were hurting.

212
00:08:27,660 --> 00:08:30,120
We were trying to give them something

213
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,620
that they could hang on to,

214
00:08:31,620 --> 00:08:34,890
and for the two or three hours of the game,

215
00:08:34,890 --> 00:08:37,140
they can get their mind off of their problems.

216
00:08:37,140 --> 00:08:38,934
Just watch us play.

217
00:08:38,934 --> 00:08:41,040
-: It gets people closer together, Black, white, you know,

218
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,170
nobody look at what color they are and things like that.

219
00:08:43,170 --> 00:08:45,600
We all come together and cheer for our team,

220
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,430
and we're going to keep cheering, you know?

221
00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:49,020
And I just hope we can stick together,

222
00:08:49,020 --> 00:08:51,060
and things get better, like I say, you know?

223
00:08:51,060 --> 00:08:53,960
-: After we went through what we did in '81...

224
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,070
(reel whooshes)

225
00:08:56,070 --> 00:08:57,990
Announcer: The arm is back, here he comes, one, two!

226
00:08:57,990 --> 00:08:59,180
Swing and a miss!

227
00:09:00,382 --> 00:09:03,715
Goodbye, Detroit! Hello, New York!

228
00:09:03,715 --> 00:09:06,087
And Milwaukee will face New York

229
00:09:06,087 --> 00:09:09,150
for the American League Eastern Division Championship.

230
00:09:09,150 --> 00:09:11,267
-: This was our first taste of playoff baseball.

231
00:09:11,267 --> 00:09:12,960
It was a five game playoff,

232
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,930
and we took the Yankees to the fifth game in Yankee Stadium.

233
00:09:15,930 --> 00:09:17,630
Commentator: We're getting set for game number five

234
00:09:17,630 --> 00:09:20,760
between the Milwaukee Brewers and the New York Yankees.

235
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,910
-: It takes a little luck here or there to win short series,

236
00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:26,820
and we were within a foot or so of the home run

237
00:09:26,820 --> 00:09:28,530
that wasn't quite meant to be.

238
00:09:28,530 --> 00:09:29,640
Commentator: Going toward the corner,

239
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,099
going toward the corner, to the wall...

240
00:09:32,099 --> 00:09:32,932
Oh, oh!

241
00:09:33,987 --> 00:09:35,667
Commentator: The New York Yankees have defeated

242
00:09:35,667 --> 00:09:38,837
the Milwaukee Brewers by a score of 7 to 3.

243
00:09:40,272 --> 00:09:44,250
-: Now we're going into '82 with expectations that,

244
00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:45,960
hey, we got the horses.

245
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,090
-: We knew we had the talent to do it.

246
00:09:48,090 --> 00:09:51,817
-: That group of guys collectively said,

247
00:09:51,817 --> 00:09:52,710
"You know what?

248
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:56,190
We are a championship caliber baseball team,

249
00:09:56,190 --> 00:09:57,300
and we can do this."

250
00:09:57,300 --> 00:09:58,957
-: When we started spring training, we said,

251
00:09:58,957 --> 00:10:00,207
"Oh, this is the year."

252
00:10:02,265 --> 00:10:04,410
(bats cracking)
(uptempo bass music)

253
00:10:04,410 --> 00:10:06,180
Speaker: There's obvious talent on this club.

254
00:10:06,180 --> 00:10:08,370
Reporter: The multi-talented Milwaukee Brewers

255
00:10:08,370 --> 00:10:10,320
are finally fulfilling the promises

256
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,090
of the past few years.

257
00:10:12,090 --> 00:10:13,320
-: You can go down the lineup,

258
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,717
and you could see the potential on this team.

259
00:10:16,717 --> 00:10:17,850
(bat cracks)

260
00:10:17,850 --> 00:10:20,190
-: Robin's at short, Hall of Famer.

261
00:10:20,190 --> 00:10:22,140
Molitor is at third, Hall of Famer.

262
00:10:22,140 --> 00:10:24,750
Cooper's at first, Hall of Famer to me.

263
00:10:24,750 --> 00:10:26,490
Rollie Fingers is a Hall of Famer.

264
00:10:26,490 --> 00:10:28,140
Ted Simmons is a Hall of Famer.

265
00:10:28,140 --> 00:10:30,862
And I'm playing on the same infield as these guys.

266
00:10:30,862 --> 00:10:32,550
(crowd cheers)
(uptempo bass music)

267
00:10:32,550 --> 00:10:35,400
-: Our goal was to win the World Series.

268
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:36,750
-: We know we can win.

269
00:10:36,750 --> 00:10:38,790
It's just a matter of us getting off to a good start

270
00:10:38,790 --> 00:10:39,840
and doing it.

271
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,390
-: Everyone was anticipating what was going to take place,

272
00:10:42,390 --> 00:10:44,730
knowing that they were gonna win a World Series.

273
00:10:44,730 --> 00:10:46,530
Presenter: April 6th, Opening Day.

274
00:10:46,530 --> 00:10:49,740
Old Man Winter was shutting them out with snowballs.

275
00:10:49,740 --> 00:10:51,450
Reporter: As you can see throughout the stadium here,

276
00:10:51,450 --> 00:10:53,340
we've got snow and ice everywhere.

277
00:10:53,340 --> 00:10:54,960
The conditions would've been so bad,

278
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,300
we just thought it would be better for everybody involved

279
00:10:57,300 --> 00:10:58,133
to postpone it.

280
00:10:59,610 --> 00:11:01,740
Presenter: With two postponed games behind them,

281
00:11:01,740 --> 00:11:04,410
the Brewers flew to the warmer climbs of Toronto.

282
00:11:04,410 --> 00:11:05,400
Bob: Hello again, everyone!

283
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,530
Bob Uecker along with Dwayne Mosely,

284
00:11:07,530 --> 00:11:09,300
set to bring you tonight's contest.

285
00:11:09,300 --> 00:11:12,000
-: In simple terms, I know we didn't get off

286
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,880
to as good a start as we were expected to.

287
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:15,901
Commentator: Here's the pitch.

288
00:11:15,901 --> 00:11:18,151
Deep left, it's outta here!

289
00:11:19,379 --> 00:11:20,212
Commentator: Runner going, swing and a miss,

290
00:11:20,212 --> 00:11:23,200
the throw by Perry, he is out at second base!

291
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,339
Commentator: One-two pitch.

292
00:11:24,339 --> 00:11:25,686
Ripped high.

293
00:11:25,686 --> 00:11:26,647
Commentator: Swing and a miss,

294
00:11:26,647 --> 00:11:28,322
and this ball game is over.

295
00:11:28,322 --> 00:11:31,405
(intense rock music)

296
00:11:32,370 --> 00:11:33,717
Commentator: Hit hard, and Harrah is upward.

297
00:11:33,717 --> 00:11:35,371
And they'll get two.

298
00:11:35,371 --> 00:11:36,362
Commentator: Throw to third base,

299
00:11:36,362 --> 00:11:37,800
they've got him a rundown.

300
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,714
Foote tags him out.

301
00:11:39,714 --> 00:11:42,797
(uptempo rock music)

302
00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:45,990
Commentator: All Kansas City,

303
00:11:45,990 --> 00:11:48,990
as they scuttled the Brewers, 17 to 3.

304
00:11:48,990 --> 00:11:50,820
-: Winning, like losing, is contagious.

305
00:11:50,820 --> 00:11:52,590
You start putting four game losing streaks,

306
00:11:52,590 --> 00:11:54,240
and five losing streaks together.

307
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,239
You go, "Well, what's going on?"

308
00:11:56,239 --> 00:11:57,072
Commentator: Struck him out!

309
00:11:57,072 --> 00:11:57,905
Swing and a miss. Struck him out.

310
00:11:57,905 --> 00:11:58,920
Got him with a breaking ball.

311
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,410
-: It was rough. It just wasn't clicking.

312
00:12:01,410 --> 00:12:03,270
-: Just weren't finding ways to win games.

313
00:12:03,270 --> 00:12:06,464
-: I was getting worried, because I knew how good we were.

314
00:12:06,464 --> 00:12:07,731
Commentator: Hit for extra bases.

315
00:12:07,731 --> 00:12:09,800
Oglivie has trouble playing the carom.

316
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,062
-: We were mediocre.

317
00:12:11,062 --> 00:12:14,520
(discordant guitar music fades)

318
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,860
-: Sometimes, you know, when you have expectations,

319
00:12:16,860 --> 00:12:18,600
there's pressure on people as well.

320
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,370
Commentator: The White Sox kept the Brewers reeling

321
00:12:20,370 --> 00:12:22,260
by a 13 to 2 count.

322
00:12:22,260 --> 00:12:24,443
-: I think it was kind of a disgrace last night.

323
00:12:25,313 --> 00:12:27,260
(intense rock music)

324
00:12:27,260 --> 00:12:29,010
Reporter: The Milwaukee Brewers seem to be going nowhere.

325
00:12:29,010 --> 00:12:30,900
They're in sixth place, six games out.

326
00:12:30,900 --> 00:12:33,240
-: Buck Rodgers wanted to establish

327
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,130
some kind of identity to that team.

328
00:12:35,130 --> 00:12:36,780
-: The group of guys that we had,

329
00:12:36,780 --> 00:12:39,390
they just kind of wanted to go out and play.

330
00:12:39,390 --> 00:12:41,820
-: We kind of needed a free reign.

331
00:12:41,820 --> 00:12:44,070
And Buck just was the opposite a little bit.

332
00:12:44,070 --> 00:12:47,490
-: He was an old-schooler, and Buck had his way.

333
00:12:47,490 --> 00:12:49,920
-: He really wanted to put a stamp on that team.

334
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,493
And I don't think that team needed Buck's stamp.

335
00:12:55,046 --> 00:12:56,416
(crowd booing)

336
00:12:56,416 --> 00:12:58,370
-: Ah...

337
00:12:58,370 --> 00:12:59,940
(crowd boos)
(intense rock music)

338
00:12:59,940 --> 00:13:01,753
Commentator: And there's Gorman Thomas in the bench.

339
00:13:01,753 --> 00:13:02,823
A little frustrated.

340
00:13:04,023 --> 00:13:08,610
(intense rock music continues)

341
00:13:08,610 --> 00:13:10,470
-: If expectations are high,

342
00:13:10,470 --> 00:13:13,050
and you don't meet those expectations right away,

343
00:13:13,050 --> 00:13:15,303
now people start asking questions.

344
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:17,340
Reporter: The Brewers have lost

345
00:13:17,340 --> 00:13:18,927
14 of their last 21 games,

346
00:13:18,927 --> 00:13:20,733
and have played without any spirit.

347
00:13:22,140 --> 00:13:23,800
Reporter: The Brewers are a game under .500,

348
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,060
seven games out of first place in the American League East.

349
00:13:27,060 --> 00:13:28,314
-: Do better.

350
00:13:28,314 --> 00:13:29,147
Do better.

351
00:13:30,174 --> 00:13:31,795
(uptempo rock music fades)

352
00:13:31,795 --> 00:13:33,300
-: I didn't talk a whole lot to Buck,

353
00:13:33,300 --> 00:13:35,580
and I think there was a little more tension in the clubhouse

354
00:13:35,580 --> 00:13:38,400
with the lineup and the changes that he made.

355
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,280
-: Buck Rodgers was trying to tell me how to throw my slider.

356
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,040
I told him, "Hey, Skip, forget it, man.

357
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:44,873
I'm not going to listen to you."

358
00:13:44,873 --> 00:13:46,980
-: A lot of the veterans were getting upset with him.

359
00:13:46,980 --> 00:13:49,290
-: It's tough to fire 25 ball players,

360
00:13:49,290 --> 00:13:51,210
and it's a lot easier to fire one manager,

361
00:13:51,210 --> 00:13:52,560
as that's the way it's always been.

362
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:57,560
-: It doesn't mean Buck was bad, it's just time for a change.

363
00:13:57,570 --> 00:14:00,720
-: Harry felt that a change at this time was needed.

364
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,080
We have a club that we feel is much better than it's played.

365
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,370
-: Once I made the decision that I felt

366
00:14:05,370 --> 00:14:06,390
a change had to be made,

367
00:14:06,390 --> 00:14:07,940
I didn't see any sense to wait.

368
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,730
-: The Milwaukee Brewers today fired manager Buck Rodgers,

369
00:14:11,730 --> 00:14:14,280
replaced him on an interim basis with coach Harvey Kuenn.

370
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,241
Now it's up to Harvey Kuenn to try to turn things around.

371
00:14:17,241 --> 00:14:18,360
Reporter: You think you can turn this thing around?

372
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,740
-: I certainly hope so.

373
00:14:19,740 --> 00:14:21,482
I'm gonna give it my best.

374
00:14:21,482 --> 00:14:24,570
(upbeat jazzy music)

375
00:14:24,570 --> 00:14:26,460
-: Harvey, you know, he'd been in the organization

376
00:14:26,460 --> 00:14:28,410
since day one of my career,

377
00:14:28,410 --> 00:14:31,440
and everybody knew who Harvey Kuenn was.

378
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,900
Pre-Milwaukee Brewer times,

379
00:14:33,900 --> 00:14:37,020
Harvey Kuenn was a really, really good player.

380
00:14:37,020 --> 00:14:39,120
Bob: Harvey was one of the best hitters

381
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,770
that I've ever seen.

382
00:14:40,770 --> 00:14:44,850
Outstanding shortstop too, in his years with Detroit.

383
00:14:44,850 --> 00:14:46,470
-: Harvey Kuenn won a batting title,

384
00:14:46,470 --> 00:14:48,120
so he could obviously hit,

385
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,280
and he was a local guy, you know?

386
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,960
He's from Milwaukee himself.

387
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,290
-: He was the kind of guy, he's always dressed to the nines.

388
00:14:55,290 --> 00:14:57,390
I mean, just a class guy.

389
00:14:57,390 --> 00:15:00,540
Audrey, his wife, she was just unbelievable.

390
00:15:00,540 --> 00:15:03,926
And they had Caesar's, a place over by the ballpark.

391
00:15:03,926 --> 00:15:05,880
Reporter: The Kuenns home in Milwaukee is three rooms

392
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,520
in the back of this motel and bar.

393
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,400
Harvey married into the place nine years ago.

394
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,755
His wife, Audrey, runs it.

395
00:15:13,755 --> 00:15:15,210
Mike: There's a couple of pool tables there.

396
00:15:15,210 --> 00:15:16,950
They lived upstairs.

397
00:15:16,950 --> 00:15:18,947
When you went over there, it was like being in their home.

398
00:15:18,947 --> 00:15:21,060
It was like being with your whole family.

399
00:15:21,060 --> 00:15:22,980
-: How many managers and their wives

400
00:15:22,980 --> 00:15:27,210
invite their players into their home after games,

401
00:15:27,210 --> 00:15:30,600
and cook you either a late dinner or an early breakfast?

402
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,950
-: Harvey was our hitting coach.

403
00:15:31,950 --> 00:15:34,380
We all talked to him about hitting or whatever.

404
00:15:34,380 --> 00:15:36,690
So, we've got a relationship already.

405
00:15:36,690 --> 00:15:38,490
-: Harvey had a way about him.

406
00:15:38,490 --> 00:15:39,900
He was more like dad.

407
00:15:39,900 --> 00:15:42,120
-: If I had to have had a father,

408
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,130
he would've been a great one to have.

409
00:15:44,130 --> 00:15:46,920
-: We all know and remember that due to his diabetes,

410
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,140
he had one of his legs amputated.

411
00:15:49,140 --> 00:15:54,140
And he didn't wear a prosthesis, he wore a peg.

412
00:15:54,150 --> 00:15:56,370
You know? A wood peg.

413
00:15:56,370 --> 00:15:59,100
And so he was back in his office, in the clubhouse,

414
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:00,840
and we're all sitting down in front of our locker,

415
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,243
and all of a sudden we hear this.

416
00:16:03,243 --> 00:16:05,370
(foot stomps)
(soft drum music)

417
00:16:05,370 --> 00:16:09,360
He's up, and he's coming into the clubhouse room,

418
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,540
and he's clomping his way, just like I'm doing now.

419
00:16:12,540 --> 00:16:16,680
And he finally gets in the center of the room, and he stops.

420
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,050
And he turns to each and every one of us,

421
00:16:19,050 --> 00:16:24,000
and he says, "Boys, I just have two things to say.

422
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,910
Number one, I hate meetings.

423
00:16:26,910 --> 00:16:31,041
Number two, this meeting's over."

424
00:16:31,041 --> 00:16:32,310
(uptempo bass music)
(foot stomps)

425
00:16:32,310 --> 00:16:34,320
And off he goes, peg legging his way

426
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,880
back to his office, man.

427
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,514
And we all looked at each other, and we said...

428
00:16:38,514 --> 00:16:40,650
All right, man! (laughs)

429
00:16:40,650 --> 00:16:43,440
He's got the most veteran team that ever existed

430
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,540
since the '27 Yankees, right?

431
00:16:45,540 --> 00:16:47,670
And that's how he addressed it.

432
00:16:47,670 --> 00:16:51,960
The best meeting speech from any manager

433
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,150
I ever heard in my entire life.

434
00:16:54,150 --> 00:16:54,983
And that's what he said.

435
00:16:54,983 --> 00:16:56,310
-: He says, "Hey, look.

436
00:16:56,310 --> 00:16:58,320
You guys know how to play.

437
00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,790
Just relax.

438
00:16:59,790 --> 00:17:01,920
There's no pressure. Go play."

439
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,657
-: It was easy to hear something like that.

440
00:17:03,657 --> 00:17:05,940
And that's from a player who was a good player.

441
00:17:05,940 --> 00:17:08,247
-: He was the right guy at the right time.

442
00:17:08,247 --> 00:17:10,050
And that's a fact.

443
00:17:10,050 --> 00:17:13,380
-: And boom, here we go. Off and running.

444
00:17:13,380 --> 00:17:15,180
Reporter: After a month long slump,

445
00:17:15,180 --> 00:17:18,380

(bats cracking)

447
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:22,350
Leading the way was new manager, Harvey Kuenn.

448
00:17:22,350 --> 00:17:23,885

It was like a new lease on life.

All for one, one for all.

530
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:09,570
Shoot, fire, rock.

531
00:20:09,570 --> 00:20:11,040
Commentator: A two run homer from Molly,

532
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,937
and the 7 to 6 victory for the first place Brewers.

533
00:20:13,937 --> 00:20:17,040
Cecil: It was just an incredible energy in the city.

534
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,530
Robin: The tailgates got bigger and bigger,

535
00:20:19,530 --> 00:20:21,433
and you could feel the atmosphere growing.

536
00:20:21,433 --> 00:20:22,620
(crowd cheers)

537
00:20:22,620 --> 00:20:23,880
-: I remember looking in the stands,

538
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,070
and the stands would be stuffed with people.

539
00:20:26,070 --> 00:20:28,500
-: The fans were excited, we were excited.

540
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:30,180
-: I couldn't wait to get to the ballpark.

541
00:20:30,180 --> 00:20:31,350
-: Everyone's going crazy.

542
00:20:31,350 --> 00:20:32,670
I mean, the fans are going nuts.

543
00:20:32,670 --> 00:20:35,760
-: There's nothing better than a whole city cheering for you.

544
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,612
-: Old County Stadium was rocking.

545
00:20:37,612 --> 00:20:38,445
(crowd cheers)

546
00:20:38,445 --> 00:20:40,260
-: They were all just excited as we were.

547
00:20:40,260 --> 00:20:42,060
-: The fans were fired up.

548
00:20:42,060 --> 00:20:42,990
Oh, it was really fun.

549
00:20:42,990 --> 00:20:44,837
-: You're in the wrong seat, buddy. Come on.

550
00:20:44,837 --> 00:20:46,839
-: Oh. I must be in the front row.

Reporter: On June 2nd of this year,

556
00:21:00,237 --> 00:21:02,070
the Milwaukee Brewers were struggling.

557
00:21:02,070 --> 00:21:04,857
Now that same ball club is 20 games above .500,

558
00:21:04,857 --> 00:21:07,857
and is showing the best offense in the major leagues.

559
00:21:07,857 --> 00:21:11,575

562
00:21:17,670 --> 00:21:19,950
-: No one ever said their real name in the clubhouse.

563
00:21:19,950 --> 00:21:20,970
Everybody had a nickname.

564
00:21:20,970 --> 00:21:22,380
-: All right, I'll go from the start.

565
00:21:22,380 --> 00:21:23,213
Cecil...

566
00:21:23,213 --> 00:21:24,046
Speaker: We called him Coop.

567
00:21:24,046 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker: Coop.

568
00:21:24,879 --> 00:21:25,895
Speaker: Coop.

569
00:21:25,895 --> 00:21:26,790
(bat cracks)

570
00:21:26,790 --> 00:21:28,980
-: I called him "Monseigneur No Fro".

571
00:21:28,980 --> 00:21:32,100
Because he was kind of bald-ish, he had no fro.

572
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:33,330
Then you got Simba.

573
00:21:33,330 --> 00:21:35,706
Speaker: Ted Simmons was Simba.

574
00:21:35,706 --> 00:21:37,470
-: Like a cat, he was always alert,

575
00:21:37,470 --> 00:21:38,805
and he could throw the baseball.

576
00:21:38,805 --> 00:21:40,078
Commentator: In time!

577
00:21:40,078 --> 00:21:40,911
(crowd cheers)

578
00:21:40,911 --> 00:21:42,180
-: Then you got Robin, you know.

579
00:21:42,180 --> 00:21:45,240
He was more the the clean-cut kid.

580
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,200
-: If I had a son, I would like to have him been Robin Yount.

581
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,613
Molitor: Peter Dennis Vuckovich.

582
00:21:50,613 --> 00:21:51,735
Slaton: We just called him Vuke.

583
00:21:51,735 --> 00:21:52,568
Yount: Vuke.

584
00:21:52,568 --> 00:21:53,864
Gorman: Vuke.

585
00:21:53,864 --> 00:21:54,697
(crowd chants)

586
00:21:54,697 --> 00:21:56,370
-: You got Spike in centerfield. Gorman.

587
00:21:56,370 --> 00:21:57,420
Rollie: Gorman was Spike.

588
00:21:57,420 --> 00:21:59,760
Mike: Spike is the perfect name for Gorman Thomas.

589
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:00,810
The bulldog.

590
00:22:00,810 --> 00:22:04,410
Looks like one, plays like one, acts like one.

591
00:22:04,410 --> 00:22:06,270
-: Paulie was Paul Molitor.

592
00:22:06,270 --> 00:22:08,130
Gorman: Upstairs, they call him "The Ignitor".

593
00:22:08,130 --> 00:22:10,440
-: I never really liked "The Ignitor" for myself,

594
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,410
but Pete Vuckovich called me "Doc".

595
00:22:12,410 --> 00:22:13,993
-: He asked me, "Why'd you call me Doc?"

596
00:22:13,993 --> 00:22:17,520
I said, "Because doctors get paid to take care of business.

597
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,247
And you take care of business."

598
00:22:19,247 --> 00:22:20,130
(bat cracks)
(upbeat music)

599
00:22:20,130 --> 00:22:22,013
Gorman: Then you got Moose.

600
00:22:22,013 --> 00:22:25,170
Slaton: "Cato", because he was in martial arts.

601
00:22:25,170 --> 00:22:26,525
-: Boom-schwip-wah!

602
00:22:26,525 --> 00:22:27,797
(bat cracks)

603
00:22:27,797 --> 00:22:30,450
-: Ben Oglivie, his nickname was "Spiderman".

604
00:22:30,450 --> 00:22:32,250
-: He could have worn that Spiderman suit.

605
00:22:32,250 --> 00:22:33,720
He had the body type for it,

606
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,737
and he backed it up with what he would do on the field.

607
00:22:36,737 --> 00:22:39,518
Mike: I know Rollie was "Fat Waldo".

608
00:22:39,518 --> 00:22:40,410
(Rollie laughs)

609
00:22:40,410 --> 00:22:42,960
-: Kinda like Fat Albert, well, we called him Fat Waldo.

610
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,400
-: Yeah, I usually got on the clubhouse guy

611
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,840
if we didn't have donuts.

612
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,280
-: Well, obviously Pops, right?

613
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:48,210
Gorman: Pops we called him.

614
00:22:48,210 --> 00:22:50,128
Slaton: And then it went to "Geeze".

615
00:22:50,128 --> 00:22:52,090
-: It's still Geeze today, as a matter of fact.

616
00:22:52,090 --> 00:22:53,370
Mike: Gumby got his name

617
00:22:53,370 --> 00:22:56,490
because just different idiotic things that he would say.

618
00:22:56,490 --> 00:22:57,990
Molitor: We call 'em Gumby-isms.

619
00:22:57,990 --> 00:23:01,380
-: One day we're in Kansas City, look across the field.

620
00:23:01,380 --> 00:23:04,200
George Brett is playing catch left-handed.

621
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,970
Well, anybody that knows George Brett

622
00:23:05,970 --> 00:23:07,410
knows he hit left-handed,

623
00:23:07,410 --> 00:23:09,630
but he was a right-handed fielder thrower.

624
00:23:09,630 --> 00:23:14,630
Gumby says, "I didn't know that George was amphibious!"

625
00:23:14,910 --> 00:23:16,590
And he's dead serious.

626
00:23:16,590 --> 00:23:17,430
-: Charlie Moore?

627
00:23:17,430 --> 00:23:18,937
Oh my god.

628
00:23:18,937 --> 00:23:21,660
"Little Midget", you know. (laughs)

629
00:23:21,660 --> 00:23:23,700
-: And then Caldwell...

630
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:25,430
There was too many of 'em.

631
00:23:25,430 --> 00:23:26,760
Mike: He was the "Sea Pig".

632
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,310
Simmons used to call him "The Dark Cloud", I think.

633
00:23:29,310 --> 00:23:30,360
John: Storm Damage.

634
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:33,060
Slaton: Garbage Disposal, Ball Bearing.

635
00:23:33,060 --> 00:23:36,926
-: I affectionately to him as "Battery Acid".

636
00:23:36,926 --> 00:23:38,218
(Simmons laughs)

637
00:23:38,218 --> 00:23:39,060
(Mike laughs)

638
00:23:39,060 --> 00:23:40,372
-: He deserved every one of them.

639
00:23:40,372 --> 00:23:41,929
(Moose laughs)

640
00:23:41,929 --> 00:23:44,280
(upbeat rock music fades)

641
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,570
Gorman: One night we were in Boston,

642
00:23:45,570 --> 00:23:47,850
and the place was called Daisy Buchanan's.

643
00:23:47,850 --> 00:23:51,150
-: We closed the place down, and Uecker was with us.

644
00:23:51,150 --> 00:23:54,660
-: No matter where it was, I was with 'em all the time.

645
00:23:54,660 --> 00:23:58,020
-: It's about two, maybe three o'clock in the morning.

646
00:23:58,020 --> 00:24:00,523
Uecker looks at his watch, he says, "We gotta get back,

647
00:24:00,523 --> 00:24:02,070
I want everybody on the side street,

648
00:24:02,070 --> 00:24:03,570
we're gonna walk back together."

649
00:24:03,570 --> 00:24:05,250
And you had a partner.

650
00:24:05,250 --> 00:24:07,863
I don't think anybody knew who their partner was either.

651
00:24:07,863 --> 00:24:08,696
(Gorman chuckles)

652
00:24:08,696 --> 00:24:11,010
-: And Uecker led the parade down the middle of town.

653
00:24:11,010 --> 00:24:12,825
Ueck's in the front.

654
00:24:12,825 --> 00:24:14,670
(whistles) Here we go.

655
00:24:14,670 --> 00:24:17,310
He starts walking like the majorette, right?

656
00:24:17,310 --> 00:24:19,290
-: Be hollering out, "Stay in your own groups!

657
00:24:19,290 --> 00:24:20,370
Stay in your own groups!"

658
00:24:20,370 --> 00:24:22,523
And just single file, right down the middle of the road,

659
00:24:22,523 --> 00:24:23,910
back to the hotel.

660
00:24:23,910 --> 00:24:25,830
-: And we would march home.

661
00:24:25,830 --> 00:24:28,710
-: And all of a sudden, woo!

662
00:24:28,710 --> 00:24:32,797
Out of the alley, here comes a cop on a horse.

663
00:24:32,797 --> 00:24:33,930
"Who in the hell?

664
00:24:33,930 --> 00:24:36,276
Hey, Bob, what's up!"

665
00:24:36,276 --> 00:24:37,661
-: Are you Bob Uecker?

666
00:24:37,661 --> 00:24:38,620
-: Yeah, how you doin'?

667
00:24:38,620 --> 00:24:42,000
-: "Gee, I'm just going back to the hotel with the boys.

668
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,070
Wanna make sure they get there, you know, safely."

669
00:24:44,070 --> 00:24:46,560
The cop says, "Got it better.

670
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,090
Follow behind me."

671
00:24:48,090 --> 00:24:50,730
So now we got the cop going down the middle of the road.

672
00:24:50,730 --> 00:24:53,710
-: It's a miracle we didn't all go to jail. (laughs)

673
00:24:53,710 --> 00:24:57,043
(upbeat marching music)

674
00:24:58,030 --> 00:25:01,620
(people clapping)

675
00:25:01,620 --> 00:25:04,380
Bud: In August, Harry traded for Don Sutton.

676
00:25:04,380 --> 00:25:06,030
-: I do think we've traded ourselves

677
00:25:06,030 --> 00:25:08,400
into a stronger ball club than we had yesterday.

678
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,830
He's won 250 some games in the majors.

679
00:25:10,830 --> 00:25:11,790
He knows how to pitch.

680
00:25:11,790 --> 00:25:14,070
He keeps himself in top physical condition.

681
00:25:14,070 --> 00:25:17,700
-: I hope that I can justify the faith

682
00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:19,020
that Mr. Dalton's placed in me,

683
00:25:19,020 --> 00:25:21,900
and hopefully I can fit in here and do a good job for him.

684
00:25:21,900 --> 00:25:23,130
That's all I wanna do.

685
00:25:23,130 --> 00:25:25,200
-: Don was a good guy to have on the team.

686
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,487
Every time I looked at him, it was like,

687
00:25:27,487 --> 00:25:29,610
"Well, the Brewers really trying to win this damn thing,

688
00:25:29,610 --> 00:25:30,443
so let's go get 'em."

689
00:25:30,443 --> 00:25:32,160
-: Another one of those intelligent guys

690
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,060
that had a game plan.

691
00:25:33,060 --> 00:25:34,380
Always had a game plan.

692
00:25:34,380 --> 00:25:35,460
-: He had been there.

693
00:25:35,460 --> 00:25:36,835
-: He'd been there before.

694
00:25:36,835 --> 00:25:37,860
-: And he brought in tons of experience,

695
00:25:37,860 --> 00:25:39,540
and we loved the trade.

696
00:25:39,540 --> 00:25:41,040
-: How could you not like it, man?

697
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,330
Dino could pitch.

698
00:25:42,330 --> 00:25:45,450
He could make the baseball do things that

699
00:25:45,450 --> 00:25:46,710
they weren't meant to do.

700
00:25:46,710 --> 00:25:49,440
-: Don Sutton had a big time curveball.

701
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,060
Man, he had a great curveball.

702
00:25:51,060 --> 00:25:52,980
And he had Ted Simmons catching.

703
00:25:52,980 --> 00:25:55,650
-: Sutton was on his way to the Hall of Fame, clearly.

704
00:25:55,650 --> 00:25:58,860
He was approaching 300 wins while he was with us.

705
00:25:58,860 --> 00:26:00,360
-: Well, he was a superstar.

706
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:02,280
-: This time of the year is what you work all year for.

707
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:03,900
It's what you work your whole career for.

708
00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:05,970
Maybe since you start having the dreams as a kid

709
00:26:05,970 --> 00:26:07,320
to play in the major leagues.

710
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:08,760
I think I'm at a stage in my career

711
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,040
where I don't have that many more years to play,

712
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,293
and I think to be able to go to a ball club

713
00:26:13,293 --> 00:26:14,940
that is a pennant race,

714
00:26:14,940 --> 00:26:16,530
one of my lifelong ambitions

715
00:26:16,530 --> 00:26:17,850
is to be on a World Series winner.

716
00:26:17,850 --> 00:26:19,350
-: He was definitely different.

717
00:26:19,350 --> 00:26:22,650
You know, he wasn't the beer guzzling, you know,

718
00:26:22,650 --> 00:26:25,830
sloppy looking player that most of our guys were.

719
00:26:25,830 --> 00:26:26,880
Mike: I think Don came in,

720
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,770
and showed everybody what a real professional

721
00:26:28,770 --> 00:26:31,560
ball player from a solid organization was like.

722
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,380
He came in dressed in a three-piece suit every day.

723
00:26:34,380 --> 00:26:36,630
-: When it was his turn to pitch,

724
00:26:36,630 --> 00:26:40,308
you knew that we were gonna have a chance.

725
00:26:40,308 --> 00:26:43,300
(mellow drum music)

726
00:26:43,300 --> 00:26:46,110
-: I was okay up until right around the 1st of September,

727
00:26:46,110 --> 00:26:50,730
and we were playing Cleveland, and I had threw a pitch,

728
00:26:50,730 --> 00:26:54,360
and kind of a burning sensation in my elbow.

729
00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:56,070
And I didn't know what it was,

730
00:26:56,070 --> 00:26:59,640
so I let up on my next two or three pitches that I threw

731
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,380
to see if it'd go away,

732
00:27:01,380 --> 00:27:03,213
and the pain was just getting worse.

733
00:27:04,050 --> 00:27:06,570
The next day, I had like a bruise mark

734
00:27:06,570 --> 00:27:10,860
right below my elbow here, like I'd ruptured something.

735
00:27:10,860 --> 00:27:12,990
-: We didn't realize that it was gonna be that bad.

736
00:27:12,990 --> 00:27:15,370
We thought maybe it's just tired, sore, something like that.

737
00:27:15,370 --> 00:27:18,420
-: Well, I mean, you're always down a little bit

738
00:27:18,420 --> 00:27:21,630
when one of your key guys goes out like that.

739
00:27:21,630 --> 00:27:23,310
But you're always hoping that he could come back.

740
00:27:23,310 --> 00:27:28,310
-: The longer we went in September, the more reality set in.

741
00:27:28,380 --> 00:27:30,570
-: I would just get up in the morning and I'd go like this,

742
00:27:30,570 --> 00:27:32,340
and pull my arm forward,

743
00:27:32,340 --> 00:27:35,190
and it was just like a knife stuck right in here.

744
00:27:35,190 --> 00:27:37,260
And it just wouldn't go away.

745
00:27:37,260 --> 00:27:40,140
-: So we knew, unless he had, you know,

746
00:27:40,140 --> 00:27:42,720
a miraculous kind of recovery,

747
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,250
that he's just not gonna be there.

748
00:27:44,250 --> 00:27:47,430
-: You can never replace a Rollie Fingers.

749
00:27:47,430 --> 00:27:50,880
You know, he's one of the greatest relievers of all time.

750
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,195
-: That was tough.

751
00:27:52,195 --> 00:27:53,250
(tense music)

752
00:27:53,250 --> 00:27:56,100
-: Heading down the stretch, we were a confident team,

753
00:27:56,100 --> 00:27:58,320
but when you're getting down to the last handful of games,

754
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,473
and you haven't clinched it yet, you can feel it.

755
00:28:02,430 --> 00:28:04,230
I wouldn't say that we were lacking confidence

756
00:28:04,230 --> 00:28:05,340
that it was gonna happen,

757
00:28:05,340 --> 00:28:09,150
but everyone gets a little anxious to clinch.

758
00:28:09,150 --> 00:28:11,880
And you know, Baltimore wasn't making it easy.

759
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,670
Reporter: If the Orioles sweep the Brewers

760
00:28:13,670 --> 00:28:15,720
in their four game series this weekend,

761
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,730
they will win the American League East.

762
00:28:17,730 --> 00:28:19,530
-: You know what this is right here?

763
00:28:19,530 --> 00:28:20,363
-: A cord.

764
00:28:20,363 --> 00:28:22,830
-: No, that is the wire that we are down to.

765
00:28:22,830 --> 00:28:26,730
-: Then we come down to the last series against Baltimore.

766
00:28:26,730 --> 00:28:28,740
We're three up with four to play.

767
00:28:28,740 --> 00:28:30,330
All we had to do was win one game.

768
00:28:30,330 --> 00:28:33,510
-: So we're figuring, "Oh, we can win one game outta four."

769
00:28:33,510 --> 00:28:34,470
We hope.

770
00:28:34,470 --> 00:28:35,880
-: You know, we knew it was gonna be difficult.

771
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,730
You know, we were on somewhat of a slide,

772
00:28:38,730 --> 00:28:41,670
and I'm sure that gave them even more confidence.

773
00:28:41,670 --> 00:28:44,700
-: It was a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, but four games.

774
00:28:44,700 --> 00:28:46,860
Friday night was a double header.

775
00:28:46,860 --> 00:28:49,470
I don't wanna sound arrogant about it,

776
00:28:49,470 --> 00:28:51,780
but we knew we were a pretty good team.

777
00:28:51,780 --> 00:28:53,550
I don't think anybody thought

778
00:28:53,550 --> 00:28:55,200
they could beat us four straight.

779
00:28:56,461 --> 00:28:58,961
(tense music)

780
00:29:00,750 --> 00:29:03,210
-: That series in Baltimore.

781
00:29:03,210 --> 00:29:04,770
It's for all the marbles, right?

782
00:29:04,770 --> 00:29:05,603
And Baltimore was good.

783
00:29:05,603 --> 00:29:07,290
They had a good club.

784
00:29:07,290 --> 00:29:08,970
-: When we went to the ballpark,

785
00:29:08,970 --> 00:29:10,860
the stadium was already filled up with people

786
00:29:10,860 --> 00:29:12,060
during batting practice.

787
00:29:12,060 --> 00:29:14,070
I mean, getting on us, yelling.

788
00:29:14,070 --> 00:29:16,230
I mean, it was just electric.

789
00:29:16,230 --> 00:29:18,720
-: Earl Weaver, the manager of the Orioles,

790
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,540
has announced his retirement at the end of the season.

791
00:29:21,540 --> 00:29:25,860
So, you know, this is starting to get pretty dramatic,

792
00:29:25,860 --> 00:29:28,710
you know, and "Oh, wouldn't this be a great way

793
00:29:28,710 --> 00:29:31,183
for Earl to go out and watch..."

794
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,930
Well, we didn't think it would be that great a way

795
00:29:33,930 --> 00:29:35,364
for Earl to go out.

796
00:29:35,364 --> 00:29:36,197
(static hisses)

797
00:29:36,197 --> 00:29:37,710
Reporter: Baltimore kept their hopes alive

798
00:29:37,710 --> 00:29:40,020
by winning the first game, the final 8 to 3.

799
00:29:40,020 --> 00:29:42,840
Baltimore now two games behind Milwaukee.

800
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,010
Reporter: Now to the second game.

801
00:29:44,010 --> 00:29:45,420
Boom, that's Eddie Murray!

802
00:29:45,420 --> 00:29:47,040
In the first, 2 to 0, Orioles.

803
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,440
Then in the second, Lenn Sakata, home run to left,

804
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:50,970
4 to 0, Orioles.

805
00:29:50,970 --> 00:29:52,670
-: Vuckovich and I both got beat in a double header.

806
00:29:52,670 --> 00:29:54,540
-: Yeah, I got my butt kicked.

807
00:29:54,540 --> 00:29:56,220
-: Ah, big deal. We're still up a game.

808
00:29:56,220 --> 00:29:57,303
We'll win tomorrow.

809
00:29:58,493 --> 00:30:00,972
(standings board clicks)

810
00:30:00,972 --> 00:30:03,390
(tense music)

811
00:30:03,390 --> 00:30:07,110
-: Saturday, not much different than Friday.

812
00:30:07,110 --> 00:30:09,150
Reporter: The birds of Baltimore routed the Brewers

813
00:30:09,150 --> 00:30:10,950
as Milwaukee self-destructed.

814
00:30:10,950 --> 00:30:13,890
This error by Paul Molitor helped Baltimore

815
00:30:13,890 --> 00:30:16,140
tie the Brew Boys for first place.

816
00:30:16,140 --> 00:30:18,810
-: I made a couple of errors, and it didn't feel good.

817
00:30:18,810 --> 00:30:21,570
-: We went into Baltimore, all we had to do was win one game.

818
00:30:21,570 --> 00:30:25,170
Boom, boom, boom.

819
00:30:25,170 --> 00:30:27,030
We lose the first three.

820
00:30:27,030 --> 00:30:28,566
What the hell happened?

821
00:30:28,566 --> 00:30:31,899
(tense music continues)

822
00:30:34,870 --> 00:30:38,287
(standings board clicks)

823
00:30:40,950 --> 00:30:42,570
-: Went in there with a three game lead,

824
00:30:42,570 --> 00:30:44,790
and blew a double header on Friday night,

825
00:30:44,790 --> 00:30:46,410
and another game on Saturday,

826
00:30:46,410 --> 00:30:50,550
and I was ready to jump off a bridge Saturday night.

827
00:30:50,550 --> 00:30:53,880
-: It ain't looking good, after the first three games.

828
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,460
-: The guys come in after dropping that game,

829
00:30:56,460 --> 00:30:58,170
and some guys are screaming.

830
00:30:58,170 --> 00:30:59,733
-: When I got back to the hotel,

831
00:31:00,630 --> 00:31:04,117
I had calls from friends and family.

832
00:31:04,117 --> 00:31:06,150
"What are you guys doing?"

833
00:31:06,150 --> 00:31:07,650
-: I think the problem was is that

834
00:31:07,650 --> 00:31:09,750
we came out of our routine.

835
00:31:09,750 --> 00:31:13,860
After the game, you know, ah, we have a beer.

836
00:31:13,860 --> 00:31:17,310
So I said, "Boys, this ain't been working.

837
00:31:17,310 --> 00:31:18,780
Let's go have a cold one."

838
00:31:18,780 --> 00:31:21,195
-: We finished off a fifth of Jack Daniels.

839
00:31:21,195 --> 00:31:22,440
(Charlie laughs)

840
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,260
-: We made it a little more difficult on ourselves

841
00:31:25,260 --> 00:31:26,490
than we would've liked.

842
00:31:26,490 --> 00:31:28,740
-: And everybody's saying, "Oh god, they're gonna blow it.

843
00:31:28,740 --> 00:31:29,700
Oh god, they're gonna blow it.

844
00:31:29,700 --> 00:31:30,750
Oh, geez."

845
00:31:30,750 --> 00:31:32,280
Now, we're saying, "Well, Jesus Christ,

846
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:33,480
we're gonna blow it!"

847
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,220
Reporter: The Brewers, who have been flat lately,

848
00:31:35,220 --> 00:31:37,947
will send Don Sutton out against Jim Palmer

849
00:31:37,947 --> 00:31:39,783
for the American League East pennant tomorrow.

850
00:31:39,783 --> 00:31:42,090
-: When we went into Baltimore win in one game,

851
00:31:42,090 --> 00:31:45,003
I bet you the odds makers said it was pretty good.

852
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,000
Come Sunday...

853
00:31:48,030 --> 00:31:50,123
I don't think the odds would've been good at all.

854
00:31:51,565 --> 00:31:52,950
(soft music)

855
00:31:52,950 --> 00:31:55,920
-: I had never spoken to the team as a team before.

856
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,210
And it was a very brief speech.

857
00:31:57,210 --> 00:32:00,780
I just told 'em all I had lived with them, loved them,

858
00:32:00,780 --> 00:32:03,243
grown up with 'em, wished them well,

859
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,360
and just do the best you can today.

860
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,280
I'm with you, no matter what.

861
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,493
-: The Sunday morning, everyone's out on the field.

862
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,760
Sutton comes in, I just look at him,

863
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,130
I said, "Hey, man...

864
00:32:17,130 --> 00:32:18,600
Go get 'em."

865
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,400
And he looks back at me and he goes,

866
00:32:22,387 --> 00:32:25,797
"I'm gonna pitch the game of my life out there."

867
00:32:26,903 --> 00:32:29,626
(soft music fades)

868
00:32:29,626 --> 00:32:31,018
(catchy theme music)

869
00:32:31,018 --> 00:32:32,617
-: ABC Sports presents...

870
00:32:32,617 --> 00:32:35,413
"Sunday Afternoon Baseball."

871
00:32:35,413 --> 00:32:37,950
All the drama you could ask for!

872
00:32:37,950 --> 00:32:40,830
And good afternoon, everybody. I'm Keith Jackson.

873
00:32:40,830 --> 00:32:43,530
When the Milwaukee Brewers came to Baltimore

874
00:32:43,530 --> 00:32:46,860
to play the final four games of the 1982 season,

875
00:32:46,860 --> 00:32:50,940
they had only to win one to clinch the American League East.

876
00:32:50,940 --> 00:32:52,560
They have not been able to do it.

877
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,690
-: There was just so much around that.

878
00:32:54,690 --> 00:32:57,480
Brewers trying to, you know, win outright.

879
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,520
Earl Weaver announcing his retirement.

880
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,740
So, it was gonna be his last season,

881
00:33:01,740 --> 00:33:04,200
whether it ended that Sunday or into the postseason.

882
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,350
-: That's a baseball storybook finish for some people.

883
00:33:07,350 --> 00:33:09,060
Keith: And thus you have this afternoon,

884
00:33:09,060 --> 00:33:10,860
quite a remarkable circumstance

885
00:33:10,860 --> 00:33:13,470
with World Series or playoff flare.

886
00:33:13,470 --> 00:33:15,780
It is a wall to wall sell out.

887
00:33:15,780 --> 00:33:18,630
-: It's hard to imagine 162 games coming down to one game,

888
00:33:18,630 --> 00:33:20,216
but we'll give it our best shot,

889
00:33:20,216 --> 00:33:23,040
and have to deal with the results, whatever they may be.

890
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,350
-: We had to find a way to win, or we were going home.

891
00:33:25,350 --> 00:33:29,283
-: I would say that what surprised me a lot was the broom.

892
00:33:30,420 --> 00:33:31,542
You know, letting us know,

893
00:33:31,542 --> 00:33:32,375
this was gonna be a sweep.

894
00:33:32,375 --> 00:33:33,540
It's the last game.

895
00:33:33,540 --> 00:33:34,920
-: Everybody had a broom sign,

896
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,782
and there was brooms in the stands, you know.

897
00:33:37,782 --> 00:33:39,720
(crowd chants)

898
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,220
They figured they're gonna beat us.

899
00:33:41,220 --> 00:33:42,990
-: They had a guy, what's his name?

900
00:33:42,990 --> 00:33:46,020
The mascot, Wild Bill, or something.

901
00:33:46,020 --> 00:33:47,790
And he's got brooms everywhere.

902
00:33:47,790 --> 00:33:49,470
On the dugouts and, you know.

903
00:33:49,470 --> 00:33:52,633
So, yeah, we definitely felt the broom thing going on.

904
00:33:52,633 --> 00:33:54,480
-: And let me just say this,

905
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,030
and there's no need to build up the superb nature

906
00:33:57,030 --> 00:33:58,650
of this pitching matchup either.

907
00:33:58,650 --> 00:34:00,150
It speaks for itself.

908
00:34:00,150 --> 00:34:03,330
Don Sutton, 257 career victories.

909
00:34:03,330 --> 00:34:07,650
The opponent, Jim Palmer, 263 career victories.

910
00:34:07,650 --> 00:34:09,750
Both pitchers clearly destined

911
00:34:09,750 --> 00:34:11,934
for the Baseball Hall of Fame.

912
00:34:11,934 --> 00:34:14,250
(intense music)

913
00:34:14,250 --> 00:34:16,980
-: You know, this game is made for the ages, right?

914
00:34:16,980 --> 00:34:17,813
You know?

915
00:34:17,813 --> 00:34:19,110
Final game of the season,

916
00:34:19,110 --> 00:34:22,653
Sutton versus Palmer for all the marbles.

917
00:34:22,653 --> 00:34:24,660
(intense music continues)

918
00:34:24,660 --> 00:34:26,850
-: Palmer versus Sutton. Think about that.

919
00:34:26,850 --> 00:34:29,250
You're down to the last game of the year.

920
00:34:29,250 --> 00:34:30,870
Speaker: Palmer and Sutton were identical,

921
00:34:30,870 --> 00:34:32,040
both Hall of Fame pitchers.

922
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,683
-: As personalities, the two men do have a similarity.

923
00:34:35,683 --> 00:34:38,933
They're about as cool as any pitcher could be

924
00:34:38,933 --> 00:34:41,850
to meet this kind of crisis game.

925
00:34:41,850 --> 00:34:45,180
-: Palmer and Sutton both had four pitches for strike,

926
00:34:45,180 --> 00:34:47,160
and two strikes.

927
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:48,240
It didn't matter who you were,

928
00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:50,174
you were now vulnerable to the strikeout.

929
00:34:50,174 --> 00:34:51,090
(intense music)

930
00:34:51,090 --> 00:34:53,550
Howard: This is a dynamite batting order.

931
00:34:53,550 --> 00:34:57,303
Perhaps the most dangerous in either major league.

932
00:34:58,140 --> 00:35:01,410
-: The emotion that Sunday was unbelievable.

933
00:35:01,410 --> 00:35:04,143
Boy, you talk about pressure. That was pressure.

934
00:35:04,143 --> 00:35:09,143
(intense music)
(crowd cheers)

935
00:35:11,130 --> 00:35:12,420
-: Palmer's always been, you know,

936
00:35:12,420 --> 00:35:14,580
extremely difficult for me, I know.

937
00:35:14,580 --> 00:35:17,580
I haven't had a lot of success, you know, against him.

938
00:35:17,580 --> 00:35:19,530
Howard: And this crowd is going crazy,

939
00:35:19,530 --> 00:35:21,570
as you can hear in the background!

940
00:35:21,570 --> 00:35:24,076
-: That place was rocking.

941
00:35:24,076 --> 00:35:27,810
I mean, that's the loudest I've ever played in.

942
00:35:27,810 --> 00:35:30,840
Keith: Paul Molitor, the third baseman will lead it off,

943
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,260
and two of the most men in the Milwaukee lineup

944
00:35:34,260 --> 00:35:35,610
are hitting one and two.

945
00:35:35,610 --> 00:35:36,570
Molitor and Yount.

946
00:35:36,570 --> 00:35:40,162
Keep 'em off base, you can control the Brewers.

947
00:35:40,162 --> 00:35:44,430
(intense music)
(crowd cheers)

948
00:35:44,430 --> 00:35:46,260
-: We're facing a Hall of Fame pitcher.

949
00:35:46,260 --> 00:35:49,083
A guy who I maybe had one hit out for my career.

950
00:35:50,070 --> 00:35:52,565
Howard: Molitor, a notoriously first ball,

951
00:35:52,565 --> 00:35:53,398
fastball hitter.

952
00:35:53,398 --> 00:35:57,494
Keith: The first pitch is lifted to right, for Jim Dwyer.

953
00:35:57,494 --> 00:35:59,543
He looks up into the high, bright sky,

954
00:35:59,543 --> 00:36:01,287
and makes the catch for out number one.

955
00:36:01,287 --> 00:36:03,630
-: You got your best guys out there,

956
00:36:03,630 --> 00:36:06,337
and they got their best guys out there, right?

957
00:36:06,337 --> 00:36:09,630
Now, Jim Palmer, Robin Yount.

958
00:36:09,630 --> 00:36:11,940
Keith: Now the man that most people figure

959
00:36:11,940 --> 00:36:15,210
the front runner for the MVP award in the American League,

960
00:36:15,210 --> 00:36:17,880
Robin Yount, who has had a remarkable year,

961
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,922
Ted: Palmer was their guy, and Robin, our guy.

962
00:36:21,922 --> 00:36:24,422
(tense music)

963
00:36:25,260 --> 00:36:26,940
-: I hit a lot of balls to right field,

964
00:36:26,940 --> 00:36:27,930
let's put it that way.

965
00:36:27,930 --> 00:36:29,100
I swung late a lot.

966
00:36:29,100 --> 00:36:31,890
Keith: The first two pitches to Yount, fastball,

967
00:36:31,890 --> 00:36:34,367
the last two pitches have been breaking pitches.

968
00:36:34,367 --> 00:36:35,460
(bat cracks)

969
00:36:35,460 --> 00:36:36,900
Keith: In the air to right.

970
00:36:36,900 --> 00:36:40,227
Dwyer, to the corner, to the wall...

971
00:36:40,227 --> 00:36:43,500
Home run for Robin Yount, lifted to the off field!

972
00:36:43,500 --> 00:36:45,900
And the Brewers break on top.

973
00:36:45,900 --> 00:36:48,570
-: Palmer threw me a high fast ball out over the plate,

974
00:36:48,570 --> 00:36:50,880
and I hit it hard, but back here,

975
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,830
but I hit it right in the right spot.

976
00:36:52,830 --> 00:36:55,380
-: Robin got the homer right off.

977
00:36:55,380 --> 00:36:56,580
Bang, right center.

978
00:36:56,580 --> 00:36:57,413
We're up.

979
00:36:57,413 --> 00:37:00,393
Bob: Gone for Robin! The Brewers lead one, nothing.

980
00:37:01,350 --> 00:37:02,910
-: So that was...

981
00:37:02,910 --> 00:37:03,960
That fell pretty good

982
00:37:05,506 --> 00:37:06,339
(bat cracks)
(uptempo rock music)

983
00:37:06,339 --> 00:37:07,513
Keith: On the mound, Don Sutton,

984
00:37:07,513 --> 00:37:09,780
and Sutton misses outside.

985
00:37:09,780 --> 00:37:10,613
A dandy by...

986
00:37:10,613 --> 00:37:12,302
Molitor's throw throws it away!

987
00:37:12,302 --> 00:37:14,090
Gulliver turns and goes to second.

988
00:37:14,090 --> 00:37:15,643
A shot to right! Base hit!

989
00:37:15,643 --> 00:37:17,356
Here's the throw...

990
00:37:17,356 --> 00:37:18,189
He's a dead duck!

991
00:37:18,189 --> 00:37:20,400
Howard: Another sterling throwing effort

992
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,950
by the developing right fielder Charlie Moore.

993
00:37:22,950 --> 00:37:24,870
Keith: Baltimore, wasting an opportunity.

994
00:37:24,870 --> 00:37:26,520
Run comes to the plate and scores.

995
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:27,510
And we played two.

996
00:37:27,510 --> 00:37:29,850
Milwaukee on top by a score of two to nothing,

997
00:37:29,850 --> 00:37:31,500
as we go to the top of the third inning.

998
00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:33,690
And Jim Palmer now, second time around

999
00:37:33,690 --> 00:37:35,370
against the Milwaukee hitting order.

1000
00:37:35,370 --> 00:37:37,350
Palmer started Yount with a curveball,

1001
00:37:37,350 --> 00:37:38,494
two and one the count.

1002
00:37:38,494 --> 00:37:39,327
(bat cracks)

1003
00:37:39,327 --> 00:37:40,710
That ball is well hit!

1004
00:37:40,710 --> 00:37:42,527
Deep left field...

1005
00:37:42,527 --> 00:37:43,470
It's gone!

1006
00:37:43,470 --> 00:37:47,670
and Robin Yount has hit successive home runs off Jim Palmer,

1007
00:37:47,670 --> 00:37:50,790
and Milwaukee leads three to nothing.

1008
00:37:50,790 --> 00:37:53,850
Howard: Extraordinary power for a shortstop.

1009
00:37:53,850 --> 00:37:55,830
-: Robin hits two home runs in his first two at bats.

1010
00:37:55,830 --> 00:37:57,660
-: But this one I hit a little better.

1011
00:37:57,660 --> 00:37:59,910
This one I hit to left center,

1012
00:37:59,910 --> 00:38:02,670
and Palmer will probably say the wind was blowing out,

1013
00:38:02,670 --> 00:38:04,290
but that's okay.

1014
00:38:04,290 --> 00:38:05,123
I'll let him.

1015
00:38:05,123 --> 00:38:07,770
Let's face it, those were the two biggest hits

1016
00:38:07,770 --> 00:38:11,310
of my lifetime, under the circumstances.

1017
00:38:11,310 --> 00:38:13,560
So, it felt good.

1018
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,050
But you know, there's still a lot of game left.

1019
00:38:16,050 --> 00:38:18,390
-: Robin gets us off to a great start.

1020
00:38:18,390 --> 00:38:21,030
-: And you give a picture like Sutton the early lead,

1021
00:38:21,030 --> 00:38:22,630
he's gonna try to shut 'em down.

1022
00:38:23,490 --> 00:38:26,190
Keith: Don Sutton at 37 years of age,

1023
00:38:26,190 --> 00:38:29,190
coming over to the Milwaukee Brewers from Houston,

1024
00:38:29,190 --> 00:38:30,630
and a lot of people were surprised

1025
00:38:30,630 --> 00:38:32,283
they could get Don Sutton.

1026
00:38:32,283 --> 00:38:34,170
(intense music)

1027
00:38:34,170 --> 00:38:37,324
Cooper to Sutton, and Bumbry is out.

1028
00:38:37,324 --> 00:38:38,220
(bat cracks)

1029
00:38:38,220 --> 00:38:40,530
A single, and he hits it deep to center field.

1030
00:38:40,530 --> 00:38:43,500
Gorman Thomas, going back, jumps!

1031
00:38:43,500 --> 00:38:44,333
Howard: What a play!

1032
00:38:44,333 --> 00:38:45,960
Keith: Makes the catch as he bangs into the wall.

1033
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,480
Howard: Look at Gorman, sensing where the fence is,

1034
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,250
would've gone in, in my opinion.

1035
00:38:50,250 --> 00:38:52,966
Look at that! Marvelous play.

1036
00:38:52,966 --> 00:38:55,590
(intense music)

1037
00:38:55,590 --> 00:38:58,470
-: Don, he pitched probably one of his

1038
00:38:58,470 --> 00:39:00,120
better games that year.

1039
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,220
Keith: It's getting late for the Orioles.

1040
00:39:02,220 --> 00:39:03,576
Bottom of the seventh inning.

1041
00:39:03,576 --> 00:39:05,812
-: The score is 5 to 2.

1042
00:39:05,812 --> 00:39:07,110
He had a couple guys on base.

1043
00:39:07,110 --> 00:39:09,660
Bob: Sutton, trying to get out of it.

1044
00:39:09,660 --> 00:39:12,139
Two balls, two strikes, the pitch!

1045
00:39:12,139 --> 00:39:12,972
(bat cracks)

1046
00:39:12,972 --> 00:39:15,120
Behind third base, some foul ball room,

1047
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,060
but the farther you went down towards the corner,

1048
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:20,550
that little fence there was maybe three feet

1049
00:39:20,550 --> 00:39:21,810
off the foul line.

1050
00:39:21,810 --> 00:39:25,415
-: It's only like, oh hell, what's that? Two feet?

1051
00:39:25,415 --> 00:39:26,703
Bob: It's hit in the air to left field,

1052
00:39:26,703 --> 00:39:29,440
long run, Ben Oglivie, can he get there?

1053
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,070
Yes! With a sliding catch, he's got it!

1054
00:39:32,070 --> 00:39:35,070
-: The ball was slicing down the left field line,

1055
00:39:35,070 --> 00:39:38,370
and Benji runs across,

1056
00:39:38,370 --> 00:39:42,660
and makes one of the best catches you could ever expect.

1057
00:39:42,660 --> 00:39:45,080
Bob: Oh, what a play by Ben Oglivie,

1058
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,310
in the left field corner!

1059
00:39:47,310 --> 00:39:49,440
Ben: Instinctively, I went after that ball.

1060
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,540
I think that's the only way I could have caught that ball.

1061
00:39:51,540 --> 00:39:54,510
-: That ball gets by Benji in that corner.

1062
00:39:54,510 --> 00:39:56,940
It would've cleared the bases for sure,

1063
00:39:56,940 --> 00:39:59,940
and possibly could have been an inside the park home run.

1064
00:39:59,940 --> 00:40:02,130
-: When he made that catch, saved us all.

1065
00:40:02,130 --> 00:40:04,290
-: He looked like he just put his web out,

1066
00:40:04,290 --> 00:40:05,460
and sucked it in.

1067
00:40:05,460 --> 00:40:07,290
-: He made it. Hence the Spiderman.

1068
00:40:07,290 --> 00:40:09,700
-: He came up with the play of his life

1069
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,600
when we needed it the most.

1070
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,480
Bob: A sliding grab to retire Nolan,

1071
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,550
and the Orioles here in the eighth!

1072
00:40:17,550 --> 00:40:20,700
-: That kind of took some air out of their team.

1073
00:40:20,700 --> 00:40:23,490
Keith: And then Ted Simmons rips the home run,

1074
00:40:23,490 --> 00:40:28,290
his 23rd of the year, to make it a 10 to 2 ball game.

1075
00:40:28,290 --> 00:40:30,390
Milwaukee has blown it wide open.

1076
00:40:30,390 --> 00:40:33,330
Bud: When Simba hit the three run home run,

1077
00:40:33,330 --> 00:40:36,213
I knew then that we were gonna go to the playoffs.

1078
00:40:37,170 --> 00:40:39,000
Bob: And the two strike pitch

1079
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,680
is hit in the air to left,

1080
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,708
Ben Oglivie coming on, he's waiting, he's waiting,

1081
00:40:44,708 --> 00:40:46,453
he's caught it, and the Brewers win

1082
00:40:46,453 --> 00:40:49,068
the Eastern Division Championship,

1083
00:40:49,068 --> 00:40:51,651
and California, here they come!

1084
00:40:52,752 --> 00:40:54,870
Yes, sir!
(upbeat rock music)

1085
00:40:54,870 --> 00:40:58,020
Trailing three games to nothing in this series,

1086
00:40:58,020 --> 00:41:01,832
and the Brewers have come back to win game four!

1087
00:41:01,832 --> 00:41:04,915
The final, Milwaukee 10, Baltimore 2,

1088
00:41:05,950 --> 00:41:08,283
and a very, very happy Brewer club.

1089
00:41:09,337 --> 00:41:10,426
-: All right, Brewers!

1090
00:41:10,426 --> 00:41:11,700
(person cheers)

1091
00:41:11,700 --> 00:41:13,980
-: You know, it's what we play for as athletes,

1092
00:41:13,980 --> 00:41:16,590
to get into that position and then pull it off.

1093
00:41:16,590 --> 00:41:17,730
-: They've bounced back before,

1094
00:41:17,730 --> 00:41:19,230
and I knew they'd bounce back again today.

1095
00:41:19,230 --> 00:41:21,240
-: Just shows that the Brewer house is made of stone.

1096
00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:22,073
I said it before.

1097
00:41:22,073 --> 00:41:22,906
And they huffed and they puffed,

1098
00:41:22,906 --> 00:41:24,060
and they just couldn't blow us down.

1099
00:41:24,060 --> 00:41:27,270
-: The clubhouse celebration, it was historic.

1100
00:41:27,270 --> 00:41:29,673
-: Sheer pandemonium.

1101
00:41:30,507 --> 00:41:33,256
(players cheering)

1102
00:41:33,256 --> 00:41:34,089
-: I don't know how the hell I ended up

1103
00:41:34,089 --> 00:41:35,910
with a bottle of damn mustard,

1104
00:41:35,910 --> 00:41:38,220
but I was spraying that on everybody's eyes.

1105
00:41:38,220 --> 00:41:40,260
-: They wouldn't let me not celebrate with them.

1106
00:41:40,260 --> 00:41:41,970
They threatened to come up in the booth,

1107
00:41:41,970 --> 00:41:44,550
and dump all the champagne and stuff on me up there.

1108
00:41:44,550 --> 00:41:46,050
I didn't wanna mess the booth up.

1109
00:41:46,050 --> 00:41:47,957
-: Things were flying through the air, you know?

1110
00:41:47,957 --> 00:41:49,350
It was crazy.

1111
00:41:49,350 --> 00:41:50,700
It was crazy.

1112
00:41:50,700 --> 00:41:52,138
-: I saw stuff in there, man...

1113
00:41:52,138 --> 00:41:53,040
(Ted laughs)

1114
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,480
I hadn't seen before!

1115
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,250
And I thought I'd seen everything.

1116
00:41:56,250 --> 00:41:59,160
-: I was so emotionally drained with the emotions

1117
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:00,510
that I was going through...

1118
00:42:02,130 --> 00:42:03,660
That was so special.

1119
00:42:03,660 --> 00:42:05,370
-: One thing I do remember,

1120
00:42:05,370 --> 00:42:10,370
I poured a beer on our owner, Mr. Bud Selig.

1121
00:42:10,950 --> 00:42:13,830
I poured a beer over the top of his head,

1122
00:42:13,830 --> 00:42:17,160
and it was like, "Uh oh, maybe I shouldn't...

1123
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,640
I just poured a beer on the owner's head."

1124
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:21,810
-: It was okay.

1125
00:42:21,810 --> 00:42:23,610
At that point, he could do anything he wanted.

1126
00:42:23,610 --> 00:42:25,237
I didn't care, we had won.

1127
00:42:25,237 --> 00:42:27,030
-: (laughs) He was all in!

1128
00:42:27,030 --> 00:42:28,830
-: There are 475 other ball players

1129
00:42:28,830 --> 00:42:30,420
who'd love to be where I am.

1130
00:42:30,420 --> 00:42:32,400
I'm here with the best collection of talent

1131
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:33,233
I've ever played with,

1132
00:42:33,233 --> 00:42:34,470
so I have a lot to be grateful for.

1133
00:42:34,470 --> 00:42:35,520
-: This one was just outstanding.

1134
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,100
It's the greatest thing that ever happened to me

1135
00:42:37,100 --> 00:42:38,190
in my baseball career.

1136
00:42:38,190 --> 00:42:39,480
And there are a lot, a lot of things

1137
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,517
that have been great for me,

1138
00:42:41,517 --> 00:42:42,630
but this is the ultimate,

1139
00:42:42,630 --> 00:42:46,770
-: That culmination, Sunday, in Baltimore,

1140
00:42:46,770 --> 00:42:50,310
that was a seventh game celebration, right there.

1141
00:42:50,310 --> 00:42:52,218
It was incredible.

1142
00:42:52,218 --> 00:42:56,970
(players cheering)
(upbeat rock music)

1143
00:42:56,970 --> 00:43:01,320
-: After the game, I got the broom,

1144
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,723
and I actually broke the broomstick in half.

1145
00:43:04,806 --> 00:43:07,805
(players cheering)
(upbeat rock music)

1146
00:43:07,805 --> 00:43:12,210
And I really just got into it, because it was over.

1147
00:43:12,210 --> 00:43:14,568
You know? There's no sweep here.

1148
00:43:14,568 --> 00:43:16,972
Bob: Oh, what a play by Ben Oglivie!

1149
00:43:16,972 --> 00:43:19,639
(fans cheering)

1150
00:43:21,569 --> 00:43:24,569
(upbeat rock music)

1151
00:43:30,430 --> 00:43:32,719
♪ Get up and have some fun ♪

1152
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,700
(cars honking)

1153
00:43:34,700 --> 00:43:37,110
-: At that time, it was the greatest celebration

1154
00:43:37,110 --> 00:43:38,670
the Brewers had ever had,

1155
00:43:38,670 --> 00:43:40,890
but we still have a long way to go at this point.

1156
00:43:40,890 --> 00:43:42,240
-: We didn't get to go back to Milwaukee.

1157
00:43:42,240 --> 00:43:45,655
We had to fly right in to Anaheim and start that series.

1158
00:43:45,655 --> 00:43:48,427
Bob: Brewers win the Eastern Division Championship,

1159
00:43:48,427 --> 00:43:51,114
and California, here they come!

1160
00:43:51,114 --> 00:43:52,860
Reporter: Eastern Division champs!

1161
00:43:52,860 --> 00:43:54,720
Reporter: This dream of dreams has no ending!

1162
00:43:54,720 --> 00:43:57,617
It continues Tuesday, the playoffs, in the City of Angels.

1163
00:43:57,617 --> 00:44:00,450
-: I know that anytime Reggie's got a presence in a playoff,

1164
00:44:00,450 --> 00:44:01,710
it makes it a little bit more exciting,

1165
00:44:01,710 --> 00:44:04,290
but we're looking forward to giving the Angels a battle.

1166
00:44:04,290 --> 00:44:06,180
-: Oh god, I remember leaving from Baltimore

1167
00:44:06,180 --> 00:44:07,470
to go to California.

1168
00:44:07,470 --> 00:44:10,080
We showered, we got on a plane, and we flew out there.

1169
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,360
-: Obviously, we were extremely excited,

1170
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,030
still celebrating from that game.

1171
00:44:15,030 --> 00:44:19,004
-: And all the way over, there was champagne.

1172
00:44:19,004 --> 00:44:20,040
(Gorman laughs)

1173
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:21,420
And I had the air horn.

1174
00:44:21,420 --> 00:44:23,837
Oh, I drove people crazy.

1175
00:44:23,837 --> 00:44:24,880
(Gorman mocks air horn)

1176
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,810
-: We were all excited and pumped and you know, no sleep.

1177
00:44:27,810 --> 00:44:29,760
And before you know it, you blink.

1178
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,920
You know, you're gonna be on the field again.

1179
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,150
Reporter: Baseball's division winners,

1180
00:44:33,150 --> 00:44:35,070
the St. Louis Cardinals, the Atlanta Braves

1181
00:44:35,070 --> 00:44:35,940
in the National League.

1182
00:44:35,940 --> 00:44:38,400
California Angels, Milwaukee Brewers in the American.

1183
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,080
-: Well, they have an outstanding ball club.

1184
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:41,980
They're an offensive minded ball club.

1185
00:44:43,230 --> 00:44:45,380
I mean, other than that, it's just cliches.

1186
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,771
-: A short time from now,

1187
00:44:48,771 --> 00:44:50,610
the two most powerful teams in baseball

1188
00:44:50,610 --> 00:44:52,650
will bring the Big A to its feet.

1189
00:44:52,650 --> 00:44:54,240
Even the experts are expecting

1190
00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:56,043
a lot of fireworks in Anaheim.

1191
00:44:57,210 --> 00:44:59,820
-: The Milwaukee Brewers have named 17-game winner,

1192
00:44:59,820 --> 00:45:02,940
Mike Caldwell, to start game one tonight

1193
00:45:02,940 --> 00:45:05,220
in the American League Championship Playoffs.

1194
00:45:05,220 --> 00:45:08,190
The California Angels will counter with Tommy John.

1195
00:45:08,190 --> 00:45:09,480
-: Go Brewers, go!

1196
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:10,620
We know you'll do it!

1197
00:45:10,620 --> 00:45:11,453
-: 6 to 3, Brewers.

1198
00:45:11,453 --> 00:45:13,928
-: Oh, they're gonna wall bang it today.

1199
00:45:13,928 --> 00:45:17,040
(upbeat music)
(bats cracking)

1200
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,560
-: There was one hurdle to get to the World Series,

1201
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,230
and ours was the California Angels.

1202
00:45:22,230 --> 00:45:24,750
I don't think they had the personality that we had,

1203
00:45:24,750 --> 00:45:27,013
but they certainly had the core of veteran players.

1204
00:45:27,013 --> 00:45:30,930
-: They had a good pitching staff and good team all around.

1205
00:45:30,930 --> 00:45:33,030
You know, they had some great hitters on that team.

1206
00:45:33,030 --> 00:45:35,880
-: They had three or four former MVPs on their team.

1207
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:37,140
-: Well, I think it was the first year

1208
00:45:37,140 --> 00:45:39,990
that they signed Reggie Jackson, if I'm not mistaken.

1209
00:45:39,990 --> 00:45:42,630
Mike: They had Bobby Grich, they had Rod Carew.

1210
00:45:42,630 --> 00:45:45,690
Cecil: Brian Downing, Doug DeCinces, Bob Boone.

1211
00:45:45,690 --> 00:45:47,280
-: Fred Lynn, Don Baylor.

1212
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:48,113
They were loaded.

1213
00:45:48,113 --> 00:45:50,460
-: That's a pretty awesome lineup, you know?

1214
00:45:50,460 --> 00:45:51,570
And then you go on the mound,

1215
00:45:51,570 --> 00:45:54,900
and they had Tommy John, Bruce Kison, I believe.

1216
00:45:54,900 --> 00:45:57,420
So they kinda had a all-star kind of team.

1217
00:45:57,420 --> 00:45:59,880
-: They had more superstars than they needed.

1218
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:00,780
-: You had your hands full.

1219
00:46:00,780 --> 00:46:03,570
I mean, they had a lot of talent over there, man.

1220
00:46:03,570 --> 00:46:06,030
But, well, I didn't think we'd play second fiddle to 'em.

1221
00:46:06,030 --> 00:46:08,070
-: They're not any better than us!

1222
00:46:08,070 --> 00:46:09,960
-: You know what I remember about that?

1223
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:11,178
Angels were taking batting practice.

1224
00:46:11,178 --> 00:46:12,011
(bat cracks)

1225
00:46:12,011 --> 00:46:13,530
And I was standing behind the batting cage.

1226
00:46:13,530 --> 00:46:15,678
Reggie came up to me and he said,

1227
00:46:15,678 --> 00:46:17,823
"Ueck, your boys don't want it.

1228
00:46:19,020 --> 00:46:21,180
They don't want it bad enough.

1229
00:46:21,180 --> 00:46:22,260
That's why you ain't gonna win."

1230
00:46:22,260 --> 00:46:24,420
I said, "Really?"

1231
00:46:24,420 --> 00:46:26,639
He said, "That's what I'm telling you."

1232
00:46:26,639 --> 00:46:28,030
(catchy theme music)

1233
00:46:28,030 --> 00:46:30,360
-: And now, ABC Sports presents,

1234
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,623
the 1982 American League Championship Series.

1235
00:46:36,450 --> 00:46:38,430
This is the first time the Milwaukee Brewers

1236
00:46:38,430 --> 00:46:40,710
have been in the American League Championship Series.

1237
00:46:40,710 --> 00:46:42,953
It's the second time for the California Angels.

1238
00:46:42,953 --> 00:46:44,940
It is a best of five series.

1239
00:46:44,940 --> 00:46:46,620
We'll play two games here at Anaheim,

1240
00:46:46,620 --> 00:46:48,733
then move back to Milwaukee.

1241
00:46:48,733 --> 00:46:50,730
DeCinces on third, right on the line.

1242
00:46:50,730 --> 00:46:51,930
Throws out Molitor.

1243
00:46:51,930 --> 00:46:55,080
Tommy John gets Milwaukee Brewers in order,

1244
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,060
in the top of the first inning.

1245
00:46:57,060 --> 00:46:58,140
Flagged down by the pitcher.

1246
00:46:58,140 --> 00:47:00,270
Caldwell throws wildly at second base,

1247
00:47:00,270 --> 00:47:01,650
and Gantner can't hang on.

1248
00:47:01,650 --> 00:47:03,630
-: When we came out for the first game

1249
00:47:03,630 --> 00:47:06,630
against the Angels in Anaheim, we were flat.

1250
00:47:06,630 --> 00:47:07,830
Keith: Throws him out.

1251
00:47:07,830 --> 00:47:10,770
Pops it up, off his glove, into left field.

1252
00:47:10,770 --> 00:47:13,083
-: We didn't have that spark that the Brewers

1253
00:47:13,083 --> 00:47:16,440
were so used to playing with.

1254
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,454
Keith: Shot up the middle, base hit.

1255
00:47:18,454 --> 00:47:19,653
Into left field, base hit!

1256
00:47:19,653 --> 00:47:21,780
Commentator: It's not exactly the greatest one-two pitch

1257
00:47:21,780 --> 00:47:22,680
you'd wanna make.

1258
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:26,430
-: Between the game on Sunday, the celebration afterwards,

1259
00:47:26,430 --> 00:47:29,160
the cross-country trip, one day off,

1260
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:30,695
it put a lot of stress on us.

1261
00:47:30,695 --> 00:47:32,551
Keith: Top of the 9th inning and two out,

1262
00:47:32,551 --> 00:47:34,194
and Gantner lifts a fly ball

1263
00:47:34,194 --> 00:47:38,441
to left field for Juan Beniquez, and the Angels win it,

1264
00:47:38,441 --> 00:47:41,554
as California beats Milwaukee, 8 to 3,

1265
00:47:41,554 --> 00:47:42,560
with Tommy John getting the win,

1266
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,889
Mike Caldwell taking the loss,

1267
00:47:44,889 --> 00:47:47,730
and Don Baylor, the offensive star of the game.

1268
00:47:47,730 --> 00:47:48,840
-: We just come off such a high,

1269
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:50,160
then all of a sudden, you know,

1270
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,860
you're thrust right into a pressure packed game,

1271
00:47:52,860 --> 00:47:54,653
and I just don't think we were ready.

1272
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,530
Keith: The one-two pitch from Kison to Cooper

1273
00:47:58,530 --> 00:47:59,938
Swings and misses.

1274
00:47:59,938 --> 00:48:02,750
On the outside corner looking.

1275
00:48:02,750 --> 00:48:03,590
Struck him out.

1276
00:48:03,590 --> 00:48:05,100
That's a swing. He's gone.

1277
00:48:05,100 --> 00:48:06,870
Here comes Reggie Jackson.

1278
00:48:06,870 --> 00:48:11,524
He hits that one high and deep, way back, it's gone!

1279
00:48:11,524 --> 00:48:14,462
(uptempo music)

1280
00:48:14,462 --> 00:48:15,295
Oh boy, look out.

1281
00:48:15,295 --> 00:48:17,044
It's a one-two pitch to Thomas,

1282
00:48:17,044 --> 00:48:19,441
sidearms him, and strikes him out.

1283
00:48:19,441 --> 00:48:21,085
Strikes out.

1284
00:48:21,085 --> 00:48:21,918
Boy...

1285
00:48:22,849 --> 00:48:24,516
Kison needs one out.

1286
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:27,446
To Bobby Grich.

1287
00:48:27,446 --> 00:48:29,136
(uptempo music continues)

1288
00:48:29,136 --> 00:48:33,447
The California Angels have defeated the Milwaukee Brewers.

1289
00:48:33,447 --> 00:48:36,210
-: The Milwaukee Club has now lost six

1290
00:48:36,210 --> 00:48:37,917
out of their last seven games.

1291
00:48:37,917 --> 00:48:40,980
-: For the first two games in Anaheim against the Angels,

1292
00:48:40,980 --> 00:48:44,250
we were not the Milwaukee Brewers.

1293
00:48:44,250 --> 00:48:45,870
And we lost both games.

1294
00:48:45,870 --> 00:48:47,793
We just didn't show up.

1295
00:48:48,697 --> 00:48:49,920
-: It was pretty rough.

1296
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,550
We lost the first two games, pretty rough.

1297
00:48:53,550 --> 00:48:54,600
-: We were flat.

1298
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:58,680
And I never saw that team be flat, ever.

1299
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,440
These were the biggest games of our lives.

1300
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,440
And everybody wanted to win so bad,

1301
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,230
and we were flat for the biggest games

1302
00:49:07,230 --> 00:49:09,300
that we had ever played in,

1303
00:49:09,300 --> 00:49:11,400
which makes no sense.

1304
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:15,330
-: I don't know if there was a literal or physical hangover

1305
00:49:15,330 --> 00:49:17,900
to what happened in Baltimore, but...

1306
00:49:18,780 --> 00:49:20,700
Yeah, it was a blink of an eye.

1307
00:49:20,700 --> 00:49:23,910
From the celebration in Baltimore to being down 0-2,

1308
00:49:23,910 --> 00:49:26,040
just seemed like it happened so fast.

1309
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:27,900
-: Well, the Brewers backed up to the wall

1310
00:49:27,900 --> 00:49:29,010
on Sunday and won it,

1311
00:49:29,010 --> 00:49:31,200
they're backed up to an even bigger wall

1312
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:32,940
going into Friday's game.

1313
00:49:32,940 --> 00:49:36,000
-: Oh my god, we got this far, and we're gonna lose it here?

1314
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,250
Come on. We gotta do better than this.

1315
00:49:38,250 --> 00:49:39,480
-: The California Angels,

1316
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,330
they are now just one victory away from the World Series,

1317
00:49:42,330 --> 00:49:44,220
as the American League Championship Series

1318
00:49:44,220 --> 00:49:45,270
heads for Milwaukee.

1319
00:49:45,270 --> 00:49:46,200
-: Well, I'm a bit surprised.

1320
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:47,880
I'm a little disappointed too.

1321
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,100
You know, I really would never have guessed

1322
00:49:50,100 --> 00:49:51,570
that after two ball games,

1323
00:49:51,570 --> 00:49:53,010
we'd have only scored five runs.

1324
00:49:53,010 --> 00:49:55,860
-: Now you're heading back home to win a game,

1325
00:49:55,860 --> 00:49:56,910
first and foremost,

1326
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,583
and then somehow see if we could roll it into three.

1327
00:50:00,581 --> 00:50:01,500
Which was tough.

1328
00:50:01,500 --> 00:50:03,750
-: So we're down 0-2, and we look bad,

1329
00:50:03,750 --> 00:50:05,970
and I'm sort of shocked.

1330
00:50:05,970 --> 00:50:08,910
Fly back to Milwaukee, I don't know what to expect.

1331
00:50:08,910 --> 00:50:11,640
-: The Milwaukee Brewers are in a very deep,

1332
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,020
very dark hole right now.

1333
00:50:13,020 --> 00:50:14,790
No club, in fact, has ever come back

1334
00:50:14,790 --> 00:50:16,860
to win a five game League Championship

1335
00:50:16,860 --> 00:50:18,630
after losing the first two games.

1336
00:50:18,630 --> 00:50:20,130
-: Did it not look good? Of course not.

1337
00:50:20,130 --> 00:50:23,880
Nobody wants to have to win three straight to move on.

1338
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,580
-: But if it's going to be a team

1339
00:50:26,580 --> 00:50:28,203
that can take care of business,

1340
00:50:29,070 --> 00:50:30,510
this is the one that can do it.

1341
00:50:30,510 --> 00:50:34,050
-: I can assure everyone, certainly the people in Milwaukee,

1342
00:50:34,050 --> 00:50:36,420
that when we get there, we're gonna be ready to play.

1343
00:50:36,420 --> 00:50:40,260
And we hope the fans will be there, you know,

1344
00:50:40,260 --> 00:50:41,430
to help carry us along,

1345
00:50:41,430 --> 00:50:45,300
and we win that first game Friday night,

1346
00:50:45,300 --> 00:50:46,920
we'll see what happens Saturday.

1347
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,260
-: California had a very veteran ball club,

1348
00:50:49,260 --> 00:50:51,450
a lot of older guys.

1349
00:50:51,450 --> 00:50:54,949
Let's get 'em back into the cold weather in Milwaukee.

1350
00:50:54,949 --> 00:50:56,980
(Charlie laughs)

1351
00:50:56,980 --> 00:51:00,464
Crowd: We're number one! We're number one!

1352
00:51:00,464 --> 00:51:01,620
We're number one!

1353
00:51:01,620 --> 00:51:03,360
-: The city was all about it.

1354
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:04,650
They were all in.

1355
00:51:04,650 --> 00:51:05,910
And the guys could feel it.

1356
00:51:05,910 --> 00:51:06,743
They fed off that.

1357
00:51:06,743 --> 00:51:08,670
Reporter: Was there a Brewers sign on your...

1358
00:51:08,670 --> 00:51:09,503
Oh, this one.

1359
00:51:09,503 --> 00:51:10,800
-: It goes together. It goes together.

1360
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,030
Reporter: Oh!

1361
00:51:12,030 --> 00:51:13,107
-: You know, you're home.

1362
00:51:13,107 --> 00:51:15,300
And you got your people.

1363
00:51:15,300 --> 00:51:18,000
-: We all know that nobody makes noise like Milwaukee fans,

1364
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,070
so I think like Harvey said last night,

1365
00:51:20,070 --> 00:51:22,380
that it's really gonna get the team fired up.

1366
00:51:22,380 --> 00:51:25,170
-: Now that we've got the the home fans behind us,

1367
00:51:25,170 --> 00:51:27,480
we're gonna pull those three games right off.

1368
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,310
-: Since I think the Brewers have had

1369
00:51:29,310 --> 00:51:31,620
six game winning streaks before,

1370
00:51:31,620 --> 00:51:34,530
so I think they can just win three pretty easily.

1371
00:51:34,530 --> 00:51:37,200
-: I guarantee you, throughout the course of that season,

1372
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,890
there were lots of times we won three games in a row.

1373
00:51:40,890 --> 00:51:44,160
Not under those same circumstances obviously,

1374
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,040
but we had won three games in a row before.

1375
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,530
So you go in with the attitude, "Well, why not us?"

1376
00:51:49,530 --> 00:51:50,363
Really.

1377
00:51:51,630 --> 00:51:53,130
Keith: The beautiful colors of autumn

1378
00:51:53,130 --> 00:51:54,387
through the city of Milwaukee,

1379
00:51:54,387 --> 00:51:56,517
and the parking lot filled to the brim,

1380
00:51:56,517 --> 00:51:58,170
and this stadium should be filled

1381
00:51:58,170 --> 00:51:59,790
to the brim this afternoon.

1382
00:51:59,790 --> 00:52:01,500
-: We took batting practice in the infield.

1383
00:52:01,500 --> 00:52:03,450
I mean, the whole stadium was full of people.

1384
00:52:03,450 --> 00:52:05,520
Even though we're behind 0 and 2,

1385
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,383
they were there 100% to support us, and you know,

1386
00:52:07,383 --> 00:52:09,990
they were starving for a playoff game too.

1387
00:52:09,990 --> 00:52:13,230
-: Got back in front of our home crowd to give us a boost,

1388
00:52:13,230 --> 00:52:14,583
which we really needed.

1389
00:52:15,559 --> 00:52:18,270
(crowd cheers)

1390
00:52:18,270 --> 00:52:20,160
-: We would be with, you know, our crowd,

1391
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,380
they'd pump us up, and we'd be okay.

1392
00:52:22,380 --> 00:52:24,303
And then here he is again,

1393
00:52:25,170 --> 00:52:28,320
our version of the big game pitcher.

1394
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:29,670
That's why we traded for him.

1395
00:52:29,670 --> 00:52:31,620
Keith: The veteran right-hander, Don Sutton,

1396
00:52:31,620 --> 00:52:33,323
will be pitching the must game again

1397
00:52:33,323 --> 00:52:34,860
for the Milwaukee Brewers.

1398
00:52:34,860 --> 00:52:36,840
-: I tell you, these fans are incredible.

1399
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:38,370
They'll cheer for anything.

1400
00:52:38,370 --> 00:52:40,410
The introduction of the players, the national anthem,

1401
00:52:40,410 --> 00:52:42,216
every time the beer man comes by.

1402
00:52:42,216 --> 00:52:43,200
(crowd cheers)

1403
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:44,577
-: It was loud from the get go.

1404
00:52:44,577 --> 00:52:46,770
-: The fans were going crazy.

1405
00:52:46,770 --> 00:52:49,260
Keith: The Brewers take the field here at County Stadium,

1406
00:52:49,260 --> 00:52:53,206
and very, very shortly we will be underway.

1407
00:52:53,206 --> 00:52:54,180
-: Yeah!

1408
00:52:54,180 --> 00:52:59,117
Yeah, Brewers!

1409
00:52:59,117 --> 00:53:00,990
-: County Stadium was special, man.

1410
00:53:00,990 --> 00:53:02,700
I mean, and it was packed.

1411
00:53:02,700 --> 00:53:05,700
Sometimes I felt like the stadium was moving.

1412
00:53:05,700 --> 00:53:07,050
You know, it was just incredible.

1413
00:53:07,050 --> 00:53:08,588
You know, you get a charge from that.

1414
00:53:08,588 --> 00:53:11,171
(crowd cheers)

1415
00:53:13,830 --> 00:53:15,663
Bob: Sutton, from the stretch.

1416
00:53:16,860 --> 00:53:17,977
The pitch to Jackson.

1417
00:53:17,977 --> 00:53:19,237
(uptempo music)

1418
00:53:19,237 --> 00:53:20,437
Struck him out swinging!

1419
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,660
Sutton threw a change-up and got Jackson!

1420
00:53:24,660 --> 00:53:26,660
The three-two pitch, a swing and a miss.

1421
00:53:27,574 --> 00:53:29,610
Left-handed batter, Reggie Jackson waiting.

1422
00:53:29,610 --> 00:53:31,653
Sutton rocks the two-two.

1423
00:53:31,653 --> 00:53:33,960
Strike three called, outside corner,

1424
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:35,090
and Jackson knew it!

1425
00:53:35,090 --> 00:53:37,530
No argument for Mr. October.

1426
00:53:37,530 --> 00:53:39,441
Brewers could use a couple of runs.

1427
00:53:39,441 --> 00:53:42,102
The three-two, Yount goes, Coop drills to right,

1428
00:53:42,102 --> 00:53:43,437
it's a fair ball!

1429
00:53:43,437 --> 00:53:44,705
To the corner!

1430
00:53:44,705 --> 00:53:46,867
Yount may score around third!

1431
00:53:46,867 --> 00:53:49,505
Jackson's throw to Grich, he'll throw to home,

1432
00:53:49,505 --> 00:53:51,090
1-0 Milwaukee!

1433
00:53:51,090 --> 00:53:52,200
All set to go.

1434
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,001
Cooper the lead at second...

1435
00:53:54,001 --> 00:53:57,009
Base hit center, lined by Simmons!

1436
00:53:57,009 --> 00:54:00,129
Cooper around third, is held by Harry Warner.

1437
00:54:00,129 --> 00:54:03,109
Runners at the corners, and nobody out!

1438
00:54:03,109 --> 00:54:05,587
(crowd cheers)

1439
00:54:05,587 --> 00:54:06,420
Zahn with the pitch,

1440
00:54:06,420 --> 00:54:10,347
Benji drills between Grich and Carew to right, a base hit!

1441
00:54:10,347 --> 00:54:12,403
Simmons around second, trying for third,

1442
00:54:12,403 --> 00:54:16,200
the throw by Jackson, he slides, he's safe!

1443
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,180
The Brewer bats have come alive.

1444
00:54:18,180 --> 00:54:21,750
Monitor trying to get Marshall Edwards home.

1445
00:54:21,750 --> 00:54:25,355
Here's the two-two, drilled to deep left!

1446
00:54:25,355 --> 00:54:27,506
There it goes, gone!

1447
00:54:27,506 --> 00:54:28,895
A home run!

1448
00:54:28,895 --> 00:54:30,728
It's now 5 to nothing!

1449
00:54:31,726 --> 00:54:33,985
(crowd cheers)
(upbeat music)

1450
00:54:33,985 --> 00:54:35,040
-: I was able to hit a homer,

1451
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,530
and County Stadium was electric.

1452
00:54:37,530 --> 00:54:39,761
And I'm going, "Wow, this is crazy."

1453
00:54:39,761 --> 00:54:42,780
Bob: Two outs, here in the 9th!

1454
00:54:42,780 --> 00:54:46,678
They are one out away from playing tomorrow.

1455
00:54:46,678 --> 00:54:49,710
(crowd cheers)
(upbeat music)

1456
00:54:49,710 --> 00:54:53,744
Two strikes, two outs, the two strike pitch.

1457
00:54:53,744 --> 00:54:55,152
A swing and a miss!

1458
00:54:55,152 --> 00:54:57,687
He strikes out Boone!

1459
00:54:57,687 --> 00:55:01,277
And the Brewers have taken their first victory

1460
00:55:01,277 --> 00:55:05,283
behind a brilliant performance by right-hander Pete Ladd.

1461
00:55:06,536 --> 00:55:08,430
(static hisses)

1462
00:55:08,430 --> 00:55:12,510
-: It's amazing how your attitude can change over one win.

1463
00:55:12,510 --> 00:55:13,343
You know?

1464
00:55:13,343 --> 00:55:18,338
Okay, we won a game, so we get another chance tomorrow.

1465
00:55:21,387 --> 00:55:23,580
-: Now the Saturday game, it's raining.

1466
00:55:23,580 --> 00:55:26,340
I'm driving to the ballpark, and we get there,

1467
00:55:26,340 --> 00:55:28,200
and Bowie Kuhn's here with Lee MacPhail,

1468
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:29,033
president of the American League,

1469
00:55:29,033 --> 00:55:30,870
and the Commissioner of Baseball.

1470
00:55:30,870 --> 00:55:32,850
And there's a big debate whether we should play.

1471
00:55:32,850 --> 00:55:34,980
And I am all for not playing.

1472
00:55:34,980 --> 00:55:35,880
Don't ask me why.

1473
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:39,450
I just maybe didn't want to go through this again that day.

1474
00:55:39,450 --> 00:55:40,890
And the debate goes on,

1475
00:55:40,890 --> 00:55:42,690
but Lee is the president of the American League,

1476
00:55:42,690 --> 00:55:44,290
and he says, "We're gonna play."

1477
00:55:45,390 --> 00:55:46,383
I'm unhappy.

1478
00:55:47,580 --> 00:55:49,620
-: I don't remember the sellout house.

1479
00:55:49,620 --> 00:55:52,650
You know it's not really conscious but, "Hey, this is cool."

1480
00:55:52,650 --> 00:55:55,422
You throw the first pitch, game on.

1481
00:55:55,422 --> 00:55:58,140
(uptempo guitar music)

1482
00:55:58,140 --> 00:56:00,750
Keith: Cooper. Cooper tags him, and he's out.

1483
00:56:00,750 --> 00:56:03,195
Bob: The Angels are finished in the first inning.

1484
00:56:03,195 --> 00:56:06,930
Keith: Two-two pitch, broken up.

1485
00:56:06,930 --> 00:56:09,210
Bob: Here comes Mark Brouhard,

1486
00:56:09,210 --> 00:56:12,660
playing in place of the injured Ben Oglivie.

1487
00:56:12,660 --> 00:56:16,442
Bro hits one back up the middle, into center, a base hit!

1488
00:56:16,442 --> 00:56:19,425
Simmons around third! He'll score!

1489
00:56:19,425 --> 00:56:22,830
Molly to third, sliding, the ball got by DeCinces!

1490
00:56:22,830 --> 00:56:24,561
Molly's gonna try to score!

1491
00:56:24,561 --> 00:56:27,060
The throw high from DeCinces!

1492
00:56:27,060 --> 00:56:29,023
Here comes Brouhard!

1493
00:56:29,023 --> 00:56:30,106
3-0, Brewers.

1494
00:56:31,779 --> 00:56:35,850
Gantner loops it in the air, a liner to left, a base hit!

1495
00:56:35,850 --> 00:56:38,863
Brouhard scores, Charlie Moore to third,

1496
00:56:38,863 --> 00:56:43,440
Gantner is on, 5-0 Milwaukee over the Angels!

1497
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,253
Haas delivers, Jackson takes,

1498
00:56:45,253 --> 00:56:48,863
strike three called on the outside corner.

1499
00:56:48,863 --> 00:56:50,263
Reggie didn't like it.

1500
00:56:50,263 --> 00:56:54,087
Haas was right there, and he strikes him out.

1501
00:56:54,087 --> 00:56:56,640
The fans appreciate a strike out to Jackson

1502
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,980
more than any other player in this league.

1503
00:56:58,980 --> 00:57:00,390
The pitch.

1504
00:57:00,390 --> 00:57:01,890
Bro hits to deep left!

1505
00:57:01,890 --> 00:57:04,020
It's got a chance, it's gonna go!

1506
00:57:04,020 --> 00:57:04,853
Yes, it's gone!

1507
00:57:05,899 --> 00:57:08,442
A home run for Brouhard!

1508
00:57:08,442 --> 00:57:12,887
And the Brewers lead now 9 to 5!

1509
00:57:12,887 --> 00:57:16,473
And the Brewers have come back to take two in a row!

1510
00:57:17,444 --> 00:57:18,553
(crowd cheers)

1511
00:57:18,553 --> 00:57:21,210
-: I can still remember leaving my box, walking down,

1512
00:57:21,210 --> 00:57:22,230
and there was Lee.

1513
00:57:22,230 --> 00:57:24,667
And the only thing Lee says is,

1514
00:57:24,667 --> 00:57:26,730
"Still don't wanna play today, huh?"

1515
00:57:26,730 --> 00:57:29,310
-: And then all of a sudden, hey, one game to go.

1516
00:57:29,310 --> 00:57:31,384
-: We gonna be number one!

1517
00:57:31,384 --> 00:57:33,014
All the way!

1518
00:57:33,014 --> 00:57:34,397
We're taking it tomorrow too!

1519
00:57:34,397 --> 00:57:35,970
Reporter: What's gonna happen tomorrow?

1520
00:57:35,970 --> 00:57:39,574
-: The Brewers are gonna send the Angels home.

1521
00:57:39,574 --> 00:57:41,270
(Reporters laughing)

1522
00:57:41,270 --> 00:57:43,904
-: Now it sets up Sunday, 3:05.

1523
00:57:43,904 --> 00:57:46,260
Crowd: Sweep, sweep, sweep, sweep, sweep!

1524
00:57:46,260 --> 00:57:47,093
-: This is their day.

1525
00:57:47,093 --> 00:57:48,720
They've had their back to the wall all year long,

1526
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:50,400
they're gonna do it today, believe me.

1527
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:51,480
-: It was just another game,

1528
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:53,610
but this one here had a lot of hair on it.

1529
00:57:53,610 --> 00:57:55,920
-: There is a question for the Milwaukee Brewers,

1530
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:59,250
because the man who shared the home run championship

1531
00:57:59,250 --> 00:58:03,390
with Reggie Jackson, 39, Gorman Thomas, is hurt.

1532
00:58:03,390 --> 00:58:04,770
Gorman, how bad is the knee?

1533
00:58:04,770 --> 00:58:07,070
-: Uh, I got about 20 minutes sleep last night.

1534
00:58:08,070 --> 00:58:10,560
It really locked up on me pretty good.

1535
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:12,407
And I was a one-legged man

1536
00:58:12,407 --> 00:58:14,490
coming to the ballpark this morning.

1537
00:58:14,490 --> 00:58:16,170
I was gonna play.

1538
00:58:16,170 --> 00:58:17,310
I don't quit.

1539
00:58:17,310 --> 00:58:19,470
-: Gorman is apologizing to me.

1540
00:58:19,470 --> 00:58:21,780
He wanted to play so badly.

1541
00:58:21,780 --> 00:58:23,760
-: Gorman was all banged up.

1542
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:24,990
A lot of us were all banged up.

1543
00:58:24,990 --> 00:58:27,600
But especially Vuke, you know, having to pitch.

1544
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:29,220
Vuke was pitching at, you know,

1545
00:58:29,220 --> 00:58:30,540
probably the last month of the season,

1546
00:58:30,540 --> 00:58:32,790
I think with a torn rotator cuff.

1547
00:58:32,790 --> 00:58:34,110
He was in a lot of pain.

1548
00:58:34,110 --> 00:58:35,820
-: His arm was shot.

1549
00:58:35,820 --> 00:58:39,600
He was going out there pitching on guts.

1550
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:41,970
-: Most guys, there's no way

1551
00:58:41,970 --> 00:58:43,530
they could have pitched with that.

1552
00:58:43,530 --> 00:58:47,910
-: His pain threshold was above and beyond anybody else,

1553
00:58:47,910 --> 00:58:48,743
I think.

1554
00:58:48,743 --> 00:58:53,190
-: He pitched more games at a small percent of total health

1555
00:58:53,190 --> 00:58:54,870
than any guy I had ever been around.

1556
00:58:54,870 --> 00:58:55,920
-: I knew he was hurting.

1557
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:58,650
You could almost tell when he pitched that it was hurting.

1558
00:58:58,650 --> 00:59:01,500
But on the mound, he didn't show that he was hurting.

1559
00:59:01,500 --> 00:59:03,480
-: I was masking the pain,

1560
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:06,270
but structurally my arm wouldn't let me do

1561
00:59:06,270 --> 00:59:08,640
what I wanted to do mentally.

1562
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:10,530
There's a lot of damage in there, you know?

1563
00:59:10,530 --> 00:59:12,390
-: That's the type of competitor he is.

1564
00:59:12,390 --> 00:59:13,770
You're not gonna stop him.

1565
00:59:13,770 --> 00:59:15,690
-: You're gonna have to kill him to drag him off.

1566
00:59:15,690 --> 00:59:17,430
You gotta shoot him.

1567
00:59:17,430 --> 00:59:19,755
And in his case, you gotta shoot him twice.

1568
00:59:19,755 --> 00:59:20,588
(Gorman laughs)

1569
00:59:20,588 --> 00:59:24,750
-: I was probably, at best, probably 70%.

1570
00:59:24,750 --> 00:59:26,400
-: We're talking about half a man.

1571
00:59:27,450 --> 00:59:29,130
You're talking about half a man.

1572
00:59:29,130 --> 00:59:31,830
-: I felt I could still be good enough

1573
00:59:31,830 --> 00:59:33,420
knowing what I knew about pitching,

1574
00:59:33,420 --> 00:59:34,800
to get out hitters.

1575
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:36,900
And that's why I didn't say shit,

1576
00:59:36,900 --> 00:59:38,550
I just kept going about my business.

1577
00:59:38,550 --> 00:59:39,453
Now, guys knew.

1578
00:59:40,380 --> 00:59:41,910
I know Robin knew.

1579
00:59:41,910 --> 00:59:44,130
-: He didn't have a fastball.

1580
00:59:44,130 --> 00:59:47,070
He was basically just going out there

1581
00:59:47,070 --> 00:59:51,960
and doing the best he could to trick major league hitters,

1582
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:56,640
because he didn't have the velocity that he was used to.

1583
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:58,740
But he knew how to get people out.

1584
00:59:58,740 --> 01:00:00,327
-: He could still throw it where he wanted to.

1585
01:00:00,327 --> 01:00:02,820
And that's all you need, is the visual.

1586
01:00:02,820 --> 01:00:05,250
-: He could make the ball go anywhere.

1587
01:00:05,250 --> 01:00:08,250
I mean, sail this way, sail this way, doot-doot-doot.

1588
01:00:08,250 --> 01:00:09,540
-: He was pitching.

1589
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:13,470
-: Not throwing, he pitched.

1590
01:00:13,470 --> 01:00:18,000
-: But boy, he was really giving up his tomorrows for today.

1591
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:19,770
-: The genius...

1592
01:00:19,770 --> 01:00:20,910
Who was it, Gene Mauch?

1593
01:00:20,910 --> 01:00:22,680
Gene Mauch might have gave it away.

1594
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:23,940
You know, I pitched that fifth game,

1595
01:00:23,940 --> 01:00:25,920
and he said, "There's no way Vuckovich can beat us."

1596
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:27,420
Of course, he knew I was hurt.

1597
01:00:27,420 --> 01:00:28,360
He knew.

1598
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,469
(Pete laughs)

1599
01:00:30,469 --> 01:00:31,560
(crowd cheers)
(upbeat music)

1600
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,170
-: From a jampacked County Stadium,

1601
01:00:34,170 --> 01:00:37,290
with the American League Championship on the line,

1602
01:00:37,290 --> 01:00:40,080
it is the Brewers against the California Angels

1603
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:42,380
in game five.

1604
01:00:42,380 --> 01:00:44,691
(upbeat music continues)

1605
01:00:44,691 --> 01:00:49,111
I remember the crowd noise that day was unbelievable.

1606
01:00:49,111 --> 01:00:49,944
(crowd cheers)

1607
01:00:49,944 --> 01:00:52,291
It isn't too hard to figure out where you are,

1608
01:00:52,291 --> 01:00:54,157
listening to that crowd, is it?

1609
01:00:54,157 --> 01:00:57,750
They're up in Milwaukee for game five.

1610
01:00:57,750 --> 01:01:00,180
-: It's rocking, it's weaving, it's moving.

1611
01:01:00,180 --> 01:01:02,820
All the fans in the stands out there in the bleachers,

1612
01:01:02,820 --> 01:01:05,523
and they're stomping, and it's electric.

1613
01:01:06,402 --> 01:01:07,920
(crowd cheers)

1614
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:11,553
-: None of the games were as pressure packed as this game.

1615
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:13,553
Commentator: Well, Pete,

1616
01:01:13,553 --> 01:01:15,090
this is his second start this season

1617
01:01:15,090 --> 01:01:16,800
with only three days rest.

1618
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,590
In his other start , went 7 innings, gave up 10 hits,

1619
01:01:19,590 --> 01:01:20,940
and ended up losing 3 to 2.

1620
01:01:20,940 --> 01:01:23,910
Bob: The first pitch of game five...

1621
01:01:23,910 --> 01:01:26,310
Delivers to Lynn who bangs to left field a base hit,

1622
01:01:26,310 --> 01:01:27,780
and California strikes first.

1623
01:01:27,780 --> 01:01:30,690
Oglivie bobbled the ball, Lynn's gonna go to second,

1624
01:01:30,690 --> 01:01:32,580
the throw coming on, he is in,

1625
01:01:32,580 --> 01:01:34,437
and California leads 1-0.

1626
01:01:34,437 --> 01:01:37,620
The pitch to Simmons is lined to right center,

1627
01:01:37,620 --> 01:01:39,270
Jackson coming on!

1628
01:01:39,270 --> 01:01:40,200
He's got it!

1629
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:41,633
The throw to the plate!

1630
01:01:41,633 --> 01:01:44,881
Molitor coming on, sliding, the game is tied!

1631
01:01:44,881 --> 01:01:46,073
(crowd cheers)

1632
01:01:46,073 --> 01:01:48,810
The 0-2 pitch, takes a little off, grounder to the hole,

1633
01:01:48,810 --> 01:01:51,113
past the diving Molitor, and he'll have a hit.

1634
01:01:51,113 --> 01:01:53,970
Oglivie can't grab the ball, Boone around third,

1635
01:01:53,970 --> 01:01:54,870
scores easily,

1636
01:01:54,870 --> 01:01:57,360
Lynn goes to second, he's in safely.

1637
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:00,473
Carew to third, and the Angels lead to 2 to 1.

1638
01:02:00,473 --> 01:02:03,450
The 1-0 pitch, Boone bunts, a beauty.

1639
01:02:03,450 --> 01:02:06,090
Cooper near the mound, Fields goes to second,

1640
01:02:06,090 --> 01:02:07,893
3-1 California.

1641
01:02:08,900 --> 01:02:12,630
Oglivie today, 0 for 1, then in the series, 1 for 12.

1642
01:02:12,630 --> 01:02:13,909
The 0-1 pitch.

1643
01:02:13,909 --> 01:02:15,806
Drilled! Deep to right!

1644
01:02:15,806 --> 01:02:17,338
Go, ball, go!

1645
01:02:17,338 --> 01:02:18,171
Gone!

1646
01:02:18,171 --> 01:02:20,976
A home run for Ben Oglivie!

1647
01:02:20,976 --> 01:02:22,941
and the Brewers are back to within a run,

1648
01:02:22,941 --> 01:02:24,432
it's 3 to 2.

1649
01:02:24,432 --> 01:02:29,432
(upbeat funky music)
(crowd cheers)

1650
01:02:34,463 --> 01:02:38,850
Now Fred Lynn, who is 2 for 2, and has driven in two.

1651
01:02:38,850 --> 01:02:41,310
-: I remember a big play in the game.

1652
01:02:41,310 --> 01:02:43,470
Bob: Jackson leads the pitch,

1653
01:02:43,470 --> 01:02:46,170
is hit over Cooper's head to right, a base hit.

1654
01:02:46,170 --> 01:02:48,330
Here is Reggie, turning second, trying for third.

1655
01:02:48,330 --> 01:02:50,250
Moore's gonna have a play on him, the throw...

1656
01:02:50,250 --> 01:02:51,990
-: I know that I got a good chance

1657
01:02:51,990 --> 01:02:53,430
to get a good throw from him.

1658
01:02:53,430 --> 01:02:55,777
Commentator: Jackson around second, going to third.

1659
01:02:55,777 --> 01:02:57,090
The throw by Moore...

1660
01:02:57,090 --> 01:02:59,958
Bob: In time! They get Jackson!

1661
01:02:59,958 --> 01:03:02,760
Oh, what a throw by Moore!

1662
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:05,340
-: Reggie was trying to go from first to third,

1663
01:03:05,340 --> 01:03:07,920
and Charlie Moore threw him out at third base

1664
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:09,000
with no problem.

1665
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,557
-: I don't think I've really even had to move my glove.

1666
01:03:11,557 --> 01:03:13,800
-: (laughs) That one sticks in my mind, you know?

1667
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:14,797
With Reggie.

1668
01:03:14,797 --> 01:03:18,166
(crowd cheers)

1669
01:03:18,166 --> 01:03:20,070
-: It was a bang-bang play, he was clearly out.

1670
01:03:20,070 --> 01:03:21,900
Huge momentum play in the game.

1671
01:03:21,900 --> 01:03:24,090
Bob: And with the heat on in game five,

1672
01:03:24,090 --> 01:03:25,590
he throws out Jackson.

1673
01:03:25,590 --> 01:03:28,710
-: I'm still reminded of that throw today.

1674
01:03:28,710 --> 01:03:31,170
I know that's probably the best throw I ever made.

1675
01:03:31,170 --> 01:03:35,460
I saw Reggie pop up, and kinda tip his hat.

1676
01:03:35,460 --> 01:03:36,900
Bob: Oh, what a throw!

1677
01:03:36,900 --> 01:03:40,123
California 3, Milwaukee 2, in the middle of the fifth.

1678
01:03:40,123 --> 01:03:43,260
-: I realized what it took to be successful as a pitcher.

1679
01:03:43,260 --> 01:03:45,150
On my turn to pitch, I got locked in.

1680
01:03:45,150 --> 01:03:47,400
I'm on that rubber, and all I see is the glove.

1681
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:50,430
All I try to do is bang the glove and that's it.

1682
01:03:50,430 --> 01:03:51,930
I kept it as simple as possible.

1683
01:03:51,930 --> 01:03:55,860
-: You're playing a finesse game from square one

1684
01:03:55,860 --> 01:03:57,960
in that game five with Peter.

1685
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:00,330
You know his fastball is light,

1686
01:04:00,330 --> 01:04:02,460
and if you throw too much of that,

1687
01:04:02,460 --> 01:04:04,617
they're going to be lighting him up.

1688
01:04:04,617 --> 01:04:07,110
You still have to show it.

1689
01:04:07,110 --> 01:04:11,220
Just make sure it's no place where they can hit it.

1690
01:04:11,220 --> 01:04:13,323
Try and get ahead, one strike fastball.

1691
01:04:14,610 --> 01:04:18,120
Now throw maybe one high and inside to back 'em off.

1692
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:19,380
One and one.

1693
01:04:19,380 --> 01:04:22,800
Throw another one at this far outside.

1694
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:24,300
He might swing at it.

1695
01:04:24,300 --> 01:04:25,890
Now you've thrown three fastballs,

1696
01:04:25,890 --> 01:04:30,270
no place where they can really hit it, they're one and two.

1697
01:04:30,270 --> 01:04:32,670
Make 'em think you'll throw another fastball,

1698
01:04:32,670 --> 01:04:35,820
and bang 'em with that slider, and we're done.

1699
01:04:35,820 --> 01:04:37,320
Bob: A swing and a miss!

1700
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,050
He threw the bat at the ball, he was really fooled.

1701
01:04:40,050 --> 01:04:43,650
-: That's the subtlety. That's the beauty of our game.

1702
01:04:43,650 --> 01:04:46,994
They are gonna die right here in our lap.

1703
01:04:46,994 --> 01:04:49,050
Okay? So... (laughs)

1704
01:04:49,050 --> 01:04:50,520
You play those games,

1705
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:52,890
and that's what Game five with Peter was.

1706
01:04:52,890 --> 01:04:55,350
He won't put us in any danger.

1707
01:04:55,350 --> 01:05:00,350
He's not some big dumb thug, beer drinking stupido.

1708
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:02,250
He is a man.

1709
01:05:02,250 --> 01:05:05,970
The kind of makeup that says, "I defy you."

1710
01:05:05,970 --> 01:05:08,010
The best teammate I ever had,

1711
01:05:08,010 --> 01:05:10,210
and probably the best friend I'll ever have.

1712
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:12,750
-: Teddy taught me this.

1713
01:05:12,750 --> 01:05:14,760
There is no correlation between how you feel

1714
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:16,710
and what you accomplish out there.

1715
01:05:16,710 --> 01:05:17,543
Period.

1716
01:05:17,543 --> 01:05:19,110
Bob: Here in the seventh, the 0-2 back,

1717
01:05:19,110 --> 01:05:21,210
Downing check swing, bouncer back to the mound.

1718
01:05:21,210 --> 01:05:23,760
On the hill, Vuke fields, throws, in time.

1719
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:24,960
-: And I felt that way.

1720
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:27,360
If I was hurt, it didn't exist.

1721
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:28,380
It just didn't exist.

1722
01:05:28,380 --> 01:05:29,213
Go.

1723
01:05:29,213 --> 01:05:30,046
Go get 'em.

1724
01:05:30,046 --> 01:05:31,500
Bob: So, here in the seventh inning.

1725
01:05:31,500 --> 01:05:34,320
With the Angels with a runner on and one out,

1726
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:38,340
leading 3-2, Vuckovich leaves to a big round from the crowd.

1727
01:05:38,340 --> 01:05:40,140
-: And we're facing a deficit late.

1728
01:05:40,140 --> 01:05:41,550
But the crowd didn't lose hope.

1729
01:05:41,550 --> 01:05:43,500
Bob: Here's the pitch, Jackson ground ball,

1730
01:05:43,500 --> 01:05:45,480
quickly to Gantner at second, Yount for one,

1731
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:47,303
the relay is hot!

1732
01:05:47,303 --> 01:05:48,807
Double play!

1733
01:05:48,807 --> 01:05:53,193
After six and a half, California 3, Milwaukee 2.

1734
01:05:54,030 --> 01:05:56,220
-: It was a close game, period.

1735
01:05:56,220 --> 01:05:58,380
Somebody's gonna make a mistake.

1736
01:05:58,380 --> 01:06:01,860
Bob: Once again, the Brewers have a scoring opportunity.

1737
01:06:01,860 --> 01:06:03,420
It is getting late.

1738
01:06:03,420 --> 01:06:05,923
They have to start to take advantage of them.

1739
01:06:05,923 --> 01:06:08,730
-: I had a chance myself, and I popped up.

1740
01:06:08,730 --> 01:06:10,700
Ball three, strike two now,

1741
01:06:10,700 --> 01:06:12,240
to the Brewers shortstop.

1742
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:13,830
How about one here for Robin?

1743
01:06:13,830 --> 01:06:14,910
The runners go...

1744
01:06:14,910 --> 01:06:18,600
Inside and high, ball four, the bases are loaded!

1745
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:19,893
Here comes Cooper.

1746
01:06:19,893 --> 01:06:21,330
Time called.

1747
01:06:21,330 --> 01:06:24,060
-: Robin gets a walk to load the bases.

1748
01:06:24,060 --> 01:06:26,340
There's a left-handed pitcher warming up.

1749
01:06:26,340 --> 01:06:27,480
And I'm on the on deck circle,

1750
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:31,410
and I'm looking just knowing that Gene Mauch

1751
01:06:31,410 --> 01:06:34,350
is gonna bring a lefty in to face me in that situation,

1752
01:06:34,350 --> 01:06:35,793
and he didn't do it.

1753
01:06:35,793 --> 01:06:38,520
Bob: The Brewers have the bases loaded.

1754
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:40,530
There are two out,

1755
01:06:40,530 --> 01:06:45,390
and Cecil Cooper can help the Brewer cause here.

1756
01:06:45,390 --> 01:06:48,780
-: Me on third base, I'm going on contact.

1757
01:06:48,780 --> 01:06:51,360
I know Cecil's gonna put it in play somewhere.

1758
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:53,160
-: Because I'd had a couple of other chances,

1759
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:54,420
and I didn't come through.

1760
01:06:54,420 --> 01:06:55,860
And you know, I always prided myself

1761
01:06:55,860 --> 01:06:57,310
on being a a clutch RBI guys.

1762
01:06:58,290 --> 01:07:02,190
And I'd had two chances and failed, miserably.

1763
01:07:02,190 --> 01:07:03,720
So...

1764
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:04,920
The pressure's mounting.

1765
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,760
So he throws, I think, ball one,

1766
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:10,060
up out of the strike zone.

1767
01:07:11,310 --> 01:07:13,350
So in my mind I'm thinking, he's gonna come in.

1768
01:07:13,350 --> 01:07:14,310
That's where he's gotta get me out.

1769
01:07:14,310 --> 01:07:15,143
Inside.

1770
01:07:15,143 --> 01:07:18,963
But instead of coming in, he throws fastball away.

1771
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:24,630
And for me, fastball away is like, you're doing me a favor.

1772
01:07:24,630 --> 01:07:25,920
That's gravy for me.

1773
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:27,150
Bob: The bases are loaded.

1774
01:07:27,150 --> 01:07:28,360
The pitch to Cooper...

1775
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:30,540
-: I hit a soft liner to left,

1776
01:07:30,540 --> 01:07:32,815
and all I could think about while I was running was

1777
01:07:32,815 --> 01:07:34,437
for the ball to get down, get down.

1778
01:07:34,437 --> 01:07:37,590
And I'm pumping my hands to get down, get down, get down.

1779
01:07:37,590 --> 01:07:39,521
And then, it got down.

1780
01:07:39,521 --> 01:07:40,720
(dramatic music)
(bat cracks)

1781
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:43,039
Bob: Base hit, left field, a liner!

1782
01:07:43,039 --> 01:07:44,189
One run home!

1783
01:07:44,189 --> 01:07:45,330
-: I'm on second base.

1784
01:07:45,330 --> 01:07:47,721
I was gonna score no matter what, or get thrown out.

1785
01:07:47,721 --> 01:07:49,440
Bob: Downing's throw coming on!

1786
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:51,869
Gantner slides, he's safe!

1787
01:07:51,869 --> 01:07:54,360
The Brewers lead 4 to 3!

1788
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,017
Cooper delivers!

1789
01:07:56,017 --> 01:07:57,120
(crowd cheers)

1790
01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:58,893
4-3, Milwaukee!

1791
01:07:58,893 --> 01:08:02,057
-: I've never seen Gumby run so fast in my life.

1792
01:08:02,057 --> 01:08:04,020
-: When I came home and slid at home,

1793
01:08:04,020 --> 01:08:06,240
and then Charlie jumped all over me.

1794
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:08,057
-: The celebration was on.

1795
01:08:08,057 --> 01:08:08,890
-: I said, "Hey, Charlie,

1796
01:08:08,890 --> 01:08:10,590
we gotta play two more innings yet, you know?"

1797
01:08:10,590 --> 01:08:11,910
So, he let me up.

1798
01:08:11,910 --> 01:08:12,893
-: And they're jumping up and down,

1799
01:08:12,893 --> 01:08:16,007
and the crowd has gone crazy.

1800
01:08:16,007 --> 01:08:16,840
(crowd cheers)
(inspiring music)

1801
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:19,773
-: Wow! What a big two-out hit by Cecil!

1802
01:08:20,855 --> 01:08:24,535
Listen to this crowd at County Stadium!

1803
01:08:24,535 --> 01:08:25,368
(crowd cheers)

1804
01:08:25,368 --> 01:08:27,180
Paul: I don't think you can see the place shaking,

1805
01:08:27,180 --> 01:08:29,670
but people say they actually felt the vibration

1806
01:08:29,670 --> 01:08:31,443
of the upper deck and the lows.

1807
01:08:33,660 --> 01:08:35,310
-: I really think I was numb.

1808
01:08:35,310 --> 01:08:36,180
I was at first base,

1809
01:08:36,180 --> 01:08:37,557
and I kinda just started looking around,

1810
01:08:37,557 --> 01:08:39,150
and I was just numb.

1811
01:08:39,150 --> 01:08:40,650
Because I mean, this is the moment

1812
01:08:40,650 --> 01:08:41,913
that everybody dreams of.

1813
01:08:42,837 --> 01:08:44,773
And you finally get one of those, you know?

1814
01:08:44,773 --> 01:08:47,241
And it was just incredible.

1815
01:08:47,241 --> 01:08:49,200
(crowd cheers)
(inspiring music)

1816
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:50,970
-: That's a crowd that I don't know

1817
01:08:50,970 --> 01:08:53,220
that I've ever heard a louder more, it was un...

1818
01:08:53,220 --> 01:08:55,080
And it never stopped.

1819
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:57,510
It never stopped.

1820
01:08:57,510 --> 01:08:59,977
And I'm thinking as they're jumping up and down,

1821
01:08:59,977 --> 01:09:01,680
"Hey, fellas, it's only the seventh inning.

1822
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:04,320
We're only ahead, for God's sakes, 4 to 3.

1823
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:05,790
We don't have Rollie,

1824
01:09:05,790 --> 01:09:08,640
we have Pete Ladd, who's given us everything he's got.

1825
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:12,051
Bob: The Angels have the tying run at second.

1826
01:09:12,051 --> 01:09:14,520
The top of the ninth inning.

1827
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:17,480
One out, and Milwaukee, leads California, 4-3.

1828
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:20,790
He looks into Simmons!

1829
01:09:20,790 --> 01:09:22,740
A look at Wilfong at second.

1830
01:09:22,740 --> 01:09:24,750
The one-two, ground ball to third,

1831
01:09:24,750 --> 01:09:26,580
Molitor, tough hop, fields...

1832
01:09:26,580 --> 01:09:28,380
Throws to first to get Downing!

1833
01:09:28,380 --> 01:09:29,929
Two out!

1834
01:09:29,929 --> 01:09:31,925
(crowd cheers)

1835
01:09:31,925 --> 01:09:35,214
Crowd: One more to go! One more to go!

1836
01:09:35,214 --> 01:09:40,214
-: I still have in my mind, two out in the ninth inning,

1837
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:41,793
Pete Ladd pitching,

1838
01:09:42,630 --> 01:09:44,853
something you dream about all your life.

1839
01:09:45,750 --> 01:09:48,033
We got a chance to go the World Series.

1840
01:09:49,230 --> 01:09:51,364
And Rod Carew is up.

1841
01:09:51,364 --> 01:09:53,340
(tense music)

1842
01:09:53,340 --> 01:09:54,630
Now I'm talking to myself,

1843
01:09:54,630 --> 01:09:57,230
because nobody else would come within 10 feet of me.

1844
01:09:58,230 --> 01:09:59,760
Why does it have to be Carew?

1845
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:01,920
Why can't it be some stiff who can't hit?

1846
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:04,020
It's gotta be the best hitter in baseball.

1847
01:10:04,020 --> 01:10:06,903
Bob: The Brewers are just one out away.

1848
01:10:06,903 --> 01:10:07,736
-: As a team...

1849
01:10:07,736 --> 01:10:09,383
-: Let's go guys, come on!

1850
01:10:09,383 --> 01:10:11,880
Crowd: Here we go Brewers, here we go!

1851
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:13,391
-: As a city...

1852
01:10:13,391 --> 01:10:14,512
(tense music)

1853
01:10:14,512 --> 01:10:15,345
(crowd cheers)

1854
01:10:15,345 --> 01:10:16,178
As a state...

1855
01:10:18,180 --> 01:10:19,590
We were so ready.

1856
01:10:19,590 --> 01:10:24,590
Bob: What you hear in the background are 54,968 fans.

1857
01:10:25,050 --> 01:10:26,253
Nobody has left.

1858
01:10:27,761 --> 01:10:30,060
-: The stadium was so loud.

1859
01:10:30,060 --> 01:10:32,670
As players, you can hear things.

1860
01:10:32,670 --> 01:10:33,810
Even when it's loud.

1861
01:10:33,810 --> 01:10:34,643
Even when...

1862
01:10:34,643 --> 01:10:36,900
You still hear the ball hit the bat.

1863
01:10:36,900 --> 01:10:40,950
And you kind of get a sense of how the ball was hit,

1864
01:10:40,950 --> 01:10:42,720
by the sound.

1865
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:45,720
But I never remember not being able

1866
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:47,913
to hear the ball hit the bat.

1867
01:10:49,260 --> 01:10:51,112
Except this time.

1868
01:10:51,112 --> 01:10:53,820
(crowd cheers)

1869
01:10:53,820 --> 01:10:54,783
Bob: Ladd ready.

1870
01:10:55,915 --> 01:10:56,748
The one-two pitch!

1871
01:10:57,690 --> 01:10:59,880
-: I didn't hear the sound of the bat

1872
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:02,040
that I was so used to hearing.

1873
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:03,620
And it was kind of...

1874
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:06,753
Eerie. It was odd.

1875
01:11:07,715 --> 01:11:09,437
I questioned on how hard he hit it.

1876
01:11:09,437 --> 01:11:10,710
-: It was a one hopper.

1877
01:11:10,710 --> 01:11:12,930
Good thing, 'cause he smoked the ball.

1878
01:11:12,930 --> 01:11:16,080
-: It came right up to me, a perfect one hop.

1879
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:19,500
I go to throw it to first base, and I let it go.

1880
01:11:19,500 --> 01:11:21,240
-: I'm like, "Oh my god, this is it.

1881
01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:22,073
This is it."

1882
01:11:22,073 --> 01:11:23,610
All I could think about was just catching the ball

1883
01:11:23,610 --> 01:11:24,443
and jumping.

1884
01:11:24,443 --> 01:11:29,013
-: And I'm watching this ball go across the diamond to Coop.

1885
01:11:30,270 --> 01:11:33,870
And I swear to you, they've turned the dial back,

1886
01:11:33,870 --> 01:11:36,090
and it's in slow motion.

1887
01:11:36,090 --> 01:11:39,090
I'm not sure it's ever gonna get there.

1888
01:11:39,090 --> 01:11:40,830
-: The ball looked like it was just a slow motion.

1889
01:11:40,830 --> 01:11:42,690
Coming across, coming across, coming across.

1890
01:11:42,690 --> 01:11:43,523
Hurry, get here.

1891
01:11:43,523 --> 01:11:45,420
-: It was the craziest thing.

1892
01:11:45,420 --> 01:11:47,772
Bob: Ball lined to Yount at short!

1893
01:11:47,772 --> 01:11:49,149
He throws...

1894
01:11:49,149 --> 01:11:50,991
It's over!
(upbeat music)

1895
01:11:50,991 --> 01:11:51,924
(crowd cheers)

1896
01:11:51,924 --> 01:11:55,361
The Brewers have won the American League pennant!

1897
01:11:55,361 --> 01:11:56,646
Commentator: Milwaukee has won it!

1898
01:11:56,646 --> 01:12:00,229
Bob: Milwaukee, you have a World Series!

1899
01:12:01,077 --> 01:12:04,416
(crowd cheers)
(upbeat music continues)

1900
01:12:04,416 --> 01:12:06,088
-: And so the Milwaukee Brewers

1901
01:12:06,088 --> 01:12:08,752
who one week ago in Baltimore dodged a bullet,

1902
01:12:08,752 --> 01:12:09,864
have done it again!

1903
01:12:09,864 --> 01:12:13,230
A dramatic bases loaded two out single by Cecil Cooper,

1904
01:12:13,230 --> 01:12:14,797
and the Milwaukee Brewers are into the World Series!

1905
01:12:16,384 --> 01:12:20,061
Bob: Thousands of people streaming onto the field

1906
01:12:20,061 --> 01:12:21,561
at County Stadium!

1907
01:12:22,977 --> 01:12:26,410
♪ Let the music do ya ♪

1908
01:12:26,410 --> 01:12:29,657
♪ Call my body familiar ♪

1909
01:12:29,657 --> 01:12:32,570
(crowd cheers)

1910
01:12:32,570 --> 01:12:36,224
♪ Rockin' all night away ♪

1911
01:12:36,224 --> 01:12:39,200
♪ Rockin' the night away ♪

1912
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:40,590
-: It was tough to get off the field,

1913
01:12:40,590 --> 01:12:42,750
but we didn't care, we're so pumped up.

1914
01:12:42,750 --> 01:12:45,840
One kid tried to take my glove, and I pulled that back.

1915
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:49,200
I said, "You can have everything I got, but not my glove."

1916
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,870
-: We did what we're supposed to, and we got there.

1917
01:12:51,870 --> 01:12:53,250
It doesn't matter how.

1918
01:12:53,250 --> 01:12:54,690
They lost it in Baltimore.

1919
01:12:54,690 --> 01:12:55,830
And you wanna know something else?

1920
01:12:55,830 --> 01:12:58,140
They lost it in California too.

1921
01:12:58,140 --> 01:13:00,990
But it was relief.

1922
01:13:00,990 --> 01:13:02,243
Relief.

1923
01:13:02,243 --> 01:13:05,685
Bob: It is absolute pandemonium!

1924
01:13:05,685 --> 01:13:08,737
They have defeated the California Angels!

1925
01:13:08,737 --> 01:13:12,120
-: This is what we've all wanted and dreamed about.

1926
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:12,953
We made it!

1927
01:13:12,953 --> 01:13:15,158
We're in the World Series!

1928
01:13:15,158 --> 01:13:16,620
Bob: This is the greatest thing

1929
01:13:16,620 --> 01:13:19,069
I've ever seen in my life!

1930
01:13:19,069 --> 01:13:21,733
It's absolutely outstanding!

1931
01:13:21,733 --> 01:13:24,733
(upbeat rock music)

1932
01:13:26,100 --> 01:13:28,797
-: That night I got home hours after the game,

1933
01:13:28,797 --> 01:13:30,990
and I have a little radio that I still use

1934
01:13:30,990 --> 01:13:32,730
that I had on and...

1935
01:13:32,730 --> 01:13:34,530
Bob: The Brewers have done it!

1936
01:13:34,530 --> 01:13:36,990
They're gonna the World Series!

1937
01:13:36,990 --> 01:13:39,135
And this voice says,

1938
01:13:39,135 --> 01:13:41,670
"It's the 79th World Series,

1939
01:13:41,670 --> 01:13:45,777
between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Milwaukee Brewers."

1940
01:13:47,700 --> 01:13:50,400
And I'm not embarrassed to tell you, I started to cry.

1941
01:13:51,405 --> 01:13:55,238
(upbeat rock music continues)

1942
01:14:02,957 --> 01:14:04,075
-: I love the Brewers!

1943
01:14:04,075 --> 01:14:06,742
(crowd screams)

1944
01:14:08,029 --> 01:14:09,492
(phone rings)

1945
01:14:09,492 --> 01:14:11,427
-: Good morning, American League champion Brewers.

1946
01:14:11,427 --> 01:14:13,290
Reporter: The first seat and standing room tickets

1947
01:14:13,290 --> 01:14:15,840
went on sale for all three World Series games

1948
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:17,370
scheduled here next weekend.

1949
01:14:17,370 --> 01:14:19,273
-: One, two, three, four.

1950
01:14:19,273 --> 01:14:21,060
-: I got 'em, I got 'em, for tomorrow's game!

1951
01:14:21,060 --> 01:14:23,040
Reporter: The fans are appreciating what's happening

1952
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:24,270
at County Stadium, Milwaukee.

1953
01:14:24,270 --> 01:14:27,300
Crowd: Here we go, Brewers, here we go!

1954
01:14:27,300 --> 01:14:30,210
-: This has been a hard year economically for our town.

1955
01:14:30,210 --> 01:14:31,410
This is a bit of a diversion.

1956
01:14:31,410 --> 01:14:33,300
Reporter: 10,000 visitors are expected

1957
01:14:33,300 --> 01:14:34,627
for each of the three games.

1958
01:14:34,627 --> 01:14:37,770
$2 million in additional revenue to the city.

1959
01:14:37,770 --> 01:14:39,027
Speaker: The restaurants are all pretty booked,

1960
01:14:39,027 --> 01:14:40,625
the bars are packed.

1961
01:14:40,625 --> 01:14:42,210
(fans screaming)

1962
01:14:42,210 --> 01:14:44,760
Reporter: Shoppers are going bananas over the Brewers.

1963
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:48,300
Anything that's blue and gold and Brewer is selling,

1964
01:14:48,300 --> 01:14:51,030
all in honor of the new American League champs.

1965
01:14:51,030 --> 01:14:52,800
-: Milwaukee has not had a flag winner

1966
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:55,770
since back in the days of the old Milwaukee Braves.

1967
01:14:55,770 --> 01:14:59,580
Now, the Milwaukee Brewers has become a huge source of pride

1968
01:14:59,580 --> 01:15:00,455
in dairy land.

1969
01:15:00,455 --> 01:15:02,744
-: We're number one!

1970
01:15:02,744 --> 01:15:05,830
(fans cheering)
(fists banging)

1971
01:15:05,830 --> 01:15:06,827
-: We're taking it.

1972
01:15:06,827 --> 01:15:08,682
We're gonna take it! They're gonna do it!

1973
01:15:08,682 --> 01:15:09,870
Yeah!

1974
01:15:09,870 --> 01:15:11,736
Brewers!
(fans screaming)

1975
01:15:11,736 --> 01:15:13,620
-: It's going to be the Milwaukee Brewers power

1976
01:15:13,620 --> 01:15:15,480
against the St. Louis Cardinals speed,

1977
01:15:15,480 --> 01:15:18,180
when baseball's 77th World Series gets started

1978
01:15:18,180 --> 01:15:19,830
tomorrow night in St. Louis.

1979
01:15:19,830 --> 01:15:23,400
-: It's the city on the river versus the city on the lake.

1980
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:25,620
Only 400 miles separate the two cities.

1981
01:15:25,620 --> 01:15:28,620
-: St. Louis and Milwaukee are two very similar cities,

1982
01:15:28,620 --> 01:15:30,840
both wonderful baseball towns.

1983
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:32,490
Reporter: The town with the best selling beer

1984
01:15:32,490 --> 01:15:34,800
against the home of the second best seller.

1985
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:38,070
That's why sportswriters call this the "Suds Series".

1986
01:15:38,070 --> 01:15:39,810
Reporter: With the Brewers battling St. Louis

1987
01:15:39,810 --> 01:15:41,520
for the World Championship,

1988
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:43,980
Bud drinkers are staying out of sight.

1989
01:15:43,980 --> 01:15:45,736
-: Because Bud gives me a headache.

1990
01:15:45,736 --> 01:15:47,520
(people laughing)

1991
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:50,250
-: Getting to the World Series was the ultimate goal.

1992
01:15:50,250 --> 01:15:51,450
We're gonna try to bring the World Series

1993
01:15:51,450 --> 01:15:52,530
back again to Milwaukee.

1994
01:15:52,530 --> 01:15:54,243
There was a lot of joy.

1995
01:15:54,243 --> 01:15:55,110
A lot of joy.

1996
01:15:55,110 --> 01:15:57,503
-: You know, you dream as a kid getting the World Series,

1997
01:15:57,503 --> 01:15:59,520
and the dream finally comes true,

1998
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:01,440
and I remember getting to the ball park,

1999
01:16:01,440 --> 01:16:04,170
and getting on the field for batting practice.

2000
01:16:04,170 --> 01:16:06,840
I mean, there was so much media on in the field, you know.

2001
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:08,640
It was tough taking batting practice.

2002
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,400
We always said once the game started, we were at peace.

2003
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:13,197
-: I looked out on the field during batting practice,

2004
01:16:13,197 --> 01:16:15,517
and the first thing that came to my mind is,

2005
01:16:15,517 --> 01:16:19,770
"Boy, does that ball club, St. Louis, look fresh."

2006
01:16:19,770 --> 01:16:21,960
And I looked at our guys, and I'm just like,

2007
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:23,790
they've been through hell.

2008
01:16:23,790 --> 01:16:27,420
Ever since the last week of the season,

2009
01:16:27,420 --> 01:16:29,550
they have been fighting, clawing,

2010
01:16:29,550 --> 01:16:32,310
scrapping just to get here,

2011
01:16:32,310 --> 01:16:34,650
and now it's as though you've run a marathon,

2012
01:16:34,650 --> 01:16:39,360
and now someone moved the finish line an extra mile.

2013
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:40,860
And you're like, "Ugh!"

2014
01:16:40,860 --> 01:16:42,030
-: I think the biggest satisfaction

2015
01:16:42,030 --> 01:16:44,370
is just about playing for 10 or 11 years,

2016
01:16:44,370 --> 01:16:47,223
and finally getting into my first World Series.

2017
01:16:48,660 --> 01:16:49,973
I'm just looking very forward to it,

2018
01:16:49,973 --> 01:16:51,687
and I'm very happy to be here.

2019
01:16:51,687 --> 01:16:54,450
Announcer: The starting pitcher, number 48,

2020
01:16:54,450 --> 01:16:56,220
Mike Caldwell!

2021
01:16:56,220 --> 01:16:59,540
-: Once you start warming up, it all becomes routine.

2022
01:16:59,540 --> 01:17:01,685
(uptempo music)

2023
01:17:01,685 --> 01:17:02,697
I was ready to go.

2024
01:17:02,697 --> 01:17:05,220
The people around you are ready to go.

2025
01:17:05,220 --> 01:17:06,780
Commentator: Left-hander Mike Caldwell,

2026
01:17:06,780 --> 01:17:08,520
completing his warmup pitches now.

2027
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:10,200
-: I knew if I could keep the other team

2028
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:11,730
from putting up a lot of crooked numbers,

2029
01:17:11,730 --> 01:17:12,810
I had a chance to win,

2030
01:17:12,810 --> 01:17:14,850
because I had a good defense, good offense.

2031
01:17:14,850 --> 01:17:17,147
Bob: The wind up by Caldwell and the pitch to Herr,

2032
01:17:17,147 --> 01:17:18,870
tapped on the ground toward short.

2033
01:17:18,870 --> 01:17:20,190
Robin, an easy play.

2034
01:17:20,190 --> 01:17:21,963
The throw, yes, one down.

2035
01:17:22,939 --> 01:17:26,430
(uptempo music)
(umpire shouting)

2036
01:17:26,430 --> 01:17:28,890
Iron Mike Caldwell has now retired

2037
01:17:28,890 --> 01:17:30,517
the last five he has faced.

2038
01:17:30,517 --> 01:17:31,608
Caldwell delivers...

2039
01:17:31,608 --> 01:17:32,441
Throws in time!

2040
01:17:32,441 --> 01:17:34,740
The pitch by Caldwell, this pitch hit off the fist,

2041
01:17:34,740 --> 01:17:35,700
a little looper the air.

2042
01:17:35,700 --> 01:17:36,963
Three up, three down.

2043
01:17:37,917 --> 01:17:39,360
Keith: There's a base hit to left field.

2044
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:40,500
Here's Paul Molitor.

2045
01:17:40,500 --> 01:17:43,740
Hits the first pitch in the hole, watch Ozzie Smith!

2046
01:17:43,740 --> 01:17:44,700
Safe!

2047
01:17:44,700 --> 01:17:46,190
Yount, there's a base hit,

2048
01:17:46,190 --> 01:17:49,290
and Molitor will stop at second base.

2049
01:17:49,290 --> 01:17:52,320
-: Yeah, Paulie and I had a pretty good game one.

2050
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:54,060
-: If your first two hitters get nine hits,

2051
01:17:54,060 --> 01:17:56,250
you probably got a pretty good chance to win.

2052
01:17:56,250 --> 01:17:57,390
Commentator: Another base hit.

2053
01:17:57,390 --> 01:17:59,610
Paul Molitor, he is 3 for 4.

2054
01:17:59,610 --> 01:18:02,066
-: Yeah, they took all my heat when they got all those hits.

2055
01:18:02,066 --> 01:18:03,416
(Mike laughs)

2056
01:18:03,416 --> 01:18:05,770
Keith: Bloop to right, that could be trouble.

2057
01:18:05,770 --> 01:18:06,660
Fair ball.

2058
01:18:06,660 --> 01:18:08,653
And it's 6 to 0, Milwaukee,

2059
01:18:08,653 --> 01:18:11,040
on a bloop double by Robin Yount.

2060
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:14,280
The fans here at Busch Stadium are becoming restless.

2061
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:16,350
-: I just remember we scored a lot of runs.

2062
01:18:16,350 --> 01:18:19,590
Keith: This one's fair, and he will touch 'em all!

2063
01:18:19,590 --> 01:18:21,060
Commentator: This Milwaukee club, I tell ya,

2064
01:18:21,060 --> 01:18:22,620
they come out swinging.

2065
01:18:22,620 --> 01:18:24,483
-: Mike was his usual dominant self.

2066
01:18:25,557 --> 01:18:27,128
Bob: Swing, and a foul tip!

2067
01:18:27,128 --> 01:18:29,310
Simmons hangs on, strike three!

2068
01:18:29,310 --> 01:18:30,267
-: Oh, Mikey was...

2069
01:18:30,267 --> 01:18:31,590
Oh, Mikey was Mikey.

2070
01:18:31,590 --> 01:18:33,210
-: It was vintage Caldwell.

2071
01:18:33,210 --> 01:18:34,650
-: I threw a lot of ground balls.

2072
01:18:34,650 --> 01:18:35,970
I didn't walk too many guys.

2073
01:18:35,970 --> 01:18:37,350
Didn't strike many people out.

2074
01:18:37,350 --> 01:18:40,620
Bob: Drills one hooper to first, Cooper fields,

2075
01:18:40,620 --> 01:18:42,540
throws to Caldwell.

2076
01:18:42,540 --> 01:18:45,390
-: Simba, he goes, "I just put my glove,

2077
01:18:45,390 --> 01:18:48,390
and he hit it, all night long.

2078
01:18:48,390 --> 01:18:49,410
Masterful.

2079
01:18:49,410 --> 01:18:51,900
Bob: Swing and a miss, and Lonnie Smith is gone!

2080
01:18:51,900 --> 01:18:55,110
Caldwell has never been better than he has been tonight.

2081
01:18:55,110 --> 01:18:57,570
-: First game couldn't have gone better.

2082
01:18:57,570 --> 01:18:59,934
Commentator: Knocks it down, he's up, here's the throw...

2083
01:18:59,934 --> 01:19:01,156
It is not in time!

2084
01:19:01,156 --> 01:19:02,040
That's a fifth base hit.

2085
01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:04,110
Commentator: That's a World Series record.

2086
01:19:04,110 --> 01:19:06,120
Commentator: Harvey's Wallbangers are banging it

2087
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:07,920
all over the place.

2088
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:09,880
Bob: Caldwell has been brilliant.

2089
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:12,420
The two-two pitch is hit in the air,

2090
01:19:12,420 --> 01:19:14,010
playable on the infield.

2091
01:19:14,010 --> 01:19:17,103
The Brewers own the series one game to nothing!

2092
01:19:17,103 --> 01:19:19,410
Mike: It's easy to throw a three hit shutout,

2093
01:19:19,410 --> 01:19:21,480
especially when you have 10 runs.

2094
01:19:21,480 --> 01:19:23,370
-: We were the absolute opposite

2095
01:19:23,370 --> 01:19:26,447
of what we were opening Game against the Angels.

2096
01:19:26,447 --> 01:19:28,770
-: It was a thrill being in the World Series.

2097
01:19:28,770 --> 01:19:29,847
But now you gotta get over the thrill,

2098
01:19:29,847 --> 01:19:31,597
and you gotta win the World Series.

2099
01:19:32,653 --> 01:19:37,653
(tense piano music)
(fans cheering)

2100
01:19:39,750 --> 01:19:41,250
Keith: So, it's Peter Ladd.

2101
01:19:41,250 --> 01:19:43,893
Bottom of the eighth, all tied at four apiece.

2102
01:19:45,810 --> 01:19:48,090
-: It was game two in St. Louis.

2103
01:19:48,090 --> 01:19:51,360
And all I know is we had a chance to win the ball game.

2104
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:53,580
Keith: One man out, three and two the count,

2105
01:19:53,580 --> 01:19:55,410
Hendrick is on at second base,

2106
01:19:55,410 --> 01:19:56,850
Porter is on at first base,

2107
01:19:56,850 --> 01:19:58,400
and Lonnie Smith is the batter.

2108
01:19:59,613 --> 01:20:02,010
(crowd cheers)

2109
01:20:02,010 --> 01:20:03,390
-: Then Pete threw a pitch that I thought

2110
01:20:03,390 --> 01:20:05,467
was right down the middle.

2111
01:20:08,313 --> 01:20:10,728
Keith: Ball four! Bases are loaded!

2112
01:20:10,728 --> 01:20:11,987
Commentator: Wow, I cannot believe it,

2113
01:20:11,987 --> 01:20:13,140
neither can Peter Ladd.

2114
01:20:13,140 --> 01:20:15,720
Keith: Look at Harvey Kuenn, he can't believe it either.

2115
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:16,950
Commentator: I'd like to see that one again.

2116
01:20:16,950 --> 01:20:18,450
That looked like a good pitch.

2117
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:21,222
-: I thought it was strike.

2118
01:20:21,222 --> 01:20:22,145
Commentator: Simmons turned

2119
01:20:22,145 --> 01:20:24,047
on home plate umpire, Bill Haller.

2120
01:20:24,047 --> 01:20:26,940
He is still talking to Bill Haller!

2121
01:20:26,940 --> 01:20:28,170
Ted: Pete Ladd thought it was a strike.

2122
01:20:28,170 --> 01:20:29,548
-: I thought it was over the plate,

2123
01:20:29,548 --> 01:20:31,380
and a lot of other people thought it was.

2124
01:20:31,380 --> 01:20:33,480
And Lonnie Smith said it was.

2125
01:20:33,480 --> 01:20:35,230
Reporter: How surprised were you by that call?

2126
01:20:35,230 --> 01:20:36,693
-: I was pretty surprised.

2127
01:20:38,070 --> 01:20:38,903
-: Bong!

2128
01:20:38,903 --> 01:20:41,550
Everybody was there, everything was there,

2129
01:20:41,550 --> 01:20:44,310
it was right like it was supposed to be,

2130
01:20:44,310 --> 01:20:46,290
and the one guy who wasn't there

2131
01:20:46,290 --> 01:20:48,620
was the guy who had to make the call.

2132
01:20:48,620 --> 01:20:50,190
He wasn't there.

2133
01:20:50,190 --> 01:20:52,290
Commentator: Teddy is having an extended conversation

2134
01:20:52,290 --> 01:20:53,310
with Bill Haller.

2135
01:20:53,310 --> 01:20:54,143
They're now loaded up.

2136
01:20:54,143 --> 01:20:56,640
Mike: I think Pete got hosed a little bit on that call.

2137
01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:57,933
-: That was strike three.

2138
01:20:58,890 --> 01:21:02,850
-: I've seen when situations like that occur,

2139
01:21:02,850 --> 01:21:05,880
and then eventually cost you four, five runs,

2140
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:08,370
when it might've been the third out.

2141
01:21:08,370 --> 01:21:10,970
And you want to just turn and punch a hole in that mask.

2142
01:21:10,970 --> 01:21:13,590
'Cause now he's not only blowing the pitch,

2143
01:21:13,590 --> 01:21:15,600
but now he's blown everything.

2144
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:18,761
-: Unfortunately, I got rattled from that.

2145
01:21:18,761 --> 01:21:19,997
(crowd cheers)

2146
01:21:19,997 --> 01:21:21,844
Keith: Ball one.

2147
01:21:21,844 --> 01:21:22,677
Ball two.

2148
01:21:23,938 --> 01:21:24,855
Ball three.

2149
01:21:26,355 --> 01:21:28,679
Cardinals take the lead 5-4,

2150
01:21:28,679 --> 01:21:31,150
as Ladd walked in the tiebreaking run.

2151
01:21:31,150 --> 01:21:33,983
And this crowd is all on its feet.

2152
01:21:35,756 --> 01:21:36,773
(crowd roars)

2153
01:21:36,773 --> 01:21:40,648
Bob: And the Cardinals take game two!

2154
01:21:40,648 --> 01:21:41,481
-: We could have gone into the ninth inning

2155
01:21:41,481 --> 01:21:43,290
with the game still tied.

2156
01:21:43,290 --> 01:21:45,720
When you lose 'em that way, it it's very tough.

2157
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:47,013
-: That one pitch beat us.

2158
01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:48,953
That ball, he was out.

2159
01:21:48,953 --> 01:21:50,790
That's strike three.

2160
01:21:50,790 --> 01:21:51,990
They don't score.

2161
01:21:51,990 --> 01:21:52,823
They don't score.

2162
01:21:52,823 --> 01:21:56,229
-: You just know how, oh, how untimely.

2163
01:21:56,229 --> 01:22:00,030
Bob: So, the World Series here is tied at one game each,

2164
01:22:00,030 --> 01:22:04,530
game three coming up Friday night back at County Stadium.

2165
01:22:04,530 --> 01:22:07,230
-: The third game will be played in Milwaukee tomorrow.

2166
01:22:07,230 --> 01:22:08,137
-: Well, we're feeling good now.

2167
01:22:08,137 --> 01:22:11,010
You know, we're not down 2-0 this time.

2168
01:22:11,010 --> 01:22:12,990
We're coming back to Milwaukee and we're even.

2169
01:22:12,990 --> 01:22:14,439
This is pretty good.

2170
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:19,439
(upbeat rock music)
(people screaming)

2171
01:22:20,216 --> 01:22:21,360
-: You get back to Milwaukee.

2172
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:23,100
Now, the town is alive.

2173
01:22:23,100 --> 01:22:24,920
It's the World Series.

2174
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:27,030
-: Folks up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

2175
01:22:27,030 --> 01:22:29,300
are seeing their first home World Series game

2176
01:22:29,300 --> 01:22:30,440
in 24 years tonight.

2177
01:22:30,440 --> 01:22:33,150
Reporter: 15,000 strong polka and chant

2178
01:22:33,150 --> 01:22:36,240
and share the joy that's been 25 years and coming.

2179
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:39,591
-: Its something people can relate to. It lifts their spirit.

2180
01:22:39,591 --> 01:22:41,158
-: Charlie Moore is such a fox!

2181
01:22:41,158 --> 01:22:42,090
(girls yelling)

2182
01:22:42,090 --> 01:22:44,010
-: Makes 'em feel a part of something,

2183
01:22:44,010 --> 01:22:46,170
and it feels like they've got somebody out there

2184
01:22:46,170 --> 01:22:47,460
going for them too.

2185
01:22:47,460 --> 01:22:49,590
-: The town was painted blue and gold.

2186
01:22:49,590 --> 01:22:52,560
Anywhere you went, you could feel World Series.

2187
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:53,910
Reporter: Businesses everywhere

2188
01:22:53,910 --> 01:22:56,040
are cashing in on Brewer fever.

2189
01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:57,090
-: It's just been crazy.

2190
01:22:57,090 --> 01:22:59,100
Busiest I've had in company history.

2191
01:22:59,100 --> 01:23:00,780
I've never seen so many Brewer fans in my life,

2192
01:23:00,780 --> 01:23:01,613
and I love it.

2193
01:23:01,613 --> 01:23:03,840
-: We're delighted when we can contribute

2194
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:06,900
to the resurgence of the economy here in the last month

2195
01:23:06,900 --> 01:23:07,890
as a result of all this.

2196
01:23:07,890 --> 01:23:09,780
In the last week, I've been able to see

2197
01:23:09,780 --> 01:23:11,190
the spirit and the community,

2198
01:23:11,190 --> 01:23:12,945
and it's great experience to go through.

2199
01:23:12,945 --> 01:23:15,120
(upbeat rock music fades)

2200
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:16,320
-: It's classic, right?

2201
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:18,750
The whole script is written, what a great matchup.

2202
01:23:18,750 --> 01:23:22,333
They split the first two games, and here we go, game three.

2203
01:23:22,333 --> 01:23:27,333
(crowd cheers)
(lighthearted music)

2204
01:23:29,460 --> 01:23:32,477
Keith: County Stadium, Milwaukee the scene for game three

2205
01:23:32,477 --> 01:23:34,440
of the 1982 World Series-

2206
01:23:34,440 --> 01:23:36,360
Reporter: Brewers and Cardinals tied at one game a piece.

2207
01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:38,730
Joaquín Andújar goes against Pete Vuckovich.

2208
01:23:38,730 --> 01:23:41,430
Keith: We're ready for baseball here at County Stadium,

2209
01:23:41,430 --> 01:23:42,730
and here come the Brewers!

2210
01:23:44,321 --> 01:23:47,404
(lighthearted music)

2211
01:23:49,353 --> 01:23:50,186
-: It doesn't matter who you're playing.

2212
01:23:50,186 --> 01:23:52,500
Vuke is gonna give it his best.

2213
01:23:52,500 --> 01:23:54,960
-: He would've gone out, and if his right arm didn't work,

2214
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:57,030
he would've put the ball in his left hand,

2215
01:23:57,030 --> 01:23:57,990
and thrown it left hand.

2216
01:23:57,990 --> 01:24:01,830
He was not gonna not pitch in these games.

2217
01:24:01,830 --> 01:24:02,850
Commentator: Vuckovich, very intense.

2218
01:24:02,850 --> 01:24:05,580
When he's on the mound, he is a serious young man.

2219
01:24:05,580 --> 01:24:06,480
Keith: Game three!

2220
01:24:06,480 --> 01:24:09,243
Vuke ready, and the first pitch of tonight's game.

2221
01:24:10,186 --> 01:24:11,894
Bob: And here's a chopper back to the mound.

2222
01:24:11,894 --> 01:24:14,310
Vuke's got it, and the side retired.

2223
01:24:14,310 --> 01:24:15,810
Commentator: Grounded to short, Yount has it.

2224
01:24:15,810 --> 01:24:17,910
Off the edge of the grass, throws in time.

2225
01:24:17,910 --> 01:24:19,380
Bob: Strike three called.

2226
01:24:19,380 --> 01:24:21,810
He got Porter on the inside. Porter.

2227
01:24:21,810 --> 01:24:26,520
(crowd cheers)
(uptempo music)

2228
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:28,380
-: And then of all things...

2229
01:24:28,380 --> 01:24:30,570
Bob: Willie McGee, a switch hitter.

2230
01:24:30,570 --> 01:24:32,577
From the stretch, Vuckovich ready.

2231
01:24:32,577 --> 01:24:33,833
And the pitch to McGee...

2232
01:24:33,833 --> 01:24:34,666
(bat cracks)

2233
01:24:34,666 --> 01:24:36,330
Is hit in the air to the right.

2234
01:24:36,330 --> 01:24:38,580
Back goes Moore, towards the wall,

2235
01:24:38,580 --> 01:24:40,980
this ball is gone for McGee,

2236
01:24:40,980 --> 01:24:43,500
and the Cardinals lead 3-0.

2237
01:24:43,500 --> 01:24:46,020
Willie McGee with a three run homer,

2238
01:24:46,020 --> 01:24:48,720
and St. Louis strikes first tonight.

2239
01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:50,190
Keith: Rookie Willie McGee,

2240
01:24:50,190 --> 01:24:55,130
and his first world series hit is a three run home run.

2241
01:24:55,130 --> 01:24:56,790
-: Holy cow. You kiddin' me?

2242
01:24:56,790 --> 01:24:58,260
Bob: Four runs on four hits.

2243
01:24:58,260 --> 01:25:00,450
The Cardinals have made them count tonight.

2244
01:25:00,450 --> 01:25:03,660
A double and a three run Homer by this man, McGee.

2245
01:25:03,660 --> 01:25:04,493
(bat cracks)
Commentator: Oh, look out.

2246
01:25:04,493 --> 01:25:06,720
Bob: Uh oh, that's two for McGee.

2247
01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:08,457
Another homer!

2248
01:25:08,457 --> 01:25:09,572
-: Oh!

2249
01:25:09,572 --> 01:25:11,254
Commentator: What a day that kid's having.

2250
01:25:11,254 --> 01:25:12,087
Bob: Willie McGee.

2251
01:25:12,087 --> 01:25:15,840
Four home runs all season, and two home runs tonight.

2252
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:18,207
-: Willie McGee hits a couple of home runs.

2253
01:25:18,207 --> 01:25:19,040
What the hell?

2254
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:20,850
I mean, that was shocking.

2255
01:25:20,850 --> 01:25:22,860
-: He had the game of his life.

2256
01:25:22,860 --> 01:25:24,847
Commentator: Molitor hits in the air to deep center,

2257
01:25:24,847 --> 01:25:25,680
back goes McGee!

2258
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:28,740
Still going back, against the wall, he's got it!

2259
01:25:28,740 --> 01:25:31,430
-: And he took one away from me, the same damn day.

2260
01:25:31,430 --> 01:25:34,113
Bob: So, Oglivie is on, here is Gorman Thomas.

2261
01:25:37,525 --> 01:25:38,520
(bat cracks)

2262
01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:40,556
Well hit, way back!

2263
01:25:40,556 --> 01:25:42,473
Listen to the reaction!

2264
01:25:43,340 --> 01:25:44,173
Commentator: Oh boy!
Bob: He got it!

2265
01:25:44,173 --> 01:25:46,743
What a catch he made, Willie McGee!

2266
01:25:47,790 --> 01:25:49,170
Willie McGee.

2267
01:25:49,170 --> 01:25:50,730
With the bat and with the glove,

2268
01:25:50,730 --> 01:25:52,383
he's been a one man show tonight.

2269
01:25:53,970 --> 01:25:55,233
-: Strange things happen.

2270
01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:57,840
Bob: This could be the ball game.

2271
01:25:57,840 --> 01:25:59,523
McGee, coming in.

2272
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:02,847
He makes the catch.

2273
01:26:02,847 --> 01:26:05,760
So, Willie McGee, and it was the Willie McGee night.

2274
01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:08,400
The youngster with two home runs, one a three run homer,

2275
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:10,230
a sensational catch to take a home run

2276
01:26:10,230 --> 01:26:12,000
away from Gorman Thomas.

2277
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:14,283
-: You lose that game three, then it's like,

2278
01:26:15,420 --> 01:26:16,857
all right, we gotta get serious here.

2279
01:26:16,857 --> 01:26:19,563
-: And so the Saturday game, we gotta win.

2280
01:26:20,492 --> 01:26:21,450
(tense music)

2281
01:26:21,450 --> 01:26:23,880
Commentator: Cardinals lead one to nothing, one man out.

2282
01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:25,650
Willie McGee is on at third.

2283
01:26:25,650 --> 01:26:27,300
Ozzie Smith is on at second.

2284
01:26:27,300 --> 01:26:29,610
One of those innings that's lagging on and on.

2285
01:26:29,610 --> 01:26:32,340
It's up to Haas to get it up there and get somebody out.

2286
01:26:32,340 --> 01:26:35,850
-: Early in the game, Tommy Herr, he hits a fly ball.

2287
01:26:35,850 --> 01:26:36,750
Dead center.

2288
01:26:36,750 --> 01:26:39,060
Bob: Hit in the air into center, this will score a run.

2289
01:26:39,060 --> 01:26:41,910
Thomas drifting back, still going back, still going back...

2290
01:26:41,910 --> 01:26:42,900
-: I turn...

2291
01:26:42,900 --> 01:26:44,490
Bob: The ball really carrying.

2292
01:26:44,490 --> 01:26:45,323
Gorman: Caught it.

2293
01:26:45,323 --> 01:26:46,350
Bob: He fell down!

2294
01:26:46,350 --> 01:26:48,270
My knee buckled, popped.

2295
01:26:48,270 --> 01:26:49,380
Commentator: Gorman Thomas falls!

2296
01:26:49,380 --> 01:26:50,940
They're gonna try to score two!

2297
01:26:50,940 --> 01:26:52,508
Here comes the relay throw!

2298
01:26:52,508 --> 01:26:53,610
It is...

2299
01:26:53,610 --> 01:26:54,927
Not in time!

2300
01:26:54,927 --> 01:26:57,028
(uptempo music)
(crowd boos)

2301
01:26:57,028 --> 01:26:57,861
-: Come on!

2302
01:26:58,806 --> 01:27:01,650
-: I think that's the first time ever that it happened.

2303
01:27:01,650 --> 01:27:03,360
Bob: Hernandez hits on the ground to second,

2304
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:05,580
Gantner right through his legs, an error.

2305
01:27:05,580 --> 01:27:06,900
A run will score.

2306
01:27:06,900 --> 01:27:09,870
He lines it past Molitor, to the left field corner.

2307
01:27:09,870 --> 01:27:11,130
It's going to be an extra base hit.

2308
01:27:11,130 --> 01:27:13,380
-: I think I kind of had forgotten how bad

2309
01:27:13,380 --> 01:27:15,060
things kinda did look there for a while.

2310
01:27:15,060 --> 01:27:16,320
Bob: The Cardinals in the seventh,

2311
01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:18,780
leading by a score of 5 to 1.

2312
01:27:18,780 --> 01:27:20,407
Here's Ben Oglivie stepping in.

2313
01:27:20,407 --> 01:27:22,680
Speaker: I remember LaPoint pitching.

2314
01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:24,390
Bob: Oglivie hits on the ground.

2315
01:27:24,390 --> 01:27:27,510
Hernandez backs behind first, takes it after a big high hop,

2316
01:27:27,510 --> 01:27:29,007
he throws to LaPoint...

2317
01:27:29,007 --> 01:27:30,000
-: And he dropped it.

2318
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:31,080
He clanked it.

2319
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:33,417
Bob: Dropped the ball, and Oglivie's on!

2320
01:27:33,417 --> 01:27:35,400
-: And that was a big play in the game.

2321
01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:36,653
-: It's a momentum changer.

2322
01:27:36,653 --> 01:27:39,750
And the game just totally changed direction.

2323
01:27:39,750 --> 01:27:40,583
Bob: The pitch to Money,

2324
01:27:40,583 --> 01:27:42,497
and he lifts it over the head of Herr,

2325
01:27:42,497 --> 01:27:44,790
and to short right, a base hit!

2326
01:27:44,790 --> 01:27:47,190
The pitch on the way, Gantner lifts, right center.

2327
01:27:47,190 --> 01:27:49,200
A little fly ball is gonna get down!

2328
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:51,204
Hendrick cuts it off, one run home.

2329
01:27:51,204 --> 01:27:54,593
Money to third, Oglivie scores, it's a double for Gantner.

2330
01:27:54,593 --> 01:27:57,341
5-2 now! Let's keep it going!

2331
01:27:57,341 --> 01:27:59,383
(crowd cheers)

2332
01:27:59,383 --> 01:28:02,900
-: Here we go, Brewers, here we go!

2333
01:28:02,900 --> 01:28:05,513
Bob: Check swing, blooped to the right, a base hit!

2334
01:28:05,513 --> 01:28:08,467
Money's home! Gantner scores!

2335
01:28:08,467 --> 01:28:09,669
Molitor to third!

2336
01:28:09,669 --> 01:28:13,252
A two-run single! 5-4, Brewers down by one!

2337
01:28:14,156 --> 01:28:15,114
(crowd cheers)

2338
01:28:15,114 --> 01:28:15,947
All right!

2339
01:28:19,424 --> 01:28:21,264
-: Come on, Coop!

2340
01:28:21,264 --> 01:28:23,401
Bob: The pitch to Cooper, he drills sharply,

2341
01:28:23,401 --> 01:28:26,470
Oberkfell dives, but he can't field!

2342
01:28:26,470 --> 01:28:29,439
Molitor scores, the game is now tied!

2343
01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:31,228
It's 5 to 5.

2344
01:28:31,228 --> 01:28:34,740
Yount goes to second, Cooper is on!

2345
01:28:34,740 --> 01:28:36,540
Oberkfell dove to his left,

2346
01:28:36,540 --> 01:28:39,628
he got a glove on the ball, but it got under him.

2347
01:28:39,628 --> 01:28:41,607
Gorman is 0 for 3.

2348
01:28:41,607 --> 01:28:44,443
He has a chance to put Milwaukee in front.

2349
01:28:44,443 --> 01:28:47,730
-: I was upset, because I was having a bad day.

2350
01:28:47,730 --> 01:28:48,690
I was pissed.

2351
01:28:48,690 --> 01:28:51,303
All I wanted to do was just hit the damn ball hard.

2352
01:28:52,336 --> 01:28:53,673
Bob: The one-one to Gorman,

2353
01:28:53,673 --> 01:28:56,078
and he drills to left center in the air...

2354
01:28:56,078 --> 01:28:58,259
A base hit! Yount is home!

2355
01:28:58,259 --> 01:29:01,091
Cooper scores! Simmons to third!

2356
01:29:01,091 --> 01:29:04,612
A double for Thomas? Yes, slide, safe play!

2357
01:29:04,612 --> 01:29:06,000
-: When I came in to second base,

2358
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:09,270
I hit the bag, and I popped straight up.

2359
01:29:09,270 --> 01:29:10,103
Safe.

2360
01:29:10,103 --> 01:29:11,643
Yep, that was exciting.

2361
01:29:12,616 --> 01:29:15,914
Bob: Two runs home, 7 to 5 Brewers!

2362
01:29:15,914 --> 01:29:20,914
(crowd cheers)
(uptempo rock music)

2363
01:29:27,391 --> 01:29:31,050
-: Please do not ask me to explain the 1982 World Series.

2364
01:29:31,050 --> 01:29:32,703
-: Now we're playing on Sunday.

2365
01:29:34,140 --> 01:29:35,910
Commentator: In 30 previous World Series

2366
01:29:35,910 --> 01:29:38,400
in which the teams were tied at two games apiece,

2367
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:41,430
the team that won Game five has won the World Series

2368
01:29:41,430 --> 01:29:44,010
on 23 of those 30 occasions.

2369
01:29:44,010 --> 01:29:46,980
-: Big game five at home in front of our hometown fans,

2370
01:29:46,980 --> 01:29:49,110
have already thrown a three hit shutout.

2371
01:29:49,110 --> 01:29:51,360
So, I mean, everybody's expecting me to pitch better.

2372
01:29:51,360 --> 01:29:52,950
That's kind of the way things work.

2373
01:29:52,950 --> 01:29:55,020
Commentator: Game five, here we go.

2374
01:29:55,020 --> 01:29:57,420
Caldwell delivers, Lonnie Smith lines it

2375
01:29:57,420 --> 01:29:58,950
off Caldwell's glove.

2376
01:29:58,950 --> 01:30:00,870
-: The first hitter, hit a line drive,

2377
01:30:00,870 --> 01:30:03,390
got a base hit right back up the middle.

2378
01:30:03,390 --> 01:30:05,257
And I remember thinking,

2379
01:30:05,257 --> 01:30:07,110
"Well, this sure as hell ain't gonna be the same day

2380
01:30:07,110 --> 01:30:09,210
I had the other day."

2381
01:30:09,210 --> 01:30:10,770
Bob: Oberkfell bangs one to right center.

2382
01:30:10,770 --> 01:30:13,020
He has a base hit, number three off Caldwell.

2383
01:30:14,606 --> 01:30:16,080
Commentator: That's a half a dozen hits

2384
01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:17,370
for the Cardinals.

2385
01:30:17,370 --> 01:30:20,460
-: I gave up a lot of hits, but I never gave in.

2386
01:30:20,460 --> 01:30:22,020
And I never gave 'em a big inning.

2387
01:30:22,020 --> 01:30:23,520
-: When you hang around that long

2388
01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:25,080
when you don't pitch that great,

2389
01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:26,580
you keep your team in the game.

2390
01:30:26,580 --> 01:30:28,830
Those were the kind of games that made me feel better

2391
01:30:28,830 --> 01:30:30,600
than the games that are easy.

2392
01:30:30,600 --> 01:30:32,010
Bob: Three-two pitch on the way,

2393
01:30:32,010 --> 01:30:33,300
grounded to the shortstop,

2394
01:30:33,300 --> 01:30:36,327
Yount going to his left, gloves it, throws, in time!

2395
01:30:36,327 --> 01:30:39,120
The pitch on the way, and it's hit!

2396
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:42,150
A big at hop, Molitor steps on the bag for one,

2397
01:30:42,150 --> 01:30:46,533
the throw to first in time to get Ozzie Smith!

2398
01:30:46,533 --> 01:30:49,223
BOb: Sidearm fastball is grounded wide to first.

2399
01:30:49,223 --> 01:30:51,835
Falling down is Cooper to make the stop,

2400
01:30:51,835 --> 01:30:53,479
the throw to the Caldwell!

2401
01:30:53,479 --> 01:30:54,450
Commentator: That was a great play.

2402
01:30:54,450 --> 01:30:57,030
-: Cecil made a great play right down the first base line.

2403
01:30:57,030 --> 01:31:00,819
Our defense was a lot better than anybody ever talks about.

2404
01:31:00,819 --> 01:31:02,727
Bob: The three-two pitch is hit to right center.

2405
01:31:02,727 --> 01:31:04,852
Charlie Moore diving...

2406
01:31:04,852 --> 01:31:07,526
Commentator: That's another outstanding play, man.

2407
01:31:07,526 --> 01:31:10,609
(uptempo bass music)

2408
01:31:12,570 --> 01:31:14,020
Bob: Here's Rockin' Robin.

2409
01:31:15,117 --> 01:31:17,493
Bob: Line drive, off Forsch's foot.

2410
01:31:17,493 --> 01:31:19,566
The pitch to Robin, cracks it to left,

2411
01:31:19,566 --> 01:31:21,066
stays fair, it is!

2412
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:23,830
Swung on, a chopper, back-handed,

2413
01:31:23,830 --> 01:31:25,329
knocked down by Oberkfell.

2414
01:31:25,329 --> 01:31:27,116
Picked it up and throws too late.

2415
01:31:27,116 --> 01:31:29,884
And the two-one pitch, Yount swings, drives it to right.

2416
01:31:29,884 --> 01:31:32,940
Back goes Hendrick, way back, it's gone!

2417
01:31:32,940 --> 01:31:36,774
(uptempo synth music)

2418
01:31:36,774 --> 01:31:39,846
And it is aviary that we have here today,

2419
01:31:39,846 --> 01:31:42,036
the Robin is killing the Cardinals.

2420
01:31:42,036 --> 01:31:44,965
Robin Yount, 4 for 4 today,

2421
01:31:44,965 --> 01:31:48,542
five consecutive hits in the series.

2422
01:31:48,542 --> 01:31:51,766
And this ball game slowly slipping away now

2423
01:31:51,766 --> 01:31:52,599
from the Cardinals.

2424
01:31:52,599 --> 01:31:55,050
-: Dave Anderson of the New York Times

2425
01:31:55,050 --> 01:31:56,340
comes in into interview me.

2426
01:31:56,340 --> 01:31:58,237
One question he asked me then,

2427
01:31:58,237 --> 01:32:00,300
"You ever think you'd be sitting here?

2428
01:32:00,300 --> 01:32:02,830
World Series, going up 3-2."

2429
01:32:02,830 --> 01:32:04,418
Bob: The pitch to Ken is swung on,

2430
01:32:04,418 --> 01:32:06,089
a fly ball to left field.

2431
01:32:06,089 --> 01:32:08,669
Coming up for it is Oglivie, he's got it!

2432
01:32:08,669 --> 01:32:13,669

01:32:44,400 --> 01:32:47,010
We had Sutton and Vukie ready, no Rollie.

2442
01:32:47,010 --> 01:32:48,570
-: We go in there up three games to two,

2443
01:32:48,570 --> 01:32:50,820
hoping that we can win one ball game out of two.

2444
01:32:50,820 --> 01:32:53,010
-: At least now we knew the ballpark.

2445
01:32:53,010 --> 01:32:55,906
Obviously had a much better feel for their players.

2446
01:32:55,906 --> 01:33:00,060
(upbeat rock music fades)

2447
01:33:00,060 --> 01:33:03,663
-: When we got back to St. Louis leading three games to two,

2448
01:33:04,620 --> 01:33:08,070
I was convinced, absolutely positive, we were gonna win,

2449
01:33:08,070 --> 01:33:10,134
'cause we're gonna win one of these two games.

2450
01:33:10,134 --> 01:33:13,134
(tense synth music)

2451
01:33:14,880 --> 01:33:17,790
-: Game six was that huge rain delay.

2452
01:33:17,790 --> 01:33:19,350
Bob: The heavy rains have come again.

2453
01:33:19,350 --> 01:33:21,780
It is blowing very, very hard.

2454
01:33:21,780 --> 01:33:23,310
Speaker: And that idiot commissioner

2455
01:33:23,310 --> 01:33:24,540
wouldn't call the game.

2456
01:33:24,540 --> 01:33:26,977
Bob: With the Cardinals leading by a score

2457
01:33:26,977 --> 01:33:29,250
of 8 to 0 here in the sixth inning,

2458
01:33:29,250 --> 01:33:31,590
the rains are very, very heavy.

2459
01:33:31,590 --> 01:33:34,850
-: We're sitting and waiting and waiting and waiting.

2460
01:33:34,850 --> 01:33:36,030
-: When you go back and look at the history

2461
01:33:36,030 --> 01:33:38,100
of the World Series, every game has been played

2462
01:33:38,100 --> 01:33:40,350
to a nine inning or more decision.

2463
01:33:40,350 --> 01:33:42,120
-: We sat there and played cards.

2464
01:33:42,120 --> 01:33:43,680
That's all you could do.

2465
01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:44,910
-: It was ridiculous.

2466
01:33:44,910 --> 01:33:46,710
-: Will we play ball, if necessary,

2467
01:33:46,710 --> 01:33:48,330
at 2:30, 3:30 in the morning?

2468
01:33:48,330 --> 01:33:49,410
-: Without any question.

2469
01:33:49,410 --> 01:33:52,470
-: And we keep thinking it's gonna get called off.

2470
01:33:52,470 --> 01:33:54,390
It's so wet right now that there's no way, I think,

2471
01:33:54,390 --> 01:33:55,890
that, you know, we can play this game.

2472
01:33:55,890 --> 01:33:57,120
They had AstroTurf there,

2473
01:33:57,120 --> 01:33:59,100
and wet AstroTurf is a little challenging.

2474
01:33:59,100 --> 01:34:01,770
The ball skids, and it's not any fun to play on.

2475
01:34:01,770 --> 01:34:02,670
But that's no excuse.

2476
01:34:02,670 --> 01:34:05,220
We got it handed to us.

2477
01:34:05,220 --> 01:34:07,710
-: By the time we came back out to finish the game,

2478
01:34:07,710 --> 01:34:09,360
it had been decided.

2479
01:34:09,360 --> 01:34:12,370
Bob: And St. Louis wins it by a score of 13 to 1.

2480
01:34:13,767 --> 01:34:15,270
-: So, why not?

2481
01:34:15,270 --> 01:34:17,220
Let's go to a game seven.

2482
01:34:17,220 --> 01:34:18,855
-: I'm not really writing a script for it,

2483
01:34:18,855 --> 01:34:23,250
but yet it seems like we get in this type of a situation

2484
01:34:23,250 --> 01:34:24,360
and we always come out on top,

2485
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:26,465
and I've got all the conference in the world in those guys

2486
01:34:26,465 --> 01:34:28,170
that they're gonna come out on top tomorrow again.

2487
01:34:28,170 --> 01:34:30,720
-: We expected to win game seven.

2488
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:32,460
We had just done it.

2489
01:34:32,460 --> 01:34:35,880
We had just won a do or die game

2490
01:34:35,880 --> 01:34:38,640
a few weeks earlier in Baltimore.

2491
01:34:38,640 --> 01:34:42,390
We had just won three straight do or die games

2492
01:34:42,390 --> 01:34:44,760
at home against the Angels.

2493
01:34:44,760 --> 01:34:47,580
All games you had to win or you go home.

2494
01:34:47,580 --> 01:34:49,680
It's just another one of those.

2495
01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:51,750
-: Now it culminates into one game

2496
01:34:51,750 --> 01:34:53,400
for baseball's championship.

2497
01:34:53,400 --> 01:34:54,930
The starting pitchers?

2498
01:34:54,930 --> 01:34:56,153
Pete Vuckovich for Milwaukee,

2499
01:34:56,153 --> 01:34:59,343
Joaquín Andújar for the St. Louis Cardinals.

2500
01:35:00,592 --> 01:35:03,210
(tense music)

2501
01:35:03,210 --> 01:35:04,410
-: Vuke was out there,

2502
01:35:04,410 --> 01:35:06,060
but he probably shouldn't have been, physically.

2503
01:35:06,060 --> 01:35:07,920
-: We all know about the courage of Vuckovich.

2504
01:35:07,920 --> 01:35:09,330
Should be quite a night.

2505
01:35:09,330 --> 01:35:11,940
They're ready here in St. Louis for game seven.

2506
01:35:11,940 --> 01:35:13,323
It's showdown time.

2507
01:35:14,730 --> 01:35:16,110
Speaker: Pete is a competitor.

2508
01:35:16,110 --> 01:35:18,210
-: He was out there on just pure guts.

2509
01:35:18,210 --> 01:35:20,220
Bob: The Brewers went quietly in their half

2510
01:35:20,220 --> 01:35:21,660
of the first inning.

2511
01:35:21,660 --> 01:35:22,493
Vuckovich delivers.

2512
01:35:22,493 --> 01:35:23,326
Strike one.

2513
01:35:23,326 --> 01:35:25,530
The pitch, off speed, a swing and a miss.

2514
01:35:25,530 --> 01:35:28,320
The two strike delivery, strike three called!

2515
01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:30,210
-: I know what kind of stuff I had during the World Series.

2516
01:35:30,210 --> 01:35:31,410
It wasn't very good.

2517
01:35:31,410 --> 01:35:32,820
I was making it do different things,

2518
01:35:32,820 --> 01:35:36,198
but it wasn't first class good stuff, you know?

2519
01:35:36,198 --> 01:35:38,056
Bob: Hit in the air to right.

2520
01:35:38,056 --> 01:35:39,417
And the inning is over.

2521
01:35:39,417 --> 01:35:43,069
So Vuckovich works out of it with no further damage.

2522
01:35:43,069 --> 01:35:44,100
(tense music)

2523
01:35:44,100 --> 01:35:47,067
Milwaukee no runs, two hits,

2524
01:35:47,067 --> 01:35:48,810
1-0 Cardinals in the fifth inning.

2525
01:35:48,810 --> 01:35:50,940
Now, let's see about Milwaukee.

2526
01:35:50,940 --> 01:35:52,920
Commentator: Oglivie, fairly quiet series.

2527
01:35:52,920 --> 01:35:56,016
Only five hits and no RBIs.

2528
01:35:56,016 --> 01:35:57,540
-: Come on, Benji!

2529
01:35:57,540 --> 01:35:59,203
Commentator: For a team that is considered to be

2530
01:35:59,203 --> 01:36:00,570
a team of sluggers,

2531
01:36:00,570 --> 01:36:02,970
Oglivie does not yet have an RBI in this series.

2532
01:36:05,862 --> 01:36:07,341
(bat cracks)
(inspiring music)

2533
01:36:07,341 --> 01:36:09,699
Bob: And the breaking ball is hammered to right field!

2534
01:36:09,699 --> 01:36:10,532
Commentator: Look out.

2535
01:36:10,532 --> 01:36:11,365
Commentator: That one's hit well.

2536
01:36:11,365 --> 01:36:12,393
Deep to right, if it's fair, it's gone,

2537
01:36:12,393 --> 01:36:14,703
and we have a tie game!

2538
01:36:15,571 --> 01:36:18,120
(players cheering)
(fans cheering)

2539
01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:18,953
Commentator: In Milwaukee,

2540
01:36:18,953 --> 01:36:19,786
they're dancing in the streets,

2541
01:36:19,786 --> 01:36:20,880
and that's the way it should be.

2542
01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:22,497
The seventh game of the World Series,

2543
01:36:22,497 --> 01:36:24,603
and these two clubs still battling.

2544
01:36:25,553 --> 01:36:28,309
-: I had that home run in the fifth inning to tie the game.

2545
01:36:28,309 --> 01:36:30,714
(inspiring music continues)

2546
01:36:30,714 --> 01:36:32,760
And that was huge.

2547
01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:34,807
(chuckles) I felt great.

2548
01:36:34,807 --> 01:36:37,474
(fans cheering)

2549
01:36:38,970 --> 01:36:42,825
(inspiring music continues)

2550
01:36:42,825 --> 01:36:44,730
(uptempo music)

2551
01:36:44,730 --> 01:36:46,140
Bob: Drilled into right center field,

2552
01:36:46,140 --> 01:36:48,653
that could go all the way to the wall and does!

2553
01:36:48,653 --> 01:36:50,603
Gantner, settles for two,

2554
01:36:50,603 --> 01:36:54,090
and the Brewers have the lead off man on.

2555
01:36:54,090 --> 01:36:56,700
Molitor, whose single was through the right side.

2556
01:36:56,700 --> 01:36:59,370
And that's where he'll be trying to aim one now.

2557
01:36:59,370 --> 01:37:01,370
Good looking bunt. Andújar...

2558
01:37:02,370 --> 01:37:04,770
He's safe! The ball gets away!

2559
01:37:04,770 --> 01:37:06,360
The run scores.

2560
01:37:06,360 --> 01:37:09,090
Molitor will hold at second base.

2561
01:37:09,090 --> 01:37:11,820
And the Milwaukee Brewers lead for the first time

2562
01:37:11,820 --> 01:37:13,620
in game seven, 2 to 1.

2563
01:37:13,620 --> 01:37:15,000
Commentator: Brewers, chance for a big inning

2564
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:15,833
with nobody out.

2565
01:37:15,833 --> 01:37:18,000
Commentator: Yount at first, Molitor at third,

2566
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:20,940
Cecil Cooper, one for two off Andújar.

2567
01:37:20,940 --> 01:37:23,250
Hit to deep left, back goes Smith!

2568
01:37:23,250 --> 01:37:24,870
Molitor tagging.

2569
01:37:24,870 --> 01:37:27,960
He'll score, it's 3 to 1 Brewers.

2570
01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:29,820
-: We're ahead 3 to 1, right? Bottom of the sixth.

2571
01:37:29,820 --> 01:37:33,457
And I said, in my mind, to myself,

2572
01:37:33,457 --> 01:37:34,740
"We're gonna win the World Series."

2573
01:37:34,740 --> 01:37:37,050
Fans: Here we go Brewers, here we go!

2574
01:37:38,501 --> 01:37:40,463
Here we go Brewers, here we go!

2575
01:37:40,463 --> 01:37:43,440
-: There's always maybe one little thing

2576
01:37:43,440 --> 01:37:46,260
that will make the difference in a World Series game.

2577
01:37:46,260 --> 01:37:47,640
Commentator: We're in the bottom of the sixth inning

2578
01:37:47,640 --> 01:37:49,860
of the final game of this '82 World Series.

2579
01:37:49,860 --> 01:37:51,630
The Brewers have broken the tie

2580
01:37:51,630 --> 01:37:53,730
with two in the top half of the inning.

2581
01:37:53,730 --> 01:37:55,530
-: Lonnie Smith is up.

2582
01:37:55,530 --> 01:37:58,560
And I'm playing in, because Lonnie's fast, and he can bunt.

2583
01:37:58,560 --> 01:37:59,880
Commentator: Tying run is at the plate.

2584
01:37:59,880 --> 01:38:01,860
-: Robin and I, we played short and third together.

2585
01:38:01,860 --> 01:38:03,810
We had little verbal cues.

2586
01:38:03,810 --> 01:38:06,930
Robin would see a sign on a pitch and communicate,

2587
01:38:06,930 --> 01:38:08,370
'cause I knew if he made a whistle,

2588
01:38:08,370 --> 01:38:11,100
that he was gonna maybe take a step or two towards a hole,

2589
01:38:11,100 --> 01:38:13,560
and I would try to stay in sync with him and move.

2590
01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:15,150
Vuke was throwing an off speed pitch.

2591
01:38:15,150 --> 01:38:17,490
And whether it was a noise or whatever,

2592
01:38:17,490 --> 01:38:20,010
I didn't get the verbal cue from Robin.

2593
01:38:20,010 --> 01:38:21,900
Commentator: Lonnie Smith.

2594
01:38:21,900 --> 01:38:23,270
Ripped fair!

2595
01:38:23,270 --> 01:38:28,270
(crowd cheers)
(tense music)

2596
01:38:29,430 --> 01:38:32,564
So, the Smith Brothers, Ozzie and Lonnie

2597
01:38:32,564 --> 01:38:34,564
are in scoring position.

2598
01:38:37,200 --> 01:38:38,880
-: Lonnie Smith ripped one down the line,

2599
01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:41,514
and I remember diving and missing it by about a half a foot.

2600
01:38:41,514 --> 01:38:44,117
It just felt like it was just off the edge of my glove.

2601
01:38:44,117 --> 01:38:45,800
-: Doc said, "Vuke, there's something I want to tell you.

2602
01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:48,750
He said, "That's the only pitch during that whole ball game

2603
01:38:48,750 --> 01:38:50,910
that I didn't know what was coming."

2604
01:38:50,910 --> 01:38:53,820
He said, "I saw Teddy sitting low and away to Lonnie Smith.

2605
01:38:53,820 --> 01:38:56,340
I thought you were gonna throw him a fastball low and away."

2606
01:38:56,340 --> 01:38:58,483
He said, "Robin was relaying every pitch to me.

2607
01:38:58,483 --> 01:39:01,860
And it was so loud, that I missed that pitch."

2608
01:39:01,860 --> 01:39:02,760
-: If I would've heard it,

2609
01:39:02,760 --> 01:39:05,700
I would've probably taken a half step towards the line.

2610
01:39:05,700 --> 01:39:07,200
-: I didn't whistle loud enough.

2611
01:39:07,200 --> 01:39:08,460
-: I said, "Doc, number one,

2612
01:39:08,460 --> 01:39:11,670
that slider was supposed to be knees outside corner

2613
01:39:11,670 --> 01:39:12,750
to Lonnie Smith."

2614
01:39:12,750 --> 01:39:14,932
Had I thrown it low and outside, he'd of hit it to you.

2615
01:39:14,932 --> 01:39:16,860
So, it wasn't you, it was me.

2616
01:39:16,860 --> 01:39:19,020
I didn't locate that pitch where I wanted to."

2617
01:39:19,020 --> 01:39:20,130
I screwed up.

2618
01:39:20,130 --> 01:39:21,780
Take the blame. Fuck 'em.

2619
01:39:21,780 --> 01:39:24,450
-: That's how serious everybody was.

2620
01:39:24,450 --> 01:39:27,660
Everybody knew every pitch on the defense,

2621
01:39:27,660 --> 01:39:30,270
to get that extra step.

2622
01:39:30,270 --> 01:39:33,660
And on their communication, it didn't happen.

2623
01:39:33,660 --> 01:39:36,690
-: Sometimes it's the mistakes that you make,

2624
01:39:36,690 --> 01:39:39,480
just a little one, makes the difference in a ball game.

2625
01:39:39,480 --> 01:39:42,720
And in a short series, one ball game means the difference

2626
01:39:42,720 --> 01:39:44,821
of winning four instead of three.

2627
01:39:44,821 --> 01:39:46,890
-: - [Commentator] McClure appearing in his fifth game

2628
01:39:46,890 --> 01:39:47,913
of the series.

2629
01:39:49,080 --> 01:39:51,210
Lost game two.

2630
01:39:51,210 --> 01:39:53,613
-: You know, the thing that ran through my mind,

2631
01:39:54,720 --> 01:39:57,060
game two, game seven.

2632
01:39:57,060 --> 01:39:59,673
We are missing a player in Rollie Fingers.

2633
01:40:01,399 --> 01:40:04,740
Commentator: And he misses inside. The bases are loaded.

2634
01:40:04,740 --> 01:40:06,371
-: To bring Rollie in in the sixth inning

2635
01:40:06,371 --> 01:40:08,190
in that game when you were ahead 3 to 1.

2636
01:40:08,190 --> 01:40:09,210
-: I tried throwing.

2637
01:40:09,210 --> 01:40:11,820
I haven't been on a mound in a month,

2638
01:40:11,820 --> 01:40:15,720
and now you want me to walk out onto a diamond

2639
01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:17,310
in the seventh game of the World Series,

2640
01:40:17,310 --> 01:40:18,990
and hope I can get somebody out?

2641
01:40:18,990 --> 01:40:21,660
I mean, I might not be able to throw a ball in the garage,

2642
01:40:21,660 --> 01:40:22,500
and now they want me to...

2643
01:40:22,500 --> 01:40:24,720
You know, I knew it wasn't gonna happen.

2644
01:40:24,720 --> 01:40:26,130
Commentator: McClure has to throw a strike,

2645
01:40:26,130 --> 01:40:27,093
or he throws a run.

2646
01:40:28,547 --> 01:40:31,116
(crowd roaring)
(tense music)

2647
01:40:31,116 --> 01:40:32,327
(bat cracks)

2648
01:40:32,327 --> 01:40:37,327
Hit to right center! Base hit!

2649
01:40:37,545 --> 01:40:38,962
The game is tied!

2650
01:40:40,402 --> 01:40:44,075
(tense music continues)

2651
01:40:44,075 --> 01:40:46,703
(crowd cheers)

2652
01:40:46,703 --> 01:40:48,423
Lined into right field!

2653
01:40:49,830 --> 01:40:53,743
Ramsey scores, it's 4 to 3, St. Louis!

2654
01:40:53,743 --> 01:40:57,076
(tense music continues)

2655
01:40:59,353 --> 01:41:01,860
-: I have some real sad thoughts about

2656
01:41:01,860 --> 01:41:03,270
going in in game seven

2657
01:41:03,270 --> 01:41:05,861
and giving up the little jam shot up the middle.

2658
01:41:05,861 --> 01:41:06,900
Bob: Here he comes, 0-2,

2659
01:41:06,900 --> 01:41:09,881
Braun lines into center a base hit.

2660
01:41:09,881 --> 01:41:13,104
Hernandez scores, it is now 6-3, St. Louis.

2661
01:41:13,104 --> 01:41:15,420
Caldwell has given up back to back base hits.

2662
01:41:15,420 --> 01:41:16,947
-: The only thing I had intended to do

2663
01:41:16,947 --> 01:41:19,680
was to go out there and just try to compete

2664
01:41:19,680 --> 01:41:20,967
to keep my ball club in the game.

2665
01:41:20,967 --> 01:41:22,590
And you know how baseball works,

2666
01:41:22,590 --> 01:41:23,900
sometimes no matter what you do,

2667
01:41:23,900 --> 01:41:25,047
it just doesn't work out.

2668
01:41:25,047 --> 01:41:26,488
Bob: And the inning is over.

2669
01:41:26,488 --> 01:41:28,784
The Brewers come to bat for their final try,

2670
01:41:28,784 --> 01:41:32,514
sending Simmons, Oglivie and Thomas, trailing 6-3.

2671
01:41:32,514 --> 01:41:33,888
The pitch.

2672
01:41:33,888 --> 01:41:36,311
Simmons hits back to the mound, Sutter's got it.

2673
01:41:36,311 --> 01:41:37,534
(crowd cheers)

2674
01:41:37,534 --> 01:41:38,367
One away.

2675
01:41:40,642 --> 01:41:41,882
Delivers...

2676
01:41:41,882 --> 01:41:43,304
Swing a bouncer hit to second.

2677
01:41:43,304 --> 01:41:44,459
Herr has it.

2678
01:41:44,459 --> 01:41:45,876
Throws, two down.

2679
01:41:46,826 --> 01:41:49,864
(tense music)
(crowd cheers)

2680
01:41:49,864 --> 01:41:54,031
Now the final try for Milwaukee and Gorman Thomas.

2681
01:41:55,286 --> 01:41:57,613
-: I didn't want to make the last out.

2682
01:41:57,613 --> 01:41:58,446
I did not.

2683
01:41:58,446 --> 01:42:00,869
Bob: Coming from behind with their backs to the wall.

2684
01:42:00,869 --> 01:42:02,778
The pitch to Gorman, a strike.

2685
01:42:02,778 --> 01:42:05,569
The two-one. A swing and a miss.

2686
01:42:05,569 --> 01:42:07,196
Two and two.
(crowd cheers)

2687
01:42:07,196 --> 01:42:09,213
Gorman Thomas and the Brewers,

2688
01:42:09,213 --> 01:42:11,520
down to their final swing of the year.

2689
01:42:11,520 --> 01:42:14,929
The two-two is hit foul by Gorman.

2690
01:42:14,929 --> 01:42:16,355
The pitch.

2691
01:42:16,355 --> 01:42:19,559
Outside to Gorman, just missing.

2692
01:42:19,559 --> 01:42:21,150
Three balls and two strikes.

2693
01:42:21,150 --> 01:42:23,670
The Brewers in their first World Series ever.

2694
01:42:23,670 --> 01:42:26,010
-: One swing can just change everything.

2695
01:42:26,010 --> 01:42:29,090
Bob: Two outs. The three-two...

2696
01:42:29,090 --> 01:42:31,025
Is hit to deep left...

2697
01:42:31,025 --> 01:42:32,160
(fans screaming)

2698
01:42:32,160 --> 01:42:33,273
Hooking foul.

2699
01:42:34,281 --> 01:42:36,411
And Thomas remains alive.

2700
01:42:36,411 --> 01:42:37,699
The pitch...

2701
01:42:37,699 --> 01:42:39,743
Is hit foul again by Thomas.

2702
01:42:39,743 --> 01:42:41,520
The count remains 3-2.

2703
01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:44,730
The pitch is hit foul again by Gorman.

2704
01:42:44,730 --> 01:42:46,380
-: I don't give a damn how many times

2705
01:42:46,380 --> 01:42:49,140
somebody strikes you out, you can't quit.

2706
01:42:49,140 --> 01:42:50,840
Bob: Brewers trying to hang in.

2707
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:54,503
Sutter ready, here he comes.

2708
01:42:54,503 --> 01:42:57,681
(slow tense music)

2709
01:42:57,681 --> 01:43:02,681
(crowd cheers)
(somber piano music)

2710
01:43:04,055 --> 01:43:05,970
-: I swung at the high fastball.

2711
01:43:05,970 --> 01:43:08,280
That's where it was. Right there.

2712
01:43:08,280 --> 01:43:09,113
Right there.

2713
01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:11,818
It was too high.

2714
01:43:11,818 --> 01:43:14,985
(somber string music)

2715
01:43:23,498 --> 01:43:27,498
(somber string music continues)

2716
01:43:35,836 --> 01:43:39,060
(somber string music continues)

2717
01:43:39,060 --> 01:43:42,510
-: It was raw. And there were a lot of tears.

2718
01:43:42,510 --> 01:43:44,640
I think that stems from the emotion

2719
01:43:44,640 --> 01:43:46,260
and connection we had to each other.

2720
01:43:46,260 --> 01:43:48,660
It just felt like a family loss.

2721
01:43:48,660 --> 01:43:50,790
-: This year we got to the World Series

2722
01:43:50,790 --> 01:43:52,773
and took it to game seven and lost.

2723
01:43:53,730 --> 01:43:55,710
Maybe next year we'll find ourselves

2724
01:43:55,710 --> 01:43:58,020
in a World Series again, a game seven and win.

2725
01:43:58,020 --> 01:43:59,730
-: It's the best ball club I've ever been on.

2726
01:43:59,730 --> 01:44:03,060
It's the best collection of talent I've ever played with.

2727
01:44:03,060 --> 01:44:05,760
It's the best seven weeks I've ever spent in baseball.

2728
01:44:05,760 --> 01:44:08,070
I just wish I could have done a little bit more

2729
01:44:08,070 --> 01:44:10,380
to take us all the way through.

2730
01:44:10,380 --> 01:44:12,090
-: I didn't shut 'em down for nine innings

2731
01:44:12,090 --> 01:44:13,680
in the seventh of the game of the World Series,

2732
01:44:13,680 --> 01:44:15,750
and they came back and beat us, you know?

2733
01:44:15,750 --> 01:44:17,370
And I've always felt guilty about that,

2734
01:44:17,370 --> 01:44:19,428
and it bothers me, that's all.

2735
01:44:19,428 --> 01:44:20,261
You know?

2736
01:44:20,261 --> 01:44:22,393
Always will. (laughs)

2737
01:44:23,610 --> 01:44:25,019
-: Baseball is a team sport.

2738
01:44:25,019 --> 01:44:25,936
It's not...

2739
01:44:27,230 --> 01:44:30,213
He should not be the one to take the load.

2740
01:44:31,275 --> 01:44:32,583
We all just spread it out.

2741
01:44:33,458 --> 01:44:35,133
Commentator: The field is just jammed.

2742
01:44:35,133 --> 01:44:37,299
The fireworks are continuing to go off.

2743
01:44:37,299 --> 01:44:40,075
These Cardinal fans are celebrating the fact

2744
01:44:40,075 --> 01:44:43,647
that with the seventh game victory by the score of 6 to 3,

2745
01:44:43,647 --> 01:44:44,480
over the Milwaukee Brewers,

2746
01:44:44,480 --> 01:44:47,163
they are the World Champions.

2747
01:44:47,163 --> 01:44:51,590
(crowd cheering)
(fireworks exploding)

2748
01:44:51,590 --> 01:44:56,130
-: On the way home, after the seventh game.

2749
01:44:56,130 --> 01:44:56,963
Oh...

2750
01:44:57,990 --> 01:44:58,823
Sad.

2751
01:44:59,910 --> 01:45:03,870
Robin Yount is at the back of the plane, and he was crying.

2752
01:45:03,870 --> 01:45:06,033
Really, really crying.

2753
01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:09,960
(somber piano music)

2754
01:45:09,960 --> 01:45:11,280
We talked a little bit,

2755
01:45:11,280 --> 01:45:14,107
and then our vice president of marketing comes and says,

2756
01:45:14,107 --> 01:45:16,590
"They want to have a parade tomorrow."

2757
01:45:16,590 --> 01:45:18,660
I said, "What? Are you crazy?

2758
01:45:18,660 --> 01:45:19,890
We lost.

2759
01:45:19,890 --> 01:45:20,970
There'll be nobody there.

2760
01:45:20,970 --> 01:45:22,530
What the hell are you talking about?

2761
01:45:22,530 --> 01:45:24,633
And I apologized to my players, the guys.

2762
01:45:26,227 --> 01:45:29,100
"They say we gotta have this parade"

2763
01:45:29,100 --> 01:45:31,950
So the next morning, we go to the ballpark.

2764
01:45:31,950 --> 01:45:33,547
And I'm apologizing all the way down,

2765
01:45:33,547 --> 01:45:35,670
"Guys, this will be quick.

2766
01:45:35,670 --> 01:45:37,590
There won't be anybody here.

2767
01:45:37,590 --> 01:45:39,590
You'll go, you'll wave to a few people."

2768
01:45:42,163 --> 01:45:47,163
(soft inspiring music)
(birds chirping)

2769
01:45:57,066 --> 01:46:00,149
(lighthearted music)

2770
01:46:01,339 --> 01:46:03,922
(band playing)

2771
01:46:08,229 --> 01:46:11,171
(kids cheering)

2772
01:46:11,171 --> 01:46:14,088
(people screaming)

2773
01:46:18,495 --> 01:46:22,412
(lighthearted music continues)

2774
01:46:23,820 --> 01:46:26,190
There may be a million people downtown.

2775
01:46:26,190 --> 01:46:28,860
The streets are jammed, the sidewalks are jammed.

2776
01:46:28,860 --> 01:46:30,480
People are hanging out of buildings.

2777
01:46:30,480 --> 01:46:32,497
And of course my wife then says,

2778
01:46:32,497 --> 01:46:35,175
"Well, you were right, Buddy, nobody will come."

2779
01:46:35,175 --> 01:46:39,092
(lighthearted music continues)

2780
01:46:47,530 --> 01:46:50,488
(lighthearted music continues)

2781
01:46:50,488 --> 01:46:53,405
(people screaming)

2782
01:47:00,235 --> 01:47:04,171
(lighthearted music continues)

2783
01:47:04,171 --> 01:47:07,088
(people screaming)

2784
01:47:10,590 --> 01:47:12,329
Reporter: How people have you touched today?

2785
01:47:12,329 --> 01:47:15,068
-: I don't know, a couple thousand, I guess.

2786
01:47:15,068 --> 01:47:16,251
Reporter: Did you expect this much?

2787
01:47:16,251 --> 01:47:18,257
-: Not this much.

2788
01:47:18,257 --> 01:47:21,352
(fans cheering)

2789
01:47:21,352 --> 01:47:25,269
(lighthearted music continues)

2790
01:47:33,268 --> 01:47:37,185
(lighthearted music continues)

2791
01:47:45,180 --> 01:47:46,430
-: People were everywhere.

2792
01:47:47,625 --> 01:47:50,807
And it was like, "Wow, man, this is..."

2793
01:47:50,807 --> 01:47:53,673
You know, you lose, and they show up.

2794
01:47:54,937 --> 01:47:56,963
Yeah, it was awesome.

2795
01:47:56,963 --> 01:47:58,530
It really was.

2796
01:47:58,530 --> 01:47:59,930
-: These people think we won.

2797
01:48:01,470 --> 01:48:06,470
This was a horde of people that was not exceeded anywhere.

2798
01:48:09,720 --> 01:48:11,400
-: It was packed.

2799
01:48:11,400 --> 01:48:15,178
I mean, both sides of the street were just unbelievable.

2800
01:48:15,178 --> 01:48:17,130
You know, I thought it'd be a small parade,

2801
01:48:17,130 --> 01:48:20,973
but it just shows you how great these fans are.

2802
01:48:22,050 --> 01:48:23,940
-: The turnout...

2803
01:48:23,940 --> 01:48:27,060
If we didn't know ourselves that we lost,

2804
01:48:27,060 --> 01:48:28,460
you would've thought we won.

2805
01:48:29,580 --> 01:48:33,870
I mean, where else does this happen?

2806
01:48:33,870 --> 01:48:37,800
-: Even though we lost the game, there was still celebration.

2807
01:48:37,800 --> 01:48:41,433
Fans knew that we gave our best.

2808
01:48:42,450 --> 01:48:44,880
-: There must have been 15 cases of beer

2809
01:48:44,880 --> 01:48:46,320
thrown in the back of the truck.

2810
01:48:46,320 --> 01:48:47,910
There was champagne.

2811
01:48:47,910 --> 01:48:49,890
It was unbelievable.

2812
01:48:49,890 --> 01:48:51,903
I mean, just unbelievable.

2813
01:48:53,880 --> 01:48:57,090
-: I couldn't understand it at first, you know?

2814
01:48:57,090 --> 01:48:59,220
Because we lost.

2815
01:48:59,220 --> 01:49:02,520
Now all of a sudden, all this emotion's coming out,

2816
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,810
and you're kind of drained, and then they want to celebrate.

2817
01:49:06,810 --> 01:49:09,390
So, you want to celebrate with 'em.

2818
01:49:09,390 --> 01:49:10,353
Pretty special.

2819
01:49:11,963 --> 01:49:13,740
Reporter: Did you expect this much?

2820
01:49:13,740 --> 01:49:14,573
-: Yes, I did.

2821
01:49:14,573 --> 01:49:17,177
These are the greatest fans in the world.

2822
01:49:17,177 --> 01:49:22,177
(lighthearted music continues)
(fans chanting)

2823
01:49:28,740 --> 01:49:31,170
-: You're still in a celebratory mood

2824
01:49:31,170 --> 01:49:32,760
because of what you did.

2825
01:49:32,760 --> 01:49:36,750
We didn't go all away, but we were almost there.

2826
01:49:36,750 --> 01:49:37,833
They earned a parade.

2827
01:49:38,700 --> 01:49:39,533
They earned it.

2828
01:49:41,376 --> 01:49:45,293
(lighthearted music continues)

2829
01:49:55,650 --> 01:49:57,810
-: And then we go to the ballpark.

2830
01:49:57,810 --> 01:49:59,761
There's a crowd there too.

2831
01:49:59,761 --> 01:50:02,344
(crowd cheers)

2832
01:50:10,684 --> 01:50:13,684
(celebratory music)

2833
01:50:14,667 --> 01:50:17,250
(crowd cheers)

2834
01:50:23,960 --> 01:50:27,180
(celebratory music continues)

2835
01:50:27,180 --> 01:50:29,180
-: If you go out every day and play hard,

2836
01:50:30,952 --> 01:50:32,520
they still appreciate you.

2837
01:50:32,520 --> 01:50:37,200
That helps kind of curb the pain that you were feeling.

2838
01:50:37,200 --> 01:50:38,033
It was special.

2839
01:50:39,330 --> 01:50:40,380
I'll never forget it.

2840
01:50:44,100 --> 01:50:46,350
-: We were, I think, a little bit embarrassed,

2841
01:50:46,350 --> 01:50:49,140
'cause we were out there getting cheered on, and we lost.

2842
01:50:49,140 --> 01:50:52,920
But it sure made me fall in love

2843
01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:55,470
with the fans of Milwaukee for the rest of my life.

2844
01:50:57,204 --> 01:51:02,204
(celebratory music continues)
(crowd chants)

2845
01:51:07,457 --> 01:51:09,780
-: As far as I'm concerned, we're number one.

2846
01:51:09,780 --> 01:51:12,423
We just ran out of innings last night, that's all.

2847
01:51:14,940 --> 01:51:16,590
Reporter: You've had a love affair with these fans.

2848
01:51:16,590 --> 01:51:17,423
What does this do for that?

2849
01:51:17,423 --> 01:51:19,380
-: It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

2850
01:51:19,380 --> 01:51:21,300
I can't believe that a group of people

2851
01:51:21,300 --> 01:51:24,750
in a city this size can be this nice, everybody.

2852
01:51:24,750 --> 01:51:26,040
Nothing better could ever happen to me.

2853
01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:27,840
I'd like to be a world's champion,

2854
01:51:27,840 --> 01:51:30,190
but I'd rather be here today than in St. Louis.

2855
01:51:31,140 --> 01:51:32,240
-: It's pretty special.

2856
01:51:33,270 --> 01:51:36,120
I had no expectations of something like that.

2857
01:51:36,120 --> 01:51:37,023
It was beautiful.

2858
01:51:38,278 --> 01:51:40,146
(crowd cheers)

2859
01:51:40,146 --> 01:51:41,340
-: There's people everywhere.

2860
01:51:41,340 --> 01:51:43,125
You know, did we win? Did we lose?

2861
01:51:43,125 --> 01:51:44,410
I mean, these people are crazy!

2862
01:51:44,410 --> 01:51:46,340
Yeah, you just felt the love, and it was like,

2863
01:51:46,340 --> 01:51:47,730
"I feel a little better now.

2864
01:51:47,730 --> 01:51:48,720
I'm feeling really good."

2865
01:51:48,720 --> 01:51:50,970
And you get inside the stadium, and there's people in there,

2866
01:51:50,970 --> 01:51:52,693
and Robin comes in on his bike.

2867
01:51:52,693 --> 01:51:57,693
(motorcycle revs)
(people cheering)

2868
01:51:58,451 --> 01:52:01,534
(lighthearted music)

2869
01:52:09,978 --> 01:52:12,360
(lighthearted music continues)

2870
01:52:12,360 --> 01:52:15,193
(people cheering)

2871
01:52:19,049 --> 01:52:22,110
(people clapping)

2872
01:52:22,110 --> 01:52:26,027
(lighthearted music continues)

2873
01:52:26,940 --> 01:52:28,500
-: You couldn't ask for better.

2874
01:52:28,500 --> 01:52:31,380
The only thing that could have been better

2875
01:52:31,380 --> 01:52:33,000
was that last game.

2876
01:52:33,000 --> 01:52:35,853
But I thank God for letting me play here.

2877
01:52:37,313 --> 01:52:39,730
(soft music)

2878
01:52:40,680 --> 01:52:41,703
I'm gonna cry.

2879
01:52:44,190 --> 01:52:46,170
-: I think I can speak for the entire team to say

2880
01:52:46,170 --> 01:52:49,064
that we really appreciate your support this year.

2881
01:52:49,064 --> 01:52:52,603
And come 1983, we're gonna have a championship in Milwaukee.

2882
01:52:52,603 --> 01:52:53,436
(crowd cheers)

2883
01:52:53,436 --> 01:52:55,080
I think the parade kind of helped

2884
01:52:55,080 --> 01:52:57,933
to ease the pain a little bit.

2885
01:52:59,070 --> 01:53:00,660
-: This is the most fantastic thing

2886
01:53:00,660 --> 01:53:04,653
that could ever happen anywhere, any place.

2887
01:53:05,820 --> 01:53:10,470
And yet, only one place will it ever happen,

2888
01:53:10,470 --> 01:53:12,157
and that's in Milwaukee.

2889
01:53:12,157 --> 01:53:14,280
(crowd cheers)

2890
01:53:14,280 --> 01:53:16,325
-: There were some tears shed in the Brewer clubhouse,

2891
01:53:16,325 --> 01:53:19,260
and one of the reasons of disappointment that is,

2892
01:53:19,260 --> 01:53:21,150
we weren't able to bring back

2893
01:53:21,150 --> 01:53:23,550
a world championship to Milwaukee.

2894
01:53:23,550 --> 01:53:27,745
But today, you have made us all feel like winners.

2895
01:53:27,745 --> 01:53:30,328
(crowd cheers)

2896
01:53:31,841 --> 01:53:34,536
We plan to make this a habit, and we'll be back next year.

2897
01:53:34,536 --> 01:53:35,653
Thank you very much.

2898
01:53:35,653 --> 01:53:38,940
(crowd cheers)

2899
01:53:38,940 --> 01:53:41,670
The outpouring really helped

2900
01:53:41,670 --> 01:53:44,550
the decompression of not winning that World Series.

2901
01:53:44,550 --> 01:53:46,290
-: It didn't make it go away,

2902
01:53:46,290 --> 01:53:48,363
but it sure helped soften the blow.

2903
01:53:50,598 --> 01:53:53,181
(Robin laughs)

2904
01:53:56,220 --> 01:53:57,423
Yeah, it was incredible.

2905
01:53:59,700 --> 01:54:00,663
It was incredible.

2906
01:54:01,650 --> 01:54:05,433
They showed their appreciation for how hard we tried.

2907
01:54:06,389 --> 01:54:07,650
(Robin chuckles)

2908
01:54:07,650 --> 01:54:08,483
Amazing.

2909
01:54:10,320 --> 01:54:13,070
That tells you enough right there about Wisconsin fans.

2910
01:54:14,111 --> 01:54:17,500
(soft music fades)

2911
01:54:17,500 --> 01:54:20,083
(crowd cheers)

2912
01:54:29,070 --> 01:54:30,604
But for me personally...

2913
01:54:30,604 --> 01:54:33,440
(Robin chuckles)

2914
01:54:33,440 --> 01:54:36,357
(soft tense music)

2915
01:54:40,110 --> 01:54:42,843
The one thing I didn't get was a world championship.

2916
01:54:45,679 --> 01:54:50,100
(soft tense music continues)

2917
01:54:50,100 --> 01:54:53,763
And that's what I miss the most,

2918
01:54:55,073 --> 01:54:57,483
is not fulfilling that one dream.

2919
01:55:00,239 --> 01:55:03,120
(soft tense music continues)

2920
01:55:03,120 --> 01:55:04,200
It's funny.

2921
01:55:04,200 --> 01:55:09,120
I've gotten to know Ozzie Smith pretty well now.

2922
01:55:09,120 --> 01:55:10,410
A friend of mine.

2923
01:55:10,410 --> 01:55:12,450
And he was the shortstop on the Cardinals,

2924
01:55:12,450 --> 01:55:13,833
obviously, during this.

2925
01:55:14,850 --> 01:55:17,013
And we talk about it once in a while.

2926
01:55:19,140 --> 01:55:23,040
I say, "Yeah, Oz, you got us,

2927
01:55:23,040 --> 01:55:24,780
you beat us in the World Series."

2928
01:55:24,780 --> 01:55:26,400
It's the worst...

2929
01:55:26,400 --> 01:55:28,770
Game seven, worst day of my life.

2930
01:55:28,770 --> 01:55:31,653
Leading up to it, greatest time of my life.

2931
01:55:32,730 --> 01:55:35,943
And Ozzie says to me, "You know what?

2932
01:55:37,200 --> 01:55:38,667
You need to get over it."

2933
01:55:40,080 --> 01:55:42,420
-: I said, "Oz, that's easy for you to say.

2934
01:55:42,420 --> 01:55:43,253
You won.

2935
01:55:45,330 --> 01:55:46,480
I'll never get over it.

2936
01:55:48,240 --> 01:55:49,440
I'll never get over it."

2937
01:55:51,025 --> 01:55:54,442
(soft tense music fades)

2938
01:56:02,883 --> 01:56:05,383
As everyone here I'm sure is aware of,

2939
01:56:05,383 --> 01:56:08,613
I've never been too much for words,

2940
01:56:10,410 --> 01:56:13,233
but I sure do know how to ride a motorcycle.

2941
01:56:13,233 --> 01:56:15,816
(crowd cheers)

2942
01:56:20,430 --> 01:56:22,370
And I sure do love to play baseball

2943
01:56:22,370 --> 01:56:24,271
for the people of Milwaukee.

2944
01:56:24,271 --> 01:56:26,854
(crowd cheers)

2945
01:56:28,352 --> 01:56:31,269
(soft piano music)

2946
01:56:32,376 --> 01:56:35,043
(broom rustles)

2947
01:56:39,958 --> 01:56:43,708
(soft piano music continues)

2948
01:56:45,573 --> 01:56:46,800
Reporter: Back at the stadium,

2949
01:56:46,800 --> 01:56:49,680
a couple of autograph hounds kept watch in the parking lot.

2950
01:56:49,680 --> 01:56:51,630
Manager Harvey Kuenn signed for them

2951
01:56:51,630 --> 01:56:53,760
on his way to clean his locker.

2952
01:56:53,760 --> 01:56:55,650
He wanted to be alone to do that,

2953
01:56:55,650 --> 01:56:57,573
just to savor this last day.

2954
01:56:59,007 --> 01:57:00,241
(crowd cheers)

2955
01:57:00,241 --> 01:57:01,680
Bob: This is the greatest thing

2956
01:57:01,680 --> 01:57:04,230
I've ever seen in my life!

2957
01:57:04,230 --> 01:57:06,000
Reporter: It's called Brewer fever.

2958
01:57:06,000 --> 01:57:09,660
And in Milwaukee, it has spread to epidemic proportions.

2959
01:57:09,660 --> 01:57:10,587
Not to worry if you have it,

2960
01:57:10,587 --> 01:57:13,980
the only treatment is to let it run its course.

2961
01:57:13,980 --> 01:57:15,240
And if we're all quite lucky,

2962
01:57:15,240 --> 01:57:17,583
we'll all have it again next year.

2963
01:57:18,728 --> 01:57:22,395
(soft wondrous piano music)

2964
01:57:30,566 --> 01:57:34,348
