00:30Good afternoon, ladies and kids. Good afternoon, folks.
00:56This is Porky Pig bringing you a play-by-play description of this deciding game of the World Series being played at the Yankem Stadium.
01:04There's a capacity crowd here today, and tickets are selling like hotcakes.
01:20It's a complete sellout. The scalpers are having a big day.
01:26Oh, oh!
01:27Oh!
01:29Oh!
01:51Pardon me, please.
01:52Excuse me, please.
02:03I beg your pardon.
02:07The teams are out on the field, and over there, warming up, is Carl the Deep Bubble, famous giant pitcher.
02:13And across the field, I see the opposing pitcher, Larry O'Leary from Walla Walla, who pitches all their double-headers.
02:27You pitch the high ones.
02:29All right, sport, you pitch the low ones.
02:33Okay!
02:34Looks like the game is ready to start.
02:37Here comes the umpire out on the field.
02:43His honor, the mayor, will throw out the first ball.
02:49Here's the first batter.
02:51He receives his bat from the bat boy, steps into the batter's box, and the game is on!
03:13Come on, old boy, old boy, put it right in there, old kid.
03:23Come on, let's give him a dark one now.
03:24Right down the middle, old boy, old boy, right in the groove, old kid.
03:26Come on, old boy, old boy, he can't see him at all, kid.
03:28Pitch right one in there.
03:29There you go, let him go.
03:30Come on, old boy, right in there, old kid.
03:31That's a pigeon in there, old kid.
03:39You got him in a hole now, kid.
03:41That's two on him.
03:42Give him a dark one.
03:43He can't see it's all, old boy.
03:43Come on, now, strike him at all, kid.
03:44Let's go.
03:45Come on, let's head right down the old alley.
03:46Splatter's a back.
03:46Come on, let's get it out.
03:47Pull it.
03:50That's the old pepper, kid.
03:55It's a hit.
03:56It's a single hit, a left heel.
03:58Looks like he's stretching it into an extra million days here.
04:00And he crosses the plate with the first run of the beginning game.
04:15That makes the score one to nothing and then no outs.
04:18Well, they've got the pitcher in a hole already.
04:30There's another hit.
04:59Looks like the pitcher is blowing up.
05:07Here's the wooden windup and the pitch.
05:10It's a slow ball.
05:16It's a hit along the power line.
05:18He's around in second.
05:20And here comes the throw-in.
05:21They've got him between second and third.
05:23And he's trapped.
05:25Trapped.
05:26Trapped.
05:31Trapped like a rat.
05:33Oh.
05:35This is horrible.
05:39Oh, it's absolutely horrible.
05:41Come on, let's get back to the end of it.
05:49You're about to be easy.
05:50Come on, boys.
05:51Let's get right in there.
05:58Well, here it is, the last half of the night.
06:01What a ball game.
06:02What a ball game.
06:05The Giants are up and they're three runs behind.
06:08The bases are loaded and two out.
06:10Listen to that crowd.
06:12It's been nip and tuck all the way.
06:14Here comes the pitch.
06:15It's a strike.
06:17That's two strikes and three balls.
06:19Listen to that crowd.
06:21And here comes that crucial pitch.
06:24There's the wind-up.
06:25The pitch.
06:26Right over the...
06:26It's a hit!
06:27A long fly into center field.
06:29It's going, going, going.
06:32And it's a goner!
06:34And it's all over.
06:36The Giants win.
06:37That's all, folks.
