For Love of the Game Page #4

[ Umpire ]

Strike one!

[ Scully On TV ]

So, Chapel working on Robinson.

Bottom of the fiirst inning.

No score.

And there's a little looper

to Jose Garcia. One away.

Oh, this is-

This is my lucky day.

Hey, how are ya? How you

doin'? Fine. How you doin'?

Uh, the Bud

on the tap is good.

Okay. Oh, this is a beautiful day...

for the big ballpark

in the Bronx.

[ Scully Continues ] He was an

All-American shortstop there,

and he has certainly done

an outstanding job.

Two solid years, and now

a third with the Yankees.

Pretty good breaking ball.

Did get it up...

but got away with it. Lot of guys would

be upset about missin' their flight-

You know, delay, this and that

- but this works out beautiful for me.

[ Scully Continues ] So, Chapel

trying to derail the Yankees,

and the Yankees trying

to end a season...

that has long been finished

by Detroit.

[ Lyons ] Warble had a

game earlier this season...

where he had five hits,

nine R.B.I.s.

That's a week

for a lot of guys.

I don't know. They-They pushed

this guy up to pitch this game.

So, basically we clinch today

and I get to see it. Beautiful.

[ Scully ] They were 63 and

97. The Yankees, meanwhile-

Hi. What can I get for

you? Chivas and water.

[ Bar Patron ] Okay,

here we go. Everything is-

[ Scully ] Good sinker. Oh,

look at that. Ah, it's early.

You got, uh,

nuts, chips, somethin'?

- We got those pretzels.

- I can make do.

Thank you.

[ Scully ] Good fastball

with some movement on it.

And down goes Warble. jesus, he swung

at that? This guy, he's got nothin' now.

If I was Boston, I'd be worried. I'd be,

like, what, are they throwin' the game?

This guy used to be a monster,

to tell you the truth.

When he first came up,

he was unhittable.

Now, he's a junker.

30-30 three years in a row,

and in baseball circles we all know that

there's no love lost between these two guys.

They don't like

each other too much.

[ Cheering ]

[ Man On P.A.] At third

base, number 13, Sam Tuttle.

[ Chapel ]

Sam Tuttle.

I can't think of a better reason

not to be a Yankee.

[ Scully ]

Sam Tuttle hit. 625.

He went 5 for 8

against Chapel this year.

[ Lyons ] That would

make me not like a guy.

[ Scully ]

I would think so.

[ Chanting ]

Tuttle! Tuttle! Tuttle!

Tuttle! Tuttle! Tuttle!

[ Chanting Continues ]

[ Scully ] Fastball on the

inside corner. Strike one.

Wasn't that inside?

You never do swing at the

fiirst pitch, do you, Sam?

No, no,

we're off the page now, Gus.

This is between me and ugly.

Straight heat.

That a boy.

- Strike two!

- Aw, that sh*t's outside.

No wonder nobody

likes you, Tuttle.

Everything's a goddamn

debate. [ Scully ] Fastball,
