Announcer: "Everyone's favorite nearsighted character stumbles his way to another laugh-filled half-hour on WGN. Watch Mr. Magoo in color tonight at 6:30. Your Cubs station, WGN, Channel 9, Chicago."
Vince Lloyd: "Welcome to the 10th inning show everyone. In case you just got home from school, the first-place Cubs and Redlegs sped through a 1 hour, 40 minute game this afternoon, the Cubs prevailing by a final score of 2-0 behind a 5-hit effort by this guy I have on the field right now, Glen Hobbie. On Opening Day, this guy struck out 11 Redlegs, only to lose a heartbreaker in the late innings, 6-4. You had a mission of revenge today Glen, how did you go about it?
Hobbie: "Nothing but fastballs, Vince. It was also Opening Day when we met that first time, so I was a little nervous out there, which would explain those strikeouts. But I wanted to make sure those pitches actually met the bats and our gloves. As you saw, I succeeded."
Lloyd: "You had only a couple of significant scares out there in the 5th and 6th. You had them at 1st and 3rd with 2 outs, you blew Eddie Kasko out with a monster fastball. In the 6th, Frank Robinson singled, you know he's gonna steal 2nd, but Sammy Taylor had other plans. Talk us through that one."
Hobbie: It's all a matter of throwing that one pitch and getting it to Sammy at the right time. Once I knew that ball was safely in Sammy's mitt, Robby was gonna make that jump and Sammy had to whip it at about 85 miles an hour to catch him. Turned out, it was about 90 and Robby was out cold."
Lloyd: "For that matter, so were the Reds, as not a single Red reached from that point on. Your line reads, 9 innings, 0 runs, 5 hits, 6 strikeouts, no walks. Joey Jay's line read, 8 innings, 2 runs, 4 hits, 7 strikeouts, no walks. Now that's a pitcher's duel, Glen."
Hobbie: "Jay was terrific, except for Georgie's(Altman) home run in the 3rd. He was solid throughout, I think he's gonna be a great pitcher, up there with the Drysdales and the Spahns, certainly Cy Young-worthy in the years to come."
Lloyd: Well Glen, so were you today in a terrific outing against a fine young pitcher. We'll likely see you next against Willie and his friends from the Bay Area, until then, congratulations on a terrific game this afternoon."
Hobbie: "Thanks, Vince. I know I'll have nightmares about facing Willie next time, we'll see what happens with these guys."
Lloyd: "Thanks again to Glen Hobbie and for being our guest on the 10th Inning show, he will receive a portable TV from Zenith and Polk Bros. We'll be back in just one moment."
Lloyd: "Yankees lead the Tigers, 10-5 in the 8th inning at Tiger Stadium, Sheldon and Maris have homered for the Bombers, Kaline and McAuliffe for Detroit. They just went to the 6th inning at Fenway, the Red Sox are beating the Senators, 9-3, Veal has homered for the Senators runs. In Baltimore tonight, it'll be Billy Hoeft for the league-leading Orioles against the Indians, who will throw Wynn Hawkins in that one.
Everything else on the National League is under the lights, Pittsburgh will try to snap a 9-game losing streak against the Phillies, Friend vs. Robin Roberts. Spahn and Broglio will be the matchup in St. Louis tonight and Don Drysdale opposes Jack Sanford at the Coliseum late tonight, Dodgers hosting the Giants.
And here at Wrigley this afternoon it was the Cubs, 2 runs, 4 hits, no errors, 3 left. Cinicinnati, 0 runs, 5 hits, I error, 4 left. Hobbie goes the route for the win, the loss to Joey Jay. Altman with his 2nd home run, the only runs of the afternoon. Same 2 teams here tomorrow, Ellsworth vs. Hunt, the Lead-off Man show starting at 1:10. That's the story from Wrigley, Vince Lloyd saying so long, everybody. This has been a presentation of WGN Sports."
