GAME 58 - JUNE 1st - RADIO BROADCAST
Red: "The FOFCers still haven't kicked things into gear the way they did early in the season, but they have maintained their 4 to 6 game division lead. However, this is a crucial series for the All-Stars. If they want to prove they belong they need to do well this week."
Hal McRae chimes in, "It's a little early in the season to talk about a cruical series, but this one will have some impact. The FOFCers have done extremely well early, but most of those wins came against the American League teams, especially the Japanese team, now they are facing their division rivals, and more importantly the team that has been able to real them in a bit...the NL Posters."
"They have a tough assignment trying to win tonight, as they will be going up against Sandy Koufax." Red adds. "The umpire has given the signal and it looks like we are ready to being...The FOFCers will counter with their own tough lefty Al Mighty..."
"Not a great team for a Lefty to be facing by the way...I mean the Post Nationals have Aaron, Mays, Clemente, Banks, Schmidt...some pretty nasty right handed bats...
Hays throws down to second, the ball goes around the horn and we are ready to begin...
Morgan steps in...and on the first pitch he hits a weak
