ALL STAR - GAME 2 - RADIO BROADCAST

Welcome everyone to the ballpark
The players are on the field
and we're almost ready to go
As Honus Wagner prepares to face Grove
let's check out the American
League defense
At first base is Gehrig
Wells is down at the hot corner
Collins and Ripken
are at second and short, respectively
From left to right... Williams,
Cobb and Ruth
and now Gibson is just
settling in behind the plate
The All Stars' southpaw winds and delivers
A hanging curve...
Wagner laces it hard just
to the right of Wells
He makes a stab at it...
Just misses it!
It's on into the outfield for a single
A wide turn by Honus...
but he'll stay at first
as the ball comes in

Lefty Grove watches Wagner
As he moves away from the bag
Grove steps away from the mound...
Now Wagner moves back to first
He's not getting far from the bag

Settling in at the plate is Kelley
Grove tosses the resin bag aside
He steps on the rubber...
The pitch on the way, here it is...
Kelley swings and lifts one toward left
Williams drifts over slowly...
He is under it now...
And makes the easy catch...
One away in the top of the
1st for National League

National League second baseman,
Nap Lajoie, is up next

He's staring intently out at Grove
He's waiting for the pitch
The pitch to Lajoie...
Base hit to right for Lajoie
Wagner is being waved to third...
The throw is cut off...
That holds Lajoie at first

Yells something to Grove
The delivery

It's a 'daisy cutter' to Ripken

Looks Lajoie back to second
Now fires it over to first...
Easy out
And there's two away

Making his way up is Mays
A base hit should score Lajoie
Grove looks down at Gibson for the sign...
Shakes him off once... twice
Now he has the pitch he wants
He brings it home
That one is a grass cutter towards short
Ripken fronts it...
OOPS! It takes a big hop!
Cal manages to come up with it
on the heel of his glove
Rolls the ball into his free hand
On to first
It is off target...
Gehrig one hops it into his glove
Out!
Gehrig can't get out of the way
and Willie runs right into him

on the rightfield side of the bag
