“Fritz Ostermueller on the mound. He's 12-8 on the season. A big game...”

Barber: Fritz Ostermueller on the mound. He's 12-8 on the season. A big game today in Pittsburgh. A win and the Dodgers will have clinched the National League pennant... ...Yankees having already clinched in the American League. There's bad blood here... ...as Ostermueller beaned Robinson in the head earlier in the season... ...prompting quite a rhubarb at the time. Teams have gone their separate ways since... ...with Ostermueller left standingin the Dodgers' way... ...as they chase the pennant that eluded them last year. Here comes the pitch. And Robinson takes outside. Ball one.
Pittsburgh player: Come on, Fritz, let's get this boy!
Fritz Ostemueller: [To Robinson] You don't belong here. And you never will.
Barber: Robinson crowding the plate. Jack hasn't backed down to a pitcher all season.
Man: There you go, Jackie!
Dodgers player: You got nothing for him, Ostermueller! But he's got something for you!
Barber: Ostermueller winds and throws. Low and away, ball two. Fritz seems to be pitching around Jackie... ...or as they say in the trade, trying to get him to chase. Robinson's having a fine rookie standard... ...batting .301 with 31 doubles and 10 home runs. He has stolen 27 bases this season and has yet to be thrown out attempting. [OSTERMUELLER GRUNTS] Needless to say, Ostermueller being careful with him. (OVER RADIO) It's 3-0 now. Robinson patient, waiting for something he can swing on.
Jackie Robinson: Give me something. Give me something I can hit.
Fritz Ostemueller: You want it?
Jackie Robinson: What are you afraid of?
Barber: Ostermueller looking in for the sign.
Fritz Ostemueller: Be careful what you ask for, boy.
Barber: And here comes the pitch. [CROWD CHEERING] Oh, and that's a deep fly ball to left. Kiner on his horse, I don't think he'll get there. Back, back, back, and... Oh, ho, ho, doctor! Robinson got his pitch! It's a home run. (CHEERING) And barring a miracle comeback... ...the Dodgers are going to the World Series! (ALL CHEERING) He did it, he did it! (CROWD CHEERING) Jack in his home run trot now, and the home crowd here at Forbes... ..recognizing something special when they see it. All the same, I can practically hear the roar...from the heart of Flatbush back in Brooklyn.
Wendell Smith: [On his typewriter] Robinson rounds third... .headed for home, sweet home.
