Tension on the Mound: A Crucial 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
You don't belong here. And you never will.
[To Robinson]
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. Needless to say, Ostermueller being careful with him. (OVER RADIO) It's 3-0 now. Robinson patient, waiting for something he can swing on.

Why'd you do this Mr. Rickey?

Branch Rickey
We had a victory over fascism in Germany. It's time we had a victory over racism here.
Jackie Robinson
No. Why? Why'd YOU do it? Come on.
Branch Rickey
I love this game. I love baseball. Given my whole life to it. 40 odd years ago I was a player-coach at ]. We had a Negro catcher. Best hitter on the team. Charlie Thomas. Fine young man. I saw him laid low, broken because of the color of his skin and I didn't do enough to help. Told myself I did but I didn't. There was something unfair at the heart of the game I loved and I ignored it. But a time came when I could no longer do that. You... you let me love baseball again.

Tension and Resolve in a Crucial Game
Barber
But it wasn't enough... ...as the Cardinals tied it up with two of their own in the 9th. This game is crucial to the Red Birds. They are five games out... ...with the Dodgers not having relinquished first place since June 30th. They call him "Country." Slaughter's hitless in four trips. "Fireman" Casey in his second inning of relief. This game is just as tight as a new pair of shoes on a rainy day. Casey goes into his windup. Slaughter hits a hard ground ball right at Reese, who fires it over to Jack at first.
Barber
Oh, my! Robinson is down. Slaughter spiked him high up on the leg and he is down.
Man 2
Goddamn it! You knew what you were doing! You spiked my guy! Get up, Jackie. Get him up, boys, get him up. Stay off it. Team doc will be out. Hugh, next guy up, you hit him right in the head. You clean his clock.
Jackie Robinson
No. Get me up.
Man 3
No, lay down, man. You're staying.
Jackie Robinson
No. Get me up!
Jackie Robinson
Just get him out. Just get him out. Understand? Game's too important. Just get him out. Go play ball.
