After yielding three singles, a sacrifice, and the tying run in the last of the Youth, Stobbs was replaced by Kinder and then by Parnell. The 49-game inning combination got one man out-true-footed Eddie Robinson tried to steal game...
Often she has had the closing program spot, which might mean waiting until the end of an extra-inning night baseball game. Once, ready and made-up at 8 p.m., she went on the air sometime after midnight. "If the image was wobbly it wasn't because of bad transmission," she says. "It was just my make-up blurring." Another night a "deuce" (2,000-watt spotlight) exploded while she was singing a number called Lovers' Gold.

There was still less in the first inning of the second game that day when Musial belted another homer to give St. Louis a two-run lead.
