Hey, DW. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
Hey! | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
Whoa! | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
And now, stepping up to the plate with bases loaded is rookie, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
George Lundgren. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
Lundgren is making his big league debut, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
facing the most damaging arm in pitching history. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
Walter "Big Train" Johnson. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
The train has left the station! | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Deep, deep, deep into left-field. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
Back, way back, we're talking feet, we're talking time zones. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
And a massive grand slam in his first career at-bat, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
around the bases and around the world | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
with George "Lucky Lundy" Lundgren. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
So, Lucky Lundy, | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
how are you feeling about your first day of Little League practice? | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
Well, Wally, last year I missed the age cut-off by two weeks, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
so I have been waiting for this day a long time. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
I'm bringing my A game, | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
but I will be taking my cues from the coach and the rest of the team. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
Modest words from a sports legend. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
Now back to the drawer for the sock report. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
And do you know which World Series was lost because of a single strike? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
1994. There was no World Series because the players were on strike. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
Ha-ha-ha, trick question. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
Wow, George, I didn't know you knew so much about baseball. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
It's always been a hobby of mine. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
Francine, can you hit a few out to George and Arthur? | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
Actually, I'm having a little trouble with my swing. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
Looks like your stance is a little stiff. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
-Have you tried shifting your weight? -What do you mean? | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
Shift from your back foot to your front while you swing. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
Good advice. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
Where did you pick that up? | 0:02:56 | 0:02:57 | |
A website about all-time power hitters. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
Ruth, Mantle, Williams - | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
they compare old-style weight shift versus new style. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
That's Frensky style! | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
Hey, George, any advice for a non-power hitter like me? | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
How can I hit the strike zone every time? | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
I'm interested in your thoughts on the physics of the knuckleball. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
We've got a few weeks before our first game. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
Let's give George some time to get his own practice in. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
George, welcome to the team. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
Practice. Day Two. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
The Grebelings' spring training shows a promising season ahead. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:34 | |
On the other hand, | 0:03:36 | 0:03:37 | |
it's a good thing for Lundgren there are three more weeks of practice. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:42 | |
With opening day a week away, | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
it looks like Lundgren might have discovered his position. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
Oh! Oh! | 0:03:50 | 0:03:51 | |
Horizontal! | 0:03:51 | 0:03:52 | |
But sometimes it takes until the last day of spring training | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
for a player to find his strengths. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
And sometimes even longer to find his bat. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
So, after a disastrous pre-season performance, | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
what are you thinking about, heading into tomorrow's opening game? | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
I'm thinking I've been holding this ball for five minutes | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
and I only dropped it once. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
See, you are getting better. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
No, I'm not. If anything, I think I have gotten worse. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
Most of us weren't any good even after a lot of practices. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
Most of us still aren't any good, we're just a little less not good. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:30 | |
Oh, I hope you're right. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
Can I borrow this book about the craziest plays in baseball history? | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
Sure, take anything you want. I don't want to look at them any more. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
I made it just for you. It's called the Lundgren Slugger. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
Wow, it's beautiful. "Stepping up to the plate, it's George Lundgren, | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
"the Sultan of Swat! Here's the wind-up, the pitch..." | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
-Hey, rookie, ready for your first at-bat? -Erm, no. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
Just remember to shift your weight. It works for me every time. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
Come on, George, you can do it. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
-ALL: -George! George! | 0:05:15 | 0:05:20 | |
"Stepping up to the plate, George Lundgren, the Sultan of Sweat." | 0:05:20 | 0:05:25 | |
GROANS | 0:05:35 | 0:05:36 | |
You're out. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
Sorry. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
CHEERING | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
GROANS | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
Oh! | 0:05:50 | 0:05:51 | |
GASPS | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
Ha-ha! | 0:05:54 | 0:05:55 | |
-ALL: -Woo-hoo! | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
Hooray! | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
Yo-ou're out! | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
Urgh! | 0:06:13 | 0:06:14 | |
CHEERING | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
I want to congratulate you all on an amazing season so far. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
And, if we win tomorrow's game, we are in the play-offs. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
Now, before we get to the ice cream, | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
my friend, Harry Mills, from Elwood City Times has something to ask you. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
If it's OK with you, I'd like to come to the game tomorrow | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
and do a story about the Grebelings. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
Wow, in the paper! | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
Cool! | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
Isn't that amazing? They're doing a story just on us! | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
Yup. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
Harry, you have to meet George. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
He knows more about baseball than anyone. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
Then, maybe he would like to join us for the Grebes' game tonight. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
I happen to have three extra tickets. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
Go Grebes! | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
Thanks, Mr Mills, but I'm busy. Maybe another time. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:07 | |
You know, for a kid who's a big fan, he doesn't seem that enthusiastic. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
'Big Train looks like he's working up a lot of steam.' | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
It's too heavy. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
Ooooooooooh! | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
Strike! | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
Oh! | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
DING DONG! | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
Hey, George, what are you doing here? | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
I came to give this to Francine. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
Aren't you coming to the game today? | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
I have decided to quit the team. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
-Why? -Because I'm no good. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
I really used to like baseball, now it just makes me feel rotten. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:56 | |
I know it's frustrating, but think it over. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
Maybe you can come to the game today and just sit it out, no pressure. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
OK, but I still think Francine should use the Lundgren Slugger. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:07 | |
I'm afraid she won't be using it today. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
A...a...CHOO! | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
You're sick?! | 0:08:15 | 0:08:16 | |
I'll get you some soup, sweetie. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
Can you call me and tell me what's happening? | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
-But I don't have a cellphone. -You can use mine. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
And you might as well bring the Lundgren Slugger along | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
in case we need an extra bat. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
You're out. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:34 | |
Is this seat taken? I'm not going to talk baseball. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
It's OK. I just... | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
You don't have to explain, | 0:08:40 | 0:08:41 | |
I had a miserable first year of Little League, too. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
Anyway, I'll let you make your call. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
It's Francine, she's home sick, and... | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
Yeah, tough break for the team. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
Hi, Francine, we just finished the first inning. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
It started off with Binky throwing some wild pitches, | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
but then the Mountaineers got swing happy | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
and Binky struck out three in a row. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:02 | |
Arthur singled through the hole, | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
Muffy hit into a double play, and Buster struck out. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
I'll call you back when the... | 0:09:08 | 0:09:09 | |
Whoa! One of the Mountaineers just hit a missile way out to centre. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:15 | |
Carl is waving Arthur off. Looks like he's under it. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
Oh no, lost it in the sun. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
Mountaineer rounding first, Arthur scoops it up on one bounce, | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
he sets, throws to second, it's high, reaches, grabs it, | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
makes the tag, Mountaineer out at second. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
Yes! | 0:09:30 | 0:09:31 | |
I'm here with Harry Mills. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
Harry, do you think the Grebelings might be feeling a little momentum? | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
Well, George, they're relieved, | 0:09:36 | 0:09:37 | |
but it is a little early to get too confident. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
Harry, I have to agree. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
With the leading run on third, and the Mountaineers pitching, | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
the wind-up, the pitch, a sinker. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
Brain gets under it and bam, it's a hard drive past first, | 0:09:49 | 0:09:54 | |
Brain is heading home. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
Right fielder scoops it, fires to first, | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
Read is...out, on a single! | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
Yeah! | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
And the Grebelings take the lead in the bottom of the sixth. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
Oh, no, the phone battery's going. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
Francine, I'll call you right back. Quick, who has got a phone? | 0:10:09 | 0:10:15 | |
And, with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Barnes up first. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
It comes down to... | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
Buster Baxter, it's do or die. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:25 | |
The wind-up, the pitch... | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
he hit it! | 0:10:28 | 0:10:29 | |
Hard to left field. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
ALL: Run, Buster, run! | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
Baxter's first hit of the season, | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
a bomb over the head of the left fielder. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
Binky is hustling to second, as Baxter reaches first. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
The centre-field grass seems to have eaten the ball. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
-And we seem to have a bit of a traffic jam. -Binky, move, move! | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
The centre-fielder has recovered the ball, | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
he launches it in, Binky passing third, the park is erupting, | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
the pitcher cuts it off, throws home. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
It bounces in front of the catcher, he can't get his hands on the ball. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
Catcher has control, set to tag... | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
Get...out...of...my...way! | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
The catcher has rolled himself into a ball. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
Harry, in all your years...? | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
Never seen anything like that. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
And the Grebelings literally stampede their way to the play-offs. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:14 | |
They have pulled it out with their ace hitter, Frensky, on the DL. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
Francine, we did it, the Grebelings win! The Grebelings win! | 0:11:18 | 0:11:24 | |
Looks like your friend might have a career in baseball after all! | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
We have perfect weather for the first game of the play-offs. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
George Lundgren here with the Grebelings' star powerhouse, | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
Francine Frensky, fresh off the DL. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
Francine, how does it feel to be back? | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
Great, I'm feeling better and looking forward to playing ball. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
I think I'll head out there right now. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
You don't know how much I've missed it. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
Me, too. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
And that one is out of there! | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
