5/16/1970 Indians at Red Sox Nearly complete WHDH-TV Boston game broadcast Top 1st-top 8th

This is a nearly complete WHDH-TV in Boston broadcast of the May 16, 1970 Major League Baseball game between the Cleveland Indians and the Red Sox in Boston, won by the Red Sox, 6-2. The announcer is Leo Egan, because the usual WHDH trio of Ken Coleman, Ned Martin, and Johnny Pesky refused to cross a picket line of the station's electrical workers. While the video does go from the top of the first to the top of the eighth, and there are plenty of interesting things to see, including Tony Conigliaro's sixth homer in seven games, unfortunately it lacks the bottom of the eighth. That's when the Red Sox broke out of a 2-2 tie on a Carl Yastrzemski three-run homer and a Rico Petrocelli solo shot to take a 6-2 lead, and then Ray Culp got the Indians 1-2-3 in the ninth for a complete game. But this wasn't any old Yaz home run. No. 8 hit a rising line drive through a crosswind that cleared the wall to the right of the flagpole in center (just the sixth man to do it), which left many wondering if it was the longest homer ever at Fenway Park. Yaz told the Boston Globe's Will McDonough, "When I hit it, I knew it was something special. Only two or three times in my life I've hit a ball and felt absolutely nothing on the bat. You only get this sensation when the ball is hit perfectly. This was one of those times." Said Indians manager Alvin Dark, "That was one of the hardest balls I've ever seen hit.'' Notes: Indians center fielder Ted Uhlaender staged an eight-minute walkout, angry because of debris being thrown at him from the bleachers. He alerted the umpires, then fired an apple back at the fans in the stands. Then he raced into the Indians dugout before being convinced to come back. When he did, he saluted the fans with a couple of obscene gestures ... Would love to know what was going on with the infield in 1970, as its color is very gray. Box score in comments.
