Game 2 of the 1973 World Series between the New York Mets and Oakland A's. The Mets defeat the A's in 12 innings 10-7, to even the series at one game apiece. This archived audio air check is joined in progress in the top of the Mets 10th inning with one out of this 70th World Series contest when the score is tied up at 6 to 6 and recorded to conclusion including the last out in the bottom of the 12th inning. Notable for this game, it tied a World Series record for most pitchers used in a single World Series game. Also, this game entered the record books for the longest World Series game at 253 minutes long, the Mets using five pitchers, 18 players overall and the Athletics using six pitchers, 21 players overall. NOTE: Archived and available on You Tube is a video of this game that runs 2 hours and 27 minutes of the 4 hours and 13 minutes which was the longest World Series game time at that time. This NBC TV excerpt of the game is not complete, and the air check is missing most of the (non-scoring) action from the top of the fifth to the bottom of the eighth inning. More importantly there is no NBC TV broadcast video or audio coverage ny announcers Curt Gowdy and Monte Moore of the live play by play action covering the entire bottom of the 11th and top of the 12th inning when WILLIE MAYS GETS HIS FINAL MAJOR LEAGUE HIT (AN RBI GO AHEAD SINGLE) as a player capping off his long esteemed career (3,293 hits). NOTE: The above Willie Mays treasured air check in the archive of Archival Television Audio, is not extant anywhere else in the country's vast bastions of museums, or private collections nor is Willie May's last at bat (also "lost" in the NBC TV vaults) as a major leaguer in Game 3 of the 1973 World Series (Oct. 16, 1973). Also, ATA has archived the only television (WPIX Channel 11 New York) broadcast record of Willie Mays last at bat as a New York Giant (September 29, 1957). There also does not exist live play by play coverage of the Oakland Athletics batting in the bottom of the 12th inning. Game ending with the Mets 10 and the Athletics 7. This marathon contest went into extra innings tied at 6, and in the top of the 10th the A's caught a break when left fielder Joe Rudi threw out Bud Harrelson at the plate - except that catcher Ray Fosse never tagged him. So it stayed deadlocked until the top of the 12th. A Mays RBI single gave the Mets a 7–6 lead, then a ball went between A's second baseman Mike Andrews' legs to score two and make it 9-6. The next batter grounded to Andrews, but the umpire (incorrectly) ruled his throw to first pulled Gene Tenace off the bag and a run scored to make it 10–6. NOTE: AT TRACK 36 THERE IS A 16 SECOND SILENT GAP.
