00:00:10 JOE BUCK [ON TV]: And now Mark McGwire, his historic chase continues.
00:05:57 KAHN: Mickey, how you doing? GREEN: How you doing, Mick?
00:10:47 ...welcome to Yankee Stadium.
00:16:00 - All right. - Okay.
00:21:30 Now here's Frank Lary on the mound, he looks Richardson back.
00:26:11 [MICKEY LAUGHING]
00:30:37 I'm not riled up, Whitey.
00:35:38 Yeah, I tried that once.
00:40:20 I'm gonna bet you a hundred bucks neither one of them hits 50.
00:44:13 ...by saying that The Babe had it easier.
00:48:28 Still six weeks until Frick's deadline as the Yankees head to the West Coast...
00:52:46 I'll get that.
00:57:59 Oh, jeez, don't ask me this.
01:02:24 Hey, cheap shots, man. That's part of the deal.

01:49:57 ANNOUNCER: Will Roger bump The Babe?
01:55:51 I really don't think that's something you earn on a ball field.
