During the game preceding Kiner's Korner, Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Chris Short throws the last pitch at the Polo Grounds to N.Y. Mets batter, Ted Schriber, as the Phillies beat the Mets 5 to 1. Bob Murphy does the play-by-play for the last of the ninth inning. As Murphy signs off, "Auld Lang Syne" can be heard as it is sung by the crowd at the stadium. On Kiner's Korner, guest N.Y. Mets manager, Casey Stengel, reminisces with Ralph Kiner about the Polo Grounds. (Memories began for Stengel when he was a player there fifty years ago in 1913.)
