KINER'S KORNER Premiered with the first televised New York Mets home game (April 19, 1962) broadcast on WOR TV Channel 9 in New York. This 15 minute program aired prior to and after each NEW YORK METS home baseball game.

The show usually consisted of an interview with the star of the game from the winning team, along with game highlights and scores of other games from that day. Sometimes two or more players were featured.

The show's theme music was Flag of Victory Polka, written by Alvino Rey under the name Ira Ironstrings. The show's name came from the close-in left field seats in Forbes Field where Kiner deposited many home runs during his Hall of Fame career as a Pirate home-run hitter.

Most extant KINER KORNER archived broadcasts are circa 1980's and 1990's and only a few dozen of those broadcasts are known to exist. Sadly, many hundreds of other shows were never recorded or if recorded on video tape erased over (wiped) using the 2" Quad to record a next broadcast, saving money or not viewing the saving of these programs of any value once aired.

    SPECIAL  one hour broadcast, of which only the first nine minutes are recorded, recounts the elements that led to the New York Mets team's triumph last year winning the World Series after placing 9th in 1968.

Gil Hodges is interviewed by Lindsey Nelson. He states the reasons that led to the team's success last year when the Mets won 100 games, twenty seven more games than the year before. 

Hodges relates how he felt when he initially left his managerial role with the Washington Senators after the 1967 season and signed on to manage the Mets in 1968. Gil states that the most important quality a team can achieve during a season is for each player to take pride each day in one's own accomplishments and the importance of  sustaining few injuries during a complete season which was the scenario for the New York Mets in 1969.

Mets, with Staub, Top Pirates in 9th On Hit by Dyer, 1‐0

After an intentional walk to Ed Kranepool, Duffy Dyer stroked a single to left field. Staub, who is not the fastest man on the Mets' roster, managed to advance.

Jon Matlock pitches a complete game five-hitter as the New York Mets defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates 1-0 at Shea Stadium in New York. Nelson Briles is the losing pitcher for the Pirates. Announcers are Bob Murphy, Ralph Kiner, and Lindsey Nelson. Aired on WKAJ Radio.

Jon Matlock pitched a five-hitter and Duffy Dyer's ninth-inning single drove in the game's only run as the New York Mets beat the Pittsburgh Pirates. The loss left the World Champion Pirates' magic number for clinching the National League East crown at three. The team was looking for any combination of three Pittsburgh victories and or Chicago losses which would wrap up a third straight division crown for Pittsburgh.

John Matlack, 13 & 9, and Nellie Briles, 14 & 8, were locked in a scoreless duel until the ninth inning. Then, Rusty Staub, playing only his second game since June 18 for the Mets, opened the bottom of the ninth with his second hit of the game. Cleon Jones sacrificed Staub to second and Ed Kranepool was intentionally walked. Dyer followed with his winning hit.

The Pittsburgh Pirates best chance against Jon Matlock came in the top of the ninth when Richie Hebner and Bob Robertson singled with two out. But Gene Alley popped up, ending the game.
