00:00The rookie Tim Sama swings at the first pitch sends it up the middle and passed.

00:06Stankowicz center center field for his first I think it's going to be his first major league hit.

00:12He was just called up a few days ago.

00:14He was 0 for 6 before that base hit.

00:16Yes they're going to throw it back in.

00:18The first major league hit for Tim Sama.

00:22Just recalled from Edmonton.

00:30And a drive deep to left.

00:32He hit this one well and it's gone.

00:36Sama hits an 0-1 pitch.

00:40And this one is over.

00:42Oh there's a shot way back.

01:01Forget about it.

01:02Gone.

01:03A tape measure job from Tim Sama.

01:05And make no mistake.

01:20That young fella is going to be around a long long time in this league.

01:26Here's one driven to right center way back.

01:29And out of the reach of Buehner.

01:31Heading for third is Curtis.

01:32They're waving him in.

01:33Curtis headed for the plate on a double by Salmon.

01:37And Chad scores to make it 6-0.

01:40Oh baby.

01:42Tim Salmon.

01:43A single.

01:44A double.

01:45Two home runs.

01:46And three RBI.

01:50Oh boy.

01:53That's a three-round over.

01:55Hey, let's get this thing over.

02:14Yeah.

02:1817th homer for Salmon.

02:19He now has driven in 48 on the season.

02:22He sends a fly ball to right field and deep back is Salmon on the track and he jumps and makes the catch up against the wall.

02:37He's got to take his eye off the ball and it's a miracle he was able to find it again.

02:51Alex Gonzalez drove it to right field.

02:53Watch Salmon.

02:54He turns one way and then turns all the way around the other way and took his eye off the ball.

02:59But when he turned around he found it again right here over his left shoulder back over his right shoulder now.

03:06Boy, what a good effort by Tim Salmon.

03:09Hopped up down the right field line.

03:11Salmon digging after it.

03:13Snow digging after it.

03:14And Salmon with a tremendous catch in foul territory.

03:18What a play by Tim Salmon.

03:21Magnancy's going to pitch to him and the pitch is swung on and driven a deep right center field.

03:25Back is Salmon at the wall.

03:27Reaches up and brings it back.

03:30Tim Salmon takes the home run away from Juan Gonzalez right in front of the Rangers bullpen.

03:37Straight up in the outfield.

03:38The white uniforms with the pinstripes are the New York Yankees.

03:42Clemens steals an 0-1.

03:44It's hit hard out the left field.

03:45On the move is David Justice.

03:47He looks up.

03:47That ball is out of here.

03:50Tim Salmon number 223.

03:54It is a 3-2 Yankees lead.

03:56But more importantly, Tim Salmon stands all by himself, all alone in the history of Angels baseball.

04:02No one has hit more home runs than Tim Salmon as he touches home plate.

04:07It's official number 223.

04:10And congratulations to Tim Salmon.

04:12And isn't it appropriate that Tim Salmon, who made not only his big league debut in this ballpark,

04:17but also hit his first career home run here at Yankee Stadium, would break the Angels all-time record.

04:232-23.

04:24Congratulations, Tim Salmon.

04:25Well hit into left field.

04:30If it's fair, it's gone.

04:31Down the line, it is gone for a home run, and the Angels take a first inning lead.

04:38And the Angels take a first inning, Tim Salmon, with a long, slow trot, the franchise leader in career home runs,

04:49and Salmon has put the Angels out in front.

04:52Everything was away from Salmon, until the 3-2 pitch.

04:58Andy Pettit puts a smile on Tim Salmon's face, trying to cut the fastball in on the hands.

05:05Salmon just too quick to put the Angels on the board.

05:09Here's Tim Salmon.

05:11Curveball, a high drive deep down the left field line.

05:13That one is way back there, into the corner.

05:16That ball is gone!

05:19A home run!

05:229-6, Angels!

05:43Franchise leader in home runs, waits at the plate.

05:49And pumps one into left field, down the line, bonds in the ground.

05:53That's the wall, home run!

05:577-4, Anaheim.

05:597-3, 2-4, 2-4, 2-4, 3-4, 2-3, 3-4, 3-4.

07:43It has been a week of love for Tim Salmon

07:56In his final homestand of the year

07:58The fans love him

07:59Here he is

08:02The 38 year old right handed hitter

08:04He's not used to doing that all year long

08:05He hits one pretty well

08:07Center field

08:08Gary Matthews going back

08:10Oh look at this

08:122.99 for Tim Salmon

08:16How could it be more dramatic

08:34Fish didn't have to wait

08:36Keep this crowd waiting long

08:38You know I was going to think

08:40He's going to take a little bit of timing

08:41To get it down against the right hander

08:43But you could tell from his first swing on

08:45That he was going to look at the right center field

08:48That might have been some emotion behind that swing

08:50I was looking at the joy in his teammates faces

08:53As he came into that dugout

08:55They were just filled with joy

08:57About Tim Salmon going deep

08:592.99

09:00I want to thank the Angel organization

09:02Artie and Carol Marino

09:03For this great humbling honor

09:07Thank you

09:08Ladies and gentlemen

09:13Once again let's hear it for Tim Salmon
