Miley BB CD 1968 As-Tigers 9/14
Called by Ernie Harwell and Ray Lane

Denny McLain wins his 30th game of the season, but it takes a ninth-inning comeback by the Tigers.  This presentation is heavily edited between pitches, and the commercials have been cut out,  which left room for 40 minutes of 1968 Tiger highlights on disc 2.
