Miley BB CD 1960 Yankees-Tigers 7/17 (Game 2)
Called by Mel Allen and Phil Rizzuto

Moose Skowron hits a 2-run homer in the eighth to tie the game, but the ball is clearly foul. Rocky Colavito comes running in from right field to protest, and the Detroit fans boo the rest of the inning... until Rocky regains the Tiger lead with a two-out eighth-inning RBI single.
