Miley BB CD 1966 Braves-Mets 9/11
Called by Ralph Kiner and Bob Murphy

This is the debut game for Nolan Ryan, who pitches 2 innings in relief, striking out three, including the first batter he faces.  Two batters later, he fans Eddie Mathews.  Ryan's impressive minor league strikeout totals are discussed, and Bob Murphy seems very enthusiastic about young Ryan's future in the Majors.
