Miley BB CD 1956 World Series Game 5
Called by Bob Neal and Bob Wolff

With Gil Hodges at the plate, Casey Stengel stands on the dugout steps and moves Mickey Mantle over towards left field.  When Hodges slams the ball into left-center, Mantle is barely able to catch it, preserving Don Larsen's perfect game.
