Miley BB CD 1957 Dodgers-Giants 9/8
Called by Vin Scully and Jerry Doggett

It's the last Dodgers-Giants game ever played at the Polo Grounds, and Vin Scully shares some of his memories of that classic rivalry, in that historic park.  Meanwhile, Hank Sauer's 2-run homer off Don Drysdale provides the winning margin.
