Miley BB CD 1960 White Sox-Yankees (8/23)
Called by Mel Allen, Red Barber and Phil Rizzuto

After Chicago scores 3 runs in the first inning, announced starter Billy Pierce pulls a muscle while warming up.  Early Wynn is allowed to start the game instead, and Casey Stengel protests the game.  Wynn goes on to pitch all 9 innings, for the 281st win of his career.
