Miley BB CD 1969 Cardinals-Mets 9/24
Called by Lindsey Nelson  Ralph Kiner and Bob Murphy

The Mets clinch the N.L. East title behind Gary Gentry's 4-hit shutout, and the Shea Stadium fans go wild.  Donn Clendenon and Ed Charles each hit home runs in the first inning, driving in 5 runs, and that's more than enough.
