Original radio broadcast of the game played on April 8, 1969 between the New York Mets and Montreal Expos, at Shea Stadium. The Expos first game is a thriller. Their first home run comes off the bat of pitcher Dan McGinn, and Rusty Staub and Coco Laboy also hit home runs. Maury Wills has 3 hits, including two doubles. This presentation is missing the final out of the game. Called by Russ Taylor and Dave Van Horne. This is an authorized production of the famous Miley Collection, on 2 CDs. Postage is $2.50.
