Umpires:
Dave Phillips - cc
Dallas Parks
Dan Morrison
Durwood Merrill
Phillips suspended the second game. AL President Lee MacPhail forfeited the game to the Tigers the next day.
Phillips tried to tell owner Bill Veeck that they couldn't play the second game due to the danger. He said, "We have to think about our wives and kids."
Veeck, in a moment of high stress, made a very offensive remark regarding the umpires' wives and kids.
Phillips said after that remark, there was no chance of playing the second game. Recently retired umpire and then supervisor, Nestor Chylak told Veeck, "Those are your people, Bill. You go deal with them."
The....fun.....starts at the 2:38:00 mark.
