Garth nailed it.
It was a baltimore chop in front of the plate. Burkhart moved out in front to call fair/foul, not realizing that the runner was going on contact (not sure if the bases were loaded with 2 outs or what). Bernie Carbo was the runner, he slid around both the catcher and Burkhart. The catcher fielded the ball with his hand with an empty glove attempted to tag Carbo. Burkhart, with his back turned, called Carbo out, and Sparky Anderson came out
Burkhart, for whatever reason, kept calling Sparky "Danny". Not sure what that was about. Baltimore won 3-2, and went on to win the series in 5.
