10/14/1975 Red Sox manager Darrell Johnson talks to umpires after no Armbrister interference on Fisk

This is a short video from Oct. 14, 1975, Game 3 of the World Series between the Boston Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds, won by the Reds, 6-5. Taken from Major League Baseball's Super Series 75 film, narrated by NBC's Joe Garagiola, it shows Red Sox manager Darrell Johnson vehemently arguing with the umpires about a non-interference call that eventually cost his team the game.
Tied at 5, Cesar Geronimo led off the Reds' 10th with a single off Jim Willoughby. Reds manager Sparky Anderson sent pinch hitter Ed Armbrister up to sacrifice. Armbrister's bunt bounced high in front of the plate. Boston catcher Carlton Fisk pounced on the ball as Armbrister hesitated before running and seemed to impede Fisk as he was retrieving the ball. Fisk's hurried throw to second to force Geronimo sailed into center field as Geronimo went to third, Armbrister to second. Fisk and Johnson argued that Armbrister should have been ruled out for interference, but plate ump Larry Barnett said no. Willoughby intentionally walked Pete Rose to load the bases and set up a force at any base. Johnson brought in lefthander Roger Moret to face Ken Griffey, but Anderson countered with righthanded hitting Merv Rettenmund. Rettenmund struck out for the first out, but Joe Morgan scored Geronimo with a fly to center over a drawn in outfield.
As a Red Sox fan ... of course he was interfered with! I'm not convinced the umps were even sure of the rule that covered that play, and I always appreciated Johnson letting them have it. The Sox lost the game, and the Series in seven. The title in 2004 eased a lot of the pain (for 1946, 1967, and 1986 as well as '75), but New England sure was livid about this call at the time.
