The final Brooklyn Dodger baseball game before the Brooklyn Dodgers were scheduled to leave for Los Angeles, California, for the 1958 season, departing Brooklyn after playing 45 years at Ebbets Field. This final Brooklyn Dodger baseball game is played on the road in Philadelphia Pennsylvania against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Broadcast on radio WOKO 1460. Vin Scully and Jerry Dogget call the play-by-play. Ironically, this memorable baseball game was not televised to home fans in Brooklyn as was the New York Giants final game at the Polo Grounds.

This game is notable also for the fact that it contains the last at bat of Brooklyn Dodger catcher great Roy Campanella who would suffer paralysis as a result of an automobile accident on January 28, 1958, ending his illustrious baseball career.

NOTE: 
This is a COMPLETE GAME, unlike radio broadcast versions that exists on the internet and /or housed in other museums or private collector's archives, which contain in their recordings SIX MINUTES of missing counts related to FOUR player at bats. 

This historic recording (originally a peerless radio broadcast recorded off the air by Pat Rispole) was released to the public by John Miley on May 26, 2015. 

At the time the recording transfer process from the original 1/4" reel to reel master tape to CD disc includes occasional audio hiss, clicks, gaps, volume level changes, pitch issues, and only the left channel playing.

Phil Gries' ARCHIVAL TELEVISION AUDIO, INC. master copy of this broadcast is COMPLETE containing every pitch, transferred on both Right and Left tracks. 

The sound rendition of this audio air check contains no pitch issues, clicks, low & high volume aberrations, gaps and contains only very minor hiss. Two commercials have been deleted. 


 A SUPERIOR AND MOST COMPLETE VERSION OF THIS BROADCAST, EXTANT.

As an extra bonus and to remind the listener that this was to be the final game the Brooklyn Dodgers would ever play at Ebbets Field this transfer broadcast begins with two brief News broadcast stories indicating the departure of Brooklyn to Los Angeles for the upcoming 1958 season.
 

A- Mike Wallace on the TV Dumont Channel - May 28, 1957.
The possibility that Brooklyn Dodgers will be moving at the end of this season. 

B- Ron Cochran Evening News  on WCBS TV- October 8, 1957.
It is final. The Dodgers have played in Brooklyn for the last time.

#7766: BOXING SPECIAL, THE
1976-04-30, ABC, 150 min.
Howard Cosell , Muhammad Ali , Ken Norton , Jimmy Young , Ron Stander , Joe Louis

A Live Special ABC TV Broadcast. 

Matches include Ken Norton vs. Ron Stander, Muhammed Ali vs Jimmy Young, Howard Cosell is the host. 

Muhammad Ali (50-2) defends his heavyweight championship against Jimmy Young (17-4-2) in a 15 round bout at Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland. 

The questionable credentials of Ali's most recent foe, Jean-Pierre Cooperman, prompted some sports writers to wonder whether Al had embarked upon a "bum of the month" campaign, as Joe Louis did 25 years ago. Louis defended his title against mostly unranked opponents eight times between December 1940 and September 1941).

Young is no Cooperman, as his no. 3 rating by Ring Magazine attests. A polished stand-up boxer with an effective left jab (one of Ali's best weapons as well). Young rose to prominence in the heavyweight division when he beat sixth-ranked Ron Lyle in February 1975. Since then Young has worn three fights, two by KO. 

In the preliminary bout, top-ranked heavyweight contender Ken Norton faces Ron Stander. Howard Cosell reports at ring side.
