The New York Mets play the Pittsburgh Pirates at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. Roberto Clemente gets his 3,000th and final major league base hit, a fourth inning double off of Mets pitcher Jon Matlock. Final Score: Pirates 5, Mets 0. Seven & half innings are only broadcast, but no scoring innings are missed, and only one hit by Willie Sargell in the bottom of the 8th inning is not aired / recorded. The game is broadcast on WKAJ 102.3 FM radio from Saratoga Springs New York. All commercials recorded including spots with George Burns, Lee Trevino, and Bing Crosby chairman of the Arthritis Foundation, which were filmed by DP Phil Gries (creator & owner of Archival Television Audio, Inc.) NOTE: Original broadcast transmitted with a slight hum (commercials and station identifications have no hum). After the top of the eight inning an announcer interrupts the broadcast and states that "we are experiencing technical difficulties." Music is played at which point this audio air check concludes. NOTE: This audio air check is the only broadcast record, known to date, of this historic game. IN RETROSPECT: On September 30, 1972, Roberto Clemente stepped to the plate in the fourth inning of a game against the Mets. Little was at stake for the Pirates, as they'd already clinched the NL East title. But history was at hand for the 38-year-old right fielder, who sat at 2,999 hits. He had struck out in the first inning, but he wouldn't be denied in his second at-bat -- he doubled, becoming the 11th MLB player, and first Latino, to reach the 3,000-hit milestone. 1960 World Series hero Bill Mazeroski (also playing in his final season) pinch hit for Clemente the next time his spot came up in the order. Although he briefly played in the field three days later, as well as throughout that year's NLCS against the Reds, Clemente would never make another regular season plate appearance. He died in a plane crash off the coast of Puerto Rico on New Year's Eve 1972, attempting to bring emergency supplies to Nicaragua, which had recently been ravaged by a major earthquake. His influence as a pioneering Latino, a humanitarian and an outstanding baseball player was recognized in his time as much as it is today -- he the second player in history (after Lou Gehrig) to have the five-year Hall of Fame induction waiting period waived.

Larry Gowell is the losing pitcher for the Yankees. Announcers are Phil Rizzuto, Bill White, and Frank Messer. Aired on WGY Radio. NOTE: New York Yankee pitcher, Larry Gowell was the last AL pitcher to record a hit in a regular-season game before the DH was instituted. On October 4th, 1972, Gowell made his mark in baseball history when the rookie right-hander faced Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jim Lonborg, and slugged a 3-2 fastball down the left-field line for a double. Interestingly enough, it was Larry Gowell's first and last MLB hit, as well as the final regular-season hit by an American League pitcher until interleague play and the designated hitter was implemented for the 1973 American League season. Frank Messer, New York Yankee announcer from 1968 to 1985 calls the first, second, and third inning with Bill White.

Larry Gowell leads off the bottom of the third inning and on a 3-2 count doubles down the left field line. Messer states, "Even if this is Gowell's only hit he'll ever get (which is was)...a special memory." 72 minutes into this broadcasts Phil Rizzuto comments on Gowell. NOTE: The baseball Gowell hit now resides in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York. Also, interesting, 1972 had the lowest Yankee Stadium attendance record since 1945 (under 1 million). At his final game of the season only 5,210 fans were in attendance watching a Hall of Fame baseball historic moment transpire. Although Larry Gowell allowed only one run during this game the Yankees lost 1-0. It was to be Gowell's only MLB decision. ON FEBRUARY 29, 2020 LARRY GOWELL CONTACTED YOURS TRULY, PHIL GRIES STATING HE HAD BEEN SEARCHING FOR ANY BROADCAST RECORD OF THIS GAME FOR THE PAST 45 YEARS. One DVD SOUNDTRACK of the broadcast mastered from the original 1/4" reel to reel audio tape was sent to Gowell and he sent a second one sent to him to Cooperstown, audio courtesy of Archival Television Audio, Inc. An email I received on February 29, 2020, from Larry Gowell. Hi Phil A facebook friend of mine just let me know about your company. His name is Chris and he was looking into my time with yhth Yankees as a pitcher. The first game was in Milwaukee on September 21, 1972 in County Stadium where I pitched two perfect innings. In my second game, I started the last game of the year in Yankee Stadium on October 4th and pitched against Jim Lonborg. These were my only two starts with the Yankees. In that last game in Yankee Stadium it became an historical night for me and the game of baseball. In the third inning of the game I got up to bat which was the only time in my major league career, and ended up getting a hard hit double down the line that got to the wall. This being the last game of the season in the major leagues I found out about 8 years later that the hit I got ended up being the last hit by a pitcher before the enactment of the Designated Hitter rule (DH). I had the baseball because they always would give the baseball on the occasion of your first hit in the the big leagues. After I found out about this ai Sent the baseball to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. to be evaluated and to confirm this actually was the baseball and that I was the pitcher that hit it. With further review, they asked me if I wanted to donate the ball to the Hall of Fame as an historical baseball that is very valuable to the hall and to the history of baseball. So, with that said, I am looking for any Video or Audio I can find on that game at Yankee Stadium. Chris Chafin checked it out and he said you have it.I know that Mrs. Babe Ruth was in the stands for that last game too. I look forward to hearing from you. The Best, Larry Gowell 45 Seventh Street Auburn, Maine 04210 PH. 207...-.... ON March 11th I mastered for Larry Gowell a DVD sound track containing the complete game broadcast which runs 131 minutes. An additional copy was sent to him to send to the Baseball Hall of Fame. It is heartening to know that Larry finally had a chance, after 48 years, to share with his family, especially grandson, and friends and to reflect while listening to the actual broadcast of his historic hit...only two months prior to his passing, at age 72, on May 11, 2020.

ALL STAR WRESTLING was a WWWF television presentation quickly creating a great following for fans. These television broadcasts consisted of top tier or mid card opponents. The telecasts were taped and neatly edited into one hour programs which were syndicated on many television stations across the country. The official WWWF logo from 1963 to 1979. NOTE: Wrestling From Washington was a twice-weekly wrestling show produced by the Capital Wrestling Corporation owned by Vincent McMahon Sr. Bill Malone was the original host but was replaced by Morris Siegal (1956-1959). In 1959, Ray Morgan became the host and remained until 1970 when McMahon moved the operation to Hamburg, Pennslyvania. Vincent K. McMahon Jr. (McMahon's son) then became the program host. In New York WRESTLING first aired on WNEW, Channel 5, television on Thursday evenings from 9pm to 11pm with Marty Glickman at ringside from New York City. Beginning June 21, 1956 to October 8, 1964 WRESTLING FROM WASHINTON took over this time slot. Matches came from the Capitol Arena in D.C. Archived in the collection of Archival Television Audio, Inc. are over 30 broadcasts related to above matches airing during the time period February 8, 1962 to October 12, 1963 with Ray Morgan presiding at ringside. The World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) was formed on January 24, 1963. On April 25, 1963, Buddy Rogers was awarded the new WWWF World Heavyweight Championship, supposedly winning an apocryphal tournament in Rio de Janeiro. He lost the championship to Bruno Sammartino a month later on May 17, 1963, after suffering a heart attack shortly before the match. To accommodate Rogers' condition, the match was booked to last under a minute. Sammartino would retain the title for seven years, eight months and one day (2,803 days), making his the longest continuous world championship reign in men's wrestling history. Although Sammartino was the face of the WWWF, wrestlers such as Superstar Billy Graham and Bob Backlund were also hugely popular. The WWWF gained notoriety in the 1970s by holding their biggest shows at Shea Stadium or Madison Square Garden and doing strong business across the entire Northeast metlopolis. They leveraged former, but still popular, wrestlers such as Captain Lou Albano, "Grand Wizard of Wrestling" Ernie Roth and "Classy" Freddie Blassie to act as managers for Sammartino's heel (villainous) opponents. At this time, only babyface (fan favorite) wrestlers were allowed to have long championship reigns, such as Bruno Sammartino, Pedro Morales and Bob Backlund, who all retained for more than one year each. The heel champions, such as Ivan Koloff and Stan Stasiak, were used to "transition" the championship from one wrestler to another, and they generally kept the title for no more than a single month-long program before dropping it to the next babyface. Graham was the only heel character to keep his championship for longer than one month, as the WWWF felt it needed time to build Backlund up as championship material. Unlike most of the NWA territories, the main event would occur in the middle of the arena show cards, allowing the company to build upon the match's finish in order to sell tickets to the next event; reliable, popular workers such as Chief Jay Strongbow would then wrestle at the end of the show to send the crowd home happy, as evidenced in this November 19, 1972 TV Audio Air Check, winning his match in only 25 seconds. WWWF held their then major event Showdown at Shea three times at Flushing, New York's Shea Stadium in 1972, 1976 and 1980. Bruno Sammartino main evented the 1972 and 1980 events, in 1972 wrestling Pedro Morales to a 75 minutes time limit draw and in 1980 defeating Larry Zbyszko in a Steel cage match. The main event of the 1976 event was a Boxer vs Wrestler fight between Muhammad Ali and Antonio Inoki which ended in a draw (See ATA#18077A for the original HBO Special Event complete audio air check broadcast of this fight which was televised four times on HBO, June 27, July 1, 6, and 7th. At that event Bruno Sammartino retained the WWWF World Heavyweight Championship against Stan Hansen, also highlighted on the Ali HBO Special as well as a match between Andre the Giant and heavyweight boxer Chuck Wepner. Toots Mondt left the WWWF in the late sixties, and Vincent J. McMahon assumed complete control of the organization in 1971. This very early extant WWWF TV broadcast sponsored by Capital Wrestling Corporation with a young Vince McMahon Jr presiding at ringside and conducting interviews with many of the wrestlers performing on this broadcast is rare. Match number 1 The Spoiler victorious over Charlie Fulton in 4 minutes 52 seconds. Match number 2 Chuck O'Connor victorious over Dick (?) Cometti. Vince McMahon conducts half time interviews with Lou Albano, Chief Jay Strongbow, The Spoiler, who predicts victory against Tony Garea next Monday night at the Washington Avenue Armory in Albany (admission tickets $3.00). Garea talks with McMahon and predicts victory. Mach number 3 Tony Garea victorious over Bobby Paul in 7minutes & 48 seconds. Match number 4 Sonny King and El Olympico vs Black Jack Slade and Bobby Burns who lose in in a tag team match in 7 minutes & 45 seconds. Match number 5 Chief Jay Strongbow victorious over Joe Turco in an amazing 25 seconds of the match. Vince McMahon interviews Strongbow. and signs off till next time. Music and voice over credits are heard for this ALL STAR WRESTLING presentation presented through CAPITAL WRESTLING CORPORATION . Pre-recorded for the entertainment of viewers. Wrestlers on this broadcast include The Spoiler, El Olympico, Joe Turco, Chief Jay Strongbow, Bobby Burns, Chuck O'Connor, Charlie Fulton, Sony King, Bobby Burns, Bobby Paul, Black Jack Slade, and manager Lou Albano. Ring announcer is Joe McHugh Time keeper is Bill Sands. Referee is Lou Super. Commercials, include Sammy Davis Jr. for U.S. Airforce, Joan Crawford for MDA, and Bing Crosby for the Arthritis foundation. NOTE: Most complete ALL STAR WRESTLING television broadcasts prior to 1977 have been wiped and are sadly lost to history with the exception of over 80 existing audio air check recordings originally recorded off the air and archived in the library of Archival Television Audio, Inc.

The annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, one of the world's largest parades, is presented by the U.S. based department store chain Macy's. The parade started in 1924, tying it for the second-oldest Thanksgiving parade in the United States with America's Thanksgiving Parade in Detroit (both parades being four years younger than Philadelphia's Thanksgiving Day Parade). The two-hour parade is held in Manhattan from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Thanksgiving Day, and has been televised nationally on NBC since 1952. Employees at Macy's department stores have the option of marching in the parade The 46th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade telecast live from New York City. Hosts; Lorne Green and Betty White who have co-hosted The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade from 1963-1972. Scheduled to be in the parade and perform are Bill Anderson, The Dance Theater of Harlem, The World of Walt Disney, Donna Fargo, Jody Miller, John Raitt, Rockettes, West Point Glee Club. Joe Garagiola opens the broadcast congratulating Lorne Green and Betty White on their tenth consecutive appearance co-hosting the parade. Also noted that this telecast marks the 25th time, since 1945, that NBC Television has broadcast the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, either locally or nationally. From 1942 to 1944 the Parade was cancelled during World War 2. It should come as no surprise that many of the telecasts from the 1950s thru the early 1970's are lost, or not known to presently exist in any broadcast form, and only TWO pre-1980 parade exists in full. One archived segment of the November 22, 1973 NBC MACY's THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE resides at The Paley Center for Media, and a segment of the November 26, 1959 CBS coverage of the THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE is archived at The Paley Center for Media. Not one pre-1980 TV Thanksgiving Day Parade is archived by The Library of Congress or by UCLA Film & Television Archive. Network broadcast Kinescopes and Video were either discarded, wiped, or never recorded. Video recording software (3/4" U-Matic) was first released to the Public at great cost in 1971, and the Betamax (1975) and JVC VHS (1976) gave the public a means to record television broadcasts off the air, but, to date, it seems nobody at home elected to record a complete parade and kept it making the 1971-1979 parades more likely to be found possibly only as clips than the 1952-1971 parades. Certain footage from old telecasts has been shown in anniversary specials, showing that some still exist. Bootleg copies circa 1980 to the present have been posted on You Tube...most all playback reflecting poor to fair quality till the 2000's. During the first television years, the parade went through changes. Many of the parade's most iconic balloons were introduced in this period, such as Popeye, Bullwinkle, the Happy Dragon, Underdog, Smokey Bear, Linus the Lionhearted, Sinclair's Dino, and the first two Snoopy balloons. The toy float concept was introduced in the 1960s, with a turkey-shaped one, introduced in 1973, eventually becoming parade mascot Tom Turkey. A few notable lost parades include the 1956 parade (when Mighty Mouse crashed at Herald Square), 1965 (the debut of Underdog), and 1971 (when all the balloons had to be removed due to bad weather). Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (partially found NBC broadcasts of parade; 1953-1980) The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is an annual event held in New York City every Thanksgiving Day. The Parade was founded in 1924 as a Christmas pageant by Macy's immigrant employees who wanted to celebrate the holiday, akin to parades held for special occasions in Europe. The Parade is perhaps best known for its iconic helium balloons that depict characters from pop culture such as cartoon characters, brand mascots, and original Macy's characters. History Since 1953, NBC has held the telecast rights to the Parade prior to this, CBS broadcasted the Parade. NBC's broadcast of the Parade traditionally lasts three hours, with the first hour dedicated to performances by Broadway musicals and the Parade progressing to the finish line. The other two hours consist of the Parade itself, which features giant balloons, floats, cultural performances, celebrity appearances, and musical/talent ensembles. The Parade ends with Santa Claus riding on his own float, signaling the unofficial arrival of the holiday season. Hosts of the NBC telecast have included such personalities as Lorne Greene, Betty White (from 1963 to 1972), Kent McCord, Martin Milner (1973), Ed McMahon (from 1974 to 1981), Helen Reddy (1975), Bryant Gumbel (from 1977 to 1980 and 1982 to 1984). Availability Out of the 28 Parade broadcasts that aired on NBC between 1953 and 1980, only two (1959 & 1976) of them have surfaced in full. Video recording equipment was not readily available to the general public until 1971, meaning the 1953-1970 broadcasts have a lower chance of being found than the 1971-1980 broadcasts. Clips from various pre-1980 telecasts have been used in Parade anniversary specials produced by NBC, meaning at least parts of the broadcasts remain in the NBC archives. Notably lost parades include the 1956 Parade (when all balloons succumbed to blustery winds, with Mighty Mouse crashing in front of NBC cameras), 1960 (the debut of the Happy Dragon, Macy's longest-running singular balloon to date) and 1971 (when all the balloons had to be removed due to heavy winds and rain).
