The Oakland A's take a 2-0 lead in the 1972 American League Championship Series with a 5-0 win over the Detroit Tigers at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. Jim Odom pitches a complete game three hit shut out and Bert Campaneris is the hitting star for the A's as he scores two runs and goes three for three. Woody Fryman is the loser for the Tigers. Announcers are Curt Gowdy and Tony Kubek. NOTE: INCLUDES COMPLETE BERT CAMPANERIS / LERRIN LaGROW BRAWL. Bert Campaneris Bat Throwing Incident: 1972 ALCS In 1972, LaGrow had a 1.32 earned run average (Adjusted ERA+ of 240) in 16 games. He also pitched 1 scoreless inning in Game 2 of the 1972 American League Championship Series against the Oakland Athletics. LaGrow's single inning led to one of the most memorable moments of the 1972 ALCS. In the bottom of the 7th inning, Bert Campaneris came to bat, having had 3 hits, 2 runs scored, and 2 stolen bases in his first 3 at bats in the game. LaGrow's first pitch hit Campaneris in the ankle. Campaneris staggered for a moment, glared at LaGrow and then flung his bat toward LaGrow. The bat spiraled at LaGrow five feet off the ground, but LaGrow ducked, and the bat narrowly missed LaGrow, landing a few feet behind the mound. A bench-clearing brawl ensued, and Tigers manager Billy Martin had to be restrained by umpires and teammates to prevent him from going after Campaneris. Both LaGrow and Campaneries were suspended for the rest of the ALCS. NOTE: IN 2017 AN 80 SECOND CLIP OF THIS INCIDENT WAS UPLOADED TO YOU TUBE. IN 2023 A PRE-RECORDED VHS VIDEO TAPE HOME RECORDED VERSION WAS UPLOADED TO YOU TUBE SHOWING ONLY 83 MINUTES OF THIS GAME, OMITTING MANY PLAYS INCLUDING THE ENTIRE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE 6TH INNING, TOP OF THE 7TH INNING AND PICKING UP AFTER THE BERT CAMPANERIS / LERRIN LaGROW BAT THROWING INCINDENT.1975-10-04, WABC, 52 min.
