Oct 4, 1972 — Milwaukee Brewers beat New York Yankees (1-0). Oct 4, 1972, Attendance: 5210, Time of Game: 1:57.

The Milwaukee Brewers defeat the New York Yankees 1-0 at Yankee Stadium on this final day of the regular season. Jim Lonborg scatters three hits in winning his 14th game of the season. 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.

Bill White, New York Yankee announcer form 1971 to 1988 calls the fourth, fifth and sixth inning with Phil Rizzuto.

Phil Rizzuto, New York Yankee announcer from 1957 to 1996 calls the seventh, eighth and ninth inning with Frank Messer from County Stadium, Milwaukee Wisconsin. 

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

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.

1972-1973 (Syndicated). Half-hour musical show with Henry Mancini and his orchestra.

The Mancini Generation, a syndicated TV series that premiered in 1972, was hosted by none other than the man himself, award-winning composer Henry Mancini, and featured instrumental 40-man band versions of standards from pop hits to movie themes to classical overtures as well as originals composed by the series' star. After a brief run the show was canceled, perhaps having come a bit too late to appeal to the tastes of an audience that several years earlier would have more readily embraced a program perceived as cooler than The Lawrence Welk Show but not as cool as rock and roll. But there's a ring of truth to the short-lived series' title; the period from the late '50s through early '70s could easily be seen as an era defined by Mancini's music. His compositions permeated pop culture during those years, if often in subtle ways. He created literally hundreds of music scores, gaining acclaim, fame and fortune for television themes like Peter Gunn and Mr. Lucky and movie music for Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Pink Panther among many, in addition to occasional non-big- or small-screen recordings, supplying a daily music backdrop for tens of millions of people falling within that particular generation.

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).
