This is from KTLA broadcast June 27 1972, with highlights of the California Angels' 3-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins at old Metropolitan Stadium.
Video starts off with movie trailer for "Shaft's Big Score", then goes to game highlights with a show of Gene and Mrs. Autry in stands. Ads for Motocraft, HFC, and TV Guide are featured. Game highlights include Ken McMullin homering and also a triple play that Jim Nettles hits into off of Nolan Ryan (who tripled earlier in the game) and Sandy Alomar Sr plays an important role in. Harmon Killebrew hits an RBI single early in the game (but not featured in video highlights) Losing pitcher is Jim Perry.

Other scores include the Montreal Expos and St. Louis Cardinals splitting a double header (Montreal wins second game 11-3), Detroit Tigers beating the New York Yankees 5-2, Boston Red Sox over the Cleveland Indians 8-2, Cincinnati Reds beating the Dodgers 5-4, and the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies also splitting a doubleheader.
I was on a kid’s show that ran on KTLA in December of 1962. I was five years old. Still have my memorabilia from that appearance.
