Ned Martin and Curt Gowdy calling the 12th inning of Game 6 in 1975 on NBC Radio and the quality is pristine.
NBC in New York decided to move the broadcast to FM so Cousin Brucie could do his thing on WNBC-AM. The entire game is available but I have it cued to the top of the 12th.
Before the game started something of note happened and I have cued the clip.
The scheduled singer for the anthem Kate Smith was unable to make it to Fenway and the Red Sox asked organist John Kiley if he knew anybody who could cover. Kiley called a student at the nearby New England Conservatory of Music to get to Fenway Park. The student who was not a sports fan said how do I get there and Kiley said to take the T to Kenmore and follow the crowd.
He was then invited to sing at a Bruins game and kept the gig for 42 years
