I was too young to have listened to the 1979 game (I was 5), but I've listened to the entire radio broadcast on YouTube somewhere (commercials and all). It's funny that June 15 was the trade deadline then, so there were trade reports (and musings about what trades weren't made).
That ITP homer in the ninth was WW's second of the game; in the sixth he hit his first-ever over-the-fence homer.
I know that Denny tells the story of that game from time to time: Whitey sent a lot of the regulars back to the hotel and when the rest of the team returned, they didn't believe the returning players that they'd actually won!

Now I’m going to have to do some YouTube searching. I would love to hear some old radio broadcasts.
