As I recall, it was the NBC Game of the Week: Detroit vs Oakland. And Denny McClain won his 30th game of the season.
Detroit won that pennant in '68 and defeated St Louis in the World Series. However, it was Mickey Lolich who won 3 games, including game 7, to make the Tigers the champs.
Bob Welch of the Dodgers won 27 in 1988. No one has come close to 30 ever since.
