August 2, 1979 - 2 Big Baseball Stories: Thurman Munson Dies, Don Kessinger Retires

This is Chicago news coverage, recorded on the enormous Betamax I'd purchased with my earnings from the summer before (I was 18 when this happened). Bill Veeck is seen and heard in the Kessinger piece. Footage of Tony La Russa as a minor league manager in Iowa is seen; LaRussa replaced Kessinger as skipper of the White Sox.
