Fairly sure your 9/4/71 date is the best one out there.
He called games for the Braves during the 69-70 seasons and came to Milwaukee as a scout for Selig. He was moved to color after he sent in all of his scouting reports illegible and stuck to together with mashed potatoes and gravy. (Very Uecker, lol).
Here's his first appearance on Carson after getting that role (9/23/71)...it's a classic.
