. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A bases-loaded double by Tony Gonzalez in the seventh inning brought the Angels a 4-1 victory over the Royals. After Jim Fregosi and Jim Spencer singled and Jerry Moses doubled in the seventh inning for the run that tied the score at 1-1, Sandy Alomar walked with two out to load the bases. Gonzalez then batted for Ken Berry and cleared the sacks with his two-bagger. [The Sporting News]
