. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Playing what proved to be his last game in an Indians' uniform, Chris Chambliss capped a rally with a three-run double in the seventh inning to beat the Angels, 4-3. Nolan Ryan, pitching for the Angels, had a 3-0 lead until two walks started his trouble in the seventh. After George Hendrick fanned, John Lowenstein beat out an infield hit to load the bases and Jack Brohamer drove in a run with a single before Chambliss sliced his double down the left field line. After the game, it was announced that Chambliss had been traded to the Yankees in a multi-player deal. [The Sporting News]
