. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Bill North, Joe Rudi and Gene Tenace smashed homers and Ken Holtzman tuned up for the championship series by allowing only three hits in five innings as the Athletics defeated the Angels, 6-3. North's homer was only his first of the season, but it was No. 21 for Rudi and 29 for Tenace. [The Sporting News]
