. . . where the 1970s live forever!

For the first time in major league history, four pitchers combined on a no-hitter as the Athletics defeated the Angels, 5-0. Vida Blue pitched the first five innings and permitted the only Angels' baserunners of the game -- two on walks and one on an error by Bert Campaneris. Glenn Abbott came in for the sixth inning, Paul Lindblad pitched the seventh and Rollie Fingers hurled the last two frames. Among them, the relievers retired the last 12 straight batters. Reggie Jackson drove in three of the A's runs with his 35th and 36th homers. [The Sporting News]
