. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Reggie Jackson homered for his fifth game in a row, one short of the A. L. record, to provide a run in the ninth inning that gave the Orioles a 4-3 victory over the Rangers. Five players share the A. L. mark of homers in six consecutive games. In the N. L., Dale Long of the Pirates hit homers in eight straight games in 1956. [The Sporting News]
