. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Athletics edged the Angels, 2-1, when Phil Garner singled with one out in the 11th, scoring Claudell Washington from second base with the winning run. Washington had doubled as a pinch-hitter, setting the stage for Garner's third successive single. The A's stole seven bases, increasing their season total to 297 and erasing the old American League record of 291 set by the 1913 Senators. [The Sporting News]
