. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Dave Lemanczyk pitched a four-hitter and the Yankees committed four errors to help the Blue Jays breeze to a 5-1 victory. With the score tied, 1-1, in the sixth, Doug Ault stole second and came around to score when Thurman Munson's throw sailed into center field. Ex-Yankee Otto Velez followed with his second homer of the season. [The Sporting News]
