. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The revived Yankees pounded the Orioles, 9-6, for their sixth victory in succession as Reggie Jackson and Thurman Munson hit two-run homers. Jackson, booed constantly by the fans for playing out his option with the Orioles in 1976, also contributed two doubles and scored three runs. [The Sporting News]
