. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Rick Monday's homer capped a three-run second-inning and sent the Dodgers on their way to a 3-1 triumph over the Giants, enabling them to clinch the N. L. West championship. The winning rally began when Steve Garvey beat out a bunt and then stole second. Dusty Baker doubled to score Garvey and Monday followed with his circuit clout. [The Sporting News]
