. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Overcoming a 6-1 deficit, the Yankees edged the White Sox, 7-6. The game was tied, 6-6, when Bob Watson stroked a one-out single in the top of the ninth inning. Reggie Jackson forced Watson but then stole second and raced home on a pinch-single by Jim Spencer. The Bronx Bombers had tied the score in the eighth frame on a two-run pinch-homer by Oscar Gamble.
