Wednesday July 30, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Rick Langford allowed only two hits and turned in his 14th consecutive complete game as the A's routed the Blue Jays, 11-1. In winning his sixth straight, Langford had a perfect game going until Alfredo Griffin led off the Jays' seventh inning with a homer. The A's had four round-trippers -- a pair of two-run drives by Wayne Gross and solo shots by Dave Revering and Jeff Newman. [The Sporting News]
