. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Homers by Reggie Jackson, Eric Soderholm and Bobby Brown highlighted the Yankees' 10-4 rout of the Rangers. New York took a 2-0 lead in the second inning on a double-play grounder by Rick Cerone and solo homer by Soderholm. Brown drilled a two-run circuit clout in the fourth and Jackson's bases-empty blow touched off a three-run fifth. [The Sporting News]
