Monday April 12, 1982
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Collecting 14 hits, the Yankees posted their first victory of the season, outslugging the Rangers, 10-7, in Texas' home opener. The Bronx Bombers scored four runs in the second inning on an RBI single by Rick Cerone and Willie Randolph's three-run homer. Jerry Mumphrey delivered a two-run single in the fourth and Dave Winfield cracked a leadoff round-tripper in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
