You may enjoy this Twitter feed (1970s Baseball).

ALSO on this day in baseball history, 1971, the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Baltimore Orioles in game 7 to become World Champs in the first WS game played at night. Can you name the series MVP?

Roberto Clemente. He could do it all. So many greats in that series. Brooks and Frank Robinson. Palmer and their great staff. Willie Stargell, Steve Blass had a great series for the Pirates. They would meet again in 79 with the same outcome. That was the ‘we are family’ Pirate team.

The Great One - Roberto Clemente

After spring training got cancelled I was watching old games on YouTube, including the 71 Series Game 7. Man, the game has changed - Steve Blass shut the O’s down on what looked to be a lot of hittable pitches. I guess he would be a “pitch to contact” pitcher today.
