Grade:  85/100.  Rough commercial edits, but otherwise pretty decent for such an old game.

 

Notes:  Despite three home runs by George Brett (an ALCS single-game record), off Catfish Hunter, the Yankees pull out a 6–5 win in the 3rd game of the LCS. Thurman Munson's 2-run homer in the 8th gives the Yanks a 2-1 series lead. Reggie Jackson hits a 2nd inning homer to match a George Brett blast.

Thanks Rai!
