Why 80s Baseball Ruled

Celebrating 80s baseball: mustaches, great uni’s, crappy multipurpose stadiums, NBC Games of the Week, Big League Chew and more!

Jack Clark ended the Dodgers' season in Game 6 of the 1985 NLCS with a three-run homer that sent the Cardinals to the World Series.

Los Angeles chose to pitch to him with first base open.

It did not go well for them.

Get well, Terminator!

Well wishes to Jeff Reardon who is recovering from quadruple bypass surgery. He got the last three outs easily in the ‘87 World Series, my Twins won & as a 13 year old I was forever thankful & remain so.

The Twins were years ahead with their recycling program of Hefty bags.

It just got 1982 as hell up in here.

Love these away greys. Lance Parrish had the coolest C equipment when I was young. That orange was a great look, and on the glove too👌👌👌👌

RIP, Rat.

Whitey Herzog vs. Tommy Lasorda, Jack Clark vs. Tom Niedenfuer, Vin Scully vs. nobody. It was 1985: Win the NL pennant or go home. Tonight, I imagine Lasorda and Scully waiting at the plate. Whitey has gone home.

Pinnacle.

U L played 11 @MLB seasons mostly with the @Royals. He played with a blade of Bermuda grass in his mouth until he reached KC and had to use a toothpick because they played on artificial turf. U L Washington lost his battle with cancer this morning at the age of 70. #RIP
