"1981 World Series Game 1 Dodgers @ Yankees"
From John Quinn
A good pitching matchup for game 1 with Jerry Reuss going for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Ron Guidry going for the New York Yankees. Both teams needed good pitching to be successful in this series, because both clubs were loaded offensively with the Dodgers having Reggie Smith, Dusty Baker, Steve Garvey, Ron Cey, and others. And the Yankees having Reggie Jackson, Dave Winfield, Bob Watson, Craig Nettles, and others. So this looked like it would be a great World Series and going in. And in many way it was a good World Series.
