75 Red Sox were pretty loaded as well...funny how we can just rattle off every team who played where from the 70s all these years later.

ya know , you can ask anybody who was a kid back in the 70's and they can name all the field players for the big red machine.

but very few of them can name more than 2 pitchers on that team.

easily the greatest offensive lineup to be backed up by one of the greatest no name pitching staffs in history .

69-70 Twins were also a very good team all the way around....nobody ever mentions those teams, the Twins had a good organization back then but a cheap owner who let all his players leave once free agency started..

we used to go camping as a family during that decade with several other familys . their was 1 boy who was my same age and we knew every player for every team and all their stats .

I was at all four of those games, it was a magical weekend that ended tragically... still on of my greatest memories though...I was looking at that '82 schedule last night.

Palmer vs Sutton final day of the season, Robin Yount leads off the game with a homer to rightfield and that was it.
