1979 World Series

It was deja vu all over again as the World Series featured a rematch between the New York Yankees and the San Francisco Giants (last years champions).
  • Game 1: Yankees 4, Giants 3 - 14 innings!
  • Game 2: Giants 3, Yankees 0 - Montefusco 5-hitter!
  • Game 3: Yankees 3, Giants 2 - 11 innings!
  • Game 4: Giants 5, Yankees 0 - Jim Wright 7 innings of 4-hit ball
  • Game 5: Giants 7, Yankees 5 - HR's by Gary Alexander, Jack Clark, Terry Whitfield
  • Game 6: Yankees 8, Giants 2 - Doc Ellis CG, 3 RBI's for Reggie Jackson & Carlton Fisk
  • Game 7: Giants 4, Yankees 1 - Terry Whitfield 3 HR of series

Terry Whitfield earned the Series MVP (3 HR's - 1 each in the final 3 San Francisco wins) as the Giants repeat as World Series champions!
