"The Royals won't last. And signed it "Capt Sal".

The A's came charging and got within 2 games with 5 to play. But Larry Gura threw a 4 hitter and they clinched a tie that night.

The Royals lost the final 3 games to the Twins at home, but Oakland lost also and the 76 Royals were division champs.

I still get the exact dates of memorable Royals games from the mid-80’s to 90’s mixed up how the hell do you remember all these details from the 70’s? Its really impressive.
