1979 MISSING IN ACTION- AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

Time to add the American League Championship series to the newly designed 1979 missing postseason sub-set, following the National League counterpart from last week:

Over in the American League, the New York Yankees once again defeated the upstart Kansas City Royals for a third straight season, heading to the World Series once again to meet the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Yankees took the series 3 games to 1, with Ron Guidry supplying the series-clincher in a 2-1 win at the Stadium on October 7th.
Reggie Jackson led the way for the Yanks, hitting .462 with two homers and six runs batted in, with Mickey Rivers and Chris Chambliss also reaching .400.
On the Kansas City side, George Brett and Amos Otis did their best to bring an American League championship to K.C., hitting .389 and .429 respectively, with Brett also supplying the muscle, hitting three homers and scoring seven runs.
So the tables were set for yet another NY-LA match-up, and beginning next week we’ll go through each game with a highlight card, in full color.
Stay tuned!
