This was the first AL game I ever saw. Incredible game. Winfield goes nuts with two bombs early, one grand slam. I can still see the ball sitting in the lawn behind the left field fence - not there any more. Bo goes deep, then boyhood idol George Brett hits two, the last one off Righetti in the bottome of the 8th to take the lead. Top of ninth was epic, with Clark and Winfield fanning with the bases loaded. Crowd was very loud. Very exciting game and finish.
