I lived near Houston and we were (and still are) huge Astros fans. They were so sad-sack up until 1980 and when they blew the three-game lead it was just a reminder of all of the past Astros meltdowns. To see them win this game, especially in L.A. against a team I absolutely despised as a young teen, was so cathartic.
I believe that we win that classic series against the Phillies if J.R. had not gone down. He was filthy dominant in 1980.
The Oilers as well. They always disappointed
Everybody in Houston that I know including myself hated LA and still does to this day, I was so glad when they won this game
I hated the Dodgers and the Cowboys when I was a kid!!! Despised Staubach and Garvey!!! Kinda funny when I think about it now!!😂

It looks beautiful. I think a video showing you going through the process of improving these games would be interesting.
Thank you Dave it's beautiful...bringing such joy in my usual bummerific life.
It looks awesome. Thank you.
Sir what other games do you have by the way?
@@learningvideosbynikhil8308 I only really have about 5 or 10 more baseball recordings at the moment that are decent enough to try to enhance. I definitely want to get more if someone out there has some from DVD sources and would like to donate them to me. On the flip side, I probably have over 400 NFL games I can work on, and 70 or more NBA.
Dave Volsky, another fine job ! As baseball is my most nostalgic sport, I'm enjoying all of your hard work cleaning up these old gems. Please never quit!
Bob and Al are both still working the same exact job.
Thanks for the great work! I remember rushing home from school to watch this!
the first and only Game 163 home run in Astros history
also strange start to history for Houston at Dodger Stadium:
-victory in 1980 here
-losing three straight there in the 1981 NLDS
-Winning Game 2 and 7 in the WS there in 2017
-Winning the 2020 ALDS (versus oakland), which was played at Dodger Stadium due to COVID year
Great game. Thanks for the real baseball, Dave! Looking forward to more ballgames!
1980-81 was a good, yet heartbreaking era for Houston sports. The Oilers lost the AFC Championship Game that January, one game from the Super Bowl. The Astros lost the NLCS that October, one game from the World Series. Then in 1981, the Rockets lost the NBA Finals, two wins from the championship.
Remember coming home from work on Monday and watching this game. Astros pulled off what Baltimore similarly couldn't do against Milwaukee in 1982.
these 2 teams had a memorable rivalry for 2 seasons. astros got the best of the dodgers in 80 , dodgers returned the favor rallying from 2 games down in the divisional series to win 3 in a row over houston. good players on both sides
those astros uniforms are incredible
one of a kind
If I wanted to wear an Astro's throwback jersey today, I would wear the one's they're wearing in this game. I still don't care for the old sunset home jerseys. But, I know a lot of Astro's fans love them.
Yes, they were. Pinnacle of 70s design
@@oldiesgeek454 I have two Astros jerseys from 1989 that my dad got from Astros fantasy camp.
One is the same design as the ones in this game, and that one has our last name on the back.
The other has no name or number but is the full sunset home jersey.
I would alternate wearing those when I would go to Astros games for many years.
@pfzt Those Houston Astros rainbow uniforms back in the day are so awful not the road jerseys however theyre home jerseys are awful and iconic
Baseball on ABC was great. Even though I had to put baseball on NBC just ahead cause they had Vin Scully on play by play and Joe Garagiola doing the color commentary.
Nothing like DAYTIME postseason baseball
@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 YES!!! They should do more. Usually in the early series of the playoffs they do some day games but once it gets to the LCS series they are all night games.
@@davevolskysbackdoor5673Had to be a daytime game due to Monday Night Football.
Everyone stood and many sang our national anthem, Star Spangled Banner. God Bless THE USA! I remember the excitement of knowing when the school day ended a baseball playoff game was on tv. Old days-good times I remember. Thank you, Dave!
You had to stand up back then, had no choice. That’s about as American as North Korea. Remember the good ol days when America was like North Korea?
@@Joeyg50
Your a bit mixed up...
It has become like N.Korea...

HERES THE DEAL
chan.
Memorable. Astros up 3 games with 3 to play. Dodgers sweep them final weekend in Los Angeles. Joe Niekro slams the door on L.A. in the playoff. Then Astros get ripped off in the NLCS on the triple play that wasn't.
The Astros had a great team in 1980. If JR Richard hadn’t had that stroke, they probably would’ve won the division outright and who knows what else….
The Astros always were my favorite team always since my childhood
The Astros would have won it all if J.R. wouldn’t have gone down.
@@carlbiesele1457they still should have won regardless. They totally blew Game 5 of the NLCS. Up 5-2 in the 8th at home, and you still lose? Smh.
With Nolan Ryan. Those were two guys NL hitters didn't care to bat against.
@@akbarlebowitz8151and Ken Forsh...they had a tremendous rotation until you said it JR went down....
So nostalgic. I love rewatching hoping for a different outcome. Thank you.
My first little league team was the Astros. I have been a fan ever since. I certainly wish they would bring back these away and of course their home jerseys from this era Loved em!!
Al Michael's calling the game. Mr ABC
Then the Astros went on to play in arguably the greatest NLCS of all time.
Hearing the legendary Al Michaels he's good broadcasting baseball and football plus my favorite broadcaster on ABC from his work as a NFL broadcaster on Monday night football and ABC baseball coverage
I was a huge Astros fan back in the late 70s & all of the 80s.
Finally went home happy this day after 3 previous attempts in what was an exciting 3, then 4th game Tiebreaker series. Such a memorable weekend, I still remember so many details about my experiences after all these years.
After LA got the improbable sweep to force the playoff, it seemed like Houston was doomed. But they hit the brakes just in the nick of time. They deserved better in 1980. Coulda/woulda/shoulda vs Philly... But man, what a great NLCS that was.
@@dantheman5745 1980 NLCS = 4 of the best of 5 games went extra innings! Great baseball in that series. Too bad gm 4 and 5 may get blocked. I would love if Dave could work on all of those games......maybe one day, when MLB gets back in the enhancement rotation, he could resurrect Game 2 & 3. I sent the files.
@@dantheman5745 Too bad only the 10/5/80 Sunday game and this Tie breaker are seemingly preserved. The Friday 10/3 and Saturday 10/4 HOU at La games were tight thrillers...
@@romelovesdanSo you were at this game? If so, where were you sitting?... Just curious. 😊
@@oldiesgeek454 Second level- Orange (Force!) Loge section 121 looking down first base line.
SAT & SUN Field level/ Yellow Section 32...... FRI Blue Reserved Section 4
Sadly, I was stuck at school while this classic was on.
Classic?
@@jeffwright1722sure, classic is a subjective title. One person's classic is another person's not-a-classic. All good no matter how one describes this particular game. I feel blessed and am thankful Dave uploads these games when sports was fun to watch.
Yeah; I never understood why some people complain about the games being on too late at night for the kids to watch.
When the games were on earlier, kids couldn't watch them because we were in school!
Although I had a couple of teachers who did let us watch big playoff games in class on occasion.
I had just gotten home as this game came on the air at 3PM CT
I remember I was 7 years old went to a mom and pop shop in the neighborhood with my mom and there many customers there that day watching the game.
We had season tickets for the Dodgers in the 80's. The fans back then were fun at Dodger stadium, now its Choloville.
Well, we HAD to Build Back Better in November of 2020 (supposedly) annnnnd now we don’t know WHO is in the country anymore…🤷🏼♂️
@@sec9788 yup exactly 💯
@@sec9788 Let's Go Brandon
@@RighteousRhythm Always!
@@sec9788We have built back better. Tons of construction projects going on right now.
The seemingly lone Astros "Tequila Sunrise" Jersey wearing fan in the stands was what I was wearing ......I had to wash it after FRI, SAT, and SUN....A few Orange Astros caps , but the merchandise was not mass marketed yet, beyond snap back hats, random t-shirts, and souvenir stand helmets.
Loved those Astros jerseys!
@@dantheman5745 Great to see you here liking the content. I loved that unique jersey design. I also liked the introduction of the rainbow sleeve gray road jerseys this 1980 season too.
@@romelovesdan Oh, I _loved_ baseball, especially from this era. Loved the game, loved the history of the game. Played any chance I got, in any form it came in. Baseball, softball, stick ball, wiffle ball, whatever. Was never the same for me, though, after the strike in '94.
Didn't realize you were an Astros fan. How did that come about? Were they your hometown team?
@@dantheman5745 Same here, I would play whenever I could, even 1 on 1 wiffle and nerf ball games-----Still the only sport I watch anymore, but they may be 'on notice' with a few more missteps.
I was born in Texas, .....my Baseball fandom can be explained, but it is a long story. My favorite team as a kid was the Pittsburgh Pirates. 1977-1979- My favorite uniforms of all time (I think they wore 18 combinations, but there were really as many as 99 possible combinations mixing hats, undershirts and stirrups).
@@romelovesdan I remember those very well. The '79 WS was possibly the most colorful one ever played. I think those yellow (PIT) & orange (BAL) unis are probably burned into my retinas. LOL! The "We Are Family" champs.
I hardly watch anymore. I _maaaaaaay_ catch the occasional WS game, especially if it's a decider. The ridiculous time between pitches should've been treated as a cancer by MLB a loooong time ago. And I just don't have the stomach for all of the self-aggrandizing, especially the standing at home plate and admiring hits instead of running.
If you're an Astros fan, you know better than anyone how costly that is. (not that any human on earth had to witness it actually happen to know how potentially harmful that behavior is to a team's success) Seeing George Springer preen & admire what should have been a triple, and instead, end up on 2nd base in the 8th inning of Game 1 vs the Nationals, thus not being able to score on Altuve's deep fly in the next AB, thus failing to tie the game that subsequently went into extra innings, where the Nats won, in a series Houston lost 4 games to 3, was the last straw. The egomania finally actually cost a team the World Series....and yet these Neanderthals KEEP DOING IT. And managers keep allowing it.
Hit ball. Run hard. This, apparently, is too difficult a concept for today's players to grasp. I guess they're just not paid enough to hustle on every play.
86 was pretty good too
You talk about Vin Scully and his longevity, Al Michaels is still doing broadcasting today. Bob Uecker “Mr. Baseball” is still doing it too, for the Milwaukee Brewers.
The swag is timeless
Dave I don't know how you do it, but I'm sure glad you do!
This is all so incredibly beautiful!! And more NHL games please!

Hee Hee. Dave Goltz. Art Howe. The playoff that followed between Houston and Philly was one of the best ever.
Hey I forgot Joe Morgan returned to Houston. This was the era , the Reds were broken up and L.A. would the next year or after.
The Dodgers had momentum going into this game, but like Whitey Herzog said momentum is next days starting pitcher
Great work. Unfortunately for Dodger fans, a very anticlimactic and disappointing finish to a wonderful weekend of drama and Dodger comebacks to extend the season. Astros were just better in this game and deserved to go to the playoffs.
"The Big Dodger in the sky" just ran out of miracles. Attending all four games, I can attest there were some unforeseen, exciting twists in each game.
Joe Morgan!
Great memories, thanks for sharing!
Joe Morgan such a killer
Recall being in elementary school and we had a small radio on during class, buy the time class let out it was all ready too late. Goltz instead of Fernando haunts LA fans to this day.
Exactly. Same exact thing at my school. Kind of glad I missed it after I knew the score.
Fernando was a rookie in 1981.
Terrible call going with Goltz....
@@JosePerez-vz1qq He was a September call up in 1980
@@romelovesdan i did not know that. Thank you
I was in the left field pavilion for these last two games heckling Jose Cruz. Took off H.S. because we could drive ourselves.
I was there too. I was sitting behind right field foul pole
The Astros had great teams 3 yrs in a row and could have gone far, but for some poor luck.
That was real baseball. Who pitches complete games anymore?
No instant championship caps or t-shirts to put on after the game in those days.
Seeing Art Howe YOKED is a gasser!! (And equally depressing 👀😣!)
THESE were the Stros **I** grew up with at the Ravine. Cedeño & Enos especially. Nancy Bea, Mike Britto on the gun, ol’ George Owens t’rowin 2-baggers in 3B Loge! GOD do I miss these days!! 😩
Great memories of attending games there in that era. I sat in Lodge Sec 121 this NL West tiebreaking game. Attended 40 games in the ravine that year. Mostly in Field Sec 32. Buying peanuts from Roger Owens was always fun and something we looked forward to, even though we'd rather have the Frozen Carnation "Chocolate Malt".... Do you remember another vender ,who we kids thought was an ancient 90 year old.? (Probably in his early 70's) He worked around the same time late 1970s' 1980s.....
@@romelovesdan Wow! A kindred Dodger spirit! I’ve hated the heat since birth (not good as an LA native). My first game was St. Lou @ LA on 1B side. The sun BAKES there. I freaked seeing Garvey & my pops pointing out all the players. Sutton was pitching. Prolly 1976.
LOVED the carnation containers w the wooden spoon that had splinters in it! 😂 George is the only one I remember because I sat in his section the most. The way he could throw QUARTERS back & they’d stay together, perfect tosses. 2-bagger skyhooks. I saw him do it on Leno once! 😄👍
My last game was Game 1 of the DS where Kersh hung a 5-spot before I had my first sip of water! 😖 Saw George and his wig THAT GAME! He’s STILL THERE!! 😳 For decades I always say, “Yo, OWENS! Over here!” w a smile. He squints at me & grins, makes a joke, and I know I’m just one of millions, but there’s only ONE George. Not sure of any other longtime vendor though. Great to read your post! 🤙✌️
@@Mo_Ketchups We grew up in great times. Fantastic teams in both dugouts 1974-1985. and many beyond that.
My favorite Dodger, Joe Ferguson went from hero to goat.
Two time Dodger as well as an Astros' catcher 1977-78.
Ha!! Bob Uecker called Joe Niekro Phil @ 3:25!!
53:41 Monday got rid of the that ball so fast!
You found a great game
Another nice job
The season series should have been a tie breaker in my opinion.
Not in those days.
Both teams wearing home whites 😮
Good game thank you you don't have game 5 0f the 1976 play offs new York yeankees vs Kansas city royels
I don't
Astros greatest uniforms are the brick red pinstripes I miss those the brick red caps was a great creation 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
When did Morgan sign with houston?
He only returned to Houston for that one year in 1980
what song was that in the intro
Back when we had REAL pennant races and none of this wild card and play in game crap.
Bill Russell was such a sad sack manager. Overshadows his playing career. Dodgers still keep him around?
LASORDA coulda stolen on Ferguson! 😖
.....
I don't wanna see anything Astros related LOL
Seriously though, looks like this is another great job by you and hey, Al Michaels doing baseball is always a plus. The guy was low key just as good with baseball as he is with football.
Goltz 89 strikeouts in 168 innings pitched - seemingly everyone today gets a strikeout per inning - and of course they no longer work deep into games.
He was not that good of a pitcher though that year.
Goltz I thought was the rally killer but he was snake bit by poor fielding.
👍👍
This was when Michael's was still doing his Vin sully impersonation
2017 MLB World Series preview
Not as intense as Yankees Red Sox 2 years earlier. Dodger fans were pumped.
Back when catchers were men not like today
🙂👍
I didn't think teams were allowed to.wear white uniforms on the road.
Astros road uniforms were a light gray. See the difference when they are shown in contrast to a Dodger home whites.
Why was this playoff game even played? The regular season records were tied but the Dodgers won the season series 10-8. Why wasn’t that a tiebreaker? Isn’t that how it works today? It sure does in every other sport. Houston was given an undeserved “2nd chance”.
@georgelafontaine6045 And wasn't it a coin flip (not the head-to-head record) that gave the Dodgers the home game for the playoff?
The Reds had the best record in the NL the year after and lost out one the Playoffs because of strike rules where the two halves determined playoffs, not total record.
@georgelafontaine6045 or in 1946, 1951, 1959 and 1962. It happened more than we realize in that 1946-1962 era- 5 times out of 17 seasons.
The NFL also had a tiebreaker game from 1933-1966 if two teams finished tied for the conference championship. Also the NFL took a two week break just in case a playoff game was needed
What's wild is that if they used head-to-head as a tiebreaker, this game wouldn't have been played.
PBP: Al Michaels
You’d never get the democrats to sing this nowadays! What happened to them?! They’re so messed up now.
